NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is expected to begin a rehab assignment Saturday and could rejoin the AL East leaders in the middle of next week as their designated hitter.
Stanton, who hasn’t played since July 23 due to left Achilles tendinitis, worked out again at Yankee Stadium prior to Friday night’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Manager Aaron Boone said Stanton was then slated to head to Bowie, Maryland, to serve as the DH in rehab games for Double-A Somerset on Saturday and Sunday.
“First things first, want to get him in that DH spot and just get him back in,” Boone said.
Stuck in an offensive slump, the Yankees had lost 13 of 17 going into the weekend.
Stanton will return to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday to oppose Luis Severino (right lat strain) in a live batting practice session. Boone said Stanton could be activated immediately thereafter and eased back into action as the DH.
The Yankees followed a similar plan with Stanton last year, when he missed two weeks in May with a left quad strain. Stanton played exclusively as the designated hitter in his first 45 starts following his activation before starting in left or right field 26 times in the final 58 games of the regular season.
“We’ll kind of — like we did last year, where we built on the run — (add) the outfield reps and hopefully make that a part at some point, but not immediately,” Boone said.
Stanton is hitting .228 with 24 homers and 61 RBIs this season. He has almost evenly split his time between the outfield and designated hitter, making 38 starts between left field and right field and 37 starts as the DH.

The saga is finally over
Deshaun Watson and the NFL settled in on him serving an 11-game suspension with a $5 million fine. This would ironically (and seemingly strategically) make his return to action in Week 13 against his former team the Houston Texans. In my opinion, this all but makes Watson undraftable in redraft fantasy formats. The reason being, unless you've streamed your way at quarterback all the way to the fantasy playoffs, it wouldn't make sense to add a guy playing his first game (on a new team). Drafting him and letting him rot on your bench until Week 13 is not ideal and a waste of a roster spot quite frankly. Had the six-game suspension held up (or maybe even eight games), then drafting him as a late-round flier would've been worth it. The “slick move” would be, if you're in a late-round keeper league, to draft him for 2023. While he may not impact your roster much this season, Watson is set to be a long-term staple for this laughable franchise. The last time Watson played was 2020 when he threw for 4,823 yards, 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions, all career-highs. That year finished as QB5 in fantasy, but in limited time this preseason, he and the Browns offense were slow out of the blocks.
The bigger question now becomes, how will this affect the Browns' other players on offense? They'll be led on offense by Jacoby Brissett. In two years as a starter in 2017 and 2019, he finished as QB20 and QB24 respectively. That's about what you're going to get out of Brissett. He does, however, get to play behind PFF's eighth-best offensive line from a season ago. Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb will be heavily relied upon this season and should be the only Browns you're excited about drafting. Amari Cooper is a good player in the NFL but a very up-and-down player. Having Brissett at quarterback will not help that. This will also limit the upside of younger receivers like David Bell, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Anthony Schwartz. The best value on the offense could come from David Njoku since he's basically free in drafts. The Browns decided to wash their hands of Austin Hooper after he fleeced them for a $10 million signing bonus and didn't bring in any significant tight ends. Harrison Bryant has shown flashes, but this should be Njoku's time to shine. There are grumblings now of a potential Jimmy Garoppolo trade, but nothing is imminent. Right now the team looks to go with Brissett and see how it goes.
Where's Tom?
Tom Brady is on a break from the team in the middle of training camp. I personally don't care, but it is very big news. Coach Todd Bowles said it was planned and that TB12 had been excused. He also said that he doesn't have a definite date for his return. This is very weird, but if there's any player in sports history where this should be ok, wouldn't it be Brady? We don't have to go through all of the accolades because if you didn't know them you probably wouldn't be reading this article. Whenever he does return, I don't expect him to miss a beat. He will be locked, loaded and ready to go. Kyle Trask could use the extra reps. Industry friend, Kendall Valenzuela of Fantasy Life has a good theory about where Brady could be and it makes perfect sense. In the tweet below, she connects the dots and explains how TB12 could possibly be recording for The Masked Singer. His former teammates Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown have both been on the show. It sounds crazy until it starts to make sense.

Carolina Mayfield taking the lead
It's been reported Baker Mayfield is expected to be the Panthers' Week 1 starter at quarterback. This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise as we've seen what Sam Darnold has been able to do in Carolina. Neither will play in the Week 2 preseason game. P.J Walker will get the start and alternate quarters with Matt Corral. Mayfield and Darnold took most of the reps this week in a joint practice with the Patriots. On the surface, coach Matt Rhule says that it's still an open competition. That part we don't know for sure, but what we do know is that Mayfield will probably be the best option for fantasy purposes. Robbie Anderson has always praised Mayfield for his leadership abilities. D.J. Moore, who consistently gives us 1,110 plus-yard seasons, should see a small bump in production. Christian McCaffrey will be extremely productive no matter who's at quarterback. Look forward to Mayfield facing his old squad in Week 1.
Backup running backs on the rise
Some unexpected players have been moving up running back depth charts this season, and it's sure to shake up the fantasy landscape. When Isaiah Spiller was drafted we immediately made him the complementary back to Austin Ekeler in our minds because it made sense. Third-year running back Joshua Kelley who's underwhelmed so far in his career, has reportedly had an amazing camp and is the clear-cut backup to Ekeler at this point. In Pittsburgh, the battle to be Najee Harris' backup is heating up. Jaylen Warren is on the cusp of supplanting Benny Snell as the RB2 after an impressive camp so far. Although Darrel Williams was brought into Arizona to fill the void left by Chase Edmonds, Eno Benjamin has made his case and is getting great praise from coach Kliff Kingsbury. In a shocker, Zack Moss is making a push for some touches in the Bills' backfield. James Cook and Devin Singletary were thought to be a two-man committee, but reports have been that this could be a three-man rotation which should completely scare you away in fantasy. Ken Walker, who was having a good camp, is out for the rest of the preseason, but coach Pete Carroll is hoping for a Week 1 return. | https://sports.yahoo.com/weekly-wrap-deshaun-watson-fallout-215120116.html?src=rss | 2022-08-19T23:24:34Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/weekly-wrap-deshaun-watson-fallout-215120116.html?src=rss | false | 1 |
Since he graduated from the University of Michigan in 1995, Jon Carlson has worked in the brewing industry. He’s terrible at actually making beer, Carlson joked, but he knows the ins and outs of the business better than the taste of a Corona with lime.
When he would come home from work at the end of the day, his daughter — who identifies as mixed race — would give him a hug and tell him she planned to one day follow in his footsteps.
“As a little girl she was always like, ‘I can’t wait to do what you do Daddy,’ ” Carlson recalled. “At the time, I thought, there’s nobody who looks like her actually doing that.”
A past proprietor of several brewing companies including Northern United Brewing Co. — the company that oversees Jolly Pumpkin and North Peak Brewing Company — Carlson said almost every brewery owner and brewmaster he’s met over the years has been a white man.
“The majority of the owners and brewers in the craft industry are white dudes with silly goatees like me, and that’s just a mistake,” Carlson said.
The first Black-owned brewery in the state opened in Grand Rapids in late 2020, and Detroit got its first one in 2021 even though 77 percent of the city’s population is Black. Out of more than 350 Michigan breweries, there are currently only four in the state that are Black owned — or about one percent. Fifteen Michigan breweries are owned or co-owned by women.
“It certainly does not represent society,” Cory Emal, a professor of fermentation science at Eastern Michigan University told Bridge Michigan. “We know that’s true.”
The lack of diversity is something Carlson said he’s wanted to improve since 2017 when he had the idea to open a training brewery in one of the properties he owned in Detroit — a brewery that would create career opportunities for people of color and women.
Emal said no one knows for certain why the industry is overwhelmingly white in Michigan and across the country. One possibility: the industry relies on apprenticeship programs to train the next generation of brewers, which often do not prioritize diversity.
From what Emal can tell, white men looking to get into the industry often have an easier time networking and securing an apprenticeship than minority groups and women, he said.
“That model perpetuates in-groups and out-groups,” he said.
There have been a couple of other initiatives in Michigan in recent years to diversify the craft brewing industry. In February, the Saugatuck Brewing Company in Douglas took part in the Black is Beautiful initiative, brewing and selling a special dark oatmeal stout. A percent of the sales went to the Harriet Baskerville Incubation Program, which supports racial minority groups and women looking to get into the industry.
According to the Black is Beautiful website, 34 other Michigan breweries have since joined the initiative.
Carlson said he is not aware of other breweries in the state specifically offering a comprehensive training experience for marginalized communities.
The Ann Arbor-based real estate company Carlson is a partner of, 3Mission, purchased several properties in Midtown with a local non-profit Midtown Detroit, Inc. over 10 years ago to develop, so Carlson still had vacant space to use for his passion project.
After construction and pandemic related delays, Carlson opened the Nain Rouge Brewery in 2022 in Midtown Detroit. In May, he partnered with EMU’s fermentation science program along with Midtown Detroit, Inc. to launch a 12-week intensive brewery training program at Nain Rouge.
Even though EMU professors are collaborating on the program, the students were not enrolled at the University, nor did they have to pay EMU tuition. They also do not receive college credit or a brewer’s license upon graduation.
To operate a microbrewery in Michigan and sell beer, graduated students would still need to apply for a state-issued license. That process can take several months since most breweries will purchase real estate and establish a corporation or LLC before applying for a license.
The first group of admitted students, four total, graduated from the Nain Rouge program on June 23. Since it was the program’s first go-around, Carlson said he wanted to keep the number of enrolled students low. Because of scholarship costs and spatial constraints, the next iteration of the program is also expected to have no more than six students.
Right now, accepted students with an income less than 80 percent the area median income in their county do not have to pay to participate, while other students have to pay $1,500 for the 12-week program. In 2020, 80 percent of the area median income in Detroit for a two-person household was $50,240.
According to Susan Mosey, the director of Midtown Detroit Inc., who was in charge of the application process, the program is structured so that at least half of admitted students are racial minorities or women from Detroit. The other half can be from any background.
The small class size means they are not going to change the demographics of the brewing industry overnight, Gregg Wilmes, Emal’s partner and an EMU associate professor of fermentation science, told Bridge. He said with every iteration of the program, the impact could be “magnified,” though, if those students start breweries of their own — hiring and inspiring diverse brewers.
“Obviously [four students] is not a gigantic number,” Wilmes said. “But this is the first time that we have tried this after five years of working, so I believe that it is a start. The perception that this industry is welcoming to all communities is going to be a big step. There’s a high likelihood of a magnifying effect.”
Lamont Lindsey, who identifies as Black, was one of the students who completed the first run of the program. He graduated from Heritage High School in Saginaw before moving to Detroit to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business management at Wayne State University. He graduated in 2009 and started working in property management. But about three years ago, around the time he started working for Midtown Detroit, Inc., Lindsey had beer on his mind.
“I saw a lot of breweries popping up in the Midtown Detroit area,” Lindsey said. “I wanted to know more about the process.”
When he found out that the nonprofit he was working for was collaborating on the Nain Rouge training program, he decided to apply. For three months, his Mondays were spent touring local breweries and meeting with brewmasters. One day a week, Lindsey studied the science of beer in the classroom with Emal and Wilmes for four hours. The rest of the week he was at Nain Rouge for several hours a day learning how to make beer or practicing hospitality at Smith and Co. — a restaurant Carlson owns next door to the brewery that sells Nain Rouge beer.
Lindsey said while he enjoyed the time spent in the classroom, he appreciated that the majority of the experience was hands-on.
“It’s a little difficult for me to sit and just retain information like in a classroom setting,” Lindsey said. “I always have to move around so the actual physical aspect of the job was more entertaining. It made everything else make sense.”
For the time spent in the classroom, Emal and Wilmes hope that their interactive lessons will be applicable to a successful career in the industry. Emal said the program helps circumvent the barriers that the apprenticeship model often presents to prospective minority and women brewers.
“Part of the hope is that these students will be able to much more easily walk out of this experience and into a new position somewhere,” Emal said. “The idea is that it could be this training program and that employers can start to rely on these particular students upon graduation.”
Mosey has been in contact with Lindsey and the other three graduates who recently completed the program about their future career goals. According to her, a couple of them are currently traveling the state — looking for jobs in the craft brewing industry.
“I know a number have already been pursuing further discussions on getting into the brewing industry in a variety of ways,” Mosey said.
Carlson said he’s happy to see the students pursuing career opportunities in established breweries, but he will personally not be satisfied until he’s drinking a stout with one of his former students at their own brewery.
“The end goal for us is not to train people just to get jobs,” Carlson said. “But to me, altruistically, the main goal is to help somebody open their own brewery. I’m going to feel successful once we do that.”
Lindsey, the student, said he would like to open his own brewery in Midtown. If he’s successful in starting a business, he wants to hire as many knowledgeable, diverse candidates to work alongside him as he can.
“I don’t want a cookie cutter design,” Lindsey said. “I want to do something different, something unique.”
The program is now accepting applications for the second run of the program, which will start in the coming weeks.
Besides the program, Carlson hopes to use the Nain Rouge facility to offer weekend workshops for anyone in the community who wants to learn more about brewing beer. The workshops would also help foot the cost of running the program so that low-income students can participate for free.
“Those proceeds will go to a scholarship fund so that we can keep doing this,” Carlson said.
For people like Lindsey who are looking for a way to make headway in the industry, the Nain Rouge program presents a unique opportunity, he said. With every subsequent graduating class, he hopes to see the Midtown microbrewery industry become a bit more colorful.
“The cool thing about beer is that it’s different colors, different flavors,” Lindsey said. “I think we can apply the same idea to diversify the actual business itself.”

- Novavax' vaccine is the first protein-based COVID-19 vaccine authorized in the U.S.
- Doses of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted are now available and primary series immunizations for adolescents can begin once a policy recommendation from the CDC is received
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX), a biotechnology company dedicated to developing and commercializing next-generation vaccines for serious infectious diseases, today announced that the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted (NVX-CoV2373) has received expanded emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to provide a two-dose primary series for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in adolescents aged 12 through 17.
"Having more vaccine options for use in both adults and adolescents, like the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted will hopefully help increase vaccination rates, particularly as we prepare for ongoing surges of COVID-19 with the start of fall and the back-to-school season," said Stanley C. Erck, President and Chief Executive Officer, Novavax. "We hope that our vaccine, developed using an innovative approach to recombinant protein vaccine technology, may have a special role in adolescent vaccination based on parents' and caregivers' familiarity with protein-based vaccines used in other disease areas."
The FDA EUA decision was based on data from the ongoing pediatric expansion of the Phase 3 PREVENT-19 trial of 2,247 adolescents aged 12 through 17 years across 75 sites in the U.S., to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted. In pediatric expansion, the vaccine achieved its primary efficacy endpoint with clinical efficacy of 78.29% (95% CI: 37.55%, 92.45%) overall at a time when the Delta variant was the predominant circulating SARS-CoV-2 strain in the U.S. The efficacy analysis was supported by assessment of antibody titers that were shown to be higher in adolescents than in young adults.
Safety data from the pediatric expansion showed the vaccine to be generally well-tolerated. Serious and severe adverse reactions (AR) were low in number and balanced between vaccine and placebo groups, and not considered related to the vaccine. Local and systemic reactogenicity was generally lower than or similar to adults, after the first and second dose. No new safety signal was observed through the placebo-controlled portion of the study. Among participants 12 through 17 years of age, solicited ARs following administration of any dose of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted were injection site pain/tenderness (75.0%), headache (56.9%), fatigue/malaise (57.9%), muscle pain (49.0%), nausea/vomiting (19.9%), joint pain (16.2%), fever (16.9%), injection site swelling (8.0%), and injection site redness (7.5%). Most were mild-to-moderate in severity and lasted less than two days.
The next step for the vaccine is a policy recommendation for use from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Doses of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted are available for use in adolescents upon the CDC's recommendation.
In July 2022 the U.S. FDA had granted EUA for a two-dose primary series in adults aged 18 and older, followed by a recommendation from the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and endorsement from the CDC.
This project has been supported in part with federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response; Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), through the Department of Defense Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) under contract number MCDC2011-001.

About NVX-CoV2373 (Novavax' COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted)
NVX-CoV2373 is a protein-based vaccine engineered from the genetic sequence of the first strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. The vaccine was created using Novavax' recombinant nanoparticle technology to generate antigen derived from the coronavirus spike (S) protein and is formulated with Novavax' patented saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels of neutralizing antibodies. NVX-CoV2373 contains purified protein antigen and can neither replicate, nor can it cause COVID-19.
NVX-CoV2373 is packaged as a ready-to-use liquid formulation in a vial containing ten doses. The vaccination regimen calls for two 0.5 ml doses (5 mcg antigen and 50 mcg Matrix-M adjuvant) given intramuscularly 21 days apart. The vaccine is stored at 2°- 8° Celsius, enabling the use of existing vaccine supply and cold chain channels. Use of the vaccine should be in accordance with official recommendations.
The PREVENT-19 trial of NVX-CoV2373 is being conducted with support from the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, BARDA, part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the HHS, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health at HHS. BARDA is providing up to $1.75 billion under a Department of Defense agreement (number MCDC2011-001). JPEO-CBRND is also providing funding of up to $45.7 million under a separate agreement. To date, the U.S. government has agreed to order 3.2 million doses of NVX-CoV2373 under these existing agreements. Novavax and the U.S. government will determine the timing, pricing, and amounts for delivery of any additional NVX-CoV2373 doses. Novavax intends to pursue additional U.S. procurement of both NVX-CoV2373 doses and other potential formulations.
Novavax has established partnerships for the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of NVX-CoV2373 worldwide. Existing authorizations leverage Novavax' manufacturing partnership with Serum Institute of India, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer by volume. They will later be supplemented with data from additional manufacturing sites throughout Novavax' global supply chain.
About Matrix-M™ Adjuvant
Novavax' patented saponin-based Matrix-M adjuvant has demonstrated a potent and well-tolerated effect by stimulating the entry of antigen-presenting cells into the injection site and enhancing antigen presentation in local lymph nodes, boosting immune response.

Grand jury wants Broward school board members removed over Parkland massacre
FORT LAUDERDALE - A grand jury empaneled after the 2018 Parkland school massacre has recommended that Gov. Ron DeSantis remove from office four members of the Broward County school board, saying they and district administrators displayed "deceit, malfeasance, misfeasance, neglect of duty and incompetence" in their handling of a campus safety program.
In the 122-page report released Friday, the panel recommended that DeSantis suspend board members Patricia Good, Donna Korn, Ann Murray and Laurie Rich Levinson. A former member, Rosalind Osgood, was also targeted, but she is now elected to the Florida Senate.
Levinson, the board's chairwoman, angrily slammed the report as a "political hatchet job" orchestrated by the governor.
"It is nasty partisan politics. He should be ashamed of himself," she said.
The grand jury began meeting 15 months after 14 students and three staff members were gunned down on Feb. 14. 2018, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The shooter, Nikolas Cruz, pleaded guilty in October and is now on trial to decide whether he will be sentenced to death or life without parole.
Former Broward Superintendent Robert Runcie resigned last year after he was indicted for allegedly lying to the grand jury. He has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial. The district is the nation's sixth-largest, with more than 270,000 students at 333 campuses, and an annual budget of $4 billion.
The school board has nine members, including two, Debra Hixon and Lori Alhadeff, who were elected after Hixon's husband and Alhadeff's daughter died in the Stoneman Douglas shooting. They ran on platforms promoting better campus security. Alhadeff, in particular, has frequently been at odds with the targeted members, particularly over Runcie's performance before his resignation.
The grand jury said that Runcie's and the accused board members' "uninformed or even misinformed decisions, incompetent management and lack of meaningful oversight" has led to massive cost overruns and delays in a school safety and education program approved by county voters in 2014. The report says the $1 billion program that was supposed to be completed in 2021 is now projected to cost $1.5 billion when it is finished in 2025 - estimates the jury called "wishcasting."
"This doubling of time and almost 50 percent increase in cost did not happen overnight," the grand jury wrote. "It was a slow-boiling frog that resulted from years of mismanagement from multiple (district) officials whose mistakes were compounded by the Board, which has....refused to hold (district) leadership to account."
Levinson, who is not seeking reelection as her third four-year term expires at the end of the year, said the grand jury was supposed to focus on what caused the Stoneman Douglas shooting, pointing to the victims' parents who stood with DeSantis when he announced its formation.
"It is disgusting that on the backs of these families to have a bait-and-switch grand jury," she said. "The majority of the report has nothing to do with Marjory Stoneman Douglas."
Korn said in a statement that "while I respect the grand jury process, I stand on my record," pointing to the district's high graduation rate.
The other accused school board members and Osgood did not immediately respond Friday to calls and emails seeking comment. Runcie did not return a message left on his wife's phone and his attorney did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
DeSantis fired former Broward Sheriff Scott Israel just after he took office in January 2019, saying Israel's lack of leadership contributed to the Stoneman Douglas shooting. DeSantis is a Republican, but Broward is a Democratic stronghold by a 2-to-1 margin. If the governor suspends the board members, he would appoint their replacements until the seat's next election.
"We appreciate the work of the grand jury and are reviewing the findings and recommendations at this time," said DeSantis spokesman Bryan Griffin.
Murray, like Levinson, is not seeking reelection in November, but Korn is. Good's term expires in 2024.
The grand jury report says the Broward school district seems to be more focused on how it is viewed publicly than on actual accomplishment.
"Broward County has provided a cornucopia of examples of an almost fanatical desire to control data and use it to manipulate public perception, including that surrounding safety," the grand jury wrote. Runcie and the accused board members "are seemingly obsessed with the optics of any situation and control of public impressions of their activities."
"The District produces training materials on 'Building the Brand' as though the district were all important while its students were mere commodities and instructs employees to always consider how situations might affect the perception of the District as opposed to the reality," the jury wrote.

Having a baby didn't stop us from heading off on our New York OE
After their big OE plans in 2020 were cancelled by Covid, Brooke and Jeshua Sharkey decided to move on with their lives and start a family.
They couldn’t have imagined that two years on, their daughter Clover would be about to celebrate her first birthday in New York City.
“We had a baby on the way, we were looking at buying a house,” said Brooke, 29.
“We had kind of put that whole travel dream on the backburner.”

