We have gone over the struggles Justin Fields had in his rookie NFL season of 2021. We have also gone over the fact that more often than not, those struggles were advanced (if not outright caused) by former head coach and offensive “shot-caller” Matt Nagy. Now that Nagy is mercifully gone — he’s back with the Chiefs as their senior assistant and quarterbacks coach for whatever reason — Fields can develop his NFL game in a less hostile and more hospitable environment.
To replace Nagy as Fields’ primary accomplice, the Bears, under new head coach Matt Eberflus, hired ex-Packers quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Luke Getsy. We’ve also discussed the ways in which Getsy can give Fields half a chance to succeed, which would be at least 100% more than Nagy ever gave him. From a moving pocket, to play-action, to pre-snap motion, there are all kinds of things Getsy can add to Fields’ plate to help him see, and react to what he’s seeing, on the field.
In the Bears’ preseason opener against the Chiefs (go figure), Fields completed four of seven passes for 48 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions, two sacks, and a passer rating of 78.3. Not a huge sample size, but Fields did look more comfortable for the most part. The sacks were caused to a degree by Fields reacting to open routes late, and he went touchdown-to-checkdown before he should have once in a while, but that’s part of the process. Fields has been debited by some as a “slow reader,” but that could be a function of the offense he ran at Ohio State, where plays took longer to develop at times.
The one play that got everyone in the Bears organization talking was Fields’ 19-yard completion to receiver Tajae Sharpe with 1:23 left in the first quarter. Sharpe ran up the boundary against cornerback Joshua Williams, and somehow brought this pass in against tight coverage. The throw from Fields was especially impressive, because safety Deon Bush was about to sack him on a blitz. Fields hung in the pocket, took his time, and let it fly.
Yeah, we saw that,” Eberflus said right after the Bears’ 19-14 win. “That was part of practice. We were letting him extend plays, throw the ball down the field, and I think you saw it there. He’s got great instincts. He’s an instinctual player, and he has to harness that and use that, and he’s doing that right now.”
Fields, who said that he changed the protection before the play based on the blitz, had this to say about the throw and catch.
“Yeah, just kind of gave [Sharpe] a signal out there and threw the ball up one on-one,” Fields said. “Of course preseason. you’re going to see a lot of man coverage, so just gave him a shot and he came down with it. He’s a great receiver, has great ball skills, has great routes, so I’m excited to see what he does for us this season for sure.”
Fields also discussed the adjustments to his timing this season, and how that can be helped by route concepts.
“I think the internal clock comes with of course plays, but also a route. I knew it was one-on-one the whole time, so I’d better not be holding on to the ball that long if I know I’m going there before the play starts. So I think some plays, you have to have that internal clock and just have that feel of the pocket to see where guys are coming from. Of course, if you have to escape you have to escape, but of course there’s always that internal clock going off in your head.”
Fields will have his second opportunity to show growth in the post-Nagy era when the Bears take on the Seahawks Thursday night. | https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/2022/08/18/jsutin-fields-matt-nagy-tajae-sharpe/ | 2022-08-18T17:17:00Z | https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/2022/08/18/jsutin-fields-matt-nagy-tajae-sharpe/ | false | 3 |
BOGOTA, 17 Aug. 22 / 03:29 pm (ACI).- The president of the citizen platform Unidos pela Vida, Jesús Magaña, said that the decision by the government of Gustavo Petro not to be present in the vote on the Organization’s resolution is “shameful” and “ideologized”. of the American States (OAS) that condemned the persecution in Nicaragua against the Catholic Church and any person or organization that opposes President Daniel Ortega, former guerrilla leader of the Sandinista National Liberation Front, the leftist group that seized power in the country in 1979 .
On Friday (12), in a special session, the OAS Permanent Council adopted a resolution that “strongly condemned the forced closure of non-governmental organizations, and the harassment and arbitrary restrictions of religious organizations and voices critical of the government and its actions. in Nicaragua”.
The document, entitled “The situation in Nicaragua”, was approved with 27 votes in favor, 4 abstentions (El Salvador, Honduras, Bolivia and Mexico) and one vote against (St. Vincent and the Grenadines). Of the 34 OAS members, only Nicaragua and Colombia were absent.
RESOLUTION | “The Situation in #Nicaragua“

— OAS (@OAS_official) August 12, 2022
The absence of the Colombian delegation was criticized inside and outside the country. This is the first performance in the OAS by the government of Gustavo Petro, also a former leftist guerrilla. Petro was part of the M-19, a virtually extinct guerrilla group.
“Colombia’s situation, of not being present in this resolution on Friday, is shameful, it is an ideological position of the Gustavo Petro government that does not respect, does not defend the human rights that it claims to defend on its ideological platform,” Jesús Magaña told ICA. Prensa, Spanish-language agency of the ACI group.
The pro-life leader said it is a common attitude “among leftist rulers” to “look the other way” when an ideologically related regime commits human rights abuses.
Magaña said that “the same position that was maintained in relation to Cuba” is “now the position that the government of Gustavo Petro has against Nicaragua, which clearly and openly violates the fundamental rights of the population.”
On November 26, 2016, the day after the death of Fidel Castro, the current president of Colombia expressed his admiration for the Cuban dictator.
“Fidel is inseparable from Latin American history, as is Bolívar. Two rebels, two always alive,” Petro wrote on his Twitter account.

Regarding the Nicaraguan dictatorship of Daniel Ortega, Magaña said that “sooner or later we will see the fall of this abominable regime that will go to the dustbin of history for being a demagogic, oppressive government, for being a government that destroys freedoms totally aligned with this ideology. Marxist who destroys”.
Demonstration in front of the Nicaraguan Embassy
Yesterday (16) a demonstration took place in front of the Nicaraguan embassy in Bogotá, Colombia, to demand an end to human rights abuses, among whose victims are several priests and the Bishop of Matagalpa, Monsignor Rolando Álvarez, whose house is surrounded by police since August 4th.

The demonstration was convened by a youth group called Sem Medida, and was attended by Unidos pela Vida, Mais Colombia and other organizations.
The demonstrators prayed the rosary and read a communiqué that was delivered to embassy officials, demanding the freedom of Monsignor Álvarez, the priests and the Nicaraguan population.

Pope rules against investigating Canadian cardinal over sex assault claim
Pope Francis has decided there is not sufficient evidence to open a Church investigation into Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet over allegations of sexual assault, the Vatican said in a statement on Thursday.
Pope Francis has decided there is not sufficient evidence to open a Church investigation into Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet over allegations of sexual assault, the Vatican said in a statement on Thursday. Ouellet, a prominent Vatican official, was named earlier this week in a class action lawsuit against the Quebec Catholic diocese that alleged cases of sexual assault by some 88 priests and staff working at the diocese starting in 1940.
In the filing in Quebec Superior Court, an anonymous complainant alleged that Ouellet inappropriately touched her, and made comments that made her feel uncomfortable between 2008 and 2010 when Ouellet was archbishop of Quebec and she was working as an intern in her 20s. The Vatican was told about the allegations in 2021 and Francis appointed a priestly investigator, Jacques Servais, to look into the case. Servais subsequently advised against launching a full church investigation, the Vatican said.
"Following further relevant consultations, Pope Francis declared that there were not sufficient elements to open a canonical investigation for sexual assault by Cardinal Ouellet," Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a statement. Ouellet has not made any public comment about the allegations.
He heads the Vatican's powerful Congregation for Bishops which advises the pope on which priests should be made bishops, and is on many experts’ short list of possible candidates to succeed Pope Francis after the pontiff dies or resigns. Last month, he accompanied the pope on a six-day visit to Canada that focused on apologising to indigenous people for abuse in government schools run by the Roman Catholic Church.
The class action against the Quebec diocese was authorized in May to proceed. Ouellet himself faces no criminal charges over the allegations. The suit includes the names of priests who served in the diocese and at educational institutions, including the Quebec seminary. Most of those named are deceased.
The Vatican said Servais had read the allegations made against Ouellet by the woman, and also interviewed her via Zoom. "This person did not make any accusation that would provide the basis for ... an investigation," the Vatican cited Servais as saying.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Las Vegas City Council approved plans to demolish one of the former homes of German-American entertainers Siegfried & Roy.
For decades, the legendary Las Vegas performers had a huge home site originally consisting of dozens of acres that included what they called “Little Bavaria,” which was reminiscent of their homeland.
Developers want to build apartments on the remaining 12 acres.
Siegfried Fischbacher died in Jan. 2021, and Roy Horn died in May 2020.
According to a city council staff report, a local developer plans to build a 334-unit, four-story apartment complex. If approved, the project won’t start until 2024.
Personal items belonging to the men were auctioned off in June in Los Angeles.
For years, Siegfried & Roy was an institution in Las Vegas, where Fischbacher and Horn’s magic and artistry consistently attracted sellout crowds. The pair performed six shows a week, 44 weeks per year.

Putin’s on the brink
In Vietnam, Afghanistan and many other conflicts, the stronger power lost because it could not win, and the weaker power triumphed simply because it did not lose. So shall it be in Ukraine, where the same process is playing out rapidly.
In less than six months, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war of choice has had catastrophic consequences — for Russia itself. It has resulted in at least 60,000 Russian casualties, more than the total number of fatalities suffered during the 10-year Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. It has led to a long-term Russian loss of political influence and energy leverage in the West. It has helped resuscitate the NATO alliance, which just a few years ago seemed to be on its last legs. And it has inflicted severe, long-term damage on the Russian economy, effectively erasing all of the gains made since the Soviet Union’s collapse.
And what has Russia gotten for this? Only a few more slivers of land in Ukraine — land that the Kremlin may not be able to hold for very long.
Russia’s elites already know this. As the body bags, wounded and discharged soldiers return to Russia, the Russian people are beginning to comprehend it as well. All of which increases Putin’s domestic political vulnerability — and puts him under growing pressure to find some way to declare victory.
As a result, Russia’s president has continued to double down on his campaign of aggression. Following its failure to take Kyiv, Kharkiv and other Ukrainian territories, the Kremlin retooled its strategic objectives, narrowing them to the more limited aim of fully conquering the Ukrainian provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk, both of which had been partially occupied since 2014. At great human cost, some gains have been made toward that goal. Overall, however, Russia’s revamped offensive can be classified as a strategic failure, as more and more Russians die to temporarily hold non-strategic territory.
This failure, in turn, has caused other problems. The troops used for cannon fodder in the Kremlin’s campaign have been disproportionally not ethnically Russian — something that has caused a souring of troop morale and stoked tensions between ethnically Russian troops and those from places like Buryatia (traditionally Buddhist) and Dagestan (mostly Muslim). Some soldiers are now refusing to fight, and discontent among their families presents a growing problem for Russia’s government.
But what is perhaps Putin’s most dangerous “bad bet” is now unfolding. With the destruction of the bridges necessary to resupply and/or reinforce them, the estimated 20,000 Russian troops on the west bank of the Dnipro River are trapped, effectively surrounded by Ukrainian forces without the capability to break out or to fight for any extended period of time. Putin did not reposition these troops when he had the chance to do so, effectively leaving them stranded. As a result, some senior commanders have deserted across the river, damaging Russian troop morale in Kherson and elsewhere.
All this makes Putin’s internal situation worse, as more and more members of Russia’s power ministries focus on his ongoing — and disastrous — mistakes. Eventually, a critical mass of Russia’s decision-making elites (those with guns or money) will conclude that the country needs to cut its losses by withdrawing its forces from Ukraine, because doing so would be a precondition for the removal of Western sanctions and allowing Russia to rebuild its army and economy.
This, however, cannot be done with Putin still in power.
Although removing Russia’s president from power won’t be easy, eventually the balance will inexorably shift from the dwindling number of stalwarts who still support his war aims to those who want to cut their losses.
That point could well come if the stalemate in the Donbas continues, and Ukraine starts to recapture territory now occupied by Russia. Today, both of those outcomes are distinctly possible. As a result, so too is a possible end to the current war.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles County coroner's office says actor Anne Heche died from burns and inhalation injury after her fiery car crash, and the death has been ruled an accident.
The cause of her death was released Wednesday on the coroner's website, although a formal autopsy report is still being completed.
According to the report, the 53-year-old fractured her sternum caused by "blunt trauma."
On Aug. 5, she plowed her car into a Los Angeles home and it caught fire.
Her family has said she suffered a severe brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen.
The coroner's office says she died on Aug. 11, but she wasn't removed from life support until Sunday, so her organs could be donated.
Detectives investigating the crash had said narcotics were found in a blood sample taken from the actress. However, the police ended their investigation after she was declared brain-dead. | https://www.wtkr.com/entertainment/anne-heches-death-ruled-accidental-after-fiery-car-crash | 2022-08-18T17:50:08Z | https://www.wtkr.com/entertainment/anne-heches-death-ruled-accidental-after-fiery-car-crash | true | 13 |

'Tyson Fury would love it': Golden crucifix necklace set to take £30k at auction
A HUGE gold crucifix necklace is set to fetch £30,000 at auction - with the owner reckoning boxer Tyson Fury will take a shine to it.
Andreo Montanino, 33, bought the chunky 3½lb treasure in honour of his late gran, who was a devout Roman Catholic.
But now the senior buyer wants to sell the nine carat, 9 inch cross.
Andreo, of Trowell, Notts, said: "My nan believed items like this, Jesus on the cross, were sacred and should be treated with the utmost respect.
"I lost her about 18 months ago. She was in her 80s. As soon as I saw that cross, it reminded me of her."
And he reckons bling-loving boxing champion Tyson, who is a devout Christian, would appreciate it.
He said: "It's so special, it would work well if it was worn around the neck of a famous boxer on the walkout to the ring, someone like Tyson Fury."
The hefty cross and chain will go under the hammer at Hansons Auctioneers in Derby on September 22. | https://www.express.co.uk/news/history/1657204/golden-crucifix-tyson-fury-auction-catholic-gran | 2022-08-18T17:50:45Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/history/1657204/golden-crucifix-tyson-fury-auction-catholic-gran | false | 1 |

