(NewsNation) — Ukrainians marked their country’s 31st Independence Day Wednesday, exactly six months to the day after Russian forces began their invasion. While most expected the country to fall quickly to Moscow, Ukrainian forces have held their ground against their invaders.
“Six months ago, Russia declared war on us. On Feb. 24, all of Ukraine heard explosions and gunshots. … On Feb. 24, we were told: You have no chance. On Aug. 24, we say: Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!” Zelenskyy said in an Independence Day message.
Wednesday’s holiday commemorates Ukraine’s 1991 declaration of independence from the Soviet Union.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the public to be vigilant as he warned the holiday may bring heavier shelling and attacks on the country. Authorities in the capital banned large-scale gatherings until Thursday to ensure the safety of Ukraine’s citizens.
“Russian provocations and brutal strikes are a possibility,” Zelenskyy said in a statement. “Please strictly follow the safety rules. Please observe the curfew. Pay attention to the air sirens. Pay attention to official announcements. And remember: We must all achieve victory together.”
In the wake of the war’s six months, President Joe Biden announced an additional $2.98 billion of weapons and equipment for Ukraine. The money will fund contracts for drones, weapons and other equipment that may not see the battlefront for a year or two, U.S. officials said.
“On behalf of all Americans, I congratulate the people of Ukraine on their Independence Day. Over the past six months, Ukrainians have inspired the world with their extraordinary courage and dedication to freedom,” Biden said in a statement Wednesday announcing the new financial package.
In the statement, Biden pledged his continued support to Ukraine: “Today and every day, we stand with the Ukrainian people to proclaim that the darkness that drives autocracy is no match for the flame of liberty that lights the souls of free people everywhere. The United States, including proud Ukrainian-Americans, looks forward to continuing to celebrate Ukraine as a democratic, independent, sovereign and prosperous state for decades to come.”
To date, the U.S. has sent about $10.6 billion in military aid to Ukraine, including 19 packages of weapons taken directly from the Defense Department stocks since August of 2021.
As the war reached its 182nd day, there has been no signs of a quick end to the conflict.
Also, there has been an international concern and a growing call to end the fighting near Europe’s largest nuclear plant. Both countries have accused each other of firing missiles close to that plant. The U.N. Security Council will meet again Wednesday to discuss the nuclear disaster threats this can present. U.N. officials are calling on Moscow to create a demilitarized zone around the plant.
Since the beginning of the war, both sides have seen thousands of troops killed and injured, including tremendous numbers of civilians. Ukraine reports more than 15,000 Ukrainians have died since February, with the most killed in March. But experts believe that number is actually much higher.
The U.N. reported roughly 6.7 million refugees have fled Ukraine and are scattered all across Europe.
Experts say the first two phases of the war are believed to be over. Ukraine’s defense minister said he expects the worst of the bloodshed to be over as well. But as warfare slows and Ukraine tries to maintain its southern region, experts worry it could become tougher to do with lesser resources and waning public support.

SAITAMA: Free-scoring Urawa Red Diamonds will go on the attack in their Asian Champions League semi-final against an ailing Jeonbuk Motors, midfielder Takahiro Sekine warned on Wednesday.
Japan’s Urawa have scored 15 goals in their last three games in all competitions, the latest a 4-0 thrashing of Thailand’s BG Pathum United in the Champions League quarter-finals on Monday.
Urawa will enjoy home advantage for Thursday’s one-legged tie against the K League’s Jeonbuk in Saitama and Sekine hopes they will put on another scintillating showing for their passionate fans.
“We want to attack them before they get the chance to attack us,“ the 27-year-old told reporters.
“I’m really looking forward to it and we don’t have any intention of losing, so we will give it everything we’ve got.”
Urawa are chasing their third AFC Champions League crown, having won Asia’s premier club competition in 2007 and 2017.
In contrast to Urawa’s bullish message, Jeonbuk go into the last-four clash with their reserves of energy running low.
They needed extra-time in the last 16 last week and once again played 120 minutes before coming back to defeat Vissel Kobe 3-1 on Monday, all in Saitama.
“It’s been a difficult situation and I appreciate the players,“ said the South Korean side’s manager Kim Sang-sik.
“Because we played two games with extra-time the players are really tired and there will be problems with physical strength.
“But we have one spirit and one mind to go into this game and get the win.” - AFP | https://www.thesundaily.my/sport/urawa-vow-to-attack-really-tired-jeonbuk-in-afc-semi-final-BM9680773 | 2022-08-24T12:46:57Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/sport/urawa-vow-to-attack-really-tired-jeonbuk-in-afc-semi-final-BM9680773 | true | 1 |
Tech
New research shows that TikTok can track taps whenever users visit other sites through its iOS app.tick tock
According to new research by software engineer Felix Krause, TikTok has the ability to track every tap on the screen, like entering a password or clicking a link, while browsing in its iOS app.
In-app browsing refers to activity on third-party sites that open within the app rather than in an external window.
On Thursday, Krause released a report examining the JavaScript code that social media platforms inject into third-party sites, allowing them to track user activity.
Krauses security tool InAppBrowser.com has revealed that the TikTok iOS app has the ability to monitor all keystrokes, text inputs and screen taps. This may include sensitive personal data such as credit card information and passwords.
However, Klaus said just because an app injects JavaScript into an external website doesn’t mean the app is doing something malicious.
There is no way to know the full details of what data each in-app browser collects or how it is transferred or used.
When you open a website from within the TikTok iOS app, we insert code that can monitor all keyboard input (which may include credit card details, passwords, or other sensitive information).
TikTok also has code that monitors all taps, including button and link clicks. pic.twitter.com/Dcv0N4ccKD
— Felix Krause (@KrauseFx) August 18, 2022
Priyadarsi Nanda, from the Department of Electrical and Data Engineering, University of Technology, Sydney, said collecting information about keystrokes is very similar to how keyloggers, a type of malware, work.
No matter what website you visit, it requires input, he said. This is definitely a concern for untrusted apps.
A TikTok spokesperson told Guardian Australia that the report’s conclusions about TikTok were incorrect and misleading.
The researchers specifically said that the JavaScript code does not mean our app is doing anything malicious, acknowledging that we have no way of knowing what kind of data the in-app browser collects. Yes, said a spokesperson.
Contrary to what the report claims, we do not collect any keystrokes or text input via this code. It is used only for debugging, troubleshooting, and performance monitoring.
Besides TikTok, Krause evaluated iOS apps from Instagram, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Amazon, Snapchat, and Robinhood. TikTok was the only app found to not offer users the option to switch from in-app browsing to an external browser when visiting third-party sites.
According to Uri Gal, a professor of business information systems at the University of Sydney, TikTok had the most extensive monitoring capabilities.
Many people using apps are unaware of the surveillance that takes place within them. [it]TikTok’s user base is much younger than Facebook and Instagram, making it more vulnerable.
Gal said TikTok poses a different kind of risk because its parent company, ByteDances, is suspected of having ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Surveillance functions can be used to collect as much information as possible for the purposes of industrial espionage, allowing them to shape public opinion more in their favor.
A report released in July by Internet 2.0, an Australian-US cybersecurity firm, said the app could be used by the Chinese government to collect personal information, from in-app messages to device location. I am warning you.

ByteDance has denied ties to the Chinese government in the past, after various leaks suggesting it censors material that is inconsistent with China’s foreign policy objectives or refers to the country’s human rights record. , called this claim misinformation.
According to Krauses’ research, Instagram also has the ability to track screen taps, such as when a user clicks on an image.
Using in-app browsers, such as how Instagram and TikTok display all external websites within the app, poses data privacy and integrity issues, Krause wrote in the report.
According to Gal, Instagram and Facebook practices are almost as widespread as TikTok.
Their primary motivations are almost purely commercial and financial, but TikTok has an element of national security that doesn’t seem directly present to others.
A spokesperson for Instagram’s parent company Meta said in-app web browsers are common across the industry.
Meta uses an in-app browser for a safe, convenient, and reliable experience. For example, to ensure autofill fills in properly or to prevent people from being redirected to malicious sites.
Adding these kinds of functionality requires additional code. These experiences are carefully designed to respect your privacy choices, including how your data is used for advertising.
In a TikTok statement included in Krauses’ report, spokesperson Maureen Shanahan said:
Nanda said the social media platform does not disclose how much personal data remains with the company or whether it is shared with third parties.
They can pass that information on to third-party service providers, which can help launch sophisticated attacks of any nature, Nanda said, including hacks to steal data such as credit card information and freeze computers. It pointed out malware attacks that could steal or lock files. That’s the real risk.

Solar power is booming in Germany as Russia turns down the gas
By Michelle Toh, CNN Business
People on the frontlines of Europe’s gas crisis are scrambling to get solar panels for their homes and businesses as they confront a “perfect storm” that’s sending energy prices to record levels.
In the first six months of this year, Germany saw a 22% jump in the installation of solar systems, compared with the same period last year, according to data shared with CNN Business by the German Solar Association. This included residential and commercial uses, from small installations on private rooftops to large solar farms, the group said.
For companies in the renewable energy industry, that has created a major rush in sales — and an additional strain on supply chains.
Demand for solar power was already on the rise in Europe’s biggest economy, as energy prices surged, policy incentives were introduced and adoption of the technology became more mainstream. But more recently, consumers have also faced ever higher utility bills, scorching temperatures, and renewed anxiety over whether they’ll be able to keep the heat on this winter.
Since it invaded Ukraine six months ago, Russia has sharply reduced its supply of gas to Germany and other EU countries. Just last week it announced an unscheduled closure of its Nord Stream 1 pipeline later this month for maintenance, sending spot natural gas prices to a new record high.
For many households, the biggest fear is that Russia will turn off the tap completely this winter. The German government has already set in motion a crisis management plan that could see rationing to businesses if that happens.
“This [demand] has only gotten stronger with the war against Ukraine, which is happening on our doorstep,” David Wedepohl, managing director of the German Solar Association told CNN Business.
“This is something that’s very much on people’s minds.”
German officials have responded to the crisis by calling on consumers to save energy. Some municipalities have already reacted by pulling back on basic needs such as lights, showers and heating.
Jim Gordon, the CEO of Smartflower, said the geopolitical turmoil had also pushed more people to make the switch to solar. The company provides sunflower-shaped solar power devices to corporate campuses, universities and homes.
“Our business is booming because there’s a perfect storm of elements converging that are really lifting solar energy,” Gordon told CNN Business.
“People are concerned about energy security,” he said. “An autocratic dictator can turn the valve on a gas pipeline and shut off energy, but nobody can control the sun.”
Soaring sales
Schneider Electric, a European industrial and energy giant, says demand for its solar-powered heating systems in Germany have “almost doubled” so far this year compared to the same period in 2021.
The company’s sustainability arm, which advises businesses on clean energy procurement, has also reached “an all-time peak” in consultancy requests, according to Konstantin Elstermann, the firm’s vice president of home and distribution.
Similarly, Sonnen, a German solar battery provider, has seen its orders “more than double in comparison to last year,” because of an “increased desire for [people] running their homes with renewable energy,” said CEO Oliver Koch.
In a statement to CNN Business, Koch said his team had noted “an additional uptick in demand since the end of February,” when the war began, and was “continuously expanding our production capacity to keep pace with demand.”
Demand is so high, Smartflower is now expecting to quadruple its sales in Germany this year, according to managing director Robert Sawyer.
“We’ve done more business in the first six months of 2022 in Germany than we did in all of 2021,” Sawyer said, adding that sales in the country had doubled so far this year.
Supply chain hurdles
Such booms don’t come without challenges, however.
The industry is currently facing severe labor shortages, said Elstermann from Schneider Electric.
“Some electricians are booked up three to six months in advance,” he told CNN Business.
“This bottleneck almost surpasses the current shortage of raw materials and production capacity. We know that the supply problems due to the pandemic are temporary, but the shortage of skilled workers remains,” Elstermann said.
Wedepohl said the industry was racing to address the problem. Many electricians who left their jobs over the past decade have been “reentering” the market, while roofers are also being called on to help with installations, he added.
“A lot of installers are out there putting out extra shifts, training people, bringing new people on,” he said. “It is a challenge, but it is definitely a moment that we hope we can rise to.”
The sustainability question
For now, Germany has resorted to firing up its coal power plants to reduce its gas consumption — and ensure the country keeps the lights on.
But Chancellor Olaf Scholz has made it clear the government isn’t happy about it.
“It is bitter that we now have to temporarily use some power plants that we had already shut down because of Russia’s brutal attack on Ukraine. But it’s only for a little while,” he said in a message last month.
Similar conversations are taking place across Europe.
This year, the United Kingdom also announced a push for other power sources, including wind and nuclear energy. And for some consumers, alternatives to gas heating, such as wood-burning fireplaces, have become more popular.
This month, Austrian climate minister Leonore Gewessler called for more green energy projects to help the country wean itself off Russian gas.
“We need to get ourselves off this dependence — cubic meter per cubic meter, windmill per windmill, PV installation per PV installation,” she told CNN’s Sara Sidner, referring to the units used in building solar and wind energy capacity.
“Because we see that our dependency on fossil fuels is used as a weapon in a war,” Gewessler said.
“Winter is coming,” said Wedepohl, noting that most homes in Germany were heated with gas. “Europeans … are also in this pretty collectively.”

More than 500,000 people expected to attend Atlantic City Airshow
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (CBS) -- The sky's the limit for thrills in this year's Atlantic City Air Show. More than half a million people are expected to pack the beach and boardwalk on Wednesday as military and civilian aircrafts take flight.
Although the boardwalk is quiet as of now, that will not be the case in a matter of hours. The airshow draws people from all over, and the best part for some, it's become a family tradition and a show you are not going to want to miss.
The theme of the airshow is "A salute to those who serve." It's been a busy few weeks down the shore as people watched demonstrations and took in the loud jet noises.
On Wednesday, it's showtime. You can expect to see four hours of aerial acrobatics, featuring the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and another favorite, the U.S. Army Golden Knights, or as some would call them, the guys with the parachutes.
While families enjoyed the test runs, some of the pilots say they are just as excited to show off their skills.
"Every time you see and hear the noise of the air show, it puts a little pit in your stomach and shakes your body around a little bit and makes you proud to be an American," Col. Derek Routt, of the 177th Fighter Wing, said.
The show officially takes flight at 11:30 a.m., but you want to get to the air show early and stake out a space on the beach or the boardwalk.
If you're coming to the airshow, here's a checklist of items you may want to bring:
- Snacks and water
- Sunglasses, so you can see all the action
- Cameras and binoculars
- Beach accessories, chairs, umbrellas, hats and bathing suits
During the airshow, there will be additional rail service on New Jersey Transit. A train will leave Philadelphia just before 8:30 a.m. getting to Atlantic City around 10 a.m.
Tickets will also be half-off through the NJ Transit app.
You just have to use the promo code "airshow." It's good for two, one-way tickets and can only be used on the day of the airshow.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 — National men’s singles ace Lee Zii Jia cruised into the third round of the World Badminton Championships after disposing of Portugal’s Bernardo Atilano at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium in Japan today.
World number five Zii Jia needed just 36 minutes to oust Bernardo 21-9, 21-13 in the round of 32 to set up a third-round clash against Zhao Jun Peng, after the world number 23 China shuttler defeated India’s Srikanth Kidambi 21-9, 21-17 earlier.
Malaysia’s campaign in women’s singles came to an end after Soniia Cheah went down 17-21, 15-21 to 2020 Tokyo Olympic champion Chen Yu Fei.
In men’s doubles, national top pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik were made to work hard by Taiwan’s Lu Ching Yao-Yang Po Han before prevailing 22-20, 21-18 in 42 minutes.
The sixth-seeded Malaysians will take on compatriots Goh Sze Fei- Nur Izzuddin Rumsani for a place in the quarter-finals tomorrow.
Aaron said they would strive to be consistent every time they take to the court.
“We are looking for improvement in our game play because our consistency is not that good. So, we want to improve... Thank you to all our Malaysian fans for supporting us as we will try our best in every game,” Aaron was quoted as saying by the Badminton World Federation (BWF).
Earlier, Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin, who are the 11th seeds, showed Irish pair Joshua Magee-Paul Reynolds the exit with a 21-13, 21-12 win in 32 minutes.
It was, however, the end of the road for Ong Ewe Sin-Teo Ee Yi, who were the men’s doubles bronze medallists at the previous edition of the world meet, when they were sent packing 20-22, 20-22 by Singapore’s Hee Yong Kai Terry-Loh Kean Hean.
There was also good news in women’s doubles when Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah also marched into the third round after beating India’s Treesa Jolly-Gayatri Gopichand Pullela 21-8, 21-17.
World number 11 Pearly-Thinaah will now face world number five Chiharu Shida-Nami Matsuyama after the Japanese pair downed Canada’s Catherine Choi-Josephine Wu 21-17, 21-9 earlier.
“Actually, they (Treesa-Gayatri) are a good pair, they’re also younger than us by a few years... they have really improved. But that also made us prepare well for today’s match. We didn’t let our guards down and we did our best,” said Thinaah.
National professional mixed doubles pair Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Jemie Lai also advanced to the next round after ousting England’s Gregory Mairs-Jenny Moore, 21-13, 21-18 in 33 minutes.
The world number 11 Malaysians will next take on world No. 9 Thom Gicquel-Delphine Delrue after the French pair beat Taiwan’s Hu Ling Fang-Yang Po-Hsuan 10-21, 25-23, 21-16 today. — Bernama | https://www.malaymail.com/news/sports/2022/08/24/world-championships-zii-jia-and-co-through-to-third-round/24557 | 2022-08-24T13:02:00Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/sports/2022/08/24/world-championships-zii-jia-and-co-through-to-third-round/24557 | false | 2 |
Crawley supporters have been told there was “no justification” for the pitch invasion which followed Tuesday evening’s Carabao Cup win over Premier League Fulham.
Hundreds of home fans spilled onto the field at Broadfield Stadium to celebrate the shock 2-0 victory over the Cottagers.
The English Football League (EFL) has condemned the actions of the perpetrators, in addition to those who “encourage and glorify” such behaviour on social media, and plans to work with the Sky Bet League Two club to identify those involved.
The Football Association has confirmed it will investigate the events.
Football authorities announced tougher penalties for pitch invasions, such as club bans and criminal records, following a string of unsightly incidents at the end of last season, including a Nottingham Forest fan headbutting Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp.
“The EFL condemns the actions taken by a number of individuals leading up to, during and following the unacceptable mass pitch incursion at the end of Crawley Town’s Carabao Cup tie against Fulham,” read an EFL statement.
“EFL clubs, their employees, the Football Supporters’ Association, and the game’s wider stakeholders, have made a collective commitment to ensure that the safety of all those involved in the game is not compromised by anti-social and criminal behaviour.
“Everyone associated with staging and attending football matches has a responsibility to meet that commitment and should also be fully aware that it is against the law to enter the pitch at any time without permission and doing so could result in a club ban and criminal record for the perpetrators.
“It is vital that those playing the game can do so safe in the knowledge that they will not be subjected to violent, threatening, or anti-social behaviour going forward.
“Whilst acknowledging the occasion of Crawley’s victory against a Premier League opponent, there can be no justification to enter the pitch without authority.”
Home supporters chanted ‘If Crawley win, we’re on the pitch’ during the second-round tie, prompting the club to put out messages on the public address system warning them not to do so.
In a social media exchange on Tuesday morning, the club retweeted footage of the invasion in response to light-hearted criticism from a betting publisher.
“It is also ill advised to encourage and glorify such actions through social media, other digital platforms, and the broader media,” continued the EFL statement.
“This type of inappropriate behaviour is not welcomed and wherever appropriate, the authorities will take the necessary action to ensure this does not happen in the future.
“Simply put, the pitch is for participants and the stands for spectators.
“The EFL has been in contact with the club to discuss the various circumstances surrounding the incursion, including identifying the individuals involved, while the FA have confirmed they will be investigating last night’s events.” | https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/08/24/no-justification-for-crawley-pitch-invasion-after-fulham-cup-upset-says-efl/ | 2022-08-24T13:02:36Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/08/24/no-justification-for-crawley-pitch-invasion-after-fulham-cup-upset-says-efl/ | true | 8 |
Is Parnassus Endeavor Fund (PARWX) a Strong Mutual Fund Pick Right Now?
Mutual Fund Equity Report fund seekers should consider taking a look at Parnassus Endeavor Fund (PARWX). PARWX carries a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on nine forecasting factors like size, cost, and past performance.
History of Fund/Manager
PARWX is a part of the Parnassus family of funds, a company based out of San Francisco, CA. Since Parnassus Endeavor Fund made its debut in April of 2005, PARWX has garnered more than $3.04 billion in assets. Billy Hwan is the fund's current manager and has held that role since May of 2018.
Performance
Investors naturally seek funds with strong performance. PARWX has a 5-year annualized total return of 12.51% and it sits in the top third among its category peers. But if you are looking for a shorter time frame, it is also worth looking at its 3-year annualized total return of 16.45%, which places it in the top third during this time-frame.
When looking at a fund's performance, it is also important to note the standard deviation of the returns. The lower the standard deviation, the less volatility the fund experiences. Over the past three years, PARWX's standard deviation comes in at 22.17%, compared to the category average of 17.53%. The standard deviation of the fund over the past 5 years is 21.51% compared to the category average of 15.7%. This makes the fund more volatile than its peers over the past half-decade.
Risk Factors
Investors should note that the fund has a 5-year beta of 1.13, which means it is hypothetically more volatile than the market at large. Because alpha represents a portfolio's performance on a risk-adjusted basis relative to a benchmark, which is the S&P 500 in this case, one should pay attention to this metric as well. The fund has produced a negative alpha over the past 5 years of -1, which shows that managers in this portfolio find it difficult to pick securities that generate better-than-benchmark returns.
Holdings
Exploring the equity holdings of a mutual fund is also a valuable exercise. This can show us how the manager is applying their stated methodology, as well as if there are any inherent biases in their approach. For this particular fund, the focus is largely on equities that are traded in the United States.
The mutual fund currently has 95.46% of its holdings in stocks, with an average market capitalization of $199.47 billion. The fund has the heaviest exposure to the following market sectors:
- Technology
- Finance
- Health
Expenses
As competition heats up in the mutual fund market, costs become increasingly important. Compared to its otherwise identical counterpart, a low-cost product will be an outperformer, all other things being equal. Thus, taking a closer look at cost-related metrics is vital for investors. In terms of fees, PARWX is a no load fund. It has an expense ratio of 0.90% compared to the category average of 0.99%. From a cost perspective, PARWX is actually cheaper than its peers.
Investors need to be aware that with this product, the minimum initial investment is $2,000; each subsequent investment needs to be at least $50.
Bottom Line
Overall, Parnassus Endeavor Fund ( PARWX ) has a high Zacks Mutual Fund rank, and in conjunction with its comparatively strong performance, worse downside risk, and lower fees, this fund looks like a good potential choice for investors right now.
This could just be the start of your research on PARWXin the Mutual Fund Equity Report category.

