Kokomo woman sentenced after federal drug investigation
Aug. 23—INDIANAPOLIS — A Kokomo woman who pleaded guilty earlier this year after being indicted in connection with illegal drug activity was sentenced Tuesday morning to eight years in federal custody.
Court documents filed in the case note that five of those years will be spent in prison, while the remaining three will be spent on supervised release.
Amy Lowe, 33, was one of 16 people arrested in what police referred to as "Operation Routine Maintenance," a 9-month drug investigation that began in Jan. 2021.
According to Tribune archives, officials with the Kokomo Police Department's Drug Task Force and the DEA initiated 36 controlled buy investigations around Kokomo from Jan. 2021 to Sept. 2021, and those controlled buys resulted in the seizure of around 775 grams — around 1.75 pounds — of methamphetamine.
As for the defendant's role in the case, court documents report that Lowe met with an unidentified individual in Kokomo on April 5, 2021.
During that encounter, Lowe reportedly sold that other individual 87 grams of methamphetamine, per court records, in exchange for $2,150.
She was later arrested on a federal charge of distribution of controlled substances, which held a penalty of up to life in prison and a $10,000,000 fine.
"Operation Routine Maintenance" is the third major drug ring investigation conducted by local and federal agencies over the past few years in the city.
In 2018, the drug investigation titled "Operation Law and Order" resulted in the arrest of over 50 individuals, both across the state and as far away as Georgia, with several of those individuals involved eventually being sentenced to decades behind bars.
Then, in January 2020, law enforcement also began an investigation called "Operation Almost Real," which led to the arrest of 47 individuals and the seizure of drugs, firearms, over $98,000 in cash and a bulletproof vest. | https://news.yahoo.com/kokomo-woman-sentenced-federal-drug-222400721.html | 2022-08-23T23:01:33Z | https://news.yahoo.com/kokomo-woman-sentenced-federal-drug-222400721.html | true | 1 |

How long have you been banking with the same bank?
As cash incentives get bigger at a time when many are struggling with the soaring cost of living, financial experts say there’s more reason than ever for customers to move banks.
Santander is the latest institution to offer a substantial switching incentive, with £175 available for new customers.
This is available alongside the 4 per cent cashback on energy bills it announced this month.
Here, along with Santander’s offer, are some of the best switcher deals currently on offer…
First Direct
First Direct are also offering new customers £175 to switch to the digital only bank.
To get the £175 cash offer, you will need to open a 1st Account, switch your everyday banking to be with them using the Current Account Switch Service and pay in at least £1,000 within three months of opening the account.
This offer is limited to one payment per customer or joint account, and you’ll get the money within 28 days of all the criteria being met.
Nationwide
With Nationwide you can get £100 as a new account member and £125 if you’re an existing account holder.
To qualify, you need to complete a full switch online to either a FlexPlus, FlexDirect or FlexAccount from another building society or a bank, and make sure you switch over two Direct Debits as part of your switch.
This must be actioned by using the Current Account Switching Service within 30 days of account opening.
Santander
Santander is now offering £175 cashback to both new and existing customers when they switch their current account to a 123, 123 Lite, Everyday, Select or Private Current Account. This new offer will replace the previous offer of £160 cashback for new applications.
To qualify, customers need to complete the switch using the Current Account Switch Service and, within 60 days, set up and maintain two active direct debits, deposit at least £1,000 and log in to online or mobile banking.
The cashback will be paid directly into their qualifying Santander current account within 30 days following this. The previous account must be closed.
Santander customers will also benefit from double cashback on energy bills. This offer is in addition to the previous announcement that 123, 123 Lite, Select and Private Current Account customers will receive double cashback on their gas and electricity bills, as well as on Santander Home and Santander Life Insurance policies, paid by Direct Debit from September, for two months.
The cashback rate will double from 2 per cent to 4 per cent and the monthly cap will double from £5 to £10 per month. Customers will receive this additional cashback automatically and cashback on other household bills categories will continue to be paid as today, at either 1 per cent or 3 per cent, each capped at £5 per month.
Halifax
If you switch to Halifax, you could get £150 in ten working days. Switch your old account held elsewhere into a Halifax Reward Current Account or Ultimate Reward Current Account using the Current Account Switch Service by Monday September 5. Switch must include two direct debits and the previous account must be closed.

To see who this account holder is, visit your cashback account profile in your app once you’ve signed up. You can change who receives account level cashback once every 30 days.
What to consider before switching
Although there are several decent offers on the table, experts are encouraging consumers to think carefully before making a switch.
Andrew Hagger, a personal finance expert from Moneycomms.co.uk, told i: “Before you jump ship, just check that the new account works well for you – does it match the way you run your day to day finances? For example if you’re regularly in the red the £250 interest free overdraft from First Direct will prove to be a great money saver.
“The switching process is really simple and you control exactly when the changeover happens – and if anything does go awry during the transfer and you incur charges, the CASS agreement includes a refund guarantee.
“If you’re not happy with the service or rates from your bank, now’s a great time to consider switching and getting a nice cash bonus for your troubles.” | https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/money/saving-and-banking/santander-current-account-switching-offer-cashback-best-bank-incentives-1810174 | 2022-08-23T23:11:27Z | https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/money/saving-and-banking/santander-current-account-switching-offer-cashback-best-bank-incentives-1810174 | false | 1 |
TRUCKEE, Calif. (KTXL) — On Tuesday, an autopsy was performed by the Nevada County Sheriff-Coroner which identified the body found in Prosser Reservoir as Kiely Rodni, the missing 16 year-old girl.
After being missing for more than two weeks, Rodni’s body, along with her car, was found in the Prosser Reservoir by an independent group of searchers, Adventures with Purpose, on Sunday.
“We have located a decedent inside the vehicle,” Nevada County Sherrif Shannon Moon said in a news conference on Monday. “We believe it is our missing person. We have not been able to positively identify but it’s more than likely where we are today.”
Rodni was last seen in early August after reportedly attending a party with more than 100 minors and young adults near the Prosser Family Campground in Truckee, California, about 100 miles northeast of Sacramento.
The next day, the Placer County Sheriff’s Office told Nexstar’s KTXL they were treating her disappearance as a possible abduction since her car was also missing. The last known ping from Rodni’s cellphone was near Prosser Lake but previous searches prior to Sunday had not turned up any signs of Kiely or her vehicle.
About 35 minutes after Oregon-based Adventures with Purpose began searching Prosser Reservoir, diver Nick Rinn said he discovered Rodni’s vehicle.
“It’s an emotional moment for sure, especially when I first dropped down. The first thing I saw was the vehicle upside down. I looked at the license plate, could tell right away this was the vehicle that we were looking for,” Rinn told KTXL. He was also able to see human remains in the car.
“We notified family, and dad and grandpa were there less than two minutes,” team leader Doug Bishop said. “It was tough. It was very, very tough. Very tough moment.”
The Nevada County Sheriff’s Office says the investigation remains ongoing. | https://www.wlns.com/top-stories/body-found-in-prosser-reservoir-is-missing-teen-kiely-rodni-coroner-confirms/ | 2022-08-23T23:12:34Z | https://www.wlns.com/top-stories/body-found-in-prosser-reservoir-is-missing-teen-kiely-rodni-coroner-confirms/ | true | 17 |

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has kicked off the third phase of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Imported Seafood Pilot program, which uses AI and machine learning (ML) to strengthen import screening and to ensure that foods entering the U.S are safe. The pilot focuses on imported seafood because more than 90 percent of the U.S. seafood supply comes from other countries, and in the past, FDA has seen food safety concerns for various imported seafood products along different points in the supply chain. This pilot builds upon the two previous phases of the pilot under the New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint, a program that seeks to reduce the number of foodborne illnesses by leveraging technology to create a safer, more digital, traceable food system.
ML is a type of AI that can help identify connections and patterns that people, or the FDA’s screening system, cannot see. These patterns are applied to incoming supply chains to help predict the likelihood that an import shipment is potentially harmful and not compliant with FDA regulations. The ability of ML to analyze data, already generated and used by the agency, makes it well suited for addressing complex public health challenges and helping the agency to ensure the safety of imported foods.
The third phase is designed to improve the agency’s ability to quickly identify imported seafood products that may be contaminated by illness-causing pathogens, decomposition, the presence of unapproved antibiotic residues, or other hazards.
The knowledge gained from the pilot will enable the FDA to expand the use of ML in the screening of other FDA-regulated products and will inform future risk-based surveillance in products that present the greatest risk to consumers. The ultimate goal is to better protect consumers from unsafe foods by advancing the FDA’s ability to identify potential hazards.
The third phase, begun on August 15, 2022, will help to determine the feasibility of deploying in-house AI/ML models using the intelligence that FDA extracts from the data it collects reviewing millions of import entries per year. For example, there have been enhancements made that determine how machine learning algorithms can best complement field operations and improve the agency’s ability to identify products posing a threat quickly and efficiently. FDA also is looking at its seafood project portfolio to expand the use of machine learning to better protect consumers. Machine learning gives the agency the ability to analyze data from various sources to help inform FDA decisions and target its resource at the borders. In a related shrimp pilot, FDA has begun to focus on areas of increased risk, such as shrimp contaminated by aquaculture drugs, for foreign inspections. This includes increased importer inspections, higher rates of sampling and examination, and use of non-traditional tools, such as third-party audits, specific to this commodity. FDA incorporated the data from this project into the Third Phase of AI Imported Seafood Pilot Program, allowing for a more robust and larger targeted sampling.
Pilot timeline/background
In 2019, the agency launched the first phase of the pilot, an analytical proof of concept. The analysis demonstrated potential for an ML-driven approach to expedite the review of lower-risk seafood shipments, while identifying those of higher risk for violations or refusals. The second phase, conducted in the field, was designed to integrate ML into existing import data systems to inform decisions about sampling by entry reviewers while gaining more experience with training of the ML model. The operational pilot was launched at all 328 U.S. ports of entry from February 2021 through July 2021 and proved successful. The real-time model was able to analyze an import entry and return a sample recommendation within seconds.
The agency is committed to enhancing the screening of potentially hazardous products at ports of entry and facilitating access to safe seafood and other products without delay. The third phase is expected to be completed in late fiscal year 2023. For more information or questions, contact FDA’s Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) via email at ORAOEIOAIInquiry@fda.hhs.gov.

One of the biggest question marks heading into the 53-man cut down date of August 30 was 1) how many receivers will the Falcons carry? And 2) who will they be?
Let's say - hypothetically - the Falcons carry five receivers on the 53-man roster. Let's also say Drake London, Olamide Zaccheaus and Bryan Edwards are taking up three spots. Who fills the other two? Well, we're getting closer to an answer as the Falcons announced on Tuesday afternoon that they had cut Geronimo Allison and Auden Tate when the team went from 85 players to 80 on the active roster.
RELATED CONTENT:
This is an interesting development for the Falcons as Allison and Tate were two individuals many felt were on the bubble of potentially making the 53-man roster.
Tate was an offseason signing that excited a number of people in the fan base because of his height alone. Then, came the Allison pick up, too. The Falcons front office was following a pattern of providing Arthur Smith with taller and longer receivers this offseason. However, neither signing ultimately panned out.
Tate never cracked the second-team offensive rotation. Throughout all of training camp, he spent majority of his time with the reserve groupings.
Allison was a different story, though. When Edwards was injured early in training camp, landing awkwardly on his shoulder at practice, Allison had a few more opportunities in rotation. Without London (knee) a week later, those reps continued to grow as he often switched back and forth within the first- and second-teams.
Between KhaDarel Hodge, Frank Darby and Damiere Byrd, it felt like Allison was someone who was in the conversation to attain one of those open spots on the 53-man. But then the Falcons signed KeeSean Johnson last week. And then Jared Bernhardt continued to perform well during joint practices in New York, with Desmond Ridder finding him open a few times against the Jets on Monday night.
For as tall as they are, Allison and Tate were surpassed by all of the names listed above. And now we find that we know more about which direction this coaching staff and front office is heading when it comes to building this group.
What's occurring at the wide receiver position is one of the most competitive positional battles happening for the Falcons right now. Figuring out who earns those final roster spots is one of the biggest evaluations this staff has to do this week.
For players like Hodge, Darby, Byrd and even someone like a sneaky Bernhardt, the next two days of joint practices with the Jaguars and the subsequent game this weekend will be the deciding factor in who we see make the cut come August 30.
Keep your eye on this position group. It could be a very competitive week for receivers in Atlanta.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A man and a woman were charged Tuesday with attempted kidnapping after they tried to snatch a baby from a stroller at gunpoint in Southern California last weekend, prosecutors said.
Two women were walking with the baby in a stroller around noon Saturday in Long Beach when they were approached by “an unknown, armed female suspect,” police said in a statement.
“The suspect pointed the firearm at one of the adult victims and demanded the baby,” the police statement said.
The three women fought over the stroller until a car pulled up and a man behind the wheel fired a gun, police said. “The female suspect released the stroller and ran to the awaiting vehicle,” which sped away, the statement said.
No injuries were reported.
Detectives located the suspect vehicle around 8:45 p.m. Saturday and arrested a 55-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man, both residents of Los Angeles, officials said. Two airsoft guns that resembled real firearms were found inside the car, police said.
In addition to attempted kidnapping, each suspect was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and child abuse, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said. Arraignment was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
Bail was set at $100,000. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Pair-charged-with-trying-to-snatch-baby-from-17393485.php | 2022-08-23T23:30:41Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Pair-charged-with-trying-to-snatch-baby-from-17393485.php | false | 11 |
No, this is not a drill! Reba McEntire is returning to the big screen in a brand-new Lifetime movie, and she just shared the first look at the trailer.
On the afternoon of August 11, the "I'm a Survivor" singer revealed that she's returning to the small screen in a BIG way. The star took to Twitter to share the first trailer of her latest movie called The Hammer, where she portrays a sassy, spitfire attorney appointed as judge in Nevada following the suspicious death of the district's reigning judge.
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, presenting Reba McEntire in The Hammer:
Fans get a first-look of Reba playing her character Kim Wheeler when a cop pulls over a speeding truck driven by none other than the "Fancy" singer herself. With that Southern accent that everyone adores, it quickly becomes clear that she's a force to be reckoned with in the small town. Maybe it was the clip of her knocking out an inmate with her gavel after he charged at her while in court, but judging from the short trailer, Kim Wheeler is not one to be messed with.
As lead actress AND executive producer, Reba's character is inspired by a real traveling judge named Kim Wanker. The Hammer is described as "a made up story about a real life judge" where Reba's character shares her no-nonsense attitude, but the storyline is purely a Lifetime original movie fictional plot.
Needless to say, fans were ecstatic to see Reba in her new role and bombarded her comment section with messages like:
- "Miss ma’am! I am SOOO excited for this!!! Cannot wait! This looks so good!!!"
- "You are so badass!! I can't wait for this movie!!"
- "Ms. McEntire, I’m shook."
We had those same reactions, but as you watch further into the trailer, you'll be mighty surprised to see a few familiar faces. Reba wasn't going into filming her new movie alone. She was joined on set by her actor boyfriend Rex Linn, who's best known for his role on CSI: Miami. Now, he's playing a "mysterious cowboy with unknown motives."
And the reunions don't stop there. The actress will also be joined by fellow Reba co-star Melissa Peterman who will play Kris, Kim Wheeler's sister.
Needless to say, we're pretty stoked for The Hammer to premiere on Lifetime. | https://www.countryliving.com/life/entertainment/a40923243/reba-mcentire-lifetime-movie-the-hammer/ | 2022-08-23T23:31:48Z | https://www.countryliving.com/life/entertainment/a40923243/reba-mcentire-lifetime-movie-the-hammer/ | true | 1 |

