When news of Bridget Otoo's marriage to Dr Evans Ago Tetteh broke, social media users dug out a 2021 tweet of the broadcaster where she announced that her goal was to marry a Ghanaian man who can cook and wash for her.
"I’m looking for a Ghanaian man, marriageable material who can cook and clean 24/7 to marry,” read her tweet dated December 5, 2021.
Due to this, many have questioned whether 'lucky' Dr Ago Tetteh fit into Bridget's dream man description.
Ghanaian musician and presenter, Blakk Rasta, in his message to the couple advised the broadcaster's husband to sign up for a cooking lesson if he can't cook.
"I hope @Bridget_Otoo's husband can WASH and COOK. Else...Catering school would help... I wish you success, bro," he tweeted.
Bridget in response wrote: "He can’t cook, not even rice. Sponsor my cooking lessons."

Earth Changes
Over 1,500 firefighters battle through night; 13 firefighting helicopters and planes now in air
Thursday morning sees 1,500 firefighters backed by over 470 appliances and 13 planes and helicopters still battling the fire that began in Covilhã in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Reports locally attested last night to 9,532 hectares having been consumed by flames - taking this fire well into the 'record books'. It remains active even today (having dipped in and out of so-called resolution, meaning the total area consumed by flames will be even larger).
According to EFFIS (image used above) the burnt areas so far are equivalent to the entire borough of Lisbon. In percentage terms, they represent 10% of the Serra da Estrela natural park.
These terrible last few days of firefighting have seen the blaze move first from Covilhã municipality to the municipality of Manteigas. Since then it has advanced into two further municipalities (Guarda and Gouveia), with all press briefings up till now continuing with the message that 'firefighting is very difficult'. No-one doubts this for a moment, but criticism of the firefighting strategy is now coming from other quarters, beyond the mayor of Manteigas. This morning's papers refer to the mayor of Gouveia also saying blame for this drama "must not die a spinster" - and that this incident is "full of surreal facts".
Nonetheless, this blaze more than any others before it this year shows just how uncontrollable blazes have become in Portugal's new 'climate reality'. It is very much the same as situations in other countries. This is the new normal for wildfires in the 21st century: they are much more difficult to control than they have been in the past.
This fire remains the 'most worrying' in Portuguese mainland territory. Other fires that have broken out since have been contained/ controlled much more quickly. Meantime around 80 municipalities in the north, centre and northern Alentejo remain at 'maximum danger' of rural fires.

Man, 25, dies in `targeted´ shooting in east London
A 25-year-old man has died after being shot in east London, in what police believe was a “targeted attack”.
Officers were called to reports of gunshots in Forest Rise, Walthamstow, at just before 9.30pm on Saturday.
The injured man had been been taken to hospital in a private vehicle, Scotland Yard said, and later died.
Detective Chief Inspector Laurence Smith, of the Metropolitan Police, said: “This is a thoroughly senseless act that has led to the loss of a young man’s life.
“It is vital that we speak to anyone who witnessed what happened so we can give his family the answers they deserve.
“At this early stage in our investigation we believe this was a targeted attack, however we are keeping an open mind to all possibilities.”
Mr Smith said it was understood that a party was ongoing at a nearby community centre at the time of the shooting.
“It is possible that attendees may have seen what happened,” he added.
“We need you to speak to us.
“Whether you do so anonymously via Crimestoppers or you come to us directly, we need to know what you saw.”
Police are keeping an open mind (Nick Ansell/PA)
Homicide detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command are leading the investigation and there have been no arrests.
Chief Superintendent Simon Crick, in charge of policing in Waltham Forest and Newham, said: “I am deeply saddened and appalled that another young man has lost his life on our streets.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the victim’s family at this time.
“I am acutely aware of how concerning this incident will be for our local community.
“Last week more of your officers were deployed into key locations in Waltham Forest to provide high visibility re-assurance.
“This will continue this week.
“We have also seen addition resources provided to us from our violent crime task force.
“Violence suppression continues daily in many ways across Waltham Forest.
“Your officers will be in the vicinity of this tragic incident today.
“I urge anyone who has any concerns or information to speak with them.”

FRSC begins clampdown on unregistered motorcycles in Taraba
The Taraba State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has again reiterated its commitment to sustain efforts at sensitizing and enforcing registration for unregistered motorcycle operators in the state.
This was contained in a statement signed by the state Commandant, Selina William and made available to media men on Sunday in Jalingo, the state capital.
The move, according to her, is part of the Command’s strategy for curbing criminal activities in the state.
She explained that the exercise was in compliance with the directives by the Acting Corps Marshal, Dauda Biu to FRSC formations nationwide.
Taraba State government had banned the use of motorcycles within Jalingo metropolis in 2012, leaving them to operate in the outskirts of the metropolises and other local government areas.”
With this development, the command under her leadership would work round the clock to clamp down on defaulters.
“The command is clamping down on the unregistered ones having realised that criminals use them to perpetrate evil in communities,” she said.
She maintained that the Command would continue to engage relevant stakeholders in this regard for total compliance aimed at improving the security situation of the state and the country at large. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/08/14/frsc-begins-clampdown-on-unregistered-motorcycles-in-taraba/ | 2022-08-14T13:38:20Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/08/14/frsc-begins-clampdown-on-unregistered-motorcycles-in-taraba/ | false | 1 |

A young boy was rushed to hospital after suffering serious injuries in a vicious dog attack yesterday. A 31-year-old woman has also been arrested in connection with the incident.
Merseyside Police were called to reports of the attack at Wellesbourne Place in Norris Green, Liverpool on Saturday (August 14). Enquiries suggested the four-year-old boy went to visit a friend's house when he was attacked by a bull mastiff-type dog.
It is believed a neighbour who saw the incident stepped in and managed to fight the dog off the boy to get him to safety. He suffered serious injuries and was rushed to hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition.
The dog has since been seized, reports the ECHO. A woman from Norris Green was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of a dangerously out-of-control dog. She remains at a police station where she will be interviewed by officers.
Police are now appealing for anyone with information regarding the ‘extremely distressing’ incident to come forward.
Detective Inspector Chris Hawitt, said: “This incident has left a young child with serious injuries to his face and head, and will have been an extremely distressing incident for all who witnessed it. I would like to commend the neighbour whose quick thinking and selfless swift actions have probably saved the life of this young boy, who has suffered life changing injuries.
“Our enquiries into the full circumstances of the incident are ongoing, and we have seized the dog for the safety of the community and to establish its breed. We have a dedicated sergeant who reviews all cases concerning dangerous dogs, and are keen to speak to any witnesses who may have seen the incident or this dog on previous occasions.
"I want to emphasise that dog owners need to be mindful of their dogs' behaviour at all times, particularly where young children may be around the dog. And if owners take their dogs into public spaces they should keep their pet on a lead and muzzled if it is liable to be aggressive.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact the social media desk @ MerPolCC, call 101 with reference 929 of 13 August or you can call the independent charity CrimestoppersUK anonymously on 0800 555 111. You can also use their online form here.

"Tell me about it, stud." There are plenty of catchier, more profound quotables in the history of cinema, but I'll always love this one for how perfectly embarrassing it is.
On its surface, Olivia Newton-John's smoldering come-on in the finale of Grease introduces her character Sandy's transformation from prim prude to red-lipped sexpot, in an O. Henry-like twist where she and John Travolta's Danny each adopt new identities to appease the other. But with only a little imagination, you can picture her frantic preparation for this moment, practicing that line thousands of times in the mirror, rolling the dice that Danny will say something to which "Tell me about it, stud" is an appropriate response. The best part is, he doesn't: All he does is gawk and say, "Sandy?" It's a total non-sequitur, delivered before the same cliquish classmates who have mocked and dismissed her for an entire school year, and in spite of its awkwardness, it lands. Maybe they're all too distracted by her new look to notice. Or maybe they simply know what we know — that Sandy, like the woman playing her, is a first-class dork even at her absolute sexiest.
I've spent the past week reading tributes to Newton-John, who died Monday at 73 after a 30-year battle with breast cancer, and seen the same few words recur over and over: "Beautiful." "Angelic." "Sensual." "Classy." "Soft rock." All of which certainly apply to the British-Australian singer and actress, who broke through in the mid-'70s with country-pop ballads like "I Honestly Love You" and "Have You Never Been Mellow" (her first two of five U.S. No. 1 hits), and became a superstar in 1978 as Grease's quintessential girl next door. Along with her fervent advocacy for health and humanitarian causes, these descriptions make her seem almost untouchable, too pure for this world.
But to me — a very young girl at the time of her rise, a precocious only child from a progressive family with an early interest in politics and feminism, swept up in questions of what being a woman even meant — it was her accessibility and playfulness that cast their warm spell on my growing heart. I was in love with Sandy from the second she arrived at Rydell High: Apart from the fact that I couldn't take my eyes off her, I deeply related to her desire to do everything the right way, while still being intrigued by the determination of her new friends Rizzo, Marty and Frenchy to do everything their own way. When "Bad Sandy" awakened, so did my understanding that the two aren't exclusive: You can be true to yourself, and also decide what that means from one day to the next.
I've come to love the perennial ice-breaker "What was your first concert?" because I have deep, unironic pride in my answer. It was the day before my sixth birthday in 1982, a gift from my mom, who had watched in amusement as I named all of my dolls and stuffed animals of any species "Olivia." We were in the highest reaches of the San Diego Sports Arena, the stage so far away that it could have been anyone performing. But I knew it wasn't just anyone: It was the star of Grease and the critically panned disco fantasy Xanadu, films that had no business being worshipped by a kindergartener, but were anyway because of her. I was the world's youngest Gene Kelly superfan, because he'd danced with her onscreen. When Cheers debuted two years after Xanadu, I tuned in genuinely hoping to see the further adventures of the film's main character Sonny Malone, having missed that Ted Danson's charismatic barkeep was actually named Sam. (Though I quickly learned that the show did not feature any ancient Greek muses on roller skates, I did keep watching. Shelly Long's Diane was a new geek goddess in my burgeoning pantheon, another principled good girl who was also the smartest person in the room.)
I can still feel what it was like to hear "Physical" and be moved to dance without a trace of self-consciousness — why should I have any when she didn't? I knew the song was about sex, but while radio stations were banning it, I wasn't blushing. The video was so camp, the Jazzercise double entendre so obvious. Just like Sandy, Newton-John was winkingly cosplaying hypersexuality, because she didn't need it to get what she wanted. I knew this instinctively, just as I knew a year later that despite playing a felon in Two of a Kind, her reunion film with John Travolta, there was no question she'd end up doing the right thing and falling in love in the process — though not before having a little dangerous fun and charting a new hit single in "Twist of Fate."
As the '80s and '90s wore on, she remained at the center of my self-conception, if not my evolving playlist. But one evening in college, she caught me off guard by appearing alongside my newest role model — Candice Bergen's Murphy Brown, a brilliant journalist who held herself to the highest standards while also breaking a lot of rules. In a 1997 cameo on the CBS sitcom, Newton-John appeared as herself, facing off against Murphy in a charity auction for the chance to conduct a symphony orchestra for a day. Murphy is determined to win because she's been diagnosed with breast cancer and wants to make the most of her remaining days. Olivia, now five years into her own real-life diagnosis, presumably wants the same and bids viciously. But when Murphy pulls out a victory, Olivia slyly and sweetly reveals the truth: She's there on behalf of the charity, who recruited her to drive up Murphy's bid.
Among all the compulsive listening and rewatching I've done since hearing about Newton-John's death, these few minutes make me cry the hardest. Embedded in her brief meta-performance is a decision to face her circumstances with a wink and a smile — helping Murphy, and any survivors watching at home, to do the same. Seeing her that way takes me back to why I loved her so instantly as a child: She embodied a fundamental goodness, but reveled in playing near the edge to keep everyone on their toes. May we all make our own rules with such heart.

Officials: Fire at Coptic church in Cairo kills 41, hurts 14

- Egypt
A fire ripped through a packed church during morning services in Egypt's capital on Sunday, killing at least 41 worshippers and injuring 14.
The church quickly filled with thick black smoke, and witnesses said several trapped congregants jumped from upper floors to escape. “Suffocation, suffocation, all of them dead,” said a distraught witness, who only gave a partial name, Abu Bishoy.
The cause of the blaze in the Abu Sefein church in the working-class neighbourhood of Imbaba was not immediately known. An initial investigation pointed to an electrical short-circuit, according to a police statement.
Footage from the scene circulated online showed burned furniture, including wooden tables and chairs. Firefighters were seen putting out the blaze while others carried victims to ambulances. Families waited for word on relatives who were inside the church. Witnesses said there were many children inside the building when the fire broke out.
“There are children we didn't know how to get to them,'' said Abu Bishoy. ''And we don't know whose son this is, or whose daughter that is. Is this possible?” The country's health minister blamed the smoke and a stampede as people attempted to flee the fire for causing the fatalities. It was one of the worst fire tragedies in Egypt in recent years.
Witness Emad Hanna said the church includes two places used as a daycare for children, and that a church worker managed to get many children out.
“We went upstairs and found people dead. And we started to see from outside that the smoke was getting bigger, and people want to jump from the upper floor. ... We found the children.” Egypt's Coptic Church and the country's health ministry reported the casualty toll. The church said the fire broke out while a service was underway. The church is located in a narrow street in one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in Cairo.
Fifteen firefighting vehicles were dispatched to the scene to put out the flames while ambulances ferried casualties to nearby hospitals, officials said.
President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi spoke by phone with the Coptic Christian Pope Tawadros II to offer his condolences, the president's office said. Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, Al-Azhar's Grand Imam, also offered his condolences to the head of the Coptic church. “I am closely following the developments of the tragic accident,” el-Sissi wrote on Facebook. “I directed all concerned state agencies and institutions to take all necessary measures, and immediately to deal with this accident and its effects.” Health Minister Khaled Abdel-Ghafar said in a statement that two of the injured were discharged from a hospital while 12 others were still being treated.
The Interior Ministry said it received a report on the fire at 9 a.m. local time, and that they found that the blaze broke out in an air conditioner in the building's second floor.
The ministry, which oversees police and firefighters, blamed an electrical short-circuit for the fire, which produced huge amounts of smoke. Meanwhile, the country's chief prosecutor, Hamada el-Sawy, ordered an investigation and a team of prosecutors were dispatched to the church.
Later on Sunday, emergency services said they managed to put out the blaze and the prime minister and other senior government officials arrived to inspect the site.
Egypt's Christians account for some 10% of the nation's more than 103 million people and have long complained of discrimination by the nation's Muslim majority. Sunday's blaze was one of the worst fire tragedies in recent years in Egypt, where safety standards and fire regulations are poorly enforced. In March last year, a fire at a garment factory near Cairo killed at least 20 people and injured 24 more.

How can you unintentionally put your cell phone in your back pocket? Is this like unintentionally packing a vape pen in your suitcase. Ask him if he won the race he bet on?
this is unacceptable, an needs to be addressed. that is a foreign object that's not part of a baseball game. anyone that brings anything on the field outside of ther equipment need to discipline, by setting out a few games. or a healthy fine.
Cell phones ruined the work force in just about every job nowadays and productivity and service etc...has gone down the drain. Even jobs that require a cell phone are abusing it by speaking to family spouses girl or boy friends etc... for hours out of an 8 hour day. I guess thats progress. I would hate to be the owner of any business in todays world cuz your being robbed and then they want raises or tips !!

For those who constantly forget where the task manager is or can never find where to access the Run Command on Windows 11 without first looking it up on Google, fear not.
While Windows 11’s Start menu is an easy way to access pinned apps and more, it doesn’t let you easily access the nooks and crannies of your PC. Luckily, there’s a somewhat secret Start menu hiding within the icon that gives you a bundle of options, such as accessing your system’s specs, opening task manager and the Run command, checking device and computer management, and plenty more.
How to access Windows 11's secret Start menu
Accessing Window 11's hidden Start menu is easy. In fact, all it takes is a simple right-click or a keyboard shortcut. It can be incredibly handy to find your PC's more detailed options, especially if you don't know where they are in the first place.
Follow the simple steps below to use Window 11's other Start menu.
- On your Windows 11 PC, right-click the Start menu icon on the taskbar.
- Alternatively, hit Windows key + X and the menu will pop up.
That's right, it's that simple. All it takes is a simple right-click on the Start menu icon and the once hidden menu will appear. Some may find it easier to use the keyboard shortcut, as you can navigate through it with the directional keys and hit enter — all without touching your mouse or touchpad.
For more simple yet effective Windows 11 tricks to make your life easier, we've got you covered. | https://www.laptopmag.com/news/how-to-access-windows-11-secret-start-menu | 2022-08-14T14:09:23Z | https://www.laptopmag.com/news/how-to-access-windows-11-secret-start-menu | true | 3 |
A furious Erik ten Hag cancelled a scheduled day off for his Manchester United players and ordered them into training on Sunday following the 4-0 embarrassment at the hands of Brentford.
Telegraph Sport understands that Ten Hag was back at United’s Carrington training ground on Sunday morning after the squad returned from their chastening trip to west London on Saturday evening, and the Dutch manager’s first act following their second consecutive Premier League defeat was to cancel a planned rest day for the players.
Ten Hag ordered his squad in for an extra session, having made his feelings clear to them in the wake of a shocking performance at the Gtech Community Stadium that saw United concede four goals inside 35 minutes and leave them bottom of the table and without a point to their name.
“At half-time he said it was unacceptable what we were doing on the pitch,” said David de Gea, the United goalkeeper, after the defeat. “Then some tactical things. It was horrible from us.”
He added: "It's difficult to be honest. It's still tough moments. I say this many times, but I know the lads, and everyone is working hard.
"I'm working hard, the manager's working really hard, so that's the beginning.
"We made a big change so these are just the first games. We need to improve a lot, listen to what the manager wants and of course start to win games.
"It doesn't matter who we play against. We need to prepare for the game very well. We have a long week.
"It's going to be tough of course, after this defeat. But let's put our lives in training, put our lives on the games, and let's play for the badge and our pride."
De Gea was at fault for two of Brentford’s goals, letting Josh Dasilva's long-range shot squirm through his hands for the opener and his ill-advised pass to Christian Eriksen gifting Mathias Jensen the second soon after.
The Spaniard fronted up after the final whistle and spoke to TV cameras where he apologised for his errors, although he was far from the only culprit responsible for their shocking first-half display and Ten Hag reacted at the break by replacing left-back Luke Shaw, centre-back Lisandro Martinez and midfielder Fred.
Ben Mee headed in the third after Martinez failed to deal with a corner, and Bryan Mbeumo hit a slick fourth from Ivan Toney's assist. Eriksen, meanwhile, was booed by a section of the home support on his return to the club he left in the summer on a free transfer to Old Trafford.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank said: "I understand fans, how they can react. Personally, I think we as a club should show class, respect and integrity throughout every action we do.
"Of course, there is the banter when you can sing a little bit, but booing a player? That's not class, that's not me. If fans want to do that, I won't say it's fine, but I would never do it." | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/08/14/erik-ten-hag-cancels-day-manchester-united-players/ | 2022-08-14T14:10:10Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/08/14/erik-ten-hag-cancels-day-manchester-united-players/ | false | 1 |

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word.

That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N.

