A popular restaurant chain is looking to expand in San Jose.
In n Out Burger wants to buy two parcels near Santana Row and Westfield Valley Fair to open another location in the South Bay.
According to The Mercury News, the new location would be at the corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Hanson Avenue and could accommodate as many as 124 people inside.
A preliminary plan has been submitted to the city. | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/south-bay/in-n-out-san-jose-santana-row/2988450/ | 2022-08-29T00:07:38Z | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/south-bay/in-n-out-san-jose-santana-row/2988450/ | false | null |
A B.C. judge shared harsh criticisms of the Save Old Growth environmental activist group in a recent sentencing decision for one of its protesters.
Ian Wiltow Schortinghuis, 30, pleaded guilty to three counts of mischief and two counts of breach of undertaking for his involvement in three Save Old Growth road blockades in Metro Vancouver between April 27 and June 13.
The group has been occupying major roads and highways throughout the province since January in an effort to pressure the government into ending the logging of all old growth forests.
In her June 30 decision, Judge Laura Bakan found Schortinghuis’ early guilty plea and “genuine” show of remorse were mitigating factors in determining his sentence. Bakan also noted that Schortinghuis has attention deficit disorder and learning disabilities and has been without steady work since the start of the pandemic, making him “more vulnerable to being somewhat ‘seduced’ into these sort of activities.”
Bakan said in her view organizations like Save Old Growth entice volunteers to their cause and then use them as “sacrificial lambs” or “cannon fodder.”
“I find this conduct reprehensible as they hide behind from the persons who have come before me, good people and people such as Mr. Schortinghuis who says that he was given a sense of purpose and belonging by these groups,” Bakan said.
She also noted that once charged, protesters are often left without professional lawyers to argue their cases.
“I think this is the first time or one of the first times there has been a lawyer rather than a law student, and this puts these individuals at a disadvantage, as there is, in my case, always very experienced and good Crown counsel who specialize in these areas.”
Crown sought a one-day jail sentence and a criminal record to reflect the time Schortinghuis spent in pretrial custody, along with 18 months of probation.
Bakan decided, however, to give Schortinghuis the opportunity to clear his record. She sentenced him to 24 months probation and 125 hours of community service after which, if he has followed his conditions, Schortinghuis will walk away with a clean record.
Schortinghuis is banned from blocking or impeding traffic in B.C. during that period.

Like science, mythology has stories about the origin of species. The difference between the
two is that in science, species evolve slowly over millions of years, but in mythology, they develop instantly. In Greek mythology, there is a story about the origin of frogs. Latona, also called Leto, the Goddess of night and darkness, was once cursed by Hera, wife of the mighty Greek God Zeus. Latona was banished by Hera to earth, with a warning that none should help her. As a result, Latona was shunned by everyone on earth and she wandered from place to place, carrying her twin infants.
One day, Latona reached a place called Lycia, which was a green and pleasant valley. She was thirsty. When she saw a pond of cool and clear water, she set her twins down on the grass and went to the edge of the water. By the side of the pond, grew some willow trees. These were being cut by some peasants. Afraid of being rebuffed by them, Latona humbly approached the water and gratefully kneeled to drink. At this moment, the peasants saw her. Loudly and rudely, they told her to be gone and forbade her from drinking the water. Latona looked up and spoke to the peasants in a soft and sad voice.
“Nature has given sunshine, air and water free to everyone, so why do you refuse to let me drink water? I come here to take my share in the common blessings of nature. Yet, I ask it of you as a favour. I will not wash my limbs in the water; only drink a little for I am almost dying of thirst. If you do not pity me, at least pity these infants who are stretching their arms out for water.”
The words of Latona were gentle and pitiable, but the rude peasants were unmoved. They jeered at her and threatened her with violence if she did not leave the place. They even waded into the placid pond and churned up the mud with their feet, making the water unfit for drinking. Latona became so angry that she forgot her thirst. She no longer bowed before the peasants. She raised her hands to the heavens and said, “May they never quit that pool, but pass their lives there.”
As she spoke, the peasants jumping about in the pool started changing shape. Their bodies started getting shorter and fatter. Their hands and feet became webbed and their skin turned green, yellow and brown. Their necks disappeared. When they tried to speak, only croaks came out of their throats. To this day, ponds are inhabited by frogs who croak incessantly, especially during the night. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/spirituality/2022/aug/28/how-the-frogs-were-created-greek-mythology-stories-about-origin-of-species-2491790.html | 2022-08-29T00:16:43Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/spirituality/2022/aug/28/how-the-frogs-were-created-greek-mythology-stories-about-origin-of-species-2491790.html | true | 1 |
It might be fashionable to upcycle these days, but this is something fundamental you learn when you start out as a writer. Rather when you take to writing with unparalleled passion. If you are born to revel in compulsive wordsmithery, nothing in your life will ever go to waste. That is a selfish admission. From surreal moments experienced in solitude to rabid fights with the nosy neighbour to being singled out for demonisation during school and college days to a leaf pulled out from your atlas of sojourns to eavesdropped conversations to study of pickled faces that speak volumes in every fine line.
Every little feeling, flicker of emotion, cloudy thought, running image, reaction to situations, body language mapping, and prattle… will be tucked away carefully in your neurons for easy replay later, at some point in your life. Choose the moment. You can dip easily into this super-sanctuary, memory atlas, anytime, anywhere, at free will. It is an irreplaceable treasure that never lets you down, even in the face of
a fashionable writer’s block.
As writers, we perceive aplenty. Rarely reacting, but always noticing, absorbing, reading in between lines, soaking up sights and sounds, nuances, tonal inflections. Forget the wisdom-laden pearls of how every experience is enriching (the positivity talk throttles me), you can tease emotions out of carefully chronicled memories, dating decades back.
I remember my visual ode to the jewelled blue of the Arabian Sea when I landed at Kavaratti for the first time. It knocked the breath out of my lungs. The first taste of the Alphonso (overrated, due to first seasonal-starter tag), as I had grown up on a diet of Dasheri (the real king that arrives royally late). My clobbered first impression of Mumbai as the aircraft circled and cruised past the slums to land at the swish airport of the city of dreams. Or my toady eyes when I sat through my first Tamil thriller. There is never any dearth of emotional twangs to borrow from, whether I am penning my epic journal or celebrating travel memories, if lonely.
Writing then becomes the art of being able to hold the interest of readers, a la textual busking. Memories then perform the gueridon service at the desk as you hammer away on your laptop, greedily and garrulous. Conversations and experiences then flow in to romance the words, pirouette through magical reruns and land delicately in intricate shapes and digital scrawls with great finesse.
Of course, there is a world of truth in Mark Twain’s words: “When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.” Are you a part of the imaginative gambit?

Researchers have found a link between children and teenagers who take up a musical instrument and improved thinking skills in old age.
People with more experience of playing a musical instrument showed greater lifetime improvement on a test of cognitive ability than those with less or no experience, a new paper from the University of Edinburgh has said.
Researchers found that this was the case even when accounting for their socio-economic status, their years of education, childhood cognitive ability, and their health in older age.
Music has so much to offer as a fun, social activity – it is exciting to find that learning to play a musical instrument may also contribute to healthy cognitive ageingKatie Overy, University of Edinburgh
But emeritus Professor Ian Deary, formerly director of the Centre for Cognitive Ageing and Cognitive Epidemiology at the university, said: “We have to emphasise that the association we found between instrument-playing and lifetime cognitive improvement was small, and that we cannot prove that the former caused the latter.
“However, as we and others search for the many small effects that might contribute toward some people’s brains ageing more healthily than others, these results are worth following up.”
Out of the 366 study participants, 117 reported some experience of playing a musical instrument – mostly during childhood and adolescence.
The most commonly played instrument was the piano, but many other instruments were played, such as accordion, bagpipes, guitar and violin.
Study participants were part of the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 – a group of individuals from Edinburgh and the Lothians, born in 1936, who took part in the Scottish Mental Survey of 1947.
The individuals have been tested on a number of physical and mental functions as they grow older, including retaking the standardised cognitive ability test each took as an 11-year-old, which included questions requiring verbal reasoning, spatial awareness, and numerical analysis.
These results add to the evidence that activities that are mentally challenging, such as learning to play a musical instrument, might be associated with better thinking skillsJudith Okely, Napier University
Cohort members who had retaken the test aged 70 were questioned about their lifetime musical experiences, by researchers keen to find out if musical experience is related to healthy ageing.
In the study, the team used statistical models to look for associations between a person’s experience of playing a musical instrument and changes in their thinking skills between the ages of 11 and 70.
The university said the findings provided some of the first evidence that playing an instrument is associated with small, but detectable, cognitive benefits over a lifetime.
Judith Okely, now a lecturer in psychology at Napier University, said: “These results add to the evidence that activities that are mentally challenging, such as learning to play a musical instrument, might be associated with better thinking skills.”
And Katie Overy, senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh’s Reid School of Music, said: “Music has so much to offer as a fun, social activity – it is exciting to find that learning to play a musical instrument may also contribute to healthy cognitive ageing.”
The study was funded by Age UK and the Economic and Social Research Council and was published in the journal Psychological Science. | https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/playing-music-in-childhood-linked-to-sharper-mind-in-later-life-study-41943652.html | 2022-08-29T00:22:59Z | https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/playing-music-in-childhood-linked-to-sharper-mind-in-later-life-study-41943652.html | true | 14 |
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's new autobiography has just been published. Titled My Grandfather's Son, it covers his life up to his swearing in as a member of the high court.
In the book, Justice Thomas speaks out in vivid — and sometimes seething — detail about the events surrounding his nomination battle, the charges of sexual harrassment against him by Anita Hill and his memories of growing up poor in rural Georgia.