Cook County bringing in refrigerated trailers due to increase in opioid-related deaths
COOK COUNTY, Ill. - America's fentanyl epidemic has gotten so bad that some morgues could soon run out of room.
In Chicago, the Cook County Medical Examiner needed more room and more resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, COVID deaths have dropped, but the morgue still needs extra space due to deaths from fentanyl.
Dr. Ponni Arunkumar, the Cook County Chief Medical Examiner, said the most common non-natural death is opioids.
Opioid-related deaths in Cook County have nearly tripled from 675 in 2017 to nearly 2,000 deaths last year.
"Most of them were related to fentanyl," said Dr. Arunkumar.
Nationally — it's even worse.
Deaths rose from 6,000 in 2015 to over 63,000 last year.
Fentanyl is the biggest factor, and coroners across the country are saying its tough to keep up with the amount of deaths.
Dr. Arunkumar says these deaths are all preventable.
In 2016, Kathy Zander said her son ingested drugs that contained fentanyl, which ultimately killed him.
He was buried on what would have been his 23rd birthday.
"These choices that they're making, they're not able to learn from their mistakes because they're dying," said Zander.
Zander says fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction.
"It's time for us to wake up and to get this stuff off the street," said Zander.
Caitlin Strebing's 35-year-old brother accidentally overdosed on fentanyl last year. She now advocates for substance abuse disorders and fentanyl awareness.

"Fentanyl is the leading cause of death in the U.S. right now for ages 18 to 45, and I think that alone speaks for itself," said Strebing.
So far, there is no sign of stopping.
Cook County's morgue has brought in refrigerated trailers. The medical examiner says they can't handle all the bodies — at least for now.
Many coroners' offices are saying the uptick in drug-related deaths are putting a big strain on their resources and staff, causing some to increase their budget to address the problem. | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/cook-county-bringing-in-refrigerated-trailers-due-to-increase-in-opioid-related-deaths | 2022-08-23T23:45:18Z | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/cook-county-bringing-in-refrigerated-trailers-due-to-increase-in-opioid-related-deaths | false | 2 |

"The Best & Less team is excited to welcome back our valued Muswellbrook customers to our new store in the Upper Hunter region," he said.
"The demand for our return to the area was overwhelming, and we thank the community for their continued support.
"We will be bringing our customers everything they expect from us in making a great selection of affordable and fashionable products and cannot wait to welcome everyone back in store soon."
To celebrate the opening, Best & Less is offering 100 giveaway bags and a chance to win a $300 gift card for those who sign up to the company's Friends Club loyalty program.
The new 411 square metre Best & Less store is located in Marketplace, on Brook St, Muswellbrook.
The former store shut its doors for what was believed to be the last time on March 6, 2022, amid outcries from the wider community.
According to a company spokesperson, the business was edged out of its former location by another retailer once the lease was up for renewal.
"The store and head office, as well as Muswellbrook council, received a lot of feedback about us closing," the spokesperson stated.
"If it wasn't for the community, we wouldn't have [reopened].
"The store will be very different as it will be a lot smaller.
"However staff will go above and beyond to order in anything needed by the customer." | https://www.muswellbrookchronicle.com.au/story/7870762/town-set-to-celebrate-return-of-popular-retailer-six-months-after-closing/ | 2022-08-23T23:47:44Z | https://www.muswellbrookchronicle.com.au/story/7870762/town-set-to-celebrate-return-of-popular-retailer-six-months-after-closing/ | true | 2 |
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – Community leaders are working to revitalize Spartanburg’s largest recreational space, Duncan Park, and they want to hear from community members.
“It is one of our oldest spaces in the city of Spartanburg,” said the city’s parks and recreation director Kim Moultrie. “It is a jewel.”
On Tuesday, city leaders and leaders from PAL Spartanburg, which advocates for healthy and active living, hosted an open meeting, inviting people to learn more about the park and offer input and ideas.
“Our big goal is just for anybody and everybody to come down to Duncan Park and just enjoy it,” said Dave Theiss, a trail coordinator with PAL Spartanburg.
Theiss said, right now, the park is underutilized.
“The Rail Trail gets over 200,000 uses in a year, and we were getting counts of only a thousand here at Duncan [Park],” said Theiss.
City and community leaders want to know why the visitor count is so low and the type of recreation and activities people want to use at the park.
“We’re really wanting to see what it is that people are using, what they want more of,” said Theiss.
Moultrie said they’re also keeping safety in mind, as they consider upgrades and changes at the park.
“One of the things that the committee has identified from the very beginning is making whatever we do in Duncan Park, making it welcome, and making it safe, and making it family friendly,” said Moultrie.
Leaders said Duncan Park has potential. It sits on more than 100 acres, with biking and walking paths, athletic fields and courts, a lake, and more. Now, they said it’s time to make it a space for everyone.
“What we really want to see here is we want to see every demographic in Spartanburg to have a reason to come here, and so the more people that give community input, the more likely we can create something here for everybody in Spartanburg,” said Theiss.
Moultrie said soon they’ll start putting ideas and input together and come up with a plan. She said the advisory committee hopes to present their plan for the park to city council at the end of October. From there, they’ll work on funding for the project.
People can also share input through an online survey. | https://www.wspa.com/news/local-news/city-community-leaders-want-input-as-they-work-to-revamp-spartanburgs-duncan-park/ | 2022-08-23T23:50:27Z | https://www.wspa.com/news/local-news/city-community-leaders-want-input-as-they-work-to-revamp-spartanburgs-duncan-park/ | true | 1 |
Cebu Pacific Continues International Network Rebuild
More flights and routes are returning to the airline’s schedule as governments in Asia loosen travel restrictions.
Posted
Cebu Pacific is adding more frequencies and destinations to its international network in response to strong demand and the gradual easing of travel rules across many countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Philippine airline is currently operating about 44% of its pre-pandemic international capacity. Now it is planning to bolster the number of seats on offer over the coming weeks from its hubs in Manila (MNL) and Cebu (CEB).
“It is exciting and encouraging to see more Filipinos traveling confidently in and out the Philippines, that is why we make sure we consistently provide convenient and affordable flight options,” Cebu Pacific CCO Xander Lao said.
From Aug. 29, the LCC will fly daily from Manila to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) in Thailand, up from 5X-weekly at the present time, and by September will increase Manila-Denpasar-Bali (DPS) from three to five flights per week.
Service from Manila to Brunei (BWN) will also restart from Sept. 1, operating twice a week. The carrier suspended regular flights between the destinations in March 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 crisis.
Fully vaccinated Filipinos flying to these three destinations are only required to present their proof of complete vaccination as Thailand and Indonesia have already eased its restrictions to allow tourists to enter.
In addition, Cebu Pacific intends to increase its flights from Cebu to Seoul Incheon (ICN) from 2X-weekly to daily by Sept. 9. On Sept. 23, frequencies from Manila to Nagoya Chubu Centrair (NGO) in Japan will also rise from 5X-weekly to daily.
By Oct. 1, the airline’s Bali flights will also increase to a daily service, while service to Hanoi (HAN) and Taipei (TPE) from Manila will both have one additional flight per week, taking the routes to 4X-weekly and 3X-weekly respectively.
According to data provided by OAG Schedules Analyser for the week commencing Aug. 22, Cebu Pacific is flying from Manila to 16 international destinations and from Cebu to two. The LCC’s overall international capacity this week is 62,475 seats, compared with about 142,700 at this time in 2019.
Earlier this month, the carrier reported a 337% increase in revenues to P13.97 billion ($249 million) during the second quarter of 2022, compared with the same period a year earlier. Losses narrowed to P1.9 billion, from P6.5 billion last year.
“Amidst the risks posed by expensive jet fuel, peso depreciation and interest rate hikes, CEB remains cautiously optimistic that we can turn the tide soon as domestic demand looks robust and international borders continue to reopen,” CFO Mark Cezar said. | https://www.routesonline.com/news/29/breaking-news/298524/cebu-pacific-continues-international-network-rebuild/ | 2022-08-23T23:54:06Z | https://www.routesonline.com/news/29/breaking-news/298524/cebu-pacific-continues-international-network-rebuild/ | true | 1 |
Thai AirAsia To Start Japan Flights
Fukuoka will be the airline’s first destination in Japan.
Posted
Thai AirAsia plans to launch its first flights to Japan in October, connecting Thailand’s capital with Fukuoka, the largest city on the island of Kyushu.
The LCC will open a 3X-weekly route between Bangkok Don Mueang (DMK) and Fukuoka (FUK) from Oct. 12, flying on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays using a 236-seat Airbus A321neo aircraft. A fourth flight per week will start on Oct. 30 when the days of operation will change to Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
“Japan is a top leisure favourite destination for Thai travelers, with many intent on visiting the country as soon as it reopens to tourism,” Thai AirAsia CEO Santisuk Klongchaiya said. “Fukuoka might not be the first city that comes to mind for people thinking of visiting Japan, but anyone who experiences it, is sure to be deeply impressed.”
The latest schedules provided by OAG show that Thai VietJet offers four flights per week between Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Fukuoka. Thai Airways International also intends to resume daily BKK-FUK flights in mid-October having suspended the route in March 2020.
The launch of Thai AirAsia’s will add 1,440 two-way weekly seats to the Bangkok-Fukuoka market by early November.
The carrier is operating 33 domestic routes and 25 international services at the present time, providing 251,000 weekly seats across its network. This compares with 506,000 weekly seats at this time in 2019. | https://www.routesonline.com/news/29/breaking-news/298526/thai-airasia-to-start-japan-flights/ | 2022-08-23T23:54:19Z | https://www.routesonline.com/news/29/breaking-news/298526/thai-airasia-to-start-japan-flights/ | true | 1 |
Migrant torture survivors protest at Saudi Arabian embassy
Activists under the Torture Survivors Movement Uganda carried a casket to the embassy of Saudi Arabia in Uganda, located in Kampala.

Georgia prosecutors have cleared a police officer of any wrongdoing in the deadly shooting of a Black man in the back more than two years ago at a fast-food parking lot in Atlanta.
Atlanta Police Officer Garrett Rolfe will not be facing any criminal charges in the killing of Rayshard Brooks, who was found asleep in a drive-thru lane before he was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol. Rolfe was charged with felony murder.
MORE: Everything To Know About The Police Killing Of Rayshard Brooks
Also not facing any charges is Officer Devin Brosnan, who first responded to reports of Brooks sleeping in his car and blocking a drive-thru lane at a Wendy’s location in Atlanta.
Veteran Georgia prosecutors Pete Skandalakis and Danny Porter — who handled the case — made the announcement Tuesday during a press conference that featured a detailed frame-by-frame breakdown of combined video footage from the fatal encounter on June 12, 2020, in an effort to validate their findings.
Porter said it was his opinion that Rolfe and Brosnan “acted in accordance with Georgia law and Atlanta police policy.” He said “the use of deadly force was objectionable reasonable and they did not act with criminal intent.”
Porter also cited several legal cases as precedence for his findings.
During the press conference, Porter showed video footage that he claimed proves Brooks, 27, “beat the crap out of” Rolfe and Brosnan, establishing and reinforcing probable cause for the officers to arrest Brooks. Porter said that even before Brooks was shot, officers had probable cause to arrest him for offenses like felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer, removal of a weapon from a public official, aggravated assault on a police officer and possession of a firearm while committing a crime.
The combination cleared the way for police to use lethal force, Porter said.
Social justice advocates have maintained that lethal force was not justified since Brooks was armed with a Taser, which is not considered a deadly weapon. However, Skandalakis and Porter said they established that a Taser can be deadly in certain instances, a fact that validates their decision.
The prosecutors repeatedly suggested that the video from the shooting that went viral on social media didn’t tell the whole story.
“Video never lies, but sometimes it doesn’t always tell the truth,” Porter said.
Porter played footage that he said showed Brooks fighting the officers when they tried to arrest him after he failed a breathalyzer test in the parking lot. Porter said the video showed Brooks disarm Brosnan of the officer’s Taser before fleeing in the parking lot. Before and after Brooks ran away, Porter said, the video showed Brooks firing the Taser at both officers. Rolfe gave chase but opted to use his service weapon instead of a Taser once he was fired at by Brooks, Porter said.
Following the shooting, Rolfe was promptly fired by then-Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who said she did “not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force.” However, in May of last year, Rolfe won his job back and was reinstated despite what was at the time a still-pending felony murder charge.
Brosnan was charged with aggravated assault after former Fulton DA Paul Howard claimed the officer kicked and stood on Brooks after the shooting, according to local news outlet 11 Alive.
Video of Brooks’ killing was recorded by a bystander and went viral. That prompted the police to quickly release the dashcam and bodycam footage with unprecedented swiftness in an apparent attempt at total transparency.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued a press release about its preliminary findings from the initial video footage indicating that “during a physical struggle with officers, Brooks obtained one of the officer’s Tasers and began to flee from the scene. Officers pursued Brooks on foot and during the chase, Brooks turned and pointed the Taser at the officer. The officer fired his weapon, striking Brooks.”
This is a developing story that will be updated as additional information becomes available.