Kourtney Kardashian, Kevin Hart among celebrities accused of violating drought rules
CALABASAS, Calif. (KABC) - In California, authorities are cracking down on A-list celebrities in the Los Angeles area who have not been doing their part to conserve water.
It comes as the state continues to experience severe drought conditions.
Celebrities living in multimillion-dollar mansions in Calabasas, California, including Kourtney Kardashian, Kevin Hart and Sylvester Stallone, have all been accused of using too much water.
Officials said anyone who exceeds 150% of their water budget for at least two months pays a penalty, but the penalties reportedly do not work for those who have lots of cash to spare.
Now, officials are working to have flow restriction devices installed. They remove the functionality of irrigation systems leading to frustratingly slow-dripping showers, ultimately forcing people to conserve water.
They said there is no other way to get past users who have the means to pay those enormous water bills and the fines.
The water district says about 70% of all residential water is used outdoors. They are advising people to remove their lawns and install drought-tolerant landscaping.

For its tasty honey-based formula that is the top recommended cough syrup by pediatricians for children under 10, the best Zarbee’s supplement is Zarbee’s Children’s Cough Syrup.
What to know before you buy a Zarbee’s supplement
Zarbee’s supplements are drug-free
Cough, throat and sinus symptoms can be aggravating. Many over-the-counter products contain alcohol and different pharmaceutical-grade drugs. Zarbee’s supplements pride themselves on being natural, using things like honey, elderberry and zinc to help treat the symptoms of common illnesses.
Zarbee’s is baby-friendly
There is a wide range of supplements made for babies. The natural ingredients and Zarbee’s commitment to not use drugs, alcohol and artificial fillers make them a favorite of parents. Zarbee’s offers cold remedies, probiotics, immune health, soothing balms and vitamins for the littlest members of your family.
Zarbee’s supports protections for bees
Zarbee’s partners with the Bee Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting bees and strengthening their environment. One-third of the world’s food relies on bee pollination. Buying Zarbee’s products helps promote bee conservancy.
What to look for in a Zarbee’s supplement
Dark honey
Zarbee’s cough and throat supplements are based with dark honey. The color of honey comes from the flower source, but dark honey is known to have higher levels of minerals and antioxidants than lighter colored honey. Honey’s stickiness is a natural soother for irritated throats. The company began with its honey-based products and continues to build the supplement line.
Allergen-free
All Zarbee’s supplements are manufactured without common allergens for dairy, eggs, wheat, fish, peanuts, soybeans, shellfish and tree nuts.
Melatonin
Zarbee’s sleep supplements use 3 milligrams of melatonin that is not habit-forming and formulated to help occasional sleeplessness without drugs.
Chamomile
Chamomile is an herb extracted from the Asteraceae plant. It is has been recognized for its calming properties. Zarbee’s incorporates chamomile into its baby balms to help calm and soothe baby’s skin and dispositions.
Agave
For its infant products, Zarbee’s uses agave for cough relief instead of honey. Honey is risky to infants and should only be used in older children as directed. Agave coats the throat like honey but research shows that it is effective only as a placebo.
Ivy leaf and thyme
Ivy leaf extract is used in Zarbee’s products that also focus on mucus reduction. Ivy leaf is believed to thin mucus similar to the drug guaifenesin in over-the-counter products.
Thyme is a herb that contains thymol, which is a natural anti-spasmodic to help with coughs. In combination with ivy leaf, this combination can be very helpful for coughs and congestion.
How much you can expect to spend on a Zarbee’s supplement
Zarbee’s supplements are priced between $6-$20 per container. The prices vary based on product category and container size. For instance, cough medicine costs $7-$8, and cough medicine with mucus treatment costs between $13-$14. Their popular elderberry immune support products cost $10-$12.
Zarbee’s supplement FAQ
Are Zarbee’s supplements drugs?
A. Zarbee’s products are considered dietary supplements by the Food and Drug Administration. That means they are not meant to prevent, diagnose, cure or treat any illness. They use natural ingredients known to have healing properties.
Is it acceptable to give children probiotics?
A. There is clinical research supporting probiotic use by children. They positively impact the immune system and may lead to improved digestive health in adulthood.

OYSTER BAY, N.Y., Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the world emerges from the global pandemic, retail is growing at levels not seen in the last two decades. Retail sales grew by 7% in 2020 and by over 14% in 2021, which is in stark contrast to the 3.7% annual growth between 2010 and 2019. The increased demand for retail has put a strain on supply chains and retail operations worldwide. As a result, retailers and stakeholders are turning to automation solutions such as mobile robotics for operational ease. According to global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, worldwide commercial robot revenue in retail stores will have a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of over 25% from 2022 to 2030 and exceed US$8.4 billion by 2030.
"There is the continued adoption of diverse technologies in the retail space. We can see incoming retail solutions within various points of the retail value chain, such as order fulfillment, in-store inventory check, coordination between store associates, or last-mile delivery. These solutions can directly or indirectly impact the wider supply chain management to retailers for the better," explains Adhish Luitel, Senior Analyst, Supply Chain Management and Logistics at ABI Research.
Technologies such as contactless checkout, in-store mobile robotics, wearables, and smart carts are getting a lot of traction, with major retailers adopting these incoming solutions to enhance operations and contribute to a more streamlined supply chain management. Companies like Zebra Technologies, Simbe Robotics, and Seoul Robotics have been providing various automation solutions such as wearable computers, handheld devices, LiDAR devices, and in-store robots that can be used for inventory scanning, floor care, or security purposes. While companies such as Mashgin and Cloudpick offer frictionless checkout in stores by combining proprietary computer vision, deep learning, sensor fusion, and edge computing technologies.
"Given their obvious operational benefits of enhanced customer experience, streamlined task/employee management, price management, or automated item monitoring, the impact of these technologies on the wider supply chain management for retailers can't be understated. Beyond enabling rapid fulfillment/restocking or automated inventory management, these technologies also provide additional data points for precise demand and procurement planning. This can also lead to an enhanced omnichannel presence for retailers and stronger partnerships with suppliers, shippers, distribution center operators, and other supply chain stakeholders through enhanced communication and synergy," Luitel concludes.
These findings are from ABI Research's Digital Transformation of the Retail Supply Chain technology analysis report. This report is part of the company's Supply Chain Management & Logistics research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights. Based on extensive primary interviews, Application Analysis reports present an in-depth analysis of key market trends and factors for a specific technology.

A sustainable spirits producer is using ingredients that are normally wasted to produce a range of quality drinks that are perfect for bank holiday weekend cocktails. Discarded Spirits Co. aims to reverse needless waste by reusing traditionally ‘superfluous' ingredients to reinvent techniques and flavours.
Discarded Vermouth is made from cascara, the discarded fruit of the coffee cherry. Discarded takes these berries - millions of tonnes are thrown away each year during coffee production - and transforms them into a rich, fruity, and complex vermouth.
Discarded Banana Peel Rum transforms a once-wasted product into a taste resembling liquid banana bread. Made by infusing recovered banana peels into an aged Caribbean rum, which was previously used to season whisky casks, this tropical zero-waste delight is the ideal choice for the summer.
The award-winning Discarded Grape Skin Vodka is a fruity and flavourful vodka created by using waste from the wine industry. The leftover grape skins, stems and seeds are distilled to form the base of the spirit, and then blended with Chardonnay ‘wine alcohol’– another waste product from the wine dealcoholisation process – to form the final product.
Here, the zero-waste brand shares tips on how to keep bank holiday cocktails as eco-friendly as possible.
Cascara Negroni
Ingredients:
- 25ml Discarded Sweet Cascara Vermouth

431 Ghanaians in the United Arab Emirates due for deportation over expired travelling documents have been locked up in Dubai, as they await support from the Ghanaian government.
The spokesperson of the detainees, Francis Frimpong claim that they are victims of fraudulent activities of Travel and Tour Agencies in Ghana who promised them juicy offers including lucrative job opportunities.
Mr. Frimpong said among them include breastfeeding mothers, who have been held at the Airport under harsh conditions.
He said almost all of them were enticed to travel to the Gulf country to seek greener pastures but the travelling agencies that processed their documents did not fulfil their part of the arrangements after paying huge processing fees to them.
“We were first sent to the deportation centre where they said there was an aircraft ready to lift us home but it was not true. They later sent us to their Immigration service head office and then we were detained.
“All we do for some months now is bath and sleep because we are not allowed to go out. Many of us have fallen ill but we are not allowed to go out. Some fresh mothers have just given birth among us and their condition is deteriorating,” he complained.
According to him, after contacting the Consulate General of the Republic of Ghana in the UAE, they were promised government intervention but that is yet to be realized as they continue to endure the hardship in detention.
“The Consulate promised they will support us and get our return tickets to Ghana but that is in limbo. We have not heard anything from the Consulate after making such promise,” he bemoaned.
Mr. Frimpong managed to reach Crime Check Foundation (CCF) to channel their grievances to the Ghanaian authorities to come to their rescue as soon as possible to avert the worsening of their predicament.
He used the opportunity to advise prospective migrants to obtain the right documents from trustworthy sources and be wary of mouth-watering offers from Travel Agencies, but this will later land them in troubling situations as they find themselves.
“We were promised that when we get here, the employers would extend the visa for us but it was not true. Jobs here are difficult to get and so anybody promising you good jobs is lying to you. Stay in Ghana and work,” he said.

(TSXV: HMPG) ("Hempshire" or the "Company") is a California-based non-tobacco and non-nicotine smokable alternatives company that formulates and sells its own proprietary brand of cannabidiol hemp smokes ("Hemp Smokes") under the MOUNTAIN® Smokes label in Natural, Pineapple Squeeze™ and Mint Squeeze™ flavors. MOUNTAIN® Smokes look, feel, burn, and are packaged like tobacco cigarettes, but without the harmful effects and addictive properties of tobacco and nicotine, and without additives or chemical preservatives.
Hempshire recently commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange and is pleased to provide an overview of the Company and its strategic initiatives to support growth in 2022 and 2023.
Hempshire has established a team of successful executives and partners who have been instrumental in creating, building and executing launch and marketing strategies for some of the world's most iconic brands, including Apple's Mac, iPod and iPhone, Pfizer's Viagra, Mars' M&Ms and Snickers, multiple healthcare products for Bayer AG, GlaxoSmithKline, and other major pharmaceutical companies, as well as for companies including Coca-Cola, Disney, Nickelodeon, and Diesel.
The Company's President and CEO, Martin Marion, was formerly a senior executive at multiple Madison Avenue advertising agencies responsible for the marketing strategy of several global brands. The Company's CMO, Eric Starr, previously worked for Apple's ad agency (Media Arts Lab) as Creative Strategy Director. His work received several honors, including 'iPod Silhouettes' receiving 'Outdoor Campaign of the Decade', 'I'm a Mac, I'm a PC' receiving 'Campaign of the Decade', and Media Arts Lab won the honor of 'Agency of the Decade'.
Hempshire's top talent was attracted to the Company because of the quality and smokability of MOUNTAIN® Smokes, the addressable market potential, tightening regulatory pressures on tobacco and nicotine, and shifting smoker preferences.
Hempshire is dedicated to transparency in its ingredients – its Hemp Smokes are formulated with only organic full-flower hemp, organic mullein, and organic sage, with no tobacco, nicotine, fillers, preservatives or added chemicals.
The MOUNTAIN® Smokes brand includes MOUNTAIN® Originals (<0.3% THC) and MOUNTAIN® Zeros (non-detectible <0.0001% THC). The MOUNTAIN® Zeros line allows Hempshire to service certain global jurisdictions that have stricter THC regulations, and this line is also expected to be launched in the United States for those who may desire a Hemp Smoke without the risk of testing positive for THC.
To date, the Company's MOUNTAIN® Smokes products have been displayed in social media posts from hundreds of significant influencers in the music, TV/film, and social media industries. These posts have been made without any paid endorsements.
Hempshire's strategic initiatives are centered around targeting three global addressable markets with an aggregate annualized spend of over US$850 Billion.
(1) US$849.9 Billion Global Tobacco Market1
Hempshire smokable alternative products offer tobacco cigarette smokers the same familiar consumption experience and rituals that have contributed to the massive personal and social appeal of smoking and, in most jurisdictions, can be sold wherever tobacco cigarettes are available. However, they contain no tobacco and no nicotine, are non-addictive, are made from 100% organic ingredients, and typically have a retail price at parity or lower than most name-brand cigarettes.
The tobacco market is of particular interest and significance to Hempshire due to its immense size, shifting user preferences, and tightening governmental regulations. These shifts are highlighted in the following statement taken from British American Tobacco's website in September 2021:
"Generational differences and shifts in taste are continuing to emerge, as health and wellness become ever-more important. We anticipate growth in new categories of products, including – and beyond – tobacco and nicotine. Consumers expect these to provide stimulation and pleasure, in ways previously associated with cigarettes. We believe such growth will offset the predicted decline in cigarette consumption."
(2) US$18.1 Billion Global E-Cigarette and Vape Market2
Demand for e-cigarettes and vapes has grown due to manufacturer-sponsored studies presenting these nicotine-based products as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes and a social association psychology around vaping. However, regulatory authorities in multiple countries continue to restrict vaping and flavored nicotine-based vape juice, presenting a significant opportunity for Hempshire's smokable alternatives.
Hempshire's MOUNTAIN® Smokes provide e-cigarette and vape users the same hand-to-mouth experience, are also available in multiple flavors, and can be sold in the same convenient locations, but they do not contain addictive nicotine or other harmful chemicals, are less costly, and more environmentally friendly.
(3) US$5.2 Billion Global CBD Market3
The global CBD market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 17% from 2022 to 2030 due to its strong demand for health and wellness products and increasing government acceptance. Hempshire's Hemp Smokes provide consumers seeking CBD a form of consumption that has a relatively low cost per CBD dose and is more bioavailable than most ingestibles.
Recently, the traditional tobacco and nicotine industries have come under increasing regulatory pressures in the United States. The Company believes that, although it expects stricter regulations to take time, the non-tobacco and non-nicotine smokable alternatives category, and Hempshire as a result, will benefit from these changing regulatory shifts. Three recent examples include:
(1) "FDA Advances Ban on Menthol Cigarettes" The Wall Street Journal, April 28, 2022.
(2) "Biden administration says it plans to cut nicotine in cigarettes" The Washington Post, June 21, 2022.
(3) "FDA Bans Juul From Selling E-Cigarettes in U.S." The Wall Street Journal, June 23, 2022.
Based on its marketing and branding expertise, product quality, addressable target markets, tightening government restrictions for tobacco and nicotine, and changing consumer preferences, Hempshire has laid out four initial strategic initiatives in its effort to penetrate the smokable alternatives market.
(1) Establish Brand Awareness and Sales Growth in the United States – With the use of proceeds from the recent equity financing, Hempshire's focus will be to continue to build brand awareness of, and consumer demand for, its flagship MOUNTAIN® Smokes line of organic Hemp Smokes. The Company will be focusing these efforts through the following primary sales channels:
(i) Domestic Wholesale B2B Sales – The Company plans to leverage its industry leading retail relationships in key designated market areas to facilitate wholesale sales programs that result in MOUNTAIN® Smokes on shelves across the United States.
(ii) Ecommerce – In July 2022, Hempshire released a fully featured, conversion-optimized ecommerce website (https://mountainsmokes.com) that enhances the customer experience, provides compelling incentives for fast path-to-purchase, and includes a significant loyalty rewards program. The website facilitates direct-to-consumer sales and includes a private portal for wholesaler, distributor, and retailer sales. The Company's objectives through the website are to (i) facilitate initial D2C sales growth, and (ii) to obtain actionable data about this emerging consumer market which will be utilized to refine ongoing marketing and sales tactics. Specifically, the Company is focused on the consumers' ability to experience the product quickly, while capturing upsell opportunities to maximize Average Order Value (AOV) and Lifetime Value (LTV), two key ecommerce metrics.
(2) Position for International Growth – Building upon previous sales in Switzerland, Hempshire will focus on expanding its presence in Europe through its existing international distribution relationships. Hempshire will continue with its initial objective of achieving first mover advantage across the large European and EU markets.
(3) White Label and Partnerships – Hempshire will continue to build out its white labelling and contract manufacturing collaborations by pursuing partnerships with well-known brands and select artists and celebrities. The Company believes that its internal marketing and branding expertise, along with its ability to formulate high quality smokable alternatives, will attract these opportunities.
(4) Position Production Capabilities to Scale Quickly and Profitably – The Company will concentrate on expanding its supply chain network, becoming incrementally focused on demand-driven planning. Hempshire will seek to adequately supply its growth plan without over-extending inventory levels to maintain optimal use of cash. Hempshire management believes that the Company will be able to further improve margins through economies of scale.
Hempshire believes it has established the foundation and infrastructure to pursue its long-term vision of becoming a global leader in the non-tobacco and non-nicotine smokable alternatives market. Martin Marion, Hempshire's President and CEO, stated, "In my more than 35 years creating strategy and directing marketing programs for some of the biggest brands in the world, I've only seen a handful that were truly category disruptive and backed by a fundamentally superior product that has the potential to de-position a multi-billion-dollar industry. MOUNTAIN Smokes has the ability to achieve competitive commercial dominance and simultaneously create a happier and healthier world. This combination enables us to scale significantly by outsmarting and de-positioning our competitors, not out-spending them."
Incorporated in 2019, Hempshire formulates and markets its own proprietary brands under the MOUNTAIN® Smokes brand name, including MOUNTAIN® Originals cannabidiol hemp smokes ("Hemp Smokes") with <0.3% THC, and MOUNTAIN® Zeros Hemp Smokes with non-detectible, <0.0001% THC, and has additional proprietary brands under development. Hempshire also offers private white-labeling services and contract manufacturing services, through its partners, for significant non-owned Hemp Smoke brands in the United States and internationally.