Every year for the past four years, the couple had been entering the US green card lottery – officially known as the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program – where 55,000 permanent residency visas are made available to those from eligible countries in a random selection process.
The lottery is free to enter, and those who are successful can permanently live and work in the US.
In 2020, the Sharkeys found out they had been selected. But because then-President Donald Trump had ordered an immigration ban due to Covid, they figured it was unlikely anything would come of it.
Then in early 2021, the US resumed visa processing, and in June, the Sharkeys were invited to the consulate in Auckland for their green card interview. They were issued the visa on the spot, and had six months to activate it.
At that point, Brooke was 25 weeks pregnant. The couple faced a dilemma over whether they should settle down in New Zealand, as planned, or follow their American dream?
“We did sit down with our families – because we were potentially taking a grandchild away,” Brooke said.
“But it was like, this is kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity. So if we can make it happen, we should just go for it.”
Clover was born in September, and the couple decided they would make the move in the last week of their six-month window, so she could spend as much time with family in New Zealand as possible. In December, they were off.
The couple chose to live in New York – which Brooke admits was largely inspired by what they had seen on screen (“we’re obsessed with Friends”), though Jeshua had visited once before.
“We thought, no one regrets moving to New York – it seemed like a really cool place to live.”
While landing in the middle of winter with a young baby was challenging, Brooke says it wasn’t quite as hard as they had expected. One bonus was they had little trouble finding an apartment in the popular borough of Brooklyn, because the city had emptied out for Christmas.
Moving over straight from Auckland’s lockdown meant they were already used to caring for Clover without a lot of support, Brooke said.
“Some people ask, is it hard not having family around to babysit and help you out, but we haven’t known too different.”
Brooke said they are fortunate to have a “very flexible” work arrangement that enables them to share parenting duties. Both work remotely for the same New Zealand-based company – Jeshua as a web designer, and Brooke doing social media and customer support – and are able to choose their own hours.
“We could get jobs here but we love the flexibility of this New Zealand company we’re working for. It means we can go out most days... sometimes we’ll take the subway into the city and go to Washington Square Park during Jesh’s lunch break, and I’ll hang out with Clover, and he’ll go work in a cafe.”
The only downside is being paid in New Zealand dollars, which don’t go as far when converted into USD.
“The cost of living is hard. But we justify it as, hey, it’s New York, you kind of expect it to be more expensive.”
Brooke, who documents their daily life on TikTok, said they love the lifestyle offered by the city, being able to get around easily by foot or public transport, with a new coffee shop, restaurant, museum exhibition or pop-up event to discover every day.
She’s also had no trouble making friends with fellow parents in the neighbourhood.
“Not knowing anyone, I’ve had to put myself out there a bit. I started out with posting in a local neighbourhood Facebook group, and asked if anyone had babies the same age as mine, and started a little weekly playgroup in the park. It’s grown to be 20 people now.
“We hang out in the park every week, but we also hang out outside of that, and get drinks together. It’s been key to feeling more at home here.”
Brooke said the best thing about living in the US is feeling like they’re travelling all the time, whether that be crossing the bridge and exploring Manhattan, heading to Washington, D.C or Philadelphia, or flying to another state – they’ve had recent holidays in Dallas, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee.
“There’s so many cool places – each state feels like a different country.”
While the green card allows them to stay indefinitely, they plan to take things year by year. They’ll be coming back to New Zealand for Christmas to catch up with family, and after that plan to return to New York for at least another year.
“We’re really curious to see how we feel after going back to New Zealand – if we’ll miss New York while we’re there, or if we’ll miss family and friends once we come back.”
But Brooke said they’re glad they decided to take the plunge and make the move when they did.
“Moving overseas with a kid or travelling with a kid is not as big and crazy as people might think," she said.
“The value in making these kinds of memories and having these kinds of experiences is so great... I still have moments every week where I’m like, ‘I can’t believe I actually live in New York’.”
As for Clover, when she turns one next month, the well-travelled tot will have already checked off some iconic Big Apple experiences.
“I’m like ‘wow, you’ve got such a cool life, you’ve been up the Empire State Building, and at Central Park every weekend’,” Brooke said.
“She comes along for all the adventures.” | https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/kiwi-traveller/129596844/having-a-baby-didnt-stop-us-from-heading-off-on-our-new-york-oe | 2022-08-19T23:36:56Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/kiwi-traveller/129596844/having-a-baby-didnt-stop-us-from-heading-off-on-our-new-york-oe | false | 1 |
Oftentimes, except for the elite of the elite QBs, a QB is only as good as his supporting cast. In recent years, we’ve seen how important surrounding a young QB with talent is, especially at WR and TE. Teams want to make things easy on their QB so his development can occur as linearly as possible, while also isolating the variable to see if their QB is the guy. Weapons have also arguably become more important than OLinemen, mainly due to the Ja’Marr Chase vs Penei Sewell debate from 2021. So which teams are set up best in this department in 2022? And how do the Chicago Bears stack up against the rest of the league? | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2706246569864/bears-first-showing-points-toward-progress | 2022-08-19T23:42:04Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2706246569864/bears-first-showing-points-toward-progress | false | null |
“How old is 75?” Loudon Wainwright III asks near the end of his new album, Lifetime Achievement. There’s a rickety banjo strumming in the background as he answers his own rhetorical question: “So old you’re barely alive”. It lands like a punchline, but Wainwright tempers that levity with an almost unbearable gravity. On the verses to “How Old Is 75?” he notes that he’s already outlived his mother by one year and Loudon II by 13. What does that signify? Nothing really. It’s just the math of mortality, which measures the quantity but not the quality of years: “With our allotted amounts, what gets done is what counts”, he sings over strings that quiver and quake. “Was it time wasted or was it well spent?”
It’s not necessarily a new sentiment, but Wainwright delivers it in a way that makes it sound like wisdom passed down from generation to generation, from artist to listener. And what has he done with his own allotted amount? A lot, it turns out. In addition to landing memorable roles in films (The Aviator, Knocked Up) and sitcoms (M*A*S*H, Parks & Recreation), he has released 31 studio albums in just over 50 years and penned thousands of songs, one of which was a hit (1972’s “Dead Skunk”) and one of which remains perfect (1973’s “The Swimming Song”). Even more than any of the other so-called “new Dylans” of the late ’60s and early ’70s, Wainwright defined himself as a writer both profoundly funny and profoundly sad, who often uses a joke to convey the tragedy of a situation.
That ability has made him such a vital artist so late in his life; he was something like an old man even when he was young, so he takes to the subject of ageing with grace and insight. He tested these waters on 2012’s Older Than My Old Man, but Lifetime Achievement embraces the folksier elements of his sound, paring the music down to guitar, banjo, occasionally a harmonica and even more occasionally a full band. Working with a crew of old friends and collaborators, Wainwright arranges these songs with just one or two instruments, which gives them a delicacy that can be wistful (“Fun & Free”), weirdly humorous (the playfully austere “It”), or heart-wrenching (“It Takes 2”). He delivers “One Wish” a cappella, with no other instrument obscuring the grain or the keening arc of his voice. He’s lost little power over the years, even if the song is about struggling to blow out his many, many birthday candles.
But Lifetime Achievement isn’t an album about growing old. Or, it’s not only an album about growing old. Without sounding curmudgeonly or misanthropic, Wainwright continues to write about his own alienation from other people, including and especially his own loved ones. Sometimes he has fun with it: “I need a family vacation, I mean a family vacation alone”, he sings on the Tolstoy– and Sartre-quoting “Fam Vac”, extolling the simple pleasure of “leaving the fucking family at home!” It would sound mean-spirited if they didn’t need a vacation from him, too. Age makes that alienation more acute, as though he’s uncomfortable wherever he is. On the motormouthed “Town & Country”, which swings like Mose Allison, he recounts a trip to New York and discovers that the hubbub that used to excite him now just frays his nerves. That song slides tidily into “Island”, which he wrote 40 years ago but only just now got around to recording. “Back on the mainland they’re going crazy, I’m too old for that insanity”, he sings, but also notes the tedium of island life. Is it a haven away from the hubbub, or a hell of boredom? Probably a little of both.
What age does offer him, however, is a new perspective on his life. Lifetime Achievement is an album about identifying and appreciating the things that are most important, that make life in the city or on the island worthwhile. For Wainwright, it’s family. It’s loved ones. It might even be us, his listeners. On the title track he surveys his shelves full of trophies and walls heavy with every award imaginable: “Trophies on my mantelpiece, citations on my wall”, he sings over a country two-step, “but who needs cash and prizes? What I achieved is you”. He never really says who “you” is. It might be a love song to his girlfriend, a fatherly ode to his kids, or maybe a paean to his fans. But that only makes his declaration sound all the more poignant, as though Wainwright is still figuring it all out while the clock ticks down. | https://www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/album/loudon-wainwright-iii-lifetime-achievement-139633/ | 2022-08-19T23:48:39Z | https://www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/album/loudon-wainwright-iii-lifetime-achievement-139633/ | false | 2 |

Josh Sargent double gives Norwich victory over Millwall
By PA Staff published
Josh Sargent was the hero as Norwich beat Millwall 2-0 to make it two Sky Bet Championship wins at Carrow Road in the space of four days.
The in-form frontman followed up his goal against Huddersfield on Tuesday night with a well-taken second half double as the Canaries took another big step forward after a poor start to the campaign.
Bottom after three games, Norwich moved into the top six ahead of the weekend fixtures as a result of a deserved win and are beginning to look like the promotion challengers they were expected to be at the start of the season.
Millwall battled bravely but did not look capable of getting back into the game once they had gone behind just after the break.
Dean Smith’s side started brightly, although they struggled to create clear-cut chances against resolute visitors.
Kenny McLean might have done better with an early header from a Danel Sinani corner, while Sargent’s glancing header from a Marcelino Nunez cross was not too far wide.
But Bartosz Bialkowski in the Lions’ goal was largely untroubled and as the half wore on the Canaries lost their sparkle, giving Millwall a chance to get into dangerous positions on a couple of occasions, with George Honeyman and Benik Afobe both off target with headers.
While Norwich’s football had been pleasing on the eye in the opening period, there had been a distinct lack of goalmouth excitement and the hosts were quick to up their tempo after the break.
They were rewarded in the 50th minute when Sargent played an exquisite one two with Sinani just inside the box, after being picked out by Kieran Dowell, and lashed the ball past Bialkowski to break the deadlock in emphatic fashion.
Nunez then curled a free-kick narrowly wide after Sargent had been upended just outside the box, before the lively striker charged down an attempted clearance from Bialkowski and almost tucked away the loose ball.
Millwall weathered the storm and fought hard for an equaliser but were largely kept at arm’s length by a compact Norwich side who deservedly doubled their advantage 15 minutes from time.
Again it was Sargent who did the damage, this time from a swift breakaway as high clearance fell for Dowell, who calmly slid in his in-form colleague to steer the ball past the exposed Bialkowski.
Afobe flicked a Murray Wallace header just over from a corner for the visitors, while a piledriver from substitute Andreas Voglsammer was tipped onto the crossbar by Tim Krul, but the impressive Canaries had few problems seeing the game out.
Earlier, the Canaries had announced plans for a general meeting next month, with Mark Attanasio – an American businessman and principal owner of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team – set to become a new director.

- Novavax' vaccine is the first protein-based COVID-19 vaccine authorized in the U.S.
- Doses of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted are now available and primary series immunizations for adolescents can begin once a policy recommendation from the CDC is received
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX), a biotechnology company dedicated to developing and commercializing next-generation vaccines for serious infectious diseases, today announced that the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted (NVX-CoV2373) has received expanded emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to provide a two-dose primary series for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in adolescents aged 12 through 17.
"Having more vaccine options for use in both adults and adolescents, like the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted will hopefully help increase vaccination rates, particularly as we prepare for ongoing surges of COVID-19 with the start of fall and the back-to-school season," said Stanley C. Erck, President and Chief Executive Officer, Novavax. "We hope that our vaccine, developed using an innovative approach to recombinant protein vaccine technology, may have a special role in adolescent vaccination based on parents' and caregivers' familiarity with protein-based vaccines used in other disease areas."
The FDA EUA decision was based on data from the ongoing pediatric expansion of the Phase 3 PREVENT-19 trial of 2,247 adolescents aged 12 through 17 years across 75 sites in the U.S., to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted. In pediatric expansion, the vaccine achieved its primary efficacy endpoint with clinical efficacy of 78.29% (95% CI: 37.55%, 92.45%) overall at a time when the Delta variant was the predominant circulating SARS-CoV-2 strain in the U.S. The efficacy analysis was supported by assessment of antibody titers that were shown to be higher in adolescents than in young adults.
Safety data from the pediatric expansion showed the vaccine to be generally well-tolerated. Serious and severe adverse reactions (AR) were low in number and balanced between vaccine and placebo groups, and not considered related to the vaccine. Local and systemic reactogenicity was generally lower than or similar to adults, after the first and second dose. No new safety signal was observed through the placebo-controlled portion of the study. Among participants 12 through 17 years of age, solicited ARs following administration of any dose of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted were injection site pain/tenderness (75.0%), headache (56.9%), fatigue/malaise (57.9%), muscle pain (49.0%), nausea/vomiting (19.9%), joint pain (16.2%), fever (16.9%), injection site swelling (8.0%), and injection site redness (7.5%). Most were mild-to-moderate in severity and lasted less than two days.
The next step for the vaccine is a policy recommendation for use from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Doses of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted are available for use in adolescents upon the CDC's recommendation.
In July 2022 the U.S. FDA had granted EUA for a two-dose primary series in adults aged 18 and older, followed by a recommendation from the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and endorsement from the CDC.
This project has been supported in part with federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response; Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), through the Department of Defense Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) under contract number MCDC2011-001.

About NVX-CoV2373 (Novavax' COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted)
NVX-CoV2373 is a protein-based vaccine engineered from the genetic sequence of the first strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. The vaccine was created using Novavax' recombinant nanoparticle technology to generate antigen derived from the coronavirus spike (S) protein and is formulated with Novavax' patented saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels of neutralizing antibodies. NVX-CoV2373 contains purified protein antigen and can neither replicate, nor can it cause COVID-19.
NVX-CoV2373 is packaged as a ready-to-use liquid formulation in a vial containing ten doses. The vaccination regimen calls for two 0.5 ml doses (5 mcg antigen and 50 mcg Matrix-M adjuvant) given intramuscularly 21 days apart. The vaccine is stored at 2°- 8° Celsius, enabling the use of existing vaccine supply and cold chain channels. Use of the vaccine should be in accordance with official recommendations.
The PREVENT-19 trial of NVX-CoV2373 is being conducted with support from the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, BARDA, part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the HHS, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health at HHS. BARDA is providing up to $1.75 billion under a Department of Defense agreement (number MCDC2011-001). JPEO-CBRND is also providing funding of up to $45.7 million under a separate agreement. To date, the U.S. government has agreed to order 3.2 million doses of NVX-CoV2373 under these existing agreements. Novavax and the U.S. government will determine the timing, pricing, and amounts for delivery of any additional NVX-CoV2373 doses. Novavax intends to pursue additional U.S. procurement of both NVX-CoV2373 doses and other potential formulations.
Novavax has established partnerships for the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of NVX-CoV2373 worldwide. Existing authorizations leverage Novavax' manufacturing partnership with Serum Institute of India, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer by volume. They will later be supplemented with data from additional manufacturing sites throughout Novavax' global supply chain.
About Matrix-M™ Adjuvant
Novavax' patented saponin-based Matrix-M adjuvant has demonstrated a potent and well-tolerated effect by stimulating the entry of antigen-presenting cells into the injection site and enhancing antigen presentation in local lymph nodes, boosting immune response.

Missouri’s sweeping elections law will soon face two lawsuits challenging its constitutionality.
The law, like many passed by the legislature this year and signed into law by Gov. Mike Parson, is set to go into effect on Aug. 28.
Meeting during several days in Jefferson City, a collaboration including Missouri Faith Voices, the NAACP and labor leaders say they intend to fight the law through not only litigation, but also by still getting out the vote despite the changes they said will make it more difficult to cast a ballot.
“The reality is that hundreds of thousands of Missourians will be left without the ability to participate in the democracy that they pay into in the form of their taxes, in the state that they live in communities where we grow our children, where we go to work and where we pray,” said Nimrod Chapel Jr., president of the Missouri NAACP.
According to Denise Lieberman, director and general counsel of the Missouri Voter Protection Coalition, the lawsuits will be filed next week. She says they will also be seeking an expedited review and a preliminary injunction to stop the law from going into effect while the case is underway.
One of the lawsuits will be against the portion of the law requiring a government-issued photo-ID to vote. The other will be against measures included within the law concerning voter registration and other engagement processes, such as making it illegal to be paid for registering people to vote.
“This measure will effectively silence and starve voter registration activity in the state of Missouri by organizations who work with communities who are already marginalized,” Lieberman said.
Lieberman says the law’s broad scope warrants multiple lawsuits.
“We are bringing these cases both on behalf of voters who stand to be impacted and harmed by the photo-ID provisions as well as the civic engagement organizations that stand to have those activities criminalized,” Lieberman said.
In addition to the litigation, the Rev. Darryl Gray, executive director of Missouri Faith Voices, said in the meantime, they intend to continue voting engagement. That includes the establishment of more photo-ID assistant sites.
“Our job is to basically get the people in these places so that the Voter Protection Coalition and other organizations can help to get those documents,” Gray said.
Gray says they did receive a commitment from Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft to provide members of his staff to go to these assistant sites to help with that process as well as providing financial assistance for people to get the documents they need.
Despite those commitments and meeting with them, Gray said they made their positions clear with Ashcroft.
“We made it very clear to him that we disagree with him. We're glad he came, but we still disagree,” Gray said.
Ashcroft has joined fellow Republicans in repeatedly speaking in support of the law. Many of the additions to the bill, Ashcroft said, makes voting in Missouri more secure than before, such as banning private dollars from going to election authorities and giving Ashcroft’s office the authority to audit voter rolls to ensure their accuracy.
At the time of his signing of the law, Parson said it was probably one of the most important pieces of legislation the state has passed in a long time.
Besides the photo-ID assistant sites, the coalition said they will also continue to register people to vote, increase voter participation within their communities and congregations and distribute a toolkit they created to help faith leaders to accomplish these tasks.

Kansas anti-abortion activists scramble to cover $229K cost of abortion amendment recount
Melissa Leavitt appears Monday in a video she posted on TikTok about her request for a statewide recount of the vote on constitutional amendment on abortion. The Kansas Secretary of State's Office set a 5 p.m. Monday deadline for the Colby woman to secure the $229,000 required to move ahead with a statewide recount. (Kansas Reflector screen capture from TikTok)
TOPEKA — Anti-abortion activist Mark Gietzen expressed confidence Monday that $229,000 would be secured to finance a hand recount of more than 920,000 votes cast statewide on a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution restricting the right to abortion.
The Kansas Secretary of State’s Office set a 5 p.m. Monday deadline for delivery of cash, check or credit card with a sufficient line of credit to proceed with the county-by-county recount sought by supporters of the amendment disappointed by the initial outcome. The amendment fell short in the Aug. 2 primary election by a landslide margin of 59% to 41%.
Gietzen, chairman of the Kansas Coalition for Life in Wichita and a prominent participant in anti-abortion protests in Wichita for more than 30 years, said he would pick up the torch of the recount effort launched by Colby resident Melissa Leavitt.
“There are an abundance of resources to get this done,” Gietzen said.
Gietzen also alleged — without evidence — the Kansas election earlier this month was distorted by “massive” election fraud through “ballot harvesting.” He asserted people illegally obtained, filled out and deposited ballots in drop boxes. He had filed a lawsuit in Sedgwick County before the August primary in an attempt to stop use of drop boxes, but it was tossed by a judge.
Gietzen said the recount of votes on the amendment in all 105 counties would be conducted “unless we get screwed over by the secretary of state.”
Originally, Gietzen offered a credit card of a conservative political organization to leverage the recount. Leavitt later she was grateful Gietzen agreed to “put his home up for the recount,” but encouraged others to continue donating to the cause.
Leavitt informed the Secretary of State’s Office at 4 a.m. Monday that Gietzen’s assets would be sufficient to cover a recount.
In a setback for the recount campaign, however, Leavitt was notified that she couldn’t rely on the value of Gietzen’s home to finance the recount.
Under state law, the person requesting the recount must file a bond, approved by the secretary of state, guaranteeing payment of all costs incurred by counties conducting a recount.
Leavitt had until end of the business Monday to personally secure a pathway to $229,000 required to proceed with the challenge. Through an online fundraiser, Leavitt had received commitments of $40,000 from 600 donors.
“Failure to do so will result in the recount request being cancelled,” said Brian Caskey, director of elections for Secretary of State Scott Schwab.
In the alternative, Caskey said, Leavitt could amend her recount request to isolate the review to counties for which she could afford to pay the cost.
Ashley All, spokeswoman for the amendment opponent organization Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, said basis for the hypothetical recount was unclear.
“Kansans across the political spectrum voted overwhelmingly against this amendment,” All said. “In fact, 165,000 more Kansans voted ‘no.’ They sent a clear message that they want to protect the constitutional rights of women to make private medical decisions for themselves.”
Leavitt said she would continue to pray a miracle occurred in terms of advancing recount on the failed abortion amendment.
“What else can you do when you take a leap of faith? I don’t know,” she said on a social media thread. “I’m getting a lot of hate messages and stuff like that, but so far I’m doing OK and we’re going to keep pushing.”
On Monday, officials in Johnson, Shawnee and Sedgwick counties worked to certify election election results. That included votes for and against the constitutional amendment, which was sought to nullify a decision by the Kansas Supreme Court that a right to abortion existed in the Kansas Constitution.

U.S. Bancorp (USB) Stock Moves -0.82%: What You Should Know
U.S. Bancorp (USB) closed the most recent trading day at $48.61, moving -0.82% from the previous trading session. This move was narrower than the S&P 500's daily loss of 1.29%. Meanwhile, the Dow lost 0.86%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, lost 0.46%.
Coming into today, shares of the company had gained 2.94% in the past month. In that same time, the Finance sector gained 11.45%, while the S&P 500 gained 11.99%.
U.S. Bancorp will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. On that day, U.S. Bancorp is projected to report earnings of $1.17 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 10%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $6.26 billion, up 6.79% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.46 per share and revenue of $24.51 billion. These totals would mark changes of -12.55% and +7.87%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for U.S. Bancorp. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 0.79% higher. U.S. Bancorp currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Digging into valuation, U.S. Bancorp currently has a Forward P/E ratio of 10.98. This represents a premium compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 10.8.
Investors should also note that USB has a PEG ratio of 1.69 right now.