Suzanne Somers Reveals Richard Simmons Was Struggling With Insecurity & 'Heartache' Before His Disappearance
Aug. 23 2022, Published 6:30 p.m. ET
Suzanne Somers is opening up about fellow dancer Richard Simmons' disappearance, explaining in a new documentary that she believes his insecurities may have been to blame.
"That's not my style, I never make fun of anybody. But that's when I realized a little insecurity has gotten in there," Somers explained of a situation they had while working together. "I liked him. I was always so surprised when he thought I'd make fun of him. But doesn't that show you he's got a heartache? Something's broken inside because he did it. He had it and then let it go."
The workout guru, 74, suddenly stopped teaching at his studio in 2014 and hasn't made many public appearances since then.
In 2017, he reached out to his fans after being hospitalized for stomach problems. "Hello to everyone who has shown concern for me and sent their good wishes," he said. "Hello to everyone who has shown concern for me and sent their good wishes."
However, he reappeared during the COVID-19 pandemic to re-release workout videos on his YouTube channel. His channel, which has 38,000 followers as of August 2022, is now regularly updated with re-releases of his older exercise routines.
Multiple theories revolve around his disappearance, with one claiming that he is being held hostage by his housekeeper at his home in Hollywood Hills. Another says he's possibly transitioning into a woman and was going to go by the name Fiona — a story wasn't too happy to read about, and as OK! previously reported, he even sued a publication for hurting his reputation.
'UNDER THE WEATHER' & IN HIDING: RICHARD SIMMONS' DISAPPEARANCE IN HIS OWN WORDS
More details about Simmons' disappearance are emerging in the new documentary that speaks to people — like Somers — who knew him. Others interviewed include writer Bruce Vilanch as well as Leslie Wilshire, who was Simmons' costume designer for a long time.
PEOPLE reported the scoop from TMZ Investigates: What Really Happened to Richard Simmons, which premiered on Monday, August 22 at 8/7c on FOX. | https://okmagazine.com/p/suzanne-somers-richard-simmons-insecurity-heartache-disappearance/ | 2022-08-24T00:07:08Z | https://okmagazine.com/p/suzanne-somers-richard-simmons-insecurity-heartache-disappearance/ | true | 1 |
ScanSource (SCSC) Misses Q4 Earnings Estimates
ScanSource (SCSC) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.91 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.94 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.96 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -3.19%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this technology products distributor would post earnings of $0.69 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.04, delivering a surprise of 50.72%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

What's Next for ScanSource?

(Motor Authority) — Hot on the heels of the announcement the U.S. Army selected startup company Canoo for the supply of an electric vehicle to be used for evaluation purposes, we have news GM Defense will also supply the Army with a vehicle powered solely by electricity.
GM Defense, General Motors’ division responsible for military products, said on Wednesday it will supply the GMC Hummer EV in response to the Army’s request for a light-to-heavy duty EV that can be used in operational and garrison environments.
The request is part of the Army’s strategy to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The Army is also evaluating vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells, with GM Defense having previously supplied a Chevrolet Colorado concept vehicle equipped with a fuel cell.
Hummer as a brand was originally established in 1992 to offer a civilian version of the Humvee originally developed for the military by AM General, but this time it’s the other way around, with a vehicle originally developed for civilian use being supplied to the military.
GM Defense hasn’t said whether it will supply a standard Hummer EV, or one specially built for military applications, as was the case with the fuel-cell-equipped Colorado concept.
The standard Hummer EV certainly provides all the performance necessary for a military vehicle, assuming charging infrastructure is available. The top-of-the-range model delivers 1,000 hp, a 0-60 mph time of three seconds, and a battery good for 329 miles of range and high-speed charging at up to 350 kilowatts. The high kw rating means 100 miles of range can be added in just 10 minutes of charging. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/automotive/us-army-to-sample-gmc-hummer-ev-in-quest-to-reduce-reliance-on-fossil-fuels/ | 2022-08-24T00:13:12Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/automotive/us-army-to-sample-gmc-hummer-ev-in-quest-to-reduce-reliance-on-fossil-fuels/ | true | 23 |
As schools continue to open across San Diego County for the fall semester, there is a new state law in effect that requires middle schools in the state to start no earlier than 8 a.m. and high schools to start no earlier than 8:30. The late start law is intended to help young people find more natural sleep patterns which helps brain development. Research shows the additional sleep would result in improved student performance and better physical health.
"During this time of human development, the middle schoolers and high schoolers tend to go to sleep later at night. And also the internal biological clock tells them to wake up slightly later in the morning. So, by having a delayed school start time, we allow the students to catch up anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour of extra sleep," said Satchin Panda, professor at the Salk Institute and author of the book "The Circadian Code. "
Panda joined Midday Edition Tuesday to talk about the research that helped lead to the later school start times in middle and high schools across California.
"This sleep improvement also ends up in fewer car crashes in the morning. And more importantly, it improves class attendance and graduation rates. And these results have been seen in many studies in the U.S., as well as in other countries," he said.
One consequence of the change is that it has made after school activities start later in the day, complicating the schedules of students participating in sports and other extracurriculars after the school day ends.
"I'm hearing that the coaches are looking towards other opportunities on the weekends and such break times, where we can bring kids in and work out with them and make sure that they're ready for those kinds of competitions," said Bill Walsh, principal at Castle Park Middle School in Chula Vista. | https://www.kpbs.org/news/local/2022/08/23/starting-schools-later-improves-student-health-and-performance-research-says | 2022-08-24T00:22:54Z | https://www.kpbs.org/news/local/2022/08/23/starting-schools-later-improves-student-health-and-performance-research-says | false | 1 |
What is the best Foreo product?
Foreo is a Swedish health and beauty brand founded by Filip Sedic in 2013. The brand creates beauty-tech skin solutions and products that transform your regular grooming routine into a luxurious at-home spa treatment that leaves you feeling revitalized and beautiful. The Foreo Luna Mini 3 Silicone Face Cleansing Brush is the best Foreo product, versatile and travel-friendly.
What to know before you buy a Foreo product
Skin type
Foreo products can be used on all skin types, and some are designed in different colors tailored to particular skin types. For example, the Luna 3 comes in pink for normal skin, purple for sensitive skin and blue for combination skin.
Connected to the app
To get the full experience of your Foreo device, you need to download the Foreo app to your phone and link it to the device. The app tells you how to use each product and is automated with a soothing, relaxing voice. While the products can be used without being connected to the app, you will not get all the features available and will have a less pleasurable, less optimized experience.
T-sonic technologies
Foreo makes use of its trademarked T-sonic pulsation technology. The “T” in “T-sonic” stands for transdermal, which means that the device’s pulsations travel through the outer layers of the skin to deeply cleanse it of debris that clogs the pores, such as dirt and makeup. The pulsations also help exfoliate the skin, getting rid of dead skin cells, making it easier for the skin to absorb active ingredients from skin care products.
Models and sizes
Most Foreo products are made in different models that differ in size. Some have a full-sized and a mini version; others have three sizes. If you’ll be traveling, a mini size will be the most portable.
What to look for in a quality Foreo product
Silicone bristles
According to Foreo, its classic Luna massagers were the world’s first cleansing massagers with silicone bristles. Foreo uses silicone and thermoplastic polymer instead of the more commonly used nylon. Silicone absorbs less water than nylon, making it dry faster. This discourages the growth of bacteria and makes Foreo massagers more hygienic.
Magnetic disc
All Foreo devices come with a magnetic silicone disc. This disc is a scratch card known as the authenticity card — it reveals a serial number or voucher code that helps you register the device with the app. This ensures that your device is authentic and will work correctly.
Long-lasting power
Some Foreo devices are equipped with USB rechargeable ports and come with USB cables. Other devices are battery operated and require a change of batteries after extended use. Regardless of whether they’re rechargeable or battery-operated, the devices are durable and have long-lasting power.
How much you can expect to spend on a Foreo product
Expect to spend about $10-$300 for most products, although some cost up to $8,800.
Foreo product FAQ
Can I use my Foreo device in the shower?
A. Yes, they are waterproof and safe to be used in the shower.
How often should I use my Foreo?
A. It can be used every day.
How often should I replace my Foreo batteries?
A. The batteries can last up to eight weeks.

The Democratic candidate likely to face off against New York City’s lone Republican member of congress is being targeted by a billboard funded by “angry voters” who are mad he made a joke about Italian American men kissing each other.
Centrist Democrat and former state Rep. Max Rose is aiming to unseat incumbent U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R) to represent the city’s heavily Republican 11th congressional district, which includes Staten Island and a small party of Brooklyn. Rose represented the district from 2018 to 2020, when he lost the seat to Malliotakis.
With a reportedly significant lead in fundraising and some big endorsements – Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Richie Torres (D-NY) among them – Rose is favored to win Tuesday’s Democratic primary against progressive activist Brittany Ramos DeBarros and educator Komi Agoda-Koussema.
With a rematch between Rose and Malliotais looming, attack ads have been popping up around the district. One ad spotted on Staten Island highlights a particular quote from a 2019 New York Magazine profile of the plain-talking Rose.
Leaving a Federation of Italian-American Organizations fundraising brunch at the time, Rose is reported to have asked “Have you ever seen so many men kissing other men before?”
The ad accuses Rose of “insulting the Italian-American people of Staten Island & Brooklyn.” It is unclear who is responsible for the ad, which simply reads “Paid for by angry voters.”

BERLIN (AP) — A man has died after falling from a peak in the Austrian Alps as he was trying to take a photo of a companion with whom he had reached the summit, police said Tuesday.
The 77-year-old German and his companion, a 63-year-old Spanish woman, hiked to the Greitspitze — a peak about 2,870 meters (9,400 feet) above sea level on the Austrian-Swiss border — on Sunday, police in Tyrol province said.
The man took a picture of the woman next to the cross marking the summit, then stepped back to take a photo from further away, they said in a statement. He lost his balance after apparently failing to notice that he was already close to the edge and fell down a roughly 60-meter (197-foot) rock face, sustaining fatal injuries.
Rescue services were alerted by a witness who was also at the summit at the time. The man’s body was recovered by a police helicopter. | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/us-and-world/ap-international/man-dies-in-fall-as-he-tries-to-takes-photo-on-alpine-summit/ | 2022-08-24T01:13:00Z | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/us-and-world/ap-international/man-dies-in-fall-as-he-tries-to-takes-photo-on-alpine-summit/ | false | 36 |
As employers like Virgin Atlantic relax their policies on visible tattoos in the workplace, Nicola Cockerill examines the benefits of redrafting dress codes to make them more ink-friendly and discusses the legal issues that can arise.
The popularity of tattoos in the UK shows no sign of dwindling. In 2015 statistics showed that 30% of 25 to 39-year-olds have at least one tattoo on their body, 21% for those aged between 40-59 and 9% for those aged over 60 years. More recently, a 2018 survey by YouGov found that 40% of people in the UK had at least one tattoo.
Given just how much of the nation’s workforce now have tattoos, is it still morally or ethically right for employers to ask their employees to cover up, or to even outright refuse to employ anyone displaying visible tattoos?
Here we review what impact an employer’s opinions on the matter can have on the recruitment process, and whether or not it is lawful it is to make such decisions purely based on a like, or dislike, of tattoos in the workplace.
When YouGov looked into the attitudes that people have towards tattoos it found that only 36% thought negatively about those with tattoos, while 44% said that it made absolutely no difference to them at all.
Tattoos in the workplace
Disney drops dress requirements in inclusion drive
Visible tattoos: time to relax policies on employee appearance?
However, when The Knowledge Academy delved a bit deeper in 2019, asking specifically about people with tattoos in the workplace, the results were a little different.
Asking a sample of 1,265 people the question “Do you prefer employees with a tattoo?” alongside a wide range of professions, the answers highlighted just how much context counts when people consider their opinions on tattoos.
Generally, those working in the creative, beauty and leisure industries were still viewed favourably if they had tattoos on display. For example, a fashion designer with tattoos achieved a 65% positivity rating.
It was a different story for white-collar professions or office workers, however, with 75% preferring MPs, doctors (68%) and lawyers (63%) without tattoos.
The location of the visible tattoo may also be another consideration for an employer. For example, whether the tattoo is located on the face, necks, hands, arms (upper or lower) may also affect how acceptable it is deemed to be.
Bearing these differing attitudes in mind, employers must consider in what instances they can or should request that employees cover their tattoos in the workplace, and even then, whether they are legally able to do so.
What can an employer do about tattooed employees?
There are currently no specific employment laws in the UK that deal with the issue of tattoos, meaning an employer may be within their rights to reject a prospective employee for a role on the basis of them having a visible tattoo.
Acas, however, warns against this. Its 2016 update to dress code guidance warned that taking a negative stance toward tattoos could lead to employers missing out on good candidates during the recruitment process.
Police forces across the UK have different rules but have traditionally been very strict on their policies regarding visible tattoos. However, recently they have reflected on Acas’ advice, and relaxed their rules.
In 2018 the Metropolitan Police, having been traditionally strict on its tattoo policy, relaxed its rules on tattoos at work in an attempt to attract more recruits.
In certain scenarios, of course, the risk of missing out on talented employees will have to be considered alongside the public’s attitude towards visible tattoos. These are generally tattoos that are above the shoulders or below the elbows.
To manage expectations, it is advisable for employers to have a dress code policy in place. If well drafted, this will ensure that it is clear what the employer’s standards are and what the employee is required to adhere to in terms of dress and appearance while at work, including when visible tattoos should be covered up.
The policy should include a business rationale for why these decisions have been taken. For example, the employer may argue that the presence of visible tattoos would be detrimental to their business or create a negative impression in the minds of prospective clients.
Tattoos in the workplace: dismissals
Similar principles should be applied when dismissing an employee who gets a tattoo while in employment too. Although tattoos are not a protected characteristic in the UK’s Equality Act, if the tattoo has a meaning relating to one of the protected characteristics – for example, a religious connotation – then this could give rise to an argument that the employee has been treated less favourably on grounds of religion and give rise to a discrimination claim.
Furthermore, if that employee has worked for the business for two years or more, then there may also be grounds for a claim of unfair dismissal.
Dress code policies need to be applied fairly and consistently, on a case-by-case basis, with individual circumstances considered to minimise the risk of discriminating against anyone.
A relevant example might be an employer dismissing a female employee with a visible tattoo, but not a male employee. Such action could give rise to discrimination claims against the employer on grounds of sex.
While societal attitudes toward tattoos are important to many businesses, employers should be cautious when using this as grounds for dismissal. Often the question of whether or not a tattoo is offensive or inappropriate is subjective and the employer’s view may not be held by the rest of society. For example, a symbol of the occult may be offensive to someone of the Catholic faith, but may not to be to someone of another religion or who is non-religious.
An employer may want to instead ask themselves whether there is a genuine business reason for prohibiting visible tattoos in the workplace or whether it is actually a reflection of their own tastes and preconceptions.
Regardless of an employer’s opinion, considering the current shortage of available candidates in the labour market, it is important to remain open-minded about these matters. Having a more inclusive culture will make any business far more attractive and assist a business in both attracting new talent and retaining their existing talent. After all, a tattoo does not define how skilled or capable a person is to do a role for which they are employed.

