Without naming anyone, McConnell cited “candidate quality” as a factor — an apparent swipe at struggling Trump-endorsed candidates like Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania, Herschel Walker in Georgia, and J.D.

George Harrison Said 1 of His Songs Could’ve Had a Good Dance Routine
George Harrison said one of his songs could’ve had a good dance routine. Not many of George’s songs are danceable, but you could dance if you feel like it.
George Harrison said one of his songs could’ve had a good dance routine
Granted, George was known for writing love songs and some of the most spiritual tunes, but he did know how to write danceable songs too. In a 1992 interview with Timothy White (per George Harrison on George Harrison: Interviews and Encounters), George said his song “Teardrops” could’ve had a good dance routine.
“That’s quite a nice song,” George said. “That could be done by some black group, because you could make a good dance routine to that one.”
“Teardrops” isn’t a typical George Harrison song, considering its heavy keyboards and pop tones. It’s a surprise the former Beatle even recorded it. George was not a fan of pop music by any means. The genre made him feel “uptight.” Regardless, it could’ve had a good dance routine.
George added that his song “Baby Don’t Run Away,” from his 1982 album, Gone Troppo, could’ve been a great R&B hit.
Many different genres inspired George and his songs
Lots of different genres inspired George and his songs. If pop lent its sound to “Teardrops,” it could have done to others.
Indian music lent its sounds to songs like “The Inner Light” and “Within You Without You.” George wanted to write a great modern rock ‘n’ roll song after seeing Eurymcs perform; he wrote “Devil’s Radio.” After hearing Bob Marley’s music, he tried making “Crackerbox Palace,” a reggae song.
Whatever genre inspired George, more often than not, his lyrics had a religious theme. If he wasn’t singing about his love of God, he sang of his love for a woman, which, in his eyes, was the same thing. George didn’t care about a song’s genre as long as it had a good message. Plus, he hated being pigeonholed into one anyway.
The former Beatle said The Traveling Wilburys’ debut album was danceable
George has other danceable songs along with “Teardrops.”
In a 1988 interview with MTV, George explained The Traveling Wilburys’ debut, The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, was danceable if you like to dance.
“There’s tunes that Bob had the most influence on, it sounds like him, and there’s a song which we wrote specifically for Roy, which is very much like an old Roy Orbison song,” George explained. “It’s not like we tried to set out to do something that wasn’t like going out and buying an album of mine or ELO or Tom Petty, Bob Dylan or Roy Orbison.
“We tried to combine everything, and it’s worked very well. I think it’s basically very up music; it’s very up. That is to say; it’s danceable if you like to dance. But it’s fun; it’s really good fun music. It says some funny things. The sound of it, because we all basically tend to dislike computers, and so it’s very wooden.”
George’s songs became whatever he wanted them to be, whether they were rock or danceable R&B.

Which earbuds are better?
Getting a new pair of earbuds might be more complicated than you think. There are several factors to consider before purchasing earbuds, but if you want to boil it down to two brands, Bose and Samsung are worth your attention. Bose is a leading brand for audio products, including earbuds. Samsung has only recently dipped its toes into those waters and now also offers high-quality earbuds.
How do they stack up against each other, though? Each brand offers several models, but there are differences in design, specs and build.
Bose earbuds
If you’re looking for a high-quality pair of new earbuds, Bose will not disappoint. Bose prides itself on making audio electronics that deliver high-fidelity sound and top-tier features. Bose earbuds range from $130-$200, with the only real difference among models being the build and design.
Bose earbuds pros
Bose uses high-quality tweeters and drivers to reproduce rich sound. If you listen to music such as hip-hop, reggae, jazz or funk, you’ll find that Bose earbuds deliver good bass for their size. They also have a broad soundstage, so music with prominent highs and lows sounds terrific as well.
Most Bose earbuds have an Ingress Protection rating indicating how water-resistant they are, which is an important consideration if you’re looking for a pair to work out with. They also offer good battery life, lasting five to seven hours on a single charge, and the ear tips are typically more comfortable than the ones that come packaged with most Samsung earbuds.
Bose earbuds cons
If you find Bose earbuds on sale, jump at the opportunity — they’re infamous for being expensive. You can find high-quality over-ear headphones by other brands for the same price as, or lower price than, Bose’s top earbuds.
Bose earbuds aren’t as sleek as Samsung earbuds and generally have a more robust build. This makes them more durable but can feel uncomfortable if you plan on using them for exercising.
Best Bose earbuds

These earbuds offer crisp high-fidelity audio and have an advanced acoustic system to deliver an immersive listening experience. They come with three sizes of comfortable StayHear Max ear tips, last up to six hours on a full charge and have simple touch controls.

Sold by Amazon
These earbuds are connected with a cord and designed to stay in your ears during tough workouts. They offer wireless connectivity via Bluetooth or near field communication, last up to six hours on a full charge and come with several Stay Hear+ Sport ear tips.
Sold by Amazon
Samsung earbuds
Samsung earbuds offer excellent audio quality and are designed to integrate with Android smartphones seamlessly. You can find a basic pair of Samsung wireless earbuds for $100, but if you want something with more premium features and a durable build, expect to spend up to $160.
Samsung earbuds pros
Samsung earbuds have a more sleek, stylish design than most Bose earbuds, and many users find them more comfortable and practical for exercising. As with the best Bose earbuds, the best Samsung earbuds have active noise-canceling for tuning out ambient noise and transparency modes for being more aware of your surroundings.
Samsung earbuds are more affordable than Bose earbuds and are an excellent choice for anyone working with a budget. They’re not cheap by any means, but they’re perfect if you’re looking to save a few bucks on quality earbuds.
Also, although Samsung earbuds are compatible with iOS devices and support various Bluetooth codecs, they work much better when paired with a device running Android 5.0. Specifically, they work best with Samsung smartphones since these offer more software support and diverse touch control functions.
Samsung earbuds cons
Samsung earbuds sound great but generally don’t offer the same bass as most Bose earbuds. Samsung earbuds’ battery life is typically poorer than Bose’s, but since they come with a wireless charging case, it’s not a huge concern for most users. Also, because of the integrated microphones in Bose earbuds, Samsung’s noise-canceling isn’t nearly as effective.
Best Samsung earbuds
These stylish earbuds have a 12-millimeter tweeter, long-lasting battery life and active noise-cancellation to block out ambient noise. They deliver spatial sound and impressive bass for their size, have an always-on voice assistant function and come in five colors.
Sold by Amazon
Intelligent active noise-cancellation lets users drown out noisy environments with a single touch of a button. The 11-millimeter woofer and 6.5-millimeter tweeter deliver rich sound, the call quality is crystal-clear and they have an IPX7 water-resistance rating, making them suitable for exercising.
Sold by Amazon
These earbuds have an Ambient Aware feature that lets you be more aware of your surroundings while listening to your favorite tunes. They have a three-microphone setup for high-quality sound during phone calls, touch controls for managing music playback and last 22 hours.
Sold by Amazon
Should you get Bose earbuds or Samsung earbuds?
Bose and Samsung earbuds share many characteristics and features that make them similar in terms of quality. You’ll get many of the same features across most models, including an IP rating, noise-canceling, simple touch controls, access to voice assistants and different-sized ear tip cushions.
Bose earbuds are generally better if you’re a bass-lover or looking for earbuds with a broader overall soundstage and high-end acoustics. However, if you want high-quality sound at a more affordable price, Samsung earbuds are worth a look and have a more stylish design.

From a retro-futuristic village to Brazillian dwelling-houses, details of some of the new entertainment areas for people to explore at this year's Electric Picnic have been revealed.
Freetown is a city of sorts located beyond Salty Dog and Trenchtown, with all manner of life clinging to its sides, from German nihilism to Brazilian dwelling-houses, a Cajun bayou to a ne’er do wells’ shanty town, a cabaret hall to the hidden alleyways of a Mexican pueblo.
Flickering red lights lure you to Providencia, a retro-futuristic village on the edge of the world. Strange things happen here, in this haven for the peculiar; their infamous nightly Blok Party is a bizarre, energetic celebration of weirdness, absurdity and analogue esoterica, powering on til dawn. Picnickers venturing into Blok Party will find acts such as …
DONAL DINEEN'S BACKSTORY - DJ MEK (SCAREY EIRE) - DJ CRISPY JASON - SIANAGEDDON - JAKE REED - PRYMARY COLOURS - STOMPTOWN BRASS - CABLE STREET COLLECTIVE - MANDEN EXPRESS JYELLOWL - OSCAR DUNBAR - K3LU - COOKS BUT WE'RE CHEFS - GLAM PIGS MONSIEUR POMPIER - AND A GREAT NUMBER OF UNEXPECTED APPEARANCES
Synths, storytellers and brass clash in front of abandoned billboards flowering with strange art; glamorous pigs dance alongside gazelles to hypnotic DJs in a crashed vehicle, as print blocks sing duets with art crafted from light, and deeper inside even stranger things are afoot… the old Iglesia is home to a new kind of spiritual encounter, where Tarot blends dreamtime with real-time – here you’ll find Tarot mixed with exuberant and spiritual music that will have you dancing well into the night.
On the outskirts of the village, a cerebral fortress indoctrinates over-prescribed patients, mismanaged by nefarious staff loosely connected to an apocalyptic beauty parlour. The village moon rises through the trees. If Drum ‘n Bass is your flavour prepare to be sated.
Our Lady Of The Consumption - a parish hall turned ceilidh house - hums with the bodhran, a giant seisún stretching long into the night, spilling revellers into the dilapidated alleyways and dirty crannies of Six Bars - a warren of small snugs holding six drinkers apiece - buried down the narrow neon cityscape. Imbibe in one of the bars or all six and we guarantee you, you never know who will pop up to serve you.
Brutopolis is an Eastern Block relic, where an authoritarian regime is clinging on by the whites of its fingertips to a time when people did what they were told. This is an immersive theatrical experience of a vast scale, in which a revolution against years of oppression is on the cusp of exploding.
The Office of Misinformation has been infiltrated; the nuclear silos are leaking; the bank's ATM are empty and vandalised, the fuel lorries have been hijacked.... and the underground Birdcage club is becoming less underground.
Footsbarn Theatre – the renowned international touring theatre company along with Glen Hansard and Breanndán Ó Beaglaoich bring their magical production of 'The Crock of Gold' to the big top in Freetown.
Based on the 1912 comic novel by Irish author and friend of Joyce, James Stephens, this entrancing production features original music composed and performed live each afternoon by Glen Hansard and Brendan Begley. They will be joined by a full international cast of troubadours and players; shadow puppetry, spectacle, dance and song.
Immerse yourself in a folk tale of grand imagination and of high philosophy, an antidote to the mundanity of our world with dreams of alternative, inspirational realities abounding! A comic and intricate web of philosophers, leprechauns, pagan gods and policemen, a tale that leads us from darkness to light whilst asking some of life’s fundamental questions.
SHOW EACH AFTERNOON: 4pm in FOOTSBARN'S BIG TOP.. followed by
THE CROCK OF GOLD SESSIONS: 8pm to 12am
Glen Hansard, Breanndán Ó Beaglaoich and friends
Spike Island is an elevated swamp-hut that squats in the marshlands, cloven from drift-wood, with a defensive shell of hedgehog spines camouflaged by pond-weed, ditch-vines, elephant grass and soupy leech-sludge - the only way into this shack-on-stilts is the raised walkway through a break in the fence.
Inside is for huddling around the music - folk, trad, cajun, seisiúns of slip-jigs, creole field-hollers, Delta blues chants, beardy men playing paradiddle on a piccolo snare. Those fond of a jig may jig; those who just want to lean in closer to the smell of the mandolin-man can do so too.
Late into the night, you'd find Old Boy Meaney setting a match to the barrel-fires, and starting a bit of a song. Once you are in, it’s hard to get out.
THE DEADLIANS - GRAND - BUCKS MOONLIGHT REVIVAL - ROBIN JAMES HURT - PETER O’BRIEN BONE MACHINE - HOLLY CARTER - THE FINNS - RAKE THE ASHES - THE OUTCASTS - MIK PYRO BAND WOOKALILY - ONE HORSE PONY - SWEET JANES - BAR THE LOUGH - PEARSE MCGLOUGHLIN
COLM SQUIRBAT - KEVIN MEEHAN BAND - THE BLESSED
Freetown’s towering temple of dance is Terminus, this colossal dance-cathedral feels like the rear entrance of a brutalist concrete-and-steel Moscow warehouse. Featuring the most extravagant lighting and sound rig ever at Electric Picnic, this is where 8,000 people dance. A mega structure created specifically for electronica and dance music acts.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. and SUZHOU, China, Aug. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sirnaomics Ltd. (the "Company" or "Sirnaomics", stock code: 2257.HK), a leading biopharmaceutical company in discovery and development of RNAi therapeutics, announced today the advancement of its GalAhead™ RNAi delivery platform for developing novel therapeutic products focused on complement-related diseases. Among four product candidates developed with GalAhead™, STP144G, which targets Complement Factor B, has entered into an IND enabling study, while the other three — STP146G, STP145G, and STP247G — are moving into candidate nomination stage.
Sirnaomics' proprietary GalNAc-RNAi therapeutic platform, GalAhead™, relies on unique RNA structures that allow the knockdown of single or multiple distinct mRNA targets, specifically two key technological components: mxRNA™ (miniaturized RNAi triggers) and muRNA™ (multi-unit RNAi triggers). mxRNAs are comprised of single ~30 nucleotide long oligonucleotides to downregulate individual genes, while muRNA molecules are comprised of multiple oligonucleotides to silence two or more targets simultaneously.
Complement-related diseases are amongst the important therapeutic areas Sirnaomics has selected for developing GalAhead-based treatments. Based on the validation of the mxRNA inhibitor design, with a long-lasting therapeutic activity observed using rodent and non-human primate animal models, the Company has developed three new mxRNA-based and one muRNA-based programs into the therapeutic candidate nomination phase. STP144G, which targets Complement Factor B, is the first drug candidate that has entered into an IND-enabling study and is expected to advance into clinical study in the second half of 2023. STP146G, which targets Complement Component C3, and STP145G, which targets Complement Component C5, have been validated with both primary cell culture and rodent animal models. Sirnaomics has also developed a dual-targeting muRNA drug compound, STP247G, to inhibit both Complement Component C5 and Complement Factor B for the potential treatment of the complement-mediated immunologic disorders. Due to the simplified structure of these drug candidates, the chemistry, manufacturing and control process of the drug product is well established with a favorable toxicological profile.
Dr. Dmitry Samarsky, Sirnaomics Chief Technology Officer, commented: "We are highly satisfied with the performance of our proprietary GalAhead platform, which allows us to quickly, reproducibly, and predictably expand and progress our therapeutic pipeline based on this novel technology."
"We are seeing a quick expansion of our product pipeline developed with the GalAhead platform. Our drug candidates are comprised of GalNAc-alike structure and liver hepatocyte targeting property, which enable Sirnaomics to advance into a new frontier to treat complement-related disorders," said Dr. Patrick Lu, Sirnaomics founder, Chairman of the Board, Executive Director, President and CEO. "We expect that the first drug candidate based on this delivery platform to be in clinical study in the second half of 2023."
About Complement-Related Diseases
Complement is an integral part of the immune system protecting the host organism against invasion and proliferation of various microorganisms. It is also involved in the removal of the body's own damaged and altered cells. Activation of the complement system is a very precise process and it is strictly controlled by regulatory proteins present in both plasma and at host cells' surfaces. The excessive activation of complement proteins is often discovered to be the reason for many diseases. These include e.g. autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer's syndrome, schizophrenia, atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome, angioedema, macular degeneration, and Crohn's disease. (Adv Clin Exp Med, 2012 Jan-Feb;21(1):105–14).
About Sirnaomics
Sirnaomics is an RNA therapeutics biopharmaceutical company with product candidates in preclinical and clinical stages that focuses on the discovery and development of innovative drugs for indications with medical needs and large market opportunities. Sirnaomics is the first clinical-stage RNA therapeutics company to have a strong presence in both China and the United States, and also the first company to achieve positive Phase IIa clinical outcomes in oncology for an RNAi therapeutic for its core product, STP705.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — When fighting erupted between Israel and the hard-line Palestinian militant group, Islamic Jihad, here earlier this month, the battle lasted just three days but it took a heavy toll: Gaza's Health Ministry said 49 Palestinians were killed, including 17 children.
The Israeli military said it was targeting Islamic Jihad members for allegedly planning or executing attacks on Israelis. Israel says it killed 20 militants and acknowledges killing several civilians. Islamic Jihad responded to the attacks by firing more than 1,100 rockets, according to Israel, which said some of the rockets killed Gazan civilians when the projectiles fell short and landed in Gaza.
People in Gaza say they believe the violence, and duration, would have been even worse had the larger, ruling militant group, Hamas, gotten involved. But in a change of tack, Hamas sat this one out.
Since the fighting — the deadliest in Gaza since last year's 11-day war — residents are having difficult discussions about the roles of the militant groups.
Most Gazans support resistance against Israel for its treatment of Palestinians, and the militants do have active supporters. But many residents are frustrated at the groups over problems like unemployment and deep poverty. And some analysts see a rift forming between Hamas and Islamic Jihad, even though they project unity.
People want a say when war erupts
"Where is the role of the people when these factions go to war?" asks Ahmed, a 37-year-old who wants to only use his first name to speak freely without fear of reprisals from militants. "The people should have a say ... because we end up paying the price."
Ahmed is sipping tea with friends in a park in Gaza City. The park and surrounding streets have gone totally dark — because the severe power shortage often leads to blackouts here.
Ahmed says he's in favor of Palestinian resistance, but he blames Islamic Jihad for escalating the latest conflict in order to make a deal with Israel and free some of its prisoners.
He was glad to see Hamas stay out of the fighting. "It's possible Hamas finally realized that war brings nothing but destruction," he says.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad: partners and rivals
Hamas took over Gaza from the Palestinian Authority about 15 years ago, leading Israel to impose heavy restrictions on goods and people transiting Gaza's borders. Hamas has fought multiple wars against Israel.
Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad are listed as terrorist organizations by the United States, the European Union, Israel and other governments. The groups share some common ideology; analysts say they both want to create an Islamic Palestinian state — something many in Gaza support. Neither group recognizes Israel's existence.
Their official line has been to present a unified front.
Yet some Gazans accuse Hamas of abandoning Islamic Jihad, even as Israel targeted the group's leaders this month. Israel called the operation a success that severely set back Islamic Jihad.
On Monday, Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders met to discuss bilateral relations and released a joint statement affirming their unity, saying that "the resistance is the strategic choice in confronting the occupation."
However, the rivalry between the two has never been more obvious, according to Tholfekar Swairjo,a political analyst who previously was a spokesman for a secular leftist Palestinian movement and now offers commentary in local media.
"First of all, Hamas wants to protect its authority in the Gaza Strip," he says. "There is boiling anger in the streets against the Hamas movement. They are blamed for the very low quality of life in Gaza, and so now they don't want to engage in any war that would increase the level of anger against them from the Palestinians."
Swairjo says Hamas couldn't jeopardize recent understandings with Israel that would bring economic relief to Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians from Gaza are now allowed to work in Israel, and there has also been an increase in goods and supplies going into Gaza.
Islamic Jihad — considered more hard-line — views that as selling out.
"Islamic Jihad say economic incentives that Israel has offered to Gaza has become a knife to the neck of the armed resistance," Swairjo says.
The two militant groups are also in competition for supporters. And according to Swairjo, Hamas has lost some of its recruiting momentum to Islamic Jihad.
Unlike Hamas, which participates in elections and now governs, Swairjo says, Islamic Jihad has no political ideology or even goals beyond fighting Israel. And that can attract a lot of different groups, from Islamists to secular and leftist followers.
Gazans lose hope in their future
For many Gazans, however, there's no difference between Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
At a crowded seaside terrace, 32-year-old Reham is smoking a water pipe known as a hookah with friends. She gave NPR her first name only, to be able to speak frankly about politics without fear of militant groups.
"Most Gazans have stopped believing in Hamas and the others," she says. "You know why? Because they don't feed us, they don't provide anything. You have to depend on yourself. How can we build a future with these guys? And all the back to back wars?"
The presence of the militant groups is also threatening and divisive, she adds. The fighters are often targeted by the Israelis, and civilians who live near them can become casualties.
"People have started to be afraid of where they are living, who their neighbors are, what their political leanings might be," Reham says. "It's affecting community relationships."
She and many others think it's foolish to expect stability in Gaza.
"There is no guarantee for anything in Gaza," she says. "We don't know when or why or how the war happens."
All that's known is, when war happens, she says, no one is safe, regardless of politics.

