PHOENIX, Aug. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QuoteMedia, Inc. QMCI, a leading provider of market data and financial applications, announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
QuoteMedia provides banks, brokerage firms, private equity firms, financial planners and sophisticated investors with a more economical, higher quality alternative source of stock market data and related research information. We compete with several larger legacy organizations and a modest community of other smaller companies. QuoteMedia provides comprehensive market data services, including streaming data feeds, on-demand request-based data (XML/JSON), web content solutions (financial content for website integration) and applications such as Quotestream Professional desktop and mobile.
Highlights for Q2 2022 include the following:
- Quarterly revenue increased to $4,298,957 in Q2 2022 from $3,833,018 in 2021, an increase of $465,939 (12%).
- Net loss for Q2 2022 was $163,080 compared to a loss of $79,625 in Q2 2021, an increase of $83,455.
- Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2022 was $508,376 compared to $311,780 in Q2 2021, an improvement of $196,596.
"This was another great quarter for QuoteMedia," said Robert J. Thompson, Chairman of the Board. "We have entered into several large-scale enterprise agreements with high profile banks and brokerage firms and have made significant progress on the development and implementation of these projects. We expect to recognize substantial associated revenue as these extensive deployments launch in the coming months. We have also begun several exciting partnerships with other market data and content vendors which will see them integrating our products and proprietary data sets and providing them to their clientele. We continued to experience healthy revenue growth, and we anticipate the pace of this growth to increase in the second half of this year. We made some non-recurring accounting adjustments that negatively impacted our bottom line this quarter. We expect to report profitability in the upcoming quarters and beyond. Consistent with previous forecasts, we remain on track to achieve full year revenue growth in the 20% range. We are very pleased with our results to date, and we are excited for what the future holds."

Note 1 on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as a non-GAAP pro forma financial measure, provides meaningful information to investors in terms of enhancing their understanding of our operating performance and results, as it allows investors to more easily compare our financial performance on a consistent basis compared to the prior year periods. This non-GAAP financial measure also corresponds with the way we expect investment analysts to evaluate and compare our results. Any non-GAAP pro forma financial measures should be considered only as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or in isolation from, or superior to, our other measures of financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc.
We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc., plus: 1) depreciation and amortization, 2) stock compensation expense, 3) interest expense, 4) foreign exchange loss (or minus a foreign exchange gain), and 5) income tax expense. We disclose Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a useful metric by which to compare the performance of our business from period to period. We understand that measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA are broadly used by analysts, rating agencies, investors and financial institutions in assessing our performance. Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors. The table below provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Insurance Cover Spain has launched expansive services for English speaking clients in Spain, who can now find the best insurance cover for their unique requirements without any hassle.
Torrevieja Translators, based in the region of Alicante province, have been the local go-to translation company for clients for some time now. Over the years, it has also gained experience in the world of insurance through work with immigration departments, where health insurance is of great significance for residency applications. It has also been working on translations for insurance claims.
The company has leveraged that experience with the launch of the new company, Insurance Cover Spain for the benefit of English speaking people in Spain. Launched in 2022, the company aims to offer the best insurance they need for their NLV (Non-Lucrative Visas) that is required before moving to Spain. Insurance Cover Spain is set to be the only place they will need to look at because of its comprehensive range of services.
For starters, they are registered insurance agents with the DGSFP and are RGPD data protection compliant. They have forged a partnership with Caser Seguros, which allows them to bring many exclusive offers to the table for expats in Spain. From health to car and pet insurance, the company has all the solutions people are looking for to ensure that their stay in the country is well-protected as it should be.
But at the heart of the exemplary service is its attention to detail and understanding of client's specific needs. It can do that because Insurance Cover Spain speaks the language of its English speaking clients, be it in sales or customer service, as well as claims departments. That's the reason clients don't have to worry about any language barrier in Spain and can rest assured that their requirements are safely covered by the company.
Its vast experience working with expats in the country has enabled its well-trained team to offer carefully considered cover based on their requirements. Insurance Cover Spain is also dedicated to providing personalized services to each customer, not only before and during but also after they decide to take cover from them. Interestingly, they are also the one-stop insurance service for clients' varied requirements too.
Those looking for health insurance can benefit from the wide array of options they have in front of them, which is also true for life insurance coverage. Home insurance and travel insurance are some of the other popular services offered by the company. Clients can opt for funeral insurance, car or motorbike insurance, and business and civil liability insurance.

Sydney: While India and Pakistani cricket fans are looking forward to the blockbuster clash between the arch-rivals in the Asia Cup in Dubai on August 28, thousands of miles away in Australia, the tickets for the ICC T20 World Cup clash between the two sides have already been sold out, according to the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Despite the ICC T20 World Cup Down Under still 50 days away, Australian cricketer and ICC Men's T20 World Cup Multicultural Ambassador Usman Khawaja said on Saturday the tickets for the match had sold out like hot cakes and 80 per cent had been bought by those living in Australia.
India will play Pakistan in the Super 12 game of the T20 World Cup on October 23 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
"While Australia are the hosts of the event, this will be a home World Cup for people of all different backgrounds no matter where they are from. We've seen tickets sell out for the India and Pakistan match with over 80 per cent of those fans living here in Australia. This shows how big the opportunity is for cricket to engage fans of different backgrounds to be part of the Australian cricket family," said Khawaja, the Australian cricketer of Pakistan origin.
"The T20 World Cup is a massive global event and the fact that 16 teams will all be playing across Australia at the same time is very special. What I''m excited to see as being a part of the T20 Champions programme is the fans of all the different teams coming to the stadiums to celebrate their heritage and passion for cricket," said Khawaja at the Sydney Harbour as the flags of all 16 competing teams were flown over the city and its world-famous landmarks, Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge on Saturday.
A total of 16 teams featuring the world's best cricketers will play in the the global showpiece event, which begins in on October 16, with the final to be played at the MCG on November 13.
In Western Australia, the T20 World Cup Trophy arrived in Perth with former all-rounder Shane Watson bringing the trophy to local fans via helicopter. A 50-day countdown clock and mural was also unveiled in Geelong, where the opening match of the T20 World Cup will be played between 2014 champions Sri Lanka and Namibia on October 16.
Over 800,000 fans are expected to attend the T20 World Cup.
ICC Men's T20 World Cup Local Organising Committee CEO Michelle Enright said:
"With only 50 days to go until the T20 World Cup, our message is that this is a World Cup for everyone. It will be an unmissable celebration of cricket and the many different cultures that makes up its extraordinary global fanbase."

EU countries revisit shale gas amid energy crisis
Shale gas production may be brought back on the table to alleviate the European energy crisis similar to coal and nuclear power, which had long been shelved due to mounting reactions from environmentalists.
Shale gas is extracted through a combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, which has been criticized for its damage to the environment by contaminating ground and surface water.
In response to concerns over climate change, European Union nations have been implementing eco-friendly energy transformation policies for many years, ignoring energy supply security.
However, the eruption of the Russia-Ukraine war has prompted European countries to reassess their energy policy alternatives, putting a higher priority on energy supply and security than ecological strategies.
Coal use revisited
European nations have implemented plans and initiatives to phase out coal resource use over the past 30 years, particularly in light of the growing sensitivity to the negative effects of climate change.
Production from coal mines and power plants, which have long contributed to the security of the energy supply and have been running profitably, has been shut down or reduced in many EU member states.
The share of thermal power plants, which made up 40% of the EU’s electricity production in 1990, fell incrementally each year down to 13% in 2020.
However, many countries have pivoted towards coal as an energy resource due to rising demand following the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, both of which exacerbated difficulties in obtaining energy sources like oil and natural gas.
Energy generation from coal reached 15% in 2021 and even grew further following the war. Before the end of 2022, the share of coal in electricity production is estimated to reach as high as 20%.
As a measure to counteract potential natural gas supply disruptions from Russia, several European nations, like Germany, France, England, and Austria, have already developed coal plans.
These nations have turned to reviving their coal-fired power facilities or extending the operational periods of the plants scheduled to shut down.
Nuclear power plants revival
The energy supply crisis also caused changes in strategies and plans to shift away from nuclear power.
After the Fukushima nuclear power plant leak in Japan in 2011, nuclear power plant safety concerns spread to European nations.
Amid these fears, the process of exiting nuclear power facilities was sparked by the competitive costs of fossil fuels, including coal, natural gas and oil, and a decline in the cost of renewable energy as well as public pressure from environmentalists in Europe.
Several countries, particularly in Europe, have changed their stance against nuclear power as a result of the global energy crisis.
France has announced plans to build 14 new nuclear reactors and invest in small modular reactor (SMR) technologies by 2050.
The UK government has approved the Sizewell C nuclear power plant to be built in the southeast of the country.
Germany has agreed to extend the operating periods of three nuclear power plants.
Belgium will extend by ten years the operation of two nuclear power plants that were destined for closure.
While the Netherlands has kickstarted investment plans for two new nuclear reactors, Poland began preliminary studies on nuclear investments.
Shale gas option
With the US becoming the world’s energy self-sufficient producer and one of the largest energy importers thanks to the shale gas revolution, it is now widely debated if European nations will change their shale gas policies and plans.
The recent sharp increase in natural gas prices, breakthroughs in shale gas extraction technology and the fact that the cost of extracting natural gas is more affordable than supplying it from other countries once again brought the shale gas option to the fore.
“EU member states are free to choose their energy sources, with shale gas being one of them,” European Commission Spokesperson Tim McPhie told Anadolu Agency.
“If a member state decides to go for shale gas, relevant EU legislation must be applied,” he said, citing a 2014 EU law on environmental protection.
According to Simon Dekeyrel, a European Policy Center (EPC) policy analyst, shale gas has resurfaced on the political agenda of some European countries like the UK, where both prime minister candidates have declared their support for domestic fracking.
However, Dekeyrel noted the same structural constraints that impeded a European shale boom at the beginning of the 2010s still exist today.
Energy expert Dekeyrel believes these reservations will likely lead national governments to other exceptional measures to tackle the current crisis by significantly accelerating the rollout of renewables and increasing energy efficiency.
Dekeyrel cites several factors that impede a shale revolution in Europe, while the US is benefitting widely from shale production at a time when many countries worldwide are looking for more efficient energy sources to reduce energy costs.
For Dekeyrel, “less favorable geology compared to the US, higher population density, less favorable regulatory frameworks, higher environmental concerns/public opposition, better mobilization of environmental groups” are among these factors.
However, environmental concerns regarding shale remain, and as the energy crisis in Europe intensifies, there is a high probability that short-term security of supply concerns will trump these environmental concerns, Dekeyrel said.
“In fact, this is already the case, as the EU’s surging imports of American LNG in recent months demonstrate,” he said.
Environmental reservations around shale gas production
Studies on shale gas have intensified in Europe over the past 10 years.
According to EU reports based on data by US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the quantity of extractable shale gas in Europe is estimated to be around 13.3 trillion cubic meters.
Poland has the largest reserves at 4.2 trillion cubic meters, followed by France with 3.9 trillion cubic meters, Romania with 1.4 trillion cubic meters, Denmark with 900 billion cubic meters, England with 700 billion cubic meters, the Netherlands with 700 billion cubic meters, Germany with 500 billion cubic meters, and Bulgaria with 900 billion cubic meters.
European countries that avoid shale gas due to environmental consequences are buying resources extracted by the US using the same method. | https://nation.com.pk/2022/08/28/eu-countries-revisit-shale-gas-amid-energy-crisis/ | 2022-08-28T07:06:28Z | https://nation.com.pk/2022/08/28/eu-countries-revisit-shale-gas-amid-energy-crisis/ | true | 1 |

Students drank at party, drove 90 mph before deadly crash: report
VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WANE) — A house party. High speeds. Standing water.
A crash report from the Vigo County Sheriff’s Department detailed a series of events that led to a crash that killed three Indiana State University students, including a Fort Wayne native, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The report from Deputy Bernie McGee said authorities were called just after 1:30 a.m. to the area of S.R. 46 and Main Street in Riley, 8 miles southeast of the ISU campus, on a report of a “vehicle fire with entrapment,” amid “heavy rain with thunderstorms and 3-4 inches of standing water.”
At the scene, police found a grey Toyota Camry ablaze, crashed into a tree, with three people still inside and two others laying in the grass nearby. The driver – Christian Eubanks – as well as two passengers – Caleb Vanhooser and Jayden Musili – were pronounced dead at the scene.
The other passengers – John Moore and Omarian Dixon – were hospitalized but have since been released from intensive care units, though they remain in serious condition.

Moore spoke with investigators at the scene and at the hospital. According to the report, Moore said they were all coming back to campus from a house party in Bloomington, some 50 miles away. He said they’d all been drinking.
Moore said they were traveling at speeds of 90 mph at the time of the crash, the report said.
At the scene, police noted there was some 4 inches of standing water and tire marks were invisible. Police were not able to find any “roadway evidence,” the report said.
A witness to the crash told investigators he was headed east on S.R. 46 in “downpouring rain” and lightning when he heard a “loud noise and then saw a ‘very bright flash that seemed fake,'” the report said. He came around a corner and saw a vehicle had crashed into a tree and was on fire, the report said.
The witness – Lucas Bishop – told police he pulled one victim from the car, and asked another driver to help him with another occupant. Bishop said a second victim was “hanging out of the car” and they were able to pull him away.
Bishop said he thought everyone was out of the car but then he heard “lots of screaming,” and realized “there were more people in the car,” the report said.
Musili was a 2021 graduate of Concordia Lutheran High School in Fort Wayne. Eubanks, an 18-year-old from Waukegan, Ill., and VanHoose, 19, of Liberty Township, Ohio, both played for the Indiana State football team.

Qatar repeatedly expressed its staunch refusal to normalise with Israel.
The UAE and Israel reportedly established a secret unit in an attempt to “sabotage” the GCC reconciliation, citing its threats to their interests, Emirates Leaks reported on Wednesday.
Sources told Emirates Leaks, a platform known for exposing UAE scandals, that the unit is a joint effort between UAE National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed and senior Israeli security officials.
The two reportedly agreed to launch media campaigns inciting hate against Qatar while provoking Saudi Arabia, given their view that the Qatar-Saudi rapprochement “harms their interests and delays the pace of public normalisation with Riyadh”.
“The same sources indicated that it was noticed in the recent period that Israeli and Emirati accounts published composite videos of previous events and statements aimed at re-igniting the controversy over Saudi-Qatar relations,” reported Emirates Leaks.
Signed in January last year, the historic Al-Ula Declaration ended the 2017 diplomatic crisis that saw Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt sever ties with Qatar.
The dispute was the worst the Gulf crisis since 2014 and saw the blockading quartet impose an illegal air, land and sea blockade on the Qatar.
However, since ending the crisis in 2021, rapprochement between Qatar and Saudi Arabia has appeared to move at a faster pace. On the other hand, ties between Doha and Abu Dhabi took a longer time to warm.
To date, Qatar and the UAE have not reinstated ambassadors.
Notably, a new book by former White House Advisor Jared Kushner revealed how Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) approached him to help reconcile him with Qatar’s Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani during the 2017 GCC crisis.
“I called the Saudi crown prince from a conference room at the amir’s palace in Doha and he assured me that he was sincere in his quest for reconciliation and that he was ready to make concessions,” said Kushner in his book, as quoted in tweets by Al Araby journalist Zaid Benjamin.
“MbS liked the emir of Qatar personally and wanted to end the dispute”, Kushner stated in his book.
Despite the end of the crisis, Qatar has continued to face sporadic online campaigns that led have attempted to spread false information about the Gulf state.
QLeaks, a dubious platform that has been at the forefront of a major disinformation campaign against Qatar, was recently exposed by Eekad in an investigation.
Battle of information
Speaking to Doha News, Dr. Andreas Krieg, assistant professor at the School of Security Studies at King’s College London, said the report points to differing ideologies that have prevailed despite Al-Ula, some of which are “irreconcilable”.
“Formally, on the surface, you shake hands, you have agreements, you restore diplomatic relations. Below the surface, there are certain ideological elements between Qatar and the UAE that have not been reconciled,” said Dr. Krieg.
The elements, Dr. Krieg noted, are related to how the two countries view the Middle East, with the UAE attempting to “achieve a region of authoritarian stability”.
“The Qataris on the other hand want to achieve a region where there is a degree of freedom of speech, where there is a degree of popular participation,” he added.
Ironically, while Qatar moved closer towards democracy in October by hosting its first ever Shura Council elections, Doha News identified a range of online campaigns targeting the country.
Among the findings of the investigation was an attempt to spread disinformation by promoting alleged public dissatisfaction towards Qatar’s government.
In the lead up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, UAE-based campaigns were also seen spreading false information regarding the much-anticipated event.
“While Saudi obviously was also dragged into that escalation with Qatar, it was in the end of the day designed by the Emiratis and the Emiratis were the ones who were always pushing to ostracise Qatar from the beginning, from since before 2014,” said Dr. Krieg.
The UAE and Israel, which normalised ties in 2020 under the Abraham Accords, also see Qatar’s stance regarding the occupation of Palestine and its vocal opposition to normalisation as a major threat.
“Al Jazeera is very strong on supporting the Palestinian cause and Al Jazeera has been classified in the minds of Israelis as a threat to their national security. So Qatar is a threat to their national security in the information environment,” said Dr. Krieg.
Qatar, together with Kuwait, has continued to issue strong statements against ongoing crimes committed by the Israeli regime, calling out its illegal occupation of Palestine on various occasions on the global stage.
While one hand Emirati media continues to promote the UAE’s newly-publicised friendly ties with Israel Qatari officials, including the amir himself, have made global headlines for slamming the Zionist state’s recurrent violence and aggression against Palestinians.
The stark difference in stances regarding the Palestinian cause was seen during the latest Israeli offensive on Gaza, which ended following a Qatar-brokered ceasefire earlier this month.
Collectively, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have expressed their commitment to the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative. Adopted by the GCC, the initiative stipulates that member states shall refrain from normalising with Israel until it fully withdraws from lands occupied in 1967.
Last month, US President Joe Biden’s visit to Jeddah onboard a direct flight from Tel Aviv was seen as a failed attempt to get Saudi Arabia to join the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan in signing the Abraham Accord.
Other ideological differences between Qatar and the UAE have to do with their stances on Syria, with the latter normalising with the Assad Regime as Doha continues to reject such a step.
The regional divide between the GCC nations was highlighted during the 2011 Arab Spring, most notably through coverage of each country’s media outlets at the time.
“The greatest fear was during the Arab spring that you had democratic forces who would have to act in the interest of public opinion in the Arab world and suppressing public opinion also means suppressing the Palestinian cause,” said Dr. Krieg.
The political analyst noted that in the presence of democratic forces, “they would have had to take a stronger stance in Palestine and also a stronger stance against Israel.”
A double game
While the Emirates Leak report presents a different view behind the scenes of the Qatar-UAE rapprochement, the same appears to apply to the Emirates ties with Tehran.
“There might be a formal engagement with Iran, but the UAE will continue sponsoring think tanks and information networks that are anti Iran and the same is true for Qatar,” said Dr. Krieg.
Last week, the UAE announced the return of its envoy to Tehran for the first time in six years. The announcement came amid positive statements over a restored nuclear deal with Iran, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
“I think the Emiratis are being very pragmatic also knowing that the JCPOA is likely going to come in one shape or form, if not now, then at some other point. They’re trying to create a plan B and there are still divisions within the UAE,” said Dr. Krieg.
Among a list of key demands issued by the quartet at the time was the severance of ties between Qatar and Iran. Doha had rejected such demands and declared its independence and sovereignty as red lines.
While the recent return of the UAE’s envoy to Tehran raised questions over Abu Dhabi’s ties with Israel, analysts slammed the move as hypocritical given its previous demands.
Dr. Kristian Ulrichsen, Fellow for the Middle East at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, told Doha News:“Going forward, the Israeli reaction to the UAE sending its ambassador back to Iran and deepening ties with Tehran will be a key issue to watch, especially given the close security and defence ties that the UAE and Israel have established.” | https://dohanews.co/probe-exposes-uae-israel-unit-to-sabotage-gcc-reconciliation/ | 2022-08-28T07:48:15Z | https://dohanews.co/probe-exposes-uae-israel-unit-to-sabotage-gcc-reconciliation/ | false | 1 |
CORINTH, Texas — Greenville senior Micah Simpson earned the respect of the Lake Dallas special teams unit in a hurry on Friday night.
After Simpson returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown the Falcons kicked away from Simpson for the rest of their kickoffs.
Unfortunately for the Lions, they couldn’t muster enough offense to go with Simpson’s big play and lost the 2022 football opener 34-7 to Lake Dallas.
Lake Dallas outgained the Lions 434-85 in total offense, including a 256-84 advantage on the ground.
The Falcons also stacked up 24 first downs as the Lions managed only six first downs and had to punt six times.
The Lions also lost three turnovers, including two fumbles and an interception. Lake Dallas converted the Lion turnovers into seven points.
Anthony Johnson, in his first varsity start at quarterback for the Lions, was 4-of-10 passing for 37 yards. Johnson was tackled for losses six times.
Kamron Neal led the Lion rushers with 21 yards on eight carries and Simpson finished with 19 on eight carries.
Simpson led the Lion receivers with two catches for 31 yards, while Amauryen Nelson caught one for five yards and JaQualyn Davis caught one for one yard.
Lake Dallas quarterback Cade Bortnem was 15-of-22 passing for 178 yards, including touchdowns of 19, 15 and 6 yards to receivers Keondre Henry, Niki Gray and Evan Weinberg.
Dylan Brauchle of Lake Dallas led all rushers with 107 yards and a 6-yard touchdown on 18 carries. Sam McAfee rushed for 59 yards on 11 carries and Travis Brewer ran for 38 yards on 10 carries.
Khaleel Parker recovered a Lake Dallas fumble to spark the Lion defense.
The Lions are to make their home debut on Friday at T.A. “Cotton” Ford Stadium against Frisco Liberty, which lost its season opener 38-28 to Corsicana.
Frisco Liberty went 10-2 last season, winning a bi-district championship. But the Redhawks lost all 11 starters on offense to graduation and nine on defense. They’ve been picked to finish sixth in District 6-5A-I. | https://www.heraldbanner.com/sports/simpson-returns-kickoff-95-yards-for-td-but-greenville-lions-drop-football-opener/article_4c1f3562-2683-11ed-9966-fb4e8e19ebec.html | 2022-08-28T07:52:45Z | https://www.heraldbanner.com/sports/simpson-returns-kickoff-95-yards-for-td-but-greenville-lions-drop-football-opener/article_4c1f3562-2683-11ed-9966-fb4e8e19ebec.html | true | 1 |

