BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The United States women’s national hockey team, which will feature 18 returning Olympians, took the ice for the first time Sunday to prepare for the world championships without new coach John Wroblewski, who tested positive for COVID-19.
Wroblewski tested positive Saturday, USA Hockey spokeswoman Melissa Katz said, and will coach remotely while spending a 10-day stretch in self-isolation. Should he be cleared, Wroblewski would travel separately to join the team in Denmark, where the U.S. opens the 10-nation tournament against Japan on Aug. 25.
“The COVID news is unfortunate, but I’ll look at the positive side. I got a great look at the overall picture this week, and now I get to remove myself and process it while still making team decisions,” Wroblewski wrote in a text to The Associated Press.
Before testing positive, Wroblewski had a chance to meet the players at a series of practices last week involving Under-18, college and national team members.
“I’m excited to take this window to create development plans for some of our players that they can start to work on even during the tournament,” he added.
He said another benefit is by having assistant coaches Josh Sciba and Shelley Looney run practice, it will allow them to become more familiar with the systems Wroblewski has introduced, and help further develop their rapport with players.
Wroblewski was hired May 31 to replace Joel Johnson, who coached the team to a silver medal at the Beijing Winter Games in February. Johnson stepped down after one year as part of his commitment to coach the University of St. Thomas women’s program.
The team is scheduled to travel to Denmark on Thursday following a pre-tournament camp in Buffalo, New York.
“It’s business as usual. I think everybody knows their job,” said forward Hilary Knight, who will be competing in her 12th world championship.
“Obviously, it’s a big miss. He’s a new coach and he’s not here for the first week or so. But he does his best to Zoom in and just make it work,” she added. “That’s just the name the game in this tournament. If something happens, you have to be able to adjust and adapt and keep moving forward.”
The U.S. roster is led by Knight, whose 47 goals and 80 points are world championship team records, and Kendall Coyne Schofield, who will be making her ninth tournament appearance.
There are only five players who did not compete in Beijing, where the Americans lost 3-2 to Canada. But forward Lacey Eden and goalie Aerin Frankel were members of the U.S. team that got silver following a 3-2 overtime loss to Canada in last year’s world championships.
The only true newcomers named to the roster are forwards Taylor Heise (University of Minnesota) and Hannah Bilka (Boston College), and Cornell University defender Rory Guilday.
Wroblewski spent two seasons coaching the Los Angeles Kings’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Ontario Reign, before stepping down for personal reasons. The 41-year-old is best known for his four years at the National Team Development Program, where he oversaw teams which produced 29 NHL draft picks.

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.”

Researchers have found the remains of a previously unknown species of armored dinosaur in Argentina — the first of its kind to be discovered in South America, according to Science Alert.
The dinosaur, named Jakapil kaniukura, is said to have been bipedal with a short beak and rows of bony disk-shaped armor along its neck, back, and down to its tail. A well-protected species, Jakapil is a part of the thyreophoran species alongside other armored dinos like the stegosaurus and the ankylosaurus.
The discovery was made by paleontologists at the Félix de Azara Natural History Foundation in Argentina. The team uncovered the partial remains of Jakapil in the Río Negro province in northern Patagonia, Science Alert reports. Lead paleontologist Sebastián Apesteguía wrote that Jakapil represents the "first definitive thyreophoran species from the Argentinian Patagonia."
Researchers wrote in the journal Scientific Reports that Jakapil was an ancient species of thyreophoran, however, the remains found date back between 97 million and 94 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. The Cretaceous period is also known as the last era of the dinosaurs.
This is a surprising outcome as Apesteguía and his team note in their paper that "these older types of thyreophorans seem to have gone extinct by the Middle Jurassic." They also added that they were surprised an ancient lineage of thyreophorans survived all the way into the Late Cretaceous in South America.
Tweet may have been deleted (opens in a new tab)
Thanks to this computer reconstruction above from Gabriel Díaz Yantén, a Chilean paleoartist and paleontology student at Río Negro National University, you can see what this ancient species may have looked like when it was alive.
Apesteguía and his team measured Jakapil out to be 5 feet long with a weight between 9 and 15 pounds — the size of an average house cat. With teeth similar to the stegosaurus, researchers also believe Jakapil to also have been a plant-eating species. | https://mashable.com/article/jakapil-armoured-dinosaur-remains-argentina | 2022-08-15T02:35:49Z | https://mashable.com/article/jakapil-armoured-dinosaur-remains-argentina | false | 1 |

Growers in New Zealand Inc's sweetheart kiwifruit industry are in for some unusually downbeat news next week as rising costs and fruit quality issues combine to drive down forecast returns.
Zespri chief executive Dan Mathieson has sounded the warning in an update to the global marketer's 2800 New Zealand growers, saying the next orchard gate returns forecast on August 23 will reflect that fruit quality this season remains a significant issue as previously flagged.
Zespri, which has a statutory near-monopoly on kiwifruit exporting with record net global sales nudging $3.6 billion last year, is a little over halfway through its sales season.
Ongoing rain and cold weather in New Zealand and unseasonably high summer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere had led to a crowded fruit market, Mathieson said.
"Fruit quality remains an ongoing and significant issue this season....We are not alone in facing this challenge, with quality issues evident across other global fruit categories this season, and our competitors and colleagues have also battled labour shortages, supply chain congestion and inflationary pressures, all of which impact grower returns.
"Since publishing our indicative OCR [orchard gate return] range in June, the costs associated with this season's fruit quality will be updated and fruit loss is expected to be significantly above the levels considered by our earlier forecast, resulting in less fruit available for sale."
Prices were holding in most markets but "at present the indications are that conventional fruit returns are likely to be at the bottom and possibly even below the ranges published in June".
Mathieson said prices were holding in most markets but cost increases in freight along with labour and the quality issues meant "this season's returns will be under pressure".
Zespri said as at August 9 it had sold more than 60 million trays of its top seller SunGold kiwifruit and delivered more than 61 per cent of the season's gold fruit crop, compared to 60 per cent at the same time last year.

Advertise with NZME.It had delivered 40 per cent of this season's green crop, which yielded 8.5 million fewer trays than last season.
In organic categories, Zespri had sold 900,000 trays and delivered 30 per cent of the organic green crop, compared to 33 per cent at the same time last season. For organic SunGold, 1.8m trays had been sold with a delivery of 57 per cent of the crop, compared to 50 per cent at the same time last season.
Mathieson said despite the issues, demand for Zespri's fruit remained steady. Marketing campaigns were being prepared to drive a post-summer fruit boost to re-engage consumers.
Zespri, which also has international growers, remained confident in demand growth long-term.
The Mount Maunganui-headquartered company will hold its annual meeting on August 24 - 48 per cent of its New Zealand grower-suppliers are shareholders. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/kiwifruit-returns-not-so-juicy-this-year-as-rising-costs-and-fruit-quality-issues-bite/UFLXWCCWO5FYGIESSKLLPLTFZI/ | 2022-08-15T03:00:47Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/kiwifruit-returns-not-so-juicy-this-year-as-rising-costs-and-fruit-quality-issues-bite/UFLXWCCWO5FYGIESSKLLPLTFZI/ | true | 1 |

Even if you’ve never seen it (and if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?), you know its most famous line, delivered by Tom Hanks as washed-up former pro ballplayer who thinks he’s now slumming it by managing a team of girls in short skirts: “There’s no crying in baseball!”

Chef Alex Guarnaschelli Remembers the ‘Make or Break Moment’ She Cut Off Her Fingertip While Filming ‘Alex vs America’
Chef Alex Guarnaschelli is a titan of cooking competition shows. A “Chopped” and “Guy’s Grocery Games” regular and the host of “Supermarket Stakeout,” Guarnaschelli has also beat Bobby Flay and conquered the Kitchen Stadium to become an Iron Chef. And now that she’s put her name on her own cooking competition show, you better believe every episode is a knock-down-drag-out. In fact, a Season 2 episode quite literally got bloody when the chef suffered a scary kitchen injury — and in true Guarnaschelli fashion, refused to give up anyway.

The centre presently has two doctors and a few paramedical staff
COIMBATORE: With the district reporting several drug-related incidents in recent times, the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital (CMCH) administration has planned to increase the workforce at its de-addiction centre to help people with addiction.
The centre presently has two doctors and a few paramedical staff. Officials said more doctors and supporting staff will be enlisted to handle the centre.
CMCH dean Dr A Nirmala said the centre will be 'reopened' officially in the coming days to popularise it among the public. "The centre currently treats only single-digit cases. So we will improve the facility and increase its workforce. Subsequently, it will be inaugurated again."
The centre will rope in the AYUSH wing of the hospital to teach yoga and meditation to patients. "Besides, they will be offered counselling and taught self-control courses to bring them out of addiction. Television sets will be installed and indoor games will be organised for the patients in the centre. Staff will regularly be in touch with recovered patients and know their well-being," the dean said.
On treatment at the centre, the dean said treatment differs from person to person depending upon the severity of their addiction.

We procured automatic machines through government funds and also conducted regular free advanced health checks for the inmates," he said.

For the tenth year in a row, the Golden State Warriors will be playing on Christmas Day, hosting the Memphis Grizzlies in a rematch of last year’s second-round series. According to insider Mark Stein, the Warriors and Grizzlies will join the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks as part of the NBA’s annual slate of Christmas games, which will compete for viewers with three different NFL games this holiday.
Memphis at Golden State is another Christmas Day game on the NBA's preliminary schedule for the 2022-23 season that is on course to be made official this coming week, league sources tell me.
— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) August 13, 2022
More NBA from me: https://t.co/LGN9cVpeGP https://t.co/GpkZxsU8NI
As we all remember, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies in six games during the second round of the playoffs, on their way to winning the NBA title. That series was intense, featuring a mid-air assault on Gary Payton by Dillon Brooks, which sent GPII to the hospital and landed Brooks on Santa’s naughty list. Habitual coal recipient Draymond Green got ejected from a game for a flagrant two foul, the Memphis crowd serenaded Andre Iguodala with the traditional Carol of the Boos, and Coach Taylor Jenkins tried to blame Jordan Poole for injuring Ja Morant, a story that was more physically improbable than an obese bearded man fitting himself and a sack of presents down thousands of chimneys in one night. (Yes Virginia, Ja already had a bone bruise.)
Warriors-Grizzlies is a rivalry that was already simmering in the 2020-21 season, when Golden State defeated Memphis on the last day of the season to claim 8th place, then lost to the Grizzlies in overtime in the play-in game. It started boiling over when the Warriors re-signed Iguodala, who became the Grizzlies’ enemy when he never joined the team after a trade in the summer of 2019. Brooks said that Iguodala was missing out on them “building this dynasty,” a dynasty that so far has a 7-10 record in the playoffs.
Dillon Brooks: "They know that we’re going to come every single year. We’re young, and they’re getting old.”
— NBA Retweet (@RTNBA) May 14, 2022
Steph Curry's response: "He’s said a lot of crazy things. He called himself a dynasty already"
h/t @sam_amick pic.twitter.com/J9X4wHI76D
Also, Klay Thompson took time during his post-championship speech to call out an unnamed Grizzly (young big man Jaren Jackson Junior) for tweeting “Strength in Numbers” after Memphis handled the Warriors - missing Steph Curry, Klay, and Draymond - back in March. According to Klay, Jackson was both a “freakin’ bum” and a “freakin’ clown,” and holy canolli, those are fighting words!
Draymond predicted this matchup when he and Morant went back and forth on Twitter this June.
The champs play at home Young! Christmas Day… LJ https://t.co/n5ji0xpu0j
— Draymond Green (@Money23Green) June 19, 2022
Today Draymond facetiously invited Ja to his house for dinner after the game, after which Taylor Jenkins will blame Jordan Poole’s homemade cookies for a torn hamstring Morant gets a few weeks later.
That’s the power of your voice Young! Let’s goooo! Bring the fam to the crib for dinner after https://t.co/xs8GpKkQtE
— Draymond Green (@Money23Green) August 13, 2022
How have the Warriors done in their recent Christmas games? It’s been a mixed bag. Last year the team was short-handed, but defeated the Phoenix suns on the road thanks to Curry and Otto Porter Jr. In 2020, they lost by 39 points to the eventual champion Milwaukee Bucks, but upset the Houston Rockets the year before, despite Houston entering the game at 21-9, while the Dubs were 7-24. It may have been Damion Lee’s finest moment as a Warrior, and Draymond scored 20 points as well.
They’ve alternated wins and losses, getting hammered by the underdog Lakers in 2018, edging the Cavs in 2017, losing to Cleveland on a Kyrie game-winner in 2016, getting blitzed by the Clippers in 2015, avenging a narrow Warriors win against them the year before. Basically, the Warriors have won the games they weren’t supposed to and lost the ones they probably should have won. We can safely say this game means more to Memphis than it does to Golden State, but whether that has any predictive value at all - who knows?
It will be Klay’s first Christmas game since 2018, and he’ll probably open his presents on the boat so he can jump in the Bay to get himself psyched up. If you think about it, Klay has a lot in common with Santa Claus: He’s jolly, he’s bearded, and he likes roasting things on an open fire that come in a sack. Also, he clearly keeps a list of people who’ve said naughty things to him on Twitter, so Jaren Jackson Junior’s social media better be good for goodness sake. | https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/2022/8/14/23305123/warriors-grizzlies-matchup-christmas-day | 2022-08-15T03:34:51Z | https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/2022/8/14/23305123/warriors-grizzlies-matchup-christmas-day | true | 1 |

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2701978403682/severe-weather-statement-issued-for-clinch-coffee-ware-by-nws | 2022-08-15T03:41:34Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2701978403682/severe-weather-statement-issued-for-clinch-coffee-ware-by-nws | false | 12721 |

Initial dives in collapsed Mexican mine unsuccessful
MEXICO CITY — (AP) — Rescue divers' first attempts to reach 10 miners trapped inside a flooded coal mine since last week were stopped by debris-filled shafts and poor visibility, Mexican authorities said Thursday.
They made four attempts Wednesday and managed to remove more than a dozen pieces of wood and some 15 yards of hose, but were not able to go far.
“They found they didn’t have space to advance,” said Defense Secretary Luis Cresencio Sandoval. “With the lights they carry they don’t have the visibility they need to identify what they find.”
On Aug. 3, 15 miners were inside the coal mine in Sabinas, Coahuila about 70 miles southwest of Eagle Pass, Texas. Authorities believe the miners breached a wall containing another flooded area. Five miners managed to escape with injuries, but there has been no contact with the remaining 10.
For much of the past week authorities have used dozens of pumps to try to lower the water level inside the flooded mine shafts. Wednesday’s dives were the first attempt to enter the mine.
Coahuila Gov. Miguel Riquelme said via Twitter Wednesday that pumping would resume before more attempts were made to enter.
In June and July of 2021, cave-ins at two Coahuila mines claimed the lives of nine miners.
Mexico’s worst mining accident also occurred in Coahuila on Feb. 19, 2006, when an explosion ripped through the Pasta de Conchos mine while 73 miners were inside. Eight were rescued with injuries including serious burns. The rest died and only two of their bodies were recovered.
López Obrador’s administration promised two years ago to recover the remaining 63 bodies, a highly technical endeavor that has still not begun.

