Sickle cell disease: nearly 50% of patients receive poor care, says global study
Nearly half of people with sickle cell disease do not have their condition taken seriously, according to a landmark survey.
About 48% of patients who took part in research looking at the experiences of people living with the hereditary blood disorder said they were treated like drug addicts when they tried to get emergency pain relief.
More than 1,300 patients and healthcare professionals from 10 countries, including Brazil, Oman, France, Bahrain, the UK and Saudi Arabia, participated in the survey, published by biopharmaceutical company Global Blood Therapeutics (GBT).
More than a third (38%) of patients said they believed their ethnicity was a factor in receiving poor healthcare. Sickle cell disease is most common in people in, or with ancestors from, sub Saharan Africa.
More than half of those who took part in the sickle cell health awareness, perspectives and experiences (Shape) survey, one of the largest conducted into the disease, said they received poor care because medics lacked knowledge about the condition.
As well as severe pain, 84% of patients said fatigue had the biggest impact on their lives, but only 53% of medics said they felt they had the tools to treat it.
On average, patients said they missed more than seven days of school or work a month and more than half said the disease had affected their mental health.
Sickle cell disease changes the shape of blood cells into crescents, hindering blood flow. Sufferers experience severe painful episodes, which can require hospital admission. The drug Hydroxyurea can reduce the number of episodes, but the only cure is a bone marrow transplant. Life expectancy can be 20 to 30 years shorter than the general population.
About 5% of the global population carry the gene and some 300,000 babies are born with the disease each year. The majority with the disease in low-income countries will die before they are five.
“In recent years, we’ve started to see some positive change, but it is still not enough,” said Dianaba Ba, who lives with sickle cell and is director of operations at the French patient advocacy group SOS Globi: The Federation of Sickle Cell and Thalassemic Patients.
“The challenges for patients seem endless and this survey highlights that, in spite of this, patients do not feel heard. They continue to face acute physical but also emotional damage, stigma and discrimination.”
Manjusha Chatterjee, from NCD Alliance, said sickle cell and other non-communicable diseases are more than a health issue.
“They are a major human rights and equity issue, as they disproportionately burden the poorest and most marginalised populations. In countries everywhere, this includes ethnic minorities. Urgent steps need to be taken so that health systems are inclusive and no one is left behind,” she said.
“Although millions of people around the world live with sickle cell disease, it is still considered a rare condition. Simply getting a correct diagnosis of a rare disease is difficult – on average, it takes seven years.”

Dr Baba Inusa, professor and consultant of paediatric haematology at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS foundation trust in London, called the survey results a wake-up call.
“The Shape survey is important because it illustrates how vital it is that we understand our patients’ needs, and it suggests what we in the medical community can do to help change perspectives, increase education and awareness, and improve care,” he said.
“I believe that the actions that follow can enable us to help drive a better dialogue and improved conversations around the management and care of this long-neglected and devastating disease.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2707034612661/sickle-cell-disease-nearly-50-of-patients-receive-poor-care-says-global-study | 2022-08-20T06:04:46Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2707034612661/sickle-cell-disease-nearly-50-of-patients-receive-poor-care-says-global-study | false | 2 |

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Family, friends and the law enforcement community gathered on Friday to remember and honor the life of slain Wake County deputy, Ned Byrd. Outside Providence Baptist Church in Raleigh, hundreds of those in law enforcement agencies lined up in the parking lot to pay their respects.
“He went out of his way to help others and put someone else—often strangers—above himself. You could reach out to Ned any time of day, for any reason he’d be there for you,” said Ryan Schmidt, a friend of Byrd’s.
Byrd served at the Wake County Sheriff’s Office for 13 years, first as a detention officer and most recently as a K9 officer, until his death.
He was shot and killed in the line of duty last week near Battle Bridge and Auburn Knightdale roads.
Friends say he was avid in jiu-jitsu and loved his K9, Sasha.
“He loved Sasha. She was his child and he loved her and was proud of her,” said Jason Culbreth, Byrd’s Jiu-Jitsu coach.
North Carolina Governor, Roy Cooper, and Wake County Sheriff, Gerald Baker, were also in attendance. Baker told the crowd his office and other law enforcement officers are working hard to bring justice to the family.
“We pray today never comes again. God bless you, Ned. We love you,” said Baker.
As the Wake County Sheriff’s Office continues their investigation, Baker announced the reward for any information that leads to additional arrests has been increased from $100,000 to $125,000.
Wake County offered the extra $25,000 for the reward, officials said Friday.
In a powerful moment at the funeral, a cousin of Byrd’s, Elina Pereira shared a clear message for those involved in his death.
“When Ned was taken in this violent and barbaric way, if it was meant to frighten and undermine the very fabric and stability of this community you failed, because we have a message for you. We will rise together, stronger and united. We will carry his spirit because what Ned left in each of us cannot be taken,” Pereira said.
Byrd is survived by his sister, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. | https://www.wnct.com/news/north-carolina/family-gives-strong-message-to-killers-of-wake-county-deputy-ned-byrd-after-funeral/ | 2022-08-20T06:10:56Z | https://www.wnct.com/news/north-carolina/family-gives-strong-message-to-killers-of-wake-county-deputy-ned-byrd-after-funeral/ | true | 3 |

At such a time, researchers have claimed that they have discovered a vulnerability, a ‘weak spot’, across all variants that could help in developing a more targeted anti-body treatment. They found an antibody fragment VH Ab6. This fragment is known to be effective against the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Kappa, Epsilon, and Omicron variants.

The talks, which should have begun in February, have been marred by delays as Chad's myriad rebel groups, meeting in Qatar, squabbled over whether to attend.
Crucial national talks on the future of Chad that the ruling junta says will pave the way for elections are set to begin on Saturday but the forum has been overshadowed by delays and boycotts.
More than 1,400 delegates from the military government, civil society, opposition parties, trade unions and rebel groups will gather in capital N'Djamena for the "national dialogue" that is scheduled to last three weeks.
The talks are the brainchild of junta chief General Mahamat Idriss Deby who took power in April 2021 at the age of just 37 after his father, who ruled for 30 years, was killed during a military operation against rebels.
He has said the forum should open the way to "free and democratic" elections after an 18-month rule by the junta – a deadline that France, the African Union (AU) and others have urged him to uphold.
'Historic opportunity'
The UN chief said on Friday that Chad's upcoming landmark talks offer a "historic opportunity" for the African nation to return to stability and set a course towards democracy.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres offered congratulations to Chad's transitional authorities and the country's people and acknowledged "the efforts made by all other stakeholders to reach this historic moment."
The UN chief also encouraged the participation of "all segments" of Chadian society, including women and young people, in the dialogue, and urged the political and military groups that have not yet signed the Doha peace agreement to join the peace process.
Challenges to the process
The "dialogue", which should have begun in February, has been marred by delays as Chad's myriad rebel groups, meeting in Qatar, squabbled over whether to attend. In the end, around 40 groups on August 8 signed up to a deal entailing a ceasefire and guarantee of safe passage.
On the agenda is lasting peace, reforming state institutions and a new constitution that will be put to a referendum.
Junta chief Deby signed a decree on Wednesday saying the decisions taken at the forum will be "legally binding".
Deby will speak at around 10:00 am (0900 GMT), said Saleh Kebzabo, a vice president of the forum's organising committee and one-time opponent of the elder Deby. The dialogue would then begin on Sunday or Monday, Kebzabo said.
The talks face major challenges according to observers: time pressure and the fact that two of the biggest rebel groups are not taking part.
They include the Front for Change and Concord in Chad (FACT), which triggered the offensive in the northeast last year that ended in the elder Deby's death.
Chad, one of the world's poorest countries, has endured repeated uprisings and unrest since its independence in 1960.

Victoria’s department of health on Saturday issued a health alert over an emerging monkeypox outbreak in Melbourne and increase in cases of local transmission. As of August 18, Victoria reported around 40 monkeypox cases, with many due to local transmission.
Though monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted disease, the current outbreak has been predominantly among gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men. Health authorities now want to urgently reach out to those at risk to make them aware of the outbreak so that they can take preventive measures, while the state waits for more vaccine supplies.
“Transmission is skin-to-skin but we owe it to gay and bisexual men to inform them where the risk is now and to support reducing risk. Vaccines are currently in short supply but many more doses on the way,” Victorian Chief Health Officer, Prof Brett Sutton posted on Twitter.
Local Transmission In Victoria
As of August 18, Australia recorded 89 cases of monkeypox, including 40 in Victoria, 39 in New South Wales, 3 in Queensland, 3 in Western Australia, 2 in the Australian Capital Territory, and 2 in South Australia.
According to Victoria’s Department of Health, while a majority of cases were among returned travellers who have acquired the infection overseas, a growing number of cases in Victoria have been traced to local transmission.
“The number of people diagnosed with monkeypox in Victoria is increasing due to local transmission,” said Associate Professor Deborah Friedman, Deputy Chief Health Officer Communicable Disease in an health alert issued on Saturday morning. “Preventive measures including limiting sexual partners are very important for people who are not vaccinated.”
Monkeypox Vaccines
Earlier this month, Australia announced that it was rolling out third generation monkeypox vaccines JYNNEOS for those at risk. Vaccinations have been prioritised for gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men who are at high risk of exposure.
However, the department of health admitted that there were limited supplies of the vaccine in August and September, with more vaccine doses expected to arrive later this year and next year.
“More clinics and access points will be able to provide the vaccine as additional stock becomes available,” said the DoH.
ADAM Pauses Monday Events
Gay Pornstar Silver Steele Opens Up About Battle With Monkeypox Infection
The community is, meanwhile, not waiting for the health authorities to get its act together and taking steps to prevent transmission.
ADAM, which describes itself as ” Melbourne’s world famous nudist pub for guys” announced last month that they were temporarily pausing their weekly Monday night events at Sircuit bar.
“ADAM and Sircuit have made the joint decision to immediately put the regular Monday ADAM event at Sircuit on hiatus due the the emerging and changing health risks of monkeypox (MPX) within our community,” ADAM announced on its Facebook page.
Health Officials Want Community To Pay Attention
There are somethings that health officials say the community can do to limit the spread and stop the monkeypox outbreak from getting out of hand.
-
People with monkeypox should isolate from others and abstain from sex while symptomatic, from the onset of symptoms and until their lesions have healed and the scabs have dried and fallen off.
-
As a precaution, people should use condoms with all sexual partners for eight weeks after infection.
-
If you are returning from outbreak hotspots such as Europe and North America and have attended sex on premises venues, dance venues, sex parties or saunas, monitor for signs or symptoms of monkeypox.
-
Limit your sexual partners, particularly if you are not vaccinated.
-
Exchange contact information with your sexual partners to assist with contact tracing if needed.
-
Before you head to an event or venue, check yourself for symptoms. If you feel unwell, particularly if you have any rashes or sores, do not attend.
What Is Monkeypox?
The current multi-country outbreak of monkeypox was first reported in May 2022.
“Symptoms of monkeypox can include a rash, fever, chills, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, and exhaustion. In the current outbreak, lesions frequently begin and affect the genital or anal areas, and may or may not be associated with swollen lymph nodes or fever,” according to the Department of Health.
“Some cases developed proctitis (presenting with rectal pain, bloody stools, diarrhea) or urethritis. The rash may involve vesicles, pustules, pimples, or ulcers, and can also involve the face, body, palms of hands and soles of the feet or inside the mouth.”
“While the current outbreak has disproportionately impacted men who have sex with men, anyone who has been in close and usually prolonged intimate contact with someone with monkeypox is at risk,” the health department added.

The Justice Department under Attorney General William Barr improperly withheld portions of an internal memo Barr cited in announcing that then-President Donald Trump had not obstructed justice in the Russia investigation, a federal appeals panel said Friday.
The department had argued that the 2019 memo represented private deliberations of its lawyers before any decision was formalized, and was thus exempt from disclosure. A federal judge previously disagreed, ordering the Justice Department to provide it to a government transparency group that had sued for it.
At issue in the case is a March 24, 2019, memorandum from the head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel and another senior department official that was prepared for Barr to evaluate whether evidence in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation could support prosecution of the president for obstruction of justice.
Barr has said he looked to that opinion in concluding that Trump did not illegally obstruct the Russia probe, which was an investigation of whether his campaign had colluded with Russia to tip the 2016 election.
A year later, a federal judge sharply rebuked Barr’s handling of Mueller’s report, saying Barr had made “misleading public statements” to spin the investigation’s findings in favor of Trump and had shown a “lack of candor.”
Friday’s appeals court decision said the internal Justice Department memo noted that “Mueller had declined to accuse President Trump of obstructing justice but also had declined to exonerate him.” The internal memo said “the Report’s failure to take a definitive position could be read to imply an accusation against President Trump” if released to the public, the court wrote.
The Justice Department turned over other documents to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington as part of the group’s lawsuit, but declined to give it the memo. Government lawyers said they were entitled under public records law to withhold the memo because it reflected internal deliberations before any formal decision had been reached on what Mueller’s evidence showed.
Sitting presidents are generally protected from criminal charges on grounds it would undermine their ability to perform the office’s constitutional duties. The Justice Department, like Mueller, “took as a given that the Constitution would bar the prosecution of a sitting President,” the appeals court wrote, which meant the decision that Trump wouldn’t be charged had already been made and couldn’t be shielded from public release.
Had Justice Department officials made clear to the court that the memo related to Barr’s decision on making a public statement about the report, the appellate panel wrote, rulings in the case might have been different.
“Because the Department did not tie the memorandum to deliberations about the relevant decision, the Department failed to justify its reliance on the deliberative-process privilege,” wrote the panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Appellate judges also noted that their ruling was “narrow,” saying that it should not be interpreted to “call into question any of our precedents permitting agencies to withhold draft documents related to public messaging.”
Attorneys for the Justice Department didn’t immediately respond to an email message seeking comment. The department can appeal the ruling to the full appeals court.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The International Monetary Fund is facing pressure to reevaluate how it imposes fees on loans it disperses to needy countries like war-torn Ukraine — which is one of the fund’s biggest borrowers.
The move comes as more countries will need to turn to the IMF, as food prices and inflation internationally continues to rise.
Surcharges are added fees on loans imposed on countries that are heavily indebted to the IMF.
Treasury Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo said in Aspen last month that finance ministers of several countries realize they have to pay a price for Russia’s war in Ukraine, especially with food prices going up.
“They’re going to have to go to the IMF, they’re going to need to find assistance,” Adeyemo said.
However, the IMF fee system could change through U.S legislation. An amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, otherwise known as the defense spending bill, would suspend IMF surcharges while their effectiveness and burden on indebted countries is studied.
That was passed by the U.S. House in July. The Senate is expected to vote on its defense bill in September. A representative of the Senate Armed Services Committee said an amendment may be offered in the next few weeks or even on the Senate floor.
As the largest IMF shareholder and member of the Fund’s executive board, the U.S. can push for policy decisions and unilaterally veto some board decisions.
Citing worsening financial crises in Sri Lanka and Pakistan as examples, some accuse China of engaging in debt trap diplomacy — or having countries falls so deeply in debt to that they are beholden to it on international issues.
Advocates and civil rights organizations lodge the same complaint against the Fund, who claim the organization undercuts its core lender-of-last-resort role with countries in vulnerable positions to pay back debt.
With an ever-worsening risk of a global debt crisis and rising interest rates, the issue has become more pressing for countries looking to reduce their deficits.
However, some economists and representatives of the fund say the surcharges amount to responsible lending behavior, as they provide an incentive for members with large outstanding balances to repay their loans promptly. This applies especially for countries that may otherwise may not be able to obtain financing from private lenders.
Maurice Obstfeld, a Berkeley economics professor and former IMF research department director said as a lender of last resort, the Fund’s ability to lend is important as low and middle income countries face rising interest rates.
“The Fund’s staff is small and in a crisis, its efforts are better deployed serving member countries’ needs,” he said in an email to The Associated Press. “Surcharges could be relaxed temporarily in the face of intense pressures on borrowing countries, but at the expense of the Fund’s ability to serve its membership in the longer term.”
Illinois Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García, who offered the defense spending amendment, told The Associated Press “it is unfair for the IMF to require countries like Ukraine that are already deep in debt to pay surcharge fees. These surcharges increase poverty and hold back our global economic recovery.”
Ukraine’s projected real GDP is expected to decline by 35 percent, due in large part to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to IMF data.
The country, engaged in a war with no projected end, has an outstanding balance of 7.5 billion SDRs — an IMF accounting unit valued at around $9.8 billion according to Ukrainian central bankers. The latest figures estimate that Ukraine will owe the IMF $360 million in surcharges between 2021 and 2023.
Economists Joseph Stiglitz at Columbia University and Kevin P. Gallagher at Boston University wrote earlier this year that “forcing excessive repayments lowers the productive potential of the borrowing country, but also harms creditors” and requires borrowers “to pay more at exactly the moment when they are most squeezed from market access in any other form.”
Serhiy Nikolaychuk, Deputy Chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine, said Ukraine is continuing to pay its debts “despite Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.”
“Our country will pay its debt and surcharges under previous programs and fulfill its obligations to the IMF,” Nikolaychuk said. “It will be difficult, but we will pay.”
For years, lawmakers, economists and civil rights organizations have called on the IMF, which has for decades loaned billions to low-income countries, to end its surcharge policy.
In January, 18 left-leaning lawmakers wrote to Treasury calling for the surcharge policy to be eliminated. And in April, a group of 150 civil society groups and individuals signed an open letter to the IMF, asking for the same, calling surcharges “regressive.”
A spokesperson for the fund says the surcharges are designed to discourage large and prolonged use of IMF resources.
“They only apply to countries with particularly large outstanding loans,” Mayada Ghazala said in an emailed statement, adding that poorest countries are exempt from the surcharges.
The fund’s executive board met in December 2021 and discussed the role of surcharges —it ultimately decided not to make a change to the fees, but said they would review them again in the future.
The IMF was created in 1944 at the United Nations Bretton Woods Conference — one of its missions is lending to maintain the financial stability of countries. Among its 190 countries, it lends around $1 trillion, according to the organization’s website.
An April review of the fund’s financial health for fiscal year 2022 and 2023 states that lending income excluding surcharges “remain strong and are expected to exceed expenses in FY 2023–2024.”
Andrés Arauz, a senior research fellow at the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research says the IMF’s financial position shows “the surcharges are not necessary for sound finances.”
“There is no excuse for the IMF to be punishing countries under debt stress with surcharges,” he said. “There is also no logic to it, the amount of money that the IMF raises from surcharges is trivial relative to its income and capacity.”
Garcia said “I’m proud the House passed my amendment to support a pause and review of surcharges at the IMF, and I will keep up the fight until the President signs it into law.”
Separately, the U.S. has sent roughly $7.3 billion in aid to Ukraine since the war began in late February, including a new $775 million defense aid package announced Friday. | https://whnt.com/news/ap-top-headlines/imf-fees-on-war-torn-countries-closer-to-elimination/ | 2022-08-20T06:47:46Z | https://whnt.com/news/ap-top-headlines/imf-fees-on-war-torn-countries-closer-to-elimination/ | false | 34 |
Oncopeptides has received marketing authorisation from the European Commission (EC) for Pepaxti (melphalan flufenamide, also called melflufen) to treat relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients.
Subscribe to our email newsletter
The regulator has approved Pepaxti in combination with dexamethasone to treat adult multiple myeloma patients who have received at least three lines of therapies previously, whose disease is refractory to at least one immunomodulatory agent, one proteasome inhibitor, and one anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
The drug is also approved to treat adult patients who have showed disease progression on or after the last therapy.
A lipophilic peptide conjugated alkylating drug, pepaxti quickly and selectively delivers cytotoxic agents into tumour cells.
It is composed of a di-peptide and an alkylating moiety and inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of hematopoietic and solid tumour cells.
Oncopeptides CEO Jakob Lindberg said: “The approval of Pepaxti in Europe is foundational for Oncopeptides, and brings excellent news for patients and shareholders.
“Despite the introduction of novel therapies, patients with triple class refractory disease have a high unmet medical need, since their treatment options ultimately become exhausted.”
The regulatory approval is based on findings obtained from the Phase II HORIZON study, and the randomised controlled Phase III OCEAN study as confirmatory study.
The HORIZON study was conducted in 157 relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients.
It has assessed melflufen and dexamethasone combination in heavily pre-treated patients with poor prognosis.
The EC marketing approval enables the sale of Pepaxti in all EU member states, along with the European Economic Area (EEA) countries Norway, Iceland, and Lichtenstein.
Furthermore, the company plans to submit a type II variation of the drug in the fourth quarter of this year to provide access to earlier lines of treatment for RRMM patients. | https://www.pharmaceutical-business-review.com/news/oncopeptides-eu-marketing-rrmm-therapy/ | 2022-08-20T06:49:48Z | https://www.pharmaceutical-business-review.com/news/oncopeptides-eu-marketing-rrmm-therapy/ | false | 1 |