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Hye-Jin Choi shot a 5-under 66 to join fellow South Korean rookie Narin An atop the leaderboard Saturday in the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open.
Choi matched second-round leader An at 16-under 197 at Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club. In July in Michigan, An and Choi teamed to finish sixth in the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational.
“Obviously, we’re both focusing on our individual play when we played together today, but I hope we both play well tomorrow and put up a good score,” Choi said.
An had a 68.
“In general, I didn’t like my play today as much as I did yesterday and two days ago,” An said. “But I think not making any big mistakes is a positive to take away.”
First-round leader Paula Reto of South Africa was a stroke back after a 67.
Third-ranked Nelly Korda (68) and Sarah Schmelzel (66) were 14 under. Korda is coming off her first victory of the year in the Aramco Series on the Ladies European Tour, where she rallied from seven shots back against sister Jessica.
“We always say this is like our sixth major,” Korda said. “The crowds are amazing. I feel like so many proud Canadians come out and support us. It’s a big event. It would be nice to be on that champion’s list.”
Maddie Szeryk was the top Canadian, shooting a 69 to get to 9 under.
Canadian star Brooke Henderson, the 2018 winner at Wascana in Regina, Saskatchewan, was tied for 60th at 3 under after a 73. | https://www.myhighplains.com/sports/ap-south-korean-rookies-an-choi-lead-cp-womens-open/ | 2022-08-28T07:56:13Z | https://www.myhighplains.com/sports/ap-south-korean-rookies-an-choi-lead-cp-womens-open/ | true | 22 |
The Bentley Batur simultaneously marks the end of one era and the start of another.
Revealed at Monterey Car Week in California, it is the last car to be powered by Bentley’s six-litre, W16 engine, yet also gives a first look at the design language of Bentley’s upcoming electric vehicles.
Limited to just 18 examples – priced from £1.65m before options and taxes – the Batur will likely find itself sitting alongside the similarly-rare Bacalar in the garages of Benetkey’s biggest fans.
For its final outing in a production car after 20 years of service, Bentley’s W16 engine is tuned to its most powerful-yet configuration, giving the Batur at least 730 bhp and 730 lb ft of torque. We say “at least” because the company says it hasn’t finished development of the Batur just yet, and those figures could rise.
Built by Bentley’s Mulliner division, the Batur is based on the chassis of the current-generation Continental GT, complete with three-chamber air suspension, 48V electric active anti-roll control, and an electric limited-slip differential that shuffles torque between the rear wheels to optimise grip. The car features a unique set of 22-inch wheels and is strictly a two-seater, with the small rear seats of the Continental GT no longer present.
The name, is case you're wondering, is shared with Lake Batur, a crater lake in Kintamani on the island of Bali, Indonesia.
As well as being a swan song to Bentley’s W12 engine, the Batur is also the first glimpse we’ve seen of Bentley’s future design language. Penned by design director Andreas Mindt, the car’s refreshed design will form parts of Bentley’s first all-electric car, due out in 2026.
Sleeker, shallower headlights and a pronounced splitter carved into the front bumper are stand-out differences between the Batur and its Continental GT cousin. The rear lights are also all-new, and much slimmer than before, while the character line running across the doors is deeper and sharper.
Inside, the interior will be familiar to anyone who has sat in a recent Bentley, but with the swapping out of some key materials.
Bentley says: “High-performance composites made from flax offer a sustainable alternative to carbon fibre – strong and light yet with a much lower environmental footprint. Sustainably produced leathers are also available as an option exclusive to the Batur, using techniques that involve much less water and aldehyde than traditional tanning, as are carpets crafted from recycled yarn. Leather-like textiles made from by-products of the coffee roasting process are also used in the car.”
Finishing touches on Bentley’s Batur show car include bespoke titanium exhaust tips and optional 18-carat gold interior detailing.
As is so often the case with limited-run cars like this, Bentley says the Batur is already sold out, and the first examples will arrive with customers in mid-2023.. You’ll just have to wait for the company’s first EV instead, due in about three years’ time. | https://www.t3.com/news/bentley-batur | 2022-08-28T07:56:39Z | https://www.t3.com/news/bentley-batur | false | 1 |
Asia Cup: Pakistan To Wear Black Arm Bands vs India To Show Support For Flood Affected In Country
The Pakistan cricket team would be sporting black arm bands in their opening match of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 against India to show solidarity and support for the flood affectees in the country.
- NDTV Sports Desk
- Updated: August 28, 2022 12:51 PM IST
The Pakistan cricket team would be sporting black arm bands in their opening match of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 against India to show solidarity and support for the flood affected in the country. "Pakistan cricket team will wear black arm bands in their first match of ACC T20 Asia Cup 2022 against India today to express their solidarity and support for the flood affectees across the country," read an official statement.
Asia Cup 2022 had gotten underway on Saturday with the Group B match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan and it was the latter that emerged triumphant by eight wickets.
The Pakistan government had declared an emergency to deal with monsoon flooding that it said had affected more than four million people. The National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) said Friday that more than 900 people had been killed this year -- including 34 in the last 24 hours -- as a result of the monsoon rains that began in June.
Like thousands of others in rural Pakistan, Brohi was seeking shelter beside the national highway, as the elevated roads are among the few dry places in the endless landscapes of water.
Promoted
The disaster agency said over 4.2 million people were "affected" by the flooding, with nearly 220,000 homes destroyed and half a million more badly damaged.

The Artemis programme is all set to send people back to the Moon as the first step towards a future trip to Mars. NASA will use the information gleaned from Artemis concerning upcoming vehicles, spacesuits, and other areas to get ready for a visit to Mars.
One of the major objectives of the Artemis programme is to land the first woman on the lunar surface.
The first flight of an uncrewed Artemis rocket is all set to take place on Monday (August 29).
Scroll to read more:
With a primary focus on a six-week test flight of the Orion Capsule and the 322-foot-long Space Launch System rocket.
The launch will take place on Monday at 8:33 am from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center.
On the launch, sensor-equipped mannequins will replace the crew and measure the degrees of vibration, radiation, and acceleration. The Orion will orbit the moon before splashing into the Pacific Ocean. (Image courtesy: NASA)

If Artemis I shows positive and successful results, it may pave the way for the first crewed SLS-Orion mission, Artemis II, an out-and-back lunar return mission, to launch as early as 2024, followed by Artemis III a year or more later.
The crew members are yet to be announced. The Artemis II programme aims at flying its crew to orbit the moon in 2024 but will not land them on the surface as Apollo 8 did. (Image courtesy: NASAArtemis)
(Photograph:Twitter)
The third Artemis mission plans to send astronauts to the Moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in December 1972.
NASA will land its first crewed spacecraft on the southern pole of the moon. The space agency plans to carry out crewed missions once a year.
NASA and SpaceX plan to build a moon lander for the third mission of Artemis. Currently, in the developing stage, SpaceX Starship will act as a shuttle from the Orion crew capsule to the lunar surface and back.
Starting with Artemis III, NASA plans to launch a crew mission every year.
(Photograph:Twitter)
The Artemis programme plans to build Gateway, a space station that will orbit the Moon.
The living quarters and power and propulsion systems are scheduled to be launched by a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in 2024.
The Gateway will be put together by Orion personnel.
A lander that would enable them to go to the Moon and back would eventually be available to astronauts after spending 30 to 60 days in Gateway.
Additionally, the gateway would act as a pit station for any mission to Mars in the future.

To discover how to sustain human presence in deep space, NASA will use info from the Artemis programme.
The idea is to establish a "base camp" on the moon and make astronauts stay there for up to two months. As it takes a few days to travel to the moon, it will take a few months to travel to Mars. (Imagwe courtesy: NASA)

How the Red Hot Chili Peppers Got Their Name
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been making music since 1983. Currently, the band has four members: Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante, and Chad Smith. Here’s how the Red Hot Chili Peppers got their name.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ name was inspired by Louis Armstrong
In 1983, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were formed by Kiedis, Flea, guitarist Hillel Slovak, and drummer Jack Irons.
According to a biography of the band by AAEP 1600, “the name Red Hot Chili Peppers” was “taken from the nickname for Louis Armstrong’s 1920s jazz quintet.”
Armstrong’s quintet first recorded music in 1925 and was known by two different names, the Hot Five and Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five.
Who are the members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Of the four current members, both Kiedis and Flea are founding members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Kiedis serves as the band’s lead vocalist.
Flea, whose real name is Michael Balzary, is a bass player and provides backing vocals on the band’s songs. He will also occasionally play the trumpet and piano with the group.
Frusciante and Smith both joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1988. In the band, Smith plays the drums and has been in the band consistently since he first joined.
Over the years, Frusciante has had multiple stints in the band. His primary instrument is the guitar, and like Flea, he provides backing vocals on the band’s songs. Also like Flea, Frusciante plays multiple instruments and has been known to play the keyboards in the band.

Multiple musicians have left the band
With a decades-long tenure, several musicians have been part of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Originally, the band started as a trio with Flea, Slovak, and Irons.
According to AAEP 1600, Flea, Slovak, and Irons “performed in L.A. under the name Another School.” Because “Kiedis and Flea had been friends since the age of 15” and Kiedis “had frequently” performed with the group, he was later added to the band, making it a quartet.
Slovak died in 1988, and shortly after his death, Irons left the band.
One other former Red Hot Chili Peppers member has died. Jack Sherman, who played guitar in the Red Hot Chili Peppers from 1983 to 1984, died in 2020.
Cliff Martinez, DeWayne McKnight, D. H. Peligro, Arik Marshall, Jesse Tobias, Dave Navarro, and Josh Klinghoffer are all musicians that had stints in the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Martinez and Peligro each played the drums, while McKnight, Marshall, Tobias, Navarro, and Klinghoffer played guitar in the band.
Fans can see the Red Hot Chili Peppers perform next at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, which will take place on Aug. 28.

A parcel of land in Grouard recently bought in the Big Lakes County auction in June moved another step forward to allow a trucking company to set up shop.
At its regular meeting Aug. 10, council gave second reading to bylaw 13-2022 to redistrict part of Lesser Slave Lake Settlement River Lot 34 to hamlet industrial from urban reserve.
BN Dulay Trux Ltd. applied to the county to redistrict the lot east of Mission St. with plans to locate a business, says Pat Olansky, director of planning and development.
“The transportation and logistics company based in B.C. wants to expand into Alberta,” Olansky says.
She says the developer also advised the county that the site may include a mobile or constructed office building.
The parcel is 5.68 and meets requirements of the land-use bylaw that states that hamlet industrial lots be a minimum of .2 hectares (.5 aces) in size.
Council gave second reading after a public hearing where no comments of opposition or concern were submitted to the county.
“No comments were received,” Olansky says.
Big Lakes did not receive any comments about the application from adjacent landowners, Alberta Environment and Parks, ATCO, Prairie River Gas Co-op and county departments.
However, Grouard Councillor Jeff Chalifoux and High Prairie – Banana Belt Councillor Tyler Airth voted against second reading and proceeding to third and final reading.
The Grouard councillor wants to know more details about the business before the plans proceed.
“I’m not in favour until I know exactly what they’re going to do,” says Chalifoux, serving on council since October 2021.
“We need to know exactly what they want to do before we redistrict the land.
“What guarantees do we have?”
He says residents also oppose the plan.
“I got lots of concerns from Grouard residents,” Chalifoux says.
“Residents say they don’t want truck traffic in their community.
“We’re not sure if this is going to be a 24-hour operation.”
CAO Jordan Panasiuk says residents had opportunity to express their concerns at the hearing or by letters.
He says the county is following standard procedures to amend the land-use bylaw that are required for municipalities. The county can also place conditions on the operations during the development permit application.
“Conditions are at the discretion of council,” Panasiuk says.
Kinuso Councillor Roberta Hunt and South Sunset House – Gilwood Councillor Ann Stewart assured Chalifoux that council can place conditions on truck traffic.
According to the Grouard Area Structure Plan, this parcel is located within the old town area, Olansky says.
The specific area consists primarily of the lands in the core where people live, lands with access to municipal services and home to much of the employment and heritage of Grouard.
“This area will focus on bringing back local commercial services to residents, providing better trail connections and highlighting the hamlet’s rich heritage,” Olansky says in her report to council. | https://smokyriverexpress.com/what-guarantees-do-we-have-chalifoux/ | 2022-08-28T08:20:53Z | https://smokyriverexpress.com/what-guarantees-do-we-have-chalifoux/ | false | 2 |
MIAMI – Courtney Clenney made her first appearance in a Miami-Dade courtroom Saturday morning, following her extradition to South Florida.
The 26-year-old OnlyFans model was arrested earlier this month in Hawaii, four months after she fatally stabbed her boyfriend, 27-year-old Christian Obumseli, at their luxury apartment in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood.
Clenney has claimed the stabbing was in self-defense.
Following her arrest, prosecutors released video of Clenney repeatedly hitting Obumseli in an elevator two months before the stabbing.
Facing Miami-Dade Judge Jacqueline Woodward Saturday, Clenney’s defense team argued there was no probable cause for a second-degree murder charge.
Instead, they argued Clenney should face a manslaughter charge, saying the state cherry-picked text messages in their finding of probable cause and that Clenney did have some bruising.
“The detective also indicated there were no signs of bruising that were consistent with Miss Clenney,” her attorney said. “I was at the homicide unit and I have photographs of her bruising.”
Prosecutors argued this was inappropriate to discuss at a first appearance and said Clenney’s attorneys should instead file a motion.
Woodward said she did not want to interfere in the case since she was not familiar with it and there was probable cause found since she was arrested on a warrant.
“Miss Clenney, your attorneys are here and they’re fighting hard for you, but at this time, I’m not really the judge who should be making these decisions,” Woodward said. “It should be a judge who knows a little bit more about your case.”
Woodward ordered that Clenney continue to be held in custody without bond.
Clenney’s arraignment is set for Sept. 6, unless her attorneys request an earlier date.
She faces up to life in prison if convicted. | https://www.local10.com/news/local/2022/08/27/onlyfans-model-faces-judge-on-murder-charge-after-return-to-miami-dade/ | 2022-08-28T08:26:07Z | https://www.local10.com/news/local/2022/08/27/onlyfans-model-faces-judge-on-murder-charge-after-return-to-miami-dade/ | true | 1 |
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged people to make efforts to remove malnutrition while stressing that social awareness was a crucial aspect of this fight.
In his monthly Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast, Modi said the ‘Amrit Dhara’ of ‘Amrit Mahotsav’ marking 75 years of India’s independence was flowing in all corners of the country in this month. “On the special occasion of Amrit Mahotsav and Independence Day, we have seen the collective might of the country," he said.
Modi urged the people to join the campaign to fight malnutrition in the coming month."Besides festivals, September is also dedicated to a big campaign related to nutrition. We celebrate ‘Poshan maah’ or nutrition month between September 1 and 30," Modi said.
Many creative and diverse efforts are being made against malnutrition, he noted. “Better use of technology and public participation have also become an important part of ‘Poshan Abhiyan’.The Jal Jeevan mission is going to have a big impact in making India malnutrition free," he said.
Efforts associated with social awareness play an important role in dealing with the challenges of malnutrition, Modi said and urged people to make efforts to remove malnutrition.
The prime minister also urged people to watch the Swaraj serial, which highlights contributions of freedom fighters, on Doordarshan. “It is a great initiative to acquaint the younger generation of the country with the efforts of unsung heroes who took part in the freedom movement," he said.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeoVolta Inc. NEOV – NeoVolta Inc., manufacturer of Smart Energy Storage Solutions, today announced that its products are eligible for 30% in tax credits under the $369 billion Inflation Reduction Act. The climate spending bill contains significant tax breaks for households that take steps toward energy efficiency. In particular, the Act extends the solar investment tax credit (ITC) to the installation of stand-alone energy storage. Previously, the ITC was only permitted for storage that included solar panels.
Under this provision, stand-alone energy storage costs incurred from the beginning of 2022 to the end of 2032 would qualify for a 30% tax credit.
"The climate spending package represents an unprecedented opportunity for home energy storage," said Brent Willson, CEO of NeoVolta Inc. "There has never been a better time for homeowners to take advantage of the utility savings and energy resilience that come with storage. And when it comes to residential storage systems, NeoVolta delivers unmatched performance at an affordable price."
NeoVolta's advanced home solar batteries—the high-capacity, long-lasting NV14 and optional NV24 add-on—provide safe, reliable backup power during an outage, when homeowners need it most. And during normal everyday conditions, these systems offer the perfect solution for skyrocketing utility costs. In January 2022, the NeoVolta NV14 system was recognized as one of Solar Power World's Top Solar Storage Products for the third year in a row. And in April 2022, the NV14 was listed as one of the most affordable solar batteries in the U.S. in EnergySage's latest semiannual Solar Marketplace Intel Report.
About NeoVolta - NeoVolta designs, develops and manufactures utility-bill reducing residential energy storage systems capable of powering your home even when the grid goes down. With a focus on safer Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LiFe(PO4)) chemistry, the NV14 is equipped with a solar rechargeable 14.4 kWh battery system, a 7,680-Watt inverter and a web-based energy management system with 24/7 monitoring.