Updated August 26, 2022 at 11:24 AM ET
Vaccine maker Moderna announced Friday that it's suing rival drugmakers Pfizer and BioNtech for patent infringement. The lawsuit alleges the two companies used certain key features of technology Moderna developed to make their COVID-19 vaccine. It argues that Pfizer and BioNtech's vaccine infringes patents Moderna filed between 2010 and 2016 for its messenger RNA or mRNA technology.
All three companies' COVID-19 vaccines used mRNA technology which is a new way to make vaccines. In the past, vaccines were generally made using parts of a virus, or inactivated virus, to stimulate an immune response. With mRNA technology, the vaccine uses messenger RNA created in a lab to send genetic instructions that teach our cells to make a protein or part of a protein that triggers an immune response.
In October 2020, Moderna pledged not to enforce its COVID-19 related patents while the pandemic was ongoing, according to a statement from the company. In March this year, it said it will stick to its commitment not to enforce its COVID-19 related patents in low and middle-income countries, but expects rival companies like Pfizer to respect its intellectual property.
Moderna is not seeking to remove the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine from the market, but is seeking monetary damages.
Moderna is filing the lawsuits against Pfizer and BioNTech in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts and the Regional Court of Düsseldorf in Germany.
A Pfizer spokesperson said in a statement the company has not yet fully reviewed the complaint but it is "confident in our intellectual property supporting the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and will vigorously defend against the allegations of the lawsuit."

CENTENNIAL, Colo., Aug. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Mediation Board (NMB) officially announced today that Spirit Airlines Aircraft Maintenance Technicians and Maintenance Controllers voted overwhelmingly to elect the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) as their collective bargaining agent.
In early May, Mechanics and Related at Spirit Airlines submitted signed authorization for representation cards from nearly 82% of its workgroup to AMFA, requesting that they file for a representation election with the NMB on behalf of their workgroup.
"This is a critical time for these talented professionals to be represented by a trade/craft specific union that has extensive success and proven experience related to merger protections and provisions for securing work rules through collective bargaining for seniority integration, transition agreement, and single carrier status," said Bret Oestreich, AMFA National President. "We are honored to give these professionals a voice as stakeholders and to help them take control of their own destiny through democratic representation."
"AMFA is the first and only craft-specific union to represent this skilled workgroup. The grassroots organizing committee started this union campaign, and today's outcome was the culmination and affirmation of their hard work," said Oestreich.
Prior to today's announcement, Spirit Airlines technicians had been non-union since the airline service was founded in 1983 as Charter One Airlines, a Detroit-based charter tour operator providing travel packages to entertainment destinations such as Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and the Bahamas.
Spirit Airlines Inc. is a major American ultra-low-cost carrier headquartered in Miramar, Florida, in the Miami metropolitan area. Spirit operates scheduled flights throughout the United States and in the Caribbean and Latin America. Spirit was the eighth largest passenger carrier in North America as of 2020, as well as the largest ultra-low-cost carrier in North America.
As of July 2022, JetBlue has made an offer to acquire Spirit for US$3.8 billion. The deal must still be approved by the airline's shareholders and by government regulators.
The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association is a craft oriented, independent aviation union. AMFA represents licensed and unlicensed technicians and related employees actively involved in the aviation industry. These technician and related employees work directly on aircraft and/or components, support equipment, and facilities. AMFA is committed to elevating the professional standing of technicians and to achieving progressive improvements in wages, benefits, and working conditions of the skilled people it represents.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena has sought a report from the state Chief Secretary on the construction of extra classrooms in government schools. The Education Department in Delhi is with Manish Sisodia, who is already facing a CBI probe over the liquor policy.
The Delhi government and the Lieutenant Governor may once again come face-to-face against each other. The Vigilance Department, in one of its reports, had said that there were many irregularities in the construction of these classrooms. Now, on the basis of the report, the LG has sought a report from the Chief Secretary.
The Vigilance Department had said in its report on 17 February 2022 that many irregularities have been committed in these projects to build extra classrooms. The department had recommended further investigation in this matter, but there has been a delay of about 2.5 years in this matter. In such a situation, Saxena seeking a report from the Chief Secretary on the whole matter does not augur well for the Delhi government.
The Lt Governor’s Secretariat had received a complaint from the Vigilance Department saying many provisions of the CVC manual have been violated. It also included a copy of the dialogue by the CVC.
The Vigilance Department has said in its report that on July 25, 2019 that the CVC had received complaints about irregularities and over-expenditure in the construction of additional classrooms in government schools in Delhi. The cost of the construction increased by up to 90% while no separate tender was floated for the construction.
The Delhi government allocated up to Rs 500 crore in the name of cost escalation without any tender. Classroom constructions were given the status of a classroom. There was a clear violation of the work manual of GFR and CPWD. The quality of construction was poor, while the work remained incomplete at many places. CVC said all these things in its report dated 17 February 2020.
The report also said that the cost of these classrooms increased by up to Rs 326.25 crore. This is 53% more than the cost stated in the tender. As per the increased cost, a total of 6,133 classrooms were to be prepared, but only 4027 classrooms were built.
These classrooms were prepared in 141 schools instead of 194 schools. Not only this, 1,214 toilets were built in 194 schools, whereas the requirement was only 160. 37 crore was spent separately on this. The estimated cost of a classroom was kept at Rs 33 lakh. The PWD claimed to have built 29 rainwater harvesting systems while only two rainwater harvesting systems were found during the inspection. | https://www.thestatesman.com/india/liquor-policy-sisodia-lg-faceoff-classroom-construction-1503104605.html | 2022-08-26T15:33:24Z | https://www.thestatesman.com/india/liquor-policy-sisodia-lg-faceoff-classroom-construction-1503104605.html | false | 1 |
(NewsNation) — Researchers studying the composition of tattoo inks have discovered that those used in the United States may contain cancer-causing chemicals.
In the study presented this week at an American Chemical Society conference, Dr. John Swierk said little is known about the chemical composition of inks, which are mostly unregulated in the U.S.
During their analysis of inks, Swierk and his team discovered the presence of ingredients that were not listed on the label. In one case, ethanol was not listed, but the chemical analysis showed it was present in the ink.
“Every time we looked at one of the inks, we found something that gave me pause,” Swierk said in a news release from the American Chemical Society. “For example, 23 of 56 different inks analyzed to date suggest an azo-containing dye is present.”
It’s those azo pigments that raise concerns.
While they cause no health problems when chemically intact, bacteria or ultraviolet light can degrade azo pigments into a compound that is a potential carcinogen, according to the Joint Research Centre.
The European Union has recently cracked down on tattoo inks, placing a ban on certain blue and green pigments. Americans should assume that those pigments of concern are in their tattoo inks, Swierk said at the conference.
“I think it’s important to note that those particular pigments, Blue 15:3 and Green 7, have been used in tattooing for a very long time,” he said. “While the EU’s data is a concern, it’s not a definite. Much like with everything involving tattooing, it’s incumbent on consumers and artists to make a decision about their particular comfort level and then proceed accordingly.”
In addition to ink ingredients, Swierk and his team noted a red flag in particle sizes, with some measuring as small as 100 nanometers.
“When you get down to that size regime, you start to have concerns about nanoparticles penetrating into cells, getting into the nucleus of those cells, doing damage and causing cancer that way,” Swierk said.
After the team has conducted more tests and their research is peer-reviewed, it will be posted on their website.
“With these data, we want consumers and artists to make informed decisions and understand how accurate the provided information is,” Swierk said. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/tattoo-inks-may-have-cancer-causing-chemicals-study-shows/ | 2022-08-26T15:33:24Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/tattoo-inks-may-have-cancer-causing-chemicals-study-shows/ | false | 16 |

Pfizer asks EU drug regulator to OK tweaked COVID vaccine
LONDON (AP) - Pfizer and BioNTech have asked the European Medicines Agency to authorize their updated coronavirus booster vaccine that includes the most recent omicron subvariants.
In a statement Friday, Pfizer said it is requesting that the EU drug regulator OK its combination COVID-19 vaccine that targets the original coronavirus and BA.4 and BA.5, the latest versions of omicron, which are causing the vast majority of infections globally now. Pfizer and BioNTech are asking that the vaccine be given the green light for people aged 12 and over.
The European Medicines Agency is currently reviewing whether to clear updated versions of vaccines made by Moderna and Pfizer that target the subvariant BA.1, an earlier version of the virus that has since been overtaken by BA.4 and BA.5; that decision is expected next week.
If both of Pfizer's updated COVID-19 boosters are authorized, the company said its adapted vaccines would be available in Europe "as early as September."
Last week, the U.K. cleared Moderna's updated COVID-19 booster targeting the BA.1 version of omicron and said it would be included in the country's vaccination campaign for people aged 50 and over beginning next month.
Pfizer and rival Moderna both asked U.S. regulators this week to authorize modified versions of their booster vaccine - shots that are half the original recipe and half protection against BA.4 and BA.5.

(AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis, File)
Health authorities hope that the tweaked boosters might blunt the expected surge of COVID-19 this winter, but it's still unclear how effective they might be. The gamble is that BA.5, or something similar, still will be circulating this the winter and that immunization with these latest vaccines will still offer significant protection.

ASHFORD, Wash. — Officials with the National Park Service said the body of a 52-year-old Canadian man was recovered after he fell while climbing Mt. Rainier on Monday.
In a news release, park officials said Chun Hui Zhang of Surrey, British Columbia, was on a private recreational summit climb with friends when he took what witnesses described as a "substantial fall" while descending the Disappointment Cleaver route on the mountain's south side.
Officials said mountain climbing guides and park rangers tried to locate Zhang but were unsuccessful.
Rangers found and extricated Zhang's body with a helicopter on Tuesday, officials said.
According to the NPS website, the mountain, which is an active volcano, sits 14,410 feet above sea level.
CBS News reported, citing National Park Service data, that as of this year, more than 400 people have perished in Mount Rainier National Park, with 25% of those deaths occurring while climbing the mountain. | https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/national/body-of-canadian-man-recovered-after-he-fell-while-climbing-mount-rainier | 2022-08-26T15:45:07Z | https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/national/body-of-canadian-man-recovered-after-he-fell-while-climbing-mount-rainier | false | 12 |
The Supreme Court dismissed on Friday a petition against the denial to permit prosecuting Yogi Adityanath in an alleged hate speech case from 2007. The apex court said the forensic examination of the compact disk—which had formed the basis of the prosecution—was found to be tampered with, as per the report of October 13, 2014.
While hearing the petition against the “denial of sanction for prosecution”, the bench—Chief Justice N V Ramana and Justices Hima Kohli and C T Ravikumar—also pointed out that the investigation into the alleged hate speech was closed on May 6, 2017, with the submission of the final report, but a protest petition filed before the trial court was already pending.
“In the circumstances, we do not think it necessary to go into the contentions raised by both sides on the issue of denial of sanction for prosecution and the legal pleas sought to be raised in relation to the said issue,” the bench said.
The court rejected the petition, filed by Parvez Parwaz and another person, against the Allahabad High Court’s order of February 22, 2018. The petition had asked for fair investigation into the alleged hate speech by Adityanath, when he was a Member of Parliament, which reportedly caused the 2007 Gorakhpur riots.
The High Court had not found any procedural irregularity in the investigation of the case.
Advocate Fuzail A Ayyubi, appearing for the petitioners, contended that Adityanath was an MP when he had made the hate speech. Later on, he became the chief minister and thereby, the executive head of the state. In such a situation, Ayyubi argued that the Governor of the state was empowered to consider granting sanction in terms of the “rules of business”. The lawyer claimed that the High Court had failed to consider this issue in an appropriate manner.
Appearing for the Uttar Pradesh government, senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi submitted that nothing survived in the matter as a closure report had already been filed. The CD, allegedly containing the hate speech, was found to be tampered with, he added.
“Having considered the material placed on record, we are in agreement that the subsequent events have rendered the present appeal into a purely academic exercise,” the bench said, leaving the legal questions on the issue of sanction open to be considered in an appropriate case in future.

Millions of adults feel misrepresented in movies, due to overused stereotypes and a lack of diversity
A study of 2,000 adults under the age of 35 found 43 per cent struggle to relate to the characters they see on the big screen.
And 57 per cent think stereotypes are overused in films, with 30 per cent going as far as to say they have been offended by a movie cliché.
While 29 per cent have refuse to watch a film due to an offensive or outdated stereotype.
It also emerged that comedies, romance and crime are considered the worst genres for overusing stereotypes, with 37 per cent claiming they have never watched a movie which they felt did the opposite and broke them down.
Most Popular
More than half (56 per cent) even believe the film industry needs to stop alluding to things such as race, sexuality or region when it is irrelevant to the movie’s storyline.
Film-lovers long for better representation
The research was commissioned by confectionary brand M&Ms as part of its global ‘FUNd’ initiative designed to champion diversity and inclusion and create a sense of belonging.
Femi Kolade, Head of Studies at London Film School, which is part of the initiative, said:
"The mainstream film industry has been dominated for too long by a narrative that excludes so many people’s lived experiences and reduces all of our specific and vibrant diversity to a few standardised, often negative and always limited representations of who we are today, who were yesterday and who we’ll become in the future.
"This must change and this timely research and this important campaign shows yet again how desperate mainstream audiences are to see that change."
Oversexualised women is the most common stereotype young adults feel they see to much in movies, for example Alice Eve in the first Star Trek reboot film, and ‘She’s All That’ which conveys the message that you have to be attractive to be popular.
This was followed by females being depicted as weak or too sensitive, and foreign characters’ broken English used for comedy, as Sacha Baron Cohen does in the Borat films.
Others are tired of seeing black or Latino people portrayed as gang members, black communities being broken or disruptive, and flamboyant members of the LGBTQ+ community, as Damien was portrayed in 2004 hit Mean Girls.
Instead, young adults would like to see more depictions of neurodivergent people living normal lives, rather than portrayed as having ‘special powers’, more people of colour playing people in management positions and disabled characters portrayed as strong or successful.
The importance of the familiar
It also emerged only 24 per cent of those polled could name five or more LGBTQ+ actors, with just 21 per cent able to name the same number of disabled actors.
As a result, 59 per cent would like to see more disabled actors portraying characters with disabilities - as opposed to such roles going to people without such conditions or impairments.
This is after wheelchair user Professor Xavier in the X-Men franchise was played by non-disabled actors Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy.
Looking behind the lens, only 22 per cent could confidently name five non-white Hollywood directors.
In a separate study conducted in 2021, only three in 10 directors were from minority backgrounds, up from 12 per cent in 2011.
But 60 per cent of young Brits believe more diversity in directing, producing and technical roles would positively impact what we see on screen.
And 52 per cent believe Hollywood has a greater responsibility than all other industries to improve its diversity and inclusivity.
However, 31 per cent of those polled via OnePoll, think the industry’s attempts to improve inclusivity and diversity feels more like a ‘box-ticking’ exercise than authentic.
Leah Dykes, a spokesperson for M&Ms, said: “As a treat synonymous with film culture, we feel we have a duty to do what we can to ensure the industry and beyond is inclusive and diverse and celebrates talent from all walks of life.
"This work is one of the first steps in the UK, in our commitment to increase a sense of belonging for 10 million people around the world by 2025, and sets out to understand thoughts and attitudes towards diversity and inclusion in Hollywood and western cinema, and the issues around typecasting and old stereotypical tropes.”
Top ten over-used stereotypes that young adults aged 13-25 would like to see cut from movies
1. Women being overly sexualised for male characters (24 per cent)
2. Women being depicted as weak, too sensitive, always crying (20 per cent)
3. Foreign characters unable to speak English for comedic purposes (19 per cent)