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

A player on the Duke University women's volleyball team says Brigham Young University officials in Utah did not act quick enough to stop the racist harassment she and other Black players were subject to during a Friday game.
Rachel Richardson, a sophomore outside hitter for Duke, tweeted a statement Sunday explaining she was not the only player who was the target of the racist slurs and heckling.
"Friday night in our match against Brigham Young University my fellow African American teammates and I were targeted and racially heckled throughout the entirety of the match," Richardson tweeted. "The slurs and comments grew into threats which caused us to feel unsafe."
Richardson's godmother, Lesa Pamplin, initially tweeted about the incident Saturday, accusing the school of allowing the behavior without intervening.
"My Goddaughter is the only black starter for Dukes volleyball team. While playing yesterday, she was called a n***er every time she served," Pamplin's tweet read.
The incident led to an apology from BYU, the school banning a fan and Duke changing the locations of the team's next game. It also caught the attention of NBA superstar LeBron James, who tweeted: "We are a brotherhood and sisterhood! We have her back. This is not sports."
Richardson said both BYU officials and coaching staff were made aware of the incident during the game, "but failed to take the necessary steps to stop the unacceptable behavior and create a safe environment." Even after the incident was brought to their attention, Richardson said BYU officials "failed to adequately address the situation."
The harassment resulted in Richardson and her teammates struggling to get through the game, as opposed to just being able to focus on their play, she tweeted.
"No athlete, regardless of their race should ever be subject to such hostile conditions," Richardson's tweet read.
Richardson also addressed comments that she or her teammates should have refused to continue playing.
"Although the heckling eventually took a mental toll on me, I refused to allow it to stop me from doing what I love to do and what I came to BYU to do; which was to play volleyball," her tweet read. "I refused to allow those racist bigots to feel any degree of satisfaction from thinking that their comments had 'gotten to me'. So, I pushed through and finished the game."
Despite the incident, Richardson said she does not believe this was a reflection of BYU athletes. She complimented their players on a great game and showing "nothing but respect and good sportsmanship on and off the court."
BYU Athletics did not confirm the specifics of the incident but announced they had banned a fan from all athletic venues and tweeted an apology.
"When a student-athlete or a fan comes to a BYU sporting event, we expect that they will be treated with love and respect and feel safe on our campus. It is for this reason BYU has banned a fan who was identified by Duke during last night's volleyball match from all BYU athletic venues," according to the statement.
"We wholeheartedly apologize to Duke University and especially its student-athletes competing last night for what they experienced," the statement read.
The statement said the person in question was not a BYU student, despite sitting in the student section.
The incident led Duke University to announce they were moving the location of their Saturday game and their priority was the safety of student-athletes.
"They should always have the opportunity to compete in an inclusive, anti-racist environment which promotes equality and fair play," Duke's statement read.

Ray dominant as Mariners blank Guardians
Robbie Ray tossed seven dominant innings, Dylan Moore and Ty France homered and the Seattle Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-0 on Sunday.
The Canadian Press
SEATTLE (AP) — While Robbie Ray was again dominant against a potential playoff foe, there was a more important development for the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
Perhaps All-Star Ty France is on the verge of breaking out of his extended slump and rediscovering the swing that made him one of best hitters in the American League during the first half of the season.
“We need Ty France's bat back and it showed up today,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “I’m really excited about that.”
Ray tossed seven dominant innings, Dylan Moore and France homered and the Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-0 on Sunday.
Seattle took three of four from Cleveland in a potential postseason preview. All four games were tight and well-pitched, and the Mariners squeezed out just enough offense to earn a series victory.
The teams will run it back with a three-game set in Cleveland next weekend and perhaps again in October.
“We knew their games were going to be tight. We needed to play good defense and pitch well and we exceeded my expectations pitching-wise,” Servais said. “That’s about as good as you can pitch.”
The Guardians' lead in the AL Central was trimmed to two games over Minnesota, which completed a sweep at home against San Francisco. Cleveland manager Terry Francona was complimentary of Ray's performance and Seattle's entire staff.
“Their entire staff is impressive. I mean, you've got your work cut out for you," Francona said. "That doesn't mean you can't win, but you got your work cut out for you.”
Ray, last year’s AL Cy Young Award winner with Toronto, continued his August surge by winning his third straight start.
But Seattle's offense has been meager of late in part due to France's slump. He started the day hitting just .122 in August and was in an 0-for-21 slump when he singled in the fifth off Cleveland starter Aaron Civale.
France came back two innings later and hit the second pitch of the seventh inning out to left field for his 15th homer of the season.
“After the first hit, definitely felt like a weight was lifted off,” France said. “This whole series I felt like I was seeing the ball well, put a couple of good swings on balls and then today it was nice.”
Ray (11-8) scattered three hits, struck out seven and walked none. For the month, he allowed six earned runs and struck out 41 over 33 innings. He threw at least six innings in all five starts and permitted two earned runs or less in each one.
The left-hander escaped the one jam he faced. Andrés Giménez doubled and Austin Hedges followed with a bloop single to open the sixth. With runners at the corners and no outs, Ray got a fly ball from Myles Straw that wasn’t deep enough for Giménez to score, an infield popup from Steven Kwan and then struck out Amed Rosario for the third time to end the threat.
Cleveland was blanked for the eighth time this season, while Seattle posted its seventh shutout. During the Mariners' six-game homestand, their starting pitchers went 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA. They had four walks and 39 strikeouts in 39 innings.
“Putting up zeros is the name of the game," Ray said. "I feel like we've been doing a really good job of feeding off each other's energy in our bullpen sessions and in the game. We've got a really good group.”
Moore broke the game open for Seattle with a three-run homer with two outs in the sixth off Civale. France hit a solo shot on the second pitch of the seventh.
Seattle also got a break just before Moore’s long ball. Moore fouled a 2-2 pitch wide of first base where Owen Miller made a leaping attempt into the protective netting to make the catch. But he bobbled the ball against the net and it was ruled out of play.
On the next pitch, Civale (2-6) left a curveball in the middle of the plate and Moore’s towering drive carried into the left field stands for his first homer since July 7.
Civale matched Ray into the sixth but has gone nine starts since his last victory back in late May. Civale allowed four hits and struck out five.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mariners: SS J.P. Crawford was out of the lineup with an injury to his left pectoral muscle. Servais said after the game that Crawford had an MRI, but nothing major was discovered and he is day-to-day. Crawford had appeared in 115 of 127 games entering Sunday.
UP NEXT
Guardians: Cleveland returns home and, after a day off, will open a series against Baltimore. RHP Cal Quantrill (10-5, 3.59 ERA) starts the opener. Quantrill has won six straight decisions and threw seven shutout innings in his last start against San Diego.
Mariners: After an off day, rookie RHP George Kirby (5-3, 3.32) will make his 19th start Tuesday against Detroit. In August, Kirby is 3-0 with a 2.59 ERA and 29 strikeouts over four starts. He allowed one run over seven innings in his last outing.

