Trump Org. CFO expected to plead guilty in NY tax case
Donald Trump’s longtime finance chief is expected to plead guilty as soon as Thursday in a tax evasion case that is the only criminal prosecution to arise from a long-running investigation into the former president’s company, three people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg was scheduled to be tried in October on allegations he took more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation from the company, including rent, car payments and school tuition.
Prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney's office and Weisselberg's lawyers met Monday with the judge overseeing the case, Juan Manuel Merchan, according to court records. The judge then scheduled a hearing in the matter for 9 a.m. Thursday but did not specify the reason.
The people who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case. They said the purpose of Thursday’s hearing was for Weisselberg to enter a guilty plea, but cautioned that plea deals sometimes fall apart before they are finalized in court.
Weisselberg’s lawyer, Nicholas Gravante Jr., told The New York Times on Monday that Weisselberg has been engaged in plea negotiations to resolve the case, but did not specify terms of a potential plea deal. Reached by the AP, Gravante declined to comment.
The Times, citing two people with knowledge of the matter, said Weisselberg was expected to receive a five-month jail sentence, which would make him eligible for release after about 100 days. The deal would not require Weisselberg to testify or cooperate in any way with an ongoing criminal investigation into Trump's business practices.
Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, is also charged in the case but did not appear to be involved in the plea agreement talks. Weisselberg and the Trump Organization have pleaded not guilty.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment. A message seeking comment was left with a lawyer for the Trump Organization.
News of Weisselberg’s plea negotiations came days after the judge denied requests by his lawyers and the Trump Organization to throw out the case. The judge did drop one criminal tax fraud count against the company citing the statute of limitations, but more than a dozen other counts remain.
In seeking dismissal of the case, Weisselberg’s lawyers argued prosecutors in the Democrat-led district attorney’s office were punishing him because he wouldn’t offer up damaging information against the former president.
The judge rejected that argument, saying that evidence presented to the grand jury was legally sufficient to support the charges.
Weisselberg, who turned 75 on Monday, is the only Trump executive charged in the yearslong criminal investigation started by former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who went to the Supreme Court to secure Trump’s tax records. Vance’s successor, Alvin Bragg, is now overseeing the investigation. Several other Trump executives have been granted immunity to testify before a grand jury in the case.
Prosecutors alleged that Weisselberg and the Trump Organization schemed to give off-the-books compensation to senior executives, including Weisselberg, for 15 years. Weisselberg alone was accused of defrauding the federal government, state and city out of more than $900,000 in unpaid taxes and undeserved tax refunds.
The most serious charge against Weisselberg, grand larceny, carried a potential penalty of five to 15 years in prison. The tax fraud charges against the company are punishable by a fine of double the amount of unpaid taxes, or $250,000, whichever is larger.
Trump has not been charged in the criminal probe, but prosecutors have noted that he signed some of the checks at the center of the case. Trump, who has decried the New York investigations as a “political witch hunt,” has said his company’s actions were standard practice in the real estate business and in no way a crime.
Last week, Trump sat for a deposition in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ parallel civil investigation into allegations Trump’s company misled lenders and tax authorities about asset values. Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination more than 400 times.
In the months after Weisselberg’s arrest, the criminal probe appeared to be progressing toward a possible criminal indictment of Trump himself, but the investigation slowed, a grand jury was disbanded and a top prosecutor left after Bragg took office in January — although he insists it is continuing.

It shouldn’t be a reminder fire departments have to give, but Oliver Fire had to remind people to stop blocking traffic as they pulled over to take photos of an RV on fire Saturday.
Oliver Fire Department took to Facebook to remind the public to stay clear of active fires after seeing traffic impede their crews getting to an RV fire in a timely manner.
“We feel we need to get this out there a bit more. A little reminder to the public. When you see smoke and/or flames, please stay clear of the area. It is not the time to get a cool picture for your socials.
Today, during a trailer fire, units were having issues driving through all of the traffic that had gathered to get a look at the scene.
“Not only does this pose a massive safety risk to our responding crews, but also to those that are driving into an already chaotic scene. This issue delays needed resources to the scene. Keep in mind, people’s lives can be on the line and you may be delaying the resources needed to save that life.
PLEASE!! Do not be a part of the problem. Stay out of the area and allow crews the ability to respond without having to navigate traffic that doesn’t need to be in the way,” wrote Oliver FD.

Edouard Mendy’s blunder was the talking point of Chelsea’s disappointing 3-0 defeat to Leeds United, as manager Thomas Tuchel discussed the moment.
The African tried to take on onrushing Brenden Aaronson after receiving a back pass from Thiago Silva. However, that plan backfired as the American nicked the ball off his toes before tapping in from close range to give the Whites a well-deserved lead.
When asked for his own take on the Senegal international’s gaffer at Elland Road, the former Paris Saint-Germain handler felt there was nothing to gain.
“He knows himself. With these kind of mistakes, I don’t know if it is necessary to speak about it,” Tuchel told Chelsea's website.
“He knows himself and it has nothing to do with protecting him, everybody in the world sees that mistake.
“It’s a huge mistake in a crucial time in the match. He’s the one who’s the most disappointed, this cost us a lot today.”
Mendy’s reliability has now been questioned after leaking five goals in his last two league outings.
His recent performance infuriated fans who suggested that he should be benched for Spain international Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Apart from the former Rennes player’s error and Kalidou Koulibaly’s dismissal, Tuchel stated that the first-half goals his team leaked made the difference in the keenly-contested affair.
“I think we lost it in the first 20 minutes,” he continued.
“We created enough chances and half chances to be 1-0 or 2-0 up and then we lost the discipline, we lost the repetition in doing what we wanted to do and what we did okay in the first 20 minutes.
“For 20 minutes we did it and then we did too much of our own ideas, too much different stuff, which cost us the dominance, cost us the chance to create more chances, but still we did not invite pressure, we did not invite chances, we were not in chaos.”

By Greg Baum
As all but 90,000 rode every bump and kick at the MCG, the earth almost literally moved. So did the AFL landscape.
In the most dramatic finale to the home-and-away season this century, Collingwood’s one-point win over Carlton knocked the Blues out of the finals berth that had seemed to be their destiny all season and established themselves in the final four, a year after finishing second last.
The beneficiary was the Western Bulldogs, who earlier in the day fought back from three goals down to beat Hawthorn in Launceston and so claim Carlton’s forfeit finals place. But how they must have gnawed every nail they had to the bone while waiting for their flight home. The difference between eighth and ninth was 0.6 per cent – and the world.
Simultaneously, crisis-ridden Essendon sacked coach Ben Rutten after one of the most embarrassing and undignified weeks in that club’s history. So did three of the biggest and oldest clubs in the game count their blessings and curses and again hold a city, a football nation in their thrall on Sunday afternoon.
For the ever charmed Magpies, it was their 11th win this season by less than two goals, far surpassing any season by any team for close finishes. It happens too often to be put down merely to luck. But it is now an intangible to be reckoned with in the finals series.
For the Magpies and Blues, it was equal and opposite emotions made more acute still by memories of all that has transpired between them in the game’s oldest rivalry.
Historically, nothing could cut Carlton more than to be knocked out of the finals, by Collingwood, by one point. The way they sprawled on the MCG turf at the final siren, they seemed to ask, quite reasonably: What more could we do? The answer was to kick one more behind: it would have been enough.
For Collingwood, nothing could surpass this, and it showed in their exultant leaps into one another’s arms. It was a long ago Carlton president, George Harris, who after narrowly downing Collingwood in a grand final exclaimed: “What’s better than beating Collingwood by 10 goals? Beating them by five points.” That can now be amended to 20 goals and one point. The Bombers could only watch and weep.
To summarise this game as a one-point win is like saying the Mona Lisa’s not a bad painting. To claim it, the Magpies had to reassert themselves after an eight-goals-to-one third quarter from Carlton that turned a 20-point deficit into a 25-point lead early in the last quarter.
The Magpies did it with the last score of the match, Jamie Elliott’s ice-cool shot on the run. Just more than 100 seconds remained. It’s fair to surmise that people had heart attacks and relationships broke up in that time. Blues skipper Patrick Cripps was fairly judged best player on the ground, but when he was held up in a tackle for perhaps the first time in the match, that was that.
On a made-to-measure footy afternoon at the MCG, the turnstiles stopped clicking at 88,287. This was back to the footy future. To add to the effect, there was a reserves match between the two clubs in the prelude. The epic terms of this match demanded that there be a curtain-raiser. For the record, Carlton won it.
The main game was a de facto final. It was a wonder that there wasn’t an airing of the national anthem, with the teams lined up. Instead, there were the club theme songs, the incantations of football nations. For Carlton, this was an elimination final in all but name, for the Pies a qualifying final.
As often happens in finals, the premium weighed on the contest. Many kickable goals were missed at both ends; who could have known then what that would mean in the final reckoning. But there was also some boundary-line gems.
It meant that in between the mighty roars, there were long lulls. In them, the crowd hummed and tensions pooled. This is footy’s rhythm. These are natural footy noises; only the AFL thinks they must be overridden by puffery and pap.
Collingwood controlled the first half without dominating it. In the third quarter, the match changed gear. Carlton’s strengths emerged in the power marking of Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay, also providing opportunities for flea-like forward Jesse Motlop. The turnaround was 45 points.
The Blues looked as they did in the first half of the season, the real deal. Momentum is everything in footy, and theirs had almost tilted the ground their way. This was despite the absence of midfield gun Sam Walsh for only the second time in his career. The Magpies looked like a team that, Icarus-like, had flown too high too soon. After 11 successive wins, they had succumbed to Sydney last week, seemingly breaking their spell.
But unlike Icarus, they grew new wings. The impossible became improbable, then possible, but was never probable until it was suddenly real. Again. In the last quarter, both teams had six shots at goal. The Magpies kicked 5.1, the Blues 0.6. Little known Pie Beau McCreery kicked the best, from a sliver of an angle in the Wayne Harmes pocket in contradiction of the time-space continuum. So was history shaped.
Considering what was at stake, this might have been the match of the season. Then again, it might not have been even Collingwood’s match of the season. They’ve had that sort of year. Last year, they finished 17th. Two years previously, Carlton were 16th. Here, at least, is solace and inspiration for Essendon.
At day’s beginning, it was the Carlton faithful who had caused the MCG to shake. At the end, the ground vibrated again, to the strains of the Collingwood chant. The “final” was over: let the finals begin.

Couple threatened with fine when their Golf GTI was caught speeding... while they were 1,500 miles away on holiday in Spain
- Gary Thornburn and Clare Beards left their car at Manchester Airport Terminal 3
- They used the official meet and greet firm to make sure it was looked after
- Their car was caught speeding at 55 in a 30 zone - two days after they left it
- The couple were on holiday in Murcia, Spain for 13 days from August 3
A couple were baffled when they were threatened with prosecution after their Golf GTI was caught speeding - while they were over 1,500 miles away on holiday in Spain.
Gary Thornburn and Clare Beards left their car at the meet and greet at Manchester Airport on August 3 before travelling to Murcia in southern Spain for 13 days.
The couple from Leeds were shocked when they received a prosecution notice after returning to the UK on August 16.
The letter, which dated from August 10, said their white Golf GTI was caught driving at 55mph in a 30 zone along Alan Turing Way in Manchester.
Pictures showed a car with the same number plate committing the offence on August 5 - two days after Gary and Clare left their car at the airport.
Gary Thornburn and Clare Beards (pictured at the back of the photo) were baffled when their Golf GTI was caught speeding while they were over 1,500 miles away on holiday in Spain
Manchester Airport said the car remained at the safe compound by meet and greet staff for their duration of the trip so couldn't have been used to commit the offence.
They added that the key was stored securely and the car must have been a different one.
Gary told the Manchester Evening News: 'I knew they take the cars off site to somewhere else but you don't think you'll be accused of speeding 11 miles away from the airport.'
'We opened the post and my wife came in and said I had a speeding fine from the August 5 but I said it can't have been either of us as we were away then.
'We had dropped the car off at Terminal 3 on Wednesday 3rd at around 10pm. I knew they would transport it elsewhere to a safe location. We used the official meet and greet firm as we wanted to make sure the car was looked after because it was very expensive.
The image on the left shows a car with the same registration plate committing the offence; on the right is Gary and Clare's white Golf GTI
'I wouldn't have ever thought somebody would've been driving around in it going at such a speed. It's a criminal offence and extremely dangerous going 55mph in a 30 zone.'
They contacted the police to tell them they were in Spain and couldn't have been driving the car when the offence was committed.
They are waiting to hear back.
Gary and Clare left their car at the meet and greet in Manchester Airport before jetting off to Murcia in Spain for 13 days
A spokesman for Manchester Airport said: 'We are aware that a customer who booked Meet & Greet car parking at Manchester Airport has received a notice of intended prosecution from Greater Manchester Police, which relates to an alleged speeding offence that took place while they were on holiday.
'We understand this would be distressing for the customer concerned, and launched an immediate investigation after being notified.
'This investigation has indicated the car that was booked in with us remained in a secure storage area until it was collected by the customer on their return.
'The key to the vehicle was also securely stored throughout.
'Further investigations indicate the vehicle shown in the speed camera image is different to the one that was left with us.
'While the customer concerned has not made a complaint to Manchester Airport, we have made several attempts to speak with them directly, in order to share our findings and remain eager to do so, as well as assisting the police in any enquiries they wish to make into the matter.
'We want to assure customers that there are a number of strict security measures in place to monitor the whereabouts of vehicles left with us and ensure they are kept safe at all times.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11132319/Couples-car-caught-speeding-1-500-miles-away-holiday-Spain.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-21T20:49:18Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11132319/Couples-car-caught-speeding-1-500-miles-away-holiday-Spain.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 5 |
The report “Frozen Bakery Products Market by Type (Bread, Pizza Crusts, Cakes & Pastries), Distribution Channel (Conventional Stores, Specialty Stores), and Form of Consumption (Ready-to-Proof, Ready-to-Bake, Ready-to-Eat) – Global Forecast to 2026″, global frozen bakery products market is projected to reach USD 29.5 billion by 2026, from USD 22.3 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. The busy lifestyle of consumers has contributed to the growth of the bread manufacturing industry to produce new products that could cater to the rise in demand from consumers. The increase in consumption of frozen bakery products in the emerging markets of Asia Pacific and Latin America has also led to a rise in the sales of frozen bakery products. The demand for frozen bakery products in developing regions is driven by the increase in disposable income.

Opportunities: Adoption of individual quick frozen (IQF) technology to maintain the freshness of frozen bakery products
The high-quality frozen bakery products are mainly attributed to the development of a technology, which is known as the individual quick-frozen (IQF) method. IQF is a freezing method that does not allow large ice crystals to form in food products. With traditional freezing, large ice crystals can damage cells and crystal fibers, which makes the food products dry out. IQF foods, however, produce small ice crystals that allow the fibers of the food product to remain unscathed. Microencapsulation is a recent technology that can help manufacturers achieve the goal of increasing the shelf life and texture of their range of gluten-free frozen bakery products. This technology is used to overcome the cardboard consistency of refrigerated pizza, rising crust pizza, and also the shelf-life extension of frozen and refrigerated dough, frozen biscuit dough, scoop and bake frozen muffins, and biscuits.
Challenges: Lack of transport infrastructure support in emerging markets
Refrigerated storage and transportation is a prerequisite for an efficient supply chain in this market. However, developing markets such as the Asia Pacific, Gulf, and Latin American countries lack efficient transport infrastructure and are not well connected. The missing links in these networks continue to limit route choice, while insufficient capacity and the poor quality of the infrastructure add costs and time to the transit.
Increasing demand of healthy frozen bakery products due to customers shifting preferences and hence development of specialty frozen bakery products.
The specialty frozen bakery products market is projected to attain exponential growth in the future due to the increase in consumer preference as an alternative to unhealthy bakery products. The economic development in the emerging, as well as developed economies, has led to a highly dynamic market scenario of bakery products. The increase in health concerns among consumers has provided a lucrative growth opportunity for specialty bakery product manufacturers to introduce fortified, gluten-free, organic, low-calorie, and sugar-free products and develop a broad consumer base. These factors have led to an increase in the number of specialty bakery shops across the globe.

Outlander star Sam Heughan is set to play the leading role in a film adaptation of the PlayStation game Days Gone.
The Dumfries born actor is best known for his role as Jamie Fraser on the historical fantasy series, and has already lined up his next big screen role. According to Deadline , Sony PlayStation Productions opted to develop the film after seeing the success Uncharted had at the box office, which grossed around $402 million globally.
Days Gone follows the story of Deacon St John, played by Heughan, a former motorcycle club member-turned-outlaw, who fights against zombie-like humans in a post-apocalyptic world after a pandemic wipes out most of the population. It isn't clear if this will be the 42-year-old's first role after Outlander Season 7, or if he will film the project between Season 7 and 8, as Starz's hasn't yet renewed the series for another season.
According to the PlayStation site, “Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game set in a harsh wilderness two years after a devastating global pandemic. Play as Deacon St. John, a drifter and bounty hunter who rides the broken road, fighting to survive while searching for a reason to live.”
Outlander Season 7 is currently filming in Scotland for release in 2023 on STARZ. As for it's future, Starz’s President of Original Programming Kathryn Busby told Deadline, following the announcement of the Outlander prequel, Blood of My Blood, "Outlander is such a very important show for us that we would love to have as much Outlander as we possibly can have. [The prequel will] absolutely not [take away Starz’s commitment to the original series].
"What we’ve proven with the Power franchise is that we can have different lanes of storytelling around the same base. We believe that we can do that with Outlander as well. They are not mutually exclusive at all.”
Outside of his Outlander commitments, the Scottish actor is keeping himself extremely busy alongside with his thriving drinks company, upcoming memoir and the highly anticipated second season of Men In Kilts, which wrapped filming in New Zealand in early 2022. Heughan's first memoir, Waypoints, is set to be released later this year as it gives fans a 'deeply personal' insight into the actors life.
Waypoints will be published in the UK by Radar, with a release date of 25 October 2022 and follows Heughan as he travels along the West Highland Way, explores his life and sees him reflect on the personal waypoints that define him. According to The Book Seller, the publisher said: “With the walk itself as the backdrop to the narrative, the result is a love letter to the wild Scottish landscape that means so much to Sam, and a charming, funny, wise, and searching insight to the world through his eyes.”
Sam Heughan added: “Waypoints is a memoir with a difference. I wanted to tell the stories and share the experiences that have shaped me, but to do that I needed to challenge myself and spend some time in my own company, away from the distractions of everyday life. And for me there’s no better place to reflect than in the wild Scottish Highlands.”

