First period: Early signs, management and all you need to know
The onset of female puberty is marked by breast budding, pubic hair development, growth spurt, and finally, menarche or first menstrual period
The onset of female puberty is marked by breast budding, pubic hair development, growth spurt, and finally, menarche or first menstrual period. As the menstrual cycle begins, there is an increase in estrogen levels. This thickens the lining of the uterus. This thickened lining supports a fertilised egg that develops into a pregnancy. If there is no fertilised egg, the body breaks the lining down and pushes it out of the uterus. This leads to bleeding, i.e. menstrual period.
Knowing the signs of a first period can help young females and their caregivers to be mentally and physically prepared for it. For most of the people, the periods begin between the ages of 12 and 13. However, it’s normal if the periods begin a little early or late. Several days before the first period, some females may witness spotting in their undergarment or abdominal cramps. Some may also witness more acne on skin.
Some of the people experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in the days leading up to their period.
Here are the signs to look out for:
- Acne
- Abdominal bloating
- Back pain
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Experiencing fatigue
- Being over emotional or irritable
- Food cravings, especially sweets
- Clear vaginal discharge
What should you do?
Use an absorbent: When it happens, one should try to find a way to absorb the blood. You may ask a friend or family member for a sanitary napkin or tampon.
In case both of them are not available, try using toilet paper or a clean washcloth, around the crotch area of the underwear.
Prepare a period kit: It may be helpful to prepare a period kit before the arrival of your first period. This will help you feel prepared.
This period kit may include:
- An extra pair of underwear
- A variety of tampons and sanitary napkins
- Baby wipes to clean leakages
After your first period, periods may be irregular,but over time, however, they tend to become more regular.

An exquisite 13th century Chola-era bronze idol of dancing Sambandar - Shaivaite poet-saint - that went missing from the Nadanapureshwarar Sivan temple, Thandanthottam, in Tamil Nadu's Thanjavur district, was found at the Christie's Auction house, US, the State's Idol Wing CID claimed on Saturday.
The beautifully etched idol of Sambandar dancing on a lotus with his left leg raised and his left hand stretched, is seen clad in waistband with bells.
It is adorned with jewellery decorating his ankles, arms, chest, neck and ears. His almond-shaped eyes, a tall conical headdress adorning his head and supported by a floral mandala, with a smooth dusky patina overall, brings out the sheer mastery of the craftsman.
This is the second idol traced to the US after an idol of Goddess Parvathi from the same Thandanthottam temple was traced to the country, recently, the police said.
Following a complaint from K Vasu in 2019, that 5 idols: Sambandar, Krishna kalinga-narthana, Ayyanar, Agasthiyar and Parvati idol of Nadanapureshwarar Sivan temple, were stolen in May 1971, the idol Wing CID registered a case and expedited the investigation.
According to the Idol Wing police, Inspector Indira traced the missing dancing Sambandar idol to be on display on the website of Christie's Auction house.
Experts confirmed the findings of the wing indicating that the burgled idol of Sambandar was purchased by Christies.com USA which got accessed in their records, and was later sold.
The idol wing has now sent a letter requesting Christie's to return the idol. "The wing has taken steps to bring Sambandar idol to India by proving the ownership through documents," a release said.
Once retrieved, the idol would be restored to the Nadanapureshwarar Sivan temple, the idol wing said.

As I pass along a row of mannequins, the sharply tailored, pale blue cotton dashiki stops me in my tracks. Based on a long-sleeved open-necked, centuries old tribal costume, the garment has a sash draped gently from one shoulder to the other like a Roman toga.
The dashiki, part of the Intsinzi Collection from Rwandan design studio Moshions, first appeared on a catwalk in Kigali five years ago. Its graceful cut and clean lines struck me as youthful, elegant and yet deeply traditional. It would be equally at home in an urban or rural environment on a handful of continents.
Now it is part of a visually stunning exhibition at London's Victoria and Albert Museum entitled "Africa Fashion."
The two-level exhibition looks like a roundhouse inside one of the museum's rotundas and includes fashion pieces that range from eye-catching costumes and gowns to ordinary workday dresses. It makes the case that any list of global fashion powerhouses should include African designers — that fashion is not solely the purview of European design houses like Coco Chanel, Christian Dior or Yves Saint-Laurent.
The museum is also making amends for failures in its own collecting and curating practices that have have left vast gaps in its previous offerings around African culture and design.
In an irony of history, the museum is named for a monarch and her consort who presided over the longest expansion of the British Empire. The end of that colonial era in Africa brought not only sweeping political changes but a flowering of creativity in music, art — and fashion.
It is the renaissance and subsequent evolution of the continent's couture that the exhibition "Africa Fashion" seeks to assess and amplify.
Exhibit curator Christine Checinska herself worked for many years as a designer at several major British fashion labels before pursuing a Ph.D. in cultural studies at Goldsmiths' College in the University of London, with her thesis focused on the impact of Caribbean creole culture on British male dress. Ever since, she says, she has sought to explore the relationships between race, culture and cloth.
Checinska has been tasked with expanding the Victoria and Albert museum's permanent collection of African and African diaspora textiles and fashion.
"Across the board, there is recognition that we need to almost have a broader sense of — a broader vocabulary when we're curating," she told NPR, "to incorporate many of the different cultures that perhaps have been missing in the past and to recognize and revisit our own colonial history."
She hopes the show manages "to inspire and to encourage" visitors from all backgrounds but also to offer a glimpse of what she describes as "the genius of African creativity that all too often has been left out."
Below are a sampling of garments from the exhibition that she thinks exemplify African fashion itself and best represent the intention behind the show, which runs through mid-April 2023.
Chris Seydou brings flair — and mud — into haute couture
Seydou's stunning orange checkered suit and wide brimmed hat combination on display are emblematic of the Malian designer's ability to marry contemporary Western tailoring with African materials. Seydou lived in Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast before moving to Paris, where he worked for Yves Saint-Laurent in the 1970s before returning to West Africa to open his own atelier and launch his own line. He often used traditional patterned cloth like Mali's "bògòlanfini" — dyed with fermented mud — and not only marketed his designs across the region but further afield in Europe and the United States. He died in 1994.
IB Kamara, a Sierra Leone-born and London-based stylist who is now editor-in-chief of the magazine Dazed, stepped behind the lens to take three soulful black-and-white portraits of Seydou's clothes on a contemporary model. Kamara has long championed what curator Checinska calls "African heritage fashion." The intention of this Seydou display, Checinska says, is to mark the museum's own conscious celebration of African fashion through a refreshed collecting and curating strategy.
Bubu Ogisi marries fashion and politics
This Nigerian designer does not shy away from political statements in her works. For instance, she incorporates raffia from the Democratic Republic of Congo in this costume on the right to highlight Belgian exploitation in its former colony, where traditional weaving and manufacturing techniques were curtailed to service the foreign desire for products like rubber and ivory.
"Her work is research-based," Checinska explains. "She's sort of 'decolonizing her own mind' – and those are her words – through the deconstruction technique that she uses in her clothes," reimagining traditional styles and reinvigorating ancient materials commonly used in the pre-colonial era.
The curator says that from a purely design point of view she wants to include these two adjacent outfits in her selection for NPR. The one on the right is "exquisite," she says. "The proportion of the long jacket against the shift dress underneath, it's just wonderful fashion." On the blue dress on the left, meanwhile, Checinska highlighted elements drawn from a Nigerian masquerade tradition known as Egungun, pointing to the rows of multi-colored tassels attached to the front of the dark blue dress that create the kind of kaleidoscope effect found on the costumes worn by individuals in a community who act out the role of departed ancestors during ceremonies — a practice that continues in parts of West Africa and diasporas in the Caribbean and Brazil.
Imane Ayissi is a bold Cameroonian trailblazer in Paris
Ayissi is the first Black designer from sub-Saharan African to be included in the annual calendar of haute couture fashion shows, the founder of an eponymous Paris studio that melds traditional artisanal techniques from African countries – including Cameroon, Nigeria and Ghana – with cuts and designs that garnered critical acclaim from Milan to New York. A former ballet dancer and model who once graced catwalks for fashion giants like Givenchy and Valentino, he has sought to encourage an industry in his native Cameroon that produces various types of local textiles, like the raffia derived from palm leaves seen in this bold, backless pink design that wraps around the wearer.
In an interview with NPR, Ayissi emphasized how important local fashion is in Africa, that he wants it to become "a force that functions properly" on the international stage and that the exhibition would help to "educate" people about the continent.
A luxurious combo of past and present from Kofi Ansah
The Ghanaian designer studied at the Chelsea Art School in the U.K. before returning to his homeland, designing clothes with an emphasis on "luxury" as well as "exacting standards and attention to detail," Checinska says. His glittering jacket and shorts set with blue and white floral trim atop delicate buckled shoes (second from the left in the photo below) were first displayed at the Ivory Coast's embassy in London in the late 1980s and encapsulated an effort by the designer to bring the past — the printed fabrics, the ruffled neckline — with him into the new, the curator says, with the sequins and female shorts.
Throughout his career Ansah, who died in 2014, worked to mentor young talent back in Ghana, famously instructing them that, " 'West is not always best, inspiration is all around you,' " Checinska explains, quoting a phrase Ansah used. "There's a sense in which that feels part and parcel of what this show is, also."

NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Unity Software Inc. (NYSE: U) between March 5, 2021 and May 10, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important September 6, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Unity securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Unity class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7381 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 6, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) deficiencies in Unity's product platform reduced the accuracy of the Company's machine learning technology; (2) the foregoing was likely to have a material negative impact on Unity's revenues; (3) accordingly, Unity had overstated its commercial and/or financial prospects for 2022; (4) as a result, Unity was likely to have to reduce its fiscal 2022 guidance; and (5) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Unity class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7381 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

A SHOPPER was left mortified after buying a jumper from Shein without noticing it had a very glaring spelling mistake on the front.
TikTok user Isabella Robshaw uploaded a video showing how she thought her jumper had said the word “California” on the front.
However, when the green Shein jumper arrived, she noticed that it actually read “Caifornia”.
Shockingly, it wasn’t the only item that had a spelling mistake on it from her online order.
She had also ordered a brown jumper that at first glance read “Yellowstone National Park.”
In reality, it actually had the text “Nark” instead of “Park.”
On her @isabellarobshaw account she showed how the online photos did include the spelling mistakes too, so what she ordered was the same as what arrived.
However, it didn’t excuse the fact there were spelling mistakes in the first place.
The bashful shopper added in the caption: “It’s already embarrassing enough wearing locations I’ve never even been to, let alone them being spelt wrong.”
Her video has racked up a staggering 118,000 likes, and many people were shocked.
Most read in Fabulous
One said: “OH NO LET ME CHECK MINE RIGHT NOW.”
Another joked: “I love taking my dog to the rark.”
And a third mused: “Probably for copyright reasons.”
Chinese online fashion retailer Shein was founded in 2008 and is known for its budget prices.
Its ads are unavoidable on social media, and it has celeb ambassadors that include Belle Hassan and Lucie Donlan.
Towie’s Amber Turner has her own collection with the company.
The store sells up to 30,000 items a DAY and has global sales estimated at £11billion. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/9333648/mortified-ordering-jumper-glaring-spelling-mistake/ | 2022-08-20T13:42:35Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/9333648/mortified-ordering-jumper-glaring-spelling-mistake/ | false | 4 |

Advanced strapping system secures grain covers, provides long-lasting protection against wind and weather
Raven Industries, Inc. (the Company) announced today that Raven Engineered Films has introduced a powerful addition to its lineup of grain cover solutions: the DuraCinch™ Strapping System. As part of the Company's total system approach to grain cover solutions, the patent pending DuraCinch Strapping System is designed to secure grain covers in extreme elements, providing greater and longer-lasting protection for major grain pile storage.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220201005152/en/

Custom-fabricated to fit piles of any shape and size, the patent pending DuraCinch Strapping System is sewn directly onto the company's high-quality grain cover solutions — strengthening the cover's overall performance and resulting in enhanced protection against wind and weather. Because the straps are fully attached to the cover, the system eliminates zippering holes caused by traditional, pocketed strapping systems.
"When you have a large grain pile, the last thing you want is for it to go to waste because it was exposed to oxygen and moisture," said Tim Hart, Director of Sales for Raven Engineered Films. "We're excited to make the DuraCinch Strapping System available to our customers and give them added peace of mind that their grain storage systems are fully equipped to handle severe weather conditions and provide continuous protection for these valuable assets."
"We tested the DuraCinch Strapping System this season on one of our three bunkers," said Jon Hjetland, Cargill. "Nebraska was hit at 70+ MPH with a wind event, and the DuraCinch pile was the only one that remained fully covered."
Raven Engineered Films creates custom fit covers for a wide range of agriculture applications, including sugar beet pile covers, salt pile covers and any other applications requiring quality customized covers to protect the pile from exposure to the elements.
DuraCinch Strapping Systems are available for purchase and immediate manufacturing. To learn more or place an order, visit ravenefd.com/duracinch-strapping-system.

ITV Love Island star Laura Anderson has shared some exciting baby news - weeks after she split from her famous boyfriend. Laura and Dane Bowers split just a matter of weeks ago.
But now the islander is celebrating becoming an aunt. Laura has proudly shown off her sister's newborn baby on social media.
On the sweet snap Laura wrote: "Proud of the sis. I'm an aunty." Laura and Dane split earlier this year, with her releasing a statement on Instagram. Writing on her Instagram Stories, Laura said: "Just to let all of my beautiful support on here know that unfortunately Dane and I have decided to separate.
READ MOREStacey Solomon issued blunt two-word warning by ITV Loose Women panel
"Thank you all for your continued support. Sadly we're just not right for each other but I do wish him nothing but love. I will be moving back to the UK as soon as I can.
"Roll on the rest of 2022, let's make it count." Laura and Dane reunited in 2021 - three years after the Scottish beauty dumped him for cheating. She opened up about her relationship last year saying: "Relationships only really ever work out when you both love each other equally, which is something that is actually quite hard to find, and is often down to timing. I was chasing my boyfriend Dane [Bowers, 42] when he didn’t really want a girlfriend. Now it’s the complete reverse – he chases me.
"I met Dane at a pool party while I was living in Dubai in November 2017 and I instantly liked how chilled-out and funny he was. When I said I had to leave, he asked me out for dinner and things went from there. He’s 10 years older than me, but you can get someone who’s 21 and is really mature, and you can get Dane, who, when he was in his late 30s, wasn’t ready for a relationship.
"We were dating for six months when I found out he was seeing someone else. We weren’t in a relationship at that point, and we never said we were exclusive, but I was disappointed, so I confronted him and ended it. It was all very upsetting, and that’s when I applied to go on Love Island. It was just on a whim, but then when I got in against the odds, I took it as a sign I should do it."

DARIEN, Conn., Feb. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ultra Pure, one of the largest bulk alcohol suppliers in the United States, announces a partnership with nwPURE™, a top distiller of premium neutral wheat, corn and rye spirits, for exclusive Canadian Whiskey supply for USA.
Niels van der Kloot, president of Ultra Pure, says, "This is a great partnership. nwPURE™'s long history of quality and distilling experience ties in perfectly with Ultra Pure's extensive distribution network in the United States and abroad."
The partnership between Ultra Pure and nwPURE™, which comes as Canadian Whiskey supplies have become increasingly constrained, will allow Ultra Pure to offer new fill barrels to Ultra Pure's customers using any combination of wheat, corn, rye and malted barley. Ultra Pure will also be offering its customers storage, dumping and blending for their Canadian Whisky new fill needs. "This is a high growth product and now we have a consistent supply partner to satisfy customer demand for premium Canadian Whiskey," says van der Kloot.
"nwPURE™ is strategically located in the heartland of the grain belt in Saskatchewan where we source the highest quality raw materials," says Jason Skinner, nwPURE™ CEO. "The company's state-of-the-art production and blending facility are located on major highway and rail networks. nwPURE™ started as a large grain handling facility, which is still operational today, and expanded into neutral grain spirits production in 2010. The company was founded on the principles of innovation, economies of scale, and leading-edge technology."
Under this partnership, nwPURE™ will distill and store Canadian Whiskey in barrels for Ultra Pure's U.S. customers. Rajneesh Tyaagi, nwPURE's™ VP of Product Development stated, "The partnership is an efficient way to sell product into the United States, and using one exclusive Partner seemed to make the most sense, especially considering Ultra Pure's extensive network of distribution and relationships to some of the top brands in the market."
Founded in 2006, Ultra Pure is located in Darien, Connecticut and is the leading bulk alcohol supplier in the United States. Ultra Pure supplies high quality bulk ethanol & high proof spirits for varying uses and industries. These products include Grain Neutral Spirits, aged and unaged Bourbon and Whiskies, Organic Alcohols, Rum, non-GMO Sugar Cane Alcohol and all specialty denatured Alcohols. Ultra Pure services craft distillers and brand owners, as well as industrial and commercial industries, including Food and Beverage.

