NEW DELHI: In its first reaction to the stabbing of Salman Rushdie, India on Thursday condemned the "horrific attack" on the celebrated novelist and wished him a speedy recovery.
Rushdie, 75, was stabbed in the neck and torso at the Chautauqua Institution in New York on August 12.
"India has always stood against violence and extremism. We condemn the horrific attack on Salman Rushdie and we wish him a speedy recovery," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said at his weekly media briefing.
The attack on Rushdie triggered global condemnation and an outpouring of support for the author. Rushdie spent years in hiding after Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a 'fatwa' in 1989 calling for his death following the publication of his novel 'The Satanic Verses'.

Following the attack, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Iranian state institutions have incited violence against Rushdie and the novelist has consistently stood up for the universal rights of freedom of expression and freedom of religion.
A 24-year-old man, Hadi Matar, was identified as the alleged attacker. Following the attack, Iran denied any link with the attacker. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/aug/25/india-condemns-attack-on-salman-rushdie-2491336.html | 2022-08-27T02:54:41Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/aug/25/india-condemns-attack-on-salman-rushdie-2491336.html | true | 12 |
The Kiwis squad for the upcoming Rugby League World Cup in England will be missing a key contributor, with a Warriors star having made himself unavailable for the showpiece event in October. Michael Burgess reports.
Warriors captain Tohu Harris won't be part of the Kiwis squad at the upcoming Rugby League World Cup in England.
Harris has been one of the form forwards in the NRL in recent years, but hasn't turned out in the black and white V since 2016, when he played the last of his 16 tests.
This season, since returning from an ACL injury in May, the 30-year-old has been a consistent performer in a struggling Warriors team and would have been a strong contender for Michael Maguire's squad, given his experience and ability to cover prop, second row and lock.
But Harris has informed the New Zealand Rugby League that he won't be available.
"He doesn't feel he is in a position to be able to go over and be at his best." Maguire told the Herald on Sunday. "There is some personal stuff and he is keen to get home and be with the family."
Like Roger-Tuivasa-Sheck in previous seasons, Harris has been at the coalface of a brutal Warriors campaign in 2022, trying to lift his teammates, maintain high standards and deal with the media spotlight; all while being away from his New Zealand-based family.
"He very much wanted to be part of it, it's just the circumstances and the timing with where we are at," said Maguire. "Full credit to him, obviously thinking of the team first in his situation."

Advertise with NZME.Fellow Warrior Shaun Johnson was left out of the squad for the June test against Tonga and has had a mixed club season.
While it's hard to imagine the Kiwis going to a major tournament without the 32-test veteran, the halves picture is still unclear.
Incumbents Jahrome Hughes and Dylan Brown are top of the list, with Johnson, Kieran Foran and Te Maire Martin the options for the back-up spots.
"As a group we are looking at form, picking on form," said Maguire. "Shauny is definitely in the mix. We have to consider everything they [the Warriors] have gone through and balancing that out too. They are all in contention."
Foran has had his own struggles in a misfiring Manly team while Martin has only just returned from injury for Brisbane, which may help Johnson's cause, though the 31-year-old picked up a calf injury in Friday's loss to Penrith.
The Kiwis initial 24-man squad will be submitted on 24th September, ahead of the final declarations on October 4th, a few days after the NRL grand final.
Maguire, who will probably opt for a 12-12 split between backs and forwards, has strong options in most positions, apart from centre.
Joseph Manu will be used at fullback, after his superb performance against Tonga in June, which means Eels second rower Marata Niukore is likely to employed in the backline.

Advertise with NZME.Peta Hiku has had an impressive season with the Cowboys while Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad did well for the Kiwis as a makeshift centre in 2019.
"We probably don't have the most depth there. It's a good challenge for us," said Maguire.
Maguire spent three days in Auckland last week, meeting with the NZRL board and Kiwis management to finalise tournament preparations.
"We have been planning this for a long time," said Maguire. "With the connection that we have built over the last few years, we are pleased with the space that we have been able to get the players in and the hunger that the players themselves have in the Kiwis being successful. They have got a strong relationship, which is one of the strengths of the Kiwis."
Maguire was sacked as Wests Tigers coach in June. It was a difficult exit at the time but there has been a silver lining, as the 48-year-old has been fixated solely on his international job.
"It has been great, being able to concentrate on that," said Maguire. "Do I miss the club land? Of course I do. But it has given me opportunities to just focus on the Kiwis.
"You only get one opportunity to get things right when you go to a World Cup so it's great to have that time. It's not often as a player or a coach that you get a chance to go and be a world champion." | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/rugby-league-new-zealand-warriors-star-opts-out-of-kiwis-world-cup-campaign/LBHAEOKOB34VFF5XKUGVNVFP34/ | 2022-08-27T03:07:01Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/rugby-league-new-zealand-warriors-star-opts-out-of-kiwis-world-cup-campaign/LBHAEOKOB34VFF5XKUGVNVFP34/ | true | 2 |

The investigation describes the woman as a “confident 30-something cosmopolitan who spoke six languages” who was able to enter the circles of Naples dignitaries and staff of the NATO base and the US Sixth Fleet.
The Russian passport with which he was able to enter Italy, according to the investigation, “belonged to the same series used by GRU spies (Glavnoye Razvedyvatel’noye Upravleniye, or the Russian Military Secret Service).
The woman’s name was María Adela Kuhfeldt Rivera, born in Peru and of a German father, but later in the investigation she was identified as Olga Kolobova, a Russian agent and the daughter of a colonel in that country.
During her stay in Italy, Olga Kolobova used three Russian passports, all with numbers matching those of Moscow agents, reported to “La Repubblica”, and Rivera built her public profile as a successful jeweler with the social elite of Naples.
Rivera was lost in September 2018 when the Dutch investigative journalism website “Bellinggate” and the Russian independent newspaper “The Insider” published the names of Russian spies who tried to poison ex-agent Sergei Skripal and Bulgarian arms manufacturer Emilion Gebrev.
It was not possible to determine what information the spy obtained, but according to the investigation, it is known that “prominent personnel from NATO and the US Navy were in contact.” | https://weldbham.com/she-pretended-to-be-an-italian-jeweler-and-fooled-everyone-the-story-of-a-russian-spy-who-infiltrated-a-nato-base-in-naples-for-years-news/ | 2022-08-27T03:10:53Z | https://weldbham.com/she-pretended-to-be-an-italian-jeweler-and-fooled-everyone-the-story-of-a-russian-spy-who-infiltrated-a-nato-base-in-naples-for-years-news/ | true | 1 |
The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Yapei-Kusawgu Constituency and former
Deputy Minister of Energy in the erstwhile Mahama administration, Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor has said when he was appointed the Deputy Minister of Energy and Petroleum, the Yapei-Kusawgu Constituency had only 4 towns connected to the national grid (i.e. Buipe, Yapei, Sankpala and Kusawgu) and “by dint of hardwork, the constituency currently has about 100 communities connected to the national grid as part of an aggressive national electrification programme under the NDC Government”.
In a write-up on 26th August, 2022, the MP explained that during the recent visit of President Akuffo-Addo to the Savannah Region, the Chiefs of the Yapei-Kusawgu Constituency sought to enquire from the President when he will fulfil his campaign promises of creating a new district out of the Central Gonja District and the establishment of a new Senior High school in the Kusawgu area.
According to Hon, John Abdulai Jinapor, in response, President Akuffo-Addo rather chose to throw wild and flippant allegations against him, Hon John Jinapor, for what he described as his inability to connect some 17 communities to the national electricity grid.
He said, as if that was not enough, President Nana Akufo-Addo proceeded to accuse him of not helping to establish the Senior High school that he, President Akuffo-Addo promised
Hon John Abdulai Jinapor said, the critical question President Nana Akufo-Addo should answer is what he has done so far to complement the 17 towns yet to be connected to the national grid he inherited from the previous NDC administration.
He added that, most importantly, at national level, the NDC Government expanded access to electricity from 50% to 83.24%. which can be confirmed in Paragraph 463 of the 2017 budget as presented by Mr. Ken Ofori-Attah, the Finance Minister: he said “ Under rural electrification, 1,212 communities were connected to the national grid increasing the national electricity access rate from 80.5 percent to 83.24 percent”.
He bemoaned the rhetorics of President Akuffo-Addo since assuming office and despite receiving over 20 billion Cedis in ESLA Revenues, has only increased the access rate by a paltry 3%—thus from 83.24% to 86.63% as captured under Paragraph 810 of the 2022 budget: he indicated; “In pursuit of H.E. The President’s aspiration to achieve universal coverage of electricity by 2024, a total of 162 communities were connected to the national grid thereby increasing the national electricity access rate from 85.17 percent in 2020 to 86.63 percent in 2021″.
On the education front, Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor said, President Mahama can be credited for 3 senior high schools (Buipe Senior High, Buipe Technical and Mpaha Senior High) in the Yapei-Kusawgu Constituency.
According to Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor, it is an undeniable fact that the NDC government under the leadership of President Mahama, the Yapei-Kusawgu witnesses the commencement and commissioning of the Buipe Cement Factory and the Sheanut Processing factory not to mention the ultramodern Buipe District Hospital but unfortunately under President Akuffo-Addo, the Sheanut factory has been grossly mismanaged and run-down for sometime now. No wonder President Nana Akufo-Addo conveniently refused to visit Buipe, the district capital of the Central Gonja District.
Hon John Abdulai Jinapor said, for a President who failed to provide portable drinking water for his own people as Minister and MP, until President Mahama provided portable water for the people of Kyebi, the least President Akuffo-Addo can do is to acknowledge the good works of his predecessor.
He entreated President Akuffo-Addo to crosscheck his facts in future before seeking to deceive the citizenry with concocted, unsubstantiated and fabricated allegations.
Hon. John Abu Jinapor said, Ghanaians are indeed suffering under the abysmal performance of the Nana/Bawumia government and the least they can expect from this non-performing government is to be truthful and honest with the facts.

Friday is National Day Dog, and if you’ve noticed that you seem to feel calmer and happier around your four-legged friend, you’re not alone.
A recent study found that people who spent time with a therapy dog while in the emergency room reported experiencing less pain after.
The results come as no surprise to Dr. Jane Manno, a psychologist for Cleveland Clinic.
“Just physically, being around animals releases some positive neurotransmitters in the brain,” said Manno. “Studies have shown serotonin and dopamine, so there’s a biological component. It decreases blood pressure, it decreases the stress hormone cortisol.”
Manno said beyond just the physical, humans also seem to have a strong emotional connection with their dogs. Many times a dog can sense their owner’s mood, especially if they’re feeling anxious or depressed.

She said in some cases, she will recommend a patient get a dog if they are experiencing those kinds of mental health issues. That’s because dogs can help them get out of the house more, feel a sense of purpose and they can also aid in feelings of loneliness.
Not to mention, dogs love unconditionally, so they won’t judge.
Manno said if you’re unable to have a dog of your own, you could always consider volunteering at a shelter instead.
“It does make you feel good. It’s a commitment. You’re doing something for the greater good, you’re also meeting people and being with animals as well. So yes, there are a lot of benefits, and it gets you out of the house, particularly if someone is isolating all the time,” she said.
Manno said while dogs are great for some people, it’s important to make sure you have the time and resources to take care of them.
She also discourages getting an animal if you live in an unstable household. | https://www.news4jax.com/health/2022/08/26/proof-paws-itive-that-dogs-can-help-with-your-mental-health/ | 2022-08-27T03:22:21Z | https://www.news4jax.com/health/2022/08/26/proof-paws-itive-that-dogs-can-help-with-your-mental-health/ | true | 2 |

Family organizing Motocross event in honor of local girl’s sudden death
By Rett Nelson
Click here for updates on this story
DUBOIS (eastidahonews.com) — After the sudden death of their 10-year-old girl, Brock and Kodi Egan are hosting a benefit at the Dubois Rodeo grounds in her memory this weekend.
Kylee Egan passed away August 3 from a veinous stroke (a blood clot in the brain) after spending 20 days at Primary Children’s Hospital.
Kodi tells EastIdahoNews.com their daughter was completely healthy a month ago and the reason for this unexpected medical issue remains a mystery.
“She’d been sick the week before with a high fever, sore throat (and other cold-like symptoms), but (the doctors) don’t think the two are associated with each other,” Kodi says.
It all began on July 5. Kodi says Kylee woke up with a mild headache. By the end of the day, she had a high fever and “felt terrible.”
Her symptoms subsided at the end of the week and Kylee was back to her normal self.
Then on July 14, the headaches returned. Kodi says they were in Dillon, Montana and Kylee got progressively worse after throwing up several times.
During a trip to the emergency room, doctors determined Kylee “had a bleed in her brain and had had a stroke.”
“They called LifeFlight and were on their way to come get her to take her to Primary Children’s,” says Kodi.
By the time Kodi and Brock arrived, a CT scan revealed that Kylee’s brain bleed had doubled in size. Pressure continued to build and doctors ended up removing the left side of her skull due to massive swelling.
“Her first full night in the ICU, they put her in a medically-induced coma. The pressure was getting too high and they were hoping that lowering her brain activity would help,” Kodi recalls.
A week later, Kodi says she started having seizures. Doctors kept Kylee heavily sedated for the next five days, which didn’t help the swelling go down like they’d hoped.
On July 26, Kylee was not showing any signs of voluntary movement during a reflex test, which meant Kylee was nearly brain dead.
Five days later, the Egans were faced with the hardest decision of their life.
“We made the difficult decision to take her off of life support,” Kodi says, tearing up. “She passed away at 2 a.m. on August 3.”
Kylee’s funeral was held on August 9.
With her death still fresh on their mind, the Egans, who own a farm in Dubois, were forced to quickly get back to work.
They are grateful for the outpouring of support from the community the last few weeks. Though people have rallied around them and their family, there are still moments when they struggle.
“I don’t know how I’m functioning,” Kodi explains. “You just put one foot in front of the other and take it moment by moment.”
Kodi describes her daughter as an “amazing kid” who “lived a lifetime in her 10 years” on earth.
She loved dirt biking and riding in the razor with her dad.
“She was always telling her dad to find a jump and go faster,” Kodi says.
Prior to her death, she was starting to get into basketball and softball and Kodi says she was on her way to becoming a “good little pitcher.”
“The motorodeo that Clark County 4H would put on every year was one of her favorite things. She talked about it all year long,” Kodi says.
The County wasn’t planning to hold the rodeo this year and that’s when Kodi and Brock decided to hold one in their daughter’s memory. It’s happening Saturday, August 27, at 2 p.m. Registration is from noon to 1:30 p.m.
The Egans are planning to use all the proceeds to help several families they met at Primary Children’s Hospital.
“Our whole family has been extremely blessed by this little community,” Kodi says through tears. “All of our kids go to school at West Jefferson and this little community of Monteview, Terreton and Dubois have stepped up tremendously. We just want some way to be able to pay that forward and give back to other people who are struggling with medical bills or the horrible financial burden of paying for your child’s funeral.”

SKOPJE, North Macedonia (AP) — A car packed with 16 Syrian migrants crashed while trying to avoid a police roadblock in North Macedonia and four of its occupants were injured, authorities said Friday.
A police statement said the accident occurred on a highway near the northern border with Serbia late Thursday. A man from North Macedonia was arrested on suspicion of driving the vehicle.
The four injured migrants were hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries.
North Macedonia, a tiny Balkan country of 1.8 million, is on a major route used by migrants from the Mideast and Asia to reach wealthier European countries — often after paying large sums to smuggling gangs. Most enter illegally from Greece.
Two weeks ago, 35 people were injured when a truck carrying Syrian migrants overturned in North Macedonia.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Friday that the central government believes that this is not the right time to make digital payments chargeable.
Speaking at an event, Sitharaman said, "We see digital payment as the public good. People should be able to access it freely so that the digitisation of the Indian economy becomes attractive. Also through digitisation, we achieve a level of transparency which is so required."
"Therefore, we still think it is not the right time to make it chargeable. We are more and more pushing toward open digital transactions, digitisation and platforms which can enable great access. The RBI's recommendation is to a working paper and let the working paper where it is," the Minister added.
Sitharaman's statement came against the backdrop of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) seeking feedback from the public on the various changes proposed in the payments system, including the possibility of imposing tiered charges on transactions done through the Unified Payments Interface (UPI).
However, the Government of India last week announced that it will not levy any charges on UPI (Unified Payments Interface) services.
As announced in the Statement on Developmental and Regulatory Policies dated December 08, 2021, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released a discussion paper on "Charges in Payment Systems" for public feedback, RBI said in a statement. The discussion paper was released on August 17.
The focus of RBI's initiatives in the payment systems has been to ease frictions which may arise from systemic, procedural or revenue-related issues. While there are many intermediaries in the payments transaction chain, consumer complaints are generally about high and non-transparent charges.
Charges for payment services should be reasonable and competitively determined for users while also providing an optimal revenue stream for the intermediaries. To ensure this balance, it was considered useful to carry out a comprehensive review of the various charges levied in the payment systems by highlighting different dimensions and seeking stakeholder feedback.
In India, the RTGS and NEFT payment systems are owned and operated by RBI. Systems like IMPS, RuPay, UPI, etc, are owned and operated by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which is a not-for-profit entity promoted by banks. The other entities like card networks, PPI issuers, etc, are profit-maximising private entities.
Notably, the number of digital transactions in July was the highest ever since 2016. UPI reported 6.28 billion transactions amounting to Rs 10.62 trillion, according to data released by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).

