Waiting for fully funded hospital
They say they will save $35 billion so this could easily cover the cost of $1.5 billion for our brand new state-of-the-art fully equipped hospital. Will Bill Tilley or Matthew Guy make this announcement?

Treasure teachers, health workers
Yes, we need plans that have solutions. We need to treasure our teachers and nurses and health care workers and our devoted regional doctors.
As for teachers, parents need to be more supportive of them. As for solutions, we need them for many issues and the NDIS needs to be about outcomes and less of agents making careers out of the situation.
The constant call for where the next piece of funding for any aspect of daily life is impossible to fund.
Aged care needs solutions and family needs to be more involved in support.
In today's society it is all too easy to call for governments and funding to do all things and it is an impossibility to fund all needs.
Family must stand up as well.

Alarm bells ringing over ex-PM
No wonder former prime minister Morrison delayed setting up a federal ICAC.
I'm deeply curious as to who signed off on the coronavirus contracts, valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars, awarded when the virus was at its peak.
Was it the officially appointed Health Minister Hunt, or the self-appointed Secret Minister Morrison? Once we have a federal ICAC I'm not sure praying will extricate our disingenuous former leader from this stink.

Stop blah, blah, blah on climate
Global warming! That is what it is!
Canberra has taken positive steps to lower emissions and there has been measurable decline in temperature.
It's here, and just 340 kilometres away we can see what happens when changes are made.
Have a listen to Will Steffen, just one of the top climatologists who lives and works in Canberra to find out there is hope and it is worth paying attention to how we live for the benefit of our futures.
Time to stop the blah blah blah! Get with the program!

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — KaVontae Turpin became the first player in nine seasons to have kickoff and punt return touchdowns in the same game, and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Los Angeles Chargers 32-18 Saturday night.
Turpin signed with the Cowboys on July 28 after garnering MVP honors in the United States Football League this past spring. Before Turpin, the last player to run back a punt and kickoff in the same game — preseason, regular season or playoffs — was Detroit’s Jeremy Ross on Dec. 8, 2013, against Philadelphia.
“He’s so dynamic. You go back to his college days and clearly, in my opinion, he was the best player I saw in the USFL coming out,” coach Mike McCarthy said of Turpin at halftime. “I’ve been so impressed with him since day one.”
After a 22-yard field goal by Dustin Hopkins gave the Chargers a 3-0 lead midway through the first quarter, Turpin returned the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown.
Turpin got a nice wall of blockers in the middle of the field before getting into open space near the 40 and going untouched up the right sideline.
Dallas had a 29-10 lead at halftime after a pair of touchdowns in the final minute of the second quarter. That included Turpin’s 86-yard punt return, where he eluded a tackle attempt from punt gunner Deane Leonard after fielding the ball, did a couple juke moves and then broke free for the score.
“I’m an exciting player, and every time I get the ball, there’s a big play waiting to happen. I’m happy to be here and take advantage of this opportunity,” said Turpin, who led the USFL in receiving yards and had the league’s lone punt return for a TD.
Victor Bolden of the San Francisco 49ers was the last player to have a kickoff and punt return during the same preseason in 2017.
After two days of joint practices earlier in the week, both teams rested most of their starters. Dallas improved to 1-1 while the Chargers are 0-2.
Cooper Rush and Will Grier each directed first-half TD drives for the Cowboys, while Rico Dowdle and Malik Davis each had rushing scores. Dowdle finished as the game’s leading rusher with 44 yards on 13 carries.
Easton Stick played the first half for the Chargers and connected with Joshua Palmer on a wide receiver screen for an 18-yard touchdown early in the second quarter to give the Chargers a short-lived 10-7 advantage.
INJURIES
Chargers: RB Isaiah Spiller suffered an ankle injury during the second half and did not return.
UP NEXT
Cowboys: Finish the preseason at home against Seattle on Friday.
Chargers: Travel to New Orleans for their preseason finale on Friday.

DP World Sees Profits Soar With Rising Demand for Container Storage
In the last few weeks, shipping and logistics companies have mesmerized the world with record first-half profits. DP World, one of the largest port operators worldwide, is the latest addition to the list.
Against a backdrop of cargo volume growth, DP World recorded a massive jump in profits over the past six months. According to results released on Thursday, DP World’s earnings increased by 52 percent to $721 million in the first six months to June 30, up from $475 million recorded during the same period last year. Buoyed by acquisitions and strong performance of feeder services, revenue grew by 60 percent to $7.9 billion.
DP World’s container revenue per TEU rose by nine percent, driven by higher demand for storage. In total, the company handled 39.5 million TEU across its global container terminals, up slightly from last year.
“This significant growth demonstrates that our strategy to focus on high margin cargo and to offer customized supply chain solutions will provide sustainable returns in the long run,” said Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, DP World’s chairman and chief executive.
However, DP World noted it expects the growth to moderate in the second half of the year, with the near-term outlook uncertain because of the challenging macro-economic environment and port disruptions.
Recent data from Drewry’s World Container Index show that spot rates are continuing to decline, heading towards a market normalization. The Shanghai-Rotterdam rates declined by five percent last week, one of the largest weekly declines seen since June 2020. | https://maritime-executive.com/article/dp-world-sees-profits-soar-with-rising-demand-for-container-storage | 2022-08-22T03:17:12Z | https://maritime-executive.com/article/dp-world-sees-profits-soar-with-rising-demand-for-container-storage | true | 1 |
Savarkar’s narrative likely to play out at Ganesh pandals in Karnataka
Bengaluru, Aug 22: The tussle over Vinayak Damodar Savarkar between the BJP and Congress is likely to play out during the Ganesha Chaturthi celebrations in Belagavi where the festivities are marked with grandeur and patriotism.
The BJP's district unit has decided put up posters of Savarkar at all the pandas throughout the 11 day event which is slated to commence by the end of August.
On Sunday Abhay Patil and Anil Beneke, BJP's legislators from Belagavi city said that the Ganesh mandals will be allowed to display posters of Savarkar who has been credited with re-scripting the narrative of the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny.
Karnataka allows Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations without Covid-19 restrictions
Patil said that no power can stop Savarkar's pictures from being exhibited in Belagavi and those questioning him should read his biographies. Those resisting these efforts will face consequences, he also added.
Beneke said that Savarkar has a close affiliation with Belagavi. He was housed in the Hindalga jail in Belagavi and there is no question of yielding to the opposition. Savarkar was without a doubt one of the greatest freedom fighters, Beneke also added. | https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/savarkars-narrative-likely-to-play-out-at-ganesh-pandals-in-karnataka-3451166.html | 2022-08-22T03:19:44Z | https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/savarkars-narrative-likely-to-play-out-at-ganesh-pandals-in-karnataka-3451166.html | true | 2 |

"People right now would crawl over broken glass for Donald Trump," says Eric Trump
Former U.S. President Donald Trump and son Eric Trump take part in the pro-am prior to the LIV Golf Invitational - Bedminster at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster on July 28, 2022 in Bedminster, New Jersey (Cliff Hawkins/Getty Images)
Eric Trump made an appearance on Newsmax Wednesday evening to sing his dad's praises during a segment of "Eric Bolling The Balance" in which he celebrated his family's "killing" of another legacy.
Speaking to host Eric Bolling, Trump said "Last night my father killed another political dynasty, and that's the Cheneys. He first killed the Bushes, then he killed the Clintons, and last night he killed the Cheneys. He's been rino hunting ever since he got into politics, and last night he was successful again."
In another portion of the interview, Trump painted a picture of how the American public views his family favorably, going so far as to offer to pay for a recent dinner he shared with his wife, Lara, while out at a restaurant.
"Lara and I were at dinner the other night, and there were two tables that started arguing about paying for our bill," Trump said. "It was a little casual place. They wanted to pay for our bill to say sorry for what the country was doing to my father, to our family. People right now would crawl over broken glass for Donald Trump."

Some Asian countries have also moved to legalise gay marriage, with Taiwan as the first in 2019. Thailand also recently approved plans allowing same-sex unions.
Singapore announced on Sunday it will decriminalise sex between men by repealing a colonial-era law while protecting the city-state's traditional norms and its definition of marriage.
During his speech at the annual National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said he believed it is the right thing to do now as most Singaporeans will now accept it.
"Private sexual behaviour between consenting adults does not raise any law and order issue. There is no justification to prosecute people for it nor to make it a crime," Lee said. "This will bring the law into line with current social mores and I hope provide some relief to gay Singaporeans."
Lee vowed the repeal will be limited and not shake Singapore's traditional family and societal norms including how marriage is defined, what children are taught in schools, what is shown on television and general public conduct. He said the government will amend the constitution to ensure that there can be no constitutional challenge to allow same-sex marriage.
"Even as we repeal Section 377A, we will uphold and safeguard the institution of marriage," Lee said. "We have to amend the Constitution to protect it. And we will do so. This will help us repeal Section 377A in a controlled and careful way. Section 377A of the Penal Code was introduced under British colonial rule in the 1930s."
British rule over the island ended in 1963 when Singapore became a state of Malaysia. It became independent two years later but retained the Penal Code, which made sex between men punishable by up to two years in jail. Since 2007 when Parliament last debated whether to repeal Section 377A, its position was to keep the law but not enforce it.
But gay men say the law hangs over their heads and discriminates against them. Thousands of activists annually stage a rally in the city-state known as the Pink Dot" in support of the LGBTQ community.
Lee said he hopes the government's move will help reconcile and accommodate both the concerns of conservative religious groups and the desires of gay Singaporeans to be respected and accepted.
"All groups should exercise restraint, because that is the only way we can move forward as a nation together," he said. "I hope the new balance will enable Singapore to remain a tolerant and inclusive society for many years to come." One of Lee's nephews, Li Huanwu, is gay.
The son of Lee's estranged younger brother Lee Hsien Yang married his partner in South Africa in 2019. Li Huanwu has attended Pink Dot events with his partner and parents. Other former British colonies still retain similar laws that criminalise sex between men, including neighbouring Malaysia where a former deputy premier was jailed twice for sodomy.
He was sentenced in 2000 and again in 2014, in cases that critics say were politically motivated. In 2018, India decriminalised gay sex after its Supreme Court in a historic ruling struck down Section 377 that punished gay sex by up to 10 years in prison.
Some Asian countries have also moved to legalise gay marriage, with Taiwan as the first in 2019. Thailand also recently approved plans allowing same-sex unions.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Columbus teachers voted Sunday night to go on strike, a culmination of five months and 22 negotiations that failed to produce a single contract agreement.
At a meeting at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, the 4,500-member union, Columbus Education Association (CEA), voted to commence a strike after it and the Board of Education could not agree on the terms of its labor contract, setting Ohio’s largest school district up for an unconventional first day Wednesday: Teachers with picket signs and students learning from substitutes and administrators online.
“It is with a full understanding of the sacrifices that students, parents, and teachers will make together to win the schools Columbus Students Deserve that CEA members overwhelmingly rejected the Board’s last, best and final offer tonight and voted to strike,” CEA spokesperson Regina Fuentes said in a statement after Sunday’s vote. “In multiple efforts to negotiate through the media after walking away from the bargaining table, the school board has tried desperately to make this strike about teacher salary, teacher professional development, and teacher leaves.
“Let me be clear. This strike is about our students who deserve a commitment to modern schools with heating and air conditioning, smaller class sizes, and a well-rounded curriculum that includes art, music and P.E.”
Teachers were seen leaving Sunday’s meeting carrying “On Strike” picket signs, some with the slogan “On Strike for the Schools Our Students Deserve.”
According to the union, 94% of members voted to reject the district’s latest offer, with the same percentage voting to strike.
The current teachers’ contract expires at midnight. Teachers will begin picketing at 7 a.m. Monday, with a 9:30 a.m. briefing scheduled.
Following Sunday’s vote, the Columbus City Schools Board of Education called an emergency meeting for Monday at 8 p.m. with the expectation it would immediately enter into a closed executive session to discuss the district’s next steps.
Columbus Education Association spokesperson Regina Fuentes addresses reporters after the union voted to go on strike. You can watch Fuentes’ full statement in the video player above.
In a statement, Columbus School Board of Education President Jennifer Adair said called the union’s vote “incredibly disappointing.”
“School starts on Wednesday, which means our children will be learning online,” Adair said. “We know this is not ideal, but we have an obligation to continue educating and supporting students despite the current circumstances.
“We value and respect our teachers, and we will continue on a path toward collaborative solutions that address what is best for our children,” she added.
Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther, in a statement, urged both sides to return to negotiations.
“The CEA and the school district must return to the table and get our kids back in the classroom,” he said. “A responsible solution is within reach, but only if negotiations restart now.”
Students attending any of the district’s 112 schools, if teachers remain on strike, will see the first day of school through a computer screen, as the board’s “alternative outcomes” plan called for the district’s full-time substitutes to assume the absent teachers’ roles and teach class remotely.
The union vote to strike is the latest in a months-long dispute between the parties, who remain stuck in a stalemate over the terms of the contract – including school building conditions like HVAC, smaller class sizes, full-time art and physical education teachers in elementary schools, and teacher pay – despite holding 22 bargaining sessions since March.
Other sticking points arose over issues like sufficient planning time for teachers, a cap on the number of class periods during the day, and outsourcing positions to for-profit companies. the union said.
After the board delivered what it called a “fair, comprehensive, and respectful” final contract offer on July 28, the union unanimously moved to issue a 10-day strike notice, blasting the final offer as a “take it or leave it deal” that it refused to accept.
About a week later, on Aug. 11, the CEA filed its official intent to strike with the State Employment Relations Board, opening the door for union members to strike on Monday, two days before the first day of school.
The board, with the threat of a strike on the horizon, released its alternative outcomes plan – including remote learning via district-provided Chromebook computers, grab-and-go meals at sites across Columbus, and tech support personnel available for help.
Because teachers make up nearly 60% of the district’s coaching staff and extracurricular advisors, the board said sports and activities will either be rescheduled or canceled.
The union’s decision to strike is historic, as Columbus has not seen its teachers on the picket line since 1975.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The United States and South Korea began their biggest combined military training in years Monday as they heighten their defense posture against the growing North Korean nuclear threat.
The drills could draw an angry response from North Korea, which has pushed its weapons testing activity to a record pace this year while repeatedly threatening conflicts with Seoul and Washington amid a prolonged stalemate in diplomacy.
The Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises will continue through Sept. 1 in South Korea and include field exercises involving aircraft, warships, tanks and potentially tens of thousands of troops.
While Washington and Seoul describe their exercises as defensive, North Korea portrays them as invasion rehearsals that justify its nuclear weapons and missiles development.
Cho Joong-hoon, a spokesperson of South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which handles inter-Korean affairs, said the South hasn’t immediately detected any unusual activities or signs from the North.
The United States and South Korea had canceled some of their regular drills and reduced others to computer simulations in recent years to create space for diplomacy with North Korea and because of COVID-19 concerns.
Ulchi Freedom Shield, which started along with a four-day South Korean civil defense training program led by government employees, will reportedly include simulated joint attacks, front-line reinforcements of arms and fuel, and removals of weapons of mass destruction.
The drills came after North Korea last week dismissed South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s offer to exchange denuclearization steps and economic benefits, accusing Seoul of recycling proposals Pyongyang has long rejected.
Kim Yo Jong, the increasingly powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, described Yoon’s proposal as foolish and stressed that the North has no intentions to barter away an arsenal her brother apparently sees as his strongest guarantee of survival.
She harshly criticized Yoon for continuing military exercises with the U.S. and also for Seoul’s failure to stop South Korean civilian activists from flying anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets and other “dirty waste” across the border by balloon.
She also ridiculed U.S.-South Korean capabilities for monitoring the North’s missile activity, insisting Seoul wrongly identified the launch location of the North’s latest missile tests last Wednesday, hours before Yoon at a news conference urged Pyongyang to return to diplomacy.
Kim Yo Jong earlier this month warned of “deadly” retaliation against South Korea over a recent North Korean COVID-19 outbreak, which Pyongyang dubiously claims was caused by leaflets and other objects floated by southern activists. There are concerns that the threat portends a provocation which might include a nuclear or missile test or even border skirmishes, and that the North may try to raise tensions sometime around the allied drills.
In an interview with Associated Press Television last month, Choe Jin, deputy director of a think tank run by North Korea’s Foreign Ministry, said the United States and South Korea would face “unprecedented” security challenges if they don’t drop their hostile military pressure campaign against North Korea, including joint military drills.
Last week’s launches of two suspected cruise missiles extended a record pace in North Korean missile testing in 2022, which has involved more than 30 ballistic launches, including the country’s first demonstrations of intercontinental ballistic missiles in nearly five years.
North Korea’s heighted testing activity underscores its dual intent to advance its arsenal and force the United States to accept the idea of the North as a nuclear power so it can negotiate economic and security concessions from a position of strength, experts say.
Kim Jong Un could up the ante soon as there are indications that the North is preparing to conduct its first nuclear test since September 2017, when it claimed to have developed a thermonuclear weapon to fit on its ICBMs.

Pecco Bagnaia adds to MotoGP tally in Austria
Lenovo Ducati’s Pecco Bagnaia was the master of the Red Bull Ring - winning his third MotoGP in a row in front of over 90,000 Austrian race fans and closing the gap at the top of the championship to 44 points behind Monster Energy Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo.
Quartararo finished second, with Ducati team-mate Jack Miller completing the rostrum.
From the lights it was a Ducati first four led by Bagnaia from pole-setter Enea Bastianini, Miller and Jorge Martin into turn one, with Quartararo fifth.
Joan Mir, the 2020 World champion, crashed his Ecstar Suzuki at turn four on the opening lap, resulting in fractures to his right ankle.

"Huge question mark" over North West 200 in 2023, warns Mervyn Whyte
By lap six, Bastianini was in the gravel and out of the race.
At the halfway stage it was the three Ducatis of Bagnaia, Miller and Prima Pramac Racing’s Martin out front but Quartararo was on the move and the reigning World champion was closing fast.
On lap 17, Martin ran wide at the new chicane, gifting Quartararo third place.
With four laps to go, a sensational move at turn 2B at the chicane saw Quartararo squeeze his way past Miller up into second.
Miller just held off Martin but the Spaniard crashed out at turn one, leaving Miller a safe third.
By the chequered flag, Quartararo had closed the gap to 0.4s but it wasn’t enough.
“It‘s a shame that I didn‘t do a good first lap,” said Quartararo.” But, anyway, I feel that we got the best result possible for us today.
“I was on 100 per cent risk today over 28 laps.
“But I was super focused.
“I made a few mistakes and lost the front so many times, but my reaction time and concentration were really good today.”
Race winner Bagnaia said: “It was a very long race.
“We chose to use the soft front, but it wasn’t the correct choice for me at the finish of the race, but I’m very happy.
“I made too many mistakes in the first part of the year, so it was the time to be smarter.
“In the last two laps, I just tried to be as calm as possible because the front tyre was closing everywhere.”
In Moto2, Jake Dixon claimed his third podium on the trot for the Gas Gas Aspar Team.
“It was such a crazy race, honestly,” he said. “My heart and determination wasn’t going to let me finish fourth in that race.
“I tried once and it didn’t work but then squared it off into the last corner.
“It was amazing to finish in this position, this is probably one of my worst tracks because I’m not a hard braker - but here we are.”
At the front, it was a case of double celebrations for the Honda Asia as they claimed their first one-two with Ai Ogura and Somkiat Chantra.
Ogura now leads the championship by one point.
After two long lap penalties, Sterilgarda Husqvarna Max’s Ayumu Sasaki claimed a brilliant victory in Moto3.