Manchester United are growing increasingly confident they will land Real Madrid star Casemiro, GOAL understands. Significant progress has been made in their pursuit of the Brazil midfielder, who is expected to cost around £60 million ($72m).
Erik ten Hag turned his attention to the five-time Champions League winner after growing frustrated by the failure to sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
The Red Devils also pulled out of a deal for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot this week because of the France international's personal demands.
A deal is getting closer
The move for Casemiro was originally described as a "long shot" from Manchester United insiders - but such has been the rapid progress this week that there is now strong belief he will head to Old Trafford.
Casemiro is said to be keen on a move to the club after seeing Real Madrid sign Aurelien Tchouameni this summer - an implicit message that his days at the Santiago Bernabeu may be numbered.
The 30-year-old has won everything with the Spanish giants and is believed to be relishing a new challenge in the Premier League.
Real Madrid are also said to accept his desire to leave.
What about De Jong?
De Jong has been Ten Hag's priority target all summer - and the Manchester United manager was convinced he would be reunited with the player he worked with at Ajax.
But despite Manchester United agreeing a fee worth up to £71 million ($85m) with Barcelona, De Jong's reluctance to leave Camp Nou has proved a major obstacle.
While Ten Hag's interest in De Jong is not officially over, Casemiro is seen a world class alternative to the Netherlands international who perfectly fits the club's need for more muscle in the midfield.
Transfer scramble
The move for Casemiro is expected to spark a flurry of activity from Manchester United in the final days of the transfer window.
Ten Hag would ideally like two midfielders, with Brighton's Moises Caicedo also of interest.
The Red Devils also want to bolster their attack and are considering a fresh move for Ajax winger Antony, while Ten Hag has made a case for Chelsea forward Hakim Ziyech as well.
If Cristiano Ronaldo leaves, the club would also need a replacement for him.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka could head to Crystal Palace for £10 million, which would pave the way for a new right-back, while cover for David de Gea is also desired. | https://www.goal.com/en-my/news/man-utd-casemiro-transfer-progresses-with-real-madrid-star/blta7eec1e966ba2028 | 2022-08-18T17:55:03Z | https://www.goal.com/en-my/news/man-utd-casemiro-transfer-progresses-with-real-madrid-star/blta7eec1e966ba2028 | true | 12 |
Graham appeals order to testify in Georgia election probe
ATLANTA (AP) — U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has formally appealed a judge’s order requiring him to testify before a special grand jury investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally sought to overturn his 2020 election defeat in Georgia.
The South Carolina Republican’s appeal had been expected following a judge’s Monday ruling that he comply with prosecutors’ efforts to compel him to testify Aug. 23 about his phone calls to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff in the weeks following the election.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will consider Graham’s request, filed late Wednesday. Graham’s legal team also asked a federal judge to put his special grand jury appearance on hold during the appeal process.
Graham’s appeal was made the same day that another Trump associate, former campaign attorney Rudy Giuliani, spent roughly six hours before the special grand jury. The former New York mayor spread false claims of election fraud in Fulton County as he led efforts to challenge the election results in Georgia.
Met by an Associated Press reporter at the airport as he returned to New York on Wednesday, Giuliani said that he had “satisfied his obligation under the subpoena” from prosecutors but gave no further details of his testimony.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has indicated she is interested in the details of a phone call between Graham and Raffensperger shortly after the 2020 election. At the time, Raffensperger said that Graham asked if he had the power to reject certain absentee ballots and that he interpreted the question as a suggestion to toss out legally cast votes.
Graham also “made reference to allegations of widespread voter fraud in the November 2020 election in Georgia, consistent with public statements made by known affiliates of the Trump Campaign,” Willis wrote in a court filing.
Graham has argued that calls were part of his duties as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, with his legal team — which includes former Trump White House counsel Don McGahn — arguing that Graham’s position in Congress protects him from having to appear before the grand jury.
Willis opened her probe into post-election actions by Trump and his allies after the disclosure of a remarkable Jan. 2, 2021, phone call between Raffensperger and Trump in which the then-president suggested the state official could “find” the exact number of votes that would be needed to flip the election results in Georgia.
Denying any wrongdoing, Trump has described the call as “perfect.”
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, meanwhile, had received a subpoena to appear before the special grand jury on Thursday. But his lawyers on Wednesday filed a motion to quash it, and Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney said the governor doesn’t have to appear while that motion is pending, Kemp spokesperson Katie Byrd said.

Best controllers for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 in 2022
By Jennifer Locke published
These Android controllers work wonderfully with Samsung's foldable.
Foldables are quickly becoming a larger share of the mobile phone market, and the size of their screens makes them excellent for gaming. Though built-in touch controls may be difficult to use depending on the game, what works best is a good mobile controller paired up with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.
It may be a large phone, but there are still several wonderful options out there when looking for a controller to use with it.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 has a 6.2-inch and 7.6-inch screen diagonal when folded and unfolded, respectively. Its full length, whether folded or unfolded, reaches 6.11-inches, and that's the important number to take into account when trying to find a mobile controller that supports it.
You'll find plenty of the best Android controllers use either USB-C or Bluetooth connections. When it comes to finding the best for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, it'll almost always be Bluetooth.
The best controllers for your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
Impeccable design for foldables
The MG-X Pro has quickly found itself near the top of almost every mobile controller roundup for good reason; it sports a near-perfect built with textured grips that mimic traditional console controllers. With a secure spring-loaded fit and a Bluetooth connection, it's almost like it was designed for the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
Tabletop stand included
After testing out PowerA's Moga XP7-X Plus, we found it to be an excellent mobile controller with a similar build to the MG-X Pro. Where it differs is that it comes with a small tabletop stand that can be used to prop up the phone, should you prefer to play games that way. If not, its body can still stretch to fit the Z Fold 4 like any other phone.
Switch it up
The Gamesir X2 Bluetooth removes the traditional controller grip design for one that more closely resembles the Joy-Cons on the Nintendo Switch. Though we think the thumbsticks are a little too small for their own good, the package includes thumbstick grips that all but sort out that issue. With a solid Bluetooth connection, it's another great option for the Z Fold 4.
Sony's finest
If you already have a PS5, then you have one of the best controllers lying around somewhere in your home. Despite being designed for console, it makes a great mobile controller as well, and it works with any Android system running Android 12 or later. You'll probably want to get a stand for your Galaxy Z Fold 4 while using the DualSense, but it's a small concession.
Near-perfect ergonomics
For Xbox users out there, it doesn't get better than the Xbox Series X Core controller. Its concave, eight-directional D-pad works well for platformers, and its textured thumbsticks ensure that you can use it for hours on end without any issues. Like the DualSense, you'll probably want to get a separate phone stand if you choose to use this controller for the Z Fold 4.
Multipurpose stand
SUPCASE already makes some of the best smartphone accessories in the business, and that includes the portable stand. It fits devices ranging from 4 to 13-inches, and can adjust up to 270-degrees depending on how you want to view the screen. Considering it's compatible with such a wide range of devices, it's easy to recommend for the Z Fold 4. Even if you don't use it for gaming, it's pretty useful.
Most mobile controllers aren't designed with foldables in mind
Foldable smartphones are still relatively new to the scene, and while more companies are making them for consumers, accessories aren't always being designed with foldables in mind. Likewise, foldables aren't designed with controllers in mind, and that can make for some awkward use cases with mobile controllers that are technically compatible.
Take the Razer Kishi V2 for instance: Because of its USB-C connection, and the fact that the USB-C port on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is on the right side, using it would mean that you're essentially playing with the entire bottom half of the phone hanging out of the controller. This is similar to GameSir's USB-C controller models, though thankfully, the X2 Bluetooth doesn't have that same issue.
When it comes to controllers for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, you can't go wrong with the Nacon MG-X Pro or the PowerA Moga XP7-X Plus. We've spent quite a while with both controllers, and found them to be some of the best around. They also just so happen to support Bluetooth connections, and have a wide enough build to fit the Z Fold 4.
Keep in mind that not all mobile games will feature controller support, but for those that do, it's well worth the money to invest in one.

The U.S. Department of State has reissued a travel warning Tuesday in multiple states in Mexico, alerting American visitors to the high risk of crime and kidnappings in regions of the country.
The State Department warns travelers about cartel-related crime as well.
The travel advisory comes on the heels of a shelter-in-place alert in the Tijuana region, where cartel violence erupted last week in response to a series of arrests of drug cartel figures.
Mexico sent hundreds of troops to the border region after cars, buses and businesses were set on fire. Images and videos shared on social media showed the chaos and destruction.
Aside from the warnings for everyday citizens, U.S. government employees have been direct to not travel alone, or to remote areas, avoid travel between cities after dark, and urged to use dispatched cars instead of taxis.
Here is a list of Mexican states where travel is not recommended:
Do Not Travel To:
- Colima state due to crime and kidnapping.
- Guerrero state due to crime.
- Michoacan state due to crime and kidnapping.
- Sinaloa state due to crime and kidnapping
- Tamaulipas state due to crime and kidnapping.

Reconsider Travel To:
- Baja California state due to crime and kidnapping.
- Chihuahua state due to crime and kidnapping.
- Durango state due to crime.

The Department of State site recommends that if you do travel despite the warnings, you should follow these safety rules:
- Keep traveling companions and family back home informed of your travel plans. If separating from your travel group, send a friend your GPS location. If taking a taxi alone, take a photo of the taxi number and/or license plate and text it to a friend.
- Use toll roads when possible and avoid driving alone or at night. In many states, police presence and emergency services are extremely limited outside the state capital or major cities.
- Exercise increased caution when visiting local bars, nightclubs, and casinos.
- Do not display signs of wealth, such as wearing expensive watches or jewelry.
- Be extra vigilant when visiting banks or ATMs.
- Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
- Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter.
- Follow the U.S. Embassy on Facebook and Twitter.
- Review the Country Security Report for Mexico.
- Prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, BlueHalo expands its Albuquerque, New Mexico campus–opening the doors to its new 73,000-square-foot research and development, manufacturing, and office space within Sandia Science and Technology Park (SS&TP). Local, state, and federal partners were on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the occasion alongside BlueHalo executives and team members.
"We are fortunate to have strong partnerships with leaders from across New Mexico and the local Albuquerque community as we partner to transform the state into a hub of space technology," said Jonathan Moneymaker, BlueHalo Chief Executive Officer. "These partnerships–along with our investments in leading facilities and a strong workforce–will enable BlueHalo to not only meet the demand for current products and programs but to collaborate, innovate, and develop our nation's next technological breakthroughs critical to National Security."
The opening of the new facility comes as BlueHalo announced last month an additional lease of the neighboring 1300 Eubank SE property, bringing the company's total Albuquerque footprint to over 200,000 square feet. This state-of-the-art campus will accommodate continued technology innovation and rapid transition to manufacturing for BlueHalo products across multiple mission areas, including Advanced Radio Frequency (RF) Systems; Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) and Directed Energy; Laser Communications; and Space-Qualified Electronics and Systems, such as Stabilized Precision Optics and Tracking (SPOT) products.
"It is no accident that New Mexico has become the national leader in a wide range of new and emerging defense technologies. The success of homegrown companies like BlueHalo is the direct result of strategic investments over many years in the sustained success of program management and acquisition entities housed within our state's national defense labs and military installations," said U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM). "BlueHalo's rapid growth in particular—as evidenced by this brand-new, dedicated manufacturing facility—is emblematic of how successful we have been in building a thriving local innovation ecosystem both inside and outside the fence line at Kirtland Air Force Base and in close partnership with the Air Force Research Lab. I am so proud to see how far this work has come, and I commend everyone who has gone above and beyond to ensure our service members are equipped with the best defense technologies in the world."
BlueHalo currently employs 300 professionals on its SS&TP campus, including researchers, engineers, hardware and software developers, and security and intelligence experts. The new facility will create more than 70 additional jobs with an average salary of $90,000.
"Blue Halo's expansion at the Sandia Science and Technology Park demonstrates again that New Mexico's partnerships can help drive innovation and develop vital, breakthrough technologies," said New Mexico Economic Development Secretary Alicia J. Keyes. "The State is proud to support this company and I congratulate Blue Halo as it moves forward creating 70 new jobs, bringing its skilled Albuquerque workforce to almost 400 employees."
Since BlueHalo first announced its plan to renovate the Gibson SE facility in March, company leaders have worked with commercial realtor David Hill of NAI SunVista and the architecture firm of Dekker/Perich/Sabatini along with construction consultant David Doyle and Jeff Slopek and Matt Martinez of Klinger Constructors, LLC to transform the facility. In addition to expanded office space, the new location features highly-equipped research and development labs, a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF), and 37,000 square feet of high-bay manufacturing space.
"The new BlueHalo facility and Albuquerque expansion is a testament to the technology innovation and dedication of our employees, partners, and customers," said Katie Selbe, BlueHalo Chief Operating Officer. "The expanded capacity we gain, combined with our firm commitment to the development of inspired engineering innovation, people, and mission will poise BlueHalo to continue leading the transformation and facilitate the delivery of new technologies across multiple mission areas of national defense."
"The future of directed energy and aerospace will be built in Albuquerque," said Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller. "A lot of folks across government, business, and throughout this city's talented workforce have worked hard to ensure that. BlueHalo's continuing investment in this community is bringing more high-quality research and manufacturing jobs and it is another clear indicator that Albuquerque has the infrastructure and talent to lead in this high-growth industry."
BlueHalo is purpose-built to provide industry-leading capabilities in the domains of Space Superiority, Space Technology, Directed Energy/Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS), Autonomy, Advanced Radio Frequency (RF), Cyber, and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). BlueHalo focuses on inspired engineering to develop, transition, and field next-generation capabilities to solve the most complex challenges of our customers' critical missions and reestablish our national security posture in the near-peer contested arena. www.bluehalo.com

The Supreme Court on Thursday set a deadline of three months for the trial court to decide framing of charges in the 2018 Bhima Koregaon case.
A bench comprising justices U.U. Lalit and S. Ravindra Bhat noted National Investigation Agency (NIA’s) plea that there are four accused who have not been arrested so far in the case.
It asked the NIA to move the special court to segregate the trial against the 15 accused arrested in the Bhima Koregaon case from that of the accused who are still missing so that the trial can begin in the Bhima Koregaon case.
The bench asked the agency to declare the other four accused as proclaimed offenders.
The trial against social activists accused in the case is not progressing and even framing of charges have not taken place and the accused are in custody for the last four years.
The bench said as some accused have preferred discharge applications, the same should also be heard simultaneously.
“Let the entire exercise be undertaken in three months,” said the bench.
The top court passed the direction while hearing a bail plea by Vernon Gonsalves, one of the accused, who sought bail on the ground that he was in jail since August 2018 and the trial has not started yet. He pointed out that some other accused have already been released on bail.
The bench observed that his case was not similar to the other accused, as he was convicted in a 2011 case under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
The bench told Gonsalves to wait for three months, as it directed the trial court to decide whether charges could be framed against him.
Additional solicitor general (ASG) SV Raju, representing NIA, opposed Gonsalves’ bail plea.
A total of 16 accused were arrested in the Elgar Parishad-Bhima Koregaon case and one of them, Father Stan Swamy, a tribal rights activist, died in custody.
Two other accused — activist and law teacher Sudha Bhardwaj and Telugu poet Varavara Rao — have been granted bail. Rao was recently granted bail on medical grounds.

Overnight rainfall gave firefighters in the Valencian Community some hope of respite from the forest fire that has been burning now for three days in the municipality of Bejis. Flames along the perimeter of the fire had been extinguished by the rain but sudden strong winds reignited some pockets.
As confirmed by Las Provincias, the blaze subsequently advanced towards the town of Altura and the church of Cueva Santa, located on the edge of the Sierra Calderona Natural Park. As confirmed this afternoon, Thursday, August 18, by the minister Gabriela Bravo, in A Punt, “the southern front is worrying”.

As a result of the unstoppable spread of the flames – which are being fed by the winds – the decision was made to evacuate the population of the town of Alcublas. Several more municipalities have been affected this afternoon. These include Andilla, La Pobleta, Oset, and Artaj.
As reported by the forest fire service of the GVA on their official Twitter account this afternoon, the gusts of wind in the area make it impossible for forest firefighters and personnel belonging to the Diputacion de Castellon to carry out extinction tasks in the area.
A spokesperson for the Advanced Command Post said that “due to the effects of the smoke” the population of Alcublas has been confined. In mid-afternoon, the confinement of the town of Andilla was announced.
The Council recommended that “the people who are in Andilla, La Pobleta, Artaj, Osset, and scattered throughout the Pardanchinos area, Casa La Señora… in their second residences, move to their habitual residence”. Those living in Artaj and Oset have been evacuated according to the Advanced Command Post.

112 of the Generalitat Valenciana reported that up to 20 litres of rainfall had been registered in the area of the Bejis fire since the afternoon of Wednesday, August 17. These rains ‘have reduced the flames to the point of almost disappearing around the perimeter’, they said. They later added that a ‘positive humidity input had been registered, although ‘there are still very hot areas’.
A decision is expected to be made later this afternoon to allow residents of Alto Palancia to possibly return to their homes.
Another fire that had been burning in Vall d’Ebo has been extinguished by the more than 40 litres of rainfall that the area received. “There is no flame on any front”, according to a tweet from 112. “The perimeter is more stable after the rains. There has been a small reproduction in the Benimassot area but it is already controlled”, said their message.

