Candidate for billionaires and Faria Lima, Simone Tebet is the continuation of the “bridge to the future”, which brought hunger back to Brazil.
247 – After the interview of ruralist candidate Simone Tebet (MDB) in the folkloric third way newspaper Nacional, Globo journalism spokesman Merval Pereira got excited and said that the senator is a “mother of the poor”.
“Senator Tebet gives a good image, concerned about people, and mother of the poor,” she said,
The post generated a series of jokes and many netizens pointed out that the senator voted in favor of the Social Security Reform, which hit the working class in full.

Intel Arc A380 GPU Power Limit Thwarts Overclocking Endeavor
Master overclocker SkatterBencher on YouTube recently took on the task of overclocking Intel's new Arc A380 GPU in a recent video. However, complications related to Intel's immature drivers and power limits are giving him issues and preventing him from successfully overclocking the GPU.
According to SkatterBencher, Intel's official overclocking driver controls are very primitive and do not provide as much functionality as their Nvidia and AMD counterparts. One example is the GPU clock slider, which adjusts GPU frequency on a percentage basis instead of a static GPU clock offset. Ironically, even the percentages are off. For instance, setting a 30% to overclock via the slider translates into a real-world frequency boost of just 10% on the Arc A380 .
To fix this, the overclocker uses a third-party Arc overclocking utility to bypass all limitations with Intel's Arc control panel. However, he has neglected to share the software online since it is brand new and doesn't feature significant safety limitations right now, such as voltage limits.
But, SkatterBencher's biggest issue is the Arc A380's power limits and associated driver limitations. For reference, Intel's Arc GPUs have three power limits in total, including PL1, PL2, and PL4. All feature similar characteristics to Intel's modern CPU architectures.
PL1 is the sustained power limit designed for all workloads with an infinite duration. PL2 is for short workloads that will spike the GPU load temporarily and allows the GPU to push higher voltages temporarily to get that work done more quickly. But the PL4 limit behaves far differently and acts more as an overvoltage/overcurrent protection limit than anything else. PL4 has a maximum wattage rating of 800W, which cannot be bypassed no matter what or manually manipulated in overclocking software (including the unidentified third-party application).
Strangely, SkatterBencher is having issues with the PL4 limit and for some reason, hitting a core frequency substantially higher than the GPU's default core clock - like 3.1 GHz forces PL4 to enable itself, causing the GPU driver to downclock the core below 2.3 GHz.
SkatterBencher doesn't divulge why PL4 is enabling itself in the first place, but it appears to be a bug with Intel's driver package. A 75W Arc A380 shouldn't be capable of hitting 800W even with transients considered. In his video, SkatterBencher discusses three ways he can try and override the PL4 limitations with the Arc A380. But he says it will take some time before he figures out which method will work.
We aren't surprised at these findings; Intel's Arc-focused drivers are already buggy and immature. We suspect it will take Intel a few months before we see better support for overclocking on Arc Alchemist . Unfortunately, Intel is already busy fixing bugs that affect Arc Alchemist's stability under normal conditions, so Intel may not be prioritizing overclocking fixes right now.

According to PetMD, dogs have whiskers for sensory perception and conveying emotions.
These special whiskers are called vibrissae or “feelers” and help dogs sense their surroundings by sending signals to the brain.
Also known as superciliary/supraorbital whiskers, they detect potential threats to the eyes. When whiskers are moved, the whiskers signal the brain to trigger the blink reflex.
Eyebrow whiskers
Also known as mystacial whiskers, they help detect nearby surfaces by proximity. These whiskers are also used to detect food, water and measure distances in dogs.
Muzzle whiskers
Also known as genal whiskers, they help dogs navigate through cramped spaces and keep their head upright while swimming.
Cheek whiskers
Also known as interramal whiskers, chin whiskers help detect objects out of normal field of vision.
Chin whiskers
Removal of dog whiskers can cause stress, disorientation and temporary disruption in daily activities of the canine.
What happens if you cut the whiskers of a dog?

AI-powered videoconferencing platform Headroom raises $9M
During the pandemic, virtual meetings became the de facto method of collaborating and connecting — both inside and outside of the workplace. The momentum isn’t slowing down. A 2020 IDC report projected that the videoconferencing market would grow to $9.7 billion in 2021, with 90% of North American businesses likely to spend more on it. But in an interview with TechCrunch, Green argued that videoconferencing as it exists for most companies today simply can’t replace the intimacy of small, focused meeting groups. He pointed to a Harvard Business Review survey, which revealed that 65% of senior managers felt meetings kept them from completing their own work while 64% said that they came at the expense of “deep thinking.”

The heavy musk of Hemingway is in the air this summer: It has something to do with the fact that it's the 110th anniversary of Papa's birth. Scribner, Hemingway's longtime publisher, is reissuing all of his novels; they're also bringing out a mildly interesting new book in August called The Hemingway Patrols about the writer's hunt for U-boats off the coast of Cuba during World War II. (Apparently these patrols were the subject of mockery by Hemingway's then third wife, journalist Martha Gellhorn. Given that Hemingway was hunting German submarines in his small wooden fishing boat, the Pilar, perhaps Gellhorn had a point.) The main event of this Hemingway summer is the appearance of what's being called "the restored edition" of what might just be his greatest book, his memoir, A Moveable Feast.
"Remixed" would be a more accurate word than "restored." At the time of Hemingway's suicide in 1961, the manuscript of his memoir-in-progress didn't have a title, a finished introduction, or a final chapter. Hemingway's fourth wife, Mary, and an editor worked together to shape the memoir that was published in 1964.
As anyone who's ever read A Moveable Feast knows, it's a vivid book, all about writing and being young in the Paris of the 1920s, a place then green-gold with promise. Hemingway writes generously about Ezra Pound and unkindly about Scott Fitzgerald and downright viciously about Gertrude Stein.
Some of Hemingway's very harshest passages are reserved for Pauline Pfeiffer, the rich woman who would become his second wife, whom he saw as deliberately destroying what he'd come to idealize as a wonderful first marriage to wife number one, Hadley. On the penultimate page of the original last chapter of A Moveable Feast, Hemingway wistfully writes of being temporarily reunited with Hadley after a dalliance with Pauline: "When I saw my wife again standing by the tracks as the train came in by the piled logs at the station, I wished I had died before I ever loved anyone but her."
Understandably, Pauline's descendants never liked how she lives on in literary posterity and so her grandson, Sean Hemingway, encouraged by his uncle, Patrick Hemingway (Pauline's son) edited this so-called "restored" edition of A Moveable Feast in which the anti-Pauline sections are muffled and shuffled and some new minor chapters have been added. This new edition ends with this passage by the aging Hemingway, who had, by then, it's important to know, been given electroshock treatments for depression:
"There are remises or storage places where you may leave or store certain things such as a locker trunk or duffel bag ... and this book contains material from the remises of my memory and of my heart. Even if the one has been tampered with and the other does not exist."
For that voice of a shattered Hemingway alone, the new edition of A Moveable Feast is worth taking note of. Otherwise, what I'm calling the "classic" edition is the more coherent narrative. That's because an awareness of loss, and a foolhardy mission to try to stop time, underlie A Moveable Feast — admittedly as foolhardy a mission as setting sail in your wooden fishing boat to hunt for German U-boats.
The Madonna of Loss in A Moveable Feast is Hadley. Almost every chapter in the memoir ends with an offering to her, a premonition that the world she and Hemingway share is going to evaporate. Here, for instance, is a conversation at the end of the chapter that reminisces about the famous bookstore, Shakespeare and Company:
"My," [Hadley] said, "We're lucky that you found the place." "We're always lucky," I said and like a fool I did not knock on wood. There was wood everywhere in that apartment to knock on too.
Thematically, then, it's important to preserve that sense of foreboding in A Moveable Feast, which means keeping Hadley's innocence and Pauline's predatory shadow front and center.
Of course A Moveable Feast, in whatever version you choose to read, is highly fictionalized: Hemingway was not as clueless nor, probably, was Pauline quite the barracuda that his version of things would have us believe.
This Hemingway summer allows me the opportunity to give a quick plug to a great book on Hemingway that came out a few years ago: The Breaking Point by Stephen Koch sheds light, not only on Papa's tendency to blame people and to idealize those whom he rejected, like Hadley, but also tells an absorbing story about Hemingway's political involvement and betrayals during the Spanish Civil War.
It's a joy to be carried away by the power of Hemingway's writing in A Moveable Feast, but the appearance of this latest version only reminds us readers that whatever Papa wrote about the past needs to be taken with a pitcher of margaritas and a shaker of salt. Perhaps a better title for A Moveable Feast, might've been the words spoken by Hemingway's own Jake Barnes at the end of The Sun Also Rises: "Isn't it pretty to think so?"

Neil Gaiman on Sandman/HOTD Comparisons, Eric Kripke's Adapt Efforts
We've said it before, and we'll say it again. You can have all of the interviews, previews, teasers, and deleted scenes you want- and they're great, don't get me wrong! But when it comes to covering Netflix's The Sandman as it continues its march towards a well-deserved second season, all of the "cool kids" are hanging out with Neil Gaiman on Twitter. Seriously, all jokes aside? Gaiman's been a wealth of news, views & more that's tough to find anywhere else. And this time around, Gaiman offers his thoughts on Eric Kripke's (Supernatural, The Boys) efforts to adapt the work for Warner Bros. TV for the networks (only for the efforts to be shuttered in 2011). But before that, a look at Gaiman's response to those comparing HBO's House of the Dragon getting a Season 2 after only one episode with The Sandman still waiting for a renewal decision.
In the following tweet, Gaiman shares that he's thrilled that HBO's "Game of Thrones" prequel spinoff received a second season after only one episode. Along with that came a reminder that you can't compare how HBO and Netflix operate since the latter likes to run on a 30-day evaluation process:
And in this tweet, Gaiman praises Kripke's effort to adapt The Sandman, referring to it as a "terrific network TV version" of the work but that it suffered from the limitations that come with network television:
And just in case you missed it the last time we passed it along, here's a deleted scene from S01E01, "Sleep of the Just," as Alex (Laurie Kynaston) confronts his father Roderick (Charles Dance) about the mysterious "Sleeping Sickness" that's spread ever since they captured Morpheus (Tom Sturridge):
The two-part Episode 11 is a mix of live-action and animation, adapting Gaiman's "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" & "Calliope" with a line-up of names that includes James McAvoy, David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Sandra Oh, Arthur Darvill, and more, from a teleplay by Catherine Smyth-McMullen. And to say it's been well-received would be an understatement. Here's a look back at the overview and trailer for Netflix's The Sandman S10E11 "A Dream of a Thousand Cats"/"Calliope":
There is another world that waits for all of us when we close our eyes and sleep — a place called the Dreaming, where The Sandman, Master of Dreams (Tom Sturridge), gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies. But when Dream is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will change both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. To restore order, Dream must journey across different worlds and timelines to mend the mistakes he's made during his vast existence, revisiting old friends and foes, and meeting new entities — both cosmic and human — along the way.
Netflix's The Sandman stars Tom Sturridge, Gwendoline Christie, Vivienne Acheampong, Boyd Holbrook, Charles Dance, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Jenna Coleman, Niamh Walsh, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Kyo Ra, Stephen Fry, Razane Jammal, Sandra James Young, Patton Oswalt, and Mark Hamill. The series stems from Warner Bros. TV, EP & co-writer Neil Gaiman (Good Omens); EP, co-writer & showrunner Allan Heinberg (Wonder Woman); and EP & co-writer David S. Goyer. | https://bleedingcool.com/tv/neil-gaiman-on-sandman-hotd-comparisons-eric-kripkes-adapt-efforts/ | 2022-08-27T16:03:10Z | https://bleedingcool.com/tv/neil-gaiman-on-sandman-hotd-comparisons-eric-kripkes-adapt-efforts/ | false | 1 |

Man Utd fans all say the same thing about Bruno Fernandes as he passionately celebrates win over Southampton
BRUNO FERNANDES passionately celebrated upon the final whistle as Manchester United edged past Southampton in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off.
The Portuguese midfielder made it two wins out of two this season since taking the armband in place of the dropped Harry Maguire.
Fernandes, 27, swept home United's 55th minute winner on a tricky afternoon at St Mary's.
And after United were made to work by their hosts to hold on to the three points, Fernandes showed just what it meant to him as the match ended.
When the final whistle sounded, he roared with pure delight - and fans absolutely adored his passion as skipper.
One wrote: "Our captain."

After the 1-0 win, Fernandes said: "We knew playing against Southampton is not easy. We have experienced that already.
"Sometimes you have to suffer. Every game is tough. Well done to us. Massive three points for us. Now we have to carry on.
"It's important because one win or two wins don't make the league. We have to carry on this sacrifice for the rest of the season.
"It is what this club demands. After Liverpool everyone could feel it. We set the standard so we have to carry on now and if we can, improve it."
On his goal, he added: "It was a great ball. Great play from behind. Anthony (Elanga), when he dropped the ball everything was perfect.
"Marcus (Rashford) or Jadon (Sancho) make the run and it makes the space for me. This is what we worked on. Well done to everyone and cheers for me.
"Two seasons ago I think we did 21 or 22 games without losing away from home.
"Sometimes this happens but we won and we are really happy, we want to win every game and that is what it means to play for Man United." | https://www.the-sun.com/sport/6091686/man-utd-bruno-fernandes-celebrates-southampton/ | 2022-08-27T16:04:53Z | https://www.the-sun.com/sport/6091686/man-utd-bruno-fernandes-celebrates-southampton/ | false | 4 |
The first of a planned series of Town Hall meetings with Washoe County School District’s Superintendent Susan Enfield is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 30 at 5:30 p.m. at Reno High School.
The town hall is a chance for community members – including students and their families – to share their thoughts on the district and ask questions.
Enfield said the town halls are part of the first phase of her entry plan as she familiarizes herself with the district. She said she’s focused on “listening, learning and building relationships,” which will continue intensively through October.
Although phase one of her plan ends in October, Enfield said she’ll continue to schedule town halls throughout the school year to provide “an opportunity for consistent and meaningful communication between the district and the community.”
Spanish interpretation will be available at each of the scheduled town hall meetings.
Tuesday’s event is from 5:30 to 6:40 p.m. at the Reno High School Theatre at 395 Booth Street.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE “Riveted: The History of Jeans,” reveals the fascinating and surprising story of the iconic American garment. Worn by everyone from presidents to supermodels, farmers to rock stars, they’re more than just a pair of pants — America’s tangled past is woven deeply into the indigo fabric.
From its roots in slavery to the Wild West, youth culture, the civil rights movement, rock and roll, hippies, high fashion and hip-hop, jeans are the fabric on which the history of American culture and politics are writ large. The ultimate symbol of cool, jeans have become a wardrobe staple worldwide — at any given moment, half the people on the planet are wearing them. “Riveted” explores the garment’s rich history, featuring interviews with a diverse cast of historians, authors, designers and so-called “denim heads.”
Special Feature: Fifty years of Jeans Fashion
The story of jeans usually begins with Levi Strauss, a Bavarian immigrant looking to make his fortune selling garments to the 49ers during the California Gold Rush. But half a century before Strauss, enslaved people in the American South were wearing a precursor of denim made from a coarse textile known as “slave cloth.”
The blue hue of jeans resulted from an arduous dyeing process using the indigo plant. Eliza Lucas, the daughter of an 18th-century colonial governor, has long been credited as the savvy entrepreneur who jump-started the southern economy with indigo production. Left out of this narrative are the West African enslaved people, whose invaluable expertise for growing, processing and dyeing the plant had been brought with them.
Though Levi Strauss is typically credited with the “invention” of blue jeans, “Riveted” reveals the story of Jacob Davis, who added reinforcing copper rivets to the pants. This innovation created a garment so strong that it came to clothe nearly all American laborers by the 1930s. The rise of dude ranch culture would change the perception of blue jeans as working-class attire.
A huge fad in the 1930s, American women of a certain class vacationed at these working ranches, helping with the chores and enjoying a taste of the cowboy life made popular by Hollywood. These women were able to wear pants, perhaps for the first time. Jeans soon evolved into a garment not just for labor but for leisure, moving off the pages of the Sears catalogue and onto the pages of Vogue.
During the postwar era, jeans were once again reinvented. Suddenly, denim pants weren’t just about freedom and the Wild West anymore; they were now the emblem of bad boy cool. From the moment Marlon Brando donned a pair of Levi 501's in "The Wild Ones," jeans would never be the same. For the first time, being a “teenager” became a distinct phase of life, and jeans were the unofficial uniform of teen rebellion, prompting some schools to ban them. Jeans manufacturers fought back, forming the Denim Council, which launched a multi-media assault to convince the public that jeans would not corrupt their children.
The story of denim in the 1960s frequently focuses on how the hippie counterculture turned blue jeans into a vivid garment of protest. Often overlooked is denim’s pivotal role in the civil rights movement, according to Tanisha Ford, professor of History at CUNY, who reveals the story of the denim-clad Black college students who traveled south to organize protests. These “rebels with a cause” transformed the garment into a potent symbol of solidarity with the Southern Black working class.
By the 1970s, jeans had evolved into a billion-dollar industry, finding a home in nearly every closet in America. The rise of “designer jeans” and labels such as Jordache, Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt made jeans a designer item many could now afford. Sales skyrocketed, and high fashion, previously reserved for the elite, began merging with mass culture. The emergence of hip-hop in the 1980s and 90s pushed jeans into a new realm. Baggier cuts and subversive takes on preppy, high-end brands such as Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger reflected anti-establishment and rebellious notions.
As Kim Jenkins, professor in Fashion Studies at Ryerson University and principal researcher for The Fashion and Race Database, notes, “Not only do we see hip-hop artists able to remix sounds, like in music, but they're also able to take clothing and remix it for their own means. To get your hands on that clothing and wear it is subversive in a way. Because it is saying, ‘I'm not supposed to be wearing this. But look at me: I am.’”
Boot cut, flare, ripped and faded. Mom jeans, dad jeans, skinny jeans. Everyone has their favorite style and their favorite pair.

DON GONYEA, HOST:
It is baseball season. The first of this year's Grapefruit and Cactus League exhibition games in Florida and Arizona were held yesterday. For decades, for fans of the Detroit Tigers - and count me as one - the new season began with a moment of lovely scripture, courtesy of the late Tigers' radio play-by-play man Ernie Harwell. Every year at this time, Ernie would open his mic for the first pitch of the first game of spring training recite this passage:
(SOUNDBITE OF BASEBALL GAME)
GONYEA: That's Detroit's Hall of Fame broadcaster Ernie Harwell, who passed away almost three years ago at age 92. The lines are from the Song of Solomon. So, baseball fans, spring is here. A moment to pause, to take it all in and play ball.