NEW YORK – Novak Djokovic will not play in the U.S. Open, as expected, because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19 and thus is not allowed to travel to the United States.
Djokovic announced his withdrawal from the year’s last Grand Slam tournament on Twitter, hours before the draw for the event was revealed.
“Sadly, I will not be able to travel to NY this time for US Open,” Djokovic wrote, wishing luck to his fellow players, and said he would “keep in good shape and positive spirit and wait for an opportunity to compete again.”
Play is scheduled to begin at Flushing Meadows on Monday.
Djokovic is a 35-year-old from Serbia who owns 21 major championships, one behind Rafael Nadal for the men’s record. Three of Djokovic’s Slam trophies came at the U.S. Open, in 2011, 2015 and 2018.
He also was the runner-up there a half-dozen times, including last season, when his pursuit of the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men’s tennis since 1969 ended with a loss in the final to Daniil Medvedev.
Foreign citizens who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 are currently unable to enter the U.S or Canada, and Djokovic has said he won’t get the shots, even if that prevents him from playing in certain tournaments.
The U.S. Tennis Association has said all along it will follow government rules about vaccination status for this year’s Open. There is no vaccine mandate at the tournament for players or their support teams – meaning that an unvaccinated American would be allowed to compete – and spectators will not be required to wear masks.
“Novak is a great champion and it is very unfortunate that he will be unable to compete at the 2022 U.S. Open, as he is unable to enter the country due to the federal government’s vaccination policy for non-U.S. citizens,” said Stacey Allaster, the U.S. Open tournament director. “We look forward to welcoming Novak back at the 2023 U.S. Open.”
Djokovic missed the Australian Open in January after a protracted legal saga ended with his deportation from that country because he isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19. He also sat out four significant tournaments in North America in 2022, including in Montreal and Cincinnati recently.
He did play in the French Open, where he lost in the quarterfinals to Nadal, and at Wimbledon, where Djokovic won the title.
After beating Nick Kyrgios in the Wimbledon final on July 10, Djokovic said he “would love” to participate in the last Grand Slam tournament of the year at Flushing Meadows, but he also acknowledged, “I’m not planning to get vaccinated.”
About three weeks later, Djokovic posted on social media that he was holding out hope of getting the chance to play in the U.S. Open, writing: “I am preparing as if I will be allowed to compete, while I await to hear if there is any room for me to travel to US. Fingers crossed!”
Djokovic has spent more weeks at No. 1 than anyone else in the history of the ATP rankings. He is No. 6 this week, in part because no rankings points were awarded at Wimbledon this year.
Among the other players who will not be at the U.S. Open for various reasons are No. 2-ranked Alexander Zverev, the 2020 runner-up in New York; 2016 champion Angelique Kerber; 2019 French Open finalist Marketa Vondrousova; Gael Monfils and Reilly Opelka. | https://sports.nbcsports.com/2022/08/25/unvaccinated-novak-djokovic-out-of-us-open-cant-travel-to-states/ | 2022-08-27T03:49:51Z | https://sports.nbcsports.com/2022/08/25/unvaccinated-novak-djokovic-out-of-us-open-cant-travel-to-states/ | true | 42 |
MANILA, Philippines >> Philippine coast guard personnel and volunteers have rescued more than 80 passengers and crew of an inter-island ferry that caught fire as it approached a port south of Manila, prompting many to jump into the water as flames spread fast in windy weather, officials said Saturday.
Only two passengers are unaccounted for and authorities are checking if the two are missing or had been rescued but immediately went home without notifying officials who led the search efforts Friday, the coast guard said. The M/V Asia Philippines was listed as carrying 49 passengers and 38 crewmembers.
The ferry, which came from Calapan city in Oriental Mindoro province, was more than a kilometer (about a mile) away from the Batangas port, when smoke emerged from the second deck followed by flames, according to one of the rescued passengers.
The ferry’s proximity to the port allowed the rapid rescue of the victims even after nightfall by coast guard vessels and nearby ships, motor bancas and tugboats. One ship helped the coast guard extinguish the fire, which gutted the ferry that also carried at least 16 cars and trucks, coast guard officials said.
Passenger Benedict Fernandez told DZMM radio Friday night that smoke and flames suddenly rose from the second deck as crew members were apparently trying to turn an engine on and off as the ferry approached the port. There was no immediate order to abandon ship, but when it became hard to see because of the smoke, he said he decided to jump into the water with his two children from the third deck, along with other passengers.
“I pushed my children off because if we didn’t jump from the top, we would really get burned because the soles of our feet were already feeling the heat,” Fernandez said.
They were rescued from the water by another boat that approached the burning ship and then transferred to a tugboat, which brought them to port, he said.
Pictures released by the coast guard showed its personnel trying to revive a rescued passenger, a 43-year-old woman, at the port before she was taken to a hospital with injuries. Fernandez said he and his two children, who were shaken by the experience, and other passengers were taken to a hotel by officials of the company that owned the ferry.
The ferry, which has been towed to an anchorage area, can carry about 400 passengers, the coast guard said, adding an investigation was underway. In the past, there have been instances when ferries carried unlisted passengers in defiance of regulations.
Sea accidents are common in the Philippine archipelago because of frequent storms, badly maintained boats, overcrowding and spotty enforcement of safety regulations, especially in remote provinces.
In December 1987, the ferry Dona Paz sank after colliding with a fuel tanker, killing more than 4,300 people in the world’s worst peacetime maritime disaster. | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/08/26/breaking-news/more-than-80-people-rescued-from-philippine-ferry-fire/ | 2022-08-27T03:50:40Z | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/08/26/breaking-news/more-than-80-people-rescued-from-philippine-ferry-fire/ | false | 22 |

High-rises along the transports corridors are a key feature of the third master plan
Imagine being able to reach parks, hospitals, schools, colleges, shops, offices and public transport all within 15 minutes from wherever you live in Chennai. That’s what the city’s planners envisage by 2046. The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority’s third master plan, which is on the drawing board, will tweak rules to facilitate high-rises along transport corridors, including Metro and MRTS lines and the Outer Ring Road, to house offices and homes.
It also envisages investment in blue-green infrastructure. This involves improving the city’s canals and water bodies and greenery and using design to connect people with nature. The focus areas of the third master plan include several localities in the 40 sqkm core city area including MadhavaramKolathur, Anna Salai, OMR and the metro rail corridors. Hitesh Kumar Makwana, principal secretary, housing and urban development, told TOI that the idea is to provide residents a sustainable city with a high index of livability and accessibility, taking care of all sections of society. “For this, a lot of infrastructure will be set up and rules would be tweaked to facilitate them. An efficient public transportation system would facilitate balanced urban growth,” he said.
Planners in CMDA have conducted a SWOT analysis to fix gaps in the second master plan, primarily implementation. In the second master plan, 41 roads were meant to be widened to facilitate development and better mobility. Not even a single road project was implemented completely. The Outer Ring Road development project has just begun. The plan didn’t take into account the extended areas that led to haphazard, horizontal development. Makwana stated that along with the city, regional plans for Kancheepuram, Minjur, Chengalpet, Thirumazhisai and Thiruvallur will also be prepared for better urban mobility. Anshul Mishra, member secretary, CMDA said the idea is to provide equitable access to all facilities in the city. “It shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes for a person to access any of these basic facilities and amenities and utilities,” he said.
Activists and urban experts, however, stated that planners need to ensure the idea doesn’t remain a pipe-dream like the second masterplan. Professor, K P Subramanian from department of planning, Anna University, said the first and the second master plans followed the conventional path and focused on rigid landuse planning. “The third plan may give greater emphasis on planning basic infrastructure such as water transport network, basic amenities and social facilities,” he said. Professor S Janakarajan from Madras Institute of Development Studies said that before stepping into the third master plan they should make a survey of ecological hotspots that need to be preserved. “Mistakes from the second master plan should be studied and not repeated.”

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Washington and Beijing have reached an agreement allowing U.S. auditors to inspect China-based accountants, the first step in a process that could prevent around 200 Chinese companies being kicked off American stock exchanges.
SAMUEL SIEW, MARKET SPECIALIST, CGS-CIMB, SINGAPORE
"This is seen as a positive first step. However, things are not fully cast in stone yet, as seen from the various sudden reversals in the past."
KENNY NG, SECURITIES STRATEGIST, CHINA EVERBRIGHT SECURITIES, HONG KONG
"I think if the agreement is finally to be reached, the market sentiment will keep improving, which will support the Hong Kong stock market, especially the technology sector.
"For the short term, the HSI will keep the upward momentum and may challenge the 21,000 level next week. For the midterm, the recovery progress of the Chinese economy will be the core factor for the stock market."
PAUL LEDER, MILLER & CHEVALIER, WASHINGTON DC, FORMER DIRECTOR OF THE SEC'S OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
"Clearly the Chinese authorities felt the pressure of possible delistings under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. By explicitly tying the ability to maintain a U.S. listing to the PCAOB’s ability to conduct inspections of a company’s auditors, Congress imposed a cost on China for its long-standing refusal to permit the PCAOB to conduct inspections of U.S.-registered accounting firms located in mainland China and later Hong Kong.
"The real issue is whether the Chinese authorities will now honor the deal and provide the PCAOB unfettered access to the auditors’ work papers. For more than a decade the answer has been ‘No,’ but now that the threat of delisting is real it looks likes the answer from the Chinese authorities may be different.”
WINSTON MA, ADJUNCT PROFESSOR, NYU LAW SCHOOL
"This is a compliance issue, so the implementation of this framework in the coming months will be the key to the success of this complex cross-border setup."
MARCIA ELLIS, LAWYER AT MORRISON & FOERSTER, HONG KONG
"We expect that Chinese headquartered companies with sensitive data that have not yet listed will favor listings in Hong Kong even if the PCAOB issue is resolved."
"In addition, listing in Hong Kong also insulates companies from what may continue to be a contentious relationship between the U.S. and China in the next few years even if the PCAOB issue is resolved."
THOMAS HAYES, MANAGING MEMBER, GREAT HILL CAPITAL, NEW YORK
"A long time coming! This has been a huge overhang on Chinese ADRs - causing some of the higher quality businesses like Alibaba to be mis-priced for some time. As the deal moves forward and the fog is lifted, many of these stocks will have significant appreciation. Not because the business changed (the big tech platforms have weathered the pandemic and crackdown fairly unscathed fundamentally), but because the uncertainty has been removed - inviting investors back to group."
ZHANG ZIHUA, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, BEIJING YUNYI ASSET MANAGEMENT
"This is definitely great news for U.S.-listed Chinese companies, in particular the leading tech firms, as they don't have to worry about being forced to delist from New York due to regulatory reasons. And their valuations can also be repaired."
TARIQ DENNISON, MANAGING DIRECTOR, GFM ASSET MANAGEMENT
"It could signal an economic hunger for capital, but the bigger signal I think is how many investors believe this is a clear sign that the direction is back towards "Open China", and not the "Closed China" that many Anglophone writers seem to have increasingly feared in recent years.
"My bear case on China for the past year plus has really been a dystopian scenario of China cutting itself off from the West in significant ways … this agreement would seem to put a big dent (of relief) in that bear case.
"I plan to continue allocating time and capital to China, it's just too big and too important to ignore. If this results in better quality financials, of course that would be a huge plus."

In summary
After weeks of negotiation, two major construction unions didn’t reach a compromise on bills about turning commercially zoned land into housing. Legislators congratulated each other anyway.
KEEP TABS ON THE LATEST CALIFORNIA POLICY AND POLITICS NEWS
For years, California state lawmakers have tried to reconcile warring views on what labor standards should be required of developers who’d be allowed to build housing more easily and quickly to combat the housing crisis.
Most recently that debate has splintered organized labor over two bills that both unlock commercial real estate for residential use. The Senate’s bill has the backing of the powerful state Building and Construction Trades Council, while the Assembly’s bill counts on support from affordable housing developers and the state’s Conference of Carpenters. The Legislature’s progress on housing for this session was framed as recently as last week as a battle between these two forces over the bill in the Assembly.
But following weeks of tense negotiations between the two unions over the labor provisions in the Assembly’s bill, the labor groups failed to hammer out a compromise.
So instead of choosing sides, leadership in the state Assembly and Senate simply gave their seal of approval to both bills. They opted to give developers two choices if they want to build housing where strip malls once were: Comply with stricter affordability standards or stricter labor standards.
Or, to echo an Old El Paso taco commercial, ¿Por que no los dos?
Senate Pro Tem Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, called the two-bill package “a monumental legislative agreement, and one of the most significant efforts to streamline and amplify housing production in decades.”
If passed, both bills would apply to overlapping sites — and leave the choice of which policy to use in the developer’s hands.
“What I think the package represents is leadership from both sides, the Assembly and the Senate, saying, ‘Both these bills are critical. We’re going to get both these bills off our floor. And we’re going to move this to the governor’s desk,’ ” said Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, the Democrat from Oakland who authored the Assembly bill.
What the bills do
Both bills make it easier to build housing in now-empty stores, potentially leading to more than one million housing units across the state.
Wicks’ Assembly Bill 2011 more narrowly targets infill building along heavily transited commercial corridors. Under her proposal, a developer would get to build housing “by right” — which means skipping lengthy and costly local review processes, including the much-dreaded California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA — as long as they paid workers union-level wages and offered health care benefits, among other requirements.
Senate Bill 6, by Sen. Anna Caballero, a Salinas Democrat, would knock down one key barrier to building housing in commercial sites — rezoning — but leave in place many of the other forums for local government input on housing projects. To take advantage of the rezoning benefit, developers must use a skilled and trained workforce, which effectively means a portion of the workforce must be union labor. In a noteworthy concession from the Trades, Caballero’s bill was amended Thursday to say that if developers don’t get at least two bids on a project, they can move forward with it anyway — as long as they pay union-level wages.

“This is a huge victory for residential construction workers across the state, whether they be… part of a union or not,” said Erin Lehane, legislative director for the Trades.
Asked whether the Trades would continue to oppose AB 2011, as they had previously stated, Lehane said, “Now we’re putting all of our effort into supporting SB 6.”
Besides labor standards, the main difference between the two bills is affordability. Under Wicks’ bill, at least 15% of housing units in a building built by-right would need to be deed-restricted affordable — either for purchase or rental — to low income households. Alternatively, 8% of units would need to be affordable to very low income households, and 5% would be affordable to extremely low income households. Under a third option, 100% of units would be affordable.
Caballero’s bill cut down its original 15% affordability requirement to 0 — and was renamed the Middle-Class Housing Act to reflect that. Still, Caballero said a local government can impose affordability requirements if it wants.
“Every single interest group has a different interest and bills get hacked to death sometimes in the Legislature by 1,000 cuts,” Caballero said. “The affordable housing advocates want real high affordability. Developers don’t want real high affordability because then it becomes cost-prohibitive. The unions want good labor standards…. In the end, we decided to do two bills that do two different things that will create an opportunity for everybody to get something that they like.”
Lawmakers originally hoped this year’s negotiations might put an end to the years-long debate over labor standards that has killed multiple housing bills in previous years. That didn’t happen.
“There wasn’t any real room in our bill for a meeting of the minds about whether our bill would include a standard that we thought was unreachable and functions as a barrier,” said Danny Curtin, director of the California Conference of Carpenters, which co-sponsored AB 2011.
Now, lawmakers want to leave it to the market to decide which labor standards are more feasible. The bills are expected to be voted on next week in their houses, and return to the other house for a concurrence vote by Aug. 31.
“We’re going to see pretty quickly how the different models work,” Lehane said.
more on housing
Labor unions have a week to agree on housing bills. Can they do it?
Some of the most powerful groups in the state are at an impasse regarding key housing legislation. Politicians will likely have to choose between alienating a powerful union and streamlining affordable housing development.
Could this COVID program help reduce the California housing crisis?
An emergency housing voucher program offers improvements to the decades-old federal solution to the housing affordability crisis, but landlord reluctance remains a crucial hurdle. | https://calmatters.org/housing/2022/08/california-housing-crisis-labor-deal/ | 2022-08-27T04:04:10Z | https://calmatters.org/housing/2022/08/california-housing-crisis-labor-deal/ | true | 11 |
With a trio of INTs, Drew Lock might have made Seahawks' QB decision for them

Pete Carroll has avoided naming a starting quarterback. After Drew Lock missed the Seattle Seahawks' second preseason game due to COVID-19, Carroll wanted to give Lock a shot to unseat Geno Smith.
After Friday, it's probably fair to say Lock didn't win the job before the regular season starts.
Lock threw a pair of interceptions in the first half against the Dallas Cowboys on Friday night and one more in the second half after taking over for Smith, who was solid and unspectacular as usual. Even if the first interception wasn't all on Lock, the second one was pretty bad. The third one wasn't all his fault, though it wasn't a perfect throw.
On Lock's first interception, which came on his first series, he didn't get much help from intended receiver D'Wayne Eskridge, who didn't come back for the ball. Still, it goes on Lock's stat line.
#ICYMI @IsraelMukuamu called dibs!

The second one was on Lock. He never seemed to see cornerback Nahshon Wright dropping back in a zone, and Lock's pass was right to him.
.@nahwrig read that right ✔️

He almost threw another interception on third down in the final minute of the first half, when he threw high and behind his intended receiver.
In the second half, Lock threw over the middle and it was just a little bit off to receiver Aaron Fuller. Fuller stretched out, the pass went off his pads and into the air where Cowboys defensive back Markquese Bell picked it off.
Even if Lock got a bit unlucky, you're not making a great statement to be the starter with three interceptions.
Lock did have some highlights, most notably a deep 35-yard touchdown pass to Penny Hart. Perhaps Lock shouldn't have even thrown it because the coverage was so tight, but he did and squeezed the ball into Hart for a nice score.
AND THAT'S A TOUCHDOWN! 🥳@DrewLock23 ➡️ @pennyhart2_ pic.twitter.com/HNORZJohM9
— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) August 27, 2022
Lock played deep into the fourth quarter. His final line was 13-of-24 for 171 yards, one touchdown, three interceptions and a 51.2 passer rating.
Smith has held the No. 1 job all offseason, and that likely is the best indication he'll start Week 1. Perhaps the Seahawks look at the upside of Lock, ignore the mistakes and hand him the job at the last minute. That seems unlikely. It has to be a bit disappointing after Lock was part of the return in the Russell Wilson trade with the Denver Broncos.
Smith has held the job and didn't do anything to lose it. Lock might not have done enough to win it from him. | https://sports.yahoo.com/with-a-trio-of-in-ts-drew-lock-might-have-made-seahawks-qb-decision-for-them-031011554.html?src=rss | 2022-08-27T04:04:15Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/with-a-trio-of-in-ts-drew-lock-might-have-made-seahawks-qb-decision-for-them-031011554.html?src=rss | true | 1 |
New Delhi, August 26
Air India will restore salaries that were cut in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic from September 1, according to a communication. The loss-making airline, which was taken over by Tatas in January this year, has also decided to revise crew layover allowances and meal arrangements from September 1.
In the communication to the employees, Air India CEO and Managing Director Campbell Wilson said the airline “will be restoring the salary reduction for all employees with effect from September 1, 2022”.
While the airline has much to do to return to profitability, “sunsetting most of the Covid measures is an important and welcome milestone”, he said. | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/business/air-india-to-restore-staff-salaries-to-pre-covid-level-425820 | 2022-08-27T04:05:25Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/business/air-india-to-restore-staff-salaries-to-pre-covid-level-425820 | true | null |

After an extended hiatus on the RTÉ2 comedy front, a group of Irish comedians known and loved for distributing their videos on social media will soon bring their skills to the public service broadcaster’s screens.
Michael Fry, Seán Burke, Justine Stafford, Emma Doran and Killian Sundermann will feature on No Worries if Not!, a television sketch show starting in September, marking a resumption of sorts in RTÉ's recognition and promotion of rising talent.
There hasn’t been a similar showcase on the channel since Republic of Telly ended in 2016. “That’s where our conversation started. We said we needed another Republic of Telly, in that we need a vehicle for young comedy talent,” says RTÉ director of content Jim Jennings.
Indeed, RTÉ is billing the show to advertisers as a “noisy, fast-paced” combination of Republic of Telly, The Fast Show and Netflix’s I Think You Should Leave. The series, “designed to create virals week after week”, will include “supersized versions” of some of its main contributors’ “classic bits”, alongside “a whole slew” of new sketches and characters, plus a wider cast of diverse comedic voices.
Jennings says more comedy is “in the pipeline”, with new RTÉ group head of entertainment and music Alan Tyler given a brief to bring in fresh names to RTÉ2. “It is going to take a while, but we are committed to doing more.”
Comedy is risky, he says. “You have to try a lot of things and you have to stick with it, because some of it won’t work and some of it is an acquired taste.”
As a result, comedy development on RTÉ2 was a casualty of funding pressures on the broadcaster, which has almost €100 million less to play with than it did in “the old days”, before the recession and rise of online advertising giants.
The return to a sketch show format is certainly better late than never. Pandemic lockdowns might have been light on laughs overall, but as Stafford noted at RTÉ's new season launch event on Thursday, it was a rich period for the phenomenon of the (often solo) online comedy video.
With the stars of No Worries if Not! having amassed many fans, all thanks to their own ingenuity — and several already boasting reliably hilarious recurring characters — the bigger risk to RTÉ would surely come from ignoring this talent, not from putting it on air. | https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2022/08/27/rte-brings-online-comedy-stars-to-rte2-hoping-their-fans-come-too/ | 2022-08-27T04:07:52Z | https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2022/08/27/rte-brings-online-comedy-stars-to-rte2-hoping-their-fans-come-too/ | false | 1 |
Tickets are currently on sale for the 2022 Howard Morris Oregon Tech Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
The event is scheduled for Sept. 24 at the Ross Ragland Theater in Klamath Falls at 3 p.m. (with a social hour beginning at 2 p.m.). Cost for the event is $15 and attendees are asked to dress business casual.
Legendary coach Danny Miles will be inducted alongside three former student-athletes – basketball standouts Carmen (Arroquero) Morgan and Dave Carrigan, along with baseball star Dave Hummel. Longtime radio broadcaster Bobby Thompson and the 1973-74 men's basketball team round out the 2022 Hall of Fame class.
The OIT Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 2021 and is named in honor of Morris, the architect of Hustlin' Owl sports – a longtime baseball, football and wrestling coach, athletic director and chair of the physical education department, all part of a career at Tech that spanned 30 years.
Miles joins the Hall of Fame after a record-setting 45-year career at OIT – coaching men's basketball, baseball, football and women's softball. As the leader of the Hustlin' Owl men's basketball program, the Medford native won 1,040 games, including 10 30-win seasons – with his teams winning 14 conference titles, nine conference/district tournament titles and made 17 appearances at the NAIA National Championships. The College Basketball Hall of Fame inductee led OIT to three national titles (2004, 2008, 2012), while also leading the softball team to their first-ever NAIA National Tournament appearance in 1997. He was honored as NAIA Coach of the Year in 2004, 2008 and 2012, while also earning conference/district honors 10 times.
Miles' 1973-74 basketball team became OIT's first-ever District 2 champion, defeating George Fox, 55-54, in the title game. Led by Carrigan and Herb McEachin, the Owls were co-champions of the Evergreen Conference with Central Washington and Eastern Washington and established a new district record for points in a game, scoring 127 in a win over Western Baptist. Tech was unbeaten against District 2 opponents and finished the season 24-5 after losing to Gardner-Webb in the first-round of the national tournament in Kansas City, Mo.
Morgan enters the Hall of Fame as the most decorated women's basketball player in program history, with her records established nearly 40 years ago still untouched. During her four years with the Lady Owls (1982-86), the Bonanza product scored 2,049 points and grabbed 1,276 rebounds – both still the OIT school records – as are the 603 points scored during the 1985 season and the 370 rebounds in 1986. The 4-time All-District 2 selection holds the school records with 38 points (against George Fox in 1985) and 27 rebounds (against George Fox in 1986) in a game and became OIT's first-ever women's basketball All-American in 1985. Morgan was inducted into the Cascade Conference Athlete Hall of Fame in 2003 and has served as a faculty member at Tech since 1989.
Carrigan was key to the Owls success in the 1970s, as the Central Point native was a two-time All-Evergreen Conference and two-time NAIA NAIA District 2 selection – scoring 1,098 points, adding 420 rebounds and 365 assists in his three seasons from 1971-74. During his senior season, Carrigan averaged 16.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists in helping Tech to the district crown, earning All-Little Northwest and honorable mention All-America honors.
Hummel was a two-sport standout at OIT from 1972-75, competing with Carrigan in basketball – but most-known for his exploits on the baseball diamond. After one season at Oregon State, the local product returned to the Basin and had a record-setting career at Tech – where he was the 3-time Evergreen Conference Player of the Year, earning first-team ABCA All-America honors in 1974 and honorable mention NAIA All-America honors in 1975. Hummel hit .434 for his career – including a school-record .445 as a senior, adding 25 doubles, 51 walks and 72 RBI.
Thompson has the most recognizable voice in OIT history, serving as the Voice of the Hustlin' Owls for four decades. The longtime Klamath Falls native joined the staff at Tech in 1990, handling play-by-play duties for football and basketball, while assuming the sports information director role in 1993 – a job he held for 14 years. He has been on the radio call for four OIT national championship victories (2004/2008/2012 men's basketball and 2011 softball) and will begin his 56th year behind the microphone this winter, his 33rd season with the Owls. | https://www.heraldandnews.com/sports/tickets-available-for-oits-hall-of-fame-ceremony/article_d9a2c84c-259b-11ed-9631-eb5d2d79a404.html | 2022-08-27T04:11:49Z | https://www.heraldandnews.com/sports/tickets-available-for-oits-hall-of-fame-ceremony/article_d9a2c84c-259b-11ed-9631-eb5d2d79a404.html | false | 2 |