OPELIKA —
Summer in the Park, a United Way of Lee County fundraising event hosted by the city of Opelika, will bring a variety of food, activities and special guests to Opelika’s Municipal Park on Aug. 20 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“We hope that Summer in the Park helps raise awareness about all of the great things United Way of Lee County does for our community,” said Leigh Krehling, event coordinator and president of the United Way of Lee County. “Their partner agencies help people in times of crisis, as well as find solutions for everyday challenges.”
Attendees will see the return of the duck race this year, a staple that has entertained both children and adults since it was first implemented in 2019. It will begin at noon.
“I love the duck race at Summer in the Park,” said Tipi Miller, executive director of United Way of Lee County. “It’s a creative [and] fun way to get children involved in the event.”
This year’s main attraction, though, will be “Burgers and Badges”. The cookoff will see Opelika’s fire department and police department battle it out to see who can grill up the best hamburger. The first responders will serve plenty of meals to hungry attendees throughout the event.
“They get highly competitive, and it’s a ton of fun to watch them” Krehling said. Miller added that the burger competition “is really going strong this year.”
Other highlights this year will include a visit from Auburn University mascot Aubie and train rides through the park, which will run from 10 a.m. to noon.
All proceeds from Summer in the Park will benefit United Way of Lee County and the 22 local agencies it serves, which specialize in either health, crisis, education or strengthening families and community. The event also raises awareness for United Way and all it has to offer.
“These funds are very important to the agencies, and most importantly, to the individuals we serve,” Miller said. “Summer in the Park is also a great opportunity for people to learn about the United Way programs and how we can serve the community.
“For example, many people don’t know that we have a 211 program. Through this program, anyone can call 211 to receive information on assistance for social service needs. We receive calls for assistance for topics such as food insecurity, senior adult programs and utility assistance, just to name a few.”
According to Krehling, Summer in the Park has raised about $4,000 in the past. The proceeds from this event are added to a total contribution, and in January, Miller said a group of local volunteers will meet to review the amount requested by each agency and decide how much money each will receive.
“We are lucky to have such a great team at United Way, and I am truly grateful to the employees who give and want to make a difference in Opelika,” Krehling said.
Municipal Park is located on Park Road in Opelika. For more information on Summer in the Park, visit @CityofOpelika on Facebook.

YouTube does not want you to share Shorts on rival social media platforms without taking credit for it, and it becomes apparent with a new update. The video-sharing app has now added watermarks to its short videos to discourage cross-platform sharing on TikTok or Instagram.
Unlike TikTok or Instagram, YouTube has not been adding watermarks to its videos, but that changes today. YouTube has announced through a support thread that it will add watermarks to its Shorts once they are downloaded for sharing on other platforms. The change is already live on the desktop version of YouTube and it will arrive on mobile phones in a few months.
Creators on social media prefer sharing their content across multiple platforms to maximize engagement. Instead of having to start from scratch each time, it makes more sense to share the same video on other platforms. However, YouTube’s new update aims to bring people back to the original source of their favorite content.
TikTok already does it with its own watermarks and these also show the creator’s username so you can easily find the original version on TikTok. YouTube’s watermarks might work the same way, though the details are still unclear.
However, if you are looking to work around social media watermarks, you can simply use third-party video editors like Lama Fusion or Adobe After Effects and export the videos separately on each platform. This way, you can gain followers on each of your platforms instead of piling them all into one space.
This may not be feasible for everyone and most creators are likely going to continue making content the same way as before, watermarks or not. | https://propakistani.pk/2022/08/20/youtube-adds-watermarks-to-shorts-to-discourage-cross-posting/ | 2022-08-20T14:27:01Z | https://propakistani.pk/2022/08/20/youtube-adds-watermarks-to-shorts-to-discourage-cross-posting/ | true | 1 |

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon’s two U.S. Senators are asking the new director of the federal Bureau of Prisons about recent allegations that guards at the federal prison in Sheridan have retaliated against inmates who are suing the prison.
Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley wrote to Colette Peters, formerly the head of Oregon’s Department of Corrections and now federal prison director, demanding an update and answers to questions, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
“We are concerned about recent press reports that there has been retaliation and violence against inmates at FCI Sheridan for speaking out about their experiences regarding unaddressed medical needs; small cell confinement; and limited access to family and lawyers as a result of the pandemic,” Wyden and Merkley wrote in a letter released Friday.
They want to know by Sept. 19 if the prison is investigating retaliation claims involving guards and whether a special operations response team was brought in.
Further, they’ve asked what steps the prison is taking to ensure inmates aren’t confined in small spaces for extensive time, if they’re making sure inmates’ health needs are taken care of appropriately and what’s being done to address urgent staffing needs.
They said their offices also have gotten reports about significant delays in getting treatment and competency evaluations for incarcerated people who are believed to have significant mental health problems and appear unable to help in their own defense.
“We appreciate that you have just begun your tenure at the BOP, but given the urgency of the situation, we welcome a quick response,” the letter said.
Last month Oregon’s federal public defender Lisa Hay asked a judge to appoint a special investigator to look into allegations that guards at the prison are retaliating against those in custody for speaking out about their conditions behind bars.
The allegations come amid a pending federal petition by over three dozen incarcerated people who are seeking a reduction of their sentences at the prison, citing two years of alleged unconstitutional conditions.
On Aug. 4, U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacie F. Beckerman denied Hay’s motion, saying the court lacked jurisdiction to order such relief about conditions of imprisonment in the pending case that challenges the duration of their confinement.
Hay has asked the court to reconsider its ruling.
Lawyers for the federal prisons bureau, in response, contend the inmates have not exhausted administrative grievance steps yet, and that the federal public defender is attempting to “shoehorn conditions-of-confinement civil rights claims into a habeas petition,” according to a court filing by Assistant U.S. Attorneys John G.M. Coit and Alison Milne. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Oregon-senators-seek-answers-over-prison-inmate-17386651.php | 2022-08-20T14:33:55Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Oregon-senators-seek-answers-over-prison-inmate-17386651.php | false | 12 |
Have you ever drooled at Mahesh Babu’s fit physique and chiselled body? To add more to your imagination, take a look at this latest photo of the superstar shared by his wife
Namrata Shirodkar! Doesn’t he look like he is coming straight from a calendar shoot?
In the photo, or as Gen Z says – a ‘thirst-trap photo’, the actor is seen flaunting his fit and chiselled body as he enjoys a good swimming session at his private pool in his house.
Namrata shared two photos on Instagram and wrote, ''Some Saturday mornings are like these….'' followed by the hashtag #toocoolforthepool.
He has set social media on fire, and we don’t complain!
Recently on the occasion of Mahesh’s birthday, his wife shared a sweet note for him. ''You light up my world like nobody else! Happy birthday MB @urstrulymahesh!! Here are too many more crazy years together!! Love you, now and always,'' Namrata wrote.
The couple also shared many photos together from their month-long vacation in the US and Europe.
Namrata and Mahesh met on the sets of their movie ‘Vamsi’ in 2000 and later began dating. They got married in February 2005 during the shooting of ‘Athadu’. The duo has two children – Sitara Ghattamaneni and Gautham Ghattamaneni.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Mahesh Babu was last seen in the hit Telugu film ‘Sarkaru Vaari Paata’. The movie also starred Keerthy Suresh and was directed by Parasuram Petla. It was released in theatres on May 12. In the film, Mahesh played the role of a US-based money lender, who travels to India for personal reasons. But, as the story proceeds further, he is drawn into a woman’s life, who has suffered from the nexus between politicians and banking officials. He then takes a pledge to help the woman and ends up fixing the banking system in the country.
The film wasn’t received well by critics and didn’t do expected business at the box office either. However, it did manage to be a profitable one, owing to Mahesh Babu’s stardom.
Mahesh Babu will soon be seen sharing the big screen with Pooja Hedge in ‘SSMB 28'.

Crystal Palace v Aston Villa live stream: How to watch the Premier League from anywhere in the world
By Alasdair Mackenzie published
Watch a Crystal Palace v Aston Villa live stream as the Premier League action continues
Crystal Palace v Aston Villa live stream, Saturday August 20, 3.00pm
Looking for a Crystal Palace v Aston Villa live stream? You're in the right place.
Crystal Palace and Aston Villa face off at Selhurst Park on Saturday, with both teams looking to build on encouraging results in their last outings.
Patrick Vieira’s side travelled to Anfield to face Liverpool on Monday without big expectations, following a run of 10 consecutive defeats against the Reds.
However, the Eagles earned a 1-1 draw on Merseyside to get their first point of the season on the board.
Wilfried Zaha’s opener was cancelled out by a Luis Diaz leveller, which came after Darwin Nunez was sent off for the hosts.
It has been a tough start to the season for Palace, whose draw in Liverpool came after an opening day 2-0 defeat against Arsenal.
They will be targeting a victory on home soil with the visit of Villa, who are coming off their first three points of the campaign.
Steven Gerrard’s side recovered from a disappointing 2-0 defeat at newly-promoted Bournemouth to beat Everton 2-1 last weekend.
Danny Ings and Emiliano Buendia were both on target, before Lucas Digne’s late own goal gave the Toffees a consolation.
Villa had the edge in this fixture last season, winning 2-1 in London before holding Palace to a 1-1 draw at Villa Park in May.
Kick-off is at 3.00pm BST on Saturday August 20 and it's not being shown on UK TV. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee
FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar (opens in new tab) love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
NordVPN with quality mobile and desktop apps
A cheaper option and almost ExpressVPN's equal when it comes to quality, too. A single subscription covers six connections, so you can use it on mobile, laptop, streaming devices and more, all at the same time.
Surfshark offers a great VPN at a fraction of the price
It's clear to see why Surfshark is top of TechRadar's best cheap VPN table – it combines an excellent product with bargain pricing, starting at £2/$2.50 a month!

A major fire burned down the remaining pieces of the Grossinger's Hotel property, a former vacationing spot in the Catskills and inspiration for the 1987 hit film Dirty Dancing.
The Liberty Fire Department was dispatched to calls of a fire on the old property on Tuesday night. They arrived to find a large, three-and-a-half story building fully engulfed in flames. The blaze was so large that the smoke column could be seen for several miles away, according to the department.
In recent years, the property had become largely overgrown and abandoned. This impeded the responder's ability to get to the site of the fire. Firefighters had to cut through a gate in order to access the roadway to the building. Concrete barriers in the road further blocked firefighters' easy access to the scene, the fire department said.
Once the fire was out, an excavator was brought in to knock down the remaining pieces of the building, officially ridding the Catskills of what remained of the Grossinger Hotel.
The fire is still under investigation, according to the Liberty Fire Department.
Grossinger's heyday was after World War II, according to the Associated Press. Hundreds of thousands of vacationers made their way to the Catskills to visit the spot. One such visitor was Eleanor Bergstein, writer and producer of Dirty Dancing, who vacationed there with her family.
The film tells the romantic story of a young woman (played by Jennifer Grey), named Francis "Baby" Houseman, who falls in love with a dance instructor named Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze), while on vacation in 1963 at a resort just like Grossinger.
Before it finally closed in 1986, the hotel encompassed a complex of 35 buildings on 1,200 acres that served 150,000 guests a year at its height.
Though the movie is based on this resort, the filming took place in North Carolina and Virginia.

The biggest dating app in the world is losing some ground, at least partially due to the habits of young folks.
That’s one of the main conclusions to be drawn from a Friday Financial Times report. The British economic newspaper reported that Tinder downloads dropped 5 percent in 2021, while competitors like Bumble maintained growth in the same area, per market research conducted by the app data firm data.ai. Tinder CEO Gary Swidler told FT that new user sign-ups “have not returned to pre-pandemic levels.”
While there’s no hard demographic data regarding user ages to draw from, FT’s reporting suggested that Gen Z’s falling interest in Tinder could be to blame for the app’s slow fall from grace. It still had tens of millions more downloads than second-place Bumble last year, but one of those apps is losing steam while the other is gaining it. Tinder’s former CEO Renate Nyborg left the company just a few weeks ago.
Swidler told FT that “a lot of older people” use the app and that attracting younger users would be key to rebounding.
Flailing attempts at innovation to attract new users haven’t helped matters, either. Around the time Nyborg left, Tinder postponed plans to offer an in-app “Tinder Coins” currency and scaled down its efforts at creating dating spaces in the metaverse. Perhaps Gen Z isn’t particularly enticed by the notion of dating with a VR headset on.
While Tinder is still quite popular, it stands to reason that eventually it would lose some momentum, as all trendy apps eventually do. It’s been around for a decade and as the internet becomes the domain of a younger generation with different expectations and standards, it makes sense that young people would look elsewhere to make connections with each other.
As for those of us old enough to remember when Tinder was new, we’ll just go feel incredibly old in the corner. Don’t mind us. | https://mashable.com/article/tinder-financial-times-gen-z-decline | 2022-08-20T14:58:00Z | https://mashable.com/article/tinder-financial-times-gen-z-decline | false | 1 |
Oklahoma State came within inches of winning the Big 12 title and likely claiming a spot in the College Football Playoff last season.
The 12th-ranked Cowboys believe they can go further this season after a heartbreaking 21-16 loss to Baylor in the conference title game last December. They finished last season with a 12-2 record and No. 7 final ranking and take high hopes into this season.
"I feel like we have so much talent in so many areas," quarterback Spencer Sanders said. "Hopefully, we can come together and get to that Big 12 championship game like we did last year and take it all the way."
Sanders is back for his fourth season. He's already among the school's all-time statistical leaders in several categories, and he's coming off a monster game in the Fiesta Bowl. He passed for 371 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 125 yards in a 37-35 win over Notre Dame.
Last season, one of the nation's best defenses carried much of the load for the Cowboys. This season, Sanders believes the team will be more balanced. He's one of 10 offensive starters returning.
"It's time to show people what this offense can do," he said. "We have to take care of the little things so that when the big things come, the little things take care of the big things."
Sanders will get help from Dominic Richardson. The sophomore gained 239 yards rushing and 54 yards receiving last season. He spent his previous years learning from star running backs Chuba Hubbard and Jaylen Warren. Now, he's ready to shine.
"There is a little bit of pressure, but not as much because I've been working to this point for a long time," Richardson said. "I knew one year this would come and now, this is the year."
The defense should be stout again despite losing linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez and safety Kolby Harvell-Peel — both all-conference selections. Defensive lineman Collin Oliver and safety Jason Taylor II are preseason All-Big 12 picks.
It all leads to high hopes for a Cowboys program that beat Oklahoma last season for the first time since 2014.
"This is a different team, but we still are capable and have the players to go just as far if not farther than we did last year," safety Thomas Harper said.
NEW DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
Derek Mason has taken over as defensive coordinator now that Jim Knowles has gone to take the same position at Ohio State. Mason was defensive coordinator at Auburn in 2021. He was the head coach at Vanderbilt from 2014 to 2020 and was defensive coordinator at Stanford before that.
"It's been smooth," linebacker Mason Cobb said. "I love the way he coaches. He coaches everyone the same, from walk-ons to starters. I love how we are doing things."
PRESLEY TIME?
The Cowboys lost All-Big 12 receiver Tay Martin, but Brennan Presley is positioned to be the next great Oklahoma State wideout. He had 50 catches for 619 yards and five touchdowns last season, including 10 catches for 137 yards against Notre Dame.
He might not be the only Presley who puts up numbers. Younger brother Braylin, a true freshman, is a four star receiver.
SACK MASTERS
The Cowboys should have no problem pressuring quarterbacks this season with a dynamic defensive line that should rank among the nation's best.
Oliver led the Big 12 with 11.5 sacks as a true freshman last season. Brock Martin, a second-team all-conference pick last season along with Oliver, had nine sacks. Tyler Lacy had 11.5 tackles for loss. Trace Ford, a dominant pass rusher who missed last season with an injury, is back.
GUNNAR GUNDY
Redshirt freshman Gunnar Gundy — coach Mike Gundy's son — is a reserve quarterback for the Cowboys. Coach Gundy said he lets quarterbacks coach Tim Rattay handle the teaching.
"It's best for me to stay away from them and let (Rattay) coach him and let him function throughout the day," coach Gundy said. "I don't know if I'm right because it's the first time I've done it, but I just stay away and let it all take place."
THE SCHEDULE
Oklahoma State opens Sept. 1 against Central Michigan and then gets a home game against Arizona State on Sept. 10. In league play, the toughest matchups are Oct. 1 at No. 10 Baylor and Nov. 19 at No. 9 Oklahoma.