Fmr. FBI Adviser Blasts GOP for Threats in Wake of Mar-a-Lago Raid, Says He ‘Can’t Believe’ He Has to Worry About Security 12 Years After He Retired
Former FBI senior intelligence adviser and CNN counterterrorism analyst Phil Mudd told CNN Newsroom anchor Jim Acosta that FBI and CIA employees were facing threats in the aftermath of the execution of a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump’s residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
There were “real consequences” to the recent rhetoric from Trump and other Republicans, said Acosta as he introduced Mudd, noting that his guest had recently received “one of the most malicious threats” he’d ever seen in response to his commentary about the search at Mar-a-Lago.
A joint intelligence bulletin issued by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security warned of “an increase in threats to federal law enforcement and to a lesser extent other law enforcement and government officials following the FBI’s recent execution of a search warrant in Palm Beach, Florida,” including personal information about FBI personnel and their family members being posted online. Breitbart faced criticism for publishing the names of the FBI agents involved in the raid, and the judge who signed the warrant has been forced into hiding after death threats.
Mudd was concerned about these threats, he told Acosta, mentioning the gunman who was killed after attempting to breach the FBI headquarters in Cincinnati last week and the armed protesters outside the Phoenix office.
“This is a numbers game, Jim,” said Mudd, and “if politicians start to encourage people to commit acts of violence against the FBI,” even just calling to “defund the FBI,” then “there is a violent fringe that will say ‘I want to take action.'”
It might only be 1/100 of 1 percent of the “fringe” who would decide they should commit an act of violence, Mudd continued, but the FBI operates open offices that interact with the public, so even that small number would be putting FBI employees under threat.
Mudd also blasted the suggestion about defunding the FBI, made by Florida State Rep. Anthony Sabatini (R), a Trump-supporting congressional candidate, noting that it was the FBI that handled following hostile agents from China, Iran, and Russia, investigating white collar crime, and “one of the most horrific things in America, that is cyber pornography against infants.”
These cases handled by the FBI were “not a state and local problem,” and while people might have criticisms about what happened at Mar-a-Lago, “but if you say defund the FBI, let your kid be abused by an adult.”
“That’s what the FBI does,” said Mudd, so “good luck.”
Defunding the FBI was “not a realistic proposal,” Acosta agreed, and he brought up the leak of the agents’ names involved in the warrant, asking Mudd what happens in that kind of situation.
Mudd explained that the agents will have to talk with their families and their schools and workplaces, and “tell them, my name is leaked and whoever wants to commit an act of violence might come to [our] home,” plus other concerns about providing additional security and how long it might be needed, feeling like it was necessary to “look over your shoulder when you go to the grocery store” and not answer a knock at the door.
“The motive here is intimidation — they want to intimidate people in law enforcement because of the nature of the work that they’re doing,” said Acosta, mentioning the “uptick in violent rhetoric online” since the search at Mar-a-Lago, including specific threats like “kill all feds” and calling for the assassination of Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Mudd said that his experience studying extremists overseas followed some patterns he was now seeing domestically regarding the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and in reaction to the Mar-a-Lago search.
Extremists “require leadership to tell them that what they’re thinking is okay,” explained Mudd. “They require validation from that leadership to suggest to them that violence is okay.”
This as a “dangerous” situation, said Mudd, predicting we would “see another catastrophic event” as a result.
As Acosta was wrapping up the segment, he thanked Mudd and said that he hoped he was “okay,” and Mudd replied that he had “just one quick comment.”
Mudd told Acosta that he went to lunch with his girlfriend earlier that day and he had to “see who is around.”
“I can’t believe this,” said Mudd, who served with both the CIA and FBI. “I’ve been retired for 12 years. I can’t believe it.”
Mudd isn’t the only former FBI employee facing threats and renewed security concerns. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), a former FBI agent, was asked by Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan on Sunday morning if Trump was “putting a target on the back of these FBI agents?”
“Every single elected official, every single leader, needs to mind the weight of their words,” said Fitzpatrick, as Brennan interjected, “including the former president of the United States who has not called for calm.”
“Correct,” Fitzpatrick agreed. “I think everybody needs to be calling for calm.” He added that he was “very concerned” about the safety of law enforcement officers, and said that he had been notified by the FBI that his own life had been threatened recently.
“None of it is ok,” said Fitzpatrick. “None of it.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken released a statement Sunday regarding last week's attempt on the life of author and free speech activist Salman Rushdie.
The statement, after extolling Rushdie's virtues as someone who "has consistently stood up for the universal rights of freedom of expression, freedom of religion or belief and freedom of the press," noted that Iranian state institutions have encouraged violence against Rushdie for many years and that Iranian state-affiliated media recently gloated about the assassination attempt.
“This is despicable,” the statement continued.
Blinken's statement concludes by saying that the United States and its allies will always be determined to stand up to these threats, adding that Rushdie's strength, as well as the strength of everyone who has been threatened for standing up for these universal rights, "underscores the imperative of standing united as an international community against those who would challenge these universal rights."

GRAINS-Soybeans drop 2% on U.S. crop forecast, weather; corn, wheat down
By Naveen Thukral
SINGAPORE, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Chicago soybeans slid more than 2% on Monday, falling for the first time in three sessions after a U.S. government report raised the country's production forecast, with additional pressure from expectations of improved weather this week.
Corn and wheat lost more than 1% each.
"Traders were expecting a cut in soybean production but the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) raised production and yield to record highs," according to a Hightower report.
"The report news was bearish, especially the jump in yield as acreage was adjusted lower. Traders also see the cooler and wetter weather expected this week as a bearish factor."
The most-active soybean contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) lost 2.1% to $14.24-1/2 a bushel, as of 0339 GMT. Corn fell 1.4% to $6.33 a bushel and wheat gave up 1.6% to $7.93-1/4 a bushel.
U.S. soybean production will be bigger than previously forecast as better-than-expected yields will more than make up for a cut to acreage, the U.S. government said on Friday.
While dry weather has hit soybean fields hard in some farms west of the Mississippi River, yields in top-producing states like Illinois, Indiana and Ohio would make up for any shortfalls, the USDA's monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report said.
The soybean harvest will come in at a record 4.531 billion bushels, compared with the government's July harvest estimates of 14.505 billion bushels, according to the report.
However, Friday's forecast is based on U.S. crop conditions as of Aug. 1 and there has been a lot of heat and dryness hitting the crop in the last 12 days, analysts said.
Wheat and corn prices were weighed down by easing concerns about Black Sea supply.
Two more ships carrying grain left from Ukraine's Black Sea ports on Saturday, bringing the total number of vessels to depart the country under a U.N.-brokered deal to 16.
The first ship to depart Ukraine under the deal two weeks ago was approaching the Syrian port of Tartous on Sunday, after the original buyer refused the delivery over quality concerns.
In Europe, French maize crop conditions declined steeply last week to their lowest level in at least a decade, data from farm office FranceAgriMer showed, as a worsening drought and latest heatwave baked fields in the European Union's top grain producer.
Exports of Russian wheat harvested this summer for the 2022/23 marketing season are unlikely to fulfil the potential offered by an expected record crop as banks, shippers and insurers are still wary despite U.S. assurances over sanctions, traders said.
Large speculators raised their net long position in CBOT corn futures in the week to Aug. 9, regulatory data released on Friday showed.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission's weekly commitments of traders report also showed that noncommercial traders, a category that includes hedge funds, increased their net short position in CBOT wheat and net long position in soybeans.

(NewsNation) — Federal authorities have arrested the son of a man who is charged with killing at least two of the four Muslim slain in a string of homicides in New Mexico.
In a criminal complaint filed this week, prosecutors allege that Shaheen Syed lied about his address when purchasing a firearm and knew more about the killings than he let on. His father, Muhammad Syed, has been charged with killing two of the four men.
Muhammed Syed has been arrested for the murders of Aftab Hussein, 41, and Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, 27. Police believe Syed may also have killed Mohammad Ahmadi, 62 and Naeem Hussain, 25.
Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina said last week it was not clear yet whether the deaths should be classified as hate crimes or serial killings or both.
Prosecutors are seeking to detain the younger Syed, alleging he poses a flight risk and is a grave danger to the community. In a motion filed Friday, prosecutors said Syed was with his father when they purchased two firearms, as well as a mount and scope for one of the rifles used in the shootings.
Investigators also determined that cellphone tower data put Shaheen Syed in the area near where Haeem Hussain was killed.
Investigators believe the murders may have been linked to a conflict Muhammad Syed had with some of the victims. He denied any connection to the murders and told authorities he was so unnerved by the violence he was exploring moving his family to Houston.
Syed’s daughter believes her father is innocent.
“I know he is in custody but I don’t think it is true,” Lubna Syed told NewsNation affiliate KRQE. | https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/southwest/son-of-man-charged-in-new-mexico-killings-also-arrested/ | 2022-08-15T04:54:39Z | https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/southwest/son-of-man-charged-in-new-mexico-killings-also-arrested/ | true | 1 |

1991: Economic reforms
1991: Economic reforms
In hindsight, India’s liberalisation has been a mix of hits and misses.
Arguably, 1991 was not an ideal period for India to ‘open up’ its economy. There was the looming balance of payments and foreign exchange crisis; inflation had hit a staggering 16.7 per cent in August that year; fiscal deficit was 8.4 per cent; the Soviet Union, India’s long-term ally, had just collapsed; the Gulf region, which was powering up the country’s remittance economy, witnessed a devastating war; and the Congress regime under P.V. Narasimha Rao was a minority government.
That did not deter Rao and his Finance Minister Manmohan Singh from introducing economic reforms that would soon change the colour and character of the country. “No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come,” Singh quoted Victor Hugo in his Budget speech in July 1991.
As expected, the economic reforms unleashed what many would now call a spectre and others an aiding genie. Very soon, India would see high-growth years. From an average of about 4.4 per cent in the 1970s and a little further in the 1980s, GDP growth started hovering above 5.5 per cent in the 1990s and early 2000s and jumped to 7.1 and upwards of 8 per cent in the next decades. India’s GDP was valued at about $266 billion. As of 2020, before COVID-19 hit the country’s economy, its GDP was inching towards the $3 trillion mark.
In hindsight, India’s liberalisation has been a mix of hits and misses. A number of sectors that were under the licence raj, such as automotive or aviation, directly benefited from the reforms. Vehicles became much cheaper, transport became affordable, and access to places improved in general.
The global exposure helped companies attract foreign investors and new technologies. This created avenues for more employment. The service sector boomed, although many economists now say the growth in IT services was not really because of the reforms but because of global advances in technology.
The purchasing power of average Indians improved, from a little over $1,000 to about $6,000 now. Parameters such as infant mortality rates, foreign direct investment, and labour force employment improved significantly.
Today, economists point to some of the negative fallouts. The contribution of farming, which continues to feed more than half of the population, to GDP went downhill during the reform years. The high growth years did not really convert into meaningful growth in jobs, especially in the rural sector and for the urban poor. The focal shift from big capitalists in general in the 1980s and 1990s to a select list of crony capitalists made a handful of Indians very rich, widening the income gap. As of 2020, India’s Gini Coefficient, a measure of income inequality, was 82.3, indicating the rising inequality.
As the reforms also meant more privatisation of public sector companies and increased withdrawal of the state from crucial sectors such as education, health, and priority sector spending, India’s rich got richer, while the poor were robbed of social security and formal jobs.
Overall, it would seem that liberalisation did not lead to greater diversification of the economy nor to labour-intensive activity. Critics also say that it led to environmental destruction, collapse of the welfare state, siphoning off of public money into private hands, stock market scams, and a riot of neoliberal economics. | https://frontline.thehindu.com/economy/india-at-75-epochal-moments-1991-economic-reforms/article65726078.ece | 2022-08-15T05:12:51Z | https://frontline.thehindu.com/economy/india-at-75-epochal-moments-1991-economic-reforms/article65726078.ece | false | 1 |

Emperor Ai of Han died from illness aged just 26 on August 15, 1 BCE. The young emperor achieved little of note during his six-year reign. However, he did bequeath us the lovely phrase, ‘the passion of the cut sleeve’.
Homosexuality and same-sex intimacy went by many names over the years — most of them dreadful. Tribadism as a vulgar term for lesbianism lasted about three centuries. But Sapphic was longer-lasting — and nicer — originating as it did with Sappho, the lyric poet from the beautiful island of Lesbos.
Sodomy and Buggery, although descriptive of anal sex in general, became associated mainly with homosexuality because of the many same-sex anal couplings that prompted criminal charges.
English courts once prosecuted men for ‘the detestable, horrid, and abominable crime (among Christians not to be named) called buggery’.
I can never quite get why they ordered Christians not to name the crime, but then immediately named it!
But then, holier-than-thou Bible-thumpers never did make much sense.
Maybe they worried that like ‘Beetlejuice’ if voiced three times, it might happen.
Buggery, buggery, buggery. 👅🍑
Nope, nothing. 😟
Buggery?
Crickets…
Well, perhaps some other time. 🤞
The love that dare not speak its name
Of course, Oscar Wilde later helped Lord Alfred Douglas to reword the loathsome legalese.
‘The love that dare not speak its name’ sounds much nicer.
But the Chinese were way ahead of Europeans.
During the Zhou dynasty (1046–771 BCE), Duke Ling of Wey enjoyed the affections of a particularly handsome young male courtier named Mizi Xia.
And Mizi Xia was not only easy on the eye, but also a selfless and devoted lover.
Once, he bit into a peach and discovered it to be especially delicious. Rather than greedily devour the tasty morsel himself, he offered the rest of the peach to the Duke. The gesture touched Duke Ling and became the stuff of legend.
For centuries afterwards, Chinese literati referred to same-sex relationships as the love of the bitten peach. Mizi Xia’s name became a byword for a desirable young same-sex lover.
Sadly, it didn’t end well. Mizi Xia grew older and his looks faded. Duke Ling tired of him, a common enough fate for great beauties, regardless of gender.
But worse, the fickle duke tarnished the emblematic tale of the bitten peach. He now described an act he once celebrated for its generosity as an insult, claiming Mizi Xia tried to feed him leftovers. Bastard!
The Passion of the Cut Sleeve
A few centuries later, young Ai of Han became the latest of a long line of married emperors with male companions listed in their official histories.
Ai fell head over heels for a young official named Dong Xian. He lavished gifts and titles on his lover. Within a couple of years, Dong was supreme commander of the armed forces and Ai’s heir, officially designated to succeed the sickly emperor on the throne.
One afternoon, as the pair napped, a servant arrived with a message and woke the emperor. But Ai could not rise from the bed. Dong was lying on one of his long, flowing sleeves. The tender-hearted emperor refused to disturb his sleeping lover. So he sent for scissors and cut off the sleeve.
You want to know what love is? Cutting off your sleeve. That’s the greatest love of all.
Historians thereafter described the pair’s relationship as ‘the passion of the cut sleeve’.
Again, the story does not end well. Although, this time, the pair remained devoted unto the death. But Ai of Han died young, and his relatives then prevented Dong’s accession and forced him to suicide.
About five centuries later, the poet Liu Zun chose to forget the unhappy endings and instead celebrate the two greatest same-sex love stories of ancient China.
“Favors of the cut sleeve are generous,
Love of the half-eaten peach never dies.”

