The groups have been drawn: Inter draws Bayern and Barça, Messi for Juve. Milan challenge Chelsea, Liverpool-Napoli. This is how the bookmakers react
Expected every year with trepidation, the draw for the Champions League groups is the appointment that marks the beginning of the most prestigious European season. In Istanbul it did not go particularly well for the Italians: luck turned its back especially on Inter, who ended up in Group C with Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Viktoria Plzen. Juve instead draws Paris Saint-Germain and his terrible trident, in a group completed by Benfica and Maccabi Haifa. For Milan there is Chelsea, the others are more affordable: Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb; a group full of charm and not easy that of Napoli: Ajax, Liverpool and Rangers.
LITTLE CONFIDENCE
—
It will not be a walk for Juventus. The risk of catching a big in the first bracket was high, Benfica in the third is not to be underestimated: last year the Portuguese – who however lost Nunez – managed to hit the second round by eliminating Barcelona in a group with Bayern. The fourth team, the Israelis of Maccabi Haifa, is much more affordable. But even before the draw, Juventus did not receive the favor of bookmakers with a view to victory: the bianconeri remain the Italian in better shape, but in percentage terms the bookies – including Snai – quote the triumph at around 4%, a percentage that drops with Bet365 to 2.4%.
A MIRACLE?
—
Here is one of those cases in which already the draw for the group stage can change history: the feeling is that worse than that, Inzaghi could not go and end with Bayern and Barcelona did not help Inter, whose share for the victory final – already low – is given around 3%, but also drops to 2% on Bet365. Snai puts Milan’s cousins on the same level at 3%, while Bet365 lowers the odds of the Italian champions to 1.5, despite a not so prohibitive draw. Finally, Napoli: the Azzurri can play for the next round, especially with Ajax. Nonetheless, the percentages remain rather low: 2% for Snai, even 0.7% for Bet365.
LE FAVORITE
—
To contextualize such low odds, however, it is also necessary to take a look at those of the favorites: Manchester City leads with 26%, followed by Psg and Liverpool (16%), Bayern Munich (14%), Real Madrid (12%) ) and Chelsea (6.5%). Barcelona’s percentage was already low, but after the Bet365 draw it reduced it to 4.8%. More confident Snai sui blaugrana: 6.7%, level at which Antonio Conte’s Tottenham also stands.
With the Champions League we enter the heart of a season full of matches and events. The group stage of the 2022/23 season will be concentrated in two months due to the World Cup, from September to November: a unique opportunity for bettors, who with the start of European competitions are spoiled for choice of matches to bet on. For them, the bookmakers have reserved offers and welcome bonuses that can be used by betting on group stage matches and beyond.

Number of people in B.C. hospitals with COVID-19 down almost 10 per cent
Province reports 331 people in hospital with the virus this week and 29 in critical care
The number of people in hospital with COVID-19 declined for the third consecutive week while the number of patients in critical care has risen since the province last released COVID-19 data last week.
Data from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control shows 331 people in hospital with COVID-19 as of Thursday, a decline of about 10 per cent from the week before and down about 19 per cent from the total of 410 reported on Aug. 4.
Twenty-nine patients are in critical care, up seven from last Thursday.
The province also reported 33 more deaths between Aug. 14 and 20, bringing the total to 4,097.
The government's weekly numbers, which it says are preliminary, are often changed retroactively due to delays in the count and the new way the province measures weekly cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
Deaths are now calculated based on whether they occurred within 30 days of a positive COVID-19 test, whether or not the coronavirus has been confirmed as an underlying cause of death.
Last week, the province reported 24 deaths between Aug. 7 and 13. That number has been revised upward to 43.
The numbers released Thursday are part of an approach from B.C. health officials that began in April, in which they moved to weekly reporting of COVID-19 numbers and changed how certain metrics are calculated.
There were 737 new cases reported from Aug. 13 to 20, a decrease of nearly 16 per cent from the previous reporting period, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in B.C. to date to 381,788.
The province says it likely underestimates actual case numbers as most people are testing themselves, and there are fewer lab-reported tests.
The seven-day moving average for test positivity is 8.5 per cent as of Aug. 20, according to the B.C. CDC Dashboard, down from a high of over 10 per cent earlier this month.
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has said anything above a five per cent test-positivity rate is a general indicator of ongoing community transmission.
The B.C. Centre for Disease Control says while there continues to be week-to-week variability, SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in Metro Vancouver wastewater generally continue to decrease from recent peaks at the end of June and early July with an increase of viral loads detected at the Annacis Island treatment plant. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-covid-19-numbers-aug-25-2022-1.6562766?cmp=rss | 2022-08-26T02:02:10Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-covid-19-numbers-aug-25-2022-1.6562766?cmp=rss | false | 1 |

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Matt Araiza, the “Punt God” who led San Diego State to a record-setting season before being drafted by the Buffalo Bills, and two of his former Aztecs teammates were accused in a civil lawsuit Thursday of gang-raping a teenager at an off-campus party last fall.
The lawsuit, filed in San Diego County Superior Court, accuses Araiza, Zavier Leonard and Nowlin “Pa’a” Ewaliko of gang-raping a then-17-year-old girl at a Halloween party at a home where Araiza had been living.
The plaintiff, now 18, is identified in the complaint as “Jane Doe” because she was underage at the time.
No arrests have been made and San Diego Police have not publicly identified any suspects.
Leonard is listed on San Diego State's roster as a redshirt freshman offensive lineman from Arlington, Texas. Ewaliko is not listed on this year’s roster, but was on the 2021 roster as a defensive lineman from Seattle.
The lawsuit states that the teen had been drinking with friends when they decided to go to the party on Oct. 17 and she was “observably intoxicated upon arrival.” She became separated from her friends and was approached by Araiza who offered her a drink, according to the lawsuit. She believes the drink “not only contained alcohol, but other intoxicating substances,” the complaint said.
She told Araiza, who was 21 at the time, that she was a high school senior, according to the lawsuit. She alleges he then led her to a side yard where he asked her to perform oral sex and then had sex with her before taking her to a bedroom in the home. There were at least three other men in the room, including Leonard and Ewaliko, according to the complaint. The lawsuit states that Araiza threw the teen onto the bed face first as she went in and out of consciousness while she was being raped. It added, “but she does remember some moments from the horrific gang rape.”
After an hour-and-a-half, the teen “stumbled out of the room bloody and crying,” according to the complaint. Her nose, belly button, and ear piercings had been pulled out.
She immediately told her friends about the rape and the next day reported it to police and underwent a rape exam, according to the lawsuit. Officers coached her on calling Araiza, which she did 10 days later as detectives recorded it, according to the complaint.
During the call, Araiza confirmed having sex with her, the lawsuit states, but when she asked him “And did we have actual sex?” he responded “This is Matt Araiza. I don’t remember anything that happened that night” and hung up.
“This was a horrific crime, the kind of which happens all too often,” attorney Dan Gilleon said in a statement to the AP. Gilleon said this case is especially egregious because it not only involved "self-entitled athletes,” but multiple organizations from the university to the Buffalo Bills “have acted the part of enablers looking the other way in denial that my client deserves justice even if the defendants are prized athletes.”
The Los Angeles Times first reported the lawsuit.
Attorney Kerry Armstrong, who represents Araiza in the criminal investigation, called the allegations untrue based on the findings of an investigator he hired.
“I 100% do not believe that he ever forcibly raped this girl or had sex with her while she was passed out or drunk or anything like that,” Armstrong told the AP. “It’s unfortunate that she’s filed a civil suit. I think it’s a cash grab.”
Armstrong said the Bills were aware of the allegations and investigation of Araiza before the lawsuit was filed because he provided the team updates since he was retained by the punter about six weeks ago.
“Matt Araiza’s very upset about this, as you can imagine. He’s very disappointed,” Armstrong said. “But he’s going to get his day in court eventually.”
Armstrong said he’s been informed police have all but completed their criminal investigation, which will then be reviewed by the district attorney to determine whether to file charges.
Marc Xavier Carlos, who is representing Ewaliko in an ongoing criminal investigation, and Jamahl Kersey, representing Leonard, told the Times they could not comment.
The lawsuit comes days after the Bills cleared the way for Araiza to take over the punting duties by releasing returning veteran Matt Haack. Buffalo drafted Araiza in the sixth round because of his booming left leg.
The 22-year-old Araiza, who attended San Diego’s Rancho Bernardo High, was SDSU’s most recognizable player during a school-record 12-2 season that netted a No. 25 ranking in the final AP Top 25 poll. He routinely flipped the field with his jaw-dropping punts and set an NCAA record with a 51.19-yard average. He won the Ray Guy Award and was a first-team AP All-American.
“We were recently made aware of a civil complaint involving Matt from October 2021,” the Bills said in a statement. “Due to the serious nature of the complaint, we conducted a thorough examination of this matter. As this is an ongoing civil case, we will have no other comment at this point.”
The Bills traveled to Carolina for their exhibition finale at the Panthers on Friday night. It’s unclear whether Araiza will play against the Panthers, though the Bills have no other punter on their roster. Haack has since signed with the Indianapolis Colts.

Dollar Store G.I.Joe Brick sets are terrible
Quick PSA.
They're cheap, around 4.50 a set found at the dollar store. They are Hasbro licensed so i thought it would be around Kreo quality. I should've known when there's literally no info on the make on the boxes.
All of them are terrible, they're "brick compatible" and are "BestLock" branded. Super think plastic for the mini figures, mold flash everywhere and they don't hold together.
Best look up Youtube reviews if you're really considering them, but for me, I could've picked anything else for 15 bucks rather than these 3 sets.

The Justice Department must release a redacted version of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant affidavit by noon on Friday, a federal judge ruled.
The affidavit lays out why investigators believe there was probable cause that crimes had been committed. The warrant authorized the FBI to search former President Donald Trump's home and private club earlier this month.
Earlier Thursday, the DOJ submitted its proposed redactions to US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who issued the order for the public release.
Justice Department Spokesman Anthony Coley said: "The United States has filed a submission under seal per the Court's order of Aug. 22. The Justice Department respectfully declines further comment as the Court considers the matter."
Justice Department prosecutors have emphasized that they need continued secrecy as to not disrupt the ongoing criminal investigation -- especially as they keep confidential grand jury activity and protect witnesses who have or could share information.
In his order, Reinhart said the Justice Department convinced him that portions of the affidavit should remain sealed because "disclosure would reveal (1) the identities of witnesses, law enforcement agents, and uncharged parties, (2) the investigation's strategy, direction, scope, sources, and methods, and (3) grand jury information."
He concluded that DOJ had met "its burden of showing that its proposed redactions are narrowly tailored to serve the Government's legitimate interest in the integrity of the ongoing investigation and are the least onerous alternative to sealing the entire Affidavit."
News outlets ask judge to unseal DOJ brief addressing redactions
Not long after the DOJ's sealed filings about the redactions were submitted, a conglomeration of media companies, including CNN, filed a request with the judge asking to unseal the Justice Department brief addressing the redactions.
The media outlets said the brief should be made public with any redactions necessary to protect the ongoing investigation. Additionally, the media companies asked for the judge to order that, going forward, any documents the Justice Department files under seal in the transparency dispute also be filed publicly with the appropriate redactions.
"As this Court has also recognized, there is little interest in maintaining secrecy with respect to facts about the investigation that the government has already publicly confirmed to be accurate," the news outlets' request said.
At the minimum, the media organizations argued, "any portions of the Brief that recite those facts about the investigation, without revealing additional ones not yet publicly available -- in addition to any other portions that pose no threat to the investigation -- should be unsealed."
"If and when additional facts come to light and are confirmed to be accurate, or certain facts no longer pose a threat to the investigation for any other reason, there is no justification for maintaining them under seal either," the news outlets wrote. "Furthermore, any legal arguments in the government's filings should be made public, even if some of the facts the government recounts remain under seal."

Bontempelli says abductor injury has healed; will make trip west
Jon Pierik
Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli insists he has recovered from an adductor issue and will be fit for an elimination final against Fremantle next weekend.
Bontempelli has been battling a groin issue while still taking to the field but said on Friday he will make the trip west to Optus Stadium.
“It wasn’t as bad as what was put out - it was more of an overload result from a corkie the previous week,” Bontempelli said.
Bontempelli had been in doubt for the round-22 clash against Greater Western Sydney because of injury but played, and took on Hawthorn last weekend, when the Bulldogs edged into the top eight after Carlton’s demise at the MCG.
Coach Luke Beveridge had said Bontempelli had been dealing with various “niggles” through the season.
“He [Beveridge] was correct in the fact that we had a bit of a sit down and a chat about it,” Bontempelli said.
“I know where my body’s at, so it was a good discussion around it, but I’m feeling pretty good and I’m definitely over the adductor stuff now, which is good.”
The pre-finals break could not have come at a better time for the champion midfielder, as the Bulldogs again mount a premiership run from outside the top four, having made grand finals in 2016 and 2021 respectively from seventh and fifth on the ladder.
“The pre-finals bye does present that opportunity to freshen your mind and your body up and get set to go for another finals series,” Bontempelli said.
However, the Bulldogs were beaten by 17 points in their lone meeting with the Dockers this season in round 21 when Rory Lobb booted four goals at Marvel Stadium.
Dockers head of football operations Bob Murphy said on Friday that he expected skipper Nat Fyfe to lift his training loads over the weekend, having been quiet in his return to the field last weekend from injury.
Fyfe had only nine touches in the win over Greater Western Sydney, coming in a season when he has managed only seven senior matches because of injury.
The Dockers have resisted the temptation to play him in the WAFL this weekend, preferring for the midfielder-forward to take to the training track.
“He didn’t have a huge game in terms of stats last week but, just to my eye, it was one of those almost games, and he looked to be moving freely and he was flying for the footy. It looked like it wasn’t too far away at all for the superstar,” Murphy said.

A few days after placing him on injured reserve, the Kansas City Chiefs have waived RB Derrick Gore with an injury settlement according to the NFL’s daily personnel notice.
Gore suffered a fractured thumb during the preseason Week 2 game against the Washington Commanders. He was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday when the team had to make two additional roster moves to get the roster down to the new 80-man player limit.
Buy Chiefs TicketsShould Gore clear waivers and become a free agent, it’s possible that he rejoins the team at a later date when he is fully healthy. This is a bit of a roster workaround that Brett Veach has done in the past (Gehrig Dieter in 2019) to subvert the NFL’s injured reserve rules. If you place a player on injured reserve prior to 53-man roster cuts, they’re not allowed to be designated to return during the season. Waiving them from injured reserve with an injury designation opens up the possibility that they can be re-signed and play.
Gore first caught on with the Chiefs in February of 2021 when he first signed a reserve/future deal with the team. He was a standout during the preseason in 2021, but he didn’t make the active roster initially. Gore was called up to the 53-man roster from the practice squad when starting RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire was injured in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. He stuck on the team for the remainder of the season, recording 51 carries for 256 yards and two touchdowns. | https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2022/08/25/kansas-city-chiefs-derrick-gore-waived-injured-reserve-injury-settlement/ | 2022-08-26T02:16:37Z | https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2022/08/25/kansas-city-chiefs-derrick-gore-waived-injured-reserve-injury-settlement/ | true | 3 |

Annie Leibovitz makes no secret that she likes to fall in love with the subjects of her photos. But when it comes to Black women, many are left wondering where’s the love.?
The Vogue photographer recently shared a sneak peek from the magazine’s September issue, which features a profile of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The images were a hot mess, and social media let Leibovitz know, she may be a pro at photographing babies, but when it comes to Black women, it’s a hard NO.
Leibovitz’s latest photo shoot took place at the National Mall. One of the pics features Brown Jackson leaning on a column, hidden behind the shadows while the large marble statue of Abraham Lincoln looms over her in the background like some type of white savior. In another pic, she sits by the the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool stretching behind her, looking like she was photographed with an iPhone 4.
Both images have Brown Jackson’s skin tone looking exceptionally dull, and don’t portray any of the power and grace that one would expect from profile in Vogue of the first Black woman on the US Supreme Court. Critics—consisting mostly of Black women—quickly noted how poor the lighting was in the pictures and how it wasn’t properly suited for Brown’s darker skin tone.
This is not the first time that the 72-year-old photographer has come under fire for her seemingly unthoughtful use of light. Numerous tweets also pointed out previous instances where photoshoots conducted by Leibovitz ranked poorly when it came to pictures of Black women. She was blasted for her depictions of other powerful Black women, including Simone Biles, Viola Davis, Serena Williams and Rihanna.
Critics complain that Leibovitz manages to make her subjects look dull, ashy and sad, a far cry from the lively and graceful people that they usually are.
And yet she continues to be hired. That’s the epitome of white privilege at work. There are a number of Black talented artists waiting to be called on to photograph Black subjects, so why is Leibovitz constantly being regarded as the default when it’s been proven time and time again that she simply can’t deliver?
Leibovitz’s photographs are what happens when Blackness is seen through a white gaze that is incapable of capturing its true beauty. It’s time to fire her from the privilege.

Officials in New York are mulling a bill that would mandate speed limiters in new vehicles that would be set to the local maximum allowable limit. The system would use GPS and traffic sign recognition technology to determine the speed limit.
The system has an appropriately benign and Orwellian name: Active Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA).
Senate Bill S9528 was introduced by Manhattan State Senator Brad Hoylman on Aug. 12 and, if passed, would require any vehicle manufactured or registered in the state of New York to be fitted with the ISA system, starting from Jan. 1, 2024. It cites the results of a study that show such a system could reduce traffic fatalities by 20%.
The bill also calls for existing active safety systems like automatic emergency braking, active lane control, blind-spot monitors with pedestrian detection, driver drowsiness detection, and even a data event recorder to be mandated from the same date.
If you’re thinking this sounds like a bad science fiction movie, New York City is already running a trial with 50 vehicles from the city’s fleet fitted with an ISA system. The trial will run for six months.
“Speeding ruins lives, so we must take action to prevent it, and New York City is leading by example by implementing new technology to reduce speeds on city fleet vehicles,” Eric Adams, New York City’s mayor, said in a statement.
Critics of the system argue that in certain circumstances it’s vital to be able to go past the limit, such as during merging. A solution here could be to introduce the limit in stages. For example, first there could be a warning bell if the speed limit is exceeded. Then there could be a second, more serious warning, which if still ignored would then see the vehicle’s speed automatically reduced.
Of course, it’s not hard to imagine officials also using the system to constantly monitor a driver’s speed and automatically issue fines should the speed limit be exceeded.
A saving grace, as Jalopnik notes, is that safety standards for new vehicles, unlike emissions standards, are set at the federal level, which brings into question whether New York officials will be able to implement the bill even if passed.
The bill is currently In Committee, which means it’s under consideration. It has not passed the New York State Senate or State Assembly, and if it passes both it would have to be signed into law or vetoed by the governor.

The Boys, which is already back in production on season 4, is adding Jeffrey Dean Morgan to the cast. The hit Prime Video series about corrupt superheroes will reunite the actor with executive producer and showrunner Eric Kripke, after he first worked with the creator on Supernatural.
While details about his role haven’t been revealed, Morgan took to Twitter to share his excitement. “Can’t tell you how excited I am! Big thanks to [Eric Kripke] and [AMC+] & [The Boys] for finding a way with both schedules,” he wrote, presumably referring to the fact that he’s currently filming The Walking Dead spinoff Dead City. “No easy task. SO DAMN STOKED!!”
Kripke also took to Twitter to “welcome” Morgan to the Boys ensemble. “Welcome to the fam, [Jeffrey Dean Morgan]. We’re all SO PSYCHED to have you!!” he wrote alongside a picture of the cast on set of season 4, which they are “now shooting.”
“Great news!” Anthony Starr responded.
While The Boys is not expected to return with new episodes until 2023, Morgan can be seen reprising his role as Negan on the final episodes of The Walking Dead, which ends its 11-season run in October. He’ll then return as Negan opposite Lauren Conrad as Maggie in a new zombie spinoff, The Walking Dead: Dead City.
Originally titled Isle of the Dead, the AMC+ series follows Maggie and Negan as they travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan. Long ago cut off from the rest of the world, the crumbling city is now a place of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.