- United ended a seven-game losing run vs Saints
- Ten Hag outlined said his team have found new spirit
- Manager insists there is more to come
WHAT HAPPENED: Bruno Fernandes struck at St Mary's to give United a second straight win this week, which goes a long way to lifting the clouds hanging over the club. It is the first time United have won back-to-back games since February - which was also the last time they tasted victory on the road. Crucially, Ten Hag insists his players have learned the lessons from their disastrous start to the season, which left them pointless at the bottom of the Premier League.
WHAT THEY SAID: "You have to adapt and find a certain way to win games and that is what we did today," Ten Hag said. "That was the problem, especially in the second game. When you don’t give everything and you don’t have the attitude for 100 per cent and you don’t have right team spirit, you don’t have to talk about philosophy or game plan or whatever. First it has to be a team and spirit and 100 per cent commitment.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: While United have gone a long way towards getting their season back on track, the victory against Southampton was hardly convincing, with the visitors having to survive a late onslaught. But confidence should now be growing within the squad, with Ten Hag's methods effectively steering them out of a looming crisis.
IN THREE PHOTOS:
WHAT NEXT FOR UNITED? They'll meet Leicester on Thursday, which is also transfer deadline day. Ten Hag will hope to have his business completed by then - and also put an end to the uncertainty surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo. | https://www.goal.com/en-om/news/ten-hag-identifies-spirit-issue-man-utd-have-overcome-after/bltea4cf016a3199b04 | 2022-08-27T16:41:59Z | https://www.goal.com/en-om/news/ten-hag-identifies-spirit-issue-man-utd-have-overcome-after/bltea4cf016a3199b04 | true | 12 |
ASHLAND, Ore. — Jason Fischer watches a firefighting chopper scoop a big bucket of water out of the Klamath River, as it douses hotspots on the McKinney Fire in remote Northern California.
The flames threatening his sixth-generation cattle farm, Fischer looks across the narrow river canyon at a steep, charred mountainside. All the trees are blackened silhouettes.
His face twists into a scowl.
"This whole fire we knew ... it was a bomb," he says.
The last time the forests on the other side of the river burned was the Haystack Fire in 1955.
"And after that, they never did anything to manage the land, so all that grew back was brush," Fischer says. "The brush was 10 feet high, so one little spark when it's 113 degrees outside."
Fischer's frustration is one you hear a lot in this corner of the West, especially where the timber industry — once mighty — has largely shut down. The forests are neglected, not being managed, the saying goes. Environmental laws prevent them from being thinned or logged.
"People are tired and worn out from the downturn of the timber industry and the poverty and lack of funds and lack of action," says Larry Alexander, director of the Northern California Resource Center in nearby Fort Jones, Calif. "Then they look up and see everything burn up, and so they get angry."
Wildfires have burned about six million acres of land so far this year, mostly in the West and Alaska. Due to prior forest management decisions, including a century or more of suppressing wildfires, Alexander says many forests are a tinder box.
Severe drought and prolonged heatwaves — now more common with climate change — have exacerbated the problem. Yet Alexander and other foresters on the ground in Western states say there are finally signs that the needle is starting to move away from full fire suppression and toward more upfront mitigation and prevention work.
Really good timing
On a ridge, a couple thousand feet above Jason Fischer's farm, Clint Isbell, the fire ecologist for the Klamath National Forest, is looking across at the same forested land with a bit more optimism.
"We put in these strategic fuel breaks that you can see across the landscape," he says, pointing to the west into a brisk wind. "A lot of them are on ridges."
U.S. taxpayers recently paid to bulldoze and clear out these "strategic fuel breaks," which are built with the intention of slowing down a fire before it reaches homes, communities and critical infrastructure such as powerlines. The idea is that firefighters can then try to at least make a stand in places like this.
A years-long, 10,000-acre hazardous fuels reduction project, including thinning in these rugged mountains and canyons, is ongoing. And to the east, down the mountainside, another federally funded project paid to clear out brush on private land around the perimeter of the town of Yreka, Calif.
Remarkably, that last project was completed just three days before the McKinney Fire ignited.
"Yeah, really good timing," Isbell says.
The agency believes this upfront work may have helped firefighters tackle the McKinney Fire, which is believed to have destroyed more than 100 homes and killed four people. But despite fears, it didn't turn into as bad of an inferno as last summer's Dixie Fire, which burned more than one million acres in northeastern California, or the Calf Canyon-Hermits Peak Fire earlier this year that became the largest in New Mexico's history.
"We can't do anything about drought, it's climate change," says Nickie Johnny, an incident commander who managed the McKinney and Calf Canyon fires this summer.
There is growing acknowledgement among veteran managers that these modern wildfires burning amid record heat waves and extreme drought can never be stopped by firefighters alone.
"We just have to figure out how we're going to get out ahead of it or what we're going to do in the aftermath of it," Johnny says.
One recent hot afternoon, as more red flag warnings for extreme fire danger came into effect, Johnny took stock of the conditions that led up to elite teams like hers having to respond to Siskiyou County, Calif., where the McKinney was just one of several fires burning this August. While still too early to assess fully, she suspected some of the upfront mitigation work may have allowed her crews to position in safer places. That allowed them to begin digging a line around the perimeter of parts of the fire, eventually helping to contain it.
But in extreme drought made worse by climate change, Johnny says preparation work can only go so far. Now the U.S. government and other agencies like Cal Fire have no choice but to throw everything they can at the crisis in the moment. There's just too much at risk, she says, from lives and property to critical watersheds for cities.
At one point, 3,700 firefighters responded to the McKinney Fire.
"We've been focusing on fire suppression [in California] for the last three years because that's where the need is," Johnny says.
Stopping fires is making things worse
Some say we've backed ourselves into this corner.
Firefighters are really good at suppressing almost every wildfire on initial attack, only a few — 3% or less — of ignitions get away and turn into large blazes like McKinney. But every time they stop one, don't they just leave more fuel on the ground for the next fire?
This conundrum is often described as the fire paradox. And there's no easy solution, says forestry professor Andrew Sanchez Meador, who runs the Ecological Restoration Institute at Northern Arizona University.
"It took us 150 years to get into this problem , so it's not a problem we're going to get ourselves out of quickly," he says.
But Sanchez Meador is encouraged by what he sees is a paradigm shift starting to happen in the nation's hulking firefighting program, sometimes even dubbed the fire-industrial complex. Last year, the U.S. government spent a record $4.3 billion on fire suppression. But there are now tens of millions of federal and state dollars also going toward upfront mitigation work.
Allow fires to happen without killing everything
Just over the mountains from Yreka, Calif., near the historic gold mining town of Jacksonville, Ore., smoke and haze from the McKinney Fire hangs in the air as Rich Fairbanks steers his small pickup up a winding mountain highway.
Forests with dense stands of trees line the road, up to 300 packed into an acre in places.
"The people that are responsible for the safety of a fire crew, they don't like that at all," Fairbanks says looking up toward the dark woods. " They cannot see that spot fire starting up behind them and maybe trapping their crew."
Fairbanks is a retired U.S. Forest Service firefighter who now runs a small forestry company. They got a grant from the new Infrastructure Law that could make a big difference here. Further up the road, crews have already thinned out trees from private land that's peppered with homes and small outbuildings. The trees are stacked in piles awaiting to be burned this Fall when it's cooler and wetter.
"The idea is to make it so that the fires still happen, but they don't kill everything, and burn people up in their cars for heaven's sakes," Fairbanks says.
The thinning is also intended to create a bigger buffer around this already existing fire break — the highway. Fairbanks says a wildfire is probably inevitable here, but a catastrophic blaze with a chaotic evacuation along this road doesn't have to be.
"This [project] is a good use of tax dollars in my opinion," he says.
Everyone along this road signed up for the free treatments. Fairbanks also is encouraged by what he sees as a paradigm shift in state and federal agencies toward prioritizing work like this, and among Westerners who are starting to understand they have to learn to live with wildfires.
But some people still don't get it.
"Unfortunately, there are politicians who make hay out of saying, 'They should put out every single fire all the time forever,' which is just really dumb," Fairbanks says.
For foresters like him, a smarter path is the upfront work like this. It takes longer and doesn't make for dramatic headlines. But it might at least make some of these modern wildfires manageable again.

Samia walks the talk on strengthening PPP
Saturday August 27 2022
Dar es Salaam. The appointment of members of private entities to head public institutions has been greeted with mixed feelings, with some commentators saying the decision strengthens Public-private Partnership (PPP).
Since assuming office on March 19, 2021, President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been expressing her willingness to work with the private sector she usually refers to as an engine for economic growth.
In order to walk the talk, the Head of State brought in members of the private sector who once served the government before being side-lined, including former National Housing Corporation (NHC) director general Nehemia Mchechu and deputy Treasury Permanent Secretary Lawrence Mafuru.

In the appointment made on March 2, 2022, Mr Maharage Chande, another member of the private sector was brought on board as the Tanzania National Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) managing director.
Read: Tanzania, Zambia agree to upgrade Tazara to SGR level
In what could be translated as President Hassan’s decision to cement the PPP, on Thursday, she appointed several members of the private sector to lead different boards. Names of appointees and public institutions entrusted to lead in brackets are; CRDB Bank PLC managing director Abdulmajid Nsekela (Tanzania Cooperative Development Commission chairman) and NMB Plc retail banking chief Filbert Mponzi (Sugar Board of Tanzania chairman).
Others are Nyanza Bottling Co. Ltd chairman Mwita Gachuma (Tanzania Cotton Board); SSC Capital chief executive officer Salum Hagan (Cereals and other Produce Board) and the Tanzanian Data Lab (dLab) co-founder, Mr Omari Bakari (Agricultural Input Trust Fund board chairman).
Reacting to the appointments, an economist from the University of Dar es Salaam (Udsm), Dr Wilhelm Ngasamiaku said the president has been impressed by the good job Tanzanians are doing in their institutions. “She has now decided to benefit from their experience in improving efficiency of public entities,” he said.

But, Mr Hagan said it has been the private sector’s desire to partner with the government in implementation of different projects.
“The Head of State is building a new era by bringing in the private sector in order to improve efficiency in the public sector in her ongoing initiative to open the country,” he said.
Regarding his new role at the Cereals and Other Produce Board (CPB), he said together with the management team, they are going to work hard to get appropriate and reliable markets for local products.
“We will efficiently support Agriculture minister Hussein Bashe in executing the good plan he has in order to transform the sector,” he said. The Open University of Tanzania (OUT) economist, Dr Timoth Lyanga, said the President’s decision aims to strengthen the PPP.
“She has probably been attracted by the appointees’ experience in making profit and efficiently leading their institutions. The good thing is that able Tanzanians are being given opportunities to serve the country in different areas of expertise,” said Dr Lyanga. But, Dr Jehovaness Aikaeli, an economist from UDSM said serving as a board member isn’t a full time job, rather members often serve in different capacities.
“The president has given them responsibilities according to their expertise, which is acceptable,” he said.
For his part, a political economist, Prof Joseph Mbwiliza differed in opinion, saying involving the private sector raises chances of conflict of interests in execution of duties.
“This will in turn occasion loss to the government. Therefore, experienced retirees in serving public sectors could be picked to lead the boards,” he suggested.
Other appointed Tanzanians and their respective positions and institutions in brackets are Dr Venance Mwase (managing director State Mining Corporation) and Dr Tausi Kida (board chairperson-Tanzania Agricultural Research Institute).
Others are former Lupa Constituency legislator Victor Mwambalaswa (chairman-Tanzania Tobacco Board) and Prof Andrew Temu (Tanzania Plant Health and Pesticide Authority board chairperson. | https://www.thecitizen.co.tz/tanzania/news/national/samia-walks-the-talk-on-strengthening-ppp-3928184 | 2022-08-27T16:50:03Z | https://www.thecitizen.co.tz/tanzania/news/national/samia-walks-the-talk-on-strengthening-ppp-3928184 | false | 1 |

NATO chief warns about Russia's Arctic military build-up on Canada visit
CommentsNATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has called for more investment in the Arctic as Moscow reopens hundreds of soviet-era military sites.
Stoltenberg warning came while he was visiting Canada’s Arctic region - the first time a NATO security general has done so in the history of the alliance.
During the visit, Stoltenberg also stressed that the shortest route for Russian missiles and bombers to reach North America would be through the North Pole.
"Russia has set up a new Arctic Command. It has opened hundreds of new and former Soviet-era Arctic military sites, including airfields and deep water ports. Russia is also using the region as a testbed for many of its new and novel weapons systems,” Stoltenberg said.
NATO’s secretary-General also noted that after Finland and Sweden join the alliance, seven of the eight Arctic countries will be NATO members, except only Russia.
Before this visit, Canada has been wary of a NATO presence in its Arctic region.
But Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, noted that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has changed the geopolitical situation.
"It is important that we all recognise the shifting geopolitical realities that the world is now facing and across the NATO alliance countries are investing more in the ability to secure NATO territory including across the Arctic," Trudeau said.
Canada has also been previously criticised for not spending enough on its military as a NATO member. But in June, it announced a €3.8 billion investment in modernizing its NORAD facilities.
NORAD, or the North American Aerospace Defense Command, is a joint venture with Washington to detect incoming Russian aircraft or missiles.
Stoltenberg and Trudeau also said climate change is creating new security challenges in the arctic, as melting ice is making the area more accessible to militaries.
And Stoltenberg expressed concerns about cooperation between Beijing and Moscow for shipping and resources exploration in the Arctic.
China is also planning to construct the world's largest icebreaker fleet. | https://www.euronews.com/2022/08/27/nato-chief-warns-about-russias-arctic-military-build-up-on-canada-visit | 2022-08-27T16:53:49Z | https://www.euronews.com/2022/08/27/nato-chief-warns-about-russias-arctic-military-build-up-on-canada-visit | true | 2 |

While the Democrats’ hallmark spending package, which President Biden signed into law last week, is a great legislative achievement, there are in fact serious problems with it – problems that have yet to be fully analyzed and absorbed in Washington.
Namely, the package fulfills one of the party’s most elusive health care goals: allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices directly with pharmaceutical companies.
Supporters claim that this will lower the cost of prescription drugs for the nearly 64 million Americans who are currently on Medicare, and especially for the 1.4 million beneficiaries who spend more than $2,000 each year on their medications.
While recent public polling shows that Americans largely support this policy when asked about it in the abstract, public support will quickly unravel as it becomes clear that the policy is not providing relief for most Medicare recipients, and is actually decreasing the affordability and accessibility of drugs for these beneficiaries.
Indeed, the bill’s $2,000 out-of-pocket cap for Medicare Part D patients will help just a small fraction of beneficiaries, doesn’t even take effect until 2026, and will be limited to addressing just ten drugs on the market.
Moreover, by forcing drugmakers to give Medicare significant discounts on certain drugs, these companies will make up for this lost revenue by raising prices in the commercial market, thus driving up drug costs and health care premiums for the 220 million Americans with private health insurance.
Ironically, then, Democrats’ “Inflation Reduction Act” will end up exacerbating the problem it claims to be solving, and inflation – which has become the Democrats’ most substantial political problem in 2022 – will also be the party’s downfall in 2024, giving Republicans a strong chance of retaking the White House.
Already, Americans are skeptical that Democrats’ spending package will be able to reduce inflation – as a plurality (34 percent) believe inflation will actually increase due to the law.
In addition to driving up costs over time, by imposing arduous requirements on drug manufacturers – and by focusing mostly on big drug manufacturers who make brand-name medications – this policy will also ultimately make certain drugs less accessible to in the long run. If a manufacturer does not agree to sell at the government’s mandated price, they will be forced to either pay a 95% tax on the sales or pull their medication off the market.
Establishing difficult requirements for drugmakers will also engender monopolies in the market, which will make it harder for lower-cost generic drugs – which make up almost 90% of all filled prescriptions in the United States – to gain entry and compete, thus driving up drug prices and decreasing the availability of drugs over time.
In the long run, Democrats’ policy will also hinder medical and pharmaceutical innovation, thus limiting all Americans’ access to life-saving drugs.
Ongoing research following a medicine’s approval – or rejection – allows researchers to understand if a medication works at a different stage of an illness or for a different condition. This is especially important when it comes to treating cancer – as nearly 60% of oncology medications approved a decade ago received additional approvals for different types of cancer in the years to follow.
Democrats’ policy removes the incentives that encourage continual investment in new cures by setting the price of a medication before these advancements have been made. This will hurt seniors the most, as it disincentivizes drug makers from constantly investing in researching drugs that fall under Medicare coverage.
Notwithstanding the problems with Democrats’ price control policy, their bill did successfully extend expanded subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. Further, their push to pass a $35 insulin cap for non-Medicare patients was the right move, as they forced Republicans to either side with them or to explicitly vote against a policy that will cut costs for millions of Americans with diabetes.
Though, instead of passing a law allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, Democrats should have been focused on promoting drug pricing reforms that reduced inefficiencies and led to more competitiveness in the marketplace.
This would involve cracking down on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), which are third-party administrators of prescription drug programs, who reap the benefits of rebates instead of American patients. PBMs often receive more money from insurers than was paid for the medicine.
By cutting out these middlemen – PBMs – Americans would be able to purchase prescriptions straight from the supplier, eliminating markups. In the private sector, billionaire Mark Cuban’s venture – Cost Plus Drugs – offers more than one hundred generic drugs at affordable prices by removing pharmacy benefit managers from the equation, and this approach should be deployed in the public sector.
Simply put, the policy of allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices will exacerbate the problem it was intended to solve – as it will drive up prices and reduce both the availability and accessibility of prescription drugs – which will ultimately complicate Democrats’ path to winning the White House in 2024.

(The Conversation) – Have you ever listened to a talk by somebody who came across as an expert, only to find that they had no clue after all? Or perhaps you’ve been annoyed by a colleague who explains the obvious in a condescending way. The way expertise is expressed is very similar to how confidence is expressed. And despite the trope of mansplaining, this happens independent of gender, although communicative styles do tend to differ between the genders.
When someone states their thoughts with high confidence, we assume they know what they are talking about and we are inclined to believe them. Often enough, we are correct: there are various indications in the way they talk that reflect their knowledge. However, it’s relatively easy to express certainty in language without having any sort of expertise to back it up. For more than 20 years, I’ve studied how people communicate their thoughts through language – including how they demonstrate expertise and confidence in their discourse.
Experts may know exactly what they cannot be sure about, while non-experts may confidently claim pure nonsense, if they believe in it. Some may even be skilled at claiming nonsense even if they don’t believe in it – this might help their political career or other interests that can be served by misleading people.
Actual expertise is important in a world where misinformation spreads easily. Here are five questions to ask yourself to determine whether the person you’re listening to is an expert, or just a confident speaker:
1. How likely is it that this person is an expert?
Consider their background, their possible motivation, their skills and goals in the present conversation. People may have true expertise and knowledge in areas you wouldn’t expect. But seeing no relation between what you know about this person and their proclaimed expertise is an indication that they’re just overconfident in a topic they actually know little about.
In research, actual expertise can be identified by objective measures such as facts about a person’s life history, or performance assessments. For instance, experts differ from novices in memory as well as perception and categorisation of complex facts. In daily life, awareness of someone’s background can help you treat their statements with appropriate caution.
2. How does this person communicate in general?
People differ in their communicative styles. Some tend to talk over others as a habit, needing to dominate a conversation. Others listen more, offering opinions and views only when they’re well-founded.
In a medical setting, an attentive style – one that prioritises listening over talking – can lead to better collaboration between physicians and nurses and improve the quality of care for the patient.
Sometimes it is wise to listen to the quieter voices: they might have more value to add than non-stop talkers.
3. Does the person go into depth?
Sweeping statements are easy to make. While experts know more details and will be ready to provide them, people without true knowledge have to stay on a superficial level. They might repeat the same general message over again, unable to elaborate. This presents another problem: If a message is repeated often enough, we will eventually believe it – that’s only natural. When it comes to COVID-19, research shows people believe repeated false information, especially about less known aspects.
4. Is anybody actually certain about the topic?
Events that we have not observed with our own eyes, that cannot be repeated in a scientific experiment, that happened long ago in the past or in the future – all of these naturally come with a certain amount of uncertainty. An expert will adequately acknowledge the limits to certainty. Their statements will contain uncertainty markers (words such as “maybe” or “could”) where appropriate.
Here, a crucial difference is that between “I am uncertain” and “It is uncertain”. A non-expert simply doesn’t know the available facts. But an expert knows whatever can be known about the matter at hand. In some cases, this goes as far as stating explicitly what the likelihood of a certain event is. Climate experts, for instance, will not be able to predict extreme weather events with certainty, beyond what immediate weather forecasts can provide. However, they can demonstrate how the occurrence of such events has increased in the past, and based on this they can provide the statistical likelihood of events such as flooding for the future.
5. Can they provide information flexibly?
Consider the difference between automatic route navigation systems (such as Google Maps) and the kind of directions you would get from a friend. The friend would be able to give you just the information you need, providing more details at tricky decision points, but skipping over those parts of the route that they know you’re already familiar with. Automatic systems are unable to do that. They’re not “experts” – they’re simply pulling information from a database, without actual insight or intelligence, using the same phrases over and over again.
True experts use concepts and terminology in their field (jargon) flexibly and with ease – and they are typically able to adjust their communication to accommodate the specific needs of their audience. | https://www.upmatters.com/news/national/five-ways-to-tell-if-someone-is-an-expert-or-just-confident-from-an-actual-expert/ | 2022-08-27T16:59:25Z | https://www.upmatters.com/news/national/five-ways-to-tell-if-someone-is-an-expert-or-just-confident-from-an-actual-expert/ | false | 17 |
Criticisms have trailed the Twitter post of Bowen University, Iwo, Osun State on its students that graduated from the College of Health Sciences, for mocking students affected by the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.
The post on verified account of Bowen University read: “This is what finishing four years in four calendar years in a Nigerian university looks like. You should be here too.”
The text was accompanied by the photograph of the students of the institution, who stood by the signpost of College of Health Sciences (COHES).
Reacting to the post, Twitter users condemned it, tagging the post as ‘insensitive’.
A user, @Lami_Williams, said: “This post is in bad taste. Like people choose not to go to private universities that are ridiculously expensive given what the average Nigerian can afford. They can sell their business without being ‘savage’ to people who can’t ‘be there too’ even if they want to/are desperate to…”
Another, @JohnDeedz, said: “Very insensitive! You don’t have to use the pains of others to advance your good cause or argument. Get a better social media manager!” @responficient11 said:
“Very insensitive and lack of self-awareness…the effects of ASUU strike hits everyone – friends, families. Anyway, a university should be more attractive than “four years in four calendar years”, but this is #Nigeria where the standard is 6ft under the ground.”
However, @The Havilah_ said: ”Bowen is not a charity. They’re in competition with other universities. They can have empathy for those affected by the strike, and still tell prospective Bowen students that they won’t ever have to experience that. Private universities aren’t the reason ASUU is on strike.”