A Chautauqua County man was rescued from a creek and flown to Erie County Medical Center after crashing his all-terrain vehicle on Friday.
Silver Creek resident Robert P. Beckstrom, 46, was driving along Walnut Creek in Chautauqua County around 11 p.m. Friday when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed, according to the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office and several fire and emergency services departments responded and found Beckstrom injured but conscious.
Beckstrom was extricated from Walnut Creek and flown by a Western Pennsylvania-based STAT MedEvac helicopter to ECMC, according to the Sheriff's Office report. He was being treated in the Emergency Department Saturday morning. | https://buffalonews.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/atv-accident-late-saturday-sends-man-to-ecmc/article_e5f74e64-2088-11ed-89a4-a7551d2998cb.html | 2022-08-20T15:10:15Z | https://buffalonews.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/atv-accident-late-saturday-sends-man-to-ecmc/article_e5f74e64-2088-11ed-89a4-a7551d2998cb.html | false | null |
WASHINGTON (AP) — A top Treasury Department official is set next week to make his first official trip to India since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Amid tensions over India’s neutral stance on the invasion that began in late February, the U.S. wants the meetings to focus on how to deepen ties with the South Asian nation.
Treasury Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo will travel to Mumbai and New Delhi for meetings that include Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office, the finance ministry, the Reserve Bank of India, and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
And as India is set to lead the Group of 20 intergovernmental forum in 2023, Treasury says Adeyemo will “discuss key shared priorities such as bolstering energy security, addressing food insecurity globally, and combatting illicit financial flows.”
India hasn’t shunned Russia despite its membership in the regional Quad alliance with the U.S., Australia and Japan, Instead, it has maintained its business ties with Russia, depending on the Kremlin for energy and other exports.
The nation has boosted its purchase of Russian oil, buying roughly 60 million barrels in 2022 so far, compared with only 12 million barrels in all of 2021, according to commodity data firm Kpler.
The U.S. and Europe, however, are moving away from Russian energy — with Treasury officials promoting a price cap on Russian oil.
A Treasury statement says Adeyemo will meet with financial services and energy sectors executives in Mumbai and will speak about strengthening economic ties between the U.S. and India.
He will also underscore “our two countries’ deep economic, security, and cultural ties” and discuss ways to build “more resilient supply chains” through the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework that India joined as a founding member in May.
India is the world’s second-most populous country and largest democracy based on a population of 1.4 billion.
On Sunday, President Joe Biden issued a statement celebrating India’s 75th anniversary of independence, calling the U.S. and India “indispensable partners.” | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/politics/ap-politics/us-treasury-official-to-visit-india-amid-ukraine-tensions/ | 2022-08-20T15:10:23Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/politics/ap-politics/us-treasury-official-to-visit-india-amid-ukraine-tensions/ | false | 37 |
(NewsNation) — City of Miami commissioners voted this week to pursue a pilot program to build a designated zone for people experiencing homelessness, despite some calling it a “bad idea” and “heartless.”
The program calls for the construction of 50 to 100 “tiny homes” on Virginia Key, an 863-acre barrier island.
The location is home to a summer camp for kids. A sewage plant is not too far away. And right across the water is one of the most expensive zip codes in the U.S.
Commissioners are calling the idea a “transition zone” and the plan would provide housing, food, showers, and even outreach services for some of Miami’s homeless population.
“In my opinion, this is not an encampment that is going to be a concentration camp,” said Commissioner Manolo Reyes. “Nobody’s forcing anybody.”
Florida has about 27,000 people who are experiencing homelessness, and the program would house only about 100, a small dent in the overall problem the Sunshine State faces.
Some commissioners framed the program as a solution to homelessness, but it’s also getting a lot of opposition.
Commissioner Ken Russell voted against the proposal.
“This is the opposite of a plan, this is a bad idea,” Russell said. “The answer is permanent supportive housing.”
Russell would instead like to turn the land into a soccer park for kids.
“It’s not about whether this location is right or that location is right, it’s about whether this is a good idea or a bad idea,” Russell said. “And this is a bad idea.”
In a statement to NewsNation, the Virginia Key Alliance said they were ignored in the selection process and wrote, in part, “Placing homeless on a small island with no residents, services or security to support their needs is heartless.”
Esther Alonso owns and runs the outdoor center on Virginia Key. She worries about what this plan will mean for her employees and the kids who come to the park.
“There are children here, this is a beach. And we’re going to bring a large population of primarily homeless men … and we’re going to put them next to a swimming beach where people are running around in swimsuits?” Esther Alonso said. “I don’t know that’s a good mix.”
According to Commissioner Russell, the plan doesn’t consider essential support infrastructure and services.
“They don’t even have access to anything here, even just groceries or a job,” he said. “That’s not within reach of this island. We are miles from anything here.”
Alonso also pointed out Virginia Key’s exposure to the elements and lack of infrastructure.
“This is a harsh environment. When it gets bad, when it gets really humid, or the heat is unbearable, or the mosquitoes are so thick, we can leave,” she said. “If you’re living here, you can’t. This is it. And it’s a two-mile walk out through a mangrove forest, with a road in between.”
“This is not the friendliest environment for residential accommodations,” she said.
The City of Miami has made efforts to clean up tent cities and encampments in recent years and the Virginia Key is only one of a few options on the table right now.
Commissioners are scheduled to again address the pilot program specifics in September. | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/nexstar-media-wire/bad-idea-miami-advances-plan-to-move-homeless-onto-island/ | 2022-08-20T15:10:40Z | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/nexstar-media-wire/bad-idea-miami-advances-plan-to-move-homeless-onto-island/ | false | 16 |
Rottweiler owner is NOT sent to jail after his dog savaged seven-year-old girl in attack that has scarred her for life
- James Palmer, 31, was spared jail this week at Worcester Magistrates Court
- His dangerous dog, a malnourished Rottweiler, attacked a seven-year-old girl
- It left the child 'scarred for life' after the dog bit her check causing a horrific gash
- The attack happened outside the little girl's home in Dent Close, Worcester
The owner of a dangerous Rottweiler that mauled a seven-year-old girl and scarred her for life has walked free from court - while his dog was ordered to be destroyed.
James Palmer, 31, was holding the mutt on a lead and a harness when it launched at the young girl leaving her with horrific facial injuries.
The terrified child had gone over to stroke the dog when the crazed hound leapt up at her in Dent Close, Worcester on April 11 last year.
The little girl was rushed to hospital where she underwent extensive facial surgery to help heal her gaping cheek wound.
The Rottweiler jumped up and bit the young girl's face when she went to pet him. The girl was the rushed to Worcestershire Royal Hospital where she underwent extensive surgery to heal her cheek wound
Worcester Magistrates Court heard the young girl had been scarred for life as a result of the 'horrendous attack'.
Prosecutor Sumreen Asfar told the court how the dog had leapt at the little girl's jaw after she had gone to stroke the dog outside her home.
She said: 'There was a call from her mother that a dog was attacking her child. She was taken to the A&E. There was flesh hanging from her face.
'She has had surgery, she is going to have a scar on her face for the rest of her life.'
The prosecutor added that the dog had not been muzzled at the time of the attack, despite having been muzzle trained.
Worcester Magistrates Court heard that the young girl will have a scar on her face for the rest of her life. The dog owner, James Palmer, was given a six month sentence - suspended for a year
Miss Asfar added: 'The dog can become aggressive - if he is not muzzled this can be a repeated incident.
'When the dog was seized by police it was unwell and was suffering from malnutrition.'
Her family believe the black hoodie she was wearing at the time helped saved her life as it stopped the dog from sinking its teeth into her throat.
Speaking previously, the parents of the victim, who wish to remain anonymous, said they believed their daughter's hoodie saved her life.
The girl's 35-year-old step-dad said: 'It was lucky - I feel the hoodie saved her life.
'If the dog had grabbed her neck that would be it.'
Police were called to the scene while Palmer stayed in his flat.
Jordan Palmer, who owned the dangerous dog called Rocky, is said to have suffered mentally after the attention the case brought. He narrowly managed to avoid jail, however, Rocky will be put down
The dog owner initially refused to hand the dog, called Rocky, over to the police but eventually agreed to have it taken away.
Recalling the attack, the girl, who is now nine, said Palmer had told her his dog was 'friendly' and so she went closer and stroked him on the head.
She added: 'Then I saw he was looking at me and he looked like he wanted to attack me.
'He was looking me straight in the eye and looked like he was about to pounce. He jumped and bit.
'When his paws were on me I felt how strong he was. I felt the power.'
She said Palmer tried to pull the animal back and slapped the dog during the attack which she estimated lasted around two seconds.
Shocking photos released by the family show the gaping bloody wound and the girl lying on a hospital trolley with her face bandaged up.
The girl added: 'I was shocked and scared. I didn't feel the pain.
'Neighbours were looking and told me to get in and tell my mum.'
Her 11-year-old brother also witnessed the horror unfold and rushed upstairs to alert their mum.
An ambulance took her to Worcestershire Royal Hospital where she had the wound cleaned and stitched under general anesthetic.
Her mum, 41, said: 'She is just really lucky that the dog let go. I'm afraid the dog will attack other children.
'Whenever she sees a big dog now she hangs on to our hands and gets very nervous. I'm afraid she will be like this forever now.
'But we know it could have been a lot worse. We just don't want this dog to attack any more children.'
Will Harrison, who was defending Palmer, said he had been upset about what had happened and suffered mentally from the attention the case attracted.
He added: 'Not only that but in July this year he was admitted to hospital with a collapsed lunch.
He is signed off work.'
Mr Harrison said a report from a dog expert identified two 'plausible' explanations; either Rocky had felt threatened and reacted, or that children had ice creams and the dog had tried to bite one and caught the victim's face.
He added: 'There was no sustained attack, it was a lunge.
'Ultimately, the report concludes, if properly managed the dog isn't a danger.'
Palmer admitted being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog which caused injury when he was first seen at the court in May.
On Thursday, he was handed a six month jail sentence, suspended for a year while JPs ordered the dog to be destroyed.
He was also ordered to pay the young girl £1,500 in compensation, a £128 victim surcharge, £185 in legal costs as well as the £2,500 cost of keeping Rocky in the kennels.
Chair of the bench, Charles Townsend, said: 'I can't state clearly enough how serious the injury was. She will be permanently scarred.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11129861/Rottweiler-owner-spared-jail-dog-savaged-seven-year-old-girl-attack-Worcester.html | 2022-08-20T15:12:08Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11129861/Rottweiler-owner-spared-jail-dog-savaged-seven-year-old-girl-attack-Worcester.html | true | 4 |
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pete Alonso watched his latest milestone home run land 353 feet away in the third row of the left field seats to put the New York Mets in control and a rare setback well behind them.
Alonso hit his 30th home run and surpassed 100 RBIs, Starling Marte stole home and the Mets continued their season-long mastery of the Philadelphia Phillies with a 7-2 win on Friday night.
“It’s great,” Alonso said of his big numbers. “But also, I’m just trying to do the best I can to help this team win.”
Unassuming, perhaps. But Alonso is paid to hit, not fill the notebook.
The Mets were coming off their first series loss of the season after dropping three of four to Atlanta. The cure, as it seems to be this season, was a date with the Phillies.
The NL East-leading Mets improved to 12-4 against the Phillies this season — 5-2 in Philadelphia. Philadelphia’s wild-card chase could be on shaky ground with three more games this weekend against the Mets.
The Mets won two of three against the Phillies last weekend in New York; the highlight a 1-0 win that spoiled Philadelphia right-hander Aaron Nola’s mostly masterful complete game.
Nola (8-10) couldn’t come close to matching that start.
He caught some bad luck in the first when third baseman Alec Bohm’s throwing error on Alonso’s fielder’s choice — his 10th error out of 51 for the Phillies — led to a run in the first inning. Alonso anticlimactically reached 100 RBIs.
That sparked loud chants of “Let’s go Mets!” from many of the New York faithful among the sellout crowd of 43,176 at Citizens Bank Park. The Mets cheer was quickly drowned out by boos.
The boos soon turned toward the home team.
“I don’t know what it is,” interim Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. “Some teams just have other teams’ numbers.”
Alonso lined a two-run shot to left in the third and became the fifth player in Mets history with multiple 30-home run seasons. He joined New York long ball specialists Mike Piazza, Howard Johnson, Darryl Strawberry and Dave Kingman on that list.
“I’m really happy and satisfied with my consistency this year,” Alonso said.
The homer gave him 102 RBIs and Alonso joined David Wright as the only Mets with multiple 100-RBI seasons within their first four years in the league.
“You look up there and see 100 next to his name in the middle of August, it’s impressive,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said.
Alonso just might get to 40 homers this season at this rate. He might have if he could face Nola a few more times. Alsonso has five career home runs against Nola. No other major leaguer has more than three against the veteran.
Alonso could at least chase down Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber for the NL lead. Schwarber, who has 34 homers, had been reduced to two pinch-hit appearances since he strained his right calf last week. Schwarber was back in his leadoff spot and did rip a two-RBI single to right in the fifth.
“We’ve just got to try and find a way to win a baseball game,” Schwarber said.
The Phillies left nine runners stranded and mustered little offense against Chris Bassitt (11-7). Bassitt, who had not allowed an earned run over his last 24 innings, gave up seven hits and threw 104 pitches in six innings.
Bassitt did enough to get help the Mets put the Atlanta disappointment behind them.
“We respect the Braves,” he said, “but we can’t really worry about what they’re doing.”
Marte made it 5-0 in the fifth on a mad dash toward home on the back end of a double steal and Brett Baty, who homered against Atlanta in his first major league at-bat, added a two-run single in the seventh for a 7-2 lead.
The Mets are now 32-10 in games following a loss and are 41-8 against NL East teams.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies: Looks who’s (almost) back: 2021 NL MVP Bryce Harper took about 60 swings in the batting cage Friday and is on track for a rehab assignment next week in his return from a broken left thumb.
“It looked really good. Bat speed’s there, he said it felt good,” Thomson said.
UP NEXT
Let’s play two! The Phillies send RHP Zack Wheeler (11-6, 2.92 ERA) to the mound in the first game of a doubleheader and LHP Baily Falter (0-3, 4.85) starts the second. The Mets did not announce the order of LHP David Peterson (6-2, 3.30) and RHP Trevor Williams (2-5, 3.02).

Panchamasali reservation: K'taka HC stays high-level committee's work
- Country:
- India
The Karnataka High Court has issued an interim stay on the high-level committee, which was tasked to suggest whether the Panchamasali sub-sect of Lingayats was eligible for inclusion in the 2A Category of reservations.
The state government on March 10, 2021 tasked the three-member committee headed by retired High Court judge, Justice Subhash B Adi to suggest whether Panchamasalis, currently in 3B Category could be moved to 2A Category.
The Karnataka State Backward Castes' Federation moved the court challenging the terms of reference given to the committee.
The Federation claimed that the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes is the only authority which can decide the inclusion or exclusion of any caste from the list of Backward Classes. Therefore, the terms of reference given to the committee was not in the law.
The committee was formed by way of a government order. The Federation claimed that there was no such provision under the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes Act 1995.
A single judge bench has heard the petition earlier this year and referred it to a division bench as it had to answer a substantial question of law. A division bench of the court on Friday gave a stay on the proceedings of the committee and adjourned the hearing to August 24.

A yacht owned by a sanctioned Russian oligarch will be put up for sale by the Gibraltar government. It will become the first luxury vessel to be sold after the restrictions have been announced over Russia's offensive in Ukraine. The money that will be received after the auction of 'Axioma' will be given to the US investment bank, JP Morgan, which claims that the yacht's owner Dmitry Pumpyansky, owes them more than $20 million (Rs 1,59,85,10,000), The Guardian reported.
The 72.5-meter vessel owned by Dmitry Pumpyansky was detained after docking in Gibraltar in March. The yacht was detained after a legal claim made by JP Morgan, which said Pumpyansky's holding company Pyrene Investment owed the bank more than $20 million (Rs 1,59,85,10,000). The money that will be received after the sale will not be given to Ukrainians.
A spokesperson for Gibraltar Courts Service told The Guardian that the Axioma was "arrested" following the "admiralty claim" filed in the Supreme Court. The spokesperson stated that the admiralty marshal will not be able to anticipate the money that will be received after the sale as the vessel will be placed on auction.
Nigel Hollyer, the broker to the Admiralty marshal of the Supreme Court of Gibraltar, said that there has been an "unexpected late surge" in the number of prospective buyers for the vessels, as per The Guardian report. Hollyer further added that 30 people had travelled to Gibraltar to conduct an inspection of the yacht. Notably, the UK, the US, and the EU imposed sanctions against Dmitry Pumpyansky after Russia began its offensive in Ukraine.
The UK government sanctioned Dmitry Pumpyansky on March 15 and stated that his net worth is estimated at £1.84 billion (Rs 1,73,91,74,99,200). The vessel which will be auctioned by the Gibraltar government has six luxurious guest cabins, a swimming pool, a 3D cinema room, a gym, a jacuzzi and a spa.
Since Russia's military offensive in Ukraine, EU nations have imposed sanctions against Russia to pressurise Kremlin to end the war in Ukraine. On August 19, Estonia announced that it will dispatch an official proposal to the European Commission to impose the eighth sanctions package against Russia in response to Moscow's offensive in Ukraine.

