MONTENEGRO: Residents in Montenegro's Cetinje were filled with disbelief Saturday as they tried to make sense of an unexpected mass shooting that saw their quiet town's streets shattered by a gruesome killing spree.
Friday's shooting saw a man murder 10 residents in broad daylight before a passerby killed him, according to the state prosecutor.
The shooting erupted after an alleged argument involving the gunman turned violent.
The gunman then went on a door-to-door rampage during which he massacred a mother and two small children in a home he owned, according to residents.
Six people were also wounded, including three that were in a critical condition as of late Friday.
“In all, he broke into six houses,“ one resident in Cetinje told AFP, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Authorities have yet to release a motive for the crime by the 34-year-old assailant that his neighbours described as a “peaceful” family man who worked at a nearby national park and had been the member of a local hunting club.
“He was a peaceful and discreet man,“ said the 55-year-old neighbour of the gunman, who asked to remain anonymous. “He was a father of four children. Nobody expected this of him.”
“I didn’t know him very well, but he was never a problem... I am shocked that he could have done this,“ added the neighbour.
In the massacre's wake, Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic announced three days of official mourning, saying the incident was unprecedented in Montenegro's recent history.
“I invite all the citizens of Montenegro to be with the families of the innocent victims,“ he wrote in a post on Telegram late Friday.
- 'Sadness' -
Mladen Zadrima, the chief editor of Cetinje's local radio station, said residents were struggling to come to terms with the scale of the tragedy in the close-knit community of just 14,000 people.
“The day after has not brought any relief. On the contrary, disbelief has been replaced by sadness,“ said Zadrima.
Cetinje is famed as the home of the former royal capital and produced a string of renowned painters but for decades had fallen into economic malaise following the closure of an appliances factory that had once been the lifeblood of the community.
The picturesque town surrounded by mountains briefly gained notoriety for also being the home to members of the infamous jewel heist gang known as the Pink Panthers, whose members are mainly from hailed the former Yugoslav republics.
The incident comes as Montenegro is in the full throes of its highly anticipated tourism high season following two years of the coronavirus pandemic.
With an unemployment rate of some 18 percent and an average monthly salary of under 520 euros ($533), Montenegro counts on tourism and the appeal of some 300 km (180 miles) of azure coastline along with its stunning mountains to boost its revenues.
Organised crime and corruption have remained two major issues plaguing the country which authorities have pledged to tackle under pressure from the European Union.
Mass shootings, however, have been rare in the Adriatic nation.-Reuters | https://www.thesundaily.my/home/shocked-montenegro-town-reels-after-mass-shooting-XJ9586123 | 2022-08-13T21:14:13Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/home/shocked-montenegro-town-reels-after-mass-shooting-XJ9586123 | false | 9 |
OPINION:
It was either the Dalai Lama or Shania Twain who once said, "okay, so you're Brad Pitt? That don't impress me much".
But Brad Pitt is not the kind of guy who cares about impressing the Dalai Lama and Shania Twain. He knows he impresses everyone else. That's why he's now taking confident strides into the next era of his life and embarking on a style revolution.
The 58-year-old has been hitting the red carpets over recent weeks for the premiere of his new movie Bullet Train while rocking a distinct new lewk.

Advertise with NZME.The key fashion elements? Pastels and skorts.
Classic. Timeless. Sophisticated. I wore the same thing to my school formal.
Brad has entered a new phase. Throughout his career, he has transitioned smoothly from Hollywood heart-throb to bona fide movie star. Now he's keen to explore the territory of eccentric artist.
And, look: We'll accept Brad Pitt any way we can get him. He has reached a point where he can do whatever he wants and we'll continue to take him seriously.
In the past, the actor has been accused by memes of stealing his girlfriends' styles. He cut his hair like Gwyneth Paltrow when the pair dated in the 90s. He borrowed Jen Aniston's sea salt spray in the 2000s. And when he started dating Angelina, it seemed the pair made frequent trips to the blow bar together.
But his latest style revolution is truly one to behold. Is he simply being an eccentric artist? Or has he suddenly slipped into competing with the TikTok kids?
Whoever thought we'd see the day where Brad Pitt is trying to keep up with the internet's boyfriends Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles — with their flamboyant fashion choices of crushed velvet and bold statement patterns.
In Berlin he rocked a pink shirt, combat boots, and kilt. Then he brought a burst of colour to LA with a green suit and yellow sneakers. Other appearances have seen him donning zip-up tops, relaxed jacket-shirts and baggy drawstring pants in a variety of pastel hues.

Advertise with NZME.Asked about the skirt and his latest sartorial explorations, the actor simply replied: "I don't know! We're all going to die, so let's mess it up".
He makes it sound like there's not much thought going into it at all – that he's just taking life as it comes. But co-ordinated pastels don't just happen. Co-ordinated pastels are achieved through many meetings with stylists who strategise with Pinterest boards.
For us regular people, you get to a certain age where it's just too late for a style revolution.
When you're younger, you can experiment with looks and personas. But by the time you reach your 30s, you've pretty much settled into who you are. Your style is as predictable and expected as Bart Simpson's blue shorts and orange shirt combo.
A style revolution doesn't just affect your own life. It rocks the worlds of everyone around you. Like, imagine if your dad just started wearing accessories.
Or if your mum became one of those annoying people who really overcommits to 1950s rockabilly fashion.

Advertise with NZME.Even a colleague. If your middle-aged boss waltzed into the office tomorrow morning wearing a bowler hat, it would throw the workplace off its axis. No deadlines would be met that day. The pings would be going insane.
It takes a certain kind of confidence to wake up one morning and decide on a whim that you'll now become Bowler Hat Guy. And it's foolish to think that the rest of the world will accept it without comment.
Remember when Karl Stefanovic shook up his personal life a few years ago and went through his own style revolution by trying to be Matthew McConaughey with a fedora and braided leather bracelets? We all had a field day.
A style revolution is only for the brave. Like those women who decide they're going to exclusively wear purple until the end of time. They dedicate their entire lives to purple like it's a religion. Suddenly, their entire wardrobes are a patchwork of magenta and violet. Amethyst. Lilac, plum and mauve.
They usually also get a purple streak in their hair. Then paint the front door of their home a glossy shellacked purple. If you spot one of these women in the wild, follow them to the car park and you'll find she probably drives a purple Honda Jazz.
It goes without saying Brad's new style revolution would be tipping his ex Angelina Jolie over the edge. Her mates will have been texting her relentlessly after every red carpet appearance: "Did ya see the skort?"

Advertise with NZME.Seeing an ex move on with their life is annoying enough. But seeing an ex go through a style revolution? Enraging. Who the hell do they think they are?
In Australia, a style revolution of Brad Pitt's scale just wouldn't fly. Russell Crowe? The country couldn't handle it. We as a nation will only ever allow Rusty to wear that one black Best & Less tracksuit.

SpaceX launches 46 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit
A Falcon 9 rocket was launched Friday afternoon from Vandenberg Space Force Base, prompting the first round of cheering and applause from the control room.
More reasons to cheer would come minutes later.
The rocket brought 46 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Vandenberg’s Space Launch Complex 4 East.
The launch, which took place during good weather, marked the 56th Starlink mission and SpaceX’s 36th launch in 2022.
At just under one minute into the launch, the Falcon 9 exceeded the speed of sound.
At approximately 1 minute, 15 seconds into the launch, the Falcon reached MAXQ (the maximum dynamic pressure it will feel during flight). At approximately 2 minutes in, the Falcon was soaring at almost 5,000 kilometers per hour.
MECO (main engine cut off) occurred at approximately 2 minutes, 30 seconds into the launch. At approximately 2 minutes, 40 seconds, stage separation was confirmed, and again there was cheering and applause from the control room.
At approximately 2 minutes, 50 seconds in, the second engine startup or (merlin vacuum engine startup) occurred.
At approximately five minutes in, the reusable, first stage was coasting back to Earth, with the second stage accelerating under power of the merlin vacuum engine.
The rocket’s reusable first stage has previously launched 10 times with “quite a repertoire of launches under its belt,” according to the announcer.
At approximately 6 minutes, 30 seconds, the start of the first stage entry burn began. This was approximately a 20-second burn, where three engine burn slows the first stage down as it enters the upper parts of earth’s atmosphere.
The speed of the first stage decreased significantly as it entered the earth’s atmosphere. At approximately eight minutes in, the first stage’s speed reached speeds near or below speed of sound.
The first stage landed on a drone ship, and that was at 8 minutes, 30 seconds after the launch — to more cheers and applause.
“That was an amazing view of the first stage landing, thanks to our Starlink satellites,” said the announcer.
It was the 57th first stage landing on the ship Of Course I Still Love You and the 56th overall Starlink mission landing.

Positive signs indicate that the tough time is about to be over as the country resumes its journey on the road to progress and prosperity
On the 23 March 2018, the Pakistani community in the USA, especially in New York City, were pleasantly surprised when the famous Times Square was lit up by a colourful Rooh Afza advertisement, celebrating Pakistan Day. Thousands of Pakistanis all around the world flooded the internet with photos and videos of this event, sparking an unprecedented patriotic fervour. Within days, the love that the advertisement received from countless millions, from all over the world, was a testament to the brand that has survived a century and has grown with Pakistan, year by year strengthening its strong association with the home country. Therefore, for every Pakistani, no matter whichever part of the world they are in, Rooh Afza will always serve as a reminder of their home country and shall enable them to carry a small piece of Pakistan with them.
This timeless bond between Rooh Afza and Pakistan is the culmination of a dream by the visionary entrepreneur and a social reformer, Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said, the Founder of Hamdard Pakistan. On the back of his unparalleled struggle and sacrifice, Rooh Afza has become the pride of the nation, representing Pakistan wherever it goes globally; be it on a magazine, a billboard, a van, a shelf in a supermarket or in the pantries of countless South Asians living abroad. Rooh Afza is the star product of Hamdard Pakistan among hundreds of herbal products. Hakim Said was a patriot himself and because of him, Hamdard Pakistan is inherently a staunch advocate of patriotism and philanthropy. He started Hamdard Pakistan as a revivalist movement of ‘Unani medicine’, with a strong emphasis on social development and to nurture the young generations with education. Today, in the pursuit of excellence and following the principles and guidelines of its founder, Hamdard Pakistan has evolved over time. Every year, apart from its corporate affairs, the brand has been actively pursuing scientific research in medicines and diseases. Every year, the organisation adds new products to its product continuum, while upholding international standards with ethical workplace practices. Hamdard Pakistan ensures the quality and standard of its products and adheres to the international standards and laws prescribed by ISO and WHO. All of Hamdard’s products are duly registered with government authorities such as the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP). Hamdard Pakistan follows azero-tolerance policy towards compromise in quality.
As Hamdard Pakistan’s experts seek innovative new ways to treat the human body, specialties in beverages and medicines are at the forefront of Hamdard’s pipeline of new products. Such as, in recent years, Hamdard Pakistan added more products to its already over 400 products’ portfolio. These include Hamdard Gulab Mist, Hamdard Herbal Hair Oil, Sualin Kids Syrup, Migrex, Naunehal Nappy Cream, Rooh Afza GO, Doodh Rooh Afza: A punch of nutrition; Hamdard Honey: 100 per cent natural product; Naunehal Colic Drops, a remedy for colic pain in babies, Naunehal Herbal Toothpaste, and Sualin Lozenges, relief for throat pain, inflammation, and cough. Besides, Hamdard Pakitan has been spearheading innovation and research, and in recent years, introduced highly effective medicines to control hypertension and strengthen heart muscles like Qurs-e-Fishar and Dil Sukh.
Advancing the field of ‘Tibb-i-Unani’ is one of the key areas of focus for Hamdard Pakistan The legacy of Hakim Said translates into strongly valuing the significance of research and development in traditional medicine. Under his leadership, Hamdard Pakistan revitalised the field by continuous research on various herbs and their compositions. Hamdard remains persistent in playing a defining role in research and development to provide the best medical care to the general public. For that, Hamdard Pakistan efficiently manages a comprehensive network of free Hamdard clinics across the country.
Recently, Hamdard Pakistan started a drive to digitise all clinics and the firstever digital Matab has started its operations in Karachi. Hamdard Pakistan offers the first-of-its-kind free mobile dispensaries to provide health facilities at patients’ doorsteps and has set up various hospitals all over the country.
All of Hamdard Matabs provide free medical checkups and consultations as Hakim Said, besides being a physician par excellence, was also a philanthropist and an educationist who was determined to develop the health and education sectors of Pakistan. This sense of purpose has always led Hamdard Pakistan to play an important role in the development and promotion of general health, education, and social welfare.
All the social welfare initiatives are carried out under the umbrella of Hamdard Foundation Pakistan, which was established in 1964 to judiciously use the funds being handed over to it by Hamdard Pakistan. In keeping with his vision and goal of service to the country and humanity, these are employed for the advancement of health, education, and social upliftment.
Hamdard Pakistan operates schools, colleges, and the largest private sector university in the country — Hamdard University (HU), built at Madinat al-Hikmah (City of Education, Science, and Culture) — one of the most iconic accomplishments of its founder, Hakim Said. In its quest to serve humanity, Hamdard Pakistan initiates various drives to promote health and a healthy lifestyle among the general masses.
‘Hamdard Zindagi’ is one of those initiatives, where Hamdard’s experts and physicians (Hakims) provide free medical advice on an online social media platform via weekly webinars. Patients and those who seek medical advice can easily visit Hamdard Zindagi’s page on Facebook and can directly share their issues with the Hakims.
Hamdard Pakistan’s other significant CSR initiatives regarding improvement in general health are the annual plantation drive as well as the Rooh Afza and Hamdard Sharbat-e-Bazuri float drive to combat heatwaves in the country by providing these beverages to those stuck in traffic or working in the heat.
Serving people, and helping those in need is now a part of Hamdard’s corporate culture. In fact, philanthropy is always taken into consideration whenever the organisation devises its strategy and sets up goals for the future. The future comes with its own challenges, but Hamdard Pakistan, under the leadership of its President Hamdard Group, Sadia Rashid is more than prepared to meet them. It has always been her desire to advance Hakim Said’s message of wellness. As a result, wellness is a cornerstone of Hamdard’s values and is embedded in all its activities including its corporate positioning i.e. “Aafiyat Se Jeetey Raho” to express its optimistic outlook.

(NewsNation) — The man who allegedly stabbed Salman Rushdie in the neck and abdomen has been charged with second-degree attempted murder and assault.
Hadi Matar, 24, of Fairview, New Jersey, was processed and transported to Chautauqua County Jail on Friday. Deadline reports he was remanded without bail, and that charges could be upgraded if Rushdie’s condition gets worse.
Authorities said Matar was born in the United States to Lebanese parents who emigrated from Yaroun, a border village in southern Lebanon, the mayor of the village, Ali Tehfe, told The Associated Press.
The stabbing happened at the Chautauqua Institution in Western New York, where Rushdie was set to give a lecture.
An Associated Press reporter witnessed a man storming the stage and begin attacking Rushdie as he was being introduced. The author was then taken or fell to the floor.
According to New York State Police, Rushdie was transported by helicopter to the hospital. His agent, Andrew Wylie, said the writer was on a ventilator Friday evening, with a damaged liver, severed nerves in his arm and an eye he was likely to lose.
Event moderator Henry Reese, 73, a co-founder of an organization that offers residencies to writers facing persecution, was also attacked. Reese suffered a facial injury and was treated and released from a hospital, police said. He and Rushdie had planned to discuss the United States as a refuge for writers and other artists in exile.
Rushdie’s book “The Satanic Verses” has been banned in Iran since 1988, as many Muslims consider it blasphemous. A year later, Iran’s late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdie’s death.
Khomeini died the same year he issued the fatwa, which remains in effect. Iran’s current supreme leader, Khamenei, never issued a fatwa of his own withdrawing the edict.
Iran’s government has long since distanced itself from Khomeini’s decree, but anti-Rushdie sentiment has lingered. In 2012, a semi-official Iranian religious foundation raised the bounty for Rushdie from $2.8 million to $3.3 million.
Rushdie dismissed that threat at the time, saying there was “no evidence” of people being interested in the reward. That year, Rushdie published a memoir, “Joseph Anton,” about the fatwa. The title came from the pseudonym Rushdie had used while in hiding.
The Chautauqua Institution, about 55 miles southwest of Buffalo in a rural corner of New York, is known for its summertime lecture series. Rushdie has spoken there before.
“Banfield” spoke Friday with Mona Kolko, an eyewitness to the incident.
“People were horrified. It went from the noise of applause, 2,000 people clapping to people shouting, people hollering, people crying. Stunned. Shocked. What is going on here? What happened here? He is hurt. Something terrible is going on, and we are witnessing this horrible moment,” Kolko said.

From moles changing to a heart bypass – Dr Jeff answers your health questions
DR JEFF FOSTER is The Sun on Sunday’s new resident doctor and is here to help YOU.
Dr Jeff, 43, splits his time between working as a GP in Leamington Spa, Warks, and running his clinic, H3 Health, which is the first of its kind in the UK to look at hormonal issues for both men and women. See h3health.co.uk.
Q) I AM a 47-year-old sales manager and during lockdown I noticed one of my moles had changed slightly.
I didn’t want to bother my GP, though.
But in April I knocked the head off it. It didn’t bleed but it grew back and is now black rather than brown and a funny texture.
I think it’s skin cancer and I’m terrified as I’m married and have two young children.
I’m so worried. What should I do?
Jack Marsh, Windsor
A) Small moles and blemishes are quite common and tend to occur more with age.
However, the most worrisome skin cancer, melanoma, accounts for only four per cent of all skin cancers.
Most read in The Scottish Sun
Many of us who have been exposed to sun damage may develop non-cancerous skin problems such as seborrheic warts, which can often be picked off and bleed but are not cancerous or sinister.
In general, the vast majority of abnormal moles and skin problems we see are benign.
But we always advise that if a mole bleeds, changes colour or shape, becomes itchy, or you are just not sure, see your doctor.
Even if it does turn out to be cancerous, most are curable if caught early.
Q) I AM due to go into hospital soon to have a heart bypass.
I have been told I have a leaky aorta valve.
They have tried keyhole surgery but it hasn’t worked.
At my age, 85, is it worth me having this done?
Apart from getting out of breath going upstairs I don’t feel too bad.
Your advice would be most welcome.
RF Walker, Hampshire
A) There are some principles that apply in virtually all cases of cardio-thoracic surgery.
A leaky heart valve means that when the heart pumps blood around the body, not all of it is being ejected properly from the heart with each pump.
For most, in the early stages of valve disease, there may be no symptoms as the heart simply has to pump a bit harder to get the same amount of blood out.
However, as the valve becomes less effective, symptoms include ankle swelling, shortness of breath and heart failure.
If left untreated, heart failure can lead to sudden cardiac arrest and death.
Surgeons will only consider cardiothoracic surgery if they feel the risks of not treating are more serious than the risk of the operation itself. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/health/9301358/dr-jeff-questions-skin-moles/ | 2022-08-13T21:35:04Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/health/9301358/dr-jeff-questions-skin-moles/ | false | 4 |
Report: Manchester United And Arsenal Considering Move For Villarreal Winger
Manchester United and Arsenal are considering making a move for a Villareal winger, according to a report.
Manchester United and Arsenal are considering making a move for a Villareal winger, according to a report.
The Red Devils have been in the market for forwards this summer but have not managed to make any their own yet; signing two defenders and a midfielder.
Following the departures of players like Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard, as well as the situation with Cristiano Ronaldo unclear, it seems adding one to the squad would be wise.
AFC Ajax star Antony is one wide player who was seemingly high on the list earlier in the transfer window, but it seems a move was priced out.
A new name on the list of rumoured targets is Yeremy Pino. According to the Spanish outlet ABC Deportes (Via UtdPlug ), the 19-year-old would be available for a fee between 40 and 50million Euros. The report states that the most interested clubs are English - namely United and Arsenal.
The Spaniard played 40 games in all competitions last season, mainly playing on the right. In that time, he scored seven goals and made four assists.
Authors Verdict
United are in need of a forward player but already have a few young wingers such as Amad Diallo, Facundo Pellistri and Anthony Elanga, which is why a potential deal could seem strange.
However, Pino clearly has a lot of talent to be playing regularly at the top level as a teenager, so would be a good addition to the squad regardless.

Britain's Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is 22 percentage points ahead of her rival Rishi Sunak in the contest to become the country's next prime minister, a poll of Conservative Party members by Opinium Research showed on Saturday.
Among a sample of 450 party members who had decided how they would vote in the ongoing leadership election put Truss, who other polls have also shown to be the clear frontrunner, on 61%, with former finance minister Sunak on 39%, Opinium said.
The roughly 200,000 members of the ruling Conservatives are voting to decide on a replacement for Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who after a series of scandals and a parliamentary rebellion said in July he would step down once the party chooses a replacement.
The overall sample size, including those who did not express a voting preference, was 570. Less than a third of them, 29%, said they had already voted and a further 47% said they had made up their mind. Only 19% said they might still change their mind.
The leadership vote is taking place by postal ballot, with a winner due to be announced on Sept. 5. The poll was conducted between Aug. 8 and Aug. 12.
The poll shows that the top three reasons for supporting Truss were a dislike of Sunak, the perception that she was more trustworthy, and that she had remained loyal to Johnson. Sunak's resignation helped trigger Johnson's downfall.
Sunak supporters said he was better on the economy and the most competent or intelligent of the two candidates.
The pollster said they had observed 'Johnson nostalgia' among party members, pointing a finding that 63% would rather Johnson remained in charge rather than Truss take over. The preference for Johnson over Sunak was even stronger at 68%.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — With National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day on the horizon, an Austin mom is joining families around the country in asking federal lawmakers to do more.
Carilu Bell lost her son, Casey Copeland, to fentanyl poisoning less than a year ago. Bell has used her story to connect with other victims’ families and to advocate for more education locally.
“He took what he thought was a Valium and it was fentanyl,” Bell said. “I found him in his condo the following day. It’s been very devastating as you can imagine, and even more devastating that people are continuing to die every day.”
Around the country, people will be hosting awareness events on Sunday, Aug. 21 to honor National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. In Austin, a walk hosted by Bell is happening at 10 a.m. starting at 1900 Barton Springs Road. Bell is encouraging people to come out and get connected.
“I meet people every day that have heard of fentanyl but they still don’t know to what extreme it’s having on our country and that it’s killing every day. So I have taken every opportunity to explain it to them,” Bell said.
She won’t be alone, she’s connected with family members of victims of fentanyl poisoning around the country — including Andrea Thomas, the co-founder of Facing Fentanyl, who lives in Colorado. Thomas lost her daughter to fentanyl four years ago.
“Many more people have died, will continue to die today. You can see the urgency that we have in getting our message out and asking for our federal government to address it,” Thomas said.
You can find a list of Facing Fentanyl events on its website.
Taking the effort national
Not only will groups around the country be hosting awareness walks, but they are also taking the message right to President Biden. The families will be meeting in Washington D.C. next month for the second annual Lost Voices of Fentanyl rally.
They are also sending a letter to President Biden asking him to do the following:
- Acknowledge illicit fentanyl is a national security issue
- Acknowledge that “transnational cartel criminals are initiating these wrongful fentanyl poisonings”
- And declare a national emergency
“We want to know why this national security crisis and health crisis, humanitarian crisis at this point, is not being addressed,” said Thomas.
During a Senate committee meeting on drugs earlier this year, Dr. Rahul Gupta talked about the President’s drug control plan.
The remarks pointed to executive orders Biden signed that aim to stop the flow of illicit drugs from transnational criminal organizations and give the executive branch the ability to punish global illicit drug dealers financially.
“As families, as parents, we’re not able to work at that level,” Thomas said. “So we are spreading the prevention and awareness. We need the federal government to step up to the plate for the safety of Americans.” | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/latest/devastating-austin-mom-joins-effort-asking-biden-to-do-more-about-fentanyl/ | 2022-08-13T21:55:42Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/latest/devastating-austin-mom-joins-effort-asking-biden-to-do-more-about-fentanyl/ | false | 14 |
Struggle Flash Ezra Miller Tripped Up By Law Enforcement For Allegedly Stealing Alcohol
Ezra Miller currently plays the superhero The Flash in the floundering DCEU and is out here doing his best impression of being a DC supervillain in real life.
The “troubled” actor was up to no good once again, reportedly. In his latest string of bizarre criminal behavior, Ezra Miller was arrested and charged with felony burglary for allegedly stealing bottles of alcohol from a home in Stamford, Vermont.
Per Buzzfeed News :
Vermont State Police released information on Monday about the incident, which took place earlier this year. According to the police report , surveillance footage indicated that Miller stole alcohol from the home while the homeowners weren’t there. The victim notified police on May 1, but it wasn’t until Sunday that police could locate Miller and issue a citation to appear in court. They are scheduled to be arraigned on felony burglary into an unoccupied building on Sept. 26.
Ezra Miller Causing Trouble Around The Globe
Miller’s latest capers involved him terrorizing the local citizens of Hawaii. In March, the actor l unged at a male patron at a karaoke bar , stole a women’s microphone, and swore at other customers. According to Buzzfeed News, a month later, Miller pleaded no contest “to one count of disorderly conduct in an agreement for the harassment charge to be dismissed.”
In April, Miller threw a chair at a woman , hitting her on the forehead and giving her a half-inch cut after he was told to leave a party.
Hawaii Police Assistant Chief Kenneth Quiocho told local news affiliate KITV that at least 10 calls were made by locals to law enforcement about Miller at the time.
The Fantastic Beasts actor wasn’t done. He took his villainy across the globe to Iceland and Germany as well.
Despite all of his antics, his standalone Flash movie and other projects are still going forward, with Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav saying during an earnings call he’s “very excited” for them.
While this troublesome nincompoop gets to see his movie drop, a completed Batgirl project starring Leslie Grace was thrown in the trash to “save the company money.”