(WXIN) — A homicide investigation is underway in New Zealand after a family found the remains of two children inside suitcases they bought from a storage facility in an online auction.
The family alerted police to the discovery last week after finding the remains inside the suitcases. New Zealand police characterized the find as “extremely upsetting.”
The family who bought the suitcases doesn’t have anything to do with the remains, police said, and they are cooperating with the investigation. Police have asked the media to “respect their privacy at this difficult time.”
Police said the family was “understandably distressed” by the discovery, which was made in the South Auckland suburb of Manurewa.
An examination found that the suitcases contained the remains of two elementary school-age children, police said Wednesday.
“Early indications suggest these children may have been deceased for a number of years before being found last week,” said Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua.
“Formal identification procedures are still ongoing, which means police are not yet able to comment on the identities of the children,” he said.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the children and how their remains ended up at the storage facility.
“We are continuing to treat this matter very seriously and we are determined to hold the person, or persons, responsible for the deaths of these children to account,” Vaaelua said. | https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/strange/childrens-remains-found-in-suitcases-from-new-zealand-auction/ | 2022-08-18T18:20:25Z | https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/strange/childrens-remains-found-in-suitcases-from-new-zealand-auction/ | true | 23 |

NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") is pleased to announce that, on August 18, 2022, its Board of Directors approved a dividend for the second quarter of 2022 of 5.50% (annualized). The dollar amount of the dividend will be approximately $64.6 million. The cash dividend will be distributed to member financial institutions on August 19, 2022.
"Through the first half of 2022, we have seen advances levels steadily increase both at the FHLBNY and across the Federal Home Loan Bank System as our members look to their reliable liquidity partner amid an ever-changing operating environment," said José R. González, president, and CEO of the FHLBNY. "Our reliability is reflected not only in the uninterrupted availability of our funding but our continued ability to provide a consistent and reasonable return on the capital our members have invested in our cooperative."
The health and economic crises resulting from COVID-19 continue to be unpredictable and may affect the environment in which the FHLBNY operates. Changes to market and business conditions may negatively impact the FHLBNY's financial performance and level of dividends. The FHLBNY will continue to assess the potential effects of changes in the environment on its financial performance and dividend strategy.
The FHLBNY filed its Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2022 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2022.
The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York is a Congressionally chartered, wholesale Bank. It is part of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, a national wholesale banking network of 11 regional, stockholder-owned banks. As of June 30, 2022, the FHLBNY serves 315 financial institutions in New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Federal Home Loan Banks support the efforts of local members to help provide financing for America's homebuyers.

Convicted terrorist from Middlesbrough back in jail after breaching court requirements
A man from Middlesbrough has been jailed for breaching his terrorist notification requirements.
Anwar Said Driouich, 24, is a convicted terrorist offender who in 2020 was sentenced to 20 months' imprisonment.
It followed convictions for possessing explosives (contrary to Explosives Act 1883) and Possessing Terrorist Material (contrary to S58 Terrorism Act 2000).
This meant he was subjected to Notification Requirements under the Counter Terrorism Act 2008 upon his release.
Driouich was subsequently charged with breaches, that occurred between October 2021 and January 2022, which included withholding from the police an alias name and financial accounts.
He eventually pleaded guilty to these offences at Manchester Crown Court on Friday 12 August after overwhelming evidence was submitted by the police prior to a trial.
Detective Chief Superintendent Peter Craig, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing North- East, said: "Today’s outcome will hopefully act as a reminder that we continue to monitor those that have been convicted of terrorism, released from prison and subjected to Part 4 Notification Requirements.”
"Terrorism is a continuous ongoing problem and I would therefore urge people to remain vigilant and act by reporting in confidence anything they hear or see that doesn’t seem right, online or in the real word."

Investors in Flowers Foods, Inc. (Symbol: FLO) saw new options begin trading today, for the April 2023 expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 246 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the FLO options chain for the new April 2023 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $25.00 strike price has a current bid of 20 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $25.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $24.80 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of FLO, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $27.97/share today.
Because the $25.00 strike represents an approximate 11% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 0.80% return on the cash commitment, or 1.19% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Flowers Foods, Inc., and highlighting in green where the $25.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $30.00 strike price has a current bid of 20 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of FLO stock at the current price level of $27.97/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $30.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 7.97% if the stock gets called away at the April 2023 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if FLO shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Flowers Foods, Inc., as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing FLO's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $30.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $30.00 strike represents an approximate 7% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 0.72% boost of extra return to the investor, or 1.06% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 252 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $27.97) to be 21%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Google Cloud Wednesday announced the general availability of what it calls “curated detection” for its Chronicle security analysis platform. The new detection feature leverages the threat intelligence that Google gains from protecting its own user base into an automated detection service that covers everything from ransomware, infostealers and data theft to simple misconfigured systems and remote access tools.
The new product will integrate authoritative data sources like MITRE ATT&CK to help organizations contextualize and better understand potential threats, as well as providing constantly updated threat information from Google’s own security team.
Google Cloud has made two recent security updates to its own products—including built-in DDoS protection and API security—but it’s important to recognize that, while curated detection builds on the company’s in-house expertise, Chronicle is very much a product to be sold to everyone, including non-Google Cloud customers.
Chronicle’s new features don’t make it a full-fledged managed detection and response (MDR) service—where vendors manage detection and response for customers in their infrastructure—but the market for threat detection in general is growing, according to Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst Neil MacDonald. Gartner projects the MDR market to grow at 49% year-over-year, on an already sizeable $2.5 billion in annual revenue.
The technology’s popularity is largely a function of the ever-increasing complexity of modern security, and the increasing knowledge gap among in-house security teams, he says.
“Every organization is under attack, every organization wants to do a better job detecting and responding to these events and every organization struggles with finding staff to handle it,” MacDonald says. “So the idea of turning to a third party to handle it on their behalf makes a lot of sense.”
The announcement for the revamped Chronicle announcement is also likely a response to rival Microsoft, which introduced a similar set of managed detection and response services earlier this year. With independent companies like CrowdStrike, Arctic Wolf and Red Canary making major headway in the sector, it’s no surprise that powerhouses like Microsoft and Google want to follow suit and claim a piece of the pie.
“It’s important to understand that when Google brought in Chronicle [out of its X research subsidiary], their intention was to enter the broader security information and event management space to compete with Microsoft’s Sentinel.”
(This story has been updated to clarify the scope of Chronicle's curated detection service.) | https://www.csoonline.com/article/3669859/google-updates-chronicle-with-enhanced-threat-detection.html | 2022-08-18T18:26:52Z | https://www.csoonline.com/article/3669859/google-updates-chronicle-with-enhanced-threat-detection.html | true | 1 |

Ronald Anderson for Governor of California 2022 (Graphic: Business Wire)
"Hi I'm Ronald A. Anderson. I'm a candidate running for California Governor 2022.
I am very concerned on the direction of our country and state is going. There are more problems than ever before. The system we now have on Crime is no good at all. I will change this right away for the better. We must LOWER taxes. If people start giving out raises, we are not accomplishing nothing but only driving the cost of living even higher and this is harmful to everyone (And they'll just do it again to us and cause another upset) This needs to stop right now and the people need to realize this but fast.
I have a lot of great ideas that will solve the many problems of today's issues that we now face. It's unbelievable what we have all gone through and endured and it's not that hard to fix. I see some things being fixed in one day while others will take a little longer. But will show great results and growth and safety for everyone. I will be using a little bit of history to fix some issues and the opposite of history that was done to undo to fix other issues. This is why I know it will work. Many other candidates in regarding the homeless issues won't work at all and only cost the taxpayers money with no results; I have done a study and I can explain why it won't work and the idea that I have will and will show results in both eliminating the bad eyesore as well as very little to no more homeless, a large percent of homeless will be reformed. As I said I have a plan like no other.
I thank you so much for your time please VOTE for me Ronald A. Anderson, You will be getting the best results and action being taken quickly of the issues concerned."
Please go to the website; randersongov22.com

KBRA comments on Brookline Bancorp, Inc.'s BRKL (Brookline or the company) proposed acquisition of PCSB Financial Corporation PCSB.
Boston-based Brookline (KBRA senior BHC rating: BBB/Stable Outlook) announced on May 24, 2022, a merger agreement with Yorktown Heights, New York-based, PCSB Financial and its subsidiary, PCSB Bank. The proposed transaction, valued at $313 million, is structured with 60% stock and 40% cash, and it reflects a price/tangible book value of about 118%. PCSB Bank will remain a separate bank subsidiary and will join Brookline Bank and Bank Rhode Island as BRKL's third bank charter. Expected to close in the 2H22, the transaction remains in line with the company's stated acquisition strategy and is consistent with BRKL's expansion in suburban markets outside of major metro cities with similar demographics. KBRA considers the proposed transaction complementary to Brookline's operations, providing scale and market expansion in an attractive metropolitan statistical area (MSA), while offering solid opportunities to leverage BRKL's more diverse lending products, notably commercial and industrial (C&I), as well as its various specialty business lines, including a nascent wealth management platform.
PCSB is expected to add approximately $2 billion in assets to BRKL's balance sheet, with pro forma total assets of approximately $10.5 billion, $8.5 billion in loans, and $8.7 billion in deposits, based on financial data as of March 31, 2022. While pro forma loan and deposit compositions are not materially different from Brookline's current profile, the company will be subject to the Durbin amendment with an estimated $1.5 million (pre-tax) negative impact from lost interchange fee income and increased regulatory requirements, beginning in 3Q23. We consider the impact manageable, specifically considering potential revenue synergies and the estimated 30% cost savings stemming from the merger, primarily driven by back-office consolidation. We consider Brookline's infrastructure adequately positioned to support the projected balance sheet growth.
Regarding financial metrics, PCSB's standalone earnings have historically been below peers, partly due to a comparatively lower loan mix and limited fee income. That said, management estimates the pro forma return on assets (ROA) of the combined entity to be near 1.2%, with fully phased-in cost savings. Given the meaningful cash component of the transaction, we anticipate an approximate 100-basis point (bp) impact on capital ratios, including pro forma tangible common equity (TCE) and Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratios, which are projected to edge down to 8.6% and 10.8%, respectively, at the transaction's close. With BRKL's projected 12.5% earnings per share (EPS) accretion (including interest rate marks) in 2023, we foresee a potential for capital rebuild to pre-merger levels in a reasonable time.
With respect to asset quality, PCSB displayed relatively manageable measures in recent years, with a nominal net charge-off (NCO) ratio that has tracked below 9 bps since 2017. Nonetheless, as part of the due diligence process, BRKL reviewed 100% of PCSB's C&I and commercial real estate (CRE) loans with total relationship commitments greater than $4 million and $8 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2022. Additionally, BRKL reviewed 102 individual loans ranging in size from $2 million to $38 million and all classified loans with a balance above $1 million. Brookline's built-in reserves include an $8.5 million credit mark and CECL Day 1 assumptions of $14.1 million on PCSB's loan portfolio. Additionally, given the current volatility in the interest rate environment, BRKL modeled a $66 million fair value adjustment reflecting a mark down of the loan and investment securities portfolios and a mark-up on deposits.
KBRA views the overall transaction as in line with prior acquisitions, and therefore neutral to BRKL's credit ratings in the intermediate term. Given the size of the transaction (about 19% of projected consolidated assets) and considering Brookline's demonstrated success in prior acquisitions, coupled with the due diligence and portfolio reviews, we expect integration to progress without any major challenges.

Is Spindletop Health Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:SHCA) Popular Amongst Insiders?
The big shareholder groups in Spindletop Health Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:SHCA) have power over the company. Institutions will often hold stock in bigger companies, and we expect to see insiders owning a noticeable percentage of the smaller ones. Warren Buffett said that he likes "a business with enduring competitive advantages that is run by able and owner-oriented people." So it's nice to see some insider ownership, because it may suggest that management is owner-oriented.
Spindletop Health Acquisition is a smaller company with a market capitalization of US$289m, so it may still be flying under the radar of many institutional investors. In the chart below, we can see that institutions own shares in the company. Let's take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholders can tell us about Spindletop Health Acquisition.
What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Spindletop Health Acquisition?
Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index.
Spindletop Health Acquisition already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Spindletop Health Acquisition's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.
Institutional investors own over 50% of the company, so together than can probably strongly influence board decisions. Our data indicates that hedge funds own 13% of Spindletop Health Acquisition. That's interesting, because hedge funds can be quite active and activist. Many look for medium term catalysts that will drive the share price higher. Looking at our data, we can see that the largest shareholder is the CEO Evan Melrose with 17% of shares outstanding. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 7.7% and 5.2% of the stock.
We did some more digging and found that 10 of the top shareholders account for roughly 51% of the register, implying that along with larger shareholders, there are a few smaller shareholders, thereby balancing out each others interests somewhat.
Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. We're not picking up on any analyst coverage of the stock at the moment, so the company is unlikely to be widely held.
Insider Ownership Of Spindletop Health Acquisition
While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO.
Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.
It seems insiders own a significant proportion of Spindletop Health Acquisition Corp.. Insiders have a US$50m stake in this US$289m business. We would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business. You can click here to see if those insiders have been buying or selling.
General Public Ownership
The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 12% stake in Spindletop Health Acquisition. While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies.
Next Steps:
I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. To that end, you should learn about the 3 warning signs we've spotted with Spindletop Health Acquisition (including 2 which don't sit too well with us) .

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Trustees of Barings Corporate Investors (NYSE: MCI) (the "Trust") met on August 18, 2022 and would like to report its preliminary financial results for the second quarter of 2022.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A Russian spacewalker had to rush back inside the International Space Station on Wednesday when the battery voltage in his spacesuit suddenly dropped.
Russian Mission Control ordered Oleg Artemyev, the station commander, to quickly return to the airlock so he could hook his suit to station power. The hatch remained open as his spacewalking partner, Denis Matveev, tidied up outside.
NASA said neither man was ever in any danger. Matveev, in fact, remained outside for another hour or so, before he, too, was ordered to wrap it up. Matveev’s suit was fine, but Russian Mission Control cut the spacewalk short since flight rules insist on the buddy system.
The cosmonauts managed to install cameras on the European Space Agency’s new robot arm before the trouble cropped up, barely two hours into a planned 6 1/2-hour spacewalk.
“You know, the start was so excellent,” Matveev said as he made his way back inside, with some of the robot arm installation work left undone.
The 36-foot (11-meter) robot arm arrived at the space station last summer aboard a Russian lab.
NASA spacewalks, meanwhile, have been on hold for months.
In March, water seeped into a German spacewalker’s helmet. It was not nearly as much leakage as occurred in 2013 when an Italian astronaut almost drowned, but still posed a safety concern. In the earlier case, the water originated from the cooling system in the suit’s undergarments.
The spacesuit that malfunctioned in March will be returned to Earth as early as this week in a SpaceX capsule, for further investigation.

Blizzard’s latest Diablo IV dev blog has arrived this afternoon as the studio promises “ambitious” plans for the post-launch live-service game – and that includes a season structure with “up to four Seasons a year, each with major new features, questlines, enemies, legendary items, and more.”
“Diablo IV’s Seasons are modeled after those of Diablo III. When a new season begins, all the characters from the prior season are moved to the Eternal Realm, where you can keep playing, leveling up, and collecting loot. To play in the new season, you’ll create a fresh character and experience the new seasonal features and content while leveling up alongside other players. This, along with capping paragon points in Diablo IV, ensures that your effort and skill—measured by both dexterity and theorycrafting —determine how powerful your character becomes. It also allows players who missed the last season to participate.”
Blizzard is also adamant that players “will not be able to pay for power in Diablo IV.” The game is still on track to be a “full-price game with a Cosmetics Shop and Season Pass” with seasons that will “be enjoyed by everyone.” That’s because the pass will have both free and paid tiers, with the premium version focused on “seasonally themed Cosmetics and Premium Currency.” Moreover, the free pass will include free season boosts: “There is no way to unlock more boosts, or boosts at a faster pace, by spending money.” It also sounds as if Blizzard is avoiding lockboxes.
“We want buying things to feel good–before, during, and after purchase,” the studio writes. “So, if players choose to buy something, it should be because they want to, not because they feel like they have to. It should also be clear to players exactly what they are getting before they choose to buy, with no unpleasant surprises.” | https://massivelyop.com/2022/08/18/diablo-iv-talks-live-service-content-seasonal-structure-and-monetization-strategy/ | 2022-08-18T18:37:20Z | https://massivelyop.com/2022/08/18/diablo-iv-talks-live-service-content-seasonal-structure-and-monetization-strategy/ | false | 1 |

Taiwan and the United States have agreed to start trade talks and to discuss China’s economic coercion.
This comes after Chinese forces have been carrying out air and sea military drills in the Taiwan Strait following Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s visit earlier this month and a U.S. Congressional delegation’s arrival in Taipei this week.
Here & Now‘s Scott Tong talks to Shelley Rigger, professor of political science at Davidson College and the author of a number of books, including “Why Taiwan Matters.”