7. Flamboyant members of the LGBTQ+ community (17 per cent)
8. The streetwise sassy black woman (17 per cent)
9. Overprotective Asian parents (16 per cent)
10. Disabled people appearing frail, helpless, or unintelligent (16 per cent)
Top ten characters and attitudes young Brits would like to see
1. Neurodivergent people living normal lives with normal jobs (24 per cent)
2. Character roles with disabilities played by disabled people (22 per cent)
3. Successful and strong disabled people (22 per cent)
4. Positive portrayals of minorities (22 per cent)
5. People with physical or mental disabilities in action roles (21 per cent)
6. Black people in management positions (21 per cent)
7. Stay at home dads (20 per cent)
8. Disabled leads in romantic roles (19 per cent)
9. Black people in period dramas (19 per cent)

A renowned Ghanaian broadcaster, Kwasi Kyei Darkwah, better known as KKD has revealed how his 84-year-old father, Mr. Kwasi Darkwah feels about his recent criticisms of the government.
He said his father is concerned that someone may assassinate him.
In an exclusive interview this Wednesday, August 25 on the Accra-based JoyNews' AM Show, which Modernghana News monitors, he noted that his father said thieves and corrupt people despise criticism and scrutiny.
Quoting the exact words of his father he noted, “they will kill you, thieves and corrupt people hate those who speak the truth.”
KDD adds “he (his father) is afraid they will kill me but encouraged me to go ahead.”
A few days ago, the veteran broadcaster made the headlines when he said the Minister of Finance intentionally led Ghana into a borrowing spree for his co-founded Data Bank to earn more commission as sole advisors.
He added that Ken Ofori-Atta and his bank are getting richer while the country is sinking into huge debt.
“I read a report yesterday that broke my heart. I saw how much Ghana owes but I also found that apparently, the minister of finance’s company or former company is the transaction advisor to the monies we borrow. So, as Ghana gets poorer, the minister of finance’s company or former company gets richer,” KDD said on GTV’s Breakfast show. | https://www.modernghana.com/news/1179555/my-father-is-afraid-i-may-be-killed-because-of.html | 2022-08-26T15:46:55Z | https://www.modernghana.com/news/1179555/my-father-is-afraid-i-may-be-killed-because-of.html | false | 1 |

Vaccine maker Moderna announced Friday that it's suing rival drugmakers Pfizer and BioNtech for patent infringement. The lawsuit alleges the two companies used certain key features of technology Moderna developed to make their COVID-19 vaccine. It argues that Pfizer and BioNtech's vaccine infringes patents Moderna filed between 2010 and 2016 for its messenger RNA or mRNA technology.
All three companies' COVID-19 vaccines used mRNA technology which is a new way to make vaccines. In the past, vaccines were generally made using parts of a virus, or inactivated virus, to stimulate an immune response. With mRNA technology, the vaccine uses messenger RNA created in a lab to send genetic instructions that teach our cells to make a protein or part of a protein that triggers an immune response.
In October 2020, Moderna pledged not to enforce its COVID-19 related patents while the pandemic was ongoing, according to a statement from the company. In March this year, it said it will stick to its commitment not to enforce its COVID-19 related patents in low and middle-income countries, but expects rival companies like Pfizer to respect its intellectual property.
Moderna is not seeking to remove the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine from the market, but is seeking monetary damages.
Moderna is filing the lawsuits against Pfizer and BioNTech in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts and the Regional Court of Düsseldorf in Germany.
A Pfizer spokesperson said in a statement the company has not yet fully reviewed the complaint but it is "confident in our intellectual property supporting the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and will vigorously defend against the allegations of the lawsuit."

Turkish pop star's arrest over religious schools quip stirs fierce criticism
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
ANKARA, Aug 26 (Reuters) - The arrest of a Turkish pop star over a quip she made about religious schools has drawn a fierce response from critics of the government, who see it as bent on punishing those who oppose its conservative views.
Pop singer Gulsen was jailed pending trial on Thursday on a charge of incitement to hatred after a video of a remark which she made on stage in April was broadcast by a pro-government media outlet.
"He studied at an Imam Hatip (school) previously. That's where his perversion comes from," Gulsen says in a light-hearted manner in the video, referring to a musician in her band.

President Tayyip Erdogan, whose Islamist-rooted AK Party first came to power some 20 years ago, himself studied at one of the country's first Imam Hatip schools, which were founded by the state to educate young men to be imams and preachers.
Sabah, a pro-government newspaper, published the video on Wednesday, saying Gulsen had previously drawn criticism for "actions she displayed on stage, extremely low cut dresses and holding up an LGBT flag."
Several ministers took to Twitter in reaction to Gulsen's words, with Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag condemning what he called "primitive" remarks and an "antiquated mentality."
"Inciting one part of society towards another using begrudging, hateful and discriminating language under the guise of being an artist is the biggest disrespect to art," he wrote.
On Thursday, Gulsen apologised to anyone offended by her remarks, saying they were seized upon by some who want to polarise society.
Thousands on social media spoke out in support of Gulsen, saying she was being targeted for her liberal views and support for LGBT+ rights.
"I think she is under arrest because she is a figure representing secular Turkey and an artist sensitive to giving support to the LGBTI movement," said Veysel Ok, a lawyer and co-director of the Media and Law Studies Association.
"I think they were looking for an excuse to arrest her and found it with the quip four months ago," he told Reuters in an interview in his Istanbul office.
In a rare move, several staunchly pro-government columnists criticised Gulsen's arrest.
"Are we going to jail pending trial anyone who speaks nonsense? Let society dole out her punishment," said Mehmet Barlas in his column in Sabah.
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), said the arrest was aimed at polarising society to keep Erdogan's AK Party in power.
Erdogan and his AK Party say Turkish courts are independent.
But the lawyer Ok said the case showed that on the contrary, the judiciary in Turkey is not independent, referring to the imprisonment of philanthropist Osman Kavala, pro-Kurdish leader Selahattin Demirtas, and many other politicians and journalists.
"The Gulsen case has shown again that the Turkish judiciary is the biggest weapon of the government," he said. "It makes you feel that if you live in a way other than that of those in power your life and freedom is in danger."

So yeah, Mark Zuckerberg just admitted the FBI requested that Facebook censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.
In case you missed it.
Can’t even make this up …
Watch:
BREAKING: Mark Zuckerberg tells Joe Rogan that Facebook algorithmically censored the Hunter Biden laptop story for 7 days based on a general request from the FBI to restrict election misinformation. pic.twitter.com/llTA7IqGa1
— Minds💡 (@minds) August 25, 2022
This seems like a big deal, right?
Like, HOLY CRAP, a government agency worked against the sitting president during an election to protect another candidate. That should be illegal or something, yes? At least grossly unethical? Hey, we’re certainly not experts here but this sounds REALLY REALLY REALLY bad you guys.
The Meta Newsroom must have thought it sounded bad as well because they were quick to jump on and try to do some damage control.
None of this is new. Mark testified before the Senate nearly two years ago that in the lead up to the 2020 election, the FBI warned about the threat of foreign hack and leak operations: https://t.co/bcRTgSe44L
— Meta Newsroom (@MetaNewsroom) August 26, 2022
Except this IS new.
Mark said the quiet part out loud.
He didn’t admit Facebook censored a specific story to help Joe Biden at the specific request of the FBI two years ago. Saying the FBI warned Facebook and admitting they requested a story be censored are two very different things.
We took that seriously, and as Mark said when he testified, we didn't block the New York Post story, we temporarily reduced its distribution to give fact-checking partners time to review it.
— Meta Newsroom (@MetaNewsroom) August 26, 2022
They blocked it for a week.
Oh, and we know all about their ‘fact-checkers’.
This is so damn damning.
Consistent with our policy, after 7 days, we lifted the demotion because it wasn’t rated false by independent fact-checkers. https://t.co/X4C1XP1hR1
— Meta Newsroom (@MetaNewsroom) August 26, 2022
They lifted it AFTER it couldn’t hurt Joe Biden.
Fixed it for them.

— (((Aaron Walker))) (@AaronWorthing) August 26, 2022
Except, by your own admission, your “fact checkers” only offer opinions.
“We only censored a little bit” isn’t the defense you think it is.
— Ultra Nuclear Calvin 🇺🇸🐶🏒 🎶☢️ (@shoveitjack) August 26, 2022
It was a story from the NY Post, not a blog.
You're full of it.
— Mr. Fusion (@patrusselljr) August 26, 2022
Full of it is putting it nicely.
Running cover isn’t going to help you. You may be shielded by the fbi and criminal accountability. But in the public view you have lost any shred of credibility and trust… what little was left of it anyway.
— 🌐 𝔹ᴀʀ ℍᴀ 🪙 (@122BarH) August 26, 2022
We’re not entirely sure how much credibility and trust they had left at this point and really, Zuckerberg’s admission just gave most people vindication in what they already knew anyway.
The government requested that you sensor people's freedom of speech. You did it.
The government requesting that you stifle freedom of speech fir Americans is a violation of the first amendment.
If they hadn't asked, this would just be wrong. The request made it a crime.
— Trying to be discerning (@JagoDragon1) August 26, 2022
You are right it's not new. It was known at the time. However, the last time the discussion was had with any detail, there was the curtain of "it's disinformation" to hide behind. It could still be 'potentially' justified. Look the FBI said it was Russian Disinformation.
— CoffeeGrandma (@ColoCoffeeLover) August 26, 2022
Warning and then acting upon that warning as if it were fact are the problem here. Seems like you guys are playing “hot potato” with the blame game here.
— MoonBabe2478 (@MoonBabe2478) August 26, 2022
And the FBI was lying.
— DeFi or Die (@haiwee96) August 26, 2022
You suppressed a true newsstory
— Jonny B Goode 🇺🇲👽🚀🐶 (@papiflorida) August 26, 2022
To protect a presidential candidate and possibly even sway an election.
Believe it or not you don't actually have to do the FBIs bidding, or any other damn part of the federal government
— astroglide (@Astroglide13) August 26, 2022
So in essence …
The FBI interfered in the election and put the people who protested it on Jan 6 in prison.
— Rising serpent 🇺🇸 (@rising_serpent) August 26, 2022
There it is.

Norris is in P3 and Stroll in P4 in another encouraging session for the Canadian.
Sainz is fifth and Hamilton sixth, who is the best-placed of the two Mercedes drivers. Russell is down in eighth.
Here comes the rain
It has started and we are in for another early finish here. Lap times will not improve.
No one can get close to Verstappen
He is in a class of one. So much quicker than the rest. He does have grid penalties, otherwise this was looking far too easy.
Leclerc reacts to Verstappen's lap time
He's told the Dutchman is 0.862 seconds ahead of his best time. "Wow...that is quick", he says over the radio.
Verstappen setting the pace
The world champion is top of the timesheets in an otherwise dull session so far.
Only Vettel has notched double-figures in the way of laps and he is in 18th.
FP2 is go
Second session underway in Spa. The track is damp and we have a 40 percent chance of rain in this sesion.
Verstappen latest
McLaren's Lando Norris, Alpine's Eseban Ocon, Alfa Romeo's Valterri Bottas and Haas' Mick Schumacher are the other four drivers who will start from the back.
Verstappen to start from BACK of grid
Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc will start from the BACK of the grid at the Belgian Grand Prix.
The Red Bull and Ferrari aces are two of six drivers to be penalised for using too many engine parts.
FP1 is done - Ferrari set the pace
Sainz and Leclerc top the session in Spa, the two are separated by just 0.069 seconds.
Verstappen is third quickest 0.217 seconds off Sainz's best time and Russell is fourth.
Hamilton down in 9th place and Norris in 13th.
It is raining
A wet end to the session at Spa meaning lap times will not improve. Under three minutes to go and it is Sainz, Leclerc, Verstappen, Russell as the top four.
Green light
We are going again after a lengthy delay to recover the Haas. Eight minutes on the clock remain in FP1.
Red flag - Magnussen stops on track
He has a mechanical problem - says "his engine is out", and is told to stop the car.
This session has been stopped for the time being as they recover his car.
No penalty for Williams
Pretty mad that Williams have been let off there. Looked a slam dunk penalty to me.
Ocon has a problem
He radios his Alpine team to inform them and the ask him to bring the car in to the pits for them to check it over. He was eighth quickest.
Near miss!
Verstappen almost wipes out Latifi in the pitlane. What were Williams doing calling him out into the pitlane with the Red Bull man approaching at such speed.
That's likely to be a fine for the Williams team due to an unsafe release.
Green light in the pit lane
We are go for the Belgium GP - the season is back after the summer break.
Lots of new parts on these cars, so expect of running - despite the wet conditions.
New engines on the way for a number of drivers - details to follow once confirmed with the FIA - but the grid on Sunday could see a number of top drivers starting at the back of the grid.
Lew close to a win
Lewis Hamilton believes he is finally closing in on his first win of the year as he goes into this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix.
Hamilton is on the longest winless run of his F1 career - a streak that stretches back to the Saudi race in December.
But the 37-year-old, who has won at least one race every year he has been in F1, is confident of breaking his 2022 duck.
Brit Hamilton, who was second in Hungary last time out, said: "We've been improving, some great progress, everyone pulling together.
"The car is becoming more of a racing car, which is not particularly what it was at the start!
"The last race was the best showing we've had so far. It was a huge boost, that we can close the gap.
"It's naturally going to be tough, we'll keep our heads down now."
First practice is minutes away
Expect the cars to roll out of the pits at 1pm UK time, which is 2pm CET.
Max Verstappen is in the building
The world champ is looking relaxed and even has his knees out in the Belgian sunshine.
And of course it's not far for his loyal oranje army of supporters to follow him in Spa.
Hello and welcome to Spa!
The F1 season is finally BACK and there are new car upgrades and the drivers have been able to put their feet up.
Now, Lewis Hamilton is looking to eat into Max Verstappen's huge lead at the top of the F1 title standings.
But it would be some challenge, even more so than last season, when he nearly pipped the Dutchman at the post for the title.
And we all remember what happened in Abu Dhabi.
Those wounds have clearly taken time to heal for Hamilton - and that is hardly surprising.
But he will be hoping his garage have their act together and a car that can challenge the dominance of Red Bull and Ferrari so far this year.
Either way, expect chat about what porpoising is, plenty of aerodynamic talk - but hopefully some great racing. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19623510/f1-belgian-grand-prix-live-updates-verstappen-penalty-hamilton/ | 2022-08-26T16:06:46Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19623510/f1-belgian-grand-prix-live-updates-verstappen-penalty-hamilton/ | false | 3 |
(NEXSTAR) – In addition to announcing widespread student loan forgiveness, the Biden administration says it is working to reform the way borrowers will repay their loans going forward.
As part of this, the Biden administration is proposing a rule that would create a new income-driven repayment plan intended to “substantially reduce future monthly payments for lower- and middle-income borrowers.”
There are four income-driven repayment plans: Pay as You Earn, Revised Pay as You Earn, Income-Based, and Income-Contingent. All four have monthly payments set at a level “intended to be affordable based on your income and family size,” according to the U.S. Department of Education.
For each plan, your payment is based on a different percentage of your discretionary income (the difference between your annual income and a certain percentage of the poverty guidelines based on your family size and where you live).
The newly proposed income-driven repayment (IDR) plan would drastically differ from the aforementioned plans.
According to data from the White House, borrowers would be required to pay no more than 5% of their discretionary income on undergraduate loans, down from the 10% rates available on the current IDR plans.
The amount of income considered non-discretionary income would also rise, meaning no borrowers earning under 225% of the federal poverty level ($30,577.50 for a single borrower) would owe a monthly payment.
Borrowers below that threshold could see payments as low as $0.
If, for example, you are making $44,000 a year, a current IDR plan could require you to make monthly payments of $197. Under the new plan, that would drop to $56 a month, saving you almost $1,700.
If you were making slightly less — let’s say $35,000 — your monthly payment would drop from the roughly $122 you’d pay under a current plan to $19. With an income of $77,000 a year, your payment drops from $294 to $61.
Here’s how you can calculate what your payment would be under the proposed plan:
- Determine your federal poverty guideline based on state and family size using this chart.
- Multiple that by 2.25. (This is the 225% rate mentioned above.)
- Subtract that number from your income.
- Multiple that by 0.05. (This is the 5% of your discretionary income mentioned above.)
- Divide that number by 12 for your monthly payment.
According to the White House, “no borrower’s loan balance will grow as long as they make their monthly payments—even when that monthly payment is $0 because their income is low.” This is not currently the case with other IDR plans.
Additionally, after 10 years of payments, borrowers with an initial loan balance of $12,000 or less will have their remaining debt forgiven.
Like other aspects of President Joe Biden’s Wednesday announcement, further details about this plan haven’t yet been released. We do know that monthly payments could change, primarily because of a change in your income or household size, and that there could be certain requirements you would have to meet to qualify for this plan.
The Education Department says the proposed regulation will be published soon on the Federal Register and the public will be invited to common on the draft rule for 30 days.
In addition to proposing a new income-driven repayment plan, the Biden administration announced widespread federal student loan forgiveness and proposed long-term changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. | https://www.ksnt.com/news/national/your-monthly-student-loan-payments-could-be-drastically-reduced-under-a-new-plan-heres-what-we-know/ | 2022-08-26T16:07:34Z | https://www.ksnt.com/news/national/your-monthly-student-loan-payments-could-be-drastically-reduced-under-a-new-plan-heres-what-we-know/ | true | 13 |