Troubling questions unresolved in latest end to Till case
For activists and relatives of Till, new revelations raise questions about whether Carolyn Bryant Donham, now 88, is still being protected despite what they see as new evidence against her.
By her own telling, Mississippi authorities provided Carolyn Bryant Donham with preferential treatment rather than prosecution after her encounter with Emmett Till led to the lynching of the Black teenager in the summer of 1955.
Instead of arresting Donham on a warrant that accused her of kidnapping days after Till’s abduction, an officer passed along word that relatives would take her and her two young sons away from home amid a rising furor over the case, Donham said in a 2008 memoir made public last month. The sheriff would later claim Donham, 21 at the time, could not be located for arrest.
Once her husband and his half-brother were jailed on murder charges in Till’s death, she said in the unpublished manuscript, two men with the sheriff’s office drove her and her sister-in-law to the lockup for a relaxed visit outside their cell and even ferried the women back home. Later, before their murder trial, the men somehow were allowed to attend a family dinner without guards, she said.
“I was shocked! How in the world were they released from jail to come to eat supper with us? I didn’t see who dropped them off or picked them up to return them to jail, but we had a wonderful evening together,” Donham recalled in the memoir, written by her daughter-in-law based on the older woman’s words.
Nearly 70 years later, Donham’s retelling of the days surrounding Till’s abduction and lynching stokes fresh frustration among relatives of Till and activists pushing for Donham’s prosecution, particularly now that a Mississippi grand jury has decided against charging her with kidnapping in his abduction or manslaughter in his death.
For them, the revelations also raise questions about whether Donham, now 88, is still being protected despite what they see as new evidence against her.
Carolyn Donham has rarely commented publicly on the Till case, and she has not said anything publicly about the recent decision against new charges. That’s why her memoir — made public by a historian who said he obtained it during an interview years ago — created such a stir when it was released a few weeks ago. The decision not to indict her followed media reports with details of the document, but it’s unclear whether grand jurors considered contents of the autobiography.
In the 99-page memoir, Donham said Till, 14 and visiting relatives in Mississippi from Chicago, walked into the family-owned store where she was minding the counter on Aug. 24, 1955. Neither husband Roy Bryant nor his half-brother, J.W. Milam, were around that day — it was just her and Till, who also went by the family nickname of “Bobo.”
In the account, Donham repeats her testimony from the murder trial that Till grabbed her and made lewd comments. He also whistled, she said, in the only part of her story backed up by Till cousin and witness Wheeler Parker Jr. during an interview with The Associated Press.
Evidence indicated Till was abducted at gunpoint days later by two armed white men, and a woman likely identified the youth for them. While Donham denied in the memoir identifying Till and says she instead tried to help him, she was named in a kidnapping warrant along with Bryant and Milam. Donham was never arrested, despite police knowing where she was located at least part of the time.
For a period, Donham said, she was spirited away with the knowledge of officers and “shuffled” between homes by the Bryant family. Then, with Donham in the courtroom, the two men were tried and acquitted in Till’s murder. The kidnapping charges were dropped later, and no one has been charged or tried since.
Following their acquittal, Bryant and Milam admitted to the abduction and killing in an interview with Look magazine.
In the memoir, Donham said she did not even know there was a warrant for her arrest until an FBI agent told her during a renewed probe decades later.
The warrant sat unknown and unseen in the basement of a Mississippi courthouse until June, when members of the Till family and others found it during a search. At the time of the killing, Donham wrote, “they didn’t even tell me there was a warrant.”
“I was never arrested or charged with anything,” she said.
The nagging question for some is, why not?
Keith Beauchamp, a filmmaker and activist who helped find the warrant, believes the decision against indicting Donham lies not with the grand jurors who voted against new charges but with a system that goes back generations.
Mississippi law enforcement, which was all-white at the time of the killing, allowed Donham to avoid justice in a misguided quest to protect “white womanhood,” he said, and that same veil is covering her now.
“Chivalrous impulse allowed this woman to go untouched for 67 years,” said Beauchamp, who released the documentary “The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till” in 2005 and helped write and produce the upcoming movie “Till,” a drama set to premiere in October.
But in announcing a Leflore County grand jury’s decision not to indict Donham, District Attorney Dewayne Richardson on Tuesday cited neither race nor womanhood or anything else but evidence. Members of the panel were presented with testimony from witnesses who told about the investigation of Till’s killing from 2004 until now, he said in a statement.
“After hearing more than seven hours of testimony from witnesses with direct knowledge about this case and the investigators that investigated this case, the Grand Jury determined that there was not sufficient evidence to indict Donham,” said Richardson, who is Black.
Members of the Till family weren’t pleased with the decision. Yet the Rev. Wheeler Parker of Chicago, a Till cousin who was with the youth the night he was abducted from a family home, sounded a conciliatory tone about the failure to obtain an indictment, a decision which he called “unfortunate, but predictable.”
“The state of Mississippi assured me and my family that they would leave no stone unturned in the fight for justice for my cousin, Emmett. They kept their promise by bringing this latest piece of evidence before the grand jury,” he said.
Expressing appreciation for the prosecutor’s efforts, Parker said one person alone “cannot undo hundreds of years of anti-Black systems that guaranteed those who killed Emmett Till would go unpunished, to this day.”
It’s unclear whether a grand jury will ever again hold the fate of Carolyn Donham in its hands.
At least three investigations have ended without charges in less than 20 years, including a Justice Department review that was closed without prosecution in December. Bryant and Milam died decades ago, and other associates believed by some to have been involved also are dead. Donham is the only person known to still face the risk of arrest.
The Till family and others have promised to keep pushing for someone to prosecute Donham, and additional witnesses could still be alive, said Dale Killinger, a retired FBI agent who investigated the Till case in a probe that ended without an indictment on a manslaughter charge in 2007.
“There’s still a possibility that there is other evidence out there,” Killinger said in an interview.
Perhaps, but it’s unclear whether anyone with a badge is looking for it. The Justice Department has not given any indication it would reopen the case, and the office of Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch cited the Justice Department’s decision in saying no prosecution was planned even before Richardson announced the grand jury had decided against charges.
In her memoir, Donham denied doing anything to get Till killed and expressed sorrow for his family’s pain. She portrayed herself as another victim of the horrible crime, as someone who quit trusting strangers and has been hounded by the media for decades.
For some, enough is enough.
“Donham may not have paid the price that some wanted her to pay, but she has suffered for what happened to Till. Anyone who claims otherwise is not being honest with themselves. It is time to let her be,” The Greenwood Commonwealth newspaper in Leflore County said in an editorial after the grand jury decision was announced.
To Ollie Gordon, another one of Till’s cousins, some justice may have been served even without anyone being convicted in the killing.
“Ms. Donham has not gone to jail. But in many ways, I don’t think she’s had a pleasant life. I think each day she wakes up, she has to face the atrocities that have come because of her actions,” Gordon said.

Janneke Schopman’s hands-on approach has gotten the best out of me: Jyoti
Jyoti, the forward of the Indian women’s hockey team, says head coach Janneke Schopman’s hands-on approach helped her make drastic improvements as she won a bronze medal in her Commonwealth Games debut.
The 22-year-old was part of the Indian women’s hockey team that returned to India after earning a memorable bronze medal at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, ending a 16-year medal drought at the quadrennial event.
“The players and coaching staff really helped me improve my game. Now I feel much more confident carrying the ball and my ball movement has improved dramatically,” she said in a Hockey India (HI) release. .
“The coaching staff has also given me a lot of confidence to try something different and creative on the field.”
About the influence of Schopman, Jyoti said: “Janneke helped me improve my game. She taught me how to make the game simple and easy for myself, I don’t think about the ball anymore and try to move it as fast as possible.
“Her hands-on approach during practice sessions bought out the best of my abilities.” Speaking of her first appearance at the megasport event, Jyoti said: “Commonwealth Games were especially important to me as this was my first appearance for the team at a multi-disciplinary event.
“Winning the bronze medal gave us a huge sense of pride and joy and is a real reward for everyone’s efforts associated with the team. The bronze medal certainly made this outing doubly special for me.” The women’s team claimed the bronze medal after a thrilling 2-1 shootout win over New Zealand after trailing 1-1 in regular time.
“My whole experience with the Games has been great. We won our matches against Ghana, Wales and Canada, but lost to England in the group stage. I also understood that losing and winning will always be an important part of any tournament,” she said.
“We weren’t favorites for a medal at the CWG 2022, but we managed to take the bronze medal despite all the external doubts. That’s why this achievement is so special because we have exceeded everyone’s expectations.”
“It’s an honor for me to be part of this Indian women’s hockey squad and I hope we keep improving so we can do even better at the next tournament.”

The educational attainment future of St. Joseph County
As a new school year approaches, I cannot help but reflect on the unfulfilled potential of Glen Oaks Community College in changing the lives of more of our community members. In this, our 55th year of service to the region, we are still serving a similar number of students as in 1967 when the college opened in the old White Pigeon High School. While enrollment has fluctuated over the years, the full potential for serving a larger number of students makes one yearn for a greater impact. Why? Because when we serve students, we change lives for the better, and they and their families have better lives in all aspects, not just their professions and work.
I am not writing this to elicit additional enrollment for the sake of the college but with a sincere desire to improve the economic and social futures of our community members. I have written similar pieces before that have provided the data that supports the value of a college education, so I will not repeat all the data here. Suffice it to say that the more post-high school education a person has, the greater income, financial stability and socioeconomic status he or she has.
The 2020 census data concerning St. Joseph County, reported in 2022, provides rich data across many facets of the region’s status. The area I am reporting on here deals with educational attainment and income. The chart below depicts the educational level of all county citizens 25 and older. As you can see, we have a very high number of individuals with some college, but no degree, 23.53%, with 20.80 % holding an associate degree, 10.11% a bachelor’s, and 5.9% a graduate degree. The total of citizens with some college or more is 50.30%, which would seem to be significant. But when you remove those with only some college, the total is 26.80%.
Education Attained Count Percentage
Less Than 9th Grade 2,604 6.36%
9th to 12th Grade 2,908 7.11%
High School Graduate 14,799 36.16%
Some College 9,631 23.53%
Associates Degree 4,419 10.80%
Bachelor’s Degree 4,139 10.11%
Graduate Degree 2,424 5.92%
As many will note, the governor’s goal for the state is 60 by 30, meaning 60% of working age adults will hold a certificate or degree by 2030. The data I sited above on St. Joseph County does not discern the difference between some colleges and a certificate. This is because it is only recently that a certificate that prepares one to go directly to a high-wage position such as a computer technician has not been called out in data mining. Setting this aside for the sake of this refrain, I would suggest that a significant percentage of the "some college" individuals in SJC data, do not hold a certificate that has prepared them for successful entry into a life-sustaining wage.
Let’s look at the poverty levels of SCJ adults to discern what the impact of a post-high school education has on a person’s economic life. The data presented below show the percentage of working-age adults in SJC who are poor. As you can see, the less education one has, the greater the likelihood of being in poverty. These data reflect the poverty rates of the various education levels within the overall poverty rate in the country. The overall poverty rate for SJC is 14.35%.
Name Poverty
Less Than 9th Grade 23.42%
High School 12.46%
Some College 8.56%
Bachelors or Greater 3.99%
I believe that the greatest challenge we have in raising the income levels of SJC citizens is the large percentage of working-age adults with some college but no certificate or degree. Glen Oaks may well be adding to this problem by enrolling large numbers of high school students in dual enrollment and then not seeing them matriculate on the GOCC or another test after completing high school. Over the past decade, the college has enrolled hundreds of high school students in general education and CTE courses, granting thousands of hours of college credit. While many do return to GOCC or take their credit and transfer on, there is a large percentage that enter into their work lives without the credentials that would help them garner great income and satisfaction. There are special state of Michigan programs that can help adults return to college for free or nearly so. Below are two such programs.
The Michigan Reconnect program will help pay the cost of tuition or training for eligible adults who want to pursue an associate degree or skills certificate at their in-district community college.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hundreds of Nicaraguans attended a Mass under a heavy police presence Saturday after the government prohibited a religious procession in the capital amid tensions with the Roman Catholic Church.
Church leaders announced a day earlier that the National Police had banned the planned procession for Our Lady of Fatima for reasons of “internal security.” Instead, the church called the faithful to come peacefully to the cathedral.
On Saturday, Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes said they gathered “with a lot of happiness, but also with a lot of sadness” due to “the situation we have lived in our parishes.”
“Forgive them Lord, because they know not what they do,” Brenes said.
Earlier this month, the government of President Daniel Ortega closed seven radio stations owned by the church and announced an investigation of Bishop Rolando Álvarez, who has been confined to the church’s compound in Matagalpa by police for nearly two weeks.
The government acuses Álvarez, a vocal government critic, of promoting hate and inciting violence.
Before confining Álvarez, police had encircled a priest in Sebaco, also part of the Matagalpa diocese, for several days before eventually allowing him to leave.
On Saturday, a representative from the Matagalpa diocese presented Brenes with an image of the Lady of Fatima.
On Friday, the Vatican spoke out publicly for the first time about the recent moves against the church in Nicaragua.
The Vatican’s permanent observer to the Organization of American States expressed concern during a special session of the body’s permanent council. Monsignor Juan Antonio Cruz called for “finding paths of understanding based on reciprocal respect and trust, looking above all for the common good and peace.”
During the session, 27 countries approved a resolution condemning “the forced closure of nongovernmental organizations and the harrassment and arbitrary restrictions placed on religious organizations” in Nicaragua. There was one vote against and four abstentions.
Police have not allowed large public gatherings, except those sponsored by the government or the ruling Sandinista National Liberation Front party, since September 2018. Earlier that year, in April, huge street protests became a call for Ortega to step down.
Ortega has maintained that it was a coup attempt carried out with foreign backing and the support of the church. Since then his government has moved against voices of dissent, including political opposition leaders and more than 1,000 nongovernmental organizations. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Nicaraguans-celebrate-Mass-peacefully-after-17371846.php | 2022-08-13T22:38:19Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Nicaraguans-celebrate-Mass-peacefully-after-17371846.php | false | 15 |
The family of Army Spc. Vanessa Guillén, who disappeared from Fort Hood, Texas, in 2020 and was later found dead, filed a case Friday seeking $35 million in damages from the Department of the Army, according to a court filing and Natalie Khawam, attorney for Guillén's family.
The case claims that from October 1, 2019, to April 22, 2020, "Guillén suffered mental anguish, fear, emotional distress, physical injury, and death as a result of sexual harassment, rape, sodomy, and physical assault." The family is seeking $10 million in Guillén's wrongful death and $25 million in personal injury claims.
"Historically you couldn't sue the DOD if you're a victim of sexual harassment/assault due to the DOD's broad misapplication of the Feres Doctrine, a 1950's Supreme Court decision that never included or addressed sexual assault, yet the DOD continued to use that case to evade accountability," Khawam told CNN. "This week the 9th Circuit held that sexual assault is not incident to service, and therefore the Feres Doctrine should not apply to service members who are sexually assaulted."
"Our service members deserve the same rights and protections we all have. They have been denied these basic protections for too long. They signed up to take a bullet for our country, not to be sexually assaulted while serving. The 9th Circuit's ruling is a major step in seeking Justice for Vanessa, and all victims of sexual assault," she added.
When asked for comment Saturday, U.S. Army Sgt. Pablo Saez said, "As a matter of policy, the Army does not comment on ongoing litigation."
Guillén's death sparked national attention not only because she was allegedly killed by another soldier at Fort Hood, but because the perpetrator took her body to another location miles away, and it was not discovered for more than two months. Guillén, 20, went missing in April 2020 and after last being seen in the parking lot of her barracks at Fort Hood, according to the US Army Criminal Investigation Command, before her remains were found June 30 of that year.
The case brought outrage at the Army's failure to fully deal initially with the sexual harassment she reported experiencing and its lack of attention to her case once she went missing.
A report following the Army's fact-finding investigation into the case indicates that Guillén reported that she was sexually harassed on at least two occasions, but her supervisor failed to report it and other leaders failed to take appropriate action. The report found no evidence that she was harassed by Spc. Aaron Robinson, her alleged murderer.
Robinson allegedly murdered Guillén by bludgeoning her to death with a hammer at the armory where she worked. The report also reveals that Army personnel tried to detain Robinson in a room on base by telling him he had violated Covid-19 restrictions but that he simply escaped. He later died by suicide as law enforcement was trying to detain him.

PHOENIX (AP) — Police arrested three Arizona parents, shocking two of them with stun guns, as they tried to force their way into a school that police locked down Friday after an armed man was seen trying to get on campus, authorities said.
The parents were arrested as they tried to get to their children to protect them, authorities said. Officers in the Phoenix suburb of El Mirage used a Taser to stop two of them as they tried to help a man whose own handgun fell to the ground while he was being taken into custody, authorities said.
The scene at Thompson Ranch Elementary School developed nearly three months after hundreds of law enforcement officers in the small Texas city of Uvalde failed to act for nearly an hour as a gunman killed two teachers and 19 students.
No shots were fired at Thompson Ranch, the school wasn't breached and no one was hurt, other than a woman taken to a hospital with Taser injuries from officers who say they were trying to stop her from attacking them.
By the time the confrontations with the upset parents began, police had already confirmed that there was no longer a threat, removed a suspicious package and were planning to begin reuniting parents with the children, El Mirage police Lt. Jimmy Chavez said.
But the school was still on lockdown, meaning no one would be allowed on campus, according to the protocols police and the school district have set up. That's when upset parents demanded to be allowed into the school so they could find their children and began confronting police, authorities said.
“Several parents continued with their agitation, made several statements that they were going to come on campus to help protect their kids,” Chavez said. “As a parent I understand that philosophy. However, there are procedures that law enforcement and the school were following.”
Chavez said a man began pushing to get past officers and as police were arresting him, a man and a woman who had also been confronting officers came to his aid. Officers used a Taser to subdue them and they too were arrested. As the first man was being taken into custody, a gun fell to the ground.
The armed parent will face a weapons charge — guns are not allowed on school grounds — and a disorderly conduct charge. The two parents who were stunned with the Taser will face unspecified charges. The woman was taken by ambulance to a hospital, Chavez said. None were immediately identified.
The incident began at about 10:30 a.m. Friday when school officials called police to report that a man, possibly armed with a gun, was trying to get into a locked school building. He could not get in and was chased off by staff before police from El Mirage and two other agencies arrived at the school, Chavez said.
Officers searching the school to ensure it was safe found a suspicious package and called a bomb squad, Chavez said, and moved some children to another part of the campus.
That's when parents began arriving and the confrontations with officers began, with parents "forcefully pushing on the officers trying to get on to campus."
“The parents need to understand that when the school is on lockdown and law enforcement is on scene, nobody is going to be allowed on campus,” Chavez said.
Chavez said the school lockdown procedures between the school district and law enforced “worked to a T.”
Police later located the man who had triggered the lockdown. He was being evaluated late Friday by mental health professionals and a police statement said charges were pending.,
Efforts to reach El Mirage Police Saturday to get additional information were not immediately successful. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Arizona-parents-arrested-trying-to-get-to-17371911.php | 2022-08-13T22:43:48Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Arizona-parents-arrested-trying-to-get-to-17371911.php | true | 23 |
Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy will leave the Principals' Athletic Conference
After spending the past 21 years with the Principals’ Athletic Conference, Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy has announced it will say goodbye.
CVCA president Jason Spodnik submitted a letter of withdrawal earlier this month to begin the two-year transition on July 1, 2022, as stated by the PAC-7 bylaws.
The Royals are not requesting an early release, which leads to a maximum three-year transition. That means the 2024-25 school year will be the last for season for CVCA as a member of the PAC-7.
Top-shelf Talent:CVCA's Darryn Peterson is drawing some attention from the greatest college basketball programs in the country.
A hero and a talent:Braden Hahlen overcomes nearly tragic accident, is inspiration to CVCA teammates.
The conference was formed in 1989 and has been the athletic home for high schools in Stark, Summit, Tuscarawas and Wayne counties.
Along with CVCA, the conference includes Canton South, Fairless, Manchester, Northwest, Orrville, Triway and Tuslaw high schools.
CVCA is the only private school to have been involved with the PAC-7, having joined in 2001.
“There were two reasons,” CVCA Athletic Director Jon Young said. “One, geographically, the distance was a challenge for us. The second reason was size. CVCA was the one of the bigger schools. Those factors were big for us in trying to figure out what we wanted to do moving forward.
“It was a very tough decision. We’re very grateful to the PAC and the relationships we’ve formed with the schools over the years. They took a chance on us 21 years ago being a private school. We were kind of an oddball. We wish those schools the best of luck moving forward. We’re excited what the future holds for them and for CVCA as well.”
What is the next step for the Royals?
The three-year cushion will be crucial for the Royals, who don’t have a conference after 2024-25.
The Portage Trail Conference, Suburban League, Metro Athletic Conference would make sense logistically but talk of joining any of those leagues is well down the road.
“Obviously, our desire is not to be independent,” Young said. “We don’t have anywhere to land quite yet. Our options are open. We’re going to evaluate what’s out there and see what’s next.
“In a perfect world, we’d have it wrapped up sooner rather than later. We understand that these things take time. In my perfect world, we’d have this wrapped up in the next school year. We realize that may not be reality.”
What's the next step for the Principals' Athletic Conference?
The request was accepted and administrators from the conference schools will meet later this fall to discuss the next steps for the league.
“The league appreciates the long relationship the PAC-7 has had with CVCA over the last two decades,” PAC commissioner Gary Woods said in a press release. “We understand their request and wish them well during and after the transition. The PAC-7 schools will continue to compete and utilize our competitive relationships for the betterment of our student-athletes.
“CVCA certainly added to the level of competition in the conference. Moving forward, the league will continue building on the health of our programs, providing fair and spirited opportunities for our schools, students and fans.”