Pakistan flooding deaths pass 1,000 in ‘climate catastrophe’
By ZARAR KHAN
Associated Press
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Officials in Pakistan say deaths from widespread flooding have topped 1,000 since mid-June and the country’s climate minister called the deadly monsoon season “a serious climate catastrophe.” Flash flooding from the heavy rains has washed away villages and crops as soldiers and rescue workers evacuated stranded residents to the safety of relief camps and provided food to thousands of displaced Pakistanis. The country’s National Disaster Management Authority reported Sunday the death toll since the monsoon season began earlier than normal this year — in mid- June — reached 1,033 people after new fatalities were reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and southern Sindh provinces. | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/28/pakistan-flooding-deaths-pass-1000-in-climate-catastrophe/ | 2022-08-28T08:43:22Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/28/pakistan-flooding-deaths-pass-1000-in-climate-catastrophe/ | true | null |

The annual Terry McCormack Memorial Cycle returned in real life last weekend after two years of existing in the virtual world.
The 70km cycle saw cyclists brave the elements in what was at times a very damp conditions. Renowned for the good atmosphere and the sense of fun enjoyed by the cyclists the event continues to remember a man synonymous with GAA for many years. Terry played his early football with Clonguish before setting up home in Killoe. Terry's passion for football saw him continue his career into his forties winning two All Ireland titles with Longford Masters before moving into management.
All proceeds go to Fighting Blindness.

Tas police investigate man's sudden death
Tasmania Police are investigating how a 60-year-old man with head injuries ended up dead on the side of a suburban road.
The man was found near a white Holden Barina on Pardoe Road in East Devonport about 6.00am on Sunday.
Shortly after a man returned to the scene and was arrested by police.
Police believe the two men are connected and may be linked to a burglary at a nearby business on Port Sorell Road where a white Hyundai Getz was allegedly stolen.
Detective Acting Inspector Tony Stewart said police investigate all sudden deaths, with forensics teams scouring the scene to determine how the man died.
"Initial investigations suggest the man's death is not believed to have been caused by a vehicle crash," Det Insp Stewart said.
Police want to speak to anyone who saw a man in the Wesley Vale or Devonport Airport area or may have given a man a lift. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11153963/Tas-police-investigate-mans-sudden-death.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-28T08:58:28Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11153963/Tas-police-investigate-mans-sudden-death.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 3 |
“Reason not the need,” Shakespeare’s King Lear thunders when his daughters question why a retired king would need to be accompanied by 100 knights. Lear’s lament could be the subtext to all the excuses we’re hearing for why former-president Trump retained classified documents at his home in Mar-a-Lago.
What keeps getting glossed over in the news reports of this controversy are the two elements of our classification system — clearance and access. I held a top-secret clearance. But I was given access only to documents pertaining to my responsibilities. Access is governed by the “need to know.” The classified documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago in January and June total some 700 pages and include Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI). [More about that anon.] The FBI recovered 11 more sets of sensitive classified documents in their raid — after Trump’s lawyer said he had no more. What need would a former president have for all those materials?
People are also reading…
It is true that a sitting president does have the final authority to declassify documents. But there should be an official record kept of a declassification, and the initial classification authority should be consulted. Did Trump consult with the affected authorities or agencies before declassifying any of the documents he took to Mar-a-Lago?
I understand Trump claims to have issued an executive order stating that any documents he took to Mar-a-Lago would automatically be declassified. As I understand it, this order has yet to be found. And even if it exists, it would be shortsighted and wrongheaded.
A president’s authority to declassify Sensitive Compartmented Information, moreover, is questionable. Alex Wellerstein is a historian who literally wrote the book on SCI issues, “The History of Nuclear Secrecy in the United States” (2021). He argues that declassification should never be done unilaterally and in secret, especially regarding SCI materials. They fall into an entirely separate category. Their access is strictly limited to those involved in the design and employment of nuclear weapons, as well as the enrichment of fissionable material. By law, the SCI classification authority is the Atomic Energy Commission, and it works closely with the Department of Defense. Should the AEC and the DOD have a declassification disagreement, the president is authorized to make the final decision. Whether the president can arbitrarily declassify SCI material without involving the DOD and the AEC remains unclear. But common sense tells me he shouldn’t. The stakes are too high. [www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/2162]
There is also the issue of how Trump safeguarded his SCI documents. They are supposed to be stored and used only in a permanent Secure Information Facility — commonly known as a SCIF — or an approved temporary SCIF. The Director of National Intelligence has published “physical and technical security standards” for SCIFs. [They’re available online.] Were those guidelines adhered to in establishing Trump’s Mar-a-Lago SCIF? Who knows? But the insider who blew the whistle obviously felt classified documents were in danger of compromise at Mar-a-Lago.
The Espionage Act is sufficiently broad to trap Trump. It covers not just spying but also the “unauthorized gathering and possession of sensitive government information.” Still, I doubt Trump will be indicted. There are legally untested gray areas involved. But for my part, I keep stumbling over the access requirement. I am waiting for a modern-day muddled King Lear to “reason the need” for keeping SCI documents.

Dress like a royal at the races! ITV's stylist Sarah Kate Byrne reveals how to channel memorable looks from The Queen and Kate Middleton to inspire your own outfit - and what NOT to do
- ITV's stylist Sarah Kate Byrne reveals how YOU can dress like a royal
- The Royal Family has provided style inspiration to Britons for several generations
- Taking ideas from her favourite royal looks, Sarah has shared her top tips
It's the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Year, so there is no better time to channel regal vibes, dress like a royal and do justice to the history and prestige of the UK's most famous race meets.
Race meetings such as the Cazoo St. Leger Festival lend themselves perfectly to high fashion and the most elegant and formal of attire.
The Queen herself owned a winner - Dunfermline with Willie Carson on board.
In 1977, the same year as Her Majesty's Silver Jubilee, the British thoroughbred won two of the five British Classic Races - Epsom Oaks and the St. Leger Stakes.
Members of the Royal Family, particularly women, have been style icons and trendsetters for generations, sporting some memorable looks at race events that will be remembered in history books.
Some of their most glamourous looks still influence fashion choices in Britain and provide a reference point from which to put together winning contemporary looks.
King George VI and the Queen Mother visited Doncaster racecourse in 1948 wearing a bowler hat and a veiled headpiece.
These days, the bowler hat has been replaced by panama hats and trilbys for the chaps while a modern version of the Queen Mother's side percher bonnet with delicate veiling would make for a very royal appearance.
So with plenty of time to put together your look for the next season's hottest racing events, and even prizes on offer for the best-dressed ladies, it's never too early to get your look together.
DOWNSIZE THE HAT
According to one of the Queen's favourite milliners, Rachel Trevor-Morgan 'The Queen doesn't want to have hat brims that are too big as she's got to get in and out of cars and she wants people to see her'
Her Majesty's understated choice of headwear is quite deliberate and there's a lot to be said for adopting her stance.
According to one of the Queen's favourite milliners, Rachel Trevor-Morgan: 'The Queen doesn't want to have hat brims that are too big as she's got to get in and out of cars and she wants people to see her'.
So whether you arrive to this year's meeting by plane, train or automobile make sure your hat choice makes you stand out from the crowd to be seen by the all-important judges, but don't go mad with flamboyant oversized designs!
TRY A HEADBAND
Princess Beatrice sported an understated black fascinator with a white flower on day five of Royal Ascot 2022, which perfectly complemented her monochrome dress
When Queen Elizabeth II attended Doncaster racecourse in 1955 she sported a very contemporary headband that would look as good today as it did then.
Recently both the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Beatrice have both showcased an array of elegant headbands and headpieces that move away from traditional millinery.
These pieces are young, fresh and modern and their styles make them so versatile for re-wearing for weddings and other race days - so they are a solid wardrobe investment.
GO FOR A BOLD COLOUR
The Queen (pictured at British Champions Day at Ascot Racecourse on October 16, 2021) often opts for bright colours in her outfits - and Kate says that blue in particular is very regal
For me a block colour in a wonderful, bright jewel or pastel tone is such a great starting point when planning an outfit. Royals often opt for blue!
Another factor in the Queen's choice of outfit is worth noting.
As her milliner has said 'The Queen does tend to like a lot of bright colours because she's seen and she stands out.'
For me a block colour in a wonderful, bright jewel or pastel tone is such a great starting point when planning an outfit.
Royals often opt for blue, which it easier to choose the perfect accessories as solid colours tend to be more versatile.
In particular The Queen's royal blue look for British Champions Day at Ascot in 2021 and Kate Middleton's tulle teal dress at Royal Ascot in 2019 should provide some inspiration.
HAVE A WET WEATHER BACK UP
The Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge clearly adhere to the same rule as I do when settling on their look for the day – check the weather!
Both women have donned summery confections and floaty frocks as much as they have buttoned up in warmer wool weights and coats.
Back in September 1956 the Queen was spotted dressed for chillier temperatures as she walked past crowds of spectators after visiting her horse High Velt in the Parade Ring before the start of the St Leger Festival
The famous British weather can be hit-and-miss come September so do have a back-up colder weather option or elegant umbrella in reserve.
ADD A BROOCH
The main aim is to enjoy your day at the races and win or lose, stay elegant and carry on smiling
And finally, one of my favourite final flourishes (and one the Queen is known to often add to her outfits) is a thoughtful brooch.
For us mere mortals, we might not have a diamond cluster to pin to our lapel but a stunning piece of vintage costume jewellery will add a little sparkle to your look not to mention upping your sustainable fashion credentials!
You can even craft a special brooch yourself with many kits now available to buy online, ensuring you can create your own little bit of royal flair.
Why not try cherry picking different style elements and dress for the many decades of The Queen's reign? Vintage and borrowed clothing can be a wonderful way to achieve a fresh and modern look, if you pair them up to compliment each other.
Above all else, the main aim is to enjoy your day at the races and win or lose, stay elegant and carry on smiling. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11131883/ITVs-stylist-Sarah-Kate-Byrne-reveals-dress-like-royal-races.html | 2022-08-28T09:17:43Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11131883/ITVs-stylist-Sarah-Kate-Byrne-reveals-dress-like-royal-races.html | false | 3 |
Tips and race-by-race previews for Tamworth on Monday
By Neil Evans
Track likely improving to good 4 and rail out 5m from 900m to 300m into a cut/away and the remainder true.
Race 1: BENCHMARK 66 HCP (2100m)
We start over the longer trip on a surface that could well improve to good 4. Tricky affair with a couple of last start winners, and plenty that have gone around many times. Unde-rated six-year-old 4. Cliffs Of Moher can go back-to-back over similar trips. Surged home in heavy ground to beat a similar field at Scone a fortnight ago. From a soft trailing draw and rising just 1.5kg in weight, he’s well suited.
Dangers: Provincial six-year-old 5. Rockamo comes off a strong win here in a weaker class 17 days ago, but has proven to be equally effective in wet or dry ground. Has to get across from a wider draw, but gets a significant weight drop. Tough and hard fit front-runner 1. Careering Away is clear next best, having been run down by the top selection last start, and meets him a little better at the weights.
How to play it: Cliffs Of Moher win. Odds and Evens: Split.
Race 2: MAIDEN HCP (1400m)
Keen on well-bred provincial mare 10. Star Impact peaking third-up over more ground with blinkers added. Worked home nicely last start when 10 weeks between runs against slightly deeper opposition, and given a timely weight drop back on firmer ground.
Dangers: A return to drier ground is a plus for four-year-old 3. Menotti who can figure fifth-up. Was swamped here late in heavy ground last start, but draws to do little work early, and this is weak. Watch the betting on lightly raced provincial mare 4. Amalfi Queen who can improve sharply second-up; while 1. Big Time Charlie improves fourth-up and expecting 9. My Khaleesi to run home hard carrying her lightest weight in a long time.
How to play it: Star Impact win; quinella 3 and 10. Odds and Evens: Split.
Race 3: CLASS 2 HCP (1600m)
Provincial four-year-old 2. Geisel jumps sharply in distance third-up, but much better off back on firmer ground, and won his only previous start here.
Dangers: Big watch on ex-Tony Gollan-trained seven-year-old 3. Torowoto having his first run for new local stable. Drops down sharply in grade after two plain efforts in Queensland, but naturally up 4.5kg in weight. The rest are battlers, although included in exotics bets 4. Travoli who returns to drier ground with important gear changes; 5. Intercept who draws to get a nice trail; and last-start Class 1 winner 7. Candy Kiss dropping in weight for this tougher grade.
How to play it: Geisel win. Odds and Evens: Split.
Race 4: MAIDEN PLATE (1000m)
The Stephen Jones stable at Scone has a big grip on this, and naturally the betting will be a key. Like progressive mare 8. Sussu to go one better on firmer ground after charging home to miss narrowly on debut in heavy going.
Dangers: Stablemate mare 6. Pliskova was very good here second-up in heavy ground when forced to work from the wide barrier. Watch the betting on ex-Victorian 3. Lord Of The Sun who resumes for a new local stable behind a steady trial. Expect improvement at third start from home-track stallion 1. Dubliner Boy with winkers replacing blinkers. Trained on the course, 5. Miss Chapeau is another improver down in weight and finally getting back on a firmer surface; while Sooboog mare 7. Soosie Boog is a market watch resuming off a long break behind two quiet trials.
How to play it: Sussu win. Odds and Evens: Evens.
Race 5: TAMWORTH RUSH HCP (1200m)
Plenty of quality on show in the feature sprint. The firming surface and soft draw stacks up nicely for resuming and still lightly raced six-year-old 1. Primal Scream who boasts a 35 per cent winning strike rate. Won three straight last prep up to BM 88 grade before failing in the wet in a feature sprint at Muswellbrook. Been given two trials and can hit the ground running over the odds.
Dangers: A big test will come from rival local six-year-old 2. Anethole, who also returns off a similar break behind two progressive trials and prefers dry ground. Ultra-consistent five-year-old 5. Golden Point resumes without publicly trialling, but comes to hand quickly and was terrific last prep, including a fighting win from midfield when he ran down Shelby Sixtysix at Rosehill. Included in wider exotics, staying type 3. New World Tapestry who can sprint well fresh off two trials with significant gear changes; while both home-track mares 4. Aunty Monnie, deep into her prep, and 6. Lashoni, sneaking back down in weight at big odds, can both run into the minor end of the money.
How to play it: Primal Scream each way; box exacta 1,2,5. Odds and Evens: Split.
Race 6: MAIDEN HCP (1200m)
Confident provincial three-year-old 5. Burraneer Buoy can improve enough at only his second start to break through. Was big odds when working home fairly in heavy ground at Port, but the form from that race is strong with the second-placed runner bolting in a handy maiden next start and he draws better on preferred firmer ground.
Dangers: Resuming and lightly raced four-year-old 2. Divine Crescent is a big threat off two improving trials; while keep safe tough mare 13. Astern’s Girl third-up from a softer draw and down sharply in weight. Gap to the rest.
How to play it: Burraneer Buoy win. Odds and Evens: Split.
Race 7: CLASS 2 HCP (1000m)
Under-rated provincial four-year-old 1. Barney Rabble has kept improving on heavy tracks this prep and can peak here back on drier ground
Dangers: Well touted and unbeaten home track five-year-old 2. Talbragar resumes for only his third start off a smart trial win, and is likely to start a hot odds-on favourite. Has natural speed and draws inside, although wouldn’t be diving into a ridiculously short quote. Gap to the rest headed by very honest mare 4. Emissive who peaks third-up.
How to play it: Barney Rabble each way; trifecta 1,2/1,2,4/1,2,4. Odds and Evens: Split.
BEST BETS
Race 2: (10) Star Impact. Race 4: (8) Sussu.
BEST VALUE
Race 5: (1) Primal Scream.

KSI compares himself to Deontay Wilder after two KOs in one night - 'It's scary'
KSI defeated both Swarmz and Luis Alcaraz Pineda in one night at The O2 Arena.
KSI talks possible Andrew Tate fight ahead of Swarmz bout
YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI has compared himself to heavyweight stalwart Deontay Wilder after defeating both Swarmz and Luis Pineda on Saturday night. KSI fought twice in one night at The O2 Arena in London, and on both occasions won via knockout.
His first bout on the card came against rapper Swarmz, and the 29-year-old YouTuber, singer and boxer made light work of it, winning the one-sided clash in two rounds. After a break, KSI made his return to the ring to face professional boxer Pineda, and it was more of the same for the Brit.
As a result, he made it two in two in London, landing his second knockout of the night to defeat the professional fighter in the third round. Clearly pleased with his double whammy win, KSI bravely went on to compare himself to one of the best in the business in former heavyweight champion Wilder.
JUST IN: KSI calls out Tommy Fury and Andrew Tate after two wins in one night but snubs Jake Paul
The 29-year-old said: “These guys think they can mess with me, but once they feel the power, it's dangerous bro. I'm moving like Deontay Wilder in these streets, man. It's scary, no-one wants it."
KSI is set to make a return to the boxing ring in January, and the YouTuber already has a long list of opponents he would like to take on. Speaking afterwards he revealed he would be willing to fight fellow YouTuber Slim Albaher, Andrew Tate, the winner of Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib or professional boxer Tommy Fury.