Houston Texans rookie RB Dameon Pierce may have won the starting job in Week 3 of the preseason vs. the San Francisco 49ers. If he hasn’t, he’s done everything you could possibly ask for of a rookie running back in the preseason. Pierce scored a TD with 37 yards on six carries for the Texans to open the game on the first drive.
Pierce has impressed all preseason and at practice during training camp. This has led to some hype heading into fantasy football draft season. Pierce is doing on average right outside the top-40 among RBs in fantasy drafts. Should he be able to beat out the likes of Marlon Mack and Rex Burkhead, Pierce has a chance to return very good value as a late-round flier at RB. If your draft is after Week 3 of the preseason, it may be too late. Pierce should gain some hype from this drive alone.
Pierce is a great zero RB target. You can wait and throw a bunch of darts blindly toward the end of your draft and see if anything hits. Pierce, if nothing else, should get carries in a time-share. That is if Mack and/or Burkhead stay healthy/perform well. The Texans could view this season as a wash and look to the draft during a rebuild, which would mean there’s no reason to push Pierce if he does have upside. It’s also the NFL. Coaches are stubborn. Lovie Smith is a veteran but we’ve always associated his teams in the past with defense and running the ball. If Pierce is the best at running the ball, Smith will use him. | https://dknation.draftkings.com/2022/8/25/23300717/dameon-pierce-preseason-news-updates-stats-texans-starting-running-back-depth-chart-marlon-mack | 2022-08-26T02:26:04Z | https://dknation.draftkings.com/2022/8/25/23300717/dameon-pierce-preseason-news-updates-stats-texans-starting-running-back-depth-chart-marlon-mack | true | 1 |
Russia’s Defence Ministry has confirmed that its forces were behind Wednesday’s missile strike on a railway station in central Ukraine that Kiev said left at least 25 people dead, including civilians.
However, Russian Defence Ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov claimed that more than 200 Ukrainian soldiers on their way to fight in the Donbass region had been killed in the attack in the central Dnipropetrovsk region town of Chaplyne, dpa news agency reported.
No evidence was produced to support the claim that so many soldiers died, however. Konashenkov added that the rocket hit a part of the station used by the Ukrainian military and that military equipment had also been destroyed.
The Ukrainian authorities said that 25 people, including two children, had died in the attack, while at least 30 others were injured.
The deputy head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, said that both residential areas and railway infrastructure in Chaplyne had been targeted by Russian forces.
Tymoshenko said that an 11-year-old who was crushed under rubble and a 6-year-old killed in a car fire near the train station had been among the victims.
Neither the Russian nor the Ukrainian claims could be independently verified.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack, which was carried out on Ukraine’s Independence Day, which fell six months to the day after the Russian invasion began.
US President Joe Biden called Zelensky on Thursday to offer him his moral support and to promise Washington’s continuing backing for Kiev as the war entered its seventh month.
Ukrainian train stations and rail infrastructure have repeatedly been targeted during the war. In April, at least 57 people died in an attack on a train station in the city of Kramatorsk in the eastern Donbass region.
Another recurring feature has been Russian efforts to take control of Ukrainian nuclear plants, which has led to worries that a miscalculation could result in a nuclear catastrophe.
Kiev said on Thursday that Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which is occupied by Russian forces, had been disconnected from the Ukrainian electricity grid, though Ukrainian nuclear agency Enerhoatom stressed that the plant’s power supply, which is vital for its safetly, was being maintained.
In his Thursday night video address, Zelensky called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to act with greater urgency over the contested plant: “Every minute that the Russian military remains at the nuclear power plant means the risk of a global radiation disaster,” he stressed.
Moscow said that the last two last operational reactors at the plant had been forced to temporarily shut down due to Ukrainian shelling, though the Russian-installed governor of the Zaporizhzhya region, Yevgeny Balitsky, said on Telegram that one of the reactors had subsequently been restarted.
Kiev and Moscow have repeatedly blamed each other for the shelling of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant. According to Enerhoatom, all four of the power plant’s supply lines have now been damaged by Russian shelling.
Washington blasted Russia’s attempts to claim the plant and the energy it produced on Thursday.
“No country should turn a nuclear power plant into an active war zone,” said deputy State Department spokesperson Verdant Patel, adding that it was very clear that the energy produced at Zaporizhzhya belonged to Ukraine.
Also on Thursday, the Cluster Munitions Coalition (CMC) cited observers as saying that internationally-banned cluster munitions have been used in by Russian forces in Ukraine. Calling the reports “shocking,” the CMC said that the munitions had caused hundreds of casualties since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine began in February.
“Preliminary data indicates at least 689 casualties reported
during cluster munition attacks in Ukraine for the first half of 2022. Many casualties may have gone unrecorded,” it added.
An 2008 international treaty bans cluster munitions, though many key countries, including the United States and Russia, are not signatories to the agreement.
In another hint that the war could still escalate, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday ordered a 137,000-person expansion of the Russian army, growing its entire personnel to over 2 million, including some 1.15 million troops. No official reason was given for the increase.

Five years ago, residents, first reponders, and visitors united to rescue the tens of thousands caught in the devastation of Hurricane Harvey.
"It was a devastating storm with a tremendous impact," Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner tells CultureMap. "More than 150,000. single family homes were either substantially damaged or destroyed. Probably about another 150,000 apartment units were impacted. WhenI look back now, this storm had no respect for a person's community. There was rain everywhere, in your lowest socio-economic communities and low-income areas and in affluent communities. It didn't matter whether you were a Democrat or Republican. What I remember is water — everywhere."
The water was indeed everywhere, with a seemingly endless deluge of an estimated 52 inches of rain. That catastophe led to 6,000 calls made to 911 in the Houston area and some 10,000 rescued by first responders.
Worse, the most costly rain event in U.S. history claimed 103 direct and indirect deaths and caused some $125 billion in damage.
The nation would respond, celebrities such as our own Beyoncé came home, and hip-hop legend Bun B spearheaded a star-studded relief concert. Houston Texans icon J.J. Watt raised more than more than $37 million to rebuid some 1,100 homes. A hashtag emerged: #HoustonStrong.
Strong, indeed. Here, we look back at CultureMap's photos from readers and news partner ABC13 that captured our triumph over tragedy. (Specal thanks to former CultureMap staffers Marcy de Luna and Clifford Pugh for their efforts during the worst days.)

WILLIAMSPORT-A Lycoming County teenager accused of firing multiple shots at six other male teens in vehicles has been jailed without bail as an adult on attempted homicide and related counts.
Mandon Jacob Watts, 18, of the Montoursville area, was arrested Thursday on charges stemming from an Aug. 7 incident that state police said was initiated by an exchange of social media messages.
The arrest affidavit gives this account of what allegedly transpired after Watts seeing a photograph of one of the other teens sent him a Snapchat message stating he looked small:
Police said that in an exchange of messages on Aug. 7 Watts suggested the other teen meet him to fight in Resurrection Cemetery east of Montoursville.
Just before 5 p.m. three teens arrived in one vehicle and three others in a second. The second vehicle remained at the entrance to the cemetery, they said.
The teens in the first vehicle observed someone point a black handgun with a laser at them so they drove out of the cemetery.
In Snapchat messages over the next hour Watts stated the weapon was an airsoft weapon. The other teen believed him and decided to return to the cemetery for a fight, according to police.
They said this time four teens were in the first vehicle and two in the second. An individual believed to be Watts arrived on an ATV and waived the two vehicles into the cemetery.
The teens lost sight of the ATV so they stopped. The ATV reappeared, the operator displayed a handgun and fired five times at the two vehicles. One of the vehicles was hit twice.
As the vehicles were leaving the cemetery, the teens observed the ATV approach them from the rear but it continued across Lycoming Mall Road.
Five .22-caliber casings were found in the area where the shooting occurred and ATV tracks led them to the residence on Confair Parkway where Watts and a female live, investigators said.
The said that during questioning Watts appeared to be nervous, began to stutter and look down, they said. It was confirmed Watts and the woman had gone to an indoor shooting range on Aug. 6, they said.
Clothing similar to what the shooter was wearing and an ATV that matched the description of the one in the cemetery were found when a search warrant was executed at the house, they said.
Results of another search warrant linked Watts to the Snapchat messages, they said.
He is charged with five counts each of attempted homicide, aggravated and simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.
He also is charged with one count each of propelling a missile into occupied vehicles, criminal mischief, firearms not to be carried without a license, possession of an instrument of crime, criminal use of a communication facility and possession of a concealed weapon with intent to deploy.
The ages of the six teenagers listed as victims were 16, 17 and 18.
It does not appear this incident is related to the youth gang violence in neighboring Williamsport, District Attorney Ryan C. Gardner said. | https://www.pennlive.com/crime/2022/08/pa-teen-accused-of-firing-multiple-rounds-into-two-vehicles-containing-six-other-teenagers.html | 2022-08-26T02:37:00Z | https://www.pennlive.com/crime/2022/08/pa-teen-accused-of-firing-multiple-rounds-into-two-vehicles-containing-six-other-teenagers.html | true | 1 |

TEXAS, USA — Texas' trigger law went into effect Thursday, banning nearly all abortions across the state.
It's one of 11 states banning nearly all abortions.
One research group shows New Mexico is the nearest state offering protection for those seeking an abortion.
That state’s nearest clinic to Houston is in Santa Teresa, which is more than 700 miles away. It’s closer to the Pacific Ocean than the Bayou City.
Many women, though, are taking this option because it's the only option they have.
“You’re talking about multiple days to them, make the trek, get the procedure, and come back. And that is only again for the patients who are able to navigate that situation and the resources that it takes to do that," said Dyana Limon-Mercado, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Texas Votes.
Houston-area doctors say they’re limited to performing ultrasounds, giving information and referring women looking for an abortion out of state.
RELATED: 'It is ridiculous. It's a lot.' | Texas women describe traveling to New Mexico for abortions
Texas' trigger law makes performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to life in prison.
Prescribing medication knowing it will be used for an abortion carries the same penalty.
"In this trigger ban, there is no exception for rape or for incest, no matter how young the victim is," said Limon-Mercado.
But the new law allows exceptions for saving the mother’s life, ending an entopic pregnancy, or removing a miscarried fetus.
Abortion providers can still face civil penalties from Senate Bill 8, which was passed last year.
The “Heartbeat Bill”, as it’s known, bans abortions after fetal cardiac activity. That’s usually around six weeks of pregnancy.
"You might be able to be sued multiple times all over Texas at $10,000 a pop, plus you’re gonna lose your license," said Seth Chandler, law professor at University of Houston Law Center.
One legal expert said the Texas trigger law is written so that if a pregnant woman were to get an illegal abortion in Texas, she would not be penalized. | https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/texas/new-mexico-abortion/285-81e9dca8-bce9-4b54-83f3-8260637d107c | 2022-08-26T02:42:47Z | https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/texas/new-mexico-abortion/285-81e9dca8-bce9-4b54-83f3-8260637d107c | true | 3 |
Do Realtors In Illinois Have To Disclose If A House Is Actually Haunted?
In 2008, I almost bought my first home, I was literally days away from crossing the T's, dotting the I's, and signing my life away, then the market crashed and recession hit. I remember one thing specifically about the house in Rockford, Illinois, I remember seeing a really old wedding dress hanging in the attic. It gave me the chills then and it still gives me the chills today. My gut tells me that the home was haunted and I made a good decision by backing out.
I never did get clarification if the realtor knew of the house being haunted.
Actual Haunted Houses In Illinois
There are plenty of actual haunted houses in Illinois, and I'm not referring to "Boo! Scared ya!" attractions. I'm talking about houses with reported/documented paranormal activity. One of the most reportedly haunted homes in Illinois is located in Belvidere.
Toni Vanderheyden, a well-known realtor in Illinois, shared a story about a home that was so haunted it drew concern from one of her buyer's agents. The agent told Toni she didn't believe in such things but that contractors working in the house witnessed some strange activity.
Workers in the home said they heard doors slamming and banging while they were in the attic and there was no logical reason for this noise. That's not all.
The buyer's agent and a contractor heard ringing coming from an old rotary phone. The phone was not connected to anything but the wall. The contractor picked up the phone and what he heard was eerie as can be. Toni explained what he heard.

Friendly or not, a haunted home is not a place for me or my family. The question is...
Do realtors in Illinois have to disclose if a house is haunted?
By law, in Illinois, there are a few circumstances that must be disclosed to potential buyers:
- Unsafe Conditions
- Environmental Healthfulness