NEW YORK: Defending champion Emma Raducanu shrugged off fears about her US Open fitness after breaking down in tears during a practice session at Flushing Meadows on Friday.
The British teenager needed to be consoled by coach Dmitry Tursunov during Friday's practice as she appeared to tearfully complain about a problem with her right hand.
However speaking to reporters later, the 19-year-old brushed off the incident, insisting she had "no concerns" ahead of Monday's opening round.
"I think that today, the practice, I had, like, a few small things, got a couple of blisters, a bit of a niggle here and there," Raducanu said.
"It's just one of those weird days where you feel a bit like nothing... I don't know. You just feel a bit out of it.
"Can't really explain myself, to be honest. I'm sure everyone in this room has probably had a day like that. It is what it is."
Pressed further about her fitness, she replied: "I mean, I have no concerns of, like, an issue, no."
Raducanu, who has had repeated problems with blisters this season, made tennis history last year after becoming the first qualifier in the Open era to win a Grand Slam singles title.
The 11th seed, who opens the defence of her title on Tuesday against French veteran Alize Cornet, said she felt no additional pressure as reigning champion.
"I think you guys are thinking probably more about pressure and ranking than me," she told reporters.
"I think defending a title is just something that the press makes up. I'm just taking it one match at a time. Like, every single player is very capable in this draw. I just focus on what I'm doing, my own trajectory. As I said last year, I'm just going to do things my way."

Surprise engagement at Atlanta's airport was a family affair
ATLANTA - Among the thousands of people crowding the arrivals terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Friday night was a family on a mission to help with a surprise proposal.
The now bride-to-be was returning from a trip to the Dominican Republic had no idea her parents, cousins, and best friends were gathered ready to help her boyfriend pop the question.
It was all part of a plan to help cheer up the now bride-to-be, who just lost her grandmother last week.
The family gathered in the arrivals terminal anxiously awaiting the couple's return from their trip.
"I think she’s probably a little disappointed that he didn’t propose while they were in the Dominican, so I think she’s gonna be shocked," said the bride-to-be’s sister Macall Benton.
It was a trip that almost didn't happen Mackenzie Brown was devastated after the death of her grandmother last Thursday, just two days before she was set to leave
"My sister did not want to go on her trip. We kind of forced her into going because we know that's what my grandmother would’ve wanted," Benton said.
When she reluctantly agreed to go on the trip, that's when her boyfriend Justin started working with Mackenzie’s family to plan the surprise proposal.
"He wanted all of our family to be included, because she missed the funeral he wanted all of us to be included," Benton said.
And that's exactly what happened when the couple walked out into the entrance of the arrivals terminal. And Mackenzie said yes.
"I didn’t think it was going to happen because it was expected to happen. So, I figured he wouldn’t, that was my thought process," she said.
Congratulations to the happy couple. | https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/surprise-engagement-at-atlantas-airport-was-a-family-affair | 2022-08-27T04:28:02Z | https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/surprise-engagement-at-atlantas-airport-was-a-family-affair | true | 1 |
A school district in southwestern Missouri decided to bring back spanking as a form of discipline for students — if their parents agree — despite warnings from many public health experts that the practice is detrimental to students.
Classes resumed Tuesday in the Cassville School District district for the first time since the school board in June approved bringing corporal punishment back to the 1,900-student district about 60 miles (100 kilometers) southwest of Springfield. The district had dropped the practice in 2001.
The policy states that corporal punishment will be used only when other forms of discipline, such as suspensions, have failed and then only with the superintendent’s permission.
Superintendent Merlyn Johnson told The Springfield News-Leader the decision came after an anonymous survey found that parents, students and school employees were concerned about student behavior and discipline.
“We’ve had people actually thank us for it,” he said. “Surprisingly, those on social media would probably be appalled to hear us say these things, but the majority of people that I’ve run into have been supportive.”
Parent Khristina Harkey told The Associated Press on Friday that she is on the fence about Cassville’s policy. She and her husband did not opt-in because her 6-year-old son, Anakin Modine, is autistic and would hit back if he were spanked. But she said corporal punishment worked for her when she was a “troublemaker” during her school years in California.
“There are all different types of kids,” Harkey said. “Some people need a good butt-whipping. I was one of them.”
Morgan Craven, national director of policy, advocacy and community engagement with the Intercultural Development Research Association, a national educational equity nonprofit, called corporal punishment a “wildly inappropriate, ineffective practice.”
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1977 that corporal punishment is constitutional and left it up to states to set their own policies. Craven said 19 states, many in the South, have laws allowing it in schools. The most current data from 2017-18 shows about 70,000 children in the U.S. were hit at least once in their schools.
Students who are hit at school do not fare as well academically as their peers and suffer physical and psychological trauma, Craven said. In some cases, children are hurt so badly that they need medical attention.
“If you have a situation where a kid goes to school and they could be slapped for, you know, some minor offense, it certainly creates a really hostile, unpredictable and violent environment,” Craven said. “And that’s not what we want for kids in schools.”
But Tess Walters, 54, the guardian of her 8-year-old granddaughter, had no qualms about signing the corporal punishment opt-in papers. She said the possibility of being spanked is a deterrent for her granddaughter, who has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
“I’ve read some some people’s responses on Facebook recently, and they’re just going over the top like, ‘Oh, this is abuse, and, oh, you’re just going to threaten them with, you know, violence.’ And I’m like, ‘What? The child is getting spanked once; it’s not beatings.’ People are just going crazy. They’re just being ridiculous,” Walters said.
Mitch Prinstein, chief science officer with American Psychological Association, said decades of research shows corporal punishment will not reduce inappropriate behavior and is likely to increase aggression, rage, hostility and could lead to depression and self-esteem problems.
Prinstein said better methods for eliminating undesirable conduct including problem-solving training; rewarding positive behavior, such as with extra recess; and providing extra attention in the classroom.
“Parents are experts on what works for their own children,” Prinstein said. “But it’s important for parents to be educated on very substantial science literature demonstrating again that corporal punishment is not a consistently effective way of changing undesirable behavior.”
Sarah Font, an associate professor of sociology and public policy at Pennsylvania State University, coauthored a 2016 study on the subject. Her research found that districts using corporal punishment are generally in poor, Republican-leaning rural areas in Southern states. Font said Black children are disproportionately subjected to it.
The disparity frustrates Ellen Reddy, of the Nollie Jenkins Family Center, which advocates on issues such as corporal punishment and special education.
“Look at the history of violence against Black and brown bodies,” said Reddy, who described herself as a Black mother of sons and a grandson. “Since we’ve been in this country, there’s been violence perpetrated against our children, our families, our foreparents. So when do we stop that kind of violence?”
Disabled students also are more likely to be subjected to corporal punishment, said Elizabeth Gershoff, a professor of human development and family sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. She said that led four states — Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Louisiana — to ban using it for those students.
She noted that overall, corporal punishment is on the decline, with the numbers dropping steadily since the federal government started tracking it in the late 1970s.
“Most schools are realizing, ‘You know what, we can discipline children, we can guide their behavior without hitting them,'” said Gershoff, who authored the 2016 study with Font.
Cassville School District spokeswoman Mindi Artherton was out of the office Friday and a woman who answered the phone in her office suggested reading the policy. She said staff had already done interviews. “At this time, we will focus on educating our students,” she added, before hanging up.
The policy says a witness from the district, which is in a county that is around 93% white, must be present and that the discipline will not be used in front of other students.
“When it becomes necessary to use corporal punishment, it shall be administered so that there can be no chance of bodily injury or harm,” the policy says. “Striking a student on the head or face is not permitted.”
In Missouri, periodic efforts to ban corporal punishment in schools have failed to gain traction in the Legislature. The state does not track which districts allow spanking because those decisions are made at the local level, a spokeswoman for Missouri’s K-12 education department said.
U.S. Sen. Christopher Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, is pushing for a ban on the use of corporal punishment in schools that receive federal funding. He has called it a “barbaric practice” that allows teachers and administrators to physically abuse students. | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/national-news/ap-missouri-school-district-reinstates-corporal-punishment/ | 2022-08-27T04:34:55Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/national-news/ap-missouri-school-district-reinstates-corporal-punishment/ | true | 38 |

Hydrostor Inc. ("Hydrostor"), a leading long-duration energy storage solution provider, and Kiewit Engineering Group Inc. ("Kiewit"), have entered an agreement to advance Front-End Engineering and Design studies for the 500MW Willow Rock Energy Storage Center ("Willow Rock"), which would be the largest stand-alone energy storage project in California.
This milestone demonstrates steady progress in the development of Hydrostor's Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage ("A-CAES") technology in North America. A-CAES (pronounced "case") uses commercially proven equipment and processes to provide affordable, large-scale, and emission- free long-duration energy storage ("LDES"). Willow Rock will be capable of storing enough energy to provide reliable power for up to 400,000 homes over 8 hours, turning California's growing solar and wind resources into on-demand peaking capacity, enabling the closure of emitting fossil fuel resources while maximizing transmission system utilization.
"Hydrostor continues to reach important milestones at Willow Rock, and we look forward to working with the world-class engineering and construction teams at Kiewit to advance this critical clean energy project. Our global teams are paving the way towards achieving aggressive net-zero goals. Willow Rock will be capable of eliminating the equivalent of roughly 120,000 cars off the road every year over its 50+ year project life," said Curtis VanWalleghem, Hydrostor's Chief Executive Officer.
"Kiewit remains committed to engaging in the clean energy transition and recognizes that LDES solutions like A-CAES are a critical component of grid modernization. We look forward to commencing work on Willow Rock, which has the potential to abate significant emissions and provide a reliable, sustainable energy source for many decades," said Kevin Needham, President of Kiewit Power Engineers.

POCA — The Nitro Wildcats began what hopes to be a continuation of the building process and came up with big plays throughout to beat the Poca Dots 27-26 in the season opener Friday night at O.O. White Stadium.
The Wildcats (1-0) took a big step forward in the “Battle for the Barrel” in their second season under coach Boom McKinney after finishing 2-8 in 2021.
“Let me just say I’m proud of my guys. They came through,” said McKinney. “It’s great to get the Barrel back home in Nitro. We’ve worked hard in the last three weeks and they did everything we asked.”
Poca opened the game with a 3-minute drive that featured a mix of pass and run, with senior quarterback Jordan Wolfe pounding it in from the 2-yard line. The key play was a 30-yard connection over the middle of the Nitro defense to sophomore Preston Bonnett.
Nitro answered with its own 51-yard drive when sophomore tailback Charles Cantrell rumbled in from 12 yards out. Three minutes later the Wildcats hit on their first big play of the half when Derek Lowe hit senior receiver Rashaun Robbins on a very well-executed inside screen for an 89-yard toss and run, putting Nitro up 14-6.
Both teams played even the rest of the half with the Dots scoring on an 8-yard toss from Wolfe to senior Brandon Moore. However, the Wildcats turned in their second big play of the half with Lowe finding Robbins open again down the sideline for a 71-yard touchdown pass. The Wildcats led at the break 20-12.
The Dots (0-1), coming off last season’s remarkable Class AA semifinal playoff run, displayed flashes of why they have been successful over the past four years. However, head coach Seth Ramsey felt he has to fix some things and get ready to play next week.
“We give up too many big plays, especially on special teams,” said Ramsey. “We gotta do a lot better in lining up and executing, and it all starts in practice. That’s where we gotta get better.”
Momentum shifted in the second half as the Dots tied the game with an 8-minute drive in the third quarter culminated on a Wolfe pass to Moore and a successful conversion to even it at 20.
But on the first play of the fourth quarter, sophomore Michael Wines returned the ensuing kickoff 65 yards for a touchdown and a 27-20 lead. But with 4:04 to play, the Dots’ Moore picked off a Nitro pass at the 50-yard line, running it down to the 4-yard line, from where Wolfe ran it in three plays later. But the Nitro defense thwarted the conversion and was able to run out the clock to take the 27-26 win.
For the Wildcats, sophomore quarterback Lowe threw for 211 yards on 8 of 15 completions. Robbins finished the night with four catches for 193 yards.
Nitro will host St. Albans next Friday, seeking to avenge last season’s narrow 6-3 loss.
Poca will go on the road next Friday night to take on another Cardinal Conference foe in Chapmanville. | https://www.wvgazettemail.com/sports/prep_sports/football/prep-football-big-plays-carry-nitro-past-poca-27-26/article_7a54e0ab-0800-56dd-838b-e90b6bdb40ab.html | 2022-08-27T04:55:53Z | https://www.wvgazettemail.com/sports/prep_sports/football/prep-football-big-plays-carry-nitro-past-poca-27-26/article_7a54e0ab-0800-56dd-838b-e90b6bdb40ab.html | false | 1 |
Support is on the rise for a two-year-old New Jersey boy battling a rare form of cancer.
Justin Corino, of Bloomfield, is beginning his fight against T-cell leukemia, according to a GoFundMe launched for his ongoing medical expenses.
"Due to medical advances, we have high expectations that Justin will make a full recovery and go on to live a healthy and happy life," reads the fundraiser launched by Kira Bjornberg.
"However, it is a terrifying and all-consuming experience to have your child diagnosed with cancer, and he will need to undergo extensive treatments."
The boy, who is just two months shy of turning three, is described as a loving big brother to "Owie" and a huge Disney fan.
As of Friday, Aug. 26, the campaign is just $10,000 shy of reaching its goal of $75,000.
"Every amount will help the family focus on showering Justin with love while he fights this disease," Bjornberg wrote.
"I know they will be extremely grateful."

AUGUST 27 — The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) staunchly rejects the push by certain quarters in Umno to have an early 15th General Election (GE15) to save kleptocrats from justice in court. Bersih calls upon all parties to instead support a new convention of ‘fixed term parliament’ by allowing the 14th Parliament to stand dissolved only on July 15, 2023.
Bersih is alarmed that the tabling of Budget 2023 has been brought forward by three weeks to 7th October, fuelling speculation that Parliament would be irresponsibly dissolved the very next day, to fish votes with generous but unguaranteed offers in an undebated budget.
Bersih condemns those who unashamedly instructed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri to seek pardon for Najib and early dissolution of Parliament. They have made clear that they want a new Government that seeks pardon for Najib, pressures judges and perhaps withdraws charges in other corruption cases.
If the supporters of Kleptocrats get their way, then the “two-class” (dua darjat) phenomenon would be institutionalised — government politicians would be spared from any legal consequences for breaking laws and robbing the people, as long as they can win elections.
Institutionalised protection for kleptocrats would destroy not just the rule of law and society, but also the economy as honest businesses and investments would leave the country in droves, sinking the country into catastrophe.
Bersih calls upon Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri to stand firm on his promise to not interfere in judiciary by rejecting the call for early GE15. He must remember his mandate comes from the Parliament, and not from Umno.
To protect Malaysia from kleptocrats, the Prime Minister must implement key reforms. First and foremost is the separation of Public Prosecution Office from the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC), to eliminate selective prosecution and impunity by Attorney General who is a political appointee and whose decision may be influenced by political considerations.
If after GE15, the Attorney General withdraws all charges against Najib in the remaining four cases, nothing can be done by any judges, and Najib would walk away as a freeman after receiving royal pardon on SRC.
The other pressing reforms include a political finance law that would provide sufficient public funding to political parties to reduce their dependence on slush funds, appointment of standing select committees to scrutinise every ministry (“departmental committees”) and reform in absentee voting for out-of-region and overseas voters to raise turnout rates.
As all these reforms would take months to be ready, if all stakeholders are given ample time to offer their inputs, the 14th Parliament should last until July 15, 2023. This would start a new constitutional convention of ‘fixed term parliament’.
With ‘fixed term parliament’, every parliament should last for its entire term, and early dissolution should be sought in only two circumstances: (a) when the government loses confidence of Parliament; and (b) when two-third of parliamentarians resolve to seek early dissolution.
With ‘fixed term parliament’, election date would be largely fixed. This would contribute to political stability by discouraging political adventurism and short-term calculations. It also allows ordinary people, especially police personnel, teachers and other civil servants involved in electoral administration, and journalists, to plan their family holidays or even wedding reception.
We call upon the Prime Minister and all parties to join force to bring more institutional reforms necessary for political stability between now and July 15, 2023.