Zack Shepherd recognized from an early age how important his father, Steve, was to him and his four siblings.
He was Shepherd’s support system for difficult situations. He was his biggest fan when he played football growing up in Mesa and when he got to high school at Williams Field. He was there every step of the way when Shepherd led the Black Hawks to an undefeated record and state title in 2016.
As important as it was to have Steve there for him growing up, Shepherd knew how important it was to his father to be there for his kids. That was something Steve didn’t have, as his father was an alcoholic and abusive. He vowed to never go down that path, and he stayed true to his word.
“I get one extreme from the other. My dad was a great father, but his wasn’t so much,” Shepherd said. “He’s told me stories my whole life. One year, when he was a kid, all he got for Christmas was a beer and an orange. So, every year in our stocking we get an IBC root beer in our stocking along with an orange.
“It’s a reminder we need to be grateful for what we have. It’s a constant reminder what we truly have in my father and my parents because there’s tons of people who don’t have what I have.”
The support Shepherd had and still has from Steve has been impactful. That’s why he created Fatherhood Initiative to raise awareness and promote how important fatherhood is.
Shepherd’s journey to starting his non-profit began in Italy when he served a church mission. He spent much of that time on lockdown due to the pandemic. It was there he had the opportunity to meet with Jimmer Fredette, a former standout basketball player at BYU.
Fredette shared his non-profit, which then motivated Shepherd to start creating his own. When he returned from his mission, he began his football career at Southern Utah University. He played a year before deciding this season to hang up his cleats. Though, he still attends SUU.
Fatherhood Initiative officially got off the ground last year while he was sitting in a classroom. His professor mentioned non-profit organizations and Shepherd decided it was time to take the plunge. He did research, started a website and officially announced Fatherhood Initiative on his Instagram.
The support he received was unimaginable.
“It blew me away how much support I got from it,” Shepherd said. “It gave me that motivation to keep going. My dad has been way on board, my mom has been way on board because she knows the impact my dad made on all of us growing up. My parents both are super stoked and I’m excited to see where it goes.”
Fatherhood Initiative’s mission is simple: They want to promote fatherhood.
Shepherd said the organization is planning speaking engagements at local high schools that will help younger generations understand the impact fathers make on children, a spouse and loved ones. They will also encourage responsible fatherhood for young men and provide resources and helpful information to current fathers.
Overall, they aim to create a more father-present society, something that Shepherd believes will make an impact based on his research.
He found that 71 percent of high school dropouts come from fatherless homes. Sixty-three percent of youth suicides also stem from homes without a father present. Currently, there are more than 17 million children growing up without a father in the U.S. Shepherd also found that 40 percent of all births take place out of wedlock.
“There are statistics I want to change,” Shepherd said. “One of our slogans is, ‘Everyone deserves a dad,’ and I think that is so true. As I go to speak with groups, my goal is to spread the good that comes with fatherhood.”
Shepherd’s team with Fatherhood Initiative is small for now. He is currently in the process of applying for 501-c3 status, which takes time.
He still works and attends SUU, where he is studying business and political science. This fall, he will be an intern in Washington D.C. for Utah Sen. Mitt Romney.
Fatherhood Initiative stays in the forefront of his mind. He wants to make fatherhood cool, a lifestyle and a goal for those in his generation.
Shepherd is determined to get Fatherhood Initiative to succeed. It’s the same level of determination he had on the football field. Just like he did at Williams Field, he wants to make an impact.
“Every day when I go to work on this organization, I know there are a lot of things I need to get done. But little by little, step by step, I’ll get to where I want it to be. That’s exactly how it was in football.”

Palakkad (Kerala) [India], August 15 (ANI): A CPI (M) local committee member was hacked to death, said the officials on Sunday.
The deceased, identified as Shajahan, was killed at around 9.15 PM near his house last night in Marutharode, Palakkad.
According to initial reports by police, Shajahan was attacked b a group of 5 to 8 people.
"A group of eight people reached and attacked Shajahan near his house yesterday night," said police.
The police also stressed on the possibility of a political rivalry in the case.
"He was accused in a political murder case and we suspect this too is a part of political rivalry," added police.
Further investigations are underway.
Earlier on April 19, three people were arrested in connection with the murder of a Popular Front of India (PFI) leader, Subair who was hacked to death in front of his father in Kerala's Palakkad district informed the police.
According to the police, the three arrested persons have been identified as RSS workers Ramesh, Arumugham, and Saravanan.
Notably, an RSS worker, Srinivasan, was hacked to death in Palakkad within 24 hours of the PFI leader's murder. The BJP had alleged that the Social Democratic Party of India, the political offshoot of PFI, was behind the killing.
"The motive that we understand is that the accused Ramesh is a close friend of Sanjith, the RSS worker who was murdered. Before the murder of Sanjith, he had told Ramesh that if something happens to him Subair will have some role. The same team attempted to murder Subair twice before," ADGP (Law and Order) Vijay Sakhare told reporters.
Subair, 43, was allegedly hacked to death at Elappully in Kerala's Palakkad district while he was returning home after offering prayers in a mosque on Friday afternoon. (ANI)

During the April-July period, the central government achieved more than a third of the direct tax collection for this financial year as personal tax collection exceeded corporation tax mop-up amid tightened enforcement and compliance measures, according to official figures.
Overall direct tax collections, net of refunds, including corporation and personal income tax, grew by 40 per cent in the first four months of FY23 to Rs 5 trillion, which is nearly 35 per cent of the target of Rs 14.2 trillion for the whole fiscal year, a report by Livemint stated.
Meanwhile, direct tax refunds increased by 38 per cent to Rs 67,000 crore.
As the central government has cut taxes on petrol and diesel to tame rising rates driven by a spike in global crude prices, robust direct tax collections will help the government bridge the shortfall in indirect taxes.
Personal income tax collection posted a growth of 52 per cent YoY at Rs 2.67 trillion, while corporation tax collection stood at Rs 45,000 crore.
The government officials attributed the rise in direct tax collections to tightened enforcement and compliance using technology including the use of the Annual Information Statement (AIS).
Introduced last year, the AIS provides comprehensive information to taxpayers on their financial transactions. The purpose of the new AIS is to make it easier for taxpayers to file their returns.
“We have seen a sharp increase in self-assessment tax mop up, which could be a result of the introduction of AIS and data collection from different source agencies," said a government official, quoted Livemint.
Self-assessment tax jumped 275 per cent to Rs 43,500 crore in the April-July period, while personal income tax collection stood at 38 per cent of the FY23 budget target of Rs 7 trillion.
On the other hand, corporation tax collection was up by 32 per cent to Rs 2.2 trillion, against Rs 6.73 trillion of personal income tax.

An Australian man was charged with three weapons offences on Monday after he allegedly used a handgun inside Canberra Airport to fire multiple shots at airport windows.
Nobody was injured during the shooting near the check-in counters on Sunday afternoon. The incident prompted officials to temporarily evacuate the airport and ground planes for more than three hours.
Ali Rachid Ammoun appeared on Monday via video link at the Australian Capital Territory Magistrates Court. The 63-year-old from New South Wales state did not apply for bail and will remain jailed until the next hearing on September 5. Mr Ammoun has yet to enter a plea.
Police say Mr Ammoun arrived at the airport in the capital at about 1:20 pm and sat on some seats near the check-in counters. After about five minutes, police said, he fired multiple shots from a handgun into the windows before he was arrested by federal police who were stationed at the airport.
“To my understanding and to what I can see from the crime scene, the male has let the shots off at glass within the terminal and there was not shots directed at people or persons, passengers or staff,” detective acting superintendent Dave Craft told reporters.
Canberra Airport chief executive Stephen Byron said the gunman was in a public area of the airport.
“That’s distinct from the secure area of the terminal which is where passengers are screened and checked for malicious items before they board aircraft,” Mr Byron told reporters.
After clearing the airport and checking to make sure Mr Ammoun was acting alone, authorities resumed airport operations and flights soon after 5pm.
Mr Ammoun has been charged with discharging a firearm at a building, unlawful possession of a firearm, and discharging a firearm near a person causing alarm.
Lily Thomson, a reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation who happened to be at the airport at the time, told the broadcaster she heard loud bangs and then saw people running towards her.
“I just assumed people were running for their flight,” she said.
She realised something was wrong when people started screaming “Run!”.
The incident left her feeling shaken, she said.
“It’s just the feeling of not knowing that’s quite terrifying,” she told the broadcaster. “As soon as we got out, people were on their phones to loved ones, hugging each other, that kind of thing.”
During his court appearance, Ammoun’s legal aid solicitor asked the judge to prohibit the Australian Broadcasting Corporation from reporting on the case.
The application was opposed by prosecutors and the judge declined it, saying it was an open court and the broadcaster had a right to report on the case.
Mr Ammoun is scheduled to undergo a mental-health evaluation.

The country is located between Colombia and Peru, the largest cocaine producers in the world, and is facing a wave of crime linked to drug trafficking, which leaves a scenario of terror.
An explosion in Guayaquil attributed to organized crime by the government of Ecuador left five dead and 16 injured this Sunday, 14. “Organized crime mercenaries, who drugged the economy for a long time, now attack with explosives. It’s not a problem for the Ecuadorian police. It is a declaration of war on the State,” said Interior Minister Patricio Carrillo on his Twitter account. The incident, the causes of which have not yet been detailed by the police, also caused destruction in eight properties and two cars, according to the National Risk Management Service (SNGR). It was a “major explosion,” police said on Twitter. Ecuador is located between Colombia and Peru, the largest cocaine producers in the world, and faces a wave of crime linked to drug trafficking, which leaves a scene of terror with decapitated bodies and hanging from bridges, in the style of Mexican cartels. The clashes extend to the prisons, where, since February 2021, there have been seven riots that have resulted in the death of around 400 inmates. “Or we unite to face it [o crime organizado], or the price will be even higher for society”, warned Carrillo in his message. Last year, Ecuador, which has a population of 18 million people, recorded a rate of 14 murders per 100,000 inhabitants, almost double that of 2020.

VENTURA, Calif. (AP) — A man once briefly married to Britney Spears has been convicted of aggravated trespassing and battery at the pop star’s June wedding.
Jason Alexander, 40, pleaded no contest to the two misdemeanor counts in a California court, prosecutors in Ventura County announced Thursday. The Ventura County judge sentenced him to the 64 days he has already served in jail.
Prosecutors dropped charges of felony stalking and misdemeanor vandalism.
Spears married longtime boyfriend Sam Asghari at her home in Thousand Oaks, California, on June 9, in front of several dozen guests including Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton and Madonna.
Alexander, a childhood friend of Spears to whom she was married for less than three days in 2004, appeared uninvited at the house before the ceremony while livestreaming on Instagram.
He got inside the house and up to the locked door of Spears’ bedroom when she was inside getting ready for the wedding, according to testimony at a preliminary hearing.
Alexander refused to leave the property when told, battered a security guard who tried to remove him, and damaged a door, prosecutors said.
After he entered his plea, a judge issued a new protective order forbidding him from coming within 100 yards of Spears or the security guard.
Alexander’s attorney, Sandra Bisignani, did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment. She previously said in court that there was no evidence he had any intention of harming Spears.
Spears’ lawyer declined comment.

Sam Lipsyte's 2004 novel Home Land took the form of one man's discursive update to his alumni newsletter — albeit one packed with more brutal, bitterly funny truth than is typical of the form. ("Let me stand on the rooftop of my reckoning and shout naught but the indisputable: I did not pan out.")
That book, which was embraced with a swift and cultlike fervor by lovers of pitch-black comedy, evinced three aspects of Lipsyte's work that emerge even sharper in his new novel, The Ask: sentences you can bounce a quarter off of; pleasantly shaggy plotting that makes only a dutiful nod toward the notion of narrative urgency; and jokes. Good ones, that land.
The Ask's Milo Burke is a frustrated husband, worried father and office drone recently let go from his position at the unremarkable New York City university where, decades before, he'd been a semipromising art student. The job he'd fallen into was one ex-semiprodigy Milo found cruelly ironic: "Our group raised funds and materials for the university's arts programs. People paid vast sums of money so that their progeny could take hard drugs in suitable company, draw from life on their laptops, do radical things with video cameras and caulk."
But soon after he's fired for insulting the fatuous daughter of a particularly wealthy university patron, the school is contacted by one of Milo's old classmates, now a powerful and ludicrously wealthy man. Milo is offered a second chance: If he can get his old friend to donate, and donate big, he can have his old job back.
You can count on Lipsyte to sculpt sentences of muscular prose loaded with solid, old-fashioned gags, and thank God for that. He's determined that the comic novel must be comical, not simply humorous. Not for him, that now-pandemic species of light, supercilious literary irony that inspires in the reader a knowing smirk. Lipsyte aims instead for the gut laugh of rueful recognition: the noise that's forced out of you upon reading a thought you're ashamed to have thought, and have never told to anyone.
Which is why, as The Ask ambles along its picaresque and circuitous pathway, you so rarely find yourself growing impatient. Lipsyte's language is beautifully crafted stuff, yes, but he employs it in service to a larger, coherent purpose that makes his many narrative digressions worth the detour. Those jokes, for example, about Milo's son's new-age daycare center, which closes suddenly one morning "due to pedagogical conflicts," are just one way The Ask sets about dissecting Lipsyte's true subject: class in America.
You feel it most keenly in the unbridgeable gap that stretches between sad, hapless Milo and his old friend Purdy, a hyperarticulate (and just plain hyper) tycoon who has replaced his cocaine habit with binges at all-night candy stores. The two men were once classmates, housemates, confidants and friends, but even as Milo gets drawn into Purdy's world of impossible wealth and embarrassing secrets, Milo remains a clumsy interloper, a born outsider.
It's biting stuff, but there's heart here, too, especially in Lipsyte's depiction of the relationship between Milo and his young son Bernie. There's heart, but not schmaltz: Again and again, Lipsyte shows Milo addressing his son as if the boy were an adorable towheaded moppet out of a '60s sitcom, only to have Bernie respond like some kind of thoughtless, self-obsessed creature completely incapable of empathy. Which is to say: like a real kid.
By the time The Ask is over, Milo will have endured much larger injuries to his already hemorrhaging self-esteem. What's singular about the novel — what inspires the laughter of rueful recognition, page after page — is the sharply observed way Lipsyte shows us a man so like our ordinary, unheroic selves: A man who doesn't so much triumph over adversity as find a way to broker a deal with it.

GameFi Company Murasaki Closes €1.5M Seed Round Led by Japanese Incubate Fund
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Murasaki, a game studio building decentralized games on the blockchain, has just closed a €1.5 million seed round led by Incubate Fund, one of the largest Japanese venture capital firms specializing in seed stage investing.
As Japanese and European serial entrepreneurs and developers operating out of The Netherlands, Murasaki is on a mission to disrupt the GameFi economy. We are currently witnessing a transformation of the gaming industry, with emerging technologies like the blockchain opening new doors and creating endless revenue opportunities for both players and creators. In true Web3 spirit, Murasaki aims to harness the power of community and make a future game engine available to anyone wanting to build blockchain titles.
One of the co-founders, Shunsuke Sasaki, is a serial entrepreneur and angel investor specializing as a game producer. In 2007, after two years, he left and founded Pokelabo Inc, a mobile gaming company. GREE, a Japanese mobile gaming giant, acquired Pokelabo in 2012 for $173.8m. Pokelabo produced some famous titles, such as SINoALICE, that are well- known worldwide. The core founding team from Pokelabo joins Murasaki to build multiple game titles.
With this €1.5 million investment led by Incubate Fund, Murasaki will be able to strengthen its commitment to developing the next generation of decentralized, community-powered games. Murasaki's Cyberstella, an NFT-focused game with a new take on the play and earn model, is set for release in early 2023. Meanwhile, an NFT and official token launch will follow the beta version release in late 2022.
Shinnosuke Murata, Murasaki's CEO and Co-Founder, said: "I was attracted to blockchain technology, which allows consensus building without racial or national boundaries, and founded Murasaki in February 2022."
"This investment round is incredibly exciting for us, as it will allow us to further develop our assets and optimize the beta version of Cyberstella, adding new features, worlds, missions and environments. We are also planning to develop a subsequent title as well. We can't wait for people to discover what playing a blockchain title is really like."
Keisuke Wada at Incubate Fund said: "We are thrilled to partner with the Murasaki team, formed by two experienced Japanese entrepreneurs, Mr. Murata and Mr. Sasaki, in taking on the Game-Fi challenge. We look forward to transcending national borders and pioneering an ever-evolving frontier."