WIOC CELEBRATES LISTING ON THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE (ECSE)
The West Indies Oil Company Limited (WIOC) celebrated its listing on the Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange (ECSE) with a July 7th launch event at the John E. St. Luce Building. The historic moment follows a successful initial public offering in 2021, in which the Government of Antigua and Barbuda divested 10% of its holdings in WIOC and attracted new shareholders, the overwhelming majority being Antiguan and Barbudan.
In his address, Prime Minister Browne, noted that the listing of the West Indies Oil Company on the ECSE is a historic moment which is indicative of the resilience and ingenuity of the Antigua and Barbuda people.
“This is part of a deliberate strategy to make sure that at the micro-level you have companies that are profitable, companies that are resilient, companies that are sustainable. Government cannot do it alone and we support companies like West Indies Oil Company, helping them to build capacity and become more profitable, and resilient, in turn making the overall economy more resilient and more sustainable.”
Prime Minister Browne also praised the leadership of WIOC for making the company one of the most profitable in Antigua and Barbuda. “My Government has immense confidence in the management of the West Indies Oil Company and we believe that they have the capacity to take the company to the next level.
Antigua and Barbuda has one of the largest economies within the sub-region, so the listing of an Antiguan company is important both to the ECSE and to the regional capital market. ECSE Managing Director, Trevor Blake speaking at the launch event noted that the shareholders were the main beneficiaries, as “the value of holdings will undoubtedly increase as WIOC uses the market as a more efficient source of business financing, which will enable shareholders to enjoy the benefits of capital appreciation over time.”
WIOC’s CEO Gregory Georges declared that being the first Antiguan and Barbudan company to list on the Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange is a result of the vision, strategic partnerships, and hard work of a wide array of stakeholders. He stated: “Ours is a story which demonstrates that ordinary people, with a laser-focus on excellence and with a passion for performance, can do extraordinary things.”
Georges was part of the team in London in 2015 that witnessed Prime Minister Browne completing the acquisition of the shares of WIOC from the former owners, National Petroleum Limited. It was at that event that Prime Minister Browne gave Georges and WIOC’s Directors the directive to have the company listed on the ECSE.
For over 50 years, The West Indies Oil Company Limited has continued to grow, generating profits of over $26 million dollars in 2019. Despite the pandemic, the Company continued its profitable growth performance in 2020 and 2021. By offering shares to the public WIOC now benefits in several ways including access to the organized market, improved liquidity, access to capital, lower transfer costs and enhanced employee compensation. | https://www.bajanreporter.com/2022/08/wioc-celebrates-listing-on-the-eastern-caribbean-securities-exchange-ecse/ | 2022-08-20T15:19:01Z | https://www.bajanreporter.com/2022/08/wioc-celebrates-listing-on-the-eastern-caribbean-securities-exchange-ecse/ | true | 1 |
A vile paedophile has been jailed for his part in a plan to abuse a child at an Airbnb rental property.
Jeremy Mason, 39, was sentenced to six years at Leeds Crown Court on Friday (August 19), after admitting a string of offences. West Yorkshire Police said his offending, and that of his co defendant Owen Daley, of Oxford, was first flagged in December 2021, after a friend of the victim contacted them on the night he was supposed to meet Mason in an Air BnB in Huddersfield.
Quick thinking police officers traced the boy’s phone communications, and Mason, of Manchester, was identified, found and placed under arrest within 24 hours, according to Yorkshire Live. Meanwhile, his co defendant, Daley, 22, was subsequently located within a month via telecommunication enquiries.
Analysis revealed the boy had first been contacted by a man who is still at large, and who passed his details to the vile pair. During their investigations, police recovered months of contact between the victim, Daley and Mason, with both sending the boy sexual imagery and preparing for Mason to meet and sexually assault him.
Mason and Daley were both given lifetime Sexual Harm Prevention Orders during a sentencing hearing at Leeds Crown Court on Friday and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for life. Mason pleaded guilty to possessing a prohibited image of a child; possessing an extreme pornographic image portraying a sexual act with an animal; distributing an indecent photograph/pseudo-photograph of a child; causing a child under 13 to look at an image of sexual activity; two counts of causing or inciting a boy under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity; and three counts of making indecent images of a child.
Daley was also jailed for six years after admitting engaging in sexual communication with a child, two counts of arranging or facilitating a child sex offence, two counts causing or inciting a boy under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity, three counts of making an indecent photograph or pseudo-photograph of a child, possessing prohibited images of children, possessing an extreme pornographic image and two counts of distributing an indecent image or pseudo-photograph of a child.
Detective Sergeant Ben Howley of the Kirklees POLIT (Police Online Investigation Team) who led the investigation, said: "We welcome the sentences given to Mason and Daley for offences and further planned offending which can frankly be described as depraved.
"It is pure good fortune that Mason did not come into contact with the young man on the night he arranged a meeting. The victim continues to receive specialist safeguarding care and I wish to pay tribute to him and his family for supporting the prosecution..
"Their courage has helped us and CPS colleagues put these men, who pose an absolute danger to children, behind bars. We always advise victims of crime to come forwards and would anyone or any families of children being contacted via social media in such circumstances to contact West Yorkshire Police."

Sri Lanka's Tourism Minister Harin Fernando on Saturday said as things get back to normal after the recent political crisis in the island nation, the government aims to receive at least 10 lakh tourists this year, mostly from India. Fernando, who was in Ahmedabad to promote tourism in the island nation, said religious and cultural tourism between Sri Lanka and India "will make a lot of sense".
"There are a lot of commonalities we can find with India, and we think the next year will be mostly dedicated to India," Fernando told reporters. Sri Lanka has already logged five lakh tourists for the current year, and hopes to end the year with 10 lakh tourists, mostly from India, the minister said.
He further said 2018 was the best for the country when around 23 lakh tourists visited and generated a revenue of $4-5 billion for the country, he said. "We have $900 million coming from the tourism sector (so far this year), and are hoping that by the end of the year we might reach about $2 billion," Fernando said.
The country hopes to end this year with 10 lakh tourists and the next year with 15-20 lakh tourists, he said. "Till now (this year), we have had 75,000 Indian tourists coming to Sri Lanka, followed by the United Kingdom (65,000). The first two-three months were good, and then we had a very dull period between April-June (due to political turmoil)," the minister said. "Till now (this year), we have had 75,000 Indian tourists coming to Sri Lanka, followed by the United Kingdom (65,000).
Things have again started to pick up and currently, the country has been receiving close to 2,000 tourists per day (as against the peak of 7,000 per day), he said. "Sri Lanka, some would say, is a sort of India, we are a part of India...We are the pearl of the Indian Ocean, the value of Sri Lanka would be for Indians and we need to work that out with Indians," Fernando said.
The island country is trying to work with a few ashrams in India to promote such tourism, he added. "We are trying to bring in a big crowd at once about 2,000 pilgrims to Jaffna airport, and from there starting by road. We are looking at exploring these new avenues. We also have a lot of wellness, yoga, meditation and Ayurvedic medicines. There are a lot of values that India and Sri Lanka share," the minister said.
Sri Lanka looks to India as its big brother who has always been supportive. "We thank the Narendra Modi government, especially at this point where Sri Lanka had difficult times in the last couple of months," the minister said.
In terms of currency exchange also Sri Lanka offers a better value for money, with one Indian rupee being equivalent to four Sri Lankan rupees, he said. "Indians will have a better value for money while touring Sri Lanka rather than Indian destinations at this moment. Sri Lanka has a lot more to offer," he said.
Unfortunately, travellers from Gujarat look more to Far East countries such as Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand as their preferred tourism destinations, Fernando said. Sri Lankan cricketer Sanath Jayasuriya, who is the brand ambassador for Sri Lanka tourism, said his countrymen have realised that they need to come back to normal life. Sri Lankan cricketer Sanath Jayasuriya, who is the brand ambassador for Sri Lanka tourism, said his countrymen have realised that they need to come back to normal life.
"Sri Lankans want stability with the new government. People have seen this change with the fuel crisis and gas, and we do not have long queues anymore. That is what people need," Jayasuriya said. "We need people to visit Sri Lanka. Tourism is the main source of income for the country, which is now safe to travel. The message should go that you can travel to Sri Lanka. We are hospitable people. We want people to travel and visit Sri Lanka," he said. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/economy-2/sri-lanka-aims-to-get-10-lakh-tourists-this-year-especially-from-india-says-tourism-minister-harin-fernando-9062191.html | 2022-08-20T15:19:37Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/economy-2/sri-lanka-aims-to-get-10-lakh-tourists-this-year-especially-from-india-says-tourism-minister-harin-fernando-9062191.html | false | 7 |
"Wanted To Get Some Runs But...": KL Rahul On Failing To Score Big In India vs Zimbabwe Second ODI
India captain KL Rahul was out for just 1 in the second ODI against Zimbabwe
- Press Trust of India
- Updated: August 20, 2022 08:33 PM IST
India's top order wobbled a bit while chasing a small total but captain KL Rahul said his side was not nervous as it notched up a comprehensive five-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the second ODI to clinch the series with one match remaining here on Saturday. Chasing 162 to win, India were 97 for 4 at the end of the 14th over before Sanju Samson's unbeaten 43 off 39 balls took the visitors home with 24.2 overs left. "We bat deep and it's good for some of the guys to get time in the middle. We weren't nervous," Rahul said at the post-match presentation.
"They (Zimbabwe) have some quality bowlers and they bowled well to Bangladesh, I watched on the television. The bowlers did come hard, they're tall and big and strong boys.
"Good challenge for us as batters, but we bat deep so it wasn't a worry."
Rahul promoted himself at the top of the batting order to open the India innings with Shikhar Dhawan but was out for 1 in the second over of the run chase.
"It didn't work (on the changed batting order), I wanted to get some runs but it didn't happen. Hopefully in the next game," he said.
"We're here to play good cricket and win. It's a great turnout today, it's a weekend, and wherever we go across the world we get good support from Indian fans, so thanks to them." Man of the match Sanju Samson said he enjoyed keeping wickets and contributing with the bat.
"Feels good to spend time in the middle. I took three catches but I missed a stumping too; as keepers we're used to listening to things we didn't do well," said Samson, who took three catches and scored an unbeaten 43.
"I really enjoyed keeping and contributing to the win. In this match the fast bowlers picked the length much quicker and I really enjoyed keeping."
For hosts Zimbabwe, it was their second successive loss and captain Regis Chakabva said his team has lacked in execution with both bat and ball.
Promoted
"We had a really good fight in the field. We've struggled to pick early wickets in the last few games and we did that today," he said.
"We fell shot of runs on the board. Our execution lacked a little bit in the end, and we're looking to score more runs. The bowlers came out charging and they tried to hit their lengths." Zimbabwe Cricket dedicated Saturday's game to the cause of children's cancer. The home team is donating USD 500 and a Zimbabwe jersey to a six-year-old who also got a signed ball from Sanju Samson. | https://sports.ndtv.com/zimbabwe-vs-india-2022/india-vs-zimbabwe-wanted-to-get-some-runs-but-kl-rahul-on-failing-to-score-big-in-second-odi-3271689 | 2022-08-20T15:30:32Z | https://sports.ndtv.com/zimbabwe-vs-india-2022/india-vs-zimbabwe-wanted-to-get-some-runs-but-kl-rahul-on-failing-to-score-big-in-second-odi-3271689 | false | 7 |
- 14 billion dollars in crypto lost to scammers and hacking in 2021 alone.
- Move is a secure smart contract language that protects against hacking vulnerabilities.
- Mysten Labs and 0L Network will build key tools and resources for developer onboarding to the Move ecosystem.
- Partnership is part of Mysten's long term strategy to grow the Move Ecosystem to 5 million developers by 2025.
Mysten Labs, a Web 3.0 infrastructure company, announced a partnership with 0L Network, an open and permissionless version of the Diem blockchain. Together, Mysten Labs and 0L will build tools and resources for the Move smart contract programming language. Move, released as part of the Diem technology stack, is uniquely effective for secure smart contract development. In line with the partnership, the projects plan to roll out joint Move hackathons and mentorship programs starting in March 2022.
Easy to use and secure against exploits, the Move language is ideal for developers of all experience levels looking to build complex network governance and participation arrangements quickly. Additionally, Move is a cross-platform smart contract language–it can run without modification on blockchains that use different transaction formats, account structures, cryptography, consensus, etc.
"Move simplifies reasoning about smart contracts by eliminating large attack surfaces such as re-entrancy, which dramatically decreases the scope of audits," commented Sam Blackshear, CTO of Mysten Labs and creator of the Move programming language. "We expect Move to become the lingua franca of smart contract development, and we're excited to partner with 0L to further expand the Move community."
"With Mysten's support, we will meaningfully reduce the time it takes to build Move-powered applications," added Zaki Manian, Co-creator of 0L. "This is essential for building ecosystem momentum. As the only public, live, and fair-launch Diem-based blockchain, 0L is a built-in platform to experiment and deploy full, live Move applications for a community of engaged users. We are seizing the opportunity to build tools, frameworks and applications so Move developers anywhere can quickly launch their projects."
Moving forward, Mysten and 0L will collaborate on standards, specifications, tools, mentoring and hackathons. Additionally, they plan to develop innovative applications, tools, and wallets, turning them into functional specifications and standards for development. The partnership expects to significantly increase the engineering resources working on Move and accelerate adoption.
Mysten Labs' partnership with 0L Network comes on the heels of its Series A raise, which saw the Web 3.0 infrastructure company draw funding from a16z, Redpoint, and many other top tier investors.

Gurugram, August 19
Social media influencer Bobby Kataria is in trouble again after an FIR was filed against him for misbehaving with a woman, posting vulgar messages about her on social media and issuing death threats to her.
Kataria has been booked under Sections 506 and 509 of the IPC following a complaint by an Ashok Vihar resident. The complainant alleged that Kataria and his group came to a championship being held in Gurugram’s Sector 5 and stopped it forcibly. The accused declared their own team members as winners and awarded medals and prize money to them.“When I asked for the money, they started misbehaving with me. They even threatened to kill me,” the woman said in the FIR. | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/haryana/bobby-kataria-booked-423472 | 2022-08-20T15:32:20Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/haryana/bobby-kataria-booked-423472 | false | null |
As excitement mounts for NASA’s first Artemis mission, the uncrewed Artemis I launching later this month, the agency has revealed more about its planned for future crewed moon missions. The Artemis III mission will see humans set foot on the moon for the first time in 50 years, and NASA has now shared the 13 potential lunar locations where they could land.
The 13 locations are around the south pole of the moon, and were chosen for reasons of both accessibility and geological interest. “Several of the proposed sites within the regions are located among some of the oldest parts of the Moon, and together with the permanently shadowed regions, provide the opportunity to learn about the history of the Moon through previously unstudied lunar materials,” said Sarah Noble, Artemis lunar science lead for NASA’s Planetary Science Division, in a statement.
The permanently shadowed regions are important because they are some of the areas most likely to hold water ice, a key lunar resource. During a stay on the lunar surface of around a week, astronauts will perform a moonwalk to investigate these areas. They also need to be close to some areas of sunlight as this will provide power for the mission.
“Selecting these regions means we are one giant leap closer to returning humans to the Moon for the first time since Apollo,” said Mark Kirasich, deputy associate administrator for the Artemis Campaign Development Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “When we do, it will be unlike any mission that’s come before as astronauts venture into dark areas previously unexplored by humans and lay the groundwork for future long-term stays.”
To decide which of the 13 sites will be the eventual landing spot, NASA will discuss the possibilities with scientists and engineers in a series of workshops and conferences. In addition, the agency will work with SpaceX which will be providing the lander for the mission to make sure the landing site is safe for the vehicle. The Artemis III launch is currently scheduled for 2025.

