Kardashian fans share outrageous theory Khloe isn’t raising her own baby after spotting 3 ‘clues’
KARDASHIAN fans have an unusual theory that Khloe isn't raising her son after she was seen enjoying a night out after the birth.
The Good American co-founder and her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson welcomed their second child – a baby boy – via surrogate.
Days after reports surfaced that Khloe's son had been born via surrogate, she was seen out in Malibu sporting a sexy black dress.
Fans flocked to Reddit to react, attacking her for neglecting her parenting duties.
One particularly harsh critic commented on the thread, "Like, the baby is ~5 days old and she's caught dressed up in a 'tight black dress' for a night out," while others noted "clues" the believe gave way to an odd theory.
Some Reddit users speculated that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum may not actually be raising her own baby.
According to one Reddit user's outrageous theory: "The baby was just taken out of a woman that was essentially rented for nine months and when placed with his genetic mom was immediately ditched for a dinner outing and is a clear clue to him that he will be partially raised by a nanny for his entire life."
They went on: "He's basically a part-time responsibility for Khloe and I'm not saying that to be mean, because that's just how kids are when you're that rich. It goes for all of the sisters.
"The only thing that gives me a small bit of hope is the good things I've heard in regards to how Khloe treats True's nanny and how involved she seems to be compared to Kim and Kourtney."
The Reddit user added: "He certainly won't be raised by Tristan, either, at least not in a fair way.
Most read in TV Old
"Because giving all of your attention to 3/4 kids makes you an unfair parent even to the three you are involved with by nature of showing favorites and them having to find a different way to meet Theo."
PILING ON
Other fans were quick to agree, sharing their own thoughts and adding to the speculation on the thread.
Other haters accused Khloe of using her child as a "prop," or a storyline for her family's new Hulu series the Kardashians.
One commenter suggested the baby is "a doll for her to pick up when needed," adding, "I suspect she did not do the work to bond with this baby."
Another speculated: "Are she and Kylie BOTH saving their baby boys for a big reveal on the show? I feel like this is the case. So messed up to use children like this."
One fan floated another wild theory, writing: "I have a theory that Kylie’s baby is actually Khloe’s baby bc Kylie was khloe’s surrogate. That’s why we haven’t seen Kylie’s baby and when we finally see Khloe’s baby he will be 8 months old."
DADDY DILEMMA
Some guessed that Khloe might be spending time away from the baby because she's struggling to connect due to Tristan's past infidelity.
"She wanted a son so Tristan would want her/be faithful and it didn't work. She's probably feeling ill towards the baby," one Reddit user wrote.
Another wrote: "She only brought him because she thought it would make Tristan stay with her."
Khloe hasn't addressed the rampant speculation about her child or why she hasn't shown him off.
PHOTO OP PROP
Fans believe it's only a matter of time before the reality star shows off her son, however.
Although they believe a glimpse of the baby is incoming, critics made no secret about their beliefs about her motivations.
One Reddit user wrote: "She won't post pictures of this baby until she figures out how she's going to make money doing it."
Another added: "i feel like they treat kids as an accessory more than an actual human life sometimes. like a photo accessory, something new for people to talk about and keep them relevant. it’s gross."
Others think the baby is being used as fodder for the show, with one writing: "Yep, they need something big for the show now that Pete dumped Kim."
Khloe has been quiet amid the arrival of her son, but so has the rest of her family.
WELL WISHES
So far, only one member of the KarJenner clan has addressed the baby's arrival.
That family member is Caitlyn Jenner, who previously teased that another member of the family was expecting amid Kylie's baby news.
Caitlyn, 72, took to Twitter on Friday to write: “Congratulations major Khloe Kardashian, I love you so much!
“You are such a strong woman. And what an amazing mother!”
Caitlyn made the comments as she shared an online article about the new arrival.
News broke on August 5 that Khloe and her NBA star ex have welcomed a baby boy.
His name, however, is still unknown.
The baby was conceived shortly before Khloe learned that Tristan had cheated on her with Maralee Nichols, 31, in December while celebrating his birthday.
BABY ON BOARD
The reality star and Canadian-born athlete dated on-and-off from 2016 to 2021.
Tristan fathered a child with Maralee during an affair and Khloe ended their relationship for good after she found out.
In July, Khloe's rep confirmed that she and her cheating ex were expecting baby No. 2.
"Khloe is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing," her red said.

ATLANTA (AP) — Prosecutors in Atlanta said they need a special grand jury to hear from U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham because he may be able to provide insight into the extent of any coordinated efforts to influence the results of the 2020 general election in Georgia.
Fulton County Chief Senior Assistant District Attorney Donald Wakeford made that argument Wednesday during a federal court hearing on a request by Graham to quash his subpoena. Brian Lea, an attorney for Graham, argued that Graham’s position as a senator protects him from having to appear before the special grand jury in the investigation into whether former President Donald Trump and his allies committed crimes as they sought to overturn his narrow election loss in Georgia.
Graham’s attorneys — including Don McGahn, who served as White House counsel under Trump — successfully moved the issue of whether the subpoena should be quashed from Fulton County Superior Court to federal court.
U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May said she hopes to issue a ruling Friday but that it may take her until Monday to decide whether Graham should have to testify.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis opened her investigation early last year, and a special grand jury with subpoena power was seated in May at her request. The special grand jury began hearing from witnesses, including Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in June.
Willis indicated early on that she was interested in a phone call between Graham and Raffensperger in November 2020, shortly after the election. Raffensperger said at the time that Graham asked if he had the power to reject certain absentee ballots and that he interpreted that as a suggestion to toss out legally cast votes.
Willis wrote in a court filing last month that Graham made at least two telephone calls to Raffensperger and members of his staff in the weeks after the 2020 general election.
During those calls, he “questioned Secretary Raffensperger and his staff about reexamining certain absentee ballots cast in Georgia in order to explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome for former President Donald Trump,” Willis wrote.
Graham also “made reference to allegations of widespread voter fraud in the November 2020 election in Georgia, consistent with public statements made by known affiliates of the Trump Campaign,” she wrote.
Lea argued that the U.S. Constitution provides absolute protection against Graham being questioned about legislative acts. He also said “sovereign immunity” protects a senator from being summoned by a state prosecutor and that Willis has not demonstrated extraordinary circumstances necessary to compel testimony from a high-ranking official.
Graham had to decide whether to vote to certify the votes from Georgia and also has since proposed election-related legislation, so the phone calls were part of his legislative duties, Lea argued.
Wakeford said that while Willis’s team is interested in the phone calls, that is just a starting point. He also disputed the idea that the phone calls were solely about legislative issues, saying Graham was seeking to make some changes to the way Georgia handled absentee ballots ahead of January 2021 runoff elections.
May peppered both sides with questions during the two-hour hearing but cautioned the attorneys not to read too much into her questioning, explaining that’s how she makes sure she understands the issue.
If May doesn’t quash the subpoena entirely, Lea asked her to at least set guidelines for what Graham can be asked before the special grand jury. Wakeford asked her not to quash the subpoena and to send the matter back to Fulton County Superior Court. He said the two sides can negotiate which topics can be covered and any disputes based on federal principles can be brought back to May.
Wakeford’s proposal mirrors what May ordered when U.S. Rep. Jody Hice challenged his subpoena to testify before the special grand jury. But May said she wouldn’t necessarily do the same thing in this case, noting that Hice’s attorneys had agreed to those terms.
A group of six former federal prosecutors, including former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, on Wednesday filed a “friend of the court” brief in the case opposing Graham’s motion to quash his subpoena. They cite their collective decades of experience and expertise on the issues the senator raises.
“The subpoena reflects a narrowly targeted inquiry for unique evidence that is highly relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation, rather than a fishing expedition or an intrusion on legislative conduct,” their brief says.
May instructed Graham’s attorneys to respond to that brief by Thursday at noon and told Willis’s team to respond to Graham’s response by 9 a.m. Friday. | https://www.wkrg.com/news/politics/sen-graham-fights-subpoena-in-georgia-election-probe/ | 2022-08-14T19:14:48Z | https://www.wkrg.com/news/politics/sen-graham-fights-subpoena-in-georgia-election-probe/ | true | 42 |

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — An anti-abortion activist who heads a small hard-right Republican group said he’s offered to pay the expected $229,000 cost of a hand recount of votes from every Kansas county after a decisive statewide vote affirming abortion rights.
Mark Gietzen, who leads the group Kansas Republican Assembly, told the Kansas City Star he wants to pay for the recount that Melissa Leavitt, of Colby, requested because he believes it could change the outcome. The 165,000-vote difference in the election makes that unlikely, however.
Gietzen said fundraising and his own money would be used. The Kansas Republican Assembly is significantly to the right of the state Republican Party and isn't affiliated with the GOP-led legislature.
There has been no evidence of significant problems with the election. Baseless election conspiracies have circulated widely in the U.S., particularly among supporters of former President Donald Trump, who has repeated false claims that he lost the 2020 election through fraud.
Kansas law requires that a bond be posted to cover the cost of the recount and if the recount changes the outcome, the money will be refunded.
A spokeswoman for the Kansas Secretary of State's Office, Whitney Tempel, said Friday that Leavitt had posted a $200,000 bond, but Leavitt said in updates posed to TikTok over the weekend that the bond had not been paid yet and fundraising was ongoing. Tempel didn't immediately respond to messages from the newspaper and The Associated Press.
Leavitt said in a video posted to TikTok on Sunday morning that there was 24 hours left to raise money for the effort.
Earlier this month, Kansas voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would have allowed the conservative Legislature to further restrict or ban abortion. It failed by 18 percentage points and was the first test of voter sentiment after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in June that overturned the constitutional right to abortion. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Activist-offers-to-pay-for-Kansas-recount-of-17372770.php | 2022-08-14T19:18:10Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Activist-offers-to-pay-for-Kansas-recount-of-17372770.php | true | 14 |

<555-657-0990> created this group
Hi everyone! I created this group so we can bombard each other with early morning messages related to our children’s elementary school bus. It’s important that we keep each other in the loop about pickup times, changes to the route, and other superfluous details. Open this link to join my WhatsApp group. If you think you can ignore this invitation, you can’t. <11:59 PM>
I don’t want to start any drama, but I just went over the bus route and it seems like our kids are being picked up way too late. I’m going to track down the bus driver and bribe him with daily fresh muffins to start pickups a few minutes before dawn. This way the kids can enjoy the sunrise on the way to school. I’m PMing each of you who haven’t yet joined. <9:14 AM>
Great news! The bus driver is in! He agreed to start at 4:45 AM (after I also presented him with a suitcase full of cash). Reminder to JOIN! <5:40 PM>
Now, I was thinking… It might be a good idea to post messages after each kid is picked up so that we know that the bus has not disappeared into some space/time continuum. I’m about to FaceTime whoever is still not on the chat. <10:37 PM>
Good morning! Some of you might be sleeping, but I figured, I’d text you anyway with a “🙂” since I’m up watching weather reports so I can prep gear for the short walk to the bus stop. Please reply with another “🙂” so that I know you saw this message. <3:14 AM>
Have your kids been picked up yet? We’re at the stop 45 minutes before the driver said he’d be here, but there's no sign of him. Do you think he had a seizure or do you think the guy I gave the cash to was some sort of imposter? I’m very concerned… <4:00 AM>
Reply to my message or I’m going door to door with a rooster to wake you. <4:01 AM>
Update: He was right on time, guys! I inspected the bus for safety, and there is a microscopic scratch near the left headlight. The driver assured me it was not from a previous accident or an encounter with a man wielding a chainsaw. <4:45 AM>
Okay, so I slipped a GPS tracker into Joey’s backpack and now I see the bus has been idling on Central Avenue for five minutes. Can someone reassure me that the Earth has not opened up and swallowed the bus whole? <5:15 AM>
Nevermind. It’s moving. <5:16 AM>
Oh no! I got an alert that the bus is headed west. There’s a hospital in that direction. Do you think that wild eagles maybe got in through a window and pecked through Joey’s skull? I’m calling him, but he muted me. Does anyone else’s kid have a phone? Can someone call them to check? <5:19 AM>
Ok, so I’m in my car, right behind the bus. We’re stuck by a bridge because they are closing it for repairs. Do you think the bus driver knows to find an alternate route instead of trying to cut through the river? If he ends up in the water, does anyone know if buses float? I don’t recall it being one of those Duck Tour ones. I’m calling the bus company. Will keep you posted. <6:30 AM>
Can someone call the coast guard in case we need to start the rescues? <6:31 AM>
🙏 <6:32 AM>
Anyone? <6:37 AM>
Ok, I just found out someone started a different bus chat. Can one of you share the link? I want to join that one too. <7:00 AM>

The investigation against Donald Trump for taking classified documents further polarizes the United States in an election year
Washington- The open investigation into the former president of USA donald trump for taking classified documents from the White House has further polarized US politics with less than three months to go before key midterm elections.
The Vice President of the country, Kamala Harrisdescribed this Saturday as “dangerous” and “irresponsible” the position of the Republicans, who have denounced a political persecution behind the registry executed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) last Monday at the Trump mansion in Florida.
Speaking to the press from Oakland, Harris claimed that FBI agents do “a very important job” and condemned the fact that Republicans have adopted “a rhetoric that exposes law enforcement.”
A man was gunned down trying to enter the FBI field office in Cincinnati on Thursday, an incident Democrats have linked to Republican criticism of Trump’s home policing.
The FBI search took place Monday at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida, where agents were looking for classified documents that Trump may have illegally taken upon leaving office.
The White House maintains that this is an independent investigation carried out by the Justice Department and that the president, Joe Bidenfound out from the press about the raid.
But the Republicans and Trump himself have denounced political persecution ahead of the midterm elections in November, in which the Democrats could lose their majority in the Congress.
Given the commotion generated, the attorney general of the United States, Merrick Garlandasked the judge to publish the search warrant for the mansion, something that Trump did not object to.
In the order, revealed on Friday, it is indicated that the former president is being investigated for the possible commission of three crimes: violation of the Espionage Law, obstruction of Justice and destruction of documents, which, in case of conviction, could lead from fines to prison sentences and disqualification from holding political office.
For its part, the inventory of what was seized by the FBI shows that the documentation includes twenty-six boxes each labeled with a number, as well as several folders of documents and photos with the labels “top secret” or “confidential.”
Among them appears a document under the title “President of France” and another on the request for pardon of Roger Stone, a Trump confidant, as well as numerous confidential documents without description.
The order approved by Palm Beach Judge Bruce Reinhart was signed on August 5, three days before the raid, and gave the FBI until the 19th of this month to carry out the search.
That warrant listed what the FBI could seize: any document or box marked “classified,” any evidence of data transmission or national security information, and any presidential files created between January 20, 2017, and January 20. of 2021, the four years of Trump’s mandate.
They could also search for any evidence of destruction of documents from the Presidency.
Trump defended himself on his own social network, Truth, by assuring that “first of all, everything was declassified. Second, they didn’t need to ‘seize’ anything. They could have done it at any time, without doing politics or entering Mar-a-Lago. Everything was in a secure warehouse. (…) The only thing they should have done was ask”.
He also accused former President Barack Obama (2009-2017) of having also taken millions of documents when leaving the White House, something that the National Archives Administration denied in a statement in which he stated that the former Democratic president delivered the documentation as established the law. | https://d1softballnews.com/the-investigation-against-donald-trump-for-taking-classified-documents-further-polarizes-the-united-states-in-an-election-year/ | 2022-08-14T19:46:15Z | https://d1softballnews.com/the-investigation-against-donald-trump-for-taking-classified-documents-further-polarizes-the-united-states-in-an-election-year/ | false | 2 |

On Saturday night, the Chicago Bears won their preseason opener against the Kansas Chiefs 19-14. Former Wisconsin inside linebacker Jack Sanborn excelled in his debut for the Bears and grabbed an outstanding interception in his first game.

The Deer Park, Ill., native surprisingly went undrafted in May but was fortunate to sign with his hometown team. Sanborn recorded seven solo tackles in his debut with the Bears, in addition to an interception, fumble recovery and pass defended. The interception was a result of a phenomenal read from the former Badger, who then beat the intended receiver to the ball to make the pick.
It is great to see Sanborn proving those who chose not to draft him wrong so early in his professional career, despite him playing for the rival Chicago Bears.

Three people killed in overnight shootings in Memphis, MPD says
Three people were killed in separate shootings on Saturday night and Sunday morning, the Memphis Police Department reported. The situation illustrates the city's ongoing struggle with gun violence.
The first homicide was reported just after 9 p.m. Saturday in the 2800 block of Chelsea Avenue in North Memphis.
A vehicle struck a train and the driver was pronounced dead, the police department posted on Twitter. An investigation revealed the driver was shot before the crash, the police said.
The police department didn't immediately release the victim's gender or age.
At 11:17 p.m., officers responded to a shooting in the 5100 block of Yale Road in Raleigh. A person was pronounced dead at the scene, MPD said on Twitter. The police described her as female, but didn't release her age.
The shooting site is about a quarter-mile from Craigmont Middle School.
The police were asking anyone with information on these first two shootings to call in tips to Crime Stoppers at 528-2274.
Then at 1:16 a.m. Sunday, police responded to another shooting in the 4500 block of Millbranch road in Whitehaven where a male victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The police said the suspects were male, one in an orange and black hoodie and another in a gray hoodie.
Memphis set a grim record of homicides in 2021, with 346 killings, breaking the record set in 2020.
As of Sunday, the city of Memphis data web site listed 169 homicides in 2022 so far. It wasn't clear if this number included the most recent homicides.

BERLIN — Authorities in Norway have euthanized a walrus that had drawn crowds of spectators in the Oslo Fjord after concluding that it posed a risk to humans.
The 600-kilogram (1,320-pound) female walrus, known affectionately as Freya, became a popular attraction in Norway in recent weeks, despite warnings from officials that people should refrain from getting close and posing for pictures with the massive marine mammal. Freya liked to clamber on small boats, causing damage to them.
Walruses are protected and as recently as last month officials said they hoped Freya would leave of her own accord and that euthanasia would be a last resort.
Norway's Directorate of Fisheries said Freya was put down early Sunday "based on an overall assessment of the continued threat to human safety."
"Through on-site observations the past week, it was made clear that the public has disregarded the current recommendation to keep a clear distance to the walrus," it said. "Therefore, the Directorate has concluded, the possibility for potential harm to people was high and animal welfare was not being maintained."
The head of the directorate, Frank Bakke-Jensen, said other options — including moving the animal elsewhere — were considered. But authorities concluded it wasn't a viable option.
"We have sympathies for the fact that the decision can cause a reaction from the public, but I am firm that this was the right call," Bakke-Jensen said. "We have great regard for animal welfare, but human life and safety must take precedence."
Atlantic walruses normally live in the Arctic. It is unusual but not unheard of for them to travel into the North and Baltic Seas. Another walrus, nicknamed Wally, was seen last year on beaches and even a lifeboat dock in Wales and elsewhere.