Just over a week before the end of the so-called fuel discount, drivers are seeing prices at the pump rise yet again.
After a week-long downward trend and a few days of stagnations, fuel prices increased slightly over the weekend, according to motorists’ association ADAC.
According to ADAC’s latest survey, the average price of E10 premium petrol rose from around €1.717 to €1.730 between Sunday and Monday. Meanwhile, average diesel prices jumped to €1.974 from €1.964.
With the time-limited energy tax cut on fuel due to end overnight on August 31st, experts assume the price rise is due to higher demand as drivers seek to take advantage of the cheaper petrol prices while they can.

Major differences in price across Germany
However, ADAC noted that prices currently vary significantly across different regions and suppliers.
Furthermore, there is still a large north-south divide. Among other factors, transportation costs have risen due to the low water levels on the Rhine, meaning people in the south have to pay more for fuel on average than in the north.
Prices also continue to vary considerably at different times of the day: fuel is usually most expensive in the morning at 7am, while the cheapest time to fill up is between 8 and 10pm.
Since June 1st this year, energy taxes on fuel have been reduced to the EU minimums in Germany. Alongside the €9 ticket for public transport users, the measure was intended to offer relieve from the soaring cost of mobility following the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
Prices could rise significantly again with the end of the measure – potentially by around 35 cents for petrol and 17 cents for diesel, if the full tax rise is passed onto consumers.
However, ADAC doesn’t expect the cost to go up immediately, since petrol station operators are likely to have secured as much fuel as possible while the cheaper rate was still in force.
This means that most will have filled up their supplies ahead of September 1st and will then continue to sell petrol and diesel at reduced prices to gain a competitive advantage.

OpenSSF Welcomes Capital One as Premier Member
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital One joins the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) as a premier member affirming its commitment to strengthening the open source software supply chain. OpenSSF is a cross-industry organization hosted at the Linux Foundation, designed to inspire and enable the community to secure the open source software we all depend on, including development, testing, fundraising, infrastructure, and support initiatives.
Capital One joins the OpenSSF Governing Board in charge of leading the organization and providing strategic direction. "We are happy to welcome Capital One to the Open Source Security Foundation," says Brian Behlendorf, General Manager of OpenSSF. "As a highly regulated company that has invested in technology, Capital One has experience building the governance structure, modern architecture and collaborative culture that is critical for well-managed open source software delivery. By joining the OpenSSF, Capital One is demonstrating a serious commitment to secure open source software that benefits our entire ecosystem."
As one of the nation's leading digital banks, technology is central to Capital One's business strategy and how value is delivered to more than 100 million customers. The company began a technology transformation over a decade ago, which included an open source-first declaration in 2015. A modern architecture in the cloud is allowing Capital One to take advantage of the world's innovations and accelerate delivery by committing to a collaborative software-building approach among the open source community.
"Today some of the most ground-breaking digital experiences created for customers are based on open source software. As a company that widely adopts this technology, Capital One is incredibly proud to join the OpenSSF and the world's technology leaders as we collaborate to strengthen the software security supply chain," said Chris Nims, EVP of Cloud & Productivity Engineering at Capital One.

We look forward to working together to identify solutions that advance the OpenOSSF mission and give back to the open source community."
Earlier this year, the OpenSSF unveiled a 10-point plan at the Open Source Security Summit hosted in conjunction with the White House in May. The plan feeds into 10 different workstreams, like finding ways to reduce patching response times for open source software, developing new metrics to track code and components, moving the industry away from non-memory safe programming languages that make it difficult to find and fix vulnerabilities, establishing a framework for incident response teams that can be deployed across the open source community and conducting annual third-party reviews of the top 200 most critical open source security components. More recently, the OpenSSF hosted a Town Hall especially for open source software maintainers, contributors, software developers, and open source software users who know security is important, but haven't made the leap to join an OpenSSF Working Group or Project yet. On Tuesday, September 13th, they will be hosting an OpenSSF Day EU at the Open Source Summit Europe in Dublin, Ireland and online.

MMA reporter Brett Okamoto claims that Charles Oliveira has a bulletproof mindset, and he's amused by some of the comments made by Islam Makhachev's team ahead of their fight at UFC 280.
Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev will compete for the undisputed UFC lightweight championship at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi. Okamoto made an appearance on the DC & RC Show where he discussed the details of his one-on-one interview with the former lightweight champion.
Okamoto claims that the Brazilian was amused by the remarks passed by Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team. Oliveira has proven his fortitude several times in the past and laid to rest the doubts with his performances. His journey resonated with fans as a testament to overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
The ESPN reporter stated that Oliveira is going into the fight with ironclad resilience to silence the doubters:
''The thing about Oliveira is that he's been hearing that he's a quitter. He's been hearing that Justin Gaethje is gonna reignite that quitter in him. And he has been proving guys wrong all the time.''
He added:
''He's not sweating Islam Makhachev at all. Charles Oliveira is bulletproof right now in his mindset. He's going in, kind off amused by some of the stuff Islam Makhachev and his team has said.''
Watch Brett Okamoto talk about Charles Oliveira below:
Charles Oliveira claims that he accepted the Islam Makhachev fight to land the opportunity to fight Conor McGregor in Brazil
Charles Oliveira is determined to fight Conor McGregor once the Irishman makes his return to fighting. McGregor has been sidelined with a leg injury for over a year now and has slowly resumed full training.
Meanwhile, Oliveira is booked to fight Islam Makhachev for the vacant lightweight throne after 'Do Bronx' was stripped of the title ahead of UFC 274 for missing weight. The proud owner of the record for most finishes in the UFC is an underdog going into this fight against the Dagestani in enemy territory.
Speaking with ESPN reporter Brett Okamoto, Oliveira stated that he accepted the fight with Makhachev to inch closer to the mega-fight against McGregor:
“I like the narrative [of fight with Conor McGregor]. It would be perfect. We’ve been asking for this fight in Brazil so hopefully, it works out. I really do think it will happen next year. That’s the sole reason why I accepted this fight [against Makhachev]. I know the more victories, the better the chances so this is a step towards that fight.”

My petty neighbour blocks my driveway with cheeky parking tactic – I think she has a secret plan
A MAN has slammed his petty neighbour for blocking his driveway with a cheeky parking tactic - and suspects she has a secret plan.
The frustrated homeowner said he has been unable to use his own space, which he pays for, due to the "stubborn" resident.
He explained that outside his townhouse in Long Island, New York, he has a substantial driveway where he can fit the family's two cars.
Planted trees divide the land between tenants, however, his neighbour has decided to plonk her motor right in front of one trunk.
By overstepping the shrub, the bloke has been unable to get his two vehicles on his own drive.
He posted a picture of his parking predicament to Reddit to consult with social media users about the row.
The post read: "Neighbor being a a**hole or am I overreacting?
"I just moved into my first townhome and when we moved in we had to wait almost an hour for her to move her car out of the driveway so we could get boxes into our garage.
"I have a small Honda and a Chevy that has no problem fitting and I don’t cross her side."
The man has been forced to leave his grey motor, seen on the left of the image, parked on the street thanks to the unwelcoming resident.
Most read in The Sun
He further explained he was even disrupted by the dumped car as he moved in and was left "sitting in front of her house for an hour trying to find out who it belonged to."
And the homeowner revealed he had a hunch as to why his neighbour could be trying to irritate him on purpose.
He added: "I think she wants us to leave.
"It’s been unoccupied for 8 months and neighbours tell me she has been using my driveway as her parking spot."
The baffled bloke also said the woman could simply fit her car on her own drive, but "doesn’t want to park it in a parking spot and walk."
'TREESON'
Reddit users all said the same thing about the man's dilemma, reassuring him his anger was justified.
One wrote: "I’m so irritated on your behalf. I can’t stand people being this inconsiderate."
Another said: "The tree is there for a reason. That’s petty as f***."
A third commented: "A towable moment.. stand up on your hind legs and be bold. Get a couple of tow services on speed dial."
One joked: "They're committing treeson."
And a fifth added: "I’m not so neighborly when it comes to parking. They know better but don’t care. Tell them once then tow it. Buh bye."
We previously told how a homeowner was left furious after a motorist parked directly in front of his driveway when the rest of the street was free.
And this man got the ultimate revenge on his nuisance neighbour who kept blocking his driveway. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/19602479/petty-neighbour-blocks-driveway-cheeky-parking-tactic-secret-plan/ | 2022-08-24T13:31:30Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/19602479/petty-neighbour-blocks-driveway-cheeky-parking-tactic-secret-plan/ | false | 4 |

India will be playing their arch-rivals Pakistan in the second match of the Asia Cup 2022 tournament in Dubai Cricket Stadium, Dubai on Sunday, August 28. Once again, both teams are part of the same group. They last faced each other at the same venue in September at Super 12 of T20 World Cup 2021. It was the second time that India faced a defeat against Pakistan in the T20 Internationals.
The Asia Cup 2022 will be played majorly in Dubai International Cricket Stadium, which is also an adopted home ground of the Pakistan Cricket team. While both the teams are looking strong on paper, Pakistan will have an unfair advantage of being acquainted with the pitch.

India vs Pakistan: Previous encounter
The previous encounter was a nightmare for Indian Cricket fans as Babar Azam's men defeated India by 10 wickets in the first match of India's campaign for the T20 World Cup. Later on, India did manage to win a few matches but failed to qualify for the semi-finals of World T20.
While Kohli was the highest scorer for India in that match, Pakistan openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan shared a record-breaking partnership of 152 runs to beat India by 10 wickets.
India vs Pakistan: Head to Head
Overall, India and Pakistan have played a total of 200 times, and have given each other the worst dreams. However, India has won 7 out of 9 times in T20 matches. Given below is a table to analyze both teams' performance.
India vs Pakistan: Who has a better chance of winning?
Though Cricket is an unpredictable game, India has a better chance of winning in the T20 format. Also, the absence of Shaheen Afridi will be a huge blow to Pakistan. The form of Indian middle-order batsmen can serve as a major factor in India's victory.
Despite not being the favourites, Pakistan Cricket Team has evolved as dominant in the T20 format. With the likes of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman, they have a dangerous batting lineup as well.
India v Pakistan: Squad at Asia Cup 2022
Rohit Sharma will be leading the India Cricket team in the Asia Cup 2022. India is highly confident to clinch the Asia Cup. On the other hand, Pakistan is also another contender with star bowlers Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan. Check out the squad of both teams.
India: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal.
Pakistan: Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Khushdil Shah, Asif Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Shahnawaz Dahani, Usman Qadir, Mohammad Hasnain
India vs Pakistan: Players to watch out for
Ravindra Jadeja (IND): Ravindra Jadeja has always been India's best hope in knockout matches. With his exceptional bowling and cameo batting skills, he can be the most threatening to any opponent.
Mohammad Rizwan (PAK): Rizwan has been in limelight after his mesmerizing innings against India in World T20 2021 match. The opening wicketkeeper-batsman would be a delight to watch.
Virat Kohli (IND): Pakistan has always been Kohli's favourite opponent. His batting average against Pakistan is 77.75 which is one of the highest.
Babar Azam (PAK): Babar Azam has been recognized as one of the best top-order batsmen in Pakistan. At the young age of 27, he has some exceptional records under his name.
Rishab Pant (IND): Rishab Pant has been one of the best wicketkeeper batsmen India produced. He's in a red hot form and would be entertaining to watch.
Mohammad Hasnain (PAK): Mohammad Hasnain is replacing Shaheen Afridi in the upcoming tournament. The young bowler was in a terrific form in Big Bash League and will try his best to perform against heavyweights like India.

Multi-Channel Public Health Outreach Campaign Aims to Increase Health Literacy and Accessibility for One Million High-Risk Black and Hispanic Residents
PHILADELPHIA and PROVIDENCE, R.I., Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To address the public health crisis of skyrocketing diabetes among Black and Hispanic Pennsylvanians who develop diabetes at greater prevalence, the Health Promotion Council (HPC) and the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) have joined forces to launch "Make a Choice for a Healthier Life" campaign. More than one million households in Pennsylvania are being engaged through this multi-channel campaign, led by multicultural marketing firm Perry Media Group (PMG) and powered by the global health and wellbeing engagement leader, Virgin Pulse.
The "Make a Choice for a Healthier Life" campaign is a public health initiative designed to ensure populations of focus have access to life saving information about type 2 diabetes prevention. While all Pennsylvanians are welcome to be screened, the campaign is primarily focused on Black and Hispanic residents at risk for prediabetes, aged 18-and older, in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh and their surrounding areas. Those who want to know if they are at risk for type 2 diabetes can text the word "TODAY" to 600400 (textea HOY al 600400) to answer a few quick questions to get started. Participants who screen high will be referred to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-led National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) in their area. The "Make a Choice for a Healthier Life" campaign runs now through Oct. 2, 2022.
"Prediabetes is a serious condition that can be reversed if identified early and addressed with lifestyle changes, including eating healthy, getting more physical activity, and reducing stress. There are 96 million adults nationwide living with prediabetes[i] and most don't even know it," said John Patton, Vice President, Center for Innovation and Partnership, of NACDD. "It's critical that we help Pennsylvanians know if they are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. By using a multi-channel approach, we are able to aim our message at the right people and facilitate a simple, text-based risk assessment."
Type 2 diabetes is a significant health issue in the U.S., particularly among Black and Hispanic populations. Black adults are nearly twice as likely as White adults to develop type 2 diabetes, a racial disparity that has been rising over the last 30 years.[ii] Hispanic adults also have a higher likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes and are more likely to develop it at a younger age and experience higher rates of serious complications.[iii] Recognizing the need to address this growing health threat, CDC established the National DPP to reduce the impact of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
"It's harder than ever to get people's attention, especially when it comes to addressing health risks that they may be unaware of. Using accessible channels like text, mail, social media, online, and radio helps build awareness of health disparities and helps address them by connecting the right people with the programs that will make a significant difference," said Chris Michalak, CEO of Virgin Pulse. "We're honored to partner with the NACDD, HPC, and PMG on such an important public health initiative and help change more lives for good."
Pennsylvanians who wish to be screened can text the word "TODAY" to 600400 (textea HOY al 600400) to determine their risk for prediabetes. More information about the "Make a Choice for a Healthier Life" campaign can be found at makeachoice.org, or follow the campaign on Instagram and Facebook.
Health Promotion Council (HPC) is a nonprofit corporation, formed in 1981, whose mission is to promote health, and prevent and manage chronic diseases, especially among vulnerable populations, through community-based outreach, education, and advocacy. In 1999, the organization joined Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC), Pennsylvania's Public Health Institute, as an affiliate to strengthen its work in the public health sector. Through partnerships, HPC convenes and fosters collaboration among community‐based organizations, government, public health professionals, health systems, and community residents.
The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) works to improve the health of the public by strengthening the state-based leadership and expertise for chronic disease prevention and control in states and at the national level. NACDD's mission is national in scope, but the reach of NACDD goes beyond State Health Departments (SHD) into the communities and through partners working in local health departments, universities, other non-profit organizations, and other representatives who have self-identified as part of the chronic disease prevention workforce. A 501(c)3 non-profit organization, NACDD is a capacity building organization and for almost 30 years, has been providing support and technical assistance to SHDs, including territorial health departments. NACDD links more than 7,000 diverse, multi-disciplinary members in a network to promote national priorities, and prevention policies and programs; encourage knowledge sharing; and develop partnerships for promoting health.
The National DPP Lifestyle Change Program (National DPP): A key component of the National DPP is a structured, year-long lifestyle change program to prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The National DPP lifestyle change program is founded on the science of the Diabetes Prevention Program research study, and subsequent translation studies, which showed that making realistic behavior changes helped people with prediabetes lose 5% to 7% of their body weight and reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% (71% for people over 60 years old). The program is group-based, facilitated by a trained lifestyle coach, and uses a CDC-approved curriculum. The curriculum supports regular interaction between the lifestyle coach and participants; builds peer support; and focuses on behavior modification through healthy eating, increasing physical activity, and managing stress. The program may be delivered in-person, online, via distance learning, or through a combination of these delivery modes.