FRIERSON, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Louisiana State Police have identified the Shreveport woman killed in a crash on Thursday evening in De Soto Parish.
State police are investigating the single-vehicle crash that killed 54-year-old Tracey Shaver on I-49, just north of La. Highway 157 before 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Shaver was traveling with a passenger, heading north on I-49 in a 2013 Ford F-150, when she exited the roadway and struck a bridge. The pickup truck overturned and the passenger was thrown from the vehicle.
Both the driver and the passenger were taken to Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport where Shaver was later pronounced dead. Officers say due to the extent of damage to the pickup, they do not know if restraints were used by Shaver or the passenger.
Police say the crash is still under investigation and impairment is not suspected to be a factor in the crash. Routine toxicology samples were taken and submitted for analysis.
LSP Troop G has investigated 23 fatal crashes resulting in 24 deaths in 2022. | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/local-news/shreveport-woman-killed-in-de-soto-parish-crash/ | 2022-08-20T00:32:27Z | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/local-news/shreveport-woman-killed-in-de-soto-parish-crash/ | true | 1 |

There’s more at stake than who goes to Washington this November.
In communities across the Inland Empire, voters on Nov. 8 will decide who represents them in the House of Representatives and they’ll make their choices for local offices such as city councils and school boards. Many voters will have decisions to make on local measures, as well.
An advisory measure that would permit the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors to investigate all options to get the county’s fair share of resources, “up to and including secession” from the state, is getting attention but voters in some communities will also decide whether to raise taxes, impose caps on vacation rentals, approve a school bond and more.
Here’s a look at selected measures referred to voters in Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties:
City of Big Bear Lake
Vacation rentals: Measure O would cap the number of vacation rental licenses to 1,500 and limit property owners to 30 vacation rental contracts per year. Currently, the city has about 2,600 vacation rental licenses, which under the measure would expire when a property is sold or transferred. The cap would prevent the city from approving new licenses until they fall below the 1,500 threshold. Under the measure, except for those already approved, businesses would be prohibited from obtaining licenses and no person or personal/family trust would be allowed to have more than one license. A simple majority is needed to approve the measure.
Hotel tax: Measure P would increase the maximum transient occupancy tax, or hotel tax, from 8% to 9% effective Jan. 1, 2024, and from 9% to 10% on Jan. 1, 2025. The tax is charged to operators of lodging businesses. The measure would give the City Council authority to adjust the tax rate without voter approval so long as it does not exceed the maximum rate. The higher rates are expected to generate an additional $1.3 million in hotel tax revenue each year to support general city services. The measure passes with 50% of the vote, plus one vote.
Claremont
Cannabis tax: The measure would tax cannabis and hemp businesses 4% to 7% of gross receipts for retail businesses, and the higher of 1% to 4% of gross receipts or $1 to $10 per square foot for other businesses, generating an estimated $500,000 annually if cannabis and hemp businesses were to be authorized in the future.
Colton
Sales tax: Measure G Would increase the sales tax by 1% to provide an estimated $9.5 million annually to support the city’s general fund. Specifically, the additional revenue is intended to support such services as law enforcement patrols, 911 emergency response, and parks and sidewalks maintenance. The measure passes with 50% of the vote, plus one vote.
Corona
Cannabis tax: Measure G would tax commercial cannabis businesses up to 9% of gross receipts for retail sale, up to 7% of gross receipts for manufacturing and distribution, up to 3% of gross receipts for testing laboratories and up to 15% of gross receipts for other commercial cannabis businesses. It is expected to generate about $5 million a year for general use, including as police and emergency response, community services and street repairs.
Grand Terrace
Hotel tax: Measure M would establish a transient occupancy tax, or hotel tax, with a maximum rate of 10% of the rent charged by an operator of a lodging business. The measure gives the City Council authority to set the rate by resolution, as long as it does not exceed the voter-approved maximum rate. Depending on the rate enacted by the council, the tax is expected to generate $10,000 to $250,000 in revenues annually to support general city services. The measure passes with 50% of the vote, plus one vote.
Montclair
Cannabis tax: Measure R would tax commercial cannabis businesses a maximum 7% of gross receipts for cultivation, laboratory testing, retail sales, distribution and manufacturing. Under the measure, the initial rate would be set at zero until cannabis business are allowed to operate legally in the city. If enacted, the tax would generate an estimated $3.5 million annually to support general city services. The measure passes with 50% of the vote, plus one vote.
Cannabis operations: Measure II, an advisory measure, seeks voter feedback on whether the city should consider legalizing and licensing commercial cannabis businesses.
Ontario
Sales tax: Measure Q would increase the sales tax from 7.75% to 8.75%, generating an estimated $95 million annually to be used for general city services such as police and fire, parks and recreation, local drinking water, and initiatives to address homelessness and mental health issues. The measure passes with 50% of the vote, plus one vote.
Pomona
Industrial tax: The measure would tax industrial properties 15 cents per square foot to generate up to $14 million annually to address road improvements due to the acceleration of road damage caused by heavy truck trips. The measure passes with two-thirds approval by voters.
Redlands
Warehouse tax: Measure J would increase the business license tax for distribution centers from 4.7 cents per square foot of gross area to 10.5 cents per square foot, generating an additional $530,000 annually to defray the costs of providing city services and supplement the city’s general fund. The measure requires a simple majority to pass.
Transit villages: Measure F would amend the city’s General Plan to include specifications on building heights in various planned developments along the upcoming Redlands passenger rail line. The measure would, among other things, limit the height of buildings near downtown and university rail stations to three stories, and limit buildings near the Alabama, California and New York street stations to four stories.
Rialto
School bond: Measure A would authorize a $340 million bond to upgrade Rialto Unified School District fire and safety systems, replace drinking water pipes and leaky roofs, remove asbestos and lead paint, and upgrade science, engineering, math, arts and vocational classrooms. The bond would levy 6 cents per $100 of assessed valuation on taxable properties through 2060. The measure requires approval by 55% of voters to pass.
San Bernardino County
Secession/fair share: Measure EE, an advisory measure, asks voters if they want the Board of Supervisors to study and advocate for “all options” to obtain the county’s “fair share” of funding from the state, “up to and including secession from the State of California.”
Supervisor pay/term limits: Measure D would reset term limits, capping supervisors at three four-year terms, and increase the salary cap for supervisors to about $180,000 a year. The measure would override Measure K, approved by voters in 2020, which limited supervisors to a single four-year term and capped their salaries at $60,000. The new measure would change the threshold to put a tax measure before voters, requiring a four-fifths vote of the board to refer a tax. Currently, only a three-fifths vote of the board is required to refer a tax measure. Measure D passes with 50% of the vote, plus one vote.
Upland
Sales tax: Measure L would increase the sales tax from 7.75% to 8.75% to generate an additional $16 million annually to support general city services such as public safety, roads and infrastructure, parks and efforts to address homelessness. The measure passes with 50% of the vote, plus one vote.

Police in east Iceland are investigating a potential reindeer poaching case, reports RÚV.
It is suspected that illegal reindeer hunting occurred in Jökuldalsheiði last month. Chief Superintendent of the Police in East Iceland, Kristján Ólafur Guðnason, says that three weeks ago police received a tip about men who were believed to be hunting reindeer without a permit.
The investigation is ongoing and CCTV camera footage and other evidence is being collected.
Three men have already been questioned. As of now, no more information can be released about the ongoing investigation.
Interestingly, reindeer are not native to Iceland. They were imported from Norway in the 1700s, and have been hunted for sport ever since. The Icelandic government maintains very strict regulations for when and how many reindeer may be hunted, in order to maintain the population, thus making a poaching a serious crime.

Authorities in New Zealand say the human remains found in suitcases that a family bought as part of a storage unit auction online belonged to two children.
At a press conference, New Zealand Police Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua said Thursday that they were working on identifying the children, who they believe had been dead “a number of years,” The Washington Post reported.
Vaaelua said the children were likely between the ages of 5 and 10, the New York Times reported.
The Counties Manukau Police said they were alerted about the discovery by the unsuspected family on Aug. 11 after they went through the suitcases back at their residence.
The newspapers reported that during the press conference, Vaaelua said the suitcases had been in the storage center for three or four years before the family purchased them.
Police said they the family who made the discovery were not involved in the incident, the newspapers reported.
Police said they are investigating the incident as a homicide.
Police said they were working with Interpol, the newspapers reported. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/police-remains-found-in-suitcases-by-new-zealand-family-were-of-2-children | 2022-08-20T00:43:50Z | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/police-remains-found-in-suitcases-by-new-zealand-family-were-of-2-children | false | 13 |

Planning appeal postponed as Chichester venue not big enough
A planning appeal due to hear arguments for and against 200 homes in the Chidham & Hambrook parish was postponed before it had even begun.
Chichester District Council refused Pallant Homes planning permission for two sites off Broad Road and Drift Lane in Oct 2021, but the developer appealed against the decision.
A ten-day public inquiry, where a planning inspector would hear the arguments for and against the applications, was due to start yesterday (Thursday August 18).
But it soon became clear the room booked for the start of the appeal at the Chichester Harbour Hotel, was not big enough to accommodate the number of people who turned up to watch proceedings.
Most Popular
It was estimated at least 120 members of the public, arriving by bike, car and on the Bourne Bus from Chidham & Hambrook and the neighbouring parishes overwhelmed the inquiry room, showing the strength of opposition to the homes.
After an hour of deliberation, the government-appointed inspector Christina Downes apologised to all attendees, but said that the circumstances meant the inquiry had to be delayed until January 2023.
Jane Towers vice chair of Chidham & Hambrook Parish Council, said: “We were overwhelmed by the number of residents who turned up to support our opposition to these planning proposals. It clearly shows the strength of feeling against building 200 houses on high grade agricultural land in a location loved for its wildlife, long-distance views to the South Downs and proximity to Chichester Harbour. We believe the harms would be significant and so do our residents.”
Andrew Kerry-Bedell, Lib Dem county councillor for Bourne, added: “Government Planning Policy is a fiasco and needs a complete overhaul. Even though the council and residents clearly proved this development failed planning policy and was refused last October, developers get to appeal at any time for free.
"The Government’s aim is houses first, infrastructure second, with a complete lack of thought to basics such as road and sewage capacity. It’s a set-up that gives developers rights over residents every time, yet still has poor new home environmental standards, puts far too much new housing in all the wrong places, and ends up with unaffordable housing for local people.” | https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/politics/planning-appeal-postponed-as-chichester-venue-not-big-enough-3812549 | 2022-08-20T01:08:10Z | https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/politics/planning-appeal-postponed-as-chichester-venue-not-big-enough-3812549 | true | 1 |

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Adam Scott felt he was playing well enough that he should start seeing some better scores at some point. That moment appears to have arrived at just the right time.
Scott put together another tidy round Friday except for one hole — a double bogey on the 17th — for a 2-under 69 that gave him a one-shot lead going into the weekend at the BMW Championship.
Masters champion Scottie Scheffler opened with three straight birdies and then cooled for 67, while Jordan Spieth's hopes for a bogey-free round ended by a few inches when his tee shot caught the sticky first cut instead of the fairway. His bogey gave him a 67.
They were one shot behind, along with Cameron Young (68) and Corey Conners (67).
Scott, who was at 8-under 134, wasn't sure how much golf would be on is plate in August. He was No. 77 in the FedEx Cup, not assured of even making it to the BMW Championship, until a tie for fifth last week in the FedEx Cup playoffs opener.
That was enough of a spark, and now he's looking to cash in as one of the top 30 players who make it to the FedEx Cup finale next week in Atlanta for the Tour Championship.
“I’m in great shape going into the weekend. I don’t even know when the last time I led a tournament was,” Scott said.
He won at Riviera in 2020. His last 36-hole lead was at Doral for a World Golf Championship in 2016, which he went on to win.
“I certainly haven’t had my best stuff for quite a while. It’s been a battle for sure,” he said. “But that’s how this game is. I’d like to make the most of this position now over the next 36 holes.”
A brief look behind would remind him it won't be easy, and the Australian knows this.
Spieth has looked solid over two days at Wilmington Country Club, with only one bogey in each round. He missed the cut last week and feels his postseason didn't start until Monday when he arrived at Wilmington. That's not just about trying to erase a bad memory.
Spieth headed to southern tip of Baja California after the British Open, wanting a break before the hectic finish to the season. One problem. Upon returning to Dallas, every course he plays was closed, and his only option was hitting from a stall in a practice facility.
Only when he arrived in Tennessee last week did he realize his swing had stayed on vacation, and his coach wasn't available to join him until Delaware. He turned it around quickly.
“I feel like I’m doing everything good, nothing spectacular, but I feel like in every facet of my game, it’s trending and improving, and I know what to do to get it better and better,” Spieth said. “Certainly feels really good. Coming into the weekend, it’s a good opportunity to just have a lot of trust, focus on trying to win this golf tournament, not think about next week.”
Scheffler also missed the cut last week and joined Spieth and others at Pine Valley on Sunday. And then he opened with three short birdies, didn't make too many mistakes the rest of the way and will be in the final group with Scott on Saturday.
Conner is at No. 29 and is in a great spot to protect his position for East Lake. Young seems to play great every week — twice contending in majors, five runner-up finishes for the season. One win would tick a lot of boxes on his list of goals.
Xander Schauffele holed out with a wedge on the 17th hole for an eagle and a 69, and he was in he group two shots behind that included defending champion Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy, who chipped in for birdie on his final hole for another 68.
Scott didn't get a finish quite that good. He was sailing along on a warm, breezy afternoon when he pushed his tee shot near a tree. The lie was clean, but his punch shot toward the fairway hung up in rough. From there he didn't reach the green or get up-and-down, and all that meant a double bogey.
“It’s a good reminder for the weekend that I’ve really got to keep it under control and don’t want to have too many get off the map and get out of position around here,” Scott said.

Montenegrin government falls over ties with Serbian Church
PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) - The Montenegrin government fell in a no-confidence vote early Saturday that followed a rift over relations with the powerful Serbian Orthodox Church.
Lawmakers voted 50-1 to oust the government of Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic just weeks after he signed an agreement regulating the position of the Serbian church in Montenegro.
The issue is sensitive for many in the small Balkan nation of 620,000 people that split from its much bigger neighbor Serbia in 2006. The Serbian Orthodox Church enjoys the biggest following in Montenegro, but the nation is divided over the church's dominant role and the country's ties to Serbia.
Critics have argued there was no need for a special deal with the Serbian church separate from other religious communities. Pro-Western groups in Montenegro also have described the agreement as a tool for Serbia and Russia to increase their influence in Montenegro amid the war in Ukraine.
Abazovic has defended the agreement as the way to put behind the long-standing church dispute over its property and other rights in Montenegro, and focus on other important issues.
It was not immediately clear whether the fall of the government would lead to snap parliamentary elections or if the parties would try to form a new govening coalition.
Political bickering in Montenegro has blocked progress toward integration into the European Union. Montenegro in 2017 defied its former ally Russia to become a member of NATO. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11128951/Montenegrin-government-falls-ties-Serbian-Church.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-20T01:11:31Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11128951/Montenegrin-government-falls-ties-Serbian-Church.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 9 |

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A five-year review by U.S. officials has determined that Endangered Species Act protections for ocean-going salmon and steelhead that reproduce in the Snake River and its Idaho tributaries must stay in effect.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s fisheries division review made public Thursday found that steelhead, spring and summer chinook, sockeye and fall chinook that return to Idaho in rivers from the Pacific Ocean still need their federal protections.
The protections include limits on fishing, restrictions on how much water can be used for irrigation, pollution controls for industries and dam operations on the Columbia and Snake rivers.
The review said that threats from climate change increase the urgency of completing recommended fish recovery actions — including improving fish passage at hydropower dams, restoring their habitats, controlling predators and changing hatchery practices.
Of the four species that return to Idaho, sockeye salmon are considered the most imperiled and were classified as endangered in 1991. The fish reproduces in high mountain lakes in central Idaho and they teetered on extinction for much of the 1990s.
An elaborate hatchery program operated by the Idaho Department of Fish and game that tracks the genetic history of individual fish is aimed at restoring the species.
But the population of the sockeye salmon has not improved much since it was listed as endangered, the review said. The species remains “at high risk of extinction” amid challenges from climate change, a lack of food in oceans blamed on water warming and because of sea lion predation.
Snake River spring and summer chinook, classified as threatened in 1992, include fish populations in part of the Snake River and in Washington state in the Tucannon, Grande Ronde and Imnaha rivers. The fish are also deemed threatened in parts of Idaho’s Salmon River.
Historically, the fish spawned in Idaho areas that they can no longer reach, including above the Hells Canyon Dam and parts of the Clearwater River basin, the federal review said.
“Overall, the information analyzed for this 5-year review indicates an increased level of concern in the risk status” for the fish, researchers wrote.
The researchers cited declining population trends and that no fish populations are reaching a minimum threshold set by the Interior Columbia Technical Recovery Team. The team works to interpret information related to fish recovery.
Fall chinook were classified as threatened in 1992 and include fish in the mainstem Snake River below Hells Canyon Dam, the Salmon River and Clearwater River basins and in the Tucannon, Grande Ronde and Imnaha rivers in Washington state.
Those fish could be recovered by reintroducing them above above the Hells Canyon Dam complex. But Idaho officials have fought that option, fearing protections for fish above the dams could limit riverside farming and ranching operations.
The review found that the fish extinction risk has decreased for Snake River fall chinook, but “the implementation of sound management actions to address hydropower, habitat, hatcheries, harvest and predation remain essential to recovery.”
Steelhead, a favored sport fish classified as threatened in 1997, include fish in the Snake, Salmon and Clearwater rivers and in the Tucannon, Grande Ronde and Imnaha rivers in Washington state. The review noted that there are no longer any steelhead that once spawned in tributaries above Hells Canyon Dam. | https://www.wjbf.com/news/national/ap-us-news/us-protections-for-idaho-salmon-steelhead-are-here-to-stay/ | 2022-08-20T01:19:12Z | https://www.wjbf.com/news/national/ap-us-news/us-protections-for-idaho-salmon-steelhead-are-here-to-stay/ | true | 36 |
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A lawsuit alleging a school district in a small Mississippi Delta town discriminated against a Black student and stripped her of an academic award has been dismissed by a panel of federal judges.
Olecia James filed the federal lawsuit in 2019 against the Cleveland School District, claiming officials prevented her from becoming class salutatorian because they “feared white flight,” according to the Clarion Ledger.
Ahead of James’ senior year, her historically Black high school was merged with a historically white school to comply with a longstanding federal desegregation decree. Merging the two high schools reshuffled class rankings, and James ended up third. Salutatorian, an honor that goes to the graduate with the second-best grades, went to a white student whose score initially appeared to be lower than hers, the lawsuit said. The valedictorian was Black.

In an opinion published Wednesday, a panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed a district court decision dismissing James' claims.
Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan wrote that the consolidated high schools both failed, at times, to follow the district handbook when awarding course credit and quality points for the preceding three years.
“That James did not end up class salutatorian may seem unfair. It was surely disappointing. But it was not unconstitutional,” Duncan wrote.
James’ attorney, Lisa Ross, said the decision was disappointing.
“It demonstrates that students have no expectation that their school districts will have to follow their own handbooks,” Ross said Thursday.
Two weeks before graduation, James found out that school officials lowered her ranking by reducing the points she earned from the courses she took while she was enrolled at East Side High, the lawsuit said.
James sued school officials, alleging that the district’s failure to follow its handbook in determining the rankings denied her due process under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Duncan wrote that a federal district court had “correctly dismissed her claims” when it found no constitutional violation, saying James did not produce evidence that she was deprived of due process or that the school district had discriminated against her.
The Cleveland School District's superintendent and lawyers did not immediately respond to calls seeking comment Thursday.
Before James’ case, the district was the subject of a similar lawsuit filed by Jasmine Shepard, who in 2016 became the first Black valedictorian in the 110-year history of Cleveland High School, which was historically white. She said the school made her share the honor with a white student who had been allowed to take extra classes. Ross represented Shepard in the case, which was also dismissed in federal court.
Ross said James graduated from Alcorn State University this spring and is now a second lieutenant in the U.S. army. She plans to attend law school.