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2699701568122/geno-smith-to-start-seahawks-preseason-opener-vs-steelers | 2022-08-15T07:22:30Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2699701568122/geno-smith-to-start-seahawks-preseason-opener-vs-steelers | false | 12721 |
Imbert calls for accurate reporting on Tobago land-acquisition issue
FINANCE Minister Colm Imbert is reiterating that the houses and lands in Bon Accord, Tobago, which the State sought to take possession of on Thursday for the airport terminal expansion project, were not the subject of any court matter.
He was responding in a media statement on Sunday to an editorial in a daily newspaper (not the Newsday).
Imbert questioned why the newspaper published inaccuracies which had been corrected, not only by his ministry but the Judiciary as well.
Describing the editorial as “utter nonsense,” Imbert rubbished claims that the airport project has been the responsibility of the Minister of Finance for the last 30 years with the land-acquisition process taking “roughly a year.”
“It is a matter of public record that the contract for the design and construction of the new airport terminal building in Tobago under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance was signed on January 28, 2020, which is two-and-a-half years ago, not 30 years ago.”
He added, the land-acquisition process started in 2019, prior to his ministry signing the contract to construct the airport.
Referring to what he called “doubling down” he accused the newspaper of not correcting previous inaccurate information, but instead repeating them.
“If it is deemed to be intemperate for correcting the public record and rebuking a newspaper for publishing rubbish in a situation which the Judiciary has quite appropriately described as volatile, then so be it. The Minister of Finance will continue to point out and expose this type of media misconduct as and when required. The public has a right to know the true facts, as opposed to misinformation.”
On Friday, the Judiciary in a media release said there is no injunction in place. It said an undertaking had been given by the Minister of Agriculture, Lands and Fisheries, through the Attorney General, to not act against other occupiers and/or owners – not the ones who were being removed on Thursday.
That undertaking, arising out of court hearings on August 8 and 9, continues until August 26.
Tobago West MP Shamfa Cudjoe said, to date the State has paid over $210 million to acquire lands for the expansion of airport. | https://newsday.co.tt/2022/08/15/imbert-calls-for-accurate-reporting-on-tobago-land-acquisition-issue/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=imbert-calls-for-accurate-reporting-on-tobago-land-acquisition-issue | 2022-08-15T07:25:17Z | https://newsday.co.tt/2022/08/15/imbert-calls-for-accurate-reporting-on-tobago-land-acquisition-issue/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=imbert-calls-for-accurate-reporting-on-tobago-land-acquisition-issue | true | 1 |

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Banks along parts of the Colorado River where water once streamed are now just caked mud and rock as climate change makes the Western U.S. hotter and drier.
More than two decades of drought have done little to deter the region from diverting more water than flows through it, depleting key reservoirs to levels that now jeopardize delivery and hydropower production.
Cities and farms in seven U.S. states are bracing for cuts this week as officials stare down a deadline to propose unprecedented reductions to their use of the water, setting up what’s expected to be the most consequential week for Colorado River policy in years.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in June told the states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming — to figure out how to use at least 15% less water next year, or have restrictions imposed on them. On top of that, the bureau is expected to publish hydrology projections that will trigger additional cuts already agreed to.
“The challenges we are seeing today are unlike anything we have seen in our history,” Camille Touton, the bureau’s commissioner, said in a U.S. Senate hearing that month.
Tensions over the extent of the cuts and how to spread them equitably have flared, with states pointing fingers and stubbornly clinging to their water rights despite the looming crisis.
“It’s not fun sitting around a table figuring out who is going to sacrifice and how much,” said Bill Hasencamp, the Colorado River resources manager at Metropolitan Water District, which provides water to most of Southern California.
Representatives from the seven states convened in Denver last week for eleventh-hour negotiations behind closed doors. Officials party to discussions said the most likely targets for cuts are farmers in Arizona and California. Agricultural districts in those states are asking to be paid generously to shoulder that burden.
The Colorado River cascades down from the Rocky Mountains into the arid deserts of the Southwest. It’s the primary water supply for 40 million people. About 70% of its water goes toward irrigation, sustaining a $15 billion-a-year agricultural industry that supplies 90% of the United States’ winter vegetables.
The river is divided among Mexico and the seven U.S. states under a series of agreements that date back a century, to a time when more water flowed through the river. But climate change has transformed the river’s hydrology, providing less snowmelt and causing hotter temperatures and more evaporation. As it’s yielded less water, the states have agreed to cuts tied to the levels of reservoirs that store river water.
Last year, federal officials for the first time declared a water shortage, triggering cuts to Nevada, Arizona and Mexico’s share of the river to help prevent the two largest reservoirs — Lake Powell and Lake Mead — from dropping low enough to threaten hydropower production and stop water from flowing through their dams.
The proposals for supplemental cuts due this week have inflamed disagreement between upper basin states — Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming — and lower basin states — Arizona, California and Nevada — over how to spread the pain. The lower basin states use most of the water and have thus far shouldered most of the cuts. The upper basin states have historically not used their full allocations but want to maintain their water rights to plan for population growth.
Gene Shawcroft, the chairman of Utah’s Colorado River Authority, believes the lower basin states should take most of the cuts because they use most of the water and their full allocations.
He said it was his job to protect Utah’s allocation for growth projected for decades ahead: “The direction we’ve been given as water purveyors is to make sure we have water for the future.”
In a letter last month, representatives from the upper basin states proposed a five-point conservation plan that they said would save water but argued most of the cuts needed to come from the lower basin. The plan didn’t commit to any numbers.
“The focus is getting the tools in place and working with water users to get as much as we can rather than projecting a water number,” Chuck Cullom, the executive director of the Upper Colorado River Commission, told The Associated Press.
That position, however, is unsatisfactory to many in lower basin states already facing cuts.
“It’s going to come to a head particularly if the upper basin states continue their negotiating position, saying, ‘We’re not making any cuts,’” said Bruce Babbitt, who served as Interior secretary from 2003-2011.
Lower basin states have yet to go public with plans to contribute, but officials said last week that they had a tentative proposal to reduce consumption that fell slightly short of the federal government’s request to cut 2 to 4 million acre-feet.
An acre-foot of water is enough to serve 2-3 households annually.
Hasencamp, the Metropolitan Water District’s Colorado River resource manager, said all the districts in the state that draw from the river had agreed to contribute water or money to the plan, pending approval by their respective boards. Water districts, in particular the Imperial Irrigation District, have been adamant that any voluntary cut does not curtail their high priority water rights.
Southern California cities likely will be putting up money that could fund fallowing farmland in places like Imperial County and water managers are considering leaving water they’ve stored in Lake Mead as part of their contribution.
Arizona will likely be hit hard with reductions. The state has in the past few years shouldered much of the cuts and with its growing population and robust agricultural industry, has less wiggle room than its neighbors to take on more, said Arizona Department of Water Resources Director Tom Buschatzke. Some tribes in Arizona have also contributed to propping up Lake Mead in the past, and could play an outsized role in any new proposal.
Irrigators around Yuma, Arizona, have proposed taking 925,000 acre-feet less of Colorado River water in 2023 and leaving it in Lake Mead if they’re paid $1.4 billion, or $1,500 per acre-foot. The cost is far above the going rate, but irrigators defended their proposal as fair considering the cost to grow crops and get them to market.
Wade Noble, the coordinator for a coalition that represents Yuma water rights holders, said it was the only proposal put forth publicly that includes actual cuts, rather than theoretical cuts to what users are allocated on paper.
Some of the compensation-for-conservation funds could come from a $4 billion drought earmark in the Inflation Reduction Act under consideration in Washington, U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona told the AP.
Sinema acknowledged paying farmers to conserve wasn’t a long-term solution: “In the short-term, however, in order to meet our day-to-day needs and year-to-year needs, ensuring that we’re creating financial incentives for non-use will help us get through,” she said.
Babbitt, too, said money in the legislation will not “miraculously solve the problem” and prices for water must be reasonable to avoid gouging because most water users will take a hit.
“There’s no way that these cuts can all be paid for at a premium price for years and years,” he said.

I'm a journalist and writer. You can check out my work on my website: https://jackboreham.com/
In this slogging thread, the team at Hackernoon discusses the best pizza topping. Be warned, this slogging thread gets a bit spicy, with our team members heavily disagreeing on what the best topping is.
This Slogging thread by Jack Boreham, Mónica Freitas, Sara Pinto, Limarc Ambalina, Adrian Morales and Blake Cram occurred in slogging's official #random channel, and has been edited for readability.
INCOMING...heavily debated topic: what is the Best Pizza topping?
Jack Boreham PINEAPPLE! PINEAPPLE! 🍍 AND CHEESE! 🧀
Jack Boreham I'm gonna go ahead and say it: pineapple (please don't shoot)
OH GOSHHHHH Mónica Freitas Sara Pinto, naaa to be honest it's not half bad, but not the best, right Limarc Ambalina? 😁 Mónica Freitas Sara Pinto how can it beat a pepperoni though....
Jack Boreham I'll fight you on this! I'll change pepperoni for mushrooms or peppers easily. Jack Boreham and NOW I'm hungry
Mónica Freitas HOWWW, pepperoni was gifted to us from the gods 😂 are you vegan or veggie? 😂
Nah, I couldn't give up on meat. I just find it an overpowering flavor; it erases the rest of the pizza. 😂. Speaking of veggie, Sara Pinto come through. What's the perfect pizza like?
Jack Boreham I can trade pepperoni for pineapple every day, but I guess I'm biased since I'm a vegetarian 😂. Mónica Freitas Jack Boreham I'll tell you what - olives are a pretty strong runner up!
I'll be honest Jack Boreham the fact that the first answer to this thread were pineapple from 2 separate people caused me to ignore this thread for 22 hours. I'm almost offended. I'm with jack that you can't beat good ol' pepperoni, and my second would be bacon. I wish I had the strength to go vegan
I'll give an out of the box one. There's this place in my hometown called A Little Pizza Heaven, and their biggest differentiator is that they top the crust and the pizza off with a smear of special garlic butter......the taste is HEAVENLY
Mónica Freitas mushrooms are slimy; I don't want to add any more slime to my greasy pizza😂. Pep is crisp, tasty and compliments the cheese and balances out the texture. Mushroom belongs in a soup and a fry up (what we British call a proper breakfast) or perhaps a mushroom tartare (I don't know what it is, I heard it on Masterchef). 😂
Sara Pinto, I respect that; I wish to go vegan, but the meats are far too good!
Limarc Ambalina, you know what? I completely agree with you! I didn't want to go full ham, as I was outnumbered... but I couldn't agree more. I'm offended as well 😉! That pizza sounds amazing, bro 💪 .
Limarc Ambalina Garlic butter on pizza... that's what I'll dream about when I go to sleep today. Jack Boreham Haha, I respect what you're saying as well, but I have to challenge you to do a pizza without the meat (I won't even mention pineapple) 😂
Jack Boreham soup???? mental! ahahah. Limarc Ambalina Jack Boreham Stop pineapple hate! Are we moving to the cereal first vs. milk first discussing next?! 😂
Sara Pinto you mean veggie pizza. I've had one and I like it 😂
Mónica Freitas never had a good old mushroom soup...it's the bee's knees 😂. Mónica Freitas hahahhhaha #newthreadstarting. I bet you can't list three reasons why pineapple is better 😁
Jack Boreham It's not something I've ever seen here. Maybe someday I'll try that soup out. If you go ahead with that thread, we best build a wall between this community ahaha.
Jack Boreham challenge accepted:
I firmly stand with pineapple belonging on pizza. A pineapple and ham pizza? I'm there, save me a slice. 😂
Yay, team pineapple!
Holy smokes. Never thought I'd see so many pineapple advocates. I don't think it's the best topping... but I think pineapple can be delicious, but it's easy to f--- up. I think there are a few essential "pineapple on pizza rules"...
You have to break up that sweetness with one of 3 things:
As far as best toppings, I think I side more with Jack Boreham and Limarc Ambalina that Pepperoni is the classic barometer for quality at a pizza joint. If you're vegetarian then it's the Margherita slice (maybe with light anchovies in NY). To me, either of those slices shows off a pizzerias skill without anything in the way.
Blake Cram, a man that speaks the truth! Couldn't have put it better myself. Mónica Freitas Sara Pinto any counterpoints before we declare VICTORY?
Yes! My preference! Ahahaha | https://hackernoon.com/what-is-the-best-pizza-topping-slogging-insights | 2022-08-15T07:58:53Z | https://hackernoon.com/what-is-the-best-pizza-topping-slogging-insights | true | 1 |
When a massive earthquake struck Haiti, killing more than 230,000 people, it was almost impossible for grown-ups to avoid the tragic headlines.
Now, nine months later, Haitian-born author Edwidge Danticat has found a way to share the earthquake story with an audience that was largely shielded from it — children.
Danticat has written a children's book about a 7-year-old boy named Junior who gets buried in the rubble of his Haitian home during the quake and is rescued eight days later.
She tells NPR's Linda Wertheimer that she began writing the book, Eight Days: A Story of Haiti, in an effort to explain the ordeal to her 5-year-old daughter.
"When the earthquake first happened, my 5-year-old ... kept asking us about her [Haitian grandmother]," Danticat says. "She eventually blurted out a question like, 'Is Grandma under her house?' "
She says that because she and her husband were so wrapped up in and worried about their Haitian family members, they didn't get around to answering their daughter's questions until now.
"I wrote this story to try to explain to her what had happened," Danticat says, "but also to find a kind of hopeful moment in it so it wasn't, at least to a child, all devastation."
Danticat's book opens with Junior's rescue eight days after the earthquake, then goes on to describe what he did during his eight days in the rubble. He flies a kite with his best friend, Oscar, who was with him during the quake. He plays a game of marbles with neighborhood kids. But, of course, none of that actually happened.
"It's a mix of imagination, but also memory, because one of the things I kept wondering about the children [was] what kept them still — because I have two small children and they don't stay very still very long," Danticat says. "I was wondering what resources they would pull on, and that's how I came to this use of imagination for Junior."
Danticat says that while the book isn't intended for very young kids, it can be therapeutic for their older peers.
"I've read it to some children in Haiti and what I've seen when I've read it to different children is that a conversation begins, and we start talking openly about sad things," Danticat says, "not only the earthquake, but other things that sadden children."
She says she has found that there are a lot of Haitian children who can relate to the story of a little kid buried in darkness, not knowing if he'll be rescued.
It's a sad story, and it gets even gloomier on Junior's fifth day in the rubble when he imagines playing soccer with his friends. After the game they all sit down to rest, but Oscar — Junior's best friend — is tired and goes to sleep. He never wakes up after that.
"A lot of children were in that situation," Danticat says. "When I read it to this particular group of children in one of the camps, one of the little girls raised her hand and said, 'Come on, tell me straight: Did Oscar die or not?' And it's funny, especially in the midst of tragedy like this, children seeking directness and facing an adult that's trying to go around it. But for a lot of these children — even Haitian-American children who are removed from what happened — there's still the reality of lost loved ones and you can't pretend that it didn't happen."
Danticat says the book isn't based on one real story so much as it is derived from many, including that of Danticat's cousin — who was lost in the rubble along with his 10-year-old son.
Still, the author says that at its core, Eight Days is a hopeful story. Illustrated with the bright and colorful paintings of Alix Delinois, the book shows the countryside outside Port-au-Prince in the classic style of Haitian painting. It's a portrait of a pre-earthquake Haiti that's largely gone today — but that still survives in Haitian memory.
"When you live outside of the place where you were born, there is a tendency to idealize it," Danticat says of the lost Haiti.
"But what's great about memory, what's great about art," she says, "is that we can reinterpret and re-create and hopefully dream a better world."

