Mitt Romney Dumps Ice-Cold Water on Liz Cheney's Presidential Ambitions
Arch anti-Trumper Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah says fellow Republican and Trump-basher Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming has little hope of winning the presidency in 2024.
Cheney was decisively trounced this week in a Republican primary, losing to Harriet Hageman, who had extensive support from former President Donald Trump
On the day after her loss, Cheney said she would continue her vitriolic campaign against Trump and might take that campaign as far as a presidential run in 2024.
“I believe that Donald Trump continues to pose a very grave threat and risk to our republic. And I think that defeating him is going to require a broad and united front of Republicans, Democrats, and independents, and that’s what I intend to be a part of,” she said.
That might not end so well, Romney said Thursday.
“I’m not going to encourage anyone to run for president,” Romney told the Deseret News. “I’ve done that myself, and that’s something I’m not doing again.
“I don’t know if she really wants to do that. She would not become the nominee if she were to run. I can’t imagine that would occur,” Romney said.
Cheney could seek to run as a vehicle for other political purposes, but Romney said, “I’m not in collaboration with that effort.”
Romney praised Cheney for her attacks on Trump.
“I salute her courage. You wouldn’t call it courage, by the way, if there were no consequence for doing what you think is right. She did what she thought was right. I believe she was right,” Romney said.
Cheney said her defeat shows that Trump’s “hold is very strong among some portions of the Republican Party. My state of Wyoming is not necessarily a representative sample of the party,” Cheney said, according to Fox News, citing an ABC interview.
“I think it says a couple of things. I think it says people continue to believe the lie. They continue to believe what he’s saying, which is dangerous,” she said. “I think it also tells you that large portions of our party, including the leadership of our party, is very sick.”
Romney, who in 2016 launched a scorched-earth effort to deny Trump the Republican presidential nomination and voted twice to impeach Trump, said the 2024 GOP presidential nomination is for Trump, or a Trump ally, to claim.
“I don’t think someone who is seen outside the Trump circle would have any realistic chance of becoming the nominee in 2024, barring something I can’t foresee at this stage,” he said, according to the Deseret News.
“If he doesn’t run again, I think it’ll be people who either were supporters of his or people who didn’t say much about him and then would be open to become the nominee,” Romney said.
“My party has changed a great deal over the last decade. It will change again over the next 10 years. I can’t tell you how, but I think we’ll have more voices than one at some point,” he said.
“But right now one voice, and that’s President Trump’s voice, is the loudest and the strongest and bucking him is something people will do at their peril,” he said.
Romney said he thinks the GOP can win a majority in the House, but — referencing comments from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell that the Senate might remain in Democratic hands – said Republicans might not gain control of the Senate.
“I take my cue from Mitch McConnell who watches it more closely than I do in terms of the races outside of our own races here,’’ he said. “But he looks at races around the nation and I guess just yesterday he said too close to call.”

After receiving formal notice of a sexual assault allegation, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana says he intends to continue to execute his duties “by focusing on the critical tasks of revitalising our economy and protecting the fiscus”.
In a statement released on Thursday night, Godongwana confirmed he had been approached by the South African Police Service earlier in the day about a criminal investigation against him.
The investigation relates to a sexual assault complaint laid against Godongwana in Skukuza, Mpumalanga, which he visited with his wife earlier this month. An employee at a lodge in the Kruger National Park alleged the minister had assaulted her while she was giving him a massage in his room.
In the statement, Godongwana reiterated that he “in no way or at any time inappropriately touched, sexually harassed or assaulted anyone”.
Earlier on Thursday, Godongwana told Business Day he would step aside, in line with ANC policy, if criminally charged.
“I am relieved,” the minister said, “to have finally been contacted by the police and given the opportunity to hear what I am being accused of.
“I am also glad to have the opportunity to place my denial on record. I take the allegations very seriously. As such, I am looking forward to the necessary legal processes unfolding. It is in the interests of all those involved for the matter to be resolved speedily, with due regard for the dignity and privacy of the complainant and myself.”
Godongwana denied the allegation that he had attempted to silence the complainant by bribing her.
“As I informed the police, the identity of the complainant is unknown to me. These allegations are unfounded. In the interest of justice, I reiterate my wish that this matter be expedited,” he said.
“It is unfortunate that these allegations are being used as nothing more than a smear
against me, fashioned to achieve narrow and selfish political ends.”
The minister confirmed that he had appeared before the ANC’s integrity commission this week. The meeting, he said, was at his own request.
“I did this because I am painfully aware of the damage that the allegations have caused to the organisation which I have served for close to four decades, as well as for the need to be forthright and transparent.” | https://mg.co.za/business/2022-08-19-relieved-to-hear-from-police-on-sexual-assault-allegation-godongwana-will-continue-to-do-his-job/ | 2022-08-21T08:18:33Z | https://mg.co.za/business/2022-08-19-relieved-to-hear-from-police-on-sexual-assault-allegation-godongwana-will-continue-to-do-his-job/ | true | 1 |

Will Smith has made his social media comeback for the first time in a non-apology post since the Chris Rock slap controversy. Ever since the Oscars 2022 incident, Smith has taken a step back from the spotlight as he has received heavy criticism over his actions. Not just fans, and celebrities but even the Academy condemned him.
To take a recap, Smith slapped the comedian at the award ceremony after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair loss condition. Since then, the King Richard actor received backlash from people. However, there were some who also criticised Rock for making an insensitive joke.

Coming back to the point, Will Smith has now made his comeback on social media by posting a hilarious video. It consists of a young gorilla poking and lurking around a grown gorilla. There is also text in the video which reads, “Me trying to get back on social media.” Within a few hours, the post received thousands of likes and over 7 lakh likes. Several fans commented on it and welcomed the actor back.

More also shared heart emojis. Amongst the many comments was also of Will Smith’s ex-wife, Sheree Zampino, who also spoke about the Chris Rock slap controversy. Zampino supported Will and hoped that people would allow him to “be human” and forgive him as there is no healing without that. Amid all of this, Will is also making the headline over his Netflix biopic.
For the unversed, the streaming giant halted Smith’s biopic after the Oscars 2022 incident. However, now it is being said the project is back in the pipeline as the actor has apologised and will also include the award ceremony event.
Will Smith shared a video in which he issued an apology to Chris Rock and said that he was remorseful of his actions.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Every morning, before she unlocks the lobby at the bus headquarters, Tiara Holmes heads toward the parking lot where the fleet gets cleaned out.
There, inside a glass door, a white locker looms 10 feet tall: Lost and Found.
Holmes unlatches the padlock — and starts poring through pieces of people’s lives.
A wallet. Two cell phones.
Someone’s identity, someone’s lifeline.
Something wrapped in a napkin.
“I’m not going to touch that,” she mutters.
A small Target bag. A green duffel.
“Not until I get gloves.”
A high-heeled, leopard print boot, left. A brown leather loafer, the same size, right.
“I try not to wonder too much,” Holmes says on this Tuesday in August, standing the shoes side by side.
“But sometimes...”
You ride the bus, in Florida, because you have to. Because without a car, or driver’s license, or the money for an app like Uber, it’s often the only way to get to work, doctors’ appointments, the grocery. To see the beach, for some. To cool off in air conditioning, for people without it.
Everything you carry, you cradle in your lap, hold beside you.
Yet so much gets left behind.
Some things you’d expect: umbrellas, sunglasses, lunch boxes, leftovers.
Others, you’d never imagine: Wheelchairs. Walkers. Canes.
“How does that happen?” asks Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority spokesperson Stephanie Rank. “How do they get home?”
Some things make you worry: Bottom dentures.
Some make you wonder: A prosthetic leg.
Some things are haunting: Four wooden crosses, unpainted, four inches tall. Left on different buses, over four days.
Some stuff breaks your heart.
After each shift, after driving 2,300 riders every day, PSTA drivers “sweep” their more than 200 buses in the vast parking lot near the St. Pete-Clearwater airport.
Anything they find that’s not trash, plus anything turned in by riders, they drop into the locker.
Holmes notes dates on yellow stickers, though routes and times are often a mystery.
She and other workers stash most stuff in a storage room, about the size of a two-car garage. Plastic bins line tall metal shelves and bigger items are stacked by the door.
Fishing poles. Beach chairs. Forgotten before someone’s walk to the water? Or after?
Golf clubs. Library books. A plastic rosary. Were they praying on the bus?
Propped against a crate, Holmes finds a cardboard poster, filled with magazine photos of a woman doing yoga, a woman sporting sunglasses, surrounded by cut-out quotes: Find yourself. Feel Good. Wipe out your pain. Say yes to fun! Hours spent searching for inspiration, left on the bus.
Holmes checks for a name and, seeing none, sets it aside. She hates to throw away something so personal. But riders only have 10 days to claim their items.
Suitcases. So many big suitcases. And, always, backpacks.
Holmes has to search for ID, so she can try to contact the owner.
But she hates unzipping bags. What if there’s a gun? Or drug money? She’s found needles. Knives.
Nikki Kester, who came to help, remembered opening a heavy plastic sack one Monday. She smelled it before she saw: A 5-pound raw chicken had been oozing on some seat in the summer heat, then leaked into the locker all weekend. “I still can’t eat chicken,” she says.
This morning, the women find a gold-tinted necklace in the Target bag, with its receipt. A gift? An indulgence?
A pair of green slides. A three-pack of Hanes boxer briefs, unopened. A pair of bleached board shorts, inside out. Did someone peel those off on the bus?
From the battered green duffel, Holmes extracts worn sweatpants, two T-shirts, men’s briefs, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrush, a rusty razor and “some very stank shoes.”
No ID.
“This person must be homeless,” Kester says, shaking her head. “A lot of times, it’s everything they own.”
Bikes also nag at the women. In a cage beside the depot, 22 wait.
Someone rode that to the stop, loaded it onto the bus, got off and – what? – forgot it? How did they get home? Do they know they can come get it?
Only 40 percent of lost bikes are claimed, Rank says. The rest get donated to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
“This one is so sad. It’s been here awhile,” says Kester, looking over a battered blue Schwinn with a moldy tent and tarp tethered to the handlebars.
“Somebody didn’t just lose their transportation here. They lost their home.”
The women enjoy playing detective, matching items to IDs, seeing people’s relief.
One man cried when Holmes found the program from his brother’s funeral. Two tourists wrote Kester thank you notes for returning their wallets.
“We get a lot of repeat customers,” she says. “I call them my friends.”
“You know,” Holmes tells Kester as they walk back to the lobby, “that lady got her teeth back today.”
The most important items, Holmes locks behind her desk.
A blue bin holds glasses. A yellow one, wallets. Two green bins hold more than 100 cell phones.
A dozen lanyards, some laden with a dozen keys each, dangle from hooks. Orange pill bottles take up four whole cabinets. An HP laptop has been shelved for more than a month.
“Pepper spray and swim goggles?” asks a clerk answering phones. “OK, you sure you left them on the bus?”
Holmes laughs. “If you’re going to pepper spray someone, I guess you’d need goggles.”
Bike helmets and headphones. Watches and inhalers. A book on porcelain. A gold harmonica emblazoned “Marine Band.”
Holmes unsnaps a sparkly kitty coin purse. Inside, she finds small dolls: Elsa and Olaf the snowman, from “Frozen,” Disney’s Belle and Moana. “My 3-year-old would be so sad if she lost those,” she says.
Strangers are counting on her to make their lives whole.
“You know that panicky feeling, when you can’t find your keys or phone?” she asks. “We know people are stressed and scared. We worry.”
How will that person get into their apartment without their keys? What if those pills were keeping someone alive?
Without a phone, how can anyone call for help?
She’s logging onto her computer, starting to catalog the day’s intake, when two women and a man enter the lobby. One woman approaches Holmes, but the man does the talking.
“She’s visiting from Venezuela. She doesn’t speak English. My sister-in-law. She lost her phone,” says Matthew Metzcus, who lives in Clearwater. She thinks she left it on the bus Saturday. For three days, he says, they’ve been watching it on the app Find my iPhone.
“It went to downtown St. Petersburg, stayed there a long time, then came back up U.S. 19 to here. I didn’t know what this place was, but I followed the phone. I kept hoping it wouldn’t die.”
Holmes smiles. “Is the phone in a case? What color?” The other woman holds up her cell as a guide: glittery pink. “Do you have your ID?” asks Holmes.
Three minutes later, she returns with a matching cell.
“Gracias! Gracias!”
Holmes sits back behind her desk, scrolls through a long spreadsheet and types: Returned. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/People-lose-the-strangest-things-on-Pinellas-17387638.php | 2022-08-21T08:29:09Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/People-lose-the-strangest-things-on-Pinellas-17387638.php | false | 12 |

Daughter of Putin ally ‘killed in car bomb attack’
By Reuters
Moscow: The daughter of an ultra-nationalist Russian ideologue who advocates Russia absorbing Ukraine was killed in a suspected car bomb attack outside Moscow on Saturday evening, Russian state investigators said.
Darya Dugina, daughter of prominent ideologue Alexander Dugin, was killed after a suspected explosive device detonated on the Toyota Land Cruiser she was travelling in, investigators from the Moscow region said in a statement on Sunday.
Russia’s TASS state news agency quoted Andrei Krasnov, someone who knew Dugina, as saying the vehicle belonged to her father and that he was probably the intended target.
Father and daughter had been attending a festival outside Moscow and Dugin had decided to switch cars at the last minute, Russian government newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta reported.
TV footage accompanying the statement showed investigators collecting debris and fragments from the spot where the explosion happened.
Investigators, who described Darya Dugina as a journalist and political expert, said they had opened a murder case and would be carrying out forensic examinations to try to determine exactly what had happened.
They said they were considering “all versions” when it came to working out who was responsible for the crime.
Alexander Dugin, Darya’s father, has long advocated the unification of Russian-speaking and other territories in a vast new Russian empire.
He wants that empire to include Ukraine where Russian forces are currently carrying out what Moscow calls a “special military operation” to demilitarise Ukraine.
Dugin is believed to be an ally of Vladimir Putin and to have influenced the Russian president’s views. Some Russia watchers assert that his sway is significant and others call it minimal. Dugin was sanctioned by the US in 2015 for his alleged involvement in Moscow’s annexation of Crimea.
Darya Dugina, who also went by the surname Platonova and was reported by Russian state media to be 30 years old, broadly supported her father’s ideas and appeared on state TV in her own right to offer support for Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
In a statement in March, the US Treasury said Dugina, the chief editor of the United World International website, which has suggested Ukraine would “perish” if admitted to the NATO military alliance, had been put on a US sanctions list. The UK had also sanction her, calling her a “high-profile contributor of disinformation” about Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Found Treasure: KC Cruz BBQ at Zayante Creek Market & Deli
It’s not. The market sits less than a 20-minute drive from the heart of Santa Cruz. But that doesn’t stop many from thinking it’s way out there. In figurative terms, though, it is, a throwback store that seems lost in time, tucked just off a twisty road in the redwoods, with a vintage Hamm’s beer sign in the window and a rusty mid-’50s Chevron gas pump in front.
Looking For A Different Kind Of Maze Experience? Try This Minnesota Hemp Maze
On cooler days like today, I often find myself thinking about fall. Whether it's spending time with friends and family at an orchard, doing a corn maze (don't forget that the LARGEST corn maze around is just down the road from Saint Cloud in Foley), or simply watching the producers out in the fields as they start to reap what they spent all summer growing. But what if you wanted to try something other than a corn maze? One Minnesota farm in Southern Minnesota is offering a hemp maze and what they call 'Canna-Disc' golf.

It’s not a goodbye; it’s a see you later
Nearly 10 years ago I took the advice of former Pajaronian Sports Editor Glenn Cravens to apply for his position as he was leaving for another regional publication. At the time, I was three years removed from my Watsonville High School graduation, and still in the thick of earning my journalism degree from San Jose State University. I’m not sure where my life would have gone if I had decided to not walk through the doors of our old offices on Westridge Drive and interview for the job. All I know is that I’m happy I did, indeed, muster up enough courage to do so.

Shaheed-e-Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh
(Illustration: Hardeep Singh/ The Quint)
The Punjab and Haryana governments have decided to rename Chandigarh's international airport after the Indian revolutionary Shaheed Bhagat Singh.
This announcement was made after a joint meeting between Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala.
In 2016, the Haryana Assembly unanimously passed a resolution to name Chandigarh airport after Bhagat Singh.
Chautala said that the collective contribution of both states and the Chandigarh administration was involved in the construction and modernisation of the airport.
The area under which the airport's terminal building falls is situated in Punjab's Mohali town. This airport project's cost is estimated at Rs 485 crore, and it is a joint venture of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the two governments of Punjab and Haryana.

Benefits Of Playing Online Slots From Home
Many people enjoy playing casino slots, but dread the crowds, commute, lines, and expense that come from playing slot machines inside an actual casino. Others enjoy playing slots, but are not able to do so due to gambling laws in their area or their physical distance from a casino is restrictive. If you are one of those individuals who enjoys gaming, but does not want to put up with the hassles of going to one, or gambling is not in your area, join the thousands of players who have discovered online slots.
There are a huge variety of slots available online through gaming websites and online casinos for you to enjoy, and there’s a huge assortment of the best slots in the world available on line. The variety of slot machines is one of the main advantages, but there are many other benefits to online slots too.
One advantage to online gaming is that you can practice for free, so there is no risk. You can try a variety of online slots, decide which games you prefer, and develop strategies and preferences without risking any money.
Once you have practiced, decided which slots you like best, and developed a strategy, if you are playing through an online casino, it is fairly easy to buy in and start actually gambling with real money. Many people worry that with playing online, there is less chance of winning anything at all. It has also been suggested that even if you do win, payouts are much smaller with online gaming. This is simply not the case. If you choose to play slot machines through an actual casino, you are just as likely to win – and win big – online as you are playing in an actual casino.
Another benefit to online slots gaming is the instant access. If you go to a casino, you may be limited to what games you can play. Most real world casinos do not have space for hundreds of slot machines, as they are limited by floor space, but online casino sites give you access to as many as 400 different casino games. And can add as many as they wish to create. All they would need to do is have enough computer power to power the servers, that is all.
Even if your real world casino has a great variety of games, you may have to wait to play, and if the casino is busy, you may not even have the chance to play your favorite slots as other people may be occupying them. However, if you choose to play online, you can download an application that allows you instant access to as many slots as you wants, without having to wait in any lines. You can always play the best slots and your favorite slots online with no interruptions.

Online, slots can open your gaming world up with convenience, variety, and ease. Plus, you can start risk free with superb free cash offers. So what are you waiting for, join in the fun!.

Pay Per Lead Vs Pay Per Sale
We all know that affiliate marketing has been the most used method to make a lot of money online, we have heard and read stories about super affiliates that make insane amounts of cash every month. Maybe many of us have tried it without having any success at all, at times most of us get the thought that all those stories are lies built to market a product or something like that.
The truth is that there are a lot of persons within the affiliate marketing world that really are super affiliates, people that make huge amounts of money through many of the programs that they have joined. How can it be? You may be asking yourself that question, because maybe it’s been as hard for you as it was for me to generate sales from affiliate programs, getting a sale is very hard. That is why I am writing this article, because many people have overlooked the potential of CPA affiliate marketing, a lot of people may have heard about CPA but they don’t know how it works and that is why they don’t get interested and don’t even try it out.
Through some of the affiliate programs or most of them you have to promote products or services through your website or blog, if you generate a sale from your site or send a buying customer to the companies websites you will get a commission, we all know this, but as we know making that sale is very hard. There is another way to make money through affiliate programs, and that money is made through CPA offers from your website or blog, people have to complete some actions like filling out a form, entering a zip code, or more complicated tasks like filling out longer forms and then buying a product or service, of course this much longer paid offers will provide the affiliate which a much higher payout, but they all pay and they all pay well.
CPA means cost per action, this is lead generation all you have to do is generate leads and get paid. CPA offers usually convert better because most of the offers do not require people buying anything, they only have to fill out stuff. And every time they fill out something you will get paid good money. This is a great way to start a web business at home, or to monetize your already existing website, it will have a higher conversion percentage.
So the point is that if you want to make money online remember to use this method it will do so much good for your business, if you have ever had success with affiliate marketing through sales, then go and check out CPA managers like maxbounty.com or any other great program and see which offers can be thrown in to your sites according to your topic or niche.
Pay per lead vs. pay per sale, I’d have to say CPA easier conversion!