On a glorious fall day in 2016, I stood before an audience of cancer survivors and wondered, “What can I possibly tell them that they don’t already know?”
The event was a “Celebration of Life,” hosted by United Hospital Center in Bridgeport, W.Va., to honor oncology patients and to remind them that they were not alone.
I had no degrees, no expertise at all to offer. But I’ve raised three children and buried my share of loved ones. I lost my mother, my stepfather, my brother’s wife and my first husband, all to cancer. I’ve been a daughter, sister, wife, widow, mother, grandmother and a student of life. And I’ve learned a few things along the way.
So I told them my story, hoping it might be their story, too. Here is some of what I said.
My first husband wore a lot of hats. He was “Dad” to our three children, a high school teacher, basketball coach, marathon runner, Young Life leader and a handyman around the house.
People are also reading…
He loved doing those things and kept doing them, even after he was diagnosed with cancer and given six months to live. By the strength of his will and the grace of God, he stretched those six months into four years. And along the way, we learned several lessons.
The first lesson was kindness. We were swamped with offers for help. So many casseroles showed up at our door I thought I might never need to cook again. Friends and even strangers said they were praying for us and that their children were praying for our children.
Kindness heals. I watched it heal the Coach, even as he was dying. I watched his spirit bloom with the realization of how much he was loved.
The second lesson was how to embrace change. As the cancer took its toll, he adapted. When he could no longer run, he went for walks. When he could no longer hike, he took photos of mountains and put them in scrapbooks. When he could no longer coach, he sat on the sidelines and cheered for his former players. When he could no longer teach or walk or change channels on the TV, he lay on the couch and welcomed a stream of visitors.
One by one, he let go of things that once defined him. Instead, he focused on what he could do, rather than what he could not.
We were fortunate to have friends who made us laugh and reminded us to be thankful. That was the third lesson: gratitude. Near the end, I gave the Coach a journal.
“I want you to use that,” I said, “to make a list every day of five things you are thankful for.”
“What if I don’t do it?”
“I’ll hide the TV remote.”
So he did it. My name often showed up on the list, but never at the top. He always listed God first. He said God never threatened to hide the remote.
After he died, I learned yet another lesson from the words of a friend who wrote: “The challenge for you now, having lost your loved one, is to live a life that is honoring to his memory, while at the same time that life moves forward, so only one person has died, not two.”
I don’t know why some people get to live longer than others. But I believe that those who do owe it to those don’t to live well, to keep moving forward, and to be more, not less, alive.
From my grandmothers, I learned I was loved. From my blind brother, I learned not to fear the dark. From my children, I learned there are things I can do and things I have to leave to God. From my late husband, I learned to let go. From my new husband, I learned to believe in second chances. And from my grandchildren, I’ve learned I will live forever in their hearts.
If there is any art to living, it might be this: Be kind. Embrace change. Be thankful. Live well.
And always celebrate life.

The New Features and Functionality Are Available on CellGate's Watchman WXL, Watchman W480 and Watchman W461 models.
CARROLLTON, Texas (PRWEB) January 25, 2022
Cellular access control industry leader, CellGate, has just announced two key upgrades to their entire line of multi-tenant access control hardware.
CellGate has added QR Code visitor management and SmartScreen call management to all three of the Company's multi-tenant cellular access control models: the Watchman WXL, the Watchman W480 and the Watchman W461.
With QR Code Visitor Management, a visitor of someone residing at a multi-tenant community can be sent a QR code invite, allowing that visitor to access the property during a specified date/time window. A multi-tenant property's system administrator(s) chooses which users are allowed to create and send QR code invitations, and these invites can be generated and sent on the CellGate app.
With SmartScreen call management, customers can now customize the direct dial call options their multi-tenant properties have to choose from on their CellGate access control system's home screen. A Watchman WXL, Watchman W480 or Watchman W461 home screen can now be configured to provide from 1 to 4 press-to-call icons. The "Resident Directory", "QR Code" and "Access Code" icons are available as standard/default choices, and these icons can be configured for use--or not--depending on a property's visitor management call function requirements. In addition, one specific press-to-call icon can also be configured for direct dial for any person or group that a property chooses. Potential examples include, but are not limited to, "Leasing Office," "Deliveries," or "Security."
The implementation of these multi-tenant access control hardware updates has been a significant priority for CellGate's technology development team this year, and will be instrumental in helping their distributor and dealer networks win more business opportunities with CellGate products. Very few competitor access control companies offer QR Code Visitor Management, and new user-definable SmartScreen call management is an exclusive feature unique to CellGate.
CellGate's Vice-President of Sales, Ken Shaw, has been anticipating these feature upgrades, and is eager to demonstrate their value to the Company's distributor and dealer networks. "We know how important these new features will be to multi-tenant properties," said Shaw. "Using QR codes for visitor management is much more secure than using access codes, which are unfortunately, often shared. So implementing this technology automatically makes a property more secure. In addition, we are the only company in the cellular access control industry that has SmartScreen call management functionality—community properties will love being able to configure their access control home screens to their unique needs."
All new CellGate Watchman WXL, Watchman W480 and Watchman W461 multi-tenant model product purchases will automatically have the new QR code and SmartScreen functionality, effective immediately.
CellGate has been providing access control and security monitoring products utilizing cellular and internet network technology since 2006. They are the only technology company with a complete suite of cellular-based security products—encompassing integrated streaming video, access control and camera solutions. With their easy-to-use smart phone applications and proprietary web-based TrueCloud™ portal built on Microsoft Azure's cloud service, CellGate offers flexibility found in no other access control or monitoring solution.

Fairycore will make your living space a place to escape and dream
If you are looking for home decor options that emit a mystical vibe, fairycore may be for you. Flowers, sparkling lights, mushrooms, soft hues and more – the lighthearted feel of pieces that create this interior design make a room warm and inviting.
At a time when many people are seeking a reprieve from the many troubles in the world, there’s little doubt why this positive decorative theme has been trending on Instagram, Pinterest and TikTok as one of the most popular room trends of 2022. To add a touch of magic to your favorite space, you’ll need a few items that create a fairycore aesthetic such as Minetom Fairy String Lights, the Home Decorators Collection Round Antiqued Accent Mirror and Butterfly Craze Artificial Lavender.
What is fairycore?
Fairycore is a decor trend that creates a relaxing atmosphere with both magical and nature-based items. While there’s not a set way to create the unique aesthetic, there are several elements that are perfect to include into your decor scheme if you want to create this whimsical atmosphere in your home. Regardless of the items that appeal to your decor style, keep in mind that there are numerous ways to incorporate them into your fairycore room plan.
Lights
Not only does a soft glow illuminate a room without being too harsh, but it also shines light on other decorative items. To create this look that pairs perfectly with a fairycore theme, opt for string lights with small bulbs (often called fairy lights) and nightlights or lamps with vintage looks, embellishments or unique designs.
Plants
Because the faircore look is all about nature, plants are a must to include in your decor. If you have a green thumb and love houseplants, live plants are great options. However, there are many artificial plants that look realistic and work well for home decorating. Greenery such as ferns and ivy, all types of flowers and mushrooms are ideal for fairycore. In addition to real or faux plants, it’s fun to include wall art with plants.
Crystals
Crystals add to the mystical appeal of this type of decor. From hanging crystals to crystal lights to all types of crystal-embellished items, there are many ways to decorate with crystals in your room.
Mirrors
Another way to make a faircore space feel more magical is to add wall mirrors. Including several in one area enhances the effect. Look for mirrors with shapes and embellishments that stand out in a room.
Elegant fabrics
Soft, flowing fabrics help to give any fairycore room an ethereal atmosphere. Sheets made of satin or other shimmering materials and curtains made of sheer or semi-sheer materials with ruffles or lace go well with this aesthetic.
Antique items
A space with a fairycore theme is ideal for displaying treasured antiques or family heirlooms. That’s because they compliment the magical aura of a room and bring old and new elements together. An alternative to actual antiques is modern decor pieces with a vintage design.
Pastel colors
Regardless of the decor items you choose, look for those with pastel colors. Muted pink, blue, green, purple and more are romantic shades that promote a fantasy-like feel in a room.

Syria says Israeli strikes kill 3 soldiers, wounds others
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syrian state media says Israel has launched a missile attack on western and central regions killing three soldiers and wounding three others. The Syrian military said Israel’s military targeted late Sunday several positions in the coastal province of Tartus and suburbs of the capital Damascus causing material damage. Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets inside government-controlled parts of Syria over the past years, but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations. Israel has acknowledged, however, that it targets bases of Iran-allied militant groups, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah that sent thousands of fighters to fight alongside Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces. | https://kesq.com/news/2022/08/14/syria-says-israeli-strikes-kill-3-soldiers-wounds-others/ | 2022-08-14T20:19:00Z | https://kesq.com/news/2022/08/14/syria-says-israeli-strikes-kill-3-soldiers-wounds-others/ | false | null |
Weightlifter Al-Biladi claims three bronze medals for KSA at Islamic Solidarity Games
Saudi Arabia failed to reach the final of the men’s handball competition after a 26-25 loss to Turkey
Updated 14 August 2022
Arab News
KONYA: Saudi weightlifter Abdulrahman Al-Biladi on Saturday claimed three medals at the fifth edition of the Islamic Solidarity Games, currently taking place in Turkey.
Al-Baladi’s three bronze medals came in the 73 kg division, having managed third-place finishes in the Snatch category with a lift of 130 kg, in the Clean and Jerk with a lift of 166 kg, and in the overall final standings with a total of 296 points.
With those results, the Kingdom’s medal tally at the tournament stood at 18 (one gold, 10 silvers and seven bronzes).
Meanwhile Saudi Arabia failed to reach the final of the men’s handball competition after losing 26-25 to hosts Turkey on Saturday night.
In an extremely tight semifinal, the Turkish team scored the winning goal with only five seconds left on the clock.
The Saudi team will now face Iran in the bronze medal match on Sunday evening.
Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2: ‘Fair tackle’ as Tuchel insists no hard feelings after Conte clash
Conte’s overexuberant celebrations of Spurs’ first equalizer resulted in the two coaches being booked for squaring up
Tuchel was not happy at the Italian for not making eye contact during a handshake at full-time
Updated 4 min 51 sec ago
AFP
LONDON: Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said he was happy to take a “fair tackle” from Tottenham boss Antonio Conte after both were shown red cards for clashing twice during a heated 2-2 on Sunday.
Conte’s overexuberant celebrations of Spurs’ first equalizer resulted in the two coaches being booked for squaring up.
Tuchel then responded by running down the touchline in celebration when Chelsea retook the lead through Reece James 13 minutes from time.
But Harry Kane’s 96th minute equalizer meant Conte had the last laugh.
Tuchel was not happy at the Italian for not making eye contact during a handshake at full-time, which sparked another melee between both sets of coaches and players.
“It was hot from the temperature and hot between the benches and hot on the field and hot between the spectators,” said Tuchel with temperatures soaring above 30 degrees Celsius in the English capital.
“There’s no hard feelings. I feel like it was a fair tackle from him and a fair tackle from me.
“We did not insult each other, we did not hit each other, we were fighting for our teams and from my side there’s absolutely no hard feelings. I’m surprised that we both got a red card for that.”
Tuchel’s ire was instead directed toward the officials as both Tottenham’s goals could have been disallowed.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s strike was allowed to stand despite a potential foul on Kai Havertz in the build-up and Richarlison standing in an offside position when the Dane’s shot was hit.
Before the corner leading to Kane’s equalizer, Spurs defender Sergio Romero also escaped a red card for dragging Marc Cucurella to the ground by his hair.
“It was a clear foul on Kai Havertz. Ok, the situation goes on and on and on, then it is a clear offside,” added Tuchel.
“Since when can you pull hair on the football field? It’s ridiculous.
“That’s the only frustration. I’m the happiest coach on earth because we played a fantastic match.”
Conte batted away several questions about his tete-a-tete with Tuchel, but admitted a gap between the sides remains despite Spurs’ improvement.
Chelsea won all four meetings between the sides last season, three of them after Conte took charge in November.
“In my opinion it is better to talk about the game,” said Conte. “Chelsea showed to be a really good team, but compared to last season we did a bit better.
“The difference is clear. This team won the Champions League two years ago, last year won the Club World Cup, got to the final of the FA Cup and Carabao (League) Cup.
“There is a difference between Chelsea and Tottenham but we are here to reduce this gap. Last season we lost three times, this time we drew so it’s a little step forward.”
Anthony Joshua praises Saudi passion for boxing ahead of biggest fight of his career
British fighter takes on Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk at “Rage on the Red Sea” showdown on Aug. 20
Updated 14 August 2022
Arab News
JEDDAH: With under a week to go to the biggest fight of the year, billed the “Rage on the Red Sea,” Anthony Joshua reflected on his first visit to Saudi Arabia in 2019 and how he is ready to “put on a show” for his second fight in the Kingdom: The rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
At face value, Joshua’s ambitions are simple.
“Last time here I became two-time champion,” he says, just days out from his rematch. “The sole aim now is to become three-time!”
Scratch the surface a little, though, and there is a far greater depth to the goals of both the fighter and host nation.
The last time Joshua fought here he did so under similar circumstances. He went into 2019’s “Clash of the Dunes” in Diriyah bidding to reclaim the belts he had lost to his opponent just months earlier, and does so again in Jeddah after dropping those same titles to Usyk last year.
Joshua went on to outclass Andy Ruiz Jr. from start to finish in Diriyah, and the Briton, understandably, recalls the night with real fondness.
“I have great memories from 2019,” he said. “Everything about the event was spot on. From the purpose-built stadium, the organization and the hospitality, it was all 10 out of 10. It was a phenomenal event for boxing in general and, of course, very special for me as I became two-time champion.”
A seed was planted on Dec. 7, 2019, and boxing in the Kingdom has grown at a rapid pace ever since. There has been a 300 percent increase in participation across men and women in Saudi Arabia, the number of boxing gyms in the country has climbed from seven to 59, and last December saw the Saudi Arabian Boxing Federation introduce the first ever women’s boxing championship.
“Clash of the Dunes” left a legacy for boxing to build upon in Saudi Arabia, something the Joshua is immensely proud of and hopes to further once again when he takes on Usyk at King Abdullah Sports City on Saturday, Aug. 20.
“It’s fantastic that the country has taken the sport to heart,” said Joshua. “I know it has grown by over 300 percent, lots of facilities have opened since 2019 and the women’s championship happened last year. As professional fighters competing on a global scale it is fantastic to see the sport grow and inspire a new generation to it.”
Joshua departed Saudi Arabia a hero in 2019, having brought the pinnacle of the sport to the country for the very first time. The welcome he was given, as well as the support throughout his time there, left a mark on him.
“I have been shown such kindness since I have been here,” he explained. “It is obvious to me that the country has really embraced the sport and that certainly fills me with energy to want to perform in front of the fans.”
The 32-year-old will need all the energy he can muster from the Jeddah crowd as he runs it back against a man widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet.
Usyk extended his career unbeaten run to 19 fights by securing a unanimous points victory over Joshua, and the 35-year-old Ukrainian is a technical master in the ring. But, while Joshua insists Usyk deserves the respect his achievements command, he is ready to make the most of a rare opportunity at redemption.
He said: “Things happen in life, but resilience and mental toughness and consistency will always prevail, so we are still on the right road. I am focused on the target and goal and it’s all about performance now. I had to take the defeat like a man and hold myself accountable. I simply have to reverse it and move forward.
“We have to give him credit, I respect him for his craft. I am motivated to get better. The great thing is I have a second chance to beat him. You can put me down, but you can’t keep me down.
“My team and I are focused on the goal, taking all the learnings from the last fight and on Aug. 20 I will entertain the fans who come out to see a huge night of heavyweight boxing.”
The battle that tops the billing at “Rage on the Red Sea” is the obvious big-ticket draw for fight fans both watching in the stadium and at home on pay-per-view, but the remainder of the card will make history, too, and is littered with talented, high-stakes bouts from start to finish.
The impact of this event on the ongoing transformation of Saudi Arabia through sport will continue the momentum from the incredible response to “Clash of the Dunes.”
There is Saudi fighter Ziyad Al-Maayouf to inspire local fight fans, while Ramla Ali and Crystal Garcia Nova will be the first female boxers to ever feature in an official international fight in Saudi Arabia. Then there are light-heavyweight and heavyweight final eliminators between Callum Smith and Mathieu Bauderlique, and Filip Hrgovic versus the undefeated Zhilei Zhang, respectively.
Added to that are names such as former two-weight world champion Badou Jack and his opponent Richard Rivera, as well as Daniel Lapin, Jozef Jurko, Andrew Tabiti and Tyrone Spong.
For Joshua, this means only one thing: This event is not to be missed.
“All focus is on fight night, and we are certain to put on a serious show for them,” he said.
“I can’t wait to see everyone at the arena. It is set to be an unbelievable night of championship-level boxing. For any sports fan this is not to be missed, it has all the ingredients to go down in boxing history.”
Young Saudi pool player wins against American professional star
Commentator: The big story here, all the way from Saudi Arabia, Al-Ghamdi beats Skyler, what a story at the inaugural European Open
Al-Ghamdi claimed a gold medal in the nine-ball competition for juniors at the West Asian Billiards and Snooker Championships in Dubai
Updated 14 August 2022
Nada Hameed
JEDDAH: Khaled Al-Ghamdi, a Saudi junior billiards team player, scored an important victory on Aug. 10, beating American professional pool player Skyler Woodward in the European Open Championship that concluded on Sunday in Germany.
The European Open Pool Championship 2022 was a nine-ball pool tournament held from Aug. 9-14.
Matchroom Pool, the world’s leading pool promoter, tweeted a video of the match with the message: “Saudi Arabia, you’ve got a special player on your hands! 17-year-old Khalid Alghamdi comes back from 6-2 down against two-time Mosconi Cup MVP Skyler Woodward to win 9-7.”
The commentator in the footage said: “Remember, he started to play pool on a computer, and his father Omar said ‘why not try the real thing?’”
Al-Ghamdi took to the game “like a duck to the water”, and after scoring the nine balls smoothly, the commentator said: “The big story here, all the way from Saudi Arabia, Al-Ghamdi beats Skyler, what a story at the inaugural European Open.”
Al-Ghamdi’s legendary win was made all the more exciting given he had trailed 6-2 at one stage.
His achievement has opened the door to the prospect of playing against other international stars in future.
Fahad Nazer, spokesperson for the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, DC tweeted the video of Al-Ghamdi’s brilliant performance and said: “#Saudi Vision 2030 has established a sports sector in the Kingdom in record time, generating thousands of jobs & improving the quality of life for everyone living in the Kingdom in the process.
“It has also led to the development of world-class athletes in several sports.”
The tweet went viral as Arab billiards fans were left stunned by, and proud of, Al-Ghamdi’s professional performance.
Khalid Abalhassan @twiffessor said: “A big win Khalid. Keep going.”
Al-Ghamdi started playing when he was just 10 years old, and despite his young age, he trained hard.
When he was 14, he was the first and youngest Arab — and Saudi — to win first place at the 2019 USA Pool League National in the 8-ball Singles Junior Division, in Las Vegas.
In November 2021, Al-Ghamdi claimed a gold medal in the nine-ball competition for juniors at the West Asian Billiards and Snooker Championships in Dubai.
Stoffel Vandoorne and Mercedes-EQ seal Formula E world titles
Vandoorne finishes second in Round 16, enough to secure title by 33 points ahead of Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans
Edoardo Mortara wins in Round 16 of the ABB FIA Formula E Season 8 in Seoul to take third overall
Updated 14 August 2022
Arab News
SEOUL: Stoffel Vandoorne raced ahead to a second-place finish in the Hana Bank Seoul E-Prix to seal the 2021-22 ABB FIA Formula E Drivers’ World Championship and secure the Teams’ World Championship for his team Mercedes-EQ.
On a day that saw Edoardo Mortara of ROKiT Venturi Racing win the 100th E-Prix race in the world’s first electric motorsport World Championship, Vandoorne’s Season 8 title also marked the end of the Gen2 era in Formula E — the second iteration of electric racecar in the series.
The Gen3 car will debut next season as the fastest, lightest, most powerful and most efficient electric racecar ever built.
Formula E’s first venture into the South Korean capital of Seoul saw Vandoorne navigate a Lap 1 melee and keep it clean throughout the rest of the race to bring the Silver Arrow 02 home in second place.
Only Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) had any chance of catching Vandoorne going into the race. But Vandoorne’s eighth podium of the season — more than any other driver — proved to be enough to see him take a maiden Drivers’ crown and hand Mercedes-EQ back-to-back Drivers’ and Teams’ titles on the German marque’s Formula E swansong.
“World champions, wow,” said Vandoorne. “It’s just the best feeling ever. Just look at the season we’ve had, the consistency and the car has been amazing, and the team has done an incredible job. I think every single one of us deserves it. What we’ve accomplished is something special.
“Mitch has pushed me all the way along, the same with Edo, they were there all the time. It was really about the consistency in the end. They all have more wins than me, but I have the most podiums, I think. It was difficult to focus because the pace at the end was so high. I knew Jake had a five-second penalty, so I had to stay close enough to him to secure P2,” the Mercedes driver added.
“It was an awesome day, a lot of concentration. I am drained after this year. It has been a lot of effort. The effort I have put in and the team has put in — it is incredible.”
Mortara controlled the race once he hit the front via a stunning dummy that saw him complete a successful switchback on Julius Bär polesitter António Félix da Costa (DS TECHEETAH) on Lap 3. From there, he managed the gap and his usable energy perfectly to sign off his and Venturi’s campaign in style — the Monegasque outfit taking second in the Teams’ running ahead of DS TECHEETAH, and Mortara third in the Drivers’ Championship.
Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti) drove to a strong third position, despite a tough-to-take five-second penalty following a coming-together with da Costa.
Season 8 was the biggest to date in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with 16 races on street circuits in 10 world cities: Diriyah, Mexico City, Rome, Monaco, Berlin, Jakarta, Marrakesh, New York City, London and Seoul. Both Jakarta and Seoul were debuts for Formula E.
The dawn of the Gen3 era in Season 9 will see Formula E go bigger and further than ever before with a provisional calendar featuring 18 races in 13 cities. The season begins on Jan. 14 in Mexico City and continues in Diriyah, Hyderabad, São Paulo, Berlin, Monaco, Seoul, Jakarta, Rome and London. Three E-Prix host cities will be announced later this year, while Hyderabad and São Paulo are both debut venues.
McLaren Racing will be entering Formula E for the first time, taking over the triumphant Mercedes-EQ team, while Maserati will be making a return to motorsports for the first time in decades. ABT will also be returning to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
Mitch Evans wins Seoul E-Prix double-header opening race to keep Formula E title hopes alive
Standings leader Stoffel Vandoorne finishes fifth, reducing his lead to 21 points with a maximum 29 points available in the final race
Lucas di Grassi makes history with third place finish to become the first Formula E driver to surpass 1,000 points
Updated 14 August 2022
Arab News
SEOUL: Mitch Evans produced under pressure to keep his title chances alive and slice into Stoffel Vandoorne’s points advantage as the Kiwi jumped from third on the grid to win the 2022 Hana Bank Seoul E-Prix in style on Saturday.
Championship leader Vandoorne finished fifth to see his lead now reduced to 21 points with Evans second, meaning Sunday’s final race of the season will determine the winner of this year’s championship.
On Saturday, Evans of Jaguar TCS Racing driver dispatched Julius Bär polesitter Oliver Rowland (Mahindra Racing) off the line as the Brit struggled to get away cleanly over greasy road markings, the circuit still soaked from an earlier downpour. Evans then rounded Lucas di Grassi (ROKiT Venturi Racing) with a stealthy move into Turn 3 on the opening lap and did not look back.
It was an incident-packed opening lap as a multi-car shunt at the penultimate corner caused a 45-minute red flag stoppage. Sébastien Buemi, Oliver Askew, André Lotterer, Dan Ticktum, Oliver Turvey, Nick Cassidy, Norman Nato and Nyck de Vries were all caught out by standing water to hit the wall. There was an audible gasp from the stadium crowd as they saw de Vries’ Silver Arrow 02 undercut Buemi’s Nissan, which came to rest on top of the Dutchman’s car. Thankfully, there were no injuries.
After the restart, it was a relatively serene Saturday afternoon for Evans, who eased to a comfortable three-second gap for much of the race ahead of Rowland. The Brit was happy to seal his first podium finish of the season and his first with Mahindra.
After his win, Evans said: “That was the plan (to keep the Championship race alive). It has been a lot of work since London to make sure we can make this result possible. This morning was tricky. We didn’t quite have the pace, but then the rain came at the right time, I qualified at the front and had a good start.
“The race was really hard to manage, the conditions change all the time, so thanks to the team for guiding me through. This is what we needed, we don’t give up, so we go to tomorrow and keep fighting. Can I do the double? That’s the plan. I’ve done it before. Let’s do it again.”
Meanwhile, Rowland’s future Mahindra teammate, di Grassi, earned his 39th podium in third place and became the first driver in Formula E to surpass 1,000 points. On Sunday, he is set to become the only driver in the championship to have competed in all 100 E-Prix.
Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti) steered to the TAG Heuer Fastest Lap and fourth place, while Vandoorne kept the points ticking over with fifth place. Jean-Éric Vergne (DS TECHEETAH) had a mathematical chance of winning the championship going into the race, but his sixth-place finish ends his unlikely title run. Pascal Wehrlein (TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team), Robin Frijns (Envision Racing), António Félix da Costa (DS TECHEETAH) and Cassidy (Envision Racing) rounded out the points-paying positions.
The Drivers’ World Championship will be decided in the final race of the season with Vandoorne and Evans battling for Season 8 supremacy.
Mercedes-EQ sit atop the Teams’ World Championship with 301 points, but ROKiT Venturi Racing can still overhaul the German manufacturer.
The inaugural race in Seoul today will be followed tomorrow by Round 16, the final race in the biggest-ever ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season of 16 races in 10 world cities.
The second race in the Hana Bank Seoul E-Prix will also be the 100th E-Prix in Formula E history and will mark the end of the Gen2 race car era, ahead of an all-new Gen3 race car debuting next season. | https://www.arabnews.com/node/2142536/sport | 2022-08-14T20:30:10Z | https://www.arabnews.com/node/2142536/sport | true | 1 |
Harbor Link is constructing 60-Miles of new conduit to enhance and diversify digital infrastructure between Baltimore and Northern Virginia
Harbor Link Holdings LLC, a Maryland based company and a leader in telecommunications infrastructure, announces today that it has broken ground on the construction of a new 60-mile, diverse conduit route set to enhance connectivity between Baltimore, Maryland, Washington D.C., and Northern Virginia. The route features conduit for fiber optic cables to enable multi-path, high-speed connectivity along the highly traversed I-95 corridor. The underground infrastructure system will provide local and long-haul dark fiber capacity, with more than 300 easy access points to enable connectivity to bridge the digital divide for underserved communities along the route.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220124005857/en/