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly irked with Manchester United after having a 25% pay cut applied to his weekly wage after the club failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League last season. United finished sixth in the Premier League, therefore qualifying for the UEFA Europa League.
The Sunday Times has claimed that Ronaldo, 37, was left annoyed when United missed out on the pinnacle European completion for the 2022/23 season which has reportedly seen his wages drop from £480,000 per week to £360,000 per week.
The clause was written into the Portuguese forward’s contract last summer on his return from Juventus, which cost United £12.86 million, which is the same clause entered into his teammates contracts at the time they signed or renewed their contracts.
Ronaldo ended the 2021/22 season as United top scorer with 24 goals in all competitions so he would be right to be annoyed with the reduction in wages. However, if that was a problem for him on his return to the Old Trafford club, he should have asked for it to be removed.
Since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, United have missed out on Champions League qualification four times, missing all European competition one of those times, reaching the Europa League three times (including last season). There was grounds for it happening again at United.
Ronaldo has reportedly been pushing for an exit of the Old Trafford club for a second time, finding suitors to be difficult despite his agent, Jorge Mendes pushing to find a solution. It almost seems like the player is impervious to blame as football is a team game, not an individual sport.
Ronaldo signed a two-year contract when he returned to United, with the option of a third year to be added. He will have known that it was not the same club that he left in the summer of 2009. He would not have done is due diligence if he dd not realise that.
The 37-year-old made made four appearances this season for United, starting just one match – the 4-0 defeat to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on the 13 August. Ronaldo played just 37 minutes in the 2-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion on the 7 August.
He was dropped to the bench against Liverpool, with United earning a 2-1 victory and the forward played just four minutes. Despite an injury to Anthony Martial ahead of the 1-0 victory over Southampton, Ronaldo again came off the bench playing just 22 minutes.

The game of basketball has a global impact, and NBA player Mohamed Bamba is using the sport as a source of empowerment for youth in Africa. The Harlem native helped create basketball courts at SOS Village Abobo-Gare in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
The project was led through the Orlando Magic center’s philanthropic imprint, the Mo Bamba Foundation. Construction for the state-of-the-art basketball courts started in April. The sports facility will serve over 200 children daily. The next phase of development will include the addition of stadium lighting and bleachers. Those who oversee the facility—including President of the Fédération Ivoirienne de Basket-Ball Mahama Coulibaly—will host basketball clinics and other recreational activities for youth that Bamba will virtually join each week.
For Bamba, the creation of the athletic facility was personal. It dually serves as an ode to his love for basketball and an homage to his West African ancestry.
“This is an extremely personal project and I’m proud of how it’s all reflected in the courts,” he shared in a statement. “Everything down to the smallest of details represents an important part of my life, from my African roots to my Harlem upbringing, to honoring my family who made this all possible. Mahama helped us identify some incredible local artists and architects who perfectly captured all the intersections of my heritage, and I’m so appreciative for all their hard work.”
This isn’t the first time Bamba has led a philanthropic project in Côte d’Ivoire. He led a COVID-19 relief effort and has also donated over 100 pairs of sneakers to the country’s basketball development program.
Several NBA stars are using their platform and resources to drive change in Africa. Earlier this year, Phoenix Suns center Bismack Biyombo announced he would donate his entire 2022 NBA salary to building a hospital in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Sweden Democrats party have surged in opinion polls ahead of elections due next month. Once barred from politics due to their neo-Nazi ties, the Sweden Democrats are currently Sweden’s third-largest party, bolstered by a rising anti-immigrant sentiment in the public. (Andres Kudacki / AP) Anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats party has said it wants to spend $2.3 billion on strengthening the justice system and withdraw grants for immigrants who do not adopt the country’s culture.
The party’s leader, Jimmie Akesson, called it «a classic assimilation policy» and said he envisions the construction of special «Sweden centres» in marginalised areas.
«There you can let the Swedish way of being and Swedish heritage become very accessible in a part of the country where it is currently very inaccessible,» he said.
Akesson was speaking to the media while visiting the party’s stronghold of Ange municipality.
Once barred from politics due to their neo-Nazi ties, the Sweden Democrats are currently Sweden’s third-largest party.
They have surged in opinion polls ahead of elections due next month.

— Ashok Swain (@ashoswai) August 23, 2022 Growing support for anti-immigration policies
The party has the second-largest share of voter support ahead of the September 11 vote, trailing the ruling Social Democrats, which have dominated Swedish post-war politics.
The Sweden Democrats polled between 20 and 23 percent in three different surveys published this week, overtaking the conservative Moderate party in the close race.
Candidates have been vying for support among voters who say that crime is a top concern, followed by immigration and segregation issues.
Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats enjoyed a lead with around 30 percent of voter support, according to the polls.
Her party, long defenders of the country's cherished welfare state, has in recent years curbed immigration and campaigned on tackling gang-related crime.
The conservative Moderate party, traditionally the second most popular party, came in third with between 16 and 18 percent of voter support.
Moderates leader Ulf Kristersson is challenging Andersson for the post of prime minister.
Sweden has struggled to contain deadly shootings and bombings that have soared in recent years, many linked to gang rivalries or organised criminals battling over the drug market.
The far-right Sweden Democrats have been shunned since entering parliament in 2010 but with violence and crime dominating voters' concerns, the right-wing bloc, made up of the Moderates, Christian Democrats and Liberals, is now ready to cooperate with the Sweden Democrats to wrest power from the Social Democrats.
The Social Democrats are meanwhile relying on support from the Left, Centre and Green parties, with the two blocs neck-and-neck in the polls.

In an interview with Swedish Radio, Akesson refused to say whether he would request to be prime minister if his party ends up at the top of the polls.
«I don’t think I should have to sit and draw any red lines about what the government should look like at the moment. We’ll have to decide that after the elections. If I had my way, I’d be in a majority government, but I don’t get to do that on my own,» he said.
In this year’s election campaigning, all Swedish political parties pledged tougher stances on immigration, crime and integration, which are the core issues for the Sweden Democrats.

Halsey closed out the west-side main stage at this year’s Reading Festival last night (August 28), delivering a stack of hits from across their four-album catalogue, declaring the UK to be their favourite region to perform in, and eliciting a rather unique chant from the packed-out crowd.
The show was particularly notable for riding on the heels of Halsey’s turbulent appearance at Leeds Festival on Friday (August 27); during that set, they were forced to stop performing midway through their rendition of ‘Honey’ due to illness. They later revealed that they’d performed the set with “terrible food poisoning” and “felt like [they were] on Jupiter the whole time”.
Halsey was in tip-top shape for their appearance at Reading, though. Early in the set, they addressed Friday’s whirlwind and assured fans that they’d be in for something special. “Man, I was fucked up, and not in a good way,” they said of their Leeds situation. “So that means I’m coming here tonight with all of the energy that I had originally planned for two nights – I’m bringing it for one.
“I’ve got all this pent-up energy in my body. Now you guys in the first 50 rows or so, you did fucking absolutely amazing just then. But you guys all the way to the back, I can fucking see you too, it’s bright as hell up here! Now this is a long show, and I promise you it’s not going to be what you’re expecting, so I need to test you right now and see what kind of energy you have.”
Later in their set, Halsey gave an impassioned speech about the unique dedication of UK crowds, defiantly stating: “I think every artist, whether they’ll admit it or not, their favourite place to play is in the UK. And I’m gonna get in trouble for saying that right now – there’s gonna be a lot of other people who are really pissed off that I just said that – but it’s true.”
They went on to explain that while crowds in other regions tend to “act like they’re going to see a movie or something”, those in the UK are “just so unbelievably immersed in the idea that going to a show is a fucking action” because “the show is not just me, the show is that person to the left of you or to the right of you, or that fucking dickhead 10 feet behind you, or that really cute girl 20 feet to the right of you.
“And that’s what makes it so fun, right? It’s because I get on stage and I know that a show here is 50 per cent me and 50 per cent you.”
Halsey was also quick to point out that their Reading set came just one day after the first anniversary of last year’s ‘If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power’ album, and how “since the last time I’ve been here, a lot has changed” – particularly in regards to the fact that they now have a child.
“I think a lot of people thought that… I don’t know, maybe after I had my kid, I was gonna get really boring or something,” they continued. “Nah, I feel like it was the opposite. I feel like having a kid made me just not really take myself so seriously anymore, and not give so much of a fuck, you know?”
Immediately, punters in the crowd began to cheer “MILF” at Halsey, to which they responded: I can’t wait for that BBC headline tomorrow – ‘Halsey graces Reading stage to chants of ‘MILF’ from the audience’.”
Finally, in closing their set out with ‘Power’ favourite ‘I Am Not A Woman, I’m A God’, Halsey hopped off the stage to sing in tandem with their audience. Have a look at some more fan-shot footage from that moment, as well as some other highlights – including the soon-to-be iconic “MILF” speech – below:

