I’ve had the pleasure of testing literally hundreds of electric bicycles over the past few years. I’ve seen everything from bargain basement models to several ultra high-end electric bikes with cutting edge materials and advanced production processes.
Sometimes the cheapest electric bikes leaving you wanting more while the super expensive e-bikes offer more than the average rider can afford. As usual, the sweet spot is usually somewhere in the middle. Here’s a list of what I consider to be the best quality electric bikes I’ve tested on the market today that still slip in under the coveted $1,000 mark.
Rad Power Bikes RadMission
The Rad Power Bikes RadMission is the epitome of a no-frills urban electric bike. It offers (almost) everything you need and nothing you don’t.
From the 500W motor to the 500Wh battery, the performance specs are plenty for average riders looking for a 20 mph (32 km/h) electric bike.
The city-oriented e-bike may lack a few fancier options like suspension or an LCD screen, but it’s well made and gets you in the door with the support and peace of mind of the largest electric bike company in the US.
It even comes in two frame styles, mid-step and high-step. I’m a fan of the mid-step, partly because it’s more comfortable to mount and partly because I think that orange color (which only comes on the mid-step) is the best one of the bunch.
While the RadMission is often priced at around $1,200, it’s currently on sale for an impressive $899.
At that price, it’s a steal of a deal. Don’t dawdle though, as that sale looks set to end soon.
Check out my full review if you want to get all the nitty-gritty details on this awesome model.
Or take a gander at my short review video below for a quick dive into this popular model.
Lectric XP Lite
If the RadMission above is more bike than you’re after, then the Lectric XP Lite might be a better fit. This folding bike can origami itself into a much smaller package, fitting in the trunk of your car or the back of your closet.
It still offers great commuter specs though, such as a peak power output of 720W and a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h).
It even comes with built-in LED lights, though it lacks features like fenders or a rear rack, which must be added as optional accessories.
Even so, the $799 price makes up for the limited included accessories, and makes this a great deal for a solid folding electric bike that combines good power output with modest range.
Definitely take a look at my first ride experience on this e-bike to see what makes it such a potent yet affordable commuter e-bike.
Lectric XP 2.0
For those that still want a folding electric bike but need more power and speed, upgrading from the Lectric XP Lite to the Lectric XP 2.0 is the way to go.
This fat tire folding e-bike offers a 750W motor that peaks even higher, has a larger battery, and perhaps most critically: hits class 3 speed of up to 28 mph (45 km/h).
You’ll pay for that higher performance in extra weight (and in extra dollars, since the price is $999), but you get a lot more too. You even receive an included rear rack and full metal fenders, which are often up-charge accessories on most e-bikes.
Lectric eBikes recently launched a new, larger battery pack that bumps the capacity from 460Wh to 672Wh, but that also bumps the price up by a couple hundred bucks. It’s worth it, in my humble opinion. But if you stick with the stock battery, you can keep the price under $1,000.
See my review of the Lectric XP 2.0 to get a sense of what this e-bike can do.
JackRabbit
This one is a bit out there, but stick with me. The JackRabbit is something of a hybrid between an e-bike and an e-scooter.
It has 20″ bicycle wheels and stubby bicycle handlebars that help it ride like a bike. But the shorter wheel base makes it feel a bit more scooter-ish.
And of course the lack of pedals is another notch in the scooter column.
It may not have a very big battery, boasting just 10-12 miles of range (16-20 km). But it can still get up to a sprightly 20 mph (32 km/h), which makes it great for city commuting. It also weighs a mere 25 lb (11 kg), and is easy to pick up and toss in the back of a car or carry onto a subway train.
It’s an ideal solution if you’re on the hunt for something small and convenient for a short city commute, and need an e-bike that takes up a very small portion of your apartment or garage.
At $999, its pricer per watt or per mile, but it’s also the lightest and most convenient model on this list.
See my review to learn more about the JackRabbit, or watch my video below to get a sense of this odd-yet-awesome model’s proportions.
Propella Mini
Propella’s smallest electric bike, which features 20″ wheels and a minimalist frame, weighs in at a mere 33 lb (15 kg).
It features a single speed drivetrain, so don’t expect to turn this into a San Francisco hill climber, but the smaller wheels actually offer better torque and help it handle climbs better than you’d think.
The 400W peak-rated Bafang motor gives it some real oomph up to its top speed of 18 mph (30 km/h), and the 250Wh battery offers a range of 15-25 miles (25-56 km).
That’s some great performance for an e-bike that is currently on sale for $849!
There’s no throttle, making this a pedal-friendly electric bike. If you’re not in the market for a Class 1 e-bike that requires pedaling, you should look elsewhere. But if you’re into doing a bit of the work yourself, the Propella Mini is an awesome option for a lightweight and effective urban commuter e-bike.
For more info, check out my full review of the Propella Mini.
Ride1Up Roadster V2
I know that this list is supposed to be only sub-$1,000 electric bikes, but I hope you’ll forgive me for including the Ride1Up Roadster V2. It starts at just $1,045 (though goes up to $1,095 for most color options and frame sizes). At that price though, it is a highly effective commuter e-bike with some serious bang for your buck.
Not only is this the only belt-drive e-bike on the list, but it’s also the only one that can hit 25 mph (40 km/h) without surpassing 33 lb (15 kg).
The rim brakes might seem old school, but having tested the bike myself, I can confirm that they’re high quality and bring the bike to a quick stop. And you can always upgrade to the Gravel version of the bike if you want true disc brakes.
With 500W of peak-rated power in a lightweight urban e-bike setup, the Ride1Up Roadster is definitely worth a look if you’re in the market for a Class 3 e-bike without a throttle.

Tokyo: Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty capped off a memorable campaign with a historic bronze medal in the men's doubles competition of the World Championships after going down narrowly to Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the semifinals here on Saturday.
The world No. 7 Indian pair, which had claimed the Commonwealth Games (CWG) men's doubles gold early this month, flattered to deceive as it squandered an opening game advantage to go down 22-20, 18-21, 16-21 to the Olympic bronze medallists in a pulsating 77-minute clash, bringing an end to the Indian challenge.
It was the sixth successive defeat against the world No. 6 pair for Satwik and Chirag, who had lost to the same combination at the CWG mixed team final early this month.
Despite the loss, it was a creditable show by Satwik and Chirag, who emerged as the first Indian pair to win a men's doubles medal at the showpiece.
It also ensured that India continued to return with a medal from the World Championships since 2011, the year the country won its first doubles medal with the women's pair of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa clinching a bronze.
In the semifinal clash, Chirag looked a bit off-colour with his serve and defence, while Satwik tried his best to make up for it but in the end the Malaysians proved to be a tad faster and more subtle in their strokeplay in a match that went down to the wire.
Coming into the match with a 0-5 head-to-head record, the Indians showed alertness and didn't allow their opponents to play their natural game. They used the smashes judiciously to quickly move to an 11-5 lead at the interval.
Leading 11-7, Satwik showed great defence in a fast-paced rally which ended with the Malaysian hitting long.
The Malaysians made a comeback after the break, closing in at 11-12 with the Indians missing their mark a few times.
They soon drew level at 16-16 with Soh unleashing a powerful smash and then grabbed a 18-17 lead.
However, Satwik and Chirag moved back to lead at 19-18 with Aaron sending one to net and then Chirag pouncing on an opportunity.
Another attacking rally put India one point away but Chirag faltered in a net shot as it was 20-20. Chirag earned another game point and this time Aaron missed the line to hand over the opening game to the Indians.
After the change of sides, Aaron and Soh emerged as the better players as Chirag looked a little subdued. The Indians still managed to keep breathing down their opponent's neck before an error from Chirag gave a slender one-point advantage to the Malaysians at the break.
Chirag found the net twice, while another one went long as Malaysia established a decisive 16-11 lead. A solid service return from Soh gave them three game points.
They squandered one but with Chirag losing his racquet string, Satwik couldn't negotiate the Malaysian attack as the match was levelled 1-1.
The decider was a tight affair as Satwik and Chirag tried to attack Soh but with Chirag going wide the Malaysian led 5-3 at one stage.
A push and block strategy from Satwik saw the Indians manage a 6-5 lead as Chirag was all charged up.
However, the Malaysian pair eked out a 10-8 lead before taking a one-point cushion in the final mid-game interval.
Aaron and Soh dominated the fast-paced rallies after the break to lead 13-11 but Satwik unleashed his trademark booming smash to keep it close.
Chirag produced a backhand whip near the net to make it 13-14 before a misjudgement from Soh at the baseline saw the Indians keep the equation to 15-16.
However, the Malaysians soon pulled away and once Chirag put another one at the net, Aaron and Soh had four match points.
A return to serve going to net from Satwik ended the contest. | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/other-sports/2022/08/27/bwf-world-championships-atwiksairaj-rankireddy-chirag-shetty-end-up-with-bronze.html | 2022-08-27T09:39:51Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/other-sports/2022/08/27/bwf-world-championships-atwiksairaj-rankireddy-chirag-shetty-end-up-with-bronze.html | true | 10 |
According to reports, investigators in Italy have uncovered a Russian spy who allegedly ‘charmed her way into NATO circles.’
A woman named Maria Adela Kuhfeldt Rivera, according to researchers from Bellingcat, a Dutch investigative journalism organisation that specialises in fact-checking and open-source intelligence, pretended to be a Latin American jewellery designer, travelled the world as a Peruvian socialite, and made friends in the NATO offices in Naples while working as a deep-cover spy.
The detectives labelled the woman as a ‘GRU unlawful.’
Between 2009 and 2011, ‘Maria Adela,’ who allegedly had a German father, is said to have visited Malta and Rome and attempted to apply for a German passport. She got a Russian passport, according to the investigators, in 2006.
Additionally, ‘Maria Adela’ is said to have wed an Italian. The man, according to the investigators, was born in Moscow and was a citizen of both Russia and Ecuador. According to reports, the man passed away in 2013.
According to reports, the woman’s mother abandoned her in the former Soviet Union in 1980 while she was travelling there to attend the Olympics.
The mother supposedly left for Peru and never came back. A Russian family that had become friends with her mother adopted her. Maria alleged that she was maltreated by her adoptive parents when she was a child. | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/08/27/investigators-believe-that-a-russian-deep-cover-spy-interacted-openly-with-nato-officials-in-naples.html | 2022-08-27T09:39:53Z | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/08/27/investigators-believe-that-a-russian-deep-cover-spy-interacted-openly-with-nato-officials-in-naples.html | false | 1 |

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Authorities transferred some 400 asylum-seekers away from a makeshift camp outside an overcrowded migrant reception center in the northeastern Netherlands after a damning report called the site where hundreds of people were sleeping rough a health hazard.
Leon Veldt, a spokesman for the government's asylum-seeker accommodation organization, said Saturday that the migrants were moved overnight to alternative accommodations in other locations.
The move came after a team from the Inspectorate for Health Care and Youth visited the squalid, temporary camp in the village of Ter Apel and said there was “a serious risk of outbreaks of infectious diseases as a result of the total lack of hygiene.”
A day earlier, 150 people were transferred to two sports halls in a central city in a bid to alleviate the crisis that has seen some 700 people sleeping outside the packed center this week. Refugee advocates likened the situation to overcrowded camps in Greece and Italy, which are common first destinations of Europe-bound asylum-seekers.
A 3-month-old baby died this week in a sports hall at the Ter Apel center, and authorities are investigating the cause of death. Two men were taken to the hospital, one for a heart attack and another for diabetes that had gone untreated for weeks.
The conditions were so bad that the Dutch branch of Doctors Without Borders sent a team there on Thursday, the relief agency's first deployment in the Netherlands.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Friday he was ashamed of the scenes in Ter Apel, On Friday night, Rutte's government announced a raft of measures aimed at easing the country's asylum-seeker accommodation crisis.
They include temporarily reining in refugee family reunions and the number of arriving migrants earmarked for the Netherlands under a 2016 deal between the European Union and Turkey.
The government said it also was working with local municipalities to create more homes for people who receive refugee status so they can more quickly move out of asylum-seeker centers, freeing up space for new arrivals.
The Dutch military was tasked with setting up a new camp to house people who are waiting to register asylum claims at the Ter Apel center.
Milo Schoenmaker, the board chairman of the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers, welcomed the moves, saying: “With the measures that have been announced, the application center in Ter Apel can hopefully be relieved quickly. At the same time, there are still insufficient available places to accommodate everyone.”
While many Dutch towns and cities have offered places to stay to Ukrainians who fled the war in their country, the welcome has worn thin for asylum-seekers from other countries. Most people arriving in Ter Apel are Syrians fleeing their nation’s grinding civil war.

Drew Barrymore is marked as racist for posting innocent video of herself frolicking in the rain
Drew Barrymore charged with racism after posting innocent video of herself enjoying the rain…
- Actress Drew Barrymore has been accused of racist behavior after posting a video of her laughing and walking in the rain
- Barrymore encourages people to get out in the rain more in her video, but another TikTok user said she’s trying to ‘fire’ black creators
- The user accused Barrymore of stealing a May trend featuring black men merrily roaming fields

Drew Barrymore was branded racist over a TikTok clip of herself enjoying a downpour — after wake-up killjoys claimed she had copied a trend called “black men frolicking.”
The accusation comes from an angry fellow TikTok user with the handle @amushroomblackly.
She said Barrymore was an example of a colonizer “who disrespects and rejects the boundaries set by black creators” because the video resembled a “struggling” trend started by black TikTokers earlier this year.
In Barrymore’s video posted to her 6.5 million followers, she walks around cheering in the pouring rain with a big smile, exclaiming ‘when you can, get out in the rain! Don’t miss this opportunity.’
Shortly after the actress posted her video, amushroomblackly posted a bizarre response addressing Barrymore directly, saying, “You and I both know you’re able to enjoy the rain, frolic freely, without filming it and on TikTok.” to post.’
She went even further, saying that Barrymore is “complicated to people who are just doing their best to disrespect and reject the boundaries set by black creators”
In Barrymore’s TikTok video, she walks outside a house in the rain joyfully encouraging people to get outside and feel the rain whenever they can
She takes off her glasses and lets the rain fall on her face, but an angry TikToker has accused her actions of being racist
“And now you’re one of those people,” she said, pointing to the camera in a video posted to Libs or TikTok’s Twitter accounts.
TikToker’s fury stems from a trend that started in May in which black men merrily roamed fields or other natural settings, with the trend quickly catching on and going viral.
“I think my question would be, why is it so important for all of you to treat us like we don’t matter?” Barrymore’s accuser said before laughing and clipping the video.
In what is believed to be the video that started the trend, posted in May by TikTok user @thexsadxoptimistic, he is seen running across a field laughing and yelling “oh my gosh, I’m running through a field frolicking!”
More black TikTok users joined and the hashtag #blackmenfrolicking was used over 600,000 times on the platform. The trend then spread to different audiences as black women joined the trend.
A Twitter user commented on the story, berating people for “focusing on one woman (desperate for views) calling Drew Barrymore a racist for dancing in the rain?” Let’s get the important stuff trending…’
Politician Shukri Abdullahi Abdirahman tweeted: “I am so completely confused. Can someone explain to me the connection between frolicking in the rain and black people?’
The infamous social media account Libs of TikTok, which made sarcastic comments on the outraged TikTok user
The user then followed several videos where she explained and commented on her first, doubling down on and mocking Barrymore’s childhood, saying, “Oh, poor Drew had a rough childhood,” the white woman told the black woman.”
She was incredulous at the response her video received, saying that people “reject my opinion of my own TikTok, but defend Drew.”
She claimed that Barrymore’s video of her enjoying the rain “opened the floodgates for people who disrespect black creators.”
The user concluded the video by saying, “This is ridiculous, you guys are so reactionary…I said what I said.”
Barrymore had posted a similar video in May, again encouraging people to get outside and enjoy the rain. | https://whatsnew2day.com/drew-barrymore-is-marked-as-racist-for-posting-innocent-video-of-herself-frolicking-in-the-rain/ | 2022-08-27T09:54:03Z | https://whatsnew2day.com/drew-barrymore-is-marked-as-racist-for-posting-innocent-video-of-herself-frolicking-in-the-rain/ | true | 1 |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jerry Allison, an architect of rock drumming who played and co-wrote songs with childhood friend Buddy Holly and whose future wife inspired the classic “Peggy Sue,” has died. He was 82.
His death was confirmed Wednesday by a spokesperson for Gold Mountain Entertainment, which manages Holly’s one-time backing band The Crickets, of which Allison was the last surviving original member. Further details of his death were not immediately available.
Born in Hillsboro, Texas, Allison met Holly in junior high, and they started playing together in roller rinks and The Cotton Club in Lubbock in the early 1950s, predating the rise of rock music. The two wrote numerous hits together as teenagers, including “That’ll Be the Day,” inspired by a line from John Wayne in the classic Western “The Searchers.”
The Crickets, who also included Joe B. Mauldin and Niki Sullivan, broke through in 1957 with “That’ll Be the Day,” followed by “Oh, Boy!”, “Maybe Baby,” and other singles. Allison’s teenage girlfriend (Peggy Sue Gerron, whom he later married) was the namesake for “Peggy Sue,” which features Allison playing one of rock’s most celebrated drum parts — a rolling pattern called paradiddles.
“Peggy Sue” was covered by numerous artists, including John Lennon and the Beach Boys, and referenced in “Barbara Ann” and other songs. Holly followed with “Peggy Sue Got Married,” later the title of a Francis Coppola film starring Kathleen Turner as a woman who travels back in time.
The Crickets’ sound was often stripped down to rock ‘n’ roll basics: guitars, bass and drums behind Holly’s “hiccupping” vocals. But they also liked experimenting in the studio with multi-tracking and overdubbing and inspired generations of musicians, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and other British Invasion rockers. One band, the Hollies, named themselves after Holly.
Allison’s innovative work is also apparent on “Everyday,” where he ditches the drums and keeps time in the song by slapping his knees. On “Well… All Right,” Allison is drumming just on the cymbals.
But as its fame grew, the band stayed behind in Texas, while Holly moved to New York in 1958. In February 1959, Holly was killed at the age of 22 in a plane accident along with fellow musicians Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, also known at the Big Bopper. The tragedy inspired Don McLean’s 1972 hit “American Pie.”
After Holly’s death, The Crickets continued as a band to tour and record together for decades, including recording the first version of “I Fought The Law,” a Sonny Curtis tune that was a hit later for The Bobby Fuller Four. They backed the Everly Brothers and toured with Waylon Jennings, and they became well respected session players who worked with Bobby Vee, Eddie Cochran and Johnny Burnette.
The Crickets were voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, while Holly was inducted in 1986 in the first class of inductees. Sullivan died in 2004 and Mauldin died in 2014. Allison and Gerron eventually divorced. Gerron died in 2018. | https://www.yourerie.com/entertainment-news/jerry-allison-drummer-for-buddy-holly-dead-at-82/ | 2022-08-27T10:07:37Z | https://www.yourerie.com/entertainment-news/jerry-allison-drummer-for-buddy-holly-dead-at-82/ | true | 41 |
GENEVA (AP) — The number of coronavirus deaths reported worldwide fell by 15% in the past week while new infections dropped by 9%, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.
In its latest weekly assessment of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.N. health agency said there were 5.3 million new cases and more than 14,000 deaths reported last week. WHO said the number of new infections declined in every world region except the Western Pacific.
Deaths jumped by more than 183% in Africa but fell by nearly a third in Europe and by 15% in the Americas. Still, WHO warned that COVID-19 numbers are likely severely underestimated as many countries have dropped their testing and surveillance protocols to monitor the virus, meaning that there are far fewer cases being detected.
WHO said the predominant COVID-19 variant worldwide is omicron subvariant BA.5, which accounts for more than 70% of virus sequences shared with the world’s biggest public viral database. Omicron variants account for 99% of all sequences reported in the last month.
Earlier this week, Pfizer asked U.S. regulators to authorize its combination COVID-19 vaccine that adds protection against the newest omicron relatives, BA.4 and BA.5, a key step towards opening a fall booster campaign.
The Food and Drug Administration had ordered vaccine makers to tweak their shots to target BA.4 and BA.5, which are better than ever at dodging immunity from earlier vaccination or infection.
Meanwhile, in the U.K., regulators authorized a version of Moderna’s updated COVID-19 vaccine last week that includes protection against the earlier omicron subvariant BA.1. British officials will offer it to people aged 50 and over beginning next month.
In Germany, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Cabinet approved legislation Wednesday that ensures basic protective measures against the coronavirus pandemic are continued during the fall and winter, when more virus cases are expected.
Meanwhile, in the Philippines, millions of students wearing face masks streamed back to primary and secondary schools across the country on Monday for their first in-person classes after two years of coronavirus lockdowns.
Officials had grappled with daunting problems, including classroom shortages, lingering COVID-19 fears, an approaching storm and quake-damaged school buildings in the country’s north, to welcome back nearly 28 million students who enrolled for the school year.

Monkeypox has reached all 50 states
(The Hill) — The monkeypox virus has reached all 50 states.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, Wyoming reported a single case of the virus on Monday, becoming the final state in the country to do so.
In a news release, the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) said the lone virus case is from a male resident in Laramie County, adding that state public health representatives have followed up with the infected individual to see if other residents had direct contact with him.
“Because monkeypox spreads through close, intimate contact we do not believe the risk for the virus is now a higher concern for the local community or for most people in Wyoming,” WDH state health officer and state epidemiologist Alexia Harrist. “Monkeypox does not spread easily like familiar viruses such as influenza or COVID-19.”
Harrist also recommended that getting vaccinated is the best possible way to “prevent further spread” of the virus.
“While anyone can become ill with monkeypox, vaccine eligibility is currently limited to people who are at highest risk in connection with this outbreak and how its spreading,” she said. “The goal is to put available vaccine supplies to the best possible use.”
As of Monday, there are 15,433 reported cases of monkeypox in the U.S with New York leading the way with nearly 3,000 reported cases, followed by California, Florida, Texas and Georgia, CDC data showed.
Recently, the Department of Human and Health Services officially declared monkeypox a public health emergency in the U.S.
The Biden administration, which has faced criticism for its slow initial response to the outbreak, plans to accelerate the production of the monkeypox vaccine by making an additional 1.8 million doses available starting this week. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2716104692688/monkeypox-has-reached-all-50-states | 2022-08-27T10:12:45Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2716104692688/monkeypox-has-reached-all-50-states | false | 25 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department is facing pushback from the cryptocurrency industry over sanctions imposed on a firm accused of helping to launder billions of dollars — with some funds going to North Korean hackers.
Earlier this month, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the virtual currency mixing firm, Tornado Cash, which allegedly helped to launder more than $7 billion worth of virtual currency since its creation in 2019.
Mixing services combine various digital assets, including potentially illegally and legitimately obtained funds, to keep the origins of the funds secret, including money that has been stolen.
In the weeks after the sanctions were announced, crypto firms, lobbyists and at least one lawmaker have come to the firm’s defense, saying the sanctions open the door to limiting Americans’ usage of privacy software.
Coin Center, a nonprofit crypto advocacy firm, says Treasury’s financial crimes enforcement arm “overstepped its legal authority” through its sanctions, which “potentially violates constitutional rights to due process and free speech.”
One cryptocurrency firm, Tether, has said it would not freeze its accounts tied to Tornado Cash and intends to keep them open. And Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), who has received at least $50,000 in contributions from the executive director of the Blockchain Association this year, wrote to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen this week asking for the rationale for sanctioning Tornado Cash, saying the sanctions “impact not only our national security, but the right to privacy of every American citizen.”
He told The Associated Press the sanctions punish Americans who use the firm’s software for legitimate purposes. “My government has no business sanctioning my ability to use a software that protects my anonymity, especially when I’m using it for legitimate purposes,” he said.
The defense of the firm comes as a Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev was arrested by Dutch authorities in early August, days after U.S. sanctions were imposed, for allegedly facilitating money laundering.
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control says Tornado Cash’s systems were used, among other things, to launder more than $96 million drawn from the June Harmony blockchain bridge theft and August Nomad crypto firm heist.
A Treasury spokesperson said that the agency is focused on disrupting criminal behavior and will use its sanctions authorities to protect the U.S. financial system from illicit activity like cyber theft, money laundering, and weapons proliferation financing.
Kristin Smith, executive director of the Blockchain Association, said the sanctions impact law abiding users of crypto mixing technology.
“If you are paid in cryptocurrency, transactions on most blockchains are transparent,” she said, adding that mixers are used by those who don’t want their transactions viewable on a public ledger.
“I think we do need to have a conversation around privacy and empower law enforcement without undermining people’s ability to have private transactions,” Smith said.
This is not the first set of sanctions on a digital asset mixing firm.
In May, the U.S. announced sanctions against North Korean digital currency mixing firm Blender.io, accused of helping Lazarus Group, the sanctioned North Korean cyber hacking group, carry out a $600 million digital currency heist in March.
Since the Tornado Cash sanctions, crypto experts have speculated on whether expected regulations would result in a ban on mixing services.
The Biden administration issued an executive order on digital assets in March that calls, in part, for regulations on the industry.
“This may be the end,” Smith said “but we wont know until we see the regulations.”
This story has been corrected to show that the executive director of Blockchain Association, not the association, contributed to Emmer.

