A tap in the main kitchen at The Ark centre came off and sprang a leak, disrupting the meal service on Thursday.
A plumber was called who didn't turn up and volunteers were forced to use a small kitchen upstairs at their building in Castle Foregate.
But following a plea on twitter last night and through the Shropshire Star, manager Wendy Faulkner said they were 'inundated' with offers of help from plumbers or handy men, all of them free of charge.
The original plumber turned up this morning to fix the leak and the tap, and full service has now resumed. Around 30 to 50 people come in for breakfasts and lunch to the centre, which also offers help, advice and support to people.
Wendy said: "Thank you to everyone who got in touch and offered help - it shows there are a lot of kind hearted people out there and that a community spirit in Shrewsbury is alive and well.
"We are back to full capacity now after the problem was fixed but again thank you to everyone who reached out to us." | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/local-hubs/shrewsbury/2022/08/19/leaky-problem-fixed-at-shrewsbury-charity-after-plea/ | 2022-08-19T13:42:03Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/local-hubs/shrewsbury/2022/08/19/leaky-problem-fixed-at-shrewsbury-charity-after-plea/ | true | 2 |

One of the widely reported problems with electric vehicle adoption has been the lack of charging infrastructure, but apparently, that's not the only issue. A new survey revealed that many or potentially even most of the roughly 41,000 public charging stations in the U.S. don't even work properly.
Low Satisfaction With EV Charging Stations
J.D. Power surveyed plug-in hybrid and electric vehicle owners during the first six months of the year and found that the public charging infrastructure is severely lacking in functionality — even though there are more public charging stations in operation than ever before.
Q2 2022 hedge fund letters, conferences and more
According to the survey, customers are less satisfied with the Level 2 public charging infrastructure this year, with the satisfaction level falling from 643 last year to 633 this year. The scale is 1,000 points. Satisfaction with the faster DC fast-charging infrastructure is slightly higher but flat with last year at 674.
Tesla Destination charging stations received the highest marks in Level 2 chargers with a score of 680, and Tesla Superchargers had the highest score at 739.
Survey Reveals Many Broken EV Charging Plugs
According to J.D. Power, scores of 745 for DC fast-chargers and 699 for Level 2 charging plugs shows that most EV owners are fairly satisfied with how easy it is to charge their vehicles using the available public infrastructure. These scores demonstrate that EV owners are reporting problems using public charging plugs because the plugs are actually broken and not because they don't know how to use them.
The survey also found that almost all other attributions of public charging stations score lower, some of which are significantly lower. Satisfaction with the costs of charging are exceptionally low at 473 for DC fast chargers and 446 for Level 2 chargers.
Plug-in hybrid and EV drivers report high satisfaction with locating a public charging plug at 724 for DC fast chargers and 683 for Level 2 chargers. However, maintenance is apparently a common and ongoing issue with most stations.
One out of every five respondents reported that they didn't charge their vehicle when they visited a public charging station. Seventy-two percent of those who didn't charge their vehicle said it was because the station was either malfunctioning or out of service.
Differences By Region
Driver satisfaction also varied by region. The Pacific region has the most public chargers and the highest concentration of EV owners, but they aren't as satisfied with the availability and condition of the public chargers as those in other areas.
EV owners in the West North Central region, which includes the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Minnesota, reported the highest level of satisfaction with the availability of public chargers. Meanwhile, drivers in the East North Central region, which covers Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio, reported the highest satisfaction with the condition of the public chargers.
Mid-cap stocks are defined as those of companies that have a market capitalization (market cap) between $2 billion and $10 billion. This is a class of stocks that can offer solid growth and value. However, mid-cap stocks can be overlooked by even the most experienced investors.
One of the advantages of owning mid-cap stocks is diversification. Large-cap stocks can mitigate much of the volatility in the market, but they also can limit the upside growth. Small-cap stocks may offer strong growth potential, but they may not be a good choice for investors with a low-risk tolerance. By contrast, the right mid-cap stocks can be a Goldilocks alternative.
In this presentation, we're analyzing seven mid-cap stocks that are showing a nice mix of growth and value. The stocks cover a variety of sectors, and there are stocks for investors of all styles.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman urges Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CODX) investors who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now.

Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CODX) Securities Fraud Class Action:
Throughout the Class Period, Defendants repeatedly touted Co-Diagnostics' Logix Smart COVID-19 Test and, as recently as May 12, 2022, reassured investors about the demand for that product.
The complaint alleges that Defendants failed to disclose that demand for the Test had plummeted throughout the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. As a result, Defendants' positive statements about the demand for the Logix Smart COVID-19 Test lacked a reasonable basis.
Investors began to learn the truth, according to the complaint, on Aug. 11, 2022, when Co-Diagnostics announced disastrous financial results for Q2 2022. The company's quarterly revenue plummeted almost 82% from the prior year period to just $5 million. Management primarily blamed the results on lower demand for the Logix Smart COVID-19 Test and admitted they saw weak demand as Q2 2022 progressed.
This news sent the price of Co-Diagnostics shares crashing 30% lower on Aug. 12, 2022, wiping out over $66 million of shareholder value.
"We're focused on investors' losses and proving Defendants misled investors about the real demand for Co-Diagnostics' test," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2706788975860/napanee-teen-set-to-perform-at-the-cne-in-toronto | 2022-08-19T14:15:04Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2706788975860/napanee-teen-set-to-perform-at-the-cne-in-toronto | false | 12721 |
The National Labor Relations Board won an injunction against Starbucks as a judge ruled that the company must rehire seven former employees.
Starbucks fired the employees after attempting to form a union.
The National Labor Relations Board accused Starbucks of attempting to thwart unionizing efforts at its stores.
"Today's federal court decision ordering Starbucks to reinstate the seven unlawfully fired Starbucks workers in Memphis is a crucial step in ensuring that these workers, and all Starbucks workers, can freely exercise their right to join together to improve their working conditions and form a union," said NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo. "Starbucks, and other employers, should take note that the NLRB will continue to vigorously protect workers' right to organize without interference from their employer."
The National Labor Relations Board accused Starbucks of directing "a wide variety of coercive measures at its employees, including: disciplining the employee responsible for starting the campaign; more closely supervising its employees; closing the area of the store on days organizers had previously invited the public and customers to come to show support for the campaign; and removing all pro-union materials from the community bulletin board inside the store, including notes authored by customers expressing support for the employees and their campaign."
In a statement to NPR, Starbucks said it plans to fight the ruling.
"We strongly disagree with the judge's ruling in this case," the company said. "These individuals violated numerous policies and failed to maintain a secure work environment and safety standards. Interest in a union does not exempt partners from following policies that are in place to protect partners, our customers and the communities we serve."
The Starbucks Workers United has grown to include 200 stores with 16,000 members. | https://www.tv20detroit.com/news/national/starbucks-must-rehire-employees-who-tried-to-unionize-judge-rules | 2022-08-19T14:15:04Z | https://www.tv20detroit.com/news/national/starbucks-must-rehire-employees-who-tried-to-unionize-judge-rules | false | 23 |
BEIJING, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- An interview with reporter Xu Ruyi from China.org.cn on school bullying in China:
According to recently released official data, in 2021, the number of arrests and prosecutions for crimes related to school bullying and violence on campuses in China fell by 86% and 82% respectively, showing a continued decline in these crimes. The decrease shows that the extensive attention and response to school bullying by the government and the public are making a difference.
School bullying is a social problem affecting many children and adolescents around the world. According to UNESCO, 246 million children and adolescents experience school violence and bullying in some form every year.
I myself was a victim of school bullying. When I was in middle school, a small group headed by one or two classmates would often verbally abuse and spread rumors about me. On several occasions, I found my textbooks and schoolbag lying on the floor when I returned from lunch. Some even painted insulting words on my desk. However, when I tried to explain to my teachers and parents what had happened, I realized that each of these incidents alone seemed trivial, and no one really understood my situation.
In my view, school bullying is often covert, and due to social and cultural factors in China, such misdeeds are especially hard to notice, and humiliation is more common than violence. In the past, schools and families didn't pay enough attention to the psychological development of adolescents and failed to provide sufficient education on the matter. They also lacked knowledge and experience on how to tackle bullying.
But things are changing. Over the past decade, China has introduced a series of targeted measures to address these problems based on the specific characteristics of school bullying.
In April 2016, China announced its first steps to preventing and controlling school bullying at the national level, and the Law on the Protection of Minors and the Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency were amended in 2020. These laws incorporated the concept of school bullying, clarified the responsibilities of schools and families in developing students' psychological health and preventing school bullying, and stipulated early intervention, graded prevention and the correction of misbehavior. In addition, primary and secondary schools in China now appoint judicial officers as vice principals in charge of law-related affairs to ensure that all infringements to minors' rights and interests are reported.
Of course, there is still a long way to go to eradicate bullying from schools. However, through improvements to the legal system, transformations in the educational philosophy, increased social equality, and the greater importance that the whole of society attaches to understanding, respecting and caring for children and teenagers — visible changes have taken place. As such, solid steps are being taken to better protect minors.

Springfield animal shelters struggle with more pets being surrendered, fewer adoptions
The Springfield-Greene County Health Department's Animal Control and local animal rescue organizations are in high demand as the number of pets being surrendered has increased and the number of adoptions has decreased.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Rescue One, an animal rescue and veterinary clinic in Springfield, had 454 animals (dogs and cats) in its care. This is up from an average of 300 animals in care last summer.
Rescue One is foster-based, rather than shelter-based. The organization does not have much of its own capacity for holding animals. At the Rescue One office, about 6-8 dogs can be boarded in kennels.
On Wednesday, Rescue One was housing four dogs and four cats at its office, located at 1927 E. Bennett St. Suite B.
Michele Rehkop, Rescue One adoptions coordinator, said the organization has about 300 people who foster animals, but this number includes both active and dormant fosters. Some Rescue One fosters and volunteers are taking on more animals than usual to meet the demand.
The Humane Society of Southwest Missouri has been forced to think of creative ways to house an influx of animals. Katie Newcomb, humane society marketing manager, said the shelter can house up to 300 animals, but they are experiencing overpopulation.
As of Thursday, the shelter was housing dogs in various offices due to the lack of available dog kennels and runs. Specialty instances make things even harder.
"If a pregnant cat comes in, she needs a really quiet, dark room, so we'll use one of our extra bathrooms and that becomes her room," Newcomb said.
As for Greene County's animal control, the number of animals it can care for is even smaller than Rescue One and the humane society.
Animal control is licensed through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and must follow certain guidelines, including capacity limits.
Andee Elmore, health department administrator of environmental health, said animal control's maximum capacity is around 60 dogs and 20 cats.
"We have to maintain a certain level of population for our (animals) in order for them to be safe and healthy and be a humanely-sized population," Elmore said.
As of Tuesday morning, animal control had reached its capacity limits. But this isn't rare, Elmore said animal control's shelter is almost always near its limit for both dogs and cats.
Elmore said euthanasia is only used in cases of sick, injured or aggressive animals, who cannot be safely placed with a family household. Animal control does not euthanize animals for the sake of making more space.
Elmore said animal control euthanizes about every week.
More:New Greene County Juvenile Office employee loves helping others and getting head scratches
Before euthanasia takes place, animal control takes several steps to provide the best opportunity for animals. When an animal is found in the field, it is scanned for a microchip, which typically provides the owner's information, including name, phone number and address. If this is the case, the animal is returned.
If a microchip is not found, the animal is taken to animal control's shelter. There, the animal is microchipped and receives a flea treatment and vaccinations. Animal control then works with its rescue partners to ensure the animal is fostered or adopted.
Elmore said in the last six months animal control has increased its social media presence, specifically on Facebook, which has led to more adoptions.
More animals coming in, fewer going out
When it comes to the increase of pets needing new homes, the majority of cases Rescue One deals with are owner surrenders, Rehkop said.
During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Rescue One experienced an influx of animal adoptions. Now, as more folks return to their workplaces, levels of commitment may be shifting.
Rehkop said there are several factors to the increase in owner surrenders:
- As folks return to work in-person, pets may not adjust well to being home alone, adopting behavioral issues
- Pet owners move away, unable to take pets with them
- Folks have children and do not want to have a pet in the house with their babies
- Financial strain
"If you're a pet owner, stay with that commitment to keep the animal and don't think of it as disposable because something in your life changes," Rehkop said. "Think outside of the box about what you can do to keep it in your home, whether it be training or consulting with your vet as to why something's occurring."
In addition to the increase of animals being donated to shelters, there are fewer folks adopting animals right now.
Newcomb attributed this to inflation, as people may not feel they will be able to afford the necessary pet care expenses.
How can I help?
If you find a lost pet, try to locate its owner
Rehkop encouraged people who find a lost animal to try finding its owner, before calling animal control or organizations like Rescue One, unless the animal needs medical attention.
On a daily basis, Rescue One may receive 20 lost animal email requests.
"We can't take it. We don't have anywhere to put it," Rehkop said. "If you're going to stop and grab this dog, you've got to have a plan of what you're going to do with it."
Rehkop recommended online lost and found resources like Leigh's Lost and Found, a local Facebook community, PawBoost and Nextdoor, a service connecting neighborhoods.
A veterinarian office will scan a found animal free of charge to see if it has a microchip.
Spay and neuter
Spaying and/or neutering your pet is a good way to help population control.
The Springfield Animal Advocacy Foundation Spay Neuter Clinic and Humane Society of Southwest Missouri both offer spay and neuter surgeries. Individual vet clinics often offer these surgeries, too.
Microchip
Elmore and Rehkop both encouraged pet owners to get their animals microchipped. When an animal is microchipped, it makes it easier for rescue teams to identify its owner.
Several companies offer pet microchipping. The American Animal Hospital Association offers a full list at aaha.org/your-pet/pet-microchip-lookup/participating-companies/.
Donate time
Animal organizations like Rescue One and the humane society are in need of volunteers as the demand for their services remains high.

To learn more about volunteering with the humane society, visit the shelter in person at 3161 W. Norton Road or read information online at swh.org/volunteer1.html.

Foster
Rescue One, the humane society and other area rescue organizations, are welcoming new fosters.
Rehkop and Newcomb stressed the importance of fosters who represent a variety of backgrounds and households, ranging from college students in apartments to retirees with more time to spend with the animals.
Both Rescue One and the humane society provide fosters with pet essentials, such as food, leashes, crates, bowls and paid veterinary expenses.
To foster with Rescue One, complete the online application at rescueonespringfield.com/volunteer/foster-care/. A PDF version of the application may also be emailed to rescueonespringfield@gmail.com or mailed to Rescue One at 1927 E. Bennett St. Springfield, MO 65804.

Greene County's animal control is responsible for securing dogs on the loose, containing aggressive dogs, investigating animal bites and rabies, and addressing chicken complaints. Animal control also picks up injured dogs, cats and wildlife.