The author who has dominated epic storytelling for three decades is back with another ambitious saga. Ken Follett's new novel is called Fall of Giants, and as the 985-page first installment of a trilogy covering the 20th century, it certainly qualifies as epic.
So does Follett's career. He made his name writing spy novels like Eye of the Needle and turned to historical fiction with works like Pillars of the Earth. His sales have topped the 100-million-copy mark.
Follett tells NPR's Guy Raz that this time, he "wanted to say to the reader right away, 'OK, this isn’t going to be a story all about kings and queens and prime ministers and presidents. It’s also going to be a story about ordinary people struggling to lead their lives.' "
Fall of Giants, Follett's 20th novel, spotlights five families from Wales, the United States, Russia and Germany as their countries hurtle toward World War I. Its subjects range from class warfare between labor and aristocrats, to the suffrage movement, to the horrific ways in which WWI was fought.
Developing Characters
"I start with the history, and I ask myself, 'What are the great turning points? What are the big dramatic scenes that are essential to telling the story? " Follett says. "Then I thought of characters who would participate in some passionate way in those great events."
Creating those characters and the way they serve the story, he says, is like painting: "You would be sketching out an outline of a person and saying that person has to be top left. There are no eyes, no nose, no mouth, but you get the position and you’ve got the rough shape."
And that's when the writing gets really enjoyable. "You can start saying, ‘I wonder what they would’ve been like.’ That’s the fun part: inventing those characters and their pasts."
Writing Historical Fiction
"There's a lot of research, and I enjoy the research. I like reading history, and actually most authors enjoy the research part because it is, after all, easier than writing," Follett says when asked how he managed to capture with such vivid detail settings like a Russian factory or a Welsh coal mine.
In his research for the trilogy, Follett turned to historian Eric Hobsbawm's book The Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century, 1914-1991 because, he says, "then I could see the shape of my trilogy. Hobsbawm gave me the notion that that is actually the period with a beginning and an end, which is what we as storytellers are always looking for."
Prime Minister David Lloyd George
"[Lloyd George] did something that's still remembered in folk songs in Great Britain. He introduced old-age pensions," Follett said when asked about the sense of betrayal of the working class by Lloyd George in the novel.
Follett, in offering up his assessment of the man in the middle of it all, says, "There are stories which are still told about old men who had been coal miners, steel workers, weeping as they came out of the post office with the first installment of their old-age pension, because they knew they would now never be destitute. That's really an emotional moment in British history."
And yet his time in office saw the rise of the Labour Party because of this sense of betrayal. "First of all, he did not end the first World War when he could have. Secondly, at the end of the war, he continued in coalition with the Conservatives," Follett said.
Politics
Follett is married to a former member of Parliament, Barbara Follett. Explaining his ability to write about high-level politics, he says: "For the last 13 years, Britain has been run by my friends ... Most of our friends -- the people we have dinner with, the people we go to the theater with, the people we go on holiday with -- have been ministers in the British government."
In a glimpse into his life as the husband of a former MP, Follett recounts a dinner conversation where his wife says, "You know, today I signed off 73 billion pounds." For Follett, "all that, and just talking to all these people about the daily responsibility of making decisions and working with civil servants and so on has been, frankly, a terrific help to me in writing."
And so, Follett, who finished Fall of Giants six months ago, says, "I've written the outline for the second book and just started writing it. I've got about a hundred pages." With Giants hitting bookstores Tuesday, it looks like the planned sequel about WWII won't be far behind.

TAIPEI, Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Throughout 40 years in industry, Hi-Lo Systems, the leading global provider of IC programming solutions, has established the programming network with almost 30 service centers around the world, providing customers in more than 60 countries with the most prompt and efficient supports.
What's so special about worldwide programming service?
For starters, Hi-Lo's local services are highly customized and professional. In any of Hi-Lo's programming center, customers are provided with completed and comprehensive value-added services. Hi-Lo understands it as experience that various requirement result from different market conditions. For example, for customers from automotive electronics, Hi-Lo offers optional 2D/3D quality inspection to assure these programmed IC are well protected physically; moreover, Hi-Lo offers secure programming for IoT products to keep customers from hacking and intellectual theft; lastly, Hi-Lo offers inking/marking, exchange of packages, and exclusive area for advanced devices programming, such as UFS.
Second, it prevents customers from shutting down production line for any cause. In addition to regular maintenance and repair on purchased equipment and re-training on new operators, Customers of Hi-Lo's can receive prompt and thorough on-site service for troubleshooting and urgent technical support within 24 hours when needed.
Lastly, it can guarantee sufficient supply of needed parts and consumables. In addition to simply sell these parts to customers, Hi-Lo offers services such as supply chain management, procurement planning through completed local distributorship. Consequently, customers of Hi-Lo's make reliable procurement plan for cost analysis and as well avoid potential shortage of required materials or shutdown in production line.
Affirming its leading industry position, Hi-Lo pursues more than completed worldwide service, but also keeps its technological capabilities as innovative and reliable as the market demand asks. As the founder of TSMC Morris C.M. Chang once described, for a semiconductor company to prosper perpetually, it should not only go global, but also strive for world-class technology.
To deliver world-class technology in device programming, Hi-Lo must identify and recognize the industry trends and the pain points of the current solutions.
For instance, programmable chips in automotive electronics industry consists mostly of various MCU and high density memory IC such as eMMC and UFS so as to deliver complicated commands in sequence, accumulate constantly-changing data from driving and analyze, and then adapt to various situations in roads based on these information.
The most evident pain points in programming automotive chips are that the supportability for developing new devices is not efficient or comprehensive enough; as a result, the customers would face unbearable lead time or poor technical support. What's worse, even when these devices are supported, the programming time for high density memory chips are too long, severely diminishing the efficiency and capacity in production line and thus costing significantly in long-term.
Hi-Lo addresses such issues. With over 100,000 devices supported by its programmers and over 100 R&D members delivering new device development and technical supports, customers won't compromise capacity and quality in programming; moreover, Hi-Lo develops its exclusive programming core for high density memory chips, delivering three to four times faster in programming eMMC and UFS.
Hi-Lo believes every customer deserves worldwide supports and world-class technology, as they are shaping the world of innovation!

Andy Murray has been included in Great Britain’s Davis Cup team for the group stage of the competition in Glasgow next month but there is no place yet for rising star Jack Draper.
Murray joins Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans and world doubles number one Joe Salisbury in the line-up for Britain’s matches against the United States, Kazakhstan and the Netherlands at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena.
Twenty-year-old Draper has surged from outside the top 250 to 55 in the rankings this season but Murray, who is eight places higher, gets the nod to provide singles competition to Wimbledon semi-finalist Norrie and 23rd ranked Evans.
A fifth player will be added later, giving Draper further chance to stake his claim along with doubles specialist Neal Skupski, who won his sixth title of the season with Dutch partner Wesley Koolhof in Montreal on Sunday.
Smith said: “I’m delighted to name such a strong team to take on the other three nations next month in Glasgow. We have really good strength and depth at the moment and selections have been tougher than ever.
“Emirates Arena has been a brilliant venue for our team in the past creating some of the best atmospheres and memories our players have experienced.
“We are very excited to bring Davis Cup back there for the first time in over four years and look forward to a packed-out stadium making some serious noise for our team.”
Murray will play in the competition for the first time since 2019 having missed the most recent edition last November, when Britain lost to Germany in the quarter-finals.
He is guaranteed a hero’s welcome at home, with Britain playing their matches on September 14, 16 and 18.
“It’s always special playing in a Davis Cup tie in front of a home crowd,” said the 35-year-old. “Some of the best moments of my career have come representing my country in the Davis Cup so to be a part of the team again means a lot.
“Obviously it’s exciting that the competition is returning to Glasgow. We’ve had some brilliant results there in the past and this is another chance for us to create even more history. We’ve got a strong team and we’ll be giving everything we can to get the win for the fans and book our place in the finals.”
The latest incarnation of the historic competition sees four cities hosting groups of four teams each, with the top two in each pool progressing to a last-eight shoot-out in Malaga in November.

Iran denies being involved in attack on Salman Rushdie
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - An Iranian government official denied on Monday that Tehran was involved in the assault on author Salman Rushdie, in remarks that were the country’s first public comments on the attack.
The comments by Nasser Kanaani, the spokesman of Iran’s Foreign Ministry, come over two days after the attack on Rushdie in New York.
However, Iran has denied carrying out other operations abroad targeting dissidents in the years since the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, despite prosecutors and Western governments attributing such attacks back to Tehran.
“We, in the incident of the attack on Salman Rushdie in the U.S., do not consider that anyone deserves blame and accusations except him and his supporters,” Kanaani said. “Nobody has right to accuse Iran in this regard.”
Rushdie, 75, was stabbed Friday while attending an event in western New York. He suffered a damaged liver and severed nerves in an arm and an eye, his agent said. He was likely to lose the injured eye.
His assailant, 24-year-old Hadi Matar, has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the attack through his lawyer.
The award-winning author for more than 30 years has faced death threats for “The Satanic Verses.” Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini had issued a fatwa, or Islamic edict, demanding his death. A semiofficial Iranian foundation had put up a bounty of over $3 million for the author, though it has yet to offer any comment on the attack.
Kanaani added that Iran did not “have any other information more than what the American media has reported.”
The West “condemning the actions of the attacker and in return glorifying the actions of the insulter to Islamic beliefs is a contradictory attitude,” Kanaani said.
Khomeini, in poor health in the last year of his life after the grinding, stalemated 1980s Iran-Iraq war had decimated the country’s economy, issued the fatwa on Rushdie in 1989. The Islamic edict came amid a violent uproar in the Muslim world over the novel, which some viewed as blasphemously making suggestions about the Prophet Muhammad’s life.
While fatwas can be revised or revoked, Iran’s current Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — who took over after Khomeini — has never done so. As recently as February 2017, Khamenei said: “The decree is as Imam Khomeini issued.”
Since 1979, Iran has targeted dissidents abroad in attacks. Tensions with the West — particularly the United States — have spiked since then-President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled America out of Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers in 2018.
A Trump-ordered drone strike killed a top Iranian Revolutionary Guard general in 2020, further fueling those tensions.
Last week, the U.S. charged a Guard member in absentia for allegedly plotting to kill one-time Trump adviser and Iran hawk John Bolton. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and an aide are under 24-hour security over alleged threats from Iran.
Meanwhile, U.S. prosecutors say Iran tried to kidnap in 2021 an Iranian opposition activist and writer living in New York. In recent days, a man with an assault rifle was arrested near her home.
Other denials from the Foreign Ministry have included Tehran’s transfer of weapons to Yemen’s Houthi rebels amid that country’s long civil war. Independent experts, Western nations and U.N. experts have traced weapon components back to Iran.

Coronation Street fans are calling for a Weatherfield icon to return to the soap after what they've dubbed a "sign from the universe".
Kevin Kennedy, who famously played Curly Watts on the show for 20 years, had a surprise reunion with Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs, as they both enjoyed a holidays in Cyprus. Kevin shared a picture of the pair together on Facebook, sparking calls from fans for him to rejoin the soap he left in 2003.
Curly remains one of the soap's best loved characters, and fans regularly call for his return.

Captioning the snap, the actor said: "Amazing who you meet late at night at Paphos airport". Corrie lovers were quick to comment on the photo.
One fan said: "Coronation Street The Reunion", while another said: "This is a clear sign from the universe that Curly needs to make a comeback". A third said: "The street needs you innit!" [sic].
Alan, who went on holiday with his brother Ste and their families in Cyprus, shared the same image with Kevin on his Instagram Stories. He said: "Bumped into this absolute legend @MrKevKennedy." He added: "So good to see you mate", sharing what appeared to be an in-joke of: "Thanks for the goodbye".
Kevin first started his Weatherfield journey as the unlucky-in-love Norman Arthur "Curly" Watts back in 1983, the MEN reports. The character's nickname was a cheeky nod to his straighter-than-straight hairdo and he was famously a fan of astronomy and became the assistant manager of Bettabuys supermarket.
During his two decades on the soap he was involved in a number of dramatic storylines, and will always be remembered for his star-crossed romance with Rovers Return barmaid Raquel, who was famously played by Sarah Lancashire. He last reprised the role of Curly back in 2010 for the spin-off DVD special A Knights Tale reuniting with Ken Morley as Reg Holdsworth.

Commitment Breakdown: Miami LB Stanquan Clark commits to Louisville
Louisville’s impressive 2023 recruiting class got even better on Sunday with the commitment of Stanquan Clark. The addition of Clark out of Miami Central is another big win for the Cardinals in the Sunshine State both on and off the field.
WHAT LOUISVILLE IS GETTING
Taking on 5A Florida squads last fall for Miami’s Killian High School, Clark proved he’s a beast in the box. Clark led his Cougars squad in tackles (131) and tackles for a loss (24) while helping create turnovers with two picks and two forced fumbles. The Cardinals are getting a player with a nose for the ball and a knack for making something positive happen for his team on the field.
WHAT MAKES CLARK DIFFERENT
There is an “it” factor on the field that is earned not given, and Clark has that. Because he makes so many plays and is a magnet for the ball, Clark is a leader on the field who shows up in big moments. Clark works the box well sliding around the big guys and has a lot of experience with rush blitzes coming down the alley hard. When Clark makes contact, he’s looking to ring bells and crack helmets.
WHY THIS IS BIG FOR LOUISVILLE
After a really strong spring and June on the recruiting trail, the Cardinals’ 2023 class slowed down in July but is regaining momentum again in August. Louisville has expanded their recruiting circles pulling an impressive four prospects out of California and are putting in the hard work with Georgia and Florida players. Securing Jordan Church out of IMG Academy was a win, but another tell-tell sign is pulling their third prospect out of the Miami area: William Fowles, Rayquan Adkins, and Clark.
This Louisville class is different. The Cardinals are adding dudes and a ton of athletic playmakers. | https://n.rivals.com/news/commitment-breakdown-miami-lb-stanquan-clark-commits-to-louisville | 2022-08-15T08:23:06Z | https://n.rivals.com/news/commitment-breakdown-miami-lb-stanquan-clark-commits-to-louisville | true | 1 |
The Miami Valley has five new full-time superintendents for this school year, which is a higher-than-usual total.
In addition to that group, two districts, Bethel and Valley View, have interim superintendents, and Oakwood superintendent Kyle Ramey announced his plan to retire in December.
Replacements for longtime, retiring superintendents
Kettering, Brookville and Centerville all replaced their superintendents, who retired earlier this year. Combined, former Kettering superintendent Scott Inskeep, former Brookville superintendent Tim Hopkins and former Centerville superintendent Tom Henderson had about 43 years of experience as top school administrators and even more in the education field.
Hopkins was the longest-serving superintendent in Montgomery County, having served for 22 years.
New Centerville superintendent Jon Wesney was previously the director of business operations for the district and has served in the school district since 1997.
Mindy McCarty-Stewart, formerly of Wilmington Schools, replaced Inskeep. She is the first female top administrator for Kettering Schools.
Jason Wood is Brookville’s new superintendent. Wood served as the superintendent of the Coldwater Exempted Village Schools in Mercer County since 2015. He has worked as a principal, athletic director, teacher and coach during his 27-year career in education.
Replacing superintendents who left for other jobs
Jason Enix is replacing former superintendent Mario Basora in Huber Heights. Basora left the district earlier this year for a job in the private sector.
Enix is a Wayne High School graduate. He was previously at Reading School District near Cincinnati for the past two years and served as assistant superintendent in Beavercreek. Interim Superintendent Kelly Spivey served after Basora’s departuret.
Springboro superintendent Carrie Hester, who was previously Springboro’s assistant superintendent of operations, planned to leave the district for a job at Northwest Schools earlier this year, but stayed after previous superintendent Larry Hook left for a job at Forest Hills schools on Cincinnati’s east side and she was promoted.
Interim superintendents
Joe Scholler, Sr. is Valley View’s interim superintendent. He served as interim superintendent in 2017. Previous Valley View superintendent Ben Richards resigned to become the superintendent of Tiffin City Schools in northwest Ohio.
In Bethel Local Schools, Matthew Chrispin is interim superintendent for the district after previous superintendent Justin Firks left. Firks was superintendent for three years and his resignation came about the same time as the school board’s conversations over transgender students’ access to bathrooms.
Chrispin previously served as superintendent for the Bucyrus City Schools and the Fredericktown Local Schools in north central Ohio.
Upcoming retirement
Ramey has announced he will retire by the end of the year. Oakwood Schools sent out information last week noting the Board of Education has engaged K-12 Business Consulting to help find the next superintendent and expects to name an interim superintendent in November and a permanent replacement next summer.