A pint of beer in London could cost £13.98 in just two and a half years if current trends are to continue. New research suggests that other expenses could also see an eyewatering jump in price if inflation doesn't slow down. Come 2025, it is expected by this new research that a cup of coffee would be averaging at £4.44 and Uber journeys averaging at £26.
The current cost of living crisis is to blame for the recent price surges, coupled with rising inflation, consumers might need to prepare for their money to not stretch as far as it has done in the last couple of years. In the last five years, prices have climbed at their fastest rate since 1980, according to research from Penfold.
The top three things that have increased in price the most since 2017 are music concert tickets, meals at restaurants and Uber journeys. Most depressingly, beer prices are expected to rise again. This increase is expected to be larger than the 16pc it has already risen since 2017. It’s expected that by 2025, the average price of beer, for Londoners, will reach £13.98.

It's not just beer prices that are expected to rise. Coffee is another thing that is being blasted by price increases with the average cost of coffee soaring by 50pc in the last 5 years. To put this in perspective, a daily cup of coffee would cost brits £225 in 2017 (if they chose to buy one cup of coffee each working day).
In 2022, the exact same purchase would result in an annual spend of £840, hitting £1154.4 in 2025, one-tenth of the current minimum wage! Daily essentials are also on the up. Rising by 28pc, since 2017, the price of milk has risen from 43p to 55p per pint.
Buying necessities suddenly feels like extravagant spending, with prices expected to continue growing yearly. By 2025, a 64p pint of milk is expected to be the norm.
Chris Eastwood, co-founder at Penfold, a digital pensions provider, said: “Rising prices are impacting people across the UK, with almost every activity, commodity, and service observing increased costs as shown from our research.
"The reality is the heightened levels of inflation we are experiencing do not align with how quickly wages have risen. An increase of 15.35% has occurred in the last five years, yet overall costs of living have nearly tripled by 41.27%.
"With the cost of living expected to continue increasing it has become more important to budget for the future and set achievable pension goals. Thankfully, there are plenty of resources to kickstart saving for your future such as using a Pension Calculator, which allows you to plan ahead, secure future financial stability, and find comfort in retirement.”

PARIS (AP) — Violent thunderstorms and hurricane-force winds left at least eight people dead in France and Italy on Thursday, uprooting trees in Tuscany and on the French island of Corsica and ripping away brick shards from St. Mark's famed bell tower in Venice. Over 100 boats in the Mediterranean Sea called for emergency help, authorities said.
The storm produced gusts of more than 220 kph (136 mph) in some areas, the national weather agency Meteo France said. About 45,000 households were without power on Corsica. Dozens of people were injured and 12 were hospitalized in Corsica, one in critical condition, authorities said.
The Italian regions of Tuscany and Veneto both declared a state of emergency, as the violent storms in the north contrasted with temperatures up to 43 degrees Celsius (109 degrees Fahrenheit) in southern Italy.
Storms in recent days have slammed Western European countries after a summer of extreme weather, while neighboring countries in Central and Eastern Europe are still suffering exceptional heat waves and drought.
Two people were killed Thursday in separate incidents in Tuscany when trees were ripped up by storms, one near the city of Lucca and another near Carrara. Dozens were reported injured, including four people hurt by falling trees at a campground near Carrara.
In Corsica, a 13-year-old girl died after a tree fell in a campsite in the coastal town of Sagone. A 72-year-old woman was killed when a beach restaurant roof fell on her vehicle in Coggia, and a 46-year-old man died at a campsite in Calvi.
Rescue crews found the bodies of a 62-year-old fisherman and an unidentified kayaker off Corsica's coasts, according to the French maritime authority for the Mediterranean. It said both died as a result of the sudden storm and that more than 100 grounded, wrecked or stranded ships in the area have called for emergency help.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin traveled to the island Thursday to inspect the damage.
In Venice, high winds detached pieces of brick from St. Mark’s bell tower, which stands in front of the famed cathedral. Tourists were evacuated from the structure, which was cordoned off. The storm upended chairs and tables in St. Mark’s Square and elsewhere, and swept away beach chairs on the nearby Lido.
The winds rose suddenly yet were calm within about five minutes, Carlo Alberto Tesserin, the caretaker of the Basilica and bell tower, told The Associated Press.
"These were not usual winds for us,'' Tesserin said.
In northern Italy, an overnight storm forced a train line southeast of Genoa to shut down after high winds carried beach structures onto the tracks, damaging the electrical circuitry.
The storm struck during Italy’s busiest beach vacation week. The mayor of Sestri Levante, Valentina Ghio, appealed to visitors to stay away from beaches until the severe weather had passed.
Hail the size of walnuts pummeled Italy's Liguria region with enough force to break the windows of homes and damage orchards and gardens.
While northern Italy has suffered its worst drought in decades this year, heavy rains in recent days brought scattered hailstorms, whirlwinds and flooding that have damaged or destroyed entire crops of fruits and vegetables along with vineyards and olive orchards, according to the Italian agricultural lobby Coldiretti.
Thunderstorms on Wednesday flooded Paris subway stations and the Old Port of Marseille, and winds over 100 kph (60 mph) were recorded at the top of the Eiffel Tower during a flash flood on Tuesday.
The fierce rains come amid a summer of of drought, heat waves and forest fires across Europe that scientists link to human-caused climate change.
Yet to the east, on Hungary’s Southern Great Plain, shepherd Sandor Kalman can only dream of rainfall. He grazes sheep on lands desiccated by intense heat and low rainfall. As he walks on his pastures, what grass there still is crunches beneath his boots.
“In this heat wave, this clay soil actually burns the sheep’s feet, it’s so hot,” he said, adding that his herding dogs also find it difficult to walk on the parched earth. “I’m 57 years old, but I’ve never seen a drought this big.”
Hungarian meteorological data this year shows the most severe lack of rainfall since 1901.
Water levels on the Danube River, one of Europe’s largest waterways, have dropped 5 feet (1.5 meters) in three weeks near Budapest, leading the regional water company to warn that the supply of drinking water could be threatened.
“The future is hard to predict, but forecasts and climate models suggest that further severe droughts are likely,” said Klara Kerpely of environmental group WWF Hungary, warning that officials will need to prepare for more frequent extreme weather and rework Hungary’s water retention system.

Among the first in the nation, Phillips Lytle's Psychedelics Practice Team combines expertise in pharmaceutical science, FDA regulations and risk management to serve the legal needs of emerging bio-tech sectors
BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Phillips Lytle LLP announced the launch of its Psychedelics & Mental Health Therapies Practice Team, which is uniquely equipped to help pharmaceutical companies, research organizations and other stakeholders navigate the evolving legal and regulatory landscape related to the development, approval and use of psychedelic medications. Phillips Lytle Special Counsel Kyle W. Mack, who holds a doctorate in pharmacy, and Lisa L. Smith, a partner with the firm and co-leader of the firm's Life Sciences & Health Effects Team, will lead the practice, bringing together scientist-attorneys and experienced litigators to support clients that are driving innovation in mental health treatments.
Phillips Lytle is a leader nationally and in New York State in forming a multidisciplinary practice to serve the psychedelics industry. The firm's deep expertise in pharmaceutical sciences, FDA regulatory compliance and pharmaceutical product liability litigation and risk management enables it to address complex legal hurdles faced by stakeholders seeking to research, develop, invest in and bring-to-market psychedelic therapies.
"We are at the beginning of a revolution in how mental health conditions are medically treated. As research into the use of psychedelic therapies continues to expand and additional data demonstrate significant positive outcomes in the treatment of mental health conditions, the benefits that psychedelics offer will continue to gain acceptance and understanding across the medical community. Our multidisciplinary team is well prepared to serve clients in this evolving and exciting space," Dr. Mack said.
"The number of companies seeking to bring FDA-approved psychedelic medications to the market has exploded in the last few years. Psychedelics present a new potential path to relief for patients who continue to struggle with mental health conditions despite conventional therapies," he added. "It also creates new opportunities for researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and pharmaceutical companies. With rapid change expected in state and federal laws and regulations governing the industry, we understood the urgency of launching a practice team that provides sophisticated legal counsel bolstered by deep knowledge of science and the pace of innovation."
Preliminary research shows that treatment with classical psychedelic compounds, such as psilocybin, LSD and DMT, the entactogen MDMA, and the dissociative ketamine, can be effective in treating certain mental health disorders including Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD), when used in controlled clinical settings under the supervision of trained professionals. Study and development of these treatments remain challenging as psilocybin, MDMA, DMT and LSD are all listed as DEA Schedule I drugs. However, change appears imminent. In 2022, Oregon became the first state to legalize psilocybin-containing mushrooms for supervised adult administration, and state legislatures across the country, including New York State, are now considering bills related to regulated psychedelic treatments. Federally, the FDA also has granted "breakthrough therapy designation" for MDMA and psilocybin to expedite development and agency review. It is anticipated that MDMA will receive FDA approval for PTSD by the end of 2023, and that psilocybin approval will follow.
"Operating at the intersection of science, technology and the law, this new practice team has the skills necessary to guide the growth of this emerging industry," said Ms. Smith. "Having served as national science counsel for a global pharmaceutical company for over 20 years, with a significant focus on medications for mental health conditions, we understand the challenges of navigating a constantly evolving regulatory environment while working to innovate and improve the treatments available to patients. In addition to global companies, our team of attorneys, who have doctorate degrees in pharmacy, chemistry and physiology, along with our in-house health care professionals and pharmaceutical scientists, will counsel drug developers, investors, entrepreneurs, hospitals, universities and research institutions."
Joining Ms. Smith and Dr. Mack, the practice team will include Special Counsel George Hajduczok, Ph.D., Partner William P. Keefer, Partner Eric M. Kraus, Associate Joshua S. Wallace, Ph.D., Science Specialist Julia M. Markov, Pharm.D., as well as Partner Richard E. Honen (venture capital), Partner Amanda L. Lowe (health care/higher education) and Associate Mary-Jane R. Morley (emerging industries).
The firm's Psychedelics & Mental Health Therapies Practice Team has an established track record in counseling companies, from startups to multinational corporations, in entity and venture formation, financing, commercialization, pre- and post-marketing strategies, regulatory approvals, compliance and enforcement, IRB protocols, clinical trial and informed consent matters, pharmacovigilance, licensing and product litigation.
Building on its work in the life sciences, cannabis and other innovative technologies, this latest entry into an emerging legal field marks another milestone for Phillips Lytle.
Phillips Lytle LLP is a premier regional law firm that is recognized nationally for its legal excellence. With offices across New York State and in Washington, D.C. and Canada, our attorneys serve a multinational client base, including FORTUNE 1000 companies, global and regional financial institutions, not-for-profit organizations, middle-market companies, startups, entrepreneurs, and individuals on important matters affecting their businesses and personal wealth.

LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – A local Republican Party in Alabama is being scrutinized after a photo that appeared to contain Ku Klux Klan imagery was shared on its Facebook page.
Sunday night, a post was made on the Lawrence County Republican Party’s page, thanking the group’s former chairman and welcoming the new chairman, Shanon Terry. The post, shared on Twitter by Alabama House minority leader Anthony Daniels, initially included a photo of a “GOP elephant” that used the white space between the elephant’s legs to create what appears to be hooded figures.
The post was taken down later that night and then reposted with a different GOP elephant image, but not before Facebook users noted the Ku Klux Klan imagery.
Some have even called on the new chairman to resign from the county’s school board.
Terry apologized Monday, saying, “I would like to offer a deep and sincere apology for a picture that temporarily appeared on this page last night. A Google search picture of a GOP elephant was used and later found to have hidden images that do not represent the views or beliefs of the Lawrence County Republican Party. The picture was then immediately replaced. As chairman I take full responsibility for the error.”
In a statement to Nexstar’s WHNT, Terry said he will not resign from his elected seat.
“The voters of District Four elected me to represent them and I am proud of the accomplishments of this administration over the past six years. I look forward to continuing to strive to give every student in Lawrence County the best opportunity to be successful.”
Terry went on to say that he regrets the mistake, calling it “unintended.”
“The image posted by me on a political Facebook page was not done with any malicious or harmful intent,” he explained. “Once made aware of the negative portion of the picture I immediately replaced it and followed up with an apology/explanation the next day. My error was rushing to post a thank you note to the outgoing chairperson, in doing so I did not properly review a cut and paste image used in that post from an internet search for a ‘GOP elephant’. I do not support or agree with any hate group agenda and certainly would not try to further their cause.
The image, created by Woody Harrington, initially appeared in a 2020 Mother Jones article “about the hate, bigotry and racism hidden within Trump’s GOP.” The freelance illustrator addressed Terry’s use of the image on Instagram Wednesday, saying, “[It has] come to my attention that the Hate Elephant has been given new life (without permission or credit of course) in not one, but two republican campaigns.”
Alabama House minority leader Anthony Daniels was also critical of the post, saying on Twitter that the use of the image was “disgusting.”
The Lawrence County NAACP is scheduled to host a press conference about the incident and to call for Terry’s resignation on Friday. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/alabama-gop-shared-kkk-imagery-by-mistake-chairman-says/ | 2022-08-18T18:50:27Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/alabama-gop-shared-kkk-imagery-by-mistake-chairman-says/ | false | 13 |
Kylie Jenner almost wasn’t Kylie Jenner!
The Kylie Cosmetics founder took to TikTok on Wednesday with a new eye-popping video as her 4-year-old daughter Stormi Webster hung out by her side.
In the clip, the mom of two revealed that her parents, Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner, nearly had a different name picked out for their youngest daughter when she was born in August 1997!! But don’t worry, y’all — it was still a “K” name! Duh!