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Maryland’s highest court has ruled that Washington, D.C.-area sniper Lee Boyd Malvo must be resentenced, because of U.S. Supreme Court decisions relating to constitutional protections for juveniles made after Malvo was sentenced to six life sentences without the possibility of parole
In its 4-3 ruling, however, the Maryland Court of Appeals said it's very unlikely Malvo would ever be released from custody, because he is also serving separate life sentences for murders in Virginia.
“As a practical matter, this may be an academic question in Mr. Malvo’s case, as he would first have to be granted parole in Virginia before his consecutive life sentences in Maryland even begin,” Judge Robert McDonald wrote in the majority opinion released Friday.
McDonald wrote that it's ultimately not up to the Court of Appeals to decide the appropriate sentence for Malvo, or whether he should ever be released from his Maryland sentences.
“We hold only that the Eighth Amendment requires that he receive a new sentencing hearing at which the sentencing court, now cognizant of the principles elucidated by the Supreme Court, is able to consider whether or not he is constitutionally eligible for life without parole under those decisions,” McDonald wrote.
Malvo, 37, is now confined at the Red Onion State Prison in Virginia.
Malvo and his mentor, John Allen Muhammad, shot people in Virginia, Maryland and Washington as they pumped gas, loaded packages into their cars and went about their everyday business during a three-week period in 2002. Malvo was 17 at the time; Muhammad was 41.
Muhammad was sentenced to death and was executed in Virginia in 2009.
In Maryland, Malvo voluntarily testified against Muhammad. In 2006, Malvo pleaded guilty to six counts of first-degree murder in Montgomery County in the suburbs of the nation's capital.
At his sentencing that year, the prosecutor stated that Malvo, once under the sway of an “evil man,” had changed and “grown tremendously” since his participation in the crimes, according to the Court of Appeals ruling.
The ruling said Malvo's sentence was “consistent with the pertinent State statute and with the advisory State sentencing guidelines at that time.”
"Since then, however, the Supreme Court has held that the Eighth Amendment does not permit a sentence of life without parole for a juvenile homicide offender if a sentencing court determines that the offender’s crime was the result of transient immaturity, as opposed to permanent incorrigibility,” the ruling said.
The ruling also noted that the Supreme Court has held that the legal constraint applies retroactively and applies to Malvo's case.
Judges Jonathan Biran, Brynja Booth and Joseph Getty joined McDonald in the majority. Judges Shirley Watts, Michele Hotten and Steven Gould dissented.
Watts wrote that the sentencing court took Malvo's status as a juvenile into account.
“The record demonstrates that Mr. Malvo received a personalized sentencing procedure at which his youth and its attendant characteristics were considered, and the circuit court was aware that it had the discretion to impose a lesser sentence," Watts wrote.
Hotten wrote that any alleged finding of corrigibility “did not render petitioner's sentences unconstitutional disproportionate as applied.”
“Rather the proportionality of Petitioner’s sentences must be weighed against the severity of his crimes,” Hotten wrote. "Petitioner committed some of the worst crimes in the history of the State. It was not grossly disproportionate that a heavy penalty was imposed.” | https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/maryland-court-rules-dc-area-sniper-resentenced-88938749 | 2022-08-27T17:09:01Z | https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/maryland-court-rules-dc-area-sniper-resentenced-88938749 | true | 21 |
(The Hill) – Since the first photos debuted from NASA’s new James Webb in July, a steady stream of breathtaking images have been released by the groundbreaking telescope.
The $10 billion James Webb telescope, which replaced the aging Hubble telescope and launched into space in December 2021, has captured distant galaxies, blazing stars light years away and a new image of Jupiter.
Here are five of the most stunning photos taken by James Webb to date.
Southern Ring Nebula
One of the most widely circulated across the web is of the Southern Ring Nebula, which was among the first Webb photos released on July 12.
Webb captured the remains of a white dwarf — the remnant of a star that has burned up all its nuclear fuel and expelled its outer shell into a planetary nebula.
The telescope collected the images in infrared light. Compared to Hubble, the James Webb telescope can capture space in the infrared with much more power, “providing never-before-seen vistas of the universe,” NASA officials wrote on the agency’s website.
NASA released an image of the Southern Ring Nebula in near-infrared light (NIRcam) and mid-infrared (MIRcam), with the former closer to a visible wavelength the normal human eye can see, making its images more colorful and high-resolution.
The MIRcam, however, can pick up objects in more detail. For example, the mid-infrared image of Southern Ring Nebula shows a clearer image of a bright star, gleaming in the background just beyond the white dwarf.
Cosmic Cliffs
Another popular image is the Cosmic Cliffs, the edge of a forming star region that NASA compared to “craggy mountains on a moonlit evening.”
The young, star-forming region called NGC 3324 is more than 7,000 light years away in the Carina Nebula. NASA’s photos of this spot in the universe reveal a massive, gaseous cavity on the edge of NGC 3324 in a collage of orange and blue.
“The cavernous area has been carved from the nebula by the intense ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from extremely massive, hot, young stars located in the center of the bubble,” officials wrote on the website.
In NIRcam, viewers can see hundreds of stars hidden from the normal human eye, as well as numerous galaxies shimmering in the background.
NGC 3324 was first recorded by astronomer James Dunlop in 1826.
Cartwheel Galaxy
This Aug. 2 photo of the Cartwheel Galaxy bears similarity to a bright red, galactic ferris wheel in space.
The Cartwheel Galaxy formed about 400 million years ago, the result of high-speed collisions. Webb captured it forming in a “transitory phase,” because images of the universe light-years away are peering into the past, due to the time it takes to reach and record them.
This spiral galaxy is composed of two rings, a brighter inner ring and a colorful outer ring, according to NASA. Inside the cartwheel are spokes, or bright red streaks created by glowing, hydrocarbon-rich dust.
Jupiter
Webb’s newest image released this week is a gorgeous image of Earth’s neighbor in the solar system.
A composite of three filters, the image of Jupiter reveals “hazes swirling around the northern and southern poles” of the gaseous planetary giant.
It also highlights the Great Red Spot, a storm so large that it that would swallow Earth, in a large white band around the gas giant.
Imke de Pater, a professor emerita of the University of California, Berkeley, who co-led the observations of Jupiter, said the team was surprised by the details of the planet.
“We hadn’t expected it to be this good,” Pater said in a statement on NASA’s blog. “It’s really remarkable that we can see details on Jupiter together with its rings, tiny satellites, and even galaxies in one image.”
Galaxy cluster SMACS 0723
While appearing a bit cluttered, this image is stunning because it shows thousands of galaxies in a distant cluster known as SMACS 0723.
This image, among the first photos released by Webb on July 12, is the first deep-field image from the telescope.
In the center of the image is a bright, white elliptical galaxy that outshines the rest, stretching its pointed arms in five directions. Surrounding it are galaxies of all shapes and sizes, flooding the image and demonstrating just how massive the universe is.
This image was landmark, NASA wrote in July, as it showcased how Webb “will allow future researchers to finely catalog the precise compositions of galaxies in the early universe, which may ultimately reshape our understanding of how galaxies changed and evolved over billions of years.” | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/dont-miss/five-of-the-most-breathtaking-takeaways-from-nasas-webb-telescope/ | 2022-08-27T17:10:23Z | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/dont-miss/five-of-the-most-breathtaking-takeaways-from-nasas-webb-telescope/ | false | 13 |
(The Conversation) – Have you ever listened to a talk by somebody who came across as an expert, only to find that they had no clue after all? Or perhaps you’ve been annoyed by a colleague who explains the obvious in a condescending way. The way expertise is expressed is very similar to how confidence is expressed. And despite the trope of mansplaining, this happens independent of gender, although communicative styles do tend to differ between the genders.
When someone states their thoughts with high confidence, we assume they know what they are talking about and we are inclined to believe them. Often enough, we are correct: there are various indications in the way they talk that reflect their knowledge. However, it’s relatively easy to express certainty in language without having any sort of expertise to back it up. For more than 20 years, I’ve studied how people communicate their thoughts through language – including how they demonstrate expertise and confidence in their discourse.
Experts may know exactly what they cannot be sure about, while non-experts may confidently claim pure nonsense, if they believe in it. Some may even be skilled at claiming nonsense even if they don’t believe in it – this might help their political career or other interests that can be served by misleading people.
Actual expertise is important in a world where misinformation spreads easily. Here are five questions to ask yourself to determine whether the person you’re listening to is an expert, or just a confident speaker:
1. How likely is it that this person is an expert?
Consider their background, their possible motivation, their skills and goals in the present conversation. People may have true expertise and knowledge in areas you wouldn’t expect. But seeing no relation between what you know about this person and their proclaimed expertise is an indication that they’re just overconfident in a topic they actually know little about.
In research, actual expertise can be identified by objective measures such as facts about a person’s life history, or performance assessments. For instance, experts differ from novices in memory as well as perception and categorisation of complex facts. In daily life, awareness of someone’s background can help you treat their statements with appropriate caution.
2. How does this person communicate in general?
People differ in their communicative styles. Some tend to talk over others as a habit, needing to dominate a conversation. Others listen more, offering opinions and views only when they’re well-founded.
In a medical setting, an attentive style – one that prioritises listening over talking – can lead to better collaboration between physicians and nurses and improve the quality of care for the patient.
Sometimes it is wise to listen to the quieter voices: they might have more value to add than non-stop talkers.
3. Does the person go into depth?
Sweeping statements are easy to make. While experts know more details and will be ready to provide them, people without true knowledge have to stay on a superficial level. They might repeat the same general message over again, unable to elaborate. This presents another problem: If a message is repeated often enough, we will eventually believe it – that’s only natural. When it comes to COVID-19, research shows people believe repeated false information, especially about less known aspects.
4. Is anybody actually certain about the topic?
Events that we have not observed with our own eyes, that cannot be repeated in a scientific experiment, that happened long ago in the past or in the future – all of these naturally come with a certain amount of uncertainty. An expert will adequately acknowledge the limits to certainty. Their statements will contain uncertainty markers (words such as “maybe” or “could”) where appropriate.
Here, a crucial difference is that between “I am uncertain” and “It is uncertain”. A non-expert simply doesn’t know the available facts. But an expert knows whatever can be known about the matter at hand. In some cases, this goes as far as stating explicitly what the likelihood of a certain event is. Climate experts, for instance, will not be able to predict extreme weather events with certainty, beyond what immediate weather forecasts can provide. However, they can demonstrate how the occurrence of such events has increased in the past, and based on this they can provide the statistical likelihood of events such as flooding for the future.
5. Can they provide information flexibly?
Consider the difference between automatic route navigation systems (such as Google Maps) and the kind of directions you would get from a friend. The friend would be able to give you just the information you need, providing more details at tricky decision points, but skipping over those parts of the route that they know you’re already familiar with. Automatic systems are unable to do that. They’re not “experts” – they’re simply pulling information from a database, without actual insight or intelligence, using the same phrases over and over again.
True experts use concepts and terminology in their field (jargon) flexibly and with ease – and they are typically able to adjust their communication to accommodate the specific needs of their audience. | https://www.wytv.com/news/five-ways-to-tell-if-someone-is-an-expert-or-just-confident-from-an-actual-expert/ | 2022-08-27T17:12:08Z | https://www.wytv.com/news/five-ways-to-tell-if-someone-is-an-expert-or-just-confident-from-an-actual-expert/ | false | 17 |
ASHLAND, Ore. — Jason Fischer watches a firefighting chopper scoop a big bucket of water out of the Klamath River, as it douses hotspots on the McKinney Fire in remote Northern California.
The flames threatening his sixth-generation cattle farm, Fischer looks across the narrow river canyon at a steep, charred mountainside. All the trees are blackened silhouettes.
His face twists into a scowl.
"This whole fire we knew ... it was a bomb," he says.
The last time the forests on the other side of the river burned was the Haystack Fire in 1955.
"And after that, they never did anything to manage the land, so all that grew back was brush," Fischer says. "The brush was 10 feet high, so one little spark when it's 113 degrees outside."
Fischer's frustration is one you hear a lot in this corner of the West, especially where the timber industry — once mighty — has largely shut down. The forests are neglected, not being managed, the saying goes. Environmental laws prevent them from being thinned or logged.
"People are tired and worn out from the downturn of the timber industry and the poverty and lack of funds and lack of action," says Larry Alexander, director of the Northern California Resource Center in nearby Fort Jones, Calif. "Then they look up and see everything burn up, and so they get angry."
Wildfires have burned about six million acres of land so far this year, mostly in the West and Alaska. Due to prior forest management decisions, including a century or more of suppressing wildfires, Alexander says many forests are a tinder box.
Severe drought and prolonged heatwaves — now more common with climate change — have exacerbated the problem. Yet Alexander and other foresters on the ground in Western states say there are finally signs that the needle is starting to move away from full fire suppression and toward more upfront mitigation and prevention work.
Really good timing
On a ridge, a couple thousand feet above Jason Fischer's farm, Clint Isbell, the fire ecologist for the Klamath National Forest, is looking across at the same forested land with a bit more optimism.
"We put in these strategic fuel breaks that you can see across the landscape," he says, pointing to the west into a brisk wind. "A lot of them are on ridges."
U.S. taxpayers recently paid to bulldoze and clear out these "strategic fuel breaks," which are built with the intention of slowing down a fire before it reaches homes, communities and critical infrastructure such as powerlines. The idea is that firefighters can then try to at least make a stand in places like this.
A years-long, 10,000-acre hazardous fuels reduction project, including thinning in these rugged mountains and canyons, is ongoing. And to the east, down the mountainside, another federally funded project paid to clear out brush on private land around the perimeter of the town of Yreka, Calif.
Remarkably, that last project was completed just three days before the McKinney Fire ignited.
"Yeah, really good timing," Isbell says.
The agency believes this upfront work may have helped firefighters tackle the McKinney Fire, which is believed to have destroyed more than 100 homes and killed four people. But despite fears, it didn't turn into as bad of an inferno as last summer's Dixie Fire, which burned more than one million acres in northeastern California, or the Calf Canyon-Hermits Peak Fire earlier this year that became the largest in New Mexico's history.
"We can't do anything about drought, it's climate change," says Nickie Johnny, an incident commander who managed the McKinney and Calf Canyon fires this summer.
There is growing acknowledgement among veteran managers that these modern wildfires burning amid record heat waves and extreme drought can never be stopped by firefighters alone.
"We just have to figure out how we're going to get out ahead of it or what we're going to do in the aftermath of it," Johnny says.
One recent hot afternoon, as more red flag warnings for extreme fire danger came into effect, Johnny took stock of the conditions that led up to elite teams like hers having to respond to Siskiyou County, Calif., where the McKinney was just one of several fires burning this August. While still too early to assess fully, she suspected some of the upfront mitigation work may have allowed her crews to position in safer places. That allowed them to begin digging a line around the perimeter of parts of the fire, eventually helping to contain it.
But in extreme drought made worse by climate change, Johnny says preparation work can only go so far. Now the U.S. government and other agencies like Cal Fire have no choice but to throw everything they can at the crisis in the moment. There's just too much at risk, she says, from lives and property to critical watersheds for cities.
At one point, 3,700 firefighters responded to the McKinney Fire.
"We've been focusing on fire suppression [in California] for the last three years because that's where the need is," Johnny says.
Stopping fires is making things worse
Some say we've backed ourselves into this corner.
Firefighters are really good at suppressing almost every wildfire on initial attack, only a few — 3% or less — of ignitions get away and turn into large blazes like McKinney. But every time they stop one, don't they just leave more fuel on the ground for the next fire?
This conundrum is often described as the fire paradox. And there's no easy solution, says forestry professor Andrew Sanchez Meador, who runs the Ecological Restoration Institute at Northern Arizona University.
"It took us 150 years to get into this problem , so it's not a problem we're going to get ourselves out of quickly," he says.
But Sanchez Meador is encouraged by what he sees is a paradigm shift starting to happen in the nation's hulking firefighting program, sometimes even dubbed the fire-industrial complex. Last year, the U.S. government spent a record $4.3 billion on fire suppression. But there are now tens of millions of federal and state dollars also going toward upfront mitigation work.
Allow fires to happen without killing everything
Just over the mountains from Yreka, Calif., near the historic gold mining town of Jacksonville, Ore., smoke and haze from the McKinney Fire hangs in the air as Rich Fairbanks steers his small pickup up a winding mountain highway.
Forests with dense stands of trees line the road, up to 300 packed into an acre in places.
"The people that are responsible for the safety of a fire crew, they don't like that at all," Fairbanks says looking up toward the dark woods. " They cannot see that spot fire starting up behind them and maybe trapping their crew."
Fairbanks is a retired U.S. Forest Service firefighter who now runs a small forestry company. They got a grant from the new Infrastructure Law that could make a big difference here. Further up the road, crews have already thinned out trees from private land that's peppered with homes and small outbuildings. The trees are stacked in piles awaiting to be burned this Fall when it's cooler and wetter.
"The idea is to make it so that the fires still happen, but they don't kill everything, and burn people up in their cars for heaven's sakes," Fairbanks says.
The thinning is also intended to create a bigger buffer around this already existing fire break — the highway. Fairbanks says a wildfire is probably inevitable here, but a catastrophic blaze with a chaotic evacuation along this road doesn't have to be.
"This [project] is a good use of tax dollars in my opinion," he says.
Everyone along this road signed up for the free treatments. Fairbanks also is encouraged by what he sees as a paradigm shift in state and federal agencies toward prioritizing work like this, and among Westerners who are starting to understand they have to learn to live with wildfires.
But some people still don't get it.
"Unfortunately, there are politicians who make hay out of saying, 'They should put out every single fire all the time forever,' which is just really dumb," Fairbanks says.
For foresters like him, a smarter path is the upfront work like this. It takes longer and doesn't make for dramatic headlines. But it might at least make some of these modern wildfires manageable again.

This Friday, 26.08, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP), debuts the group show Brazilian stories. On display until October 30th, 380 works, 24 of which have never been published, by approximately 250 artists and collectives are presented in different media, supports, typologies, origins, regions and periods, organized into eight thematic groups: flags and maps, landscapes and tropics, Earth eterratic, resumptions, portraits, Rebellions and revolts, Myths and rites and Parties.
Brazilian stories comes with the proposal to review and criticize the history of Brazil and present new narratives of visual arts, more inclusive, diverse and plural. The exhibition celebrates the bicentennial of Brazilian independence and is curated by Adriano Pedrosa, artistic director, and Lilia Moritz Schwarcz, guest curator, and curated by Tomás Toledo, Clarissa Diniz and Sandra Benites, alongside other curators from the institution. .
Before its opening, the curators responsible for the Retomadas nucleus, Clarissa Diniz and Sandra Benites, decided to leave the exhibition (and end the partnership with the institution) on the grounds that they had suffered an institutional veto, since there was the exclusion of images that portrayed the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST). In response to what happened, Masp claimed that the absence of the parts was of a logistical nature, due to non-compliance with dates.
After the repercussion and debates on social networks, the museum affirmed the existence of procedural and communication failures and errors. The curators, in turn, suggested new actions based on what had happened, including free access to the show.
Divided into two floors, Brazilian stories features works by Adriana Varejão, Anita Malfatti, Bruno Baptistelli, Candido Portinari, Cildo Meireles, Denilson Baniwa, Jaider Esbell, Rubem Valentim and Yêdamaria, among great names in national art.