WESTFIELD, N.Y. — Few animals are more feared and misunderstood and have suffered greatly at the hands of man. But their reputation could not be further from the truth. They pose no threat, and to the contrary, play an important role in our environment.
In Chautauqua County, research is ongoing in an effort to help conserve the bat population there. Jonathan Townsend is a UB Ph.D. candidate conducting important studies.
"What I'm ultimately trying to do is identify environmental predictor variables that help explain bat activity so that we can find maybe places that are most important to them and refine conservation efforts and make sure that we're, if we're trying to do something to benefit bats, we can benefit them in the best way possible."
Locally, some species are being decimated by White Nose Syndrome, a fungal disease that was carried here from Europe in 2007. It has now spread across the country and has been found as far away as Washington State. One of our most common bats in NY, the Little Brown Bat has suffered declines from 90 to 99%
"White Nose Syndrome has been termed one of the most catastrophic declines of wildlife in modern history," Townsend explains. "So something up there with the Passenger Pigeon and the Bison, so this is a really serious population crash that's happened."
In the last decade it's estimated that globally, bats have declined by a third to half of the total population. Their loss will also be ours, as bats contribute much to ecosystem services.
"Just in Chautauqua County, bats are providing almost 10 million dollars a year just to Chautauqua County, and that's through control of insect pests for the agricultural industry."
The research will go far to help stem this fatal tide. But landowners can also help out. Erecting bat houses like these can provide a safe haven. Townsend believes that this colony has lived on the land since the Civil War.
"We can protect where they hibernate, and we can protect where they rear their pups. We have an active maternity colony here, every year these females are rearing pups at this same place. And so because they go back to the same place once you have that colony established, putting up a bat house is one of the best things you can do to create those conditions."
Townsend says that education and a change in attitude will also help to make sure bats survive in the future.
"We victimize these groups of animals at our own peril because we really need to be more concerned about a world without bats or a world with diminished bat populations than we actually need to be scared of bats themselves." | https://www.wgrz.com/article/sports/outdoors/bat-populations-have-declined-precipitously-in-the-last-decade-nature-outdoors-wny/71-2e8602ec-a725-44b5-9198-104fd93fb360 | 2022-08-21T21:02:01Z | https://www.wgrz.com/article/sports/outdoors/bat-populations-have-declined-precipitously-in-the-last-decade-nature-outdoors-wny/71-2e8602ec-a725-44b5-9198-104fd93fb360 | false | 1 |

Ireland’s Europe Minister has said he hopes Liz Truss will set a “good” pattern and “be her own person” when dealing with Brexit issues if she replaces Boris Johnson as next UK prime minister.
Thomas Byrne, Minister for European Affairs and Fianna Fail TD for Meath East, said he does not believe the door on resetting talks on Brexit has closed.
He said it is “difficult to know” if Ms Truss or her Tory leadership rival Rishi Sunak will have a different approach to dealing with issues like the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Polls have so far indicated that Ms Truss is leading the race ahead of Mr Sunak.
Mr Byrne told Newstalk’s On The Record show that he hopes Ms Truss will be her “own person” when it comes to Brexit issues.
He said: “At the end of the day, the British still have legal obligations, they still have to do what they said they would do.
“It’s no doubt it is in their economic interest and that I think that is becoming clearer all the time. They don’t want a trade war with the EU.
“We certainly don’t want a trade war with Britain.
“But, at the end of the day, they will have to decide not to ratchet things up.”
He also said Ms Truss has previously shown a “pragmatic and open-minded side”.
He added: “I actually don’t think the door for reset is closed.
“Prime ministers, when they take office, naturally take on their own vision of where the job lands.
“I don’t think you can predict what any prime minister will do. I’m not sure that as she gets into the job of prime minister that she will be as unpredictable as Boris Johnson was, because literally you wouldn’t know what would happen week to week.
“I suspect she will set a pattern. And I’d be hopeful that, overall, that pattern will be good, because what’s the Tories are doing at the moment is not winning them electoral success, despite the fact that it appeals to a certain base.
“But it doesn’t appeal to the broad mass of the British public. I think that they will look at this and say, ‘right, where do we have to change tack?’
“I think they need to look at Northern Ireland. They need to look at how the protocol is benefiting Northern Ireland, need to look at how the instability in Northern Ireland which is caused by British government prevarication and how that affects not just Northern Ireland, which it does, but it also affects the image of the British government.
“I think British governments and political parties have done well politically by championing peace because most people like peace, and people will vote for that.
“I think we can ever look at this and I hope that she will.”
Last week, Ms Truss told a Belfast hustings that she would not accept any compromises on a renegotiated Northern Ireland Protocol as prime minister if it meant key UK demands were not met.
“I will not accept anything that does not deliver on the key issues I talked about,” she added.

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.

2 men arrested in sex trafficking sting operation, sheriff’s office says
CASEVILLE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WNEM/Gray News) – Two separate arrests were made on felony charges for sex crimes following a human trafficking sting operation in Michigan.
Authorities arrested 66-year-old Dennis Bales and 70-year-old Dale Ignash on Aug. 17 on suspicion of sex crimes and using a computer in the commission of a crime.
The operation followed another Huron County sex sting in July, according to WNEM.
The operation happened out of an undisclosed location in Caseville Township, which used internet sex and prostitution sites, Huron County Sheriff Kelly Hanson said.
“They would literally ‘shop’ these sites, then reach out believing they were communicating and arranging a meeting with an underage sex participant; however, they were actually reaching out and communicating with our tri-county team,” Hanson said.
When the suspects arrived at the undisclosed location, young deputy sheriff decoys were used to satisfy the suspicions and curiosities of the suspects, Hanson stated.
Both suspects acknowledged wanting to have sex with an underage male, Hanson said.
A 68-year-old man who was an acquaintance of Bales was released after being detained. He could face charges, Hanson said.
Several items of evidence were seized by officers during the operation such as cell phones, cash and vehicles.
The Huron County Prosecutor’s Office formally charged both men with three felony sex charges involving minors. They were arraigned Aug. 18.
Bales’ bond was set at $200,000 cash. Ignash has been released on bond.
Bales’ bond was likely amended due to him having past sex-related convictions that have him on the Michigan Sex Offender Registry, according to Hanson.
This incident did not involve actual teens forcibly being human trafficked for sex, according to Hanson. However, residents are asked to be on the lookout for this type of activity and report it to their sheriff’s office or local police.
Plans are underway for another operation to occur in the future, Hanson said.

Mitch Albom was intent on chronicling the Tuesdays he spent with Morrie Schwartz, his favorite college professor who was facing Lou Gehrig's disease. Albom's only goal was to write a book to pay for Schwartz' medical bills.
But publisher after publisher rejected his book proposal. Some said Albom's story of reconnecting with his professor who was determined to teach a final class on life's lessons was too much of a "downer." But Doubleday took a chance 25 years ago this month and published Tuesdays with Morrie in a limited press run.
There were no reviews at the outset. And mixed reviews in the early days.
Eventually, readers spread the news by word of mouth. Albom made an appearance on Oprah. Doubleday says to date, Tuesdays with Morrie has sold nearly 18 million copies globally and has been translated into 48 languages. It's one of the best-selling memoirs in the history of publishing.
"I'm a much different person than I was when I first started visiting him," Albom told NPR. "And I'm happy to give him credit for that."
At its core, the memoir is about the power of relationship — between a professor and his student, between a man approaching his 80s and one not yet out of his 30s, and one whose accumulated life experiences can be passed down to a former student and then to the world at large, literally.
Schwartz established a rapport on Day One of class
To understand how their relationship developed, wind the clock back to the 1970s, when Albom was a freshman at Brandeis University. Arriving for sociology class, he saw a dozen or so students gathered and figured it might not be easy to cut such a small class and go unnoticed. But before he could sneak out, the professor called attendance in alphabetical order, beginning with Albom.
"Mitchell?" the professor asked.
Albom raised his hand.
"Do you prefer Mitch? Or is Mitchell better?"
"Mitch. My friends call me Mitch," he said.
"And, Mitch?"
"Yes?" Albom replied.
"I hope that one day you will think of me as your friend."
Albom stayed in that class and took every lecture Schwartz offered during his undergraduate years. They had lunch together, and Albom visited Schwartz' home. At graduation, he promised to stay in touch.
As often happens with such promises, life intervenes. There was not so much as a phone call or email from Albom to Schwartz in 16 years.
Nightline brought Schwartz back into Albom's life
Then, late one night in March 1995, Albom was channel surfing and heard Ted Koppel say something at the top of Nightline that got his attention:
"Who is Morrie Schwartz, and why by the end of the night are so many of you going to care about him?"
Koppel explained that Schwartz was terminally ill — a disease medically known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — but there was no curling up in the fetal position. Schwartz wanted to use whatever time he had left to teach about life to whoever would listen.
"When I saw Morrie on Nightline, the horror of the fact that he was going to die was mixed with the guilt that I felt over not contacting him for 16 years," Albom said.
So, he worked up the courage to call the professor he had called "Coach." He got through to his nurse, who handed Schwartz the phone.
"I said, 'Professor Schwartz, my name is Mitch Albom. I was a student of yours in the '70s. I don't know if you remember me.' And the first thing he said to me was 'How come you didn't call me 'Coach'?"
That's all Albom had to hear and soon reconnected with Morrie, the start of more than a dozen Tuesday sessions.
As he faced death, Schwartz offered lessons in life
Among Schwartz' regrets during his conversations with Albom was how young people grasped onto what he called "the major cultural values, like money status and power ... and then you find out it's not a good life. It's too empty. There's no real substantial meaning but by that time it's too late."
What stunned Albom during his Tuesday visits was how others who came to cheer up Schwartz often left his office an hour later in tears because Schwartz turned the tables on them and asked them about their problems — their love life, divorce or job.
"'I don't understand — you're the one who's dying, why don't you accept their sympathy? Why are you spending time advising people on THEIR lives,' " Albom recalled. "And he said, 'Mitch, why would I ever take from people like that? Taking just makes me feel like I'm dying. Giving makes me feel like I'm living.' "
That's when the trajectory of Albom's life started to change from someone he described as a "self-absorbed 100-hour-a-week journalist to someone asked to speak at funerals and hospice groups."
Albom said that line from Morrie — that giving makes you feel more alive than taking — was the beginning of his philanthropic work.
Schwartz' final request
Today, Albom still writes sports columns and does a daily radio show, but his passion is the work he does with an umbrella charity organization in Detroit and the monthly visits he makes to the orphanage he runs in Haiti.
"We have 60-plus kids," he said. "Many of them come up here. I have one with me right now, a 7-month-old. I'm changing diapers in my 60s."
When the baby had arrived at the orphanage, Nadie was suffering from severe malnutrition, so Albom brought her to Michigan where he hopes he and others who are helping can nurse her back to health in three months and return her to Port-Au-Prince.
The last Tuesday Albom visited Schwartz ended up being days before the professor's death in November 1995. Schwartz asked his student to visit his grave, have a sandwich and bring a blanket.
"He wanted me to talk to him at his grave. And I said, 'You want me to sit at your tombstone and talk to the air like a crazy person?' And he said, yes, just like we're talking now," Albom said.
"'Well, Morrie it's not going to be like we're talking now because let's face it you won't be able to talk back,' " he recalled. "And he looked at me as if I were being very naive. And he said, 'Mitch, I'll make a deal after I'm dead. You talk, I'll listen.' "
Then as now, Albom talks and Schwartz listens.
And as the last four words of Tuesdays with Morrie say: The teaching goes on.

Ariana Grande Shares New “Wicked” Teasers As Filming Begins
Ariana Grande arrived in the UK to start filming the highly anticipated musical film, “wicked”.
On Monday, July 11, Ari posted an Instagram story with some trailers related to “Wicked,” just as production and filming were beginning. According to hollywoodreporterfilming was supposed to start in March in Atlanta, but was pushed back to June 2022 on the soundstages at the newly built Sky Studios at Elstree, England.
The pop star posted two photos, one of hot air balloons in a vast open field, followed by a framed photo of one of the main characters from the Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow.
Fans have been eager for updates on the project ever since Ariana and the film’s director, Jon Chu, announced that the story would be split into two separate films.
In April, he explained on Instagram, “Here’s what happened: As we’ve been putting together this production over the last year, it has become increasingly clear that it would be impossible to turn the WICKED story into a single movie without doing real damage to it.” … So we decided to give ourselves a bigger canvas and do not just one WICKED movie, but TWO! With more space, we can tell the story of WICKED as it was meant to be told, while bringing even more depth and surprises to the journeys of these beloved characters.”
Since that announcement, Ariana has kept a low profile, likely rehearsing and preparing her voice for her role as Glinda the Good. Actress and singer Cynthia Erivo will take on the role of Elphaba. However, during a question and answer session for a promotion of REM Beauty, Ariana opened up about her experience auditioning for her dream role.
The two “Wicked” films will be released in “successive Christmas holidays starting in December 2024”, according to Chu.

2 men arrested in sex trafficking sting operation, sheriff’s office says
CASEVILLE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WNEM/Gray News) – Two separate arrests were made on felony charges for sex crimes following a human trafficking sting operation in Michigan.
Authorities arrested 66-year-old Dennis Bales and 70-year-old Dale Ignash on Aug. 17 on suspicion of sex crimes and using a computer in the commission of a crime.
The operation followed another Huron County sex sting in July, according to WNEM.
The operation happened out of an undisclosed location in Caseville Township, which used internet sex and prostitution sites, Huron County Sheriff Kelly Hanson said.
“They would literally ‘shop’ these sites, then reach out believing they were communicating and arranging a meeting with an underage sex participant; however, they were actually reaching out and communicating with our tri-county team,” Hanson said.
When the suspects arrived at the undisclosed location, young deputy sheriff decoys were used to satisfy the suspicions and curiosities of the suspects, Hanson stated.
Both suspects acknowledged wanting to have sex with an underage male, Hanson said.
A 68-year-old man who was an acquaintance of Bales was released after being detained. He could face charges, Hanson said.
Several items of evidence were seized by officers during the operation such as cell phones, cash and vehicles.
The Huron County Prosecutor’s Office formally charged both men with three felony sex charges involving minors. They were arraigned Aug. 18.
Bales’ bond was set at $200,000 cash. Ignash has been released on bond.
Bales’ bond was likely amended due to him having past sex-related convictions that have him on the Michigan Sex Offender Registry, according to Hanson.
This incident did not involve actual teens forcibly being human trafficked for sex, according to Hanson. However, residents are asked to be on the lookout for this type of activity and report it to their sheriff’s office or local police.
Plans are underway for another operation to occur in the future, Hanson said.

Ukraine's independence day celebrations won't have the usual fanfare as Russia persists in its invasion.
Aug. 24 marks the day when Ukraine's parliament vowed to separate from the Soviet Union in 1991. The date this year will also mark six months since the war began.
Perhaps the most striking departure from past festivities has to do with the parade.
Instead of the Soviet-style events — a ritual that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had called wasteful — Ukraine's military is lining the route with the burned-out husks of Russian military equipment.
"I think it's appropriate, if sad," Mykhailo Virchenko told NPR as he and his wife, Lubov, strolled past the installation on Sunday.
"We hope that we can celebrate independence without weapons in the future. Maybe with flowers and dances instead," Lubov said.
Thousands of people walked along the way as more flat-bed trucks brought in their cargo. Children played on the cannon barrels, while friends took selfies in front of armored personnel carriers.
Exposed to the elements, rust coated the armor where people etched graffiti like "revenge for Mariupol" or "for Mykolaiv," Ukrainian cities that Russia has attacked since February.
Ukrainian officials are warning civilians against gathering in major cities ahead of the holiday.
"Russia may try to do something particularly nasty, something particularly cruel," Zelenskyy said during his Saturday evening address.
Mykhailo Podolyak, a top adviser in Zelenskyy's office, said Russia would do whatever it could to make the people of Ukraine miserable.
"You'll remember they said they'd march in downtown Kyiv within three days of invading. Here we are six months later, having demonstrated how weak Russia is compared to Ukraine. So they'll want their compensation," Podolyak said.
Ukraine's Culture Ministry has confirmed there would not be any public celebration to mark the holiday. The current martial law prohibits large public gatherings.
"I think we can only celebrate once we win," Valentyn Paska, a Kyiv resident, told NPR. "I'm just going to work that day."
Instead, the military will conduct private flag-raising ceremonies, and some of the capital's monuments will be illuminated in blue and yellow, the flag's colors.

Canada’s under-20 men’s hockey team got to know adversity intimately over the past year-and-a-half.
The trials and tribulations paid off Saturday night as the team won gold at the world junior hockey championship in Edmonton.
After going up 2-0 midway through the second period, the group saw Finland roar back to tie the game 2-2 in the third and force overtime where a highlight-reel save by captain Mason McTavish turned into a championship-winning goal by Kent Johnson at the other end of the ice.
“It’s almost a year-and-a-half since our first training camp so for all of that hard work to have kind of paid off, it’s just so special,” McTavish said, gold medal draped around his neck.
The team initially came together in the summer of 2021, with the original tournament set to be played in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alta., that December.
Rising COVID-19 cases among players and officials caused the forfeiture of games and the event was halted after just four days.
The International Ice Hockey Federation promised to replay the tournament, but the only available time was in August — a period where young hockey players are often gearing up for training camps.
In the meantime, Canadian hockey came under fire as sexual assault allegations emerged against players of two former world junior teams. Hockey Canada faced intense scrutiny for how it handled the allegations, with the federal government freezing the organization’s funding and big-name sponsors pulling their support.
Several players opted not to take part in the summer tournament, creating big turnover on the Canadian squad, but the group persevered, said head coach Dave Cameron.
“This is a tough enough tournament to win when it’s a normal tournament at Christmas time,” he said. “And for this group to come in here under the cloud that they came in under, with what was going on with Hockey Canada, and the turnover, we had seven or eight guys that didn’t come.
“Just the commitment. … This group just stuck with it. That kind of was a theme.”
Canada was undefeated across the tournament, winning all seven games it played. The team trailed just once, falling behind 1-0 in a preliminary game to Czechia, the country commonly known as the Czech Republic, before eventually recording a 5-1 victory.
McTavish — the tournament’s most valuable player — led with 17 points (eight goals, nine assists), tying Wayne Gretzky and Eric Lindros for the second-most points ever scored by a Canadian player at the world juniors.
“They’re obviously in the Hall of Fame and to even have a quarter of their career, what they had and the success they had would be a success for me,” McTavish said. “I feel so honoured. I feel like I don’t belong there.”
An 18-year-old Anaheim Ducks’ prospect, McTavish has had a busy year. He suited up in nine games for the NHL team before returning to the Ontario Hockey League and ultimately helping the Hamilton Bulldogs to an Ontario Hockey League championship and berth in the Memorial Cup where they finished second. In-between, he pulled on the Maple Leaf for Canada at the Beijing Olympics.
Winning world juniors gold, though, is a dream come true, he said.
“I think any championship you win is so special,” he said. “Here, it’s an unbelievable feeling. Any time you get a chance to win anything, it’s one of the best feelings in the world and it’s so addicting. So hopefully I’m able to do it again.”
McTavish is one of 11 players on the Canadian squad eligible to play again when the 2023 tournament takes place in Moncton and Halifax.
Defenceman Olen Zellweger believes the group has a lot to build on moving forward.
“I think coming to this tournament, the experience and what you learn is invaluable,” said Zellweger, who had 11 points (two goals, nine assists) in the tournament.
“So coming back, I have a better understanding of how hard it is to win, how committed you need to be, how tight as a group you need to be to come out on top.”
While the 2022 world juniors was an odd affair — held during the hot summer without the packed crowds generally seen at the December events — the group has learned that the tournament comes with a lot of close games and a lot of expectations, Cameron said.
Having lived through that will serve the young players well, the coach added.
“Certainly they can draw on the experience that they had here and the pressure,” he said. “So when they do go to that tournament, there should be no surprises about what to expect.”