The Lucid Air is probably my favourite cost-no-object EV right now, with its unique styling, superb driving dynamics and excellent interior design. The top-tier Grand Touring Performance is no slouch either, with over 730 KW and a 0-60 time in the 2.6-second range. Of course, that 0-60 time is slower than Tesla’s significantly cheaper Model S Plaid, and people love to talk shit. So to shut up the haters, Lucid is pulling out all the stops with the Lucid Air Sapphire, which debuted today at Monterey Car Week with three motors, 880 KW, and a claimed 0-60 time of “under 2 seconds.”
Sapphire is a whole new performance-oriented sub-brand for Lucid — like AMG at Mercedes or M at BMW. The Air Sapphire is the first vehicle to wear the badge. But Lucid is not exactly cranking out thousands of cars right now, so why put the considerable effort into launching a performance sub-brand, and why Sapphire?
“Sapphire is the embodiment of what ultra-high-performance luxury means to Lucid,” said Derek Jenkins, senior vice president of brand and design for Lucid, in a statement. “Sapphire is among the most valued gemstones, prized for their brilliance, colour, and hardness. Imperial Blue has long been the de facto national colour for American motorsports teams engaged in international competitions. As Lucid’s dedicated ultra-high-performance brand, Sapphire references this history while setting new standards for innovation and technology.”
OK, so that explains part of it. What, then, does the Sapphire thing mean from a technological perspective? The big item is a third electric motor (one for each rear wheel, plus a third motor driving the front axle), which bumps up total power to approximately 880 KW. The Sapphire also gets great big honkin’ carbon-ceramic brakes as standard, along with stiffer springs and bushings, updated adaptive damper settings, along with retuned settings for ABS, traction control and power steering. Lastly, it gets bigger wheels and tires, going to a Michelin PS4S sized 265/35R-20 at the front and 295/30R-21 at the rear. Serious stuff!
Lucid is also quick to point out in its press release that, unlike some of the competition, the Sapphire will not need any kind of paid upgrades or preconditioning to do its sub-two-second launches. This is obviously a dig at Tesla, which nickel-and-dimes customers via after-purchase over-the-air performance upgrades.
All of this sounds rad, right? I know I’m excited to get some wheel time in it. Of course, that leaves two big questions: how much does it cost, and when will it be available? The answer to the former will require you to take a seat and brace yourself – it’s $US249,000 ($345,662). | https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2022/08/lucid-air-sapphire-is-the-880-kw-answer-to-the-tesla-model-s-plaid/ | 2022-08-22T03:49:41Z | https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2022/08/lucid-air-sapphire-is-the-880-kw-answer-to-the-tesla-model-s-plaid/ | false | 2 |
BEIJING, Aug. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 15th, the first excavator SY315CKD manufactured in SANY's lighthouse factory in Indonesia rolled off the line, an epoch in SANY's intelligent manufacturing and also marking the overseas launch of the first lighthouse factory in the Chinese construction machinery industry.
A better one
Located 70 kilometers away from the capital city of Jakarta, the 10,000-square-meter plant sits in KIM Industrial Park in Indonesia, with a total investment of nearly 30 million USD. Supplying mainly the southeastern Asia market, the planned annual production of this excavator is 3,000 units.
With a high level of standardization, SANY lighthouse factories look almost identical: AGVs shuttle back and forth between production lines and warehouses, and 100 or so human operators and over 500 robots work together in a highly coordinated fashion. Now, online interconnection and autonomy have been realized in 12 major links throughout the production chain, including assembly, logistics and commissioning.
"In the sense of digitization and automation, SANY is the "smartest" construction machinery manufacturer in China," said Ding Shifeng, the project leader. "This factory in Indonesia, drawing experiences from over 40 of its counterparts already built in China, epitomizes the latest R&D achievements. It is the first "Industrial 4.0" production base outside of China in the industry." With a 5:1 ratio of robots to humans, the per-capita output reaches 1.62 million USD, making SANY's latest lighthouse factory deserving of being named "the smartest".
Made and created by SANY
More than a technology export, this factory is also an export of the standard of intelligent manufacturing of China's construction machinery industry.
Compared to SANY's other bases in the US, Germany, India and Pakistan, this lighthouse factory is completely made and created by SANY - from the design, construction and commissioning of the plant and its facilities to its operation and management.
SANY owns the independent intellectual property rights on all the digitized operational software systems applied in the plant, including IMOM and WMS, among others.
"Every piece of data in the industrial software and every bolt in the manufacturing facilities are produced according to SANY's standard," said Shifeng. "This is a first for us, in this industry, to see a "made in China" mark on a standard, not on a product."
10 more to go
Recently, SANY Heavy Industry was listed as one of the "50 smartest companies" by MIT Technology Review, becoming the first among Chinese heavy equipment manufacturers.
"Being smart means to be farsighted, and so we are now refocusing from international sales to international manufacturing, especially intelligent manufacturing," Shifeng added. "Indonesia is a significant test run of establishing a world map of our lighthouse factories, which will include 10 more in the future."
Moreover, SANY will establish a training center affiliated with the factory that will accommodate 600 local trainees.

SPRINGFIELD TWP., Ohio (WKBN) — Springfield Township Fire Department Station 21 held a CPR and First Aid class.
This was the Fire Department’s first CPR and First Aid course. Around 25 teens and adults participated in the class.
The four-hour hands-on class taught residents proper CPR practice. All participants became CPR certified.
“It’s very helpful to have the general public know how to perform those life-saving skills before we get there. It increases the chances of the end game of the call a lot,” said Springfield EMT Noah Hartzler.

Call to halve stamp duty if you fit heat pump
Homebuyers should be given a 50 per cent discount on stamp duty if they agree to install heat pumps, a Conservative think tank has said.
Onward, a centre-right think tank, said that rebates would incentivise people to make homes more energy-efficient at the crucial “moment of change” when they moved. A similar scheme in Finland has helped that country reach one of the highest rates of heat pump sales in Europe.
Heat pumps extract heat from the outside air to provide heating and hot water to homes. They produce about three or four times the energy they use, making them much more efficient than a gas boiler. They are considered an important tool for the UK to meet its commitment to net zero by 2050. | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/call-to-halve-stamp-duty-if-you-fit-heat-pump-xz0qtfk8k | 2022-08-22T04:11:51Z | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/call-to-halve-stamp-duty-if-you-fit-heat-pump-xz0qtfk8k | false | 1 |

Introduction
Lindsey Graham, a senator from South Carolina, has been subpoenaed to appear in front of a grand jury in Georgia that is examining the behavior of former President Donald Trump after the 2020 election.
Graham had argued to a federal court that he was engaged in "legislative conduct" when he twice phoned the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger after the election. Graham's request to have a subpoena quashed was granted by the judge.
In court documents, attorneys working for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis stated that Graham was really phoning to "explore the likelihood of a more favorable conclusion" for Trump. This was the argument made by the attorneys working for Willis.
In an order that she issued on Monday, U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May said that Graham's status as a senator does not provide him immunity from an investigation by the special grand jury in Fulton County.
The Supreme Court
"Individuals on the calls have publicly suggested that Senator Graham was not simply engaged in legislative factfinding but was instead suggesting or implying that Georgia election officials change their processes or otherwise potentially alter the state's results," May wrote.
There are eleven pages in May's ruling that are dedicated to Graham's claim that the Constitution's Speech or Debate clause protects senators from being forced to testify. Graham argues that this provision.
"The Supreme Court has recognized that there are any number of activities a member of Congress might engage in that unquestionably fall outside the scope of protected legislative activity because they are, in fact, 'political in nature rather than legislative,'" May wrote.

Base sees rare earths potential at Toliara
Base Resources boss Tim Carstens says adding a monazite production stream to the company’s $US520 million Toliara mineral sands project in Madagascar could be transformational.
Unveiling the company’s full-year results on Monday, Mr Carstens said a concept study on separating and potential downstream processing of the rare earth was anticipated by the end of the year.
“The sort of volumes we’re talking about can be transformational for the project so watch this space,” he said.
Toliara is considered one of the best and longest life mineral sands projects in the world, but progress on developing it has been slow.
When Base struck a $US75m deal to acquire an initial 85 per cent stake in Toliara in late 2017, it had hoped the project could be brought into production by the middle of 2021.
But following the completion of an enhanced definitive feasibility study for the project in September last year, the company is targeting a final investment decision in September next year with first shipments anticipated by the end of 2025.
Mr Carstens said an agreement with the island nation’s government on fiscal terms for the project was now “agonisingly close”.
The project is expected to deliver annual EBITDA of $US219m over a 38-year mine life.
Toliara would represent the Perth-based company’s second mine in Africa after the company’s foundational mineral sands mine, Kwale, in Kenya.
Base unveiled record $US80.7m full-year profit on Monday on the back of a 41 per cent jump in revenue to $US279.1m after benefiting from higher mineral sands prices and consistent production from Kwale.
The company declared a final unfranked dividend of 3¢ a share, bringing its full-year payout to 6¢.
In June, Base approved the development of its Bumamani project, which would extend the life of Kwale to December 2024. Additional mine life extensions are being explored.
The company issued financial year 2023 guidance of 62,000-73,000t of rutile, 260,000-310,000t of ilmenite and 22,000-27,000t of zircon.
Base shares were up 1¢ to 33¢ at 11am.

How a former banker has helped to transform Tottenham Hotspur’s set pieces
At the end of Tottenham Hotspur’s win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, Dejan Kulusevski wanted to offer one man in particular his congratulations.
It was not Harry Kane that Kulusevski was looking for, despite Kane’s second-half header rescuing a result for Spurs for a second week running, or Ivan Perisic, the 33-year-old Croatian who marked an accomplished full debut by providing a clever assist.
In the changing room under the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Kulusevski sought out Gianni Vio, Antonio Conte’s trusted set-piece guru, who once worked in a UniCredit bank near Venice but now spends his days in Enfield, calculating intricate routines and patterns aimed at unleashing the most dangerous corners and free kicks.

Opinion
Qantas might have baggage but at least it’s not asleep at the wheel
Chris Harrison
Opinion EditorAustralians are travelling again. On occasion our luggage is even coming with us. But far too often, particularly for those flying with Qantas, the humble suitcase believes we’ve let it rip too soon and prefers to continue social distancing, at least from its owner.
I’m as appalled as the next passenger that our penny-pinching national carrier has outsourced so many jobs. And while that’s no excuse, I wasn’t surprised yesterday to read Alan Joyce’s apology to frequent flyers, whom he clearly feared might become less frequent.
But yesterday I also read about an Ethiopian Airlines flight on which the pilots fell asleep, forgot to land and, according to The Aviation Herald, “were woken by an onboard alarm that began blaring when the plane passed the point of descent and the autopilot disconnected”. Good job they didn’t put it on snooze.
It’s happened more than once recently. In April, the captain of a transatlantic flight also allegedly nodded off while at the controls of Italy’s new national carrier, ITA Airways.
Such alarming stories should placate those passengers inconvenienced by their bags going astray. Commercial aviation has become a mundane miracle, and it’s a compliment to the industry that passengers complain about flight delays and lost luggage.
Airlines rarely make the news for good reasons. Like banks and telcos, we trash them whenever possible. And while they are all worthy of criticism on occasion – particularly when profits are prioritised at the expense of service – I can’t help thinking we are often too quick to condemn those magnificent men and women in their flying machines.
I was flying from Singapore to Sydney when the captain announced a 40-minute delay. This otherwise unremarkable man with stripes on his shoulders was transporting several hundred souls in a class-conscious rocket across oceans and deserts, yet when he announced a minor delay we groaned in unison. We may have been shoved in like sardines, but there was still enough legroom for a knee-jerk reaction.
When we’re jet-lagged, flatulent and fed up with polystyrene food, we sometimes forget the operational intricacies of flying people around the planet. Given the enormity of the task, something will invariably impinge on the perfect trip from A to B – if not a delay, then a seat that won’t recline, a dodgy headset, a leaky loo…
And if you think things are bad in Australia, try flying around Europe’s crowded skies. I once checked in with Alitalia in Rome and the clerk asked straight out: “Are you absolutely sure you want to check in your luggage? We’ve been losing quite a lot lately.” Any wonder they went bust?
On a Ryanair flight from London Stansted, I was sitting in the front row (which on any other airline might sound glamorous) when we pushed back from the gate right on time. But surprise turned to alarm when the passenger beside me pointed out the window and shouted: “Stop! The stairs are still attached!”
Cabin crew banged frantically on the cockpit door and the pilots hit the brakes thinking bin Laden was onboard. The forward door was heaved open, the aerobridge pushed clear, and we started over as though nothing had happened. Which it hadn’t. No one even filled out a form.
Waiting at the baggage carousel of some European airports inspires more fear than actually flying there. On one occasion the relief at seeing my suitcase on the rubber serpent turned to horror as I realised the lock was smashed, the case was open and only held together by an improvised combination of sticky tape and occy straps. Closer inspection revealed other people’s personal effects among my own, including a harmonica and a fedora. Had I shared a flight with Bob Dylan?
Some airlines think of everything to counter the potential for fear of flying. Others don’t. I once booked a trip from London to Palermo, paid online, printed my e-ticket and noted my booking reference number was Z75DIE. I am surely the only passenger in the history of aviation to be spooked by his receipt.
On another flight, during take-off from Rome my view was obscured by a spider in my window, clinging to its web, waiting on a passing insect and possibly counting its Frequent Flyer points. Aeroplane windows are airtight for a reason! With the Vatican passing beneath us, it felt like the right time to pray.
The unholy mess at Qantas has damaged the brand and the airline has much to do before passengers hold it in high regard again. Apologies, flight vouchers and lounge invitations are no replacement for cancelled flights and lost luggage. But after winging it in European skies for so long, I still believe Australia’s aviation industry is the safest in the sky and on the ground, and I thank my lucky Jetstars each time I fly here.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tuesday's primary elections feature two top Florida Democrats squaring off for the chance to face Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, a rising conservative star frequently mentioned as a top alternative to Donald Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential contest.
In New York, redistricting has left two longtime House Democratic colleagues competing for the same seat, while the head of the party's campaign arm in the chamber is running in new territory and faces a challenge from the left.
Oklahoma Republicans will choose between two Trump loyalists competing in a runoff to be their party's nominee to finish the term of retiring GOP Sen. Jim Inhofe. The 87-year-old is stepping down at the end of the year, with more than four years left in his term.

Once the nation's largest swing state, Florida has trended more Republican in recent years. Trump won it twice, and the GOP’s domination of the Legislature has given DeSantis a national platform to carry out a brash brand of culture war politics that's delighted big GOP donors and sparked speculation he'll run for president.
State Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried and U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, who was once governor himself as a Republican, are vying for the Democratic nomination to compete against DeSantis in November. Fried, the only statewide-elected Democrat, has sought to portray Crist as a Democrat in name only. She's highlighted Crist's former anti-abortion stance and his appointment of conservative state Supreme Court justices. Crist has dismissed Fried's criticisms as last-ditch efforts to counter his stouter fundraising and high-profile endorsements.
In the U.S. Senate race, Tuesday's primary is expected to cement a general election matchup between incumbent Republican Marco Rubio and Democratic congresswoman Val Demings, who is giving up her Orlando-based seat.
Meanwhile, hotly contested primaries stem from the departure of four House members, the acquisition of a new congressional district thanks to Florida's booming population, and new maps drawn by DeSantis' office that could boost Republicans even further.
One of the House's most controversial members, Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, is facing a strong primary challenge from Mark Lombardo, a former Marine and former FedEx executive who has run a series of ads attacking Gaetz for being under federal investigation in a sex trafficking case. Gaetz has not been charged and denies wrongdoing.
Running for the Democratic nomination for Gaetz's seat is Rebekah Jones, a former Department of Health employee who received national attention after she questioned the state's COVID-19 dashboard and claimed Florida wasn't reporting accurate numbers — an allegation that an inspector general's report said was unfounded. Jones is facing Peggy Schiller, a local Democratic Party activist.
NEW YORK
New York is holding its second round of primary elections after voting in June for statewide races. Tuesday will cover the state's 26 U.S. House seats, a delayed date after a judge ordered a redrawing of political maps.
The new congressional districts have caused Democratic consternation, especially a new Manhattan-area seat that has turned two incumbents into rivals. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who has represented New York City's Upper East Side for three decades, is facing Rep. Jerry Nadler, who has represented the Upper West Side for just as long.
Maloney, 76, and Nadler, 75, each chair powerful committees. Running in the same primary is Suraj Patel, a 38-year-old attorney who says it's time for a new generation of leaders.
Nadler has been endorsed by The New York Times and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. But turnout could be low since many district residents have left for summer vacations, especially wealthy voters who have second homes elsewhere, making predicting the winner difficult.
Unpredictable turnout could also decide a primary in an ultraliberal district in southern Manhattan and Brooklyn. Competing there is progressive Rep. Mondaire Jones, who represents a Hudson Valley seat but is running further south to avoid another incumbent-on-incumbent challenge.
Other candidates for the seat include Assembly member Yuh-Line Niou, New York City Councilwoman Carlina Rivera and former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman. Also running is Daniel Goldman, the former federal prosecutor who served as counsel to House Democrats in Trump's first impeachment inquiry.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, who heads the House Democratic campaign organization, is running in a new suburban district north of New York City. He swapped districts without consulting Jones, who currently represents most of the area. The move rankled the left and led state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi to challenge him for the seat.
A top Republican primary race is unfolding near Buffalo, where Republican Rep. Chris Jacobs opted not to seek reelection after facing backlash for voicing support for gun safety measures following a racist mass shooting in his district last May. New York Republican Party Chair Nick Langworthy and businessman Carl Paladino are running to replace him.
Paladino is a former gubernatorial candidate with a long history of offensive comments, including his suggestion that Adolf Hitler was "the kind of leader we need today" because of his ability to rally crowds. More recently, he said in a radio interview that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland "should be executed" for authorizing a search of Trump's home. He said later in the show that he was being facetious.
OKLAHOMA
Two Trump supporters are competing in the GOP primary runoff for the remainder of Inhofe's term, which expires in January 2027.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin, a plumbing company owner who won his eastern Oklahoma House seat in 2012, finished atop a 13-candidate GOP field in June but came up short of the 50% threshold he needed to clinch the primary outright. He was endorsed by Trump, but only after finishing first in the primary.
Mullin faces former Oklahoma Speaker of the House T.W. Shannon, a bank executive who ran unsuccessfully for an open U.S. Senate seat in 2014. The winner will be heavily favored in November against former Democratic Rep. Kendra Horn.
In a state where nearly 10% of the population identifies as American Indian, both Mullin and Shannon are members of Native American tribes. Mullin is a Cherokee citizen, and Shannon, who is also African American, is a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation.
In Oklahoma's other Senate race, Jason Bollinger, an Oklahoma City attorney, and Madison Horn, a cybersecurity expert, are competing in the Democratic primary runoff to face incumbent Republican Sen. James Lankford in November. Lankford will be the strong favorite in November.
Mullin’s Senate bid left open House seat that drew 14 GOP challengers. Former state Sen. Josh Brecheen and current state lawmaker Avery Frix advanced to a runoff.