The “queen of Canada” led supporters to Peterborough’s police station on Saturday, calling for the “citizen’s arrest” of local officers.
Instead, two of her supporters were arrested.
Romana Didulo is a B.C. resident who claims to be an alien being with higher powers, and insists she is the ruler of Canada and, more recently, the world.
“I am the head of state, commander in chief and head of government and queen of Canada replacing Queen Elizabeth II of England who has now been executed for crimes against humanity,” Didulo said in a September YouTube video.
She has supporters across the country, including in Peterborough, where Frank Curtin organized Saturday’s event.
He promoted it with a written statement from Didulo calling on “armed forces, special forces, black ops and special ops” to come to Peterborough to assist in the arrests of police over COVID-19 measures.
Police emerged from the building shortly after 4 p.m. and started taking people into custody, tussling with some of the participants. Some of the protesters shouted “shame” and hurled obscenities, with others trying to intervene.
This took place in a restricted parking area behind the station.
City police later reported via Twitter that two people had been arrested, with the investigation ongoing. Police ask anyone with video to either send a link to aru@peterborough.ca or to call 705-876-1122 ext. 555 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or at http://stopcrimehere.ca.
Although no names were released, one of the many social media videos shot and shared at the scene by Didulo’s followers shows Curtin being dragged into the station by police, his camouflage T-shirt coming off in the process.
Videos also show a second man being taken inside.
Earlier Saturday, people started to gather over the noon hour before Curtin addressed the crowd, calling for peace and calm. As more people gathered around 1 p.m., Curtin told the crowd to wait for the military to arrive.
He then led the way to the police station door, only to find it locked.
One man with Curtin suggested knocking out a counter-protester to get the police’s attention, adding “I’m joking!”
That counter-protester was a person wearing an orange medical mask and carrying a sign reading “Vaccines Save Lives.” He chanted the slogan repeatedly, along with “Hail Satan.”
At one point, when members of the group gathered at Confederation Square, the counter-protester was confronted and told to leave. One of Didulo’s supporters then grabbed and tore the sign.
Didulo has called on her supporters to kill people promoting vaccines for children.
She and her supporters also recommend not paying bills and serve “cease and desist” orders on police, pharmacists and health workers over health mandates.
Many of Didulo’s ideas come from QAnon, a U.S. conspiracy movement whose followers believe in an organized child trafficking network led by Democrats, and that Donald Trump is their saviour.
By mid-afternoon the group continued to gather at the main entrance of the station at Water and McDonnel streets. A smaller group stood at a rear entrance.
Didulo herself arrived in an RV with her photograph on the side, accompanied by a black sedan with a faux presidential seal and several people wearing white hats, pants and jackets.
Didulo stepped out briefly to hand out bottled water and plates of food to supporters.
The gathering attracted onlookers not associated with Curtin or Didulo, including people lining the sidwalks and nearby residents sitting on their porches and front steps to watch the events unfold.
A smaller group of protesters remained on the scene into the evening, as did Didulo’s RV.
“Peterborough Police is still monitoring protesters at the station,” the police service stated via Twitter just after 6 p.m.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Los Angeles Police Department has ended its investigation into Anne Heche’s car accident, when the actor crashed into a Los Angeles home on Aug. 5.
Heche is brain dead and on life support, pending evaluation for organ donation.
“As of today, there will be no further investigative efforts made in this case,” the department announced Friday. “Any information or records that have been requested prior to this turn of events will still be collected as they arrive as a matter of formalities and included in the overall case. When a person suspected of a crime expires, we do not present for filing consideration.”
Detectives looking into the crash had said narcotics were found in a blood sample taken from Heche, 53. She has been hospitalized at a Los Angeles burn center. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/entertainment-news-news/lapd-ends-investigation-into-anne-heche-car-crash/ | 2022-08-13T22:58:37Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/entertainment-news-news/lapd-ends-investigation-into-anne-heche-car-crash/ | false | 28 |
CLEVELAND (AP) — Jacoby Brissett has jumped ahead of Deshaun Watson on Cleveland’s depth chart. Maybe for a while.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Brissett will take the majority of snaps with Cleveland’s first-team offense starting Sunday, a move necessitated by Watson’s pending suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy for sexual misconduct allegations.
Watson, who made his debut with the Browns by starting Friday’s exhibition win over Jacksonville, has been the No. 1 quarterback throughout training camp.
But he’s going to miss at least the first six regular-season games — and potentially more — so the Browns need to get Brissett ready for the Sept. 11 opener at Carolina.
“That has been the plan really from the beginning is just to at some point let Jacoby get the majority of them, still work Deshaun, still work Josh Dobbs and still work Josh Rosen,” Stefanski said, referring to Cleveland’s four QBs during a Zoom call with reporters.
Watson’s situation remains in flux.
His six-game suspension handed down by independent arbiter Sue L. Robinson was appealed by the NFL and is being decided by Peter C. Harvey, a former New Jersey Attorney General appointed by Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Harvey’s ruling could come at any time and there’s still the possibility Watson and the league could agree to a settlement.
On Thursday, a person familiar with Watson’s defense told the AP the three-time Pro Bowler would accept an eight-game suspension and $5 million fine. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
Before Friday’s game, Watson’s first in nearly 600 days, he apologized for the first time since two dozen women filed lawsuits against him alleging sexual harassment and assault during massage therapy sessions while he played for Houston.
“I’m truly sorry to all of the women that I have impacted,” Watson said.
In her ruling, Robinson noted Watson’s lack of remorse played a factor in her decision to suspend him.
Stefanski said the apology was a good step for Watson.
“I just think Deshaun has been very committed to being the best version of himself,” Stefanski said. “That is off the field and that is on the field, obviously when he is in this building, but more so I do think he wants to learn and grow as a person. That is important.”
In the meantime, the Browns need to get ready for the season.
Brissett was signed in March by the Browns, who viewed him as a perfect plug-in while Watson is sidelined. The 29-year-old Brissett has made 37 career starts and been thrown into unique situations, including in 2019 when he became Indianapolis’ starter following Andrew Luck’s stunning retirement.
The Browns didn’t play Brissett against the Jaguars to avoid the risk of an injury and to get Watson back into the flow of a game. Now, it’s time for Brissett to get more time with Cleveland’s starters.
Stefanski has been pleased with the team’s plan to this point.
“Jacoby has gotten a lot of reps to date. I go back to the nine-week offseason program and the weeks we have been together, he has gotten a ton of reps with the ones and with the twos,” he said. “Even the way we structure our routes versus air and individual period, he has gotten a lot of reps with the quote-unquote ones and the twos.
“He will keep on that same process and making sure he is running the show when he is in there. He does a nice job in the quarterback meeting room with those guys, so I just think this is also the natural progression for him moving forward.”
The Browns will practice twice this week against the Philadelphia Eagles before hosting them next Sunday in their first home exhibition.

How a ‘blunder’ led to arrest of robber behind year’s biggest burglary in Karachi
The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) of Sindh Police on Saturday arrested the robber who looted a builder’s house in Karachi – the haul of which made it the city’s biggest house robbery of the year so far.
It happened over three months ago in April at Muhammad Javed’s house located in posh Naval Housing Scheme.
The robber took away fortune-changing money, jewelry and even cheque books. According to SIU officials, they recovered local and foreign currency notes and jewelry worth a whopping Rs40.5 million from the suspect’s possession.
Suspect’s profile
SIU SSP Arif Aziz told SAMAA Digital that the prime suspect Sadiq was a certified pilot and served as a secretary at Association of Builders and Developers of Pakistan (ABAD) for many years.
However, what turned a certified pilot into a burglar was animosity towards his former colleague.
SSP Aziz said Sadiq was sacked from his job few years ago on alleged laptop theft. A case was also lodged against him at Clifton Police Station with Javed as plaintiff.
The incident brewed hatred and ignited the fire of vengeance in him against Javed.
SSP told that due to association of years, Sadiq knew that Javed goes to perform Umrah to Saudi Arabia with his family every year in the holy month of Ramazan.
And this year, he seized the opportunity.
The burglar barged into Javed’s house on April 25 (Ramazan 27). Since he had all the time in the world, he stayed there for two days and ransacked every nook and corner of the house.
On April 27, the suspect called a taxi to the same location and rode away in it with all the valuable stuff he had looted.
Javed learned about the robbery when he returned to Pakistan on May 9.
The ‘blunder’
Although the police were busy looking for the robbers for over three months, a blunder by Sadiq cut the frills for the police.
The suspect robbed some cheque books along with other stuff which had some signed cheques as well.
Just recently, he sent one of his confidante to the bank to cash a cheque of Rs250,000.
However, the bank administration already knew about the stolen cheque book. When the bank received one from the book, the administration immediately informed the police.
The police dashed to the bank and arrested the person who had come with the cheque.
During investigation with him, the police retrieved all information about Sadiq and carried out a raid in Karachi to apprehend him. | https://www.samaaenglish.tv/news/40014536/how-a-blunder-led-to-arrest-of-robber-behind-years-biggest-burglary-in-karachi | 2022-08-13T23:09:27Z | https://www.samaaenglish.tv/news/40014536/how-a-blunder-led-to-arrest-of-robber-behind-years-biggest-burglary-in-karachi | false | 1 |
Za'atar roasted chicken thighs with spuds and garlic recipe
Za’atar is a Levantine spice mix found across the Middle East and the top of Africa. A staple of Arab cuisine, the name is also a reference to the key ingredient, otherwise known as Syrian or Lebanese oregano.
Besides oregano, za’atar is usually made up of sumac, sesame seeds and salt, although it changes depending on where you are.
Keep an eye out for it - Alexandra’s is the brand I use, it is excellent. As a seasoning, it is fairly versatile, besides what you see below, it is a very good spice rub for white fish before a quick roast or pan fry.

(AP) — Salman Rushdie remained hospitalized Saturday after suffering serious injuries in a stabbing attack as praise poured in for him from the West but he was disparaged in Iran. Rushdie, 75, suffered a damaged liver, severed nerves in an arm and an eye, and was on a ventilator, his agent Andrew Wylie said Friday evening. Rushdie was likely to lose the injured eye. Police identified the suspect as Hadi Matar, 24. He was arrested after the attack at the Chautauqua Institution, a nonprofit education and retreat center where Rushdie was scheduled to speak. Matar, of Fairview, New Jersey, was born in the United States to Lebanese parents who emigrated from Yaroun, a border village in southern Lebanon, Mayor Ali Tehfe told The Associated Press. Rushdie’s novel “The Satanic Verses” drew death threats after it was published in 1988. It was viewed as blasphemous by many Muslims who saw a character as an insult to the Prophet Muhammad, among other objections. The book was banned in Iran where the late leader Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a 1989 fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdie’s death. Police said the motive for the Friday attack was unclear. Matar was born a decade after “The Satanic Verses” first was published. Investigators were working to determine whether the assailant acted alone. Iran’s theocratic government and its state-run media assigned no rationale for the assault. In Tehran, some Iranians interviewed by the AP praised the attack on an author they believe tarnished the Islamic faith, while others worried it would further isolate their country. An AP reporter witnessed the attacker confront Rushdie on stage and stab or punch him 10 to 15 times as the author was being introduced. Dr. Martin Haskell, a physician who was among those who rushed to help, described Rushdie’s wounds as “serious but recoverable.” READ MORE: Author Salman Rushdie attacked as he takes lecture stage in New York Event moderator Henry Reese, 73, a co-founder of an organization that offers residencies to writers facing persecution, was also attacked. Reese suffered a facial injury and was treated and released from a hospital, police said. He and Rushdie had planned to discuss the United States as a refuge for writers and other artists in exile. A state trooper and a county sheriff’s deputy were assigned to Rushdie’s lecture, and state police said the trooper made the arrest. But after the attack, some longtime visitors to the center questioned why there wasn’t tighter security for the event, given the decades of threats against Rushdie and a bounty on his head offering more than $3 million to anyone who killed him. Matar, like other visitors, had obtained a pass to enter the Chautauqua Institution’s 750-acre grounds, Michael Hill, the institution’s president, said. The suspect’s attorney, public defender Nathaniel Barone, said he was still gathering information and declined to comment. Matar’s home was blocked off by authorities. Rabbi Charles Savenor was among the roughly 2,500 people in the audience for Rushdie’s appearance. The assailant ran onto the platform “and started pounding on Mr. Rushdie. At first you’re like, ‘What’s going on?’ And then it became abundantly clear in a few seconds that he was being beaten,” Savenor said. He said the attack lasted about 20 seconds. Another spectator, Kathleen James, said the attacker was dressed in black, with a black mask. Amid gasps, spectators were ushered out of the outdoor amphitheater. The stabbing reverberated from the tranquil town of Chautauqua to the United Nations, which issued a statement expressing U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ horror and stressing that free expression and opinion should not be met with violence. Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday’s attack, which led an evening news bulletin on Iranian state television. From the White House, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan described the attack as “reprehensible” and said the Biden administration wished Rushdie a quick recovery. Rushdie has been a prominent spokesman for free expression and liberal causes, and the literary world recoiled at what Ian McEwan, a novelist and Rushdie’s friend, described as “an assault on freedom of thought and speech.” “Salman has been an inspirational defender of persecuted writers and journalists across the world,” McEwan said in a statement. “He is a fiery and generous spirit, a man of immense talent and courage and he will not be deterred.” After the publication of “The Satanic Verses,” often-violent protests erupted across the Muslim world against Rushdie, who was born in India to a Muslim family. At least 45 people were killed in riots over the book, including 12 people in Rushdie’s hometown of Mumbai. In 1991, a Japanese translator of the book was stabbed to death and an Italian translator survived a knife attack. In 1993, the book’s Norwegian publisher was shot three times and survived. Khomeini died the same year he issued the fatwa calling for Rushdie’s death. Iran’s current supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, never issued a fatwa of his own withdrawing the edict, though Iran in recent years hasn’t focused on the writer. The death threats and bounty led Rushdie to go into hiding under a British government protection program, which included a round-the-clock armed guard. Rushdie emerged after nine years of seclusion and cautiously resumed more public appearances, maintaining his outspoken criticism of religious extremism overall. In 2012, Rushdie published a memoir, “Joseph Anton,” about the fatwa. The title came from the pseudonym Rushdie used while in hiding. He said during a New York talk the same year the memoir came out that terrorism was really the art of fear. “The only way you can defeat it is by deciding not to be afraid,” he said. Rushdie rose to prominence with his Booker Prize-winning 1981 novel “Midnight’s Children,” but his name became known around the world after “The Satanic Verses.” WATCH: Salman Rushdie on the nature of fiction The Chautauqua Institution, about 55 miles (89 kilometers) southwest of Buffalo in a rural corner of New York, has served for more than a century as a place for reflection and spiritual guidance.

The center is known for its summertime lecture series, where Rushdie has spoken before.

Blinken heads to Congo after stop in South Africa
KINSHASA, Congo — (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Congo’s capital, Kinshasa, Tuesday to continue his three-nation tour of Africa.
In Congo, he will meet with government leaders and civil society groups during his two-day visit to discuss partnerships for regional security, human rights issues, environmental conservation, climate change and bilateral trade and investment, according to the U.S. Department of State.
Blinken is expected to encourage solutions to the violence in eastern Congo where attacks have increased dramatically in the past month, with the resurgence of the M23 rebel group and ongoing violence by the many militia groups vying for control of the mineral-rich region.
The increased insecurity in eastern Congo has sparked deadly protests against the U.N. peacekeeping force there. Security has worsened in eastern Congo despite a year of emergency operations by the armies of Congo and Uganda. Civilians in the east have also faced violence from jihadi rebels linked to the Islamic State group. More than 200,000 people have been displaced by recent fighting between Congolese troops and the M23 rebels.
Congo has accused Rwanda of supporting the M23 rebels.
Blinken will travel later Wednesday to Rwanda, which is rejecting a report by United Nations experts saying they have “solid evidence” that members of Rwanda’s armed forces are conducting operations in eastern Congo in support of the M23 rebel group.
Rwanda accuses Congo of collaborating with another rebel group, the FDLR, and said regional security can’t be achieved until that issue is addressed. The FDLR was created by ethnic Hutus who fled Rwanda during the country’s 1994 genocide that killed at least 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Congo has denied supporting the group.
Relations between Congo and its smaller neighbor Rwanda have been fraught for decades. Rwanda alleges that Congo gave refuge to Hutus who carried out the genocide. In the late 1990s, Rwanda twice sent its forces deep into Congo, joining forces with Congolese rebel leader Laurent Kabila to depose the country’s longtime dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.
A meeting between Rwandan President Paul Kagame and Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi in Angola on July 6 produced a statement calling for a return to normal diplomatic relations, a cessation of hostilities, and the “immediate and unconditional withdrawal” of the M23 from its positions in eastern Congo.
Earlier Tuesday Blinken met with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and International Relations Minister Naledi Pandor for brief talks and to mark the country’s Women’s Day holiday.
The cordial meeting did not mask the differences between the U.S. and South Africa over Russia’s war in Ukraine. South Africa has remained neutral on the war and refused to criticize Russia for its invasion of Ukraine or conduct in the conflict.
While in South Africa Blinken launched the United States’ new strategy for engaging with the countries of sub-Saharan Africa.
Outlining the strategy in a speech in Pretoria on Monday, he said it was rooted in recognizing sub-Saharan countries as equal partners and emphasized the region’s role as a “major geopolitical force.”
On his Africa tour, human rights groups have urged Blinken to promote free and fair elections, respect for human rights and anti-corruption efforts.
His visit to Africa is seen by many as part of the contest between the Western powers and Russia for influence in Africa amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

For the last 33 years, the world-renowned author Salman Rushdie has lived under threat because of his writing.
Rushdie was forced into hiding after the publication of his 1988 novel, The Satanic Verses. It took nearly a decade for Rushdie to become more vocal and visible — though he continued to write stories. Today, Rushdie is widely known for being a vocal defender of artistic expression.
On Friday, he was scheduled to speak on that matter at the Chautauqua Institution in western New York when a 24-year-old man went on stage and stabbed the author in his neck and chest, New York State Police said. Rushdie remains hospitalized. His attacker, Hadi Matar, was charged with attempted murder and assault.
Rushdie, 75, was born in India and later grew up in England. He has written 14 novels, many of which have been translated in over 40 languages and received numerous accolades. In 2008, Rushdie was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.
Why some found Rushdie's work offensive
The controversy began after Rushdie published his fourth novel, The Satanic Verses, in 1988.
The story centers on two Indian Muslims living in England. It reimagines parts of the Prophet Muhammad's life and in one section suggests that the founder of Islam may have flirted with polytheism.
Whether that interpretation is backed up by Islamic texts has been disputed by historians, but in a 2012 interview with NPR's Morning Edition, the author said that was beside the point.
"My purpose was not to write only about Islam," said Rushdie, who was born to a Muslim family.
"In my view, the story — as it exists in the novel — reflects rather well on the new idea of the religion being born because it shows that it actually may have flirted with compromise, but then rejected it; and when in triumph, it was pretty merciful."
The backlash included violent protests, bookstore fires and an order to assassinate Rushdie
The Satanic Verses received immediate and violent backlash from Muslims who found the book's depictions of Islam insulting.
Within months of its publication, the novel was banned in a number of countries including Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Sudan. His native country of India banned the book's import.
The controversy also ignited violent protests and attacks on bookstores around the world. Multiple people connected to the novel were also under threat — including Hitoshi Igarashi, a Japanese scholar who translated the book, who was killed in 1991.
In 1989, Iran's leader called for Rushdie's assassination and a bounty was offered of several million dollars. Iran stepped back from the religious order, also known as a fatwa, in 1998, saying it would "neither support nor hinder assassination operations on Rushdie." However, the order has not been officially withdrawn.
Rushdie wrote a memoir about his time in hiding that was published in 2012. He lived under the pseudonym Joseph Anton.
"One of the strangest aspects of it is that nobody thought that this was going to last very long," he told NPR in 2012. "They said, 'Just lie low for a few days and let the diplomats and politicians do their work, and this will be resolved.' Instead, in the end, it took almost 12 years."
In a statement, the literary freedom group PEN America said Rushdie was targeted for decades but "never flinched nor faltered."
"We can think of no comparable incident of a public violent attack on a literary writer on American soil," CEO Suzanne Nossel wrote. "We hope and believe fervently that his essential voice cannot and will not be silenced."

Angel City Football Club has nine games remaining in its inaugural season.
Heading into this final stretch, things haven’t gone smoothly for the first-year club.
In three of its last four NWSL games, Angel City has had late leads, only to lose them late in the game. That’s a possible nine points that could have the club near the top of the NWSL standings, instead of being outside the playoff picture, looking in.
The top six teams at the end of season qualify for the NWSL playoffs.
Angel City (5-5-3, 18 points) enters the weekend currently in seventh place facing a big challenge Sunday at Banc of California Stadium against the Chicago Red Stars (6-5-3, 23 points) at 5 p.m. (CBSSN).
“I think losing out on points in late stages of the games has been a painful learning process for the group,” Angel City coach Freya Coombe said. “We are aware that we could have achieved more points, but it is something that we are continuing to work on to improve in the last part of the season.”
Against the Portland Thorns (July 1), Angel City allowed the tying goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time and had to settle for a 1-1 draw. Later in the month (July 30), Angel City had a 2-0 lead at halftime, only to see OL Reign score three times in the second half to take the win and last week, a 2-1 lead in the 90th minute, turned into a 2-2 draw following a stoppage time own goal.
The frustrating part for Angel City is that two of those games were at home.
Midfielder Savannah McCaskill is hopeful things will go smoothly at home against the Red Stars.
“Being the only team we haven’t faced yet, that is going to come with new challenges, but it is also exciting to play someone we haven’t seen yet,” she said. “They don’t know our tendencies other than watching, just like we have to figure out theirs as well. It will be an interesting game.
“It is one of our last few home games, so it is really important that we go in and take care of business and give our supporters something to be proud of and a performance to be proud of.”
After this game, the next league home game for Angel City will come Sept. 21 against the Washington Spirit.
“This is a good opportunity to take points off of this team,” McCaskill said.”It is important that when you are facing a team figuring out their identity, you need to establish yourself. This is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of that at home.”
Angel City has been a bit shorthanded the last two games with forwards Claire Emslie (leg) and Sydney Leroux (illness) sidelined, along with defender Vanessa Gilles (hip).
CHICAGO RED STARS at ANGEL CITY FC
Where: Banc of California Stadium
TV: 5 p.m., CBSSN

FC Barcelona has started the new season disappointingly. Without the Dutch in the base, Xavi’s team got no further than a draw against Rayo Vallecano. The bill ended 0-0. The home team ended the game with one man less, after captain Sergio Busquets received his second yellow card in injury time.
Barça were the dominant side and seemed to take the lead before half-time thanks to signing Robert Lewandowski, who was registered just in time for the start of La Liga. The Polish striker scored nicely, but did so from an offside position. The same happened to substitute Franck Kessié in the final phase. The midfielder thought he would become man of the match, but his goal was also found to be offside. In stoppage time, Radamel Falcao also scored from an offside position, leaving the glasses position on the board.
There were also opportunities for Ansu Fati and Sergio Busquets, but Barça failed to break through Rayo Vallecano’s wall. FC Barcelona therefore starts the new season in a minor way. The Catalan top club, where Frenkie de Jong came in as a substitute and Memphis Depay remained on the bench, simply bit the number twelve of last season.
With the home team, it was not just Lewandowski’s purchase that started in the starting line-up. Andreas Christensen and Raphinha also got a place on the line-up form. The same was true for Dembélé, who extended his expiring contract at Camp Nou. Jules Koundé was missing from the selection due to an injury. Moreover, the Frenchman is not yet eligible to play.
Reigning champions Real Madrid will be in action on Sunday evening at 10 p.m. Almeria is the first opponent.