Ireland vs Afghanistan, 4th T20I: Preview, stats, and Fantasy XI
Hosts Ireland eye a series win when they face Afghanistan in the fourth of five-match series on Monday. The Andrew Balbirnie-captained side has a 2-1 lead up their sleeves. They came short in the third outing on both batting and bowling fronts to suffer a 22-run defeat. Afghanistan have able T20I campaigners who can pull a win out of nowhere. Here is the preview.
The Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast will host this affair. The wicket has assisted both batters and bowlers in the series underway. Chasing sides have won 15 of 25 T20Is played here. Anything around 165-175 could be a competitive score at this venue. The match can be live-streamed on the Fancode app (8:00 PM IST).
It has been a one-sided dominance so far, with Afghanistan boasting a 15-6 win-loss record. Moreover, Afghanistan haven't lost a bilateral T20I series versus the Irishmen and boast a perfect 4-0 record.
Andrew Balbirnie's master-class is needed. Lorcan Tucker has had consistent returns in the series. Also, Paul Stirling needs to fend off his poor run of form. Speedster Joshua Little can be a nuisance in his initial spells. For Afghanistan, the scoring onus rests on Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Left-armer Fazalhaq Farooqi remains a threat for Irishmen alongside Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan.
Ireland (probable XI): Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie (captain), Lorcan Tucker (wicket-keeper), Harry Tector, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Curtis Campher, Fionn Hand, Mark Adair, Graham Hume, Joshua Little. Afghanistan (probable XI): Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wicket-keeper), Usman Ghani, Ibrahim Zidran, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi (captain), Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi.
Andrew Balbirnie has smacked 440 runs in T20Is played this year. He scored 51 and 46 in the first and second T20Is, respectively. Joshua Little has claimed 49 scalps at 25.40. Wicket-keeper batter Lorcan Tucker's scores in the series read 50(32), 27(28), and 31(21). Spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman has snapped up 36 wickets at 16.80. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has aggregated 648 runs, striking at 133.05.
Fantasy XI (option 1): Lorcan Tucker, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (c), Paul Stirling, Najibullah Zadran, Andrew Balbirnie, Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Nabi, George Dockrell, Joshua Little (vc), Barry McCarthy, Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Fantasy XI (option 2): Lorcan Tucker (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zadran, Andrew Balbirnie, Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Nabi, George Dockrell, Joshua Little, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mujeeb Ur Rahman (vc), Fazalhaq Farooqi. | https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/sports/ireland-vs-afghanistan-4th-t20i-match-preview/story | 2022-08-14T14:13:00Z | https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/sports/ireland-vs-afghanistan-4th-t20i-match-preview/story | false | 1 |

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Teofimo Lopez made a triumphant return to the ring, stopping Pedro Campa in the seventh round Saturday night at Resorts World Events Center.
Lopez made his debut as a 140-pound junior welterweight in his first fight since suffering the only loss of his career.
Moments after putting Campa on the canvas at the start of the seventh, Lopez (17-1, 13 KOs) obliterated his outmatched opponent with a flurry of punches, prompting referee Tony Weeks to stop the fight at the 2:14 mark.
“I am grateful for this, I have returned,” Lopez said.
Campa dropped to 34-2-1.
The 25-year-old Lopez looked much more like the promising young fighter who captivated the world when he beat Vasily Lomachenko to claim the unified lightweight championship in 2020.
Campa, who relies on a straight-forward approach and hard-firing punches, struggled to land much, as Lopez stayed active throughout the fight and displayed impeccable defense.
On the attack, Lopez was much faster and crisper with his punches, landing 52% of his power punches, per CompuBox.
“I got to work a little bit more on some things, but overall it was good,” Lopez said of his performance. “It’s been a while. There was a lot on my mind. I nearly almost died (in) the last fight, so that was weighing on my mind, I had to clear it out.
“Going in there, I’m not afraid to die, but the last thing I want to do is not have my son have a father.”
It was only nine months ago Lopez hit a career low when he lost as a huge favorite to George Kambosos Jr. by split decision.
But the loss to Kambosos in New York City on Nov. 27 was later overshadowed by the news he fought with a condition called pneumomediastinum and had extensive air in the retropharyngeal space, per a report by ESPN, something he didn’t learn about until after suffering his first-ever loss.
“That was weighing on my mind, but I had to get that guy out, somehow, someway,” the Brooklyn fighter said.
Leading up to the seventh, Lopez was the aggressor, staying in pursuit and consistently peppering Campa’s face while absorbing shots and shaking off apparent ring rust.
Lopez appeared to back off in the fourth and fifth a bit, perhaps logging rounds while preserving energy, but returned to an active role and landed several combinations in the sixth.
“Little by little those punches are gonna add up and eventually it’s gonna hurt them,” Lopez said. “It may not do it right away, but in due time it’ll get them out.
“This is a blessing, man. Time is something we don’t get back.”
Earlier, Xander Zayas (14-0, 10 KOs) stopped Elias Espadas (22-5) in the fifth round, delivering a devastating right hook to the jaw to claim the vacant WBO NABO junior middleweight title.
The 19-year-old from Puerto Rico was dominant from the start, scoring a knockdown in the first round, then using sharp combinations to wear down Espadas over the next three rounds before ending the fight with 2:36 left in the fifth round.
Per CompuBox, Zayas, who threw 60 punches per pound, landed 42% of his power punches while 27 of the 86 punches he landed were to the body. | https://www.wcia.com/sports/ap-sports/teofimo-lopez-stops-pedro-campa-in-7th-in-return-to-ring/ | 2022-08-14T14:26:20Z | https://www.wcia.com/sports/ap-sports/teofimo-lopez-stops-pedro-campa-in-7th-in-return-to-ring/ | false | 18 |

Gunman wounds 8 in Jerusalem shooting
A Palestinian gunman opened fire at a bus near Jerusalem’s Old City early Sunday, wounding eight Israelis in an attack that came a week after violence flared up between Israel and militants in Gaza, police and medics said.
Two of the victims were in serious condition, including a pregnant woman with abdominal injuries and a man with gunshot wounds to the head and neck, according to Israeli hospitals treating them.
The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides, tweeted that there were American citizens among the wounded. An embassy spokesperson disclosed no other information or details.
The shooting happened as the bus waited in a parking lot near the Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews can pray. Israeli media identified the suspected attacker as a 26-year-old Palestinian from east Jerusalem.
Israeli police said forces were dispatched to the scene to investigate. Israeli security forces also pushed into the nearby Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan pursuing the suspected attacker.
Later on Sunday, police said the suspected attacker turned himself in. Speaking at a meeting of his Cabinet Sunday, Israeli Prime Mnister Yair Lapid said the suspected attacker was a resident of Jerusalem who was operating alone during the shooting and who had previously been arrested by Israel.
The attack in Jerusalem followed a tense week between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Last weekend, Israeli aircraft unleashed an offensive in the Gaza Strip targeting the militant group Islamic Jihad and setting off three days of fierce cross-border fighting. Islamic Jihad fired hundreds of rockets during the flare-up to avenge the airstrikes, which killed two of its commanders and other militants. Israel said the attack was meant to thwart threats from the group to respond to the arrest of one of its officials in the occupied West Bank.
Forty-nine Palestinians, including 17 children and 14 militants, were killed, and several hundred were injured in the fighting, which ended with an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire. No Israeli was killed or seriously injured.

The Islamic militant group Hamas, which controls Gaza, stayed on the sidelines.
A day after the cease-fire halted the worst round of Gaza fighting in more than a year, Israeli troops killed three Palestinian militants and wounded dozens in a shootout that erupted during an arrest raid in the West Bank city of Nablus. | https://www.koco.com/article/late-night-jerusalem-shooting/40889454 | 2022-08-14T14:28:07Z | https://www.koco.com/article/late-night-jerusalem-shooting/40889454 | true | 12 |

TORONTO (AP) — Two-time champion Simona Halep of Romania advanced to the National Bank Open’s final, beating Jessica Pegula of the United States 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday.
Halep will face Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia, a 6-4, 7-6 (7) winner over 14th-seeded Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic in the night semifinal.
Halep smashed a racket on the hard court at Sobeys Stadium after she missed a return late in the third set.
“The fire is back,” Halep said. “It’s a good sign if I do that. It looks like I’m fighting. It helps me sometimes. I don’t know if it’s always good or not, but it helps me.”
The 15th-seeded Halep won the tournament in Montreal in 2016 and 2018. Pegula was seeded seventh.
Haddad Maia reached her first WTA Masters event final. In June, she won consecutive grass-court events in Nottingham and Birmingham in England for her first two tour titles.
“I just try to breathe a little bit more. I try to calm down and think about what I need to do and not what I’m experiencing,” Haddad Maia said. “I try to play every point and think about the next shot.
She beat top-ranked Iga Swiatek in the round of 16.
“I don’t think about, ‘Oh, I’m here playing against No. 1 in the world in a big stage in a 1000 WTA,’ because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to play,” Haddad Maia said
Halep won the Melbourne Summer Set 1 to open the season for her 23rd title, and first since since 2020. She began working with coach Patrick Mouratoglou in April and said he has rekindled her passion for tennis, pointing to training sessions at his tennis school in the French Riviera.
“The person next to us, Patrick, he brought it,” said Halep, gesturing toward Mouratoglou. “The vibe from the academy gave me the energy. To see all those kids fighting every day to touch the dream that they have. I felt that I still can do it. I still have it inside myself.” | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/sports/2-time-champ-simona-halep-advances-to-toronto-final/ | 2022-08-14T14:48:50Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/sports/2-time-champ-simona-halep-advances-to-toronto-final/ | true | 25 |
ISLAMABAD (AP) — An attack by militants in Pakistan’s volatile southwestern Baluchistan province left two soldiers dead and six wounded, the military said Sunday.
The military said in a statement that one of the wounded soldiers was an officer who was hurt during a heavy exchange of fire with fleeing attackers after their attack was repulsed. The militants were then chased into mountains in Khost province, it said.
Intelligence officials said six soldiers and two civilians were wounded in the attack. They spoke on condition of anonymity for not being authorized to speak to media
The army did not identify the attackers and no group immediately claimed responsibility for the assault. However, Baluch insurgents operating in the region have carried out similar attacks on security forces in recent months and have also targeted coal miners.
For nearly two decades, Baluchistan has been the scene of a low-level insurgency by the Baluchistan Liberation Army and other separatist groups demanding independence from the central government in Islamabad. The government says it has quelled the insurgency, but violence in the province has persisted. | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/2-soldiers-killed-in-fighting-with-militants-in-17372604.php | 2022-08-14T14:50:12Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/2-soldiers-killed-in-fighting-with-militants-in-17372604.php | true | 14 |

Netflix (NFLX 2.72%) still stands above all the other streaming networks, with 220 million subscribers and $8 billion in revenue. However, it continues to take a beating from the many other streaming companies that are trying to topple it and capture market share.
While it tackles these issues from atop its precarious perch, there's a major drawback that it has compared to almost all of its competition -- and it makes owning Netflix stock look a bit risky right now.
A completely new streaming landscape
Let's walk back a few steps to see what led to this situation since Netflix didn't change, but the world has. Disney had Disney+ in plans before the pandemic, and it was first launched in the U.S. in November 2019, just prior to COVID-19.
The unforeseen circumstances that followed had a massive effect on the streaming industry. Disney+ was adopted at a greatly accelerated rate, Netflix itself enjoyed unusually high subscriber growth, and several other studios jumped on the bandwagon with their own streaming services to grab a piece of the pie.
The results is that there is now a flooded market, with many services that are not differentiated (save for which titles they feature). It also means that Netflix may be in trouble. Not only did its subscriber growth fall, but subscriber count actually fell in the 2022 first and second quarters.
Netflix still has a lot going for it, so far retaining the highest subscriber count. It continues to roll out popular original content that's drawing new subscribers in some regions, and it has remained profitable, as well as cash flow positive.
However, as competitors make inroads and subscriber count falls, Netflix has had to change its model to stay competitive. It recently added gaming services to its platform, and it's in the process of working out a free, ad-supported version similar to Roku to add revenue and keep more viewers.
However, there's something else it's missing that could be a key ingredient in a winning model.
What other streamers have in common -- and Netflix doesn't
Leaving out Roku, the other major streaming channels are Disney+, HBO Max, Peacock, Paramount+, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, and Discovery+. That's a lot of competition for the same dollars. Out of all these, the only one besides Netflix that doesn't come along with a film production studio that releases to theaters is Apple. Disney owns several studios, including Marvel and Pixar, in addition to the Disney label. Both HBO Max and Discovery+ are owned by the newly created Warner Bros Discovery. Peacock is owned by Comcast, which owns Universal Studios, Paramount+ is owned by Paramount (PARA 1.51%), and Amazon recently acquired MGM Studios.
At various points in time, Netflix had deals with many of these companies to stream their content on its platform. However, many of the studios have pulled their content from Netflix to stream on their own channels. With some exceptions, much of Netflix's content at this point is from its own studios.The benefit of that system is that Netflix can send its content straight to streaming, which is a good thing for subscribers. It also makes for fresher content instead of recycled content from other studios.
However, it also becomes very expensive. And that's where Netflix's competitors have an advantage. The studio-owned streaming sites -- which are all of the above except for Netflix, Roku and Apple -- take billions of dollars in proceeds at the box office. That goes a long way toward covering production expenses before bringing content to streaming, and that operational model gives them more resources to cover straight-to-streaming content as well.
If Netflix wants to be able to compete with these studios, it needs the resources to produce content on the same level as the major studios. Prior to the pandemic, it was moving in that direction. But with all the streaming companies pouring money into new content to capture market share, Netflix has also raised its content spending, without the benefit of ticket sales to cover costs.
I first noted this as an advantage for Disney, but the new management at Warner Bros Discovery is moving to make the most of the model as well. It recently said that it would focus on sending more feature films to theater before streaming, and it's also entertaining the idea of launching an ad-supported tier.
Without the option of sending films to theaters, Netflix will have a much harder time recouping costs for high-caliber films. And if it wants to stay competitive, it needs high-caliber content.
What are Netflix's options?
So far, Netflix is taking the other approach -- moving toward the ad-supported model to get more viewers and make money in other ways, a similar model to Roku. Roku's advertising business is strong, enough so that it was able to roll out its own original content last year. They have been a great success with viewers, and Netflix may succeed this way, with an ad-supported tier, as well.
Does it make sense for Netflix to release its films to theaters? That's another avenue it might be pursuing. It has done so in a limited way in the past, and according to Bloomberg, it's in talks with AMC (AMC -4.01%) and Cinemark Holdings (CNK 1.29%) about a trial run for some of its upcoming releases.
The only network we didn't talk about is Apple, which is unique because it's a streaming-only studio attached to another business. It's also not banking on a huge library to capture viewers. So while it may be losing tons of money on the service, it's negligible on Apple's total business.
Where does all this leave the top streaming provider? I would say Netflix is in a risky place right now as it struggles to find its footing again, and investors should keep that in mind. | https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/14/netflix-stock-may-be-riskier-than-you-think/?source=eptyholnk0000202&utm_source=yahoo-host&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=article&yptr=yahoo?src=rss | 2022-08-14T14:58:14Z | https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/14/netflix-stock-may-be-riskier-than-you-think/?source=eptyholnk0000202&utm_source=yahoo-host&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=article&yptr=yahoo?src=rss | true | 2 |
Officials: Fire at Coptic church in Cairo kills 41, hurts 14
CAIRO (AP) — A fire ripped through a packed church during morning services in Egypt’s capital on Sunday, killing at least 41 worshippers and injuring 14.
The church quickly filled with thick black smoke, and witnesses said several trapped congregants jumped from upper floors to escape. “Suffocation, suffocation, all of them dead,” said a distraught witness, who only gave a partial name, Abu Bishoy.
The cause of the blaze in the Abu Sefein church in the working-class neighborhood of Imbaba was not immediately known. An initial investigation pointed to an electrical short-circuit, according to a police statement.
Footage from the scene circulated online showed burned furniture, including wooden tables and chairs. Firefighters were seen putting out the blaze while others carried victims to ambulances. Families waited for word on relatives who were inside the church.
Witnesses said there were many children inside the building when the fire broke out.
“There are children we didn’t know how to get to them,” said Abu Bishoy. “And we don’t know whose son this is, or whose daughter that is. Is this possible?”
The country’s health minister blamed the smoke and a stampede as people attempted to flee the fire for causing the fatalities. It was one of the worst fire tragedies in Egypt in recent years.
Witness Emad Hanna said the church includes two places used as a daycare for children, and that a church worker managed to get many children out.
“We went upstairs and found people dead. And we started to see from outside that the smoke was getting bigger, and people want to jump from the upper floor. ... We found the children.”
Egypt’s Coptic Church and the country’s health ministry reported the casualty toll. The church said the fire broke out while a service was underway. The church is located in a narrow street in one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in Cairo.
Fifteen firefighting vehicles were dispatched to the scene to put out the flames while ambulances ferried casualties to nearby hospitals, officials said.
President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi spoke by phone with the Coptic Christian Pope Tawadros II to offer his condolences, the president’s office said. Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, Al-Azhar’s Grand Imam, also offered his condolences to the head of the Coptic church.
“I am closely following the developments of the tragic accident,” el-Sissi wrote on Facebook. “I directed all concerned state agencies and institutions to take all necessary measures, and immediately to deal with this accident and its effects.”
Health Minister Khaled Abdel-Ghafar said in a statement that two of the injured were discharged from a hospital while 12 others were still being treated.
The Interior Ministry said it received a report on the fire at 9 a.m. local time, and that they found that the blaze broke out in an air conditioner in the building’s second floor.
The ministry, which oversees police and firefighters, blamed an electrical short-circuit for the fire, which produced huge amounts of smoke. Meanwhile, the country’s chief prosecutor, Hamada el-Sawy, ordered an investigation and a team of prosecutors were dispatched to the church.
Later on Sunday, emergency services said they managed to put out the blaze and the prime minister and other senior government officials arrived to inspect the site.
Egypt’s Christians account for some 10% of the nation’s more than 103 million people and have long complained of discrimination by the nation’s Muslim majority.
Sunday’s blaze was one of the worst fire tragedies in recent years in Egypt, where safety standards and fire regulations are poorly enforced. In March last year, a fire at a garment factory near Cairo killed at least 20 people and injured 24 more.