The GDPR Compliance Checklist
Complying with the GDPR can be terribly frustrating, as you have an incredible amount of information floating everywhere on the web.
Some of the pieces of content found online are fuzzy and don’t bring about the details you actually need to become compliant. A well-put together GDPR checklist is pure gold, because it offers you an umbrella against the fines announced.
Although complying with GDPR does seem like a lot of work, organizing and structuring that workload, can considerably ease things up.
A Checklist is the first step in your journey to comply with the new set of regulations. After all, you need to start somewhere.
Can I have your consent?
The cornerstone of the GDPR is consent. You needed consent before GDPR, but it was so much simpler to obtain it. Now, in the context of the new regulations, obtaining consent is no longer a sure thing. GDPR clearly states that unless legitimate interest is involved, getting clients to say yes needs to be done in an explicit manner, using plain language, clearing up the reasons for which consent is requested. The user needs to know exactly what his/her personal data is going to be used for and by whom.
Having legitimate interest is not equal to having consent, as the data gained cannot be used for other purposes than those implied.
Once consent is heroically obtained you need to record and safeguard it, being also prepared to hand it over when requested as such. So far, so good, but in terms of complying with GDPR what does it mean exactly?
Well, in plain talk, you’ll need to pump some money or time into developing a new consent request design, forgetting all about those pre-ticked boxes, providing users with extensive info on your actions, updating your terms and conditions and no more hiding them in fine print. Agreed?
Speak up
With this newly improved data protection law, the data subject, meaning any identifiable person, has gained quite a few interesting rights, hence DSR, which is really short for Data Subject Rights. They are all straightforward and comprehensible, but somehow, during the last decade, we never actually gave them any real thought.
If we did, we would most certainly enter panic mode and feel the express need to come up with alternative marketing strategies. However, these rights are the ones that will completely shift you from being a rebel business to a GDPR compliant one. So, let’s take them one at a time and see what to do next.
- Power to the people
You need to store and organize all the info you have about your clients. Simply giving them an email with numbers and letters doodled inside won’t do. You have to provide clients with structured, easy to comprehend information, in a common format.
In terms of complying, you can imagine that this implies various investments in new tools that would either provide the users with easy access or that would structure the information you have on them and streamline the process, optimizing it as best as possible.
- Forgotten and forgiven
Without going into philosophical discussions on the human condition, individuals do have this right and you are obligated to provide them with the framework. If you should receive an erasure request, you need to put it into practice. The tricky part here is the deadline, as it is mentioned that the data controller needs to act “without undue delay”. In plain language, this means fast, but in legal talk, things are a bit fuzzy. One can only assume that the idea is indeed to act fast.
Now, thinking of implementation, it is vital to understand that when the individual asks to be forgotten, you need to erase all the existing data you have on him and this includes copies, stored on cloud or collected by third parties.
So, you’ll be required to have systems that quickly identify data, the locations in which it is stored and ensure a fast erasure.
- Stand corrected
Starting with the 25th of May, all users can ask to have their information corrected.
You have to figure out a way in which they can do this. Once again, complying with GDPR means investing in tools.
- Making the big announcement
This implies that you are obligated to send all the data you have on an individual to a different organization, in a commonly used, structured format, should you be asked to do so by the data subject. As expected, this would of course require that you put together a robust system, through which portability can be easily done.
- Time to move
This implies that you are obligated to send all the data you have on an individual to a different organization, in a commonly used, structured format, should you be asked to do so by the data subject. As expected, this would of course require that you put together a robust system, through which portability can be easily done.
- Time to object
Even though you have obtained consent, the user could change his/her mind and decide against you, objecting to the fact that you are processing personal data. In this situation, you have no other alternative but to comply and stop personal data handling.
Data Breach Ready
So, you’ve noticed a breach in the system. It’s time to ask yourself: What would GDPR expect me to do?
If this day comes, as soon as you notice the breach you need to identify the threat. Start acting as if you were under attack.
First, you take the threat under consideration. If the data breach is believed to be a threat to users, the data controller needs to announce the GDPR Supervisory Authority within 72 hours of the breach identification. Afterwards, the users need to be informed as well.
Building up your defenses
You are granted permission. Your customer said I Do to the consent question. Don’t get your hopes up, even though these days asking for consent really seems more difficult than anything else. Now, you have to secure all that personal data. Make sure that the user’s personal data is well taken care of, safeguarding it through various means such as encryption or anonymization. You are going to use personal data, relax! You are just going to have to do it differently. The best way to use personal data without putting security at risk is through Pseudonymization. Data is still safely guarded, but you can analyze them, making this method the ultimate combination.
You mustn’t mud things up here, as anonymization and pseudonymization are two completely different concepts. GDPR brought them together, under the security umbrella for a very good reason.
While anonymization completely destroys any chance of identifying the user, pseudonymization, this Zodiac killer of the IT world, substitutes the identity of the data subject with additional information, creating a coded language. Data is still protected, but can be used for researching purposes.
Let’s wrap this up!
GDPR comes with a lot of changes. Asking for consent is a must, just like storing and safeguarding the data received. The user has the power and no matter how much you would try, there is no getting it back. It’s all about conforming to the new order.
Dig up new marketing strategies, start investing in tools to improve your already existing systems, organize the data you already have to further optimize and streamline your future processing. Times of great stress lay ahead, but with a strong plan, an organized mind, this checklist and a team of hardworking IT wizards, GDPR compliance is as good as done.

Home Based Business – 12 Ergonomic Tips For Your Computer Workstation
When working from your home office you may have a tendency not to take as many breaks as if you were in a traditional office. You may find yourself working for hours before getting up from your chair, as the interruptions are normally fewer to distract you. Because of this it is critical that you take care of yourself – and arm yourself with the basic ergonomics to prevent or at least minimize any physical strain due to computer work.
Here are 12 tips for setting up an ergonomic computer workstation:
1. Use a good chair with a dynamic chair back and seat pan. Sit back and use it instead of leaning forward
2. Position the top of monitor casing 2-3″ (5-8 cm) above eye level
3. Use a no glare screen, and an optical glass anti-glare filter where needed
4. Sit at arms length from the monitor
5. Place your feet on floor or stable footrest
6. Use a document holder, preferably in-line with the computer screen
7. Keep wrists flat and straight in relation to forearms to use keyboard/mouse/input device
8. Your arms and elbows should be relaxed and close to body
9. Center your monitor and keyboard in front of you so you are not turning to use them
10. Use a negative tilt keyboard tray with an upper mouse platform or downward tiltable platform adjacent to the keyboard for best wrist angle
11. Use a stable work surface and stable (no bounce) keyboard tray
12. Take frequent short breaks (microbreaks)
Ideal typing posture: Negative slope keyboard support
In the ideal typing posture both static and dynamic muscle loads are minimized. This posture is achieved when the keyboard is below seated elbow height and the keyboard base is gently sloped away from the user so that the key tops are accessible to the hands in a neutral posture. In this position the arms, shoulders, neck and back can relax, especially during brief rest pauses. Also, in this slightly reclined sitting position the low back rests against the lumbar support of the chair, the elbow angle is opened to promote circulation to the lower arm and hand, the abdominal angle, and the popliteal angle (behind the knees) are opened to promote blood circulation. The feet rest firmly upon the floor.
Problem postures:
Desk top keyboard – Typing at a keyboard on a desk is a common work posture for many computer users. In this position it is difficult to maintain the wrist is in a neutral posture, because the forearms sag as they tire and this puts the wrists into greater wrist extension. Also, most users have to work with their elbows flexed, which can compress the median and ulnar nerves at the elbow and restrict blood flow to the hands. Working with the forearms sloping up increase muscle loads in the upper arms, shoulders, and neck. Working in this position for more than 3-4 hours invariably leads to muscle fatigue.
Conventional keyboard tray – Typing at a keyboard on a conventional articulating keyboard tray can increase postural problems for users. Working with the keyboard more steeply angled on the tray is a common work posture for many computer users. In this position it is also difficult to maintain the wrist is in a neutral posture, because the forearms sag as they tire and this puts the wrists into greater wrist extension. Studies have failed to show that conventional keyboard trays substantially improve wrist posture.
Of course there are other ergonomic factors as well such as proper lighting, ventilation, mouse use, furniture heights and styles, plus phone equipment to name a few. Be sure to research what will be best for your specific situation and budget. Take care of your body now and it will take care of you in the future.

Successful Forex Trading Market Relies on Natural Currency Fluctuation
The Foreign Exchange Market Involves Trading One Currency for Another
If there were a worldwide Forex trading 101 course, it would explain the simple process of trading one currency for another. Forex exchanges are made between currency speculators, central banks, large banks, governments, multinational corporations, and other financial markets, and that practice has produced the largest financial market in the world.
Over three trillion dollars is exchanged everyday in the foreign exchange market, and that astonishing figure makes the forex market much larger than all the American stock markets combined. Trading is done in all corners of the world, and for the most part those trades are executed without cash trading hands.
The forex market is open twenty-four hours a day in order to react to new political, social, and financial developments. The market opens Sunday evening and closes Friday night. Most financial experts say the forex market has a low commission/trade ratio due to the size of the trades even though some forex traders have introduced a per trade commission along with the pip spread. The pip spread is the difference between the bid and offer/ask price. That difference is considered the commission for each trade.
The forex market does have different trading levels so pip and commission rates vary based on the customer and the value of the trades. Big banks have a tiny pip spread; investment banks, large retailers, and multinational corporations have a slightly higher spread, and small companies and individual investors are given another spread.
Currency Prices Can Only Fluctuate Relative to Another Currency
Forex trading is done in currency pairs. The most popular pairs are the US Dollar and the British Pound (USD/GBP); the US Dollar and the Euro (USD/EUR); the US Dollar and the Japanese Yen (USD/JPY), and several other currencies like the Australian Dollar, the Swiss Franc, and just about any other currency that is recognized in the forex market.
Most forex traders use a 100:1 ratio to make trades so a $100,000 position only requires a $1,000 investment to control that position. Most traders require investors to have more than the trading amount in the account so the account does not go into a negative position. The standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency. Currency pairs are purchased by buying 100,000 units of the counter or quote currency. In a EUR/USD trade the USD is the base and it will always have a pip of $10 on a 1/100th of a percent trade. The pip value varies based on the base currency.
The Currency in Most Countries is Constantly Fluctuating Except for the Chinese Yuan
Most governments allow their currencies to fluctuate so the forex market is always offering investor opportunities as well as financial fiascos. The Chinese government controls the fluctuation of the Yuan and that practice is creating an enormous amount of criticism from other countries that believe China is artificially controlling the value of their products as well as proving they are the next Superpower. If the value of the currency traded in the forex market is controlled by governments, the world economy suffers.

Tips For Choosing the Right HVAC Servicing Company
If your building or home needs HVAC servicing, the level of service that you’ll receive can vary greatly from company to company. Most HVAC servicing companies offer professional grade service, competitive pricing, financing options and maintenance agreements. But there are also HVAC companies whose reputation for air conditioning maintenance and HVAC installation leaves a lot to be desired. If you need to contact a heating and cooling company to address your HVAC problems, then you probably aren’t skilled enough to handle those problems yourself. Nonetheless, there are some steps that you can take as a consumer to determine whether or not a certain company is likely to offer you value for your money or end up costing you money in terms of botched installation, botched repair work or work uncompleted.
Contacting the Better Business Bureau
While some consumer websites tell you find out how long a company has been in business or how many skilled technicians it employs, the easiest way to figure out whether or not a company is living up to its billing is to contact the Better Business Bureau and find out if it has unresolved customer complaints. While a company that does lots of business will inevitably receive complaints to the Better Business Bureau at one time or another, a company that values its customers will resolve those complaints as quickly as possible. In some instances, a company chooses not to resolve a complaint because a customer’s claims are outlandish. But since it’s difficult to determine whether it’s the company or the customer that’s being outlandish, it’s best to go with a company that resolves its complaints no matter what.
Time Sensitive Service Agreements
The most common complaint against companies that travel to customers to do their work is that they don’t get the work done on time. In some cases, this complaint results from a stickler who’s upset about a project running a day longer than planned. But there are also projects that run weeks and months longer than planned, if they ever get finished at all. Companies that don’t offer timely service typically do so based on one of two situations: they take on too much work for their workforce, or they have bigger fish to fry. In either case, you get stuck with a home that doesn’t heat or cool properly until the company honors its commitment. But with a time sensitive service agreement that offers a refund if the project isn’t completed on time, you can be sure that a company will take the project seriously.
Licensed, Bonded and Insured
Companies that are licensed, bonded and insured show that they have the expertise to perform the work that you require and the insurance to pay for damages to your person or property should that work somehow go wrong. The problem with hiring a company that isn’t insured against damages isn’t that you don’t have a way to receive damages; it’s that your chances of receiving damages through the court system is rather slim. Even if you win a civil case against a company, statistics show that most civil judgments aren’t willingly paid by the guilty party, which is likely to leave you with both a botched heating and cooling job and a never ending series of court dates as you keep trying to get reimbursed.

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are busy promoting Brahmastra, however, landed in hot waters when Ranbir pointed out his wife's pregnancy weight gain on camera.
Recently during promotions, the stars were seen talking about keeping the promotional time minimal.
To this, Alia said, "We will promote the film, and we will be everywhere but if the question you are asking is why we are not phailod (spread) everywhere, right now our focus is..."
Before she could complete her sentence, her husband Ranbir quickly pointed at his wife's baby bump and said, "Well I can say somebody has phailod (spread)," adding he meant the comment as a joke.
The comment is receiving an enormous amount of criticism from netizens as they think Ranbir was body shaming Alia on camera, with many speculating about his behavior with his wife offscreen.
Alia and Ranbir tied the knot in April, and Alia announced her pregnancy in June.

Hardik has changed completely, has given us more strength, proclaims Yuzvendra Chahal
Today at 2:23 PM
Yuzvendra Chahal has lauded teammate Hardik Pandya for his fantastic comeback after a long break due to injury, stating the all-rounder's newly unlocked batting potential has helped the team gain an edge. He went on to comment upon Pandya's lethal bouncers, highlighting his hard work in the process.
Things have been coming together well for India in the run-up to major T20 tournaments, with their key players performing at high levels while the backups push for a place in the starting XI with consistent cameos. It could be argued that the most key component that has fit back into place as far as the team is concerned is Hardik Pandya who has excelled in his role as a seaming all-rounder.
The man from Gujarat was missing in action post the World T20 last year owing to troubles with his back before returning for the Indian Premier League as skipper of the newly established Gujarat Titans. There, he excelled with the bat, ending up as his team's highest run-getter with 487 at a phenomenal average of 44.27. Such performances paved his path for a comeback to the international team and two half-centuries on the tour of England indicated Pandya was ready to translate his form onto the big stage.
"Hardik has changed completely, we saw him batting at No.7 earlier. I think when he went to Gujarat Titans from Mumbai Indians, he realised he can bat higher up the order. Any batter who can hit right from the crease, it is difficult to bowl to him. He is batting like a proper batter, which has given us more strength," said Chahal on Sports Yaari as reported by NDTV.

Find OutHowever, the 28-year-old exercised some restraint with the ball in the IPL, only averaging two overs a match in order to slowly nurse himself back to full fitness. The decision has paid dividends since he has been regularly bowling his full quota of overs for the Men in Blue in the ongoing international season. Pandya is expected to play a major role when the World T20 gets underway Down Under in October, considering that Australian pitches provide plenty to bowlers who hit the deck hard.
"He is bowling his four overs also, with him coming back, it has really helped our side. He bowls a quick bouncer, if you see it from square off, his bouncer is really deceptive. It shows how much he worked hard when he was out due to injury," Chahal added.
Hardik is expected to next be in action at the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates beginning on August 27. | https://www.sportscafe.in/cricket/articles/2022/aug/21/hardik-has-changed-completely-has-given-us-more-strength-proclaims-yuzvendra-chahal?utm_medium=rss | 2022-08-21T09:07:45Z | https://www.sportscafe.in/cricket/articles/2022/aug/21/hardik-has-changed-completely-has-given-us-more-strength-proclaims-yuzvendra-chahal?utm_medium=rss | true | 1 |
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp took a cheeky dig at Manchester United by suggesting his club had saved a fortune by not having to pay off as many managers as their arch-rivals in recent years.
Since the German arrived in 2015 half a dozen people – either permanent or interim – have taken charge at Old Trafford.
Klopp suggested it must have been a costly exercise.
“Imagine the money Liverpool saved from not paying them (a similar number of managers) off,” said the Reds boss ahead of Monday’s meeting.
“I should have said that when I signed the last contract. It would have been an interesting number.”
Klopp admits with so many changes in the United hot seat it is difficult for him to plan for an established game-plan as it is constantly changing.
“Always a different Man Utd,” he added.
“That would make me as unnecessary as well if everyone could sit here and it would always look the same, so of course it depends who is in charge.
“They all play different, very different. Van Gaal to Mourinho – that was very different.
“You have to prepare completely differently and we will.”
Klopp has had very few bumps in the road since arriving in England, having won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Club World Cup.
United’s latest incumbent Erik ten Hag has endured a difficult start, losing his first two matches, with criticism already raining down on his players.
The Liverpool manager was asked whether he had any sympathy for his opposite number, even if he was in charge of their big rivals.
“No. It’s football problems – we have problems,” he said.
“I’m not sure if you go to Manchester United and ask Erik ten Hag if we have a few too many injuries (he would sympathise). It is not like this.
“It is not necessary that I feel sympathy. It would not help them, would not harm them. We all have our own problems.”
Klopp said the pressure was the same managing a club like United as any other, it was just the focus was sharper on the top clubs.
“When I arrived seven years ago I don’t think we hit the ground running immediately. We played a good game at Tottenham but drew,” he said.
“It was not that everyone said ‘Oh my God, you can see it immediately’ but I can say I didn’t read anything and that makes it easier.
“You are not over the moon about your own results and you know what people might say so you just focus on work and go for the little steps, and I’m pretty sure in each club it is the same. The bigger clubs you talk more about them.
“If we are strong enough not to read that you can have an OK life and just work on the important stuff and that’s what I’ve done in seven years.
“That helps me and it’s the only advice I could give.”

With the state currently experiencing drought conditions, the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory, TVMDL, is encouraging cattle producers to be vigilant.
Water deprivation
To mitigate cattle losses due to water deprivation, ensure they have access to clean and plentiful water sources.
To remain healthy in hot weather, a 1,000-pound heifer may need to drink about 20 gallons daily. The lack of rain may also lead to far less forage growth. In normal years, green forage may provide some of the daily water requirements for a grazing cow. In drought years, forage becomes much drier and the amount of water available from forage will lessen.
To avoid water deprivation, ensure water is readily available to your cattle daily. Check the pumps that draw water from wells. Make sure troughs and tanks contain water. Ensure nipple waterers in barns are working properly.
Avoid holding cattle in pens that lack water sources for long periods, and do not work cattle in the heat of the day.
Ensure cattle know where to find water. Cattle are creatures of habit. If their preferred tank or trough dries up, animals may ignore other distant watering points in their pasture.
When introducing cattle to new pastures, drive the animals to the troughs or tanks. Make sure weaned calves know where to find water. Watch cattle to ensure they are drinking adequately.
Water/salt intoxicationWhen cattle become excessively dehydrated, sodium levels increase in all tissues, including the brain. If dehydrated cattle find water and drink too much too quickly, the liquid will rush to their brains. As pressure builds in the brains, cattle may develop instability or seizures or may die from what is known as water/salt intoxication.
Salt intoxication does not mean the animal is getting an excessive load of salt, but rather the sodium concentration is increasing in the body because the animal is deprived of adequate water.
If cattle become dehydrated, they need to drink water immediately – but only in small amounts. If the trough is empty, put a few inches of water in the bottom.
Let all cattle drink at once to create competition for the water. Then repeat several times with 30 minutes between each watering until their thirst is satisfied. Monitor water intake and keep it gradual.
Poor water qualityHot summer days take their toll on ponds and tanks. As water sources dwindle during a drought, water may become concentrated with salt and other inorganic materials.
Unpalatable water may cause cattle to avoid troughs or tanks, leading to deprivation and dehydration.
Test water for high concentrations of sodium, calcium, nitrates, magnesium salts and sulfates. If concentrations are high, new sources of fresh water must be provided.
Warm, stagnant water may also encourage the growth of blue-green algae, some of which are toxic. The algae often concentrate on the downwind side of a pond.
Dead rodents, birds, or fish along the downwind side of a pond may indicate the presence of blue-green algae that could harm cattle. However, the first indication of blue-green algae could be one or more dead cattle.
Even during a drought, toxic weeds may thrive along the edges of a water source. Look along the shorelines of tanks and ponds for toxic weeds, such as small-headed sneezeweed or knotweed, and control grazing to avoid toxic weeds.
To learn more about testing options, visit TVMDL or call the College Station laboratory at (888) 646-5623 and schedule a consultation with a veterinary diagnostician. | https://www.news-journal.com/features/lifestyle/davis-keep-cattle-hydrated-in-drought-conditions/article_18dd9d80-1e66-11ed-ab9f-33856d832837.html | 2022-08-21T09:14:57Z | https://www.news-journal.com/features/lifestyle/davis-keep-cattle-hydrated-in-drought-conditions/article_18dd9d80-1e66-11ed-ab9f-33856d832837.html | true | 6 |
Meet the NEW stars of Gogglebox Australia: Four Indigenous friends join the popular show following the death of Di Kershaw
The new season of Gogglebox Australia is set to return to screens with a brand new group of mates.
The upcoming series will feature four Indigenous friends named Kevin, Bob, Jared, and Mia.
'I am way too excited about this. It feels very surreal that it is all actually happening. Bob and I used to watch the show and really enjoyed it,' Kevin told The Daily Telegraph.
Meet the NEW stars on Gogglebox Australia: Four Indigenous friends will join the popular show following the death of Di Kershaw after cancer diagnosis
Mia said she hopes her appearance on the show will help other Australians learn about her Indigenous culture.
'We are using blackfella terms and Aboriginal English slang as well,' she said.
The announcement came after Gogglebox fans were recently left heartbroken following the news the show's beloved star Di Kershaw had died aged 76 following a short illness.
Di, a former model-turned-Indigenous art dealer, had appeared on the Channel 10-Foxtel show alongside her husband Mick since its first season in 2015, and quickly became a fan favourite thanks to her dry humour and savage one-liners.

Her cutting commentary often landed her in the headlines over the years, and even saw her clash with fellow cast-member Angie Kent following the Bachelorette star's departure from the show.
In February 2020, Di famously mocked Angie for joining Dancing With The Stars, her fourth reality show.
'She was on Gogglebox, then went to the jungle, then she became the Bachelorette, and now she's a dancing star,' Di sniped as she watched Angie compete in the dancing competition.
'She's no dancer, that's for sure,' she added.

In March this year, Di again showed her disdain for D-list reality stars while watching Netflix series Byron Baes.
Di ridiculed a scene where cast members participated in a spiritual meditation involving Tibetan sound bowls.
She made a howling sound to imitate the noise of the bowls, before mockingly exclaiming: 'I'm going into a traaaaance!'
In September 2019, Di also took a stab at Rove McManus following the release of his now-axed variety show Saturday Night Rove.