Western leaders pledged unwavering support for Ukraine as the war-ravaged country marked its Independence Day on Wednesday, coinciding with the six-month milestone of Russia’s invasion.
Leaders paid tribute to the sacrifices and courage of the Ukrainian people, voiced their resolve to keep supplying Ukraine with weapons and reviled Moscow for its attack on the neighboring Eastern European nation.
In Britain, floral and musical tributes punctuated a show of solidarity as Ukraine commemorated its 1991 declaration of independence from the Soviet Union. The U.K. Ministry of Defense tweeted a video of the Scots Guards Band, which usually provides musical accompaniment for the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, performing Ukraine’s winning Eurovision Song Contest entry, “Stefania.”
An arch of sunflowers — Ukraine’s national flower — decorated the entrance to the British prime minister’s Downing Street office. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is soon to leave office, urged allies to keep giving Ukraine all the military, humanitarian, economic and diplomatic support it needs.
“We will never recognize Russia’s annexation of Crimea or any other Ukrainian territory,” Johnson said in a Tuesday video address to an international summit on Russia’s seizure of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in 2014.
Like London, Brussels also chose to dress up for the occasion. The Belgian city, which is home to the European Union’s institutions, decked itself out in the colors of the Ukrainian national flag. A giant Ukrainian flag was unfurled in the capital’s historic Grand Place.
U.S. President Joe Biden, marking the day by announcing significant new military aid to Ukraine, noted that the day was “bittersweet” for many Ukrainians, as they continue to suffer but take pride in withstanding Russia’s “relentless attacks.”
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a video posted on Twitter that “our hearts go out to those who pay for the Russian war terror with their lives day after day, who are maimed and wounded.”
“We mourn with those who have lost friends or family members, who have had to flee, have been taken from their beloved homeland or by Russian occupiers, who have lost their belongings to Russian bombs, rockets and artillery shells,” the chancellor said.
Scholz had harsh words for Russia, rebuking the Kremlin for its “backward imperialism,” and stressed that Ukraine “will drive away the dark shadow of war because it is strong and brave, because it has friends in Europe and all over the world.”
French President Emmanuel Macron, in a video message bookended with phrases he spoke in Ukrainian, said the defense of Ukraine meant “refusing to allow international relations to be ruled by violence and chaos.”
He said Ukraine’s Independence Day “is a day of pride. But in the place of legitimate festivities, we are thinking of the dead and the fighters today, of the courage and resilience of your people.”
Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin adopted a similar tone, calling Ukrainians “brave and unyielding.” She added: “We stand with you. We won’t look away.”
Ukraine offers a lesson that “freedom and democracy will always win out over coercion and violence,” Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, said.
Pope Francis marked the half-year anniversary of the invasion by decrying the “insanity” of war and lamenting that innocents on both sides were paying the price.
The pontiff warned about the risk of nuclear disaster in Ukraine, a reference to the shelling of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhhia nuclear power plant. He also lashed out at those who were profiting from the war, especially weapons manufacturers.
Francis has stepped up his denunciations of the war, though he rarely blames Russia or President Vladimir Putin by name, evidence that the Vatican is trying to keep dialogue open with Moscow.

Environmental-Friendliness of Hybrid Cars Spurs Commercialization: Mounting concerns of the greenhouse gas emissions from use of fossil fuels has spurred the attractiveness of hybrid cars. Companies are therefore making a conscious effort in shifting away from conventional gasoline powered engines. This has generated profitable avenues for automobile manufacturers and automotive firms in the hybrid cars market.
Vast Adoption of ICE Hybrid Cars Underpins Profitable Opportunities: The ICE hybrid car segment held a major share of the hybrid cars market, in relation to revenue, in 2020. Widespread adoption of ICE vehicles in recent years has boosted the commercialization of products in this segment, found the study by TMR.
Automotive Companies Focus on Diversifying Product Portfolio to Maximise Revenues: A scrutiny of hybrid car sales statistics worldwide has found that their demand directly competes with that of electric vehicles (EVs). Thus, firms are gearing toward diversifying their revenue streams by focusing on commercialization of both, the study on the hybrid cars market found. In the coming years, emphasis on affordability of these will enrich the future of hybrid cars market prospects.

2 New York Democrats ousted from US House in primary losses
NEW YORK (AP) — In a cluster of contentious Democratic primaries Tuesday, two New York incumbents were ousted from the U.S. House after redistricting shuffled congressional districts in one of the nation’s largest liberal states. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a 15-term incumbent who chairs a powerful House committee, lost to longtime colleague Rep. Jerry Nadler, while Rep. Mondaire Jones, a first-term progressive who was one of the first openly gay Black members of Congress, was defeated by Daniel Goldman, a former federal prosecutor who served as counsel to House Democrats in the first impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump. In other races in the state, the chair of the House Democrats’ campaign arm, Sean Patrick Maloney, survived a primary challenge of his own from a progressive. Democrats held on to a swing district in a special election — at least for a few more months. In Florida, an incumbent Republican narrowly defeated a far-right provocateur. Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a conservative firebrand, won his primary with the specter of a federal investigation looming over him.

A federal judge on Monday sentenced Florida man Stephen M. Alford to 63 months in prison, followed by three years supervised release for his role in a scheme to defraud the family of Rep.

Alford, who admitted to wire fraud in the scheme last November, had promised the Gaetz family that, if they gave him $25 million to help free a U.S. hostage in Iran, President Joe Biden would pardon the Republican in connection to an ongoing child sex trafficking investigation. Alford faced up to 20 years and a $250,000 fine. Gaetz had used the complicated scheme to muddy the waters when news of the sex crimes investigation broke last March, but The Daily Beast recently reported that FBI records challenged his version of those events and revealed him yelling at agents about a search warrant outside his father’s Florida home.

The Chewa Heritage Foundation (CHEFO) in Malawi says people who want to attend this year’s Kulamba ceremony at Mkaika in Zambia on Saturday should get clearance letters from the organisation.
CHEFO Secretary General Numeri Geresomo told journalists on Tuesday that the clearance letters can be obtained from CHEFO office at Old Wenela in Lilongwe.
He added that those looking to attend the ceremony will be required to provide their name, vehicle Number and number of people to travel in the car.
Geresomo also advised people who are preparing to attend the ceremony to be at the border on time.
“We are encouraging people who are going to the event to make sure that they reach the border by 5am so that they can be cleared in good time to be at Mkaika by 8am.
“It is expected that there may be three heads of state in attendance. It will be imperative that people should be there before the function starts. It will not be easy and respectful to take seats when dignitaries are already seated,” he said.
He went on to say that people are supposed to put on Chewa heritage attire which includes Chewa wrapper which is currently found at CHEFO offices in Lilongwe.
This year’s ceremony will be the first in two years due to Covid-19 restrictions.
CHEFO was founded by Kalonga Gawa Undi who is the supreme leader of the Chewa people with the aim of uniting Chewa people in Malawi , Mozambique and Zambia.

Selling The OC Cast Net Worth: Is Tyler Stanaland Or Alex Hall The Richest Real Estate Agent?
The Oppenheims are back.
Selling Sunset fans, this one’s for you. The Oppenheims are back with more drama in the world of west coast real estate — this time, they’re bringing us a new spin-off series, Selling The OC. This time around, we’ll be introduced to a whole new gang of elite celebrity realtors, known for their shark-like ability to spot and sell multi-million dollar homes in sunny California.
Ever since Selling Sunset’s release in 2019, we’ve been obsessed with the ultra expensive real estate found on the west coast — and the people who operate behind-the-scenes to sell it. With Selling The OC, the Oppenheims and their glamorous team of elite realtors are back and they’re better than ever.
Just like their millionaire colleagues on Selling Sunset, the realtors set to star in Selling The OC are just as wealthy — especially now that they’re set to become famous reality TV stars. Read on to discovering the jaw-dropping net worths of the entire cast of Netflix’s new real estate reality show, Selling The OC.
What Is Brett & Jason Oppenheim’s Net Worth?
$50 MILLION (each)
After their success with Selling Sunset, the Oppenheim twins are back leading a new team of elite realtors. Selling The OC is just another new source of income for the multi-millionaires. As the president of The Oppenheim Group, Jason is responsible for a hugely successful real estate company that has helped sell million dollar homes to the likes of Orlando Bloom, Jessica Alba, and Dakota Johnson. Brett eventually joined his brother and became a key figure in the business. Jason also worked as an attorney for several years in the early 2000s. When season 5 of Selling Sunset hit our screens, Celebrity Net Worth noted that the twins were worth $50 million each. Now, with Selling The OC added to their CVs, we can bet their net worth is even larger, making them the wealthiest members of the Selling the OC cast.
What Is Brandi Marshall’s Net Worth?
$5 - 10 MILLION
Brandi Marshall is a realtor with The Oppenheim Group who has previously worked a Public Relations executive. She is also frequently involved with the ALS Foundation as a contributor and fundraiser. Fondly called the “great communicator,” Marshall is known for her calm, measured approach to real estate, which may explain why she’s been so successful in the competitive field. According to Showbiz Corner, SHSTrendz, and TV Guide Time, Marshall’s 15-year career in real estate would put her net worth at around $5 to 10 million.
What Is Gio Helou’s Net Worth?
$4-6 MILLION
Gio Helou is also joining the Selling the OC cast. According to his bio on The Oppenheim Group’s website, Helou specializes in turning around ultra-luxury properties in the OC. He also works in property development and film production. As his bio states, he “exclusively sells the best of the Newport Beach lifestyle — and lives it too.” Apparently, in his spare time, his interests include “fast cars and retro motorcycles.” In other words, this realtor has plenty of extra cash to spend. News Times, Celebrilla and Naija On Point roughly estimate that Helou has a net worth of between $4 and 6 million, making him one of the wealthiest Selling The OC realtors.
What Is Polly Brindle’s Net Worth?
$1-2 MILLION
Before entering the world of Californian real estate, British-born Polly Brindle worked as a model all over Europe for over two decades, partnering with the likes of Lancôme, Dior, and Aston Martin. Since 2011, Brindle has lived in LA, working as a Business Manager and realtor. Showbiz Corner and Naija On Point estimate that Brindle’s net worth sits in the millions thanks to her career with The Oppenheim Group and her many years as a model.
What Is Alex Hall’s Net Worth?
$1.5 MILLION
Alex Hall began with an interior design career before becoming one of the top realtors in the OC. Recently, she even helped with a $100 million sale. "It's already opened so many doors (pardon the pun), including being a part of a $100 million dollar listing," she told People. Apparently, the savvy realtor was initially hesitant to appear on the show, but Jason convinced her she’d be “stupid not to do it!" as she told People. According to Gossip Next Door, her net worth stands at around $1.5 million as of 2021 — we can bet that after even more sales in 2022 (not to mention a Netflix deal), Hall’s net worth is probably a great deal larger.
What Is Austin Victoria’s Net Worth?
$1 MILLION
Gossip Next Door estimate that Victoria has a net worth of roughly $1 million thanks to his career as a realtor and his previous work as a model in Los Angeles. Apparently, Victoria has only been with Oppenheim since July 2021. He is also a father to twin girls.
What Is Tyler Stanaland’s Net Worth?
$350,000
According to People, Tyler Stanaland has been working with The Oppenheim Group after leaving his family business after 12 years in order to be a part of the show. "I remember the first time I called Jason to talk about the show and it instantly felt more like friends catching up than a boss/employee conversation," he said. His biggest sale to date was selling a $19 million home to Shark Tank’s Mark Cuban. You may also know him as the husband of actress Brittany Snow! Websites Popular Bio, Just Biography, and TV Guide Time note that his net worth is closer to $350,000, though it’s likely his wealth will grow in due time.
What Is Alexandra Jarvis’ Net Worth?
UKNOWN
Originally an attorney, Alexandra Jarvis appears to be one of the more successful realtors on the OC team at The Oppenheim Group, having closed almost $40 million worth of sales in her first year on the team. Her exact net worth is unknown, but we’re willing to bet that number has gone up since her deal with Netflix.
What Is Alexandra Rose’s Net Worth?
UNKNOWN
As the top producing agent at the OC office, Alexandra Rose is sure to be an important cast member of Selling The OC. As she told People, her career point was “knocking on the door of a $20 million home and actually getting the listing.” According to her bio on The Oppenheim Group’s website, Rose sold $100 million in sales in her first four years. While her net worth is unknown, like her colleagues, Rose is probably worth several million dollars.
What Is Lauren Brito’s Net Worth?
UNKNOWN

According to her bio, she enjoys spending her time boxing, hiking, jogging and spending time with her son, family and friends.

'Nitish suited, but not a claimant for PM's post': Senior JDU leader
Lalan said that Kumar would be working towards forging opposition unity and if the BJP is defeated in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the prime minister's post shall go to whoever stood the chance.

PATNA: JD(U) president Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan on Monday said that the party's de facto leader Nitish Kumar was "not a claimant" for the prime minister's post even though the Bihar chief minister had all the qualities for the top job.
Lalan said that Kumar would be working towards forging opposition unity and if the BJP is defeated in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the prime minister's post shall go to whoever stood the chance.
"Let me repeat what Nitish Kumar has himself said many times. He is not a claimant for the prime minister's post. It is another thing that he has all the qualities that are required for the top job," the JD(U) chief told reporters here.
Asked about the statement by RJD leader, now the Deputy CM, Tejashwi Yadav that the longest serving chief minister was "PM material", Lalan said, "That is exactly what we are saying. He has all the qualities required for the job. But that does not mean he is eyeing the post".
"Nitish Kumar will be working towards bringing all opposition parties together against the BJP. If the BJP loses in 2024, then all the parties may decide who shall be the PM," said Lalan.
Repudiating the BJP's charge of "betrayal", the JD(U) president said Kumar resigned as NDA's chief minister and formed a new government when he was armed with the numbers, "unlike the brazenness we saw in Maharashtra".
Meanwhile, Union minister and senior BJP leader Giriraj Singh, a known detractor of Nitish Kumar, sneered at the talk of "PM material" and stressed that the JD(U) leader "is not capable of even becoming the CM on his own".
"Nitish Kumar must be the only chief minister who has been sworn in eight times but never heading a government of his own party. He always needs allies whom he uses like a crutch," Singh, who represents Bihar's Begusarai seat in the Lok Sabha, told reporters in Gopalganj district.
He also reminded Kumar of unflattering remarks of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad in the past while referring to the JD(U) leader's change in loyalties. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/aug/23/nitish-suited-but-not-a-claimant-for-pms-post-senior-jdu-leader-2490551.html | 2022-08-24T13:51:33Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/aug/23/nitish-suited-but-not-a-claimant-for-pms-post-senior-jdu-leader-2490551.html | false | 5 |
The report also noted rising drought hazards outside the EU, in Britain, Serbia, Ukraine and Moldova
Parts of the European Union could face three more months of warmer and drier conditions as Europe suffers a major drought that has fuelled forest fires, dried up rivers and devastated crops.
“Warmer and drier than usual conditions are likely to occur in the western Euro-Mediterranean region in the coming months until November 2022,” notably in Spain and Portugal, the EU’s Copernicus programme said in a report for the month of August.
Almost half of the 27-nation EU is under drought warning, with conditions worsening in Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and Spain.
The report also noted rising drought hazards outside the EU, in Britain, Serbia, Ukraine and Moldova.
Copernicus said that a shortage of rain and a sequence of heatwaves since May has led to the dry conditions and lower river levels. That in turn has hit the energy sector, depriving hydroelectric and other power plants of their prime source of energy and cooling liquid.
Water shortages and heat stress are also reducing European crop yields, with maize, soybeans, and sunflowers hardest hit. Recent rainfall in August has helped some regions, but crops in other areas have been battered by thunderstorms.
The report comes amid what experts say could be the continent’s worst drought in 500 years. Little significant rainfall has been recorded for almost two months, but Europe is not alone. Drought conditions are also reported in East Africa, the western United States and northern Mexico.
Climate is exacerbating conditions as hotter temperatures speed up evaporation, thirsty plants take in more moisture and reduced snowfall in the winter limits supplies of fresh water available for irrigation in the summer.
In Italy, authorities managing the northern Po river have put the country’s longest waterway on the highest level of drought severity alert.
The parched conditions have already caused billions of euros in losses to farmers who rely on it to irrigate fields and rice paddies.
More than 100 municipalities in France have water supply issues and drinking water is delivered by truck. More than 60 French departments are at the highest drought warning level of “crisis”.
Supplies in Spain’s Andalusia and Extremadura regions are less than a third of normal, the report said.
Low water levels on the Rhine River have seen Germany’s main industry lobby group warn that factories may have to cut production or halt it completely.
The river’s plunging water levels are also hitting coal and oil transport in the Netherlands.
The Danube – Europe’s second-longest river, stretching from Germany’s Black Forest to the Black Sea in eastern Romania – has dropped to one of the lowest levels recorded in the past century.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will launch his party's campaign for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections during his visit to the BJP-ruled state on September 5, it was announced on Wednesday.
Making the announcement here, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal said the opposition party has started the process of candidate selection and will release its first list of nominees for the year-end polls before September 15.
''The Assembly poll campaign will be launched by Gandhi on September 5. He will come here (Ahmedabad) and have a massive launching programme on election preparations,'' the Rajya Sabha member told reporters.
Venugopal said the Congress on Wednesday launched a 90-day election programme in Gujarat, where the party is out of power for nearly three decades.
Gandhi will visit poll-bound Gujarat two days ahead of the launch of the party's ''Bharat Jodo Yatra'' on September 7 under his leadership.
The mass outreach programme will see Congress leaders and workers covering 12 states and two Union Territories. The padayatra (foot march) will be about 3,500-km long and will be completed in about 150 days.
''Gandhi's September 5 visit will be for the Gujarat poll campaign launch. During his visit, he will also seek the blessings of the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel before the launch of 'Bharat Jodo Yatra','' Venugopal said.
Venugopal was here to take part in a meeting on the Congress's poll preparations with state leaders in the presence of senior election observer Ashok Gehlot and Gujarat in-charge and Rajasthan MLA Raghu Sharma.
Gandhi, a former Congress president, last visited Gujarat on May 10 and addressed a tribal rally in Dahod. After the ''Adivasi Satyagrah Rally,'' he had met party MLAs and interacted with tribal leaders.
The Wayanad Lok Sabha MP's subsequent visit to Gujarat was cancelled due to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons to him and Congress president Sonia Gandhi for questioning in a money laundering case linked to the National Herald newspaper.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has stepped up its election campaigning in Gujarat with its national convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal holding several meetings and interactions with people in different parts of the state and offering what he calls ''guarantees'' (pre-poll promises) when his party forms a government.
The AAP has already released two lists of its candidates, consisting of 19 names, for elections to the 182-member state Assembly.