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Community leaders in New Orleans East are demanding action from elected officials regarding the area’s blighted properties.
The group gathered outside of a blighted property on Plaza Drive Sunday, urging city leaders to do something about the property, as well as dozens of other properties in New Orleans East.
In response to a reporter’s question, one said speaker said, “Do we feel ignored? Does this answer your question?”
The property owner, 6700 Plaza Drive LLC, says they have filed a lawsuit against their insurers, Lloyd’s, seeking compensation for the damage the building sustained in hurricanes Zeta and Ida.
The property owner also said their plan is to renovate the building once litigation is resolved, but organizers of Sunday’s press conference are questioning their intentions.
“Had we not hosted this conference, would the public be informed? That’s the question,” Flight Blight NOLA activist Anthony Jackson, Jr. said. “But if we really galvanize together and start chopping down that tree, metaphorically, [we] pretty much could do some damage in New Orleans East.”
The Plaza Drive property isn’t the only area coming under fire. About two miles away, two vacant lots on Perelli Drive are disturbing neighbors’ peace.
“We have rats as big as opossums and opossums as big as pit bulls,” Robert Sevalia, who lives on Perelli Drive, said. “It’s a quality of life [issue]. It’s a public safety hazard.”
Community leaders are optimistic they can soon be proud to call New Orleans East home, citing recent beautification projects.
“Things are starting to look up for us, so this has got to go,” Dawn Hebert, president of the East New Orleans Neighborhood Advisory Commission, said. “So, we need to continue that process, and with this gone, developers will basically want to come to our community.”
We reached out to Lloyd’s for comment and are waiting to hear back.
District E Councilman Oliver Thomas tells WGNO he will continue to be aggressive in decreasing blighted properties in his district. | https://wgno.com/news/community-leaders-come-together-to-fight-blight-in-new-orleans-east/ | 2022-08-29T01:37:06Z | https://wgno.com/news/community-leaders-come-together-to-fight-blight-in-new-orleans-east/ | true | 1 |
Incidents such as the gas leakage in chemical and other factories in Andhra Pradesh’s Vizag in May 2020 and Anakapalli district on August 2, 2022, ferroalloy plant in Vizag in September 2021, and the fire accident in unregistered manufacturing electronics units in Mundka, New Delhi, have often occurred.
Given the regular occurrence of industrial accidents, workplace safety in India, despite the so-called “strict and rigid” labour regulations, has become a matter of grave concern. It is in this context we need to understand the adoption of “a safe and healthy working environment” as part of the fundamental and core labour rights by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in June 2022.
The ILO in 1998 adopted the historic declaration: Fundamental Principles of Rights and Work (FPRW). The FPRW recognised four principles of labour standards: freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining; the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour; the effective abolition of child labour; and the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. For each of them, two ILO conventions were identified as core conventions.
It was expected that the member countries by virtue of their membership of ILO and their commitment to its Constitution, it is their obligation, irrespective of their ratification record of the said ILO conventions, to “respect, to promote and to realise, in good faith” the above-mentioned four sets of principles.
Following the FPRW, ILO and the core conventions enjoyed global legitimacy. India has ratified only six of the eight core conventions. It has not ratified C.87
and C.98 (freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining) for political reasons.
Even a casual perusal and analysis of the FPRW, one can see that the right to work-life safety, minimum wages, social security and others are among the core principles. Differences in economic growth between countries were a possible reason to refrain from adding them. However, the cruel reality of ever-rising workplace accidents globally cannot be disregarded for long.
The ILO estimates that some 2.3 million workers around the world experience work-related accidents or diseases every year, and this translates to over 6,000 deaths every single day. Worldwide, 340 million occupational accidents and 160 million workers suffer from work-related illnesses annually. The Covid-19 pandemic experience across countries intensified the concern over the enormity of all kinds of hazards.
Eventually, the ILO on June 10, 2022 adopted the historic declaration to include “a safe and healthy working environment” as the fifth principle of FPRW. Two ILO conventions relating to this are: Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Convention, 1981 (No. 155) and Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187).
According to ILO standards, there must be in place regulations to govern and ensure OSH in all branches of economic activity and they should cover all workers, including informal economy and MSMEs.
An adequately equipped, well-empowered (as per labour inspection convention of ILO) enforcement system must exist. The government must maintain a system of annual statistics on occupational accidents and diseases and publicise both statistics and the measures to tackle the exigencies arising out of the former. It is against these we must evaluate the institutional framework regarding OSH in India.
According to the Directive Principles of State Policy, among others, the State “shall make provision for securing just and humane conditions of work”.
We have labour laws providing for OSH in factories, mines, plantations, construction and other instruments in railways etc. It is well-known that OSH regulations do not mostly cover the informal sector. In the neo-liberal economy, the effectiveness of laws is questionable even in the organised sector.
On the other hand, the regional law, viz. the Shops and Commercial Establishments, covers unregistered factories and non-governmental segments of the service sector. But the OSH regulations in this law are slack and weak. There is no OSH law for the agricultural sector and the MSMEs which together account for more than half of the Indian workforce.
In fact, this is one of the reasons for India not ratifying C.155 even though the central government framed the OSH policy in 2009.
On the other hand, the Indian government following the neo-liberal policies of labour market deregulation has substantially liberalised the labour administrative and inspection system which anyhow covers only segments of the so-called organised sector.
We have, however, ratified the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (C.081). The statistical system concerning industrial accidents covers only registered factories, mines, ports/docks and railways. Notwithstanding strong regulations, readers of newspapers read frequent incidents of fatal workplace accidents.
There is no data on occupational diseases. In fact, the recent Delhi Mundka fire accident and others show the presence of a new problem: “legal invisibility” of working establishments. We don’t have estimates of them. Thus, we see there are serious and grave deficits in both regulations and implementation of OSH among others in the economy.
Notwithstanding all these and, in fact, because of these serious legal and institutional deficits, India must embrace the Declaration without any hesitation, as this measure will lead India on the path of restructuring and reforming the institutional system concerning OSH.
It is notable that the recently passed Occupational Safety Code does not cover all branches of economic activity and the prevalent regulations are inadequate. Thus, adoption of the 2022 Declaration of FPRW will lead to many positives and to eventually create a safe and healthy working environment. The economic and social benefits arising out of OSH need hardly be belaboured.
Business leaders will be quick to point out the costs involved in establishing an elaborate OSH environment as contemplated in laws or that industrial accidents occur because workers must be held accountable.
Monetary costs pale before costs of human lives. Statutory training and disciplinary action against erring workers will solve the operational failures. Right to safe workplaces (right to life) is simply a non-negotiable right. The NDA government must initiate the process of endorsing the Declaration as soon as possible, as India being a founding member of ILO has committed to the promotion of decent work, which involves safe work also.