Instagram and Facebook are stalking you on websites accessed through their apps. What can you do about it?
On the bright side, users concerned about privacy do have some options.The easiest way to stop Meta tracking your external activities through its in-app browser is to simply not use it make sure youre opening web pages in a trusted browser of choice such as Safari, Chrome or Firefox via the screen shown below.If you cant find this screen option, you can manually copy and paste the web address into a trusted browser.Another option is to access the social media platforms via a browser.
- Country:
- Australia
Social media platforms have had some bad press in recent times, largely prompted by the vast extent of their data collection. Now Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has upped the ante.
Not content with following every move you make on its apps, Meta has reportedly devised a way to also know everything you do in external websites accessed through its apps. Why is it going to such lengths? And is there a way to avoid this surveillance? 'Injecting' code to follow you Meta has a custom in-app browser that operates on Facebook, Instagram, and any website you might click through to from both these apps.
Now ex-Google engineer and privacy researcher Felix Krause has discovered this proprietary browser has additional program code inserted into it. Krause developed a tool that found Instagram and Facebook added up to 18 lines of code to websites visited through Meta's in-app browsers.
This "code injection" enables user tracking and overrides tracking restrictions that browsers such as Chrome and Safari have in place. It allows Meta to collect sensitive user information, including "every button and link tapped, text selections, screenshots, as well as any form inputs, like passwords, addresses, and credit card numbers".
Krause published his findings online on August 10, including samples of the actual code.
In response, Meta has said it isn't doing anything users didn't consent to. A Meta spokesperson said: We intentionally developed this code to honour people's [Ask to track] choices on our platforms […] The code allows us to aggregate user data before using it for targeted advertising or measurement purposes.
The "code" mentioned in the case is pcm.js – a script that acts to aggregate a user's browsing activities. Meta says the script is inserted based on whether users have given consent – and information gained is used only for advertising purposes.
So is it acting ethically? Well, the company has done due diligence by informing users of its intention to collect an expanded range of data. However, it stopped short of making clear what the full implications of doing so would be.
People might give their consent to tracking in a more general sense, but "informed" consent implies full knowledge of the possible consequences. And, in this case, users were not explicitly made aware their activities on other sites could be followed through a code injection.
Why is Meta doing this? Data are the central commodity of Meta's business model. There is astronomical value in the amount of data Meta can collect by injecting a tracking code into third-party websites opened through the Instagram and Facebook apps.
At the same time, Meta's business model is being threatened – and events from the recent past can help shed light on why it's doing this in the first place.
It boils down to the fact that Apple (which owns the Safari browser), Google (which owns Chrome) and the Firefox browser are all actively placing restrictions on Meta's ability to collect data.
Last year, Apple's iOS 14.5 update came alongside a requirement that all apps hosted on the Apple app store must get users' explicit permission to track and collect their data across apps owned by other companies.
Meta has publicly said this single iPhone alert is costing its Facebook business US$10 billion each year.
Apple's Safari browser also applies a default setting to block all third-party "cookies". These are little chunks of tracking code that websites deposit on your computer and which tell the website's owner about your visit to the site.
Google will also soon be phasing out third-party cookies. And Firefox recently announced "total cookie protection" to prevent so-called cross-page tracking.
In other words, Meta is being flanked by browsers introducing restrictions on extensive user data tracking. Its response was to create its own browser that circumvents these restrictions.
How can I protect myself? On the bright side, users concerned about privacy do have some options.
The easiest way to stop Meta tracking your external activities through its in-app browser is to simply not use it; make sure you're opening web pages in a trusted browser of choice such as Safari, Chrome or Firefox (via the screen shown below).
If you can't find this screen option, you can manually copy and paste the web address into a trusted browser.
Another option is to access the social media platforms via a browser. So instead of using the Instagram or Facebook app, visit the sites by entering their URL into your trusted browser's search bar. This should also solve the tracking problem.
I'm not suggesting you ditch Facebook or Instagram altogether. But we should all be aware of how our online movements and usage patterns may be carefully recorded and used in ways we're not told about. Remember: on the internet, if the service is free, you're probably the product.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Philippine officials are considering a U.S. offer to provide heavy-lift helicopters like its widely used Chinooks after Manila scrapped a deal to buy military choppers from Russia due to fears of Western sanctions, the Philippine ambassador to Washington said Monday.
Then-President Rodrigo Duterte approved the cancellation of the signed deal to buy 16 Russian Mi-17 helicopters due to concerns over possible Western sanctions, which could hamper fast bank transfers of the income Filipino workers send home from the U.S. and other Western countries, Ambassador Jose Romualdez said.
Romualdez said Washington did not pressure the Philippines to drop the 12.7-billion-peso ($227 million) deal with the Russians.
But following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, countries that would purchase Russian equipment could face Western sanctions, he said.
“I think it was really prudent specially for President Duterte to approve the cancellation of that contract because it can save us a lot of trouble,” Romualdez told an online news conference organized by Manila-based foreign correspondents.
The U.S. offer to sell Boeing CH-47 Chinooks was discussed as early as last year by former Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and his American counterpart, Lloyd Austin, in Washington even before Duterte was persuaded by key Cabinet members to cancel the deal, Romualdez said.
One of Duterte’s Cabinet members, Finance Secretary Sonny Dominguez, warned Duterte then that Western countries may withhold assistance that could help the Philippines deal with and recover from coronavirus outbreaks, two Philippine officials told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of a lack of authority to discuss the issue publicly.
Lorenzana first confirmed the cancellation of the contract to secure Russia’s helicopters in an interview with AP last month. After serving as defense chief under Duterte, Lorenzana has been appointed by new President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to head a government agency in charge of transforming former military bases into business hubs.
Romualdez said the Philippine government under Duterte made an initial payment of about $38 million to secure the Russian military transport helicopters and he would recommend Marcos Jr. and his top defense and foreign officials try to ask the Russians to provide other weapons or equipment that would be covered by that downpayment.
“Definitely we will not just simply say goodbye to that money,” Romualdez said. “It’s still a big amount as far as we’re concerned.”
A Filipino military official has said the helicopter deal would undergo a “termination process” after the Philippine decision to cancel it was made since a contract has already been signed. The Russians can appeal but there is little room for the Philippine government to reconsider, said the official.
Under the scrapped helicopter purchase agreement, which was signed in November, the first batch of the multi-purpose helicopters would have been scheduled for delivery by Russia’s Sovtechnoexport in about two years. Aside from the 16 helicopters, one unit should have been given for free to the Philippines, defense officials said.
The Russian-made helicopters could have been used for combat, search and rescue operations, and medical evacuations in the Southeast Asian archipelago, which is often lashed by typhoons and other natural disasters, Philippine officials said.
In March, the Philippines voted “yes” on a U.N. General Assembly resolution that demanded an immediate halt to Moscow’s attack on Ukraine and the withdrawal of all Russian troops.
Duterte has expressed concern over the global impact of the Russian invasion but has not personally condemned it. When he was in office, he nurtured close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he once called his “idol,” and Chinese leader Xi Jinping while frequently criticizing U.S. security policies.
The Philippines is a treaty ally of Washington, which has imposed heavy sanctions on Moscow aimed at pressuring it to pull back from Ukraine.
Due to financial constraints, the Philippines has struggled for years to modernize its military, one of the most underfunded in Asia, to deal with decades-long Muslim and communist insurgencies and to defend its territories in the disputed South China Sea. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Philippines-eyes-US-helicopters-after-scrapping-17373615.php | 2022-08-15T08:27:07Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Philippines-eyes-US-helicopters-after-scrapping-17373615.php | false | 14 |

By a 5–4 Vote, the Supreme Court Let a Lone Judge Block Biden’s Power Over Deportations
Texas Republicans currently insist that the United States is not allowed to exercise mercy toward undocumented immigrants, but must instead carry out the most draconian consequences possible. A series of conservative judges has agreed with them, stripping Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of his authority to set immigration enforcement priorities that focus the agency’s limited resources away from otherwise law-abiding undocumented immigrants with strong ties to the community. And on Thursday, the Supreme Court issued a 5–4 order rewarding this intrusion on executive power by refusing to restore Mayorkas’ discretion over deportation. It appears that a majority of the justices may agree with Republicans that the president must inflict unceasing cruelty on a maximum number of immigrants.

YEREVAN, AUGUST 15, ARMENPRESS. The Minister of Emergency Situations Armen Pambukhchyan thanked the firefighter-rescuers for their “enormous efforts” in the ongoing search and rescue operations at the Surmalu market in Yerevan.
“For already one day the firefighter-rescuers are making enormous efforts in the ongoing search and rescue and firefighting operation. By risking their lives, they once again proved that they stand by our citizens at any moment. I’d like to express a special gratitude to them for their extraordinary service,” Pambukhchyan, who’s personally been on the scene since August 14 said in a statement.
A strong explosion ripped through the Surmalu market in Yerevan just outside the city center around 13:23, August 14.

Erik ten Hag 'has changed his mind and is now open to letting Cristiano Ronaldo LEAVE Man United... with wantaway star eating alone at Carrington and arguing against high-pressing approach'
- Cristiano Ronaldo made his desire to leave Man United clear earlier this summer
- Erik ten Hag had been adamant the 37-year-old would not leave Old Trafford
- Ronaldo's difficult reintegration back into squad has changed ten Hag's mind
- Portuguese has also been seen flapping his arms about in training at Carrington
Erik ten Hag has reportedly had a change of heart regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Man United and is now open to letting the wantaway forward to leave.
The 37-year-old's future at Old Trafford has been up in the air ever since he declared his intention to quit the club earlier in the summer following their failure to qualify for the Champions League.
Ten Hag - who became the club's first manager in 101 years to lose his first two games following their 4-0 hammering at Brentford on Saturday - has remained adamant throughout the transfer window Ronaldo remains part of his plans for this season.

The Athletic claim his difficult reintegration into the United squad is behind his change of heart
But The Athletic claim the 52-year-old has now changed his mind and is open to letting Ronaldo leave, citing his difficult reintegration back into the squad after he missed most of pre-season due to family reasons.
The report claims since returning to the fold, there have been days where Ronaldo sits by himself during lunch at the canteen at their Carrington training ground.
The same outlet reports there have also been instances of him flapping his arms about in training and trying to argue against the high-pressing approach implemented by ten Hag.
The news comes with Sportsmail understanding that while Ronaldo is said to be training well, he exchanged words with Ten Hag's No 2 Steve McClaren at the final whistle after refusing to applaud United's travelling fans, and there is a feeling that his mood is having a negative effect on the dressing room.
Ronaldo sometimes eats lunch by himself at Carrington and has argued against ten Hag's approach
However, United have dismissed suggestions that Ronaldo's contract could be cancelled, and reiterated that he is staying at the club.
However, the Athletic insist United will only consider selling the Portugal international if they can recruit in the forward areas, which they have found beyond difficult this summer and their need has been exacerbated by Anthony Martial's injury.
The club had a £7.5m bid for former West Ham and Stoke forward Marko Arnautovic last week, before opting to pull out of a potential deal for the Bologna star following a huge backlash from fans.
Another player United were linked with was RB Salzburg star Benjamin Sesko but the club were beaten to a deal for the promising Slovenian by RB Leipzig, while Alvaro Morata is also a rumoured target.
Ten Hag became the club's first manager in 101 years to lose his first two games
They have now reportedly contacted PSG forward Mauro Icardi's representatives via intermediaries.
Icardi has been left out of PSG's matchday squad for their opening two Ligue 1 matches this season, and manager Christophe Galtier has confirmed that the 29-year-old is free to leave.
United are showing an interest in the Argentine forward, and Icardi is keen on a move to Old Trafford, according to Get French Football News.
However, it is understood that PSG feel Icardi is not United's top target, and the Red Devils have not made direct contact with the French champions yet.

'Ye hota hai Azad mulk': Imran Khan praises India again, plays Jaishankar's video at a massive public rally in Lahore - Watch
Pakistan's ousted prime minister Imran Khan said that while India bought oil from Russia because it was in its people's interest, the current dispensation under Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan couldn't survive without Washington's support.
Trending Photos
Lahore: Pakistan's ousted prime minister Imran Khan has once again heaped praise on India for pursuing an "independent foreign policy" and lauded Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar for standing firm to the sustained US pressure over buying cheap oil from Russia. While addressing a rally recently, Khan said that while India bought oil from Russia because it was in its people's interest, the current dispensation under Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan couldn't survive without Washington's support.
"If India which got independence at the same time as Pakistan and if New Delhi can take a firm stand and make their foreign policy as per the need of its people then who are they (Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif government) who are towing the line," Khan said at the rally.

Former Pak PM Imran Khan plays out video clip of India's foreign minister Dr S Jaishankar during his mega Lahore Rally on Saturday, pointing out his remarks how India is buying Russian oil despite western pressure. Says, 'yeh hoti hai Azad Haqumat' pic.twitter.com/tsSiFLteIv — Sidhant Sibal (@sidhant) August 14, 2022
Khan, the 69-year-old cricketer-turned-politician was voted out of power last month through a no-confidence motion, which he alleges was masterminded by the US with the help of local players over his pursuance of an independent foreign policy.
This is not the first time that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party chairman has praised India for pursuing an independent foreign policy.
In May, Khan praised India for pursuing its "independent" foreign policy and said the US cannot dare to dictate to India because it is a free country. "India is buying oil and weapons from Russia but the US does not say anything to it because it (India) is an independent country. India is also doing trade with Iran but the US does not object to it," he had said.
Khan played out External Affairs Minister Jaishankar's video clip at Saturday's rally to elucidate his point further.
"India's foreign minister was told by them (referring to the US) not to buy oil from Russia. He (Jaishankar) categorically told them 'Who are you to tell us what to do'. The Indian foreign minister told them if Europe is buying gas from Russia...Who are you to tell us (India) not to buy oil from Russia," Khan said, while asserting that India is a sovereign country and has the courage to protect the interest of its people.
Jaishankar had made the following remarks at the GLOBSEC 2022 Bratislava Forum in Slovakia in June on the topic 'Taking Friendship to the Next Level: Allies in the Indo-Pacific Region'.
Khan also slammed the Sharif government for bowing down to US pressure on buying Russian oil.
"India forms its (foreign) policy keeping in view the interest of its people but those who are imposed on us (Sharifs and Zardaris) they watch only their interests," he said, adding that if India can safeguard the interests of its people, why cannot the Pakistani government do the same.
Khan also regretted that he wanted to buy cheap oil from Russia to benefit the poor, but his government was sent packing through a conspiracy hatched by the US and its three stooges -- Sharif, Asif Zaradri and Fazlur Rehman.
Khan said that he is not "anti-American" and wants a "friendly relationship" with the US, instead of becoming their "slave".
Khan said he had enjoyed "good ties" with former US president Donald Trump as he was "respectable" during his visit to the US.
"Ask anyone from the Pakistan-American community they will testify that no one before me had gotten the protocol that Trump gave to me," he claimed.
During the rally, Khan shared his party's "roadmap for Haqeeqi Azadi" (real freedom) to counter the federal government and push towards early elections.

Manchester United have made the decision to sell midfielder James Garner this summer, something that will come as a major boost to Nottingham Forest’s hopes of signing him.
The 21-year-old impressed on loan with the Reds last season, playing a key part in the club’s promotion to the Premier League at the end of the campaign. His ball into the box caused Levi Colwill to turn the ball into his own net for the decisive goal in the play-off final vs Huddersfield Town back in May.
Forest are keen to bring the midfielder back to the City Ground this summer, but had to wait for Manchester United to make a decision on the player. New manager Erik ten Hag was keen to take a look at the academy graduate in pre-season.