Just like every other NFL team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have some tough decisions to make over the next couple of weeks, as they whittle down their roster from 85 players to the final 53-man list they’ll take into the regular season.
Those last few spots are determined by a wide range of variables, from positional depth to special teams value.
Buy Buccaneers TicketsFor the Bucs, the process of making those decisions is a team effort that no only involves general manager Jason Licht and head coach Todd Bowles, but a long list of other stakeholders in the front office and on the coaching staff.
“They have a great deal to do with it,” Bowles said Sunday about the level of involvement his assistant coaches have in that process. “Me and Jason [Licht], as well as [John] Spytek and [Mike] Biehl – we sit in these meetings and listen to the assistant coaches. We talk about fit – how they fit, where they fit, how versatile they are, how much they play [special] teams and how we are going to use them. With the starters and key backups, you want the best 53. Then for the rest of the makeup of the team, you want the right 53. There is a lot that goes into that and there are ongoing conversations all the time.”
One area that could provide the Bucs with some of their most difficult roster decisions this year is at wide receiver, where a long list of experienced players has been challenged throughout training camp and the preseason by a promising group of undrafted free agent rookies.
Bowles says those final decisions at receiver will be a simple matter of who they believe is the best player, rather than which pass-catchers might already have more of a rapport with Bucs quarterback Tom Brady.
“Well, it’s competitive,” Bowles said of the receiver battle. “If they’re good and make the team, they will mesh with Brady. It’s not about who he likes – it’s about who is the best player and who is the best fit for the team. If they’re the best fit for the team, they will be the best fit for the quarterback. We have a lot of competition there – every week has been a battle and it’s going to come down to the last week. It’s going to be hard either way, but a lot of guys can do a lot of things.”
Tampa Bay’s top four receivers appear to be set (Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Julio Jones, Russell Gage), leaving just a couple of spots on the final roster. Tyler Johnson, Scotty Miller, Breshad Perriman, Cyril Grayson Jr. and Jaelon Darden have all flashed potential, but undrafted rookies Deven Thompkins, Jerreth Sterns and Kaylon Geiger have made their own compelling cases to make the roster.
Saturday’s preseason finale against the Indianapolis Colts will give those players still on the bubble one last opportunity to prove they belong as the Bucs look ahead to Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. | https://bucswire.usatoday.com/2022/08/21/nfl-tampa-bay-buccaneers-roster-cuts-todd-bowles-jason-licht/ | 2022-08-21T22:34:15Z | https://bucswire.usatoday.com/2022/08/21/nfl-tampa-bay-buccaneers-roster-cuts-todd-bowles-jason-licht/ | false | 2 |

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho admits their rivalry with Manchester United means it is difficult not to take some pleasure from their recent struggles – he just wishes Manchester City would experience similar troubles.
Monday’s opponents have lost their opening two matches and head into the Old Trafford encounter against their arch-rivals bottom of the Premier League for the first time in more than 30 years.
Even though United finished five points ahead in second place in the 2020-21 season they have not been a genuine title contender since Jurgen Klopp arrived at Anfield in 2015.
Unlike City, with whom Liverpool have had some epic battles over the last four seasons.
“I think Man United is a really big team and has big money to invest as well so when a team like this is not successful, I think it is good for us because it is one less team that will fight for titles or to win championships,” said a smiling Fabinho.
“I think this is good for us. If this happens with City as well I would be happy as it is one less team that will fight with us.
“Some clubs can always fight for the top of the league or winning a championship and I think Man Utd is one of the teams and if things don’t happen in the way they expect of course we will be happy because it is one less team on the top fighting for us.”
Last season Liverpool won their two matches by an aggregate of 9-0, although Fabinho missed the 5-0 humiliation at Old Trafford – the Reds’ biggest win on the ground – as he was at home nursing an injury.
It meant he got to enjoy the game as a fan and found himself urging his team-mates to show no mercy despite racing into a 4-0 half-time lead.
A third successive victory over United would pile even more pressure on their arch-rivals and new manager Erik ten Hag.
“I don’t care if a win pushes them a little bit more into crisis, I just want to beat them and win three points,” added the Brazil international.
“The first half (last season) was almost a perfect game. We scored four goals and the way we played, the way we pressed them, the quality we played on the ball was really unbelievable.
“To be honest, I wanted the team to attack more to try to score more goals because we had one more player in that moment (Paul Pogba was sent off on the hour), but it was the moment where the team tried to control more of the game and to stabilise the ball.
“As a fan I wanted the team to score more because it was a big opportunity to do a historic score at Old Trafford but of course 5-0 was not bad.”
With injuries currently crippling Klopp’s side – particularly in midfield – there is a big debate about whether the manager needs to sign reinforcements.
They were linked with Monaco’s Aurelien Tchouameni but he subsequently moved to Real Madrid, while Klopp is a known admirer of England international Jude Bellingham, who plays for his former club Borussia Dortmund.
Any such arrivals would increase competition for Fabinho, so is he concerned?
“I didn’t hear too much about transfers. Of course there are always players linked with the club because the club has to look forward and try to be better,” he said.
“It is normal that good players are always linked with the club. I didn’t hear about Tchouameni. I heard about Bellingham because he is young and a really good player but he didn’t come.
“Liverpool is a big club and want to keep fighting with the best so it is normal that they will buy new players but it doesn’t bother me.
“I’m really confident. I am really happy here so if Liverpool buy another number six that is normal and I will fight for the team and for the position.” | https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/08/21/fabinho-hopes-man-city-soon-suffer-similar-downturn-to-struggling-rivals-united/ | 2022-08-21T22:35:10Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/08/21/fabinho-hopes-man-city-soon-suffer-similar-downturn-to-struggling-rivals-united/ | false | 11 |
Quando Rondo Was The Intended Target Of Recent Shooting: Report
Quando Rondo was reportedly the target in the recent shooting that left a second person in his vehicle dead, according to Fox 11 News. The outlet claims that police investigators have determined that the suspects intended to kill the 23-year-old rapper.
“A wild scene here as investigators say the apparent target of this deadly gun fire, a rapper of from the Atlanta area — they say a pretty well known rapper, too — in this area along with a second person in this back Cadillac Escalade — may have been a relative, may have been a member of his entourage — we don’t know,” reporter Ed Laskos explained. “But it’s that second person, not the rapper, it’s that second person who was hit by gunfire, dies by the gunfire.”

The shooting went down on Friday as Rondo's Escalade stopped at a gas station in West Hollywood. Video showing Rondo screaming as his friend's body was pulled out of the car by officials went viral on social media shortly afterward. The identity of the man who was killed is believed to be 23-year-old Lul Pab.
"We don't know why or how this happened, all we know is that the victim's vehicle, they pulled up, they were pumping gas and it looks like they probably finished pumping gas and the suspects approached from the alley, got out of the car and started shooting at those victims," Lt. John Radke of the Los Angeles Police Department stated.
Rondo's team eventually released a statement confirming that the rapper was safe, but that the other man had been killed: “Quando was involved in a shooting yesterday evening [Friday] which resulted in the untimely death of another’s young man’s life; he himself didn’t sustain any injuries during the shooting and is safe.”

About Pancon
Pancontinental Resources Corp. PUC PUCCF, or Pancon, is a Canadian junior mining company exploring the rich, underexplored Carolina Slate Belt in the southeastern USA. In January 2020, Pancon won the exclusive right to explore and purchase the former Brewer Gold Mine property, with an option period through October 2023. Between 1987-1995, Brewer produced 178,000 ounces of oxide gold from open pits that extended to 65-meter depths, where gold (Au) and copper (Cu) sulphides were exposed but could not be processed by the oxide heap leach operation. Pancon's 100%-owned, 1,960-acre Jefferson Gold Project nearly completely surrounds the 1,000-acre Brewer property. The Brewer-Jefferson area of interest, in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, is 12 kilometers along trend from the producing Haile Gold Mine, which produced 190,000 ounces of gold in 2021 (www.oceanagold.com). Brewer is a large, epithermal, high sulphidation gold-copper system driven by a sub-volcanic intrusive, possibly connected to a large copper-gold porphyry system at depth.

PHOENIX (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol leaned back in his chair postgame, trying to find more superlatives to describe ageless Albert Pujols. Words weren’t easy to come by, as the slugger’s lore in baseball history continues to grow.
“Listen to the names that we’re talking about, man,” Marmol said. “It’s unbelievable.”
Pujols blasted two more homers on Saturday night, pushing his career total to 692 and helping St. Louis beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 16-7.
With the first homer, Pujols passed fellow Cardinals icon Stan Musial for No. 2 in total bases in major league history and now has 6,143. Hank Aaron is No. 1 with 6,856.
It was a vintage night for the 42-year-old Pujols, who continues to hit like a man at least a decade younger. The 11-time All-Star hit solo homers in the second and fourth off D-backs lefty Madison Bumgarner, both to almost the same spot in the left-center seats.
He nearly hit a third homer, scorching a single off the base of the left field wall in the sixth. He capped his 4-for-4 night with a ground ball single through the left side of the infield in the seventh.
Pujols could have had five hits, but Marmol elected to pinch hit rookie Nolan Gorman in the ninth.
Nobody was cheering louder than Pujols when Gorman singled.
“That’s what you’re supposed to do in baseball, have fun,” Pujols said. “When you don’t have fun, you put too much stress on yourself. It’s a great group of guys here, so it’s pretty awesome.”
Pujols needs four more homers to tie Alex Rodriguez for No. 4 all-time. He’s been on a roll over the past month, batting .386 with five homers over his past 16 games coming into Saturday.
The slugger says this is his last season. Just a few weeks ago, 700 career homers looked out of reach, but the way he’s swinging the bat, it appears very much in play.
“That’s the hard work I put in day in and day out,” Pujols said. “Nothing surprises me.”
St. Louis had an 8-4 lead going into the eighth but the D-backs rallied for three runs off reliever Jordan Hicks. Giovanny Gallegos was able to get out of the jam and the Cardinals tacked on eight insurance runs in the ninth, capped by Paul DeJong’s grand slam and Paul Goldschmidt’s three-run shot.
The Cardinals have won six straight games and 15 of their past 18.
Lars Nootbaar’s two-run triple in the sixth pushed the Cardinals ahead 7-4. Nootbaar also scored on the play, scampering home after right fielder Daulton Varsho bobbled the ball in the corner.
The Diamondbacks jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first on Christian Walker’s sacrifice fly and Carson Kelly’s RBI single that dropped just in front of a diving Nootbaar in right field.
Kelly finished with two hits and three RBIs. Jake McCarthy had a solo homer. Bumgarner (6-13) gave up five runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings. The left-hander said facing Pujols is never easy.
“That’s probably the best he’s ever hit me,” Bumgarner said. “It’d be hard to do much better.”
St. Louis starting pitcher Dakota Hudson gave up four runs over 4 1/3 innings. Genesis Cabrera (4-2) got the win in relief.
GOLD GLOVES
Nolan Arenado and Goldschmidt combined for the defensive play of the night in the sixth.
D-backs speedster Alek Thomas hit a high chopper into the middle of the infield. Arenado ranged over from third base, snagged the ball out of the air with his bare hand and then fired a low throw to Goldschmidt, who was able to scoop the ball from the dirt for the out.
Arenado has won nine Gold Gloves while Goldschmidt has four.
MAN ON THE MOVE
Pujols drew arguably his biggest roar from the crowd in the fifth, when he tried to steal second base.
The 235-pounder took the D-backs — and pretty much everyone else — by surprise but catcher Carson Kelly was still able to make an accurate throw for the out.
Pujols has never been known as a speedster, but has been good at picking his spots with 117 career stolen bases. He’s now been caught 43 times.
ROSTER MOVES
Cardinals: C Yadier Molina is away from the team for the next two days because of what Marmol called “business matters.” Marmol said he expects Molina will be back in the lineup on Monday. Molina was placed on the restricted list. C Iván Herrera has been recalled was activated from the taxi squad.
UP NEXT
The teams finish their three-game series on Sunday. The D-backs will pitch RHP Merrill Kelly (10-5, 2.81 ERA) while the Cardinals counter with LHP Jose Quintana (4-5, 3.38).

Angels’ Ohtani leaves game against Tigers with stomach virus
By DAVE HOGG
Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) — Right-hander Shohei Ohtani has been removed from the Los Angeles Angels’ game against the Detroit Tigers with a stomach virus. Ohtani pitched four innings, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks. He was 0 for 1 with a walk. Kurt Suzuki pinch hit for Ohtani in the fifth inning and Jimmy Herget replaced him on the mound in the bottom of the inning. Ohtani was 10-7 with a 2.69 ERA entering the game. The four-inning outing marked Ohtani’s shortest start since April 14, when he pitched 3 2/3 innings and allowed six runs in a 10-5 loss at Texas. | https://kvia.com/ap-national-sports-3/2022/08/21/angels-ohtani-leaves-game-against-tigers-with-stomach-virus/ | 2022-08-21T22:51:49Z | https://kvia.com/ap-national-sports-3/2022/08/21/angels-ohtani-leaves-game-against-tigers-with-stomach-virus/ | false | null |
WWE has taken to social media to share a sneak peak of an upcoming A&E documentary on John Cena's rivalry with Edge.
Though the Rated-R Superstar found his beginnings during WWE's Attitude Era, it was during the following Ruthless Aggression Era that he really took off as a main-eventer. This was where he began his legendary rivalry with The Leader of the Cenation, which lasted from 2005 to 2006.
This culminated in an iconic Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match at Unforgiven 2006 in Toronto, Canada. Cena would end the program victorious and as WWE Champion.
The rivalry will be discussed by Freddie Prinze Jr. and a panel of industry faces, in the latest episode of WWE Rivals. Shown in a clip posted to WWE's official Twitter page, the likes of Kevin Nash, Cody Rhodes, and Beth Phoenix appear around the table with Prinze Jr.
Clips of talking-heads featuring both John Cena and Edge are also present, along with the likes of Bruce Pritchard. Footage showing the two superstars in their younger days can also be seen in the clip.
The episode of WWE Rivals will air on the A&E Network on 22 August, 2022 at 10/9c.
When did John Cena last appear on WWE television?
The former 16-time world champion has not wrestled in WWE since his match with Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2021.
However, this doesn't mean the Peacemaker star hasn't made the occasional return to WWE TV.
Back in June, Cena returned to Monday Night RAW to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his main roster debut. He then cut a passionate in-ring promo where he expressed gratitude for the world of professional wrestling and the WWE fans.
Cena was even introduced by former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, shortly after the controversial circumstances surrounding his departure made the news.
When do you think John Cena will next appear on WWE TV? Who would you like to see him face? You can share your thoughts in the comment section down below.

What is the Eco Mode of a car and when should it be used?
Photo: Obi Onyeador/Unsplash
The most modern cars are equipped with new technology that helps vehicles now offer features that have never been seen before.
One of the innovations More recent and common in cars is the Eco Mode. It is designed so that you can drive your car getting more miles per gallon and as soon as you want more power, you just have to turn off the driving mode and you will have more power.
What is Eco Mode?
Eco Mode is a technology that manufacturers have begun to install in vehicles with more frenquency. By enabling Eco Mode, you may decide to sacrifice some of your vehicle’s power and responsiveness and get slightly better fuel economy in return.
Some Drivers trust Eco Mode, while others insist that it is no different than adapting your driving style manually. While there is truth to both views, Eco Mode will improve your fuel economy no matter how you drive.
When should the Eco Mode be used?
you must use Eco Mode whenever you want to save fuelbut since it affects your vehicle’s performance, you shouldn’t use this drive mode every time you anticipate that you might need the added performance.
This means on highways and other busy roads; you should consider keeping Eco Mode disabled. You may end up going to the gas station a little longer, but you don’t want to get stuck without being able to accelerate as needed to avoid an accident.
How does Eco Mode work?
Eco Mode works by restricting engine and transmission performance to give you better fuel economy. This means that when you hit the gas, your vehicle won’t do everything in its power to go as fast as possible. Instead, it will do everything the manufacturer allowed it to do when installing Eco Mode.
In addition to restricting engine and transmission performance, Eco Mode adjusts all fuel, air, and other significant settings to get the most fuel economy out of your vehicle without serious side effects.

LILLE, France (AP) — Kylian Mbappe scored after just eight seconds of play to claim the joint-fastest goal in the history of the French league on Sunday.
Mbappe found the net at the start of a 7-1 win for defending champion Paris Saint-Germain over Lille on Sunday.
The visitors needed just four passes from kickoff to score as Lionel Messi hit a superb ball over the top for Mbappe, who cleverly lobbed Lille goalkeeper Leo Jardim.
PSG coach Christophe Galtier gave credit to his technical staff and to the club's Under-19 team.
From kickoff, Neymar played the ball back before receiving it again and passing to Messi, who spotted Mbappe’s run and had the technical brilliance to exploit it.
“Our Under-19 team did it in the youth league against Salzburg,” Galtier told a news conference. “We showed it to the players. They were OK to try it. So, we worked on it in training and it was very well executed tonight.”
The French league tweeted that Mbappe’s goal ties midfielder Michel Rio who also needed just eight seconds to score for Caen against Cannes in 1992.
French sports paper L’Equipe was more cautious, calling it the fastest goal since Rio’s with Mbappe’s goal closer to nine seconds, it said. The French league started in 1932.
Galtier was referrring to Edouard Michut’s goal in a 3-1 loss to Salzburg in the youth league in March. Michut needed 11 seconds to score according to PSG’s official website.
The French coach also said that his staff studied similar kickoff routines in the German, English and Spanish leagues, mentioning Bournemouth and Rayo Vallecano as teams that scored such goals.
Mbappe had a hat trick while Neymar scored two goals and provided three assists against Lille as PSG extended its perfect start to the season with three wins from three games.