The new route offers dual-diverse paths along I-95 and Maryland RT-97, fortifying connectivity from Baltimore, MD to Northern Virginia, home to the world's largest data center and network connectivity hub. This vital corridor currently has limited access to dark fiber - raw data pipes that can be lit and serviced by providers and private network operators for enhanced data transmission and security.
Key highlights of the new conduit route include:
- 60-miles of wholly new conduit
- Duel-diverse paths along I-95 and MD RT-97
- 300 easy access points to the conduit system from Maryland through Northern Virginia
- Fully pathway resiliency, diversity, and redundancy
- End-to-end connectivity under 1 millisecond from Baltimore to Northern Virginia
"This project is a culmination of many years of work, and it's exciting to get this much needed new fiber optic conduit system underway," says Felix Dialoiso, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Harbor Link. "As the digital divide continues to affect underserved and minority communities, we are committed to bridging the divide to empower residents, businesses and communities with accessible and affordable high speed fiber optic solutions, enabling 5G Wireless capabilities and improving internet access for as many as possible."
Harbor Link supports equalized opportunities for all, and the use of its conduit and dark fiber system is available for large carriers to enhance and augment their network footprint with access to a more diverse and redundant route. Without massive capital expenditure investments, governments, enterprises and carriers can access dark fiber to provide their own lit services, enabling an alternative option from traditional incumbent network operators.
Harbor Link's new infrastructure project will offer much-needed route diversity to support pathway resilience, and deliver end-to-end connectivity in under 1 millisecond between Baltimore and Northern Virginia. Future phases may consist of network expansions further into Virginia, Delaware, and other areas around the Mid-Atlantic region.
Harbor Link is offering flexible lease-agreements on monthly or long-term indefeasible rights of use agreements (IRU's), the network is expected to be ready for service by the first quarter of 2023.

About Harbor Link:
Harbor Link is a leader in the telecommunications infrastructure industry, specializing in the design, construction, and maintenance of conduit infrastructure, as well as local and long-haul dark fiber networks. With the fastest speed and lowest latency, Harbor Link's open access model increases infrastructure resilience, security, and capacity, while lowering costs and expanding access to all public and private sectors, including federal facilities and government agencies throughout Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and the surrounding areas.

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of KE Holdings Inc. BEKE between August 13, 2020 and December 16, 2021, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important February 28, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased KE Holdings securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the KE Holdings class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases-register-2227.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 28, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) KE Holdings inflated the Company's GTV; (2) KE Holdings inflated the Company's revenues; (3) KE Holdings inflated the number of stores and agents using the Company's platform; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the KE Holdings class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases-register-2227.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Debate over security and immigration policy last week shifted from the U.S. southern border to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan.
That’s where three more busloads of asylum seekers on Wednesday arrived from Texas, courtesy of that state’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, who has been sending new arrivals to Democrat-run cities like New York and Washington, D.C, to draw attention to border issues.
The 80 to 100 migrants are among what the Adams administration contends are some 4,000 asylum seekers to come to New York City in recent months, filling the city’s homeless shelters to near capacity, while waiting for their asylum claims to be heard.
Weekend All Things Considered Host Tiffany Hanssen discussed the growing controversy with senior reporter Arun Venugopal of WNYC’s Race & Justice Unit. Their conversation has been lightly edited for content.
Before we get to the growing concern over shelter capacity, I want to talk about what it's like for these asylum seekers when they first step foot in New York City. You were there this week at the Port Authority. Paint a picture for me.
It was quite a scene. You had three buses pull up, one after the other off of Eighth Avenue. And as these migrants disembarked from these buses, they had to get past this massive crowd of members of the press, TV crews, as well as demonstrators – some of them holding signs; some of them trying to help these migrant travelers. And then they proceeded into the Port Authority, where they were greeted by city officials, nonprofit groups, and offered legal and medical assistance. And then we saw some of them leave, and head to what we were told were emergency shelters.
We're fairly certain they were headed to shelters? I have seen pictures this past week of folks sleeping on chairs and in offices. Do we know where they're going for sure?
Some of them are going to shelters. Some of them have journeyed to other cities to stay with relatives. Primarily we’re talking about single men who appear to be in their 20s and 30s, coming from countries like Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, even Argentina. There is a much smaller number of women and children. But, yes, here we're getting at the controversy, what the debate is about: Where are they? And how does their presence affect the shelter system, if at all?
The Adams administration is saying something like 4,000 immigrants seeking asylum have come into the city in recent months and that's what's causing this strain on the shelter system, which was near capacity. Advocates don't necessarily agree that it is asylum seekers filling the shelters. So what's going on here?
There is a real issue here, which is that there is a large number of asylum seekers – 4,000 or more, which members of the Adams administration, and the mayor himself, have been pointing to, saying we've had thousands of these immigrants arriving on buses that Gov. Abbott has been deploying and sending as part of this much larger sort of national debate about border security, and what he says are the failures of the Biden administration to maintain border security.
But what many other people are saying outside of the administration – people such as City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams – is, we need a lot more transparency on this 4,000 figure because they're not getting that so far. Other people, as well from the Legal Aid Society, are saying what they suspect is that the Adams administration is not being forthcoming enough and that they're using this 4,000 figure to cover up their failings on the city’s housing crisis. We don't actually have the answers on whether it is a significant number of migrants who are at the center of this problem, or if the Adams administration is really, in fact, covering up a problem that has to do with evictions and the housing crisis at large.
You mentioned Gov. Abbott from Texas. Despite the political and sort of divisive nature of his actions, is it true that he is actually forcing what some see as a needed discussion on the issue of immigration?
Well, I think that's what a lot of people are saying, including immigrant rights activists, who may be firmly in the opposite camp from Gov. Abbott and other hardliners when it comes to immigration. Some of them are pointing to what they see as failings of the Biden administration. Following the very openly hostile attitude of the Trump administration, they kind of imagined or hoped that the Biden administration would be owning immigration, painting a more humane sort of climate for immigrants. And, instead, what they say is that Gov. Abbott and others in his camp are kind of setting the terms of this debate. And Democrats are sort of caught between a need to say ‘yes, we believe in border security like Republicans do, but we also believe in the humanity [of migrants],’ without necessarily accomplishing either. | https://gothamist.com/news/the-debate-over-us-border-security-shifts-to-manhattan | 2022-08-14T21:08:36Z | https://gothamist.com/news/the-debate-over-us-border-security-shifts-to-manhattan | true | 1 |

By Izunna Okafor, Awka
Anambra State Government has reassured of stiffer punishments for rapists and child traffickers and human rights abusers in the state, as one of the strategies to ending rape and other related crimes in the state.
Mrs. Obinabo who recently intervened in cases of some victims of sexual defilement, also condemned such dastardly act, and stated that the government of Professor Chukwuma Soludo is out to prosecute people found guilty of rape and child defilement charges.
She enjoined parents, guardians and everyone to put all hands on deck to achieve a liveable and prosperous Anambra state, where rights of women and children will be protected.
Recall that the victims, who are eight, fourteen and fifteen years of age, were sexually abused at Ifitedunu, Agulu and Ozubulu respectively.
The eight-year-old victim, a native of Ifitedunu in Dunkofia Local Government Area of the state, informed the Commissioner that she was sexually abused by her guardian, one Victor Gbajie.
The victim, who was brought by her grandmother, Mrs. Christiana Akpu, amid tears, is currently receiving treatment at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka, following complications as a result of the rape incident, which medical report said has affected her kidney.
Meanwhile the fourteen-year-old victim, who hails from Abia State, but resident in Nneogidi village, Agulu, Anaocha Local Government Area, was brutally raped when she went to make sales for her mother.
According to her, the man who raped her and who also stays in the neighborhood, requested for ‘‘akara,’’ but she was shocked at how things turned out when she went to deliver the ‘‘akara’’.
In tears, she recalled that despite her cry for help, no one was able to come to her aid because of noise from a generator in the compound where she was raped.
Same was the story of the fifteen-year-old girl from Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area, who was allegedly raped by one Oluchukwu Obi, who is said to be in his forties.
It was alleged that the suspect, who was said to be a tenant in Ngozi Nwanya’s compound in Ozubulu, forcefully had carnal knowledge of the girl when she went to deliver noodles he ordered.
After listening to the stories of the victims, whom she had rescued, the Commissioner encouraged everyone to be vigilant and always report such incidents to Anambra State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare for immediate action.
Although the suspects have currently in police custody, the women and social welfare Commissioner has mandated that the cases be charged to the Children and Special Offences Court in Awka for immediate commencement of hearing. | https://247ureports.com/2022/08/anambra-govt-rescues-3-rape-victims-reassures-protection-of-child-rights/ | 2022-08-14T21:23:09Z | https://247ureports.com/2022/08/anambra-govt-rescues-3-rape-victims-reassures-protection-of-child-rights/ | true | 1 |

What to know about the week ahead
The Buffalo Niagara job market has settled into a slow-but-steady growth pattern, in spite of worries that the economy is slowing.
We'll find out this week if the sluggish hiring continued into July when the state Labor Department releases its latest job numbers on Thursday.
Hiring has slowed markedly over the past three months as prices have spiked and interest rates have risen. Those headwinds still exist, as does a tight labor market that has made it difficult for many companies to fill their open positions.
Release of stadium renderings close: The new stadium renderings that Bills fans are eagerly awaiting should be out soon, according to Ron Raccuia, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Pegula Sports and Entertainment.
People are also reading…
He said last Monday on WGR 550 sports radio that the Bills are inching closer to the initial release of the renderings for the new Orchard Park facility. It could mean that this week fans will get their first look at what the $1.4 billion stadium and its amenities will entail.
Plans for the new 1.35-million-square-foot facility – designed by architectural firm Populous – call for a 60,000-seat stadium, which is about 10,000 less seats than in the current Highmark Stadium, to be completed by the 2026 season.
Back for more: Amazon.com is returning to the Hamburg Industrial Development Agency on Wednesday morning, seeking a two-year extension of its sales-tax break on its new – but still empty – distribution center, located on 60 acres in the Lake Erie Commerce Center.
The Seattle-based e-commerce company is asking for the tax break to be extended until February 2024, one month before the deadline for it to have hired 75 full-time equivalent employees.
Amazon said it needs more time for the "full fit-out" of the 167,815-square-foot building, and wants to "avoid having to go back to the board one year from now."
"Due to various macroeconomic issues such as industry-wide supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures that have impacted not only this site but Amazon's entire network of facilities, the construction timeline for the site has been delayed," the company wrote in its application.

Five reads from Buffalo Next:
1.The local housing market is still going strong, although it has started to show signs that it's cooling down from its red-hot status of last year.
2. At Moog, a homegrown company takes off: With good-paying jobs, strong customer connections and technical expertise, Moog's operations are the type of manufacturing that the region's business recruiters are eager for more of.
3. With Covid-19 waning, tourists are returning to Niagara Falls. But international travelers still haven't come back in the same numbers, and that's leaving a big hole in the local tourism market. Inflation and fears of a slowing economy aren't helping, either.
4. Rich Products relies on innovation and new products to keep its business growing – and a good portion of those efforts are based in Buffalo.
5. The rules for would-be cannabis store operators remain murky – and that's just one of the challenges they face as the launch of a legalized marijuana marketplace approaches.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Thinking about going to the Great New York State Fair, but don't want to drive? There's another option available.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced earlier this month that direct train service will resume this summer for those looking to go to the fair. Amtrak is offering fairgoers a safe, convenient, and cost-effective mode of transportation to and from the state fair.
“Visiting the Great New York State Fair is a must-do summer activity, and we are thrilled that Amtrak will continue to make it an accessible destination,” Governor Hochul said. “Taking the train allows fairgoers to save on gas and other expenses while ensuring a safe, direct ride there. Thank you to our partners at Amtrak for working with us to bring joy to so many New Yorkers and visitors, alike.”
Anyone looking to purchase tickets can do so now at Amtrak.com or by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL. Tickets can all be purchased by using the Amtrak mobile app or at an Amtrak station ticket counter.
“The Great New York State Fair is a one-of-a-kind destination for more than a million visitors every year. The State Department of Transportation continues to invest in passenger rail because it is safe, reliable, and hassle-free," said New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez. "As the economy continues to rebound from the pandemic, making connections to the important destinations across the Empire State is vital. The fair is the premier destination for entertainment, food, and entertainment anywhere in upstate New York and I encourage New Yorkers to take advantage of this service – which drops passengers right off at the fairgrounds – later this month.”