In the adorable clip of her and Stormi, Kylie wrote:
“My name is Kylie, but it was almost…”
Along with teasing a series of pics in the post, Kylie blasted the would-be name in ALL CAPS, writing:
“KENNEDY”
OMG!
Kennedy Jenner! Could you even imagine?! Heck, we routinely reference her older sis Kendall Jenner as “Kenny,” so the vibe is already definitely there! “Kennedy” also has kind of a political feel to it, NGL. But we honestly don’t hate it!
Kylie wasn’t feeling it, tho, saying in the caption that the name “doesn’t hit the same” for her. As you can see in Kennedy’s Kylie’s TikTok vid (below), she even spoofs a Kennedy Lip Kit image to top it off:
@kyliejenner doesn’t hit the same
LOLz!
BTW, Kylie played former brother-in-law Kanye West‘s I Love Kanye track in the background of the clip. So that’s an interesting meta-reference!!
Still, we’re thrown by this new name option.
What do y’all think, Perezcious readers?? Sound OFF with your take on Kylie’s almost-identity in the comments (below)! | https://perezhilton.com/kylie-jenner-name-almost-what-kris-jenner/ | 2022-08-18T18:52:39Z | https://perezhilton.com/kylie-jenner-name-almost-what-kris-jenner/ | true | 1 |

Michelle Singletary of The Washington Post to receive Lifetime Achievement Award;
#LoebAwards will return to New York City for an in-person banquet and celebration on September 29;
List of the journalists and outlets selected as finalists for all competition categories
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The G. and R. Loeb Foundation Inc. and UCLA Anderson School of Management today announced the career honoree and competition finalists of the 2022 Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism. The winners will be announced during the first in-person #LoebAwards event in three years on Thursday, September 29, 2022, at Capitale in New York City.
The Gerald Loeb Awards were established in 1957 by the late Gerald Loeb, a founding partner of E.F. Hutton. In 1973, Loeb appointed UCLA Anderson the steward of the G. and R. Loeb Foundation. The Gerald Loeb Awards were created to encourage and support reporting on business and finance that inform and protect the private investor and the general public. The awards are considered the highest honor in business journalism in the United States.
The 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient is Michelle Singletary, personal finance columnist for The Washington Post. The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes a journalist whose career exemplifies the consistent superior insight and professional skills necessary to further the understanding of business, financial and economic issues.
In 1992, Singletary began writing about bankruptcy and banking for The Washington Post. Her nationally syndicated twice-weekly column, The Color of Money, was launched in 1997 to speak directly and authentically to Americans whose economic struggles are often overlooked. Over the past 25 years, her columns have guided readers to build up their savings, stay out of debt, steel themselves against stock market volatility, and be wary of cryptocurrency and get-rich-quick stock schemes. Singletary infuses her columns with her experiences as a Black woman to give readers relatable information that empowers their financial confidence and opens their eyes to the pernicious myths about the causes of America's racial wealth gap. In 2020, The Washington Post celebrated her long and distinguished career at the paper with the Eugene Meyer Award, its highest journalistic honor. In 2021, she won a Loeb Award for commentary for "Sincerely, Michelle," a series on race and money. The series also landed her the 2021 National Association of Black Journalists award for commentary. She was the first-place winner in the general commentary portfolio of the 2022 Society for Features Journalism Excellence-in-Features awards.
Singletary has taken her financial advocacy beyond newsprint by founding Prosperity Partners Ministry, a monthly personal finance program at her church. She also teaches financial literacy to incarcerated individuals throughout the Maryland Correctional Enterprises system. She is the author of four books on personal finance, and throughout her career, she has been a frequent contributor to CNN, NBC, NPR and PBS. Singletary graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, and earned a master's degree in business and management at Johns Hopkins University.
The 2022 Gerald Loeb Awards return to New York City for an in-person banquet and celebration at Capitale on Thursday, September 29, 2022, to announce the winning journalists and outlets for each competition category and celebrate Singletary's career achievements. Tyler Mathisen, co-anchor of CNBC's Power Lunch, takes the stage as the host for this year's show, and additional presenters from television news will be announced in the coming weeks via @LoebAwards on Twitter. Winners are not announced in advance.
Visit theloebawards.com for the official invitation to the 2022 Gerald Loeb Awards and complete information about tickets, tables, sponsorship and tribute journal advertising. The G. and R. Loeb Foundation Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates primarily on competition entry fees, banquet ticket sales, sponsorships and private support.

Northern Lights visible in Michigan Thursday
(FOX 2) - Northern Lights fans get ready, because Thursday is the best day to see the incredible display of greens and purples dance overhead in Michigan.
While a mass ejection exploded from the sun's surface Tuesday, the energy it emitted won't show its true colors until Thursday night, when a strong geomagnetic storm is predicted to collide over the state's atmosphere.
The National Weather Service says there are strong storm conditions predicted for the second-half of the week, but Aug. 18 will have the best display of the Aurora Borealis.
The iconic green hue that dances overhead could be seen as far south as Southeast Michigan Wednesday night. It won't extend as far Thursday night, but should be at its brightest then.
The northern lights reveal themselves when geomagnetic activity is disturbed in the atmosphere. When a coronal mass ejection forms out of the sun, it sends magnetized plasma toward into space. Some of those charged particles collide with the Earth, causing some gases in the sky to glow.
Astronomers call this Space Weather.
Typically harmless to Earthlings, these storms can become a problem for power systems and GPS navigation as it can disrupt manmade instruments.
Thursday's magnetic storm could be particularly pretty as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has scored the ejection a G3 - or Strong. | https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/northern-lights-visible-in-michigan-thursday | 2022-08-18T19:16:22Z | https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/northern-lights-visible-in-michigan-thursday | false | 1 |
Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday asked telecom service providers to gear up for the 5G launch post the issuance of spectrum allocation letters. In a first, the Department of Telecom (DoT) issued spectrum assignment letters on the same day the successful bidders of radio waves made upfront payments.
"5G Update: Spectrum assignment letter issued. Requesting TSPs to prepare for 5G launch," Vaishnaw wrote on Twitter. The DoT has received payment of around Rs 17,876 crore from service providers — Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, Adani Data Networks and Vodafone Idea for the spectrum they won in a recent auction.
The country's biggest ever auction of telecom spectrum received a record Rs 1.5 lakh crore worth of bids, with Mukesh Ambani's Jio cornering nearly half of all the airwaves sold with an Rs 87,946.93 crore bid.
Bharti Enterprises founder and chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal said that his company Bharti Airtel received a spectrum allocation letter within a few hours of making an upfront payment to the DoT.
"In my over 30 years of first-hand experience with DoT, this is a first! Business as it should be. Leadership at work-Right at the top and at the helm of telecom. What a Change! Change that can transform this nation – power its dreams to be a developed nation," Mittal said.
Airtel acquired 19,867.8 MHz spectrum by securing a pan-India footprint of 3.5 GHz and 26 GHz bands and selected purchase of radio waves in the low and mid-band spectrum for Rs 43,039.63 crore.
"Airtel paid Rs 8,312.4 crore towards spectrum dues and was provided the allocation letter for the designated frequency bands within hours.
"E band allocation was given along with spectrum as promised. No Fuss, No Follow Up, No running around the corridors and No tall claims. This is ease of doing business at work in its full glory," Mittal said.
Airtel has said that it will launch the 5G service this month.
While all telecom operators have opted to make payments in 20 annual instalments, Bharti Airtel paid Rs 8,312.4 crore equivalent to four annual instalments.
Reliance Jio has made payments of Rs 7,864.78 crore, Vodafone Idea Rs 1,679.98 crore and Adani Data Networks Rs 18.94 crore.
Gautam Adani's group has placed bids worth Rs 211.86 crore for 400 MHz in a band that is not used for offering public telephony services.
"On August 8, 2022, Adani Data Networks Ltd made a payment of Rs 18.9 crore to the Department of Telecommunications (Wireless Planning & Coordination Wing). This is the first of 20 equal annual instalments," Adani Group spokesperson said.
Ficci Senior Vice President Subhrakant Panda said the ease, speed and transparency of the 5G spectrum auction process is a live example of much-improved 'Ease of Doing Business'.
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) said that approval processes across central ministries are getting speedier and more seamless.
"A series of facilitative reforms, aimed at rationalisation and digitisation of regulatory processes and procedures, have started yielding results at the ground level. The reform measures encompass the entire life cycle of a business, from start to exit, dealing with all crucial components of ease of doing business," CII Director General Chandrajit Banerjee said.
Assocham Secretary General Deepak Sood said that India's ease of doing business, as explicitly evident in the seamless and expeditious auction and allocation of the 5G spectrum, has improved significantly in the last few years.
"A series of reforms, coupled with a transparent regulatory environment under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has resulted in an EODB, which is being noted by global and domestic investors," Sood said. | https://gadgets360.com/telecom/news/5g-india-launch-telecom-minister-service-providers-prepare-rollout-3267099 | 2022-08-18T19:17:03Z | https://gadgets360.com/telecom/news/5g-india-launch-telecom-minister-service-providers-prepare-rollout-3267099 | true | 4 |
Edinburgh Athletic Club runners enjoy QA5K race
No fewer than 16 Edinburgh Athletic Club runners made the journey over the Queensferry Crossing to compete in the QA 5K road race, held recently at the Queen Anne school in Dunfermline.
This popular event is fast establishing itself as one of the quickest 5K races on the athletics calendar. It features five separate races seeded by predicted finish time, resulting in highly competitive racing.
The flat and fast seven-lap course, good weather on the night, and excellent support on the race route led to some excellent results from Edinburgh Athletic Club members. Race 1 saw two of Edinburgh Athletic Club’s ladies, Leanne Calder and Sinéad Gallagher, compete well and finish in 20:43 and 23:30 respectively.
Gavin Phillip was well under the 20-minute barrier in Race 2, while in Race 3 Neil Jack impressed with a 16:39 clocking as he continues his return from long-term injury. Kevin Hamilton, Michael Fullerton, Mark Thornton-Smith, Matthew Davies, Sean Eng and Iain Craven all finished in close proximity in Race 3, in low-to-mid-17-minute times, with less than 30 seconds between the six of them. In Race 4, Max Meres got close to a sub-16 time, with the ever-consistent Iain Macdonald finishing in 16:47. Race 5 saw Stuart Johnston clock 15:46, just pipping clubmate Leon Johnson by five seconds. Iain Whitaker recorded 15:07 for 8th overall, and John Lenehan dipped under the 15-minute barrier with a 14:57 clocking for 5th overall.

The fastest male finisher was Paralympic champion Owen Millar MBE of Fife Athletic Club, who scorched to a 14:38 time. Fastest female was Annabel Simpson, also of Fife Athletic Club, who blitzed to a 15:54 time. Both Fife athletes clinched new course records.
The format of the event meant that prior to and after each individual race, runners were able to line the course and support their friends and clubmates in other races, which led to an incredible atmosphere on the night.
Edinburgh Athletic Club’s Sinéad Gallagher commented: “It was a really fun event. I was pleased with my time, even though now my legs are knackered. We don’t often get the chance to do a race and then watch four other races, so I really enjoyed being able to cheer on my clubmates.”
Race organiser Dan Monaghan of PH Racing Club was delighted with how the event went, saying: “There really was some top-class running across all five races. It’s simple, no-frills racing, but the flat lapped course seems to work well and the feedback has been really good. We had so many new personal best times, and that’s what we all want to see. A massive well done to all the runners and we will see everyone again next year.” | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/other-sport/edinburgh-athletic-club-runners-enjoy-qa5k-race-3810834 | 2022-08-18T19:18:03Z | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/other-sport/edinburgh-athletic-club-runners-enjoy-qa5k-race-3810834 | true | 1 |
NEW DELHI (AP) — A Muslim woman who was gang raped while pregnant during India’s devastating 2002 religious riots has appealed to the government to rescind its decision to free the 11 men who had been jailed for life for committing the crime, after they were released on suspended sentences.
The victim, who is now in her 40s, was pregnant when she was brutally gang raped in communal violence in 2002 in the western state of Gujarat, which saw over 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, killed in some of the worst religious riots India has experienced since its independence from Britain in 1947. Seven members of the woman’s family, including her three-year-old daughter, were also killed in the violence.
The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify victims of sexual assault.
The 11 men, released on Monday when India celebrated 75 years of independence, were convicted in 2008 of rape, murder and unlawful assembly.
The victim said the decision by the Gujarat state government has left her numb and shaken her faith in justice.
“How can justice for a woman end like this? I trusted the highest courts in our land,” she said in a statement late Wednesday, adding that no authorities reached out to her before making the decision. “Please undo this harm. Give me back my right to live without fear and in peace.”
On Thursday, dozens of women protested against the release of the men in the capital, New Delhi. Maimoona Mollah of the All India Democratic Women’s Association said they are demanding the state to roll back its decision.
“(The victim) and other survivors should be allowed to live in peace and dignity,” Mollah said.
Raj Kumar, additional chief secretary in Gujarat, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party holds power, told the Indian Express newspaper that the convicts’ application for remission was granted because they had completed over 14 years in jail. A state government panel made the decision after considering other factors like their age and behavior in prison.
Kumar said the men were eligible under a 1992 remission policy that was in effect at the time of their conviction. A newer version adopted in 2014 by the federal government prohibits remission release for those convicted of certain crimes, including rape and murder.
The riots have long hounded Modi, who was Gujarat’s top elected official at the time, amid allegations that authorities allowed and even encouraged the bloodshed. Modi has repeatedly denied having any role and the Supreme Court has said it found no evidence to prosecute him.
Videos on social media showing the men being welcomed with sweets and garlands after their release from prison went viral, triggering outrage and anger from women, rights activists and opposition politicians.
Vrinda Grover, a lawyer, called the decision a “travesty and grave miscarriage of justice,” while speaking to India Today TV.
Opposition lawmaker Rahul Gandhi took aim at Modi on Twitter, questioning what kind of message it sent to women in India from a government that says it wants to empower women.
“The entire country is seeing the difference between your words and deeds,” he wrote in Hindi. | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/international-news/indian-woman-condemns-release-of-her-convicted-rapists/ | 2022-08-18T19:18:31Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/international-news/indian-woman-condemns-release-of-her-convicted-rapists/ | false | 36 |
In the past, if Sara Solovitch tripped up while playing the piano she would get flustered and stop. Especially in front of an audience.
"I felt like I had to correct everything and each note had to be perfect," the Santa Cruz, Calif.-based author and pianist. But now, she can breeze through a few bum notes while playing Claude Debussy's lyrical piano piece Reflections on the Water as if no one were listening.
"One of the things I've really worked on has been continuing to play," Solovitch says.
For the past three years, Solovitch has been coming regularly to San Jose International airport to play the beat-up Hamilton baby grand located in the Terminal B baggage claim area.
"Here, I'm not worried about people's judgment and evaluation," Solovitch said. "People aren't listening and that's kind of a godsend to me."
Solovitch's impromptu airport recitals are part of her push to overcome stage fright — a phobia that has plagued the musician since she was a little girl.
And now she's written a book on the subject — Playing Scared: A History and Memoir of Stage Fright.
Solovitch loves the piano. But she's so scared of playing the instrument in public that even practicing at home when her family is around regularly unsettles her.
"My hands turn wet with sweat and they'll slip and slide," Solovitch said. "My feet tremble so that I have a hard time controlling the pedal. I feel my heart beating really uncontrollably. And then there's just this kind of like pounding in my head."
As a teen, stage fright drove Solovitch to give up her dream of becoming a professional musician. But even the most seasoned performers struggle with the anxiety.
Berkeley standup comedian W. Kamau Bell has hosted his own cable TV series and has appeared on popular podcasts like WTF with Marc Maron.
Yet despite Bell's impressive chops, the comic still suffers from performance anxiety on a regular basis. And it makes no difference if he's in front of a national television audience or a small crowd at a bar; he says his mind scrambles and his mouth goes dry.
"I've often said that if there's a way to email the crowd the jokes and still get the same feeling from performing live I would just as soon do that," Bell said.
It's not just performers who deal with this issue. John Beebe, a Jungian psychiatrist in San Francisco, has dealt with performance anxiety in his own career and treats people who suffer from it. He thinks stage fright is universal.
"When we can't live up to the image we'd like to project we just feel within ourselves that we fail terribly," Beebe said.
But Beebe believes people can overcome stage fright if they face it head on. Repetition is key.
"I think some of us have learned that the only way to master anything is to practice and do it," Beebe said.
A steady diet of playing to passersby at the airport has helped Sara Solovitch vanquish her stage fright. Yoga and anti-anxiety medication has helped, too.
"You have to practice performing as much as you practice practice," Solovitch said.
Practice seems to have paid off: Solovitch is actually looking forward to her next gig. She'll be performing at the public library in Santa Cruz in August.
"I used to talk to myself the way one doesn't talk to their dog: You know, 'You're stupid, you're an idiot, how could you make that mistake?' " Solovitch said. "And now as I approach a performance, instead of saying 'I'm nervous,' I say to myself 'I'm excited.' "