EVgo and GM technical collaboration provides streamlined charging experience; latest Autocharge technology available as Plug and Charge on GM brand apps
EVgo Inc. EVGO, the nation's largest public fast charging network for electric vehicles (EVs), and General Motors (GM) today announced the availability of Plug and Charge for all GM EVs* with DC fast-charging capability on the EVgo network.

Plug and Charge enables EVgo GM customers to start a fast-charging session in seconds without the need to open a mobile app or swipe an RFID or credit card, saving EV drivers time and helping to deliver a seamless and secure charging experience.
GM's Plug and Charge service utilizes the latest iteration of EVgo's Autocharge technology, adding enhanced security features. The Autocharge technology builds on EVgo's leadership position in EV charging innovation and streamlines the customer experience.
"At its core, this latest iteration of the Autocharge technology is a customer convenience feature that can save drivers time by simplifying the fast-charging experience while maintaining a high level of security and protection," said Ivo Steklac, Chief Technology Officer at EVgo. "In collaboration with GM, EVgo continues to implement new technology across multiple hardware and software platforms to enhance the charging experience."
This innovative technology will initially be available to all GM EVs with DC fast-charging capability** at EVgo stations. After a one-time enrollment, customers will unlock convenient fast charging on the EVgo network with the charger and car communicating to securely match the vehicle to the driver's EVgo and GM brand app account.
To enroll, GM customers must register their vehicle in the GM brand app (myChevrolet, myGMC, myCadillac), link their EVgo account and activate Plug and Charge within their GM brand app.
"We want to be the company that makes the EV experience seamless and convenient for everyone," said Hoss Hassani, GM vice president of EV Ecosystem. "Our collaboration with EVgo on Plug and Charge complements the work already in place with Ultium Charge 360 and is a part of our larger effort this year to expand charging infrastructure, access and education."
For more information around the locations of fast chargers within EVgo's charging network, visit www.evgo.com.
* Customers must have an EVgo account, active OnStar connected services and the GM brand app (myChevrolet, myGMC, myCadillac) associated with their vehicle to use the new service.
** CHAdeMO does not have a unique identifier and therefore cannot use Autocharge (or plug-and-charge). A certain subset of CCS vehicles also are unable to take advantage of Autocharge due to vehicle manufacturer limitations.

Although the precise cause of death is still unknown, his relatives said he was found dead in his U.S. home. "It is with tremendous sorrow that we inform Darius Campbell Danesh's passing," the group said in a statement.
Over the years, Darius had two near-death experiences. He admitted to Hello! magazine in 2010 that he met a car accident that left him with a fractured neck. He was a passenger in a Porsche that skidded on oil and hit a wall at 70 mph while traveling to Spain. He declared at the moment, "I'm very grateful to be alive. Certainly, one of my nine lives has been used.''
Five years later, Darius drank water from the Thames and became meningitis-positive, putting him into a coma.
While making a promotional video for his fund's Fresh2O Water filter, which is marketed as removing 99.9% of all known "water-borne illnesses, bacteria, and viruses," the terrifying incident happened when he drank water from a Thames sewage outlet.
At the time, he explained to the Sunday Post: "We filmed a demonstration movie down by the Thames adjacent to a sewage exit to gather funds to transport the water filters to Africa. The filters eliminate 99.99% of all known water-borne diseases, bacteria, and viruses."
"I raised the money and drank the water for the video, but when I traveled to Glasgow to visit my mother for her birthday, I passed out."
Darius added, "I was found to have cerebral edema, a disorder where the brain enlarges beyond the size of the skull."
"My dad helped me survive. He drove me to the hospital, where they immediately made a diagnosis. Bacterial meningitis struck me."
"I had a lingering inflammatory illness that I had caught from the Thames."
He disclosed, "It caused my white blood cell count to drop for several months and reduced my immunity, making me susceptible to catching any illness."

As we head into September, it seems like the presidential campaign is seriously getting underway.
Oops! Looks like that statement is two years early. Or is it?
Gov. Gavin Newsom, who won 56% of the June primary vote, still needs one more ratification at the polls, where he won election in 2018 and easily beat back a recall almost exactly one year ago.
But his Republican opponent this fall took just under 18% of the primary vote, so Newsom does not exactly have a fight on his hands. That’s why he was able to head out of state for a week over the July 4 holiday and take other family vacations in places like Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and some Central American points.
That’s also why he was able to spend well over $100,000 in campaign funds donated to his gubernatorial fund on television commercials and newspaper ads in Florida and Texas, essentially bagging on those states’ GOP governors, Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, for things like banning some books from public schools, making it hard for elementary school teachers to discuss gender roles and doing what they can to make abortions as illegal as possible.
“Freedom,” said Newsom, hair slicked back as usual and wearing an open-necked Western-style shirt as he faced the TV camera in his spots, “it’s under attack in your state. Republican leaders, they’re banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors. I urge all of you…to join the fight. Or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom — freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate and the freedom to love.”
This was Newsom using his campaign war chest, which topped $23 million at midsummer, with no need to spend much at home, in a campaign to become the de facto leader of the national Democratic Party.
Sure, he drew derision from Republicans, including DeSantis, who correctly took Newsom’s ad as an attack on him. The Florida governor, who has targeted California’s Walt Disney Co., whose Disney World resort outside Orlando is Florida’s largest employer with more than 62,000 workers, for extra taxes ever since the firm opposed his restrictions on talking to schoolchildren about gays.
DeSantis lashed back at Newsom, blasting “soul-crushing COVID lockdowns that lasted years in California” and calling California “the most over-regulated, overbearing, overtaxed state in the Union.”
Of course, the COVID lockdowns he excoriated spared at least 40,000 California lives during the first two years of the pandemic, compared to what the death toll here would have been if Newsom had used a “keep everything open” approach like Florida’s.
The question is whether saving businesses and employees some great inconvenience would have been worth all those lost lives.
Newsom’s ad was actually a continuation of his effort last spring to fire up national Democrats, who he portrayed as lethargic after the early release of a draft of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to end federal abortion rights.
Newsom pushed hard for a state constitutional amendment guaranteeing abortion rights in California, on the ballot this fall as Proposition 1, and lambasted his own party almost as strongly as he criticized Republicans for rubber-stamping the three Donald Trump high court appointees behind that ruling.
Given the low approval poll ratings for President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, he might be all his party has if it wants to avoid a second term of Trump or a Trumpist figure like DeSantis in the White House. He stands a chance of towering over the Democratic field after this year’s mid-term elections.
Going after DeSantis let him promote himself while still denying he’s running for president. It’s clear one of his pitches in any presidential run would be that Republicans are “pro-government-mandated birth, not pro-life.” He notes they consistently oppose funding for pre-natal care, early education and the Affordable Care Act — better known as “Obamacare.”
“They’re pro-birth, and then you’re on your own,” he said, adding that “I can’t take any more of this. Why aren’t we standing up more firmly, calling this out? Where’s the counteroffensive?”
Newsom’s own counteroffensive, and his 2024 campaign, may have begun with his summertime ads.

‘Theatrical magic’: Walsh Bay’s peerless renovation takes out top award
By Stephen Crafti
Walsh Bay in Sydney, once a historic port but now transformed into a cutting-edge performance precinct, has a rich cultural and architectural history.
Originally built in 1912, the now four-fingered wharf would scale the height of a 40-storey skyscraper if it was placed vertically rather than expanding out across the water.
Initially conceived as general cargo storage, the buildings fell into disrepair in the 1970s until recent times when they became a major cultural hub in Sydney – home to the Bangarra Dance Theatre, the Sydney Dance Company and the Sydney Choir (in Pier 4/5) and, more recently in Pier 2/3, new amenities for the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Bell Shakespeare Company and the Australian Theatre for Young People.
When Tonkin Zulaikha Greer architects first inspected Pier 2/3, it was little more than an empty shell, fortunately still endowed with many of the heritage-listed building’s features – timber floors, worn timber columns and even the hydraulic presses.
Working with Hassell and heritage specialists Tropman & Tropman Architects, what was a two-level building is now four levels, including two mezzanines.
Commissioned by Creative New South Wales and built by Richard Crookes Constructions, what was literally an empty shell received top honours in this year’s New South Wales Architecture Awards, including the Greenway Award for Heritage and the Public Architecture Award.
Given the strict heritage controls, a new glass enclosed lift was added to the exterior along with balcony gantries.
Some of the original timber was carefully restored and any new elements, such as steel walls to create new spaces, are dark and recessive.
Tonkin Zulaikha Greer also used glass in some instances that allow spaces to extend indefinitely and, in the case of the lobby for Pier 2/3, provide a thoughtful; contemporary insertion with a striking mild-steel staircase.
“Like the theatre that’s performed here, it was important to create a degree of theatrical magic,” says architect Peter Tonkin, director of Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, who estimates that approximately 25 per cent of the space was given over to flexible performance requirements and events, including the recent staging of the Sydney Biennale.
“But these spaces were for conferences or events, such as cocktail parties for 1500 people,” adds Tonkin.
Given the need to hold larger events, there’s now also a full commercial kitchen.
While many new amenities have been included, such as heating, working with such an important heritage structure negated the inclusion of air conditioning.
“That would have meant a considerable amount of insulation (both walls and ceilings) that would have impinged on the rawness of the structure.
But you can easily open the sliding panels and receive cross ventilation from the breeze coming off the water,” says Tonkin.
When new structures have been included, the steel walls are in dark grey, evocative of a container.
With mirrors set above, they appear to be transitory rather than a fixed addition to the building.
Other fine detailing can be appreciated in the Rebel Theatre, the name given to the Australian Theatre for Young People.
Designed to accommodate 200 students, it was conceived as an intimate space that allows for close interaction with the performers.
Timber-battened walls over acoustic fabric deadens any sound from the tooting of passing ferries or helicopters.
One of the most sumptuous interiors at Pier 2/3 is a rehearsal room, located on the upper level.
With its rippled plywood ceiling and curvaceous walls edged in brass (so precious violins aren’t scratched), there are also three layers of glass to ensure the Australian Chamber Orchestra can fully enjoy this state-of-the art facility.
And while not obvious from an initial glance, the perforated holes in the rippled plywood ceiling are quotations in braille from leading musicians.
While the accolades for Tonkin and his team are extremely gratifying, it was the opportunity to work with a creative team of architects and consultants, together with a visionary client, that continues to resonate.
“When you’re fortunate to work on these projects, there’s an energy and drive from the start [the project was initiated in 2016] where everyone is striving for excellence,” adds Tonkin. | https://www.smh.com.au/property/living/theatrical-magic-walsh-bay-s-peerless-renovation-takes-out-top-award-20220818-p5bawc.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-08-19T14:26:29Z | https://www.smh.com.au/property/living/theatrical-magic-walsh-bay-s-peerless-renovation-takes-out-top-award-20220818-p5bawc.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | false | 5 |

KAJANG: The government plans to introduce a saving scheme for foreign workers in a move to address the problem of them not returning to their country of origin after the expiry of their 10-year temporary working visit pass (PLKS).
Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan said the issue of foreign workers over-staying or refusing to return to their country of origin after their PLKS expired was because they did not have savings.
“So this saving scheme needs to be implemented so that they have savings and the condition will include the savings can only be withdrawn in their country of origin after 10 years. So, like it or not, they will have to return home to claim their savings,“ he said.
He told this to reporters when met after said this to reporters after the programme “Diskusi Minda TV: Issue of Foreign Workers in Malaysia, What is the Solution?” organised by the National Council of Professors (MPN) here today.
However, Saravanan said the scheme may take time to be implemented as there were several matters that had to be looked into, including on the indicators of forced labour under the International Labour Organisation.
Another is on the ability of employers to meet the requirement, he added.
Meanwhile, he said that effective this Sept 1, the entry of foreign workers, including skilled workers, must be approved by the Department of Manpower.
Details on this new procedures will be announced next week after the Cabinet meeting, he said, adding that this followed amendments to the Employment Act 1955.-Bernama | https://www.thesundaily.my/home/saving-scheme-for-foreign-workers-to-ensure-they-return-home-after-10-years-saravanan-FX9642777 | 2022-08-19T14:32:21Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/home/saving-scheme-for-foreign-workers-to-ensure-they-return-home-after-10-years-saravanan-FX9642777 | true | 3 |

Argument escalates to deadly stabbing in Dayton, police say; Coroner IDs victim
DAYTON — A man is dead after police say he was stabbed to death during an argument at house in Dayton Sunday.
Crews received multiple calls about a fight at a house in the 800 block of Chelsea Avenue around 8 p.m.
In one 911 call obtained through a public records request, the caller tells dispatchers “someone needs an ambulance now” and they continually asked the dispatcher to please hurry.
In another 911 call a neighbor tells dispatchers “all they can hear is screaming” coming from the house and while they can’t see what is happening they said it sounded like someone was hurt.
When crews arrived on scene they found one man with a stab wound to the chest, Major Brian Johns commander of the investigations unit at Dayton Police Department said.
Johns said the victim, identified by Montgomery County Coroner’s office as Samuel Osborne, 40, of Springboro, later died at the hospital.
The suspect, who Johns said was 21 years old, was still on the scene when police arrived and arrested.
In an incident report, Eric Bridges is identified as the man arrested on the scene. Police have not named Bridges publicly as the suspect.
Bridges, 21, is booked at Montgomery County Jail on a murder a charge.
Johns said while police do not know what exactly the argument was over, police believe that the victim was visiting Bridge’s mother who lived at the house on Chelsea Avenue.
Johns said police are aware of ongoing arguments about the victim visiting Bridge’s mother.
Bridges next court date is set for Aug. 16.

Apple is directing users of most of its devices to update their software after the company discovered a vulnerability in its operating systems that it says “may have been actively exploited.”
In security updates posted online on Wednesday and Thursday, Apple said the vulnerability affects iPhones dating back to the 6S model, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad Air 2 and later, iPad mini 4 and later, all iPad Pro models and the 7th generation iPod touch.
Apple said the vulnerabilities give hackers the ability to take control of a device’s operating system to “execute arbitrary code” and potentially infiltrate devices through “maliciously crafted web content.”
The vulnerability also extends to Mac computers running the company’s Monterey OS as well as Apple’s Safari browser on its Big Sur and Catalina operating systems, the company said in a subsequent update.
Cybersecurity experts urged Apple users to update their devices, with the US government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warning that “an attacker could exploit one of these vulnerabilities to take control of an affected device.”
The agency said affected users should “apply the necessary updates as soon as possible.”