Three more Republican-led states banned almost all abortions this week as yet another slate of laws severely limiting the procedure took effect following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
To date, 13 states have passed so-called trigger laws that were designed to outlaw most abortions if the high court threw out the constitutional right to end a pregnancy. The majority of those states began enforcing their bans soon after the June 24 decision, but Idaho, Tennessee and Texas had to wait 30 days beyond when the justices formally entered the judgment, which happened several weeks after the ruling was announced.
That deadline was up Thursday. A fourth state, North Dakota, had its trigger ban blocked Thursday by a judge who is weighing an abortion clinic's legal challenge on grounds that it violates the state constitution.
The change will not be dramatic. All of these states except North Dakota already had anti-abortion laws in place that largely blocked patients from accessing the procedure. And the majority of the clinics that provided abortions in those areas have either stopped offering those services or moved to other states where abortion remains legal.
Abortion Rights Coverage:
Texas, the country's second-largest state, has banned most abortions once fetal cardiac activity has been detected, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy, before many women know they’re pregnant. The ban has been in place for almost a year, since courts refused to stop the law last September.
While clinics were severely limited in the services they could provide during that time, they officially stopped offering abortions on the day of the Supreme Court ruling. Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton argued that state laws that banned abortion before Roe v. Wade could be enforced ahead of the implementation of the trigger law.
Much like Texas' current abortion ban, the trigger law does not include exceptions for rape or incest. Instead it has a loophole if a woman’s life or health is in danger.
The political response to the change was swift: Democrat Beto O’Rourke chose Thursday to unveil the first TV ads in his campaign against Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who signed off on the statute.
One of the ads includes a voice-over saying some women will die because of the law.
“From this day forward,” the ad begins, “women all across Texas are no longer free to make decisions about our own body.”
Meanwhile, Texas has challenged a legal interpretation put forth by the federal government that was aimed at requiring Texas hospitals to provide abortion services if the life of the mother is at risk. On Wednesday, a federal judge temporarily blocked the government from enforcing that interpretation.
Texas argued that the federal guidance would have required hospitals to provide abortions before the mother’s life is clearly at risk, which would have violated the state’s trigger law.
A similar situation played out in Idaho, but there a federal judge ruled Wednesday that the state’s abortion ban violated federal law.
U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill said the state could not enforce its abortion ban in cases where pregnant patients were experiencing a medical emergency that seriously threatened their lives or health. Idaho's abortion ban makes all abortions felonies, but allows physicians to defend themselves in court by arguing that the procedure was necessary to save the life of the mother or done in cases of rape or incest.
Over in Tennessee, just two of the six clinics that provide abortions continued to offer the service after Roe was overturned. They did so even as Tennessee enacted a “heartbeat law" similar to the one passed in Texas. Under both the new trigger law and the previous heartbeat law, doctors who violate the law risk felony convictions and up to 15 years in prison.
Operating after the high court's abortion ruling has been at times a “painful” experience, said Melissa Grant, chief operations officer of carafem, which has had a Nashville clinic since 2019. The legal environment has required difficult conversations between staffers and patients who may be unaware how early in pregnancy cardiac activity can be detected.
Because Tennessee requires patients to wait 48 hours before getting an abortion, Grant says her staff has seen some patients qualify for the procedure during an initial visit only to be turned away two days later because an ultrasound picked up fetal cardiac activity.
“When we find that we do ultimately have to turn somebody away, whether it’s the first visit, the second visit, the conversations can be very emotional — primarily anger, fear, grief, sometimes disbelief,” she said.
The situation is similar in Memphis, where abortion providers at the region's lone operating clinic say they turned away nearly 100 patients who did not qualify for an abortion during their second visit, said Jennifer Pepper, chief executive officer of CHOICES: Memphis Center for Reproductive Health.
That stress compounded in the days leading up to the trigger law deadline. As the last appointments took place, the staff had to weigh each patient's situation against the likelihood that they would qualify under Tennessee's already sharp restrictions and their ability to travel out of state.
CHOICES was the first abortion clinic to open in Memphis in 1974, and on Thursday it will become the last. The clinic is bracing for the change by increasing its midwife resources, expanding the birth center and offering gender-affirming care. It is also opening a second location in Carbondale, Illinois, a three-hour drive to the north.
The staff planned to gather Friday to “celebrate how we’ve served thousands of our patients. We’re starting a new chapter, but it is not our last chapter,” Pepper said.
In Idaho, the federal government argued that Medicaid-funded hospitals must provide “stabilizing treatment” to patients experiencing medical emergencies despite its trigger law.
Much of Idaho’s law went into effect Thursday, but due to the federal judge's ruling Wednesday, the state cannot prosecute anyone who is performing an abortion in a medical emergency.
Most abortions in Idaho were effectively banned on Aug. 12, when the Idaho Supreme Court allowed a different law to go into effect allowing potential relatives of an embryo or fetus to sue abortion providers.
In North Dakota, lawyers for the state's only abortion clinic, which recently moved a few miles to Minnesota, won a delay Thursday as they pursue a lawsuit challenging the ban. Burleigh County District Judge Bruce Romanick said he was not ruling on the probability of the clinic winning the lawsuit, rather that more time is needed to make a proper judgment. | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/politics/three-more-gop-led-states-enact-abortion-trigger-laws-after-roe-v-wade-overturned/3142426/ | 2022-08-26T02:46:55Z | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/politics/three-more-gop-led-states-enact-abortion-trigger-laws-after-roe-v-wade-overturned/3142426/ | true | 27 |
Nigel Owens gives Frank Sinatra classic 'My Way' a rugby twist
Colourful referee Nigel Owens has delivered a stirring rendition of the Frank Sinatra classic “My Way”, giving it a rugby twist.
The Welsh are famous for their singing and Owen’s proved he has a good voice with this TMO-inspired rendition.
The refereeing centurion was signing off his final appearance on Radio 5’s Real Life TMO when he burst into song. Here are his clever lyrics.
“And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain,
Each week, on TMO, you state your case, I put the ref shirt on,
I ruled on your disputes, lay down the law but in a kind way,
And I made sure, that in the end, you did it my way,
Yes there were times, I’m sure you could tell,
When your disputes, were pointless hell,
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I heard it all and figured it out,
Let the record show, I’m the TMO and you did it my way
Yes you did it Nigey’s way.
Owens’ effort had his hosts Chris Stark and Scott Mills gushing over his singing performance and they were quick to post it on social media where it has become an instant hit.
“It truly was an honour and privilege to be a small part of your wonderful show
Chris Stark and Scott Mills,” Owens said in reply.
“Thank you so much for having me and the very best for the future my friends. #RealLifeTMO.”
The 51-year-old Owens recently won a fan vote to be named the sport’s greatest referee.
Owens retired at the end of 2020 after a 17-year career. He nominated the 2013 test between the All Blacks and South Africa at Ellis Park in 2013 as the greatest test he refereed. The All Blacks won 38-27, scoring five tries to four. | https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/international/129642706/nigel-owens-gives-frank-sinatra-classic-my-way-a-rugby-twist | 2022-08-26T02:54:55Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/international/129642706/nigel-owens-gives-frank-sinatra-classic-my-way-a-rugby-twist | true | 1 |
We are in the middle of a solar cycle, and we’ve been here before. That’s not to say a solar cycle is exactly the same every time—some cycles are far more active than others, and sometimes the Sun skips a cycle completely. But the overall pattern remains the same and repeats every 11 years, even if the details vary slightly each time.
The current solar cycle, number 25, started in 2019, which means that the Sun has been slowly ramping up its sunspot and flare activity for the past few years. Solar maximum, when the Sun’s magnetic polarity flips and it’s expected to be the most active, is anticipated to happen sometime between 2023 and 2026.
“As we are heading towards the solar maximum, we expect many more active regions to appear,” said Kiran Jain, a solar physicist at the National Solar Observatory in Boulder, Colo. Initial forecasts of cycle 25 predicted that it would produce activity levels similar to those of the previous cycle, which were slightly below average, but “the current cycle has been more active so far” than during the same phase of cycle 24.
Scientists hope that cycle 25 will continue to provide more excitement than did cycle 24—they want to see spots and flares of all sizes and intensities and many coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that traverse interplanetary space to interact with planets’ magnetic fields. But whether that trend persists or the maximum of cycle 25 is the same as any other, solar scientists will assuredly learn far more than they did 11 years ago. Since the previous solar maximum, there have been major advances in solar-observing technology, solar and planetary magnetic theory, and computational power.
Here are 11 discoveries scientists hope to make during the upcoming solar maximum that weren’t possible during the previous one.
1. Sunspots, Eruptions, and Flares
The 11-year solar cycle is also known as the sunspot cycle because active regions on the Sun’s surface often manifest sunspots. Astronomers have been tracking sunspots for centuries. “As crude a measurement as it is for quantifying solar activity, sunspot number is nevertheless the thing I most readily keep an eye on,” said Mathew Owens, a space physicist at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom. “We have more than 400 years of nearly continual sunspot observations, so it’s invaluable for putting the current conditions on the Sun in a long-term context.” Given the decidedly average forecast for cycle 25, “we aren’t necessarily expecting extreme space weather. But the Sun can always surprise us.”
In fact, University of California, Berkeley space scientist Janet Luhmann noted that despite cycle 24’s lackluster sunspot performance, “one of the most extreme events ever observed with modern instruments occurred in July of 2012. The truth is that the really extreme storms do not care if the sunspot number maximum is weak.”
What solar maximum ideally will do is produce flares at a wide range of intensities, especially those at the highest intensities, to help scientists develop more accurate models of flare generation. “We want to understand how flaring activity depends on solar cycle,” said Monica Bobra, a solar scientist at Stanford University in California. “In the last decade, we’ve only observed about 40 large, or X-class, flares.” Low-intensity flares are far more common even in weak solar cycles and at solar minimum, “so even though we’re taking so much data, in some ways we’re data starved because we have a really imbalanced data set,” she said.
2. The Sun’s Structural Secrets
Unlike the 400-year history of sunspot monitoring, this will be only the third solar maximum for which we have continuous helioseismic coverage, said Sarbani Basu, an astronomer at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. The study of helioseismology looks at the propagation of pressure waves as they travel through the Sun, much like the study of seismology considers seismic waves as they travel through Earth. Helioseismology can measure details of the internal structure of the Sun, which has a core, a radiation-dominated middle layer, and a convection-dominated outer later.
“There are very tentative indications of changes in the structure in the deep solar interior associated with the solar cycle,” explained Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard, who studies solar structure and evolution at Aarhus University in Denmark. “The understanding of the physical reasons for these relations is still very incomplete, and the new data [collected during maximum] will undoubtedly be very useful in this regard.”
“We barely have a 40-year history of good helioseismic data,” Basu said. “Good coverage of the entire solar cycle is essential. Having said that, the maximum does act as the demarcation of the two parts of the solar cycle and hence a change in behavior. That is what excites me most about the upcoming maximum.” Helioseismic data could track those changes.
Solar physicists can also use helioseismology to investigate how the Sun’s magnetic field affects the seismology of sunspots and active regions during solar maximum, Jain said. She is particularly interested in “the subsurface properties that can reliably predict the emergence of active regions in the farside hemisphere as well as the nearside hemisphere.” Can helioseismology detect the rise of magnetic structures on the Sun’s farside before they manifest on the solar surface? Jain wants to find out.
3. Movement Beneath the Surface
Helioseismology can also reveal how the different layers of the Sun rotate. “With helioseismology we have found bands of slightly slower and faster rotation in the outer parts of the Sun—the so-called convection zone—that are clearly related observationally to the solar surface activity,” said Christensen-Dalsgaard. “In fact, the first signs of a new solar cycle typically appear in this rotation pattern, overlapping with the end of the previous cycle.”
Deeper within the Sun, a region known as the tachocline separates the radiative zone from the convective zone, which rotate at different speeds.
“I will be monitoring the internal dynamics, particularly the changes in the so-called tachocline where solar internal rotation changes from being differential in latitude (i.e., each latitude rotating at a different rate) to a solid body–like rotation,” Basu explained. “Unlike some other solar features, the changes in the tachocline do not follow the [11-year] sunspot cycle. The question: Do the changes follow the 22-year magnetic cycle instead? Helioseismic data collected from now until the next solar maximum will be able to answer that question.”
4. Many “Eyes” Staring at the Sun
Solar scientists now have a fleet of spacecraft flying around the inner solar system. NASA’s Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), and Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) have been the workhorses of space-based solar observing for more than a decade and have built an extensive catalog of solar observations. Two newer solar spacecraft, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter (SO), are designed to explore two never-before-seen regions of the Sun.
“Solar Orbiter is still at an early stage but will provide first direct views of the solar poles,” Jain said. “As we have learnt from the polar observations of other planets, we may discover something unusual at the solar poles which has not been observed yet.”
“With every new addition to our robotic and ground-based ‘observers’ of solar and space environment conditions—including those sited in regions not previously visited like Parker Solar Probe—we improve our knowledge of the connections between the Sun’s behavior and its surrounding space environments,” said Luhmann. PSP is exploring the mysterious solar corona.
Other spacecraft, like BepiColombo, a joint mission between Europe and Japan, are on their way elsewhere but have advanced magnetometers that can make critical solar measurements.
Xiaojun Xu, a solar physicist at Macau University of Science and Technology in China, said, “More and more satellites placed or to be placed to many locations with different heliocentric distances, especially the PSP and Solar Orbiter, in the past and the future are the biggest innovation for studying the Sun and the solar wind as well as planets.”
“While the quiet phase of the solar cycle provides the opportunity to establish the physics of baseline conditions,” Luhmann said, “the active Sun produces the space weather ‘storms’ that greatly enhance the types and amounts of energy transferred to the planets and their atmospheres. Thus, each new solar maximum is in effect experienced with ‘new eyes.’”
5. Peering Inside a CME
Active regions on the Sun’s surface “are the major driver of space weather,” Jain said. “Eruptive phenomena, such as flares and coronal mass ejections, may create conditions that can affect humans and technology in many ways, and some may lead to catastrophic effects. Thus, it is important to understand their origin, the complex physical processes lying below and above the Sun’s surface, and the interactions between the Sun and Earth.” Active regions, and therefore CMEs, will be more common during the upcoming solar maximum.
Christian Möstl, a solar scientist at Graz University of Technology in Austria, and his team are trying to “better understand and model the magnetic structure of CMEs, which should then give us a better chance to forecast their Earth impacts.” The combination of solar maximum and new missions is “an absolutely glorious setup for making new discoveries and increasing the accuracy and lead time of space weather forecasts.”
Möstl said that seeing a CME event first in solar images and then in a spacecraft’s magnetic field and plasma detectors will help scientists better connect the physical shape of a CME to its magnetic structure, which in turn will help space weather forecasters down on Earth. “We wait and hope that a CME travels towards these radially aligned spacecraft at those times, which is just pure chance, of course.” Solar maximum increases the chance that a well-equipped spacecraft will pass through a CME. “The new goal is to say, ‘This CME has this type of morphology, so the magnetic structure is going to be like this.’”
6. CMEs on the Move
With more CMEs on the way and more spacecraft flying around to detect them, it’s possible that a single CME event will intersect multiple spacecraft in multiple locations in the solar system.
This type of multipoint observation of a CME has happened a few times since the launch of Solar Orbiter, Möstl said. Two CMEs impacted Solar Orbiter, BepiColombo, and Earth, and [since then] there have been a few more. There should be a lot more events like this as we go into solar maximum, all helping us to understand how the CME magnetic field evolves from Sun to Earth.”
A chance alignment between a CME and multiple spacecraft would be rare, but it’s also possible that a single spacecraft might cross the same CME twice. For example, as Parker Solar Probe continues its slow spiral inward toward the Sun, it might cross the magnetic core of a CME in two locations on its journey (see video below). Traveling in and out of a CME twice could help scientists understand how a CME’s magnetic field evolves as it travels through the solar system.
How about multiple CMEs crossing each other? Far from impossible. “During solar maximum, CMEs interact with other CMEs much more often, just because there are more eruptions,” explained Möstl. “This can lead to slipstream effects, so that a following CME is actually traveling faster than if it would propagate on its own, leading to different Earth arrival times, like sports cars when overtaking one another. When CMEs run into each other, they can coalesce and merge, which again alters their magnetic structure, affecting the magnetic storm level when they impact Earth.”
7. From Space Weather to Space Climate
When solar storms and CMEs arrive at Earth, they can precipitate space weather and other geomagnetic activity. “Severe space weather will occur more frequently, and we’ll get to investigate it with a new fleet of spacecraft and instruments,” said Owens. Moreover, “the coming solar cycle adds to only five previous that we’ve measured directly with spacecraft. Thus, there’s a great deal of opportunity for learning how long-term changes in solar activity—space climate—varies and controls more rapid space weather.”
“Our capabilities in terms of spaceborne observations have increased rapidly within the last 10 years,” said Erdal Yiğit, a planetary scientist at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. “Besides many others, NASA’s GOLD and ICON satellites can be mentioned as promising tools that will aid our understanding of space weather effects on Earth.” GOLD, or Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk, and ICON, or Ionospheric Connection Explorer, investigate Earth’s thermosphere and ionosphere response to Earth-Sun interactions.
In her work, Bobra seeks to predict space weather “by analyzing millions of images of the Sun with machine learning algorithms. And I’m excited to continue doing that!” she said. She’s interested in collecting space weather observations that span a solar cycle or more to help train those algorithms. “At some point you reach a threshold with the data you already have. But augmenting our current data sets with new, consistent, continuous measurements from a constellation of satellites, all taking data over a long period of time, will greatly increase our capacity to predict space weather.”
8. Mapping Our Magnetosphere
Earth’s magnetic field, which is generated by our spinning iron-nickel core, can be roughly described as a dipole magnet. But in reality, the shape and structure of the magnetic field are more complex. Upstream, or facing the solar wind head-on, the magnetic field lines are compressed as they battle the magnetically charged solar wind plasma. The field downstream is elongated and trails behind the planet like a tadpole’s tail.
During the upcoming increase in solar storms and CMEs, “we will have several upstream spacecraft with both solar imaging and in situ solar wind plasma and magnetic field detection capability,” said Luhmann. “The latter will provide a better idea than ever before of how uniform (or not) the local space environment conditions are in the vicinity of Earth.”
Solar maximum brings not just an influx of high-intensity solar storms but also a reversal of the Sun’s large-scale magnetic polarity—magnetic north flips to magnetic south. “We are investigating the performance of the interplanetary magnetic fields near Earth during the reversal of the Sun’s magnetic field, which only takes place near solar maximum,” said Xu. “We believe some clues can be found near Earth. If there are many CMEs or flares in the next years, we can conduct more studies about the response of planets to such solar storms.”
9. Push for “Sun to Mud” Predictions
Solar storms and their resultant space weather can have significant impacts on our technology, from GPS satellites in orbit to power grids on the ground. There is a big scientific and political push to develop faster and more accurate predictions of inclement space weather so that these negative impacts can be anticipated and mitigated. Because the previous solar cycle was not very active and didn’t provide a lot of new data on extreme events to work with, there has been more focus recently on developing machine learning– and artificial intelligence (AI)-based models to improve our forecasting capabilities.
“But even with all of the physics-based model developments over the last decade,” Luhmann said, “we are still not making routine ‘Sun-to-mud’ space weather models—either in retrospective or forecast mode—of even more moderate events,” let alone the extreme events that will be more common during solar maximum. “However, we are getting closer.”
“I personally think that a combination of very fast physical models with machine learning methods is the best avenue to make progress in space weather forecasting,” said Möstl. “This is because it’s hard to make progress for an AI alone when it does not know the physics of a system.” During this solar maximum, scientists are anticipating a trove of data on solar activity at a wide range of intensities to help train those models and improve their speed and accuracy.
At the British Geological Survey (BGS), “we monitor the Sun closely for coronal mass ejections and the solar wind using SDO,” said Ciaran Beggan, a geophysicist at BGS in Edinburgh who works to improve their real-time space weather forecasting. SDO orbits “at the L1 Lagrange point, where DSCOVR and ACE provide real-time values of the solar wind speed, density, magnetic strength, and orientation.” BGS supplements those data with measurements from their ground-based magnetic observatory network to make real-time predictions of geomagnetically induced currents that can knock out power grids.
10. Much Ado About Planets
CMEs that miss Earth entirely continue to travel through the solar system and can affect planets farther away from the Sun. In the past, scientists have observed how solar storms can trigger ionospheric activity like aurorae on Jupiter and Saturn. “Heliophysics has been moving into an era in which space weather is of interest throughout the solar system,” Luhmann said. Planetary scientists are excited to see how the more regular and regularly more intense solar activity will influence Mars’s magnetic field and atmosphere.
“The occurrence of any CME would attract our attention” said Xu, whose research group studies how the solar wind interacts with planets and moons. “We want to study the interplanetary coronal mass ejections continuously using multiple spacecraft from near the Sun to Earth and to Jupiter.”
Although Mars and Earth are both rocky planets with liquid metallic cores, Mars no longer actively generates its magnetic field. A weak remnant of it remains embedded in Mars’s crust, but if Earth’s magnetic field is like a protective blanket shielding us from harmful radiation, Mars’s magnetic field is more like a wet tissue. “Especially for Mars, using the measurements jointly from MAVEN and Tianwen-1, better understandings about Mars’ climate change are expected,” Xu said. MAVEN, or Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, is a NASA mission that has been monitoring Mars for 8 years, and Tianwen-1 is China’s first Mars mission, which arrived at the Red Planet in February 2021.
“On Mars, the MAVEN mission has already been performing measurements in the ascending phase of the solar cycle,” Yiit said, which can now be compared with its past observations during solar minimum and provide data across a full solar cycle. “There are a number of space weather models that have been continuously developed over [that] time, which are powerful tools to study how the atmosphere and ionosphere change on Earth and Mars due to space weather effects.”
Christensen-Dalsgaard’s research group “is also active in exoplanet research and hence very interested in how stellar magnetic activity may affect the habitability of exoplanets,” he said, for example, how it affects planetary atmospheres. How the magnetospheres of Earth and Mars respond to solar events of different intensities might also help astronomers understand how extrasolar planets might survive the stellar winds of their own host stars, many of which are far more active than our Sun.
11. The Sun’s Impacts on the Ground
Technologies that observe the Sun aren’t the only tools that have evolved since the last solar maximum. “For example, how reliant are some systems like self-driving vehicles or trains on GPS, and what happens if its accuracy is affected?” asked Beggan. The upcoming increase in intense solar-induced geomagnetic activity might put these new technologies to the test. “These types of issues can be engineered out, of course, but knowing they are there in the first place is important and is often revealed when they are assumed to be reliable but then fail unexpectedly.”
Beggan also raised the issue of how power grids, both old and new, will respond to the increase in intense storms. At the British Geological Survey, “we have built a number of new models of the U.K.’s high-voltage power grid and the high-pressure pipeline network to understand the impact of geomagnetically induced currents on transformers and pipeline corrosion during large geomagnetic storms,” he said. “These can really only be tested and further refined during big geomagnetic storms.… During solar minimum there were only a few big storms to play with. A few [more] large storms would be a good test of the models to see how well our simulations match what happens in reality.”
Pushing Past the Solar Peak
This solar maximum will also highlight what tools we don’t have yet and need to develop before the next solar maximum. For example, Bobra said, eventually we will want to launch a constellation of satellites that gives us continuous 360° monitoring of the Sun’s surface. “Large solar flares are rare already, and we’re missing half of them because we can’t see the farside of the Sun,” she said. This will also help scientists test their models of solar activity on the Sun’s farside.
Over the past decade, machine learning and artificial intelligence have been moving us toward real-time predictions of space weather and geomagnetic activity. “New tools coming from machine learning research may allow us to push that a step further,” Beggan said, “and to use the data…to make predictions on the ground 30–45 minutes ahead of time, which would be a great step forward.”
But to truly test and train those predictive models, scientists need data, and those data come from solar storms. “Tying all these new models and tools together,” Beggan continued, “particularly if they can be trained and tested on some big events with modern instrumentation and measurements, would bring the goal of an accurate, automated, real-time forecasting and prediction system into reach.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California man who smuggled more than 1,700 wild animals into the United States, including 60 reptiles hidden in his clothing, pleaded guilty Wednesday to federal charges.
Jose Manuel Perez, 30, of Oxnard, entered pleas to two counts of smuggling and a charge of wildlife trafficking.
Prosecutors said that from 2016 to this February, Perez and his accomplices used social media to arrange to smuggle animals from Mexico and Hong Kong. Most were reptiles and included Yucatan box turtles, Mexican box turtles, baby crocodiles and Mexican beaded lizards, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice.
It is illegal to import the animals without permits under an international treaty on the trade of endangered species, the DOJ said.
Perez paid accomplices a crossing fee to drive animals from Mexico to El Paso, Texas, where he had them shipped to his family’s Ventura County home and resold them to customers throughout the U.S., authorities said.
He also made some three dozen trips to Mexico himself to pick up animals, and on Feb. 25 he was arrested while trying to enter the U.S. with 60 reptiles hidden in bags of his clothing, prosecutors said. Three of the reptiles died.