You just had to post those parenting videos, Kevin Federline.
Britney Spears’ public spat with her ex-husband escalated late Wednesday night when Federline uploaded three videos taken by the former spouses’ sons, Jayden and Sean Federline, as their mother, um, mothered them. The videos were from four years ago, when the boys were 11 and 12.
“I can not sit back and let my sons be accused in this way after what they’ve been through. As much as it hurts us, we decided as a family to post these videos,” Federline, 44, captioned the videos on Instagram. “This isn’t even the worst of it. The lies have to stop. I hope our kids grow up to be better than this.”
In the short clips, as described by Page Six, Spears chastises one of her boys for going into an ice cream shop with no shoes on and, in another video, tells a son to respect her — it’s her house, she says sternly — when she enters his room to give him lotion for his “coarse” face.
In the third video, Spears and sons Jayden and Sean argue about who is interrupting whom, with Jayden saying to his mother, “I think you just care about yourself, because you won’t let us speak one word and you won’t let us go anywhere we wanna go.”
Federline has since taken down the videos, perhaps in response to backlash. As of Friday morning, his Instagram account had zero posts.
“It’s so bizarre that Kevin Federline is posting videos of Britney’s kids ‘arguing’ with her that are just her being a parent while they are mad disrespectful to her,” cultural critic and feminist writer Roxane Gay tweeted Thursday. “Like ... good for her knowing what it means to parent.”
“Dear Kevin Federline. You released a 'scathing' video of a mom being a mom. Sometimes moms -gasp - have reactions,” tweeted Ally Reid, a radio host in Albany, New York. “They might discipline by taking things away or ask for respect. This is shocking but sometimes moms will argue with their kids.”
“Kevin Federline is a miserable excuse for a father. That is all,” tweeted “Skylanders Academy” voice actor Greg Ellis.
The drama started over the weekend after the Daily Mail posted tidbits from Federline’s upcoming ITV tell-all interview.
“The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now,” Federline said. “It’s been a few months since they’ve seen her. They made the decision not to go to her wedding” to Sam Asghari in June.
He also said Sean and Jayden had been affected by they mother’s habit of regularly posting nearly-nudes on her Instagram account.
“I try to explain to them, ‘Look, maybe that’s just another way she tries to express herself.’ But that doesn’t take away from the fact of what it does to them. It’s tough,” Federline told ITV. “I can’t imagine how it feels to be a teenager having to go to high school.”
Federline and wife Victoria share parenting duties over the teen boys, as well as daughters Jordan, 11, and Peyton, 8. Federline’s older kids with Shar Jackson — Kori, 20, and Kaleb, 18 — frequently visit, the Daily Mail said.
Spears’ ex initially got full custody of Sean and Jayden following the couple’s divorce in 2007, but that agreement changed over the years to allow the pop star more visitation. Only recently did the boys tell their mom they would be spending most of their time with their dad.
After Federline’s recent remarks, Spears chimed in this week in her Instagram Story, which has since expired, saying in part, “It’s hard for me to let go of things I truly love ... like my kids. The situation should have 100 percent been dealt with privately and definitely not online !!!”
She continued, writing, “Yeah, I know that teenagers are just hard to deal with at that age … but COME ON, there’s being rude then there’s being HATEFUL … they would visit me, walk in the door, go straight to their room and lock the door !!! The [court-appointed] MONITOR would tell me that he just likes to be in his room … I’m like why come visit me if they don’t even visit me !!! But I never said that because I have to be kind !!!”
She also laid out an accusation of marijuana use at the Federline home, writing, “I can guarantee you, that house has more weed than Ludacris, 50 Cent, Jay Z and Puff Daddy combined!” (That comment earned her some backlash because she mentioned only Black artists.)
“I can’t process how I dedicated 20 years of my life to those kids ... everything was about them !!!,” Spears wrote as the post neared its end. “For them to knock the breath out of me ... see you can’t fix me !!! No therapy or sense of worship can fix my heart !!! I will forever have trauma and I know this, I’ve accepted it.”
Spears’ attorney, Mathew S. Rosengart, wasn’t having any of what Federline was selling, saying in a statement Thursday that he wouldn’t stand for any bullying of his client.
“Whether he realizes it or not, Mr. Federline has not only violated the privacy and dignity of the mother of his children, he has undermined his own children, whose privacy he should protect,” the lawyer said.
“Putting aside his ITV interview, Mr. Federline’s ill-advised decision to post an old video of his 11 and 12 year old children was cruel, bottom of the barrel stuff. It was abhorrent. In addition to demeaning himself and violating societal norms, he has now also created various legal issues for himself including, but not limited to, implicating cyber-harassment and cyber-bullying statutes, among other things.”
Rosengart said he was working with Instagram to make sure Federline was adhering to its rules and exploring “all appropriate relief against him.”
“In the meantime, as Britney herself poignantly said, whatever is occurring between her and her boys should remain private,” he added. “We urge Mr. Federline to act with a measure of grace and decency and to cease from publicly discussing private matters, which benefits no one.” | https://www.postguam.com/entertainment/lifestyle/kevin-federline-thought-he-was-shaming-britney-spears-by-posting-those-videos-yeah-no/article_7239cb48-1b9a-11ed-ae18-7f064c1584b0.html | 2022-08-14T14:59:38Z | https://www.postguam.com/entertainment/lifestyle/kevin-federline-thought-he-was-shaming-britney-spears-by-posting-those-videos-yeah-no/article_7239cb48-1b9a-11ed-ae18-7f064c1584b0.html | true | 4 |
Because an employee at a Starbucks store in New York was fired, the entire workforce has left the store. The video that was filmed goes around the world.
New York – An incident at a Starbucks in New York is currently causing a stir on social media platforms worldwide. An employee who had worked at Starbucks for 13 years was fired. This led to a strike by the other employees, who left the Starbucks branch at the same time. The video recorded is recorded on the platform tik tok almost 24 million hits already.
33-year-old Sam Amato had spent most of his working life at Starbucks before being fired for a violation. According to reports, the violation has something to do with an early store closure, which was said to have happened weeks ago.
Starbucks in the US: Workers join union
Like the US magazine fortune reports that Amato is involved in the union for the rights of employees. The assumption is that his dismissal is related to his union membership. However, the American coffeehouse chain, which is known for catering to its customers’ special requests, denies that this was the reason for the dismissal, according to the article by fortune
Latte Macchiato, Cappuccino & Co.: What is what?
Latte Macchiato, Cappuccino & Co.: What is what?
In the US, more and more Starbucks stores are joining the union to take action against systematically unfair working conditions within the company as well as chronic understaffing and a lack of occupational safety. Starbucks spokesman Reggie Borges sent an email to the request of the New York Times say that the company has no objection to workers organizing.
After termination at Starbucks: All employees leave the store in New York
The strength of the employee movement is illustrated by the incident at the Starbucks store in the city of Buffalo, New York. When Amato left the store on the day he was fired, he didn’t go alone. All the employees who worked in the store went out with him to show their support. Several union members from Starbucks Workers United and workers from other locations joined. The action was filmed and the video was finally posted on the platform tik tok released.
Also the TV station RTL took up the topic in its reporting. In Germany, the story about the striking Starbucks employees is also well received. Comments such as “class and respect” or “such a team spirit is great” accumulate under the Facebook-Post by RTL. However, a reference to Germany is also made in the comments: “Wouldn’t be possible in Germany, everyone here thinks of themselves,” wrote one user. Another commented: “It will never happen in Germany, everyone is their own neighbor. There is no more cohesion here!” (hg)

What can you buy for Australia’s median house price?
The median house price across Australia’s capital cities is now $1,065,447, and a budget that size will stretch further in some parts of the country than others.
Depending on the location, and the amount of renovation required, buyers might be looking at a home just a few kilometres from a CBD, or much further afield.
The median house price across the capital cities fell 0.9 per cent in the June quarter compared to three months earlier, but is still 10.9 per cent higher than a year ago and well above pre-pandemic levels.
In pricey Sydney, buyers would need to travel some distance from the city centre to find a detached house on a million-dollar budget.
In Campbelltown, a four-bedroom house with a two-bedroom granny flat at 25 Grandview Drive is for sale with a price guide of $910,000 and $975,000.
It has been advertised as suitable for an extended family or an investor.
A potential buyer hoping to stay close to the city might prefer to look for an apartment, such as the two-bedroom offering at 4/5 Wolseley Street, Drummoyne, asking $950,000.
For that price, buyers get a charming 40-plus-year-old apartment and stunning views of Sydney Harbour and the CBD.
CobdenHayson Drummoyne selling agent Chad Egan said apartments in the block can sell for well above $1 million.
“Wolseley Street is a popular street and this is a 1970s red brick apartment, so the demographic will be young couples and investors,” Egan said.
Though Sydney’s property market is facing headwinds as interest rates rise, and the rising cost of living hits home buyers’ budgets, Egan said properties priced between $950,000 and $1.1 million were still seeing good interest from buyers.
In Melbourne, buyers can find a house on land closer to the city, if they are prepared to do a renovation.
A three-bedroom Victorian home at 118 Farrell Street in Port Melbourne is listed for $1.05 million to $1.15 million but needs renovating.
Chisholm & Gamon Property Port Melbourne associate director Jon Kett said the vendors had owned the property since 2010 as an investment.
“This home is ready to renovate,” Kett said. “It’s going to need a little bit of work to bring it up to modern standards.”
Buyers looking to get into the market with a budget of $1 million or just above could expect to buy a property that needed work, especially in areas closer to the city such as Port Melbourne, he said.
“Most people looking around the $1 million mark are looking to buy and add value [by renovating],” Kett said.
Better bang for buck is on offer further afield, such as this house in Dingley Village about 23 kilometres southeast of the CBD.
A modern five-bedroom family home at 27 Village Drive has been advertised for between $995,000 and $1.04 million. The house features an outdoor entertaining area and a heated, in-ground pool.
Brisbane buyers can find a house close to the city centre in the low seven figures if they are open to giving their new home a facelift.
This three-bedroom ‘pink palace’ at 34 Michael Street, Bulimba, features street art by the current owner and is listed for offers over $975,000.
Just 4 kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD, it includes a pink facade and illustrations ranging from a bird to a Day of the Dead, Mexican folk-art inspired piece.
Inside, the home has a brightly decorated kitchen, but also needs some TLC.
Ray White Bulimba selling agent William Low said buyers were still interested despite the renovation work required.
“People are fearful of inflation and interest rates, so it is getting a little bit harder to sell properties that need renovation, but we’re expecting this one to sell by the end of the week,” Low said.
Just three kilometres from Adelaide’s CBD, another fixer-upper is for sale. Built in 1918, the property at 27 Cambridge Street, North Adelaide, is listed for sale with a $975,000 to $1.05 million price tag.
The semi-detached home has a “rare” backyard for that part of the city, and a car park.
It’s not the only historic home for sale, with a 1910-built property at 83 Carlton Street, New Town, about 4 kilometres from central Hobart, advertised for offers over $1.045 million.
The home includes some of its original stained-glass charm, has four bedrooms, and comes with stunning views.
Some of the best views at this price point are 5 kilometres from Perth’s CBD in Crawley.
There, buyers can find a modern three-bedroom apartment at 9W/4 Crawley Avenue which has views of the Swan River from one side, and Kings Park Botanic Garden on the other.
The apartment is listed with a price guide of $969,000 and for that money, buyers will get a renovated pad with separate laundry and a study. | https://www.theage.com.au/property/news/what-can-you-buy-for-australia-s-median-house-price-20220809-p5b8ga.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-08-14T15:07:12Z | https://www.theage.com.au/property/news/what-can-you-buy-for-australia-s-median-house-price-20220809-p5b8ga.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | true | 5 |
This Sunday marks the tenth anniversary of the disappearance of American journalist Austin Tice. He is believed to have been kidnapped in a suburb of Damascus, Syria, in 2012.
"He is in Syria. That is a certainty," Tice's mother, Debra Tice, said of the intelligence she is aware of. "He's definitely being held with a government-related entity." She spoke to All Things Considered this past week about her yearslong effort to free her son, who is also a Marine Corps veteran.
Austin Tice's mother said her son was in Syria to report on the country's civil war at the time in order "to show the world the real cost of war," she said.
The world last saw a glimpse of Tice in a 46-second video posted on YouTube in September 2012.
In it, the freelance journalist appears in torn clothing, is blindfolded and is being led by masked men with guns. The men are chanting, "God is greatest."
Tice is recorded reciting a common Islamic phrase in Arabic, his head bowed in distress. He cries out, "Oh Jesus, oh Jesus" just before the video clip ends.
The video at the time suggested that Tice, then 31, was seized by Islamic extremists.
The U.S. government has since publicly confirmed that Tice has been held by the Syrian government.
"We have repeatedly asked the government of Syria to work with us so that we can bring Austin home," President Biden said in a statement this past week. "On the tenth anniversary of his abduction, I am calling on Syria to end this and help us bring him home."
The Syrian government has never acknowledged having Tice in custody.
The Tice family continues to push the White House to do more to negotiate with the Syrian government.
"It's gonna take three things: engagement and negotiation and confession. Those are always going to be an intrinsic part of any kidnapping, any hostage-taking," she told NPR. "And the United States government has not been willing to engage directly with the Syrian government. And until that happens, nothing else can happen."
The Tice family has now called on three administrations, including that of former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, to negotiate with the Syrian government for their son's release.

When Ross Taylor realised Indians liked watching Rahul Dravid more than tigers
New Delhi, Aug 14: Former New Zealand cricketer Ross Taylor got to learn about Indians' love for their cricketing heroes once he went on to a jungle safari with former India captain Rahul Dravid during the Indian Premier League (IPL). Taylor joined Rajasthan Royals from Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2011.
In his autobiography 'Ross Taylor: Black And White', the legendary New Zealand cricketer revealed how during his trip to Ranthambore National Park to spot a tiger, he saw the fans were more interested in watching Dravid than the tiger.
As reported by stuff.co.nz, Taylor wrote in his autobiography, "I asked Dravid, 'how many times have you seen a tiger?' He said, 'I've never seen a tiger. I've been on 21 of these expeditions and haven't seen a single one.' I thought, 'What? 21 safaris for zero sightings.' Seriously, if I'd known that, I wouldn't have gone. I would've said, "No thanks, I'll watch the Discovery channel. Jake Oram had been out in the morning - no joy. There was some baseball game on TV that he wanted to watch so he didn't come with us on the mid-afternoon safari. It wasn't long before our driver got a radio call from a colleague to say they'd found T-17, a famous, tagged tiger. Dravid was thrilled: 21 safaris without seeing as much as a tiger turd, but half an hour into number 22 he'd hit pay dirt."
"We pulled up beside the other vehicles, open-top SUVs a bit bigger than Land Rovers. The tiger was on a rock, a good 100 metres away. We were stoked to see a tiger in the wild, but the people in the other vehicles immediately aimed their cameras at Rahul. They were as excited to see him as we were to see the tiger. Maybe more: across the globe further. there are almost 4000 tigers in the wild, but there's only one Rahul Dravid," he wrote
In his book, the former Kiwi cricketer also made some shocking revelations about his time spent with RR and opened up about how he had been slapped after getting out for a duck. While making the shocking revelation, Taylor did soften the blow, by adding that the slaps were not hard, but could have been 'play-acting'.
Taylor revealed that the incident occurred after he fell for a duck during Rajasthan Royals' chase against Punjab Kings, then known as Kings XI Punjab. With a tough ask on the board, the Royals suffered a big blow as Taylor fell for a duck in the crucial fixture.
Following his dismissal, one of the owners of the Rajasthan franchise slapped him across the face. Taylor added that though the slaps weren't hard, he wasn't too sure that it was all play-acting.
Taylor wrote further, "Rajasthan played Kings XI Punjab in Mohali. The chase was 195, I was lbw for a duck and we didn't get close. "Afterwards, the team, support staff, and management were in the bar on the top floor of the hotel. Liz Hurley was there with Warnie. One of the Royals owners said to me, "Ross, we didn't pay you a million dollars to get a duck' and slapped me across the face three or four times." | https://www.mykhel.com/amphtml/cricket/when-ross-taylor-realised-indians-liked-watching-rahul-dravid-more-than-tigers-195669.html | 2022-08-14T15:17:38Z | https://www.mykhel.com/amphtml/cricket/when-ross-taylor-realised-indians-liked-watching-rahul-dravid-more-than-tigers-195669.html | false | 4 |
Inflation, explained: Why prices keep going up and who’s to blame
By Allison Morrow and Nicole Goodkind, CNN Business
Confused about inflation? You’re not alone.
Inflation is, paradoxically, both incredibly simple to understand and absurdly complicated.
Let’s start with the simplest version: Inflation happens when prices broadly go up.
That “broadly” is important: At any given time, the price of goods will fluctuate based on shifting tastes. Someone makes a viral TikTok about brussels sprouts and suddenly everyone’s gotta have them; boom, sprouts prices go up. Meanwhile, sellers of cauliflower, last season’s trendy veg, are practically giving their goods away. Such fluctuations are constant.
Inflation, however, occurs when the average price of virtually everything consumers buy goes up. Food, houses, cars, clothes, toys, etc. To afford those necessities, wages have to rise, too.
It’s not always a bad thing. In the United States, for the past 40 years or so (and particularly this century), we’ve been living in an ideal low-and-slow level of inflation that comes with a well-oiled consumer-driven economy, with prices going up around 2% a year, if that. Sure, prices on some things, like housing and health care, are much higher than they used to be, but other things, like computers and TVs, have become much cheaper — so the average of all the things combined has been relatively stable.
Still with me?
All right, let’s cut to today, and why inflation is all over the news.
When ‘inflation’ is a bad word
Inflation becomes problematic when that low-and-slow simmer gets fired up to a boil. That’s when you hear economists talk about the economy “overheating.” For a variety of reasons, largely stemming from the pandemic, the global economy finds itself at a rigorous boil right now.
Economists use two main gauges to track inflation in the United States, and while both eased between June and July, they’re still near their highest level in four decades.
The Consumer Price Index for July rose 8.5%. The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, which the Federal Reserve prefers, rose 9.8% in July from the same period a year earlier.
And here’s where Econ 101 merges a bit with Psych 101. There’s a behavioral economics aspect to inflation, where it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. When prices go up for a long enough period of time, consumers start to anticipate the price increases. You’ll buy more goods today if you think they’ll cost appreciably more tomorrow. That has the effect of increasing demand, which causes prices to rise even more. And so on. And so on.
That’s where it can get especially tricky for the Fed, whose main job is to control money supply and keep inflation in check.
How’d we get here?
Blame the pandemic. And Russia’s war on Ukraine.
In the spring of 2020, as Covid-19 spread, it was like yanking the plug on the global economy. Factories around the world shut down; people stopped eating at restaurants; airlines grounded flights. Millions of people were laid off as business disappeared practically overnight. The unemployment rate in America shot up to nearly 15% from about 3.5% in February 2020.
It was the sharpest economic contraction on record.
At the same time, the Fed implemented emergency stimulus measures to keep financial markets from tanking. The central bank slashed interest rates to near zero and began pumping tens of billions of dollars every month into the markets by buying up corporate debt. In doing so, the bank likely prevented a full-on financial meltdown. But keeping those easy-money policies in place over the past 20 months has also fueled — you guessed it — inflation.
By early summer 2020, demand for consumer goods started to pick back up. Rapidly. Congress and President Joe Biden passed a historic $1.9 trillion stimulus bill in March that made Americans suddenly flush with cash and unemployment assistance. People started shopping again. Demand went from zero to 100, but supply couldn’t bounce back so easily.
Turns out that when you pull out the plug on the global economy, you can’t just plug it back in and expect it to start humming at the same pace as before.
Take cars, for example. Automakers saw the Covid crisis beginning and did what any smart business would do — shut down temporarily to mitigate losses. But not long after the pandemic shut factories down, it also drove up demand for cars as people worried about exposure on public transit and avoided flying. Automakers (and car buyers) had whiplash.
Cars require an immense number of parts, from an immense number of different factories all around the world, to be built by highly skilled laborers in other parts of the world. Getting all of those discreet operations back online takes time, and doing so while keeping workers from getting sick takes even more time.
Economists often describe inflation as too much money chasing too few goods. That’s exactly what happened with cars. And houses. And Peloton bikes. And any number of other goods that became hot ticket items.
How’s the supply chain involved in all this?
“Supply chain bottlenecks” — that’s another one you see all over, right?
Let’s go back to the car example.
We know that high demand + limited supply = prices go up.
But high demand + limited supply + production delays = prices go up even more.
All modern cars rely on a variety of computer chips to function. But those chips are also used in cellphones, appliances, TVs, laptops and dozens of other items that, as bad luck would have it, were all in high demand at the same time.
That’s just one example of the disconnect in the global supply chain. Because new cars have been slow to roll in, used car demand shot through the roof, which drove overall inflation higher. In some cases, car owners were able to sell their used cars for more than what they paid for them a year or two prior.
What happens next?
Prices and wages could be starting to ease, but will likely remain elevated for some time. For how long, and by how much, depends on countless variables across the globe.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine dashed hopes that prices would come down significantly in 2022.
The conflict has upended commodity and oil markets, driving up prices of food and gasoline around the world. That’s compounding supply chain headaches, leading to further shortages of critical food items and oil.
Lockdowns in China earlier this summer, meanwhile, left the world’s largest seaport essentially at a standstill. Corporations bear some blame as well, as many big companies have been raising prices to protect their profit margins.
And there’s no telling what kind of new shocks — a resurgent Covid variant, a massive shipping container getting stuck in a waterway, a natural disaster — could set back progress.
There’s no single government or central bank that can fix the inflation resulting from those global disruptions.
But central banks are doing what they can. In the United States, the Fed began raising rates in March by a quarter of a percentage point — its first increase since 2018 — and have since raised rates four times this year. There’s no sign that they’ll stop anytime soon.
When money becomes more expensive to borrow, that can take the heat off price increases and bring the economy back down to that nice, gentle simmer. Or so the Fed hopes. Its biggest challenge is to deploy interest rate hikes at a pace the economy can tolerate — raising them too much, or too quickly, would risk collapsing demand, which could derail economic growth or even cause a recession.