Elton John was only too happy to collaborate with Britney Spears.
The musical superstars have teamed up on the highly anticipated new track “Hold Me Closer,” which combines John’s hits “Tiny Dancer” and “The One.” John says it was an honor to work with Spears, who was released from her conservatorship last year, a development which played out for all to see.
“She’s been away so long — there’s a lot of fear there because she’s been betrayed so many times and she hasn’t really been in the public eye officially for so long,” John told The Guardian. “We’ve been holding her hand through the whole process, reassuring her that everything’s gonna be alright.
“I’m so excited to be able to do it with her because if it is a big hit, and I think it may be, it will give her so much more confidence than she’s got already and she will realize that people actually love her and care for her and want her to be happy. That’s all anybody in their right mind would want after she went through such a traumatic time.”
While Spears has made headlines in recent years for her conservatorship, producer Andrew Watt says that was never an issue when recording the track.
“We didn’t really get into that,” he said. “She came there to sing and record. She’s so pro. And if that was something that she was thinking about, she put it all into the record.”
Spears, who married Sam Asghari last month, hasn’t released new music in six years and has been open about her nerves leading up to this new song.
“Okie dokie … my first song in 6 years!!!!” she tweeted earlier this week. “It’s pretty damn cool that I’m singing with one of the most classic men of our time … @eltonofficial !!!! I’m kinda overwhelmed… it’s a big deal to me !!! I’m meditating more and learning my space is valuable and precious !!!”
“Hold Me Closer” follows John’s 2021 hit “Cold Heart,” which featured him and Dua Lipa in a mashup of his songs “Rocket Man,” “Sacrifice,” “Where’s the Shoorah?” and “Kiss the Bride.”
How did John convince Spears to lend her voice to the song? His husband, David Furnish, is the one who thought she’d be a perfect fit.
“He said it would be wonderful for Britney Spears to do it,” John said. “I said, that’s a pretty amazing idea. She hadn’t done anything for so long. I’d been following what’s been happening to her for a long time.”
John considers himself one of Spears’ many fans.
“She just put out incredibly brilliant records,” he said. “She sang and danced so beautifully.”
He also gave her the seal of approval for her work on “Hold Me Closer.”
“She sang fantastically,” he said. “Everyone was saying they don’t think she can sing any more. But I said, she was brilliant when she started so I think she can. And she did it, and I was so thrilled with what she did.”
Watt echoed that sentiment.
“She was really collaborative and had really good ideas about the production,” he said. “She’s an expert in music to make you dance.” | https://www.today.com/popculture/music/elton-john-talks-working-britney-spears-new-song-traumatic-time-rcna44982 | 2022-08-26T16:13:12Z | https://www.today.com/popculture/music/elton-john-talks-working-britney-spears-new-song-traumatic-time-rcna44982 | false | 1 |

Elizabeth City State University has been awarded nearly $173,000 in state grants to implement a new digital inventory and self-checkout system at the campus's G.R. Little Library and continue the library's role helping digitize historical documents and photographs.
Elizabeth City State University will spend nearly $173,000 implementing a new digital inventory and self-checkout system at G.R. Little Library and continuing the library's role helping digitize historical documents and photographs.
Funding for the work is coming from grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services as part of the federal Library Services and Technology Act, ECSU said in a press release. LSTA funds are administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
One two-year grant, totaling $119,742, will allow ECSU to upgrade G.R. Little's entire physical collection of books and library materials with radio frequency identification tags, the university said. Once the two-year project is complete, the tags will allow students to self-checkout library items. The tags also will allow library staff to more quickly inventory G.R. Little's collections.
The grant dollars will purchase the RFID tags, RFID-enabled security gates, equipment and supplies, and self-checkout system software, ECSU said. The library also plans to hire a temporary staff member for the project.
G.R. Little also plans to use a $53,156 grant continuing its role, started last year, as a satellite site for the North Carolina Digital Heritage Center, digitizing historical documents and photographs to preserve them for the future, ECSU said.
Located on G.R. Little's second floor, the DHC satellite office — officially known as NCDHC-East — focuses on print newspaper digitization. All materials are scanned by technicians and uploaded to the DigitalNC website at www.digitalnc.org. The site contains materials from libraries, museums and archives across North Carolina.
Having a DHC satellite at ECSU helps reduce the travel time for agencies and others interested in getting papers and documents from their collections online, the university said.
“Libraries are at the heart of our community and the university,” Dr. Juanita Spence, ECSU director of Library Services, said in the press release. “They provide free access to information whether that’s books, resources, the internet, computers and more. We are improving the user experience through increased convenience and privacy, while also making our operations more efficient.”
Individuals and organizations interested in having historical newspaper collections digitized and added to DigitalNC can contact Kristen Merryman, digital projects librarian, at 919-962-4836 or via email at kmerryman@unc.edu. | https://www.dailyadvance.com/news/local/ecsu-library-eyes-digital-inventory-self-checkout-system/article_0c9ca38e-ff7c-5c5b-bb7a-2bcae802e8a9.html | 2022-08-26T16:15:16Z | https://www.dailyadvance.com/news/local/ecsu-library-eyes-digital-inventory-self-checkout-system/article_0c9ca38e-ff7c-5c5b-bb7a-2bcae802e8a9.html | true | 1 |

(WXIN) — Oscar Mayer is taking the “hot” out of hot dogs with its new meat-flavored frozen popsicle.
They’re called Cold Dogs, and they were originally an idea that stemmed from the company’s Stupid or Genius campaign. But it got such a response from fans that Oscar Mayer is bringing the popsicle to life.
The company has teamed up with Popbar, a brand of premium frozen desserts, to make the Cold Dog, which is described as having “both refreshing and smokey umami notes of Oscar Mayer’s iconic wiener” and is topped with a swirl of mustard.
“For more than 130 years, Oscar Mayer has been sparking smiles and bringing levity into everyday moments, and we are thrilled to bring fans another wonderfully odd way to enjoy our iconic wiener while beating the summer heat,” said Anne Field, head of North American Brand Communications for Oscar Mayer.
Right now, the frozen treat, which will sell for $2 a pop, will only be available at Popbar locations in Long Beach, California; New York City; Alpharetta-Atlanta, and New Orleans for a limited time.

Ryan Reynolds Posts Sentimental Birthday Message To Blake Lively: 'You're Spectacular'
The actor shared a collection of photos of his wife on her 35th birthday.
Although they tend to poke fun at each other on social media, Ryan Reynolds decided to share a sentimental message to his wife, Blake Lively, on her birthday this year. The actor posted a sweet note on Instagram alongside a series of stunning photos of Lively, who turned 35 on Aug. 25.
“Happy Birthday, @blakelively. You’re spectacular,” Reynolds, 45, wrote. “I’m not sure if you were born or invented. Also, thank you for urging me to leave the house every now and again. ❤️.”
“😊😊♥️ my guy,” Lively commented on the post, which garnered more than 4 million likes.
Lively also shared a pre-birthday post — a photo of herself in a white bikini while in a tropical locale. She tagged Reynolds in the picture, but it’s unclear if she was giving him photo credit or setting up a thirst trap. (She totally would.)
The Shallows star captioned the photo, “☀️summer lovin’ …had me a blast,” to which Reynolds replied, “Wrexham is the Ibiza of Wales.” He was seemingly referencing the soccer club he owns with fellow actor Rob McElhenney, Wrexham A.F.C., which most likely doesn’t practice near palm trees.
Reynolds and McElhenney just debuted a docuseries on their recent, slightly outlandish purchase, titled Welcome to Wrexham, which airs on FX. During an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Reynolds admitted to his business partner that Lively wasn’t thrilled about his stake in the Welsh team, saying, “I remember after you reached out about this absolutely insane idea, and I remember coming, showing up and seeing Blake and saying, ‘I have bad news. And I have really bad news. The bad news is I slipped into someone's DMs again. The really bad news is that, you know, I might have bought half of a fifth-tier national football league in Wales.’”
When asked about Lively's reaction, the actor said, “Not good, Rob. No, not great. Yeah, we're still working through that one.”
Reynolds and Lively, who met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010, tied the knot in September 2012 and have three daughters together — James, 7, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2.

'Is a butt and two legs really the main topic?' Italian synchronised swimmer shows off her eight European Championship medals with amazing photo... but says she is 'disgusted’ by ‘vulgar comments'
- Star swimmer Linda Cerruti, 28, set pulses racing with beachside medal pose
- But she slammed 'sexist and vulgar' replies from 'thousands' of IG commenters
- User Diego wrote: 'Very good... in the pool and outside', gaining nine likes
- Fellow competitors jumped in with solidarity and support after Linda 'shocked'
An Italian swimming champion slammed her followers for writing 'thousands' of 'sexist, misguided and vulgar' comments under a racy beachside Instagram post.
Linda Cerruti, 28, set her 45,700 followers' pulses racing with an elaborate display of eight European Championship swimming medals balanced carefully on her legs.
The post became instantly popular, gaining well over 60,000 likes in just a few days.
Most of the comments, many by her rivals and competitors, celebrated her incredible achievements - and the ease with which she achieved the bold pose.
She captioned the wholesome post: 'Four years after I won seven medals in Glasgow I can say that I am very satisfied. I sacrificed a lot for this.
Linda's audacious beachside pose attracted 'thousands' of leering, 'sexist' comments, she said
Ms Cerruti wears an impressive haul of medals around her neck after the Championships win. The star athlete, 28, won no fewer than seven medals at the European Championships in Glasgow four years ago
'For years I have been studying during the night to be able to train during the day. That is radical, but it is a life that has already given me many wonderful experiences!'
In a follow-up Instagram post, Cerruti screenshotted some of the worst offenders
But some men chose to reduce Linda's stunning victories to the legs they were balanced on.
User Diego, for example, wrote: 'Very good... in the pool and outside.'
A flurry of similar comments prompted Cerruti to lambast the 'sexist' reactions.
In a follow-up post two days ago, she screenshotted some of the worst offenders and castigated the writers behind the leering comments.
Linda wrote: 'Two days ago I shared a photo taken on the beach where I often go,, where I dreamed my first dreams and which also has a strong symbolic value for me. The photo shows me in an artistic pose, typical of my sport, along with the eight medals won in what is the best European Championship of my career.
'But I am shocked and disgusted by the hundreds, probably thousands, of misguided, sexist and vulgar comments I have received since then.
'After more than 20 years of training and sacrifice, I find it embarrassing to say the least and it really hurts to read all this, the jokes people make to sexualize my body. Is a butt and two legs really the only things that exist and the most important topics to talk about?'
Cerruti (left) poses with a gold medal alongside Constanza Ferro (right) in Rome ten days ago
The star swimmer has amassed a huge following on Instagram, with more than 40,000 fans
She concluded: 'The least I can do is expose the inappropriateness of those comments. And hold them a mirror of a society that is still too sexist and very different from the one I would ever want to see my children born into.
'At the same time, I would like to thank all the people who have distanced themselves from these comments, defended me and appreciated the photo for what it is: the image of an artistic swimming athlete who is proud of her achievements.'
In less than 48 hours, that post received more than 50,000 likes - and looks set to overtake the original post's popularity. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11150059/Is-butt-really-main-topic-Swimmer-shows-medals-disgusted-comments.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-26T16:25:49Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11150059/Is-butt-really-main-topic-Swimmer-shows-medals-disgusted-comments.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 3 |
Tawonga Zakeyu is the oldest of 13 siblings. She grew up in Machinga District in the southern region of Malawi, the 12th-poorest country in the world.
Zakeyu is working for an organization called CAMFED – the Campaign for Female Education – on a key, often-overlooked strategy in the fight against the climate crisis: women's and girls' education.
And her own life story is an illustration of the many different benefits of this strategy. Thanks to CAMFED, she finished high school and college, studied abroad in Costa Rica and learned Spanish, and at the age of 24, she lives on her own, does work she loves, sends extra money back home and isn't thinking about getting married any time soon.
"It feels good that I'm contributing to someone's life," she says. "I can see the impact I'm making in a girl child's life."
Organizations like Drawdown and the Brookings Institution affirm that universal, high-quality education for all genders is key to tackling the climate crisis.
The most direct reason is that when girls are allowed to stay in school, they tend to wait longer to get married. This is especially important in countries like Malawi, where the average age of a woman at first birth was 19 in 2016, and women go on to have an average of four children. Educated girls, like Zakeyu, also become more economically empowered, which gives them more agency to access health-care services like birth control.
Unfortunately, the COVID pandemic was a major setback for girls' education in particular. Lockdowns shuttered schools around the world. Low-income countries suffered economically and on average took much longer to reopen schools. And girls were pushed to take on caregiving responsibilities and paid work. As a result, UNICEF calculated that over the next ten years, up to 10 million more girls are at the risk of becoming child brides.
The nexus between fertility and climate can be a tricky issue to talk about ethically. These organizations are clear that, first, rich countries are far more responsible for carbon emissions, and second, that coercive reproductive policies have no place in a climate agenda that respects human rights. Still, Drawdown, a nonprofit which focuses on solutions to the climate crisis, calculates that investment in voluntary – key word – family planning programs, together with universal high-quality education, could reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases by 68.90 gigatons between 2020 and 2050.
Education also helps women and their families survive climate disasters, which are becoming more frequent and more severe. Ruth Naylor, at the Education Development Trust, says that to take one striking example, in Bangladesh, girls weren't traditionally taught to swim. But by expanding access to swimming, the country "has really managed to turn the dial on how many women die in the floods." (In June, the country launched a massive new effort to offer swimming lessons to children 6-10).
"I don't want to put girls and women in a box as victims or as saviors," Naylor says.
"But if we think of vulnerabilities and agency, I think it's really important to think about girls education from that point of view, because ... we know that in climate-related disasters, it tends to be often a disproportionate number of girls and women who are impacted, who die, especially in flooding but also in droughts and and storms."
Climate resilience through women's education can take many other forms, like women learning to follow weather reports or choose more durable construction techniques for their homes. Or as Zakeyu is doing, to make farming more resilient and productive despite changing weather.
Zakeyu is training other girls to be a part of CAMFED's Agriculture Guides program. This program supports young women farmers, who tend to own small plots of land, to increase their yields and practice "climate-smart" agriculture. This includes techniques like drip irrigation, which uses water more efficiently; they teach a thrifty method, poking holes in reused plastic bottles. Women are also encouraged to switch to traditional crops like cassava that use less water, and to practice agroforestry, by planting trees to shade their crops, increasing yields while reducing water needs.
Zakeyu says the people she works with need no convincing of the reality of climate change. They can see it.
"I remember last year when I was talking to my mom ... and she was telling me that it hasn't started raining yet. And then in November it still wasn't raining, and the rain came around December. I was like, wow, because before, I would say, like 10 years ago, in October, November, people have already started planting, and by January, February, the maize is ready."
And when the rain does come, often it's in torrents. In February of this year, "It was raining, I think, for like four days and we didn't have electricity the entire four days and in some places we didn't have water. And right now, people at the lowest parts of Malawi, they are homeless because their houses, they fell down. Their animals, they're washed away." She says it's unfair that they are experiencing such severe effects from climate change, because people in Malawi are responsible for just 0.11 tons of carbon emissions per person; in the U.S. it's 15 tons per person.
Despite her frustrations, Zakeyu finds a lot of reward in her work, which she says has benefits at many different levels. "We want to restore our environment and then we want these women to have food at the same time, have enough to sell, to have money, to be economically empowered and not just for them, but also for their families, for their community." With her own life as an example, the young women she is training, and the young women farmers they are training, she is pushing back against a culture where families are more apt to pay school fees for a son than for a daughter. "With CAMFED, we are trying to teach the nation that when you educate a girl child, everything changes."

Demings clinches Democratic nomination to face Rubio in November
( The Hill ) – Rep. Val Demings is projected to have coasted to victory on Tuesday in Florida’s Democratic Senate primary and will take on Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in November.
Demings, a former Orlando police chief who first won her House seat in 2016, faced little serious opposition in the Democratic primary, giving her an easy path to the nomination.
The big question now is whether Demings will be able to flip control of a Senate seat in a state that has trended increasingly toward Republicans in recent years.
While Democrats see her as one of their best Senate recruits of the 2022 midterm cycle, Rubio has emerged from tough races before and has a history of outperforming other Republicans in Democrat-heavy Miami-Dade County, where he’s from. Florida Democrats have also struggled in recent years to fix a crumbling party infrastructure.
Still, both Democrats and Republicans say that the race is far from a lock for Rubio. For one, Florida has a history of ultra-close statewide elections, and Demings has proven to be a prolific fundraiser capable of outpacing her Republican rival. She brought in an eye-catching $12.2 million in the second quarter of the year.
She’s also sought to counter Republican attacks that she’s soft on crime and supports defunding the police by pointing to her career in law enforcement.
The Florida Senate race has so far attracted less national attention than some of the other marquee matchups this year, like the Senate contests in Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania.
But Democrats also see it as a potential pickup opportunity that could bolster their position at a time when their Senate majority is on the line. The upper chamber is split 50-50 and a net loss of even one Democratic seat this year would hand control of the Senate to the GOP.
Early polling also suggests that Demings may have a fighting chance against Rubio. A recent survey from the University of North Florida found Demings leading Rubio in a head-to-head matchup 48 percent to 44 percent.

Shia LaBeouf says that he has discovered Catholicism after a dark period in his life.
The actor, who was raised with both Jewish and Christian traditions, sat down with Bishop Robert Barron of the Word on Fire Catholic Ministries to talk about how his faith has helped him.
LaBeouf says he started studying Catholicism as he prepared for his upcoming movie, "Padre Pio," about the saint of the same name.

"It was seeing other people who have sinned beyond anything I could ever conceptualize also being found in Christ that made me feel like, 'Oh, that gives me hope,' " he said. "I started hearing experiences of other depraved people who had found their way — in this — and it made me feel like I had permission."
LaBeouf said at one point he felt suicidal and was experiencing deep shame over events that had unfolded in his life.
"I had a gun on the table. I was outta here," LaBeouf said. "I didn't want to be alive anymore when all this happened. Shame like I had never experienced before — the kind of shame that you forget how to breathe. You don't know where to go. You can't go outside and get like, a taco."