U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist won the Democratic nomination for governor in Florida on Tuesday, setting him up to challenge Gov. Ron DeSantis this fall in a campaign that the Republican incumbent sees as the first step toward a potential White House run.
In selecting Crist, Florida Democrats sided with a candidate backed by many in the party’s establishment who viewed him as the safest choice, even after he lost his previous two statewide elections. The 66-year-old already served one term as a Republican governor more than a decade ago before becoming a Democrat. His moderate stances could appeal to voters in Florida’s teeming suburbs as Democrats seek to reverse a losing pattern in a state that was recently seen as a perennial political battleground.
Above all, the Democratic contest centered on DeSantis, who views his November reelection as a potential springboard into the 2024 presidential contest.
“Tonight, the people of Florida clearly sent a message: They want a governor who cares about them and solves real problems, preserves our freedom, not a bully who divides us and takes our freedom away," Crist declared, declining to use DeSantis' name. “This guy wants to be president of the United States of America and everybody knows it. However, when we defeat them on Nov. 8 that show is over. Enough.”
Crist won the Democratic nomination over Nikki Fried, the state agriculture commissioner. She staked out a more progressive campaign and was particularly vocal in defending abortion and LGBTQ rights. The 44-year-old cast herself as “something new” and hoped to become Florida’s first female governor. In a sign of the party’s meager standing in Florida, she’s currently the only Democrat holding statewide office.
Fried said she called Crist to congratulate him on his victory and asked her supporters to come together to support the Democratic nominee.
“We are going to make Ronald DeSantis a one-term governor and a zero-term president of the United States," she said.
Politics
From a raucous ballroom in Miami, DeSantis previewed the general election contest as a contest against not just Crist, but against President Joe Biden and “woke” ideology.
“We will never ever surrender to the woke agenda," DeSantis charged. "Florida is a state where woke goes to die.”
The Republican governor won his first election by less than half a percentage point, but soon became one of the most prominent figures in GOP politics. His hands-off approach to the pandemic and eagerness to lean into divides over race, gender and LGBTQ rights have resonated with many Republican voters who see DeSantis as a natural heir to former President Donald Trump.
The Florida contest concludes the busiest stretch of primaries this year, which featured contests in 18 states over just 22 days. In that span, Republicans from Arizona to Alaska have supported contenders who embraced Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen, an assertion roundly rejected by elections officials, the former president’s attorney general and judges he appointed.
And for the most part, Democrats have avoided brutal primary fights — with some exceptions. Voters in New York Tuesday night decided congressional primaries that featured two powerful Democratic committee chairs, Carolyn Maloney and Jerry Nadler, competing for the same seat and other incumbents fending off challenges from the left.
Democrats are entering the final weeks ahead of the midterms with a sense of cautious optimism, hoping the Supreme Court's decision overturning a woman's constitutional right to an abortion will energize the party's base. But Democrats still face tremendous headwinds, including economic uncertainty and the historic reality that most parties lose seats in the first midterm after they've won the White House.
The dynamics are especially challenging for Democrats in Florida, one of the most politically divided states in the U.S. Its last three races for governor were decided by 1 percentage point or less. But the state has steadily become more favorable to Republicans in recent years.
For the first time in modern history, Florida has more registered Republicans — nearly 5.2 million — than Democrats, who have nearly 5 million registered voters. Fried serves as the only Democrat in statewide office. And Republicans have no primary competition for four of those five positions – governor, U.S. Senate, attorney general and chief financial officer — which are all held by GOP incumbents.
U.S. Rep. Val Demings easily won the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Sen. Marco Rubio this fall. Demings, a former police chief and a prodigious political fundraiser, has a chance to become Florida’s first Black female senator.
While some Democrats are hopeful that Demings can unseat Rubio, the party's national leadership is prioritizing competitive Senate contests in other states, including neighboring Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania.
Demings was optimistic as she reflected on her unlikely life story before a crowd of cheering supporters.
“Together, I really do believe this daughter of a maid and janitor who is not supposed to be standing here tonight — I really do believe that together we can do anything,” she said.
In Florida's governor's race, the Supreme Court's abortion decision animated the final weeks of the Democratic primary.
Fried promoted herself as the only true abortion-rights supporter in the race, seizing on Crist’s appointment of two conservative Supreme Court justices while he was governor.
The conservative-leaning court will soon decide whether the Republican-backed state legislature's law to ban abortions after 15 weeks is constitutional. Florida’s new abortion law is in effect, with exceptions if the procedure is necessary to save the pregnant woman’s life, to prevent serious injury or if the fetus has a fatal abnormality. It does not allow exemptions in cases of rape, incest or human trafficking.
Crist insisted he is “pro-choice” and highlighted a bill he vetoed as governor in 2010 that would have required women seeking a first-trimester abortion to get and pay for an ultrasound exam.
“It is a woman’s right to choose,” Crist told the AP. “My record is crystal clear. And for my opponent to try to muddy that up is unconscionable, unfair and unwise.”
Meanwhile, Trump protégé Rep. Matt Gaetz won his Republican primary contest in his Florida Panhandle district despite being under federal investigation in a sex trafficking case. Gaetz defeated GOP challenger Mark Lombardo, a former Marine and executive at FedEx, and is heavily favored to win a fourth term come November.

KYIV, Ukraine: The sense of dread deepened Tuesday in Ukraine because of warnings that Russia may try to spoil the country’s Independence Day holiday and mark the war’s six-month point with intensified attacks.The US reinforced the worry with a security alert citing “information that Russia is stepping up efforts to launch strikes against Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure and government facilities in the coming days.” As it has done previously, it urged American citizens to “depart Ukraine now.” Several European countries issued similar warnings.Kyiv authorities banned mass gatherings in the capital through Thursday for fear of missile attacks around Independence Day, which, like the six-month mark in the war, falls on Wednesday. The holiday celebrates Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.”Our country is having a very hard time, and we need to be careful,” 26-year-old Vlad Mudrak said in support of the ban.Anxiety also mounted after the weekend car bombing outside Moscow that killed the daughter of a leading right-wing Russian political theorist. Russia accused Ukraine of carrying out the attack. While Ukraine denied involvement, the bloodshed stirred fears of Russian retaliation.Hundreds of people paid tribute at a memorial service Tuesday to the bombing victim, Darya Dugina, 29, the daughter of Alexander Dugin, a writer dubbed “Putin’s brain” and “Putin’s Rasputin” because of his purported influence on Russian President Vladimir Putin.Dugina, a pro-Kremlin TV commentator, died when the SUV she was driving blew up Saturday night as she was returning home from a patriotic festival. Her father, a strong supporter of the invasion of Ukraine, was widely believed to be the intended target.Over the weekend, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia “may try to do something particularly nasty, something particularly cruel” this week.On Tuesday, however, Zelensky stressed defiance rather than worry when he raised the national flag at a memorial one day ahead of Independence Day.”The blue and yellow flag of Ukraine will again fly where it rightfully should be — in all temporarily occupied cities and villages of Ukraine,” he said, including the Crimea Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014.He added: “It is necessary to liberate Crimea from occupation. It will end where it had started.”At a separate event, Zelensky appeared to downplay the threats this week, indicating that at most, he expected increased intensity rather than new targets, and he added, “No one wants to die, but no one is afraid of Russia, and this is the most important signal.”NATO, meanwhile, said Zelensky can continue to count on the 30-nation alliance for help in defending itself in what Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called “a grinding war of attrition.” The war broke out on Feb. 24.”This is a battle of wills and a battle of logistics. Therefore, we must sustain our support for Ukraine for the long term so that Ukraine prevails as a sovereign, independent nation,” Stoltenberg said at an international conference on Crimea.One particular source of foreboding is Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, in southeastern Ukraine, where shelling has raised fears of a catastrophe.Shelling close to the Zaporizhzhia plant continued early Tuesday. Regional Gov. Valentyn Reznichenko said Russian forces fired on Marhanets and Nikopol, two towns less than a dozen kilometers (7 miles) from the power station. The UN Security Council was scheduled to meet Tuesday to discuss the danger.Another source of concern is the fate of Ukrainian prisoners of war. Michelle Bachelet, UN high commissioner for human rights, cited reports that Russia and its separatist allies in eastern Ukraine are planning to put Ukrainian POWs on trial, possibly in the coming days. The Kremlin has denounced Ukrainian prisoners as Nazis, war criminals and terrorists, and several prisoners have been sentenced to death.In the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, Russian authorities reported four people were killed and nearly a dozen wounded in Ukrainian shelling of a separatist headquarters and other buildings.In other developments, the US plans to announce on Wednesday an additional $3 billion or so in aid to train and equip Ukrainian forces, according to American officials speaking on condition of anonymity. They said the money will fund contracts for drones and other weapons.A small bright spot emerged in Ukraine: A new soccer season started Tuesday in Kyiv. Shakhtar Donetsk and Metalist 1925 from Kharkiv — teams from eastern cities fighting for their existence — played to a 0-0 draw in a 65,000-capacity downtown stadium with no fans allowed.”This is work … to show the world that life in Ukraine does not stop but continues,” Shakhtar coach Igor Jovicevic said. | https://yemenwatch.com/ukraine-fears-stepped-up-attacks-around-national-holiday/ | 2022-08-24T01:42:58Z | https://yemenwatch.com/ukraine-fears-stepped-up-attacks-around-national-holiday/ | false | 32 |
City: Missoula’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund has ‘confident’ forecast
Martin Kidston/Missoula Current
The city's Affordable Housing Trust Fund awarded more than $1 million in revenue earlier this year to a handful of projects, and it stands poised to see millions of additional dollars flow into its account over the coming years.
The standing of the Trust Fund and the city's ongoing effort to develop housing of all types, particularly affordable housing, was deeply buried in this year's budgeting process. But city officials said the wheels are turning on the housing front and progress stands on the horizon.
“We do have a confident mid-to long-term forecast for the fund,” said Eran Pehan, director of the city's department of housing and development. “We have the sale of two very large city-owned parcels, the Payne Block and Scott Street, and proceeds from the redevelopment of the Sleepy Inn.”
The city was gifted the Payne Block in downtown Missoula several years ago as part of the process around the new public library. The city plans to begin selecting a development partner this summer, and the Missoula Economic Partnership will help vet potential development partners.
The city used a similar process on its Scott Street property. It partnered with Ravara two years ago and developed plans to build around 70 deed-restricted homes and several hundred apartments.
The City Council last year approved the sale of the Scott Street property to Ravara for $1.6 million and expects to see construction begin soon.
“We have properties that are going to be developed in partnership with the private sector,” said Dale Bickell, the city's chief administrative officer. “Under city ordinance, the proceeds from those sales are required to be placed into the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.”
The city holds other property as well, including several acres on Johnson Street, the Missoula Water building and the Sleepy Inn parcel, both on West Broadway. All are eyed for redevelopment, and the proceeds will further feed the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
Ellen Buchanan, director of the Missoula Redevelopment Agency, said the Sleepy Inn property will likely hit the market later this year.
“We're waiting on the ability to get contractors involved with the Sleepy Inn parcel to do some asbestos and lead-based paint abatement,” Buchanan said. “We're probably looking at mid to late fall before we can get those buildings down, at which time that property will be actively marketed.”
The sale of city-owned land isn't the only tool the city has its disposal to grow the Trust Fund. This year's city budget invested $250,000 into the fund, and the Missoula Redevelopment Agency has contributed more than $1 million to the fund annually.
That investment is dependent upon the success of the city's urban renewal districts and MRA's ability to support large projects that bolster the city's tax base. That's done by pairing public infrastructure with each new development, or offsetting costs that would otherwise fall to the city's general fund.
"MRA has been investing much more than $1 million in recent years, and I expect that trend to continue,” Bickell said.
Pehan said the blend of funding sources marks an intentional effort by the city to diversify the revenue that supports the Trust Fund. Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits may be the most powerful tool available to the city to pursue more deed restricted and subsidized housing, Pehan added.
The tool was used to build the Villagio and Trinity apartment projects, both of which are under construction. When completed, the two projects will bring 404 units of affordable housing to the market.
Along with the Scott Street project and smaller projects across the city, Pehan added that as many as 500 affordable housing units should come online over the next two years.
“We're pushing at the state level for a state housing trust as well, and that could match and leverage those federal tax credits,” Pehan said. “We're looking at how regulations paired with the subsidy could help us further our goal to get more of those deed restricted units to the market.”
The city also intends to begin reforming its code this year. Doing so could remove some regulatory barriers for construction. Already, Pehan said, housing construction across the city is robust.
“In the last year, we have permitted just shy of 1,400 dwelling units, both single-family homes and rentals, but the vast majority were rental units,” Pehan said. “We should see about 1,100 rental units come online in the next 18 months if all of those projects move ahead at the pace they anticipated when they pulled those building permits.” | https://missoulacurrent.com/missoula-housing-trust-2/ | 2022-08-24T01:43:11Z | https://missoulacurrent.com/missoula-housing-trust-2/ | false | 1 |
Arctic Monkeys debuted a brand new song called ‘I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am’ tonight (August 23) at their gig as part of Zurich Openair festival in Switzerland – see the performance below.
The new song is the first taster fans have got from the band’s upcoming seventh studio album.
Per footage posted online by fans, the song is a perky, retro-sounding track that feels in line with the band’s last album, 2018’s ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’.
The band’s comeback gigs so far had seen them dust off ‘Potion Approaching’ for the first time since 2011 and play ‘That’s Where You’re Wrong’ for the first time since 2013, but no new music had yet been shared.
Watch the live debut of ‘I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am’, the first taster of new Arctic Monkeys material, below.

The band’s drummer, Matt Helders, recently spoke about the band’s upcoming new album, saying that musically it “picks up where ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’ left off”.
The Sheffield four-piece have yet to officially announce the follow-up to their May 2018 album but new music from the band is expected to arrive this year given that the band are now out on tour.
After it emerged in August 2021 that the band had been recording new music in Suffolk, Helders told BBC Radio 5 Live in November that Arctic Monkeys “always do try and do something a bit different” with each release.
This weekend, Arctic Monkeys will headline the Reading & Leeds festivals – their only two UK live appearances scheduled for 2022 so far – while their tour will also visit Europe, North America, South America and Australia. | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/watch-arctic-monkeys-debut-a-new-song-i-aint-quite-where-i-think-i-am-live-at-zurich-gig-3296311 | 2022-08-24T01:46:01Z | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/watch-arctic-monkeys-debut-a-new-song-i-aint-quite-where-i-think-i-am-live-at-zurich-gig-3296311 | false | 4 |

Earnings: Intuit (INTU) Q4 profit drops but tops expectations; revenue down 6%

Adjusted earnings decreased to $1.10 per share in the latest quarter from $1.97 per share in the fourth quarter of 2021 but exceeded the forecast. On an unadjusted basis, it was a net loss of $56 million or $0.20 per share, compared to a profit of $380 million or $1.37 per share last year.