This year marks the centennial anniversary of F.W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu,” a long time for us humans but only a blip for vampires.
If you were looking to celebrate the birthday of that silent classic, which still casts a long and ominous shadow over all vampires films that have followed, you could do it with what’s perhaps its exact opposite: the new Netflix action-comedy “Day Shift,” with Jamie Foxx as a San Fernando Valley vampire hunter.
“Day Shift,” which begins streaming, Friday, has aims much closer to something like “Zombieland” than Murnau. Foxx plays Bud Jablonski, a working-class Los Angeles man and divorced father who cleans pools as a cover for his real job of hunting vampires. They seem to be especially populous in the San Fernando Valley, which may not be surprising to Californians but is about as far a departure you can get from the aristocratic, European origins of the genre. Plus, “What We Do in the Shadows” already has Staten Island covered.
“Day Shift” isn’t much interested in vampires, anyway. They’re mostly videogame-like cannon fodder for Bud, a veteran hunter who’s quite good at killing them but significantly worse at hiding his real occupation.
He’s living on his own after his wife (Meagan Good), suspicious of his excuses, kicked him out. Now, she’s ready to move, with their 10-year-old daughter (Zion Broadnax), far away from Los Angeles unless Bud can come up with $10,000 in a week for school tuition and braces.
But Bud is living fang to fang. He gets his money selling vampire teeth to what’s effectively a pawn shop. He drives a turquoise pick-up and lives, with locks up and down the door, in a seedy apartment complex that appalls his ex. She hears a porn star has just moved in. “They live amongst us,” Bud explains.
“Day Shift,” the directorial debut of former stuntman J.J. Perry and written by Tyler Tice and “Army of the Dead” scribe Shay Hatten, has placed a familiar tale — a down-and-out single father trying to prove his worth — into a vampire movie.
There’s also a labor commentary somewhere in here with Bud, kicked out of the vampire hunter union, trying to get back in to secure higher rates for his kills.
But the union subplot is less to drive home a free-market point than to supply Bud a buddy-comedy partner. After another hunter, Big John (Snoop Dogg), helps Bud get back into the union, a union rep (Dave Franco) is assigned to monitor and ride along with Bud.
As a suit-wearing, regulations sidekick terrified of vampires but thoroughly knowledgeable about them, Franco is a fine foil to Foxx.
There’s a this-is-barely-a-story feel to “Day Shift,” but not always unpleasantly so. The family plot line is as basic as it gets.
The buddy comedy set-up — complete with banter about the “Twilight” saga — is likewise standard boilerplate. “Day Shift” might slot in somewhere around an OK “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” episode.
Yet the slapdash vibe of “Day Shift” has its charms. It’s built almost perfectly to be the kind of thing you might, after some scrolling, absentmindedly click to watch on Netflix and end of watching for its sheer watchability.
That’s due largely to Foxx, whose comic timing remains sharp, and supporting players like Snoop and Peter Stormare who breeze in, as if purely for fun.
Thinly sketched as it is, “Day Shift” has a retro vibe. Not, like, “Nosferatu”-retro, but more 1980s. Want to see Jamie Foxx shoot some vampires? Well, you’re in luck.
“Day Shift” a Focus Features release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence and gore, and language. Running time: 114 minutes.

A pair of former Michelin Star chefs have worked wonders with a regular McDonald's meal, transforming it into a sumptuous gourmet feast. Content creator Danny Kim set chefs Kiran Saund and John Synder the challenge of crafting a luxurious meal using Maccies fast food, handing them his take-out bag, and they more than rose to the challenge.
Kiran and John told Danny, 26, from Maryland, US, they'd be whipping up a dish of hunters-style chicken and potato croquettes, kicking off by adding the iconic French fries to a hot pan with shallots, garlic, mirepoix, flour, sage, thyme, roasted chicken sauce, and milk.
The paste-like texture was then put onto a tray and placed in the fridge for five minutes. Pickles, shallots, spinach, and vinegar were then chucked into a pan and left to wilt into a tasty-looking relish.

It was then time for the sausage mixture, which involved combining pork, thyme, sage, shallots, garlic, and roasted chicken sauce, setting this in the fridge before taking out the now chilled croquette mix from earlier on. These were then shaped into balls and popped into the freezer to set.
The mirepoix was then made by frying carrots, onions, and celery together in a pan, before the chefs returned to the by-then wilted spinach relish, adding pecans before blending and putting in a piping bag.
One of the crispy chicken breasts from a McDonald's sandwich was chopped into small pieces, and added to the mirepoix, while the buns were toasted in the oven. The stock and chicken sauce was added to the pan before the buns were removed from the oven, ripped up, and blended. This fine crumb mixture was then added to the refrigerated sausage mix.
Pastry for the hunter’s chicken was rolled out, and topped with sausage and crispy chicken, which the chefs made sure to fully encase before brushing with egg and scoring, one hole cut in the top.
The croquette balls were dipped in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs and fried in hot oil until golden. The refrigerated hunter's chicken was baked, with the spinach relish spooned in to fill the top hole of the chicken.
Plating up the meal, the chefs halved the hunter’s chicken, creating a spinach relish ring, and filled this with the gravy and a potato croquette. Edible flowers were then added as a finishing flourish.
In a video that has clocked up more than 117,000 like and 1.1 million views on TikTok, one of the chefs can be heard saying: "Alright, so we just turned your McDonald's into a hunter’s-style chicken with a potato croquette and fried chicken sauce."
Danny, who goes by the username @dannygrubs, Kiran, and John then tuck into the revamped takeaway, awarding it a very satisfied two thumbs up and a 10/10.
A number of followers have been left keen to try the dish for themselves, with one person remarking that it looked "scrumdiddlyumptious."
Another wrote: "This might be the best one yet! Visually and as I look I feel like I can taste it."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators on Thursday issued a first-of-a-kind warning to the maker of nicotine gummies, saying the illegal candies pose a growing risk to teenagers and younger children.
The Food and Drug Administration said the fruit-flavored gummies from Florida manufacturer VPR Brands could cause nicotine poisoning or even death if eaten by small children. Regulators also cited recent research suggesting nicotine candies and similar products are becoming more popular among high school students.
“Nicotine gummies are a public health crisis just waiting to happen among our nation’s youth, particularly as we head into a new school year,” FDA Commissioner Robert Califf said in a statement.
In March, Congress passed a law granting the FDA authority over all forms of nicotine, regardless of whether from tobacco plants or manufactured in a laboratory. That closed a loophole in FDA’s oversight, which until then only included nicotine from plants.
Manufacturer VPR Brands markets its square-shaped gummies as containing “tobacco-free nicotine.” In recent years, many vaping companies have similarly claimed that they’ve switched to synthetic nicotine.
An employee at VPR Brands reached by phone Thursday declined to comment. The FDA’s warning letter gives the company 15 days to remove or address the violations. The agency said VPR Brands has not applied for permission to market the gummies. FDA warnings are not legally binding, but the agency can take companies to court if they are ignored.
The FDA has been working for years to reverse a rise in electronic cigarette use among U.S. teenagers, with mixed results. Last month the agency announced plans to ban e-cigarettes from Juul, only to put the order on hold after facing legal pushback from the popular vaping company.
A recent FDA-funded study found nicotine candies were the second-most popular tobacco product used by high school students in Southern California, behind only e-cigarettes. The FDA said Thursday’s action is the first warning to a maker of nicotine gummies.
The FDA has come under intense congressional pressure after announcing last month it would miss a deadline to remove thousands of unauthorized synthetic nicotine products from the market. The agency said it is working as quickly as possible to review nearly 1 million marketing applications it received from 200 companies.
The lack of action has sparked frustration from lawmakers, including Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, who called the delay “deeply disappointing and unacceptable,” in a letter last month.
FDA’s Califf subsequently announced plans for an outside review of FDA’s tobacco division, a rare step that followed recent criticism of the program.

Myanmar junta chief says military open to negotiations with Suu Kyi after her trial
Issued on: Modified:
Yangon (AFP) – Myanmar's military chief said Friday the junta is open to negotiations with ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi to end the crisis sparked by its coup after her trials in a junta-run court have concluded.
"After the legal processes against her according to the law are finished we are going to consider (negotiations) based on her response," Min Aung Hlaing said in a statement.
Suu Kyi, 77, has been detained since the generals toppled her government in a coup on February 1 last year, ending the Southeast Asian country's brief period of democracy.
She has so far been jailed for 17 years for a clutch of charges rights groups say are politically motivated.
Suu Kyi faces decades more in prison if convicted on a raft of other charges she is battling in a closed junta court.
Journalists have been barred from the proceedings, her lawyers gagged from speaking to the media and the junta has given no indication of when her trials might finish.
In July a junta spokesman told AFP it was "not impossible" that the regime would enter into dialogue with Suu Kyi to resolve the turmoil sparked by the military's power-grab last year.
"We cannot say that (negotiations with Suu Kyi) are impossible," Zaw Min Tun told AFP at the time.
Suu Kyi remains a revered figure locally for her courageous opposition to a previous junta, despite her international reputation suffering after she won the 2015 elections and governed in a power-sharing deal with the generals.
But for those currently embroiled in fighting with the military, many have said the movement must go further than what the Nobel laureate led decades ago.
Dissidents today say the goal now is to permanently root out military dominance from the country's politics and economy.
Stalled diplomacy
Diplomatic efforts by the 10-country bloc Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) -- of which Myanmar is a member -- have so far failed to halt the bloodshed.
Last year, the bloc agreed on a "five-point consensus", which calls for a cessation of violence and constructive dialogue, but the junta has largely ignored it.
This week UN special envoy Noeleen Heyzer made her first trip to the country since being appointed last year and met junta chief Min Aung Hlaing and other top military officials.
But she was denied a meeting with Suu Kyi, and rights groups said they had little optimism her visit would persuade the military to end its bloody crackdown and engage in dialogue with opponents of its coup.
More than 2,200 people have been killed and over 15,000 arrested in the military's crackdown on dissent since it seized power, according to a local monitoring group.

Bernard Kajic, an official with Croatia's public health service HZJZ, rejected media speculation that isolation rules for some Covid patients might be cancelled in a statement on Thursday.
State agency Hina cited Kajic as saying that HZJZ has not requested cancelling isolation for Covid patients displaying light symptoms, mainly because of Croatia’s low vaccination rate.
“The epidemiological situation and new protocols have been under discussion for over a week, but most colleagues are not in favour of easing protocols for patients with mild symptoms,” he told reporters after the national Covid-19 task force met with Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic.
Kajic said that the vaccination rate is too low among at-risk groups such as older people, and that the epidemiological situation could deteriorate, “regardless of the results in countries like Austria or Denmark.”
“Cancelling the mandatory seven-day isolation for patients with mild symptoms is just one of the options discussed,” he said, and recommended that people over 60, notably those with chronic health conditions and compromised immune systems, get a fourth vaccine dose. Kajic said there was no evidence suggesting that a fourth dose was beneficial for healthy people under 60.
Head of HZJZ, Krunoslav Capak, said that before issuing recommendations for people over 60 at risk of developing serious conditions and those over 80, it was necessary to wait for the European Medicines Agency to register vaccines against new variants. He joined Kajic in saying that Croatia’s low vaccination rate was the reason why the task force could not consider easing coronavirus rules.
Capak said the epidemiological situation in Croatia was better than during the surge of the Delta variant, given that Omicron is much milder and does not cause serious illness.
“The numbers have been stabilizing over the past two weeks. I think we are at the peak of the Omicron wave. We have fewer deaths, hospitalizations and patients on ventilators than at the peak of the Delta wave,” he said.
He said, however, that it was necessary to increase caution ahead of the new school year. | https://hr.n1info.com/english/news/covid-19-no-plans-to-ease-isolation-rules-yet-due-to-low-vaccination-rates/ | 2022-08-19T15:06:01Z | https://hr.n1info.com/english/news/covid-19-no-plans-to-ease-isolation-rules-yet-due-to-low-vaccination-rates/ | true | 1 |

Did Michael Douglas just have work done? One report says the Wall Street star recently went under the knife for some cosmetic help keeping up with his much younger wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones. Loads of tabloid stories prey on their age difference, and any story insulting someone’s look raises an eyebrow. Let us investigate.
‘Michael’s Mug Looks Younger’
According to the Globe, Douglas is getting himself de-wrinkled to keep up with Zeta-Jones. The two-time Academy Award winner supposedly fears he’ll be dumped if he doesn’t look younger. “She’s still so young and vibrant, it’s understandable he’s worried about losing her,” a spy reveals.

Friends are apparently talking about what kind of work Douglas might have done. “Michael’s got a spring in his step and looking way less wrinkled. He’s been hitting the gym too,” one insider says. A doctor who hasn’t treated Douglas believes he’s had Botox to soften his face. The tipster concludes that Zeta-Jones will love her husband no matter what, but she doesn’t mind having a younger suaver version of Douglas back.
How Is Michael Douglas Doing?
How would getting plastic surgery help Douglas keep up exactly? It’s not like getting Botox will suddenly give him more energy or exuberance. All it could do is clear some wrinkles up. The very premise of this article just doesn’t make sense.
Zero evidence is actually provided by Globe outside of so-called anonymous friends and doctors. Real pals of Douglas would never cruelly discuss his appearance to such a trashy outlet, and the doctor in this story has never treated Douglas. The devil’s in the details here, and the story is very careful to say Douglas may have had work done. This amounts to nothing but speculation.
As this story hit newsstands, Zeta-Jones posted a charming Instagram video of herself, Douglas, and their children all dancing together. It’s hard to tell if Douglas had life-changing work done because of the lighting, but if he did, it must have been really subtle. What is obvious is how close everyone is. These two definitely are not breaking up over his lack of energy.
Age Is A Frequent Target
There are tons of possible ways you could bogusly target the marriage of Douglas and Zeta-Jones, yet tabloids constantly tell the same old story: Zeta-Jones is too young for the marriage to last. She’s been debunking this rumor since 2001. She was totally unbothered when they got together, so why would she care now that they’ve spent over 20 years together?
The Globe has beat this drum too many times to count. Just last month, it claimed Douglas couldn’t keep up while Zeta-Jones was just as active as ever. One year ago, Zeta-Jones was supposedly begging Douglas to stop getting plastic surgery. Once again, it painted Douglas as extremely self-conscious about his age. If the age difference was going to break up Douglas and Zeta-Jones, then surely it would have happened by now. They’re doing just fine, and he looks the same as he has for years, so this story is totally false. | https://www.suggest.com/michael-douglas-catherine-zeta-jones-source-get-plastic-surgery-keep-up/2668907/ | 2022-08-19T15:09:56Z | https://www.suggest.com/michael-douglas-catherine-zeta-jones-source-get-plastic-surgery-keep-up/2668907/ | false | 1 |

Oleksandr Usyk lost 10kg in just one week after Russia invaded Ukraine
OLEKSANDR USYK, who will defend his boxing titles against Anthony Joshua on Saturday, lost 10kg in one week after Vladimir Putin launched his full-on invasion of Ukraine, according to his wife, who claimed the fighter was "torn apart" by the war.
Anthony Joshua previews his fight with Oleksandr Usyk
Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua will go head-to-head in the ring on Saturday as the two heavyweights battle it out for the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO titles. The rematch comes 11 months after the pair’s initial clash, which saw Joshua lose by unanimous decision and Usyk take the belts in the Watford-born boxer’s backyard. Now, Joshua is seeking to regain the titles for the second time in his career as he takes on the unbeaten Ukrainian.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest Ukrainian boxers of all time, Usyk has gradually risen up the ranks to become one of only three boxers to have unified the cruiserweight division and become a world heavyweight champion.
Usyk, who is also called Sasha, was born in the Crimean city of Simferopol but now lives with his family in Kyiv.
Back in April, he was stripped of his Crimean honours after he enrolled in the Ukraine territorial army.
Months earlier, he had returned to his home country, having been visiting London for a football game, to sign up with the Kyiv Territorial Defense after Russia carried out a full-blown invasion.
READ MORE: What Anthony Joshua has been telling his team about Oleksandr Usyk rematch
The boxer was so crushed by the devastating news that Vladimir Putin had led an invasion of Ukraine that he lost 10kg in a week.
Usyk's wife has claimed he dropped one-and-a-half stone in seven days after Putin pursued his war on Ukraine on February 24.
Kateryna, who has been married to Usyk for almost 13 years, told PravdaTUT: “Sasha lost 10 kilograms in a week of the war. He was so horrified, in such shock, he was so torn apart.
“He saw what I was doing. I said: 'Sasha, please, people are asking, you need to speak, somehow support'.
“It is very difficult for him. At first he digested it inside. Well, firstly, let’s be honest, we have never been in such a situation before.
“Our entire generation could never have imagined this. And here it is, a shock.
"To be honest, he doesn’t really like giving interviews in normal, peacetime anyway. Now it’s difficult for him, of course, but he still goes on the air, says something."
She continued: "His position is clear. He has always been for Ukraine, he has always glorified it and will glorify it for as long as he has enough health and strength.
“Now he understands how important for him, let’s say, even the next fight.