According to our colleagues at the Manchester Evening News , United have now taken the decision to cash in on Garner this summer. It is said that the Red Devils are looking for a fee of between £15 million and £20 million.
Forest are likely to be one of the first clubs to show their interest in a transfer this summer, but they may not be alone in wanting to sign Garner. The report adds that Tottenham, along with Forest are ‘interested’ in the player, while Leicester City have previously been credited with showing an interest.
The news that United are looking for a permanent deal for Garner is also good news for Forest, with Premier League rules meaning that a loan deal wouldn’t be possible, unless an obligation to buy is inserted. Rules state that clubs are only allowed one loan player from an individual Premier League club, with Forest already having goalkeeper Dean Henderson on loan from Man United.

The Thousand Autumns Of Jacob De Zoet
by David Mitchell
You know right off that this is going to be an extraordinary novel because of its setting: The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet opens in 1799 on an island called Dejima in the harbor of Nagasaki, Japan. An outpost of commerce packed with spies, prostitutes, sailors, slaves and con men, wedged up against resolute feudalism, it's the province of the Dutch East Indies Company. Young Jacob is to serve five years there as a bookkeeper, after which he hopes to have amassed enough money to marry the wealthy fiancee waiting for him back in Amsterdam. Except that he falls hard for a young Japanese woman who runs into his warehouse chasing an ape carrying a severed human leg, in the kind of exuberant screwball plot twist that Mitchell revels in. Despite some missteps when the plot turns to this young woman's adventures, it's a beautiful novel, full of life and authenticity, atmosphere and characters that breathe.

The Ask
by Sam Lipsyte
It's been seven years since Sam Lipsyte's novel Home Land first started causing isolated bursts of laughter on various forms of public transit. Lovers of quiet commutes should gird themselves for a renewed affront: In Lipsyte's new novel, The Ask, protagonist Milo Burke is a frustrated artist/sad sack recently fired from his position as a development officer raising funds for an unremarkable New York City university, where people pay "vast sums of money so that their progeny [can] take hard drugs in suitable company." When the school is contacted by one of Milo's oldest — and now insanely successful — friends, they give Milo a second chance: Get this guy to donate, and donate big, and you can have your old job back. Though more conventional in structure than Home Land and more slowly plotted, the language in The Ask is still effortlessly funny: "I stared at my own hands, soft, expressive things, gifted, even, like specially bred, lovingly shaved gerbils."

Kraken
by China Mieville
Things start to go downhill for Billy Harrow as soon as his giant squid turns up missing. Someone, somehow, has managed to steal his perfectly preserved 25-foot-long Architeuthis specimen from London's Natural History Museum, an act that draws the hapless cephalopod expert into an urban underworld of death cults, dark magic and a criminal, mollusk-worshipping conspiracy that may be trying to bring about The End of All Things. That might lead you to think that Kraken's just another plot-driven exercise like The Da Vinci Code. But fans of British fantasist Mieville's previous books know that he's careful to couch his Big Ideas in rich, haunting, frequently playful language. As the repercussions of the "squidnapping" play out, and Billy explores the magical London behind and beneath the London we know, the reader will be reminded, often, of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. Though the two books share several conceits, Mieville's voice is distinctly his own and will keep you devouring the pages of this lovingly crafted Lovecraftian epic.

Made For Goodness
by Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu
In the era of apartheid, Archbishop Desmond Tutu railed against the injustice and inhumanity of South Africa's government, and his passionate advocacy helped make the change that came to that country in the 1990s. Now 78, he offers his reflections on faith and forgiveness in Made for Goodness -- written with his daughter Mpho Tutu, also an Anglican priest. More than a decade after his faith-building experience as chair of his country's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Tutu tells Renee Montagne that his sense of his relationship to the divine is still evolving. "I am learning to shut up more in the presence of God," he says, laughing. One model of prayer, he acknowledges, is that "you have a kind of shopping list that you bring to God" — and even Desmond Tutu confesses that "I still do." But more and more for him, he says, communion with God is about "trying to grow, in just being there. Like when you sit in front of a fire in winter — you are just there in front of the fire," he says. "You don't have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you."

Why Translation Matters
by Edith Grossman
Best known for her translation of Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote, Edith Grossman says that when she translates a text, she begins to feel a closeness to the author. "The more talented the writer, the more open the door is into his or her mind," she explains. Grossman says she had a lot of fear when she began translating Don Quixote. She spent two weeks on the first sentence alone, because she felt everything else would fall into place if she could only do justice to Cervantes' opening line. Yet the key to unlocking what the author intended, says Grossman, can always be found in the text itself. And while she believes there will always be tension between literature and translation, she says "they are inseparable ... they need and nurture each other. Their long-term relationship, often problematic, but always illuminating, will surely continue for as long as they both shall live."

Perth Wildcats recruits Brady Manek, Corey Webster and TaShawn Thomas arrive in WA ahead of NBL season
Perth Wildcats’ quest to return to NBL finals is already significantly advanced on last season with the entire squad set to be together by the end of this week and the team having its first match under new coach John Rillie on Sunday.
Imports Brady Manek and TaShawn Thomas were unveiled publicly alongside New Zealand recruit Corey Webster on Monday, leaving only three-time NBL MVP Bryce Cotton absent. He will return from America later this week.
The Wildcats were plagued by delays last season due to hotel quarantine for all new players coming into WA and new coach Scott Morrison having to wait until November to enter the country.
But about half of the team was cleared to play a practice match against US college team St Mary’s on Sunday and the group will have two more pre-season games against Adelaide, along with three matches during the NBL Blitz in September.
“Some of those guys haven’t been playing so just to get out and play was the important thing,” coach John Rillie said.
“It’s been an incremental kick start. It was good for the last couple of weeks to have seven or eight of the Aussie contingent and now we’ve had the imports and the Kiwi join us.
“A very important piece of the puzzle isn’t here yet but to get after it today was good. It felt like the tone and mood of it all was good.”
Monday’s training session included a host of NBL1 players, including last season’s Development Player Mitch Clarke and NBL1 West MVP Devondrick Walker.
Rillie provided opportunities for local youngsters to compete against St Mary’s and hoped more players would seize upon the opportunity to train with the club.
The Wildcats have promised to place an added emphasis on rebounding and defence under Rillie and he believes NBA draftee Luke Travers will be one of the keys to that change.
“Vegas (NBA Summer League) was a great stepping stone to understanding for what you need to be at that level,” Rillie said.
“In my opinion he should be an elite defender in this league. So I’m going to look at him t be that. That’s his purpose and then his offence will flow from that.
“He’s going to get steals, he’s going to rebound, he’s going to push the ball. That’s where I’m going to be really demanding of him - at the defensive end.”

Hurkacz fell to 5-1 in finals.

Abstract
Extreme flood events in urban environments have become a major source of threat to human life and property, and therefore have attracted widespread concerns. In this study, a hydrodynamic modeling and flood risk assessment framework was utilized to replicate the "7.20" extreme urban flood process in Zhengzhou, China, with precise assessments of corresponding hazard degrees for people and vehicles being provided. Model predictions indicated that the study area was seriously flooded during the "7.20" urban flood event, with 28.9% of the buildings having an inundation water depth of more than 0.5 m. Due to the low-lying nature, roads were the vulnerable areas during the flood event, with the maximum water depth and flow velocity up to 1.2 m and 1.0 m/s, respectively. In addition, the response between rainfall intensity and flood risk was also discussed. The overall hazard degrees for people and vehicles sharply increased during the peak rainfall period, and however, the hazard degree of people declined after this period, while the hazard degree for vehicles remained almost unchanged. The flood risk in the Jingguang Road North Tunnel (JRT) was extremely high after the tunnel was inundated. The cascaded inflow from the entrance of the tunnel would reduce the evacuation speed of trapped people, or even lead to a loss of human stability and cause consequent drowning. The results obtained in this study can facilitate the awareness of urban flood risk among the public as well as decision-makers, and can therefore help to improve urban resilience.

TAIPEI: United States lawmakers were set to meet Taiwan’s president on Monday days after China reacted to a similar visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with huge military drills that raised fears of conflict.
The unannounced two-day trip came after Beijing sent warships, missiles and jets into the waters and skies around Taiwan, a self-ruled democracy that China’s leaders claim and have vowed to one day seize.
The five-member congressional delegation -- led by Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts -- was due to hold a meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen on Monday morning followed by a banquet at the foreign ministry.
Their visit will focus on trade, regional security and climate change, Washington’s de facto embassy in Taipei said.
Taiwan’s foreign ministry hailed the visit as another sign of a friendship between Taipei and Washington “that is not afraid of China’s threats and intimidation”.
But the bipartisan trip sparked another caustic response from Beijing, which has drawn down its drills but pressed on with military patrols in the Taiwan Strait.
State news agency Xinhua published a commentary after the lawmakers’ arrival Sunday with the headline ‘US politicians should stop playing with fire on Taiwan question’.
It called the visiting American lawmakers opportunists thinking about their own political interests as November’s midterm elections draw near.
“Those US politicians who are playing with fire on the Taiwan question should drop their wishful thinking,“ the agency said.
“There is no room for compromise or concessions when it comes to China’s core interests,“ it said.
Taiwan’s government has accused Beijing of using Pelosi’s visit as an excuse to kickstart drills that would allow it to rehearse for an invasion.
China’s communist party has never ruled Taiwan but says it will use force if necessary to take the island.
- ‘Red lines’ -
That decades-old threat was reiterated in a white paper published last week when China’s Taiwan Affairs Office said it would “not renounce the use of force” against its neighbour and reserved “the option of taking all necessary measures”.
It added, however: “We will only be forced to take drastic measures to respond to the provocation of separatist elements or external forces should they ever cross our red lines.”
Pelosi has stood by her visit but President Joe Biden said the US military was opposed to the trip by his fellow Democrat who is second in line to the presidency after the vice president.
Congress is constitutionally an equal branch of government with lawmakers free to travel where they wish, and Taiwan enjoys bipartisan backing in divided Washington.
The United States switched diplomatic relations from Taipei to Beijing in 1979.
But it remains a key ally of Taiwan and maintains de facto diplomatic relations with Taipei.
Washington’s official policy opposes both Taiwan declaring independence or China forcibly changing the island’s status.
It remains deliberately ambiguous about whether it would militarily come to Taiwan’s aid if China invaded.
Visits by senior US officials to Taiwan have happened for decades and even Pelosi’s trip was not without precedent -- previous house speaker Newt Gingrich visited in 1997.
But the frequency and profile of US visits has increased both under former President Donald Trump and Biden.
Taiwan has also seen a flurry of delegations visit from Europe and other western allies in recent years, partly in response to Beijing’s more aggressive stance under Chinese President Xi Jinping. - AFP | https://www.thesundaily.my/world/us-lawmakers-to-meet-taiwan-president-as-china-seethes-GL9591989 | 2022-08-15T09:38:45Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/world/us-lawmakers-to-meet-taiwan-president-as-china-seethes-GL9591989 | true | 11 |
As one of the leading members of the Royal Family, it's hard to imagine a time when Prince Harry lived a normal life. However, during one interview with a journalist, he revealed a surprising dream career path.
After Prince Harry finished school, he took a gap year before he entered the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in May 2005. He completed his training in April 2006 and later was deployed to Iraq.
However, it is apparent that Prince Harry didn't always want to join the army from the get-go. The Prince let slip during an interview in South Africa with The Daily Mail's Rebecca English about a secret career desire of his.
READ MORE : Prince Charles' demanding bath routine servants have to do for him every morning
The royal correspondent revealed that Harry said: "I would love to just go and work as a tour guide, you know? Just go off into the bush and be me."
Harry has often spoke about his love for South Africa, and he expressed in September 2019 how excited he was to take his wife Meghan and his son to the country.
"On a personal note, I can’t wait to introduce my wife and son to South Africa!" he said. "We’ll see all of you very soon."
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton used to have a very ordinary job before she married Prince William in 2011. Prior to joining the Royal Family, the Duchess used to work at the women's clothing store, Jigsaw, in St. Andrews.
In the royal documentary, ‘William and Kate: Too Good To Be True?’ Rebecca English spoke to a colleague who used to work alongside Kate in the store. She revealed: “Kate did get a job,” the Evening Standard reported.
She added: "She worked as an accessories buyer but interestingly, someone at the firm told me at the time she went to the boss and said to them, ‘I need a job, but it needs to be part-time so I can work it around my relationship with this very high profile man'."
Rebecca said: "She did that job for a while, but unfortunately the attention of photographers following her to and from work became too much."

Red panda found in fig tree after escaping Australian zoo
A red panda that spent two days on the lam after escaping from an Australian zoo was recaptured Sunday after he was spotted hanging out in a fig tree in a nearby park.
Named Ravi, the 7-year-old panda had arrived at Adelaide Zoo last week after he was brought in from another zoo with hopes that he would pair up with a female red panda named Mishry. But by Friday, Ravi was gone.
Adelaide Zoo Director Phil Ainsley told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that zookeepers spent Sunday trying to entice Ravi down from the fig tree with some of his favorite foods, including bamboo and sweet corn, to no avail.
In the end they fired a tranquilizer dart.
“We used a couple of different dart devices, finally got a dart into him and then just had to wait about 15 minutes just for the drug to take some effect,” Ainsley said.
Ravi then fell into the blankets of zookeepers who were waiting beneath the tree.
“Ravi’s doing really well,” Ainsley told the broadcaster. “Settling down into animal health hospital, where he’s just going to spend the next two or three days after being on the run. Just want to make sure he’s all healthy and recovered from his adventure.”
Ainsley said they discovered Ravi had escaped his enclosure Friday morning and initially focused their attention within the zoo, figuring he’d be up one of the large trees there. It wasn’t until Sunday morning that a zookeeper spotted him in the fig tree in the nearby botanic park.
Ainsley told the broadcaster they’d be reviewing the zoo’s CCTV footage to figure out how Ravi escaped.
“Obviously he’d just arrived and was testing his enclosure,” Ainsley said. “We know that red pandas are incredibly agile, and renowned for being escapologists.”

ENGLEWOOD — Tyler Bahnsen chuckles every time a customer is shocked when they find small bags of snacks for a quarter or a cut of meat around half price at the Sunflower Discount Market.
Bahnsen is the manager of the market which opened two years ago at 431 S. Indiana Ave., Englewood.
According to the Consumer Price Index, food prices increased 10.4% for the 12 months ending June 2022. From flour, milk and eggs to chicken and pork, customers are paying more today for these items than last year.
Last week, egg prices surged locally to $7.99, and about $11.57 for a pound of bacon at many grocery stores.
Bahnsen said he’s seeing lots of new faces at the grocery liquidation store. Others, he said, know something is different at the Sunflower Market.
The store is able to get some name-brand products like big-box chains, however, the inventory changes weekly.
On a recent day, Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice is $1.99 at Sunflower. It’s $4.29 at other local stores. Also at the store, eggs are $2.99, and a 13-ounce box of Fruity Pebbles cereal is $1.99. A five-pound bag of chicken wings are $8.99. Funfetti Oreo brownies or chocolate cake boxes are three for $1, and a bag of Bamba peanut butter puffs are a quarter.
“That’s the fun part for our customers,” he said. “We have some items that are constant like eggs, frozen pizza, snacks, etc., but they may not be the same brand every week. We tell customers if you see something you like, buy it, buy a few of them — because when they are all out. We may not get the exact brand in stock. We will have something else. It’s always worth checking out.”
Bahnsen said the store also sells hygiene items including baby and adult diapers, vitamins, beauty supplies. Currently, nail polish is 50 cents each for all colors, including glitter-filled ones. Citrus Manuka Gummies vitamins are 99 cents a bottle.
The store carries lines of organic, Keto diet, plant-based foods, gluten free and lines of grass-fed products for customers. They have a produce section, and a small beer and wine selection.
“I’m so grateful to have this store,” said Marietta Johnstone who was shopping for meat products at Sunflower recently. “When you are on a fixed income and prices are so high for gas and other necessities, this store is a blessing.”
Shoppers bring their own bags or use store boxes to load their groceries. This helps the store save money and pass it along to customers.
“Our prices for many items are half-price off compared to prices at other bigger stores,” Bahnsen said. “I think that’s why we see people from Port Charlotte, North Port and Venice shop here. We know times are tough. We do our best to help people save money. I think that’s why we have a lot of regular loyal customers.”
Lisa Crawford, store co-owner, said Sunflower is a “Fresh Access Bucks retailer,” which helps customers save money.
“We are one of only a handful in the state,” she said. “That means that customers who are shopping for groceries with their EBT (food stamp) card can get a matching amount of free produce up to $10 per transaction. This is a Feeding Florida initiative and helps a lot of people.”