Good day. My name is Chelsea, and I'll be your conference operator. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to Coty's Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2022 Question-and-Answer Conference Call. As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded today, August 25, 2022.
Please note that earlier this morning, Coty issued a press release and prepared remarks webcast, which can be found on its Investor Relations website. On today's call are Sue Nabi, Chief Executive Officer; and Laurent Mercier, Chief Financial Officer.
I would like to remind you that many of the comments today may contain forward-looking statements. Please refer to Coty's earnings release and the reports filed with the SEC where the company lists factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements.
In addition, except where noted, the discussion of Coty's financial results and Coty's expectations reflect certain adjustments as specified in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of the company's release.
With that, we will now open the lines for questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
[Operator Instructions] And our first question will come from Stephanie Wissink with Jefferies.
Stephanie Wissink
We have 2 questions. The first is just on Travel Retail, China and e-commerce. Those really stood out to us in the quarter and the year as big drivers of growth. So can you talk about your expectations for those drivers in your fiscal '23 guidance, specifically China, if you can give us some sense of what you're assuming?
And then Sue, I'm going to ask you a tough question. I'm hoping you're willing to answer, but there's been a lot made about the carrying relationship in that portfolio of brands. And I'm hoping you can share a little bit about since you've arrived at Coty, how that relationship has changed, the commitment you have to those brands and maybe some of the performance indicators that you're looking at to reinforce that relationship?
Sue Nabi
Yes. Thank you so much for your questions. So first, let me start with the first part, which is around the strength of the business. Indeed, the Travel Retail, e-commerce and China, I will say a few words about China later, are clearly our Travel Retail and e-commerce, key contributors to this I would say, best-in-class performance that we had in Q4 and in fiscal '22.
I really hope that everyone will recognize today and now that these 8 quarters of results on par or ahead of expectations of our guidances and of course, most of our peers, it's clearly hopefully going to be recognized as a great achievement. That's a very important point.
When it comes to Travel Retail and the fact that Travel Retail has been a key contributor, it's true that for all of us, specifically those who've been traveling, we've seen now there is a huge surge in terms of travel worldwide. And this surge of travel, of course, translates into beauty figures, if I may say, specifically at Coty. Our Travel Retail channel has been doing fantastically well during the quarter.
Year-on-year, to take 1 example, it's 3x -- triple-digit growth, sorry, in terms of what we are seeing there. This is across the full board of categories, our fragrances and specifically our highest end fragrances and more artisanal or niche fragrances are doing fantastically well, gaining market share, thanks to Travel Retail exclusives, but also thanks to the level of innovations.
Our new category, because we entered the -- before the pandemic Travel Retail was 1 category channel, it was mainly fragrances. Now Travel Retail is fragrances, Prestige Makeup and of course, skincare. And on Prestige Makeup there, we've been doing also fantastic figures, thanks to the different brands, the Burberry Makeup, Gucci Makeup or more recently, Kylie Cosmetics, which had fantastic results in the top airports around the world.
And last but not least, this channel is now fully benefiting from the repositioning of Lancaster from a sun care to a skin care brand, that started first in Hainan, but that's currently spread into Mainland China at Sephora as an exclusive partnership. And we've seen that this brand has been posting a double-digit growth in fiscal '22, which overall also had to do a lot with Travel Retail performance.
E-commerce is clearly doing very, very well. This is clearly, I would say, the case in the Prestige division. It's even more the case on the Consumer Beauty division. And this honestly, I have to say, it's a big satisfaction for us because our brands are becoming dominant brands on social media, specifically CoverGirl, of course, but also Rimmel. We've done a recent launch called Thrill that happened at the end of the quarter and beginning of Q1, that's doing fantastically well, 100% co-created with TikTok-ers. So clearly, this part of the business is a key contributor. And you can imagine that in the coming quarter, it is going to continue to be a key contributor.
When it comes to the China topic. On China, of course, like everyone, we've been impacted by the lockdowns at the end of Q3 and during Q4. That's what we have seen in Q1, now 2 months into Q1, is that China has fortunately strongly rebounded. We are seeing double-digit growth, not at the level of what we had inside prior to the first, I would say, slowdown because of the restrictions, but very, very strong performance. And overall, Coty China had a plus 11% performance in fiscal '22 to be compared to a market that was minus 1%. So that's what I can tell you on the business side.
Now concerning the second part of your question, first of all, I'm not giving, as you can imagine, to do a lot of comments on speculations. But what I can tell you is that our long-term partnerships with our top fashion houses are continuing to be of a great quality and the other thing that I would like also to stress now that you're asking me the question is that I'm taking again this opportunity to repeat, that no key license is up to renewal before 5 years So everything else is speculation. But these are the two key elements I need to share with you today. I hope this answers your two questions, Stephanie?
Stephanie Wissink
It does.
Sue Nabi
Thank you.
Operator
Our next question will come from Nik Modi with RBC.
Nik Modi
Sue, I was hoping you could just provide some context. Of course, I think the resiliency of beauty is pretty clear during downturns. But I wanted to understand, within your guidance, how you're thinking about the macroeconomic backdrop -- do you think this is going to be some kind of gradual, very shallow situation? Or are you expecting things to deteriorate further from here? So that's the first question.
And then the second question is just maybe an update on what's going on with inventories at Retail, given that they're managing their inventories very tightly right now. So I just wanted to get some perspective on what's going on with inventory
Sue Nabi
Yes. Thank you for the question. So again, what I can tell you when it comes to the macro and what we are seeing currently, which is the best indicator of what we will hopefully oversee is that the beauty category is not showing any sign of slowdown, specifically when it comes to Prestige, but also the premiumized part of Consumer Beauty. Clearly, consumers are more than ever have to say, premiumizing, which is again, I guess, for all of us is a kind of surprise in the middle of this inflationary pressure, that they are premiumizing more and more.
And during Q4, what we have seen is the movement, if I take the fragrance category, moving from Eau de Toilette to Eau de Parfum which are more expensive because more concentrated versions of scenting. This movement is confirmed and it's only accelerating, I have to say. So we don't see consumers trading down. We see them trading up in Prestige behind categories such as fragrances, but also behind categories such as Prestige Makeup.
And on the Consumer Beauty side, the part that's the best preserved. And if you listen to what some of our partner retailers have been sharing recently during their earnings, it's clearly the premiumized part of the Consumer Beauty that's doing fantastically well. Probably, I would say that in the past, we were putting on 1 side the things that are priced and then things that are very, very affordable.
I do believe that in beauty today, the market will be all about cool or desirable brands, be it from Max or Prestige and not cool and not desirable brands be it from Max and Prestige. And those that are cool and desirable are by defination going to be protected. over protected probably because this has become, I would say, we call it the fragrance index or the fragrance effect.
It's clearly these products that are not only female but also male, fragrances are really consumed today by men, women, Gen Zs, Latins, et cetera, in the years to take this example. And these are categories that I do believe because they are making you look or feel better, are becoming more and more essential categories rather than what we could consider as categories that you would shop only when you're okay. So I think it's really this that I see in terms of macro trends.
In terms of inventory, to answer the second part the retailers have indeed excess inventories in some other categories, but not in beauty. In fact, if you listen again to the earnings from the different retailers, if there is 1 preserved category, it's in the beauty.
Operator
Our next question will come from Javier Escalante with Evercore.
Javier Escalante
My question has to do with the consumer division. If you can give us an update with regards to the supply chain challenges that CoverGirl had or were in the quarter? And also, how you see the profitability of the business going forward? It improved at least more than I thought in Q4. So if you can expand that, that would be great.
Laurent Mercier
Yes. So Javier, I would take the question. So consumer beauty, on the first question on supply chain. And I would say, it's not specific to consumer beauty. I will make a comment on global supply chain. So number one, indeed, I mean, the issue we raised last time in our last webcast this is the result, I remember when we had the call, we were telling you that this was really in good progress. So now this is resolved.
However, from a global standpoint, Obviously, as our peers, we are not immune from current supply issues. But definitely, we are well protected, and we know we have a service level which is in the low 90s, which is a good performance. So why we are protecting this is definitely because we worked now for several quarters on dual sourcing, on local sourcing and also, we had also some contracts on freight, which could protect us.
So this is really the combination of all these levers. And as you can imagine and as you know, this is a daily focus from all the teams, we need to keep a strong improvement and control on supply chain. There is another angle on supply chain and [indiscernible] is also that the demand in fact is higher. So also you have both elements, and this is indeed what we have to manage. But we are winning control and managing nicely the current constraints.
Second, -- you are absolutely right, consumer beauty profitability moving better than expected. I mean the reason is very simple. When I talk every time about the virtuous cycle we apply this approach from both segments. This is the case for Prestige. So this is also the case for Consumer Beauty.
So the recipe which has really improved the gross margin, this is something which is really absolutely in the DNA of Consumer Beauty teams, thanks to all the levers mix. Sue rightly just mentioned that we are premiumizing all the new innovations tangent free. So this is really a key element, the new innovation we are launching are really premiumized and really helping definitely the mix on the gross margin.
We are doing pricing in the current context. But I mean assisting every time in a very granular manner, in a very detailed manner, so it's very, very precise and also optimizing cost of goods because rationalization of the portfolio is platforming, which is really a key element.
We raised a few times that when we are doing astute innovation, for example, CoverGirl we can use the same platform then to replicate a Max Factor or Rimmel, and by doing [this efficiently].
So that's really the virtuous cycle. And then, of course, we are using this money to inject the media in the new city. And you remember, this is what we did in Q3. Since we had the question that indeed in Q3, the level of A&CP was rather high in consumer beauty this was a conscious decision to support all those initiatives and then indeed now delivering sustainable profitability in consumer beauty and obviously, we continue in fiscal '22 and beyond.
Operator
Our next question will come from Olivia Tong with Raymond James.
Olivia Tong
My first question is on fiscal '23 EBITDA expectations. I see continued strong margin expansion plan. It looks like you're expecting about 200 basis points of margin improvement in the first half, but -- prior to the second half. So I was just wondering if you could expand on that and what's driving the first half versus second half expectations? And then my follow-up question is around your view on celebrity influencer led brands. It's obviously a space that you have great color into, but it is becoming more and more crowded. So I'd love to hear your views in terms of relative success of your brands versus others? And how these brands differ in terms of growth expectations and support levels relative to the rest of your portfolio?
Sue Nabi
Thank you. So I will take indeed the first part on EBITDA expectation. And first of all, I really want to remind that on some of the metrics on top line and EBITDA, indeed, I mean, our fiscal year '23 guidance is completely in line with the midterm guidance that we gave you, remember in November.
So this is really confirming the robustness of the model and really the strong achievement of fiscal '22 we continue in fiscal '23 in a very consistent manner. So definitely, the marginal guide implies this, but I would say it's still a little too early to go more in that between H1 and H2. So it is really definitely we continue the gross margin expansion, disciplining fixed costs, investing and delivering this full year guidance. Now navigating H1 and H2, it may be something that we adapt during the year depending on the evolution of all the metrics. So still too early to debate on this.
Laurent Mercier
Laurent Mercier. So I'm going to take the second part of the question, which is around celebrity and influencer-led brands. So if I remember well, the question was around, is it more competitive? The answer is clearly yes. This is a very, very competitive part of the business.
I think all of us, we see a lot of brands launched on a daily basis, almost daily, so it's very, very competitive. I do believe that there is a place where there is a kind of moment of truth, which is [indiscernible]. There is a selection that's happening because the ability to have a go-to-market that's strong as a Coty go-to-market, to be present in hundreds if not thousands of stores globally, this is clearly an element that selects a lot of DTC brands as potentially becoming bigger brands. And by the commission makes the competition less important.
In terms of right level of investment, as you can imagine, these brands are born on social media. They have natural A&CP, if I may, call it like this because of the reach of the different people who are reaching to the communities on a daily basis. And therefore, there is less need to overinvest in media, like we do it on classical brands. So it's really this kind of, I would say, compromise that we need to find depending on the brand and depending on the kind of innovation.
Operator
Our next question will come from Chris Carey with Wells Fargo Securities.
Chris Carey
So your new launch activity was a theme that came up through our prepared remarks and a little bit in the Q&A session here. And a lot of focus was on the Kim launch in the front half. You noted that you're at 20% of your full year sales expectations already. Is there any way you can frame what the contribution from the Kim launch will be to the outlook this year? And in general, what the contribution from new launches will be to your fiscal ’23 overall on sales and potentially on profits, then I have a quick follow-up?
Sue Nabi
Yes. Thank you, Chris, for the question. So again, when it comes to the first part, which is the contribution, as you can imagine, we do not share figures of how much this brand is going to contribute to the growth of the company. But clearly, the start of this new line is very good.
We are above our expectations. And something that's for me and for all of us is a very, very strong sign is that the best-selling item is not a single product, the best-selling item is the full line of 9 SKUs, which is priced at $575.
So for us, if consumers are ready to spend $575 on a set of 9 products, it means a lot in terms of how they trust the brand, how they trust what we are doing together on this brand. So this is clearly something that we wanted to share with you.
What I can tell you about the fiscal ’23 guide, it's not dependent on this launch. It's clearly a very broad base. And this is another item I would like to insist on a lot. It's really that my job and Laurent’s job and the job of all the people at Coty, is to build a growth that's as balanced as possible in terms of geographies. You've seen that, in fact, not being overexposed to China protected us recently. In terms of categories, we are working hard to make sure we have all categories in hand so that whatever happening in 1 category or the other, we can accelerate in 1 category versus another in terms of brands, not being dependent from any brand.
And clearly, this is something that's a key element that is part of the way we are building the net revenues not only for fiscal '23, but also into our algorithm that we presented to you a few months ago.
Well, in terms of what are the key building blocks for our fiscal '23. Fragrance launches and category growth are clearly the biggest building blocks that we have embedded into this guidance.
Chris Carey
The quick follow-up would just be, Laurent, you did note some buckets of gross margin in the prepared remarks. It was also noted that Coty is expecting modest gross margin expansion for the year. I wonder if you could maybe just frame the cadence of gross margin expansion over the course of the year. And then perhaps any of the key buckets the puts and takes as you see that?
Laurent Mercier
Yes. So I mean, first of all, let me remind, as you noted, I mean, gross margin expansion in fiscal '22 close to 400 basis points. So you can really see that all the actions, all the initiatives that we put in place delivered strong results.
Now definitely, we continue the journey. We still have some initiatives that we are implementing to continue gross margin expansion, definitely not at the same reason as we had this year, and it confirms really, as I just shared, that we are very confident in moving to the mid 60s gross margin by '25.
What are the ingredients? What are the buckets? So let me take the key elements. Number 1 is mix. Mix is a key driver of the gross margin. And again, we see concrete results of what we have achieved in fiscal '22, which is really the premiumization of fragrance either in segments and also makeup and the next phase indeed in the skincare, but also in Consumer Beauty.
We, obviously all the new innovations that we are launching, are margin accretive. And sometimes we don't have the same level of proceeds. So we see that driver and we continue in fiscal '23, and it's part of the strategy and all the initiatives that we'll be having.
Number 2 is definitely pricing, and I can elaborate a little on this because this is a key element. We implemented a low single-digit price increase at the beginning of calendar '22. We are currently, as we speak, implementing mid-single-digit price increase, and this implementation is going very smoothly.
So there is no impact on volume. And again, it's really quality of execution. And we are also working on preparing a new round of price increase low single digit in the beginning of calendar '23. So we are definitely, from a top line standpoint, we’re doing very well.
Then on cost of goods, definitely, there is a strong headwind due to inflation. It's about roughly slightly above 2% of net revenue. This is what we had in Q4, and we have the same assumption for fiscal '23, okay? So it's 2% and also cost of goods, we have strong intangible actions which will help the gross margin.
Number 1 is we get the effect of the closure of the factory -- fragrance factory in Germany. As you know, we announced 18 months ago this decision. We executed, I mean the team, during the 12 months, and this was perfectly executed without any disruption. And we are now getting the savings starting now.
We are also working as of now on platforming of the value analysis reviewing all the formulas, either Consumer Beauty or Prestige and really with the objective to simply find the formula to standardize and also to have late differentiation. And by doing this, we are making savings in procurement, but also in manufacturing.
So these are really the elements of all the gross margin expansion. This is uncaptured in the all including umbrella, and this will keep supporting gross margin expansion in '23. And again, same flywheel to keep fueling all the key initiatives that we have in the growth agenda.

[Operator Instructions] Our next question will come from Steve Powers with Deutsche Bank.
Steve Powers
Yes. Sue, maybe building on your comments earlier around balance across the portfolio. I guess I was hoping you could frame for us in a bit more detail, just base case expectations in terms of the contributions from Prestige versus Consumer Beauty within the '23 outlook? And given the macro comments you made earlier and current momentum, I'm guessing Prestige is to, again, be an amplified driver of growth, but perhaps you could just talk through the magnitude and sensitivities there, number one.
And then separately on China, I guess just a little bit more specificity around your perspective on how that market is expected to grow in the year ahead? And just how dependent your own business is on resumed market growth in China at this point in its evolution in China?
Sue Nabi
Yes. Steve, thank you for your questions. So let's start with the first part, which is around how we are building in such fiscal '23 growth. And I think part of the answer was in your question. As you can imagine, there is what we call at Coty’s fragrance index that's happening [as of last time], which is clearly about this category clearly supporting the growth of the beauty category not only in the U.S. but globally. This category is 20% above the levels of 2019 globally here again. And we see it continuing to premiumize to commend higher pricing with a lot of innovations, either from our artisanal brands or more mainstream brands. So clearly, this is going to hold us clearly during fiscal 2023.
Clearly, we will continue to execute on our makeup strategy, Prestige makeup strategy. There, again, the brands that we are having in this area are growing superfast and therefore, there are going to be key contributors even if the base is smaller.
So by definition, in absolute value, it's just a contributor, but still it's a key one. And last but not least, we are, for the first time, starting to operate a full skin care line in China. I'm thinking about Lancaster, but hopefully going to slowly but surely become a key contributor in our growth agenda.
So to see by nature because of the markets and because of the fact that we are adding categories is going to be in a way, a key contributor to fiscal '23. I remind you that the Prestige business is 60% of our net revenues, while Consumer Beauty is more or less 40%.
But we are also quite bullish on Consumer Beauty because we have incredible launches. Some of them started at the end of the quarter, beginning of Q1. I'm thinking about Thrill Seeker that started in U.K. behind the Rimmel brand, but having fantastic start. It's the first product that has been co-created 100% with TikTok in mind with TikTokers as not only creating the products but also part of the campaigns, holding and facing the campaign in front of consumers. But also in the U.S., CoverGirl, we are activating one of the most powerful franchise behind CoverGirl, which is Simply Ageless.
Simply Ageless is 1 of a kind line in the U.S. It's really the only line that's so modern in terms of approach of the question around age. It's all about mixing beautiful skincare ingredients together with performing makeup ingredients. And this line, every time we put money and investment behind, we see it growing super, super fast, and we are also still including recently in the most recent launches. So clearly, this is, I would say, the way we described how we have built fiscal '22.
Now when it comes to China, what we are seeing is that -- of course, they have been lockdowns, there have the pressure on consumption, including e-commerce. But what we are seeing now 2 months into the first quarter of fiscal '23, at least for Coty is that the spike in our sales is back to, I would say, levels that are not the same as the ones we had beginning of calendar '22, but very, very strong double-digit level.
So this is clearly something that we will count on. And again, for us, think about something quite simple. China is so small for Coty that anything we do, just doing the right things is a potential upside for the whole business there and therefore for the company.
Operator
Our next question will come from Korinne Wolfmeyer with Piper Sandler.
Korinne Wolfmeyer
Congrats on the quarter. So I'd like to first kind of push you a little bit more on what you're seeing in color cosmetics. Now could some of the recent strength be coming from reopening and the summer season, having lots of weddings and events. So -- is there any way to kind of parse out how much could be coming from the reopening and how much is more sustained strength going forward?
And then just touching on the recent Ant partnership that was announced, we’re excited to hear that. But can you just expand a bit on what this partnership means for Coty? How can we help expect this to kind of help the China in Travel Retail parts of the business ramp faster? And then any financial implications here that you can share with us would be great.
Sue Nabi
Thank you for your questions. So let me start with the first part, which is around what we are seeing in product Cosmetics and how much of this is driven by reopening versus something that's more sustainable, if I understood quite right, the question.
So what I can tell you is that what we are seeing is on top of the strong categories that were booming during the lockdowns and post pandemic, I think of anything that has to do with eye products, be it mascaras, growth products, lash growth serum, eyeshadows, et cetera, we are seeing the rest of the categories back to growth, including lip color
But not any kind of lip color interestingly, the launches that are doing the best at Coty and specifically, I think about CoverGirl in the U.S., it's seeing rebounds. Rebounds that probably are mixing the right things that people are looking for, which is on 1 side a hint of color and on the other side, a lot of care. And this is for me a sustainable trend, if I may say.
And this is clearly going to be here to spend the test of time. There will be more and so people are going to look for more pigmented makeup, moments where they will look for less pigmented maker. But whatever will happen, what I call skin side makeup or healthy makeup whatever you like name, this is the key trend behind the consumption of this category in the U.S., that we also see the same things more or less around the world in other regions.
Now when it comes to the partnerships that you are referring to between Ant and Alibaba, what does it mean for Coty and for the traveling momentum? We are, of course, studying the consequences of this partnership. The only thing I can tell you is that there is something very strong is that we are all waiting for the Chinese consumers to be back to travel.
And therefore, to add on to the Travel Retail huge figures, remember, I shared with you that Travel Retail is back to the levels pre-pandemic. But this is still with a minus 20%, minus 30% less passengers, so having all these consumers back to this channel can only confirm the importance of Travel Retail. And I can tell you that this partnership also means that Travel Retail and China are more or less telling us the same story and are extremely linked to each other.