Mystery as couple who owned popular brewery found dead inside their home by daughter with cops hunting suspect
COPS are hunting for the killer behind the mysterious murder of a couple who owned a popular brewery.
Shaun D. Rose, 40, is wanted by police over the "brutal" deaths of Steven and Mina Schulz, both 51.
Their bodies were found on Thursday evening by their daughter who stopped in for a visit.
When she got there it looked as though there'd been a break-in so she called police.
Officers who attended found the bodies elsewhere on the property, the Seattle Times reported.
The pair own and operated of E2W Brewing, a "nanobrewery" based on their Olalla property in Washington.
Sheriff’s Lt. Ken Dickinson said on Saturday that detectives are hunting Rose who is believed to have stolen a vehicle - which has since been located - to flee the area.
The manner in which the victims were killed is being withheld from the public until an arrest is made and the suspect has been interviewed.
One news release said the slain couple died from "homicidal violence".
It is thought Rose is hiding in the Pierce County or Tacoma area - but officers are advising caution to anyone who may cross his path as he's considered armed and dangerous.
Police are asking for anyone in the area who may have video from around Bowe Lane from Thursday morning to get in touch.
The brewery's Facebook page says the Schulz brewery's Strawberry Ale won first place in a vote by beer drinkers from the Gig Harbor Beer Festival in May. | https://www.the-sun.com/news/6045144/mystery-couple-dead-home-daughter/ | 2022-08-21T09:24:24Z | https://www.the-sun.com/news/6045144/mystery-couple-dead-home-daughter/ | false | 1 |
Douglas Neckers: How could Rushdie attack happen in such an idyllic place?
I’ve been going to wonderful and stimulating programs, from lectures to concerts, at Chautauqua Institution almost my entire life. There are few places more peaceful or beautiful, and while it is nestled on 2,000 acres in southwest New York State it is far closer to Toledo — 250 miles — than to New York City.
So you can imagine my shock and horror when I learned that a famous author and naturalized American citizen, Salman Rushdie, had been attacked and severely injured in an apparent assassination attempt at Chautauqua.
Mr. Rushdie, author of the famous and controversial 1988 novel "The Satanic Verses," was repeatedly savagely stabbed on stage in the Chautauqua amphitheater Aug. 12, just as he was about to speak. As I write this, doctors say the 75-year-old author is likely to live, but may lose one eye and has other severe injuries.
But how could this happen at that beautiful intellectual place which has been nestled around Chautauqua Lake for a century and a half? There are few more idyllic places. Amish farms surround the grounds and farmers market their produce at or near the Institution most of the summer. There are usually more Amish buggies on the roads coming to the expressway than cars.
The home of famous editor Horace Greeley, (Go west, young man, go west!) is still on a dirt road 20 miles south of the Institution. Though the wolves that targeted his father’s sheep are long gone, the place otherwise looks like it must have in the 19th century, when Horace walked 50 miles from Lake Erie to get there.
Chautauqua never worried much about security; according to CNN, the Institution’s leadership had rejected recommendations for basic security measures, including bag checks and metal detectors, fearing that would change the culture at the institution.
Well, the culture now has been changed, probably forever. In retrospect, Chautauqua probably should have known better. Satanic Verses was been described as a work of “magical realism,” and it caused huge controversy among some Muslims, who accused it of blasphemy and mocking their faith. Things got worse in 1989, when the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, then Supreme Leader, issued a fatwa against the writer.
Several assassination attempts were thwarted, and he spent a decade closely guarded and protected by the British government. For a while, things seemed to die down. But in 2017, the current Ayatollah, Ali Khamenei, reaffirmed the death sentence against Mr. Rushdie. We do not yet know exactly what motivated the would-be assassin, a 24-year-old Muslim from New Jersey.
But we probably can guess.
And so the barbarity of our current world was brought to a place where presidents have before stood. Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave his "I Hate War" speech at Chautauqua, and the unquenchable Eleanor Roosevelt spoke here often. Thomas Edison spent summers here in the 1920s and married the youngest daughter of the cofounder of it all, inventor Lewis Miller.
But beyond all that, Chautauqua had and has an importance all its own. By bringing speakers that address the world’s most critical issues, Chautauquans hear the voices of the real decision-makers — not their voices translated through editors, announcers and other media pipelines.
This is an incredibly important mission, and the Institution must not let a single assassin’s misguided acts silence those invited to its stage. Its programs must go on, because the First Amendment to the Constitution ensures freedom of speech and those chosen to speak freely at Chautauqua are so important.
Chautauqua is, however, unlike America in another way: There are more poets here than pistols. For nine weeks during the summer the Institution bustles and hums and thrives as a world of intellects that come to share their thinking.
And bizarrely, this assassin used a knife, an even more heinous and ugly route to murder. So what happens now? The world has been brought to Chautauqua. Chautauqua cannot ignore it. But it cannot let it poison its environment of peace and thought either. When this atrocity, the first in the institution’s history happened, Michael Hill, Chautauqua’s current president, said:
“We were founded to bring people together in community to learn, and in doing so, create solutions through actions to develop actions, to develop empathy and to take on intractable problems … now, we’re called to take on fear, and the worst of all human traits — hate.”
I have no doubt Chautauqua will carry on. It must, because it is one of the few centers left where people can speak freely left. Besides, Chautauqua has an exceptional role model — the Senate of the United States on Jan. 6, 2021.
So the Chautauqua of cofounder Bishop John Heyl Vincent and Thomas Edison will continue to bring poetry to a nation. Chautauqua will stand with the majority of Americans who do not believe in the minority rule of manipulated governments infecting so many states today.
It, and we who support it will believe there’s a genius in a Beethoven that is such that a great chorus singing the "Ode to Joy" from his 9th Symphony brings much more blast to the human soul than any nuclear weapon.
Somehow, Chautauqua and those who nurture it will find solutions through action. I am convinced that the poets here will beat pistols and the learned will lean on their morals and principles to carry on.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Ballots haven’t even been printed yet, but already a group of landlords, apartment managers and real estate agents in Florida want to stop voters from deciding on a measure that would implement rent control for a year in the theme park hub that has been one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the U.S.
The Florida Apartment Association and the Florida Association of Realtors last week sued Orange County, Florida, in an attempt to invalidate a ballot initiative aimed at limiting how much landlords can increase rents. If passed by voters in the fall, it would be the first such measure in decades in the Sunshine State.
The associations say that Florida law prohibits rent control ordinances except in an emergency, and the current situation in the county that is home to Orlando doesn’t rise to that standard. They also say that the ordinance could have the unintended consequence of making the situation worse by discouraging the construction of new apartment buildings and other housing.
“It is adverse and antagonistic to the public interest and to the interests of the Plaintiffs and their members to allow the Rent-Control Ordinance to be placed on the ballot or enforced by Orange County where the Ordinance is unlawful and invalid,” the associations said in court papers.
Earlier this month, Orange County’s Board of County Commissioners narrowly approved the rent control ordinance, which now goes to voters for approval in November. The ordinance limits rent increases in multiunit buildings to the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index. The ordinance doesn’t apply to luxury units, single family homes or vacation rentals.
Violators of the ordinance could face fines of up to $1,000 per day for a first violation, with fines not exceeding $15,000 per offense. Landlords would be able to request an exception to the limits under certain conditions.
According to the measure passed by commissioners, the asking-rent-per-unit in Orange County has grown from $1,357 in 2020 to $1,697 in 2021, the highest increase since 2006, and the county has a shortage of as many as 26,500 housing units.
“For years, renters have been asking this commission to do something about the upcoming emergency we are in right now,” Stephanie Porta, a cofounder of the social justice group Florida Rising, said last month during a commission meeting. “Corporate landlords, real estate investors and developers are raising prices and making record profits while hardworking Orange County residents are priced out of their communities.”
The city of Miami Beach in the 1960s and 1970s imposed rent control measures before the Florida law limiting them was passed. The Orange County ordinance would be the first such measure in the state in decades. Rent control measures have passed in California and Oregon, as well as in metro areas like St. Paul, Minnesota, and Portland, Oregon.
Orange County grew from 1.1 million residents to 1.4 million residents during the last decade, according to the 2020 census. | https://www.cbs17.com/business/ap-business/landlords-try-to-stop-rent-control-initiative-in-florida/ | 2022-08-21T10:22:27Z | https://www.cbs17.com/business/ap-business/landlords-try-to-stop-rent-control-initiative-in-florida/ | false | 32 |
Four days before the end of the Trump presidency, a White House aide peered into the Oval Office and was startled, if not exactly surprised, to see all of the president’s personal photos still arrayed behind the Resolute Desk as if nothing had changed — guaranteeing that the final hours would be a frantic dash mirroring the prior four years.
In the area known as the outer Oval Office, boxes had been brought in to pack up desks used by President Donald Trump’s assistant and personal aides. But documents were strewed about, and the boxes stood nearly empty. The table in Trump’s private dining room off the Oval Office was stacked high with papers until the end, as it had been for his entire term.
Upstairs in the White House residence, there were, however, a few signs that Trump had finally realized his time was up. Papers he had accumulated in his last several months in office had been dropped into boxes, roughly two dozen of them, and not sent back to the National Archives. Aides had even retrieved letters from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and given them to Trump in the final weeks, according to notes described to The New York Times.
Where all of that material ended up is not clear. What is plain, though, is that Trump’s haphazard handling of government documents — a chronic problem — contributed to the chaos he created after he refused to accept his loss in November 2020, unleashed a mob on Congress and set the stage for his second impeachment. His unwillingness to let go of power, including refusing to return government documents collected while he was in office, has led to a potentially damaging, and entirely avoidable, legal battle that threatens to engulf the former president and some of his aides.
Although the White House counsel’s office had told Mark Meadows, Trump’s last chief of staff, that the roughly two dozen boxes’ worth of material in the residence needed to be turned back to the archives, at least some of those boxes, including those with the Kim letters and some documents marked highly classified, were shipped to Florida. There they were stored at various points over the past 19 months in different locations inside Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s members-only club, home and office, according to several people briefed on the events.
Those actions, along with Trump’s protracted refusal to return the documents in Florida to the National Archives, prompted the Justice Department to review the matter early this year. This month, prosecutors obtained a warrant to search Mar-a-Lago for remaining materials, including some related to sensitive national security matters. The investigation is active and expanding, according to recent court filings, as prosecutors look into potentially serious violations of the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice.
Many questions about the mishandling of the documents lead to Trump, who often treated the presidency as a private business. But people in his orbit also highlight the role of Meadows, who oversaw what there was of a presidential transition. Meadows assured aides that the harried packing up of the White House would follow requirements about the preservation of documents, and he said he would make efforts to ensure that the administration complied with the Presidential Records Act, according to people familiar with those conversations.
But as the clock ticked down, Trump focused on pushing through last-minute pardons and largely ignored the transition he had tried to forestall.
A spokesperson for Trump did not respond to a request for comment. Trump has denounced the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago as a “witch hunt.” His office has said he had a “standing order” that materials removed from the Oval Office and taken to the White House residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them, although none of the three potential crimes cited in the FBI search warrant depend on whether removed documents are classified.
A lawyer for Meadows declined to comment.
Flouting Records Rules
In his final speech as president, Trump declared, “We were not a regular administration.”
His statement was indisputably accurate. From his first hours in office, Trump had always taken a proprietary view of the presidency, describing government documents and other property — even his staff — as his own personal possessions. “They’re mine” is how he often put it, former aides said.
But that was not the case. Under the Presidential Records Act, the law that strictly governs the handling of records generated in the Oval Office, every document belonged to taxpayers. Whether the materials were national security briefings, reams of unclassified documents automatically uploaded to a secure server in Pennsylvania or notes that Trump routinely ripped up or flushed down the toilet — all were government property to be assessed and, in most cases, transferred as part of the nation’s history to the National Archives.
Trump’s lawyers and aides were well versed in the records act, even if Trump routinely flouted it. Donald McGahn, Trump’s first White House counsel, instituted a protocol for the proper handling of materials and gave presentations on the law to staff members, former officials said. After the 2020 election, White House officials held conversations about the fact that someone needed to retrieve documents that Trump had accumulated in the residence over many months, according to former officials.
By the end of the administration, White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy, Patrick Philbin, were keenly aware that Trump’s handling of documents was a potential problem, according to people in their orbit.
But it is unclear how much bandwidth either man had to deal with the issue. Trump was on contentious terms with Cipollone after the election, and often berated the lawyer for objecting to his attempts to subvert Joe Biden’s victory, according to former officials.
Adding to the disarray was the absence of White House staff secretary Derek Lyons, who managed paperwork inside the executive complex but had stepped down Dec. 18, 2020. That left Meadows, a former House member with no significant executive experience before joining Trump’s staff, responsible for overseeing a transition process the president wanted no part of.
Meadows’ immediate predecessors in that role — President Barack Obama’s last chief of staff, Denis McDonough, and President George W. Bush’s final chief of staff, Joshua Bolten — had created teams to scrub West Wing offices of anything that belonged to the archives and made the stewardship of government records a priority.
It is unclear whether Meadows took the same measures, former aides said. But in the administration’s final weeks, the White House emailed all of its offices detailed instructions about returning documents and cleaning out their spaces. Meadows followed up on those notes and encouraged offices to comply, according to a person familiar with those conversations.
Meadows also assured White House staff members that he would talk to Trump about securing records, including ones stashed in the residence, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.
Regardless of whether Meadows followed through on those promises, by early 2021, after Trump had left the White House, officials with the archives realized they were missing significant material.
They reached out to, among others, Scott Gast, who had been a lawyer in the White House counsel’s office under Trump, and Philbin. The two men, along with Meadows and four other Trump officials, had been appointed by Trump on his last full day in office to work with the National Archives.
The archivists were particularly insistent about getting back the missing correspondence from the North Korean leader and a letter left on the Resolute Desk for Trump by Obama, both of significant historical value.
Archives officials also asked Gast and Philbin about the roughly two dozen boxes that had been in the residence during the Trump administration’s final days. Philbin responded that he would work to get them in the hands of the archives and reached out to Meadows, who said he would help make it happen, according to former officials.
But archives officials did not get what they wanted until they traveled to Mar-a-Lago and retrieved 15 boxes of material this past January. Subsequently, archives officials told Trump’s team that they had identified social media records that had not been preserved, and that they had learned White House staff members had not preserved official business they had conducted on their personal electronic messaging accounts.
They referred the matter to the Justice Department. In the spring, Philbin and Gast were questioned by the FBI about the boxes; Cipollone was also interviewed at some point. A grand jury was formed.
In June, one of Trump’s lawyers signed a statement asserting that all relevant documents with classified markings from the boxes that had been requested — by then they were stored in a basement area at Mar-a-Lago — had been returned. The Justice Department would later file a detailed affidavit to a federal judge in Florida, revealing that the department believed possible crimes had been committed, precipitating the search Aug. 8 at the club.
Declassifying FBI Materials
One of the few robust discussions about government documents at the end of the Trump administration focused on Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI investigation into whether the Trump campaign conspired with Russian officials. While that inquiry, which began in 2016, did not ultimately accuse Trump of criminal behavior, he remained obsessed with it throughout his term.
In Trump’s last weeks in office, Meadows, with the president’s blessing, prodded federal law enforcement agencies to declassify a binder of Crossfire Hurricane materials that included unreleased information about the FBI’s investigative steps and text messages between two former top FBI officials, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who had sharply criticized Trump in their private communications during the 2016 election.
The FBI worried that releasing more information could compromise the bureau, according to people familiar with the debate. Meadows dismissed those arguments, saying that Trump wanted the information declassified and disseminated, they said.
Three days before Trump’s last day in office, the White House and the FBI settled on a set of redactions, and Trump declassified the rest of the binder. Meadows intended to give the binder to at least one conservative journalist, according to multiple people familiar with his plan. But he reversed course after Justice Department officials pointed out that disseminating the messages between Strzok and Page could run afoul of privacy law, opening officials up to suits.
None of those documents, or any other materials pertaining to the Russia investigation, were believed to be in the cache of documents recovered by the FBI during the search of Mar-a-Lago, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Trump’s final hours in office were in large part consumed by pardons. On the evening of Jan. 19, 2021, he pardoned Steve Bannon, his former chief strategist who had been indicted by federal prosecutors in New York for defrauding Trump’s supporters.
The next morning, during his last minutes in office, he pardoned Al Pirro, the former husband of Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, who in 2000 had been convicted of tax evasion and conspiracy and sentenced to 29 months in prison.
Amid the pardons, many or all of the boxes in Trump’s residence were shipped off — it is not clear precisely when or by what means — to Mar-a-Lago.
Letter for Biden
If Trump or Meadows needed a paradigm for the appropriate handling of government documents, they needed to look no further than Vice President Mike Pence’s office.
Two of Pence’s senior aides — Marc Short, his chief of staff, and Greg Jacob, his counsel — oversaw the indexing and boxing up of all of his government papers, according to three former officials with knowledge of the work.
Their goal: ensuring that Pence left office without a single paper that did not belong to him, one of the officials said.
That was in line with the record-keeping actions of the Obama administration, a process that was overseen by Dana Remus. She returned to the White House at 10 a.m. on Biden’s Inauguration Day to meet Cipollone in her new capacity as the incoming president’s counsel.
The meeting was short, and it set a pattern of amiable conversations between the two lawyers over the next year, according to people familiar with their interactions.
There were no comparable interactions between Meadows and Ron Klain, Biden’s incoming White House chief of staff.
After weeks of rebuffing Klain’s invitations to meet in person, Meadows told Klain to come to his big corner office — soon to be Klain’s office — at 10 a.m. on Inauguration Day, after Trump was set to depart. When Klain arrived, no one was inside. Klain waited until someone came to get him, saying that Meadows was in the basement, in the Situation Room. They finally met at 10:45 a.m.
“I’m sorry this meeting is late. I only have a few minutes to meet with you,” Meadows said, explaining that Trump had departed late for his final trip to Joint Base Andrews, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
That afternoon, Biden arrived in the Oval Office and found a letter waiting for him in a drawer from Trump. It was two large pages, with Trump’s distinctive handwriting visible to an aide watching Biden read it. The new president remarked that Trump had been more gracious in the letter than he had anticipated.
It was one of Biden’s first records that will have to be turned over to the archives.

As opening day for area public schools looms, parents and students can take solace in the fact that administrators across the region have been focused on an issue that took on added significance at the end of the last school year: student safety.
On May 24, an 18-year-old gunman entered the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where he massacred 19 students and two teachers. The after-action reports on the incident showed a number of weaknesses in the police response, including the fact that officers failed to enter the classroom where the gunman was holed up with children, leading to what authorities say were additional murders.
As a result of the massacre — and because of an uptick in post-pandemic student violence — area school districts are hiring police officers, adding internal hallway monitors to their payrolls, beefing up security camera systems and coming up with emergency response plans in an ongoing effort to thwart any kind of tragedies like the one in Uvalde.
Measures are also being taken in area schools to thwart the growing problem of student violence, attributed by many to the stresses of learning in the midst of a pandemic, with students missing weeks of in-person classroom time while spending time isolated at home while attempting, at times successfully at other times not so much, online learning. It has become well documented that the pandemic led to a rise in mental health issues and behavioral problems, which manifest themselves as fights and other conflicts in schools.
In Methuen, for example, the School Committee on Aug. 8 approved the hiring of three building safety monitors whose role will be to patrol every inch of Methuen High School every school day, according to a report on the meeting by reporter Christopher Roberson. He reported that the committee approved the plan presented by Superintendent Brandi Kwong, which was created by her and her staff with help from police in response to a safety assessment done after a May 2 stabbing at the high school.
Kwong said the safety monitors will be employed by the district rather than by an outside agency.
“We need them hands-on, on the ground,” she said. “They’re going to be part of our team.”
Each position will have an annual salary of $40,000.
In Andover, as reported in a story this week by Teddy Tauscher, Andover School Superintendent Magda Parvey announced the hiring of a school resource officer for the coming school year.
“Student safety and security of our buildings are always top of mind and recent incidents of gun violence have sharpened the focus of these priorities for my administration,” Parvey said in a recent email to parents. “As part of the district’s assessment of security and safety practices within our schools, I am pleased to announce the appointment of a school resource officer (SRO) for Andover High School.”
In Danvers, Interim Superintendent Mary Wermers announced in June the district had applied for a $200,000 school violence prevention program grant to enhance its school safety plan, according to a story by reporter Caroline Enos.
Through the grant, the district would buy more security cameras for the high school, middle school and some elementary schools, along with better-quality video doorbells for schools that need them, Wermers said. Meetings have also been held with administrators and teachers to reinforce safety protocols.
“This summer, we’re going to look at any recommendations that are coming out of the analysis of the Robb Elementary School shooting, and use that as a lens to look at our procedures,” Wermers said. “We’ll also be meeting with Danvers police to do that, as well.”
Similar efforts are underway in schools across the region, as well as in New Hampshire, as administrators deal with the reality of threats of gun violence and student unrest.

BATTERY EGG FARMING
A shameful reputation on farm-animal welfare
Re “Decision on battery farming slammed” (Sunday Age, 21/8). Federal Agriculture Minister Murray Watt needs to research the egg industry’s long history of opposition to a ban on cage eggs before defending this cruel industry. Past Liberal and Labor governments, state and federal, allowed the review of the egg industry standards and regulations to drag on for 12 years. The final result is a continuation of cage eggs for another 10 to 15 years.
Although the community has widely adopted free-range eggs, consumers are largely unaware that the processing industry remains a large user of cage eggs in everyday products they buy, such as cakes, biscuits, ice cream, pasta, etc. Australia will not enjoy a good international reputation for farm-animal welfare until egg producers abolish cages.
Charles Davis, Hawthorn
Decisions based purely on economic factors
I am disgusted with the decision to delay the review on caged chickens for another 14 years. We are supposed to be a civilised society yet time and time again, our governments and businesses make decisions based purely on economic factors.
I heard a representative from the egg industry say it would take them more than 10 years to phase out their cage-egg production – that is not very agile for a business. They also suggested that these horrendous conditions were acceptable because it was their duty to provide consumers with cheap eggs.
By this argument one could have maintained that retaining slavery on cotton farms was acceptable because it cut the cost of cotton. (And, no, I am not saying that human slavery is comparable to battery farming. It is the argument I have problems with).
The purchase cost difference between cage eggs and barn laid/free range is less than a cup of coffee. I urge all consumers to vote with their wallets and stop buying cage eggs.
Vicki Jordan, Lower Plenty
The consumer backlash will only intensify, Minister
The widespread belief that a Labor government would be receptive to the vocal and long-standing public opposition to battery-cage hens – which would see Australia phase out the cruel practice well before 2036 and in sync with the Europe Union, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and some American states – has been rebuked by a one-eyed industry and “egg heads” in government departments.
Consumers have been hoodwinked by industry, government and big supermarket chains. Murray Watt, do not be surprised if a consumer backlash to refuse cage-laid eggs is intensified and protest campaigns become more vociferous.
Kirsten Anderson, Hawksburn
Another 14 years of this inhumane practice
A graphic photo of a scared and helpless chicken in a cramped cage should be mandated on every pack of eggs from battery farming. This approach has worked with plain-package cigarettes that feature diseased lungs, for example.
Why must we continue with this inhumane practice until 2036? Is the cost of living argument sufficient to allow us to close our eyes to this horrific treatment of defenceless chickens, or is it just a matter of “out of sight, out of mind”? Someone who mistreats a dog or cat will be rightly criticised but if we cannot see it (battery-farmed eggs), then apparently it does not happen.
Geoff Wenham, Malvern East
Making ethically informed decisions when we shop
Buying free-range eggs in opposition to battery-farmed ones can lead consumers to think they are doing the right thing due to the hazy notion of “free range”, especially by major supermarkets.
There are apps that access the degree of free range via the egg carton’s barcode. If you care about the amount of battery livestock you consume, this technology allows you to make an ethically informed decision.
Jae Sconce, Moonee Ponds
THE FORUM
A necessary breakaway
Re “Church split is like losing family” (Comment, 20/8). As a lay member of a Melbourne Anglican Church, I find Archbishop Philip Freier’s assessment of the breakaway Anglican diocese disappointing. His hope is that “Australian Anglicans will persist in the hard work of finding unity across difference.
Surely our archbishop is aware that attempts at this have been going on for not just years but decades to little avail? It implies a degree of naivety to suggest such attempts continue endlessly.
Rather, as all those involved in the new diocese have expressed, at times a deeply sad but necessary breakaway is necessary. His acknowledgment of this would go a long way towards ensuring the family does not split any further.
Andrew Laird, Malvern
A leader with passion
What times we live in when the Finnish ask their prime minister to stand down over a dance and a drink with friends (The Age, 20/8). Sanna Marin is passionate about dancing and passionate about the environment. Go, prime minister.
Sharyn Bhalla, Ferntree Gully
Dance on, prime minister
Finland’s prime minister has committed only one sin – singing and dancing to absolutely appalling music. Other than that, Sanna Marin, rage on. You make the world a happier place.