China's July marine fuel exports up 13.22% from June
China's exports of very-low-sulphur marine fuel rebounded 13.22 per cent in July versus June as the country's merchandise exports recovered, but still stood nearly 9.69 per cent below the year-ago level, customs data showed on Saturday.
Exports of very-low-sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO), measured mostly by sales from China's bonded storage for vessels plying international routes, were 1.60 million tonnes, data from the General Administration of Customs showed.
That compared to 1.408 million tonnes in June and 1.766 million tonnes a year before. China's merchandise exports in July grew 18 per cent on the year in the fastest pace this year, an encouraging boost to the economy as its struggles to recover from a COVID-induced slump, but weakening global demand could start to drag on shipments in coming months.
Foreign trade container throughput at eight major Chinese ports rose 14.5 per cent in July, speeding up from the 8.4 per cent growth in June, according to data from China's port association. But strict COVID measures and rare heatwaves in eastern and southern provinces, where the country's main export hubs are located, crimped factory output, thus constraining shipments. Weaker-than-expected growth in merchandise imports, up only 2.3 per cent on the year, also capped further growth for the marine fuel. VLSFO exports for the January-July period reached 10.69 million tonnes, down from 11.52 million tonnes in the same period of last year.
Fuel oil imports into bonded storage, including both high-sulphur and low-sulphur products, fell nearly 57.96 per cent on the year to 0.31 million tonnes.
The table below shows China's fuel oil imports and exports, all in metric tonnes.
The column of exports under bonded storage trade largely captures China's low-sulphur oil bunkering sales along its coast.

HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon will debut on Aug. 21, just 11 days before the release of Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Both shows have massive fanbases, but only one is showing signs of drawing early viewer enthusiasm.
A comparative Google Trends search comparing interest in the two series over the last 30 days shows that House of the Dragon has garnered far more interest from potential viewers than the tale based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s sword and sorcery source material. Searches for the two shows were nearly identical until July, when the first trailers for both shows were released.
Since then, House of the Dragon has far outpaced The Rings of Power, with the former scoring 100 out of a possible 100 in terms of interest this week. Despite the fact that the LoTR film franchise had a decade head start on Game of Thrones, which first aired in 2011, the Tolkien property isn’t as highly anticipated.
HBO Max isn’t relying solely on the whims of fans for its success
It appears that Amazon, which is still finding its original content studio legs, is just now learning some of the lessons HBO has honed over the course of its 50-year lifespan. In addition to a more fiscally efficient production, HBO and its HBO Max streaming arm have been aggressively innovative in how Dragons is promoted.
HBO teamed up with Duolingo to promote a course in the show’s High Valyrian language, and partnered with Snapchat to offer a new dragon selfie augmented reality Lens and a location-based immersive feature that lets users interact with virtual dragons. HBO Max also paired with Roku to offer a unique House of the Dragon fan experience that includes a new menu option, giveaways, screensavers, and a Roku Rundown show that will cover the new series.
Amazon may be about to get a harsh lesson in how to win the prestige TV wars
The disparity in interest between the two shows is even more stark when considering the budgets for the competing fantasy franchises. Rings had a season one budget of $465 million compared to Dragons’ estimated budget of roughly $150 to $200 million for season one.
While Amazon has its vast trove of e-commerce and cloud revenue to buttress its original content bets, Rings will still need to make up a lot of ground to be competitive with Dragons and make its investment pay off. House of the Dragon airs on HBO and HBO Max on Aug. 21, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power airs on Amazon Prime Video on Sept. 1. | https://qz.com/hbo-max-s-house-of-the-dragon-is-already-besting-amaz-1849435052 | 2022-08-20T06:58:55Z | https://qz.com/hbo-max-s-house-of-the-dragon-is-already-besting-amaz-1849435052 | true | 1 |

2021 report showcases holistic approach to sustainability including people, planet, responsibility, and impact
LISLE, Ill., July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than 20 years, Navistar has released an annual sustainability report providing an overview of the company's environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities. Now, Navistar's sustainability strategy is going beyond risk mitigation into value creation to address the impact a more sustainable future would have on customers and society at large.
The 2021 sustainability report takes a holistic look into sustainability at Navistar including people, planet, responsibility, and impact. The report also introduces the company's new vision – to accelerate the impact of sustainable mobility – and strategy which prioritizes sustainability as a strategic focus area.
"2021 has been a year of significant change that will set the stage for the future; not only for us at Navistar, but also industry-wide as megatrends like electric and autonomous vehicles emerge," said CEO Mathias Carlbaum. "Navistar is committed to creating a better, healthier world for future generations to thrive in, and we absolutely will accomplish that with a strategic roadmap."
Sustainability at Navistar is defined as the confluence of people, planet, and prosperity. It is a strategic imperative to manage the company's total social impact by improving impacts of business on the environment and society and dedicating resources to increasing positive impacts.
Highlights from the 2021 sustainability report include:
- Launched two zero-emissions products, a medium duty vehicle and a school bus. These fully electric zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs) can, depending on the emissions profile of the electricity used to charge them, enable a fully zero-emissions footprint.
- Recognizing a critical need for education around the ZEVs ecosystem, Navistar's NEXT Solutions team designed an all-inclusive, mobile educational experience tailored to ZEV sales or service training, to tour North America.
- Committed to a 20% improvement in energy intensity with the U.S. Department of Energy Better Plants program. Navistar also began work on what will be a foundational effort, setting science-based targets that will be submitted to the Science-based Targets Initiative.
- Identified education, equity, and the environment as primary impact areas and began developing a focused giving strategy to support meaningful change in the communities where we live and work.
- Created a diversity demographics dashboard to help drive changes in diversity representation across the company. Accessible by all people managers, this tool indicates real-time demographics including gender, race, and age, among other details.
- Partnered with the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), and SkillsUSA, Navistar built the TECH EmPOWERment platform to support our dealer network in their efforts to recruit, train, and retain qualified personnel. TECH EmPOWERment helps facilitate donations of heavy equipment, training aids, and supplies to technical programs for the purpose of training students to service International® trucks and IC Bus® vehicles upon graduation. In total, 36 equipment donations were made in 2021 to 32 schools across the U.S. and Canada.

The strong message Sunderland boss Alex Neil has for 'top player' Patrick Roberts
Alex Neil has assured Patrick Roberts that he remains a 'huge' player in his plans for this season.
The former Manchester City winger had an outstanding finish to the last campaign after building up to full match fitness, scoring the vital goal in the play-off semi final against Sheffield Wednesday and impressing in the Wembley win over Wycombe Wanderers
After signing a new contract in the summer he looked set to be an integral player in the starting XI, but a shift to a 3-5-2 shape has so far meant he is without a Championship start.
Neil has been reluctant to play with out-and-out wingers as the strike partnership of Ross Stewart and Ellis Simms has so far been mightily effective.

Who is Moussa Sissako? The defensive prospect reportedly 'in talks' with Sunderland and on Burnley's radar
Ahead of the trip to Stoke City that seems unlikely to change imminently, with Neil admitting that Roberts has perhaps been the player most impacted by the switch.
"I think he's arguably the most affected at the moment, which has been difficult and frustrating for him," Neil said.
"But Patrick has shown us before that he's a top player, and has great quality. He was a massive factor in our success last year and he's got a huge part to play this season as well.
"At the moment, he's having to keep his head down and work hard, and bide his time.
"But his time will come. I understand where he's at and I spent a lot of time speaking to him, because those types of creative players, they want to be on the pitch and showing what they can do. It's difficult for me to fit him in the team just now but there will be a point where he becomes vitally important for us.
"It might be the next game, it might be next week, it might be a little longer, I'm not quite sure, but it will come."
Roberts was an unused substitute on Wednesday night as Sunderland fell to a 2-1 defeat at Sheffield United, with Jack Diamond's ability to carry the ball from deep areas deemed crucial as the Black Cats dealt with the early loss of Dan Neil to a red card late on.
Neil says the speed with which he turned to Roberts against QPR a week previous was an indicator of how highly he rates the 25-year-old.
"This isn't just Patrick, this is every player who potentially isn't quite starting just now," Neil said.
"They've got to keep their motivation high. What I always say to them is if you train really well and your attitude is tops, all you'll ever do is get closer and closer to the team.
"In some respects, and going back to Patrick, he's really unfortunate and it's more down to shape than it is his performance and how he's going about his work.
"That can sometimes be even more difficult for a player, so I spend a lot of time with him to make sure he knows that I understand how difficult it is for him just now.
"He's got to keep going, if you look at the last home game where we switched to a 4-3-3, he was the first substitute I brought on because he's got so much to offer." | https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/the-strong-message-sunderland-boss-alex-neil-has-for-top-player-patrick-roberts-3812500 | 2022-08-20T07:25:32Z | https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/the-strong-message-sunderland-boss-alex-neil-has-for-top-player-patrick-roberts-3812500 | true | 1 |

Grease returning to AMC Theatres as special tribute engagement for late leading lady Olivia Newton-John
The iconic film Grease is making a return to the big screen in the wake of Olivia-Newton John's recent passing.
Earlier this week, AMC Theatres announced its going to show the classic 1978 movie that starred Newton-John as Sandy and John Travolta as Danny at 135 of its locations around the country this weekend to raise money in the fight against breast cancer.
'To honor the late Olivia Newton-John: many of our U.S. theatres this weekend will show her classic 1978 hit movie Grease, again on the big screen,' AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron tweeted out, adding, 'An inexpensive $5 admission price, and through our charity AMC Cares we will donate $1 per sold ticket to breast cancer research.'
Special tribute engagement: AMC Theatres announced it is showing the original Grease film, starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, in tribute to the film's leading lady
Grease was once the highest-grossing musical film of all-time, eclipsing a record held by The Sound of Music by grossing more than $366 million on just a $6 million budget.
The movie's record was trumped after the release of Les Misérables in 2012, which went on to rake-in $441.8 million at the box office on a $61 million budget.
The musical romantic-comedy received mostly positive reviews from film critics and is considered by many as one of the best films of 1978.
The legacy of the film was solidified even further when the Library Of Congress announced it would be added to the National Film Registry in 2020.
Tribute showings: AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron announced the return of the original Grease film to 135 of its locations around the country this week, in honor of Olivia Newton-John; portions of the showings will be donated to breast cancer research
The success of Grease, which was based on the 1971 musical of the same name by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, and written by Bronte Woodard with an adaption by Ala Carr, led to its sequel, Grease 2, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Maxwell Caulfield in the lead roles.
A series based on the movie titled, Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies, and a prequel called Summer Lovin are reportedly in the works for the Paramount+ streaming service.
Newton-John was 73-years-old when she passed away on August 8 at her beloved ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley of California.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer three times during her lifetime, beginning in 1992.

RIP: The singer and actress passed away at her beloved ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley of California on August 8; she is seen in a more recent Instagram photo
In the wake of her first recovery, the actress and singer became an advocate for breast cancer research and other health issues.
More than 25 years had gone by when she made the shocking announcement that she had again been diagnosed with breast cancer. It was during this time that she revealed she had a previous recurrence of the disease in 2013, but had decided to keep the news private.
The If You Love Me, Let Me Know star revealed that her third diagnosis in 2017 had metastasized, spread to her bones, and progressed to Stage IV.
Newton-John, who also had a chart-topping career as a singer, leaves behind her husband, John Easterling, whom she married in 2008, and her daughter Chloe, 36, whom she shared with her first husband Matt Lattanzi.

Chemical tanker, cargo ship crash near southwestern Japan
TOKYO (AP) — A Japanese chemical tanker ship crashed into a cargo ship off the coast of southwestern Japan, the coast guard said Saturday.
No one was injured among the six Japanese crew aboard Ryoshinmaru, the tanker, and 14 Chinese crew aboard the Belize-registered cargo ship, Xin Hai 99.
The crash early Saturday was under investigation and both ships were anchored in the area, about 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles) off the coast of Wakayama Prefecture, according to a Kushimoto Coast Guard official.
Some oil leaked from the engine area of the cargo ship, which initially started to sink, but it was brought under control, the official said.
The tanker had left Kobe port to pick up chemicals from another Japanese port and did not have any chemicals on board at the time of the accident.
Divers were being sent to the scene and GPS records were being pursued to determine the cause of the accident. The Chinese crew told the coast guard the tanker had suddenly veered toward them, the official said.

On 9 September 1999, the Heads of State and Government of the Organisation of African Unity issued the Sirte declaration calling for the establishment of an African Union (AU).
Their mission was to accelerate the process of integration on the continent while addressing multifaceted social, economic and political problems. The AU was founded in May 2001 and officially launched on 9 July 2002 in Durban, South Africa.
Its 20th anniversary is a useful moment to examine how far the AU has progressed towards meeting its core objectives. There is no dearth of criticism of the union from scholars, analysts and journalists.
Some of the criticism is about poor governance, implementation problems and rising security issues. It seems, too, that citizens of member states lack trust in the AU.
Most of these criticisms are fair, given that the AU was expected to carry Africa in to the future through the ideals of African renaissance and Pan Africanism. The mission statement spoke of "an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena".
Based on my previously published research, the commitment of African leaders remains the most pressing obstacle to African renaissance and development.
Governance of the AU is as good as its leadership. Therefore, the type of governance within member countries, especially among the regional leaders, affects the governance of the union.
The differences between the hope inspired by the union at inception and the reality of dashed hopes 20 years later can be partly linked to the quality of leadership in countries that championed the current AU.
Progress
Despite the governance problem, the AU has made some progress in peacekeeping across the continent by establishing the African Standby Force in December 2003.
To ensure effective operation, the force is decentralised and coordinated at a regional level. It is expected to manage insurgency-related conflicts in various countries. The Standby Force is yet to start full operation, however.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the AU has elevated the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention from a specialised technical institution to a public health agency with regional collaboration centres. This action is an improvement. It will help in tackling future epidemics and will support member states' public health in general.
In 2015, the Heads of State and Government created Agenda 2063 with 20 priority goals. The initiative is supposed to be based on lessons of past experiences and the understanding that globalisation can provide new development opportunities for the continent.
The Agenda has highlighted important areas that would accelerate the development of member states. For example, it led to the launch of the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa in 2020. The goal of the programme is to intensify regional economic integration, which has been held back by a poor transport network.
Disappointments
The regional peacekeeping process has not translated into regional economic integration and a socio-economic framework for development.
Economic development remains the AU's weakest area. The New Partnership for Africa's Development was supposed to develop a homegrown policy framework for sustainable economic development. Its goals include eradicating poverty, promoting growth and integrating Africa into the world economy.
The AU has also been criticised for its lack of consultation with member states' civil society stakeholders. Consultation of civil society would contribute to accountability and provide a sense of ownership for the citizens of member states.
The AU's inability to implement its economic development framework remains an obstacle to achieving its goals. The importance of regional integration cannot be exaggerated given the low proportion of inter-African trade when compared with other regions. The volume of trade among countries of the continent is around 15% of total trade, while in Europe, North America, and Latin America, rates are 68%, 37% and 20% respectively.
More trade among African countries would improve manufacturing, reduce dependency on natural resources and expand the African market.
Way forward
The introduction of Agenda 2063 as a development framework is the first step forward. To avoid a repeat of the discarded Lagos Plan of Action it is important that the AU aligns the agenda with its values of self-reliance and inclusiveness.
To achieve this, the Agenda 2063 agency needs to expand its consultation with civil society and stakeholders of member states. This would increase participation by member state citizens, improve the sharing of information and tighten up accountability.
Funding for projects is one of the biggest challenges facing the AU. It still depends on external funding for its own operations. A solution would be a binding institutional arrangement where members have to contribute funds and there are penalties for not doing so.
The AU has had a shaky two decades burdened with intertwined problems of governance, external dependence and poor capacity. But these problems are not insurmountable. A prosperous and united Africa is within reach if the AU addresses its core problems and fosters more participation of member state citizens.