Our next question will come from Mark Astrachan with Stifel.
Mark Astrachan
Yes. I guess first, just on marketing spend, ad marketing spend. 20% of sales in fiscal '22, how do you think about where that goes in '23 and beyond? Is there any particular benchmark you're using and then sort of more specifically, it was up 600 basis points as a percentage of sales year-on-year, obviously contributed to strong growth. But how do you think about the need to continue to increase that and the correlation to sales growth going forward?
Laurent Mercier
Yes. So Mark, so indeed, as you saw in '22, I mean, we were able to step up significantly our level AnCP, and now to be in the range of a high 20%. We are making very clear that high 20s is really for us, -- is a accurate level and definitely within our flywheel. This is something that we are thinking also for fiscal '23.
Now definitely, within high 20s is really the way. And again, the granularity is really how we spend the money. So definitely, its really the quality of execution. So we are more than able focused on ROI. So definitely, the allocation of this money, everything is defined through ROI KPI, both in Prestige and in Consumer Beauty.
And definitely capturing the trend that Sue have just explained, and I want to dig also on the well-balanced good points, because then we can allocate per geography in a balanced manner, per category and also per brand. So this is definitely what we are doing, is allocating the initiatives really per ROI.
Another element also because, of course, we are talking about percentage, per dollar, that is also within AnCP, we have also some productivity and optimization initiatives. Definitely, if I take an element that we are calling other AnCP, which maybe is less visible, of course, media is very visible. But there are also some other areas which, I would say, are nonworking where we have also really improving umbrella, some strong productivity initiatives.
I can just give you some examples about samples, textures, marketing materials, which are basically area where we have some optimization. But always with the same mindset that optimization productivity we are doing on this line, we can reallocate in the working media and push definitely the business agenda.
Mark Astrachan
Great. And then -- just thought I got cut off there. I wanted to ask about just how to think about margin profiles across the Prestige businesses. Any material differences in thinking about the license versus wholly-owned brands and by category, makeup skin care versus fragrance?
Laurent Mercier
No. I mean there is -- I mean -- and we don't answer this level of detail, but what I can tell you again is that, of course, Prestige gross margin, as you know, I mean, is higher than Consumer Beauty. So this is a fact.
But again, as I shared several times and the gross margin agenda is valid for both segments. To elaborate a little more within -- Consumer Beauty, definitely that all the initiatives that we are making, so Prestige Makeup, e-commerce, but also geography, we mentioned about China, all these initiatives are really driving gross margin accretion. So this is really the way we are taking the gross margin agenda.
Sue Nabi
Thank you, Laurent. Thank you, everyone. So again -- thank you, Mark. So again, we are ending the call right now. Super happy again to report these results, again, best-in-class results, and we hope to talk to you soon about what's happening in Q1. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

A new report suggests ways Providence, Rhode Island, can atone for its extensive ties to the transatlantic slave trade and centuries of racism and discrimination by, among other things, establishing home repair funds, launching financial literacy programs and boosting aid to Black and Indigenous organizations.
The report, issued Monday by the Providence Municipal Reparations Commission, notably doesn’t recommend giving out direct payments to Black and Native American residents, as some had called for.
Instead, it defines “reparations” as efforts that close the “present-day racial wealth and equity gaps,” and outlines 11 areas for the city to focus its reparations work, including criminal justice reform, neighborhood development, health equity and improving educational and cultural opportunities.
Providence’s reparations effort was launched the same year Rhode Island voters approved a ballot referendum getting rid of the words “and Providence Plantations” from the state’s formal name because of its slavery connotations.
The new report suggests creating a dedicated fund to support residents impacted by urban renewal policies that displaced and negatively impacted communities of color. It also calls for forgiving certain municipal court debts; ending police use of so-called “no-knock” warrants; decriminalizing consumption of alcohol in public; and creating a school curriculum based on the city’s research into its racist and discriminatory policies.
But the report doesn’t suggest how much money should be spent on the many specific initiatives it lists, or which should take priority over others. Mayor Jorge Elorza, who launched the reparations effort two summers ago and is leaving office at the end of the year, is expected to address next steps in the process Thursday, including how he proposes to spend $10 million in federal coronavirus pandemic funds the city has specifically earmarked for reparations-related work.
The report recommends limiting eligibility for reparations-related efforts to those with Indigenous heritage or ancestors originating from sub-Saharan Africa, residents of neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, and low income households earning less than 50% of the area median income.
Rodney Davis, chair of the commission, said in a statement that he hopes the report helps advance new city policies and programs and inspires outside institutions to also get involved.
“Our recommendations are centered on the objective of moving people, institutions, and businesses in a similar direction towards universal equity,” he said.
Last year, Elorza’s administration released a historical report tracing the city’s racist and discriminatory practices and their legacy, from colonial through modern times. The reparations commission has been meeting since the spring with members appointed by the mayor and city council. | https://www.yourerie.com/news/national-news/rhode-island-reparations-report-suggests-programs-not-cash/ | 2022-08-27T10:32:01Z | https://www.yourerie.com/news/national-news/rhode-island-reparations-report-suggests-programs-not-cash/ | false | 33 |

As millions of people in the Greater Horn of Africa have already “suffered the longest drought in 40 years,” parts of the region are bracing for a fifth consecutive failed rainy season, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has reported.
The forecast for October to December, issued at the Greater Horn of Africa Seasonal Climate Outlook Forum, shows high chances of drier than average conditions across most parts of the region, which will further worsen the crisis for millions of people.
“It pains me to be the bearer of bad news,” said Guleid Artan, Director of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) – WMO’s climate centre for East Africa.
“Sadly, our models show with a high degree of confidence that we are entering the fifth consecutive failed rainy season in the Horn of Africa”.
Raising the alarm
Last month, IGAD and humanitarian agencies raised the alarm that over 50 million people in the region are suffering from acute food insecurity this year.
“In Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia, we are on the brink of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe,” continued Mr. Artan, noting that significantly less rainfall totals are expected until the end of the year.
The severity of the situation was echoed by IGAD Executive Secretary Workneh Gebeyehu, who made a solemn call to national governments, donors, humanitarian, and development actors to “adopt a no-regret strategy and help us weather the worst of this crisis”.
Rainfall deficits
Rainfall from October to December contributes up to 70 per cent of the annual total in the equatorial parts of the Greater Horn of Africa, particularly in eastern Kenya.
However, the start of the rainy season is likely to be delayed across much of the eastern parts of the region, triggering rainfall deficits.
The exceptional drought underlines the vulnerability of the region to climate-related risks, which are expected to intensify because of climate change.
Early warning initiative
Against the backdrop that hydrometerological and early warning services (EWS) can potentially reduce negative impacts, WMO revealed the launch of a new $5.2 million project to better enable regional and national entities to produce and use these services.
Project Activities will be centered around supporting EWS regional services and strengthening regional coordination and cooperation for these and climate services.
Support for regional centres to provide hydromet products and services will in turn contribute to strengthening the capacities of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, according to WMO.
Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan
Moreover, the project will also provide technical support to Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan by building upon and leveraging ongoing and pipeline investment projects implemented or financed by WMO, the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, and the World Bank.
In Ethiopia, activities will support providing electricity to “last mile” poor households in rural areas through a performance-based subsidy to the State-owned utility company.
They will also provide communities with actionable EWS, ensure early actions, and develop demand-driven climate and early warning information services.
In Somalia, activities will focus on developing and delivering priority public hydromet services; and in Sudan, they will focus on strengthening community involvement in EWS and strengthening flood early warning services. | https://www.kbc.co.ke/wmo-greater-horn-of-africa-drought-forecast-to-continue-for-fifth-year/ | 2022-08-27T10:35:22Z | https://www.kbc.co.ke/wmo-greater-horn-of-africa-drought-forecast-to-continue-for-fifth-year/ | false | 7 |
A Conversation Between Jeff Schulze, Chris Eades and Adam Meyers
Energy has been the best-performing sector in the market year-to-date and over the trailing 12 months, boosted by a spike in crude oil and natural gas prices due to a myriad of economic and geopolitical factors. With oil prices down 20% over the last three months and global recession risks increasing, what will it take for energy stocks to regain their momentum? ClearBridge Investment Strategist Jeff Schulze, CFA, recently sat down with Portfolio Manager Chris Eades and Energy Analyst Adam Meyers to discuss catalysts and risks in the sector.
Jeff Schulze (JS): Energy prices have come down recently. Do you see the downward trend continuing or are other factors at play?
Adam Meyers (AM): I believe there is asymmetric upside not only to gasoline prices, but also crude. The oil market continues to be very tight from a supply standpoint. OPEC has very little spare capacity and there is still a lot of demand offline that could potentially recover. China, for example, has a million plus barrels per day of consumption expected to come back as COVID-19 lockdowns unwind. International travel continues to recover. Given how tight we are from a global supply and demand dynamic, any kind of minor disruption could send prices quickly back to $130 per barrel.
Chris Eades (CE): If demand surprises to the upside in any region of the world, it is very unclear where the supply is going to come from to meet that incremental demand.
It is not likely going to come from OPEC+. The U.S. is already struggling to meet demand, so much so that the government has had to release 150 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) since September of last year. And those barrels have to be put back into the SPR at some point. So while we are supplying the market today, we are also creating demand in the market for oil in late 2023 and early 2024 to replace those barrels back into the SPR, which could be another positive catalyst for demand.
JS: Given this backdrop, what could incentivize domestic producers to bring more oil online?
CE: The signal to the oil and natural gas producers to either drill or not to drill is the price of the commodity. If that reaches a certain point, the returns are there to justify incremental drilling or putting more rigs to work. For oil, based on the reports and our own analysis, you need roughly $50 a barrel looking at the forward curve for oil, looking over the next two years, to ensure a return that meets your cost of capital.
The forward two-year curve for oil is sitting in the $80s right now. So we are well above that despite the fact that oil prices have pulled back here over the last four to six weeks (Exhibit 1). For natural gas, you need something in the $3.00/Mbtu to $3.50/Mbtu range, and the forward curve right now is over $6.00/Mbtu.
Exhibit 1: Oil and Natural Gas Two-Year Forward Curves
And because of those price levels and the returns that are definitely there, the rig counts are rebounding (Exhibit 2). They are not surging the way we might have seen in prior energy cycles, but they are definitely increasing. Natural gas is an even more positive story. We are seeing natural gas production levels today that are actually higher than what we saw before the pandemic began.
JS: But what about the financial prudence we have been hearing about from E&P and service companies, will that be a headwind to higher production?
AM: There is a difference between the publics and the privates. If we think about the public E&Ps, they continue to voice support for the capital discipline model - free cash flows, cash returns to shareholders, keeping production growth in the mid-single digits.
The privates meanwhile should be growing double digits, getting that outsize return because the publics are essentially stuck to their differentiated stories.
With that said, the ability to grow production is actually pretty restricted here. If we think about oil field service companies, unlike prior cycles, they are not adding capacity to the same degree. Because of that, lead times to get new equipment in some cases is in excess of a year. So, even if investors blessed more production growth, even if they were looking to increase double digits, their ability to do so, especially quickly, is restrained.
Exhibit 2: U.S. Rig Count
CE: The key word here - whether for upstream, midstream or downstream energy companies - is free cash flow. And that is a very different dynamic than what we have seen in prior cycles. Energy companies are actually in a position now to either reduce debt, increase their payouts to investors and execute share buybacks. That is a very different dynamic for the energy sector.
Before the pandemic, midstream companies that transport, store and process crude oil and natural gas products were barely earning their dividends or distributions to investors and had high levels of leverage. When the pandemic hit, they suddenly had to slash their dividends and the focus quickly became on debt reduction.
Roll the calendar forward almost three years, they have reduced their balance sheets enormously. They are more than 2x earning the dividends or distributions to investors, and they are now starting to execute share buybacks and increase their dividends or distributions again.
It is a very different business model, and it is all centered around free cash flow.
JS: If more wells are drilled, will there be more volume going through the pipes of midstream companies to boost the industry even more from a free cash flow generation standpoint?
CE: Yes. Publicly traded oil and gas production companies are only around 40% of the market, while 60% of the market are private operators. Looking at the entirety of upstream, not just the publicly traded companies, and drilling activity is increasing steadily, as are production volumes for all three of the primary energy commodities: oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ('LNG'). There is pretty good visibility into production growth, at least extending through 2023, and perhaps longer, depending on the demand recovery with all the variables going on with the war, with Europe and China as well.
I believe energy volumes are going to continue to increase in the U.S. The real question is: where does the incremental barrel of oil come from to meet incremental demand on a global basis? It almost by definition has to be a U.S. barrel. OPEC does not have the spare capacity they are advertising to the market. That means in any sort of a further demand recovery U.S. oil is going to be in demand. That should only further motivate public and private producers to continue allocating capital to the space.
JS: What else makes you optimistic about midstream and upstream energy stocks?
CE: What's interesting about midstream is production volumes are increasing, but there's not a lot of large need to spend capital to facilitate moving or processing these growing barrels of oil. So, oil was at 13 million barrels a day before the pandemic, it currently sits at 12 million. The U.S. infrastructure system is set up to handle 15 million barrels a day of oil. So, there's not a lot of capital that needs to be spent for the midstream companies to see surging cash flows. In fact, capital spending from midstream companies on pipelines, processing plants and similar infrastructure stood around $45 million to $50 million a year for three or four years before the pandemic. It's currently sitting around $20 million to $25 million this year, a level that will likely hold going forward.
Limited capital spending with growing volumes equals growing cash flows, which equals growing free cash flows, which should be the key driver for these stocks to make another move higher beyond how well they have performed recently.
AM: If we think about global supply, one key difference this time around is that over 60% of the overall supply chain is linked to short-cycle, high-decline barrels. Before 2010 this was less than 40%. What does that mean? Obviously, recession concerns. Look what happened in 2020. You had U.S. production fall off a cliff from 13 million barrels, and it has yet to recover.
If the U.S. entered a similar recessionary scenario, all of that production may not come back, so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that more capital will need to be allocated to oil and gas to ultimately meet demand, which has yet to peak globally.
JS: Natural gas prices in Europe are about 10x as high as we have here in the U.S. There is clearly a shortage. Is that a big opportunity for U.S energy providers and what kind of players are lined up to benefit from this?
AM: It is a huge opportunity for the U.S. natural gas players, for two reasons. We put out a paper recently showing just how competitive the Marcellus is from a cost of supply standpoint versus the rest of the globe. Break-evens as low as $2/Mbtu, lower in some cases versus the rest of the globe. So, these wells pay back very quickly. And the other caveat here is from an emissions standpoint, they are better than Russia, Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. That's important because LNG buyers have made it clear they care about the emissions profile of the commodity they are buying. We believe there will be a big U.S. LNG build-out, and companies such as EQT, Chesapeake, which have deep inventories in the Marcellus Shale Basin in Pennsylvania, as well as the Haynesville, will be able to support that build-out.
CE: This is a long-dated opportunity. This is not going to happen overnight. LNG facilities are multibillion-dollar projects that take many years to build and start delivering product. Producers are certainly going to benefit. But infrastructure companies will benefit as well. That gas has to be moved from the Marcellus to an LNG liquefaction plant before it is exported to Europe. Those are long-dated opportunities, but certainly, the longer-term outlook for U.S. natural gas on a global basis is perhaps as rosy as it has been over the course of my career.
JS: Is the Inflation Reduction Act ultimately a path to more oil and gas production in the U.S.?
AM: If we get the natural gas pipelines that ultimately unlock this low-cost natural gas resource up in Pennsylvania, I believe it could unlock more production growth that is blessed by investors of public equities. This is just due to the fact that it would be supporting the secure growth initiative as it pertains to LNG. Not only helping Europe displace Russian natural gas, but also, helping displace the globe's reliance on coal. I think that you could ultimately see a dichotomy between the oil companies that are held to mid-single-digit growth and natural gas companies that could return arguably to even higher growth rates than that.
JS: Is there any concern that markets are starting to price in a potential U.S. recession? Are there other things that are driving prices lower from here?
CE: What has driven oil prices down recently is partly fears of recession and the demand impacts in China and in Europe. The other part of it is we are releasing almost a million barrels a day of oil from the SPR. And those barrels were intended to do exactly what's happening: moderate the price of oil.
AM: If we focus just on the U.S. market, the Department of Energy numbers have been showing gasoline demand down 10% year over year. But there is a lot of discussion out there that that data could be inaccurate and subject to revision. If you look at alternative sources, such as GasBuddy, which tend to follow consumer behavior at the pump very closely, they are actually showing growth. Second, big U.S. refiners such as Valero are reporting with the recent earnings that they are not seeing any demand destruction yet. We could certainly see a positive revision to U.S. gasoline demand that quells some of the fears of recession.
CE: Outside of the pandemic - which is an outlier, hopefully - typically in a recession, oil demand on a global basis will decline by 0.5%-1.0%. The worst number on record was what happened in 2008 into 2009, and that was a 2% reduction. So, let's be very pessimistic and say we are going to go through a 2008-2009 type of recession in terms of global oil demand, that would be roughly a 2 million barrel a day reduction in oil, on a daily basis, in terms of demand. We could more than offset half of that just by having to put oil back into the SPR. So there are some natural offsets as we look out over the next two to three years, and investors need to understand that recession doesn't mean that oil demand falls off a cliff. And given the supply constraints we talked about before, I don't think we're setting ourselves up for an oil price collapse, even if we go through a recession over the coming quarters.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jeremy Clements won a crash-filled Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway early Saturday for his second career victory and first since 2017.
No. 2 came in race No. 421 for the 37-year-old driver/team owner.
“I’m speechless, man,” Clements said near the start-finish line. “I don’t even know what to say.”
No one did.
His win came after two multicar melees in overtime and gave Clements an automatic — and unexpected — berth in the postseason.
“We have nothing to lose, man,” he said. “We’re going to give these big teams all they can stand.”
Clements passed sluggish Austin Hill on the final restart thanks to a big push from Sage Karam and cruised to the checkered flag. Hill looked poised to sweep both Xfinity races at Daytona, but his car seemed to have fuel and electrical issues during the final caution.
When the green flag dropped, Hill did, too. Clements and Karam flew by on the outside.
Timmy Hill finished second, followed by series points leader AJ Allmendinger, Brandon Brown and Karam.
Clements’ first win in 164 races was about being in the right place at the right time. He avoided four big ones in the closing laps. The first involved seven cars with nine laps to go in regulation. The second included eight cars with three to go. The third and biggest of the night came in overtime, with Hill and Noah Gragson just ahead of a 13-car cluster.
Gragson started the fourth one when Clements and Allmendinger pushed him at nearly 190 mph. Gragson slammed into the outside wall and then got spun helicopter style when broadsided by Landon Cassill. When the dust settled, eight more cars were involved.
The grand total: 36 cars involved, some of them several times.
Allmendinger looked like he would challenge Hill and Clements during the final two-lap shootout, but he ran out of fuel just before the final restart and had to pit.
“We survived that big wreck somehow,” Clements said. “I thought if we can just keep up with these guys, it will be a good day. Top five and bring this car home in one piece and that’s a good day.”
It ended up being much better, a playoff-clinching performance.
“Wow, this is incredible,” he said before thanking the fans who stuck around following a three-hour rain delay. “Now let’s go drink a beer.”
MORE BAD BREAKS
Riley Herbst was running fourth early in the final stage when he lost control because of a flat right rear tire. Herbst’s No. 98 Ford slid through the backstretch grass, bringing out a caution and going a lap down.
It was a bad break for the driver who started the day eighth in points and was looking to make up ground with four races to go before the playoffs.
Herbst rallied to finish 15th and found company in the unlucky club.
Sheldon Creed, vying to make the postseason, was involved in a multicar accident on lap 83 and knocked out of the race. John Hunter Nemechek got sideways in the middle of a three-wide pack and turned into Creed, who ended up sliding back across the track and got T-boned by Joe Graf Jr.
Creed finished 36th in the 38-car field.
UP NEXT
The series moves to Darlington Raceway next Saturday. Justin Allgaier won there in May in the No. 7 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports.

Mark Wahlberg Mark is an American actor, businessman, producer, former model, and rapper. Mark Wahlberg was born on July 5, 1971, in Boston, Massachusetts. He comes from a rather large family. Mark was the ninth of nine children, which certainly did not make his childhood easy.
Mark Wahlberg’s Net Worth
Mark Wahlberg is one of the richest actors in the world, with a net worth of $400 million (as of August 2022). Mark is an American actor, businessman, producer, former model, and rapper. He used to be in a gang and sold drugs, but now he is a famous, well-known actor.
As an actor, he can easily ask for $10 million for a role in a movie, but usually, he settles for less money in exchange for a share of the box office profits.
Wahlberg caused a stir when he received $1.5 million for reshoots on the film “All the Money in the World,” while his female colleague Michelle Williams received less than $1,000. Parts of the film had to be reshot because actor Kevin Spacey was expelled from the set over allegations of sexual harassment.
As a result, Wahlberg donated the money to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund. This fund helps women who have been sexually harassed in the workplace and have come forward as part of the Time’s Up movement to pay their legal fees.
Mark Wahlberg’s Investment
In July 2013, Mark Wahlberg became co-owner of a cricket team in Barbados. In 2015, he got rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs and billionaire investor Ron Burkle to put money into a company called Aquahydrate that sells bottled water. He also helped found a company called Performance Inspired, which makes sports nutrition products.
In 2017, he participated in a $6 million funding round for a website called StockX, where people can buy and sell used sneakers. In 2018, Wahlberg and his business partner Jay Feldman bought a Chevy dealership in Columbus, Ohio. The name of the business was changed to “Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet.”
Mark Wahlberg Career
Mark started his career in the entertainment industry as a rapper, which you probably already knew. As a teenager, he rapped with a group of friends that included his brother, who later became the star of “New Kids on the Block”.
Some of the records Mark participated in made it to the Billboard Top 100 charts with the help of his brother Donnie.
Wahlberg also began modeling for Calvin Klein and making small guest appearances on television shows.
He has starred in some very popular movies, such as Max Payne, Ted, Lone Survivor, The Gambler, Daddy’s Home, Patriots Day, and others.
Mark Wahlberg Early Life
Mark Wahlberg was born on July 5, 1971, in Boston, Massachusetts. He comes from a rather large family. Mark was the ninth of nine children, which certainly did not make his childhood easy. As a child, Wahlberg had a pretty tough time.
He didn’t finish high school, and his parents divorced. He joined a gang and then started selling cocaine on the streets of Boston.
At 17, he was arrested for trying to kill someone. He was sentenced to two years in prison but only served 45 days.
Who IS Mark Wahlberg Married To
In 2009, Wahlberg married model Rhea Durham at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills, which was close to their home.
The couple has 4 kids. Their names are Ella Rae, Grace Margaret, Michael, and Brendan Joseph
Mark Wahlberg Real Estate
Mark bought a house in Beverly Hills in 2001 for $4.95 million. In 2015, he put this house on the market for $30 million. Wahlberg sold the home in April 2018 for $12.4 million.
Mark’s primary residence for a little over a decade has been a beautiful estate in the protected Beverly Park neighborhood in Beverly Hills. Wahlberg and his wife paid $8.25 million for one of the last undeveloped lots in Beverly Park, which they bought in May 2009. On the more than 6-acre lot, he hired famed architect Richard Landry to build a 30,000-square-foot main house that was a little crazy (in a good way). The construction cost alone may have been more than $20 million.
There is a golf course, basketball court, large pool, movie theater, and more in the finished product. Mark put this home on the market in April 2022 for $87.5 million.
Mark and his wife paid $15,600,000 in August 2022 for two vacant lots in The Summit, a very exclusive gated community in the Las Vegas suburbs.
Mark Wahlberg Awards
Mark Wah was nominated in 2006 for the 79th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Martin Scorsese’s thriller “The Departed”, and the Golden Globe for Best
Performance by an Actor, and the National Society of Film Critics award for Best Supporting Actor in 2006 for his role in Martin Scorsese’s thriller “The Departed.”
At the 83rd Academy Awards in 2010, he was nominated for Best Picture along with David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman for “The Fighter.”

Jharkhand political crisis: After UPA meeting, MLAs moved to unknown location to avoid poaching
On Thursday, media reports said that the Election Commission has suggested disqualifying Chief Minister Hemant Soren from the state Assembly.
Amid the threat of being disqualified in the Jharkhand Assembly, Chief Minister Hemant Soren and his allies began moving their legislators to an unknown location on Saturday, ANI reported.
Earlier in the day, MLAs of the ruling United Progressive Alliance attended a meeting at Soren’s residence in Ranchi. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Left parties are part of the alliance.
Visuals showed that two buses ferried the Jharkhand MLAs from Soren’s home to avoid poaching attempts.
It is unclear where they are being shifted to.
Ahead of the meeting, Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee President Rajesh Thakur said that the MLAs were coming with luggage for the meeting because they have been asked to be ready to move out, reported ANI.
“We’ll let you know if MLAs are asked to shift somewhere,” he added.
On Thursday, reports said that the Election Commission has suggested disqualifying Soren from the Assembly. The opinion was sent to the Raj Bhavan in a sealed cover. But, Soren said that he did not receive any communication either from the Election Commission or the governor recommending his disqualification.
The disqualification order means that Soren will have to resign as an MLA, but can get re-elected within six months. He can also continue to remain the chief minister if legislators of the ruling United Progressive Alliance name him as the leader of the coalition.
The poll panel order came on an office-of-profit complaint filed by the Bharatiya Janata Party alleging that Soren allotted a mining lease in his name. Soren also holds the mining portfolio in Jharkhand.
An office-of-profit means a position that brings to the person holding it financial gains or benefits.
The BJP has also accused Soren of violating Section 9A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, that deals with the disqualification of legislators for government contracts.
On Friday too, Soren had held a meeting of all MLAs of the ruling alliance.
After the meeting, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya said the party has support of 50 MLAs in the 81-member Assembly and claimed that some BJP leaders were also in touch with them, reported ANI.
“We are comfortably enjoying the majority and whenever the governor asks we will prove our majority,” he added.
The BJP has demanded that the Assembly should be dissolved and elections be held for all seats in the state. | https://scroll.in/latest/1031379/jharkhand-political-crisis-after-upa-meeting-mlas-moved-to-unknown-location-to-avoid-poaching | 2022-08-27T10:45:16Z | https://scroll.in/latest/1031379/jharkhand-political-crisis-after-upa-meeting-mlas-moved-to-unknown-location-to-avoid-poaching | true | 2 |

Following the return of WWE Hall of Famer and seven-time World Champion Trish Stratus to the promotion on the latest episode of WWE Monday Night RAW in Toronto, WWE has now announced the return of another veteran superstar. As per the latest announcement by WWE, Hall of Famer and five-time world champion Kurt Angle will make his return to the red brand, during their upcoming show in Pittsburgh. The 53-year-old Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling has made occasional appearances on WWE’s TV shows ever since his General Manager storyline ended in 2018.
He fought his retirement match in 2019 during WrestleMania 35 and ended up losing at the hands of Happy Corbin. His return to the red brand certainly adds excitement to the show, as the promotion is currently gearing up for the WWE Clash at the Castle premium live show. However, it is still unclear whether he will have to do anything with the PPV.
“Looking for excitement in your Raw experience? How about an appearance from a WWE Hall of Famer who won an Olympic Gold Medal with a broken freakin' neck! Multiple-time World Champion Kurt Angle returns to Raw! Don’t miss the excitement of the red brand, next Monday,” WWE said in the statement. At the same time, Kurt Angle also shared a few posts on social media referring to his return.