Kitsune Power’s progressive season continued when he claimed a third win of the term in the William Hill Silver Cup at Beverley.
The Roger Varian-trained gelding was last seen at Glorious Goodwood, coming home a length and a quarter behind Ajero in the Federation Of Bloodstock Agents Handicap.
This time he was a comfortable winner when starting as the 15-8 favourite under Kevin Stott, prevailing by two lengths after travelling quietly at the back of the field and pouncing in the final furlong.
“We travelled really well round there and got a nice lead, we didn’t go as quick as I thought we were going to and it kind of turned into a sprint, but the further he went, the better,” said Stott.
“I’d say he’ll easily get a mile and a half in time, I’m delighted he won as he was knocking on the door.
“I don’t think he’s stopping just now, when he gets to a mile and half I think he could be even better.”
Cell Sa Beela gave Varian a double on the card when triumphing in the Churchill Tyres Irish EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes as the 5-6 favourite in the hands of Ben Curtis.
Stott was also twice a winner on the Westwood as he steered Silent Monarch (6-4 favourite), making her racecourse debut in the double green silks of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, to success in the Philip Brady Memorial Maiden Stakes.
It Just Takes Time continued to relish a seven-furlong trip when landing the opening Joe Rowntree Memorial Handicap for Jack Garritty and Mark Walford.
The four-year-old has been in good form of late, winning twice over the same trip before coming home the runner-up at Doncaster last month.
A 9-2 chance, he led the chasing group as Antagonize ran freely ahead, eventually reeling him in in the final furlong and prevailing by three quarters of a length.
“He’s progressing, this horse, now we’ve got the key to him,” said Garritty.
“He was a bit lively early on in his career, he’s settling down a bit now.
“The race worked out perfectly, they went a good gallop and I could just track him (Antagonize) and give him not too much distance while keeping an eye on him. Then I could just pick him up when I needed to.
“He’s happiest over a sharp seven (furlongs), I think, he’s quick enough for six but he stays seven.”
Division one of the Constant Security Handicap went the way of Melody King (11-2) for John Quinn and Harrison Shaw, with division two of the same contest won by David O’Meara’s May Blossom (6-1) and Curtis, on a day of doubles.

Karrau residents to benefit from $70M in road projects
Residents of Karrau, an Amerindian Village in Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni), will benefit from some $70 million in road works.
The infrastructural works are some of the largest to be implemented in the village.
Public Works Minister, Bishop Juan Edghill said the project is part of the PPP/C Administration’s commitment to upgrade 2,000 kilometres of hinterland roads.
The minister was at the time delivering remarks on the major infrastructural project, set to begin with immediate effect, at the Karrau Community Ground on Thursday.
“The reason why I am here is to bring you good news because we only bring good news. We have awarded the contract of almost $70 million for the upgrade of roads in Karrau. And this is part of our commitment when we went to the elections in 2020, we said we will do 2,000 kilometres of hinterland roads. We [government] put that in black and white,” he said.
The road works will span approximately five kilometres, covering all the internal roads in the village.
The minister said, “not only did cabinet offer no objections and the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board offer the award but the contract has been signed.”
To this end, the contractor carrying out the project is JBS Investment Inc.
The minister noted that the contractor is expected to be fully mobilised within a few weeks.
Additionally, the village’s Toshao Shane Cornelius will obtain an unpriced bill of quantities within a few days.
This will enable the village to monitor and inspect the project to ensure it is being done within the specifications.
The minister highlighted that this is being done to offer transparency to citizens.
“We are a government that is committed to transparency. We believe in good governance. We believe in accountability. The people who are the beneficiaries must know what the government is spending the money on, and if it isn’t correct bring it to our attention to ensure that you are getting proper delivery,” Minister Edghill said.
Contractors who carry out infrastructural works on behalf of the government are also being urged to employ residents from within the communities they are assigned work.
This is being done to foster community engagement and economic growth within the area while residents benefit from improved roads.
“We have said to contractors all across the country that when you get a job and go into a local area, employ people from the area because infrastructural development must mean better infrastructure, but it must also bring employment to the community while you are benefiting from a new road”, he noted.
Meanwhile, the Department of Public Information (DPI) spoke to several residents who expressed gratitude for the infrastructural works set to begin in their community.
Resident Romeo Smith said, “It is a very good thing to see the minister on the ground and that he can actually see what is happening with the road and see the situation that the villagers are facing so that he can make the best decision based on first-hand experience.”
Smith further stated that major strides are being made by the government since returning to office.
“Since the government took office, we are seeing a lot of work especially in our community and in the news, we will see other parts of Guyana but in this community especially there is a lot of work that is taking place and we are seeing development”,Smith said.
Another resident, Angela Phillips shared similar sentiments.
Phillips expressed happiness to hear that the roads will finally be done.
“I am also happy that the minister travelled on the road to feel what it is like… and I am so happy that today we got positive word from him that our road is going to be done.”
Phillips also stated that the village is experiencing major development under the PPP/C Administration.
“I think the government is doing a great job within our village because a lot of things we have been asking for, and we see that we are getting it. So, I think they are doing good work, thumbs up to them.”
In addition, Minister Edghill assured residents that he will be returning to inspect the road upon completion. | https://dpi.gov.gy/karrau-residents-to-benefit-from-70m-in-road-projects/ | 2022-08-27T17:26:02Z | https://dpi.gov.gy/karrau-residents-to-benefit-from-70m-in-road-projects/ | false | 2 |
The Canadian Party of Quebec (CaPQ) announced its latest slate of candidates for the Oct. 3 provincial election during a downtown press conference, bringing their candidate total to 17.
“They are from the Eastern Townships, the Pontiac and the West Island, and I am confident that they are future Members of the National Assembly, ” said CaPQ leader Colin Standish.
The latest candidates are:
• Dr. Arthur Fischer- Jacques-Cartier in the West Island. "Dr. Fischer is a medical doctor and a dermatologist with a specialization in pathology," says the party biography. "He graduated from the University of New South Wales and completed his training at the world renowned Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His parents were Holocaust survivors, with his father born in Auschwitz, and came as Displaced Persons from France to Australia after World War II. He is the first person in his family to finish high school and to finish university. Dr. Fischer worked as a consultant pathologist in anatomical pathology for a number of years before opening his own laboratory specializing in dermatopathology (skin pathology). A newcomer to politics, Dr. Fischer is dedicated to fixing the advanced state of disrepair of Quebec’s healthcare system, exposing the reckless incompetence of the current Government during the pandemic and to building a a patient-centric healthcare system in Quebec."
Standish said that "“Dr. Arthur Fischer is an exceptional candidate, who approached the party with his deep convictions about the deplorable state of health care in Quebec and immorality of Quebec’s contemporary identity and language laws. Dr. Fischer will help Quebecers rebuild our healthcare system. He will call out the CAQ government for their incompetence, which has needlessly cost thousands of Quebecers their lives during the pandemic. Additionally, he will work to fix the problems caused by the Quebec Liberal Party’s Bill 10, which removed minority and English-speaking community control from healthcare institutions, aggregating them into Leviathan regional structures that have led to poor health outcomes for Quebecers."

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Rapper Wiz Khalifa cut short a concert in suburban Indianapolis as people began fleeing the outdoor venue, leaving three with minor injuries, following a disturbance, police said.
People started exiting the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville about 10:30 p.m. Friday after a reported disturbance on part of the amphitheater’s lawn, with some of them shouting about a possible shooting, The Indianapolis Star reported.
Police said in a news release early Saturday that no weapon was found following a sweep of the area at the venue about 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Indianapolis.
The disturbance happened about 45 minutes into Wiz Khalifa’s show that was part of the Vinyl Verse co-headlining tour with fellow rapper Logic, according to The Indianapolis Star. The music stopped and Wiz Khalifa and his band left the stage immediately.
Three people reported minor injuries and were taken to hospitals for treatment after concertgoers “self-evacuated” the amphitheater, where all exits were opened in accordance with the venue’s emergency procedures, police said.
In a parking lot outside, some audience members were making cellphone calls as others wept and held each other, the newspaper reported.
Live Nation, the concert promotion company that owns and operates Ruoff, released a statement Saturday thanking “staff and local authorities for acting quickly to support everyone in attendance.”
Police did not immediately reply to a message seeking details on the nature of the disturbance. | https://whnt.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/ap-disturbance-halts-wiz-khalifa-concert-in-indiana-3-injured/ | 2022-08-27T17:34:54Z | https://whnt.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/ap-disturbance-halts-wiz-khalifa-concert-in-indiana-3-injured/ | false | 25 |
VENICE, Italy (AP) — Chinese dissident and artist Ai Weiwei warns against hubris in what he calls “such a troublesome time” with his first glass sculpture, made on the Venetian island of Murano, with the foreboding subtitle: “Memento Mori,” Latin for “Remember You Must Die.”
Russian bombs fall on Ukraine. China is flexing its military muscle in the Taiwan Strait. Migrants die repeatedly at sea as smugglers’ boats sink. The Earth warms, creating drought, collapsing glaciers and triggering violent storms. The pandemic lingers.
“We are talking about many, many things. We are talking about immigrants, about deaths, about the war, about many, many issues,″ Ai told The Associated Press in Venice on Friday.
He stands by his 9-meter (29.5-foot), nearly 3-ton black glass sculpture, which is suspended over the central nave of the deconsecrated church of San Giorgio Maggiore, located opposite Venice’s St. Mark’s Square. Titled “The Human Comedy: Memento Mori,” the sculpture is the centerpiece of an Ai exhibit at the church that opens Sunday.
The huge hanging artwork is part chandelier, part ossuary, with intricately hung molded glass skeletons and skulls, both human and animal, balanced with glass-blown human organs and scattered likenesses of the Twitter bird logo and surveillance cameras, hinting at the darker side of technology.
“We see the environment completely disappearing, being destroyed by humans’ effort … and that will create a much bigger disaster or famine. Or war, there’s a possible political struggle between China and the West″ as China asserts greater control over Hong Kong and threatens control over Taiwan, Ai said.
“We have to rethink about humans and legitimacy in the environment. Do we really deserve this planet, or are we just being so short-sighted and racist? And very, very just self-demanding, selfishness,″ the artist added.
The exhibit also features smaller glass sculptures. One depicts Ai himself as a prisoner, a reference to his months in a Chinese prison in 2011. Another imposes his distorted face on a replica of an 18th-century statue titled “Allegory of Envy.″ A wooden sculpture of a tree trunk fills a sacristy. Colored glass hard hats save places in the choir. Lego-brick portrait replicas of famous paintings and the Chinese zodiac line the walls of adjacent rooms.
Ai said he thinks Russia’s invasion of Ukraine gave Chinese authorities a “potential model” to understand how such an operation might play out in Taiwan, without serving either as encouragement or warning.
“I think China is part of the global power struggle that reflects our modern understanding and the classic notion about territory and who has the right to do what,” he said. ”What what happens in the Russian and Ukraine conflict gives China a clear maybe mental exercise about what they want to do in Taiwan, if it is needed.”
But the artist says any Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a mistake and a misunderstanding of Taiwan’s history.
“The Chinese think that Taiwan belongs to China, but in reality China and Taiwan have been apart for over 70 years. They have their own social structure, which is more democratic and more peaceful than in China,″ he said. Any moves by China to claim Taiwan by force will result “in the ultimate struggle.″
He sees the struggle in China as one for legitimacy of authorities’ control, while the challenge in the West is the continual need to defend democracy and with it freedom of speech. The West’s Achille’s heel is its economic dependency on China’s cheap manufacturing, he said.
“That is why China is so confident,″ Ai said. ”They know the West cannot live without China.”
He cited instances of Western hypocrisy, including the rejection by festivals in Europe and the United States of films he made during the pandemic depicting Wuhan’s first lockdown and the struggles in Hong Kong.
After praising the films, festivals ultimately give “the last words, we cannot show it,″ out of fear of losing access to the Chinese market, Ai said.
His artworks travel more smoothly, he said, because his artistic language is harder to interpret.
“My work is about a new vocabulary, so it is difficult for somebody who has completely no knowledge. It requires study,” Ai said. ”I don’t make some piece to please the audience. But I always want to say something that is necessary.”
Tourists wandering in from the water bus were delighted that they had stumbled into an exhibit by the renowned dissident artist.
“It is metal? When I first saw this I thought it represented hell,″ Kenneth Cheung, a Hong Kong native now living in Toronto, Canada, said as he checked out the imposing glass sculpture. “Being in a church, it is even stronger, more powerful.”
The main sculpture took three years to realize with assistance from artists at a glass studio on Murano employing three techniques: traditional Murano blown glass, wax molds and injection molds. Studio owner Adriano Berengo said he pursued Ai for years to secure a collaboration with an artist he admires for his strong political beliefs.
“He shows his face. He doesn’t hide. He is ready to risk his life, and he did in China,″ Berengo said.
The exhibit runs through Nov. 27 in Venice. From there, the hanging sculpture will go to the Design Museum in London and then, hopefully a buyer, Berengo said.
“It has to be a big museum. Otherwise, how can you keep an artwork like that?” he said. | https://www.wavy.com/entertainment-news/ap-artist-ai-weiwei-warns-against-hubris-in-troublesome-times/ | 2022-08-27T17:35:21Z | https://www.wavy.com/entertainment-news/ap-artist-ai-weiwei-warns-against-hubris-in-troublesome-times/ | false | 36 |
St Mirren make it three in a row as Keanu Baccus sinks Hibernian
By PA Staff published
St Mirren won for the third game in succession as Keanu Baccus’ early goal sunk Hibernian in Paisley.
The Australian struck after just seven minutes for what proved to be the only goal of an entertaining game.
Elie Youan missed Hibs’ best chance early in the second half while Eamonn Brophy struck the post for Stephen Robinson’s side.
St Mirren went with the same starting line-up that defeated Dundee United the previous week, meaning new signing Alex Gogic had to settle for a place on the bench.
Hibs, in turn, made two changes following the draw with Rangers. In came Marijan Cabraja and Christian Doidge, with Ewan Henderson and Rocky Bushiri dropping out.
St Mirren got their noses in front with the first real attack of the game.
Ryan Strain did well to burst down the right and his cross picked out countryman Baccus who tucked in his first goal for the club from close range.
Hibs were up against it as St Mirren looked to add a second but created a chance of their own when Youan’s volley was deflected just wide.
Chris Cadden then popped up in the box from his right-back berth to glance a header off target from Martin Boyle’s cross as the visitors chased an equaliser.
At the other end, Curtis Main showed great agility to control a Strain pass high in the air but his subsequent effort went well wide of goal.
Hibs came closest to getting a goal back when Ryan Porteous swung in a cross from the left and Doidge’s header drifted just off target.
Saints were still looking dangerous too and David Marshall made a smart stop to keep out Mark O’Hara’s header.
The visitors ought to have been level within a minute of the restart. Cadden’s searching ball made it all the way through to Youan at the back post but the Frenchman somehow failed to hit the target from close range.
Hibs’ tails were up and they had two further great chances to score in front of their own supporters. Joe Newell had the first opportunity, his driven effort from the edge of the box brilliantly saved by Trevor Carson. Cadden then had a blast that Richard Tait blocked with his legs.
Curtis Main then headed over a chance for St Mirren before Doidge was only inches away from connecting with Cadden’s ball in at the other end.
Saints could have wrapped it up after 70 minutes but Brophy’s shot struck the inside of the post and bounced to safety, while further late misses from Brophy and Baccus also proved inconsequential.

Wild's future between the pipes looks very bright
Jesper Wallstedt was outstanding at the world juniors ahead of his debut season with the Iowa Wild.
Marc-Andre Fleury is the unquestioned No. 1 goalie for the Minnesota Wild entering the 2022-23 season, but with retirement on the horizon the future between the pipes appears to be very bright in the State of Hockey.
Jesper Wallstedt, the 19-year-old Swedish goalie the Wild drafted in 20th overall in 2021, stopped 125 of 133 shots he faced in five games for the Swedish national team at the world junior championship in Albert, Canada.
- 21 of 23 shots against Germany
- 38 of 41 shots against USA
- 12 of 13 shots against Latvia
- 27 of 28 shots against Finland
- 27 of 28 shots against Czechia
Eight goals in five games translates to a 1.62 goals-against average and a .939 save percentage. No goalie posted better numbers in both statistics and he was named the top goalie of the tournament.
What's more is that Minnesota hockey fans can take a little solace in that fact that Logan Cooley, who will play for the Gophers this upcoming season, assisted on two of Team USA's three goals against Wallstedt.
Tomas Monten on Jesper Wallstedt (MIN):
"He was the best goalie in the tournament. He's such a great leader, calm. We knew he would have it. We only gave up one goal 5-on-5 in the playoff round. If you could put a C on a goalie, he'd have it. Minnesota's got a lot to work with," said Tomas Monten, head coach of Sweden, according to FloHockey's Craig Peters .
Here's what The Athletic's Scott Wheeler wrote about Wallstedt :
"Though he's had some shaky moments in the tournament, Wallstedt is the most talented goalie in this tournament and very well could be the best NHL netminder to come out of this group. He's mature, poised and reliable. Sweden clearly plays with more confidence when he's in the net. He has a .922 save percentage through three starts and could be the difference if Sweden continues to struggle with goal scoring."
Wallstedt went 11-9-2 with a 1.98 GAA and .918 SV% and three shutouts in 22 games in Sweden's Elite League last season. He led the league in GAA and was fourth in SV%.
Wallstedt will suit up for the Iowa Wild in the American Hockey League this season, while 24-year-old Filip Gustavvson is expected to serve as Fleury's backup for the Wild this season. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2714841167897/wild-s-future-between-the-pipes-looks-very-bright | 2022-08-27T17:51:59Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2714841167897/wild-s-future-between-the-pipes-looks-very-bright | false | 2 |

Some of them, especially shop owners, said they are tired of sacrificing every Monday for fear of being attacked.
Though commercial activities are gradually returning to Awka, Ekwulobia and Onitsha, the situation in Nnewi is still tight
However, banks and markets are still under lock and key.
One of the commercial bus drivers, Nnamdi, told The Nation that people are fed up with what he described as ‘imprisonment’ of residents.

According to him: “Hunger has dealt with many homes since this nonsense started. They crumbled people’s businesses, children no longer go to school and worker’s weekends extended till Tuesday. It’s very painful.”
Mrs Mary Enuma, who sells food stuff in Ochanja market in Onitsha, told The Nation on phone Monday, that they still observe sit-at-home because of fear.
According to her, she lost her goods worth over N28,000 on one of the days because the hoodlums were moving around to monitor movements and attack harmless people.
Anambra Commissioner for Information, Sir Paul Nwosu, said it was a gradual process, adding the major problem with some people is fear despite Governor’ Chukwuna Soludo’s full security assurance.

Kieran McKenna questions referee decision as Ipswich draw with Barnsley
Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna was hugely critical of referee Stephen Martin following his side’s 2-2 draw with Barnsley.
A stunning free-kick from 25 yards by Town’s Conor Chaplin was cancelled out by Jack Aitchison’s header but Sam Morsy got the Tractor Boys back in front only for Callum Styles to deny them the three points.
But McKenna admitted it was a “frustrating day” for his team and the decision of the referee cost them a third goal when Marcus Harness was adjudged to have fouled Mads Andersen in the penalty area.
He said: “Yes, frustrating. I think it’s obvious what the main frustration is about, it is the decision of the referee which cost us the game.
“It was a clear goal, we lose the two points on a decision that was really poor.
“I thought the referee was much too keen to get involved in the game, wanted to be involved, wanted to make big decisions all the time.”
Chaplin broke the deadlock in the 27th minute when he rifled the ball past a helpless Brad Collins after Wes Burns was fouled by Luca Connell.
But Barnsley hit back six minutes later when Aitchison headed home following a cross from Connell.
Town took the lead in the 70th minute when Morsy’s late run into the penalty area led to him latching onto a pinpoint cross from Burns.
Harness had the ball in the back of the net moments later but he was adjudged to have fouled Andersen.
Barnsley responded in the 75th minute when Styles headed home from a Connell corner.
Luke Woolfenden’s header struck the post while Collins had to dive full length to deny Kane Vincent-Young’s diving header in the closing stages.
McKenna added: “I thought it was a really good game between two teams played in the right spirit and needed to be refereed a better way to make the game flow.
“I think it’s the first time I have spoken about the quality of the referee.
“I think it’s a different challenge, it 25,000 people, it’s an intense atmosphere and referees need to say calm and not make unnecessary big decisions.”
Barnsley boss Michael Duff was delighted with the point as his side were “hanging on” in the closing stages.
He said: “I thought it was a good game but I did not enjoy the last 10 minutes. I thought we were well in the game. It had everything.
“We have had a little bit of bad luck recently but the resilience shown and to get back in it, I thought at one-all we had big chances to take the lead but then concede a soft goal.
“For all their good football I did not feel they had to do much to score the second goal.
“But we got back in it from a set play and then we obviously had to dig in. We were hanging on at the end but I think we earn that little bit of luck.”