BY age 16, Harold La Borde had built his own boat, a dinghy christened Lark. By 27, he and his new bride Kwailan were ready to take on the Atlantic in another vessel crafted with his own hands, the 26-foot ketch Humming Bird.
With no navigational technology on board, the La Bordes and their friend Buck Wong Chong set sail for England depending completely on nautical maps, the stars and La Borde’s knowledge of sea and wind conditions. Astonishingly, they made the trip in the then world record time of 36 days while entering the history books as the first Trinidadian sailors to cross the Atlantic.
That may have been a grand enough achievement for many but not for the La Bordes. Soon, the open blue oceans were beckoning again and the La Bordes answered with an unimaginably ambitious project.
Their new mission was to circumnavigate the globe with a new boat, Hummingbird II, a 40-foot ketch also built by Harold La Borde. It had taken three years to build and another three operating as a chartered vessel to bring in the money needed for the challenge ahead.
As the days were counted down to their departure on February 2, 1969, all Trinidad and Tobago was swept up by the excitement of the impending adventure. The evening before, Prime Minister Dr Eric Williams attended a farewell party for them at the Yacht Club. The Express published a photo of Dr Williams gingerly stepping off the plank for a tour of the vessel and to deliver two gifts to T&T’s sailing ambassadors to the world - the Trinidad and Tobago flag and a film about T&T titled Tranquil and Terrific. This time the La Bordes had two new persons on board, crewman Andy Vine and their five year-old son, Pierre.
At 4 p.m. on February 2, with Carnival in the air and public excitement over the La Bordes’ adventure reaching fever pitch, the family set off on their mission to circle the globe and conquer the oceans. Accompanying them out into the Bocas was a flotilla of small boats and yachts from which they were serenaded by a parang band.
Their first port of call was to the nearby island of Margarita before heading out of the Caribbean Sea, across the Pacific Ocean and through the dangerous Torres Straits into the Indian Ocean. For Harold La Borde, the highlight of the journey was the rough crossing of the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, often referred to as the Mount Everest of the oceans.
In 1973, the mission of circumnavigating the world having been accomplished, the La Bordes returned home in triumph bringing with them their second son, Andre, who was born in New Zealand. They were escorted in by coast guard vessels to a rapturous welcome led by Prime Minister Dr Eric Williams.
In 1984, they would head out again, this time circling the globe from the opposite direction, heading east via Cape Horn. Two more trans-Atlantic voyages to Spain would follow, the first in 1992 as official ambassadors delivering the T&T flag to the Barcelona Olympics, and in 2000.
For their national service in putting Trinidad and Tobago on the world stage, Harold and Kwailan La Borde were awarded the nation’s highest honour, then known as the Trinity Cross.
Writing about their travels, Harold La Borde spoke from the heart when he said, “We are very proud to have taken our national flag all around the world, even to the end of the world.” | https://trinidadexpress.com/opinion/letters/adventurous-hearts/article_9f3a0ea4-2019-11ed-8e2a-d379a8a9fa66.html | 2022-08-20T01:37:31Z | https://trinidadexpress.com/opinion/letters/adventurous-hearts/article_9f3a0ea4-2019-11ed-8e2a-d379a8a9fa66.html | false | 1 |

Although she doesn’t want a relationship, she’s still sending you signals that confuse you. You flirt, meet, and get closer and closer. But although you already have feelings in play, everything remains on a non-binding level.
There can be many reasons why women don’t want to be in a relationship. Sometimes it’s difficult to understand them because they often send contradictory signals. So while it’s sometimes worth fighting for her attention, in other cases it is often futile to continue to strive for it. But what behaviors can you recognize for what women really want?
Her signs are not so clear
It’s a phenomenon that’s not uncommon and that almost drives you crazy. Women let you know that they don’t want a relationship, but still send you completely different signs. If they don’t know what they want, it may look like this:
- She calls or sends you SMS— Although she says she is happily single, she is always trying to get in touch with you. And not just when she wants something from you, but also just to ask how you’re doing or what you’re up to.
- She wants constantly to be with you — She clearly wants to be close to you and likes to spend time with you. Even if she makes it very clear to you that she doesn’t want to commit to you, she sticks to agreements, makes plans with you, and sometimes takes the initiative.
- She is physically devoted to you — It will be most difficult for you if she doesn’t want to enter into a committed relationship with you, but she’s physically devoted to you at the same time. Kisses and other caresses repeatedly awaken new hopes, which makes it difficult to accept and understand her’s decision.
Stay calm! You can handle that!
If she exhibits the above behaviors, her disapproval of a committed relationship with you is not final. Since she doesn’t want to commit herself officially, but still can’t afford to let you go, maybe it means that she isn’t ready yet. Nevertheless, hopes are justified. Due to the constant contact or the physical closeness, she doesn’t seem to be uninterested in you.
Time is very important here. The longer you both stay in contact and experience beautiful moments together, the more likely it is that she will develop feelings. However, it’s also up to you to decide how long you can endure the unclear relationship status between the two of you.
She doesn’t want a relationship yet! Ok, you can handle that, too
To have a realistic chance of winning over a woman even though she doesn’t want a relationship, you must first find out why she doesn’t want to commit. Do not only pay attention to her words but also correctly interpret her body language, because this is often more revealing and honest than what she says and shows to you. These tips can also help:
- Give her as much privacy and space as possible. Don’t pressure her. This allows her to find out for herself what she actually wants.
- Don’t give her an ultimatum. You can’t force love and feelings. Better pull back a bit so she can see what she has in you. It’s very critical to remember that if you show yourself to be independent and deal with the situation confidently, you increase your attractiveness enormously. Women often want a man who wants them but doesn’t need them.
- At the same time, however, take care of yourself. As soon as you start to suffer from the unclear situation or feel exploited, you should seek a conversation with her and possibly withdraw.
She really doesn’t want a relationship
Sometimes, however, all efforts are futile. Many behaviors can indicate that a woman actually prefers to be permanently single and doesn’t want anything permanent. Perhaps love has a negative connotation for them due to bad experiences and primarily symbolizes narrowness, pressure, dependency, and obligations. Maybe she has someone else and is only interested in an affair where she gets what she otherwise lacks — but that’s all. Or she may be newly broken up and just not ready to recommit. The following behaviors can be signs that your chosen one is not interested in something solid:
- She lets off steam — She goes to parties all the time, flirts with other men in front of you, and just wants to have fun. That means you are just an option for her, but not a priority.
- She is afraid of commitment — Although she may have feelings for you, she dreads entering into a stable and committed relationship. The causes of fear of commitment can already lie in early childhood or disappointing partnerships. She is the only one to be able to work through and overcome this fear, unfortunately, there is little you can do about it.
- She has only friendship feelings for you — Despite hours of late-night phone calls, intensive conversations and a lot of time spent together, there is no physical rapprochement between you. This suggests that you have landed in the “friend zone” and that your friendship will never become love.
- She shows no interest in you — Your conversations are mostly about her. While you keep asking questions about her and taking an interest in her life, she puts little effort into getting to know you better.
- She hardly answers — You have the feeling that you are in contact with her, that she is your soul mate, but you are always the one who initiates it. She never calls or texts you first.
So, is it worth fighting for her attention?
Despite your best efforts, do you find yourself having been running into a wall for a long time? Then it is advisable to stop your efforts now — every further attempt will make you seem desperate and emotionally dependent. You can’t force love and if her attitude clearly signals that she doesn’t want a relationship (with you), you should believe her and accept the circumstances.
What you can do if she’s not interested
Even though you’ve tried to find a woman and maybe even fallen in love with her, she doesn’t want a relationship. If lovesickness and the feeling of a deep loss arises, you can now do the following:
- Accept the circumstances — Do not try to persuade her with requests or threats, but respect and accept her decision.
Depending on how deep your feelings already are, distance helps — If you suffer greatly from having been rejected, break off contact with her and, for example, delete her phone number or unfriend her on social media. - Distract yourself — Go on with your everyday life and try to do many nice things in your free time that you have always wanted to do. Endurance sports can also help because then dopamine and serotonin are built up. These are the hormones that are responsible for feelings of happiness.
- Give yourself enough time — Get her over and don’t put yourself under pressure, especially if you have fallen in love unhappily. Shield yourself because in that case, your disappointment is often great.
Take care of yourself — especially if she doesn’t want anything solid
Women often say they don’t want a relationship, but do they really mean it? Statement and behavior do not always match. Sometimes it just takes time to be sure of your feelings. In this case, an initial flirtation can turn into a solid relationship.
However, if you notice that you are always the only one to take the initiative and you make all the efforts, then it seems that she is not interested enough in you. Then it is better to try to forget her to be open to a partner who suits you better. Fight for her and her feelings only if you feel your efforts will be appreciated and reciprocated to some degree. After all, a balanced give and take are essential for a healthy, functioning relationship.
I recently read a great article from Anggun Bawi about long-term relationships where she points out some truths most of us are afraid to share. It’s worth reading this!

THE UNITED Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) has poked holes into the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC), questioning its ability to resolve the long-standing and highly emotive issue of the 1980s Gukurahundi massacres.
The NPRC was appointed to deal with human right concerns, including the emotive Gukurahundi killings perpetrated by Fifth Brigade soldiers on the orders of then Prime Minister, Robert Mugabe, while current president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, was State Security minister at the time.
Gukurahundi reared its ugly head between 1982 -1987, resulting in the death of an estimated 20 000 people in Midlands, Bulawayo and Matebeleland provinces, who were perceived dissidents.
Since the massacres, noone has been held accountable with late Mugabe describing it as a “moment of madness.”
President Mnangagwa, desperate to lure the people of Matebeleland, resuscitated debate on the emotional and highly divisive matter, which was previously discussed in hushed tones during Mugabe’s rule.
In a statement released by UNHRC following Minister of Justice, Ziyambi Ziyambi’s appearance before it in Switzerland, said there was lack of accountability and political will to fully resolve Gukurahundi.
“Ms.Gay McDougall was concerned by reports that the violent events that resulted in the killing of approximately 20 000 largely Ndebele-speaking persons in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces, killed by government forces in the early 1980s, remained a source of ethnic tension, with no accountability for the deaths or justice for survivors,” read the statement.
Ziyambi rebuffed the UN Commission saying the establishment of NPRC was not only to resolve the historical matter, but insisted there were other mechanisms to address it.
“The delegation said that the Peace and Reconciliation Commission was formed to ensure that national cohesion and harmony was brought into society, and to solve issues of conflict,” said Ziyambi.
“It was not constituted to deal with the Ndebele issue. Each area had customs which they used to solve these issues. As a community, the traditional leaders aimed to appease the spirts of the deceased and ensure that their families were at peace.”
Pressure groups have been mounting criticism on government to bring finality to the emotive issue by bringing those fingered to account.
Peace and conflict resolution expert Lazarus Sauti said Gukurahundi was glossed over as perpetrators were unashamedly holding positions of authority and power.
“In terms of transitional justice and reconciliation, the country is yet to make progress in addressing Gukurahundi atrocities. People are not freely speaking about the issue because some of the perpetrators are holding powerful positions in the country’s body politic,” Sauti said.
“Plaques are being tainted and destroyed. People are not yet healed. This has greatly affected peace efforts in the country. The NPRC is compromised and a proper Truth and Reconciliation Commission is needed if the issue is to be resolved. | https://www.newzimbabwe.com/un-doubts-zim-peace-commissions-capacity-to-resolve-gukurahundi/ | 2022-08-20T02:19:36Z | https://www.newzimbabwe.com/un-doubts-zim-peace-commissions-capacity-to-resolve-gukurahundi/ | false | 1 |
One of the first movies in Phase 4 was none other than Scarlet Johansson's Black Widow. The founding Avenger finally got her own solo project, set between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, which saw her forced to reunite with her old faux Russian family.
The reactions to it were generally mixed, with many people feeling that the project was oddly placed and late to the party - not to mention how it completely butchered Taskmaster. No matter what one may think of it, however, at the very least the film introduced Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, who is now a fan-favorite cast member of the MCU.
While Black Widow let audiences meet Natasha's old family, and took them into the heart of the Red Room, there was once a very different version of the story pitched to Marvel Studios. It turns out that She-Hulk's head writer was once thinking about having Natasha Romanoff go to her high school reunion.
A Rejected Black Widow Plot
In an interview with The Wrap, She-Hulk head writer Jessica Gao talked about how she once pitched a version of Black Widow that included a high school reunion, and how she worked her way into Marvel Studios' graces.
When it came to her pitch for Natasha Romanoff's solo outing, Gao described it as "basically a Grosse Point Blank story" for the character, where she had to "[go] back to the high school reunion and has to deal with the fallout of [her] fake identity [there] where she betrayed all [of those] people in high school:"
“It was basically a ‘Grosse Pointe Blank’ story for Black Widow... basically you find out that in high school, as a teenage spy/Russian agent, she was planted at an American high school, because she had to assassinate someone’s dad and then 20 years later, she goes back to the high school reunion and has to deal with the fallout of this fake identity where she betrayed all these people in high school.”
Black Widow wasn't the only movie the writer pitched for. She also had ideas for Captain Marvel and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. However, her not getting those projects put her straight in the direction of She-Hulk.
Though, her time pitching those denied stories wasn't a waste. Gao noted that she is "a big believer that every opportunity you miss is actually setting you up for something else," and that every time she pitched something, she "got to spend an hour" with the likes of Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and simply hangout:
“I’m a big believer that every opportunity you miss is actually setting you up for something else... I truly believe that I didn’t get any of those three Marvel movie jobs because it was building to this point. Because what it really did for me is every single time that I pitched to Kevin [Feige], and Lou [D’Esposito] and Victoria [Alonso], and Brad [Winterbaum], I get to spend an hour with him, and I get to shoot the shit and hang out and chat. Then I get to pitch my movie. Then, of course, they wholeheartedly reject me. But every time I would go in to pitch, it was like, ‘Oh, hey, what’s up? Is it the time of year where you reject me again? Cool. What have you been up to since you rejected me?’ It just really made the room very warm.”
The writer continued, explaining how "each time, they got to know [her] more, [and she] got to know them more," and that helped get her in the perfect spot to be chosen for Jennifer Walter's story.
“Each time, they got to know me more, I got to know them more. By the time I came into pitch ‘She-Hulk,’ I think they had a very good sense of what my sense of humor was. They had a good sense of what type of writer I was, what kind of story I built. They just had a very good indication of what I’m about. I think that that really helped sell it, because they weren’t coming into me cold. They already talked to me so many times, they understood the quirks and nuances and the little things that I really infuse into everything.”
The High School Reunion That Never Was
Gao certainly has a great outlook on life, and it's worked out for her. Utilizing her time pitching under the rationalization that its social time with the top brass is simply brilliant—and completely accurate. It’s no wonder she finally landed a solid project.
Based on how people are reacting to She-Hulk, it would seem she landed on the right project. But what would a Black Widow high school reunion film look like?
Would Yelena have possibly been an old classmate? Or even the same disconnected false sister, who was stuck playing a fake role in the United States school system alongside Natasha.
The idea definitely feels like it would have been a lot less connected to the character’s wider story. For example, it’s hard to see how it would have hit upon the Red Room like what 2021’s Black Widow did.
Sadly, fans may never know what that movie looked like, unless Gao does get to make her high school reunion with an entirely different context. Maybe a decade down the line, she’ll write a fun story for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker as he’s forced to reconnect with an entire high school who don't remember he existed at all.

A wanted man, suspected of burglary after multiple nearby home invasions in the New York borough of Queens was captured on a home security camera trying to use a wifi jammer to block a wifi-enabled security camera signal. That signal came back, and the camera was able to capture the man in action.
The suspect would break into homes in the middle of the day taking anything of value including cash, jewelry and luxury items, while ransacking the homes. It was unclear if police suspected just one person or multiple people possibly working together in the crimes.
As ABC 7 NY reported, the homeowners are usually not home as the suspect appears to arrive just as the homeowners are leaving. Since July 24, New York police said at least five residences were broken into in the same manner.
In one of the break-ins, the home of Imran Ahmed in Queens Village was invaded.
Surveillance video from a wifi-enabled security camera in the home wasn't able to be blocked during some of the home invasion which saw a creepy scene with a man covered in various cloth items was revealed slithering across the floor. He pushed a backpack and another black box, believed to be a wifi jammer. But the plan didn't work because the camera's signal wasn't blocked during some of the time the man was in the home, capturing him on video.
Video shared by the homeowner showed the unsettling scene.
Ahmed said, "We got an alert around 2:30 that our Wi-Fi went out." He said that at first, he "didn't think anything of it."
In the video, the man goes up the stairs, and when he comes back down, he says something that sounds like, "Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony."
Ahmed said, "We're literally two blocks from the [police] precinct." He said, "To have something like this happen is very scary."
One of the homes police are investigating had $30,000 in jewelry stolen, along with an $8,000 Louis Vuitton handbag. | https://www.turnto23.com/news/national/home-invasion-captured-on-video-showing-suspect-trying-to-block-security-camera-signal-with-wifi-jammer | 2022-08-20T02:36:10Z | https://www.turnto23.com/news/national/home-invasion-captured-on-video-showing-suspect-trying-to-block-security-camera-signal-with-wifi-jammer | true | 21 |
FOXBOROUGH — It was an up-and-down preseason debut for Mac Jones, but the Patriots quarterback certainly ended it on a high note.
After back-to-back three-and-outs to start the game against Carolina’s backups — Jones misfired on his first three pass attempts — the quarterback found his stride. He engineered a 10-play, 81-yard drive that culminated in a Ty Montgomery touchdown. The Patriots went on to win the game 20-10.
Here are 12 takeaways from New England’s second preseason game.
1. Jones and Agholor connect
Nelson Agholor has been putting a terrific training camp together, and on Friday night, he brought it over to the game field.
On New England’s third drive, Jones found Agholor to move the chains on a 3rd-and-5, then delivered the play of the night. Streaking down the right sideline, Agholor got a step on Keith Taylor Jr. and Jones uncorked a perfect deep ball, connecting for a 45-yard chunk play. There weren’t many throws better than that in Jones’ rookie season and it’s even more encouraging that Agholor is the one who hauled it in.
2. Patricia calls the plays
After a game of “who’s the play-caller” in the preseason opener, those duties belonged to Matt Patricia for all of the game’s snaps. He was radioing plays in for Jones, Brian Hoyer, and Bailey Zappe, and looks to be the team’s primary play-caller moving forward.
3. Pass rush gets home early
The starting defense was menacing at the line of scrimmage.
The first team hit P.J. Walker three times in his first 10 drop-backs — and that’s not including Christian Barmore’s boneheaded roughing the passer penalty. Deatrich Wise and Josh Uche both brought Walker down, and the Panthers struggled to block Matthew Judon, too.
4. Big backs stay on the field
Nobody was tasked with the James White role on Friday night.
Damien Harris had the first series and stayed on for 3rd-and-4, and Rhamondre Stevenson did the same on the second series at 3rd-and-7. On the touchdown drive that followed, Ty Montgomery played every snap and did so effectively; he caught a pass in addition to his rushing touchdown.
5. Bledsoe forces a turnover
Joshuah Bledsoe continues his push to make the 53-man roster. The second-year safety forced (and recovered) a second-quarter fumble to put the Patriots offense deep in Carolina territory. It was originally ruled an incomplete pass before a Bill Belichick challenge, and the Patriots coach was clearly displeased with the officials for blowing the play dead. After chucking the red flag, Belichick kept putting his palms in the air as he gave the refs an earful.
6. Wade gets one, too
Shaun Wade high-pointed an errant Walker throw in the third quarter and came down with the interception. As he sprinted to the end zone to celebrate, a number of Patriots starters who hadn’t been in the game in over an hour — Matthew Judon, Jalen Mills etc. — ran down to celebrate with him.
7. Dugger still croaking people
Kyle Dugger remains one of the hardest hitters on the Patriots roster.
He knocked No. 6 overall pick Ickey Ekwonu on his butt despite weighing 100 pounds less than the Panthers tackle and later crunched D’onta Foreman at the line of scrimmage on a carry. Dugger just flies around.
8. Bryant gets the start
Myles Bryant, not Marcus Jones, was given the start at slot cornerback and held his own. Bryant returned punts, too. Another interesting lineup surprise was Jahlani Tavai starting at inside linebacker alongside Ja’Whaun Bentley rather than Raekwon McMillan.
9. Schooler’s stock keeps rising
Another day, another great special teams play from Brenden Schooler.
After Montgomery’s touchdown, the undrafted free agent kept New England’s momentum going on the ensuing kickoff. Chuba Hubbard made an ill-advised decision to return a kickoff that was nine yards deep and Schooler made him pay, beating his man and dropping the returner at the 14-yard line. He also almost downed a punt at the 1-yard line while also serving as a personal protector and added a last minute interception, too.
10. Onwenu kicks over to tackle
With Trent Brown, Isaiah Wynn, and Justin Herron all on the shelf, Michael Onwenu moved to right tackle for the first time this summer. He seems to have no problem there.
11. No Bourne or Henry
A rough week for Kendrick Bourne rolled on.
After getting reamed out and then kicked out of joint practices on Tuesday and starting with the backups on Wednesday, Bourne was nowhere to be found on Friday night. Hunter Henry remained out, too, so a couple offensive pieces thought to be pivotal in the passing game weren’t available.
12. Thornton gets banged up
None of New England’s starters left the game with an injury, but their second-round pick did. Tyquan Thornton hurt his shoulder and was ruled out immediately, which is never a great sign.

Second phase of Polio drive postponed due to rains, flood
DI KHAN – The district administration has postponed the anti-polio vaccination drive in second block of the district due to heavy rains and floods.
While talking to APP on Friday, Deputy District Health Officer Dr Hafiz Muhammad Gul Farooq Bhetani said, “We had to temporarily stop the second phase of the polio drive in Tehsil Daraban, Tehsil Kulachi and merged areas of Darazinda due to flood situation.”
Dr Hafiz said that the drive had been completed successfully in first block consisting of Tehsil Dera, Tehsil Paroa and Tehsil Pharpur where the anti-polio drops were administered to children under five years of age from August 15 to 18. The new dates for the anti-polio vaccination in second block would be announced later. | https://nation.com.pk/2022/08/20/second-phase-of-polio-drive-postponed-due-to-rains-flood/ | 2022-08-20T02:43:01Z | https://nation.com.pk/2022/08/20/second-phase-of-polio-drive-postponed-due-to-rains-flood/ | false | null |
With Propositions 26 and 27 both related to tribal gaming, we look at the history of Native Americans and their casinos.
The Rincon Band of Mission Indians, located in San Diego County, made the first attempt to open a tribal casino in California in 1970. The San Diego County sheriff shut it down and the courts agreed with the decision.
Casino gaming came to the forefront of Indian matters during the 1980s. Controversy didn’t swirl around online sports betting or large Las Vegas-style resorts, but it began with small-scale bingo games. The opening of several reservation bingo halls led to court cases between state and tribal interests in Wisconsin, Florida and California
California opens the gates
After authorities issued citations to employees and customers and shut down a cards and bingo establishment on a Riverside reservation in 1980, a legal battle went all the way to the Supreme Court. On Feb. 25, 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court decided (6-3) that neither the state of California nor Riverside County could regulate the bingo and card game operations of the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians and the Morongo Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians. The ruling was known as the Cabazon decision, and it set in motion a series of federal and state actions — including two ballot propositions — that dramatically expanded tribal casino operations in California and other states.
In 2022, the state of California has signed and ratified Tribal-State Gaming Compacts with 79 tribes and there are secretarial procedures in effect with four tribes. There are currently 66 casinos operated by 63 tribes in the state. Last year, tribes paid around $65 million to support state regulatory and gambling addiction program costs. Tribes also pay tens of millions of dollars to local governments each year. Tribes operating larger casinos pay nearly $150 million annually to tribes that either do not operate casinos or have fewer than 350 slot machines.
The following brief descriptions are from the Legislative Analyst’s Office. Research the lao.ca.gov for more details.
Proposition 26 snapshot
A yes vote means: Four racetracks could offer in-person sports betting. Racetracks would pay the state a share of sports bets made. Tribal casinos could offer in-person sports betting, roulette, and games played with dice (such as craps) if permitted by individual tribal gambling agreements with the state. Tribes would be required to support state sports betting regulatory costs at casinos.
A no vote means: Sports betting would continue to be illegal in California. Tribal casinos would continue to be unable to offer roulette and games played with dice. No changes would be made to the way state gambling laws are enforced.
Proposition 27 snapshot
A yes vote means: Licensed tribes or gambling companies could offer online sports betting over the internet and mobile devices to people 21 years of age and older on non-tribal lands in California. Those offering online sports betting would be required to pay the state a share of sports bets made. A new state unit would be created to regulate online sports betting. New ways to reduce illegal online sports betting would be available.
A no vote means: Sports betting would continue to be illegal in California. No changes would be made to the way state gambling laws are enforced.
Class III gaming devices (slot machines)
The map below is an update of the 2006 Legislative Analyst’s Office overview of tribal casinos.
- The three largest facilities in the state (as measured by the number of Class III devices) are in Southern California. Yaamava Resort Casino (5,000 slot machines) in San Bernardino County
- Pechanga Resort Casino (5,000 slot machines) in Riverside County
- Morongo Casino Resort Spa (4,000 slot machines) in Riverside County

The American Indian and Alaska Native population, alone and in combination, increased from 5.2 million in 2010 to 9.7 million in 2020, an 86.5% increase.
American Indian and Alaska Native people represent 2.9% of the U.S. population.
- About 30% live on reservations
- Of the 9.7 million, 5.9 million are in combination one race or more.
- California has the highest number of Native Americans, with a population of 778,593, comprising about 2% of its population.
- There are approximately 110 federally recognized Indian tribes, including several tribes with lands that cross state boundaries. There are also about 81 groups seeking federal recognition.
- California’s tribes are as small as five members and as large as 6,000 members.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed a complaint from a group of health care workers who said they were unfairly discriminated against by Maine’s COVID-19 vaccine requirement.
The plaintiffs sued Democratic Gov. Janet Mills and other Maine officials along with a group of health care organizations in the state. The workers argued that the vaccine mandate violated their right to free exercise of religion because it did not provide an exemption for religious beliefs.
Jon Levy, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine, wrote Thursday that the vaccine mandate was “rationally based” and that “no further analysis is required.”
“Reducing the number of unvaccinated healthcare workers at designated healthcare facilities in Maine is rationally related to the government’s interests in limiting the spread of COVID-19, safeguarding Maine’s healthcare capacity, and protecting the lives and health of Maine people,” Levy wrote.
The workers had remained anonymous since filing the suit until July, when a federal appeals court in Boston said they must reveal their identities. The workers also argued it was their religious right to decline the vaccine over the belief that fetal stem cells from abortions are used to develop them.
Liberty Counsel, a law firm representing the health care workers, said in a statement on Friday that it would appeal the dismissal. The firm said in a statement that Levy’s dismissal was “critically flawed” and “contrary to recent Supreme Court precedent involving COVID restrictions on places of worship and many other Supreme Court decisions.”
The vaccine mandate went into effect in October. The plaintiffs hoped to take their case to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the court declined to hear arguments in the suit earlier this year. The high court did not explain its decision at the time.
The lawsuit named some of the largest health care networks in the state as defendants. One of those networks, Northern Light Health, said in a statement on Friday that it had been validated by the court’s ruling.
“Our health care organization continues to strive always to act in the best interests of our patients and our staff in these challenging times, and we’re gratified that the court completely validated our conduct in this matter,” the statement said. | https://www.woodtv.com/health/ap-health/judge-throws-out-maine-lawsuit-against-covid-vaccine-mandate/ | 2022-08-20T02:55:25Z | https://www.woodtv.com/health/ap-health/judge-throws-out-maine-lawsuit-against-covid-vaccine-mandate/ | false | 32 |

GN launches new technology platform to address the No.1 hearing aid challenge: hearing speech in noise
GN Hearing, the global leader in hearing aid innovation, today announces the launch of ReSound OMNIA – a new hearing aid platform that will set a new standard in hearing technology and improve how people interact with the world around them. ReSound OMNIA provides significantly better hearing in noisy environments than any previous ReSound hearing aid. Coupled with optimal comfort and seamless connection to devices, these advances give people living with hearing loss a solution that will help them hear even the finest details of sound more easily.