The Fauquier Times recently surveyed several county high school coaches to gather their reactions to the upcoming state-wide reclassification moves.
Some did not respond to emails, while others did not wish to comment on the record until more information was available once the VHSL’s appeal process is complete.
“It’s not going to be easy. There’s going to be competition no matter where you go,” said Quentin Jones, coach of Fauquier’s successful cross country and track and field programs.
Fauquier has been a consistent threat at the Class 4 district and regional level for years, and the Falcons captured the girls state indoor championship in 2021 after earning the runner-up trophy in 2020. They also were second in the boys 2016 indoor meet.
Jones wants to dispel any notion that Fauquier would be the automatic 800-pound gorilla at the Class 3 level, despite seemingly easier roads at the district and regional tiers.
Western Albemarle is returning to the Class 3 level after two years as a Class 4 school. Western Albemarle’s girls were the state Class 3 champs in 2018, 2019 and 2021 and the Warrior boys were second behind Loudoun Valley for last winter’s state title and took the Class 3 2021 outdoor trophy.
Jones was wistful about not competing against some Northwestern District coaching staffs with which FHS has built strong bonds. The supportive relationships transcend wins versus losses, Jones says, as the athletes are the focal points.
“I just like the camaraderie when the coaches work together. You would come to a Northwestern District meet, and there isn’t an argument all of the time,” Jones said appreciatively. “It was for the kids.”
“I think it’s important for all of the kids when the coaches in the district get along,” the Falcon coach said. “We all want to win it, but we’re all there to take care of one another.”
Jones remembers a brief stint in the old Conference 22 where the Fredericksburg-area schools demonstrated disdain in some sports toward outsiders Fauquier and Liberty and there was outright animosity from one program.
No more Loudoun schools in postseason
For Jen Linthicum, Fauquier’s second-year volleyball coach, the change to Class 3 status is a breath of fresh air.
“It gets me away from Loudoun,” was her immediate comment, aimed specifically at the Loudoun County High juggernaut and the Dulles District in general.
Loudoun County has won the last eight state Class 4 volleyball championships and 13 of the past 14. Fauquier has often seen its season ended in a regional battle against the Captains, formerly the Raiders.
Some of those losses left the Falcons one win or spot shy of a state tournament berth, which is true for other county teams, like Kettle Run golf.
KRHS golf coach Chris Ferrell likes his Cougars’ odds of making states in 2023. “Our lineup will be almost the same next year. And we’re going into an easier conference without the Loudoun teams around,” he said.
Linthicum said Loudoun County High’s dominance became a mental hurdle
“It always comes with the overwhelming idea of we have to play [Loudoun] County and kids have to get past that,” Linthicum said. “It’s hard in the long run to break up the Loudoun schools.”
Fauquier and the other Class 3 members of the Northwestern District now will advance directly to the regional level beginning in 2023, eliminating one step in the pursuit of a state tournament berth.
“It will be nice to get a new perspective to learn what it means to go far [into the playoffs],” Linthicum predicted.
“It will be fun and a nice change. I think the girls will be excited about it.” | https://www.fauquier.com/news/coaches-express-positives-and-regrets-about-moving-to-class-3/article_977ca7a8-1ffb-11ed-bd6c-df9915625681.html | 2022-08-20T15:46:44Z | https://www.fauquier.com/news/coaches-express-positives-and-regrets-about-moving-to-class-3/article_977ca7a8-1ffb-11ed-bd6c-df9915625681.html | false | 1 |
Groundforce are using KTC Safety, a long established, independent training centre, as a base in Ireland to offer their accredited EUSR training courses.
The Irish centre for Groundforce Training will be based at Kearney Training & Consultancy (KTC Safety) in Ballydavis, Portlaoise, Co Laois. KTC is one of the largest Health and Safety training organisations in Ireland, with one of the largest dedicated training centres in the country.
A total of eight one and two-day courses for accredited EUSR categories 1 to 5 will be on offer, rangingfrom locating utility services and implementing safe digging (excavating) practices, to installing, inspecting and removing timber, steel and proprietary shoring systems.
The opening of the new Irish training centre is in response to increasing demand from the industry for excavation safety training.
Groundforce Ireland director Joseph Lenihan said: ““Groundforce’s new excavation safety and temporary works training courses are a game-changer for the Irish construction industry. For too many years, the safe installation and removal of safety critical shoring systems has been a grey area for the industry, with accredited training on the use of these systems not readily available in Ireland. This situation creates significant risk on construction sites, as without appropriate training, full competency is not possible.
Benefits
“Now with Irish-based trainers and a newly built training area at KTC’s training centre in Portlaoise, Groundforce can provide accredited training in this safety critical area. In the past, Groundforce UK have delivered training courses to a number of key Irish contractors and we are confident the industry will appreciate this new local offering and avail of it.”
He added: “With the broader area of temporary works becoming an ever more critical aspect of projects, we urge all contractors who are engaged in excavation works to consider the benefits of this training.”
KTC managing director David Kearney said: “We at KTC Safety Ltd are pleased to go into partnership with Groundforce Training and to introduce a new sector of training and assessment within Ireland.
“KTC Safety Ltd is the one of the largest independent Health and Safety training organisations in Ireland, with a dedicated training centre in Portlaoise, Co Laois. Our facility specialises in the operation of heavy plant in the construction industry and other sectors, therefore we put a high value on safe, appropriate training and certification ensuring that workers can be fully competent as they carry out their roles on site.
“We are pleased to be able to facilitate this excavation safety training at our training centre in Portlaoise, Co Laois. With the combined expertise of KTC Safety Ltd and Groundforce Training we are confident this new aspect of training will be beneficial to the construction industry.”

Illinois Republicans rallied at the Illinois State Fair, downplaying the Pritzker administration in hopes of garnering more support in November.
It was the second day of party gatherings in Springfield, with Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey and other officials taking the stage.
On Wednesday, Gov. J.B. Pritzker talked about the past accomplishments of his administration.
Bailey downplayed those accomplishments on Thursday.
"Our legislature keeps passing more and more radical legislation," Bailey said. "They are interfering in our schools. They are raising our taxes, which are some of the highest in the country. Our legislature is going soft on criminals to the point where they have made Chicago a hellhole."
Stephanie Trussell, Bailey's running mate for the November election, also spoke at the GOP event. The Chicago native echoed Bailey's words and claimed Pritzker has made the state a more dangerous place to live.
"His policies have made our communities less safe," Trussell said. "I want everyone to go home and do your research on the SAFE-T Act because you know if a Democrat names a policy, you know it does the opposite of what it has named after."
Bailey said the issues in Illinois begin with the sitting governor.
"Illinois is not a mess just because of the legislature. Chicago, a once great city, did not become a hellhole just because of Lori Lightfoot and Kim Foxx," Bailey said. "It all starts with J.B. Pritzker."
Many GOP leaders spoke at the event and shared a common thought that the state is broken. However, Bailey said he knows how to fix it.
"Our home is in trouble, thanks to fat cat leaders like Joe Biden and J.B. Pritzker," Bailey said. "You can not clear a field of weeds if you do not pull them out by the roots, friends. The only way to fix Illinois is to fire J.B. Pritzker."
Pritzker answered questions on Wednesday about a possible strife within the party. Pritzker denied those claims. GOP chairman Don Tracy also was asked about how the Republicans are getting along. He said that after a contentious primary election, Bailey is garnering support from former opponents.
"It was a really rough and tumble primary election," Tracy said. "We had a great unity event last night and Richard Irvin was there, Gary Rabine was there, and Jesse Sullivan was there and they all spoke in favor of Darren Bailey."
The Illinois gubernatorial election will be held on Nov. 8. | https://www.advantagenews.com/news/local/granite-city-news/republicans-rally-at-fair/article_5fa74f4a-1fec-11ed-a24c-173415790db5.html | 2022-08-20T15:52:52Z | https://www.advantagenews.com/news/local/granite-city-news/republicans-rally-at-fair/article_5fa74f4a-1fec-11ed-a24c-173415790db5.html | false | 2 |

The Last Gender by Rei Taki in Kodansha Solicits November 2022
Kodansha time! As we all know from YouTube commentators, modern American comic books are failing in terms of sales (even though they inexplicable seem to be increasing) because the publishers and creators are just telling a series of woke political lectures, and this is why manga is also increasing sales in America because they don't have any of that woke nonsense. Anyway, here are the solicits for Kodansha, the biggest print manga publisher in the world, who republishes their manga as part of Penguin Random House in the USA for the English-speaking market, including the Vertical imprint. Here are the Kodansha and Vertical November 2022 solicits and solicitations for November, December and January shipping manga, where you won't see any kind of that woke malarky, I am sure. And we begin with The Last Gender by Rei Taki, with a "transgender bisexual who has been hurt by the voices of others, a pansexual looking for true love, and a person who identities as both male and female. There are as many sexualities as there are people." Wait, what?

You can fly in a seaplane between New York City and Washington, DC, starting this fall
NEW YORK — Anyone looking to ditch Amtrak or the long commutes to and from La Guardia, JFK, or Newark Airport when traveling between New York City and Washington, D.C., will now have another option—a float plane.
Tailwind Air will start flying two daily flights between the Skyport Marina near East 23rd Street in Manhattan and College Park Airport just outside D.C. The plane will take off from the water in New York and land on the runway at the Suburban D.C. airport in College Park, Maryland.
Tailwind said the flights will operate using eight-seat Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft. The flight time will be between 80-90 minutes and cost $395 one-way.
The airline is touting the ease of the smaller planes, saying passengers have up until 10 minutes before departure to check in for the flight.
"When factoring in the full journey—one hour and twenty minutes in the air (comparable to DCA-LGA service except with no need to access crowded and congested airports on both ends) or the three hours fifty minutes for the Acela—Tailwind Air will offer the fastest, least stressful, premium way to travel between DC and Manhattan. That, paired with the unforgettable views, makes this a compelling experience," Tailwind Air co-founder Peter Manice said in a press release.
College Park Airport is 30-minute drive from Downtown D.C. and connects directly to Metro’s Green Line.
The first departure is Sept. 13.
"Bypassing the congestion of the northeast corridor between New York and Washington, DC remains the core mission of Tailwind Air," Alan Ram, CEO and co-founder of Tailwind Air, said in a statement.

Week 2 of the NFL preseason continues on Saturday, August 20 with eight games on the schedule. Fans could be in for an entertaining quarterback battle as the Tennessee Titans travel to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while oddsmakers are pegging the Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs to be a high-scoring affair with the total set at 44. As players continue to fight for roster spots, there should be a number of standout performances by the end of the Saturday slate.
Here, we’ll break down some of our favorite DFS plays for Saturday’s slate in Week 2 of the NFL preseason for classic games.
Top plays
Malik Willis, Tennessee Titans vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($5,500) — The rookie quarterback was among the notable standout performances in Week 1 of the preseason. Willis tallied 107 passing yards while going 6-of-11 from the pocket, and added five carries for 38 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He’s reportedly been getting more and more reps as the backup quarterback competition heats up, which could mean more opportunities under center on Saturday.
Kyle Trask, Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Tennessee Titans ($5,500) — It’s a small sample size with only one week of preseason football in the books, but Trask leads all quarterbacks in passing yards with 258 through the air last week. He completed 25-of-33 passes while Blaine Gabbert attempted just five throws all game. Trask should be in for a bulk of the snaps under center in what could be a sneaky good game to watch versus Willis on the other side.
Values
Malik Davis, Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Chargers ($5,500) — With Ezekiel Elliot and Tony Pollard on the sideline, it was Davis that stepped up as a lone bright spot for Dallas last week. Davis finished with eight carries for 51 yards with an average of 6.4 rushing yards per attempt, and there’s a likelihood that he sees more opportunities in the backfield against the Chargers. Keep Davis as a consistent value play for Dallas throughout the preseason.
Khalil Shakir, Buffalo Bills vs. Denver Broncos ($5,500) — Shakir justifying the claim that the Bills got an absolute steal in drafting him in the fifth round this year. In last week’s preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts, Shakir caught all five targets for 92 yards with an absurd 18.4 yards per reception. Buffalo has plenty of talent on the outside, but they may have to make room for Shakir if he continues this type of play for the remainder of the preseason.
Michael Bandy, Los Angeles Chargers vs. Dallas Cowboys ($5,500) — It’s safe to say that the Chargers’ quarterbacks were looking Bandy’s way often in their preseason opener. The 2020 undrafted receiver had a notable 11 targets in their loss to the Los Angeles Rams last week, which was five more than the second-highest receiver in the box score. After catching seven receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown last week, Bandy has a strong opportunity for another productive performance as he continues to make the case for a roster spot. | https://dknation.draftkings.com/2022/8/20/23308563/nfl-dfs-picks-week-2-day-draftkings-targets-fantasy-football-daily-lineups-classic-malik-willis | 2022-08-20T16:07:47Z | https://dknation.draftkings.com/2022/8/20/23308563/nfl-dfs-picks-week-2-day-draftkings-targets-fantasy-football-daily-lineups-classic-malik-willis | false | 1 |

The stock market might be at a crossroads once again. In recent weeks, we’ve seen some solid gains, mostly across the board, as a rally has taken hold and moderated year-to-date losses on the major indexes. But is this rally running out of steam?
Taking the bearish view of the current environment is Morgan Stanley’s chief US equity strategist Mike Wilson. He sees the gains right now as a bear market rally, and believes that markets will likely turn down again in the longer term. Laying out his position, Wilson writes, “The message from us for the next several months remains: risk/reward is unattractive, and this bear market remains incomplete.”
Shifting his focus to the Fed’s likely actions, Wilson continues: “While inflation appears to be peaking, it’s not likely to come off at a pace fast enough to spur the type of sustained Fed pause the equity market is already discounting. Easing financial conditions and a strong July labor report likely further dampen the prospects for a more dovish policy path.”
This sort of warning signals it is time for some defensive plays, and this will naturally bring us to dividend stocks. These are the stocks which will ensure a steady income no matter the day-to-day market swings and protect the portfolio against any incoming volatility.
Bearing this in mind, we used the TipRanks’ database to zero-in on two stocks that are showing high dividend yields – on the order of 7% or more. According to Wall Street analysts, both of these stocks could generate a combination of considerable capital gains and dividend income – making them a potential double-fisted payday for investors.
Plains All American Pipeline (PAA)
We’ll start with Plains All American, one of North America’s major energy industry midstream companies. These firms exist between the wellheads and the customers, moving crude oil, natural gas, and natural liquids from the wells to the transport hubs, storage farms, and refineries that make up the physical network infrastructure of the oil industry.
Plains All American has a wide-ranging web of crude oil and natural gas liquid transport assets, including some 18,300 miles worth of pipelines, storage tanks, and terminal facilities, spread across North America from the Rockies of Alberta to the Gulf Coast, to Southern California, the Great Lakes, and the Chesapeake Bay. Plains also counts mobile assets in its portfolio, with title to over 2,100 trucks and trailers and approximately 6,000 petroleum tankers and NGL cars for railroad traffic.
A network that size is Big Business, with capital letters. Plains boasts a market cap higher than $8 billion, and saw nearly $30.1 billion in total revenues for 1H22. The company’s top line has been rising steadily since 2Q20, boosted by the post-COVID return to more normal business and the sharp increases in hydrocarbon prices. 2Q22 revenues came in at $16.35 billion, for a 67% year-over-year gain. Rising revenues have supported strong earnings, and the recent Q2 bottom line came in at 22 cents EPS, a steep turnaround from the 37-cent EPS loss posted in the year-ago quarter.
Plains also has a sound cash position, with $792 million in net cash from operations in 2Q22, and a cash asset stash of $6.66 billion as of June 30, up ~9% over the past 6 months.
The company’s solid financial results allow for a generous dividend. Plains pays out 21.75 cents per common share, which annualizes to 87 cents and gives a yield of 7.4%. This yield is more than triple the average dividend found among S&P-listed firms.
Looking at Plains for Stifel, analyst Selman Akyol gives an upbeat take on the broad picture: “As one of the largest transporters of Permian crude, Plains should be well positioned to capture incremental volumes over the next several years. Furthermore, we believe PAA’s JV with Oryx should allow for additional secured barrels to flow on PAA’s long haul pipes longer-term. Plains’ financial profile has improved considerably over the past couple years and recently increased its distribution by ~20%. Moving forward, we continue to expect PAA to generate significant FCF which will aid in returning incremental capital to stakeholders.”
Everything that Plains has going for it prompted Akyol to rate the stock a Buy. The cherry on top? His $16.00 price target implies ~37% upside from current levels. Based on the current dividend yield and the expected price appreciation, the stock has ~44% potential total return profile. (To watch Akyol’s track record, click here)
Overall, Plains has a Moderate Buy rating from the analyst consensus, based on an even split of 4 Buys and 4 Holds set in the last few weeks. The company’s stock sells for $11.72, and its $14.31 average price target indicates a possible 22% one-year upside. (See PAA stock forecast on TipRanks)
Granite Point Mortgage (GPMT)
The energy industry isn’t the only place to look for great dividends and share returns, though. Investors can also find these in the world of real estate investment trusts (REITs). Granite Point Mortgage operates in the commercial mortgage sector, where it originates loans and debt for commercial real estate investors. The company focuses on generating sound, risk-adjusted, long-term returns for shareholders, mainly through dividends.
The dividends needs a firm foundation, so before we look at them we should look at the company’s quarterly financial releases. Granite Point saw $49.3 million at top line in 2Q22 – mainly in interest income from loans-held-for-investment, but also including some cash income – which was roughly flat from the $49.4 million in the year-ago quarter. This supported a total distributable earnings of $11.7 million, or 22 cents per common share. The company ended 2Q22 with come $150 million in cash on hand.
These assets – revenues, distributable earnings, and liquid cash – supported a common share dividend of 25 cents per share, which was last paid out on July 15. At that rate, the dividend has an annualized payment of $1 and yield of 10%. Not only is this dividend 4x higher than the market average, it is also higher than the current year-on-year rate of inflation, ensuring investors a real rate of return from this stock.
Now moving to Wall Street, GPMT has attracted the attention of 5-star analyst Stephen Laws, from Raymond James. The analyst likes what he sees here, and notes that the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes will likely impact Granite Point positively in the near-term.
“We expect distributable earnings in 2H to remain near 2Q levels before increasing in 2023 as earnings benefit from increasing interest rates, increased origination activity, and replenishing repayments in the CLO with newly originated, wider spread loans. We are maintaining our Outperform rating given our outlook for distributable earnings growth in 2023 and the attractive risk-reward with shares currently trading at ~65% of book value and an annualized yield of ~10%,” Laws opined.
Laws’ Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating comes with a $13.50 price target, suggesting GPMT has room to grow ~35% in the year ahead. (To watch Laws’ track record, click here)
Overall, all three of the recent analyst reviews on this stock are positive, making the analyst consensus rating a Strong Buy. The shares are currently trading for $10 and their average price target of $13.25 implies a potential one-year gain of ~33%. (See GPMT stock forecast on TipRanks)