Ian Rapoport reports that QB Sam Darnold suffered a high-ankle sprain that will keep him out of action for 4-6 weeks.
Rapoport adds that Darnold will receive a second opinion on the injured ankle.
The Panthers have already lost rookie QB Matt Corral to a season-ending foot injury, so what was once an area of depth is now running short on available options.
Darnold, 25, is a former first-round pick of the Jets back in 2018. He was in the final year of a four-year, $30.370 million rookie contract when he was traded to the Panthers last year.
Carolina exercised Darnold’s fifth-year option for 2022 after acquiring him from New York. He’s set to make a base salary of $18.858 million in 2022 under the fifth-year option.
Darnold will be an unrestricted free agent in 2023.
In 2021, Darnold appeared in 12 games for the Panthers and completed 59.9 percent of his pass attempts for 2,527 yards, nine touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. He’s also rushed 48 times for 222 yards and five touchdowns.
We’ll have more regarding Darnold as the news is available.

Independent watchdog says it can provide economic forecast in time for emergency Truss budget
Senior Tory describes work as ‘vital’
Liz Truss’s plans to ‘fly blind’ with her emergency budget next month have come under pressure after an independent watchdog said it could provide an economic forecast in time.
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) confirmed it has already begun work and would be in a position to publish its results in time.
Ms Truss came under fire from senior members of her own party when it emerged she could bypass the OBR, which was set up by her former mentor George Osborne.

Fuming Malky Mackay has slammed referee Don Robertson after he failed to show James Sands a red card in Ross County's defeat to Rangers.
It proved to be a comfortable afternoon for Gio van Bronckhorst's side as John Lundstram, an Antonio Colak double and Steven Davis ' late strike saw the home side claim all three Scottish Premiership points, to move ahead of Celtic in the table ahead of Ange Postecoglou's side are back in action in 24 hours time against Dundee United. However, the talking point for Mackay came before midfielder Lundstram opened the scoring.
The America cap was on a yellow card when he hauled down Ross County's Jordy Hiwula as he looked to counter attack for the Staggies. However, whistler Robertson waved away the claim of a foul despite vocal claims for Mackay on the touchline, who protested with the fourth official that there should have been a punishment on the Rangers ' defender.
Following the full-time whistler, the County boss didn't hold back on the decision from whistler Robertson when quizzed on the call on BBC Sportsound. He said: "Jordi rolls him and James Sands puts his arms round him then falls with him, and should have been sent off.
"It's a straight red. If it's not a red then I don't know why it's not a second yellow because he's already been booked. Rangers take him off at half-time, so it's clear as day for me. So it's frustrating. These decisions are huge.
"Last week we got two players retrospectively sent off by the Scottish FA, and we lose two players for today. Then a decision like that happens, it's a huge decision for the referee to not get correct today.
"I thought it was pretty clear. There is nobody blocking views. It was one vs one with 40 yards behind him. So it's one of those things, it's frustrating.
"It's a situation that is clear as day, and Rangers take him off at half-time. The referee is saying to me at full-time if I've got it wrong I'll give you a call.
"What we needed was the correct decision. He rolls him, he doesn't touch him, Jordi is one vs one with the goalkeeper after 17 minutes. If he pulls him down then it's a sending off and they are down to 10 men.
"That changes the dynamics of the game. It's always going to be tough here, but we need big decisions to be done correctly."

Watch: Jurgen Klopp Post Match Press Conference - Liverpool 9-0 Bournemouth
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was clearly a happy man after his team's 9-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday and you can watch what he had to say at his post-match press conference here.
The German was still missing 10 first-team players but his team flew out of the blocks and found themselves two goals up within six minutes thanks to a Luis Diaz header from a Roberto Firmino cross and a fine Harvey Elliott strike from just outside the box.
They continued to press relentlessly and Trent Alexander-Arnold rifled one into the top corner from 25 yards in the 28th minute.
Firmino was on hand to volley home a deflected cross three minutes later before Virgil van Dijk headed home a well-delivered Andy Robertson corner just before the break.
A Chris Mepham own goal straight after the interval set the tone for another difficult 45 minutes for the Cherries and Brazilian Firmino added his second just after the hour to make it seven.

Fabio Carvalho volleyed home after Kostas Tsimikas had cut the ball back in the 80th minute and Diaz completed the rout five minutes later with another header from Greek international Tsimikas' corner.
It was a much-needed result for Liverpool and they will now try and carry that momentum into the match against Newcastle at Anfield on Wednesday when hopefully they will have some players returning from injury.

Video shows brazen attempted kidnapping of 6-year-old girl from front yard
HAMILTON, Ohio - An Ohio man is facing sexual assault and attempted kidnapping charges after reportedly grabbing a 6-year-old girl and trying to kidnap her from her front yard.
Video shows the child taking out the trash when a man, later identified as 33-year-old Deric McPherson, approaches her and grabs her. He then walks away briefly but turns around and grabs her by the hand, then tries to pull her away.
The child’s mother told the WLWT that she heard a "blood-curling" scream before her daughter ran inside and told her someone touched her private parts and tried to kidnap her.

Her parents first tried chasing McPherson on foot, but then her father got in his car and pursued McPherson until police could arrest him. He was charged with gross sexual imposition and abduction.
Deric McPherson (Butler County Sheriff's Office)
"I've always told her that if somebody ever touches her, talks to her or grabs her, make a scene, scream as loud as she can and fight. She screamed bloody murder and pulled against him and got away from him," her father told the local TV station. | https://www.fox5dc.com/news/video-attempted-child-kidnapping-hamilton-ohio-deric-mcpherson | 2022-08-27T18:36:12Z | https://www.fox5dc.com/news/video-attempted-child-kidnapping-hamilton-ohio-deric-mcpherson | false | 11 |

London, UK | THE INDEPENDENT | Erling Haaland scored his first hat-trick in English football as Manchester City fought back from two goals down to extend our unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace.
A John Stones own goal and Joachim Andersen’s header had put Patrick Vieira’s side in control at half-time, but the defending champions turned the game on its head with a dominant second half display.
Bernardo Silva got City on the comeback trail with his 50th goal for the Club, before Haaland seized control of the contest with three goals in 19 minutes to send us top of the table ahead of Arsenal’s meeting with Fulham.
City got off to the worst possible start at the Etihad Stadium, falling behind in the fourth minute when Eberechi Eze’s free-kick deflected off John Stones’ knee and beyond Ederson.
There was an element of misfortune about the opener, with Stones caught unawares as the cross flicked off both Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker before bouncing into his leg, but the same could not be said as Palace doubled their lead in emphatic fashion in the 21st minute.
Eze was again the architect, delivering an inviting cross from a corner, with Joachim Andersen rising highest to power a header into the bottom left corner.
Despite enjoying 75% possession in the first half, Pep Guardiola’s men failed to register a shot on target in the first half.
Erling Haaland headed over from a corner and fired into the side netting from a tight angle following a good ball from Phil Foden, who spurned City’s best chance of the half when he headed inches above the crossbar after good work down the right from Bernardo.
Palace and, in particular, Eze, carried a real threat on the counter in the opening 45-minutes, but City were utterly dominant after the break.
The impressive Bernardo instigated the fightback eight minutes after the restart, driving inside Tyrick Mitchell and beating Vicente Guaita with a low strike that deflected off Jeffrey Schlupp.
City levelled nine minutes later as Haaland nodded Foden’s pinpoint delivery beyond the Palace goalkeeper and he then tapped in at the far post to finish off a trademark Guardiola goal that put the hosts in front.
Our No.9 arguably saved his best until last, showing the pace, power and composure that makes him so dangerous.
Collecting Ilkay Gundogan’s precise through ball, he held off the attentions of Joel Ward before calmly slotting into the bottom left corner to complete a superb turnaround. | https://www.independent.co.ug/haaland-hat-trick-inspire-city-fightback/ | 2022-08-27T18:48:26Z | https://www.independent.co.ug/haaland-hat-trick-inspire-city-fightback/ | true | 1 |
24-year-old Reydemtor ‘Rey’ Nacionales from the Philippines will be going toe-to-toe with Egypt’s Mohamed Mashaly for the Bantamweight title during the International Hexagone MMA Fight this Sunday, August 28 in Dubai.
View this post on Instagram
Rey Nacionales, who holds a fight record of (3-4-0), shared in an online interview with The Filipino Times his humble beginnings growing up with parents who are both farmers and having to work as a janitor in a gym where he eventually found his love for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
“Sobrang bata ko pa noon. Siguro, nasa 15 o 16, hindi pa ganun kalakihan yung gym pero doon ako namulat na ito pala ang gym. Ang dami kong nakikitang mga taong nagwo-work out kaya sabi ko, sige nga, try ko nga rin ito. At the same time, naglilinis ako at may nakilala akong trainer na nagturo sakin paano ang proper exercise,” said Nacionales.
(I was so young, I think I was around 15 or 16, the gym wasn’t that big but that is where I’ve come to know everything about working out. While working as a cleaner, I trained and was taught by a coach on how to exercise properly.)
He shared that one day, a guest who has seen him throw punches while working out invited him to train as a full-time MMA fighter.
“May isang guest doon na nakitang sumusuntok ako sa punching bag at sinabihan ako na may potential akong mag-MMA. Sabi ko ano yung MMA? Pinakita nya sakin yung videos at sinabi kong, gusto ko yan,” said Nacionales.
(While boxing a punching bag, one guest told me that I had the potential to become an MMA fighter. What’s MMA, I asked. He showed me some videos and I told him I wanted to train.)
Nacionales then risked all that he had by leaving his job as a cleaner and started training in a proper MMA training ground.
“Nung nagti-training ako, wala akong sweldo noon. Pero sa pag-iisip ko, may sweldo nga ako pero ayoko naman sa buong buhay ko na magiging ganito lang ako. Nag-decide ako pero sa pagiging MMA fighter at least may posibilidad na mabago ang buhay ko,” he said.
(I had no salary when I was training as an MMA fighter. But I thought to myself, yes, I am earning as a cleaner but I don’t want to stay like this my entire life. I’ve decided to work on becoming an MMA fighter because through this, I know, I have a shot at changing my life.)
After training and joining MMA fights in the Philippines, Nacionales moved to Abu Dhabi to get more certifications and advance his career as a personal trainer and an MMA fighter.
“Hindi ko maimagine ang buhay ko noon kung ikukumpara ko ngayon. Kung wala ako dito, siguro nagtatanim ako ngayon ng saging sa probinsya. Kaya laking pasasalamat ko na pinalad ako,” said Nacionales.
(I couldn’t imagine my life if I try and compare it from before. If I am not here, I guess I would be planting banana plants in a farm in our province. I am grateful that I was fortunate to be where I am now)
He said he owes his current status as an MMA fighter to his coaches Khalid Ameri and Vincent Teodosio and his training partners Niaz Mohammad, Jeff Ng and Pepito Masankay.
“Aside form work, hinahati namain yung oras natin to train. We trained strikingang grappling and aside dito sa MMA fight ni Rey, he will also compete this coming Sppember 3. Medto mahirap kasi kailan namin i-divide yung time pero ganun talaga, para sa bayan,” said Coach Vincent Teodosio.
Most importantly, he said that he wouldn’t have had the motivation to strive to become an international MMA fighter if it weren’t for his parents Monico Nacionales and Fe Nacionales and siblings Ricky Nacionales and
Lea Nacionales. He shared the his eldest sibling already passed away and his dad has now lost his vision due to old age. While he has now managed to become an MMA fighter, Nacionales said he is looking forward to achieve more in life for them, which is also why he said he would give his best in his upcoming fights.
Nacionales said that he also gets inspiration for his fights from his wife, Arezou Setoudegan.
Nacionales is asking for support from Filipinos who are in Dubai to watch his fight which will take place in AB Fitness, Dubai at 8:30opm on Sunday, August 28.
The HEXAGONE MMA 4 Women World Championship event will include 8 fights and two belts of World Championships in the category -52Kg and -61Kg. A balanced card between men and women, international fighters and confirmed French athletes and rising stars. A highly anticipated event in the world MMA scene and an unforgettable weekend for the fans who will attend. | https://filipinotimes.net/latest-news/2022/08/27/meet-the-pinoy-cleaner-turned-ofw-mma-fighter-who-will-represent-ph-in-a-fight-in-dubai/ | 2022-08-27T18:56:10Z | https://filipinotimes.net/latest-news/2022/08/27/meet-the-pinoy-cleaner-turned-ofw-mma-fighter-who-will-represent-ph-in-a-fight-in-dubai/ | true | 1 |
OPINION
Imagine being so afraid of change that when a chocolate company temporarily puts "Miraka Kirīmi" instead of Creamy Milk on its packaging, it incites such outrage that you suggest boycotting the brand entirely.
Or watching the weekend news and when the weather presenter reports the weather forecast in both English and te reo Māori, you're upset. You say it makes you feel like it's "a threat against public safety" to have the weather reported in a language you can't understand, so you're switching news channels.
There are two official languages in the land of the long white cloud and it may surprise you to learn that neither of them is English.

Advertise with NZME.They are, in fact, NZSL (NZ Sign Language) and te reo Māori.
English wasn't the first language spoken on our soil. The Queen's English was introduced by British colonists and forced upon the original indigenous custodians of this land.
There was a time when Māori were literally beaten for attempting to speak in their mother tongue. The objective was to eradicate te reo Māori entirely, so that English was the only language written and spoken.
I have heard so many stories from Māori elders who experienced the eradication of their language and culture first-hand. Imagine being physically punished merely for speaking the language of your ancestors.
It saddens me to think about the psychological impact this must have had on them and how subsequently that generational trauma was passed down to the next generation.
This has affected so many families, including my own.
You see, I whakapapa Māori but, because of the stigma, my grandfather's parents chose to bury away this part of our DNA like a dirty little secret.
In 1855 Waiau Taranaki Mere Kupa married a Pākehā man named William Ellingham. This is a part of my family tree that, for the longest time, was kept hidden away.
I am of mixed race. My father, a Malaysian South Indian immigrant, was studying at Victoria University in the 1970s and fell in love with a Pākehā Kiwi woman of mixed European descent.

I didn't arrive in Aotearoa until I was 12 years old. Prior to that, I grew up in Penang, Malaysia, a melting pot of rich multiculturalism where it was normal to hear a mixture of Malay, Tamil, Hokkien, Mandarin and English being spoken.
To me, it was so normal to hear and speak different languages.
There was a sort of unspoken mutual respect and understanding among everyone, so much so that we would all partake in each other's cultural and religious celebrations.
Visiting friends and neighbours for Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Hari Raya or Christmas was part of what made growing up in Penang so special.
I also grew up listening to a lot of Māori waiata on our cassette player because Mum had a huge collection of te reo Māori music from her homeland.

Advertise with NZME.I'd often see her tearing up when she would sing along and she would explain to my younger brother and me that it made her homesick.
I understood, even then, that language can be a hugely important part of one's own cultural identity.
I remember when I first arrived here, there was this beautiful rendition of Pōkarekare Ana by Kiri Te Kanawa.
It was featured on an Air New Zealand television commercial and even though I didn't understand the words, it moved me.
The Ka Mate haka has long been used by the All Blacks rugby team to intimidate their opponents prior to a match. These things unite us as proud Kiwis and sets us apart from the rest of the world.
Fast forward to now, living in my second home Aotearoa, it's clear to me that the revitalisation of te reo Māori can be so divisive.

Advertise with NZME.Why, though?
Why do some people get so angry about the resurgence of our country's indigenous language, being spoken alongside English?
Notice I say "alongside" and not instead of?
This isn't mirrored history repeating itself — nobody is beating the language into us.
What is so terrifying about embracing a language that differentiates us from the rest of the world and makes us unique?
If you are reading this and you're one of the people who feels threatened and outraged by the resurgence of te reo Māori, I feel sad for you — because you're going to be left behind.
So get on board, because this waka's leaving with or without you, e hoa! | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/jessie-gurunathan-resurgence-of-te-reo-maori-is-part-of-nzs-culture-not-a-replacement-of-english/RFV4QDUI7GOPAN5HQPX4U5YOJQ/ | 2022-08-27T18:58:37Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/jessie-gurunathan-resurgence-of-te-reo-maori-is-part-of-nzs-culture-not-a-replacement-of-english/RFV4QDUI7GOPAN5HQPX4U5YOJQ/ | false | 3 |

From career milestones and new music releases to major announcements and more, Billboard editors highlight the latest news buzz in Latin music every week. Here’s what happened in the Latin music world this week.
New Selena Music
The Quintanilla family released a new Selena album called Moonchild Mixes, which encompasses 10 of Selena’s original recordings between the ages of 13 and 16. The songs are being released 37 years later via Warner Music Latin. “We as a family had discussed this amongst ourselves that in the future, after Selena’s passing, we were going to maintain her presence through her music and we’ve done that for 27 years,” the late singer’s father Abraham Quintanilla told Billboard. “I’m more than sure that the fans are going to love it because if you listen to it, it’ll move you emotionally and take you back to as if Selena was recording it this morning.” The set, home to singles “Dame Tu Amor,” “No Llores Mas,” “Cariño Mio,” and “Sabes,” is available on all digital platforms and in stores.
Ozuna & FIFA Team Up
Counting down to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Ozuna teamed up with French-Congolese rapper Gims for the new track “Arhbo,” part of the official soundtrack. The feel-good collaboration is named after the local slang word for “welcome” in Qatar and “perfectly embodies the welcoming spirit of the Arabian country. “I think ‘Bienvenidos’, ‘welcome home’ says it all,” Ozuna said in a press statement. “Whatever journey everyone was on, it brought them here, to this moment, and for that moment they are home. They say that ‘home is where the heart is, right? El hogar está donde está el corazón. For all the people who are coming, and all the people who, with all their hearts, want to come, we are saying, ‘bienvenidos’, welcome home!” Watch it here.
Romeos Santos on Billboard Cover
Romeo Santos graces the cover of Billboard‘s latest issue, where he opened up about his upcoming studio album, Formula Vol. 3 to be released on Sept. 1, coinciding with his eldest son’s birthday. “I’ve taken this ‘King of Bachata’ title very personally,” Santos said. “It’s a huge responsibility. It was very risky, very descarado to say, ‘We’re the kings of bachata!’ But you can say anything you want as long as you back it up, and I take pride in that. I want to make sure that all my albums, whether people like them or not, they can listen to and realize there was some production, there was work put in. I’m very meticuloso when it comes to my music. When I do anything, even a salsa, it sounds like Romeo Santos.”

He highlighted the efficiency of the board in reinforcing the squad, praised Pezzolano’s style of play and made a comparison with the model of Palmeiras.
“We faced the strongest team in the championship, I’m not even talking about points, but offside. A very aggressive game, very intense, a team that maintains possession and has an absurd recovery. ball that Cruzeiro plays against their opponents is very big”, he said.
Asked if any team in Brazil has a style similar to that of cruise Given cited the palm trees . “Today we have some examples in Serie A of teams that manage to print a strong rhythm. Palmeiras is an example, perhaps with a little difference, because Palmeiras play more reactively, and Cruzeiro, proposing the game”.