"But I was also in this deep desire to hold on," he added.
At the time, LaBeouf was going through a period of personal and professional tumult.
While preparing for his new role, LaBeouf lived in a monastery with Franciscan Capuchin friars.
"I know now that God was using my ego to draw me to Him. Drawing me away from worldly desires. It was all happening simultaneously. But there would have been no impetus for me to get in my car, drive up [to the monastery] if I didn't think, 'Oh, I'm gonna save my career,'" he said.

USDA scattering rabies vaccines for wildlife in 13 states
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has begun scattering millions of packets of oral rabies vaccine from helicopters and planes over 13 states from Maine to Alabama.
The major aim is to keep raccoons from spreading their strain of the deadly virus to states where it hasn’t been found or isn’t widespread, said field trial coordinator Jordona Kirby.
The USDA is also continuing tests of a vaccine approved in Canada to immunize skunks as well as raccoons, said Kirby of Wildlife Services, which is part of the agriculture department’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
Rabies is spread through an infected animal’s saliva, usually through bites. However, saliva that gets into the eyes, nose or mouth can also infect someone, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Thirteen people in South Carolina were considered potentially exposed in March because they had bottle-fed or given medicine to a sick calf that turned out to have rabies, said Dr. Michael Neault, the state veterinarian.
Globally, the virus kills 60,000 people a year, most bitten by dogs, the World Health Organization states.
That’s about the same number that get shots to prevent rabies in the U.S. after being bitten or scratched by an infected or possibly infected animal, according to the CDC.
State and local pet vaccination laws mean the virus is mostly spread by wildlife in the U.S.
The national rabies control program started in 1997 in Texas, where coyotes were spreading the canine variant of the virus, Kirby said.
She said vaccine drops eliminated that variant in 2004. Three years later, the CDC declared the nation free of canine rabies.
That doesn’t mean unvaccinated pets are safe. Canine rabies is among more than 20 variants — seven found in terrestrial mammals and more than 13 in species of bats, said rabies control program coordinator Richard Chipman.
A bite from an animal infected with any variant can make any other mammal sick. Scratches occasionally do so, since animals lick their paws.
A three-year program in Arizona and New Mexico eliminated a bat rabies strain in foxes, Kirby said. And Texas, with help from USDA, dropped 1.1 million baits along the Mexican border in January to keep coyotes from bringing the canine variant back.
Raccoons are the main rabies reservoir in 18 states along and near the East Coast and skunks in 21 others, according to data from 2020, the latest year available.
Bats made up 31% of the nearly 4,500 animals found with rabies in 2020. But since nearly all of the 40-plus bat species found in the U.S. eat insects and the rest drink nectar or eat fruit, oral vaccines would be much trickier.
Some scientists have speculated that bats could be vaccinated during hibernation, perhaps with a fine mist or with a gel that could be transferred from bat to bat, Chipman said. Early research is testing the idea in vampire bats, which live in Mexico and Central and South America and might spread such a vaccine within a colony by grooming each other.
Rabid wildlife isn’t just a rural problem. A rabid fox on Capitol Hill was caught less than 24 hours after the first report in April. By then, about a half-dozen people had reported bites or nips to U.S. Capitol Police, but others may have gone to other agencies, a Capitol Police spokesperson said by email.
Raccoon rabies campaigns started in August in parts of northern Maine, western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and southwestern Virginia. The 348,000 Raboral V-RG baits in Maine and 535,000 in the three other states are being dropped from planes in rural areas and from vehicles in urban and suburban areas.
In all, about 3.75 million packets — coated with a fishmeal attractant or encased in 1-inch (2.5-centimeter) fish meal cubes — will be distributed in nine states, ending when 1.1 million are dropped in Alabama in October.
The vaccine has been found safe for more than 60 kinds of animals including domestic dogs and cats. Eating a large number of vaccine packets might give dogs an upset stomach but wouldn’t cause any permanent problem, APHIS says.
About 3.5 million doses of the experimental vaccine Onrab are being distributed in parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Tennessee — which also are getting the approved vaccine — plus four other states.
Onrab comes in blister packs with green, marshmallow-flavored coating. Wildlife Services hopes it may be approved next year in spite of lingering pandemic-related delays.

Grace Christian School, one of three schools in Saskatchewan assigned a school administrator after abuse claims came out at one of the schools at the beginning of August is having its doors shut.
The move is the result of the director of the school failing to work with the administrator assigned to them, the education ministry said.
More than 40 former students have come forward with abuse allegations during their time at Christian Centre Academy, now known as Legacy Christian Academy.
Earlier this month, education minister Dustin Duncan announced Legacy Christian Academy, Grace Christian School, and Regent Academy would have an administrator appointed to them as each of these schools had someone associated with them that is named in a $25-million lawsuit alleging abuse at Christian Centre Academy and Mile Two Church.
The administrators’ priorities include directing operations to ensure student safety and well-being, and provide a “positive learning environment.”
“They will review staff lists and determine if the appropriate staff will continue to provide teaching and other services within the schools, to ensure there is strong communication with parents, and to provide leadership to the school staff,” read a release from the Ministry of Education on Monday.
“They will also be reviewing the school policies and procedures, as well as reviewing historical documentation in order to make recommendations for any changes that might be appropriate or necessary. In addition to ongoing communication, they will provide formal reports to the Ministry of Education at least monthly to ensure the schools are teaching Saskatchewan curricula.”
According to a provincial spokesperson, the provincial government revoked Grace Christian School’s permission to operate after the director of the school refused to work with the assigned administrator.
Former superintendent of education for Saskatoon Public Schools, Dave Derkson, was assigned to to look over Grace Christian School, and all three administrators began work Wednesday.
“The Director refused to cooperate with the administrator appointed to take on the management and operations of the school. Therefore, the Minister of Education cancelled Grace Christian School’s Certificate of Registration in the public interest as the Director is a named defendant in the current litigation,” a ministry statement read.
John Olubobokun is a named defendant in the lawsuit and used to work at Legacy Christian Academy. According to his LinkedIn page, he has been the director of Grace Christian School for the past four years.
Global News has reached out to Grace Christian School for a response.
A ministry spokesperson said they understand this situation has “created uncertainty” for students and families of the school. Derksen will help families find an alternative school in time for the upcoming school year. | https://globalnews.ca/news/9086539/grace-christian-school-saskatoon-license-revoked/ | 2022-08-26T16:46:57Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/9086539/grace-christian-school-saskatoon-license-revoked/ | true | 1 |
MOSCOW (AP) — Azerbaijan has reclaimed control of a strategic city on the edge of Nagorno-Karabakh, the leader of Azerbaijan said Friday.
President lham Aliyev said Azerbaijani forces have moved into the city of Lachin and two nearby villages. “I congratulate Lachin residents and the entire people of Azerbaijan,” he tweeted.
Lachin sits on a road that has served as the main link between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan has reclaimed control of the city and the “Lachin corridor” after building an alternate route in line with a Russia-mediated truce that ended a 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in a decades-old conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, which is part of Azerbaijan but has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a separatist war there ended in 1994.
During a six-week war in 2020 that killed more than 6,600 people, Azerbaijan reclaimed large parts of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas that had been controlled for decades by the Armenia-backed separatists.
The cease-fire in 2020 was mediated by Russia, which deployed about 2,000 troops to the region to serve as peacekeepers. | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Azerbaijan-reclaims-key-city-near-Nagorno-Karabakh-17400152.php | 2022-08-26T16:47:22Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Azerbaijan-reclaims-key-city-near-Nagorno-Karabakh-17400152.php | true | 24 |

Vaccine maker Moderna announced Friday that it's suing rival drugmakers Pfizer and BioNtech for patent infringement. The lawsuit alleges the two companies used certain key features of technology Moderna developed to make their COVID-19 vaccine. It argues that Pfizer and BioNtech's vaccine infringes patents Moderna filed between 2010 and 2016 for its messenger RNA or mRNA technology.
All three companies' COVID-19 vaccines used mRNA technology which is a new way to make vaccines. In the past, vaccines were generally made using parts of a virus, or inactivated virus, to stimulate an immune response. With mRNA technology, the vaccine uses messenger RNA created in a lab to send genetic instructions that teach our cells to make a protein or part of a protein that triggers an immune response.
In October 2020, Moderna pledged not to enforce its COVID-19 related patents while the pandemic was ongoing, according to a statement from the company. In March this year, it said it will stick to its commitment not to enforce its COVID-19 related patents in low and middle-income countries, but expects rival companies like Pfizer to respect its intellectual property.
Moderna is not seeking to remove the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine from the market, but is seeking monetary damages.
Moderna is filing the lawsuits against Pfizer and BioNTech in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts and the Regional Court of Düsseldorf in Germany. Pfizer has stated that it hasn't yet received the lawsuit, and can't comment, Reuters reports.

From a groundbreaking transgender character on Bold and the Beautiful to daytime's first-ever same-sex kiss on As The World Turns, soap operas have been tackling LGBTQ+ storylines for years.
While almost every soap currently on daytime has a same-sex couple, General Hospital, Young and the Restless, and B&B don't hold a candle to NBC'sDays of Our Lives in the LGBTQ+ representation department. DOOL has welcomed several LGBTQ+ characters who have been a part of everything from flings to supercouples.
Sonny And Leo
Sonny and Leo had to be one of the most catastrophic couples on Days of Our Lives for the way Leo wormed his way into Sonny's life just to frame him for sexual harassment, resulting in Sonny unintentionally "killing" Leo and enlisting Will to help him cover it up.
As disastrous as they were, the couple started with cute flirtations that linger to this day and are one-sided by Leo, who would always be up for a fling despite Sonny knocking him unconscious and rolling his presumably dead body in a rug.
Leo And Jackie Cox
This relationship was never seen on-screen, but its shocking aftermath was. The story goes that Leo married RuPaul's Drag Race alum Jackie Cox, who made a cameo on Days of Our Lives as themselves in 2022.
Cox barged into Salem to interrupt the wedding of Leo and Craig, announcing to the town square full of guests that they and Leo were still married, ending any chance of Leo marrying the man he truly loved.
Sonny And Evan
Aside from Will, Sonny's never had the best track record when it came to boyfriends. While his short-lived romance with Leo was detrimental, his relationship with Evan Frears was an unexpected disaster.
During his separation from Will, Sonny began dating Evan, growing a charming relationship until Evan reveals his true identity as Christian Maddox, the biological father of Rafe's son David who pulls a gun on Sonny after admitting his secret plan to claim his son.
Paul And Derrick
Paul's had a lot of boyfriends during his stints in Salem and beyond, but his shortest relationship had to be with poor Derrick. The Salem Inn bellboy befriended Paul after some innocent flirtations that eventually turned into dating.
But their fling lasted mere months when Derrick sensed the undeniable feelings between Paul and his ex-boyfriend Sonny. He helped the two realize their chemistry and disappeared from Salem, not to be seen again.
Paul and Andrew
Blossoming on the Peacock miniseries rather than on Days of Our Lives, when Paul appeared in Season 2 of Beyond Salem, no one expected him to find romance with the son of another famous Salemite.
Paul meets Andrew Donovan, son of Shane and Kimberly, when his father gets kidnapped after a Pride party. The openly gay ISA agent helps Paul track down the kidnapper, forming a close bond and eventual romance by the end of the season.
Leo And Craig
Say what you will about Leo Stark - all of Salem has - but his intentions were nothing but pure when it came to his relationship with Craig Wesley. Although he'd been married to a woman for decades, when Craig came out in 2022, no one expected his secret boyfriend to be slimeball Leo.
Their relationship may have ended in disaster thanks to Leo's skeevy ways. Still, their relationship was shown as sweet and loving until their wedding day, when everything went up in flames, leaving Leo out for revenge on those who broke up his relationship.
Sonny And Paul
Will may be Sonny's soulmate, but long before and long after his first go with Will, Sonny found himself in committed relationships with baseball player-turned-private investigator Paul Narita. Sonny and Paul rekindled their past romance to the point where they were just about to get married when Sonny got the news that his late husband, Will, was alive.
While the news of Will put a permanent wrench in their relationship, Paul and Sonny dated for years during Will's supposed death, seeing each other through trying times like Paul discovering his birth father and Sonny's struggles at Titan.
Allie And Chanel
When Will's little sister Allie Horton arrived in Salem pregnant with her first child and was thrown into a relationship with Tripp, no one expected her to wind up in a love triangle involving her twin brother and her best friend Chanel Dupree.
As long and drawn out and dramatic as it was, a fluid Chanel and the recently out as bisexual Allie finally admitted to their love, sharing both a romantic relationship and a bakery despite Allie's brother Johnny's jealousy.
Will And Paul
Although Will's relationship with Sonny will always be top tier, his short and sweet relationship with Paul Narita was just as beloved by viewers. While it only lasted a few months from when an amnesiac Will came back from the dead until he remembers his love story with Sonny, the relationship "Horita" was a cherished one.
Despite ending in disaster when Paul finds out Will kept his regained memories and desire for Sonny from him, the couple had instant chemistry. It brought an exciting combination of cute and romantic moments along with some adventurous and suspenseful ones to the series.
Will And Sonny
Holding supercouple status for a decade straight, no LGBTQ+ couple on DOOL will ever be as epic as Will and Sonny. When an out and proud Sonny Kiriakis arrived in Salem in 2011, he had no idea he would meet a struggling Will Horton and play one of the biggest roles in his coming-out story.
While soap opera drama didn't keep the love birds happy for long, with Will unexpectedly getting his ex-girlfriend pregnant, getting murdered and brought back to life, and going to prison for believing he killed Sonny's mother, the couple proved they were endgame by always coming out on top and letting their undeniable love guide their way. | https://collider.com/every-days-of-our-lives-lgbtq-couple-ranked/ | 2022-08-26T16:58:31Z | https://collider.com/every-days-of-our-lives-lgbtq-couple-ranked/ | true | 1 |

Town’s U21s continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 4-2 victory against Hull City at Bent Lane on Friday afternoon. Harley Curtis’s opener was soon cancelled out by two strikes from the visitors, but Jack Manly levelled before half-time and then put the Blues ahead in the second half, before a late penalty from Matt Ward (pictured) secured the three points.
John McGreal’s side started on the front foot and Manly blazed over before winger Jesse Nwabueze saw his shot gathered by Tigers keeper Tom Macauley soon after.
Curtis then put the young Blues ahead on 24. Albie Armin - who was playing in an unfamiliar central midfield role - played an inviting ball forwards that the striker beat Macauley to and although his initial effort bounced off the bar, Curtis managed to hook the ball over the line from close range.
Hull equalised just three minutes later though when a ball across the box was confidently met by a first-time finish from left-back Jake Leake.
Town rather lost their way after this quickfire response from the visitors and Sincere Hall added a second for the Tigers five minutes before the break with another good strike.
However, Manly grabbed his first of the game just before the interval after bursting forward and breaking free from a number of attempted fouls, and firing a shot low into the bottom corner.
Manly’s free-kick from the right was flicked goalbound by Armin on 49 but Macauley just about managed to tip the ball over his bar, shortly before Zanda Siziba flashed a shot high and wide from the edge of the box.
Siziba was fouled on the left side just before the hour mark – an incident which ultimately led to his substitution through injury – and Manly stepped up to score a clever free-kick by beating the keeper at his near post from out wide.
The goal seemed to settle Town down again and they went on to control much of the play in the second half with numerous chances created to extend the lead.
Brooklyn Kabongolo nodded Callum Page’s corner just wide, before Macauley made a fine diving save to push a Cameron Stewart header away from another set piece.
With four minutes remaining, another burst forward from energetic sub Ward led to him drawing a foul from Hall and he stepped up to beat Macauley from the spot.
There was still time for Ward to tee-up the impressive Ash Boatswain, who crashed a shot off the far post and the rebound cannoned off a visiting defender and hit the bar before the ball was eventually cleared.
The Blues, who were watched by first-team manager Kieran McKenna, following his lunchtime press conference, and most of his coaching staff during the second half, recovered well from their first-half setback, and ended up deserving the three points.
Manly took his goals well and thrived in the number 10 role, while Boatswain and Ward both caught the eye with good performances after the break.
U21s: Hayes, Agbaje, Hudson, Alexander (c), Kabongolo, Stewart, Siziba (Ward 60), Armin, Curtis (Boatswain 46), Manly (F Barbrook 74), Nwabueze (Page 74). Unused: Williamson.

Expanded capacity supports increased natural gas demand in the Rockies and Western U.S.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To meet the growing energy demands in the Rockies and Western U.S., Spire Storage is proceeding with the expansion of its facilities in Wyoming, with partial availability of additional natural gas storage capacity in fiscal 2024 and more in 2025.
"We've seen an increasing recognition of the value of natural gas storage over the last few years given the impact on energy security caused by Winter Storm Uri in 2021 and recent global events. Natural gas plays a key role in ensuring that security for the future," said Scott Smith, president of Spire Storage. "Natural gas storage also helps to support and balance seasonal gas heating demand and the intermittent nature of renewable power generation, which is an increasingly important generation source in the Western U.S."
Consistent with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) 7(c) project approval and FERC's issuance of a Notice to Proceed, Spire Storage started limited construction of the initial project phase in mid-August. Full project completion is expected to take place over the next two years during construction seasons that run April through October in Wyoming.
The expansion project will increase Spire Storage underground working gas storage capacity from 23 Bcf to 39 Bcf, and involves the addition of injection and withdrawal wells, compression, pipeline infrastructure, and gas processing capability. Capital expenditures for the project are expected to total $195 million.
With this expansion, Spire Storage will be in a stronger position to serve Western U.S. markets, given its interconnects with five pipelines serving California, the Rockies, and the Southwest and Northwest. The project is anticipated to deliver expanded services to existing and new customers, as well as a strong return on investment. We anticipate earnings per share accretion beginning in fiscal 2025.