Joshua 'hasn't been happy' with Garcia in build-up to Usyk fight
“For him, every fight is important, but now, when blood is shed in your country, you want to glorify Ukraine, you want to be proud of it.
“I’m just so proud that I’m from Ukraine, that I’m Ukrainian! Thank God that this happened.”
Usyk, 35, put his career on hold to fly back to his home nation and join the Ukrainian army.
He was one of the athletes, which included the Ukraine national football team who took part in World Cup qualifiers abroad, who were ultimately granted special dispensation to leave Ukraine.
The heavyweight was initially training in Poland but has also been pictured sparring in Dubai.
He will return to the ring for the first time since the invasion began when he fights Joshua in Jeddah.
When asked previously about the situation in Ukraine, Usyk said: “"My friends — people close to me — have died in the war," dismissing a suggestion that it would give him extra motivation to beat Joshua again.
He continued: "When so many people are suffering, I don't have any idea how it can influence anything positively.
"I was there for one month: I saw with my own eyes what happened there, rockets flying and fighter jets flying. It's horrible.
"Every day I was there, I was praying and asking: 'Please, God, don't let anybody try to kill me. Please don't let anybody shoot me. And please don't make me shoot any other person.'
"I really didn't want to leave our country. I didn't want to leave our city. At one point, I went to the hospital where soldiers were wounded and getting rehabilitation and they asked me to go, to fight [Joshua] for the country.
"They said: 'If you go there, you're going to help our country even more instead of fighting inside Ukraine.'" | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/boxing/1657633/oleksandr-usyk-ukraine-war-vladimir-putin-anthony-joshua-spt | 2022-08-19T15:13:29Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/boxing/1657633/oleksandr-usyk-ukraine-war-vladimir-putin-anthony-joshua-spt | true | 1 |
Russia rejects calls to move troops away from Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant
CommentsRussia has rejected calls to demilitarise the area around Europe's largest nuclear power plant.
That's despite warnings from the United Nations of a nuclear disaster at Zaporizhzhia, which was captured by Russian troops earlier in the war.
Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of shelling the area near the plant and sparking fears of a nuclear catastrophe.
Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has demanded that Russian troops leave the plant and a team from the International Atomic Energy Agency be allowed in.
But Russia has pushed back against claims that it is endangering the safety of the plant.
Nikolai Patrushev, the secretary of Russia’s Security Council, said that “in [the] case of a technological disaster, its consequences will be felt in every corner of the world. Washington, London and their accomplices will bear full responsibility for that.” | https://www.euronews.com/2022/08/19/russia-rejects-calls-to-move-troops-away-from-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant | 2022-08-19T15:14:29Z | https://www.euronews.com/2022/08/19/russia-rejects-calls-to-move-troops-away-from-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant | true | null |

Pressure mounts on Finnish premier after video of her partying
Pressure mounts on Finnish premier after video of her partying

Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin speaks with the media as she arrives for an EU summit in Brussels, Thursday, June 23, 2022. (AP File Photo)
Criticism is mounting in Finland of Prime Minister Sanna Marin after a video of her dancing and celebrating at a party was widely shared on social media.
She was back from her holidays at the time the video was made, according to a report by the STT news agency. "This means that there was no substitute to take over her duties," the report said.
Marin has not yet stated exactly when the party took place.
The video showed Marin, 36, dancing with some celebrity friends at a private residence before visiting two bars.
The images have divided the nation, unleashing a debate about her appearance in public.
After the video was leaked, Marin said on Thursday that she had drunk alcohol but had not taken any drugs, and emphasized her right to spend her free time in the same way others her age do.
"I want to show that it's ordinary people with ordinary lives who do jobs like this," she said. "I didn't take drugs or consume anything except alcohol. I danced, sang and partied - completely legal things."
Some have called for her to take a drug test while others have come out in support of Marin. | https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/08/19/pressure-mounts-on-finnish-premier-after-video-of-her-partying | 2022-08-19T15:23:41Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/08/19/pressure-mounts-on-finnish-premier-after-video-of-her-partying | true | 1 |
Rail unions have reacted furiously to a warning by the Transport Secretary that changes employers are seeking, which are at the heart of the current train strikes, could be imposed.
Grant Shapps said he would have to enact legislation referred to as a “section 188” to force through some of the measures.
He told Sky News: “What I do know and I can say for sure is if we can’t get this settled in the way that we are proposing, which is, ‘Please put the deal to your membership’, then we will have to move to what is called a section 188; it is a process of actually requiring these changes to go into place so it becomes mandated.
“That is the direction that this is moving in now.”
The Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA), whose members were on strike on Thursday and will walk out again on Saturday, accused the Transport Secretary of “advocating fire-and-rehire” tactics.
The union said Section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act is a duty requiring employers to consult trade union representatives, but is not a mechanism for imposing unilateral change.
Such notice for compulsory redundancies has already been issued by Network Rail with its proposal to cut up to 1,900 jobs from the industry, said the TSSA, adding that it was not “reform” but “cuts”.
“Many of the changes being proposed require big changes to people’s contracts of employment including rosters, more night shifts and working practices. These require agreement between unions and the employer. This is another reason we are on strike,” said a spokesman.
“Grant Shapps has not attended any talks with trade unions during the months-long dispute, despite repeated calls for him to come to the table or allow employers to negotiate freely without his and his department’s interference.”
Manuel Cortes, TSSA general secretary, said: “This is yet more desperate stuff from Shapps intended to distract from the real issues in the rail dispute. He’s now actively advocating fire and rehire.
“Grant Shapps is touring TV studios spouting anti-worker nonsense when it’s actually within his gift as Transport Secretary to resolve this dispute.
“At every turn his actions ramp up the dispute and make it harder to get a resolution. It seems clear that he wants negotiations to fail. Any responsible government or employer would understand the devastating impact of their policies on the railway workforce and seek to negotiate with their Unions to find a fair and just way forward.
“Tightening the screw on trade unions won’t resolve the Tory cost-of-living crisis and the desperate calls from people across our country for a pay rise after years of pay freezes.”
Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union general secretary Mick Lynch said: “Mr Shapps has no authority to issue Section 188 notifications as he is not the legal employer but now seems intent on forcing through fire and re-hire on rail workers despite previously claiming that he had nothing to do with negotiations between the employers and the unions.
“Despite his denials Mr Shapps has clearly been dictating how the train companies should conduct negotiations with RMT and now he’s ordering them to fire and re-hire workers.
“The minister also appears to be increasingly desperate and out-of-touch making wild claims about train services between London and Manchester without having a clue what is actually happening.
“Instead of threatening to cut thousands of safety critical jobs, introducing driver-only trains, closing ticket offices, bailing out the private rail companies as well as bringing in more anti-union laws, the Government and the employers should enter meaningful negotiations with RMT.” | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/08/19/rail-union-fury-at-threat-to-impose-changes/ | 2022-08-19T15:27:10Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/08/19/rail-union-fury-at-threat-to-impose-changes/ | true | 14 |
Exclusive: Fish dinner gets the thumbs up from Boris! Generous outgoing PM leaves 50 Euro tip after he and wife Carrie, toddler Wilfred and baby Romy enjoy slap-up meal of fresh calamari with pals at beachside restaurant on holiday in Greece
- Boris Johnson was joined by pals for dinner during a week long break in Greece
- The outgoing PM was spotted with wife Carrie, 34, and children Wilfred, two and their baby daughter Romy and stopped to take pictures with members of staff
- Johnson family have been staying in a villa and have been spotted at various beaches and restaurants along coast close to PM’s father Stanley house at Horto
Generous Boris Johnson left a 50 Euro tip after enjoying a slap up fish dinner at a Greek beachside restaurant while on holiday with his wife and children.
The outgoing PM and Carrie, 34, plus children Wilfred, two and baby Romy, were joined by pals for the dinner which came as they wound up their week long break in the sunshine.
Mr Johnson also took time out to pose with two Ukrainian staff who worked at the restaurant where he ate and assured them Britain would back them all the way in the fight against Russian invaders – giving his trademark thumbs up to the camera.
The nine strong party – including security – turned up just before 9.30pm on Thursday night at the Agalma Seaside restaurant on Bouros Beach, near Karystos.

The Johnson family have been staying in a villa nearby and have been spotted all week at various beaches and restaurants along the coast which is just a couple of hours drive from where the PM’s father Stanley has a house at Horto.
Agalma owner Alexandros Fragos told MailOnline:’ I knew Boris and his family were staying in the area as it has been the talk of the village all week and on Thursday we got a call saying he was coming for dinner.
‘To be honest I wasn’t too sure what to expect but he came across as a very kind man and he was very nice. He spoke to all the staff and he even left a 50 Euro tip which they were all very happy with.
‘He came into the kitchen where he spoke with two Ukrainian staff I have, Zak and Katya, and he told them it was important that Britain and the rest of Europe supported Ukraine in the fight against Russia.
‘He and his party were here for about two and a half hours. They tried lots of typical Greek dishes, and enjoyed fresh calamari and fish caught by the local fishermen.
‘Lots of people were in the restaurant and they all recognised him and he was happy to talk and pose for pictures with them. I couldn’t believe how friendly he was. The staff were delighted with the tip.’

In 2011 former PM David Cameron got into hot water while on holiday in Italy after paying for two coffees which came to 3.10 Euro with a 50 Euro note and failing to leave any small change as a gratuity.
Mr Johnson and his family arrived in Greece via Athens last weekend and are expected to return to London – which has been crippled by public transport strikes – in the next 48 hours.
As he travelled to his holiday villa, Mr Johnson was pictured stopping off in the town of Nea Makri, where he picked up supplies at a local supermarket before being driven off in an SUV.
He was seen smiling to locals and the packing his shopping up, with Carrie in the background, and their break comes just days after they returned from a week long stay at Vila Planinka, in the remote mountains of Slovenia.
The resort, situated in a valley near the village of Jezersko, is 30 minutes from the capital Ljubljana and promised a ‘soothing balance of energies’ and where guests can also dine on bear prosciutto.

Labour has accused Mr Johnson of ‘laughing’ at people back home who are struggling with a huge cost-of-living crunch, branding him a ‘lame duck’ with just weeks until he is replaced by either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak.
Opposition leader Kier Starmer – just back from holiday himself – had tried to capitalise on the sense of drift in government by unveiling plans to freeze energy bills for at least six months.
Earlier this week removal vans were seen outside Downing Street, with aides confirming that work was ongoing for the ‘transition’ to the next PM.
Mr Johnson is allowed to take away any furnishings he paid for himself as part of a controversial revamp of his official residence and he and Carrie are said to be house hunting in the south east London suburb of Dulwich. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11127483/Generous-outgoing-PM-leaves-50-Euro-tip-family-enjoy-slap-meal-Greece.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-19T15:29:19Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11127483/Generous-outgoing-PM-leaves-50-Euro-tip-family-enjoy-slap-meal-Greece.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 3 |
Brad Pitt continues to look forward to the opportunities to help his community as he recently reached a settlement in the dispute with New Orleans homeowners over defective post-Katrina houses.
The Bullet Train star and his Make It Right Foundation have reached a $20.5 million settlement with 107 New Orleans residents, who sued the actor over building defective homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2018.
The preliminary settlement, which still requires approval by a judge, will be funded by Global Green, an environmental nonprofit, has agreed to cover the settlement.
In the program, residents will be entitled to a $25,000 reimbursement for repairs to their homes, while the remainder of the funds will be split between them based on the state of their houses.
“I am incredibly grateful for Global Green’s willingness to step up and provide this important support for the Lower Ninth families,” said the Fight Club star in a statement Thursday.
“We collaborated in the early days post-Katrina and we are very fortunate to have Global Green’s generous continuing commitment to help address the challenges around these homes and others in need. Hopefully this agreement will allow everyone to look ahead to other opportunities to continue to strengthen this proud community in the future,” he added.