Trip Ideas Winter Vacations 6 Incredible Cold-weather Adventures to Book This Year, According to Travel Experts For a once-in-a-lifetime winter vacation, think outside the box with these expert-approved destinations. By Liz Cantrell Liz Cantrell Liz Cantrell is an associate editor at Travel + Leisure. She edits stories with a focus on outdoor and adventure travel, as well as Canada, Northern Europe, and the Southeastern U.S. She also helps edit the T+L A-List of top travel advisors. Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Published on August 24, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Dmytro Moyseyev/500px/Getty Images For a winter vacation, close-to-home ski trips (or a much-needed beach getaway) are a no-brainer. But if you want to level up your cold-weather adventure, you've got options — whether that looks like a multiweek cruise to Antarctica or returning to a luxury lodge after invigorating days of dog sledding and snowmobiling in Canada. To help you choose, we asked Travel + Leisure's A-List of top travel advisors for their recommendations of the most incredible winter escapes around the world. Hike around snow-capped volcanoes in Mexico. "Travelers might be surprised to hear that you can see two permanently glaciated, snow-capped volcanoes—Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl—just outside Mexico City. You can also view Mexico's highest mountain Pico de Orizaba, which is 18,500 ft above sea level, and hike in Copper Canyon. In wintertime the canyon is often blanketed with snow in the highlands, while the lowlands will be 30 degrees (Fahrenheit) warmer!" — Zachary Rabinor, Journey Mexico Pico de Orizaba National Park contains the highest mountain in Mexico, the Citlaltepetl. Getty Images Go big in Antarctica. "People often travel to Antarctica for the penguins, seals, and whales, and then become mesmerized by the ice formations and glaciers. Traveling to Antarctica on a multi-week cruise is transformational. I recommend Abercrombie & Kent's Antarctica, South Georgia & Falklands Holiday Voyage, which is a great multi-generational program (there is even a dedicated Young Explorer's Guide.)" — Mary Ann Ramsey, Betty Maclean Travel Take a dip in a hot spring in Colorado. "For an incredible winter experience, I have to recommend the Dunton Hot Springs in Telluride, Colorado. The property is surrounded by mineral-enriched hot springs that were used for centuries for their healing properties. Some of the water was redirected into the beautifully restored 19th century bath house. Upgrade to a cabin with access to its own private hot spring and enjoy a soak under a starlit sky. During a snow fall, it's simply magical." — Mary Cropper, Audley Travel Night view of Minaret Station Alpine Lodge in New Zealand. Courtesy of The Alpine Group Go heli-skiing in New Zealand. "Accessible only by helicopter and surrounded by untouched nature, Minaret Station is magnificent any time of year. A New Zealand winter stay (June-August) offers opportunities for heli-skiing untracked powder runs, and access to more than 800 ski runs for all abilities. Cozy lounges with open-fires and toasty-warm hot-tubs await on your return to the lodge." — Sarah Farag, Southern Crossings The aurora borealis over Long Lake, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Getty Images Enjoy the northern lights and dog sledding in Canada. "Visit Tuktoyaktuk in Canada's Northwest Territories. It doesn't get any colder than this, but one can snowmobile on the frozen Arctic Ocean sea ice, dogsled across tundra, and see the Northern Lights in the same day. Guests can meet with Indigenous hosts who share their culture, and eat food like muktuk (whale), moose, caribou, and other big game from the Arctic."— Marc Télio, Entrée Destinations A snow leopard running. Tracking snow leopards in India. "For an adventurous winter experience, go trekking to see snow leopards in Ladakh, high in the Himalayas of India. Even seasoned safari lovers often overlook this remote, beautiful region and the animals one can see there." — Sandy Cunningham, Go Uncharted Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

Legislators blast Zim govt for paying pensioners US$5 per month
Members of Parliament have slammed the government for disrespecting pensioners citing that most of them were earning in the volatile Zimbabwean dollar an equivalent of US$5 per month.
Zanu-PF Bindura South legislator Remigious Matangira raised the issue in Parliament on Tuesday claiming pensioners were getting poor salaries equivalent to US$5.
“Today at the Post Office, it was just like they are tanked cattle. It was an eyesore seeing people crowded at the bank. All those elderly we are seeing are getting USD5 per month. Are we serious that someone is getting USD5 per month? Cooking oil on its own is USD6 without sugar. Some of them stay in the rural areas and they get on an omnibus to get USD5.
“They are waiting for the money to accumulate for three months so that they get USD15. Let us look at ourselves how much we have gone by killing ourselves. If we kill this foundation, that of people we are giving birth to, what will happen to them and who will look after them and guide them? It is those in Parliament who would have failed to implement and see to it that there is normalcy.
“It is my plea that if possible, let there be a review for our pensioners. Let us do this in good faith. All the pensioners in this country – I also worked at National Railways of Zimbabwe, you cannot even get in a bank and get that money – what will I use it for? Even tomorrow, we will be pensioners and then we get USD5 or USD15. It means that we were doing nothing by coming here to the Parliament of Zimbabwe. The little that we get, we try to use it to persuade the electorate to vote for us. There is no business for you and in 2023, you lose out and there is nothing for you. What then will happen to you?
“I saw an elderly woman crying. This affects everyone across the board. War veterans are crying and everyone is affected. Let us consider this situation and give people money that has value and money that can assist them in their lives,” he said.
The matter was reinforced by Umzingwane Constituency Member of Parliament Retired Brigadier-General Levi Mayihlome.
“The money that is being given to our pensioners is very little. Most of them lost a lot of money due to inflation and the money ended up being useless. Even the money for insurance ended up without any value and the money that they had set aside for their residential areas ended up losing its value.
“My plea is that they get rebates and other incentives, the exemption on tollgates and also have incentives for water, rates and electricity may be the Government can assist. These are our parents. We are also going to grow old and no one will remain in his youthful age.
“It is so painful that when you are old and weak, you will be treated in such a manner,” he said.
MDC Alliance legislator David Tekeshe said pensioners were not getting enough because of the currency crisis. This comes at a time when the local currency is continually falling against the US dollar.
“My only issue is that we are crying about the pensioners. Pensioners are not getting anything because of the instability of the currency. I think the Minister should consider putting US dollars in pension houses so as to cushion the pensioners until things stabilise and also consider pegging their pensions in US dollars,” he said.
Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube, however, responded dismissing claims that pensioners were getting US$5.
“Hon. Matangira raised the issue of pension payments at US$5 – I do not know about this. At the moment, the Government is paying US$50 hard cash and not US$5. In addition to that, the pensioner is getting the ZWL component as well.
“Perhaps this is NSSA payment but even then, NSSA has been indexing their payments. This is something that needs to be investigated but I am not so sure about these low figures coming out.
“I will engage him one-on-one so that I understand the issue but also engage the Minister of Social Welfare just in case it is a NSSA issue. I thought the payments were above the US$5 that he mentioned,” Ncube said. | https://nehandaradio.com/2022/08/24/legislators-blast-zim-govt-for-paying-pensioners-us5-per-month/ | 2022-08-24T14:03:42Z | https://nehandaradio.com/2022/08/24/legislators-blast-zim-govt-for-paying-pensioners-us5-per-month/ | true | 1 |

FRESNO, Texas — Several law enforcement agencies were seen Wednesday morning at a home in the Fresno area in Brazoria County.
A warrant was being served at the home on West Dallas near Nail Road, officials said. A narcotics lieutenant told KHOU 11 that the investigation was connected to a catalytic converter bust that involves possibly six locations. More than a dozen pallets of stolen catalytic converters were seen being removed from the Fresno area home.
A second KHOU 11 crew captured video at a Pearland home that may be connected to the investigation.
We are working to find out how many locations are involved and who was arrested.

Cindy Prado is stunning in sheer underwear as she says a quick hello.
The model and 2022 Miami Swim Week face delighted her Instagram followers this week with a sultry set of photos from Miami, Florida, where she shouted out a well-known brand and likely earned herself some cash.
Cindy shared two shots for her fans as she posed in daylight, from a bedroom, and in a slightly old-fashioned-looking underwear set.
Showing off her curvy hips, long legs, and toned abs, the blonde beauty sizzled as she modeled a mint green sheer bra, also going frilly with a full pair of briefs that drew attention to her waistline.
Cindy posed holding a magazine and with one arm up to a large glass wall panel, also wearing her blonde locks down as she knocked the camera dead. A swipe right showed the bikini bombshell in front of a mirror and shot from behind as she sent the camera a gaze via the reflection and showcased her curves from a different angle.
In a caption, Cindy wrote, “Oh hi,” then tagged Lounge Underwear.
One thing is for sure — Cindy is on the move.
Just yesterday, she updated with a gorgeous maxi skirt and matching bikini top look while posing poolside and overlooking gorgeous cliff and ocean views.
She tagged herself in Greece, saying, “Imagine this was the view from your hotel room.”
Cindy Prado has been modeling since she was 15
Cindy, who is now also CEO of her own Prado Program fitness brand, was profiled by Naluda this year, where she detailed her Cuban-American upbringing in Miami.
“When I was 15 I dabbled in some modeling but it wasn’t until I graduated high school that I started to try to take it seriously. As I mentioned earlier, it didn’t work out the way I planned so I took matters into my own hands and paved my own way into the industry by self-shooting and self-submitting myself to big brands around the world,” she revealed.
Cindy is also signed to Celcius energy drinks and is represented by Elite Miami.
Cindy Prado says modeling has its downsides
Getting candid about the downsides of the industry she’s in, Cindy added, “Unfortunately the world isn’t always a very nice place. With the job comes mean negative comments, often on the internet.”
Cindy is followed by Jessie James Decker and walked for the singer’s Kittenish brand at this year’s Miami Swim Week. | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/celebrity/cindy-prado-says-hello-in-sheer-underwear/ | 2022-08-24T14:09:18Z | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/celebrity/cindy-prado-says-hello-in-sheer-underwear/ | true | 1 |

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — A Belgian-British teenager became the youngest person to fly around the world solo in a small aircraft after he landed on Wednesday in Bulgaria, where his global journey kicked off five months ago.
Mack Rutherford, who turned 17 during the trip, landed on an airstrip west of Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia, to complete his task and to claim two Guinness World Records. Along with becoming the youngest person to fly around the world by himself, Rutherford is the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe in a microlight plane.
His sister, Zara, who finished her own trip global flight in January at age 19, previously held the ultralight record. Rutherford took the age record from Travis Ludlow of Britain, who was 18 when he made a solo flight around the world last year.
The record journey, which began March 23, took Rutherford through 52 countries over five continents. To set a mark recognized by the Guinness World Records, he crossed the equator twice.
Born into a family of aviators, Rutherford qualified for his pilot's license in 2020, which at the time, made him the youngest pilot in the world at the age of 15.
His solo trip flying around the world kicked off in Bulgaria because his sponsor, the web hosting company ICDSoft, is headquartered in Sofia and loaned him the plane.
Like his sister, Rutherford flew a Shark, one of the fastest ultralight aircraft in the world with a cruising speed reaching 300 kph (186 mph). Normally a two-seater, it was modified for his long journey by replacing the second seat with an extra tank.
Initially planned to take up to three months, the trip lasted longer due to several unexpected obstacles along his way, including monsoon rains, sandstorms, and extreme heat.
But most of the delays were caused by waits to obtain permits and other documents required for further flight or having to alter the scheduled route if they were rejected.
The flight took him through Africa and the Gulf region to India, China, South Korea, and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 uninterrupted hours in the air on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait.
From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico, then he headed north again along the U.S. East Coast to Canada, and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.
On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people had arrived at the airport to welcome Rutherford and to celebrate his achievements. Among them were the three members of his immediate family.
Father Sam Rutherford said he was extremely happy and proud of his children’s achievements. He told reporters that such an event is especially encouraging for children to follow their dreams and parents to support them in their endeavors.
His sister, Zara Rutherford, said she kept in close touch with her younger brother during his journey.
“While he was flying, I constantly tried to keep in touch and help him. Our parents called him every day, and I joined in those conversations. I gave him advice on the route, on the flight, so that I could be useful to him,” she said. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/living/article/Teen-pilot-sets-age-record-for-solo-flight-around-17394801.php | 2022-08-24T14:19:11Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/living/article/Teen-pilot-sets-age-record-for-solo-flight-around-17394801.php | false | 71 |
HOUSTON (AP) — Justin Verlander was totally fine leaving with a no-hitter intact after six innings against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
“I like to go deep in games in the regular season, but I’d rather do it in the postseason or at least be fresh and strong for that,” the Houston ace said.
Verlander posted his major league-leading 16th win and the Astros beat the Minnesota Tuesday night in Carlos Correa’s return to Houston.
Verlander (16-3) allowed just one runner to reach base — Nick Gordon struck out in the second inning on a wild pitch to get aboard. Verlander fanned 10 and lowered his MLB-best ERA to 1.87 in his spectacular return after missing almost two seasons after Tommy John surgery.
Manager Dusty Baker said Verlander was on a pitch limit of 90 Tuesday as the Astros transition from a six to five-man rotation. But he still asked Verlander if he wanted to keep going since he hadn’t allowed a hit.
“After six innings at … 91 pitches, you know it’s not going to be one of those nights,” Verlander said. “Maybe 15 years ago, 10 years ago when I loved throwing 130-something. But not now and specifically not after Tommy John in my first season back.”
The 39-year-old Verlander was pulled after 91 pitches. He is the only active player to have thrown three no-hitters — in May, he lost a no-hit try against the Twins in the eighth inning at Target Field.
Ryne Stanek relieved to begin the seventh and Correa led off with Minnesota’s first hit.
“I didn’t want to get no-hit on the first game back, so I had to drop that one in there,” Correa said.
Alex Bregman’s homer helped the AL West-leading Astros build a 4-0 lead. The Twins scored twice in the ninth and had the bases loaded before Bryan Abreu struck out Jake Cave to end it.
The Twins lost their fourth straight in a night of struggles at the plate that came after they placed All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton on the injured list with a hip strain. Until their late rally, the most noise Minnesota made came when manager Rocco Baldelli was ejected during an animated argument.
Correa, making his first visit to Houston after leaving the Astros to sign with the Twins this offseason, received a huge ovation when honored during a pregame ceremony where he was presented with his AL Championship ring. The crowd reaction was also huge in his first at-bat in the first inning and the star shortstop tipped his batting helmet to the adoring fans before stepping in the box.
The reaction wasn’t nearly as warm when he broke up the Astros’ combined no-hit bid with a liner to center field that a diving Mauricio Dubón couldn’t corral. That was the only hit for Correa, who was selected first overall by the Astros in 2012 and spent his first seven seasons in Houston.
Jose Miranda hit an RBI single with one out in the Twins ninth. There were two outs when Max Kepler’s run-scoring single cut the lead to 4-2 and chased Hector Neris. He was replaced by Abreu, who walked Gio Urshela to load the bases but fanned Cave for his second save.
Dubón gave Houston the lead with an RBI single in the second inning and Trey Mancini made it 2-0 with his run-scoring double in the fourth. Bregman’s 18th homer this season was a two-run shot in the seventh.
Yordan Alvarez added a single for the Astros on a night his family from Cuba got to see him play professionally for the first time. Father Agustín Eduardo Álvarez Salazar, mother Mailyn Cadogan Reyes and brother Yonder Alvarez Cadogan — each decked out in his jersey — gazed wide-eyed at the field as they watched him step to the plate.
“This is one of my biggest moments in my entire life,” his father told The Associated Press in Spanish through a translator. “And I could be able to say so many words, but the truth is that there are no words to express what I’m feeling right now.”
Alvarez was moved to know how special it was for his parents to finally see him play after being away from them for so long.
“It means everything,” he said in Spanish through a translator. “Obviously, when I came into the United States it was not easy. And when I arrived here, I arrived by myself. I knew I had their support, but obviously they weren’t here.”
Things got testy in the fifth when Twins starter Aaron Sanchez (0-1) plunked Jose Altuve on the left thigh. There was some jawing between Altuve and Sanchez and benches cleared, but there wasn’t any pushing or shoving.
Order was soon restored, but after Yuli Gurriel walked on four pitches, Baldelli came out of the dugout yelling at the umpires. He was soon ejected by first base umpire Todd Tichenor, but that didn’t stop him from screaming and gesturing wildly for a couple more minutes before leaving the field.
Baldelli said he was upset because believes he was charged with a visit to the mound when he went to try and calm down Sanchez and wasn’t properly informed of it.
“At the bare minimum I think there’s probably it’s necessary for someone to come over and let us know that a visit was given,” he said. “So that’s it. I disagreed and I disagreed on multiple levels.”
Tichenor said Baldelli should have known that he had been charged with a visit.
“The mound visit constitutes the manager going on top of the mound and talking to the pitcher, that’s a visit. Or a coach,” Tichenor said. “That’s a visit.”
Sanchez, who was the starter in a combined no-hitter for the Astros in 2019 against Seattle, yielded six hits and two runs in four-plus innings after being called up from Triple-A Tuesday.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Twins: OF Kyle Garlick (bruised rib cage) is scheduled to begin a rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A St. Paul Wednesday. He is set to be the team’s designated hitter Wednesday before playing in the outfield Thursday.
MOVING UP
Verlander’s big night moved him past Pedro Martinez (3,154) and Max Scherzer (3,157) and into 13th place on the all-time strikeout list with 3,161.
UVALDE STRONG
Mayah Zamora, who spent 66 days in the hospital as a victim of the Uvalde elementary school shooting, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Zamora got to meet Correa before the game, and his foundation along with several other charities worked together to find alternative lodging for her family while they build them a new home.
The foundation began work to get Zamora a new home after she learned that the shooter, who wounded her and killed 19 students and two teachers, lived just blocks from her home where she was too upset to return to after leaving the hospital.

Kaieteur News – According to the Ministry of Public Works, consultation will commence today on the US$115M East Bank Demerara Public Road (EBDPR) Project. Discussions will kick start at Golden Grove/Diamond Place NDC – Grove Primary School. The second round will be held tomorrow at Caledonia, Good Success NDC – Friendship Primary while the third will be on Friday at Soesdyke /Huist’ Coverden NDC – St. Mary’s Primary. All engagements will begin at 17:30hrs.
According to the project summary prepared by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Guyanese authorities will upgrade a 23.5 km stretch of the two-lane road from Grove, near the southern outskirts of Georgetown, to Timehri, near the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), running along the eastern bank of the Demerara River. This road segment traverses both open as well as residential community areas that are constrained for space on either side of the right-of-way due to physical barriers. The corridor, the IDB said, is essential for supporting economic activities as the East Bank Demerara Public Road is widely relied on for the transportation of goods from the coast, supporting value chains in sectors including manufacturing, food-processing, construction, mining, and forestry. The Grove to Timehri section specifically, provides essential access to the airport as it is the only road connecting the airport to the capital city, Georgetown.
This specific investment operation will be financed through an IDB loan of US$100M from the Bank’s Ordinary Capital (OC), and the remaining US$15,000,000 from the local counterpart. The proposed disbursement period for this programme is five years. The project will be executed by the Ministry of Public Works (MPW) through the Works Services Group (WSG) and Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI). The WSG is a multidisciplinary Project Executing Unit (PEU) within the MPW that has the mandate to execute government and donor-funded projects in the areas of transport and sea and river defences.
The bank was keen to note that efficiently working transport systems provide economic and social opportunities and benefits that result in positive multipliers effects such as better accessibility to markets, employment, social services, enhanced cost and time savings, lower the price for commodities, increased competitiveness, and additional investments.
The IDB highlighted that the East Bank Demerara Public Road is considered the major artery for goods coming to the coast and of supplies being transported to the interior. This includes timber from interior locations; and sand and loam from pits along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway. Due to its economic importance, the Government of Guyana, through the Ministry of Public Works – Work Service Group, with funding provided by the Inter-American Development Bank, believes upgrades to the EBDPR are critical.
The contractor for the project is expected to be selected in late 2022 and start final design in early 2023. Given the lack of a final design, WSG has started a preliminary assessment of the nature and magnitude of the displacement impacts on surrounding communities.

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — A Belgian-British teenager became the youngest person to fly around the world solo in a small aircraft after he landed on Wednesday in Bulgaria, where his global journey kicked off five months ago.
Mack Rutherford, who turned 17 during the trip, landed on an airstrip west of Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia, to complete his task and to claim two Guinness World Records. Along with becoming the youngest person to fly around the world by himself, Rutherford is the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe in a microlight plane.
His sister, Zara, who finished her own trip global flight in January at age 19, previously held the ultralight record. Rutherford took the age record from Travis Ludlow of Britain, who was 18 when he made a solo flight around the world last year.
The record journey, which began March 23, took Rutherford through 52 countries over five continents. To set a mark recognized by the Guinness World Records, he crossed the equator twice.
Born into a family of aviators, Rutherford qualified for his pilot's license in 2020, which at the time, made him the youngest pilot in the world at the age of 15.
His solo trip flying around the world kicked off in Bulgaria because his sponsor, the web hosting company ICDSoft, is headquartered in Sofia and loaned him the plane.
Like his sister, Rutherford flew a Shark, one of the fastest ultralight aircraft in the world with a cruising speed reaching 300 kph (186 mph). Normally a two-seater, it was modified for his long journey by replacing the second seat with an extra tank.
Initially planned to take up to three months, the trip lasted longer due to several unexpected obstacles along his way, including monsoon rains, sandstorms, and extreme heat.
But most of the delays were caused by waits to obtain permits and other documents required for further flight or having to alter the scheduled route if they were rejected.
The flight took him through Africa and the Gulf region to India, China, South Korea, and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 uninterrupted hours in the air on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait.
From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico, then he headed north again along the U.S. East Coast to Canada, and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.
On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people had arrived at the airport to welcome Rutherford and to celebrate his achievements. Among them were the three members of his immediate family.
Father Sam Rutherford said he was extremely happy and proud of his children’s achievements. He told reporters that such an event is especially encouraging for children to follow their dreams and parents to support them in their endeavors.
His sister, Zara Rutherford, said she kept in close touch with her younger brother during his journey.
“While he was flying, I constantly tried to keep in touch and help him. Our parents called him every day, and I joined in those conversations. I gave him advice on the route, on the flight, so that I could be useful to him,” she said.