Ron Barassi, mark 2?
Will history repeat itself? In 1972, the struggling North Melbourne club scored the coaching coup of the century when they lured the great coach, Ron Barassi, to Arden Street. Great success followed.
Now, 50 years later, a similarly struggling North have signed an outstanding coach, Alastair Clarkson, to save the club. I hope the result is the same.
Peter Sheridan, Mildura
Welcome from a Kangaroo
Thanks, Alastair Clarkson, for accepting the coaching challenge at my footy club, North Melbourne. A decision exhibiting dignity and respect where none was shown by Essendon Football Club. Welcome aboard.

It’s not about data
I no longer teach secondary students because I am too old. I do, though, teach other retirees how to see their world in a new way through art. That is one of the things teachers do.
Good teaching is not about filling in forms, attending meetings, justifying your existence or developing space-age curriculum and report systems.
None of those things are central. Why do you think other professionals have office staff? Current demands on teachers reflect someone else’s ignorance and are a waste of time and money.
Let me say that, for me, the pinnacle of each day was when something engaging, connecting and challenging came out of my mouth and the kids loved it.
Carol Oliver, Carlton
Support our writers, too
It was great to read about George Miller’s career and success (Good Weekend, 20/8), and to hear again how it has been significantly aided by the federal government’s producer offset – a 40per cent tax break – that substantially reduces financial risk for film makers.
But the question now arises, why is this offset not open to producers of plays and musicals? Who knows what fine works lie unseen on writers’ shelves and computers? Our theatres will continue to be swamped by over-hyped, foreign trash unless this changes.
Darryl Emmerson, playwright, Ballarat
We can learn from history
Malcolm Knox (Comment, 20/8) discusses when statues commemorating persons now recognised to have committed shameful acts should be removed, as exemplified by William Crowther, a surgeon, who in 1869 mutilated the corpse of an Aboriginal man, William Lanne, sent his skull to the Royal College of Surgeons to support theories of white racial superiority, and put another skull on Lanne’s body.
There is an alternative to cancelling such people so that we can learn from history. In Fremantle, the Explorers Monument was erected in 1913 to commemorate the killing of three explorers by Aborigines in 1864. However, in 1994 a plaque was added to tell the full story of how a subsequent extrajudicial punitive party tortured and killed at least 20 Aborigines.
By analogy, in Hobart an informative plaque (in consultation with Tasmania’s Indigenous community) could be placed next to Crowther’s statue so that the man and his era can be judged. We should take steps to correct history but not pretend we can abolish it.
Bruce Hocking, Camberwell
A deep lack of respect
Re the apology from Foxtel to actor Emelia Clarke after its chief executive Patrick Delany called her a “short, dumpy girl” (The Age, 19/8). Film critic Travis Johnson tweeted that he “turned to my mate for clarification as I simply didn’t believe someone would say that on mic”.
It was not appropriate to say that, with or without a microphone. When will people understand that it is so wrong to describe anyone by their body shape? Respect, please.
Linda O’Brien, Cape Paterson
Phew, what a relief
I have just received my three-monthly electricity bill. It is up by about 50per cent on bills received in July/August over the past two years. And without any identifiable reason. Thank heavens our wages and social welfare payments are increasing at the same rate.
Michael Gamble, Belmont
A duty to come clean?
What would the governor-general have done if one of the duped ministers had got wind of the situation and asked him outright whether Scott Morrison was sharing his or her portfolio? What would his obligation have been?
Margaret Maguire, Coburg
The benefit of praying
Tony Wright (The Age, 20/8) quotes from Niki Savva’s book, Plots and Prayers, that Stuart Robert and Scott Morrison prayed that “righteousness would exalt the nation”. It seems that their prayers have finally been answered.
Phil Melgaard, Drummond North
More Flanagan, please
One of the joys of having a copy of The Age delivered (wrinkle-dried after dawn rain) are wonderful words such as “Jabberwocky” in large-size font (The Last Word, 20/8). Thank you, Richard Flanagan, wordsmith extraordinaire, and The Age’s printing press technicians. Although the subject matter – Scott Morrison’s conduct – was wretched.
Julia Monsbourgh, Kyneton
We need the loop as...
Creation of the Suburban Rail Loop must continue. As our city increases in population, and population density, the need for ever-improving public transport will also increase. I recognise and regret the loss of parkland.
Our government and politicians must just not look at the next election. They have a responsibility to the state and future generations, and good public transport that assists in decentralisation is a huge part of that responsibility.
Car focus for transport is short-sighted. Build more roads and get more cars and more pollution. A big part of any public transport is also accessibility. Train stations must have lots of cycle parking.
Earle Orenstein, Caulfield South
...it is a clear winner
Bus travel between locations on the proposed Suburban Rail Loop may well be a “simpler and cheaper” alternative to train travel (Letters, 20/8), but it is very much slower.
Recently I worked at the Burwood campus of Deakin University where the 20-kilometre trip from home (near Cheltenham train station) to the university took a minimum of 90 minutes by bus, and about 40 minutes by car. Even riding my one-woman-powered bicycle beat the 300-horsepower bus by 30 minutes.
The same trip is estimated to take 20 minutes by train. Time-wise, the loop is a clear winner for the many thousands of workers and students whose daily commute requires cross-suburban travel.
Jan Garrard, Beaumaris
Problems with the loop
Much has been written about the Suburban Rail Loop’s cost estimates. These are not the central issue. I have read the business and investment case for the loop and it points to a central benefit being “intensifying urban development and creating a shift in urban form”.
This is about curtailing urban-fringe growth by providing affordable housing near the enhanced suburban rail system. The business case describes the lack of affordable housing with good access to workplaces and amenities as entrenching economic disparity and diminishing social inclusion and overall community health and wellbeing.
The problem now, and in the future, unless something else is done about it, is that the loop will not produce affordable housing with good access. In fact, it may do the opposite. Also, it is likely to encourage urban-fringe growth rather than contain it. Over to you, Daniel Andrews and Jacinta Allan.
Bernie O’Kane, Heidelberg
Please pick up your litter
What is it with Melbourne and litter? It seems to be getting worse. I have just returned from a four-day break in Sydney and was amazed to find clean streets with no litter to be seen. I have had to spend 15 minutes picking up rubbish in our street in the St Kilda Road precinct. Is it a cultural difference? Why can’t we be like Sydney and live in clean streets?

MOSCOW — The daughter of a Russian nationalist ideologist who is often referred to as "Putin's brain" was killed when her car exploded on the outskirts of Moscow, officials said Sunday.
The Investigative Committee branch for the Moscow region said the Saturday night blast was caused by a bomb planted in the SUV driven by Daria Dugina.
The 29-year-old was the daughter of Alexander Dugin, a prominent proponent of the "Russian world" concept ideology and a vehement supporter of Russia's sending of troops into Ukraine.
Dugina expressed similar views and had appeared as a commentator on the nationalist TV channel Tsargrad.
"Dasha, like her father, has always been at the forefront of confrontation with the West," Tsargrad said on Sunday, using the familiar form of her name.
The explosion took place as Dugina was returning from a cultural festival she had attended with her father. Some Russian media reports cited witnesses as saying the vehicle belonged to her father and that he had decided at the last minute to travel in another car.
No suspects were immediately identified. But Denis Pushilin, president of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic that is a focus of Russia's fighting in Ukraine, blamed it on "terrorists of the Ukrainian regime, trying to kill Alexander Dugin."

Source: Ngozi Mine’s young mothers suffering in silence | The Standard (Local News)
BY SHARON SIBINDI
One of Bulawayo’s most infamous informal settlements, Ngozi Mine, is proving to be a very dangerous place for women and girls.
The settlement near Richmond is teaming with young women with broken limbs and hearts, who are victims of gender-based violence (GBV).
Teenage mothers as young as 14, some of whom claim to have been forced into marriages because of poverty among other reasons, face unimaginable abuse from their partners.
Poverty is also making life difficult for the teen mothers.
While cases of GBV are rife, the child brides prefer to keep their silence.
Seeking help from neighbours and other persons can easily earn the child brides a beating so severe she may not be seen outdoors for weeks.
One such woman, looking way older than her age, narrates a heart-rending tale of GBV.
“I am 22 years old and my marriage has been hell. He beats me so much especially when he is drunk,” the woman who requested anonymity fearing a beating from her husband said.
“I can’t go to the hospital or report him to the police because I depend on him.
I prefer to stay home till I am healed. I have no option but to hold on.
“I am not working.
“I ran away from home at Emganwini due to some reasons and I got pregnant at 16.”
She added: “I face challenges where I have to prioritise food and basics over sanitary wear because it’s expensive and the money I get from my partner is always very little.”
Another victim said she was forced into marriage at an early age after running away from her abusive stepmother at home.
She survives through waste picking.
The young mothers look defeated by life while their knowledge of contraceptives is minimal.
Without knowledge of contraceptives, the child brides become “baby making machines”.
One victim said her husband almost beat her to death when he found birth control pills in her purse.
“I don’t want to hear about family planning because it’s dangerous,” she said.
“My husband almost killed me when I took pills from a local clinic,” the woman, who was breastfeeding while two small children battled for her attention as well.
Another victim, aged 21 years, told Sunday Southern Eye that she has three children and is an abusive marriage.
“My husband is a womaniser and beats me up if I ask him about these women,” she said.
“I am scared he might get infected with diseases and infect me.”
The village head in the area, Sithembile Ndlovu-Tshuma said the squatter camp has several cases of GBV particularly involving child brides.
“At times these ‘so-called marriages’ are caused by the parents themselves,” Ndlovu-Tshuma said.
“For example, a girl child may come late and be told to go back where they were.
“It becomes difficult for a child who has to go back to her boyfriend’s place.
“She stays there until she gets pregnant, and gets abused.”
She said most of the teen mothers also do not have identity documents.
“This now becomes an ongoing cycle as their babies also fail to get identity documents,” she said.
A person without documents cannot go to school or benefit from government social welfare programmes.
“Again talking to these children is a challenge because each family has its own rules,” Ndlovu-Tshuma said.
“ I can’t interfere because at the end of the day I may clash with their husbands,” the village had said.
Her husband, Donald said: “I have also tried to give guidance to some couples, but it is a challenge.
“You are forced to keep quiet because even if you tell them not to beat up their wives, they regard you as an enemy who wants to break up their marriage.”
Scripture Union Zimbabwe-Thuthuka Children’s Project is now offering a ray of hope for the abused child brides through various interventions.
“We try to empower them through equipping them with skills and information for them to make informed decisions regardless of their challenges,” Scripture Union Child support officer Best Ndlovu said.
“The organisation has managed to assist some of them to go back to school, learn vocational skills and also to access basic services like sexual reproductive health including offering counselling to GBV victims.”
Ndlovu said they were also providing family planning tablets to the teen mothers.
“As it is, we have one teenage mother in Ngozi Mine who got pregnant at 14 years and is now pregnant with her second baby at 16 years,” he said.
The Zimbabwe Gender Commission recently conducted a national inquiry on Child Marriages and Sexual Exploitation and Abuse of Young Girls in the country..
The Zimbabwe Statistical Agency confirms that levels of child marriage remain unacceptably high in Zimbabwe.
It is said that one woman out of three in Zimbabwe aged 20 to 49 was married before the age of 18, and 5% of girls are married before the age of 15.
According to the 2019 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICs), (32.6%) of girls were married before the age of 18.

Former major leaguer Bill Lee had stopped breathing after collapsing in the bullpen during an exhibition game, but paramedics and two shocks with a defibrillator helped resuscitate the 75-year-old pitcher, according to a witness at the scene.
“Without immediate intervention, I do not believe he’d be here today,” Town of Thunderbolt Administrator Bob Milie told The Associated Press on Saturday, a day after the cardiac episode during a game for the popular Savannah Bananas.
“He wasn’t breathing,” said Milie, who’s also a firefighter in the Georgia town a few miles from Savannah. “It was very, very dire.”
Bananas manager Eric Byrnes posted a picture to Twitter of himself with Lee — a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame — at Memorial Health University Medical Center on Saturday.
One of Lee’s daughters arrived in town and was at the hospital with him, team president Jared Orton said.
“She said he’s in good spirits and continues to be evaluated for next steps in recovery, but is certainly acting like himself,” Orton said in an email to the AP.
Orton said a member of the Bananas’ front office stayed with Lee at the hospital past midnight.
Milie was at Grayson Stadium to see the Bananas, an entertaining team known for its bright yellow uniform and its clowning antics on and off the field. The game against the Party Animals was on ESPN2.
Lee, fondly nicked “Spaceman” for his irreverent approach during his days with the Red Sox and Montreal Expos, had previously pitched for the Bananas. When he went down Friday night, some people in the ballpark thought for an instant that it might’ve been part of their team’s “Bananas Ball” act.
“You never know with the Bananas. It was like ’is this … Wait, this is definitely not part of the show,’” Milie said.
Milie, who wasn’t part of the team that treated Lee, praised all the EMTs, police, firefighters and rescue personnel at the scene for their swift action.
Milie said Lee was shocked twice with the defibrillator on the field.
“The second one, that seemed to do the trick, got the heart beating,” he said.
Lee was able to leave the field with assistance and the game later resumed.
In 14 seasons with Boston and Montreal, Lee went 119-90. An All-Star in 1973, the left-hander helped pitch the Red Sox into the 1975 World Series and started Game 7 against Cincinnati. Lee exited in the seventh inning and Boston later lost to Cincinnati 4-3.

For Melbourne woman Chaya Goldman, early detection of her cancer was life-saving.
Goldman was just 26 when a test revealed she had a variant in the BRCA2 gene, which means she had a significant risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
She had no family history.
"You never really think it's going to be you," Goldman said.
Early discovery meant she had options and could undergo regular screening and even preventative surgery.
"It gave me the time to think about it without having to make drastic decisions straight away," she said.
The world's rivers are drying up from extreme weather
It's why Monash University researchers want more Australians to have access to screening.
They are now recruiting 10,000 people aged 18-40 to undergo a saliva test at home.
The test is free and involves placing a saliva sample into a small tube received by mail and sending it back in a postage-paid envelope.
Those people considered high risk will receive genetic counselling about the next steps for prevention.
Monash University DNA screening program co-lead Jane Tiller said eligible registrants would be fully informed about possible outcomes before committing.
"We have worked hard to design an innovative, informative online consent process that ensures people understand the test they are having and the information they might receive," she said.
"We expect to identify about one in 75 people at high risk of these diseases.
"Those found to be high risk won't necessarily get the disease but pinpointing risk before symptoms appear enables prevention through regular check-ups, medication, or risk-reducing surgery. It could save their life.
"If successful, this approach could dramatically improve access to genetic testing on a wide scale and save countless lives across a range of conditions."
Researchers are hopeful this type of screening will one day be publicly funded for everyone to ultimately save more lives.
"It's easier to have yearly MRIs than to get cancer," Goldman said. | https://www.9news.com.au/national/australia-world-first-dna-screening-cancer-heart-disease-risk-monash-university/219b5b6a-fb4b-4f53-8f43-d5d8958f0df0 | 2022-08-21T11:15:44Z | https://www.9news.com.au/national/australia-world-first-dna-screening-cancer-heart-disease-risk-monash-university/219b5b6a-fb4b-4f53-8f43-d5d8958f0df0 | false | 1 |

He will be seeking to lead the party to return to Government after losing out in the last 2 general elections.

A teenager has come out in Riverdale, and no, it's not noted "woman-hater" Jughead Jones.
If ever there was a sign of changing attitudes toward homosexuality, Archie Comics, the aggressively mainstream and relentlessly wholesome comic books featuring redheaded Archie Andrews and his friends, will introduce gay teen Kevin Keller in Veronica No. 202, on sale September 1.
Veteran Archie artist Dan Parent says he'd been toying with the idea of a gay character for a while. Kevin finally came to life in a story meeting Parent had with Jon Goldwater, the co-chief executive of Archie Comic Publications, and editor in chief Victor Gorelick.
"We're batting story ideas around and Dan says, 'What if Veronica, who's able to get everything she wants, isn't able to get something? What if a new good-looking boy comes into town and Veronica wants to date him and he turns her down?'" Goldwater recalls in an interview. "And I say, 'Why would he do that?' And Dan says, 'Because he's gay.' And I say, 'Now that's funny. That's a good premise.' "
In Parent's story, titled "Isn't It Bromantic?," Kevin arrives in Riverdale and immediately piques the interest of rich, spoiled Veronica. After Kevin and Jughead enjoy some homosocial bonding at a hamburger-eating contest, Jughead warns the new kid that Veronica isn't likely to stop pursuing him until he returns her flirtations. "It's nothing against her. I'm gay," Kevin explains nonchalantly, showing how much more casual coming out has become since the X-Men superhero Northstar made headlines in 1992 with this clunky announcement: "For while I am not inclined to discuss my sexuality with people for whom it is none of their business—I am gay!"
“I love the idea that when Jughead finds out Kevin’s gay, his reaction isn’t, ‘Whoa, that’s weird!’ but, ‘Hey, I can totally use that to prank Veronica.’”
Far from being labored, Kevin's coming out feels entirely relevant to a comic book about how teens relate. What's more, Parent uses Kevin's sexuality as an ingenious plot device that fits seamlessly within the well-worn Archie narrative. "Kevin is going to tell her that he's gay, but Jughead tells him not to because he enjoys seeing Veronica making a fool of herself," Parent explains. "Everyone knows he's gay except Veronica. Betty doesn't push it because she realizes if Veronica is chasing Kevin then she's got the time for Archie."
If Kevin's sexuality isn't immediately obvious to Veronica—who, as Riverdale's most urbane resident, should supposedly have the most sophisticated gaydar—that might be because of how Parent has drawn the character. "He's well-dressed, but I didn't want to make him too flamboyant," the artist says. "He can be metrosexual, but I didn't want to play up to the stereotype. But he is fashionable, as many young guys are." (He's even more fashionable when imagined by Donatella Versace, who created the above rendition of Kevin exclusively for The Daily Beast.)
Kevin's arrival was announced in April, and Goldwater didn't worry about protesters storming the gates. "I really think what we're doing reflects what goes on in the world. I'm really thrilled with how people have reacted," he says, adding that the few angry readers who have canceled their subscriptions have been far outnumbered by supporters who've become new subscribers because of Kevin.
"There has not been that much backlash," says Parent, who notes that his daughter and Goldwater's daughter, both teenagers, had been nudging the company in this direction for a while. "I was prepared, but really it's been overwhelmingly positive. Anyone under 25 thinks it's a non-issue. Even friends of mine who are very conservative, I wasn't sure what their take would be, but they're at least saying, 'I understand it. It's 2010, it's a different world.' "
By way of comparison, Gorelick, who's worked at the company for 51 years, cites the May 2009 announcement of a comic book that depicted Archie settling down with Veronica. (It was eventually followed up by a book imagining an alternate future with the more obvious choice, Betty.) "You should have seen the backlash we got when we announced that Archie was marrying Veronica!" laughs Gorelick.
Chris Sims, a comic-book writer and senior writer at ComicsAlliance.com who blogs at Chris's Invincible Super-Blog, is among the Archie fans applauding Kevin's introduction. "I think it's great," he says in an email. "This is Archie Comics, the last bastion of idealized small-town life, going, 'Yep, this is totally OK.' Plus, I love the idea that when Jughead finds out Kevin's gay, his reaction isn't, 'Whoa, that's weird!' but, 'Hey, I can totally use that to prank Veronica.' "
Sims also voices his approval for other recent innovations at Archie, which include Twilight and Jersey Shore parodies and digital comics. "A lot of the Archie books have this feeling to them that they're like old folks trying to make jokes that kids like. They do gags about text messaging, but from the way they set the jokes up [it seems] they're not quite sure what exactly text messaging entails," he says. "Lately, though, they've really been stepping up their game."
Much of this change, summarized in a recent New York Times profile, can be attributed to co-CEO Goldwater, son of John Goldwater, who co-founded the company in 1939. "One of my big missions coming in was to contemporize Archie," says Goldwater, who took over following the death of his half-brother in April 2009. "I felt like the world was moving forward and Archie was not."
As for how Kevin will move forward, Parent says the character's next appearance will be in Veronica No. 205. His sexuality "is brought up again," Parent says. "There will be stories where it isn't an issue.
We're establishing the fact that he's gay and then it'll come up when it's necessary."
For the foreseeable future, however, expect Kevin Keller to be to Archie Comics what Matt Fielding was to Melrose Place: the gay guy who plays a supporting role in the drama of the straights without generating much drama of his own. "We haven't planned anything like that at this point," Gorelick says when asked whether Kevin might get a boyfriend down the road. "He still has to get into the swing of things with being a student at Riverdale High."
But while it may be years before Kevin gets to bring a date to the sock hop, the folks at Archie, aware of the social message Kevin projects—"Riverdale is accepting of everybody and we hope the world is accepting of everybody," Goldwater says—promise that he'll be a permanent member of the gang. "Especially in the gay community, we've reassured people that we're not going to dump him after this," says Parent. "The Kevin character is here to stay."