Dan Price, who rose to fame as the CEO who set a $70,000 minimum wage for all of his employees, has resigned from Gravity Payments, the Seattle-based payment-processing company he founded a decade and a half ago. The resignation came before the New York Times published a story raising allegations about his behavior, particularly toward women.
Price’s resignation came Wednesday, which the Times
NYT,
See: Seattle CEO who cut his pay so workers could earn $70,000 minimum resigns
Price’s move to slash his salary and raise the minimum pay of his employees was lauded when it was announced in 2015. As the New York Times noted, the move garnered him coverage throughout the media world, from Esquire magazine to “The Daily Show,” plus in the Times itself, where columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote in an opinion piece: “A small Seattle company shows that capitalism can have a heart.”
But the Times investigation pointed to various incidents in Price’s past that undercut his CEO-who-cares image. Most significantly, it detailed the story of a woman who has accused him of rape. The Times also noted that prosecutors in Seattle “earlier this year charged Mr. Price with assault in another incident.”
Overall, the Times said that Price’s fame “has enabled a pattern of abuse in his personal life and hostile behavior at his company, interviews with more than 50 people, documents and police reports show.”
In the Times story, Price was quoted as saying he “never physically or sexually abused anyone” and that “the other accusations of inappropriate behavior towards women in this story are simply false.”

I-T dept allows taxpayers more time to claim credit for taxes paid outside India
So far, Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) could have been claimed only if Form- 67 along with necessary documents were filed within the due date for filing the original return, thereby restricting the ability to claim credit for taxes paid outside India.
The income tax department on Friday said taxpayers can claim credit for taxes paid outside India before the end of the assessment year if the I-T return is filed within the stipulated deadline.
So far, Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) could have been claimed only if Form- 67 along with necessary documents were filed within the due date for filing the original return, thereby restricting the ability to claim credit for taxes paid outside India.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has amended tax Rules providing relief to taxpayers in claiming Foreign Tax Credit (FTC).
In a tweet, the income tax department said "the Statement in Form No. 67 can now be furnished on or before the end of the relevant Assessment Year".
The amendment operates retrospectively, so this benefit is available to all FTC claims filed during the current financial year, it added.
Nangia Andersen LLP Partner- Direct Taxation, Sachin Garg said the amendment has provided much-needed relief to taxpayers who can now claim FTC by furnishing Form- 67 along with necessary documents before the end of the assessment year if the return is filed within the original due date or date of filing belated tax return.
"The FTC can now be claimed even when filing an updated return of income, provided Form 67 is furnished before filing such return. This will certainly augment ease of doing business in India and prevent taxpayers from losing FTC permanently if Form 67 is not filed within the due date of filing return of income," Garg said.
AKM Global Head of Tax Markets Yeeshu Sehgal said this relaxation in filing Form-67 till the end of the assessment year instead of before the due date of filing the return is a relief to the taxpayers as they can claim FTC after filing the return as well.
"This will also lead to reduction in tax disputes pertaining to FTCs since there have been divergent interpretations on the allowability of FTC in case of belated and non-filing of Form 67 at present as tax rules do not mention any consequences for non-filing of such form," Sehgal added. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/business/income-tax-department-allows-taxpayers-more-time-to-claim-credit-for-taxes-paid-outside-india-101660977711149-amp.html | 2022-08-20T07:55:27Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/business/income-tax-department-allows-taxpayers-more-time-to-claim-credit-for-taxes-paid-outside-india-101660977711149-amp.html | false | 7 |
Mizoram has for the first time exported pineapples grown in the state to Dubai, an official said.
Deputy Chief Minister Tawnluia on Friday flagged off the consignment of 230 kg of pineapples grown by farmers at Sialhawk village in Khawzawl district to Dubai.
Speaking on the occasion, Tawnluia, who is also the local MLA, said that preparation is going on to export Sialhawk pineapples to Qatar's capital Doha and Bahrain, PTI reported.
He said that the state government would take steps to construct link roads to all pineapple farms within his constituency and also efforts would be made to find market for the farmers if they harvest more.
State Horticulture development board vice chairman and ruling Mizo National Front legislator F Lalnunmawia hailed the development as a milestone in the history of Mizoram.
According to Horticulture department secretary K Lalthawmmawia, the pineapples were bought by Fair Exports (I) Private Limited, a division of Lulu Group International, in Mumbai and they will be shipped to Dubai, he said.
He said that another 900 kg of pineapples from Sialhawk would also be shipped to Dubai, and 740 kg each to Qatar and Bahrain within a short time from now.
He said that the farmers have to make constant efforts and maintain quality and value added pineapples to sustain in the global market.
Villagers of Sialhawk began pineapple cultivation in 2002 and around 320 families have harvested 6,400 quintals of pineapples worth Rs 95 lakh last year. | https://www.pratidintime.com/assambusinessnews/mizoram-exports-state-grown-pineapples-to-dubai | 2022-08-20T08:14:34Z | https://www.pratidintime.com/assambusinessnews/mizoram-exports-state-grown-pineapples-to-dubai | false | 3 |
Friday Night Lights: Week 1
Eight local teams kick off a brand new season on the gridiron
YUMA, Ariz., (KYMA, KECY) - There was no shortage of action in between the lines this week, featuring many teams from the desert southwest in week one of the 2022 season under the lights.
Although there was a shortage of lights in one game.
From Yuma to the Imperial Valley, we got a small dose of what's to come this season - from high scoring to late comeback victories.
BRAWLEY - 27 SCRIPPS RANCH - 20
The Wildcats came into the new year off of another Imperial Valley League title, but it would be a tough task in week one taking on the defending 2A state champions from Scripps Ranch.
After a three-and-out on their opening drive and then allowing a drive and score from the Falcons on a touchdown pass from Jax Leatherwood to Stephen Bosquet, the Wildcats got a spark from special teams.
Ruben Abarca turned on the jets and returned the ensuing kick-off into Falcons territory, setting up their second drive in good field position.
A connection between senior quarterback Ethan Gutierrez to Robert Platt Jr., the Wildcats were set up and that's when they pounded the rock with Tanner Carranza who later scored to tie the game. The extra point gave them a 7-6 lead and carried them to a 27-20 win.
SOUTHWEST - 13 HOLTVILLE - 53
This was a battle of air raid versus ground and pound.
The Southwest Eagles came in looking to rewrite their story after a tough year in 2021, using their junior quarterback Logan Jungers and a platoon of talented receivers.
But that would not matter, struggling in the trenches and stopping the rushing attack from the Holtville Vikings - sticking to the part of the game that got them to the post season last year.
SAN DIEGO - 28 VINCENT MEMORIAL - 29
The first big comeback of the year goes to the Scots of Vincent Memorial.
The Scots spread offense led by their field general, Jacobo Elias, struggled in the first half and into the third quarter - allowing too much pressure on Elias to do what he does best and move around and sling the rock to his talented group of skill players.
Trailing 21-6 halfway through the third, the Scots got a defensive stop and followed that up with a big drive to cut the lead down - eventually scoring twice more and completing the comeback.
CALEXICO - 7 PALO VERDE - 7 (TO BE CONTINUED)
Out went the lights in this one.
Rounding out the Imperial Valley was the season opener in the desert southwest - kicking off on Thursday night from Blythe, California.
A game between the Bulldogs on the road coming off of their most successful season in modern history, taking on the defending CIF Division 5 champions of Palo Verde - but it took a dramatic turn.
Just two minutes into the second half, a storm swept through the area and knocked the power out at the stadium, causing the game to be put on hold as players, coaches and fans made their way home.
But before that, it was a deadlock.
Both sides were solid on the defensive end, forcing one another to punt and come up with big fourth down stops.
Eventually it was Calexico who broke the seal on a screen pass from quarterback, David Esquer, to Andres Ramirez who took it 30 yards to the house to release the scoreless tie in the second quarter.
Palo Verde would answer just after the halftime break before the lights went out.
The game will be continued on Saturday night at 6pm at Imperial High School.
DYSART - 21 YUMA - 18
The Criminals entered the 2022 season looking for its first winning season in a decade.
It got off to a hot start with a touchdown run from Jesus Villapudua and then a pitch and catch from Reggie Antone to Giovanni Robinson, taking a 12-0 lead.
But like last season in most cases, the wheels fell off in the second half.
The Crims would surrender the lead and take the tough 21-18 loss to open at home.
OUT OF TOWN SCORES:
CENTRAL - 48 MOUNT CARMEL - 20
CALIPATRIA at DESERT CHRISTIAN ACADEMY - (Saturday night) | https://kyma.com/sports/2022/08/20/friday-night-lights-week-1-2/ | 2022-08-20T08:17:49Z | https://kyma.com/sports/2022/08/20/friday-night-lights-week-1-2/ | false | 1 |
Jason Varitek reveled in 1984 in all the quaint traditions that make the Little League World Series a throwback to the simple days of playing baseball. He traded pins, met kids from other parts of the United States and around the world.
Varitek and his teammates played in ping-pong tournaments and Wiffle Ball tournaments and, of course, there were the cardboard box sled rides down the hill behind Howard J. Lamade Stadium.
“The whole atmosphere Williamsport brings, it’s just phenomenal,” he said. “The excitement, the buzz, it’s all amazing. And that was back when there was only one game on TV.
“The community, the people that go there to support that series in the final game, and all the games, is what makes it so unique. It’s a high-intensive gathering of baseball fans.”
For most 12-year-olds, reaching the pinnacle of youth baseball is as good as it gets in a playing career.
Varitek is one of the fortunate ones. He led Altamonte Springs out of Florida to the ’84 United States championship, took Georgia Tech to the College World Series and, most notably, helped the Boston Red Sox win the World Series in 2004 and ‘07 as a tough and savvy catcher.
Now Boston’s game-planning coordinator, the 50-year-old Varitek is headed back to where he burst through on the national scene when the Red Sox play the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday night in the fifth MLB Little League Classic.
The game is played at 2,366-seat Historic Bowman Field in Williamsport, just a six-mile trip from the complex where the Little League World Series is underway with kids full of big league dreams, many of whom will attend the game ready to mingle with today’s stars — and maybe talk Xander Bogaerts into a TikTok.
“I heard some of the kids are going to be riding on the bus with us to the field,” Orioles outfielder Austin Hays said. “I’m sure that’ll be a cool experience. We’ll see what kind of questions they have for us, what kind of cool stuff they have for us. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
The game is MLB’s latest experiment to try and attract new fans — and re-ignite the passion of lapsed ones — through offbeat settings. The last one was a hit — Major League Baseball’s second “ Field of Dreams ” game last week came straight out of the cornfields of Dyersville, Iowa. More than 3.1 million viewers watched Fox Sports’ broadcast of the game, the most-watched regular-season baseball game on any network this year.
ESPN is on-deck and promised all the added features that make the game a more appealing watch to kids. Much like other Sunday night telecasts, the telecast is expected to include a mic’d up player to talk to the broadcast booth. There’s also an all-kids broadcast team on ESPN2.
“I’ve never been there. I’ve watched the Little League World Series since I was a kid,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “I remember that Saturday afternoon. I’d watch growing up. To be able to go to see what it’s all about is cool for everybody.”
The Red Sox and Orioles were scheduled to play in the 2020 Little League Classic, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“We always need to reconnect and grow our sport,” Varitek said. “It’s dying in the youth level compared to what it was 20, 30 years ago. We need to do our job in promoting that.”
Little League counts 2 million boys and girls ages 4 to 16 that play in more than 80 countries and in all 50 states. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the first Little League World Series. After no tournament in 2020 and no international clubs in 2021, both due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the youth baseball tournament has expanded to 20 teams from around the world.
Baseball fans are watching.
Long before his 15-year career with the Red Sox, Varitek played shortstop, first base and catcher for Altamonte Springs. Varitek — who noted on the 1984 championship broadcast that his favorite team was the Detroit Tigers — showed why in the series he was, well, more of a natural catcher.
He bobbled a high chopper at short ( “a little too anxious,” said Curt Gowdy ) on a ball that was scored a hit. Varitek — who recalled the thrill of meeting Hall of Famer Willie Stargell in the series — then let a ball slip through his legs for an error.
“Bad time to make my first error,” he said, laughing. “But it was my first error of the summer, so that’s good.”
Varitek was 1 for 7 during the Series and Altamonte Springs lost 6-2 in the championship to a South Korean team.
“We had a great group of young men with great leaders in our coaching staff,” Varitek said. “They spent a lot of time in development and teaching fundamentals. We created a huge camaraderie during that. We were a very talented group.”
Varitek, Ed Vosberg and Michael Conforto are the only three to play in each of the Little League Baseball World Series, College World Series and Major League Baseball World Series.
Varitek’s advice to today’s players is much the same as what he received 38 years ago: Enjoy the moment, the traditions — and yes, even the time away from parents.
“You’ll remember them the rest of your life,” he said. “I do.”

Michael Collins was an inspiration, idealist and a realist – our common cause is Ireland, Leo Varadkar says
MICHAEL Collins is commonly known as the Big Fella — and his legacy continues to loom large.
Monday marks 100 years since the Free State leader was killed in an ambush at Beal na mBlath — with mystery still surrounding who pulled the trigger that day.
At the time, the country was ravaged by civil war, with Collins’ death creating even deeper division between those for and against the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
But 100 years later, the wounds have healed and now Collins is rightly recognised by all for his bravery, pragmatism and diplomacy.
No one has greater admiration for Cork native Collins than Fine Gael leader and Tanaiste, Leo Varadkar.
Tomorrow, alongside Taoiseach and Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin, he will deliver an oration at Beal na mBlath during which he’ll pay tribute to Collins’ legacy.
Here, LEO VARADKAR, explains how Collins was a political trailblazer who didn’t just talk the talk.
AT Béal na mBláth in Cork tomorrow, I will pay tribute to someone who’s always been a personal and political inspiration, and whose example continues to guide me and so many other Irish people 100 years after his untimely death.
The entire life of Michael Collins was a profile in courage. He had the courage to fight the British Empire despite overwhelming odds, and to force it to the negotiating table.
He believed that Ireland could become a free, independent and democratic state when few believed it possible.
Most read in The Irish Sun
He didn’t just talk about it. He fought to achieve it.
He had the courage to risk his reputation and his life by working to secure peace, and then persuade the majority of people in the Dáil and in the country to support it.
As well as being an inspirational leader, Collins was also a practical man and a pragmatist.
A soldier-politician. An army General but also the Minister for Finance and the Chairman of the first Provisional Government of the Irish Free State.
He knew what could be achieved and what could not. An idealist and a realist.
FREEDOM FOR MORE FREEDOM
With Arthur Griffith, he negotiated a Treaty with Britain which brought peace and secured statehood and self-government, but not a republic nor re-unification.
As he predicted, it gave us freedom and the freedom to achieve more freedom in the future.
Others fought on for decades, killing and maiming thousands of people in vain, only to accept Collins’ approach almost a hundred years later.
He had the courage to make peace and accept that in doing so, he could not take everyone with him.
He knew it would cost him his life, and tragically that proved to be the case in West Cork on August 22 of 1922.
POWERFUL STATEMENT
At Béal na mBláth this weekend, we will see something unique.
The leaders of both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, two political parties which in their original forms, split over the Treaty, will come together to pay tribute to him.
It will be a powerful statement about how far our politics has come and the wounds which have been healed.
Too many sacrificed their lives so that we could enjoy the freedom, democracy and independence we do today.
The legacy of Michael Collins, Arthur Griffith and their compatriots is 100 years of independence, unbroken democracy and the rule of law.
Michael Collins had faith in the future, and he trusted what future generations of men and women would be able to achieve.
That is a remarkable legacy and one that continues to motivate and inspire us today.
We can honour him and the State’s founders by living up to their ideals and by remembering that despite our differences, our common cause is Ireland. | https://www.thesun.ie/news/9277810/michael-collins-inspiration-leo-varadkar-death-centenary/ | 2022-08-20T08:19:09Z | https://www.thesun.ie/news/9277810/michael-collins-inspiration-leo-varadkar-death-centenary/ | true | 1 |
TV host Lorraine Kelly has praised NHS staff in Scotland who looked after her mum after she was rushed to hospital.
Lorraine’s mum, Anne, who recently turned 80, was recently rushed to hospital in her hometown of East Kilbride, where the TV favourite grew up.
Following Anne’s hospital dash, daughter Lorraine, 62, who recently spoke out about Deborah James’ funeral, took to Twitter to commend the NHS staff who took care of her mum.
She shared a message to personally thanks the team at University Hospital Monklands and made specific thanks to Dr Jack Fairweather who is a kidney specialist at the Lanarkshire hospital.
She wrote: “Huge thanks to @JAFairweather and all at @UHMonklands who are taking such good care of my wee mum. Can’t thank you all enough.” She ended the tweet with three red heart emojis.
Fans rushed to the post to share their well wishes with the popular Scottish presenter.
One wrote: “Sorry to hear about your Mum Lorraine going into Hospital, ive just read. I hope she gets well soon and a speedy recovery. Love to you and all the family”, followed by a red heart emoji.
A second penned: “Hope you're wee mum gets better soon Lorraine”.
While a third shared: “Wishing yer wee ma a speedy recovery.
Lorraine recently opened about regaining her confidence after dropping two dress sizes and being able to fit back into her wedding dress 30 years on.
Since embarking on a healthy living programme with WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers, in January, she’s not only dropped two dress sizes – a weight loss of a stone-and-a-half – but she also says she’s got her mojo back.
“I was 11 stone 10 when I started and now I’m 10 stone three,” she told OK!
I’ve certainly got my zest for life back, she told us.
“It’s improved my confidence massively. I feel like I can take on anything right now. I just got invited to this wonderful opera with my daughter and I probably wouldn’t have done that before, but now I’m going to everything and it feels fantastic.
"I am relishing these experiences. I went to the Baftas a few weeks ago and it’s the first time in a while I felt I could enjoy the evening and present an award without thinking, “Oh, I don’t feel nice,” or, “I can’t find anything to fit any more.”