Abdulah slams scrap-iron ban: Economic crime against the people
MOVEMENT for Social Justice (MSJ) political leader David Abdulah described Government's decision to close the scrap iron industry for six months as an economic crime against the people who depend on it for their livelihood.
He demanded the immediate reopening of the industry.
Abdulah made these statements when he met with scrap-iron workers at Temple Street, Claxton Bay, on Thursday.
"This shutting down (of the scrap iron industry) has major implications for thousands and thousands of people in Trinidad and Tobago. It is an economic crime against the people of TT."
He said the MSJ was in solidarity with them because the Government has not done its work.
"What the Government has done is to put thousands of people on the breadline. That is wrong. That is unjust.
"We are saying to the Rowley Government: Restart the industry now."
Abdulah warned there could be serious consequences when people's backs are against the wall, bread has been taken from their mouths and governments fail to listen.
"What do you expect people to do, other than to take protest action in defence of their interests? People who are powerless can only demonstrate their power through mass, disciplined action which we insist should be peaceful."
Abdulah said the industry was vital. But he lamented that for the last 11 years, successive UNC and PNM government have done nothing to regulate and preserve it.
"This industry earns foreign exchange for this country because every month, 5,000 containers are exported from TT with scrap metal. That is foreign exchange for the country at a time when the country does not have foreign exchange."
Abdulah argued that if Government had done things such as stopping copper exports three months ago "then the rest of the industry could be running all now and mankind could be continuing to work to put food on the table for themselves and their families."
He accused Government of not implementing measures to properly regulate the industry "to make sure that the few people, just the handful of people who engage in illegal activity, could be dealt with."
He recalled the Scrap Iron Dealers Association had submitted regulatory recommendations to Government. These included special stickers to identify legitimate scrap-iron dealers and receipts to show scrap iron was legitimately purchased.
What is the MSJ prepared to do in support of scrap iron workers if Government did not lift the ban or extended it?
Abdulah said the association has announced it would stage a motorcade from the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba to Port of Spain on August 24.
"We are calling upon everybody to support that motorcade, because that kind of protest action might show the Government that they have made a fundamental error and they need to change their position."
While the MSJ cannot take legal action on the issue, Abdulah said he was aware that the association was considering its legal options. | https://newsday.co.tt/2022/08/18/abdulah-slams-scrap-iron-ban-economic-crime-against-the-people/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=abdulah-slams-scrap-iron-ban-economic-crime-against-the-people | 2022-08-18T19:20:03Z | https://newsday.co.tt/2022/08/18/abdulah-slams-scrap-iron-ban-economic-crime-against-the-people/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=abdulah-slams-scrap-iron-ban-economic-crime-against-the-people | false | 2 |

Alfa Romeo Tonale price and specifications confirmed ahead of September launch date
Full details of Italian hybrid rival to BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40 announced as order books open
Alfa Romeo has revealed pricing and specification details for its new premium compact SUV, the Tonale.
Going head-to-head with the likes of the BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40, Alfa’s first hybrid will start at just under £40,000. Order books are open now, with first deliveries due in UK showrooms next month.
Sitting beneath the Italian carmaker’s Stelvio SUV, the Tonale will be available in three specifications: Speciale, Ti and Veloce.
The Speciale, which will only be available at the Tonale’s launch, starts at £38,595 and includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with sat nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless smartphone charging. Additional standard kit includes automatic wipers, electric mirrors and dual-zone air conditioning.

Across the Tonale range, an electric tailgate, a reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry, automatic headlamps with dusk sensor and automatic high-beam, electric folding and heated exterior mirrors, a six-speaker sound system and wireless charging pad, plus safety tech including forward collision warning, traffic sign recognition and adaptive cruise control are all fitted as standard.
Priced from £39,995, the Ti adds a bespoke exterior design with a chrome front-grille bezel and gloss-black inserts, mirror caps and wheel caps. Eighteen-inch alloys are also standard. The cabin is fitted with black cloth upholstery, plus there’s a leather steering wheel.
The range-topping Veloce, which starts at £42,495, again has different styling altogether, with matt-black inserts, privacy glass, a darker front bezel and 1inch alloys. And while there are further improvements in the cabin, including black-and-red Alcantara upholstery, plus aluminium pedals and gearshift paddles, the most noticeable difference is an improved ride. The Veloce is fitted with dual-stage valve suspension as standard.
Power for all Tonale models comes from Alfa Romeo’s first hybrid powertrain, a 157bhp, four-cylinder turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine mated to a 48V electric motor and a small battery. Power is sent to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. | https://www.leightonbuzzardonline.co.uk/lifestyle/cars/alfa-romeo-tonale-price-and-specifications-confirmed-ahead-of-september-launch-date-3807584 | 2022-08-18T19:22:36Z | https://www.leightonbuzzardonline.co.uk/lifestyle/cars/alfa-romeo-tonale-price-and-specifications-confirmed-ahead-of-september-launch-date-3807584 | true | 8 |
Should you get an X Rocker gaming chair or a Razer gaming chair?
Any serious gamer knows they will only be comfortable in front of the TV or PC when sitting on a proper gaming chair. An office chair might be fine for short bursts, but it can’t compare to the technology in chairs dedicated to gaming.
The gaming chair is a relatively new invention, launching as a “world first” in 2006. Taking inspiration from racing car seats, several gaming accessory companies have put their own spin on the design. Razer has a vast selection of gaming peripherals, while X Rocker primarily focuses on gaming chairs. But how do the two brands stack up against each other?
X Rocker gaming chairs
X Rocker has a variety of gaming chairs, but the most popular are the floor rockers and the pedestal chairs. Its traditional gaming chairs are labeled as office chairs, so that could discourage players from taking a look. But there are three distinct styles.
X Rocker gaming chair pros
A wide selection offers you the choice of chair to suit your gaming style. The floor rockers and pedestal chairs are best for console gaming in front of a TV, while the traditional office chair model is perfect for computer players.
Even though there are only three gaming chair styles, the materials used are robust, and the padding is thick. The Agility model comes with an adjustable lumbar cushion, the Stinger is affordable, and the Echo XL is designed for heavy-duty use for long gaming marathons.
X Rocker gaming chair cons
The floor rockers and pedestal chairs, while useful for console gamers, are packed with gimmicky elements. For example, the Typhoon has Bluetooth connectivity to pair the seat with your console to use the four built-in speakers — but it needs to be close to a wall socket.
The office chairs lack padded armrests, and only one model comes with a lumbar cushion and head pillow.
Best X Rocker gaming chair
X Rocker CXR3 2.1 Dual Audio LED Gaming Chair
For an immersive experience, this gaming chair has two Bluetooth speakers built into the headrest, compatible with most gaming consoles and Bluetooth-enabled computers. It comes with a head pillow and an adjustable lumbar cushion. The armrests are adjustable in four directions, and the chair can recline to 150 degrees. The seating area and backrest are made from synthetic leather and double stitching.
Sold by Amazon
Worth considering for console players
X Rocker Gamma 2.1 Bluetooth Gaming Recliner Chair
This console gaming chair has sturdy upholstery on the seating area and backrest. The armrests are padded, and a cup holder is on one side. It comes with a lumbar cushion for added back support, and the headrest has some extra foam padding. On the side of the chair is a built-in control panel where you can adjust the volume, connect a wired headset and charge any USB devices.
Sold by Amazon
Razer gaming chair
Unlike X Rocker, which primarily focuses on chairs and gaming-related bedroom accessories, Razer makes a wide selection of gaming extras, such as headsets, keyboards and mice.
Razer gaming chair pros
Razer’s chairs generally have a striking design, and if you go for any of the black and green versions, Razer’s official color is used for the stitching, while in other versions, the stitching is black. Tapping into Razer’s affinity for predatory animals, the backrests have a textured feel, resembling a snake’s scales.
The padding is relatively thick, and the synthetic leather is durable and easy to clean. Depending on the model, Razer’s motto, “For gamers. By gamers.” is embroidered onto the front of the seat.
Razer gaming chair cons
A regular sponsor of international gaming events, Razer is well-known in the industry. The wide selection of durable products has won several awards, but it comes at a price. Diversifying inventory is great for the bottom line, but that doesn’t leave much room for innovation. For example, Razer only lists two chairs on its website.
Best Razer gaming chair
Razer Enki All-Day Gaming Comfort
The Enki is Razer’s newest gaming chair and features an Alcantara dual-density cushioned backrest and seat, with synthetic leather for the trims. The shoulder arches extend to 100 degrees, and the seating area is 21 inches wide. The chair reclines up to 152 degrees.
Sold by Amazon
Should you get an X Rocker or Razer gaming chair?
Razer and X Rocker have similar pricing for their office gaming chairs, and neither seems to inflate the value. However, the built-in speakers on the X Rocker come across as a gimmick rather than an actual selling point. If it didn’t have those, it might cost $100 less.
On the other hand, neither of Razer’s chairs come with a head or lumbar pillow. However, the material, stitching, and additional trimmings of Razer’s offerings feel more durable and have a great aesthetic.
So it actually might be an excellent strategy for Razer to have a minimal model selection, as it can invest more time and money into perfectly fine-tuning the two chairs. In X Rocker’s case, mass production brings down the chair’s price, but it offers little that other manufacturers such as Respawn and GT Racing don’t.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Clark County School District has become part of efforts to meet the needs of students experiencing homelessness.
CCSD is now a participant of Purposity, a non-profit app based in Atlanta that allows people to donate and give to community members.
Those who sign up for Purposity can follow CCSD and other local organizations on the app to see where their impact is needed.
The coalition is led by the Title I Homeless Outreach Program for Education of CCSD. When visiting CCSD’s profile on the app, there is a list of needs from several community members that can be filled by others, including heat protectant, a new water bottle, and cleaning supplies.
Because CCSD already partners with other local organizations to provide basic needs like clothing, school supplies, food, and housing, those types of items won’t be listed on Purposity unless there is a specialty item they cannot provide.

BEIJING, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After winning the fight against absolute poverty and completing the first centenary goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, the phrase "common prosperity" has gained prominence as China is determined to better the lives of more people.
"Chinese-style modernization is modernization featuring common prosperity and happiness for all, not just a few," President Xi Jinping said in his recent inspection in northeast China's Liaoning Province.
During his two-day visit which started Tuesday, President Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, called for coordinating the COVID-19 response with economic and social development, balancing development and security imperatives, fully and faithfully implementing the new development philosophy, and firmly promoting high-quality development.
China's northeast – comprising the three provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning – was once a thriving powerhouse on the back of traditional industries including steel, automobile and aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding and petroleum refining. However, afflicted by deep rooted problems including an aging population, dwindling investment and talent outflow, the region gradually showed a sharp decline in its economic performance indicators.
In 2003, the CPC Central Committee launched a revitalization strategy for the region and in 2016, renewed an action plan of focused supportive measures.
Efforts should be made to promote common prosperity for all, advance the modernization of China's system and capacity for governance, and deepen the Party's full and rigorous self-governance, to set the stage for the 20th National Congress of the CPC, Xi told Liaoning officials during the visit.
Innovation-driven development
While visiting a robotics company on Wednesday in Shenyang, the provincial capital of Liaoning, President Xi pounded extra importance on independent innovation, which will facilitate the change of China from an economy of quantity to an economy and manufacturer of quality.
Xi called for immediate efforts to promote self-reliance in science and technology and a greater boost to secure the country's grip on core technologies in key fields and equipment manufacturing, while affirming the progress made by the company in independent innovation and industrialized development.
He highlighted the efforts to create a new pattern of development that is focused on the domestic economy but features a positive interplay between domestic and international economic flows, stressing that China would continue opening up to the world.
"We have full confidence in the revitalization of the northeastern region," he said on Tuesday in Jinzhou City, calling for accelerating industrial restructuring and meeting the requirements of reform and development in the new era.
In 2020, Liaoning Province, along with the other two northeastern provinces, achieved positive economic growth, a sign of the country's economic resilience against the backdrop of the world's worst pandemic in decades.
A sound business environment has also been formed. Official data in Liaoning shows that the number of market entities in the province reached 4.58 million, up 9.1 percent year-on-year. The number of scientific and technological small and medium-sized enterprises reached 18,158, up 34.6 percent year on year.
Xi: CPC is always with the people
President Xi also paid a visit to a local community in Huanggu District of Shenyang City, where he called for the renovation of old residential communities an important work to improve the quality of people's life, not just the living environment and amenities, but of community services as well.
More efforts should be made so that the people feel the CPC serves the people wholeheartedly and is always with the people, Xi said on Wednesday.
Considering China's aging population and increasing life expectancy of the elderly, aged care services should continue to expand, Xi said.
Xi also called for enhanced child care and development.

Fans React To What Ezekiel Elliott Said About Tony Pollard
This past season witnessed the emergence of a two-headed running back monster for the Dallas Cowboys.
Tony Pollard had a breakout year, closing the gap on Ezekiel Elliott as the team's leading rusher.
While some veteran stars would be threatened by this emerging talent, Elliott seems to be embracing it. When asked about the Cowboys' run game on Thursday, Zeke reportedly brought up Pollard "unprompted" and has "no ego" about their running back tandem.
The NFL world took to Twitter to react to these reports.
"Zeke is probably the best teammate anyone could ask for, people just hate him cuz he secured the bag," one fan wrote.
"Good guy. Pollard need more touches tho," another added.
"Because he’s so overpaid he has nothing to be mad about," another said.
This coming season, Elliott is set to earn $12 million in base salary under the six-year, $90 million contract he signed in 2019.
In 2021, Zeke logged 1,002 yards and 10 touchdowns through 17 games. Pollard notched 719 yards and two rushing touchdowns through 15 games and got more work than Elliott in the receiving game.
It'll certainly be interesting to see how the Cowboys utilize this two-running-back system in 2022. | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/fans-react-to-what-ezekiel-elliott-said-about-tony-pollard | 2022-08-18T19:35:09Z | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/fans-react-to-what-ezekiel-elliott-said-about-tony-pollard | true | 1 |

Kentucky Supreme Court order will continue to block abortions
Published: Aug. 18, 2022 at 10:08 AM CDT|Updated: 5 hours ago
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Access to abortion remains banned in Kentucky.
The Kentucky Supreme Court issued an order this morning which means abortion access in the state will remain blocked.
The court declined to reverse a Kentucky Court of Appeals judge who had allowed enforcement of two laws that ban nearly all abortion while a legal challenge is pending in Jefferson Circuit Court.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal right to abortion, which means that states can regulate abortion.
The state Supreme Court will have another hearing on the issues in November.