— Tommy Fury (@tommytntfury) August 27, 2022
Following the call out, Fury - brother of heavyweight champion of the world Tyson - was quick to respond. He took to Twitter, telling the YouTube sensation: “You know where to find me.” KSI’s promoter Kalle Sauerland revealed last week that Fury was considered as a replacement after the star’s original opponent Alex Wassabi dropped out.
Sauerland said: “We didn't approach him but we were thinking about it before we went down the two fight route. We were thinking about putting the feelers out there but we understood he wasn't in the right physical shape to come in on shorter notice which is fair enough. But yeah why not in the future?" | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/boxing/1661384/KSI-Swarmz-Luis-Pineda-Jake-Paul-Tommy-Fury-Deontay-Wilder-boxing-news | 2022-08-28T09:30:33Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/boxing/1661384/KSI-Swarmz-Luis-Pineda-Jake-Paul-Tommy-Fury-Deontay-Wilder-boxing-news | true | 1 |
LONDON — The Prince of Wales has edited an edition of British African-Caribbean newspaper "The Voice" to mark its 40-year anniversary.
Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, said he "was so touched" to be asked to edit the edition, which will feature interviews with movie star Idris Elba and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, the campaigning mother of Stephen Lawrence, who was murdered in a racist attack in 1993.
Elba, the Black British actor who starred in "The Wire" and several Marvel movies, tells the weekly newspaper, due to be published on Sept. 1, that a grant from Charles' youth charity, The Prince's Trust, at age 16 "opened doors that changed my life."
Baroness Lawrence will describe a new partnership between the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation and The Prince's Foundation, another charity, to provide applied arts scholarships for young people from diverse backgrounds affected by social and economic inequality.
Speaking about the publication, Charles said: "Over the last four decades, with all the enormous changes that they have witnessed, Britain's only surviving black newspaper has become an institution and a crucial part of the fabric of our society.
"This is why I was so touched to be invited to edit this special edition."

This One Supplement Helped My Fear Of Flying When Nothing Else Worked
Did anyone else feel that drop? Is the guy next to me freaking out? Where are the flight attendants and do they look concerned? Who's to say this thing won't just fall out of the sky? Oh no, oh no, oh no. So goes my anxious mind every time I set foot on an airplane.
I've been a nervous flier for the past decade, but my airplane dread was fully solidified last year over the mountains of Montana, around minute 20 of hour-long turbulence. On the last few flights since, I've cried, reached out to hold a stranger's hand, and said mental goodbyes to my loved ones—sometimes all at the same time. It doesn't help that air travel also gives me a nagging sense of eco-guilt for all of those carbon emissions.
Clearly, I don't have the best tools for dealing with my flight stress. Deep breaths, distracting podcasts, and logical reasoning are what I usually call on to challenge irrational fears of crash landings, but they can only go so far.
So, before my last trip—a short flight from New York to Detroit—I packed something new in my carry-on to see if it could help: mindbodygreen's calm+ supplement.
My experience taking calm+ to ease flight jitters.
Small planes elicit a new level of terror in me, so I couldn't help but groan once I saw that the flight had a 2-2 seat layout.
"It'll be fine," my fiancé said as we slid into our seats which were, thankfully, next to each other. (Strangers' hands were safe for today.) I waited until I got strapped in before washing down one calm+ gelcap; I knew from taking the supplement for work stress and productivity that it went to work quickly thanks to a unique combination of USDA- and EU-certified organic full-spectrum hemp oil, ashwagandha extract, and lavender oil.*
calm+
Next-generation stress relief, featuring EU organic hemp oil, ashwagandha, and lavender oil*
Since I work at mbg, I have the inside scoop on the calm+ ingredients—all included for their strong (and research-backed) ability to ease the stress response and help restore balance throughout the body.* I'd found them effective at helping me deal with the stressors of everyday life, like deadlines and emails, but today was the first time I'd put them to the test against such a different source of anxiousness.*
Fast forward 20 minutes after taking the supplement and so far, so good. It was a morning flight and I figured it might just be sleepiness that kept me so settled once we began taxiing. But once we started takeoff—my least favorite part of flying, by far—I knew that there was more to it than that, and calm+ was having an effect.
While my head still filled up with nervous thoughts as we gained elevation, I found that they didn't escalate nearly as quickly as they usually did. It felt easier to breathe through them, remain level-headed, and talk myself down when I started to get worked up. In short, the nerves were still there, but they felt less intense.
I didn't flinch when the people in front of me opened their window shades to let in the views of the outside world that I'd usually rather forget about once becoming airborne. And once we started cruising, without a racing heart and mind to distract me, I was able to actually pay attention to an entire podcast episode. All in all, it was the easiest flight I'd had in a while—even with the slight turbulence we encountered before landing in Detroit.
While flights (no matter how long) always make me feel exhausted from all that sympathetic nervous system activation, I stepped off the plane ready to fully show up for the rest of my trip. And since the premium European hemp in calm+ contains such trace amounts of THC, I didn't feel mentally impaired at all; just relaxed. I know the toll that stress can take on the body, so I counted this a major win for getting my trip off on a healthy foot.
I hadn't overcome my fears of flying by any means, but at that moment I knew I'd found a tool to help make them feel more manageable.
The takeaway.
I'm grateful to mbg's calming supplement for helping me deal with my airplane jitters and get from point A to point B a little easier.* Will I be hopping on a helicopter ride anytime soon? No. But will I gladly RSVP for my friend's wedding, even though it requires a 2-hour flight? Yes—but you can bet calm+ will be coming along for the ride.

Retired veterans walk ‘The Long Road’ across America on U.S. 20
BELVIDERE, Ill. (WTVO) — Two former U.S. Marines are on a 3,365-mile cross-country walk across the United States and are headed towards Belvidere on Wednesday.
Coleman “Rocky” Kinzer, 44, and Justin LeHew, 52, set out from Boston, Massachusetts, on June 6th, on the 78th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, and headed out along U.S. 20, bound for Newport, Oregon.
Route 20 is the longest single road in the U.S. highway system, and legislation is being considered to name it the Medal of Honor Highway.
Eyewitness News caught up with them in Coral, near Marengo.
The pair, who served together in the 3rd Marine Regiment, have dubbed their journey “ The Long Road ” and say they are walking in support of the 81,000 soldiers who have been missing in action since WWII.
They have been raising funds for History Flight , a non-profit that identifies the remains of U.S. military servicemen and women and arranges for them to be flown home for a proper burial.
The duo was joined by fellow Marine Corps. veteran Ray “Shino” Shinohara once they arrived in Illinois.
The pair have been updating their Facebook page with their progress, and have been offered support and lodging by followers.
“When you get out here and meet people, you realize America is still a pretty good place,” LeHew told Stars and Stripes .
They were able to reach Chicago in time to throw out the first pitch at the White Sox game on Monday.
The men say they average 20 miles a day and hope to make it over the Rocky Mountains to make it to their destination in November, and hopefully, be home by Christmas.

On Monday, there was one traveler who got a true bird's-eye view of the Charlotte Douglas Airport.
Clark, a 19-year-old bald eagle, was recorded going through TSA with his handlers for his return flight home to Missouri. The footage and photos caught the attention of Twitter.
Clark is a flying ambassador of World Bird Sanctuary in south St. Louis. The scales on his talons never developed properly, and he would eventually get pneumonia and die if he were to hunt in the wild, the nonprofit's executive director, Dawn Griffard, told NPR over the phone.
Griffard said Clark's job is to spread a message about conservation and raise money to support the sanctuary. He does this by attending events to fly to songs like The Star Spangled Banner or You Raise Me Up.
TSA officers are used to seeing an eagle on their uniform as they look over their shoulder, but I’m sure the team at @CLTAirport Checkpoint A did a double take when they saw a real one earlier this week. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/cxfbqyVok1
— TSA Southeast (@TSA_Southeast) August 25, 2022
Griffard said that Clark, who is named for William Clark – and yes, there is another eagle named Lewis at his sanctuary – is hired to fly between four to six times a year. Over the course of 12 years, this frequent flier has taken more than 100 commercial flights.
Eagles may not have shoes or belts to remove, but they have their own version of being patted down. A TSA search of a bald eagle involves investigating its crate and under the carpet inside it.
People at airports often want to touch or see Clark, and his stewards have to deny their requests to stick their fingers through the window in his crate. But usually they're respectful, Griffard said.
Much to World Bird Sanctuary's appreciation, Southwest Airlines lets Clark travel in the main cabin. Other airlines don't allow this, and Griffard has had to put him in cargo in the past – once, she said, an airline misplaced him this way.
Despite standing 30 inches high and weighing 7.5 pounds, Clark gets two seats and three seat-belt extenders. That's because of his crate, which gets strapped in at the plane's bulkhead. A member of World Bird Sanctuary's eagle team sits beside the crate to keep an eye on him and give him snacks — typically bits of rat, Griffard explained.
In each stage of travel, World Bird Sanctuary's team, the airport staff and often even the Southwest pilots are careful to keep Clark's trip as bump-free as possible. He hates turbulence.
When the group arrives at their destination, Clark gets his own hotel room. They move the furniture and throw a large tarp over the floor. He gets a perch in the middle of the room, from which he watches TV. Griffard said he prefers cartoons and nature shows.

Sgt Michael Higginson, of the Road Policing Unit, said: “A man has lost his life following this collision and my thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this time.
“I would like to hear from anyone who saw what happened, or who was in the area at the time and may have dashcam from their vehicle, to get in touch.”
Officers urged anyone who witnessed or had dashcam footage of the collision and who had not yet spoken to police to come forward.
The force said they were particularly keen to speak to the driver of a black estate car which was seen in the area at the time of the crash.
“We believe the driver of a black estate car which was seen in the area could have important information,” Sgt Michael Higginson added.

Have you heard the news? “Quiet quitting” is all the rage among young Americans who are burned out and fed up with being overworked. Quiet quitting's underlying ambition to draw clearer boundaries between work and life is a healthy one in a society that fetishizes endless hustle. But the term deserves some skepticism. It’s a self-undermining concept, and it’s acutely vulnerable to being co-opted by managers. And unless it’s coupled with a broader understanding of why many people feel a compulsion to martyr themselves to the workplace — and how unions are a worker’s best bet for a dignified working environment — it’s a dead end.
There isn’t a consensus on the precise meaning of quiet quitting, a buzzword that took off on Tik Tok this summer. Zaiad Khan’s viral Tik Tok video in July with more than 40,000 shares describes it like this: “You’re not outright quitting your job, but you’re quitting the idea of going above and beyond.
Quiet quitting is a misnomer insofar as there’s no interpretation of the term that actually involves quitting.
“You’re still performing your duties, but you’re no longer subscribing to the hustle culture mentality that work has to be your life,” he continues. “The reality is it’s not, and your worth as a person is not defined by your labor.”
That’s a useful summary of the concept, although the interpretation of what it means to reject going above and beyond varies depending on who you talk to and what you read. It could mean anything from declining to leave the office late and answer emails at midnight to mentally checking out from work and doing the bare minimum to keep a job.
The emergence of the term tracks with a downturn in how engaged employees have felt in their jobs in the past couple of years — a disengagement that is most pronounced among younger workers. It’s probably not entirely a coincidence that this downturn has taken place amid a global pandemic that’s blurred work-life boundaries and dampened the socially enriching parts of work for people who work from home. It also makes sense that the current strength of the labor market makes workers feel a bit more confident about coasting at work without fear of being fired.
But quiet quitting is a misnomer insofar as there’s no interpretation of the term that actually involves quitting or trying to get fired from one’s job. And while the underlying concerns about overwork deserve attention, the term itself is a window into its limitations — and a reminder of how collective action in the form of labor organizing is an essential tool for achieving better work-life balance.
If one labels the idea of working reasonable hours and declining to exceed expectations as quitting, that implicitly reinscribes the very ethos it’s pushing back against. It’s an admission that it’s transgressive to do something like leave the office or sign off at the time a manager told you it was OK to when you were first hired. It frames drawing boundaries and standing up for oneself as reneging on duties.
It’s not hard to see how the term can be appropriated by the managerial class. Consider who benefits most from describing something like declining to work later than a shift requires or producing more goods or services than one was hired to do as “quitting.” We are in fact already seeing corporate backlash against the term in this vein — a career coach told The New York Times that having the audacity to decline to go beyond minimum job requirements merely because one is "entitled to it" amounts to being "passive-aggressive" in the workplace.
Some commenters on the r/antiwork subreddit for work complaints have proposed “act your wage” as a substitute for quiet quitting, and drawn attention to the notion that there’s a need to discuss quiet quitting as a response to the indignity of being quietly fired — not getting wages or promotions commensurate with labor or the rising cost of living.
Setting aside the merits of the term, the quiet quitting advocates are actually right that it can feel downright transgressive to say “no” to overwork. But it’s not just because of hustle culture. It’s because in a capitalist economy, companies achieve bigger profit margins in part by wringing as much as possible out of laborers in a manner that exceeds the companies' costs. Companies are understaffed by design, and a culture of pushing employees beyond limits or forcing them to meet unfair quotas helps cover the gap. That anxiety some of us feel about looking lazy even when we’re doing more than we’re formally supposed to is baked into the very structure of how most profit-seeking companies operate.
Quiet quitting is always going to run-up against structural economic forces.
In other words, quiet quitting is always going to run-up against structural economic forces. Quiet quitting on an individual, ad hoc basis is not really an option for many people — particularly in industries with lower and unpredictable profit margins, and especially for people from marginalized communities. And even to the extent that it is an option for some people some of the time, it’s not something that can typically be sustained as a longer-term strategy. Most people cannot afford to risk voluntarily making themselves vulnerable to being fired or laid off in a society with a weak social safety net, even when it is essential to scale back work for their physical and mental health.
The grievances that lead to quiet quitting can be more productively and sustainably channeled by forming unions. Unions can act as advocates for workers, reduce arbitrary firings, clarify labor expectations in a way that counteracts the drift toward overwork, and serve as a platform for collective action — including work slowdowns that, yes, involve doing only what the job requires and nothing more. While forming a union definitely entails risk, it ultimately triggers a higher level of legal protections and creates a foundation for coordinated action that will be far more effective than individual attempts to draw a line with a boss. And ultimately a more unionized citizenry is far more capable of lobbying for policies that raise wages and in some cases even pass laws that formalize work-life separation, such as "right to disconnect" laws.
Doing whatever you can to fight burnout as an individual is necessary and should be encouraged. But creating a workplace that isn't defined by domination of workers involves thinking as a collective, and requires as much building as quitting. | https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/quiet-quitting-s-meaning-reveals-why-it-s-dead-end-n1298378 | 2022-08-28T10:15:40Z | https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/quiet-quitting-s-meaning-reveals-why-it-s-dead-end-n1298378 | true | 1 |

Chelsea showed passion and commitment – Raheem Sterling praises Leicester win
By PA Staff published
Raheem Sterling hailed 10-man Chelsea’s “passion and commitment” after scoring both goals in their 2-1 Premier League win against Leicester.
Sterling’s first goals for Chelsea following his £50million summer switch from Manchester City came in the second half after Conor Gallagher’s 28th-minute dismissal.
Thomas Tuchel’s side bounced back from last week’s 3-0 defeat at Leeds with their second win of the season and moved up to sixth in the table.
Doubling up! 👊 pic.twitter.com/FozggTZEr2— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) August 27, 2022
Sterling told Chelsea’s official website: “It was a massive three points and one that we needed, especially off the back of last weekend.
“Even going down to 10 men, the boys showed a lot of passion and commitment to get the job done and it was a good win for us. It was a big team performance and everyone played their part.”
Sterling gave Chelsea a 47th-minute lead with a deflected effort from the edge of the area and turned home Reece James’ cross at the far post just after the hour mark.
Chelsea head coach Tuchel was serving a touchline ban following his red card in the recent 2-2 draw against Tottenham.

Gallagher was dismissed on Saturday after two yellow cards in the space of six minutes, both for challenges on Leicester’s Harvey Barnes.
Sterling, denied a hat-trick by Foxes goalkeeper Danny Ward late on, added: “It’s always difficult when you go down to 10 men, but it just showed how hard the boys worked for victory.
“The defenders were excellent in stopping Leicester and that ran right through the team, everybody worked hard for one another and you could see how much it meant to all the boys.
“It’s teams that win games and everyone pulled their weight today. Edou (Mendy) made some big saves and Kai (Havertz) led from the front, working his socks off to defend high up the pitch.”
Leicester remain winless and sit second from bottom after four matches, but created enough chances to have left Stamford Bridge with a point.
Daniel Amartey had an effort ruled out after Barnes was harshly ruled to have fouled keeper Mendy and Ayoze Perez struck the crossbar.
Leicester defender Timothy Castagne admitted it was “tough at the moment” but remains confident it will soon start to click for Brendan Rodgers’ side.
He told LCFC TV: “He (Rodgers) knows it’s tough for us because we haven’t had the start to the season that we wanted.
“It was again a bit like the first games when we were good in the games and then we give away cheap goals and we lose the result that we want. It’s tough at the moment.
“I think it’s going to come. We just can’t panic because sometimes – it didn’t happen here – but I feel in some of the other games we desperately want the win, so we start to panic, we stop playing our game and we lose the result. We need to keep working, keep playing our game.”