(NerdWallet) – Payments are currently suspended, without interest, for most federal student loan borrowers through Aug. 31, 2022. This policy does not apply to private student loans.
Borrowers can still make payments to lower their debt during this period of suspended payments, called a forbearance. According to the latest federal data, a total of 500,000 borrowers (about 1.16% of all 42.9 million federal loan borrowers) continued making payments during the pause. Contact your servicer if you have further questions.
» MORE: Can Student Loan Borrowers Handle Payments and Inflation, Too?
Make no mistake: This is a pause on payments, not forgiveness. Your debt will be waiting for you when repayment begins at the end of the forbearance, unless the policy changes again. While the Biden administration has said it plans to push for expedited $10,000 forgiveness for all federal borrowers, few observers believe such a bill could be moved through Congress quickly.
Until then, here’s how to decide what to do next.
If you want to pause payments
You don’t have to do anything to get a forbearance to stop student loan payments. Interest won’t continue to accrue, as it normally would.
A forbearance could give you breathing room to address other financial concerns.
If you are jobless or working reduced hours, a forbearance may free up cash to pay the rent and utilities or grocery bills. Even if your pay is unaffected, a forbearance could help you divert some money toward building an emergency fund or help you pay another, more pressing debt.
Usually forbearance is granted at the discretion of the servicer and interest will continue to build. In this case, the Education Department instructed all servicers to automatically place all loans into a forbearance without interest.
If you’re behind on your student loan payments (or get behind)
Federal loans with delinquent payments or defaulted loans will return to “good standing” status when payments start again on Sept. 1, 2022.
Default on federal loans happens when a payment is 270 days past due, sending your loan to collections and exposing you to damaged credit, garnished wages and seized tax refunds.
All collection activities are suspended through Aug. 31, 2022. You can get a refund for any forced student loan payments made since March 13, 2020. If your tax refund was seized before March 13, 2020, it will not be returned.
If your loans were already in forbearance, any interest that already accrued will still be added to your loan principal when your repayment begins, but during the current waiver no new interest will be calculated.
If you are seeking Public Service Loan Forgiveness
The automatic forbearance won’t undo your progress toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness, or PSLF. As long as you are still working with a qualifying employer, months spent in forbearance will count toward PSLF.
Making payments during the automatic forbearance won’t get you ahead on payments. You’re in the same boat whether you pay or not.
Under normal circumstances only full payments count. You also won’t lose credit for the payments you already made.
If you want to continue making payments
Borrowers might want to continue making payments on federal loans if they want to pay down their debt faster.
If you do continue making payments, you won’t pay any new interest on your loans during the forbearance. This 0% interest rate will save you money overall, even though your payment won’t be lower.
The full amount of your payment will be applied to the principal balance of your loan once all interest accrued prior to March 13 is paid.
Deciding whether or not to make a payment during this time will depend on your original repayment strategy:
- Those sticking to a standard repayment timeline (typically 10 years) could consider making payments. You likely won’t have much outstanding interest and additional payments can help you chip away at your principal during the break. To preserve your flexibility, we suggest opening a savings account and banking those monthly payments, then making a lump-sum payment against your highest-interest loan when repayment begins.
- Borrowers enrolled in income-driven repayment or planning to do so shouldn’t bother making payments now if the ultimate plan is to pay until the loans are forgiven — usually 20 or 25 years. If you want to pay off your loans sooner, then paying now could help you lower the total interest you owe on top of your principal.
- Borrowers seeking Public Service Loan Forgiveness do not need to make payments until at least Sept. 1, 2022. The months of automatic forbearance will count toward the 120 payments needed for forgiveness.
Contact your loan servicer with any questions about continuing or restarting payments during the forbearance period.
If your income has changed
If you experience a change in income and still want to keep your payments going, the best way to lower your payment to something more affordable is to apply for income-driven repayment. You’ll get a new payment that is based on your family size and a percentage of discretionary income, and it will be in effect even after relief has expired. You can apply online at studentaid.gov.
If you are already enrolled in an income-driven plan, make sure to update your income if it has changed due to the economic downturn.
If you were supposed to recertify your plan before Aug. 31, 2022, you’ll now have an additional time to do so. IDR recertification dates have been extended until at least March 2023. Borrowers will be notified when it is time to recertify. Temporarily, borrowers with direct loans can self-report their income when applying for or recertifying an IDR plan. That means you own’t have to submit tax documentation, but you will need to select “I’ll report my own income information” in Step 2 (Income Information) of the IDR application. This option ends Feb. 28.2023.
If you have FFEL Loans
If you have Federal Family Education Loans (FFEL), you are entitled to receive the no-interest forbearance only if the government owns the loans. This won’t be most FFEL borrowers — most of the loans from the now-defunct program are commercially held.
You can find out who owns your loans by logging in to studentaid.gov using your FSA ID.
The only way to get the forbearance for commercially held FFEL loans is to consolidate your debt into a new direct loan. But there are downsides to consolidation:
- Your repayment term will be extended.
- Your interest rate will increase slightly.
- Any unpaid interest will capitalize and be added to the total amount you owe.
Temporary interest-free payments may not be worth those additional long-term costs.
Plus, if you’re already making payments on an income based repayment (IBR) plan, those previous payments will no longer count toward forgiveness. You’ll have to start all over.
Consolidation can make sense if you have FFEL loans and want to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Otherwise, stick with your current loans.
If you’ve experienced a change in income, you can enroll in IBR or recertify early, if you’re already on this plan. IBR will still take into account your spouse’s income. Your loans are also eligible for unemployment deferment, which may make sense if you’ve lost your job but expect to start working again soon.
How to work with your servicer
If you want to restart payments during the automatic forbearance, contact your student loan servicer — it’s the private company that manages payment of your federal loans. But you don’t have to do anything to get the forbearance or the 0% interest rate.
To find out which loan servicer is yours, log in to studentaid.gov with your FSA ID.
You can get in touch with all of the loan servicer contact centers by calling 1-800-4-FED-AID.

MELIPEUCO, Chile (AP) — Mist suddenly arose from the Truful Truful River as it flowed below the snow-covered Llaima volcano, and Victor Curin smiled at the sun-dappled water spray.
A leader in one of the Indigenous communities by the river’s shores in the Chilean Andes, Curin took it as a sign that the waterfall’s ngen — its owner and protector spirit — approved of his visit and prayer that mid-July morning.
“Nature always tells you something, always answers,” said Curin, who works as a park ranger in Conguillio National Park, at the river’s headwaters. “Human beings feel superior to the space where they go, but for us Mapuche, I belong to the earth, the earth doesn’t belong to me.”
In the worldview of the Mapuche, Chile’s largest Indigenous group and more than 10% of its population, a pristine river is home to a spiritual force to revere, not a natural resource to exploit.
That has led many Mapuche across Chile’s water-rich south to fight hydroelectric plants and other projects they see as desecrating nature and depriving Indigenous communities of essential energies that keep them from getting sick.
“Being part of nature, we cannot destroy part of ourselves,” said Lientur Ayenao, a machi or healer and spiritual guide who draws water from the Truful Truful for his ceremonies. “You have to keep the balance, and this is broken when one intervenes in natural spaces for a selfish purpose.”
___
Some 200 miles to the south, another machi, Millaray Huichalaf, has led a sometimes-violent battle against hydroelectric plants on the Pilmaiquen River, which flows through rolling pastures from a lake in the Andes’ foothills.
After her resistance and cultural consultations with Indigenous communities, an energy company froze plans for a plant by a riverside sacred site and said it would return ownership of the land to the Mapuche.
But construction is continuing on another plant, so the fight isn’t over — just as it isn’t on the Truful Truful, where a proposed plant is under review.
“I am the river too, we’re as sacred as the river,” Huichalaf said as a thunderstorm pounded her wooden cabin. “At the same time as we’re fighting for the river, we’re in the process of territorial recovery and spiritual reconstruction.”
It’s on the question of rights over Indigenous land, a volatile issue in Chile’s politics, that spirituality gets entangled with ideology. Several Mapuche leaders say spirits appearing in dreams encourage the fight against capitalism in their ancestral territory.
Next month, Chileans will vote on a new and controversial constitution spotlighting Indigenous rights and land restitution. But they’re also dealing with growing violent attacks against agricultural, logging and energy industries, particularly in the Araucania region, including by some groups claiming Mapuche ancestral lands that were never fully conquered by the Spanish empire and only fell to the Chilean state at the end of the 19th century.
For most Mapuche, such violence further destabilizes the desired balance between people, the natural space they belong to and the spirits that inhabit it. A first step against it is to ensure non-Natives understand how nature matters to the Mapuche, Indigenous leader and mediator Andrés Antivil Álvarez said.
“The world is not loot. Everything that’s outside is also inside ourselves,” he said, sitting by the fire in his ruka, a traditional building outside his house near Araucania’s capital, a two-hour drive from the Truful Truful. “You have to understand that the spirit of this fire, present here, is as sacred as the Christ in a church.”
And trampling a crucifix — as some protesters did in 2019 mass uprisings — is as painful and evil as damming a river, he said. He cited as an example construction in the early 2000s of the Ralco dam, which flooded sacred compounds and generated an uproar that prevented similar massive projects and energized cultural resistance to smaller ones.
___
Mapuche community members’ reverence is evident when they walk alongside rivers like the Truful Truful, whose name means “from waterfall to waterfall” in the Mapudungun language.
On a chilly afternoon, Ayenao approached the river’s largest waterfall, the proposed site of a new hydroelectric plant, with a bag of seeds in his pocket. That would be a reciprocity offering for the river’s ngen should Ayenao decide to draw water to treat his patients’ physical and spiritual ailments.
“Ngen existed before us and it’s they who allow us to live in a place. And there are some predominant ngen to whom we need to pray” like the Truful Truful’s, he said.
Failure to ask the ngen’s permission to approach the water, or to explain the need to do so, means transgressing on the space, alienating the spirits protecting it and making you, your family and even your animals sick.
But if the ngen permits it, then Ayenao can use the falling water’s distinctive “energy power” for healing purposes, either in riverside ceremonies or by taking large soda bottles full of it back to his house.
Relocated to Temuco when he was 6, Ayenao eventually moved to Santiago, Chile’s capital, to study and there got so sick he couldn’t walk or talk. His family realized the only remedy was to accept that the spirit of his great-grandmother, also a healer, was asking to come back in him.
He apprenticed for three years and returned to practice traditional medicine on a tiny plot of land in the broad valley downstream from the village of Melipueco, named for the union of the Truful Truful and three other waterways.
Now the spirit of a nearby river where a fish farm is planned has been asking in dreams for Ayenao’s help.
“The ngen asks me and demands of me that I need to protect it, and thus contribute to health,” said Ayenao, 28. “We as human beings … are the messengers of the ngen mapu to stop” the extraction and sale of natural resources.
___
More spiritual guides like Ayenao are needed to remedy the loss of environmental, medicinal and linguistic knowledge caused by enforced assimilation policies in the past, when many Indigenous people grew up alienated from their roots in marginalized big-city settlements, said Artemio Huenupi, a Mapuche elder.
“Our wisdom is entirely based on the territory of nature. We live in this space to take care of it. It’s other cultures that say that they own the land,” he added, speaking in the small museum of Mapuche culture he curates in Melipeuco.
At a July nighttime village concert to raise funds for Ayenao’s thatched-roof gathering space, community members recounted how they have banded together to oppose a hydroelectric plant on the Truful Truful.
After nearly a decade of multiple environmental and cultural evaluations, as well as legal appeals, the plant has been temporarily blocked in court, said Claudio Melillan, a Melipeuco city councilor who recently returned to his ancestral lands for what he called “a stage of reconstruction” of his Mapuche identity.
The community hopes a final ruling will definitively scuttle the project, which threatens to harm the waterfall that’s considered a crucial source of spiritual energy, said Sergio Millaman, the attorney who won the latest appeal.
But some human impact is already evident, from an increase in tourism to the diminished flow compared with the powerful river many remember from their childhood.
Despite this winter’s abundant rain and snowfall, Chile is facing a worrisome climate change-driven drought, which has compounded tensions over water use, said Juan Pablo Herane, a hydrology expert with the Global Change Center at Santiago’s Catholic University.
In April, after more than a decade’s legal wrangling, the country’s water code was updated to better protect various rights including the use of water at its source for conservation or ancestral customs, said Juan José Crocco, an attorney specializing in water regulation and management.
It’s unclear, however, if a new constitution might alter that and how the code will be implemented in the case of hydroelectric plants that technically don’t extract water but reroute it to create energy, said Benjamín Bulnes, a water rights attorney who worked on the new code and has fished on the Pilmaiquen River.
___
The first hydroelectric plant on the Pilmaiquen, built in the mid-20th century, sits across the road from a Mapuche-administered botanical garden spotlighting native trees.
A bitter battle under Huichalaf’s leadership started a decade ago to stop three other plants several miles downstream. Like Ayenao, she got seriously ill as a child in the nearby city of Osorno until her family realized it was an ancestor’s spirit wanting to come back in her as a healer.
During years of training to assume that role, she started having dreams about Kintuantü, a ngen living by a broad bend of the Pilmaiquen.
“I am a medium of energy. Through dreams and visions in trance, Kintuantü told me that I had to speak for him because he was dying,” Huichalaf said.
A plant would have raised the river right to the cliffside caves where the ngen lives. Atop the cliff is a Mapuche ceremonial compound, including a cemetery, from where souls are believed to travel via underground water flows through the caves, into the Pilmaiquen and on to eventual reincarnation.
Huichalaf led an occupation there. A private home burned down, and protesters clashed with police. More protests and lawsuits followed, dividing the Indigenous communities around the river.
Huichalaf was jailed for several months. But she said she doesn’t fear prison because she managed to save the site, where she gathers medicinal herbs and performs sacred ceremonies: “The ngen is still there.”
Statkraft, the Norwegian state-owned energy company that bought the Pilmaiquen projects, is working with the Chilean government to return ownership of the ceremonial compound. Construction was stopped after the company realized the proposed plant’s cultural impact was “unacceptable,” said Statkraft’s Chile manager, María Teresa González.
González said the company learned the importance of understanding the Indigenous worldview and engaging different communities from the start, and it’s doing just that with another plant being constructed on the Pilmaiquen.
But she condemned ongoing violence such as the recent burning of a truck carrying a half-dozen workers. Nobody has been charged in the late June attack.
For Huichalaf, the fight continues: “Our big goal is that the companies on the river will leave.”
___
Back on the black volcanic field crossed by the Truful Truful, as a snowstorm approached a nearby peak with thousand-year-old araucaria trees, Curin defined his people’s goal in more essential terms.
“What does the Mapuche world fight for? What does the Mapuche world protect? Not a world of money,” he said. “Mapuche culture is very spiritual, very much of the heart. It’s not random that we’re still here.”
Then he knelt to sip from the river’s water and got back to his park ranger post.