GN launches new technology platform to address the No.1 hearing aid challenge: hearing speech in noise (Photo: Business Wire)
Despite advances in hearing aid technology over the last 10 years, hearing speech in noisy environments is still a challenge for people with hearing loss. In fact, 80% of people who wear hearing aids describe hearing in noise as a key challenge. 1 To address this, ReSound OMNIA has been engineered to sound natural while still delivering 150% improvement in speech understanding compared to current hearing aids. 2,* In a clinical study, 20% of respondents had issues with the sound of their own voice when wearing hearing aids. 3 ReSound OMNIA also addresses this challenge by enhancing the user’s perception of ‘own voice’, so it sounds natural which contributes to higher satisfaction, leading to improved retention of hearing aids.
For additional sound performance and comfort, ReSound introduces Check My Fit , a new, first-of-its-kind feature in the ReSound Smart3D App. It gives users guidance to wear their hearing aids correctly via a quick ear selfie. Wearing hearing aids incorrectly can result in up to 11dB of sound escaping the ear, reducing the ability to hear considerably. 4 Check My Fit also works with other ReSound hearing aids to help people enjoy sound fully without unnecessary trips to the audiologist.
“ At GN Hearing, we know that hearing in noise and hearing aid comfort are both critically important to hearing aid users”, says GN Hearing CEO, Gitte Aabo . “The new ReSound OMNIA hearing aids show what we can achieve when we put the needs of each individual user at the center of our design process. We address the difficult challenges such as speech understanding in noise so that they can enjoy every conversational nuance.”
Whether users choose to stream phone calls or music to their ears, they can connect naturally and hear it all with the highest quality through enhanced connectivity of ReSound OMNIA. Users can enjoy hands-free, crystal-clear phone calls at the touch of a button with iPhone and iPad **, and direct streaming from Android smartphones.
The new ReSound OMNIA hearing aids will be rolled out globally starting with the US and Canada on August 25, 2022, along with the equivalent Beltone Achieve line-up, in the popular Receiver-in-Ear (RIE) style. The ReSound OMNIA hearing aids are available in eight colors and in both rechargeable and non-rechargeable models. Also available from August 25, 2022, are GN Hearing’s recently launched Custom made by ReSound hearing aids in a Completely-in-Canal (CIC) style, to address more needs with a truly small fit, crafted for ease of use and all-day comfort.
Teleconference:
GN will host a teleconference at 15:30 (3.30 pm) CEST, August 16, 2022. Please visit www.gn.com/investor to access the teleconference. Presentation material will be available on the website approximately one hour prior to the teleconference.
For more information, visit the ReSound website.
* The 150% increase represents a 4.36db increase compared to legacy ReSound hearing aids.
** ReSound OMNIA hands-free calls are compatible with iPhone 11 or later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation), iPad Air (4th generation), and iPad mini (6th generation) or later, with software updates iOS 15.3 and iPadOS 15.3 or later.

BEAVERCREEK — The Backyard Battle once again kicks off the year as Xenia travels to Beavercreek in the opening game of the 2022 season.
Road teams until recently had the upper hand in the series, which stands at 11-9 in favor of Xenia. The home team has won both of the last two meetings, but failed to get the win in nine of the previous 10 games before it.
Beavercreek is looking to announce itself as a stronger player this season, while Xenia has an early chance to get not only big computer ranking points for its the postseason chances, but more importantly showing itself if defensive woes from a year ago are ready to be put in the rear view mirror.
Jaxen Lewis and Jamell Smith will led the Bucs defense against Beavers quarterback Spencer Johnson and his skill options of Adi Hernandez, Nick Oxner and Quentin Youngblood. On the other side, CJ Crawford and his defense has the task of trying to stop a versitle Xenia offense. Gavin McManus has a plethora of passing options with a 1-2 punch of Trei’Shaun Sanders and Ramon Browdell in the backfield to compliment them.
The game also is the first meeting between the team head coaches who share a close past.
Harden is beginning his second year in charge of the Bucs, and on the other side it’s the first game for new Beavers head coach Marcus Colvin.
Both most recently shared time together on the same coaching staff at Chaminade Julienne before taking their new positions.
Harden said Colvin as a “great human being” in describing their relationship. The two made their way out to each other’s final scrimmages last week and snapped pictures together while assuredly getting in some extra scouting in preparation for Friday.
“There’s a lot of pride that comes along with it,” Harden said. “It’s a rivalry game. I’m playing against one of my greatest mentors in life.”
The winning team will have the rivalry trophy presented to it by Beavercreek mayor Bob Stone and Xenia mayor Sarah Mays.
Bellbrook at Tippecanoe
These two teams met twice last season with Bellbrook winning both times in the regular season opener and the postseason. But not a lot of familiar faces will see one another on Friday with both sides replacing many starters.
Defense is where Bellbrook wants to keep up its focus and it will be an important group as Tipp does have two key returners which were top performers in the MVL.
Liam Poronsky is back at quarterback for the Red Devils after a 17 touchdown, 1,400-plus yard season and he has a big target at receiver in Stanley Clyne who stands 6-foot, 3-inches, but doesn’t have much experience after not playing last season. On the other side of the ball, Josh Dietz made 95 tackles last year, including a 20 tackle game against the Golden Eagles.
The game will be played at Butler High School while Tipp’s stadium is undergoing construction.
Middletown Christian at Cedarville
Cedarville had to quickly find a new opening opponent after Fayetteville Perry canceled its football season in early August.
Enter Middletown Christian, which had the same issue after initially scheduling Bradford which also canceled its season. The Eagles only offer a club team and the game will not count toward the playoff rankings for the Indians.
Middletown Christian typically faces several other varsity teams each season and has held its own, so it could be a good test for Cedarville’s new schemes.
Get ready to call out “Jackson” a lot, as three of Cedarville’s most prominent players share the first name.
Fairborn at Tecumseh
An initial glimpse of how the Skyhawks plan get more physical this season will be on display in the trip to Tecumseh.
Dominique Johnson looked like one of the best athletes on the field during scrimmages for Fairborn and may need to take pressure of quarterback JT Smith. Michael Wardle also got time taking snaps.
The Arrows went 4-6 last season and return quarterback Nate Cory and leading rushers Lucas Berner and Josiah Botello this season. A run heavy offense will be the task for the Skyhawks defense to halt.
Tecumseh won a game between the two teams to open the 2021 season 41-14 at Fairborn.
Greeneview at Middletown Madison
The reigning OHC South champions will get its season underway at Madison, which went 0-10 last season.
Greeneview will need to lean on its experience after having to cancel its second scrimmage last week and missing out on game action. The Rams have plenty of it and shouldn’t take long to shake off any rust.
The Mohawks return a balanced attack this season, but are young with most of their returning leaders being sophomores and juniors. Brady Haas completed just under 50 percent of his throws in nearly 200 attempts. Kwenton Rhodus is the leading rushing coming back and Kaleb Miller is coming off a 27 reception freshman season.

Hawaii households in food-insecure areas now are eligible for grants up to $5,000 for small-scale gardening, herding and livestock operations.
The Micro-Grants for Food Security Program is now in its second year and is accepting grant applications, the state Department of Agriculture announced today.
Projects that might be eligible for a grant include purchasing equipment, soil, seeds, plants and refrigeration for small-scale farming or purchasing animals and constructing or repairing fencing for livestock.
The MGFSP application on the DOA’s website also notes costs from canning setups and jars, hydroponic systems, traveling to participate in agricultural education and shipping as possible expenses that can be covered by the grant.
In 2021, 177 grants were awarded statewide, the agricultural department reported.
“Since the department received a great amount of interest last year from home gardeners and small-scale farmers, the department has streamlined the application process and will focus on supporting households so they may grow their own food for their families,” said Phyllis Shimabukuro-Geiser, chair of the state Board of Agriculture, in a statement.
Last year, organizations were also eligible for the program, but the DOA said that due to the high interest by individuals, this year only individuals will be eligible for the grants.
The deadline to apply for the grant is noon on Sept. 19.
The DOA is holding a Zoom meeting at noon on Wednesday to assist interested parties with the application process.
More information can be found on the DOA’s Market Development Branch website, at hdoa.hawaii.gov/add/md/. The branch can also be reached by phone at 808-973-9595 or by email at hdoa.md.microgrants@hawaii.gov. | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/08/19/breaking-news/hawaii-households-eligible-for-up-to-5000-in-small-scale-farming-grants/ | 2022-08-20T03:12:50Z | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/08/19/breaking-news/hawaii-households-eligible-for-up-to-5000-in-small-scale-farming-grants/ | true | 1 |
Gamel went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 win over Cincinnati.
Gamel singled three times and posted his first three-hit outing since May 7. He also swiped his fifth bag of the year and first since July 26. He's now gone 18-for-60 (.300) with 14 RBI and eight extra-base hits through 16 games this month. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/pirates-ben-gamel-collects-three-hits/ | 2022-08-20T03:18:02Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/pirates-ben-gamel-collects-three-hits/ | true | null |
Kevin Gausman pitched seven stellar innings as the visiting Toronto Blue Jays inched closer in the American League East race with a 4-0 victory over the scuffling New York Yankees on Friday night.
Toronto moved within eight of the Yankees by winning its third straight game after opening the series with a 9-2 rout Thursday. It is Toronto's closest deficit in the division since they were eight back on June 13.
Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run home run off New York starter Jameson Taillon (11-4) and leadoff man Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit an RBI groundout. Gurriel was moved up to leadoff when George Springer was held out of the lineup due to fouling a ball off his knee during his five-hit night Thursday.
Danny Jansen added a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the ninth after Aroldis Chapman was booed off the mound.
In his 20th career start against the Yankees, Gausman (9-9) allowed four singles, struck out seven, walked one and threw 58 of 86 pitches for strikes. Not including July 2 when he was lifted after two innings due to an ankle contusion, it was Gausman's fifth scoreless start and third scoreless outing in his past four outings.
The Yankees lost for the 14th time in 18 games. By the middle of the eighth inning, some fans began tossing what appeared to be cash from the upper deck.
New York was blanked for the 11th time this season and fifth time in its past 13 games. The Yankees also dropped to 9-19 since the All-Star break.
Toronto went ahead in the third when Whit Merrifield began the inning with a single, took third on a double by Cavan Biggio and scored on Gurriel's ground ball.
After Alejandro Kirk opened the fourth with a single, Hernandez made it 3-0 by blasting a 93 mph first pitch over the left-center field fence into the Toronto bullpen. It was Hernandez's 18th homer.
Gausman allowed a single to Josh Donaldson to put two on in the first and then retired 10 straight before Gleyber Torres opened the fifth with a single. After that single, Gausman got Isiah Kiner-Falefa to bounce into a double play and allowed two more runners the rest of the way while finishing his outing with a six-pitch seventh.
Yimi Garcia easily pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and Jordan Romano finished up in the ninth, prompting fans to loudly boo the Yankees after the final out.

Transgender kids can play girls sports in Utah after ruling
Transgender girls in Utah will be given the opportunity to participate in girls' sports as the school year begins, after a judge on Friday reversed a ban pending legal challenges from parents.
Instead of an outright ban, transgender girls will now be sent before a commission that will determine on a case-by-case basis if their participation compromises fairness. Utah's Republican lawmakers created the commission in a law passed earlier this year as a fallback plan to be implemented in case of an injunction against the law.
Under the law, the panel will be allowed to ask for and assess the child's height and weight in making decisions about whether a transgender girl would have an unfair advantage.
The commission, which is set to be convened in the coming weeks, will include politically appointed experts from athletics and medicine.
When proposed, the commission was criticized by advocates for transgender student-athletes -- who worried they would feel targeted having their bodies measured -- and proponents of an outright ban, who argued it didn't go far enough.
The commission is set to go into effect while the court weighs the legal challenge to the outright ban. Members have not yet been appointed but will be in the coming weeks, legislative leaders said.
The state's association overseeing more than 80,000 students playing high school sports has said only one transgender girl competed in their leagues last year and, with school sports already underway, it's unclear how many will go before the commission and when its decisions will take effect.
Utah's ruling marked the latest court development in a nationwide debate over how to navigate the flashpoint issue.
At least 12 Republican-led states -- including Utah -- have passed laws banning transgender women or girls in sports based on the premise it gives them an unfair competitive advantage.
Transgender rights advocates counter the rules aren't just about sports, but another way to demean and attack transgender youth. Similar cases are underway in states such as Idaho, West Virginia and Indiana.
Utah's ban took effect in July after its Republican-supermajority legislature overrode a veto by Gov. Spencer Cox, also a Republican.
Utah state Judge Keith Kelly said in the ruling putting the ban on hold that attorneys representing the families of three transgender student-athletes showed they have suffered significant distress by "singling them out for unfavourable treatment as transgender girls."
The transgender girls and the parents filed the lawsuit last May, contending the ban violates the Utah Constitution's guarantees of equal rights and due process.
The ruling was thrilling news to the girls and their families, said Shannon Minter, legal director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, who also represented same-sex couples in a landmark court case against Utah last decade.
"The pressure, the strain this was putting them under was so enormous," Minter said. "It is just a huge relief to have that weight lifted."
Utah state Sen. Stuart Adams, a Republican, said in a statement Friday that the commission that will now make decisions in a way "to protect equitable and safe competition while preserving the integrity of women's sports."
The commission will include a medical data statistician, a physician with experience about "gender identity health care", a sports physiologist, mental health professional, collegiate athletic trainer, representative of an athletic association and a rotating member who is a coach or official in the sport relevant to each case.
Minter said he hopes the commission will act merely as a safety net, with the presumption being that transgender girls can play unless there is an obvious issue of competitive fairness.
"How it is done is very important," Minter said.
The ruling follows a revelation this week by the Utah High School Activities Association that it secretly investigated a female athlete -- without telling her or her parents -- after receiving complaints from the parents of two girls she had defeated in competition questioning whether the girl was transgender.
The investigation -- which was roundly criticized by Cox -- determined she indeed was female after poring through her school records dating back to kindergarten, association spokesman David Spatafore told lawmakers this week. The sequence of events laid out how similar
Critics of the ban were upset but said they were not surprised by the investigation. They said it highlighted how the impact of politicizing girls' sports affected more than transgender student-athletes and subjected all girls to scrutiny in ways they anticipated.
"It creates such a negative atmosphere based on stereotypes about girls and how they should look," Minter said. "It is really is harmful to all the kids in the state."
The sequence of events also laid out how officials may pursue complaints now that youth sports and the associations governing them are the subject of state laws. Spatafore said the complaint was among several the association had looked into in its efforts to comply with the Utah law, which went into effect in July. | https://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/transgender-kids-can-play-girls-sports-in-utah-after-ruling-1.6034172 | 2022-08-20T03:21:55Z | https://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/transgender-kids-can-play-girls-sports-in-utah-after-ruling-1.6034172 | true | 27 |

Ukraine's Black Sea deal also helps Russian farmers, economy
With much fanfare, ship after ship loaded with grain has sailed from Ukraine after being stuck in the country's Black Sea ports for nearly six months. More quietly, a parallel wartime deal met Moscow's demands to clear the way for its wheat to get to the world, too, boosting an industry vital to Russia's economy that had been ensnared in wider sanctions.
While the U.S. and its European allies work to crush Russia's finances with a web of penalties for invading Ukraine, they have avoided sanctioning its grains and other goods that feed people worldwide.
Russian and Ukrainian wheat, barley, corn and sunflower oil are important to countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, where millions rely on subsidized bread for survival. As the war spiked food and energy prices, millions of people have been pushed into poverty or closer to the brink of starvation.
Two deals that the U.N. and Turkey brokered last month to unblock food supplies depend on each other: one protects ships exporting Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea and the other assures Russia that its food and fertilizer won't face sanctions, safeguarding one of the pillars of its economy and helping ease concerns from insurers and banks.
The agreement allowed a Western shipper to move two vessels of grain out of Russia in a matter of weeks. It used to take months because Western banks refused to transfer payments to Russia. Although U.S. and European Union sanctions don't directly target Russian agriculture, Western banks have been wary of running afoul, hindering buyers' and shippers' access to Russian grain.
“You have to invest time with the banks to make them understand this whole thing because the authority says, ‘Go ahead there’s no sanction,’ but the banks self-sanction,” said Gaurav Srivastava, whose company Harvest Commodities buys, ships and sells grains from the Black Sea region.
He called the process with banks a “labor intensive exercise.”
What’s changed in recent weeks, Srivastava said, is “the appearance ... of this being sort of a truce between all parties.”
The deal mattered to Russia because it's the world’s biggest exporter of wheat, accounting for almost a fifth of global shipments, and the country is expected to have one of its best-ever crop seasons this year. Agriculture accounts for around 4% of Russia's gross domestic product, according to the World Bank.
“What is more important is employment," said Russian economist Sergey Aleksashenko, referring to jobs created by agriculture. “It's like 7 to 8% of employment.”
Farming provides 5-6 million Russian jobs, with some regions almost entirely dependent on it for their livelihood, he said.
Srivastava, whose company operates from Los Angeles and Geneva, hopes to be able to ship out 10-15 million tons of Russian grain over the coming year.
He also has been able to move out two chartered ships that were stuck at Ukrainian ports since the start of the war on Feb. 24. He said the company is aiming to pick up 1 million tons of grain from Ukraine under the four-month-long U.N. deal.
“We are a commercial business, but we are trying to help the plight of farmers in both Russia and Ukraine,” Srivastava said. “I’m very optimistic, especially in the last couple of weeks."
Russia’s demands for the deal included public statements from the U.S. and EU that sanctions don't target Russian food and fertilizer. It also raised issues around financial transactions to the Russian Agricultural Bank, access for Russian-flagged vessels at ports and ammonia exports needed for fertilizer production.
A week before Russia signed the agreement, the U.S. Treasury Department issued statements with such assurances. It made clear that Washington hadn't imposed sanctions on the sale or transport of agricultural commodities or medicine from Russia.
Treasury also issued a broad license to authorize certain transactions related to agricultural commodities, saying the U.S. “strongly supports efforts by the United Nations to bring both Ukrainian and Russian grain to world markets and to reduce the impact of Russia’s unprovoked war on Ukraine on global food supplies and prices.”
The EU also reiterated that Russian agriculture hadn't been sanctioned and blamed the global spike in food prices on the war and the Kremlin's agricultural export caps meant to protect its domestic market. The 27-nation bloc said its sanctions provide exceptions, such as allowing EU countries to authorize access to ports for Russian-flagged vessels for trade in agricultural or food products.
Russia says it's still facing challenges.
The country's agriculture ministry says difficulty with the supply of imported farming equipment, which isn't directly sanctioned, also threatens the grain harvest. It said domestic needs would be met, but that exports might be affected.
Even after the deal was signed, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov chided Western assurances that agriculture was exempt from sanctions. During a diplomatic tour of Africa focused on food exports, he said a "half-truth is worse than a lie" while pointing to the chilling effect of sanctions.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres “committed himself to press the Western countries to lift those restrictions,” Lavrov said. “We’ll see whether he can succeed.”
Meanwhile, Russian and Ukrainian grains are ever more critical to averting hunger in developing countries. S&P Global Commodity Insights said in a June report that 41 million tons of Russian wheat could be available for export this year.
But overall, the world is expected to produce 12.2 million tons less wheat and 19 million tons less corn for the 2022-2023 harvest compared with the previous year, International Grains Council Executive Director Arnaud Petit said. This is in part due to the war in Ukraine and drought in Europe, he said.
While a strong U.S. dollar and inflation may force some countries to ration food imports, Petit noted that some countries are imposing export controls that could impact the availability of grains in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.

Lakota West snares victory from St. Xavier after trailing all game
In what possibly could be a playoff preview game, Lakota West held the lead for 21 seconds vs. St. Xavier. It was the final 21 seconds as seniors Mitch Bolden and Ben Minich hooked up for the game-winning 2-yard touchdown pass giving the Firebirds the ultimate 16-13 win.
St. Xavier had led 13-0 at halftime and most of the game. They were up by 10 with over eight minutes remaining in the game.
"We talked in the locker room and made our adjustments and we came back on fire," Minich said. "It feels great. To start the season with a game like this against St. X, they're a great team. I love it!"