It's that time of year again, when NFL players cast their votes to identify the best in the league heading into the 2022 NFL season. Check out the results of this year's voting to see where your favorite players rank.
The former AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year has been a solid presence on the Chargers’ defense for over six years now, and 2021 was no different. After missing a bit of time in 2020 due to injuries, Bosa started 16 games and was all over the place disrupting opposing offenses, recording a career-high seven forced fumbles and 10.5 sacks. His efforts earned him a fourth Pro Bowl nod, joining Hall of Famer Junior Seau as the only Chargers named to four Pro Bowls in their first five seasons.
Wagner is an all-time Seahawks great and was one of the last players remaining on the roster from Seattle's 2013 Super Bowl victory. At age 32, Wagner is still a top player at his position and has continued to produce consistently great seasons even as he gets into the later stages of his career. 2021 was his 10th season, and Wagner celebrated a decade in the league by racking up a career-high 170 tackles (his 10th straight season with at least 100 tackles) and earning his eighth straight Pro Bowl nod, an incredible feat. Wagner’s consistency was rewarded in the offseason when he signed a five-year, $50 million deal to join the rival Rams.
Offensive linemen don't always get the flashy stats, but nevertheless Nelson has made a name for himself in only four years in the league. He’s been named first-team All-Pro three times and earned his fourth Pro Bowl nod in 2021 because he’s just a wall on the offensive line. Nelson played 767 snaps in 2021 and gave up just one sack the entire season. Over his career, which has consisted of 4,029 snaps over four years, he’s given up just four sacks. Those numbers are just insane. You can already put Nelson in the conversation as one of the best guards in the history of the Colts. At the very least, those numbers give him the No. 28 spot on this list as the highest-ranked guard in the league this year.
After a dozen fruitless years with the Lions, Stafford made the move to Los Angeles in 2021 to join the Rams, a decision that obviously paid off. Stafford led the Rams to their first Super Bowl win since 1999, and their first victory while in Los Angeles. During that campaign, Stafford recorded the third-most passing yards in the league with 4,886, and led the Rams to a 12-5 record and wins over Kyler Murray, Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo and Joe Burrow in the postseason on the way to the ultimate victory. For all that, of course he’s this high on the list.
Since coming to Buffalo two years ago, Diggs has established himself as the No. 1 receiver on the Bills, the favorite target of Josh Allen and one of the best receivers in the game. He led the NFL in 2020 in receptions (127) and receiving yards (1,535), and in 2021, he was close to those numbers with 1,225 yards on 103 catches. Both years he was named to the Pro Bowl. Diggs can play at all three levels and against any coverage, making him difficult for defenses to contend with without leaving other players open. The Bills recognized Diggs’ talent and rewarded him this offseason with a four-year, $96 million contract extension that’ll keep him in Buffalo through 2027.
Bosa started his career by winning AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2019, but couldn’t follow up that with a strong sophomore campaign because of a torn ACL suffered in Week 2 of the 2020 season. But third time’s the charm, because in Bosa’s third year, he came back strong and exceeded his production from his first season. Starting all 20 games during San Francisco's run to the NFC title game, Bosa broke his career-high in sacks with 15.5 (fourth in the league) -- adding four more in the playoffs -- and tied AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt for the most tackles for loss in the NFL (21). With Bosa only three years into his career, it’ll be interesting to see how high he can climb up the Top 100 in the coming seasons.
Quite simply, in 2021, Chase was one of the best rookie wide receivers in history. His first year was a revelation, a No. 5 overall pick well spent by Cincinnati. In addition to playing a big role in the Bengals' run to the Super Bowl, Chase broke multiple records, including Cincy's marks for most receiving yards in a game (266) and most receiving yards in a season (1,455). He also smashed the NFL’s rookie receiver records, collecting the most receiving yards by a rookie in a game, in a postseason (368), and in a season overall. His 1,455 receiving yards were also fourth in the league amongst all players. Needless to say, Chase was awarded with a Pro Bowl nod and AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors at season’s end. What else could you do when he’s playing at the level of some of the best veterans in his first year as a pro?
Quite simply, Diggs is this high on the list because in a league where teams often thrive in the passing game, he is a player that is well-equipped to stop it in its tracks. Diggs is only in his second season with the Cowboys, but the young stud is already making a name for himself as one of the best cornerbacks in the game. He recorded 11 interceptions and two defensive touchdowns last season, both best in the league, and the first of those statistics is what really makes him special. The last time any player had at least 11 interceptions was in 1981, making Diggs’ performance in 2021 truly once in a generation.
For five years, Kittle has been a consistent leadership presence in the 49ers' locker room and continues to put out quality seasons on the field, as well. Kittle was the third-best player at his position in 2021, according to Pro Football Focus, and in addition to his usual dominance as a blocking tight end, Kittle also recorded the fourth-most receiving yards by a tight end in 2021 with 910. That all-around talent and leadership is definitely worth his No. 22 ranking and fourth consecutive appearance on this list.
Burrow took his team further in 2021 than Cincinnati had been in over 30 years, and it was just his second season. With Burrow taking snaps, the Bengals won their first playoff game since the 1990 season, and then made it all the way to their first Super Bowl since the 1988 campaign. He outdueled Derek Carr and the Raiders, Ryan Tannehill and the Titans, and finally Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in overtime to make it to the big game. Along the way, he posted the second-highest passer rating in the NFL at 108.3, trailing only Aaron Rodgers. This finish was made all the more impressive considering he was coming back from significant knee surgery after the 2020 season, a feat which earned him the AP Comeback Player of the Year award for 2021. | https://www.nfl.com/news/top-100-players-of-2022-nos-30-21-bosa-diggs-brothers-near-the-top-of-list | 2022-08-22T04:31:36Z | https://www.nfl.com/news/top-100-players-of-2022-nos-30-21-bosa-diggs-brothers-near-the-top-of-list | false | 1 |

Monday Aug 22, 2022
PTI Chairman Imran Khan has decided to seek immunity against his arrest in a terror case filed against him Sunday night, by filing a pre-arrest bail plea in the Islamabad High Court.
PTI lawyer Faisal Chaudhry said that the party's legal team will file the plea in IHC on Khan's behalf.
A first information report (FIR) was registered against former prime minister Khan under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) for threatening an additional sessions judge and senior police officers of the Islamabad Police at a rally in the federal capital’s F-9 Park.
Interior ministry seeks permission for arrest from PM
Meanwhile, the interior ministry has asked written permission from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's office to arrest Khan following the registration of the case.
According to sources, the PTI chairman has left his Bani Gala residence to avoid arrest. It is being reported that he may have left for Lahore or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
However, PTI leader Faisal Vawda said that Khan is still at Bani Gala.
According to The News, the interior ministry has sought written permission from PM Office for the arrest of the PTI chair. Sources said the arrest will be made with the consensus of all parties in the ruling alliance.
Meanwhile, PPP leader and former president Asif Ali Zardari has opposed the arrest of Imran Khan. He believes that the arrest will cause political damage to the ruling alliance.
On the other hand, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) President Maulana Fazlur Rehman did not give a clear viewpoint on Imran Khan’s arrest as PTI leader Murad Saeed claimed on Sunday night that the arrest warrants for Imran Khan had been issued.
Additional police force has been deployed outside Imran Khan's Bani Gala residence and the road leading to his residence has also been closed for unauthorised people, allowing only people close to him and the residents of the area to enter, sources told Geo News hours after the registration of the case.
According to the The News , it is not yet decided whether Imran Khan would be arrested or put under house arrest, sources engaged in sketching the strategy of the operation told The News.
“Negotiations with Imran Khan are under way, as the PTI leader wants to avoid arrest or house arrest,” added the sources, saying that the authorities have multiple plans to handle the situation with the help of law-enforcement agencies, but were waiting for a green signal from the quarters concerned.
“Imran Khan is seeking the facility to approach the higher judiciary for obtaining relief, but he will have to surrender before the police as the first step,” the sources added.
The FIR registered against Khan states that he threatened Additional Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry and police officers at a rally in F-9 Park to “terrorise” police officials and judiciary. The main aim of the intimidation was to prevent the police officers and judiciary from carrying out their legal obligations, says the FIR.
The FIR was registered on the complaint of Magistrate Ali Javed in Islamabad's Margalla Police Station under Section 7 of ATA.
The FIR states that the PTI chairman threatened Additional Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry and police officers at a rally in F-9 Park to “terrorise” police officials and judiciary.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mounds of paper piled on his desk. Framed magazine covers and keepsakes lining the walls. One of Shaquille O’Neal's giant sneakers displayed alongside football helmets, boxing belts and other sports memorabilia, crowding his Trump Tower office and limiting table space.
Well before he entered politics, former President Donald Trump had a penchant for collecting. And that lifelong habit — combined with his flip disregard for the rules of government record keeping, his careless handling of classified information, and a chaotic transition borne from his refusal to accept defeat in 2020 — have all culminated in a federal investigation that poses extraordinary legal and political challenges.
The search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago club earlier this month to retrieve documents from his White House years was an unprecedented law enforcement action against a former president who is widely expected to run for office once again. Officials have not revealed exactly what was contained in the boxes, but the FBI has said it recovered 11 sets of classified records, including some marked “sensitive compartmented information,” a special category meant to protect secrets that could cause “exceptionally grave” damage to U.S. interests if revealed publicly.
Why Trump refused to turn over the seized documents despite repeated requests remains unclear. But Trump’s flouting of the Presidential Records Act, which outlines how materials should be preserved, was well documented throughout his time in office.
He routinely tore up official papers that later had to be taped back together. Official items that would traditionally be turned over to the National Archives became intermingled with his personal belongings in the White House residence. Classified information was tweeted, shared with reporters and adversaries — even found in a White House complex bathroom.
John Bolton, who served as Trump’s third national security adviser, said that, before he arrived, he'd heard "there was a concern in the air about how he handled information. And as my time went on, I could certainly see why.”
Others in the Trump administration took more care with sensitive documents. Asked directly if he kept any classified information upon leaving office, former Vice President Mike Pence told The Associated Press on Friday, “No, not to my knowledge.”
The investigation into Trump's handling of documents comes as he's facing mounting legal scrutiny on multiple fronts. A Georgia investigation into election interference has moved closer to the former president, with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a top defender, informed earlier this month that he is a target of a criminal probe.
Meanwhile, Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination as he testified under oath in the New York attorney general’s long-running civil investigation into his business dealings. A top executive at the business pleaded guilty last week in a tax fraud case brought by the Manhattan district attorney.
But few legal threats have galvanized Trump and his most loyal supporters like the Mar-a-Lago search. The former president and his allies have argued the move amounts to political persecution, noting the judge who approved the warrant has given money to Democrats. The judge, however, has also supported Republicans. And White House officials have repeatedly said they had no prior knowledge of plans to search the estate.
Trump allies have tried to claim the presidency granted him unlimited power to unilaterally declassify documents without formal declaration. But David Laufman, the former chief of the Justice Department’s counterintelligence section, said that's not how it works.
“It just strikes me as a post hoc public affairs strategy that has no relationship to how classified information is in fact declassified," said Laufman, who oversaw the investigation into Hillary Clinton's personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state. While he said it is true that there is no statue or order that outlines procedures the president must abide by to declassify information, “at the same time it's ludicrous to posit that a decision to declassify documents would not have been contemporaneously memorialized in writing.”
It's "not self executing," he added. "There has to be some objective, contemporaneous, evidence-based corroboration of the claims that they're making. And of course there won't be because they’re making it all up."
The decision to keep classified documents at Mar-a-Lago — a property frequented by paying members, their guests and anyone attending the weddings, political fundraisers, charity dinners and other events held on site — was part of a long pattern of disregard for national security secrets. Former aides described a “cavalier” attitude toward classified information that played out in public view.
There was the dinner with then-Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Mar-a-Lago's patio, where fellow diners watched and snapped cellphone photos as the two men reviewed details of a North Korean missile test.
There was the time Trump revealed highly classified information allegedly from Israeli sources about Islamic State militants to Russian officials. And there was the time he tweeted a high-resolution satellite image of an apparent explosion at an Iranian space center, which intelligence officials had warned was highly sensitive. Trump insisted he had “the absolute right" to share it.
Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Trump was “careless” with sensitive and classified information and “seemed never to bother with why that was bad.”
Grisham recalled one incident involving Conan, a U.S. military dog hailed as a hero for his role in the raid that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. She said that before the dog's arrival at the White House, staff had received a briefing in which they were told the dog could not be photographed because the images could put his handlers in danger. But when the dog arrived, Trump decided he wanted to show it off to the press.
“Because he wanted the publicity, out went Conan," she said. “It's an example of him not caring if he put lives in danger. ... It was like its his own shiny toy he’s showing off to his friends to impress them."
Bolton said that, during his time working for Trump, he and others often tried to explain the stakes and the risks of exposing sources and methods.
“I don’t think any of it sank in. He didn’t seem to appreciate just how sensitive it was, how dangerous it was for some of our people and the risks that they could be exposed to," he said. "What looks like an innocuous picture to a private citizen can be a gold mine to a foreign intelligence" entity.
“I would say over and over again, ‘This is really sensitive, really sensitive.’ And he’d say, ‘I know’ and then go and do it anyway.”
Bolton said that top intelligence officials would gather before briefings to discuss how best to handle sensitive subjects, strategizing about how much needed to be shared. Briefers quickly learned that Trump often tried to hang onto sensitive documents, and would take steps to make sure documents didn't go missing, including using iPads to show them to him.
“Sometimes he would ask to keep it and they'd say, ‘It’s really sensitive.' Sometime he just wouldn’t give it back.”
Trump’s refusal to accept his election loss also contributed to the chaos that engulfed his final days in office. The General Services Administration was slow to acknowledge President Joe Biden’s win, delaying the transition process and leaving little time to pack.
While other White House staff and even the former first lady started making arrangements, Trump largely refused. At the same time, White House staff were departing in droves as part of the regular “offboarding process,” while morale among others had cratered in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Bolton said he doubted that Trump had taken documents for nefarious reasons, and instead thought Trump likely considered them “souvenirs” like the many he’d collected through his life.
“I think he just thought some things were cool and he wanted them,” Bolton said. “Some days he liked to collect french fries. Some days he liked to collect documents. He just collected things.”
The Washington Post first reported in February that the National Archives had retrieved 15 boxes of documents and other items from Mar-a-Lago that should have been turned over to the agency when Trump left the White House. An initial review of that material concluded that Trump had brought presidential records and several other documents that were marked classified to Mar-a-Lago.
The investigation into the handling of classified material intensified in the spring as prosecutors and federal agents interviewed several people who worked in the Trump White House about how records — and particularly classified documents — were handled during the chaotic end of the Trump presidency, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. Around the same time, prosecutors also issued a subpoena for records Trump was keeping at Mar-a-Lago and subpoenaed for surveillance video from Mar-a-Lago showing the area where the records were being stored, the person said.
A top Justice Department official traveled to Mar-a-Lago in early June and looked through some of the material that was stored in boxes. After that meeting, prosecutors interviewed another witness who told them that there were likely additional classified documents still stored at Mar-a-Lago, the person said. The person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Justice Department later sought a search warrant and retrieved the additional tranches of classified records.

The acquisition will expand RJ Young's offerings into Virginia

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and cancelled his planned international travel while he isolates and recovers.
The Japanese leader developed a slight fever and cough late on Saturday and a PCR test for the coronavirus was positive, said Noriyuki Shikata, the cabinet secretary for public affairs at the prime minister’s office.
“Prime Minister Kishida is isolated inside his residence,” he told The Associated Press on Sunday.
The 65-year-old prime minister was on summer vacation last week and was scheduled to return to work on Monday. It is not clear where or how he was infected.
Mr Kishida will not go in person to a conference on African development later this month in Tunisia but will participate online. He has also postponed a trip to the Middle East.
Cases of coronavirus infections have been surging recently in Japan, although most people — including Mr Kishida — have been vaccinated. Other world leaders including Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President Joe Biden have been diagnosed with Covid-19 and recovered. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4692358/japan-pm-fumio-kishida-cancels-overseas-trips-after-testing-positive-to-covid-19/ | 2022-08-22T05:08:27Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4692358/japan-pm-fumio-kishida-cancels-overseas-trips-after-testing-positive-to-covid-19/ | true | 14 |
Cardi B in online skirmish with MMA fighter Jake Shields after he calls her a bad example for kids
- Shields, 43, was critical of influencer/former kickboxer Andrew Tate's banning from multiple social media platforms
- Meta said Tate, 35, was banned over hate speech policy violations
- TikTok said that Tate's account was permanently banned due to misogynistic remarks
- Shields said Cardi B and the Kardashians are poor role models for kids
- He said the artist encouraged drug use and promiscuity in her work
- Cardi B replied she's married, doesn't use drugs and does 'a lot of charity work'
Cardi B on Saturday responded to criticism from MMA fighter Jake Shields after he criticized her as a bad example for kids.
Shields, 43, brought up name of the 29-year-old musical superstar as he was critical of the banning of influencer/former kickboxer Andrew Tate, 35, from multiple social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
Meta, which owns both Instagram and Facebook, told NPR that Tate had violated hate speech policy, while TikTok told the outlet that Tate's account was permanently banned due to misogynistic remarks.
Back and forth: Cardi B, 29, on Saturday responded to criticism from MMA fighter Jake Shields after he criticized her as a bad example for kids. She was pictured last year in LA
A TikTok spokesperson told NPR, 'Misogyny is a hateful ideology that is not tolerated on TikTok.
'Our investigation into this content is ongoing, as we continue to remove violative accounts and videos, and pursue measures to strengthen our enforcement, including our detection models, against this type of content.'
Tate had been banned from Twitter in 2017 after remarks that rape victims 'bear responsibility,' and that women belong at home, Buzzfeed reported.
Cardi B's name was mentioned by Shields in a tweet as he wrote, 'People are freaking out about young boys looking up to Andrew Tate but totally fine with young girls looking up to Cardi B and the Kardashians.
Shields said that Cardi B and the Kardashians were poor role models for youth after influencer Andrew Tate was banned from Facebook, Instagram and TikTok
Cardi B had responded to criticism from Shields over her place as a role model
'Tate’s main message is stop being lazy and making excuses and go work hard and get in shape and make money. Cardi’s is go do drugs, f*** random men and go through life as a brain dead moron.'
The I Like It artist, 29, defended herself, writing, 'I'm married, I don't smoke weed, I don't pop pills, I don't do coke.'
The Bodak Yellow artist, who is mother to children Kulture, four, and Wave, 11 months, added, 'I'm a mom of 2 kids and I do a lot of charity work…but hey let me put cardi into it to defend a man who defend misogyny and rape.'
The New York native, whose full name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, appeared to delete her tweet following the exchange.
Cardi B in 2020 donated $1 million donation toward coronavirus relief, and also funded the purchase of 20,000 meals toward frontline workers in New York. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11133195/Cardi-B-online-skirmish-MMA-fighter-Jake-Shields-calls-bad-example-kids.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-22T05:15:17Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11133195/Cardi-B-online-skirmish-MMA-fighter-Jake-Shields-calls-bad-example-kids.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 2 |
Police file terrorism charges against Pakistan's Imran Khan
Pakistani police have filed terrorism charges against former Prime Minister Imran Khan, escalating political tensions in the country as he holds mass rallies seeking to return to office
Police file terrorism charges against Pakistan's Imran Khan
Show all 2Pakistani police have filed terrorism charges against former Prime Minister Imran Khan, authorities said Monday, escalating political tensions in the country as he holds mass rallies seeking to return to office.
The terrorism charges come over a speech Khan gave in Islamabad in which he vowed to sue police officers and a female judge and alleged that a close aide had been tortured after his arrest.
Khan himself appeared to still be free and had not immediately addressed the police charge sheet being lodged against him. Pakistan's opposition Tehreek-e-Insaf party, Khan's political party, published online videos showing supporters surrounding his home to potentially stop police from reaching it. Hundreds remained there early Monday.
Khan came to power in 2018, promising to break the pattern of family rule in Pakistan. His opponents contend he was elected with help from the powerful military, which has ruled the country for half of its 75-year history.
In seeking Khan’s ouster earlier this year, the opposition had accused him of economic mismanagement as inflation soars and the Pakistani rupee plummets in value. The parliament's no-confidence vote in April capped months of political turmoil and a constitutional crisis that required the Supreme Court to step in. Meanwhile, it appeared the military similarly had cooled to Khan.
Khan alleged without providing evidence that the Pakistani military took part in a U.S. plot to oust him. Washington, the Pakistani military and the government of Khan’s successor, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, all have denied that. Khan also has been carrying out a series of mass rallies trying to pressure Sharif's government.
On Sunday, the internet-access advocacy group NetBlocks said internet services in the country blocked access to YouTube after Khan broadcast a live speech on the platform despite a ban issued by the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority.
Police arrested Khan's political aide, Shahbaz Gill, earlier this month after he appeared on the private television channel ARY TV and urged soldiers and officers to refuse to obey “illegal orders” from the military leadership. Gill was charged with treason, which under Pakistani law carries the death penalty. ARY also remains off-air in Pakistan following the broadcast.