Angle made his in-ring debut in 1998 and became a prominent superstar during his 21-year-long in-ring career. He won his maiden WWE World Heavyweight Championship in 2000, before picking up the title four times more in 2001, 2022, 2003, and 2006. During his decorated career as a wrestler he also became a six-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, with the last title reign coming in 2015. He also won the TNA World Tag Team Championship twice with Sting and AJ Styles, respectively.
Meanwhile, the August 29 episode of WWE Raw will also feature the finals of the Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament. On the next episode of Friday Night SmackDown, the winner of the “second chance” four-way match between Doudrop & Nikki ASH, Tamina & Dana Brooke, Xia Li & Shotzi, and Natalya & Sonya Deville will advance into the summit clash. RAW superstars Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai have already fixed their place in the finals. At the same time, Riddle and Seth Rollins can also expect to continue their brawl on the upcoming episode of RAW. They are also scheduled for a singles match in the Clash at the Castle PPV. | https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/wwe-news/wwe-raw-5-time-wwe-world-champion-to-make-his-return-in-pittsburgh-dont-miss-it-articleshow.html | 2022-08-27T10:45:48Z | https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/wwe-news/wwe-raw-5-time-wwe-world-champion-to-make-his-return-in-pittsburgh-dont-miss-it-articleshow.html | true | 1 |

UTEP Miners football vs. North Texas Mean Green: What to know
What, when, where
UTEP kicks off its season with a 7 p.m. start Saturday against North Texas in the final scheduled game of the series.
The game, part of a sell out the Sun Bowl promotion with $9.15 tickets, will be streamed on Stadium and will be carried on 95.5 FM KLAQ. As of Monday morning about 4,000 tickets remained.
This is North Texas' first (and final) trip to El Paso since 2019.
How is UTEP supposed to do?
Depending on the source, the line is either pick or North Texas by one, so this is a true toss-up. That would be in line with the outcome last year when the Mean Green won on a field goal in the final seconds.
In the official preseason Conference USA poll, North Texas was picked fifth and UTEP sixth; Texas Football magazine tabbed UTEP fourth and North Texas fifth.
Who is North Texas?
The Mean Green will be part of the exodus to the American Athletic at the end of this season so this is a farewell of sorts.
The Mean Green are coming off a bowl season, as UNT started last season 1-6 before a five-game win streak that included the last-ditch heroics against UTEP and an upset over undefeated UTSA. The Mean Green lost their bowl to Miami (Ohio).
North Texas returns quarterback Austin Aune and linebacker KD Davis has been getting some preseason All-American mention.
Formerly nicknamed the Eagles, North Texas adopted the nickname Mean Green in the 1966 season, which most versions of the origin story date to a game against UTEP when fans began chanting it. The 1966 team's defense was led by tackle "Mean" Joe Greene, widely considered one of the greatest defensive linemen in NFL history.

Olympic champion Xander Schauffele produced a grandstand finish to breathe some much-needed life into the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
World number one Scottie Scheffler, who started the week on 10 under par as the player with the most FedEx Cup points ahead of the season finale, was five shots clear after the opening round at East Lake.
And although the Masters champion remained out in front with a bogey-free 66 on Friday, he saw his lead slashed to two shots as playing partner Schauffele finished birdie, birdie, eagle in his 63.
“It’s only the second round of the tournament, so I was just trying to go out there and play solid golf,” Scheffler told Sky Sports.
“If anything I would have wished to see a few more putts going in, but at the end of the day no bogeys and keeping a clean card is pretty nice.”
With Scheffler covering the first three holes in two under par and Schauffele playing them in one over, the gap between the Ryder Cup team-mates was as much as eight shots.
However, Schauffele followed his bogey on the third with birdies on the fourth and sixth and covered the back nine in just 29 shots to keep the pressure on.
“I saw he was quite a far pace ahead, but I just kind of peeked at the board and saw a bunch of guys shot some good scores,” Schauffele said.
“So I just knew if I could kind of hang tight, control my golf ball a little better, we’re going to have plenty of looks coming in.”
Former US Open champion Jon Rahm also shot 63 to trail Scheffler by six shots, with defending FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay and Sungjae Im a stroke further back.
“It’s going to take a really strong weekend from me and hopefully not a strong one from Scottie. That’s kind of what we’re looking for,” Rahm said.
“I think tomorrow could be a good day. If I can post another good round again tomorrow and he doesn’t shoot a low one, we’ll be in position.”

NEW YORK (AP) — It was the kind of story that media reporter Brian Stelter would normally sink his teeth into — if only it didn’t involve him.
CNN said last week it was cancelling “Reliable Sources,” its 30-year-old program on the media, and letting Stelter go, part of a nascent effort by new management to reclaim a brand identity that it feels was damaged during the Trump era.
The news network, now under the Warner Discovery corporate banner and led since spring by CNN Worldwide Chairman Chris Licht, is trying to inject more balance into its programming and become less radioactive to Republicans. How and whether that can be accomplished remains a mystery.
“CNN has to figure out what it wants to be,” said Carol Costello, a former anchor there and now a journalism instructor at Loyola Marymount University.
Former President Donald Trump portrayed CNN as an enemy, and a Pew Research Center study illustrated the impact that had with his followers. In 2014, Pew found that one-third of people who identify or lean Republican said they distrusted CNN as a source for political news. By 2019, that number had shot up to 58 percent — higher distrust than The New York Times, The Washington Post or MSNBC.
And that was before the overheated 2020 election campaign and the anger over its outcome.
Last year’s firing of CNN anchor Chris Cuomo after he helped his brother, former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, behind the scenes, also hurt CNN’s reputation among Republicans, said Carlos Curbelo, a former GOP congressman from Florida.
As Trump attacked the network, CNN returned fire. Under previous leader Jeff Zucker, CNN figures became more opinionated on the air than they ever had before. Anderson Cooper once likened Trump to “an obese turtle on its back, flailing in the hot sun, realizing his time is over,” a remark he later apologized for.
“All mainstream media took a hit with the ascent of Donald Trump,” Costello said. “I really think he did a number on journalism in general, not just CNN. For a time we all played into it, and our reporting was kind of hysterical.”
CNN’s tone had a lot to do with changes in the network’s reputation, said Mark Whitaker, a veteran newsman and former CNN executive. CNN had higher ratings and more buzz under Zucker, but, Whitaker asked, “Was it worth it in terms of the way it changed the brand perception?”
Being seen as a liberal alternative to Fox News Channel isn’t an issue for a news outlet that plays up partisanship. But for a company that has sold itself as an unbiased news source for more than 40 years — to viewers, to advertisers, to cable or satellite operators — that presents a problem.
Since Licht took over, morning anchor Brianna Keilar’s occasional takedowns of Fox coverage have disappeared. Although Licht hasn’t commented publicly on Stelter’s exit, the media reporter’s criticism of Fox was a regular feature of “Reliable Sources.”
It received little notice at the time, but cable news executive John Malone, now a member of the Warner Discovery board of directors, said in a CNBC interview last November that “I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing.”
Similarly, Warner Discovery President and CEO David Zaslav said at a company town hall in April that CNN should set itself apart from a cable news industry that is dominated by “advocacy networks.” CNN needs to be about reporting, truth and facts, he said.
“If we get that, we can have a civilized society,” said Zaslav, who appointed Licht. “And without it, if it all becomes advocacy, we don’t have a civilized society.”
Licht has given few interviews to outside journalists since taking over, and a CNN spokesman turned down a request for this article.
Licht has taken steps toward the goals his bosses have elucidated. He wants CNN anchors to be conscious of a perspective that they sometime talk down to people. He wants panel discussions to be informative, not dominated by extreme points of view. He wants to resist “outrage porn.” He ordered that the on-air “breaking news” banner be reserved for real breaking news.
Licht also went to Washington to meet with Republican leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, his counterpart at the House.
Licht would like to see more Republicans appear on CNN for meaningful interviews, not necessarily to be used by them to appear tough to supporters for standing up to hostility. There have already been small signs of success in recent weeks: appearances by South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and Texas U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw.
“This is true of all three (cable news) networks: When you can get only members of one party to show up, it shows that your news division is lacking in credibility with essentially half the country,” said Curbelo, an NBC News contributor. It’s early, but Curbelo said he has liked what he’s seen with Licht so far.
The outreach with Republicans has raised some eyebrows, with Democratic strategist Kurt Bardella suggesting in a Los Angeles Times column that CNN was “eager to pander” to politicians detached from reality. And Eric Deggans, NPR’s television critic, said he’s worried about the risk of normalizing lies like the last presidential election was stolen.
“Sometimes journalists have been accused of being partisan when what they’ve really been doing is insisting upon the truth and refusing to go along with a political party that is redefining the truth to serve its own ends,” Deggans said.
CNN points out that Licht made a similar pitch to aides at President Joe Biden’s White House, showing demographic information of viewers to illustrate it would be worthwhile to appear for interviews. The network resists suggestions that lies would not be challenged, but said wants all Americans to feel their opinions are listened to.
“No matter what they do, they’ll be attacked,” Whitaker said. “Trump and others will continue to cry ‘fake news’ about anything they don’t like from the media.” But, he said, CNN has the best chance of any cable news network to reach an audience looking for a more balance in journalism.
Other visible moves are likely to come soon. Licht has been eyeing a shakeup of CNN’s morning hours and recently hired Ryan Kadro, a former CBS News colleague who handled that network’s morning show. CNN still has a hole in prime time, too: Chris Cuomo hasn’t been replaced since he was fired last December.
But what’s next remains unclear, which Deggans advised against. He called on CNN’s leaders to be clear with viewers about what’s being done. “The attitude of the new management seems to be, ‘Trust us, we have a plan.’”

Russia’s attack on a Ukrainian train station that killed more than 20 people this week is the latest in a series of strikes on the country’s railway system that some international legal scholars say may be war crimes.
While Russia claimed that it had targeted the train because it was carrying Ukrainian troops and equipment on Wednesday, an Associated Press reporter on the ground said there was no visible indication that Ukrainian troops were among the dead, who included children. If civilians were the target, experts said Thursday, the attack could be considered a war crime.
“A train station is generally a civilian object and should not be a target of attack,” said Jennifer Trahan, a clinical professor at New York University’s Center for Global Affairs.
Wednesday’s attack in Chaplyne, a small village in southeastern Ukraine, was one of the deadliest in months on the country’s extensive railway system. In the more than six months since Russia invaded Ukraine, the AP and the PBS series “Frontline” have independently verified more than 40 attacks on civilian infrastructure that could be considered war crimes. Three of those hit the country’s railway infrastructure and seven have involved local bus stops, killing more than 100 civilians. In these attacks, there has been little evidence to back up Moscow’s claims that Ukrainian troops were the target.
The deadly strike Wednesday came as Ukrainians were defiantly celebrating their Independence Day while remaining on high alert because of threats that Russia would use the occasion to mount attacks.

More than 50 people, including children, were on their way to flee Donbas when they were killed in a Russian attack on a train station in Kramatorsk in April. Photos from the aftermath showed dead bodies and abandoned luggage strewn around the station. Rail cars were crushed and hollowed out by fire.
Mykola Lukashuk, chair of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council, said during a press briefing Friday that the shelling in Chaplyne led to a fire in five carriages of the train. A family, including a 17-year-old daughter, was killed when its car was struck as it was traveling from Donetsk.
“People were being evacuated from Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, and a train was leaving from there to Lviv,” Lukashuk said.
The deputy head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, said Thursday that an 11-year-old boy died under the rubble of a nearby house and a 6-year-old died in a car fire by the station.
Tetyana Kvitnytska, deputy head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional health department, told the AP that those in Wednesday’s attack had suffered head injuries, broken limbs, burns and shrapnel wounds.
“There is no such war crime that the Russian occupiers have not yet committed on the territory of Ukraine,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said to the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said that an Iskander missile was used to carry out the attack and that 200 reservists “were destroyed on their way to the combat zone.” An AP reporter who went to the scene said no Ukrainian troops were visible among the dead.
Even if some members of the military were among the dead, the attack could still violate the laws of war if it disproportionately harmed civilians.
“If you’re going to kill a small number of troops as opposed to a large number of civilians, that’s a war crime,” said Michael Newton, a professor at Vanderbilt University’s law school and director of the international legal studies program.
Iskander missiles are expensive precision guided missiles and are not used for trivial missions, said Frank Ledwidge, visiting fellow at the Transatlantic Dialogue Center in Kyiv and a former British military intelligence officer.
“The takeaway is a deliberate strike on a civilian target to cause civilian casualties for the purpose of disrupting rail traffic of civilians throughout Ukraine,” he said.
In May, Russia used sea- and air-launched precision missiles to strike power facilities at five railway stations mostly in Lviv after claiming that the West was using the rail lines to deliver weapons to Ukraine.
It’s not only the train stations that have become targets. Dozens of civilians waiting for buses have been killed in similar attacks. The AP has counted seven incidents where civilians waiting for a bus were killed. Photos of their bodies lying in pools of blood were shared across Telegram after the fact. In Mykolaiv, five people were killed and a dozen were injured at a bus stop during a Russian attack on July 29. Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych said on Telegram at the time that Russian forces had fired cluster munitions at a crowded intersection around 10 a.m.

Co-op cuts State lending, grows SME loans
What you need to know:
- Investment in government securities increased marginally in the period to Sh183.2 billion compared to Sh182 billion previously.
- Bank slashed loans to the government to 0.6 per cent in the six months to June.
- Private sector lending helped the bank’s half-year net profits jump 55.4 per cent to Sh11.5 billion on strong growth in customer lending and payment charges.
Co-op Bank slashed loans to the government to 0.6 per cent in the six months to June, signalling a shift in focus to advancing to the private sector and small businesses.
Investment in government securities rose marginally in the period to Sh183.2 billion, compared to Sh182 billion in 2021.
The slower growth in government debt came even as the bank’s overall loan portfolio grew by Sh29 billion to Sh330 billion with the private sector getting more attention.
Private sector lending helped the bank’s half-year net profits jump 55.4 per cent to Sh11.5 billion on strong growth in customer lending and payment charges.
The jump from Sh7.4 billion in a similar period last year was propped by an 11.8 per cent growth in net interest income from Sh18.8 billion to Sh21.1 billion.
Co-op Bank also saw strong growth in non-interest income which jumped 29 per cent to Sh13.3 billion.
Lenders are cutting loans to the government as the Central Bank of Kenya raises interest rates, which has an impact on reducing the value of Treasury bonds held.
The lender’s shift signals good times for small businesses seeking capital to boost their recovery post-Covid-19.
Co-op Bank group chief executive officer -Gideon Muriuki said the lender has disbursed billions of shillings in small business loans as Co-op works with SMEs to ensure the bank maintains borrowers.
“Over 162,000 customers have taken up the MSME (micro small and medium enterprises) packages that we rolled out in 2018, and 26,943 have been trained on business management skills,” he said in a statement.
“Year to date, we have disbursed Sh12.6 billion to MSMEs through our Mobile E-Credit solution. MSMEs are a critical part of economic recovery post-covid and contribute up to 16 per cent of our total loan book.”
Banks have opened up their purse strings to the private sector recording double-digit growth for the first time in the first quarter of 2022 for close to five years.
Co-op Bank Group say they have ensured that they maintain loan book quality even as the lender ups loans to the private sector. | https://nation.africa/kenya/business/co-op-cuts-state-lending-grows-sme-loans-3927820 | 2022-08-27T11:30:02Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/business/co-op-cuts-state-lending-grows-sme-loans-3927820 | false | 1 |

Hochul announces new COVID-19 guidelines for schools, daycares
New York State schools and daycares have new guidelines for how to handle COVID-19 exposures and cases this year, Governor Kathy Hochul announced Monday in a press conference.
These new guidelines are, for the most part, relaxing quarantine rules in line with CDC guidance.
“Here in New York, we want to be fully aligned with the CDC,” Hochul said.
While not mandatory, parents are recommended to vaccinate their children ahead of the school year.
One of the biggest changes decides when students should stay home. Previous guidelines required that if an individual tested positive in a classroom, those exposed would need to stay home for 5 days, or “test-to-stay” back into the class.
The state will no longer require quarantining for those exposed to COVID-19, if they are asymptomatic. Instead, those students are advised to continue coming to class and mask for 10 days.
Individuals who test positive will still be subject to five-day isolation, and asked to wear a mask upon returning.
Random testing will no longer be required by the state, but schools and districts may still choose to do so, depending on the circumstances of COVID-19 cases.
All Wegmans pharmacies to offer vaccine for upcoming flu season
Have you thought about your flu shot yet? For the 2022-2023 flu season, all Wegmans pharmacies will be offering the influenza vaccine.
Appointments are currently available from August through mid-November. They can be scheduled in-person at any Wegmans Pharmacy during normal business hours, or online.
According to the CDC, flu season peaks between December and February. Once a person has received a flu shot, it takes about two weeks for your immune system to develop antibodies to fight off the flu.
The Mayo Clinic recommends getting vaccinated in September or October, but states that shots received even through February can help prevent later flu outbreaks.
“Getting an influenza vaccine — though not 100% effective — is the best way to prevent the misery of the flu and its complications,” the Mayo Clinic said.
According to a Wegmans representative, all pharmacies offer vaccines suitable for children, adults, and seniors. The minimum age to receive a flu vaccine in New York State is six months of age.
Flu shots do not require a prescription, and in most cases are completely covered by insurance.
New York State Fair kicks off Wednesday
The Great New York State fair is back once again, and tickets go on sale Wednesday at 8:00 a.m.

3 Arkansas police officers suspended after beating caught on camera
Three Arkansas police officers have been placed on leave after they were caught on camera beating an individual in the town of Mulberry, authorities said on Sunday.
A video posted by KARK 4 News’s Mitchell McCoy shows two officers repeatedly punching and kicking the individual’s head and body as a third officer kept the person pinned down. At one point, one of the officers appears to slam the individual’s head into the ground.
It is not clear how the encounter began or why the officers pursued the individual.
“In reference to the video circulating social media involving two Crawford County deputies, we have requested that Arkansas State Police conduct the investigation, and the deputies have been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation,” the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement .
“I hold all my employees accountable for their actions and will take appropriate measures in this matter,” the statement continued.
The Mulberry Police Department issued a similar statement, saying one of its employees was the third officer involved and had been placed on leave.
“The Arkansas State Police have been asked to investigate the incident,” the statement read.
“The officer is on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation,” it continued. “The City of Mulberry and the Mulberry Police Department takes these investigations very seriously and holds all their officers accountable for their actions. We will take the appropriate actions at the conclusion of the investigation.”
Weather Forecast: Morning rain with afternoon clearing
Rain is moving through the area this morning and we expect temperatures to climb into the middle 70s this afternoon.
By tonight the low will pull far enough away to largely strip the area of the moisture necessary for more rain. The storm system should be long gone by the night and skies clear out with lows falling into the 60s.
By Wednesday, sunshine returns as temperatures start a new movement toward building warmth.
We can’t rule out a few showers or storms Friday, but that would otherwise be the extent of any wet weather into the second half of the week.

LONDON (AP) — Elizabeth Emanuel cradles the massive scrapbook across her chest before laying it gently on the table and opening its Prussian blue covers to reveal a personal time capsule of her relationship with Princess Diana.
Emanuel got to know Diana during the months she and her then-husband, David, spent designing the future princess’ wedding dress. Four decades later, there’s a sense of intimacy as she leafs through sketches, fabric swatches and photos of Diana, displayed alongside images of the designer’s mother stitching embroidery into the gown. It’s like looking at a family album.
That sense of connection helps Emanuel understand why Diana’s death in a Paris car crash 25 years ago next Wednesday — Aug. 31, 1997 — resonated with so many people around the world.
“I think people just felt she was like family, that she cared,” Emanuel told The Associated Press. “They felt close to her because you knew every detail of her life. It was in all the press, all the time. And there was all these things going on. And you felt, you know, very much part of her life in a way. And so when her life was snatched away, it was this big void. … It was like a light being snuffed out.”
But for Emanuel, Diana wasn’t just the icon who appeared every day on TV screens and the front pages of newspapers. She was a real person who played a central role in her life and career.
The scrapbook documents that story — the story of a designer and a princess-to-be.
The tale begins with a pale pink blouse the Emanuels sent to British Vogue for a photo shoot on emerging beauties. Although they didn’t know it, the beauty destined to wear the blouse was Lady Diana Spencer, who would soon be engaged to Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne.
Diana liked the blouse so much that she asked who the designers were — then she called them. Emanuel answered the phone and made the appointment, but didn’t get her name.
So she was shocked when Diana showed up at her door. By then, the engagement had been announced and Diana was famous.
But she didn’t act like it. Emanuel remembers her wearing a little sweater and skirt and perhaps a string of pearls.
“She was so young and just so sweet and shy, and it was really fun,’’ said Emanuel, who was only a few years older than Diana. “It was a big adventure for her suddenly to see all the clothes in the showroom. And she put a lot of trust in us, really, to come up with clothes that would suit her. And for us, I mean, wow, it was just so fabulous to meet her.”
When it came time to make the wedding dress, the Emanuels’ 12-member team worked in secret to keep details of the garment under wraps. Security guards protected the frock, which was locked in a safe every night.
Newspapers offered thousands of pounds (dollars) for a sneak peak, but staff members turned them away out of respect for Diana, Emanuel said. In an era before smart phones and Facebook, the wedding dress design remained a surprise until the big day.
Emanuel compared Diana’s July 29, 1981, royal wedding at St. Paul’s Cathedral to the transformation of a chrysalis into a butterfly — or in this case a nursery school teacher in cardigans and sensible skirts into a fairytale princess.
It was the 1980s. Big was in, and Diana walked down the aisle draped in yards of lace with a 25-foot train flowing behind her.
“We went completely over the top,” Emanuel said. “I mean, we were young, just out of college. (We said,) ‘Let’s do it. Let’s go crazy. St. Paul’s (has) this huge, big aisle. Let’s put all the frills on the lace, everything and make it the ultimate fairy princess dress.’ And we did that. And I don’t think you’re going to see another one like that.”
The wedding, which was televised around the world, was just the beginning of the public’s fascination with Diana. She was rarely out of the headlines for the rest of her life, earning a reputation as “The People’s Princess” when she hugged AIDS patients, befriended orphans and championed unfashionable topics like land-mine removal.
When her marriage finally ended, the collapse played out for all to see. Daily. In detail. That, too, struck a chord with the public.
“I think when somebody dies young, it really makes an impact,” Emanuel said. “And Diana was the most famous woman on the planet. And she still is, really.’’
Emanuel has had a long, successful career, creating designs for celebrities such as Madonna and Rita Ora. But she isn’t bothered by the fact that “The Dress’’ remains a constant subject of inquiry.
“It was such a privilege and an honor to have been part of all of that, to have been part of history as well,’’ she said. “I’ll never tire of it because it was just an extraordinary period in my life and — it was just wonderful!’’

FANS were left stunned as Roma boss Jose Mourinho "magically" disappeared from a press conference.
Roma occupy Serie A's third spot following an impressive start to the season that's seen them win their first two games.
And Mourinho is hoping to guide them to a third consecutive win over Juventus in the league on Saturday afternoon.
But the Portuguese tactician chanelled his inner magician ahead of the clash by appearing to vanish in the pre-match conference.
Mourinho calmly drank a glass of water whilst sitting in the hotseat.
However, he miraculously disappeared from view shortly after the cameras started rolling.