Black Family Sued Woke School After Learning Teacher Wanted Daughter to Have a 'Real Life' Slavery Experience
A black woman whose initial attempt to sue the Los Angeles Unified School District over a 2017 school project designed to teach students about slavery firsthand is trying again.
In the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Rashunda Pitts alleged the school district discriminated against her daughter, identified in the suit as S.W., according to KNBC.
The first version of the lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in 2019, according to Justia U.S. Law.
That lawsuit went through multiple continuances, some linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, before being dismissed on April 26 because no pretrial documents were filed. On July 8, Pitts lost her appeal of the federal court dismissal.
The July 8 order dismissing Pitts’s appeal makes reference to settlement discussions between Pitts and the school district, but it does not explain what was taking place. Roughly a month after losing in federal court, Pitts filed her lawsuit in California state court.
Rashunda Pitts said her daughter experienced emotional distress as a result of the project at Laurel Cinematic Arts Creative Tech Magnet that her teacher said was to help students “gain a real-life experience of what African American slaves had endured,”https://t.co/HGVMUFz9rw
— Los Angeles Times (@latimes) August 15, 2022
The lawsuit attacked what Pitts called the “Cotton Picking Project,” according to the Los Angeles Times.
In 2017, the girl was attending since-closed Laurel Span School and participated in a project designed to “gain a real-life experience as to what the African American slaves had endured.” The suit said this caused the girl emotional distress.
“She (S.W.) has uncontrollable anxiety attacks and has experiences bouts of depression when she thinks about the cotton picking project,” the suit alleged, the Times reported. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
The suit said that in September 2017, the girl, now 14, became withdrawn when discussing school, a major change from her initial attitude.
Pitts said that when she saw a cotton field at the school and inquired about it, she was told it was an activity linked to the reading of the autobiography of Frederick Douglass and was designed to show students what slavery was really like.
“Bewildered as to why a cotton field would be growing in Hollywood, let alone on public school property, she called the front office to speak with the principal about the cotton field,” the suit said, according to KNBC.
“Completely incensed with the idea that the school would have her daughter and other children pick cotton as a school exercise to identify with the real-life experience of African-American slaves, Ms. Pitts expressed her disappointment and hurt in regards to the culturally insensitive and incompetent project,” the suit said.
Pitts demanded the field be taken down in 24 hours. School officials said they might be able to do that in a week or so, according to the Times.
The school district issued a statement in October 2017 saying that they regret “that an instructional activity in the garden at Laurel School was construed as culturally insensitive,” according to the state court lawsuit obtained by NBC News.
“Tending to the garden where a variety of fruits, vegetables and other plants grow is a school-wide tradition that has been in place for years and has never been used as a tool to re-enact historical events,” the 2017 school statement said.
The district said it would not comment on the suit filed in state court, according to NBC News.
The lawsuit said students were required to pick cotton, although S.W. was not among them. Instead, she tended to other crops in the school’s garden, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit said the girl said nothing at the time for fear of bad grades. The lawsuit also said parents were not informed of the activity, and their permission for their children to participate was never given.

NBA YoungBoy’s affiliate Quando Rondo is nursing gunshot wounds and mourning the death of one of his friends, Lul Pab.
The shooting incident reportedly took place in Georgia, outside of Atlanta, on Friday night (August 20). Multiple sources confirmed with Urban Islandz that Quando Rondo was shot, but he is alive. His condition remains unknown, but his friend, who is also an upcoming rapper, Lul Pab, was shot and killed in the gun attack.
On Friday night, a female who identified herself and Rondo’s aunt shared an update on her Instagram Story, telling folks to stop calling her because they are clogging her line and preventing her from getting important calls.
“I love everyone but please give my family time to call me,” the woman wrote. “You guys are clogging my line. We’re fine. Maybe I should reword it, he’s fine. I spoke with him myself.”
A few minutes later, she added another update asking folks to exercise patience and stop calling her phone. She also said that Quando Rondo is fine without giving any further updates.
Quando Rondo has been a target of shootings before. The young rapper has been on the radar of gangsters ever since the shooting death of King Von in 2020 in Atlanta during a fight the two crew had outside of a nightclub. In May 2021, Rondo escaped a gun attack unscathed when a group of gunmen fired several rounds toward him and his crew while standing outside a convenience store in Georgia. Cops revealed that the shooters fired shots from across the street. One of the rapper’s friends was injured in same shooting.
Quando Rondo later said in an interview that he is aware that he is a target in light of his connection to King Von’s death. He noted that he is prepared to deal with the consequence that comes with that life.
In November 2020, a fight erupted between King Von and Quando Rondo outside the famous Monaco Hookah Lounge in Atlanta, resulting in shots fired. Von and several persons were hit with bullets. Two persons reportedly died at the scene, and the Chicago rapper was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition. He was later pronounced dead while undergoing treatment.
Quando’s associate, Lul Tim, real name Timothy Leeks, was arrested a day later for the killings. Leeks later claimed self-defense and was released from police custody.
Quando Rondo is a member of the Never Broke Again crew. He recently bragged that NBA YoungBoy gave him $1 million following his acquittal in a federal firearm case in California. | https://grenadachronicle.com/nba-youngboy-affiliate-quando-rondo-shot-friend-lul-pab-killed-reports/ | 2022-08-20T08:34:22Z | https://grenadachronicle.com/nba-youngboy-affiliate-quando-rondo-shot-friend-lul-pab-killed-reports/ | false | 11 |
Jersey Shore star turned wrestler Zack Clayton wrestled his first match on TV this week but it didn’t go as well as he hoped.
The reality star and JWoww’s husband – who has been having matches on All Elite Wrestling’s YouTube shows Dark and Elevation for a couple of years – finally made his television debut on AEW Rampage as he fought Hook for the FTW Title.
The bout was set up last week with Clayton poised to battle the son of WWE and ECW legend Taz in a significant bout, but this was a blink and you’ll miss it moment.
He took a swing at the bell rang, but Hook ducked and immediately locked in his signature Red Rum submission hold for a speedy victory.
This wasn’t the ideal result for Zack, 27, who didn’t even really get a chance to impress any new fans after his entire in-ring AEW career to date has been made up of matches online.
It was a strong showcase for Hook though, as the rising star continues to show potential to be a major player in the future.
Zack had really hyped up the match beforehand, promising to beat the champion and to deliver ‘one of the biggest debuts ever’ in wrestling history.
‘The kid’s really good, but there are some things that Hook is not that I am,’ he told TMZ Sports before the bout. ‘It’s going to be a great show [and] great match nonetheless.’
He added: ‘Once this match happens this Friday, they’re never going to forget who I am. I know I’m going to make one of the biggest debuts ever in the sport this Friday on Rampage.’
Elsewhere on the show, Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland retained the AEW World Tag Team Titles in a great match against Private Party, while the tournament to crown the inaugural AEW World Trios Champions continue in the main event.
Best Friends picked up the win here over Trustbusters with some help from Danhausen.

VISALIA – A fire captain in charge of investigating the fire which destroyed the former Porterville Library on February, 18, 2020 took the witness stand for more than an hour on Friday during Day 3 of the Jurisdictional Hearing (trial) of the two youth who are charged with conspiracy, arson and manslaughter for starting the fire which killed Captain Ray Figueroa and Firefighter Patrick Jones.
The fire captain talked about the investigation he led, and of the various things it entailed, and of the findings of his investigation.
Starting with the front door, he said they worked their way in from the least-damaged areas of the library to the most-damaged areas. Along the way he and his team looked for charring and other fire-pattern indicators. The more charring there is, he said, the closer they get to the origin of the fire.
Pointing to photographs transmitted onto a screen by Attorney John Stinely, the investigator talked about the first photo submitted – one with damage caused by the collapsing of the roof and another area by the two large air-conditioning units which fell through causing damage.
The reference desk and computer lab did not have a lot of fire damage, he said.
In another photo, he pointed to an area showing the collapsed roof inside the library. However the roof had no charring and minimal sooting, he said, indicating the roof did not have fire pushing through that area.
“There was no charring or deposits on it, telling me that is not where the fire started,” he said.
In other areas, he pointed to areas where all the windows were gone but there was no charring on the counter top – giving the team direction to go towards as they looked for the origin of the fire.
As he moved through the photographs, each one showed more fire damage.
“In here, everything is disturbed,” he said and pointed to an area with a broken window. “At this point, we are still trying to determine (the origin.)”
He talked of the asphalt roof that moved across fast “like gasoline” and pointed to the area where the wall and roof collapsed.
“Just for reference,” he said, “The entire roof caved in. The whole roof collapsed.”
As he continued talking about the fire investigation, he pointed out smoke stains on the building in one photograph, and said the fire had a direction of south to north based on the smoke.
Other photographs showed bookshelves with no charring but small bubbles on the finish or laminate of the bookshelves caused by the cooled water poured on it during fire suppression.
He pointed to areas with rusting and said it was caused by “rapid oxidation” – rust which happens when a fire burning on metal is hit with cold water.
As they moved towards more rapid oxidation areas, they knew they were getting closer to the point of origin. During the process they ruled out an electrical start to the fire as there were no unexposed areas, “no arching and no beading” and said “None of the the wiring showed that.”
When they got to the staircase which had metal cabinets underneath, they saw rapid oxidation.
“You can start seeing a pattern,” he said. “The fire traveled through here.”
The last three photographs were taken of the same area – from far, nearer, and a close up – and showed a spring and flint for a lighter, and roller – which is what causes a spark, he said.
It was found five feet from the south wall on the west side of the library.
He then pointed to an area on the library map displayed on a screen as the area of the origin
“We did determine the cause to be intentionally set,” he said, saying nothing else in the area would have started it. “It was man-started.”
Tulare County Superior Court Judge Hugo Loza asked if it was started by a human being. The inspector answered “That is Correct.”
Attorney Richard Alvarez, representing one of the youth, talked about the structure and addition to the library in the 1950s and 1970s, respectively, and asked the investigator if he knew what was there prior to the library and said there is no way of knowing if things were discarded or dropped on the ground. He then asked about the fire inspector’s testimony on the spring and flint of the lighter, asking about a metal cover that was not found, which the fire inspector said there was so much water, it could have washed away. Alvarez then asked if water can move things around and move things in. “It could,” the fire inspector answered.
Attorney for the other youth, Megan Yanez then asked if it was turned over to Porterville Police Department and the fire inspector answered it was PPD who collected it and placed it into evidence.
Yanez then asked if any self contained breathing apparatus masks were found, and asked if Firefighter Patrick Jones’s mask was on his person and was he wearing it in an appropriate manner. She also asked how long the air would last. And whether is was above or below normal for the oxygen to only last 13 minutes.
Thirty minutes is standard, he said, but can be less in extreme situations, and that “Every fire and every situation is completely different,” said the fire inspector on the stand.
Yanez asked if the fire spread quickly because of the flammable equipment.
“Not flammable but combustible – wood and paper,” he said. “Flammable is gasoline” and mentioned again that the only thing in the area portion that was capable of causing a fire was the lighter. And when asked if all indicators lead to where the lighter was as the point of origin, he said “Yes.”
After leaving the witness stand, the next four witnesses consisted of the two mothers, and two teachers of the youth.
Both mothers, one after the other, were questioned by the prosecutor about teaching their children right from wrong, and at what age were they taught. One was asked about attending a Levantamiento, a Mexican festival where candles are used, but the mother answered when she went, she did not give the children candles.
The second mother was asked if she ever talked to her child about fires and whether she taught him to not use lighters.
“Were you scared of that man,” Alvarez asked referring to Stinely, and she said yes.
He asked if she was scared her would take her son away and she said yes, visible upset, and said last time they took him away from home for seven months. Alvarez asked again and again if she answered the prosecutor’s questions with what she thought he wanted to hear and asked more than once if one does not teach right from wrong, is that person a bad mother.
“I’m very confused. All this hurts me a lot,” she said through the interpreter and through tears. “I do everything I can for my kids.”
Alvarez asked the second mother if she was scared when police questioned them at her home and she said yes, because there were three of them and they were asking many things and her kids were crying. She said she was also upset because they took her son without a shirt and without shoes.
Stinely asked if the mother was lying to him earlier with her answers, changing it to asking if she was truthful with the police.
“I teach them about the right and wrong,” she said through the interpreter, and “Like I been trying to explain. I taught my son right from wrong.”
Stinely then asked her if she taught her son it was wrong to light fires. She answered yes before being dismissed.
The People then called on a teacher to take the stand. The English Language Arts instructor said she had (one youth) as an eighth grader in 2019-2020. She said he hardly ever broke any rules and that they had monthly fire drills. She also mentioned that the youth was reading at a third or fourth grade level but did follow and understand directions. But his Individualized Educational Plan did identify him as having a learning disability or being learning impaired.
The second teacher to take the stand, a science teacher at the youth’s middle school, was also asked about the same youth and said he followed directions “for the most part” but did have several disabilities and had an aide with him to remind him of what to do.
She also said there were no labs with Bunsen burners or flames, and only once entered class with horseplay, which was not allowed during lab. And that for the most part, understood right and wrong but there were “also times he had a blank stare.”
Stinely asked the science teacher if she ever talked to the parents about the one violation. She said no, she has 150 students and does not have time to call 150 parents.
Alvarez ended by saying the youth needed a lot of attention and had a special need for one-on-one assurance.
The Judge then called an end to the day and said more witnesses, including a teacher who would take the stand via Zoom, would be heard on Monday. | https://www.recorderonline.com/gallery/that-is-correct-fire-captain-testifies-library-fire-human-caused/article_e30e1b58-204f-11ed-a733-57c193b06282.html | 2022-08-20T08:36:35Z | https://www.recorderonline.com/gallery/that-is-correct-fire-captain-testifies-library-fire-human-caused/article_e30e1b58-204f-11ed-a733-57c193b06282.html | true | 1 |

Counties with the most super commuters in Oregon
There are more than 283 million vehicles on the road in the United States, and many of those cars, trucks, vans, and motorcycles are used to ferry people to and from their homes and jobs during their daily commutes. A small but growing number of people are walking and biking to work, particularly in compact college towns. Many more take public transportation, especially in major cities like New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Boston, and Seattle—but nationwide, public transit accounts for only about 5% of daily commutes.
The overwhelming majority of people still drive to and from work every day, and the vast majority of those car commuters drive alone—fewer than 10% of Americans carpool. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average one-way commute in the United States has grown to a record 26.9 minutes. That’s just shy of an hour a day that average Americans squander behind the wheel, not at home with their families, and instead, burning gas and putting miles on their cars.
For some Americans, however, the commute to work is far from average. A phenomenon known as super commuting has emerged and grown in recent years. Super commuters spend 90 minutes or more—each way—chasing their paychecks every day. The biggest percentage of super commuters work in the extraction industry, with workers pursuing lucrative jobs in remote mines, oil fields, and other energy operations. Many more, however, have been priced out of expensive housing in urban metro areas where high-paying jobs are located, far away from their less-expensive county of residence.
Stacker compiled a list of counties with the most super commuters in Oregon using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Counties are ranked by the highest percent of workers with a commute over 90 minutes, based on 2020 5-year estimates. Keep reading to see where in your state people are spending the most time going to and from work every day.

The 2022 US Amateur golf championship is the pinnacle of amateur golf in the United States and, indeed, around the world, as it is the most-coveted amateur golf title.
Earning the US Amateur title and the Havemeyer Trophy (named after the first USGA president) means getting through an incredible gauntlet, going from stroke-play qualifying down to a match-play bracket of 64 and six matches with seven rounds of golf to win the title.
2022 US Amateur format
The US Amateur format is grueling. The tournament starts with a 312-player field, double the typical full field on the PGA Tour. Those 312 players compete over two days on two separate courses (Longue Vue Club and host Oakmont Country Club this year), playing 36 total holes of stroke play. At the end of those two rounds, the top 64 players on the leaderboard advance into match play. Any ties that would allow more than 64 players in the bracket are settled with a sudden-death playoff until the 64-player bracket is filled.
After the Monday-Tuesday madness of stroke play, the 64-player field is then set to start the match play portion of the championship. Players are seeded based on where the finished on the leaderboard followed by a match of cards to determine seeds among players tied after stroke-play qualifying. Just like in any tournament, the No. 1 ranked player -- or the medalist in stroke play -- takes on the No. 64 player in one end of the bracket. On the other end, the No. 2 ranked player takes on No. 63. This continues on Wednesday in Round 1 matches to bring the field down to 32 players.
On Thursday, they play down from 32 to 16 in the morning, then 16 to eight in the afternoon. On Friday, they play down from eight to four. On Saturday, they play down from four to two in the afternoon. These are all 18-hole matches, with ties going to sudden-death until a winner is determined.
The final match is a 36-hole affair on Sunday, with a morning 18 holes, followed by lunch and an afternoon round until the match is decided. It does not have to go 36 holes.
At that point, we have a US Amateur champion and they get the Havemeyer Trophy for a year. | https://thegolfnewsnet.com/golfnewsnetteam/2022/08/19/2022-us-amateur-format-cut-rules-and-day-by-day-games-126874/ | 2022-08-20T09:06:47Z | https://thegolfnewsnet.com/golfnewsnetteam/2022/08/19/2022-us-amateur-format-cut-rules-and-day-by-day-games-126874/ | true | 1 |
A declaration from USDT issuer Tether Holdings Limited unveiled data from an independent attestation about the company’s previous quarter’s performance. An Italian based accounting firm BDO Italia made assessment of Tether’s assets, as reported by Cointelegraph.
According to Cointelegraph, Tether had publicly made a commitment of decreasing its commercial paper holdings. The report’s data showed a 58% decrease in commercial paper exposure since the previous quarter from $20 billion to $8.5 billion. Paolo Ardoino, chief technology officer, Tether, tweeted about plans to continue decreasing its commercial paper holdings to $200 million by the end of August and nullify it by the following October.
On the basis of Cointelegraph, total amount of consolidated assets kept by Tether during the time period valued at over $66.4 billion. Meanwhile, total amount of consolidated liabilities equaled close to $66.2 billion, with majority of it being related to digital tokens. In May, 2021, Tether began releasing quarterly statements of its stablecoin deposits through a settlement agreed with the New York attorney general. This happened after a lawsuit against Tether made the claim that USDT didn’t get complete backing in its reserve at all times. In accordance to company’s reports, with emphasise on the oversight of BDO, it aims to get back to being a transparent platform. “The utility of Tether continues to be supported by the transparency of its reserves and has been a leading source of stability, allowing us to build a tool for the global economy,” Ardoino commented.
Moreover, Cointelegraph noted that Tether’s attestation report was released a week after the United States government sanctioned cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash, which contributed to an increase in USDT’s cicrculating supply. Reportedly, USDT holds the top spot as the world’s largest stablecoin in terms of market capitalisation, according to CoinMarketCap’s data. Tether intends to align itself with upcoming Ethereum merge to proof-of-stake.