HYDERABAD: The father said he is apprehensive about continuing with the IRCS centre, Nallakunta. It is a traumatic experience to start all over again and trust doctors after what happened, he said
A month after his child tested positive for HIV, allegedly following a blood transfusion session at an Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) centre, father of the three-year-old said he is now scouting for a new facility for his thalassaemia treatment. Speaking to TOI, the father said he is apprehensive about continuing with the IRCS centre at Nallakunta for fear of further complications in the future.
“After filing the complaint, we had taken one more transfusion at the centre. However, now we don’t want to continue there because of the fear that some other thing might go wrong with his treatment,” said the father. They are now approaching other centres to plan the treatment. “Most of the centres are very far from our place. However, we are planning to go to some place where all these tests can be done again.
It is a traumatic experience to start all over again and trust the doctors after what happened,” he added. Currently, there are only three to four free/subsidised thalassemia treatment centres in the city and all of them are located in the outskirts of the city. The Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Society, for instance, is located in Shankarpally. There are no government run facilities either, leaving Niloufer and Gandhi Hospitals no choice but to refer these patients to one of the private societies.
“My son’s health is not the same as before as he is frequently suffering from cough and fever. With HIV added to the treatment plan we are spending half the month in hospitals,” the father said. When contacted, IRCS officials maintained that they are offering all possible help to the family. “We are conducting investigations into the issue and simultaneously offering all the help that they need. Even during the last visit, we counselled them about the condition,” said an official from IRCS.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tuesday's primary elections feature two top Florida Democrats squaring off for the chance to face Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, a rising conservative star frequently mentioned as a top alternative to Donald Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential contest.
In New York, redistricting has left two longtime House Democratic colleagues competing for the same seat, while the head of the party's campaign arm in the chamber is running in new territory and faces a challenge from the left.
Oklahoma Republicans will choose between two Trump loyalists competing in a runoff to be their party's nominee to finish the term of retiring GOP Sen. Jim Inhofe. The 87-year-old is stepping down at the end of the year, with more than four years left in his term.
What to watch:
FLORIDA
Once the nation's largest swing state, Florida has trended more Republican in recent years. Trump won it twice, and the GOP’s domination of the Legislature has given DeSantis a national platform to carry out a brash brand of culture war politics that's delighted big GOP donors and sparked speculation he'll run for president.
State Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried and U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, who was once governor himself as a Republican, are vying for the Democratic nomination to compete against DeSantis in November. Fried, the only statewide-elected Democrat, has sought to portray Crist as a Democrat in name only. She's highlighted Crist's former anti-abortion stance and his appointment of conservative state Supreme Court justices. Crist has dismissed Fried’s criticisms as last-ditch efforts to counter his stouter fundraising and high-profile endorsements.
In the U.S. Senate race, Tuesday's primary is expected to cement a general election matchup between incumbent Republican Marco Rubio and Democratic congresswoman Val Demings, who is giving up her Orlando-based seat.
Meanwhile, hotly contested primaries stem from the departure of four House members, the acquisition of a new congressional district thanks to Florida's booming population, and new maps drawn by DeSantis' office that could boost Republicans even further.
One of the House's most controversial members, Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, is facing a strong primary challenge from Mark Lombardo, a former Marine and former FedEx executive who has run a series of ads attacking Gaetz for being under federal investigation in a sex trafficking case. Gaetz has not been charged and denies wrongdoing.
Running for the Democratic nomination for Gaetz's seat is Rebekah Jones, a former Department of Health employee who received national attention after she questioned the state’s COVID-19 dashboard and claimed Florida wasn’t reporting accurate numbers — an allegation that an inspector general’s report said was unfounded. Jones is facing Peggy Schiller, a local Democratic Party activist.
NEW YORK
New York is holding its second round of primary elections after voting in June for statewide races. Tuesday will cover the state's 26 U.S. House seats, a delayed date after a judge ordered a redrawing of political maps.
The new congressional districts have caused Democratic consternation, especially a new Manhattan-area seat that has turned two incumbents into rivals. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who has represented New York City’s Upper East Side for three decades, is facing Rep. Jerry Nadler, who has represented the Upper West Side for just as long.
Maloney, 76, and Nadler, 75, each chair powerful committees. Running in the same primary is Suraj Patel, a 38-year-old attorney who says it's time for a new generation of leaders.
Nadler has been endorsed by The New York Times and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. But turnout could be low since many district residents have left for summer vacations, especially wealthy voters who have second homes elsewhere, making predicting the winner difficult.
Unpredictable turnout could also decide a primary in an ultraliberal district in southern Manhattan and Brooklyn. Competing there is progressive Rep. Mondaire Jones, who represents a Hudson Valley seat but is running further south to avoid another incumbent-on-incumbent challenge.
Other candidates for the seat include Assembly member Yuh-Line Niou, New York City Councilwoman Carlina Rivera and former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman. Also running is Daniel Goldman, the former federal prosecutor who served as counsel to House Democrats in Trump's first impeachment inquiry.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, who heads the House Democratic campaign organization, is running in a new suburban district north of New York City. He swapped districts without consulting Jones, who currently represents most of the area. The move rankled the left and led state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi to challenge him for the seat.
A top Republican primary race is unfolding near Buffalo, where Republican Rep. Chris Jacobs opted not to seek reelection after facing backlash for voicing support for gun safety measures following a racist mass shooting in his district last May. New York Republican Party Chair Nick Langworthy and businessman Carl Paladino are running to replace him.
Paladino is a former gubernatorial candidate with a long history of offensive comments, including his suggestion that Adolf Hitler was “the kind of leader we need today” because of his ability to rally crowds. More recently, he said in a radio interview that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland “should be executed” for authorizing a search of Trump’s home. He said later in the show that he was being facetious.
OKLAHOMA
Two Trump supporters are competing in the GOP primary runoff for the remainder of Inhofe's term, which expires in January 2027.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin, a plumbing company owner who won his eastern Oklahoma House seat in 2012, finished atop a 13-candidate GOP field in June but came up short of the 50% threshold he needed to clinch the primary outright. He was endorsed by Trump, but only after finishing first in the primary.
Mullin faces former Oklahoma Speaker of the House T.W. Shannon, a bank executive who ran unsuccessfully for an open U.S. Senate seat in 2014. The winner will be heavily favored in November against former Democratic Rep. Kendra Horn.
In a state where nearly 10% of the population identifies as American Indian, both Mullin and Shannon are members of Native American tribes. Mullin is a Cherokee citizen, and Shannon, who is also African American, is a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation.
In Oklahoma's other Senate race, Jason Bollinger, an Oklahoma City attorney, and Madison Horn, a cybersecurity expert, are competing in the Democratic primary runoff to face incumbent Republican Sen. James Lankford in November. Lankford will be the strong favorite in November.
Mullin’s Senate bid left open House seat that drew 14 GOP challengers. Former state Sen. Josh Brecheen and current state lawmaker Avery Frix advanced to a runoff.

- Focused on developing treatments for rare diseases associated with vascular malformations
- Recruited first patients in Proof-of-Concept study for lead drug candidate VAD044
- Financed by Medicxi in 2020
BASEL, Switzerland, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vaderis Therapeutics AG (Vaderis), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing treatments for rare diseases associated with vascular malformations, today announced its emergence from stealth and initiation of its INSIGHT proof-of-concept clinical trial in patients suffering from Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome. Vaderis was established in 2019 and in 2020 raised over CHF18 million from Medicxi, enabling progression of its lead asset into the clinic and successful completion of Phase 1a.
Emergence from Stealth
Vaderis was founded with the unique aim to develop therapeutics for rare and orphan diseases associated with vascular malformations. In April 2020 Vaderis acquired a portfolio of allosteric AKT inhibitors from Almac Discovery Ltd of Belfast, UK. AKT is a serine kinase which plays a crucial role in vascular growth and in vascular overgrowth. There is a significant number of rare diseases such as HHT in which upstream genetic mutations trigger over-activation of the serine kinase AKT, resulting in vascular overgrowth. Such diseases frequently manifest in ways that are debilitating, disfiguring, painful and sometimes life-threatening. The vast majority of these diseases are currently left untreated except for symptomatic interventions which tend to offer patients limited temporary relief of individual symptoms. VAD044 is a once daily, orally administered, allosteric AKT inhibitor which has the potential to treat the underlying cause of these diseases. If successful, Vaderis would be the first company in the world to develop a medicine for the treatment of HHT and other diseases associated with vascular malformations.
Initiation of Clinical PoC in HHT
In pursuit of the company's core objective, Vaderis announces the initiation of the first study of VAD044 in HHT patients. Known as the INSIGHT proof-of-concept trial (INternational Study InvestiGating HHT), the study is unique in its robust design aimed at achieving a thorough understanding of the safety of VAD044 in HHT patients. A total of 80 HHT patients across the USA, Canada and Europe will be randomised in a double-blind, controlled trial comparing two doses of VAD044 to placebo. Initiation of the INSIGHT trial follows Health Authority approvals including FDA, Health Canada and key European agencies.
J.J. Mager, MD, PhD, pulmonologist at St. Antonius Hospital Utrecht, Chairman of the Global Research and Medical Advisory Board of Cure HHT and lead investigator of the INSIGHT trial commented, "The first patients recruited into the INSIGHT trial mark an exciting milestone in HHT clinical research. If successful, this trial may demonstrate the potential of this new drug to be effective beyond the symptomatic treatments we currently offer HHT patients, by addressing the course of this rare, progressive, and debilitating disease."
Nicholas Benedict, CEO of Vaderis added, "Working together with the HHT community, both caregivers and patient associations, Vaderis hopes to be the catalyst which transforms patient care in HHT. Success in the INSIGHT trial would be a major step towards developing the first ever registered treatment for HHT anywhere in the world."
Giovanni Mariggi, Partner at Medicxi and Chairman of Vaderis said, "Our vision is to create a unique company dedicated to delivering breakthrough therapies for rare diseases caused by vascular malformations. Initiation of the INSIGHT trial is an important milestone on the way to realising this vision. It is testament to the significant progress made by the company over the last two years".
About Vaderis
Vaderis is a clinical stage biotech company with the aim to develop medicinal treatments for rare and orphan diseases associated with vascular malformations. Since its founding in 2019, Vaderis raised a Series A financing from Medicxi and acquired a portfolio of allosteric AKT inhibitors from Almac Discovery Ltd of Belfast, UK. There is a significant number of debilitating and largely untreated rare diseases, such as HHT (Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia), in which patients suffer from over-activation of AKT triggered by upstream genetic mutations resulting in vascular overgrowth. There are no drugs approved anywhere in the world which specifically treat HHT. Vaderis aims to be the first company to develop a medicine for the treatment of HHT and aims to treat other diseases associated with vascular malformations.

Formula 1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen approached his NASCAR Cup debut with the same calmness that became his trademark throughout his career, and he adapted quickly to the series on Sunday at Watkins Glen International, even blocking regular season champion Chase Elliott at one point during the 90-lap Go Bowling at The Glen.
“I thought he did great,” Elliott said. “He was right in the middle of the mess there and looked like he was right at home, so I thought that was really cool.”
Entering the event, Raikkonen was realistic. He knew he could have a bad day as well as a good one and he experienced both on the 2.45-mile road course before a wreck sidelined him after 44 laps.
“I don’t know what happened in front of the car,” Raikkonen said calmly after walking out of the infield care center. “I had a good line going there. They all pushed kinda of right inside. I kept (my) tight line. When they told me that someone spun in front of the cars everybody kind of came left and hit me on the side. There was nothing I could have done.
“The first hit on my car spun the wheel in my hands. Something went wrong in the wrist, but I will fix it when I get back home. It’s a part of the game.”
Kimi Räikkönen's day is over at @WGI after this incident on Lap 46. pic.twitter.com/TwfEBjlrRQ
— NASCAR (@NASCAR) August 21, 2022
Raikkonen — the first driver in Trackhouse Racing’s PROJECT91 program designed to bring international drivers to the NASCAR Cup Series — qualified his Chevrolet 27th. A rainstorm that moved through the area at race time resulted in the cars starting on rain tires and Raikkonen’s experience on a wet track paid off. He needed only four laps to crack the top 20 and by lap 10 he had maneuvered his way into the top 15. Three laps after taking over 14th, Raikkonen’s crew called him to pit road to change the tires to slicks, those used in dry weather. When Stage 1 ended on lap 20, Raikkonen was 19th.
When Stage 2 began, Raikkonen was 10th and on lap 24 he had taken over ninth place. He ran as high as eighth before a pit stop with three laps remaining in Stage 2 shuffled him back to 28th. He restarted the final Stage in 22nd, but the four-car incident on lap 45 in which he was involved with Austin Dillon, Ross Chastain and Loris Hezemans ended the Finland native’s day.
Raikkonen said he enjoyed “everything” about the NASCAR Cup experience, but he didn’t know if he would consider returning for another race.
“I have nothing against it,” the 42-year-old Raikkonen said. “It was all good and they were very nice and helpful. We just ended up at the wrong place.
“I felt we had very good speed, especially after the pit stops, but maybe I was a bit too harsh on tires on one of the sets.”

Tyson Fury's cousin Rico Burton was stabbed to death outside a pub after going outside for a "straightener" following a row, it has emerged. Mr Burton, aged 31, was killed in what police called a "senseless" and "unplanned" attack.
Police said emergency services received multiple calls about a disturbance in Goose Green, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, at around 3am on Sunday. Officers arrived at the scene to find a 17-year-old man and a 31-year-old man with stab wounds receiving first aid from members of the public before police and paramedics took over.
The fight came after Mr Burton and another man allegedly got into a dispute. They went outside to settle things, it is reported.

Greater Manchester Police Superintendent Ben Ewart later confirmed that the 31-year-old was Mr Burton. Speaking to reporters, he said: "Can I take this opportunity first to pass on my sincere condolences to Rico's family and friends, and also praise the members of the public who stepped in and provided first aid."
"This is without doubt a senseless attack and both victims should have returned home this morning after enjoying a night out with friends," Mr Ewart said. "Goose Green is a popular nightspot and would have been busy at the time and I appeal for anyone who was there overnight on Saturday August 20 or anyone with information about this incident, including phone photograph footage or videos, to come forward, in particular any friends of any of the victims or suspects who may have been out with them that night who has not yet come forward. We have increased police controls in the area and knife crime remains a priority for Greater Manchester Police, the devastating effects of which have been demonstrated this morning."
He added: "Everything suggests, at this stage, he was out enjoying an evening with friends and this has taken place spontaneously and unplanned. So it's a very, very tragic ending to what should have been a good night out with friends."

East Texas emergency shelter for girls in foster care dedicated to a longtime CPS worker
GLADEWATER, Texas (KLTV) - A new emergency shelter that is opening in East Texas. Danielle’s Home of Hope is an emergency shelter for girls in foster care and is being dedicated to a longtime child protective services worker.
It’s a place offering girls in the foster care system comfort, love, and safety during times of transition.
Executive Director of Hope Haven of East Texas Jamie Sanders said, “The girls who come to Danielle’s Home of Hope will either have just been removed from an abusive situation and brought in to foster care or will have been in another foster care placement that has failed, but they don’t have a long term home to go to yet.”
Faye Wardlaw is Danielle Jones’ mother, whom the house was named after. Jones dedicated many years and hours to helping children. She was killed in an ATV accident in 2015, but her dream for this home was born long before. Now her family and Hope Haven of East Texas are making it a reality.
“Tammy (Wardlaw’s sister) and Danielle would sit and talk about how they were going to run it, the changes they were going to make because certain things a shelter needed,” Wardlaw said. “Some of the kids that came from emergency shelters would tell them, be like this and not like this, so they were making their notes.”
Wardlaw said there are many phone calls with her daughter she remembers.
“The one that really stuck with me was when she called and said, mama, and she’s crying and I can hear the child crying in the background and she’s tending to it, and she says we can do better than this. We can do better than what this is,” Wardlaw said.
Sunday afternoon members from the community got to pray over the home and hear more about the dedication. This home is their step toward better. It has three bedrooms, two baths, an office, kitchen and two living spaces. In total, it can house seven girls, ages 5 to 17, at a time.
“We will have a staff of eight direct care staff members. They’ll be awake 24 hours a day to meet the girls’ needs,” Sanders said. “We have a case manager who cares for the needs of each girl and acts as a liaison between the girls and CPS. We’ll have a residential staff manager and an administrator.”
Sanders said they see new children coming into the system everyday. It can take a while to find long-term placements for them.
“Many times these kids will end up spending the night in CPS offices, or in hotel rooms and the uncertainty of being in places like that after the trauma that they’ve experienced being removed from their families causes even more fear in them as they make that transition,” Sanders said.
The renovations have taken about five years. Sanders said the home is owned by Jones’ family members and they lease it to Hope Haven of East Texas to manage the operations out of.
“I am overwhelmed with joy and that contagious smile of my daughter, I know she’s smiling down from heaven right now and just saying, ‘Good job,’” Wardlaw said.
Sanders said their projected day for having girls in the home is October 3.

Russian forces pressed on with their offensive across several Ukrainian regions on Monday, while President Volodymyr Zelensky warned of the potential for more serious attacks ahead of Ukraine’s 31st anniversary of independence from Soviet rule. Artillery shells rained down on Nikopol, a city near Zaporizhzhia – Europe’s largest nuclear plant, while missiles struck near the Black Sea port of Odesa over the weekend. Zelensky has called for vigilance, saying Moscow could try “something particularly ugly” ahead of Wednesday, which marks Ukraine’s Independence Day and also half a year since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24. Zelensky said he had discussed “all the threats” with French President Emmanuel Macron and word had also been sent to other leaders including Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. Zelensky warns Russia may put Ukraine soldiers on trial “All of Ukraine’s partners have been informed about what the terrorist state can prepare for this week,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address, referring to Russia. He also said if Russia went ahead with plans to try captured Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol, then it would have violated international rules and cut itself off from negotiations. “If this despicable show trial were to go ahead … this would be the line beyond which negotiations are no longer possible,” he said. “There will be no more conversations. Our state has said everything.” The Financial Times, in an article published on Sunday, quoted Gennady Gatilov, Moscow’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, as saying Erdogan had tried to facilitate dialogue. Russia’s UN envoy sees no diplomatic solution to end Ukraine war But he dismissed speculation about talks between Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying there “was not any practical platform for having this meeting,” the report said. In Russia, authorities are investigating a suspected car bomb attack outside Moscow that killed the daughter of Alexander Dugin, an ultranationalist Russian ideologue who advocates Russia absorbing Ukraine. While investigators said they were considering “all versions” when it came to establishing who was responsible, the Russian Foreign Ministry speculated there could be a link to Ukraine, something a Zelensky adviser dismissed. “Ukraine, of course, had nothing to do with this because we are not a criminal state, like the Russian Federation, and moreover we are not a terrorist state,” Mykhailo Podolyak said on Ukrainian TV. More Russian strikes As Ukraine prepared to mark its Independence Day embroiled in a war that has flattened towns and cities, killed thousands and forced millions to flee, officials reported more Russian strikes on targets in the east and south of the country. In the eastern Bakhmut region, Russian forces inflicted damage from artillery and multiple rocket launcher systems in the areas of Soledar, Zaytseve and Bilogorivka settlements, Ukraine’s General Staff said in its daily update on Monday. They continued to focus their efforts on establishing full control over the territories of Luhansk and Donetsk regions, maintaining the captured areas of Kherson and parts of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Mykolayiv regions, the General Staff added. Of particular concern is the shelling of Nikopol. Nikopol was shelled on five different occasions overnight, regional governor Valentyn Reznichenko wrote on Telegram on Sunday. He said 25 artillery shells hit the city, causing a fire at an industrial premises and cutting power to 3,000 residents. The fighting near Zaporizhzhia and a missile strike on the southern town of Voznesensk, not far from Ukraine’s second-largest atomic plant, have spurred fears of a nuclear accident. On Sunday, US President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Macron held a phone call stressing the importance of ensuring the safety of nuclear installations, while underlining their “steadfast commitment” to Ukraine. Moscow says it is engaged in a “special military operation” to disarm and “denazify” its neighbour. Ukraine and its allies say Moscow has launched an unprovoked war of aggression. Russia said on Sunday that its Kalibr missiles had destroyed an ammunition depot containing missiles for US-made HIMARS rockets in Ukraine’s southeastern Odesa region, home to ports critical to a UN-brokered plan to help Ukrainian agricultural exports reach world markets again. Kyiv said a granary had been hit. Reuters was not able to independently verify the battlefield reports. | https://www.scmp.com/news/world/russia-central-asia/article/3189728/ukraine-war-russian-forces-continue-offensive-near?utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-08-22T06:37:35Z | https://www.scmp.com/news/world/russia-central-asia/article/3189728/ukraine-war-russian-forces-continue-offensive-near?utm_source=rss_feed | true | 10 |
Jos Verstappen/Harm van Koppen
Jos Verstappen says he learnt a lot in making his FIA World Rally Championship debut at Rally Belgium.
Driving a DG Sport Competition-prepared Citroen C3, the former Formula 1 driver was guided by Harm van Koppen to 60th place at Rally Belgium, finishing two spots above the championship-leading pairing of Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen, as Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja prevailed.
While he has previously competed in national-level rallies in Belgium, the outing was Verstappen’s first at the sport’s top level.
The Dutchman started the rally well, finishing the opening day in 25th overall.
His second day behind the wheel was more troublesome, after the Citroën C3 slid off the track in the opening stage of the afternoon session, bringing an early end to the day.
He recovered from the off to complete the final four tests on the last day of the event.
The father of 2021 Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen said he was proud to finish the event.
“It went well,” he enthused.
“My limited knowledge of the course bothers me, but that’s why we are here to participate in this rally, to learn a lot, and gain experience.
“It was the first time for both myself and my co-pilot that we drove in Ypres.
“You know how difficult Ypres can be and on Saturday we were surprised.
“It is a great pity that failure, because otherwise we could have put down a nice classification.
“But I’m glad we were able to participate again today and satisfied.
“We were able to learn a lot and I’m proud to have finished.”
The two-time Formula 1 podium finisher said he has always enjoyed rallying.
“I first drove a rally car maybe one-and-a-half years ago and of course, from that point you just want more and more,” he added.
“So we started to do some events with the Rally2 car and DG Sport and then Ypres came up.
“It’s a big step, but we really enjoy the rallying and we are here to learn.”
The senior Verstappen spent eight seasons at the pinnacle of single-seater racing during the 1990s and early 2000s before retiring from F1 in 2003.
He isn’t the first F1 driver to attempt rallying with Kimi Räikkönen, Robert Kubica, and Valtteri Bottas having also sampled the discipline.
Despite rolling on Friday morning’s second stage, Rovanperä/Halttunen (203 points) leave Belgium with a championship lead of 72 points, ahead of Tänak/Järveoja (131 points), and Evans/Martin (116 points).
The next round of the 2022 WRC season is Rally Greece, on September 8-11. | https://www.speedcafe.com/2022/08/22/verstappen-proud-to-finish-on-wrc-debut/ | 2022-08-22T06:43:02Z | https://www.speedcafe.com/2022/08/22/verstappen-proud-to-finish-on-wrc-debut/ | false | 1 |

He said this is a message to all Government MPs as he prepares to announce his full Cabinet on Tuesday (23 August) and as a week-long Parliament induction for new MPs starts Monday (22 August).
PM Marape stressed that an ordinary MP could transform PNG for the better if he or she put “200 per cent” effort into their job.
“We are now almost 47 years old as a nation and we will be 50 soon, yet, our country is in a diabolical state,” was his message to Government MPs.
“We all have to work very hard to fix it.
“As I settle with who to fill in Cabinet and vice-ministry positions on Tuesday, I will not be able to satisfy all of you, so I beg your understanding and I will do my best to ensure that your role as MP is well supported.
Our Coalition Agreement, as well as having all provinces and regions fairly represented, will be considered when making the line-up.
“In the line-up, I also hope to match ministers with department heads, who can deliver the outcomes we want for our people.
“We are here not to enjoy the ambiance of the office of an MP but to achieve national outcomes.
“Hence, let us rally in our collective talents and get work done. Together we can; on your own you cannot!”
PM Marape urged all MPs, whether a minister in the new Cabinet or not, to work harder for the good of PNG.
“Time flies and it must not be wasted,” he said.
“I campaigned hard with my Pangu Pati on certain priorities to better PNG, and these will be attended to with no second-chance mindset.
“Those of you who will be in the National Executive Council must be PNG patriots to put the country first and your district last, urged Marape.