BERLIN (AP) — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Cabinet approved legislation Wednesday that ensures basic protective measures against the coronavirus pandemic are continued during the fall and winter when more virus cases are expected.
The presentation of the rules — which also include the new obligation to wear N95-type face masks during all long-distance travel by train and bus as well as on planes — coincided with the publication of photos showing the chancellor and German Economy Minister Robert Habeck flying to Canada earlier this week without wearing masks.
The pictures triggered strong public criticism of an alleged double standard for politicians and regular people. Currently, medical face masks are mandatory on planes and public transport though N95-style masks are recommended.
Justice Minister Marco Buschmann and Health Minister Karl Lauterbach told reporters that the specific pandemic rules that apply to the German air force, which operates government flights, were met and that everyone on the flight, which also included German business leaders and reporters, took a PCR test before boarding the plane.
Still, the justice minister conceded that “politically, I would recommend to us as a federal government that we apply the same rules everywhere that apply elsewhere."
“Because otherwise, of course, the feeling arises that you’re willing to impose something on the citizens that you don’t want to impose on yourself,” Buschmann added. "And that’s why I can also understand to some extent that there’s so much talk about it.”
In addition to the mandatory use of N95-type masks during long-distance travel, the new measures, which will apply from Oct. 1 to April 7, will also include a nationwide obligation to wear masks in and test before accessing hospitals, nursing homes and similar institutions with vulnerable people.
Beyond that, Germany’s 16 states will have the authority to adopt their own rules depending on how severely the virus affects their areas. State governments could decide to require masks on local public transportation, in schools for students in the fifth grade and up, and at public indoor events. If the virus spreads widely again, the number of people at public events can be limited and testing can be demanded.
The justice minister stressed that there would be no more lockdowns or school closures no matter how the pandemic develops during cold-weather seasons.
“Students were certainly the group that suffered the most in the pandemic ... especially in terms of exercising their right to education, especially in terms of school closures," Buschmann said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Responding to an increasing number of threats born of conspiracy theories that agents were going to aggressively target middle-income taxpayers, the Internal Revenue Service announced Tuesday that it was conducting a comprehensive review of safety at its facilities.
The climate, healthcare and tax legislation signed into law by President Joe Biden last week included $80 billion in funding for tax collection efforts. Although Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen specifically directed the agency to not focus its attention on taxpayers with middle-class incomes, misinformation spread rapidly online that agents were going to crack down on taxpayers of all earnings levels.
The baseless assertions also said the IRS would distribute firearms to employees authorized to used deadly force, prompting threats to the IRS employees.
Now agency leadership has launched an examination of agency safety.
“We are conducting a comprehensive review of existing safety and security measures,” said Chuck Rettig, IRS commissioner about the agency’s 600 office locations nationwide. “This includes conducting risk assessments,” he said, by monitoring perimeter security, designations of restricted areas, exterior lighting, security around entrances of facilities and other measures.
“For me this is personal. I’ll continue to make every effort to dispel any lingering misperceptions about our work,” Rettig said in a Tuesday letter to employees. “And I will continue to advocate for your safety in every venue where I have an audience.”
Rettig, whose term at the IRS ends in November, is tasked with developing a plan on how to spend the new infusion of funds included in the Inflation Reduction Act.
Along with anonymous online forums, high-ranking Republican politicians have spread falsehoods about the IRS workforce and how the newly allocated funds would be spent.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., sent an August 16 open letter to Americans, calling on them not to take any new IRS positions, reinforcing false information about open roles at the agency and their access to firearms.
“The IRS is making it very clear that you not only need to be ready to audit and investigate your fellow hardworking Americans, your neighbors and friends, you need to be ready and, to use the IRS’s words, willing, to kill them,” he said in the letter.
Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said members have been vocal about their fears and worries about their safety.
“IRS employees are certainly very hard working and honest, they do the business of funding the government. They’re saying they don’t deserve to be treated as the enemy of the government,” he said.
He added that members who are of retirement age have expressed a greater desire to retire due to the increased attention on their jobs. More than half of the IRS’ enforcement workforce of 80,000 is retirement eligible.
Reardon said several workers have talked about being reminded of the 2010 Austin, Texas suicide attack, where Andrew Joseph Stack III deliberately crashed his single-engine plane into the Echelon office building, killing himself and Internal Revenue Service manager Vernon Hunter.
“The rhetoric we’re hearing now is dangerous,” Reardon said. “It’s putting these patriotic Americans at risk.” | https://www.news10.com/news/national/irs-launches-safety-probe-after-workers-threatened/ | 2022-08-24T14:33:11Z | https://www.news10.com/news/national/irs-launches-safety-probe-after-workers-threatened/ | true | 56 |

Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing’s private investment arm Horizons Ventures has invested in Canadian start-up SaNOtize Research and Development to help fund a late-stage clinical trial for its Covid-19 drug candidate. Horizons and Jerusalem-based online technology ventures investing platform operator OurCrowd have co-led the C$24 million (US$18.5 million) Series B round to fund the expansion of a third-phase clinical trial of a nasal spray aimed at treating and preventing the infection. It did not disclose the investment amount. “Our clinical and observational studies found [our spray] to be safe and effective at both treating and preventing Covid-19, even amid Delta and Omicron [variant] surges,” Gilly Regev, SaNOtize’s co-founder and CEO, said in a statement on Wednesday. “We look forward to expanding our clinical research and working towards regulatory approval in the United States and Canada.” Agricultural Bank of China International also took part in the financing round, which will fund the development of the nitric oxide-based nasal spray. The Vancouver-based start-up plans to recruit up to 3,000 participants in Canada and Sri Lanka. In clinical studies completed so far, the spray has been shown to rapidly reduce the viral load in people infected by Covid-19 and decrease the risk of infection after known exposure, the start-up said. In a recent study, the spray also shortened the time it takes for a patient to get a negative PCR result. The study’s results were published in The Lancet Regional Health Southeast Asia journal. Can ‘superman’ Li Ka-shing save the planet with ‘edible plastic’? It has also shown a 94 per cent reduction in the viral load found in patients who are at high risk of getting very sick from the infection, within 24 hours after treatment. The ratio rises to 99 per cent within 48 hours. As a potential preventive therapy, the spray has been used on people who have had high-risk close-contact exposure to Covid-19. They were 75 per cent less likely to become infected when compared to those who did not receive the same treatment, SaNOtize said, citing an observational study. The start-up aims to use its nitric oxide technology to develop “highly affordable and effective” spray treatments for a range of “bothersome” respiratory and topical infections, said Horizons portfolio curator Frances Kang, who was recently appointed a member of SaNOtize’s board of directors. SaNOtize was founded in 2017 by Regev and chief scientific officer Chris Miller. They want to develop therapies from nitric oxide, a naturally occurring molecule known to have antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Nitric oxide gas has been shown by other pharmaceutical companies to be safe across several applications, including inhalation by newborns with pulmonary hypertension, also known as blue baby syndrome, the start-up said. The spray, branded as Enovid in some countries, is approved as a medical device in Israel, Bahrain, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Nepal and the European Union. In India, it has been approved on an emergency use basis for treating adult patients with Covid-19 who have a risk of progression of the disease. It is not yet approved for sale in Canada or the US. Li Ka-shing’s seeker is a woman with uncanny bets on Facebook, Zoom, Siri Horizons, the investment firm of Hong Kong’s wealthiest man – Li is sometimes referred to as “Superman” for his deal-making prowess – opened an office in Singapore in May to expand its capabilities for finding new deals and supporting portfolio companies in Asia. Its portfolio spans 107 start-ups globally, with health and sustainability among its investment themes. These firms include 57 companies in North America, 18 in Europe, 15 in Israel and 17 in Asia-Pacific , its website shows. Its most recent deals include a Series A investment in California-based Ansa Biotechnologies, which is developing a next-generation enzymatic DNA synthesis technology to spur innovation with applications in biologic drugs and DNA-based data storage. | https://www.scmp.com/business/article/3190053/li-ka-shings-horizons-ventures-makes-undisclosed-investment-canadian-covid?utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-08-24T14:45:54Z | https://www.scmp.com/business/article/3190053/li-ka-shings-horizons-ventures-makes-undisclosed-investment-canadian-covid?utm_source=rss_feed | true | 1 |
Almost half of global cancer deaths caused by preventable risks, study says
(CNN) - According to a new global study, almost half of all deaths due to cancer can be attributed to preventable risk factors.
The top three risk factors are tobacco use, drinking too much alcohol or having a high body mass index.
A potentially lifechanging and lifesaving study could change the way people prevent and treat cancer.
According to the medical journal The Lancet, about 44% of all cancer deaths in 2019 may have been due to preventable risk factors.
The findings amazed, if not entirely shocked, those who treat cancer patients every day.
“To know that nearly half the cancer deaths in the world could be prevented is just astounding,” said Dr. William Dahut, chief scientific officer of the American Cancer Society.
Using data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s Global Burden of Disease project, the study examined 23 cancer types and 34 risk factors. They found three major risk factors stood out.
The first one, perhaps not surprising, was tobacco use.
The second, drinking too much alcohol.
“Obviously many people in this country drink alcohol moderately and reasonable amounts,” Dahut said. “But heavy alcohol use can actually lead to a significant number of cancers, liver cancers and other types of tumors.”
The third risk was a high body mass index.
Dahut said the good news here, all of these can be changed by making some tough but necessary lifestyle changes.
“Reach out to others or health care providers or support groups to get the help you need, because these are not easy things to change,” he said.
He emphasized the importance of these findings simply cannot be overstated.
“You know, imagine if we had a drug that came along like this,” Dahut said. “That you could take this drug with sort of minimal side effects, relatively low cost and could prevent cancer. You know, we would be shouting from the rooftops.”

Court denies bond revocation motion for ex-school secretary
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Justin SchultzCanadian ice hockey playerLiveTodayTomorrowvs--|
Aug. 24—A former high school secretary will remain free on bond while she awaits trial in Crawford County Court of Common Pleas for allegedly having sexual contact with an underage student last year.
Judge Francis J. Schultz denied a motion from the District Attorney's Office to revoke the bond of Sarah O. Shirey, 33, for alleged violations following a 35-minute hearing Tuesday morning in county court.
On Aug. 10, the DA's office filed a motion with county court to have Shirey's $15,000 bond revoked for alleged violations of bond conditions.
One violation cited by the office was Shirey had direct contact with a minor who was not her own child from July 4 to Aug. 7 of this year. Another violation was Shirey had moved without giving required notice to the Clerk of Courts Office and the DA's office as required as part of her bond conditions.
Shirey, a former Conneaut Area Senior High secretary, is scheduled to go on trial in September on seven felony counts filed by Pennsylvania State Police for alleged sexual contact with a 17-year-old student between Oct. 1 and 30, 2021, at her then-Fairfield Township residence. Police also allege Shirey sent the teen sexually explicit materials.
Shirey, who was the school secretary for seven years, has remained free on $15,000 bond since her arrest in April. On June 3, she waived her right to a preliminary hearing on all counts and automatically was ordered held for trial.
Conneaut School District placed her on administrative leave following her arrest. She was fired by Conneaut School Board members in a unanimous public vote at the board's meeting May 11.
At Tuesday's hearing, a relative of Shirey's testified he allowed her to stay at the relative's Cochranton-area home in early July and she had made the relative aware of the charges. However, the relative testified they were unaware Shirey was not to have contact with any minors except her own child until early August. The relative has a young child.
Under cross-examination by District Attorney Paula DiGiacomo, Shirey admitted she didn't give notice of two address changes to authorities as required.
"I didn't know that I had to," Shirey said when asked if she was aware she couldn't have contact with any minors other than her own child without the expressed permission of Children and Youth Services. Shirey admitted it was her signature on the bond condition documents that contained that provision.
Shirey told Schultz that she is living with a relative on Mullen Road in Vernon Township.
In denying the bond revocation motion, Schultz told Shirey, "I'm cutting you a break," noting the charges in the case involve a teenager, not a young child.
Schultz also said Shirey was "reminded all of the bond conditions of April 22 are in full force."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dodgers All-Star pitcher Walker Buehler underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career on Tuesday, leaving Los Angeles to head into the postseason and likely next year without a key member of the rotation.
“There’s no sugarcoating it,” said Andrew Friedman, president of baseball operations. “It was a tough blow but we’ll get him back. I know he’s already itching.”
The team disclosed earlier this month that the 28-year-old right-hander would be having season-ending elbow surgery. At that time, the team did not say Buehler would have the Tommy John surgery. The typical recovery time for the ligament-replacement procedure is 12 to 18 months.
“It was kind of the worse-case scenario in our mind,” Friedman said.
Buehler was 6-3 with a 4.02 ERA this season. He had 58 strikeouts in 65 innings pitched over 12 starts.
He was shut down in June because of a flexor strain and also had a bone spur removed. The prognosis called for him to recover in 10 to 12 weeks, and the Dodgers were hopeful he would be back for the postseason.
Last week manager Dave Roberts said Buehler had soreness while playing catch, forcing him to be shut down.
“I don’t know when the time of return is,” Roberts said. “I think there’s a sense of relief for Walker and a sense of at least we have a course of action.”
In addition to having the ulnar collateral ligament replaced, Buehler had his flexor tendon repaired.
“The most important bit of information from today is that it went as well as it possibly could have,” said Friedman, who texted with Buehler in the morning.
“His maturity and kind of how he was internalizing all of this was extremely impressive,” Friedman said. “It’s easy to be frustrated, it’s easy to be mad, but that wasn’t his state of mind at all. It was much more kind of pragmatic and matter of fact, and whatever came out of it, he was going to attack it and do everything he could to get back as soon as possible.”
Buehler had his first Tommy John surgery shortly after being drafted by the Dodgers in the first round in June 2015. He made his professional baseball debut the following August.
He was a key contributor to the Dodgers’ 2020 World Series championship, their first since 1988. He has been considered the team’s heir apparent to veteran ace Clayton Kershaw.
Buehler has a career 3.02 ERA.

As summer gives way to fall (if not cooler weather), it’s the perfect time to start thinking about cozy mysteries – books that feature a memorable investigator who must solve a crime that’s more intriguing than gruesome. Here are five that fit the bill; several are also set in locales that add a sense of escape amid the drama.
When a childhood acquaintance asks Commissario Guido Brunetti to look into her son-in-law’s financial affairs, he reluctantly agrees. The investigation shakes Brunetti’s faith in himself as a detective. In the newest book in Leon’s series set in Venice, Brunetti is joined by a trio of his closest colleagues as they try to untangle a web of family secrets and financial misdeeds while keeping the inquiry off the official books. The book is steeped in a gray, murky atmosphere as Leon describes the pandemic-related devastation of Venice’s tourist-dependent economy – a devastation that mirrors Brunetti’s inner turmoil as he tries to determine where his loyalty lies in the increasingly disturbing – and puzzling – investigation.
When sorting through her deceased mother’s belongings, Ruth Galloway is puzzled to find an old photo dated five years before Ruth’s birth of the cottage in Norfolk, England, where she now lives with her daughter Kate. Ruth’s mother had never indicated any connection to the cottage, so Ruth vows to find out more, even as the world is suddenly turned upside down by the pandemic and subsequent lockdown. Meanwhile, Detective Chief Inspector Harry Nelson, Kate’s father, is trying to figure out links among an unusual number of apparent suicides; as he and his team investigate, they discover connections to a murderer who may endanger Ruth and Kate. In the latest in her popular Ruth Galloway series, Griffiths delivers a satisfyingly complicated mystery plus a heartfelt look at the unsettling mix of panic and boredom in the pandemic’s early days.
V.I. “Vic” Warshawski’s latest case begins during the pandemic when she discovers a teenage girl hiding in the rocks along Lake Michigan. Badly injured, the girl is only able to say one word before losing consciousness. But that’s enough for Vic to go on as she delves into who hurt the girl and why. In her hunt, Vic uncovers long-buried family secrets that make her a target for a powerful, brutal cop determined to keep her off his turf. Once again, Paretsky demonstrates the staying power of her iconic character as well as her own deft storytelling skills.
What begins as a lighthearted office outing to Brocéliande Forest in Brittany, France, suddenly becomes one of Commissaire Georges Dupin’s most violent murder cases in “The King Arthur Case,” the seventh book in Bannalec’s best-selling Brittany Mystery series. In this latest volume, Bannalec plunges the cranky, brilliant Dupin into an apparent bloodletting among top academics studying the legend of King Arthur and the Round Table. As the number of murders climbs, Dupin finds multiple motives among the scholarly suspects, all of whom are being frustratingly obtuse with investigators. Bannalec compresses the action into a little more than two days and incorporates humor into his story, something too often missing in mysteries. His other trademark is the way he lets his love and knowledge of Brittany shine through in his books, especially in his descriptions of the region’s wildly unpredictable weather and sublime beauty.
With its story-within-a-story framework and a premise that offers an intriguing twist on a locked-room puzzle, “The Woman in the Library” will readily appeal to classic-mystery lovers. Gentill, an award-winning mystery writer in her native Australia, sets this book in the United States as she tells how a friendship quickly develops among four strangers sitting at the same table in the Boston Public Library’s opulent Bates Hall reading room when a woman’s scream suddenly pierces the space’s hushed serenity. The friendship among the four shifts and changes as secrets are uncovered and it becomes clear one of them is a murderer. Gentill boosts dramatic tension by interlacing this tale with emails sent by an increasingly psychotic aspiring writer to the woman who is writing the story of the four strangers who become friends. If this sounds confusing, it isn’t; instead, Gentill’s complex plot will keep readers guessing to the very end.
Karen MacPherson, the former children’s and youth services coordinator at Takoma Park Maryland Library, is a lifelong mysteries aficionado.