City transfer business 'apparently' done - Guardiola
- Published
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he does not expect to do any more business in this summer's transfer window.
City made Sergio Gomez their fifth summer arrival earlier this week, with the Anderlecht left-back following Julian Alvarez, Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips and Stefan Ortega to Etihad Stadium.
Asked if their business was done with less than two weeks left of the window, Guardiola said: “Apparently yes. But if someone moves or there is a problem we don’t expect maybe it happens, but apparently it is done.”
Guardiola hopes not to lose any players from his squad and reiterated his desire to keep Bernardo Silva, with the Portuguese playmaker reportedly keen on a move, amid interest from Paris St-Germain and Barcelona.
“He is our player and he knows our wishes as a club, me as a manager, his mates,” said the Spaniard.
“What is going to happen I don’t know. I’ve said many times I don’t know (if he will stay).”
Victory at Newcastle on Sunday could extend City's early-season cushion over Liverpool to seven points, ahead of the Reds' trip to Manchester United on Monday, but Guardiola dismissed talk of advantages when asked if four points was a big gap given the sides’ rivalry in recent seasons.
“Yeah, a lot, just 111 points to play!" he replied. “It is just two Premier League games. It is a process to get our game better, we are still in a process like pre-season." | https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/c4nwj4ppd3zo | 2022-08-19T15:33:57Z | https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/c4nwj4ppd3zo | true | 2 |
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A 81-year-old Danish woman traveling from Africa to Canada was arrested at Warsaw airport on suspicion of illegal possession of heroin worth over $515,000, officials in Poland said Friday.
Customs officers at Frederic Chopin airport decided to check the woman’s luggage Sunday as she was transiting after becoming suspicious of her itinerary and uneasy behavior.
Packages with five kilograms (11 pounds) of heroin were discovered under a false suitcase bottom.
The woman, traveling from Malawi and Kenya through Doha and Warsaw, denied any wrongdoing and said family members had given her the suitcase with gifts for relatives in Canada, according to Aleksandra Skrzyniarz, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office in Warsaw.
She was detained for three months and prosecutors have opened an investigation. Under Polish law, she faces up to 15 years in prison for illegal possession of narcotics. | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/weird-news/poland-nabs-octogenarian-with-5-kilos-of-heroin-in-suitcase/ | 2022-08-19T15:37:46Z | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/weird-news/poland-nabs-octogenarian-with-5-kilos-of-heroin-in-suitcase/ | false | 35 |

(The Hill) – Former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner in his new memoir offers few details about former President Trump’s battle with COVID-19 in 2020, but he did pinpoint a moment when he knew his father-in-law was on the mend.
“I knew he was feeling better when he requested one of his favorite meals: a McDonald’s Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, fries and a vanilla shake,” Kushner wrote in “Breaking History,” due out Tuesday.
In the book, an advanced copy of which was obtained by The Hill, Kushner does not offer many insights into how serious Trump’s condition was when he contracted the virus in the home stretch of the 2020 campaign, before any COVID-19 vaccines had been authorized.
He mentions then-chief of staff Mark Meadows saying he was “nervous” about Trump’s diagnosis, but otherwise just recounts encouraging Trump to go to Walter Reed Medical Center, which could offer better treatment than remaining at the White House.
“As the president recovered at Walter Reed, we all recognized that the campaign would have to wait until Trump was both physically strong and medically cleared to return to the trail,” Kushner wrote. “In the meantime, he spoke directly to Americans through social media to update them on his recovery.”
Trump contracted the virus days after his first debate with now-President Biden in Cleveland. The White House at the time did not disclose whether he complied with the venue’s testing requirement for both candidates.
Meadows was caught days later attempting to brief reporters anonymously about Trump’s condition at Walter Reed, expressing concern about his oxygen levels. At one point, Trump left isolation in the hospital to take a ride around the block with Secret Service so he could wave at supporters gathered near the hospital.
Kushner himself tested positive for the virus in November 2020, a short time after the election. He attributes the fact that he missed much of the discussion over how to handle fraud claims to his absence while in isolation. | https://www.wnct.com/news/national/kushner-knew-trump-felt-better-after-covid-19-when-he-asked-for-mcdonalds/ | 2022-08-19T15:48:05Z | https://www.wnct.com/news/national/kushner-knew-trump-felt-better-after-covid-19-when-he-asked-for-mcdonalds/ | true | 21 |

South Africa Finance Chief Godongwana to Maintain Duties Amid Assault Complaint
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- South African Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana plans to continue exercising his duties, after the police informed him that a criminal complaint of sexual assault has been made against him.
Godongwana reiterated his denial of the allegation in a statement Thursday. He also denied an additional assertion that he attempted to silence the complainant by bribing her.
“While I serve as minister of finance at the privilege of President Cyril Ramaphosa, I wish to state that I personally intend on continuing with executing my duties by focusing on the critical tasks of revitalizing our economy and protecting the fiscus,” Godongwana said.
Godongwana, who was named finance chief in August last year, has been accused of sexual harassment by an employee at the Kruger National Park who was offering massage services to guests in their rooms. The minister’s office issued a statement denying the allegation on Aug. 13, a stance that he reiterated to the police.
“I repeated my previous assertion, that I in no way or at any time inappropriately touched, sexually harassed, or assaulted anyone,” he said.

Alex Wagner ready to take over most of Maddow hour on MSNBC
NEW YORK — (AP) — Alex Wagner knows her new prime-time perch on MSNBC is an unorthodox arrangement. But she's determined to make the most of it.
On Tuesday, she takes over the prized 9 p.m. Eastern weeknight time slot that MSNBC's star anchor Rachel Maddow has held. Maddow will still helm the time slot on Monday nights, and the rest of the week will be devoted to “Alex Wagner Tonight.”
It's part of Maddow's new deal with NBC News that keeps her with the network to produce things like podcasts and books, while stepping away from the daily grind of a show that began in 2008.
“A lot of people watch Rachel Maddow,” Wagner said, “and hopefully many of those same people will come out and watch the rest of the week.”
Wagner had her own daytime show at MSNBC in the early 2010s. She left the network when that ended in 2015, worked at CBS News and was in the cast of Showtime's political show “The Circus” for four seasons. She rejoined MSNBC in February and, four months later, network President Rashida Jones selected her for the prime-time job.
At the start, Wagner is working with much of Maddow's staff. She said she hopes Maddow will appear on “Alex Wagner Tonight” if there's a topic she's an expert on, and vice versa. She takes inspiration from Maddow's investigative rigor. Don't expect lengthy, complex opening monologues, though.
“Rachel is incomparable and woe to anybody who tries to duplicate what she does,” Wagner said. “Because that’s an impossibility. I would never try.”
Wagner spoke by telephone last week from Florida, itself a hint of one way she plans to make the hour her own. She was there on a reporting mission, the details of which she promised would become clear this week, part of her plan to bring more out-of-studio stories to the mix. Her work on “The Circus” taught her the value of getting out of the studio to report, she said.
The one-time editor of The Fader, a music magazine, also hopes for an expanded focus beyond the politics that dominates cable talk shows much of the time.
"We're always going to make sure our audience understands what's happening in the world and our country that day, but I hope that we can widen the lens a little bit in terms of voices and, to some degree, stories that we cover,” she said.
By getting Wagner's show started now, MSNBC has beaten CNN in settling on its future plans for the time slot. CNN still hasn't named a permanent successor to Chris Cuomo at 9 p.m., since he was fired last December.
July's ratings lay out the challenge before Wagner. Maddow reached an average of 2.4 million viewers on Mondays last month, the Nielsen company said. For the other four weeknights, MSNBC averaged 1.4 million in the time slot.
Expecting Wagner to quickly achieve the same numbers as MSNBC's favorite personality is unfair. How close she needs to come, and how much time she'll be given are questions only MSNBC executives can answer. Jones was not made available for an interview.
“They hope that they'll be able to turn her into a star,” said Mark Feldstein, professor of broadcasting at the University of Maryland. “This is a big void with Rachel stepping back, and Wagner has the star power to do it. It's kind of surprising to me that she isn't one already, since she's smart and very good on television.”
For MSNBC, there's no motivation in raising expectations too high, he said.
The show will be an evolution, Wagner said, “and I'm lucky enough to have the support of NBC as we try and evolve the hour to something that is reflective of my strengths as a journalist.”
Before Wagner was given the job, there was speculation on whether MSNBC was considering bringing back Keith Olbermann, whose “Countdown” show was a hit on the network in the 2000s.
Olbermann revealed a series of email messages over two years between him and Jeff Shell, CEO of NBCUniversal, about that possibility. Depending on how you read the messages, Shell was either expressing genuine interest in the idea or stringing Olbermann along.
Olbermann said he believes the former, and that he wasted two years considering the possibility. This summer, he began a nightly “Countdown” podcast on Apple.
“If Jeff Shell was really not interested, he should have said so,” Olbermann said. “I would have taken no offense.”
MSNBC, through a spokesperson, said there was never any serious consideration of Olbermann returning.
For her part, Wagner said the time couldn't be more urgent to have a prime-time platform discussing the news.
“I couldn't be more excited,” she said. “I also feel incredibly lucky. And I'm going to work really hard to live up to the privilege of being able to anchor the 9 p.m. hour.”

Couples are swapping out natural diamonds in rings for larger, cheaper lab-made ones
By Parija Kavilanz, CNN Business
Lab-grown diamonds have become so popular with consumers that some couples are asking jewelers to swap the natural diamond in their rings for a lab-created sparkler.
“Just last week we had three or four couples who’ve been married for a few years come to us to upgrade the diamond on the engagement ring,” said Joel Klein, CEO of NY-based Ritani, an online seller of diamonds and fine jewelry, including engagement rings.
Each couple wanted to replace the natural diamond in their rings with something bigger, opting for a lab-created diamond, he said.
“It’s not that we are seeing a decline in the natural diamonds business, but that growth in demand for lab diamonds is super strong,” said Klein.
Ritani, which handled over 20,000 orders for engagement rings last year, deals in both natural and lab diamonds. The company maintains an inventory of over 300,000 diamonds for sale, a third of them lab diamonds. Jewelry made with lab diamonds currently now account for more than 50% of Ritani’s sales,Klein said.
Several factors are fueling surging demand for man-made diamonds, industry experts say.
Man-made diamonds look exactly the same as naturally occurring ones — the only difference is the price tag. Lab diamonds cost significantly less for a much larger stone than a mined diamond of the same size, and they appeal to the eco-conscious and ethical sensibilities particularly of Millennials and Gen Zers.
Juliet Gomes, Ritani’s customer service manager, has recently helped couples upgrade to a bigger lab diamond. “If the original ring features a one carat natural diamond, now they’re replacing it for a three or four carat lab-grown option for the same price or less than that original one carat original,” she said.
Ritani offers its customers the option to trade their natural gem for a credit towards the upgraded stone. While some choose to swap their natural diamond for a lab-created one, others turn their original stone into another piece of jewelry, like a pendant, said Klein.
Lindsay Reinsmith, co-founder of San Francisco-based lab diamonds jeweler Ada Diamonds, said she, too, frequently sees clients who are upgrading from a mined diamond to a lab diamond in their rings.
“Not only is this a common occurrence, but we’re also seeing a significant increase in clients coming to us for a lab diamond who are getting married a second time,” she said. “They may have had a mined diamond for their first marriage, but they opt for lab grown for their second.”
Not all customers who upgrade are focused only on switching to a larger sized stone. “They are also looking at the quality of the lab diamond and want it to have some element of sophistication to it,” Reinsmith said.
First-time buyers of engagement rings are also showing a strong preference for lab grown stones.
July data showed the number of engagement rings sold that featured a manufactured diamond jumped 52% compared to last year. Meanwhile, the number of engagement rings sold with a natural diamond declined 28% in the same period.
“Consumers want to maximize their budget, they want to spend as much and get a bigger diamond with a better color and clarity.”, said Edahn Golan, an industry analyst and founder of Edahn Golan Diamond Research & Data.
The average total carat weight of a lab-grown diamond for an engagement ring in the US is 1.42 carat, priced at about $3,800. That compares to an average total carat weight of 0.81 carat for a natural diamond, priced at about $4,209, said Golan.
“It’s a significant difference in size that is visible to the eye and for less price,” he said.
In further evidence demonstrating the acceptance of man-made diamonds, Pandora, the world’s largest jewelry brand, on Tuesday announced it was launching lab-created diamond jewelry in the U.S. and Canada on Aug. 25th.
Its 33-piece collection, called Pandora Brilliance, includes rings, bangles, necklaces and earrings featuring a solitary lab-created diamond set within sterling silver, 14K yellow gold or 14K white gold.
“Lab-created diamonds are just as beautiful as mined diamonds, but available to more people and with lower carbon emissions. We are proud to broaden the diamond market and offer innovative jewelery that sets a new standard for how the industry can reduce its impact on the planet,” Pandora CEO Alexander Lacik, said in a statement.

Google Patches Chrome’s Fifth Zero-Day of the Year
Google has patched an insufficient validation input flaw along with 11 other security vulnerabilities. The flaw allows for arbitrary code execution and is currently under active attack, according to Google. This marks the fifth zero-day vulnerability discovered and subsequently patched in Chrome this year. The patch was released on Wednesday of this week in a stable channel update. The bug is tracked as CVE-2022-2856 and is ranked as high severity on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System.
Google posted an advisory addressing the security bug around the time it was patched. The advisory confirms that the flaw is associated with insufficient validation of input. Google has credited security researchers working for its Threat Analysis Group with finding and reporting the zero-day bug. The vulnerability could lead to arbitrary code execution, says Google. Insufficient validation flaws are associated with a failing technique for checking potentially dangerous inputs. The flaw means that an attacker could craft the input in a form that is unexpected, which will lead to altered control flow, arbitrary control of resource, or arbitrary code execution, says Google.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A disbarred South Carolina attorney charged with killing his wife and son has been indicted on another round of financial crimes.
This time, prosecutors said Alex Murdaugh stole nearly $420,000 from the law firm founded by his prominent legal family a century ago.
Murdaugh, 54, faces nine additional charges — four counts of obtaining property under false pretenses, three counts of money laundering and two counts of computer crimes — in indictments handed up by the State Grand Jury on Tuesday and released publicly Friday.
Murdaugh is in jail set likely to stand trial in January on murder charges for the June 2021 shooting deaths of his wife Maggie, 52, and their 22-year-old son, Paul. They were killed with different guns outside one of the family's homes in Colleton County, investigators said.
In all, Murdaugh faces about 90 charges. Most of them are financial crimes with prosecutors saying he stole at least $8.5 million from settlements he got for about a dozen poorer clients in injury or wrongful death cases.
But authorities said he also laundered money through a drug ring and by writing 437 checks worth $2.4 million to associates and others to avoid bank reporting requirements. Murdaugh tried to get a man to kill him so his surviving son could collect a $10 million life insurance policy, investigators said.
If convicted of the murder charges, Murdaugh faces 30 years to life in prison without parole. The crime is also eligible for the death penalty, but prosecutors haven't indicated if they will seek it. The dozens of other charges combined carry up to hundreds of years behind bars.
In the latest round of indictments, prosecutors said Murdaugh took money from the PMPED law firm founded by his family more than 100 years ago and turned into a legal giant, winning millions of dollars of verdicts in tiny Hampton County.
Some attorneys would loan the firm money at the start of a year to pay expenses and then get paid back once regular revenue came in. Murdaugh didn't participate, but the firm accidentally wrote him a $121,000 loan repayment check that was supposed to go to his brother, according to one indictment.
Murdaugh pointed out the mistake, said the check was supposed to go to him and had another one issued. He then cashed both checks, prosecutors said.
Murdaugh also took about $175,000 in settlements that were supposed to go to the law firm, according to a second indictment.
The money laundering and computer crime charges came because Murdaugh hid the money from banking regulations through smaller online transfers and checks written to himself and others, investigators said.
Through his attorneys, Murdaugh has adamantly denied killing his wife and son. His lawyers have said he also plans to right every financial wrong he can.
Along with the family's massive civil law firm, Murdaugh's father, grandfather and great-grandfather were the elected prosecutors in Hampton County and four surrounding counties for more than eight decades.