A massive land slip in the Nelson suburb of Atawhai last week was captured on video.
The slip began just after 2pm on Thursday and quickly escalated, toppling trees and sliding onto the road.
The video was taken by holiday-maker Gary Fieldes, who is house sitting for some friends while they were travelling overseas.
The house was located directly opposite the collapsing bank.

A man was forced to spend his dream holiday to Mexico alone after his Brazilian girlfriend was deported - after a visa mix-up. Scott Kinghorn, 32, and partner Thallise Marciano, 29, splashed out £2,500 on the trip of a lifetime.
But their holiday plans were left in tatters when Scott became separated from Thallise. She is a Brazilian national and was therefore required to apply for a separate visa to gain entry to Mexico.
But Scott claims they weren't told this by the booking agent - meaning he was left stranded in Mexico for a week while Thallise was sent home. Tui said it was sorry to hear of the couple's experience but that it is the customer's responsibility to check visa rules.
Scott, from Edinburgh, said: "The whole trip was a complete nightmare from start to finish. Tui are responsible as she should never have been able to board that flight with a Brazilian passport and the incorrect documents."
The couple booked a last-minute package holiday to Cancun with Tui at the beginning of June and flew from Glasgow two weeks later. They filled out visa forms on the plane in line with Mexico's government guidelines on Tui's website, they say, ready for when they landed.
But on their arrival at immigration, Thallise was stopped by border force staff as she walked through passport control. The couple had separated passing through immigration, and Scott arrived at baggage claim unaware Thallise had been detained
He tried to walk back to passport control to see where she was, but airport staff refused to let him through. They went to find Thallise themselves, and, after 10 minutes, returned with some dire news.
They explained that she had been detained and was being sent back to Glasgow as she had travelled with an invalid visa. Thallise is a Brazilian national and was therefore required to apply for a separate visa to gain entry to Mexico - although Tui hadn't specified this, Scott claims.
He said he then tried to explain he wanted to fly home with her, but security refused to let him board the return flight. He was also stopped from seeing her before she was deported.
Scott said: "We arrived in Cancun buzzing for our holiday, but when I arrived at baggage claim I realised I'd lost her. I went back to look for her, but the immigration officers refused to let me walk back through passport control.
"They eventually agreed to look for me, and when they came back, they said she was being sent home for having the wrong visa. I tried to say I was flying home with her, but they said that was impossible as I'd already entered the country.
"They wouldn't even let me see her before she left and I had all our credit cards and our house keys. It was ludicrous."
Thallise was put on the first flight back to Glasgow, with no money and no way of getting into their house when she got home, Scott said. Meanwhile, he was forced to go to the hotel in Mexico by himself.
When he arrived at the resort, he rung Tui customer service - but claims they said there was nothing they could do. Scott then stayed up all night, waiting for a message from Thallise to say she'd arrived in the UK.
He had to book her a hotel for two nights in Scotland while he organised for his brother to come back from a work trip and collect her. She also had no money for food, Scott said, so he was forced to order her Deliveroo from abroad until his brother arrived.
Scott says he tried for a week to organise an earlier flight home. But he claims Tui could only offer him a flight back to Manchester for £400 - two days before he was meant to leave anyway.
The business owner said: "Thallise has anxiety and she had a panic attack on the flight home resulting in her needing medical attention. When she got back no family members were available at such short notice to collect her so I had to get her a hotel - entirely at our expense!
"All in all, I spent £2,500 on the holiday plus the extra costs of her accommodation in Scotland and takeouts I was forced to order her. I've since complained to Tui but they're aftercare has been appalling - I can't get through to speak to anyone.
"This is their fault because when Thallise filled out her advanced passenger information she should have been informed about the visa change for Brazilians. She should never have been allowed to board that flight with a Brazilian passport.
"We wouldn't have even been able to get her the right visa until September so would never have booked the trip in the first place had we have been told. I'm trying to get the whole trip refunded but have heard nothing back from them since I got home six weeks ago.
"The whole holiday was a disaster. I won't stop until Tui takes responsibility for it."
Tui said: "We’re very sorry to hear of Mr Kinghorn and Ms Marciano’s experience. We always recommend that customers check visa requirements with the consulate or embassy of the country they’re travelling to before they book and ensure they have the correct documentation prior to completing their booking.
"On this occasion, Mr Kinghorn booked his holiday online and agreed to our booking terms and conditions which outlines that customers are responsible for checking if a visa is required to enter their chosen destination." Cancun International Airport has been approached for comment.

How Blockchain Technology is Helping in Building FoodVerse in India
Blockchain is one of the most powerful modern technologies available to us today. At OneRare, we are using Web3 to propel the traditional Food & Beverage industry and usher in new marketing and monetisation models. Our Foodverse leverages blockchain to create Food NFTs, community-owned experiences, bring authenticity and traceability to food ordering, and allow Chefs & Food Brands to engage with global audiences. We are building on the Polygon chain and utilise their low transaction fees to encourage more first-time users and grow this new concept in India.
How NFT is Revolutionizing and Creating a Better Future for Restaurants Businesses across the globe
NFTs enable businesses to create a new customer channel that allows for virtual engagement, loyalty programs, experiences and sentimental keepsakes. An Indian Chef can leverage NFTs to set up a pop-up restaurant experience in Australia. Similarly, an American restaurant can create their virtual restaurant in our Foodverse and offer table reservations using NFTs, that can be redeemed by you or your loved ones. Food businesses can tokenize their iconic recipes, allow patrons to celebrate their favorite dishes, and allow for NFTs to be swapped for real meals and deals. In a B2B environment, NFTs can allow you to expand your business by fundraising via issued tokens, create franchise models and generate global revenue – it’s a relatively new technology and we will be seeing a lot of exploration over the next few years.
Future of FoodVerse in India
India is an integral part of our Foodverse, thanks to the unique regional cuisines and global love for Indian food. Food is an iconic part of every celebration and household in India, and Indians have great loyalty towards their favourite restaurants and food brands. The Global Food Industry is very excited to interact with Indian audiences and I think it will open the path to many new cuisines, restaurants and investments in India. The Foodverse allows users to celebrate the best of Indian cuisine, discover new foods and it will surely strike a chord with the foodie in all of us.

How OneRare aims to establish the next wave of Blockchain Metaverse in India
While a newbie can be averse to understanding the depths of a new and complicated technology, food can be a familiar environment for learning. We want to leverage Food as an example to teach people about the basics of blockchain – Staking, Smart Contract technology, NFTs and more. It sounds complicated, but if I told you that staking works like a fixed deposit in the bank giving you rewards for locking up your money – it would become easier. In our Farm, you can stake ORARE Tokens to earn rewards that come in the form of Ingredient NFTs. You can then use these Ingredient NFTs to cook up your favorite Dish NFT, which again leverages blockchain like the real world – for once you cook up a dish, you cannot reverse the process in your kitchen. It’s this simplicity that we bring to audiences engaging with blockchain for the first time. We are the world’s first Foodverse and our aim is to build a Web3 project that is accessible and enjoyable at the same time. | https://newslanes.com/2022/08/22/onerare-meet-the-worlds-first-food-metaverse/ | 2022-08-22T07:08:55Z | https://newslanes.com/2022/08/22/onerare-meet-the-worlds-first-food-metaverse/ | true | 1 |
It had been six weeks since the Tamworth Kangaroos last came out on top, but the men in blue and white rekindled that winning feeling in Gunnedah over the weekend.

Not since their round nine clash against the Inverell Saints had the Kangaroos won a match on-field (the Narrabri Eagles Moree Suns combined team did forfeit their round 12 clash), but co-captain Ben Mitchell said the team's focus in Saturday's game against the Bulldogs was simply getting back on the park.
"It was just good to get out and play footy again," Mitchell said.
"Between a couple of losses, washouts, byes, and scrapped games, it was just good to go out and play footy again."
The win also assured the Kangaroos of a third-place finish on the ladder, meaning they will play a home semi-final this weekend against the New England Nomads.
Despite the Bulldogs' record this season, with just three victories to their name, Mitchell did not expect an easy win.
And Gunnedah subsequently delivered a "very tough game" at Wolseley Oval, in which the Kangaroos managed to pull ahead 13.15.93 to 10.4.64 by the final horn.
"I guess the scoreboard looked like we were in front for the whole game, but it was game on from the first bounce to the end of the game," Mitchell said.
"They're a pretty solid team, a pretty physical team, and it was tough."
The Kangaroos "just tried to work towards our game plan", Mitchell said, which paid off in the end.
However, they did not emerge from the match unscathed. There are plenty of sore bodies among their ranks, which Mitchell hopes can be overcome before this weekend's semi-final.
"Luck hasn't been that great to us, but I think we're all as good as we can be," he said.
"We're not in the greatest shape, but we understand where we're at. I'm not too sure what blokes we'll have available next week, there's a few sore bodies.
"Gunnedah's always a physical game ... but we'll strap together a team and give it our best."

Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses Exceeding $100,000 In Telos To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 8, 2022) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Telos Corporation ("Telos" or the "Company") TLS and reminds investors of the April 8, 2022 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
If you suffered losses exceeding $100,000 investing in Telos stock or options between November 19, 2020 and November 12, 2021 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310). You may also click here for additional information: www.faruqilaw.com/TLS.
There is no cost or obligation to you.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading minority and Woman-owned national securities law firm with offices in New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia.
As detailed below, the lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the TSA and CMS contracts, which constituted a majority of the Company's future revenues, were not on track to commence as represented at the end of 2021 and in 2022; (2) Defendants lacked a reasonable basis and sufficient visibility to provide and affirm the Company's 2021 guidance in the face of the uncertainty surrounding the TSA and CMS contracts; (3) COVID- and hacking scandal-related headwinds were throwing off the timing for performance of the TSA and CMS contracts and their associated revenues; (4) as a result, the guidance provided by Defendants was not in fact "conservative"; (5) as a result of the delays, Telos would be forced to dramatically reduce its revenue estimates; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' statements about Telos' business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
The truth emerged during Telos' third quarter 2021 earnings call on November 15, 2021, causing Telos' stock price to fall and investors to suffer substantial losses. On that call, Telos announced that it was not expecting the TSA PreCheck contract "to deliver meaningful sales this year." The Company also disclosed that it was not including revenue from the CMS contract in the company's 2022 outlook.
In response to these revelations, Telos' stock price fell $6.84 per share, or more than 28%.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Telos's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

In order to ensure a safe environment during the forthcoming festivities in honour of the town’s patron, San Miguel, Torremolinos town hall has announced that it will install ‘violet’ and ‘rainbow’ points at different locations of the romeria and the feria again this year.
The initiative, which has the collaboration of the provincial authority, will provide help and assistance to victims of sexist violence and hate crimes. The town hall said that the objective of the project is to “break with prejudices and misconceptions and raise awareness about a problem of social significance with the aim of proposing a culture of partying and leisure free of harassment”.
The points will promote equality, raise awareness of gender violence and offer information and advice, along with medical assistance when necessary.
A spokesperson for the council said, “In this way, an attempt has been made to let people know how to act in case of witnessing this type of aggression, how to help and where to go.” | https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/benalmadena-torremolinos/violet-rainbow-feria-20220821111510-nt.html | 2022-08-22T07:24:02Z | https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/benalmadena-torremolinos/violet-rainbow-feria-20220821111510-nt.html | false | 1 |
Police Took a Closer Look at the Buckets in His Basement and Make a Horrifying Find, Things Get Worse When They Read the Messages
A Pennsylvania man has been arrested after human remains were discovered at his home.
Jeremy Pauley, 40, of Enola was arrested as part of a business in body parts that came from a mortuary at the University of Arkansas for Medical Science, according to the New York Post.
According to court documents cited by WPMT-TV in York, Pennsylvania, an employee of the mortuary sold bones and other body parts to Pauley. As of Sunday, that employee had not been charged with any crime.
Pauley allegedly purchased about $4,000 worth of parts, according to CBS News.
The shipment included half a head, a whole head, three brains, a heart, a liver, a lung, two kidneys, a female pelvis, a torso with a nipple, and four human hands, according to the WPMT.
Jeremy Pauley allegedly bought remains from a woman in Arkansas, which included a half a head, three brains with a skull cap, one heart, and more. https://t.co/1GLpaiZaz0
— True Crime Daily (@CrimeWatchDaily) August 19, 2022
Pauley, owner of The Grand Wunderkammer — a shop that boasts that it deals in oddities — then sold the items online through a Facebook page, according to police.
The store’s Facebook pages bills it as “Vendors of the odd and unusual, museum exhibits, guest lectures, live entertainment, and so much more! Strange, curious, and unique in every way possible!”
Pauley, who was arrested Thursday, according to Fox News, was charged with abuse of a corpse, receiving stolen property, and dealing in the proceeds of illegal activity.
Police were tipped off when they received a report of possible human remains in multiple buckets in Pauley’s basement, according to WGAL-TV in Lancaster.
They first visited Pauley’s home after the tip June 14, according to WPMT. Pauley said he was a collector of oddities and acknowledged possessing three human skeletons and 15 to 12 human skulls, the station reported.
However, the items appeared to be “very old” and Pauley seemed to have acquired them legitimately, the WPMT report states.
Police received a second tip July 8, reporting that Pauley had been purchasing human remains and had buckets of “human skin” and “human organs” in his basement, WPMT reported.
Police then searched the home with a warrant and found “three to five buckets containing suspected human remains,” WPMT reported.
They then followed a trail of Facebook messages to learn that the human remains were purchased from Arkansas and shipped via U.S. mail to Pennsylvania.
One package of body parts was intercepted in Scranton, according to WPMT.
The University of Arkansas for Medical Science released a statement declaring it was “saddened and appalled” by the news of the sales.
“An employee of the mortuary service is under investigation by federal authorities for taking some human remains from the mortuary that were donated to UAMS. We are saddened and appalled that this happened,” the statement said, noting that the remains were donated for use by medical students.
Cumberland County District Attorney Sean McCormack acknowledged how unusual the case is.
“I think I’ve seen it all, and then something like this comes around,” he said, according to CBS.
“The question we had to answer was, ‘Is the sale of body parts or bones and remains illegal … or legal?’ Some of it, to our surprise, was legal. And as the investigation went on, it became clear there was illegal activity going on as well,” he said.

("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that since August 15, 2022, the local government of Sichuan province, where certain of JinkoSolar' s manufacturing facilities are located, has imposed province-wide power rationing measures to ease the power shortage in the region.

After four weeks of gains, European and US markets ran out of puff last week, with the DAX and S&P500 retreating from technical resistance levels, although the FTSE100 managed to finish the week higher.
Both the DAX and S&P500 retreated from trend line resistance from the highs this year, while the S&P500 was also rebuffed by the 200-day SMA, prompting questions as to whether this is as good as it gets for this rebound off the lows? Asia markets were also mixed with Chinese markets rising after the PBOC cut its 1- and 5-year lending rates in an attempt to give the economy and an economic boost. While welcome this is unlikely to help much with loan demand weak and the government determined not to relax its zero-covid policy.
For the most part last week’s weakness was prompted by big jumps in headline inflation in the UK and Europe, with UK CPI in July pushing into double digits for the first time ever, while German PPI surged by 5.3% month on month, and to an eye-watering 37.2% year on year.
When set against European and UK gas prices continuing to trade at record highs, and set to go higher after Russia announced they would be closing Nord Stream One for three days at the end of the month, the penny appears to have dropped that central banks are likely to have to go much harder on rate increases if they are to have any chance of getting on top of the inflation genie.
This realisation, has in turn, prompted a sharp selloff in bond markets, pushing yields sharply higher on both sides of the Atlantic, while the US dollar rose sharply, posting its highest weekly close in over a decade.
While inflation in Europe is showing little sign of slowing down, in the US there is some optimism that we may well have seen a short-term peak, after the equivalent US CPI measure saw a sharp decline.
This optimism did prompt some speculation that this slowdown in inflation could prompt the Federal Reserve to soft pedal on its rate hiking cycle. This comes across as wildly optimistic if some of the recent commentary from senior Fed officials is any guide over the past few weeks, in a sign that perhaps markets don’t truly believe the messaging.
As such, this week could well be a challenge for market sentiment, where there still seems to be a hard-core cohort who believe the Fed will start cutting rates sometime next year.
While this week’s US PCE inflation numbers are likely to confirm the slightly softer US inflation numbers, they are unlikely to be sufficient to shift the narrative enough to shake the complacency of those who still think a Fed pivot may be coming.
This is why this week’s Jackson Hole symposium is so important as it could well set the tone for the rest of the year, as it has done on previous occasions over the last 10 years.
As such the focus this week is set to be on Fed chairman Jay Powell’s speech at the end of the week.
With US CPI at 8.5% and the Fed Funds rate down at 2.5%, headline rates are likely to have to go quite a bit higher from where they are now, with the consensus of at least another 1.5% of hikes by year end, which means at least 1 of those will need to be a 75bps hike given there are only 3 Fed meetings left this year.
Furthermore, the idea that the Fed would start to reverse its rate hiking cycle if inflation is still well above 2% comes across as inconceivable, and it’s surprising that the market is even pricing it. This week Powell could prick that misconception. The question is will he?
EUR/USD – outlook continues to darken for the euro as we head towards 0.9950 and the previous lows. The 0.9620 level remains the next key support if we break lower. The 1.0220 area now becomes minor resistance, followed by major trend line resistance from the January highs at 1.0340.
GBP/USD – the possibility of a break higher has diminished sharply with the next key support now at the previous lows at 1.1760. A move below 1.1760 targets the lockdown lows of March 2020 at 1.1500. Resistance comes in at 1.1980 area.
EUR/GBP – ran out of steam just above the 0.8510 area last week, with broader resistance up at around 0.8520. Still range trading with decent support down near the 0.8400 area.
USD/JPY – broken above the cloud and 50-day SMA with the move through 136.30, now opening up the previous highs at 139.40. Now have support at 136.30.

I have resigned with a heavy heart from the Chairmanship of the Steering Committee of the Congress for the Himachal Elections, he said
Anand Sharma
Senior Congress leader Anand Sharma, who quit as the chief of the party panel for the upcoming Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections, on Sunday said that he had no choice but to resign "due to continuous insults and exclusion" while asserting he will remain a committed party member.
"I have resigned with a heavy heart from the Chairmanship of the Steering Committee of the Congress for the Himachal Elections. Reiterating that I am a lifelong congressman and remain firm on my convictions
I have resigned with a heavy heart from the Chairmanship of the Steering Committee of the Congress for the Himachal Elections. Reiterating that I am a lifelong congressman and remain firm on my convictions. 1/2
— Anand Sharma (@AnandSharmaINC) August 21, 2022
"Committed to Congress ideology that runs in my blood, let there be no doubts about this! However, given the continuing exclusion and insults, as a self-respecting person- I was left with no choice" he said in a series of tweets.