His image was briefly blocked from the screen as someone walked past the camera lens.
But astonishingly, Mourinho was no longer in his seat when the man cleared the way.
And it isn't clear if he returned later, or where he initially disappeared to.
The former Man United boss' vanishing act amused fans on Twitter in the footage shared by Italian Football TV, aptly titled "Jose Houdino."

Football reporter Steven Moore quipped that Mourinho should've waited to use his new skill to go missing when Roma lose to Lazio.
While one fan mused: "That man can do everything!"
Another joked: "The specially talented one."
And a third added: "Now you didn't see me, now you do."
It's not the first time Mourinho's caused controversy at a press conference.

Singapore, Aug 27 (PTI) Singapore's former Indian-origin diplomat and businessman Gopinath Pillai, who helped strengthen Singapore-India ties, on Saturday came out with a book that frames episodes of personal struggles and accomplishments against milestones in the country's progress as a nation.
Titled ‘More Than the Eye Can See', the memoir was launched by Singapore's Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong at a private ceremony amongst a small group of about 40 guests at the University Cultural Centre, National University of Singapore (NUS).
Also Read | Kushe Aunsi 2022: Devotees Throng Nepal’s Bagmati Riverbank to Observe Father’s Day (See Pics).
In his address, Goh described the 85-year-old Indian-origin Singaporean diplomat as, “an upstanding member of the pioneer generation who made significant contributions to Singapore”.
“Gopi's (Gopinath Pillai) life story is also rich archival material for the Singapore Story. It is a remarkable journey of learning, determination, achievements, and contributions,” said the 81-year-old former prime minister of Singapore.
The book launch was organised and hosted by the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS) of NUS. Pillai was the founding chairman of ISAS, an appointment that he held for 17 years, till last year. He is currently the senior advisor to the think tank that pioneers the study of contemporary South Asia in this region.
“I hope Gopi's book will inspire Singaporeans to step forward to serve the country in whichever capacity. It will be a mistake if each of us believes that our personal interests can be realised without our contributing to the larger interests of the country. That applies to countries too. A country cannot advance its own interests without advancing the world's, too,“ Goh said.
Professor Tan Tai Yong, chairman of ISAS, said Pillai has led ISAS with foresight and care.
“We are all very fond of him. Ambassador Pillai's memoir shares his life experiences straight from the heart. This book contains excellent learning lessons for not only people aspiring to make a mark in public service but also to lead a fulfilling and fascinating life,” Tan said.
Born in Singapore to Malayalee parents in 1937, Ambassador Pillai spent his early childhood in India throughout the Japanese Occupation, where he witnessed the Communist Movement in Kerala firsthand.
When he returned to Singapore in 1946, he grew up in a multi-racial society taking its fledgling steps as a democracy.
“My husband has always regaled his family with fascinating stories about his childhood years in Kerala and his many pursuits in adulthood. After much persuasion, he decided to write his colourful memoirs for his friends and family, especially his two grandsons,” said Pillai's wife Shyamala Pillai.
John Vater, the co-author of the book, was similarly enchanted by Ambassador Pillai's storytelling ability when he first met him as a research associate at ISAS in 2019. They started work on Pillai's memoirs in 2020. The book is published by World Scientific Publishing.
“Ambassador Pillai's charisma as a storyteller, and his sharp memory of Singapore's early history, were strong reasons for why I wanted to work with him on this book. He brought manifold talents to the writing process. Perhaps from his journalism, he had a natural ability to frame his life engagingly,” said Vater. Structured into three parts, the book narrates Pillai's early life experience and the trajectory of his international career.
His achievement in the private sector drew the government's attention in the 1980s when he was recruited as one of Singapore's first and longest-serving Non-Resident Ambassadors (NRAs).
He served as NRA to Iran from 1989 to 2008, roughly a decade after the Islamic Revolution in 1979, and Non-Resident High Commissioner to Pakistan from 1994 to 2001. He became Ambassador-at-Large in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2008.
An astute businessman, Pillai contributed to Singapore-India relations through his ground-breaking entrepreneurship with logistics company Gateway Distriparks after Goh introduced a ‘mild India fever' in Singapore following his visit to India in the 1990s as the Prime Minister. He was honoured by the Indian government in 2012 with the Padma Shri, the fourth highest Indian civilian award.
General readers interested in Singapore's early history will enjoy the book, as well as anyone curious about the context of Singapore's development, how a certain section of India's diaspora came to reside and thrive in Singapore, and how business and diplomacy opened paths for opportunity and friendship.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Jacksonville Jaguars 3 to Watch: Last Chance to Make Impression Before Final Cuts
The Atlanta Falcons enter Saturday's preseason contest with the Jacksonville Jaguars holding 80 players on their roster.
Less than three days after the game's conclusion, Atlanta's roster will stand at 53. After five weeks of training camp, including a pair of preseason games and four joint practices, decision time is just about here for Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot.
For the players fighting to make the roster, the final opportunity to make a statement comes against Jacksonville.
Here are three Falcons to watch when the game kicks off at 3 p.m. Saturday.
KhaDarel Hodge
A fifth year pro out of Alcorn State, Hodge arrived in Atlanta earlier this offseason firmly in the roster bubble. With just one preseason game remaining, the 27-year-old appears to be in a much better position than when camp began.
With rookie first-round pick Drake London sidelined due to a knee injury, Hodge received the start against the New York Jets in Atlanta's second preseason game. Known as a special teams ace, Hodge is teetering on the edge of being a roster lock, and he can all but confirm his status with a strong outing Saturday.
Nate Landman
On last year's deadline day, Dorian Etheridge beat out Erroll Thompson in a battle of rookies for the final spot in Atlanta's linebacker room. This time around, Etheridge finds himself in a similar competition with Landman, an undrafted rookie out of Colorado.
'Smart, Athletic' OT Jake Matthews Draws Praise from Falcons Teammate
Matthews has been a model of consistency since arriving in Atlanta in 2014.
Jets WR Denzel Mims Requests Trade; Falcons Interested?
Could the Falcons add another receiver?
'Everything Matters': Falcons Close Out Preseason vs. Jaguars - Preview
The Atlanta Falcons will play their final game of the 2022 preseason in an interconference match against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Landman drew praise over the summer as a standout during OTAs, and every time Falcons coach Arthur Smith mentions the linebackers, he brings up Landman's name. With the return of Deion Jones from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list likely eliminating a roster spot at the position, the question now becomes whether there's still an opening for Landman or Etheridge.
Regardless, If Landman doesn't make the roster, expect Atlanta to at least keep him on the practice squad, but a standout game - particularly compared to Etheridge - against Jacksonville might just be enough to make the team out of camp.
Jared Bernhardt
One of the most pleasant surprises of the preseason, Bernhardt signed with the Falcons as an undrafted rookie out of Ferris State following a storied college career that featured player of the year nods and national championships in both football and lacrosse.
From catching the game-winning touchdown pass in Detroit to leading the Falcons in receiving yards against the Jets, Bernhardt has had an active, productive preseason to date. Like Hodge, Bernhardt will be looking to emerge from a cluster of receivers fighting for the final few roster spots.
Bernhardt proved himself as a punt returner against New York, showing the staff his ability to contribute on special teams in addition to making an impact offensively. As a result, Bernhardt is in a similar position to Landman, as even if the former lacrosse star doesn't make the roster, the Falcons will surely be keen to keep him on the practice squad.
Smith mentioned that Atlanta will be getting its young, roster bubble players plenty of snaps throughout the contest against the Jaguars. By all accounts, Landman and Bernhardt certainly fit the bill. Additionally, should the Falcons once again roll out their starting offense, look for Hodge to take the opening snaps.
Beyond those three players, there are plenty of storylines to monitor, with the stakes - a chance to make Atlanta's roster out of camp - the highest they've been all offseason.
Everything will unfold at 3 p.m. EST on NFL Network, with the Falcons playing their first home game of the campaign. | https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/atlanta-preseason-watch-jacksonville-jaguars-roster-cut-nate-landman-deion-jones-khadarel-hodge-jared-bernhardt-arthur-smith | 2022-08-27T12:15:28Z | https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/atlanta-preseason-watch-jacksonville-jaguars-roster-cut-nate-landman-deion-jones-khadarel-hodge-jared-bernhardt-arthur-smith | true | 1 |
On Monday’s Clash at the Castle go-home edition of RAW, new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions will be crowned.
During Friday night’s episode of SmackDown on FOX, Natalya and Sonya Deville defeated Nikki A.S.H. and Doudrop, Tamina Snuka and WWE 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke, as well as Shotzi and Xia Li, to win a Second Chance Fatal 4 Way match. After that, Natalya and Deville competed against Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah on the same show, but ultimately failed to advance past the semifinals.
After that, WWE announced that Dakota Kai and IYO SKY would challenge Rodriguez and Aliyah for the vacant WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles on the following episode of RAW.
Since Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of a RAW taping in the middle of May, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles have been vacant. On the episode of RAW that aired on August 8, WWE began the tournament that would determine new champions by having SKY and Kai defeat Brooke and Snuka. On this week’s RAW, Alexa Bliss and Asuka won their match against Nikki and Doudrop, but they were eliminated from the tournament by SKY and Kai in the semi-finals. In the first round of the SmackDown tournament, Rodriguez and Aliyah were victorious over Li and Shotzi. Zoey Stark and Nikkita Lyons, both of WWE NXT, were scheduled to compete against Deville and Natalya, but they were forced to withdraw from the tournament because of injuries. Toxic Attraction’s Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne defeated Natalya and Sonya Deville after replacing Stark and Lyons in the tag team match. Due to the fact that Dolin sustained an injury while competing, WWE decided to hold the Second Chance Fatal 4-Way Match on SmackDown.
Here is the updated line-up for Monday’s RAW from the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA:
– WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle returns to RAW in his hometown
– Riddle and Seth Rollins come face-to-face

ATLANTA (AP) — The prosecutor investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to interfere in the 2020 election in Georgia is seeking information about the alleged involvement of a Trump ally in the breach of voting equipment at a county roughly 200 miles south of her Atlanta office.
The widening of the probe highlights the latest instance in which unauthorized people appear to have gained access to voting equipment since the 2020 election, primarily in battleground states lost by Trump. Election experts have raised concerns that sensitive information shared online about the equipment may have exposed vulnerabilities that could be exploited by people intent on disrupting future elections.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is seeking to have attorney Sidney Powell, who tried persistently to overturn Trump’s loss, testify before a special grand jury seated for the investigation into possible illegal election interference. In her court petition filed Thursday, Willis said Powell is “known to be affiliated” with Trump and the Trump campaign and has unique knowledge about her communications with them and others “involved in the multi-state, coordinated efforts to influence the results of the November 2020 elections in Georgia and elsewhere.”
The scope of Willis’ criminal investigation has expanded considerably since it began, prompted by a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call in which Trump suggested Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger could “find” the votes needed to overturn Trump’s narrow election loss in the state. Among other things, Willis wrote that she wants to ask Powell about rural Coffee County, where Trump beat President Joe Biden by nearly 40 percentage points.
Emails and other records first reported this month by The Washington Post and also obtained by The Associated Press show that Powell was involved in arranging for a team from data solutions company SullivanStrickler to travel to the county’s elections office.
The records were produced in response to subpoenas issued by plaintiffs in a long-running lawsuit that alleges Georgia’s voting machines, which are manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems, are vulnerable to attack. The plaintiffs want the machines replaced by a system that uses hand-marked paper ballots.
The lawsuit filed by the Coalition for Good Governance and individual voters long predates and is unrelated to false allegations of widespread election fraud pushed by Trump and his allies.
Dominion has filed defamation lawsuits against high-profile Trump supporters, including Powell, who made false claims about Dominion voting machines being used to steal the 2020 election.
In an email sent to Powell on Jan. 7, 2021, SullivanStrickler COO Paul Maggio said he and his team were “on our way to Coffee County Georgia to collect what we can from the Election/Voting machines and systems.” He included an invoice for an “initial retainer” of $26,000 to pay for a team of four people for one day. The subject of the invoice is “Voting Machines Analysis.”
“Everything went smoothly yesterday with the Coffee County collection. Everyone involved was extremely helpful,” Maggio wrote in an email the next day. “We are consolidating all of the data collected and will be uploading it to our secure site for access by your team.”
A document listing the contents of Maggio’s hard drive shows that it includes forensic images of an election management system server, a precinct tabulator, compact flash cards and thumb drives used to program tabulators and touchscreen voting machines, a computer used to check in voters and a laptop computer supplied by Dominion. It also includes scanned images of paper ballots from the January 2021 U.S. Senate runoff election.
The company defended its actions in a statement sent by its attorney, Amanda Clark Palmer.
“SullivanStrickler was retained by and took direction from licensed, practicing attorneys to preserve and forensically copy the Dominion Voting Machines used in the 2020 election,” the statement said. “The firm had no reason to believe that, as officers of the court, these attorneys would ask or direct SullivanStrickler to do anything either improper or illegal.”
The attorneys told the firm to contact county election officials to access certain data and then to distribute it to certain other people, the statement said. The company maintains that “at the time they engaged in that work, they were operating under the good faith belief that their client was authorized to access the voting machines and servers.”
“With the benefit of hindsight, and knowing everything they know now, they would not take on any further work of this kind,” the statement said, adding that the company intends to fully cooperate with any investigation.
Willis noted that there also is “evidence in the public record” that Powell was involved in similar efforts in Michigan and Nevada around the same time. A lawyer representing Powell didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.
Ryan Germany, general counsel for the Georgia secretary of state’s office, said in a declaration filed in court on Aug. 2 that the office opened an investigation in mid-March and brought in an expert to perform a forensic inspection of the Coffee County election server. The next steps, he said, are to complete the forensic investigation and interview witnesses.
The secretary of state’s office requested help earlier this month from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which on Aug. 15 opened “a computer trespass investigation of a Coffee County elections server,” spokesperson Nelly Miles said in an email.
The Coffee County case appears similar to breaches of voting equipment elsewhere. In addition to Georgia, these include local election offices in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Colorado.
During an event last summer held by Trump ally Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO who has sought to prove voting machines are being manipulated, copies of voting systems from Mesa County, Colorado, and Antrim County, Michigan, were distributed and made available online.
A month earlier, Pennsylvania election officials decertified voting equipment used in one county — also named Fulton — after officials there allowed an outside firm access to “certain key components of its certified system, including the county’s election database, results files, and Windows systems logs.” The firm also was allowed to make copies of voting system hard drives.
In Mesa County, Colorado, Clerk Tina Peters and her deputy were indicted in connection with a May 2021 security breach at the election office. Prosecutors allege the pair were part of a “deceptive scheme” to provide access to their voting system technology to unauthorized individuals.
This week, the deputy clerk, Belinda Knisley, pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against Peters, who has denied wrongdoing and claimed she had an obligation to investigate.
Also in Colorado, state election officials have been investigating a potential breach in Elbert County, where they say the clerk made two copies of the county’s voting system and provided them to two attorneys not authorized to have them.
In Antrim County, Michigan, a judge had allowed a forensic exam of voting equipment after a brief mix-up of 2020 election results led to a lawsuit alleging fraud. The lawsuit was dismissed, but somehow a copy of the voting system ended up being distributed publicly at the Lindell event, according to attendees.
Michigan authorities also are investigating security breaches at four local election offices that are alleged to have occurred between March and late June 2021. | https://www.keloland.com/news/politics/ap-trump-election-probe-in-georgia-cites-voting-system-breach/ | 2022-08-27T12:40:16Z | https://www.keloland.com/news/politics/ap-trump-election-probe-in-georgia-cites-voting-system-breach/ | false | 28 |

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine six months ago, more than 12 million Ukrainians have fled the country. As Ukrainians continue to be displaced across Europe, there’s also the very real fear of Russia’s plans to displace Ukrainian culture altogether.
Even before declaring their independence in the 1991, Ukraine has always differentiated their own culture from Russia’s. The food, the language, and art is unique to Ukraine, despite Russian propaganda stating otherwise. The Russian army has targeted schools, hospitals, and Ukrainian homes—but they’ve also destroyed Ukrainian art galleries and looted an estimated 2,000 artworks. The Cultural Heritage Monitoring Lab, run by the Virginia Museum of Natural History in association with the Smithsonian, has already logged more than 110 memorials destroyed by Russian weapons.
Art can be dismissed as something frivolous, especially during times of war. However, art offers a lens into understanding a situation that seems incomprehensible. It can be a means of reigniting optimism during trying times and even a means of fighting back without the use of weapons.
Since the invasion, many Ukrainian artists have gone on fundraising tours, performed poetry at the Grammys, and have even joined the war itself. We spoke to three Ukrainian artists across different disciplines to hear about their thoughts about creating art and their hope for a better future.
Fo Sho, musicians
The Ukrainian hip-hop trio fled from Kyiv to Germany at the start of the war. During this time. sisters Betty, Miriam, and Siona Endale haven’t written any new raps or songs, nor have they turned on the radio. “You can imagine we’re musicians and we couldn’t listen to music,” Betty says. “We’re constantly watching the news, chatting with our people. We also work on evacuating people and gathering donations for the needs of the army.” But this invasion isn’t much of a surprise to them. To Fo Sho, Russian president Vladimir Putin’s actions in Crimea back in 2014 hinted at larger plans in the future. And that intuition led them to write the song “U Cry Now” for the Eurovision contest in 2020.
They didn’t win. But Betty says they knew Ukraine would become a “hot topic.”
“The song has become so relevant now,” she says. “It’s exactly about the war.” As hip-hop artists, the roots of their music is grounded in rebellion and protest. The war hasn’t defeated them, but only gives them more ammo to go after their target: Putin. But for now, the band is focusing their efforts on helping out in whatever way they can. It’s a common thought that artists are meant to conceptualize a crisis as quickly as they can. But for Fo Sho, they won’t be entering the studio anytime soon as they prefer to wait until the dust finally settles.
“In the beginning my first reaction was anger. I was really angry so I wrote a rap about Putin, but I’ll finish that song later,” Betty says. “I want to release it when we’re a bit closer to a victory, because the song is very bold. It’s a protest song.”
Yelena Moskovich, author, visual artist
Like everyone else, poet and author Yelena Moskovich has been reading and learning more about the history that has led to the war in Ukraine. And she notes that as an artist, she feels she’s in a position to be a political ambassador of sorts for her country. “Questions like ‘how are you’ are well-meaning, but also fatiguing, because not only are you sharing how you are but you’re also somehow like the representative for the geopolitical situation,” she says.
Moskovich’s outlet has been making personal collages with photos of her family in Ukraine. “It was a bit unexpected,” she says. “It came quite intuitively.” And that’s been central to Moskovich’s approach to creating during a time of crisis. “There’s nothing wrong with struggling or stepping back. I don’t know why we have such a pressure to create despite everything,” she says of not immediately turning around art about Ukraine for public consumption.
“There’s a moment to mourn and there’s a moment to not be productive,” she says. “Why not use that time to reconnect to even a worthiness in this state that feels completely unproductive?”
Lika Spivakovska, artist
Before the war, Lika Spivakovska owned two art galleries in Ukraine. And as an artist herself, she understands the importance of preserving art. Many galleries have rushed to move their works to more secure places as buildings continue to be destroyed. But Spivakovska figured the art would be even safer in another place: the internet. When the Russians made the move to burn down her art gallery, she and others escaped with what they could. She asked Ukrainian artists to submit their works and she partnered with an NFT gallery in Puerto Rico to auction them off with proceeds going toward helping Ukraine.
“I will tell you that I had no idea how NFTs works at all,” Spivakovska says. “But time was running fast, so I just did it.” The Ukraine Gallery is on OpenSea and has gathered nearly 600 works, which Spivakovska sees as a running chronicle of the conflict.
“This is war by the eyes of our artists and children who suffer from war,” she says. “We show the world what we are facing and what we are thinking and what we’re feeling. I think this just proves that Ukrainian people are very talented people with kind hearts and beautiful souls—we even scream and cry by doing art.” | https://www.fastcompany.com/90754784/how-ukrainian-artists-are-resisting-russias-war?partner=feedburner&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feedburner+fastcompany&utm_content=feedburner | 2022-08-27T12:46:08Z | https://www.fastcompany.com/90754784/how-ukrainian-artists-are-resisting-russias-war?partner=feedburner&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feedburner+fastcompany&utm_content=feedburner | false | 3 |

The University of Wyoming made a handful of starting designations when it released its depth chart Tuesday afternoon, but the Cowboys declined to officially name their No. 1 quarterback for Saturday’s season opener at Illinois.
Illini coach Bret Bielema has yet to name a starting signal-caller for this week, as well, although all signs point toward Syracuse transfer Tommy Devito taking the first snaps.
As for Wyoming, Utah State transfer Andrew Peasley worked exclusively with the first-team offense during the 30 minutes of live work at training camp that was open to the media. Returners Hank Gibbs and Jayden Clemons, Snow College product Evan Svoboda and high school signee Caden Becker are the other quarterbacks listed on the Pokes’ roster.
“I don’t know what Bret has said, but we will name a starter to be announced,” UW coach Craig Bohl said.
One aspect about Peasley that his UW teammates and coaches appreciate is his ability to stay even-keeled, and not get too high or too low, regardless of the situation.
The junior notes that this wasn’t always the case. However, learning from former Utah State and current Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love — who was the starter for the Aggies during his first two years at the college level — helped him grow significantly in this area.
“That took some practice for me through the years,” Peasley said. “When I first got to college, I was pretty antsy — I was always up and then down if I made a good play or whatever. I just kind of learned to stay balanced, for the sake of other people, too. If you get too high on things, you build everyone up, and then if they see you get too low, they’re going to follow you.
“A big aspect was Jordan Love. He was the same guy all the time — just mellow. If we’d be losing, he’d still come to the sideline with the same level head. I kind of looked up to him a lot.”
Despite spending the past four years with a Mountain West rival, junior receiver Wyatt Wieland says it didn’t take long for Peasley to emerge as one of the leaders of the offense.
“The first thing that comes to mind is Peasley’s leadership, and how natural it is for him coming into a program he hasn’t been with,” Wieland said. “He really came in clicking with the guys, and nothing was forced. It didn’t seem like he demanded respect from anyone, but he got it pretty quickly from a lot of guys. And also his ability to extend plays and put an accurate ball on you is something that excites us receivers.”
Depth chart notes
There were two notable omissions from the Cowboys’ depth chart, with backup running back Dawaiian McNeely and defensive end Sabastian Harsh both being unavailable this weekend due to injuries. Bohl did not provide further information on the nature of these setbacks, or how long they might be out.
DeVonne Harris, Braden Siders and Oluwaseyi Omotosho are all expected to see playing time at defensive end, with no definitive starters being named. Redshirt freshmen Joey Braasch and D.Q. James are listed as the top backups to junior Titus Swen at running back, although the Pokes intend to lean more heavily on their No. 1 back than they have in recent years, when they’ve utilized at least two players on a regular basis.
Four starters — tackles Frank Crum and Eric Abojei, center Nofoafia Tulafono and right guard Emmanuel Pregnon — are penciled in on the offensive line. Left guard is still up in the air, but Bohl said that Zach Watts and Jack Walsh have “practiced well enough to play,” and both will see the field on Saturday.
Weakside linebacker is a spot that had some competition during the offseason, but sophomore Shae Suiaunoa showed enough over the past month to be declared the starter on Tuesday. Bohl says Michigan State transfer Cole DeMarzo will also see playing time, but the bulk of the reps will go to Suiaunoa.
Returning sophomore Cam Stone is listed as one of the starters at cornerback, with either Deron Harrell and Jakorey Hawkins — who transferred from Wisconsin and Ole Miss, respectively — set to start opposite of him. Regardless of who the No. 1 guy is, though, the Cowboys plan to rotate all three at the position.
UW didn’t name a starting punter, with 2021 starter Ralph Fawaz and Texas State transfer Clayton Stewart competing for the job. Stone and sophomore receiver Joshua Cobbs are slated to return kicks for the Pokes, with junior Caleb Cooley listed as the No. 1 punt returner. | https://www.wyomingnews.com/rawlinstimes/sports/pokes-join-illinois-in-leaving-no-1-qb-unannounced/article_e6cf3ff4-23bc-11ed-824f-7390b638f698.html | 2022-08-27T12:57:05Z | https://www.wyomingnews.com/rawlinstimes/sports/pokes-join-illinois-in-leaving-no-1-qb-unannounced/article_e6cf3ff4-23bc-11ed-824f-7390b638f698.html | false | 1 |

California wants to drive a stake into the heart of gas-powered vehicles.
State regulators approved a policy Thursday that will ban the sale of new gas cars by 2035 in what is the country's largest auto market.
It's part of an ambitious plan to fight climate change by accelerating the transition to an electric future, and it's a decision a handful of states are expected to follow.
Despite the strong demand for electric cars, sales made up only 3% of total car sales last year.
The race now is for automakers to increase the production of electric vehicles, but that alone won't be enough.
Analysts say the industry faces several challenges in ending sales of gas-powered cars by 2035.
Electric vehicles are still really expensive
The average price of an electric vehicle is currently $66,000 — well beyond the means of many people.
"That's not going to fit in a lot of people's monthly budgets at this point in time," says Jessica Caldwell, executive director of Insights at Edmunds. "They [automakers] have to introduce the more expensive, more costly, higher-margin vehicles first to make the money to start to finance some of the lower-cost vehicles."
Car companies like Chevrolet and General Motors are aiming to release more-affordable options in the coming years. A key provision of President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act also provides a revamped $7,500 tax credit when buying a new electric car, although it has a number of caveats.
But to make cars more affordable, electric vehicles will need to make batteries more cost-effective.
"The batteries are simply more expensive than the internal combustion engine," says Carla Bailo, president and CEO of the Center for Automotive Research. "Most manufacturers are saying by 2025 batteries will be on par with the cost of an internal combustion engine and when that happens, that will definitely help bring the price down."
However, making batteries cheaper presents another challenge.
China dominates the critical minerals market
China currently dominates the rare earth mineral market and the auto industry has long relied on the country to source EV batteries.
The Biden administration is pushing automakers to reduce their dependence on China, but that's easier said than done.
"Something in the order of about 90% of the lithium that's used in batteries is processed in China right now, which is not a desirable situation," says Sam Abuelsamid, an analyst with Guidehouse Insights.
And finding new sources or partners won't be easy.
"Obtaining minerals from places with which we have trade agreements is going to be the biggest challenge because there's huge competition for that," says Michelle Krebs, executive analyst with Cox Automotive. "Everybody's scrambling to cut deals for the minerals."
But even if companies are able to ramp up production, they could run into another problem.
The EV infrastructure is still pretty limited
Not only are there too few charging stations across the country, many existing stations don't always work.
A recent survey by J.D. Power found that the limited availability and reliability of charging stations is a key factor holding people back from buying electric vehicles.
The federal government is spending $7.5 billion to expand the country's charging infrastructure.
But even if it gets there, it's not clear how much an already fragile and vulnerable electric grid can handle.
Then, there's another hurdle.
Adjusting the auto industry's workforce
Embracing an electric future and accelerating the mass adoption of electric vehicles will require automakers to adjust their workforce.
Companies will need engineers with a different set of skills for this transition.
"They're not going to be designing new transmissions, but instead they need people with the skills to design electric motors and electrical architectures," says Abuelsamid.
Analysts expect to see companies lay off some workers while hiring in departments geared toward electric vehicles in the coming years.
From ramping up production to revamping the workforce, the transition is unlikely to be a smooth process for buyers, drivers and — especially — the auto industry, but transitions rarely are.
"They're bumpy and I think there are going to be some things that are unpredictable," says Krebs. "So buckle up."