ALONG THE JORDAN RIVER (AP) — Kristen Burckhartt felt overwhelmed. She needed time to reflect, to let it sink in that she had just briefly soaked her feet in the water where Jesus is said to have been baptized, in the Jordan River.
“It’s very profound,” said the 53-year-old visitor from Indiana. “I have not ever walked where Jesus walked, for one thing.”
Tourists and pilgrims come to the site from near and far, many driven by faith, to follow in Christ’s footsteps, to touch the river’s water, to connect with biblical events.
Symbolically and spiritually, the river is of mighty significance to many. Physically, the Lower Jordan River of today is a lot more meager than mighty.
By the time it reaches the baptismal site, its dwindling water looks sluggish, a dull brownish green shade.
Its decline, due to a confluence of factors, is intertwined with the entanglements of the decades-old Arab-Israeli conflict and rivalry over precious water in a valley where so much is contested. Championing the transboundary Jordan’s revival without wading into the thicket of the disputes that have fueled its deterioration can be a challenge.
A stretch of the river, for instance, was a hostile frontier between once-warring Israel and Jordan; river water also separates Jordan on its eastern bank from the Israeli-occupied West Bank, seized by Israel in a 1967 war and sought by the Palestinians for a state.
“It’s a victim of the conflict, definitely. It’s a victim of people, because it’s what we did as people to the river, basically, and now adding to all this it’s a victim of climate change,” said Yana Abu Taleb, the Jordanian director of EcoPeace Middle East, which brings together Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli environmentalists and lobbies for regional collaboration on saving the river. “So it’s a victim in every way.”
EcoPeace has said for years that the Lower Jordan River, which runs south from the Sea of Galilee, is particularly threatened by decades of water diversions for agriculture and domestic use and by pollution. Only a tiny fraction of its historical water flow now reaches its terminus in the Dead Sea, not far south from the baptismal site that Burckhartt visited.
That’s one reason the Dead Sea has been shrinking.
Standing at the Jordanian baptismal site Bethany Beyond the Jordan, Burckhartt, a Presbyterian, said the river’s water felt cold on her skin, offering a respite from the sweltering heat around her. In the jumble of emotions, she grappled with, she could also feel sadness for the river’s dwindling.
“I am sure God above is also sad.”
___
The Bible says Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River.
The river’s eastern bank, modern-day Jordan, and its western one both house baptismal sites, where rituals of faith unfold, a reflection of the river’s enduring religious, historical and cultural allure.
The river holds further significance as the scene of miracles in the Old Testament; after years of wandering the desert, the ancient Israelites are said to have crossed the Jordan on dry ground after the water was stopped for them to pass.
At the Jordanian baptismal site on the eastern bank recently, a woman dipped her feet in the waters and then cupped some with her hands, rubbing it on her face and over her head. Others touched the river and crossed themselves or bent over to fill empty bottles.
Charlie Watts, a tourist from England, submerged a wooden cross — a gift and a blessing for his Christian mother back home. “I took a video … so I can show her that it was true,” Watts said.
While he is not as religious as his mother, the 24-year-old still considered his visit to the Jordanian site special: “What made it surreal is to think that this is what started the world movement of Christianity.”
In an interview, Rustom Mkhjian, director general of the Baptism Site Commission in Jordan, spoke passionately about the Jordanian site’s claim to authenticity and its preservation as it was in the time of Christ and John the Baptist. UNESCO has declared it a World Heritage Site “of immense religious significance to the majority of denominations of Christian faith, who have accepted this site as the location where Jesus” was baptized.
“Every year we celebrate interfaith harmony, and among my happiest days in my life is days when I see Jews, Christians and Muslims visit the site and the three of them cry,” Mkhjian said. “The present spot where we are is a site with a great message needed: Let us build human bridges of love and peace.”
The Jordanian and West Bank sites both give visitors access to the river, where they come face to face, a narrow stretch of the waterbody between them. An Israel flag at the West Bank’s Qasr al-Yahud serves as a reminder to those in Jordan that the river is a frontier separating the two worlds.
That site is also billed as where, according to tradition, Jesus was baptized. Jordan and Israel compete for these people’s tourism dollars.
Several people in flowing white robes waded in from the West Bank recently, posing in a semicircle for photos. Visitors in another group stood on riverbank steps or in the water itself as two men in black, apparently clerical attire poured river water over their heads.
In the background some sang, their voices heard back on the Jordanian side:
“Oh, Brothers, let’s go down. … Down in the river to pray.”
___
Such serene moments contrast with the military hostilities that have played out on the river’s banks as part of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The river’s history and its water have been as politically fraught as holy, and for decades land mines have lurked menacingly on banks that were once a war zone.
On the eastern bank, demining of the area where the Jordanian baptismal site now sits began after a 1994 peace treaty between Jordan and Israel.
On the West Bank, a team from The HALO Trust, a British-American charity, has cleared mines from areas housing churches in the vicinity of the Qasr al-Yahud site as recently as 2020. The site itself had opened for the public years earlier after Israel cleared a narrow road to the river, while the churches area remained off-limits and frozen in time for decades.
Work began to clear those mines in 2018, but only after three years of building trust and getting onboard all involved, from Israeli and Palestinian authorities to several Christian denominations that own the churches and lands, said Ronen Shimoni, who was part of the HALO effort.
“Nothing is simple here in the West Bank,” Shimoni said.
___
It’s against that turbulent backdrop that EcoPeace Middle East has been urging regional collaboration on the Jordan between rivals who have long had every motivation to squeeze as much water as possible out of the river or its tributaries.
“Any fresh water left in the river would have in the past been seen as empowering the enemy. … You take everything that you can,” said Gidon Bromberg, the group’s Israeli director.
“There’s legitimate need for the water. … Water is scarce,” he said. “But the conflict creates an incentive to take everything.”
The result is that the Lower Jordan’s annual discharge into the Dead Sea was estimated at 20 million to 200 million cubic meters compared to a historic amount of 1.3 billion cubic meters, according to a report published in 2013 by a U.N. commission and a German federal institute. Bromberg puts the current figure at no more than 70 million cubic meters.
“Israel, from a historical perspective, has taken about half the water, and Syria and Jordan have taken the other half,” Bromberg said. “The pollution that’s coming into the river is coming from Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli sides and a little bit also from Syria.”
Water use in the Jordan River basin is unevenly developed, the U.N.-German report said, adding that the Palestinians can no longer access or use water from the Jordan River itself. Syria doesn’t have access to the river but has built dams in the Yarmouk River sub-basin, which is part of the Jordan River basin, it said.
For Palestinians in the West Bank, the only way to see the Jordan River is to visit the Israeli-run baptismal site there, said Nada Majdalani, EcoPeace’s Palestinian director.
“The Jordan River in the past, for Palestinians, meant livelihoods and economic stability and growth,” she said. Now, she added, it has been reduced to an “ambition of statehood and sovereignty over water resources.”
The river’s decline, she said, is especially disappointing to elderly Palestinians “who remember how the river looked … and how they used to go fishing, how they used to have a dip in the river.”
Bromberg said EcoPeace has been documenting the “lose-lose” nature of the river’s deterioration for all parties.
“From a Jewish tradition, you know, the river and its banks are a place of miracles,” he said. “Well, it doesn’t reflect a place of miracles in its current depleted state.”

In late July the Israeli government approved plans to rehabilitate a stretch of the Lower Jordan, a decision described by Environmental Protection Minister Tamar Zandberg as “historic” and the beginning of a correction.
“For decades it was neglected and most of its waters were taken, and it effectively turned into a sewage canal,” Zandberg said in a statement. “In an era of climate crisis and a serious ecological crisis, there is double significance to rehabilitating the River Jordan and returning it to nature, the public, and hikers.”
Speaking by phone, Zandberg said the plan focuses on a stretch that runs in Israeli territory and reflects Israel’s improved water situation given its desalination program, which has left it much less reliant on water it has been using from the Sea of Galilee.
“Now, we’re actually more equipped to do it,” she said. “We have water.”
She added she hopes the decision would showcase the river’s potential and pave the way for broader collaboration on the rest of the Lower Jordan as well as send a signal to Jordan that “we are committed … to our mutual assets,” including the river.
“It can provide a success story on that segment, and then it will enable more successful partnerships in the future.”
That’s something that hasn’t always come easily.
“Politics, sometimes, interferes and also budget issues and the trust… between the parties,” Zandberg said.
A regional rehabilitation and development master plan announced in 2015 by EcoPeace and others was adopted by the Jordanian government but not by the Israelis or Palestinians due to outstanding “final-status” peace process issues, according to the group.
That plan said the lower part of the Jordan River will require at least 400 million cubic meters of freshwater per year to reach “an acceptable rehabilitation level.”
Creation of a trust fund to finance de-pollution projects — an effort that EcoPeace had viewed as less politically controversial — stalled after a 2017 diplomatic crisis between Israel and Jordan and amid years of strained ties under the government of former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. There have been signs of improved ties since.
Not everyone in the region welcomes, or trusts, EcoPeace’s calls for cooperation.
“Our job is tough. Our messages are challenged,” said Abu Taleb, the group’s Jordanian director.
“Because of having that, you know, Israeli chapter, we’re always accused of being ‘normalizers,’” or having normal relations with Israel, Abu Taleb said. That is a contentious topic, unpopular among many ordinary Arabs, citing factors such as Israel’s open-ended occupation of lands it captured in 1967 and a lack of a resolution to the Palestinian issue. “The water knows no borders,” Abu Taleb said.
Bromberg said he, too, has run into criticism from what he said was a vocal minority in Israel “inappropriately” branding their work as benefiting Jordanians and Palestinians at the expense of Israeli interests. “Sadly, there are people who think that if you’re working with the other side, you must be working for the other side exclusively,” he said.
Politics aside, the strain on some governments to meet water needs complicates calls to add water to the river.
Jordan, for instance, is one of the world’s most water-scarce nations, and its challenges are compounded by a growing population swelled by waves of refugees.
“We are under stress, so we don’t have a surplus to add to the Jordan River and to revive it despite the great importance of this to the Jordanians,” said Khalil Al-Absi, an official with the Jordan Valley Authority.
“Solutions require concerted (regional) effort and the international community’s” help, the Jordanian official said.
“We have many beautiful ideas for the Jordan River but there are limitations.”
Climate change threatens to exacerbate such problems. “The impact of the climate change is seriously influencing the water resources,” Al-Absi said.
According to the World Bank, the Middle East and North Africa region faces the greatest expected economic losses from climate-related water scarcity, estimated at 6% to 14% of GDP by 2050.
Advocates, like Bromberg, acknowledge that climate change makes a Jordan revival harder– but argue that restoring the river and its banks offers economic incentives.
“The climate crisis brings home the issue of urgency that rehabilitating the river is perhaps the only way to prevent further instability in the valley,” Bromberg said, “because it can create alternative revenues through tourism.”
For all the river’s challenges, Al-Absi, the Jordanian official, said he remained optimistic. The alternative could be grim.
“If there is no water, people won’t come despite (the presence) of religious sites,” he said. “Water is life. Without water, there is no life.”

Family finds remains of 2 children in suitcases they bought at auction, New Zealand police say
NEW ZEALAND (CNN) – Police in New Zealand are investigating after the remains of two children were found in suitcases that were purchased by a family at an online auction.
At a news conference Thursday, police said they were alerted to the case last week when the suburban south Auckland family reported finding human body parts in suitcases they had bought from a storage facility.
The family is not connected to the children’s deaths and was “understandably distressed” by the discovery, police said.
Police said the children, who were likely between the ages of 5 and 10 years old, may have been dead for three to four years.
Investigators are trying to determine their identities and looking for clues into the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua said this is no easy investigation due to the emotions involved.
“I really feel for the victims and for the family of these victims, and, you know, right here, right now, there are relatives out there that aren’t aware that their loved ones have deceased, especially two young children,” he said.
Police said the storage company where the suitcases came from is cooperating with the investigation.

14:25 - The Lonsdale Cup
"Trained by Hughie Morrison, the five-year-old has progressed up through the middle-distance and staying ranks in the last 18 months or so, but it has been since he switched to front-running tactics in recent starts that he has really started to boom.
"The change in tactics has yielded two wins from his last two starts including a Group 3 at Sandown and a Group 2 at Longchamp. This race unquestionably represents deeper waters, but it wouldn't surprise if he made a bold bid from the front end and hit the frame at the very least."
Back Quickthorn 3 Places 14:25 York @ 3.02/1+ (bigger if Trueshan runs)
"Kevin Ryan's runner has done little wrong in two starts this season in Group 1 Company on British shores over six furlongs, but she simply doesn't stay the trip at this level. Looking at her six furlongs record, it reads 6000107323315513."
"The three wins have come on flat, fast tracks, including here at York, but in comparison to her five furlongs without headgear (one poor run in cheek-pieces), the record that reads 42131 and the furthest she has been beaten is five lengths in the Breeders Cup."
Back Emaraaty Ana each way in the 15:35 at York @ 17.0
15:35 - The Nunthorpe Stakes
"He gets another shot at Group 1 company after winning the King George for me at Goodwood last time. He will probably need to up his game again here, but he has good form in this grade in the past and he clearly comes in here in great nick."
Back Khaadem @ 12.011/1
15:35 - The Nunthorpe Stakes
"Raasel has a remarkable story having been purchased for 10,000 guineas and missing the entirety of 2020, winning six handicaps before raising jis game further in pattern company more recently. Finished a neck second to Khaadem in the King George Stakes last time, which was a career-best effort, so he has to go on the shortlist.
"Khaadem looked a Group 1 sprinter early in his career and has bounced right back on track of late, running out a dominant winner of the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket in April before following up in Group 2 King George Stakes at Goodwood last time. Clearly thriving at present and is a huge player."

A judge in Florida says he will block Republicans’ new congressional map.
The final decision on the map, which would give Republicans a considerable advantage in the state, could ultimately lie with the State Supreme Court.
This article is part of our Midterms 2022 Daily Briefing
MIAMI — A state judge in Florida said on Wednesday that an aggressively drawn congressional map adopted by Republicans was unconstitutional because it diminished Black voters’ electoral power.
After a hearing, Judge J. Layne Smith of the Leon County Circuit Court said from the bench that he would issue a formal order on Thursday or Friday blocking the map, which has been challenged by several voting rights groups.
The administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, will appeal.
“As Judge Smith implied, these complex constitutional matters of law were always going to be decided at the appellate level,” Taryn Fenske, the governor’s spokeswoman, said in a statement, adding that the administration was confident the map passed legal muster.
The map would add four congressional districts that lean toward the G.O.P. and eliminate three that tilt toward Democrats. That would most likely give Republicans control over 71 percent of Florida’s 28 seats — even though recent election results show the state, a perennial presidential battleground, to be much more evenly divided politically. Former President Donald J. Trump won the state in 2020 with 51.2 percent of the vote.
Republicans in the State House and Senate passed the map after Mr. DeSantis vetoed an earlier version and demanded the redrawing of two districts held by Black Democrats. Lawmakers eliminated the district held by Representative Al Lawson of Jacksonville and diluted the Orlando district held by Representative Val Demings of Orlando. Ms. Demings is leaving her seat to challenge Senator Marco Rubio, a Republican.
“We know the new congressional map proposed by the governor diminishes the voting rights of Black voters, yet the governor chose to waste taxpayer dollars convening a special session to double down on diminishing minority voting rights,” State Representative Joseph Geller of Aventura, the ranking Democrat on the House Redistricting Committee, said in a statement.
The final decision on the map could ultimately lie with the Florida Supreme Court, which has turned more conservative in recent years after the retirement of several justices who have been replaced by Mr. DeSantis’s appointees. The court’s decision could uphold or strike down an anti-gerrymandering amendment to the State Constitution enacted by Florida voters in 2010, which required compact districts that do not favor one political party.
It is unclear whether a ruling on an appeal would arrive in time for the November elections.
Judge Smith was first appointed to the bench by former Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, and then elevated to the circuit court in 2020 by Mr. DeSantis.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said it rejected the offers made by the representatives of the Federal Government during their last meeting because they failed to touch many important reasons why the union embarked on strike.
The union had in February 14, 2022 embarked on an industrial action which is still on till now and the last meeting between the union and the Federal Government representatives ended in a deadlock.
Speaking on what happened at the meeting, the President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, in a statement on Thursday said that while the government made “miserly offer” at the last meeting and blamed it on paucity of funds, massive looting was daily taking place in government circle.
He described the ” award salary” which he said was offered by Prof. Nimi Briggs as very demeaning and a bad way to treat scholars.
The statement read, “The “Award” presented by the Nimi Briggs-led team came across in a manner of take-it-or-leave-it on a sheet of paper. No serious country in the world treats their scholars this way.
“Over the years, particularly since 1992, the union has always argued for and negotiated a separate salary structure for academics for obvious reasons. ASUU does not accept any awarded salary as was the case in the administration of General Abdulsalam Abubakar. The separate salary structures in all FGN/ASUU Agreements were usually the outcome of collective bargaining processes.
” The major reason given by the Federal Government for the miserly offer, paucity of revenue, is not tenable. This is because of several reasons chief of which is poor management of the economy. This has given rise to leakages in the revenue of governments at all levels. There is wasteful spending, misappropriation of fund and outright stealing of our collective patrimony.
“ASUU believes that if the leakages in the management of the country’s resources are stopped, there will be more than enough to meet the nation’s revenue and expenditure targets without borrowing and plunging the country into a debt crisis as is the case now.
“The New Draft Agreement has other major recommendations for the funding of major components of the renegotiated 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement.
“One of such recommendations is the tax on cellphone and communication lines. Ironically, the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning recently announced its readiness to implement ASUU’s recommendation, as a revenue source, but not for education, without acknowledging the union!
“Our prayer: Where there is will, there will be way. The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Education, should return to the New Draft Agreement of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Renegotiation Committee whose work spanned a total of five and half years as a demonstration of good faith.” | https://thewhistler.ng/why-we-rejected-fgs-miserly-offer-asuu-president/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=why-we-rejected-fgs-miserly-offer-asuu-president | 2022-08-18T19:51:38Z | https://thewhistler.ng/why-we-rejected-fgs-miserly-offer-asuu-president/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=why-we-rejected-fgs-miserly-offer-asuu-president | true | 2 |
FLORENCE, Ky. — One lucky person has purchased a jackpot-hitting lottery ticket in Florence worth over $1.4 million, according to the Kentucky lottery.
The Fast Play ticket carries the largest jackpot in the history of the game, which was introduced in late 2019.
Fast Play tickets are printed from a lottery terminal like a Powerball or Plus 3 ticket, lotto officials said. The difference is the game plays more like a scratch-off, with players able to match numbers or symbols to win prizes.
When the ticket's owner realizes they've hit the jackpot, they are advised to sign the back of the ticket and keep it safe, lotto officials said. From the date of purchase, the winner has 180 days to take the ticket to lotto headquarters in Louisville to cash in.
Lottery officials said the winner should call the lottery's claims office at 877.789.4532 to make arrangements to claim their prize.