The Nutico coach also stressed that the work carried out by Cruzeiro was fantastic this season. “Cruzeiro doesn’t have any ace today. Cruzeiro lived off the technical quality of several players who wore this shirt, of several superstars, today they don’t. The ace is the collective”, he said.
“The setup was made by the choice of players based on their characteristics, and today Cruzeiro plays an intense game. In exchange, it manages to maintain a qualified game and manages to print a little more intensity. When the opponent starts to fall, Cruzeiro manages to There’s an upward curve. There’s the work of the players, the work of Pezzolano, but Cruzeiro’s management and recruiting work for this Series B was fantastic”, added Dado Cavalcanti. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/27/nutico-coach-praises-cruzeiro-and-makes-comparison-with-palmeiras/ | 2022-08-27T19:07:35Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/27/nutico-coach-praises-cruzeiro-and-makes-comparison-with-palmeiras/ | false | 2 |

Roberto Firmino equalled Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool feat as the Reds brushed aside Bournemouth 9-0 in Saturday’s Premier League encounter.
In the high-scoring encounter at Anfield, the Brazilian scored twice and provided three assists to become the club’s third player to have a hand in five goals in a single league encounter.
Salah achieved this feat during the 2017-18 campaign as he found the net four times with an assist to help Jurgen Klopp’s men silence Watford 5-0 on March 17, 2018. He went ahead to score 32 Premier League goals – an achievement which stands as his highest tally since moving to Europe.
Prior to that, Luis Suarez also achieved a five-goal contribution after scoring four times and supplying one assist in the 5-1 obliteration of Norwich City on December 4, 2013.
Despite playing from start to finish against Scott Parker’s men, Salah was neither on target nor did he bag an assist. Nonetheless, he put up a very impressive display.
Guinea international Naby Keita and former Cameroon international Joel Matip were not listed for action due to injury worries.
On the other end, Nigeria prospect Dominic Solanke was introduced in the 46th minute for Adam Smith, albeit, he could not help the Cherries savour some pride.
Discussing the attitude of the players against the newly-promoted side, Fabio Carvalho told Liverpool website: "The message was to just keep going and not drop our standards.
“Obviously from the second half onwards, you could tell we wanted more and wanted more.
“The message from the more senior players like Hendo and Millie was to keep going and keep going.
“We kept going, stuck to the game plan and the result shows it.”
Thanks to this massive win, Liverpool bounced back from their loss to Manchester United to move up to ninth on the log having accrued five points from four matches played so far.
They would be aiming to continue this newfound form when they take on Newcastle United on August 31.
For Bournemouth, they would be eyeing a return to winning ways against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the same day. | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/firmino-equals-salah-and-suarez-records-as-liverpool/blt1736567513b96221 | 2022-08-27T19:19:59Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/firmino-equals-salah-and-suarez-records-as-liverpool/blt1736567513b96221 | false | 7 |

The Buhari Media Organisation BMO has described the completion of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2 as a big boost to the federal government’s policy of Ease of Doing Business in the country.
The group in a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju says the terminal with its state of the art facilities has the capacity to carry about 14 million passengers every year.
This the Media group believes that it will in increase the attraction of foreign investors to Nigeria as well as boost tourism in Nigeria.
BMO notes that the terminal 2 project started in 2013 and was completed by the present administration in 2022 under a bilateral agreement with the People’s Republic of China.
The group therefore applauds the President Muhammadu Buhari administration for its gigantic infrastructural works in the country.

A Prince George’s County grand jury indicted 13 current Prince George’s County Police officers and one recently retired police officer on misconduct in office as well as felony and misdemeanor theft charges.
The officers are accused of working secondary employment positions with a private security company while also on-duty with the police department. The company provided security at more than 20 apartment complexes in the county. The officers are also accused of providing false information to the apartment complexes to justify the continued hiring of the security company.
The misconduct in office is alleged to have taken place between January 2019 to March 2021.
In February 2021, the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Internal Affairs Division received an internal complaint regarding potential wrongdoing by several of the involved officers. The Internal Affairs Division opened an extensive investigation into the allegations and identified additional officers who could potentially be involved. As the investigation progressed, the police powers of the involved officers were suspended beginning in April 2021. All of the involved officers were assigned to the Special Assignment Teams of Landover III and Westphalia VIII Patrol Divisions, which were proactive saturation teams under the Bureau of Patrol.
“This is truly a disheartening day for the men and women who represent the very best of the Prince George’s County Police Department. All people, including officers, retain the right of due process under the law, yet the allegations on this large group of officers are deeply troubling. If the allegations are proven true during the judicial process, their actions not only tarnish the badge we all wear proudly, but also erode the community’s trust. I want to stress to our supportive community that this investigation originated within our agency. Whenever we become aware of potential misconduct, we thoroughly investigate and if needed, we deliver the case to the States’ Attorney’s Office for possible criminal charges. That’s exactly what happened in this situation. We remain on a road to restore our noble and trusted police brand that offers a professional police service to our community. We have implemented a philosophy of trust, fairness, and equity that our residents demand and deserve. Our officers are striving to be the epitome of 21st Century Policing in this modern police era of positive reformation. I remain proud to be the lead representative for the dedicated men and women who serve our residents above reproach,” said Police Chief Malik Aziz.
Starting in July of 2021, the Prince George’s County Police Department began implementing changes to the department’s secondary employment policy to include:
- Employees are prohibited from engaging in the business of providing security guards, special police officers, or any other law enforcement-related services to commercial establishments or other individuals within Prince George’s County.
- The department purchased a software program to manage secondary employment jobs. Officers must clock in and out using this program.
- Site inspections are being conducted by the Internal Affairs Division’s Discovery & Compliance Unit.
- When new businesses look for secondary employment, an email announcing the opportunity is sent out to all officers through county email.
- The agency started a randomization process when selecting site coordinators for new jobs to ensure a variety of coordinators, which also limits the number of locations that one officer can coordinate.
The indicted officers are below.
- Corporal Nick Agapov,Joined agency in 2011
- Corporal Jonathan Haskett, Joined agency in 2015
- Corporal Mathew Obordo ,Joined agency in 2013

Neeraj Chopra Gifts Gold Medal Winning Javelin To Olympic Museum
Neeraj Chopra has gifted his historic Tokyo Olympics gold medal winning javelin to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland
- Press Trust of India
- Updated: August 27, 2022 11:59 PM IST
Neeraj Chopra has gifted his historic Tokyo Olympics gold medal winning javelin to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. The Indian, who became the first track and field athlete from the country to win an Olympic medal at Tokyo last year, on Saturday gifted his most-prized javelin to the museum. "For any athlete, it is a great honour to be able to inspire others," Chopra, who won the Olympic gold with a throw of 87.58m, told Olympics.com.
The museum has a rich collection of 120 years, which includes the rifle of Abhinav Bindra, who became the first Indian to win an individual Olympic gold at Beijing 2008.
The museum is managed by the International Olympic Committee's Heritage team with an objective of securing Olympic legacy.
"I can see Abhinav Bindra's rifle at the museum which gives me tremendous motivation. I hope my javelin has the same impact on future athletes, especially from India," Chopra added. Bindra, who is also a member of the IOC Athletes' Commission, was also present on the occasion.

"I am delighted that his javelin will now join my rifle at the Olympic Museum, which has been a bit lonely in terms of Indian company so far," an emotional Bindra said.
More than 90,000 artefacts, 650,000 photographs, 45,000 hours of videos, and 1.5km of historical archives are managed at the Olympic Museum. | https://sports.ndtv.com/athletics/neeraj-chopra-gifts-gold-medal-winning-javelin-to-olympic-museum-3292950 | 2022-08-27T19:36:32Z | https://sports.ndtv.com/athletics/neeraj-chopra-gifts-gold-medal-winning-javelin-to-olympic-museum-3292950 | true | 1 |
The 14th race of the 2022 Formula 1 season will be this Belgian Grand Prix, and here you can check out everything you need to know about this race, such as the preview, information, predictions, odds, storylines, and how to watch or live stream it free in the US. You can watch it live in the US on FuboTV (free trial).
Little more than half of the Grand Prix stipulated for this 2022 season have gone, and although there are still several races ahead where anything could happen, it begins to seem that the next three will be fundamental. It is that the difference between Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc has not stopped growing (see the standings here).
At the moment the difference between the two is 70 points, a difference that could be reduced, but not before at least 3 or 4 Grands Prix. It could therefore be said that these upcoming races will be decisive since if the gap continues to grow, it will be impossible for Ferrari and Leclerc to reduce it. That is why this Belgian GP will be exciting, and while you wait for Sunday for F1, you can enjoy the definition of the regular season of Nascar this Saturday, August 27.

Belgian Grand Prix: Storylines
Although there are still several races left in this 2022 season, the feeling is that the next 3 Grands Prix will be decisive. Max Verstappen's 70-point difference over Charles Leclerc at the moment seems impossible to overcome, although of course in numbers it is entirely possible. Bu the problem is performance.
While the Monegasque has had a few mistakes during the championship that cost him points, the most points lost by Ferrari have been due to team problems. The reliability of the car and strategic mistakes like the one they had in the Monaco GP paid dearly. Without a doubt it is time to get results if you want to reach the end with possibilities.
How to Watch Belgian Grand Prix the US and the UK

Four years ago, the world learned the name Pussy Riot, a politically active Russian art collective whose members were all women. Members of that group staged a punk rock demonstration in a church in protest of Russian president Vladimir Putin and the Russian church's support of his presidential campaign.
Some members of the group, including founding Pussy Riot member Nadya Tolokonnikova, were arrested and charged with "hooliganism." They spent two years in prison, and during that time, Pussy Riot gained many supporters around the world. Some say their fame put pressure on Putin to release them.
But inside Russia, the protest movement is suffering, as some prominent opposition politicians have been killed. "A lot of Russian people who would consider political action for themselves, they think right now they would be killed," Tolokonnikova says. "Because it's not just words right now."
While she still creates art in protest of Vladimir Putin and his policies, Tolokonnikova has recently set her sights on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. She released a new song and music video called "Make America Great Again." (The video is here, but be aware: It is intense and includes scenes and imagery that will be disturbing to many viewers.)
Tolokonnikova says the U.S. presidential election is important for her as a Russian citizen. "American politics influence the world politics," she says. "In a lot of ways, [the U.S.] really interferes in other countries' politics. I'm not discussing is it a good or bad thing, but it is a thing, so that's why it will influence everybody else's lives outside America."
Tolokonnikova spoke with NPR's David Greene about Donald Trump and the future of Pussy Riot. Hear the full interview at the audio link.

Book Review by Tenzin Norzin*
Warriors of the Snowland – A History of Chushi Gangdrug (Volume I)
By The Welfare Society of Central Dokham Chushi Gangdrug
Ebook published 2022 by Blue Rose Publishers, New Delhi, London
ISBN 978-93-93388-92-6
Pp 377, Price: INR 200, available at Amazon, Flipkart
(Available also as hardbound, price not mentioned)
This very readable book is a well-documented account of the formation of the organization of the Chushi Gangdrug resistance heroes and the resilient battles they put up against the vicious Chinese Communist forces in central Tibet from mid-1950’s to 1962. It includes many primary sources, first-hand accounts and historical documents from those years. I highly recommend this book to readers because it manages to perfectly narrate the agonizing events that took place in Tibet around the time of the Chinese invasion.
The book narrates the volatile beginnings of the Tibetan resistance movement and how it was ignited to the horrifying events that occurred, eventually leading on to the historic 10th of March national and 12th of March women’s uprising that took place in Lhasa in 1959. Finally, it outlines how His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama was forced to flee to India from his own country, followed by thousands of his people, and escorted by a group of Chushi Gangdrug fighters and Tibetan officials.
It is undoubtedly one of the most indelible events that happened in the long history of Tibet. Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, was under the dominance of the People’s Republic of China since the Tibetan government was forced to sign the ‘Seventeen Point Agreement’ in 1951, which recognized China’s rule in return for its promises to protect Tibet’s political system and Tibetan Buddhism. Many Tibetans were dissatisfied at heart and a few ‘protests’ had happened due to the general Tibetan public’s disapproval of the agreement that was forced on the Tibetan side under duress. And it made them fear that their country would eventually fall into the hands of the vicious Chinese.
Tibet by then had lost a great deal of military power as the influence of Buddhism had grown even deeper amongst its people. Under it, Tibetans had chosen to live the ‘peaceful’ way of life. And so, the country’s military power eventually weakened, including due to not acquiring enough weapons, lack of training and modern supplies, and on account of remaining aloof from world conflicts. They even knew that if China was to occupy Tibet all of a sudden, there would have been little to no chance of victory.
However, the heroic and courageous fighters in the Chushi Gangdrug resistance army (‘Volunteer Defence of the Faith’ army) took it upon themselves to protect the religious faith, nationhood, and ethnicity of the Snowland of Tibet by risking and sacrificing their very lives in fighting the barbaric enemy.
It was rising tension between the two sides after the signing of the so-called agreement which eventually led to an armed conflict between Tibetan guerrillas and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA). It began in 1956 in the Kham and Amdo regions, when China subjected their residents to ‘socialist reforms’. Their guerrilla war later spread to other areas of Tibet. The ferocity of the resistance put up by the Tibetan resistance fighters earned them everyone’s applause and respect. However, in the end, they ended up being routed by the enemy due to lack of modern supplies which the Chinese PLA possessed. The CIA (America’s Central Intelligence Agency) provided training and am arms and this enabled the Tibetan resistance to last through 1962.
This absorbing account goes on to show how Tibetans were enslaved, deprived of their basic rights, forcibly brainwashed by the Chinese, and were all too often martyred for their faith. It truly shows how a deceiving China cunningly and carefully planned everything, and tricked the Tibetan people by sugar-coating their every word and action, distributing silver coins here and there, and even giving the elderly and the sick free medical treatment. By such means, the Chinese tricked the Tibetan people into coming to its side, making them think highly of them. Indeed, many Tibetans took to trusting the Chinese more than their own side, and their own people.
The book covers all sorts of struggles made by the brave people of Tibet for their freedom and independence. It is a great source of information for scholars and researchers on Tibet, as it is based on first-hand accounts of former fighters. It was personally a very moving, disturbing and stimulating read for me as a young Tibetan who wishes to learn more about our history, and aspires to be a Tibetan who truly understands what it means to say “Free Tibet”.
This book brings to light our honourable yet tragic history, which has otherwise been buried under the lies and destruction and rewritten histories of the Chinese Communist Party, to be spewed out extensively to the rest of the world for the past six decades. Unlike the flood of biased Chinese media reports and falsely evidenced and fictional version of history, the information in this book were gathered from original sources.
One of the most important reasons why I enjoyed reading this book was how neatly it summarizes all the first-hand information given by former fighters, and how nicely they managed to make the readers imagine and feel for themselves what was experienced by those resistance fighters. This book is much more than just words on paper; it shows the actual sorrow, suffering, and pain the Tibetan people had to endure under the Chinese Communist Party’s invasion of our land. It shows how China eventually revealed itself to be a hungry tiger in a sheep’s skin. But it also shows how the small army of Tibetans with a deeply patriotic spirit later played a huge part in the fight for Tibet’s freedom. This is a must-read book for today’s generation of Tibetans, as many of us still don’t know of the sacrifices and lives that were lost in vain, and for the reason that we stay true to our nation, religion and faith.

From beating boys to becoming World Judo Cadet champion
Linthoi sets her sights on Paris Olympics in 2024
Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Aug 27: The opponents of World Cadet Judo Championship gold medallist Linthoi Chanambam bore the brunt of her prowess on the mat here but not long ago her male friends in her native town in Manipur had faced the same.
The 16-year-old Linthoi, who on Friday became the first Indian to win a medal in the World Championships across any age-group, used to beat up boys while growing up at Mayang Imphal, around 25km from state capital Imphal.
Her helpless parents had to take the injured boys to nearby hospital.
“I took up Judo in my childhood as I believed myself to be a boy and not a girl. And, as a kid, I hardly had friends who were girls. Most of them were boys,” a beaming Linthoi said during a virtual media interaction.
“So, I used to fight with them a lot and ended up injuring some of them as well. My parents had to take them to the hospital, at times,” she said with a laugh.
Linthoi has a humble background. Her father is a farmer and mother a home maker. She has two other siblings, an older and a younger sister.
She scripted history by defeating Brazilian Bianca Reis in the women’s 57kg category event final on Friday.
“I feel absolutely great. It is an incredible feeling. I feel like I did something from the bottom of my heart and here is the result.”
“I started Judo from 2014 and I came to Inspire Institute of Sports (IIS) in Bellary in October, 2017. The last five years, with so much of support from everyone, my life has really changed.”
Linthoi said her father played a pivotal role in reaching where she is right now.
“The academy where I was previously part of before joining IIS was at a stone’s throw distance from my home. So, my father always accompanied me during my practice sessions,” she said.
“I always wanted to take up a sport like Judo from a very young age. In fact, I love boxing and football as well. But there were quite a few Judo academies near my home town. That’s what attracted me most about this sport and my family supported me from the very beginning,” she added.
The journey, however, has been quite difficult for Linthoi as it was not easy for her to bid adieu to her parents in Imphal and come straight to Bellary in Karnataka.
“It was very difficult. I always stayed with my father. The day I went to Telangana for the National Championships, my dad was crying inconsolably,” laughs Linthoi.
“It was very difficult for me to console her father. They do have a very good bonding. But, yeah, she proved, that she is an extraordinary talent and too good,” quipped her coach Mamuka Kizilashvili.
All of 16, Linthoi has many feathers in her cap. Apart from being the reigning cadet world champion, she first won a gold at the sub-junior national championship in 2018.
In 2021, she clinched gold in the National Championships in Chandigarh. It was followed by another gold at the Asian Cadet and Junior Judo Championships in July this year.
“I first saw her in Telangana. I was part of the talent identification development programme that unearths talented judokas from all over India,” Mamuka recollected.
“When I visited Imphal, I was surprised to see the passion people have for the sport there. The first time I saw her, I instantly knew that she has something in her to become a world class athlete, although she was very young then.
“When as a coach, you start training an athlete from such a young athlete, it is very easy to mould them. It really worked for her too. She also proved it big time.” Mamuka said Linthoi’s gold-winning feat was a historic achievement and could change Indian Judo in the coming days.
“Both the Indian government and the Sports Authority of India are doing the right things to support the athletes. For instance, Linthoi was only 13 when we recommended her to SAI. And, they funded her from that very moment,” he said.
Linthoi has already set sights to perform at the bigger stage, including the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.
“I will try my best to win a gold medal in Paris. But, if not in Paris, I am sure I can do it at the 2028 Olympics (in Los Angeles),” Linthoi signed off.

LIV joins lawsuit against PGA Tour as 4 players drop off
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
Saudi-funded LIV Golf has joined the antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour in an amended complaint in which four players have removed their names.
That leaves seven players, most notably Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau, along with LIV Golf as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The four who withdrew their names are Carlos Ortiz, Abraham Ancer, Pat Perez and Jason Kokrak.
The amended complaint was filed Friday afternoon in the U.S. District Court in Northern California. Three players still on the lawsuit — Matt Jones, Talor Gooch and Hudson Swafford — previously sought a temporary restraining order to played in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
The judge denied their request two weeks ago.
The lawsuit claims the PGA Tour has used monopoly power to try to squash competition and has unfairly suspended players.
Greg Norman, the CEO of LIV Golf, has said the league would fully support the players in any legal action they pursued. LIV Golf, backed by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund, now is directly involved.
In the amended complaint, LIV Golf argues that without a favorable ruling, its “ability to maintain a meaningful competitive presence in the markets will be destroyed.”
LIV Golf alleges the PGA Tour’s restraints forced it to raise its costs to sign players and kept it from recruiting others who fear the threat of being punished. It also claims the tour forced LIV Golf to delay its launch for 2022 and have a smaller schedule in its first year.
LIV Golf has offered several big names signing fees that are reported to be worth $150 million or more, in addition to the $25 million in prize money at each event. LIV Golf has staged three tournaments so far. The fourth is next weekend outside Boston.
The amended complaint says while LIV Golf has launched its tour despite “supracompetitive costs” and reduced access to players, “facing headwinds of this nature is not sustainable.”
The PGA Tour has leaned on its right that its members require a conflicting event release to play overseas, and no releases are granted for North American events. Five such LIV events are on the schedule this year.
The tour has suspended players who complete in LIV Golf without a release — none were granted — and most of those suspensions are through March 2024.
U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman ruled in denying the temporary restraining order that LIV Golf did not show irreparable harm because of how much money the players were making to sign and from prize money, and that PGA Tour regulations to suspend players in this case was not unreasonable.
Freeman set a summary judgment hearing for July 23, 2023, and a tentative trial date for Jan. 8, 2024.
LIV Golf already has signed some two dozen PGA Tour players and is likely to add as many as six more after the PGA Tour ends its season Sunday in Atlanta at the Tour Championship.