MOVING Angus Brayshaw from defence to midfield has proved a masterstroke by Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin.
Not only has Brayshaw thrived in his return to the middle of the ground in the final month of the home and away season, but Jayden Hunt has played his best football of 2022 at half-back and Christian Petracca has moved seamlessly into a more forward-dominant role.
But it's Brayshaw that has turned heads.
Following the round 19 shoot-out loss to the Western Bulldogs, Goodwin was forced into a change ahead of a trip west to face Fremantle on Friday night, with James Harmes suffering concussion.
He decided to shuffle the deck, moving Brayshaw to the middle, recalling Hunt to the backline – after he'd barely played in the seniors for eight weeks – and pushing his Norm Smith medallist forward of the ball.
Brayshaw is no stranger to the midfield, finishing third in the Brownlow Medal in 2018, but had been one of the competition's best intercept defenders through 18 matches.
He earned a spot in the Therabody All-Australian squad of 44 for his backline play and still finished the season with the third most intercept possessions despite the switch of roles.
His impact was instant.
Twenty-eight disposals and five coach's votes in a 46-point thumping of the Dockers was followed by 32, 38 and 27 disposals in matches against Collingwood, Carlton and Brisbane to round out the season.
Statistics provided by Champion Data show the jump he's taken.
The 26-year-old has gone from not playing one minute of midfield time to averaging 17.5 centre bounce attendances over the final month, which has resulted in almost seven clearances and 14.5 contested possessions a game.
Melbourne has been able to cover his move from defence, too. Although it's been multi-factoral, Hunt's addition has been seamless.
The Demons finished the most frugal defence in the competition, averaging just 66 points against in the final four games – all against desperate, quality opponents vying for top-four or top-eight spots at the time – which was slightly improved on the 68 points a game conceded prior to that.
Brayshaw has become more involved in scoring chains, up to almost five a game.
Any fear that Petracca – who was chosen at half-forward in the All-Australian team – would have a diminished impact with a split role has been dispelled.
Although his midfield time has dropped dramatically – from 85 per cent to 58 – and centre bounce attendances from 21 to 13, he's still averaging 28 disposals and kicked a goal a game.
>> DEMONS v SWANS Get your finals tickets NOW
The flexibility in Melbourne's outfit is apparent, and the scoring has followed.
After averaging 87 points through the first 18 matches, that has lifted to 95 over the final month.
Whether Goodwin continues with the same combination through September, which is likely, he now knows that in Brayshaw he has a player capable of switching between roles to a level as high as anyone in the competition.

Pennies from Heaven
I never thought much about the expression pennies from heaven, until I read a book about the signs that our departed loved ones leave for us. The book claimed that loved ones left pennies for us to find to let us know we are loved. After reading this I suddenly started to notice pennies in odd places. I picked one up and saw the date was the year my sister was born. I later read that the pennies sometimes had a significant date on them so you would know who it is from. The reason that pennies are the coin used is that they are light and easy to move. I researched to find out if there were other beliefs about the pennies.

Man mocks people in 40s choosing to be child-free. People respond with how they live their life to the fullest.
In today's world, there are various reasons why people decide against having children. Raising children means extended expenses, more responsibility and sometimes people choose not to devote a major part of their life caring for another human. However, a family with children is still seen as a functional unit of society and many people don't understand the choice of being child-free. In one such incident, a user on Twitter—a man who goes by the username @GShaneMorris—criticized people's choice of not having children. He wrote, "Millennials who are very cavalier about not having children are in for a shock when they enter their 40s & realize life is only half over. What do you do at that point? Keep trying to be sexy & have fun? I expect to see a lot of sadness & confusion about what to do at that point."

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word.

ATHENS – While Greece’s Social Security agency, EFKA, cleared 96 percent of 1 million backlog of pension applications, the New Democracy government plans to hire 224 managers to help, including from the private sector.
That would include 24 senior managers at top level positions paying up to 8,000 euros ($7972) a month, up to eight times what some civil servants get but it wasn’t said if the plan was a move toward privatization of the agency.
The Labor Ministry is finalizing the details of the call for applications, said Kathimerini in a report, the move likely to draw fire from some political opponents, particularly the major opposition SYRIZA which doesn’t want private managers.
It also means that Labor Minister Kostis Hatzidakis is proceeding with his near total overhaul of EFKA with plans he devised as soon as he took over to modernize an agency with a reputation for being sluggish and inefficient.
When workers retire in Greece, it can take two years or more before they see their first benefit checks and they aren’t allowed to work in the meantime, leaving those without savings or means to try to get under-the-table payment jobs.
The reforms include a hotline, the hiring of private lawyers and accountants to help reduce the still massive pile of pending online applications to speed them and setting up a so-called “digital communications room,” the report added.
Several of these reforms have been opposed by public sector unions as “creeping privatization,” the sector also rabidly opposed to evaluations of workers in public officials long known for being slow and bureaucratic.
He told the newspaper that hiring managers, including from the outside, would dramatically improve the state agency’s administration model and will attract experienced and capable people, no word what would happen to current managers.
One of the prerequisites to be considered for the job is a minimum 10-year experience in management positions in either the private or public sector, in Greece or abroad. It wasn’t said how he would get around a requirement that workers can’t be hired if their diploma isn’t from a public Greek university.
Successful applicants will be hired on a three-year, once-renewable contract. There still remain 56,000 main pensions to be processed, as well as tens of thousands of auxiliary pensions, lump-sum payments and other, more specific cases from those filed from 2016-22.
There are also several appeals procedures, estimated at between 2,000 and 3,000, for those who were awarded a smaller pension than they expected and the report said one benefit of clearing old applications is that those who got a minimum while waiting will get retroactive payments. | https://www.thenationalherald.com/greece-hiring-private-managers-for-beset-social-security-agency/ | 2022-08-29T02:13:16Z | https://www.thenationalherald.com/greece-hiring-private-managers-for-beset-social-security-agency/ | false | 1 |
NEW YORK — Brandon Nimmo hit a leadoff homer and an RBI double, and David Peterson pitched six innings of four-hit ball as the first-place New York Mets defeated the Colorado Rockies 3-0 on Saturday night for their third straight victory.
Starling Marte added an RBI double in the seventh for the Mets, who moved three games ahead of second-place Atlanta in the NL East when the Braves lost 6-5 in St. Louis.
New York (82-46) holds the second-best record in the majors and is 36 games over .500 for the first time since finishing 100-60 in 1988.
“Good game for me personally,” Nimmo said. “I’m glad I was able to contribute.”
Colorado has lost 10 of 13 and dropped to 18-42 away from Coors Field, the worst road record in the big leagues.
After winning Friday night on Pete Alonso‘s walk-off single, the Mets wasted little time getting on the scoreboard against Kyle Freeland (7-9). Nimmo sent Freeland’s second pitch well over the right-center field wall to give New York an early lead. The 433-foot drive was Nimmo’s sixth career leadoff homer, half of which have come against Colorado.
“If you start talking about the best leadoff hitters in baseball, his name has to be mentioned,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said.
Nimmo doubled the lead one inning later. Freeland plunked Mark Canha to open the second – the 17th time the Mets’ outfielder has been hit by a pitch this season. New York batters have been hit a major league-leading 87 times. Jeff McNeil worked a 10-pitch walk and, two batters later, Nimmo again connected on Freeland’s second offering, driving it into right field for an RBI double.
“A little too much Nimmo,” Rockies manager Bud Black said.
The two-run lead was more than enough for Peterson (7-3), who was making his second career start against his hometown Rockies. Peterson, recalled from Triple-A Syracuse before the game, scattered four singles and struck out seven in his best start of the season.
“He stayed in attack mode,” Showalter said. “He was the key to the game.”
The 26-year-old lefty set a career high for wins and has fanned seven or more batters in seven of his 16 starts this season. The Mets rank second in the majors with 1,207 strikeouts after recording 11 more Saturday.
“I take a lot of pride when I am given the ball,” Peterson said.
Three relievers combined to complete New York’s league-leading 17th shutout. Adam Ottavino worked the ninth for his second save this season – both in the past three days against his former team.
New York has won 15 of its last 17 home games.
Freeland, who signed a five-year contract in April, allowed two runs on four hits over five innings. The 29-year-old left-hander walked one and hit two batters. He is tied for the major league lead with 15 hit batters.
“The Met hitters battled him,” Black said. “They put the ball in play. They fought the change, they fought the slider, they fought the curve, they fought the fastball.”
SAY HEY SURPRISE
Before the game, the Mets held their first Old-Timers’ Day since 1994. To conclude the ceremonial portion of the event, the team retired Hall of Famer Willie Mays’ No. 24. Mays played 135 games in two seasons with the Mets and hit his final 14 home runs for the team before retiring at the end of the 1973 season.