Johnson & Johnson is pulling baby powder containing talc worldwide next year after it did the same in the U.S. and Canada amid thousands of lawsuits claiming it caused cancer.
Talc will be replaced by cornstarch, the company said.
The company has faced litigation alleging its talcum powder caused users to develop ovarian cancer, through use for feminine hygiene, or mesothelioma, a cancer that strikes the lungs and other organs.
J&J insists, and the overwhelming majority of medical research on talc indicates, that the talc baby powder is safe and doesn’t cause cancer.
However, demand for the company's baby powder fell off, and J&J removed the talc-based product in most of North America in 2020.
The company did so after it saw demand drop due to “misleading talc litigation advertising that caused global confusion and unfounded concern,” about product safety a company spokeswoman said.
J&J said the change announced late Thursday will simplify its product selection and meet evolving global trends.
Last October, J&J said a separate subsidiary it created to manage talc litigation claims had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
J&J said then that it funded the subsidiary, named LTL Management, and established a $2 billion trust to pay claims the bankruptcy court determines that it owes.
The health care giant also said last fall that it will turn its consumer health business — which sells the baby powder, Band-Aids and other products — into a separate publicly traded company. The part of the company selling prescription drugs and medical devices will keep the J&J name.
Shares of Johnson & Johnson, based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, rose slightly before the opening bell Friday. The stock has performed better than the Dow Jones Industrial Average, of which J&J is a member, for most of the year. | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/nation-world/jj-talc-baby-powder/507-266b0d7d-fd17-440d-8e4b-203c731293a2 | 2022-08-14T21:43:40Z | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/nation-world/jj-talc-baby-powder/507-266b0d7d-fd17-440d-8e4b-203c731293a2 | true | 46 |
CAIRO (AP) — A fire ripped through a packed Coptic Orthodox church during morning services in Egypt’s capital on Sunday, quickly filling it with thick black smoke and killing 41 worshippers, including at least 15 children.
Several trapped congregants jumped from upper floors of the Martyr Abu Sefein church to try to escape the intense flames, witnesses said. “Suffocation, suffocation, all of them dead,” said a distraught witness, who only gave a partial name, Abu Bishoy.
Sixteen people were injured, including four policemen involved in the rescue effort.
The cause of the blaze at the 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.
Weeping families waited outside for word about relatives who were inside the church and at nearby hospitals where the victims were taken. 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.
Witnesses said there were many children inside the four-story building, which had two day care facilities.
“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?”
A total of 15 children were killed in the fire, according to Copts United, a news website focusing on Christian news.
A list of victims obtained by The Associated Press said 20 bodies, including 10 children, were taken to the Imbaba public hospital. Three were siblings, twins aged 5 and a 3-year-old, it said. The church bishop, Abdul Masih Bakhit, was also among the dead at the hospital morgue.
Twenty-one bodies were taken to other hospitals.
Mousa Ibrahim, a spokesman for the Coptic Orthodox Church, told the AP that 5-year-old triplets, their mother, grandmother and an aunt were among those killed.
Witness Emad Hanna said a church worker managed to get some children out of the church day care facilities.
“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,” Hanna said.
“We found the children,” some dead, some alive, he added.
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.
The church is located in a narrow street in one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in Cairo. Sunday is the first working day of the week, and traffic jams clog the streets in Imbama and surrounding areas in the morning.
Some relatives criticized what they said were delays in the arrival of ambulances and firefighters. “They came after people died. … They came after the church burned down,” shouted one woman standing outside the smoldering church.
Health Minister Khaled Abdel-Ghafar countered that the first ambulance arrived at the site two minutes after the fire was reported.
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 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 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.”
Abdel-Ghafar, the health minister, said in a statement that two of the injured were discharged from a hospital while the others were still being treated.
The Interior Ministry said it received a report of the fire at 9 a.m. local time, and first responders found that the blaze had broken out in an air conditioner on 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. He said most victims died of smoke inhalation.
By Sunday afternoon, emergency services said they managed to put out the blaze and the prime minister and other senior government officials arrived to inspect the site. Premier Mustafa Madbouly said surviving victims and families of the dead would receive payments as compensation and that the government would rebuild the church.
By late afternoon, caskets carrying the dead were transferred in ambulances for pre-burial prayers at two churches in the nearby Waraq neighborhood, as weeping women lined their path. Hundreds of mourners gathered at the churches for the funerals, before taking the bodies for burial in nearby cemeteries.
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. | https://www.wboy.com/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/officials-fire-at-coptic-church-in-cairo-kills-41-hurts-14/ | 2022-08-14T21:51:07Z | https://www.wboy.com/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/officials-fire-at-coptic-church-in-cairo-kills-41-hurts-14/ | false | 59 |
Red Arrows drama as pilot sacked over ‘affair’ and second resigns over toxic culture
THE Red Arrows are in freefall after a pilot was sacked over an alleged affair and a second resigned in disgust at the team’s toxic culture.
Members of the RAF Aerobatic Team are said to “hate each other” in the unit’s worst morale crisis since it was formed in 1964.
It also follows the shock departure of a third ace for family reasons in January.
A lack of trained pilots meant commanders had to axe some of its well-known formations, such as the Diamond Nine, days before their first airshow.
The skeleton team of seven still managed to wow crowds.
Emergency reserves were drafted in for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee flypast in June.
But it was too late to train pilots for stunts at more than 60 shows across Britain, Denmark, France and Bahrain.
A former pilot told The Sun: “This is a disaster for the RAF. The Red Arrows are their public face and the public love them but they have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.
“That’s why the RAF have tried so hard to keep a lid on this. There is something really rotten in this team. It should be the highlight of pilots’ careers to fly for the Red Arrows but they have lost three this year. The hierarchy has to ask itself why?
“There are good people there who are trying to fix it but it is an unhappy place.”
Most read in The Scottish Sun
The Arrows normally consist of nine pilots, Red 1 to Red 9, their supervisor Red 10, a commanding officer and ground crew.
Red 8, Flt Lt Damon “Damo” Green, left for personal reasons in January and was replaced by Sqn Ldr Jon Bond.
In April, Red 5, Sqn Ldr Nick Critchell, 36, confronted Red 1, Tom Bould, 41, over a “toxic culture” at training in Croatia and Greece.
Critchell is said to have resigned in disgust. The RAF said he left “for personal reasons to embark on a different career opportunity”.
Days later, Flt Lt Will Cambridge was suspended after a fellow flier complained about an alleged affair with a female colleague.
Chiefs launched an investigation into alleged unacceptable behaviour over claims his conduct with a junior trainee pilot broke rules.
In May, the Red Arrows announced only that two pilots had moved to other roles.
Air Chief Marshal Mike Wigston is reportedly furious at claims of foul play.
An RAF spokesman said: “The moves were made without prejudice and are a result of both personal and professional reasons.
“We will, however, take action wherever wrongdoing is proven.” | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/9305225/the-red-arrows-toxic-culture-pilot-sacked/ | 2022-08-14T21:51:50Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/9305225/the-red-arrows-toxic-culture-pilot-sacked/ | true | 4 |

Fantasia Brings Her Signature Vocal Style to Wolf Trap
Grammy winner Fantasia performs at Wolf Trap on August 19. Her new book is co-authored with her husband businessman Kendall Taylor “No Crown in the Castle"
Fantasia is a multi-talented entertainer. From winning the third season of “American Idol” to concert tours to portraying Celie in Broadway’s “The Color Purple,” fans have always embraced Fantasia’s talent. The Grammy-winning singer brings her tour to Wolf Trap in Vienna, Va., on Friday, August 19. Her opening act is singer Leela James.
Like so many artists, the pandemic created space for Fantasia to reflect. Her time for introspection began long before COVID-19, resulting in a refocused Fantasia.
“It was all about me taking control of my career,” Fantasia said when speaking about feeling like she was losing her first love, which is music. “People see the gifts. You can either find someone to protect the gift or prostitute the gift.”
When Fantasia comes to Wolf Trap, she will share her gift of music with her hits and perhaps a few songs from “The Color Purple” movie that she recently wrapped up filming in Georgia. This movie of the Broadway version of the book comes to theaters in 2023. When Fantasia was in the original Broadway production, she admitted it took a lot out of her and she was done with the role of Celie. The film features a stellar cast of award-nominated and winning actors that includes Taraji P. Henson, Lou Gossett, Jr., Coleman Domingo, Aunjanue Ellis, David Alan Grier, Danielle Brooks, Corey Hawkins, Halle Bailey, and H.E.R. For Fantasia, there is the difference between the character Celie she played 14 years ago and portraying Celie now. Fantasia hopes young Black women can learn from this latest interpretation of Celie.
“At first, I was not going to do it,” Fantasia said, explaining her hesitation. “There were a lot of things she (Celie) and I relate to. A lot of stuff I let go a long time ago came up.”
One of the most significant changes in Fantasia’s life happened in 2015 with her marriage to businessman Kendall Taylor. Last year, the couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Keziah joining Fantasia’s children daughter Zion, son Dallas and Taylor’s son Treyshaun.
Fantasia and Taylor also birthed the book “No Crown in the Castle: Building a Strong Relationship and a Harmonious Life.” The book shares how the couple built their relationship. They met after Fantasia began working on herself upon finishing her second Broadway show “After Midnight.” She began fasting, focusing on loving herself more, writing what she wanted in life on index cards, then posting them around her New York apartment. Then she met Taylor
“My husband is my best friend. We call each other king and queen,” Fantasia said. “We came up with ‘Taylor Talks’ during COVID, which turned into 15-second video posts as caregiving for marriages. We were then approached to do a book.”
Whatever it takes, singer, actress, author, producer, mother and wife, Fantasia pulls it all together for a fulfilling life. “No Crown in the Castle: Building a Strong Relationship and a Harmonious Life” by Kendall and Fantasia Taylor is available from your favorite bookseller.

Long touted for their far-reaching health, cultural, environmental and social benefits, Australia’s native foods industry is on the precipice of a boom, but as markets finally wake up to the produce’s potential another global factor is increasingly cause for concern.
While once overlooked by mainstream industries, native foods and ingredients are now high in demand with suppliers struggling to keep up with demands.
The estimated value of the industry in 2019 was approximately $20 million, excluding macadamia which alone has carved out a $200m market.
But as the booming native food scene flourishes, the lands and waters it has thrived on for thousands of years are being put under pressure by climate change.
The recent State of the Environment report established Indigenous knowledge and culture will be affected by rising temperatures and changing climate patterns.
Wuthathi and Meriam co-chief author Terri Janke said natural disasters and rising sea levels would be among the many ways Indigenous communities would feel the brunt of climate change.
“There’s no doubt about it that climate change will impact Indigenous people disproportionately,” she said.
“It’s already happening with rising sea levels in the Torres Strait, the changes of water coming in through in Arnhem Land and Kakadu.
“When the climate changes, so does the traditional knowledge and the Indigenous adaptation towards the solution.”
However, climate change has also begun to impact the way native foods businesses and nurseries grow and harvest their foods.
Bininj founder of Kakadu Kitchen in Darwin, Ben Tyler said he worried most about how climate change would impact the native foods industry.
“The creeks and billabongs where we collect our water lilies on my mum’s country, it’s all beautiful wetland country which is a powerhouse of bush tucker,” he said.
“But when we get to the year 2030, scientists say that the sea will rise and it will accelerate.
“So maybe within five or ten years from the year 2030 that whole area of Kakadu will be under sea water and we’ll be fishing for sea turtle instead of freshwater turtle.”
Thankfully, many native food nurseries and corporations have begun taking proactive steps to prevent climate change from harming the native food industry.
Wandoon Estate Aboriginal Corporation is in the process of establishing its own Wurundjeri bush food garden and orchard on their site Coranderrk before setting up their own local ‘supermarket’.
Wandoon Estate Aboriginal Corporation chairman and Elder Dave Wandin said warnings about the impact of climate change started with his father, who told him to beware of its impacts.
“Climate change has been the driver here,” he said.
“My father told me this back in the mid-1990s, he said ‘son learn all you can about your culture because one day you are going to be looking after this land’.
“And people are going to be coming and asking you, how can we survive in the climate that is coming.
“I laughed when he said that to me.”
Now, Mr Wandin has understood the advice his father gave him and is committed to making sure his father’s Country is protected.
“We’ve already accepted that climate change is coming and so we’ve done some very careful, what we call, reading of Country to work out what will grow where without exhausting the nutrients in the ground,” he said.
“Modern technologies such as using solar power, are some of the best materials to build out our structure.
“There are also certain areas where we won’t be able to grow bush foods so we will dedicate that to biodiversity preservation.
“The reality is by giving some of your land to biodiversity and conservation can actually increase the productivity, even though you have less land to do it on.”
Nalderun, an Aboriginal agricultural services organisation look at climate change as part of who they are.
An educational based organisation, Nalderun aim to educate the future generation about Indigenous native foods and Country.
Executive officer, Kathryn Coff said they aim to teach their younger students about climate change so it is part of their worldview.
“We talk about our relationship with it (climate change) like we are part of it,” she said.
“So we believe that everything we do now has complete impact on how we do Country.
“We should be role modelling how we should be on Country and we should be talking about it.”
Black Duck Foods in Mallacoota Victoria have found ways to combat climate change so their native produce will not be affected.
General manager Bram Mason said Black Duck used traditional methods to resist the changing climate.
“Traditional methods sort of work with the changing climate,” he said.
“We do manage the above ground vegetation to make sure that it’s vigorous and it’s in a healthy state so if a wildfire does go through, it will survive that.
“If anything, because of the methods we use the intensity of a wildfire would actually drop quite significantly once it hits the areas we are managing because they are managed for a biodiverse agriculture system.
Biodiversity seems to be a common thread as Mr Mason said it was what keeps their plant and nutrient systems healthy.
“Because we’re keeping the system diverse and healthy it can react and survive and be tolerant to changing temperatures,” he said.
Biodiversity and Environment Science chairman Stephen van Leeuwen said it was yet to be seen how stakeholders would respond to pressures placed on Indigenous ecosystems and people.
“It will impact on those culturally significant species, particularly the bush tucker, bush foods and bush meats and the availability of those to Traditional Owners,” he said.
“Indigenous Australians, particularly those in remote, isolated areas are going to be heavily impacted by higher temperatures and so forth.
“But economically, they’re at the poorer end of society so they have the least ability to respond and to adapt to these changes and challenges.”
Mr van Leeuwen said the best chance to protect the native foods industry was for traditional knowledge and western science to work together. | https://www.nit.com.au/how-climate-change-is-reshaping-australias-native-food-industry/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-climate-change-is-reshaping-australias-native-food-industry | 2022-08-14T22:11:43Z | https://www.nit.com.au/how-climate-change-is-reshaping-australias-native-food-industry/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-climate-change-is-reshaping-australias-native-food-industry | true | 1 |
While Attacking GOP Opponent for 'Special Interests' Ties, Look What Whitmer Was Getting from Billionaires and Celebrities
Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s campaign has raked in donations from billionaires and Hollywood celebrities despite the fundraising off her Trump-endorsed opponent’s ties to “special interests,” according to state records reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Michigan Democrat’s campaign has received over $1 million from billionaires and almost $48,000 from Hollywood celebrities since 2021, state campaign finance disclosures show. At the same time, the governor’s re-election campaign has criticized Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon for her ties to “special interests” and former Education Secretary and billionaire Betsy DeVos.
“Special interests are continuing to line up behind Tudor Dixon, including former Gov. John Engler and billionaire Betsy DeVos,” Whitmer’s campaign wrote in a July 8 email to voters. “Party insiders and special interests are going full steam ahead with Tudor Dixon, their newly handpicked candidate who has proposed a radical agenda that would take Michigan backwards.”
Billionaires who shelled out $250,000 for Whitmer’s campaign in 2021 include Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, oil company heiress Stacy H. Schusterman and siblings Patricia Stryker and Ronda Stryker — the grandchildren of inventor Homer Stryker. Some other billionaires who have donated to Whitmer’s campaign include former Enron executive John Arnold, who gave $7,150 in April 2022, and Open Society Foundations Founder George Soros, who gave $25,000 in 2021.
Jonathan Soros, the investment banker and son of George Soros, has donated $12,150 to Whitmer’s campaign since 2018. His wife Jennifer Allan Soros has donated $14,300 since 2018.
“Jaws” Director Stephen Spielberg donated $7,150 in March to Whitmer’s campaign, and “Princess Bride” Director Rob Reiner donated $2,500 that month. Actress Kate Capshaw, known for her role in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” donated $7,150 in March.
Tom Ford, the fashion designer and filmmaker, donated $7,500 to Whitmer’s campaign in February 2022. Tom Rothman, the CEO of entertainment conglomerate Sony Pictures, gave the governor’s campaign $5,000 back in 2021.
“I kind of think hypocrisy is a misdemeanor these days in politics,” Fred Wszolek, a Republican strategist in Michigan, told the DCNF. “This is the opening act of Whitmer for president. That’s what all this demagoguery is about. To build a fundraising list for president.”
Whitmer, who assumed office in 2019 and ran unopposed in 2022, has faced notable backlash from Republicans for her state’s strict COVID-19 restrictions, which she repeatedly failed to abide by. Dixon, who worked for Michigan steel companies and was a radio host, won the Republican primary in August after receiving former President Donald Trump’s endorsement.
“With over $15 million in attack ads out against us, we have to be ready to fight back against whatever Tudor Dixon and her special interest backers throw at us,” Whitmer’s campaign also wrote to voters in a Tuesday email. “That’s why we’re coming to you today.”
By “special interests,” Whitmer’s campaign is alluding to Dixon’s campaign contributions from DeVos and her family, Home Depot Co-Founder and billionaire Bernard Marcus, ULINE Corporation CEO and billionaire Richard Uihlein — as well as two pro-Dixon super PACs called Michigan Families United and Michigan Strong — according to a Republican operative familiar with the situation.
The DeVos family has donated $71,500 to Dixon’s campaign since May 2022. The DeVos family also gave $875,000 since June to Michigan Families United, which Uihlein gave $250,000 to in July. In May 2022, Marcus gave $100,000 to Michigan Strong, which along with Michigan Families United has spent $2.24 million supporting Dixon through ad buys, video production and media consulting, Bridge Michigan reported in July.
Whitmer has faced scrutiny from Republicans for her campaign taking individual contributions from wealthy left-wing donors allegedly above the $7,150 limit. Michigan Freedom Fund, a conservative nonprofit, filed a campaign finance complaint in September 2021 against ten of Whitmer’s campaign donors, including Pritzker, the Strykers and Schusterman.
Whitmer’s campaign sent $3.5 million to the Michigan Democratic Party in January after raising $2.5 million more than allowed under the legal limit, the Detroit News reported.
“Gretchen Whitmer literally took millions in illegal contributions over the campaign finance limits in Michigan and she is literally funded by anti-American, pro-communism Billionaires like George Soros,” Dixon told the DCNF. “Gretchen Whitmer a dishonest career politician who is always guilty of everything she accuses other people of.”
Michigan’s gubernatorial election will take place in November.
Whitmer’s campaign did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