At least we know one group of people won’t have to worry about how to pay their energy bills this winter - the partners of the giant accounting firm PwC.
We learned this week that the average - repeat, average - partner will now be making £1m a year. If nothing else, that should allow them to keep the heating on through December and January, upgrade to a smarter Tesla, and put some fresh gravel on the driveway.
Surely we have reached the point where the bean counters are paid too much? Of course, no one should object to anyone making a big salary from hard work and enterprise. And yet, there are major problems with an economy that pays its accountants and its management consultants this well.
In reality, they are the referees of the game, and not its strikers or playmakers. The quality of their work is increasingly abysmal, with audited accounts no longer a reliable guide to what is happening at a company, and consultancy contracts that overcharge and under-deliver.
Worst of all, it siphons off talent into what is little more than rent-seeking when we need it in manufacturing, technology and start-ups. Vast accountancy salaries are a symptom of a system that isn’t working - and the sooner they come down again the better.
Lots of people may be struggling to make ends meet. Real wages may be falling at an accelerating rate. And only the bargain shops are doing any kind of business. Still, the partners of PwC don’t have to worry about any of that.
On Thursday, the firm said that the pay for its 995 most senior employees would top £1m for the first time, made up of £920,000 in basic pay, a 12pc rise over last year, and another £105,000 from the sale of its mobility and immigration unit.
Others are not quite in the same league, at least not yet. Even so, KPMG upped partner pay by 20pc this year, while Deloitte is already close to £1m per partner, and may breach that barrier later this year. We are not far from the point where seven figures will be standard for the major accounting firms.
That is great for them, of course. No one should begrudge high incomes, especially when it rewards exceptional talent. And of course a lot of that money comes from consultancy rather than just auditing, even if the two are closely linked. But you don’t exactly need to be Leon Trotsky to think that there may be something wrong with an economy that rewards its bean counters quite so lavishly. In reality, there are four key problems.
PwC partners are really just the referees of the game. No one thinks the guy with the whistle should be paid more than Harry Kane, or the linesman more than Cristiano Ronaldo. They enforce the rules, and that matters to some degree. But it is hardly what counts.
The same is true of accountants. No matter how much they blather on about it in the corporate brochures, no real wealth is created by the auditors; they simply check that it is tallied up correctly. Likewise, very occasionally some consultants come up with an innovative idea, but typically they just provide cover for sacking people. No genuine value is created by the entire industry.
Next, the quality of the work is increasingly abysmal. From Patisserie Valerie to Carillion it is hard for even those of us who follow the financial news very closely to keep up with all the scandals that the auditors have cheerfully managed to overlook while they were meant to be checking the books.
Most investors these days treat the published accounts as an interesting diversion, but don’t expect them to be in any way accurate, nor do they see them as guaranteeing the business won’t collapse amid a blizzard of frauds a few minutes after the auditors gave it a clean bill of health.
The consultants, if anything, are often even worse. No one really needs another botched IT system, nor do they really need more expensive advice on how to hit diversity targets or revamp a corporate social responsibility programme that was largely meaningless in the first place.
Bain & Co, one of the most prestigious firms, has just been quite rightly banned from work for the British Government over its conduct in South Africa, but it is very hard to believe that was not part of a wider malaise in a profession, if it deserves the name, that no longer appears to have any standards.
As the fees charged go higher and higher, the work gets worse and worse, and there is no sign that is going to change any time soon.
Finally, and perhaps most seriously, it sends out all the wrong signals. Anyone contemplating a career in business can’t help but be tempted by the vast amount of money they can now make, with very little risk, at PwC or one of the other major accounting firms.
A very average career ticking all the right boxes, and making sure you don’t rock any boats, will now make you extremely rich.
But we need our best, brightest, hardest working and most ambitious young people to make their careers in manufacturing, in technology, or working within their own start-ups, and not just becoming accountants. If that is where the money is, we can’t blame them. But we shouldn’t kid ourselves it is helping the country become more prosperous or the economy more competitive.
In reality, the extravagant rewards for PwC partners, and their peers at all the other major firms, are a symptom of a business culture that has become risk-averse, rent-seeking and where the incentives have been stacked against creativity, enterprise, and fresh thinking. The £1m barrier is nothing to celebrate. And the sooner all those partners are paid a bit less the better it will be for everyone else. | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/08/21/pwc-should-not-celebrated-paying-partners-1m/ | 2022-08-21T11:33:01Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/08/21/pwc-should-not-celebrated-paying-partners-1m/ | false | 1 |

If Randy Rainbow is adored by the legendary Carol Burnett, and he is, what flimsy excuse could TV academy voters have to deny him an Emmy for his fourth nomination?
Rainbow, who has raised musical parody to a political-satire art form, is again David facing Goliath. His competition in the short-form variety series category includes shows from James Corden, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers.
Corden's "Carpool Karaoke: The Series" has nabbed the award the past three years. Does Rainbow see the British actor-comedian as his chief nemesis?
"Nemesis is a strong word," Rainbow replied, waiting a perfectly timed beat: "Enemy," he said, tongue-in-cheek. "No, I'm a big James Corden fan, so it's been an honor to share the category with him. They could throw it to the little guy every once in a while."
It's true that the self-described little guy doesn't have a network or its resources to draw on. But his YouTube videos — typically merciless, fearless and peppy roasts of conservative politicians and policies — have racked up more than a half-billion views, and he's amassed 3 million-plus social media followers.
"He's a genius," Burnett said of Rainbow. "His lyrics are right up there with Stephen Sondheim ... In fact, Steve said he's one of the best lyricists around today. I mean, that's a quote from Sondheim, and that's from the master himself."
The late Sondheim said just that. John Legend and Lin-Manuel Miranda also are among Rainbow's many prominent admirers.
His latest Emmy nomination is for "Gay," which takes on Florida's GOP governor and the new law he championed that bans lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.
"It's my send-up, tribute I guess you could call it, to Ron DeSantis and his 'Don't Say Gay' bill," Rainbow said, using the title bestowed by its critics. "That video obviously has a lot of meaning, and I was very proud that it made such an impact. It was nice to be recognized for that one."
But it's the desire to entertain, not punditry, that drives his career, he said.
"I didn't get into this because of an interest in politics. I'm certainly more interested in politics now than I was when I started doing YouTube videos 11 years ago," he said, attributing the shift to his own maturity and the times.
"But I try to stay true to my initial intent, which is only to be amusing and bring a little levity to these situations which are otherwise anything but light," he said. "I think that that's the reason that it continues to resonate with people and why people still get a kick out of my stuff."
The escapism of make-believe is what helped sustain Rainbow — his real family name — as a shy and bullied youngster, along with the unstinting love of his mother, Gwen, and the grandmother he called Nanny. The three of them shared a love of music, and Rainbow credits Nanny's caustic humor as another key influence.
When he hit adolescence, Gwen Rainbow accepted without hesitation that her son was gay. In his touching and lively new memoir, "Playing With Myself," Rainbow recalls his mom's reassurance that she "loved her gay friends."
"I certainly didn't remember ever meeting them," Rainbow writes. "I mean, I'm gay five minutes and suddenly my mother's Liza Minnelli at Studio 54?"
His musician-father was "reasonably tolerant," Rainbow says in the book. But Gerry Rainbow dismissed young Randy's early artistic efforts, telling him he'd never earn a living "wearing wigs and making silly videos."
So much for predictions, with Rainbow's YouTube success just the start. He's on the road with his national "The Pink Glasses Tour," named for a favorite accessory (and a song he co-wrote with composer Alan Menken). His latest album, "A Little Brains, a Little Talent," includes duets with Bernadette Peters and Patti LuPone, Broadway stars he'd long admired from afar.
Rainbow still runs a lean video operation. The studio is in his two-bedroom New York City apartment, "where all the magic happens," he said during a recent Zoom interview, gesturing at the modest space. A producer, arranger and musicians tailor songs to Rainbow's specifications.
He writes the lyrics often set to the Broadway tunes that are his first love. In the guise of a TV reporter, he conducts mock interviews with clips of his targets before launching into a bespoke song. He's lead vocalist, his own backup singers in a dazzling array of costumes, and he does the editing.
He knows how to sell a song. Rainbow's supple voice adapts easily to every tune, and his boyishly handsome face becomes a veritable flipbook of vivid expressions that slide from faux sincerity to skepticism to wide-eyed alarm.
The source material Rainbow draws on is equally varied. "Gurl, You're a Karen," which mocks Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, is set to the tune of "Dentist," sung by Steve Martin in the 1986 film "Little Shop of Horrors."
"Gay" is set to "Shy," a song Burnett performed when she made her Tony-nominated Broadway debut in the 1959 musical "Once Upon a Mattress." In his first viral political video, Rainbow inserted himself as moderator of the 2016 Donald Trump-Hillary Clinton presidential debate and did a "Mary Poppins" riff on Trump's use of the impromptu word "braggadocious."
"He's super callous, fragile, egocentric braggadocious. Likes to throw big words around and hopes that we all notice. If he keeps repeating them they might just make him POTUS," belted out Rainbow.
The biting lyrics and brassy on-screen persona aside, Rainbow is "funny and loving, and there's just this kind of sweetness to him," said Burnett, a friend as well as a fan. "You just fall in love with him."
Burnett said she shares his political perspective, but Rainbow has learned from meeting fans that they aren't all in sync. Some have bluntly informed him they dislike his views but love his videos.
"In a way, what I'm trying to do is transcend the politics of it all. So that's always nice to hear," he said. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Randy-Rainbow-master-satirist-vies-with-17382188.php | 2022-08-21T11:46:35Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Randy-Rainbow-master-satirist-vies-with-17382188.php | false | 17 |

Stainless steel is a popular choice when it comes to kitchen sinks and appliances because it’s durable, affordable and low-maintenance — but it has its drawbacks.

Additionally, this can be a tricky surface to clean because ordinary multipurpose cleaners may leave a streaky residue behind. So how can you polish stainless steel sinks to keep them sparkling?

Oleksandr Usyk has warned Anthony Joshua not to mess with his teammates - or it will end up in a "bare-knuckle" fight.
The Ukrainian star came out on top at the second time of asking over Joshua in Saudi Arabia last night but this time via split decision. After the final bell sounded, Joshua was visibly emotional and upset by the result and after paying tribute to Ukraine with Usyk in an emotional prayer, he embarked on a series of outbursts.
He first tossed the belts out of the ring and stormed out towards the dressing rooms, before returning to deliver an emotional post-fight speech after hijacking the microphone and dragging Usyk to the centre of the ring. Joshua was seen confronting Usyk and his teammates after the final bell in a frustrated mood as he looked to explain his case.
However Usyk has told Joshua that he could have faced devastating consequences if he continued to push some of his teammates: "I feel nothing but respect for Anthony Joshua, he was a bit emotional and he was pulling some of my team-mates," Usyk said in the post-fight press conference when asked about his rival's reaction. "But I don’t recommend him a bare knuckle fight with them because they are horrible street fighters."
Joshua was visibly angered by the events that unfolded in the ring where he was unable to capitalise on any big opportunities to close the show with Usyk once again able to get ahead on the scorecards. And during the chaotic post-fight scenes, Joshua saluted his opponent in a bizarre post-fight rant.
The British star has now reflected on his actions and explained why he angrily stormed out of the ring following his defeat. "When you try and do things from the heart... it was from the heart," he said at the post-fight press conference. "I knew I was mad at myself, not at anyone, just at myself. I thought I had to get out of there because I was mad.
"Like anyone, when you're mad you might do stupid things. Then I realised, 'S*** it's a sport, let's do the right thing and come back'. In the speech I just spoke about where I came from, I was on the road and in the ring I made a transition. I laid it all on the line with my speech.
"It's been so tough. You see AJ holding it together; I'm a hustler... but it comes at a cost, a big cost. It will never break me but it takes real strength to not let it break me. Tonight there was a crack in the armour because I'd taken a defeat." | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/other-sport/boxing/oleksandr-usyk-responds-anthony-joshuas-27795004 | 2022-08-21T11:50:20Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/other-sport/boxing/oleksandr-usyk-responds-anthony-joshuas-27795004 | false | 2 |
MTV's Video Music Awards 2022 nominate BLACKPINK in 'Group of the Year' category, sparking fury amongst netizens.
On August 20, MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) made the much-anticipated announcement about the nomination of BLACKPINK.
They also revealed other nominations for the same category, including BTS and other international bands.
As the two popular K-Pop groups make it to the same category, fans have highlighted that BLACKPINK has not released any music video since October 2020 which makes them ineligible for this nomination.
For VMAs, the eligibility criteria for any artist to be nominated for an award, requires that their latest music must not be more than a year older.
Since BLACKPINK has been on a break for a year and ten months, ARMYs have called out MTV for violating their own eligibility criteria.
BLACKPINK'S latest music release was its virtual reality show 'The Virtual,' which was released on July 23 this year and got nominated for 'Best Metaverse Performance.'

Those of us who write and talk about money for a living tend to have our financial acts together. But that wasn’t always the case. I invited some personal finance experts to share what they wish they could have told their younger selves about money.
Invest early, even if it’s scaryIf the stock market scares you, nationally syndicated Washington Post columnist Michelle Singletary can relate. Singletary says she avoided investing for many years because in her first job out of college, an older co-worker — one who was close to retirement age — warned her that stocks were too risky.
Singletary later realized that someone in their 20s has decades to ride out stock market swings, and that she could have afforded to take much more risk with her investments.
“The lesson I learned was to look at my own individual situation and invest based on my timeline and goals,” Singletary says.
Student loan debt can pay offDarian Woods , a reporter and producer for “The Indicator from Planet Money” podcast, says he can no longer remember exactly how much he borrowed to get a master’s in public policy from the University of California, Berkeley — just that his balance was “in the tens of thousands of dollars” by the time he graduated.
The debt felt enormous. Woods wishes he could reassure his anxious younger self that the loans were a solid investment in his future. Woods, a New Zealand native, landed a job as an analyst for his country’s treasury department and was able to pay off the loans in a year.
“That debt wasn’t as much of an albatross as I’d feared,” Woods says.
Saving, spending, earning: They’re all important
Paco de Leon , author of the book “Finance for the People: Getting a Grip On Your Finances, “ has two bits of advice for her younger self. The first is to save, no matter what. Saving can feel futile on a small income, but the amount you save is far less important than the habit of saving that you’ll develop, she says.
The second piece of advice: Deal with your pain.
De Leon graduated with a degree in finance and a minor in economics. But a head full of knowledge about money concepts was no match for what de Leon calls “a deep-rooted scarcity mindset” and a profound sense of inferiority. De Leon says she didn’t earn enough for years because she wasn’t convinced of her own worth and bought expensive things she couldn’t afford, hoping to get validation from others. She wishes her younger self had spent time in self-reflection and therapy to work through her psychological issues.
“Do the work to heal your pain, so you aren’t creating more unnecessary problems for yourself,” de Leon says.
Don’t make work your life
Tess Vigeland is host and senior producer of The Wall Street Journal’s “As We Work” podcast. She, too, has both practical and philosophical advice for her younger self.
The practical: Never, ever carry a credit card balance if you can help it.
“I got myself in deep credit debt throughout my early and mid-20s, because I lived life like I had my parents’ bank account, when in fact I had a tiny fraction of that,” Vigeland says.
The philosophical: Develop interests outside of your job.
Vigeland loved her work in public radio — until she didn’t. In 2012, she abruptly quit her job as host of American Public Media’s “Marketplace Money ,” a personal finance show, with no clue about what she wanted to do next.
Part of that journey became a book, “Leap: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want.” But Vigeland says life after public radio might have been easier if her work hadn’t been such a big part of her identity.
“Have something you love to do outside of what you do for a living,” Vigeland says. “It will help down the line if you decide to leap to another career or go back to school — you won’t be stuck in just one idea of who you are and what you can do.”
And my two centsMost of us can look back at our younger selves and see how much we’ve matured over time. But somehow we think our evolution has stopped. Whether we’re just starting our careers or have long since retired, the so-called “end of history illusion” convinces us that we won’t change much from the person we are today.
If I’d known about this psychological quirk, maybe I would have worried less about getting it all figured out and making exactly the right career and money moves. Who I am and what I want won’t stay the same. I’d tell my younger self that the important thing is to do the best I can today, and let tomorrow take care of itself.
(Spoiler alert: It all works out.)

Enna Jettick Park, the amusement park that once sat on the north end of Owasco Lake, where Emerson Park is today, was a happening place in the 1930s. As a full-fledged amusement park, all summer long the park offered exhibitions, daredevil performances, carnival rides, food, picnic areas and the pavilion, where some of the biggest names in popular music performed.
This was the big band era. "Swing" music was the rage, as were the various dances that were popular — the Lindy hop, the foxtrot, the jitterbug and many others. Among the nationally renowned musical attractions that appeared at the park were the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Kay Keyser's band and the legendary Count Basie Orchestra.
Basie put together the band in 1936; by 1937, they had an avid and growing fan base, especially among those who loved to "swing" and dance. The Count Basie Orchestra first performed at Enna Jettick Park in May of 1937. They were such a big hit that their gig was held over, extending the run from May 25 through May 31, with two shows a day.
People are also reading…
The Cayuga Chief newspaper reported: "Everybody musically inclined who heard Count Basie's Negro orchestra at Enna Jettick Park last May sensed that it was truly a sensational swing orchestra and the dance floor was crowded most of the time during his stay. The count and his big lively orchestra have been summoned to Hollywood. This means those whose business it is to discover unusual talent have discovered Count Basie is a great leader and has a great band. Luckily, the management of Enna Jettick Park was able to persuade his sponsors to let him stop off at the park en route to Hollywood. He will appear July 11 and stay through July 31 at least."
What would an evening out at Enna Jettick have been like? Who might've attended, what was their experience? Press releases announcing the park's acts were printed in newspapers throughout central New York, so presumably audiences, especially for a hot band like Basie's, would have come from all over the region. Admission was around $1.10, for that was the admission to see the Tommy Dorsey Band just prior to Basie's appearance. And for these performances, there was an added attraction, for the featured vocalist was Lady Day herself, Billie Holiday, who became one of the most celebrated and revered jazz vocalists of her generation. (Apparently, no recordings were made of Holiday with the Basie orchestra in the 1930s.)
According to the website setlist.fm, the orchestra's engagement at the Savoy Ballroom in New York City in June of 1937 included the songs "The Count Steps In," "They Can't Take That Away From Me," "Sometimes I'm Happy" and "I Got Rhythm." Most likely, the setlist for the band's Enna Jettick shows was quite similar to those at the Savoy.
Here's a sample of what the Enna Jettick crowd might've danced to, the 1937 first recording of "Topsy" by the orchestra: youtube.com/watch?v=JiXIpsoDgOk.
In 1972, the Count Basie Orchestra returned to the area to perform at the Auburn High School auditorium. By this point, Basie's orchestra was a well-established cultural institution. The Citizen reported, "The Count remembered his visits to Auburn and Enna Jettick Park in 1937. He introduced Mrs. Philip A. Gaskin of 18 Bradford St. with whom he stayed during his two appearances at the park. He also dedicated a number to Mrs. Gaskin who he visited before the show. 'I never forgot how wonderful this woman was to me during those days,' the Count told reporters." (City directories suggest that The Citizen might've gotten Mrs. Gaskin's name wrong, for the Mrs. Gaskin who is listed on Bradford Street in both 1937 and 1972 is listed as Mrs. Richard T. Gaskin).
Why would Basie have stayed with a private family at that time? Was it that the local hotels were fully booked, or maybe they were not all that friendly to African-American musicians, or maybe the chance of a home-cooked meal and friendly atmosphere was a treat and preferable to the routine of hotel rooms and greasy diner food, especially for a musician on a long cross-country tour?
Today, should you enjoy a picnic or family outing at Emerson Park, take a moment to imagine one of those summer nights in July 1937. How fantastic it would've been — dressed in your best date night outfit, dancing up a storm to such joyful, exuberant music. It certainly would've been a night to remember. | https://auburnpub.com/lifestyles/cayuga-county-history-when-count-basie-played-whats-now-emerson-park/article_6330dc8c-8a3a-520a-86a3-11486aad1841.html | 2022-08-21T12:16:43Z | https://auburnpub.com/lifestyles/cayuga-county-history-when-count-basie-played-whats-now-emerson-park/article_6330dc8c-8a3a-520a-86a3-11486aad1841.html | true | 1 |
Such organizations, with leftist speech and action, have lost relevance in the global context
Founded in 1945, at the end of the Second World War, and with the aim of promoting understanding between nations and avoiding new conflicts like the one that had ended, the United Nations (UN) then had 51 founding states and members. Today, there are 193 member states.
Although it has in its curriculum some important achievements, such as the creation of the State of Israel and it has been successful in pacifying some small regional conflicts, the UN today is a modern Tower of Babel, in which many speak and little understand each other.
Furthermore, as administrative decisions are taken by majority vote, management positions are held by representatives of the Third World, generally leftist professionals with a low intellectual level.
No wonder, then, that he has no influence when it comes to some important question. One of the best spy and science fiction writers, the Belgian Jean Libert (1913-1995), who used the pseudonyms of Paul Kenny and Jean-Gaston Vandel, defined the UN as follows: “If two small countries come into conflict, the UN intervenes. , and the conflict disappears; if a big country and a small country come into conflict, the UN intervenes and the small country disappears; if two big countries come into conflict, the UN intervenes and the UN disappears”. A joke, but not far from reality.
The forced omission of the UN in the war between Russia and Ukraine shows its lack of importance.
The UN has six main bodies in its administrative structure: the General Assembly, the Secretariat, the International Court of Justice, and the three Councils: Security, Economic and Social and Guardianship. Each of these bodies houses its Departments, its Commissions and its Organizations.
A diplomat I know, who served with the UN, commented, with some irony, on the mediocrity of his professional staff: there are two types of UN officials. Either they were good students at bad universities, or they were the worst students at the best universities. To demonstrate the clumsy and rigged functioning of these parts of the UN, and to show that the many criticisms that arise around the world regarding its functioning are justified, we will talk about three of these parts: PAHO-Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), World Health Organization (WHO) and the Human Rights Council.
PAHO and the “slavery” of Cuban doctors
PAHO, although it was created in 1902, today functions as a WHO regional office in the Americas.
A recent fact demonstrates its rigging and its dysfunctionality. In 2011 and 2012, there was a series of secret negotiations between the Cuban dictatorship and the Dilma Rousseff government for the hiring of Cuban doctors in Brazil, and the way in which the Cuban dictatorship formally seized most of the salaries of these professionals. These negotiations concluded that it was better to remove the Brazilian Congress from the issue, to avoid uncomfortable discussions regarding the regime of true slavery to which these professionals would be subject.
Carissa Etienne
PAHO then entered the negotiations and admitted to playing the role of intermediary in the operation to steal doctors’ salaries. It was, as it is still run, by an obscure Dominican doctor, Carissa Etienne, a graduate of the University of the West Indies, a Jamaican institution that doesn’t even appear among the top four hundred in the international rankings. So it was done. The “companion” Carine, the Cuban dictatorship and the Dilma government set up the entire work scheme “analogous to slavery” for thousands of Cuban doctors, which functioned until the current Brazilian government took office. Today, exiled doctors in the US who served in Brazil are suing Carine and PAHO in Washington’s courts. They charge the money that was stolen from them. Compensation may be left for Brazil.
WHO and leftist Tedros Adhanom
The WHO should, as it was created for this and costs the whole world a fortune, be a beacon in the fight against the Covid pandemic. You should immediately research the origin of the virus, how to prevent its spread, and effective means of preventing and curing your illness. All efficiently and quickly. Didn’t do any of that.
What was seen was a completely lost WHO. Its director was – and still is – Tedros Adhanom, an obscure Ethiopian biologist (he isn’t even a doctor), graduated from an unimpressive university at the time (1986) and which soon after (in 2002) closed its doors, the University of Asmara.
But Tedros is a well-known leftist, which explains his role in this important role. As the virus had emerged in Wuhan, China, and Tedros feared it would displease his Chinese “companions”, he did not send researchers to Wuhan, to investigate the origin of Covid and possible means of combating it. Just a year later he sent some scientists, after worldwide complaints, but even these got nothing, for lack of Chinese collaboration.
Nor has it sent researchers to Asian countries where the virus has been less deadly, such as Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan, to learn how to better deal with it. Nor did it convene the major laboratories for a conference in Geneva (headquarters of the WHO) to develop drugs and vaccines.
Vaccines emerged from individual free enterprise efforts in various parts of the world. Tedros stayed and his “scientists” were paid very well in the good good of Geneva, while the world fell ill. Furthermore, for convenience, the WHO adopted and helped to spread the “lockdown”, the catastrophic “close everything” measure, advocated by the Imperial College of London (ICL) and its epidemiologist Neil Ferguson.
If he had the slightest bit of knowledge, Tedros would know that Ferguson had at least twice made doomsday predictions and gone wrong badly, even ridiculously: in Mad Cow Disease and Chicken Flu. He would never be a good adviser. Later it would be known that the lockdown was of no use in containing the evil and would leave a world economic disaster. But it was too late.
Human Rights Council
The UN Human Rights Council (or High Commissioner for Human Rights) has been headed, since 2018, by former Chilean president Michelle Bachelet.
Although he is not an obscure figure, like Carissa Etienne or Tedros Adhanom, Bachelet, as a left-wing extremist that he is, could not hold the position he holds. Bachelet was exiled to East Germany, whose regime she praised and had links in Chile with the Frente Patriótica Manoel Rodriguez (FPMR), a terrorist organization. An admirer of Fidel Castro, when she presided over Chile, she made a point of making an official visit to the Cuban dictatorship and kissing Fidel’s hand.
It’s been four decades since a Chilean president visited the island. It lacks impartiality. Naturally involved with President Jair Bolsonaro, she often made accusations against him, echoing lines from the extreme left-wing Tupiniquim parties.
In 2018, about to take up her post at the UN, at a Public Health congress in Rio de Janeiro, Bachelet meddled in our affairs and asked for Lula to be free. In 2019, he criticized mining in the Amazon and criticized the Brazilian government for the forest fires, in addition to accusing it of alleged police excesses in Brazil. He received a then harsh response from President Bolsonaro.
In 2020, Bachelet defended the Landless, and claimed that journalists were being persecuted in Brazil. Now in 2022, he has returned to the Amazon key and criticized the government for the deaths of environmentalist Bruno Pereira and English journalist Dom Phillips. At no time did he mention the readiness of the government and the Federal Police to uncover the crime and arrest the culprits.
Bachelet is less critical of the Nicaraguan government, although Daniel Ortega (in his fifth term as president) killed around 400 opposition protesters in 2018 (including a Brazilian student) on the country’s streets. She made some timid reports urging the government to engage in dialogue with the opposition and offering its services. He was silent about the religious persecution in the country.
The nuns of Mother Teresa’s organization of Calcutta have been expelled from Nicaragua, Christian radio stations have been closed, the Bishop of Managua has been arrested and sermons in churches are censored. Cuba, which last year violently repressed demonstrators for democracy, and arrested incommunicado opponents, journalists, artists and even children, also received mild criticism from Bachelet, who called for tolerance of the Cuban dictatorship, but also called for “suspension of unilateral sanctions against Cuba.” , alluding to the American embargo. And she only did so because Human Rights Watch, her international human rights organization, asked her for a position in July last year. Even more timid was the Chinese government’s persecution of the Uighurs, a Muslim minority that is being isolated and sent to concentration camps in China. She made a fanciful visit to China, in May of this year, to say that she was acting, but a visit directed by the Chinese government, went only where they took her and only interviewed people selected by the same government. She has not spoken to any imprisoned Uighurs, although there are 1 million of them in concentration camps. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International even asked for his resignation.