Former Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for Privatization, Ziad Hayek, announced his candidacy for the presidency during a press conference at the “Le Royal” Hotel – Dbayeh, in the presence of economic, human rights and media experts.
Hayek pointed out that “the candidacy for the presidency comes nearly three years after the start of the financial crisis and two years after the crime of the Beirut port explosion, and no one moved a finger, except for the decision to stop Lebanon from paying debts , which increased the country’s bankruptcy and collapse, and this reality in particular imposes new faces and a new approach.”
He added, “My beloved, my family, my compatriots, the cedars of Lebanon are not of wood. You are the cedars of Lebanon, each of you is a wonderful cedar on its lands and in the world of its spread. Just as cedar resists cold and storms, so you resisted all occupations and protected your homeland, and so you are presently resisting psychological pressures. economic and even environmental.
He pointed out that “politics is the art of the possible, and we must stay away as much as possible from rigid and hardened positions. I have come here today to ask you to resist the farce of the canned elections. I have come to ask you for your help to urge your representatives to change their traditional approach to the presidential elections. Ask them to govern their consciences and vote. The vision and program that I presented, in order to spread together the aroma of rice throughout this country and the entire globe.”
Hayek explained his program through a short film that presented his biography, highlighting his academic and scientific experience as well as technology in economics, politics and diplomacy. His experience focused on achieving goals, not obstructing and wasting time and opportunities.
About Hayek
Ziad Alexandre Hayek served as the Secretary General of Lebanon’s Supreme Council for Privatization from 2006 until he was nominated to be President of the World Bank in February 2019.
The Lebanese Government withdrew Hayek’s nomination in March 2019 due to pressure by the Trump administration . The former president reportedly backed David Malpass , who was selected as 13th President of the World Bank Group by its Board of Executive Directors on April 5, 2019. Hayek is currently Vice Chair of the Bureau of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Working Party on PPP (public–private partnership) , Head of the International Center of Excellence in PPP for Ports, President of the World Association of PPP Units & Professionals, Member of the Board of Trustees of the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, Member of the Investment Committee of World YMCA, and High Commissioner for Lebanon at the World Business Angels Investment Forum.
Hayek speaks 11 languages. He is fluent in Arabic , English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and familiar with Italian, Persian, German, Russian, Hebrew and Aramaic. He has been a resident of Lebanon, Mexico, the US, Bahrain, Gabon and the UK.
In 2014, he was made Officer of the National Order of the Cedar, the highest state order of Lebanon.
Commenting on the announcement of his candidacy , Edward Akl, a political analyst told Ya Libnan” I have a lot off respect and admiration for Mr Hayek he has a long resume of global achievements, but unfortunately the Lebanese MPS who are going to decide , who will be replacing General Michel Aoun as Lebanon’s president on October 31, 2022 have long resume’s of achievements in corruption.

VATICAN CITY, (Reuters) – Roman Catholic cardinals from around the world gather for events at the Vatican starting this weekend that could amount to a dress rehearsal for an eventual conclave to choose a successor to Pope Francis after he dies or resigns.
On Saturday Francis will induct 20 prelates into the College of Cardinals, the exclusive group whose members serve as the pope’s top advisors and administrators at the Vatican and around the globe.
Sixteen of the newcomers are under 80 years old and thus join the even more exclusive inner sanctum known as cardinal electors, eligible to enter a secret conclave to choose the next pope from among themselves.
Saturday’s ceremony – known as a consistory – is the eighth time Francis has named new cardinals, again putting his stamp on the Church’s future by choosing men who mostly agree with his vision of a more inclusive Church.
“The odds are now in favour of having another pope who will continue Francis’s policies, but you never know how cardinals will vote once they enter a conclave,” wrote Father Tom Reese, a Church historian and columnist for Religion News Service.
One significant appointment in the richer countries is that of Bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego, California, who is seen as a progressive. By giving San Diego its first cardinal, Francis bypassed conservative archbishops in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
McElroy has been an outspoken ally of Francis’ pastoral approach to social issues, such as protection of the environment and a more welcoming approach to gay Catholics.
McElroy also has opposed conservative U.S. clergymen who want to ban Catholic politicians, including President Joe Biden and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, from receiving communion because of their support of abortion rights.
Francis, elected as pope in 2013, has now chosen 83 of the 132 cardinal electors, or about 63%. Church law stipulates a maximum of 120 electors but popes regularly ignore that, mostly because the numbers go down as other cardinals turn 80 and lose their voting rights.
The 85-year-old pontiff told Reuters in an interview last month that if he does resign in the future for health reasons – instead of dying in office – he has no plans to do so anytime soon. This means he could name even more cardinals as soon as next year.
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Perhaps more significant than the consistory itself will be two days of closed door meetings of cardinals on Monday and Tuesday.
The meetings, officially to discuss the Vatican’s new constitution, will give cardinals a rare opportunity to size each other up in person without being under the pressure of gathering to elect a new pope.
“For the majority of the cardinals, it will be the first time they can get to know each other personally,” wrote Luis Badilla, head of the Il Sismografo website that specialises in Church issues. He said they would be a “rehearsal for a conclave”.
Since his election as the first Latin American pope, Francis’ has mostly broken the mould used by his predecessors in picking cardinals. Often he has preferred men from far-flung places or smaller cities, rather than from big capitals of the developed world where having a cardinal was considered automatic.
Archbishop Leonardo Steiner of Manaus, Brazil, becomes the first cardinal from the Amazon region, underscoring Francis’ concern for indigenous people and the environment.
Another unexpected new cardinal elector is Archbishop Giorgio Marengo, an Italian who is the Catholic Church’s administrator in Mongolia. At 48, he is the youngest of the new cardinal electors.
Mongolia has fewer than 1,500 Catholics but is strategically significant because it borders with China, where the Vatican is trying to improve the situation for Catholics.
With each consistory, Francis has continued what one diplomat has called a “tilt towards Asia,” increasing the likelihood that the next pope could be from the region that is a growing economic and political powerhouse.
Other new electors come from Singapore, India and East Timor.

The uncertainty surrounding Novak Djokovic's participation at the US Open, which ended with the Serb announcing his decision to stay away from New York this year, has been a hot topic in the tennis world for quite some time now.
The former World No. 1s refusal to get vaccinated for COVID-19 has not only seen him draw public flak but also miss tournaments, starting with the Australian Open, where he was deported from the country hours before the tournament began.
Djokovic's continued absence from some of tennis' biggest events, according to American tennis coach and former player Rick Macci, is bad for tennis. Speaking to TJ Sports USA in a recent interview, Macci said that the fact that the Serb played in New York in the two editions — when the impact of COVID-19 was much more severe — and not this year, made no sense.
"I don't like it, it's bad for tennis. I'm not losing sleep over it but he played last year, COVID-19 was worse. He played the year before, COVID-19 was a lot worse. Now it's in the rear-view mirror but he's not vaccinated, they don't let people in the country, it's a joke. It makes no sense whatsoever," Macci said.
Macci went on to say that, in his opinion, tennis had nothing to do with the decision before dubbing the government's decision on the vaccine-related topic "unfortunate."
"I don't think tennis has anything to do with it. It's the government, you've got to be vaccinated to come in, it's unfortunate. It applies to, in my opinion, not only the best player in the world but many other people that aren't vaccinated. That maybe it affected your business, visiting relatives or whatever it impacted," he continued.
"Novak Djokovic will go down as the greatest player ever if he's allowed to play tournaments" - Rick Macci
Showering further praise on Novak Djokovic, Rick Macci said he would go down as the greatest player ever if he's allowed to play tournaments.
The American went on to say that while the authorities could have made an exception for Djokovic, he could the other side's perspective as well.
"It's just front and centre because Djoker [Djokovic], who I feel will go down as the greatest player ever to hold a racket, if he's allowed to play tournaments," Maci said.
"It looks like if you don't get vaccinated, who knows where this is going to go. I'm not in favor of it and I think they should have made a special exception, but if they do it for him, they've got to do it for everybody," he continued. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/news-i-like-it-bad-tennis-rick-macci-novak-djokovic-missing-2022-us-open | 2022-08-27T05:31:05Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/news-i-like-it-bad-tennis-rick-macci-novak-djokovic-missing-2022-us-open | false | 1 |

Apple should reveal in a few days its new generation of iPhones, with the arrival of the iPhone 14. Even with many rumors having already anticipated its possible design, alleged videos and photos showing non-functional 3D models in their possible colors.
Images published on Twitter, on the profile of DuanRui (@duanrui1205) and Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh), bring news about the look of the most expensive models of the brand.
These are non-functional prototypes with the same dimensions and visual characteristics as the finished models. Here, we see the iPhone 14 Pro Max in white, gray, gold, blue and purple, but the device revealed by Apple in a few days may not have these shades.
This new purple color looks great on the dummy iPhone 14 Pro Max..
Let’s see how good it actually is IRL pic.twitter.com/fsHo7spaih
— Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) August 25, 2022
At the back, it will continue with the same square camera module, with the lenses positioned in the same positions as the current generation, as with the LED flash and LiDAR sensor. The sides will follow the same flat finish as the iPhone 13 Pro.

Photos also show what the new hole in the screen of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will look like, with an “i” shape lying on top of the panel. Just above the display, it will have the sound output for calls, hidden on the top edge.
Meanwhile, the video also shows the device from various angles, either from the front or the back. And here, it is about the possible device in purple color.
Purple only appears at certain angles.

What to expect from the iPhone 14 line?
Reports have been saying for some time now that Apple will change its product lineup this year, dropping a 5.4-inch “mini” model in favor of a 6. 7 inches. In addition, the brand is expected to bring a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, as well as a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.
This year, there must be several differences between the common and “Pro” devices, since the simplest must have the Apple A15 Bionic processor inherited from the iPhone 13 Pro, while the most advanced will have the new Apple A16 Bionic, all with 6 GB of RAM memory.
Cameras are also expected to change, with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max boasting a 48MP main sensor that should enable video recording in 8K resolution for the first time on an iPhone. It is also expected that the front camera will get an upgrade on all models, now bringing autofocus.
But it will really only be possible to confirm his look, as well as his official color choices, at his presentation, which will take place on September 7th. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/27/alleged-purple-iphone-14-pro-appears-in-video-and-images-showing-design/ | 2022-08-27T05:32:49Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/27/alleged-purple-iphone-14-pro-appears-in-video-and-images-showing-design/ | true | 2 |
technician of Flamengo since June, Dorival Júnior has needed little time to prove that it is possible to play with Gabriel Barbosa, Gabigol, and Pedro as starters. However, in an interview with “A Rodada”the coach went further, stating that, if Bruno Henrique hadn’t been injured, he could, yes, climb the attacking trio at Rubro-Negro.
+ Dorival Júnior puts Flamengo current and Santos de Neymar as the best squads he worked
The coach revealed that he had a conversation with striker Pedro as soon as he arrived at the club, in June, and the striker gave the answer.
– Since I came here, I came with that in my head. I had a private meeting with Pedro. If he was in any team in Brazil, he would be fighting for a place in the Seleção, so why not do it at Flamengo, a team that was well-acquainted, knew everyone, everyone liked and wanted them well. He (Pedro) told me he wasn’t having opportunities, and I said he would. That he prepared himself, he improved his training capacity, intensity, participation in the locker rooms, he improved on the whole. He’s free, happy and contributing a lot to our team – said Dorival, following:
– They say: “You put Pedro in because Bruno Henrique left”. If you’re wrong, at Santos I played with Gabriel, Ricardo Oliveira and Geuvânio, or Marquinho Gabriel. Why wouldn’t I play with Bruno, Pedro and Gabriel at times? We found a beautiful formation at the moment, but Pedro, in my mind, was always a player to be looked at with great affection by all teams, especially by those who have his rights – added Dorival.
In addition, Dorival Júnior stated that he hopes that Tite finds space for Gabi and Pedro in the call-up of the Brazilian National Team for the World Cup.
– Tite knows them both very well. They are players that complement each other, they can be close, they can play in various roles within a formation. I have no doubt that they are, yes, observed. Tite has several names, but my hope is that they have a space, as they are very interesting and decisive players who can contribute a lot to our national team.
Check out other answers from coach Dorival Júnior to “A Rodada”:
Criticism for the lineup of “team B” against Palmeiras
Naturally, first because there is no total knowledge of what goes on in everyday life. Criticism is easy to make, I understand and assimilate it in a calm way.
I trust the team that I put on the field and that I train. I will put those who are better conditioned, worked on and able to give good answers into the field. Perhaps, the team that drew with Palmeiras had to have a greater recognition than the fact itself. Neutralize for most of the game the leader of the Brasileirão and who is fighting for a spot in the Libertadores final. It’s not just any opponent, and the team created many difficulties for Palmeiras.
Possibility of directing the Brazilian national team
Every professional in the world wants to reach their limits, in any area of expertise. It would not be different with everyone who works in Brazilian football. Second, we have to wait for the World Cup, if God willing Brazil is champion, suddenly Tite can rethink this position, a professional of the highest level, prepared that doesn’t owe anything to any professional outside. I have great affection because he was my Guarani companion.
Very delicate to talk about hypothesis. I have a contract with Flamengo and it will be fulfilled until the last day. I couldn’t do it with Ceará and I’m sorry for that, I don’t recommend it to anyone, do what I did, it was the first time I did it in my career. I took it for a feeling, something from the heart, so I gave up and came to Flamengo, grateful for the invitation, to be at the forefront. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/27/dorival-junior-does-not-rule-out-flamengo-with-an-attacking-trio-and-asks-for-pedro-and-gabi-in-the-brazilian-national-team/ | 2022-08-27T05:35:04Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/27/dorival-junior-does-not-rule-out-flamengo-with-an-attacking-trio-and-asks-for-pedro-and-gabi-in-the-brazilian-national-team/ | true | 2 |
interviewee of “The Round” podcast this Friday, Dorival Júnior placed the current Flamengo group as one of the best squads that has ever worked alongside Santos de Neymar, Ganso and Robinho, in 2010. In the chat, the coach talked about the recovery of the group’s “morals” – which was down in 2022 – upon his arrival at the club.
– It’s a very interesting cast today. For 70 days I had been experiencing uncertainty, difficulties, everyone being questioned, no one else was of any use. It’s to see how quickly things change once you’ve taken positions. Which is only confirmed when you have the acceptance of your working group. That’s what we felt in here – he added:
– Everyone recognizes being a different cast, perhaps one of the best I’ve worked with, if not the best. I also worked in a great squad in 2010, in the assembly of Santos, which gave me great pleasure – said the current Flamengo coach.
Check out other responses from Dorival Júnior to the podcast “A Rodada”:
Flamengo’s recovery under your command
The Brazilian coach is used to problems of this type, catching teams in the middle of competitions. In a situation like we face, this has already happened with great teams in our hands, you end up creating a kind of cuirass in which you know club situations. It’s my third time at the club, I knew most of the players in the squad. I had five or six at Santos, Filipe started with us at Figueirense, several players were on my second spell at the club.
It is natural that they make a comparison with the previous CT. I don’t like this kind of situation. You have to know, from an invitation, I had never left a club in the middle of a job, I took this position because I felt I needed to return to Flamengo and I didn’t know I would have a second chance. Something told me it was time. I have a lot of respect for Ceará, the players, the board, but I called the president and explained the whole situation.
Flamengo goalkeeper management
I took a stand on Hugo in a different sense than what people approach. I didn’t do it to remove him from the scene, but for that moment to pass, and for Hugo working within his conditions and quality, which he has a lot of, he can return in better conditions, suddenly not being held responsible for everything that had been happening. .
I know that the player has his preparation for him to assimilate praise and criticism, but I felt that Hugo was necessarily wearing out. For the professional and person he is, he didn’t deserve to be going through. He’s a great goalkeeper, I’m sure the moment he’s able to come back and the opportunity he’ll make the most of it.
With Diego it was a big misunderstanding, I have nothing against him. He returned as a starter, even coming back from injury, and had a new injury due to an overload, and Santos joined the team. Today the team has three great goalkeepers and prepared for any situation.
We all make mistakes (in 2018, in the friction with Diego Alves), but it’s a past situation. Today it is a very calm, clear, professional and respectful situation. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/27/dorival-junior-puts-current-flamengo-and-santos-de-neymar-as-the-best-squads-he-worked/ | 2022-08-27T05:35:10Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/27/dorival-junior-puts-current-flamengo-and-santos-de-neymar-as-the-best-squads-he-worked/ | true | 2 |

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admitted he was “wrong” when he previously said his side did not need to sign a new midfielder.
The German has previously been very coy in the face of questions about his side’s lack of depth, particularly in the midfield areas where they have lost the likes of Thiago Alcantara to injury. It is one factor that has seen them start the new Premier League campaign with two draws and one loss this campaign.
Liverpool host Bournemouth at Anfield in what is a must win match for the Reds, if they are to have any hope of challenging for the title. And Klopp recently announced his side will look to sign reinforcements for their midfield.

“That [looking to sign a player] changed of course,” the German said in his recent pre-match press conference. “ I know we have had this discussion since it all started.
“I am the one who said we don’t need a midfielder, and you were all right and I was wrong. That’s the situation.
“But the specific point doesn’t change — we will do something but it has to be the right one. We are actually working constantly on these things, sometimes [a possible transfer is] too expensive, sometimes not the right player, sometimes the situation changes.
Do you think Liverpool need to sign more players in the transfer window? Let us know in the comments section below
“We are working and will see if something will happen or not. I don’t know.” However, the former Borussia Dortmund manager was absolutely adamant that his side will not go and panic buy before the end of the transfer window.
“We are looking and if it is the right player we need him,” he added. “If it is not the right player we don’t need him.
“We will not change how we deal with the situation so there is nothing for me to say to you in this moment. We will see.”

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Spencer Strider pitched six strong innings and William Contreras hit a three-run double as the streaking Atlanta Braves defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 11-4 on Friday night.
Atlanta has won four straight, seven of eight and 15 of its last 17 games. The defending World Series champions remained two games behind the NL East-leading New York Mets, who beat Colorado.
St. Louis has lost three of five but still holds a six-game lead in the NL Central over Milwaukee, which lost at home to the Chicago Cubs.
Strider (8-4) scattered six hits and struck out seven — including his first five outs. The rookie allowed one run and issued one walk.
Contreras, who had his first career four-hit game, faced reliever Andre Pallante with the bases loaded and no outs in the sixth. He sent an 0-1 pitch to the right-center wall to score Austin Riley, Matt Olson and Travis d’Arnaud for a 5-1 lead.
That closed the book on Cardinals starter José Quintana (4-6), who gave up four runs — two earned — and seven hits in five innings. He struck out three and walked two.
The Braves scored three in the eighth on three singles and a hit by pitch. They tacked on three more in the ninth using two doubles and two singles.
A Cardinals error helped the Braves score their first two runs in the fourth inning. Second baseman Nolan Gorman fielded Olson’s grounder cleanly but threw wide of second base trying to start a double play. The ball settled in foul territory in left field, allowing Dansby Swanson to score from first and Olson to reach second. A single by d’Arnaud scored Olson.
Tyler O’Neill hit his ninth homer of the year in the ninth, a two-run shot, to pull the Cardinals to 11-3. St. Louis got another run after Brendan Donovan’s liner ricocheted off reliever Jackson Stephens' head. Stephens never went down and left the field under his own power after being checked by the Atlanta training staff.
CATCHING ON
Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina moved into third place with 2,092 career starts at the position, passing Bob Boone.
DADDY DUTY
Cardinals reliever Ryan Helsley returned after a week on paternity leave, including a stint on the restricted list after he extended his absence because his child needed some extra tests. ... 3B Nolan Arenado went on the paternity list after missing Thursday’s game at the Chicago Cubs to be with his wife for the birth of their first child.
ROSTER MOVES
St. Louis optioned LHP Packy Naughton to Triple-A Memphis and recalled INF/OF Juan Yepez, who had been out since July 15 with a strained forearm.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Braves: Manager Brian Snitker said 2B Ozzie Albies is close to coming off the 60-day injured list. Out since mid-June with a broken left foot, Albies joined the club in St. Louis and worked out with the rest of the team.
Cardinals: LHP Steven Matz will throw a bullpen Saturday as he tries to return from a torn MCL in his left knee sustained in mid-June. St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol expects Matz, a starter, back before the end of the season and would use him out of the bullpen.
UP NEXT
Braves: RHP Charlie Morton (6-5, 3.99 ERA) is coming off two consecutive games with double-digit strikeouts, against the New York Mets and Houston Astros. He’s allowed two or fewer runs in four of his past six games.
Cardinals: LHP Jordan Montgomery (7-3, 3.08) threw his first career shutout in his last outing, a 1-0 win at the Chicago Cubs. Since arriving from the New York Yankees in a trade for OF Harrison Bader on Aug. 2, Montgomery is 4-0 with a 0.35 ERA.