A California school district has lifted its policy requiring students to wear masks inside after a 4-year-old student without a face covering was sent home Thursday in a caught-on-camera incident that resulted in a police response.
The encounter that preceded the policy reversal at the Mountain View Whisman School District was recorded on a cellphone by the boy’s father, who has since spoken out against the old directive.
Video posted to YouTube shows the maskless youngster jogging into Theuerkauf Elementary School in Mountainview when a the school’s principal, Michelle Williams, intervened.
“I welcome him here and I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, I want him here but it is our district’s policy to have to wear a mask,” Williams tells the boy’s father.
The clip later shows the boy escorted out of his classroom by Williams with a slip of paper. He runs over to his father and innocently asks, “Daddy, what does it say?” video shows.
A police officer was also called to the school and spoke briefly with the father, according to the footage.
“I just think it’s time to move forward, the kids need to see faces, they need to see people smiling, they need to have a brighter outlook on the future in general,” the father, who only identified himself as Shawn, told ABC7.
The father said he recorded the video to share with fellow parents.
His son, he said, has developmental issues and won’t keep his mask on. As a result, he couldn’t go to school.
“I’m watching my son. I’m waking him up every day to go to school, get turned away with tears in his eyes,” Shawn said. “He doesn’t know what’s going on, he’s visibly upset, visibly disheveled by getting turned away and rejected.”
The father’s attorney, Tracy Henderson with the California Parents Union, said the school broke the law by sending the child home.
“The school’s authority in a situation of public health issues, by law, is only to send a sick child home,” she told ABC7.
After Shawn shared the video, the school board made masks optional in schools at Thursday night’s board meeting.
“We are now in the medium tier, so starting tomorrow, we are now in “masks optional” for students,” said Superintendent Ayinde Rudolph, the outlet reported.
Rudolph noted that 50 students and 12 staff members had tested positive for COVID-19 in the first five days of class.
Masks will still be required on buses, at large events and for school visitors, according to the outlet. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/california-school-lifts-mask-mandate-after-4-year-old-sent-home/306420/ | 2022-08-20T16:22:04Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/california-school-lifts-mask-mandate-after-4-year-old-sent-home/306420/ | true | 2 |
Potential tropical storm heads for Mexico, Texas Gulf coast
Published: Aug. 20, 2022 at 12:19 PM EDT|Updated: 11 minutes ago
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A potential tropical storm is heading for the U.S.-Mexico border area, and could cause rains and flash flooding in northeastern Mexico and south Texas.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Saturday that potential Tropical Cyclone Four was located about 165 miles (270 kilometers) south-southeast of the mouth of the Rio Grande.
That area includes the Mexican border city of Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
The disturbance was moving northwest at 13 mph ( 20 kph), and could become a tropical storm before hitting land late Saturday.

That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N.

Man who threw eggs on Siddaramaiah's car a Congress worker, claims BJP leader
If it is proved that he is our party member, then we will expel him..., the MLA told reporters.According to the legislator, Sampath is in the construction industry and works as a bar bender, while adding that Sampaths father Sundaramurthy was in the BJP.Responding to the MLAs claims, Sampath said he is indeed a Congress worker and was upset with his party leader Siddaramaiahs alleged remarks made in the past that the Kodavas eat beef.I threw eggs because of Siddaramaiahs statement, not because of the protest organised by BJP.
- Country:
- India
A man who hurled eggs at Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka assembly, Siddaramaiah’s car during his visit to Kodagu district to inspect rain-related damages, was a Congress worker, a BJP MLA claimed on Saturday.
Sampath was among a number of BJP activists who were arrested for staging a protest against Siddaramaiah on August 18.
A video of the incident in which Sampath is purportedly seen throwing eggs on Siddaramaiah's car has gone viral. However, maintaining distance from Sampath, BJP legislator M P Appachu Ranjan claimed that Sampath was not a BJP activist but a Congress worker.
''There are photos of Sampath holding the Congress flag, shawl and banner. If it is proved that he is our party member, then we will expel him...,'' the MLA told reporters.
According to the legislator, Sampath is in the construction industry and works as a bar bender, while adding that Sampath’s father Sundaramurthy was in the BJP.
Responding to the MLA's claims, Sampath said he is indeed a Congress worker and was upset with his party leader Siddaramaiah's alleged remarks made in the past that the Kodavas eat beef.
''I threw eggs because of Siddaramaiah's statement, not because of the protest (organised by BJP). Because of his (Siddaramaiah's) derogatory comments that the people of Kodagu eat beef and statements in favour of Tipu Sultan,'' Sampath told reporters here.
He said many people in Kodagu dislike Tipu Sultan, the 18th century Mysuru ruler. ''I did not like his (Siddaramaiah's) statements. I am a Hindu first and then a Congress worker,'' he added.
Sampath said he had come from Somawarpet to Madikeri, the district headquarter town of Kodagu, for some personal work. He went to have food near the place where he supposedly saw the Bharatiya Janata Party Youth Wing activists protesting against Siddaramaiah's visit.
During his visit to Kodagu to inspect the rain-related damage two days ago, Congress stalwart Siddaramaiah faced the ire of BJP activists who blocked the road and raised slogans against him.
The activists vented their anger against Siddaramaiah's statement following violent clashes in Shivamogga district on August 15 questioning the saffron party workers for putting up Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar's poster in an area predominated by Muslims.
They were also opposing him for organising Tipu Jayanthi when he was the Chief Minister of the state. As CM, Siddaramaiah had started Tipu Jayanthi celebrations to pay tribute to the 18th century ruler of Mysuru.
Some Hindutva activists in Kodagu allege that Tipu Sultan had carried out large-scale conversion and killings of Kodavas, the native community of Kodagu district, during his rule. During Tipu Jayanthi in November 2015, which the then Congress government had organised, widespread protests broke out in many parts of Karnataka, especially in Madikeri.
In light of the MLA's assertions, Siddaramaiah lashed out at Ranjan for giving a twist to the egg thrower's party affiliation.
''If the person who threw the eggs was a Congress worker, why did MLA Appachu Ranjan have to go to the police station late at night and get him released? Did you set him free with a condition that he will be released from the police only if he claims himself to be a Congressman?'' the Congress leader tweeted in Kannada.
He further said, ''We were under the impression that 'Operation Lotus' is only for MLAs. Now, it has been proved in Madikeri that 'Operation Lotus' is conducted on the 'street thugs' as well.'' 'Operation Lotus' refers to the BJP's alleged practice of toppling governments by inducing MLAs from other parties.
Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah and his loyalists are mulling over taking out a 'Madikeri Chalo', a march to Madikeri.
It is expected to be similar to the 'Ballari Chalo' movement taken out by the Congress leader in 2010 against the rampant illegal mining of iron ore in the district.

Fazilka, August 17
Students of MR Government College, under the banner of Punjab Students Union, gheraoed the office of Aam Aadmi Party to protest the hike in college fee by 10 percent.
Dheeraj Kumar of the union alleged the SC students were also being charged the fee despite the fact that scholarship had not been released for them and the government could not demand the fee without it.
The students rued that the increase in fee had put an additional burden of Rs 800 on them and most students belonged to poor families. The protest had been going on for the past 12 days, but the pupils claimed that no one had paid heed to their demands. They also submitted a memorandum to AAP district chief. | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/punjab/pupils-protest-fee-hike-gherao-aap-office-in-fazilka-422730 | 2022-08-20T16:46:21Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/punjab/pupils-protest-fee-hike-gherao-aap-office-in-fazilka-422730 | false | null |
After weeks and weeks of being in limbo, the Cleveland Browns now know that they will be without quarterback Deshaun Watson for the first 11 games of this season because of his suspension resulting from his sexual misconduct allegations.
It’s an unfortunate number of games, as it means they will not have him for their toughest stretch of the season.
That stretch begins in Week 5 with a game versus the Los Angeles Chargers and runs until their Week 12 tilt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
As it stands, the talented roster executive Andrew Berry has put together on both sides of the football will largely go to waste with career backup Jacoby Brissett starting under center for the majority of the schedule.
But the Browns should still have the opportunity to change that by trading for veteran QB Jimmy Garoppolo, should they choose to do so.
.@RealTannenbaum says if he's the Browns, he'd be on the phone with the 49ers to get Jimmy Garoppolo.
"I'm not getting off the phone until we have a deal!" pic.twitter.com/LYQBlfv5X7
— Get Up (@GetUpESPN) August 16, 2022
Jason Lloyd, a Cleveland sports columnist for The Athletic, was adamant in a Friday article that the team go after him.
“The Cleveland Browns have a problem. Inexplicably, it remains the same issue they’ve had for the better part of the last 20 years,” Lloyd wrote.
“The Browns need a quarterback. Again.
“Eleven games isn’t a headache. It’s a head wound.
“It’s time to go get Jimmy Garoppolo.”
Brissett Just Won’t Cut It
In six NFL seasons, Brissett hasn’t really done anything to prove he is a starting-caliber NFL QB.
He has started just 37 of the 60 games he has played in, and overall, he has completed just 60.2 percent of his passes while posting a passer rating of just 83.0.
Brissett also has the tendency to get sacked, something that has happened 106 times in his career.
That may not seem like a lot in 60 contests, but his career sack rate of 8.1 percent is rather high.
Berry can say what he wants publicly about how confident he is in having Brissett under center while Watson is out, but the 29-year-old simply doesn’t seem like the man who can keep Cleveland’s playoff hopes alive while Watson is doing his sentence.
Lloyd didn’t pull any punches when describing how inept Brissett is.
“Brissett is a journeyman backup. He’s fine in small doses, but as someone who watched him closely when he was a starter for the Colts told me, the more he plays, the more he’s exposed. The Browns can’t risk their season to a backup.
“Garoppolo’s worst season as a starter is better than Brissett’s best in terms of quarterback rating.
Garoppolo Would Be The Ideal Solution
Yes, Garoppolo is injury-prone.
Yes, Garoppolo is prone to throwing interceptions.
Yes, Garoppolo isn’t the best in crunch time in big games.
But despite those flaws, he could do very well to keep the Browns in the playoff hunt until Week 13.
Since being traded to the San Francisco 49ers midway through the 2017 season, he has had a 31-14 record as a starter for them.
He has taken them to the NFC Championship Game twice and the Super Bowl once in just the last three seasons.
In that span, Garoppolo has completed 68.5 percent of his passes, thrown 54 touchdown passes in 37 contests and achieved a very robust passer rating of 99.4.
Jimmy Garoppolo had the best Completion Rate Under Pressure last NFL Season at 58.6%.

It is understandable that the Browns may not want to trade for him because of his contract, which will pay him well over $20 million this season.
It has been speculated that if they cough up a draft pick, perhaps the 49ers would be willing to take care of a good portion of that money.
Some would say the Browns should simply wait for Garoppolo to be released within the next few weeks, but that would give him very little time to learn coach Kevin Stefanski’s playbook and build chemistry with their players.
Plus, in that scenario, he could simply decide to go to another team and leave Cleveland high and dry. | https://www.brownsnation.com/browns-columnist-says-team-must-trade-for-jimmy-garoppolo/ | 2022-08-20T16:48:55Z | https://www.brownsnation.com/browns-columnist-says-team-must-trade-for-jimmy-garoppolo/ | false | 1 |

Aleksandar Mitrovic’s last-minute powerhouse header snatched Fulham a 3-2 Premier League win over local rivals Brentford at a rocking Craven Cottage.
The Serbia striker converted Kevin Mbabu’s teasing far-post cross at the last, just as Fulham were fearing to have squandered victory after surrendering the 2-0 lead they established inside the opening 20 minutes.
Marco Silva’s men sealed their first win of the new Premier League campaign thanks to Mitrovic’s second goal of the term – but also two disallowed goals from Ivan Toney.
Brentford striker Toney saw two fine finishes ruled out for offside, only to make it what he thought would be third time lucky when he tapped home to level the scores at 2-2 in 71st minute, with the Bees then expecting to steal at least a point.
However, Mitrovic grabbed the last word for Fulham in another hugely entertaining and high-quality top-flight battle.
Bobby Decordova-Reid had Fulham 1-0 to the good after just 45 seconds, before Joao Palhinha doubled that lead with a powerful header.
Christian Norgaard and deadly striker Toney dragged Thomas Frank’s impressive Brentford back into the equation, but despite that commendable rally Fulham still found another gear.
The promoted Cottagers can now look proudly back on an opening three games comprising creditable draws against Liverpool and Wolves – and now a win snatched in front of watching owner Shahid Khan.
Decordova-Reid had Fulham in front before Brentford had hardly even blinked, let alone settled down.
Mitrovic cut a low ball square into the six-yard box, Jay Stansfield’s strike was deflected onto the bar and back into the goalmouth and Decordova-Reid broke first from the melee to tap home.
Mitrovic thought he had doubled the lead by tapping in after David Raya palmed away his header.
But the Serbian was offside from the initial cross and the goal was chalked off without delay or argument.
Palhinha did make it 2-0 just a matter of minutes later however, thumping in a fine header from Andreas Pereira’s corner.
Either of Mitrovic or Palhinha could have buried the chance, with the Whites duo queuing up to latch onto the cross.
But Portugal midfielder Palhinha delivered, clearly relishing his first goal for the south west Londoners.
The hosts had dominated the opening half-hour with precious little by way of Brentford riposte.
Yoane Wissa’s underpowered header straight at Bernd Leno offered a minor warning shot from the visitors.
And that set the tone for Frank’s men to battle back into the contest.
Norgaard’s crisp volley nestled inside the post from Mathias Jensen’s corner as Brentford troubled the scorers and struck doubt into Fulham minds.
Fulham took that 2-1 lead into half-time, but then wound up very lucky not to concede again straight after the break.
Toney drilled home on the spin to cap a fine Bees raid, only for VAR to strike off the effort for offside.
Fulham sharpened up quickly after that major reprieve, but Mitrovic saw his firm strike rebuffed by Raya after breaking clean through.
Toney had the ball in the net for a second time for Brentford just past the hour, but again the striker was offside.
Mitrovic thought he had scored after meeting Mbabu’s fine cross with a thumping header, only for Raya to produce an instinctive parry.
Just as Fulham started to fear the worst however, up popped Mitrovic to power home a far-post header and snatch back the lead at the end.
Mbabu’s influential cameo paid dividends as it was the wideman’s ball that allowed Mitrovic to bury the winner. | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/08/20/aleksandar-mitrovic-nets-last-gasp-winner-as-fulham-edge-out-rivals-brentford/ | 2022-08-20T17:06:30Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/08/20/aleksandar-mitrovic-nets-last-gasp-winner-as-fulham-edge-out-rivals-brentford/ | true | 9 |

Responding sheriff's deputies found his Ford Mustang, down an embankment, engulfed in flames.
A short time later, they located Ebler who was uncooperative. He appeared impaired and sustained minor injuries in the crash, police said.

Further investigation revealed Ebler had just been involved in a traffic altercation with a 40-year-old Gurnee man near Wadsworth and Delaney in Wadsworth, the sheriff's office said.
During the altercation, Ebler brandished a pistol and threatened to shoot the man while they were stopped at a stoplight, said police. The victim fled in his vehicle but Ebler allegedly followed him, pulled next to him and pointed the firearm toward him. That's when Ebler lost control and crashed, police said.
According to the sheriff's office, their canine Dax found Ebler's Glock 29 about 150 feet from his vehicle.
Ebler is charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.

MATTAPOISETT, Mass. (AP) — A huge fire at a Massachusetts marina turned several boats, buildings and vehicles into burned-out shells Friday, producing a plume of black smoke so thick it was picked up by weather radar.
Aerial video taken by WCVB-TV showed much of the boatyard in Mattapoisett engulfed in flames, with the fire apparently limited to buildings and boats on land. A firefighting vessel could be seen pulled up to the dock, getting as close as possible as it sprayed a jet of water onto one of the smoldering sailboats.
“A boat caught fire in one of the sheds, and it went up very, very fast,” Tim Price, a mechanic at the boatyard, told WJAR-TV. “Everything went up. I think we lost everything.”
Price said he knew of one person who was injured, but did not elaborate.
The cause of blaze is under investigation, and officials at the Mattapoisett fire and police departments said no one was available to comment. Firefighters from around the region responded to the blaze, including from as far as Providence, Rhode Island, about 30 miles away.
Drought conditions and high winds Friday in the Mattapoisett area had prompted the National Weather Service to issue a warning of elevated fire risk. The blaze at the marina sent dense black smoke over southeastern Massachusetts that could be seen for miles.
The Weather Service said on Twitter that its radar had detected “what is most likely a smoke plume” in Mattapoisett.
Mattapoisett resident Richard Walker, 72, was heading out on a motorcycle ride when he spotted the cloud of smoke. He said he could see it 5 miles (8 kilometers) away as he continued on his ride.
“There were flames and billowing black smoke. So much of it,” Walker said. “Thankfully, it looks like a lot of people had their boats out in the harbor. There didn’t seem to be too many in the yard.”
Pamela Fleming saw the fire from the back deck of her summer home. She said the fire knocked out power to the area and forced the closure of a road to a popular beach and lighthouse just beyond the marina.
“The popping sounds of all the fuel and other combustibles exploding was very eerie,” Fleming said. “The smoke was aggressively billowing from the area. As soon as it rose, there was more black heavy rolling smoke to take its place.”
Several other people posted images and video of the fire and smoke on social media.
The Mattapoisett Boatyard’s website says it’s been a family-owned marina since 1962, catering primarily to recreational boaters, and has the capacity to store up to 150 vessels during the summer that aren’t in use or are for sale. | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/national/large-fire-consumes-boats-vehicles-at-boatyard/ | 2022-08-20T17:26:38Z | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/national/large-fire-consumes-boats-vehicles-at-boatyard/ | true | 23 |

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 members aboard the tanker Ryoshinmaru and 14 Chinese crew members aboard the Belize-registered cargo ship Xin Hai 99.
Early Saturday’s crash 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 sent to the scene and GPS records 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. | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/national-world/chemical-tanker-cargo-ship-crash-near-southwestern-japan/ | 2022-08-20T17:30:30Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/national-world/chemical-tanker-cargo-ship-crash-near-southwestern-japan/ | true | 20 |