LONDON (AP) — The first day of a planned strike at Britain's biggest container port started Sunday, joining a series of walkouts by transportation workers that have disrupted economic activity across the country.
Almost 2,000 workers at the Port of Felixstowe, located about 150 kilometers (93 miles) northeast of London, walked off the jobs over pay, raising fears of severe supply chain problems. The port handles around 4 million containers a year from 2,000 ships – almost half of the country’s incoming shipping freight.
Sharon Graham, general secretary of Unite, the labor union that called for the strike, alleged the company that operates the “enormously profitable” dock and its parent company, C.K Hutchison Holding Ltd, prioritized shareholder profits over worker welfare.
“They can give Felixstowe workers a decent pay raise. It’s clear both companies have prioritized delivering multimillion-pound profits and dividends rather than paying their workers a decent wage,” she said.
The Port of Felixstowe said in a statement that it regretted the impact the strikes would have on U.K supply chains. It said workers were offered a pay raise “worth over 8% on average in the current year.”
Britons are facing the worst cost of living crisis in decades as wages fail to keep pace with inflation and grocery costs and utility bills increase. The latest statistics put the inflation rate at 10.1%, a 40-year high.
The conditions have sparked summer strikes by train and subway workers following the breakdown of wage talks in June. Only one in five U.K trains ran Saturday during the third railway strike in as many days.
On Friday, most of London’s underground subway lines did not run due to a separate strike. Postal workers, lawyers, British Telecom staff and garbage collectors have all announced walkouts for later this month. | https://www.middletownpress.com/business/article/Strike-at-biggest-shipping-port-adds-to-UK-17387725.php | 2022-08-21T12:25:33Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/business/article/Strike-at-biggest-shipping-port-adds-to-UK-17387725.php | true | 23 |
3 Cryptos I Would Regret Not Buying on the Dip
Do you remember the heady days of 2021, when Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) surged past $60,000, and the entire crypto market was hitting new heights? There were plenty of people saying that they wish they had bought Bitcoin when it was $20,000 or that they wish they had bought Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) below $2,000. After 2022's sell-off, patient, risk-tolerant long-term investors can do just that as prices have returned to these levels. Here are three cryptos that I would regret not buying during the dip. Image source: Getty Images.Bitcoin has shown some signs of life as of late, rallying 33% off the 52-week low of $17,664 that it hit in June. Bitcoin is still a long way off from its all-time high of over $68,000 last November, and I like the fact that investors don't have to try to "catch a falling knife" now that the largest digital asset by market cap has stabilized and looks like it is building momentum again.Continue reading

COPS have shared the key clue which could help them solve the identity of mummified remains found in an abandoned building.
Mystery surrounds the skeletal remains which were found on August 10 inside a "long abandoned" building in Sherman Park, Milwaukee.
The multi-use building had a church on the first floor and rooms upstairs, according to an investigation report from the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office.
Police believe the deceased was a man based on what he was wearing, TMJ4 reports.
The remains were found partly "mummified" except for the hand, feet and one hand, according to the medical officer's office.
Due to the preservation of some of the body, a number of the man's tattoos on the body were able to be submitted into a database.
There were no immediate links to any already in the system but will be helpful for investigators as they try to identify him.
The ME's office says one tattoo on the left forearm says 'KING' while there's a geometric design on the upper left arm.
His right forearm is inked with the letters S A V A on it but other designs are harder to make out.
Amy Michalak, lead forensic investigator at the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office, said they hope to give answers to a family with questions.

She said: "We'd like to be able to provide some type of closure to that family that we have here. We have found their loved one."
He was wearing multiple layers of clothing including long underwear, two jackets and athletic pants.
The man also had a variety of rings on his fingers which were either silver, black or green.
The ME office says he didn't appear to have any injuries and there wasn't any indicators his death was related to drugs.
The Milwaukee Police Department are working to help identify the man and are calling for anyone who may recognise the tattoos or rings to get in touch. | https://www.the-sun.com/news/6045547/cops-clue-identity-mystery-remains/ | 2022-08-21T12:27:46Z | https://www.the-sun.com/news/6045547/cops-clue-identity-mystery-remains/ | true | 1 |
Christian Pulisic is “the best” American player in the world game at present says Jesse Marsch, with the Leeds boss revealing that he would “love to work” with the Chelsea forward at some stage in the future. That partnership is likely to come at international level with the coach currently plying his trade at Elland Road but admitting that he hopes to take charge of the USMNT side in the future.
That dream is being put on hold for now, with Marsch preparing his Leeds side – who have gone unbeaten through their opening two games in 2022-23 - for a Premier League visit from Chelsea and Pulisic.
Will Pulisic work with Marsch at some point?
Marsch, who inherited the reins at Leeds from Marcelo Bielsa in February, has told the Whites’ official YouTube channel : “Christian [Pulisic] is a big, big talent, the best in our country.
“The expectations on him are high, he has met a lot of those expectations. But with his talent, people are demanding more.
“Every time I’ve coached against him, he’s scored.
“I don’t have any negative criticisms. I would love to work with him, whether it is with the national team in the distant future. He has created a lot of firsts for American players.”
What does the future hold for Pulisic?

Pulisic, who has skippered the USMNT to the 2022 World Cup finals, appears set to figure prominently for his country over the coming years.
He is just 23 years of age, but already has 51 caps to his name.
Any coach of the American national team will continue to call upon him, but he will be hoping to see more regular game time at club level than he has been of late.
Pulisic has made two appearances off the bench for Chelsea this season, totalling just 30 minutes, and has seen links to Manchester United surface as speculation builds regarding a possible move elsewhere. | https://www.goal.com/en-ae/news/work-with-pulisic-leeds-marsch-usmnt-hope/bltfdd3313009b57029 | 2022-08-21T12:32:08Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ae/news/work-with-pulisic-leeds-marsch-usmnt-hope/bltfdd3313009b57029 | true | 11 |
Car blast kills daughter of Russian known as ‘Putin’s brain’
MOSCOW (AP) — The daughter of an influential Russian political theorist who is often referred to as “Putin’s brain” was killed in a car bombing on the outskirts of Moscow, officials said Sunday.
The Moscow branch of the Russian Investigative Committee said preliminary information indicated a bomb planted in the SUV driven by Daria Dugina, 29, exploded Saturday night and killed the TV commentator who was the daughter of Alexander Dugin, a nationalist philosopher and writer.
Dugin is a prominent proponent of the “Russian world” concept, a spiritual and political ideology that emphasizes traditional values, restoration of Russia’s power and the unity of all ethnic Russians throughout the world. He also is a vehement supporter of Russia sending troops into Ukraine.
The explosion took place as his daughter was returning from a cultural festival she had attended with him. Some Russian media reports cited witnesses as saying the SUV belonged to Dugin and that he had decided at the last minute to travel in another vehicle.
The vivid and violent incident, unusual for Moscow, is likely to aggravate Russia-Ukraine animosity.
No suspects were immediately identified. But Denis Pushilin, president of the separatist Donetsk People’s Republic that is a focus of Russia’s fighting in Ukraine, blamed it on “terrorists of the Ukrainian regime, trying to kill Alexander Dugin.”
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, denied Ukrainian involvement, saying on national TV that “We are not a criminal state, unlike Russia, and definitely not a terrorist state.”
Analyst Sergei Markov, a former Putin adviser, told Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti that Alexander Dugin, not his daughter, likely was the intended target and said “it’s completely obvious that the most probable suspects are Ukrainian military intelligence and the Ukrainian Security Service.”
While Dugin’s exact ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin are unclear, the Kremlin frequently echoes rhetoric from his writings and appearances on Russian state TV. He helped popularize the “Novorossiya,” or New Russia, concept that Russia used to justify the 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea and its support of separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine.
He promotes Russia as a country of piety, traditional values and authoritarian leadership, and disdains Western liberal values.
His daughter expressed similar views and had appeared as a commentator on the nationalist TV channel Tsargrad, where Dugin had served as chief editor.
Dugina herself was sanctioned by the United States in March for her work as chief editor of United World International, a website that the U.S. described as a disinformation site. The sanctions announcement cited a UWI article this year that contended Ukraine would “perish” if it were admitted to NATO.
“Dasha, like her father, has always been at the forefront of confrontation with the West,” Tsargrad said on Sunday, using the familiar form of her name.

Cedar Springs Man Charged with Stealing Trailer, Tools from Green Lake Township Fire Department Construction Site
A 30-year-old Cedar Springs man is facing larceny charges after the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office says he stole a trailer from a construction site at the new Green Lake Township Fire Department.
On May 16, 2022, the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office was contacted about a stolen trailer from KDN Construction Group. The trailer was being store at the construction site for the new Green Lake Township Fire Department when it was stolen. The trailer contained a large number of tools. The total value is reported at more than $49,000.
Surveillance footage showed a suspect’s truck hauling the trailer as it left Grand Traverse County. Sheriff’s detectives were able to identify the suspect as Casey James Schullo, a Cedar Springs resident and former KDN employee.
On June 24, the Kent County Sheriff’s Office arrested Schullo at a residence in Sparta on unrelated misdemeanor warrants.
The trailer was subsequently located later in Cedar Springs and did not contain any of the stolen items.
Schullo is facing charges of larceny over $20,000 and receiving and concealing stolen property over $20,000. He was arraigned in a Grand Traverse County court on Aug. 8.
A preliminary exam date is set for Aug. 23. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2707635292650/cedar-springs-man-charged-with-stealing-trailer-tools-from-green-lake-township-fire-department-construction-site | 2022-08-21T12:44:32Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2707635292650/cedar-springs-man-charged-with-stealing-trailer-tools-from-green-lake-township-fire-department-construction-site | false | 1 |

CLAYTON, Ga. (AP) — Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is a conservative by any measure.
As the Republicans seeks a second term in November, he can trumpet multiple tax cuts. He helped enact a ban on abortions after six weeks, before many women know they're pregnant. He presided over an election law overhaul that could make it harder for some Georgians to vote.
And in case anyone still doubts his credentials, Kemp is fond of noting he's the first modern Republican governor in Georgia who wasn't a Democrat at some point in his political career.
Still, his decision to defy Donald Trump and ratify Joe Biden's presidential electors in 2020 has won Kemp credit with some Democrats. That goodwill showed up in Georgia's May primaries, when a notable number of Democratic-leaning voters cast Republican ballots to help Kemp trounce his Trump-endorsed challenger.
Now, heading into the general election, Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams needs those voters in her column. And she is unvarnished in arguing that Kemp is due nothing from voters for refusing to subvert a free and fair American presidential election.
“Let me be clear,” Abrams says near the end of her half-hour campaign pitch. “Not committing treason does not make you a hero.”
The crowds at Abrams' events roar at the line, betraying at least some worry that Kemp's handling of Trump could curry favor with enough moderate voters and prove a decisive variable in this rematch from four years ago.
Kemp and Georgia's Republican secretary of state drew Trump's public ire when they signed off on Biden's victory in the state, which had been a Republican lock in presidential elections since 1996.
Of course, Kemp never explicitly pushed back on Trump's false claims that Biden's win was fraudulent; the governor stuck to a matter-of-fact explanation that he was following the law. His approach incensed Trump's most ardent supporters. But it also proved a subtle way for Kemp to position himself as a moderating force within Trump's party, giving the governor an opening to fashion a November coalition of his own core supporters and key swing voters.
That balance is how Kemp narrowly defeated Abrams in 2018 and how Democrats, in turn, shifted Georgia their way in 2020.
“It’s a base-plus strategy for Republicans, and a base-plus strategy for Democrats,” said Tharon Johnson, a Democratic strategist, explaining the shared pressure on Kemp and Abrams to win the narrow middle.
Four years ago, Kemp won by 55,000 votes out of about 4 million cast. Biden topped Trump by less than 12,000 votes out of 5 million cast. In concurrent U.S. Senate runoffs two months after the presidential election, about 4.5 million Georgians voted; Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won by 2 percentage points and 1.2 percentage points, respectively.
In May of this year, Kemp topped former Sen. David Perdue with almost 74% of the vote in a record-turnout Republican primary, despite Perdue having Trump’s endorsement. Perdue’s 262,000-plus votes could be of concern to Kemp in such a hotly contested state.
“There are still plenty of election deniers in our party,” said Ed Henderson, a local GOP officer in Rabun County, where Kemp and Abrams each held events recently. “I'm not one of them,” Henderson said, “but Kemp has to deal with them.”
On the other hand, an Associated Press analysis of early voting records from data firm L2 found that more than 37,000 people who voted in Georgia’s Democratic primary two years ago cast ballots in May's Republican primary, an unusually high number of so-called crossover voters.
That gave Kemp a clear anti-Trump boost that he never sought openly and also drew notice in Abrams' camp.
“Both sides have similar concerns,” Johnson concluded.
Hence Abrams’ frustration at any possibility Kemp would be rewarded for not helping Trump thwart an election.
Kemp, she told reporters at a stop in heavily Republican north Georgia, is “being lauded for not committing treason.” She pointed to other Kemp actions: expanding gun-possession rights with a concealed-carry law and signing a bill banning abortions at six weeks of pregnancy.
“It is wrong to suggest that Brian Kemp is some form of anti-Trump moderate,” Abrams told reporters. “He is not. He is not simply a fiscal conservative. He’s a hard-right, religious extremist who is using the law of Georgia to implement his belief system.”
Lance Hammonds, president of the NAACP chapter in heavily Democratic DeKalb County in metro Atlanta, said he's aware of the crossover votes in May and is working to educate voters about Kemp's full record.
“I'd say he's done a fair job as governor,” Hammonds allowed. “But there are plenty of gaps,” he said, pointing especially to Kemp's refusal to expand Medicaid fully.
As for Kemp's navigation of Trump, Hammonds drew a distinction between Kemp and his relative silence and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who has criticized the former president and testified before the congressional panel investigating Trump's role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Raffensperger “stood up,” Hammonds said, while Kemp “still followed the party line. That's not real political courage.”
Indeed, Kemp doesn’t talk about Trump unless asked. That's a notable turnabout from 2018, when he won Trump's endorsement in a contested Republican primary. Instead, Kemp cites his decisions to eschew extended statewide business closures and mask mandates during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic, and he tries to link Abrams to Biden and an inflationary economy. Kemp calls her “extreme,” just as she labels him.
Still, Kemp makes his electoral strategy clear.
“We saw what happened” with Democrats’ wins in 2020 and 2021, Kemp said of the GOP base during a recent stop in Rabun County, where he got 80% of the vote in 2018. “We have to unite, and we have to get all our folks out,” he warned. Then, he promised, “We’re going to go after that middle.”
Only with reporters afterward did the governor begrudgingly acknowledge the potential effects of the 2020 drama in that equation. He said Trump loyalists give him credit for signing an overhaul of the state’s election laws in 2021 — a reaction to Democrats’ wins. Among other provisions, the law shortens runoff campaigns to four weeks and limits drop boxes for absentee ballots in the most populous counties. Both moves force Democrats to recalibrate their turnout operations.
Pressed on whether he could get swing votes for ratifying Biden’s victory, Kemp said, “People want elected officials that are going to abide by their oath of office to protect the law and the Constitution of this state and the Constitution of the United States. I think there are a lot of people in the middle who appreciate that.”
Of course, he added, “There’s probably a lot of people who won’t vote for me who appreciate it, too. But I’ve tried to be consistent.”

Fortnite and Destiny 2 collaboration leaked ahead of showcase reveal
A new look for your Guardian.
A credible leak reveals that Fortnite and Destiny 2 will be collaborating soon, with a possible announcement planned for the Destiny 2 showcase on August 23.
Shared online by Shiina on Twitter, and datamined by Ginsor, an image of three Fortnite skins coming to Destiny 2 have been uncovered. These three skins include one for each of the three primary classes of Destiny 2: a Titan, Warlock, and Hunter. These skins appear to be the Black Knight, Catalyst, and Omega Fortnite skins. Nothing about how players would access or earn these skins was revealed.
Destiny 2 has only dabbled in crossover content so far, with the most notable example being the Halo inspired content introduced for the studio’s 30th anniversary, but there have been rumblings about this collaboration for some time. The skins shown in the leaked image do at least seem thematically appropriate for Destiny’s established art style.
Fortnite, obviously, is the king of crossovers, and is currently riding high on their massive Dragon Ball Super collaboration. It will no doubt be getting its own Destiny 2 content as well, however what that is remains unclear. This is also coming off of teases that The Lord of the Rings could be an upcoming collaboration with the Battle Royale, however this leak does suggest Destiny 2 would come before the massive fantasy series.
Destiny 2 is is gearing up for its upcoming showcase to reveal season 18 and the Lightfall expansion. Recent leaks have also come out detailing the name, raid, activities, and more about the new content. Hopefully between these two leaks there is still some surprises left in store for Destiny fans come the showcase date. | https://www.gamepur.com/news/fortnite-and-destiny-2-collaboration-leaked-ahead-of-showcase-reveal | 2022-08-21T12:52:45Z | https://www.gamepur.com/news/fortnite-and-destiny-2-collaboration-leaked-ahead-of-showcase-reveal | false | 1 |

The US Open, organized by the United States Tennis Association (USTA), is a hard court tennis grand slam tournament that is held once every year.
Founded in 1881, the US Open started off as competition on grass and later on clay surface for two years in 1975 and 1977, and finally moving to hard courts since 1978.
Also from 1978, US Open is being held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, New York City. US Open, earlier known as US National Championship, has been held 141 times so far with many champions crowned over the years.
Like every other major tournament, US Open also consists of five primary championships - men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles alongside events for senior, junior, and wheelchair players.

In the Open Era, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Jim Connors have won the title most with five championships each. Also, the Americans have won the men's title the most - 85 times in the Amateur and Open Era put together.
As far as the women's singles competition is concerned, Molla Bjurstedt Mallory won the title 8 times in the Amateur Era, while Serena Williams and Chris Evert have won the championship six times each in the Open Era.