The MP is alleged to have obtained a financial advantage in breach of the Parliamentary Remuneration Act of 2014.
The Prosecution in the trial of SODELPA MP Salote Radrodro has reiterated that the evidence has been consistent that her permanent residence is Tacirua.
The MP is alleged to have obtained a financial advantage in breach of the Parliamentary Remuneration Act of 2014.
Radrodro allegedly falsely stated that her permanent residence was in Namulomulo village, Nabouwalu, Bua, and obtained $37,920 between August 2019 and April 2020.
FICAC Prosecutor Rashmi Aslam highlighted that from 1st August 2019 to 30th April 2020, out of the total 171 days of this period, Radrodro only spent 57 days in Namulomulo, Nabouwalu in Bua.
He adds that 82 days were spent in Suva for Parliament and committee meetings while 89 days were spent in the capital, not for Parliament purposes.
Aslam told the court that Radrodro’s residence in Tacirua has been her family home for 31 years, and is close to Parliament compared to Namulomulo.
He adds that Radrodro stated that her permanent residence, Tacirua was noted in all the details she provided to all agencies and immigration, except for Parliament.
Aslam also pointed out that she lives with her husband in Tacirua yet they have different details as she has stated to Parliament, noting that Namulomulo is her permanent residence.
Aslam also referred to the letter to Parliament by Radrodro where she stated the background that her family home was built in 2000 at Namulomulo as their second home which they go to for holidays and to stay close to family there.
Aslam stated that this status quo has not changed as it remains her second home and not her permanent residence.
However, Radrodro now calls Namulomulo her forever home.
The closing submissions continue by the prosecution which will be followed by the defence counsel. | https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/news/court/radrodros-closing-submissions-underway/ | 2022-08-24T02:07:52Z | https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/news/court/radrodros-closing-submissions-underway/ | false | 1 |

Hearts of Oka attacker, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh is likely to leave the club before the start of the 2022/23 football season in Ghana.
This is because there are a lot of clubs chasing the signature of the highly-rated forward.
The latest club that has shown interest in the services of the forward is Norwegian club Vikings FK.
According to information gathered, the club has offered Hearts of Oak a deal that could see the side earn a sum of $200,000 if they agree to let go of the player.
While the deal is being considered, it is highly possible that the club will eventually make a decision that suits all parties.
Already, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh has made it clear he wishes to move to Europe to continue his career.
Although Hearts of Oak wants more money from the transfer, the club is open to letting him go after signing attackers including Maxwell Abbey Quaye, Ouatching, and Kaaba.
However, at the moment, nothing has been agreed upon. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/Daniel-Afriyie-Barnieh-linked-with-a-move-to-Norwegian-club-Vikings-FK-1608788 | 2022-08-24T02:09:02Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/Daniel-Afriyie-Barnieh-linked-with-a-move-to-Norwegian-club-Vikings-FK-1608788 | true | 2 |
Another day, more thrills from the Premier League! This league is the most unpredictable in the world and that just increases ten-fold because no result is foregone till the fat lady sings. This is our wrap for today’s fixtures.
Newcastle United 3 – 3 Manchester City
The Magpies almost did it! Call it the Oil Classico or the Sportswashing Derby, this was one of the Premier League’s classic games because it had everything.
A sublime free-kick goal, more goals, a delicious assist and even some VAR drama, what more could you want? When Ilkay Gündogan opened the scoring for City in the 5th minute, a lot of people must have thought that this was just going to be another processional game for City. But no, Eddie Howe is building something strong at United and they fought relentlessly after conceding the first goal. Allan Saint Maximin ran amok against the City defence and provided 2 assists for Miguel Almiron in the 28th minute and Callum Wilson in the 39th minute for Newcastle to take the lead. Pep Guardiola looked shell shocked going to the second half trailing behind. 9 minutes into the second half, Kieran Trippier did it again, a well placed free-kick earned Newcastle a two goal cushion. The Bath Beckham has scored 3 dead ball goals since his return into the Premier League. But the story wasn’t going to end there, especially with a team of Manchester City’s pedigree. In a spell of 4 minutes, Erling Haaland and Bernando Silva levelled the game for City. The latter with a scrumptious assist from Kevin De Bruyne. The main talking point, though will be about Kieran Trippier’s rescinded red card (changed to yellow) after a VAR check. Trippier flew into a high challenge against a marauding De Bruyne and that contentious moment could set the standard for the season. In large potions of the game when United where leading, Guardiola looked really worried. Could it be that Eddie Howe has already built a monster but he hasn’t used the full potential of the oil funds available to him?
Leeds 3 – 0 Chelsea
Edouard Mendy set the ball rolling but in the wrong direction when he tried to cleverly beat a pressing Brenden Aaronson in the 33rd minute, that costly mistake resulted in a goal and that seemed to shift the momentum completely away from Chelsea. From that moment, it seemed like Thomas Tuchel was outclassed in every department by his opposite number, Jesse Marsch. A 4th goal in three games for Rodrigo made sure that Leeds went into the break sauntering high and relishing the chance to play the demoralized Blues again the second half. They were right, the man of the moment, Rodrigo, set up, Leed’s 3rd goal scored by Jack Harrison and that was game, set and match for the Whites. New acquisition Kalidou Koulibaly made things even worse for his side, Chelsea when he was shown a second yellow card and sent off. Chelsea have still never won back to back league games at Elland Road.
Rest of the Grounds!

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The trial law firms Carpenter & Zuckerman (CZ Law) and Ellzey & Associates have won a $212K jury verdict against Austin's Yellow Rose Adult Entertainment Club for multiple Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) violations against two dancers from 2017 through 2020. The case was tried in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas.
U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman, like 50 other federal judges, ruled that the two dancers were employees of the defendant, the Yellow Rose - a point which the Yellow Rose unsuccessfully tried to dispute. Trial lawyers John Kristensen of CZ Law and Jarrett Ellzey of Ellzey & Associates successfully proved to jurors that the Yellow Rose failed to pay the dancers minimum wage as required by law, knew or showed reckless disregard for its conduct which was prohibited by the FLSA, required and/or coerced the dancers to pay Yellow Rose portions of their own tip monies and required and/or coerced the dancers to pay fees or fines to the Yellow Rose for the business' own benefit.
"The Yellow Rose took up to $250 a shift from the dancers in direct violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act," said Ellzey. "The jury rightfully held the Yellow Rose accountable for its illegal practices."
Through the trial, it was revealed that the Yellow Rose forced the two dancers to pay other Yellow Rose employees, such as DJs and managers, as well as the Yellow Rose itself, a "daily license fee" or "house fee" upon arrival to work. Once they finished their shifts, the dancers would again be required to pay DJs and managers of the Yellow Rose, who controlled their ability to leave through "bye-bye" slips which required a DJ and manager's signature before the dancers' shifts could formally end.
"Too often, adult entertainment clubs will utilize unscrupulous tactics to carry out wage theft against the very dancers who bring people to their businesses in the first place," said Kristensen. "The jury's ruling against the Yellow Rose sends the message that this illegal behavior will not be tolerated."
The Yellow Rose must pay the dancers a total of $212K in wage theft damages. CZ Law and Ellzey & Associates will be filing to double the damages as liquidated.

For years, Staples Canada has advertised back-to-school supplies to the tune of the “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” with parents eager to see their children return to class after a busy summer.
But back-to-school supplies can quickly add up, and parents already feeling the crunch from a rising cost of living may need to strategize how they approach this shopping season.
More than one in three Canadians, or 36.2 per cent, expect to spend more money this year compared with last when it comes to back-to-school shopping, according to a survey released by Caddle in partnership with the Retail Council of Canada. Just over half think they’ll spend the same as last year and less than 14 per cent said they’ll be spending less.
And the expenses can quickly add up.
“No matter what you’re paying for when it comes to returning to school, even the smallest of supplies can feel overwhelming for some families, given the rise in inflation and the instability of our current economy,” said Alyssa Davies, founder of the Mixed Up Money website and author of “Financial First Aid.”
“In addition, most of us have seen a steep increase in our groceries and other essentials, so buying new clothing or school supplies for kids can feel overwhelming for some.”
Given how much items in grocery stores have increased over the past six months, it would be hard to believe parents won’t be spending more on school supplies simply because of inflation, she said.
For parents with young children, the costs can add up since parents are often buying everything for the first time, especially if their kids are entering preschool or kindergarten.
“You need to get backpacks, indoor shoes, lunch kits, etc.” Davies said.
“Although parents with older children may be able to reuse supplies from previous years, technology is the most significant expense I hear parents concerned about. Whether it’s the expectation from the school to have a laptop of some kind or the social pressure from peers, it can stress families out.”
Parents can feel strong pressure to ensure their kids “fit in” and have the same brands, supplies and styles that the other students do, Davies said.
“Unfortunately, letting comparison dictate your spending habits is never a good way to stay on budget.”
Davies recommends parents consider buying certain items second-hand or reusing older supplies from previous years if there are any left.
“Although your child might have moved past their ‘Paw Patrol’ obsession, it doesn’t mean they can’t use that backpack for one more school year. I also recommend avoiding higher-priced stores as option one and instead hitting the dollar store to see if you can check off the majority of your list first.”
Janet Gray, money coach at Money Coaches Canada, said preparing parents for back-to-school expenses is not that much different than helping them save for holiday shopping.
However, advanced planning is key.
For example, if parents know that each year they’re going to spend $500 per child on back-to-school expenses, Gray recommends they set aside $50 per month 10 months prior so it’s less “pain and strain” on their day-to-day or monthly expenses.
Gray also advises parents to start their shopping with a pre-determined amount they’re ready to spend on essentials, and maybe allow an additional $50 or so that can go towards wants or upgrading to certain items like a brand name binder, backpack or jeans.
“Try to limit the wants because the wants could never end,” Gray added. And, if your kids are old enough, have a discussion about what’s most important to them, so they can negotiate between their wants and their needs. This might look like keeping an old backpack in favour of a newer, more expensive item of clothing, she said.
You also don’t need to buy everything before school starts, Gray said. If some items can be staggered, you might realize you need less than you thought.
The surveys were conducted in June 2022 using Caddle’s mobile platform and an online panel. According to the polling industry’s generally accepted standards, online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.

Chelsea star Trevoh Chalobah wanted by Inter Milan in loan transfer with defender facing Fofana competition at the back
INTER MILAN reportedly want Chelsea youngster Trevoh Chalobah on loan.
The Blues have agreed personal terms with centre-back Wesley Fofana but cannot settle on a fee with Leicester.
Chalobah, 23, is reportedly prepared to leave on loan and get more playing time if he faces more competition.
Inter have approached the Blues to seek a deal for the youngster.
Simone Inzaghi is said to want Chalobah as part of a back three at the San Siro.
Chalobah shot onto the Premier League scene last season with a stunning strike from distance on his debut.
He went on to make 20 appearances, and even scored in the Champions League against Juventus at Stamford Bridge.
The West London club say they don't want to let the prospect out on a temporary deal but Inter may try and seek a solution.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Chelsea will seek a deal only once they have defensive cover, with Fofana the priority.
Thomas Tuchel has been chasing the 21-year-old for the last few weeks and is keen to sign him before the transfer window shuts on September 1.

But Chelsea are well off Leicester's £85million asking price for the defender.
The star fears he will be being priced out of a switch to Stamford Bridge this summer.
The Foxes are refusing to budge but could be forced to cash in on the Frenchman as he's handed in a transfer request. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2712621056070/chelsea-star-trevoh-chalobah-wanted-by-inter-milan-in-loan-transfer-with-defender-facing-fofana-competition-at-the-back | 2022-08-24T02:27:00Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2712621056070/chelsea-star-trevoh-chalobah-wanted-by-inter-milan-in-loan-transfer-with-defender-facing-fofana-competition-at-the-back | true | 5 |
Is this the REAL reason why Anthony Albanese is gunning for Scott Morrison? Wild theory 'obsessed' PM is out for blood over the sins of the past
- Former PM Scott Morrison secretly swore himself into five ministerial portfolios
- He has been cleared of any illegality but Anthony Albanese wants an inquiry
- Coalition MPs say he is 'obsessed' with Mr Morrison and acting for political gain
- But prime minister said an inquiry is needed with several questions unanswered
Anthony Albanese has been accused of being 'obsessed' with Scott Morrison and pursuing the secret jobs scandal purely to inflict maximum political damage on the Coalition.
The prime minister - who is riding high in the polls - revealed on Tuesday he will push for an inquiry into why and how his predecessor secretly swore himself into five ministerial portfolios, despite the moves being ruled completely legal.
Although the type of inquiry has not been decided, comparisons are already being drawn to when Tony Abbott called two Royal Commissions relating to the former Labor government.
One examined Kevin Rudd's 2009 Home Insulation Program, in which four tradies were killed, and the other probed union corruption and included the questioning of Julia Gillard's former boyfriend from 1990, Bruce Wilson.
Scott Morrison (pictured with wife Jenny) swore himself in as minister for health, finance, resources, home affairs and as treasurer in 2020 and 2021, without tell the public or Cabinet
Anthony Albanese has sought to get in front of suggestions his inquiry is politically motivated
Mr Albanese has sought to get out in front of any suggestions his inquiry is politically motivated.
'It needs to be not a political inquiry but an inquiry with an eminent person with a legal background to consider all the implications,' he said on Tuesday.
But Coalition MPs believe the prime minister is pursuing the issue for his own political gain.
Luke Howarth, Liberal MP for Petrie, told Daily Mail Australia: 'Australians don't want this negative politics.
Tony Abbott called a Royal Commission which probed union corruption and included the questioning of Julia Gillard's former boyfriend Bruce Wilson. Ms Gillard is pictured in 2013 with her more recent boyfriend Tim Mathieson
Ex-union official and the former boyfriend of Julia Gillard, Bruce Wilson
'Anthony Albanese is obsessed with Scott Morrison, which I find disturbing.
'He needs to get on with governing, stop looking in the rear view mirror and concentrate on his commitments such as reducing power bills by $275 a year.'
Mr Morrison secretly swore himself in as minister for health, finance, resources, home affairs and as treasurer in 2020 and 2021, without tell the public or Cabinet.
Legal advice to Mr Albanese from the solicitor-general said Mr Morrison's moves were completely legal but 'undermined' the principle of responsible government.
Mr Albanese said he would make sure all future ministerial appointments are required to be made public.
But even after fixing the loophole, he still wants a further inquiry.
'Clearly, there is a need to ensure there is absolute confidence in our political system going forward,' he said on Tuesday.
Mr Morrison has said he will co-operate but insisted that any Covid-19 inquiry should also involve the state premiers.
Liberal senator Hollie Hughes also said an inquiry just focussing on Mr Morrison would be wrong.
Another of Tony Abbott's royal commissions examined Kevin Rudd's 2009 Home Insulation Program in which four tradies were killed. Mr Rudd is pictured with wife Therese Rein in 2008
'An inquiry into the national Covid response, including the actions of the former Prime Minister is the right pathway forward,' she told Daily Mail Australia.
'All leaders, including Premiers, should be subject to scrutiny. Not just Scott Morrison.
She added: 'The Solicitor-General's advice has cleared the former Prime Minister of any illegality. It's time for Anthony Albanese to move on.'
Deputy Liberal leader Sussan Ley urged Mr Albanese to focus on the cost of living crisis, saying: 'I don't support the continued focus on events of two years ago.'
Liberal senator Hollie Hughes said an inquiry just focussing on Mr Morrison would be wrong
And Mr Abbott said a review would be better than an inquiry, adding: 'When you don't get good sensible behaviour, the best recourse is through the political process.'
Malcolm Turnbull said the inquiry must examine the public servants who knew about Mr Morrison's power grab but failed to push back.
It comes after a Resolve Strategic poll published in Nine newspapers on Tuesday shows Labor has lifted its primary vote to 42 per cent, from about 33 per cent ahead of the May 21 election.
The Coalition's primary vote is down to 28 per cent from 36 per cent.
Mr Albanese is leading Opposition Leader Peter Dutton on the preferred prime minister stakes by 55 per cent to 17 per cent.
'It's not uncommon for a new government to enjoy a honeymoon period where voters are hopeful for change under the new management,' Resolve director Jim Reed told Nine newspapers.
'But the size of Labor's vote gain is more than that. This is a relieved electorate affirming they collectively made the right choice.'
The poll of 2011 voters and was conducted from Wednesday to Sunday when the furore over revelations that Mr Morrison had himself secretly sworn into five ministerial portfolios was hitting the headlines.
Labor minister Bill Shorten said the poll showed the positivity expressed towards the party at the election was continuing. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11139857/Anthony-Albanese-pushes-Scott-Morrison-inquiry-Coalition-probed-Julia-Gillard-Kevin-Rudd.html | 2022-08-24T02:27:24Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11139857/Anthony-Albanese-pushes-Scott-Morrison-inquiry-Coalition-probed-Julia-Gillard-Kevin-Rudd.html | false | 2 |