Much has been said about Zabit Magomedsharipov's mysterious retirement from the UFC.
Earlier this year, MMA journalist Ariel Helwani claimed that Magomedsharipov's religion was the main reason behind his untimely departure. However, the former rising featherweight star broke his silence for the first time and revealed the "main reason" behind his decision.
According to the Russian, he grew tired of receiving empty promises from the UFC, including a title shot. On top of that, Magomedsharipov revealed that he couldn't get a fight booked because his fellow featherweights avoided him:
"There were many reasons. Firstly, because of refusals to fight with me. I had no fights for two years. Then there were injuries, I was sick a lot. I didn't recover. Such, many reasons. The main reason was I was not able to fight. They didn't give me a title shot. They promised me one thing and did another. They promised me and didn't keep that promise. That was the main reason why I got mad." [Translated by Fighting Flashback on YouTube]
Watch Zabit Magomedsharipov's interview below:
Considered one of the biggest 'what-ifs' in UFC history, Magomedsharipov also hinted that there could come a time when he considers coming back to the octagon. For now, though, he maintained that he has no "such desire" to resurrect his fighting career.
Zabit Magomedsharipov pursues a career in medical field
After thriving as a rising star in a violent sport, Zabit Magomedsharipov apparently wants to spend the next phase of his life healing people.
Earlier this year, Magomedsharipov gave his fans an update regarding his career. However, his update wasn't the type his fans were hoping for. The Dagestani revealed in an Instagram post that he's pursuing a career in the medical field, confirming the end of his prize-fighting exploits.
Check out Zabit Magomedsharipov's post below:
Ariel Helwani previously reported that Magomedsharipiov grew tired of the violence as it went against the teachings of his religion. The MMA reporter said:
"From what I was told, he had almost like this moral religious dilemma that he was dealing with. He's very religious and I think he reached a point where he just didn't wanna do it anymore."
However, it now seems that Magomedsharipov is blaming the UFC for his departure. He also didn't mention his religion as a reason for his retirement. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/zabit-magomedsharipov-reveals-main-reason-retired-mma-hints-future-comeback | 2022-08-28T10:26:59Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/zabit-magomedsharipov-reveals-main-reason-retired-mma-hints-future-comeback | false | 1 |

President Biden's plan to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in student debt is sparking heated debate.
Biden last week announced plans to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for Pell Grant recipients and up to $10,000 for others who qualify.
The news will provide relief for borrowers at a time when the cost of higher education has surged.
But critics are questioning the fairness of the plan and warn about the potential impact on inflation should the students with the forgiven loans increase their spending.
Here are three key arguments – for and against the wisdom of Biden's decision.
Raising living standards or adding fuel to inflation?
Undoubtedly, student debt is a big burden for a lot of people.
Under Biden's plan, 43 million people stand to have their loan payments reduced, while 20 million would have their debt forgiven altogether.
People whose payments are cut or eliminated should have more money to spend elsewhere – maybe to buy a car, put a down payment on a house or even put money aside for their own kids' college savings plan. So the debt forgiveness has the potential to raise the living standard for tens of millions of people.
Critics, however, say that additional spending power would just pour more gasoline on the inflationary fire in an economy where businesses are already struggling to keep up with consumer demand.
Inflation remains near its highest rate in 40 years and the Federal Reserve is moving to aggressively raise interest rates in hopes of bringing prices back under control.
Not all economists believe the debt forgiveness will do much to fuel inflation.
Debt forgiveness is not like the $1200 relief checks the government sent out last year, which some experts say added to inflationary pressure. Borrowers won't suddenly have $20,000 deposited in their bank accounts. Instead, they'll be relieved of making loan payments over many years.
Because the relief is dribbled out slowly, Ali Bustamante, who's with left-leaning Roosevelt Institute says Biden's move won't move the needle on inflation very much.
"It's just really a drop in the bucket when it come to just the massive level of consumer spending in our very service- and consumer-driven economy," he says.
The White House also notes that borrowers who still have outstanding student debt will have to start making payments again next year. Those payments have been on hold throughout the pandemic.
Restarting them will take money out of borrower's pockets, offsetting some of the additional spending power that comes from loan forgiveness.
Helping lower income Americans or a sop to the rich?
Another big point of contention has to do with fairness.
Forgiving loans would would effectively transfer hundreds of billions of dollars in debt from individuals and families to the federal government, and ultimately, the taxpayers.
Some believe that transfer effectively penalizes people who scrimped and saved to pay for college, as well as the majority of Americans who don't go to college.
They might not mind subsidizing a newly minted social worker, making $25,000 a year. But they might bristle at underwriting debt relief for a business school graduate who's about to go to Wall Street and earn six figures.
The White House estimates 90% of the debt relief would go to people making under $75,000 a year. Lower-income borrowers who qualified for Pell Grants in college are eligible for twice as much debt forgiveness as other borrowers.
But individuals making as much as $125,000 and couples making up to $250,000 are eligible for some debt forgiveness. Subsidizing college for those upper-income borrowers might rub people the wrong way.
"I still think a lot of this benefit is going to go to doctors, lawyers, MBAs, other graduates that have very high earnings potential and may even have very high earnings this year already," says Marc Goldwein senior policy director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Helping those in need or making college tuition worse?
Goldwein also complains that the loan forgiveness doesn't address the larger problem of soaring college tuition costs.
In fact, he suggests, it might make that problem worse — like a Band-Aid that masks a more serious infection underneath.
For years, the cost of college education has risen much faster than inflation, which is one reason student debt has exploded.
By forgiving some of that debt, the government will provide relief to current and former students.
But Goldwein says the government might encourage future students to take on even more debt, while doing little to instill cost discipline at schools.
"People are going to assume there's a likelihood that debt is canceled again and again," Goldwein says. "And if you assume there's a likelihood it's canceled, you're going to be more likely to take out more debt up front. That's going to give colleges more pricing power to raise tuition without pressure and to offer more low-value degrees."
The old rule in economics is when the government subsidizes something, you tend to get more of it. And that includes high tuition and college debt.

PLATTSBURGH — The first Lake City Arts Festival Saturday gave experienced artists a chance to showcase and sell their art to the community, while also providing several activities for young, aspiring artists to create art of their own.
A tie-dye station, organized by the Strand Center for the Arts; a cat-themed chalk art mural in the Betty Little Arts Park and a “kids zone” consisting of a collage station, real flower pounded prints, tissue paper, stained glass and bubble prints, organized by The Link Arts Center were among the many artistic activities available for children to partake in.
For everyone in attendance, there was live music throughout the day from Austin Petrashune, Luisa Mei, Sooner than Before, Antwon Levee + Dust Band, TRYST, as well as a live radio broadcast with Amanda Dagley, to enjoy.
ART MARKET
And from noon to 6 p.m., around 25 artists and artisans lined parts of Margaret Street and Brinkerhoff Street to sell their art and network with the community.
Jim Kobak, of Harvester Art Studio in Peru, who uses spray paints, inks and acrylics to create his mostly demon-inspired spooky art, said Saturday’s event was the first one he has attended as a vendor.
“Usually I show a gallery at the Strand, and some other galleries, those kinds of things. This is my portable gallery,” Kobak said.
Kobak said he also sells his art at Peabody’s, and closer to the Halloween season, he’ll do shows locally to sell more.
FESTIVAL 'DONE VERY WELL'
After just a couple hours at the Lake City Art Festival though, he said he had already sold “a bunch” of his pieces.
“It (the festival) was done very well,” he said.
“I'm very happy and pleased with today, (because) a lot of people are enjoying the art versus just having craft vendors.”
TATTOOS AND BOUQUETS
Alex Reiter of Mindfeed Art in Plattsburgh, had temporary tattoos of his art, as well as discounted art prints for sale.
When asked how his art was selling, Reiter said “it’s been OK.”
“Give me another couple hours and I’ll let you know.”
Down the street from Kobak and Reiter’s displays was Anne Burnett from Mossbrook Roots Flower Farm.
Her art display included several different flower bouquets and arrangements.
INSTANT CONNECTION
She praised events like the Lake City Art Festival, because they help smaller businesses like Mossbrook get their name out there.
“I think it's just that community exposure,” she said.
“It's just been really amazing to have people come by and play with the flowers and light up — it’s like an instant connection.” | https://www.pressrepublican.com/news/lake-city-arts-festival-takes-over-city-streets/article_737f14a0-266b-11ed-820f-7b3ceec1d6c4.html | 2022-08-28T10:37:20Z | https://www.pressrepublican.com/news/lake-city-arts-festival-takes-over-city-streets/article_737f14a0-266b-11ed-820f-7b3ceec1d6c4.html | false | 1 |
I’m always told I’m too pretty for my job, but I’ve learnt to ignore the shocked faces
A WOMAN who decided to follow in her dad's footsteps by becoming a plasterer has revealed she's constantly told she is too pretty for the job.
Melissa Borsellino from Hudson, Herts, confessed she has always been a 'girly girl' and continues to do her job with fake nails, hair and eyelash extensions.
The 27-year-old made the move from bar manager to labourer due to her anxiety and feeling overwhelmed by the crowds.
She decided to jack in the job and push herself out of her comfort zone by learning a trade.
Despite being in overalls and working on building sites, Melissa still keeps to her girly routes sporting a full face of makeup hair extensions, and false nails.
Her glamorous appearance has been known to cause confusion and doubts in the male dominantly industry and she has even been told she is ‘too pretty’ to be a plasterer.
She said: “I am yet to meet another woman in the industry... I understand it is unusual seeing a girl turn up with 24-inch hair extensions and false nails, but I have learnt to ignore the shocked faces.
Melissa added: “I needed to leave the hospitality industry because it was making me anxious but I am dyslexic, so my options were limited as I struggle with computers.
“I thought 'what can I do to earn a decent income like a bloke? Then I had a light bulb moment and asked my dad Tony, 56, to let me work with him as he has been plastering for 40 years.
“He was sceptical as I am a girly girl, so I had to prove myself. I did this by painting his shed which has nothing to do with plastering, but I just wanted him to show I am up for manual labour and don't mind getting mucky.

“The transition from bar manager to plasterer hasn't been easy. I couldn't even lift a bag of materials when I first started so I joined the gym and within weeks I was flinging it over my shoulder."
But it wasn't just the physical tasks, Melissa had to adjust to but the ‘undermining’ comments from others as well.
“I have had to earn my respect from other tradesmen or male customers but I am getting better by the day so I can take the banter on the chin," she revealed.
Melisa added: "There’s nothing more daunting than having to work on a construction site with just men.
“It can be patronising, but I have learnt to shake it off."
“I have been told I am ‘too pretty’ to be in this profession, but I didn’t realise there was a certain look for it.
“Some people assume I am a cleaner or labourer, I used to correct them but now I let my work do the talking," she explained.
When dolled up, Melissa says strangers are in disbelief when she reveals her job role and the only way, she can prove it is by showing the callus on her hands.
Working in construction has helped Melissa’s anxiety massively, she has learnt to conquer her fears by stepping completely out of her comfort zone.
She adds: “Work is fun, and I am always laughing and joking.
“We spend the day singing to songs whilst working so it is home time before we know it.
“Times have been tough, but I have pushed forward and now my work does the talking.
“I hope my story inspires other women to become whatever they want to be.
“It is a man’s world, but it doesn’t have to be.
“It doesn’t matter what others think about jobs that aren’t stereotypically for women.
“The only thing that matters are being happy within the workplace and continuing to thrive.” | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19639701/too-pretty-for-job-i-ignore-shocked-faces/ | 2022-08-28T10:39:14Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19639701/too-pretty-for-job-i-ignore-shocked-faces/ | false | 4 |
More than 25,000 migrants have crossed Channel this year, latest figures reveal
More than 25,000 migrants have crossed the English Channel this year, latest Home Office statistics have revealed.
The figures showed the total number of people making the dangerous journey from France hit 25,146 on Saturday after a further 19 small boats crossed the water with 915 people on board.
It also brought the monthly total so far to 8,747, with a record-breaking 1,295 arriving in one day on 22nd August.
The numbers are continuing to rise despite the government's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, which it claimed would deter people from making the crossing.
They have yet to deport anyone after legal challenges to the policy grounded its first flight in June, and critics of the scheme continue to battle against it in the courts.
Legal papers revealed Home Secretary Priti Patel had been warned against the move, with one Foreign Office worker saying torture and "even killings" are accepted in the country.
The UK high commissioner to Rwanda in 2021 also warned that the country "has been accused of recruiting refugees to conduct armed operations in neighbouring countries".
But Ms Patel has continued to defend the policy, insisting the country is "safe", and both Tory leadership candidates have said they would keep the scheme if they become the next prime minister.
A full hearing is scheduled to take place next month on whether the Rwanda plan is lawful or not.

I’m a laundry pro – my hack for removing the toughest stains from clothes, even chewing gum and nail polish
GETTING a tough to shift stain on your clothes is annoying, particularly when it won't come out in the washing machine.
But now a laundry expert shared his pro hack for getting rid of even the "toughest" stains, even including nail polish stains and chewing gum.
Deyan Dimitrov, CEO of Laundryheap, insisted that with his tips there's no need to throw the garments away.
Speaking to Daily Express, he said: “Soak the garment in lemon juice and use the blunt edge of a knife to scrape away excess gum.
“Wash your garment in the washing machine immediately to prevent the lemon juice from changing the colour of your clothes.
“Alternatively, for dark coloured items, if you fancy trying a different condiment to combat gum, you can also use mayonnaise. Massage a dollop of mayonnaise into the item of clothing, and the gum should simply peel off.”
Another washing nightmare is when a balled up tissue is a piece of clothing's pocket leaves flecks of white all over the clothes.
The laundry pro suggested giving the clothes a little shake to get as much tissue off them as possible.

Then he said you should dissolve four aspirin tablets in hot water and pop the garment in the water.
He suggested leaving this for two hours and then rinsing it in the machine.

When it comes to nail polish, it can seem like there's no coming back but the expert insisted that's not the case.
Start by scraping off any excess polish with the blunt side of a spoon.
He then said you're best off dabbing the area with a cloth and rubbing alcohol until the stain is gone.
Finally wash the clothes in soap and water to remove the alcohol and finish off by putting it through the machine on a normal wash. | https://www.thesun.ie/fabulous/9319833/laundry-hack-removing-stains-clothes-chewing-gum-nail-polish/ | 2022-08-28T10:52:49Z | https://www.thesun.ie/fabulous/9319833/laundry-hack-removing-stains-clothes-chewing-gum-nail-polish/ | false | 4 |
Cincinnati Bengals safety Jessie Bates III has tried and failed for two offseasons to finish a contract extension with the team. Now set to play under the franchise tag in his fifth season, it’s already too late for that until next year. He’s not happy about it, but as of earlier this week, he’s here.
The veteran skipped all of the offseason up to this point before reporting to training camp on Wednesday. Because he was offered a franchise tag and he did not sign it before reporting, he was technically not under contract, and thus under no obligation to participate in team activities, mandatory or otherwise, and so would not have been subject to any fines.
He had, however, reportedly seriously weighed the possibility of sitting out the season, as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Le’Veon Bell did back in 2018. The difference then, of course, was the fact that Bell already made good money on the franchise tag in 2017 and thus was in better position to sit out.
Whatever happened, Bates decide to report, and he’s all in on the 2022 season and making this version of the team as good as it can be—and also proving to the league that he is at the top of his position, just in time to cash in on the open market.
“It’s a great opportunity to continue to present what I’m about, who I am to this franchise and other teams as well”, he told reporters this past week, via the team’s website. “Like I said, I’m looking at this as an opportunity to prove that I’m one of the best safeties in this league”.
A second-round draft pick out of Wake Forest in 2018, Bates is a four-year starter, missing only two games this past season. He has over 400 tackles and 10 career interceptions. During the Bengals’ postseason run in 2021, he intercepted two passes with six passes defensed.
Despite his consistently strong play, his party and the Bengals front office have for two years now failed to reach an agreement. In April, they used their first-round draft pick on a safety in Dax Hill, whom he has now taken under his wing.
“He gave me words of advice”, the rookie told reporters of his first interactions with the veteran after he reported to training camp on Wednesday. “He’s here to help me out. He’s been loving the way I’ve been playing. He said, “Just keep up the good work. You’ve been playing well’”.
Just not ahead of himself. In addition to Bates, the team’s other starting safety, Vonn Bell, is also scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in March. Will they manage to re-sign either of them? It’s very unlikely to be both. And one will be significantly cheaper. Oh, and they’ll have a franchise quarterback to pay, as well. | https://steelersdepot.com/2022/08/jessie-bates-approaching-season-as-chance-to-prove-hes-one-of-the-best-safeties-in-this-league/ | 2022-08-28T10:53:35Z | https://steelersdepot.com/2022/08/jessie-bates-approaching-season-as-chance-to-prove-hes-one-of-the-best-safeties-in-this-league/ | false | 1 |
Dan Walker forced to issue urgent correction after making X-rated mistake in tweet
TV presenter Dan Walker has been forced to make an urgent correction to a tweet after making an X-rated mistake.
The 45-year-old hosted his new show Digging For Treasure last night alongside Michaela Strachan where viewers were introduced to metal detectorists, mudlarkers and marine archaeologists who made up the live audience and crew.
After the show aired Dan took to Twitter to thank fans for watching the show, but a mix up of words led him to issue an urgent correction.
Instead of Digging for Treasure, Dan called the show Dogging for Treasure, and said: “Fantastic response to Dogging For Treasure last night and great figures!
“Thanks for watching and for the feedback. We are filming again today - with a little less clapping - and celebrating with a snack of choice.”
Realising he’d said ‘dogging’ not ‘digging’ the star rushed to correct his mistake and wrote: “DIGGING DIGGING DIGGIN,” followed by emojis with hands over their faces.
People were quick to jump into the comments to alert Dan to his mistake with playful responses, with one person writing: “We thought it was a programme about archaeology.
Comedian Richard Osman playfully responded and said: “Great to see you in a slit trench going at it with both hands on your tool. #DoggingForTreasure.”
Dan replied and said: “Stop it. Dogging is already trending. Career low point 😂.”
The first episode showed the team in a field in Allerton, North Yorkshire, with former BBC Breakfast star Dan hosting from inside a tent and Michaela, 56, out in the field helping to dig up artifacts from the soil.
The show also featured a pre-recorded segment filmed off the coast of Cornwall with divers searching a ship wreck.
However the format baffled people watching at home who took to Twitter to say they felt short changed over the lack of explanation about each of the discoveries.
They also said they couldn't understand the excitement coming from the tent.

One sniped on Twitter: "I have always thought archaelogy programmes needed constant, pointless rounds of applause and wild whooping rather than detailed historical analysis."
Another commented: "Nope. Would usually keep watching but trying to 'whoop up' finding historic items and not giving any background. Why are we now going to the sea?!" | https://www.thesun.ie/tv/9319536/dan-walker-issues-correction-x-rated-mistake/ | 2022-08-28T10:54:39Z | https://www.thesun.ie/tv/9319536/dan-walker-issues-correction-x-rated-mistake/ | true | 3 |

DC is right and Edward should say no. Jorge is NOT a good dude, sneaking out from behind bushes to assault ppl and then running away without consequence. He's on a three fight losing streak and yet he has the audacity to want to fight a world champion.

Leon Edwards’ coach Dave Lovell responds to Jorge Masvidal’s call for a title shot: “Mr. Masvidal, you little rat Judas, your time will come also”
Leon Edwards’s coach Dave Lovell doesn’t think Jorge Masvidal is anywhere near a title shot. Edwards and Masvidal of course have a history due to the three-piece and a soda incident, and from previously being booked to fight at UFC 269 before ‘Gamebred’ was forced out with an injury. With that, after Edwards knocked out Kamaru Usman to become the UFC’s new welterweight champ, Masvidal was vocal in wanting to make the fight finally happen, despite being on a three-fight losing skid.