The 2023 Old Farmer’s Almanac is telling “A Tale of Two Winters.” On sale everywhere August 30, the newest edition of North America’s most trusted Almanac predicts that this winter will split the country in two.
“Depending on where you live, this will be the best of winters or memorable for all the wrong reasons,” reports Janice Stillman, editor of The Old Farmer’s Almanac. “One half of the country will deal with bone-chilling cold and loads of snow, while the other half may feel like winter never really arrives.” For 231 years, The Old Farmer’s Almanac has been helping readers to prepare for the season ahead with its 80 percent–accurate weather forecasts.
For most of the western half of the United States, The 2023 Old Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a coming winter that’s “Wet & Mild”—one with lots of (mostly) rain and temperatures that trend upward by as much as several degrees above normal. This is in stark contrast to what’s coming for the rest of the country.
Winter for much of the Midwest and along the East Coast is best described as “Shivery & Snowy.” The eastern half of the U.S. should brace for potentially record-breaking cold to define the season. This frigid forecast extends to the Deep South and Texas, which could see the mercury diving as much as 8 degrees F below normal!
Freezing temperatures will also bring above-average snow totals to most areas in the eastern U.S. that typically experience snowfall.
In addition to its much-anticipated weather forecasts, The Old Farmer’s Almanac is known for being “useful, with a pleasant degree of humor.” Highlights from the 2023 Almanac include . . .
- Dispatches from family farms: stories from a diverse group of independent farmers taking big risks that pay off personally, in their communities, and for the environment.
- Gardening tips for perfect perennials and chiles for every palate. Also, gardening trends for the coming year (a sneak peek: 54% of young adults would rather go to a garden center than a night club).
- Festive food: delicious dishes (and family traditions) from a Ukrainian Christmas and sweet and savory winners from the Almanac’s banana recipe contest.
- Practical life advice: a straightforward method for organizing keepsakes and sometimes surprising home remedies to handle hay fever.
- Stories as only The Old Farmer’s Almanac can tell: a legendary timekeeper; an ancient grain that’s not just for the birds; a step-by-step guide to hatching chickens; and much, much more!
The 2023 Old Farmer’s Almanac is available for just $7.99 wherever books and magazines are sold. Support local booksellers whenever possible! A full list of stores that carry The Old Farmer’s Almanac is available at Almanac.com/Wheretobuy. Print and digital copies of The 2023 Old Farmer’s Almanac are also available online at Almanac.com/Shop and on Amazon.com. | https://thunder1320.com/farmers-almanac-calling-for-cold-and-snowy-winter-in-tennessee/ | 2022-08-26T03:29:31Z | https://thunder1320.com/farmers-almanac-calling-for-cold-and-snowy-winter-in-tennessee/ | false | 1 |
2022 Athena Award Announced
Award Presented Annually to Person Demonstrating Outstanding Commitment to their Profession, their Community and the Advancement of Women
The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry and its Council for Working Women announced on Thursday that Caroline Portlock is the 2022 recipient of The ATHENA Award. Caroline becomes the 35th award recipient, and will be honored at a luncheon on Wednesday, September 21, 11:30 a.m., at the Jacob Henry Mansion Estate’s Victorian Ballroom.
The ATHENA Award Program was developed in 1982 to honor exceptional female or male leaders who demonstrate the highest levels of professional excellence, contribute time and energy to improve the quality of life for others in the community, and actively assist others, particularly women, in realizing their full leadership potential.
Caroline Portlock has seen the evolution of women’s work roles dramatically transform during her twenty-four-year career in business services. Many women have paved the way for not only her, but others gaining a seat at the table and because of those leaders, she continually works to pay it forward. Portlock has had the good fortune to work alongside numerous extremely talented women and continues to enjoy collaboration amongst her peers, recruiting women into the workforce, and ultimately mentoring and counseling those that are searching to be lifted up and realize personal and professional goals.
Caroline currently serves as the Director of the Workforce Investment Board of Will County. Her experience includes Director of Workforce Development at Joliet Junior College, President and CEO of the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Human, Community and Public Relations at Harrah’s Casino. In addition, she carries an MBA from the University of St. Francis and an Institute for Organization Management (IOM) designation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Understanding business requirements and connecting women with the resources needed to succeed is something she knows well and thoroughly enjoys. Portlock uses the same philosophy when supporting other women in the community; she exemplifies what it means to have an informal network support. Caroline comments,
“We (women) typically know what we need to do but sometimes struggle with finding the resources or are not in a place to access said resources. Having an informal network of people who support you is so important. Knowing someone will tap into their network to help you overcome a challenge or reach a goal is something we all should be willing to do.”
She knows that for women, often the hardest part of overcoming an obstacle is reaching out and asking for help. Therefore, Caroline acts as a mentor and support system herself, and advocates for tapping into one’s own network to help others defeat a challenge or reach a goal.
Throughout her career, Caroline has been actively involved in Will and Grundy Counties thanks to many mentors and role models that instilled a deep sense of service in her. With a commitment to the community like Caroline’s, she displays a long list of accolades including serving as Vice-Chair of the Illinois Workforce Partnership, chartering the Grundy Will HR Association, chairing the Grundy Will HR Association HR Summit and serving as Lieutenant Governor for Kiwanis Division 23. Portlock is also a Kiwanis past Distinguished President (the 3rd to hold that office in the Club’s 103-year history) and past Treasurer. She is past President of the University of St. Francis Alumni Board and long-time volunteer for Will County Habitat for Humanity and their Women Build initiative.
Caroline’s additional awards, recognitions, community, and chamber involvements include:
- Keynote Speaker – Shaw Media’s Women of Distinction 2014 & 2016
- 2019 Distinguished Alumni Award – University of St. Francis
- Kiwanis Club of Joliet
- Special events volunteer – Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry
Please join the members of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry to honor Caroline Portlock on Wednesday, September 21 from 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the Jacob Henry Mansion’s Victorian Ballroom as we celebrate her many accomplishments and recognize the path that Caroline has lighted for many to follow.

DETROIT – As we enter the final weekends of summer, Michigan Mayor Mike Duggan is now approving double-time pay for Detroit police officers to ensure the department has enough officers on the street to curb gun violence.
Those enhanced overtime rates start Friday, and while they’ll only last a month, it adds about 300 additional officers on the last few weekends of the summer, which is something Detroit Police Chief James White says the city needs.
“The work on the ground is what we need,” said White. “We need cars that respond to runs.”
White loves to say he’s got some of the hardest working police officers in the country.
“It’s important that we incentivize the work a little bit,” White said. “Double time they deserve that and even more.”
Double time also means you’ll see more police at parks, festivals, sporting events, and more.
“Our parks are packed,” White said. “You look at all the parks in the neighborhood every day they are packed, and they need to be policed, and that’s important for us. We know that we are going to have a surge these next couple of weekends, people getting their end-of-the-summer parties in, and we want to make sure we have that coverage.”
But what does that mean to people enjoying those parks?
“Just more police presence, you feel safer,” said one woman.
“More visibility overall is great for the community and the parks or what have you, and it keeps trouble down because if some type of problem arises, they’ll say, ‘y’all the cops are over there’ they’re going to keep it down,” said another woman.
The overtime will also include more officers working on specific details like drag racing, and drug raids.
White knows this isn’t a long-term solution. He says they are continuing to hire more officers. | https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2022/08/26/detroit-police-department-increases-overtime-pay-to-help-deter-gun-violence-as-summer-comes-to-a-close/ | 2022-08-26T03:34:21Z | https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2022/08/26/detroit-police-department-increases-overtime-pay-to-help-deter-gun-violence-as-summer-comes-to-a-close/ | true | 1 |
The late "Star Trek" actress Nichelle Nichols will have her ashes rocketed into outer space aboard the United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket.
The trailblazing actress died on July 31 at the age of 89.
Her son announced news of her death on Instagram, saying she died from natural causes.
The United Launch Alliance rocket will launch later this year, Fox News reported.
Her remains will reportedly join those of the late creator of "Star Trek," Gene Roddenberry, who passed away in 1991.
Nichols played Uhura in "Star Trek: The Original Series." She was one of the first African American women to play a major role in a television series.
"Hers was a life well lived and as such a model for us all," her son said.
Nichols' acting career spanned decades. She is listed in credits from the 1960s to 2021, and some films are still in pre-production, IMBD reports. | https://www.wtkr.com/news/national/sci-fi-icon-and-star-trek-star-nichelle-nichols-ashes-to-be-rocketed-into-deep-space | 2022-08-26T03:37:03Z | https://www.wtkr.com/news/national/sci-fi-icon-and-star-trek-star-nichelle-nichols-ashes-to-be-rocketed-into-deep-space | true | 12 |
Time to go back to the beginning. The Winchesters, the Supernatural prequel series debuting on The CW this fall, premiered a new minute-long promo ahead of its Oct. 11 launch, and only ET has the exclusive first look at the upcoming drama, which shifts the focus to Sam and Dean Winchester's parents.
Narrated by and told through the perspective of Dean (Jensen Ackles), The Winchesters tells the untold love story of how John (Drake Rodger) met Mary (Meg Donnelly) and how they put it all on the line to not only save their love, but the entire world.
In the new promo, Ackles makes his return to the Supernatural universe as Dean, looking longingly into the distance as he's advised to "let the past go." Of course, that's easier said than done as the action ramps up for young John and Mary, who find themselves at the center of intense battles and hunting down evil. When John arrives in town, he's on a quest to be the conduit for good versus evil, declaring at one point, "I was born to do this."
And John and Mary's first meeting isn't of the typical kind. After John is saved from serious injury (and possibly death) due to Mary's quick thinking and impressive fight moves, the duo begins to realize that they're perhaps better off fighting the monsters together instead of apart.
"This a normal night for you?" an amused Mary asks John amid an evening of hunting supernatural creatures.
"Yeah," John answers, causing Mary to smile. Watch ET's exclusive promo above.
Ackles and his wife, Danneel, serve as executive producers on The Winchesters, alongside writer/executive producer Robbie Thompson. Glen Winter directed the pilot.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Samantha Smith played older John and Mary on Supernatural.
The Winchesters premieres Tuesday, Oct. 11 on The CW.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Things could not have gone better for USA Basketball on Thursday night.
John Jenkins scored 22 points on 8-for-9 shooting — including a 6-of-7 effort from 3-point range — and the U.S. had little trouble on the way to a 105-71 victory over Uruguay in a World Cup Americas Region qualifying game.
The win, combined with Puerto Rico’s win over Brazil in another qualifier Thursday, put the Americans alone atop of their qualifying group.
Langston Galloway added 18 points for the Americans, who are likely now just two wins away from qualifying for next year’s World Cup. And they did it with former U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski — the now-retired Duke coach who led the Americans to three consecutive Olympic gold medals — looking on from a courtside seat.
Coach K surely liked what he saw.
The U.S. (6-1 in qualifying) outscored Uruguay 33-13 in the second quarter to take control, that burst fueled by making 3-pointers on four consecutive possessions. The outcome was never in doubt again.
DaQuan Jeffries scored 16, Dewan Hernandez added 12 and Robert Woodard II had 11 for the Americans, who were 15 for 29 from 3-point range.
Esteban Batista and Luciano Perodi each had 14 for Uruguay (4-3), which remains firmly in the mix for a World Cup berth.
The U.S. opened the day tied with Brazil in the Group F standings; there are two groups of six teams in the Americas Region, and the top three in each group — along with the best fourth-place team — will go to the World Cup.
The Americans can’t start packing for the World Cup yet. But they can probably start thinking about what to bring.
Other than the U.S. and Brazil, Group F also includes Puerto Rico, Mexico, Uruguay and Colombia. The other group in the Americas Region, Group E, features Canada, Venezuela, Argentina, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas and Panama.
Uruguay led 4-0 after 20 seconds, and that was the lone hurrah for the visitors from South America. The rest of the night was all U.S., which got its easiest win yet of this qualifying tournament.
TIP-INS
Uruguay: Santiago Vescovi finished with 10 points. He was an All-SEC player at Tennessee last season and has started 77 of his 81 games for the Volunteers in three years there. ... Batista, who turns 39 next week, was the only player on Uruguay’s roster with NBA regular-season experience. He appeared in 70 games with Atlanta between 2005 and 2007. ... Kiril Waschmann may be a familiar name to some; he was born in Spain, raised in New York and played his four years of college basketball at Iona.
USA: The Americans have now used 38 players in their seven World Cup qualifying games. ... Galloway has reached double-digits in each of his last four World Cup qualifying appearances, the longest such streak among those currently on the U.S. roster. ... The fifth qualifying window is in November, with the Americans scheduled to face Brazil on Nov. 11 and Colombia on Nov. 14. FIBA’s schedule indicates the U.S. will be the home team for those games, but no site has been announced.

Looks like there’s some straightenin’ to be had. Offset is taking his former record label to court.
TMZ reports that the “Clout” rapper is suing Quality Control Music, accusing them of ignoring the terms of a solo deal that was made in January 2021. In the suit, Offset says that he negotiated the deal and even paid a hefty penny for his artist rights. However, QC isn’t honoring the deal. In fact, he alleges that they tried to claim ownership of his recently released track, “54321,” featuring Baby Keem. He calls the move, “hostile.”
Judging by the exchange of words between Set and QC’s head honcho, Pierre “P” Thomas, it is not pretty at all. Even Cardi B. hops in the comments to stand by her man.
It is worth noting that Offset is still signed to QC as a member of Migos, even though the other two members, Quavo and Takeoff, have been releasing music as a duo lately. However, he wants to be declared that QC has no rights to his solo work as of January 15, 2021. He is set to release a new single, “Code,” featuring Moneybagg Yo, on Friday (Aug. 26). That track will be released on Motown Records.

Earlier this year Kanye West found himself in legal hot water when he laid out a fan who asked him for an autograph at the worst possible time, but luckily Ye won’t be facing any charges for letting his “gangsta” out the cage.
According to Page Six, a spokesperson for the LA City Attorney’s Office told them that Kanye would not be charged for the January incident as their investigation of the incident led them to believe that there would be “no reasonable likelihood of conviction.” Kanye West’s attorney, Michael Goldstein weighed in on the decision saying “We are satisfied with this resolution as it recognizes my client did nothing wrong.”
The criminal defense lawyer then alleges that “video and photographs provided to the City Attorney’s office confirmed that this particular individual followed my client to three different locations over a short period of time and ultimately waited for him at his hotel where he approached my client at 3 a.m. [local time]. He once again entered my client’s personal space, which was unacceptable.”
The incident happened in January when a man approached Kanye West for an autograph but was apparently turned down by Ye and an argument ensued. At the time, Kanye West was more focused on breaking up Kim Kardashian’s relationship with her new beau Pete Davidson so y’all know his mind was in a darker place than usual. A video of the encounter leaked onto the internet and though the punch wasn’t captured on film, the aftermath of the encounter surely was as the man was already laid out on the ground.
West could be heard in the clip yelling at the female staffer, “Get away from me,” as she tried to calm him down and said, “Give me your hand.”
“No, get away from me!” he then responded in rage. “Ain’t no hands, ain’t no hands.”
Page Six learned soon after that the alleged victim had attempted to get West’s autograph on two separate occasions. West’s lawyer clarified to us Tuesday that the man was an autograph broker.
Apparently the man had approached Kanye West for his John Hancock at Craig’s in LA and then asked him again outside of Delilah two days later. That’s when Yeezy apparently had enough and gave him something to remember him by forreal forreal.
Though Kanye has dodged a legal bullet for now don’t be surprised if the autograph broker ends up suing Kanye West for putting hands on him at some point.

Nonprofit blood center opens new donor site for Augusta patients
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - We’ve been facing blood shortages for years, and in a community that’s a medical hub, we need more blood than the average city.
Our local donation numbers still haven’t fully bounced back to their pre-pandemic numbers. But a new player is joining the fight.
The non-profit blood center, The Blood Connection, is starting blood drives to help meet the need for Doctors Hospital.
Back in January, the I-TEAM showed you how critical the need is for O- and O+ blood and platelets. Eight months later, that same need is still here.
Blood shortages have been a global issue for quite some time, made worse by the pandemic.
During the summer, habits change, trauma cases ramp up, and blood supplies dip further. The local supply is feeling the pinch.
“We were approached and asked to come in and help stabilize the blood supply,” said Chief Press and Media Coordinator for The Blood Connection Katie Smithson.
The Blood Connection is a local non-profit community blood center serving Doctors Hospital of Augusta.
This is their first local blood drive.
“We’ve been in this region for a while. We’re no stranger to the Augusta region. We are thrilled to continue that partnership with this new partnership with Doctors Hospital of Augusta,” said Smithson.
The new player faces a familiar challenge.
“I think a lot of people hear us say there’s an urgent need for blood, there’s an urgent need, we need this many units or hospitals need this many,” she said.
Smithson says every number associated with blood is a person, a neighbor, and a family member who needs help.
One of those is Angielique Adams’ mother.
“My mom has been sick ever since I was in middle school, she’d been doing chemo treatments or infusions,” she said.
Without monthly transfusions, her mother might not survive.
“Just like the fact that the blood connection everything stays locally, so I know that with her getting transfusions is somebody here locally that saved her life,” she said.

The lineup of Nintendo Switch game launches for the back half of 2022 is looking pretty solid. We’ll be getting another entry in the Mario + Rabbids series, a long-awaited sequel to Bayonetta and new Pokémon games, all in the span of a couple of months. But before we get to those titles, we’ll be getting Splatoon 3 first.
During a Direct earlier this month, Nintendo gave us a big look at what we can expect in the upcoming sequel. The game will launch with 12 playable stages, some new Turf War mechanics and new weapons. You’ll also be able to play the fan-favourite Salmon Run mode whenever you want.
Kotaku Australia’s editor David recently got to visit Nintendo’s Australian office and play a few rounds of the game. He thought the single-player campaign was fairly reminiscent of the previous game’s and that the multiplayer mode was as strong as ever – “What I played of Splatoon 3 felt very Splatoon-y. If you’re a fan of this series, I’d say there’s reason to be excited.”
If you weren’t already hyped for the game, David’s hands-on experience will definitely help to get you there. Here’s where you can snag a copy of Splatoon 3 for cheap, along with with the Splatoon-themed Switch OLED and Pro Controller.
Where can you get Splatoon 3 for cheap?
Splatoon 3 is set to retail for $79.95, but if you head over eBay you can currently preorder the game for $63.71 if you use the discount code PLAU15 when checking out. This offer is only available until 29 August, so hop on it before it’s gone.
After that, The Gamesmen are selling Splatoon 3 for $68, while pretty much every other major retailer in Australia is offering Splatoon 3 for $69.
Here’s where you can pick up a cheap copy of Splatoon 3 in Australia:
- eBay: $63.71 with the discount code PLAU15
- The Gamesmen: $68
- Amazon Australia: $69 + free shipping
- Big W: $69
- Catch: $69
- Dick Smith: $69
- JB Hi-Fi: $69
- Kogan: $69
- Target: $69
- EB Games: $79.95
It looks like Nintendo is going all-out for the launch of Splatoon 3, as it’s also releasing a Splatoon 3-themed Switch OLED Model and a Pro Controller.
As it currently stands, there aren’t any discounts going for the Splatoon OLED Switch, but you can pick up the Pro Controller for $99.95 through Dick Smith, Kogan or eBay (the discount code SNSAUGUST). It’s also worth noting that the OLED doesn’t come with a copy of the game, so you’ll need to grab that separately.

US Senator Blackburn Visits Taiwan in Latest Defiance of China

- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.

(Bloomberg) -- US Senator Marsha Blackburn is set to meet Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei, becoming the latest member of Congress to defy Beijing’s warnings against engaging with the island.

Blackburn, a Republican on the Senate’s Commerce and Armed Services Committee that sets defense policy, arrived in Taipei late Thursday and is scheduled to meet Tsai on Friday morning. Her trip marks the third congressional visit to Taiwan this month.
“Taiwan is our strongest partner in the Indo-Pacific Region,” Blackburn said in a statement, announcing her three-day visit. “Regular high-level visits to Taipei are long-standing US policy. I will not be bullied by Communist China into turning my back on the island.”
Earlier this month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi became the highest-ranking US official in a quarter century to visit Taiwan, prompting Beijing to fire missiles over the island for the first time. The US has accused China of using Pelosi’s trip as a pretext to ramp up military pressure on the island Beijing claims as its own territory.
There are growing bipartisan calls in Congress for the US to deepen its support of Taiwan, including through military sales and a bilateral trade initiative. At least 150 US senators and House members have traveled to Taiwan over the past decade, according to Taiwanese government statements and congressional travel records, including 34 so far under President Joe Biden.
Blackburn’s stop in Taiwan is part of a wider swing through the Indo-Pacific region, where the US is jostling with China for greater influence. She earlier stopped in Fiji, the Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea.
The Tennessee senator has been a long-time China critic. She lobbied for the US to block technology shipments to Chinese telecoms giant Huawei over national security concerns and blasted Beijing for its initial handling of the Covid outbreak.