MILAN (AP) — Former Juventus forward Paulo Dybala hit the post but couldn’t score in his Roma debut as José Mourinho’s team opened its Serie A campaign with a 1-0 win at Salernitana on Sunday.
Bryan Cristante scored the only goal of the match in the 33rd minute.
Dybala was Roma’s marquee signing of the offseason, moving to the capital after his contract expired at Juventus.
Mourinho steered Roma to the Europa Conference League title last season, the club’s first trophy in 14 years. Having finished sixth in Serie A it will be targeting a top-four finish and a Champions League spot but it is also seen as dark horse for the title — despite Mourinho downplaying his team's chances.
Dybala almost opened his Roma account in the 23rd minute as he curled a free kick over the wall but it also sailed narrowly over the bar.
Roma took the lead 10 minutes later. A Tammy Abraham attempt was charged down but the ball came to Cristante on the edge of the box and he fired through a crowd of bodies into the far bottom corner.
Dybala could have doubled Roma’s lead on the stroke of halftime as he ran onto a through ball from the ever-dangerous Nicolò Zaniolo but his effort came off the right post.
The 28-year-old Argentina international again went close in the second half, with an angled drive just past the right post.
Dybala almost had an assist late on as he rolled the ball across to fellow new signing Georginio Wijnaldum to score, but the goal was ruled out for offside.
EARLY DISMISSAL
Lazio goalkeeper Luís Maximiano was sent off less than six minutes into his Serie A debut but the capital club managed to win 2-1 against Bologna, which was also reduced to 10 men.
Maximiano, who joined from Granada in the offseason, rushed to the edge of the penalty area to grab the ball and, after reviewing the incident on the pitchside monitor, the referee adjudged that Maximiano had handled the ball outside the area and the Portuguese goalkeeper was shown a straight red card.
Lazio nevertheless almost took the lead shortly after when Ciro Immobile burst forward but his angled effort was deflected just past the far post.
Bologna broke the deadlock in the 38th minute. Alessio Romagnoli put his team in trouble with a terrible headed clearance and teammate Mattia Zaccagni tried to hoof it clear but instead kicked opposing forward Nicola Sansone.
Marko Arnautović struck the resulting penalty into the top right corner.
However, the first half ended with the teams in numerical parity after Bologna defender Adama Soumaoro was sent off in stoppage time following a second yellow card, just minutes after his first.
Lazio eventually equalized in the 68th. Bologna goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski managed to parry Manuel Lazzari’s effort but the ball ricocheted in off defender Lorenzo De Silvestri for an own goal.
The turnaround was complete 11 minutes later as Sergej Milinković-Savić threaded a ball through for Immobile to fire between Skorupski’s legs.
Lazio’s city rival, Roma, was playing later and José Mourinho’s team will be looking to make a show of intent against Salernitana in its opening match of the season.
ANOTHER RADU HOWLER
Another horrendous error from goalkeeper Ionuț Radu saw Cremonese lose 3-2 at Fiorentina in a disappointing return to Serie A.
Cremonese had played the entire second half with 10 men after midfielder Gonzalo Escalante was sent off for a two-footed tackle on Christian Kouamé.
But it managed to fight back to 2-2 when substitute Cristian Buonaiuto leveled direct from a corner kick in the second half, just three minutes after coming off the bench.
Radu had pulled off a number of magnificent saves but was at fault for the stoppage-time winner as he managed to catch Rolando Mandragora’s cross but carried it back into his own net.
Radu is on loan from Inter Milan and it was his error in a match against Bologna that is widely perceived to have cost the Nerazzurri the title.
It was Cremonese’s first match back in the top flight since 1996.
Also, Spezia beat Empoli 1-0.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The booing has begun, and it's only the preseason. The Cleveland Browns expect it to increase and intensify over the months ahead.
Deshaun Watson is a target, and so are his teammates.
As they prepare for Watson to be suspended by the NFL for violating its personal conduct policy, the Browns know they're probably going to be subjected to rougher and rowdier treatment from fans during road games this season.
Watson has made them appear villainous.
"It seems like more than ever, ‘Cleveland against the world,’” All-Pro guard Joel Bitonio said Sunday, repeating a popular phrase adopted in a city that has long felt like an underdog. “So we’ll be ready for it.”
Watson was booed throughout his exhibition debut on Friday night in Jacksonville. There were some in the crowd at TIAA Bank Stadium who directed profane chants at the controversial quarterback accused of sexual misconduct by two dozen women during massage therapy appointments in Texas.
The three-time Pro Bowler for Houston is facing a possible year-long ban and significant fine from the league, which appealed a six-game suspension handed down by independent arbitrator Sue L. Robinson.
Watson's playing status rests with Peter C. Harvey, appointed by Commissioner Roger Goodell to handle the appeal. Harvey's decision could come any time or there could be a settlement between the NFL and NFL Players Association.
Watson, who hasn't spoken to reporters since June 14, apologized for the first time before Friday's game in an interview with the team's preseason TV crew.
Bitonio was one of several starters who didn't play against the Jaguars. But while he watched from the sideline, Bitonio, who has seen plenty in his eight seasons with Cleveland, heard the noise.
It was a preview of how this season will be.
Watson showed some rust and maybe jitters in his first game in nearly 600 days — he sat out last season — by completing just 1 of 5 passes for 7 yards in three series. The shaky performance prompted questions about whether Watson was rattled by his unresolved situation and uncertain future.
“I haven’t talked to him about that,” Bitonio said. “I’m sure not playing football in however long it’s been is probably a bigger concern. But the crowd was loud for a preseason game in Jacksonville. They got pretty loud down there.”
The stadium was only half-full, so imagine what it will be like in Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, Cleveland's AFC North stops where the Browns were already the enemy before they traded for Watson under center.
“I’m sure every stadium we go, we’ll be booed,” Bitonio said. “I don’t know if it will get worse. I think people get tired of booing, you know? But I’m sure every time he goes out there, there’ll be some sort of boo to start the game and we’ll kind of go from there.”
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski doesn't have any plans to address what his team could be facing down the road — and on the road.
“It’s our job to focus on the things that are important in those game settings," he said. "We'd be doing ourselves a disservice if we focused on anything that people were saying about us before the game, during the game, after the game, those type of things.”
For the first time in camp on Sunday, Jacoby Brissett, who will start during Watson's suspension, took the majority of snaps with Cleveland's first-team offense. Brissett didn't play against the Jaguars and Stefanski said he'll also sit out Sunday's home game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Stefanski said he didn't know if it would be difficult for Watson to adjust to getting less work with the starters.
“Obviously, we know he is going to be unavailable starting Week 1,” Stefanski said. "This has been our plan. I think he understands what we are doing. He's on board.”
NOTES: Bitonio finds it interesting that former Browns C JC Tretter remains a free agent despite his excellent track record. The Browns may consider re-signing Tretter after C Nick Harris suffered a knee injury Friday that will likely cost him the season. “His resume speaks for itself, the time he put in with the Browns,” said Bitonio, who wonders if Tretter's work as NFLPA president is hurting him. “Maybe some of the owners don’t appreciate what he brings to the table on certain topics where he’s trying to protect player safety and things of that nature,” Bitonio said. “It seems a little suspicious to me.” ... All-Pro DE Myles Garrett was excused from practice to deal with a personal matter.

Well over a year after their very tumultuous breakup, Bachelor alums Peter Weber and Kelley Flanagan are sparking reconciliation rumors.
Since it's been a while, let's recap: During the pilot's season of The Bachelor, Flanagan was cut during week six. Weber ended up proposing to Hannah Ann Sluss at the end of his season, then called off the engagement and dated runner-up Madison Prewett for a minute. It wasn't until the 2020 Super Bowl that Weber and Flanagan reconnected and began dating. Like with Sluss and Prewett, the relationship didn't last.
“Love is a funny thing. It can make you feel on top of the world and it can make you feel a pain you wish didn’t exist. I’m here to share that Kelley and I have decided to go our separate ways,” Peter Weber wrote on Instagram in December 2020, announcing their split. “While our relationship was filled with countless beautiful memories, our relationship simply didn’t work out in the end.”
But that wasn't the end of it. After a brief attempt at reconciliation in February 2021 things got messier when Flanagan told Weber to “get the hell out of my life” and went public about their breakup. “It ended really badly,” she said on the Chicks in the Office podcast in May 2021, per People. “I essentially went off on him. I ended up leaving New York and going to one of my girlfriend's houses and hanging out with her. He texted me; I didn't respond and then found some news out that I wasn't happy about." That's when she told him to “lose my number.”
Weber didn't like that interview. He said some things, she said some more things and that seemed to be the end of it… Until now. On August 10, the exes were spotted at a Chicago Cubs game on August 10, per Us Weekly, and it may not have been their first reunion. Around the same time this report surfaced, the Instagram @bachelornation.scoop shared another photo of the pair, as well as an airport video that was reportedly captured “two weeks ago.” | https://www.glamour.com/story/peter-weber-and-kelley-flanagan-spotted-together | 2022-08-14T23:15:54Z | https://www.glamour.com/story/peter-weber-and-kelley-flanagan-spotted-together | false | 1 |
Years ago, a Brazilian boy visiting Disney strayed from the group, felt lost and asked a nearby Mickey for help. Not the real Mickey, of course—will there be one?—but an employee legally dressed as Mickey. For the little Brazilian, who better to help him than Mickey, the tormentor of the Metralha Brothers? But the prank Mickey ignored him. The boy insisted, and Mickey sent him for a walk. Indignant, our little hero gave him a peck on the shin that made the pseudo-rat squeal on one foot. Result: the boy ended up at the Disney police station, accused of causing a disturbance.
As of 2024, this will no longer be possible. This year, Mickey will no longer be able to rule and rule Disney — because it will fall into the public domain. Under US intellectual property law, fictional characters cease to be the exclusive property of their creators after 95 years of creation.
Hence the skinny-legged Mickey who debuted in the 1928 cartoon “Steamboat Willie” will fall into the square. And, two or three years later, the shortest and most compact Mickey we know, with the diagonal ears and the four-finger glove, designed by Ub Iwerks, will also be of the world.
Ub Iwerks? Like this? Wasn’t it Walt Disney who drew Mickey? No, it never was. Walt also never drew Donald, Carl Barks’ immortal creation, or any of the other characters. For a long time, this was a secret, because Walt never gave them credit in the movies and comics — which he only started to do when the artists went to court to seek their rights.
It is possible that much of the Disney universe actually sprang from Walt’s head. And it is known that while he lived (1901-66) nothing left his studio without his approval.
But Walt sincerely believed in Snow White. It took him to die for Disney to become the cold, mammoth corporation it is today.

British authorities have quashed plans to prosecute protesters who attended a vigil for a murdered woman in breach of pandemic lockdown rules — a killing, and a response, that ignited a storm of criticism of the London police force and its attitude toward women’s safety.
The Crown Prosecution Service said overnight that cases against six people over the March 2021 vigil in memory of Sarah Everard had been dropped because “our legal test for a prosecution was not met.”
The six had faced possible fines of up to NZ$18,750 for breaking Covid-19 restrictions in place at the time.
Everard, 33, was abducted, raped and killed as she walked home from a friend’s house in London. Her killer, Wayne Couzens, was a serving Metropolitan Police officer. He pleaded guilty to murder and is serving life in prison with no chance of parole.
Public anger at the police force for harbouring a killer in its ranks was compounded by what many saw as heavy-handed policing of the subsequent vigil. Police banned the gathering because it breached coronavirus restrictions, but hundreds gathered anyway on Clapham Common, near where Everard was abducted. Prince William’s wife Kate was among those who attended and left flowers.
Scuffles broke out when police officers tried to break up the vigil after several hours.
Organisers took the police force to court, and in February a judge ruled that police acted unlawfully when they used coronavirus restrictions to ban the vigil.
Everard’s murder was one of a string of killings in London that prompted calls for more protection for women and girls. Allegations of misogyny and bungled investigations undermined confidence in the police and forced Metropolitan Police chief Cressida Dick to step down in February.
Pippa Woodrow, a lawyer for some of the defendants, said she was delighted “that this ordeal is over and that the (prosecution service) has recognised they should never have been prosecuted."
“It is to be hoped that the Met will now turn its focus and resources towards protecting women from violence rather than seeking to silence those who speak up against it, and towards rebuilding the trust damaged by their decisions in this case,” Woodrow told The Observer newspaper. | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/08/15/uk-drops-prosecution-of-protesters-over-slain-womans-vigil/ | 2022-08-14T23:17:51Z | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/08/15/uk-drops-prosecution-of-protesters-over-slain-womans-vigil/ | true | 20 |

Kellen Mond throws 2 TDs, Vikings drop preseason opener to Raiders
After sitting out his rookie season, Kellen Mond made the most of his opportunity on Saturday afternoon, throwing a pair of touchdowns in the Minnesota Vikings' 26-20 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Mond came into the game midway through the second quarter and looked shaky on his opening drive. After missing Bisi Johnson and Trishton Jackson for a pair of potential touchdowns, Mond appeared to get his legs underneath him after halftime, throwing a two-yard touchdown to Albert Wilson in the third quarter.
Mond's confidence grew in the fourth quarter as he went 5-for-5 for 71 yards before finding Wilson for his second touchdown of the day.
It was a solid afternoon overall for the second-year quarterback, who finished with 119 yards and two touchdowns through the air. While Mond had something to prove, it was Sean Mannion who drew the start, albeit without several familiar faces.
Kirk Cousins was ruled out after testing positive for COVID-19 on Friday afternoon, but several starters including Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen were on the sidelines for the preseason opener.
Mannion did have the benefit playing behind the Vikings' starting offensive line, but it didn't provide outstanding results. Mannion was sacked on the opening drive after Jesse Davis appeared to miss a block on Malcolm Koonce, but the veteran rebounded to lead Minnesota on a field goal drive on his second possession.

Mannion finished 8-for-12 for 66 yards, but didn't seem to move the offense as well as Mond did.
While the two quarterbacks made their bids to climb the depth chart, the Vikings' running backs also stood out. Kene Nwangwu and Ty Chandler showed their explosiveness, combining for 91 yards on 12 carries and establishing Minnesota's presence on the ground.
On the other side of the ball, defensive tackle Harrison Phillips recorded a sack on the opening drive and T.Y. McGill followed suit, picking up a pair of sacks in the second half.
Unfortunately, the Vikings' defense bent a little too much with Jarrett Stidham leading the Raiders to a pair of scores on their first two drives -- including a four-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter.
Although the Vikings got more comfortable as the game went on, they also committed eight penalties for 71 yards leading them to their first loss of the preseason.
Minnesota will look to tighten things up when they host the San Francisco 49ers next Saturday. | https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/vikings/kellen-mond-throws-2-tds-vikings-drop-preseason-opener-to-raiders | 2022-08-14T23:23:19Z | https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/vikings/kellen-mond-throws-2-tds-vikings-drop-preseason-opener-to-raiders | false | 1 |
‘I’m speechless’: Organization remodels home for 2 brothers who lost their parents
KATY, Texas (KPRC) – Two brothers in Texas who lost their parents and grandparents have a roof over their heads thanks to volunteers.
The last few years have been tough for 22-year-old Jaylan Gray and 12-year-old Julian after both of their parents and their grandfather died.
Gray said he had promised his mother he would take care of Julian.
“[I] try my best to keep him in check, make sure he doesn’t get in trouble, and make sure he’s loved,” Gray said.
The brothers’ previous home had been severely damaged in 2017 by Hurricane Harvey and then again in the 2021 freeze.
“At one point, I was just done with the house. I was ready to sell it at one point. It was too much weight on my shoulders. I couldn’t do it,” Gray said.
Disaster rebuild organization Katy Responds and countless volunteers stepped in to help the two.
Executive Director Ron Peters said the organization remodeled it in three months.
“There’s just no way they could’ve lived in it and probably would’ve never fixed it,” Peters said.
The home was also furnished by Lakewood Church, a megachurch located in Houston.
Gray and Julian got a tour of their newly renovated home on Friday.
“I love it,” Gray said. “I’m speechless, way more than we asked for. Completely grateful.”
Peters said that the organization’s mission is to help provide people with a safe place to live and not have to worry about their home.
“This is what we do. It’s hard work. It’s non-profit work, but it’s why we do it, is for those guys,” he said.
Gray and Julian are now ready to start a new chapter in their lives.
“It makes me so happy to see that there’s good people. I just like the way we’ve been treated. I didn’t think anything good would happen,” Julian said.
Katy Responds was created in 2018 and has worked on about 160 homes.

(Corrects to show she will be taken off life support, not that she has been)
(Reuters) - American actor Anne Heche will be taken off life support on Sunday, nine days after suffering severe injuries in a fiery car crash, as a compatible person was found to receive her donated organs, a spokesperson said.
Heche, 53, had been legally dead since Friday, though still with a heartbeat, and was kept on life support to preserve her organs so they could be donated, spokesperson Holly Baird said.
Heche's Mini Cooper sped out of control, plowed into a house and burst into flames on Aug. 5.
Heche, who starred in the movies "Donnie Brasco," "Wag The Dog" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer," struggled for decades with the fallout from a troubled childhood and was part of a groundbreaking same-sex couple in the 1990s.
Winner of a Daytime Emmy Award in 1991 for her roles as identical twin sisters in the NBC soap opera "Another World," Heche starred in the 1998 adventure comedy "Six Days Seven Nights" with Harrison Ford and played alongside Demi Moore and Cher in the HBO TV movie "If These Walls Could Talk."
She became one half of Hollywood's most famous same-sex couple at the time when she dated comedian and actress Ellen DeGeneres. Against the wishes of her studio, Heche came out publicly at the 1997 red carpet premiere for disaster flick "Volcano," taking DeGeneres along as her date.
The pair were together for more than three years before Heche ended the relationship.
In an interview with Page Six entertainment website in October 2021, Heche said she was "blacklisted" by Hollywood because of her relationship with DeGeneres. "I didn't do a studio picture for 10 years. I was fired from a $10 million picture deal and did not see the light of day in a studio picture."
In 2001, she married Coleman Laffoon, a cameraman. After the couple divorced, Heche began a long-term relationship with actor James Tupper which ended in 2018.
Anne Celeste Heche was born in Aurora, Ohio on May 25, 1969, and was the youngest of five children. At age 13, she was shocked by her father's death from AIDS and from the revelation that he had had secret gay relationships.
"He was in complete denial until the day he died," Heche told CNN's Larry King in 2001. She said in 1998 that his death taught her that the most important thing in life is to tell the truth.
Her brother Nathan died three months after their father in a car crash.
Heche said her father raped her as a child, causing her mental health struggles for decades after, including frequent fantasies that she was from another planet.
"I'm not crazy," Heche told ABC News in 2001 on the release of her book "Call Me Crazy: A Memoir."
"But it's a crazy life. I was raised in a crazy family and it took 31 years to get the crazy out of me."
Heche's mother Nancy denied her daughter's claim that she knew about the sexual abuse, calling it "lies and blasphemies" and her sister Abigail has said she believes the "memories regarding our father are untrue." She said that Anne Heche had cast doubt herself on her own memories of that time.
Later in her career, Heche starred as a senior member of the Defense Intelligence Agency in the NBC TV series "The Brave" and appeared on competition show "Dancing With The Stars" in late 2020.
Heche is survived by her two sons, Atlas and Homer.

Malaysia ex-PM Najib begins final bid to set aside 1MDB conviction
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Malaysian former Prime Minister Najib Razak starts his final attempt on Monday to set aside his conviction in a corruption case linked to the multi-billion dollar 1MDB financial scandal.
The country's highest court has scheduled hearings through Aug. 26 to hear Najib's appeal of his convictions for criminal breach of trust, abuse of power and money laundering over the alleged theft of $4.5 billion from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), a state fund he co-founded as premier in 2009.
At least six countries have launched investigations into 1MDB, a global scandal that has implicated high-level officials and major financial institutions.