When someone set ablaze the only Planned Parenthood health clinic in Knoxville, Tenn., earlier this year, the center was immediately inundated with patients' questions of what will happen to their care – but it wasn't just about abortion services.
"We were flooded with calls more from our gender-affirming hormone patients than from any other type of patient because we are a continuing source of care for gender-affirming patients," Ashley Coffield, the chief executive officer of the Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi, told NPR.
"It was very upsetting and scary to them when we were suddenly gone."
When reproductive health clinics close, it's not just access to abortions that are lost, but also an array of services — like birth control, sex education and gender-affirming treatments — that can disappear.
And some of those services, like hormone replacement therapy, require patients to see their physician more regularly than typical patients visiting for abortion or birth control services, Coffield explains.
That's why she and other providers are particularly worried about how future clinic closures may impact transgender and nonbinary patients, who already face many barriers to health care. The threat of losing access also comes as some states ramp up legal efforts to restrict such care, particularly for transgender youth.
Gender-affirming care includes medical, social and psychological support to help a person understand and appreciate their gender identity. That care could be helpful to anyone but is especially life-saving for transgender and nonbinary people.
Dr. Bhavik Kumar, the medical director of primary and trans care at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, told NPR the community faces a crisis.
"With trans care, this is not a drill," he said. "As much as people are concerned about abortion care and access to abortion – which is very important – we should also be concerned about trans people and preserving their humanity and dignity."
Both gender-affirming treatments and abortions are essential but stigmatized health care, providers say
Before the fire, more than 700 of the Knoxville clinic's 4,000 patients sought hormone replacement therapy in 2021, according to Coffield.
That makes sense, she added, because clinics that perform abortions are often well-positioned to provide gender-affirming care.
"Both gender-affirming hormone care and abortions are essential health care that aren't offered by most providers, and both are stigmatized services," she said. "So the same values we use in abortion care — like self-determination, respect and a nonjudgmental approach to health care — translate really easily into serving our gender-affirming hormone care patients."
Kumar said that's why more than half of all Planned Parenthood health centers offer gender-affirming care including hormone replacement therapy, mental health services and support with legal processes like name changes.
Over 35,000 of Planned Parenthood's patients nationwide sought gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy in 2021, and that number doesn't include trans and nonbinary people who relied on other services, according to Kumar.
After the fire, transgender and non-binary patients scrambled to find new providers
When Jake Gutridge received word that his Planned Parenthood health clinic burned down, his immediate thought was, "Oh God, what am I gonna do?"
Gutridge told NPR he had been relying on the clinic to receive hormone replacement therapy for nearly two years. At the time, Planned Parenthood was the only provider he knew of that was nearby and didn't require insurance.
For weeks, he tried to refill his medication with the Planned Parenthood centers in North Carolina and Georgia, both of which are over four hours away. But appointments were booked up to a month, he said. Gutridge quickly fell into withdrawal, suffering from mood swings and anxiety.
Eventually, he was connected to a gender-affirming physician in east Tennessee but Gutridge largely chalked it up to luck. Eight months later, people seeking hormone replacement therapy are still reeling from the fire and reaching out to Gutridge for help.
Since the reversal of Roe, Gutridge said he wouldn't be surprised if other communities experience a similar fallout.
"There's a lot of people who think gender-affirming care is more of a privilege, but it's necessary health care," Gutridge said. "I used to feel trapped in my body, like I was constantly fighting against myself. When I started testosterone, I finally felt like I was in control. It saved my life."
Providers also prepared for a rush of new patients
After the fire, the Planned Parenthood affiliate continued to offer services through telehealth. But even then, Coffield said only a fraction of their transgender and nonbinary patients could be served because of capacity constraints.
That's when local physicians began to see a surge of inquiries about gender-affirming care.
"We had an extremely huge influx of folks that had been displaced," Dr. Annie Kolarik told NPR. She is a primary care doctor whose office is located a few miles from the former Planned Parenthood location.
At Cherokee Health Systems, Kolarik estimated that she now serves over 150 patients who had relied on gender-affirming care from Planned Parenthood – many of whom travel at least an hour to receive services. Before the fire, she had about 30 patients seeking that kind of care.
To meet the demand, Kolarik said Cherokee Health Systems set up an online appointment system to expedite scheduling and began using telehealth services. Doctors and other practitioners are meeting with patients on their lunch of administrative breaks.
"People should expect similar surges if places where Planned Parenthoods or abortion clinics that offer gender-affirming care end up closing," she said.
Choice Health Network, a provider in the area that exclusively serves HIV-positive patients and those at risk of contracting the virus, has also seen a higher call volume about gender-affirming treatments. It's considering expanding such services, a nurse practitioner at Choice Health Network told NPR.
"The fire seemed designed to send a message to all of us who support Planned Parenthood or who use its services – that we are not safe," Meg Gill said. "We need to continue to offer those services and, as much as possible, to expand them."
Even in states where abortions are outlawed, clinics are fighting to provide gender-affirming care
In areas where gender-affirming care is few and far between, clinics like Planned Parenthood are often the only place where transgender and nonbinary people access any kind of health care, said Kumar, who is in the Gulf Coast.
"When that's taken away, they're left sometimes with no options," he added.
So far, no Planned Parenthood clinics have closed since the Supreme Court's decision in June to overturn Roe v. Wade. Even in states imposing abortion bans, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood's national organization told NPR their clinics are determined to stay open to continue offering services like gender-affirming care.
In that vein, the Planned Parenthood health clinic in Knoxville, Tenn., is planning to rebuild its office as well as launch a mobile health unit in the fall to keep providing support. That's despite the state planning to ban all abortion at the end of August.
"Everyone who knows us in Knoxville isn't surprised that we're reopening whether abortion is banned or not because they count on us for so many other services," Coffield said.
Independent providers, who tend to more financially rely on abortion services, are also fighting to keep their doors open.
In West Virginia, the Women's Health Center recently expanded its services to provide hormone replacement therapy– even as it might lose nearly half of its revenue if lawmakers enact an abortion ban, the clinic's executive director told NPR.
"We believe in patient-centered health care that honors autonomy and dignity of our clients. Expanding our service array to include gender-affirming hormone therapy is completely in line with that vision," Katie Quinonez said.
"No matter what happens to legal abortion in our state, we will continue doing everything in our power to expand and meet the health care needs in our community."

Mary Helen Banks, 73, of Camas Valley, Oregon, passed away on Aug. 3, 2022. Mary Helen was born on May 7, 1949, daughter to the late Carrie and Lloyd Pope. She is survived by her husband Everett Banks, son Eric Banks, grandsons Eyn Banks and Kadyn Banks, brother Preston Pope (Janice Weatherbie) and many other family members and friends.
Everett and Mary Helen were married for 46 years, and Mary Helen loved camping with Everett, cooking his favorite meals, visiting him when he worked out of town and otherwise taking care of him. Recently, Everett took over most things, and also landscaped the perfect garden for Mary Helen to enjoy in her final days. She absolutely loved the garden!
Mary Helen loved being a mom and grandma. She was extremely proud of her son Eric and the great strides he made in recent years. As Eric said, she always had his back. Mary Helen also loved being a grandma and supported her grandsons Eyn and Kadyn in all they did.
Mary Helen also cherished her relationships with her mother Carrie and grandmother Lilia Burroway, and selflessly cared for them in their final years (her grandma living to be 99½ years old). Mary Helen was very close to her brother Preston and loved how Preston could make her laugh any time (which he did even in her final days).
Mary Helen will be remembered for her generosity and big heart. She was a “second mom” to many. Together, Mary Helen and Everett helped raise Rhonda Armstrong (Rhonnie Sanko). Mary Helen also took Karina Distefano under her wings. And, many times through the years, Mary Helen opened her home to friends or family who needed a place to stay.
Mary Helen will also be remembered for her community contributions. For many years, she worked on the birthday calendar (including in her final weeks) and was an avid Booster Club member cheering on kids and welcoming Hornet fans. Mary Helen was also a school bus driver and, in listening to her, there was no doubt she loved so many of the parents, teachers and kids and they loved her in return.
In her free time, Mary Helen enjoyed gardening and took pride in her beautiful flowers she grew each year. She also liked sewing, crocheting, needlepoint, quilting and canning foods. She often shared her creations or plant clippings as gifts, and patiently taught many how to do these things.
Following in her mother’s footsteps, Mary Helen was extremely devoted to her faith and a long-time member of the Camas Valley Community Missionary church. In her final days, she never once complained, rather proudly proclaimed she was “ready” to join Jesus and go to heaven.
Mary Helen was loved by many who will miss her smiles, laughs, hugs, honesty, community presence and generosity.
Family and friends of Mary Helen are invited to participate in a celebration of Mary Helen’s life to be held Aug. 28, 2022, at 3 p.m. in the gym at Camas Valley High School.

No one deserves to go through that feeling that they are being deceived by someone important, especially when you are lovingly connected to them. With that in mind, some researchers have developed a study whose results can show who may be deceiving you.

Is someone cheating on you? know who
Who has never felt that bad feeling that someone on the other side of the screen is cheating on you? Living with this suspicion is not cool. Faced with this reality, some specialists in psychology and related areas have developed a survey to make it possible to identify the less than honest individuals who are lying to us.
Talking face-to-face and texting are two totally different conditions. Talking in person with someone allows the other to notice some signs that something is wrong just by observing the way of talking, the constant exchange of glances and some gesture that is involuntary in the liar.
While this seems very tricky to detect in texts, Cornell University has shown that there are ways to investigate this and immediately recognize who might be lying to you. Know some of these details and get smarter the next time you’re talking to someone.
How to identify who may be deceiving you by message
According to studies publicized, the amount of words that are sent via text message says a lot about who you are dealing with, often whoever is lying will type fewer words to avoid opportunities to get stuck in their own words. The use of non-committal pronouns and phrases are some of the examples to watch out for when talking to the person in question.
Uncertainty phrases are another lie indicator used so that liars don’t have to commit to a certain story, leaving their intentions ambiguous. For example, liars can use “probably” or “possibly”.
In relation to both sexes, it is important to be aware, because women and men do not have the same behavior when it comes to lying! People in general tend to communicate more briefly and even objectively when they are feeding you a lie. True answers are more spontaneous.
Experts say this is due to the way we all behave in the face of a lie.
Women, compared to men, tend to use more pronouns and write only the basics. Men explain themselves more, although nothing is true in their statements. Generally speaking, non-committal words like “maybe”, “I will try” and “is likely” are the most typed when the person is lying or dodging. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/14/see-how-to-find-out-who-is-cheating-on-you-by-message-check-the-signs-2/ | 2022-08-14T15:39:46Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/14/see-how-to-find-out-who-is-cheating-on-you-by-message-check-the-signs-2/ | true | 3 |
What is heirloom coffee?
Heirloom coffee is a convenient (sort of) way to describe Arabica coffee plants whose variety may not be easy to ascertain. The term is of particularly abundant usage in reference to Ethiopian coffees, of which there are thousands of varieties, and where a particular producer’s output may include a broad range of these. When these coffees don’t fall into the easy categories that cultivated coffees in other growing origins do, they have often been grouped into the vague term “heirloom”.
Is there a specific criteria for what makes a heirloom coffee?
Like other so-called heirloom plants, such as tomatoes or peppers, heirloom suggests a plant that has been grown in a specific geographical area for—typically—several generations within that same geographical area, by the same farming family or group. For heirloom coffees, there is not a specific date or age cutoff that determines when a cultivar is said to become “heirloom”. Rather, it must meet the criteria of being a regionally specific, family or community specific plant that has been grown over generations of time.
Agronomist and author Getu Bekele, co-author of the book A Reference Guide to Ethiopian Coffee Varieties, refers to this as meeting both the criteria of “time and space.”
Do other countries have heirloom varieties besides Ethiopia?
Sort of, but not in the same way. In Ethiopia, a country with an epically long history of growing Arabica coffee, it is common to classify coffee by regional attributes—e.g. Sidamo, Guji, Yirgacheffe—rather than by the names of cultivars. This isn’t the practice worldwide.
“Outside of Ethiopia, it is pretty common to refer coffee varieties using their breeding names; a name given by breeders,” says Bekele. “In most of the coffee producing countries in Africa and South America, coffee varieties are not described as heirloom. Ethiopia has a diverse coffee-growing agro-ecology that resulted in the creation of different geographical regions known for unique coffee flavors. The space and time concepts associated with heirloom are missing for most coffee producing countries except for Ethiopia.”
What is meant by “landrace” and when is it preferable to say that instead?
Many roasters have begun to move away from “heirloom” nomenclature and have started referring to Ethiopian coffees as “landrace”, which gives more honor to the idea of these plants as part of their evolving agricultural and environmental contexts. Many landrace varieties, for example, are named after the (regular) trees among which the coffee treeletsgrow, like Kurume and Dega. Others may be named after characteristics, like Buna Guracha for its blackish (guaracha in Afan Oromo language) coloring. The name landrace more closely describes a coffee’s adaptation within a particular geography than the term heirloom.
“Landrace is not bounded by the concept of time and ownership,” explains Bekele. “It is all about the presence of genetically close but still diverse coffee varieties adapting to a specific region. In Ethiopia, the reality is there is not a single coffee variety which is owned by a specific family and passed down over several generations. Rather there are a mix of different coffee varieties in a given farm and also shared among several coffee farmers residing in a wider geographical area. Here, the term landrace best describes the real nature of the Ethiopian coffee varieties,” Bekele says, adding that of course, landrace is still a catch-all term that doesn’t give a full view of the diversity of varieties within it.
Should or could “heirloom” (and landrace) coffees be broken down into more specific categories?
“This journey has already been started,” says Bekele, crediting the expansion of the specialty coffee industry and continued interest in sourcing high-quality Ethiopian coffees in advancing this movement towards greater specificity.
As Bekele and co-author Tim Hill point out in their book, reliance on the term “heirloom” can also leave the impression that scientific and agricultural progress has not been made in regards to Ethiopian coffees. This is not the case. For decades, the Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) has been working to improve coffee technologies within Ethiopia through experimentation and selection, including identification of unique landraces. The more specific we are able to get when identifying Ethiopian coffees, the more successful we can be in planting and growing coffees that thrive in their respective regions (or regions with similar climate and conditions), and in predicting yield and flavor profile outcomes for producers—which in turn should reap benefits for them on the market, and for us in our cups of coffee.

Readers send me questions about our news coverage and – fairly often – there is an underlying assumption that bias or some ulterior motive is at play behind word or coverage choices.
Transparency around our decision-making is one key way to increase understand and, I hope, trust in the news. Here are a few comments that have crossed my desk recently:
Reader comment: In these days of anti-gun and pro-Second Amendment sentiments, it is important to get the wording correct. A Glock is NOT an “automatic style-firearm” as described in your report under Eastbank Esplanade. … Either the author doesn’t know the difference or he wishes to drum up emotional sentiment by incorrectly describing the weapon. Hopefully it’s the former, not the latter.
A: The Associated Press Stylebook, which provides writing and usage guidance to journalists, has an extensive section on weapons. It says, “A rifle that fires one bullet each time the trigger is pulled, and automatically reloads for a subsequent shot, is a semi-automatic rifle. An automatic rifle continuously fires rounds if the trigger is depressed and until its ammunition is exhausted.”
In this case, the wording came from the probable cause affidavit filed by the district attorney’s office. These affidavits recount what witnesses have said and what evidence has been gathered to justify the criminal charge against someone. The affidavit said the suspect pulled out a black “automatic-style” firearm.
The Glock 23 that was recovered from the suspect in this homicide is manufactured as a semiautomatic pistol.
Comment: Regarding an Associated Press article, the name of the bill is “The Assault Weapons Ban of 2022.” AP calls it a ban on “semi-automatic guns” all the way through from the headline on and doesn’t have “assault weapons” anywhere in the article except in the picture caption and in a quote from President Joe Biden -- even when referring to the 1994 ban, which is universally known as the “Assault Weapons Ban.”
This has to be an intentional – and politically slanted -- choice by the AP editors.
A: The Associated Press avoids the term “assault weapon” outside of direct quotes because the label sheds more heat than light. Not everyone agrees on what constitutes an “assault rifle” so better to describe what it does. The entry to the Associated Press Stylebook says: “Avoid assault rifle and assault weapon, which are highly politicized terms that generally refer to AR- or AK-style rifles designed for the civilian market, but convey little meaning about the actual functions of the weapon. Avoid the terms preferred by advocates and gun manufacturers, such as military-style rifles or modern sporting rifles.”
Comment: Your wokeness is showing. Concerning the article about the unfortunate man who was shot in an apparent road-rage incident on his way home from the Oregon Coast a few days ago, I do believe that he was traveling with his wife, not his “partner.” You people are so afraid of appearing politically incorrect that it has become laughable.
A: In case you are unfamiliar with the term “wokeness,” I’ll start there. “Woke” once simply meant to be aware of racism and other social concerns. It has since become a term used derisively by people who think some of those concerns are just political correctness run amok. In this tragic instance (the victim died in the shooting), we used the term because the woman told our reporter the couple never married and she preferred “partner.”
Coverage of the Jan. 6 hearings generated many comments. Here are two about placement on OregonLive’s home page.
Comment: Just thumbing through OregonLive this morning, and I noticed your article regarding yesterday’s Jan. 6th hearing was some 27 articles down from the top. The article is well written and informative, but something as important as our Democracy being at stake should at least rate higher than a new Target store opening in Washington County, in my opinion.
Comment: I would like to continue to support The Oregonian. However, when your lead story, the day after the (Jan. 6) hearing is about the damn I-5 bridge, I can no longer support your paper.
A: I’ve said before OregonLive is primarily a local news and information site. That’s because readers can find national and world news from many sources, but our local news is often exclusive to us.
We also know, however, that people want everything in one place. Our editors try to make sure the site is kept up to date with significant news from elsewhere. New stories appear on the home page under the “Latest” label. The digital crew then moves stories around on the page based on how the audience is responding and also to keep the page fresh.
Depending on when a reader looks at OregonLive, they may see an article “27 articles down from the top” that had just appeared for several hours in the lead position. Typically, this is simply a matter of timing.