Elijah Mitchell Dealing With Hamstring Injury: Fans React
ESPN's Adam Schefter shared concerning news about San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell on Friday. The second-year NFL back is currently dealing with a hamstring injury.
That's never good news for a running back this time of year. It puts Mitchell's status for Week 1 in jeopardy. However, per Schefter, the 49ers expect him to be ready for the season opener on Sept. 11.
With that being said, Mitchell will not play during the preseason.
"49ers’ RB Elijah Mitchell is nursing a hamstring injury that likely will prevent him from playing in the preseason, per league source. Mitchell is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season," wrote Schefter.
Elijah Mitchell showed no signs of being a rookie in 2021. He carried the rock 207 times for 963 yards in 11 games. He also had 19 catches for 137 yards and an additional score.
His availability in Week 1 is going to have significant implications for fantasy football owners. If he's unavailable, Jeff Wilson Jr., Trey Sermon and Tyrion Davis-Price will likely split carries.
"Elijah Mitchell has a hamstring injury. The running back injury bug begins for the #49ers. He should be ready for Week 1 according to @AdamSchefter," said Rohan Chakravarthi.
"Elijah Mitchell is dealing with a hamstring injury. This guy can’t catch a break," a fan wrote.
"RB Elijah Mitchell did not practice Wednesday -- and although an apparent hamstring injury isn't expected to shelve him for the opener, it's an ominous reminder about last season's injuries he battled through to lead 49ers in rushing as a rookie," wrote Cam Inman.
Talent has never been in question in regards to Elijah Mitchell. Unfortunately, his durability is.
Hopefully Mitchell gets healthy in time for the 49ers' season opener on Sept. 11 vs. the Bears of Chicago. | https://thespun.com/nfl/nfc-west/san-francisco-49ers/elijah-mitchell-dealing-with-hamstring-injury-fans-react | 2022-08-13T23:41:19Z | https://thespun.com/nfl/nfc-west/san-francisco-49ers/elijah-mitchell-dealing-with-hamstring-injury-fans-react | true | 1 |
Hot nights: US in July sets new record for overnight warmth
Talk about hot nights, America got some for the history books last month.
The continental United States in July set a record for overnight warmth, providing little relief from the day’s sizzling heat for people, animals, plants and the electric grid, meteorologists said.
The average low temperature for the Lower 48 states in July was 63.6 degrees (17.6 Celsius), which beat the previous record set in 2011 by a few hundredths of a degree. The mark is not only the hottest nightly average for July, but for any month in 128 years of record keeping, said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration climatologist Karin Gleason. July’s nighttime low was more than 3 degrees (1.7 Celsius) warmer than the 20th century average.
Scientists have long talked about nighttime temperatures -- reflected in increasingly hotter minimum readings that usually occur after sunset and before sunrise -- being crucial to health.
“When you have daytime temperatures that are at or near record high temperatures and you don’t have that recovery overnight with temperatures cooling off, it does place a lot of stress on plants, on animals and on humans,” Gleason said Friday. “It’s a big deal.”
In Texas, where the monthly daytime average high was over 100 degrees (37.8 Celsius) for the first time in July and the electrical grid was stressed, the average nighttime temperature was a still toasty 74.3 degrees (23.5 Celsius) — 4 degrees (2.2 Celsius) above the 20th century average.
In the past 30 years, the nighttime low in the U.S. has warmed on average about 2.1 degrees (1.2 Celsius), while daytime high temperatures have gone up 1.9 degrees (1.1 Celsius) at the same time. For decades climate scientists have said global warming from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas would make the world warm faster at night and in the northern polar regions. A study earlier this week said the Arctic is now warming four times faster than the rest of the globe.
Nighttime warms faster because daytime warming helps make the air hold more moisture then that moisture helps trap the heat in at night, Gleason said.
“So it is in theory expected and it’s also something we’re seeing happen in the data,” Gleason said.
NOAA on Friday also released its global temperature data for July, showing it was on average the sixth hottest month on record with an average temperature of 61.97 degrees (16.67 degrees Celsius), which is 1.57 degrees (0.87 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 20th century average. It was a month of heat waves, including the United Kingdom breaking its all-time heat record.
“Global warming is continuing on pace,” Colorado meteorologist Bob Henson said.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — Jan van Wagtendonk, a longtime federal scientist at Yosemite National Park who is credited with advocating use of prescribed fire in managing forests, died last month, the park and the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Van Wagtendonk, a fire ecologist, died July 15 at his home in Winters, California, the agencies said in online posts. Age and cause of death were not included.
Van Wagtendonk was one of the authors of the first federal fire policy in 1995, Yosemite’s Facebook page said Friday.
His death came as firefighters battled the Washburn Fire, which began near Yosemite’s famous Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias. The fire scorched more than 7 square miles (18 square kilometers) before being contained but the grove survived thanks to decades of intentionally burning undergrowth beneath the towering trees.
“Jan was a strong advocate for returning fire to the Sierra landscape. His pioneering use of prescribed fire in the early 1970s in and around the Mariposa Grove started us on the path to reestablishing an ecological balance lost in over 100 years of fire suppression,” the park service said.
“There is poetry, in the words of Jan’s son Kent, that in Jan’s final days the fruits of those efforts had a direct and dramatic effect in saving the Mariposa Grove from the Washburn fire,” the park service said.
Van Wagtendonk graduated from Oregon State University and then studied fire ecology at the University of California, Berkeley, according to a profile by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Western Ecological Research Center.
He conducted research at Yosemite for his doctoral dissertation in the late 1960s and then was hired by the park. In the 1990s he moved from the National Park Service to the USGS as one of the original scientists of the western center while maintaining his base at Yosemite.
Van Wagtendonk also studied the impact of increasing backcountry hiking at the park, including effects on vegetation and trail erosion. Yosemite credited him with coming up with the trailhead quota system still in use today. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Yosemite-fire-ecologist-who-urged-prescribed-17371946.php | 2022-08-14T00:06:03Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Yosemite-fire-ecologist-who-urged-prescribed-17371946.php | false | 17 |

BALTIMORE, Jan. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cordish Companies today unveiled plans for a major expansion of its Spark coworking brand – Spark Flex.

"We have directly seen how the national workforce and our local Spark members have been impacted by the global pandemic. Entrepreneurs are looking for creative solutions and resourceful partners as they redefine their workplace culture, develop new tools for talent recruitment and approach company growth strategically."
"The growth of Spark Coworking and the startups and entrepreneurs they have supported since launching in 2016 has brought much needed momentum to Downtown Baltimore's landscape," said Shelonda Stokes, President of Downtown Partnership of Baltimore. "We are thrilled to have the Spark Flex Expansion join the growing downtown ecosystem."
Spark Coworking launched its flagship location, Spark Baltimore, in the heart of downtown Baltimore, Maryland at Power Plant Live! in 2016. Spark now supports over 250 companies and 800 members in its thriving communities in Baltimore, St. Louis, and Kansas City, MO. Since opening in Maryland in 2016, Spark Baltimore has become an integral part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Baltimore and the state with a focus on economic development and providing first-class amenities and startup resources to members. Spark Baltimore recently completed its 5th major expansion which grew the footprint of its anchor member, Fearless, a digital services firm, from 17,000 to over 27,000 square feet across multiple floors of the Spark coworking space. This expansion of their Baltimore headquarters helped support the company's rapid team growth to over 200 team members as of December 2021.

CALGARY, AB, Jan. 12, 2022 /CNW/ - Alvopetro Energy Ltd. ALV ALVOF announces December sales volumes of 2,457 boepd, including natural gas sales of 14.1 mmcfpd and associated natural gas liquids sales from condensate of 101 bopd, based on field estimates. Our December sales volumes bring our estimated fourth quarter average daily sales to 2,432 boepd, a decrease of 1% from the third quarter average sales of 2,459 boepd, and our average daily sales in 2021 to 2,358 boepd, an increase of 27% from the average daily sales of 1,857 boepd in the second half of 2020.
Operational Update
Alvopetro has initiated the commissioning period for the drilling rig that will be used on the exploration drilling campaign for our two natural gas prospects, the 182-C1 well on Block 182 and the 183-B1 well on Block 183. We have begun transporting equipment to the 182-C1 well site and, once the rig has been fully commissioned at the rig operator's base, the rig will be mobilized to the location. Subject to successful commissioning and final rig acceptance, we expect to spud the 182-C1 well later this month.
Alvopetro is also in final stages of completion of our Gomo/Murucututu pipeline to connect our 183-1 well in the Murucututu/Gomo field to our Caburé pipeline, and we will conduct final pressure testing at the end of the month. We have initiated site construction for the field production facility and expect to have the 183(1) well online near the end of the first quarter of this year.
Our project to increase the operational capacity of our gas processing facility to 500,000 m3/d under the terms of our existing Gas Treatment Agreement is progressing according to schedule and we expect that the additional firm capacity will be available by June 1, 2022. The additional available capacity will allow us to have flexibility to process additional volumes from Caburé and our Murucututu field with initial production from our 183(1) Gomo well and further capital plans in 2022, including stimulation and tie-in of the 197(1) well and follow-up fit-for-purpose development wells.
Semi-Annual Natural Gas Price Redetermination
Pursuant to the terms of our long-term gas sales agreement with Bahiagás, effective February 1, 2022, our natural gas price will be adjusted to BRL1.94/m3 or $10.50/mcf (based on our average heat content to date of 107% and the December 31, 2021 BRL/USD foreign exchange rate of 5.58). This adjusted price represents an increase of 48% from our current contracted price and will be effective for all natural gas sales from February 1 to July 31, 2022.
President and CEO, Corey Ruttan commented:
"We have closed out 2021 with another strong quarter of production performance, and at the same time our growth-oriented operations are progressing. In the coming weeks we will commence our exciting 2-well exploration drilling program and will complete our Murucututu/Gomo pipeline to enable the start of production and the broader development of the field.
I am also delighted to announce the latest increase in our gas sales price, which will be above $10/mcf effective February 1. This further enhances our industry-leading operating margins and supports our strategy to both re-invest cash flow into organic growth opportunities and to provide direct returns to shareholders through ongoing quarterly dividends."

Draymond Green Responds to Ja Morant's Christmas Game Reaction
Ja Morant is understandably excited for the Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors Christmas game that was recently revealed. In a Tweet at Draymond Green, Morant implied that the two players had wanted this matchup on Christmas for a while. Green responded to Morant, sharing the same excitement, and inviting the young star for a meal after the game:
Green recently shared some high praise for Morant, saying that the young player reminds him of himself in a lot of ways, despite their different games.
"I'm going to have to go with, in a much different way, Ja Morant," Draymond said when asked which young player reminds him most of himself. "I ain't bowing down to none of ya'll. I don't care what you've accomplished before I got here. That has absolutely nothing to do with it. I believe in myself and my abilities, and I'm gonna show you that. I'm gonna lead, I'm gonna talk to you, and let you know about it while I'm doing it."
While the two sides had a contentious Western Conference Semi-Finals this past year, there is a lot of mutual respect that has been shared as well. Draymond continued that with his response to Morant on Twitter. While the two sides will almost certainly get into it at some point on Christmas, they may also share a meal together after the game as well.

Hardwell Opens Up About His Soul-Stirring Road to Reinvention: "It Feels Way More Like Freedom"
If you peered through a window into Hardwell's soul in 2018, you may have seen nothing but emptiness.
But after returning from a four-year hiatus, the Dutch electronic music icon has torn hell for leather into a new creative frontier. Hardwell is now the cynosure of all eyes as his long-awaited comeback album, REBELS NEVER DIE, approaches.
"I’m really happy with the whole decision, and I’ve never been more productive and happy in the studio as I am right now," Hardwell tells EDM.com in a video interview. "It feels way more like freedom right now than following the rules of the particular formula that went straight into big room."
Within a nanosecond of Hardwell's resurgence, it was clear the euphoric big room house style that longtime fans were accustomed to was gone, eighty-sixed in favor of one that foams at its mouth with dark techno influences. The anthemic vocals that lilted through his distinct sound were dumped like sour milk and replaced by cerebral, spine-chilling samples.
The REBELS NEVER DIE single "PACMAN," for example, explores an escapist nightmare by interpolating an eerie soliloquy about succumbing to inner demons.
From a creative standpoint, it all paints Hardwell's time away as a deeply restorative respite from the hyperactive world of EDM. But he had to experience life's lows before again soaring through its highs.
"The only thing that fans actually want is you to be there. Everywhere."
The pitfalls of a grueling concert schedule can be crippling even for an idol like Hardwell, who took a step back from touring in 2018, citing a desire to spend more time with family. But the noxious effects of a headlining DJ's breakneck lifestyle are invisible to the fan's naked eye, veiled in a murky cloud of hollow Instagram posts and braggadocio.
To this day, DJs are expected to masquerade as doppelgängers of themselves, silently struggling through a faux-rockstar lifestyle that rejects vulnerability and rewards ego. And their mental health dissipates like a fart in the wind.
Even though artists are now more open than ever about their mental health, it seems there's still a glaring disconnect with fans, who are accustomed to scrolling through jet-setting social media timelines. And there's no silver bullet to this problem, which Hardwell encapsulates in simplistic terms.
"The only thing that fans actually want is you to be there," Hardwell says. "Everywhere."
No matter how badly they want to appease every fan, artists of Hardwell's renown must do an exorbitant amount of spadework behind the scenes to prepare for shows. The nature of that work can be so incessant that it slowly eats away at their tenacity.
And therein lies the catch-22. What fans may not readily understand is that it's certainly possible to perform everywhere when you're spending half a year on a plane, but the travel is so exhausting that it throttles your ability to do so. "Being Hardwell 24/7 leaves too little energy, love, creativity and attention for my life as a normal person," he lamented when he announced his indefinite hiatus.
It's difficult to stick to your convictions if you find yourself grappling with their limitations.
"It’s tough sometimes," Hardwell tells us with a sigh, "especially when you’re doing 200 flights a year. I’m really happy that I brought it down to—not kidding—I think I’m doing 30 or 35 shows this year. And I’m really happy with finding that balance between being here at home in Holland with my studio work and being back on the road."
Even pilots aren't legally allowed to fly too much—so why are DJs expected to?
"It's funny that a full-time pilot... is only allowed to do 50 flights a year," Hardwell says. "Otherwise it'll affect his health."
It's important to note that Hardwell doesn't fault his fans, who remain among the most loyal and diehard in the electronic dance music ecosystem.
"I think it's a natural thing when you're so hyped about an artist, you just want to see them," he explains. "And I don't think the fans actually mean it in a bad way. It's really hard to understand."
When Hardwell ultimately made the daunting decision to hang up the headphones, not only did he put his performance career on hold, but he also separated himself from his home studio for an entire year. Relative to the turbocharged world of dance music, it may as well have been an eternity.
He may not have realized it at the time, but the temporary detachment from his art would ultimately provide Hardwell the mental reset he needed to move forward.
Hardwell's momentous return to Miami's Ultra Music Festival—an event he had performed at every year from 2012 to 2018—was characterized by a new, eye-popping stage production and the realization of his cohesive vision for REBELS NEVER DIE. But the triumphant comeback was hardly what was on his mind the moment he finally returned to the studio.
"I wanted to create something that's as close as possible to myself. That’s REBELS NEVER DIE."
Instead, the evolution of REBELS NEVER DIE began with Hardwell channeling his roots. He listened intently to the music that made an impact on him in his formative teen years, he says, around the time when he had signed his first record deal.

Hardwell Opens Up About His Soul-Stirring Road to Reinvention: "It Feels Way More Like Freedom"
A candid interview with Hardwell, who is creating, performing and living on his own terms after over a decade in electronic dance music.
San Diego's Day.MVS XL Festival Lives Up to Its Name In 2022
The SoCal weekender played host to Eric Prydz, Duke Dumont, ANNA more.
"I walked in the studio and for the first two weeks I only started listening to dance music, like dance records from back in the day when I was 12 or 13 years old," Hardwell recalls.
Reorienting himself through a meticulous dissection of the craft, Hardwell's focus was simple. He wanted to understand what made those nostalgic records great and use that inspiration to forge a new pathway.
"I wanted to create something that's as close as possible to myself," he rhapsodizes. "That’s REBELS NEVER DIE."
Hardwell tells us the first REBELS NEVER DIE track he produced was "DOPAMINE," a record that packs an adrenaline rush reminiscent of his classic mainstage hits. Coupled with the infusion of ominous techno soundscapes, the single is a nod to the underground.
While Hardwell describes REBELS NEVER DIE as one of the most organic projects he's ever created, it was a labor of love. There's certainly no handbook on how to navigate such a delicate and high-stakes transition, but he felt a responsibility to confront it head-on and set realistic expectations for how his new chapter would unfold.
"When I look at artists I really admire and they change their sound, the first question is, 'Why?' It's not that I don't agree with them," Hardwell explains. "I just want to know, 'Why?' What in your own mind made you want to change your sound or your signature?"
With the album's lead single, "BROKEN MIRROR," Hardwell introduced fans to his mission statement via an emphatic lyric: "I know what you want me to be / Now I'm gonna show you who I truly am."
In order to make good on that statement, Hardwell had to dig deep. He approached his creative sessions with few rules or expectations, save for one: his next chapter would be cultivated entirely of his own influence.
"Why should you imprison an artist in any one particular style?"
Ordinarily a very collaborative artist, Hardwell bucked tradition and insisted REBELS NEVER DIE be entirely a solo endeavor. It's not that he didn't want to team up with other artists—if he had done so, he says, he would've compromised the secrecy surrounding his historic comeback album.
Despite his unconventional approach, longtime fans can find solace in the notion that the "Spaceman" producer's signature sound of yesteryear will come back down to earth at some point.
"I'm working on a couple more vocal-ish songs right now, even in the new style," revealed Hardwell, who said that if he were to deconstruct the arrangement of REBELS NEVER DIE cuts like "F*CKING SOCIETY," he could seamlessly repurpose it into a vocal-driven anthem of old. "Those songs still have the right chords, the right emotion. I'm just trying to figure out for myself which direction I want to go with that."
Despite the unwavering conviction he has today, Hardwell intuitively knew that the introduction to his new direction wouldn't necessarily win over everyone during that eventful return to Ultra Music Festival. He says he was extremely nervous before taking the stage, but had "no hesitation at all" when it came time to push his chips forward.
"If I go to a Coldplay concert and they started playing completely different music without their well-known songs, I would be disappointed as well,” he analogizes. "So I see it from that perspective. On the other hand, I always think you should support an artist, if you like him, in any direction he's going. Why should you imprison an artist in any one particular style?"
Hardwell candidly admitted his comeback performance initially landed with split audience reactions that night in Magic City. But he believes his team executed his vision and "pulled it off the right way."
"I could have done my Ultra set with 50% of my well-known, older songs and 50% of the REBELS NEVER DIE album songs, but that would have not made the statement I wanted to make," he explained.
Overall, Hardwell doesn't appear to be preoccupied with rehashing the decisions of his past. Instead, he sees only upside ahead as he continues to galvanize audiences around the rallying cry of REBELS NEVER DIE.
Next up for Hardwell is a return to Ibiza, where he's primed for a two-hour DJ set at the island's fabled Ushuaïa club, one of the world's most coveted nightlife designations.
He says the performance presents a new challenge for his team due to the tremendous scale of the REBELS NEVER DIE world tour production. The herculean stage design stole the show at three of the world's biggest EDM festivals: Ultra, Belgium's Tomorrowland and Romania's Untold.
"I think it's going to be a really intimate show," Hardwell says. "It was quite a journey to get that REBELS NEVER DIE stage design squeezed into Ushuaïa."
Considering it's Hardwell's only show on the White Isle in 2022, he says it's going to be "crazy." Ergo, fans who made the trip to the idyllic party island are in for perhaps the rarest performance of his career.
"You have to take the crowd on a journey," he continues. "That's what Ibiza's all about. It's not me getting on stage and start smashing my album tracks right into it—you have to create that certain journey. And then when you reach that point, you can drop that kind of music. Then it's game over."
Hardwell's 14-track REBELS NEVER DIE LP is expected to release in late 2022. Fans can pre-save the album here.

Cam Zink, who
signed for Devinci in January, has been rolling around Whistler on an unreleased prototype that looks to have more travel than the 160mm Spartan HP
that Kazimer tested last September.
Matt Beer snapped the photo above with his Nokia flip phone from 2003, but it does give us a good view of the bike's Split Pivot suspension layout and what looks to be a Push Elevensix shock. Devinci didn't want to say much about Cam's bike other than it was welded in their Chicoutimi, Quebec, factory, but they're definitely working on something new. | https://www.pinkbike.com/news/cam-zinks-prototype-devinci-crankworx-whistler-2022.html?trk=rss | 2022-08-14T01:16:53Z | https://www.pinkbike.com/news/cam-zinks-prototype-devinci-crankworx-whistler-2022.html?trk=rss | false | null |

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Bob Tasca III topped Funny Car qualifying for the second straight event Saturday in the Menards NHRA Nationals at Heartland Motorsports Park.
Tasca’s Friday run of 3.930 seconds at 323.81 mph in a Ford Mustang held up for his ninth career No. 1 qualifier.
“That track is so good out there and this air is so hard to make power, but this Mustang showed them we’re out here making some real horsepower,” Tasca said. “Hats off to the guys, but I’ll tell you one thing, we got a yellow (No. 1 qualifier) hat in Seattle, and we didn’t get to trade it in for a blue (winner’s) hat. Tomorrow, we want to trade this thing in for a blue hat.”
Mike Salinas took the No, 1 spot in Top Fuel, Greg Anderson in Pro Stock and Joey Gladstone in Pro Stock Motorcycle.
Salinas, a four-time winner this year, had a 3.754 at 323.19 on Friday. Anderson picked up his second straight No. 1 and 120th overall, with his Friday run of 6.623 at 205.44 in a Chevrolet Camaro. Gladstone had a 6.831 at 195.08 on a Suzuki, also Friday. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/sports/article/Bob-Tasca-III-tops-NHRA-Funny-Car-qualifying-at-17372011.php | 2022-08-14T01:17:12Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/sports/article/Bob-Tasca-III-tops-NHRA-Funny-Car-qualifying-at-17372011.php | true | 11 |
LAFC are in the best form in MLS, and will look to continue that on Saturday when they host a new opponent, 2022 MLS expansion side Charlotte FC.
LAFC won their fifth consecutive league game last weekend, when they downed Real Salt Lake 4-1 on the road. Cristian Arango scored a brace, Gareth Bale had a fantastic capper goal, and Kellyn Acosta somehow quietly got the winner in Utah, and the black-and-gold remain atop the Supporters’ Shield standings. Life is good, but nothing is accomplished yet.
In Charlotte, they’ll face an expansion side that is hard to pin down. They have already fired their first head coach, which is usually a sign of doom, but they are also a healthy 8W-4L-0D at home to start their history. On the flipside, they are a mere 1W-9L-2D on the road, so home cooking really seems to benefit North Carolina’s MLS team. I think this team has more potential than the most abject expansion teams in history but are they at LAFC/Seattle Sounders/Atlanta United/Nashville SC levels of expansion competence? It doesn’t look like it, but they still have some time to really push on and be a definitive success in their first year.
On paper, LAFC should dominate this game, but it could very well be a trap game if they’re not careful. And again, I don’t think Charlotte are in the top echelon of expansion teams but they aren’t truly terrible, either. Respect the opponent, play your game, and hopefully LAFC continue to roll at The Banc.
Injuries/absences:
LAFC:
- Julian Gaines (pelvis) — OUT
Charlotte:
- Vinicius Mello (foot) — OUT
- Adam Armour (knee) — OUT
- Guzman Corujo (ACL) — OUT
- Kerwin Vargas (knee) — QUESTIONABLE
Odds:
According to our partners at DraftKings Sportsbook, as of Thursday afternoon, LAFC are (+180), Charlotte are (+600) and a draw is (+390), so LAFC are enormous favorites at home. Hopefully that means it’s a routine victory!
How to Watch:
Saturday’s match between LAFC and Charlotte FC will be televised locally on KCOP13 and Estrella TV 62.2 and streamed in the rest of the United States on ESPN+. The broadcast is scheduled to start at 7:30 pm PT with kickoff to come at 7:38. | https://www.angelsonparade.com/2022/8/13/23301957/how-to-watch-lafc-vs-charlotte-fc-preview-odds | 2022-08-14T01:18:34Z | https://www.angelsonparade.com/2022/8/13/23301957/how-to-watch-lafc-vs-charlotte-fc-preview-odds | false | 1 |
Shipping companies prepared to halt the transport of goods on the Rhine as water levels in Germany’s biggest river neared a critically low point Saturday.
An ongoing drought affecting much of Europe has lowered rivers such as the Rhine, preventing large ships with heavy loads from passing key waypoints and forcing them to use smaller vessels or to split cargoes into multiple shipments.
At one bottleneck, near the town of Kaub on the Middle Rhine, an official gauge measured the water level at 37 centimeters (14.6 inches) on Saturday afternoon. Big, heavy ships can’t pass if the level falls below 40 centimeters (15.7 inches).
While the depth of the shipping lane in Kaub was still about 150 centimeters (59 inches), experts say passage becomes tricky even for light or specially adapted cargo ships if water levels fall below 35 centimeters (14 inches) at the gauge mark. A reading below 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) is considered unpassable.
Shipping authorities predict that point could be reached early next week, though it is unclear whether water levels will reach the record low of 25 centimeters measured at the Kaub gauge in October 2018.
Logistics company Contargo said Friday that it was preparing to halt shipping on the Upper and Middle Rhine for safety reasons and planned to shift some of its cargo onto trucks.
Road and rail freight capacity is limited, however.
Companies along the Rhine that rely on ships to receive raw materials and deliver finished goods are expected to face delays and shortages. Coal-fired power plants and gas stations could also see supply shortages, if shipping on the Rhine is halted.
Meteorologists forecast rain in the coming days, though it was unclear whether it would be enough to keep water levels on the Rhine from dropping to a point that affects shipping.
In Italy, authorities allowed more water from Lake Garda to flow out to parched local rivers like the Po that farmers use to irrigate crops. Combined with Italy’s worst drought in decades, the country’s largest lake is nearing its lowest-ever recorded water level.