New Delhi, August 23
India head coach Rahul Dravid has tested positive for Covid and didn’t accompany the Rohit Sharma-led team that left for Dubai to compete in the Asia Cup, BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed today.
The tournament begins on Saturday and India play arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening game on Sunday.
“Head coach Rahul Dravid has tested positive for Covid in a routine test conducted ahead of the team’s departure to the UAE for the Asia Cup 2022. Dravid is under the supervision of the BCCI medical team and has mild symptoms. He will join the team once he returns with a negative Covid report,” Shah said. Assistant coach Paras Mhambrey will be in charge. | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/sports/india-without-rahul-dravid-for-asia-cup-as-of-now-424670 | 2022-08-24T02:36:25Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/sports/india-without-rahul-dravid-for-asia-cup-as-of-now-424670 | false | null |
(The Hill) – Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla.) is projected to win Florida’s Democratic primary for governor on Tuesday, setting up a general election matchup against Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican heavyweight who’s seen as a potential 2024 presidential contender.
The Associated Press called the race at 8 p.m.
Crist, who won the governor’s mansion as a Republican more than 15 years ago, defeated state Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried in the Democratic nominating contest.
His victory sets him up for his second general election campaign to reclaim the office since he vacated the governor’s mansion in 2011, having opted against running for a second consecutive term.
He lost a bid for governor to incumbent Rick Scott in 2014 before winning a seat in the U.S. House representing St. Petersburg in 2016.
Throughout her campaign, Fried, the lone statewide elected Democrat, sought to cast herself as a new face for Florida Democrats, who have struggled for years to fix a crumbling party infrastructure and reverse a painful losing streak.
But in nominating Crist, Florida Democrats turned to a familiar face to help them reclaim the governor’s mansion after more than 20 years of being locked out, convinced that his brand of collegial, compromise-minded politics can help win over moderates and independents turned off by DeSantis’s combative political style.
Defeating DeSantis, however, is shaping up to be a herculean task.
The Florida governor has a swelling national profile, is a rising star among conservatives and has so far raised more than $100 million for his reelection campaign — far more than anything that Crist has. Recent polling shows DeSantis’ approval rating above water, a positive sign for an incumbent seeking a second term in office.
Of course, there’s still time for things to change. Despite his popularity among the Republican Party’s conservative base, DeSantis isn’t immune to controversy. And with the Democratic primary now out of the way, the party still has a chance to coalesce around Crist ahead of the November election.
Crist said on Monday that Florida Democrats are planning to hold a unity rally in South Florida later this week, though Fried hasn’t yet committed to endorsing Crist. | https://www.valleycentral.com/hill-politics/crist-to-face-off-against-desantis-for-florida-governor/ | 2022-08-24T02:37:52Z | https://www.valleycentral.com/hill-politics/crist-to-face-off-against-desantis-for-florida-governor/ | true | 29 |

DEMOREST, Ga. (AP) — Sandra Deal, the wife of former Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal who was noted for her advocacy of early literacy during her husband's two terms, died Tuesday at age 80.
The Deal family announced that Sandra Deal died Tuesday from breast cancer that metastasized into brain cancer at the family home in the northeast Georgia town of Demorest, surrounded by the former governor and other family members.
Deal, who was a teacher in Hall County for more than 15 years, achieved a goal while first lady of reading to schoolchildren in all 159 counties, all 181 Georgia school districts, and numerous prekindergarten classes, ultimately visiting more than 1,000 schools.
“A child’s brain develops at a remarkable pace between birth and his or her eighth birthday, and this growth depends on a solid start,” Deal wrote in a 2018 opinion piece in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “The earlier we can help children learn about their emotions and getting along with others, the better we can inspire them to seek to know more about the world, and it is more likely that they will find success later in life.”
Deal co-chaired the Georgia Literacy Commission, promoting reading proficiency by third grade. In 2017, the Sandra Dunagan Deal Center for Early Language and Literacy was named for her at Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, where Deal graduated from college.
Deal was first diagnosed with breast cancer while her husband was still in office, having surgery to remove a tumor in 2018.
“The public Sandra Deal matched the private Sandra Deal,” her family said in a statement. “She gave to others selflessly, unfailingly and unceasingly. We will miss her but count ourselves lucky that we were hers. She leaves a world that’s better because she was here."
Details of a memorial service will be announced later. | https://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-news/sandra-deal-wife-of-georgia-ex-gov-nathan-deal-dies-at-80/LARVN6YL2ZCDXJPM2KWPJSUGDQ/ | 2022-08-24T02:43:39Z | https://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-news/sandra-deal-wife-of-georgia-ex-gov-nathan-deal-dies-at-80/LARVN6YL2ZCDXJPM2KWPJSUGDQ/ | true | 16 |

Team India cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara added yet another sensational ton to his tally of runs for Sussex in the ongoing Royal London One-Day Cup 2022. Leading the team against Middlesex on Tuesday, Pujara completed his third century of the current season in 75 balls and went on to score 132 runs off 90 balls during his outing at the crease. Pujara’s knock of 132 runs, alongside Tom Alsop’s 189 off 155, powered Sussex to a first innings total of 400/4.
A century from just 75 balls for @cheteshwar1. 🤩 💯
— Sussex Cricket (@SussexCCC) August 23, 2022
Just phemeomenal. 💫 pic.twitter.com/z6vrKyqDfp
While Sussex emerged victorious in the match by 157 runs, Pujara surpassed his fellow Indian cricketer Virat Kohli in an elite list. The 34-year-old hit 20 fours and two sixes during his knock, with a strike rate of 146.22. Courtesy of his magnificent knock, Pujara bettered his average score of runs in List A cricket to 57.49, which is higher than former India captain Virat Kohli's 56.50.
Pujara’s career average currently stands at 57.48 which is the third-best average in List A cricket for any batsman with more than 50 innings. He is third only behind Warwickshire star batter Sam Hain and Australian legend Michael Bevan, with average of 58.84 and 57.86 runs respectively. On the other hand, Pakistan's Babar Azam currently sits fourth in the list with 56.56 in 153 innings followed by Kohli, 56.60 in 286 innings.
The Indian cricketer’s knock on Tuesday also took his total tally of runs in the Royal London One-Day Cup across the 500-run mark. He currently sits second in the list of highest run scorers this season, with a tally of 614 runs in eight innings, which includes three centuries in total. Pujara has registered knocks of 9 (16), 63 (71), 14* (7), 107 (79), 174 (131), 49* (68), 66 (66), 132 (90) in the eight games he has played so far.
It is pertinent to mention that courtesy of the 157-run win over Middlesex on Tuesday, Sussex topped the Group A points table with six wins and two defeats. This led to the team fixing their place in a home semi-final. Celebrating the win, Sussex took to their official Instagram handle and said, “We’ve won Group A and we’re straight through to a home semi-final!”. | https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/cricket-news/cheteshwar-pujara-blasts-third-quick-fire-ton-for-sussex-goes-past-kohli-in-elite-list-articleshow.html | 2022-08-24T02:52:32Z | https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/cricket-news/cheteshwar-pujara-blasts-third-quick-fire-ton-for-sussex-goes-past-kohli-in-elite-list-articleshow.html | true | 1 |
Anal foreplay is often overlooked, as many people think it’s just a warm-up for anal sex (and not everyone is into that). However, the entrance to the anus is packed with nerve endings, making it highly sensitive, and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t explore it during foreplay if you’re intrigued.
Foreplay isn’t just about stimulating the body, it’s also about arousing the mind. For many people, anal play feels a little bit “wrong” — which funnily enough can be a huge turn-on in itself. Sometimes the fear of rejection, judgement, or a negative reaction means the subject of anal foreplay is never broached. However, talking as openly as you can about fantasies and boundaries can bring you closer together — you may even discover shared turn-ons you never knew about.
If your curiosity has gotten the better of you and you want to try anal foreplay, there are a few things to think about before you dive right in.
Get clean and comfortable
To make yourself feel as comfortable as possible beforehand, it is a good idea to have a thorough clean before you begin. Not only will a shower get you clean but it may help to relax you more too — and the more relaxed you are, the more pleasure you will get from the experience. Mentally, it might also help to go to the bathroom before you begin.
Solo stimulation
If you’ve never really dabbled in anal play before, we’d recommend exploring the sensations for yourself first, if you feel comfortable. This can mean exploring around the anus with (clean) fingers, or a vibrator or anal toy and lube (lots of lube). The anus has little natural lubrication of its own, so cover your fingers (or toy) and the entrance to the anus with plenty of anal lubricants. We love Frenchie’s Oh La La Love Lube ($24), Lovehoney’s Discover Water-Based Anal Lubricant ($14.95) or Adam and Eve’s Water-Based Anal Lubricant ($15.99).
Rim jobs are good, actually
Once you’re comfortable with that, and if your partner is keen, you can start exploring anal play together. There’s a reason rimming has become so popular in recent years. The entry to the anus is full of nerve endings that can provide pleasure in and of itself. Start with fingers, tongue, or a very small sex toy (and a lot of lube) and explore around the anus.
You may enter
Once you get used to the different sensations outside the booty, you can slowly start to enter. We say slowly because unlike in every anal porno you’ve ever watched, you should be going very slowly. Vigorously inserting anything into any hole can be damaging to the tissue inside the body and lead to things like infections, so you’re going to want to go easy on entry.
You also want to stay nice and shallow in the beginning. The nerve endings you’re trying to stimulate that cause arousal are in the anus and not all the way up there. Going too deep is generally the painful part and also the part that makes you feel like you need to poo.
Butt plugs are your friend
Before you dive right in with a dick, you should get familiar with butt plugs. Butt plugs were designed for anal foreplay and to help you get used to different depths, widths and sensations. You can buy a beginner’s butt plug kit online where you can gradually get bigger and bigger working your way up to a penis-sized plug. It makes sense that you might want to see what it feels like before committing to anal sex in a lower-stakes environment.
Hot tip: As you start to insert different-sized butt plugs, remember to breathe and relax. The tenser you are, the more you’ll contract your muscles and block the pathways to pleasure.
Butt plugs we love
For beginners, we recommend Lovehoney’s Booty Bound Anal Training Silicone Butt Plug Set, $64.95. It comes with three different-sized butt plugs so you can slowly graduate from one to another for a more intense sensation.
If you’re already playing around with butt plugs, we like the Satisfyer Booty Call Butt Plug Set, ($26.99). It comes as a set of three and each butt plug has a different texture and shape, so you can explore different sensations.
For more experienced booty players, we love Hot Octopuss’ PleX with Flex, ($149.95). Described as a throbbing good time, the PleX with Flex features a flexible bass that bends up to 90 degrees. This means PleX moves with your body no matter what you get up to, making it super comfortable to wear. It also has five different vibration patterns, so you can find exactly what tickles your fancy.
Double up on pleasure
If you’re finding it hard to completely let go and relax (totally understandable btw), try adding some clitoral stimulation into the mix. It can help vulva-owners to relax and become fully aroused. If you need a new mini vibrator to bring into the bedroom, we love Rosewell’s Dip, $129.95, AMO’s Bullet Vibrator, $69.95, and the Satisfyer Pro 2, $69.99.
The most important thing to remember when you’re engaging in any kind of anal foreplay is that if it hurts, stop. No good can come of pushing through the pain. Do what you’re comfortable with and do it safely.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Months before Russia invaded Ukraine, Yaroslav Yemelianenko decided to set up a battery-operated camera showing his company’s tourist information center at a checkpoint near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Imagine his surprise when sitting in his Kyiv apartment on Feb. 24, his livestream showed dozens of Russian tanks driving south from Chernobyl, the site of the world’s worst nuclear power disaster, toward the Ukrainian capital.
“In two hours, we saw a huge amount of Russian equipment on the cameras,” Yemelianenko, the founder of Chernobyl Tour, said Tuesday.
Russian troops shut off all official government surveillance cameras, but didn’t notice the small camera Yemelianenko had installed to monitor his booth where his employees sold souvenirs and postcards to tourists.
Chernobyl Tour had been taking tourists through the “exclusion zone,” the radioactive area surrounding the plant, showing them the facility, a nearby city the Soviets built to house workers and radioactive forests.
Yemelianenko immediately decided to provide his video to the Ukrainian government. For several days, while the battery power lasted, Yemelianenko and colleagues monitored and transmitted data to the Ukrainian army every 10 to 15 minutes.
“Psychologically, it was difficult. On the one hand, we read the news with reassurance that no one would enter Kyiv. At the same time, we kept counting the number of (pieces of) Russian military equipment,” Yemelianenko said in an interview.
The stream of Russian military equipment just kept coming, all shown on the video monitor. Tanks, along with trucks carrying troops and communications equipment, stream along the gray road, past Yemlianenko’s booth bearing a radiation symbol and his company’s name, in English. So much Russian equipment was on the road that traffic jams developed on the way to Kyiv, 94 miles (150 kilometers) away.
After a few days, the signal was lost. Russian troops had seized the power plant, scene of the April 1986 nuclear catastrophe. But Yemelianenko and his team had already developed an alternative — a network of informants in villages near Chernobyl. Even though Russian forces already occupied these villages, the locals risked their safety to provide Yemelianenko details on the positions of military equipment.
Ukrainian forces subsequently took back control of the Chernobyl plant. With the passage of time and the military focus shifting elsewhere, the videos have made their way into the public domain.
The video offers a rare, first-hand glimpse into Russia’s earliest invasion moves, when the plan was to take Kyiv. Russian troops retreated from the capital in late March. Since then, Yemelianenko and his team have been volunteering in liberated villages to provide food and medicine.
While the risk of additional radiation leaks has abated at Chernobyl, it has increased because of fighting near Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, also in Ukraine, Zaporizhzhia.