Sources close to Sharma said he has sent his letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi after being sidelined from the working of the party unit in the state.
Rajeev Shukla, the party's state in-charge, has not commented on the issue, and Congress sources said they did not know about the development.
Sharma's resignation comes in wake of Ghulam Nabi Azad quitting as the party's J&K campaign committee head.
Along with Azad, Sharma is also among the prominent leaders of the G-23 group, which has demanded sweeping reforms in the party.
The Congress President had, on April 26, appointed the Himachal Pradesh state Congress chief, the CLP leader and Chairman of Campaign Committee. The party had also announced eight other committees, including a Steering Committee with Sharma as Chairman and Asha Kumari as the convenor.
According to sources close to Sharma's office, his letter said that the "multiplicity of committees and overlapping of functions required clarity for functional purposes" and he had requested the General Secretary, Organisation and the state in-charge to clarify the mandate and role of the Steering Committee.
The letter noted that meetings of state unit's core group and senior leaders on election strategy and preparations had been held both in Delhi and Shimla, including a meeting of the state unit chief, the head of the Campaign Committee and other committees on June 20 and in early August, the state incharge and central AICC observers visited Shimla for various meetings. However, Sharma, as Chairman of the Steering Committee, was neither informed nor invited for any of these meetings, it said.

The unit of director Mohan Raja's eagerly awaited action entertainer, Godfather, has released the much-awaited teaser of the film as part of the birthday celebrations of the film's lead actor Chiranjeevi, who celebrates his 67th birthday on Monday.
Taking to Twitter, director Mohan Raja tweeted: "Here's the Teaser. Happy birthday our dear most Megastar Chiranjeevi garu. 'GodFather' Teaser out now. Megastar K Chiranjeevi and Salman Khan together."
Here goes the #GodfatherTeaser
దసరా పండగ రోజు ‘గాడ్ ఫాదర్’ వస్తున్నాడు.. మీ ప్రేమాభిమానాల కోసం.. https://t.co/wZ6x049WiZ pic.twitter.com/MdpH2jmsB7
— Chiranjeevi Konidela (@KChiruTweets) August 21, 2022
The teaser gives away the fact that Chiranjeevi plays a character that is referred to as Godfather in the film. The Godfather, we are told, disappeared for 20 years from public gaze and that he has suddenly returned, only to gain huge popularity in the next six years.
The teaser also shows Nayanthara's character wishing that the Godfather doesn't arrive at the place that she is in. Meanwhile, there are a bunch of baddies who want to finish off the Godfather as well.
Salman Khan, who calls himself Chiranjeevi's younger brother in the film, says that he is ready to arrive anytime his elder brother wants him to.
The film, which has cinematography by Nirav Shah and music by Thaman, is to hit screens on October 5 this year.

ETEA conducts entrance test for admissions in colleges, varsities
PESHAWAR – The entrance test for admissions in public and private sector engineering colleges and universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) was conducted simultaneously on Sunday at Peshawar, Mardan, Abbottabad, Swat, Malakand, Kohat and Dera Ismail Khan centres.
The test for the academic session 2022-23 was conducted by the Educational Testing and Evaluating Agency (ETEA) of the provincial government. Around 6,880 candidates, including 572 females, from KP, erstwhile FATA, AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan appeared for the test.
The result will be announced on August 22 (today) and uploaded on ETEA website (www.etea.edu.pk).
University of Engineering and Technology Vice Chancellor Peshawar Prof. Dr Iftikhar Hussain visited the Peshawar centre. He appreciated the efforts of ETEA for smooth conduction of the test, and thanked KP Minister for Higher Education Kamran Bangash for introducing special initiatives and reforms by reducing registration fee for entrance test from Rs2,500 to Rs500.
He said that registration fee was reduced to bring the deserving and talented youth in the engineering education, which was beyond the reach of those with financial constraints.
He also said that reforms in the entrance test were also introduced by reducing the number of Multiple Choice Questions from 200 to 100 in two hours and excluding the negative marking on wrong answers.
Executive Director of ETEA Yasir Imran said that the agency followed the government instructions for conducting the test across the province. He expressed his satisfaction over the arrangements and facilities that were provided to the candidates at all the centres.
Treasurer of UET Peshawar Prof Dr Misbah Ullah, Director Admissions UET Peshawar Dr Rashid Nawaz, ETEA official Dr Shamaila Farooq and the Director Media and Publications of UET Peshawar were also present on the occasion. | https://nation.com.pk/2022/08/22/etea-conducts-entrance-test-for-admissions-in-colleges-varsities/ | 2022-08-22T07:49:26Z | https://nation.com.pk/2022/08/22/etea-conducts-entrance-test-for-admissions-in-colleges-varsities/ | false | 1 |

The average time courts take to dispose of a commercial case has reduced from 1,445 days in 2020 to 626 days in 2022--a 50 per cent improvement, said a media report on Monday citing Law Ministry data.
Such cases have some transaction or trade involved. "Commercial suits include suit arising out of the ordinary transactions of merchants, bankers and traders; and amongst others those relating to the construction of mercantile documents, export or import of merchandise, affraightment, carriage of goods by land, sea or air insurance, banking and mercantile agency and mercantile usages," says the Delhi High Court website.
The enforcement of contracts via dispute resolution was a major drag on India's ranking in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Index. Even though India's overall ranking had improved from 142 in 2014 to 63 in 2020, the country’s 'enforcement of contracts' improved marginally from 186 in 2014 to 163 in 2020.
Dispute resolution for commercial cases in the country is quickest in Mumbai, said the Times of India (TOI). It takes 626 days on average for any such case to be resolved. In New Delhi, the average time period is 744 days. These also include the time taken for the execution of the judgment.
The law ministry data further showed that the trial of cases now happens within 306 days, on average. This was 1,095 days in 2020. The average time to file a case and serve the summons has also been reduced from 45 days to 15 days, the TOI report added.
Several district-level commercial courts have been established since 2014 in India. Among other things, several legislative reforms were taken including Goods and Services Tax (GST), 100 per cent online assessment of the Income Tax cases, automated e-way bills etc.
The judges now get indicator lights on their logbooks. The delay or any breach of rules is indicated by the lights, said TOI. Judges are not allowed to adjourn a case more than three times. If they do so, they are shown a red light. For the first and second adjournment, the light shows green and yellow colours, respectively.
The performance of the judges is recorded and used during their evaluation for promotion to a superior court, the TOI report added.

SHANGRAO, China, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that since August 15, 2022, the local government of Sichuan province, where certain of JinkoSolar' s manufacturing facilities are located, has imposed province-wide power rationing measures to ease the power shortage in the region. As a result of these measures, the production capacity of JinkoSolar' s manufacturing facilities in Sichuan province has been temporarily affected.
JinkoSolar is actively monitoring the situation and has implemented various measures to minimize the adverse impact from the power rationing on its business operations and financial performance, including but not limited to having its other manufacturing facilities assume more production, and actively communicating with the local government about power supply related matters. However, as it remains uncertain how long the power rationing measures will persist and when JinkoSolar's Sichuan manufacturing facilities can resume full production, JinkoSolar is currently unable to evaluate the extent to which its business operation and financial performance for full year 2022 will be affected.

Retirement mortgages help fuel record result as Edinburgh's Hampden & Co heads for maiden full-year profit
Hampden & Co, the Edinburgh-based private bank, has enjoyed a record first half after seeing a spike in demand for retirement mortgages.
The bank reported a 47 per cent hike in total income to £8.8 million, with deposits up 21 per cent to £731m and loans and advances up 14 per cent to £434m, compared with the year before.
The group benefited from strong demand for its range of deposit, lending and day-to-day banking services.
Demand for its specialist mortgages and loans such as residential, retirement, buy-to-let, guarantor, multi-property and, most recently, self-build mortgages was most marked in London and the south east of England, accounting for around two thirds of total lending in the six-month period, while lending in Scotland also remained strong.
Most Popular
Lending for retirement mortgages, which allow clients in retirement to raise funds against the value of their principal property, saw year-on-year growth of 80 per cent. The bank’s self-build mortgage product, launched around a year ago, finished the period at £3.6m.
In addition, the bank’s portfolio lending service, which lets clients of wealth managers borrow against their investment portfolios, grew 40 per cent year-on-year to £35m. Overall, lending introduced by advisers and intermediaries including mortgage brokers, wealth managers, solicitors and other professionals lifted 30 per cent to about £100m.
Hampden & Co was founded in 2010, opening for business in 2015 when it became the first new UK private bank launch in a quarter of a century. It also has offices in London.
To support the bank’s work with advisers, it appointed Hannah Berridge as head of professional partnerships in May this year. Her focus is to further build the group’s relationships with professional service firms and intermediaries.
Chief executive Graeme Hartop said: “Our continued and consistent growth for the first half of 2022 is testament to our relationship-driven approach with clients and the professional advisers that serve them.
“With some private banks moving away from traditional service models, our results show that clients still want and value having access to a named banker and a tailored proposition.”
He added: “We continue to invest in growing the business and we are seeing the results of our long-term strategy in terms of client growth and reputation reflected in these very positive financials. Importantly, the bank is on track to report its first full-year profit in [financial year] 2022.”
Chairman Simon Miller said: “The successful results can be attributed to the commitment of supportive shareholders, a talented management team and dedicated employees who have built a highly rated, client-led bank.”
Earlier this month, Hampden & Co said it had hired Gill Sanders from Adam & Co as a director as the private bank goes “from strength to strength”.
Sanders, who joined as a banking director, spent more than 20 years with Adam & Co, most recently as associate director, private banking.
At Hampden & Co, she will provide clients with a “bespoke” banking service including deposits, borrowing and day-to-day banking. Sanders will report to the bank’s head of banking, Mark Prentice, and will work alongside the banking teams in Edinburgh and London.

Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras are used to competing for titles and dividing their squad into various competitions. In this scenario, time to train is scarce and, sometimes, you only rest between one game and another. But the last week was different. The elimination in the Copa do Brasil against rivals São Paulo hurt, but it had its benefits in everyday life.
Between the victory over Corinthians and the draw with Flamengo, Palmeiras had a week of preparation. Enough time not only for Abel to feel more prepared before receiving the Rubro-Negro at Allianz Parque, but to be more relaxed. In a version of peace and love that he rarely presented in São Paulo, the Portuguese gave a frank account of competitiveness, said that his wife finds him insensitive when he competes with his daughters and even, surprised, praised the refereeing.
Time to think about Fla
At the beginning of the free week, Abel Ferreira did not know if Flamengo would play with starters or reserves, if they would come in their 4-4-2 diamond or in 4-3-3. In this way, the Portuguese worked Palmeiras for all possibilities. In a week with two games, that wouldn’t be possible.
“Flamengo is a great opponent, they came in with a good team, lightly. We prepared for two situations: the diamond or the 4-3-3. I didn’t know what Dorival would do and we prepared for both scenarios. As I say, our attitude shows that we did everything to win today. I have to admit that Flamengo had more possession and dominance with the exchanges, but the great opportunities were ours”, said Abel, in a press conference.
Game ready players
In addition to more time to simulate game situations, create tactical alternatives and rehearse set pieces, Palmeiras de Abel is practically at full strength. The only absence is midfielder Jailson, with a right knee injury.
The tendency, then, is for Palmeiras to repeat their starting lineup against the vice-leader Fluminense on Saturday (27), at Maracanã, for the Brasileirão, before visiting Athletico, at Arena da Baixada, for the semifinals of the Libertadores da América. The starting 11 in the tie with Flamengo is unbeaten for the season, with four wins and two draws. Of the 55 games in 2022, only six featured Weverton, Marcos Rocha, Murilo, Gustavo Gómez and Piquerez; Danilo, Zé Rafael and Raphael Veiga; Gustavo Scarpa, Dudu and Rony.
We have to recover our athletes first. The week will be good for that, to balance and refresh the squad. We have the entire cast available with the exception of Jailson. That’s really good. We work together with the performance core, nutrition… It’s gasoline for our car, we need everything in the details. We have a great structure that helps us a lot to have athletes at the limit of their performance. I’m going to start studying Fluminense. In the summaries you can see the quality of the opponent. It’s us against them, in their stadium, and the intention doesn’t change.”
Feet on the ground
Palmeiras is the leader of the Brazilian Championship, with 49 points, and eight more than Fluminense, in second place. The next opponent is precisely Fernando Diniz’s Flu, at Maracanã. Abel Ferreira was asked during the last press conference about the “decision” against Flamengo and the expectation to now face Fluminense. Even with the good advantage in the table, the Portuguese believes in a championship resolved in the end.
“The championship will be defined on the last round, that’s how I think. I don’t look much at the classification, I want to face each game to win. We had a very difficult sequence. Atlético-MG, Corinthians, Flamengo and now Fluminense. It’s difficult for us, but for them too. It’s doing our best. We won’t go out of our way. Let’s prepare to face a great team and a great coach, with a well-implemented game idea. It’s their home, but our intentions don’t change. [Fluminense] is a team with a good mix between young and experienced and with a great coach”, he evaluated.
Used to the horns
Abel Ferreira once again mentioned his wife Ana Xavier as the main “horn” in his life. The Palmeiras coach quoted the woman when asked about the criticism from part of the fans to Raphael Veiga. Just before Veiga tied the game with Flamengo, Abel heard requests to remove the midfielder. Without being carried away by the pressure, the commander alviverde only took the player out in the final minutes.
“I took Veiga out, Veiga left (laughs). Football is magical because we all have a little bit of a coach. We all love football. The biggest bugler is my wife. She’s a fan and can talk, and I understand and accept the opinion. But it’s very difficult to be a coach. It’s not just the tactics, technique, it’s human resources management too… I took Veiga out later, Dudu too. Players are accelerators and we had to refresh. López came in and had two shots. Our fans can be absolutely sure that my players and I do everything we can to serve the club in the best way. Even in defeat, everything will be done for the job to be the best possible. On some days things don’t go away, but we keep the focus. And Veiga really left (laughs)”, he concluded.
Abel the callous
With the lighthearted atmosphere at the press conference, Abel also brought a little of his life outside the fields to punctuate his two faces: the guy who “doesn’t want to make friends within the four lines”, but who, outside of them, “you can be sure I’m cool”.
“People say in the restaurant that I’m part of everything, but my life outside is something else. I have this responsibility and I really like it. One of my computer backgrounds is this: humanist culture, with a photo of me. But competing, I have When I play with my daughters, my wife says I’m insensitive. I say life is going to hit a lot and we have to prepare. When I’m competing, I want to win. Outside, it’s another five hundred. I don’t have a problem with anyone. I’m at peace with myself and others. It’s how I think. It’s Abel man, Abel coach has another scenario.”
And the praise of refereeing
Finally, something rare. Abel, one of the most annoying coaches with refereeing, left the game happy with the referee in question. The person responsible for the tie with Flamengo was Ramon Abatti Abel.
“The referee did very well. We have to rejuvenate, give young people a chance to make a career. Quite honestly, the referee was very good, with equal criteria. I complained about a foul by Scarpa, but he didn’t score in our favor and I realized that it was a criterion. The game had three great teams.” | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/22/free-week-and-maximum-strength-create-new-weapons-for-palmeiras-de-abel/ | 2022-08-22T08:03:59Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/22/free-week-and-maximum-strength-create-new-weapons-for-palmeiras-de-abel/ | false | 1 |
The story of an enslaved woman who went to court to win her freedom more than 80 years before the Emancipation Proclamation had been pushed to the fringes of history.
A group of civic leaders, activists and historians hope that ended Sunday in the quiet Massachusetts town of Sheffield with the unveiling of a bronze statue of the woman who chose the name Elizabeth Freeman when she shed the chains of slavery 241 years ago to the day.
Her story, while remarkable, remains relatively obscure.
State Rep. William "Smitty" Pignatelli grew up not far from Sheffield in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts yet didn't hear her story until about 20 years ago. He found that many of his colleagues in the Statehouse were also largely in the dark about the significance of her case, which set the legal precedent that essentially ended slavery in Massachusetts.
"She's clearly a hidden figure in American history, and I really believe Black history is American history," said Pignatelli, a Democrat. "But unfortunately, Black history is what we haven't been told and taught."
The enslaved woman, known as Bett, could not read or write, but she listened.
And what she heard did not make sense.
While she toiled in bondage in the household of Col. John Ashley, he and other prominent citizens of Sheffield met to discuss their grievances about British tyranny. In 1773, they wrote in what are known as the Sheffield Resolves that "Mankind in a state of nature are equal, free, and independent of each other."
Those words were echoed in Article 1 of the Massachusetts Constitution in 1780, which begins "All men are born free and equal, and have certain natural, essential, and unalienable rights."
It is believed that Bett, after hearing a public reading of the constitution, walked roughly 5 miles from the Ashley household to the home of attorney Theodore Sedgwick, one of the citizens who drafted the Sheffield Resolves, and asked him to represent her in her legal quest for freedom, said Paul O'Brien, president of the Sheffield Historical Society.
Sedgwick and another attorney, Tapping Reeve, took the case.
Women had limited legal rights in Massachusetts courts at the time, so a male slave in the Ashley household named Brom was added to the case.
The jury agreed with the attorneys, freeing Bett and Brom on Aug. 21, 1781.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, and his wife, Diane, are residents of the Berkshires and have been instrumental in fundraising and organizational efforts. They led Sunday's ceremony.
"What I love about the story is that this remarkable woman, enslaved, sometimes brutalized, unable to read, listened carefully to the conversation around the table as the men she was serving discussed the concepts of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as 'inalienable rights,'" Patrick, the state's first Black governor, said in an email. "I love that this powerless woman could imagine these powerful ideas as her own, and could persuade others to test that question. And I love that the Massachusetts courts had the integrity of purpose to take her question seriously."
Pignatelli was inspired to raise a statue of Freeman last year when he attended the unveiling of a statue of Susan B. Anthony in Adams, the Berkshire County community where the suffragist was born.
He brought together stakeholders and raised about $280,000, enough money for the roughly 8-foot statue, as well as a scholarship fund in Freeman's honor for area high school students.
Gwendolyn VanSant, the CEO of BRIDGE, an area nonprofit that fosters racial understanding and equity, is overseeing the scholarships.
She called Freeman an icon and a trailblazer. "For me as an African American woman, it's amazing to be walking in her footsteps," she said.
After the court case, Ashley asked Freeman to return to his household as a paid servant, but she refused and instead went to work for Sedgwick, where she helped raise his children and was known by the affectionate name, Mumbet.
She was a healer, a nurse and a midwife, who bought her own property in nearby Stockbridge, VanSant said.
The Sedgwicks had such a deep respect for Mumbet that when she died in 1829 at about the age of 85 she was buried with them, the only non-family member in the family plot. Much of what historians know about her was written by one of Theodore Sedgwick's daughters, the novelist Catharine Maria Sedgwick, O'Brien said.
The statue, cast by renowned sculptor Brian Hanlon, was placed on the property of the First Congregational Church in Sheffield, not far from the Sedgwick home.
"We don't know if Elizabeth Freeman went to the church, but we know Ashley did, and it was common for enslavers to bring enslaved people to look after their children at church," said O'Brien.
Although some 200 people were expected to attend Sunday's unveiling, the culmination of three days of celebrations, organizers have been unable to find any of Freeman's descendants.
VanSant hopes a permanent memorial will spur interest into Freeman's story. "Maybe her descendants will find us," she said.

A United States governor met Taiwan's president Monday, days after Washington announced trade talks with Taipei in a show of support following China's military threats toward the self-ruled island.
Eric Holcomb, the Republican governor of the US state of Indiana, landed in Taiwan on Sunday for an "economic development trip".
US-China tensions have risen since Beijing staged huge military drills in retaliation for US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan earlier this month.
Taiwan lives under constant threat of an invasion by China, which claims the democratic island as part of its territory to be seized one day -- by force if necessary.
Beijing lashes out at any diplomatic action that might lend Taiwan legitimacy and has responded with growing fury to visits by western officials and politicians.
In her meeting with Holcomb on Monday, President Tsai Ing-wen directly referenced Beijing's drills and called for like-minded countries to continue supporting Taiwan.
"Presently we are facing the continued expansion of global authoritarianism," she told Holcomb.
"Taiwan has been confronted by military threats from China in and around the Taiwan Strait. At this moment democratic allies must stand together and boost cooperation across all areas," she said.
Holcomb said the United States and Taiwan "share so many common values and interests and goals".
"We will continue to seek to build a strategic partnership with you," he said.
Holcomb is also expected to meet representatives of Taiwan's world-leading semiconductor industry before leaving on Wednesday for South Korea.
Alongside South Korea, Taiwan makes some of the world's smallest and most advanced computer chips -- a commodity that is vital for electronics but in short supply worldwide.
Holcomb's visit comes on the heels of the announcement of trade talks between Washington and Taipei in the coming months as a senior US diplomat warned Beijing will continue to put pressure on Taiwan.
China has lashed out at the plans for business talks with Washington -- though it also has multiple trade deals with Taiwan, signed during years when their relations were warmer.

BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets were mostly lower Monday after China cut an interest rate that affects mortgage lending while investors looked ahead to this week’s Federal Reserve conference for signals about more possible U.S. rate hikes to cool surging inflation.
Shanghai advanced after the Chinese central bank nudged down its target rate for a five-year loan to shore up weak housing sales. Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul and Sydney retreated. Oil prices fell more than $1 per barrel.
Investors are watching the annual Fed meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for rates guidance after minutes last week from the U.S. central bank’s July board meeting affirmed plans for more increases despite signs of weaker economic activity.
Traders worry aggressive rate hikes this year by the Fed and central banks in Europe and Asia to contain inflation that is running at multi-decade highs might derail global economic growth.
“The Fed is still feeling inflation. Its actions have not even begun to dent inflationary pressures at all,” said Clifford Bennett of ACY Securities in a report. “Nor have they begun to crimp economic activity at all. The economic slowdown was already in play for other reasons.”
The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.5% to 3,272.89 while the Nikkei 225 in Tokyo sank 0.5% to 28,794.79. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong shed less than 0.2% to 19,743.12.
The Kospi in South Korea gave up 1.2% to 2,462.03 and Sydney’s S&P ASX-200 fell 0.9% to 7,051.70.
India’s Sensex opened down 1.1%, dipping to 58,992.24. New Zealand and Singapore advanced while Bangkok and Jakarta declined.
On Wall Street, the benchmark S&P 500 lost 1.3% on Friday, wiping out gains earlier in the week.
The S&P fell to 4,227.48, ending down 1.2% for the week. It is down 11.3% this year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.9% to 33,706.74. The Nasdaq composite lost 2% to 12,705.22.
Technology stocks had some of the biggest losses. Microsoft fell 1.4%. Retailers, banks and communications companies also fell.
Bright spots included General Motors, which rose 2.5% after reinstating its dividend. Foot Locker soared 20% after replacing its CEO and reporting earnings that beat forecasts.
Traders are looking ahead to more U.S. earnings reports.
The Chinese central bank lowered its Loan Prime Rate, a target for market rates, as part of efforts to shore up weak economic growth after a crackdown on debt caused a real estate slump and Shanghai and other cities were shut down to fight virus outbreaks.
The target for a five-year loan was cut by 0.15 percentage points to 4.3%. The rate for a one-year loan, which affects other industries, was lowered by only 0.05 percentage points to 3.65%.
The move “reflects the seriousness” of the real estate slump and shows Beijing is “willing to take more forceful actions,” said David Chao of Invesco in a report.
Chinese leaders are trying to revive economic growth that fell to 2.5% over a year earlier in the first half of 2022, less than half their annual target of 5.5%, without using across-the-board stimulus that might push up inflation or politically sensitive housing costs.
In energy markets, benchmark U.S. crude lost $1.19 to $89.25 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the price basis for international trading, shed $1.18 to $95.54 per barrel in London.

T’gana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay under fire for picking Amit Shah’s shoes at temple
After Shah came out of the temple, Sanjay was seen rushing to the shoe stand to pick up the former’s footwear and place it at his feet
Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Bandi Sanjay courted controversy after he was seen picking up Union home minister Amit Shah’s footwear and placing it at the latter’s feet during a visit to the Sri Ujjaini Mahakali temple in Secunderabad on Sunday evening.
Shah flew down to Hyderabad to take part in a public rally in Munugode marking the induction of former Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy into the BJP.
After Shah came out of the temple, Sanjay was seen rushing to the shoe stand. The video that went viral on social media evoked sharp criticism from the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and even the Congress.
“Telangana BJP state president MP Bandi Sanjay rushing to give foot-ware to his colleague MP Amit Shah! Gulamgiri at its best,” tweeted TRS social media convenor Y Satish Reddy on Twitter.
“Does placing the footwear at the feet of Gujarati leaders reflect the self-respect of Telangana?” asked TRS official spokesman Manne Krishank.
TRS working president and state IT minster KT Rama Rao said Sanjay “mortgaged the self-respect of Telangana before the leaders from Gujarat and New Delhi”.
“Telangana is keenly observing the actions of such leaders,” KTR, chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s son, said, adding that the Telangana society would thwart the attempts of such leaders.

Telangana Congress secretary in-charge Manickam Tagore too slammed Sanjay for the act.
“Telangana BJP president Sanjay Bandi takes the shoes of Amit Shah… Telugu Vari Atma Gouravam (Self-respect of Telugus)… What’s the position of Backward Class leader in BJP, see the truth.. (sic),” Tagore tweeted.
Sanjay was not available for comment as he was on a padayatra.
In a separate tweet, KTR also lashed out at Shah for describing the chief minister as anti-farmer. “It’s the joke of the century,” KTR said. “Who copied the Chief Minister’s brainchild Rythu Bandhu and rebranded it as PM-KISAN. Who apologized to the farmers of the nation after facing their wrath over farm laws; after losing 700 valuable lives (sic),” he asked.
On Shah’s comment that the Telangana government was implementing the Centre’s Fasal Bima Yojana, the minister said, “Earlier, the BJP government in Gujarat too had rejected this scheme of NPA Government and opted out. If it is not good for your own state Gujarat, then how is it good for Telangana. What absurd hypocrisy is this?” he asked. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/tgana-bjp-chief-bandi-sanjay-under-fire-for-picking-amit-shah-s-shoes-at-temple-101661156891435-amp.html | 2022-08-22T08:46:39Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/tgana-bjp-chief-bandi-sanjay-under-fire-for-picking-amit-shah-s-shoes-at-temple-101661156891435-amp.html | false | 3 |
The Conversation goes deeper, here's how
“What is The Conversation?”
That was the question put to Alastair Campbell on a widely subscribed podcast called The Rest is History that he presents. The former British Prime Minister’s spokesperson had been championing our work.
I was delighted that he finds great value in the expertise we bring to the news cycle, but also that, when asked if The Conversation was “a blog”, he said no, apparently recognising that what is produced is cultivated and curated. The discussion also made me think about how we describe ourselves in our newsletters and onsite. “News by experts” is one succinct phrase we use that probably best outlines the unique nature of the content we produce with our university partners.
Going beyond that though, I think it’s worth pointing out, both to newcomers and regular readers of The Conversation, that all the content we publish involves the active intellectual and creative engagement of at least two professional editors. The ideas for the articles are influenced by, and often come from, those specialist editors, based around the world. They have knowledge of leading researchers and reach out to them daily for their thoughts on events, and information regarding upcoming academic publications that can form the basis of journalistic projects.
Sometimes those project are articles, reacting to rolling news. But The Conversation also generates news derived from often lengthy research projects, by pairing editors with those driving the studies as they are taking place. This can see academic research shaping news agendas across multiple media outlets, and informing policy regarding some of the key issues facing our planet today. A recent example of this was our focus on children born to UN peacekeeping forces in the DRC, which featured as a news package in The Times (London) last week. The article was the product of a years-long partnership with a group of academics.
The Conversation will produce more work of this type in the months ahead, committing editorial resources to producing content that not only illuminates, but drives debate and change. We hope you continue to value what we do, and, like Mr Campbell, tell friends and colleagues about it. One way of doing so, is by encouraging them to sign up for a free, trusted, accessible publication, that, “goes deeper” than many others.

Can Florida Keys teachers make time to chill out in a ‘zen’ room? Their bosses hope so
Where can a hard-working teacher in the Florida Keys find a moment of peace during the school day?
Welcome to the Wellness Room, a spot with relaxation gear such as massage chairs, low lighting, comfortable seats, sound or water fountain machines, and on the side tables a few succulents and electric candles.
The concept is simple — create a space for Monroe County School District teachers, and all staff, to take a breather during a stressful workday.
You won’t confuse one of these rooms with a luxury spa, and several were set up in teacher break rooms. But they’re built with a similar intention.
“My favorite is one of the recliners,” said Cyndi Seiler, 59, a teacher’s aide at Poinciana Elementary in Key West. “We get a lunch break, so this is where we come. It’s quiet and you can relax. You get to decompress in here.”
Seiler will spend her lunch break in the lounge, and take time for one of the recliners that doubles as a massage chair. Poinciana’s space has cellphone chargers built into a sofa, and blue-sky-and-cloud-decorated panels that cover the harsh fluorescent lights above.
‘Your health comes first’
Seven public schools in the Keys now have the zen rooms, adding $200 recliners and the laid-back decor to teacher lounges because space is tight on campus.
“A place to recharge between classes,” the school district described the rooms in a Facebook post. “They will enjoy a zen-like experience.”
https://www.facebook.com/mymcsd/posts/pfbid02QhJKrnCd8tYh433XchS2sLTi25cQGWnDbbVN6kLBWPQNZjCH73iSPxrDACCtfnfjl
Monroe County schools, where the starting salary for a Keys teacher is $51,800 a year, are short about 18 teachers and 17 aides. Schools have long been harried places for teachers, staff and students. But with the pandemic still hovering and the Keys housing crisis only worsening, next-level stress abounds.
So does a teacher swamped with paperwork and lesson plans and, likely in the Keys, working a second job have time to kick back in a massage recliner?
“We’re not saying give up your planning period,” said Nicole Smith, one of three assistant principals at Key West’s Horace O’Bryant School, which has 150 staff members that include 88 teachers.
School employees would be helping their students by making time for a wellness break, Smith said, even if it’s for 15 minutes.
“If it means taking a few minutes and regrouping versus taking a day off, I’m going to err on taking a few minutes and using that relaxation room,” said Smith, who came in over the summer to finish setting up the rooms, which included painting a wall.
Smith said she hasn’t used the room yet in the first days of school. And, after working 25 years in public education, which includes a decade in the Keys, she identifies with any teacher who is skeptical.
“As a teacher, I was one of those people,” she said. “I worked all day. ... That’s not the best way to teach.”
A contract gives teachers a 30-minute break during the day, and that is when staff and faculty are encouraged to dip into the Wellness Room.
“Your health definitely has to come first,” Smith said. “It’s not being used a lot right away but it’s definitely there and it’s definitely available.”
DIY wellness rooms
The seven rooms were funded by a grant from the Knight Foundation and developed in partnership with the nonprofit Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition. No school district money was spent.
The Wellness Rooms were a do-it-yourself project at Horace O’Bryant School, Poinciana Elementary, Gerald Adams Elementary and Key West High School, all in Key West. Marathon Middle/High School and Stanley Switlik Elementary in the Middle Keys city of Marathon have them, along with Key Largo School in the Upper Keys.
Staff put together furniture, painted walls and decorated on their own time, spending weekends getting them ready before school started in Monroe County on Aug. 10.
“I put these chairs together myself,” said Erin Williams, the district’s coordinator of student support, while showing the Poinciana wellness space to a visitor. Principal Tara Whitehead was part of the work crew.
At Horace O’Bryant, the Wellness Room is in a special spot: The “Purple Room” got its nickname for having purple furniture back in the day.
“The Purple Room is a new, quaint little oasis tucked away in the HOB media room,” said Laura Dockery, who teaches sixth-grade social studies at the school. “When you enter the room, you’ll see electric lighted candles and hear the soft sound of falling water. There are comfy recliners and relaxing massage lounge chairs.”
Dockery, who has been teaching for 12 years and is in her second year at the K-8 Horace O’Bryant, said it’s a place to escape from stress, even for a brief spell.
“Just be mindful of your time, as you’ll want to stay all day,” she joked.
‘We want to show them we care’
Sugarloaf School, Plantation Key School and Coral Shores High School don’t have a chill room yet.
“The hard part is finding the useful space,” Williams said. “We don’t take any space away from kids. This is why we use lounges. They can sit in these hard chairs, or they can come chill out.”
The Wellness Rooms started off as a pilot project at Switlik Elementary last school year. Williams sought additional rooms for the 2022-2023 school year.
““People are doing multiple jobs and it’s gotten very stressful,” Williams said. “It’s been getting that way for years. The pandemic exacerbated it, obviously. It’s a stressful profession to begin with and it’s just progressively getting worse.”
The Keys school district promotes healthy living and wellness for employees, Williams said, encouraging people to pursue meditation or exercise.
“We can talk until we’re blue in the face,” Williams said. “But until we give them a space to actually do it, it’s not going to happen. We want to really show them, not just tell them that we care..” | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/florida-keys-teachers-time-chill-083000626.html?src=rss | 2022-08-22T08:50:32Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/florida-keys-teachers-time-chill-083000626.html?src=rss | true | 1 |

FORT MILL, S.C., March 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diversey Holdings, Ltd. ("Diversey") DSEY announced fourth quarter and full year results with continued top line growth and margin expansion.
- Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $35.7 million for the fourth quarter and $174.8 million for full-year 2021
- Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA grew 13.7% over the prior year period to $109.5 million
- Full-year Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.2% over the prior year to $410.1 million
- Revenues increased approximately 1% to $672.4 million in the fourth quarter and were approximately flat at $2.62 billion for the full-year 2021, compared to prior year periods
- Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 190 bps over the prior year quarter to 16.3%
- Full year Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 40 bps over the prior year to 15.7%
"We delivered another quarter of sequential and year-over-year growth in sales and adjusted EBITDA margin as the market supported our need to take pricing increases given the value placed on our products and services," said Phil Wieland, Diversey's Chief Executive Officer. "This helped us overcome a challenging environment marked by significant raw material and freight cost increases. We are very proud of our team's ongoing ability to execute, win new customers and deliver for our shareholders. Our building pipeline of new wins drove growth in our Food and Beverage business. Our base Institutional revenue, excluding infection prevention, grew 17% in the fourth quarter and we are energized by the fact that we anticipate recapturing more than $220 million of recovery as countries and businesses reopen over time. We also are excited that our infection prevention business remains more than 20% ahead of pre-COVID 2019 levels. As we head into 2022, significant global macro challenges remain, but we are confident that Diversey is well positioned to deliver annual double-digit adjusted EBITDA percentage growth long-term once the current challenges recede during 2022."
(1) See the "Non-GAAP Financial Information and Segment Adjusted EBITDA" section herein for explanations of these financial measures.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Consolidated Results
Net sales increased 0.7% versus prior year or 2.1% when adjusting for currency and acquisitions. Both the Institutional and F&B segments are showing positive momentum. The F&B segment continues to win new customers and grow revenue while improving margins. The recovery of base Institutional revenue is progressing well and the segment continues to win new customers, with significant recovery still ahead as reopenings progress around the world. Institutional infection prevention is still more than 20% above pre-pandemic levels even with the significant normalization related to the strong growth experienced in 2020. Consolidated reported net sales were 2.1% above pre-COVID 2019 baseline.
Loss before taxes of $17.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 included Special Items (as defined below) impact of $59.0 million and compared to loss before taxes of $86.5 million in fourth quarter 2020 including Special Items impact of $100.2 million. Adjusted net income in fourth quarter 2021 was $51.2 million compared to $27.7 million in the same quarter 2020 and $15.7 million in fourth quarter 2019 with Adjusted EPS of $0.16 in fourth quarter 2021 compared to $0.11 in fourth quarter 2020 and $0.06 same quarter 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA for fourth quarter 2021 was $109.5 million, representing growth of 13.7% versus the period in 2020 and 16.1% versus pre-COVID 2019. In a challenging environment, Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 190 basis points compared to the same period 2020 and 200 basis points versus fourth quarter 2019. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.3% in fourth quarter 2021 continues the strong sequential margin improvement experienced throughout 2021.
Segment Review
Institutional
Reported net sales in the Institutional segment of $486.9 million were 3.5% below Q4 2020 and 2.4% below Q4 2019. The recovery of the base Institutional business continues to be encouraging, with strong growth over Q4 2020 from new business wins, innovation, pricing and reopening in some markets. However, this was more than offset by infection prevention revenue normalization versus very strong gains last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin grew 120 basis points vs Q4 2020 and 70 basis points vs Q4 2019 from ongoing efficiency initiatives.
Food & Beverage
The Food & Beverage segment sales continues to grow along with expanding margins. Net sales of $185.5 million increased 14.0% in fourth quarter 2021 versus prior year and 16.4% compared to the same period in 2019. This was driven by very high win rates and success with the new water treatment offering. Adjusted EBITDA of $32.4 million grew 15.7% compared to the same 2020 period and 14.1% compared to the same 2019 period. Margin improved 30 basis points versus the prior year and was only 30 basis points below fourth quarter of pre-COVID 2019 due to successful pricing actions and cost control measures that were started prior to the global pandemic offset ongoing cost inflation. Acquisitions contributed $8.3 million to sales growth and $1.1 million to Adjusted EBITDA.
Outlook
Diversey expects revenue to grow by high single digit percent from full year 2021 revenue of approximately $2.62 billion. This reflects post-COVID recovery, pricing, accelerating new business and M&A.
Diversey continues to operate in a challenging environment, which is further impacted by the conflict in Ukraine. The Company previously anticipated that these challenges would persist through the first half of 2022 and begin to show improvement towards the back half of the year. However, in light of concerns related to the impact on oil and oil-linked raw materials, the Company is including an additional $25-35M for an estimated adverse impact of oil prices on the business. Accordingly, the Company's 2022 Adjusted EBITDA guidance is $380 to $420 million. This guidance range is also inclusive of approximately $30 million Adjusted EBITDA headwind in the first quarter 2022 related to the normalization of $70 million of infection prevention revenue. While the Company is confident it can continue to address these challenges over time through pricing and rigorous cost management, it will be dependent on the timing in which the current inflationary and cost pressures begin to abate and the impact of further actions to mitigate.
Diversey is managing this business for the long-term and remains confident that it is positioned to maintain its targeted goal of double-digit percentage Adjusted EBITDA growth. The business model has shown its resiliency during the past few years and management is encouraged by the ongoing recovery in its institutional base business it continues to build as the markets around the globe stabilize and reopen. This outlook assumes that for the balance of the year there is a moderation of inflation by the end of the year, pricing increases continue to be taken as necessary and country reopenings progress. As the Company enters 2023 it should benefit from sustained price increases, a new plant in the United States, and continued growth of new business.
While it is not management's intention to provide quarterly guidance going forward, given the timing of when Diversey is reporting, the challenges with inflation and year over year comparison, the Company is providing a revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outlook for the first quarter. At this time, the Company expects revenue to be approximately flat versus first quarter 2021, driven by the last quarterly headwind of infection prevention normalization. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter is expected to be $56 to $60 million, assuming no further changes in the current environment the last three weeks of the quarter. This outlook reflects approximately 7% to 15% growth over the first quarter 2019 and is similar to the pre-pandemic phasing of Diversey's business for the first quarter relative to the remainder of the year. The first quarter 2022 will be the final year over year comparison challenge from the normalization of infection prevention in the Institutional segment.

While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
We present financial information that conforms to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). We also present financial information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP ("Non-GAAP"), as our management believes it is useful to investors.
The Non-GAAP financial metrics exclude items that we consider to be certain specified items ("Special Items"), such as restructuring charges, transition and transformation costs, certain transaction and other charges related to acquisitions and divestitures, gains and losses related to acquisitions and divestitures, and certain other items. We evaluate unusual or Special Items on an individual basis. Our evaluation of whether to exclude an unusual or Special Item for purposes of determining our Non-GAAP financial measures considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including among other things (i) its nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to our ongoing business operations, and (iii) whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as income (loss) before income tax provisions (benefit), interest expense, and depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, as EBITDA adjusted for other items to (i) eliminate certain non-operating income or expense items, (ii) eliminate the impact of certain non-cash and other items that are included in net income (loss) that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and (iii) eliminate certain unusual and non-recurring items impacting results in a particular period.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, net income (loss), income (loss) before income tax provision or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor should they be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our method of calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the methods used by other companies.
Our management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key indicators of our financial performance. Additionally, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. We also believe that investors, analysts and rating agencies consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA useful means of measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations and evaluating our financial performance, and management uses these measures for one or more of these purposes. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA instead of net income has limitations as an analytical tool.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income (as defined below) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("Adjusted EPS") are Non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted to (i) eliminate certain non-operating income or expense items, (ii) eliminate the impact of certain non-cash and other items that are included in net income that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, (iii) eliminate certain unusual and non-recurring items impacting results in a particular period, and (iv) reflect the tax effect of items (i) through (iii) and other tax special items.
We believe that in addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are useful in evaluating our business, results of operations and financial condition. We believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and facilitate period to period comparisons of our operations and financial results, as they eliminate the effects of certain variables from period to period for reasons that we do not believe reflect our underlying operating performance or are unusual or infrequent in nature. However, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute or alternative for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS have limitations as analytical tools.