Anne Heche, the Emmy- and Tony-nominated actor whose work in “Six Days Seven Nights,” “Another World” and dozens of other projects dovetailed with a groundbreaking romance with Ellen DeGeneres that challenged homophobia in Hollywood, has died. She was 53.
Her son Homer confirmed her death in a statement to the Los Angeles Times on Friday.
“My brother Atlas and I lost our Mom. After six days of almost unbelievable emotional swings, I am left with a deep, wordless sadness,” he wrote. “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 stepmom Alexi who continue to be my rock during this time. Rest In Peace Mom, I love you, Homer.”
Heche was removed from life support after being hospitalized after crashing her car into a Mar Vista home, which then caught on fire. After the Aug. 5 crash, Heche was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital in critical condition. She was declared brain dead Thursday night. As of Friday, Heche was legally dead, but her heart was still beating and her body was on life support to preserve viable organs for possible donation.
She suffered significant burns in the crash. On Thursday, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that a blood test showed Heche was under the influence of narcotics at the time, and another law enforcement source told the Times that Heche’s initial blood test showed cocaine in her system.
Before Heche died, the LAPD was planning to administer a second blood test to rule out hospital treatments as the reason for narcotics showing up in her initial screen. Shortly after the crash, Heche fell into a coma with a major injury that required her to be put on mechanical ventilation, her spokesperson said.
By Thursday night, it was clear that Heche would not survive. A statement on behalf of her family and friends said the actor had suffered “a severe anoxic brain injury” and would be kept on life support to determine whether any of her organs were viable for donation, as had long been her wish.
“Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit,” the statement said. “More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work — especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love. She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light.”
Heche’s ex-husband, Coleman “Coley” Laffoon, said in a video that she “was brave and fearless and loved really hard.”
“Goodbye, Anne. Love you, thank you,” he added. “Thank you for all the good times. There were so many, and see you on the other side.”
Rosanna Arquette, Alec Baldwin, James Gunn and James Tupper were among the Hollywood figures mourning Heche on social media Friday.
Throughout her decadeslong career, Heche delivered nearly 100 performances on TV, stage and film. In the late 1980s, she got her big break with a dual role on the long-running NBC soap opera “Another World.” By 1991, she won a Daytime Emmy for her acclaimed work as Vicky Hudson and Marley Love on the show.
After rising to prominence on the daytime TV circuit, Heche made the leap to the big screen, where she starred in high-profile films including “Donnie Brasco” (1997), “Volcano” (1997), “I Know What You Did Last Summer” (1997), “Six Days Seven Nights” (1998), “Return to Paradise” (1998) and “John Q” (2002).
Her professional life took a turn, however, when she began publicly dating DeGeneres, who had just come out as gay on her hit sitcom and in real life. Both performers endured major career setbacks as a result of being open about their sexuality at a time when that was much less accepted.
In a 1998 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Heche accused Fox of refusing to hire her after she and DeGeneres made their relationship official around the time the studio’s “Volcano” debuted — and tanked — at the box office.
“They still have this bitterness about the timing of my falling in love with Ellen and the opening of ‘Volcano,’ ” Heche told the Times.
“I have my own opinions about why that movie didn’t do well, as anybody with half a brain would, but they want to blame it on somebody. I won’t say doors are shut for me. I know there are studios that will hire me (laughing).”
On Friday, DeGeneres expressed support for her former partner.
“This is a sad day,” DeGeneres tweeted. “I’m sending Anne’s children, family and friends all of my love.”
Heche was born May 25, 1969, in Aurora, Ohio. During her childhood, Heche and her family moved often when her father, a choir director, pursued different gigs. At 12 years old, she worked with a her mother at a dinner theater in Swainton, New Jersey, then eventually moved with her family to Chicago.
In the Windy City came her big break. A talent scout invited a 16-year-old Heche to audition for CBS’ “As the World Turns.” However, before she could take on that daytime drama, her mother insisted that she finish her high school education. After graduating in 1987, Heche debuted as Vicky Hudson and Marley Love in NBC’s “Another World.”
“I think everything in my childhood led me to being an actress,” she told Larry King in 2001. “I not only wanted to leave the planet, I wanted to be anything other than who I was. And so did my family.”
In 1991, Heche earned her first Daytime Emmy for her work in the NBC soap and soon made her film debut. Throughout the ’90s, she appeared in “An Ambush of Ghosts,” “The Adventures of Huck Finn,” “I’ll Do Anything” and others. She eventually became a screen staple, acting alongside Cher, Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin. In 1996, she appeared in Nicole Holofcener’s Sundance film “Walking and Talking,” then in Mike Newell’s “Donnie Brasco” with Johnny Depp a year later. She also shared the screen with Tommy Lee Jones in “Volcano.”
Heche met DeGeneres in March 1997 at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. The two went public with their relationship on an episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” shortly after Heche joined the cast for “Six Days Seven Nights.”
“I don’t think it was immediately a sexual attraction,” Heche told Winfrey about meeting DeGeneres. “I just think it was, ‘Wow, you are just the most incredible person I’ve ever met and I want to be with you.’”
The women ended their relationship in August 2000. A day after the breakup, Heche made headlines when she dropped by a stranger’s home in Fresno and claimed that God “was going to take everyone back to heaven in a spaceship.”
In the early aughts, she scaled back her time in the spotlight, instead opting for roles in indie films and TV series such as “Ally McBeal,” “Prozac Nation” and “Gracie’s Choice.” In 2001, Heche released her memoir, “Call Me Crazy.” In it, she alleged that her father, who was gay and died of AIDS in 1983, abused her when she was young. She previously told the Times that she intended for her autobiography to help others.
“It’s who I am. I hope the fact that I talk about these things in my life might help other people find peace in their own conflicts,” she told the Times in 2004. “People are curious about it, but I think it will become less and less, and hopefully I’ll have more and more topics to add on so that there won’t always be questions about the last seven years of my life.”
In September 2001, Heche married Laffoon, a cameraman whom she had hired in 2000 to film a documentary about DeGeneres. The next year was a busy one as Heche gave birth to their son, Homer, and made her Broadway debut in a production of “Proof.”
In 2004, she earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for her work in “Gracie’s Choice” and a Tony nomination for her work in a Broadway production of the play “Twentieth Century,” where she starred opposite Baldwin. That year also saw Heche appear in the films “Sexual Life” and “Birth.”
In 2007, Heche filed for divorce from Laffoon and began dating her “Men in Trees” co-star James Tupper. In December 2008, she gave birth to her second child, Atlas. From 2009 to 2011, Heche starred in HBO’s “Hung.” She also had a recurring arc as Susan Rodriguez-Jones in “The Michael J. Fox Show” from 2013 to 2014.
Heche revisited Broadway in 2016 with Topher Grace in “Opening Night.” She also starred with Sandra Oh in the indie film “Catfight.”
“Oh and Heche are great here, giving performances entirely lacking in vanity and self-consciousness,” The Times’ “Catfight” review said. “They aren’t afraid to get ugly, both in their treatment of everyone around them as well as in their post-brawl bruises, which makes them that much funnier.”
“I created characters out of the funniness of life,” Heche told the Times in 2010, speaking about her process. “And I also loved physical comedy, not over the top, but born of what I thought was true in life, fumbling over the journey through life, which is so complicated and painful.”
In 2017, Heche appeared in the film’ “My Friend Dahmer” and took up a lead role for the NBC series “The Brave.” In 2018, she and Tupper split. In 2020 she was a contestant on the 29th season of “Dancing With the Stars,” being voted off third among the contestants. That same year, she took up a recurring role on the CBS legal drama “All Rise.”
In recent years Heche continued to keep busy, launching the “Better Together with Anne & Heater” podcast with co-host Heather Duff in 2020. In June 2022, she also landed a starring role in Lifetime’s upcoming film “Girl in Room 13,” directed by Elisabeth Rohm. As of Thursday, the film was still on track for its September release.
Heche is survived by her sons Homer and Atlas.

Mexico to send aquatic drone into shaft with trapped miners
MEXICO CITY — (AP) — Mexico will attempt to send an aquatic drone into a collapsed coal mine where 10 miners have been trapped since last week.
Laura Velázquez, national Civil Defense coordinator, said Monday that images from the drone could help authorities decide whether to send in divers without putting them at risk.
She also said that 25 pumps were working to remove water from the flooded shafts. Water that was once 111 feet (34 meters) deep was now between 55 and 78 feet (17 and 26 meters) deep.
The mine in Sabinas, Coahuila about 70 miles southwest of Eagle Pass, Texas, collapsed last Wednesday with 15 miners inside. Five managed to escape with injuries. Authorities say the miners breached a neighboring space filled with water. There has been no contact with the remaining 10.
The miners’ families are desperate and some complained Sunday that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador gave them little information when he visited the site.
“I appreciate that he has come to take a photo with my pain, the pain of my family and the pain of everyone of us here,” said Lucía Rodríguez, mother of one of the miners, in a video circulated on social media. “I hope that his photographs serve his policy well.”
The president said that as a public servant you have to be willing “to always pay the tax of humiliation,” but that his conscience is clear because the rescue teams arrived to the site in two hours and have been working day and night to rescue the miners.
The state and federal prosecutor’s offices have opened investigations to determine those responsible for the accident. Such small mines are often the result of locals who get concessions and then contract teams of miners. Experts say they seldom have the safety plans and equipment necessary to reduce the risk of accidents.
In June and July of 2021, cave-ins at two Coahuila mines claimed the lives of nine miners.
Mexico’s worst mining accident also occurred in Coahuila on Feb. 19, 2006, when an explosion ripped through the Pasta de Conchos mine while 73 miners were inside. Eight were rescued with injuries including serious burns. The rest died and only two of their bodies were recovered.
López Obrador’s administration promised two years ago to recover the remaining 63 bodies, a highly technical endeavor that has still not begun.

LONDON, Jan. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The accelerating growth of the renewable energy sector continues as companies are looking to transition to a low carbon environment. The speed of growth is also creating significant demand for building resilience against climate change, according to WTW WTW, a leading global advisory, broking, and solutions company, at the launch of its annual Renewable Energy Market Review.
The report also outlines how the renewables insurance market is stabilizing with low to mid single-digit price increases expected in 2022. Some of the key challenges besetting the renewables insurance market include aged assets, operation & maintenance and spares, natural catastrophe risk, contractor experience, lender obligations, the pace of technological change and COVID-19 related supply chain interruption risks.
Graham Knight, Head of Global Natural Resources, WTW, said: "The renewable energy industry is transforming at a speed which can be difficult to track. This can be seen in the record growth in solar PV and wind capacity additions - beating the previous year's record - as well as the increasing interest from insurers in offshore wind and hydrogen, where synergies in environment and technology strategies are available. This creates an incredibly complex and fast evolving environment for the sector, so it is essential that organisations understand how to manage not only the speed of growth but also the emerging risks that arise, such as supply chain issues. At WTW, we are helping renewable energy companies navigate this complex risk terrain by providing innovative solutions which can help mitigate risk in this fast-growing sector."

Phillips, Mitchell star in New Zealand’s series-clinching win
Kingston – Glenn Phillips (76) and Daryl Mitchell (48) played quick-fire hands to power New Zealand to a series-clinching 90-run win over the West Indies at Kingston. The home side ended up with just 125 for 9 in pursuit of a substantial target of 216. In fact, the home team had started the game on a better note, with Obed McCoy removing both Martin Guptill and Kane Williamon. At 36-2, with New Zealand in a spot of bother, Devon Conway and Phillips steadied the innings with an alliance of 71 off 46 balls for the third wicket. Once Conway was trapped LBW by Odean Smith, Phillips found an able ally in Mitchell as the pair added 83 in just over five overs. Eventually, Phillips was dismissed by McCoy and Mitchell by Shepherd. However, by then, the duo had pushed the score past the 200-run mark. Meanwhile, McCoy finished with figures of 3-40. In the chase, the West Indies’ batting unit once again crumbled as they slid to 19-4 in 6 overs. Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner shared all the four wickets. At 87-9, McCoy and Walsh played out the remaining overs. Incidentally, McCoy’s unbeaten 23 turned out to be the highest score in West Indies’ innings while Rovman Powell struck 21. Santner and Bracewell took three wickets apiece. | https://nation.com.pk/2022/08/14/phillips-mitchell-star-in-new-zealands-series-clinching-win/ | 2022-08-14T02:10:00Z | https://nation.com.pk/2022/08/14/phillips-mitchell-star-in-new-zealands-series-clinching-win/ | false | 1 |

Swastikas and other anti-Semitic graffiti spray-painted along walking trail
MARYLAND (DC News Now) — Walkers and cyclists encountered some disturbing messages along the Bethesda Trolley Trail Sunday morning. Swastikas and the words “white power” were spray-painted in bright red along the nearly five mile long trail.
It’s the second time this summer that anti-Jewish images and messages have been found at public places in Montgomery County. In June, anti-Semitic flyers were posted at a bus stop in Silver Spring.
Montgomery County Police started receiving calls about the graffiti early Sunday morning. By the time that county employees arrived to start covering up the graffiti, a good Samaritan — who first noticed the vandalism while riding his bike — had already started painting over the messages.
“It is crazy that you can put up Nazi symbols and not have any shame,” said Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich in an interview with DC News Now. “You think about what this country and the world went through fighting fascists. And the idea that there are people around who think that putting up the signs of the Fascist regime as a symbol of Adolf Hitler… it’s just really disturbing.”
The graffiti was found directly on the walkway, as well as on a fence that’s right next to the trail. All that’s left now are faint outlines of what was spray-painted.
Capt. Stacey Flynn with the Montgomery County Police Department tells DC News Now that investigators are working with Park Police to get to the bottom of this. So far, no suspects have been identified.

Gaming industry feels squeeze after pandemic boom
Delayed release of new titles such as 'Starfield' are among factors that have cooled video game fervor that could heat back up when blockbusters launch
In the height of the pandemic, video games offered people solace in isolation. But now that life is slowly returning to pre-crisis normal, and inflation is soaring, gaming companies are feeling the pinch.
Makers of consoles, accessories, and software for gaming are experiencing the same kind of post-pandemic effect as tech titans who saw business boom while Covid-19 fears kept people close to home.
The squeeze has been exacerbated by steep inflation spurring belt-tightening and gaming fatigue after years of relying on indoor entertainment.
Early in the pandemic, "people flocked to Twitch in droves -- streamers and viewers alike," said Brandon Williams, who goes by the handle "BWpaco" on the Amazon-owned platform where gamers broadcast video game action.
"But I've talked to quite a few people who have stopped streaming because they've had burnout or because it's not for them," the 30-year-old streamer added.
"Or, they don't have the time anymore since they went back to work in person."
Twitch viewership that soared during the pandemic has ebbed but remains above what is was in 2019, according to twitchtracker.com.
- Games still in play -
Matt Piscatella, an analyst with market research group NPD, estimated that people in the United States will spend about $55.5 billion on gaming in total this year, less than last year but still up 28 percent from the pre-pandemic year of 2019.
Activision Blizzard has reported cooling sales as players spend less time with its blockbuster 'Call of Duty' action games
US video game giant Activision Blizzard, which Microsoft is in the process of purchasing, reported that sales in the first half of this year declined, with gamers spending less time in its powerhouse "Call of Duty" franchise.
Nvidia, the California-based maker of high-performance graphics cards popular with gamers, recently issued an earnings warning because of "declining revenues in video games."
Even spending on mobile games is showing signs of weakening, according to analysts.
"Higher prices in everyday spending categories such as food and gas, the return of experiential spending such as travel and attending live events, a lighter release slate of new games, and continued new generation console hardware supply constraints were all likely contributors to the decline seen in the second quarter," Piscatella said.
Omdia analyst Steven Bailey said delayed releases of keenly-anticipated titles such as "Starfield" and "Suicide Squad" also contributed to a pandemic boom "correction" that was inevitable.
- Lurking -
The bump that new titles give to video game sales is a wild card likely to benefit the industry going forward, as players typically throng to get their hands on hot releases.
Some Twitch streamers are seeing a trend of viewers opting to listen to broadcasts as they might a radio show
Piscatella expressed hope the video game market will stabilize in the year ahead and then return to steady growth.
The rising cost of living from inflation is forcing gamers to make choices with their money, but that doesn't mean they are abandoning play, the analyst noted.
More than three-quarters of US consumers play video games, and subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus help tamp down the cost, Piscatella said.
Pandemic effects on video game play have gone beyond the economic arena, giving rise to a trend of players seeking "comfort games" that emphasize cooperation rather than competition.
The explosion of Nintendo's "Animal Crossing" game devoted to community building is an example of this phenomenon, with players uniting to sustain virtual towns.
And, according to streamer BWpaco, viewers are taking to listening to Twitch channels as they might a radio broadcast while their attention is elsewhere.
"They're just lurking," the streamer said.