LONDON, Aug 27 (Reuters) - The British government's options to support people facing sky-rocketing energy bills include handing loans to energy suppliers that could cut bills by up to 500 pounds ($587) a year, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on Saturday.
Britain's energy regulator said on Friday energy bills will jump 80% to an average of 3,549 pounds a year from October, spurring calls for urgent government support to households and businesses.
Finance Minister Nadhim Zahawi has prepared a range of options for government support that the next prime minister, who will take office in early September, can consider, the Telegraph said.
Zahawi told the Telegraph he had been working on a plan to help energy suppliers with loans to provide them greater liquidity in a move that could "put a downward pressure on the price cap by anywhere between (400 and 500 pounds)." The idea, previously rejected, was now "back on the table", the newspaper reported.
Increases in wholesale prices are passed on to British consumers through a price cap, calculated every three months.
Other options being drawn up by the finance minister include freezing the price cap, increasing state benefits and a grant scheme for small businesses, the Telegraph said.
Zahawi said he was concerned that only targeting support at those who receive state benefits would leave out others including pensioners and middle-income earners who will also likely struggle to pay their bills.
Soaring energy bills, exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, have driven British inflation to 40-year-highs, but Britain's response has been hampered by the race to replace Prime Minister Boris Johnson that runs until Sept. 5.
Liz Truss, the foreign minister and the frontrunner to replace Johnson, has said she would look at doing more to help businesses with soaring energy costs if she becomes prime minister next month.

Approximately 9,000 residents in 12 communities across Westmoreland now have access to improved water supply, following the commissioning of the $475 million Nonpareil/Retirement/Orange Hill Water System on Thursday (August 25).
Among the beneficiary areas are White Hall, Mount Airy, Hog Haven, Orange Hill, Sections of West End, Good Hope, Retirement, Little Bay, Revival, Brighton, Negril, and Cherry Hill.
The project was executed by the National Water Commission (NWC) in collaboration with Rural Water Supply Limited (RWSL).
The system, which is outfitted with two pumping stations, two storage reservoirs, and transmission and distribution pipelines, has the capacity to supply 500,000 gallons of water daily.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony at the White Hall pumping station in Negril, Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation, Senator the Hon. Matthew Samuda, said the Government is looking to ensure that all Jamaicans have access to potable piped water.
He pointed out that the Administration is “working around the clock”, by investing and seeking to identify financing for the National Water Commission (NWC), “to ensure that we get to [that] stage.”
The Minister noted that as Jamaica grapples with the effects of climate change, the Government is putting the necessary water infrastructure in place to position the country to adapt to shifting climatic conditions.”
“Climate change is more than just a buzzword for a country like Jamaica. It’s real. Our climate has changed, our weather patterns have changed. One of the buzzwords that’s attached to climate change is adaptation,” Mr. Samuda emphasised.
Senator Samuda said activities, like the newly developed water system, were adaptation projects “that help you to prepare for the erratic rainfall that we know will come.”
Consequently, he encouraged the project beneficiaries to pay their water bills, noting that the revenue derived is needed for investments in improved service delivery.
“Paying your bills on time means we continue to give you water. The reality is, the cost of providing water is significantly more in many cases than what we receive in fees. So, persons have to pay their water bills if we’re to be reliable,” Mr. Samuda underscored.
For his part, Member of Parliament for Westmoreland Western, Morland Wilson, described the new system as a “significant milestone”, adding that he is pleased that hundreds of residents now have access to a more reliable supply of potable water. | https://jis.gov.jm/9000-residents-in-westmoreland-get-improved-water-supply/ | 2022-08-29T02:22:58Z | https://jis.gov.jm/9000-residents-in-westmoreland-get-improved-water-supply/ | false | 1 |

NEW YORK (AP) — For one day, movie tickets will be just $3 in the vast majority of American theaters as part of a newly launched “National Cinema Day” to lure moviegoers during a quiet spell at the box office.
The Cinema Foundation, a non-profit arm of the National Association of Theater Owners, on Sunday announced that Sept. 3 will be a nationwide discount day in more than 3,000 theaters and on more than 30,000 screens. Major chains, including AMC and Regal Cinemas, are participating, as are all major film studios. In participating theaters, tickets will be no more than $3 for every showing, in every format.
Labor Day weekend is traditionally one of the slowest weekends in theaters. This year, the August lull has been especially acute for exhibitors. Cineworld, which owns Regal Cinemas, cited the scant supply of major new releases in its recent plans to fill for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
But, if successful, National Cinema Day could flood theaters with moviegoers and potentially prompt them to return in the fall. Before each showing, ticket buyers will be shown a sizzle reel of upcoming films from A24, Amazon Studios, Disney, Focus Features, Lionsgate, Neon, Paramount, Sony Pictures Classics, Sony, United Artists Releasing, Universal, and Warner Bros.
“After this summer’s record-breaking return to cinemas, we wanted to do something to celebrate moviegoing,” said Jackie Brenneman, Cinema Foundation president, in a statement. “We’re doing it by offering a ‘thank you’ to the moviegoers that made this summer happen, and by offering an extra enticement for those who haven’t made it back yet.”
After more than two years of pandemic, movie theaters rebounded significantly over the summer, seeing business return to nearly pre-pandemic levels. Films like “Top Gun: Maverick,”“Minions: Rise of Gru,”“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and “Jurassic World Dominion” pushed the domestic summer box office to $3.3 billion in ticket sales as of Aug. 21, according to data firm Comscore. That trails 2019 totals by about 20% but exhibitors have had about 30% fewer wide releases this year.
Organizers of National Cinema Day described the event as a trial that could become an annual fixture. While some other countries have experimented with a similar day of cheap movie tickets, the initiative is the first of its kind on such a large scale in the U.S.

And that’s a wrap from Los Angeles.
The 2022 HSBC Los Angeles Sevens provided 45 matches over the weekend as the 2021-22 season came to an end.
In the end, New Zealand was victorious as it topped Fiji 28-21 in the cup final. However, Australia took home the 2021-22 season title with a bronze-medal placement in Los Angeles, marking the nation’s first ever first-place finish in the rugby sevens series.
With the tournament in the books, here are the winners and losers from Los Angeles:
Winner: New Zealand
The All Blacks make the first entry on this list but not just because of their cup title. They missed out on the first four tournaments of the 2021-22 season due to COVID-19 restrictions, yet still managed to finish in the top half of the series standings after playing in the final five competitions.
New Zealand (80 points) finished just one point off seventh-place France, and it ended the season on a high note with gold. Its highest finishes this season were two silver medals in Singapore and London.
Sports
Loser: South Africa
The Springboks came into the tournament in good shape. They were first in the standings and multiple permutations went their way in terms of what they needed to do to ensure the series title. However, after missing key players like Selvyn Davids due to injury, South Africa completely unraveled in Los Angeles.
It failed to make it out of Pool B and lost to Wales in the 13th-place semifinals, so it only collected three out of a possible 22 points from Los Angeles. However, South Africa managed a second-place finish from the 2021-22 season, but it wasn’t a good showing ahead of the World Cup next month in its backyard.
Winner: Wales
Wales gets a small blurb here after doing the unthinkable against South Africa. Wales’ rugby program is still a long ways away from ever competing for a tournament or cup title, but beating a team like South Africa could boost its confidence. No one will predict them to jump too high in the standings next season after a 15th-place finish this time, but they were David against Goliath in Los Angeles.
Loser: Argentina
Los Pumas were in pole position to either finish first or second, which would’ve been their highest ever finish. They entered Los Angeles in third place and an opening was created after South Africa’s drop early on. However, with no Marcos Moneta on the squad due to a late injury, the Argentines didn’t have enough to finish at least in the top four.
It lost to Samoa in a thrilling quarterfinal match and finished fourth in the entire season, just behind Fiji, which just edged them after finishing second in Los Angeles.
Winner: France
France is gradually emerging in the standings. It competed extremely well against tougher teams like Ireland and Fiji in Pool C before winning its last four games en route to beating Scotland 33-0 in the ninth-place playoff game. Argentina has been a recent example of a rising country in rugby sevens, so France feels like a reasonable shout as the team that’s next up.
Loser: USA
You hate to do it to them, but the U.S. didn’t have a great homecoming in Los Angeles. It started off strong with a win over South Africa in the tournament opener, but were eliminated by Fiji in the quarterfinals.
The Eagles then struggled in placement matches and lost to a Kenya side that finished 12th on the season. They collected 10 out of a possible 22 points to finish sixth, which is not bad, but they were six points away from edging Ireland for fifth. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/winners-losers-from-2022-hsbc-los-angeles-sevens/2925809/ | 2022-08-29T02:44:09Z | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/winners-losers-from-2022-hsbc-los-angeles-sevens/2925809/ | true | 12 |