Prosecutors say more than $1 billion in 1MDB funds made its way into Najib's personal accounts.
Najib, 69, who has pleaded not guilty to dozens of charges, was sentenced in July 2020 in the first of several trials to 12 years in jail and a $50 million fine for illegally receiving about $10 million from SRC International, a former 1MDB unit.
The conviction was upheld by an appeals court last year. read more
In addition to appealing that verdict, Najib is asking the Federal Court to introduce fresh evidence to nullify the trial, accusing the trial judge of a conflict of interest, documents filed ahead of Monday's hearing showed.
Najib, who was voted out in 2018, has been free on bail pending the appeal. If the verdict is upheld, he would likely begin his sentence immediately, according to a prosecutor. Malaysian law allows for a review of Federal Court decisions, but such applications are rarely successful.
The appeal comes ahead of national elections that are expected to be called before a September 2023 deadline.
An acquittal could spark a political comeback for Najib, who told Reuters last year he had not ruled out seeking re-election to parliament. read more
While he remains a popular figure and active lawmaker, Najib is barred from contesting elections unless his conviction is overturned or he receives a royal pardon.

Residents and visitors alike have the chance to see an exhibit steeped in New Zealand art history at Taupō Museum.
The Blind Woman of Taupō by legendary New Zealand artist Charles Frederick Goldie is now on display in Te Aroha o Rongoheikume, the museum's wharenui (meeting house), thanks to a loan from an anonymous benefactor.
The incredible and absorbing painting, produced in 1934, has been lent to Taupō Museum for five years.
It will sit next to portraits of Ngāti Tūwharetoa chiefs Te Werahiko (Haukino) and Rutene Te Uamairangi Rahui of Ōpepe, painted in 1908 by notable artist and Taupō identity Thomas Ryan, in an exhibit called Goldie and Ryan.

Advertise with NZME.At the unveiling on Thursday, August 11, the new display was blessed and officially opened to the public.
While it is not known who The Blind Woman of Taupō is, museum staff believe this is an alluring aspect about putting her on public display. Will someone recognise her? Was she even from Taupō?
Speaking at the event, Taupō District Council events and venues manager Steve Giles said "there aren't too many better work days than this".
"A number of years ago I had the privilege of travelling to France and walking to the Louvre, standing in a queue of people as we shuffled past the Mona Lisa. I liken that a little bit to today. We have the privilege as a team to be part of the guardianship or kaitiakitanga of the treasured Goldie taonga," he says.
Goldie's work concentrated on elderly rangatira (chiefs) with moko (tattoo), preserving the so-called "noble relics of a noble race".
In 1901, he visited Rotorua where his old friend and artist Thomas Ryan was operating ferry services. It was through Ryan's wife, Mary Wharepapa, and her Māori connections that Goldie was accepted by Māori and she helped persuade several Te Arawa and Ngāti Tūwharetoa models to sit for him.
He spent the autumn of 1907 in the Taupō region painting aged, tattooed Māori warriors. On his studio door he posted a notice, "Gone to Taupō".
The existence of Ryan's Tūwharetoa chief paintings was not known by relatives until the portraits were shown on Te Karere, a Māori television programme. The paintings were due to be auctioned at the International Art Centre in Auckland. Eraita Ann Clarke and Hinetemoa Walker of Taupō, granddaughters of Rutene Rahui, recognised him because he has a distinctive spiral moko.

Advertise with NZME.On confirming their discovery of the paintings, the auction house agreed to wait until it could find the money to purchase them. Eraita and Hinetemoa approached the Ōpepe Farm Trust for help because Rutene and his older brothers, Wiremu and Kiriwera, were the original owners of the Tauhara No. 4 Block at Ōpepe – a Māori kāinga (village) near Taupō.
There was additional special significance to the trust in that Rutene, a venerated tohunga, is buried at Ōpepe. The Ōpepe Farm Trust purchased the portraits immediately.
In 1995, the paintings were welcomed back to the district by the Ōpepe trustees and descendants of both Te Werahiko and Rutene. They were kind enough to entrust the museum with these precious taonga.
At the unveiling, Mr Giles said credit had to go to all those involved in getting Goldie's artwork together with Ryan's at Taupō Museum.
"From a museum perspective, we're hoping to help localise Goldie to our district and the team have come up with the name Goldie and Ryan. It's trying to focus on that relationship the two artists had.
"We owe a great debt of thanks to the donors. Thank you for sharing your gift with us and the community. We thank the Reid whānau for supporting the relocation of the artworks to the wharenui.

Advertise with NZME."Finally, to the team at the museum. Thank you for your mahi, your continued enthusiasm, your dedication, your aroha for the arts and your commitment to educating our community."
For conservation reasons, only one of Ryan's paintings will be displayed at a time. They will be swapped every six months.
Goldie and Ryan is now open to the public. Taupō Museum is open daily from 10am to 4.30pm. Entry is free for residents and tamariki, $5 for adults, and $3 for seniors and students.

LONDON – It's not just the economy. While inflation and recession fears weigh heavily on the minds of voters, another issue is popping up in political campaigns from the U.K. and Australia to the U.S. and beyond: the “China threat."
The two finalists vying to become Britain's next prime minister, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, clashed in a televised debate last month over who would be toughest on China.
It's a stark departure from outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s business-focused “Sinophile” approach and part of a hardening of anti-China rhetoric in many Western countries and other democracies, like Japan, that is coming out in election campaigns.
Nations for years have sought to balance promoting trade and investment with the world’s second-largest economy with concerns about China’s projection of military power, espionage and its human rights record.
The pendulum is swinging toward the latter, as evidenced in U.S., European, Japanese and Australian opposition to the threatening Chinese military drills that followed U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan last week, and growing warnings from Western intelligence agencies about Beijing's snooping and interference.
A delegation of U.S. lawmakers arrived Sunday in Taiwan to discuss reducing tensions in the Taiwan Strait and investments in semiconductors, among other topics.
That shift has made China a target for vote-seeking politicians as opinion polls show public sentiment in many democracies turning against China. Some candidates blame China for economic woes at home in addition to posing a security threat to its neighbors and the wider world.
China loomed large in Australia's election in May in which the conservatives, who ultimately lost, tried to paint the opposition as being unwilling to stand up to Beijing.
America’s growing rival on the global stage is also expected to figure in this fall's U.S. congressional races, particularly in Midwest industrial states, long after former President Donald Trump embraced a fierce anti-China posture.
Many in Europe are also rebalancing their approach to China, though that did not figure significantly in elections in France this year and in Germany in 2021.
Andreas Fulda, a University of Nottingham political scientist specializing in China, said British politicians “are more clear-eyed about China” than their European neighbors.
“The U.K. has paid close attention to what’s happening in Australia, and in many ways the debate here is well ahead of mainland Europe,” he said.
Truss, the British foreign secretary and the front-runner in the Conservative Party's leadership race, has spoken of expanding what she calls a “network of liberty” so democracies can counter China and Russia more effectively. She says she will crack down on Chinese tech companies such as the owner of TikTok, the short-video platform.
In her role as Britain's top diplomat, Truss has strongly criticized China's military moves after Pelosi's Taiwan visit, accusing Beijing of an “aggressive and wide-ranging escalation” that "threaten(s) peace and stability in the region.”
Sunak, Britain's former Treasury chief, has pledged to shutter the partially Chinese-funded Confucius Institutes that promote Chinese culture and language at U.K. universities, lead an international alliance against Chinese cyberthreats, and help British companies and universities counter Chinese spying.
“I had a sense of déjà vu having just moved over from Australia," said Ben Bland, director of the Asia-Pacific program at London's Chatham House think tank, who previously worked at the Lowy Institute in Sydney. "There’s a similar atmosphere with some politicians trying to deploy the China threat as a domestic political tool.”
Bland described a dramatic shift in how politicians talk about China in both the U.K. and Australia, from a focus on trade and business ties five years ago to viewing China “through the prism of a threat to national security and economic competitiveness.”
In the Australian election, conservatives broke from a bipartisanship tradition on critical national security issues to accuse the center-left Labor Party of being likely to appease Beijing.
The gambit came up short. Labor, whose victory ended nine years of conservative rule, denied it would shift its China policy and has called China's military drills around Taiwan “disproportionate and destabilizing.”
“This is not something that solely Australia is calling for,” Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said, adding the entire region was concerned.
A Lowy Institute survey released in June found Australians increasingly concerned about their nation’s largest trading partner. Three-quarters of respondents said it was at least somewhat likely China would become a military threat to Australia in the next 20 years, up 30 percentage points since 2018.
A Pew Research Center poll the same month found negative views of China are at or near historic highs in many of the 19 countries surveyed in North America, Europe and Asia.
Relations between London and Beijing have soured since President Xi Jinping was granted a 2015 state visit the U.K. government hoped would cement deals to give Britain a vast pool of investment and China greater access to European markets.
Johnson, who took power in 2019, always stressed that he was not a “knee-jerk Sinophobe” — but under pressure from the U.S., his government excluded Chinese firms from the U.K.'s 5G communications network. Britain also has welcomed thousands of people from Hong Kong as Beijing squeezes the freedoms in the former British colony.
The head of the MI6 intelligence agency, Richard Moore, said last month that China had overtaken terrorism as its top priority, as British spies try to understand the threats Beijing's growing assertiveness might pose.
“That feels like a very big moment, post-9/11,” Moore said.
The U.S. also is shifting intelligence resources to China.
Yet China experts say much of the rhetoric from Western politicians is just political grandstanding.
Steve Tsang, director of the China Institute at the London University School of Oriental and African Studies, said neither candidate seeking to be Britain's next prime minister has articulated a coherent policy on China. The winner is to be announced Sept. 5 after a Conservative Party vote.
“The indications are that (Sunak's) words on China policy are not based on any kind of a strategy," Tsang said. "Nor has Truss articulated a proper China strategy, despite being the current foreign secretary.”
China has pushed back against the growing hostility.
“I would like to make it clear to certain British politicians that making irresponsible remarks about China, including hyping the so-called ‘China threat,’ cannot solve one’s own problems,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said after the Sunak-Truss debate.
In the United States, both major political parties have railed against China on the campaign trail, particularly in the Midwest, where Chinese imports are blamed for a loss of manufacturing jobs.
Pennsylvania Republican Senate nominee Mehmet Oz ran thousands of TV ads this spring that mentioned China. In Ohio, Democratic Senate contender Tim Ryan declared in one ad: “It’s us vs. China.”
Polling suggests neither China, nor foreign policy in general, is a top-of-mind issue for most U.S. voters. But political strategists believe China is likely to remain a potent political issue in the November U.S. congressional election, as candidates seek to link China to America's economic challenges.
In Asia, it has been more nuanced.
Japanese voters have become more supportive of a stronger military following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the heightening tensions over Taiwan.
In the presidential vote in South Korea in March, the candidates differed on how to manage the intensifying rivalry between two important partners, China and the U.S.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who narrowly won, vowed to build a stronger alliance with the U.S., while his liberal opponent argued for a balancing act. But since taking office in May, Yoon has avoided upsetting China, an important export market.
He did not meet Pelosi when she came to South Korea from Taiwan, though he spoke to her by phone, and his government has refrained from criticizing the Chinese military moves around the self-governing island.

SAN ANTONIO – Two men in their 40s have been arrested after they allegedly broke into multiple storage units on the city’s far West Side early Saturday morning, San Antonio police said.
The incident occurred around 7:20 a.m. at a storage facility in the 2400 block of SW Loop 410.
According to police, officers arrived to find the two men burglarizing the storage units. Police said the men ran off, but were eventually caught by officers.
Investigators say at least 15 units were found to have been broken into. Police did not say what was being taken.
The 40 year old and 43-year-old man were taken into police custody.
They are charged with burglary. | https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/08/14/sapd-2-men-breaking-into-storage-units-arrested-after-police-chase/ | 2022-08-14T23:56:23Z | https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/08/14/sapd-2-men-breaking-into-storage-units-arrested-after-police-chase/ | false | null |
The director of the Ghost of Tsushima movie, Chad Stahelskystated that the film based on the homonymous game will have its respective cast with actors from the Country of the rising sun and entirely in Japanese language, so you won’t have to worry about weird locations or western people.
Stahelsky declared to Collider that, while this may scare a lot of people, Sony is supporting him with this decision, in addition to the fact that Western audiences are getting used to reading subtitles on films.
“Honestly, it’s probably the same things that would scare most people. It’s a fantasy period piece“said the director of this project. “It is made with reverence to Akira Kurosawa, who is probably among the top five biggest influences in my life when it comes to cinema. It’s an opportunity to push technology and people forward in a timeless story. It is the typical mythological story of good versus evil, find a man, see him change the world or the world changes him.
“So I think if we did this right, it would be visually stunning.”, he added Stahelsky. “It’s character-driven. She has the opportunity for a great action, a great appearance. And honestly, we would try to do it, all in character. I mean, it’s a Japanese thing about the Mongols invading Tsushima Island.”

Ghost of Tsushima film will have its Japanese cast
One of the fears that fans always have when it comes to movies based on video games is that they don’t tend to respect the characters or the theme. At least what the also director of John Wick seeks is to fully meet this objective and will have a 100% Japanese cast.
“A complete Japanese cast, in Japanese. Sony is very much in support of us on that. I have been going to Japan since I was 16 years old. I have love for the country, love for the people, love for the language. Trying to direct not only in my language but someone else’s language and culturally shift my thinking to separate that in a cool way that still appeals to a Western audience.“.

Editor’s Note: The Lehi Historical Society and Archives is proud to present the stories of its Lehi Heritage Day 2022 honorees. The story of Roy and Lois Littleford is the fifth of nine articles featuring this year’s honorees. Each couple will be celebrated at Lehi Heritage Day on Sept. 5, beginning at 2:30 p.m., in a parade, a celebration with the mayor, city council and public and a meet-and-greet. The free, city-sponsored event celebrates those who have given tremendous service to Lehi and honors Lehi’s remarkable history. This year’s theme is “100 Years of Beautiful Lehi Homes.” For more information on Lehi Heritage Day or the Classic Car and Bike Show, see lehihistory.com.
Beloved Lehi Elementary schoolteacher Lois Littleford and her late husband Roy are lifelong residents and contributors to Lehi.
While working in the lunchroom at Lehi Elementary, where her children were attending school, Lois decided to get her teaching degree. After gathering her courage and support system, she earned a bachelor’s degree and a master’s equivalency fromBrigham Young University in 1969.
She spent 26 wonderful years teaching first and third grades at Lehi Elementary. During that time, she created a school mascot, wrote a song and helped style a t-shirt for the “Lehi Lights.” One of the joys of her life is running into former students.
Lois’ father, Alva Wing, was the first president of the Lehi Rotary Club and the first president of the Civic Improvement Association, which oversees the Lehi Round-Up Rodeo. Therefore, it’s no surprise Lois and Roy spent countless hourscooking “rodeo burgers,” selling goodies and tickets and cleaning up the arena at evening’s end to make the event a success. Roy even drove the ambulance to transport injured cowboys to the hospital.

The couple worked on the Lehi Beautification Committee for many years and served on the Old Folks Committee. Roy served in a bishopric, as branch president and as stake executive secretary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were missionaries at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo and served ten years at the Mount Timpanogos Temple in American Fork.
Lois is the fourth of five children born to Alva H. and Dorothy Udine Sabey Wing. She says she grew up at Wing Mortuary, which her father owned and operated. From the time she was a senior in high school, she styled the hair of the deceased women. She enjoyed serving them and their family members in this way.
Music and writing poetry have always been an important part of Lois’ life. As a youth, she played the violin in the high school orchestra and sang in the choir.
Roy Forest Littleford was born to Forrestier and Thelma Mae Richins Littleford. He was followed by siblings Mark and Joyce. Roy earned an associate degree at Community College in Provo. Over the years, he helped at Wing Mortuary, worked at Deseret Chemical and was employed by Utah Power and Light, retiring at age 55 as the senior draftsman.
The couple met when Lois was just 15. Roy stopped to give Lois and her friends a ride. She wasn’t expecting any connection as she knew Roy was ready to serve a mission for the LDS Church. He was also serving in the National Guard. But the Korean conflict emerged, and the Guard was frozen. Roy had two choices: stay in the Guard and forego the mission or be drafted to war. He decided to remain with his troop.

Roy and Lois dated for two years before marrying in the Salt Lake Temple. Lois was 17 and a junior in high school at the time. She completed her senior year as a married woman and graduated with the Lehi High School class of 1954.
In 1964, the Littleford family moved into the beautiful and historic John Devey home at 91 E. Main Street and have lived there happily ever since.
When Roy passed away in 2015, Lois served an LDS mission in Ohio. She continues to find joy in serving those around her. She says, “My life is rich and full when filled with family, the Church, friends and neighbors.”
Roy and Lois are the proud parents of Debra (Jeff Sermon), Julie (David Hunt) and Blake (Elaine Hutchison). They have 12 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren. | https://lehifreepress.com/2022/08/14/lehi-historical-society-and-archives-littlefords-commended-for-dedication-to-lehi-children-round-up-old-folks/ | 2022-08-15T00:08:22Z | https://lehifreepress.com/2022/08/14/lehi-historical-society-and-archives-littlefords-commended-for-dedication-to-lehi-children-round-up-old-folks/ | false | 1 |

Forecasters are predicting thunder, lightning and flooding as a yellow weather warning comes into force across the UK.
The Met Office has implemented the warning for Scotland and Northern Ireland until 11.59pm on Monday and 11.59pm for all of England and Wales on Tuesday after a change in air pressure led to dramatic showers.
Power cuts and delays and cancellations in trains and buses are predicted, while spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions for motorists.
The south west and south east of England also face a third day of yellow warnings on Wednesday until 11.59pm, as the rain eases off elsewhere.
Greg Dewhurst, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said the week would start off quite humid before cooling down later on.
He told the PA news agency: “We’ll start off initially quite humid, particularly across the south and the east of the UK, with thundery showers and sunny spells, but it will gradually become cooler and fresher as the week goes on.
“First half of the week, we’re looking at some heavy downpours and thunderstorms developing.
“You can sort of see that sort of transition coming in from the north, it’s day by day.
“It’s still hot tomorrow, we’re looking at highs around 31C, possibly 32C, and then it starts to come down.
“As we head towards Tuesday, temperatures are around 26C or 27C. Wednesday Thursday will be the mid 20s.
“So probably tomorrow is the last day where we’ll see temperatures above 30C for the rest of the week.”
Drivers have been urged to drive carefully amid predictions of flash flooding.
Simon Williams, RAC’s road safety expert, told PA: “When roads or conditions have been so dry, flash floods are going to appear and cause a danger to drivers.
There’s a risk of aquaplaning as the water won’t drain away quite as quickly. The risk of slipping and sliding is also greater.
“Make sure you’ve got good tread on your tyres and they’re properly inflated, because the tread is the only thing that keeps you in contact with the road. Also, leave plenty of space between your car and the car in front.”
A spokesman for the AA also warned about slippery surfaces on the roads as a result of rubber build-up from tyres.
Meanwhile two people are missing after getting into difficulty in rivers in England during the hot weekend weather.
Temperatures soared to 34C on Saturday and Sunday as the spate of sunny and hot weather continued across the UK.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue service said they received reports at 6:37pm on Sunday of a man missing near the Weir at Stoke Bardolph.
Eight crews were sent to find the man and the incident has now been handed over to the police.
A search is also under way for a man in the River Thames after he was reported getting into difficulty in the water.
The Metropolitan Police said a “multi-agency response” was in operation after they received reports of the man in the water at Hampton Court at 4.12pm.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: “Officers from the Met and Surrey Police, the National Police Air Service, as well as the London Fire Brigade, London Ambulance Service and RNLI, began searching the river.
“However, despite the best efforts of everyone involved the man has not been found.
“Efforts to inform all of his next of kin are ongoing while work to recover the man continues.” | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/08/15/thunder-lightning-and-floods-predicted-over-the-next-few-days/ | 2022-08-15T00:08:44Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/08/15/thunder-lightning-and-floods-predicted-over-the-next-few-days/ | true | 10 |