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@elevatingincome.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one elevatingincome.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

- Elon Musk had twins in late 2021 with Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink.
- Zilis told colleagues the twins were conceived via in vitro fertilization, Reuters reported Friday.
- She also insisted that she did not have a romantic relationship with Musk, Reuters said.
The Neuralink executive who had twins with Tesla CEO Elon Musk told colleagues the pair conceived via in vitro fertilization and did not have a romantic relationship, Reuters reported on Friday.
The billionaire quietly welcomed twins in November 2021, Insider's Julia Black reported in July, citing a confidential court filing. The children's mother, Shivon Zilis, is a top executive at Musk's brain-computer interface company, Neuralink.
Since the Insider report, Zilis, 36, told some of her Neuralink colleagues that she was never in a romantic relationship with Musk and that the twins were conceived via IVF, five people familiar with the situation told Reuters.
Reuters couldn't establish the accuracy of Zilis' account. Musk did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Zilis has continued to work under Musk as the director of operations and special projects at Neuralink.
The company's 62-page employee handbook prohibits "personal relationships" between anyone who is in a more senior role due to potential conflicts of interest, Reuters reported.
But Neuralink accepted Zilis' description of her relationship with Musk as non-romantic, allowing her to continue to work with him, Reuters reported.
Neurolink did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Zilis and Musk's twins were born weeks before the Tesla CEO and musician Claire Boucher, also knowns as Grimes, had their second child via surrogate in December.
The twins are Musk's second set, having fathered twins and triplets with former wife and Canadian author Justine Wilson.
He also has two children, X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Sideræl, with Grimes.
Musk confirmed earlier this month that he has nine children with three women and would prefer "civilization went out with a bang than a whimper and adult diapers."
The billionaire has previously claimed that a declining birth rate combined with the rise of artificial intelligence could result in "not enough people" being in the world.
"Far too many people are under the illusion that Earth is overpopulated, even though birth rate trends are so obviously headed to population collapse," Musk tweeted last month. | https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-neuralink-exec-twins-via-ivf-no-romance-report-2022-8 | 2022-08-27T13:04:24Z | https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-neuralink-exec-twins-via-ivf-no-romance-report-2022-8 | false | 4 |
Direction of Florida public education before voters in primary election
The big story: Floridians have heard for months how important their local school board elections are this fall in setting the future course for public education.
Today’s the day they find out which direction the schools might be headed.
After days of early and mail-in voting, the primary election concludes when the polls close at 7 p.m. and the tallies start rolling in. Voters around the state will learn whether candidates backing Gov. Ron DeSantis’ agenda — many of whom benefited from DeSantis campaign financial backing — won spots, or if those supporting a more traditional view of public schools take the day.
DeSantis spent time in the days leading up to the election stumping for some of his favored hopefuls, the Miami Herald reports. More from the Herald-Tribune.
Some observers worry that the partisan tone of the nonpartisan races could shift the focus of school boards toward politics to the detriment of children, Florida Phoenix reports. More from NPR.
The board races are not the only ones up for consideration. Several school districts including Hillsborough and Pasco counties have asked voters to approve sales or property tax referendums to bolster their financial bottom lines.
Marketing those initiatives can prove tough for district officials, who are not supposed to use their taxpayer funded positions to advocate for the questions even as they declare the need. They try to walk a fine line of providing information for voters without electioneering.

‘My husband saw him in the bar area and told him that we had just gotten married,’ said the bride.
Actor Keanu Reeves attended a wedding after being invited by the groom, who had just met at the bar of a hotel where he was staying, in the countryside of England.
“My husband saw him in the bar area and told him that we had just gotten married and invited Keanu to say hi and have a drink with us if he wanted to,” the bride, Nikki Roadnight, told Newsweek.
After an hour, Reeves appeared at the celebration. “It was all so much fun and I went to say hi to him and introduce myself. I offered him a drink but he declined and said he had just been on a long flight so couldn’t stay long but he was nice and friendly and congratulated us on the wedding.”
The actor then took a picture with some of the guests and with Nikki and her husband, James, and their 5-year-old daughter.
“My mom Jo took pictures and told everyone to yell ‘Speed’ (the original title for ‘Maximum Speed’) as she took the picture. We laughed since this is one of her older movies. We’re huge fans. I absolutely laugh. loved ‘Matrix’ and we’re also huge fans of the ‘John Wick’ movies too. It was really cool.” | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/27/keanu-reeves-appears-at-a-wedding-party-after-meeting-his-fiance-at-a-bar-in-england/ | 2022-08-27T13:06:47Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/27/keanu-reeves-appears-at-a-wedding-party-after-meeting-his-fiance-at-a-bar-in-england/ | false | 1 |
KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 27): Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the party would be organising a petition drive to push for Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s royal pardon.
He said all branch and division members would be instructed to participate to show their support for their former president who was incarcerated last week.
“We need to be ready and support the royal pardon petition campaign when the time comes.
“We leave it to the wisdom of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to evaluate and implement it later,” said Ahmad Zahid during his special briefing for Umno members today.
Ahmad Zahid said that was one of four measures that party members would be undertaking after the briefing.
He also said Najib’s Facebook posts would be compiled and published.
“The thought and spirit of this writing must be polished and used constantly as a ‘live’ weapon that Umno can deploy against our political enemies.
“Umno members should also each write a note and give words of encouragement and thanks to him (Najib).
“The headquarters will collect them into a letter from the people to give him solace during his confinement,” he said.
Among the other speakers at the event today were Najib’s children Datuk Mohd Nizar Najib and Nooryana Najib, as well as his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.
Nooryana shared her last interaction with her father before he was sent to prison, during which he handed her a tie.
“He told me, ‘Please keep this tie for me. I love this tie’,” she said while holding up the accessory.
Meanwhile, Nizar, who has been touted as a replacement for his father in the Pekan parliamentary constituency, said that while expected, it was still hard for the family to accept the court’s decision.
“It felt like we had been kicked and slapped many times. That was how painful it was for us,” he said.
He said his family would remain strong in the face of Najib’s jailing. – Malay Mail | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/08/27/zahid-umno-to-start-petition-drive-for-najibs-royal-pardon/ | 2022-08-27T13:09:54Z | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/08/27/zahid-umno-to-start-petition-drive-for-najibs-royal-pardon/ | true | 2 |
Ukraine: Russia fires on cities not far from nuclear plant
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces fired missiles and artillery on Ukrainian-held areas across the river from Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, authorities said Saturday as concern persisted about safety at the Russian-controlled plant after it was temporarily knocked offline.
Grad missiles and artillery shells hit the cities of Nikopol and Marhanets, each about 10 kilometers (6 miles) and across the Dnieper River from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, said Valentyn Reznichenko, governor of Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region.
Russian forces occupied the nuclear plant complex early in the war in Ukraine, and Ukrainian workers have kept it running. Each side has repeatedly accused the other of shelling the complex, raising fears that the fighting could trigger a catastrophe.
Authorities began distributing iodine tablets Friday to residents who live near the plant in case of a radiation leak. The move came a day after the plant was temporarily knocked offline because of what officials said was fire damage to a transmission line.
Recent satellite images from Planet Labs showed fires burning around the complex over the last several days.
GRAPHIC WARNING: The following video may contain disturbing content.
The U.N.’s atomic energy agency has been trying to send a team in to inspect and help secure the plant. Officials said preparations for the visit were underway, but it remained unclear when it might take place.
Ukraine has claimed Russia is using the power plant as a shield by storing weapons there and launching attacks from around it. Moscow, for its part, accuses Ukraine of recklessly firing on the nuclear complex.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, one person was killed and another wounded in Russian firing in the Mykolaiv region, local government officials said. Mykolaiv city is an important Black Sea port and shipbuilding center.
The governor of the eastern Donetsk region, Pavlo Kyrylenko, said Saturday that two people were killed in Russian firing on the city of Bakhmut, a significant target for Russian and separatist forces seeking to take control of the parts of the region they do not already hold.

Arsenal’s Tielemans transfer could be HIJACKED by Liverpool as Reds could make shock move for wantaway Leicester star
LIVERPOOL could hijack Arsenal's transfer pursuit of Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans, according to reports.
Tielemans, 25, has been heavily linked with a move to North London this summer.
Arsenal have held an interest in signing him since the transfer window opened in June.
But, no official bid has been placed yet.
And with deadline day looming, Liverpool could now step in as Jurgen Klopp continues his search for a new midfielder.
According to transfer guru Ben Jacobs, the Reds could swoop in and place an offer for Tielemans, who has made it clear that he wants to leave.
Last week, Brendan Rodgers hinted that the Belgium international had become distracted by the prospect of a transfer.
He left him out of Leicester's starting line-up ahead of the club's 2-1 defeat to Southampton on Saturday, claiming he was "not in the right mindset" to play.
Tielemans has less than one year remaining on his current deal so Leicester are willing to accept a cut-price offer of just £20million for his services.
Liverpool are on the hunt for a new playmaker following their poor start to the season.

Young star Harvey Elliot has since been used to fill the void in midfield while club chiefs scramble to make a new addition before the transfer window shuts next week. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9368264/arsenals-tielemans-transfer-hijacked-liverpool-leicester/ | 2022-08-27T13:18:32Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9368264/arsenals-tielemans-transfer-hijacked-liverpool-leicester/ | false | 4 |

Former WWE Producer Says CM Punk's Rumored Backstage Heat is "Not Just Because of Colt Cabana"
Lineal AEW World Champion CM Punk once again has the wrestling world's attention. The Best in the World made his highly-anticipated return to All Elite Wrestling two weeks ago, and it only took one minute of his subsequent week's promo to create the the headlining story for every news cycle. To many's surprise, Punk opened last week's AEW Dynamite by calling out Hangman Page for a rematch, which he did not answer. This is because that part of the promo was not part of the script, and reports after the matter claimed that Punk went into business for himself by challenging his former rival.

Wrestling Legend Says AEW is Getting "Exactly" Like How WCW Became
All Elite Wrestling finds itself in an unfamiliar position as the company approaches its signature show. While main event stars like Bryan Danielson, Kenny Omega, and Lineal AEW World Champion CM Punk have all recently been cleared for competition, fans can't help but feeling a lingering sense of tension backstage. A big reason for that is what went down on last Wednesday's edition of AEW Dynamite, when Punk went off script and called out Hangman Page for a rematch. Many reportedly felt this was unfair to Hangman, who is well-liked among the roster, because he was put in a no-win scenario: either remain in the locker room and not answer the challenge or go against the script and interrupted a segment he wasn't scheduled to be part of.

There have been many changes to WWE both on and off screen recently, with the biggest of those changes being Vince McMahon retiring and John Laurinaitis being released from his position as Head of Talent Relations. The retirement and release came following allegations of hush money being paid towards women they had sexual relations with in order to keep the women's silence (via Wall Street Journal). One former WWE Superstar who was released in the past year, John Morrison, discussed his honest thoughts on Laurinaitis and his behind-the-scenes activities.

What is Boston Celtics reserve forward Grant Williams working on in the 2022 NBA offseason?
What is Boston Celtics reserve forward Grant Williams working on in the 2022 NBA offseason?
The former Tennessee player had an impressive 2021-22 campaign, improving his profile within the ball club from that of an occasional contributor to a key part of the team’s repertoire on both ends of the court. His ability to connect from deep and defensive versatility made him a critical part of the Celtics’ postseason rotation.
Now, he is trying to develop his game, and he sat down for an interview with Heavy’s Jack Simone to talk it over. While we will not give away everything he has planned for self-betterment this offseason, he wants to expand his strengths.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear the full discussion between Simone and Williams on what the former Vol hopes to improve on this offseason.

Ultra-short-period planets are small, compact worlds that whip around their stars at close range, completing an orbit — and a single, scorching year — in less than 24 hours. How these planets came to be in such extreme configurations is one of the continuing mysteries of exoplanetary science.
Now, astronomers have discovered an ultra-short-period planet (USP) that is also super light. The planet is named GJ 367 b, and it orbits its star in just eight hours. The planet is about the size of Mars, and half as massive as the Earth, making it one of the lightest planets discovered to date.
Orbiting a nearby star that is 31 light years from our own sun, GJ 367 b is close enough that researchers could pin down properties of the planet that were not possible with previously detected USPs. For instance, the team determined that GJ 376 b is a rocky planet and likely contains a solid core of iron and nickel, similar to Mercury’s interior.
Due to its extreme proximity to its star, the astronomers estimate GJ 376 b is blasted with 500 times more radiation than what the Earth receives from the sun. As a result, the planet’s dayside boils at up to 1,500 degrees Celsius. Under such extreme temperatures, any substantial atmosphere would have long vaporized away, along with any signs of life, at least as we know it.
But there is a chance that the planet has habitable partners. Its star is a red dwarf, or M dwarf — a type of star that typically hosts multiple planets. The discovery of GJ 367 b around such a star points to the possibility for more planets in this system, which could help scientists understand the origins of GJ 376 b and other ultra-short-period planets.
“For this class of star, the habitable zone would be somewhere near a month-long orbit,” says team member George Ricker, senior research scientist in MIT’s Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research. “Since this star is so close by, and so bright, we have a good chance of seeing other planets in this system. It’s like there’s a sign saying, ‘Look here for extra planets!’”
The team’s results appear today in the journal Science. The study was led by researchers from the Institute of Planetary Research at the German Aerospace Center, in collaboration with an international group of researchers, including MIT co-authors Ricker, Roland Vanderspek, and Sara Seager.
Transit tests
The new planet was discovered by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an MIT-led mission, of which Ricker is principal investigator. TESS monitors the sky for changes in brightness of the nearest stars. Scientists look through TESS data for transits, or periodic dips in starlight that indicate a planet is crossing and briefly blocking a star’s light.
For about a month in 2019, TESS recorded a patch of the southern sky that included the star GJ 376. Scientists at MIT and elsewhere analyzed the data, and detected a transiting object with an ultra-short, eight-hour orbit. They ran several tests to make sure the signal was not from a “false positive” source such as a foreground or background eclipsing binary star.
After confirming the object was indeed an ultra-short-period planet, they then observed the planet’s star more closely, using the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS), an instrument installed on the European Southern Observatory’s telescope in Chile.
From these measurements, they determined the planet to be among the lightest planets discovered to date, with a radius that is 72 percent, and a mass that is 55 percent, that of Earth’s. Such dimensions indicate that the planet likely has an iron-rich core.
The researchers then whittled down various possibilities for the planet’s interior composition and found the scenario that best fit the data showed that an iron core likely makes up 86 percent of the planet’s interior, similar to the makeup of Mercury.
“We’re finding a Mars-sized planet that has the composition of Mercury,” says Vanderspek, principal research scientist at MIT. “It’s among the smallest planets detected to date, and it’s spinning around an M dwarf on a very tight orbit.”
As scientists continue to study GJ 367 b and its star, they hope to detect signals of other planets in the system. The properties of these planets — such as their spacing and orbital orientation — could provide clues to how GJ 367 b and other ultra-short-period planets came to be.
“Understanding how these planets get so close to their host stars is a bit of a detective story,” says TESS team member Natalia Guerrero. “Why is this planet missing its outer atmosphere? How did it move close in? Was this process peaceful or violent? Hopefully this system will give us a little more insight.”
This research was supported in part by NASA.
CNN reporter Ashley Strickland writes that NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an MIT-led mission, has discovered an exoplanet approximately the size of Mars where a year lasts for about eight hours. “Astronomers are eager to learn more about these small planets that quickly spin around their stars in less than 24 hours because they are not sure how they form and end up in such an extreme orbit,” writes Strickland.

COVID-19The U.S. no longer asks foreign tourists to quarantine — but still requires vaccinations (cbsnews.com)

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 83%. (I'm a bot)
No foreign visitors to the U.S. are urged to quarantine in the U.S. after arriving, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, as part of new COVID-19 travel guidance published this week by the agency. The agency's travel recommendations no longer make any distinction between whether travelers are "Up to date" on their COVID-19 vaccines. The CDC last significantly updated its travel guidance in June, when the agency said it would no longer require negative COVID-19 tests before flights into the U.S. The changes come as the latest COVID-19 wave driven by the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of Omicron appears to be easing nationwide.

With the ‘90s still on my mind, let’s take a trip into the cellar to pull a bottle of vintage Aug. 29, 1992, Journal off the racks and let the aroma of local odds and ends fill your senses.
On the front page, a centerpiece photo of Vernon Uphoff of rural Lerna standing in front of his 400- by 75-foot garden that he said “keeps him busy.” I remember the time my parents’ garden kept me busy. I’m the one who laid the stones for the walking path. All that time playing Tetris really paid off, I guess. I must admit I miss the days when every once in a while I’d open the mail here and find locally-taken pictures of some weirdly shaped gourd, tuber or cucurbit. We’re all proud of something, right?
There’s also Doug Lawhead’s photo of harness racing at the Cumberland County Fair, apparently delayed due to rain, forcing officials to present “three days of racing in one afternoon.” I’d like to think of myself as being interested in all sorts of things, but if you’re the type who could sit through that, more power to you. How many people are involved in harness racing in this area? Is there a circuit for it? Where do you practice? Why have I never seen one of those little chariots anywhere? You’d think you’d have to take them to the car wash eventually.
On the Nation page we’ve got hot button topics long passed by. When’s the last time you heard anyone talk about Somalia or Sarajevo? Oh…wait…,” Undercooked wieners recalled.” Now that’s news.
On the Local page, there’s a “Folk Arts Festival” at Morton Park in Charleston, featuring “Prairie Home Companion” regular Greg Brown, names I’m sure mean something to those of you Saturday morning radio listeners who didn’t realize their receiver has a knob. For those that don’t, “Prairie Home Companion” was your number one source for folksy tales of Mrs. McHardy’s apple pies cooling on the windowsill being continually swiped by some half-soused passer-by. Maybe I’m just more of a Click and Clack kind of guy.
Speaking of food, there’s plenty to be found in the always-interesting “notices” section, including Saturday specials of shrimp and veal parmesan or…um…liver and onions, at the still-missed Tomasos. Oh, and someone seeking anyone who witnessed a hit and run in the parking lot of Vette’s Teen Club … on the morning of BagelFest. Now there’s a story we’ll sadly probably never get to the bottom of.
And if Vette’s was a bit too rough and tumble an establishment for you, you might want to hit up Club Oasis on Broadway Avenue in Mattoon for “The Carl Dean Show,” performing “the sounds of Jerry Lee Lewis.” Folks, this boxed ad was about as big as a postage stamp and the included photo of Carl Dean only occupied about half of that, so all I could really see is what looked like a guy in a Miami Vice jacket standing with his hands on a piano.
Well, I’ll be if after ten seconds of research I didn’t find the full version of that photo online and I stand corrected … he’s got his leg up on it too. Apparently Carl was a rockabilly performer of some renown who gigged quite a bit in the Southern Illinois area with his band the “Madcats”. Someone with the old 45s still in their garage, please advise.
If movies are more your thing we’ve got “Single White Female” (still holds up); “Unforgiven” (still never seen it); “Honeymoon in Vegas” (same); “Rapid Fire” (um…with action movie b-lister Jeff Speakman?); and “Pet Sematary Two” (saw it, but don’t remember anything other than it’s the rare sequel that spells out the “Two”).
My horoscope for the day would have been “Don’t hide your light under a bushel should you meet someone appealing,” which I think is supposed to be a pun; the last panel of Garfield has Jon screaming “I’m watching television with a cat!”; Jacoby on Bridge transcribed a particularly difficult hand from the quadrennial World Team Olympiad in Salsomaggiore, Italy with the spoiler “West overruffed with the four”; and the caption for the Jumble cartoon was “What do you call a bunch of dopey cows?”
And then I discovered how writing one of these columns as I flip through the paper page by page can really turn around and bite you, because all the way on page nine there’s a full-page spread titled “Tornado! Five die, 60 injured on deadly Sunday in Lake Mattoon” with some pretty gnarly photos of local destruction that somehow look worse in 30-year-old black and white. Sigh. Good to know I got all that stuff about Garfield and rockabilly out of the way, right?
Where in the world was I when this happened? I remember only one big tornado going through Mattoon, but I was in high school, because my buddy Tim called me one Saturday morning to tell me I slept through it. But in 1992, I was still in Cooks Mills. Given how scared I was of tornados as a kid, you’d think I’d remember.
But upon closer inspection I just realized that the piece, written by then staff intern “J.A. Winders” was actually about the Lake Mattoon Tornado of Aug. 21, 1977. Talk about a misleading headline. Hey J.A, nice work, but leave the Throwback stuff to me.
So with that hitch out of the way, let’s just call all that the news that was, both 30 and 45 years ago, this week.
Well, except for Jeff Speakman. He was actually the star of “The Perfect Weapon.” I’d hate for some smart mouth to catch me on that years from now.