Alouettes Christophe Normand faces charges of luring a teenager for sexual purposes
Montreal Alouettes player and former teacher Christophe Normand is facing charges of luring a teenage girl for sexual purposes, according to an article in Granby's Voix de l'Est daily newspaper published Thursday.
According Pascal Faucher's article, the 30-year-old fullback is accused of having communicated "by a means of telecommunication" with a person under the age of 16 "in order to facilitate the commission of an offence" of a sexual nature, such as assault or possession of obscene material.
The alleged offences occurred on Aug. 9, in Bromont, the Voix de l'Est also reported.
Normand was arrested by the SQ at his home in Eastman early in the morning on Thursday, and then appeared by videoconference from the SQ station in Waterloo, also in the Eastern Townships. He pleaded not guilty.
In a brief statement released Thursday night, the Alouettes said they "have learned of the allegations concerning Christophe Normand."
The organization is taking the matter seriously and is in the process of gathering as much information as possible about the future. The Alouettes will not comment further at this time.

Lt Gen Pradeep Bali (retd)
Shimla, the queen of hills, was built by the British who gave some iconic names to houses, institutions and public places. These names have a story of their own and mostly reflect the nostalgia felt by the Englishman for his native land or a historical link to the personality responsible for creating a particular edifice.
Post Independence, and particularly in the last few years, many such institutions and places have been renamed. That may be in sync with the penchant for bestowing an Indian identity on all things in India. However, there is an element of incongruity about a few of these renamed identities.
On the southern slopes of the town is located Kamla Nehru Hospital which provides quality natal expertise. It was built in the early 1920s of the last century and is named after Lady Reading, wife of the then Viceroy. Concerned with the lack of healthcare for native women, Lady Reading raised money through charity and by a generous contribution from her own purse to build the hospital. In 1982, it was renamed Kamla Nehru Hospital after a gentle lady, who married into the most prominent political family of India and died of tuberculosis in a sanatorium in Switzerland.
In the west is the flat picturesque green valley of Annandale. It has a golf course, a helipad and a vintage pavilion, which is the clubhouse. The area was developed by the British and was first documented in 1834, in the East Indian United Service Journal. British officers found it similar to the Annandale valley in Dumfriesshire county in Scotland, and some of them hailed from that area. However, a romantic twist has been given to it, which has gained popularity with tourists. A story has been put out that the actual name is Annadale, given by Capt Kennedy, the first political agent of the British government in Shimla hills, who named it after ‘Anna’, his ladylove back in England. However, a prominent marble tablet, installed inside the pavilion, puts the record straight about the nomenclature. Dated 1896, it’s a commemoration of Lord Beresford, by citizens of Simla, for having greatly improved Annandale.
Another imposing edifice of interest is the Post and Telegraph office, located on the Mall road, constructed in 1922. A stately structure, it has each piece of stone specifically shaped. On the south-western corner is a small linking piece of masonry, about 10 ft above the ground, with a few words in Latin etched into it. The English translation would be — ‘Many men created the stone work of this building: the work was directed by J Begg’.

Police say a man has been charged over a series of attacks in two Vancouver neighbourhoods.
Three people who were walking last Thursday on the west side of the city were each allegedly attacked within about two hours.
They include a 70-year-old man who police say was tackled to the ground, a 33-year-old woman who was punched in the face and a 23-year-old woman police say had been stabbed.
Officers say in a news release there was a fourth attack early Saturday when a 54-year-old woman suffered life-threatening injuries during an alleged home invasion on the city’s east side.
Sgt. Steve Addison says a suspect was arrested nearby and officers found evidence linking him to the previous attacks.
A 21-year-old man has been charged with two counts of assault, two counts of aggravated assault and one count of break and enter.

A state judge ruled that LSU must pay former offensive line coach James Cregg $500k for improper termination as first reported by The Advocate.
Cregg was fired in 2021 when he was accused of holding in-person meetings with recruits during a recruiting dead period due to the COVID-19 pandemic. State Judge Wilson Fields ordered LSU to pay Cregg over $492,945, according to court minutes.
Cregg sued the university last year for breach of contract, arguing neither LSU nor the NCAA determined that he broke any NCAA rules. Then Head Coach Ed Orgeron fired Cregg "for cause" in June of 2021 after he admitted to an NCAA enforcement official that he visited with and provided gear to a recruit during the recruiting dead period.
The amount LSU is ordered to pay Cregg is the balance of his contract with LSU in the period from June, 2021, to when is contract was supposed to expire in March, 2022-- minus several payments from several weeks in the spring of 2022 when Cregg took a job with the San Francisco 49ers. | https://www.lsureveille.com/sports/report-lsu-must-pay-former-offensive-line-coach-fired-for-ncaa-violations-500k-judge-rules/article_fb449632-24d4-11ed-8ec9-63ebcdd30810.html | 2022-08-26T04:06:54Z | https://www.lsureveille.com/sports/report-lsu-must-pay-former-offensive-line-coach-fired-for-ncaa-violations-500k-judge-rules/article_fb449632-24d4-11ed-8ec9-63ebcdd30810.html | false | 1 |
SECUNDERABAD: With the
ministry of defence (MoD) making amendments to its newly proposed Cantonment Bill 2022, it is likely that the vice-president of Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) may be directly elected by voters of civilian wards.
The defence ministry had in fact received many suggestions regarding the issue from elected representatives of various Cantonments as well as from residential welfare associations (RWA).
According to the proposed Cantonment Bill, every board will have a vice-president elected directly by the electors. The move is supposed to help Cantonment authorities handle Board meetings in a smooth manner.
Explaining the present system, a senior SCB official said the CEO holds a special board meeting to elect the vice-president. All elected civilian ward members choose one among them and propose his/her name to the CEO for the post.
A candidate has to be proposed by one elected ward member and seconded by another by way of nomination paper in a prescribed form. The name of the elected candidate is then read by the president of the Board once all elected ward members raise their hand to express their go ahead, said the official.
SCB residents had a positive reaction to the new amendment to the Bill. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/telangana-secunderabad-cantonment-board-may-have-direct-election-of-vice-precident-from-next-term-as-ministry-of-defence-amends-cantonment-bill/articleshow/93788142.cms | 2022-08-26T04:08:09Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/telangana-secunderabad-cantonment-board-may-have-direct-election-of-vice-precident-from-next-term-as-ministry-of-defence-amends-cantonment-bill/articleshow/93788142.cms | true | 1 |
About 1.2m S'porean households to receive one-off $100 utilities credit by September
About 1.2 million Singaporean households living in public and private residential properties will each receive a one-off $100 Household Utilities Credit by next month.
All households with at least one Singapore citizen and living in a residential property here are eligible for the credit, which will be directly disbursed to eligible households' SP Service utilities accounts by next month, said the Ministry of Finance (MOF) in a statement on Friday (Aug 26).
The credit is part of a $1.5 billion package announced by Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in June to help lower-income families and vulnerable groups amid rising global inflation.
It can be used to offset SP Group charges.
Households that are billed separately for their electricity by other retailers can use the credit for other SP Group charges such as water, gas and refuse disposal.
Excess credit on a household's SP Group account will be rolled over to offset future utilities bills, until it is fully used.
MOF said the HUC is given on top of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) - U-Save scheme, which benefits about 950,000 HDB households.
HDB households will receive double their regular U-Save in financial year (FY) 2022 through the regular GSTV scheme and Household Support Package announced at Budget 2022, the ministry added.
In all, households living in 4-room HDB flats will receive about five months' worth of rebates on their utility bills for the whole of FY2022, while those in 3-room HDB flats will receive about seven months' worth of rebates, said MOF.

A New York woman fought off an aggressive rabid fox in her front yard on July 25 and said she feared being “eaten alive” during the attack.
Sherry Russo, a retired nurse, was attacked by a rabid fox and suffered 16 injuries in the incident.
The 61-year-old said she thought the fox was her neighbour’s dog.
“When I got the first nip on the outside of my leg, I thought it was our neighbor’s dog,” Russo said. “I put my foot up and said, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’ And drive him away but I looked down and I saw this gray fox.”
Florida middle school students were greeted by an alligator during drop-off
“He was a young kid but he was just relentless, he just kept coming back and every time he did that I started to lose a little more confidence in my ability to put him away,” Russo said.
Russo said she realized something “bad was going to happen” after the fox kept coming back. Video surveillance shows she threw the fox to the ground several times, but it kept coming back.
“When I reached down to get him off my feet, he grabbed me between my thumb and my forefinger and he stabbed me,” she said.
Warning: graphic photos below
Finally her neighbor came in and “grabbed a stick” to kill the mad fox, and only then did the fox stop its attack.

“Once the fox saw him approaching me, he decided he was going to regroup and think about attacking someone else because that’s when he landed,” Russo said. “I can’t thank God enough that my neighbor came forward. I can’t get over how kind he was to not look away or pretend he didn’t hear anything. I’ll be forever grateful for that.”

India has also overtaken China as the largest nationality who are being issued sponsored study visas in the UK, the British High Commission press release showed.
The press release also highlights that the UK remains a popular destination for travellers and holidayers as well. Of all the visitor visas granted by the UK, Indians accounted for the highest proportion at 28%.
More than 258,000 Indians received visitor visas in the year ending June 2022. This was a 630% increase from the same period last year as Covid-19 restrictions were still in place.
Close to 103,000 Indians also received work visas in the year ending June 2022 - which include skilled and seasonal workers - registering an 148% increase from the same period last year.
Indians continue to be the top nationality to have been granted skilled worker visas. Of all skilled work visas granted globally, Indians accounted for 46%.
“India first again. I’m delighted that Indian nationals were issued the largest number of UK study, work and visitor visas in the year ending June 2022. More strength to the unique living bridge that connects our people," Alex Ellis said.
Ellis also reiterated his previous plea asking students to apply for visas as early as possible as there was an ‘unprecedented’ surge in demand for UK visas as Covid relaxations were eased.
“As this shows, we’re experiencing unprecedented demand for visas. I encourage students starting courses soon to apply as early as possible," Ellis said.
The diplomat earlier this month urged Indians who are planning to visit the UK to not book their airline tickets before getting the visas. “We want to see an unprecedented number of Indian students coming to the UK this year and we will do everything we can to make sure that you get your visa on time. But again, follow the guidance to the letter," Ellis told students applying for courses across the UK’s universities and colleges.

Gov. Brian Kemp fights subpoena in Georgia election probe
Updated 7:13AM
ATLANTA (AP) — The judge presiding over a special grand jury that's investigating possible illegal attempts to influence the 2020 election in Georgia is wading into a fight over whether Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has to testify before the panel.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who's supervising the special grand jury, scheduled a hearing for Thursday morning after a dispute between lawyers for the governor and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' team of prosecutors escalated from tense emails to court filings in recent weeks.
The increasingly heated rhetoric is playing out as the Republican governor, who is seeking reelection in the fall, seeks to avoid speaking to a special grand jury looking into whether former President Donald Trump and his allies broke any laws as they tried to overturn Trump's narrow election loss to Democrat Joe Biden. Kemp's lawyers have accused Willis, a Democrat, of pursuing his testimony for "improper political purposes," an allegation the district attorney strongly denies.
Willis' investigation was prompted by a January 2021 phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger during which the then-president suggested the state's top election official could "find" the votes needed to overturn his loss.
Raffensperger and some other state officials have already appeared before the special grand jury, but Kemp is one of a number of potential witnesses who are fighting orders to testify.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., whose telephone calls to Raffensperger and his staff in the weeks after the election are of interest to prosecutors, was supposed to testify earlier this week, but a federal appeals court put that on hold while he fights his subpoena.
A judge in Texas last week ordered Dallas-based lawyer and podcaster Jacki Pick to travel to Atlanta to testify, and her attempt to challenge that order was denied Tuesday by an appeals court. Pick, who's also known as Jacki Deason, gave a presentation before a Georgia legislative committee in December 2020 in which she alleged fraud by election workers at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
Willis has said she's considering summoning Trump himself to appear before the grand jury, a step that would surely set off a legal fight. The high-stakes investigation is one in a string of serious legal threats the former president is facing.
Willis told Kemp attorney Brian McEvoy in a June email that she and her team wanted to ask the governor, among other things, about the call between Trump and Raffensperger. Trump also called Kemp in December 2020 asking him to order a special legislative session to secure the state's electoral votes for him.
After an agreement to have the governor sit for a recorded interview fell apart, the district attorney's office got a subpoena to have the governor testify on Aug. 18, according to court filings. The day before he was to testify, Kemp's lawyers filed a motion to quash that subpoena.
During Thursday's hearing, McBurney will determine whether Kemp has to abide by the subpoena.
Kemp's lawyers argue that he is protected from testifying about his official duties by "sovereign immunity," a principle that says the state can't be sued without its consent. They also cited executive privilege, saying any material related to the governor's deliberative process and communications is protected. And they raised attorney-client privilege, saying the governor routinely sought advice from his office's attorneys in relation to the 2020 election and shouldn't have to testify about that.
Willis' team has argued that sovereign immunity and executive privilege don't apply in this case and that they would avoid any topic that may be subject to attorney-client privilege.

The Preston High Cheerleading Squad is training hard for a full year of game cheering and competitions.
Four seniors will be returning to the squad this year, Coach Tina Silcott said: Hanna Braham, Haley McKenzie, Madison Nine and Natalie Stemple.
Six juniors, two sophomores and four freshmen will round out the squad.
All will be cheering at every home and away PHS football game.
As many as 13 of the squad’s best athletes will also compete in competitions. Two competitions are required: Region 1 and the Big 10 Conference Championships.
“We had a really successful year last year, and I’m looking for bigger and better things this year,” Silcott said.
During basketball season there are other competitions that cheering squads can compete in as well. A fee is required to compete in those competitions.
“We will definitely go to Liberty’s competition in the winter and probably a competition at East Fairmont in the winter. And, hopefully, I’m planning on hosting a competition here for cheerleading,” Silcott said.
It’s been about five years since Preston was able to host a cheer competition at home. When the second competition was planned, pipes burst at the school, and the event had to be cancelled.
“And then COVID hit,” Silcott said.
At some competitions the girls can enter individually in a jump competition, a tumbling competition, sideline competition or as a stunt group, for example, as well as the team competitions.
The number of students coming out for cheerleading is a little less than in the past. Silcott attributes that in part to the elimination of the sport’s competition at the youth league level.
“A lot of girls begged out of cheerleading and picked up a different sport, because they like competing,” she said.
Other girls decided if they weren’t good jumpers or couldn’t tumble to change sports or not do any sports.
“People have this misconception, they think cheerleading’s just standing on the sidelines doing sideline cheers. Cheerleading is a sport, and the girls have to jump, and they have to be able to tumble and they have to be able to cheer on the sidelines,” Silcott said.
When preparing for competitions, for example, the squad may work for six hours at a time with a choreographer. The cheerleaders perform on mats now, rather than on the hard gym floor, which decreases the chance of injury.
“I just want everybody in the county to know that cheerleading is a very difficult and rugged sport for athletes, and the athletes I coach are in tip top shape, and they’re really great athletes. And I think a lot of people don’t see it that way, but they are great athletes,” Silcott said.

Students praise Postgraduate Research Support at Northampton
Postgraduate researchers have praised the experience and support they have received from the University of Northampton in a national satisfaction survey.
The Postgraduate Research Survey (PRES) 2022 is organised by Advance HE, and invites research students on a doctoral or research master’s course to comment on their programme, learning and supervision. This year the University of Northampton has been ranked in the top 10 in every aspect of its provision.
Highlights include a top three position for progression (focusing on the induction that new researchers receive, and how well they understand what is required on the programme) and 4th for research culture. Those students surveyed also overwhelmingly praised the support they received from the University throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dr Cathy Smith, Dean of Research, Impact and Innovation at the University of Northampton said: “The role of postgraduate research is vital as it opens doors not only to new career opportunities, but new realms of knowledge, innovation and impact.
“These results are testimony to the value we place on supporting our students to succeed.”
Prof Matthew McCormack, Head of the Graduate School added: “We take the PRES really seriously, as it is important to know what we are doing well and what we can improve. It is great to hear our postgraduate researchers tell us that they have such a positive experience of studying at UON.”
The University of Northampton has around 360 postgraduate research students, from all over the world. They are studying on PhD, Professional Doctorate and MPhil programmes, and are working in a wide range of research areas across the university.

NBA Conference: Nigerians lack heroes – Chimamanda Adichie (Video)
Award-winning novelist, Chimamanda Adichie, has said Nigerians do not have enough leaders to look up to in the current system.
Adiche made this statement during her keynote address at the ongoing Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Bar Association at the Eko Hotel on Monday.
The conference, themed “BOLD Transitions” is scheduled to hold between August 19 to 26, 2022.
Adiche, during her speech, said young citizens were finding it difficult to have heroes for mentorship.
She said, “We are starved of heroes. Our young people do not find people to look up to anymore.”
The speaker said it was important for everyone to speak out against injustice and tyranny even if they were called troublemakers.
She said, a bold transition must embrace audacity and innovation. They have called me troublesome. Although, it is never enjoyable to be called troublesome. I never set out to provoke for it’s sake. But I refuse to silence myself for the fear of what I might inadvertently provoke. It has always been important to me to say what I believe, to call out injustice.
“Federal and state security dragging journalists to prison is tyranny. A journalist ill-treating his domestic staff is tyranny. The rape of young boys and girls is also tyranny. It is tyranny when state governments do not pay pensioners until they slump and die as broken people. The physical harassment of lawyers and some some judges is tyranny. The use of the law by some people to oppress the poor people is tyranny.”
Adiche said Nigerians must be fair in their criticisms before peace can thrive. She said they should become responsible before holding the leaders responsible.
She said, “As long as we refuse to untangle the knot of injustice, peace cannot thrive. If we don’t talk about it, we fail to hold leaders accountable and we turn what should be transparent systems into ugly opaque cults.
“My experience made me think there’s something dead in us, in our society; a death of self-awareness and ability for self-criticism.
There’s need for resurrection. We cannot avoid self-criticism but criticise the government. We cannot hide our own institutional failure while demanding transparency from the government.”
In her closing remarks, she advocated for an uncorrupted judicial system and called on the NBA to leverage technology in judicial process and the administration of justice in the country.
She said, “Nigerians are disillusioned because they know of the decline of professionalism in some sections of the legal profession. As the NBA continues to fight the abuse of power, it must also look inward not to be corrupted.
“One way is to simplify legal procedure. We deny justice when we delay justice. Technology should also be used. It is time for the full use of technology in the administration of justice.” | https://niyitabiti.net/2022/08/nba-conference-nigerians-lack-heroes-chimamanda-adichie-video/ | 2022-08-26T04:38:04Z | https://niyitabiti.net/2022/08/nba-conference-nigerians-lack-heroes-chimamanda-adichie-video/ | false | 1 |
The No. 21-ranked West Virginia University women’s soccer team fell, 2-0, to No. 21 Penn State at Jeffrey Field in University Park, Pennsylvania, on Thursday night.
Despite senior goalkeeper Kayza Massey’s slew of impressive saves in the first half, the Penn State attack wore down West Virginia (1-1-1, 0-0 Big 12) in the second half to score two goals and secure the win.
Penn State got a couple of good looks early, earning a free kick just outside the top of the box in the seventh minute, but Massey did her job to make the stop. She was tested again in the 23rd minute as PSU broke down West Virginia’s back line for another quality look, but the Ottawa, Ontario, native stuck out a hand to make the last-second save.
West Virginia’s best opportunity of the first half came off a free kick at the top of the box in the 41st minute. Fifth-year senior defender Jordan Brewster took the free kick and sent a rocket straight toward goal that was narrowly stopped by the PSU keeper. The match remained scoreless as the two teams went into halftime.
The Mountaineers seemed to have better control of possession in the opening minutes of the second half, creating a quality chance in the 48th minute. Senior defender Julianne Vallerand sent a shot that was blocked, but it drew the PSU keeper away from the net. Junior midfielder Lilly McCarthy took the rebound shot towards an empty net, but what looked to be a sure goal was knocked out by the Nittany Lion defense at the last second.
Despite West Virginia’s offensive pressure to open the half, PSU took the lead 10 minutes later on a goal off a long volley from midfield. The Mountaineers only got one more shot off before PSU added to its lead in the 72nd minute on header off a corner kick. From there, West Virginia tried to fight back, but it wasn’t enough, and they fell to Penn State, 2-0.
In the final stats, Penn State outshot West Virginia, 17-9, while it recorded a 7-4 lead in corner kicks. It was a physical match, with 14 fouls called on the two sides. Sophomore forward Dilary Heredia-Beltran was shown a pair of yellow cards in the match, causing her to be waved off with a red card in the 85th minute and leave West Virginia with only 10 players to finish the match. Despite allowing a pair of goals, Massey had an impressive showing with six saves, one shy of her career best.
With the win, Penn State extended its advantage in the all-time series to 11-7-3, including 7-3-2 in University Park.
West Virginia now returns home to finish out the weekend, playing host to Saint Francis (Pa.) on Sunday, Aug. 28, at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium in Morgantown. The match is slated for 1 p.m. ET, and is Youth Soccer Day, with free admission for youth in eighth grade and younger wearing a youth soccer jersey. The Mountaineers also will host a postgame youth clinic and participants will be entered to win a signed WVU women’s soccer game jersey.