“In the second quarter of 2022, the seasonally adjusted number of declarations of bankruptcies increased by 2.2% in the EU and by 2.5% in the euro area, compared with the first quarter of 2022,” the agency said in a report published on Wednesday.
The agency does not give the exact number of declarations, only the percentage. According to Eurostat, however, the number of bankruptcy filings has grown for a fourth quarter in a row.
Latvia observed the largest growth during the reporting period, with the number of companies filing for bankruptcy up by 74.4%. It was followed by Belgium, which saw a 14.7% increase, and Denmark [11.9%].
During this period, companies filed for bankruptcy in nearly all sectors of the EU economy, Eurostat says. Compared with the period before the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of declarations increased particularly in transportation, storage and accommodation, as well as food services.
A bankruptcy declaration is usually the start of the procedure aiming to declare a company insolvent. It is a court filing, issued to announce a financial struggle in a company, however, it is often provisional and does not always lead to the company’s cessation of activities. | https://www.islamtimes.org/en/news/1010065/eurostat-more-eu-firms-face-bankruptcy | 2022-08-20T09:17:39Z | https://www.islamtimes.org/en/news/1010065/eurostat-more-eu-firms-face-bankruptcy | false | 2 |
The ceremony was hosted by the Bolivian Ambassador to Tehran Romina Guadalupe Perez Ramos and some diplomats from the Iranian Foreign Ministry, and a number of foreign ambassadors and counselors in Tehran also attended ceremony.
Referring to the Act of Independence of Bolivia, Romina Perez Ramo in her speech said that after the independence [from Spain], the Republican State that emerged in 1825 did not have a national content as a congregation of the entire nation.
"So, the Republican state that emerged in 1825 despite its formal independence status was colonial. The political system was monopolized by liberal and conservative elites. The people only gained universal suffrage in 1952 after an insurrection that displaced the elites from power... Despite this fact, exclusion, inequality and social injustice were the common denominators, aggravated by the permanent coups that took place until 1980 and later by the neoliberal policies with which until 2005 they plundered the natural resources of Bolivia."
"Faced with class oppression, discrimination, and social injustice, the Bolivian people resisted, and parallel to the social and political struggles articulated their own political instrument, called the Political Instrument for the Sovereignty of the Peoples, to dispute power electorally against the traditional political parties of ruling caste and neoliberal," the Bolivian envoy noted.
Elsewhere in her remarks, Perez Ramo pointed to Iran's Nuclear Program for peaceful purposes, saying, "The Plurinational State of Bolivia has supported and endorsed this Program as a sovereign right of the peoples to develop science and technology."
"We have closely followed the entire process of negotiations and commitments, that have been taking place up to date, and we have appreciated the political will and valued the excellent diplomatic management that Iran has carried out not only to reach this agreement in 2015 but also to put it on track; and also, like many states, we have lamented and repudiated the departure of the US from the Agreement," she added.
"Iran has unilaterally maintained its commitments in a multilateral agreement with clear disadvantages and damage to Iran, and despite this, it is unfairly the victim of sanctions that harms its economy and affect its society. Therefore, Bolivia stands in solidarity with Iran and condemns the imposed economic war," the envoy underlined.
During the ceremony, a video of the speech by the President of the Plurinational State of Bolivia Luis Alberto Arce Catacora was also played in which he commemorated the 197th anniversary of the country's independence.
After the speech, the Bolivian ambassador also honored the daughter of former Iran’s IRGC Quds Force Commander Maj. Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the ambassador of Turkmenistan to Iran Gurbanov Ahmet Kakabayevich and Assistant of Iran Foreign Minister and Director General of American office at the ministry Eisa Kameli. | https://en.mehrnews.com/news/190426/Bolivia-celebrates-197th-anniversary-of-independence | 2022-08-20T09:28:46Z | https://en.mehrnews.com/news/190426/Bolivia-celebrates-197th-anniversary-of-independence | true | 1 |

Gail Lynn Hannon carries a compilation of her grandfather’s myriad of achievements.
If someone wants to learn about his life, then she gladly shares a copy. He excelled in numerous sports, from baseball to football to track and field. In 1912, as Hannon and her extended family know well, he solidified his status as “greatest athlete in the world” with gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon at the Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden.
The family always acknowledged the truth: Jim Thorpe placed first in both events. But for more than a century, the International Olympic Committee didn’t recognize this.
On July 15, the IOC made a revision that finally returned the distinction to the late Thorpe, who owned a home in small-town Yale and lived there with his first wife and children. The committee announced Thorpe, a member of the Sac and Fox Nation, would be reinstated in Olympic records as the standalone winner of the 1912 pentathlon and decathlon.
Hannon, Thorpe’s oldest living direct descendant, heard the news from her nephew, Illinois resident James “Jim” Thorpe Kossakowski – the great-grandson of Thorpe.
“I thanked everybody for all their work and time and wonderful effort to get this accomplished,” said Hannon, who lives in Florida. “And I am in awe that people still care so much about him.”
At 84, Hannon has seen people celebrate her grandfather’s athletic legacy, but she knows others have overlooked and understated it. The road to Thorpe’s Olympic recognition required great effort from family members and activists while the record books didn’t accurately reflect his achievements for nearly 110 years. Gail Hendrix, Thorpe’s great-granddaughter who lives in Yale, called it “the longest competition in Olympic history.”
Kossakowski, Hendrix’s brother, pointed out how the prolonged process extended through generations. It’s a posthumous honor for Thorpe, who died in 1953, and his daughter Gail, who advocated for restoration of his records until her death in 2005.
In the 1980s, the situation was partially rectified when the IOC named Thorpe a co-champion and presented replica gold medals to his descendants, but it was an incomplete correction.
Kossakowski was a child then. Now, almost 40 years later, the records are fully amended.
“(Thorpe’s) children have all passed, and now you’re going to be talking to grandchildren,” Kossakowski said. “I’m a great-grandchild of his, so this is a long, long process, and I’m so thankful that they finally got his record put back in as the sole winner.”
The controversy began in 1913, when the IOC stripped Thorpe of his medals because of the discovery that he had briefly received pay for playing minor-league baseball. At the time, this infringed on the Olympics’ stringent amateurism rules.
In 2012, Sally Jenkins of Smithsonian Magazine wrote about the unfairness of his disqualification.
“Countless white athletes abused the amateurism rules and played minor-league ball with impunity,” Jenkins said. “What’s more, the IOC did not follow its own rules for disqualification: Any objection to Thorpe’s status should have been raised within 30 days of the Games, and it was not.”
When Thorpe, the United States’ first Native American gold medalist, competed in the Olympics, the government didn’t even recognize Indigenous people as citizens. This was 12 years before the passage of the Indian Citizenship Act.
Hannon said her grandfather dealt with instances of racism, but she does not cite prejudice as the reason for the delays surrounding his record reinstatement.
She and Kossakowski said they have no idea why it took so long. Maybe, Hannon theorized, it dragged on because of ignorance: much of the public isn’t informed about the extent of his success, so naming him the sole gold medalist hadn’t been a priority.
“It’s a shame,” Hannon said. “… They don’t realize all that he did, all that he accomplished, all the sports he was involved in. He was just the most beautiful natural athlete ever.”
Is it too late for society to give him due credit? Hannon said she thinks “we’ve lost the greatest athlete of all time” and many people will not know who he was. Well-known publications have sometimes excluded him from honors and conversations about the world’s best athletes.
But at least 75,936 people are invested in making sure Thorpe’s accolades are not forgotten.
That’s the number of signatures on the petition “Help Correct the Olympic Records & Return Jim Thorpe’s Wins,” featured on the Bright Path Strong website. Bright Path Strong is a nonprofit organization with a title that alludes to Thorpe’s name Wa-Tho-Huk, which translates to “Bright Path.” Honorary board members include Thorpe descendants Mary Thorpe, Teresa Thorpe and Anita Thorpe; and multiple tribal partners are listed on the group’s website, working to preserve his legacy and “share and amplify authentic Native American voices and stories, past and present.”
Krystyn Kossakowski, Thorpe’s great-granddaughter who lives in Stillwater, said it was awesome to see supporters faithfully working to bring about change using the petition. It features comments from signees across the United States and beyond.
“I just think his story alone is so incredible,” Krystyn said. “I think it just really strikes a chord with a lot of people, especially Native Americans and people in the sports world.”
The narrative of Thorpe’s life transcends sports, carrying a message of perseverance in the face of adversity and grief. As an adolescent, he dealt with tremendous loss. His twin, Charlie, died at age 9, and by 16, Thorpe had lost both of his parents.
“Jim Thorpe endured a lot of challenges in his life,” Jim Kossakowski said. “Being Native American brought some additional challenges to that, especially in the early 1900s there.
“… He overcame every challenge he ever faced and did it with class and dignity.”
Buoyed by a stellar career at Carlisle Indian School, Thorpe widely established himself as the GOAT – aka greatest of all time – long before the acronym was coined and sports fans intensely debated who was worthy of the title. When Thorpe won the decathlon in 1912, King Gustav V of Sweden famously declared, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.”
Thorpe’s pursuits were eclectic. He served as the inaugural president of the American Professional Football Association (which morphed into the NFL), played Major League Baseball and even won a ballroom dancing championship.
To Hannon, Thorpe was a kindhearted grandfather.
Hannon said she met him in Chicago after World War II, when she was no older than 8 or 9. Although she knew him as a family member, she also sensed something extraordinary about his life. She recalled a childhood memory from North Carolina when, while her family arrived home, burglars escaped out the back door, smuggling some of Thorpe’s memorabilia. Although it was a startling moment, it illustrated the value of those possessions.
“That was the very beginning of my realization that, ‘Gee, my grandpa was famous,’” Hannon said.
Despite his celebrity status, Thorpe remained personable and approachable, taking time to play football with kids in Yale. His descendants share not only his love for sports, but also his unpretentiousness.
“We’re a normal family, and it’s not like we came into big money or anything like that,” Krystyn said. “It’s (about) restoring his name, and we’re so honored for everything that he’s done. He deserves it, and I think we all fought really hard to make sure that that happened.”
The family of Sweden’s Hugo Wieslander, who became the decathlon gold medalist when the IOC took Thorpe’s medals, was on board with the mission. According to an Associated Press article, the IOC said it was confirmed that “Wieslander himself had never accepted the Olympic gold medal allocated to him, and had always been of the opinion that Jim Thorpe was the sole legitimate Olympic gold medalist.”
The Swedish Olympic Committee, as well as the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports – pentathlon runner-up Ferdinand Bie was Norwegian – concurred, per the AP.
Since the announcement in July, Thorpe’s descendants have rejoiced. Krystyn said people in Stillwater have congratulated her, and the news has circulated throughout the family.
The mission to preserve and highlight Thorpe’s legacy continues. James Kossakowski said he has never seen the original medals, and he would like for them to be presented to the family.
He holds onto the replicas, and when he heard about Thorpe’s medal reinstatement, he took some time to admire them. Then he delivered a prayer of gratitude to his late grandmother, Gail, Thorpe’s eldest daughter. Jim Kossakowski said he has notes from the 1970s that she and her siblings wrote, trying to devise a plan for Thorpe’s medal reinstatement.
“Hopefully, my mom and her are standing next to each other and just smiling, saying, ‘I wish I could be down sharing this with my family,’” Jim Kossakowski said. “They worked so hard, so many years for this, and I only wish they could be here to see it happen.” | https://www.stwnewspress.com/sports/thorpe-s-olympic-reinstatement-brings-resolution-to-decades-of-efforts-from-family-activists/article_01c67eee-202a-11ed-b423-d38b6e03a837.html | 2022-08-20T09:42:50Z | https://www.stwnewspress.com/sports/thorpe-s-olympic-reinstatement-brings-resolution-to-decades-of-efforts-from-family-activists/article_01c67eee-202a-11ed-b423-d38b6e03a837.html | false | 2 |

BEIRUT (AP) — A rocket attack on a crowded market in a town held by Turkey-backed opposition fighters in northern Syria killed 15 people on Friday and wounded dozens, an opposition war monitor and a paramedic group said.
The attack on the town of al-Bab came days after a Turkish airstrike killed at least 11 Syrian troops and U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, blamed Syrian government forces for Friday’s shelling, saying it was in apparent retaliation for the Turkish airstrike.
The Observatory said three children were among the 15 killed, and that there were more than 30 wounded. The opposition’s Syrian Civil Defense, also known as White Helmets, had the same death toll but said 28 people were wounded. The paramedic group said its members evacuated some of the wounded and the dead bodies.
“This is the worst massacre committed by regime forces since the battles stopped between the regime and the opposition,” said the Observatory’s chief Rami Abdurrahman, referring to a cease-fire in March 2020 that ended a wide Syrian government offensive on rebel-held areas.
The U.S.-backed Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said in a statement that its fighters did not shell al-Bab. There was no comment from the government.
Turkey has launched three major cross-border operations into Syria since 2016 and controls some Syrian territory in the north.
Although the fighting has waned over the past few years, shelling and airstrikes are not uncommon in northern Syria — the last major rebel stronghold in the country.
Syria’s conflict, which began in March 2011, has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced half the country’s pre-war population of 23 million. President Bashar Assad’s forces have regained control of most parts of Syria over the past few years, with the help of their allies, Russia and Iran.
In other developments, the Observatory and the U.S. military said a drone strike late on Thursday night in northeastern Syria killed four women and wounded several others.
The Observatory blamed Turkey for the strike, saying it targeted a facility where Syrian Kurdish women were doing sports. A female Syrian Kurdish commander with the U.S.-backed forces was visiting at the time of the attack, the Observatory said.
A U.S. military commander, Maj. Gen. John Brennan, condemned the attack and said the drone struck a group of teenage girls playing volleyball under a U.N. education and outreach program.
“Such acts are contrary to the laws of armed conflict, which require the protection of civilians,” Brennan, commander of the Combined Joint Task Force, said in a statement.
Brennan also said the “increase in military hostilities in northern Syria is creating chaos in a fragile region” and called for immediate de-escalation from all sides in the conflict, citing the still-present threat of the Islamic State group in the area. | https://www.wavy.com/news/world/market-blast-in-north-syria-kills-at-least-9-injures-dozens/ | 2022-08-20T09:48:01Z | https://www.wavy.com/news/world/market-blast-in-north-syria-kills-at-least-9-injures-dozens/ | false | 24 |
Former India football team captain Samar 'Badru' Banerjee, who led the country to a historic fourth-place finish in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, died in the early hours of Saturday after a prolonged illness.
He was 92. Banerjee is survived by his daughter-in-law.
Fondly known as ‘Badru Da’, he was suffering from Alzheimer’s, Azotemia and high-blood pressure-related ailments, and was admitted at the MR Bangur Hospital after testing positive for Covid-19 on July 27.
"As his health deteriorated he was shifted to the state-run SSKM Hospital under the supervision of state sports minister Arup Biswas. He breathed his last around 2.10am," Mohun Bagan secretary Debasish Dutta told PTI.
Loss for the ‘maidan’
"He was our beloved 'Badru Da' and we had bestowed him with the Mohun Bagan Ratna in 2009. It's another big loss for the Maidan," he added in his condolence message.
His body was brought to the club as the members and fans paid their last respects.
The Indian football teams have participated in three Olympics so far and to date, the performance by the Banerjee-led 1956 side remains the best, when they finished fourth after losing to Bulgaria 0-3 in the bronze medal playoff, in what was known as the 'golden era' of football in the country.
Having got a walkover in the first round, the Syed Abdul Rahim-coached side that also had the likes of PK Banerjee, Neville D'Souza and J 'Kittu' Krishnaswamy, defeated Australia 4-2. D'Souza struck a hat-trick in their glorious win.
Besides guiding Mohun Bagan to several trophies including their first ever Durand Cup (1953), Rovers Cup (1955), Banerjee has also won the Santosh Trophy twice as a player (1953, 1955) and once as coach (1962). He also served India as selector.
Tracing his roots
At a time when there was little incentive for a sportsperson, an 18-year-old Banerjee chose to become a footballer and went on to represent Bally Protiva, a third division club in the Calcutta Football League.
He was roped in by Bengal Nagpur Railway, the nurturing ground for the state football then, before going on to make a mark at Mohun Bagan during an excellent eight-year stint.
He then guided the club to their first ever Durand Cup next season, with his key strikes in the semi-final and final.
Banerjee again hogged the Maidan limelight in 1954 when they secured another first, a double with the CFL and IFA Shield titles, as he went on to cement his place in the Indian side under coach Rahim.
In 1958, he was made Mohun Bagan captain which ironically coincided with the club's downward spiral, having finished runners-up in the CFL, Shield and the Rovers Cup.