CARTHAGE, Mo. — The building on Route 66 that recognized Carthage’s past for more than 30 years has started its new purpose — preparing part of Carthage’s future.
The staff at the Powers Learning Center welcomed its first students last week in programs that are designed to help high schoolers who have fallen behind on the number of credits they need to graduate with their classmates.
Chase Carlton, director of the Powers Learning Center, said the two programs housed there, the Junior Flex Program for high school juniors and the Missouri Options Program for seniors, were serving 21 juniors and 26 seniors as of the end of the first week of school, although that number fluctuates as new students decide to join the two programs.
The Missouri Options Program has been in place for more than a decade for seniors, but the Junior Flex Program is new. It’s an effort to catch students who are falling behind on graduation credits one year sooner than before.
The district said earlier this month that 32 seniors were enrolled in the Missouri Options Program in 2021 and 22 of them graduated with their class.
“The kind of benchmarks we’re looking at is 12 or less credits, if a student has that we’re having those discussions with parents,” Carlton said. “If you’re at 12 or less credits going into your junior year, you’re not on track to graduate. You could possibly get there through virtual learning classes, summer school, coming back after your senior year, but those are options that most kids don’t really want to do or are not excited about.”
Both programs combine a half-day of academic classes with some kind of job or college or technical classes. Students drive to or are dropped off at the high school during morning or afternoon sessions, then are bussed to the Powers Learning Center for their classes.
Museum's history
The Powers Museum was created in 1981 by an endowment left by Marian Powers Winchester to honor her parents, Everett and Marian Wright Powers, with a museum about life in Carthage.
In addition to money, Winchester left her belongings, clothes and other items, which became the initial collection, which expanded with donations from other residents.
The museum also maintained an extensive reference library and was typically open during the summer and closed in the winter to change out the exhibits and do maintenance work on the building.
The museum building was constructed in 1985 and remained open during the summer and fall until 2019. It did not reopen for its 2020 season because of the coronavirus pandemic.
When Powers Museum board decided to shut down the museum in May 2021, it voted to give the building to the Carthage School District and started working to transfer as much of its collection and archives to places in Carthage where possible and other places that would put it to good use.
The building and grounds were valued at about $500,000, and the district has used mostly in-house maintenance and student workers to remodel the building to suit its purposes.
The district spent approximately $87,000 to renovate the building in advance of the Aug. 22 opening day.
Open house
The district held open houses at all its school buildings the week before the Aug. 22 first day of school.
Carlton said he and teacher Justin McKee greeted about a dozen families who attended the Powers Learning Center open house Aug. 17.
“We’re excited," he said. "Just like always, first day of school, there’s nerves on the part of the students and teachers. New building, new program, kids have never been here before. We’ve had a pretty good turnout of students to our open house and the people I've talked to, the parents are excited. The parents are really excited because this provides an avenue for their kids to graduate."
Carlton said the public sometimes has an incorrect impression that “alternative schools” are places where districts send kids who start fights and have other behavioral issues.
“That’s not what this building is,” he said. “This building is an alternative path to graduation for whatever myriad of reasons your behind in credits; that’s what this building is. It’s not 'shove all the bad kids here, let's take all the outcasts and juvenile delinquents and put them in this building.' There are really good kids in this building; one came in just now, she was home-schooled. She didn’t have any credits and transferred in. There are lots of different scenarios why students would find themselves behind in credits. It’s not necessarily always a behavior kind of thing.” | https://www.joplinglobe.com/news/retired-powers-museum-becomes-powers-learning-center/article_8a7e4536-2706-11ed-9603-ff366526e36e.html | 2022-08-29T02:55:50Z | https://www.joplinglobe.com/news/retired-powers-museum-becomes-powers-learning-center/article_8a7e4536-2706-11ed-9603-ff366526e36e.html | true | 2 |
NEW DELHI: The demolition of the Supertech twin towers in Noida had no impact on Delhi’s air quality as the northwesterly winds didn’t support the transport of dust into the capital, experts said.
V K Soni, head, environment and research centre, India Meteorological Department, said: “Northwesterly winds at the speed of 18-20 kmph blew on Sunday and no change in wind direction is expected in the next 24 hours.” He added, “Northwesterly winds blow from Punjab, Haryana and Delhi to Noida and move further in Uttar Pradesh. The impact of dust would have been visible in the downwind southeastern side of towers.”
According to
Delhi Pollution Control Committee’s real-time air monitoring data, the stations nearest to the towers did not show any spike in the PM10 levels. An increase in dust concentration leads to a rise in PM10 levels. The hourly PM10 concentration, which stood at 130 micrograms per cubic metre at 2pm, rose slightly to 149 micrograms per cubic metre at 3pm and again dropped to 132 micrograms per cubic metre at 4pm.
Similarly, the hourly PM10 concentration at Okhla Phase-II recorded a dip from 138 micrograms per cubic metre at 2pm to 132 micrograms per cubic metre at 3pm. It dipped further at 4 pm to 118 micrograms per cubic metre. The real-time readings of PM10 concentration suggested that there was no impact on the air quality due to the dust from Noida.
Delhi’s overall Air Quality Index continued to remain in the moderate category at 119 on Sunday. It was slightly higher than Saturday’s AQI of 105.
The System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) said that for the next three days, the peak wind speed was likely to be in the range of 8-24 km/h, causing moderate dispersion of pollutants. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/no-impact-of-demolition-of-twin-towers-on-delhis-air-quality/articleshow/93841411.cms | 2022-08-29T03:03:30Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/no-impact-of-demolition-of-twin-towers-on-delhis-air-quality/articleshow/93841411.cms | true | 2 |

LONDON: Liz Truss has emerged as the clear favourite to succeed Boris Johnson as leader of the ruling Conservative party and UK prime minister, using her political experience to pull ahead of challenger Rishi Sunak.
Sunak helped to spark the contest after resigning in opposition to a series of government scandals, prompting others to follow and Johnson to step down.
But although considered a better public speaker, he has come under fire for clinging to fiscal orthodoxy to tackle the economic crisis and hamstrung by his image as a wealthy technocrat.
Sunak, who would become Britain's first prime minister of colour, has also faced accusations of treachery for bringing down the Tories' Brexit hero Johnson.
Truss meanwhile has doggedly hammered home a direct and consistent message, promising massive tax cuts, and has shied away from criticising Johnson.
"She's a better politician," said John Curtice, a political scientist at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.
"If you ask me what Liz Truss's campaign was about I will immediately say to you: 'a tax cut not a handout'. Very clear," he told AFP.
"There is no strapline for Sunak, nothing."
For Curtice, Truss has effectively conveyed "traditional Conservative messages" to Tory members while Sunak has been more nuanced.
"It's also a bit of a lecture," he said, assessing that he has come across as "a wee bit brittle" under pressure.
"You can see that she's been in the game for longer," he added.
Truss, 47, has described her ascent towards the top of British politics as a "journey" that has seen her criticised for being ambitiously opportunistic.
She comes from a left-wing family and initially joined the centrist Liberal Democrats before jumping ship to the right-wing Conservatives.
She became MP for the South West Norfolk constituency in eastern England in 2010, surviving revelations of an affair that almost cost her the nomination.
Since 2012 she has held a series of ministerial posts in the education, finance and departments as well as a difficult spell in justice.
In 2016, she campaigned for the UK to remain in the European Union but quickly became one of its strongest supporters when Britons voted for Brexit.
When the UK left the EU, Johnson put her in charge of negotiating new free trade deals before appointing her as foreign secretary last year.
In the role, she took on the controversial task of trying to overhaul differences with Brussels about post-Brexit trade in Northern Ireland.
Like Johnson, she has talked tough on Russia and given unswerving backing for Ukraine.
Truss's dress sense and photo opportunities -- posing in a tank in Estonia and wearing a fur hat in Moscow -- have earned her comparisons to Tory icon Margaret Thatcher.
Her sometimes stiff style has become visibly more relaxed and allies have sought to soften her image, revealing her love of karaoke and socialising.
"For a party that's gone in quite a populist direction in recent years, she's been able to present herself as more authentic, more ordinary than Rishi Sunak, who is all too easily presented as part of the global elite," said Tim Bale, from Queen Mary University of London.
"Like Boris Johnson, she is keen on the idea that there is some kind of elite that has to be countered and she sets herself up as being outside the establishment, despite having been in government for eight years."
Sunak, 42, the grandson of Indian immigrants, grew up as the son of a doctor and a pharmacist in Southampton, on England's south coast.
He attended the prestigious fee-paying Winchester College school, then Oxford University.
Truss, who went to a state school in Leeds, northern England, also studied at Oxford. Both studied politics, philosophy and economics.
Sunak met his wife, Akshata Murty, whose father founded the Indian tech giant Infosys, at US university Stanford before jobs at Goldman Sachs and investment funds.
He has represented the constituency of Richmond in northern England since 2015, where he was soon marked out as a potential future prime minister.
He became finance minister in early 2020, quickly winning plaudits for spearheading government support to people and businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
But Sunak, a self-confessed geek with a love of Star Wars, saw opinion turn against him this year, after it emerged that his wife did not pay UK tax.
Critics have also used his private wealth, expensive clothes and houses to portray him as out of touch with the ordinary public.