SAN JOSE, Calif. and ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The education experts and engineers at zSpace are announcing the launch of the ultimate AR/VR learning device to handle the substantial graphics and computing needs of STEM and Career and Technical Education (CTE) as well as esports, modeling and simulation and data visualization.
The zSpace Learning Station (LS) family now includes four options: the Inspire, the Inspire Pro, the zSpace All-in-One (AIO) and the zSpace AIO Pro. The latest Inspire laptops include hardware (a Windows-based laptop, a high-fidelity display, 4K Pantone capabilities, a CPU for design and esports, a haptic feedback stylus and optic tracking sensors) along with preloaded software, lessons, professional development, and support. The Inspire LS can be used anytime and anywhere, whether learners are in person, remote, or in a hybrid learning environment. Watch demonstration video.
"We've been creating immersive learning experiences since our inception, so it's been a long-term goal of ours to make zSpace easier to connect with the Metaverse in an anytime, anywhere learning environment. By eliminating the need for glasses to interact with 3D content, students can more easily engage with a multidimensional, virtual world," said Paul Kellenberger, CEO of zSpace. "We also added more powerful processing and graphics technology to the Inspire family to meet the needs of educators who are turning to esports, video game design and other graphics-heavy subjects to connect with and inspire students."
According to a recent national survey by The Learning Counsel, esports and social-emotional learning systems are the top two areas in which school administrators and teachers want to invest their technology budgets. Esports is a booming trend which may provide some of the same social and emotional learning benefits as traditional sports teams, as well as open the door to complex CTE and STEM subjects, including coding.
Bobby Blount, assistant superintendent at Cherokee County School District, has been incorporating zSpace technology in classrooms since 2015.
"As a district that's been using zSpace to deliver STEM content for over seven years, we've experienced firsthand the evolution of the product," he said. "The new zSpace Inspire delivers an AR/VR learning experience like never before. We're especially excited that zSpace has created a device that will not only deliver the zSpace learning experience, but can also support advanced software applications such as modeling and simulation and esports."
According to technology analyst and futurist Tim Bajarin, the immersive experience of zSpace Inspire has the potential to become a tool for everyone, not just teachers and students, to connect with virtual worlds in the future.
"While their current models are optimized for medical and educational purposes, zSpace's technology represents a potential way for a PC or laptop to also become a medium for delivering access to the Metaverse or virtual worlds, without the need for goggles or glasses," said Bajarin.
Using the Inspire LS for Teaching and Learning
The new Inspire Learning Stations no longer require specialized glasses because of stereoscopic 3D technology, which uses a specialized optical lens built into the screen, along with eye-tracking technology. This creates a set of images for each eye that are directly projected through the screen to where the eyes are looking for a unique, 3D experience. None of the data from eye-tracking movements is retained and is only used in the moment to create an accurate rendering of 3D content.
zSpace Inspire works as a typical 2D computer when processing 2D content such as productivity software, videoconferencing, and other common applications. The 3D content appears when using zSpace applications and other applications such as SpatialLabs Experiences. Inspire can also be used as a presentation tool in remote learning environments or in person.
A broad range of K-12 STEM and CTE coursework and applications is included with each Inspire LS, as well as applications for esports and modeling and simulation. More applications will be added in the near future such as web-based 3D content (including BlocksCAD) and a 3D esports package.
zSpace representatives will be available to discuss the new Inspire and demonstrate its capabilities at the National Future of Education Technology® Conference (FETC 2022) from January 26 to January 28 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida in booth 3234.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2700784373700/flood-advisory-issued-for-stanly-by-nws | 2022-08-14T16:04:24Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2700784373700/flood-advisory-issued-for-stanly-by-nws | true | 12721 |
This is the moment a car crashed into the back of traffic on a major city road after overtaking. A disorder allegedly then broke out following the multi-vehicle crash.
The cars involved in the collision were left badly damaged in Stratford Road, Sparkbrook following the incident just before 10.15pm on Friday, August 12. Dramatic photos show the vehicles crumpled - and blocking the road - in the aftermath.
Now, astonishing dashcam footage, sent into BirminghamLive, has revealed the moment the collision took place. The clip shows the overtaking driver hurtle past another car before slamming into the back of a stream of traffic.

As the white vehicle collides with the traffic ahead, it appears to fly up off the road. As many as four vehicles were involved in the smash, police said in an update issued on Sunday. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.
The force added that "some disorder" had allegedly erupted in the aftermath of the collision. Officers also issued an appeal, with anyone who has information urged to contact police.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "We received reports of a collision involving up to four cars on Stratford Road at just before 10.15pm on Friday (12 August). No-one was seriously injured.
"It's alleged there was some disorder following the collision and anyone with information is asked to contact us via Live Chat on our website and quote 4029 of 12/8/22."
Witness, Asif Butt, previously told BirminghamLive the incident was "sheer carnage" as he likened it to "watching an action movie." He said: “l went out to eat last night, after my meal whilst strolling I heard a loud bang.
"As I turned around I saw sheer carnage. Three cars and a bus were involved it was indescribable.
“There were people running towards the white car to see if everything was ok.
"The police and ambulances arrived at the scene. It was like watching an action movie.”

In Hyderabad, researchers have created 3D-printed artificial cornea and transplanted it into a rabbit eye.
Researchers from L.V. Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI), Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH), and the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), have collaborated to develop a 3D-printed cornea from a human donor corneal tissue.

‘Although corneal substitutes are being actively researched throughout the world, these are either animal-based or synthetic. Pig or other animal-based products are unsuitable for India and major parts of the developing world because of issues related to social and religious acceptability. In contrast, these human tissue-based 3-D printed corneas are not only safer but are also more affordable for patients with corneal blindness in India, they said.’
Developed indigenously through government and philanthropic funding, the product is completely natural, contains no synthetic components, is free of animal residues and is safe to use in patients, said a joint statement issued by the three research institutes.
Sayan Basu and Vivek Singh, lead researchers from L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, believe this can be a ground-breaking and disruptive innovation in treating diseases like corneal scarring (where the cornea becomes opaque) or Keratoconus (where the cornea gradually becomes thin with time).
"It is a made-in-India product by an Indian clinician-scientist team and the first 3-D printed human cornea that is optically and physically suitable for transplantation. The bio-ink used to make this 3D printed cornea can be sight-saving for army personnel at the site of injury to seal the corneal perforation and prevent infection during war-related injuries or in a remote area with no tertiary eye care facility," they said.
The cornea is the clear front layer of the eye that helps focus light and aids in clear vision. Corneal damage is a leading cause of blindness worldwide with more than 1.5 million new cases of corneal blindness reported every year. Corneal transplantation is the current standard of care for cases with severe disease and vision loss.
With recent advancements in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, the researchers from LVPEI, IITH and CCMB used decellularized corneal tissue matrix and stem cells derived from the human eye to develop a unique biomimetic hydrogel (patent pending) that was used as the background material for the 3D-printed cornea.
According to researchers, because the 3D-printed cornea is composed of materials deriving from human corneal tissue, it is biocompatible, natural, and free of animal residues. In addition, since the tissue used for this technology is derived from donor corneas that do not meet the optical standards for clinical transplantation, this method also finds unique use for the donated corneas that would otherwise be discarded.
Each donor cornea can aid in the preparation of three 3D-printed corneas. In addition, the cornea can be printed in various diameters from 3 mm to 13 mm and can be customized based on the specifications of the patient. This can potentially offer a solution to the shortage of donor corneas for transplantation and has great clinical significance.
However, the printed corneas will need to undergo further clinical testing and development before they can be used in patients, and this may take several years.
It will be interesting to see how the bioprinted cornea would integrate and contribute to vision restoration by modulation of the pathological microenvironment. Multiomic approaches would be used to understand these processes, says Dr Bokara Kiran Kumar, Senior Scientist, CCMB, one of the lead investigators of the project.
This research was funded by a grant from the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, and the translational work leading up to clinical trials in patients will be funded through a grant from Sree Padmavathi Venkateswara Foundation, Vijayawada.

Artificial Cornea
There is a huge gap between the demand and supply of donor corneal tissue worldwide, which is further complicated by the lack of adequate eye-banking networks, especially in the developing world. Less than 5 per cent of new cases every year are treated by corneal transplantations due to donor tissue shortage.With recent advancements in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, the researchers from LVPEI, IITH and CCMB used decellularized corneal tissue matrix and stem cells derived from the human eye to develop a unique biomimetic hydrogel (patent pending) that was used as the background material for the 3D-printed cornea.

LAKE MARY, Fla., Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) issued the following statement from IIA president and CEO Anthony Pugliese, CIA, CPA, CGMA, CITP in response to the National Association of Corporate Director's (NACD) recent 2022 Governance Outlook Report, which took the important step of specifically identifying the internal audit function and its relevance to ESG corporate disclosures.
"The independent internal audit function is absolutely critical in providing objective assurance, independent of management, that established risk management, internal control activities and governance processes are properly designed and operating effectively. This objective assurance provides confidence to all stakeholders who use ESG disclosure data and that confidence benefits both organizations and capital markets. Internal auditors are already in place and uniquely positioned to provide this assurance from within an organization. We applaud the NACD and its members in their recognition of the independent internal audit function as part of the board's assessment of ESG governance strategies."
ESG initiatives and reporting demand sound governance practices, with the governing body, management, and internal audit working collectively to achieve objectives that facilitate strong governance and risk management for the benefit of all stakeholders. Internal audit is a key player in effective governance, as detailed in The IIA's Three Lines Model.
The IIA is committed to addressing the broader issues associated with ESG on a global level and advocating for the critical role of independent internal assurance.
The challenges and complexity of ESG reporting are abundantly evident, and the risks associated with poorly managed reporting can be high in terms of regulatory compliance and reputational damage. Within an effective governance structure, an independent internal audit is well resourced and positioned to ensure integrity, trust, transparency, compliance, and accountability. The IIA's International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) includes globally recognized Standards and authoritative guidance that drive high quality internal audit work.

(CNN)By producing the acclaimed “Better Call Shawl,” “Breaking Bad” achieved a bit of spinoff immortality that spawned “Friends” (“Joey”), “MASH” (“AfterMASH”) and “The Golden Girls” (“The Golden Palace”). kept away from them.”), others. As the prequels draw to a close, it’s worth considering how the Emmy-winning legacy of the original series made “Cheers” one of the best TV offshoots since “Frasier.”
Introduced in 2008, “Breaking Bad” put AMC on the map as a home for iconic storytelling the first year “Mad Men” did. With the addition of FX’s “The Shield” and “Nip/Tuck,” those basic cable networks demonstrated that premium TV can be defined by quality and ambition, not just its location.
The keys to “Breaking Bad’s” endurance can be found in the various ingredients culled from “Soul’s” addictive formula, but proving as difficult for imitators as Walter White’s fantastically pure meth.
Both series charted the moral lineage of their central characters, combining dark comedy, absurd moments and long, slow scenes infused with tension and high-stakes drama.
Perhaps most importantly, “Breaking Bad” — which featured the evolution of high school chemistry teacher Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston), who faced a terminal diagnosis, became a criminal mastermind — became one of the most unexpected series ever on TV. Producer Vince Gilligan and his team consistently wrote themselves into seemingly intractable corners, before uncovering some admirable and generally inventive ways.
As for Walt’s moral decline, he idly sits by watching his partner Jesse’s (Aaron Paul) sleeping girlfriend suffocate — not murdering, but failing to intervene to protect himself. It foreshadowed additional casualties to come, including a surprising sequence in which White causes the death of drug kingpin Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito).
Commentators at the time drew parallels between Walt and Tony Soprano, both family men and criminals who epitomized the age of the TV antihero.
Unlike “The Sopranos,” viewers watched the former slowly turn to the dark side, inviting questions about what ordinary people might do in similar situations. As a reviewer Reported by Jean Seymour Shortly before the finale, “Walter White’s mediocrity seems to make us interrogate ourselves rather than he interrogates himself.”
In a sense, “Better Call Saul” faced an even more delicate balancing act. Common in the prequels: Building toward the narrative territory occupied by its predecessor without either exhausting that real estate too quickly or undermining the popular material that inspired it.
“Saul” also unfolds as “a tragedy,” as Gilligan described in a recent session with reporters, Kim (Rhea), watching Bob Odenkirk’s character transform from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman. Seahorn), hovering as a mysterious linchpin on the story in order to complete that adaptation.
“Breaking Bad” stuck the landing in terms of series finale, offering a definitive and satisfying finish after a period characterized by mystery endings that left viewers puzzling over the writers’ intentions. The show also bucked the TV trend of becoming a late-blooming hit, building an audience towards the end – garnering a series-high 10.3 million viewers for its finale – as people discovered the show and word-of-mouth spread.
When “Breaking Bad” Completed in 2013 Gilligan savored the taste of the TV interview victory with an appearance with Charlie Rose, who asked if the producer had accepted that he would no longer be doing such a good thing.
“He was lightning in a bottle,” Gilligan said.
Against the odds, Gilligan and “Soul” co-creator Peter Gould struck lightning twice. He has stated that he has no plans for further adventures in this world – spinoff – spinoff – with Gilligan Rolling Stone says It’s “time to do something new,” the lasting lesson of both series may be how hard it is to walk away from a lucrative industry when you’re operating at the top of your game.
“Better Call Soul” will premiere its series finale on August 15 on AMC. | https://printveela.com/how-breaking-bad-created-the-addictive-formula-of-better-call-saul/ | 2022-08-14T16:26:39Z | https://printveela.com/how-breaking-bad-created-the-addictive-formula-of-better-call-saul/ | true | 2 |

CHICAGO (AP) — The president of the NFL Players Association blasted the conditions at Soldier Field on Saturday, and he didn’t exactly get an argument from the Chicago Bears or Kansas City Chiefs after their preseason game.
Union president JC Tretter tweeted the field was not up to NFL standards.
“The NFL said that this field met minimum testing standards,” he wrote. “We clearly need to re-evaluate what is an acceptable surface for players to compete on. We need new testing metrics looking at the performance and safety of every field. The NFL can and should do better.”
Chicago quarterback Justin Fields said things were worse when the Bears practiced there Tuesday rather than at their suburban headquarters. He also said he tries to use the conditions to work in his favor.
“I knew how our grass was,” he said. “So I knew other teams didn’t know how it was, so I kind of used it to my advantage in running and stuff like that, using the long spikes and stuff like that.”
The conditions didn’t seem to bother Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes. The four-time Pro Bowler threw for 60 yards and a touchdown on the Chiefs’ first possession and then called it a day.
“I think they had a concert so there was some stuff here and there, but it wasn’t any crazy, bad (stuff) or anything like that,” he said. “I love playing here at Soldier Field. It’s an awesome stadium. You feel the history of it.”
The conditions at Soldier Field have long been a source of frustration for players and coaches on the Bears as well as other teams. The lakefront location and harsh weather make maintaining the surface difficult for the Chicago Park District, which owns the stadium.
The field was particularly choppy after Elton John performed there last weekend. Major League Soccer recently moved the Chicago Fire’s game against New York City FC scheduled for Aug. 21 to SeatGeek Stadium in suburban Bridgeview, Ill., because of conditions brought on by “a series of planned events at the venue.”
As for how the field was on Saturday?
“A lot better than my high school field looked,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid quipped. “Not much.”

On Amazon, there is a “best sellers” page of books, and the site indicates that this list is based only on sales volume, and is updated every hour.
And in the hours of Sunday evening, it appeared that the novel “The Satanic Verses” by Salman Rushdie occupies the eleventh place in the list of bestsellers, even though it was published 34 years ago.
And this novel reached number one on the bestseller list, Saturday, after the news of Rushdie’s stabbing, which made headlines around the world, according to the American news website (nationalreview).
Tweeters circulated pictures showing that three editions of the novel occupied the first three positions on this list earlier, which was confirmed by the Australian News Corp.
Rushdie’s name is associated with this novel, which sparked great controversy around the world, and the former Iranian regime’s guide, Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa to shed the author’s blood in 1988.
The fatwa came amid an uproar in the Muslim world because of the novel, which many considered a contempt for Islam.

A Scary Mistake In The Latest PLL: Original Sin Episodes Had Fans Worried It Was Canceled
This was honestly scarier than A.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin fans were left with an ominous note after Episode 7 of the HBO Max show and it wasn’t from “A.” The promo for the upcoming final three episodes of Season 1 ended with the words “The Series Finale” penned in blood for an even more horrifying effect. The message had fans worrying it meant the show was being canceled. Now, take a deep breath. Although that Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin message seemed to hint at the show getting canceled after only one season, it’s been confirmed to be a mistake.
You’ll be relieved to hear that the promo was actually “a copy error,” according to TVLine. The message really only meant the batch of episodes dropping on Aug. 18 —Episode 8, 9, and 10 — will complete the show’s first season. As of now, HBO Max has not yet announced a decision on whether the show will be renewed or not, although the cast is holding out hope for more seasons to come.
Here’s the deal with the format of the show that led to the misunderstanding. The Pretty Little Liars sequel series premiered on HBO Max on July 28 with three episodes marking three “chapters” of the story. The next two chapters dropped on Aug. 4, and the latest two chapters were released on Aug. 11. The last three chapters of the season, Episodes 8, 9, and 10, will be released on Aug. 18, marking the finale of Season 1. The somewhat uncommon release schedule and unique verbiage used for each batch of “chapters” likely hinted at the show leaning into the hyper-dramatic and using the term “series finale” instead of “season finale.” The minor copy error had fans in a frenzy about the show’s potential cancellation, but luckily there’s still hope for more Millwood madness.
With that mystery cleared up, there’s still a ton of wild stuff to examine in the Season 1 finale promo. The video teases Imogen, Tabby, Noa, Mouse, and Farin finally confronting their mothers to find out how Angela Waters is connecting to A’s murders, and then coming face to masked face with A themself in a spooky house.
Hopefully, the big finale will reveal A’s identity at long last, but since there’s still the chance for future seasons, the show may decide to keep the murderer a secret for a bit longer. Find out how the horror story wraps up its first season when the final three episodes drop on HBO Max on Thursday, Aug. 18. | https://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/pretty-little-liars-original-sin-mistake-cancellation | 2022-08-14T16:38:23Z | https://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/pretty-little-liars-original-sin-mistake-cancellation | false | 1 |
“Are California programs having intended effect?” CalMatters wondered this week.
No it wasn’t a joke — why do you ask?
But seriously though, we hear so often how Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democratic-led Legislature spend billions of dollars of our money on new programs, but look around — the results are underwhelming.
Calmatters looked at a government-run program to administer hearing aids to 2,300 kids in need. That’s certainly a worthy goal and a manageable number. It should be a snap!
But a snap it was not.
Apparently after one year the state had handed out just 39 devices. That’s not even one per week. For one person to serve all 2,300 children in one year, they would only need to process 44 per week or just eight per day.
You get the point. A private business delivering those kinds of results would probably not stay in business very long.
But this is no business we’re talking about — this is the government and it will never die.
Like food rotting in Venezuelan government warehouses, the hearing aids are bogged down in bureaucracy and waiting on the central planners to come up with a plan that works.
According to CalMatters, department spokespeople refused to explain what went wrong, but parents and advocates complained of a labyrinthine application process, complications with insurance and low and slow reimbursements for healthcare providers.
And people still think government-run healthcare is a good idea.
Remember how the state’s Employment Development Department was having such a hard time processing unemployment claims during the pandemic? The number of unemployment claims exploded as businesses were ordered closed. EDD had a backlog of a million claims for what seemed like an eternity. People seeking help rarely got a real person on the phone and when they did, calls ended prematurely or the person answering was unable to answer questions.
That was bad enough, but a recent report exposed new levels of incompetence. It turns out that the inability to process claims in a timely manner was a feature and not a bug of the system as the departmental priority was minimizing costs and fraud — customer service was secondary.
Of course, spending money efficiently and fighting fraud are vital, but for all the bureaucratic focus on fraud, the state didn’t do a very good job – the state paid out an estimated $20 billion in fraudulent claims. And while the state was paying out billions in fraudulent claims, it wrongly denied valid claims for more than one million people.
On top of that, EDD lied (or committed something short of a lie) by reporting 705,000 disqualified or denied claims to the Legislature when the number was actually around 3.4 million.
“People should get fired for this,” Fresno Republican Assemblyman Jim Patterson told CalMatters.
He’s right, but no one will actually get fired.
If the state can’t handle dishing out 2,300 hearing aids to kids in need or process unemployment claims in a timely manner (especially when the state is what ordered the businesses closed), it’s no surprise it’s falling on the bigger issues.
Public education, crime, cost of living, housing, homelessness, energy and wildfires, for example, are all floundering issue areas despite record state spending (of our money).
We hear lots of grandiose talk about nonsense like “reimagining.” And then we get expensive new programs with worse results.
In May of 2021, Newsom announced a $100-billion plan that “will end family homelessness within five years.” The good news is that he has less than four years to go; the bad news is that homelessness seems as bad as ever.
Will this plan fare any better than his proclamation as San Francisco mayor in 2004 that his then-plan would solve homelessness in the city in 10 years? Or what about the plan he campaigned on in 2018 to build 3.5 million new housing units by 2025 (also known as two years from now)?
Progressives, socialists, communists, statists, whatever you want to call them, suffer from the faulty belief that if you just put some smart people in charge, they can solve society’s problems.
Unfortunately, there’s no evidence to support this belief.
Let’s keep going. High-speed rail is billions of dollars over budget, years behind schedule, and doesn’t appear that it will ever be complete. Fi$cal was supposed to be a game-changing technological advancement that would modernize the state’s accounting systems. But, like high-speed rail, it’s years behind schedule and grossly over budget and its inefficiency threatens the state’s credit rating and ability to borrow money. Whenever the state announces some new massive undertaking, I don’t see how anyone can be anything but skeptical. The state will solve climate change. Or transform the economy. Or end homelessness. Or fix the housing crisis.
None of these things are likely to happen. What is more likely is that taxes will go up, the state will spend more money, the government will grow and become more unwieldy and politicians will continue to make promises upon which they can’t deliver.
Instead of all that, I urge the state to try a new approach. If you want to try to solve everything, start by solving at least one thing.
Before even considering taking over healthcare for 39 million Californians, first try distributing hearing aids for 2,300 kids in a timely and competent fashion.