The popular initiative also aims to remind consumers of the taste and quality that UK lamb brings to the dinner table.
It is is supported by groups such as AHDB, Hybu Cig Cymru (Meat Promotion Wales), Quality Meat Scotland and LMC in Northern Ireland, among others.
There’s still time to support #LoveLambWeek

Every year, consumers buy 480 billion plastic drinking bottles globally and then recycle less than 10% of them. Evian churns out 2 billion single-use bottles of water annually. At the U.S. Open tennis championship, where the brand is the official water sponsor, spectators buy and toss tens of thousands of Evian bottles.
A new collaboration between Evian and fashion brand Rothy’s looks to make a small dent in this footprint by transforming these old bottles into chic new goods. Last year, the two brands collected 72,000 bottles from the U.S. Open, which Rothy’s has recycled into a tennis-specific capsule collection, including sneakers, racket bags, and visors. Today, a week before this year’s Open begins, the pieces drop on Rothy’s website and its New York stores. “This is an effort to encourage customers to recycle by demonstrating, very literally, what old bottles can turn into,” says Leeni Haemaelaeinen, Evian’s marketing director.
Rothy’s was launched a decade ago with the goal of repurposing ocean-bound plastic bottles into shoes and bags. Typically, the brand sources its plastic from third parties that collect water bottles along 30 miles of coastlines. After the bottles are cleaned, they’re turned into pellets and then placed in a machine that extrudes them into threads. Rothy’s built its own factory in China equipped with patented 3D-knitting machines that can turn these threads into complex forms, like shoe uppers.
For this project, the brands collected the Evian bottles from stadiums in New York City where the U.S. Open takes place, shipped them to China to be processed, then sent them to the Rothy’s factory. Rothy’s designers created pieces inspired by old-school tennis gear. All the pieces are white and feature blue, pink, and red stripes. “We want to keep these pieces out of landfill for as long as possible,” says Lavion Gibson, Rothy’s director of product design. “We stick to classic silhouettes that will not come and go with trends.”
The brands acknowledge that recycling bottles into new goods is just a small step in the right direction. If these shoes and bags end up in a landfill, they will still add to the plastic pollution crisis. But Rothy’s is developing a new program that will allow customers to send back shoes and bags, which will be taken apart to be recycled into new products. It expects to launch this fully circular system shortly. “Unlike natural fibers like wool that weaken during the recycling process, plastic can be melted back into polymers and infinitely recycled,” Gibson says. | https://www.fastcompany.com/90781373/rothys-used-72000-evian-bottles-to-make-this-chic-tennis-capsule-collection | 2022-08-24T15:03:48Z | https://www.fastcompany.com/90781373/rothys-used-72000-evian-bottles-to-make-this-chic-tennis-capsule-collection | false | 3 |

This year's fundraiser brought the nine-year program total to more than $1 million
CHICAGO, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For the ninth year, the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), the Chicago-area's new-car dealer association, partnered with the USO Illinois to host Barbecue for the Troops fundraisers. This summer, 63 local new-car dealerships fired up their grills to host community Barbecue for the Troops events featuring everything from patriotic ceremonies, classic car shows, live music, games for kids of all ages and, of course, barbecues. The dealerships rallied their communities once again, bringing in more than $81,000 for local military and their families.
"CATA dealerships are committed to giving back to their communities, and the USO Barbecue for the Troops initiative is one great example of dealers helping people in need – right in our own backyards!" said CATA Chairman JC Phelan. "This year is especially wonderful because of the $1 million fundraising milestone we achieved and I am so proud to present this check to USO Illinois on behalf of all participating dealers."
This year's fundraiser brought the grand total of the nine-year program to more than $1 million overall, supporting the USO Illinois initiatives with nearly 700 fundraisers. These funds enable the USO Illinois to lend support to more than 326,000 service members and their families annually.
"We are overwhelmed with the amount of support we have seen this year from our partners at the Chicago Automobile Trade Association and the local new-car dealerships," said USO Illinois Executive Director, Christopher Schmidt. "What started as a grassroots effort has now turned into more than $1 million in support for our local service members and their families."
In addition to the community fundraisers, awareness spread via social media. The CATA and USO Illinois ran a #BBQ4Troops social media contest where people could nominate individuals they deem worthy of winning the Ultimate Backyard Barbecue. Entries poured in throughout the month of July; wives nominated husbands who served overseas, parents nominated children who are active duty military and friends nominated deserving friends and neighbors.
Ultimately, the CATA and USO Illinois selected Tim Kilpatrick, who was nominated by his wife. In her submission, she noted, "Tim is a Marine Corp Veteran and Veteran of Foreign War who is a devoted father and husband. He is an extremely hard worker and puts 100% into everything he does." This summer, the Kilpatrick's will enjoy the Ultimate Backyard Barbecue for 20 family members and friends, complete with mouth-watering barbecue fare from Mission BBQ. The runner-up, Michael Duzenski, nominated by Michelle White, honorably served in the Navy for 20 years. Michael will receive a summer-themed basket from the USO including a signed Bears football, USO swag and a bags yard game set.
To celebrate another successful program, CATA board members joined the USO Illinois onstage at Clark After Dark last week to present their check for last week's total of $78,012. Clark After Dark is the USO's annual summer street festival fundraiser, held in the heart of Chicago's River North district.
"This program could not have been a success without the incredible support of our media partners," said Phelan. "Many thanks are due to all of our partners in TV, radio and outdoor advertising media who helped us promote this worthwhile program. And a special thanks to ABC 7 for producing the TV spot that aired throughout the market."
The CATA and USO Illinois are already planning for next year. The USO Barbecue for the Troops fundraising events are set to take place at local new-car dealerships on Sat., July 15, 2023.
For more information on the CATA, visit www.cata.info. For more information on the USO Illinois, please visit Illinois.USO.org.
Founded in 1904, the Chicago Automobile Trade Association is one of the nation's largest metropolitan dealer organizations. It is comprised of more than 420 franchised new-car dealers and an additional 150 allied members. The group's dealer members employ about 19,000 people in the metropolitan area. The association has produced the world-famous Chicago Auto Show since 1935. For more information please visit www.CATA.info.
The USO strengthens America's military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation. At hundreds of locations worldwide, we are united in our commitment to connect our service members and their families through countless acts of caring, comfort, and support. The USO is a private, nonprofit organization, not a government agency. Our programs, services and entertainment tours are made possible by the American people, support of our corporate partners, and the dedication of our volunteers and staff.

- Deadline to apply for environmental grants is Sept. 30 at 5 p.m. EST
- Grants support environmental education and stewardship initiatives across Dominion Energy's footprint
- Since 2003, nearly $39 million donated to projects that protect and improve the environment
RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy is encouraging nonprofit and educational organizations to apply for a total of $1 million in environmental grants to be distributed this year through the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation. This competitive grant process is designed to support work to improve the environment and provide educational experiences in communities served by Dominion Energy.
"As a company we strive to be good stewards of our environment and natural resources. We're proud to support local organizations leading exciting and impactful programs to protect and conserve our environment," said Hunter A. Applewhite, President of the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation. "These grants make the outdoor spaces in our communities more accessible and sustainable."
Since 2003, nearly $39 million has been donated to projects that protect and improve the environment. Last year one grant helped the Wildlife Center of Virginia in Waynesboro treat and research wild animals, while training other veterinary professionals to heal and rehabilitate injured wildlife.
"We have collected valuable information on the causes of our patients' injuries, then used the actual case histories of real patients to educate the public, inform policy makers, and address the root causes of the real threats to wildlife," said Edward E. Clark, Jr., President of the Wildlife Center of Virginia.

The Film Independent Spirit Awards will now feature gender neutral film and television acting categories and raise its budget cap to $30 million, the organization said Tuesday.
“We’re thrilled to join the other festivals and award shows that are already moving to celebrate great acting without reference to gender,” Josh Welsh, Film Independent’s president, said in a statement. “We’re also happy to welcome non-binary performers into the Spirit Awards without forcing them to choose to identify as male or female.”
The Spirit Awards honor smaller budget indie films and are known for its starry, free-wheeling ceremony that’s part of the awards season runup to the Academy Awards.
It joins several prominent awards organizations that have made the switch to non-gendered awards, including The Grammys, The Gotham Awards and the MTV Movie & TV Awards. The categories will now be “best lead performance” and “best supporting performance.
Raising the eligibility cap from $22.5 million to $30 million for a film production is intended to acknowledge the rising costs of making films.
“It has been a long time since we substantially increased the budget limit for eligibility,” Welsh said. “This new cap allows us to continue to celebrate the same breadth of work that we have in the past.”
Film Independent also set the date for its next show for March 4, 2023, the weekend before the Oscars on March 12. Nominations for the 2023 Spirit Awards will be announced on November 22. | https://kdvr.com/news/entertainment/ap-entertainment/independent-spirit-awards-make-acting-awards-gender-neutral/ | 2022-08-24T15:05:33Z | https://kdvr.com/news/entertainment/ap-entertainment/independent-spirit-awards-make-acting-awards-gender-neutral/ | false | 57 |
Next man up, Casey Toohill.
With Chase Young and Montez Sweat being limited to starting 9 and 10 games respectively in 2021, Casey Toohill and James-Smith Williams were each suddenly called upon to start 6 games.
Buy Commanders TicketsToohill came to Washington one day after he was released by NFC rival Philadelphia in 2020.
“I remember my first practice just getting tossed around and being like, I really just need to make my practice better. I need to have better habits. I need to spend more time outside of the building and then things should be better from there.”
Some of the defensive players have chided the offensive players when getting the best of the scrimmaging. But Toohill has noticeably not always been vocal. “That’s just not my style. You know, I do every once and a while. I think if you ask guys, they will say I can definitely be loud every once and a while. But yeah, in practice I just try to focus, feed off the energy.”
2020 was the last season Carson Wentz was with the Eagles. Toohill and Wentz overlapped briefly, with Toohill being released October 13. “I was there four or five games and the summer, so yeah, I overlapped with him. Really enjoyed meeting him there. He was nice to be from day one. I was a seventh-round pick, he had no reason to be but he was always kind to me which I appreciated.”
Chase Young’s sudden and terrible 2021 injury was Toohill’s sudden opportunity to contribute on the defense. “You never ever want to see someone get hurt or hurt severely. So obviously I wasn’t happy that Chase got hurt. It was very unfortunate to see. He’s a great player and a great friend, so I hated to see that, but yeah it was an opportunity.”

Toohill is learning more of the intricacies of the NFL entering his third season.
“I just think every year that I’ve played it’s become more about the details… I remember after my first season I was like, I have to get a lot bigger. I have to get a lot stronger. Then last year, it was the minute details of my job. Hand placement, footwork, certain little pass rush things, the very small things that I thought could make a big difference in the end.”
When Toohill first came to Washington in 2020, one of his teammates was veteran Ryan Kerrigan, in his last season with Washington. Now this season, Kerrigan is a part-time coach, shadowing the coaches, and helping at times with the players.
“It’s been awesome. You know, it’s funny because I got here when he was still here, and I remember he introduced himself to me and I was like man I know who you are. I watched your film in high school class. That was awesome then. So helpful then. I love working with him. He’s got a great mind set and it’s been a great pleasure.”
Next up for Washington is the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. In defeating the Arizona Cardinals Sunday, the Ravens extended the NFL’s consecutive record streak of preseason wins to 22. But Toohill knows what is important and what is not.
“I mean, you always want to win. That’s always the goal. But that doesn’t really change our focus. We want to go out there. We want to execute better. We want to play hard. Do our job, so that’s the focus.” | https://commanderswire.usatoday.com/2022/08/24/commanders-casey-toohill-trying-to-do-his-job-2022-nfl-preseason/ | 2022-08-24T15:06:29Z | https://commanderswire.usatoday.com/2022/08/24/commanders-casey-toohill-trying-to-do-his-job-2022-nfl-preseason/ | false | 1 |

Why Molinaro Lost the Election He Was Supposed to Win
On Tuesday night many political prognosticators were shocked to learn that Marc Molinaro had lost his bid in a special election for the 19th District House seat.
Voters in the Hudson Valley who have been watching Molinaro over the past year shouldn't have been too surprised by the outcome. The locally adored politician has slowly transformed from a man for the people into a political mystery.
I have voted for Marc Molinaro in the past and really enjoyed spending time talking with him on our radio show. The Dutchess County Executive has always come across to me as someone who cares about others and relished serving the public. He'd happily answer any question and, even if I disagreed with the answer, I always felt good knowing he was speaking from the heart. Sadly, that all seemed to change as soon as he began setting his sights on national office.
Molinaro appears to have adopted the same political strategy as Aaron Burr in the musical Hamilton. In the play, Burr desperately wants to gain political power and be in "the room where it happens." His tactic is to stay neutral on pretty much every issue, explaining his plan by saying "don't let them know what you're against or what you're for." His desire to appease everyone eventually backfires when Hamilton refuses to support Burr over his political nemesis, Thomas Jefferson, saying "at least Jefferson has beliefs, Burr has none."
Sadly, that's the way many voters say they now feel about Molinaro. The County Executive has run his campaign for the 19th district by saying as little as possible about the issues voters desperately want answers on. Instead, Molinaro has based his campaign on issues everyone agrees on like being anti-crime and pro-economy (I don't know anyone who's pro-crime or anti-economy, do you?). He's also seized on some silly issues like fighting for whole and chocolate milk in schools while being completely silent on pivotal issues that someone running for congress should really answer.
We still don't know what Marc Molinaro thinks about a host of topics because he has refused to discuss any of them. Assault weapons, climate change, voting for marriage equality, expanding medicare, January 6, supporting Trump as a presidential candidate, reproductive rights and many other hot-button issues have gone completely unanswered. How can people vote for someone when they pull an Aaron Burr on almost every major issue?
Congress is going to be casting some monumental votes that will seriously affect every single American. Whoever is elected is going to have to make extremely tough decisions based on their beliefs. Unfortunately, Molinaro hasn't shared any of his beliefs on most of these pivotal issues. His miscalculation was that he assumed voters would be more interested in discussing the price of eggs instead of what women are allowed to do with their own eggs. That has proven to be a big misstep.
I hope Molinaro takes this loss as a message that he needs to return to being an open and honest politician that tells it like it is. If he doesn't, we'll all be left asking the same question Hamilton did; "If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?"

WASHINGTON (AP) — Responding to an increasing number of threats born of conspiracy theories that agents were going to aggressively target middle income taxpayers, the Internal Revenue Service announced Tuesday that it was conducting a comprehensive review of safety at its facilities.
The climate, healthcare and tax legislation signed into law by President Joe Biden last week included $80 billion in funding for tax collection efforts. Although Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen specifically directed the agency to not focus its attention on taxpayers with middle class incomes, misinformation spread rapidly online that agents were going to crack down on taxpayers of all earnings levels.
The baseless assertions also said the IRS would distribute firearms to employees authorized to used deadly force, prompting threats to the IRS employees.
Now agency leadership has launched an examination of agency safety.
“We are conducting a comprehensive review of existing safety and security measures,” said Chuck Rettig, IRS commissioner about the agency’s 600 office locations nationwide. “This includes conducting risk assessments,” he said, by monitoring perimeter security, designations of restricted areas, exterior lighting, security around entrances of facilities and other measures.
“For me this is personal. I’ll continue to make every effort to dispel any lingering misperceptions about our work,” Rettig said in a Tuesday letter to employees. “And I will continue to advocate for your safety in every venue where I have an audience.”
Rettig, whose term at the IRS ends in November, is tasked with developing a plan on how to spend the new infusion of funds included in the Inflation Reduction Act.
Along with anonymous online forums, high-ranking Republican politicians have spread falsehoods about the IRS workforce and how the newly allocated funds would be spent.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., sent an August 16 open letter to Americans, calling on them not to take any new IRS positions, reinforcing false information about open roles at the agency and their access to firearms.
“The IRS is making it very clear that you not only need to be ready to audit and investigate your fellow hardworking Americans, your neighbors and friends, you need to be ready and, to use the IRS’s words, willing, to kill them,” he said in the letter.
Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said members have been vocal about their fears and worries about their safety.
“IRS employees are certainly very hard working and honest, they do the business of funding the government. They’re saying they don’t deserve to be treated as the enemy of the government,” he said.
He added that members who are of retirement age have expressed a greater desire to retire due to the increased attention on their jobs. More than half of the IRS’ enforcement workforce of 80,000 is retirement eligible.
Reardon said several workers have talked about being reminded of the 2010 Austin, Texas suicide attack, where Andrew Joseph Stack III deliberately crashed his single engine plane into the Echelon office building, killing himself and Internal Revenue Service manager Vernon Hunter.
“The rhetoric we’re hearing now is dangerous” Reardon said. “It’s putting these patriotic Americans at risk.” | https://kdvr.com/news/politics/ap-politics/irs-initiates-safety-probe-after-threats-to-workers/ | 2022-08-24T15:10:05Z | https://kdvr.com/news/politics/ap-politics/irs-initiates-safety-probe-after-threats-to-workers/ | true | 56 |
Teen pilot sets age record for solo flight around world
SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — A Belgian-British teenager became the youngest person to fly around the world solo in a small aircraft after he landed on Wednesday in Bulgaria, where his global journey kicked off five months ago.
Mack Rutherford, who turned 17 during the trip, landed on an airstrip west of Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia, to complete his task and to claim two Guinness World Records. Along with becoming the youngest person to fly around the world by himself, Rutherford is the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe in a microlight plane.
His sister, Zara, who finished her own trip global flight in January at age 19, previously held the ultralight record. Rutherford took the age record from Travis Ludlow of Britain, who was 18 when he made a solo flight around the world last year.
The record journey, which began March 23, took Rutherford through 52 countries over five continents. To set a mark recognized by the Guinness World Records, he crossed the equator twice.
Born into a family of aviators, Rutherford qualified for his pilot’s license in 2020, which at the time, made him the youngest pilot in the world at the age of 15.
His solo trip flying around the world kicked off in Bulgaria because his sponsor, the web hosting company ICDSoft, is headquartered in Sofia and loaned him the plane.
Like his sister, Rutherford flew a Shark, one of the fastest ultralight aircraft in the world with a cruising speed reaching 300 kph (186 mph). Normally a two-seater, it was modified for his long journey by replacing the second seat with an extra tank.
Initially planned to take up to three months, the trip lasted longer due to several unexpected obstacles along his way, including monsoon rains, sandstorms, and extreme heat.
But most of the delays were caused by waits to obtain permits and other documents required for further flight or having to alter the scheduled route if they were rejected.
The flight took him through Africa and the Gulf region to India, China, South Korea, and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 uninterrupted hours in the air on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait.
From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico, then he headed north again along the U.S. East Coast to Canada, and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.
On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people had arrived at the airport to welcome Rutherford and to celebrate his achievements. Among them were the three members of his immediate family.
Father Sam Rutherford said he was extremely happy and proud of his children’s achievements. He told reporters that such an event is especially encouraging for children to follow their dreams and parents to support them in their endeavors.
His sister, Zara Rutherford, said she kept in close touch with her younger brother during his journey.
“While he was flying, I constantly tried to keep in touch and help him. Our parents called him every day, and I joined in those conversations. I gave him advice on the route, on the flight, so that I could be useful to him,” she said.

You have eagle eyes if you can spot the cat hidden in the backyard scene
EVERY cat owner knows their furry friend can be an impressive escape artist.
A picture of a backyard scene contains a hidden cat but can you spot where the feline is?
The garden image is taken from a a high deck or balcony, which makes sense as cats are known for landing on their feet.
To the left of the image are several small trees and stumps, while the rest of the garden is covered in shrubbery.
The plants appear to be part of a vegetable patch as brightly colored fruit can be spotted throughout.
Have a scan around the garden scene to see if you can find the sneaky feline.
Here's a hint: The type of cat you're looking for is known for being lucky.
If you're still struggling to find the mischievous cat take a look at the midsection of the image.
Between the plants and tree stumps, towards the left hand side of the photo you might be able to spot a set of white eyes staring up at you.
The black cat is barely visible as it sits amongst the shrubbery, with its tail trailing behind it.