Long before Nirvana made it popular, Bob Mould helped create the heavy-but-hummable rock sound that would become so big in the '90s. Hüsker Dü, the band he co-founded in 1979, was among the most prominent in the punk underground that blossomed across the country during the Reagan years. The trio broke up in 1988, just as punk was beginning to hit a mainstream tipping point — but Mould has kept recording ever since, as a solo artist and with his band Sugar, and has pushed himself to keep innovating.
On a new record called Beauty & Ruin, out this week, Mould looks back on his life and long musical career, both of which were profoundly influenced by his father — a music enthusiast who bought him records and guitars, but could also be cruel. In a conversation that covers Mould's entire artistic life — from playing along to Ramones albums in rural New York to building a DIY touring network with Hüsker Dü, through sobriety, sexual self-discovery and the death of his father — the elder statesman of alt-rock tells NPR's David Greene that at 53, he's finally starting to have fun. Hear the radio version at the audio link, and read more of their conversation below.
DAVID GREENE: I wanted to start with where you grew up: It was a small, rural town in upstate New York. Describe the place for me and how you got your first taste of punk rock.
BOB MOULD: Well, I was born and raised in a small farm town called Malone, which was the county seat of Franklin County, the northernmost county in New York state. So when people would say, "Oh, you're from upstate New York?" I go, "No, I'm actually from northern New York." The closest city was Montreal, which was about 50 miles due north.
So you're way up there. You probably got some snow occasionally.
[Laughs.] A little bit of snow, yeah. I was north of Lake Placid. It was just a quiet farm town — very idyllic, very beautiful. In the '60s and '70s it was unscathed; they hadn't started building all the prisons that currently occupy the area. But in order to find this elusive punk-rock music that I'd started reading about in magazines and seeing occasionally on television, I would have to drive either due east to Plattsburgh or Burlington, Vt., or, more likely than not, north to Montreal to buy music.
And you say "elusive." Is that because the punk-rock scene was kind of hidden in the underground?
Well, for a farm-town kid, yeah. I didn't have Max's [Kansas City] or CBGB's or anywhere like that at my fingertips, so it took a little bit more research. And coming across punk rock, it was in the funniest ways. When I was a small child, I had all these jukebox singles my dad used to get for me, so I grew up listening to all the great '60s radio music. In the mid-'70s, I was listening to what my friends were listening to: heavy metal, Fleetwood Mac, Foghat, that kind of stuff. And I used to read this monthly music magazine out of New York City called Rock Scene: They would cover Aerosmith and Kiss, but they would also cover Blondie and Television and the Ramones.
I saw these pictures of the Ramones trying to buy a P.A., or trying to find a practice space. It would be these three-page photo spreads, and they looked infinitely cooler than the metal bands that I was listening to. And then, for my 16th birthday, I got the first Ramones album.
From your dad?
I got to go to the record store and pick something out.
That was a big moment, I can imagine.
That was a big moment, yeah. I already had a Sears guitar, which I was trying to learn how to play. But when I heard the Ramones, that was the moment when I realized that it was actually easier than it seemed. It was very doable.
What do you mean by that? What exactly struck you when you heard that music?
Just the simplicity of it. It was very transparent. You know, on the first Ramones record, drums and vocals were set in the center, the bass was on one side and the guitar was on the other. It was almost as if it was an instructional record: I could get close to the bass guitar, hear the drums and vocals, and I could play guitar to that. Or I could go over and listen to the guitar, and learn that constant downstroke, power-chord style that Johnny Ramone came up with. It was just very, very different than these hugely produced pop records at the time. And going back to Rock Scene magazine and bands with private jets and groupies and cocaine — that all seemed unattainable, I guess. And complicated, and not really that interesting.
Unattainable. "I want to be in that world with the cocaine, but I just can't get there."
Yeah, a private jet was very daunting. It seemed much easier to take the subway like the Ramones did. It's just, I guess, an aesthetic call.
I'd like to hear about your father. As you say, he was giving you these singles and kind of getting you into music. But I've read he was a difficult personality in many ways.
My dad passed away in October of 2012. He was a pretty amazing person — a very, very complicated person, a very, very smart person. When I was 6 or 7 years old — that would be 1967, '68, maybe — he bought a mom-and-pop grocery store, and we packed up the family and moved into this small house that had the grocery store attached to it. People would come to the store and this little buzzer would flip when the door opened, and we would go out through the kitchen and wait on the customers. I think I learned a lot from my dad about business that way — how to run a register, things like that.
You know, my dad, he was a drinker. He liked to drink. Weekends could be tough. It's funny — in retrospect, it didn't seem that strange, because I only had a handful of friends in junior high and high school that I remember going to their houses, and it was a similar thing.
You mean, dads who were doing some drinking?
Yes, exactly. So it didn't strike me as being particularly abnormal or different. I guess in this day and age, people would be more upset about raising a kid in that environment. I'm sure it still happens; I know it does. But I guess I never really thought it was that strange. It almost just seemed like, "Oh, here comes Friday afternoon and here comes trouble." Sunday night it calms down, and then we go back to school on Monday. I could go into deeper details, but I think that sets it up pretty good.
How tough did it get? I mean, I've read the word "abusive" in some places, describing your household.
You know, there was physicality. But I wouldn't — I don't think it was abuse in an endemic kind of way.
Is there a tie here to the music? Punk rock tends to have a lot of anger in it. I wonder if, as a kid getting into that kind of music, you were venting some of the anger and frustration from being in a tough family environment.
Yeah, I think so. A record like Zen Arcade — that was a double album that my first group, Hüsker Dü, put out in 1984 — that record has a lot of those rites of passage, trying to separate once and for all from your childhood, as we all want to do when we're 22 or 23, and not realizing that we can never fully separate from it.
We should say, complicated as your dad might have been, he bought you your first guitar, right?
Well, going back to when I was getting these boxes of used jukebox singles, that was how I learned music: I would listen to these records and I could sit at a piano and figure out the melodies. He would take me record shopping, got me my first guitar, got me my second guitar, which was the guitar that people watched me play for eight years with Hüsker Dü. So again, a complex person, but I'm very grateful for all those gifts that he exposed me to — even through Hüsker Dü, buying a couple different vans and driving them out to Minnesota so that the band would have decent vehicles to tour the country in.
And Hüsker Dü became one of the biggest alternative bands in the country — though even then you were below the radar in a way. Can you take me into that world? How did punk-rock fans find each other in those days? What were the nights like?
I went to college in St. Paul, Minn., a school called Macalester. Within the first semester, I met a fellow named Grant Hart, who was working at a record store down the street from school. He had a friend who worked at another record store named Greg Norton. So we now have a drummer, a bass player and me on guitar. We get together, and we're trying to write some songs to possibly play at this club called The Longhorn, which in 1979 was the punk-rock club in the Twin Cities. It's where all of the big bands would play, like The Police and Blondie.
Those are big names.
And we managed to get a gig there. And we kept playing, kept meeting people. We went through a number of different styles at the beginning: some sort of simple punk rock; some sort of surfy; some chimey and depressing almost like Joy Division or The Cure, little bits of sort of industrial noise. And then we arrived at this hardcore punk sound.
It was about making enough money to be able to do another show. That was enough.
During these years — 1979, 1980, the beginning of 1981 — other bands from around North America would come to Minneapolis, and invariably we would be the opening band. They'd see us and they'd say, "You guys are really great. If you ever come to Vancouver, give us a call. If you ever come to San Francisco, give us a call." And once we had enough phone numbers together, we decided to try to book a tour. That took us up into Calgary, playing six nights at a sort of SRO hotel lounge, and then over to Vancouver for a week, Seattle for a week, Portland and then San Francisco for a couple weeks.
It was just this network of like-minded musicians. We all started in the vacuums in our hometowns, and once a few bands started touring, the information started to spread. There were fanzines like Maximumrocknroll that helped to spread the word. You know, this was all before the Internet. This was before cellphones, this was before any of this. You were very tethered to conventional telephones and maps, so things grew very organically; they grew very slowly.
And what was a night on the punk scene like? At a concert or something like that?
Well, I currently live in San Francisco, and in walking to do this interview I passed by what used to be Mabuhay Gardens, which was booked by a fellow named Dirk Dirksen. I think the first time Hüsker Dü played there would have been in August of 1981. We were one of five or six bands on the bill. It was a Wednesday night. We made $12.
A whopping $12.
And three plates of spaghetti and meatballs.
Which might have been more important than the money.
I think it was at the time. We had been in San Francisco for three or four days and had already gone down and gotten food stamps, so we were able to buy generic beer at the Safeway. But, yeah, it would be five or six bands, 10, 20 bucks, plate of food, and you'd just try to weasel your way onto a show on Friday night.
Was there a philosophy behind that? "We're not gonna charge big ticket prices; this is a scene that's open to anyone who is like-minded and wants to be involved"?
There was an idea to try to keep it affordable. I don't think there were any particular strict rules; it just happened that way. In Minneapolis, when a punk band would come through and they wanted to do an all-ages show, we would go and rent a VFW hall.
All ages, meaning all ages are welcome?
Yeah, all ages are welcome: no 18-plus, no 21-plus. A lot of the kids that were in that scene, they were kids — you know, they were 14-, 15-year-old skateboard kids. We would rent a VFW hall for 50 bucks. We'd rent a P.A. for 75 bucks. We'd spend 25 bucks on advertising, so that'd be $150. If you could get 200 people to pay five bucks, that's $1,000, and you can actually pay the touring band a bunch of money. And then they tell their friends, and you get more bands in your hometown that want to do that kind of thing, and it just sort of feeds on itself. It was about making enough money to be able to do another show. That was enough.
Did some of these nights get crazy dangerous?
I think everybody has a different definition of what danger is. The shows were very physical. The music was very loud, very violent music. When you get a bunch of kids with skateboards dancing in a circle really fast, throwing elbows and knees in the air as they're dancing and diving off the stage and knocking equipment over, you know, people come up bloody off the floor. But I don't know — it's not really that dangerous to me.
I guess it strikes me as dangerous. If you've been in that scene, maybe that's a normal night.
Yeah, other people have commented, "Don't you think that's strange?" I'm like, "Well, not really, 'cause that's, again, not unlike my childhood." That's sort of what I grew up with, so my baseline for "normal" is different, I suppose.
Some people think of the '80s, the Reagan years, as a happy time; I'm thinking of "Don't Worry, Be Happy." Where was the anger and loudness and frustration in your scene kind of coming from during that time?
Well, when you say the word "Reagan" — he was the coal that fueled that train of discontent for hardcore for so long. For me, as a not-out gay man in the early '80s, what the Reagan administration did — I guess, more importantly, what they didn't do — they couldn't say the words "AIDS" or "HIV" until the middle of 1985. So here I am, 20 years old, sexually aware but not out, confused, sometimes self-hating, with a president who cannot name the disease that may or may not kill me or my friends. That would be a source of anger for anybody.
Do you think there were a lot of other people in a similar position, who were gay but not out, who were part of that scene? Maybe larger numbers than we really know or think about?
In hindsight, yes — I think there were more gay and lesbian folk in that scene than we knew. Again, in the early '80s things were very different, very repressed. We didn't even have a concept of what a hate crime was. But the hardcore scene, and the punk scene, and art rock, and even the big haircut bands — you know, the Scritti Polittis, or people who liked New Order or The Smiths — we were all different. And we were all different together. So I think there was a safety in numbers. I often joke that in the military it was, "Don't ask, don't tell," and in the punk community it always felt like, "Don't advertise, don't worry." It was almost as if, if you were who you were, you were OK.
"Don't advertise, don't worry." Tell me more about that.
It's funny, because the look and the feel of hardcore punk was not that different from male prostitution in some ways. You know, the bandannas that would give off codes for whether you're active or passive or what type of sexual behavior you enjoy, that whole sort of pseudo-military look — all of that is almost bordering on gay fetish. But that was this accepted look for hardcore punk in the early '80s, so it was almost as if you could pass.
Pass as what?
You know, almost like people who dress a different gender. You're dressing as if you're in the military or you're a hustler, but you're actually a hardcore punk. So it's almost as if you could pass for any of them.
Were you able to have relationships with men during that time?
Little bits here and there, and then my first partner and I got together in April of '83 and we were together for six years. So, yeah, I was 22 when I had my first long-term relationship — and I guess by then, in Minneapolis, my sexuality was an open secret. But without the Internet, it's not getting posted on somebody else's social-media page right away, so it takes a little more time for the information to get around the country.
I want to play one Hüsker Dü song if we can and talk to you about it a little bit. Tell me what we're listening to here.
It's a song called "I Don't Know for Sure." I believe it was on the Candy Apple Grey album, which was March of '86, the first album that Hüsker Dü made for Warner Bros., a major label. That was our jump away from the independent music world of SST Records over to Warner Bros.
I listen to this and I feel like I could sing to it: It's hard, certainly, but there's also something melodic about it. As you experimented with more melody and more singable songs, did some of the crowds start to say you were leaving the true punk scene in a way?
You know, we fell into this hardcore punk sound, and we quickly moved away from the dogma — the strict sort of anarchy-slash-destroy-the-government thing. By 1985 with New Day Rising, as a songwriter I was already trying to be a bit of an older soul. I started thinking about time, the temporal nature of relationships, opening myself up more personally. By the time we got to "I Don't Know for Sure" off of Candy Apple Grey, punk rock had become "alternative rock"; it was on MTV all the time. It was just a natural progression.
Having said that, as far as people accusing Hüsker Dü of selling out or whatever, it was a pretty ferocious live band. If the records had been softened even one bit, all anybody had to do was come and see the band live and they'd recognize that there wasn't anything soft about it.
You guys were still hard as can be.
Yeah. I think compared to "Don't Worry, Be Happy," that was still pretty tough music.
I can imagine that time being frustrating: You were bringing alternative rock into commercial rock, sort of experimenting with a sound that was about to become much more popular — and then Hüsker Dü breaks up. How tough was that?
At the time, it was tough for different reasons. In the middle of 1986, right after Candy Apple Grey came out, I was 25 years old and made what I think was a pretty big life choice: I quit drinking. I had started drinking when I was 13 and I didn't miss a day until I quit at 25.
Being a touring musician, there's alcohol available 24 hours a day. You get to a club at 2 in the afternoon, you wait around 'til 5 o'clock to do your sound check, so in those three hours, you're sitting at a bar. What do you do? You drink. And then you've got all that time from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., and what do you do? You drink. I had found a place to work where I could continue drinking all day. So when I was 25, I just looked in the mirror and I said, "You know, this has to stop. I'm not gonna make it to 30 if I keep this up."
That same summer, the bass player in Hüsker Dü got married and moved away from the Twin Cities, down maybe an hour south, and we started seeing him a little bit less. And Grant Hart, the drummer, basically found a new set of friends separate from the band and started spending a lot more time with those other folks. You can see what was happening: three people that had this one reason to be together, and all of the other reasons had disappeared. The camaraderie, the mutual drinking and all that stuff that the band was built on, that was all falling apart.
Over the next 18 months, everybody really started to separate, started to pull away from the band. We were still touring, still making records and working hard, but it didn't feel like a band as much as it felt like a job at that point. And the beginning of 1988, we just closed up shop.
It wasn't long after you made these big decisions that Nirvana showed up and really exploded. Hüsker Dü had had the potential to go down that road, as well. Where was your head at during those years, watching other bands from your world start to take off?
When Hüsker Dü wrapped up in '88, I moved up to northern Minnesota. I bought a farm up there and sat more or less by myself for a year, relearning music and relearning how to write songs for myself. I had no friends; I'd cut myself off from everybody just to focus on my work. And out of that I came up with a solo album, Workbook, that came out in 1989.
Which is being re-released this year for its 25th anniversary. But a farm by yourself, no alcohol — I can't imagine a place more different from the underground punk scene.
Yeah, it was completely different, and I think you can hear the difference. I was looking for a new way to look at music, because the last thing that I wanted to do in 1988 was to emulate the band I had just been in. I just didn't want to use that language anymore, at least at that time.
I started listening to a lot of world music, a lot of folk music, Appalachian music. Started experimenting with open tunings, purchased a couple new guitars that sounded very different than anything I had in my collection. I started looking at words differently — less concerned with formal rhyme and meter and more experimenting with "through writing," just having a series of words or a short story in front of me and picking up a guitar and improvising and not being worried about four lines of this and two lines of that.
In 1990, I make a second solo record, Black Sheets of Rain. I move to New York City, end my first relationship, get dropped by Virgin Records after two records. I spend almost all of 1991 on the road with an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar, playing solo shows. I was touring a lot in Europe and I was playing these festivals with, you know, Sonic Youth, who I knew, and Nirvana, who I knew their music, obviously. It was funny to see these bands that had been either part of the hardcore scene or were affected by that music, being on this precipice of enormity. And especially, I guess, in the case of Nirvana, in the fall of '91, when Nevermind came out — a record I had been in contention to produce.
Oh, wow.
Music is such a circular thing. When Nevermind came out, that album changed the way people listen to music. A lot of the songs that I had been writing in 1991 led up to my next group, Sugar — and had it not been for Nevermind, I don't know if Sugar's Copper Blue would have stood a chance in '92. But people were now receptive to this sound.
You're saying some of your influence for Sugar came from Nirvana?
No, I'm saying the success of Nevermind re-tempered the ears of the listeners throughout the world. It was a heavy, punky record, but there was something about it that was so accessible that it opened up all these pathways for other musicians — myself included — to have our music heard.
As I listen to the new album, Beauty & Ruin, it sounds like you've experimented with lots of sounds — acoustic, electronic — and now you're going back to your musical roots.
Beauty & Ruin is the culmination of a lot of things that have happened over the past three years in my life. In 2011, I released my autobiography, See a Little Light. I was spending a lot of time doing readings and performances, where I would marry passages of the book with a group of songs to give people sort of an insight as to what it all means. I'd also done some work with the Foo Fighters: Dave Grohl gave me a call and had me come and sing and play guitar on a song on their album, and I got to do some shows with them, as sort of a walk-on guest at the end of the night.
In November of 2011, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, there was a tribute show to my songbook. Dave was a big part of that, as well as Ryan Adams, a group called No Age, Margaret Cho, Craig [Finn] and Tad [Kubler] from The Hold Steady, Britt [Daniel] from Spoon. It was an amazing night, and funny to see all these people assembled singing my songs back at me. In 2012, there were Sugar reissues, and then Silver Age, a new studio album. Things were really, really great in September of 2012 — I'm doing a lot of touring, Silver Age is taking off. And then my dad passes in October.
Of 2012?
Of 2012, yeah. And that, to me, was the marker that sets the stage for Beauty & Ruin. It was a "best of times, worst of times" kind of thing.
Well, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I wonder what that moment was like and how, as you say, it led to this album.
I had gotten a lot of good time with my dad in his last six months. We had a lot of really great conversations: a lot of pieces of the puzzle about his childhood and his history before I was born, things he didn't share much with me until then, that helped me understand why he was the person he was. And I think it meant a lot to him to be able to tell his story.
It was a long battle for him, lung cancer. And in the moment, of course you have to take care of your mother, be with your siblings, do the right thing, try to keep things moving forward. But for me, that was also the beginning of a 12-month writing process: writing music, gathering words, gathering ideas, waiting, waiting, waiting. And about nine months into the process, around June of 2013, I started to see the themes.
There's four basic themes to Beauty & Ruin: loss, reflection, acceptance and future. Those four "picture frames," as I call them, made themselves known to me. And once I had those four frames and I could see how to construct the story of the record, then it was just a matter of grabbing the snapshots and putting them in the right frames. Then the record fell into place pretty quickly.
There's a song called "The War" that you've said has something to do with your dad. Which frame does that song fit in?
That's the bridge between reflection and acceptance. It's the end of side one, which is always an important place on a record. It touches on my dad's battle at the end, and on life in general as a battle for all of us. I'm getting to that age where people around me are having a lot of health problems, and it touches on that, as well. It deals with a number of not-so-happy things, but I tried to wrap it in an uplifting melody. It seems to be my M.O. these days: the dark lyric and the happy melody.
For so many years, I ran away from my own sound, and other people took it and ran with it. Now, it's almost as if I've caught up with myself.
I guess I wondered if the war was, in some ways, between you and your father.
No, no. I mean, I gave up that war a long time ago. I think I closed that war up with Zen Arcade back in '83.
You turn from "The War" at the end of side one to "Forgiveness" at the beginning of side two. What is that transition, exactly?
"The War" is very, very dense, very electric, very layered, very visceral, sort of a spontaneous outburst. It literally was written in the studio: I sent the guys away one night and just holed up in the room, sort of took myself apart emotionally and then started putting myself back together with these words that I had written. It's a very energetic song that has a quiet resolve at the end.
If you were listening [on vinyl], you would have to get up at that point to flip over the record. And the beginning of side two, "Forgiveness," is a complete reset: very clean guitars, very crisp, measured drumming. And it's this song about forgiveness that's essentially built on the old saying, "It's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission."
Who are you forgiving?
Oh, I'm just working that axiom. It's nobody in particular.
But is that song, and is the whole album, personally cathartic in some way?
The autobiography was very cathartic. I think this record is just 12 months in the life, you know? Catharsis is an awful big word. You know, it's always capitalized and it always has two or three exclamation points after it — at least in my life. So I don't know if I want to pin the tail on this one with that word. It's a very personal record, and I'll take ownership of all the words, but I would like for listeners to be able to appreciate the shiny, metallic pop nature of it, as well.
Sometimes laying my meaning so heavily on a record, it may exclude some people. People may go, "Oh, my gosh, this might be too much for me on my drive to work." Hopefully, it's 36 minutes of pop music that can create a nice shine for people, as well as be this 12-month journey that I had. "Catharsis" makes it a little too exclusive, I think.
There's a song on the album called "Hey Mr. Grey," which has this image of an older guy, maybe about your age, yelling at kids to get off his lawn.
[Laughs.] Isn't that awesome?
It's pretty awesome. But what strikes me is that you might be this guy in your 50s yelling at kids to get off your lawn, but you're also rocking like you're 20-something.
I know. I love the contrast in this record — whether it's the title, whether it's the artwork, whether it's a song like "Hey Mr. Grey" that would actually take me more time to describe than it took me to write.
Why do you say that?
Because literally it took, like, two minutes. It's a continuation of the self-awareness that I exhibited with calling the previous album Silver Age; I can only laugh at my aging. And then, mentioning The Replacements' "Kids Don't Follow," that was an accident that I instantly recognized and said, "Oh, I'll leave that in."
Is it different playing this kind of hard music in your 50s, compared to in your 20s?
Physically, it's harder, yeah. I've done a lot of damage to my voice over the years, so I have to be a little more careful with it. My energy level is not as consistently high as it was when I was in my 20s. But the beauty of things like the Disney Hall tribute show or revisiting the Sugar material is that, for so many years, I ran away from my own sound, and other people took it and ran with it. Now, it's almost as if I've caught up with myself. And what the listener might perceive as, "Oh, he's going for the glory. He's going for that anger" — it's like, no, I'm actually having a great time. I'm having a good laugh on all this, because it's very clear what this is now.
You know, I'm getting up there. I can't do this forever. People like what I'm doing right now; they like it when I play fast, they like pop songs. I've challenged people for 35 years. I've made people follow me, jump through my hoops, try to figure out all these crazy twists and turns that I've taken. Now, we're at this moment where I have an amazing rhythm section — we sound great together, we have fun playing together, it's simple. It might not be like that in five years. So I'm just gonna go for it while it's working. I'm fully aware that at my age I should be coming up with some complicated opera, but that's really not who I am. I'm pretty much a meat-and-potatoes singer-songwriter.
You said the last of the four themes on Beauty & Ruin is "future." Not to give it away, but when you get to the end of the record, is there a sense that you figure out what's ahead?
I'm working on it. At least being conscious that there is a future, and that your future does end at some point, so it's fun to have possibilities. It's different for me; I'm growing into this "fun" thing, this "sense of humor" thing. It's all new. People are shocked by it. I'm just trying to lighten up a little bit.

Arlo Parks review: Sydney gig as gentle as a summer breeze
ARLO PARKS
Enmore Theatre, August 13
★★★
British singer-songwriter Anaïs Marinho, 22, releases music beneath the identify “Arlo Parks”, and if that seems like an idyllic spot excellent for picnics with associates in the summertime, then her music is the mild, buoyant soundtrack within the background, content material enjoying second fiddle to the dialog.
Not that there’s something flawed with that: music has all the time been about suiting completely different conditions – thumping techno for once you need to annoy the neighbours, jazz for once you need to seem cultured, steel for once you need to punch a gap in a wall – and creating a relaxing vibe for the low-key occasions definitely has its place.
The downside is when a musical temper is rigidly sustained to the purpose of inertia, which is the case for a lot of this present: the ocean of heads could calmly bob to at least one breezy tune after the opposite, however which means no massive waves are made, no boats are rocked.
The music itself, performed competently sufficient by a backing band of 4 musicians, veers a little bit too intently to ’80s straightforward listening, so easy and inoffensive that even a reasonably tame bass solo throughout Cola elicits a disproportionate variety of cheers from the group for sounding like “rocking out” compared to every part else.
Parks herself appears completely beautiful, relaxed and smiling and sort, with a soothing, stunning voice that calms nerves quite than frays them. But coupled with music that’s too even-keeled for its personal good, the outcomes as a rule are likely to veer towards prosaic quite than thrilling.
Loading
It’s telling that the one second of the evening that comes near inducing a goosebump or two comes throughout Angel’s Song when the band principally take a again seat, Parks singing with only a guitar for accompaniment and proving her voice is way extra highly effective and affecting minus the funk-lite backing.
The overwhelming majority of the hyped crowd, nevertheless, seems to be loving each second regardless, and through punchier, poppier songs like Caroline, Hurt and Too Good, it’s a little bit simpler to purchase into the keenness and see how Parks bagged herself the Mercury Prize for final 12 months’s debut album, Collapsed In Sunbeams.
Even with solely an incrementally greater quantity of vigour and vitality than what has come earlier than, ultimate tune Softly does job of getting the group leaping, however does a fair higher one among summing up tonight with its title: a gig as mild as a summer time breeze you can admire within the second, however largely overlook about as soon as it’s over. | https://thewall.fyi/arlo-parks-review-sydney-gig-as-gentle-as-a-summer-breeze/ | 2022-08-14T02:43:52Z | https://thewall.fyi/arlo-parks-review-sydney-gig-as-gentle-as-a-summer-breeze/ | false | 1 |
Meteor hitting atmosphere is ‘likely’ cause for loud boom heard in Utah and Idaho, officials say
By Rebekah Riess and Sara Smart, CNN
A high-altitude meteor which blew up when it hit the atmosphere “is likely the best theory” for a loud boom heard across portions of northern Utah and southern Idaho on Saturday, said Utah Gov. Spencer Cox.
Cox, a Republican, said in a tweet he heard a loud boom while he was running in Salt Lake City early Saturday morning.
“We have confirmed it was not seismic/earthquake and not related to our military instillations,” his tweet continued.
The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City shared a screenshot of a radar map on Twitter showing two pink and red pixels over Davis and Morgan counties in Utah.
The agency said the pixels are “not associated with evidence of thunderstorm activity in satellite or radar,” but they are likely a result of the meteor trail and flash.
Utah residents took to social media to share their videos capturing the loud boom heard in the area Saturday morning. One video, recorded by the Snowbasin Ski Resort’s web camera, captured the meteor streaking across the sky.
Residents in Salt Lake City and South Jordan, which is about 20 minutes to the south, told CNN they heard the boom. Doorbell and home cameras recorded the sound from 8:30 a.m. to 8:32 a.m.
The meteor sighting took place at the tail end of the peak of Perseid meteor shower, which took occurred from Thursday through Saturday. This year’s barely visible peak happened at 11 p.m. ET Friday and the shower is active between July 14 and September 1, according to EarthSky.