Danny Meyer and USHG Acquisition Corp. to Resume Active Search for Category-leading Business that Embraces Enlightened Hospitality
USHG Acquisition Corp. HUGS ("HUGS"), a company sponsored by an affiliate of Union Square Hospitality Group, LLC, a leading hospitality business, and Panera Brands Inc. ("Panera") announced today that, due to deteriorating capital market conditions, the parties have decided not to extend their previously announced agreement through which HUGS would have participated alongside the Panera Brands' initial public offering.
Danny Meyer, Chairman of HUGS and founder of Union Square Hospitality Group said, "Based on current capital market conditions, it is unlikely that an initial public offering for Panera will happen in the near-term, and so we have agreed not to extend our partnership beyond its existing June 30 expiration date. We are disappointed that market timing was not on our side, especially as we have such tremendous admiration and respect for Panera, its entire management team and their partners at JAB." Mr. Meyer continued, "HUGS will now focus on searching for another partner that embodies the values consistent with HUGS and our Enlightened Hospitality roots, demonstrating that shareholder success is both dependent on and driven by an employee-first stakeholder culture."
Adam Sokoloff, Chief Executive Officer of HUGS said, "HUGS was proud to co-create a unique structure that provided substantial benefits and significant optionality to our shareholders. As we begin our search for a new partner, we will use our broad business network and strategic operating experience to engage with market-leading companies led by forward-thinking management teams. We are open to exploring a variety of creative structures that maximize long-term value for all stakeholders."

India esports athletes body EPWA has urged the Tamil Nadu government to recognise skill games as a distinct sport and not club it along with gambling and provide safe harbour for professional players, a senior official of the entity said on Friday.
"We have sent representation to the state government on August 13. We have requested the Tamil Nadu government to recognise skill games as a distinct sport and not club it along with gambling and provide safe harbour for professional players," Esports Players Welfare Association (EPWA) Director Shivani Jha told PTI.
The Madras High Court had in August last year struck down a recent amendment made to the Tamil Nadu Gaming Act, passed in 1930, which imposed a ban on online gaming of rummy and poker with stakes.
The bench declared, Part II of the TN Gaming & Police Laws (Amendment) Act, 2021, as unconstitutional which banned betting or wagering in cyberspace and also games of skill if played for a wager, bet, money or other stakes.
The bench, however, granted liberty to the state to pass another legislation, without any lacunae.
Tamil Nadu has now set up a committee under the chairmanship of retired Justice K Chandru for advising on enacting fresh legislation on online games.
The state government has invited inputs from various stakeholders for new legislation.
Chess Grandmaster Ankit Rajpara in support of online gamers sought the intervention of the central government in the ban imposed by states.
"In the past, the central government has given comfort to players in stakeholder meetings that we will not be treated as criminals, however, state governments continue to do the opposite," Rajpara said.
Jha said multiple legislations and putting skill-based games in the same bucket as gambling is leading to the criminalisation of skill-based players.
"While India is participating in international tournaments and developers are making new games, it is imperative for the state to regulate online skill-based gaming. Moreover, courts have repeatedly pronounced judgments stating the state government can only make laws on online gambling and not gaming, this ends up putting players at risk and equating them with gamblers and criminals," she said.

VIRGINIA BEACH — It’s war! A sign war, that is.
The war of words started Aug. 9 when Dave Butt, general manager of Cinema Cafe in Pembroke Meadows Shopping Center in Virginia Beach, challenged his longtime friend and fellow business owner, Brandon Stokes, owner of Haygood Skating Center. Stokes, better known as longtime Z104 radio personality Shaggy, said with the slow season just around the corner, they both thought it would be an entertaining thing to do.
“We set a few little ground rules that it would be in good fun and we’d keep it tongue-in-cheek,” Butt said.
Neither realized the tussle would spread like wildfire. With Stokes’ popularity in the community, many of the signs call him out directly.
More than 75 businesses are now in the game, including:
• Fuddruckers: “Hey Haygood sounds like y’all want beef.”
• Hooters: “Hey Shaggy don’t be chicken let’s spice up this sign war.”
• Chicho’s: “Hey Shaggy we’re the real local’s favorite.”
• Chick-fil-A: “Though we only sell chikin, we want all the beef! Shaggy!”
• and Haygood United Methodist Church: “Hey Shaggy: Slow your roll, let Jesus join the journey.”
Bill Brunelle, vice president of The Meridian Group marketing agency in Virginia Beach, said he thinks the sign war is hilarious and an example of what he calls guerrilla marketing. Photos of businesses promoting each other through friendly feuds have become popular on social media.
“Signage is extremely important and what a fun and unique way to break through all the clutter in an affordable way,” Brunelle said.
Stokes and Butt never imagined their idea would go viral.
“We just thought it was going to be across-the-street banter,” Stokes said. “This was completely organic and took on a life of its own.”
The friendly competition began on Cinema Cafe’s marquee: “Hey Haygood Skating Center, do you want to start a sign war?” A day or two later, Stokes responded: “Hey Cinema Cafe, no one falls asleep while skating.” So, Cinema Cafe answered: “Hey Haygood Skating Ctr, no one skins a knee while watching a movie.”
Nowadays, Stokes is busy jotting down responses on a clipboard and climbing a ladder roughly 18 feet up the side of his building several times a day to change his sign just to keep up with the comebacks.
Inside Business
“We haven’t touched that sign since COVID hit,” Stokes said. “I’ve probably changed the sign more in the past 72 hours than I’ve done in nine years.”
And people in the community have jumped on board, shooting photos and sharing posts of the signs throughout the city on social media. The VB Sign Wars Facebook group has reached 1,000 members and folks can search #vbsignwars posts.
“Even stores that don’t have a marquee, they’re making their own signs and taping them up,” Butt said.
It’s expanded to other cities, too.
The Norfolk Tides posted a digital billboard message on Instagram: “Hey Shaggy, someone said you needed a bigger sign. Three trys and you’re out.”
“I’ve never seen a reaction to something so simple, but so much fun,” Stokes said. “With all that we’ve been through and all the weird negativity going on, it shows that we live in an awesome kick-ass community and it’s incredible to see.”

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Transgender kids in Utah will be not be subjected to sports participation limits at the start of the upcoming school year after a judge delayed the implementation of a statewide ban passed earlier this year.
Judge Keith Kelly’s decision Friday to put the law on hold until a legal challenges is resolved came after he recently rejected a request by Utah state attorneys to dismiss the case. Most Utah schools students head back to classes this month.
Attorneys representing the families of three transgender student-athletes filed the lawsuit challenging the ban last May, contending it violates the Utah Constitution’s guarantees of equal rights and due process.
Similar cases are underway in states such as Idaho, West Virginia and Indiana.
The issue of whether transgender girls should be allowed to participate in female sports has become flashpoint across the U.S. with Republican lawmakers passing legislation to block them based on the premise it gives them an unfair competitive advantage.
Transgender rights advocates counter that the rules aren’t just about sports, but another way to demean and attack transgender youth.
As of March, the Utah High School Activities Association knew of only one transgender girl playing in K-12 sports who would be affected by the ban.
The association, which organizes leagues for 85,000 students, has said there have been no publicly made allegations of competitive advantage concerning any of the state’s four transgender youth athletes. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Judge-puts-Utah-ban-on-transgender-kids-in-sports-17384470.php | 2022-08-19T16:17:16Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Judge-puts-Utah-ban-on-transgender-kids-in-sports-17384470.php | false | 12 |

The rock star was recently in Cleveland as he performed on tour with rapper Machine Gun Kelly, 32, in his hometown.

Fans rushed to the comments section and sent their well-wishes to the music star.
One fan said: "Damn. Get well, brother."
Another fan added: "Rest up and get back at it soon!"
A third fan mentioned: "Feel better Travis!! Rest up!"

PANCREATITIS BATTLE
Back in June, Travis was struck down by life-threatening pancreatitis.
He was rushed to West Hills Hospital before being transferred to Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, closely followed by Kourtney, 41.
A source exclusively told The Sun: "Travis underwent a procedure on Tuesday (June 28, 2022) after being rushed to hospital, but the family did not want to release any further details at the moment."
The 46-year-old musician revealed in an Instagram Story that a recent colonoscopy may have triggered the illness.
Sources told TMZ that there was inflammation in the pancreas, which created symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain.
In July, Travis was released from the hospital after about six days.
An insider exclusively told The Sun: "Travis has now been discharged and is at home as he continues to recover with the support of his family on July 4th."
A second source also confirmed that he was no longer in the hospital.
HIS FAMILY LIFE
In May, The Kardashians star and Travis walked down the aisle and tied the knot in Portofino, Italy.
Kourtney shares her daughter Penelope, 10, and sons Reign, seven, and Mason, 12, with her ex, Scott Disick, 39.
She is also the stepmother to Travis' kids: Alabama, 16, and Landon, 18 - the teens he shares with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.

ROME (AP) — The Vatican cardinal accused in a class-action lawsuit in Canada of sexual assault against a woman on Friday denied any inappropriate behavior and said he would vigorously fight the “false” and “defamatory” accusations if the case proceeds.
Cardinal Marc Ouellet issued his own statement via the Vatican press office a day after the Holy See said a preliminary church investigation into the woman's allegations determined the case didn’t warrant further investigation or canonical trial.
The back-to-back statements were responding to lawyers in Quebec who recently filed a class-action compliant by 101 alleged victims accusing 88 prelates of sexual abuse and assault over decades.
Ouellet, who headed the Quebec archdiocese from 2002-2010, was accused by a woman identified only as “F” of several alleged incidents of unwanted touching, including sliding his hand down her back and touching her buttocks at a 2010 event in Quebec City.
In the statement, Ouellet termed the accusations “false.”
“I firmly deny having made inappropriate gestures against her person and consider the interpretation and diffusion of these accusations as sexual aggression to be defamatory,” he said. If the lawsuit proceeds “I intend to actively participate so that the truth is established and my innocence is recognized."
In 2010, Ouellet became prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for Bishops, which is in charge of the world's bishops. In that job, he oversees church investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct involving bishops or cardinals with adults. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Vatican-cardinal-terms-assault-allegations-false-17384479.php | 2022-08-19T16:21:11Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Vatican-cardinal-terms-assault-allegations-false-17384479.php | true | 23 |
Patrick Bamford has revealed that his new Leeds teammate Tyler Adams is 'irritating' to play against in training. The USMNT midfielder signed from RB Leipzig in the summer for £20 million (€23.5m/$24m) and has been tasked with replacing Kalvin Philips in the heart of midfield.
The American can play in a number of positions, including full-back or on either wing, but prefers to be deployed as a central midfielder. Leeds boss Jesse Marsch has targeted this area of the pitch after losing his talisman Phillips, bringing in Adams, Marc Roca from Bayern Munich and Darko Gyabi from Manchester City's Under-21 set up.
Bamford hails 'irritating' USMNT star Adams
Speaking on The Official Leeds Utd Podcast, Bamford said: "Ty [Adams] as well has come in and it’s difficult to fill Kalvin’s role, how good Kal was, but the way Ty wins the ball back as well – he’s doing a good job so far!
“He and Marc [Roca] in midfield compliment each other nicely. Ty is irritating! He just appears out of nowhere and he’s full throttle."
Bamford revealed that Adams particularly impressed him in one training session, saying: "There was one time a few weeks ago, and I’d just taken the ball down – I think it had gone over Rasmus [Kristensen's] head and I was just about to shoot – and Ty had no business being there and he slid from 10 metres away!
“He is full throttle, but they’re good lads.”
How has Adams started the Premier League season?
Adams has featured in each of Leeds' opening Premier League games, playing the entire 90 minutes in both games.
The Yorkshire side defeated Wolves 2-1 on the opening weekend, with Adams picking up a yellow card and they were held to a 2-2 draw against Southampton the following weekend. | https://www.goal.com/en-om/news/irritating-usmnt-star-adams-winding-leeds-team-mate-bamford-in-a-/blt846808608b3f570d | 2022-08-19T16:21:26Z | https://www.goal.com/en-om/news/irritating-usmnt-star-adams-winding-leeds-team-mate-bamford-in-a-/blt846808608b3f570d | false | 11 |

Is Cineworld closing? Cinema chain prepares to file for bankruptcy after debts of around £4 billion
The company blamed a lack of blockbuster films for the admissions being low with the release of James Bond, Spider-Man, Thor and Dr Strange all being released post-pandemic
Cineworld is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy after Covid essentially halted sales, with the industry one of the toughest hit during the pandemic.
The company, which is listed in London, operates 751 sites across 10 different countries, but has run up debts of around £4 billion after a tough couple of years financially.
Cineworld is the world’s second largest cinema chain, but its recovery post-pandemic has been slow after losses soared during the coronavirus crisis.
Most Popular
According to the Wall Street Journal, the company is expected to consider insolvency proceedings in the UK.
The share price of Cineworld absolutely tanked from 20p to 2p following the news, with the chain trading at £1.97 before the pandemic hit.
The market value of Cineworld halved earlier this week, after news emerged that Cineworld had started talks with stakeholders regarding a financial ‘rescue package’.
The company blamed a lack of blockbuster films for the admissions being low.
Since the pandemic, thanks to releases such as James Bond’s ‘No Time To Die’ and Spider-Man’s ‘Far From Home’ revenues more than doubled from $852m to $1.8bn last year.
Speaking to the Guardian, Walid Koudmani, chief market analyst at financial brokerage XTB said: “The firm will blame the lack of summer blockbusters as a reason behind its sharp downfall but in reality its aggressive acquisition plan has taken on too much debt and this was always a huge risk as interest rates rise.
“Moreover, the move to stay at home entertainment and streaming providers has created a pivotal shift in the way consumers enjoy films, and Cineworld simply has not adapted fast enough. It’s all quite sad as the UK’s high street will now likely lose a popular and familiar brand name.”
The group saw around 95 million people flock to their cinemas in 2021, which was a 75 percent increase on 2020. However, pre-pandemic, around 275 million attended Cineworld’s multiple venues.

Dall sheep hunting season opened in Alaska on Aug. 10. Just a week into the season, multiple hunters have already been cited by Alaska State Troopers for harvesting sub-legal sheep. In all three instances, hunters took Dall sheep that did not have full-curl horns.
Two hunters were cited on Tuesday, one of whom was hunting near Delta Junction. Michael Hernon, 36, of Kodiak, was cited for harvesting a sheep that was not full-curl and that was under 8 years old. Hernon harvested the sheep near the Gerstle River.
Christopher George of Eagle River was also cited for taking a sub-legal sheep in a hunt near Anchorage.
Another hunter was cited on Aug. 15. Wasilla resident Matthew Roster, 36, took a sheep that was 6 years old and not full curl while hunting in the Nutzotin Mountains near Palmer.
Many Dall sheep populations around the state have been in decline for several years. To balance hunting with population maintenance, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game enacted a strict management policy. Only rams with full-curl horns can be legally hunted. Rams with full curl horns signify that the animal is approximately 7 or 8 years old.
However, it can be difficult to identify full-curl sheep, particularly in the field from long distances. ADF&G has numerous resources available to help hunters identify full-curl rams from different angles in the field.
Last season, Fish and Game saw an increase in the number of sub-legal Dall sheep that were harvested, according to the department. This is in part because there are fewer full-curl rams in general. An Fish and Game statement explained that heavy snow and late spring thaw led to high lamb mortality and low production in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Animals born in these years would now be between 8 to 10 years old, which is the age class that comprises most of the eligible harvest.
The department predicted that there would again be an unusually high number of sub-legal sheep harvested this season, since there are still fewer sheep in the eligible age range.
When a hunter harvests a sub-legal sheep, the horns and carcass are seized by the state, and the meat is sometimes donated to charity. Additionally, hunters must appear in court and are fined for the illegal kill.
Information about sheep hunting in Alaska, including examples of full-curl sheep and how to identify sheep from various angles, is available at bit.ly/3PyBFhu.