Luke Rockhold explains face-to-face blood smear on Paulo Costa: ‘I was in there with a lesser man’
Luke Rockhold’s last fight of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career is one fans definitely won’t forget. At UFC 278 this past weekend (Aug. 20, 2022) in Salt Lake City, Utah, the co-main featured two Middleweights with some bad blood between each other. The returning former champion, Rockhold, found himself across from one-time title challenger, Paulo Costa, who was looking to rebound off the first two losses of his career. The quickly explosive contest slowed down significantly as round two rolled around and both men found themselves impacted by the city’s elevation.

Cities near Ukrainian nuclear plant shelled
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Russian rocket and artillery strikes hit areas across the Dnieper River from Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, Ukrainian officials said Sunday, as fears persisted that fighting in the vicinity could damage the plant and cause a radiation leak.
Russian forces took control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant soon after the war began and hold adjacent territory along the left bank of the wide river. Ukraine controls the right bank, including the cities of Nikopol and Marhanets, each of them about 10 kilometers (six miles) from the plant.
Heavy firing during the night left parts of Nikopol without electricity, said Valentyn Reznichenko, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region. Rocket strikes damaged about a dozen residences in Marhanets, according to Yevhen Yevtushenko, the administration head for the district that includes the city of about 45,000.
The city of Zaporizhzhia, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) upriver from the nuclear plant, also came under fire during the night, wounding two people, city council member Anatoliy Kurtev said.
In eastern Ukraine, where Russian and separatist forces are trying to take control, shelling hit the large and strategically significant cities of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, but no casualties were reported, said Pavlo Kyrylenko, governor of the Donetsk region.
Much of the Donetsk region is held by Russian and separatist forces. It is one of two Ukrainian regions that Russia has recognized as sovereign states.
Authorities last week began distributing iodine tablets to residents who live near the Zaporizhzhia plant in case of radiation exposure, which can cause health problems.
Much of the concern centers on the cooling systems for the plant’s nuclear reactors. The systems require power to run, and the plant was temporarily knocked offline Thursday because of what officials said was fire damage to a transmission line. A cooling system failure could cause a nuclear meltdown.
Russian forces occupied the nuclear plant complex early in the 6-month-old war, but local Ukrainian workers have kept it running. The Ukrainian and Russian governments have repeatedly accused the other of shelling the complex and nearby areas, raising fears of a possible catastrophe.
Periodic shelling has damaged the power station’s infrastructure, Ukraine’s nuclear power operator, Energoatom, said Saturday.
“There are risks of hydrogen leakage and sputtering of radioactive substances, and the fire hazard is high,” it said.
The U.N.’s atomic energy agency has tried to work out an agreement to send a team in to inspect and help secure the plant. Officials said preparations for the visit were underway, but it remained unclear when it might take place.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Kneeling in a patch of yellow wildflowers, a Chechen soldier carefully attaches an explosive device to the bottom of a small drone. Seconds later, it is released. It explodes next to two old storefront mannequins set up 200 meters (yards) away, one with a Russian-style military hat on its head.
After this and other training outside the Ukrainian capital, the Chechen soldiers, in assorted camouflage footwear and protective gear, will be heading to the front lines in Ukraine, vowing to continue the fight against Russia that raged for years in their North Caucasus homeland.
Fighters from Chechnya, the war-scarred republic in southern Russia, are participating on both sides of the conflict in Ukraine.
Pro-Kyiv volunteers are loyal to Dzhokhar Dudayev, the late Chechen leader who headed the republic’s drive for independence from Russia. They form the “Dudayev Battalion” and are the sworn enemies of Chechen forces who back Russian President Vladimir Putin and joined Russia in the months-long siege of Ukraine’s key port of Mariupol and other flashpoints in eastern and southern Ukraine.
One group of new Chechen arrivals, many of whom live in Western Europe, was being trained at a makeshift firing range outside Kyiv before heading east. At a training session Saturday, the new recruits ‒ all Muslim men ‒ shouted “Allahu akbar!” (“God is great!”), holding their rifles in the air before being handed military ID cards that are issued to volunteers.
Ukrainian officials say the Chechen battalion currently numbers several hundred who fight alongside the country’s military but are not formally under the national command.
Instructors teach the new battalion members combat basics, including how to use a weapon, assume a firing position and how to work in teams. Trainers include veterans of wars in Chechnya that ended in 2009, some joining up in Ukraine after the fighting against Russia-backed separatists started in Ukraine in 2014.
Tor, a volunteer who asked only to be identified by his battlefield nickname, said he sees no difference between the two conflicts.
“People have to understand we don’t have a choice,” he said speaking in English and with his face covered. “If they (Russian forces) win this war, they will continue. They never stop. I don’t know. The Baltic countries will be next, or Georgia or Kazakhstan. Putin openly, absolutely, says he wants to rebuild the Soviet empire.”
Russia launched two wars to prevent Chechnya, a mostly Muslim province, from gaining independence after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. The first conflict erupted in 1994.
The second Chechen war began in 1999 and culminated in a siege by Russian troops of Grozny, the Chechen capital, which was devastated by heavy Russian bombardment. After years of battling an insurgency, Russian officials declared the conflict in Chechnya over in 2017.
Muslim Madiev, a veteran fighter of the Chechen conflicts, identified himself as an adviser to the volunteer battalion in Ukraine. He joined the soldiers Saturday in shooting practice, taking aim at a plastic bottle held up on a stick. Bullet casings flew from his automatic rifle onto a field already littered with bullets, shotgun cartridges and cardboard target sheets.
“We’re going to win this war. The whole world is already standing up for us,” he says, speaking in Russian.
“We were the only ones who fought for ourselves (in Chechnya). No one stood with us. But now the whole world is behind Ukraine. We must win, we must win,” he declared. ___ Follow AP’s coverage of the war in Ukraine at https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine | https://www.nbc4i.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-rival-chechen-fighters-take-war-to-battlefields-of-ukraine/ | 2022-08-28T11:14:36Z | https://www.nbc4i.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-rival-chechen-fighters-take-war-to-battlefields-of-ukraine/ | false | 23 |

Noida twin towers demolition: The moment Supertech skyscrapers imploded
On Sunday afternoon, two skyscrapers near India's capital Delhi were demolished in a carefully planned explosion. It was the biggest such operation in India so far, and generated so much interest that it was telecast live on TV channels.
Thousands of people who live in the neighbourhood had to evacuate hours before the blast, which was powered by around 3,700kg of explosives.
And the work isn't over yet - the next step is clearing thousands of tonnes of debris generated by the demolition.
The BBC's Anshul Verma captured the moment when the two towers turned to dust - and also spoke to the team behind the operation. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-asia-india-62706495 | 2022-08-28T11:35:58Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-asia-india-62706495 | false | null |
P.D. James has been writing detective fiction for nearly half a century. Her first book featuring the Scotland Yard detective Adam Dalgliesh, Cover Her Face, was published in 1962. It's no surprise that she's developed a finely honed definition of what makes for a good detective story.
"What we have is a central mysterious crime, which is usually murder," James tells Linda Wertheimer. "We have a closed circle of suspects with means, motive and opportunity for the crime. We have a detective, who can be amateur or professional, who comes in rather like an avenging deity to solve it. And by the end, we do get a solution."
James is also particular about the way a plot progresses, especially the manner in which the story's clues may be revealed to its protagonist.
"The detective can know nothing which the reader isn't also told," she insists. "It would be a very, very bad detective story at the end if the reader felt, 'Who could possibly have guessed that?' "
James says she never expected to land on the best-seller list — she originally thought it would be "a wonderful apprenticeship for someone setting out to be a serious writer" — but the longtime fan has amassed a trove of knowledge about the genre. And she isn't keeping it under lock and key.
James says that the detective genre, which shone most brightly during "the golden age" — the two decades between the first and second World Wars — has stayed fertile by pairing quality writing with time-honored conventions.
In fact, says James, "I think we are entering a second golden age."
That's partly because, as James sees it, the genre has something of a calming effect.
"The theory is that the mystery flourishes best in times of acute anxiety and depression, and we're in a very depressed state at the moment," she says.
The key to this appeal is the idea that no matter how puzzling the crime, a solution exists.
"It's solved not by good luck or divine intervention," James says. "It's solved by a human being. By human courage and human intelligence and human perseverance. In a sense, the detective story is a small celebration of reason and order in our very disorderly world."
Asked how the genre has changed since the first "golden age," James points to the incredibly ornate deaths upon which the plots of many classic detective stories rest.
"Nowadays we look for greater realism," she says. "It's interesting if you can have an original method of death. But the book should be realistic. The people should be realistic. So I think we are trying to be truer to life and also to say something about the society in which we live."
In her new book, James lists four authors who wrote during that "golden age" — all of them female — who helped to "[lift] a rather despised genre into a form which could be taken seriously": Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham and Ngaio Marsh.
Of the four, James says she was influenced by Sayers' sense of plotting and the quality of her writing. She loved reading Christie's books, but never believed that the author's solutions had any relationship to reality. Rather, says James, Christie novels take place "in Christie-land, which is a very good place to be. [But] it's not reality."
Still, all four gave the future writer who made a home in the genre a foundation on which to build.
"They showed that it was important to write well," says James. "They were very clever in their plotting, and we do care very much about their heroes — of course their heroes are as different from a real life detective as they could possibly be."
James notes that the sleuths that populate the popular series of Sayers (Lord Peter Wimsey) and Christie (Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple) have something in common, and suggest a warning to would-be detective authors: "Be very careful to create someone who isn't too eccentric."
James named her detective Adam Dalgliesh after an English teacher.
"I gave him the personal qualities I very much admire," James says. "I made him courageous but not foolhardy, very intelligent, sensitive and compassionate, but not sentimental."
For 47 years, it's been a winning formula. "I haven't had to change him drastically in any way," James says.

Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari was satisfied with Athletico’s draw against Ceará on Saturday night (27). He preserved most of his starting players for next Tuesday’s match (30), against Palmeiras, in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores.
The game, which will be played at Arena da Baixada, should require a heroic character from the team, according to Felipão.
“I think and understand that it will be a well balanced game. Knowing how I know Palmeiras, their way of working, their concepts through Abel and his group, which are very strong, we will have to play very well to be able to overcome them . Our two games will have to be heroic to be able to overcome them. It’s a final. We respect a lot, but we understand that, playing as we play and as we are prepared to play, they will also respect us”, he said, in a press conference of press.
The team has been prioritizing performance in cups. It was like this in the Copa do Brasil, in which Athletico was eliminated by Flamengo last Wednesday (24th) and this is the same trend in the Brazilian. The performance in the running points competition, however, keeps the team at the top of the table.
There are 39 points in 24 rounds and 5th place, tied with Corinthians and Internacional, who will play this Sunday (28). In the last six games, since the week of the first match against Flamengo, the team won eight points, with two wins, two draws and two defeats. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/28/felipao-wants-heroic-athletico-against-palmeiras-its-a-final/ | 2022-08-28T12:01:46Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/28/felipao-wants-heroic-athletico-against-palmeiras-its-a-final/ | false | 2 |
Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid joins Fresh Air to discuss recent Taliban advances in Pakistan.
Taliban-led violence in Pakistan, especially on the Afghanistan border, appears to be escalating. On Feb. 3, militants associated with the hard-line religious movement destroyed a bridge in Northwest Pakistan that supplies food, gas, and equipment to US-led forces in Afghanistan. On Feb. 2, an American U.N. official was kidnapped and his Pakistani driver were killed; officials say they suspect Taliban militants.
Rashid covers Pakistani culture and politics for a number of publications including The Daily Telegraph and The Far Eastern Economic Review.
He has written several books, including Descent into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia and the bestseller Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil, and Fundamentalism in Central Asia. He is a regular guest on Fresh Air..

The 138-year-old Simmons-Wright Company store in Kewanee, Mississippi looks like a relic, almost a museum dedicated to country life.
Its two floors are filled with baskets of cotton, cast-iron skillets and farming plows. But hiding underneath it all is a remarkably nimble business, one that's survived that long by knowing how to adapt.
Country stores are a hallmark of rural life – the kind of places where you can buy fertilizer in one aisle, lotion in the next and crickets for bait in a third.
Many, like Simmons-Wright Company, have survived for more than 100 years by learning to adapt when confronted with every economic challenge that has come its way, from the Great Recession to the Great Depression.
Now, those stores are putting those survival skills to use to deal with the latest challenge: the highest inflation the country has seen in around 40 years.
Simmons-Wright Company owner Gary Pickett says he sees the impact when his suppliers charge him more and his wallet-squeezed customers spend less.
"Normally we'll have people come in here buying 100, 150 dollars' worth of stuff," he says while watching a regular searching through the home repair wall. "Now they're coming in here and maybe they buy about 20 dollars' worth of stuff."
A matter of survival
Surviving in the face of tough economic times is nothing new for Pickett or generations of his family. He inherited the business, just off the interstate, after it was passed down to him by his aunt.
In 2008, the Great Recession was cutting into his business. In order to save the store Pickett created a new niche for the business, selling pork skins and fried catfish in the store while delivering burgers to a truck line across the border in Alabama.
The 1884 Cafe has now become the majority of his business. That makes the old knick-knacks the store is best known more like rustic decorations than actual revenue generators.
That shift helped him keep the doors open and later avoid the fate of other country stores forced to close as dollar stores replaced Walmarts as the low-cost place to shop in rural communities.
"Dollar Generals are everywhere," Pickett says "I don't try to compete with them."
Grappling with high inflation
But Pickett says now even his restaurant is feeling the inflation squeeze, and he's rethinking how to run his over 100 year business to keep the doors open.
Before, Pickett wouldn't mind throwing some extra fries into the styrofoam containers he packs meals in.
But now, to keep up with prices, Pickett's team measures everything – even the hamburger patties get weighed before cooking.
Prices at the store and restaurant have gone up around 15%. Really, he should have taken them up another 15%, Pickett says, but he also knows he can't raise prices too much.
Lauderdale County, where the store is located, is similar to much of the rest of the state with roughly one out of five residents living below the poverty line.
"Well, the beef and the meat has almost doubled in price," he says. "And we've gone up just a little bit, but we haven't gone up the percentage we need to go up."
However, Pickett knows if inflation continues to stay high, he will be forced to raise prices even at his restaurant.
"I know we're going to have to go up. We just don't want to run everybody off it, regular customers," he says.
Yet another pivot?
Just like when he pivoted to his restaurant business, Pickett is considering whether he will need more drastic changes to ensure survival at a time when economists are now also warning about a potential recession.
One idea floated by Pickett's son is to turn the place into an event venue. His son predicts wedding and photo shoots held at the store's old cotton gin could bring in $10,000 per event.
The idea leans into a key part of Pickett's current business model – nostalgia. The old nutcrackers and antique soda bottles might not sell, but they draw in customers.
After all, changing focus yet again wouldn't be anything new for the Simmons-Wright Company.
At one point the whole second floor of the store was dedicated to shoes. In other years, the cotton gin and blacksmith shop were the moneymakers. It has even sold caskets.
It's how generations of his family have ensured the survival of the business.
"They were people that did what it took to survive," Pickett says.
Pickett hopes his son and daughter will have to be the ones to decide on that next pivot when he eventually leaves them the store. But as he confronts the current moment of punishing inflation, it may force him yet again to figure out how to ensure the Simmons-Wright Company survives.

Five inmates escaped from a juvenile home by breaking a window at the facility in Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district on Sunday, police said.
In the early hours of the day, five inmates who were brought here some days back broke the window of the kitchen and fled, said Sunil Gupta, the in-charge of Saman police station.
The inmates had been brought to the facility a few days ago for their involvement in various crimes, he said.
The inmates had dinner and went to sleep on Saturday night, but escaped in the morning even as the security personnel stood guard outside, he said.
A manhunt has been launched for the escapees and they will soon be detained, the official added.

President Biden's plan to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in student debt is sparking heated debate.
Biden last week announced plans to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for Pell Grant recipients and up to $10,000 for others who qualify.
The news will provide relief for borrowers at a time when the cost of higher education has surged.
But critics are questioning the fairness of the plan and warn about the potential impact on inflation should the students with the forgiven loans increase their spending.
Here are three key arguments – for and against the wisdom of Biden's decision.
Raising living standards or adding fuel to inflation?
Undoubtedly, student debt is a big burden for a lot of people.
Under Biden's plan, 43 million people stand to have their loan payments reduced, while 20 million would have their debt forgiven altogether.
People whose payments are cut or eliminated should have more money to spend elsewhere – maybe to buy a car, put a down payment on a house or even put money aside for their own kids' college savings plan. So the debt forgiveness has the potential to raise the living standard for tens of millions of people.
Critics, however, say that additional spending power would just pour more gasoline on the inflationary fire in an economy where businesses are already struggling to keep up with consumer demand.
Inflation remains near its highest rate in 40 years and the Federal Reserve is moving to aggressively raise interest rates in hopes of bringing prices back under control.
Not all economists believe the debt forgiveness will do much to fuel inflation.
Debt forgiveness is not like the $1200 relief checks the government sent out last year, which some experts say added to inflationary pressure. Borrowers won't suddenly have $20,000 deposited in their bank accounts. Instead, they'll be relieved of making loan payments over many years.
Because the relief is dribbled out slowly, Ali Bustamante, who's with left-leaning Roosevelt Institute says Biden's move won't move the needle on inflation very much.
"It's just really a drop in the bucket when it come to just the massive level of consumer spending in our very service- and consumer-driven economy," he says.
The White House also notes that borrowers who still have outstanding student debt will have to start making payments again next year. Those payments have been on hold throughout the pandemic.
Restarting them will take money out of borrower's pockets, offsetting some of the additional spending power that comes from loan forgiveness.
Helping lower income Americans or a sop to the rich?
Another big point of contention has to do with fairness.
Forgiving loans would would effectively transfer hundreds of billions of dollars in debt from individuals and families to the federal government, and ultimately, the taxpayers.
Some believe that transfer effectively penalizes people who scrimped and saved to pay for college, as well as the majority of Americans who don't go to college.
They might not mind subsidizing a newly minted social worker, making $25,000 a year. But they might bristle at underwriting debt relief for a business school graduate who's about to go to Wall Street and earn six figures.
The White House estimates 90% of the debt relief would go to people making under $75,000 a year. Lower-income borrowers who qualified for Pell Grants in college are eligible for twice as much debt forgiveness as other borrowers.
But individuals making as much as $125,000 and couples making up to $250,000 are eligible for some debt forgiveness. Subsidizing college for those upper-income borrowers might rub people the wrong way.
"I still think a lot of this benefit is going to go to doctors, lawyers, MBAs, other graduates that have very high earnings potential and may even have very high earnings this year already," says Marc Goldwein senior policy director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Helping those in need or making college tuition worse?
Goldwein also complains that the loan forgiveness doesn't address the larger problem of soaring college tuition costs.
In fact, he suggests, it might make that problem worse — like a Band-Aid that masks a more serious infection underneath.
For years, the cost of college education has risen much faster than inflation, which is one reason student debt has exploded.
By forgiving some of that debt, the government will provide relief to current and former students.
But Goldwein says the government might encourage future students to take on even more debt, while doing little to instill cost discipline at schools.
"People are going to assume there's a likelihood that debt is canceled again and again," Goldwein says. "And if you assume there's a likelihood it's canceled, you're going to be more likely to take out more debt up front. That's going to give colleges more pricing power to raise tuition without pressure and to offer more low-value degrees."
The old rule in economics is when the government subsidizes something, you tend to get more of it. And that includes high tuition and college debt.