Special council meeting called for Friday afternoon to appoint Con Johnson permanent Antioch city manager
Barbanica, Ogorchock all four other council candidates want to wait until after the election and let the new council decide
Antioch Police Officers Association issues supportive statement of interim police chief during contract negotiations
By Allen D. Payton
It was announced by Mayor Lamar Thorpe on Monday that a special Antioch City Council meeting will be held this Friday, to hire Con Johnson as the permanent city manager and Dr. Steve Ford as permanent chief of police, less than 90 days before the November election. Today, Thursday, the agenda was released showing a closed session meeting will be held tomorrow, Friday, Aug. 26 at 4:30 p.m. when most Antioch residents are still at work. It does not include the hiring of a permanent police chief only for a “PUBLIC EMPLOYEE APPOINTMENT pursuant to Government Code section 54957: Title: City Manager”. The meeting agenda does not include the name of the candidate nor a copy of the contract for the public to review and provide input prior to the council’s closed session. (See related articles here, here and here)
All of it is not sitting well with two council members and all four other challengers in this year’s city council races.
Asked on April 27 if the council would start the hiring process for a permanent police chief, this year or wait until the end of the year, Mayor Lamar Thorpe stated, “no, we’ve started that process.” But that is not true according to at least two other council members.
Both Mayor Pro Tem Mike Barbanica and District 3 Councilwoman Lori Ogorchock said they knew nothing about the mayor’s announcement before it was made, and that the council has yet to vote on a process for hiring a permanent city manager or police chief. The council in the past hasn’t hired the police chief, who is a department head and is usually hired by the city manager. But the current council majority has made it clear they want to be the ones to decide. Attempts to reach Districts 1 and 4 Councilwomen Tamisha Torres-Walker and Monica Wilson asking if they were aware of the announcement were unsuccessful.
Asked when the council had voted on the appointment process for a permanent city manager or chief of police Ogorchock responded, “no, we have not voted on this, it has not come before council.”
Asked about the appointment on Friday’s agenda she responded, “number one the mayor doesn’t have the power to appoint. I don’t know what’s going to be discussed in closed session. There needs to be a process. We do need to discuss our options in hiring a new city manager. The council gets the final say not the mayor.”
Asked if the decision should wait until after the election for the new council to choose a new city manager, Ogorchock said, “It’s in a very long process. If we started the process, now, number one you have to hire the consultant if we’re not going to hire from within and that is a process in itself. It would actually, possibly be the new council that would make the decision.”
“I believe the new council should be choosing the new city manager because it’s their employee,” she added.
In response to a comment that any decisions shouldn’t be made until after the election and a new council is seated, Barbanica replied, “100% agree it should be after the election.”
In response to Thorpe’s announcement, the Antioch Police Officers Association, whose members’ contract was on Tuesday night’s council meeting agenda for approval, issued the following statement on Monday:
“As is customary when a change of leadership occurs within the Antioch Police Officer’s Association, the new president (Sergeant Rick Hoffman) and Vice President (Corporal Loren Bledsoe) met with the mayor and other city leaders to discuss the state of the police department and city going forward. The APOA leaders spoke with the mayor about various topics including transparency, reform, ongoing training and interim Chief Ford. The APOA has had the pleasure of working with interim Chief Ford and appreciate his vision and his leadership. The APOA has enjoyed great working relationships with our Chiefs through the years, most recently with Chief Tammany Brooks, Interim Chief Morefield and now Interim Chief Ford.
Should there be a process to fill our department’s permanent Chief position, the APOA will support and respect the process and will be prepared to have a good working relationship with the Chief who is ultimately selected. Should interim Chief Ford be selected to fill the permanent Chief position, we will fully support him and will be eager to continue the work we have started together.
APOA President Rick Hoffman”
Council Candidates Oppose Making Hiring Decision, Now
Former Antioch Councilwoman and District 1 candidate, Joy Motts said she was shocked that the mayor is pushing this without a public process.
“Even if you have your mind made up there should at least be a public process for transparency,” she said. “I think they should wait until after the election, absolutely. This is the most critical hire in the city. To not allow other applicants or the existing assistant city manager to apply is just wrong. Antioch deserves the best and the brightest. Mr. Johnson may be that person, but the residents of Antioch will never know because the council didn’t do their due diligence.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen this happen like this,” Motts continued. “Have you ever seen another city that didn’t bring in a list of competent candidates for council to review? And what would have been wrong with doing that? I don’t get it.”
“If you look up the requirements of a city manager, you’re really at the highest, management, public works, engineering. To not even allow Assistant City Manager Rosanna Bayon Moore to apply is not right,” the once and now candidate for District 1 council member stated. “Lamar said at Ron’s (Bernal) retirement party, this is why we approved the hiring of an assistant city manager, so we would have someone to take Ron’s place.”
I was on council when we hired Rosanna. Ron needed help and we needed a succession plan. Lamar said that’s why we hired her and then he doesn’t even give her the chance.”
“She’s been there for three years and proven herself. Rosanna should have been allowed to apply and others, too.”
Former Antioch School Board president, Diane Gibson-Gray who is also running in District 1 said, “I think it’s something that should wait until after the council is seated following the election. What’s the rush? I know Con has a one-year contract. So, I don’t understand the urgency. It’s politics.”
“I believe a city manager hiring process should include allowing applicants from inside the city and outside the city so that the best candidate is hired,” she added.
District 4 Council candidates Shawn Pickett and Sandra White are also opposed to the hiring of both city officials, now.
“It lacks transparency with the process,” Pickett said. “Was that process known to the public and other council members? Did you write down any notes about their performance? Still, nobody knows. It lacks a clear and transparent process. No one knows the process.”
“You can’t use a criminal investigation led by the DA’s office and the FBI as your basis for hiring a city manager and police chief. Is it all behind closed doors? You can’t expect transparency if you’re not going to be transparent as the mayor. You can’t hold the police department accountable if you’re not holding yourself accountable,” the retired Richmond police lieutenant said.
Asked what his thoughts are about it happening now before the election, Pickett responded, “what’s the rush? It’s only three or four months before the election takes place. A new council might not agree with his selection.”
“It does a serious disservice to Con Johnson and Steve Ford,” the council candidate continued. “I would want a process that is clearly outlined. I would like to have participated in that openly.”
“Did you get input from the other council members? The fact that he (Thorpe) didn’t shows a lack of transparency,” Pickett continued. “Where is your effort to make the police department better. They failed to lead. Defunding and reform and reimagine are all trick words. How about expanding? How about a regulatory unit? You’re bringing all these cannabis businesses to town. That’s making Antioch PD better. All these reform bombs aren’t doing a thing. You can pay these cops a million dollars but if they’re not feeling appreciated, then they’re not going to want to come to work. That’s with any job.”
“It seems like everything they do is short sighted, not based on fact,” he added.
Asked if the council should wait until after the next election to hire a permanent city manager and police chief Pickett responded, “what are we trying to accomplish at the city manager position and the police chief’s position? The blank area is that expectation. If we want to find the best person for the city and have public input, then you do a nationwide search.”
“If you have council members who haven’t been informed or the public, then it’s not fair or a transparent process,” he continued. “Did you ask the community their expectations and have a survey online?”
“Should they wait? I would say yes. Because they should have a transparent process. Always err on the side of transparency. I don’t see that happening in any decision being made,” Pickett added.
When reached for comment about Thursday’s meeting, White said, “The hiring of a city manager should be open to the public. Legally they have a right to do it. Also, legally the new council, if the city manager, is not good, they can fire him.”
“Speaking from my professional experience I want to know what’s in the contract, what have they built in his offer, is there a parachute compensation? If he is prematurely let go, based on poor performance then is he out the severance? We need to know that,” she stated. “I need to know if we’re stuck with him or not. That makes a big difference. There’s generally a probationary period. Is that in the contract?”
“My position on this is the decision should be made after the election closes and it should be open to the public,” White added.
Asked for her thoughts on holding the meeting at 4:30 p.m. White responded, “The meeting should be held so that every working citizen can have the opportunity to attend the meeting if they choose to do so.”
“They need to have better transparency,” she added.
Questions for Thorpe, Wilson, Torres-Walker and City Attorney
Questions were sent shortly after 5:00 p.m. Thursday to Thorpe, Wilson, Torres-Walker and City Attorney Thomas Smith.
Thorpe was asked, “are you planning on taking a vote in closed session tomorrow to hire a permanent city manager? Or are you expecting the council to discuss beginning the hiring process? If it’s the former, shouldn’t the agenda include a copy of the contract for the public to review and give input on before the council takes a vote? Also, shouldn’t it be the next council after the election that chooses who they are going to work with for the next two to four years? Why are you again holding an afternoon meeting on such an important matter when most residents who commute out of the city to work aren’t able to attend and give the council their input before you hold the closed session?”
About Motts’ comments on the current assistant city manager, Thorpe was also asked, “Is that true? If so, will you consider Rosanna Bayon Moore for the position of city manager?”
Smith was asked, “does the candidate’s name and contract have to be provided to and the vote taken in public?”
Wilson and Walker were asked, “shouldn’t the decision to hire a permanent city manager wait until after the election?”
No responses were received by 7:45 p.m. Please check back later for any updates to this report.
A special council meeting will follow at 5:00 p.m. in which the items not dealt with during this past Tuesday’s regular council meeting will be addressed. See complete agenda for both the closed session and special meetings, here: 082622.pdf (antiochca.gov)

Biden calls abortion restrictions ‘beyond the pale’
WASHINGTON (AP) — As Republican-led states continue to ban nearly all abortions, President Joe Biden said Friday that such restrictions were “beyond the pale.”
Biden and Democrats are trying to harness outrage over the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion nationwide, in this year’s midterm elections.
“You’re going to hear women roar on this issue, and it’s going to be consequential,” he said.
Biden made the comments at a White House meeting of state and local officials to talk about ways to expand access to abortion and to mark Women’s Equality Day.
Biden reiterated his desire for Congress to codify Roe v. Wade into law, but “we’re short a handful of votes,” he said.
Democrats would need 10 Republican votes to overcome a filibuster and get a bill through the 50-50 Senate, but only two GOP senators have publicly backed abortion rights. And even though they narrowly control the Senate, Democrats don’t have enough votes to sidestep the filibuster.
“The only way it’s going to happen if the American people make it happen in November,” Biden said.
In the meantime, Biden has been looking for ways to protect abortion access. But his options are limited.
Idaho, Tennessee and Texas are the latest Republican-led states to tighten their restrictions. They’ve been implementing so-called “trigger laws” that were put on the books to severely limit abortions if Roe was overturned, which happened in June.
Lina Hidalgo, the county judge from Harris County, Texas, called her state’s law a “slap in the face.”
“I think you speak for the majority of the American people,” Biden responded.

– Words and photography by Lia Crowe
As we begin our descent down the east side of the Okanagan Connector mountain pass, which runs from Merritt to Kelowna, the landscape quickly changes from a green forest of fir and aspen trees to a dryer landscape of pine and bunch grasses. My partner and I immediately feel the temperature warm up a few degrees. And then, like a majestic queen, Okanagan Lake suddenly appears in our view: blue, sparkling and impressive in its immensity.
Okanagan Lake is like a magnet around the centre of which Okanagan life orbits. The picturesque towns of Peachland, Summerland and Naramata dot its perimeter and the larger cities of Penticton and Kelowna hug its shores.
They are all connected by fruit-producing land with orchards and wineries that flow from the hills down to the fresh water. And as the summer temperatures start to creep up, the lake is the place to be—this is where valley residents and visitors get to play.
Winding along West Kelowna’s Boucherie Road, we pass numerous wineries that beckon with the promise of cool Chardonnay—with notes of honeycrisp apple and butterscotch—or bright pinot gris, refreshing in its minerality. But the wineries will have to wait because after our lengthy drive from Vancouver Island, our ultimate destination comes into view—Hotel Eldorado, Okanagan lakeside luxury at its finest.
Hotel Eldorado has been a hidden gem of Okanagan hospitality since 1926. Beautifully situated right on Okanagan Lake, “The El” has a private boardwalk that glows in the evening with twinkling lights, a luxury marina that offers boat and personal watercraft rentals, along with daily and weekly moorage for all in-house guests’ boats. It immediately sets the tone of stepping back in time to an era of luxurious elegance.
We open the door to our lavish lake-view suite and let out a big sigh as we flop onto the comfy king-sized bed. The sound of waves lapping the shore and a sweet breeze fill the room from the open window, and our nervous systems start a slow unwind.
Later that evening we have dinner in the Eldorado dining room, where an old-fashioned wooden rowboat suspended from the ceiling gives the room a lovely feeling of warmth against the backdrop of the blue lake that turns grey as the last light fades from the sky.
We sample buttery steelhead trout with burrata salad to start, and then dive into Cornish game hen and a vegetarian coconut curry, all paired with mouthwatering Okanagan wines.
Our server delights us by offering a bit of the history of The El, which was founded by Countess Bubna, an aristocratic English woman, who decades earlier had been married to an Austrian count.
But the highlight of the dinner for me—and my sweet tooth—is the pina colada dessert of compressed pineapple, passionfruit cremeux, coconut rum sorbet and almond financier.
The next morning at the West Kelowna Yacht Club, we meet Wes and Tara Swaren and their family, who are taking us out on the lake on their Starcraft pontoon boat—which is like a floating living room—for some fun in the sun. Wes and Tara regale us with stories about summer on the lake as we sip cold rosé. The lake bustles with life, and activity on it is essential, they say, as Okanagan summer temperatures can soar, hitting close to 50 degrees Celsius last summer.
The three Swaren daughters laugh and smile as their dad pushes the pontoon boat into high gear. I face the wind and look down the long lake and start to get what it’s all about. Suddenly my hat flies off, landing far away on the water’s surface. Tara’s husband turns the boat around and the girls jump into action as one assures me that this happens all the time. As I place my rescued and now soaking hat back on my head, I feel—just like that—I’m inducted into lake life.
Looking to join the fun? Here are some of the many ways to enjoy life on the lake in Kelowna.
To the beach
Okanagan Lake is home to over 30 beaches, and many of them have playgrounds, concessions and bathrooms. Five of the most popular beaches in Kelowna are Hot Sands Beach, Boyce-Gyro Beach, Rotary Beach, Sarsons Beach, and Strathcona Park.
On the lake:
There are many, many ways to have fun on the lake, where the summertime water temperature averages 19 to 23 degrees Celsius. Things you can rent include: stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), wakeboards, sailboats, houseboats, jet skis, pedal-boats, charter boats, flyboards, kayaks and canoes.
With a host of marinas, serene bays and isolated beaches, boating is a great way to explore the 135-kilometre-long lake that stretches north and south from Kelowna. Numerous marinas, yacht clubs, charters and rental companies dot the shoreline in both directions. Several marinas on the lake have gas bars with convenience stores.
Boaters can take their time on the lake in some sort of vessel, or try parasailing, wind-surfing or learning to wakeboard. Another opportunity? Finish the day with an evening dinner and dance on one of the local charter cruises.
SUP trail
If stand-up paddle boarding is your thing, Okanagan Lake offers a 27-kilometre SUP trail that runs from McKinley Beach to Bertram Creek Regional Park. Running along Kelowna’s shoreline, the trail has many buoys to guide paddlers along their way. Paddle by more than 20 beaches and parks, three waterfront resorts and two bird sanctuaries, as well as downtown Kelowna. Paddlers can choose to explore part of the trail or test their stamina by paddling the whole thing. Either way, it’s a great chance to take in the beautiful sights from the water.
Scuba diving

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky lawmakers passed sweeping legislation Friday injecting nearly $213 million into flood-ravaged Appalachia, wrapping up their work in a special session devoted to assisting with the mammoth challenge of recovery.
The House voted 97-0 to send the state aid package to the Senate, which gave final passage a short time later. The bill goes to Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, who convened the special session.
The relief measure for the flood-stricken portions of eastern Kentucky is seen as an initial installment of support. The Republican-dominated legislature will assess the region's ongoing needs when lawmakers reconvene in January for their next regular session.
“This is the first step,” said state Rep. John Blanton, who represents an area hard hit by the floodwaters. “We've got to come back and we've got to see what the needs are.”
The legislative action comes less than a month after historic flooding destroyed homes and businesses and caused significant damage to schools, roads, bridges and water systems. The disaster caused at least 39 deaths and robbed thousands of families of all of their possessions.
The aid package would dip into the state’s massive budget reserves to help cities, counties, school districts and utilities recover. The influx of state assistance — coupled with federal aid and private donations — is seen as crucial to rebuilding in eastern Kentucky.
The eastern Kentucky relief plan would draw $200 million from the reserve fund.
The biggest chunk — $115 million — would provide support to cities, counties, school districts, state agencies and utility service providers. Another $45 million would help repair and replace bridges and roads. And $40 million would be used for repairs to school buildings, for additional transportation costs for displaced students and services for children and families.
Nearly $12.7 million in federal funds will be used for water and sewer infrastructure projects.
It’s the second time within a year that Kentucky lawmakers have taken up emergency relief stemming from epic weather disasters. The flood-related measure is similar to tornado-relief legislation for the other end of the state. Earlier this year, lawmakers passed a $200 million aid package for portions of western Kentucky devastated by tornadoes in December. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Lawmakers-pass-flood-relief-legislation-for-17400274.php | 2022-08-26T17:19:57Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Lawmakers-pass-flood-relief-legislation-for-17400274.php | false | 11 |
Chesterfield newly-weds raise a toast to Home Secretary Priti Patel who saved their big day
A north Derbyshire woman and her American fiance have tied the knot at a dream wedding in Chesterfield after the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, swooped to their rescue.
Carolyn Wellington married Trent Jenkins at Chesterfield Register Office yesterday (Thursday) in front of their families and friends, followed by a reception at Casa Hotel.
The new Mrs Jenkins said: “We had the best time – it was absolutely fabulous, amazing.”
Sports therapist and wellbeing coach Carolyn, who lives in Doe Lea, called on Priti Patel to intervene after a delay in the consideration of Trent’s application for a UK Visitors Marriage Visa – despite him submitting it within the required time.