Lagos, Nigeria | Xinhua | The Nigerian Armed Forces have intensified their crackdown on extremists and bandit groups to address security threats in the country, Defense Minister Bashir Magashi said Saturday.
The military and other security agencies have cooperated to force criminals out from their hideouts, Magashi told a security conference held in the nation’s capital Abuja.
Security operatives have been deployed to highways susceptible to armed hijacks, as well as to north-central and northwest regions to track down militants hiding in forests, he said, adding that they have destroyed several camps of militants and rescued kidnapped victims.
Over 70,000 militants and their families have surrendered to troops in recent months, and thousands of displaced people have returned home, he said.
In southern Nigeria, troops were fighting to thwart the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra group and reduce crimes such as crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism, he said. ■ | https://www.independent.co.ug/nigeria-intensifies-fight-against-illegal-armed-groups/ | 2022-08-21T13:07:07Z | https://www.independent.co.ug/nigeria-intensifies-fight-against-illegal-armed-groups/ | true | 1 |
Roma-Cremonese odds comparison: the Giallorossi make their debut at home after the success against Salernitana
After having worried Fiorentina, Cremonese is called to another complicated away match. Because José Mourinho’s Roma is seething with enthusiasm, with an important transfer campaign that followed the victory of the Conference League. The Olimpico is ready to push the Giallorossi on the second day, as done in a friendly against Shakhtar Dontetsk on 7 August. Appointment for Monday at 18.30.
How the teams arrive
—
Roma comes to the appointment with three points in the standings, obtained at the debut thanks to Bryan Cristante’s goal against Salernitana. And he does so with the certainty of being able to count on Nicolò Zaniolo this season, news that can give serenity to an electric environment after the purchases of Dybala, Matic, Wijnaldum. On the other hand there is a Cremonese who is aware of having played a great match on the Fiorentina field, but with the regret of not having brought home points: the decisive mistake of Ionut Radu in the final for the 3-2 with which the viola beat the newly promoted.
Previous
—
The last Serie A match between Rome and Cremonese dates back to 11 February 1996, again at the Olimpico: a 3-0 victory for the Giallorossi with goals from Di Biagio, Balbo and Cappioli. The total balance between the two teams is 10 wins for Roma (open streak of three consecutive), two draws (the last 1-1 in January ’95 in Rome) and two wins for Cremonese, one of which at the Olimpico : 1-2 on 3 October 1993 with goals by Dezotti and Tentoni.
The quote
—
The winning Roma is given at 1.26 by Novibet, at 1.25 by Betfair and at 1.24 by Sisal: the bookmakers agree in giving the Giallorossi clearly favorites. Suffice it to say that the X is proposed at 6.20 from LeoVegas (6.10 from Better, 6.00 from Sisal and Snai) and the success of Cremonese at 13.50 from Better and GoldBet, at 13.00 from Betfair, at 12.00 from Snai and Sisal. A victory of the newly promoted Olimpico is given as highly unlikely by the operators, who imagine a match with at least three goals scored: Over 2.5 is in fact given to 1.65 by Pokerstars, to 1.63 by LeoVegas and GoldBet and to 1.57 by Sisal, while the odds for Under 2.5 is 2.30 for Bet365 and Betfair, 2.28 for LeoVegas, 2.25 for Sisal.
Exact result
—
According to the bookmakers, the most probable outcome is the 2-0 in favor of Roma, a hypothesis given at 6.15 by Novibet, at 6.00 by Bet365 and Sisal. Next we find, paired, the 1-o for the Giallorossi (7.50 for Bet365, Snai and Sisal) and the 3-0 (7.60 for Novibet, 7.50 for Bet365, 7.25 for Sisal). Among the results that do not contemplate the victory of Roma, the most probable is a 1-1 draw: the odds are 12.00 for Snai and Novibet, 11.50 for Sisal. | https://www.breakinglatest.news/sports/the-olimpico-embraces-rome-here-are-the-odds-against-cremonese/ | 2022-08-21T13:13:07Z | https://www.breakinglatest.news/sports/the-olimpico-embraces-rome-here-are-the-odds-against-cremonese/ | true | 1 |

Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency and has experienced some major price swings in recent years. No need to mention that cryptocurrencies are highly volatile. Depending on the crypto market situation, you may make millions or lose all of your investment. If you are considering buying Bitcoin, there are several ways to purchase it. You can buy this decentralized crypto asset directly or indirectly from traditional brokers or through the crypto exchange platform.
There are additional methods too, for purchasing Bitcoin. Some of them are:
- Financial apps: Trading cryptocurrencies is now possible through many banking apps like PayPal and Venmo. You can easily buy, sell, trade, and hold Bitcoin with PayPal, the financial application that you usually use for making online payments. It charges spread markup fees for trading bitcoin but not for holding crypto in your account. You can also use Venmo for trading Bitcoin, which is owned by PayPal.
- Crypto exchanges: Crypto exchanges are the most popular option for buying, selling, and trading cryptocurrencies. Trading on exchanges has a few distinct benefits. Firstly, the best crypto exchanges charge lower transaction fees for trading cryptocurrency. They are the best option if the price is your primary concern. Secondly, a lot of exchanges don’t impose spread mark-ups, which are hidden costs incorporated into trading prices. Thirdly, most exchanges offer storage wallets so that you can store your crypto assets safely. Coinbase, Binance, Crypto.com, and Kraken are some popular cryptocurrency exchanges where you can buy Bitcoin.
- Trading apps: You can buy Bitcoin with trading applications such as Webull or Robinhood without paying any direct fees, but you will be charged a spread markup. With trading apps, you can purchase Bitcoin directly and other cryptocurrencies as well.
- Traditional brokers: A few conventional brokers, such as Interactive Brokers and TradeStation, have also entered the bitcoin market. With Interactive Brokers, you will be able to trade Bitcoin directly as well as purchase futures contracts on the cryptocurrency.
- Bitcoin ATMs: Bitcoin ATMs are another option from which you can purchase Bitcoin directly, although you’ll probably end up paying considerably more commission fees than you would elsewhere. Some ATMs also allow you to sell your purchased bitcoins by using cash or debit cards. To complete the transaction, though, you might require a Bitcoin wallet. The cost of commissions can be high; some ATMs also charge around 7% for each transaction.
So these are the options from which you can buy Bitcoin easily. Each of the above-mentioned methods offers a different combination of cost, security, and potential advantages and disadvantages. So do your due diligence on the platform on which you are considering purchasing Bitcoin. | https://wheon.com/where-one-can-buy-bitcoin/ | 2022-08-21T13:30:46Z | https://wheon.com/where-one-can-buy-bitcoin/ | false | 1 |

Anthony Joshua, British-Nigerian boxer on Saturday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia fought back tears after a narrow loss to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk, in an highly anticipated rematch, beat Joshua on split decision to retain the IBO, IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight title.
A rattled Joshua at a post-fight press conference was in tears as he explained the bitter loss and his furious actions after the bout.
“I don’t feel anything, I’m upset deep down in my heart, When you lose, you’re ultimately not happy, it’s just upsetting.
“I wanted to win and I wanted to win for Great Britain because I knew how much they wanted me to fight Tyson Fury. I’m not so happy with the performance because I didn’t win.
“I appreciate everyone watching at home, I’m a fighter, I’m not a normal person.
“Even though I try and hold it together, to be a fighter is to have a real different mindset and lifestyle,” an emotional Joshua said.
Joshua then apologised for his furious reaction after the match when he threw away two championship belts from the ring and stormed out of the ring, before returning.
“I was mad at myself, not at anyone, just at myself, so I thought I’ve got to get out of here (ring) because I’m mad, like anyone when you’re angry, you might do stupid things.
“Then I realised, this is sport, let me do the right thing.

“It’s been so tough, you see AJ holding it together and I’m a hustler so I try and hold things together and I try and work hard, put things together, make sure my team’s good.
“But it comes at a cost, a big cost. It’ll never break me, but it takes real strength for it not to break you.
“There’s a little crack in that armour, because I took a loss and I think you just saw me upset,” he concluded.
32-year old Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua is a British born boxer with Nigerian parents from Sagamu, Ogun State.
Joshua was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, UK. However, he spent a part of his childhood in his parent’s home country, Nigeria, where he went to school in Ikene.
His mother, Yeta Odusanya, is a Nigerian while his father, Robert Joshua, is part Nigerian and part Irish.
Joshua had in July, 2019 visited his roots in Nigeria after his shock loss to American-Mexican Andy Ruiz, before regaining his title in a grueling rematch.

There is no dispute about some evidence in the trial of two men accused of eagerly wanting to kidnap Michigan's governor: They enjoyed getting high.
From start to finish, the jury repeatedly has heard about marijuana in the case of Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr., who are charged with conspiring to abduct Gretchen Whitmer as part of an anti-government uprising in 2020.
It has been cited by defense lawyers to reinforce their depiction of Fox and Croft as “big talkers” who sometimes said outrageous things when they had been smoking pot. Marijuana use by adults has been legal in Michigan since 2018.
A jury in Grand Rapids, Michigan, will hear closing arguments Monday, when defense lawyers will likely talk about it again.
Defense attorney Joshua Blanchard set the tone soon after jurors settled into the box on Aug. 10, saying Croft was “frankly high on marijuana all the time” and was described by some as a “stoner pirate kind-of whack nut” in a tri-cornered colonial hat.
The Delaware trucker's girlfriend confirmed Croft's regular marijuana use during her brief appearance in the witness chair. An investigator was asked Friday to read aloud a text message he had sent to an informant who was inside the group of extremists.
“Too much pot,” John Penrod of the Delaware state police said.
Prosecutors have presented evidence of Fox saying he wanted to “hog-tie” Whitmer and even take her out to Lake Michigan in a boat. Croft wrote on social media about hanging governors for treason.
Their attorneys are arguing entrapment by government agents, not some type of diminished capacity defense. But Henry Scharg, a Detroit-area lawyer, said references to marijuana can be an effort to show a jury that their judgments were very cloudy.
“You're in an altered state. When you say things, you don't really mean it,” said Scharg, who's not involved in the trial. “I don't think it's a really strong defense, but sometimes you're looking for a juror as a holdout, something to rest their position on. Throw it out. Maybe the fish will bite.”
Indeed, this is the second trial for Fox and Croft after a jury in April couldn't reach a unanimous verdict. Two other men were acquitted, while two more pleaded guilty and testified for the government.
Fox's attorney, too, has referred to marijuana when questioning witnesses about key moments in 2020.
Dan Chappel, the most important FBI informant in the case, recalled how he and Fox drove to Elk Rapids, Michigan, to scout Whitmer's lakeside vacation home. He said Fox smoked marijuana throughout the day, even sharing with a stranger while assessing things at a Birch Lake boat launch.
“Adam Fox routinely smoked marijuana in your presence, true? At almost every meeting you were at, correct?" Christopher Gibbons asked.
“He did smoke, yes,” Chappel replied.
Croft, 46, is from Bear, Delaware. Fox, 39, was living in the basement of a vacuum shop in the Grand Rapids area.
Prosecutors haven't made much of their drug habits. Mark Schweers, an undercover FBI agent who posed as a like-minded rebel, said marijuana was smoked when he met with Fox and members of a paramilitary group.
“Did you use marijuana?” Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher O'Connor asked.
"That would not be permitted," said Schweers, who drank beer instead.

Boris Johnson has said he will not introduce any new measures to deal with the cost of living crisis. Big spending decisions are being delayed until his successor as prime minister is in post. However, the result of the Conservative leadership election will not be announced until 5 September.
In the meantime, a major increase in the regulated energy price cap, which puts a ceiling on gas and electricity bills, is due to be announced this Friday. It is forecast to rise to just under from just under £2,000, to £3,600 a year for the average household.
While the nation waits to hear whether any further help is coming, the Treasury is working on a menu of options. Here we outline the main ideas, and assess the political and economic impact of each one.
Targeted help for the most vulnerable
The most limited option for the Treasury is to direct additional help for households to those on the lowest incomes, many of whom are already in fuel poverty and struggling even before the bill increases come in this winter. More than half of British households, 54%, will be in fuel poverty by October and more still in January.
The most targeted way of getting money to the most vulnerable is via increases in universal credit and pension credit. Truss has also promised to reverse the national insurance rise – though many poorer households were not affected by that because the last cost of living intervention by Rishi Sunak as chancellor.
Jessica Elgot: This is the most likely level of support Truss is prepared to offer, citing the cost of the package from Sunak announced earlier this year and with the need to fund her promised tax cuts. She has called it “Gordon Brown economics” to have a high tax burden and then high amounts of state help. But such a route would mean starting her premiership with tax cuts that benefit the wealthy and some additional aid for the poorest – meaning the majority of working people get very little. MPs are worried that is not a sound electoral strategy.
Richard Partington: Charities are calling for the existing £1,200 energy support payment for 8m households on means-tested benefits to be doubled. There is a strong economic case for such targeted support because poor families spend more of their budget on essentials – such as energy and food – than richer households, leaving them the most exposed to the inflation shock. The Resolution Foundation estimates a “cost of living” inflation rate for the poorest of 1.5 percentage points higher than for the richest.
Double the fuel discount from £400 to £800
Sunak announced earlier this year that eligible UK households would receive a £400 discount to help with energy bills from October. Officials have been looking at the potential for people to receive additional support, perhaps up to £800, because forecasts for price rises are now considerably higher.
The discount is easier to administer but somewhat of a blunt instrument because of more well-off households will benefit from the discount.
Jessica Elgot: This looks more like the kind of package Sunak would back but Truss has said that she favours giving targeted support rather than increasing the £400 grant for every household, and her allies including the chief secretary to the Treasury, Simon Clarke, have been disparaging about the entire £400 scheme – though have said they would not cancel it.
Richard Partington: The case against universal support is that many wealthier households saved money during the pandemic while working from home, with the Bank of England estimating about £180bn of “excess savings”. With inflation the result of demand outstripping supply, some economists say putting more money in the pockets of those who can afford to keep spending will pour fuel on the inflationary fire. However, others say the scale of the energy shock requires more people than usual to receive support.
Scrapping VAT on energy bills
This measure, which was first proposed by Labour, is another option being worked on to reduce bills. VAT on domestic energy is charged at a rate of 5% and it would save a typical consumer £154 over the year, and cost the exchequer about £4.3bn initially. Removing VAT would help those who face the biggest rise in their energy bills, those who consume the most.
Jessica Elgot: Sunak rejected this as chancellor but has made it a key part of his policy offer as a Conservative leadership candidate. This was widely pilloried by the Truss campaign as a screeching U-turn, making it difficult for her to adopt it in No 10 without losing face. But it has the advantage of being able for a new PM to talk up the measure as a “Brexit freedom”.
Richard Partington: One consequence of higher energy bills is that the Treasury will rake in more than expected from the VAT charged on them. Giving some of this back to struggling families therefore makes sense. However, Sunak had previously worried that it would be difficult to put the tax back on again in future, which could cause trouble for the government’s budget deficit amid weaker economic growth and rising spending pressures.
A new windfall tax
Nadhim Zahawi as chancellor has been candid with energy firms about the option for an expansion of the windfall tax on oil and gas companies announced by Sunak in May. Truss has said she is opposed to windfall taxes though Sunak has not ruled it out if he wins – though that seems unlikely.
Extending the levy could raise £4bn, providing some much needed leeway for the government to help with energy bills. Labour has said the existing windfall tax could be tightened to remove the option for energy firms to claim tax relief on more than 90% of the levy if the money is reinvested.
Jessica Elgot: There were raised eyebrows in both leadership camps when Zahawi started talking up the potential for a windfall tax. Truss and her likely future chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, are staunchly opposed to the tax, believing it makes Britain an unpredictable place for investment. Truss has also said profit is “not a dirty word”. But there is mass public anger about extraordinary profits, which Zahawi has alluded to, so it may be an unpopular stance to defend them.
Richard Partington: Continued high energy prices have helped the world’s five biggest oil companies to bumper profits of nearly £50bn, lining shareholders’ pockets at the expense of consumers. This shows a clear case for a bigger windfall tax. However, chopping and changing the plan could undermine the argument that the policy is a one-off, potentially leading firms to reassess their investment plans.
Scrapping the price rise and absorbing the costs
This is the plan that is gaining momentum, backed by Labour and the Lib Dems, so it would be unusual if the Treasury was not beginning some preliminary work on the possibility. It would involve freezing the energy price cap at its current level of just under £2,000 a year rather than allowing it to rise in line with global wholesale gas prices.
Labour says the plan would cost just under £30bn, although that’s on the assumption that it would apply only for the next six months – so it may cost much more in the long term.
Jessica Elgot: Both candidates have ruled this out, despite overwhelming public support for the measure, which is backed by 85% of Tory voters. However, given past experience of the Tories dismissing and then adopting popular cost of living policies, it is not impossible this one could seem appealing in the cold light of day in September.
Richard Partington: There are clear pros and cons. A universal cap could halt headline inflation from rising further, potentially saving the government money on inflation-linked borrowing. However, it would have a hefty price tag and need to be in place for a year (inflation is based on the 12-month change in consumer prices). Free-market economists argue it would destroy price signals; incentivising energy use, rather than lower consumption and investment in insulation. It would also benefit rich and poor alike.
Deficit fund for suppliers to cover fuel price rise
The idea has been suggested by the boss of ScottishPower that the government could set up a deficit fund to cover the difference between what people pay and how much it costs to supply their homes with gas and electricity.
The fund could be underwritten by the government, or a willing financial institution, and repaid over a 10 to 15 year period to smooth out the costs. Suppliers would be expected to use the period the scheme was in place to focus on investments in green energy while policymakers delink electricity prices from gas.
Jessica Elgot: This could be a way for Truss to U-turn on freezing prices while claiming it is a way to boost investment and get better value for taxpayers’ money. But it would still require vast sums which she has said she is not prepared to spend – and that would be on top of additional billions of spending commitment she has made on tax cuts and defence.
Richard Partington: Spreading energy bills over a longer time frame would ease some of the pain today, helping the economic outlook in the short-term. However, it would build up costs for the future, and would ultimately be a cost ultimately borne by consumers rather than the state. If prices stay high, it would mean higher bills for households in future. However, it could help smooth the transition, rather than having cliff-edge moments each time the Ofgem price cap is updated. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/21/cost-of-living-crisis-the-main-economic-ideas | 2022-08-21T13:58:36Z | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/21/cost-of-living-crisis-the-main-economic-ideas | false | 1 |
CBI issues Look Out Circular against 8 accused named in Delhi excise policy FIR
Officials said the CBI has not felt the need to issue LOCs against public servants so far because they cannot leave the country without intimating the government.The agency has named a total of nine private individuals as accused in the FIR including businessmen Vijay Nair, a former CEO of entertainment and event management company Only Much Louder Manoj Rai, a former employee of Pernod Ricard Amandeep Dhal, owner of Brindco Spirits Sameer Mahendru, MD of IndoSpirit, and Hyderabad-based Arun Ramchandra Pillai.No LOC has been issued against Manoj Rai so far, they said.

The CBI Sunday issued Look Out Circulars against eight private persons named in the FIR registered in the Delhi excise policy ''scam'' case, officials said.
They said no LoCs have been opened against four public servants named in the FIR, including Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and three former excise department officials. Officials said the CBI has not felt the need to issue LOCs against public servants so far because they cannot leave the country without intimating the government.
The agency has named a total of nine private individuals as accused in the FIR including businessmen Vijay Nair, a former CEO of entertainment and event management company Only Much Louder; Manoj Rai, a former employee of Pernod Ricard; Amandeep Dhal, owner of Brindco Spirits; Sameer Mahendru, MD of IndoSpirit, and Hyderabad-based Arun Ramchandra Pillai.
No LOC has been issued against Manoj Rai so far, they said. Sisodia had earlier claimed a lookout notice was issued against him in the excise policy case being probed by the CBI and termed the move a ''drama''.
Sisodia's three ''close associates'' -- Amit Arora, Director of Buddy Retail Pvt. Limited in Gurgaon, Dinesh Arora and Arjun Pandey -- have also been named in the FIR as accused. Sisodia is among 15 individuals and entities named in the FIR registered by the CBI in connection with alleged irregularities in the implementation of the Delhi government's Excise Policy 2021-22.
The agency on Friday carried out searches at 31 places including Sisodia's residence and premises of some bureaucrats former Excise Commissioner Arava Gopi Krishna and two other Excise Department officials and businessmen.
Under the CBI scanner are at least two payments worth crores of rupees allegedly made to ''close associates'' of Sisodia by Mahendru who was one of the liquor traders actively involved in alleged irregularities.
The FIR alleged Sisodia's ''close associates'' were ''actively involved in managing and diverting the undue pecuniary advantage collected from liquor licensees'' to the accused public servants.
The CBI raids on Friday, that went on for nearly 15 hours, came after Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena last month recommended a probe by the agency into the alleged violations of rules and procedural lapses in the implementation of the policy that came into effect from November 17 last year.
The Delhi government withdrew the policy in July after Saxena recommended the probe. PTI ABS TIR TIR

Rushdie got his death threat from the Ayatollah. Now you’re more likely to get one on Twitter
Social media is alive with them, they usually are inclined to coalesce round sure topics.
Several of my colleagues at The Sydney Morning Herald have acquired dying threats (not me, I’ve solely had rape threats). If you’re a lady, an individual of color, trans or disabled, you can be way more prone to have acquired one. Politicians get them on a regular basis.
It is a profound social shift and a deeply alarming one. That residents are threatening hurt to at least one one other, fairly overtly, just isn’t one thing earlier generations would have thought attainable.
Yet it’s turn out to be completely abnormal, and now not can we count on the particular person making the risk to be a psycho with a weapons cache in his or her basement. The worth of entry is way decrease – you simply want a Twitter account.
Most of the threats, in fact, are idle, within the sense that there isn’t any actual intent and even means to hold them out. But I ponder if their ubiquity has desensitised us to the truth that the prospect of their leading to violence may be very actual.
Death threats, and their carriage on social media, are one of many sharpest factors of the talk over cancel tradition, which is so fraught that it’s even turn out to be a matter of political alignment as as to whether one places the time period cancel tradition in “scare quotes”.
Loading
And the assault on Rushdie has reopened arguments about cancel tradition and freedom of speech, particularly as a result of we all know what facet Rushdie comes down on. He was one of the vital high-profile signatories of an open letter printed in Harper’s in 2020, which warned of a rising “censoriousness”, “an intolerance of opposing views” and a “vogue for public shaming and ostracism”.
Last week the Society of Authors, the biggest British writers’ union, break up down the center after its chair tweeted about dying threats on authors in a method some perceived as flippant. This tweet (later deleted and reposted with a unique tone), revived hostilities over the truth that the society, and its chair, writer Joanne Harris, didn’t come out condemning dying threats towards high-profile member JK Rowling. Rowling’s views on trans rights are deeply controversial.
One open letter circulating spoke of a “wish to express our deep disquiet and anger at the Society of Authors’ abject failure to speak out on violent threats towards its members”. A countering open letter expressed help for Harris.
People typically elide inventive freedom with free speech as a political and public good, and the 2 points merge into one another to a complicated extent. We noticed this within the response to the stunning Charlie Hebdo assault of 2015, when the workplaces of the French satirical newspaper have been stormed by Muslim terrorists. They killed 12 individuals and injured 11 others.
Loading
How all-out ought to a right-thinking particular person go in help of artistic work that many noticed as Islamophobic and even racist?
Rushdie is an writer of hovering imaginative genius. He has written of his perception within the significance of blasphemy as a weapon towards the facility of religions. He has expressed doubt (as have others) that The Satanic Verses can be printed as we speak, not as a result of it’d offend mullahs, however as a result of it’d offend some on the left.
If any constraints in any respect are placed on the themes that such a novelist can write about, or the way of his writing about them, we could as properly quit on the challenge of literature totally.
Most authors topic to dying threats won’t be truly stalked or stabbed by lunatics. But the very fact is, Rushdie himself – who has lived for many years below the specter of violence, now made actual – sees parallels between the mullahs and the censoriousness of social media. And that olds nice ethical energy.