Last week, the Acting Governor flagged off the scale 3.0 of Covid-19 vaccination. What is it all about?
If you recall, last year in March, there was a national flag off of the Covid-19 vaccination, which subsequently all states also did. We flagged off with our governor and other Executive Council members and since then, we have been having various campaigns. The scale strategy is designed to reach all citizens that are eligible – that is 18 years and above – with Covid-19 vaccination. This is the 3rd iteration, and therefore it is called 3.0. It is designed to beef up our national coverage to about 70%. As you know, the more people receive the vaccine, the more the whole population is protected. So, the target of scale 3.0 is to take this coverage up to 70%. Kaduna state has recorded about 61% of eligible citizens have received at least one dose of vaccine. And about 37% to 40% have received two doses and are fully vaccinated. About 75,000 have received the booster dose. So, with the Scales 3.0 campaign, we aim to have more accountability, more community engagement, and more monitoring, so that we can reach that target.
There has been a reported spike in Covid cases between June and July. What must have accounted for this increase in the number of infections? We thought that we have achieved herd immunity because many people have been vaccinated and so infections are expected to be low.
As you know, the more people who are not vaccinated get infected, the more the chances of the virus mutating. So, that is the reason for the vaccination drive. We have not reached herd immunity, but we are near there. The survey that was conducted last year, just puts us around 25% of the people that have been exposed to Covid infection. So, vaccination is designed to increase the protection against the virus and reaching herd immunity; we are working on that. But before then, people still have to take precautions and you know that we are not immune—the rest of the world is in the grip of spikes and people travel from one place to the other.
An alarm was raised two months ago, by Lagos state, when they saw a spike in cases. And this is what we have noticed; people are getting infected, but they are not getting very ill. This maybe because some of them have had at least one dose of vaccination and some are fully vaccinated or they may have had the infection, so if they get infected again, the symptoms are less, they are not very ill and we haven’t seen more people getting severe disease or more deaths. But, we are emphasizing on vaccination and protection to prevent the possibility of the virus mutating to something more deadly, or a strain that escapes the protection from the current vaccines and we may then start having another pandemic. So, that is why we are very particular about people going out and getting vaccinated. These vaccines have been found to be safe and effective, and protect people from getting severe disease and from dying. And I think we should avail ourselves to it since they are free.
It seems like emphasis is being placed more on vaccination instead of prevention. Will it not roll back the gains of the vaccination, if people don’t wash their hands regularly with running water, if they don’t wear face masks, observe social distancing, if they don’t eat balanced diets and exercise?
There has never been a de-emphasis on public health measures. They have been there, and they are being emphasized at every phase of the campaign. The Presidential Technical Team on Covid-19 has still not lifted the ban on wearing masks in public places. What they said was that if you are in a crowded place, in an enclosed space, you should wear your mask. The need for hand washing has been there even before Covid-19, for centuries. It has been known to prevent illnesses that are water borne or food borne diseases. So, these public health measures were never stopped. Vaccination was only used in conjunction with public health measures because the two will make you more protected. So, because you are vaccinated doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t wash your hands regularly, especially when you touch surfaces or people. The FORWARD Campaign is still as relevant, not just for Covid-19 but for other diseases that may be food or air borne. People need to eat balanced diets to make sure they boost their immunity.
The one that is not practiced much is the social distancing. Well, masking? You still see people wearing masks, those that are very conscious about their health. You see them with their masks, when they are in a crowded place, they put them on. And this is what we encourage. If you are in an enclosed space and in a crowd, it is good to wear your mask.
From your explanation, you seem to agree that people have lowered their guard regarding public health measures. What is your ministry doing to sensitize people on the need to observe them?
Well, it is natural. This is the second year that we had the Covid pandemic. We are social beings, and we interact with each other and so we just keep reminding people. Before it was masking everywhere but now we recognize that some people have been vaccinated and some have gotten the disease. The numbers have gone down because of the double tools of public health measures and the vaccination. But it doesn’t mean that because you are vaccinated, you will not be infected. A classical example is President Joe Biden of the United States. He had four doses of vaccines, and he still got it. So, vaccination doesn’t guarantee you not being infected by the virus but that you are protected against severe disease or death. Again, some people’s immune system is so strong that they may not get it, some people will be infected but they will get a milder form of it. And this is what the vaccine promised. The vaccine did not promise a cure. Being vaccinated guarantees that if you get the disease, it will be mild. And that means you will be protecting people that may be high risk.
So, we haven’t forgotten to remind people. We are still emphasizing and appealing to people to always observe all the public health measures—hand washing, masking in crowded and enclosed places where there isn’t a lot of air circulating. And especially when people have symptoms. If I have a cold and I’m coughing and sneezing, not just for Covid, it is good to restrict the number of people that can get my cold, even if it is not Covid. And masking helps with that. So, we haven’t stopped reminding people that these public health measures are important, and the most important thing is that we don’t get another mutant variant that we all cannot handle. I’m sure nobody wants to go back to lockdown.
As the government is scaling up in the vaccination, is there a step up in testing?
Yes, in the last few weeks, we had support from WHO and almost 50,000 people have been tested. And may be, that may account for some of the spikes. So many people are asymptomatic. We did some testing in the communities and test the corps members who are coming from other parts of the country. Some of them are positive. But like I said, it’s a milder disease; we are probably dealing with the same strain of the virus or even a weaker strain that has mutated. The way the virus mutates, it can become weaker or stronger. And we think that it may have probably become weaker or the vaccines are protecting people from the disease. So, it is very important for people to take the vaccines. They are there, they are free and they are available. And during this testing drive, we also use the opportunity to vaccinate people in the communities. So, people should go to their health facilities for the vaccines and we have mobile teams going round. And we have teams that are in places of high traffic. We are almost there. The other group that we will appeal to are those that have taken their first dose but have not taken their second dose.
What of those who have taken their first and second doses but haven’t taken the third booster dose?
They are all available for everybody, the more doses you take, the stronger your immunity.
Can one take more than three doses?
We have just received the guidance from National Primary Healthcare Development Agency(NPHDA) that four months after your first booster, you are eligible to have another booster. But we encourage this for people that have underlining conditions and also in the elderly because their immune system is not as strong. It is open, people can go and do it but we particularly encourage people that have comorbidities, that have diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, those who have cancer.
Are people still skeptical of the vaccine?
We had an issue with hesitancy in the beginning. We still have pockets of that but by and large, now that more people have had the vaccination and they have not had any ill effects, people now think it is safe. So, more and more people are taking it. From our records, more than 61% of the eligible population in the state have taken at least one dose. So, whatever reservations that they had, they have realized that it is not tenable. People who have taken the vaccine have not experienced any side effects, apart from the normal side effect that they may have, which is a little bit of feverishness and pain on the site. This is common for most vaccines.

Abstract
PURPOSE: Falls are a modifiable source of morbidity for older adults with cancer, yet are underassessed in oncology practice. In this secondary analysis of a nationwide cluster-randomized controlled trial, we examined characteristics associated with patient-oncologist conversations about falls, and whether oncologist knowledge of geriatric assessment (GA) resulted in more conversations. METHODS: Eligible patients (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02107443) were age ≥ 70 years, had stage III/IV solid tumor or lymphoma, were being treated with noncurative treatment intent, and ≥ 1 GA domain impairment. Patients in both arms underwent GA. At practices randomly assigned to the intervention arm, oncologists were provided a GA summary with management recommendations. In both arms, patients had one clinical encounter audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded to categorize whether a conversation about falls occurred. Generalized linear mixed models adjusted for arm, practice site, and other important covariates were used to generate proportions and odds ratios (ORs) from the full sample. RESULTS: Of 541 patients (intervention N = 293 and usual care N = 248, mean age: 77 years, standard deviation: 5.3), 528 had evaluable audio recordings. More patients had conversations about falls in the intervention versus usual care arm (61.3% v 10.3%, P <.001). Controlling for the intervention and practice site, history of falls (OR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.3 to 3.6; P =.005) and impaired physical performance (OR, 4.7; 95% CI, 1.7 to 12.8; P =.002) were significantly associated with patient-oncologist conversations about falls. CONCLUSION: GA intervention increased conversations about falls. History of falls and impaired physical performance were associated with patient-oncologist conversations about falls in community oncology practice.

Manchester City have won four of the last five top-flight titles with Jurgen Klopp's side puncturing the streak with the Reds' first league success in 30 years in 2020. On two other occasions, Liverpool have finished one point behind Pep Guardiola's side. missing out on the title both times on the last day of the season.
But former Arsenal and England star Wright has insisted that despite City's dominance of the past five years, without the Reds, the Premier League could be nothing more than a procession.

Speaking bluntly in a Q&A session for OTB Sports, he said: "If you look at Liverpool - I thought Fulham were amazing on the first day against Liverpool. They put the pressure on Liverpool and the reason they did that is because you that Liverpool, who have chased down a Man City side that are imperious - if it wasn't for Liverpool this ****ing league would be s***.
"Simply because they (City) have beat them on two occasions by one point. And they (Liverpool in another season) hammered them out of sight. If it wasn't for Liverpool it would be a procession."
The phenomenal consistency of City under Guardiola means the Reds have to deliver a near-perfect season every time just to keep pace. As such, Liverpool got their latest campaign off to a slow start by drawing their first two matches against Fulham and Crystal Palace, while City racked up two straight wins.
But frustrated supporters will have been given a boost after the defending champions dropped two points against Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon, offering Liverpool the opportunity to regain early ground when they face arch rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday evening.

P&O CRUISES AUSTRALIA’S FLAGSHIP PACIFIC EXPLORER IS SET TO BECOME THE FIRST CRUISE SHIP TO RETURN T
P&O CRUISES AUSTRALIA’S FLAGSHIP PACIFIC EXPLORER IS SET TO BECOME THE FIRST CRUISE SHIP TO RETURN TO NEW CALEDONIA AND THE LOYALTY ISLANDS FOLLOWING THE PANDEMIC.
Guests sailing from Sydney on 1 October on a nine-night itinerary have been advised that they will now make history as New Caledonia reopens its maritime borders to cruise tourism.
However, the same guests were also advised that Vanuatu is not quite ready to reopen to cruise calls, resulting in the line cancelling scheduled calls to Mystery Island and Port Vila.
Pacific Explorer will make an overnight call to Noumea accompanied by local celebrations to mark the return of cruising followed by a call to Lifou in the Loyalty Islands.
P&O’s flagship has already achieved a number of milestones as the first cruise ship to return to Sydney on 18 April, the first cruise ship back to Brisbane and, more recently, the first to return to New Zealand and Fiji.

“As our own return to service gathers pace the South Pacific is reconnecting with cruise tourism knowing how important its contribution is to island economies,” said Marguerite Fitzgerald, president of P&O Cruises Australia.
“WITH NEW CALEDONIA COMING BACK ONLINE, P&O IS ONCE AGAIN WIDENING ITS CRUISING HORIZONS AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO VANUATU REOPENING ITS MARITIME BORDERS TO CRUISE SHIPS BEFORE TOO LONG.
“Our positive relationships with these countries have been built up over decades and there is shared confidence and trust in what we do.”
Guests have also been advised of specific New Caledonia requirements including that to sail on the cruise all guests must hold international travel insurance with cover for cruising and COVID-19 along with the possibility of being subject to further Covid-19 testing prior to disembarking. | https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/po-cruises-australias-flagship-pacific-explorer-is-set-to-become-the-first/ | 2022-08-22T09:22:48Z | https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/po-cruises-australias-flagship-pacific-explorer-is-set-to-become-the-first/ | true | 1 |

Some women wore black funeral attire and sported flower crowns. Other people in the procession in Buenos Aires carried a huge coffin.
But this funeral procession in the Argentine capital was not honouring a person.
Instead, it was to mourn the “death” of wages of Argentine workers in a country where inflation is expected to hit 90 per cent by the end of this year, eating up workers' purchasing power despite years of government attempts to curb price increases.
“The situation for the workers is devastating. Before the middle of the month, we don't have any more salary, it's not enough,” Melisa Gargarello, a representative of the Front of Organisations in Struggle (FOL), the protest's organiser, said.
One protester carried a “clinical history” for Argentine wages, a chart showing how inflation has eaten up the value of pay cheques.
While much of the world is battling high single-digit inflation this year, Argentina's struggles are in a different category.
“The pay cheque has died” read a banner in the symbolic procession, which toured the main streets of Buenos Aires and ended in front of the Presidential Palace.
The flower crowns worn by women carried the message “RIP the minimum wage”.
The country's official monthly minimum wage stands at 45,540 Argentine pesos ($334), while a basic food basket for a family of two adults and two children costs more than twice that amount at 111,298 pesos ($817), according to the national statistics institute Indec.
Years of political efforts to curb inflation have done little to abate price increases, and in July the country registered its highest inflation rate in 20 years.
The latest effort involves the appointment of a new economy minister, Sergio Massa, who has been granted expanded powers to try to tame inflation.
Argentines have dubbed him a “superminister”.
“Today, we are holding a symbolic funeral for wages, which we have to say expresses the situation that all workers in Argentina are experiencing,” said FOL's Maximiliano Maita. | https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/economy/2022/08/21/argentine-workers-hold-symbolic-funeral-to-mourn-the-death-of-wages/ | 2022-08-22T09:26:14Z | https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/economy/2022/08/21/argentine-workers-hold-symbolic-funeral-to-mourn-the-death-of-wages/ | true | 6 |
Jurgen Klopp has joked that Mohamed Salah “found a right foot on holiday” during the summer of 2022, with the Liverpool forward showing at the start of the current campaign that he is not solely reliant on a fearsome left boot. Said limb has done plenty of damage across five memorable years at Anfield that have delivered Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup honours alongside three Golden Boots.
Opponents have been aware of Salah’s most dangerous weapon, but containing him has proved impossible at times and the Egyptian superstar is now looking to add another string to his bow as he becomes an even more complete performer.
How strong is Mohamed Salah’s right foot?
The 30-year-old forward tends to deliver most of his goals and assists with his left boot, but he has clearly been working on other areas of his game, with Klopp telling Sky Sports of a summer that saw Salah commit to a new contract with Liverpool: “I think he found a right foot on holiday!
“He always develops. It's really crazy. I know a few years back he arrived and usually when a player comes from outside inside they use the inside of the foot to spin the ball and all of a sudden he had the full throttle - the Chelsea goal is a pretty remarkable one.
“This year he arrived with crosses with his right foot.”

— GOAL (@goal) August 6, 2022
Is there more to come from Mohamed Salah?
Salah hit 31 goals for Liverpool across all competitions last season, matching his return from 2020-21.
He now has 158 efforts for the Reds to his name from 257 appearances, with the record books rewritten following a transfer from Roma in the summer of 2017.
Salah will be sticking around on Merseyside for another three years, after penning fresh terms, and Klopp believes there is even more to come from a man that has been included among the nominees for the 2022 Ballon d’Or.
The German tactician added: “He's obviously a top professional and he really tries to add on things into his game.
“He is a top, top, top striker and with the numbers he had, not only scoring-wise but assisting-wise as well, it's big.”
Salah will be hoping to be among the goals again on Monday when Liverpool, who have opened the current campaign with back-to-back draws, take in a meeting with arch-rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford. | https://www.goal.com/en-ug/news/salah-found-right-foot-on-holiday-klopp-liverpool-complete/blt4a54f9e5d30957fa | 2022-08-22T09:30:39Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ug/news/salah-found-right-foot-on-holiday-klopp-liverpool-complete/blt4a54f9e5d30957fa | true | 10 |
Eric Alvarez remembered what it felt like to hear his fiance was coming home from prison: overwhelming relief.
Alvarez has heart trouble and he's struggled to take care of his four kids and his fiance's daughter through their long separation. When Eva Cardoza returned from the federal correctional institution in Danbury, Connecticut, she shouldered a lot of burdens.
"She was doing everything at home. She was cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, helping them with homework," Alvarez said.
More than 11,000 people like Cardoza have been released from federal prison in the last couple of years, to ride out the pandemic at home, often with their families and loved ones. But that situation can be precarious.
In June 2021, Alvarez and Cardoza took a 90-minute cab ride into the Bronx, so she could meet with staffers in charge of her supervision. Cardoza, who had tested positive for marijuana, never came out of the building. Alvarez ended up forking out $433 to cover the hours the taxi meter ran as he waited in vain.
Cardoza's return to prison turned the family upside down. She's now been back at Danbury for 14 months. Alvarez said she never got the chance to explain herself or challenge that single positive drug test.
"That's just mind boggling to me," Alvarez said. "Where is the judicial system? Where is the fairness? Where is the 50-50? I don't see it."
Less than 0.2% of the people released committed new crimes while they were out
This week, the Bureau of Prisons told NPR that 442 people who were released during the pandemic have now returned to prison. Only 17 people out of more than 11,000 who were released committed new crimes, mostly drug related ones, while they were out. More than half, some 230 people including Eva Cardoza, got sent back for alleged alcohol or drug use. Other cases involved technical violations.
Sakira Cook of the racial justice group Color of Change explained what that means.
"It could be as simple as failing to answer the phone when your probation officer calls you. It could be as simple as the ankle monitor giving an incorrect signal about your location," Cook said.
Cook has personal experience with that last problem: a relative recently left federal prison on home confinement, only to get an ankle monitor that didn't work. Fortunately, she said, the probation officer understood the situation.
Kevin Ring advocates for people in prison and their families at the group FAMM, formerly known as Families Against Mandatory Minimums.
"In a normal circumstance, somebody who violates the terms of their home confinement is sent back to the halfway house or to prison, but the stakes are much lower," Ring said. "They're only going back for a month or two."
But some of the people released from prison under the bipartisan pandemic legislation called the Cares Act have years remaining on their prison terms.
"Is it really worth sending people back for years because they missed a phone call or they had alcohol in their urine?" Ring asked.
Hoping for due process as a judge rules the current procedures are unconstitutional
Most of the monitoring of people on home confinement is being done by private contractors, said Quinnipiac University School of Law professor Sarah Russell.
"There can be a lot of room for miscommunications and misunderstandings," Russell said.
Russell said that's all the more reason to ensure due-process rights for people at risk of being sent back: the opportunity to see the evidence against them and to have a hearing before a neutral arbiter.
Last week, one of Russell's clients won those rights in court. The decision by Judge Omar Williams is the first in the nation to hold that the current process for returning people to federal prison after home confinement is un-constitutional.
Russell said her other clients — moms with young children-- are still nervous about having to leave their lives behind unexpectedly.
"My real hope is that this gets addressed at the national level through the Bureau of Prisons and through the Department of Justice," Russell said. "They have a real opportunity to set clear procedures and criteria."
More lawsuits from people returned to prison are under way. The Bureau of Prisons said it can't talk about that pending litigation. But it is considering a new federal rule to make the process more clear.
For Eric Alvarez, 46, that can't come too soon. He's been diagnosed with colon cancer--the same disease that took his uncle years ago.
"And my heart is not up to par to take this kind of abuse and now I'm going through it on my own," he said. "It's just I'm afraid that I'm going to die alone."
Alvarez talks to his fiance in prison on the phone, or with video calls. But he said it's not the same as having her home.

Call the Midwife is one of the UK's most popular shows. Now in its eleventh season, the good news for fans is that it has already been renewed for seasons 12 and 13.
The BBC hit is set in Poplar, East London, and features some seriously iconic British actors - although it can be hard to recognise them under their veils. One big name who stared in the first four series before just seeming to disappear from the show was Miranda Hart.
Hart, best known for her iconic show Miranda, played Chummy Browne in the BBC drama from 2012 to 2015. However, she left the show as her character went to work in another mother and baby unit show very suddenly with fans left asking why.
Eventually it was revealed by creator and writer Heidi Thomas that Hart left due to conflicting schedules. Thomas did reveal that if Hart ever wanted to return they'd be more than happy to have her.
She said: "The creative team at Call the Midwife remain extremely close to Miranda, and hugely value the contribution Chummy made to the first four series of the show. Sadly, the timing wasn't right for her to return in 2016, but the door is always open. We would welcome her with open arms should she ever be free and want to come back to Nonnatus House."
Even before Call The Midwife, Hart kept the nation entertained with her self-titled sitcom where she played a clumsy shop owner. The sitcom ran from 2009 to 2015 and slingshot the comedian into becoming a household name.
After she left Call The Midwife and Miranda came to an end, Hart was off to Hollywood where she played Miss Bates in the 2020 Jane Austen adaption film Emma, starring alongside Anya Taylor-Joy and Bill Nighy. She also played Nancy in the 2015 Spy alongside Melissa McCarthy.
Maybe we'll see Hart make a return to Nonnatus House, although she's already had a long and distinguished career having won tree Royal television Society awards and four BAFTA nominations.