NEW YORK — This version of Mark Canha, the one with the slugging percentage rising faster than the prices of your favorite groceries, can be traced back to a couple of weeks ago and some frustrations against a rival’s reliever.
Since Aug. 15, Canha is 12-for-30 (.400) with three home runs and seven doubles. That’s 10 extra-base hits in 33 plate appearances. Through Aug. 14 and his first 367 plate appearances of the season, he had just 18 extra-base hits. His slugging percentage on that date was .367. Now, it’s .417.
On Friday, Canha went 2-for-3 with three RBIs, coming through twice for the Mets in big situations in their 7-6 win over the Rockies. First, he hit a double to left-center to give the Mets a 4-3 lead in the sixth inning. It turned out not to be enough, so he did more. Later, Canha bailed out Mychal Givens — who allowed a go-ahead, three-run double in the eighth inning in relief of starter Chris Bassitt — by hitting another double to tie it at 6. The way Canha’s swinging it, he’s good enough on nights like this to make up for a team’s glaring shortcoming, which, in the case of the Mets on Friday, was a bridge to Edwin Diaz. Pete Alonso hit the walk-off single, but the Mets don’t remain two games in front of the Braves in the NL East on Friday night without Canha.
And for that, New York has Phillies lefty Brad Hand to thank.
How else did you expect Canha to quickly start racking up the power numbers?
Mark Canha has been on a tear. This time, he bails out the Mets' bullpen.
— Will Sammon (@WillSammon) August 27, 2022
“He would probably have a good, articulate answer,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said. “I don’t. I’m just glad he’s doing it.”
Showalter was right. Canha does have such an explanation. You see, on Aug. 14, Canha was just starting to feel better at the plate. By then, his OPS had dipped to .735 after he had kept it above .750 (it’s now .794) for most of the season, and he was starting to lose playing time to freshly acquired outfielder Tyler Naquin. But in the game against the Phillies that day, Canha had two hits. The way he saw it, he was getting there. That is, until Hand took the mound. Leading up to that day, Canha was hitless in three career at-bats against Hand, with two strikeouts. On Aug. 14, in Canha’s last at-bat of the game, Hand struck him out looking.
At that moment, Canha was frustrated. He said he thought to himself, “How can I be feeling this good swinging the bat, but once Brad Hand comes in, all of a sudden, I can’t pick up the ball?” It didn’t take long, though, for him to make a realization that would later lead to a pivotal adjustment.
“Every time I’ve faced him in the past, it’s been a struggle for me,” Canha said, “and I realized it was because of his motion. He has a strange pause in his delivery and kind of a weird arm angle. I’ve just had trouble picking up his pitches in the past.”
Canha’s mind stirred with ideas on how to fix the problem.
The next day, Canha, a right-handed batter, saw something similar from Braves lefty Danny Young: another odd delay in a delivery from a special arm angle. In Canha’s first at-bat against Young, he hit a weak grounder to third baseman Austin Riley for an easy out. Canha would have one more chance against Young, another opportunity to put to practice an idea he had been pondering because of his struggles against Hand.
“OK,” Canha then said to himself, “this is the time to make an adjustment to test if this is going to work out.”
In the ninth inning against Young, Canha did something different. At the plate, he spread his legs out slightly more than usual with the objective to see the ball better. By doing this, he thought, he had a better chance to keep his head still. He would also cut down on his leg kick. The idea was to get more balanced, his weight more evenly distributed between his feet, his head not moving as much.
Canha saw the second pitch well from Young and hit a double.
“OK,” he thought, “there’s something to that.”
Bingo.
Later in the series, Canha hit two doubles off right-hander Jake Odorizzi. Then he hit a home run off talented lefty Max Fried. Using the adjusted setup — his swing has remained the same — Canha hasn’t cooled off since.
“Surprise, surprise, it worked,” Canha said. “It sounds so simple, right? But it’s not always easy for us as players with certain comfort zones and everything.”
For helping to make the adjustment stick, Canha credited the Mets hitting coaches, and he specifically mentioned a drill in which Jeremy Barnes bounces balls in different directions to a swinging Canha, who is forced to maintain balance.
There’s no telling how long this hot streak for Canha will last. He joked that in two weeks he can slump, scrap the idea that’s been working and go with something else. That’s baseball. When Showalter often calls Canha “a professional,” it’s code for saying Canha, 33, is as responsible and studious as it gets. If it’s a way to get better, a way to win, chances are Canha is thinking about it. This recent adjustment is one born from general instinct, he said.
Even when things were going well for him in April and May, he was disappointed in his slugging percentage, thinking there was a way for it to improve. With Oakland, he had shown some power production. It’s now finally showing up with the Mets.
“I’m playing with a lot of confidence,” Canha said.
For New York, that’s important. Because with Canha finding his power stroke and starting to hit better against lefties, he deepens the lineup. A stronger lineup can sometimes make up for other weaknesses. As the Mets head into September with the Braves on their heels, there’s no better time in the season for this version of Canha.

GLENDORA – There was no sugar-coating Pasadena’s big night against Glendora. When the Bulldogs finally got it going, they looked like a highlight reel.
And if Pasadena’s defense continues to dominate like this, forget about it.
Pasadena turned a close game into a rout with four touchdowns in the second half on its way to a 35-10 victory over Glendora on Friday at Citrus College.
This was far from the Bulldogs team that tired out in the second half of a 15-14 loss to La Serna last week, getting their first win to improve to 1-1.
“We came together tonight and it looked good, the second half,” Pasadena coach DeJuan Shamburger said. “We got some players back and I thought our defense was great, they’ve been working hard and we still have a lot of improving to do.”
Glendora, a team that started 11-0 last season before losing in the second round of the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs, lost for a second straight week, and again struggled to get its offense going. Glendora fell to Chino Hills, 13-6, in last week’s opener, and is now 0-2.

It took Pasadena a while to get it going, but when it did, you saw how explosive it can be.
Pasadena opened the third quarter with a 10-play, 70-yard drive that ended with Indiana Wijay’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Idrique Carmichael on fourth down, pushing the Bulldogs ahead 14-3.
Pasadena’s Ian Howard kept the momentum going for the Bulldogs with an interception, returning it to the Tartans’ 43.
After Wijay’s 18-yard pass to Baylin Brooks, the Bulldogs finished the drive on Marlan Wilson’s 3-yard touchdown run to surge ahead, 21-3.

And then the Bulldogs put it away with two more scores. Micah McGavin scored on a 2-yard touchown run and then Brooks, a San Diego State commit who was just cleared to play this week after transferring from Loyola, scored again on a 45-yard pass play from Wijay, and that was that.
Wijay threw for 178 yards and two touchdowns and Wilson rushed for 66 yards and two TDs. Brooks hauled in four receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown.
“The first half for me was a little rough,” Wijay said. “But as an offense we for sure picked it up. All our players are explosive everywhere and once we get those players the ball, it’s game over.”
After sitting out last week, Brooks was glad he could play a big part.
“It felt great to be back, and I’ve built the chemistry with my quarterback,” Brooks said. “It was frustrating in the first half, but I knew I had to bounce back because the job wasn’t finished and now it’s finished and we’re on to next week (against Damien on Thursday).”
Glendora’s quarterback Jake Denerson struggled, but did manage a 29-yard touchdown pass to Brady Baeza late in the fourth quarter for the Tartans’ only touchdown.
Pasadena didn’t have many first half highlights, but it still led, which was a credit to its defense.
Wilson nearly scored on a 24-yard run, but he finished the job on the next play, scoring from a yard out to give the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead with 4:35 to go in the opening quarter.
Glendora kept the Bulldogs’ offense off the field most of the half, limiting them to just 11 plays. The Tartans had a chance to tie the score, but couldn’t punch it in after a 16-play drive that took up half the second quarter stalled at the Bulldogs’ 6.
That Tartans had to settle for Jack Norell’s 23-yard field goal with 12 seconds left, trimming Pasadena’s lead to 7-3 at the break.

“The man left the store with an amount of cash.
“Police attended the scene and commenced an investigation. Several police units conducted patrols of the area, however, the man was not located.”

Centralia quarterback Cullen Bennet begins warming up in the second quarter. Bennet throws a touchdown pass to wide receiver Cayden Dunn for a 5-yard touchdown, which ties the game. Cullen Bennett continues to shine as he threads the needle for six. The Bulldogs running back, Anthony Shivers, scores a long touchdown run. The Bulldogs took the lead 14-12 going into halftime.
During the second half of the game, Centralia's running back, Brelen Whisler, scored a 9-yard touchdown, putting the panthers in the lead early in the 3rd quarter. Kyden Wilkerson built on his teammate's success and scored a 40-yard touchdown. The Panthers led the game 26-14.
Mexico quarterback Ty Sims scored a touchdown at the end of the fourth quarter. However, there were not enough seconds on the clock to win the game.

A much-loved iconic Tequila drink that has ceased production is fetching around £100 a bottle online - but budget supermarket chain Aldi is launching its own alternative for just £15.99. While no longer in production, bottles of Patrón XO Cafe remain on-sale from online suppliers but they come with a hefty three-figure price tag – so shoppers could save an incredible 84 per cent with the Aldi option.
The discontinuation of Patrón XO Cafe last year caused outrage among fans with hundreds signing an opposition petition as the move was widely opposed.
Patrón XO Cafe is still available on small boutique sites and Amazon, but shoppers could save a whopping £82 (84 per cent) by purchasing Aldi’s alternative The El Toro Coffee Liqueur Tequila, which boasts a delicious blend of chocolate, vanilla and coffee for a smooth yet dry finish.
To create the perfect coffee-flavoured cocktail, pour the El Toro Coffee Liqueur Tequila over ice into a small, chilled tumbler and top with Irish Cream. Alternatively, give the much-loved Espresso Martini a tequila twist:

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — As he prepares to take the bench in a couple weeks, Robert Tiefenthaler thinks back on experiences years ago that will shape the kind of judge he hopes to be.
The only person of color in his home town and school and a self-described fat kid, he was a constant target of bullies. He answered to nicknames he didn’t realize were racist until he was older and understood what people, some of them family members, were calling him.
It led to bouts with depression in high school and therapy sessions. He eventually decided that no one could stop people from picking on him, so he’d make it impossible for them to do so.
“Since my junior year in high school, I strived to be my best in whatever I did,” Tiefenthaler told the Sioux City Journal. “My goal was to be the best, because when you’re number one, no one can make fun of you.”
On Sept. 1, Tiefenthaler, 53, of Sergeant Bluff, will become the first Black district court judge in Iowa’s Third Judicial District.
“I’m proud to be the first. I hope I’m not the last,” he said.
Tiefenthaler also hopes his background, not just as a person of color but also as a hate crime victim and someone with up-close experience with addiction and mental illness, will help those who stand before him believe they received a fair hearing.
“I think I’m a person who has crossed cultural lines and has had experiences that will shape the way I see cases,” Tiefenthaler said. “I hope everybody who leaves my courtroom feels they’ve been treated fairly.”
He’s drawn upon those experiences to identify with clients during his years as a private attorney who practiced family, personal injury, juvenile and worker’s compensation law and criminal defense law.
Those experiences began 10 days after he was born in Sioux City and adopted by Bonnie and Dean Tiefenthaler, a white couple from Breda in Carroll County, where he worked on the family farm and hauled gravel during the summers he was in college for his dad’s trucking company. He was a gifted singer, and at Kuemper Catholic High School in Carroll, he learned he also had a knack for talking and arguing, honing all those skills in school musicals, speech and debate.
Still, he was the only Black student in school, and his lighter skin tone made it hard for him to identify himself, even while others called him names.
It helped fuel that competitive desire to be the best, and he attended the University of South Dakota, majoring in criminal justice and political science as an undergraduate before earning his law degree there in 1994. During college, he met other Black students and learned more about a culture he still wasn’t sure applied to him because of uncertainty about his background.
That uncertainty eased after making contact with his biological parents, Louise Jenn and James Fenceroy, while he was in college. The relationship he developed with his biological parents, both of whom live in Sioux City, and their families helped him answer questions about his own identity. They joined his adoptive family at his law school graduation and will do so again during his Sept. 23 swearing-in ceremony, along with his wife, Brenda, with whom he has two children and six grandchildren.
Tiefenthaler credits his paralegal, Barbara Renfro, who’s been with him since he opened his own practice in 1999, for helping him develop compassion for the underdog. The numerous court-appointed clients he’s had over the years taught him how much drug addiction and mental illness can be responsible for criminal behavior, showing that crimes aren’t always what they appear to be on the surface. He sometimes was frustrated with how the judicial system didn’t always take the extra step to order services that could have treated issues that led to his clients’ criminal behaviors.
“Justice doesn’t come in one nice package in each case,” Tiefenthaler said. “I now have the power to do something about it.”
He laughs that acquaintances tell him he’s crazy to give up income as a private attorney and take on the added responsibilities of a judge. Tiefenthaler said they’re missing the point.
“I have felt a higher calling to do this. If I’m in it for the money, I’m in it for the wrong reasons,” he said. “I’ve just wanted to make a difference in people’s lives.”
Now, he’ll have more chances to do so. He can order offenders to undergo addiction treatment or therapy that could improve their lives.
His experience as the victim of two separate hate crime assaults, he said, also helps him understand how victims are affected by the offenders who will appear before him.
“My judicial philosophy is I think everyone should have their day in court,” Tiefenthaler said. “The courtroom is supposed to be a place where everyone feels they’ve been treated equally.”
Coming from someone who knows how it feels to be treated badly just because of his appearance, it’s a statement that speaks loudly and comes from experience.
The experience that will help guide his decisions and benefit those who come into his courtroom. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/District-s-first-Black-judge-proud-to-be-the-17395441.php | 2022-08-27T06:45:42Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/District-s-first-Black-judge-proud-to-be-the-17395441.php | true | 13 |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Oneil Cruz’s bat slipped out of his hands and went flying into the stands after the Pittsburgh Pirates rookie struck out in the third inning Friday night against Philadelphia.
That’s when things got sticky.
The lumber landed in Jen Mehall’s lap behind the Phillies dugout. Mehall, a Pirates fan, was thrilled to get the souvenir — especially after it dinged her in the leg and lip. An inning later, though, a Pirates official came to request the bat back and offered another one in a trade.
Mehall and her friend, Kathie Koller, who were in town from Reading to celebrate Koller’s birthday, didn’t want to give up their rare keepsake.
“We wanted to keep it, but security said we couldn’t,” said Mehall, who is originally from Western Pennsylvania.
Fans in the sections around the two women booed loudly.
Although they were disappointed, Mehall and Koller did have the good fortune of sitting in front of former Phillies infielder and team ambassador Mickey Morandini. He got the women a bat bearing the signature of Phillies star slugger Bryce Harper.
It was a nice gesture by Morandini, though the women seemed genuinely upset about not being able to hang onto the bat they caught.

GTA games have given us some bitter-sweet memories. From following that train to robbing the Union Depository to getting calls from cousin Roman to struggling with the RC helicopter, these titles involve heavy nostalgia.
Being one of the most popular and successful video game franchises, Grand Theft Auto has some of the most replayed games in the community.
Not all games are worth playing for everyone, but hardcore players always have their fan favorites. Many vouch for the same titles because of their nostalgia and storylines.
Note: This article reflects only the writer's opinions.
Five GTA games fans go back to most often
5) Grand Theft Auto 3
GTA 3 was said to be the pioneer of the open world and 3D games era. It brings users from an over-the-top view of Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2 to a new ground-level real-life perspective, delivering a fresh new feel.
The game introduces us to Claude, a silent protagonist in the fictional Liberty City. It offers a linear storyline with 77 missions that include 51 storyline, 17 phone, four off-road, four remote-controlled, and one side mission(s).
4) Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Vice City is one of the most loved games of all time. It gives players a nostalgic retro vibe of the '80s.
Based on the fictional Vice City, the title introduces us to the protagonist Tommy Vercetti and his criminal exploits. It also offers a linear storyline with a total of 87 missions, including 38 story, 19 asset, six racing, five phone, three stadium, four off-road, three remote-controlled, one sparrow, and eight side missions.
3) Grand Theft Auto 4
GTA 4 is the first HD 3D game of the franchise. Based again on the fictional Liberty City, this time, Rockstar Games gave users a more realistic and immersive experience.
The title introduces us to Nico Bellic as the main protagonist. For the first time, Rockstar decided to go with a slightly non-linear storyline with two endings.
The choices of gamers also change the storyline progress in some missions.
2) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas represents hoods, it represents gangsters, and most importantly, it represents Carl "CJ" Johnson. Released in 2004, it is still one of the most iconic and repeatedly played games.
Besides having a linear storyline, it offers numerous side activities and tasks like going to the gym, eating in fast food chains, arcade games, and many more. It also has a cameo from Claude, the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto 3, in one of the missions.
San Andreas offers a massive 100 missions. The modding community is still very active even after 18 years of its release.
1) Grand Theft Auto 5
Rockstar's biggest and most ambitious project is GTA 5. Released almost a decade ago, the title is still loved and replayed by fans.
It introduces three protagonists — Franklin, Michael, and Trevor — and tells their own stories, which artfully align with the other protagonists and the main storyline.
Like GTA 4, this title also offers a slightly non-linear storyline with three endings. Game progress is also affected by the player's choice. It offers 79 story missions that can change based on their choices.
Grand Theft Auto 5 also offers an online multiplayer version that is still active and evolving. The recently expanded and enhanced consoles version also updated the game mechanics.
The modding and speedrunning community is also very active in providing users with new and improved ways to play the game.

After a 31-0 shelling at the hands of Liberty Center in week one Tinora bounced back nicely in their home opener grabbing four interceptions and stifling a high-flying Wauseon offense in a 27-14 victory.

LOUIS -- Atlanta Braves reliever Jackson Stephens was hit in the side of the head by a line drive Friday night and was headed to a hospital for tests.
Stephens walked off the field in the ninth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals and appeared to be unhurt.
"He's aware and everything but he's going to have to go to the hospital and get some tests," Braves manager Brian Snitker said after his team's 11-4 victory. "It's always scary when you see somebody get hit in the head, the face. That's probably the most sickening thing you can witness in a game."
With one out and runners on second and third, Brendan Donovan blistered a line drive that struck Stephens in the right temple. The ball ricocheted into shallow right field for an RBI single.
Stephens never went down, but was immediately checked by the Atlanta training staff. After a moment, he walked off the field under his own power to loud applause from what remained of the crowd at Busch Stadium.
Tyler Matzek replaced Stephens and got the final two outs. | https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34466823/atlanta-braves-reliever-jackson-stephens-hit-head-line-drive-taken-hospital-tests | 2022-08-27T07:11:36Z | https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34466823/atlanta-braves-reliever-jackson-stephens-hit-head-line-drive-taken-hospital-tests | false | 1 |
Anne Boleyn: Historian ‘shocked’ as ‘huge myth’ about former Queen debunked
A HISTORIAN researching Anne Boleyn has spoken of her "shock" at a "huge myth" about the former Queen during an interview with Express.co.uk.
Anne Boleyn 'shifts shape' in historical depictions says expert
Anne Boleyn, the second of Henry VIII’s six wives, is one of the most famous women in history. Her life and death at the Tower of London in 1536 have been pored over by historians for hundreds of years. But while Anne’s own story is well-documented, the lives of the women who served her have often been overlooked. However, a Tudor expert has now taken a deep dive into the stories behind these women and uncovered some “huge myths” about their relationships to Anne.
Tudor expert Sylvia Barbara Soberton said she was “shocked” during her research as she debunked some of the popular misconceptions about the former Queen’s ladies in waiting that have been repeated for centuries.
Some historians have stated that one of Anne’s maids of honour, Anne Gainsford, was an informant, who was spying on the Queen, but this is false, according to Ms Soberton.
Speaking to Express.co.uk about this myth, she said: “Many myths are still perpetuated about the women who served her.
“Because for example, we have this myth that is part of the narrative of Anne’s rise and fall.
“That one of her maids of honour, Anne Gainsford was an informant of George Wyatt.
JUST IN: Royal Family LIVE: 'Huge decision' Harry handed TWO options and told brace for 'cut off'
“Wyatt wrote the first ever biography of Anne in 1606 and his Nineteenth Century editor identified one of the two women who were his informants as Anne Gainsford.”
Wyatt was an English Sixteenth Century writer and politician, but there is a key reason why Anne Gainsford could not have been his informant, according to Ms Soberton.
She explained: “She could not have been his informant because she died some five years before Wyatt was even born.
“It is quite shocking that it is repeated as a fact, and nobody really checks these things.
“Somebody writes something, and another person assumes it is a fact.
“So, the snowball is rolling. I think this is a huge myth.”
Ms Soberton is a Europe-based writer and researcher, specialising in the history of the Tudors.
She debunked some of the myths around Anne while researching her latest book, ‘Ladies-in-Waiting: Women Who Served Anne Boleyn’.
In her new work, Ms Soberton takes an in-depth look at Anne’s ladies in waiting and maids of honour.
The lives of more than 30 women who served Anne are chronicled in the book, although the author acknowledges that the records about them are incomplete.