Quarterback Mitch Bolden was not able to see the winning toss.
"All I saw was the ref's hands go up," he said. "That was the best feeling ever. That was probably the best game I've ever been a part of."
Struggling with the passing game all night, Bolden threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to junior Brennan Remy early in the fourth quarter, but Tyler Bohn's extra point failed, meaning they would need another touchdown to win.
They punted back to St. Xavier with 4:30 remaining, but stopped them defensively and had the ball at the 3:50 mark. Bolden then began zeroing in and got the Firebirds into the red zone. Pass interference in the end zone gave them a first down at the 2-yard line where Bolden found future Notre Dame player Ben Minich for the winning score.
St. Xavier would get a final chance and was helped by a targeting call on Ohio State commit Malik Hartford that Bombers coach Steve Specht objected to with great anger. The best St. Xavier could do was line up for a 47-yard field goal attempt by junior Liam Miller. It was wide right and the Firebirds escaped with a win that some may have taken for granted.
Bolden finished 12-for-30 for 167 yards and two touchdowns while running for 69 yards. Remy had six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown. Minich's lone catch was his most important to date.
"That performance from him shows what a kid that's been playing for four years can do," Lakota West coach Tom Bolden said of his starting quarterback.
Said Mitch Bolden, "I just calmed down and played the game that I love."
New St. Xavier senior starting quarterback Jack O'Malley and senior receiver Jamaal Sharp apparently didn't read much on the Lakota West college-bound secondary as the two torched the Firebirds twice in the first half for big gains setting up scores. Sharp had five catches for 153 yards, while O'Malley was 11-for-19 for 184 yards and a touchdown to senior tight end Doran Mason.
Coming into the game, Mason had two career receptions, Sharp none.
Before the half, Jake Cengia added his second field goal giving St. Xavier the 13-0 advantage. That set the stage for a Tom Bolden notable performance in the locker room.
"I told the kids at halftime it was the worst half of football I've ever been a part of," Tom Bolden said. "I broke a few chairs. I'll take them out of my check I guess. They responded."
Lakota West didn't dent the scoreboard until the third quarter. Junior Taebron Bennie-Powell blocked a Mathias Clark punt. The Firebirds had to settle for Bohn's first field goal of the year from 25 yards.
In the end, Lakota West would outscore St. Xavier 16-0 in the second half to snare the home opener. Nobody would be shocked to see them play again in the postseason as they have in previous years.
"They're really good and they're going to get even better," Tom Bolden said. "We'll see them again. There's no doubt. That's just how it happens. We weren't very good and we come out with a W, so we've got to get better."
The Firebirds returned the Greater Miami Conference's top passer in Mitch Bolden, their top receiver in Trent Lloyd and a Division I secondary featuring recruits going to Ohio State (Hartford), Notre Dame (Minich) and Josh Fussell (Northwestern).

St. Xavier was replacing former state title-winning starters at quarterback, running back, tight end and wide receiver. Top returning rusher Steven Napier had 66 yards and top returning receiver Joey Wassler missed the game with a concussion. He should be available for their next contest.
The Long Blue Line continues as St. Xavier goes outside of Chicago a week from Saturday to play Loyola Academy on ESPN. They won't play another Cincinnati team until they host Moeller Sept. 16.
They didn't win but gained a large measure of respect for their valiant performance Friday night.
"Nobody thinks a thing about St. Xavier football this year," Specht said. "Nobody in the city thought anything about them (Bombers) until now. Our kids fight man. We couldn't finish tonight. We had a chance at the end. I'm proud of them. We're just going to get better because we're young."
Lakota West hops right into the GMC schedule with a date at neighborhood rival Lakota East next week. The battle of Lakotas is part of the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown series.

America's small businesses are fighting 'double whammy' finding workers, paying higher costs
The pandemic forced Freed Bodyworks, a wellness center offering massage therapy, yoga, acupuncture, mental health counseling and other services, to shut down for four months. But while clients returned when it reopened in the summer of 2020, workers did not.
Almost two years later, owners Frances Reed and Jessica VonDyke were forced to shut the business' doors.
"I couldn't hire anyone," said Reed. "We never had trouble with our demand for services. It was 100% a supply issue for us."
Before the pandemic, Freed Bodyworks had 20 practitioners booking up to 550 clients a month. It reopened with a skeleton crew of eight — too few, Reed said, to bring in enough revenue to sustain the business.
Two former staffers had departed for graduate school, three had moved to areas with a lower cost of living and several had to take on caregiving roles in their families. Moreover, the shutdown of in-person instruction at massage schools dried up what had once been a dependable pipeline of emerging talent.
"In the entire time period from when we reopened until closing, I managed to hire three people, and that was with full-time recruiting," they said.
Reed is far from alone. Small business owners across the United States today face an acute labor shortage, which experts warn has hit a crisis level.
Video below: Pennsylvania hotels struggle with staffing shortages
A recent survey from the National Federation of Independent Business found that about half of small-business owners said in July they still can't fill open jobs, a near-record high in the survey's roughly five-decade history.
"Hiring has never been harder for small-business owners," said Bill Dunkelberg, chief economist for the NFIB.
While the current labor market poses a challenge for employers of all sizes, small businesses have less ammunition in the battle for talent, lacking access to the kind of cash flow, credit and economies of scale that larger corporations enjoy. That makes it harder for them to offer things like competitive wages or sign-on bonuses.
"It's likely true that the big box stores are paying more," said Harry Holzer, a professor of public policy at Georgetown University.
That puts mom-and-pop businesses at a serious disadvantage. "If they're operating on tight margins, maybe they can't afford to raise wages to lure more workers," Holzer said.
Inflation is a small-biz "double whammy"
Susan Sarich founded SusieCakes in 2006 and has grown it into a 26-bakery chain, the vast majority of which are in California. But her head count has plunged from nearly 500 before the pandemic to just over 200 now — and rebuilding those ranks has become more and more difficult.
With gas prices in California still at around $5.30 per gallon, many prospective employees say they can no longer afford to commute an hour or more, Sarich said.
"We increased hourly pay close to 20% [but] the cost of living is off the charts," she said. "Some are commuting upwards of an hour and a half each way and you add on gas prices and it's like, how does the math work?" she said.
To cope, her bakeries remain closed two days a week and are open shorter hours. She has cut her product offerings, including dropping customer favorites like iced sugar cookies based on a beloved family recipe.
"The demand was there, but we didn't have the people, so we had to pivot pretty quickly to a reduced labor model. For us, that meant fewer days, fewer hours a day and fewer products," she said, adding that she is still down from her pre-pandemic revenue by about 15%.
Eric Groves, CEO of Alignable, an online platform for small businesses, said owners are taking it on the chin, with higher inflation both raising their costs and crimping their sales as consumers become more cautious.
"We're seeing this double whammy," he said. "It's harder to find people, and the costs are going up."
A recent Alignable survey found that only about a third of small businesses are making 90% or more of their pre-pandemic revenue, Groves said. That's worse than the results of a similar survey conducted last year, when 42% said they had recovered 90% or more of their pre-pandemic business.
"They do have to sometimes dial back the hours that they're open," Groves said. "It's this constant pressure of lower revenue, higher costs and challenges of just trying to get to the other side of this."

Workers still in the driver's seat — for now
There's a combination of factors working against small business owners as they try to add head count.
The July jobs report showed that the unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5%, matching the half-century low it reached in February 2020. The report also showed that the labor force participation fell slightly, to 62.1%.
"Able-bodied people of the right age are just not out there looking for jobs," said David Dollar, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
A number of factors are behind this, economists say: An ongoing shortage of care workers, lower immigration rates and a pervasive fear of the pandemic.
"A lot depends on, do people feel confident that we've got Covid under control?" Dollar said.
Video below: Businesses in Alabama work to keep up with inflation
Edward Fox owns two franchises of Tradebank, a business barter service with locations in Wichita, Kansas, and Nashville. When his sole Nashville-based employee departed at the end of 2020, he spent six months searching in vain before giving up and shuttering the office. He estimates that he sacrificed $200,000 to $300,000 in lost business as a result.
"We were hoping that the job market would bounce back, that we'd have a bunch of people applying... but, man, it has been a struggle," he said.
Fox said he was constrained in his ability to raise pay because Covid quashed many of the barter deals his business brokered, knocking out around 75% of his business. Without someone on the ground in Nashville, it made it tough to recapture that revenue. "I just think that everybody is looking for the same labor pool, and it's tough," he said.
"I think employees these days want more flexibility. I think managers don't want to let go of the control they have over the employee," he said. "I think we've got a new reality we've got to face there, too."
Big hit from small-business loss
The loss of any single small business might be a drop in the ocean for the U.S. economy, but if enough small businesses like Reed's ultimately fail due to the labor shortage, that situation could turn into an economic tsunami, experts warn. Small businesses account for nearly half of private sector employment and contribute more than 40% to the U.S. gross domestic product.
"It would be a shame to see them go out of business. You don't want the retail sector getting more and more concentrated," Holzer said.
When vacant storefronts become a fixture on Main Streets across the nation, consumers wind up with fewer choices about where they spend their money, and workers are left with fewer places to seek employment.
"Anytime you lose jobs, it reduces the overall health of the local labor market," Holzer said. "It's good for workers to have choice as well as consumers." | https://www.ksbw.com/article/americas-small-businesses-struggle-to-find-workers-pay-higher-costs/40945499 | 2022-08-20T04:01:09Z | https://www.ksbw.com/article/americas-small-businesses-struggle-to-find-workers-pay-higher-costs/40945499 | true | 20 |

Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian took their daughter Olympia to Waffle House, an American restaurant chain, for the first time on Friday, a sort of historic moment considering the same establishment indirectly contributed to the creation of Reddit, the social media platform founded by Ohanian.
Taking to Twitter, Ohanian recalled how if not for a moment of serendipity, he would have ended up as a lawyer instead of creating the social media site that led to his eventual claim to fame.
"Took Jr. to Waffle House for the first time. If you've been following me for a while, you just know how important this restaurant is," Ohanian said. "It's where it all started, not this literal one, but Waffle House. If not for Waffle House, I might be a lawyer, which no one would want."
While in the midst of taking his Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the American felt hungry, which caused him to leave the exam hall and go to a nearby Waffle House outlet. It was there that he got the spark for Reddit, a company he later sold for $10 million and is currently worth more than $10 billion.
Although the entrepreneur could not take Olympia to the exact same Waffle House, he was more than happy to introduce her to the "greatness" of the restaurant chain.
"Thankfully, in the middle of taking my LSAT, I got hungry and I got up and left. And I got to a Waffle House," Ohanian said. "And now, I am taking my daughter there, showing her the greatness of Waffle House."
"I definitely don’t want to be pregnant again as an athlete, I need to be two feet into tennis or two feet out" - Serena Williams
Meanwhile, Serena Williams is into the last leg of her tennis career as she gears up to play the last ever Grand Slam of her career at the US Open later this month. Speaking to Vogue on the occasion of her retirement announcement, the 23-time Grand Slam champion revealed that she and her husband Alexis have been trying for a second child.
It was one of the reasons that contributed to the former World No. 1's decision to hang up her racquet, as she did not want to be pregnant again while also being an athlete.
"In the last year, Alexis and I have been trying to have another child, and we recently got some information from my doctor that put my mind at ease and made me feel that whenever we’re ready, we can add to our family," Serena Williams said. "I definitely don’t want to be pregnant again as an athlete. I need to be two feet into tennis or two feet out."
With one last shot at a Major title, the 40-year-old will be hoping for a miracle at Flushing Meadows as a title run in New York will help her equal Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 Grand Slam titles. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/news-serena-williams-husband-alexis-ohanian-takes-daughter-olympia-waffle-house-first-time-reveals-establishment-led-creation-reddit | 2022-08-20T04:15:25Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/news-serena-williams-husband-alexis-ohanian-takes-daughter-olympia-waffle-house-first-time-reveals-establishment-led-creation-reddit | false | 1 |

Through social networks, the communicator expressed himself repudiating the player’s attitude towards the team’s moment
Flamengo currently competes in the three main competitions of the season, namely: Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil and Libertadores da América. In the Brasileirão, the Rubro-Negra team needs to guarantee the three points in the confrontation against the leader palm treeswhich maintains a nine-point advantage, to stay alive in the competition.
But for that, you need the entire cast and coaching staff to be focused on that. However, in the early hours of this Friday (19), the striker gabigol was caught leaving a concert hall in Barra da Tijuca. The player’s attitude had repercussions on social networks and the journalist Renato Maurício Pradohighlighted that the athlete did not have a professional attitude.
“This is not the attitude of a professional athlete, in the midst of a sequence of very important games for the three main titles of the season. Sad!”, wrote the communicator on social media after sharing the video of the player leaving the location. As I left the place, gabigol was approached by a reporter from “NGBNews” and replied only: “Okay, we’re with you. Hug”.
According to information from the portal “UOL Sports”, the player’s advice officially stated: “Gabriel was at a social moment in his life and today he showed up on time at CT to train”, clarified the note. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/20/its-not-posture-renato-mauricio-prado-is-not-intimidated-and-detonates-dorival-juniors-titular-attitude/ | 2022-08-20T04:17:12Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/20/its-not-posture-renato-mauricio-prado-is-not-intimidated-and-detonates-dorival-juniors-titular-attitude/ | false | 2 |
MLB
Pete Alonso goes double-barreled on Mets history with two records in one night
The New York Mets headed into their series against the Philadelphia Phillies with one goal: win. Their last series against the Atlanta Braves saw their lead in the division go down significantly. With the defending champions heating up, NY wants to keep as much of a cushion between them and their division rivals.
Luckily, they got some much-needed help from one of their stars: Pete Alonso. The Mets’ first baseman has been one of their better hitters over the course of the season. Against the Phillies, Alonso gave them a much-needed boost: scoring in his 100th RBI AND his 30th homer. Talk about hitting two birds with one stone! (via ESPN Stats and Info)
Pete Alonso joined David Wright tonight as the only Mets with multiple 100-RBI seasons within their first four years in the league.

The Mets have been locked in a tight race for the rights to hold the NL East with the Braves. For most of the season, New York has been leading with a comfortable margin. As the season went on, however, the defending champions have slowly but surely caught up to them. That’s not to mention the Phillies also surprising everyone by going on a tear.
A series win here would greatly help the Mets’ chances of winning the division for the first time since 2015. While they are all but assured of a Wild Card spot at this point, a first-round bye would be paramount to their chances of capturing the World Series. They certainly have the talent to make sure that happens, especially with Jacob deGrom back to form.
Hold on tight. This is going to be one hell of a race for the NL East title. | https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-pete-alonso-goes-double-barreled-on-new-york-history-with-two-records-in-one-night/ | 2022-08-20T04:17:32Z | https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-pete-alonso-goes-double-barreled-on-new-york-history-with-two-records-in-one-night/ | false | 1 |
Just how strange is MLS’ weirdest rivalry? Behind the eyebrow-raising trend of the Portland-Seattle derby

Just how strange is MLS’ weirdest rivalry? Behind the eyebrow-raising trend of the Portland-Seattle derby
Taylor Graham of Seattle Sounders battles Bright Dike of the Portland Timbers during the Lamar Hunt U.S Open Cup in 2010
On Aug. 26, 2022, the Portland Timbers and the Seattle Sounders will renew one of Major League Soccer’s fiercest rivalries. There’s no denying that these two Pacific Northwest neighbors harbor an intense distaste for one another, but there’s a twist to this rivalry: The away team has the advantage—at least based on a recent trend.
Since 2011, the first year the Timbers and Sounders were both in MLS, home teams in the league win roughly half of matches, just over twice the rate of away wins, per a Stacker analysis (draws make up the remaining quarter). The last 12 times Portland and Seattle have met in the regular season, however, the away team has won 10 times, lost once, and drawn once. That string of matches, which dates back to 2018, represents an 83% away win rate and an 8% home win rate, numbers far from the league mean.
The 10-1-1 combined away record becomes even more shocking when you consider the Sounders and Timbers reside in two of the league’s most impregnable fortresses.
Seattle, which shares Lumen Field with the NFL’s Seahawks, has won 61% of its home matches since 2011, best among all MLS clubs active throughout the entire time frame. Portland, which plays at the near-century-old Providence Park, is also above league average with a 53% home win rate.
And yet, when these two rivals clash, the home-field advantage appears to disappear.
So just how unlikely is it that a pair of MLS teams manage to win just once at home against one another over a span of 12 matches? Stacker set out to unearth the answer by analyzing regular season data from FBref.com. See what we found ahead.

Over the last 12 meetings, the away team in the Portland-Seattle rivalry has a +17 goal difference
Bar chart of the last 12 Portland-Seattle matches
While the early contests of this latest span were close, the margin has swung widely in the past year. The Sounders drubbed the Timbers 6-2 at Providence Park in August 2021—the largest margin of victory in the rivalry’s MLS history.
Two weeks later, Portland earned a 2-0 victory on the road in Seattle. And in their first meeting this season, the Timbers won 3-0 on July 9, again, while visiting their neighbors up north. All told, the away team in the past 12 Portland-Seattle matches has a plus-17 goal differential.
The lone home win came in COVID-19-impacted 2020, when Portland won 1-0 in the rain at a virtually empty Providence Park behind a 13th-minute goal from Yimmi Chara. The empty stadium win means home fans haven’t been present for a regular season victory in this rivalry since May 2018.
It’s worth noting that in the two playoff meetings between Portland and Seattle, the home team fared a bit better. Those pair of matches took place over a two-legged tie during the 2018 playoffs; the Timbers won the first leg at home while the Sounders claimed the return leg in Seattle—but failed to advance as Portland ultimately won 4-2 on penalty kicks.

The away goal difference of the Portland-Seattle rivalry stands alone in MLS history
Table showing the MLS matchups with the highest away goal difference over a 12-match span
When comparing the data to the rest of MLS, the true oddity of this rivalry begins to stick out.
Stacker analyzed all 6,925 MLS regular season matches that occurred in history from 1996 through Aug. 6, 2022. Out of the 188 matchups that have been played at least 12 times, the Timbers-Sounders series is the only one where the away team has had a 12-game span with an away goal difference above plus-1 goals per game. The series’ 17-goal margin translates to a goal difference of plus-1.42 per match.
Two series come in at plus-12 goals for the away side, or exactly plus-1 per match—the Columbus Crew versus the New York MetroStars (now the Red Bulls) and CF Montreal versus Orlando City. The 1999 to 2003 Columbus-New York span notably posted an away record of 11-1-0, slightly better than the 10-1-1 record of the Portland-Seattle series’ active run.
Also, Seattle isn’t a stranger to bucking the home-field advantage trend. Between 2013 and 2017, the Sounders played a 12-match stretch with the third piece of the Cascadia rivalry, the Vancouver Whitecaps, where the away team enjoyed a plus-11 goal differential.

Similar lopsided stretches are just as rare in Europe’s Big 5 leagues
Table showing the Big 5 European matchups with the highest away goal difference over a 12-match span
To provide a global context for the current stretch of Portland-Seattle matches, we also looked at results dating back to the first year of MLS from the five big European leagues: England, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain.
While differences in league structure, parity, and quality mean this isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison with MLS, the European leagues do provide a deeper snapshot with a wealth of data for analysis. Since 1996, there have been over 46,000 matches played in those five leagues combined, and there are 1,448 matchups with at least one 12-match span. And when you widen the data set, the rivalry between the Sounders and Timbers remains exceptional.
Just one qualifying European series between VfB Stuttgart and 1. FC Köln (Cologne) has seen a better away goal difference over 12 matches with plus-20 goals. When expanding past a 12-match span, the away supremacy of the Stuttgart-FC Köln series in Germany’s Bundesliga has been truly staggering. In October 2000, FC Köln beat Stuttgart 3-2 at home. It took the series 17 years and 20 matches later for a home team to win again in Bundesliga play—Stuttgart won 2-1 in October 2017 to end the home win drought. During the 19 matches between the home victories, the away team won 11 times with eight draws.
Another Bundesliga series, VfL Wolfsburg-Bayer 04 Leverkusen, is tied with Portland and Seattle at plus-17 goals. Interestingly, that second series is also currently active—Wolfsburg and Leverkusen are next scheduled to play one another on Oct. 20, 2022.
Despite those pair of Bundesliga series, no matchup in Europe’s Big 5 leagues has seen away teams win 10 or more matches during a 12-match span. That makes MLS the only league out of the six analyzed with such a stretch. On top of that, the Timbers-Sounders contest is a rivalry, something none of the series with similar spans can quite parallel.
Whether Portland and Seattle’s trend continues is, of course, unknown. We’ll find out on August 26 whether the Sounders can keep their end of the bargain, when they venture several hours down Interstate 5 to face the Timbers. Regardless of the upcoming match result, this rivalry has already etched one of the rarest stretches in modern soccer history into the tablets of MLS lore. | https://ktvz.com/stacker-sports/2022/08/19/just-how-strange-is-mls-weirdest-rivalry-behind-the-eyebrow-raising-trend-of-the-portland-seattle-derby/ | 2022-08-20T04:17:44Z | https://ktvz.com/stacker-sports/2022/08/19/just-how-strange-is-mls-weirdest-rivalry-behind-the-eyebrow-raising-trend-of-the-portland-seattle-derby/ | true | 11 |
Thai test for Urawa as Kobe draw Jeonbuk in Asian Champions League
By Michael Church
TOKYO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Two-time Asian Champions League winners Urawa Red Diamonds will take on Thailand's BG Pathum United in Monday's quarter-finals at Saitama Stadium with South Korea's Jeonbuk Motors facing J1 League strugglers Vissel Kobe.
Urawa, winners of the continental title in 2006 and 2016, were drawn to face Makoto Teguramori's side on Saturday after handing Malaysian outfit Johor Darul Tazim a 5-0 thrashing in the Round of 16 on Friday evening.
The Thais booked their spot with a comfortable 4-0 win over Hong Kong's Kitchee and are making their first-ever appearance in the last eight of the competition.
"Of course every team has shown something to be here in this moment, so any club is going to be difficult," said Urawa coach Ricardo Rodriguez.
"I was coach of (BG Pathum United) a few years ago so I have good memories, it will be a very special game for me.
"It will not be an easy game so we will have to show a high level."
Jeonbuk, who have also won the title twice, meet a Vissel Kobe side that put aside their poor form in the J1 League to beat fellow Japanese side Yokohama F Marinos in the previous round.
The South Koreans advanced to the last eight after a lengthy struggle against fellow K-League club Daegu FC, with Kim Jin-kyu scoring in injury time at the end of extra-time.
"No matter who we face, what we do and how we approach the game is going to be the same but we'll be playing a fantastic team from Korea and we're looking forward to that match," said Kobe coach Takayuki Yoshida.
The quarter-finals will be played on Monday with the semi-final held on Thursday. The winner of that clash with face the leading side in west Asia in the final.
Clubs in the west will hold their next round of matches in early February, with the final played on a home-and-away basis on Feb. 19 and 26.