Manchester United rediscover pride and promise after bouncing back from lowest ebb
Manchester United 's hitherto miserable start to this new season had provoked plenty of debate about Erik ten Hag 's style of play. Is David de Gea comfortable enough with the ball at his feet? Do Lisandro Martinez ’s abilities in build-up make up for his small stature? Is Christian Eriksen a false nine, a false six or just a symbol of yet another false dawn?
But at a time when the intricacies of each and every manager’s tactical philosophy are pored over, sometimes it really is a lot more simple than that. Sometimes it is about pride.
That may sound like basic, facile analysis, maybe even the type of under-thinking that has dominated at Old Trafford for the best part of a decade and reduced the most successful club of the Premier League era to the pile of rubble witnessed in West London.
But then United’s humiliation at Brentford was so vast, so profound and so complete, that Ten Hag’s rebuilding process had to start at the very foundations. It had to begin with a fundamental question: do you think you are good enough to play for Manchester United?
If the answer the weekend before last was a resounding no, then several members of Ten Hag’s squad will feel able to answer that question confidently and in the affirmative after this unexpected, much-needed win over no less than their historic and most hated rivals.
The pre-match consensus was that unrest against ownership would work against United. If anything, it worked in their favour. Even if those watching inside Old Trafford had paid an admission fee directly to the objects of the ire, they generated the same noise and fury as those protesting against the Glazers outside.
On the pitch, the tone was set within the very first minute by Martinez. A little shove on the shoulder of Mohamed Salah not only let the Liverpool forward know he was there but sustained the febrile energy in the stands.
He was not the only United player to feed off it. Scott McTominay snapped into tackles. Diogo Dalot relished a body-to-body tussle for the ball with Luis Diaz out by the touchline, his eyes widening as it ended with him winning a foul. Jadon Sancho, a meek and muted presence in the vast majority of his United appearances to date, demanded the ball, as though finally ready to announce himself. His feint to create space to score the first not only committed James Milner but Alisson too, leaving an entire corner of the goalmouth to aim at.
The hope will be that this is the end of the beginning of Sancho’s Old Trafford career, the point at which he at last kicks on.
For his fellow goalscorer Marcus Rashford, it may be the start of a second chance. The sight of Rashford streaking in behind a defence and bearing down on the Stretford End in the manner he did before United’s second has been a rare one for too long now.
And even on those rare occasions, the chance has regularly gone begging. This time, the way the evening was going, the way Old Trafford’s expectant roar urged him forward, there was only going to be one outcome.
Yes, Ten Hag did do some things differently from a tactical perspective, despite insisting nothing would change. De Gea was much more assertive and consequently much more direct with the ball at his feet, going long before hesitation took hold. United did not flood their opponent’s penalty area with the same abandon as they did against Brighton and Brentford, thereby abandoning their centre-halves and leaving them to defend counter-attack alone.
Ten Hag tailored his game plan. The calibre of their opponents demanded that much.
There was no Cristiano Ronaldo either, until a late cameo. No Harry Maguire too. Yet the most obvious difference to those inside Old Trafford would have been a team of players who, out of nothing, had suddenly found belief.
Many of them are arguably not as good as their reputations suggest on recent evidence, but they are not as bad as the caricatures promoted on social media after years of ridicule either. There is talent here, enough for a coach with a clear and coherent idea and a knack for people management to get a tune out of.
This cannot be described as a 'statement' win. It is too early for that for Ten Hag and his United. There is plenty of work to do. But, two games later than expected, it is a new start. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2715366306331/manchester-united-rediscover-pride-and-promise-after-bouncing-back-from-lowest-ebb | 2022-08-26T04:43:06Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2715366306331/manchester-united-rediscover-pride-and-promise-after-bouncing-back-from-lowest-ebb | false | 1 |

TAIPEI, Taiwan — U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn met with Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen on Friday, in the second visit by members of Congress since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip earlier this month sharply raised tensions with China.
In her remarks, Tsai pointed to the large-scale military exercises that China launched in response to Pelosi's visit, as well as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as posing challenges to democratic governments such as the U.S. and Taiwan.
"These developments demonstrate how authoritarian countries are disrupting and threatening the world order," she said.
Blackburn, a Republican from Tennessee, reaffirmed shared values between the two governments and said she "looked forward to continuing to support Taiwan as they push forward as an independent nation."
China claims self-ruled Taiwan as its own territory, to be taken by force if necessary, and sees high-level foreign visits to the island as interference in its affairs and de facto recognition of Taiwanese sovereignty. China's recent military drills were seen by some as a rehearsal of future military action against the island, which U.S. military leaders say could come within the next few years.
In their meeting, Tsai and Blackburn also underscored the importance of economic links, especially in the semiconductor sector, where Taiwan is a world leader and the U.S. is seeking greater investment at home.
Blackburn arrived in Taipei late Thursday after visiting Fiji, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea as part of a U.S. push to "expand our diplomatic footprint in the area," her office said in a statement.
"The Indo-Pacific region is the next frontier for the new axis of evil," Blackburn, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, was quoted as saying. "We must stand against the Chinese Communist Party."
China has been making inroads in the western Pacific, signing a broad security agreement with the Solomons that the U.S. and allies such as Australia see as an attempt to overthrow the traditional security order in the region.
Pelosi was the highest-level member of the U.S. government to visit Taiwan in 25 years. China's response was to announce six zones surrounding the island for military exercises that included firing missiles over the island and sending ships across the midline of the Taiwan Strait, seen as a buffer between the two sides. Some of the missiles landed in Japan's exclusive economic zone.
Following Pelosi's trip, a delegation of House and Senate members visited. This week, Indiana's governor made a visit focused on business and academic cooperation. U.S politicians have called their visits a show of support for the island.
"I just landed in Taiwan to send a message to Beijing — we will not be bullied," said Blackburn in a tweet early morning Friday. "The United States remains steadfast in preserving freedom around the globe, and will not tolerate efforts to undermine our nation and our allies."
Taiwan also welcomed senior Japanese lawmakers this week.
The island's Foreign Minister, Joseph Wu, said Friday he welcomed all such visits by foreign government officials.
"Because of the military pressure China has demonstrated against Taiwan, there are more people than ever who want to come and show their support in Taiwan," Wu said. "You have seen quite a few already. And I can tell you there will be more."
During her three-day visit, Blackburn is also due to meet with the head of Taiwan's National Security Council.
Washington has no official diplomatic ties with Taipei in deference to China, but remains the island's biggest security guarantor, with U.S. law requiring it ensure Taiwan has the means to defend itself and to regard threats to the island as matters of "grave concern."
Taiwan and China split in 1949 after a civil war and have no official relations but are bound by billions of dollars of trade and investment.
China has increased its pressure on Taiwan since it elected independence-leaning Tsai as its president. When Tsai refused to endorse the concept of a single Chinese nation, China cut off contact with the Taiwanese government.
U.S. congressional visits to the island have stepped up in frequency in the past year.
On Thursday, the executive branch of Taiwan's government laid out plans for a 12.9% increase in the Defense Ministry's annual budget next year. The government is planning to spend an additional 47.5 billion New Taiwan dollars ($1.6 billion), for a total of 415.1 billion NTD ($13.8 billion) for the year.
The Defense Ministry said the increase is due to the "Chinese Communists' continued expansion of targeted military activities in recent years, the normalization of their harassment of Taiwan's nearby waters and airspace with warships and war planes."
Also Thursday, the Defense Ministry said it tracked four Chinese naval ships and 15 warplanes in the region surrounding the island. | https://m.startribune.com/us-senator-meets-taiwan-president-amid-tensions-with-china/600201246/ | 2022-08-26T04:57:38Z | https://m.startribune.com/us-senator-meets-taiwan-president-amid-tensions-with-china/600201246/ | true | 12 |
E-sports are similar to traditional sports in the sense of having fans follow and watch their favourite teams, as well as place bets on who they think, will win. Esports are streamed live, with tons of viewers tuning in at any given time of day. This is why esport production has recently boomed to be a billion-dollar industry..
Esports come in two forms: The live simulation of real traditional sports, such as the NBA, FIFA, and MLS. As well as esports games like League of Legends, DOTA and CS: GO. With good access to the internet, you can stream matches from YouTube, Twitch, and other such platforms. The industry has thrived to the extent that successful players earn as much as the highest-paid traditional sportsmen. Some of the far-reaching esports tournaments have competitions that run for millions of dollars in prizes for players and teams.
Much as the activity is largely based on live streams, people can place their bets before a game’s commencement. Many sportsbooks include esports and can offer promotions such as bet 10 get 50 free for joining a bookmaker, which you can use to wager on your favourite team
Three most popular types of esports betting
- Betting through an online site for money and with fixed odds
- Social and private betting among individuals
- Skins gambling or loot boxes. Both of which only occur in play. Below is an explanation of what these are.
Skins gambling
Skins are cosmetic items found within a video game to decorate weapons or characters. These are used as currency to bet on the outcome of a match. But that’s only some circumstances, depending on the game. They are also largely used as pure decoration. They are either earned as rewards as a gamer advances to higher levels, or can be purchased within the games’ store, often through loot boxes.
Loot boxes
Loot boxes often come in the form of virtual treasure chests, which unlock certain features in a game. They almost always include a ‘real-world’ price tag, which in a FIFA game means they get to buy and add a real player figure from the league’s popular ‘Ultimate Team’, to play in their fantasy match. In 2020, Loot boxes accounted for $15 billion in revenue across the video gaming industry.
Certain games come with their own betting options. A bettor may, for instance, wager on who makes the first run within a match.
Other things to bet on
- The winner of the match
- The tournament victor
- The end score
- Odd/Even bets where you get to bet on the games being won in an even/odd number of games won or played.
- Over/Under bets are when you bet against the estimated score set by an online betting site.
The risks involved in esports betting
It’s always important to understand the risks of new concepts, thus helping us navigate how and if we choose to continue with it. Here are the risks associated with esports betting.
The dissimilarity to traditional betting
Because esport betting looks nothing like traditional betting, parents to young gamers may have no idea what their children are up to. Esports betting isn’t regulated, meaning minors with access can partake, sometimes using their parents’ credit cards.
Easily accessible through social media platforms
Esports advertising also takes place on social media, using humour and memes to target a younger audience. This is different to how traditional gambling and sports betting is advertised.
Understanding its intricacies
Games like DOTA2 are difficult to understand from the word go, and people need to understand the game prior to playing or betting. In traditional sports, the bets are normally made by people who already understand the game, and the information is easily accessible.
Match fixing
Due to the lack of anti-fraud and cheating mechanisms set in place, match fixing is easy.
Addiction
The increasing popularity of the game may result in some addiction. Consequences may lead to destructive lifestyles.
Conclusion
As much as the risks mentioned are real, it’s worth noting that all things new go through different phases as they grow. Since it’s evident that esports is a growing industry, maybe with time, the concerns will be addressed and become a thing of the past. | https://chandigarhmetro.com/esport-betting-guide-all-you-need-to-know/ | 2022-08-26T05:00:35Z | https://chandigarhmetro.com/esport-betting-guide-all-you-need-to-know/ | true | 1 |
SYDNEY >> Authorities have found 1.8 metric tons (2 U.S. tons) of methamphetamine hidden in marble tiles shipped from the Middle East to Sydney in what police describe as the largest-ever seizure of the illicit drug in Australia.
Three men were arrested after 748 kilograms (1,649 pounds) of the drug were found early this month hidden in 24 containers that arrived at Port Botany, officials said on Friday.
Another 1,060 kilograms (2,337 pounds) of meth were found in 19 containers that arrived at the same port last week. The drugs were hidden in the same method and were all shipped from the United Arab Emirates.
Police estimate the meth’s street value at 1.6 billion Australian dollars ($1.1 billion), which reflects the higher prices that Australians pay for illicit drugs than users do in many comparable countries.
Police Detective Chief Supt. John Watson described the quantity of meth as “staggering.”
“This seizure will be felt for weeks to come by many high-, mid- and lower-level suppliers,” Watson said.
No further arrests have been made since last week’s seizure. Investigators have turned their attention to identifying the overseas suppliers.
“The Middle Eastern region is probably our main focus,” Watson said. “But I certainly wouldn’t restrict our investigation to just that region.”
All the containers were destined to be sent to a factory in western Sydney that had been set up to quickly extract meth from marble, Watson said. Police do not know how often the factory had been used.
The three men already arrested — aged 24, 26 and 34 — face potential life sentences in prison if convicted of drug trafficking. They have appeared in court and have been refused bail.
Australia’s previous record meth haul was 1.6 metric tons (1.8 U.S. tons) hidden in speakers and shipped into Melbourne from Bangkok in April 2019. Three Melbourne residents were charged with drug offenses. | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/08/25/breaking-news/australian-police-seize-record-2-tons-of-methamphetamine/ | 2022-08-26T05:01:20Z | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/08/25/breaking-news/australian-police-seize-record-2-tons-of-methamphetamine/ | false | 24 |

Herschel Walker skips details in bid to oust Raphael Warnock
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Herschel WalkerAmerican football player, running back, Heisman Trophy winner, College Football Hall of Fame member
KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) — Republican Herschel Walker has plenty to say about how his Democratic rival, U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, does his job in Washington. But Walker is considerably less revealing about what he’d do with the role himself.
A former football star and friend of former President Donald Trump, Walker tells voters he supports agriculture, veterans and law enforcement. He sells cultural conservatism and his mental health advocacy. He tags Warnock as a yes-man for President Joe Biden. Yet when asked for concrete alternatives to “the Biden-Warnock agenda,” Walker defaults mostly to generalities and stem-winding tangents — or he turns the question around.
“Have you asked my opponent? Don’t play games. You’re playing games,” Walker told reporters recently when pressed to clarify his stance on exceptions to abortion bans.
The broader approach tracks the way many political challengers — including Warnock two years ago — try to put incumbents on the defensive. That method is especially salient for Republican candidates in a midterm election year when Democrats must run alongside sustained inflation. But Walker’s rendition, as much as any GOP candidacy nationwide, is testing the bounds of that strategy as Democrats hammer the political novice as unfit for high office.
“There is a stark difference between me and my opponent,” Warnock said at a recent campaign stop, theatrically stretching the word “stark” as he smiled. “This race,” the senator continued, “is about who’s ready to represent Georgia.”
Democrats’ paid advertising levels the same charge, without humor.
Among Warnock’s first general election ads was video of Walker claiming he knows of a cure for COVID-19. “I have something that can bring you into a building that would clean you from COVID as you walk through this dry mist,” Walker said. “This here product — they don’t want to talk about that.”
Another Warnock ad hammered Walker for not agreeing to any of three long-standing Georgia general election debates after saying he’d debate Warnock “any time, any day.”
Other ads from Warnock-aligned groups have chronicled Walker's exaggerations about his business and academic accomplishments and his first wife's allegations of Walker's violent behavior.
Those spots are part of an advertising deluge that's allowed Warnock to burnish his personal brand, explain his Senate record on his terms and launch broadsides against Walker. That reach could prove decisive in a closely divided state: Warnock won his January 2021 special election runoff by 2 percentage points out of 4.5 million votes. Polls suggest reflect another hotly contested race, with Republicans depending on Walker to tilt the balance of the 50-50 Senate.
Warnock has fueled his ad blitz with a considerable money advantage. From the closing weeks of 2020 through June 30 of this year, he'd spent more than $85 million. Walker, by comparison, had raised $20.2 million and spent $13.4 million.
That leaves some Republicans fretting that Walker is behind in establishing his case. “I get really passionate about this because I know Herschel, and the left is trying to paint him into something he is not,” said Ginger Howard, a Georgia representative on the Republican National Committee.
Walker's answer so far is to make the race a referendum on Biden and Democrats, thus avoiding direct comparisons between the Georgia nominees. Walker aides say that isn't just the obvious course to navigate a first-time candidate's liabilities; it also happens, they insist, to resonate with a majority of Georgians.
“This is still a center-right state in a very Republican year,” said adviser Chip Lake, noting Biden’s approval ratings lag badly behind Warnock’s standing in Georgia. “Voters aren’t asking Herschel for white papers on policy.”
Liz Marchionni, who volunteers at her local Cobb County Republican office north of Atlanta, said most voters care more about broader values than specifics. “Every candidate should answer questions,” she said. But Walker “has excellent business experience,” she added. “He’s a strong Christian. And he’s working for freedom for all Americans.”
Nonetheless, the first-time candidate has started doing more policy themed events: roundtables with farmers, meetings with business owners, gatherings with law enforcement, a panel with conservative women, including the candidate’s wife, Julie Blanchard. Walker now huddles regularly with groups of reporters.
Much of that is a shift from his shielded Republican primary campaign. He easily won that contest anyway, leveraging his fame as a former University of Georgia football star and his relationship with Trump. But Lake said the campaign recognized Walker has to “engage with as many Georgians as possible” to defeat Warnock.
In recent appearances, Walker has talked of prioritizing aid to farmers, cutting environmental regulations he says limit domestic energy sources, and championing “second chance” policies to help convicted felons get employment.
But he doesn't get into details, and his go-to applause lines reflect standard conservative dogma. “We need spiritual warriors ... leaders who love this country ... people with common sense,” he told a standing-room-only crowd in northern Cobb County.
Lake said “it’s no different than any other campaign I’ve worked on.” And, he added, “I don’t remember Raphael Warnock’s campaign being that detailed” ahead of his victory over then-Sen. Kelly Loeffler.
Indeed, Warnock’s standard pitch this summer is more policy-heavy than in 2020, in part because he talks about measures that he’s helped get through the Senate. Yet in that campaign, Warnock did tout his activism as a Baptist pastor on Medicaid expansion and voting rights, holding forth on policy details. For example, he talked then about capping insulin costs and allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical firms. The Senate recently approved drug-price negotiations and a limited version of the insulin cap. Republicans restricted the cap only to Medicare; Warnock called for extending it across all consumers, including the privately insured.
Walker’s latest forays into policy highlight the potential risks in trying to match Warnock.
Discussing inflation before the recent Senate votes, Walker said he endorsed capping insulin prices. Told of Warnock’s efforts, he replied: “I support some of the good things he’s doing, but that’s just a Band-Aid. Why don’t he get back and get to things that are correct?”
Walker didn’t answer a follow-up question about what policies he’d pursue to combat the wider inflation he blames on Warnock. Instead, he veered into a soliloquy on border patrols and crime.
After accusing Warnock of supporting the Inflation Reduction Act without “reading the bill,” Walker admitted he’d read only “some of the bill” himself.
Meeting with north Georgia farmers, he learned that a majority of the federal farm bill — a staple of federal spending for generations — finances consumer food assistance. Farmers don’t necessarily oppose that consumer aid, though Congress often fights over amounts. But Walker heard the breakdown and mused that it is wasteful, even as one farmer explained that feeding a country of 330 million residents “is national security.”
Walker glosses over details when attacking Warnock, as well. Talking about why women should support him, Walker said, “I will keep them safe, not like my opponent, who votes to be soft on crime and soft-on-crime judges.” Walker then alluded to an unspecified local prosecution in Atlanta, alleging it involved defendants who’d been arrested more than 100 times.
“These guys have done so many crimes, and they let them out of jail,” he said. “Right now, that’s something that I would be tough on right there.”
Asked recently which Senate committee assignments he’d seek should he win, Walker said he wants to focus on agriculture and “something with our military” and supporting veterans.

HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - Thousands more Hong Kongers applied for a new route to British citizenship in the second quarter, as the city's strict Covid-19 curbs fuel a population exodus that is undermining its economic outlook.
Between April and June, some 18,100 people applied for the British National (Overseas) programme, according to figures released by the British government Thursday (Aug 25).
While that marked a 7 per cent dip from the previous three months, when the city imposed some of its strictest social-distancing measures and threatened to mass test all residents, it was a 15 per cent increase from the final quarter of 2021.
Britain introduced the visa programme in January 2021 after Beijing imposed a national security law on the former British colony, a move Prime Minister Boris Johnson described as a "serious breach" of the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration that guaranteed Hong Kongers certain freedoms for 50 years.
Officials in London estimated then that more than 320,000 people could take up the offer within five years. Britain said Thursday it has now received 140,500 applications, putting it on track to exceed that target, if applications continue at the current pace over the next three years.
Hong Kong is experiencing a population exodus. About 121,500 residents left in the year ending June 30, the largest outflow in at least six decades. Those departures have shrunk the labour force to a near record, threatening the pandemic recovery of the financial hub, which has been isolated by strict Covid-19 policies for more than two years.
While Chief Executive John Lee has taken steps to relax some measures, including suspending a controversial flight ban and cutting hotel quarantine for arrivals from seven to three days, the world beyond China is living with the virus.

Eddie Howe has revealed that Yasir Al-Rumayyan was 'very pleased' with the 'effort and commitment' Newcastle United showed against champions Man City.
Al-Rumayyan was in attendance for Newcastle's thrilling 3-3 draw last week as the club's non-executive chairman witnessed the Magpies go toe-to-toe with one of the best sides in the world at St James' Park. Newcastle went behind after just five minutes, after Ilkay Gundogan put the visitors in front, but Howe's side responded impressively and goals from Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier gave the black-and-whites a commanding lead before the hour mark.
Although City recovered to claim a point, thanks to goals from Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva, this was still Newcastle's best performance under Howe and their finest display since the takeover was completed last year. Al-Rumayyan had previously seen Newcastle beat Crystal Palace on Tyneside, but Sunday's game served as a real contrast to the defeats the Saudi witnessed against Spurs and Cambridge United last season. It was a timely reminder of the progress Newcastle have made and Al-Rumayyan made his way down to the tunnel with fellow part-owners Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi after the game to pass on his regards to Howe.

Howe has now opened up about that brief chat after the Newcastle boss was asked whether All-Rumayyan's visit aided his push for firepower following the club's record-breaking move for Real Sociedad star Alexander Isak.
"I saw him very briefly after the game," Howe told reporters. "He was in good spirits. He was very proud of the team. He was very pleased with the effort and commitment shown. I don't know if that helps us in the transfer market or not, but it certainly left him with a good feeling."

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has called on Argentine President Alberto Fernandez and discussed measures for making trade ties more sustainable and ambitious as well as the potential for bilateral cooperation in defence and nuclear energy.
Jaishankar, who arrived here on Thursday the final leg of his maiden official visit to three Latin American countries, also met Economy Minister Sergio Massa and exchanged views on economic cooperation.
"Glad to meet @SergioMassa, Minister of Economy of Argentina. Appreciate his positive outlook towards expanding our economic cooperation," Jaishankar tweeted.
After meeting Argentine President Fernndez, Jaishankar said, "Thank President @alferdez for receiving me. Conveyed the greetings of PM @narendramodi."
They discussed strengthening bilateral cooperation, including making trade levels more sustainable and ambitious.
They also exchange views on energy and food security, "both from the perspective of the global south and our bilateral ties."
They underlined the importance of affordable healthcare, including pharmaceuticals. The two leaders also exchanged views on the potential for defence cooperation as well as in nuclear energy.
This is Jaishankar's first-ever official visit to South America. He has already visited Paraguay and Brazil.
Jaishankar's visit to these 3 countries will provide an opportunity to continue the ongoing high-level engagements with India's partners in Latin America, explore new areas of cooperation in the post-pandemic era, and exchange views on issues of bilateral and international significance, the Ministry of External Affairs said ahead of his trip.

Satellite monitoring detected 3,358 fires on Monday, 22 August, the highest number for any 24-hour period since September 2007, according to the Brazilian space agency, INPE.
RIO DE JANEIRO - The number of forest fires in the Brazilian Amazon hit a nearly 15-year high this week, according to official figures that provided the latest warning on the advancing destruction of the world's biggest rainforest.
Satellite monitoring detected 3,358 fires on Monday, 22 August, the highest number for any 24-hour period since September 2007, according to the Brazilian space agency, INPE.
The number was nearly triple that recorded on the so-called "Day of Fire" - 10 August 2019 - when farmers launched a coordinated plan to burn huge amounts of felled rainforest in the northern state of Para.
Then, fires sent thick gray smoke all the way to Sao Paulo, some 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles) away, and triggered a global outcry over images of one of Earth's most vital resources burning.
There is no indication that Monday's fires were coordinated, said Alberto Setzer, head of INPE's fire monitoring program.
Rather, they appear to fit a pattern of increasing deforestation and burning, he said.
Experts say Amazon fires are caused mainly by illegal farmers, ranchers and speculators clearing land and torching the trees.
In Brazil, the so-called "arc of deforestation" has been advancing.
"The regions where the most fires are occurring are moving farther and farther north," Setzer told AFP.
"The 'arc of deforestation' is undoubtedly evolving."
August is typically when fire season starts in earnest in the Amazon, with the arrival of drier weather.
This has been a worrying year so far for the forest, a key buffer against global warming: INPE detected 5,373 fires last month, up eight percent from July last year.
And with 24,124 fires so far this month, it is on track to be the worst August under President Jair Bolsonaro - though well below the 63,764 fires detected in August 2005, the worse for the month since records began in 1998.
Bolsonaro, an agribusiness ally, faces international criticism for a surge in Amazon destruction on his watch. Since he took office in January 2019, average annual deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has increased by 75 percent compared to the previous decade.
The far-right president rejects that criticism.
"None of those who are attacking us have the right. If they wanted a pretty forest to call their own, they should have preserved the ones in their countries," he wrote on Twitter Thursday.
"The Amazon belongs to Brazilians, and always will."
But with Bolsonaro running for reelection in October, the destruction risks accelerating, said Ane Alencar, director of science at the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM).
"We know from previous years that there is a link between elections and deforestation," with officials and enforcement agencies distracted by the campaign, she said.
This year, "we have high rates of deforestation... and there are still lots of felled trees waiting to burn." | https://ewn.co.za/2022/08/26/brazil-records-worst-day-for-amazon-fires-in-15-years | 2022-08-26T05:43:59Z | https://ewn.co.za/2022/08/26/brazil-records-worst-day-for-amazon-fires-in-15-years | true | 11 |
The leader of Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad accused Israel on Thursday of reneging on its commitments under the truce agreement that ended a three-day conflict this month.
Ziad Al Nakhala's televised comments came as the armed group held simultaneous rallies in the Gaza Strip, Damascus and Beirut, weeks after violence was halted by an Egyptian-brokered truce.
"The enemy is still evading the commitments it made to our brothers in Egypt," Mr Al Nakhala said.
"The enemy government must bear full responsibility for that."
Israel said its air strikes launched on August 5 on positions of the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad in Gaza were a "pre-emptive" operation to avert an imminent attack.
In response, Islamic Jihad fired more than 1,000 rockets, but many of them either hit farmland or were intercepted by Israel's air defence system.
In the Gaza Strip, according to the enclave's health ministry, 49 Palestinians were killed, 17 of them children, and more than 350 wounded.
In Israel, shrapnel wounded three people.

Islamic Jihad said the truce included an Egyptian commitment to work towards the release of two prisoners — Bassem Al Saadi, a senior figure in the group's political wing, and militant Khalil Awawdeh.
Mr Al Saadi, who was arrested on August 1 in the occupied West Bank, was charged in an Israeli military court of affiliation with the Islamic Jihad, as well as "incitement and aiding contact with enemy elements", the army said on Thursday.
It said Mr Al Saadi received Islamic Jihad funding from Gaza and had called for Palestinian attacks on Israelis.

Mr Awawdeh, 40, from the southern West Bank, has been held without charge by Israel since December and been refusing food since March, apart from a few days.
He is being held in custody in an Israeli hospital and is said to be in critical condition.
Israel's Supreme Court on Sunday rejected an appeal to release Mr Awawdeh from custody on the grounds that the army had agreed to freeze his administrative detention while he stayed in hospital.
He has vowed to keep up the protest fast until his detention is revoked. | https://www.thenationalnews.com/mena/2022/08/26/gaza-militants-accuse-israel-of-reneging-on-truce-deal/ | 2022-08-26T05:45:05Z | https://www.thenationalnews.com/mena/2022/08/26/gaza-militants-accuse-israel-of-reneging-on-truce-deal/ | false | 1 |

Well, it’s clear our political leaders can’t settle their differences on their own accord – with almost every issue that crops up. Your Eyewitness knows that, in our adversarial politics, the Leader of the Opposition (LoO) is supposed to oppose the Government (duh!!). But jeez, isn’t there a limit, so SOME business of the state can proceed?? When does opposition become intransigence??
So, the LoO went to the Courts – perpetuating the “judicialization of politics”. And risks dragging our constitutional arbiter into the gutter by imputing POLITICAL motives for their JUDICIAL decisions!! Take the just-delivered decision by the Chief Justice (ag) on whether the President’s appointments to the Police Service Commission (PoSC) and the Integrity Commission were illegal – as claimed by the LoO. And, inter alia, whether the appointments made by the said PoSC weren’t also consequently illegal!!
Your Eyewitness must confess that even after reading three different accounts of the CJ’s decision three times each, his head’s still spinning!! Not the least because both the Police Service Commission and the Public Service Commission had the same acronym (PSC) – explaining why yours truly dubbed the former “PoSC”!! It’s a good thing the Private Sector Commission (also PSC!) wasn’t dragged into the matter.
The entire case turned on whether there were the constitutionally mandated “meaningful consultations” between Pressie and the LoO before these Commissions were constituted. On the matter of LoO Norton’s contention of “no consultation”, the CJ said “Not so!!” The clincher was that even after the clarifications on Pressie’s nominations were given to him, if he needed additional info, he’d unilaterally decided he wasn’t gonna be doing no meeting!! The President should be psychic??
But that wasn’t the END of the story. Is there ever?? Seems that even though the Integrity Commission and its Chair was a done legal deal, the appointments by the PoSC weren’t!! While the appointment of the CHAIR was legit, before he could consult his Committee to make recommendations for appointments, an ex-officio member of the PoSC – the Chairman of the Public Service Commission – had to be there!! And trouble was – BIG trouble! – there’s wasn’t any Chairman of the PSC!!
So, does this mean that the appointment of the entire GPF top brass – the real cause of this fight!!! – is illegal?? Well, YES IT IS!! But does this mean that COP Hicken has to go?? Well…NO!! “Well, how come?” you ask, dear reader?? The CJ (ag) pulled out a rabbit from her legal hat (used to be a powdered wig!!). She invoked the “de facto doctrine” which your Eyewitness calls the “boat gaan a watah” doctrine!! To revoke the appointment would result in a “failure of public justice”!!
This ain’t over till it’s over!! Or some fat lady sings!!
…or creating conflicts??
The LoO also drew a line in the sand – demanding that GECOM’s gotta create a new voters’ list, or else!! He didn’t ACTUALLY SAY “big trouble”, but the WAY he said it left nothing in doubt, least of all, PNC’s supporters!! Now ostensibly, the LoO’s contention looks reasonable: Guyana has a population of 740,000, so how come the voters’ list has 684,354 names – over 91 per cent of the population.
But, in August 2019, the High Court ruled new house-to-house registration meant a “residency requirement” for voting!! Unconstitutional!! Once a person’s registered to vote, their name can’t be removed, even if they’re overseas or not found at the address where they registered. Most of the alleged “bloating” comes from Guyanese citizens migrating.
The Coalition Government had appealed this decision, and on 11 Feb 2020, the Court of Appeal upheld the August 2019 High Court decision.
To remove persons’ names from the list, there’s gotta be an amendment to the Constitution, outlawing dual citizenship!!
…like our neighbours
Barbados just voted with a voters’ list of 266,330 persons – 87% of its 302,674 population! While St Kitts/Nevis voted with a 50,933 voters’ list comprised of 94% of its 54,001 population!!
No complaints of “bloated” lists!! What’s different?? | https://www.inewsguyana.com/eyewitness-settling-conflictsin-the-courts/ | 2022-08-26T05:57:51Z | https://www.inewsguyana.com/eyewitness-settling-conflictsin-the-courts/ | true | 3 |
JOPLIN, Mo. — With the academic year just getting started at Four State universities, it may be too early to say what enrollment numbers will be. But if they are down, don’t be surprised. According to a survey, high school graduates going to college is on the decline across the nation in the last few years, a primary factor for that, the COVID pandemic.
A non-profit organization called “ECMC Group”, found that more than half of teens are open to something other than a four-year college degree. But without a college diploma, how will they break into the job market?
Steve Reed says a couple of the programs Franklin Tech Offers, have had waiting lists during that same time frame including welding and auto-tech.
“The cost of college continues to rise, students are really taking a serious look at this area, I mean it’s, we have a lot of opportunities for students, lot of programs, certification right out of high school, that can get your foot in the door, it may not be the end all of end all but it will get your foot in the door and get you started in your career,” said Steve Reed, Assistant Director, Franklin Tech Center.
A good example is Luke Smith, who will be able to get his foot in the door with his certifications through Franklin Tech.
“You get certifications through this and you learn a whole lot about cars and the car industry so if you don’t have to go to collage and spend a whole bunch of money, then you know, that’s definitely an option,” said Smith.
Between the strong labor market and the increasing cost of college, some teens like smith are opting for shorter, cheaper, career connected pathways like franklin tech.
“And I do plan on going to a trade school and furthering my education in the auto field,” he added.
Another non-college option for young people is to get specialized, short-term training for several different occupations, like construction and fork lift training. Those have been offered periodically through programs at Missouri Career Centers, including their location in Joplin. | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/joplin-news/more-students-going-to-trade-programs/ | 2022-08-26T06:00:22Z | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/joplin-news/more-students-going-to-trade-programs/ | false | 1 |

A novel from Jilly Cooper’s raunchy Rutshire Chronicles series is set to be adapted for an “outrageously bold” Disney+ series.
The 85-year-old author is best known for her often erotic romance novels which capture the drama and excess of Britain’s affluent elite.
Rivals, published in 1988 and one of 10 novels from the Rutshire Chronicles series, will be adapted into an eight-part series of the same name, featuring Cooper’s notorious lothario Rupert Campbell-Black.
Historical romance series Bridgerton, which was also based on a series of novels, was launched on Netflix in 2020 and was an instant hit thanks to its raunchy scenes and extravagant costumes.
Rivals will explore the cutthroat world of independent television in 1986 as a long-standing rivalry between two of fictional Rutshire County’s most powerful men is on the cusp of boiling over.
Former Olympian, MP and womaniser Rupert will lock horns with neighbour Tony Baddingham, controller of the independent TV franchise Corinium Television.
As the rivalry intensifies, secrets, alliances and snatched liaisons see wives, lovers, colleagues, friends and families drawn into the battle.
Cooper will be an executive producer on the series, along with Dominic Treadwell-Collins, Alexander Lamb, Felicity Blunt and Laura Wade.
Cooper said: “I am so, so excited. Throughout my childhood, my favourite word was ‘Disney’, and by a miraculous coincidence, greater-than-ever Disney are joining forces with an utterly brilliant drama company, Happy Prince, to turn my novel into a TV series.
“I know they will bring the boardroom battles and love triangles of my characters to life – particularly those of my devastatingly handsome hero.
“I cannot wait to see who will be stepping into his shoes… let the hunt for our Rupert Campbell-Black commence!”
In addition to the mischief, larger-than-life characters and steamy love stories, Disney has said Rivals will “bring a 2020s lens to the 1980s, offering a raw exploration of a complicated moment in British history when class, race, sex, wealth and sexual liberation meant that, for the very privileged few, there were no limits to what they could achieve”.
Writer and executive producer Treadwell-Collins, best known for his work on EastEnders, said: “I have been wooing Jilly Cooper since I first started working in television.
“Jilly’s iconic novels’ razor-sharp observations on class, sex, love and what it means to be British resonate even more today than when Jilly wrote them in the 1980s.
“I’m so excited to bring Rivals to the screen, entertain fans of the beloved Cooperverse and introduce a whole new generation to the sweeping love stories, social satire and biting wit of Rutshire.”
The first novel in the Rutshire Chronicles series, Riders, was adapted into a TV film in 1993, starring Marcus Gilbert as Rupert Campbell-Black.
The new series will premiere on Disney+ in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific and Star+ in Latin America. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/entertainment/tv-film/4708174/steamy-jilly-cooper-novel-to-be-adapted-for-new-disney-series-rivals/ | 2022-08-26T06:07:34Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/entertainment/tv-film/4708174/steamy-jilly-cooper-novel-to-be-adapted-for-new-disney-series-rivals/ | false | 5 |
Steve McManaman has said Liverpool’s Champions League group stage draw is ‘possibly the most difficult’ of the British teams - and picked their clashes with Rangers as fixtures to look forward to.
Jurgen Klopp’s side learned of their group stages opponents on Thursday night after the draw in Istanbul - the host city of the final and the first in Turkey since the famous night in 2005. They will face Dutch champions Ajax as well as Napoli and Rangers in Group A.
Reds fans will have been relieved to avoid the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain from the top-seeded pot and will meet a regular European opponent in the Italian outfit Napoli. But a meeting with Giovanni van Bronckhorst's Rangers will be the first between the two in European competition - and McManaman has backed the clash between the two British outfits as the pick of a ‘difficult’ group stage campaign.

“Liverpool’s draw is possibly the most difficult of the British teams,” McManaman told BT Sport. “They played against Ajax and Napoli in recent years. Tough places to go but they’re not the teams they once were.
“Ajax have sold a lot of their key players but Liverpool v Rangers stands out. It’s brilliant, I’m really looking forward to it. Sometimes you need something to catch your imagination and I think all the British teams have got away with a difficult one, but it’s great to see Liverpool and Rangers - of course Liverpool fans will be happy going up to Glasgow.”
Liverpool’s Premier League rivals also enjoyed favourable draws, with Manchester City up against Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund and FC Copenhagen. Chelsea were placed in Group E alongside AC Milan, RB Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb while Tottenham drew Eintracht Frankfurt, Sporting Lisbon and Marseille.
The opening gameweek will take place on September 6 and 7.