Rail strike disrupts West Midlands services
- Published
Commuters across the West Midlands are being urged to check train timetables before they travel due to nationwide rail strikes on Saturday.
More than 40,000 railway workers, who are members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) union are set to walk out.
West Midlands Railway and Avanti West Coast have said "a very limited service" will be in operation and advised people to only travel if necessary.
This latest strike concerns a dispute about pay.
Network Rail says only about 20% of Britain's rail network will be operating on Saturday and some parts of the country will have no trains at all.
Trains that do run will start later and finish earlier than usual and timetables have been amended.
A reduced number of West Midlands Railway trains will be running from Birmingham to London Euston via Northampton as well as from Birmingham to Crewe via Wolverhampton.
Services will also be limited between Lichfield and Bromsgrove, the operator added.
London Northwestern Railway services will not be running on other routes.
Transport For Wales has also announced none of its trains will be running on Saturday.
Cross Country services to Birmingham New Street will also be affected.
Passengers have faced disruption over the summer because of several other strikes, as unions have called for pay increases in line with inflation.

Relevant news alleges that in addition to continuing to deploy the mobile game market, Netflix seems to be preparing to build its own cloud streaming game service.
Recently released vacancies from Netflix, in which the skills part requires application development experience in Unity and Unreal Engine, and also mentions the cloud streaming game service that is expected to be built, and the current vacancy will be responsible for the rendering and processing of game content streaming. And help to create relevant tool resources, so that developers can smoothly put game content on the cloud streaming game service provided by Netflix.
However, Netflix has not yet disclosed whether it is preparing to build its own cloud streaming game service, but judging from the recent announcement of in-depth cooperation with Microsoft, it may mean that Netflix will also use Microsoft to provide technology to create its own cloud streaming game service.
Netflix has set up streaming servers all over the world to support the huge streaming video service viewing traffic, so it should be quite sufficient for streaming game services, and it is expected to increase the number of users through this service. | https://www.breakinglatest.news/health/job-openings-reveal-that-netflix-is-preparing-to-build-its-own-cloud-streaming-game-service-mashdigi/ | 2022-08-20T09:49:01Z | https://www.breakinglatest.news/health/job-openings-reveal-that-netflix-is-preparing-to-build-its-own-cloud-streaming-game-service-mashdigi/ | true | 1 |
Melbourne officials have denied suggestions they have offered Cameron Munster a third-party deal, in contravention of NRL rules, in a bid to keep him at the club.
Comments made by Munster’s manager, Braith Anasta, on Fox Sports during the week set tongues wagging in club-land.
Anasta spoke on NRL 360 about the long-running battle for Munster’s signature for 2024 and beyond. When asked what would need to change for Munster to re-sign, Anasta replied: “I think ideally Cameron and myself would like them [Melbourne] to move more on the cap than where they are right now”.
Several rival clubs and managers – and even Melbourne – interpreted the comments to suggest a third-party deal had been tabled, which clubs are not allowed to do, as part of a package.
Anasta later said he did not mean to imply such a deal had been offered.
Storm chairman Matt Tripp said he was aware of the comment, and what it implied, but said the club had “tried to remain holier-than-thou” when it came to third-party deals and the salary cap following the scandal that engulfed the club more than a decade ago, which resulted in Melbourne being stripped of two NRL premierships.
“I heard the comment,” Tripp said. “We have not offered third parties, so Braith’s comments were strange. The bottom line is Braith was asking for more money.
“We’ve said we have no more room on the cap. That’s that. Since I’ve been a director at the club, nobody is squeakier clean than us, and that’s the way it will stay.
“When Braith said what he said, I asked [chief executive] Justin [Rodski], ‘What’s he talking about there? What does it even mean?’ The comment didn’t come out right.
“I’ll catch up with Braith at some point [and say], ‘Here’s our position, and if we leave it until November 1, we’re resigned to not being in the race’.”
The Dolphins and coach Wayne Bennett are the biggest threat to the Storm with the NRL newcomers reportedly prepared to offer Munster a deal worth about $1.3 million a season. Melbourne’s offer is about $850,000 a year.
Third-party deals that are at “arm’s length” from clubs are allowed under NRL rules and are excluded from the salary cap. However, clubs cannot facilitate a deal and cannot use them as a means to induce players to sign.
Tripp has run several successful betting agencies, will launch his latest online venture next month, and earlier this year asked the NRL whether there was any concern with gun trio Harry Grant, Ryan Papenhuyzen and Jahrome Hughes investing in his latest venture.
Tripp told the Herald at the time there was no conflict of interest and maintained on Saturday “the offers were never used as a negotiating tool”.
Melbourne believes Munster will play his best football at the premiership powerhouse, who thumped Brisbane 60-12 on Friday night to re-establish their premiership credentials after a tough mid-season run. The Storm also know happiness is key for the larrikin playmaker, who has thrived since abstaining from alcohol and being back in the Victorian capital after two seasons in a COVID-19 bubble.
“He wants to be a Melbourne Storm player for life; he loves it down here and is very torn,” Tripp said. “There will be bigger numbers put on the table elsewhere. We desperately want to keep Cameron, but not at the cost of losing two or three other players.”
Further complicating things for Melbourne is that the NRL has not announced what the salary cap will be for 2023 and beyond. Most clubs are working towards $10.5 million in 2023, but are aware it could go as high as $11 million.
Munster would become one of the few Storm players to have ‘ratchet’ clauses inserted into any new deal, which would see his earnings increase with any rise in the cap.
Munster’s 12-month booze ban, put in place by the club following the “white powder” scandal at the end of last season, will expire while he is in England for the World Cup, and while Tripp would love his close friend to continue avoiding alcohol, also knows “he’s a big boy who will make decisions for himself”.

Jamie Vardy signs a new two-year contract at Leicester despite interest from Man United and Chelsea this summer... with the striker to stay past the age of 37 in a huge boost to Brendan Rodgers
- Jamie Vardy has handed Leicester a boost by signing a new two-year contract
- Chelsea and Man united expressed interest in the 35-year-old this summer
- Vardy joined Leicester for £1million from non-league Fleetwood in 2012
Jamie Vardy has handed troubled Leicester a huge boost by signing a new two-year deal with the club.
The veteran forward, possibly the greatest player in the club’s history, will extend his stay at King Power Stadium beyond his 37th birthday.
Vardy joined Leicester for £1million from non-league Fleetwood in 2012 and has made history for the club, helping them win the Premier League title and the FA Cup for the first time.
Jamie Vardy has handed Leicester City a huge boost by signing a new two-year contract
Chelsea and Manchester United both expressed interest in the 35-year-old this summer
As Vardy had entered the final year of his contract, there had been tentative expressions of interest from Chelsea and Manchester United, but the 35-year-old’s sole focus was to stay at Leicester.
Vardy’s new contract should lift the mood at Leicester after a troubled summer. Chelsea target Wesley Fofana missed parts of this week’s training programme and is unlikely to feature in Saturday’s league game against Southampton.
The Blues have offered up to £65million for Fofana but Leicester are holding out for more than £80m, which would be a world record fee for a defender.
Leicester are also the only club in Europe’s top five leagues yet to make a senior outfield signing, with the club’s tight financial situation restricting their movements in the transfer market.

Steven Gerrard has warned his Aston Villa players to be wary of the dark arts in football when they play Crystal Palace this afternoon after the sending off for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez.
Palace earned themselves a point in a 1-1 draw at Anfield on Monday, but the match was not without controversy as Liverpool new boy was shown a red card for a headbutt on defender Joachim Andersen.
Although Nunez's red card was deserved, it became apparent in a video published on social media that Andersen had made it his mission to wind the Uruguayan up in the game at Anfield.

Before his Villa charges take on Patrick Vieira's Palace, Gerrard acknowledged that every team in the Premier League tries to gain an edge, but he wants his side to be alive to it at Selhurst Park.
Gerrard said in his pre-match press conference: "We have to be prepared for gamesmanship. It happens at the top level of football. Players try and gain any kind of advantage, we do it ourselves.
"I’ve got no problem with that but we have to be prepared to go there and play with discipline. It's important we keep 11 men on the pitch at all times. It’s difficult enough with 11 players so we don't need any unnecessary incidents where we go down to 10 men.
"The players will be prepared for every eventuality and it’s up to them to make sure they perform with discipline and contribute to the best way to win. If you're not ready for it, you fall into the trap and you get a three-game ban. This is not a case of saying defenders are at it because there are a lot of streetwise forwards out there.
"The clear thing is that you can't get away with those sort of reactions any more with more cameras and VAR. You’ve got to be really careful with your reaction.
"You might not be at fault initially. But your reaction can get you into big trouble as well."

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2707254378996/cheney-s-day-of-reckoning-in-wyoming-s-aug-16-primary-election | 2022-08-20T10:14:23Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2707254378996/cheney-s-day-of-reckoning-in-wyoming-s-aug-16-primary-election | true | 12721 |
Only big cricketing nations are contributing to Test cricket at the moment, opines Graeme Smith
Today at 3:03 PM
Former South Africa cricketer Graeme Smith has remarked that only top cricketing nations are contributing to Test cricket at the moment. He further praised Virat Kohli’s captaincy saying the Indian team started taking Test cricket seriously and also produced some great results in red-ball cricket.
The future of Tests and ODIs amongst rising in T20 leagues has been a hot topic of debate recently. Ben Stokes retired from ODIs citing the reason for workload management recently. Also, Trent Boult pulled out of the central contract with New Zealand cricket, and more players are expected to follow the practice in the coming years. Boult withdrew from central contracts to play more T20 leagues and have some more time to spend with family.
Sharing his views regarding the issue, Graeme Smith has opined that only a handful of nations are contributing to the development of Test cricket.
"With Test cricket, it's just iconic nations or the big cricketing nations that are contributing to Test cricket at the moment," Smith said on 'Sky Sports' on day three of the first Test between South Africa and England.

Find OutIndia have become a top-notch side in Test cricket and their journey to become a powerhouse in red-ball cricket started under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. The team won the Test series while touring Australia and England under his leadership and the bowling attack has become one of the most threatening bowling attacks. Smith believes that India started focusing on Test cricket during the captaincy of Virat Kohli.
"I think it's fantastic especially under Virat Kohli that India really took Test cricket seriously. They lead the way with that,” he stated.
"But as long as we've got competitive teams, you're not going to have 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 competitive teams. You might only be down to five or six nations that play Test cricket at this level.”
Many former cricketers have expressed their concern over the future of ODIs as there has been a rise in the shortest format. India will start their Asia Cup campaign on August 28 and it will be important in the lead-up to T20 World Cup.

I am of the view that Parliamentary Committee on Media, Misa Malawi, Media Council and Malawi Communication Regulatory Authority (MACRA) should sit down and see how best to handle these issues.
We cannot afford media institutions being closed like brothels in this manner. In the process we are denying the citizenry their right to Information which is a fundamental right in a democracy.
Laws are not meant to oppress people. It’s just a matter of balancing these laws; the right to doing business and earns a living, right to employment, freedom of the press and the communications act.
Seems Misa Malawi was only seen working under Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), now they have lost their voice.
They are busy with photo-shoots sessions during some of their media workshops basi and statements on 3rd May (on Press Freedom Day).
As for Media Council of Malawi, remind me where can i find them in town by the way?
And who is the Chair for this Parliamentary Committee on media? Kapena Shadreck Namalomba anamutengelanso injunction? Oops! I forgot its Sabbath, time for Church. | https://www.malawivoice.com/2022/08/20/enough-misa-malawi-must-wake-up-we-cannot-afford-media-institutions-being-closed-like-brothels/ | 2022-08-20T10:24:24Z | https://www.malawivoice.com/2022/08/20/enough-misa-malawi-must-wake-up-we-cannot-afford-media-institutions-being-closed-like-brothels/ | true | 1 |

Likely, this won’t please many elected officials, including those for whom I vote. The system itself bares the blame — not well intended people who occupy elected positions.
My hope is that more caring citizens will give it increased attention before they vote, pressing candidates and those now in office for specific details on how they will deal now with specific ways to save this planet.
The devastation being wrought by a rapidly changing climate, the continuing deaths and illnesses from the coronavirus’ many mutations, political unrest and increasing violence everywhere ought to be wake-up calls that we may not be doing what is best for ourselves and others.
Is it possible that we human beings are parasites, draining all the planet’s resources that sustain life, including all flora and fauna? When humans are the only species to define “success” by materialism and growth, are we as brilliant as we claim? Are not we all guilty of admiring or acquiring a nicer house and furnishing it with more items than we truly need each day, and throwing out foods that we didn’t finish?
Well-researched data show that we could cut in half the gigatons of carbon dioxide produced just by reducing food waste and expanding family planning faster than by building and using more electric vehicles or recycling. It is past time, hopefully not too late, to judge ourselves by the help we extend to others — including all life upon which we depend. | https://www.sentinelsource.com/opinion/letters_to_the_editor/reader-opinion-waste-not-want-not-and-well-be-better-off-by-ruth-meyer/article_8f1ae0a4-07b3-5296-be66-ef85a553ea53.html | 2022-08-20T10:45:00Z | https://www.sentinelsource.com/opinion/letters_to_the_editor/reader-opinion-waste-not-want-not-and-well-be-better-off-by-ruth-meyer/article_8f1ae0a4-07b3-5296-be66-ef85a553ea53.html | true | 1 |

KAKINADA: Two workers were electrocuted and four others suffered injuries after they came into contact with an exposed power cable at Parry Sugars Refinery here on Friday. Workers Rayudu Veera Venkata Satyanarayana (36) and Veeramalla Rajeswara Rao (45) came into contact with a live cable while plugging in an air-blower, and were killed instantly, police said.
The men conducted electricity to a nearby conveyor belt, injuring Jagu Veerababu (31), Garlankala Surya Subrahmanyam (45), Morukurti Jagannadham (42) and Gandi Veerababu (27), whose condition is critical. The incident led to a short-circuit and fire around 10.30 am. The factory authorities informed the police around 12.21 pm, after removing the bodies. After the incident, other workers staged a protest, accusing the factory of negligence. CITU and several Dalit organisations supported the agitation. District police chief M Ravindranath Babu visited the factory and spoke to the workers. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2022/aug/20/andhra-pradesh-two-electrocuted-four-injured-at-sugar-refinery-unit-2489470.html | 2022-08-20T10:50:35Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2022/aug/20/andhra-pradesh-two-electrocuted-four-injured-at-sugar-refinery-unit-2489470.html | false | 1 |
Duranga, a 9 episode crime-thriller series with a runtime of around 33 minutes each, is an official remake of the 2020 Korean drama series 'Flower of Evil' and is directed by Aijaz Khan. One-time convicted serial killer Bala Banne's (Zakir Hussain) progeny appear to be following in his footsteps. The brother and sister duo may have parted ways in childhood, but an ongoing series of murders keep linking up to their childhood antecedents - so their current lives are in constant upheaval.
The series details the lives of metal artist Sammit Desai( Gulshan Devaiah) and his family - his wife, a crime branch cop, Ira (Drashti Dhami), and his precocious little daughter who he lovingly refers to as caterpillar. Ira begins investigating multiple murders which inevitably leads her to discover shocking revelations about her husband's twisted past.
Sammit, though emotionally dysfunctional, is the ideal family man, Not only is he a great cook, he also takes care of his little daughter's needs while his wife is busy solving crimes. Their love story may have been unconventional.
Ira is the pursuant who convinces him that he loves her and conveniently decides that it's not really necessary for her to know about his past. It's the kind of contrived set-up that only a lack of imagination could have set into motion.
The series had potential - if you go by the kind of viewership the original 'Flower of Evil' entertained. But the adaptation into an Indian, pre-dominantly Maharashtrian milieu doesn't quite work up interest. The narrative flow is hampered by a studied unyielding pace, the twists are many but they just seem to be happening with a deliberation that is haphazardly manufactured. Episodes lack a gravitating tempo and the background score only comes alive when the narrative needs some added intrigue-push.
While Duranga is pretty much faithful to its origins, its narrative craft doesn't appear to be as happening. It's difficult to subsume Korean culture into an Indian one and the moral threads are way too unhinged.
It's hard to believe in a cop who trusts her husband so much that she is willing to overlook every obvious fault - and that too when the impression she is giving is that of an upright no-nonsense officer of the law. Red herrings are strewn across the narrative as though every person (other than the cops and the little kid) have some heinous criminal act to hide. Too much of the narrative runtime is taken up in establishing the lead actors' expressions.

There's really no pace to this telling and the actors also seem rather wide-eyed, while vigor, vitality, and dynamism are missing from the frames. It's as though the makers expected this series to do well anyway - so not much effort appears to have been expended to make this lethargic telling more gripping.

The Cleveland Browns started the full-team red zone portion of their Friday joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles with a pair of touchdown passes from Jacoby Brissett to Amari Cooper, a connection between the team’s undisputed No. 1 wide receiver and its No. 1 quarterback for now.
For the Browns, focusing on the now got easier Thursday when the NFL announced a settlement in the Deshaun Watson suspension appeal process. Watson, the franchise quarterback Cleveland traded for in March, will be suspended for the first 11 games of the season, so Brissett’s promotion that started on the practice field last Sunday will likely extend for the season’s first three months.
Will the Browns ride with Brissett as their starter? Or will they look to acquire Jimmy Garoppolo, who has been medically cleared following offseason shoulder surgery but remains under contract with the San Francisco 49ers despite not being in the team’s plans? So far, we have lots of guessing but no clarity. But with the Watson disciplinary process complete and final cuts a week and half away, we might know sooner than later if the Browns really trust Brissett, who has been a full participant in the offseason program and was chosen last March as the next guy in line while Watson’s fate was decided.
“I have to go out there and prove (myself) every day, right? I am just excited for the opportunity,” Brissett said Friday. “I do not take (this) lightly, obviously. (I’m) just going out there and continuing to be the man that I am, the player that I am and the teammate that I am. And I think all of that stuff kind of takes care of itself. I do not really have to speak on that.”
Both Browns coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry have expressed confidence in Brissett, but neither fully committed to him when the subject of potentially adding another quarterback was broached in the wake of the Watson ruling. Stefanski’s plan all along was to start working Brissett as the No. 1 quarterback last weekend at these joint practices with the Eagles and continue that next week when the Browns’ itinerary will simulate a regular-season week ahead of the team’s preseason finale on Aug. 27.
Brissett will start that game. Watson won’t play in either of the team’s two final two preseason games, and his suspension will begin Aug. 30 after the Browns cut their roster to the regular-season size of 53. At that point, the Browns will still have about seven practices before the Sept. 11 season opener at Carolina.