If you want to find another sly feline, try your hand at locating the cat amongst the pile of trash.
And if you're more of a dog person, try to find the camouflaged canine in this kitchen scene. | https://www.thesun.ie/fabulous/9300867/spot-cat-hidden-in-backyard/ | 2022-08-24T15:10:32Z | https://www.thesun.ie/fabulous/9300867/spot-cat-hidden-in-backyard/ | false | 3 |

Patna, Aug 24 (PTI) Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday denied that his family has any stake in a mall at Gurugram, which was among the many places raided by CBI in connection with a land for jobs scam.
The RJD heir apparent, talking to reporters outside the state assembly, waved a bunch of printouts and whipped out his phone to show a photograph and claimed that the real estate company which was developing the shopping complex enjoyed the patronage of Manohar Lal Khattar, the Chief Minister of BJP-ruled Haryana.

“I had said on the floor of the House that the project was inaugurated by a BJP MP. But now it turns out that it was none other than the Haryana CM himself,” alleged Yadav.
The young leader who was upbeat over the “Mahagathbandhan” (Grand Alliance), helmed by his party, having won a trust vote, repeated the “teen jamaai” (three sons-in-law) jibe at the BJP.
He alleged that three agencies - ED, CBI and the Income Tax department - were being used by the party ruling the Centre to get even with political opponents.
“Today is a historic day when the entire country is looking at us with hope. Let them carry out as many raids as possible, the tone has been set for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls,” said Yadav.
The BJP does not tire of bragging about NDA having won all but one of the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar in the last general elections, but it will not be able to win a single constituency in the next poll, he asserted.
“Raids are being conducted (on premises of a number of RJD leaders) and my name was being dragged into the matter. The intention was clear, to cause demoralisation on a day we were faced with a historic trust vote,” he said.
Earlier, the young leader had rankled the BJP members with repeated use of the “teen jamaai” barb which evoked angry protests, followed by an assurance from Deputy Speaker Maheshwar Hazari that he will get the remark expunged “if the rulebook suggests it is unparliamentary”.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who sat beside Yadav, could be seen chuckling numerous times as the RJD leader tore into state leaders of the BJP whom he accused of being “tongue-tied when faced with your leaders in Delhi”.
Yadav, a former cricketer, also latched on to a remark made earlier by BJP leader Tarkishor Prasad, who preceded him as Deputy CM.
Prasad had compared Kumar to “a batsman who safely stays on the crease, making the one at the other end get run out”.
The allusion was to Kumar “remaining the CM, even though his deputies keep changing”.
Dismissing Prasad's contention that Kumar, who has made many political volte-face, could ditch the RJD in future, Yadav said, “Let me tell you, ours is going to be an unbroken partnership. It will remain not out.”

A former Republican candidate for governor is challenging the GOP primary winner’s preferred running mate for a spot on the party’s ticket.
On Friday, Tudor Dixon announced she’d like former state Rep. Shane Hernandez to be her lieutenant governor if she wins in November’s general election.
Dixon and Hernandez both have endorsements from former President Donald Trump.
Despite that, Pastor Ralph Rebandt said he still can win the nomination at the Republican party’s convention this weekend.
“Many of the grassroots were surprised at [Trump’s] pick for Tudor … Those folks happen to be delegates who are extremely engaged, know what’s going on, and those delegates have a different mindset than the general population does,” Rebandt said Tuesday.
While Michigan voters pick major party gubernatorial candidates via a primary process, nominating convention delegates get final say over who runs for lieutenant governor.
Republican party rules call for a voice vote at the convention to see who gets that nomination.
“In the event the voice vote is unclear, the Convention Chair shall call for a recorded vote and the Party shall make available paper ballots to record each delegate’s vote in candidate elections,” the party’s convention rules read.
Earlier this month, Dixon won a five-way Republican primary with slightly less than 40% of the vote. Rebandt, who finished fifth in that contest, said he’d be able to bridge the gap between her supporters and grassroots factions of the party who may have supported someone else.
“I’m not having to promote myself right now either because the delegates are doing that for me. They’re out there, there’s chatrooms, there are people who are texting me, saying ‘Hey, you know I’ve invited you to this.’ And I get on and there’s a lot of people who are supporting me.”
Rebandt’s decision to enter the race comes as another former gubernatorial candidate, Garrett Soldano, announced he would not seek the lieutenant governor nomination.
The Michigan Republican Party itself says it’s remaining neutral over contested bids.
When asked the impact a nomination battle would have on party unity, GOP spokesperson Gustavo Portela said the party will focus on beating Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer regardless of how the convention goes.
“We believe that, at the end of the day, delegates are going to look and Republicans are going to look at who’s on the ballot,” Portela said. “And we know that whoever emerges, they’re going to be better than Gretchen Whitmer.”
The Dixon campaign is also centering attention on Democratic incumbents up for re-election, including Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
“We hope Pastor Ralph will join us in unifying the party and moving through convention seamlessly and on to defeat Whitmer, Nessel, and Benson in November,” chief strategist James Blair said in a written statement.
For his part, Rebandt maintains his bid is out of a desire for unity. | https://www.wkar.org/wkar-news/2022-08-24/pastor-ralph-rebandt-challenges-dixon-pick-for-lieutenant-governor | 2022-08-24T15:17:32Z | https://www.wkar.org/wkar-news/2022-08-24/pastor-ralph-rebandt-challenges-dixon-pick-for-lieutenant-governor | false | 2 |
It’s that time of year again, Amazin’ Avenue community! It is time for A Pod of Their Own’s fourth annual Dollars For Dingers fundraiser! As always, all proceeds will go to the National Domestic Violence Hotline (@ndvh), a cause A Pod of Their Own cares about deeply.
Each year we ask that our listeners pledge money for every dinger the Mets hit in the final month of the season. There is also a section for bonus pledges if you would like to add an extra incentive. Last year, we had bonuses for dingers from our favorite players, grand slams, strikeouts, manager ejections, lost earrings, shirtless walk-offs, and Busch Lites. Be as creative as you want. The only limit is your imagination! If you are interested in making a pledge add your name (first names or nicknames are fine), contact info (social media handles or emails are fine), and pledge amount to this Google doc and we will keep track of the tally. It is never too late to get involved; you can make a pledge any time before the end of the month-long fundraiser!
It is also not limited to the Mets or the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Your donation could be based on how many dingers another team hits or the money could go to a local women’s shelter of your choosing.
We will also be raising funds for the National Domestic Violence Hotline via an in-person raffle event. This year we are overjoyed to announce that Dollars 4 Dingers has returned to Citi Field. Our raffle event will be held Saturday, September 17th at 4:00pm at EBBS at Citi Field.
We will have a ton of fun prizes to raffle off the day of the event which will wrap up before first pitch of that evening’s Mets game against the Pirates—which is the Gary Cohen bobblehead giveaway, by the way! So, if you have tickets to the game, do not fear; you won’t miss a single pitch! But, you are also free to stick around at EBBS and watch the game with your fellow Mets fans after the event.
Over the past three years we have raised over $25,000 for charity and we hope to make Dollars for Dingers 2022 the biggest year yet! We greatly appreciate the overwhelming support for Dollars For Dingers this community gives us every year. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you.
LFGM and let’s hit some dingers! | https://www.amazinavenue.com/2022/8/24/23309722/mets-podcast-a-pod-of-their-own-fourth-annual-dollars-for-dingers-fundraiser-ndvh-ebbs-citi-field | 2022-08-24T15:20:30Z | https://www.amazinavenue.com/2022/8/24/23309722/mets-podcast-a-pod-of-their-own-fourth-annual-dollars-for-dingers-fundraiser-ndvh-ebbs-citi-field | true | 1 |
BRYMIR Release New Single "Fly With Me"; Official Music Video Streaming
August 24, 2022, an hour ago
Helsinki, Finland-based melodic death metal force, Brymir, will release their Napalm Records debut, Voices In The Sky, this Friday, August 26.
Today, the band unleash their third single and official music video, “Fly With Me”. The band proves their remarkable ability to combine immense, clear, earworm choruses with furious growls and heavy breakdowns. This is with no doubt the next band to keep on the radar in modern melodic death metal. Styled in the vein of Ensiferum, Wintersun and Children Of Bodom, they serve a more modernized answer to the melodic death metal equation.
Says the band on “Fly With Me”: "Social media is a wild place - it can a powerful platform for expression but at the same time it is a cesspit of disinformation, hate and bullying. A place where identities are forged and destroyed. This song is about the dangers of getting lost in the digital maze - be careful out there!"
Voices In The Sky marks a hefty next level creation in the vein of Ensiferum, Wintersun and Children Of Bodom, but serves as a more modernized answer to the melodic death metal equation with massive production, deep grooves and air-tight technicality. Nevertheless, Brymir continues to draw inspiration from traditional genres like folk and classical music, all brought together perfectly at the hands of the band and producer mastermind and singer Viktor Storm Gullichsen at JKB Studios, with mastering helmed by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios.
Voices In The Sky will be available in the following formats:
- 1CD Digisleeve (6 Panels)
- 1LP Gatefold Red (Transparent)
- 1CD Digisleeve + Shirt
- Digital Album
Pre-order here.
Tracklisting:

How ‘Andor’ Became the First ‘Star Wars’ TV Series for Grown-Ups: ‘I Wanted to Do It About Real People’
Tony Gilroy didn’t want to make a prequel to “Rogue One.” The 2016 “Star Wars” feature, which Gilroy co-wrote, is itself a prequel, detailing how a ragged crew of rebels, led by spy Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), steal the plans to the Death Star. They succeed, but (spoiler alert!) they all sacrifice their lives doing so — an uncharacteristically dour ending for a “Star Wars” endeavor. The production was also infamously troubled, with Gilroy, who wrote four “Bourne” movies and directed “Michael Clayton,” stepping in to helm extensive reshoots in place of director Gareth Edwards. When the result was a massive hit, grossing just over $1 billion worldwide, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy was eager do more “Star Wars” movies with Gilroy.

– Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and German Chancellor Scholz on Hand as World Energy Launches Canada's Largest and One of the World's First to Market Green Hydrogen Projects –
STEPHENVILLE, NL and BOSTON, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Canada and Germany last night, entered into an agreement to stimulate the development of green hydrogen production in Canada for supply to Germany at what is scheduled to be Canada's first large-scale green hydrogen facility.
World Energy GH2 officially launched its project to invest $12 billion in Newfoundland and Labrador to produce green hydrogen to power world markets. The accord, together with the launch of this project, signals the birth of an emerging and vibrant clean hydrogen industry in Canada.
World Energy, a carbon-net-zero solutions provider, will supply 250,000 metric tons of green hydrogen per year to global markets at the completion of its renewable hydrogen project. The joint declaration of intent was signed by Germany and Canada on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, during a hydrogen event hosted at World Energy GH2's project site in Stephenville, Newfoundland, and Labrador.
The project is first of its kind, bringing together global leaders who are committed to reducing carbon emissions and providing the scale necessary to expand the reach of decarbonization efforts throughout the world. The declaration of intent targets Canadian hydrogen exports coming online by 2025. This positions the World Energy GH2 project, which targets production for 2024, to be a key contributor to the accord's success.
"The Canada-Germany agreement on hydrogen is born out of a geopolitical and environmental imperative to accelerate the development and trade of clean energy among close committed democratic allies. Canada is blessed with some of the best resources in the world and is home to a quarter of the world's fresh water. It is 25 times larger than Germany with a population half its size. We are natural partners." said Gene Gebolys, World Energy CEO. "The time to act is now, the place to act is here."
"Canada has enormous potential as a reliable supplier of energy in a net-zero world. Our government is committed to working with our allies to ensure Canadian resources ensure clean energy security at home and around the world" said the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Natural Resources Canada.
"Atlantic Canada is positioned to be a global leader in the production of green hydrogen but there is no time to waste. World Energy GH2 is thrilled to deliver tangible support to our friends in Europe who urgently need reliable sources of clean energy," said John Risley, director, World Energy GH2.
"As important as this project is to Canada, Germany, and the world at large, it's critical that this initiative is of great value and pride to the communities in which it is based," said Brendan Paddick, lead director, World Energy GH2. "As a native Newfoundlander, I am 100 percent committed to making sure it is."
Harnessing Atlantic Canada's vast wind energy to split water (H2O) into hydrogen and oxygen through a process called electrolysis, World Energy GH2 will use renewable power to produce green hydrogen which can be used as an immediate solution to decarbonization in hard-to-abate sectors. The green hydrogen will be delivered in the form of green ammonia which will allow the global delivery of clean, renewable power at scale.

Decline in consumer confidence over safety and performance concerns could impact electric scooter sales in the country, according to a recent survey by LocalCircles, a community social media platform.
While the share of respondents who were not convinced about the safety and performance of electric scooters was at 17 percent in March this year, it almost doubled to reach 32 percent this month. Meanwhile, only 2 percent of the respondents had the same concerns a year ago.
Interestingly, as much as 31 percent from over 11,136 respondents surveyed across 292 districts of the country, said that they do not drive scooters.
There has been a steady increase in the number of electric vehicle registrations since 2019. More than 4.19 lakh new EVs were added to the roads in India till July 2022, more than the 3.11 lakh added overall in 2021.
But despite the increased sales, the first half of the current year has been challenging for makers of electric scooters as incidents where several of them caught fire were reported. In the wake of these incidents, leading companies in the segment such as Ola Electric, Okinawa and Pure EV were forced to recall thousands of their units.
This was followed by an expert panel finding that several electric two-wheelers sold in the country lacks even the basic safety features, prompting the government to seek corrective action and warn the manufacturers of legal action.
The LocalCircles survey shows that this has impacted the consumer perception towards electric scooters. Only 1 percent of the households surveyed said that they plan to buy an electric scooter in the next six months, down from the 2 percent who said the same in March.
“One of the top concerns of the people continues to be the fires reported in electric scooters,” said LocalCircles in its report. “While standards are being developed for electric batteries and electric scooters, with multiple Government stakeholders involved, the process is time consuming,” added the community social media platform.
Meanwhile, 7 percent of the respondents said that they would like to buy an electric scooter but do not have the funds for it and another 5 percent were unsure about the infrastructure available for electric vehicles in their location.
According to data from the Bureau of Energy Efficiency shared in the parliament by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, there are currently 2,826 public charging stations operational in the country. Furthermore, as much as 2,877 new charging stations have been sanctioned in 68 cities across the country. Having easy access to such infrastructure will be crucial to achieving the government’s target to raise the EV market penetration to 30 percent by 2030.
Data compiled from the Vahan dashboard shows that EVs only account for 0.49 percent of the total vehicles on the road in India. Although around one million new EVs were added to the country’s roads in the past three and half years, this pales in comparison to the 64.5 million non-electric vehicles registered during the same period, according to government data.
EV purchases are on an upward trajectory globally. According to the International Energy Agency, global EV purchases jumped to 6.6 million from 3 million a year earlier, accounting for 9 percent of the market. For India to catch up, it is critical for the industry and the government to win back consumer confidence, said LocalCircles. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/auto/concerns-over-safety-and-performance-could-impact-electric-scooter-sales-in-india-survey-9081401.html | 2022-08-24T15:30:17Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/auto/concerns-over-safety-and-performance-could-impact-electric-scooter-sales-in-india-survey-9081401.html | true | 2 |
California suffers a severe shortage of nurses, currently with about 41,000 positions vacant. Part of the problem is what’s called the “grey tsunami,” the retirement of many thousands of Baby Boomer-era nurses. Schools are not graduating enough new nurses.
Another problem was brought up by Dr. Robyn Nelson, the dean of nursing at CNI College in Santa Ana and a board member of California Coalition of Colleges of Nursing. Many nursing schools are short on professors. Part of the problem is nurses on the job commonly are paid more than the nursing professors in the classroom. Another problem is the COVID-19 pandemic took its toll on the nursing profession, as it has on so many others.
“I hear from my colleagues they are losing about 20% of their staff annually,” she told us. “Every day I get emails and phone calls from headhunters.”
A new nursing bill in the Legislature has some good elements, but needs to be improved so that vast gap can be filled. It is Assembly Bill 2684, by Assemblyman Marc Berman, D-Menlo Park. Nelson said a good part in the bill would consolidate the accreditation of nursing schools to “get rid of duplication and redundancy in the processes.”
The bill should be amended to say the California Board of Registered Nursing cannot limit the number of graduates. This needs to be done now because the next review of this process won’t occur for five years.
Nelson also pointed out patients would be helped if there were more nurses with bachelor’s degrees, in addition to those with associate degrees. “My concern is this enrollment limit might decrease the number of baccalaureate nurses,” she warned. “It’s not just straight numbers. Safety and quality is improved with baccalaureate graduates.”
To us this doesn’t seem like brain surgery. As RealClear Health recently reported, “In 2020, California nursing schools received 54,823 qualified applications but could only accept 15,002. In other words, each year, 39,000 eligible nursing students are denied access to nursing education in California.”
An amended AB 2684 to ensure there are no nursing-school enrollment caps is what’s needed. Patients can’t wait another five years for this fix.

HOUSTON, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DTS Technologies, LLC has announced release of its 50-megawatt (MW) geothermal well and reservoir technology called "DGS." The new method (see illustration) reliably extracts utility-grade energy from deep hot rocks prevalent in 50 countries. With each well powering 20,000 homes, DGS's industry-leading output is scalable to more than 10% of, not just electricity, but of total global energy within two decades. Even such partial transformation, done quickly, also means avoiding 5+ gigatons of near future annual greenhouse gas emissions well before 2050.
This scale of clean energy generation and climate relief can start today.
There are three non-polluting 24/7 energy sources: nuclear, hydro, and the largest of all, geothermal. Where environmental controversies and weather dependencies are well-known issues in nuclear and hydropower, geothermal is devoid. However, this seemingly ideal energy source is virtually non-existent in the grid.
Geothermal's absence is due, first, to natural steam occurrences being very rare. Then, efforts to artificially produce massive steam volumes fail because such technologies contact or transfer inadequate subsurface heat within engineered reservoirs. More specifically, developers cannot control the direction, speed, or processing time of heat-carrying water flowing through reservoirs specifically created for energy transfer. Unguided, these fluids simply find the path of least resistance, not completing the heating process. Further, large amounts of circulation water are commonly lost. Quite often, less than 1/10TH of the available energy is recovered currently from manmade geothermal systems.
DGS creates extensive reservoir surface area in deep hot rocks found most anywhere. System operating temperatures may surpass 700oF, and heating surface area in the rock can exceed 1000 acres. More importantly, the technology creates controlled hydraulic channels that precisely direct water flows across all hot surfaces. The channeling is analogous to lining or installing levees on riverbanks to create well defined boundaries and control fluid velocities and elevations. Such channeling also effectively doubles reservoir length, heating time, and ultimate energy transfer. In stark contrast to legacy systems, recovered heat efficiency from DGS installations approach 100%. It is DGS's sole high-level reservoir performance that can make geothermal economically compelling and highly scaled toward climate mitigation.
The highest temperature rocks underlie upward of 15% of the landmass in 50 countries. This resource extent can produce orders of magnitude more energy than is currently consumed by each such country.
Utilizing materials and methods practiced by the company's founders over many decades in energy and water industries, DGS Technology is ready now and currently deployable at 35 MW levels.
DTS Technologies, LLC is commencing investment, operator cooperations, and field demonstration programs. The company is also developing industry and supplier partnerships to support wide-scale deployment. Learn more at www.dtstechnologiesllc.com. Based on patents granted and pending. ©2022.