Second council joins battle to stop prestigious golf course renovation
A second council has joined the fight to stop Sydney’s most prestigious golf club redeveloping its greens and felling 600 trees, just as the matter comes to a head before the Land and Environment Court after a three-year battle.
Waverley Council says Royal Sydney Golf Club – which sits just outside its boundary in Woollahra – services a “hot spot” stormwater catchment and changes to the ecosystem could lead to flooding in nearby North Bondi.
On Tuesday night, the council voted to urgently investigate potential consequences of removing the 595 trees and submit a report to the court ahead of a conciliation conference between Royal Sydney and Woollahra Council scheduled for September 16.
Waverley Labor councillor Steven Lewis said while there was no evidence at this stage, felling the trees was likely to impact water flow and accumulation nearby, given it was prone to flooding. “We want an investigation as to what the impact may be,” he said.
Meanwhile, the club – whose members must be invited and pay $30,000 to join – has tweaked its development application and obtained a positive ecological assessment in a last-ditch attempt to succeed at the mediation.
The amended DA proposes including more longer-lived species among the 1888 new trees the club has already agreed to plant during the initial construction phase. These would help support the vulnerable grey-headed flying fox, which forages on the golf course’s shrubbery.
A report from consultants Cumberland Ecology, supplied to the court and seen by the Herald, concluded the project will improve the land’s biodiversity because there is currently “no strategic management of flora and fauna for conservation purposes” on the golf course.
“The proposal is therefore far superior for future management of biodiversity than the status quo,” Cumberland director David Robertson wrote in an accompanying letter.
In another letter submitted as part of the mediation, Royal Sydney’s lawyers noted that while the club was willing to plant the extra trees as part of the mediation, it would not necessarily do so if there was no agreement and the matter went to arbitration.
Royal Sydney president Chris Chapman, a former chairman of the broadcast media regulator ACMA, declined to comment as the matter was before the courts.
The private club has just under 6000 members. During last year’s lockdown it made headlines when it advised its Mosman-based members they would not breach the “5-kilometre radius” rule if they travelled to the golf course by water taxi, but they would if they drove.
The 58-hectare site includes an 18-hole championship course – which has hosted the Australian Open 15 times, most recently in 2016 – a nine-hole “centenary course” and other facilities. The proposed renovations, with an estimated cost of $17.5 million, pertain to the championship course.
Woollahra Golf Club, a public nine-hole course, is located on an adjacent but separate lot.
Hundreds of residents objected to the club’s plans when they were first lodged in 2019, including Bellevue Hill’s Tanya Excell, one of six people who registered to give evidence at a conciliation conference last month.
The redevelopment would only benefit the club’s “privileged members”, Excell said in a written submission, and “may poison” Rose Bay. “Royal Sydney Golf Club is the custodian of a lung of the eastern suburbs, and it is incumbent on them to manage this land in accordance with the broader public interest,” she wrote.
Woollahra Greens councillor Nicola Grieve, who has led the charge against the proposal, said the club’s undertaking to plant more longer-lived trees was unlikely to placate her objections as the trees would take years to grow.
“They may promise that, but who will police it? The damage will already have been done,” she said. “What are we going to do, go to the club in 10 or 15 years and say, ‘You haven’t delivered the canopy you promised?’ It is a farcical situation.”

Union Pacific Railroad and Twin Cities Public Television Partner on Multilingual Rail Safety Campaign
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Union Pacific Railroad and Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) are teaming up to make rail safety a universal language, launching new English- and Spanish-language safety multi-media materials aimed at families and educators as the "Back to School" season kicks off nationwide.
"With more than 140,000 miles of track and 212,000 rail crossings in the U.S., chances are you and your child will come across at least one on the way to and from school, whether it's on foot or by car," said Union Pacific Assistant Vice President and Chief Safety Officer Connie Roseberry. "Now, is the perfect time to talk about staying safe around the tracks, just as you would remind a child to look both ways when crossing the street. We're proud of our work with TPT to provide families a fun, engaging way to talk about rail safety, and give educators free, downloadable tools for their classroom."
According to data from Safe Kids Worldwide, more than 40% of rail-related injury incidents occur between 3-9 p.m. Sharing three simple rail safety tips with loved ones can help keep students safe around the tracks:
- Limit Technology Use: Phones, watches and games can become a dangerous distraction. Put devices and ear buds away until you safely cross the tracks.
- Wait for Trains to Pass: Never try to race a train, always wait for it to pass. Wait until all warning devices are clear before crossing.
- Always Obey Signs: Only cross railroad tracks at designated crossing areas. Do not walk on or near the tracks, and do not go around warning devices.
New videos and social media infographics that drive home these safety tips are being featured over the next two months on PBS and Univision/Televisa stations in Chicago, Illinois; San Antonio and Houston, Texas; Portland, Oregon; Los Angeles, California; and Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.
This is the third year Union Pacific and TPT have worked together to deliver multilingual safety messages through the Community Ties Giving Program, but the first time the message has been expanded nationwide, through a regional partnership grant.

Junior Minister Robert Troy has “apologised unreservedly” for a series of “errors and omissions” he made in his declaration of interests to the Irish parliament.
The Minister of State with responsibility for Trade Promotion said he fully appreciated the “seriousness of his mistake” as he confirmed he had amended the Dail’s register of declarations of interest.
The Fianna Fail TD has also submitted an amended return to the Standards in Public Office (Sipo).
“I take my role and responsibility as a TD for Longford-Westmeath and Minister of State very seriously and I fully appreciate the seriousness of my mistake,” he said.
“I sincerely regret that my omissions and errors could be seen as my deflection or disregard of my responsibilities as public representative.
“I take full responsibility and I apologise unreservedly to my constituents, colleagues in Government, to the Dail, and to Sipo for these errors and omissions.”
Website The Ditch first reported that Mr Troy had previously owned a property in Mullingar, that he sold to Westmeath County Council in 2018 for 230,0000 euro, which had not been declared on the official Dail register.
Mr Troy was a Westmeath councillor before his election to the Dail in 2011.
In a statement on Thursday, the Longford-Westmeath TD said he had been under the “mistaken impression” that only property in his possession on December 31 of the registerable year was to be registered and not properties sold during that year.
Mr Troy said: “I have reviewed my declarations made to date in detail and I am satisfied that my amended returns accurately reflect all my interests for public record.”
He submitted a total of seven entries in the amended document.
The entries are as follows:
For 2021 he has added that he has his former registered private dwelling house (PDH), Main Street Ballynacargy “rented out since November 2021”.
For 2020 he has now included Oak Crest “which was omitted by error due to it being sold in 2020, but registered in 2019”.
For 2018 he said he has included “the sale of Ashfield which was recorded in all previous years”.
Mr Troy also added RMT Management Limited under directorship interests for 2021: “This was declared in previous years. I began the VSO process to close in 2020, and ceased operations in 2020. I was unaware that the process was not formally completed until 2021 – hence my error.”
Under land interests, he added the following:
For 2011 – 2021 he included all properties under land and occupation. Previously I had declared them under “Occupation”, on advice from Sipo these should be declared secondly under “Properties”.
For the year 2019 he has now declared “the sale of Ashlawn, Clonbalt Woods, Longford. This was omitted in error as the property was bought and sold that year.”
For 2018 he said he had “included the sale of Ashfield under land secondly as per the above advice.”
Mr Troy also refuted allegations that he had insisted on rent monies be paid in cash.
He said he was aware of “inaccuracies” shared by specific media outlets and shared by individuals on social media “pertaining to his alleged insistence of rent monies to be paid in cash”.
“I have reviewed my records on such, and I fully refute such claims,” he added.
“On full review of my records, I can confirm that Westmeath County Council paid rent for this property through electronic transfer from August 1, 2011 to the date the tenancy ended.
“At all times, I fully declared my income from this, and all property I own.
“I also fully refute inference or implication of any improper tax conduct on my part. I am fully tax compliant as a landlord and public representative.”
Mr Troy also published details he did not have to be declared but for “full transparency” he said he wanted to outline further information.
The statement read: “I have at all times declared my 50% ownership of 39 Cathedral View Mullingar. During the course of my review, it was brought to my attention that this property is in fact registered in the sole name of the co-owner. That is clearly an error, and I will take the necessary steps now to have this corrected.
– I have two Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) contracts with Westmeath County Council.
– I have disclosed details in relation to negotiations for potential sales of properties.
– My now wife and then-girlfriend was a secretary of RMT Management Limited.
– I held voluntary and non–remunerative directorships with Westmeath Community Development and Mullingar Arts Centre – ending in 2011 and 2015 respectively.
– I have provided details of the sale of the garden of one of my registered properties, 25 A Rathdown Road, in 2020.
– I registered an inter-parliamentary trip to Taiwan in 2013 – I participated in a Rent-a-Room scheme in 2019 in my private dwelling house.”

MURSKA SOBOTA, Slovenia (AP) — Former United States international Heather O'Reilly scored just four minutes into her Women's Champions League debut to give Irish team Shelbourne a 1-0 win over Slovenian club Pomurje on Thursday in the first round of qualifying for the group stage.
O'Reilly came out of retirement at the age of 37 in order to play in the competition for the first time, which she said was the only thing missing on a resume that includes three Olympic gold medals and a World Cup victory.
She retired from internationals in 2016 and from club soccer in 2019 before announcing her return last month.
In Slovenia, O'Reilly scored with a header that looped over the goalkeeper after the Slovenian team failed to clear a cross into the area just four minutes into the game.
“What a dream come true," O'Reilly said in an interview posted online by the club. "Playing in the champions League was such a life dream for me, and so I can’t believe it actually happened today. And to add to it, obviously to score, and that being the game winner is just amazing. ... I didn’t think it was going to be possible in my career.”
Shelbourne advances to a playoff final against Icelandic club Valur on Sunday where the winner will enter the second round of qualifying for the 16-team group stage.

Champion Boston Celtics alumnus and current-day NBA broadcaster Eddie House is officially joining the NBC Boston Sports’ pre- and postgame show cast for the 2022-23 season according to a press release from the team on Wednesday that outlined their coverage plan for the coming campaign. It will see the 2008 title winner reunite with fellow Banner 17 alum, Boston big man Kendrick Perkins.
The duo, instrumental in the Celtics’ last title run, may well end up documenting the team’s next championship from the studio while Hall of Fame play-by-play voice Mike Gorman and fellow former champion Celtic and color man Brian Scalabrine provide broadcasting coverage at the games.
Per the Celtics’ release, 98.5 The Sports Hub, The Celtics Radio Network, and 105.7 WROR’s Sean Grande and Cedric Maxwell will once again handle radio broadcast duties live for all 82 games of the coming regular season.
When can we expect the Boston Celtics to rest players on back to backs? https://t.co/WeYkkCLxMK

Several reports earlier this year said the cheapest iPhone 14 Pro models might pack 256GB of storage. That’s twice the flash memory of the base iPhone 13 Pro and the kind of upgrade many iPhone buyers would appreciate. That storage tier just came up again in a new research note from an analyst, who said that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max might be $100 more expensive than their predecessors.
The price estimate is in line with most iPhone 14 reports out there. They all say the cheapest iPhone 14 will start at $799. But the most affordable Pro model will be $300 more, at $1,099. Again, that’s $100 pricier than the iPhone 13 Pro.
The iPhone 14 will be the first generation where the non-Pro and Pro models do not share the same specs. A combination of factors might have led to this decision. Inflation drove up prices for goods, and lockdowns impacted manufacturing and logistics.
It’s more expensive to manufacture goods than in previous years. And it might be more difficult for a company like Apple to procure critical components in large enough quantities to satisfy its production needs.
As a result, the iPhone 14 price has to go up. And the significant differentiation between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models helps Apple justify the price increase while also managing a complex supply chain.
Diehard iPhone fans who keep up with rumors already know the big specs differences. The iPhone 14 Pro models will have 120Hz OLED panels that support always-on display functionality, higher-quality OLED screens, the latest A16 Bionic chip paired with the fastest LPDDR5 RAM, a brand new 48-megapixel wide camera sensor on the back, and the extra telephoto (zoom) lens.
Bumping the base storage on the iPhone 14 Pro models would be an additional advantage.
Add the new pill-and-hole screen design, and the iPhone 14 Pro is a totally different phone. In contrast, the iPhone 14 models are more affordable equivalents of the iPhone 13 Pro models. Compared to the 2021 Pros, they lose the 120Hz panel and the triple-lens camera on the back.
These differences might not be immediately apparent to average consumers who do not care about rumors. The design alone can’t justify the $100 price increase. And the A16 Bionic, faster RAM, and 120Hz refresh rate might not be flashy enough.
However, most iPhone users care about storage. Especially if they’ve been through a few iPhone generations and are running out of storage space. That’s why bumping the base storage to 256GB on iPhone 14 Pro compared to 128GB on iPhone 14 would be an easy way to justify the price bump.
Let’s also remember that the 256GB iPhone 13 Pro costs $1,099, or $100 more than the 128GB version. Doubling the storage to 512GB and 1TB means paying an extra $200 for each bump.
A 256GB iPhone 14 Pro selling for $1,099 would be equivalent to Apple keeping last year’s iPhone 13 Pro pricing structure. But the 128GB variant would be gone.
All of that is speculation and wishful thinking, however. The iPhone 14 must already be in production by now. Apple settled on its storage tiers for the iPhone 14 Pro models a long time ago. And no matter how much we’d love to see storage start at 256GB, 128GB probably makes even more sense for Apple’s profit goals.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz has clapped back at Al Franken after the former senator from Minnesota called Cruz a "d**k" while hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, August 16. Franken said his remarks during his opening monologue.
"I really think one of the most serious issues facing our country today is just how big a d**k Ted Cruz is," Franken said. "I've said it before, but I probably liked Ted Cruz more than most of my colleagues liked Ted Cruz, and I hate Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is probably one of the most famous senators because, as I mentioned, he's a huge d**k."
The following day Cruz responded to Franken's comments on Twitter. The Texas leader called the politician turned comedian a "serial groper" and someone who's "disgraced" and an "unemployed socialist."
"[He's] now guest hosting on national television and fantasizing about my genitalia," Cruz tweeted. "Stop catcalling me, Al. I don't want [to] date you."
The comment made by Cruz calling Franken a "groper" stems from an incident where Franken was accused of "forcibly kissing and groping" a radio news anchor in 2006, according to a report from NBC News. During this time, Franken was still primarily known for his work on Saturday Night Live. The news anchor said the alleged offense took place while rehearsing a skit Franken wrote.
Franken was elected to the Senate in 2008 and won a second term in 2014.