The Browns’ offseason started with a trade for Cooper. Six days later, the Browns made their mega-deal for Watson. A day after making that trade, they signed Brissett to be the emergency fill-in and a steady presence in the huddle. In some ways, they’re right on schedule. But the team thought and hoped that Watson would receive a lesser suspension — perhaps four to six games. Now he’s suspended through November.
“We brought in Jacoby (in March) and we feel very good about Jacoby,” Berry said. “We like what we have seen throughout the spring and we have liked what we have seen throughout the summer, so we have a high degree of confidence in him. No different than any other position on the roster, we will continue to evaluate our team over the course of the camp, but we’re really pleased with Jacoby.”
That’s not the strongest endorsement from the boss, but endorsements from the locker room have been strong since the spring.
“We 100 percent believe in Jacoby,” Cooper said. “He wouldn’t be out there if we didn’t.”
The Browns were partially drawn to Brissett’s experience in uncertain situations. Brissett made a short-week start as a rookie in 2016 while Tom Brady was suspended, was traded six days before the start of his second season then took over as the Indianapolis Colts’ starter in 2019 after Andrew Luck’s late-August retirement and had two different starting stints last season as an injury replacement for the Miami Dolphins. Given that the Browns always expected Watson to be suspended and the initial six-game suspension ruling was made on Aug. 1, this is actually more notice than Brissett has ever gotten as a pro that he’s going to be a starting quarterback.
“I do not think it’s like we were sitting around waiting for anything,” Brissett said of Watson’s suspension. “We were preparing for whatever. Obviously, it’s done now so just go about our business how we have been going.
“(I have) experience in situations, and I think that has been the key. Since I have been in the league, (my path) has shown me how fast this league is. Being the next man up and being ready whenever your number is called … I am excited for the opportunity and ready to go.”
Brissett is neither the runner nor the passer that Watson is, and the feel of the offense through three-plus weeks of camp has been very different based on who’s quarterbacking the No. 1 group. But Brissett clearly has gotten more comfortable with his surroundings and has been a better passer in recent practices than he was early on.
Through it all, he has maintained a business-as-usual approach that’s been molded by his previous NFL experiences.
“I think Jacoby is very authentic,” Stefanski said. “I do not think he changes day to day, whether he is getting 100 reps or zero reps. He just goes about his business.
“He just is himself. He is not a very loud, boisterous guy, but he is thoughtful and he is very, very intelligent. I think the players naturally respect him for who he is as a player in this league and what he has made of his career to date. He is an established pro, so the guys certainly respect him. I think what he does is he works and he does not say much when he works, and I think the guys really see that day in and day out.”

In 2016, Brissett made his first NFL appearance — and, four days later, his first start — when Garoppolo suffered a shoulder injury. Brissett was a third-round pick of the Patriots who landed on injured reserve after making two starts. Prior to the next season, he was traded to the Colts, where he started 15 games. He has made 37 starts and owns a career record of 14-23.
The Browns believe they can eventually be true AFC contenders, so in the coming weeks they must decide whether Brissett can guide the offense well enough to keep them in the playoff race until Watson can return Dec. 4. If the Browns feel the need to shop externally, Garoppolo is the most likely option.
Garoppolo has been medically cleared following March shoulder surgery, but he has only been working out on his own at the 49ers’ facility after they decided to go with second-year quarterback Trey Lance as their starter. Garoppolo is under contract for 2022 at $24.2 million. The 49ers have to trade or cut Garoppolo before the start of the season to avoid that contract becoming fully guaranteed, so it’s almost certain that any team trading for Garoppolo would end up getting the 30-year-old quarterback at a salary less than his current one.
Outside of Garoppolo, there are no immediate fits. Backups with starting experience like Taylor Heinicke (Washington) and Gardner Minshew (Philadelphia) are entering the final year of their respective contracts, but both are the No. 2 option for their current teams. The Commanders drafted Sam Howell in the fifth round in April, so Heinicke could be expendable.
Last year, the Browns added former 49er Nick Mullens as their third quarterback after the round of final cuts. Mullens initially landed on the Browns’ practice squad and ended up making an emergency start for the team in December. Mullens was not retained and is currently with the Raiders.
There’s no indication that the Green Bay Packers have any interest in trading 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love — or that the Browns would be interested in Love. Similarly, there’s no reason to think the Browns would want Sam Darnold from Carolina now that Baker Mayfield is reportedly going to be named the Panthers’ starter.
The Browns could wait for the 49ers to cut Garoppolo and then try to sign him as a free agent. But Garoppolo might not want to sign with a new team in early September knowing full well that the team is planning to change quarterbacks in early December, so a trade would be the only way the Browns could ensure the addition of another experienced quarterback.
As it stands, Brissett and third-stringer Josh Dobbs will likely be on the active roster and recent signing Josh Rosen will likely be released. Still, Stefanski wouldn’t comment on the bottom of the quarterback depth chart other than to say Dobbs and Rosen are competing and that Dobbs is ahead because he’s been with the Browns since the spring.
Maybe the Browns are eyeing another quarterback, or maybe they’ll let Brissett ride it out. For now, we’re left unsure if the Browns quarterback carousel will continue to spin — or if Berry and Stefanski really believe in Brissett.

- Delta Air Lines is the only major US carrier not to invest in Boom Supersonic's Overture jet or an eVTOL aircraft.
- CEO Ed Bastian told Fox Business that he has "a lot more questions than answers still," regarding Overture.
- Travel analyst Henry Harteveldt told Insider Delta may buy the aircraft if it sees they can fit into its business strategy.
Large US carriers like American Airlines and United Airlines are placing bets on the aircraft of the future, like supersonic jets and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, but one carrier has not made any investments just yet.
On Tuesday, American Airlines announced an order for 20 of Boom Supersonic's Overture aircraft, with an option for 40 more. The purchase puts the Texas-based carrier on track to become the largest operator of the ultra-fast plane.
United Airlines is the other US carrier to take interest in the Overture, having placed an order for 15, with an option for 35 more, in June 2021.
Meanwhile, both mainline carriers have also invested in electric aircraft, particularly eVTOLs.
American recently placed a pre-order for 250 of Vertical Aerospace's VX4 flying taxis, while United has deposited $10 million for 100 of Archer Aviation's "Midnight" eVTOLs. United has also invested in Heart Aerospace's ES-19 electric planes.
While American and United are inking agreements with startups promising a new future, Delta Air Lines is the only major US carrier not to invest in either. This may suggest Delta has a different vision for its future fleet, but Henry Harteveldt, travel analyst and president of Atmosphere Research Group, says that may not be the case.
Instead, he told Insider that he gives Delta "credit" for taking their time on making decisions.
"There's an opportunity cost for an airline when they're buying airplanes, and it doesn't matter what type of aircraft because there's only so much money that a carrier has available to invest," he said. "Airlines want to invest wisely to get the best possible return, so I don't see any problem with Delta choosing not to order the Overture or eVTOLs."
There is skepticism about Boom's Overture jet
According to Harteveldt, Delta may very well decide to buy a supersonic plane or an electric aircraft in the future, but they want to ensure the investment fits its business model and network.
"As far as Boom, there is a lot of skepticism within the aviation industry," he said. "Right now, it doesn't have an engine."
Delta CEO Ed Bastian confirmed his skepticism about the jet to Fox Business on Tuesday, saying he "has a lot more questions than answers still."
"Until we are confident that we could actually generate a reliable return from the aircraft, that's not where we're investing," he said.
Delta's Boeing 757-200s may have another 10 to 20 years in them
Harteveldt explained that while Delta does not have orders in for the Overture or eVTOLs, they are making decisions that will keep its current fleet flying longer.
Specifically, the carrier is retrofitting its Boeing 737-800, Boeing 737-900ER, and Boeing 757-200 aircraft with Split Scimitar Winglets made by Seattle-based Aviation Partners Boeing to reduce carbon emissions.
Harteveldt says the inclusion of the 757 is particularly surprising.
"The 757 is an excellent airplane, but it is no longer in production, and there is a lot of curiosity of the future of the aircraft," he said. "But, clearly, the plane is serving an important role for Delta and they have found a way to keep them flying for another 10 to 20 years."
"They may not be the greenest planes, as the engines are not as fuel-efficient as some of the newer generation ones, but Delta is keeping dozens of 757s out of the landfill," Harteveldt continued.
Delta shouldn't buy certain planes just because its competitors are
It is still possible we will see a Delta order for an eVTOL or Overture in the future, Harteveldt said, saying if Delta sees either fit its business strategy, it will order it. But, he emphasized the carrier "shouldn't feel compelled to order the plane just because other airlines are doing so."
What matters for Delta is that it finds the aircraft that makes sense for it from a business standpoint, from a route and network standpoint, and if it makes money for the company and attracts more customers." he said. "The race is just starting." | https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-only-major-us-carrier-not-order-supersonic-or-evtol-2022-8 | 2022-08-20T11:19:23Z | https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-only-major-us-carrier-not-order-supersonic-or-evtol-2022-8 | true | 2 |
This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series.
Next Saturday is the so-called Week 0 of college football. The matchups aren't all that exciting, but I know some of you will have divided interest when the action begins on the gridiron. This Saturday, it's all about MLB with eight evening games on the DFS slate. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m. EDT. Here are my recommendations.
Pitching
Joe Musgrove, SD vs. WAS ($42): The move to San Diego has really paid off for Musgrove. He posted a 2.92 ERA at home last season and a 2.87 this year. Washington ranks 26th in runs scored and no longer employ Juan Soto or Josh Bell.
Logan Gilbert, SEA at OAK ($40): Gilbert has compiled a solid sophomore season with a 3.51 ERA. He was going better before a couple recent tough starts against the Yankees. The Athletics aren't as imposing of a matchup as the Bronx Bombers sitting 29th in runs and team OPS.
Dustin May, LAD vs. MIA ($40): Finding a third pitcher for Saturday was tough. May is a bit of a gamble making his first MLB start after Tommy John surgery. The Dodgers boast baseball's best offense and the Marlins are 27th in offense. If May is able to go five innings, I bet he picks up a win. My concern is that he may not make it that long.
Top Targets
Bryan Reynolds ($23) has been red hot of late with a 1.022 OPS the last 21 days to boost home run total to 20. I think he can stay hot as Justin Dunn has pitched 8.1 innings so far this season and already allowed four homers.
In addition to hitting .304, Trea Turner ($20) has produced 18 homers and 20 stolen bases. And since 2020, he's registered a 1.093 OPS versus lefties. Meanwhile, Braxton Garrett has allowed righties to hit .280 against in his career and a 5.12 road ERA.
Bargain Bats
The modern quasi-apathy about batting average benefits a player like Christian Walker ($18), who can trot out there with a .221 but keeps on playing because he's slugged .476 thanks to 29 home runs. Dakota Hudson allows a lot of contact, especially to righties who have hit .299 against this year. He's also only struck out 5.07 batters per nine innings. The chances of Walker making contact Saturday are elevated in this matchup, and we know the kind of damage he can do.
From a non-fantasy perspective, Marcus Semien ($15) has endured a rough season. For DFS folks, his 18 home runs and 19 stolen bases have been quite beneficial. Semien's new home ballpark has not been kind to him, but he has an .814 OPS on the road. On the flip side, Chris Archer has posted a 7.29 ERA across his last five starts.
Stacks to Consider
Cardinals at Diamondbacks (Madison Bumgarner): Nolan Arenado ($22), Tyler O'Neill ($14), Dylan Carlson ($13)
Bumgarner is simply not the pitcher he was as a Giant. This is his best season as a Diamondback, and he still maintains a 4.50 FIP. The southpaw can still handle lefties, but right-handed batters have gone .285 against this year and .274 since he joined Arizona's rotation. The Cardinals offer plenty of righties to handle the veteran pitcher.
Arenado's overall slash line is .299/.363/.560, but he's recorded a 1.012 OPS against lefties and a .904 since 2020. O'Neill has seven homers and eight stolen bases and his struggles at home aren't an issue in this matchup. He also boasts an .874 OPS versus lefties the last three seasons. Carlson is a switch hitter, but he prefers to face southpaws with an .894 OPS against them the last couple campaigns.
Giants at Rockies (Ryan Feltner): Wilmer Flores ($20), Brandon Belt ($15), Joc Pederson ($13)
Another day at Coors Field, another stack to take advantage. In his career, Feltner has a 6.95 ERA. He's also allowed 1.89 home runs per nine innings. And at home, he's unsurprisingly given up 2.4 home runs. Righties hit him, lefties hit him.
Over the last three weeks, Flores has a .911 OPS. He's a career .266 hitter and has racked up 16 home runs. Since 2020, Belt has posted a .930 OPS against righties. He's struggled on the road this year, but this is Coors Field. And just last season, he produced a 1.024 OPS in away games. Speaking of power, Pederson has 18 home runs. He also lists a .502 slugging percentage against righties and a .507 slugging mark on the road.
Padres vs. Nationals (Josiah Gray): Manny Machado ($22), Brandon Drury ($15) Jake Cronenworth ($13)
Gray has posted a 5.71 career FIP. His biggest problem? Keeping the ball in the park having allowed 2.38 home runs per nine innings since reaching the majors. As such, I wanted some power potential in this stack.
Machado offers plenty of pop with 22 home runs and a .536 slugging percentage. And since 2020, he's slugged .567 at Petco Park. Drury has shown the most power of his career slugging .502 and hitting 23 homers, with three of those since joining the Padres. Cronenworth went deep 21 times last year and has 12 this year. Since 2020, he's managed an .818 OPS versus righties and a .797 home OPS. | https://www.rotowire.com/baseball/article/yahoo-dfs-baseball-saturday-picks-65281 | 2022-08-20T11:45:19Z | https://www.rotowire.com/baseball/article/yahoo-dfs-baseball-saturday-picks-65281 | false | 1 |

Reading v Middlesbrough: ‘A cruel game’ for Boro as Chris Wilder asks for time
TAKING into account last season, Chris Wilder’s Middlesbrough have gone six matches in all competitions without a victory.
Such a winless streak was largely conspicuous by its absence in his time at Sheffield United, certainly in the second-tier, but for the Boro chief, there are significant mitigating factors.
With Boro’s squad restructuring far from complete, a better time to judge the Teessiders would be mid-autumn as opposed to late summer.
Wilder himself is not panicking, but being the competitor he is, he does not like losing and winning became a habit for much of his successful time at Bramall Lane, which he wants to replicate.
Most Popular
On his side’s tally of three points from a possible 12 thus far, Wilder said: “I get that everyone looks at the points tally and league positions. If we’re still in this position after 15-20 league positions, then of course, rightly so, people have to ask the question.
“But not this early, and especially not how we’re playing. The players are in a good place and they understand I’m their biggest critic as well as their biggest supporter. I’m supporting them at the moment.
“And then with the addition of the players that we’re looking to bring in, are we going to be better for that? Certainly, because it raises the standard, better performances, better depth in the squad, more options off the bench and then I’m sure everything will quickly change. At the moment, this is quite a cruel game and the margins are really fine.”
Boro are closing in on completing a loan move for Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz and it is likely to be signed off early next week.
Boro face a Royals side who ended Blackburn’s 100 per cent winning start on Wednesday evening with an outstanding 3-0 triumph. | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/middlesbrough-fc/reading-v-middlesbrough-a-cruel-game-for-boro-as-chris-wilder-asks-for-time-3813259 | 2022-08-20T11:52:56Z | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/middlesbrough-fc/reading-v-middlesbrough-a-cruel-game-for-boro-as-chris-wilder-asks-for-time-3813259 | true | 1 |

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has warned airlines that his department could draft new rules around passenger rights if the carriers don’t give more help to travelers trapped by flight cancellations and delays.
Buttigieg is asking airline CEOs to, at a minimum, provide lodging for passengers stranded overnight at an airport and give out meal vouchers for delays of three hours or longer when the disruption is caused by something in the airline’s control.
The Transportation Department on Friday released a copy of the letters, which it said were sent to CEOs of 10 U.S. airlines including the major ones, their regional affiliates, and budget carriers.
A spokeswoman for Airlines for America, a trade group whose members include American, United, Delta and Southwest, said airlines “strive to provide the highest level of customer service.” She said the airlines are committed to overcoming challenges including a tight labor market.
Buttigieg’s agency recently proposed rules around refunds for passengers whose flights are canceled or rescheduled. He told the CEOs the department is considering additional rules “that would further expand the rights of airline passengers who experience disruptions.”
Buttigieg has been sparring with the airlines since late spring over high numbers of canceled and delayed flights. In his latest salvo, he told airline CEOs he appreciates that airlines have stepped up hiring and trimmed schedules to better match the number of flights they can handle.
“Still, the level of disruption Americans have experienced this summer is unacceptable,” he wrote.
The head of another airline trade group took issue with Buttigieg’s praise of schedule cuts. Faye Malarkey Black, president of the Regional Airline Association, said those cutbacks are being driven by a pilot shortage and are especially harmful to people who use smaller airports.
“There is a lot of responsibility to go around in this crisis and solving (the pilot shortage) means solving it for the long term, not just trimming back capacity until the only people with air service are those traveling between the large urban centers,” Black said.
So far this year, airlines have canceled about 146,000 flights, or 2.6%, and nearly 1.3 million flights have been delayed, according to tracking service FlightAware. The rate of cancellations is up about one-third from the same period in 2019, before the pandemic, and the rate of delays is up nearly one-fourth.
Federal officials have blamed many of the disruptions on understaffing at airlines, which encouraged employees to quit after the pandemic started. The airlines have countered by blaming staffing problems at the Federal Aviation Administration, which hires air traffic controllers. | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/business/ap-business/buttigieg-warns-airlines-to-help-travelers-or-face-new-rules/ | 2022-08-20T12:13:41Z | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/business/ap-business/buttigieg-warns-airlines-to-help-travelers-or-face-new-rules/ | true | 36 |

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on August 20 announced the commissioning of a new green hydrogen plant in Gujarat's Hazira, adding that its daily output will be 45 kg.
The plant, set up at L&T's AM Naik Heavy Engineering Complex in Hazira, was inaugurated by Shrikant Madhav Vaidya, the chairman of Indian Oil Corporation Limited.
The plant is spread across 3,000 square metres, and the first phase of the project has been "installed, tested, and commissioned", L&T said in a press release.
"The scope involves the generation of high purity green hydrogen (99.99 percent) and oxygen, and their captive consumption in the manufacturing shops. A blend of 15 percent hydrogen with natural gas will be used as a fuel, and oxygen will supplement the existing usage in cutting and welding applications," it added.
The plant is designed for an electrolyser capacity of 800 kW comprising both alkaline (380 kW) and PEM (420 kW) technologies and will be powered by a rooftop solar plant of 990kW peak DC capacity and a 500kWh battery energy storage system (BESS), the company further said.