Stocks slip on Wall Street, oil drops amid economy worries
NEW YORK — (AP) — Stocks are slipping at the start of trading on Wall Street, interrupting their best run of the year. The S&P 500 is 0.4% lower Monday. Oil prices dropped much more sharply on worries about the global economy. China’s central bank cut a key interest rate after acknowledging more needs to be done to shore up its economy, the world’s second largest. Treasury yields also fell, as a measure of manufacturing in New York state unexpectedly sank deeply into contraction. The losses ate into a four-week winning streak for U.S. stocks, which had rallied on hopes that inflation is peaking.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. futures are falling ahead of a week of quarterly financial reports from retailers as well as government data that may shed light on how American shoppers and businesses are weathering stubborn, four-decade-high inflation.
Futures for the Dow Jones industrials slipped 0.5% as did futures for the S&P 500. Oil prices fell more than 5% and are nearing levels not seen since Russia invaded Ukraine in late February.
Walmart and Home Depot kick off a host of retail earnings reports on Tuesday, followed by Lowe's and Target on Wednesday. U.S. markets were roughed up three months ago when first-quarter financial reports from major retailers revealed a seismic shift in spending by Americans, and a significant struggle to deal with surging inflation on food and fuel and higher costs from a snarled global supply chain.
On Wednesday, the U.S. releases data on July retail sales. Economists surveyed by FactSet expect modest 0.2% growth from June, when sales rose 1%. That increase largely reflected higher prices, particularly for gas. But it also showed that Americans continue to spend, providing crucial support for the economy, though some economists suggest that's mostly coming higher-income households.
Businesses have been raising prices on everything from food to clothing to offset higher costs. The impact from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine worsened inflation pressures by fueling higher energy and key food commodity costs.
Global shares were mixed after China's central bank cut a key interest rate and Japan reported its economy picked up momentum in the last quarter.
The People's Bank of China cut its rate on a one-year loan to 2.75% from 2.85% and injected an extra 400 billion yuan ($60 billion) in lending markets after government data showed July factory output and retail sales weakened.
Beijing is aiming to shore up sagging growth in the world's second largest economy at a politically sensitive time when President Xi Jinping is believed to be trying to extend his hold on power.
The ruling Communist Party effectively acknowledged last month it can’t hit this year’s official 5.5% growth target after anti-virus curbs disrupted trade, manufacturing and consumer spending. A crackdown on corporate debt has caused activity in the vast real estate industry to plunge.
In Europe at midday, Germany's DAX lost 0.2% and the CAC 40 in Paris slipped 0.2%. Britain's FTSE 100 declined 0.4%.
In Asia, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index rose 1.1% to 28,871.78 after the government reported the economy, the world's third largest, expanded at a 2.2% rate in April-June from a year earlier, as consumer spending rebounded with the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions.
In Sydney, the S&P/ASX 200 climbed 0.4% to 7,062.50. The Shanghai Composite index edged less than 0.1% lower to 3,276.09, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index gave up 0.4% to 20,040.86.
South Korean markets were closed for a holiday.
Bangkok's SET index rose 0.2% after the Thai government reported the economy expanded at a 0.7% quarterly pace in April-June, slowing from 1.1% growth in the first quarter of the year.
Tourism has rebounded after two years of tight controls to fight COVID-19, but only to about a quarter of the pre-pandemic level.
“The outlook for the rest of the year will depend in large part on how quickly tourism recovers," Gareth Leather of Capital Economics said in a commentary.
In other trading Monday, U.S. benchmark crude oil shed $4.46 to $87.63 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It lost $2.25 per barrel on Friday.
Brent crude oil, the basis for pricing for international trading, gave up $4.62 to $93.53 per barrel.
The U.S. dollar slipped to 133.09 Japanese yen from 133.43 yen. The euro weakened to $1.0196 from $1.0261.
On Friday, Wall Street capped a choppy week of trading with a broad rally, as the S&P 500 notched its fourth consecutive weekly gain.
Major indexes got a big bump on Wednesday after a report showed that inflation cooled more than expected last month. Another report on Thursday showed inflation at the wholesale level also slowed more than expected.
They raised hopes among investors that inflation may be close to a peak and that the Federal Reserve could ease off on interest rate hikes, its main tool for fighting inflation.
The aggressive pace of rate hikes has investors worried that the Fed could steer the economy into a recession.

Smoke seen billowing into sky after haystack fire breaks out in Yorkshire village
Smoke was seen billowing into the sky as firefighters tried to stop a series of haystack fires in Yorkshire from spreading.
Residents were urged to keep their doors and windows closed while crews from four stations worked to put out the fires in open countryside near Swillington.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service had received a report of four large haystacks on fire at around 3.10pm on Saturday.
Crews from Castleford, Hunslet, Rothwell and two from Killingbeck stations were all dispatched to Hall Farm Road.

Three fire engines remained at the scene into the evening as crews continued damping down the site.
A spokesperson said last night that there was no danger to local residents but advised people to close doors and windows should they smell the smoke.
They said: “There are no road closures and no danger to lives. The smoke is clearly visible due to the current wind in the area.
"The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Believes Veritas Capital's $21 per Share Offer Price Significantly Undervalues the Company and Questions the Timing of the Proposed Transaction
Announces Intention Not to Tender its Shares and Encourages Employees to Review the Facts Before Making a Decision
ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y., March 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Laughing Water Capital, LP (together with its affiliates, "LWC"), a value focused investment firm that specializes in businesses undergoing transformational change, today issued a letter to the Board of Directors and employees of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company HMHC (the "Company"). In the letter, LWC explains why it will NOT be tendering its shares into Veritas Capital's $21 per share tender offer to acquire the Company. The full text of the letter follows:
Dear Members of the Board and Valued Employees:
Laughing Water Capital, LP (together with its affiliates, "LWC" or "we") is a significant stockholder of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company ("HMHC" or the "Company") and has been a public cheerleader for the Company over the last year, having publicly presented our belief that HMHC had the ability to ~double earnings per share over the next 3-5 years, while seeing its stock appreciate to more than $55 per share.1 As management has previously largely agreed with our assessment on numerous occasions – most recently in HMHC's New York offices on December 9, 2021 – we are extremely disappointed by the Board of Directors' (the "Board") decision to support a tender offer from Veritas Capital ("Veritas") that seemingly will allow Veritas to capture the spoils that HMHC's employees have worked so hard for, and that HMHC stockholders have waited so patiently for. We do not believe that this tender offer is in the best interest of stockholders, and we do not believe it is in the best interest of employees, and we will thus NOT be tendering our shares.
Troublingly, it appears that management has presented this tender offer as a fait accompli in internal communications to employee-stockholders, noting only that the offer is dependent on "customary closing conditions," rather than informing employee-stockholders that they have the RIGHT TO CHOOSE whether they will support this transaction by tendering, or NOT tendering their shares.2 We believe it is misleading and disingenuous to withhold such information from employees when informing them of this POTENTIAL transaction.
We further question the timing of this POTENTIAL transaction, as the deal was announced only two days before HMHC's previously scheduled Q4'21 conference call, where management would have surely provided guidance for FY'22, and provided information about the continued growth of HMHC's SaaS offerings, which clearly deserve a higher multiple than traditional education assets. This is noteworthy in light of CEO Jack Lynch having publicly commented, "We feel like we're set up really well for growth in 2022" on January 5, 2022.3 We would be remiss if we did not consider the possibility that management purposely accelerated this POTENTIAL transaction in order to prevent stockholders and employees from having access to all of the information – including FY'22 guidance and the ongoing SaaS transformation – needed to make a properly informed DECISION on whether or not to tender their shares.
We also question the price the Board chose to endorse. We give full credit to the hard work that has been accomplished since Mr. Lynch and Joe Abbott began their respective tenures as CEO and CFO of HMHC, but also note that stockholders suffered mightily through this period. In fact, on the date of Mr. Abbott's hiring as CFO (March 14, 2016), which we believe represents the beginning of HMHC's transformation into the company it is today, HMHC shares closed at $19.77. Nearly 6 years later, with a vastly improved cost structure, an overly conservative capital structure and a more predictable pure-play education business that is growing in exciting new ways, HMHC is undoubtedly a much better and stronger business today. Yet, the Board has approved a transaction at only $21.00 per share.
Putting aside this historical marker, simply examining the Company's "normalized" ability to generate free cash flow ("FCF") suggests that HMHC can generate ~$1.80 per share in levered FCF in an average year, giving zero credit for likely continued growth, continued margin expansion and very obvious improvements to the Company's current interest rate payments, which are well above market.4 We would further note that management has explicitly endorsed continued growth, continued margin expansion and improvements to the Company's interest rate payments, suggesting that this estimate is conservative. The price recommended by the Board thus represents ~11.7x normalized FCF.
If HMHC specifically - or the K-12 Content Industry more broadly – was about to plummet off a cliff, then perhaps this multiple would be justifiable. However, there is no cliff on the horizon. In fact, due to massive Federal stimulus dollars meant to address Covid related learning loss, Mr. Lynch himself has estimated that over each of the next three years K-12 education spending should expand by $67 billion, which suggests that rather than a cliff, the Company is hurtling toward a launch pad.5
We believe that Mr. Lynch overstated the case when he suggested that the market could improve by $67 billion, but if one were to examine the 25% of the "American Rescue Plan" that is mandated for learning loss, and assume that 15% of this money will go to curriculum, and that HMHC will capture share that is commensurate only with the Company's 10% Extensions market share, then HMHC would generate an additional ~$159 million in billings annually over this period, which suggests an additional $0.80 of FCF per share per year, assuming no incremental operating leverage beyond the Company's stated 65% incremental FCF margin.
We would not argue that this super-normal FCF potential should be capitalized indefinitely in the form of a drastically higher acquisition multiple, but to suggest that stockholders should sell at an extreme discount to normalized levels in advance of super-normal levels boggles the mind.
In our view, a more appropriate multiple would be a minimum of 15x steady state normalized FCF, which suggests a price of $27 per share. Given the aforementioned likelihood of future growth, margin expansion, ability to drive free cash per share through balance sheet and capital structure optimization, and near-term super-normal earnings, perhaps 18x, or $32.40 per share would be more appropriate.
Again, we question the way in which this POTENTIAL transaction has been presented to employees of HMHC, the timing of this POTENTIAL transaction which seems designed to prevent stockholders from having the information necessary to make an informed decision and the valuation of this POTENTIAL transaction. We are thus forced to ask ourselves additional questions:
1) Management has repeatedly stated that the market has not yet fully recovered from the impacts of the pandemic, most recently on the Q3'21 earnings call. Given the rock-solid balance sheet and substantial FCF being generated by the Company, there is clearly no NEED to sell the Company at this time. So why should stockholders CHOOSE to tender their shares at a low multiple now?
2) Management has clearly indicated that the last several years have seen increased investment in "Plate CapEx" as the Company's digital platform was being developed, but that the heavy lifting is now complete so future expenses will be lower. Why should long suffering stockholders CHOOSE to allow Veritas to benefit from these investments, without paying a full price for them?
3) Management has clearly indicated that due to Federal stimulus dollars meant to address the Covid learning gap, the K-12 instructional materials market should greatly benefit over each of the next 3 years. Given management's stated belief that the Company can generate 65% incremental FCF margins, these stimulus dollars represent the potential for enormous incremental FCF. Why should stockholders CHOOSE to tender their shares now, and allow Veritas to reap this bounty?
4) In our view, with a net cash balance, at present the Company's balance sheet is woefully inefficient, contributing to a depressed share price. Further, during our December meeting with management we explicitly stated our fear that an unlevered balance sheet was an invitation for private equity buyers to storm the gates, and attempt a "take under" of HMHC. Management acknowledged this risk, yet it now appears that they and the Board intentionally left the door wide open, and set out a welcome mat. Why should stockholders CHOOSE to tender their shares to Veritas now, rather than having management appropriately lever the Company, and internally tender for shares in order to increase the per share value of the Company?
If the Company were to apply net leverage of 3x 2021 EBITDA-Pre-publication Costs (conservative by industry standards, and the Company's own history), and then tender for shares at $21, it could shrink the float by 29%, while increasing normalized FCF to $2.54 per share.6 At the paltry 11.7x FCF multiple that the Board has approved, this implies per share equity value of $29.71. At a more appropriate 15x multiple, this implies per share equity value of $38.10.
Why is this not a better path forward when those stockholders who would prefer to sell for $21 can still sell for $21, while those stockholders who continue to believe in the business can realize a 41%-81% better outcome?
5) In July of 2021 the Company hired Chris Symanoskie as the new head of Investor Relations, and during a December 9th meeting with LWC, management detailed its plans to improve HMHC's Investor Relations efforts, including planning a full Capital Markets Day following the likely refinancing of the Company's debt in February of 2022. Management specifically mentioned it was attempting to recruit sell-side research coverage from analysts that focused on SaaS based Ed-tech companies, including Udemy, Inc. (UDMY), PowerSchool Holdings, Inc. (PWSC) and Instructure Holdings, Inc. (INST). These companies trade at an average of 7.1x trailing revenue. Why would the Board elect to try to sell the Company from currently depressed levels, rather than following through with a plan that could clearly elevate the public share price, and thus raise the floor for any potential buyer of the Company? Why should stockholders CHOOSE to tender their shares to Veritas in advance of these planned improvements to the Company's IR efforts, which if successful could see the Company's revenue multiple more than triple?
6) The timing of Mr. Symanoskie's hiring also calls into question the completeness of the Board's sale process. Examining public filings related to Veritas' 2018 acquisition of Cambium Learning shows a process that lasted ~10 months, and included contacting 99 potential buyers.7 In our view, the Company would not hire a new head of Investor Relations at the same time it was considering a sale process, which suggests at most the Board spent a "few" months considering a sale of the Company. We apologize for using the vague term "few," but given the Company's statement it held discussions with "several" potential buyers, "few" seems appropriate. In any event, "several" is drastically less than 99. Did the Board undertake a full and complete sale process designed to maximize stockholder value? Or was the search limited to those potential buyers that management and the Board had a preference for?
7) Mr. Lynch has commented, "Partnering with Veritas will provide HMH with the opportunity to accelerate our momentum."8 How exactly will Veritas accelerate momentum? As mentioned above, the Company clearly has access to capital through its presently under-levered balance sheet, so it is not that the Company needs capital from Veritas. Further, management and employees have been executing phenomenally well, so it seems unlikely that the Company needs additional help there.
Is it possible that rather than Veritas providing HMHC with the opportunity to accelerate momentum, Veritas will instead allow management to operate without the scrutiny that comes from being a public company? We recognize that re-making a company in public is no easy task, but management wanting to avoid scrutiny does not mean that stockholders should CHOOSE to tender their shares at an insufficient price after what appears to have been an abbreviated sales effort.
Is it possible that Veritas will accelerate momentum through realizing synergies? Mr. Lynch has communicated to HMHC employees that there are "no plans for any reduction in workforce at this time"9 (emphasis ours), and there has been no announcement at this time to suggest that HMHC might one day be paired with Cambium Learning, which is also owned by Veritas.
However, surely HMHC employees are aware of the history of workforce reductions in the education world more broadly as Private Equity has been consolidating the industry in recent years. Are employees to believe that Veritas will not eventually seek to reduce overlap between Cambium Learning, a company that boasts a presence in 94% of U.S. school districts, while HMHC claims a presence in 90%? Are they to believe that Veritas will not eventually seek to increase sales of its Extensions products by linking them to HMHC's Core offerings through the Ed Platform that HMHC employees have worked so hard to develop over the last few years?
We estimate that between consolidating the HMHC and Cambium sales forces and attaching Cambium's Extensions offerings to HMHC's Core, Veritas could realize more than $300 million of cost and revenue synergies, or more than an additional $2.00 per share of FCF. Why should employee-stockholders – whose jobs are potentially on the line – not be entitled to share in these synergies? At the meager 11.7x multiple that the Board has approved, that suggests an additional ~$23.00 per share of value creation that will accrue entirely to Veritas, rather than to the Company's stockholders.
To be clear: We believe the synergies alone could be worth billions of dollars to Veritas. Should employees be comforted by the statement that there are no plans to realize these synergies at this time? Should stockholders CHOOSE to support this transaction by tendering their shares at a price that not only undervalues the Company on a standalone basis, but also allows any future potential synergies to accrue entirely to Veritas?
8) As demonstrated above, we do not believe this transaction is in the best interest of stockholders, who are being asked to tender their shares at a price that is well below our estimate of fair value, and we do not believe this transaction is in the best interest of employees, who are being doubly dishonored by being asked to tender their shares at a price that is not only low on a standalone basis, but insanely low on a synergized basis at a time when their jobs are likely months away from the chopping block.
If neither stockholders nor employees stand to benefit, then who does benefit? The obvious answer is management, although we cannot be certain as thus far there has been no disclosure around whatever sweetheart deal management may have been offered as part of this transaction. But will management be thrown in the same bucket as the rank and file employees whose jobs will likely be on the line as a result of this transaction? Or will they be granted new options packages when Cambium and HMHC inevitably merge, and then given the opportunity to realize tens of millions worth of gains when the combined entity likely once again comes public several years later? Why should employee-stockholders not be entitled to participate in some of this potential upside?
In conclusion, we believe this PROPOSED transaction comes with more questions than answers as it does not appear to be in the best interest of stockholders or employees. We thus WILL NOT TENDER OUR SHARES, and we invite the Board and management to ponder the above questions internally when considering if they are fulfilling their fiduciary duties. We believe an honest assessment would lead the Board to conclude that it is in the best interest of the Company, its stockholders and employees to withdraw its support for Veritas' woefully insufficient tender offer. We further invite employees and other stockholders to ponder these questions as they consider their own response to the PROPOSED transaction.