They're the classics for a reason
Sure, nail art is super fun and the different looks being offered at London’s best nail salons go way beyond the days of novelty cartoon drawings on index fingers. But as a beauty editor, there is nothing that I like more than a simple fresh manicure consisting of one solid shade.
Of course, there is a time and a place for being more playful – I always go for something a little more adventurous and cute for my Valentine’s Day nails – but for my everyday look I’m not interested in having fun nails, I want to look smart, sophisticated and expensive.
Perhaps it’s my age? I’m well and truly into my mid-thirties now and want to look the part. And I do this with the help of some of the beauty industry’s chicest nail shades. I rely on these five shades to help me elevate my everyday look.
1. A sheer nude
Christian Louboutin Beauty Nail Colour in Iriclare, £45 | Cult Beauty
I apply this super pale nude when I want my nails to look as natural as possible, but still polished. Much like the best CC cream, it corrects any areas of discolouration and creates the most perfect base. Whilst dreadfully tricky to cart around in your make-up bag – that spike could cause some serious damage – Christian Louboutin’s nail lacquers are really brilliant. Long-lasting with a beautiful colour payoff.
2. A dark burgundy
Max Factor Masterpiece Xpress 60s Nail Polish in Mellow Merlot, £5.99 | Boots
I absolutely love a glass of red wine (who am I kidding, I absolutely love six glasses of red wine). There’s just something about the colour. The deep red just calls to me. And that translates rather nicely onto the nail too. Perhaps it’s the French vibe? But a dark rouge nail just looks sophisticated. I tend to use this mostly in autumn and winter when you can most likely find me in the corner of a cosy pub drinking a glass of red wine.
3. A greige
Nailberry L’Oxygéné Breathable Nail Polish in Cocoa Cabana, £15
I am fairly new to this shade. I would have typically shied away from anything that came under the ‘brown’ category. But a cross-over between a beige and a grey works really well on the nails. Nailberry’s Cocoa Cabana is the equivalent of a cashmere jumper on the nails. An ideal weekend colour.
4. A pillar box red
Rimmel Super Gel Colour in Flamenco Beach, £6.26 | Amazon
I couldn’t compile a list of my favourite nail polish shades and not include a primary red. It’s the classic colour that works really well all year round. Whenever I cannot decide on a shade in the nail salon I go for a pillar box red. Rimmel’s Super Gel is the closest I’ve come to finding an at-home manicure that can rival my beloved in-salon gels. Be sure to use the top coat too to cure it.
5. A pale pink
Essie Nail Lacquer in Mademoiselle, £7.99 | Lookfantastic
Most people will tell you that Ballet Slippers by Essie is the perfect pale pink. Unfortunately for them, all of these people are wrong. Because the perfect pale pink shade is in fact, Mademoiselle. The brand calls it a ‘grown-up pink’ and I couldn’t agree more. It’s not the childish hues of your early years – this isn’t baby pink. The high shine finish makes it expensive looking and the colour is a heightened, more perfected version of your natural nail. | https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/beauty/make-up/best-nail-polish-shades-792334 | 2022-08-20T17:43:06Z | https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/beauty/make-up/best-nail-polish-shades-792334 | false | 1 |

Walmart, the nation’s largest employer, is expanding its abortion coverage for employees after staying largely mum on the issue following the Supreme Court ruling that scrapped a nationwide right to abortion.
In a memo sent to employees on Friday, the company said its health care plans will now cover abortion for employees “when there is a health risk to the mother, rape or incest, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or lack of fetal viability.”
Previously, the company’s benefits plan had covered abortion only in cases “when the health of the mother would be in danger if the fetus were carried to term, the fetus could not survive the birthing process, or death would be imminent after birth,” according to a copy of the policy viewed by The Associated Press but not confirmed by Walmart.
Donna Morris, the retailer’s chief people officer, said in the memo to staff that the new policy will also offer “travel support” for workers seeking abortions covered under its health care plans — as well as their dependents — so they can access services that are not available within 100 miles of their locations.
Walmart employs nearly 1.6 million people in the U.S. In Arkansas, where the company is based, abortion is banned under all circumstances unless the procedure is needed to protect the life of the mother in a medical emergency. There are no exceptions for rape or incest. That means under the revised policy, Walmart employees can travel out of the state — or any other state that bans abortion for rape and incest — to obtain the procedure through the retailer’s health plans.
Several companies — including Meta, American Express and Bank of America — have said they will cover travel costs for their employees in the aftermath of the high court ruling that tossed out Roe v. Wade, including elective abortions. But a Walmart spokesperson did not immediately reply for a request for comment on whether any of the company’s revised policy will cover elective abortions as well.
“It’s a step in the right direction, but it’s simply not far enough for a company that employs that many women,” said Bianca Agustin, director of corporate accountability program for United for Respect, a group that advocates for Walmart workers. She said the organization will be incorporating “safe abortions” for employees in their list of demands pressing the company for better pay and benefits.
Meanwhile, many other corporations, and organizations that represent some of the nation’s most powerful companies, have continued to stay quiet on the issue.
The careful expansion of Walmart’s abortion policy shows it is attempting to balance different pressures and opinions from employees, investors and other stakeholders, said Vanessa Burbano, a professor at Columbia University’s business school who researchers how companies take social stances.
“It’s much trickier than a lot of people initially think it is,” Burbano said. “It’s not like all of their stakeholders are of the same opinion on any of these issues, which is what makes it so challenging. They’re trying to figure out how to thread that needle.”
In the memo sent Friday, the company said it will also launch a center that provides fertility services to employees, such as in vitro fertilization. Additionally, it vowed to add surrogacy support and increase its financial aid for adoptions from $5,000 to $20,000. In June, Walmart said it would expand its offering of doulas — or people who assist women during pregnancies — to address racial disparities in maternal care. | https://www.ualrpublicradio.org/2022-08-20/walmart-expands-abortion-coverage-for-employees | 2022-08-20T17:48:57Z | https://www.ualrpublicradio.org/2022-08-20/walmart-expands-abortion-coverage-for-employees | false | 38 |

Evansville man charged with sexual misconduct with a minor
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - Evansville Police say they have arrested a man who a victim claims raped her.
18-year-old Vash Drysdale is charged with sexual misconduct with a minor.
Police say the victim told her mom she was at a home while underage drinking was going on, and she was raped by a man.
Officers say they spotted Drysdale at the home on Bayard Park, and he agreed to speak with them.
They say at first, he denied the allegations and told them he didn’t know the girl. They say Drysdale told them she was just at the same party, and as far as he knew she was 16.
After he was asked for a DNA sample, police say Drysdale told them he lied. He said he did know the girl, and they had sex. Officers say he said “I understand she’s 15... or 16... old is the girl?.... I know she can’t give consent.”
Police say Drysdale told them she never told him to stop, but only put her hand out in a way that let him know to stop. So, he says he did.
Police say there is not enough evidence to support the rape claim.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top Treasury Department official is set next week to make his first official trip to India since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Amid tensions over India’s neutral stance on the invasion that began in late February, the U.S. wants the meetings to focus on how to deepen ties with the South Asian nation.
Treasury Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo will travel to Mumbai and New Delhi for meetings that include Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office, the finance ministry, the Reserve Bank of India, and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
And as India is set to lead the Group of 20 intergovernmental forum in 2023, Treasury says Adeyemo will “discuss key shared priorities such as bolstering energy security, addressing food insecurity globally, and combatting illicit financial flows.”
India hasn’t shunned Russia despite its membership in the regional Quad alliance with the U.S., Australia and Japan, Instead, it has maintained its business ties with Russia, depending on the Kremlin for energy and other exports.
The nation has boosted its purchase of Russian oil, buying roughly 60 million barrels in 2022 so far, compared with only 12 million barrels in all of 2021, according to commodity data firm Kpler.
The U.S. and Europe, however, are moving away from Russian energy — with Treasury officials promoting a price cap on Russian oil.
A Treasury statement says Adeyemo will meet with financial services and energy sectors executives in Mumbai and will speak about strengthening economic ties between the U.S. and India.
He will also underscore “our two countries’ deep economic, security, and cultural ties” and discuss ways to build “more resilient supply chains” through the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework that India joined as a founding member in May.
India is the world’s second-most populous country and largest democracy based on a population of 1.4 billion.
On Sunday, President Joe Biden issued a statement celebrating India’s 75th anniversary of independence, calling the U.S. and India “indispensable partners.” | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/us-treasury-official-to-visit-india-amid-ukraine-tensions/ | 2022-08-20T17:53:26Z | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/us-treasury-official-to-visit-india-amid-ukraine-tensions/ | false | 37 |
Chris Wallace Says McConnell Was ‘Taking a Shot At Trump’ For Endorsing Candidates Who Will Lose the Senate
CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Mitch McConnell was “taking a shot at” former President Donald Trump when he remarked that “candidate quality” in the GOP Senate field might not be great.
At an event this week, McConnell said “I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate,” and added that “Senate races are just different. They’re statewide. Candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”
On Friday morning’s edition of CNN’s New Day, co-anchor Brianna Keilar and John Berman asked Wallace about those remarks, and Wallace suggested they were partially aimed at Trump’s endorsements of candidates like Dr. Mehmet Oz and Herschel Walker:
JOHN BERMAN: Mitch McConnell is not a man of many words or few words, but precise words like each word carefully chosen. So why is he telling us this now?
CHRIS WALLACE: Well, you know, I’ve been sort of riddling that myself over the last 24 hours. You’re exactly right. McConnell doesn’t say what a single, unguarded thing and you would think, even if he believes that Republicans are in trouble in taking back the Senate. Why would he say that? It’s certainly not going to be good for for fundraising.
And I think Melanie put our finger on the two reasons.
One, hoping that it’ll get those Republican candidates and their donor base energized again, not to take the idea that the Senate is going to go with the House and flip to Republicans.
And two maybe to take a shot at Donald Trump, because it seems that a lot of these races, Herschel Walker in Georgia, Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania that President Trump, in terms of his endorsements and his backing, went more for a celebrity than he did for candidate experience, political experience.
A lot of these people are being dismissed as amateur candidates.
I mean, Pennsylvania, just a classic case in the last few days, what’s being called Crudite-gate, because Mehmet Oz did a video, perfectly sensible, the price of everything going up. He went to a store first, they call it Wegner’s, when Wegmans is the name of the grocery chain, which is very popular in Pennsylvania.
And then he said, you know, instead of just saying, look, look at the cost of broccoli or carrots or whatever, he said, you know, my wife wanted to make a crudite plate. And, you know, I’m not sure in Pennsylvania that that translates very well.
Watch above via CNN.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A potential tropical storm is heading for the U.S.-Mexico border area, and could cause rains and flash flooding in northeastern Mexico and south Texas.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Saturday that potential Tropical Cyclone Four was located about 165 miles (270 kilometers) south-southeast of the mouth of the Rio Grande.
That area includes the Mexican border city of Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
The disturbance was moving northwest at 13 mph ( 20 kph), and could become a tropical storm before hitting land late Saturday.

Cheney Has No Hope of Winning the GOP Pres Nomination in '24, So How Does She Want to Hurt Trump?
Rep. Liz Cheney teased a presidential run after her defeat in the House primary election in Wyoming on Tuesday night.
Of course, the natural question that arises is how a candidate who lost by 37 percent, the second-highest margin for an incumbent in the last 60 years, according to CNN, can think she has the stuff to take the show on the road nationally and win.
The likely answer is that she knows she can’t win, but wants to play the spoiler if former President Donald Trump should run in 2024.
She all but said as much in her concession speech.
“We must be very clear-eyed about the threat we face and about what is required to defeat it. I have said since Jan. 6 that I will do whatever it takes to ensure Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office,” Cheney said.
.@RepLizCheney: “I have said since Jan. 6 that I will do whatever it takes to ensure Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the oval office, and I mean it.” https://t.co/9W0OGSqInR pic.twitter.com/J58U4drprv
— The Hill (@thehill) August 18, 2022
Asked Wednesday if she would run for president, she told NBC News, “It is something that I’m thinking about.”
“I think that defeating [Trump] is going to require a broad and united front of Republicans, Democrats and independents, and that’s what I intend to be part of,” Cheney added.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the lawmaker has already launched a political action committee called “The Great Task” — a phrase from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address — which she will fund initially with millions left over from her House campaign.
Her appeal among Republicans nationwide seems even less than it is in Wyoming, given her work on the Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee, where she has insulted not only Trump but any who had doubts about the integrity of the 2020 election.
PolitiFact reported in June that about 70 percent of Republicans in multiple polls since the 2020 race have said that they do.
So what’s Cheney’s play?
One option could be to run as an independent in the 2024 election and hopefully siphon off enough votes to keep Trump out of the White House, as she desperately desires to do.
In other words, she may want to be the Ross Perot of the ’24 contest.
Cheney lacks the charisma, populist appeal and financial resources that Perot brought to the 1992 presidential race, but she would not have to do as well to accomplish her goal. Perot won 19 percent of the vote to sway the election in favor of Democrat Bill Clinton over incumbent President George H.W. Bush.
Apart from running as an independent, another option could be that Cheney wants to be on the primary debate stage with Trump to goad him in hopes of hurting him politically.
And if neither of the above two options work out, she may just use her PAC and status as a media darling to lob salvos at Trump throughout the presidential race in a Lincoln Project kind of way.
Trump celebrated Cheney’s defeat Tuesday on Truth Social, writing, “Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now.”
Amen. Her fade to political obscurity can’t come too soon.

Gordon Central traveled to Floyd County to face Region 7-AA foe Armuchee on Friday night to kick off the 2022 season. The Warriors narrowly lost a defensive slugfest 10-6.
The biggest moment of the game came with 1:35 left in regulation, as Armuchee’s Blaine Ragland put the game on ice with a huge diving interception off a deflection from a teammate in Warrior territory. From there, the Indians were able to take a series of knees to run out the clock. Armuchee head coach Jeremy Green spoke glowingly of Ragland’s play.
“Blaine is a young sophomore,” Green said. “For him to make that play, that’s why he’s there. We trust him. I trust him to return punts. I know that kid will do everything that I ask him to do.”
The Armuchee defense as a whole had a very nice night, allowing only one score in the game. Green talked about that scoring play and the performance of his defensive unit.
“Well, the defense kind of got mad at me this week because I told them, ‘Listen, we’re little, and we’re young. We got to play really fast and mad,’ Green said. “I challenged them with that. I told them that Gordon Central is bigger than us, and they’re going to try to drive the ball. We gave up a goofy play on a special formation. We get lined up (wrong). We’re not even covering the receiver. Other than that, the game kind of went the way I thought it would. We’re smaller and faster. We just had to play mean.”
As for the Armuchee offense, quarterback Chandler Desanto was a workhorse, as he carried the ball 23 times for 97 yards as well as throwing for 33 yards, a touchdown and an interception on 4-of-11 passing.
Desanto’s touchdown ultimately proved to be the difference in the game. Desanto connected with Jacob Seagraves for a 5-yard touchdown pass with 10:11 to go in the first half to put the Indians up 10-0. A first-quarter field goal by Grayson Perry from 28 yards out was the only other score for the home side. Green raved about Desanto’s toughness.
“He had to come in halfway through his freshman year after there were two quarterback injuries,” Green said. “He’s basically working on year four. He’s tough as nails. I think that’s why the guys follow him. We ask him to do a lot of stuff in our offense. We trust him. I knew if the game was on the line, then the ball needed to be in his hands.”
Gordon Central’s aforementioned lone touchdown came with less than a minute to go in the first half, as Warriors’ quarterback Peyton Wilson hit a wide-open Jayden Sibley, who sprinted down the sidelines to the end zone for a 61-yard score. The ensuing extra point was missed, and the Warriors trailed 10-6. However, neither team could change the score the rest of the game.
As for the Gordon Central offense, running back Matthew Hammock finished with 86 yards rushing on 17 attempts. Wilson went 2-of-5 through the air for 70 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Sibley also had 21 yards rushing to go along with his 61-yard touchdown reception.
Gordon Central is scheduled to host Southeast Whitfield in non-region play Friday night (Aug. 26).

A passenger bus collided Saturday with emergency teams handling an earlier road accident in southern Turkey, leaving at least 15 people dead and nearly two dozen injured, officials said.
Three firefighters, two paramedics and two journalists were among those killed on the highway between Gaziantep and Nizip, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu tweeted. The other eight fatalities were on the bus, he added.
Gaziantep Gov. Davut Gul said 22 other people were injured in the incident.
The Ilhas News Agency said two of its journalists were killed after pulling over to help the victims of the initial accident, in which a car came off the highway and slid down an embankment.
Television footage showed an ambulance with severe damage to its rear while the bus lay on its side alongside the highway.
Turkey has a poor record of road safety. Some 5,362 people were killed in traffic accidents last year, according to the government. | https://globalnews.ca/news/9074147/turkey-bus-crash-death-toll/ | 2022-08-20T18:13:46Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/9074147/turkey-bus-crash-death-toll/ | true | 24 |