Anne Gainsford is listed as the daughter of Sir John Gainsford and his second wife, Anne Haute.
The maid of honour, who married in the 1530s, served Anne Boleyn before she became Queen in 1533.
Ms Soberton was surprised that historians have sometimes overlooked Anne Gainsford and the rest of Anne’s female inner circle.
She said: “In general terms, I think little attention is usually paid to Anne’s ladies in waiting. They played a huge role in her life.
“From the moment that she woke up to the moment that she went to bed, she was accompanied by people and most of these people were women.
“In general terms, historians spend little time describing Anne’s household.”

Drivers giving a lift to friends and family to the airport hit by 'sky-high' drop-off fees as two-thirds put up prices post-pandemic
- London Stansted is the most expensive, with an initial fee of £7 for 15 minutes
- Drop offs at Heathrow and Gatwick were free before the pandemic, but no more
- Bristol Airport hikes initial drop off fees by 400% - from £1 to £5 per 10 minutes
- Cardiff, London City and Belfast City the only airports not charging initial fees
Drivers dropping off friends or relatives at the airport face being ripped off as two thirds of the UK's 21 busiest airports have put prices up, new research by RAC reveals.
Desperate to recoup heavy losses suffered during the Covid pandemic, cash-strapped airports have been introducing higher parking fees in the past couple of years.
Airports argue that drop-off charges are meant to encourage travellers to use public transport to get to the airport, making journeys more sustainable.
Drop-off charges: Cash-strapped airports have been introducing higher parking fees in the past couple of years as they try to recoup losses suffered during the pandemic
London Stansted is the most expensive for drop-offs, with an initial fee of £7 for 15 minutes, which it introduced in November 2020. It used to be £4 for 10 minutes in the summer 2019.
Stay any longer than 15 minutes and you are stung with a £25 charge.
Luton comes second, with the airport charging £5 for parking 10 minutes at drop-off – a charge set in January 2021 – and £1 a minute thereafter. It used to charge £4 for 13 minutes before the pandemic.
Drivers arriving at both Luton and Stansted will have to pay at gate barriers when leaving the airport.
Britain's two busiest airports Heathrow and Gatwick, where drop-offs were free before the pandemic, have also succumbed to introducing them.
Both charge £5, which will get you just 10 minutes at Gatwick and an unspecified number of minutes at Heathrow. If you overstay at Gatwick, you will pay £1 per minute up to 20 mins and £25 for 30 minutes.
Drivers at Heathrow can pre-pay online or by phone, giving their car registration number and credit or debit card details. Or they have until 11.59pm the following day to pay. If they don't, they face a £80 parking charge notice.
Manchester Airport gives drivers just five minutes for dropping off at a cost of £5, a 67 per cent increase from the £3 it charged in 2019. Add £1 extra and you have 10 minutes, but stay longer and there is a £25 fee.
The charges, introduced in November 2020, are paid at the barrier gate.
Liverpool John Lennon has raised its fees to £4 for 10 minutes, from £3 for 20 minutes before the pandemic.
Bristol and East Midlands Airports have both put up their charges to £5 for 10 minutes and 15 minutes respectively.
Bristol Airport's hike is especially steep - an increase of 400 per cent - as it was charging £1 for 10 minutes in 2019.
Holidaymakers using the three largest airports in Scotland fair little better. Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow Airports have all doubled their drop-off fees to £4 for 10 minutes.
Only Birmingham and Belfast International Airports have kept their fees the same since 2019, with drivers paying £3 for 15 minutes and £1 for 10 minutes respectively.
The only main airports still not charging drop-off fees near the terminal entrance are Cardiff, London City and Belfast City airports.
RAC head of roads policy, Nicholas Lyes, said: 'Anyone dropping a loved one off at the terminal this summer will be stunned by some of these sky-high 'kiss and drop' charges.
'And for those using the UK's two busiest airports, the luxury of free drop-offs outside the terminal building has been replaced by some pretty high fees.
'While airports have had a turbulent couple of years with the pandemic, it very much looks like they have put up drop-off fees to partially make up for two years of lost revenue.'
He went on to say: 'Drop-off charges were meant to encourage travellers to use public transport to get to the airport, but with strikes impacting the rail network this summer and public transport options being limited at some airports, people will understandably seek more reliable ways to get to the terminal and that usually means asking a friend or relative to give them a lift.
'The increase in drop-off fees, combined with high fuel prices, means taking loved-ones to the airport this summer is more expensive than ever.'

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has called for more investments in agricultural development to curb rising food insufficiency in Nigeria.
He said that oil palm production was one area that wealthy Deltans and Nigerians could invest in to create job opportunities and economic development of the people.
Okowa, who is Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made the call on Friday, after inspecting Oil Palm Plantation and Refinery under construction at Akwukwu-Igbo, Oshimili North Local Government Area of the State.
The project which is a joint venture between Northsworthy Farms and Allied Industries Limited and the Delta State Government has successfully planted over 250,000 oil palm trees in over 1,400 hectares of land.
Okowa stated that he believed in the partnership because it would help the immediate community and the environment, adding that currently, no fewer than 300 workers were engaged on daily basis on the project.
He commended the Management and staff of Norsworthy Farms, the Obi of Akuku-Igbo and the people of Illah for their support and cooperation towards the successful take-off of the project.
“Four years ago the management of Norsworthy Farms spoke to me when they were to commence and I thought it a worthy venture to have the state government stay supportive and in partnership with them to develop this oil palm plantation, now with a mill already being installed.
“We had some problems no doubt, but we thank God that our management team in the state government was able to walk around the corners with the various communities involved.
“Where we are now, is quite interesting because we have had the opportunity to go round the one thousand four hundred hectares of land, all planted with oil palm seedlings that have grown so much; some are already producing.
“As a state government we believe in this worthy partnership because beyond the fact that it will help to grow the economy of this environment and also help the immediate communities that are around here, we are very mindful of the fact that it is going to generate a lot of employment for our people.
“I have been told that on the average, 300 persons are working on a daily basis in this place and I believe that when the mill comes on stream, we are going to have more persons engaged.
“There is going to be a lot of multiplier effects and that’s what we are set out to achieve,” he said.
He added that the partnership would create more opportunities for outgrowers, especially in the oil palm development value-chain and urged Deltans to key into the opportunity provided by the partnership.
“In the partnership with Norsworthy, we are very mindful of the job creation effect and the fact too that they would be paying taxes at some point in time and that would help to also grow our internally generated revenue.
“The important thing is that, I discussed with the management of Norsworthy and they assured me that with time they are going to encourage out growers schemes in this place and get people out side the community to partner with them.
“This will help to increase the funding available to families who are ready to partner with the farm. And that is the key point in oil palm development.
“I believe that if we are able to ensure that partnership, a lot of our families will be much richer than they are now in the next few years,” the governor said.
He also said that the construction of the 13.5km Ugbolu-Akwukwu-Igbo road by his administration would enhance quick access to the farm for the economic development of the area.
“We have also ensured that this place is not restricted by poor road access, we did our commitment by constructing this road which is about 13.5kms road and I have been told by the contractor that by December, he would have finished the road.
“I am glad to hear that Norsworthy wants to expand more and more and in partnership with the state government, they have gotten a land at Ubulu-uku. I am looking forward and hoping that they would even expand beyond that.
“I want to urge our people who are outside Delta state, who are Deltans, that there is still a lot of land to come in and invest and help create job for our brothers and sisters.
“I believe it is a form of giving back, for people to come back to their state and invest. So I want to truly appreciate you for deciding to return home to invest and add to the development of our state,” the governor stated.
Earlier, Managing Director of Northsworthy Farms and Allied Industries Limited, Dr Gabriel Ogbechie, had thanked the governor for his support and vision for the project.
He said that the project was conceived about four years ago adding that it was indeed a contribution to the agricultural development and food sufficiency need of the country.
He said the company aims to expand further with the acquisition of additional 600 hectares of land at Ubulu-Uku in Aniocha South Local Government Area. | https://www.thenews-chronicle.com/food-sufficiency-okowa-calls-for-more-investment-in-agriculture/ | 2022-08-27T07:17:42Z | https://www.thenews-chronicle.com/food-sufficiency-okowa-calls-for-more-investment-in-agriculture/ | false | 3 |
Due to a combination of strong financial performance and operations within a durable, defensive industry, Waste Management (WM) has attracted a lot of investors' attention. While the company possesses many desirable attributes, its valuation seems to be somewhat out of sync with the mature life stage of both the firm and the industry.
In a very turbulent year for stocks, where the S&P 500 (SPX) is down about 15% year-to-date, WM stock has charted its own course. Seen widely as a defensive play in a turbulent market, the stock is slightly up on the year.
A Much Needed, Mature Industry
The waste solutions industry is rather mature, and it is expected to grow at a 3.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) until 2030. Primary growth drivers include environmental government measures that aim to increase sustainability. In addition, recycling services should also exhibit good growth potential, given consumers' growing environmental awareness.
Other factors affecting industry performance include population and urbanization trends as well as levels of industrial production. Labor, transportation, and equipment costs, on the other hand, make the list of factors that can hamper industry growth.
The industry is very capital-intensive, and companies depend on the creation of economies of scale in order to achieve profitability. As a result, barriers to entry are high, and market leaders are likely to exhibit higher margins and cost efficiency.
A Durable Business Model
Through its subsidiaries, WM offers comprehensive waste management environmental services across the United States and Canada. The company serves a broad customer base that includes residential, commercial, and industrial clients while offering services at each stage of the collection and disposal process.
WM is also well-positioned (it's the largest recycler in North America) in an economy that values sustainability while continuing to innovate toward environmentally-friendly solutions. WM currently operates 49 Materials Recovery facilities (recycling plants), and Recycling Services represent 8% of total revenue.
Reinforcing its industry leadership position, WM controls a vast operational network consisting of 260 active landfills, 340 transfer facilities, 15,500 collection routes, 550 collection sites, and 96 materials recovery facilities. Given the capital-intensive nature of the waste solutions industry, competitors will find reproducing Waste Management's economies of scale very challenging. It is, therefore, safe to assume that the competitive edge the company maintains is likely to solidify over the next years.
Even as Waste Management's business sees some fluctuation with changes in industrial output and activity, the essential nature of waste collection and processing services allows for predictable cash flows, especially considering that 75% of WM's revenue is recurring in nature. Constant innovation and technological advances also assist in further operational cost reductions.
Waste Management's Financial Performance Remains Strong
Using its predictable revenue streams as a foundation, Waste Management has managed to increase its top line by a CAGR of 6.1% since 2017, while growth has somewhat accelerated as of recently, reaching a three-year CAGR of 7.5%. Over the last year, WM's revenue has grown by 15.2%. Net income has followed a similar trajectory, increasing at a five-year CAGR of 10.5% and 34% year-over-year growth.
For Fiscal 2022, analysts are looking for a sizable 18.3% EPS increase and 10.2% revenue expansion. Mid-single-digit growth for revenue and low double-digit increases for earnings are expected through 2025.
Top-line growth comes both organically and through acquisitions, with the company spending $1.0 billion, on average, on cash acquisitions annually over the past five years. As the industry remains fragmented, M&A activity is not expected to slow as long as management can identify attractive opportunities.
M&A transactions also create synergies between the involved parties that help reduce SG&A expenses and are, in that sense, cost-effective. Since 2017, WM has completed 88 acquisitions, gaining over 560 million in annualized revenue as a result.
Profitability remains one of WM's stronger attributes. Gross profit margins stand at 37.4%, significantly higher than the industrial sector's median of 29.2%. EBIT and net margins also appear convincing, at 16.65% and 11.3%, respectively.
Reinvesting in the business has been consistently on WM's priority list for years. Over the last five years, the company has allocated, on an annual basis, an average of about $2.0 billion toward capital expenditures. When it comes to cash flows from financing, WM has used significant amounts of cash to retire old debt while issuing new debt at the same time. The net effect leads to small increases in the company's outstanding debt balance.
On the balance sheet, its long-term debt currently amounts to $13.3 billion (almost 19% of its market cap). Total debt is about $14.2 billion when including lease liabilities. While its debt levels are not alarming, they do lead to considerable interest expenses. Liquidity-wise, WM stands just over 1.0x current ratio, which isn't horrible, but some more room for maneuverability would be preferable.
Is WM a Good Dividend Stock?
While Waste Management's dividend yield of 1.5% is around the market's average and generally considered to be on the low side, the company offers attractive dividend growth prospects. Over the past five years, dividend growth has accelerated, reaching 8.0% (annualized). In the past 12 months, dividends have grown by 9.4%. With EPS expected to continue to increase, investors should be confident that dividend increases will continue, a least over the medium term.
Given the company's cash flow generation, dividend payments are considered safe. Producing more than $2.0 billion in free cash flow (cash from operations - CapEx), WM can easily cover the current $1.0 billion in annual dividend payments while also maintaining enough room for future growth.
Its free cash flow has also afforded WM the opportunity to slowly reduce its share count over the past decade. Since 2012, shares outstanding have decreased from 465 million in 2012 to 413 million as of the last filing. As the company matures more, it is likely that, given the availability of free cash flow, stock repurchases will accelerate.
Is Waste Management Stock Overvalued?
As WM's stock price has aggressively increased over the last few years, its valuation has been pushed to the higher side. In fact, the 33x TTM P/E multiple the stock currently carries is almost unheard of for companies in the industrial sector. The same goes for an elevated 3.8x price-to-sales ratio and a 10x price-to-book ratio. The current dividend yield of 1.5% is also somewhat lower than the company's four-year average 1.75% yield, once again leading to the conclusion that the stock is overvalued.
On the other hand, keeping in mind the company's efficient cash flow generation, one could argue that its 16x price-to-cash-flow ratio is not that exaggerated.
Is WM a Good Stock to Buy?
Turning to Wall Street, Waste Management has a Moderate Buy rating based on four Buys and four Holds assigned over the past three months.
The average WM stock price forecast of $172.13 represents 0.55% downside potential, with a high price forecast of $190 and a low forecast of $160.
Conclusion: WM Stock Lacks an Appealing Entry Point
After all things are considered, it appears that WM just lacks an appealing entry point for investors right now. For what is an otherwise attractive business in almost all aspects, investors should exhibit patience, waiting for a potential pullback to increase future upside potential.

Durga
Puja 2022 seems all set to become a memorable year for travel-hungry Bengalis. And that’s all thanks to the 11-day Durga Puja vacation (September 30 to October 10) announced by the Bengal government. Add the Sunday to the tail, and the vacation gets a whole day longer.
No wonder, the phones of travel agencies have been ringing off the hook since the announcement was made last Monday. “The announcement is turning out to be a boon for travel agents. All major travel agencies are getting at least 25-30 enquiries every day. Hotels and train and air tickets are almost fully booked for that period. Around 40% of these enquiries are for domestic destinations, while the rest is for international travel. The demand is high for international destinations because of the long vacation,” said Anil Punjabi, chairman, eastern region, Travel Agents Federation of India, and the owner of a travel agency. So where’s Kolkata headed this Puja? Let’s find out.
Then there are the online bookingsThe announcement also made a large section of vacationers change their travel plans in a hurry, as they hadn’t anticipated such a long Puja holiday. And the most convenient option for them was to do the bookings online to save time. Joydeep Dutta Gupta, a city-based professional, is travelling to Karnataka and has done all the bookings online. “We were initially thinking of going to North Bengal, but after the 11-day vacation announcement, we changed our plan. Now, we are going to Coorg and other places in Karnataka. We booked everything online, as that’s much easier and time saving. We are utilising those 11 days to the fullest,” he told us.
According to the travel industry sources, the most preferred international destinations are Dubai and countries in Southeast Asia. “Goa tops the list of domestic destinations followed by Kashmir, Rishikesh and North Bengal,” said Anil Punjabi.
Manav Soni, the chairman of Travel Agents Association of India, said they have also been receiving lots of enquiries about Sikkim and Goa. Usha Agarwal, owner of a city travel agency, added that they have done quite a few bookings for Kerala backwaters too. “Many are planning their first international trip this year because of the long vacation. We’re swamped with Thailand booking requests,” she said.
Bilolaksha Das, from abother travel agency, said though the demand for international trips is high, they have been doing a lot of domestic bookings too. “From Mandarmani to Manali, people are going wherever their budget is taking them,” she said.
Celebs inspiring trips?Tnusree Chakraborty recently returned from a trip to Dubai and Sreenanda Shankar from a trip to the Maldives with her mother Tanusree Shankar. The photos posted by them and other celebs on social media are also prompting many to visit picturesque destinations this Puja.
Rush for hotel bookingsThe demand for accommodation during Puja has been extremely high this year, especially after the holiday announcement. We are converting our large conference halls into rooms so that we can accommodate as many tourists as we can
— Indranil Sarkar, owner of a resort at Lataguri, North BengalOur phone is ringing off the hook with Kolkata-based travel agencies calling us to arrange hotels in Pattaya, Krabi, Bangkok, Phuket, Hua Hin, Chang Mai and Kosamui, among others. We’re being told that many tourists are willing to pay more than the usual rates to get decent accommodation, as the demand is high
— Gautam Gurbani, owner of a travel agency in ThailandAt first, we were planning to visit Goa this Puja. But thanks to the long vacation, we’re now going to Thailand. Though the demand for Thailand is quite high, our travel agency has planned our trip nicely,so it’s not going to be that hectic

Flood-ravaged Pakistan to deploy Army to assist in rescue and relief work
- Country:
- Pakistan
The Pakistan government has decided to call in the Army to help in the rescue and relief operations after many parts of the country were ravaged by the worst floods in more than a decade that has affected more than 33 million people, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said on Saturday.
So far 982 people have been killed due to floods across Pakistan. As many as 45 persons died in the last 24 hours, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
Another 1,456 persons were hurt, with 113 injuries reported in the last 24 hours, it said.
Interior Minister Sanaullah said the armed forces were being deployed in the wake of the biggest floods in more than a decade.
He said the troops have been called in under Article 245 of the Constitution which empowers the government to summon the Army in aid of the civilian administration to deal with an emergency.
A formal notification issued on Friday read that the exact number of troops and area of deployment would be worked out by respective provincial governments in consultation with the military operations directorate and General Headquarters.
"The date of de-requisitioning of said deployment will be decided subsequently after mutual consultation among all stakeholders," according to the notification.
The calamity has badly hit the infrastructure of the country with the NDMA reporting that more than 3,161 kilometres of road were damaged and 149 bridges swept away, while 682,139 houses were totally or partially damaged in the floods.
Floods triggered by unprecedented monsoon rains have submerged more than half of the country, leaving more than 5.7 million without shelter and food in 110 districts.
Sindh and Balochistan provinces have been worst hit by the disaster and Pakistan Railway has suspended its operation at several places in the two provinces while Pakistan International Airlines also halted on Friday its flights to Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, due to bad weather.
According to Minister for Environment Sherry Rehman, the country normally witnesses about three to four spells of torrential rains every year.
However, Pakistan has this year so far been hit by eight monsoon spells and more downpour is expected.
The NDMA data shows that during the last 30 years the average rainfall in the monsoon season was 132.3 mm while so far 385.4 mm of rains have been recorded since June 14 -- about 192 per cent more than the previous three decades.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a meeting with a select group of Islamabad-based Ambassadors, High Commissioners, and other senior members of the diplomatic corps ambassador on Friday briefed on the flood situation in the country.
He said that as per the initial damage assessment, the losses caused by the floods were comparable to those Pakistan suffered during the flash floods of 2010-11.
The meeting was attended by Ambassadors and High Commissioners of Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Kuwait, UAE, Turkiye, South Korea, the US, Germany, and senior diplomats of Bahrain, the European Union, France, Oman, Qatar, the UK, and Saudi Arabia.
The Country Representative of the World Food Programme (WFP) was also present at the meeting, according to the Foreign Office.
The Prime Minister said that more than 33 million people had been badly affected by the flash floods and torrential rainfalls.
He said that Pakistan's carbon emission footprint was negligible but it was ranked at the 8th position among the countries exposed to the horrors of climate change.
Noting that climate change has made flooding worse, the Prime Minister emphasised rehabilitation and reconstruction of climate-resilient infrastructure in Pakistan.
Sharif said that given the urgency of the challenge, the government had decided to reach out to friendly countries, donors, and international financial institutions for their continued cooperation at this difficult hour.
He said that the Foreign Office and the NDMA were closely coordinating with the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Islamabad to launch a UN Flash Appeal on August 30.
Speaking on the occasion, foreign diplomats expressed condolences and sympathies to the people and the government on the loss of precious lives and damage to infrastructure in the floods.
They assured the government of their country's continued support to meet the requirements of the rescue and relief operations across Pakistan.