Here, he looks back on a lifetime of memories from his culturally rich Caribbean home. Courtesy of Simon and Schuster Travel + Leisure: You got your start in the music business while working at a Jamaican resort. Can you tell me about that? Blackwell: "I was seeing the daughter of the couple who owned Half Moon, in Montego Bay, and she got me a job teaching guests to water-ski. One evening there was a Bermudan jazz pianist called Lance Hayward playing at the hotel. I'd had a couple drinks and said, 'I'd love to record you.' I knew nothing about recording at all. But I booked a studio in Kingston, and we did the first recording ever to be released on Island Records. I knew then it was what I wanted to do with the rest of my life." Around that time, you also worked on the set of the first James Bond film. "My mother was good friends with Ian Fleming, and when they were filming 'Dr. No' in Jamaica in 1962, they wanted someone to take the crew around. Fleming suggested they hire me as a location scout. It was fantastic meeting Sean Connery and Ursula Andress." Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in Dr. No. Collection Christophel/Alamy Do you think that movie had an impact on Jamaican tourism? "Wealthy English people had been buying houses on the island for some time, and there were already a couple of luxury hotels — like Round Hill Hotel & Villas, which was owned by my cousin and is still a favorite. But tourism more broadly really started after independence, in 1962, and 'Dr. No' definitely played a part in that. The movie was modern and stylish, a part of a flashy new future." How did you come to acquire Ian Fleming's former home, GoldenEye? "After Fleming died, my mother looked after the house and became quite attached to it. When the estate came on the market in 1976, she wanted me to buy it. I couldn't afford it — but I'd just paid Bob Marley about $100,000 in royalties, so I told him about this stunning, iconic house, and he said it sounded great. Time went by, one month, two, three…when he finally went to see it, he decided it wasn't his thing. Too posh. He asked me if there was a way out of the deal. Luckily, by then I had the cash."

"We're working on Firefly, Noël Coward's former home in Oracabessa, which is very near GoldenEye. Coward left it to Jamaica's National Heritage Trust; my hotel group, Island Outpost, is going to operate and integrate it into GoldenEye. The villa is about 1,200 feet above sea level, and the rest of the resort is about an inch above sea level, so it will be great to go up and get a different perspective." What one piece of music best sums up Jamaica for you? "'Natural Mystic' by Bob Marley, which was one of the tracks from 'Exodus' that blew me away the first time Bob handed me a recording, back in 1977." Where else do you like to travel?

(NEXSTAR) – UPS is one of the most popular brands in America, and easily recognizable thanks largely in part to the company’s primary color – brown. It’s a color we’ve grown accustomed to seeing on the company’s delivery trucks, drivers, and semis, and anything else with UPS’s branding.
But brown wasn’t always the color you’d see on a UPS truck.
It all started 115 years ago when UPS was started in Seattle by two teenagers, Claude Ryan and Jim Casey. Then, the company was first known as the American Messenger Company.
Six years later in 1913, the American Messenger Company had its first package car, which was red with a black Ford chassis. When it came time for a second package car, “the company was advised to paint it a more conspicuous color,” according to information about UPS’s history shared with Nexstar.
For the second car, the American Messenger Company used yellow. It wasn’t until 1916 that things changed.
Charlie Soderstrom, a UPS founder, started overseeing the company’s automotive fleet. He didn’t want to use the color yellow because he felt it was too conspicuous and impacted the advertising value of the stores they delivered for. Instead, Soderstrom thought the stores would prefer a more conservative color.
A popular choice in the early 1900s was black but it required too much upkeep.
Ultimately, Soderstrom and the company landed on the color brown after being inspired by the Pullman Company and its sleeping compartment railroad cars, which were symbols of “style and elegance and first-class travel” at the time.
The Pullman Company — which was at one point overseen by Robert Todd Lincoln, son of President Abraham Lincoln — was well-known for its luxurious and comfortable railcars.
A brown Pullman Company car can be seen below.
In 1919, when the company expanded to Oakland, California, it debuted the two features we’ve come to know: the name ‘United Parcel Service’ and brown company cars. Six years later, the drivers would get matching brown uniforms.
Eight decades later, in 1998, ‘UPS Brown’ became a trademarked color. UPS became the third company to have a color trademarked in the U.S. (Owens Corning was first, registering pink, followed by Qualitex, which registered a green-blue). Other companies like Tiffany and T-Mobile have since trademarked their colors. | https://wreg.com/news/nation-and-world/brown-wasnt-always-upss-color-heres-why-it-is-now/ | 2022-08-21T14:06:00Z | https://wreg.com/news/nation-and-world/brown-wasnt-always-upss-color-heres-why-it-is-now/ | false | 16 |
UK Leadership Hopeful Liz Truss Downplays Prospect Of Recession
London:
Tory management favorite Liz Truss downplayed Sunday the prospect of a UK recession, whereas the person tipped to be her finance minister vowed “help is coming” over the hovering value of dwelling.
Truss, the frontrunner in polls to beat rival Rishi Sunak and change into Britain’s subsequent prime minister, pledged in an interview to steer a “small business and self-employed revolution” if in energy.
“There is too much talk that there’s going to be a recession,” Truss informed The Sun on Sunday tabloid.
“I don’t believe that’s inevitable. We can unleash opportunity here in Britain.”
She argued that the UK ought to create the financial circumstances to provide “the next Google or the next Facebook”.
“It’s about that level of ambition,” Truss added.
In a separate interview with the Mail on Sunday, Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng — who is predicted to move the finance ministry in Truss’s authorities — mentioned he understood the “deep anxiety” sweeping Britain as decades-high inflation bit.
“But I want to reassure the British people that help is coming,” he added, telling the paper that work had began on “the best package of measures” to permit the following prime minister to “hit the ground running”.
Either Foreign Secretary Truss or ex-finance minister Sunak will exchange outgoing chief Boris Johnson after the results of the summer-long contest is introduced on September 5.
The victor, set to formally take energy the following day, faces a frightening problem, with the Bank of England predicting a recession later this yr in addition to continued rising costs.
Truss has vowed speedy tax cuts quite than direct monetary handouts to assist folks struggling to pay their surging payments, drawing stinging criticism from Sunak, his allies and others.
Gove backs Sunak
On Saturday, senior UK Conservative lawmaker Michael Gove accused her of taking a “holiday from reality” with the tax-slashing plans amid the cost-of-living disaster.
Gove, who has held a raft of cupboard roles and beforehand stood to be Tory chief, as a substitute endorsed Rishi Sunak for the highest job.
“I am deeply concerned that the framing of the leadership debate by many has been a holiday from reality,” Gove mentioned in an article within the The Times newspaper.
“The answer to the cost-of-living crisis cannot be simply to reject further ‘handouts’ and cut tax.”
He added Truss’ plans to reverse a latest rise in nationwide insurance coverage taxes earmarked for the well being and social care sector “would favour the wealthy”, whereas slashing company tax would assist “big businesses, not small entrepreneurs”.
“I cannot see how safeguarding the stock options of FTSE 100 executives should ever take precedence over supporting the poorest in our society, but at a time of want it cannot be the right priority,” Gove mentioned.
The 54-year-old, who beforehand supported the right-wing lesser identified MP Kemi Badenoch within the management race earlier than it narrowed to the ultimate pair, mentioned he now backed Sunak.
“I know what the job requires. And Rishi has it,” he added.
Gove — who till July led the federal government’s division for levelling up, housing and communities, and has beforehand led the schooling and justice ministries — indicated he was not prone to tackle one other function.
“I do not expect to be in government again. But it was the privilege of my life to spend 11 years in the cabinet under three prime ministers,” he added.

The relics of the patron saint of a French town visited by millions of Catholics every year are to travel to the UK for the first time.
Carfin Grotto in Motherwell, which is celebrating its centenary this year, has been included as a Scottish stop-off point for a two-day display of relics belonging to St Bernadette.
Bernadette Soubirous was the firstborn daughter of a miller from Lourdes and is said to have experienced 18 apparitions of a "young lady" between February 11 and July 16 in 1858 who asked for a chapel to be built at the nearby cave-grotto at Massabielle.
After a canonical investigation, Soubirous's reports were eventually declared "worthy of belief" on 18 February 1862, and the apparition became known as Our Lady of Lourdes.
Despite being rigorously interviewed by officials of both the Catholic Church and the French government, she stuck consistently to her story
On 8 December 1933, Pope Pius XI, declared Soubirous a saint of the Catholic Church.
A film about her life starring Jennifer Jones - The Song of Bernadette - was made in 1943 and later turned into a Broadway play.
Catholics believe that Soubirous’s body has remained internally incorrupt.
The shrine at Lourdes went on to become a major pilgrimage site, attracting over five million pilgrims of all denominations every year.
Bishops from across Scotland will gather at the shrine on Sunday, September 25 for a service that will culminate in a torchlit procession.
Carfin Lourdes Grotto was created in the early twentieth century and was the brainchild of Father, later Canon Thomas N. Taylor, parish priest of St. Francis Xavier's Parish in the small, mining village of Carfin, which lies two miles east of Motherwell.
Following a trip to France's principal Marian shrine at Lourdes, Canon Taylor's vision was to build a religious memorial based on the template of the Grotto of Massabielle.
Since its opening in the early 1920s, the "grotto" has attracted pilgrims in the hundreds of thousands from Scotland and beyond.
A spokeman for the Diocese of Motherwell said: "This year is extra special for us at Carfin Grotto as we are celebrating 100 years since our opening in 1922.
"Closer to the date we will email and update pilgrims what is planned for each day of the relics visit."

Don’t forget to look up,” says Miguel “Big Mig” Indurain, the great Spanish cycling campeón, to the massed ranks of nervously fidgeting riders. We all laugh because how could anyone forget to notice the stunning sweep of the Dolomites unfurling above the forested valley behind him. But we know he’s right. Because for the next eight hours or so, most of us will be lost in a world of self-inflicted torment as we pedal agonisingly up vertiginous hills, only to plummet with our hearts in our mouths down the other side, before doing it again, and again… We are in Italy’s picturesque South Tyrol to take part in the glorious Maratona dles Dolomites – Enel. It’s one of the hardest – and almost certainly the most scenic – one-day bike races in the world.
Mountains and bicycles aren’t natural bedfellows. Defying the thigh-burning power of gravity tends to spoil what could be a blissful union. But the annual Maratona manages to celebrate the jaw-dropping beauty of this brutal landscape by sending 8,000 Lycra-clad riders up and down seven of its most famous peaks. And, despite the fact that almost every single one of us will spend the day cursing the absurdity of cycling uphill, none of us would have it any other way. The spellbinding physical beauty of the Dolomites will take your breath away in more ways than you could imagine.
Mercifully, the event takes place on roads that are completely closed to traffic, so there is no danger from motorists trying to overtake you on narrow bends or even angrily shouting at you to “Stay in single file!”. For one day each year, these mountains are a cyclist’s paradise and we stream out across the full width of the tarmac in an endless colourful ribbon of carbon bikes and neon jerseys, all of us relishing our unchallenged occupancy of the high-altitude switchback roads.
This summer is the 35th anniversary of the race. It’s come a long way since the first edition in 1987, when just 166 piston-legged riders took part. Today, the Maratona has evolved into one of the highlights of the Italian cycling calendar. It’s broadcast live for six hours on national TV; numerous former champions take part and some of the sport’s most talented amateurs turn up to fly around the longest of the three routes in about half the time it takes the rest of us mortals to drag ourselves around it. But the magic of the event is the sense of accomplishment that everyone has: whether finishing in four and half hours or 10 and a half hours.
The action gets under way at 6.30am at the bottom of a tree-lined valley outside the town of La Valle. Despite the severity of the challenge that lies ahead, there’s almost a carnival atmosphere among the peloton, with hot-air balloons, low-flying helicopters, a brass band oompah-ing away and the race director, Michil Costa, sitting at the starting gate in traditional lederhosen on a penny-farthing. It’s only actually 5km from here to the finish in nearby Corvara, but the route takes a dramatic 138km, six-town detour instead.
If you look at a side profile of the Maratona’s route it looks like the serrated edge of a terrifying knife. There are no flat sections, it’s all up, up, up or down, down, down. The seven epic peaks along the way add up to more than 4,000m of vertical climbing, and the names of the legendary mountain passes that straddle the route almost sound like found poetry: Passo Campolongo; Pordoi; Sella; Gardena; Giau and Valparola. Of these the real monster is the Giau. It’s 10km at a lung-busting average of almost 10%. And after the relentless drag up its flanks, what do we do? Plummet down the other side at rollercoaster speeds of up to 50mph.
Despite the tears, sweat and swearing, there is much camaraderie. Riders of more than 70 nationalities take part and on the back of our jerseys, rather than race numbers, we have our names and a national flag. It makes for a great conversational opener for on-the-course chats – not that we had any spare puff. On one particular climb I tried to distract myself by counting the droplets of sweat as they fell from my chin on to the handlebars of my trusty Pinarello bicycle.
The Alta Badians are rightly proud of their mountain home and the Maratona is a showcase for the area, which has a rich heritage of distinctive dress, food and even language – many still speak the local dialect, Ladin. Volunteers and schoolchildren roll up their sleeves and cheerfully hand out pastries, sandwiches, cakes, energy drinks, Coke and even chunks of glistening parmesan and beer at the final feed station; people ring cowbells and blow horns. All along the way our ears resound to chants of “Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!” After one particularly perilous hairpin there was even a bodybuilder stripped to his poseur pouch flexing his oiled muscles. I wasn’t sure if I was hallucinating as I cycled warily passed him.
After 7 hours and 47 minutes in the saddle, the finishing straight finally arrived – and even that was uphill. Of the 8,044 entrants, I came in 1,687th. I’ve never been so relieved to get off my bike. Every part of me ached, but I was curiously sad that my epic ride had come to an end. After pizza (and chips and bread) and several celebratory beers with my finisher’s medal around my neck (it’s made of crushed hay – the organisers try to be as green as they can), we walked back to our chalet hotel. The sun was chasing golden shadows up the towering walls of the mountains behind us. It had been an amazing day, but looking up it was very clear what the real stars of the show had been.
The next Maratona dles Dolomites-Enel is on 2 July 2023 (maratona.it). Finishing in Corvara, there are plenty of bike-friendly hotels in Alta Badia’s six villages (altabadia.org). A useful tool to prepare for the challenge, three times Olympic cyclist Oli Beckingsale offers a training app, Kudo Coach (kudo.coach) which sets weekly goals and a training plan
Country classics
One-day races in the UK that make the most of the scenery
Dragon Ride
Perhaps the most famous sportive in Britain, the Dragon Ride crisscrosses the Brecon Beacons. It’s incredibly popular, incredibly hard and incredibly beautiful. There are four distances to choose from: 297km, 223km, 153km, 99km (dragonride.co.uk).
Étape Loch Ness
Not to be outdone by Wales, Scotland also has a race to match: the glorious 106km Étape Loch Ness. Starting and finishing in Inverness, the route takes in stunning scenery as it skirts Loch Ness. It also boasts very safe traffic-free roads (etapelochness.com).
The Cotswolds Classic
For rolling English hills, head to Stratford-upon-Avon. This ride offers three distances (118km, 82km, 59km), all of them leading you through medieval villages and past flower-filled meadows, churches and stately homes (ukcyclingevents.co.uk).
Mendips Lumps and Lakes Ride
Not all sportives take in thigh-burning climbs. If you prefer a flat-ish ride before winding your way through the Cheddar Gorge, then this Mendips ride is for you. Choose between the short 57km route or the full 120km ring. Stunning stuff (mendipsride.com).
Fred Whitton Challenge
‘The Fred’, as it is often referred to, is probably Britain’s hardest ride – and arguably its most beautiful. The 183km route around the Lake District takes you over Hardknott Pass and offers jaw-dropping views of the Eskdale Valley (fredwhittonchallenge.co.uk).

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Leon Edwards dropped Kamaru Usman with a kick to the head and neck in the final minute of the fifth round to win the welterweight championship at UFC 278 on Saturday night.
Usman appeared to be seconds away from a 16th consecutive victory, which would have tied an all-time UFC record, before Edwards came up with the stunning finish just in time. He delivered the knockout blow with 56 seconds left in the bout.
“That crosshead kick landed perfectly,” Edwards said.
Edwards (20-3) is undefeated dating back to his previous bout with Usman in 2015. The British fighter rose to No. 2 in the welterweight division while accumulating nine wins in that stretch ahead of the title bout.
Usman (20-2) lived up to his reputation as the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world for much of the bout. The Nigerian weathered a late first-round takedown and turned the tables with a late second-round takedown. Usman controlled position throughout the third round, earning two more takedowns, and led 39-37 on the judges’ scorecards after four rounds. He appeared on his way to a win by unanimous decision before Edwards rallied in the final round.
“The octagon belongs to nobody,” Edwards said. “No man is meant to hold the belt for that long. I said all week I felt like this was my moment. This is how it was meant to play out.”
Edwards still believes he has plenty left to prove even though he is now the champion. He mentioned repeatedly how he didn’t like how his body reacted to Usman’s attacks throughout all five rounds.
“That wasn’t my best performance, and I did not feel myself in this,” Edwards said. “I feel like I have much more to offer.”
UFC’s first pay-per-view event in Utah drew 18,321 fans and $4.2 million in live gate revenue, a Vivint Arena record. It marked the 23rd consecutive sellout for the UFC.
Dana White praised the arena atmosphere and said the UFC could return to Utah as early as 2023.
“You could put this crowd up there with anybody tonight,” White said.
Paulo Costa prevailed over former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in a unanimous decision in the middleweight bout. Costa (14-2) had lost two straight bouts coming into Salt Lake City.
Rockhold (16-5) returned to the octagon for the first time in three years and his rust showed as the bout progressed. Costa more than doubled Rockhold in total strikes through the first two rounds and eventually left him with a bloodied mouth in the third round. Rockhold wiped his own blood over Costa’s face in the round’s final seconds while both fighters were locked in a stalemate on the ground.
“I didn’t see it in the moment of the fight. I just felt something on my face,” Costa said. “But when I saw, it was very disgusting. … It was a weird moment.”
Merab Dvalishvili prevailed over former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo in a unanimous decision in the men’s bantamweight bout, earning his eighth straight win. Aldo (31-8) had vocal support from the crowd but wore down under relentless pressure from Dvalishvili (15-4) over three rounds.
Lucie Pudilova beat Wu Yanan in the main card women’s bantamweight bout for her third straight win. Yanan suffered her fourth straight loss. Pudilova earned a TKO at the 4:04 mark in the second round after dragging Yanan to the canvas and repeatedly smashing elbows into her from a back mount.
Tyson Pedro earned a TKO over Harry Hunsucker 1:05 into the first round in the light heavyweight bout to round out the main card bouts.
Marcin Tybura handed Alexandr Romanov his first career UFC loss in the heavyweight bout, winning by majority decision. Romanov (18-1) slammed Tybura (23-7) to the canvas multiple times in the first round but ran out of steam in the remaining two rounds.
Sean Woodson and Luis Saldana fought to a rare split draw in a featherweight preliminary bout earlier in the evening. It was the first career draw for both fighters. | https://www.wvnstv.com/sports/edwards-stops-usman-late-in-5th-wins-ufc-welterweight-title/ | 2022-08-21T14:38:25Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/sports/edwards-stops-usman-late-in-5th-wins-ufc-welterweight-title/ | false | 33 |

For those who play video games, 2007 is often considered one of the best years of the medium. It was a year of bangers: Microsoft had Crackdown and Halo 3, Nintendo took Super Mario to the Galaxy, Call of Duty blew the world open by going modern, and so on. It cannot be understated how much that year just kicked arse for games, and in the upper echelon at the time was 2K Games’ Bioshock, which is now 15 years old as of today.
Developed by 2K Boston (later Irrational Games) and the now defunct 2K Australia, and directed and written by Boston’s Ken Levine, BioShock is a first-person shooter set in the 1960s. After surviving a plane crash, the protagonist Jack discovers the underwater city of Rapture, built as a haven for the elites of society by its creator, business magnate Andrew Ryan. The city was the perfect utopia, but everything eventually went to hell once a gene-altering substance called ADAM was discovered.
Through the use of serums known as “Plasmids,” everyone in the city got superpowers. Thus, a class war ensued: on one side, Ryan commanded his superhuman, diving suit-wearing Big Daddies to protect young girls called Little Sisters as they harvested ADAM from dead bodies. And on the opposing side was Atlas, a man who convinced the now poor citizens of Rapture to rise up against Ryan, with both sides using Plasmid-wielding citizens dubbed Splicers to wage skirmishes across the city.
Originally an Xbox 360 and Windows exclusive, BioShock released to critical acclaim, with particular praise for its atmosphere and narrative, which incorporated ideas from author George Orwell and most notably philosopher Ayn Rand. By the end of its debut month, it sold 490,000 copies, and by March 2010, it’d had sold 4 million across all systems. (In 2008 and 2009, it was ported respectively to the PlayStation 3 and Mac.)
For a time, BioShock fever swept across the industry. It was inducted into the Smithsonian’s exhibit devoted to the art of video games, and has been hailed as one of the best games of all time. Along with the original Mass Effect and 2008’s Braid, the game’s been used as examples when arguing the merit of video games as an art form. And it spawned two sequels: 2010’s BioShock 2 from 2K Marin was a direct sequel wherein players controlled a Big Daddy named Sigma a decade after the original game, granted the ability to use Plasmids and search for his missing Little Sister. Conversely, Infinite by the returning Irrational starred private eye Booker DeWitt endeavoured to ferry the reality-warping Elizabeth Comstock out of the sky city of Columbia in 1912. Both games would receive narrative DLC, but it was the “Burial at Sea” expansion for Infinite that definitively linked it with the story of the original game.
In the years since BioShock went quiet, there’ve been efforts outside of 2K and Levine to try and go for the same narrative highs of that first game. You can see its bones in other games like Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, Machine Games’ Wolfenstein reboot, and Arkane’s Prey or Dishonored without much effort. (Infinite is technically the first Dad Game, as it released only a handful of months before the original Last of Us.) Cyberpunk 2077, which arguably features better combat and immersive sim elements than BioShock, has a slice of the period piece shooter inside of it. You could probably even argue that something like Disco Elysium or Citizen Sleeper has also been influenced by it.
But for the franchise itself, it currently just…exists. Part of the issue is a lack of a follow up: a fourth entry is said to be in the works, but due to development issues that just plague the entire franchise, it feels more of an idea than reality. And though he left the series behind after 2013, Ken Levine hasn’t been able to release a game within the past nine years. All fans have been left to do is replay the old games, maybe discuss how time has treated the sequels in particular. Netflix has plans on making the first game into a film, something originally in the cards back in 2008, but it remains to be seen if the streamer will actually be able to make that a reality. But the real question about BioShock’s future, if it even has one, is what can it still bring to the table that the original trilogy didn’t already cover?
Let us know your thoughts on the BioShock franchise in the comments below. Think we could do with another entry, or should we kindly let it be harvested?