Jermaine Eluemunor on Las Vegas Raiders' O-Line Maturity
HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders Jermaine Eluemunor is a lot of things, disingenuous is not one of them.
The veteran offensive lineman was candid about his battle with weight, and prioritizing his work ethic. But with Coach Josh McDaniels now leading the Silver and Black, Eleumunor sees that as his last chance to make an impact in the National Football League.
Eluemunor spoke after training camp practice about all of his issues, his team, and much more.
You can watch the entire press conference below, and read the transcript:
Guard/Tackle Jermaine Eluemunor
Q: We talked to coach earlier about competition and clean slates for everyone. Can you talk about that as a player? Do you like that part of it that you know you can compete for a spot?
Jermaine Eluemunor: "The clean slate was especially good for me because I feel like the last five years my career I kind of just wasn't as serious as I should've been, whether it was nutrition, weight, mentality, I wasn't all in. Josh [McDaniels] coming, knowing who I was and who I am, I've benefitted a lot from that. Just being able to recreate myself this year and create the type of player I am and person I am has been really good for me. Then to have him and Dave [Zeigler] here and just show me how confident they are in me and what I can do and just keep pushing me forward has been really dope."
Q: You guys got more serious like you said about the diet, conditioning and all that. Do you feel it on the field?
Eluemunor: " Oh yeah, 100 percent. It's funny because if you watch my tape from when I was in New England, my set, it looks like I'm just a big blob really trying to force myself back there. Now I'm having to slow down because I'm a lot quicker than I used to be. I lost a lot of weight because I used to be real plump. So yeah, I definitely feel the difference out there. Then also when it comes to conditioning too, I'm able to go on 13,14,15 play drives and although I'm somewhat tired, I'm not as tired as I used to be coming to the sideline needing an (oxygen) tank to get me going again. So, it has definitely been beneficial."
Q: Your get off at tackle, you can see it. You're definitely moving quicker getting into your pass pro. I know you played guard as well, but do you kind of prefer tackle? Do you feel like you're a better fit at tackle?
Eluemunor: "I have my preference obviously. I love tackle, but if something happens in the middle of the season and they're like, 'Jermaine, we need you to slide in at guard,' I think I would be perfectly fine in there because I started out at guard in Baltimore and then got moved out to tackle later in the year. I pride myself in being able to play both positions and hopefully playing them at a high level."
Q: How difficult is it to switch from multiple sides from the left to the right to the guard spot like you did even in the game on Sunday?
Eluemunor: "It's tough. Going from right to left especially when you're more on one side during practice is tough, but it's the NFL and you have to be ready for any opportunity you get. For me to start at left tackle during that game was a hell of an opportunity to show people in this organization and around the league that if given the chance I can do that as well and play right tackle also. I got the opportunity a couple of years ago, and I didn't really take full advantage of that. When I was in New England, like I said I was overweight, I was sloppy and it left a bad taste in my mouth and everyone else's mouth of me playing left tackle. So I took that as an opportunity to show people I'm doing this again, but this time completely different. I'm a new player out there, and I'm going to keep trying to show that every single week."
Q: What is your diet like now?
Eluemunor: "Straight protein, no vegetables. Vegetables make you fat - no I'm playing."

Q: What have you seen from Thayer Munford? What do you like about his game?
Eluemunor: "I think from this spring, to the summer to training camp, he's gotten a lot better. You could see he had his rookie moments - and he still has his rookie moments, he's a rookie. You expect a rookie to have some things like that. But he gets better every single day. He takes the coaching in the room and applies it on the field. He just works his butt off every single time he's out there. Anytime I give him a pointer, I'm like, 'Hey put your hands here. Look at your feet, look at your hips. Square them up more. Raise your hands.' He takes that and he listens to it and he does that. I think he's going to be a hell of a player as long as he can stay out of his own head and listens to the coaching and also just goes out there and balls. I think as a rookie, you have so much pressure on you. There's so many expectations. First you've got to make the team and if you're thrust into a starting role or a big-time role then you've got to perform. Knowing Thayer [Munford], he's going to be a big part of the team this year whatever his role is. And I think he's ready for whatever role that is just because of how he comes to work every single day."
Q: You said you spoke a lot with Maxx Crosby about trying to up your game. What kind of lessons did you take from that conversation?
Eluemunor: "Like I said before, Maxx [Crosby] has been a huge blessing for my career as a player and a person because like I said I didn't take football that serious and I was kind of just one foot in, one foot out. Just seeing how Maxx approaches the game with his nutrition, with the way he works every single day going to balls to the wall every single play, the conditioning after, before. Everything he does kind of just - that's the player I want to be. I want to be just like him honestly. He's one of the best at the league at what he does. Obviously he was blessed with talent, but he worked for everything he got. Every single thing he got, he worked for it. He deserves everything just because he puts all the work in to be that player. Seeing a guy like him do all that, showed me that it was possible to do that, and that's what I'm trying to do. If I can follow in his footsteps, fix my diet. do what I need to do on the field, then everything else that happens then I'll be real happy with it. Obviously I'm working my butt off to become that type of player too."
Q: How much of an inspiration is to be able to compete for a roster spot this season?
Eluemunor: "This is my third or fourth chance. I was a starter in Baltimore my third year. And my rookie year I got to start playing. If I did what I needed to do, I would've kept that spot, but it got taken from me. In my third year in Baltimore, I started left guard, but I was overweight. And then I got injured in New England. In my second year in New England, I was starting at right tackle, and I was overweight, and wasn't able to do what I needed to do. As soon as I got hurt, they replaced me, because I didn't earn that job. Last year I was in there, but I didn't fully commit to it. I didn't do what I needed to do on the field, and I got replaced again. In my eyes, this is my last opportunity to become the player I really want to become or I'm just going to be a backup for the rest of my career. I'm doing everything I can to make this happen, I'm doing everything possible to achieve everything I want to achieve in this game. Not everyone is lucky enough to get as many opportunities and chances like I have. [Head Coach] Josh [McDaniels] coming in here and [General Manager] Dave [Ziegler] coming here, they didn't say it, but in my mind, this is my last opportunity. So, if I don't achieve what I want to achieve this year, then that's my fault."
Q: Full back Jakob Johnson says your taste in food is 'bad', what's the story there?
Eluemunor: "Jakob is jealous that I'm from the great country of England. He is from the second or third best – actually third-best country of Germany. I've never been there, but I think he always wanted to be English. I don't know what they eat in Germany – schnitzel? What's schnitzel? Is it fried chicken? What do they call wieners over there, I don't even know. And the beer – beer's better in England. He says he loves English food; he just doesn't want to admit it. I think Jak has the worst taste in everything. TV, food, clothes, shoes, hair. Don't even get me started on his hair. In New England, it was just blah. But I think he's just jealous that I'm from England and he's not. And I have a cool accent and he doesn't. Not everyone likes you, you just have to roll with it. Jak is Jak."
Q: Are you excited for joint practice against the Patriots?
Eluemunor: "I'm very excited for it. I think it's going be fun. I'm seeing that they're bringing a different attitude to it. They're practicing really hard. I still have a bunch of friends on that team, and I think it's going to be competitive. I think it's going to be a really good two days of practice between us. I think all of us are going to get a lot better from going against that competition. There are a lot of good players over there – [Matthew] Judon, Deatrich [Wise, Jr.], LG [Lawrence Guy], Christian Barmore. I've watched tape with him, he's a great player. They have a bunch of great D-lineman over there who are technically sound and good at what they do. I think all of us are going to benefit from going against someone else and going into that competition."
Q: Do you feel like you've been an inspiration to kids in England amid the NFL's push for international audiences?
Eluemunor: "I hope so. Hopefully, they're following me this year instead of the last couple years, because I don't feel I've done the best job of being an inspiration to them. Making it to the NFL, coming from England was a hell of an accomplishment, but I want to do more than just be known as the kid that's here from England and made it to the NFL. Yes, I made it to the NFL, but I want to do way more than that. Once I accomplish those goals, show kids that it's possible to move from another country to come over here and play football and play at a high level. It doesn't matter when you start, as long as you're determined that you really want to do it. Believe in yourself, you can accomplish whatever."
Q: How has lining up opposite Maxx Crosby helped improve your game?
Eluemunor: "I truly believe he and Chandler [Jones] have helped me become a player that I never knew I could become because they work so hard. In order to keep up with them, you have to become a different type of player. You have to be outside your comfort zone, work even harder when you're tired. You have to get one step better every single day, because if you don't, they're getting better every single day. If you don't buy into what they're teaching, and what they're telling you do – trying to help you out there – it will be hard to go out there every single day and block them without getting your butt whooped. I talk to Maxx all the time, Chandler too, and it's been such a blessing, having both of those two in my career. They've helped me every single step of the way. Making sure my hands are right, telling me about my set – if I set too wide, if I set too deep. If I set too short, if I didn't kick enough. It's just such a blessing to having both of them here. I have to bring my A-game every single day, because if I don't, I'm in a competition. I have to bring it every single day to show these coaches that I'm the guy. Because every single one in that room is bringing it every single day and would be unfair to them if I don't bring my best effort every single day."

Controversial British ex-Big Brother influencer Andrew Tate is BANNED from Facebook and Instagram for 'violating policies' (but his misogynistic videos are STILL shared on TikTok)
- 'Toxic influencer' Andrew Tate has been banned from Facebook and Instagram
- Meta, who owns the social media platforms, said he had violated its policies
- Tate has been slammed for promoting 'extreme misogyny' on the app TikTok
- In the past he said women who are raped 'must bear some responsibility'
‘Toxic influencer’ Andrew Tate, 35, has been banned from Facebook and Instagram after being slammed for creating misogynistic content.
Meta, who owns the two social media platforms, said the controversial influencer had violated its policies.
The ex-Big Brother star had made a multi-million-pound fortune by becoming an influencer on the video sharing app, TikTok.
Videos on the app under the hashtag Andrew Tate have racked up over 11.6 billion views but the content has been called out for promoting ‘extreme misogyny’ and capable of ‘radicalising’ young men.
The controversial influencer has been banned from Facebook and Instagram. Meta who owns the social media platforms say Andrew Tate, 35, has violated its policies
Meta told the BBC it had removed the former kickboxer from its platform for violating its policies on dangerous organisations and individuals - but did not provide further details.
At the time of his removal, he had 4.7 million followers on Instagram - this number had grown rapidly from around one million followers just two months ago in June.
Tate is yet to comment on the ban.
Twitter had already banned him from their platform after he said women who have been raped ‘must bear some responsibility’.
In one video the 35-year-old billionaire advises men accused of cheating by their girlfriends to 'bang out the machete, boom in her face and grip her by the neck. Shut up b*tch.'
There have been 11.6 billion views on the TikTok app under a hashtag of his name
Earlier this year in April, the misogynistic TikToker was investigated by police in Romania for people trafficking and rape after a complaint from a woman who had lived with him there.
TikTok said it has been taking action against videos and accounts that are found to violate its community guidelines.
A TikTok spokesperson said: 'Misogyny is a hateful ideology that is not tolerated on TikTok.
'We've been removing violative videos and accounts for weeks, and we welcome the news that other platforms are also taking action against this individual.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11127853/Andrew-Tate-banned-Facebook-Instagram-violating-policies-TikTok.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-19T16:33:42Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11127853/Andrew-Tate-banned-Facebook-Instagram-violating-policies-TikTok.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false | 2 |
US: Biden to host unity summit against hate-fueled violence
In the battle for the soul of our nation ‘we must all enlist in this great cause of America'
US President Joe Biden will host a conference on combating racist, anti-democratic and other extremist threats in September, less than two months before tense midterm elections, the White House said Friday.
“As President Biden said in Buffalo after the horrific mass shooting earlier this year, in the battle for the soul of our nation ‘we must all enlist in this great cause of America,’” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement. ”The United We Stand Summit will present an important opportunity for Americans of all races, religions, regions, political affiliations, and walks of life to take up that cause together.”
Citing mass-shootings that targeted Black, Hispanic, Jewish and Asian Americans over recent years, Jean-Pierre said "Americans remain overwhelmingly united in their opposition to such violence."
Biden has frequently cited 2017′s white supremacist protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, with bringing him out of political retirement to challenge then-president Donald Trump in 2020, perceived by many as equivocating on or even sympathetic to the racist protesters.
In addition to Biden's keynote address, the conference will see "inclusive, bipartisan panels and conversations on countering hate-fueled violence, preventing radicalization and mobilization to violence, and fostering unity," Jean-Pierre said. | https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/americas/1660925889-us-biden-to-host-unity-summit-against-hate-fueled-violence | 2022-08-19T16:40:26Z | https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/americas/1660925889-us-biden-to-host-unity-summit-against-hate-fueled-violence | true | 1 |
SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) — The chief executive who oversaw the rapid expansion of Ulta Beauty will take over as CEO of Foot Locker during a period of significant transition for the chain.
Mary Dillon, one of only a handful of women to run a company in the S&P 500, stepped down as the top executive at Ulta early last year and will take over at Foot Locker for Richard Johnson, who retires next month.
Shares of Foot Locker jumped 20% at the opening bell Friday.
Dillon takes control of the company next month with Foot Locker relying less on sales at malls, where foot traffic has plummeted, and moving away from one of its most dominant suppliers, Nike. Nike is pursuing an aggressive push to sell its products directly to customers.
Johnson, who has led the company since 2014, will continue as the board’s executive chairman through 2023.
Ulta’s market capitalization tripled under Dillon between 2013 to 2021 and doubled its number of stores and loyalty memberships. She created a partnership to get Ulta into a major retail chain and in front of potential customers who may have been unfamiliar with the brand.
Foot Locker posted its highest annual sales since 1994 in its last fiscal year as the pandemic eased, potentially providing momentum as it expands its online sales platforms while opening more stand-alone locations.
Foot Locker says it will maintain a presence in malls, where their referee-striped sales force has been ubiquitous for decades.
It is also diversifying the products customers see on shelves Foot Locker says that by the fourth quarter of this year it expects no vendor to to make up more than 55% of its product budget. Just two years ago, Nike products accounted for as much as 75% of Foot Locker’s product spending.
The company also posted strong second-quarter profits Friday that easily topped Wall Street expectations.
Foot Locker, based in New York, has 2,800 stores across 28 countries and reported $9 billion in sales last year. During the second quarter, it opened 34 new stores, remodeled or relocated 24 more and closed 50.
It also owns more than 500 Champs Sports stores and purchased West Coast shoe and athletic apparel retailer WSS in 2021 for $750 million.
Dillon has served as president and CEO of U.S. Cellular and held executive and leadership positions at McDonald’s and PepsiCo. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/business-news/foot-locker-names-former-ulta-beauty-chief-as-ceo/ | 2022-08-19T16:40:46Z | https://www.fox44news.com/news/business-news/foot-locker-names-former-ulta-beauty-chief-as-ceo/ | false | 24 |

Is Trending Stock Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (LNTH) a Buy Now?
Lantheus Holdings (LNTH) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.
Over the past month, shares of this diagnostic imaging company have returned +14.8%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +12% change. During this period, the Zacks Medical - Products industry, which Lantheus Holdings falls in, has lost 17.4%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction?
While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.
Earnings Estimate Revisions
Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.
We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For the current quarter, Lantheus Holdings is expected to post earnings of $0.69 per share, indicating a change of +762.5% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $3.08 points to a change of +528.6% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has remained unchanged.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $3.62 indicates a change of +17.5% from what Lantheus Holdings is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has remained unchanged.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) for Lantheus Holdings.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Revenue Growth Forecast
While earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth.
For Lantheus Holdings, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $229.55 million indicates a year-over-year change of +124.9%. For the current and next fiscal years, $900.67 million and $995.56 million estimates indicate +111.8% and +10.5% changes, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise History
Lantheus Holdings reported revenues of $223.72 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +121.4%. EPS of $0.89 for the same period compares with $0.11 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $203.98 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +9.68%. The EPS surprise was +27.14%.
The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period.
Valuation
Without considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.
While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S) and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price.
As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
Lantheus Holdings is graded F on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
Bottom Line
The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Lantheus Holdings. However, its Zacks Rank #1 does suggest that it may outperform the broader market in the near term.

Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik has advised people of four districts in the path of the deep depression formed over the Bay of Bengal not to venture out on Saturday as the system is all set to cross the coast between Balasore and Sagar Islands by Friday evening.

Russia is still stealing Ukrainian grain and delivering shipments to its allies despite the UN-brokered deal lifting Moscow’s blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports, a senior US official said on Friday.
Jim O’Brien, the US State Department’s head of the Office of Sanctions Co-ordination, said the stolen grain is not reaching its ultimate destination — the World Food Programme (WFP).
“That’s going for Russia's friends. There was one ship [the Razoni] that went to Syria,” Mr O’Brien said in a press briefing.
“Russia is stealing it and sending it to its political allies.”
Forty per cent of the WFP's grain is supplied by Ukraine.
This week, satellite images showed that the Razoni, the first vessel carrying Ukrainian grain to leave under a deal to unblock Black Sea ports following the Russian invasion, has ended up in Syria.
And on Thursday, Ukraine’s embassy in Beirut said in a statement to AFP that a Russian cargo ship carrying stolen Ukrainian grain, the SV KONSTANTIN, had also docked in the country.
Mr O'Brien said the US is working with UN humanitarian programmes to ensure the delivery of grain shipments.
Isobel Coleman, the deputy administrator for policy and programming at the US Agency for International Development (USAID) said Washington is allocating $68 million in additional funding to the WFP “to purchase, move and store up to 150,000 metric tonnes of Ukrainian wheat to support ongoing emergency food assistance in countries facing severe crises”.
Ms Coleman hailed the first shipment of humanitarian food aid that left the port of Odesa on Thursday, carrying 23,000 metric tonnes of wheat to Ethiopia.
🚢 Yesterday, the FIRST shipment of humanitarian food assistance left #Ukraine's Port in Odesa under the Black Sea Grain Initiative. 🙌

She said Russia's five-month blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports has trapped more than 20 million tonnes of grain inside the country.
It is estimated that about eight million tonnes of grain have left Ukraine.
Ms Coleman called the reopening of Odesa and the resumption of humanitarian shipments “a huge moment”.
But despite the new agreement rolling back the blockade, US officials remain dubious of Russia's good faith.
“When you're dealing with Russia, you always need a Plan B and a Plan C and a Plan D,” she added.
“I wouldn't trust the Russians on many things at this point.”
US President Joe Biden's latest security assistance package for Ukraine includes surveillance drones and mine-resistance vehicles, a senior US defence official said on Friday.
The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the package would be valued at $775m and also include additional ammunition and Howitzer systems. The additional aid was first reported by Reuters on Thursday.
In total, the US has now committed about $9.8 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Mr Biden took office in January 2021. | https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/us-news/2022/08/19/russia-stealing-ukrainian-grain-and-delivering-it-to-allies-us-says/ | 2022-08-19T16:44:26Z | https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/us-news/2022/08/19/russia-stealing-ukrainian-grain-and-delivering-it-to-allies-us-says/ | false | 1 |

In an update, during the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that Punk’s call-out on Dynamite was a surprise to many. He went on to note that currently, there is "a ton of backstage drama involving many of the top guys that has gotten much worse in recent weeks".
Meltzer also added there may need to be some kind of intervention from Tony Khan to "air everything out" before things get worse.
It is believed the situation with Colt Cabana was the catalyst for the issues and tension backstage. Khan was reportedly convinced by a number of talent to keep Cabana signed, and he was moved over to help with Ring Of Honor.
If things don't get sorted, Meltzer notes "It feels like a number of people are close to their breaking point if things don’t get settled".

DALLAS (AP) — Labor unions are pressuring U.S. airlines not to buy back their own stock but instead spend the money on hiring more workers and fixing problems that caused widespread flight delays and cancellations this summer.
The unions said Thursday that the four largest U.S. airlines spent more than $39 billion on stock buybacks from 2014 through 2019 rather than making investments to help employees and passengers.
The airlines are currently barred from buying back their own shares as a condition of $54 billion in federal pandemic aid, but that prohibition ends after Sept. 30. Union officials worry that buybacks will come back now that most U.S. airlines have returned to profitability after huge losses in 2020 and 2021.
The unions, which represent pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, baggage handlers and other workers, launched a campaign and petition drive that portrays buyouts as a giveaway to Wall Street and a tool for airline executives to boost their own stock-based compensation.
“We paused the greed in aviation for a little while,” said Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants. She blamed “greed that ran rampant before COVID” with leaving airlines understaffed.
The unions asked airlines to pledge to forgo buybacks until until airlines fix their “operational meltdowns” and reach new labor contracts — unions are seeking substantial wage increases.
A union representative said Thursday that none of the airlines immediately agreed to the pledge.
The chief financial officer of American Airlines, Derek Kerr, said in a recent interview that buybacks are not on the table.
“There is no plan to do any share repurchases. All of our excess liquidity will go to pay off debt,” Kerr said. A spokesman said Thursday that is still American’s position.
United Airlines said that it is not currently seeking buybacks. “Our highest financial priorities right now are restoring our balance sheet and investing in our employees and customers,” a spokeswoman said.
Asked about share repurchases last month, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian did not answer directly because of the prohibition, but he said the airline has a responsibility to customers, employees, “and importantly to our owners.” A Delta spokesman said Thursday that the company has raised base pay 4% and made profit-sharing payments to employees.
A Southwest Airlines spokesman said only that the airline has not announced any plans for buybacks.
Airlines could be tempted to repurchase stock because the shares might appear cheap. The Arca index of airline stocks is down 21% this year and 41% since the start of 2020. Most U.S. airlines reported second-quarter profits, however, and revenue is surging on strong ticket sales.
Stock buybacks are a favorite target of unions and Democratic lawmakers, who often see them as widening inequality between workers and wealthier investors. The climate, health care and tax bill that President Joe Biden signed this week includes a new 1% excise tax on them beginning next year.
Corporations view buybacks as a way to reward shareholders by reducing the number of shares and making the remaining ones more valuable. Investors often prefer them over dividends, which are treated as ordinary income and taxed at up to 37%. If buybacks boost a stock’s value, investors who hold the shares long enough pay a lower capital-gains tax on the profit when they sell — no more than 20%.
“There is nothing inherently wrong with a buyback. It just gives shareholders a return on their investment,” said Charles Elson, founding director of a corporate-governance center at the University of Delaware.
Elson, however, said there are pitfalls. Companies might pay too much for the stock, wasting money. And executives with stock options benefit from buybacks but not from dividends, a problem that he said can be fixed by giving the executives restricted stock units instead of options.
Charles Tharp, a Boston University management professor who advises corporate boards on compensation, said that raising employee pay and buying back stock are separate decisions.
When companies approve buybacks, “it does look like I’m choosing to serve shareholders instead of employees,” he said, “but that assumes you would give the raise to employees if you didn’t buy back shares, which probably isn’t the case.”
Tharp said if companies believe they need to raise pay to be competitive, they will make that decision regardless of whether they buy back shares.
In 2020, the labor unions provided key support for giving taxpayer money to the airlines, which were warning they faced disaster from a plunge in travel during the early days of the pandemic. Union officials and Democratic lawmakers insisted that the aid be tied to a ban on buybacks and limits on executive compensation.
Airlines were barred from furloughing employees during the pandemic, but they were allowed to pay incentives that led tens of thousands of workers to quit. The airlines were understaffed when air travel bounced back this spring and summer, contributing to about 45,000 canceled flights and 472,000 delays since June 1.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — British national El Shafee Elsheikh was sentenced to life in prison Friday for his role in an Islamic State scheme that took roughly two dozen Westerners hostage a decade ago.
Elsheikh's hostages gave him a somewhat whimsical nickname — he was dubbed a “Beatle” along with other English-accented captors — but the moniker belied the viciousness of his conduct.
“This prosecution unmasked the vicious and sadistic ISIS Beatles,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Raj Parekh, noting that Elsheikh and the other Beatles always wore masks when they appeared in front of their hostages.
He is the most notorious and highest-ranking member of the Islamic State group to ever be convicted in a U.S. Court, prosecutors said Friday at his sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. The life sentence was a foregone conclusion after a jury convicted him of hostage taking resulting in death and other crimes earlier this year.
The convictions revolved around the deaths of four American hostages: James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Peter Kassig, and Kayla Mueller. All but Mueller were executed in videotaped beheadings circulated online. Mueller was forced into slavery and raped multiple times by Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before she was killed.
They were among 26 hostages taken captive between 2012 and 2015, when the Islamic State group controlled large swaths of Iraq and Syria.
The convictions carried a mandatory life sentence. The U.S. agreed not to pursue death sentence as part of a deal that ensured extradition of Elsheikh and his friend, Alexanda Kotey, who has already been sentenced to life.
Parekh said it was difficult to convey the brutality of Elsheikh's actions. “We lack the vocabulary of such pain,” he said, paraphrasing Dante's Inferno.
Still, victims of Elsheikh and the Beatles testified at Friday's hearing and gave voice to what they experienced. Danish photographer Daniel Rye Ottosen, who was released after paying a ransom, said the worst moments were times of silence during and after captivity when he was alone with his thoughts.
He said when Elsheikh and the Beatles beat him up, it was almost a relief.
“Now I knew I could only concentrate on my pain, which is much easier than being alone with your thoughts,” he said.
Ottosen was particularly close to Foley, and memorized a goodbye letter that Foley wrote to his family so he could dictate it to Foley's parents when he was released.
Foley's mother, Diane Foley, said holding Elsheikh accountable at trial sends a message of deterrence to other would-be hostage takers.
“Hatred truly overwhelmed your humanity,” she told Elsheikh on Friday, which was the eighth anniversary of James Foley's beheading.
At trial, surviving hostages testified that they dreaded the Beatles’ appearance at the various prisons to which they were constantly shuttled and relocated. Elsheikh and the other Beatles played a key role in the hostage negotiations, getting hostages to email their families with demands for payments.
They also routinely beat and tortured the hostages, forcing them to fight each other to the point of passing out, threatening them with waterboarding and forcing them view images of slain hostages.
Elsheikh did not speak during Friday's hearing. His lawyer, Zachary Deubler, said Elsheikh will appeal his conviction. Elsheikh's lawyers had argued that his confessions should have been ruled inadmissible because of alleged mistreatment after he was captured by Kurdish-led Syrian Defense Forces in 2018.
At Friday's hearing, Deubler confined his arguments to a request that Elsheikh not be sent to the supermax prison facility in Florence, Colorado, where he would face solitary confinement for the rest of his life. Deubler said a designation to Florence is almost a certainty unless the judge recommends otherwise.
Judge T.S. Ellis III declined to make any recommendation to the Bureau of Prisons.
“The behavior of this defendant and his co-defendant can only be described as horrific, barbaric, brutal, callous and, of course, criminal,” Ellis said. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/British-fighter-gets-life-for-Islamic-State-17384510.php | 2022-08-19T16:51:28Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/British-fighter-gets-life-for-Islamic-State-17384510.php | true | 37 |
Demi Lovato hits the big 3-0 on Saturday, which is a huge accomplishment: after all, on their new album they literally sing, “I can’t believe I’m not dead.” But after years of struggling with addiction, substance abuse, mental health issues, relationship troubles and more, Demi’s finally in a good place. As they told Apple Music 1‘s Zane Lowe, for them, turning 30 is all about opportunity.
“Turning 30 has been such an eye-opener to me, because it feels like a door that’s opening to a whole new chapter of my life,” Demi told Zane. “And I, through that door, can see things like purpose and what makes me happy.”
So what are those things that will make them happy? Demi explains, “Through that door I see things like taking time off for myself, to work on my spirituality, to travel to places that I want to go to that I’ve never been to.”
And then, the singer says, they’re ready for the biggest step of all.
“Once I do that, [I want to] take time off to start a family, to raise children and [do] things that bring me joy outside of this industry,” they continue. “Because this industry is all that I’ve known since I was a child.”
“It’ll be scary, but … it can be done and it’s rewarding,” they say of balancing music and motherhood. “I’ve seen so many people do it.”
First, though, Demi has a huge tour planned in support of their new album, HOLY F**K. They gave fans a taste of what to expect Friday morning with a performance on ABC’s Good Morning America Summer Concert Series.

Correspondence from Ashanti Region
Hundreds of police personnel have been deployed to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, after the clash between two popular halls in the school.
The clash that occurred between the Katanga Hall and the Continental Hall witnessed the destruction of many properties, including nine(9) cars and eleven students being injured.
A visit to the school's campus by GhanaWeb's Ashanti Regional Correspondent, Nana Peprah, saw the presence of many police personnel being positioned at the places including the two feuding halls.
Though attempts to get students' reactions proved futile, free movement of students on campus was back to normalcy.
Meanwhile, Dr. Norris Bekoe, the University's URO speaking to GhanaWeb revealed that one of the two heavily injured victims is a member of the Mensah Sarbah Hall from the University of Ghana.
According to the source, some students from the University of Cape Coast had secretly joined members of Katanga Hall during their "Zulu Possession" which was marked as part of the week's celebration. | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Heavy-security-presence-at-KNUST-after-clash-between-Katanga-Conti-hall-clash-calm-restored-1606208 | 2022-08-19T17:01:30Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Heavy-security-presence-at-KNUST-after-clash-between-Katanga-Conti-hall-clash-calm-restored-1606208 | false | 2 |