HONOLULU (KHON2) — The U.S. Army is currently fighting a wildfire at the Makua Military Reservation.
According to the Department of the Army firefighters, the fire started around 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 19 near the south ridge of the reservation and started water bucket drops.
Army officials said around 40 acres of land have already burned.
Some may see smoke in the sky but there are no current threats to nearby buildings, according to the U.S. Army.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — Shopping at wholesale clubs can help shoppers save big bucks, depending on their needs. Both Sam’s Club and Costco are currently offering ways to save on memberships — here’s how.
Sam’s Club
Sam’s Club has a deal through September 11 that will basically get you a free 1-year membership.
The membership cost is $45 for one year, however, members will get $45 in instant savings when they spend that amount or more on qualifying purchases. The purchases must be made on one transaction within the first 60 days of membership, Sam’s Club says.
The fine print says you must show the offer on your phone when you buy a membership to get the deal.
If $45 is too much right now, Sam’s Club has another offer.
You can buy a 1-year membership for $14.99. The same membership normally costs $55 a year.
If you purchase before August 31, you’ll also receive a $10 Sam’s Club e-gift card. After factoring this in, membership will cost $4.99.
WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING
- If you take this deal, you’ll be enrolled in Sam’s Club auto-renewal and will be charged normal price when it’s time to renew your membership, unless you cancel before then.
- Existing members are not eligible for the deal.
- The $10 e-gift card will be emailed instead of being loaded onto membership cards. Contact Sam’s Club, or the membership desk in a store location if you don’t receive it.
EXTRAS
Some locations offer other perks, like free health screenings/tests, discounted gas at Sam’s stations, and use of the Sam’s Club vacation program.
WHAT TO BUY AT SAM’S CLUB
Southern Living editors recommend purchasing Sam’s Club’s $5 rotisserie chickens and gas, which can be offered at up to 5 cents per gallon below the average cost.
Costco
Costco doesn’t offer free memberships, but there are several ways you can still save.
COSTCO SHOP CARD
If you have a friend with a Costco membership, ask them to buy you a Costco Shop Card. It’ll be be mailed to you with a zero balance, but you can add money to it. While you have to be a member to buy a Costco Shop Card, you don’t have to have a membership to use it in stores or online.
You can also use a Costco Shop Card at Costco gas stations.
SHOP ONLINE
Non-members can technically shop online at Costco.com, though some items are priced higher than in stores, and other items are members-only purchases. Non-members will also pay for delivery, depending on purchase amounts.
DISCOUNTED MEMBERSHIPS
Keep an eye on Groupon if you’re thinking of taking the Costco plunge. Once or twice a year a Costco deal will be offered.
It’s typically in the realm of $60 for a 1-year-membership that includes a $40 Costco Shop Card and a coupon for $40 off $250. If you use both bonuses, you’ll technically make $20.
Costco last offered the deal in July.
BEST THINGS TO BUY AT COSTCO
Among a list of other items, Parade recommends Costco’s rotisserie chicken ($4.99) and egg cartons (up to 34% cheaper than other retailers), as top picks from the beloved retailer.
BJ ‘s Wholesale Club
Though the company ended its three-month free trial membership, it now offers a free One Day Pass, but it can only be used on BJ’s “Ship It” service.
Meanwhile, the cost for BJ’s Inner Circle membership is $55 per year and includes a complimentary membership for one person in your household, in addition to three add-on members for $30 each annually. BJ’s Perks Rewards membership is $110 per year and includes 2% cash back on most BJ’s purchases, in addition to exclusive events throughout the year. BJ’s business memberships are also available for $55 and $110 tiers and allow “tax exempt and resale privileges.” Business members can also add on eight memberships at a discounted rate.
The company also offers discounted Inner Circle memberships in some, but not all locations.
BEST THINGS TO BUY AT BJ’S
CNBC recommends buying baby supplies (similar quantities sold for less than at other membership stores) and fresh meats (up to $1.37 cheaper per pound than other membership stores, per CNBC). | https://kfor.com/news/how-to-get-free-sams-club-costco-memberships/ | 2022-08-20T04:23:08Z | https://kfor.com/news/how-to-get-free-sams-club-costco-memberships/ | false | 22 |

A top Treasury Department official is set next week to make his first official trip to India since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Amid tensions over India’s neutral stance on the invasion that began in late February, the US wants the meetings to focus on how to deepen ties with the South Asian nation.
Treasury Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo will travel to Mumbai and New Delhi for meetings that include Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office, the finance ministry, the Reserve Bank of India, and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
And as India is set to lead the Group of 20 intergovernmental forum in 2023, Treasury says Adeyemo will “discuss key shared priorities such as bolstering energy security, addressing food insecurity globally, and combatting illicit financial flows”.

India hasn’t shunned Russia despite its membership in the regional Quad alliance with the US, Australia and Japan, Instead, it has maintained its business ties with Russia, depending on the Kremlin for energy and other exports.
The nation has boosted its purchase of Russian oil, buying roughly 60 million barrels in 2022 so far, compared with only 12 million barrels in all of 2021, according to commodity data firm Kpler.
The US and Europe, however, are moving away from Russian energy — with Treasury officials promoting a price cap on Russian oil.
A Treasury statement says Adeyemo will meet with financial services and energy sectors executives in Mumbai and will speak about strengthening economic ties between the US and India.
He will also underscore “our two countries’ deep economic, security, and cultural ties” and discuss ways to build “more resilient supply chains” through the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework that India joined as a founding member in May.
India is the world’s second-most populous country and largest democracy based on a population of 1.4 billion.
On Sunday, President Joe Biden issued a statement celebrating India’s 75th anniversary of independence, calling the US and India “indispensable partners”. | https://indianexpress.com/article/world/us-treasury-official-to-visit-india-amid-ukraine-tensions-8100768/ | 2022-08-20T04:29:20Z | https://indianexpress.com/article/world/us-treasury-official-to-visit-india-amid-ukraine-tensions-8100768/ | true | 37 |

A federal judge Thursday kept jurisdiction over a lawsuit seeking to close an oil pipeline crossing a section of the Great Lakes, rejecting Michigan’s effort to shift the case to state court.
U.S. District Judge Janet Neff sided a second time with Enbridge Energy, which contends regulation of its Line 5 is a federal matter and federal courts should handle legal arguments about whether it should continue operating.
“The Court reinforces the importance of a federal forum in deciding the disputed and substantial federal issues at stake, with uniformity and consistency,” Neff said in a written decision.
Neff, based in Grand Rapids, reached the same conclusion last year after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer filed suit to enforce her order to decommission the 69-year-old pipeline. The judge’s ruling Thursday involved a separate 2019 case by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, also seeking a shutdown.
Line 5 is part of a network that moves Canadian oil and natural gas liquids used in propane to refineries in both nations. It extends 645 miles (1,038 kilometers) between Superior, Wisconsin, and Sarnia, Ontario, crossing northern Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Whitmer and Nessel, both Democrats, agree with environmental groups and Indigenous tribes that a 4-mile (6.4-kilometer) segment beneath the Straits of Mackinac poses an unacceptable spill risk to the waterway linking Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. The governor demanded a shutdown in 2020, which the company, based in Calgary, Alberta, has rejected.
Enbridge is backed by the Canadian government, which invoked a 1977 treaty with the U.S. guaranteeing cross-border flow of oil and natural gas. The Biden administration is discussing the matter with Canadian officials.
Whitmer dropped her case after Neff retained jurisdiction. Now pending before the judge are Nessel’s suit and another filed by Enbridge to have the governor’s shutdown order dismissed.
Nessel is challenging a 1953 easement granted by Michigan to run a section of the pipeline across state-owned bottomlands, saying it violates common-law “public trust” doctrine requiring the state to protect Great Lakes waters.
Neff’s ruling criticized the attorney general for repeating arguments in favor of applying state law that the judge had rejected previously. It would be “absurd” to have one Line 5 case in state court and another in federal court, she said, accusing Nessel’s team of “gamesmanship … procedural fencing and forum manipulation.”
Spokesman Amber McCann said Nessel’s office was reviewing the decision and considering its options.
Nessel “remains steadfast in her commitment to protect Michigan’s natural resources from the potentially devastating impact of environmental disaster,” McCann said. “The department strongly disagrees with the judge’s mistaken characterization of both the law and the attorney general’s approach to this and related cases.”
In a statement, Enbridge said Neff’s ruling “underscores that the state’s attempts shut down this critical energy infrastructure raises important federal questions of interstate commerce, exclusive federal jurisdiction over pipeline safety and the serious ramifications for energy security and foreign affairs.”
The judge’s decision “unfortunately prevents the state court from hearing the merits of the case,” said Mike Shriberg, director of the National Wildlife Federation’s regional office. “While we disagree with the ruling, it doesn’t change that fact that Line 5 is a ticking time bomb for the Great Lakes and needs to be shut down immediately.”
Enbridge insists the underwater segment of Line 5, which consists of two parallel pipes, is in sound condition but wants to replace it with a new pipe that would be housed in an underground tunnel to be drilled beneath the straits. The company is applying for state and federal permits.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is developing an environmental impact study of the proposal, which could last several years. The Corps on Monday announced a 60-day comment period, with Lt. Col. Brett Boyle, commander of the Detroit District, promising an “open, transparent and public” process.

Judge reinstates work requirement in Georgia Medicaid plan
ATLANTA (AP) — In a victory for Georgia’s Republican governor, a federal judge on Friday reinstated a work requirement in the state’s plan to expand Medicaid coverage to more low-income residents.
U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood said the Biden administration’s decision to revoke approval of the work requirement and a related Georgia proposal to charge some Medicaid recipients monthly premiums was “arbitrary and capricious on numerous, independent grounds.”
She called the revocation “unlawful” and set it aside.
The work requirement was approved by then-President Donald Trump’s administration, but the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Centers announced last year that it was revoking approval of that part of the plan and the premium requirement. That prompted Georgia officials to sue.
CMS does not comment on litigation as a matter of policy, the agency said in an email.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp — who proposed the Medicaid plan at issue — hailed the ruling, saying in a Tweet that his plan would “better serve Georgians than a one-size-fits all Medicaid expansion.”
CMS had argued the work requirement could be impossible for people to meet during the pandemic, when it was critical that low-income Georgians have access to health coverage.
Wood said the agency failed to consider or weigh the possibility that rescinding approval would “mean less Medicaid coverage in Georgia.”
She also said CMS wrongly measured the Georgia plan against a full Medicaid expansion and “failed to explain why it changed its mind about the key issues underlying the approval.”
Republicans had presented Georgia’s plan as a financially responsible alternative to a full expansion of Medicaid services under the Affordable Care Act, which dozens of states have already done.
The plan sought to add an estimated 50,000 poor and uninsured Georgia residents to the Medicaid rolls in its first two years. But to be eligible, new Medicaid recipients would have to engage in a minimum number of qualifying hours through work, job training, education, volunteering, or other similar activities.
Democrats in Georgia say full expansion would cover hundreds of thousands of people at a much lower cost to the state. That’s because the ACA, President Barack Obama’s signature health care law, gave states the option of expanding Medicaid to low-income adults who make up to 138% of the federal poverty level, with the federal government picking up 90% of the cost. More than 10 million people in the U.S. have gained coverage that way.
Kemp has said full expansion would cost the state too much money in the long run.

This story has been corrected to reflect that CMS announced it was revoking approval of the work and premium requirements last year, not last month.

We hope all students in the Leader-Call coverage area will take notice of today’s Page 1 story on the exceptional performance by the students at Laurel Magnet School of the Arts. The pride those students should feel is overwhelming, and for the schools striving for excellence, it should be a challenge.
The world is a difficult place, and to conquer those challenges takes, first and foremost, being educated. Without a quality education, the path to success will be difficult, to say the least. It also is not fun every day, studying and reading in an effort to be the best among us. Which brings us to this piece of Wifi wisdom. We will give you a moment to read it again.
Being the best at any craft — from playing football, running a successful business or a lemonade stand — takes discipline. Excelling in the classroom also takes discipline and a desire for excellence. Without discipline, excellence is merely a dream.
Oh, it would be so much easier to spend days roaming through Tik Tok or glued to the “idiot box” known as a television set. Being disciplined and doing the hard work is what will make productive adults, not constantly staring at screens.
We congratulate the students and educators at LMSA and urge them to continue to be disciplined, striving each day for excellence. We hope students and educators across the area take notice — and follow that example. | https://www.leader-call.com/opinion/editorials/our-view-all-local-students-should-take-notice/article_8230fedc-1ff4-11ed-8d80-a7f4d8a16e71.html | 2022-08-20T04:45:07Z | https://www.leader-call.com/opinion/editorials/our-view-all-local-students-should-take-notice/article_8230fedc-1ff4-11ed-8d80-a7f4d8a16e71.html | false | 1 |
PONCE DE LEON, Fla. (WMBB) — While the rest of the Panhandle has their focus on the start of high school football season, Ponce De Leon continues to live and breathe the game of basketball.
The entire Ponce De Leon student body, and much of the community, watched as the Lady Pirates basketball team received their state championship rings on Friday, following their second consecutive 1A State Title back in February.
The PDL girls basketball program is home to a handful of state championships, and they expect more to come in the future.
“Just knowing the amount of little girls that will look up to us,” recent Ponce De Leon grad and two-time state champion Lindy Motley said. “Looking up to the 2012 state championship team was a cool experience for me.”
“I remember, like lindy said, wanting to be the girls up on the wall, that came back, won state, they were all praised because basketball all we have here, and softball and baseball, but we don’t have much other than that, so just being able to succeed in that sport, it’s wonderful,” recent Ponce De Leon grad and two-time state champion Cadence Alford said.
The Lady Pirates hope to unveil their 2022 banner at their first home game this winter. | https://www.mypanhandle.com/sports/local-sports/ponce-de-leon-receives-state-championship-rings/ | 2022-08-20T04:47:04Z | https://www.mypanhandle.com/sports/local-sports/ponce-de-leon-receives-state-championship-rings/ | true | 1 |
Due to the cost of living crisis rising, millions of pensioners are encouraged to apply for financial help. Many people across the country could be missing out on huge benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) according to Age UK.
Pensioners could be receiving Attendance Allowance, but the latest reports say that many claimants aged state pension age do not claim the benefit. The latest figures show that £15billion is lost in unclaimed benefits every year and it is due because the process is over complicated.
Attendance Allowance in the highest rate of over £90 is paid by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to pensioners who have problems washing, getting around or taking medication, LancsLive reports.

There are two different amounts that people are entitled to, and it all comes down to the care that is needed and not the disability. A lower rate of £61.85 a week, is given if a person needs help or supervision during the day or at night.
How much is Attendance Allowance?
But a higher rate of £92.40 is available for anyone who needs help during the day and overnight, or if they are terminally ill. Overall, people have the chance to claim up to £370 per month.
It has been advised that when filling out the form, claimants should state the help they need and what help they don't need. Any claimant must have a disability or health condition they've struggled with for at least six months, unless they are seriously ill.
They shouldn't expect the person making the decision to know about their condition. Another simple tip is to explain if certain tasks take longer and to not be afraid to repeat information if it’s relevant.
A 77-year-old woman told the Express about how hard the process was to claim for her mother. She and her husband spent an entire weekend filling out the forms which they say were unnecessarily complicated.
Lynda, 77, said she struggled to apply for Attendance Allowance for her mother. “I don’t know how an elderly person with no support is expected to fill this in," she said.
Six common myths usually prevent people from applying Attendance Allowance:
- The claim form is too long - ask a relative, friend or Age UK for help
- Benefits stigma - there is no shame in claiming financial support
- No one can get it - appeal if previously turned down
- Carer - applicants don’t need one
- Income - it’s not means tested
- Applicants don’t need a carer - it can be spent on bills or other things

On Chile rivers, Native spirituality and development clash
For the Mapuche, Chile’s largest Indigenous group and more than 10 percent of its population, a pristine river like the Truful Truful, flowing from a lava field under an Andean volcano, is the home of a spiritual force to revere, not a natural resource to exploit
On Chile rivers, Native spirituality and development clash
Show all 24Mist suddenly arose from the Truful Truful River as it flowed below the snow-covered Llaima volcano, and Victor Curin smiled at the sun-dappled water spray.
A leader in one of the Indigenous communities by the river’s shores in the Chilean Andes, Curin took it as a sign that the waterfall’s ngen — its owner and protector spirit — approved of his visit and prayer that mid-July morning.
“Nature always tells you something, always answers,” said Curin, who works as a park ranger in Conguillio National Park, at the river’s headwaters. “Human beings feel superior to the space where they go, but for us Mapuche, I belong to the earth, the earth doesn’t belong to me.”
In the worldview of the Mapuche, Chile’s largest Indigenous group and more than 10% of its population, a pristine river is home to a spiritual force to revere, not a natural resource to exploit.
That has led many Mapuche across Chile’s water-rich south to fight hydroelectric plants and other projects they see as desecrating nature and depriving Indigenous communities of essential energies that keep them from getting sick.
“Being part of nature, we cannot destroy part of ourselves,” said Lientur Ayenao, a machi or healer and spiritual guide who draws water from the Truful Truful for his ceremonies.
___
Some 200 miles to the south, another machi, Millaray Huichalaf, has led a sometimes-violent battle against hydroelectric plants on the Pilmaiquen River, which flows through rolling pastures from a lake in the Andes’ foothills.
After her resistance and cultural consultations with Indigenous communities, an energy company froze plans for a plant by a riverside sacred site and said it would return ownership of the land to the Mapuche.
But construction is continuing on another plant, so the fight isn’t over — just as it isn’t on the Truful Truful, where a proposed plant is under review.
“At the same time as we’re fighting for the river, we’re in the process of territorial recovery and spiritual reconstruction,” Huichalaf said as a thunderstorm pounded her wooden cabin.
It’s on the question of rights over Indigenous land, a volatile issue in Chile’s politics, that spirituality gets entangled with ideology. Several Mapuche leaders say spirits appearing in dreams encourage the fight against capitalism.
Next month, Chileans will vote on a new and controversial constitution spotlighting Indigenous rights and land restitution. But they’re also dealing with growing attacks against agricultural, logging and energy industries, particularly in the Araucania region.
For most Mapuche, such violence further destabilizes the desired balance between people, the natural space they belong to and the spirits that inhabit it. A first step against it is to ensure non-Natives understand how nature matters to the Mapuche, Indigenous leader and mediator Andrés Antivil Álvarez said.
“The world is not loot,” he said sitting by the fire in his ruka, a traditional building outside his house. “You have to understand that the spirit of this fire, present here, is as sacred as the Christ in a church.”

Mapuche community members’ reverence is evident when they walk alongside rivers like the Truful Truful, whose name means “from waterfall to waterfall” in the Mapudungun language.
Failure to ask the ngen’s permission to approach the water, or to explain the need to do so, Ayenao said by the river's main waterfall, means transgressing on the space, alienating the spirits protecting it and making you, your family and even your animals sick.
But if the ngen permits it, then Ayenao can use the falling water’s distinctive “energy power” for healing purposes.
After nearly a decade of multiple environmental and cultural evaluations, as well as legal appeals, a new hydroelectric plant right by the waterfall has been temporarily blocked in court. The community hopes a final ruling will definitively scuttle the project, said Sergio Millaman, the attorney who won the latest appeal.
In April, Chile’s water code was updated to better protect various rights including the use of water at its source for conservation or ancestral customs, said Juan José Crocco, an attorney specializing in water regulation and management. It's unclear how a new constitution might alter that or apply to hydroelectric projects, however.
___
A bitter battle under Huichalaf’s leadership started a decade ago to stop three such plants on the Pilmaiquen River. She began having dreams about Kintuantü, a ngen living by a broad river bend.
“Kintuantü told me that I had to speak for him because he was dying,” Huichalaf said.
A plant would have raised the river right to the cliffside caves where the ngen lives. Atop the cliff is a Mapuche ceremonial compound, including a cemetery, from where souls are believed to travel via underground water flows through the caves, into the Pilmaiquen and on to eventual reincarnation.
Huichalaf led an occupation there. A private home burned down, and protesters clashed with police. More protests and lawsuits followed, dividing the Indigenous communities around the river, and Huichalaf was jailed for several months.
Now Statkraft, the Norwegian state-owned energy company that bought the Pilmaiquen projects, is working with the Chilean government to return ownership of the ceremonial compound, said its Chile manager, María Teresa González.
González said the company learned the importance of engaging Indigenous communities and it’s doing just that with another plant being constructed on the Pilmaiquen, while condemning ongoing violence against its workers.
For Huichalaf, the fight continues: “Our big goal is that the companies on the river will leave.”
___
Back on the black volcanic field crossed by the Truful Truful, Curin defined his people’s goal in more essential terms.
“What does the Mapuche world fight for? What does the Mapuche world protect? Not a world of money,” he said. “Mapuche culture is very spiritual, very much of the heart. It’s not random that we’re still here.”
Then he knelt to sip from the river’s water and got back to his park ranger post.

MELIPEUCO, Chile (AP) — Mist suddenly arose from the Truful Truful River as it flowed below the snow-covered Llaima volcano, and Victor Curin smiled at the sun-dappled water spray.
A leader in one of the Indigenous communities by the river’s shores in the Chilean Andes, Curin took it as a sign that the waterfall’s ngen — its owner and protector spirit — approved of his visit and prayer that mid-July morning.
“Nature always tells you something, always answers,” said Curin, who works as a park ranger in Conguillio National Park, at the river’s headwaters. “Human beings feel superior to the space where they go, but for us Mapuche, I belong to the earth, the earth doesn’t belong to me.”

“Being part of nature, we cannot destroy part of ourselves,” said Lientur Ayenao, a machi or healer and spiritual guide who draws water from the Truful Truful for his ceremonies. “You have to keep the balance, and this is broken when one intervenes in natural spaces for a selfish purpose.”

Some 200 miles to the south, another machi, Millaray Huichalaf, has led a sometimes-violent battle against hydroelectric plants on the Pilmaiquen River, which flows through rolling pastures from a lake in the Andes’ foothills.
After her resistance and cultural consultations with Indigenous communities, an energy company froze plans for a plant by a riverside sacred site and said it would return ownership of the land to the Mapuche.