West Ham fans throw fake £50 notes at Jesse Lingard after former Hammers loanee opted to join Nottingham Forest on deal worth nearly £200,000-per-week over David Moyes' side
- Jesse Lingard chose to join the newly-promoted Nottingham Forest this summer
- Nottingham Forest beat Lingard's former club 1-0 at the City Ground on Sunday
- West Ham fans went through with the plan to throw fake money at the player
Fake £50 notes aimed at Jesse Lingard adorned the City Ground pitch as West Ham fell to a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon.
Lingard left Manchester United this summer after more than a decade at the club and joined Forest on a lucrative one-year deal - worth nearly £200,000 a week - with West Ham also having vied for his signature.
The former United player enjoyed an enormously successful loan spell at West Ham for the second half of the 2020-21 season, almost playing himself into England's squad for that summer's European Championship.
Jesse Lingard lined up against West Ham and was taunted by their fans with fake £50 notes
Fake £50 notes adorned the pitch as West Ham fans attempted to shower Lingard in them
It comes as a result of Lingard joining Forest on a one-year deal worth nearly £200,000 a week
West Ham supporters were extremely hurt by Lingard's decision not to rejoin them this summer on a permanent basis and as such planned something of a demonstration against him at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon.
Expressing their fury at Lingard for joining Forest, West Ham fans threw fake £50 notes at the player. The demonstration was organised by a fan page called Whucentre.
Back in July, they shared a screenshot from Amazon, detailing exactly how much the 'prop money' costs and wrote the accompanying caption: 'Anyone else going to Forest away… you know what to do'.
Lingard enjoyed a stunning six month stay at West Ham during the 2020-21 season
Whucentre shared a screenshot detailing exactly how much the 'prop money' costs and wrote the accompanying caption: 'Anyone else going to Forest away… you know what to do'
Lingard is one of 14 players signed by Forest this summer with the club spending over £100m to back manager Steve Cooper in their first season in the Premier League since 1998-99.
The club were able to blow multiple others including West Ham out of the water with their lucrative offer to the 29-year-old.
The former United player has received criticism from pundits as well as West Ham fans for his decision to join the Midlands club.
Pundits Jamie Carragher (left) and Gary Neville (right) have questioned Lingard's decision
Jamie Carragher said on the latest Overlap Fan Debate: 'He went there for the money. I love Nottingham Forest, that they are back [in the Premier League], but if any footballer is picking Nottingham Forest right now, before West Ham and what they've done in the last two or three years, they've obviously gone there for a few quid.'
Gary Neville added: 'Jesse could have been clever. Reputationally, he's taken a hit. He could have signed a two-year deal where he leaves at the end of the season, if they go down, for free.'
Lingard, however, has responded to the criticism levelled at his decision claiming that he turned down 'life-changing' offers from abroad to move to Forest.
'I could've gone abroad for a lot more money, life changing money,' he told Soccer AM. 'For me it's nonsense, I don't like to read into a lot of stuff too much, it was my decision.
'The owners were very strong in their approach and went overboard and when I saw that kind of appreciation it's hard to say no. I WhatsApp them and it's like a family.
'They've showed me so much love getting here in the first place and that was one of the most importance factors.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11110629/West-Ham-fans-throw-fake-50-notes-Jesse-Lingard.html | 2022-08-14T16:48:09Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11110629/West-Ham-fans-throw-fake-50-notes-Jesse-Lingard.html | false | 3 |
Dagenham: Three murder arrests over death of 60-year-old man
- Published
Three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of a 60-year-old man.
The Metropolitan Police said officers were called at about 00:05 BST to reports of a fight at the junction of Ford Road and Broad Street in Dagenham, east London.
The ambulance service also attended but the man died at the scene.
Two men, aged 26 and 36, were arrested at the scene while a 23-year-old man was arrested later.
All three remain in police custody.
Det Ch Insp Kate Blackburn said: "At this stage we believe an altercation happened between a group of men and the victim, who was with a friend.
"This then became physical, leading to the victim sadly suffering fatal injuries.
"We have three men in custody, but would still like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or the lead-up to it as soon as possible."

Hopkins caught one of two passes for nine yards in Saturday's 29-22 win over the Chargers.
Fellow backup tight end Kendall Blanton was on the field as well, but only Hopkins was targeted by Bryce Perkins, and he was able to snag one of the two for a nine-yard gain during the Rams' first touchdown drive of the game. With Tyler Higbee being eased back in to action after recovering from an MCL injury suffered in the NFC Championship Game last season, expect to see plenty of both Hopkins and Blanton during Friday's second preseason game against the Texans. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/rams-brycen-hopkins-logs-one-catch/ | 2022-08-14T16:50:21Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/rams-brycen-hopkins-logs-one-catch/ | false | null |

Southampton midfielder Joe Aribo has been backed to have a great season in the Premier League after his debut goal against Leeds United in a 2-2 draw on Sunday.
The 26-year-old Nigeria international, who moved to the Saints from Rangers, came off the bench to find the back of the net at St Mary’s Stadium.
The Saints found themselves trailing after Rodrigo put the visiting side ahead and they were then 2-0 down when he doubled their lead.
However, Southampton coach Ralph Hasenhuttl was forced to turn to the bench for help and in the 61st minute, he summoned the Super Eagle for Stuart Armstrong while defender Jan Bednarek was benched for French forward Sekou Mara.
Aribo took only 10 minutes to announce his name to the Saints faithful after he met a cross from Armstrong, rounded up keeper Illan Meslier before smashing the ball into the net. The comeback was then completed when Kyle Walker-Peters scored the second.
The performance of the Super Eagle has elicited great reaction on social media with several fans stating he will help the Saints to keep their status in the top-flight and score more goals.

Another huge positive… Joe Aribo. Mental that no-one else snapped him up for £6m before we did, and equally mental that he was benched yesterday after looking like our only bright spark last weekend. We’ve come to expect that style of management, but he absolutely has to play. https://t.co/9n0JeZ24FV

Taiwo Awoniyi was Nottingham Forest’s hero in Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League triumph over West Ham United.
Making his first start for the Reds, the former Nigeria international scored the fixture’s only goal against David Moyes’ men at the City Ground.
Not only did he score Forest’s first English top-flight goal in 23 years and 90 days (Chris Bart-Williams vs Leicester City in May 1999) – the longest gap between a team scoring consecutive goals in the competition’s history, but he also becomes the 37th Nigerian to score in the competition.
Overall, he put up an awe-inspiring performance as Steve Cooper’s men picked their first win of the 2022-23 campaign.
Taiwo Awoniyi’s stats vs West Ham United
— Shina Oludare 🇳🇬 (@sportingshina) August 14, 2022
Minutes played – 72
Shots – 2
Shots on target – 1
Key Passes – 0
Crosses -1
Touches 30
Passes - 16
Passing Accuracy – 75
Offsides – 2
Dispossessed – 2
Fouled – 3
Clearances – 1
For Awoniyi’s contributions in 72 minutes of action, he accrued two shots with his only shot on target finding the net against the Londoners.
Although the 25-year-old made no key passes, he contributed a cross, 30 touches, 16 passes and a passing accuracy of 75%.
Also, the only value he added to Forest defensively saw him make one clearance with statistics showing he scored zero judging by top tackles, interceptions, and blocked shots.
Awoniyi was caught offside twice, dispossessed twice and fouled on three occasions. With 12 minutes left on the clock, he was subbed off for Sam Surridge.
Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski reflected on a frustrating afternoon for West Ham United, especially with the goal he conceded.
“We’re very frustrated,” he told the West Ham website.
“We knew before the game that it would be tough and there would be a lot of energy in the crowd, because obviously, it was the first home game for them in the Premier League for a while.
“So we were expecting a big battle and that’s how it was from the first minute. I would say they were better than us in the first half, but once the second half started we had the much better chances.
“We hit the bar twice, we had a penalty saved by their keeper, so we’re very disappointed that we didn’t take anything from the game.”
Following Forest’s result, they climbed to ninth on the log having accrued just three points from two outings so far. | https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/awoniyi-two-shots-one-goal-how-nigeria-star-propelled-nottingham-/blt47f90af7ccf08980 | 2022-08-14T17:12:15Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/awoniyi-two-shots-one-goal-how-nigeria-star-propelled-nottingham-/blt47f90af7ccf08980 | true | 7 |
INGLEWOOD — The Chargers’ 29-22 loss Saturday to the Rams featured the usual chaos of an exhibition opener. Only a handful of starters played in the first of three preseason games this month. There were crisp plays, soggy ones and many more that fit somewhere in between.
In the final analysis, it was difficult at times to get a handle on the Chargers as a whole, with so many players coming and going, and with quite a few who will be going away for good before the Sept. 11 regular-season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders at SoFi Stadium.
Here’s some of what we learned, what we heard and what comes next for the Chargers:
Quarterback competition
The battle to become the Chargers’ backup quarterback behind Justin Herbert heated up with 14-year veteran Chase Daniel directing the team to two first-half touchdowns before yielding to fourth-year pro Easton Stick, who led one scoring drive in the second.
Daniel completed 11 of 17 passes for 117 yards and touchdowns of 41 yards to Joe Reed and 16 yards to Michael Bandy in the first half. Stick completed 16 of 23 passes for 119 yards, running for a three-yard touchdown that tied the score 22-22 with 13:02 left in the game.
Stick led the Chargers down the field in the final minutes, but Bandy bobbled a third-down pass and the Rams’ Daniel Isom snatched it from his hands at the eight with 27 seconds remaining. Stick said he was satisfied that his pass to Bandy was on target, although it appeared to be slightly off the mark.
“I just kind of felt like it was where it needed to be,” Stick said. “It was a good call by Joe (Lombardi, the Chargers’ offensive coordinator). We actually ran that play a few times earlier (in the game). Chase had it and made a good play on it. I took a sack on it earlier. This one worked out perfectly.
“Shoot, I would throw it 100 times out of 100 times, especially to Bandy, who has had an unbelievable camp and who I trust a ton. I really love playing with that guy.”
Chargers coach Brandon Staley said he would split the quarterbacking duties again for next Saturday’s exhibition against the Dallas Cowboys at SoFi Stadium. This time, Stick is scheduled to play the first half and Daniel will play the second. Herbert is not expected to play.
Running to daylight
Facing a third-and-seven at his own 31-yard line, Daniel dropped to pass late in the second quarter. When he couldn’t find anyone open, he moved patiently to his left and then, suddenly, took off at top speed. Or as fast as his legs would carry him, anyway.
“I knew on that third-and-seven it was man coverage,” Daniel explained. “I went through my first and second reads, and it wasn’t there. It’s just such a feel thing (taking off and running). You don’t even want to do it all the time. When I looked out there, I was like, ‘Where is everyone?’”
Daniel gained 22 yards on the play, keeping alive a drive that ended with his touchdown pass to Bandy with 37 seconds left in the half, tying the score 14-14.
Right tackle battle
Trey Pipkins III and Storm Norton went into training camp battling for the starting right tackle position, one of the highest-profile skirmishes before opening day. Pipkins started against the Rams, but Norton also played. Staley was pleased by their play.
“That thing is still in motion,” Staley said of the competition between the two. “But I thought that both guys competed. I felt like we moved the ball with both quarterbacks. I thought that both guys did a nice job.”
Going for two
Staley said if the Chargers had tied the score on their final drive, he would have gone for a two-point conversion rather than kicking the extra point and tying the score 29-29. He and Rams coach Sean McVay each went for two after their third touchdowns.
“We would have gone for two at the end, yes we would have,” Staley said, smiling.
Final thoughts
Circle Jan. 1 on your calendar. Or do whatever needs to be done to set a reminder on your phone. That’s when the Chargers and Rams play for real and, after Saturday’s preview, it could be something special when they go after each other at full strength and with something greater at stake.

Hi Verity and Nic,
Can men have close relationships with women without it going wrong?
My husband thinks it's okay to have a close working relationship with a colleague who is slightly older than him because they are similar in age. I'm in my mid-50s and slightly younger than my husband.
He said he feels he can't talk or be friends with other women because of me. In all honesty, I don't mind him talking to other women but I don't believe any form of intimacy, emotional or touch, is appropriate with the opposite sex, as it's heading to the line that gets blurred and crossed.
I'm happy to be chummy and friends with other men but I don't wish to have any physical touch, other than the customary brief hug hello/goodbye because I feel it sends out a wrong signal and I don't want to go there.
I feel I've been a dedicated wife and mother and need to feel I'm my husband's number one - which I often haven't. He has improved his attention recently, admittedly. What differentiates friendship from a relationship? What words or actions should partners be worried about? Am I being unreasonable? - Susan
Dear Susan,
You're not being unreasonable; your concerns make perfect sense. However, you may be looking at this through the wrong lens. It sounds like you are in danger of turning an opportunity for exploration and intimacy into a question of who is "right" - and that's nearly always a lose/lose situation in a relationship. Attachment expert Dr Stan Tatkin once said, "You can be right, or you can be in a relationship. Pick one."
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.What you are describing is a very typical boundary issue. At its most basic, "boundary" is jargon for "what's okay for me and what's not okay for me". You and your spouse disagree about where to set the boundary around contact with the opposite sex. And this kind of disagreement is entirely ordinary and necessary. The issue is not a matter of certain behaviours being an objective cause for worry, it's about what you two mutually decide is acceptable in your relationship.
In a relationship, everyone needs a clear sense of their own boundaries, and everyone is totally within their rights to insist on those boundaries unilaterally... up to a point. You can be clear about what's okay or not for you, but you don't get to tell your partner what's okay for them. This especially applies to the boundaries around the relationship - who and what we will and won't allow in.
One of the most significant differences couples must face is our assumptions about what is "normal" or "expected" in a relationship. Typically, we assume that our expectations are "normal" and that any deviation from or challenge to these expectations is "wrong". Until life shows us differently, we are often oblivious to how personal, arbitrary, and culturally specific our "normal" is.
Once we understand that, then we can accept that we need to explore and negotiate the mutual boundaries that apply to both of us in our relationship. They are a vital part of our contract, of the structure of the relationship that makes it defined and clear and therefore reliable and trustworthy.
As we said above, it is usual to find out that your partner has a different expectation about how to behave in a relationship when they do something that you think is "wrong", as your husband is doing here. That's a cue that you need to go into exploration mode because A) these kinds of misunderstandings are an inevitable and necessary part of building a long-term relationship, and B) no one person gets to dictate where the boundaries are in a relationship. That is, he can't just say it's okay and expect you to fall into line with his judgement, and neither can you.
Exploring why certain things are okay and not okay for each of you is an opportunity to understand each other more profoundly and intimately. You have already pointed to some underlying issues you would profit from exploring with your husband. When you talk about not feeling like his number one, that's important and worth going deeper into with him. There certainly can be behaviours that put your relationship at risk, and if your partner has indulged in those in the past, you might have reason to be concerned about blurred lines. Those are situations that are worth talking about.
Exploring means talking about what a situation means to both of you, what you each see as the benefits of doing things your way and listening to what the costs and impacts are for your partner. It often means trying to find a way to help your partner get what is important to them, in terms of boundaries, without compromising your beliefs and values.
To answer your initial question - yes, some men and women can be close friends without it going wrong. So rather than trying to convince your partner it's not possible, it's probably wiser to focus on how you want your relationship to be. For example: "Where I feel cherished and the most important person in your life". Then you can share your concerns about how his present behaviour puts that at risk: "I'm worried that you will share your intimate thoughts with your friend and not with me".

Advertise with NZME.It is common for people to find it easier to talk openly to someone unimportant to them (therapy depends on this tendency). If your experience is that your husband talks freely to others but seems a bit of a closed book to you, then discuss that with him. But you must be willing to tolerate hearing what he says. In this instance, ask him how he believes you are inhibiting his friendships with women and show interest and care in his subjective experience. Don't get defensive or justifying of your behaviour.
There may be other issues for your spouse, for example broader concerns regarding freedom and accountability that frequently arise in relationships. Seize the opportunity to learn about what it's like to be him; enquire and be interested. That's the basis of empathy and intimacy.
You also point to how, as a woman, you have learned to be particularly careful with your boundaries. Many men don't understand how constant the sense of pressure and threat is for women, how frequently other men sexualise the most innocent contact. Again, if this is part of the background for you, it would be a good thing for your husband to understand about what it's like being you.
Suppose you have a history of past partners being unfaithful, or other ways important people have been unreliable. In that case, that's relevant to how you assess the risks involved in your husband's friendships. It's crucial that you acknowledge those influences and do your partner the courtesy of admitting that those experiences impact your judgement in assessing how risky his behaviour is. It would also be wise to recognise that, in raising the issue of boundaries with other women, you are effectively questioning his self-awareness and trustworthiness, and that's probably not very nice for him (even though it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do).
As is so often the case when we run into a difference with our partner, the challenge is to stay connected with them, to keep focused on what's good in the relationship and to talk about what you do want. To avoid the trap of being critical and negative and focused solely on what you don't want. It's good that you desire more from your relationship and want to keep it safe.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Coach introduces its Spring 2022 campaign starring Coach Family including Jennifer Lopez, Megan Thee Stallion, Noah Beck, Wisdom Kaye and Kōki. Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers worked in collaboration with director and photographer Tyler Mitchell on the campaign, which reimagines Coach's iconic Horse and Carriage code and first-ever house logo in a pop palette for a new generation.
Exploring the legacy of the house through a pop culture lens, "That's My Ride" playfully evokes nostalgic ride scenes in movies and music that are now part of our collective imagination. Featuring the Coach Family getting around town via their unique modes of transport, it sees Lopez biking with a posse of BMX bikers, Megan Thee Stallion battling it out on bumper cars at a seaside amusement park, and Wisdom Kaye and his TikTok super crew, including Noah Beck, joyriding around Brooklyn—and celebrates the individual style and originality the cast bring to their daily rides.
The campaign introduces the house's Spring 2022 collection and Stuart Vevers' vision for the season of American classics subverted through the lens of now. In addition to the Horse and Carriage collection, it spotlights the house's Field Tote and Hitch Backpack and will also introduce a reimagination of Coach's Signature, launching in February with the next chapter of the campaign.
"Joyful and optimistic, Spring 2022 celebrates our house codes through the point-of-view of a new generation," said Vevers. "It expresses what I've always loved about Coach, which is the way our heritage can be a platform for individual expression and bold ideas that shape the future."
Captured in cities around the world, the campaign was also created in collaboration with new ambassadors for the house Dean Fujioka and Shawn Dou, TikTok star Parker Kit Hill and comedian Elsa Majimbo.
"That's My Ride" is also brought to life with Horse and Carriage takeovers of New York City buses and bike stations and collaborations where artists reimagine the code in their own way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@capablecart.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one capablecart.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

Nnamdi Kanu’s special counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, has asked the Nigerian government to revoke IPOB’s proscription. Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is an organization dedicated to restoring Biafran independence.
Given the favorable ruling by the Abia High Court, he also urged President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to free Kanu.
As of September 2017, the government has been actively cracking down on the separatist group. It is believed that some of Kanu’s security guards were killed when they broke into his home in Afaraukwu and he managed to escape.
However, Justice Benson Anya of the Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia state, ruled that the federal government should release Kanu and compensate him.
Kanu has been in custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since June 2021, and has been facing charges at Federal High Court, Abuja before Justice Binta Nyako.
On Sunday morning, Ejimakor wrote on his Twitter page on both Kanu and his separatist group.
He said: “When you declared a group that represents millions a terrorist group and every nation in the world disagreed with you, reverse it. When you renditioned and detained a man just because he’s gutsy and Abia High Court and United Nations disagreed with you, release him. Yes FreeMNK now.”
Speaking to Ejimakor on his call on the government, he insisted that, “It is manifest injustice for the Abuja court to have ignored the Umuahia judgment and still hold that Kanu jumped bail.
“It means that the Nigerian government which forced Kanu out of Nigeria is judicially allowed to benefit from its own wrong of compelling him to flee from Nigeria. This cannot happen elsewhere except in Nigeria.” | https://www.xtra.net/news/nigeria/nnamdi-kanus-lawyer-demands-reversal-ipob-terrorist-group | 2022-08-14T17:57:57Z | https://www.xtra.net/news/nigeria/nnamdi-kanus-lawyer-demands-reversal-ipob-terrorist-group | true | 1 |

Forest 1-0 West Ham: What Cooper said
- Published
Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper to BBC Match of the Day 2: "I thought we deserved to win for the way we played in the first half – I thought we were excellent, by far the better team and really took the game to West Ham.
"We got a good goal, maybe not in the last bit in terms of how it’s gone in but in terms of the build-up and how we got into the position that we wanted to be in.
"So we were good for going 1-0 up and the second half was always going to be about what it was. We did have some chances from set-plays and we did get into some decent areas but the game was going to be more about keeping a clean sheet.
"It was so hot, it was such an influence on the game. The guys who had played 97 minutes in that, it was a real effort. So we showed a lot of heart and soul.
"There were loads of good positives and it was the first game back here, we reintroduced the club on the Premier League stage, which is the world stage and that’s really important.