As part of the first phase of the project, 380 kW alkaline electrolyser has been installed, while the 420 kW PEM electrolyser along with solar plant capacity augmentation to 1.6 MW peak DC, will be part of future expansion, it added.
"The plant will produce 45 kg of green hydrogen daily, which will be used for captive consumption in the company’s Hazira manufacturing complex," L&T noted.
L&T whole-time director Subramanian Sarma said the company's green hydrogen programme is in line with the commitment to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. "We believe that green hydrogen is a promising alternative fuel, and this plant is a testimony that we are committed to create a greener tomorrow," he said.
L&T has, notably, pledged to achieve water neutrality by 2035 and carbon neutrality by 2040. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/l-daily-output-to-be-45kg-9061231.html | 2022-08-20T12:16:10Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/l-daily-output-to-be-45kg-9061231.html | false | 2 |
Even a 'limited' nuclear war would starve millions of people, new study reveals
Even a relatively small nuclear war would create a worldwide food crisis lasting at least a decade in which hundreds of millions would starve, according to our new modeling published in Nature Food.
In a nuclear war, bombs dropped on cities and industrial areas would start firestorms, injecting large amounts of soot into the upper atmosphere. This soot would spread globally and rapidly cool the planet.
Although the war might only last days or weeks, the impacts on Earth's climate could persist for more than ten years. We used advanced climate and food production models to explore what this would mean for the world's food supply.
Catastrophic scenarios
Conflicts between nuclear-armed powers are an ongoing concern in multiple parts of the world. If one of these conflicts escalated to nuclear war, how would it affect the world's food supply? And how would the impacts on global food production and trade scale with the size of such a war?
To try to answer these questions, we used simulations of the global climate coupled with models of major crops, fisheries and livestock production. These simulations let us assess the impacts of nuclear war on global food supply for 15 years after the conflict.
We simulated six different war scenarios, because the amount of soot injected into the upper atmosphere would depend on the number of weapons used.
The smallest war in our scenarios was a "limited" conflict between India and Pakistan, involving 100 Hiroshima-sized weapons (less than 3% of the global nuclear arsenal). The largest was a global nuclear holocaust, in which Russia and the United States detonate 90% of the world's nuclear weapons.
The six scenarios injected between 5 million and 150 million tons of soot into the upper atmosphere. For context, the Australian summer bushfires of 2019–20, which burned an area greater than the United Kingdom, injected about one million tons of smoke into the stratosphere.
Although we focused on India and Pakistan for our regional-scale war scenarios, nuclear conflict involving other nations could result in similar amounts of smoke and thus similar climate impacts.
Widespread starvation
Across all scenarios, impacts on the world's climate would be significant for about a decade after a nuclear war. As a consequence, global food production would decline.
Even under the smallest war scenario we considered, sunlight over global crop regions would initially fall by about 10%, and global average temperatures would drop by up to 1–2℃. For a decade or so, this would cancel out all human-induced warming since the Industrial Revolution.
In response, global food production would decrease by 7% in the first five years after a small-scale regional nuclear war. Although this sounds minor, a 7% fall is almost double the largest recorded drop in food production since records began in 1961. As a result, more than 250 million people would be without food two years after the war.
Unsurprisingly, a global nuclear war would be a civilization-level threat, leaving over five billion people starving.
In this scenario, average global temperatures would fall by 10–15℃ for the first five years after the war, while sunlight would crash by between 50–80% and rainfall over crop regions would drop by over 50%. As a result, global food production from land and sea would fall to less than 20% of pre-war levels and take over a decade to recover.
No such thing as a limited nuclear war
Behavioral change could avert some starvation after a relatively small nuclear war, but only regionally. We found that reducing household food waste and diverting feed from livestock to humans would lessen a regional nuclear war's effect on food supply, but only in major food-exporting countries such as Russia, the United States and Australia.
Although great improvements have been made in recent decades, global food distribution remains a major challenge. Despite present-day food production being more than sufficient to nourish the world's population, over 700 million people suffered from undernutrition worldwide in 2020.
In a post-nuclear-war world, we expect global food distribution would cease entirely for several years, as exporting countries suspend trade and focus on feeding their own populations. This would make war-induced shortages even worse in food-importing countries, especially in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
Our results point to a stark and clear conclusion: there is no such thing as a limited nuclear war, where impacts are confined to warring countries.
Our findings provide further support for the 1985 statement by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, reaffirmed by the current leaders of China, France, the U.K., Russia and the U.S. this year: "A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought."

TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cato Networks, provider of the world's first SASE platform, introduced today Cato CASB, the first Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) to deliver actionable value in under 60 minutes. Along with the Cloud Application Catalog launched last month, Cato provides the quickest to deliver and easiest to run solution for managing cloud application data risk.
"CASB addresses a critical visibility and control gap created by cloud migration but must be converged into a broad SASE platform to be truly effective across the business," said Shlomo Kramer, co-founder and CEO of Cato Networks, "We've done just that with Cato CASB. By building Cato CASB into the Cato SPACE engine, it can leverage the global footprint, rich context, cloud scalability, and self-healing and self-maintenance underpinning the Cato SASE Cloud. Cato CASB is just the latest example of high impact, high value capabilities that are effortless to deploy and use."
SASE: The Cato Difference
With Cato CASB, Cato brings the benefits of a true SASE platform to the challenge of managing cloud application risk. Legacy, stand-alone CASB solutions require extensive planning and deployment times that can take several months. By contrast, Cato CASB is instantly available offering full visibility and control of cloud application access -immediately.
As part of Cato SASE Cloud, Cato CASB is available worldwide from 70+ locations for every site or user accessing any cloud application. This broad footprint enables optimized enforcement of corporate policies on all cloud access without introducing high latency, even when accessing cloud applications across geographical regions. Legacy CASB solutions coverage vary by location or available capabilities.
And Cato CASB taps the full power of Cato's multi-layer threat defense. Cloud-based file access is inspected by Cato advanced anti-malware and IPS engines. Access control to locations and resources are limited through Cato NGFW and SWG. With legacy CASB, all of those components would be additional, requiring integration and deployment.
The Four Steps to Managing Cloud Application Risk
More specifically, with today's announcement, Cato addresses all four stages for managing cloud application data risk -- visibility, assessment, enforcement, and protection.
Visibility: The New Shadow IT Dashboard
Cato is introducing a new Shadow IT dashboard that provides a bird's eye view of aggregate SaaS usage including number of total and high-risk applications, list of the highest risk applications, number of users accessing them, as well as distribution by risk.
Assessment: The Cato Application Credibility Engine (ACE)
Having identified unauthorized applications, IT leaders must assess their risk before deciding if they should be blocked, controlled, or allowed. Cato has built a unique Application Credibility Engine (ACE) which automates data collection from several sources to enable a quick and accurate assessment of each application. Three vectors are aggregated together for a comprehensive analysis – general company information, compliance features, and security capabilities.
Machine learning algorithms operating against Cato's massive data lake of flow metadata analyzing the actual features applications exhibit on the network. Currently, Cato regulatory compliance verification includes HIPAA, PCI, and SOC 1-3. Security feature verification includes MFA, encryption of data at rest, and SSO.
Enforcement: Cato CASB Rules Define Access Policies
Having discovered unauthorized applications on their networks and been able to assess their risk, IT leaders must now decide how they want to respond. With Cato CASB, they gain fine-grained access over the application. The rules allow them to define the matching criteria, the specified action to be taken in case the rule applies, the associated severity level, and whether an alert or event should be generated.
Protection: Cato Detects and Blocks Threats and Breaches
The last stage is ensuring the protection of SaaS usage. Cato's SASE achieves this through the convergence of its security tools. All SaaS traffic is processed by multiple security tools -- NGFW, SWG, IPS, and NGAM. Together, these tools provide comprehensive protection from a wide array of threats.

Brenna Brom has many jobs, her biggest one being a stay-at-home mom to her one-and-a-half-year-old son, Oliver.
She’s also the proud owner of the art business It’s a Whimsical Life, where she creates colorful acrylic paintings that she then turns into prints. But that’s not all.
“I also work downtown Rochester at Threshold Arts a couple days a week, and as a group fitness instructor at The Rochester Athletic Club. High intensity water aerobics is my specialty.” Brenna says that while life often feels hectic, “it all keeps things very interesting.”
She loves to be outside to include taking part in activities like hiking, biking, gardening, skiing/snowboarding, plus more. Lastly, she adds, “I am obsessed with house plants and elephants. You can find them all over our house.”
How would you describe your style?
ADVERTISEMENT
Whimsical and ranging from simple and athletic to bold and colorful.
In what ways do you express yourself creatively through your style, and how is your role as an artist reflected in how you dress?
I love expressing myself through my style and think of it as a piece of art. Sometimes it’s with a fun pair of earrings, different hair style, bold top, vintage dress, or patterned pair of pants, and sometimes it's all of the above.
What does a typical day of attire look like for you?
It ranges and depends on what role I'll be playing that day – comfortable mama, fitness/water aerobics instructor, outdoor adventurer, or whimsical artist. If I’m not working or going out to a brewery/day on the town, I usually resort to a comfy pair of sweats or shorts and pair it with a comfy T-shirt or sweatshirt.
Items you find yourself gravitating to most?
Bold statement earrings made by local artists, a good hat (beanie, backwards baseball, sun hat) or hair accessory, and a funky pair of glasses/sunglasses. For mom-ing/outdoor play/fitness convenience, I usually gravitate towards a good pair of sweats/shorts and a T-shirt or sweater/sweatshirt.
What trends are you seeing now that you particularly like or dislike?
ADVERTISEMENT
I love overalls, fanny packs, flowy dresses and skirts, and dislike crop tops, platform shoes and clothing with weirdly placed holes.
Thoughts on shopping second-hand?
Love it. I'd say about half of my clothing I've found shopping second-hand or vintage. Each piece is usually super unique and stands out from the norm.
Best clothing purchase you’ve ever made and what made it so great?
My gardening/painting overalls from Duluth Trading Company are the best. They are colorful and covered in vegetables. So comfy and water resistant. I also love my yellow Chaco sandals, Timberland hiking boots, Asics tennis shoes and Minnetonka moccasins. (All shoe staples in my opinion.)
Best compliment ever received?
I get a lot of compliments when I'm doing my art markets. I love when people tell me that my clothing style resembles my art style.
What's on your “want” list in terms of clothing/shoe purchases?
ADVERTISEMENT
I am always on the search for a good pair of overalls or vintage dresses/skirts, and I need a new pair of tennis shoes and hiking sandals.
Fill in the blank: I feel best when I am wearing:
My gardening/painting overalls, a high-waisted pair of jeans/sweats with an over-sized shirt/sweater or a flowy summer dress.

A Westchester mom is demanding justice for her son — so she’s suing the gangbanger who got a measly five-and-a-half years behind bars for killing him.
Heartbroken mom Paula Brown hopes the suit will bring attention — and possibly spark a probe into her son’s case.
“We feel like we did not get any justice,” said Brown, 64, whose son Dean Daniels was gunned down in 2014 by a drug selling Mount Vernon gang known as The Goonies.
Goonies member Ernest Webb was the triggerman who took out Daniels, 30, according to court records.
But he got a paltry 66 month sentence for his role in the murder.
Daniels had allegedly carjacked Webb two days before the fatal shooting, which Webb carried out, prosecutors contended, at the behest of fellow gangbangers Raheem Jones and Markel Overton.
But while Jones, 33, and Overton, 32, got lengthy, 20-plus year sentences for their role in Daniels’ death, Webb is expected to walk out of jail next year — which has prompted the victim’s mom to sue Webb in Manhattan Federal Court, and demand an investigation.
Brown claims prosecutors failed to keep her abreast of Webb’s case, and charged in her court filing that “the court and the US Attorney’s office was more interested in getting a conviction of the driver Markel Overton and passenger Raheem Jones than to prosecute the actual shooter, Ernest Webb.”
“… I truly believe if my family were wealthy or Dean was a white man, there would have been a different ending to this story,” the mom, who is black, wrote in the legal papers, which she filed without a lawyer.
She’s pushing for an investigation, insisting federal prosecutors didn’t keep her abreast of Webb’s case as they did with the other defendants. Brown also wonders why Webb got such a short jail sentence when a probation report suggested he receive 10 years behind bars.
“One day after a procedural adjournment, I went to court only to find out Ernest Webb had pled guilty and was cooperating with the US Attorney’s office,” Brown wrote in court papers, adding, “I was rocked to my core when I heard this defendant was sentenced to 66 months for the murder of my son. It was especially insulting for me and my family to sit there and hear US Attorney Aiden Chow, ask for leniency for this murderer.”
She recalled how Judge Nelson Roman admonished Webb, a father of two, “and told him how lucky he was to get this sentence and he better not do anything to mess this up or he was going to come back and go to jail,” mentioning the man’s two daughters.
“He never once said to my grandson, ‘My condolences,'” she said. “All I could do was just get up and walk out.”
The US Attorney’s office declined comment. An attorney for Webb did not respond to a message. | https://nypost.com/2022/08/20/paula-brown-suing-her-sons-killer-ernest-webb/ | 2022-08-20T12:58:20Z | https://nypost.com/2022/08/20/paula-brown-suing-her-sons-killer-ernest-webb/ | false | 1 |

Cesc Fabregas heaps praise on Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and compares his playmaking to Barcelona legend Dani Alves after the England star shines in the Reds 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace
Cesc Fabregas lauded Trent Alexander-Arnold's playmaking for Liverpool against Crystal Palace on Monday, comparing the right-back's passing skill to that of Barcelona legend Dani Alves.
The England full-back put in an impressive display as the Reds fought back with ten men to draw 1-1 at Anfield, after new star Darwin Nunez was sent off for headbutting Eagles defender Joachim Andersen.
During the match, former Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona playmaker Fabregas took to social media to heap praise on the 23-year-old, after being blown away by his passing range.
In reference to Alexander-Arnold, the ex-Spain international wrote on Twitter: 'Haven’t seen a full back with this range of passing since Dani Alves.'
The Liverpool star pestered Palace in the first-half and set up a handful of big chances, at one stage delivering a pinpoint pass on to the head of Mohamed Salah, who could only nod the ball directly into the hands of Vicente Guaita.
Following Nunez's brainless red card, Jurgen Klopp brought on Joe Gomez and gifted Alexander-Arnold the licence to roam forward into the midfield, where he continued to cause problems for Palace.
Fabregas and Alves spent three years together at the Nou Camp between 2011 and 2014, at a time in which the Brazilian was considered on of the best right-backs in the world.
The 39-year-old, who left the Catalan club to join Mexican side UNAM Pumas earlier this summer, notched 105 assists for Barcelona in 407 appearances, regularly combining with Argentina superstar Lionel Messi on the right flank.
Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold has already racked up 62 assists in 229 appearances at Liverpool. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2707753517612/cesc-fabregas-heaps-praise-on-liverpool-s-trent-alexander-arnold-and-compares-his-playmaking-to-barcelona-legend-dani-alves-after-the-england-star-shines-in-the-reds-1-1-draw-with-crystal-palace | 2022-08-20T13:03:23Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2707753517612/cesc-fabregas-heaps-praise-on-liverpool-s-trent-alexander-arnold-and-compares-his-playmaking-to-barcelona-legend-dani-alves-after-the-england-star-shines-in-the-reds-1-1-draw-with-crystal-palace | true | 3 |

B.C. still undecided on annual allowable rent increase for 2023, but commits to below inflation
With inflation at 8 per cent, renters likely to see significant increase for new year
The province says it's still working to determine how much landlords can raise rents in 2023, but is committing to it being below the rate of inflation.
In late June, the province said an announcement about the increase would be made in July. At the time, David Eby, who was then the minister responsible for housing, told CBC News the increase would need to be balanced between not making life more unaffordable for renters, while supporting landlords in maintaining properties.
The ministry, now under Murray Rankin — with Eby running to become the next leader of the B.C. NDP and premier, said Friday it is still working out what the increase will be and said it will not have a firm number for several weeks.
In B.C. landlords are allowed to increase rents only once a year and must give tenants three months notice as to what their annual rent increase will be.
It is determined by the 12-month average per cent change in the all-items Consumer Price Index for B.C. over the year, ending in July.
That number, released by Statistics Canada this week, is eight per cent in B.C.
"Now that that data has been released by Statistics Canada, government is finalizing what the exact percentage will be for the rent cap, but it will be below the rate of inflation," Rankin said in a news release.
Even if the B.C. government determines the allowable increase to be significantly under the rate of inflation, it still will most likely represent a large increase for renters compared to the past five years.
In 2017 the allowable increase was 3.7 per cent, in 2018 it was four per cent, before dropping to 2.5 per cent in 2019, 2.6 per cent in 2020, zero in 2021 due to the pandemic and 1.5 per cent in 2022.
The B.C. NDP previously capped rent increases to inflation by eliminating an automatic two per cent rent increase on top of inflation.
Balancing act
Rankin says his government realizes residents are seeing some of the highest levels of inflation in decades and finding an appropriate rent increase for 2023 is a balancing act.
"As many renters are barely hanging on and cannot afford a change in their rent at current rates of inflation, we will be capping the annual allowable rent increase for 2023 below the rate of inflation," he said.
"The decision will aim to support both tenants' right to find safe, secure, and affordable housing with landlords' need to maintain their property so it can continue to provide rental housing for years to come." | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/allowable-rent-increase-bc-2023-not-yet-determined-under-inflation-1.6557145?cmp=rss | 2022-08-20T13:10:34Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/allowable-rent-increase-bc-2023-not-yet-determined-under-inflation-1.6557145?cmp=rss | true | 1 |