Exclusive! Mohammad Nazim Has THIS To Say About His Viral Laptop & Green Tea Memes In Saath Nibhaana Saathiya
Mohammad Nazim, who shot to fame with the role of Ahem Modi in the show Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, recently opened up about his viral laptop and green tea memes from his show that grabbed everyone's attention on the internet. For the unversed, in the first season of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, Gopi Bahu (Gia Manek) was seen washing his laptop and Ahem was consuming green tea. Both the scenes are hilarious.
Recently, in an exclusive conversation with Filmibeat, Mohammad Nazim spoke about his viral scenes. The actor said, "My favourite scene is when the laptop is being cleaned and green tea is being consumed. Since social media usage was non-existent and even Instagram hadn't even been founded at the time we shot those precise sequences, I had no idea the scenes I was acting in would one day become so well-known. And when I saw that these films were gaining popularity, I was excited to see that people were enjoying them and showing me so much support."
Interestingly, the actor also revealed that they laughed a few times when they were filming the scenes. Mohammad Nazim said, "We had no idea that it would one day go on to become so well-known at that time. When people email me these memes, I become happier like never before. I always had a smile on my face, and to be very honest, even now, I still get emails almost every day with these pictures from people who see me out and about or at the gym."
After wrapping up Tera Mera Saath Rahe, Mohammad Nazim has decided to take some time to do something new and is not interested in taking a break. Talking about his career, the actor also acted in shows such as Shaurya Aur Suhani, Kundali Bhagya, Laal Ishq, Udaan, Roop - Mard Ka Naya Swaroop, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya 2 and so on. | https://www.filmibeat.com/television/news/2022/exclusive-mohammad-nazim-has-this-to-say-about-viral-laptop-green-tea-memes-saath-nibhaana-saathiya-339089.html | 2022-08-14T02:52:24Z | https://www.filmibeat.com/television/news/2022/exclusive-mohammad-nazim-has-this-to-say-about-viral-laptop-green-tea-memes-saath-nibhaana-saathiya-339089.html | true | 1 |
Chandigarh, August 13
After the outbreak of lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle in Punjab, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, the UT Department of Animal
Husbandry has geared up to handle any eventuality and outbreak of the fatal disease in villages under its jurisdiction.
Palika Arora, Director, Animal Husbandry, said to combat the disease, an advisory had been issued to all livestock owners as well as the MOH, Municipal Corporation (MC), for taking all preventive measures in villages and MC gaushalas.
She said the department had constituted three rapid response teams headed by veterinary officers for round-the-clock surveillance. “A door-to-door campaign has been launched to make livestock owners aware of the disease and to take preventive measures such as control of animal movement, restriction with affected animals, maintaining hygiene, etc,” she added.
Arora advised livestock owners to report to the nearest veterinary hospital immediately in case of unusual mortality and sickness in cattle. She said samples of infected animals collected by rapid response teams from different villages were sent to the Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Jalandhar for confirmation of the disease. | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/chandigarh/admn-gears-up-to-combat-disease-421828 | 2022-08-14T02:57:59Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/chandigarh/admn-gears-up-to-combat-disease-421828 | true | 1 |
Showers and storms returning to the Western Slope
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Showers and thunderstorms were a bit more widespread across the Western Slope this afternoon, with even some light showers making into Grand Junction through the early evening hours. Any remaining showers and thunderstorms will continue to come to an end across the region through the rest of the evening and into the overnight hours. Partly cloudy to mostly clear skies settle in from there with overnight lows falling into the 60s.
Rain chances will gradually get higher by the end of the weekend and into the opening half of next week. We’ll see scattered showers and thunderstorms popping up once again by Sunday afternoon with high temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Rain chances will continue to improve into Monday and Tuesday, with widespread showers and thunderstorms both afternoons across the Western Slope. Some of the rain could be heavy at times as well. The increased cloud coverage and rain chances will turn us cooler, with highs only breaking the lower and middle 80s. We’ll start to dry out just a little bit on Wednesday, but we’ll still track some showers and thunderstorms by the afternoon. Highs will still be in the lower and middle 80s.
We’ll dry out quite a bit on Thursday with highs returning to the middle and upper 80s to lower 90s with partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. Some smaller rain chances could return to the region yet again by the end of the work week and into the following weekend with highs in the middle to upper 80s.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s military pounded residential areas across Ukraine overnight, claiming gains, as Ukrainian forces pressed a counteroffensive to try to take back an occupied southern region, striking the last working bridge over a river in the Russian-occupied Kherson region, Ukrainian authorities said Saturday.
A Russian rocket attack on the city of Kramatorsk killed three people and wounded 13 others Friday night, according to the mayor. Kramatorsk is the headquarters for Ukrainian forces in the country’s war-torn east.
The attack came less than a day after 11 other rockets were fired at the city, one of the two main Ukrainian-held ones in Donetsk province, the focus of an ongoing Russian offensive to capture eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.
The Russian Defense Ministry claimed Saturday its forces had taken control of Pisky, a village on the outskirts of the city of Donetsk, the provincial capital that pro-Moscow separatists have controlled since 2014.
Russian troops and the Kremlin-backed rebels are trying to seize Ukrainian-held areas north and west of the city of Donetsk to expand the separatists’ self-proclaimed republic. But the Ukrainian military said Saturday that its forces had prevented an overnight advance toward the smaller cities of Avdiivka and Bakhmut.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov also claimed that Russian strikes near Kramatorsk, 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of Donetsk city, destroyed a U.S.-supplied multiple rocket launcher and ammunition. Ukrainian authorities did not acknowledge any military losses but said Russian missile strikes Friday on Kramatorsk had destroyed 20 residential buildings.
Neither claim could be independently verified.
The Ukrainian governor of neighboring Luhansk province, part of the Donbas region that was overrun by Russian forces last month, claimed that Ukrainian troops still held a small area in the province. Writing on Telegram, Luhansk Gov. Serhii Haidai said the defending troops were holed up inside an oil refinery on the edge of Lysychansk, a city that Moscow claimed to have captured, and also control areas near a village.
“The enemy is burning the ground at the entrances to the Luhansk region because it cannot overcome (Ukrainian resistance along) these few kilometers,” Haidai said. “It is difficult to count how many thousands of shells this territory of the free Luhansk region has withstood over the past month and a half.”
Further west, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region reported more Russian shelling of the city of Nikopol, which lies across the Dnieper River from Europe’s largest nuclear power plant.
Gov. Yevhen Yevtushenko did not specify whether Russian troops had fired at Nikopol from the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Writing on Telegram, he said Saturday that there were no casualties but residential buildings, a power line and a gas pipeline were damaged.
Nikopol has undergone daily bombardment for most of the past week, and a volley of shells killed three people and damaged 40 apartment buildings on Thursday, he said.
Russia and Ukrainian officials have accused each other of shelling the Zaporizhzhia plant in contravention of nuclear safety rules. Russian troops have occupied the plant since the early days of Moscow’s invasion, although the facility’s Ukrainian nuclear workers continue to run it.
Ukrainian military intelligence alleged Saturday that Russian troops were shelling the plant from a village just kilometers away, damaging a plant pumping station and a fire station. The intelligence directorate said the Russians had bused people into the power plant and mounted a Ukrainian flag on a gun on the outskirts of Enerhodar, the city where the plant is located.
“Obviously, it will be used for yet another provocation to accuse the armed forces of Ukraine,” the directorate said, without elaborating.
Ukrainian officials have repeatedly alleged that Russian forces were using the plant as a shield while firing at Ukrainian communities across the river, knowing that Ukrainian forces were unlikely to fire back for fear of triggering a nuclear accident.
They said Russian shelling on Friday night killed one woman and injured two other civilians in the city of Zaporizhzhia. Ukraine’s southern Mykolayiv region also said a woman died there in shelling.
For several weeks, Ukraine’s military has tried to lay the groundwork for a counteroffensive to reclaim southern Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Kherson region. A local Ukrainian official reported Saturday that a Ukrainian strike had damaged the last working bridge over the Dnieper River in the region, further crippling Russian supply lines.
“The Russians no longer have any capability to fully turn over their equipment,” Serhii Khlan, a deputy to the Kherson Regional Council, wrote on Facebook.
The British Defense Ministry said Saturday that damage to bridges across the Dnieper means that “ground resupply for the several thousand Russian troops on the west bank is almost certainly reliant on just two pontoon ferry crossing points.”
“Even if Russia manages to make significant repairs to the (damaged) bridges, they will remain a key vulnerability,” the British said.
On Saturday, the deputy director of the Russian-controlled Kakhovka hydropower plant 60 kilometers (37 miles) upriver from the city of Kherson said one of its generating units was out of service after a Ukrainian missile strike. Arseniy Zelenskyy said further strikes could endanger the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant because its water intakes use the reservoir formed by the Kakhovka plant’s dam.
Days after explosions at a Russian air base in Crimea destroyed up to a dozen aircraft, a Ukrainian presidential adviser said Kyiv should make retaking the Black Sea peninsula that Moscow annexed in 2014 one of its goals of the war.
“Russia started a war against Ukraine and the world in 2014, with its brazen seizure of Crimea. It is obvious that this war should end with the liberation of Crimea,” Mykhailo Podoylak, the head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office, wrote Saturday on Twitter. “And also with the legal punishment of the initiators of the ‘special military operation’” — the Kremlin’s term for its war in Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials have not claimed responsibility for the explosions Tuesday at the Saki air base in Crimea. Russian defense officials have denied any aircraft were damaged — or that any attack even took place — attributing the blasts to on-site munitions that exploded. | https://tylerpaper.com/russian-shelling-heavy-in-east-ukraine-strikes-key-bridge/article_6706f332-1b71-11ed-97aa-8362049cb722.html | 2022-08-14T03:25:48Z | https://tylerpaper.com/russian-shelling-heavy-in-east-ukraine-strikes-key-bridge/article_6706f332-1b71-11ed-97aa-8362049cb722.html | false | 24 |
A Keene man was transported to Cheshire Medical Center for a face injury following a head-on collision between two cars in Keene Friday.
Keene Police Sergeant Thaddeus Derendal said Saturday that Charles Lord, 68, was the passenger of a 2019 Kia Soul operated by Karina Robinson-Hill of Swanzey, 34, that collided with Keene resident Lauren Hale, 23, driving a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan.
According to Derendal, Robinson-Hill was traveling westbound on Gilbo Avenue around 6 p.m., while Hale was traveling eastbound, also on Gilbo Avenue. Both drivers were attempting to turn onto School Street when the two vehicles hit.
Derendal added that the vehicles were heavily damaged in the crash and were towed from the scene.
Hale was transporting an infant in her car, but neither of them sustained any injury. Robinson-Hill was also uninjured.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The need for Louisiana to replace its voting machines is not in dispute.
They are badly outdated — deployed in 2006, the year after Hurricane Katrina struck — and do not produce paper ballots that are critical to ensuring election results are accurate.
What to do about them is another story.
The long-running drama includes previous allegations of bid-rigging, voting machine companies claiming favoritism and a secretary of state who is noncommittal about having a new system in place for the 2024 presidential election.
Local election clerks also worry about the influence of conspiracy theorists who have peddled unfounded claims about voting equipment and have been welcomed into the debate over new machines.
“It would be a travesty to let a minority of people who have little to no experience in election administration tear down an exceptional process that was painstakingly built over many, many years,” Calcasieu Parish Clerk of Court Lynn Jones told state officials in a meeting this summer. “And for us to throw it out of the window because of unfounded theories is mind-boggling.”
The uncertainty is playing out against a backdrop of attacks on the integrity of elections, fueled by former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him and promoted by a web of his allies and supporters. Some of those same supporters have been trying to convince election officials across the country that they should ditch machines in favor of paper ballots and hand-counts.
Whatever success they have had so far has been limited primarily to GOP-dominated rural counties. But in Louisiana, a heavily Republican state that Trump won by nearly 20 percentage points, they have managed to insert themselves into an already long-delayed process of choosing a new statewide voting system.
Louisiana officials have been trying for at least four years to replace their outdated touchscreen voting machines. Although some counties in four other states still use the machines, Louisiana is the only one where they are in place statewide — some 10,000 in all.
The machines’ main problem, aside from their age and the challenge of finding replacement parts, is that votes are recorded electronically without a paper record of each voter’s selections. That means if a result is in dispute, there are no individual paper ballots to review to ensure the outcome was accurate. Under a new state law, Louisiana’s next voting system must have a paper trail of ballots cast so election results can be properly audited.
“The problem in Louisiana is that if someone were to allege the voting machines had been hacked, there would be no conclusive evidence to rebut that,” said Mark Lindeman, director of Verified Voting, which tracks the use of voting equipment in the United States. “It leaves election officials to prove a negative.”
While election clerks agree the machines are antiquated and there is a need for a paper record, the equipment does not appear to have caused any major problems in recent years.
In 2018, the nation’s top homeland security and cybersecurity officials urged states to replace any remaining voting systems without a paper trail to improve security and increase public confidence. Congress allocated $805 million before the 2020 election to help states pay for security upgrades, including new equipment.
Louisiana officials, in a 2018 report to the federal agency disbursing the money, said they planned to use the state’s share to cover the costs of “a new electronic voting system” and noted the state had already begun the procurement process.
But that same year, the contract was voided amid allegations of bid-rigging. In 2021, Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin shelved another replacement attempt after the process was challenged by voting machine companies that claimed favoritism for the state’s current vendor, Dominion Voting Systems.
Following the 2020 presidential election, Dominion was ensnared in a web of conspiracy theories pushed by Trump and his allies, claiming their voting machines were rigged to steal the election. The company has pushed back, filing defamation lawsuits against conservative media outlets and Trump allies, including MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
The false claims have taken root in conservative communities, where local officials have been pressured to stop using computer equipment for casting and counting ballots. Nearly two years after the last presidential election, no evidence of any widespread fraud or manipulation of voting machines has surfaced, and courts have rejected dozens of court cases filed by Trump and his allies.
Last December, Phil Waldron — a retired Army colonel who circulated a PowerPoint presentation offering suggestions for how to overturn the 2020 election — was invited to speak to the commission tasked with recommending the new voting system for Louisiana. Waldron gave a 90-minute presentation focusing on counting paper ballots by hand, according to The Washington Post.
More recently, Lindell, one of the most prominent supporters of ditching election machines and counting every ballot by hand, traveled to Baton Rouge to testify before the same commission.
At a June meeting at the Capitol, Ardoin set aside rules limiting public testimony to three minutes per person so Lindell could address the commission at length. During his 17-minute address, Lindell detailed his national quest against “corrupted” voting systems and “stolen” elections.
“We lose everything if we keep even one machine moving forward,” Lindell told the commission. He went on to describe Louisiana as “the tip of the spear” in his efforts to end the use of voting machines across the country.
At the meeting, multiple clerks said they were opposed to what Lindell was advocating — having every voter fill out a paper ballot and having every ballot counted by hand, a process that would involve tens of thousands of ballots in the most populous counties.
“Don’t mistake not wanting to go back to a pen-and-paper as not wanting to have an auditable vote trail,” said David Ditch, the clerk of court for Iberia Parish. “Everybody — every political persuasion and everybody that comes into my office — says the same thing, ‘We love the way we vote now. We just wish we had something to prove it in the end.’”
The commission ultimately voted to recommend the use of either hand-marked or machine-marked ballots or a combination of the two, and for the state to keep electronic tabulators for counting ballots. Commissioners, including Adroin, voted in favor of machine-scanned vote tallies — not hand-counts.
The next move is Ardoin’s.
A Republican first elected in 2018, he has defended the state’s elections as secure even as he has handed a megaphone to some of the most prominent election conspiracy theorists.
In response to written questions, his office said Ardoin was “currently reviewing the commission’s recommendations and will work with his staff as those recommendations relate to the next steps in acquisition of a new voting system.”
When asked whether the goal was to have a new voting system in place before the 2024 presidential election, Ardoin’s office said it was “difficult at this time to say what the timetable will be” but that two years is “probably the closest estimate.”
At a gathering in July of the nation’s top state election officials, Ardoin raised the issue of hand-marked paper ballots while dismissing hand-counting as something that would “extend elections over years.”
His remarks prompted a fellow Republican, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill, to tell the group that he had once served as an international observer in Russia and had seen hand-counting up close.
“If you’d like to have an orientation about how that goes, that is the easiest way to cheat that you can introduce to anybody,” Merrill told attendees. “I can assure you that’s not a direction that you want to go. The people that are promoting that are ignorant or ill-informed, period.” | https://www.wjbf.com/news/national/ap-us-news/conspiracies-complicate-voting-machine-debate-in-louisiana/ | 2022-08-14T03:35:03Z | https://www.wjbf.com/news/national/ap-us-news/conspiracies-complicate-voting-machine-debate-in-louisiana/ | false | 27 |
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Even though the Carolina Panthers are another day closer to announcing a starting quarterback before the beginning of the regular season, the first exhibition game did not do much to drastically change the status of the competition.
Sam Darnold threw a touchdown pass and Baker Mayfield was solid aside from a fumbled snap in Carolina’s 23-21 preseason-opening victory Saturday at the Washington Commanders.
Even if Mayfield appears to be the favorite after the Panthers traded for him and based on training camp, neither he nor Darnold separated himself in the race that might still take some more time to be decided before Week 1, Sept. 11 against Cleveland.
“Our mentality is best suited to just put our heads down and go to work,” Mayfield said. “Just trying to improve each day, and the best man’s going to win.”
Mayfield started and completed four of seven passes for 45 yards. He scurried for 3 yards on one play and botched the exchange with center Pat Elflein just inside the red zone, contributing to the first drive stalling and ending with a field goal.
Darnold took over with Carolina in the red zone after a fumble by Washington’s Antonio Gibson and completed a play-action fade pass under pressure to Rashard Higgins for an 8-yard TD. Darnold went back out for a second drive, threw incomplete on third down and finished 2 of 3 for 16 yards.
“They were both in command,” coach Matt Rhule said. “Sam got us in the end zone, Baker led us down the field, so it looked like both guys played well in terms of production. We’ll go back and look and see where they are.”
Rhule has said he doesn’t want to rush into making the wrong choice.
“It’s just understanding doing everything that I can with every play that I have,” Darnold said. “That’s really all I focus on when I’m out there playing.”
Mayfield and Darnold operated an offense missing running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver D.J. Moore, who were among the Carolina players held out. Rhule said Moore was dealing with a sore shoulder.
There’s no QB competition in Washington for the first time in years, and Carson Wentz looked good in his debut for the franchise that played its first game as the Commanders.
In his first exhibition action with his third different NFL team in as many years, Wentz was 10 of 13 for 74 yards and led a 14-play, 82-yard drive that culminated in a touchdown run by rookie Brian Robinson Jr.
“It was good to get out here and not be booed and have some fun,” Wentz said. “It wasn’t perfect, but it was good to kind of get our feet wet a little bit offensively.”
QBS OF THE FUTURE?
The Commanders and Panthers each had a rookie quarterback who could be part of the future get some second-half snaps. Washington’s Sam Howell impressed more than Carolina’s Matt Corral.
Howell, once a projected top-10 pick who fell to the fifth round after his junior season at North Carolina, took over for Taylor Heinicke early in the third quarter and was 9 of 16 for 143 yards. He also juked out a few defenders on a 17-yard touchdown run, his first of two before a 2-point-conversion that put Washington up with 2:26 left.
Corral, a third-rounder out of Mississippi, entered in the fourth quarter and was 1 of 9 for 11 yards but also led the drive that ended with Zane Gonzalez’s 45-yard go-ahead field goal in the final minute.
GIBSON FUMBLING CONTINUES
Gibson fumbled on his second carry of the game, continuing a troubling trend that worsened last season. Gibson fumbled six times and lost the ball four of those times in 2021, his second NFL season, and his struggles to stay fully healthy led Washington to look for a running back high in the draft.
Robinson, that choice as a third-round pick out of Alabama, impressed in relief of Gibson. He rushed six times for 26 yards, including an 8-yard TD run, and caught two passes for 15 yards.
“I thought Brian kind of showed why we drafted him,” coach Ron Rivera said. “He’s got that downhill physical presence on the inside.”
UP NEXT
Panthers: Visit the New England Patriots on Friday.
Commanders: Visit the Kansas Chiefs next Saturday.

Are Cowboys hinting that Michael Gallup will play sooner than later?
Michael Gallup didn’t have the best injury luck last season. He suffered a calf injury in Week 1 and didn’t return until Week 10. Then Gallup went down with a torn ACL in Week 17.
The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver is expected to miss some time at the start of the season, but he may return sooner than people think.
Former NFL scout Bryan Broaddus and Bobby Belt discussed the Cowboys' wide receiver situation on Audacy's Love of the Star podcast.
“Stephen Jones, people you talk to, they’re not concerned about the wide receiver thing,” Broaddus said (3:30 in player above). "That’s a hint to me, Bobby, – and I need to do more research on this – that’s a hint to me that Michael Gallup is further along than maybe we all know.
“If Stephen Jones and others are saying ‘listen, you guys are overreacting to this wide receiver thing,’ then that tells me that they feel good enough about what Noah Brown’s been able to do,” he continued. “I think Noah Brown’s played really, really well in this camp.”
Broaddus also specifically mentioned KaVontae Turpin and Jalen Tolbert as young wide receivers that have impressed. Of course, the Cowboys also have tight end Dalton Schultz and running back Tony Pollard to help in the passing game.
“If that’s the confidence you have, that’s kinda telling me that maybe Michael Gallup is not gonna miss four games,” Broaddus said. “Maybe Michael Gallup misses one game, the Tampa game, and then we see him for Cincinnati.”
The former NFL scout said that he has to do more research on it, but that’s the sense he’s getting. The Cowboys may also look to pick up a wide receiver after the first or second round of cuts, but that may not be necessary.
“They’ve got this vibe that Gallup will be back sooner than later, that’s why they’re not worried.”

- Pfizer and Moderna are working to develop new vaccines targeting BA.4 and BA.5, following the FDA’s recommendation of including an Omicron component in COVID-19 booster vaccines for the 2022 fall and winter seasons.
- While mRNA vaccines continue to be effective in providing protection against severe outcomes from COVID-19, research shows that immunity can wane over time.
- If you are wondering whether to get another COVID-19 vaccine shot now or wait for the updated formula, here are the things you should consider, according to health and medical experts.
All data and statistics are based on publicly available data at the time of publication. Some information may be out of date. Visit our coronavirus hub for the most recent information on the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of infection, hospitalization, and death caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While mRNA vaccines continue to provide durable protection against severe outcomes from all COVID-19 variants, data shows that immunity against emerging variants can wane over time.
The
However, current booster shots use the same formulations as the original COVID-19 vaccines for the alpha variant.
The
Pfizer and Moderna have announced the development of new vaccines targeting BA.4 and BA.5 to be ready for distribution by fall.
Some may wonder whether to get a booster shot this summer or wait for the updated shots. To help answer some of the key questions, Medical News Today spoke with six experts across multiple medical fields, including immunology, microbiology, and critical care.
“Those who have medical conditions that predispose them to severe COVID perhaps should not wait,” noted Dr. Fady Youssef, a board certified pulmonologist, internist, and critical care specialist at MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center in Long Beach, California. “With the current variant gaining dominance and showing its high transmissibility now may be the best time to get a second booster.”
Nicola Stonehouse, Ph.D. FRSB FRSA, Professor in Molecular Virology at the University of Leeds, told MNT:
“If eligible, it is always a good idea to take the opportunity of an additional vaccine dose. It is especially important for older people and those who are clinically vulnerable.”
“Although SARS-CoV2 is not my direct area of research, I personally got a booster because of the rise of the variants,” said Brian J. Akerley, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at the Center for Immunology and Microbial Research at the University of Mississippi. “Basic principles of immunology would indicate that boosting can increase antibody and T-cell responses against parts of the spike protein that are similar in multiple variants.”
“I would have preferred a booster corresponding to the most prevalent variant, but prevention only works if done in advance. Given persistently high transmission rates and the growing evidence of long-term health effects even after the resolution of COVID, I think it is common sense to get some protection before one gets infected, rather than gambling on avoiding exposure while waiting for an improved vaccine,” Prof. Akerley added.
“If people haven’t been vaccinated yet, they should go ahead and get the immunization,” John Bates, Ph.D., Scientific Director at the Human Immunology and Inflammation Biomarker Core Laboratory at the University of Mississippi told MNT, “If a person has been vaccinated, to include the recommended booster dose(s), then they should wait.”
MNT spoke with Dr. Dana Hawkinson, infectious diseases and medical director of infection prevention and control at the University of Kansas Health System.
“If you have had an infection, you likely have gained what many call ‘hybrid immunity,’ which includes vaccination and infection. Infection also helps you garner immunity to other parts of the virus, not just spike, which is the component of the vaccines,” Dr. Hawkinson said.
“Nonetheless, the recommendation is that if it has been more than 4 months from your last vaccine dose/booster, you should get the second booster if you are over 50 years old or immunocompromised,” he explained.
“If you have had the infection, there is still a recommendation to get a booster if you fall into the category of requiring a booster. You may get the vaccine dose as soon as your isolation ends from the acute infection; however, waiting 2-3 months is reasonable too,” Dr. Hawkinson added.
Dr. Bates explained that waiting for the updated shots may be a good idea for certain individuals with recent vaccination or natural infection. However, unvaccinated individuals, whether they had previously contracted the SARS-CoV-2 virus or not, are recommended to get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.
“If someone is 3-6 months out from the last recommended dose of vaccine, then they don’t need another vaccination,” explained Dr. Bates, “However, even if an unvaccinated person was previously infected, it would be best for them to get the vaccine now.”
“Viruses have evolved ways to evade the immune response, and respiratory viruses, in particular, have long been known to re-infect previously infected individuals. Vaccines, by contrast, are designed to elicit strong immune responses to provide (hopefully) longer-lasting immunity,” he noted.
Dr. Youssef agrees that the advice differs for people who have yet to receive their first doses of the COVID-19 vaccines.
“People who get COVID and are unvaccinated have a higher likelihood of getting COVID again when compared to those who had COVID and got vaccinated,” said Dr. Youssef, “In addition, it seems this current variant evades the immunity that many have had from the prior infections. The CDC recommends waiting 3 months after an infection.”
“We know that [currently available COVID vaccines are] suboptimal against the currently circulating Omicron variants, however, protection against severe disease is still achieved. As such, booster immunization is recommended,” Jorg Fritz, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Immunology at McGill University, told MNT.
Other experts MNT spoke with agree.
“The vaccines are safe and effective, so I think the pros greatly outweigh the cons,” noted Dr. Bates, “During the Omicron wave early this year, the vast majority of individuals who died from infection or who became severely ill were unvaccinated. Vaccination greatly reduces the likelihood for a negative outcome following infection.”
“The safety of the vaccines is well documented. There are very few cons associated with the vaccines. The pros, especially those for over 60 and/or with chronic illnesses, are great. Being up-to-date with your vaccines will offer you the best chance at preventing hospitalization and severe disease.”
– Dr. Dana Hawkinson
“The clinical data show that the elderly have a much higher risk of severe illness and death,” said Dr. Bates, “It’s particularly important that older individuals be vaccinated to prevent the likelihood of severe illness or death following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Similarly, if a person is immune compromised, vaccination will maximize the body’s ability to fight infection should that person become infected.”
“If someone works in a high risk industry or a high exposure industry, I would say to check with their primary care physician about when is the right time for them to get a booster,” added Dr. Youssef.
“People that had severe side effects or negative reactions upon vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines should discuss options with their healthcare providers, but everyone else is recommended to get the booster shot,” said Dr. Fritz.
“No boosters are recommended for those under 5,” noted Dr. Hawkinson.
“New variants are still arising, and the length of protection is not as long as we’d like, but vaccination is the reason that the pandemic didn’t claim more lives,” said Dr. Stonehouse, “COVID-19 infection can still be very serious, especially in pregnancy.”
“During the Omicron wave, vaccines did a great job of preventing severe illness and death despite significant changes in the Omicron variant relative to the vaccine strain, so even with changes in the virus, the vaccines are effective,” said Dr. Bates.
“Most of the published data have examined the effects of changes in the virus on the efficacy of the antibody response to vaccination. However, T cells are also important in responding to infection and likely account for the reduced severity of illness in vaccinated individuals who are infected with one of the newer variants.”
– John Bates, Ph.D.
“If your last shot was more than 6 months ago and you are 60+ or immunocompromised, it is strongly recommended to get the booster shot now,” concluded Dr. Fritz, “The booster still protects from severe disease.”
“It feels like it is never-ending,” said Dr. Youssef, “But the only thing within our control is how to protect ourselves and our loved ones. I would adhere to the CDC guidelines, and if one is eligible for a booster now they should get it.” | https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/should-i-get-a-covid-19-booster-now-or-wait-experts-answer-key-questions | 2022-08-14T03:49:18Z | https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/should-i-get-a-covid-19-booster-now-or-wait-experts-answer-key-questions | true | 1 |

Ashton Kutcher opened up about his facial hair transformation for his latest movie Vengeance.
via People:
In the movie, Kutcher’s character, rural Texas music producer Quentin Sellers, has a pencil-thin mustache. “This character, when I first saw it, I was like, ‘This is interesting.’ He kinda had this Boss Hog vibe to him,” Kutcher recalled, remembering such “bad guys” with thin mustaches in Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit. “I was like, ‘Alright, I think this guy has got, like, this air of sophistication.’ “
“Then my wife had to deal with it and that was all fun,” Kutcher said of Kunis, 38.
When asked by Grier, 66, how she took his facial hair, Kutcher said Kunis was very accepting. “We’ve been together for seven years, so when I brought home the mustache she was like, ‘Oh it’s like a different guy!'” Kutcher said.
As for the movie itself, Vengeance marks BJ Novak‘s first time as star and director. “BJ had this amazing screenplay that he wrote and he came to me and he was like, ‘Hey, I’m gonna direct this thing, this is going to be my directorial debut and there’s a role I want you to play,'” Kutcher said.
After reading the script, Kutcher was impressed and agreed to join the project. He added, “It was one of the best scripts I’ve read in like a decade because I think it captured exactly where America is right now.”
Kutcher also explained the movie in his own words: “It’s about a New York podcaster that goes to southwest Texas to basically prove to everybody how dumb they are and he gets a lesson along the way.” The actor said the movie is “beautiful, but very funny.”
Besides Vengeance, Kutcher has another long-awaited project coming out soon: Netflix’s spin-off show of That ’70s Show — That ’90s Show.
The actor starred on That ’70s Show from 1998 to 2006 alongside Kunis, Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Wilmer Valderrama, Danny Masterson, Debra Jo Rupp, Kurtwood Smith, Tanya Roberts, Don Stark, Lisa Robin Kelly and Tommy Chong.
That ’90s Show will center on Leia (Callie Haverda), the daughter of ’70sleads Eric Forman (Grace) and Donna Pinciotti’s (Prepon), as she visits her grandparents Kitty (Rupp) and Red Forman (Smith) for the summer. Naturally, Kutcher, Kunis and Valderrama are set to make special guest appearances.
During a previous Vengeance red carpet, Kutcher shared that he and Kunis sat down for a conversation before they signed on to revisit their characters.
“Mila and I were contemplating it,” he told Variety. “We thought, ‘Listen, we’re only in the position that we’re in because of that show, so let’s just go back and do this. We just went back and had fun for a week. It was so random and fun.'”
Noting that the “new cast is phenomenal,” he added, “It was really nostalgic to be back on the set. It’s all the same folks that made That ’70s Show, so it was pretty bizarre.”
While no premiere date for That ’90s Show has been set, Vengeance is currently in theaters.