(JTA) — Jewish communities in two countries were reeling this weekend after a shooting just outside the Old City of Jerusalem left eight wounded.
An Arab resident of East Jerusalem turned himself in to police after a manhunt that focused on the Silwan neighborhood there, according to Israeli media.
The shooting took place early Sunday morning as people boarded a bus. Among those shot, according to various reports, were multiple members of a family from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a center of the Satmar Hasidic Orthodox sect; a teenager from a different Brooklyn family; a pair of Israeli brothers; and a pregnant woman who remains hospitalized along with her child, whom doctors delivered after she suffered an abdominal injury.
The shooting comes a week after an exchange of hostilities between Israel and the militant group Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza in which dozens of Palestinians died and nearly a thousand rockets were fired toward Israelis. It also comes after months of relative calm within Israel following a series of attacks this spring in which 19 Israelis were murdered.
The tourists wounded in the Jerusalem shooting are among the wave of visitors flowing into Israel this summer after years of pandemic travel restrictions had tamped down travel. Hours after the attack, Prime Minister Yair Lapid broadcast confidence in Jerusalem, tweeting a picture of himself eating at a cafe there.
“Our capital city is strong, safe, beautiful and welcoming to residents and tourists,” Lapid wrote. | https://www.jta.org/2022/08/14/israel/5-americans-including-new-yorkers-among-8-shot-in-jerusalem-terror-attack | 2022-08-15T00:13:26Z | https://www.jta.org/2022/08/14/israel/5-americans-including-new-yorkers-among-8-shot-in-jerusalem-terror-attack | false | 2 |

MONTREAL — A powerful service game gave Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime a distinct advantage in his third-round match at the National Bank Open on Thursday afternoon. Cameron Norrie had no answer for it and then watched his own service game fall apart. The sixth-seeded Auger-Aliassime fired 15 aces in a 6-3, 6-4 victory over the ninth-seeded Brit to earn a quarterfinal berth at his hometown tournament. "That was a very convincing win," Auger-Aliassime said. "I served really well but I felt like I
Call it the Battle of the Bridge, Part 2. This time, Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte were the main protagonists in the latest feisty match between Chelsea and Tottenham that ended in a 2-2 draw because of a goal deep into stoppage time from Harry Kane. That ended up being an afterthought, though, following the explosive end to the game at Stamford Bridge, just like there was in 2016 when Tottenham's title challenge ended with a 2-2 draw against Chelsea and both sets of players and coaches clashe

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Will Zalatoris had the most money and the best world ranking of anyone without a PGA Tour victory. He changed that Sunday by winning the FedEx St. Jude Championship without making birdie in a three-hole playoff. Heartache in two previous playoff losses this year — one in a major — turned into relief for Zalatoris after a wild finish in the TPC Southwind. It ended when he took a penalty drop from the rocks that frame the par-3 11th green and holed a 7-foot bogey putt to beat

MONTREAL — CF Montréal's playoff position is far more solid entering the final third of the Major League Soccer season than it was at this point last year. The club was on the bubble of the playoff race and in good form in 2021 before only claiming two wins in its last 10 games and missing the post-season. Montreal is in a much more favourable position this year, 10 points away from danger and in sole possession of third place in the Eastern Conference. The club has an excellent opportunity to f
MONTREAL — Casper Ruud let the opening game of the decisive set slip away Saturday at the National Bank Open.

He'll face Pablo Carreno Busta for the title after the Spaniard posted a 7-5, 6-7 (7), 6-2 win over Britain's Daniel Evans in the evening semifinal. The six-foot-fi

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nick Mullens completed 7 of 9 passes for 94 yards and one touchdown, and the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Minnesota Vikings 26-20 on Sunday in a preseason game.
The Raiders moved to 2-0 after a 27-11 win over Jacksonville last week in the Hall of Fame Game.
Jarrett Stidham, who started at quarterback for Las Vegas, completed 10 of his 15 passes for 68 yards. He also ran for 16 yards on four carries, including a touchdown.
Chase Garbers was 2 for 3 through the air for 19 yards. Brittain Brown ran for 54 yards on 14 carries, including one touchdown.
Kellen Mond threw for 119 yards on nine completions, including two touchdowns, in the Vikings' preseason opener. Sean Mannion finished 8 of 12 for 79 yards.
Veteran wideout Albert Wilson caught two passes for Minnesota, both for touchdowns.
The Raiders used 15 plays to go 67 yards on their opening drive and take a 3-0 lead on Daniel Carlson’s 23-yard field goal.
They made it 10-0 when Stidham scampered four yards for a touchdown on the first play of the second quarter. It was Stidham’s second rushing touchdown of the preseason.
The Vikings did a good job of controlling the line of scrimmage for much of the second quarter, moving the ball effectively while bullying Las Vegas’ defensive front on consecutive drives. But drives of 75 and 79 yards stalled inside the red zone and the Vikings settled for field goals and cut Las Vegas’ lead to 10-6.
Las Vegas opened the second half under the direction of Mullens, who marched the Raiders 79 yards in 12 plays on their first series, culminating with a 34-yard catch-and-run touchdown by DJ Turner.
Minnesota answered quickly, though, as Mond hit Wilson for a 2-yard strike to get the Vikings within 16-13.
Another time-consuming drive ate nearly eight minutes of the fourth quarter, as the Raiders went 60 yards in 15 plays. Brown capped the drive with a two-yard plunge to push Las Vegas back in front by 10, at 23-13.
After the Raiders extended their lead to 13 with a 47-yard field goal by Carlson, the Vikings made it a one-possession game when Mond and Wilson hooked up for a second time with a 20-yard over-the-shoulder strike to the corner of the end zone.
TRAINERS ROOM
Vikings: QB Kirk Cousins tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week and did not travel with the team. The Vikings’ next practice is Tuesday, putting Cousins on track to return to the field then.
Raiders: DE Malcolm Koonce was shaken up during the first quarter, but later returned to play.
UP NEXT
Vikings: Host the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday.
Raiders: Visit the Miami Dolphins on Saturday.

Soccer-Cristante's goal hands Roma narrow win over Salernitana
A first-half strike by midfielder Bryan Cristante helped AS Roma grab a 1-0 win at Salernitana in their Serie A opener on Sunday, while forward Paulo Dybala disappointed fans as he failed to find the back of the net on his debut. After two good chances for Roma by winger Nicolo Zaniolo, and a close attempt by Salernitana striker Federico Bonazzoli, Jose Mourinho's men finally took the lead in the 33rd minute.
A first-half strike by midfielder Bryan Cristante helped AS Roma grab a 1-0 win at Salernitana in their Serie A opener on Sunday, while forward Paulo Dybala disappointed fans as he failed to find the back of the net on his debut.
After two good chances for Roma by winger Nicolo Zaniolo, and a close attempt by Salernitana striker Federico Bonazzoli, Jose Mourinho's men finally took the lead in the 33rd minute. Cristante fired a low shot from outside the crowded box to put Roma ahead as the ball bounced off the pitch twice before it landed in bottom right corner.
"It's the first game of the season, we know it's always a tricky one," Roma defender Gianluca Mancini told DAZN. "We held up well, we just missed those two extra goals. I'm not saying we risked (losing), but there was certainly (some) danger because they could have equalised with a corner kick or a through ball.
"Let's hope that next time we'll throw it in more." Roma's new signing Dybala came close to doubling their lead before the break but his strike hit the right post. Earlier, the Argentine international fired a free kick both above the wall but also narrowly above the crossbar.
The 28-year-old continued his search for goal after the halftime as he hit the ball from a tight angle on the edge of the six-yard box, sending it just off the right post. Roma squandered another chance in the 67th minute but Zaniolo could only find the side-netting with another of his attempts.
Substitute Georginio Wijnaldum was even closer than Dybala to scoring on his Roma debut as he found the net after receiving a neat pass from Dybala in the 86th minute, but the referee disallowed his effort for offside. "I liked everything," Mourinho told a news conference.
"Obviously, I would've been happier to win 3-0 or 4-0, but I liked seeing the team that didn't score the goals it should have (scored), yet still had the maturity to control the situation." Salernitana, who narrowly avoided being relegated last season, travel to Udinese on Saturday. Roma host newly promoted Cremonese on Aug. 22.
Earlier on Sunday, an own goal by Lorenzo De Silvestri cost Bologna dearly as it allowed 10-man Lazio to bounce back from one goal down and seal a 2-1 home win helped by Ciro Immobile's 183th goal for the Rome-based club. Fiorentina, meanwhile, were handed three points on a silver platter thanks to a clumsy mistake by Cremonese goalkeeper Ionut Radu in the dying minutes, which condemned the recently promoted side to a 3-2 defeat.
On Monday, Napoli travel to Verona and Juventus host Sassuolo to wrap up Serie A's opening round of games.

Garena Free Fire provides multiple options in terms of maps for the Battle Royale mode. Among the five choices, Bermuda is arguably the most used one, which is also a map adored by many players. It has been available in Free Fire since the title was released in 2017.
Bermuda offers different terrains as well as many buildings and broken walls, making it exciting. One can find loot that suits their playstyle, camp inside the buildings, travel in vehicles, access airdrops, find a strategic higher ground, and perform various other actions on Bermuda.
Note: Indian users should understand that Free Fire is legally unavailable in the country, so they should avoid playing the game through illegitimate methods. They can install the MAX variant instead to access their game accounts.
The best Garena Free Fire landing spots in the game after the OB35 update
Each update brings some changes to Garena Free Fire/FF MAX in terms of the in-game content, and all the maps are sometimes a part of the alterations. Below are the best drop locations on the Bermuda map after the Free Fire OB35 update.
1) Mars Electric
Players often prefer the southernmost location in Bermuda as it is comparatively safer than many other hot drops. Mars Electric is also underrated when it comes to loot. This is because players usually find above-average guns scattered around multiple warehouses.
If players are looking to push rank, they should know that Mars Electric's proximity to Factory, Pochinok, and Sentosa makes it slightly risky as a landing spot in Ranked mode. Still, vehicle availability makes it easier to escape after the early stages of a match.
2) Hangar
Another safe drop location in Bermuda, Hangar is an excellent choice to land in BR mode. Despite the relatively less loot, players can find high-quality weapons if they put some effort into looking for them. Moreover, Hangar also invites several bots to the lower towers, which means one can get easy kills for a better K/D.
The open space is a bit of a worry for players who want to avoid close-quarter combat. However, they can use warehouses, containers, or towers to take cover.
Hangar is sometimes unsuitable for the later stages of a match when the safe zone starts shrinking.
3) Clock Tower
Clock Tower is a paradise for campers due to the availability of plenty of structures and buildings. Besides offering the opportunity to camp as well as ample cover, it is also a popular drop location for the quality of loot it offers.
Furthermore, the placement of Clock Tower on the Bermuda map makes it closer to the flight's route almost every time; the central location in Bermuda is helpful for gamers when the safe zone shrinks.
4) Factory
The Factory is the best location in Free Fire's Bermuda if players love to play aggressively and prefer hot-drop locations.
Factory is among the riskiest places to land in Free Fire's Battle Royale mode. However, the risk pays off because of the top-notch loot players can get at the Factory. Moreover, one can use the containers to get a cover advantage in close-range fights. Vehicles can be found in this location as well.
Bermuda's one of the riskiest drop locations is also famous among Free Fire/FF MAX fans for the Factory Challenge, which is often played as a custom-room match without any guns.
5) Mill
The final addition to this list of the best Bermuda locations is Mill, which offers decent loot. It is another popular drop location primarily due to its frequently featuring in the Clash Squad matches.
Many CS mode lovers choose Mill to explore the weapons in Battle Royale mode. The guns are scattered all over the place.
Disclaimer: Players need to note that high-tier loot zones change with every BR match, and they shouldn't rely entirely on this list if they seek top-notch weapons. This article reflects the author's opinion. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/free-fire/5-best-drop-locations-bermuda-map-free-fire-ob35-update | 2022-08-15T00:43:16Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/free-fire/5-best-drop-locations-bermuda-map-free-fire-ob35-update | true | 1 |
Will Zalatoris gets 1st PGA Tour win in playoff at Memphis
The 10-foot par putt in regulation was so crucial and the moment so important that Will Zalatoris doesn’t remember screaming out when he made it, “What are they gonna say now?”
It took three playoff holes to get the answer Sunday in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and it was more along the lines of what they won’t say.
Zalatoris is no longer the best on the PGA Tour without a victory.
Already a force in the majors, Zalatoris got that first win out of the way with clutch putts and smart decisions to beat Sepp Straka and capture the first FedEx Cup playoffs event.
“It’s hard to say, ‘About time,’ when it’s your second year on tour, but it’s about time,” Zalatoris said. “Considering all those close finishes, it means a lot.”
He could have been referring to his runner-up to Hideki Matsuyama in the Masters last year, playoff losses at Torrey Pines and at Southern Hills in the PGA Championship, and most recently the putt that burned the edge of the cup that kept him from a U.S. Open playoff.
This one could have gone either way, a playoff that featured three penalty drops in three holes, neither player making birdie and Zalatoris winning on the par-3 11th with a bogey.
He looked to be in trouble from a fairway bunker on the 18th in regulation until Zalatoris made that 10-footer for par at a 4-under 66. He was in the trees, close to a boundary fence on the 18th on the second playoff hole when he wisely chipped out and made a 15-foot par putt.
Nothing was more wild than the final hole.
His tee shot hit the bank and then bounced seven times on the rocks before coming to rest. Straka followed with a shot that hit the bank, took one bounce off the rocks and went into the water. A huge break for Zalatoris? Not really. He had no realistic shot.
Straka went to the drop zone and his wedge went into the back bunker. He played his fourth shot out to 4 feet as Zalatoris was still going over his options.
“Considering where Sepp was and he had 4 feet for 5, there’s no reason for me to try that shot and make it bank right into the grass and go back in the water and all of a sudden I’ve lost the golf tournament,” Zalatoris said.
He went to the drop zone, hit to 7 feet and let his raised hands drop over his head in relief when he made the winning putt.
Zalatoris moves into the top 10 in the world for the first time and takes the No. 1 spot in the FedEx Cup, assuring him a reasonable shot at the $18 million prize in two weeks.
Straka, already a winner this year in the Honda Classic, narrowly missed a 20-foot birdie putt for the win on the 18th for a 67. He had a 25-foot putt for the win on the 18th on the first playoff hole and had to make a 7-footer the second time around to stay in the game.
“This course is where every shot you hit you’re on the edge of your seat,” Straka said. “Add the nerves of competing for a tournament to that, especially for a playoff event and yeah, it can get a little crazy.”
They finished at 15-under 265.
Straka, who played bogey-free over the final 13 holes in regulation, moves to No. 8 in the standings and is assured his first trip to the Tour Championship at East Lake.
Lucas Glover came away with a consolation prize. The former U.S. Open champion came into the FedEx Cup playoffs at No. 121, knowing that only the top 70 advance to the next tournament.
Glover closed with a 66 and wound up in a tie for third. Not only was he among four players who moved into the top 70, he now is at No. 34 and has a good chance of being part of the top 30 who go to the Tour Championship to play for the $18 million first prize.
Also moving into the top 70 were Adam Scott, Andrew Putnam and Wyndham Clark, who had reason to think he had thrown away his chances when he played a four-hole stretch in 4-over par and had to save par on the 18th for a 72. He finished at No. 70 by three points.
Meanwhile, No. 1 in the world stays with Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, who missed the cut and spent Sunday playing Pine Valley for the first time.
British Open champion Cameron Smith could have replaced him by winning, and he arrived at the TPC Southwind two shots out of the lead. And then he was four shots back without hitting a shot. Smith was given a two-shot penalty when rules officials realized upon review that when Smith took a penalty drop in the third round, the ball was still touching the red hazard line.
They checked with Smith, who confirmed it was touching the line. He birdied the first hole, made only one other birdie, shot 70 and tied for 13th. Smith declined interview requests.

Will Zalatoris gets 1st PGA Tour win in playoff at Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The 10-foot par putt in regulation was so crucial and the moment so important that Will Zalatoris doesn’t remember screaming out when he made it, “What are they gonna say now?” It took three playoff holes to get the answer Sunday in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and it was more along the lines of what they won’t say. Zalatoris is no longer the best on the PGA Tour without a victory. Already a force in the majors, Zalatoris got that first win out of the way with clutch putts and smart decisions to beat Sepp Straka and capture the first FedEx Cup playoffs event.

More drama for Cameron Smith as he gets two-shot retroactive penalty after bizarre rules incident from Saturday
Coincidence? Karma? Just bad luck? However, you want to characterize what happened to Cameron Smith, who has been the center of a lot of attention this week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, it doesn’t change the fact that he’ll start the final round on Sunday four shots off the lead rather than two after incurring a two-shot penalty for an unusual rules incident that spilled over from his third round.

Quadria will sell its entire 20% stake in Concord Biotech in the company’s IPO

Healthcare-focused private equity fund Quadria Capital will sell its entire 20% stake in active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) maker Concord Biotech in the company’s initial public offering (IPO).
Healthcare-focused private equity fund Quadria Capital will sell its entire 20% stake in active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) maker Concord Biotech in the company’s initial public offering (IPO).
Rare Enterprises, owned by ace market investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala who died early on Sunday, is among the shareholders of Concord Biotech. The IPO consists of only a secondary share sale by Quadria Capital, involving sale of 20.9 million shares, according to the company’s draft red herring prospectus (DRHP). No primary funds are planned to be raised by the company. No other shareholders of the company are diluting their shareholding in the company through the IPO. Rare Enterprises holds around 24% stake in the company.
The IPO is expected to be at least ₹2,000 crore in size, a person aware of the company’s IPO plans said on the condition of anonymity. Quadria had invested around ₹500 crore in the company in 2016 for a 20% stake. At an issue size of ₹2,000 crore, Quadria will make four times returns on the Concord Biotech investment.
In 2005, Hyderabad-based drug maker Matrix Lab bought a 58% stake in Concord. However, when it was acquired by generic drug maker Mylan NV in 2006, Matrix sold its stake in Concord back to the promoters and Rare Enterprises.
Concord Biotech is involved in manufacturing fermentation and semi-synthetic biopharmaceutical APIs with immunosuppressants as its key therapeutic segment. | https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/quadria-capital-eyes-concord-biotech-exit/amp-11660498367102.html | 2022-08-15T00:55:21Z | https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/quadria-capital-eyes-concord-biotech-exit/amp-11660498367102.html | true | 3 |

Southern Door referendum questions set for approval
Your vote this fall could decide whether a major facelift is given to Southern Door School District. The district’s board will discuss and approve two referendum questions to be placed on the November 8th general election ballot. The operational referendum would allow the district budget to exceed the revenue limit by $975,000 annually for three years. These funds would be used for non-recurring expenses such as student support services, updating curriculum materials, maintaining current programming and technology, and wages. The capital referendum would authorize general obligation bonds to be issued for $14.9 million. Under the plans currently posted on the district’s website, new construction would include an indoor practice facility, a relocated weight and fitness room, and a greenhouse. The current district office building would also be torn down to make way for additional parking in front of the school building. The district office would then be relocated to what is now the fitness center.