The circumstantial evidence is piling up.
When you piece it together with the stories about Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni’s past, he’s a lot like one of the fans sitting in the seats. He has that gift of going from zero to rage in – excuse the example, offended tennis guy wearing the Giants’ hat – a New York minute.
We’ll get back to that, but for now suffice to say Sirianni’s temper is something to monitor. Let’s rewind to the Eagles’ first preseason game of the summer against the New York Jets.
The invective Sirianni directed across the field at Jets head coach Robert Saleh after linebacker Quincy Williams delivered a high and hard hit out of bounds hit on Birds quarterback Jalen Hurts was for mature audiences only. It almost certainly would have made lip readers blush. Saleh himself called the hit “egregiously awful.”
Sirianni needed more than just a few moments to let the anger go. The good news is Hurts bounced right up, and later said he was OK and isn’t “tripping” over it because stuff happens. Then he proved it with a nifty touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert. In the post-game Sirianni issued an apology of sorts.
“I was mad at the situation,” Sirianni said. “I was more mad at the player than Coach Saleh. Coach Saleh is a great guy. I have so much respect for him. It was just emotions of the game. I was just sticking up for Jalen. I’ll never apologize for sticking up for my players. I should have handled it a little bit better than I did.”
The coaches spoke after the game and all is well, by both their accounts.
Let’s rewind to the 2021 season, Sirianni’s first as a head coach. A bouquet of flowers was thrown at him as he walked off Lincoln Financial Field after a 27-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. It was an obvious reference to the story – well received, I’ve been told – about the Eagles as a whole being a flower that doesn’t look like much when it’s being nurtured but is stunning when it blooms.
The players loved it. It just came off a bit differently when Sirianni tried to explain it to reporters. Talk show hosts had a field day with it as the Eagles were mired in a 2-5 start.
Nobody with common sense appreciates strangers throwing anything at them, even if it was unclear whether it was an act of taunting, compassion or the thrower simply liked the flower story. But Sirianni did not like it. It stopped him in his tracks. His security chief turned him back toward the exit.
There also was a story that an Eagles jersey was thrown at Sirianni as he exited the field following a disappointing road loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. That could have been someone asking for an autograph.
Then there was the second day of joint practices this week between the Eagles and the Cleveland Browns in Berea, Ohio. Jacoby Brissett, the bridge quarterback for the Browns while Deshaun Watson serves his 11-game suspension, was asked about his relationship with Sirianni when the duo worked for the Indianapolis Colts. Brissett’s fondest memory?
“It is so many,” Brissett said. “I remember he was trying to fight fans one time they were booing us. A lot of good memories. A great friend. A great coach, obviously. I am extremely happy for him and the opportunity that he has been presented. I think he did a great job last year. Excited to see where he goes.”
Asked specifically when Sirianni wanted to take on the booing fans, Brissett replied “Every game.”
Sirianni downplayed Brissett’s remarks, but not the close friendship they have. Sirianni launched into a story about how he used to stick up for his older brothers when they were criticized, and that he’s wired to do so for his teammates and as a head coach, his players.
“I know these guys are the biggest, strongest men in the world and they can protect themselves, but I love these guys,” Sirianni said. “That’s just an instinct that you have. That’s how I was raised, and I was like, this is our family, and I just have that protective instinct to defend them, and that’s been like that with every team I’ve ever coached. I’m flattered that Jacoby said that.”
Then there is that story about Sirianni allegedly bullying some guy wearing a New York Giants hat while playing tennis on a South Jersey court. The guy went on WFAN radio to talk about it, but the bottom line is there was no scuffle, just a “‘FAN fan said, others say he didn’t” kind of situation that took place.
Regardless, it’s easy to see Sirianni as a passionate, caring and ready to fight for his family kind of guy. He’s fiery and he’s under intense scrutiny and pressure this year because the expectations are sky-high for the Eagles following the acquisitions of A.J. Brown, Haason Reddick, James Bradberry and draftee Jordan Davis.
No one can question Sirianni’s will to win. Learning to channel the frustration like the good coaches do is a work in progress.

White Sox can breathe sigh of relief after scary Yasmani Grandal injury
The Chicago White Sox had quite an injury scare during their road matchup against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday.
During the top of the 7th inning, Yasmani Grandal was waived home by third base coach Joe McEwing on a single by Elvis Andrus. The veteran catcher ended up being tagged out by Guardians catcher Luke Maile, and he was then seen grabbing his left knee in a great deal of pain.
Awful scene in Cleveland

— Starting 9 (@Starting9) August 21, 2022
Grandal was helped off the field and wound up leaving the clubhouse on crutches. At the least, the White Sox have avoided a notable injury concern with the two-time All-Star.
The White Sox announced ahead of their series finale against the Guardians on Sunday, which ended up being postponed, that Grandal was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left knee strain ailment. The team later noted that a medical examination of the catcher’s knee did not reveal any damage to the “ligaments, tendons or cartilage around” it. He is dealing with inflammation that was caused by the hyperextension of the knee.
For now, Grandal is “preliminary projected” to receive the green light to return to in-game action in 10-14 days. In Grandal’s absence, Chicago will be relying on Seby Zavala and also the organization’s No. 30 ranked prospect in catcher Carlos Perez, who was called up to the majors on Sunday.
Overall, the White Sox are still in the race for the top spot in the AL Central, as the reigning division winners are 2.5 games back of the first place Guardians. They also sit at 3.0 games back of the Tampa Bay Rays for the third wild-card spot in the American League. | https://clutchpoints.com/white-sox-news-chicago-can-breathe-sigh-of-relief-after-scary-yasmani-grandal-injury/ | 2022-08-21T23:45:54Z | https://clutchpoints.com/white-sox-news-chicago-can-breathe-sigh-of-relief-after-scary-yasmani-grandal-injury/ | false | 1 |

Having Nat’l Chairman, Presidential Candidate From North Is Unfair – PDP BoT Chair
It is unfair for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to have both its presidential candidate and the national chairman from the northern region of the country.
This was the stance of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Walid Jibrin, who was a guest on Channels Television Sunday Politics.
The presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, and the national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, are from the country’s northern region, a development Jibrin said is not ideal.
“To tell the truth, it will not be fair for the president of Nigeria to be from the north, the chairman of the party from the north, and the BoT chairman from the north,” he noted during the show.
“By next week, we will get the report. And when we find out that somebody is wrong in what has happened we will come up openly to tell the party that it is wrong. Whatever we can do, we will do it in the interest of the party to make the party remain as PDP.”

The PDP chief, who did not mind giving up his position to fix the rift in the party, also said the main opposition will retain the presidential seat next year.
Sunday’s comments came on the heels of the crisis in the PDP following its presidential election which saw Atiku emerging as the flagbearer.
The former vice president defeated Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State in the keenly-contested poll to clinch the ticket, a feat that kickstarted another round of crisis in the party.
While Wike in the wake of the election claimed he was cheated and accused the PDP of bypassing its laws in the poll, the Rivers leader was recommended, among others, as running mate for Atiku.
But the former vice president instead picked Governor Ifeanyi Okowa State, explaining that the move was because the Delta State governor meets “all or most of the qualities” he desires.
Following the comment, Wike accused Atiku of telling “many lies”. Efforts to reconcile the duo are yet to yield the desired results. | https://www.channelstv.com/2022/08/21/having-natl-chairman-presidential-candidate-from-north-is-unfair-pdp-bot-chair/ | 2022-08-21T23:46:17Z | https://www.channelstv.com/2022/08/21/having-natl-chairman-presidential-candidate-from-north-is-unfair-pdp-bot-chair/ | true | 2 |
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Drew Lock returned to practice for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after testing positive for COVID-19 this past week and missing the team’s second preseason game.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Lock reacted well to being back out on the field and had a normal amount of work. Carroll remained noncommittal to what that means for Seattle’s preseason finale next Friday at Dallas and whether Lock would get a chance to be the starter.
“The plan has been adjusted. I’ll talk to you more about it later in the week,” Carroll said.
Lock is in competition with Geno Smith to be Seattle’s starting quarterback following the trade of Russell Wilson to Denver in the offseason.
Lock was set to start the second preseason game last Thursday against Chicago. He took all the first-team reps in practice last Tuesday, but told the team at the end of practice he wasn’t feeling well. He was given COVID-19 test which came back positive.
Carroll said after Seattle’s game on Thursday that Lock was “really sick,” but he was cleared to return to practice on Sunday with the plan that he will get a significant amount of play time against the Cowboys.
“I still need to see him play, to see him fit in with our guys and all that,” Carroll said. “He’s done really well up until now.”
Carroll also said the ankle sprain suffered by offensive lineman Damien Lewis on Thursday is more of a “basketball” sprain and not a high-ankle sprain. Carroll said Lewis isn’t immediately popping back but it’s not as severe as it first seemed when he was taken off the field on a cart.

A New Zealand man who won $NZ19 ($A17) million on Lotto has revealed the lessons he learnt after becoming an overnight millionaire - and how he almost lost his fortune trying to help others.
Mark Lipsham, was working as a truck driver in the town of Warkworth, north of Auckland in 2017, when his life changed forever.
As he blew out the candles on his 53rd birthday cake one night, he wished for a big Lotto win - and then the strangest thing happened.
For more Personal Finance related news and videos check out Personal Finance >>
“I started dreaming numbers and seeing numbers around,” he recalled to the NZ Herald.
“I went to bed and I started writing these numbers down that I was dreaming about. So I put them onto tickets and went and bought some Lotto tickets and, um, yeah. Something amazing happened.”
Then, on November 28, 2017, Lipsham drove to work with a bunch of Lotto tickets in his glove box.
When he arrived at the worksite, his mates spoke of an unclaimed Powerball prize of $NZ19 million.
“Hey bro, someone at Warkworth won the Powerball and it hasn‘t been claimed,” they said.
Lipsham joked around and said: ”Yeah, that was me – I’ve got 12 months to claim it, plenty of time left.”
But that night, on his way home from work, Lipsham checked his Lotto tickets.
“Next thing you know, the lady behind the counter – her eyes went like basketballs,” he told the NZ Herald.
The woman at the counter hands the phone over and a man‘s voice says: “Congratulations. You are the winner of $NZ19,166,667.66 ($A17 million). How do you feel?”
Unable to comprehend what had happened, Lipsham drove down to the water, where he sat for a few hours.
“How do I take this? How do I soak this in? How do I receive this? I suppose it was a bit of a numb feeling,” he said.
“Back in the day, $NZ10 was a lot of money for me. Ten bucks, like, ‘hey bro, can I borrow 10 bucks? Oh no, man. I need this.’ You know?”.
‘Everyone started calling me’
However, Lipsham’s incredible luck quickly became overwhelming as people he hadn‘t heard from in years lined up to share his good fortune.
He quickly sank into a deep depression, where he was thinking the unimaginable – wishing he had never won the money and that he didn‘t want to be around to spend it.
By the time the money had landed into Lipsham’s bank account, word had spread and people began to come out of the woodwork asking for a loan.
“Next minute, everyone started calling me. ‘Hey, giz a loan, giz this, giz that’. There’s people I didn’t even know from around New Zealand, people from overseas ringing,” Lipsham said.
“You‘re getting phone calls all the time. You’re getting messages all the time. That’s the stuff that was hard for me. That was hard for me because I didn’t know how to deal with it,” he told the NZ Herald.
Two years later, Lipsham was in a dark place, and his $NZ19 million had shrunk to $NZ12 million as he stretched his generosity to try and help others.
By October 2019, Lipsham still had a fortune in the bank, and had no structure in his life or reason to get out of bed each day.
Seeking help
A neighbour, who had also been struggling, recommended someone who could help – Kim Helmbright - a clairvoyant who apparently knew about money.
Helmbright then took on Lipsham’s financial and legal affairs, while providing health and life counselling.
She encouraged him to steer clear of alcohol and moved from his rental home in Warworth to buy his own property.
However, Lipsham says he didn’t always agree with Helmbright’s advice.
“She made me cry a few times. She was actually telling me off and made me cry,” he said.
Lipsham says she told him: “I’m very expensive, and I like to be paid when I ask for it.”
And so he did, transferring $NZ70,000 over the course of their contact.
But it was a payment of $NZ2.8 million on December 2, 2019, that wound up in the High Court.
Helmbright had claimed it was a payment for services and that Lipsham had sent her money to buy houses she was choosing on his behalf.
The money was transferred just before Lipsham flew to the South Island, where one of his two daughters lives with her children.
The trip was only set to last a fortnight however it was stretched as Lipsham says, he was told there were delays buying property.
Lipsham got back to Auckland before the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020 and moved into a motel, but as the lockdown passed, his frustration grew.
In May, he texted her: “I don‘t know what is happening with the house, with my money. I used to get 32k-38k a month. Now I am only getting approx. 9k a month from ASB. I need to hear answers.”
That’s when Lipsham met Matt Blomfield, a man who he believed could help him.
Blomfield, a former pizza franchisee, had fought an infamous decade-long defamation fight, often representing himself, and the two discussed the $NZ2.8 million and Helmbright.
High court case
Two years later, at the High Court in Whangarei, Helmbright was asked to produce evidence to support her claim the $NZ2.8 million was paid for the services provided to Lipsham.
Helmbright produced evidence of a contract between the pair which Helmbright said was a “freelancing agreement” which she claimed was thrown together from documents online and signed by Lipsham in October 2019.
However, Blomfield later discovered the agreement was an almost perfect match for a “freelancing agreement” sold by a United States-based legal document company.
Associate Judge Gardiner found Helmbright “must have … downloaded and paid” for the agreement and ordered Helmbright to produce evidence of payment and purchase.
Lipsham wouldn’t tell the Herald about how matters ended, saying a settlement agreement doesn’t allow him to do so.
Lessons learnt
Now, Lipsham says he’s in a good place and states: “If there’s any money disappearing, it’s me making it disappear!”
He is preparing for his first overseas trip and upcoming marriage to a woman he met a couple of years ago.
“I had to rebuild the structure in me. I had to put it back and it took a long time to get that structure back. And I‘m glad I got it back,” he said.
“This fortune has created a space for me and this space is quite a big space. I‘m not all cramped up. Instead, the space that I’m in now … I can stand in one spot and I can look out and I can see what I feel.
“It‘s a feeling of freedom. And in that space, there’s a lot of growth in there. It’s right there and it’s happening … I can see things happening in front of me.” | https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/personal-finance/mark-lipsham-won-19-million-and-has-almost-lost-it-all-heres-why-he-wished-it-never-happened-c-7958455 | 2022-08-21T23:47:58Z | https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/personal-finance/mark-lipsham-won-19-million-and-has-almost-lost-it-all-heres-why-he-wished-it-never-happened-c-7958455 | false | 1 |

Newspaper headlines: 'Debt crisis fears', and Fury's knife crime pleaBy BBC NewsStaff Published1 hour agoSharecloseShare pageCopy linkAbout sharingImage caption, According to a poll for the i paper, more than 1.7 million households are thinking about or have already cancelled direct debits to energy suppliers this autumn. It comes as bills are expected to rise to £3,500, the paper adds, with energy firms urged not to chase those who cannot pay. Charity Age UK has warned that there could be a record number of pensioner deaths this winter due to rising heating costs and NHS pressures and has urged the government to offer "significant" help.Image caption, The Daily Express reports that National Grid bosses want to incentivise people to avoid using electricity between 17:00 and 20:00, which is described as the "high-demand slot". This includes power-hungry appliances such as washing machines, tumble driers and computer games consoles, the paper adds. An application has been made to regulator Ofgem for permission to introduce the scheme by late October.Image caption, Care home residents are being put at risk due to a severe lack of staff, the Guardian says. In some cases, people have been left in their rooms for 24 hours a day, denied showers for more than a week, faced assaults from other residents and left in their own urine. Staff shortages were identified by the paper at three-quarters of care homes in England.Image caption, Turning to emergency care, the Daily Telegraph reports that people calling NHS 111 are being left on hold 20 times longer than the expected time of 20 seconds. The average "time to call answer" was six and a half minutes, the paper adds, citing the latest official figures. However, some patients have reported being left on hold for even longer - up to an hour - and others have waited overnight for a doctor to call back.Image caption, In more optimistic health news, the Daily Mail says the NHS is trialling a blood test for those over the age of 50 which could prevent up to one in 10 cancer deaths in the UK. According to the paper, the health service is carrying out a world-first trial of the test, which is designed to detect more than 50 kinds of cancer before symptoms show. If successful, the test could be rolled out more widely to a million people as soon as 2024, then possibly nationwide.Image caption, Meanwhile, Conservative voters have expressed "sellers' remorse" over the ousting of Boris Johnson, according to polling and focus groups for the Times. The paper says voters would prefer Mr Johnson over Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss, with "little enthusiasm" in marginal constituencies for the Tory leadership hopefuls.Image caption, Metro joins several other papers to lead with boxer Tyson Fury's calls for a crackdown on knife crime after his cousin was stabbed to death at the weekend. The world heavyweight champion said in a post on Twitter on Sunday that his relative Rico Burton was "stabbed in the neck overnight". Mr Burton, 31, was attacked in Goose Green, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, police confirmed.Image caption, "Tyson's hell as cousin knifed to death," is the Sun's headline. Two men have been arrested in connection with the incident in which a 17-year-old also suffered serious injuries. The paper adds that the 34-year-old sportsman has called for tougher sentences for "idiots carrying knives".Image caption, "End this knife horror" is the headline the Daily Mirror opts for. Fury compared knife crime to a "pandemic", adding, "you don't know how bad it is until it's one of your own". The boxer has demanded that the government "bring back higher sentencing for knife crime".Image caption, Elsewhere, the Financial Time reports that a senior Russian diplomat has warned that Moscow does not see a possibility of a diplomatic resolution to end the war in Ukraine. The six-month mark of the start of the invasion is this week. In an interview with the paper, Gennady Gatilov, Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva, said the UN should be doing more to end the conflict.Image caption, And the lead story on the front of the Daily Star is about German wasps being "drunk on fermented fruit", adding to what the paper calls an already "trying summer for fed-up Brits".Sign up for a morning briefing direct to your inbox.CAREER CRIMINALS: If you had already made millions, would you keep offending?RINSE AND REPEAT: What's the point of mouthwash? | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-62627788?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | 2022-08-21T23:59:46Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-62627788?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | false | 3 |
The International Press Centre (IPC), Lagos-Nigeria decries the arbitrary approach of the NBC in revoking the licenses of alleged debtor broadcast stations.
NBC announced the measure Nigerian today, Friday, August 19, 2022. A total of 52 stations (television and radio) are affected.
IPC holds that the sweeping revocation confirms its concern that NBC exercises its powers arbitrarily without recourse to the public interest.
It also confirms our worry that NBC continuously constitutes itself to the accuser, the prosecutor and the judge in its own case.
In this particular instance NBC has not only ordered the revocation of licenses of many TV and Radio stations, but it has also gone further to usurp the authority of the President and Commander-In-Chief and the National Assembly by directing security agents to move in and effect its order.
IPC calls on NBC to exercise caution and ensure that it exhausts engagement channels before wielding a stick that may not only lead to thousands of job losses but also shrink the information dissemination space.
NBC should stop acting as a revenue generating agency that is unconcerned about the business environment of broadcast stations.
Nothing in its mandate says that it cannot contribute to the sustainability of broadcast stations who are having their own share of the economic crisis plaguing the Nation. | https://newmail-ng.com/nbcs-revocation-of-licenses-of-broadcast-stations-ipc-cals-for-caution/ | 2022-08-22T00:02:06Z | https://newmail-ng.com/nbcs-revocation-of-licenses-of-broadcast-stations-ipc-cals-for-caution/ | true | 1 |

Lock returns to practice for Seahawks after COVID case
Drew Lock returned to practice for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after testing positive for COVID-19 this past week and missing the team’s second preseason game.
The Canadian Press
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Drew Lock returned to practice for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after testing positive for COVID-19 this past week and missing the team’s second preseason game.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Lock reacted well to being back out on the field and had a normal amount of work. Carroll remained noncommittal to what that means for Seattle’s preseason finale next Friday at Dallas and whether Lock would get a chance to be the starter.
“The plan has been adjusted. I’ll talk to you more about it later in the week,” Carroll said.
Lock is in competition with Geno Smith to be Seattle’s starting quarterback following the trade of Russell Wilson to Denver in the offseason.
Lock was set to start the second preseason game last Thursday against Chicago. He took all the first-team reps in practice last Tuesday, but told the team at the end of practice he wasn’t feeling well. He was given COVID-19 test which came back positive.
Carroll said after Seattle’s game on Thursday that Lock was “really sick,” but he was cleared to return to practice on Sunday with the plan that he will get a significant amount of play time against the Cowboys.
“I still need to see him play, to see him fit in with our guys and all that,” Carroll said. “He’s done really well up until now.”
Carroll also said the ankle sprain suffered by offensive lineman Damien Lewis on Thursday is more of a “basketball” sprain and not a high-ankle sprain. Carroll said Lewis isn’t immediately popping back but it’s not as severe as it first seemed when he was taken off the field on a cart.