Star power set to dominate in WNBA semifinals
The top four seeds are the ones left standing as the Las Vegas Aces, Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun and Seattle Storm are locked into what could be some of the most memorable series the WNBA has ever seen.
TSN.ca Staff
,The top four seeds are the ones left standing as the Las Vegas Aces, Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun and Seattle Storm are locked into what could be some of the most memorable series the WNBA has ever seen.
Watch the Las Vegas Aces take on the Seattle Storm in Game 1 Sunday at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT on TSN3/4, TSN.ca and the TSN App followed by Game 1 between the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun on TSN5, TSN.ca and the TSN App at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
The Aces and the Storm meet in a clash of star-powered titans, headlined by Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson. The other series sees the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun in a rematch of last year’s semifinals, which saw the Sky prevail en route to their first championship.
Las Vegas Aces (1) vs. Seattle Storm (4)
While the matchup between the leading MVP candidates Stewart and Wilson is the main attraction in a series featuring seven No. 1 picks, the likes of Kelsey Plum, Jewell Loyd, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young all have the capabilities to be game changers in this series.
The Storm wants to send franchise icon Sue Bird out with a title, and the WNBA legend is doing her part. Bird’s points-per-game average has leapt from 7.8 in the regular season to 14 in the postseason. The sentiment for winning a championship holds even truer for Tina Charles, whose packed trophy case is missing a WNBA title.
Health for key players will be a question going in as Seattle’s Gabby Williams left Game 2 against the Mystics with a concussion while Dearica Hamby has yet to suit up for the Aces in the postseason due to a right knee injury.
This series is a rematch of the 2020 WNBA Finals where Seattle swept the Aces and Stewart took home Finals MVP honours. But this is a different Aces team, with 2022 WNBA coach of the year Becky Hammon at the helm and a more experienced core of Wilson, Plum and Young.
The Aces won the regular-season series against the Storm 3-1 and were dominant all season long. However, it is difficult to ignore the championship experience the Storm have, especially if their big three of Stewart, Loyd and Bird are all healthy and clicking. Las Vegas has carved out their place as the favourite for a reason, but it would not be shocking if Seattle prevailed.
Chicago Sky (2) vs. Connecticut Sun (3)
A rematch of last year’s semifinals, the Sky look for a second trip in a row to the title series while the Sun look for their first appearance in the Finals since 2019.
Unlike the Aces and Storm this year, who swept their opponents in the first round, the Sky and Sun both faced challenges from the New York Liberty and Dallas Wings respectively as both teams took a game in their series before the more experienced squads won out.
The Sun did not have the offence to match the Sky last season. This time around, Connecticut will be hungry for revenge and defence will have to be their backbone as they face another round of Candace Parker, Kahleah Copper and Courtney Vandersloot. Offensively, the Sun will need more from Courtney Williams. Brought in to help their offence as a free agent, her PPG has dipped from 11.1 to 5.7 in the playoffs.
The Sun have the pressure of trying to break through and win their first championship with their current core while the Sky look for a repeat championship. The odds are in Chicago’s favour, but we’ll see if the Sun can rise to the occasion. | https://www.tsn.ca/star-power-set-to-dominate-in-wnba-semifinals-1.1841536 | 2022-08-27T20:01:25Z | https://www.tsn.ca/star-power-set-to-dominate-in-wnba-semifinals-1.1841536 | true | 1 |
How do we deal with problems in life?
Is there anyone in this world who doesn't have problems? Everybody has problems. Problems related to health, finances, relationships, employment.
Is there anyone in this world who doesn't have problems? Everybody has problems. Problems related to health, finances, relationships, employment. A problem-free life seems like an illusion — it doesn't exist. Given the fact that problems will come our way, how do we deal with problems? How can we enjoy life? How do we not get overwhelmed by our problems? How do we live life when there are so many problems?
Most people get consumed by their problems. They get stressed, worried; their health suffers. They even consider taking their own life. But suicide does not end problems or suffering or the challenges we face. Death is only a bend, not the end. The suffering we face is a result of our own Karma. If the Karma that we bring with us when we are reborn is not settled, we will have to deal with it in the next life. And consequently, suffer and face problems again.
Those who learn how to live life the way it is meant to be lived, learn to deal with problems. They realise that just because we have problems, it does not mean that we should be miserable, depressed, unhappy. They learn to put their problems in proper perspective. They realise that problems are like zooming trains. They come, they go. They don't stay forever. Therefore, they don't let problems defeat them or get the better of them. They look at their problems and troubles in the face and deal with them with courage and confidence. And usually, they win over their problems and live blissfully. Wise people never become obsessed with their problems. They anticipate problems, they welcome them, and they deal with problems with a game-playing attitude. They laugh at their problems and look at each problem in its micro-size. They don't let any problem consume them. They refuse to worry or fret about their problems. They believe in this simple truth, 'For every problem under the sun, there is a remedy or there is none. If there is one, try to find it. If there is none, never mind it!'
There are a few people who don't get affected by problems at all! Not one bit. Why? Because they have realised what life truly is. They have realised the truth. They understand that whatever unfolds in our life is because of our own actions, our Karma. It is not a matter of luck or chance. It is our own Karma, our past actions that are coming back to us, that are unfolding as problems. In fact, when challenges or some suffering comes their way, they rejoice, they celebrate because they know that their Karma is being settled.
These people, as said above, have realised the truth about life. They realise that nothing is real. Life is an illusion. Everything is like a dream. Even though we are awake, and it seems that whatever is happening in our life is real and the problems are not imaginary, they realise that nothing lasts forever. This drama of life will come to an end and so will our problems. They are enlightened with the truth. As seekers of the truth, of the Divine, they strive to remain ever-connected with God. They evolve from the state of the mind to being in the state of consciousness, a state of 'thoughtlessness'. They experience SatChitAnanda, true bliss which comes from living in the state of consciousness of the truth.
We must strive to realise the truth of life, of this world, who we are. We are not the body, mind and ego, what we appear to be — we are the Divine Soul, a Spark Of Unique Life. We must realise that everything is only a Leela of the Divine. We must live life as an audience, as spectators or observers of a big drama that is being performed on a stage called Earth. We are actors, we have roles to perform and we must do our part to the best of our abilities. We must come to the realisation that soon the show will be over and learn to enjoy the drama called 'Life'. We must live with acceptance and surrender, connected to the Supreme Immortal Power, we call God.

A “thorough examination” by the Buffalo Bills into gang rape allegations against punter Matt Araiza failed because coach Sean McDermott only learned more of the important details after a civil lawsuit was filed against the rookie.
Now, the Bills are under fire for sticking with a player facing serious accusations.
The criticism is deserved.
Thanks to a dynamic offense led by Josh Allen and a stout defense, the Bills enter the season as favorites to win the Super Bowl, per oddsmakers. They don’t need a sixth-round pick — even a “Punt God” — to be the difference-maker in January and February.
Fresh off suspending Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson 11 games for sexual misconduct, the NFL is concerned about public perception and Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear the league will not tolerate any violence against women.
But the NFL has limitations in this case because the incident occurred while Araiza was in college so he can’t be punished under the personal conduct policy. The league always lets the legal process play out first.
“The facts of the incident are not what they are portrayed in the lawsuit or in the press,” Araiza said in a statement released through his agent, Joe Linta. “I look forward to quickly setting the record straight.”
A San Diego police investigation has been turned over to the district attorney’s office to determine whether to pursue charges. DA spokeswoman Tanya Sierra said Friday there was no timeline as to how long a decision will take.
Still, the NFL could — and should — try to influence Buffalo’s decision in order to “protect the shield.”
Araiza, who led San Diego State to a record-setting season and two of his former Aztecs teammates, were accused of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl at an off-campus party last fall. The attorney for the California teenager told The Associated Press on Friday the Bills didn’t contact him for details.
Clearly, the team’s investigation wasn’t complete.
“We have work to do,” McDermott said Friday night.
McDermott said he gained new information after the lawsuit came out.
“Again, it’s not a situation we take lightly,” he added. “I’m hurt, I understand (players on the team) are hurt. And it’s emotional. It’s not easy to hear about some of the things that I’ve heard about over the last several hours say.”
The Bills didn’t do their homework before the draft, either.
A person familiar with the situation told the AP the Bills weren’t aware of the allegations against Araiza before the draft in April.
Several other teams executives also have told the AP they weren’t aware. But executives from two different teams told the AP they became aware of Araiza’s involvement in an incident during the draft process. Neither person knew the extent of the allegations and both people said it didn’t impact Araiza’s status on their draft boards because they weren’t interested in selecting the punter.
All the people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
NFL teams typically do extensive research on players before the draft, especially players they plan to select in the early rounds. It’s not uncommon for anyone with a potential red flag to slide in the draft.
Some clubs, of course, do a better job scouting players and uncovering character questions. The Bills fell way short in their assessment of Araiza, who was chosen with the 180th overall pick.
Araiza is innocent until proven guilty, but it’s not too late to correct a mistake.

Fishman was sent to the minors in early August, and he posted a 2.79 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 9.2 innings over six appearances following his demotion.

Calhoun will sit for the third straight game Saturday against the Tigers.
It's possible the Rangers are prioritizing giving at-bats to younger players down the stretch in the lost season, though the last two of Calhoun's absences have come against lefties like Saturday's starter Eduardo Rodriguez, so it's too early to say that the veteran has been benched. Whatever the reason, it will be Bubba Thompson who starts in left field on this occasion. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/rangers-kole-calhoun-remains-on-bench/ | 2022-08-27T20:18:33Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/rangers-kole-calhoun-remains-on-bench/ | false | null |
Ariana: Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, leader of Hizb-e-Islami, on Friday called for establishment of a council whose members would be elected by the people and which would draft a constitution and decide the future governance system. “We never want to join a government which is not formed based on the people’s votes…where the highest authority is not a council that would represent the national consensus, a council whose members are not elected by the people and whose decisions are not fully respected ” Hekmatyar said at his weekly sermon.

KSI is fighting twice on an “influencer boxing” card and he handled his business to open the card. KSI faced Swarmz and knocked him out early in the second round. You can watch video of the knockout below.

— Adam (@FGRAdam) August 27, 2022
KSI improved to 2-0 as a professional boxer while Swarmz is 0-1 after making his boxing debut. KSI was scheduled to fight Alex Wassabi, but the latter had to withdraw on August 6 due to a concussion he received while training.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — An elaborate fireworks display took place Saturday under calm skies in Hungary’s capital after a postponement of the show last weekend caused controversy when it led to the firing of the country’s top meteorologists over their weather predictions.
Saturday’s event, a rescheduling of the display planned for Hungary’s national holiday a week earlier, drew tens of thousands to the Danube River in Budapest in what was billed as Europe’s largest fireworks show.
On Monday, the two top officials at Hungary’s National Meteorological Service were fired after the government committee managing holiday events postponed the show based on the weather service’s prediction of a high probability of heavy rain that evening.
While storms did strike other areas of Hungary that night, they did not hit the capital. Weather service chief Kornelia Radics, who had served since 2013, and her deputy Gyula Horvath, who has served since 2016, lost their jobs.
Gabor Valter Tolczli, a spectator at Saturday’s fireworks show, said “I was surprised that the fireworks were postponed a week ago because there was no storm then. But today I don’t mind the postponement, because there are fewer crowds."
He added, however, that he was "outraged that the meteorologists were fired, because you can never predict the weather 100%.”
The firings led to accusations from critics of Hungary’s nationalist government, led by autocratic Prime Minister Viktor Orban, of punitive political pressure reminiscent of Hungary’s communist past.
Academics and scientists in Hungary have long complained of pressure being exerted on independent scientific bodies and Orban’s government has been accused of corruption, nepotism and anti-democratic tendencies.
This has led to clashes with the European Union, which has withheld billions in pandemic recovery funds from Hungary over what the bloc sees as deficiencies in the Hungarian government’s adherence to basic values and the rule of law.
Hungary’s government says the firings were related to the Aug. 20 forecast but that the minister overseeing the weather service had previously been dissatisfied with its performance. In a news conference Tuesday, Orban’s chief of staff, Gergely Gulyas, said the service’s assessment of a high probability of extreme weather — which never came — was “the last straw."
On Wednesday, Hungary’s government appointed Laszlo Hanyecz, the weather service’s vice president for economic affairs, as its interim head. Of 19 leading officials at the agency, Hanyecz, who is not a meteorologist, was one of only two not to sign a letter demanding the reinstatement of the fired weather chiefs.
Climate Without Borders, an international network of weather presenters, released a letter signed by 76 members from 48 countries expressing solidarity with the fired forecasters.
“As forecasters, our first mission is to protect life and property. When Hungarian meteorologists saw danger in the forecast, they did what any of us would do — warned of the risk to life,” the letter read, condemning the firings.

LONDON (AP) — Stinking piles of garbage on the streets of Edinburgh are threatening the health and safety of the public, a health authority warned Saturday as strikes by garbage collectors in the Scottish capital moved into their ninth day.
The warning from Public Health Scotland came as garbage collectors in Newham, a borough of London, also walked out for a week over a pay dispute.
Images of food waste and diapers rotting on the streets is just adding to scenes of chaos in U.K. as industrial disputes multiply amid soaring food and energy costs. Bathers in the U.K. were warned last week to stay away from dozens of beaches as heavy rain flushed raw sewage into rivers and seas.
Public Health Scotland told local authorities that the “decontamination of public areas where bins have overflowed may be required.” It warned that “if organic waste builds up, it can become a risk to human health.”
Garbage collectors walked out on Aug. 18 and plan to stay off work until Aug. 30. Even more strikes lay ahead if the pay dispute is not resolved.
Britain is facing a massive cost-of-living crisis, with wage increases failing to keep up with inflation, which last week stood at 10.1%. Those financial challenges have only been increased due to soaring energy costs — authorities say residents in Britain will see an 80% increase in their annual energy bills in October.
The country has seen waves of strikes this summer, with the public transport system grinding to a virtual halt on several days due to rail strikes. Primary schools and nurseries in Glasgow, Scotland’s biggest city, will be forced to close for several days next month if a strike from council workers goes ahead.
In London, garbage drivers in Newham Council began a week of walkouts on Saturday, with union officials warning there could be more. Sharon Graham, general secretary of the Unite union, said those workers were paid less than others in neighboring councils.
“The council must now focus on reaching a deal with the workers, who face a financial crisis,” Graham said. “If they don’t, then the coming days will undoubtedly mean more industrial action.”
Britain’s image has taken a battering this summer. French lawmakers in the European Parliament complained this week that the raw sewage flushed into rivers and seas by the U.K. also threatens bathing waters, fishing grounds and biodiversity in the European Union as well.
Parts of Britain’s sewage system became overwhelmed after several days of unseasonably heavy rainfall.

Manchester United have agreed personal terms with Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano relayed the news this evening, confirming that there is no deal as yet between the clubs.
“Martin Dubravka has agreed personal terms with Manchester United,” Romano tweeted.
“He’s hoping for Newcastle to agree and let him go as it’s a massive opportunity.
“#MUFC Utd are offering loan with £5m buy option, Newcastle still asking for permanent but Dubravka hopes they will let him go.”

A loan with buy option is the perfect arrangement for United as they watch with interest how their own loanee, Dean Henderson, performs at Nottingham Forest.
With David de Gea being in the last year of his contract and doubts increasingly expressed about his ability to come off his line and play sweeper-keeper, the club might decide to replace him at the end of the season.
His wages, reported to be over £350,000 a week, are by far the highest of any goalkeeper in the world and it is unlikely the club would want to renew at that level as he enters his 33rd year next season.
Henderson could be the natural successor, although an ill-advised interview at the start of the season about his treatment under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have burnt a few bridges in terms of a future at the club.
Dubravka is one of four keepers at Newcastle and has lost his place in the starting XI to Nick Pope.
He would be an upgrade on the current number 2 at United, Tom Heaton, a safe pair of hands but now 36 years of age.
The Slovakian himself is 33 but as an established Premier League keeper, a one year loan of a player of that age should be a safe move for United. | https://thepeoplesperson.com/2022/08/27/martin-dubravka-agrees-personal-terms-with-man-united-251886/ | 2022-08-27T20:48:35Z | https://thepeoplesperson.com/2022/08/27/martin-dubravka-agrees-personal-terms-with-man-united-251886/ | false | 1 |

NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams rose from her sideline seat after a break during a training session inside Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday, and as she walked to the baseline at the end of the court covered by shade on a steamy morning, a few voices from the stands called out in unison, “Serena, we love you!”
About to hit some serves in preparation for the first round of the U.S. Open on Monday night — and what could wind up being the last singles match of her career — the 23-time Grand Slam champion did not break stride, although she did turn her head in the fans’ direction, acknowledging the sentiment with a smile.
Later, there were similar cries from the crowd and a couple of rounds of applause for Williams, who is also entered in doubles after she and her older sister, Venus, were given a wild-card entry by the U.S. Tennis Association.
“It’s the end of a great career. And hopefully she can finish it off feeling good about herself and enjoying the moment and enjoying the crowd and listening to the people, to everyone, saying how much they love her,” said Rennae Stubbs, who won four Slam titles in women’s doubles and has been working with Williams, alongside coach Eric Hechtman, since last week. “She responds to that in a positive way and not in a negative way. She embraces it. My goal is to have her hopefully enjoy this moment.”
With the temperature in the 80s and not a trace of a breeze, Williams was out there a little less than an hour, pausing at one point to eat some fruit. This followed an earlier hitting session on a smaller practice court adjacent to Ashe.
“We’ve been friends for a long time. I’ve helped her and advised her in ways before. She just wanted a friendly voice around her. I’m her friend and she knows that I know tennis,” said Stubbs, whose previous coaching included time with another former No. 1, two-time major finalist Karolina Pliskova. “She was just like: ‘Do you want to come on the court and give me some thoughts?’ And I said: ‘Of course.‘”
While every match — in singles and doubles — and each practice session involving Williams, who turns 41 next month, is sure to draw plenty of eyeballs, there is more to know about the year’s last Grand Slam tournament.
NADAL AND RACE FOR NO. 1
Novak Djokovic is missing a Grand Slam tournament for the second time this season because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19, and — combined with not earning any ranking points for his Wimbledon championship — his hold on No. 1 in the ATP rankings has slipped. He’ll be No. 7 on Monday. Five men have a chance to be No. 1 after the U.S. Open, and Rafael Nadal is among them. He has won four of his men’s-record 22 Grand Slam titles in New York, where he is competing for the first time since 2019. The 36-year-old Spaniard is 19-0 in majors this season, with trophies at the Australian Open in January and French Open in June, followed by a run to the Wimbledon semifinals in July before withdrawing because of a torn abdominal muscle, an injury he says is particularly “dangerous” and “risky” while serving now. Current No. 1 Daniil Medvedev, the defending U.S. Open champion, Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Casper Ruud need to reach the Sept. 11 final to have a shot at topping the rankings the next day.
OSAKA IS ‘ANXIOUS’
Naomi Osaka won two of her four Grand Slam titles at the U.S. Open so might normally be considered a true contender to leave New York with another. She has not been at her best, however, entering her first-round showdown against Australian Open runner-up Danielle Collins on Tuesday night. Osaka, a former No. 1 now at No. 44, is on a three-match losing streak and is 2-6 since the start of April. “I feel like I would have lied, like, a day ago or so and said that I was really relaxed. But actually, when I practiced today, I felt very anxious,” Osaka said Saturday. “I think it’s ’cause I really want to do well, ’cause I feel I haven’t been doing well lately. I don’t know. It’s tough. Like, of course, you don’t want to lose in the first round of a Slam.”
COACHING COMES TO A MAJOR
For the first time at a Grand Slam tournament, in-match coaching will be allowed at the U.S. Open. Coaches must sit in designated courtside seats and only can communicate with players while they’re at the same end of the arena. Count 10th-seeded Taylor Fritz, the highest-ranked American man, among those who aren’t thrilled. “I don’t like it,” Fritz said. “Tennis is an individual sport, so why should someone else be able to help you?”
NEW TIEBREAKER FORMAT
It’s no longer enough to win seven points to claim a final-set tiebreaker at Flushing Meadows; now a player needs to get to 10. The U.S. Open joined the three other major tournaments in agreeing to adopt a uniform system this season: At 6-all in the third set of women’s matches and fifth set of men’s, a first-to-10, win-by-two tiebreaker will be used to determine the winner.