In 1978, Peggy Daidakis joined the Baltimore Convention Center just ahead of the facility’s grand opening in 1979. Just eight years later, Daidakis stepped into the role of executive director — the first woman to do so at a U.S. convention center. Since then, Daidakis’ steadfast dedication to her facility has earned her a legion of awards and accolades, as well as given her a catbird-seat view of an industry that, although evolving, is still firmly rooted in the same mission — customer service. “Technology may have changed,” she said, but “the expectations of excellent service have not.”
What has moved forward but still needs improvement is equity in leadership roles in the industry. “When I was at the beginning stages of my career journey, I watched the men advance and get paid more and felt the inequity in our profession,” she said. “I still think there is inequity, but the gap is closing and I hope I can continue to help close it for our future female leaders.” In this final installment of our series about women leaders in venue management, Daidakis shares more on what it was like to lead a convention center more than 35 years ago and what she’s looking forward to next.
You were the first woman to take on the top executive role at a U.S. convention center. What was that like? How have you seen the industry change since then?
The industry was quite different in 1986 when I was appointed the first female director. There were fewer venues and women were not attracted to the operations side of the business. I did not realize the magnitude of the appointment at the time. I believe today there are more opportunities to advance, and I am interested in mentoring young women about taking advantage of these opportunities.
Where is there still room for improvement in terms of equity in leadership in venue management?
Part of the responsibility, I believe, is on the person to learn the various aspects of the industry and to push themselves out of their comfort zone. Leadership skills develop through identifying with individuals they admire and respect and learning from them. I do not believe there is a book or course that will make someone a good leader. I took the time to be mentored and met with people who I believed were good role models for me and my personality.
The meetings and events industry has taken many twists and turns over the last two years. Can you talk a little bit about how you have weathered that personally and from a leadership perspective? Are there ways in which you found yourself thinking differently as a result of the ongoing challenges to the meetings industry?
I am proud that I have served under nine mayoral administrations. When there was a change in leadership, I made sure that I learned the priorities of the new mayor and the team and adjusted accordingly. However, I would not compromise my commitment to provide the best team, the best service, and to be honest with the administration about what made our organization important to the city and state. I had to gain the trust and it looks like I did well. Regarding the industry specifically — I do not feel that much has changed. We are in the customer service business. Technology may have changed, the expectations of excellent service have not.
You retire next month. What advice do you have for young people entering the field right now, and what advice do you have to up-and-coming leaders following your footsteps?
I have worked for the city for 49 years and for [Baltimore Convention Center] for 44 years. It is so unusual for young people to think of working for the same company for more than a few [years] nowadays. I want to continue to work with young people, especially through International Association of Venue Managers’ (IAVM) mentoring program, to help them set their goals and share my experiences that will encourage them to consider venue management as a career choice. There are so many choices today and once you have the hospitality profession in your blood, it is hard to let go of it.
What’s the best piece of advice you were given in your career journey? Worst?
The best advice I received was from my mother. She advised me to stay the course, continue to work hard, be honest and transparent, and to be the best I could be. I should not worry about others, and I would be rewarded for who I am and what I have contributed. I can honestly say that she was right.
The worst? Can’t really think of one.
Can you share the moment that you think was your biggest career highlight? Biggest learning moment?
One of the biggest highlights of my career was being inducted into the Convention Industry Council (now Events Industry Council) Hall of Leaders. It was such an honor to represent the organization and the City of Baltimore for my achievements. Most of all, I was humbled that my staff nominated me. Biggest learning moment? I learn something every day. I cannot point out any one “ah-hah” moment.

Heather Rae El Moussa Slams Critic Who Says Her Husband Tarek Is Her ‘Entire Personality’
Come correct. Selling Sunset realtor Heather Rae El Moussa (née Young) clapped back at a Twitter user who implied that she may be into her husband, Tarek El Moussa, a little too much.
“Heather Rae Young really made her husband her entire personality,” the online user tweeted on Sunday, August 21. The reality star noticed the post a few days later and responded, “No girl, It’s called true love. That most people never get to experience. Lucky enough I found one of the most incredible men out there.”
Fans came to the California native’s defense and praised her bond with the Flip or Flop star, claiming that she won in life. “Heather do you girl, people will always be jealous of what you have & stoop low to tear it down. Ignore the haters, You’re doing amazing!” a Twitter user responded.
Heather, 34, and Tarek, 41, have been inseparable ever since they met at a 4th of July boat party in 2019, one year before he popped the big question. After getting married in October 2021, as shown during an episode of Selling Sunset, the pair were eager to grow their family.
The upcoming “Flipping El Moussas” star has been a fantastic stepmother to Tarek’s children, Taylor, 11, and Brayden, 7, whom he shares with ex-wife Christina Hall and will soon welcome baby No. 1.
Heather announced she was pregnant in July and shared that the soon-to-be big siblings can’t wait for the little one to join their family. “The most fun part of it all is how sweet and supportive Tay and Bray have been. They try to guess the gender and are having so much fun coming up with names,” she wrote via Instagram alongside pictures from her maternity shoot. “And it’s so cute, Bray comes up to me every day we have the kids and says ‘how big is your baby today’ And he’ll put his ear to my belly and say ‘I can hear the baby’ My heart!!!!”
However, the kiddos don’t have to guess the sex of the baby anymore, after they found out Heather is having a baby boy. The family popped massive confetti cannons during their July gender reveal and seemed pretty happy with the outcome.
“I can’t believe we’re blessed with having a beautiful baby boy. I genuinely thought I was prepared for how I would feel when I found out but nothing could have prepared me for the butterflies in my stomach when I saw the blue confetti,” she said via Instagram. “Overwhelmed with excitement and a little bit of nervousness but we can’t wait to hold our baby boy El Moussa in our arms – Tarek and I can’t stop smiling and talking about it.” | https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/heather-rae-el-moussa-slams-critic-over-husband-tarek-diss/ | 2022-08-26T06:24:36Z | https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/heather-rae-el-moussa-slams-critic-over-husband-tarek-diss/ | false | 2 |
Today, our resident horoscope expert Russell Grant tells one star sign to steer clear of argumentative conversations, while another gets pushed in the right direction by a senior colleague.
Russell has plenty more to say after analysing the stars, and below you will find exactly what the universe has in store for you today, Friday, August 26.
Aries
Don’t be too impulsive with your cash. What looks like a bargain could turn out to be a big waste of money. Someone will use information they hear for their advantage and it doesn’t seem to bother them who they might hurt in the process.
Taurus
Help will be offered by someone you least expected. What’s most surprising is that they are going out of their way to assist you. Their desire to ease your load is genuine and should not be treated with suspicion. A text message will take you by surprise.
Gemini
An offer made to you by someone at a social gathering will be sincere. You half expect them to forget about their promise to get in touch with you again but they won’t and when they do they will be expecting you to have made a definite decision.
Cancer
Someone will try to influence your decisions. Choices you are considering are yours alone to make and once you’ve decided on what you want to do there is absolutely no way anyone will be able to talk you out of it. When it comes to looking after your own interests you can be surprisingly stubborn.
Leo
A close relationship has developed so naturally that when you look back on all you have experienced so far it will be hard to think of a time when you felt awkward with each other. It’s as if you met in a previous life and you feel so good when you are together.
Virgo
Steer well clear of subjects that cause contention and keep out of argumentative conversations. Your boss or a senior colleague is giving you a hard time even though you cannot think of anything you may have done to upset them. Keep well out of their way.
Libra
You have a goal in mind and you want to reach it. One way to do so will be to ignore distractions going on around you. If you’ve been considering starting a diet or new exercise regime instead of just thinking about it, do something about it. You will feel more energised as a result.
Scorpio
Conversations with online friends, or memories that come up on your social media page will remind you of something that happened this time last year. This will draw your attention to how far you have come since then. You should feel proud of your achievements.
Sagittarius
Someone is acting mysteriously. You are intrigued. You know they are trying to get your attention but at the same time, there is something secretive going on and you want to know what it is. If you aren’t in the mood for certain chores, accept all helpful offers that come your way.
Capricorn
A senior colleague will give you a push in the right direction. An offer they make you is a one you won’t want to refuse. This is your chance to make something of your career. Have patience with a talkative friend who feels they have some juicy gossip to share.
Aquarius
If there’s something you feel you have to do, get on with it. You don’t have to seek permission from anyone. As it is you can’t seem to get a word in edgeways when a bossy friend or relative insists you listen to their views while your opinions don’t seem to matter to them.
Pisces
You’re rushed off your feet and unlike a listless friend whose reluctant to learn new skills, you will be having great fun doing something new. You aren’t bothered that you already have a lot on your plate, if you’re keen to learn more, somehow you will find a way to fit it all in.

Drake already ditched his braids for a new look donning a man bun.
The OVO rapper has mastered the art of reinventing himself, at least when it comes to his look and his music; you can always expect something different and new from Drake. The rapper is currently on vacation in Turks and Caicos with some famous friends, including Popcaan and Lil Yachty, but it’s his new man bun fans are talking about.
Drake shared some photos of his new hairdo and even a video of himself getting his hair done. “Give this guy a name,” he wrote in one of the posts of him sitting around a gambling table. His recent gambling habits have not gone unnoticed since he has been putting up some pretty big bets.
Of course, Drake limits his comment section to primarily his celebrity friends, so you will find a lot of famous names dropping suggestions. Popcaan wrote, “Big pimpin me killy.” Migos rapper Quavo also shared his reaction saying, “RAZOR AUBREY RAMONE aka SCOTT HALL.”
In another post, Drizzy wrote, “Other than myself…everything has changed.” In that post, the rapper shared several videos and photos of what he and the guys are doing in the Caribbean. At least once or twice a year, Drake load up his private jet and fly to his favorite Caribbean island, Turks and Caicos, for vacation, where he rents out an entire villa.
On a few occasions, the Toronto rapper made a stop in Jamaica, where he extended his vacation by linking with Popcaan.
In March, Drake popped up with cornrows in his hair ahead of his latest album, Honestly Nevermind. It seems that move was in gearing up for his album drop. He usually switches things up a bit when he is about to drop new music, and let’s not forget that he teased a mixtape drop after his album received mixed reviews from fans. | https://haitigazette.com/drakes-man-bun-ignites-the-internet-popcaan-and-quavo-reacts/ | 2022-08-26T06:40:25Z | https://haitigazette.com/drakes-man-bun-ignites-the-internet-popcaan-and-quavo-reacts/ | true | 10 |
Artist Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran on ‘the framework of success for a good Asian’
By Benjamin Law
Each week, Benjamin Law asks public figures to discuss the subjects we’re told to keep private by getting them to roll a die. The numbers they land on are the topics they’re given. This week, he talks to Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran. The Sri Lankan-born Australian artist, 33, is best known for his brightly-coloured ceramic figures, which have been shown in public galleries and last month at Vivid Sydney. His monograph, Ramesh, is out now.
SEX
Was your family more concerned about you being queer or being an artist – or neither? It was almost like it was lumped into one package. Part of the artist package was this idea of an unconventional lifestyle. It’s quite confusing, for recent migrants especially, to understand how people with creative lifestyles can actually have stable incomes, flourish and be valued in society.
And was that package confronting for anyone? It was totally confronting. Go to university, have some kind of STEM education, don’t leave home until you can get a mortgage, then get married and have kids: that’s the framework of success for a good Asian person. It’s interesting. I also have an ongoing position at the University of NSW as a lecturer. When I was appointed there in 2017, it was like, “Okay, he’s been recognised by a sandstone university.”
Are you partnered or single at the moment? Single.
And ready to mingle? Yeah! Pretty much.
What are three criteria you’re looking for in a partner? Ambitious. Interested in food – I can’t do people who don’t like food; what would I even do with them? [laughs] And chilled – because I’m not!
True or false: artists are good lovers. True [laughs]. Lots of artists lack boundaries. Which sometimes translates well in the bedroom.
POLITICS
“All art is political.” Discuss. So much art conforms to the status quo. And not every cultural object that comes out into the world reflects political and social environments. There is so much art that is completely orthodox. Just because it might be some weird performance doesn’t make it challenging or progressive.
So in there I hear the implication that not all art is political … but good art should be? When I talk about these kinds of value terms – like “good” and “bad” – it’s just like a recipe to get cancelled [laughs]. Personally, I’m interested in art that’s authentic. Authentic expressions come from having interesting life experiences. And to make interesting art you have to be an interesting person. I’m not saying you need to be some radical zealot. All I’m saying is that you need to have some nuanced, interesting perspective on the world, and ideas, to be able to make interesting, engaging artwork. And most people don’t.
Does the idea of being cancelled make you anxious? I’m quite confident that my opinions aren’t harmful. But I often have very critical opinions and it’s important to be careful with how they’re expressed, because there’s a difference sometimes between what people say and what they mean. As an artist, you’re making an artwork, not writing an essay. [Artworks] can be interpreted in ways that might become mobilised in a certain cultural or political or social climate, in a way that you didn’t intend. So when I talk about being cancelled, I kind of say it in jest. You know what it’s like: some days you might get an Instagram comment that’s a death threat and you don’t care. And on other days, they say, “Why does this thing look like a five-year-old did it?” and you want to cry!
How optimistic are you about how the arts will fare under this new federal government? Of course I’m more confident with this government, but I don’t want to count my chickens. What I’ve tried to think laterally about – or be open about – are things like private sponsorship and collaborations, because there’s almost a sense that [art] is less ideological in that space.
At the same time, corporate and philanthropic private donations can be fraught, right? If I’m going to accept government support, or work with a national or state institution, to fund my commission … I’m pretty sure the federal government is funding detention centres. So I don’t understand how to be ethical when accepting support and money when I’m making an artwork – and I’m happy to acknowledge that. But also it’s about the artwork that you can make with that support. I feel that there’s power in visibility and presence.
DEATH
How do you feel about the idea of your artwork outliving you? A comfort or a kind of existential horror? Oh my god, it’s both. When I go into museums, a lot of trendy young people of colour are not into white male modernists – and rightly so. Matisse? Nup! Not interested. This is the sentiment. What’s hard to deal with is understanding that in a couple of hundred years, I’ll have these big installations in museums and young people will be like, “Nup!”
So it’s not the idea of the work outliving you; it’s the notion the work outlives you … and becomes passé. Yeah, and it will! That’s just the way it works. It’ll become a historical record of a time – a record of sculptural practice from 2022.
When art becomes artefact. Yeah! And I don’t think it’ll be that interesting.
How would you like to die? Painlessly.
How would you not like to die? Slowly.
Plan your funeral for me. I don’t want anything religious. I want to be cremated. There has to be lots of food. I don’t want people to have to wear really nice clothes; they should just come as they are. And I don’t want long speeches! Two or three minutes each.

(The Hill) – Google in a letter to lawmakers on Thursday said it would clearly identify facilities that provide abortions to ensure people seeking the procedure are not misled by anti-abortion clinics.
Mark Isakowitz, the vice president for government affairs and public policy for the U.S. and Canada at Google, said in a letter to Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) that the company will include labels like “Provides abortions” and “Does not provide abortions” that the company has verified at the top of advertisement search results.
The change could help prevent women from seeking the procedure at clinics that oppose abortion or crisis pregnancy centers, which work to convince people against having the procedure.
The announcement comes in response to a letter Warner, Slotkin and other members of Congress sent to the CEO of Google in June to urge him to prevent misleading abortion search results.
The lawmakers said in the letter that 37 percent of Google Maps results and 11 percent of search results for “abortion clinics near me” and “abortion pill” in states with abortion trigger bans were for anti-abortion clinics.
A Google spokesperson told The Hill that the company has been working for months to find more useful ways to display results that show the specific services that businesses offer.
The spokesperson said the update that Google is introducing will help users find locations that offer the services they search for or broaden their results so they can see more options. The company will confirm that certain places provide a service through regularly calling them directly and collaborating with “authoritative” data sources.
“When people turn to Google to find local information, we aim to help them easily explore the range of places available so they can determine which are most helpful to them,” the spokesperson said.
The updates will affect how Google shows search results and maps to give people additional context about what they are viewing, according to a Google spokesperson.
The company will include the note “Might not provide abortions” when it is unable to verify information.
Google will also allow users to expand their search radius if the most relevant results are not nearby.
Warner said in a release that the changes are not about restricting speech but providing results that accurately address a search.
“I welcome the changes that Google has announced today so that women seeking abortion services aren’t directed towards fake clinics that traffic in misinformation and don’t provide comprehensive health services,” he said. | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/us-and-world/roe-v-wade/google-to-clearly-label-facilities-that-provide-abortions-2/ | 2022-08-26T06:49:30Z | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/us-and-world/roe-v-wade/google-to-clearly-label-facilities-that-provide-abortions-2/ | true | 32 |

DOJ Finally Releases 2019 Memo Absolving Trump of Everything Documented in Mueller Report
The Justice Department has released a 2019 memo that put to rest any prosecution of former President Donald Trump over allegations contained in the Mueller report.
Special counsel Robert Mueller, whose investigation was criticized by Trump, was hired to probe allegations of collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia. He found no such connections.
However, Mueller’s report cited 10 instances in which he believed there could have been possible obstruction of justice, without saying if they merited prosecution, according to NBC News.
That prompted a DOJ review, which culminated in the nine-page memo released Wednesday. The memo said there was no justification to prosecute Trump for obstruction of justice.
The memo was released after the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a Freedom of Information lawsuit. The DOJ opposed the request, but lost the case in court, NPR reported.
The memo said Trump’s requests to fire Mueller were made “not for an illegal purpose, but rather because he believed the investigation was politically motivated and undermined his administration’s efforts to govern.”
The memo stressed that Trump wanted to end the distractions caused by the probe.
“The President’s public statements could be viewed as efforts to defend himself from public criticism related to the Special Counsel’s investigation or to discourage the witnesses from making what the President believed might be false statements in exchange for a lesser sentence. Those statements do not warrant a prosecution for obstruction of justice,” the memo said.
“In the absence of an underlying offense, the most compelling inference in evaluating the President’s conduct is that he reasonably believed that the Special Counsel’s investigation was interfering with his governing agenda.
“Even if the President were objectively wrong about the intentions of the Special Counsel, many, if not all, of his actions could be viewed as lacking the intent element under the relevant statutes,” the memo said.
The memo touched on Trump’s dismissal of FBI Director James Comey and a comment he made to Comey related to an investigation of former national security advisor Michael Flynn.
“The President’s expression of ‘hope’ that Comey would ‘let this go’ did not clearly direct a particular action in the Flynn investigation, and Comey did not react at the time as though he had received a direct order from the President,” the memo said.
The result, the memo said, was that prosecution was not warranted.
“A fair evaluation of the special council’s findings and legal theories weighs in favor of declining prosecution,” the memo said.
“While cataloguing actions that the president took, many of which took place in public view, the report identifies no actions that, in our judgment, constituted obstructive acts, done with a nexus to a pending proceeding, with the corrupt intent necessary to warrant prosecution under the obstruction-of-justice statutes.”
Mueller’s “thorough investigation did not establish that the President committed any underlying crime related to Russian interference,” the memo said, noting that “it would be rare for federal prosecutors to bring an obstruction prosecution that did not itself arise out of a proceeding related to a separate crime.”
“Having reviewed the Report in light of the governing legal principles, and the Principles of Federal Prosecution, we conclude that none of these instances would warrant a prosecution for obstruction of justice, without regard to the constitutional constraint on bringing such an action against a sitting president,” the memo said.
“In addition, we believe that certain of the conduct examined by the Special Counsel could not, as a matter of law, support an obstruction charge under the circumstances.”