Capitol Records signs first AI virtual rapper FN Meka
(CNN) – A robot rapper that has over 10 million followers on TikTok has signed with Capitol Records.
FN Meka is the world’s first augmented reality – or “AR” – artist to sign with a major label. He has over one billion views on TikTok as the platform’s top “virtual being.”
His debut single “Florida Water” was released this week. The song is a collaboration between billboard chart-topper Gunna - who’s currently facing charges in a RICO case alongside Atlanta rapper Young Thug - and professional Fortnite player Clix.
While technically FN Meka is voiced by a human, everything else about his music is based in A.I.
Capitol Records said the project is a mix of music, technology and gaming culture.
The label said the signing is part of the evolution of the music giant’s 80-year history, calling it “a preview of what’s to come.”

WASHINGTON, DC. (CW44 News At 10 | CNN) — US Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Sunday that Americans can expect a decision from the Biden administration on student loans in the “next week or so” as a pause on federal student loan payments is set to expire on August 31.
With some 10 days to go, Americans have been left guessing whether President Joe Biden will extend the current moratorium or, perhaps, forgive some of their debt.
READ MORE: Two Men Arrested For Bank Robbery In Tampa“We’ve been talking daily about this, and I can tell you the American people will hear within the next week or so from the President and the Department of Education on what we’re going to be doing around that,” Cardona told NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press.”
He did not elaborate on the details, saying he would not get ahead of the announcement.
“I don’t have any news to announce today,” he said.
The White House has previously said that Biden will have something to announce ahead of the August 31 deadline.
READ MORE: Monkeypox Has Been Reported In A Minor In New York StatePayments have not been required on most federal student loans since March 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic hit the US, greatly affecting the economy.
Biden has extended the pause four times, most recently in April, arguing that it was necessary to allow federal student loan borrowers to get back on their feet.
Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers and advocates have been urging Biden to broadly cancel up to $50,000 in student loan debt per borrower, but the President has consistently pushed back on canceling that much.
Along with potentially extending the pause, the White House has suggested Biden is considering canceling $10,000 per borrower, excluding those who earn more than $125,000 a year — something he had campaigned on in 2020.
Biden has canceled more student loan debt than any other president, with his administration authorizing the cancellation of nearly $32 billion in loans largely for borrowers who were defrauded by their for-profit colleges and for permanently disabled borrowers.

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.”

Bell hits 2-run HR, Manaea goes 7, Padres top Nationals 2-1
By RICHARD J. MARCUS
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Josh Bell showed he’s out of his slump by slugging his second home run in two games against his former team to lead the San Diego Padres to a 2-1 win over the Washington Nationals. Starter Sean Manaea pitched seven strong innings for the Padres, scattering five hits and giving up one run — a solo home run to Nelson Cruz in the fourth — for his first win since July 31. The teams split the four-game series, with Nick Martinez earning his fifth save for the Padres by pitching a scoreless ninth inning. Nationals starter Patrick Corbin gave up two runs on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings. | https://kvia.com/ap-national-sports-3/2022/08/21/bell-hits-2-run-hr-manaea-goes-7-padres-top-nationals-2-1/ | 2022-08-22T00:36:09Z | https://kvia.com/ap-national-sports-3/2022/08/21/bell-hits-2-run-hr-manaea-goes-7-padres-top-nationals-2-1/ | true | null |

São Paulo Brazil
If the feeling of the direction of the Sao Paulo today is of pride, and happiness for receiving an unexpected R$ 12 million for the sale of Casemiro from Real Madrid to Manchester Unitedin 2013 the feeling was completely different.
Nine years ago, the board of then president Juvenal Juvêncio celebrated having made an excellent deal by selling the 21-year-old midfielder to the Spanish club.
For 7 million euros, currently R$ 34 million.
The negotiation was considered very successful by the behavior of the player himself. He had gotten lost in the transition from grassroots to professional.
Those who closely followed the CT of Barra Funda noticed.
Casemiro was carried away by the quick fame.
For the call-ups for Brazilian youth teams.
Although he had a lot of potential, he was marked by not dedicating himself to training. He acted like he didn’t need to.
It disobeyed tactical guidelines.
There was a lack of humility, guaranteed the sectorists, journalists who followed the daily life of São Paulo.
He, who was promoted with great hope on the part of the directors, began to be questioned by the press, by the fans, by the advisers. He could not establish himself as the absolute holder.
So much so that it came as a general surprise when Real Madrid wanted his loan. Only Ney Franco, who commanded the team, warned the managers that, if Casemiro changed, regained focus and accepted, without question, the coach’s determinations, he would become the great player that everyone expected from the base.
But Juvenal’s order was for Casemiro to be loaned to Real Madrid. The player’s departure took place thanks to scouts from the Spanish club, who were already watching him from the base.
Juvenal set the 21-year-old midfielder’s pass at €7 million. And he believed he had made one of the great deals of his life as a manager.
The negotiation was seen with great surprise not only by the leadership of São Paulo, which had failed to see so much potential in the athlete.
And he was betting on another midfielder from the base, Zé Vitor.
Much of the press no longer had faith in the player.
Many journalists doubted that the midfielder would be successful in Spanish football.
Several who applaud him today.
Real Madrid officials knew about the Brazilian’s fame.
And they realized how immature he was.
They dispatched him straight to Real Madrid Castilla, which is the Madrid club’s B team.
The praise reached José Mourinho, who watched him play. And he took him to the first team. After five months, the management of Real Madrid bought Casemiro, gladly paid the 7 million euros.
Carlo Ancelotti arrived at Real Madrid in 2014 and wanted more experienced players in midfield. And he recommended the loan of Casemiro. Porto was interested. I bet a lot on the vibrant steering wheel that the Brazilian had become. The Portuguese management insisted on including a clause in the loan contract. That, in order not to exercise the right to buy him for 15 million euros, R$78 million, Real Madrid would have to pay 7.5 million euros, around R$39 million.
Casemiro’s great performances in Portugal and Khedira’s success with Juventus made him feel regret in the direction of Real Madrid. And she spent 7.5 million euros to re-sign the player that was hers.
Since then, since 2015, Casemiro has not stopped growing. He established himself as an absolute starter not only for Real Madrid, but for the Brazilian national team. Essential piece.
Many important people from São Paulo followed Casemiro’s worldwide rise in surprise. Its real potential was not seen in Morumbi.
Five-time Champions League winner, three-time club world champion, three-time Spanish champion, three-time UEFA Supercup champion, three-time Spanish Supercup champion.
At 30, he couldn’t resist Manchester United’s harassment. He realized it was his last chance to make a big move, despite having an exceptional contract with Real Madrid, until 2025.
Manchester United’s proposal was fabulous.
60 million euros, around R$311 million. Plus the possibility of another 10 million euros, around R$52 million. The plus is linked to the number of matches as a starter.
The midfielder will receive 18.3 million pounds a year in England. That is, R$ 111.9 million.
São Paulo, as a training club, was entitled to R$ 12 million for the transaction.
The rigidity, firmness, discipline that Real Madrid and Porto demand from their players transformed Casemiro.
They turned him into one of the world’s leading midfielders.
Absolute holder and one of the leaders of the Brazilian team.
Not even the most optimistic of São Paulo’s leaders, in 2013, dreamed that the egocentric and stubborn young man would get this far.
Zé Vitor didn’t work out. He was loaned to Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia), São Caetano, Chapecoense. Without a contract with São Paulo, he went to Rio Claro, São Carlos, Atibaia, Itabaiana, Karmiotissa (Cyprus) and União Frederiquense, in Rio Grande do Sul.
The steering wheel is the same 30 years old as Casemiro…

KOLKATA: Several Durga
Puja committees in Kolkata will have 75 years of Indian Independence as their theme this year. For instance, Santosh Mitra Square Sarbojonin Durgotsab that will celebrate its 87th year, has chosen 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' as its theme and will hold a light and sound show on Indian Independence through a cutting-edge 3D object mapping technology.
The technology will be used to 'throw' colours of the National Flag on visitors at the entrance. Two big installations - resembling Lal Quila and the India Gate - will be set up. One hundred workers have been appointed for the job. "There will be more surprise elements, including a high profile chief guest at the inauguration," said Sajal Ghosh, general secretary of the Puja committee. The budget will exceed Rs 90 lakh.
Senior members of Kashi Bose Lane
Durga Puja Samity will organize an innovative story-telling session to mark 75th year of Independence, where youngsters will be explained why 11 priests are engaged to worship Durga at the pandal. Freedom fighters would dress as priests in saffron and carry on their activities from here.
"This was started from the year 1942. Till today, we maintain the same tradition of having 11 priests and start the puja a day after Mahalaya on prathama, instead of the conventional shasthi," said Somen Dutta, general secretary of the Puja committee.
Busts of freedom fighters Surrendra Mohon Kundu and Paresh Chandra Paul, who were the founder members of Milan Sangha Club, will be displayed during Puja days at the pandal at Sarkar Para in Belgachia, said treasurer Sujit Ghosh. These two were closely associated with freedom fighter Barindra Kumar Ghosh, who had instructed them to use the occasion of Durga Puja for secret meetings. This Puja was started in 1945.
Swapnar Bagan Yubakbrindra in Kankurgachhi will decorate their locality with the Tricolour, while Babubagan Sarbojonin Durgotsav at Dhakuria, in its 61st year, has planned to project the Indian economic development since Independence through models, installations and art. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/spirit-of-75th-year-of-independence-seeps-into-kolkata-durga-puja-themes/articleshow/93697393.cms | 2022-08-22T01:00:58Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/spirit-of-75th-year-of-independence-seeps-into-kolkata-durga-puja-themes/articleshow/93697393.cms | true | 1 |
It took until the late stages of Saturday’s gold-medal game, but Canada finally faced adversity at the World Junior Hockey Championship.
After blowing a two-goal lead to the Finns, Kent Johnson came to the rescue. At 3:20 of overtime, Johnson tucked home the rebound from his own shot to give Canada a 3-2 win and the gold medal.
Coming into the third, Canada held a 2-0 lead, but the Finns roared back to tie the game in front of 13,327 fans at Rogers Place. After being credited with just 13 shots over the first two periods, the Finns launched 17 shots on net in the third, and got goals from Aleksi Heimosalmi and Joakim Kemell to send the game to overtime.
The Canadians had plenty of chances to bury the Finns, but went 0-for-6 on the power play in regulation.
Canada also got goals from Joshua Roy and William Dufour. With two assists in the game, Mason McTavish finished as the tournament’s top scorer, with eight goals and nine assists. He was named tournament MVP.
But McTavish’s finest moment might not have been a goal or assist, but clearing what looked to be a tournament-winning effort from Topi Niemela off the goal line just seconds before Johnson notched the deciding goal.
From the group stage to the elimination round, Canada’s smallest margin of victory was three. But the gold-medal game against Finland marked a new type of challenge for the Canadians, as the opposition went into a defensive shell right from the opening faceoff.

The Finns clogged up the middle of the ice and broke up the flow of the game. When Canada established control of the puck in the Finnish end, four of the five Finnish skaters collapsed to the front of their own goal, acting as a blockade for goalie Juha Jatkola. From above, it looked as if the Finns were playing with just one forward and four defencemen.
But Canada broke the Finnish blockade at 11:18 of the first. McTavish came out from behind the Finnish goal, his shot was stopped by Jatkola, but the rebound fell to Joshua Roy, who made no mistake.
At 12:05, Finland’s Kalle Vaisanen finally recorded his team’s first shot on goal.
Canada didn’t allow the Finns the chance to slow them down in the second. Just 41 seconds into the period, a Dufour wrist shot beat Jatkola.
Canadian forward Kent Johnson had a chance to put his team up by three near the halfway mark of the period, but Jatkola denied him on the breakaway chance.
Maybe the Finns lack of output — just 13 shots — in the first two periods, lulled Canada to sleep. They came out with more offensive resolve in the final period and halved the Canadian lead at 4:09. Heimosalmi’s point shot floated through traffic and over the shoulder of Canadian goalie Dylan Garand.
At 10:46, the Finns got the tying goal, with Kemell one-timing home a perfect pass from Topi Niemela.
Canada outshot the Finns 33-31.
Where does this Canadian performance rank in world junior history? Before the final, The closest anyone came to even making the Canadians sweat in this tournament was Switzerland, who got to within 5-3 of the Canadians in the quarterfinals, a game the Canadians would go on to win by a 6-3 count.
Canada won its four Group A games by an aggregate score of 27-7.
But, In 2005, Canada’s most powerful junior team ever — featuring the likes of Sidney Crosby, Patrice Bergeron, Ryan Getzlaf, Brent Seabrook and Corey Perry — went 4-0-0 in the group stage, scoring 32 goals and giving up just five. The Canadians beat the Czechs 3-1 in the semifinal and triumphed 6-1 over Russia in the final.
While the world juniors has been plagued by poor attendance, the gold-medal game featured the largest and most animated crowd of the event. For the only time in the tournament, seats were opened to fans in the upper bowl of Rogers Place.
SWEDEN NETS BRONZE
Isak Rosen scored the game-winner for Sweden in a 3-1 victory over Czechia to take the bronze medal at the world junior men’s hockey championship earlier on Saturday.
After Sweden’s Fabian Lysell scored at 14:22 in the first period, Michael Gut pulled Czechia even with a power-play goal at 13:30 of the second.
But Rosen restored Sweden’s lead less than two minutes later and Linus Sojodin added an insurance goal with four minutes remaining in the game.
Bronze wasn’t the medal colour Rosen and his teammates wanted, but the Buffalo Sabres prospect was happy with his team’s performance Saturday.
“You strive to win the last game,” Rosen said. “Of course we wanted the gold, but better bronze than nothing.”
Sweden’s Jesper Wallstedt stopped 27 shots for the win. Czechia, formerly the Czech Republic, had 20 saves from Tomas Suchanek.

Producer of The Predator: The Hunt, John Davis celebrated that this film put the franchise in the spotlight again (this time, in a positive way).
Not only that, there really is an expectation for future projects, and some clues have already been given.
”Well, maybe there is an origin story (of the Predators), right? Maybe there’s another Alien vs. Predator, in a different situation. And maybe there will be a new modern version. And maybe there is something somewhere in the middle of it all.”
I told Variety.
“I think this character may appear in different historical periods.”
Responsible for Yautja’s movements in the new movie, Dane DiLiegro admitted that he would like to see the franchise explore other historical periods.
The actor says his favorite is Feudal Japan, providing a conflict against samurai.
“I would love to see Predator fighting some samurai. That would be really cool. It’s a very interesting time, with the armor and all.
I believe it would also bring a great artistic opportunity.””
READ TOO:
The Predator: The Hunt is available on Star+, and the plot follows Naru (Amber Midthunder) as a Comanche woman who was raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters that roam the Great Plains.
So when danger threatens her camp, she decides to protect her people.
The prey she pursues and ultimately confronts turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying confrontation between the two adversaries,
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that the franchise has highlighted Native American culture, as the comic book series Predator: Big Gamereleased in 1992, did just that.
Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Street) is the director, while Patrick Aisonwho has worked on projects such as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan and treadstonetakes care of the script. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/21/the-predator-producer-cites-alien-and-hints-at-the-future-of-the-franchise/ | 2022-08-22T01:08:35Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/21/the-predator-producer-cites-alien-and-hints-at-the-future-of-the-franchise/ | true | 1 |
DENVER — Giants manager Gabe Kapler began his Sunday by walking over to the tarp here in foul territory down the left-field line, taking a seat, crossing his legs and proceeding to sign autographs for just about anyone who asked.
The imagery of a manager so at peace, only a few hours before first pitch, is rarely seen in a major-league ballpark. Other parts of Kapler’s morning included tossing a football around in the outfield and playing catch with Logan Webb.
It only got stranger as game time got closer: an entire string section set up in left field (to perform the national anthem), two real-life donkeys made friends behind home plate (for no clear reason), and few more humans pretending to be animals plodded around the warning track. (It was mascot day, after all.)
But perhaps the oddest thing of all came in extra innings during San Francisco’s series finale here against the Rockies: they got a hit with a runner in scoring position, and before the 10th inning was over, did it again.
In one inning, the Giants recorded as many hits with a man standing on second or third as they did over their entire four-game losing streak, which came to an end Sunday with a 9-8 win in 11 innings over the Rockies.
Thairo Estrada delivered a tie-breaking blow with a single up the middle in the top of the 10th, and Austin Wynns provided an insurance run with an RBI double a couple batters later — the Giants’ fifth hit of the day with runners in scoring position.
After the bullpen blew leads of 6-3 after seven innings and 8-6 after 10, Wilmer Flores’ sac fly to drive home Mike Yastrzemski in the 11th proved to be the decisive run.
The Giants had to do it in extras after Tyler Rogers and Jarlín García combined to allow three runs, including a game-tying, 462-foot homer from Randal Grichuk in the bottom of the eighth that almost let a strong showing by Jakob Junis and a tie-breaking grand slam from Evan Longoria go to waste. Dominic Leone’s high-wire act allowed the Giants to escape the bottom of the 10th after Alex Young coughed up two runs and the lead.
The Giants bullpen had shown signs of improvement after posting a 5.50 ERA in July, with two earned runs allowed over their past 18⅓ innings entering Sunday. But they were tagged for five runs in 5⅓ innings before Zack Littell — the second-to-last remaining reliever in the bullpen — shut the door in the 11th to earn his third career save.
The game ended on a call overturned by replay review, after the Giants challenged that Evan Longoria applied a tag on to Sam Hilliard at third on the receiving end of a throw from LaMonte Wade Jr. in right-field, ultimately finishing the back-and-forth marathon with a double play.
Longoria’s grand slam broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh inning and gave the Giants their third — and loudest — hit with runners in scoring position on Sunday. It was also his third knock of the game, finishing a triple away from the cycle and making a bare-handed snag at third base that turned a surefire hit into the first out of the bottom of the ninth.
As Longoria waited to step into the batter’s box in the top of the seventh, Rockies manager Bud Black had a lengthy conversation on the mound with starter Kyle Freeland and the rest of the Colorado infield. Freeland was at 99 pitches and had allowed a single to Yastrzemski, a double to Austin Slater and issued a walk to J.D. Davis. Two Rockies right-handers were warming up in the bullpen, but Black opted to let Freeland face Longoria.
Moments later, Freeland doubled over on the mound in despair as Longoria’s tie-breaking grand slam flew over the left field wall.
Entering Sunday’s game, the Giants were 2-for-25 (.080) with runners in scoring position over the course of their four losses and were batting .216 (29-for-134) in those prime scoring chances since the start of August.
After Longoria’s grand slam, Estrada’s 10th-inning single and an insurance run provided on a double from catcher Austin Wynns, the Giants finished Sunday 5-for-15 with runners in scoring position.
Brandon Crawford continued his hot hitting since returning from the injured list, slapping a second-inning single the other way that drove home Longoria and got the Giants on the board. Wynns followed with a second RBI single that drove home Estrada, who of course only reached thanks to another Sunday oddity.
Estrada lined a hard grounder to third baseman Ryan McMahon — so hard, apparently, that it snuck through the webbing of McMahon’s glove, and play was paused briefly while he had his leather attended to.
Yastrzemski’s seventh-inning single broke another drought, of the personal variety. It was his first hit since Aug. 12, a stretch of eight games and 29 at-bats, the longest hitless streak of his career that had lowered his batting average to .208 entering Sunday.
All that backed up an excellent outing from Junis, who had never pitched in the unique elements of Coors Field that can cause problems for so many hurlers. Two home runs amounted to the Rockies’ only damage off Junis, who allowed three earned runs, struck out six and didn’t issue a walk over 6⅔ innings.
It was the second straight strong showing from the 29-year-old right-hander after struggling in his first five games back from a monthlong stint on the injured list with a strained hamstring.
Junis’ day ended prematurely with another injury scare, though.
On his 85th and final pitch, Sam Hilliard lined a 108-mph comebacker that struck Junis in his left hand. Junis finished the play, throwing over to first to record the second out of the seventh inning but appeared to be in serious pain. Head trainer Dave Groeschner came to check on him and eventually walked off the field with Junis.
Kapler said after the game that the initial scans on Junis’ left hand came back negative, but the right-hander will get a CT scan on Monday. Kapler noted that the ball hit Junis in the palm, leaving a visible imprint of the seams of the baseball. | https://www.paradisepost.com/2022/08/21/sf-giants-survive-bullpen-blowup-to-avoid-sweep-vs-rockies/ | 2022-08-22T01:14:51Z | https://www.paradisepost.com/2022/08/21/sf-giants-survive-bullpen-blowup-to-avoid-sweep-vs-rockies/ | false | 7 |