BENGALURU: A Vayu Vajra bus ride from Electronics City to Kempegowda International Airport in Devanahalli costs Rs 335. Today, it is free. On Monday alone (August 15), all BMTC rides including Vajra, Vayu Vajra airport services and non-AC buses across the city will be free for everyone on the occasion of its 25th anniversary (since BMTC formed) and India's 75th Independence Day.
BMTC will run scheduled services of all 5,700 buses on Monday. "We'll not be collecting fares but all buses will have conductors to get the data of ridership so we could assess how many passengers availed the facility. The idea of free bus ride on August 15 is to provide an opportunity to all sections of society to experience our buses and attract them towards public transport," said BMTC MD G Sathyavathi.
Times View
Free rides for a day will not make an iota of difference, especially since BMTC provides inadequate services after 6pm due to a shortage of staff. Given the threat of Covid-19, none would want to travel in overcrowded buses. People will automatically switch to public transport if there are more buses, better frequency, and good first and last-mile connectivity. The utility must make services accessible, reliable, and efficient. Inducting minibuses on congested stretches is a sound first step. But for this to happen, the government must loosen its purse strings.
Many activists, passengers and NGOs have approached BMTC to perform live music/comedy shows/awareness campaigns inside buses/bus stations. But only free bus ride is planned for August 15," said an official.
KSRTC Staff and Workers Federation president HV Ananta Subbarao said: "Providing free bus travel on one day is just a publicity gimmick. BMTC has failed to provide PF dues and post-retirement benefits like gratuity for its retired employees citing fund crunch. It is ready to give up daily revenue of Rs 3 crore with this free ride."
He said the BMTC is cutting down staff and reducing shifts, leading to dip in frequency of buses after 6pm. "In many places, people wait at bus stops in large numbers during evening peak hours but seniors officials sit in their AC rooms without making any visits to the bus stops/terminals. It has failed to run additional buses," he asked.
The number of BMTC buses has risen from 6,524 in 2014-2015 to 6,677 in 2017-2018, 6,690 in 2019-2020 and 6,800 now. Daily ridership shows a downward trend: 51.3 lakh in 2014-2015, 50.7 lakh in 2015-2016, 45.3 lakh in 2016-2017, 44.3 lakh in 2017-2018, 35 lakh in 33.1 in 2019-2020, and down to 28-29 lakh now.

Morgan Taylor, a Grammy-award nominee, died at age 52. The death of the multimedia artist who created music and art for kids came after a “brief and sudden illness,” according to a GoFundMe created by his friends. He is survived by his wife of 18 years, Rachel Loshak, and their children, Harvey and Ridley.
Taylor was best known for his creation of the World of Gustafer Yellowgold, an animated character said to be from the sun. It was for the CD/DVD “Gustafer Yellowgold’s Dark Pie Concerns,” which was released in 2015, that Taylor received a Grammy nod in the Best Children’s Album category.
Hollywood & Media Deaths In 2022: Photo Gallery
In an interview with Dayton in 2015, Taylor said that he wanted to be a comic book artist when he was younger and wished to move to New York City to become an illustrator. After his rock group disbanded in 2003, his wife suggested he create a kids’ book project.
“One of my jobs, when I worked at Gem City Records, was to write up the new releases on the board, and I would draw a funny cartoon a lot,” he said of how Gustafer Yellowgold was born. “I drew this yellow cat-faced looking guy, and that basically became Gustafer later. Once I started writing up the stories, we started showing them to people and people were excited about it right away. We printed up copies, bounded them at home with spray glue and twine and made 20 copies of the book and passed them around.”
A memorial service for Taylor will take place on August 18 in Dayton, Ohio. His obituary on Legacy provided insight into some of the things that the artist was known for in his day-to-day life.
“Morgan was unbeatable in Pictionary and Name That Tune. He was a lover of hot sauce and Funyuns, and had a weakness for puns, which he wrote, illustrated, and shared often,” the obituary read. “Morgan truly was the best dad Harvey and Ridley could have asked for. He will be missed terribly by everyone who knew him.”

Just this past week, Ricky Shiffer entered an Ohio FBI building while armed, made threats, then engaged in gunfire with agents after a police chase and a standoff. On the same day the FBI executed a search warrant on Mar-a-Lago, Shiffer made a call on former President Donald Trump's platform Truth Social to "be ready for combat" and to "Kill the FBI on sight." Shiffer, a staunch Trump supporter, was killed.
On Saturday, Trump supporters protested outside the FBI building in Phoenix, carrying handguns and "assault-style weapons." One protester said they were there to demonstrate against the "unlawful search" at Trump's Florida resort. One said, "We're here in support of Trump, for what happened to him, the unlawful search with the FBI at his Mar-a-Lago home. We will not stand by, and we will not stand down."
One man can be seen on footage waving a Confederate flag, and others held "honor your oath" and "Abolish FBI" signs, and many of them had their faces covered. Hey, we finally got them to wear masks.
Meanwhile, the former President is attacking the FBI on Truth Social, calling the agency corrupt, among other things.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s economy grew at an annual rate of 2.2% for the April-June quarter from the previous quarter, the government said Monday, as consumer spending rebounded with COVID-19 restrictions getting gradually lifted.
Japan’s gross domestic product, or GDP, the sum of the value of a nation’s products and services, expanded 0.5% from January-March, during which the economy had stayed flat, according to the Cabinet Office’s preliminary estimates.
Economists had forecast 0.6% on-quarter growth.
The annual numbers show how the economy would have grown if the quarterly rate were to continue for a year.
Private consumption jumped at an annual rate of 4.6%. Public investment rose at an annual rate of 3.8%. Exports gained 3.7%, while imports grew 2.7%, both annual rates.
One major risk for the world’s third-largest economy has been higher prices, especially in the energy sector, brought on by global inflation. Russia’s war in Ukraine has pushed already high energy prices still higher, a major negative for resource-poor Japan.
The Japanese yen has weakened to two-decade lows against the dollar, recently trading at about 135 yen to the dollar, making imports relatively more expensive. After the release of GDP data, the dollar was trading at about 133 yen.
On the plus side, the weak yen works as a plus for Japan’s giant exporters like Toyota Motor Corp. by boosting the value of overseas earnings when translated into yen.
The coronavirus pandemic is another factor. Japan’s last government-backed restrictions to try to curb infections ended in March.
COVID-19 cases have surged dramatically in recent months to record highs in some areas — a jump attributed to the greater availability of tests, more transmissible variants and a segment of the population being under-vaccinated despite the shots being readily available.
Some analysts think Japan’s economic growth will drop again in the July-September period.
“After a much brighter spring, we think the economy will slow again this quarter on the back of weaker consumer spending due to rising COVID-19 infections,” said Takayuki Toji, economist at SuMi TRUST.
“Exports should be supported by the lifting of the urban blockade in China and capital investment should remain firm but slowing global growth due to monetary tightening in the U.S. and Europe will take its toll.”

Lawsuit claims Gov. Youngkin received improper tax-free bonus in 2020
Published: Aug. 14, 2022 at 5:54 PM EDT|Updated: 4 hours ago
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Governor Glenn Youngkin is named in a lawsuit. It claims he received an improper tax-free bonus in 2020.
Youngkin was elected after having served as co-CEO of the Carlyle Group Private Equity Firm.
The lawsuit claims the whole senior staff received a major payout.
“When someone in high office is revealed to have gotten eight and a half million dollars and paid $0.00 in taxes, it’s an issue. It’s going to stick with him for a long time,” UVA Center for Politics Director Larry Sabato said.

PHOENIX (AP) — It’s been 80 years since the first Navajo Code Talkers joined the Marines, transmitting messages using a code based on their then-unwritten native language to confound Japanese military cryptologists during World War II — and Thomas H. Begay, one of the last living members of the group, still remembers the struggle.
“It was the hardest thing to learn,” the 98-year-old Begay said Sunday at a Phoenix ceremony marking the anniversary. “But we were able to develop a code that couldn’t be broken by the enemy of the United States of America.”
Hundreds of Navajos were recruited by the U.S. Marines to serve as Code Talkers during the war. Begay is one of three who is still alive to talk about it.
The Code Talkers participated in all assaults the Marines led in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945 including Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Peleliu and Iwo Jima.
They sent thousands of messages without error on Japanese troop movements, battlefield tactics and other communications crucial to the war’s ultimate outcome.
President Ronald Reagan established Navajo Code Talkers Day in 1982 and the Aug. 14 holiday honors all the tribes associated with the war effort.
It’s also an Arizona state holiday and Navajo Nation holiday on the vast reservation that occupies portions of northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico and southeastern Utah.
Begay and his family came from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Phoenix for Sunday’s event at the Wesley Bolin Plaza where a Navajo Code Talker statue is displayed. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/ap-top-headlines/80-years-later-navajo-code-talker-marks-groups-early-days/ | 2022-08-15T02:02:28Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/ap-top-headlines/80-years-later-navajo-code-talker-marks-groups-early-days/ | false | 33 |
JERUSALEM (AP) — Svika Pick, a pillar of Israel’s music industry who gained international attention after his song won the Eurovision Song Contest, has died. He was 72.
Pick, known as “the Maestro” in Israeli pop circles, was a singer, composer and prolific songwriter who penned dozens of No. 1 hits. After news of his death broke Sunday, Israeli radio stations cut off regular programming to broadcast his music.
Pick’s catchy pop songs, stretching as far back as the 1970s, became a soundtrack of the nation. He began his career on stage with a role in the musical “Hair” and throughout the decades became a mainstay of the Israeli music scene. A collection of his songs was turned into a musical in the early 2000s.
Among his best known tunes was “Diva,” written for the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest and performed by singer Dana International. That song won the campy competition that year and observers have repeatedly chosen it as among the contest’s all-time best entries. In a statement. Dana International called Pick “an Israeli cultural icon. A trailblazer. A gifted composer. The king of Israeli pop.”
At the start of his career, Pick brought some glitz to Israel’s music scene with his David Bowie-esque dress and signature long hair at a time when the country’s performers and audiences were more conservative.
The Pick name gained further international recognition when Daniella Pick, one of Zvika’s four children, married American director Quentin Tarantino. The couple recently had a second child and split their time between Israel and the U.S.
Pick suffered a stroke in 2018 which impeded his speech and movement. While his condition improved somewhat since, he did not return to perform or write as often as he once did.
Pick’s death drew condolences from all walks of Israeli life, including politicians, fellow artists and ordinary Israelis. The cause of death was not immediately known.
Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said Pick’s songs “entered the Israeli heart and culture and turned into an anthem.”
“Svika died today but his songs and compositions that he left behind will continue to be played for years to come,” Lapid said. | https://www.nbc4i.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/svika-pick-prolific-israeli-singer-songwriter-dies-at-72/ | 2022-08-15T02:14:38Z | https://www.nbc4i.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/svika-pick-prolific-israeli-singer-songwriter-dies-at-72/ | false | 22 |
Russian President Vladimir Putin told North Korean leader Kim Jong Un the two countries will “expand the comprehensive and constructive bilateral relations with common efforts,” Pyongyang’s state media reported Monday.
In a letter to Kim for Korea’s liberation day, Putin said closer ties would be in both countries’ interests and would help strengthen the security and stability of the Korean peninsula and the Northeastern Asian region, North Korea’s KCNA news agency said.
Kim also sent a letter to Putin saying Russian-North Korean friendship had been forged in World War II with victory over Japan, which had occupied the Korean peninsula.
The “strategic and tactical cooperation, support and solidarity” between the two countries has since reached a new level is their common efforts to frustrate threats and provocations from hostile military forces, Kim said in the letter. KCNA did not identify the hostile forces, but it has typically used that term to refer to the United States and its allies.
Kim predicted cooperation between Russia and North Korea would grow based on an agreement signed in 2019 when he met with Putin.
North Korea in July recognized two Russian-backed breakaway “people’s republics” in eastern Ukraine as independent states, and officials raised the prospect of North Korean workers being sent to the areas to help in construction and other labor.
Ukraine, which is resisting a Russian invasion described by Moscow as a “special military operation,” immediately severed relations with Pyongyang over the move.

Strike four: Facebook misses election misinfo in Brazil ads
Facebook failed to detect blatant election-related misinformation in ads ahead of Brazil’s 2022 election, a new report from Global Witness has found, continuing a pattern of not catching material that violates its policies the group describes as “alarming.”
The advertisements contained false information about the country’s upcoming election, such as promoting the wrong election date, incorrect voting methods and questioning the integrity of the election.
This is the fourth time that the London-based nonprofit has tested Meta’s ability to catch blatant violations of the rules of its most popular social media platform— and the fourth such test Facebook has flubbed. In the three prior instances, Global Witness submitted advertisements containing violent hate speech to see if Facebook’s controls — either human reviewers or artificial intelligence — would catch it. They did not.
“Facebook has identified Brazil as one of its priority countries where it’s investing special resources specifically to tackle election related disinformation,” said Jon Lloyd, senior advisor at Global Witness. “So we wanted to really test out their systems with enough time for them to act. And with the U.S. midterms around the corner, Meta simply has to get this right — and right now.”
Brazil’s national elections will be held on Oct. 2 amid high tensions and disinformation threatening to discredit the electoral process. Facebook is the most popular social media platform in the country. In a statement, Meta said it has “ prepared extensively for the 2022 election in Brazil.”
“We’ve launched tools that promote reliable information and label election-related posts, established a direct channel for the Superior Electoral Court to send us potentially-harmful content for review, and continue closely collaborating with Brazilian authorities and researchers,” the company said.
In 2020 Facebook began requiring advertisers who wish to run ads about elections or politics to complete an authorization process and include “Paid for by” disclaimers on these ads, similar to what it does in the U.S. The increased safeguards follow the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, when Russia used rubles to pay for political ads designed to stoke divisions and unrest among Americans.
Global Witness said it broke these rules when it submitted the test ads (which were approved for publication but were never actually published). The group placed the ads from outside Brazil, from Nairobi and London, which should have raised red flags.
It was also not required to put a “paid for by” disclaimer on the ads and did not use a Brazilian payment method — all safeguards Facebook says it had put in place to prevent misuse of its platform by malicious actors trying to intervene in elections around the world.
“What’s quite clear from the results of this investigation and others is that their content moderation capabilities and the integrity systems that they deploy in order to mitigate some of the risk during election periods, it’s just not working,” Lloyd said.
The group is using ads as a test and not regular posts because Meta claims to hold advertisements to an “even stricter” standard than regular, unpaid posts, according to its help center page for paid advertisements.
But judging from the four investigations, Lloyd said that’s not actually clear.
“We we are constantly having to take Facebook at their word. And without a verified independent third party audit, we just can’t hold Meta or any other tech company accountable for what they say they’re doing,” he said.
Global Witness submitted ten ads to Meta that obviously violated its policies around election-related advertising. They included false information about when and where to vote, for instance and called into question the integrity of Brazil’s voting machines — echoing disinformation used by malicious actors to destabilize democracies around the world.
This will be Brazil’s first election since far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, who is seeking reelection, came to power. Bolsonaro has repeatedly attacked the integrity of the country’s election systems.
“Disinformation featured heavily in its 2018 election, and this year’s election is already marred by reports of widespread disinformation, spread from the very top: Bolsonaro is already seeding doubt about the legitimacy of the election result, leading to fears of a United States-inspired January 6 ‘stop the steal’ style coup attempt,” Global Witness said.
In its previous investigations, the group found that Facebook did not catch hate speech in Myanmar, where ads used a slur to refer to people of east Indian or Muslim origin and call for their deaths; in Ethiopia, where the ads used dehumanizing hate speech to call for the murder of people belonging to each of Ethiopia’s three main ethnic groups; and in Kenya, where the ads spoke of beheadings, rape and bloodshed.

Taylor Gauthier joined a suddenly-crowded Penguins goaltending prospect pool when Pittsburgh picked him up during 2022 free agency.
Related: 2022 Pensburgh Top 25 Under 25: Graduates and Departed
#16: Taylor Gauthier - G
Age: 21 (February 15, 2001)
Height/Weight: 6’2”/ 207 lbs.
Acquired Via: Signed to three-year ELC as an undrafted free agent on March 1
Gauthier has spent the past five years in the WHL. After four and a half seasons with the Prince George Cougars and a role as starting goaltender for Team Canada at the U-18 World Junior Championships, he was traded to the Portland Winterhawks in December 2021.
With 2021-22 being his last year of eligibility in junior hockey, this was potentially Gauthier’s last chance to make an impression on potential NHL suitors— and it didn’t take long for him to do so with the Winterhawks.
After the December 27 trade, Gauthier promptly went 7-0-0 and was named the WHL Goaltender of the Month in January after holding opponents to just 1.70 GAA.
He posted a perfect 7-0-0-0 January record for the @pdxwinterhawks.

After going 24-4-0 with Portland during the regular season, Gauthier backstopped the Winterhawks through the playoffs. He began the postseason by eliminating his former teammates, limiting the Cougars to just four goals during a four-game sweep.

Gauthier was invited to Bruins development camp in 2019 and Maple Leafs development camp in 2021, so he’s been on NHL radars for years despite his undrafted status.
But it was the Penguins who snagged Gauthier in free agency this March, adding him to a pool of goaltending prospects which includes Filip Lindberg and Joel Blomqvist (ranked No. 8 and No. 11 on Pensburgh’s 2021 Top 25 Under 25 list, respectively.)
Unlike either Lindberg or Blomqvist, Gauthier, who will officially turn pro this season after using up his last year of junior eligibility, is a right-handed goaltender. Seth Rorabaugh reports Gauthier’s inspirations are right-handed goaltenders Jose Theodore and Logan Thompson.
From Rorabaugh at the Trib Live:
As a right-catching goaltender, Gauthier is a “silly sider,” but there’s nothing silly about his NHL credentials. As a fairly large body, he doesn’t allow much for shooters to aim at. His athleticism can make him a little bit scrambly at times, but the Penguins’ goaltending development coaches — a department that has been rebuilt under general manager Ron Hextall — can smooth out those rough edges.
Other scouting reports echo this assessment. From a scout speaking to Ken Campbell of The Hockey News in 2020:
He’s really athletic and when he gets outside his structure, he gets all over the place. He gets a little scrambly. Let’s be clear, I’m not saying he’s Dominik Hasek, but it’s that kind of style, which can be a little scary. And when Dominik Hasek was being rated early on, no one thought he’d be Hasek.
Now, this large, athletic silly-sider will be battling Lindberg (Blomqvist is developing in Finland, and recent signing Dustin Tokarski will likely serve as the Penguins’ third-stringer) for the starting spot with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
“Confidence would be No. 1. I think he has a great skillset, a great gameplan, and he’s a great human being, as well. … Over five years, he’s played a lot of games and had a great track record the whole way.” —Penguins goaltender development coach Kain Tisi, via Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
One look at Gauthier’s 2021-22 highlight reel will show you why the Penguins are interested in developing this confidence further.
Gauthier is a talented goaltender who puts up an intimidating presence in the net. The only question is how he will be able to apply— and discipline— these skills at the AHL level.
Luckily, with his three-year contract starting in 2022-23, the organization has time left to see what 21-year-old Gauthier can become. | https://www.pensburgh.com/2022/8/14/23304377/pensburgh-top-25-under-25-16-taylor-gauthier | 2022-08-15T02:19:56Z | https://www.pensburgh.com/2022/8/14/23304377/pensburgh-top-25-under-25-16-taylor-gauthier | true | 1 |