VALCOURT, QC, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO) reports that, following the recent cyberattack, information on certain employees and suppliers accessed by an unauthorized third party has been leaked on the dark web.
While the investigation is still ongoing, the evidence collected so far allows BRP to believe that the impact of this incident from a data privacy perspective should be limited, as mentioned in the press release issued on August 15, 2022.
BRP confirms that it has already contacted the very few employees who may have been impacted by the incident. The appropriate resources have been made available to them, including credit monitoring services. Based on the current status of its investigation, BRP also believes that the compromised information relating to certain of its suppliers is limited in quantity and sensitivity, and is in the process of contacting them.

Twitch has updated the policy behind its partner and affiliate exclusivity guidelines, now allowing these creators to make certain types of live content for other platforms.
The streaming platform updated its Partner Exclusivity FAQ section on the Twitch website, which says that partners can now stream more live content to different rival social media and streaming platforms.
Partners can stream from elsewhere immediately after their Twitch stream ends, as the website says: “Once your Twitch live streams end, you may live stream elsewhere immediately.”
Twitch has also changed its policy on partners that do simultaneous streaming, although not entirely. Partners can now simultaneously stream on “short form” and mobile service platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
That said, simultaneous streaming to web-based Twitch-like platforms akin to YouTube and Facebook is still not allowed, with Twitch citing a “sub-optimal experience for your community” as its reasoning for the rule. Partners can still advertise their other platforms in their Twitch panels and during their streams, and also promote their Twitch channel on any other platform as well.
Elsewhere, TwitchCon recently backtracked and enforced a mask mandate at this year’s event following community backlash.
“We’ve heard from many of you that you want a safer TwitchCon, so we’re updating our policy,” said Twitch in a Tweet. “Masks will be required indoors, as well as either proof of vaccination or a negative covid test. Let’s make the ultimate squad up safe and accessible for everyone.”
This was then followed by Faze Clan’s Nickmercs promoting their own maskless event with no vaccine mandates. | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/gaming-news/twitch-is-changing-its-partner-agreement-to-allow-simultaneous-streaming-3296401 | 2022-08-24T03:13:56Z | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/gaming-news/twitch-is-changing-its-partner-agreement-to-allow-simultaneous-streaming-3296401 | true | 4 |
- Thanks to LEGO® fans, the LEGO Foundation gives millions of children around the world the chance to play and learn
- LEGO Foundation partners with the LEGO Group and over 50
organisations globally to give millions of vulnerable children
playful learning opportunities - Last year, the LEGO Foundation provided grants of over $440 million
to help children reach their full potential through play
AeioTU is an amazing Colombian social enterprise organisation that works with communities across the country to ensure young children have the chance to learn and develop key skills through play. It runs centres and a series of collaborative programmes with parents, caregivers, teachers, and principals to help them understand why play is so important and show them the crucial role they have in helping children under 5 get the most out of play.
In 2021, aeioTU took its inspiring work to more children in some of the most remote and rural areas of Colombia. Children in these areas face a significantly lower rate of child development prospects than those in urban areas, which is where aeioTU had mainly carried out its programmes. Through a partnership with the LEGO Foundation, Fundación Pies Descalzos, and Universidad de los Andes, and with the support of government, aeioTU will now be able to reach and support the development of more than 11,000 children and 750 educators in rural locations throughout this year and next.
aeioTU is one of over 50 organisations globally that has worked with the LEGO Foundation in the last year to help children reach their full potential through play in 2021. Set up over 30 years ago by the founders of the LEGO Group, the Kirk Kristiansen family, the LEGO Foundation aims to help as many children as possible globally experience playful learning.
“Play has the power to changes lives. Every child, no matter where they are or the situation they are in, deserves the opportunity to learn through play and develop the life-long skills they need to thrive. The LEGO Foundation is committed to giving children globally opportunities to play in a way that can help shape their life in a profoundly positive way.” commented Thomas Kirk Kristiansen, fourth generation family owner.
Last year, the LEGO Foundation committed over US $440 million to giving children everywhere opportunities to play and learn – at home, at school or in communities. From supporting the immediate critical needs of children impacted by crises, to driving long-term lasting change through research and education programmes, the LEGO Foundation partners with charities, not-for-profit organisations, governments, research experts and the LEGO Group to make a positive impact on the lives of children in over 32 countries. For example:
- Working in partnership with 24 organisations to ensure over 30 million children still had opportunities to play and learn during the COVID-19 pandemic. This support included playful, educational radio programmes created by BRAC that reached an estimated 14 million children in Tanzania, Uganda, and Bangladesh during lockdowns.
- Supporting over six million children and caregivers in vulnerable situations as a result of refugee crises in 2021. This included the Play to Learn project run with Sesame Workshop, BRAC, International Rescue Committee and New York University which brought playful learning and nurturing care to displaced young children in Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Bangladesh.
- Giving 27,000 children who are blind or visually impaired the opportunity to experience LEGO® play with LEGO® Braille Bricks. More than 16,000 teachers have been trained to use the LEGO Braille Bricks toolkit, allowing them to share learning through play with children in 11 languages, across 20 countries.
- Partnering with the LEGO Group and charity Fairy Bricks to bring playful joy to children in hospices and hospitals across the UK and 26 other countries. In 2021, Fairy Bricks volunteers delivered over 100,000 LEGO sets to brighten the lives of sick children.
- Most recently, the LEGO Foundation, together with Ole Kirk's Fond and the LEGO Group, announced an emergency donation of USD 16.5 million to support the people of Ukraine - including children and their families through humanitarian aid and education resources.
The LEGO Foundation owns 25% of the LEGO Group, meaning a portion of the profits from the sale of LEGO products go to funding the LEGO Foundation's research, activities, and partnerships.

Anne-Birgitte Albrectsen, CEO of the LEGO Foundation, commented: “The early years of our lives lay the foundations for our life-long development. Children, families, and communities must have opportunities to flourish, and play is such an important factor. Every child, regardless of background, has the right to play and learn – and the LEGO Foundation exists to help ensure they get the chance. When families build with LEGO products, they are helping children around the world to thrive – both now and in the future.”
By 2032, the LEGO Foundation aims to transform the lives of more than 75 million children every year through playful learning and is working to:
- Help transform educational systems to ensure all children have the skills they need to thrive in the future
- Reach children around the world, including those who have been excluded, under-represented or impacted by crisis situations
- Accelerate research on the impact and value that play, and playful learning, can have on a child's development
- And, in partnership with the LEGO Group and other LEGO branded entities, give more children access to great playful learning opportunities in the communities where there are LEGO factories, offices and stores
Anne-Birgitte Albrectsen continues: “The world's children need our support to ensure they have the best start in life. Too many children face many barriers, over prolonged periods of time, that threaten their development. The impact of this can be felt for the rest of their lives, but if we work together, we can build safe, nurturing, stimulating environments that support children's well-being and holistic development. We have a collective responsibility to equip them with the skills they need to be the creative problem solvers of tomorrow.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — On the day when the Angels’ future was the topic because of owner Arte Moreno’s decision to explore the sale of the team, the present still looks bleak.
The Angels lost, 11-1, to the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night, dropping to 19 games under .500 for the first time since 2016.
The Angels (52-71) have been losing for months because their offense has been one of the worst in baseball. They trailed 3-1 on Tuesday night before letting the game get away when Jesse Chavez and Touki Toussaint gave up six runs in the seventh inning.
After left-hander José Quijada gave up two more runs in the eighth, the Angels turned to infielder Phil Gosselin to pitch. He retired all three hitters he faced.
The Rays finished the game with catcher Christian Bethancourt on the mound, and the Angels still didn’t score, despite two singles.
Their only run came on Mike Trout’s 25th homer of the season, his first since coming off the injured list on Friday. It also was the 1,500th hit of his career. Trout got a hanging curveball from Corey Kluber and launched it off the “C Ring,” the third of the four concentric rings that hang from the roof of Tropicana field.
Otherwise, the Angels managed just four hits, all singles, against Rays pitchers in the first eight innings. They did not have a runner in scoring position until the Rays put a catcher on the mound.
“We’re just struggling, quite a bit of the guys,” Manager Phil Nevin said. “I think we hit some balls hard through the top of the lineup here and there. But for the most part, we’re struggling offensively, especially the bottom of the order. You’ve got to be consistent through the entire lineup and we’re just not.”
The Angels have now scored six runs in the first five games of this trip, including four straight losses.
Patrick Sandoval pitched brilliantly in a four-hit shutout to start the trip, but since then the pitchers have made just enough mistakes to cost them.
On Tuesday night, left-hander José Suarez was not quite to the level he had been in his first few starts after adding a new changeup to his repertoire, allowing three runs in 5-1/3 innings.
“I didn’t have my best stuff today, but I was battling till I figured it out,” Suarez said through an interpreter. “That was it.”
Suarez now has a 1.93 ERA over his five starts since the All-Star break. Although he’s allowed six earned runs in 28 innings, five of them have come in just two innings.
He started Tuesday’s game with a couple of scoreless innings. In the third, he gave up a leadoff double to José Siri and then three straight one-out singles, driving in two runs.
Suarez followed that by retiring nine in a row before he allowed a homer to Isaac Paredes. It was the first homer that Suarez had allowed in the five-start stretch since the All-Star break.
“He pitched well enough for us to win a game,” Nevin said. “He really did. … I think he would tell you didn’t have his best stuff, but to pitch into the sixth and only give up three, to me that’s giving us a chance to win a game. We’re just not scoring enough.”

A Rose Bay man charged with running a dark web business that sold $7 million worth of cocaine, MDMA and prescription drugs in 60,000 different transactions will appear in court on Wednesday to face 26 further charges.
Brothers Alexander Busse, 39, and Ioan Busu, 33, from Chatswood, were arrested in May this year, the culmination of a two-year investigation into a dark web business named Aussiepillimporter by NSW Police’s cybercrime squad.
The bust saw the pair arrested, and the seizure of almost $60,000 in cash, a ring worth $100,000, and drugs including about 17 kilograms of tetrahydrocannabinol hidden in lollies, cocaine and MDMA, as well as thousands of tablets and three kilograms of powder.
“All items have since undergone forensic analysis,” police said in a statement.
Police say the duo allegedly purchased large amounts of drugs from wholesalers and sold them in small amounts like one or two pills or half a gram of cocaine to customers across the country in exchange for bitcoin.
On Wednesday, the pair were each slapped with a raft of new drug supply charges, including multiple counts of supplying of large commercial quantities of drugs.
The dark web is a hidden collective of websites typically offering illicit goods or services on which users remain anonymous.
The length of time they had allegedly been selling drugs made the brothers a priority target for police, cybercrime commander Detective Superintendent Matt Craft told the Herald earlier this year.
“It started as we do with any investigation, looking at the individuals and who may be involved and working backwards from there,” he said.
Like most vendors on the dark web, who depend on positive reviews to generate new business, the brothers’ alleged operations were highly professional.
“Your reputation is everything,” Craft said.
The NSW Crime Commission has also begun proceedings to confiscate Busse’s assets.
“If you look at what we’ve been able to seize in terms of property, it’s been millions of dollars that we would allege would be obtained as a consequence of criminal behaviour,” Craft said.

It’s about that time when NFL members head off to summer training before the regular season starts. The legality of marijuana is constantly changing, and you may wonder how it affects NFL players who like smoking cannabis.
Can Tom Brady enjoy weed grown from low THC seeds and still be the best quarterback in the league? You might be surprised by what the rules say. Let’s run to the end line and answer all the questions about marijuana in the National Football League.
Is Cannabis Legal to Use in the NFL?
In March 2020, the NFL rules changed regarding marijuana. With an increase in legality, the league needed to update its policies. Currently, NFL athletes can consume cannabis, but there are restrictions.
Ten randomly selected players from each team are tested every week. These tests check for the use of performance enhancers and recreational drugs.
The new policy has increased the threshold from 35 to 150 nanograms per milliliter of THC to test positively for weed. Competitors can consume cannabis, just not in excess. The league doesn’t check for CBD.
What Are the Penalties if an NFL Player Tests Positive for Marijuana?
NFL weed smokers receive penalties when they test for more than 150 ng/ml of THC. A failed marijuana drug test results in a fine equivalent to one week’s salary.
Fortunately, athletes won’t face a suspension with the revised rule. Instead, if an NFL player fails multiple times, the fine increases. They also have to enter into an intervention program for substance abuse.
An NFL player who doesn’t show up for a drug test or fails to cooperate can also receive a financial penalty. After their fourth violation, they could face suspension.
What About the Off-Season?
The resting season rules differ from in-season. From April 20th until August 9th, NFL players can consume cannabis without fear of fines or legal trouble from the league. This regulation aligns with the famous 420 holiday, ideal for footballers who smoke weed and want to celebrate.
Athletes must follow the laws of the state they reside in. If it’s legal to grow marijuana, an NFL can plant Jack’s Girl seeds and other strains without worry.
During the off months, NFL players are randomly tested at least once, but the league doesn’t test for THC. It only looks for performance enhancers and illegal recreational drugs.
What Happens if the NFL Banned a Player Before the Updated Rules?
Before March 2020, several NFL players were banned from the league permanently for failing drug tests for weed. The updated rule doesn’t automatically reverse previous charges, but there is hope.
Banned athletes can petition Commissioner Roger Goodell for readmission to the league. The NFL indefinitely suspended Randy Gregory in February 2019 for marijuana use, and he came back to the Denver Broncos in the 2021 season.
What Are the Benefits of Marijuana for Football Players?
There’s been plenty of research about the potential benefits of cannabis for physical and mental conditions.
NFL players experience many injuries, especially to their joints and limbs. Weed might help with recovery and pain management. It could also assist with mental health issues resulting from stress, pressure, and demanding schedules.
To gain the most benefits, it’s better if NFL players stop smoking marijuana. The combustion and strain on the lungs can negatively affect athletes’ performance. They should opt to consume edibles or use creams and oils on painful areas.
The main advantage of using cannabis in the NFL is that it lessens the risk of opioid use, a major problem for the league. This drug has serious side effects and addictive qualities.
Which NFL Players Smoke Weed?
Many NFL players use marijuana openly and promote it to the public. Martellus Bennett stated that approximately 89% of competitors use marijuana in the NFL.
Although Ricky Williams scored 66 touchdowns in his career, the NFL permanently suspended him for marijuana use. Since then, he’s been an advocate for cannabis in the NFL. He argues that weed is significantly better than opioids, which is why he used it while playing.
Rob Gronkowski is one of the best tight ends in the league. During his career, he scored almost 100 touchdowns. Gronkowski also helped his teams reach the Superbowl four times within 11 seasons. You’ve probably heard the classic cliche, “He’s a beast!” from avid fans. He temporarily retired in 2018 because of mental health issues connected with football.
Gronkowski leaned towards cannabis use to help with his ailments and was able to recover in time for the 2020 season. Since then, he’s partnered with a company that sells CBD products and promotes it to players and anyone experiencing pain or mental health issues.
Randy Moss, an NFL Hall of Famer, has openly discussed marijuana use since he started playing in 1998. Moss advocated for changes to the cannabis policy before the updated rules in 2020.
Eben Britton, a Chicago Bears offensive tackle, admitted he played some of his games stoned. He also stated that they were some of the best of his career. Britton recalls how good he felt during and after the games.
Will Marijuana Ever Be Fully Legal for NFL Players?
There’s no way to know what will happen in the future. If the US makes marijuana a federally legal substance, the rules could change, but we can’t say for sure. Stay updated on the federal laws and watch for changes.
The Final Touchdown
Can NFL players smoke weed? Yes, but with restrictions. Athletes must have less than 150 ng/ml in their system during the season when tested for THC. The new rules are progressive and should make consuming cannabis products easier for competitors.
There are many benefits to using weed in the NFL. Many famous players openly support the use of cannabis and promote its benefits to the world.
Now that we’ve answered your questions, it’s time to buy some weed seeds online so you have a beautiful harvest ready for the Superbowl.