Zaquieu will try to take advantage of opportunity after escape from Trindade
zaquieu (Silvero Pereira) is the former butler of Madeleine (Karine Teles) and throughout the novel ‘wetland‘, the employee had good adventures in Bruno Luperi’s plot. In this sense, everything indicates that this week, the youngster will be ready to take the next step in his professionalization.
It turns out that in next week’s chapters, the butler will build up courage and ask Jove (Jesuit Barbosa) to become the next farm hand José Leoncio. It turns out that Trindade (Gabriel Sater) will leave the premises of Leontius and zaquieu will take advantage of the man’s absence to replace him in office.
In order to take the place of the devil, zaquieu will discuss the matter directly with Jove, as she knows that her husband Juma (Alanis Guillen) is in higher morale on the farm. It is worth remembering that the plot is in the final stretch and the author of the novel already prepares the environment to give a satisfactory ending to all the characters.
It is important to remember that “wetland” is a remake of the work shown by the Manchete network in 1990, and Bruno Luperi, writer of the current version, has made changes to the script. Thus, it is not yet known the characters will have the same ending as the original edition. The history of Juma and Jove airs Monday through Saturday at 9:30 pm. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/21/zaquieu-surprises-in-pantanal-and-makes-an-unusual-request-to-jove-jose-leoncios-son-has-no-reaction/ | 2022-08-22T01:21:50Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/21/zaquieu-surprises-in-pantanal-and-makes-an-unusual-request-to-jove-jose-leoncios-son-has-no-reaction/ | true | 1 |

SeaWolves Drop Series Finale to Ducks
August 21, 2022 - Eastern League (EL) - Erie SeaWolves News Release
The Erie SeaWolves were unable to hold onto a pair of leads against Akron RubberDucks and ultimately fell 6-4 on Sunday at UPMC Park following a 2:56 rain delay.
Erie opened the scoring in the second. Dillon Dingler was hit by a pitch from Gavin Williams. Gage Workman then cranked a two-run blast to right. It was his 10th long ball of the year and first since July 6 in Harrisburg. Two batters later, Dylan Rosa followed suit with his second big fly in as many days to give the SeaWolves a 3-0 lead.
Akron retaliated in the third. Jose Tena led off the frame with a single against Chance Kirby. Bryan Lavastida replaced Tena at first after hitting into a fielder's choice. Jhonkensy Noel doubled and moved Tena to third. Micah Pries brought Lavastida and Noel in with a triple. Angel Martinez tied the game 3-3 with an RBI double the other way for his first Double-A base hit.
Parker Meadows pulled the SeaWolves ahead 4-3 with a solo home run with one out in the fifth. It was his second round-tripper of the series and his 14th of the season.
Williams received the no-decision. He tossed 4.2 innings, allowing four runs on five hits, walking two, and striking out five.
Kirby got into some trouble in the sixth. Raynel Delgado and Chris Roller had back-to-back one-out singles to knock the Erie starter out of the game. Billy Lescher came in relief and gave up an infield single to Julian Escobedo. Lescher was able to buckle down, striking out Tena and inducing a fly out from Lavastida.
Kirby did not factor in the decision. He threw 5.1 innings, yielding three runs on eight hits, walking three, and striking out one.
The RubberDucks rallied in the seventh. Noel greeted Dario Gardea with a single and advanced to second on a walk to Pries. Martinez laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance both runners 90 feet. Delgado drove in Noel and Martinez with a two-run single to make it a 5-4 game.
Akron tacked on a run in the ninth. Noel collected his fourth hit of the day to begin the inning, this time with a single against Brendan White. Martinez laced an RBI double to give the 'Ducks a two-run cushion.
Robert Broom picked up his fourth save of the season. He pitched two shutout frames, giving up two hits, two walks, and striking out two.
Kyle Marman (5-2) earned the win. He tossed 1.1 scoreless innings, striking out two.

Boris Johnson plots his future among new friends while on holiday in Greece: Outgoing PM could consider public speaking roles after resigning
- Boris Johnson will step down as Prime Minister on September 5 and is considering new roles
- He’s probably in negotiations with speaking agencies in London and Washington.
- The Prime Minister has spent the past week in Karystos, Greece, with his wife Carrie and her family
Political waters may have been choppy for Boris Johnson in the final months of his premiership after a dramatic string of cabinet resignations.
Still, he appears to have spent his final days as prime minister making new friends in Greece, where he spent the past week with his family.
The Conservative leader was pictured smiling alongside a number of locals as he stayed with his wife Carrie, 34, near Karystos in the southern Greek island of Evia.
An image shows him taking full advantage of the relaxed atmosphere, with an unshaven Mr Johnson, 58, sporting a colorful retro Philippines t-shirt.

The Johnson family are now back in the UK after their restful break.
The Prime Minister, who will officially step down on September 5, is now considering his future career.
He is believed to be in negotiations with leading speaking firms in Washington and London.
The Washington Speakers Bureau signed its predecessor Theresa May.
The London Speaker Bureau has former Chancellor Philip Hammond on its books.
Theresa May (pictured) earned more than 2.1 million on the US conference circuit, but Johnson is expected to earn more
Mr Johnson, twice divorced, has admitted financial difficulties in the past and saw his income reduced when entering No 10.
He earned £155,376 a year as prime minister but has earned more than £4million from outside interest in the past 14 years, according to the FT.
Ms May has earned more than 2.1 million on the US conference circuit, but Mr Johnson is expected to earn significantly more.

Only 35% believed the best was yet to come.Despite predictions from pundits and political analysts that a recent string of legislative victories would translate into a boost at the polls, US President Biden’s approval rating has remained stubbornly low, with just 42% of Americans expressing support for his handling of the job in the latest findings.The recently-signed Inflation Reduction Act, which many economists have noted will do next-to-nothing to curb inflation in the short term, has yet to inspire much enthusiasm among the electorate.

President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) said, during the installation ceremony of the Federal Regional Court of the 6th Region (TRF-6), in Belo Horizonte, this Friday (19), that the new Court will accelerate the trial of cases.
In his speech, Bolsonaro recalled the steps for the implementation of the new court, from the design of the project, approval by Congress and presidential sanction.
“Fate wanted me to be the president who sanctioned the law for the creation of the TRF-6. A work that started back there to do justice not only with Minas, but with the entire Brazilian population, which will speed up its processes”, he said. “A long and difficult job, because we had a pandemic in the middle of the way, a Congress working largely virtually. With the approval of the project came the sanction, which, as you know, is not just my will, I have to be supported. But we went looking for alternatives to do that,” he added.
During the installation of the TRF-6, President Jair Bolsonaro highlighted that it is a great satisfaction to return to Minas Gerais, where he was reborn, and highlighted that the creation of the court does “justice not only with Minas, but with the entire Brazilian population that will have speed in the their processes”. pic.twitter.com/xUuQcTj80K
— The Time (@otempo) August 19, 2022
The president stated that it was difficult to name the new judges who were sworn in. On the 11th, Bolsonaro published 17 of the 18 names that were assigned to the new court, part of them he had to choose from nominated lists.
“It’s always difficult for us to decide, because they were excellent names that made it to my list table. But fate wanted, and God enlightened us, that we nominate you, young judges, for this young TRF. I am sure that with peace in your heart, faith and love, you will distribute justice to all of our Brazil,” he said.
Bolsonaro apologized with the gifts he needed to leave after speaking because he needed to make a trip to São José dos Campos (SP) and thanked everyone.
“I thank God for my second life. You know it’s not easy (being president of the republic). But we have many people on our side, and all Powers are committed to making Brazil a better place. I say goodbye to you, apologizing, because I need to travel to São José dos Campos. But I want to thank you all, congratulate Minas Gerais, and ask God to enlighten you all, where, approximately, in 50 days, we will be deciding what we want for our Brazil. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/20/bolsonaro-says-trf-6-in-minas-will-speed-up-processes/ | 2022-08-22T01:37:35Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/20/bolsonaro-says-trf-6-in-minas-will-speed-up-processes/ | false | 1 |

Pakistan's ousted prime minister Imran Khan has been booked under the Anti-Terrorism Act for threatening police, judiciary and other state institutions at his Islamabad rally a day ago, it emerged on Sunday.
The case surfaced hours after Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Sunday said that the government was mulling to file a case against 69-year-old Khan over his provocative speech delivered on Saturday night in the F-9 Park of the national capital.
According to the copy of the first information report, which has been seen by PTI, the case was registered at the Margalla Police Station of Islamabad at 10 pm on Saturday under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (punishment for acts of terrorism).
The FIR reads that Khan in his speech had "terrorised and threatened top police officials and a respected female additional sessions judge" with the aim to stop them from performing their functions and abstain from pursuing any action against any individual related to his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf party (PTI).
It says that Khan’s speech had spread fear and uncertainty among the police, judges and the nation.
In his address, Khan had threatened to file cases against top police officials, a woman magistrate, Election Commission of Pakistan and political opponents over the treatment meted out to his aide Shahbaz Gill, who was arrested last week on charges of sedition.
He had also taken exception to Additional District and Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry, who had approved Gill’s two-day physical remand at the request of the capital police, and said she should “prepare herself as action would be taken against her."
Earlier at a press conference, Interior Minister Sanaullah said that the government was holding legal consultations before launching any case against Khan. He alleged that Khan's speech was a continuation of a trend to target the army and other institutions.
"This is all happening in continuation - from a campaign after the Lasbela incident when six army officers were killed followed by Gill’s attempt to incite army ranks to go against their top command and then Imran threatening a woman judge and police officials for performing their duties as per the law,” the minister said.
His remarks came after Pakistan's electronic media watchdog banned satellite television channels from broadcasting live speeches of Khan following his provocative address on Saturday night.
The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) in a communique issued on Saturday said that TV channels despite repeated warnings had failed to implement a time-delay mechanism to stop the broadcast of material against “state institutions”.
"It has been observed that Mr Imran Khan, Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, in his speeches/statements is continuously alleging state institutions by levelling baseless allegations and spreading hate speech through his provocative statements against state institutions and officers which is prejudicial to the maintenance of law and order and is likely to disturb public peace and tranquility," it said.
According to the statement, after analysing the content of Khan's speech, it has been observed that the content was aired live by the licensees without an effective time delay mechanism.
The competent authority i.e. Chairman PEMRA in view of the above mentioned background and reasons hereby prohibits broadcast of live speech of Khan on all satellite TV channels with immediate effect, it added.
PEMRA, however, said Khan’s recorded speech would only be permitted to be aired after an effective delay mechanism to ensure monitoring and editorial control.
Reacting sharply to the ban imposed on the PTI chairman, his party said the government of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has a fascist regime.
"Imported fascists are trying to ban Imran Khan’s speeches on TV. They have lost the battle completely and now using fascism; they will fail! #HelpPakistan by raising our voices against fascists!,” Khan’s party tweeted.
Saturday’s rally was organised by PTI to express solidarity with Gill and stage a protest against what Khan claimed was “blatant fascism” prevalent under the “imported regime” of prime minister Sharif.
During the rally, Khan didn’t spare powerful Army, calling it “neutrals”, and urged his supporters to stand with the nation rather than the “gang of thieves”, in a veiled reference to the coalition government.
He also lashed out at the judiciary, terming them as “biased”.
While the army has not responded to his barb, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, Pakistan Peoples Party, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl and Mutahida Quami Movement Pakistan in a statement asked the judiciary to take legal action against Khan and his aides for threatening a female judge and intimidating police officers.
Since he was ousted from power in April, the cricketer-turned politician has repeatedly claimed that the no-trust motion against him was the result of a “foreign conspiracy”.
Khan has also emphasised that his party would not deal with or accept the “imported government” headed by prime minister Sharif.
Meanwhile, a defiant Khan addressed a rally at Rawalpindi’s Liaquat Bagh ground on Sunday night.
"Now Pemra is also in the game. What has Imran Khan done? His only crime is that he is not accepting this imported government," Khan said responding to the Pemra banning of his live speeches.
He also talked about the deteriorating economic situation and inflation, saying the country’s army chief had to go to countries like Saudi Arabia to get loans.
"The only way to bring the country out of the current situation is to hold fair and free elections,” he said.

Caixa Econômica Federal still pays the retroactive emergency aid. This month, there are confirmed installments and the Dataprev consultation site remains open for citizens to verify their right to a retroactive installment of the benefit.
At the beginning of the year, the Federal Government released the first retroactive payment. At the time, about 823,400 citizens were contemplated. However, according to the Ministry of Citizenship, the expectation is that more than 1.2 million will be covered. Therefore, about 450,000 citizens still have to receive their arrears.
How to consult the Retroactive Emergency Aid by Dataprev
First, to check if they are entitled to the benefit, the citizen must access the Dataprev portal. See the steps below:
- Access the Consultation portal to Emergency Aid;
- Fill in the field with your Individual Taxpayer ID (CPF);
- With your full name; and
- With your mother’s full name (or select the “unknown mother” option);
- Enter your date of birth in the requested field;
- Select reCAPTCHA to prove you are human;
- Click on “SEND”.
First of all, it is important to confirm that through the platform it is also possible to follow all the details of the orders, such as results, dates of receipt and sending of data by Caixa to Dataprev and vice versa.
Therefore, the value of the retroactive benefit varies according to the month of approval of the program benefit, between April and August 2020.
Therefore, whoever received the five installments receives R$ 3 thousand. On the other hand, the worker who started receiving in May is entitled to R$2,400. Furthermore,
- beginning of payments in June: R$ 1,800;
- in the month of July: R$ 1,200;
- August: BRL 600
Who will receive the new payments?
The new installments are being granted to male family providers enrolled in CadÚnico until April 2, 2020. In addition, the program must have been registered on digital platforms by July 2, 2020, the deadline for registration at the Emergency Aid.
Remembering that the parents of the “Extracard” group – composed of citizens who signed up for the program through digital channels – already received the benefit in January. In this sense, it still remains to receive those who entered the program through the CadUnique and Bolsa Família (now Auxílio Brasil).
However, the Ministry of Citizenship will still analyze the payment condition according to the profile of the beneficiary group. In practice, the folder will check:
- If the single parent is registered as a Responsible Family Member;
- Who received the simple quota of Emergency Aid between April and August 2020;
- If you do not have a spouse or partner; and
- Finally, if there is at least one person under the age of 18 in the family. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/20/emergency-aid-payment-of-one-more-installment-is-confirmed/ | 2022-08-22T01:42:18Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/20/emergency-aid-payment-of-one-more-installment-is-confirmed/ | true | 1 |

Sweden wins bronze medal at 2022 World Junior Championships
Sweden has won bronze for the second time in three tournaments after beating the Czech Republic 3-1 on Saturday afternoon.
It was a great result after a disappointing tournament for Sweden, who struggled to get many attacks from a front group that looked impressive on paper.
This is Sweden’s seventh bronze medal win and the second in the past ten years. The Czech Republic last won a medal in 2005, after finishing fourth in 2018.
Fabian Lysell opened the scoring for the Swedes and survived a Czech defensive attempt to complete a wraparound goal on Tomas Suchanek. That lead lasted until 33:30 when Jan Mysak’s shot hit forward Michael Gut in the power play for the 1-1 goal, giving the Czech Republic some life as they beat the Swedes 10-5.
That score stood for just two minutes, with Isak Rosen finding a way to beat Suchanek’s blocker for the 2-1 goal to close the middle stanza.
The Swedes seemed to be in the lead and not pushing too much. That changed with just over three minutes left in the game when Linus Sjodin’s wrist player defeated Suchanek’s blocker in the striker, giving Sweden the late advantage of two goals – an advantage that would last until the final buzzer.