Giants Even Series In Modesto With 6-2 Victory
August 27, 2022 - California League (CalL) - San Jose Giants News Release
The San Jose Giants evened their series in Modesto with a 6-2 victory over the Nuts on Friday night at John Thurman Field. Trevor McDonald tossed five strong innings in his start, Jose Cruz was excellent in long relief and three extra-base hits keyed the Giants offensively in the win. San Jose (65-53, 25-27 second half) and Modesto have now split the first four games of their crucial series this week.
McDonald (6-3) earned the win after limiting the Nuts to a pair of runs during his five-inning performance. He gave up four hits, walked three and struck out four. Cruz then faced the minimum nine hitters over his three scoreless innings out of the bullpen before Ben Madison closed out Modesto with a perfect bottom of the ninth.
The Giants never trailed on Friday as a two-run top of the first give San Jose the lead before the Nuts came to bat. Hayden Cantrelle led off the game with a triple to deep right center field and immediately scored when the next batter, Aeverson Arteaga, grounded a single into left. Arteaga was eventually at second base with two outs and would score the second run of the inning after Nuts starter Sam Carlson uncorked back-to-back wild pitches.
McDonald breezed through the first two innings yielding only one single while registering four strikeouts before the Giants added to their lead with a two-run top of the third. Back-to-back singles from Rayner Santana and Cantrelle started the rally before Victor Bericoto's one-out RBI single up the middle made it a 3-0 game. Yorlis Rodriguez followed by drawing a walk to load the bases before another wild pitch brought home Cantrelle for a 4-0 advantage.
Modesto though would answer with two runs of their own in the bottom of the third. After McDonald quickly retired the first two batters of the inning, Axel Sanchez blooped a double down the left field line. Gabriel Gonzalez was then hit by a pitch before Tyler Locklear laced an RBI single into left. On the play, San Jose left fielder Damon Dues threw wildly to home, which allowed Gonzalez to take third and Locklear to move into second. Following a walk to Jonatan Clase that loaded the bases, McDonald threw a wild pitch allowing Gonzalez to score trimming the Giants lead to 4-2. McDonald though would prevent further damage as with the potential tying runs in scoring position, he retired Hogan Windish on pop out to shallow right to end the inning.
San Jose then immediately answered with a run in the top of the fourth. Alexander Suarez led off with a triple to deep left center and scored when Garrett Frechette blooped a single into shallow left to make it 5-2.
McDonald closed out his start with consecutive scoreless innings in the fourth and fifth. The right-hander pitched around a leadoff single and a one-out HBP in the bottom of the fourth. McDonald then induced three groundouts in the fifth as he worked though a two-out walk to maintain the three-run lead.
The Giants pushed their advantage to 6-2 with a run in the top of the sixth after another Suarez leadoff extra-base hit. Following a double down the left field line to start the inning, Frechette flied out to center advancing Suarez to third. A wild pitch then brought home the run to make it 6-2.
The San Jose bullpen then took over for the remainder of the contest. Cruz entered to begin the bottom of the sixth and needed only five pitches to set down the side in order in his first inning of work. A one-out single in the seventh put a runner on base, but Cruz induced a comebacker from the next hitter and started an inning-ending double play. Then in the eighth, following a leadoff single from Locklear, Cruz struck out Clase and got Windish to hit into an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play.
Madison then struck out two in a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth to seal the Giants victory.
GIANTS NOTES
Inside The Box Score: The Giants out-hit the Nuts 10-6. San Jose was 3-for-11 with runners in scoring position compared to only 1-for-4 for Modesto.
At The Plate: Alexander Suarez (2-for-4, 2B, 3B) doubled and tripled to lead the Giants offensively on Friday. Hayden Cantrelle (2-for-4, 3B) added two hits, including his fifth triple of the season while Victor Bericoto (2-for-5, RBI) also produced a multi-hit game. After getting shutout in back-to-back contests last Sunday and Tuesday, San Jose has scored 23 runs over their last three games (7.7 runs per game).
McDonald's Mastery: Trevor McDonald owns a 1.88 ERA in 10 starts since moving into the Giants rotation in early-July.
Playoff Race: San Jose's win combined with Fresno's victory over Stockton on Friday night moved the Giants into a playoff position for the first time since July 25. The Grizzlies (32-20) are now one game ahead of Modesto (31-21) in the second half standings with San Jose (65-53) four games in front of the Nuts (61-57) in the race for the second-best overall record in the North Division. If Fresno wins the second half (after also claiming the first half title), the team with the second-best overall record in the division will qualify for the playoffs. 14 games remain in the regular season.
On Deck: The Giants and Nuts continue their series on Saturday evening with first pitch at John Thurman Field set for 6:05 PM. Manuel Mercedes is San Jose's scheduled starting pitcher.

CJI Lalit reached the Supreme Court after the swearing-in ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan, where he first completed some paperwork formalities and then quickly called a meeting of the registry officials to understand the difficulty in listing cases.
Recently, the Supreme Court has received several complaints regarding non-listing of matters and delay in listing of urgent matters despite court orders after mentioning the cases.

So, CJI Lalit took note of the issue and convened the meeting to find out the solution. In his speech on his predecessor Justice Ramana's retirement ceremony, Justice Lalit said that it is first priority to set up a transparent mechanism for listing of cases as well as mentioning of the urgent cases before the benches.
According to sources, a full court meeting of all the judges was also convened in the Supreme Court where discussions were made as to what can be done to fix the bottlenecks in the system.
Since CJI Lalit's tenure will be just for 74 days, he is leaving no stone unturned and started his work from Day One, despite it being a Saturday.

The Supreme Court registry has already notified a list of 25 Constitution Bench matters that will be taken up on August 29, the first day Justice Lalit will preside as the CJI.
CJI Lalit has also indicated that he is of the view that one constitution bench should always function in the top court.
A separate list of 60 cases was also notified which have cases which requires three- judge bench or are pending cases pertaining to death penalty.
As per reliable sources, CJI lalit is learnt to have discussed how to resolve the long pending list of transfer petitions, which don't require a long hearing and has asked registry to compile all such matters together so that the same can be disposed of immediately.

Throughout the offseason, a point of emphasis for the Rice football program was playing more consistent and getting bowl eligible. Playing in a bowl game is something the Owls have failed to do the past seven years. Entering his fifth season at Rice, coach Mike Bloomgren has a 11-31 record, with last year’s 4-8 mark the high point in wins.
Here are five things to watch with the Owls this season:
Green to start at QB in opener
Wiley Green has emerged from training camp as the No. 1 quarterback and is scheduled to get the start in the Owls’ opener against Southern California on Sept. 3 at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Green will be the first quarterback to start consecutive openers for the Owls since Driphus Jackson in 2014-15, and this would be his third start to a season. Green fought off a hard challenge from T.J. McMahon, who directed a fourth-quarter rally in a 35-31 win over Louisiana Tech in last year’s season finale. The Owls played four different quarterbacks in 2021.
Good receiver room has gotten better
The switch of Luke McCaffrey, who started three games at quarterback, to receiver in the spring has only made a position of strength even stronger. The decision was made solely by McCaffrey, a savvy route runner with speed. Tulsa transfer Sam Crawford should be heavily targeted and will help offset the loss of Jake Bailey to SMU. Cedric Patterson emerged with six touchdown receptions, averaging 15 yards per catch. A main target in 2019, Bradley Rozner is back after playing only one game over the past two seasons.
Can the run game set up the big play?
Even though Rice’s bread and butter has been to pound the ball, eat up clock, and try to tire out the defense, there’s an emphasis this season on more explosive plays. Not relying as much on 15-play drives. Ari Broussard rushed for a team-best 569 yards, including a 186-yard effort at Charlotte. A big part of the responsibility of moving the ball will come from linemen Ethan Onianwa, Braedon Nutter, Isaac Klarkowski, Shea Baker and Clay Servin.
Continued growth of Enechukwu
Blessed with great size, redshirt junior Ikenna Enechukwu (6-4, 269) was a menace to opposing offenses in 2021, managing a team-best 4½ sacks in addition to 48 tackles, 8 for loss, in Rice’s three-man front. He’s been named to the 2022 Outland Trophy preseason watch list. A pairing in the line of Enechukwu and De’Braylon Carroll will make the Owls formidable. Carroll missed all of last season with an injury suffered in training camp. More responsibility will be placed on Enechukwu this season to make plays. The Owls lost nose tackle Elijah Garcia to the NFL.
Special teams need to pick up
By making only 45.5 percent of their field-goal attempts last year, the Owls had the second-to-last percentage in FBS, making good on only 2-of-7 from more than 30 yards. Christian VanSickle was 4-of-7. To create competition, Washington transfer Tim Horn has been brought in. Conor Hunt from Georgetown will compete at punter with incumbent Charlie Mendes. Jacob Wilson arrives from Robert Morris as long snapper. Sean Fresch is back to return punts and Juma Otoviano will return kicks. Emerging as special team standouts throughout camp have been Josh Pearcy, Peyton Stevenson and Litchfield Ajavon.

Leading up to the 2022 NFL season, Post Action Betting will release a gambling preview for all 32 teams in the National Football League, covering the schedule, predictions, win total, over/under picks and prop bets for every team. Today, we will cover the Los Angeles Rams.
Los Angeles Rams (+1100 to win Super Bowl, FanDuel)
2021 record: 12-5, 1st in NFC West
Everything seemed to fall right into place for the Los Angeles Rams as they won the Super Bowl in their first season with Matthew Stafford as their quarterback.
If I’m being honest, it was an improbable run for the Rams as I had them outside the top five in my NFL power rankings.

And while Los Angeles is still very talented and dangerous, you have to go back to the 2004-05 season to find the last time a team repeated as Super Bowl champions.
Let’s look at how this 2022 Rams team will line up and assess whether there are any spots we can find value in their futures market.
Rams offseason moves: Draft, trades, free agent signings, injury report
- Notable departures include LB Von Miller (88.7 PFF grade), LT Andrew Whitworth (86.1 PFF grade), WR Robert Woods (75.7 PFF grade), OG Austin Corbett (68.8 PFF grade), WR Odell Beckham Jr. (67.8 PFF grade), CB Darious Williams (65.3 PFF grade), and DL Sebastian Joseph-Day (61.6 PFF grade).
- Signed centers Brian Allen (80.2 PFF grade) and Coleman Shelton (57.7 PFF grade). Added OT Joseph Noteboom (76.0 PFF grade). Allen Robinson (66.9 PFF grade) should help to fill the void at wide receiver, but their most significant move might be landing Bobby Wagner (71.8 PFF grade) as a free agent.
- Drafted Wisconsin guard Logan Bruss (104th overall), South Carolina State CB Decobie Durant (142 overall), Notre Dame RB Kyren Williams (164th overall), UCLA safety Quentin Lake (211th overall), Georgia CB Derion Kendrick (212th overall), Montana State LB Daniel Hardy (235th overall), Kansas State safety Russ Yeast (253rd overall), and Michigan State OT AJ Arcuri (261st overall).

NFL betting lines: Rams win total
O/U 10.5 wins
If there’s any question about whether the Rams will have a target on their back this season, fix your eyes on their 2022 schedule. Los Angeles opens up at home against the Bills, and the bookmakers have them as high as 2.5-point underdogs.
According to GimmeTheDog’s database, which dates back to 2002, it lists only four other instances where a defending champion was an underdog in Week 1. Thus, it’s clear the Rams aren’t getting much respect from bookmakers early in the season against a Bills team +700 to win it all.
And although it’s a relatively small sample size, underdogs in this spot are 3-1, both straight up and against the spread. However, I have a hard time backing Los Angeles because I have the Bills rated as the better team. It actually won’t surprise me to see the Rams at 2-2 heading into Week 5 against the Cowboys. If that’s the case, it will be difficult for L.A. to hit the over on its win total.
When you look at their schedule after the Week 8 bye, I’m not sure how the Rams get to 11 wins with games against the 49ers, Buccaneers, Cardinals, Saints, Chiefs, Raiders, Packers, Broncos, and Chargers. The only cupcakes the Rams have after their bye are their two games against the Seahawks, who are projected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL this season.
As a result, I’d have to play them under their win total of 10.5 games.
The Pick
Under 10.5 wins (-110)

Cam Akers O/U 7.5 Regular Season Rushing TDs
Cam Akers might be listed ahead of Darrell Henderson Jr. on the Rams depth chart, but I think it’s debatable who should be RB1.
In the duo’s first season together in 2020, Henderson played 15 games and finished with 138 carries on 624 yards and five touchdowns. Akers had more carries in the 13 games he played but finished with only one more rushing yard (625) and three fewer touchdowns (2).
What’s interesting to note is that even though Sony Michel led the team with 208 carries and 845 rushing yards, he only had four rushing touchdowns that season. Given these numbers, I think there’s a clear shift in strategy with how the Rams attack the opposition inside the red zone.
According to Sharp Football Stats, the Rams were tied for ninth with a 57% pass play rate inside the red zone last season. Inside their opponents’ ten-yard line, Los Angeles tied for third with a 55% pass rate.
Lastly, inside the opponent’s five-yard line, they ranked second with a pass play rate of 56%. I’m willing to wager that we’ll see more of the same with the Rams this season.
Super Bowl 56 was an excellent example of how the Rams’ offense has evolved because even though everyone knew they were going to Cooper Kupp, they still threw him the rock. I don’t see Sean McVay putting the genie back in the bottle, so I expect Kupp’s role inside the red zone to continue taking touchdown opportunities away from Akers.
The Pick
Under 7.5 regular season rushing touchdowns (-112) | https://nypost.com/2022/08/27/los-angeles-rams-2022-nfl-betting-preview-picks-predictions-futures-bets/ | 2022-08-27T14:17:38Z | https://nypost.com/2022/08/27/los-angeles-rams-2022-nfl-betting-preview-picks-predictions-futures-bets/ | false | 3 |
Everton’s 21-year-old French left back Niels Nkounkou is set to spend the second successive season away from Goodison Park, and his destination is mid-table Championship side Cardiff City.
He did get several minutes game time whilst at the July USA training camp but since the incoming loan signing of Portuguese player Ruben Vinagre and of course the form of Ukrainian Vitaliy Mykolenko, he has clearly slipped out of the first team picture.
He signed a new contract with Everton which keeps him with the Blues until June 2024. This does give him financial security as a Premiership player and also protects the Blues’ investment as he cannot walk away as a free agent in June next year for instance, without a development fee being paid.
Niels Nkounkou has moved on loan to Cardiff City for the 2022/23 season after signing a new two-year contract until the end of June 2024.
— Everton (@Everton) August 27, 2022
Congratulations and good luck, Niels!
It’s not clear what the longer term future holds for the left back. Ever since Everton signed him on a free transfer from Marseille it has been clear that he has a lot of talent especially going forward with pace and he possesses a good left foot. However, as we have seen in the very few Premier League minutes, the odd Carabao Cup game and pre-season friendlies he has played, there is a recurring habit of being caught out positionally in defence.
Under the expert eye of first team coach Ashley Cole for example, those weaknesses will not have gone unnoticed and in the unforgiving world of the top flight it is no surprise that he is currently overlooked. Being 21 before the start of this calendar year meant he would also have counted as a member of Frank Lampard’s 25-man squad.
His loan spell with Standard Liege in Belgium last season was quite a good time for him. He featured in 23 of their games and had a good season. So there is hope yet that playing at Championship level will further boost his defensive awareness and confidence levels whilst honing his obvious attacking strengths. There’s certainly a player in there somewhere! Good luck Niels! | https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.com/2022/8/27/23321883/confirmed-everton-transfer-news-niels-nkounkou-signs-contract-extension-joins-cardiff-city-on-loan | 2022-08-27T14:21:51Z | https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.com/2022/8/27/23321883/confirmed-everton-transfer-news-niels-nkounkou-signs-contract-extension-joins-cardiff-city-on-loan | true | 1 |
Many of the individuals recently charged by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' new election crimes unit told investigators they had no idea that with their felony convictions, they were unable to vote when they cast ballots in the 2020 election.
Their experiences shed new light on Florida's controversial program for felons to restore their voting rights.
In a press conference last week, DeSantis announced to a crowd of supporters that the election crimes unit was charging 20 people across the state with voting illegally.
DeSantis described the arrests as the "opening salvo" from the new election and security unit. State lawmakers passed legislation earlier this year, known as Senate Bill 524, that created the policing force. The legislation followed pressure from DeSantis for the state to spend more resources on combating alleged voter fraud, which experts say remains very rare in American elections.
"People weren't getting prosecuted," he said last week. "Before we proposed this [unit] there were examples of this stuff seeming to fall through the cracks."
State law permits felons to try to gain back their voting rights, but not after convictions for certain crimes.
"They were disqualified from voting because they have been convicted of either murder or sexual assault and they do not have the right to vote," DeSantis said of the 20 people charged. "They have been disenfranchised under Florida law."
According to court documents, though, some of the 20 individuals told law enforcement officials that they thought they were able to vote when they cast ballots.
David Christopher Dana in Broward County, just north of Miami, told law enforcement agents in early August, according to an affidavit seeking his arrest, that he filled out a voter registration form "to see if his right to vote had been restored." The 58-year-old, who was convicted of a felony sex offense, later received a voter registration card, and then voted in person on Oct. 22, 2020.
Terry Hubbard, who was convicted in 1989 of sexual battery of a victim under 12 years old, told law enforcement that he registered to vote at the Broward County Property Appraiser's Office. Afterward, he was sent "a ballot and a letter in the mail stating he was eligible to vote," according to court documents. The 64-year-old then returned the mail ballot.
Advocates see a broken system
Florida voting rights advocates say these prosecutions are the result of the state's failure to create a system where individuals and election officials can easily verify whether someone has the right to vote after serving time for a felony conviction.
Some local election officials have told media outlets, including Politico, that counties forward voter registrations to the state, which is supposed to have statewide databases to cross-reference for eligibility.
In 2018, Florida voters approved a ballot measure so that the state would automatically restore the voting rights of people with prior felony convictions — except for people who committed murder or a felony sex offense. But during the following legislative session, the state legislature stepped in and passed legislation that required these returning citizens to fulfill every part of their sentence, including paying any fees or fines, in order to regain voting rights.
Nicholas Warren, a staff attorney with the ACLU of Florida, says state lawmakers essentially created a "pay to vote" system, but they never created a way for these individuals to figure out how much they owe or if they owe anything at all.
"There is no simple way for a person who is coming out of their felony sentence to check whether they are eligible to vote," he told NPR. "And the rules are very complicated in Florida."
Neil Volz, deputy director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, says his group has been asking state officials to solve this issue for years now.
"We need to make sure that our data management system on the front end works in a way that gives assurances and clarity around the eligibility," he said.
Volz says voters should also be able to trust the state when they are issued a voter registration card. "It leads to the question of, if you can't count on the government to tell you if you are eligible to vote, then who can you count on?"
Advocates also say the state shouldn't be prosecuting individuals who say they didn't know they were unable to vote, because, Volz said, Florida law requires "the state to prove that someone willfully, intentionally, knowingly registered or voted while knowing that they were ineligible."
In reality, though, the ACLU's Warren says these kinds of cases play out differently than what the law intends. Like with most criminal prosecutions, those charged face a lot of pressure to plead guilty in order to avoid a jury trial.
"That's why we have seen some of the recent prosecutions of folks who by all accounts really genuinely did not know that they were ineligible when they registered and voted," he said. "They were even registered to vote in registration drives conducted by election officials."
Volz says these prosecutions come with significant human costs. The 20 individuals face up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. He says he hopes these charges become a catalyst for state officials to finally solve this problem.
"We need to focus on solving this problem together rather than turning this into a political punching bag and using the lives of real people — real citizens in Florida — to play politics," he said.

KYIV, Ukraine — Concern about the potential for a radiation leak at Europe's largest nuclear power plant persisted as Ukrainian authorities said Saturday that Russian forces fired on areas just across the river and Russia claimed Ukrainian shelling hit a building where nuclear fuel is stored.
Authorities were distributing iodine tablets to residents who live near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in case of radiation exposure, which can cause health problems depending on the amount a person absorbs.
Much of the concern centers on the cooling systems for the plant's nuclear reactors. The systems require power to run, and the plant was temporarily knocked offline Thursday because of what officials said was fire damage to a transmission line. A cooling system failure could cause a nuclear meltdown.
Russian forces occupied the nuclear plant complex early in the 6-month-old war in Ukraine, and Ukrainian workers have kept it running. The Ukrainian and Russian governments have repeatedly accused the other of shelling the complex and nearby areas, raising fears of a possible catastrophe.
Periodic shelling has damaged the power station's infrastructure, Ukraine's nuclear power operator, Energoatom, said Saturday. "There are risks of hydrogen leakage and sputtering of radioactive substances, and the fire hazard is high," it said.
In the latest conflicting attack reports, the governor of Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, Valentyn Reznichenko, said Saturday that Grad missiles and artillery shells hit the cities of Nikopol and Marhanets, each located about 10 kilometers (6 miles) and across the Dnieper River from the plant,
But Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Ukrainian forces had fired on the plant from Marhanets. Over the past day, 17 Ukrainian shells hit the plant, with four striking the roof of a building that stores nuclear fuel, he said.
It was not immediately possible to verify either account given restrictions on journalists' movements and the ongoing fighting.
The U.N.'s atomic energy agency has tried to work out an agreement to send a team in to inspect and help secure the plant. Officials said preparations for the visit were underway, but it remained unclear when it might take place.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said it was essential for International Atomic Energy Agency representatives to get to the plant as soon as possible and to help keep it "under permanent Ukrainian control."
"The situation remains precarious and dangerous," Zelenskyy said in latest nightly address. "Any repetition of (Thursday's) events, i.e., any disconnection of the station from the grid or any actions by Russia that could trigger the shut down of the reactors, will once again put the station one step away from disaster."
Ukraine has claimed Russia is using the power plant as a shield by storing weapons there and launching attacks from around it. Moscow, for its part, accuses Ukraine of recklessly firing on the nuclear complex.
The dispute over the plant led Russia late Friday to block agreement on the final document of the four-week-long review of the U.N. treaty that is considered the cornerstone of nuclear disarmament. The draft document of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty review conference criticized Russia's takeover of the Zaporizhzhia plant.
The deputy head of Russia's delegation said the conference became "a political hostage" to countries that were trying "to settle scores with Russia by raising issues that are not directly related to the treaty."
Elsewhere in Ukraine, one person was killed and another wounded in Russian firing in the Mykolaiv region, local government officials said. Mykolaiv city is an important Black Sea port and shipbuilding center.
The governor of the eastern Donetsk region, Pavlo Kyrylenko, said Saturday that two people were killed in Russian firing on the city of Bakhmut, a significant target for Russian and separatist forces seeking to take control of the parts of the region they do not already hold.
The British government said Saturday that it was giving Ukraine underwater drones and training sailors to use them to clear mines from the ravaged country's coastline. Mines laid in the Black Sea during the war have hampered seaborne exports of Ukrainian grain to world markets, although an agreement reached in July has allowed shipments to resume along a single corridor.
More than 1 million metric tons of Ukrainian foodstuffs have been shipped since the start of August under the Black Sea grain deal, the United Nations said Saturday.

Arsenal vs Fulham is a London derby which dates back to 1904 and has been heavily in favor of the hosts, who enter Saturday’s match at the Emirates Stadium as the lone 3-0 team in the Premier League (watch live, 12:30pm ET on NBC and online via NBCSports.com).
Fulham has only beaten Arsenal three times in the 21st century and hasn’t claimed three points off the Gunners since January 2012.
Teams change, and Fulham certainly has since being relegated in 2021, but the there’s little about Arsenal’s start to the season that suggests the Gunners shouldn’t be well-favored to take all three points from the visiting Cottagers.
That’s not a shot at Fulham, which drew Liverpool and Wolves before beating Brentford 3-2. It’s a compliment to Arsenal, who has decisively taken down Crystal Palace, Leicester City, and Bournemouth to start the season.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Arsenal vs Fulham.

Key storylines & star players
Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus has been one of the stories of the Premier League season, feasting on defenses with Man of the Match-type performances. The Gunners also have a new fan favorite in William Saliba, who’s paired with Gabriel Magalhaes as Arsenal has allowed just two goals — both to Leicester — this season. Gooners will be viewing their start with great hope and perhaps a little trepidation: Games like this have become the proverbial banana skin too often in recent memory.
Fulham looks pretty darn good for a promoted side and has produced at least one expected goal (xG) in all three of their matches. The 3-2 win over Brentford was deserved at 2.9 xG, but the Cottagers have opened their gates several times. There will be days when Aleksandar Mitrovic and Co. are held down by opponents. Can Fulham flip that switch against an attack as good as Arsenal? If so, then the Cottagers can really dream about their 2022-23 season lot.