Carolyn said: “Without Priti Patel, we wouldn’t have got married yesterday; she turned it around so quickly. We are so grateful for everything she's done. I am going to be sending her a thank you letter alongside a wedding photo of Trent and I."
The couple invited the Home Secretary to their wedding but work commitments prevented her from attending. Carolyn said: “Priti Patel sent us a lovely personal letter, apologising for not being able to attend and wished us all the best for our wedding day and our futures. She sent us a beautiful gift – Fortnum and Mason champagne and truffles.”
Trent and Carolyn tied the knot in front of all five of their grown-up children from previous marriages. Carolyn’s son Carlton, 32, and Trent’s son Tayson, 24, the youngest of his three children, were witnesses. The bride was attended by her daughter Maritina, 22, who was bridesmaid and Carolyn’s friend of 40 years, Morag (Meg) Forbes as the matron of honour.
Guests from abroad included two Belizean cousins of Caroline’s. She said: “I lost my father in 2010 and these two people represent my father – they are so important to me. Dellone is the female version of my father and Darren is the younger version of my father.”
Carolyn, 62, wore a fitted dress embellished with diamantes and a gem-encrusted veil. She commented: “Trent said to me ‘When you walked into the register office in the dress you looked like you were 30 years old’.”
His wedding gift to her was a long, blue evening dress which she wore that night at a party attended by 60 guests. Carolyn said: “It’s an absolutely stunning dress – so elegant, with lots of sparkly diamante on.” Trent, 63, received a groom’s box containing cuff links, little personal items and a bottle of champagne from his bride.
The couple were the last to leave their wedding reception. Carolyn said: “It was 1am – everyone had gone and there was just Trent and me on the dance floor.”
They plan to honeymoon in the Maldives but haven’t yet fixed a date. “Trent is here until August 30,” said Carolyn. “Then he’s heading back with our marriage certificate ready to start the process for me to move over to Phoenix, Arizona, which could take six months to a year.
"It’s always hard to say goodbye but now we're married we know that we're together for life.” | https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/people/chesterfield-newly-weds-raise-a-toast-to-home-secretary-priti-patel-who-saved-their-big-day-3821497 | 2022-08-26T17:21:13Z | https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/people/chesterfield-newly-weds-raise-a-toast-to-home-secretary-priti-patel-who-saved-their-big-day-3821497 | true | 1 |
Redacted affidavit related to FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate released
Fourteen of the 15 boxes recovered from former US president Donald Trump’s Florida estate earlier this year contained documents with classification markings, according to an FBI affidavit released on Friday explaining the justification for the search of the property this month.
The 32-page affidavit, even in its redacted form, contains additional details about an ongoing criminal investigation that has brought fresh legal peril for Mr Trump just as he lays the groundwork for another presidential run.
It underscores the volume of sensitive government documents located at Mar-a-Lago and reveals FBI concerns that the records were being retained illegally.
Though the document offers the most substantial description of the investigation, federal officials also redacted significant portions of it to protect the identity of witnesses and to avoid revealing sensitive investigative tactics.
The FBI submitted the affidavit, or sworn statement, to a judge so it could obtain a warrant to search Mr Trump’s property.
Affidavits typically contain vital information about an investigation, with agents spelling out the justification for why they want to search a particular property and why they believe they are likely to find evidence of a potential crime there.
But affidavits routinely remain sealed during pending investigations, making the judge’s decision to reveal portions of it all the more striking.
In an acknowledgment of the extraordinary public interest in the investigation, US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart on Thursday ordered the department by Friday to make public a redacted version of the affidavit.
The directive came hours after federal law enforcement officials submitted under seal the portions of the affidavit that they want to keep secret as their investigation moves forward.
The redactions proposed by the Justice Department are extensive given the sensitivity of the investigation, lessening the likelihood that the document will offer a comprehensive look at the basis for the unprecedented search or significant insights about the direction of the probe.
Yet even a redacted affidavit can contain at least some fresh revelations about the investigation, and is likely to help explain why federal agents who had tried for months to recover sensitive government records from Mar-a-Lago ultimately felt compelled to obtain a search warrant.
Documents previously made public show the FBI retrieved from the property 11 sets of classified documents, including information marked at the top secret level.
They also show that federal agents are investigating potential violations of three federal laws, including one that governs gathering, transmitting or losing defence information under the Espionage Act.
The other statutes address the concealment, mutilation or removal of records and the destruction, alteration or falsification of records in federal investigations.
It is possible that the affidavit, particularly in its unredacted form, could shed light on key unanswered questions, including why sensitive presidential documents – classified documents, among them – were transported to Mar-a-Lago after Mr Trump left the White House and why Mr Trump and his representatives did not supply the entire tranche of material to the National Archives and Records Administration despite repeated entreaties.
It could also offer additional details on the back-and-forth between Mr Trump and the FBI, including a subpoena for documents that was issued last spring, as well as a June visit by FBI and Justice Department officials to assess how the materials were being stored.
The Justice Department had earlier contested arguments by media organisations to make the affidavit public, saying any disclosure could contain private information about witnesses and about investigative tactics.
But Judge Reinhart, acknowledging the extraordinary public interest in the investigation, said last week that he was disinclined to keep the entire document sealed and told federal officials to submit to him in private the redactions it wanted to make.
In his order on Thursday, Judge Reinhart said the department had made compelling arguments to leave sealed broad swathes of the document that, if disclosed, would reveal grand jury information; the identities of witnesses and “uncharged parties”; and details about the investigation’s “strategy, direction, scope, sources and methods”.
But he also said he was satisfied “that the government has 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”.

Earlier this summer, when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez hit the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, the actor and director broke out a white dinner jacket (from his closet, per Lopez’s newsletter) for the festivities. This weekend, when they celebrated their union with a larger ceremony, Affleck went back to his trusty formalwear formula. This time, though, he dialled up a new look from Ralph Lauren: a tuxedo consisting of a single-button cream dinner jacket with peak lapels, black bow tie, white piqué bib shirt, black double-pleated pants, and black patent shoes.
There are no hard and fast rules for a wedding outfit. But you’re never going to be unhappy if you go classic and timeless—eternal, like your commitment. And it’s hard to get more timeless than a white dinner jacket with pleated trousers and patent-leather shoes. (Bonus points for matching your bride, as Ben Affleck did: Lopez wore a series of dresses from Ralph Lauren.) The lesson? Great style, like a great love, never goes out of fashion. | https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashion/article/ben-affleck-jennifer-lopez-wedding-suit | 2022-08-26T17:30:48Z | https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashion/article/ben-affleck-jennifer-lopez-wedding-suit | false | 2 |
After fuelling Canada’s economy through the COVID-19 pandemic, the real estate market is showing signs of weakness as home prices fall and bidding wars dissipate.
It’s welcome news for prospective buyers hoping for a better price. But as the busy fall season nears, realtors and economists are at odds over how long the pricing slide will last and how low it will go.
“The fall is going to be interesting because we’re going to see probably more buyers jumping into the market and you don’t need a ton more buyers to provide a little bit more stability to prices,” said John Pasalis, president of Realosophy Realty Inc. in Toronto.
“Just a little bit of a bump in demand could be the difference between homes selling in three, four weeks versus selling in two weeks or selling a lot faster.”
The average home price is still above pre-pandemic levels, but increasing mortgage rates and inflationary pressures are weighing on the market.
When pandemic lockdowns began in March 2020, the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board said the average home price in the area — one of Canada’s hottest — sat at $902,680. Last month, it was $1,074,754, a one per cent hike from July 2021, but a six per cent drop from June 2022.
The latest data from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) showed prices hit $629,971 in July, down five per cent from $662,924 last July. On a seasonally adjusted basis, it amounted to $650,760, a three per cent drop from June. When pandemic lockdowns began in March 2020, the average national price was $543,920.
The association forecast the national average home price will rise by 10.8 per cent on an annual basis to $762,386 by the end of 2022 and hit $786,252 in 2023.
But some economists are anticipating an even greater price reduction.
In June, a trio of Desjardins economists said they expected the average national home price to fall by 15 per cent between its February high — $817,253 — and the end of 2023, but because “we’re almost there,” they adjusted their forecast in August to predict a drop between 20 and 25 per cent.
“Home prices continue to fall and have further to go before they find a bottom,” said Randall Bartlett, Hélène Bégin and Marc Desormeaux, in a report released July 11.
“That said, we still believe home prices will end 2023 above pre-pandemic levels nationally and in all 10 provinces.”
In anticipation of a drop in prices, agents have noticed prospective buyers sitting on the sidelines of the market in recent months, while sellers come to terms with the fact that their homes won’t fetch as much money as they would have at the start of the year.
Lori Fralic calls it a “stalemate.”
“We are seeing lowball offers,” said the Vancouver agent with Keller Williams Realty VanCentral.
“There’s lots of bargain hunters out there who are throwing out offers but if they don’t have to sell, a lot of sellers are saying, ‘no, sorry, not taking it.”
It’s a change from the torrid pace of sales and frenzied bidding wars seen earlier in the year and late last year.
Much of the shift is attributable to mortgage rates, which mirror fluctuations in interests rates and can eat into buying power.
The Bank of Canada increased its key interest rate by one percentage point to 2.5 per cent in July in the largest hike the country has seen in 24 years.
Economists foresee the increases continuing and Fralic said they’re already encouraging people who don’t need to buy immediately to hold off.
She’s seen a drop in prices in B.C., but said it’s not as much of a decrease as many expected.
“If people are thinking (prices) are going to plummet, I don’t think that’s accurate,” she said.
“If you look at the 10-year average of Metro Vancouver, housing prices are way up and if they do dip, they might dip slightly and come back up. There’s always been sort of a steady incline with dips along the way.”
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver said the composite benchmark price for the region — often Canada’s hottest — sat at more than $1.2 million in July, a roughly 10 per cent increase from July 2021 and a two per cent drop from June 2022.
“It’s anyone’s guess how much prices will fall,” Sherry Cooper, chief economist at Dominion Lending Centres, said.
Markets, she said, tend to be very localized and the surges or drops some see may not be mimicked in others.
For example, she said Alberta has not seen the slowdown many other Canadian markets have because its energy sector is much stronger than it was in the past.
But Cooper noted home sales activity have declined very sharply in the Greater Toronto Area, the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area and in parts of British Columbia around Vancouver.
“It’s the markets that experienced the 50 per cent increase in home prices that have seen the biggest correction, and that’s what you’d expect because those are the most expensive homes in Canada with the largest outstanding mortgages.”

Mike Reiss of ESPN.com notes that the expectation is for Jones and most of the Patriots' top players to see minimal action in Friday's preseason finale against the Raiders.
Per Reiss, Jones and co. got in some good work during a pair of joint practices with the Raiders this week, so it seems likely that key starters who suit up Friday will log limited snaps. In that context, rookie QB Bailey Zappe is a candidate to see extended action in New England's exhibition finale. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/patriots-mac-jones-minimal-snaps-expected-friday/ | 2022-08-26T17:36:10Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/patriots-mac-jones-minimal-snaps-expected-friday/ | true | null |
The six locations where benefits could be STOPPED in major Universal Credit shake up
MILLIONS of people are set to be affected by a huge benefits shake-up.
The government is currently moving those on so-called "legacy benefits" such as tax credits onto Universal Credit.
It is estimated around 2.6million people are still on these old-style benefits, but the government plans to move all claimants onto Universal Credit by the end of 2024.
The move, called Managed Migration, began in May and came after a successful pilot in Harrogate in July 2019.
People affected by the shift will be sent a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions, which will guide them on what to do to retain financial support.
Around 500 people in Medway and Bolton have already been sent letters, followed by households in Truro, Falmouth and Harrow in West London.
Now, the government's announced claimants in Northumberland will be sent letters from September 12.
Up to 250 people will start to receive the Migration Notice letters from this date.
Not all legacy benefit claimants will receive a letter though.
But the 250 who do will be told in the letter the exact date they need to claim Universal Credit by.
Most read in Money
There will be other instructions for them to follow on the letter and a dedicated helpline for people to call to get help.
If they don't want to call the helpline, they can visit their nearest jobcentre.
If you don't know where yours is, you can find it by using this online tool.
There are currently 24,000 Universal Credit claimants living in Northumberland.
The six legacy benefits being replaced by Universal Credit are:
- Working Tax Credit
- Child Tax Credit
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income Support
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Housing Benefit
Will I be better off on Universal Credit?
Around 1.4million on benefits could be better off now by moving on to Universal Credit, to the tune of £220 a month on average.
But make sure you'll be better off after making the shift, as you can't move back after.
If you want to work out whether you'll be better off by moving across to Universal Credit, there are free online calculators that can help you to do so.
You can find them from charities such as Turn2Us, EntitledTo and also Martin Lewis' MoneySavingExpert.
According to MSE's calculator, you could be worse off on Universal Credit if any of the following apply to you:
- You're a lone parent who works but doesn't pay rent
- You have a disability and you're in work, but you don't pay rent
- You're a self-employed worker earning less than the minimum income floor
- You have savings over £16,000
Mr Lewis has previously predicted out of the 2.6million on old legacy benefits which are being transferred across to Universal Credit, around 35% could be worse off.
Citizens Advice also has a Help to Claim service to support Universal Credit claims.
When you'll be invited to move your old legacy benefits across will depend on where you live, but more are expected to follow.
If you think you'll be better off you can start making a Universal Credit claim and your old benefits will end.
You will have a wait for your first Universal Credit payment, which could be up to five weeks and could leave you short.
You can get an advance, which is interest-free, but you'll pay this back in instalments from future payments which will reduce how much you get each month. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/19533853/universal-credit-managed-migration-legacy-benefits-move-date/ | 2022-08-26T17:36:30Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/19533853/universal-credit-managed-migration-legacy-benefits-move-date/ | false | 2 |
Nairobi: South Sudan’s foreign ministry said it has recalled a US-based diplomat after “an alleged rape incident” in New York City, suspending the official until an ongoing investigation is completed.
“It is with regret that our diplomat was involved in an alleged rape incident with... (a) New York City resident,” the ministry said in a statement published on the government’s official Twitter page late Thursday.
“The diplomat in question is now back in South Sudan and has been suspended from his duties, awaiting the outcome of this investigation,” the statement said.
“Sexual misconduct in any shape or form is heinous and wholly unacceptable,” it said, adding that “a specialised committee” was examining the case.
The statement did not elaborate on the allegations, but US media reports said the diplomat was accused of forcibly entering the victim’s Manhattan apartment and raping her on Sunday.
Police initially took him into custody before releasing him hours later after he invoked diplomatic immunity.
The US State Department said Wednesday that it was “aware of the incident... involving a diplomat accredited to the UN.”
“We take these allegations very seriously and are working closely with the New York Police Department and the Mayor’s Office of International Affairs,” State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said, without offering further details.
In March, the UN accused members of South Sudan’s government of committing human rights violations “amounting to war crimes” in the country’s southwest, urging investigations against dozens of individuals, including for sexual violence and abuses against children.
The world’s newest nation has suffered from chronic instability since independence in 2011, with the UN repeatedly criticising South Sudan’s leadership for its role in stoking violence, cracking down on political freedoms and plundering public coffers. | https://gulfnews.com/world/mena/south-sudan-diplomat-recalled-from-us-over-alleged-rape-1.90138796 | 2022-08-26T17:37:15Z | https://gulfnews.com/world/mena/south-sudan-diplomat-recalled-from-us-over-alleged-rape-1.90138796 | false | 5 |
The Anand district administration has initiated a probe into 1,804 marriage registrations in Tarapur taluka after it came to light that the officer incharge—Talati AN Makwana—had subverted important document checks before registering the marriages.
While District Development Officer Milind Bapna ordered Makwana’s “immediate suspension” Wednesday this week, a probe has been initiated at the level of the Taluka Development Officer (TDO).
On Friday, Bapna told The Indian Express that the administration had come across marriage registrations allegedly involving minors as well, among other irregular registrations. “We had come across complaints from one of the villages in Tarapur where the number of marriage registrations exceeded 1,000, while the population of the village is only about 1,500, for instance… As the officials delved into the allegations of irregularities, more facts came to the fore. We do not have the exact number of cases involving minors or those with incomplete or faulty documentation. But the probe is on at the TDO level. If needed, we will also seek police action in the case.”
According to the administration, among the 1,806 registrations, 365 were recorded in Saanth village, while 1,293 were in Rel village. Similarly, Valli village has 113 marriages registered, 28 in Khakhsar and five in Jinaj—all located in Tarapur taluka—that are under the scanner. “In some cases, the documentation is incomplete or subverted like checking age proof. In some cases, the mandatory 30-day notice seeking objection has been ignored or in some cases, the old marriages registered as per the 2006 law did not have the mandatory documents needed for the same. The administration is moving to file an FIR in the case, once all the details are available,” an official from the district administration said. | https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/baroda/anand-ddo-orders-probe-suspends-talati-over-dubious-marriage-registrations-8114148/ | 2022-08-26T17:37:33Z | https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/baroda/anand-ddo-orders-probe-suspends-talati-over-dubious-marriage-registrations-8114148/ | true | 1 |
Shaquille O’Neal still isn’t convinced the Earth is round — especially since his plane recently “flew straight” instead of diagonal.
via: AceShowbiz
“It’s a theory, It’s just a theory, they teach us a lot of things,” he told Australian radio programme “The Kyle and Jackie O Show” when asked if he stands by his previous comments. “I flew 20 hours today, not once did I go this way [diagonally]. I flew straight. I didn’t tip over or go upside down [during the journey].”
Host Kyle Sandiland then asked how someone could fly to the other side of the world in different directions. His guest replied, “It’s still a straight line, you don’t go under.”
The 50-year-old retired sportsman also admitted he’s not convinced that the Earth actually spins round. He said, “You know they say the world is spinning? I’ve been living on a house on a lake for 30 years, not once did the lake rotate to the left or right.”
Shaquille likes listening to different theories but isn’t bothered about what is true. He said, “It’s not about figuring them out, or he’s wrong or he’s right – it’s just a theory.”
The former Miami Heat player first shared his belief that Earth is flat in 2017. He said at the time, “It’s true. The Earth is flat. Listen, there are three ways to manipulate the mind – what you read, what you see and what you hear.”
“In school, the first thing they teach us is, ‘Oh, Columbus discovered America,’ but when he got there, there were some fair-skinned people with long hair smoking on the peace pipes. So, what does that tell you? Columbus didn’t discover America.”
“I’m just saying. I drive from Florida to California all the time, and it’s flat to me. I do not go up and down at a 360-degree angle and all that stuff about gravity. Have you looked outside Atlanta lately and seen all these buildings? You mean to tell me that China is under us? China is under us? It’s not. The world is flat.”
However, he later played down his comments. He said, “The Earth is flat. Would you like to hear my theory? The first part of the theory is, I’m joking, you idiots.”
“So know that when Shaquille O’Neal says something, 80 percent of the time I’m being humorous, and it is a joke. And 20 percent of the time, I’m being serious. But when I’m being serious, you’ll know.”