A 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has been independently dyno-tested for the first time. The test, which proved challenging to conduct, showed that Ford’s all-electric pickup truck comes close to its factory-rated output.
An extended-range model was used in the test, which was conducted by the Texas Truck Show with assistance from dyno manufacturer Dynocom. Ford rates that version at 580 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque, and the dyno showed 565 hp and 784 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. That represents a 3% loss in horsepower from the motors to the wheels, but slightly more torque than the published specs.
Just getting that result was difficult, Brian Raupe, host of the Texas Truck Show, explained in an email to Motor Authority. At 145.5 inches at the hub centers, the Lightning’s wheelbase exceeded the limits of most all-wheel-drive dynos testers had access to. These tend to be used for smaller sports cars and max out at a 125-inch wheelbase.
With performance trucks, the solution would typically be to run in rear-wheel drive on just one set of rollers. But that wasn’t an option with the dual-motor Lightning. Dynocom ended up modifying one of its DC-6000 dynos to accommodate the Lightning’s longer wheelbase. The DC-6000 uses a gearbox to synchronize the two rollers. That’s more accurate than typical belt systems, which are prone to stretching, Raupe noted.
Dyno tests also typically rely on engine speed, but that’s not a relevant figure for EVs because of their instant torque. Dynocom measured wheel speed instead. A final drive ratio is also needed for calculations, but Ford doesn’t publish one for the Lightning. Using wheel speed and tire height, testers estimated a final drive of 2:1 for each of the Lightning’s motors.
Finally, the Lightning initially cut power down to less than 200 hp around 70 mph, then would ramp back up to full power on the way to an indicated 107-mph top speed. This was due to excessive acceleration without real-world weight and wind resistance, Raupe said. Basically, the truck thought it something was wrong and limited power. The workaround was using software to apply added resistance to the dyno rollers, simulating real-world conditions.

Two days after saying he was in no hurry to decide on the Seahawks' starting quarterback, Seattle coach Pete Carroll announced his decision on Friday, going with Geno Smith rather than Drew Lock.
The official word came after the Seahawks lost 27-26 to the Dallas Cowboys on Friday in Arlington, Texas, in their preseason finale.
However, the choice appeared to have been made in advance, as Smith received the starter's treatment in the contest. He played only the first offensive series, leading the Seahawks to a field goal while completing half of his six passes for 43 yards.
Carroll noted that Lock saw his chances of winning the starting role diminish when he missed part of the preseason after testing positive for COVID-19.
"He's going to start the opener, and he's earned it, he's won the job," Carroll said of Smith. "With the timeframes, it got messed up for us for Drew, he just ran out of time in making his bid for it. And so yeah, I'm cool about that, so I just want to let you know, so everybody knows, so you don't have to ask me about it anymore.
Lock completed 13 of 24 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown on Friday but was intercepted three times.
"Drew's going to keep on battling because he can play, and he's got all kinds of stuff in him, and I want him to be ready at a moment's call," Carroll said. "And he's going to keep growing and pushing and developing as a fantastic player and I have no problem playing with him, too.
"So, we're fortunate to have two guys who can go, and when he comes off the bench, if he gets his chance he'll be ready to go and try to light it up."
Smith said, "I'm thankful for the opportunity and grateful, but I have a lot of work ahead of me. That was my mindset from the start is getting ready to go out there and win games."
Lock said, "As a competitor, you're always disappointed and I was disappointed. You want to be out there, you want to play with those guys. ... It's my job to have (Smith's) back and be the best teammate I can be."
Smith, 31, is entering his third season with the Seahawks after four years with the New York Jets and one year apiece with the New York Giants and the Los Angeles Chargers. He posted a 1-2 record as a starter last year, putting his career record at 13-21 in starts.
In 45 NFL games overall, Smith has a 58.8 percent completion rate to go with 6,917 passing yards, 34 touchdowns with 37 interceptions.
Lock, 25, joined the Seahawks in the March deal that shipped quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. He owns an 8-13 mark as an NFL starter to go with a 59.3 percent completion rate, 4,740 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and 20 interceptions in 24 games overall.

Federal report boosts plan to remove 4 dams on Calif river
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal regulators on Friday issued a remaining environmental impression assertion that helps the demolition of 4 huge dams on Northern California’s Klamath River to save lots of imperiled migratory salmon.
The workers’s advice, which largely echoes an earlier draft opinion, tees up a vote on the roughly $500 million challenge by the five-member Federal Energy Regulatory Commission later this yr.
The removing of the 4 hydroelectric dams on the decrease Klamath River — one in southern Oregon and three in California — could be the most important dam demolition challenge in U.S. historical past.
The getting older dams close to the Oregon-California border have been constructed earlier than present environmental laws and basically minimize the 253-mile-long (407-kilometer-long) river in half for migrating salmon. Migratory salmon have been hit arduous by warming waters and low river flows attributable to extreme drought and competitors for water with agricultural pursuits.
The challenge on California’s second-largest river could be on the vanguard of a push to demolish dams within the U.S. because the constructions age and turn out to be much less economically viable and as considerations develop about their environmental impression, significantly on fish.
Northern California tribes have been combating for years to take away the dams. They applauded the newest information.
“We can see the light at the end of the dam removal tunnel,” Karuk Chairman Russell ‘Buster’ Attebery mentioned in an announcement. “I am so proud of everyone in our river communities that have worked so hard for the past 20 years to realize our vision of river restoration.”
Coho salmon from the river are listed as threatened underneath federal and California legislation, and their inhabitants has fallen by anyplace from 52% to 95%. Spring chinook salmon, as soon as the Klamath Basin’s largest run, have dwindled by 98%.
Fall chinook, the final to persist in any important numbers, have been so meager previously few years that the Yurok Tribe canceled fishing final yr for the primary time in reminiscence. In 2017, they purchased fish at a grocery retailer for his or her annual salmon competition.
In latest years, as many as 90% of juvenile salmon sampled examined constructive for a illness that thrives when river flows are low.
If the dams remained, energy firm PacifiCorp would possible must spend a whole lot of tens of millions of {dollars} to retrofit the constructions to adjust to as we speak’s environmental legal guidelines. As it’s, the utility has mentioned the electrical energy generated by the dams now not makes up a big a part of its energy portfolio.
The authentic demolition proposal foundered after regulators initially balked at permitting PacifiCorp to fully exit the challenge.
A historic deal reached in 2020 made Oregon and California equal companions within the demolition with a nonprofit entity known as the Klamath River Renewal Corporation, which can oversee the challenge. That deal additionally added $45 million to the challenge’s $450 million price range after considerations that the obtainable funds weren’t sufficient to cowl any overruns.
Oregon, California and PacifiCorp, which operates the hydroelectric dams and is owned by billionaire Warren Buffett’s firm Berkshire Hathaway, every offered one-third of the extra funds.
Some critics have mentioned governors in Oregon and California have been irresponsible to imagine monetary accountability for price overruns and object that a part of the challenge is financed by a voter-approved California water bond.
Some native and state officers fear about flood management and residents who stay round a big reservoir created by one of many dams have unsuccessfully sued to cease the challenge.
The dams that may be demolished are the Iron Gate, Copco 1, Copco 2 and J.C. Boyle, which is in Oregon.

Airlines that best serve passengers with limited mobility

Airlines that best serve passengers with limited mobility
Back view of an airport male employee transporting a disabled female traveler to a plane
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 13% of U.S. adults have mobility disabilities, including significant trouble walking or climbing stairs. These limitations could require the use of mobility aids, such as wheelchairs or scooters, when traveling through airports or boarding flights.
Airline travel can be a challenging experience even at the best of times. Travelers may face flight delays or cancellations, long airport check-in lines or TSA screening lines, congested terminals, and other issues boarding or deplaning flights. These stressors are compounded for passengers with limited mobility, who have additional needs to ensure a safe and pleasant travel experience.
In 1986, passengers with disabilities gained legal protections against discrimination from airlines with the passage of the Air Carrier Access Act. This act ensures travelers with disabilities have equal access to flights, while also requiring airport facilities and airplanes to provide necessary accommodations and properly trained staff. In particular, the act requires airlines to assist passengers who have mobility impairments with boarding and deplaning, including handling their wheelchairs or scooters.
How well do airlines adhere to these guidelines to serve their passengers with mobility limitations? Bounce collected information from the Air Travel Consumer Reports for the first quarter of 2022 to rank airlines based on how often they mishandle wheelchairs and scooters. Information for this analysis was released by the U.S. Department of Transportation using data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
Seventeen airlines were ranked based on the percent of wheelchairs and scooters mishandled. An item is considered mishandled when a customer files a formal complaint after a flight. The total number of wheelchairs and scooters mishandled in the first quarter of 2022 was 2,894 out of 195,965, or about 1.5 wheelchairs per 100 boarded. Numbers displayed are rounded to the first decimal point.
Read on to learn which airlines best serve passengers with limited mobility.

Harsanyi: Biden Isn't 'Forgiving' Loans, He's Unconstitutionally Breaking Contracts
“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” That’s what it says right there in the Constitution.
And yet, without any legislation, President Joe Biden now promises to “cancel” up to $10,000 in student loans per borrower ($20,000 for Pell Grant borrowers), limited to those with annual incomes of less than $125,000.
Let’s start by pointing out that Biden isn’t “canceling” or “forgiving” any student loans. Those are preposterous euphemisms favored by Democrats and the media. The debt in question already exists, it has been lent and spent, and those who borrowed the money of their own volition have already received services. This debt isn’t cancelable.
The president hasn’t “forgiven” loans; he’s unilaterally broken existing contracts and transferred the responsibility of payment to taxpayers — many of whom have either repaid their own student loans or never borrowed any money to begin with. Now, if you’re opposed to repaying some stranger’s loan, that’s too bad. A new batch of IRS agents will be there to ensure that you do.
It should also be stressed that capping loan “forgiveness” to those making under $125,000 means absolutely nothing because most borrowers are at the beginning of their careers and have yet to enjoy the durable benefits of a college degree. The average worker with a bachelor’s degree ends up making, on average, $1 million more in their careers than a worker with a high school diploma. And yet the Biden administration is going to compel truck drivers and clerks without college degrees to pay the loans of white-collar workers on their way to six-figure salaries.
Now, of course, even if the student loan “forgiveness” was a boon for the poor, it would still be completely unconstitutional, a moral hazard, counterproductive and fundamentally unjust. But Biden’s plan — which is going to cost taxpayers around $300 billion, more than all the illusory “savings” that were going to be found in the Inflation Reduction Act — is little more than a vote-buying scheme for affluent millennials.
There already exists a slate of programs that help the poor pay for college — and most schools charge families in the lower economic quintiles less.
According to a new University of Pennsylvania study, “between 69 and 73 percent of the debt forgiven accrues to households in the top 60 percent of the income distribution.” Another Brookings study found that 60 percent of all outstanding school loan debt was taken by families making over $74,000 — with those borrowers making 75 percent of all payments. The lowest-income 40 percent of households “hold just under 20 percent of the outstanding debt and make only 10 percent of the payments.”
By the way, though there is clearly a problem with spiking higher education costs, it’s a myth that most students who graduate with bachelor’s degrees face debilitating debt.
According to Brookings, around 30 percent of undergrads graduate with zero debt, and 25 percent with less than $20,000. Only 6 percent of graduates owe more than $100,000. Half of college debt is held by a quarter of borrowers: those who go to graduate school. Which is to say, Biden is compelling American taxpayers to foot the bill for graduate degrees.
The government’s guaranteeing of student loans was one of the most corrosive policy ideas in recent history. It has incentivized schools to charge outrageous tuitions (Yale and Harvard now basically function as hedge funds with massive endowments), encouraged students to rack up massive debt getting often useless degrees (there’s no bank on earth that would lend a kid $100,000 to get a degree in, say, journalism) and allowed banks to hand out giant loans without concern.
Loan “forgiveness,” which is sure to become an expectation moving forward, only exacerbates all these problems.
Not long ago, Biden admitted he didn’t have the authority to “cancel” student loans by “signing with a pen.” Now his administration is rationalizing this power grab on the feeble idea that we are in a national emergency over COVID.
Part of me suspects that the administration understands that the president can’t “forgive” debt, and that the effort will be stymied by any court that adheres to the Constitution. Democrats likely see the issue as a cudgel they can use to further delegitimize the Supreme Court and hit Republicans as opposing aid to the “middle class.”
There is no norm this administration isn’t willing to cynically destroy for political power.

Fluminense announced this afternoon (26) that it will break with one of the franchised schools of the ‘Guerreirinhos Project’. The club’s decision came because of the publication of a video on the networks where students sing the song in allusion to Flamengo’s 1981 world title.
In the publication, one of the children attended by the school asks ‘go, 81’. Then the other boys start singing the song. “In December 1981, he put the English in the wheel. 3 to 0 at Liverpool, it was marked in history. And in Rio there is no other, only Flamengo is world champion. And now its people ask for the world again. Give him, give him, give him, Mengo! On top of them, Flamengo!”.
In the end, it is still possible to hear the voice of someone who does not appear in the footage saying: “that’s it, Mengão”.
In the official note released by Tricolor, Flu reinforces that it has already notified about the termination and that it maintains strict rules regarding the ban on this type of demonstration. The team also reinforced that the children are not from the base of the team, which is in Xerém.
Check out the official club note and video
Fluminense became aware, this morning, of the image of one of its schools franchised by the Guerreirinhos Project, with children singing songs from a rival club. The club has contacted its Legal Department and has already notified the licensee of the termination of the contract. Fluminense emphasizes that it maintains strict rules regarding the prohibition of this type of manifestation and also the preservation of its brand. He also emphasizes that the children assisted by the project do not belong to the club’s base, in Xerém. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/27/flu-breaks-up-with-little-school-after-video-with-boys-singing-fla-song/ | 2022-08-27T08:19:25Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/27/flu-breaks-up-with-little-school-after-video-with-boys-singing-fla-song/ | true | 2 |

Man `very happy´ with houseboat move as energy costs hit land-dwellers
A Londoner who decided to escape soaring rent prices by moving into a houseboat said he is “very happy with my decision” amid rising energy costs for land-dwellers.
Martin Walsh, 25, moved in to a houseboat on the River Lee and the Regent’s Canal in 2021, as he could not find affordable accommodation on land in London.
He told the PA news agency: “The rental economy last year was just crazy, to secure a place to live many were paying way above what places were worth.
“My options were either take out a loan for a houseboat, live in the middle of nowhere or live in a box room in a flat in London.”
Mr Walsh decided to risk moving into a boat called China Rose, a 50ft narrowboat built in 1987.
(Amyrose Enskat)
He said: “As bills have exploded for the average person, I am very happy with my decision to move onto the water.”
With the newly announced price cap, Londoners are facing even higher costs.
Mr Walsh said: “I find the rise extremely concerning for the land-dwellers but I am largely metaphorically insulated from it.
“My gas canisters used for cooking have increased in price, but not too significantly. As more countries are burning coal and some factories have delayed closing the demand has obviously increased.
“All in all, I expect my winter bills to go from £60 a month to £120 maybe. I will probably burn more wood than usual to try and get around the price rises.”
Mr Walsh, a production designer, pays £1,000 a year to live on the canals and rivers but has to move every two weeks.
He said: “I moved on to the boat to save money, the mooring fees in London are absolutely crazy, so to pay for permanent mooring would negate any money saving.”
Mr Walsh pays £500 a month in repayments on a loan he took out to pay for the boat, and while he is pleased with his decision to take to the water, he warned that upkeep can cost a lot more than for a regular house or flat.
(Alys Bowen)
“Although things can go wrong in a house, things can really go wrong in a boat,” he said.
“There is maintenance, unexpected costs and a lot of upkeep that you have to keep on top of, or you can face a bill of several thousand pounds.
“Boats are a lot of work, and you do need to have a bit of common sense, to ensure that your boat doesn’t sink.”
While many others are struggling to afford their rent and bills, Mr Walsh considers himself lucky.
He said: “Whilst the cost of living does still affect me through food and other consumables, I am greatly insulated from heating costs, as my heating is from coal and wood fires normally.
“Diesel for the engine as well is a fairly insignificant cost, and it may be over a year between filling up, as I travel relatively short distances.”
He aims to live on the boat for the next four to seven years, before selling the boat and moving ashore – he hopes the sale will give him enough money for a deposit.
He said: “I never looked back and thought I maybe made the wrong decision.
“But sometimes a washing machine and a bit more space would go down a treat. I did not move on to the boat for lifestyle, it was more for necessity.” | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11151661/Man-happy-houseboat-energy-costs-hit-land-dwellers.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-27T08:28:40Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11151661/Man-happy-houseboat-energy-costs-hit-land-dwellers.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 8 |

Apple has been beleaguered worldwide by antitrust accusations. Now, it seems the Cupertino-based tech giant may be facing yet another antitrust case, this time in the US. People familiar with the matter recently revealed the U.S. Justice Department is in the early stages of drafting such a complaint.
Battling Over Whether Apple’s App Store Violates Antitrust Regulations
The latest potential case comes at what may be the end of a long-running investigation into Apple’s business practices. At the heart of the issue is the fact that Apple only allows software vetted through its own App Store installed on iPhone and iPad devices.
Not only that, but Apple has historically only allowed payment for such apps and related services through its own network. While that’s opened up somewhat, for so-called “reader” apps such as Netflix and Kindle, the lock-in to Apple’s payment processor is a sticking point for many.
It’s all come down to prosecutors within the U.S. Department of Justice working to put together all of the pieces for an antitrust lawsuit. A person with direct knowledge of the investigation’s progress told Politico the lawyers are nearing a decision on whether or not to actually prosecute.
Tile Looks to Enter the Arena in Latest Antitrust Case
While past antitrust accusations have focused mainly on Apple’s App Store and Apple Pay, this one has a slightly different flavor to it. In this case, the DOJ appears to be focusing heavily on public complaints by Tile, one of the first companies to make devices used to track and find lost items.
Apple’s AirTag has proven much more successful than Tile’s, despite all the negative publicity caused by abuse of the technology. In part because of that, and also because of Apple’s decision to allow users more flexibility in limiting access to location data, Tile is unhappy.
In various public complaints and even congressional hearings (PDF), Tile has claimed that Cupertino is making it more difficult for the company’s devices to access the location data needed to be effective. Also at issue is the limits Apple places on accessing some hardware components in the iPhone.
Tile has thus far declined to comment on the brewing potential for an antitrust suit, as has Apple. While a federal judge did recently rule that Apple should open its ecosystem to third-party payment systems, the same judge also stated Cupertino is not, legally, a monopolist.
We’ll have to keep a closer eye on this situation, if the DOJ does opt to prosecute Apple for antitrust violations. | https://www.macobserver.com/news/apple-may-soon-face-fresh-antitrust-case-in-us/?utm_source=macobserver&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_everything | 2022-08-27T08:39:37Z | https://www.macobserver.com/news/apple-may-soon-face-fresh-antitrust-case-in-us/?utm_source=macobserver&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_everything | true | 2 |
NASA's new 3D sky-mapping space telescope gets a custom test chamber
The customized chamber will prepare the SPHEREx space telewscope's sensitive infrared optics for deep views of universe.
A custom-built test chamber for a new NASA space telescope has arrived at Caltech in Pasadena to help ready the spacecraft for launch in 2025.
The Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer, or SPHEREx telescope, is designed to create a unique, 3D map of the entire sky. The survey will map 100 million stars in the Milky Way as well as out galaxies, star-forming regions, and other cosmic phenomena.
SPHEREx will carry a wide-field telescope that will allow it to detect infrared light to map objects but also collect valuable data on their composition and age.
Both telescopes' ability to observe the sky in the infrared will allow them to search for the telltale spectral signs of water and organic molecules.
"SPHEREx uses its unique all-sky spectral map to survey for icy biogenic molecules in regions where stars are being born, chart the cosmic history of galaxy formation, and search for the signatures of the Big Bang in the 3-D distribution of distant galaxies," SPHEREx principal investigator Jamie Bock, a professor of physics at Caltech, said in a statement (opens in new tab).
But in order to prepare SPHEREx and its sensitive instruments for the harsh environment of space, a customized, cylindrical chamber about the size of a small SUV has been built by the Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI).
The chamber spent a month crossing the Pacific Ocean on a ship before arriving in California.
Once ready the telescope is set to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket no earlier than April 2025. Three other missions, including another NASA mission, PUNCH, which will study the solar wind, will be along for the ride.
The analysis of the SPHEREx data will be conducted by a team of scientists located at 10 institutions across the U.S. and mission partners in South Korea.. The SPHEREx dataset will be made publicly available.