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Joe Bonamassa and his nonprofit, Keeping The Blues Alive Foundation will feature its third annual Stream-A-Thon event on Saturday, May 1st at 3:00 pm ET to benefit their Fueling Musicians Program which supports musicians in need. This spectacular display of musicianship will be hosted by Joe Bonamassa himself and will feature more than 2 hours of music performances from over 25 musicians including some of Joe's legendary friends and talented rising stars.
Joe recognized that supporting artists was crucial to maintain their livelihoods during the pandemic crisis, as well as helping them get back on the road when live music events were permitted. Now he wants to continue to pay it forward as so many did for him, and extend the Fueling Musicians Program to get immediate assistance to musicians in need. Eligible artists include those who have suffered hardships due to the long lasting effects of the pandemic on their careers. In 2022, the Fueling Musicians Program was honored as one of the recipients of the prestigious "Keeping the Blues Alive Award" by The Blues Foundation.
To date, the Fueling Musicians program has raised over $500,000 for qualifying touring musicians who are suffering financial hardship and whose careers have been put on hold as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic's ripple effect on the music industry. The program provides immediate cash payments for essential living expenses of $1,500. Joe hopes this Stream-A-Thon event will increase donations and achieve his goal of raising an additional $100,000. The more money raised, the more musicians we can help.

America’s Got Talent: Sara James closes with ‘Rocket Man’
It makes sense in so many ways that Sara James was the closing act on America’s Got Talent tonight. She was Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer! This is the show’s most-popular judge, so obviously there will be a desire to push the most popular act.
It is true that most of the time, acts who finish off the night have the best chance of moving on. That does benefit Sara greatly; however, she does still need to come out and perform.
So what did she choose to sing tonight? A cover of Elton John’s “Rocket Man.” If this arrangement has been done before, we hadn’t heard it. It’s such a fantastic song and she managed to make it current. Also, the audience treated her like a proper rock star. There is a perfect mix of power and melancholy in her voice, and this is a style that is extremely popular tonight.
For most of the performance, we were waiting for Sara to go to that next level. She did that with some HUGE notes near the end of the performance. That’s where the arrangement changed even more from the original. Maybe there will be some out there who feel like this is too much of a deviation from what Elton John did so many years ago, but that’s what we love about it. There is so much futuristic imagery to the song and she really carried that through.
After this performance, it’s clear that Simon was giddy for her. He saw the potential in her from the moment she stepped on stage in the audition, and she just had to figure out a way to take things to the next level. While nothing is guaranteed when it comes to the future, she has a GREAT chance of advancing.

Ryan Mountcastle's three-run home run in the first inning helped carry the Baltimore Orioles past the visiting Chicago White Sox 5-3 in the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday.
The Orioles, who have won three of their past four games, prevailed despite getting out-hit 11-5.
Eloy Jimenez hit a two-run, first-inning homer for the White Sox. Chicago's Luis Robert went 3-for-5.
Baltimore starter Austin Voth (4-1) went 5 2/3 innings and surrendered two runs on seven hits. He walked three and struck out three while notching his fourth straight winning decision. Five Orioles relievers followed him to the mound, with Felix Bautista getting the last five outs for his ninth save.
White Sox starter Dylan Cease (12-6) yielded four runs on three hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings. He fanned four to take his second loss in three outings after winning five starts in a row.
The first inning saw both sides belt multi-run homers.
Jimenez launched a two-run shot in the top of the inning, his seventh home run of the season and his first in 17 games.
Mountcastle bashed a three-run homer with one out in the bottom of the inning, his 18th long ball of the year. He has three homers in his past eight games.
The Orioles tacked on another run in the sixth. Cedric Mullins reached on a walk, moved to second on an errant pickoff throw and came home on Anthony Santander's one-out single that ended Cease's outing.
The gape was cut to one run again when pinch hitter Andrew Vaughn's two-out single in the seventh drove in Robert, who led off with a double.
Jorge Mateo's two-out RBI single in the seventh pushed the edge to 5-3. The hit knocked in Austin Hays, who had doubled with one out.
AJ Pollock, Gavin Sheets and Seby Zavala added two hits apiece for the White Sox, who have lost five of their past six games. Chicago was in its third city in three days. The scheduled series finale at Cleveland was postponed on Sunday before the White Sox lost on Monday in a one-game stopover at Kansas City.

NEW YORK (AP) — Candace Parker had 14 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists to lead the Chicago Sky over the New York Liberty 90-72 Tuesday night in the deciding Game 3 to advance to the semifinals of the WNBA playoffs.
The defending champion Sky await the winner of the Connecticut-Dallas series that will have its deciding Game 3 on Wednesday.
Allie Quigley and Kahleah Copper each added 15 points while Courtney Vandersloot had 14 points and 10 assists for the second-seeded Sky. Chicago has now won four consecutive elimination games dating to back-to-back single-elimination games last year en route to the franchise's first WNBA championship.
The seventh-seed Liberty shocked the Sky by taking Game 1. Chicago routed New York by a WNBA playoffs record 38 points in the second game, racing out to a 31-10 lead by the end of the first quarter and never looking back.
This one was a lot more competitive. Chicago led 25-20 after one and extended the advantage to 54-42 at the half as Parker had seven points, six assists and seven rebounds in the opening 20 minutes.
New York scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter, including a five-point possession by Sabrina Ionescu to get within 68-65 that brought the sold out lower bowl of Barclays Center to its feet.
This was New York’s first home playoff game since 2017 when the Liberty lost in the second round to Washington. New York hadn’t made the semifinals since 2015.
That euphoria didn't last long though as Chicago scored the next 16 points, including consecutive 3-pointers by Quigley to end the run and put the game away with just over 4 minutes left.
Betnijah Laney scored 15 points and Ionescu and Natasha Howard each had 14 for the Liberty.
STAT STUFFERS
Parker fell just short of the fourth triple-double in WNBA playoff history. She was looking to join teammate Courtney Vandersloot, Lisa Leslie and Margo Dydek.
BEING RECOGNIZED
Chicago Sky coach and general manager James Wade was chosen as the WNBA Executive of the Year on Monday. The voting panel is made up of one basketball executive from each WNBA team, with each representative submitting top three choices. Wade won by being named on the most ballots (11).

WASHINGTON — The online reviews site Yelp said Tuesday it is rolling out a new feature to protect users seeking abortions from being misled about anti-abortion pregnancy centers listed on its platform.
Such centers are typically religiously affiliated and deter clients from having an abortion. On Tuesday, Yelp said it will place a consumer notice on the listings informing users that the centers “typically provide limited medical services and may not have licensed medical professionals onsite.”
In 2018, moderators for the San Francisco-based company began recategorizing listings for such organizations as “crisis pregnancy centers” or “faith-based crisis pregnancy centers.” The organizations had previously categorized themselves as reproductive health services, medical centers and other health and medical categories.
“It’s well-reported that crisis pregnancy centers do not offer abortion services, and it’s been shown that many provide misleading information in an attempt to steer people seeking abortion care to other options,” the company said in a post on its website detailing the change.
Yelp’s move might put more pressure on Google to do something similar with listings on its site. Last week, hundreds of Google employees released a petition calling on the company to fix misleading search results for abortion services by removing “fake abortion providers” and halt its business with “publishers of disinformation related to abortion services.”
In June, Democratic lawmakers in Congress also urged the company to curb the appearance of the anti-abortion pregnancy centers for certain search results. But Republicans pushed back last month, warning the tech giant not to do so in a letter sent by 17 conservative attorney generals to Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
Google did not immediately reply to a request for comment on Tuesday.
In the past several months, Yelp said it has also been picking up on efforts to better match users searching for abortion clinics with those services and make it less likely those users will see anti-abortion pregnancy centers in search results. The company said it has evaluated roughly 33,500 listings this year and recategorized nearly 470 pages for the centers. | https://www.cbs19.tv/article/news/nation-world/yelp-to-flag-to-anti-abortion-pregnancy-centers/507-92185414-665e-4cc4-b37b-7cd8f0327b04 | 2022-08-24T03:48:59Z | https://www.cbs19.tv/article/news/nation-world/yelp-to-flag-to-anti-abortion-pregnancy-centers/507-92185414-665e-4cc4-b37b-7cd8f0327b04 | true | 37 |

Carlos Rodón stays hot as Evan Longoria helps Giants beat Tigers, 3-1
DETROIT — Carlos Rodón continued his hot streak with seven strong innings on Tuesday night as the San Francisco Giants survived a bases-loaded threat in the bottom of the ninth inning and beat the Detroit Tigers 3-1.
Evan Longoria homered for the Giants, who won their eighth straight interleague game on the road.
Rodón allowed one run on five hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter. He is 4-0 in his last five starts with a 1.44 ERA and has now recorded eight double-digit strikeout games this season.
“The fastball/slider combination was really good and (catcher Austin Wynns) had a good feel for the pitch calling — we were on the same page all night,” Rodón said. “The bullpen did a good job and we scored when we needed it. Now we just have to win another one tomorrow.”
Rodón is 3-0 with a 1.86 ERA in five starts against the Tigers in the last two seasons.
“I’ve seen them and they’ve seen me, so they have a plan against me and I know what I want to do against them,” Rodón said. “I think it evens out. I’ve gotten them the last few times, but they’ve gotten me in the past.”
The Tigers put runners on the corners with one out in the ninth on Victor Reyes’ double and Javier Báez’s infield single. Camilo Doval, who slipped trying to field Báez’s grounder, then walked Eric Haase on four pitches to load the bases for Miguel Cabrera.
Cabrera took a called third strike on the outside corner on the ninth pitch of the at-bat and Harold Castro grounded out to give Doval his 18th save.
Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. Doval “had a little bit more time and he rushed it a little” when trying to field Báez’s grounder.
“But his stuff is good that he can beat some of the best hitters in the game,” Kapler said. “Miggy gave him a sensational battle, and he was still able to execute that slider when he needed it.”
Drew Hutchison (1-7) took the loss, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in five innings.
“I thought I threw the ball well,” Hutchison said. “I was a little shaky early, but I got myself into better counts as the game went along.”
The Giants took a 1-0 lead on Joc Pederson’s first-inning RBI single, but couldn’t score again against Hutchison.
They had better luck against Daniel Norris, though. He retired the first two batters in the sixth, but Pederson walked and Longoria followed with a long home run to left.
“Those walks will come back to bite you at the worst time, and that was pretty much the worst possible sequence for Daniel after he got the first two outs,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “He was trying to go down and away, yanked it over the plate and Evan Longoria doesn’t miss many of those.”
Detroit didn’t get a runner past first base until the sixth inning. With two outs, Riley Greene was credited with a single when Rodón dropped a throw from first baseman Wilmer Flores, and he took second on a wild pitch. Rodón struck out Reyes on the next pitch.
“The guys played great defense behind me — I was the one who messed up,” Rodón said. “Luckily, it didn’t come back to bite us.”
Báez led off the seventh with a bloop single and stole second before scoring on Haase’s base hit. Rodón got Cabrera to hit into a double play before striking out Harold Castro.
“We had a lot of swing-and-misses tonight,” Hinch said. “You’ve got to put the ball into play to win games, and he was in command for most of the night.”
Longoria’s long balls
Longoria has 16 homers in 65 games against the Tigers, and his .307 batting average against them is second only to his .361 against the Mets.
“ (Longoria) is swinging the bat really well right now, and we owe it to him to make sure we keep him in a position to do that,” Kapler said. “We have to listen to the signals he’s getting from his body and make sure he’s getting enough rest.”
Trainer’s room
The Tigers placed 2B Jonathan Schoop (ankle) on the injured list, retroactive to Aug. 21, and recalled INF Zack Short from Triple-A Toledo.
Interleague legend
Rodón has won his last eight interleague starts, never allowing more than one run. He has tied Mark Mulder for the second-longest streak in major league history, one behind Freddy Garcia’s 2001-03 streak with Seattle.
Up next
The teams finish their two-game series on Wednesday afternoon, with Detroit’s Matt Manning (0-1, 2.81) facing Logan Webb (11-6, 3.08). | https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/sports/carlos-rodon-stays-hot-as-evan-longoria-helps-giants-beat-tigers-3-1/ | 2022-08-24T04:05:53Z | https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/sports/carlos-rodon-stays-hot-as-evan-longoria-helps-giants-beat-tigers-3-1/ | false | 16 |