AAP slams Delhi civic body over staff regularisation delays
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party for regularising only a handful of sanitation workers of the total more than 27000 municipal sanitation workers.
AAP MLA and party MCD in-charge Durgesh Pathak said It is shameful that the BJP has put up hoardings all over Delhi to advertise regularisation of just 187 employees. “BJP has always cheated the Safai Karamcharis by making false promises of regularisation in its successive election manifestos and the workers had to face disappointment after each election,” he added.
The comments by the AAP came a day after Delhi lieutenant governor VK Saxena handed over regularisation letters to 187 MCD sanitation workers. On Saturday, the LG said that MCD has prepared a policy for regularising sanitation workers in 1978. In the policy it was decided that MCD will regularise the sanitation workers in a phased manner.
Pathak added that the BJP’s 15-year rule in the MCDs has been marred by misgovernance. “Among all those wronged by the BJP in the MCD, the Safai Karamcharis of Delhi have suffered the most. The workers are the backbone of the sanitation system in Delhi. They face salary delays. There are 27,098 Safai Karamcharis waiting for regularisation. This is not just unfair to these people but akin to making a mockery of their hard work,” he alleged.
The BJP, however, said the AAP was spreading lies. Delhi BJP Spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said that Aam Aadmi Party spokespersons are spreading lies, and hit back saying that in its 8-year rule in the Delhi government, the AAP has not regularised a single sanitation workers. “Durgesh Pathak tried to mislead civic sanitary workers that the MCD is deliberately not regularising their services. He said more then 27,000 municipal sanitary workers are awaiting regularisation of their service while the truth is despite a financial crunch, the corporation has regularised services of 1000 workers consistently since 1995,” he said.
He added that, “Let alone regularising their service, the Delhi government does not even directly hire them on temporary jobs. The Delhi government hires sanitary workers only on contract jobs through private contractors as a result the workers under the Delhi government get a salary of Rs. 11000 per month while temporary sanitary workers under MCD get Rs. 15000 to Rs. 24000 minimum wages depending on their service period,” he added. “Aam Aadmi Party should tell how many temporary daily wager safai karamcharis have been regularised or how many regular safai karamcharis have been hired by its Delhi government in last 8 years?”

Even though Erling Haaland was noticeably quiet in Manchester City’s win over Bournemouth, manager Pep Guardiola is still confident in the Norwegian’s ability to adjust to life in the Premier League.
Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, and an own goal by Jefferson Lerma led the Citizens to a 5-0 victory over the Cherries on Saturday afternoon at Etihad Stadium.
While Haaland did bag an assist for Gundogan’s opener he was rather disappointing otherwise in this Premier League home debut. The young forward touched the ball just eight times throughout the game, completing just two passes.
Speaking after the game, Guardiola explained Haaland’s showing, stating that Bournemouth’s tactics kept him at bay on the day:
“The most difficult job in the world is when you are a striker against a [defence] with three central midfielders, three centre-backs and you are in the middle.
“We will find many of these situations but it’s a question of time. With the quality of player we have behind him [Haaland], we will find him.”
Guardiola also discussed the game in general, praising his team’s performance: “As a team we did a really good performance, a team that was well-structured defensively but also offensively.
“They have a good pattern for the build-up to attract you and after they link perfectly with the strikers, quite similar movement like Tottenham and defensively they defend so deep and narrow. We start really well, we did three or four corners in six or seven minutes, we had chances and after we score one and two and second half when they don’t want to press we just have to be patient. We make a really good performance.” | https://www.xtra.net/sport/football/pep-guardiola-backs-erling-haaland-quiet-debut | 2022-08-14T18:12:02Z | https://www.xtra.net/sport/football/pep-guardiola-backs-erling-haaland-quiet-debut | true | 1 |

Garret Dillahunt Previews the Deal His Character Makes in ‘Sprung’
No one gets out of jail free in Greg Garcia’s (My Name Is Earl, Raising Hope) quirky, heartfelt comedy Sprung, about underdog inmates granted early release from a state co-ed prison at the pandemic’s onset. Bonus: It reunites Hope leads Garret Dillahunt and Martha Plimpton.
Dillahunt plays smart, earnest Jack, jailed 26 years on a trumped-up drug charge and now bunking with dim-but-loyal Rooster (Phillip Garcia) at the not-so-big house of the guy’s daft criminal mom Barb (Plimpton). Another roomie: Jack’s would-be lockup girlfriend Gloria (Shakira Barrera). Barb demands they join her crime family, but Jack balks.
Criminals Use Their Skills for Good in 'Sprung' Trailer
“He makes a deal that he’ll help if they rob people doing bad things during the pandemic,” says Dillahunt. Their main target: an insider stock trader and congresswoman (Kate Walsh). Says Greg Garcia, “They’ve all been kicked aside by society. They slowly become a family — and they’re going after ‘the man.’”

Bengals Released Rookie Wide Receiver Sunday Morning
The Cincinnati Bengals released three players on Sunday morning, one of which was a wide receiver.
They officially announced that they have waived receiver Pooka Williams Jr. following their first preseason game on Friday.
Williams Jr. officially entered the 2021 NFL Draft and was projected to be a seventh-round pick before he went undrafted. He was then signed by the Bengals in May of last year and was moved to receiver.
He played running back at Kansas from 2018-20 and finished with 415 carries for 2,382 yards and 12 touchdowns. He had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons before only playing four games as a junior.
Williams Jr. also racked up 66 receptions for 534 yards and four touchdowns in the receiving game.
He could be in play for a practice squad spot for another team once other roster cuts are finalized. | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/bengals-released-rookie-wide-receiver-sunday-morning | 2022-08-14T18:18:24Z | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/bengals-released-rookie-wide-receiver-sunday-morning | false | 1 |

'Where do you rate these three? You can't even rate them in Pakistan': Aaqib Javed's brutal takedown of batting trio
Pakistan had recently announced their squad for the Asia Cup 2022, that saw the notable omission of Shoaib Malik. Instead, Pakistan chose to bring players like Asif Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Khushdil Shah in the middle-order, and captain Babar Azam backed the trio in a recent press conference before the side's departure for Netherlands, where Pakistan plays three ODIs before the continental tournament in the UAE.
“When senior players leave the side, those replacing them need focus. (Mohammad) Hafeez and Malik were huge players and we'll miss them a lot, and players like Asif Ali, Khushdil Shah and Iftikhar (Ahmed) need to fill their boots,” Babar had said.
However, former Pakistan cricketer Aaqib Javed isn't too optimistic about the presence of the trio, insisting that they don't inspire the similar levels of confidence in the middle-order as their predecessors, like former captains Younis Khan, Inzamam-ul-Haq, and Mohammad Yousuf among others.
“We don't have players like Younis Khan, Inzamam, Mohammad Yousuf, Shoaib Malik or Mohammad Hafeez. They were consistent throught 10-12 years. They were among top-10 around the world with consistency. When you talk about the middle-order now, we have Asif Ali, Khushdil, Iftikhar.. where will you rate these three? You can't even rate them in Pakistan,” Aaqib said in an interaction with paktv.tv.
“Why do we call Babar Azam the best in the world? Because he is no.1 in the ICC rankings. Whenever he bats, we feel safe. If you take a look at the whole team, we have Imam-ul-Haq, who has proved that he has talent and temperament. Babar is there. Rizwan is there in T20s. In all three formats, we only have Babar who has proved himself. I can't remember any other name. If you look at India or any other top team, you will see 5-6-7 players who are consistently in top-10 or top-20 in all three formats. This is the reason for the gap,” he said further.
Aaqib also says there are no back-ups for the trio, that could land Pakistan in trouble.
“The moment these guys lose confidence, we don't have any other batter for gap. Because we only have these three. We don't have any other choice. We didn't develop any other batter and I don't think they even pay attention to it,” he said. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/where-do-you-rate-these-three-you-can-t-even-rate-them-in-pakistan-ex-pak-star-aaqib-javed-s-brutal-takedown-of-batting-trio-101660464063598-amp.html | 2022-08-14T18:21:27Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/where-do-you-rate-these-three-you-can-t-even-rate-them-in-pakistan-ex-pak-star-aaqib-javed-s-brutal-takedown-of-batting-trio-101660464063598-amp.html | true | 2 |
It is unsurprising to me that the people of China no longer regard the United States as a role model (Why China's people no longer look up to America, Aug 12).
The two countries' national narratives are vivid accounts of their country's past, present and future that can be a source as well as a reflection of state power.
The Communist Party of China has outlined a clear story of Chinese ascendancy, which has largely been realised, economically and militarily.
Conversely, the traditional narrative of American exceptionalism stands at odds with the present reality of dysfunction.
Americans have voiced frustration at their country's diminishing performance on socio-economic indices and tarnished international standing.
Preoccupied with outdated notions of incumbency and spinning the yarn of Chinese threat, US leaders have unfortunately neglected to craft a new story for their own nation, one more befitting America's present challenges and future priorities.
It is not too late for the US to look in the mirror.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, says it is the desire of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State to rebrand and unite the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Onyeama disclosed this on Sunday in Enugu during an interactive meeting with members and stakeholders of his pet project, Kwusike Political Family.
The minister said it was sad that members of the party in the state had not learnt from the mistakes of the past that made them loose previous elections.
Onyeama said he had, after the last state elective congress of the party, felt that the party had a team and envisaged a united and progressive APC ready to make the difference.
“We had a number of crises for four years which divided our party in the state and we were disillusioned for not winning elections.
“As an opposition party in the state, you have to be united to overthrow the ruling party,” he said.
The minister, however, said that though they were in a difficult situation, there was hope going forward.
He, however, said it was not too late to seek for new circumstances that would put the party on good footing, adding that leaders were meant to serve their people.
He said the meeting was to do a postmortem of the circumstances that led to the lingering challenges in the party, adding that they would not want to repeat past mistakes.
“I am here to meet with my ‘family’. Kwusike Foundation is not a factional group that divides our party as some people think.
“One of the reasons I wanted us to meet is to do a postmortem about what we did right or wrong in the past in order to prepare ourselves better for future endeavours.
“As a party, coming together to chart a course is not reactionary or maintaining a status quo that is anti-people,” he said.
According to Onyeama, there have been lots of opinions and distractions after the party congress but we should not be distracted.
He said that political power was not meant to intimidate the people but to serve them, adding that members of the party were equal stakeholders.
“We will fight to deliver APC and make it competitive in Enugu State. We should try to seize control of governance through the ballot and make a meaningful difference.
“A lot of you have been working hard for the party and together we shall overcome the challenges. APC must thrive in the state,” Onyeama said.
In their separate speeches, some members of the party, including Messrs Walter Oji, Benson Eze, Gbazuagu Nweke and Mrs Juliet Egbo, decried the “hatred, hardship, intimidation and despair” in the state chapter of the party.

UKK: Telugu Yoddhas beat Chennai Quick Guns to make winning start
Telugu Yoddhas displayed a balanced game on the offensive and defensive ends showcasing their agility and acrobatic skills that helped them earn some big points in the opening minutes of the game.
- Country:
- India
Telugu Yoddhas began their Ultimate Kho Kho campaign in style beating the team from their neighbouring state, Chennai Quick Gun 48-38 to win their opening game. Telugu Yoddhas played the second match on the opening day of the Inaugural season of the Ultimate Kho Kho here at the Shri Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex Pune being coached by former national coach, Sumit Bhatia. Telugu Yoddhas displayed a balanced game on the offensive and defensive ends showcasing their agility and acrobatic skills that helped them earn some big points in the opening minutes of the game. Telugu Yoddhas Captain, Prateek Waikar won the Ultimate Kho of the Match award while Deepak Madhav and Arun Ashok were awarded with the Best Defender of the Match and Best Attacker of the Match respectively.
Chennai after winning the toss decided to defend. Telugu Yoddhas drew first blood with a skydive, one of the four highest-earning touch points which later was followed by a pole dive, another highest-earning touch point. In a game of '4 Turns' (2 from each innings), Yoddhas attackers displayed their brilliance in Turn 1 of the game by earning a total of 25 points, which included 18 points from 4 pole dives and 2 skydives. Avdhut Patil successfully completed his first 'Dream Run' by running past all the attackers which helped him earn 2 crucial points (the only points defenders can earn) for his side. Chennai attackers seemed helpless as they failed to touch Deepak Madhav, whose run of one minute and 58 seconds dodging the attackers, stole the show and helped him earn another crucial 2 points from the second Dream Run of the match. At the end of Turn 2 and Inning 1, Yoddhas were in complete domination with the scoreboard reading 29-15 to their favour.
Turn 3 saw Telugu Yoddhas once again attacking their opponents but through a completely different strategy, depending majorly on the running touches this time to eliminate the Chennai defenders. Unlike Turn 1, Yoddhas didn't go for 3-pointers (Pole Dive and Sky Dive) and most of their points came from Running Touches. A solitary Sky Dive in the final moments of Turn 3 helped the Yoddhas earn 21 points from the turn and widen the gap with the scoreboard reading 48-17 to their favour. The final Turn 4, of the match, brought some hope for Chennai Quick Guns who played in an attacking manner, but the score difference was too high for them to overtake. Even after earning 21 points through an attack in the final turn of the game, Chennai Quick Guns fell short of time and had to face a 10 points defeat 38-48 against Telugu Yoddhas.
After winning the first match of the first-ever Ultimate Kho-Kho League, Sumit Bhatia, Head Coach, Telugu Yoddhas, said, "I am very happy with the results. We played as per plans and it was outstanding to see the team put the plans into action. We put a good mix of seniors and youngsters on the mat and that worked well for us. The players were a little nervous in the start but they caught on with the game and showed what they are made of. I would also like to thank the Kho-Kho federation and Ultimate Kho-Kho for making Kho-Kho so glamorous and I am confident that this is going to make Kho-Kho places." Telugu Yoddhas will now play Rajasthan Warriors on 16th August. All the matches are being broadcast live and exclusive on the Sony Sports Network and Live streamed on the Sony LIV platform from 7 PM onwards. (ANI)

In late April, Deputy City Clerk Paul Antolin, a Henry Ford College alumnus, was officially named City Clerk for the City of Grosse Pointe Woods.
Since late December 2021, he has served as Interim City Clerk while he also fulfilled the duties of his previous position.
Because Antolin was a familiar face in GPW and because he had carried out the duties of the city clerk while still serving as the deputy clerk, GPW Mayor Arthur W. Bryant and the GPW City Council decided not to form a committee and launch a search for a permanent City Clerk.
They appointed Antolin to the position based on his qualifications and previous service. He replaced Lisa Hathaway, who retired.
“It made sense to me to do it this way. Of course, I’m biased,” said Antolin, of Romulus. “The transition has been pretty smooth, especially with the staff being very supportive. The mayor and City Council support what I’m doing.”

The youngest of three sons, Antolin’s parents immigrated from the Philippines. His mother was pregnant when his family came to the United States, settling in Macomb County, Michigan. Antolin was born in Warren and is a first-generation Filipino-American.
An alumnus of Woodhaven High School, Antolin began his college career at Michigan State University before transferring to HFC (then Henry Ford Community College). At HFC, he earned his associate’s degree in liberal arts.
Transferring to Wayne State University, he earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration. Recently, he earned the Michigan Professional Municipal Clerk (MiPMC) designation through the Michigan Association of Municipal Clerks.
“HFC really prepared me for Wayne State,” he said. “It acclimated me to college life. I really hunkered down and focused on my education.”
Taekwondo black belt
Antolin has a 5th-degree black belt in Taekwondo. The teachings of this style of martial arts helped him as a youth. Taekwondo taught him many important attributes, such as respect, honesty, self-confidence, and patience that enhanced his career and his life outside of City Hall.
He began a Taekwondo program through the City of Romulus Parks and Recreation Department in 2001 and eventually brought the program to the Romulus Athletic Center in 2010. The program has since been postponed due to COVID, but will continue next year.
“As a kid, the Bruce Lee movies got me into it. When I attended my first Taekwondo lesson, the structure, the discipline, the focus, and the physicality really appealed to me. So did achieving the next rank.
Taekwondo puts your physical and mental attributes together. It gives you a solid foundation, making you well-rounded and grounded,” he said.
Practicing Taekwondo has helped Antolin in his positions in local government.
“Patience plays a lot into it, which has helped me with my work. When I deal with disgruntled residents, it’s best to patiently listen to what they have to say instead of escalating things.”
A career in local government
Antolin worked as a records clerk at the City of Romulus for 17 years. He spoke about how he entered local government.
“It fell into my lap. After graduating from Wayne State, I was looking to get my foot in the door. I had a friend whom I met playing an online game. We learned both of us were from Romulus. He notified me about an opening at the city. I applied and got the job,” he recalled.
Antolin joked that he was an all-purpose clerk at the City of Romulus. He also worked at Romulus’ Department of Public Works, the Building Department, and Geographic Information Systems. Eventually, he returned to the City Clerk’s Office.
“I wore various hats. This came with being an all-purpose clerk,” he said, laughing.
He left Romulus for GPW in 2018, becoming the latter’s Deputy City Clerk.
“After 17 years, the dynamics of the clerk’s office in Romulus was going in a different direction than I was,” said Antolin. “I also wanted to utilize my degree more than what I was doing in Romulus. The deputy city clerk position gave me that opportunity, so I took it. I jumped in feet first. One thing led to another, and here I am.”
His duties as City Clerk include:
- Custodian of city records
- Writing agendas for city council meetings
- Recording the minutes of city council meetings
- Maintaining the various boards and commissions
- Administrating campaigns for local, state, and federal elections
- Serving as election committee chair
- Coordinating FOIA requests
- Providing notary service
- Serving the public
There is no typical day for Antolin. That holds true even more with the 2022 election coming up.
“We’re in constant contact with the public at the counter, we’re dealing with the county and state, we’re making sure everything is in order with the election – there’s a big push for integrity,” said Antolin. “COVID has made it difficult to administer elections with all the scrutiny going on regarding the parties and election fraud accusations. I didn’t know where to begin with all that, especially since it’s been on the forefront in the media. It’s been a challenge, but I welcome challenges. That’s how we adapt and move forward.”
For Antolin, the best part of his job – cliché as it may sound – is serving the public.
“I enjoy helping residents and anyone else who comes here to City Hall,” he said. “The goal is to give everyone a great experience when they’re dealing with the city. Local government always gets a lashing just because it’s government. We try to create a positive perception. It’s very rewarding to be helping the public.”