It’s on the question of rights over Indigenous land, a volatile issue in Chile’s politics, that spirituality gets entangled with ideology. Several Mapuche leaders say spirits appearing in dreams encourage the fight against capitalism in their ancestral territory.
Next month, Chileans will vote on a new and controversial constitution spotlighting Indigenous rights and land restitution. But they’re also dealing with growing violent attacks against agricultural, logging and energy industries, particularly in the Araucania region, including by some groups claiming Mapuche ancestral lands that were never fully conquered by the Spanish empire and only fell to the Chilean state at the end of the 19th century.
For most Mapuche, such violence further destabilizes the desired balance between people, the natural space they belong to and the spirits that inhabit it. A first step against it is to ensure non-Natives understand how nature matters to the Mapuche, Indigenous leader and mediator Andrés Antivil Álvarez said.
“The world is not loot. Everything that’s outside is also inside ourselves,” he said, sitting by the fire in his ruka, a traditional building outside his house near Araucania’s capital, a two-hour drive from the Truful Truful. “You have to understand that the spirit of this fire, present here, is as sacred as the Christ in a church.”
And trampling a crucifix — as some protesters did in 2019 mass uprisings — is as painful and evil as damming a river, Antivil said. He cited as an example construction in the early 2000s of the Ralco dam, which flooded sacred compounds and generated an uproar that prevented similar massive projects and energized cultural resistance to smaller ones.

Mapuche community members' reverence is evident when they walk alongside rivers like the Truful Truful, whose name means “from waterfall to waterfall” in the Mapudungun language.
On a chilly afternoon, Ayenao approached the river’s largest waterfall, the proposed site of a new hydroelectric plant, with a bag of seeds in his pocket. That would be a reciprocity offering for the river’s ngen should Ayenao decide to draw water to treat his patients’ physical and spiritual ailments.
“Ngen existed before us and it’s they who allow us to live in a place. And there are some predominant ngen to whom we need to pray” like the Truful Truful’s, he said.
Failure to ask the ngen’s permission to approach the water, or to explain the need to do so, means transgressing on the space, alienating the spirits protecting it and making you, your family and even your animals sick.
But if the ngen permits it, then Ayenao can use the falling water’s distinctive “energy power” for healing purposes, either in riverside ceremonies or by taking large soda bottles full of it back to his house.
Relocated to Temuco when he was 6, Ayenao eventually moved to Santiago, Chile's capital, to study and there got so sick he couldn’t walk or talk. His family realized the only remedy was to accept that the spirit of his great-grandmother, also a healer, was asking to come back in him.
He apprenticed for three years and returned to practice traditional medicine on a tiny plot of land in the broad valley downstream from the village of Melipueco, named for the union of the Truful Truful and three other waterways.
Now the spirit of a nearby river where a fish farm is planned has been asking in dreams for Ayenao’s help.
“The ngen asks me and demands of me that I need to protect it, and thus contribute to health,” said Ayenao, 28. “We as human beings ... are the messengers of the ngen mapu to stop” the extraction and sale of natural resources.
___
More spiritual guides like Ayenao are needed to remedy the loss of environmental, medicinal and linguistic knowledge caused by enforced assimilation policies in the past, when many Indigenous people grew up alienated from their roots in marginalized big-city settlements, said Artemio Huenupi, a Mapuche elder.
“Our wisdom is entirely based on the territory of nature. We live in this space to take care of it. It’s other cultures that say that they own the land,” he added, speaking in the small museum of Mapuche culture he curates in Melipeuco.
At a July nighttime village concert to raise funds for Ayenao’s thatched-roof gathering space, community members recounted how they have banded together to oppose a hydroelectric plant on the Truful Truful.
After nearly a decade of multiple environmental and cultural evaluations, as well as legal appeals, the plant has been temporarily blocked in court, said Claudio Melillan, a Melipeuco city councilor who recently returned to his ancestral lands for what he called “a stage of reconstruction” of his Mapuche identity.
The community hopes a final ruling will definitively scuttle the project, which threatens to harm the waterfall that’s considered a crucial source of spiritual energy, said Sergio Millaman, the attorney who won the latest appeal.
But some human impact is already evident, from an increase in tourism to the diminished flow compared with the powerful river many remember from their childhood.
Despite this winter’s abundant rain and snowfall, Chile is facing a worrisome climate change-driven drought, which has compounded tensions over water use, said Juan Pablo Herane, a hydrology expert with the Global Change Center at Santiago’s Catholic University.
In April, after more than a decade’s legal wrangling, the country’s water code was updated to better protect various rights including the use of water at its source for conservation or ancestral customs, said Juan José Crocco, an attorney specializing in water regulation and management.
It’s unclear, however, if a new constitution might alter that and how the code will be implemented in the case of hydroelectric plants that technically don’t extract water but reroute it to create energy, said Benjamín Bulnes, a water rights attorney who worked on the new code and has fished on the Pilmaiquen River.
___
The first hydroelectric plant on the Pilmaiquen, built in the mid-20th century, sits across the road from a Mapuche-administered botanical garden spotlighting native trees.
A bitter battle under Huichalaf’s leadership started a decade ago to stop three other plants several miles downstream. Like Ayenao, she got seriously ill as a child in the nearby city of Osorno until her family realized it was an ancestor’s spirit wanting to come back in her as a healer.
During years of training to assume that role, she started having dreams about Kintuantü, a ngen living by a broad bend of the Pilmaiquen.
“I am a medium of energy. Through dreams and visions in trance, Kintuantü told me that I had to speak for him because he was dying,” Huichalaf said.
A plant would have raised the river right to the cliffside caves where the ngen lives. Atop the cliff is a Mapuche ceremonial compound, including a cemetery, from where souls are believed to travel via underground water flows through the caves, into the Pilmaiquen and on to eventual reincarnation.
Huichalaf led an occupation there. A private home burned down, and protesters clashed with police. More protests and lawsuits followed, dividing the Indigenous communities around the river.
Huichalaf was jailed for several months. But she said she doesn’t fear prison because she managed to save the site, where she gathers medicinal herbs and performs sacred ceremonies: “The ngen is still there.”
Statkraft, the Norwegian state-owned energy company that bought the Pilmaiquen projects, is working with the Chilean government to return ownership of the ceremonial compound. Construction was stopped after the company realized the proposed plant’s cultural impact was “unacceptable,” said Statkraft’s Chile manager, María Teresa González.
González said the company learned the importance of understanding the Indigenous worldview and engaging different communities from the start, and it’s doing just that with another plant being constructed on the Pilmaiquen.
But she condemned ongoing violence such as the recent burning of a truck carrying a half-dozen workers. Nobody has been charged in the late June attack.
For Huichalaf, the fight continues: “Our big goal is that the companies on the river will leave."

Back on the black volcanic field crossed by the Truful Truful, as a snowstorm approached a nearby peak with thousand-year-old araucaria trees, Curin defined his people’s goal in more essential terms.

Russia has reported fresh Ukrainian drone attacks, a day after explosions erupted near military bases in Russian-held areas of Ukraine and Russia itself, apparent displays of Kyiv's growing ability to hit Moscow's assets far from front lines.
FIGHTING
* Blasts at the Saky air base in the annexed Crimean peninsula earlier this month have put more than half the Russian Black Sea fleet's naval aviation combat jets out of use, a Western official said.
* The fleet is to receive 12 new vessels alongside additional aviation and land-based vehicles this year, newly appointed commander Vice Admiral Viktor Sokolov said on Friday, state-owned TASS news agency reported.
DIPLOMACY
* Russia has no moral right to sit at the Group of 20 nations while it presses on with its invasion of Ukraine, Britain's foreign ministry said, hours after G20 host Indonesia said President Vladimir Putin would attend the group's November summit in Bali.
* Putin warned his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron that shelling of the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, which he blamed on Kyiv, could result in a large-scale disaster. According to Macron's office, Putin agreed to an International Atomic Energy Agency mission to the plant.
* US President Joe Biden's latest security assistance package for Ukraine includes surveillance drones and for the first time mine-resistant vehicles, a senior US defence official said.
ECONOMY
* China's imports of Russian coal jumped 14 per cent in July from a year earlier to their highest in at least five years, as a looming EU ban over the war forced Moscow to sell at a discount to buyers such as China and India. Russia remained China's top oil supplier for a third month.
* S&P Global raised Ukraine's foreign currency credit ratings above "selective default", noting Kyiv had completed a distressed debt restructuring.
* A panel of investors determined Ukraine's two-year sovereign debt freeze, agreed with creditors last week, justified payment of default insurance known as credit default swaps. The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee said it will hold an auction in the first half of September to settle the contracts.
* Ukraine's economy could contract 35-to-40 per cent by the end of the year, Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said. Output shrank more than 15 per cent in the first quarter. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/conflict/ukraine-and-russia-what-you-need-to-know-c-7947064 | 2022-08-20T05:01:19Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/conflict/ukraine-and-russia-what-you-need-to-know-c-7947064 | false | 1 |
Inside the newly-renovated New Inn pub in Great Limber just two miles from Humberside Airport
Hundreds are expected to turn up for a few pints over the next few days
The New Inn pub and hotel in Great Limber has finally reopened after being shut for around 20 months.
Slawek Mikolajczyk, 39, and his family took over the local from Monday, August 1 and instantly started on work on a number of renovations. After giving the space a new paint job and a general tidy, the New Inn opened its doors yet again on Friday, August 12.
As of right now, the bar is only serving drinks and bar snacks in an attempt to not fluster the bar staff. However, from next week, they are looking to start serving pub classics such as fish and chips, steaks and macaroni and cheese.

"We always said we'd take it with a slow approach, so we are only serving drinks right now," Slawek told Grimsby Live. "It's just so it's not too much for the bar staff and kitchen to take on straight away."
In the near future, the family is looking to introduce a new a la carte menu which will take influence from Mr Mikolajczyk's 20-year's worth of experience in the kitchen. He said he was particularly looking forward to showcasing his take on a hot dog which includes homemade mustard, shallots and a lot of parmesan cheese.
Eager customers flocked to the pub within just ten minutes of its reopening. There has been a great response from the locals of Great Limber and the surrounding villages and so hundreds are expected to turn up for a few pints and a few gin and tonics over the next few days.

Gazprom to shut pipeline for three days in new shock to Europe
Brussels: Russian energy giant Gazprom will stop delivering natural gas to Europe through its main pipeline for three days, further squeezing energy supplies just as Germany is trying to build up stocks for the winter.
The Russian producer said it won’t ship any gas to Germany via the Nord Stream pipeline from August 31 through September 2 for maintenance reasons.
The work will involve the only functioning turbine at the Portovaya compressor station that can pump gas into the pipeline. Portovaya compressor station is on the Russian coast on the Baltic Sea.
The European gas market has been on edge for months as Russia progressively cut deliveries through the pipeline, most recently to just 20 per cent of capacity.
Gazprom has cited issues with turbines, but European politicians insist the curbs are politically motivated as Russia retaliates against sanctions imposed after it invaded Ukraine.
The shutdown will occur just as Germany rushes to fill storage sites to at least 95 per cent capacity by November. That still may not guarantee there will be enough gas for the winter if Russia cuts off supply, Germany’s energy regulator said. Russia also limits deliveries to Europe via Ukraine.
While turning off Nord Stream for three days is a serious blow to already fragile markets, it could have been worse.
The maintenance, which is brief and not being done in the middle of peak heating demand, shows that the lone turbine is being kept up and may continue functioning for the time being. Back in July, the pipeline was shut for 10 days for annual maintenance, and many feared supplies wouldn’t resume at all.
Gazprom’s statement “will be treated with a massive pinch of salt by the market, as concerns will be rife that the pipe does not return to service either on time, or at all,” said Tom Marzec-Manser, head of gas analytics at ICIS in London.
European gas prices posted the longest run of weekly gains this year Friday, intensifying the pain for industries and households, and threatening to push economies into recession.
The upcoming maintenance will be carried out with Siemens Energy, which made the turbines and has service contracts with Gazprom, according to the statement.
“Upon completion of the work and the absence of technical malfunctions of the unit, gas transport will be restored to the level of 33 million cubic meters per day,” Gazprom said.
That equals the 20 per cent of capacity in effect now. The pipeline can carry about 167 million cubic meters per day.
The Portovaya compressor station in Russia, where the pipeline begins, is designed to operate six major and two smaller turbines. One turbine is stranded in Germany after maintenance in Canada, while others still in Russia need repairs either in Canada or at the site.
European benchmark futures soared as much as 9 per cent after Gazprom’s announcement.

Pixel Watch’s battery life has seemingly just been confirmed
Google will reveal its first own-brand smartwatch, called the Pixel Watch , alongside the new Pixel 7 smartphone family, later this year.
Although that autumn launch is still a little while away, information about the upcoming wearable is starting to leak out. The latest tidbit of information concerns battery life and outlines the device’s support for Fitbit health-tracking features.
Discovered by 9to5Google , and buried within the latest version of the Fitbit app, is a mention regarding how the Pixel Watch will handle sleep tracking and its own battery status.
A message intended for future Pixel Watch owners to read states: “Get a notification before your bedtime goal if your Pixel Watch battery is too low to track a night’s sleep.”
This in itself is a useful feature for a smartwatch to have, as battery life of most models often struggles to reach 24 hours, making sleep tracking tricky. The Apple Watch , for example, has a quoted battery life of 18 hours, meaning users need to give the battery a daily top-up to ensure it can last all day, then track sleep right through the night.
The software also includes an example of what a notification will look like, stating: “Time to charge your watch. You’ll need at least 30% charge to track a full night’s sleep.”
Given this, it looks like an earlier claim of a 24-hour battery right is starting to sound accurate. As eight hours is recommended for a proper night’s sleep, we can extrapolate that 10 percent charge would equal about 2.67 hours, or a third of that eight-hour night. Multiple by 10 to reach 100 percent and we come to a battery life of about 26 or 27 hours.
This is a decent amount for a fully-fledged smartwatch, especially given those eight hours of sleep tracking will likely have the heart rate monitor constantly running, and potentially using more battery than during other parts of the day.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A fire at a munitions depot near the Russian village of Timonovo has led to the evacuation of two villages in Russia's Belgorod region on Ukraine’s northeastern border, an official said Friday. The blaze was the latest in a series of destructive incidents on Russian-occupied territory in Ukraine or inside Russia itself.
Roughly 1,100 people reside in the villages of Timonovo and Soloti, around 15 miles from the Ukrainian border. There were no casualties in the blaze late Thursday, Belgorod regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said.
The fire came days after another ammunition depot exploded on the Crimean Peninsula, a Russian-occupied territory on the Black Sea that was annexed by Moscow in 2014.
Last week, nine Russian warplanes were reported destroyed at an airbase on Crimea, demonstrating both the Russians’ vulnerability and the Ukrainians’ capacity to strike deep behind enemy lines. Ukrainian authorities have stopped short of publicly claiming responsibility.
But President Volodymyr Zelenskyy alluded to Ukrainian attacks behind enemy lines after the blasts in Crimea, which Russia has blamed on “sabotage.”
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in televised remarks Friday that statements from Ukrainian officials about striking facilities in Crimea mark “an escalation of the conflict openly encouraged by the United States and its NATO allies.”
Ryabkov said Russian officials had warned the U.S. against such actions in phone calls with high-level members of the Biden administration, adding that “deep and open U.S. involvement” in the war in Ukraine "effectively puts the U.S. on the brink of becoming a party to the conflict.“
“We don’t want an escalation," Ryabkov said. "We would like to avoid a situation where the U.S. becomes a party to the conflict, but so far we haven’t seen their readiness to deeply and seriously consider those warnings.”
Meanwhile, Kyiv and Moscow continued to accuse each other of shelling Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, stoking international fears of a catastrophe on the continent.
On Friday, Nikolai Patrushev, the secretary of Russia’s Security Council, accused the U.S. of encouraging Ukrainian attacks on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine. The facility has been controlled by Russian forces since shortly after the invasion began on Feb. 24.
“In case of a technological disaster, its consequences will be felt in every corner of the world,” Patrushev said. “Washington, London and their accomplices will bear full responsibility for that.”
Ukraine has accused Russia of storing troops and weapons at the Zaporizhzhia plant and using its grounds to launch strikes against Ukrainian-controlled territory. Ukrainian officials and military analysts say Moscow’s forces have cynically employed the plant as a shield, knowing that the Ukrainians would be hesitant to fire back.
Russia has denied the accusations and, in turn, accused Ukrainian forces of repeatedly shelling the plant.
Following a visit to Ukraine on Thursday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Zelenskyy had asked him to ensure that Russia remove weapons stored at the plant as an “important step for world peace.”
“Zelenskyy asked this of us especially: that Russia remove all mines and similar (weapons) there and for the issue to rapidly cease to be frightening. Because it is a threat,” Erdogan said.
Erdogan, whose country has maintained close relations with both Ukraine and Russia, said he would discuss the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that “Russia must do its part in this regard.”
The Turkish president made the comments to a group of Turkish journalists on his return from a visit with Zelenskyy and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres in Ukraine late on Thursday. His comments were reported by Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency and other media on Friday.
At that meeting in the western city of Lviv, far from the front lines, the leaders discussed expanding exchanges of prisoners of war and arranging for U.N. atomic energy experts to visit and help secure the nuclear power plant.
Yevgeny Balitsky, the Moscow-backed chief of temporary administration for the Russia-controlled part of the Zaporizhzhia region, said Friday that a mission from the International Atomic Energy Agency could approach the plant from Ukrainian-held territory, a shift in Moscow's position which previously had suggested that the IAEA mission should travel to the plant from Crimea.
“I believe they may also come from the side of Ukraine,” Balitsky said in televised remarks. “We can safely bring them to the plant and show where the fire is coming from and who is shooting.”
Mikhail Ulyanov, the Russian envoy to international organizations in Vienna where the IAEA is based, said he believes a visit by the agency could realistically take place in early September.
IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
— U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres visited a port in the coastal Ukrainian city of Odesa, where he praised ongoing efforts to maintain a shipping corridor on the Black Sea allowing for the export of vital Ukrainian grain shipments. Guterres said that 25 ships have departed from Odesa and other Ukrainian ports since Russia and Ukraine signed a four-month grain export deal in July. Those ships have carried over 600,000 tons of grain and other food supplies like wheat, corn, sunflower oil and soy beans, Guterres said, adding that getting more food and fertilizer out of Ukraine and Russia is crucial to further calm global commodity markets and lower prices. Gutteres also urged unimpeded access to global markets of Russian food and fertilizer, which aren't subject to sanctions. “Without fertilizer in 2022, there may not be enough food in 2023,” he said.
— At least five people were killed and 10 others were wounded by the Russian shelling of towns and villages in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, according to regional authorities. The shelling damaged residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in the embattled region where Russian forces are pushing to overtake areas still held by Ukraine.
— At least one civilian died early Friday in Russian shelling of the city of Kharkiv, to the northwest of the Donetsk region, while Russian missiles in the southern port city of Mykolaiv again struck port facilities and a university building that was previously hit by shelling earlier this week. One person was wounded in the attacks, authorities said. | https://norfolkdailynews.com/news/national/news_national/2-russian-villages-evacuated-after-fire-at-munitions-depot/article_ec69a91c-1fc6-11ed-87ce-5b6d0338e5d8.html | 2022-08-20T05:10:08Z | https://norfolkdailynews.com/news/national/news_national/2-russian-villages-evacuated-after-fire-at-munitions-depot/article_ec69a91c-1fc6-11ed-87ce-5b6d0338e5d8.html | true | 33 |

The Yemen Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster launched the WASH Needs Tracking System (WANTS) with the support of REACH to provide high quality WASH data and inform more effective WASH programming and planning. The WANTS comprises a set of harmonized monitoring tools which, through partner data collection, provide updated information and analysis on WASH access and needs throughout Yemen.
The common key informant (KI) interview tool is a community-level WANTS tool used in common priority districts. The findings below are based on five (n=5) common key informant (KI) interviews conducted across 5 communities in Jabal Habashi district, Ta'iz governorate. The type of assessed locality was rural. KIs are reporting WASH needs of their own communities. Data was collected by Solidarites International (SI) in June 2022. These findings should be interpreted as indicative of the WASH needs in Jabal Habashi district. | https://reliefweb.int/report/yemen/yemen-wash-needs-tracking-system-wants-common-ki-jabal-habashi-district-taiz-governorate-june-2022 | 2022-08-20T05:21:58Z | https://reliefweb.int/report/yemen/yemen-wash-needs-tracking-system-wants-common-ki-jabal-habashi-district-taiz-governorate-june-2022 | true | null |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Will Smith’s fielder’s choice-grounder scored Mookie Betts with the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 Friday night for their major league-leading 34th come-from-behind victory.
After six scoreless innings, the Dodgers rallied with runs in the seventh and eighth.
“That was huge,” Dodgers starter Tyler Anderson said. “We never die. There's always a lot of fight in every guy.”
Betts scored on the bizarre play in which Marlins catcher Jacob Stallings abandoned the plate. Third baseman Jon Berti fielded Smith’s grounder and wanted to throw home, but Stallings had moved toward first base, leaving no one at the plate.
“We got a little fortunate,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
Betts tripled leading off for the last of his three hits, Trea Turner grounded out and Freddie Freeman was intentionally walked to set up Smith.
Trayce Thompson's stellar defense robbed Nick Fortes of a potential tying homer leading off the ninth. He leaped to make the catch and crashed into the center field wall but held onto the ball.
“Off the bat I thought I had a good beat on it,” Thompson said. “I didn't think it was going over the fence.”
Chris Martin (4-0) got the victory with one inning of relief. Evan Phillips pitched the ninth to earn his second save as the major league-best Dodgers improved to 22-6 since the All-Star break.
Former Dodger Dylan Floro (0-2) gave up one run and one hit in one inning of relief.
The Dodgers tied the game 1-1 on Thompson’s RBI double down the third-base line in the seventh. Justin Turner, who singled leading off, scored on left fielder Jerar Encarnación’s throwing error that missed the cutoff man and allowed Thompson to take third.
Encarnación’s RBI double on an 0-2 pitch with two outs in the seventh gave Miami a 1-0 lead.
Miami starter Jesús Luzardo allowed one run and four hits in 6 1/3 innings. The left-hander struck out seven and walked two.
“Luzardo has got an amazing arm and he was just on tonight,” Thompson said. “We were just happy to get him out of the game.”
Anderson gave up one run and five hits in seven innings. The left-hander struck out six and walked three.
“I didn't feel like I had my best stuff,” Anderson said. “It was more of a day of just trying to compete. You just try to take it pitch-by-pitch.”
TRAINER'S ROOM
Marlins: Placed 1B/DH Garrett Cooper on the injured list with a concussion.
Dodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (low back pain) tossed a bullpen session off the mound. Next up is another bullpen, followed by a simulated game and then he'll likely be activated if all goes well. ... RHP Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) is set to return to the Dodgers on Monday. ... RHP Yency Almonte (right elbow tightness) will throw the next few days in a row.
UP NEXT
Marlins: Rookie LHP Braxton Garrett (2-6, 3.67 ERA) has allowed two runs or fewer in seven of his 13 starts.
Dodgers: RHP Dustin May makes his season debut Saturday. He underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2021. He recently made his fifth and final start for Triple-A Oklahoma City, compiling a 1.89 ERA with 33 strikeouts over 19 innings.