Details surrounding Wendy Williams’ financial problem have been unveiled.
via: Page Six
LaShawn Thomas tells Page Six exclusively in a lengthy statement that Wells Fargo financial adviser Lori Schiller, who no longer works for Williams but is embroiled in her lawsuit against the bank, is attempting to “muddy the waters” by allegedly contributing to a false report that Williams’ son misused her American Express card.
“The real issue is that Wells Fargo, through their adviser, refused to grant Wendy access to her own accounts, this includes the right to check her balance,” Thomas says.
“No bank should have the authority to do that. No one attempted to gain access to any of Wendy’s accounts. The Wells Fargo adviser and [former manager Bernie Young] were the only people with access. … They left Wendy to die.”
Thomas explains that because Williams, 58, had no access to any of her funds, she was forced to use her AmEx for “all of her living expenses,” including flights to and from New York for doctor’s appointments, groceries, etc. Since the shock jock’s health has taken a turn, her 22-year-old son, Kevin Hunter Jr., has stepped in to help her “both mentally and physically with the assistance of a team of doctors,” according to the lawyer.
“He coordinated all of her appointments, made sure she attended all appointments, cooked and cleaned for his mother,” Thomas’ statement continues. “He absolutely loves his mother without question, and no one should place any blame or allegations of wrongdoing at his feet.”
The defense of Kevin Jr. comes after a report claimed he had charged $100,000 to his mom’s credit card without authorization and “demanded” Schiller pay it. The validity of the report is unclear, as it was pegged to an anonymous source, but the University of Miami student denied the claims in a statement, telling the US Sun, “I vehemently deny any allegations of unauthorized use of my mother’s American Express card. This is a false narrative perpetuated to justify freezing her accounts.”
Thomas, however, said Schiller and Williams’ former manager, Young, were the only people to have access to her accounts.
“Lori’s responsibility was to pay all of Wendy’s and Kevin Jr.’s bills. Kevin has always reached out to Lori for the payment of bills, she said. “If anyone (Wendy or Kevin) needed money, they had to contact Lori so that she could initiate payment.”
Page Six has learned that Williams’ desire to buy Kevin Jr. a condo in Miami prompted what ultimately would lead to the guardianship she is now living under as ruled by a New York court.
A source tells us that Williams enlisted Schiller to work out the details of the real estate purchase because the adviser allegedly promised the “Wendy’s Got the Heat” author that she could help her avoid commission fees. A month before Kevin Jr.’s lease was up, however, he got a call from his landlord that said he never received an offer to purchase and the price had skyrocketed another $250,000.
Thomas confirms these claims in her statement and explains that Schiller — out of nowhere — informed Kevin Jr. she “could no longer speak with him without Wendy’s written authorization” because a verbal one was “no longer sufficient.” In response, Williams asked to be taken to a local Wells Fargo branch to submit the written authorization and power of attorney; however, Thomas claims the local branch manager “refused to accept” the power of attorney.
Williams and the branch manager called Schiller, who was in charge, who then would only agree to talk to Williams without anyone else present, including Thomas, who was her legal representative at the time.
“The right to counsel is a constitutional right that a financial institution does not have the freedom to curtail,” Thomas says in her statement, noting that Schiller ultimately agreed to fly to Miami to meet with Williams, but she never arrived.
“Instead, [Schiller] locked Wendy out of all of her accounts,” Thomas claims. “[Schiller] restricted all access to every single account. Wendy was even restricted from going to the bank and personally withdrawing funds.
“… Wendy, a woman who has worked hard for her wealth, was left penniless,” the statement adds.
Williams’ rep said the former radio host had no response.
“The real goal here is to help Wendy regain full and sole control of the assets that she has worked hard for the last 30 years of her life,” Shawn Zanotti told Page Six. “We would appreciate if you give her time to heal.”
Schiller didn’t respond to Page Six’s request for comment, but a spokesperson for Wells Fargo has denied “any allegations of improper actions with respect to Ms. Williams’ accounts.”
Williams has been under the court-ordered guardianship — with which she was “not in agreement” because she “feels that she is capable” of managing her money — since the spring.

Diana’s car auctioned as 25th anniversary of her death nears
LONDON (AP) — A car driven by Princess Diana in the 1980s sold for 650,000 pounds ($764,000) at auction Saturday, just days before the 25th anniversary of her death.
Silverstone Auctions said there was “fierce bidding” for the black Ford Eascort RS Turob before the sale closed. The U.K. buyer, whose name was not disclosed, paid a 12.5% buyer’s premium on top of the selling price, according to the classic car auction house.
Britain and Diana’s admirers worldwide are preparing to mark a quarter century since her death. She died in a high-speed car crash in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997.
Diana drove the Escort from 1985 to 1988. She was photographed with it outside boutique shops in Chelsea and restaurants in Kensington. She preferred to drive her own car, with a member of her security team in the passenger seat.
The RS Turbo Series 1 was typically manufactured in white, but she got it in black to be more discreet. Ford also added features for her security, such as a second rear-view mirror for the protection officer.
The car has just under 25,000 miles on it.
Last year, another Ford Escort that Diana used sold at auction for 52,000 pounds ($61,100).

Adam Brand on love: ‘I had my heart broken easily’
By Jane Rocca
Adam Brand is a musician best known for winning 12 Golden Guitar Awards. The 52-year-old opens up about why his mum is a “fearless warrior”, what his partner has taught him about love, and his two daughters.
My maternal grandmother, Nanna Katerina, is 102 and lives in Toowoomba with my Aunty Jules. She is of Polish-Russian descent and escaped from Russia and moved to Germany in the early 1920s, then escaped from Germany and went to Poland, arriving in Australia in the 1950s. She’s a health nut who chews on three cloves of raw garlic a day and has a lot of molasses.
My paternal Sicilian-Italian grandmother, Maria, gave me my love of cooking. For her, everything happened around the kitchen, and if there were any family arguments between my dad, Michele, and his brothers, it was all solved over food.
Even when my parents split and Mum and I left Perth for Victoria when I was six, I never lost touch with Nanna Maria. She made sure I always visited for two weeks during the school holidays. She was the rock of the family, and even though my parents didn’t really like the idea of organising my trips, she made sure they happened.
My mum, Tamara, was very young when she met my dad and was pregnant with me when she was 16 and he was 21. Mum and I travelled regularly across the Nullarbor and around Australia. I would do plenty of trips to the east coast with her. We did everything together.
Mum is still a fearless warrior and fiercely independent. She worked as a florist by day and was a private investigator at night when we moved to regional Victoria. She’d follow people around in a Triumph Spitfire while I was asleep in the back. To this day, she goes out in the caravan and loves being on the road. We recently did an eight-month trip in the West Australian outback; she’s just turned 70.
Mum remarried when we settled in Colac, Victoria and had three girls, Christy, Natalie and Hayley. They’re all amazing women. I was eight when Christy came along. Mum split with their father and I became their dad, so to speak. I felt like it was my job to look out for them. We have remained close.
I first noticed girls in high school. I went on a couple of dates to tenpin bowling and would roller skate awkwardly holding hands with a girl. I had my heart broken easily at school; even when relationships ended after three weeks, I felt really sad about it.
I was busking in Tamworth in northern NSW in 1997, released my self-titled debut album in 1998 and a year later I had won three Golden Guitar Awards. It was a combination of luck, timing and putting yourself out there. Mum had faith I’d do all right. I told her if I didn’t make it in two years, I’d be back looking for a different job.
Along the way, there were some major relationships in my life. I was married before meeting my partner, Nui. While I loved my partners, I don’t think I understood the capacity of love and how our actions are taken by someone else, and vice versa. Now, I know what to say and what doesn’t need to be said in a relationship. The things we stress about don’t matter in the end. I have learnt not to overthink things.
Nui is wonderful, a kind and understanding human being. We have been together for six years. She teaches me to be more patient. When you find someone as special as Nui, you build on that and the relationship gets better.
I had resigned myself to the fact I wouldn’t have kids. Nui is the first woman I felt I could start a family with. We have two daughters, Pepper, 3, and a newborn, Connie.
Having Pepper has given me a real purpose. I have spent my whole life on the road chasing a music career – the life of a musician is a selfish one! When Pepper arrived, my life instantly made sense. Being a dad to two young girls is the greatest gift.
Adam Brand’s new album, All or Nothing (ABC Music), is out now.

Deji snaps losing streak as he stops Fousey to the delight of packed O2 Arena
Deji stopped Fousey in the third round.
Deji stopped Fousey in the third round of their contest to snap his three-fight losing streak. KSI's brother came into the fight having lost all three of his previous boxing bouts against Jake Paul, Vinnie Hacker, and Alex Wassabi.
But on the night, the YouTube star was a completely different beast as he slipped and ripped his way to victory. In the opening round, Deji started off proceedings with a punishing straight left from the southpaw stance that set the precedent for the rest of the fight.
Jabbing and moving, the internet sensation showed a poise and control few have mastered in the YouTube boxing scene. His judgement of range and distance impressed as he displayed the qualities of a solid novice boxer.

After round one it was clear there was a gulf in talent, Fousey struggled to lay a glove on the Brit and was sent stumbling backwards on more than occasion from a thudding jab. Deji's lead hand continued to cause problems for the American in the following round as swelling began to show around his left eye.
Then, at the end of the second, Fousey was sent to the canvas by a sharp jab straight down the pipe. Despite a spirited effort in the third, Fousey was eventually stopped when the towel was thrown in following another ram-rodding punch.

Lewis: A question of fairness
I grew up and spent my early career living in Colorado. Ultimately, I needed to move for work, first to Texas, then Massachusetts, and then California.
When I moved to California in 2007, I discovered that they had implemented a wild regulation called Proposition 13 for real estate taxes. Essentially Prop 13 cut property taxes to 1976 levels (for existing homeowners) and restricted tax increases to no more than 2% annually. It was touted as a way to allow people on fixed incomes to stay in their houses.
At its core, Prop 13 is not “fair.” It portends to help the little old lady stay in her home but also provides the same benefit to the other 90% that don’t need it. Home buyers from out-of-state or first-time home buyers are subjected to much higher property taxes, making it harder to purchase a home. There is no contemplation of income or “needs-based” assessment. A new homeowner can wind up paying five times or more in taxes than their neighbor even when their income is less than those paying the lower tax rate.
Prop 13 did not regulate spending, so local governments simply raised other taxes like sales taxes to get their revenue. All Prop 13 accomplished was to put in place a completely unfair tax scheme that benefitted long-term homeowners regardless of their ability to pay. It did not lower taxes one dime overall and most of the benefits still go to people who don’t need or deserve them.
As I read about the plan launched by the Biden administration this week to forgive more than $300 billion in student loan debt, my thoughts returned to the Prop 13 debacle. While this plan will undoubtedly make the current 43 million borrowers happy, I have three questions: Is it fair, is it really necessary, and will it fix the problem? Unfortunately, I think the answer to all of these questions is no.
The fairness question is pretty basic. If you take out a loan, should it be your responsibility to pay it back? Is it fair to penalize individuals that either saved for college (forgoing other spending) and those that worked before/during college? What about those who chose not to go to college and went directly into the workforce? Should their taxes pay for the college education of others?
I could go on and on. What about those who chose expensive colleges over in-state schools or those who obtain degrees in areas where there are minimal career opportunities?
On the topic of being necessary, I also have concerns. What about the rather high ($125,000) income cap? Decades ago when I graduated from college, I got a good-paying engineering job. I remember my student loan amount was basically the same as my first year’s salary. The question is — is someone out of college making $125,000 per year really facing economic hardship paying off a $10K student loan? Note that only 10 percent of all employed people make over $125,000/year so this is barely a restriction.
While I see the stories about people with massive debt and low-paying jobs, they fail to mention that President Obama put in place a program that limits repayment to 10% of discretionary income and provides a 20-year term after which the loan is forgiven. That seems pretty good to me. If it’s not good enough, why not tweak that plan?
On the third question, even the most liberal pundits agree that loan forgiveness will not fix the problem. In fact, many say it is likely to make it worse. We should be also concerned about how this policy influences future decisions. Will people take out more loans with the assumption that they will be forgiven? Will colleges continue to raise prices given this windfall of funding?
I think we need a much more programmatic approach. First, I would suggest that we focus support on educational programs where we have the most critical job needs. Paying for more people to get art history degrees doesn’t make sense if there are no jobs available. Second, people should know the rules up front so they can plan. Third, we should focus any benefits on schools that offer the best educational value.
While I admire the attempt to take on what is clearly an issue, I think they could have developed a plan that was more focused and fairer to all concerned, including those that will pay for it. I also believe that offering up a point-in-time “fix” without a more programmatic going-forward plan is akin to paying to put out a fire but not taking any steps to prevent future fires from happening. | https://www.vaildaily.com/opinion/lewis-a-question-of-fairness/ | 2022-08-27T21:31:22Z | https://www.vaildaily.com/opinion/lewis-a-question-of-fairness/ | false | 1 |

MANILA – Talking about closure and forgiveness, the newest song of folk pop band Ben&Ben has been an instant hit yet again for many listeners.
The band released “The Ones We Once Loved” on Friday and has already raked more than 300,000 views on YouTube and is no. 6 on trending for music, as of writing.
Ben&Ben’s latest single drew a similar comparison to the personal story of its composer, Paolo Benjamin, one of the lead vocalists – offering a unique perspective on love, forgiveness, and breakups.
“It's a song that owns up to one's faults, makes proper apologies, but also expresses hurt, as breakups are often two-way things,” the band said in a statement.
“It’s also one of the hardest songs we’ve written, because it requires the writer to forgive himself for his past and own up to his faults and mistakes.”
In a teaser post Thursday, Benjamin admitted that the song took inspiration from his previous long-term relationship.
He said that he has mixed emotions on the release of "The Ones We Once Loved" as it will be the most personal he has ever penned.
"I myself, am both excited and terrified to share it with you, as it is one of the most personal, and vulnerable songs I've ever written," he said in his Instagram post.
Benjamin said both of them went through the process of healing and growth as they parted ways.
The singer looks forward to helping other people who are also in the same situation as they move forward and have the closure they are searching for.
"My prayer is that if you are going through your own process right now, or there are unspoken feelings or thoughts you may still have, may this song help you through them," he said.
"May you have the closure you search for, and the happiness you deserve."
“The Ones We Once Loved” serves as Ben&Ben’s official single in support of their Philippine send-off concert and North America/Canada tour this year.
The song is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
Composed of Miguel, Paolo, Pat, Agnes, Poch, Keifer, Andrew, Jam, and Toni, the group is known for its hits like "Leaves," "Maybe the Night," "Pagtingin," "Kathang Isip," "Lifetime," and latest single "Upuan."

While no humans will be aboard NASA's Artemis I mission, the Orion spacecraft won't be empty. Snoopy, Girl Scout badges, LEGO minifigures and tree seeds are just some of the thousands of mementos that will be aboard when the mission launches Monday.
There will also be a lot of technology that will gather data during the 42-day, 1.3 million-mile mission that will take the uncrewed spacecraft as far as 280,000 miles away from Earth, circling the moon before heading home.
It's been nearly 50 years since people have set foot on the moon, so the test flight will also be a trial of the new rocket and spacecraft before a crewed flight.
"We're mindful that this is a purposeful stress test of the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System Rocket," Mike Sarafin, the mission manager for Artemis I, said at a press conference Saturday.
"We will learn a great deal from the Artemis I test flight. And through this experience, we will change and modify anything necessary to prepare ourselves for a crewed flight on the very next mission."
NASA is planning to send humans to the moon in 2025. As part of the preparation, the passengers aboard this mission will be manikins.
Meet Commander Moonikin Campos
This manikin got its name from a public contest and was ultimately named after Arturo Campos, the NASA engineer who was instrumental in getting the Apollo 13 crew back to Earth safely.
Moonikin Campos will sit in the commander's seat. Under the seat are sensors to measure acceleration and vibration to help assess what human crew members might experience during a flight. Campos will be all decked out in the official Orion Crew Survival System spacesuit that will include two radiation sensors.
And while Moonikin Campos could certainly have all the fun, it won't be alone. Two other manikins will be seated with it.
Helga and Zohar are what NASA calls phantoms — or manikin torsos made up of materials that mimic human bones, soft tissues and adult female organs. A big part of their mission involves radiation detection and measurement.
"Zohar will wear a radiation protection vest, called AstroRad, while Helga will not," NASA said in a description of the manikins' duties. "The study will provide valuable data on radiation levels astronauts may encounter on lunar missions and evaluate the effectiveness of the protective vest that could allow crew to exit the storm shelter and continue working on critical mission activities in spite of a solar storm."
Don't forget about Snoopy
While there are many miscellaneous items joining the exciting Artemis I mission, none might be as recognizable as Snoopy the black and white dog created by American cartoonist Charles M. Schulz.
Snoopy is not new to NASA and has been tied to moon missions since 1969 when the lunar module of the Apollo 10 mission was nicknamed Snoopy because of its role in scouting out or "snooping around" a landing site for the Apollo 11 mission.
Schulz also created cartoons of Snoopy on the moon that captured "public excitement about America's achievements in space" during the Apollo years, according to NASA.
This time though, Snoopy has a mission of his own. Because the Artemis I mission is uncrewed, a plush Snoopy will serve as a zero gravity indicator to show the team on the ground when the spacecraft reaches weightlessness.

Breast cancer survivors offered free 'pay with a smile' nipple and areola tattoo treatment at Blackpool studio
A beauty therapist in Cleveleys is providing free areola tattoos to people who have had a mastectomy and is the only qualified person offering the treatment in the North West.
Kerry Benson helps survivors regain their self-confidence after breast cancer surgery.
She began offering the ‘pay with a smile’ service around two years ago, and said there is ‘no catch’.
Kerry, 38, said: “Everybody knows someone that’s been affected by breast cancer. When this treatment first became available I jumped straight into it, knowing that it changes lives.”
She said that the free procedure gives back ‘confidence, symmetry and normality’ after surgery and can help the survivor to close a chapter of their life as well as feeling happier about their appearance.

The beauty therapist works at her studio on Anchorsholme Lane.
She makes a living by doing semi-permanent make-up, but incurs all costs so that she can offer this special free service once a month.
Kerry uses pigment to create realistic-looking areolas and nipples after a client has had reconstructive surgery.
She added: “It's a big part of a woman, so to be left with nothing, or quite severe scarring, it's very impacting on the day to day life, personal life, looking at yourself, things like that. So it's just a nice touch to help them pass on and finish that part of their life."
Kerry, who worked as a tattooist for 15 years, also treats men and transgender breast cancer survivors.
But Kerry and her husband Dave have struggled to spread the word about the kind-hearted gesture.
She promotes her cosmetic work on Instagram and on her website, but has sometimes been flagged on Facebook as inappropriate content.
She said: “Until about 12 months ago it was really taboo and you couldn’t post on social media without getting a ban.”
Kerry is also listed on a database, called World Medical Artists, which shows all practices worldwide that offer the service.
There are 17 in England, including three in West Yorkshire but most are down south.
The pigment is matched to a client’s skin colour, and injected using a very fine needle to create delicate, fine details for a hyper-realistic appearance.
It needs to have healed for between six month to a year before medical tattoos can be done, to ensure the treatment is as safe as possible.
She said: "It's a two part session. First initial appointment can take anywhere from one to three hours depending on how much work you're doing. And then from six to eight weeks you'd come back, we have a check-up and we fine tune anywhere or go a bit darker deeper, bigger changes you want and then you go away and come back to me when you need it."
The appearance of the tattoo can change slightly as it heals, often softening in colour and losing hard lines. The final effect is visible around a month after the procedure.
Kerry also offers free touch-ups when needed, as they can fade over time.