Railways aren’t only about passengers, they are also about freight. The Indian railway system is one of the largest in the world. Depending on how you define a “train”, there are more than 13,000 passenger trains every day and almost 8,500 freight trains, and these trains traverse almost 7,500 stations. In some other major railway systems in the world, railways are primarily used for freight. That’s not true of India, partly because of the way railways have evolved historically.
Notwithstanding the growth of civil aviation and road transport, railways remain the life-line for many passengers; many of whom travel unreserved. (The percentage depends on whether one is counting the local trains or not.) Because of this passenger focus, we often look at what’s happening to railways with that passenger lens.
In other sectors, as consumers, we have benefited from liberalisation and the resultant competition and efficiency. Why should that not happen for railways too? Why can’t we have railway stations comparable to stations in the rest of the world? Why can’t the railway stations be like airports? We will soon have such modern stations in Habibganj (Bhopal), Gandhinagar and Bijwasan (Delhi). At some point, Nagpur, Gwalior, Amritsar, Sabarmati, Shivajinagar, Surat, Baiyyappanahalli, Gandhinagar (in Jaipur), Kanpur, Thakurli, Anand Vihar (Delhi) and Chandigarh will follow.
Much needed changes
But we must remember, change doesn’t happen overnight. The legacy of several decades cannot be overcome at the stroke of a pen. Change is always incremental and, there is a timeline. Indeed, there is a template for change. There is a National Rail Plan, that will serve as a vision document for 2030. Earlier, there was the Debroy Committee Report in which we focused on five major strands — (A) Decentralisation of decision-making; (B) HR changes, to break down silos; (C) A regulator, to ensure fair competition between private players and the public sector entity (which will continue to run trains); (D) Modernisation of accounts; and (E) Private entry.
Indian railways (IR) is divided into zones and divisions. Unnoticed to many of us who use that lens as passengers, and are less concerned about operational matters, a lot of decentralisation has occurred since 2014 (actually 2015), with decisions delegated downwards to general managers and divisional railway managers . Not only was there excessive decentralisation over time, down the years, with a large number of services, IR operated in silos.
Our primary recommendation under (B) was to unify Group A services through the Indian Railways Management Service (IRMS). This is easier done prospectively. There are more complicated issues when one tries to adapt the new system retrospectively, with messy seniority problems. A major change like this requires intensive discussions, plus there was the pandemic. Post-Covid, the new IRMS (recruited through UPSC) has just been announced.
Privatisation v Private entry
People often use the word “privatisation” irresponsibly, without explaining what they mean. There is track and related infrastructure. IR is so integrated vertically that, it is virtually impossible, and unnecessary, to dismantle and privatise track and related infrastructure. Countries that have tried to do that haven’t necessarily succeeded. Hence, one should use the expression private entry, which allows for competition and the consequent efficiency.
When one boards a train, most services are already privatised. When one passes through a station, most services are already privatised. The more visible aspect of this is of course that of the private sector running trains. In other words, track is publicly owned, and both IR and the private sector run trains on this common track, with access problems sorted out. Post-Covid, a private Bharat Gaurav train has now started, and there will be more. To ensure that the rules of competition are fairly implemented between the private and the public, we of course need a regulator.
That regulator can also recommend tariffs. If we want better trains, better services, and better stations, we must be prepared to pay more. A perennial problem has been artificially low passenger fares, and these are cross-subsidised by artificially high freight costs. To state it bluntly, our figures (at the time of the Committee) were that, to subsidize one passenger train, one needed to run one and a half goods trains.
All of us would like faster trains and there are several high-speed corridors in the offing, with Mumbai-Ahmedabad the most visible and the earliest to be completed. But others are planned. There is the related matter of dedicated freight corridors, which also free up tracks for use by passenger trains, enabling faster travel. (In both such cases, as with several physical infrastructure projects, land must be acquired.) Stations, and comparing them to airports, is a good example to make a different point. Can stations be built by the private sector (Delhi and Mumbai airports)? That depends on whether the land is available, and can be monetized. Therefore, it is good to bear in mind IR’s plans in the National Monetization Pipeline.
In sum, these are exciting times for the IR. They are also challenging times, since IR is at a cusp, and expectations are high.

Foreign carriers’ trapped funds in Nigeria increase from $450m to $600m, may rise to $1bn by December
As Nigeria becomes most indebted to foreign airlines globally
The ongoing controversy raging over the foreign airlines’ trapped funds in Nigeria may soon explode on the face of the federal government as the trapped funds have now increased from $450 million to a whopping $600million.
Nigerian Tribune reports that as at March 2022, the trapped funds was $285 million.
Information reaching the Nigerian Tribune has indicated that the debts which rose to $450 million as at June has again skyrocketed to $600 million with the believe that the amount can further increase to almost $1billion by the end of the year if the federal government fails to intervene.
The amount which consists of the accumulated funds generated by the over 27 foreign carriers operating into Nigeria through the air transport services rendered to the Nigerian traveling public, but got trapped in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) due to forex scarcity, has continued to generate backlash both from within and outside Nigeria.
According to information gathered by the Nigerian Tribune at the weekend, the latest $600 million trapped funds represents nearly half of the whole $1.620 billion owed the foreign carriers globally showing Nigeria as the biggest indebted to the foreign airlines.
Prior to now, several efforts made by the foreign airlines to get the trapped funds repatriated back to their home countries failed to yield any positive response from the government and the CBN.
The peak of the controversy which took a center stage at the recent Annual General Meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in Doha, United Arab Emirates (UAE) had the director general of the global clearing house for over 300 airlines across the globe, Willie Walsh expressing his displeasure at the the trapped funds in Nigeria and other parts of the world.
The latest information that the trapped funds has increased to $600 million has however elicited reactions from stakeholders across the sector with many warning that if the trapped funds continue to pile up that is may pitch the federal government against the home countries of the foreign airlines.
Though some have argued that the circumstances surrounding the trapped funds is beyond the government in view of the global scarcity of forex, others have accused the government of failing to comply with the international trade agreements existing in the Bilateral Air Service Agreements (BASA) policy between Nigeria and the countries of the foreign airlines which agreed that such funds should be allowed to be repatriated to the countries of the airlines that generate such funds.
While some key players have claimed that the continuous trapping of the said funds in Nigeria may boomerang, Director at Zenith Travels and a member of Aviation Round Table, Mr Olumide Ohunayo in his reaction said a great consequence awaits the country as the funds continue to increase.
His words: “As at June, 2022, it was $450 million, that amount has moved to $600million that Nigeria is owing foreign airlines that they could not repatriate which is their statutory responsibility based on the bilateral agreement.
“The whole world is now owing the foreign airlines $1.620billion, but out of this, Nigeria alone is owing $600 million. The amount is increasing. It was $285million as at March but increased to $450 million in June and has now moved to $600 million and the consequences are there for us to live with. Some of the airlines are no longer selling their cheap fares in Nigeria and now they have stopped selling their tickets in Naira. So these are some of the effects.”
Speaking in the same vein, president of the National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies (NANTA), Mrs Suzan Akporiaye concurred with the notion that failure of government to urgently address the crisis may have its negative effect on the generality of the Nigerian traveling public and the travel agencies.
Responding to the likely effects of holding on to the trapped funds of the international airlines, Akporiaye declared: “As regards the increase of foreign airlines trapped funds, as long as we keep selling, the amount will keep increasing there is no doubt about that. Definitely it’s a situation that will explode on our face if nothing drastic is done very soon. And once it gets to that stage nobody can blame the foreign carriers anymore.
“So the amount will keep going up as long as we keep on issuing tickets and that’s why there has been restrictions that have been placed by the foreign carriers, all forms of restrictions just to make sure the cost does not rise above something that they can afford. For instance, we cannot issue ticket that does not originate in Nigeria in Naira again, you have to go to the airline website and use your dollar card and issue it. What do I mean by ticket that does not originate from Nigeria, like somebody is coming from London into Nigeria and back to London, such ticket has been restricted for sale, the only way such ticket can be sold is that such ticket has to be sold from the UK market or through the website of the airline. So those are the things the airlines have put in place to make sure this does not rise above what they can manage.”

Lamenting how the actions taken by the airlines to cushion the effects of the trapped funds have affected the business of travel agents in the country, Akporiaye said: “Of course with all these airlines’ restrictions, our are members are not just feeling the heat, but we are being cooked in heat, the heat is becoming unbearable, we have been feeling the heat long before now, right now the heat that the travel agencies in Nigeria are feeling as a result of these blocked funds of the foreign airlines has become unbearable.
“Just as the foreign carriers have put some restrictions, we as travel agents, have also made some adjustments in our operations just to survive this process. So I use this opportunity again to call on the government that they should please remember the crisis that came up as a result of the COVID, my members are still trying to manage those crisis, we are still trying to manage the debts that my members incurred through that period, we are trying to pay.
“So all that going on and we are having this crisis again, the way I feel about this is that government has to put on its priority list the funds of the airlines, it cannot be in a non priority list, I believe the reason why it’s like this and it’s been piling up is because it has not been on the government’s priority list.”
Corroborating the positions of many stakeholders, another well respected travel expert who said he was not authorized to speak on the issue had declared: “The amount of trapped foreign airlines’ funds is in excess of $600 million. Unfortunately, repatriation of this huge amount is not the priority of the finance minister nor that of the CBN Governor, politics is on their minds. It is therefore up to the airlines to take whatever measures to reduce their risk and exposure in this market or lose a substantial part of the funds as a result of erosion of value.
“They will reduce flights, they will issue tickets only point to point and travelers will only have to purchase tickets for onward destinations when they arrive at the airlines hubs or make arrangements to purchase tickets in dollars or euros.”
When Nigerian Tribune contacted the head of Corporate Department in CBN, he only said the foreign airlines’ funds was not trapped at the apex bank in the country just as he hung up his phone abruptly. | https://tribuneonlineng.com/foreign-carriers-trapped-funds-in-nigeria-increase-from-450m-to-600m-may-rise-to-1bn-by-december/ | 2022-08-14T18:47:51Z | https://tribuneonlineng.com/foreign-carriers-trapped-funds-in-nigeria-increase-from-450m-to-600m-may-rise-to-1bn-by-december/ | true | 1 |
Gridiron Weekly: Experience could help Camelback to playoffs
Spartans look to light up scoreboard this season
WEEKLY BLOG: 8/14/22
How significant of an achievement was what the Camelback Spartans accomplished in having a winning season in 2021? It's something that hadn't been done since before (over a full season) any of those that suited up for the Royal Blue & Orange last year were born.
It was back in 2002 that the Spartans posted four shutouts and finished 9-2 taking the region title. That was the last Camelback team to win a region or qualify for the playoffs.
Looking at the '21 squad, Camelback rebounded from an 0-2 start to reel off seven straight victories. The seven-game win streak was the school's longest since 1980. However, a loss to Apollo in the season finale cost the Spartans both the region title as both AHS and the Spartans entered Game 10 at 4-0 in the region, and a playoff spot in the 5A Conference as the strength of schedule component penalized CBHS and it finished No. 20 out of the 43 teams in the conference (only 16 qualify for the postseason).
While that game and the ensuing formula likely led to disappointment, the success gained during the 7-3 campaign has driven the team, which returns many starters, into the 2022 season which starts in less than three weeks. Also, not to be forgotten in all of this is Camelback played just one game in the COVID-affected 2020 season.
Over the summer, Camelback alternated 7-on-7 competition on Thursday nights in June with Tempe High. The linemen competed in a Big Man Challenge with a half dozen other schools. For the skill players, the Spartans competed at Arizona State and were invited to Chilly's Flight Club. At that event in Maricopa, Camelback faced Mountain Pointe and Higley (only falling by 10 points). Camelback registered a win over Bourgade and came up just one point short in its other game against Arizona College Prep.
"This was the best Spring Ball and summer 7x7/big man we have ever had," Camelback head coach Brandon McNutt said in an e-mail interview. "Numbers were high. Attendance was great, and full of competition."
At running back, Amos Kanoyieh Slokan put up big numbers in just his first year of playing football. He was selected as a team captain for his senior year and will play both ways, adding linebacker to his repertoire, while also returning kickoffs.
"Amos Slokan is the total package," McNutt said. "The definition of a blue-collar worker. Experience will be the key of him being one of the best backs in Arizona this year. He is getting interest from D-III and NAIA schools. I know he can play at the next level. His strengths are his speed and toughness. We leaned on him to finish games for us last year and he never backed down from the challenge - he is fearless."
While there is experience on the ground, the real show promises to be the aerial attack. Word is the playbook will open way up from a team that threw for 187 yards per game last season.
At the controls is Max Martin. Martin transferred from Liberty in the summer of 2021 and had to sit the first five games per AIA transfer rules. Once Game 6 came, the team rolled, scoring more than 50 points on three occasions. Martin (6-2, 210) threw for 1,098 yards and had 13 touchdowns in his five games. He is also a team captain.
"Max Martin is an elite QB in the state of Arizona," McNutt said. "He's had several private workouts with D-I schools at Camelback. He has a great work ethic and football IQ and is an unselfish team player always trying to make the players around him better."
If you can play, McNutt has no problem getting you on the varsity field early. Kemahn Knight tied for the team lead in receptions as a freshman last year with 30. He turned those into 454 yards. Knight was busy during the offseason training, attending camps, and working on his timing with Martin.
"KK is a special player," McNutt said. "Mature beyond his years. The biggest thing he learned was the work it will take and exposure to get on to the elite level."
A couple other receivers to watch for worked on their speed last spring during track season. That's juniors Jaylin Gillis and Shawn Pereira. In addition, Camelback received a pair of transfers (something usually unheard of for a PXU school). Junior tight end Nate Wingfield comes over from Notre Dame Prep and sophomore Taleyjo Scott transferred from Centennial.
On the defense, the Spartans run a 4-3. Senior linebacker Julian Karim and senior defensive end Eddie Cortez were both First Team All-5A Metro Region performers last year. Linebacker Daviyon Day made Second Team as a freshman. Another freshman that played last year was defensive lineman Tyler Warchol. Defensive statistics were not available from MaxPreps.
Camelback was established in 1954 and the school has a rich history both in academics and athletics. McNutt is entering his fourth year has head coach of the Spartans in this run and ninth overall. He also has roots in the district as he played for Central and has also coached at Carl Hayden. His father is a Camelback alum. With the turnaround season last year (the Spartans were 4-6 in 2019), expectations increase.
"Our goal is to bring prominence and respect back to Camelback and PXU as a whole, year in and year out," McNutt said. "As a program, we want to compete for region and playoff spots annually. We are not taking any steps back. We are, and will continue to, move forward."
Camelback remains in the 5A Metro Region, but Apollo is no longer there. Joining the Spartans this year are PXU schools Fairfax, Central, and South Mountain. Maricopa and McClintock round out the group. Looking at the schedule, Desert Mountain is the lone school that made the playoffs in 2021. That likely means it will take an 8-2 record to crack the top 16 in the 47-school makeup of the 5A Conference to make the playoffs.
People are taking notice. In the AZPreps365 Sollenberger's annual prep magazine, the Spartans are ranked No. 10 in the 5A. Nine starters return on offense with eight on defense. The opener will take place on Saturday, Sept. 3 in the Skydome at Northern Arizona against Flagstaff. A check of the schedule will have to be done for Spartan fans weekly as it is made up of six Fridays, three Thursdays, and the aforementioned Saturday game. McNutt and his team plan to just go one game at a time and not look too far ahead.
"Our major emphasis in practice has been communication and correcting the finer details of our offense and defense," McNutt said. "We have a strong, but small senior class that have been great leaders and role models. We started nine freshmen last year and have a larger sophomore class that is loaded along with a frosh class coming that will have a few on varsity."

Serge Atakayi the hero as St Pat’s down Sligo Rovers at Richmond Park
ST PAT'S 1 SLIGO ROVERS 0
DANNY ROGERS kept a clean sheet on his debut to help St Pat’s strengthen their grip on fourth place.
Serge Atakayi capitalised on a defensive mix-up to give St Pat’s the lead.
Just a point between these sides going into the game so perhaps it was no surprise that this game was won by the narrowest of margins.
Atakayi pounced just after the half-hour mark after Sligo keeper Luke McNicholas and defender Shane Blaney got their wires crossed.
And St Pat’s held on, despite Mark Doyle’s second-half red card for a high challenge on Paddy KIrk.
It was his second successive dismissal as this was his first outing since being given his marching orders in the first leg of their Europa Conference League tie against Mura last month.
Rogers played his part with a late save to deny substitute Kailin Barlow having earlier thwarted Will Fitzgerald, Niall Morahan and Adam McDonnell
Joseph Anang - who had been due to spend the full season with St Pat’s - had been recalled by West Ham with the intention of loaning him to Derby County for the remainder of the season.
Any hopes David Odumosu had of this providing him with the chance he had been waiting for since following Tim Clancy from Drogheda United were dashed by an ankle injury he suffered in the warm-up before Thursday’s game against CSKA Sofia.

Clancy reacted by signing Rogers who featured in a number of Ireland squads but had been a free agent since being released by Oldham Athletic at the end of last season.
He was pressed into action early on by Fitzgerald who shot at the end of a driving run with Rogers happy to push it around the post at the expense of a corner.
Sligo did not have to wait long for their second corner either but their energetic start soon fizzled out as St Pat’s began to take control of the game.
Clancy had made two outfield changes from the European defeat with Serge Atakayi and Mark Doyle coming in for Jamie Lennon and Billy King with Chris Forrester handed a deeper role as a result.
And the pair almost combined to put St Pat’s ahead when the former Finland underage international pointed to Doyle where he wanted the ball.
His teammate obliged to tee Atakayi up to shoot but a deflection off Blaney took the sting out of the effort with Luke McNicholas able to gather.
ATAKAYI GOAL
St Pat’s might have had a penalty when Lewis Banks appeared to push Adam O’Reilly in the box but Ben Connolly waved away their appeals.
Brockbank went close following a Forrester free-kick before they did hit the front just after the half-hour mark.
Eoin Doyle played in Atakai. McNicholas came to the edge of the box presumably looking to claim the ball but Blaney had other ideas and steered it away from him.
Atakayi took full advantage of the confusion, seizing on the loose ball before firing home.
Mark Doyle and Anto Breslin had chances to double the home side’s lead but, for the final stages of the first half, they retreated and allowed Sligo to push them back.
After they break, they had several chances to equalise. The best of them came from the free-kick which followed Doyle’s high challenge on Kirk.
It was headed across goal by Nando Pijnaker but Lews Banks headed wide. Sligo kept pressing, leaving themselves vulnerable to counter-attacks, but could not find an equaliser.