Sydney council to hire anti-development ‘advocate’ despite low building rates
Waverley Council will hire a $100,000-a-year community planning advocate to help residents fight development proposals, despite an internal report finding the Waverley local government area had one of the lowest building rates in Sydney.
In what will be a litmus test for other councils considering the move, Labor Mayor Paula Masselos said the role would help correct an “imbalance” between developers and the community, which was causing “the rapid destruction of our built environment”.
“Overdevelopment is rife within the Waverley LGA,” she told a council meeting on Tuesday. “These developers are transforming our beautiful suburbs into boring concrete blocks with very little charm and character, and often in contravention of our planning instruments and vision.”
However, an internal report, compiled by council officers after Masselos raised the idea earlier this year, found Waverley had one of the lowest dwelling completion rates in Sydney, at 28 dwellings a year per 10,000 residents. That was higher than nearby Woollahra (11) and Randwick (23) but lower than Bayside (100), Sydney (109), Strathfield (103), Inner West (38) and Burwood (81).
“It appears that the numbers of dwelling completions do not necessarily correlate directly with the community sentiment in Waverley regarding feelings of ‘overdevelopment’,” said the report, which was presented to councillors on Tuesday.
Masselos said she read the analysis with interest, but it failed to consider “that we are a small LGA, that we are already one of the most densely populated LGAs in Australia and that we already have a very high number of pre-existing high rises”.
For example, she said the community was outraged by a proposal – approved by the state’s Eastern City Planning Panel on Thursday – to knock down four terraces and build two 10-storey residential “towers” at the corner of Syd Einfeld Drive, Oxford Street and York Road in Bondi Junction.
The buildings will be 36 metres tall, more than double the 15 metres normally allowed under local development plans. “Everyone is just devastated, it’s such an inappropriate thing,” Masselos said.
“We can’t keep going up and up and up and up. Where is it going to stop?”
The community planning advocate will have several tasks; to educate residents about the planning system, attend community meetings, field inquiries about proposed developments and administer a community survey about the issue.
Masselos originally wanted the position melded with an existing job, but council officers found it would take so long to restructure the roles that it was better to hire a fixed-term project officer in the interim, at a cost of $89,000 to $103,000 plus superannuation and other expenses.
Expert advice on designing the community survey would also cost another $30,000, they said.
When the Herald first reported on Waverley Council’s plans in March, developer lobbyist and head of Urban Taskforce Tom Forrest, said it was “NIMBYism at its very worst”.
But Masselos countered: “There’s no NIMBYism about this at all. This is about making sure that our planning instruments are respected.”
Just one Waverley councillor voted against hiring the planning advocate, the Liberal Party’s Will Nemesh, who said he “didn’t believe the role could actually fix the problem it was seeking to [fix], that being perceived overdevelopment”.
“The mayor basically [said] the role would be there to take a pulse on community opinion. I pointed out that’s our job,” he said.
“It’s councillors that set the strategic tone of the municipality. It’s not the role of the community advocate to change that – that’s what the councillors are there to do.”
Earlier this month North Sydney Council debated a similar proposal but opted against funding such a role; rather, it decided existing staff should return to “proactive education of the community” on development matters.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Sports Accountability Project (ASAP) announced today that Rev. Al Sharpton, who has previously impressed upon the National Basketball Association (NBA) to work with greater urgency and transparency concerning the ongoing investigation into extensive reports of racism, sexism and abuse by Robert Sarver, sent a letter today to PayPal CEO Dan Shulman calling on the company to end its relationship with Mr. Sarver. As the NBA's investigation, now in its 10th month, has proceeded, PayPal announced a ground-breaking, international partnership with Mr. Sarver and entities under his ownership, including the Phoenix Suns, the Phoenix Mercury, and Real Club Deportivo Mallorca.
Rev. Sharpton's letter, which was published as a full-page ad in the AZ Central newspaper today, reads as follows:
Dear Mr. Schulman,
I am writing to demand that PayPal cease doing business with any entity owned or associated with Robert Sarver, including the Phoenix Suns, the Phoenix Mercury, and Real Club Deportivo Mallorca. Mr. Sarver's leadership has been riddled with credible allegations of racism, misogyny, and harboring a toxic work environment. As you may be aware, ESPN published a detailed investigative piece on these complaints last November, and Mr. Sarver is currently under investigation by the NBA.
In June 2020, in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, Paypal was one of many companies to announce a significant investment in fighting institutional racism and advancing diversity and inclusion. In total, PayPal announced it would commit $535 million toward these causes. Yet, PayPal has continued to do business with Robert Sarver, who is a known perpetrator of racism and hate, and is now expanding its business relationship with Mr. Sarver internationally.
In light of these commitments, PayPal cannot simply ignore Mr. Sarver's transgressions. As someone who has dedicated my life to fighting injustice and speaking out against hate in all its forms, it is my duty and responsibility to call out such hypocrisy and to call on PayPal to uphold the values for which it proclaims to stand.
It is time for PayPal to put its money where its mouth is. Issuing a press release and writing a big check two years ago is not equivalent to doing the hard work that is required to achieve real change. I reiterate my call for PayPal to end its relationship with Robert Sarver and help hold him accountable for his egregious behavior.
Sincerely,
Rev. Al Sharpton

Uganda’s job market: It’s about who you know!
I am quite sure that many of our readers have heard of this popular adage: “It’s who you know, not what you know”. In Uganda, you don’t not need to have the greatest skills, talents, or brains to get hired in the job market. It’s mostly a matter of being in the right place at the right time and saying the right things to the right people.
Every day offers evidence of this thesis and it is one of the hardcore realities of our adult lives. Almost every day, I hear of someone being selected for a job because s/he was recommended by a powerful friend of the boss. Others are simply liked by the person who has the authority to promote and are given the jobs.
I know of a Ugandan executive who was recently made the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for one of the major government parastatals but to everyone’s surprise, she had neither applied for the job nor did she possess the minimum academic requirements.
Have you ever asked yourself: why do some people shoot straight up to the top while others instead languish in the unending morass of unemployment or lower management? Well, the real answer lies in the strength of somebody’s networks and connections.
There are plenty of smart people out there, with the abilities necessary to deliver the greatest results in a workplace. But sadly, those things don’t really matter when you’re not well connected. You can get way further with who you know as opposed to what you know.
In these difficult times, job search is one of those real-world concerns of everyday life that no university degree or textbook can prepare you for. Job search and its related unwritten rules should perhaps be added in all programs pursued at institutions of higher learning in Uganda. Graduates will need to combine capabilities with other things such as know-who.
Normally, before somebody is hired for a job, at any level, s/he should be adequately assessed and of course, subjected to some tests. Key among those tests should be enquiries regarding their integrity, intelligence and maturity.
Employers should hire people with integrity. People with integrity tell the truth, and they keep their word. They take responsibility for past actions, admit mistakes, and fix them. They know the laws of the country, sector, and company and abide by them. They play to win the right way, by the rules.
But how can you test for integrity? According to Jack Welch, in his book Winning: “If a candidate comes from inside your company, that’s pretty easy. You’ve seen him or her in action or know someone who has. From the outside, you need to rely on reputation and reference checks”.
The test for intelligence should not mean that a person must have read Shakespeare or can solve complex physics problems. Also, having a degree in Social Work and Social Administration doesn’t really mean that somebody is intellectually inferior.
But the candidate must possess a strong dose of intellectual curiosity, with a breadth of knowledge to work with or lead other smart people in today’s complex business world. We should not confuse education with intelligence.
A lot of people actually confuse education with intelligence. I had a similar view in the past but with experience, I have met a lot of smart, intelligent people coming from every kind of school and sometimes no school at all. A candidate’s education is only a piece of the picture, especially when it comes to intelligence.
Another important ticket into a job is maturity. You can, by the way, be mature at any age, and immature too. Regardless, there are certain traits that seem to indicate a person has grown up: the individual can withstand the heat, handle stress and setbacks, and, alternatively, when those wonderful moments arise, enjoy success with equal parts of joy and humility.
Mature people are confident, respect the emotions of others and are not arrogant. But as with integrity, there is no real test for maturity. You still have to rely on reference checks, reputation, and gut feelings.
But with all that being said, I have met dozens of people who simply attribute their work success to ‘luck’ and I believe there’s also some truth in that. All careers, no matter how scripted they appear, are shaped by some element of pure chance. Sometimes a person just happens to be in the right place at the right time when the career door swings open.
Here’s some advice to job-seekers: you need to grow your networks, with people within your organization, industry and externally. The larger your network, the more access to opportunities you have.
Be part of social events. Take advantage of social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) to engage and connect with individuals that matter. Be result-oriented in whatever you do because the best way to get noticed is with results.
Last one: qualifications, capabilities and talents are great to have – and should be celebrated – but they are not enough to get you a job or promotion. They can get you at the door, but not in the room. And oh! I almost forgot: congratulations to Jenifer Bamuturaki on her recent appointment as the Uganda Airlines CEO!

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N.

Historically, Black-owned barbershops nestled in neighborhoods throughout the country have served as pillars of cultural influence and the backdrops for crucial conversations. Dean’s Beauty Salon and Barber Shop, a Portland-based shop, is the longest-standing Black-owned business in Oregon. According to NPR, the shop is one of the latest additions to the U.S. NatiDean’segister of Historic Places.
Dean’s Beauty Salon and Barber Shop opened its doors in 1956. It was founded by married couple Ben and Mary Rose Dean, who left Alabama amid the Great Migration in search of a better future for their family. In 1944, they moved to Oregon, a true act of bravery as the state was segregated.
The Deans settled into a predominantly Black neighborhood and became instrumental in cultivating a strong sense of community. They acquired a house in the 200 block of Hancock Street and opened a barbershop in the basement of their home. They later opened a salon after navigating the obstacles of racial discriminatDean’sen trying to secure a loan.
Dean’s Beauty Salon and Barber Shop has evolved into a community mainstay. From urban renewal to the detrimental impact that COVID-19 has had on Black-owned businesses, the shop has stood firm amid societal changes and is still standing today. It’s now owned and operated by the Deans’ granddaughter Kimberly Brown who is keeping their legacy alive through her work.
“It’s a really – community space, you know?” Brown told NPR. “Even if you don’t come anymore, you still feel welcome. You still come in and hang out in the shop. You don’t have to get your hair done. You can just come and kick it.”
News about Dean’s Beauty Salon and Barber Shop’s National Register of Historic Places honor comes months after the National Park Service awarded over $16 million in grants to preservation projects centered on conserving historic spaces from the civil rights movement.
Kimberly Moreland, a customer of Dean’s Beauty Salon and Barber Shop and president of the Oregon Black Pioneers who penned the book “Image of America: History of African Americans in Portland,” was instrumental in driving the National Register of Historic Places nomination forward.
“When I walked into the salon, it reminded me of the salon I was raised in,” she told The Oregonian. “It was a very precious moment from my childhood. Dean’s felt like home. It was nostalgic—the family photos on the wall, the wonderful conversations. The gentrification and displacement of the Black community in North and Northeast Portland is significant. Black history is being erased. Having a physical landmark in the community is important.”

Time to break the silos: climate stress and child violence go together
Recently, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution recognizing the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment as a human right for all. This follows an earlier resolution adopted in 2020: Rights of the child: realising the rights of the child through a healthy environment.
These resolutions confirm that children’s health and the health of their environment must be protected. Discussions around climate change and child rights mainly suggest health determinants such as air, water, and exposure to toxic substances, however, environmental determinants on child health must also factor in violence against children.
Martina Hibell, Secretary General of Swedish child rights organisation Barnfonden, says the development sector and governments must change the way we work to better recognise the interconnectedness of climate change with other issues, including violence against children. She is drawing attention to the kinds of climate-induced crises that don’t make the headlines, but that slowly encroach on people’s ability to earn an income or to reliably put food on the table. She claims that these ‘invisible disasters’ are putting more and more children on the streets or into risky situations. “We see climate adaptation plans being made and invested in to strengthen communities. What we want to see are plans that work hand-in-hand to strengthen and invest in a coordinated way with child protection.”
She says that governments and development organisations are slowly waking up to the need to prepare communities for the impacts of climate change. But, currently, and with the exception of a humanitarian disaster, climate change sits in one camp; child protection sits in another. Adapting key violence prevention strategies, such as INSPIRE, can be key to shifting this thinking.
To encourage this understanding, Barnfonden has produced a recommendation report on Strategies to end violence against children in a changing climate: 4 actions we can take now to keep children safe in climate-affected communities. Aligned with the Paris agreement and SDG 13 and 16.2, it prompts the understanding that children’s rights to a safe environment will take multi-level efforts – from the communities themselves to governments and international policymakers. The report sends a strong message about the need to break siloed thinking.
Recommendations include:
• The need to acknowledge that climate change is increasing levels of violence against children and to gather the evidence surrounding this;
• The need to strengthening livelihood resilience and work that addresses social norms, while also developing school-based programmes that encourage environmental stewardship and child rights;
• The need to strengthen disaster prevention and response services to recognise the risk of increased violence against children and promote anticipatory action;
• The importance of listening to, engaging with and supporting children and youth in planning and solution-finding to deal with the effects of a changing climate.

Walkers cool off their aching feet in an ice bath during the end-of-march celebration at Nebraska Brewing Company Sunday.
With bruised feet and bandaged knees, about 60 people walked the final miles down 108th Street in La Vista to arrive at a much-deserved celebration Sunday.
In less than 22 hours, the group completed the 50 Mile March: a grueling trek from Lincoln to La Vista to raise money and awareness for mental health issues facing veterans. Through individual fundraising and corporate sponsorships, close to $130,000 was raised for local nonprofits.
Marchers left the State Capitol in Lincoln at 5 p.m. Saturday and walked overnight down U.S. Highway 6 to arrive in La Vista by 3 p.m. Sunday. At the final destination, the Nebraska Brewing Company tap room, a celebration with hundreds of supporters, fresh food, live music and an ice bath for sore feet greeted the marchers.
John Baker, a Vietnam War veteran, maneuvered his electric wheelchair through the crowd to give fist-bumps and high-fives to the participants. He has attended the celebration each year since the marches began in 2020 to show support.
"These people really give it their all," Baker said. "I was holding up a big flag for them as they were coming in."
The marchers and those there to support come from many walks of life. Some are veterans: the Air Force, Navy and Army were all represented at the celebration. Some lost loved ones to suicide. Others were simply compelled by the cause.
Bill Reese, an Army veteran, participated in the march for the first time this year. As he sat down to stretch his sore legs, he said he was feeling "very tired, but very fulfilled."
Like many veterans, Reese knows the importance of mental health care. Seven of his friends committed suicide. And, in 2019, he tried to do the same — three times.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 51 veterans in Nebraska died by suicide in 2019, the most recent year for which data is available. Nebraska's veteran suicide rate of 39.2 per 100,000 people puts the state above the Midwest and national veteran suicide rates: both 31.6 per 100,000.
Though the marchers don't always agree on the concrete policy steps that should be taken to help address the mental health crisis, they tend to agree on one thing: It's a human issue, not a political one.
"I think that the government, whether it's Republicans or Democrats, should get out there and do everything to make sure to take care of veterans," Reese said. "Suicide prevention and anything to do with veterans is not a political issue."
Kris Jones, a former law enforcement officer with multiple veterans in her family, made the trek for the second time. She was in high spirits as she walked through the celebration with untied American flag sneakers.
Like Reese, Jones' personal experience has shaped her view that mental health care for veterans is essential. She questioned why the government hasn't done more to ensure that veterans have places to go when they are in crisis.
"You know, we can send money overseas to Ukraine, but what about investigating the crisis here and putting money into mental health facilities specifically for veterans?" she said.
The money raised will be donated to Guitars for Vets Nebraska, the local chapter of a national organization that promotes healing for veterans through guitar lessons and songwriting, and Moving Veterans Forward, a nonprofit helping find housing for homeless veterans in Nebraska and Iowa.

Grohl used the Gretsch White Falcon guitar in the 1997 video for Monkey Wrench, which was originally owned by the American rock band’s rhythm guitarist Pat Smear.
It was heavily featured on their second album, The Colour And The Shape, which was released the same year.
It is expected to fetch between £15,000 and £30,000 when it is auctioned on September 7 at Wiltshire-based specialist music auctioneers Gardiner Houlgate.
The guitar comes with a Polaroid photograph of Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore playing it, taken by Smear.
“This is a very exciting guitar because it’s one of the few owned by Foo Fighters, arguably the biggest current rock band on the planet, to ever come to public auction,” said auctioneer Luke Hobbs.
Monkey Wrench was the band’s breakout single, as well as the first to feature drummer Taylor Hawkins, who tragically died in March.
“I expect interest from all over the world.” The fact that it appears prominently in the band’s iconic Monkey Wrench video only adds to its appeal among collectors and fans.”
A private collector is selling the White Falcon.
Pat Smear, Grohl’s previous band Nirvana’s on-tour rhythm guitarist, purchased the guitar in 1996.
Smear explained in a written provenance statement that he wanted to own a White Falcon after seeing one played by British new wave band Bow Wow Wow. | https://uknip.co.uk/Breaking/News/breaking/a-guitar-used-by-dave-grohl-in-one-of-the-foo-fighters-early-videos-is-to-go-on-sale/ | 2022-08-22T02:44:10Z | https://uknip.co.uk/Breaking/News/breaking/a-guitar-used-by-dave-grohl-in-one-of-the-foo-fighters-early-videos-is-to-go-on-sale/ | false | 3 |
The leaker of Fortnite’s future events on Twitter suggests Epic Games is now teasing an island collaboration with The Lord of the Rings in Fortnite. Epic Games is seemingly teasing a The Lord of the Rings collaboration coming to Fortnite. Fortnite players discovered the Lord of the Rings-familiar attraction on a third-season island, hinting that a leaked crossover is coming. Fortnite has had a ridiculous number of crossovers come through the game over the years, and fans thought a new easter egg could suggest that the legendary Lord of the Rings series might be next.
Recently, a leaker revealed the potential for bringing a few fascinating franchises into Fortnite in the near future. This time, the game’s Easter egg has started some speculations saying Fortnite would become the crossover title for The Lord of the Rings. If rumors are true, then Fortnite players will find out in just a few days what this upcoming collaboration is all about.
Epic is currently teasing a The Lord of the Rings collaboration on the Island!
The Rock Kid is building this on the beach right now, and there are A LOT of similarities between this sand castle and a LotR castle!

Just as reports surfaced that leaked content from LOTR was being culled by MultiVersus, an easter egg discovered within the game hints at the arrival of Middle-earth characters from Tolkiens world to Fortnite. While Fortnite is still celebrating its crossover with Dragon Ball, a new theory by data miner ShiinaBR points toward a potential collaboration with LOTR. A LOTR crossover on Fortnite almost seems like a sure thing, except for the hazy status of Lord of the Rings licensing, which has seen video game mega-publisher Embracer Group announce recently that they are buying the rights for the Lords of the Rings IP.
RUMOR: One(!) of these collabs will be added to the game next week, according to @MidaRado:
– Doom
– Family Guy
– The Lord of the RingsI don't know which collab it's gonna be, but keep in mind that there's currently a Fall Guys X Doom collab, and the game is now free on Epic. pic.twitter.com/lZzYNzWSqQ

For one thing, LOTR rights traditionally belongs to Warner Bros, who has conspicuously failed to put any new DC characters into Fortnite since they started pushing their own cross-over game, Multiverses. Warner Bros.s own cross-over game, Multiverses. Considering that an in-game teaser of The LOTR already exists, featuring the Sandcastle battle at Helms Deep, it seems that The LOTR is the most likely to make its way into Fortnite very soon.
DOOM and Lord of the Rings are the likeliest franchises to be coming to Fortnite out of the three leaked ones (if Epic Games actually chooses to do it), since there is no information suggesting that Family Guy might come too, aside from a MidaRado post. The biggest surprise is that according to MidaRado, players would get to see a collaboration between Doom, Fall Guy, LOTR, and Destiny on Fortnite. | https://techstory.in/fortnite-could-be-teasing-a-lord-of-the-rings-collaboration/ | 2022-08-22T02:54:01Z | https://techstory.in/fortnite-could-be-teasing-a-lord-of-the-rings-collaboration/ | false | 1 |