The Prime Minister’s Office says Justin Trudeau will accompany the chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, on a brief Canadian visit later this month that will include stops in Montréal, Toronto and Stephenville in western Newfoundland.
In a statement released Saturday, the PMO confirmed the Aug. 21-23 visit starts in Montreal, where meetings will be held with German and Canadian business leaders, and a tour is scheduled at an artificial intelligence institute.
The two men will then head to Toronto, where Trudeau will take part in the virtual summit about Russia’s annexation of Crimea, followed by an appearance at the Canada-Germany Business Forum.
The trip will conclude with a stop in Stephenville, N.L., where Trudeau and Scholz will attend a hydrogen trade show.
The statement says the two men intend to talk about clean energy, critical minerals, the automotive sector, energy security, climate change, trade and Russia’s “illegal and unjustifiable invasion” of Ukraine.
The prime minister and chancellor last met in June at the G7 Summit in Germany.

Argentina record their biggest-ever win over Australia, beating the Wallabies 48-17; watch Australia host South Africa (6.30am) and then New Zealand take on Argentina (8.45am) on August 27 in the next round of matches, live on Sky Sports
Last Updated: 13/08/22 10:59pm
Highlights of the Rugby Championship clash between Argentina and Australia.
Thomas Gallo scored two tries as Argentina produced a sparkling attacking display to smash a depleted Australia side 48-17 in their Rugby Championship clash in San Juan on Saturday.
Argentina scored twice in the first six minutes and feasted off the Wallabies’ lack of experience to run in seven tries in their biggest ever victory over Australia and their largest in the southern hemisphere competition.
Wingers Juan Imhoff and Emiliano Boffelli, centre Jeronimo de la Fuente, flanker Juan Martin Gonzalez and replacement flyhalf Tomas Albornoz also scored tries for the Pumas, who took advantage of Australian errors in ruthless fashion.
The Wallabies scored tries through captain James Slipper and centre Len Ikitau but, bar a brief spell in the opening half, they never really threatened the hosts, with the absence of several leading players due to injury and personal reasons taking its toll.
Only five of Australia’s starting 15 had more than 30 caps and they never got to grips with Argentina’s intensity.
Australia had beaten The Pumas 41-26 last weekend in Mendoza, but the home side were a different beast on this occasions, applying pressure throughout with ball in hand and through attacking kicks.
“We really wanted to back (last weeks win) up but we fell short of standards today,” Slipper said.
“I thought the Argentinians were pretty good, they got the momentum behind them in the crowd and they’re a tough team to play catch up footy against.
“Its been a really tough tour for us. We’ve got the South Africans twice at home now, were looking forward to that, getting back home in front of our fans.”
Argentina scored in the opening minute as Imhoff chased his own kick and when the ball was fumbled by Australia fullback Tom Wright, was able to race clear.
One try quickly became two as the home side powered over the line from close range, prop Gallo providing the finish touch.
The fast start continued as Australia finally got possession and after a barn-storming run from number eight Rob Valetini, Slipper crossed to score.
De la Fuente and Gonzalez punished Australian errors for two more tries in a helter-skelter first half that ended with the home team leading 26-10.
When Gallo scored his second try with 16 minutes remaining, any hopes of an Australian comeback were dashed, even after Ikitau crossed for his second try in as many weeks.
Further scores by Boffelli and Albornoz cemented Argentina’s superiority in what will be a sweet win for former Australia coach Michael Cheika.
Australia handed debuts to prop Pone Faamausili and hooker Billy Pollard off the bench.
The Wallabies host South Africa (6.30am) and then New Zealand take on Argentina (8.45am) in Round 3 of matches on Saturday, August 27, live on Sky Sports.

HOUSTON – New Orleans coach Dennis Allen wasn't thrilled about his team's overall performance Saturday night in the preseason against the Houston Texans.
But he was encouraged by the limited work of his starters on both sides of the ball.
“I saw a lot of things I really liked out there,” Allen said. “There are some things we’ve got to get cleaned up. The ball was on the ground too many times. We’ve got to get that aspect cleaned up, but I was pleased with the way the first units went in there and played. Offensively, we scored a touchdown, and defensively, we had two three-and-outs so that was encouraging. "
Andy Dalton threw a touchdown pass on his only possession in his debut with New Orleans, but the Saints fell to the Texans 17-13 after a touchdown in the final minute in the preseason opener for both teams.
Dalton, who joined the Saints after spending last season with the Bears, started with Jameis Winston out after he injured his foot in practice Monday.
“He did a nice job moving us down the field," Allen said. “I thought he operated in the pocket well. We did a couple of good things in the run game. Andy did a really good job of operating the offense."
Dalton was a perfect 5 for 5 for 51 yards. He threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Dwayne Washington to put New Orleans up 7-0 early.
“That’s how you want the drive to go," Dalton said. “We did some good things and were able to score once we got in the red zone. If you can draw it up, that’s how you do it."
Houston quarterback Davis Mills was 3 for 3 for 14 yards in two drives where the team failed to get a first down.
The Texans are sticking with Mills as their starter this season despite a subpar rookie campaign when he played 13 games in the team’s dreadful 4-13 season.
“It’s a start," coach Lovie Smith said. “We didn’t have a lot of production when our one offense was out there, but we got what we wanted accomplished with him. He’s healthy going into Game 2."
Both teams featured the debut of new head coaches with Allen taking over for Sean Payton in New Orleans and Smith replacing David Culley for the Texans. Both Allen and Smith moved into the top job after working last season as their team’s defensive coordinator.
Jeff Driskel threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to rookie Johnny Johnson III in the final minute to lift Houston to the win.
The Texans cut the lead to 7-3 on a 49-yard field goal by Ka’imi Fairbairn late in the first quarter.
Houston took a 10-7 lead when Driskel connected with Jalen Camp on a 4-yard touchdown pass early in the second. That score came after Obo Okoronkwo recovered a fumble by quarterback Ian Book.
Camp had a 49-yard reception on Houston's final drive to help set up the score.
The Saints tied it about two minutes before halftime on a 23-yard field goal by Will Lutz.
A 36-yard field goal by John Parker Romo put New Orleans up 13-10 early in the fourth quarter.
Receiver Chris Olave, taken 11th overall, and 19th pick left tackle Trevor Penning made their debuts Saturday night for New Orleans. Olave had one reception for 4 yards.
A bright spot for the Texans was the play of rookie fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce, who had five carries for 49 yards. Houston is expected to start Marlon Mack, but Pierce is likely to also get carries this season as the team attempts to improve a running game that has been among the worst in the NFL for the past two seasons.
“Dameon has been impressive in practice and we expected him to come tonight and do some things that he did and just keep fighting," Smith said.
Houston rookie safety Jalen Pitre, a second-round pick, had a solid debut with four tackles, including one for a loss.
Chase Hansen led the Saints with six tackles, including two for losses, and returned an interception 44 yards to set up a field goal in the second quarter.
It was one of three interceptions thrown by Driskel.
SITTING OUT
The Texans were without their two first-round draft picks with cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., taken third overall, and left guard Kenyon Green, the 15th pick, missing the game with injuries.
Stingley has been participating in practice but is being brought along slowly as he continues to recover from September surgery to repair a torn ligament in his foot. Green has missed practice time recently with a knee injury.
Stingley was a consensus All-America selection as a freshman in 2019 but was hampered by injury the past two seasons, including being limited to just three games last year at LSU because of the foot injury. Despite the setbacks, the Texans are confident that he’ll be able to step in early and help turn around a secondary that was among the league’s worst last season.

Kentucky football secondary loses another possible contributor to the transfer portal
Less than a week into preseason practice, Kentucky football’s defensive secondary has lost another possible contributor.
Junior Joel Williams, who ended spring practice as one of the top candidates to replace injured Vito Tisdale at nickel back, will transfer out of the program, a UK spokeswoman confirmed Monday. Williams appeared in seven games last season mostly on special teams. He totaled two tackles.
A former four-star recruit in the class of 2020, the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, native enrolled early at Kentucky then played in nine of 10 games as a freshman. He was one of six players who missed time early last season during an investigation into a fight involving football players and members of a UK fraternity at an off-campus party, but burglary charges against Williams and his teammates were later dropped , clearing them to return to the team.
When Tisdale suffered what is expected to be a season-ending knee injury in spring practice, Williams was one of the first players mentioned by Coach Mark Stoops as a candidate to take on a larger role.
“He’s doing a really good job at that position,” Stoops said. “When you’re asking me about the versatility, we don’t have somebody who can do (what Tisdale did) but as far as playing that spot, Joel has done a nice job with the nickel, medium position. So yes, we’re going to count on him a lot, and we’ve got to bring some others along.”
However, after spring practice, Kentucky added four transfers to boost depth in the secondary. Among that group, Texas State transfer Zion Childress is expected to see some playing time at nickel back. Stoops also mentioned highly touted freshman Alex Afari as a candidate to play there on Media Day.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilshire Quinn Capital, Inc. announces pianist Evelyn Dimov as the recipient of the 2022 Wilshire Quinn Musical Arts Scholarship. Wilshire Quinn will be applying $10,000 towards her upcoming fall enrollment at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City.
Wilshire Quinn received over 1,000 scholarship applications from music majors around the United States, each of which included personal statements and video performances.
Dimov, whose stage name is Evelyn Diamant, recently accepted an offer to attend the Manhattan School of Music, one of the country's top independent music conservatories.
Evelyn is an accomplished pianist from Palo Alto, California and began competing in music competitions at the age of eight. She has won multiple competitions, including the El Camino Youth Symphony Concerto Competition, Glendale Piano Competition, and VII Rosario Marciano Piano Competition.
Evelyn's talents have also empowered her to perform at music festivals around the world, in such places as Italy, Spain, Russia, France, and Switzerland.
"We are excited to grant this year's musical arts scholarship to Evelyn and applaud her unique musical talents," said Wilshire Quinn Capital CEO Christopher M. Garcia. "Evelyn's performance and personal statement were phenomenal, and her long list of musical achievements should be recognized. While listening to Evelyn play the piano, we are reminded of music's spiritual force and its ability to connect people from all walks of life—something that Evelyn continues to accomplish by performing around the world as a young musician."
Some of Evelyn's musical influences include Vladimir Horowitz, Martha Argerich, Sofya Gulyak, and Alexander Kobrin. While Evelyn does not have a favorite musical genre, she does enjoy classical, rock, indie, and pop and its various subgenres.
"I find inspiration anywhere and everywhere. My musical aspirations are to simply strive to be the best I can be and to always maximally enjoy the process of working on music and everything that comes with it," Dimov said. "I'm really looking forward to my first year at the wonderful Manhattan School of Music, getting attuned to the new environment and experiencing everything conservatory life has to offer."
The Wilshire Quinn Musical Arts Scholarship, launched in 2019, is a $10,000 annual award presented to a qualified applicant who embodies leadership in the musical arts through talents and character. The scholarship's funds are used directly for tuition, paid to the winner's educational institution.

Tax free savings could be your path out of post-Covid financial stress
The importance of saving and investing cannot be emphasised enough. Beyond Savings Month, consumers are being encouraged to look beyond the effects of Covid-19 and the current economic environment, to equip themselves with the right tools to begin and maintain a long-term savings strategy.
Click below to hear Thabo Mdluli speaking to Schalk Kotze, Head of Affluent Banking at Standard Bank South Africa...
Kotze believes consumers lack understanding of the difference between savings and investments. He explained if people save more, it enables the banks to lend more for investments. An economy where savings are very low means that the economy is choosing short-term consumption over long-term investment.
The first thing they cut is savings, due to the perception that they cannot afford to save.
Schalk Kotze, Head - Affluent Banking: Standard Bank South Africa
To starve the economy of investment can lead to future bottlenecks and shortages.
Kotze recommends a Tax-Free Call investment account to offer quick growth on savings while any interest, dividends or capital gains made on money will be free of tax. Examples include a money market or fixed-term bank account, a unit trust investment, a JSE-listed exchange-traded fund and more.
There is no limit on the number of tax-free savings accounts one can keep, as long as the threshold for tax-free investing across accounts is not exceeded.
You should choose the one that works for you.
Schalk Kotze, Head - Affluent Banking: Standard Bank South Africa
The Money Market Select investment account - short or long-term investments - requires a minimum investment of R100 000 with no monthly fees. When the lump sum reaches R250 000, you earn a rate of 6,00%, "one of the top rates in the country for a solution of this kind".
Compound interest is very powerful and it can take you a long way.
Schalk Kotze, Head - Affluent Banking: Standard Bank South Africa
The best approach is to keep adding to savings and watch the sum multiply until at a specific financial goal. Alternatively, they should leave it untouched for as long as possible to reap the full benefits.
Your money is actually readily accessible and available, you can take it out anytime.
Schalk Kotze, Head - Affluent Banking: Standard Bank South Africa
Of course taking money out would not be the best course of action as it will defeat the objective of saving – reaching financial goals.

As cautious optimism for Kenya’s presidential election continues to grip the country, the numbers are trickling in thick and fast at the Bomas of Kenya.
Independent Electoral and Boundaries (IEBC) clerks are racing against time to process the final results for a winner to be declared before the lapse of the seven-day period provided by law on Tuesday.
And as the patience wears thin and tempers flare in a contest that will undoubtedly go down to the wire, we examine the numbers that the leading candidates, Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga, have amassed so far and some of the regions under their holds so far.
In a tally conducted by The Standard, it emerged that Raila, the Azimio flag bearer, was dominating in 26 counties under his compared to Ruto of Kenya Kwanza’s 21 in the results from 267 counties out of a total 291. These are preliminary results from form 34Bs from the 267 constituencies obtained from IEBC’s portal and independently tallied by The Standard. Some have been verified by the electoral agency at Bomas, a process that would eventually determine the winner.

According to our compilation, Raila has maintained a foothold in counties where he has traditionally enjoyed support such as Siaya where he garnered 371,201 votes, Homa Bay 623,213, Kisumu 306,194 but fared poorly in Embu 25,922, Murang’a 73,539 and Meru 79,842.
In the same counties, Ruto managed 4,307 in Siaya, 11,173 (Homa Bay), 8,451 (Kisumu), but got 130,172 (Embu), 343,481 (Murang’a) and 369,360 in Meru. Other counties where Raila has taken the lead include Taita Taveta, Machakos, Kitui, Kilifi, Kakamega, Kwale, Garissa, Turkana, Kisii, Vihiga and wajir.
Raila’s figures were, however, relatively lower compared to 2017 when he was going against the joint ticket of President Uhuru Kenyatta and Ruto.
In the hotly contested elections, Raila had managed to lock Siaya county with 375,712 votes compared to 2,494 garnered by the Uhuru-Ruto duo. In Kisumu Raila had raked in 369,963 compared to Uhuru-Ruto’s 7,411. In Homa Bay, 400,351 votes compared to his competitors 1,960 and in Embu he got 17,549 compared to the duo’s 231,350.
In the 2017 elections, Murang’a gave Raila a paltry 9,122 compared to Uhuru-Ruto’s 498,248. Then there was Meru County where Raila pocketed 55,602 in comparison to the duo’s 482,580. On the flip side, a look into the 2022 election figures reveals that Ruto has largely maintained the support bases they had in 2017 and managed to hive off a substantial number of votes in regions that have predominantly voted for his competitor.
This is largely attributed to his forays into the Western region where he tag-teamed with the Moses Wetang’ula (Ford Kenya) and Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) duo and the formation of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance that reinvigorated his support base across the country.
In Elgeyo Marakwet, Ruto grasped 160,092 votes, 318,861 in Kericho and another 285,428 in Bomet. Busia county gave the DP 48,827 votes while Mandera delivered 21,086. In Makueni, Ruto amassed 59,331.
Raila registered 4,902 in Elgeyo Marakwet, 15,057 in Kericho and 13,383 in Bomet.
The results mirrored those in 2017 where the Uhuru-Ruto team dominated the above counties considered to be their strongholds and where some were swing votes.
In Busia, the former prime minister got 226,317 and another 89,222 in Mandera while he managed 229,187 in Makueni.
Data relayed by IEBC shows Uhuru-Ruto managed to lock 138,634 votes in Elgeyo Marakwet in 2017 compared to Raila’s 7,102. In Kericho, they got 272,974 compared to Raila’s 19,448 while in Bomet the Uhuru-Ruto pair had 229,599 against Raila’s 31,822.
Busia saw the duo clinch 34,239 against Raila’s 239,296 while in Mandera, Uhuru and Ruto jointly clocked 112,456 votes compared to Raila’s 17,984. In Kitui, the contest saw the pair only collect 64,652 against Raila’s strong 287,293.
In this year’s polls, Ruto has also reaped in Tharaka Nithi, Kirinyaga, Nyeri, Embu, Murang’a, Meru, Baringo, Nyandarua, Uasin Gishu, Kiambu, Laikipia, Nakuru, Narok, Bungoma and West Pokot. | https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001453188/raila-odinga-william-ruto-share-spoils-in-tight-state-house-race | 2022-08-14T04:35:46Z | https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001453188/raila-odinga-william-ruto-share-spoils-in-tight-state-house-race | true | 1 |

The Rhine runs dry amid sweltering heat and extreme drought
The European summer of 2022 has been sweltering.
The UK recorded temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius for the first time ever while extreme heat waves and forest fires have plagued France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal for weeks.
Several countries are in the grip of extreme drought, and the rivers are drying up.
RELATED: Brutal heatwave kills thousands in Europe – and it’s not letting up
The Rhine – one of Europe's major shipping rivers – has dropped so low in Germany and the Netherlands that houseboats are stranded, and commercial shipping may soon grind to a complete halt.
"It's not been raining here since April,” said Deutsche Welle (DW) correspondent Barbara Wesel.
“The weather forecast says it will not rain in the next week so there is not going to be any relief; it's just going to get worse."
RELATED: 'Renewables now half the price of coal – that’s where the money’s at'
"As we are seeing in Switzerland, as we're seeing in France, many parts of Germany, northern Italy as southern parts of the United Kingdom, it's dry,” concurred Clare Nullis of the World Meteorological Organisation.
“July was very, very dry. August is continuing that trend."
Lester Kiewit interviewed DW’s Keith Walker (scroll up to listen).
A lot of the rivers are drying up… The water had receded so much that I can actually walk along the [Rhine] riverbank. It’s weird, like walking on the moon...
Keith Walker, Deutsche Welle
Navigating the river has become so difficult because the water level is so low… They have to have less stuff on the barges, so it sits higher in the water. It’s bizarre.
Keith Walker, Deutsche Welle

Today in History
Today is Sunday, Aug. 14, the 226th day of 2022. There are 139 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Aug. 14, 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced that Imperial Japan had surrendered unconditionally, ending World War II.
On this date:
In 1848, the Oregon Territory was created.
In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law.
In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill issued the Atlantic Charter, a statement of principles that renounced aggression.
In 1947, Pakistan became independent of British rule.
In 1948, the Summer Olympics in London ended; they were the first Olympic games held since 1936.
In 1973, U.S. bombing of Cambodia came to a halt.
In 1980, actor-model Dorothy Stratten, 20, was shot to death by her estranged husband and manager, Paul Snider, who then killed himself.
In 1994, Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, the terrorist known as “Carlos the Jackal,” was captured by French agents in Sudan.
In 1995, Shannon Faulkner officially became the first female cadet in the history of The Citadel, South Carolina’s state military college. (However, Faulkner quit the school less than a week later, citing the stress of her court fight, and her isolation among the male cadets.)
In 1997, an unrepentant Timothy McVeigh was formally sentenced to death for the Oklahoma City bombing. (McVeigh was executed by lethal injection in 2001.)
In 2009, Charles Manson follower Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, 60, convicted of trying to assassinate President Gerald Ford in 1975, was released from a Texas prison hospital after more than three decades behind bars.
In 2020, India’s coronavirus death toll overtook Britain’s to become the fourth-highest in the world after another single-day record increase in cases.
Ten years ago: Vice President Joe Biden sparked a campaign commotion, telling an audience in southern Virginia that included hundreds of Black voters that Republican Mitt Romney wanted to put them “back in chains” by deregulating Wall Street. (Biden later mocked Republican criticism over the remark while conceding he’d meant to use different words.) Ron Palillo, the actor best known as the nerdy high school student Arnold Horshack on the 1970s sitcom “Welcome Back, Kotter,” died in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, at age 63.
Five years ago: Under pressure from right and left, President Donald Trump condemned white supremacist groups by name, declaring them to be “repugnant to everything that we hold dear as Americans.” The CEO of Merck, the nation’s third-largest pharmaceutical company, resigned from a federal advisory council, citing Trump’s failure to explicitly condemn white nationalists who marched in Charlottesville, Virginia. (Kenneth Frazier was one of the few African Americans to head a Fortune 500 company. The CEOs of Intel and Under Armour also resigned from the American Manufacturing Council later in the day.) A jury in Denver, siding with pop star Taylor Swift, ordered a fired radio DJ to pay her a symbolic $1 after concluding that he had groped her.
One year ago: The Taliban captured Mazar-e-Sharif, a large, heavily-defended city in northern Afghanistan, and approached the capital Kabul, less than three weeks before the U.S. hoped to complete its troop withdrawal. President Joe Biden authorized an additional 1,000 U.S. troops for deployment to Afghanistan to ensure what he called an “orderly and safe drawdown” of American and allied personnel. A 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, turning thousands of structures into rubble; the quake left more than 2,200 people dead and injured more than 12,000 others.