WEIHAI, China, Aug. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from CRI Online:
Recently, the Watching New Development in Lingang, 2022 China Mainstream Media Tour took place in Lingang District, Weihai City, Shandong Province. Nearly 30 journalists joined the event and toured Lingang District where they discovered the area's many achievements and felt its vitality as a result of the completion of several real estate projects, the addition of new cultural and leisure venues and the roll out of policies to support further opening up to the outside world.
During the tour, the group visited Weihai Modern Agricultural Industry College (Hengxing), Weihai Gaosai Huayun Automobile Refitting, Weihai Taiji Intelligent Technology, SF Intelligent Sorting and Distribution Center, Sino-Japanese (Weihai) Cooperation Industrial Park and other companies where they interviewed several of the executives and employees working there. The combination of articles, photos and video shots put together by the journalists and made available online tell Lingang's story: the district has developed into one which is a perfect blend of high-end industries and a beautifully constructed city noted for its own unique charm.
Three industry clusters now call Lingang home: new materials, high-end equipment manufacturing and pharmaceuticals/medical devices. The presence of the clusters has accelerated the creation of a modern industrial ecosystem with local characteristics.
By embracing policies that support opening up, the district's government focused on bringing in quality investment and speeding up the construction of a strong industrial development platform. In 2018, the district received the approval to build the Sino-Europe (Weihai) SME Cooperation Zone. In 2021, the district took the lead in building the Sino-Japanese (Weihai) Cooperation Industrial Park, a move that quickly led to collaborations with foreign companies to build production capacity for both domestic and international markets and to create industry clusters supported by foreign investment.
In terms of scientific and technological innovation, Lingang District is home to more than 50 national- and provincial-level innovation platforms. For 2022, the district has set as a goal the raising of 8.7 million yuan (approx. US$1.5 million) to support development in the new materials, electronic information and biomedicine sectors and the bringing in of 46 million yuan (approx. US6.7 million) in R&D investment from the private sector. | https://www.asiaone.com/business/recent-media-tour-reveals-success-story-weihais-lingang | 2022-08-26T17:38:17Z | https://www.asiaone.com/business/recent-media-tour-reveals-success-story-weihais-lingang | false | 12 |
Affordable school supplies and other budget picks
The school year is coming back around, and there’s no better time to start checking items off of your school supply list than right now. Finding affordable school supplies can be somewhat of a chore, but with an understanding of what supplies you need, you can probably find all your needs at a fair price.
From pens and pencils to planners, notebooks and more, being prepared for the back-to-school season doesn’t have to be stressful or break the bank.
Picking your school supply essentials
Student age and grade
Perhaps the main factors for your school supply list are the student’s age, grade and classes. For example, glue is an excellent option for elementary and middle school students who are likely to perform arts and crafts. Older students could benefit from tools with more versatility, such as laptops, tablets or other smart devices. Additionally, a student taking specific classes, such as art or dance, may require more specific materials than what you’ll find on a school supplies list.
School supply options for keeping to your budget
Most school supply lists include several different items, all of which students are expected to have. These costs can add up quickly, though there are a few ways to keep to your budget. If you know the student will use certain disposable items, such as crayons, pens, pencils or erasers, for more than just one school year, you can buy them in bulk to save year after year. Otherwise, consider looking for deals on the student’s essentials.
Choosing your student’s essentials
What constitutes “back-to-school essentials” can vary from student to student, and if they’re too old for elementary school supply lists, then it may be up to you to choose. A few agreed-upon essentials are backpacks, pens and pencils, notebooks and binders. However, this can depend on your student’s classes and may include things ranging from cameras to musical instruments and more.

How many times has Bronco’s Russell Wilson been to the Super Bowl?
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Russell Wilson, husband to megastar Ciara, is the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos and one of the most competitive players currently in the NFL. He has a career passer rate that exceeds 100 and holds the records for the most wins by an NFL quarterback for nine consecutive seasons. He played for the Seattle Seahawks from 2012 until March 2022, when he was traded to the Broncos.
So far, the 33-year-old has earned 292 passing touchdowns throughout his career and is the third quarterback in the league’s history to throw for thirty touchdowns in four straight seasons. Wilson is widely considered one of the greatest running quarterbacks in the NFL.
In his last 14 games for the Seahawks, Wilson completed 64.8% of his passes for 3,113 yards with 25 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Why did Russell Wilson have surgery on his hand?
Wilson was sidelined for several weeks during his last season with Seattle in order to undergo surgery on his right middle finger, according to the Associated Press. His doctor, Steven Shin, told media outlets in October 2021 that the quarterback had ruptured a tendon in his finger and dislocated at join at the top of the middle finger.
END OF AN ERA IN SEATTLE WITH RUSSELL WILSON, BOBBY WAGNER GONE — BUT IS A SURPRISE ON THE WAY?
Screws were inserted to further stabilize the finger, and Wilson went on to have a strong season after rehabilitation.
“I am fully confident Russell will return to the NFL this season and play at the same world-class level that fans have come to expect of one of the game’s very best quarterbacks,” Shin said at the time.
How many Super Bowls has Russell Wilson been in?
Wilson led the Seahawks to two consecutive Super Bowl appearances in 2013 and 2014. In 2013, they dominated the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII with a score of 43-8. During the game, Wilson had no interceptions and threw 206 with two touchdowns.

In 2014 the Seahawks became the first team since the Patriots in 2004 to return to the Super Bowl as defending champions. Seattle played against the New England Patriots led by Tom Brady. Wilson and his team led the Patriots by 28-14 going into the fourth quarter; however, the Patriots were able to score two consecutive touchdowns with only two minutes remaining to clinch victory for a final score of 28-24.
How much is Russell Wilson paid?
Before he moved to the Broncos, Wilson had a contract with the Seahawks that was signed in 2019 that paid him $140 million over the course of four years with a signing bonus of $65 million with a total guarantee of $107 million. At the time Wilson signed the deal, it made him the highest-paid player in the NFL and was the highest signing bonus in the league’s history. | https://1010wcsi.com/fox-sports/how-many-times-has-broncos-russell-wilson-been-to-the-super-bowl/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-many-times-has-broncos-russell-wilson-been-to-the-super-bowl | 2022-08-26T17:41:57Z | https://1010wcsi.com/fox-sports/how-many-times-has-broncos-russell-wilson-been-to-the-super-bowl/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-many-times-has-broncos-russell-wilson-been-to-the-super-bowl | false | 2 |
Clash at the Castle now at over 66,000 tickets out
The Clash at the Castle premium live event in Cardiff, Wales, has inched closer to a sell out as the company has nearly 66,000 tickets out with one week to go.
The Principality Stadium is configured to seat just over 72,000 fans so there’s around 6,000 tickets still available for sale on Ticketmaster. It’s worth to note that many of the ticket prices were slashed in half in a bid to sell the remaining inventory.
Come Saturday afternoon, this Clash event will have more fans than each night of WrestleMania this year even though WWE announced over 70,000 each night for WrestleMania, but in reality, that number was inflated as usual.
When tickets came out a few months ago, fans were surprised at how much expensive even bleachers were, with WWE charging WrestleMania-like prices. Cardiff hotels also increased their prices during the weekend which led to many fans seeking accommodation outside the city.
WWE has also sold out the 8PM Undertaker 1deadMAN Show event on September 2, with around 1,000 tickets sold. Due to popular demand, a second show starting at 1:30PM was also added. The second show is not close to a sell out and plenty of tickets remain. | https://www.gerweck.net/2022/08/26/clash-at-the-castle-now-at-over-66000-tickets-out/ | 2022-08-26T17:43:20Z | https://www.gerweck.net/2022/08/26/clash-at-the-castle-now-at-over-66000-tickets-out/ | false | 1 |
If Complaint Is Successful, Judge Who Approved Warrant for FBI Trump Raid Will Be Removed
Tea Party Patriots Action, a nonprofit conservative group, filed a federal complaint seeking to remove the Florida judge who had approved the FBI warrant used to raid the private Florida residence of former President Donald Trump.
Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart acted unethically in approving the suspiciously expansive search warrant due to his “history of hostility to President Trump,” according to the Aug. 16 complaint filed by Tea Party Patriots, which the group announced Wednesday.
.@JennyBethM: “Judge Reinhart acted unethically in approving the warrant to search President Trump’s residence…The entire episode…threatens the principle of ‘equal justice under law’ and the confidence of the American people in an unbiased judiciary.”https://t.co/CEHaML1YHu
— Tea Party Patriots (@TPPatriots) August 24, 2022
The group said Reinhart’s pattern of partisan bias disqualifies him as an impartial jurist, and therefore he should be removed from this case and from the bench.
The complaint pointed out that in June, Reinhart recused himself from a lawsuit Trump had filed against Hillary Clinton and other Democrats concerning the 2016 Russia collusion hoax.
Tea Party Patriots said the judge should have done the same in this instance but instead approved the unprecedented FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach.
“In June 2022, Judge Reinhart recused himself from a lawsuit involving President Trump in his suit against Hillary Clinton, citing a ‘conflict of interest,'” the complaint alleges.
“The case involves litigation by President Trump against Hillary Clinton related to the false accusations against the former President by Clinton and prominent Democrats in the Russia collusion hoax; yet, six weeks after that recusal, Judge Reinhart signed the warrant authorizing the FBI’s search of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.”
According to the complaint, Reinhart is incapable of adjudicating any matter involving Trump in a fair and impartial manner, and therefore should be disciplined and removed as a federal magistrate because of his ethical failures.
“Judge Reinhart has publicly denigrated President Donald Trump in social media posts,” the lawsuit alleges.
In 2016, the judge slammed then-President-elect Trump in a petty Facebook post, writing: “Donald Trump doesn’t have the moral stature to kiss John Lewis’s feet.”
The lawsuit further alleges that Reinhart “is a Democrat who has given financial contributions to former Democratic President Barack Obama, and to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush when he was a candidate running against Donald Trump for President in 2015.”
He also has a history of ethical issues, “the most noteworthy being his resignation from the US Attorney’s office in Miami on January 1, 2008, and the very next day representing as counsel for employees of the late Jeffrey Epstein, who was under investigation by that same prosecutor’s office at the time of Reinhart’s employment and departure,” the complaint alleged.
The lawsuit continued: “An ethics complaint/lawsuit was filed against Judge Reinhart for his unethical conduct. Former colleagues at the US Attorney’s office stated their belief that Judge Reinhart was privy to confidential information regarding the prosecution’s case against Epstein.”
Tea Party Patriots argued that Reinhart “should be disciplined and removed as a federal magistrate because of his failure to meet the standards of ethical conduct and character necessary for the public to have confidence in the nonpartisan role of a judge in a matter of this extreme public interest.”
The group said it is necessary to excise biased, activist judges such as Reinhart because allowing a federal magistrate “who has been outspoken in his opposition to and loathing of President Trump threatens the principle of ‘equal justice under law’ and the confidence of the American people in an unbiased judiciary.”
TPPA Complaint by The Western Journal
Meanwhile, two constitutional attorneys who worked in the administrations of former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush said the FBI search warrant was invalid.
In their Monday Wall Street Journal commentary, David Rivkin Jr. and Lee Casey said the bureau “had no legally valid cause for the raid” because a former president’s rights under the Presidential Records Act supersede all of the laws the agency had cited in its warrant.
“The PRA explicitly guarantees a former president continuing access to his papers,” Rivkin and Casey wrote. “His possession of them is entirely consistent with that right, and therefore lawful, regardless of the statutes the FBI cites in its warrant.”
Was the FBI justified in searching Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago? The warrant itself suggests the answer is likely no, write @DavidRivkin and Lee A. Caseyhttps://t.co/ChBdKQFzaZ
— Wall Street Journal Opinion (@WSJopinion) August 23, 2022
In other words, the Presidential Records Act covers whatever documents Trump had at his Mar-a-Lago residence, so the warrant Reinhart approved for the FBI raid was invalid.
“Nothing in the PRA suggests that the former president’s physical custody of his records can be considered unlawful under the statutes on which the Mar-a-Lago warrant is based,” Rivkin and Casey wrote.
“Thus, if the Justice Department’s sole complaint is that Mr. Trump had in his possession presidential records he took with him from the White House, he should be in the clear, even if some of those records are classified.”

Monkeypox vaccine supply now sufficient, Biden officials say
(AP) - The Biden administration says it has shipped enough monkeypox vaccine to deliver the first of two doses to all of the 1.6 million people identified to be at highest risk of infection from the virus.
Now public health officials need to ensure the vaccines are given to those who need them most.
Senior Biden administration officials outlined the state of the vaccination campaign Friday to the Associated Press in advance of a public briefing by White House and health officials. The administration expects to have enough for second doses available by the end of next month, the officials said.
The Biden administration has come under criticism over the course of the months-long response to the epidemic for the slow pace of vaccine availability. Now, the administration says the challenge is to ensure all of those deemed at highest risk get vaccinated.
Public health officials have identified men who have sex with other men to be at the highest risk of contracting the virus and encouraged them to get vaccinated.
The U.S. has the most monkeypox infections of any country during the current outbreak — more than 16,000. About 98% of U.S. cases are men and about 93% were men who reported recent sexual contact with other men. No one in the U.S. has died, but deaths have been reported in other countries.
Earlier this month health officials authorized a plan to allow injection of smaller doses of the vaccine into the skin instead of into muscle, which has helped stretch supplies. With the help of that new method, which requires about one-fifth the usual dose, the administration says it has now shipped enough vaccine for at least 1.6 million doses.
The administration also has 300,000 vials ready to ship as needed — enough for 1.5 million doses. Another 150,000 vials are expected to be delivered by the manufacturer by the end of September, with more to follow in subsequent months.
According to the administration, only 14 jurisdictions of 67 have used enough vaccine to request more from the federal stockpile.

Nonika Singh
He stammers and fights. When people ridicule him for his impaired speech he fights more and mouths a mouthful of gaalis. If that is not enough to make you wince, there is more that will make you throw up your hands in despair.
Vijay Deverakonda as and in Liger, a crossbreed of a tiger and lion so we are told, had whetted our appetite for yet another masala outing. For one after another South sensation is conquering the pan-Indian territory and hearts across India with pure entertainers. Alas, this Dharma Production, which projects Deverakonda as an underdog wanting to conquer the Mixed Martial Arts mantle, falls flat on many counts.
Sure the actor can shake a leg and flex his muscles like few can. Up to a point the action sure is seeti maar. But in a two-hour- twenty
minute-paisa wasool film you expect more than maar dhaad. To be fair for the semblance of a story there is a comely heroine (Ananya Panday), a fierce mother (Ramya Krishnan) and a well-meaning MMA master (Ronit Roy). But if Ananya’s act as she plays a ‘with it’ millennial blogger is over the top, Ramya as a tiger mom seems to be in perpetual Baahubali mode, flashing her eyes spewing venom with and without provocation. Till the interval at least, the film generates few laughs and with its breathless speed doesn’t leave you time to think how senseless all this madness is.
But if you are looking for a method in the madness, take a break. The storyline which takes us from Mumbai to Las Vegas flies in whichever direction the director writer thought it convenient at whichever point he couldn’t think straight. Some scenes and plot angles are so contrived that these seem to have been written on the spur of the moment, probably on the sets itself. There are so many tropes the film employs that the word cliché itself loses meaning.
A love story, break up, millionaire father, kidnap drama and onslaught of action come together to create a concoction that is neither heady nor entertaining. As for performances, well, actors like Ronit Roy are clearly wasted. Ananya as expected of her ‘bimbette’ part overacts and creates no impact whatsoever. Ditto for Chunky Panday, who appears from nowhere as a savior, who ensures our national champion gets to represent India at international arena. The one ray of sunshine is former boxer Mike Tyson whose presence in the movie had generated much buzz prior to the release of the film. Fashioned as a fictional character, his part might be as logic-less as the rest of the film, yet he gets to mouth a few lines with a fair degree of élan. But clearly even his chutzpah can’t save the film which tries to be an actioner, a love story, a tale of the underdog all at once and ends up being nothing.
By the time it ends, it doesn’t even care whether our hero wins the championship or not. So, the anti-climax should come as no surprise. And just an afterthought; is Dharma’s idea of a pan-India film making a Telugu superstar groove to a Punjabi song Coka.
Jokes apart, Deverakonda did deserve a better Hindi film and so do audiences. The only thing that works here is the chartbuster Aafat. But to enjoy the number you needn’t bear with this aafat. For the movie seems to be taking the lyrics of Sab ki waat laga denge far more seriously. | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/entertainment/the-roar-turns-to-a-purr-425637 | 2022-08-26T18:05:05Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/entertainment/the-roar-turns-to-a-purr-425637 | false | 2 |