ATLANTA – Stacey Abrams didn't always support abortion rights. The high-profile Democratic candidate for governor in Georgia, the daughter of two retired United Methodist pastors, grew up opposing abortion because of her religious beliefs at the time.
But on the campaign trail ahead of the November midterms where Georgians will cast ballots in the contentious gubernatorial race, Abrams tells the story of her change of heart that happened in college.
"I evolved on this issue because I learned more. And what I understand is that abortion is not a political decision. It is a medical choice," she said during a press conference in July.
Abortion rights have been thrust into the center of Democrat's campaign for statewide offices in Georgia.
The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and hand the decision on abortion back to states heightened the stakes of decisions made at the ballot box. Particularly in Georgia, where shortly after the ruling a federal appeals court decided the state's strict abortion law could immediately take effect.
By a narrow vote in 2019, Georgia lawmakers passed a law that bans most abortions around six weeks of pregnancy, which opponents say is often before a person knows they're pregnant.
It also includes controversial language that gives an embryo or fetus at any stage of development legal rights. That has prompted a slate of legal questions.
Questions like whether or not a woman who has a miscarriage could be investigated for murder – although the law does not explicitly state that.
Polling shows Abrams trailing slightly behind her opponent, incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp with a little more than two months until the November election.
But the party eyes a new opportunity for a boost in turnout in their favor: hopes that anger over the law will mobilize the base and even win over some swing voters.
Momentum after Kansas
They have reason to be hopeful. In deeply conservative Kansas, voters recently turned up in droves to vote down a state constitutional referendum that would have dissolved abortion rights.
Abrams said that moment gave her hope.
"What that signals to us here in Georgia is that we have the same power. We are not a hyper-conservative state. We are a divided state," she said. "But that division disappears when you look at what's happening around the issue of abortion."
A recent poll conducted by the University of Georgia for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution showed that more than half of voters do not support the state's new abortion law.
Audrey Haynes, professor of political science at the university, said that Republicans may have alienated some independent voters with their strict abortion choices – a group that will be crucial in November as the margin of votes between statewide candidates has gotten slimmer over the past few years.
"It is clear that in the state of Georgia, most people – the majority of people – are opposed to what happened with Roe v. Wade," she said. "In fact, I think that one of the problems that Republicans have in this case is that they are projecting a level of conservatism on the electorate that doesn't really exist."
Republicans cheered the ruling when a federal appeals court in Georgia allowed the 2019 law to go forward after three years tied up in court.
"We are overjoyed that the court has paved the way for the implementation of Georgia's Life Act," said Kemp in the halls of the state Capitol in July.
But since initial reactions, the party has been quiet on the issue. Instead, Republicans in Georgia and nationally are working hard to leverage disapproval with President Joe Biden and the national economy as their go-to rallying cry to voters.
National polling from Monmouth University shows inflation is still top of mind for voters as they face sky-high prices at the grocery store and the gas pump.
Martha Zoller, the executive director for Georgia Life Alliance and longtime conservative commentator, is skeptical that abortion as a driving issue will have a measurable impact on the outcome of the election.
"I think people that are pro-life are already voting Republican and people that are pro-choice are already voting Democrat," she said. "In light of the economy and inflation, I just still think that this issue is not going to be the number one issue for most voters."
Trying for personal appeals
The top of the state ticket in Georgia is nearly entirely women – Stacey Abrams is the nominee for governor, Jen Jordan is up for attorney general and Bee Nguyen is in the contest for secretary of state.
The party has launched an aggressive effort to reach women voters – Democrats and Republicans alike – on the issue with emotional personal appeals.
"As more and more women understand what is happening, as more and more women face the reality of this law, we will see more and more women turn out," Abrams speculated.
In the basement of Abrams' headquarters, a small group of women gathered for an intimate conversation.
Abrams sat in the middle of the six women with a grim look on her face as they shared their personal stories of miscarriage.
Atlanta resident Alana Leverette emotionally described going through two miscarriages – one while she was at work.
"I felt embarrassed. I felt very, again, sad," she said. "But I wished I had more of a support system to be able to say, I need a minute, I need to grieve."
Uncertainty around Georgia's new law has sparked deeply personal conversations like this one across the state, although abortion opponents adamantly deny that the law would open a path for women to be investigated for murder after a miscarriage.
"The left is just trying to scare people," Zoller, with the Georgia Life Alliance, said.
Democratic state Rep. Shea Roberts was also among the group of women gathered at Abrams' headquarters that day.
She, too, has been sharing her own abortion story after she made the decision 15 years ago to terminate a pregnancy after bloodwork showed the baby would not survive outside the womb.
In 2020, she narrowly beat a Republican incumbent in a suburban Atlanta district – her opponent was one of the few GOP lawmakers who voted against Georgia's abortion ban in 2019.
With suburban women a highly sought-after voter demographic, Roberts is focusing a portion of her reelection campaign on reaching Republican and independent women on the issue of abortion.
"I'm hoping that's going to show up at the ballot box," she said. "I'm hoping that people understand. Yes. There are economic issues that need to be addressed right now. But this is [a] fundamental freedom."
Georgia is not the only place where abortion rights could be a key issue in November: Planned Parenthood recently announced a $50 million investment to mobilize around the issue nationwide.

When Bob Morris' widowed father decided to start dating again, guess who found himself sorting through the personals for the right woman?
But all the while Morris was helping his 80-year-old dad find a new partner, he was also looking for his own match — on gay dating Web sites. His book, Assisted Loving: True Tales of Double Dating with My Dad, comes out in paperback on June 2.
Morris is a contributor to the Styles section of The New York Times. His Age of Dissonance column ran for eight years in the Times, and this week he wrote an essay for Salon about being half of one of the 18,000 same-sex couples whose marriages were upheld May 26 in a California Supreme Court ruling that otherwise upheld the state's same-sex marriage ban.
This interview was first broadcast on May 28, 2008.

General News of Sunday, 28 August 2022

In a viral video published in 2020, the ruler of the Ashanti Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, admonished people who come from the Ashanti Region to be proud of their heritage.
The Asantehene, while speaking to a group of Ashantis in the diaspora, asked them to unite and be each other's keepers.
He reiterated that people who come from the Ashanti Region should be proud of who they are and should be confident about it publicly as well as defend one another, just as done by other tribes.
"Be concerned about your heritage as an Asante. You have not sinned if you say you are an Ashanti publicly. Others (tribes) are doing that, so why should you (an Ashanti) feel shy about doing the same thing? Why is it that, even at work, your own Ashanti has all the paperwork or qualifications, yet you are withholding employing them? I am not saying, give the job to the unqualified... We (Ashantis) don't have love; others (other tribes) fight for themselves...if we unite and fight for ourselves, nothing can separate us," Otumfuo said in the one-minute, 27-second video sighted by GhanaWeb.
The video surfaced in the wake of members of the Ashanti Traditional Council who are being lashed by a section of the general public.
Bantamahene, Baffour Amankwatia VI, the acting president of the Kumasi Traditional Council, banned Oyerepa Radio from operating in the Ashanti Region, effective August 25, 2022.
According to reports, Amankwatia VI ordered the Kumasi-based private radio station to close down because of comments made by a pundit on one of its shows that implicated chiefs in the region for the failure to curb the menace of illegal small-scale mining (galamsey).
The report indicated that the order was given after a team from a delegation from Oyerepa Radio and TV appeared before the traditional council to apologise for the comments made by the said pundit, Akwasi Addai.
Earlier, the Kumasi Traditional Council performed rituals to banish Akwasi Addai, who is popularly known as Odike, for accusing Ashanti chiefs of condoning illegal mining.
According to the Kumasi Traditional Council, the businessman turned politician made inciteful statements that the Council deemed to be distasteful, unsubstantiated, and meant to dent the image of Manhyia.
The chiefs slaughtered a ram as part of the rituals to banish him.
Odike in an interview on Oyerepa Radio berated the chiefs for failing to help end the ‘galamsey’ menace.
He went ahead to urge the youth to rise and demonstrate against chiefs if the traditional rulers fail to come clear on their roles in or stance against illegal mining. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/FLASHBACK-Be-proud-to-publicly-declare-you-are-an-Ashanti-Otumfuo-Osei-Tutu-II-1611725 | 2022-08-28T12:40:12Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/FLASHBACK-Be-proud-to-publicly-declare-you-are-an-Ashanti-Otumfuo-Osei-Tutu-II-1611725 | true | 2 |

All the people that vented and didn't know the truth are finally quiet like crickets. Let this serve as a lesson everything in the news and on TV is not always the truth. So many people where divided by corrupted police officers. Everyone claiming back the blue should know not to have expectations on people because you can easily be manipulated and deceived. Pray for discernment so in the future God will open your eyes and ears to the truth.

Multan's Decorated Huge Floral Clock Waiting For Repairing From Six Years
Mohammad Ali (@ChaudhryMAli88) Published August 28, 2022 | 05:10 PM
MULTAN, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Aug, 2022 ) :The city's decorated huge floral clock at the entry gate of Qasim Fort, waiting for attention of the authorities concerned for repairing from the last six years.
The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) had installed a huge decorated floral clock at the entry gate of Qasim Fort in collaboration with a private company for beautification and public attraction in 2014.
However, the clock had been stopped due to some technical faults after a few months of its installation. The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) spent funds for repairing the clock but the fault still exists, while the important parts of the clocks have been stolen away by the thieves.
Visitors have expressed concerned over the fault of that huge clock and demanded of the authorities concerned to repair the clock or replace it. The installation of the huge floral clock not only increased the beauty of the historical city but also remained one of the best places for public attraction.
Talking to APP here on Sunday, the spokesman of PHA Jalaluddin said that the department had tried time and again to make the clock functional by repairing its faulty parts. He said that the main machinery of the huge clock had already been stolen away by thieves a few years back adding that the case had been registered with the concerned police station for recovery of the machinery but still there was no development on it.
He added that the PHA had decided to privatize the clock to a private company in 2018 and the tender was announced but the plan was postponed due to the transfer of the then Director General PHA Sahibzadi Waseema Omer.
He maintained that the plan was again in the pipeline to privatize the site to private companies in order to make the clock functional and there would be positive news soon in this regard.
The companies would be bound for repairing and maintenance of the clock and they would be given permission for setting up cut-outs at the site for advertisement, Jalal added.
Jalal further stated that different other ideas were also being discussed by the authorities concerned to replace the clock by constructing a monument at the site. Once the project was initiated, it would be completed at a rapid pace, he added. It is pertinent to mention here that the huge floral clock had been installed in the historical Qasim Fort in 2014 but it had been stopped from the last six year due to some technical faults a few months later after its installation.

I’m a lottery expert – the simple Frequency strategy using hot and cold numbers can land you millions
THERE is an easy way to hit the lotto jackpot with this Frequency strategy using hot and cold numbers.
When a number is hot, it means that it commonly appeared in the past few lottery drawings.
Cold numbers are less common to pop up in a current draw.
There are pros and cons to both kinds of numbers, which is why using both hot and cold numbers may increase your chances of winning big.
Hot numbers may have a better chance of appearing in the draw or they may not because they have been too frequent.
While cold numbers have a smaller probability of appearing, they may start to appear because it's been a while since they've been drawn.
Some people choose to pick overdue numbers which have not been drawn for quite some time so that the pattern can be reversed, Lottery Texts revealed.
It is important to note that hot numbers are different from the most common lottery-winning numbers.
Numbers can be commonly drawn as bonus balls or for second-chance draws, but hot numbers are the ones that will win you the jackpot.
So, try to play both hot and cold numbers, even some overdue numbers, as the mix of high and low probabilities might land you millions.

A confident and reliable journalist who always desires to toss the unheard voices. I cover politics and governance extensively through stories.
Vithika Yadav is on a mission to educate the youth on the problems that no one wants to discuss. She started 'Love Matters' to give complete and honest information on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in India.
Vithika Yadav was born in Alwar, Rajasthan; according to her, women there were not liked to talk openly or come out of the veil. But, born in an educated and progressive family, Vithika started appraising the youth on issues that no one wanted to discuss. She started her career solving cases of human trafficking and worked with organisations across South Asia.
Interest in this subject kept increasing for Vithika, and she never looked back. Since childhood, she considered Kiran Bedi her idol, inspiring her to work on such issues. She started collecting information on crimes related to women and children, understanding the problems, and working on solving them.
Multimedia Platform- 'Love Matters'
She started the multimedia platform Love Matters, keeping every aspect of pregnancy, marriage, relationships, and rights for all genders. It is a digital Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) information platform catering to the needs of young people. They provide open-end and science-based information using innovative media formats.
The vision is to give complete and unbiased SRHR information to young people of all gender using websites, social media platforms, discussion boards, campaigns, podcasts, radio programs, and videos, including animation, virtual reality, and augmented reality. It started in India in 2011, has since scaled to five other regions, and is now a part of the Love Matters Global Network.
While talking to The Logical Indian, Vithika said, " Love Matters started with solid research and insights from the target audience of young people. It fulfilled an unmet need, and hence right after the launch, it was a huge success. I was passionate about what I was doing, and I tried my best to understand young people's challenges regarding their health and well-being. I spent time speaking to the youth about their problems. What problems they face, limitations, issues on which they cannot talk about openly, do they want such information?"
According to the company, the aim is to work as an intersection between media and public health, specialising in media for social change. Harnessing the power of technology, popular culture, design thinking, and storytelling, they seek to bridge the gap between young people, SRHR organisations, experts and service providers.
The Love Matters focuses on the needs of young people between the ages of 18-30 and produces right-based, gender-sensitive, and pan-sexual information on SRHR issues to suit the needs of all young people.
Understanding The Core Of Societal Issues
Vithika worked with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, BBC World Service Trust, Free the Slaves, and MTV EXIT. Her experiences helped her understand the core of societal issues, yet people don't talk freely about the same.
She currently serves as the Chair of the Global Advisory Board on Sexual Health and Well-being. In 2016 she was one of the Top 120 under 40 New Generation of Family Planning leaders in the world by Bill and Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health. | https://thelogicalindian.com/gender/vithika-yadav-educating-youth-on-gender-related-issues-37170 | 2022-08-28T13:23:03Z | https://thelogicalindian.com/gender/vithika-yadav-educating-youth-on-gender-related-issues-37170 | false | 1 |

Post Premium: Top news for the week of August 22 to 28
The Denver metro area housing market has emerged from the pandemic-induced fever that dominated last year and the first half of this year – a surge in activity and prices like no other the region has. never seen or probably will see in the years to come. And within those hottest markets, neighborhoods in Aurora, east Denver and central Jefferson County were hotter than others.
Record home inventories on the market at the start of the year led to bidding wars and a huge spike in home prices as buyers tried to get ahead of rising interest rates. And while the market cooled as those higher mortgage rates dampened demand in late spring and summer, the first half of 2022 will go down as one of the record highs.
“Wages and salaries are not keeping pace with housing costs. It is realistically unbearable. Something has to give at some point. Our housing market has changed, the question is how much will it continue to change,” said Steve Danyliw, Denver Metro Association of Realtors Market Trends Committee member and Littleton-based realtor.
Danyliw regularly releases home sales numbers on the 90 ZIPs that cover the 11-county area that DMAR defines as metro Denver. Over a given period, the popularity of a given neighborhood will fluctuate depending on what buyers are looking for and where they are most active. But as the market begins to come back down from its unsustainable course, it helps to know which areas have already started to brake hard and which are still accelerating as warning signs flash at slower speeds.

Other voices: Forgiving student loans is a costly mistake
With Wednesday’s long-awaited announcement forgiving the debts of certain student borrowers, President Joe Biden hopes to give Democrats a boost in this fall’s midterm elections. Whatever the short-term political gains, the decision is a costly mistake — and one that the administration will almost certainly come to regret.
Biden’s plan cancels $10,000 in federal student-loan debt for borrowers with annual incomes of $125,000 or less, or $250,000 for married couples. Students who received Pell Grants, which help low-income families pay for college, will have up to $20,000 forgiven. Biden also extended the freeze on loan repayment for all borrowers through the end of the year — the seventh such extension since the start of the pandemic.
The new policy provides relief to more than 90% of the 45 million Americans carrying federal student-loan debt. The White House estimates that 20 million borrowers would see their ledgers wiped clean altogether. Yet student-loan forgiveness of any kind is highly regressive, benefiting those who graduated college at the expense of the roughly 60% of Americans who didn’t. An analysis released on Tuesday found that roughly 42% of the benefits of student loan forgiveness would go to the wealthiest two-fifths of Americans, with the bottom fifth receiving just 12%.
If anything, those figures understate the extent to which this giveaway harms working-class and poor Americans. The combined impact of canceling debt and extending the repayment freeze will cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. Worse, by depriving the government of expected revenue, it will reduce funding available for investments in K-12 and early childhood learning that would do far more to promote economic opportunity and future growth.
While loan forgiveness won’t put cash in borrowers’ pockets, it still risks fueling inflation by encouraging consumers to spend money they would otherwise have put toward paying off their debts. And wiping out debt now will only encourage students to take out still-bigger loans in the future, reducing incentives for colleges to hold down tuition costs — thus, in all likelihood, making higher education even less accessible for the middle class.
About the best that can be said of this decision is that it could’ve been worse: Progressives had pressured the White House to cancel as much $50,000 in debt per borrower, with no income caps — an even bigger bonanza for the rich and those with graduate degrees. That this order was advanced under a dubious legal rationale — and will surely face challenges in court — only emphasizes that the administration’s goals are more political than practical.
What now? At a minimum, Biden needs to remove any lingering ambiguity about the end of the repayment freeze and make clear that all borrowers will have to resume making loan payments at the start of 2023. The administration should do more to protect taxpayers, for instance, by narrowing the public-service loan forgiveness program, which allows workers in public-sector and nonprofit jobs to wipe out their remaining student-loan balances after making 10 years of payments. Biden’s income-driven repayment plan would allow current and future borrowers to make monthly payments of 5% of their discretionary incomes, half the current amount; the Education Department should work to make it easier for borrowers to enroll in the program and pay automatically, which would reduce their likelihood of default.
These steps would help to limit the damage, but only up to a point. With one announcement, Biden has undermined any commitment to fiscal discipline, reinforced his party’s reputation for catering to elites, created a significant moral hazard, and likely made higher education less affordable for a generation. Canceling these debts may well please parts of Biden’s base. But everyone else will be stuck footing the bill.