Stocks post broad losses in early trading on Wall Street
NEW YORK — (AP) — Stocks fell broadly in morning trading on Wall Street Monday, extending the market’s losses.
The S&P 500 fell 1.6% as of 10:16 a.m. Eastern and more than 90% of stocks in the benchmark index posted losses. It finished in the red last week, breaking a four-week winning streak.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 438 points, or 1.3%, to 33,265 and the Nasdaq fell 1.9%.
Technology companies and retailers had some of the heaviest losses. Microsoft fell 2.3% and Target fell 2%.
AMC Entertainment plunged 35.3% after rival Cineworld said it was considering filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The industry is still struggling to recover from the virus pandemic.
Bright spots in the market included Signify Health, which jumped 37.5% after The Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon would bid for the company.
Bond yields edged higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 2.99% from 2.97% late Friday.
The broader market's losses come as investors try to figure out where the economy goes from here as stubbornly hot inflation hurts businesses and consumers. Record-high inflation also has investors focusing on central banks and their efforts to fight high prices without further damaging economic growth.
Minutes last week from the Federal Reserve's July board meeting affirmed plans for more rate hikes despite signs of weaker economic activity. Traders worry aggressive steps to slow the economy might go too far and bring on a recession. The U.S. economy has already contracted through the first half of 2022 and Wall Street will get more information on Thursday when the government releases an updated report on the U.S. economy for the second quarter.
Investors are also looking ahead to this week’s Federal Reserve conference for signals about more possible U.S. rate hikes to cool surging inflation. The central bank holds its annual meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Thursday. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to give a speech on Friday morning.
The Fed is holding its meeting following a heavy week of company and economic data that showed inflation is still squeezing the economy, but consumer spending remains resilient. Falling gasoline and food commodity prices, for wheat and corn, have helped relieve some of that pressure. That helped essentially stall inflation's advance in July, though prices still remain stubbornly high.

PetroChina Company Limited (NYSE:PTR – Get Rating) announced a Semi-Annual dividend on Thursday, August 25th, Zacks reports. Stockholders of record on Monday, September 12th will be paid a dividend of 2.657 per share by the oil and gas company on Monday, November 7th. The ex-dividend date is Friday, September 9th. This is a positive change from PetroChina’s previous Semi-Annual dividend of $1.34.
PetroChina has a payout ratio of 32.0% indicating that its dividend is sufficiently covered by earnings. Equities analysts expect PetroChina to earn $9.55 per share next year, which means the company should continue to be able to cover its $2.88 annual dividend with an expected future payout ratio of 30.2%.
PetroChina Stock Up 0.5 %
Shares of PetroChina stock opened at $47.87 on Friday. The stock’s fifty day moving average is $45.67 and its 200-day moving average is $49.32.

Team Denham, Garcia open Week 5 with win
ROSEMONT, Ill. — Highland and UCLA grad Rachel Garcia and her Week 5 squad, Team Denham, defeated Team Chidester 10-4 to open up the final week of Athletes Unlimited Softball on Friday at Parkway Bank Sports Complex.
Team Denham sent 10 batters to the plate and scored seven runs in the third inning. Outfielder Amanda Lorenz got the scoring started with a two-run home run, which helped her secure MVP 2 honors and 180 leaderboard points.
Team Chidester narrowed the gap ti 7-4 before corner infielder Tori Vidales hit a three-run home run in the seventh inning. Vidales earned the top MVP award after finishing 2-for-4 with four runs batted in.
Pitcher Alyssa Denham authored her fifth win of the season after giving up just one earned run over 4.2 innings with three strikeouts. Garcia allowed just one hit over the final 2.1 frames to nail down her second save of the season.
Captain Amanda Chidester paced her team with a 2-for-3 performance, including her sixth home run of the campaign, to garner MVP 3 distinction and 90 leaderboard points.
Team Denham takes on Team Mulipola today at 12:30 p.m. on ESPNU.
Angels put OF Ward, RHP Tepera, LHP Loup on restricted list
TORONTO — The Los Angeles Angels put outfielder Taylor Ward and relievers Aaron Loup and Ryan Tepera on the restricted list before Friday’s game in Toronto.
Foreign nationals who aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19 aren’t allowed to enter Canada, save for limited exceptions that require a 14-day quarantine. Unvaccinated baseball players are placed on the restricted list, where they are not paid and do not accrue major league service time.
Loup will lose $123,626, Tepera $115,385 and Ward $11,868.
Los Angeles recalled right-hander José Marte from Triple-A Salt Lake, and selected outfielder Ryan Aguilar from Double-A Rocket City and right-hander Gerardo Reyes from Triple-A.
Hitting coach Jeremy Reed also did not accompany the team to Toronto for the three-game series.
“We knew coming in who we were and weren’t going to have here,” Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said. “I just look at it as an opportunity to see some guys maybe we wouldn’t have.”
The slumping Angels have lost six straight and nine of 10. Los Angeles is 0-4 against Toronto this season.
Aguilar hit .280 with 15 homers and 48 RBIs in 88 games at Rocket City. He was in the lineup in right field Friday, batting ninth. Nevin said Aguilar could play all three games against Toronto with Ward absent.
Ward is batting .261 with 17 homers and 46 RBIs in 101 games.
Tepera and Loup are both former Blue Jays. Tepera is 2-2 with a 3.80 ERA and two saves in seven chances, while Loup is 0-4 with a 4.51 ERA in 51 games.
Narin An takes 2-shot lead in Canadian Pacific Women’s Open
OTTAWA, Ontario — Narin An shot a 6-under 65 on Friday to top the leaderboard Friday in the suspended second round of the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open.
An had her second straight bogey-free round at Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club after opening with a 64 on Thursday. An LPGA Tour rookie after winning twice in South Korea, the 26-year-old An had a 13-under 129 total.
“I do have some experience in Korea, so it’s a not an unfamiliar feeling right now,” An said. “I hope to put up good results the next two days just like I did yesterday and today.”
Minutes before darkness forced the suspension of play in the round delayed for two hours in the morning because of heavy rain and lightning, Nelly Korda closed with a birdie on the par-5 ninth for a 63 and a tie for second.
“I was just hitting it really well,” Korda said. “I capitalized on pretty much all the par 5s. A lot were moved up, so for a long-hitter. we have shorter clubs in and we can kind of take advantage of that. Just played some solid golf.”
The third-ranked Korda was 11 under with Hye-Jin Choi of South Korea and first-round leader Paula Reto of South Africa.
Hammon of Las Vegas Aces voted WNBA Coach of Year
NEW YORK — Becky Hammon was named WNBA Coach of the Year on Friday after she led the Las Vegas Aces to the top of the league in her first year.
Hammon guided the Aces to a 26-10 record and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. The Aces host the Seattle Storm in Game 1 of a best-of-five semifinal series on Sunday.
Hammon received 27 votes from a national panel of 56 sports media members, the WNBA said. Tanisha Wright of the Atlanta Dream was second (18 votes) and James Wade of the Chicago Sky was third (8).
The Aces averaged a WNBA-high 90.4 points, the third-highest scoring average in league history, and dramatically improved their 3-point shooting. Las Vegas made a league-record 23 3s last week in a playoff win over Phoenix.
Hammon played 16 seasons in the WNBA, eight with the New York Liberty and eight with the San Antonio Silver Stars. She then spent eight seasons as an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs, who hired her in 2014 as the first full-time female assistant in league history.
Las Vegas owner Mark Davis, who also owns the NFL’s Raiders, hired Hammon as coach this season, making her the first WNBA coach to earn $1 million. The Aces, who lost in the 2020 WNBA Finals to Seattle, are aiming for their first title.
NWSL’s 1st free agency period opens with controversy
The National Women’s Soccer League opened its first free agency period Friday amid a dispute over which players are qualified.
Players with expiring contracts and at least six years of service and are eligible for free agency for the first time under the collective bargaining agreement. The NWSL put out a list of 26 free agents, including national team players Megan Rapinoe and Becky Sauerbrunn.
Teams are allowed to negotiate with available players but cannot officially sign them until Nov. 15.
But the NWSL players’ association says that the list should include players with an option year on their current contracts — adding an additional 22 players.
The league says those players aren’t free agents until teams exercise their options, while the NWSLPA says any player who has six years of service with a standard player agreement should qualify.
“As someone who’s been in this league since Day 1, it is extremely disappointing that the league is trying to obstruct our right to free agency,” Angel City forward Jasmyne Spencer said in a statement. “Free agency was one of the most important issues that we fought for when negotiating the CBA. Players should have free autonomy over their careers.”
The dispute will be worked out in arbitration in September.
“In my first four months as commissioner, we have worked closely with the NWSLPA to resolve disagreements where possible and have had many instances where we have found solutions. However, we have always known that will not always be the outcome, particularly in a first-ever collective bargaining agreement between the parties, and that’s why labor agreements typically have neutral arbitrators to determine interpretation disputes. We look forward to the resolution of this open question in a respectful manner,” NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman said.
Rangers add Dallas Keuchel, scheduled to start Saturday
ARLINGTON, Texas — Former AL Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel was added to the Texas Rangers’ taxi squad on Friday and is scheduled to start Saturday at home against the Detroit Tigers.
The 34-year-old Keuchel was signed to a minor league contract on July 25, five days after the Arizona Diamondbacks designated him for assignment. He went 0-2 in four starts for Arizona after beginning the year 2-5 in eight starts for the Chicago White Sox.
A free agent after this season, Keuchel had a 2.31 ERA in four starts for Triple-A Round Rock.
Over his 11-year career in the majors, he’s 101-89 with a 3.92 ERA. Keuchel was the 2015 Cy Young winner with Houston after posting a 20-8 record.
“It’s been a little bit of a roller-coaster ride, not something I foresaw a few years ago,” Keuchel said before Friday night’s game. “Just took a step back and realized what’s made my career so far and that’s just being me and not worrying about anything.”
Marlins cut ties with veteran power-hitting 1B Jesús Aguilar
MIAMI — The Miami Marlins designated power-hitting Jesús Aguilar for assignment on Friday, moving past the first baseman after falling out of contention for a spot in the playoffs.
The 32-year-old Aguilar led the Marlins with his 15 home runs and 49 RBIs but he was hitting only 236.
With Miami losing 15 of 22 games in August and falling out of NL wild-card contention, Aguilar lost significant playing time to rookie Lewin Díaz. Garrett Cooper, who split time with Aguilar at first base and designated hitter, was activated from the injured list Friday.
“It didn’t come as a surprise because Cooper and three guys can’t be here,” Aguilar said before the Marlins opened a four-game home series against the NL-West leading Los Angeles Dodgers. “I understand the move and I understand the business.”
Aguilar signed with the Marlins after the Tampa Bay Rays released him following the 2019 season. The native of Venezuela was one of only five Marlins players who avoided the injured list during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and helped Miami to its first playoff appearance since winning the World Series in 2003.
Last season, Aguilar had an NL-leading 93 RBIs before a knee injury sidelined him the final four weeks.
Helen Alfredsson shoots 70, leads US Senior Women’s Open
KETTERING, Ohio — Helen Alfredsson shot her second straight 3-under 70 on Friday to take the second-round lead in the U.S. Senior Women’s Open.
Aldredsson, the 57-year-old Swede who won the 2019 title at Pine Needles, rebounded from a bogey on the par-5 16th with a birdie on the par-4 18th on NCR Country Club’s South Course.
Leta Lindley was a stroke back after a 72. Annika Sorenstam, the winner last year art Brooklawn, was third at 3 under after a 70.
First-round leader Tammie Green followed her opening 68 with a 76 to drop to fourth at 2 under.
MLB players to make postseason tour to South Korea
NEW YORK — Major League Baseball will send players to South Korea for a postseason tour, MLB’s first trip to Korea since 1922.
The games between an MLB team and players from the South Korean league will be at Busan Sajik Baseball Stadium on Nov. 11-12 and Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome on Nov. 14-15, the commissioner’s office said Thursday.
Tampa Bay first baseman Ji-Man Choi, injured Toronto pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu and San Diego infielder Ha-seong Kim are South Koreans currently in the major leagues.
MLB players appeared in Japan, Korea and China as part of a 1922 tour that included Casey Stengel, Waite Hoyt and Herb Pennock.
Jokic’s Serbia prevails over Antetokounmpo’s Greece
BELGRADE, Serbia — In the battle of two back-to-back NBA MVPs, it was Nikola Jokic who prevailed over Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Jokic’s Serbia had to fight hard for a 100-94 overtime victory against Antetokounmpo’s Greece in a World Cup qualifier on Thursday night in front of a 20,000 home crowd.
“Very hard and interesting game,” Jokic said afterward. “Thanks to our fans. They were our sixth player.”
When Jokic last year refused to play for the Serbian national team he quickly turned from a national hero into a villain. The match Thursday marked his return to popularity.
The two NBA superstars had a long chat on court during the pre-game warmup with good-natured exchanges during the game itself.
Tennis great Novak Djokovic was among the spectators. Both Jokic and Antetokounmpo spoke briefly to Djokovic who on Thursday announced he will not play in the U.S. Open because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19 and thus is not allowed to travel to the United States.
Jokic scored two consecutive baskets in overtime to give Serbia a six-point lead (95-89) with 2:57 left. Jokic also scored an impressive 3-pointer over Antetokounmpo in the final minutes of regular time.
Antetokounmpo had a career high for the Greek national team with 40 points. Jokic scored 29.
Serbia faces Turkey and Greece takes on Belgium in their next World Cup qualifiers.
Jaguars claim Verity off waivers, adding 5th kicker of camp
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars have yet another new kicker, their second of the week and fifth since training camp opened a month ago.
The Jaguars claimed Jake Verity off waivers from Indianapolis on Friday. He joins James McCourt in the team’s competition at kicker. Jacksonville claimed McCourt off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers earlier this week.
Verity and McCourt could both kick in the team’s preseason finale at Atlanta on Saturday.
Jacksonville previously tried and cut undrafted rookie Andrew Mevis, journeyman Elliott Fry and Ryan Santoso.
The Jags also waived quarterback Jake Luton and linebacker Grant Morgan on Friday.
Florida A&M heads to UNC down 20 ineligible football players
Florida A&M will be without 20 ineligible players and down to only eight available offensive linemen when it plays at North Carolina on Saturday night, an athletic department spokesman said Friday.
Spokesman Josh Padilla said a variety of academic-related issues with players have left the Rattlers short-handed, but the team was preparing to head to the airport for the flight from Tallahassee, Florida, to Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Coach Willie Simmons told WTXL-TV in Tallahassee earlier that he was concerned about having enough players, especially on the offensive line, to compete safely.
Florida A&M, a Southwestern Athletic Conference school in the second tier of Division I, is set to receive a $450,000 payout to play at North Carolina. Had the team not played, the school would have foregone the payment and could have been subjected to financial penalties for breaking the contract and forcing North Carolina to cancel a home game.
Eastern Kentucky player charged with robbing postal carrier
RICHMOND, Ky. — Eastern Kentucky defensive back Marquae Kirkendoll has been charged with robbing a postal carrier in New Mexico and is no longer enrolled at the school.
According to documents filed in federal court in New Mexico this week, the 21-year-old Kirkendoll was also charged with stealing a key from the carrier used to open mail bags and lock boxes, as well as brandishing a gun, aiding and abetting, and conspiracy.
Kirkendoll transferred from New Mexico to Eastern Kentucky in January. His lawyer, Adele Burt Brown, did not return a message seeking comment.
Also charged in the Jan. 18 robbery was another former UNM player, Rayshawn Boyce, who was arrested in February. Boyce faces an additional charge of knowingly possessing a firearm after being convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence, the documents state.
Kirkendoll was charged on Tuesday, and Eastern Kentucky football spokesman Rixon Lane said the player was suspended the next day after the program learned of his arrest. He was no longer enrolled in classes as of Friday afternoon, Lane said.
The 6-foot, 184-pound Chicago native played in 16 games for New Mexico over two seasons.
South Carolina to retire DE Jadeveon Clowney’s No. 7 jersey
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney will have his college jersey retired at South Carolina’s season opener with Georgia State on Sept. 3.
The school announced the retirement of Clowney’s No. 7 on Friday.
“We are excited to honor one of our greatest Gamecock football players ever,” South Carolina athletic director Ray Tanner said.
Clowney, from Rock Hill, was the country’s top recruit when he signed on with the Gamecocks and coach Steve Spurrier in 2011.
Clowney lived up to his billing. He was twice named an AP All-American, won the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation’s top defensive end in 2012 and helped the Gamecocks go 11-2 each of his three seasons.
Clowney’s most memorable college moment came in the Outback Bowl after his sophomore season when he tackled Michigan runner Vincent Hill in the backfield, popped off Hill’s helmet and recovered the fumble he forced.
Clowney was selected No. 1 overall by the Houston Texans in the 2014 NFL draft.
He’s entering his ninth season as a pro and second with the Browns.
Clowney is the first football player to have his jersey retired since South Carolina receiver Sterling Sharpe was honored in 1987.
Allen Greene, first Black AD at Auburn, stepping down
AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn athletic director Allen Greene is stepping down with five months left on his initial five-year deal.
Auburn announced Friday that Greene, the school’s first Black athletic director, had informed President Christopher Roberts of his decision this week, citing professional reasons.
“The decision to step away from Auburn athletics is not an easy one, but it is the right time for me to begin the next step in my professional journey,” Greene said in a statement. “I am very proud of the work that we have done together to move our athletics program forward.”
Roberts named the athletic department’s chief operating officer, Marcy Girton, as acting AD.
“Allen arrived on The Plains with vision, passion and experience to elevate Auburn athletics to the next level,” Roberts said. “In the brief time that I have worked alongside Allen as president, he has proven to be an asset to Auburn, enhancing our athletics programs and facilities, and has been dedicated to our student-athletes, to integrity and to our University.”
Greene’s initial five-year deal, worth $625,000 annually, was set to expire Jan. 31, 2023. His biggest hire was luring football coach Bryan Harsin away from Boise State.
The Tigers lost the last five games of Harsin’s debut season, followed by a school investigation into the program after an exodus of players and assistant coaches, including three coordinators.
The investigation ended with then-President Jay Gogue decrying unspecified “wild speculation” and misinformation surrounding Harsin.
Auburn made its first Final Four in men’s basketball during Greene’s tenure, and he signed coach Bruce Pearl to a new eight-year deal worth more than $50 million.
Greene is a former athletic director at Buffalo. | https://www.avpress.com/sports/talking-points/article_4bf05f94-25d4-11ed-ba55-278a7ebf4c3c.html | 2022-08-27T15:04:49Z | https://www.avpress.com/sports/talking-points/article_4bf05f94-25d4-11ed-ba55-278a7ebf4c3c.html | true | 1 |

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) says more action should be taken to prevent and address the federal crime of intentionally aiming lasers at aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported 9,723 laser incidents in 2021, up from 6,852 in 2020. This is the highest reported number of incidents ever. Pointing a laser at an aircraft is a federal crime and a serious threat to aviation safety. The FAA considers each “illumination” of aircraft by lasers to be an in-flight emergency. Adverse effects of lasers include pain and visual effects, which can be especially debilitating when the eyes are adapted to the low-light level of a cockpit at night. Laser incidents can be especially dangerous during critical phases of flight, such as on approach to landing or departure, when sudden exposure to lasers can distract or disorient a pilot and cause temporary visual impairment. The FAA has also identified helicopters (including police, air ambulance, military, and news media aircraft) that routinely operate at low altitudes as particularly vulnerable to hazardous laser strikes due to their proximity to laser sources. In February 2022, the FAA stated pilots have reported 244 injuries attributed to lasers since it began recording data on laser incidents in 2010.
The FAA works with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to pursue civil and criminal penalties against people who purposely aim a laser at an aircraft. The agency takes enforcement action against people who violate Federal Aviation Regulations by shining lasers at aircraft and can impose civil penalties of up to $11,000 per violation. The FAA has imposed civil penalties up to $30,800 against people for multiple laser incidents.
But given 2021’s unprecedented number of incidents as well as the fact that more than 5,000 reports of laser pointing have been made to the FAA already this year, GAO’s report could help the FAA better address this threat that can incapacitate pilots flying aircraft that may be carrying hundreds of passengers.
The nature of laser incidents means that the FAA and federal law enforcement face difficulties identifying those involved. However, they have taken some enforcement actions, resulting in costly penalties and sentences of up to 51 months, according to GAO analysis.
GAO’s report notes that the FAA, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Food and Drug Administration, which has regulatory authority over lasers, each conduct outreach to educate the public about laser incidents. These agencies were involved in an interagency group to address laser safety concerns until 2015 when the group dissolved. Since then, laser incidents have increased and identifying subjects remains difficult. GAO believes that the FAA is well positioned to lead an interagency effort to explore re-establishing this group, given FAA’s responsibility for the safety of the national airspace.
To support incident investigations, the FAA asks that pilots complete an incident questionnaire upon landing. However, GAO found that the FAA received responses for only about 12 percent of the 8,221 laser incidents that occurred over a recent one-year period from 2020 to 2021. Reasons identified by the FAA and others for the low response rate include the length of the questionnaire and its voluntary nature. Further, GAO found that the FAA does not consistently share collected information with law enforcement.
Selected local law enforcement entities that GAO spoke with said information the FAA requests in the questionnaire, such as the approximate location of the laser and whether the laser beam appeared to deliberately track the aircraft, would be helpful to their investigations. One local law enforcement official told GAO that planes landing at Los Angeles International Airport approach from the east and fly over several policing jurisdictions before landing. The official added that a summary of the information requested in the questionnaire would be helpful in establishing the elements of the crime for a successful prosecution. Additionally, a representative of an organization representing airport law enforcement agencies said that any additional information the FAA could provide on laser incidents would be helpful for investigating repeat incidents. The representative also recommended that the FAA forward any information gathered via the questionnaire to the investigating police agency.
In 2016, Congress required the FAA to report quarterly on laser incidents, including data on civil and criminal actions. However, GAO found FAA’s reports to be incomplete. For example, GAO’s analysis shows 44 prosecutions from July 2016 through September 2020, when the FAA reported only four. FAA officials told the government watchdog that they do not routinely request data on the status of actions from other agencies and face challenges, such as access to this data.
Most stakeholders GAO spoke with said that laser eye protection and pilot training are the most common ways to mitigate laser incidents. However, some stakeholders cautioned that cost and pilot adoption pose challenges to widespread use of eye protection technologies. Several stakeholders told GAO that pilots may choose not to use laser eyewear protection for reasons including the potential effect on color perception and possible interference in flying their aircraft. One law enforcement helicopter pilot told GAO that the biggest downside to wearing protective eyewear is losing depth perception when it comes to power lines and said that many of the hazards helicopter pilots deal with in low-level flying become difficult to identify.
In addition to eyewear, GAO found that aircraft manufacturers are working with other industry stakeholders to develop a windshield film to mitigate laser strikes in a way similar to the glasses. The FAA currently has no applications or projects for windshield film certification.
Most stakeholders told the watchdog that training pilots on how to respond to laser incidents is an important mitigation strategy. The Air Line Pilots Association created a webpage on responding to laser incidents that lists recommended actions in the event an aircraft is lased. Such actions include turning up instrumentation and panel background lighting and transferring control of the aircraft to another pilot if necessary.
GAO’s report makes three recommendations with which the Department of Transportation, the parent agency of the FAA, agrees. First, that the FAA should determine what information from pilots and crewmembers would be most useful for investigating laser incidents, and how best to collect the information and to share it with law enforcement. Second, improve the FAA’s quarterly reports to Congress on laser incidents by routinely seeking information from other agencies on related federal investigation and enforcement actions and disclosing, in those reports, any limitations with the data. Finally, GAO said the FAA should explore reestablishing an interagency working group on outreach to educate the public on the hazards of lasers and the illegality of aiming lasers at aircraft. | https://www.hstoday.us/subject-matter-areas/airport-aviation-security/gao-wants-more-action-to-fight-the-illegal-practice-of-intentionally-aiming-lasers-at-aircraft/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=gao-wants-more-action-to-fight-the-illegal-practice-of-intentionally-aiming-lasers-at-aircraft | 2022-08-27T15:15:07Z | https://www.hstoday.us/subject-matter-areas/airport-aviation-security/gao-wants-more-action-to-fight-the-illegal-practice-of-intentionally-aiming-lasers-at-aircraft/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=gao-wants-more-action-to-fight-the-illegal-practice-of-intentionally-aiming-lasers-at-aircraft | false | 1 |