By Katie Fitzgerald of RNZ
Royal Oak residents say more needs to be done to the local roundabout, months after its most recent upgrade.
The Royal Oak roundabout underwent changes late last year after 61 crashes over a four-year period.
The Government is proposing legislation that would allow councils to make big changes to street layouts with less public consultation.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Locals say even with consultation the recent upgrade didn't do enough.
Cars spill on to Royal Oak roundabout from five entrances, and residents say it's a challenge for drivers picking their moment to enter the throng of vehicles.
The upgrade at the end of 2021 changed the roundabout's shape and replaced existing zebra crossings with raised speed tables.
A woman RNZ spoke to near the roundabout said the changes hadn't made an improvement.
"What they've done to it, spent all that money on what they've just done recently, hasn't made any difference."
The lack of provision for people on bikes in the recent upgrade has angered some residents.
Matt van Roijen lives in the area and said he avoided the roundabout because of how often drivers pulled out in front of cyclists when they're eager not to miss a gap.
"People want to get into it as quick as possible because the gaps are so quick, short, that you really need to jump to get into it and so everyone's off the mark really quick and that just continues to flow on and on and it just gets worse."

Advertise with NZME.A cyclist was killed riding near the Royal Oak roundabout in March last year.
Van Roijen said the roundabout needed a redesign to make it less car-focused.
"It needs to be redesigned more according with what we value, which is not just moving a lot of cars through as quickly as possible, it's pedestrians, cyclists, all that has to be taken into account.
"So, I guess traffic calming, slowing speeds of vehicles entering the roundabout. There's 10 lanes going into it, could be nice to reduce that to a single lane and change the design, the geometry of the design, to slow traffic and maybe have some more space for cyclists."
Others RNZ spoke to had suggestions on how to make the intersection safer, including installing traffic lights, building judder bars, or moving pedestrian crossings.
Auckland Transport said it was no stranger to requests for more transformative changes at the roundabout, but budget constraints meant the most recent upgrade limited what it could deliver.

Advertise with NZME.In a statement, it said the interim safety measures had made a difference.
"Site observations and monitoring has been carried out and it has been found that the speed of traffic is reduced - especially when circulating around the roundabout. This makes it much safer for all road users."
Local business owner Colin Haines is happy with the changes.
His Ollies Burgers and Ice Cream restaurant looks directly at the roundabout, and he had only one problem with the current setup.
"It's better, it goes smoother. Everything about it is better than it's ever been before. The only thing is they raised the platform of the pedestrian crossings. And every track that goes through it hits those raised pedestrian crossings and makes a horrendous noise."
Haines wanted to see cyclists avoid the roundabout entirely.

Auckland Transport was looking at a longer-term plan for Manukau Rd, which included the Royal Oak roundabout, and would be looking at improvements for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, it said. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/is-aucklands-royal-oak-roundabout-nzs-most-notorious/F2YJNXH4SU7X4F5MQ6LQPU3Y6U/?c_id=1&objectid=12545191 | 2022-08-15T10:01:46Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/is-aucklands-royal-oak-roundabout-nzs-most-notorious/F2YJNXH4SU7X4F5MQ6LQPU3Y6U/?c_id=1&objectid=12545191 | true | 4 |
The season of searing temperatures will soon begin in northwestern Zimbabwe as the chilly months fade away. But for the villagers of Silewad the return of summer, storms and a new planting season increase the risk of elephants invading their land.
Silewad is near Hwange National Park, the country's premier game reserve which is roughly half the size of Belgium. Zimbabwe is home to Africa's second largest pachyderm population. It's growing at about five per cent a year, and that means competition for water and land between humans and the world's largest land mammal is increasingin and around Hwange.
During these last weeks of the cool months, the villagers rely on homemade remedies to keep elephants away from people, crops and water. In Silewad, not far from seasonal streams which attract elephants, five gloved and masked villagers use a large wooden pestle to pound a fermented mixture of chilis, garlic, ginger, neem leaves and elephant dung into a paste designed to keep the animals at bay.
Masaloni Ndlovu, 67, hangs plastic bottles of the ground chili paste on his fence to deter elephants which often wander through his homestead. Elephants hate the smell of the paste. But faced with another dry season forecast of patchy rains and poor harvests, people fear that the homemade remedies won't be enough to keep desperately thirsty elephants within the national park and out of village gardens.
Once a worker at a nearby railway station, Ndlovu recalls that elephants rarely wandered through the hamlet when he was younger, but now they are increasingly a common sight.
"We call the rangers to deal with the animals, but they don't do anything. We hardly saw elephants when I was younger but today they are everywhere and they eat everything we plant," he says.
Zimbabwe's elephant population is growing as climate change is making rainfall unpredictable. Depleting levels of groundwater in the Hwange game reserve are forcing animals to travel further in search of replenishment during the hot season. Villagers and conservationists fear that the competition for shrinking water resources could lead to deaths of local people and elephants. Already this year, at least 20 people have been killed in confrontations with elephants, according to Zimbabwe's National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks).
Growing, thirsty herds roam a drying earth
Elephants are especially vulnerable to rising temperatures. They need to drink up to 200 liters [50 gallons] per day, but during the summer they can lose up to 10 percent of body water daily. Research shows elephants migrate seasonally depending on the availability of water in Hwange National Park.
Between 1928 and 2005, during drought years with erratic rainfall, herbivore populations tended to migrate more frequently, according to another study. ZimParks has partnered with local and international donor conservation groups to drill more than 65 boreholes that create artificial watering holes throughout the year for more than 45,000 elephants that trek through Hwange. But the changing climate has raised concern among scholars and conservationists over the future sustainability of the animal sanctuary.
Dr. Simon Chamaillé-Jammes, deputy director of Hwange LTSER, the Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research center, has observed that droughts have intensified in sections of the game reserve.
"[W]e did publish a study showing that annual rainfall did not change that much on average over the 1940 - 2005 period, but that droughts, when they occurred, where much more severe than they used to be, with 50% reduction of rainfall during drought years in some areas of the park," he wrote in an email.
On the routes elephants typically take that wind through Zimbabwe, Angola, Botswana, Namibia and Botswana, an aerial survey was launched by the Kavango Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA) to count the wildlife roaming the Kavango Zambezi basin over the next four months. (Hwange Park is within the Kavango Zambezi basin.) Counting the large herds which roam this rich biodiverse area will help to determine animal numbers and the water needs of Southern Africa's mammals.
This is the first survey of its kind in this region, according to Teofilus Nghitila, executive director general of Namibia's wildlife and national parks management authority. The information gathered from the survey will also help in shaping elephant management policies, Nghitila said.
Climate change pushes elephants closer to people
Over the years, Southern Africa's climate has become increasingly vulnerable to weather patterns like El Nino, making rainfall patterns highly unpredictable, according to Narcisa Pricope, a professor of geography at the University of North Carolina Wilmington in the United States.
Some research has shown an increase in the occurrence and intensity of drought over many parts of Southern Africa, Pricope says. Rainy seasons have gotten more unreliable, with implications for humans and animals alike.
"So, local communities not only have to contend with unreliable precipitation patterns that make them food insecure in the first place," Pricope said in an email, "but on top of that, they have to live with wildlife in very close proximity as a result of the shrinking of water availability throughout the landscape in Hwange national park."
In 2019, hundreds of people were killed when Cyclone Idai struck eastern Zimbabwe. The same year, a drought in the western provinces resulted in the death of more than 200 elephants in Hwange National Park over just two months.
Pricope predicts if water scarcity persists it is likely to "amplify human wildlife conflicts especially in the areas adjacent to national parks where humans cohabit". Less water within the national park could drive animals closer to perennial water sources which are also close to human settlements.
A desperate solution to a deadly conflict
To manage the dilemmas of a changing climate and growing wildlife populations, regional governments are currently lobbying for the one-off sale of ivory stockpiles in order to finance human-wildlife conflict programs. But under a global treaty called the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), trade in ivory is strictly prohibited. CITES has previously allowed ivory sales on two occasions, but global resistance against the trade has grown stronger.
After the push to sell African stockpiles was chastised by international conservation groups, the Southern African states convened the African Elephant Conference in May and declared their intention to collectively lobby for permission to trade. The Southern African states, which includes Zimbabwe, hope to present their united position at the CITES Summit in Panama later this year.
Zimbabwe alone claims it is sitting on a 123 tonne stockpile worth an estimated $600 million, a figure questioned by environmental accountants.
Better water drilling to save people and elephants
But far from the high-powered summit and drawn out debates over the sale of tusks, villagers live with an impending crisis.
Hangani Dube, 79, bears the scars of this conflict. Dube was injured while trying to scare off a pair of intruding elephants in his vegetable garden one afternoon in May. The elephants, instead, charged and gored him with their tusks.
Writhing in pain, Dube dragged himself on his hips to the main highway where he found help to get to the nearest medical center. After a month in the infirmary, a frail Dube hobbles from place to place, unable to walk easily because of the steel plate implanted to keep his bones together. Feeling robbed of life, the old man wishes for more action to reduce the elephant herds in his area.
"I feel useless. I can't do anything for my family since I was injured. I used to take out my plough and plant with my cattle, but now I can't." he says. "I rely on my wife and sons to do everything I used to do."
He says bitterly: "The government has to cull these elephants before they hurt us all."
Zimbabwe has recently considered culling. In the past, more than 50,000 elephants were killed during culls between 1965 and 1988. However, this controversial control method would require significant financing, which the government lacks.
While the government weighs the sale of ivory or culling herds, villagers still live with the daily risk of elephants searching for water and food. When the rainy season begins in November, farmers will plant their crops, and Ndlovu will have to apply the chili fixative more regularly as his only defense against the marauding mammals. Other homegrown methods such as burning chili bricks and making chilli bombs are used in other areas, but they too have limited effectiveness in keeping elephants away.
Hwange's intermittent rain and persistent heat also harm vegetation. The elephants have to travel further in search of food as well as water. While there is no available research on Hwange's groundwater recharge rates, Chamaillé-Jammes cautions against drilling further boreholes near human settlements. His joint research has shown that more water holes tend to attract more elephants.
Chamaillé-Jammes recommends closing watering holes on the eastern section of Hwange to steer elephants away from villages and instead, drilling boreholes in the center of the game reserve with some only operating during periods of extreme drought. These "safety pans" might be one way of ensuring elephants are more likely to stay within the perimeter of the park.
As rising global temperatures signal more extreme droughts in the future, a more sustainable intervention than chili concoctions and one-off ivory sales is needed to halt Zimbabwe's deadly battle for resources in a parched land.

Security Alert: IGP Alkali Issues Strong Directives to CPs Across 36 States
- A fresh order has been issued from the headquarters of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF)
- This new order was recently issued by the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali in a bid to combat insecurity
- However, the news order was directed to all the 36 commissioners of police including the FCT
FCT, Abuja - As part of efforts to ensure adequate security and the protection of lives and properties, a directive has been issued by the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali to all the 36 police commissioners across the state to beef up security in some strategic areas.
As reported by the Daily Trust newspaper, these strategic areas include the hospitals and schools across the federation.
However, in his statement issued by his spokesperson, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Legit.ng gathered that the directives were not limited to schools and hospitals but also the protection of other important structures across the 36 states.
The commissioners were further urged to ensure regular patrols, stop and search, and other forms of scrutiny in a bid to further eradicate insecurity across the federation.

Meanwhile, other departments of the police have been urged to step up their intelligence gathering efforts in order to clamp down on insecurity.
IGP calls for local intelligence gathering
The IGP advised that gathering intelligence from local and traditional outfits and areas should be prioritised as part of the efforts to end insecurity.
He said:
”I am equally charging all officers and men to be on the offensive, and take the fight against crime to the doorposts of suspected criminal elements, including bushes and uncompleted buildings. Profile them, and charge those found wanting to courts accordingly.”
Meanwhile, Nigerians have been urged to cooperate with the new order of things as it is expedient for the effective operations of police officers.
However, Police officers have been warned to be civil in their approach to civilians while discharging their duties.
You are fired! Police dismiss officer for searching commuter’s phone
In another development, the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) recently dismissed one of its officers for exhibiting gross misconduct.
It was gathered that the dismissed officer was caught in a viral video where he unlawfully searched the phone of a commuter.
As contained in the video, the commuter could be heard protesting why the officer was searching his phone despite the IGP's order prohibiting it.

A hybrid magnet in China has just smashed the previous record for the most powerful stable magnetic field, scientists claim.
At the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF), a magnet years in development achieved a steady magnetic field of 45.22 tesla – tens of thousands of times more powerful than your average souvenir fridge magnet.
This breaks the record for a steady magnetic field of 45 tesla, held by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) in the US since 1999. The breakthrough sets new limits on conditions commonly used to study various physical phenomena, offering new opportunities in research and innovation.
Both the MagLab and SHMFF research teams have been working on their own hybrid magnets for some time. This is a magnet that uses two different ways of creating a magnetic field: an outer superconducting ring, and an inner resistive Bitter magnet (that's a magnet based on stacked plates). Each of these technologies have their own limitations: the superconducting magnet has low power input needs, but an upper limit on magnetic field strength; the Bitter magnet requires a much higher power input.
Combining the two technologies significantly mitigates these limitations, allowing for the propagation of a powerful, steady magnetic field. This is how MagLab developed its 45 tesla magnet, and how, in 2016, the SHMFF attained a steady magnetic field strength of 40 tesla – an incredible achievement in its own right.
But the Chinese Academy of Sciences' team was not content to leave it there, and have continued, since then, to work on their magnet. Finally, that hard work has paid off.
"To achieve [a] higher magnetic field, we innovated the structure of the magnet, and developed new materials," said physicist Guangli Kuang, the academic director of High Magnetic Field Laboratory of Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. "The manufacturing process of the Bitter discs was also optimized."
With a power input of 26.9 megawatts, the team was able to achieve their 45.22 tesla record; and here, too, the magnet appears to be a leader. The 45 tesla magnet at MagLab requires a power input of 30 megawatts.
The SHMFF magnet, the team said, represents a step forward for materials science.
"The hybrid magnet of the National Steady State High Magnetic Field Experiment Facility produces the world's highest steady state magnetic field, which effectively improves the experimental conditions for scientists to carry out material science research, and will play an indispensable key role in the research of low-power electronic materials and other fields," the team wrote on the High Magnetic Field Laboratory website.
"As the strength of the magnetic field generated by the hybrid magnet increases, its openness and sharing level and user service level will also be greatly improved."
Meanwhile, MagLab retains the record for the most powerful magnetic field ever generated on Earth: in 2019, a superconducting magnet briefly achieved a strength of 45.5 tesla in a trial run. We'll be waiting to see if future improvements see it officially take the lead. | https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-just-broke-the-world-record-for-the-most-powerful-stable-magnetic-field | 2022-08-15T10:14:11Z | https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-just-broke-the-world-record-for-the-most-powerful-stable-magnetic-field | false | 1 |

Breaking news... Anne Heche dead.
Heche was removed from life support today after suffering major injuries from crashing into a house a week ago.
While we can rightfully point out that she did this to herself, we also need to show some grace.