- Liverpool still winless in the league
- Klopp may sign a midfielder
- Manager owns up to mistake
WHAT HAPPENED? The Liverpool boss also hinted that he may consider signing a new midfielder and the right player will be chosen as per the need of the team.
WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to reporters ahead of their clash against Bournemouth, Klopp said, "I know we have had this discussion since it all started and I am the one who said we don’t need a midfielder and I was wrong. That’s the situation.
“But the specific point doesn’t change – we will do something but it has to be the right one. We will see.”THE BIGGER PICTURE: Liverpool have had a poor start to their campaign in the Premier League as they are yet to win a game in the top flight. After the first three matches, the Reds have picked up just two points and are currently placed in the bottom half of the league.
They are also plagued with multiple injuries as important midfielders including Thiago and Naby Keita are currently sidelined due to knocks.
IN THREE PHOTOS:
WHAT NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL? The Reds will be looking - and expecting - to return to winning ways this weekend when they entertain Bournemouth at Anfield. | https://www.goal.com/en-my/news/i-was-wrong-klopp-admits-liverpool-need-a-midfielder/blt68334f3482066151 | 2022-08-27T08:49:35Z | https://www.goal.com/en-my/news/i-was-wrong-klopp-admits-liverpool-need-a-midfielder/blt68334f3482066151 | true | 10 |
The first look at the probable pitchers for this series painted quite the mismatch. Lance McCullers, Jose Urquidy and Justin Verlander appeared to have the upper hand against Baltimore, but the Orioles have shown all year that they are full of surprises.
Baltimore flipped the script with a dominant pitching performance by Kyle Bradish. Ramón Urías made the difference with a two-run home run, and the Orioles blanked the Astros 2-0 in the first of a three-game set in Houston.
Kyle Bradish flashed potential early this year before right-shoulder inflammation derailed his rookie season. Bradish delivered four acceptable starts after returning from the IL in early August, but the rookie took things to another level tonight.
Bradish turned in eight scoreless innings in what should easily be considered the best start of his young career. The rookie limited Houston to just two hits and a pair of walks. Bradish struck out six and threw 67 of 96 pitches for strikes.
Bradish located well, kept his pitch count down, and used both the changeup and slider to keep Houston off balance. The righty did not press after Baltimore failed to provide any run support early on, and he saved the bullpen after an 11-inning game last night.
Brandon Hyde displayed plenty of confidence in Bradish when he sent him back out for the eighth inning. Bradish made quick work of Mauricio Dubon, a pinch-hitting Christian Vazquez and Jose Altuve to become the first Orioles starter to complete eight innings this season.
Tonight marked the first game that a Baltimore pitcher threw eight full innings since John Means tossed a no-hitter last May.
Orioles’ closer Félix Bautista was not available after completing a career-high two innings last night. Hyde turned to Cionel Pérez to close out the ninth, and Houston doubled its hit total with a pair of one-out singles by Yordan Alvarez and Alex Bregman.
Pérez generated a fly ball from Kyle Tucker to record the second out before Trey Mancini stepped into the box representing the winning run in the bottom of the ninth.
Mancini needs no introduction around here. He’s an all time fan favorite and a future Orioles’ Hall of Famer. It’s great to see him experiencing immediate success with Houston, but the Birds needed a break tonight.
Hyde summoned Dillon Tate for the matchup, and Tate rose to the occasion. Tate needed only three pitches to strike out his former teammate and clinch the win for the Orioles.
The Orioles finally secured the lead after several missed opportunities early in the contest. Baltimore went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position over the first three innings, but they used some two-out lightning in the sixth.
Kyle Stowers poked a single to right field to extend the inning, and Urías followed with a 389-foot shot onto the train tracks at Minute Maid Park. The blast gave Baltimore a two-run lead, and it proved to be all the Birds would need with Bradish on the mound.
Baltimore failed to solve Lance McCullers Jr. through the first five frames. The Astros turned to Cristian Javier in the sixth, and Urías provided him the proper greeting. Houston slotted Javier to provide long relief with McCullers still getting his feet wet after a delayed start to this season.
Tampa Bay and Toronto lost tonight, which brought the Orioles within three games of the top Wild Card spot. The Orioles could finish the night just 1.5 games back of the third spot if Seattle falls to Cleveland later this evening.
Dean Kremer will get the ball tomorrow as the Orioles look to take the series in Houston.

The Yuba County Office of Education announced this week that it will be offering a new medical assistant course through its Adult & Career Technical Education department.
Under the direction of Ken Hamel, Career Technical Education administrator, the cost of the course is $3,500 and students may be eligible for a scholarship and other opportunities for financial aid, officials said.

Moderate Colorado Republican switches parties, citing stolen election claims
Colorado state Sen. Kevin Priola announced on Monday he is switching to the Democratic Party, saying he could not “in good conscience” be silent about Republicans who baselessly cast doubt on the validity of the 2020 election and the existence of climate change.
Priola, a moderate who served four terms in the Colorado House before arriving in the state Senate in 2017, said the GOP has changed since the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, and he had hoped the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol would cause Republicans to distance themselves from former President Trump.
“Our political affiliations have become too tribal and too much of a litmus test,” he wrote in an open letter posted to his Twitter account.
“I’ve almost been an independent thinker and sometimes buck the conventional wisdom of my party, and I don’t plan to change that,” he added. “I do not believe either party has a monopoly on the truth.”
Democrats previously held 20 of the state Senate’s 35 seats, meaning Priola’s party change won’t affect the control of the chamber and will only further cement Democrats’ majority.
But Priola said his ideological views hadn’t shifted, and he continues to hold conservative views on issues such as abortion, school choice and gun control.
“To be clear, I will not be changing the way I vote on legislation,” he wrote. “I just simply will now cast my votes with a D next to my name instead of an R.”
Priola said he no longer wants to be affiliated with the Republican Party after Jan. 6, also commending in his letter Republicans who have broken with Trump’s position on the riots, including former Vice President Pence, Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) and Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (Ill.).
In the wake of the Capitol insurrection, Priola told Colorado Politics that he supported removing Trump from office through the 25th Amendment. He also was the sole Republican to vote with Democrats to call on Congress to pass federal voting rights legislation the same month, Denver7 News reported .
“I cannot continue to be a part of a political party that is okay with a violent attempt to overturn a free and fair election and continues to peddle claims that the 2020 election was stolen,” Priola said.
He also took aim at Republicans’ position on climate change, calling the issue a crisis and an existential threat. Priola noted that Nixon, a Republican, signed legislation as president establishing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
“Today, my Republican colleagues would rather deny the existence of human-caused climate change than take action,” he said. “I increasingly believe this inaction is counter to our responsibility as political leaders.”
Colorado GOP Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown said in a pair of tweets that Priola has “finally made the move to the party he’s consistently voted with.”
“After lying to his constituents, routinely voting for tax increases, & hurting the working families of his district, he’s now admitted his true affiliation: a pro tax-increase Democrat,” she continued. “It’s clear that Priola has selfishly chosen to make himself the story at the expense of Coloradans he was elected to fight for. He will regret this decision when he is in the minority come January 2023.”
Colorado state Senate President Steve Fenberg (D) celebrated Priola’s decision in a statement , saying the lawmaker chose his constituents over partisan politics.
“Where we’ve had disagreements with Senator Priola in the past, we have always maintained a respectful dialogue,” Fenberg said. “That conversation will continue, only now we will be engaging him as a member of the Democratic Party.”

Actually, Greg Weissert got a good night's sleep.
Which might be hard to believe, given what happened hours earlier in his major league debut.
With his immediate family and a few friends having flown cross-country to be there, the New York Yankees reliever hit a pair of Oakland batters with his very first two pitches in the bigs Thursday night.
No pitcher had ever started out that way in the expansion era since 1961, the Elias Sports Bureau said.
Those HBPs were sandwiched around a balk. And after a pair of one-out walks, with his last slider going to the backstop, he was pulled in the seventh inning.
All those years of waiting to make it to a mound in the majors, then that.
"I'm OK," Weissert told The Associated Press on Friday, smiling as he stood in the Yankees clubhouse.
"I sat down and recognized last night, I looked back and saw that I was moving a little fast. I wasn't stepping off and just taking a breath and just kind of taking it all in. I was letting it get on top of me a little bit," the 27-year-old right-hander said. "But I'm anxious to get back out there and kind of right my wrongs and leave a better impression on everybody the next time."
Later, back in his hotel room, Weissert pondered his night: "Just kind of replaying it in my head saying like, 'What happened out there?'"
"I was obviously a little nervous with the anticipation of everything building up and all the years in the minor leagues, seven years, and the long inning right before, the whole buildup of it," he said. "I didn't take a moment to just step back and kind of realize where I was and take it all in."
Weissert was summoned with the Yankees leading 13-1. From the first pitch he threw, it was pretty painful to watch — and painful for Oakland hitters, too.
Weissert plunked Jonah Bride with his first offering. Then he balked. After that he nailed Skye Bolt with his second pitch, prompting the A's hitter to slam down his bat. Bolt went on the 10-day injured list Friday with a partially dislocated patella tendon in his right knee.
It didn't get much better for the Yankees new right-hander wearing No. 85 despite a visit from the pitching coach.
Following the two walks, Weissert was done. Manager Aaron Boone came out to get him and Weissert made the exceedingly long trudge from the mound to the dugout at the Coliseum.
Even the Oakland side felt for Weissert.
"It was the perfect spot for the young man to make his debut," A's manager Mark Kotsay said Friday. "You never know how guys are going to respond. He's been having a great Triple-A season and he gets his first opportunity to leave an impression and it just didn't go well. But at the end of the day, when a guy comes into a game and hits two batters, it's highly, highly unlikely it was done with any intent."
Weissert was charged with three runs as the AL East-leading Yankees coasted to a 13-4 win.
At least he's now a big leaguer forever. And it took only two pitches to get into the all-time record book.
"Only up from here," Boone said after the game. "That's a rough one. I think it sped up on him. He acknowledged that."
Disconsolate after his wild outing, Weissert banged his glove on the bench and took a seat all by himself at the end of the dugout, looking down.
He wasn't alone for long.
One by one, his teammates started to wander over to offer words and taps of encouragement. Pitcher Domingo German, coach Luis Rojas and his catcher, All-Star Jose Trevino, along with former Triple-A pitching teammate Clarke Schmidt.
By the end of the inning, slugger Aaron Judge was sitting next Weissert, getting the rookie to relax.
All that support from his teammates meant the world. Weissert then met up with his parents Friday morning. His wife was also in the stands, along with a brother and sister and their families. A few friends, too, in his own personal rooting section of about 10.
As he shagged flyballs during batting practice before Friday night's game against the Athletics, he looked a lot more relaxed.
The Yankees still believe in him.
"That was really good to hear after that situation that happened out there that everybody was still supportive and trying to give me good advice and encouraging words," Weissert said.
Picked by the Yankees in the 18th round of the 2016 draft out of Fordham in the Bronx, the Long Island product finally earned his big chance Thursday after All-Star starter Nestor Cortes went on the injured list.
With a fastball in the mid-90s mph and a slider with a lot of movement, Weissert had excelled at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season — notching a 1.76 ERA in 40 games, with 67 strikeouts in 46 innings.
Boone praised him before the game, saying, "he's going to get some opportunities. He'll be in the mix, we really like him."
Of Weissert's 15 pitches, only five were strikes. He was charged with three runs, leaving him with an 81.00 ERA for now.
Boone said Weissert will be out on the mound again.
"Look, it doesn't change what we think about him," Boone said. "Get that one out of the way."
Weissert will be ready.
"Fresh start today," he said. "I'm all right. I'm not too worried about it. I'm glad that first one's out of the way. It can't get much worse than that." | https://www.anews.com.tr/sport/2022/08/27/yankees-weissert-ok-after-hbps-on-1st-2-pitches-in-debut | 2022-08-27T09:27:35Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/sport/2022/08/27/yankees-weissert-ok-after-hbps-on-1st-2-pitches-in-debut | false | 3 |
Auckland 35
Otago 17
Auckland have shaken off last week's shock loss to teach Otago a lesson about defensive mettle and attacking opportunism at Eden Park.
Both teams came into the game with three wins from four - after Auckland had been upset by Bay of Plenty at the same ground - but that's where the similarities ended.
Otago spent almost three times as long in the opposition 22 yet failed throughout to convert that threat into points. Auckland, conversely, ran in five tries while appearing constantly dangerous - and content - on the counter attack.

The southern side broke through only when facing 13 men late in the game, but the outcome had long been determined as Auckland recovered from their setback against the Steamers to confirm their status as contenders.
"We weren't happy last week," captain Harry Plummer told Sky Sport. "It was a bit of a soul-searching week and the boys responded, and tonight for 70 minutes of the game we played well."
Otago might have been able to make a comparable claim, but their lack of a clinical edge was always evident. With half an hour gone they had enjoyed more than two-thirds possession and territory yet found themselves 14-0 behind.
Setting a pattern for what was to follow, Blake Gibson finished off a length-of-the-field try after an Otago error in the third minute, before AJ Lam capitalised on another mistake to race away 45m for Auckland's second.
The hosts' supremacy at the scrum produced their third, as a succession of penalties on the stroke of halftime saw referee Cam Stone award a penalty try and complete a miserable first half for Otago.
It took the visitors only a few minutes to make the second spell more productive, with Freedom Vahaakolo crossing in the corner, but that would prove a rare highlight as Auckland continued to thrive on little ball.
Their superior athleticism was illustrated as Salesi Rayasi spied a hole and strode straight through before, contributing again to their own demise, Otago coughed up possession in opposition territory as Jordan Trainor completed another long-range raid to seal victory.

JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming (AP) — Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered a stark warning Friday about the Fed’s determination to fight inflation with more sharp interest rate hikes: It will likely cause pain for Americans in the form of a weaker economy and job losses.
The message landed with a thud on Wall Street, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 1,000 points for the day.
“These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation,” Powell said in a high-profile speech at the Fed’s annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole. “But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.”
Investors had been hoping for a signal from Powell that the Fed might soon moderate its rate increases later this year if inflation were to show further signs of easing. But the Fed chair indicated that that time may not be near, and stocks tumbled in response.
Runaway price increases have soured most Americans on the economy, even as the unemployment rate has fallen to a half-century low of 3.5%. It has also created political risks for President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats in this fall’s elections, with Republicans denouncing Biden’s $1.9 trillion financial support package, approved last year, as having fueled inflation.
The Dow Jones average finished down 3% on Friday, its worst day in three months. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite shed nearly 4%. Shorter-term Treasury yields climbed as traders built up bets for the Fed to stay aggressive with rates.
Some on Wall Street expect the economy to fall into recession later this year or early next year, after which they expect the Fed to reverse itself and reduce rates.
A number of Fed officials, though, have pushed back against that notion. Powell’s remarks suggested that the Fed is aiming to raise its benchmark rate — to about 3.75% to 4% by next year — yet not so high as to tank the economy, in hopes of slowing growth long enough to conquer high inflation.
“The idea they are trying to hammer into the market’s head is that their approach makes a rapid pivot to (rate cuts) unlikely,” said Eric Winograd, an economist at asset manager AllianceBernstein. “They are going to stay tight even when it hurts.”
After raising its key short-term rate by a steep three-quarters of a point at each of its past two meetings — part of the Fed’s fastest series of hikes since the early 1980s — Powell said the Fed might ease up on that pace “at some point,” suggesting that any such slowing isn’t near.
Powell said the size of the Fed’s rate increase at its next meeting in late September — whether one-half or three-quarters of a percentage point — will depend on inflation and jobs data. An increase of either size, though, would exceed the Fed’s traditional quarter-point hike, a reflection of how severe inflation has become.
The Fed chair said that while lower inflation readings that have been reported for July have been “welcome,” he added that, “a single month’s improvement falls far short of what (Fed policymakers) will need to see before we are confident that inflation is moving down.”
On Friday, an inflation gauge that is closely monitored by the Fed showed that prices actually declined 0.1% from June to July. Though prices did jump 6.3% in July from 12 months earlier, that was down from a 6.8% year-over-year jump in June, which had been the highest since 1982. The drop largely reflected lower gas prices.
In his speech Friday, Powell noted that the history of high inflation in the 1970s, when the central bank sought to counter high prices with only intermittent rate hikes, shows that the Fed must stay focused.
“The historical record cautions strongly against prematurely” lowering interest rates, he said. “We must keep at it until the job is done.”
What particularly worries Powell and other Fed officials is the prospect that inflation would become entrenched, leading consumers and businesses to change their behavior in ways that would perpetuate higher prices. If, for example, workers began demanding higher pay to match higher inflation, many employers would then pass on those higher labor costs to consumers in the form of higher prices.
Many analysts speculate that Fed officials want to see roughly six months or so of lower monthly inflation readings, similar to July’s, before stopping their rate hikes.
Powell’s speech was the marquee event of the the Fed’s annual economic symposium at Jackson Hole, the first time the conference of central bankers is being held in person since 2019, after it went virtual for two years during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since March, the Fed has implemented its fastest pace of rate increases in decades to try to curb inflation, which has punished households with soaring costs for food, gas, rent and other necessities. The central bank has lifted its benchmark rate by 2 full percentage points in just four meetings, to a range of 2.25% to 2.5%.
Those hikes have led to higher costs for mortgages, car loans and other consumer and business borrowing. Home sales have been plunging since the Fed first signaled it would raise borrowing costs.
In June, the Fed’s policymakers signaled that they expected their key rate to end 2022 in a range of 3.25% to 3.5% and then to rise further next year to between 3.75% and 4%. If rates reached their projected level at the end of this year, they would be at the highest point since 2008.
Powell is betting that he can engineer a high-risk outcome: Slow the economy enough to ease inflation pressures yet not so much as to trigger a recession.
His task has been complicated by the economy’s cloudy picture: On Thursday, the government said the economy shrank at a 0.6% annual rate in the April-June period, the second straight quarter of contraction. Yet employers are still hiring rapidly, and the number of people seeking unemployment aid, a measure of layoffs, remains relatively low.
At its meeting in July, Fed policymakers expressed two competing concerns that highlighted their delicate task.
According to minutes from that meeting, the officials — who aren’t identified by name — have prioritized their inflation fight. Still, some officials said there was a risk that the Fed would raise borrowing costs more than necessary, risking a recession. If inflation were to fall closer to the Fed’s 2% target and the economy weakened further, those diverging views could become hard to reconcile.
At last year’s Jackson Hole symposium, Powell listed five reasons why he thought inflation would be “transitory.” Yet instead it has persisted, and many economists have noted that those remarks haven’t aged well.
Powell indirectly acknowledged that history at the outset of his remarks Friday, when he said that, “at past Jackson Hole conferences, I have discussed broad topics such as the ever-changing structure of the economy and the challenges of conducting monetary policy.”
“Today,” he said, “my remarks will be shorter, my focus narrower and my message more direct.” | https://www.outlookindia.com/business/jerome-powell-fed-s-inflation-fight-could-bring-pain-job-losses-news-219249 | 2022-08-27T09:32:21Z | https://www.outlookindia.com/business/jerome-powell-fed-s-inflation-fight-could-bring-pain-job-losses-news-219249 | true | 31 |