Libyan capital remains tense a day after clashes left more than 30 dead
Residents fear that the fighting that capped a months-long political stalemate could explode into a wider war and a return to the heights of Libya’s long-running conflict.
Libya has descended into chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled and killed longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The oil-rich county has for years been divided between rival administrations, each backed by rogue militias and foreign governments.
The current stalemate stemmed from the failure to hold elections in December and Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah’s refusal to step down. In response, the country’s east-based parliament appointed a rival prime minister, Fathy Bashagha, who has been seeking for months to install her government in Tripoli.
Saturday’s fighting was concentrated in the densely populated city center and involved heavy artillery. Hundreds of people were trapped and hospitals, government and residential buildings were damaged.
The Health Ministry said at least 32 people were killed and 159 injured in the clashes.
Among the dead was Mustafa Baraka, a comedian known for his social media videos poking fun at militias and corruption. He was reportedly shot while broadcasting live on social media. It was not clear if he was targeted.
The Associated Press spoke to dozens of residents and witnesses. They recounted horrific scenes of people, including women and children, being trapped in their homes, government buildings and hospitals. They also spoke of at least three motionless bodies that lay in the street for hours before an ambulance could reach the area. They asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals from the militias.
“We see death in front of our eyes and in the eyes of our children,” said a woman who was trapped with many families in a residential apartment. “The world should protect these innocent children like it did in the days of Gaddafi.”
Militias allied to Tripoli-based Dbeibah were seen roaming the streets of the capital early on Sunday. Their rivals were stationed in their positions on the outskirts of town, according to local media.
Much of the city suffered overnight power outages. Several businesses were closed on Sunday and the state-run National Oil Corp. ordered its employees to work remotely on Sunday.
Residents were still weary of the potential violence and most stayed home on Sunday. Many rushed to supermarkets when the clashes died down late on Saturday to stock up on food and other essentials.
“It could be triggered in a flash. They (the militias) are out of control,” said a teacher from Tripoli who gave only a partial name, Abu Salim. “Our demand is very simple: a normal life.”
The government of Dbeibah claimed that the fighting started when a member of a rival militia fired on a patrol of another militia on Zawiya Street in Tripoli. He said the shots came amid a mobilization of Bashagha-allied groups around the capital. The claim could not be independently verified.
Clashes between militias are not uncommon in Tripoli. Last month, at least 13 people were killed in militia fighting. In May, Bashagha tried to install his government in Tripoli, triggering clashes that ended in his withdrawal from the city.

Washington County Historical Society to host rural-school reunion
Brent Peterson isn’t sure how many people who lived or taught at rural schools in Washington County are still alive.
But he’s hoping that those who are will attend the first annual Washington County Rural School Reunion on Sept. 24 at the Hay Lake School Museum in Scandia.
The reunion, which will be from noon to 4 p.m., “is for anyone who attended a one-room/two-room school anywhere in the county,” said Peterson, executive director of the Washington County Historical Society, which is hosting the reunion.
Washington County had 79 rural school districts and one joint district with Chisago County that were slowly consolidated during the 1940s and 1950s until all of them were closed by the early 1960s, he said.
Only a few of the schools are still standing, including the Hay Lake School; Eder School in Oakdale; Valley School in Denmark Township and the Hopkins school in Hugo.
The McKean School, which was located in West Lakeland Township, was moved to the grounds of Boutwells Landing in Oak Park Heights and was restored by volunteers from the senior-housing complex — many of whom attended one-room schoolhouses when they were children.
Former students are asked to stop by and share their stories and photographs; no reservations are required. Cake and lemonade will be served.

I’m pro-choice, but pro-life aren’t sexist, and “you wouldn’t say” you don’t want to impose your values on murder
On Friday’s show of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that while he’s pro-choice and thinks abortion isn’t murder, it’s wrong. to say pro-lifers are anti-women, because if you think abortion is murder, you can’t say, “well, except for people who have vaginas, they can commit murder.” And pushed back against arguments that pro-lifers shouldn’t impose their values by saying, “You wouldn’t say that about a murderer.” This is their point. »
Maher said, “I’m more pro-choice than you might imagine. I don’t think life is always precious, most people don’t. What I’m saying is don’t tell the other side you hate women. They don’t hate women. They just think it’s murder. And if you think it’s murder, then you can’t go there, well, except for people who have vaginas, they can commit murder. I don’t think it’s murder, but they’re doing it legitimately.
Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) replied: “Yes, but there are pro-life people who think it’s fine, they just don’t think they should give their opinion to someone else. ‘other.”

Letters: A 4-day workweek will strengthen us
A 4-day workweek will make us stronger
An oped piece by Lynn Schmidt in the Pioneer Press Aug. 21 (“It may depend on people getting to know each other again“) talks about our nation’s health. Schmidt talks about the importance of getting to know our neighbors better. I couldn’t agree more! Good neighbors make strong communities, and strong communities make solid citizens.
So, let’s consider a very straightforward way to give us all more time to be neighborly. We should reduce the legal standard for a full-time job from 40 to 32 hours, and the workweek from five days to four. And we should do this with no cut to the workers’ paychecks. Economists will tell us this is feasible, thanks to huge productivity gains already realized from automation and robotics and forthcoming thanks to the commercial application of artificial intelligence. More importantly, educators, psychologists, and medical professionals will all affirm the social benefits of an extra day of leisure each week to spend with family, friends, and neighbors.
Let’s start pushing for a four-day workweek.

Be positive about our future. And vote
Election time is coming up, and it is so very easy to get stuck in the negative when we see all the failures of leadership. Example: the criminal justice system in the cities and state, judicial system, and the seniors taxed on Social Security benefits.
Now is the time to be positive about our future.
Needless to say, we need some changes in the situation we find ourselves in. Let’s get some new faces and fresh ideas or the status quo will be the norm or only get worse. Stop this partisanship we are mired in and show support for individuals with new agendas. We have this great opportunity to change the downhill direction we are heading.
We must do better. We can do this with our vote.

For safety and security of nurses and patients
In response to letter “Now is not the time to strike” (Aug. 21), I would like to clear a few things up.
In 1984 I was a novice nurse who proudly walked the picket line in support of my chosen profession. This strike lasted 38 days, not the 12 weeks stated in the letter.
We gained many things from that strike, and it brought our job to a level of professionalism that had not been realized up to that point. It didn’t open the doors for hospitals to make “cost-saving changes.”
We gained staffing levels that the nurses had some control of, seniority language that helped encourage people to stay at their facility, along with language that gave us job protection and protection from being mandated to work less than our FTE (full time equivalent).
What we are asking for this go-round affects the safety and security of not only ourselves but our patients. Especially now in the environment of increased violence against healthcare workers.
The job of a nurse has gone from being one of service to being one of many professionals who work together to give our patients the best care possible.
It is today as it was in 1984, patients before profits.

Don’t just idle there
There are so many people that don’t have a clue, still unable to connect the dots of their behavior to the destruction of our planet for human habitation. If you look around, you will see these people sitting in their vehicles with their engines running, burning up gasoline, as they toy with their cell phones.
Car exhaust poisons our air and water, and of course ultimately, us. How did these people miss this most basic lesson?
However, there is a solution to this problem. When you get into your car and start your engine, drive away. When you arrive at your destination, turn your car off.

Ongoing debate on vaccines for kids
With advertisements in local papers informing the public that children 6 months and older are now eligible to get a Covid shot, it should be recognized that the perspectives of scientific and medical experts differ greatly on this subject. There is no fixed or final “science” that guarantees any injection to be absolutely safe for your child; rather, there is ongoing debate.
It always comes down to risk versus benefit, whatever the medical intervention is. Dr. John Campbell, respected by persons on all sides of the Covid issue for having integrity and being fair to both camps, has a video on Youtube called “Thai vaccine heart complications,” in which he voices his concerns about the results of a recent study out of Thailand regarding vaccine after-effects on youngsters. This would be well worth listening to before a decision is reached regarding one’s own youngest family members. Dr. Campbell has been a long time pro-vaccine advocate, and has received all the covid shots and boosters himself.
This is just a reminder to diligently do your own research, then do what you believe is right concerning your own children, whose lives are in your hands.

Vicki Harrell is a Broncomane in win-now mode. “I can’t wait to beat the Chiefs until it’s too late for me. Do you understand?”
Do you think Russell Wilson hates losing? You haven’t met Vicki Herrell. She is 100 years old, a proud addict who hears the urgent ticking of the clock. All Miss Vicki wants to do is win, win, win.
“We have to beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. At present. Not later,” said Harrell, sick and tired of the Broncos’ 13-game losing streak against Kansas City. “We can’t wait to beat the Chiefs until it’s too late for me. Get it?”
Herrell has seen some stuff in his day. Well, 36,526 days to be exact.
She was born in August 1922, when Warren G. Harding resided in the White House and Al Jolson sang “Toot Toot Tootsie (Goodbye)” on the radio in the living rooms of fine homes across America.
“I was scared I was 100,” Harrell told me. “But you know what? It’s wonderful.”
I don’t know if Miss Vicki is the oldest bronchomaniac, but I’m sure our local football team has never been blessed with a more feisty fan.
“Is it okay if I call you Kiz?” Herrell asked, less than five minutes after we were introduced to one of four birthday parties she enjoyed last week. “Well, Kiz…did I tell you that I was engaged to three men at the same time?”
Say what, Miss Vicki?
In four decades of chronicling the adventures of Denver’s favorite sports team, I’ve seen Broncomans come forward in all sorts of ways, from offering to buy me a delicious steak dinner to confessing to a strong desire to punch me in the face.
Miss Vicki, however, was the first to open up a conversation about football by bringing up her love life. In 1947, at age 25, she was a flight attendant for Trans World Airlines, which allowed her to meet lovely people from coast to coast.
Shortly after World War II, as a twin-engine DC-3 touched down for a soft landing in Phoenix, Herrell furiously rummaged through her purse. Colleagues working on the flight noticed his distress and asked what was wrong.
“I can’t find my Phoenix ring,” Herrell told them.
She was a jet set heartbreaker long before the Kardashians.
“I was engaged to men in New York, Kansas City and Phoenix,” Herrell confessed, laughing at the memory. “They never found out. And I didn’t marry any of them.
Miss Vicki officially celebrated a century of walking this earth on Thursday. It’s a remarkable achievement in the battle against Father Time, but not nearly as amazing as all the places she’s been, from Rome to the Playboy mansion in Tokyo, bumping into everyone from Frank Sinatra to Peyton Manning along the way.
Want the definition of a life well lived?
Herrell chased Howard Hughes out of a plane he owned. “On a flight from Los Angeles, this guy who looked like a tramp, unshaven and wearing dirty tennis shoes, walked on the plane at the last minute and started barking orders at me,” m said Miss Vicki, lowering her voice to reveal a glimpse of the eccentricity of one of the most reclusive rich dudes in US history. “I said to him, ‘Yes, sir, Mr. Hughes.’ As soon as I said his name, Hughes looked like he was shot and immediately left the plane.
Being dropped by Mr Hughes, however, was not as disappointing as being heartbroken by Boston Patriots star Gino Cappelletti, who threw a basket that proved to be the difference in a 20-17 loss. of his beloved Broncos in the first game at the new Mile High Stadium in 1968.
She once enjoyed cocktails with Johnny Cash because June Carter gave her the evil eye. “I guess I was flirting with him a lot,” Harrell said.
Now throwing drinks with the Man in Black was fun, but it paled in comparison to the hoot of seeing other Broncomaniacs dancing atop the Oakland team bus, while showering the Raiders with beer after Randy Gradishar and the Orange Crush beat their hated rival 20-17 on New Year’s Day 1978 to win a long-suffering Denver franchise its maiden Super Bowl trip.
“Ken Stabler and John Madden were good sportsmen for all those crazy fans,” Harrell recalled. “They knew it was the Broncos’ first time, so they didn’t seem to care.”
During his freshman year in Denver, Wilson seems determined to get the Broncos back to the Super Bowl as soon as possible. Still, there’s no way the new quarterback could match Miss Vicki’s urgency to attend another home game of a team she long cheered on as a season ticket holder with her late husband.
“Are you excited for Russell Wilson to be the quarterback?” says Herrell, who adores John Elway and Manning. “I shouldn’t tell you this, but I’m not excited. He has to prove it to me first.
Miss Vicki is the reason the Broncos are a civic treasure. It demands excellence. Accept nothing less. And takes great pride, as well as ownership, in every victory.
Earlier this summer, as part of his centennial celebration, Herrell landed a private audience with Manning ahead of one of his speaking engagements. By all accounts, PFM was blown away by Herrell with the strength of any sack he had ever endured from Jason Taylor or Khalil Mack.
Just after telling Manning that she was once engaged to three men at the same time, Miss Vicki asked the Hall of Fame quarterback point-blank: “Are you going to buy a piece of the Broncos?”
He replied, “All these cases have not yet been decided.”
Could Manning still get involved with Waltons’ new wealthy and crazed ownership team?
Stay tuned.
But may I offer a friendly warning to Adam Schefter and NFL insiders? If Manning were to ever buy a piece of the Broncos, don’t be surprised if a 100-year-old Broncomane breaks the news.
Miss Vicki is a charmer with impeccable sources.

Two high-rise apartment towers in India were leveled to the ground in a controlled demolition on Sunday after the country’s top court declared them illegal for violating building norms, officials said. They became India’s tallest structures to be razed to the ground.
More than 1,500 families vacated their apartments in the area more than seven hours before the nearly 100-meter- (328 feet) tall towers crumbled inward by the impact of the implosion. The 32-story and 29-story towers, which were being constructed by a private builder in Noida city on the outskirts of New Delhi, were yet to be occupied.
“Largely, everything is OK,” said Ritu Maheshwari, a government administrator, after the demolition. “It happened as expected.”
The demolition was completed within seconds but followed a 12-year court battle between residents in the area and the builder, Supertech Limited.
The razing of the towers occurred after the Supreme Court found that the builder, in collusion with government officials, violated laws prohibiting construction within a certain distance from nearby buildings.
The Supreme Court said the construction of the two towers also was illegal because the builder did not receive mandatory consent from other apartment owners in the area.
Ahead of the demolition, the towers were surrounded by scaffolding, fences, barricades and special covers to block dust from the approximately 88,000 tons of debris that would be generated, officials said. Disposing all of the debris will take three months.

Residents are expected to return to the area Sunday evening after experts examine the impact of the demolition. Some apartments are located just nine meters (29.5 feet) away from the blast site, and the required safe distance is 20 meters (65.6 feet).
“It would come in the top five demolitions in the world in terms of height, volume, steel and tightness of the structure,” said Utkarsh Mehta, a partner with Edifice Engineering, which brought down the building in collaboration with Jet Demolition from South Africa at a cost of 180 million rupees ($2.25 million).
Mehta said 3,500 kilograms (7,716 pounds) of explosives were drilled into thousands of holes in the columns and shears of the towers. Experts used the waterfall method of demolition in which one story collapses on the next.
Joe Brikmann, director of Jet Demolition, said earlier he was confident no harm would come to the buildings adjacent to the demolished towers.
“The buildings in this area are in a high seismic zone (zone IV) and built to experience earthquakes which are much stronger than vibrations from an implosion. We are confident that the implosion of the towers will not cause any damage to properties,” The Times of India newspaper quoted him as saying.
The tallest building demolished in the world with explosives to date was 165 meters tall (541 feet), and occurred in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on Nov. 27, 2020, according to Guinness World Records. | https://www.sunnewsonline.com/india-2-high-rise-towers-demolished-for-violating-laws/ | 2022-08-28T13:37:50Z | https://www.sunnewsonline.com/india-2-high-rise-towers-demolished-for-violating-laws/ | false | 25 |
The survey, which will have a significant influence on Oak Bay’s Infill Housing Strategy, has a poorly designed format and a biased question. It will be very difficult to draw meaningful, objective conclusions from the data.
Question 2 asks about the suitability of duplexes, triplexes, townhouses, detached suites (laneway houses, garden suites, cottages, carriage houses), heritage conversions, and large lot subdivisions in your neighbourhood. Then, in Question 5, you are asked what proposed zoning changes (reduce front and side yard setbacks, allow greater floor area ratios, and greater lot coverage) could be associated with building these housing types.
Clearly, Question 5 should be placed before Questions 2, 3, and 4 in the survey. Then the reader would know the possible relaxed zoning bylaws the housing types could be built in your neighbourhood, before they answer Questions 2, 3, and 4. The present survey ordering is a serious design flaw.
Question 7 asks whether to speed up rezoning applications. Option one is the current application process. In many cases, it is “a rezoning process with review by advisory committees and a public hearing before a bylaw can be considered by council.” According to the authors, this “could take 6-12 months.”
Option two is a development-like process with advisory committee review and council considerations but no hearing and no bylaw. It “would take 3-6 months” in one scenario and “would shorten to 2-4 months” in another.
The word could suggests timing uncertainty in an Option one rezoning application, acceptance or rejection. However, the word would in Option two implies timing certainty about a zoning application, acceptance or rejection. Even though the design guidelines associated with Option two have not yet been written. A clear example of a question biased toward choosing Option 2.

Cade York’s pregame 70-yarder shows his range
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Cleveland BrownsLiveTodayTomorrowvs--|
There was a lot left lacking during last night’s game between the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears. The offense looked disjointed with QB Jacoby Brissett finally behind center and the first-team defense didn’t make a lot of plays early in the game.
Injuries to S Grant Delpit and OL Wyatt Teller were hopefully minor but DE Chris Odom seemed to have a significant one as he fights to try to make the team’s initial 53-man roster after returning to the league.
Even kicker Cade York missed a 58-yard field goal during the game, his first of the preseason. York’s legend continued to grow despite that miss. He easily hit a 57-yard field goal and followed it up with one from 46 yards out.
His most impressive kick came in warmups. With the wind slightly in his face and using his snapper and holder, not a kicking tee, York hit this 70-yard kick with room to spare:
Yeah York just hit from the opposite 40 with a holder and it went to the fence. 70 yarder! pic.twitter.com/VBJjHVtnRm

Here is another angle from the press box:
Hey @Browns fans, you excited for your kicker yet? Cade York from 70!!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/u7jKjOb7ET

While it is unlikely that the Browns will ever be in a position to attempt something this long, it is impressive to see York has the leg and accuracy to make it. The NFL record for the longest-made field goal is 66 yards which York is more than capable of connecting.
Now, as many fans have said in response to the above video, York has to prove he can make them consistently. | https://sports.yahoo.com/cade-york-pregame-70-yarder-121107917.html?src=rss | 2022-08-28T13:40:53Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/cade-york-pregame-70-yarder-121107917.html?src=rss | false | 2 |