Nene Leakes Drops Lawsuit Alleging Discrimination, Racism on ‘RHOA’… For Now
Nene Leakes has dropped her lawsuit against Bravo, Andy Cohen and others. The Real Housewives of Atlanta had previously sued the network, Cohen, NBCUniversal and the production companies behind the show for discrimination, but dismissed her suit Monday (Aug. 22), Deadline reports.
The latest update in the case was confirmed in documents obtained by the outlet, which state in part, “Leakes hereby dismisses this action and all claims asserted by Leakes without prejudice, thereby concluding this case before this Court at this time.”
Because Leakes dismissed the suit “without prejudice,” she can still open another case in the future.
Leakes first filed her lawsuit in April, when she alleged that she had been working in a hostile and racist environment on the show. Leakes, a Black cast member, specifically called out her RHOA co-star Kim Zolciak-Biermann in her suit, alleging that Zolciak-Biermann — who is white — made racist remarks to her for years, but was never reprimanded for her behavior, per The Hollywood Reporter.
In her suit, Leaks said Bravo executives ““did not terminate their relationship with Zolciak-Biermann, nor take any other meaningful action to put an end to her racially-offensive behavior,” after her complaints, per THR. Instead, Zolciak-Biermann was given her own spin-off show on Bravo, Don’t Be Tardy.
The reality star claimed that she reported Zolciak-Biermann’s comments to executives but alleged that she was the one who was punished. While Leakes NBCUniversal, Bravo, True Entertainment and Truly Original and Cohen as defendants, she did not list Zolciak-Biermann.
“NBC, Bravo and True foster a corporate and workplace culture in which racially insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated — if not, encouraged,” Leakes’ suit read, per THR.
Leakes, who left RHOA in September 2020, stated in her lawsuit that her complaints about the racist work environment on the show contributed to her exit. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2716272874731/nene-leakes-drops-lawsuit-alleging-discrimination-racism-on-rhoa-for-now | 2022-08-29T03:20:08Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2716272874731/nene-leakes-drops-lawsuit-alleging-discrimination-racism-on-rhoa-for-now | false | 2 |

Noida Supertech twin towers brought down, end to 9-year-old battle
Noida Supertech twin towers demolition: The exercise was earlier supposed to start on August 21 but the court accepted the Noida Authority's request and extended its date of demolition to August 28.
Supertech's twin towers in Uttar Pradesh's Noida were finally demolished at 2.30pm on Sunday, ending the nine-year saga. The demolition of the Apex (32 storeys) and Ceyane (29 storeys) towers would leave behind approximately 35,000 cubic metres of debris that would take at least three months to be cleared.
The controlled implosions using 3,700 kilograms of explosives were India's biggest demolition to date. Thousands of people, as well as stray dogs, had to be evacuated before the blast, including from neighbouring high-rises, one of which was reportedly just nine metres away.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage to nearby buildings.
The go-ahead for demolishing the twin towers with explosives was given by the Supreme Court.
On Saturday, the Noida Police commissionerate issued an advisory, on the eve of the demolition of the Supertech twin towers in the city, asking the media personnel to station at the designated place for the media coverage, while also making sure to bring an ID card of the organisation.
The Police also shared the contact number of the administration which include ACP Rajnish (8595902521), district information officer Rakesh Chauhan (9560544878), and the traffic helpline (9971009001).
The exercise was earlier supposed to start on August 21 but the court accepted the Noida Authority's request and extended its date of demolition to August 28.
The twin towers are set to be razed over grave violations of building norms. The top court had said that it was a result of "nefarious complicity" between the Noida Authority and Supertech and ordered that the company shall carry out the demolition at its own expense under the supervision of the Noida Authority and an expert body like the Central Building Research Institute.
The order had come on a batch of petitions filed by homebuyers for and against the April 11, 2014 verdict of the Allahabad High Court which had ordered razing of the two buildings within four months and the refund of money to apartment buyers.
The Supreme Court has said that the date of demolition may be confirmed as August 28, with a “bandwidth of seven days” between August 29 to September 4, to take into account any marginal delay on account of technical reasons or weather conditions.
Supertech says it lost ₹500 crore
Supertech Ltd said it has incurred a loss of about ₹500 crore, including construction and interest costs.
"Our overall loss is around ₹500 crore, taking into account the amount we have spent on land and construction cost, the charges paid to authorities for various approvals, interest paid to banks over the years and the 12 per cent interest paid back to buyers of these two towers, among other costs," "Our overall loss is around ₹500 crore, taking into account the amount we have spent on land and construction cost, the charges paid to authorities for various approvals, interest paid to banks over the years and the 12 per cent interest paid back to buyers of these two towers, among other costs," the company's chairman RK Arora told news agency PTI.

When author A.M. Homes went home for Christmas one year, an unexpected message awaited her: "We've gotten a phone call and someone is looking for you."
For Homes, who had been adopted at birth, it was "terrifying" news. Then 32 years old, Homes had no particular desire to find her birth parents. But then she learned that her biological mother was looking to get in touch with her.
"It was literally the sense of the rug coming out from under," Homes tells Steve Inskeep.
For Homes, who has recounted the experience in the book The Mistress's Daughter, the prospect of meeting her biological parents "was in many ways very threatening for my adoptive family [and] they worried that in some way they would lose me," she says. They were also worried that Homes would be hurt emotionally by the experience.
"I think what was kind of interesting about it and kind of scary was finding out little, tiny details like my biological mother telling me that her father had died very early of a heart attack."
Suddenly, Homes had to worry about the possibility that a hereditary defect would kill her as well.
But the story turned out to be false. The truth was stranger: Her grandfather had really been killed in a shootout.
So then Homes had to wonder: "What kind of people were they that they would be in a situation where someone would be killed in a shootout?
"It was both fascinating and terrifying at the same time."
Homes ended up meeting her biological parents, and soon realized that her birth mother was lost in time.
"The conversations I was having with her were not in the late 1980s or the early 1990s," Homes says. "They were back in the 1960s, where she left off.
"When she returned to find me, in many ways she hoped to find her fantasy of the child she left behind."
"My biological mother was somebody who I think had had a very, very difficult life. She had left home as a teenager, which for a young woman in Washington, D.C., was a very difficult thing to do. She got involved with my father when she was in her late teens. He was married; he was in his 30s. I think she very much hoped that he was going to make a life with her, and that never happened. There were a lot of promises that weren't kept. So by the time she found me, she was incredibly needy."
Homes says she didn't know what to expect when she met her birth mother, "but it was certainly not in any way an easy relationship."
The author's biological father is still married and has four other children. His promises to Homes, like those he made to her mother, were never fulfilled, the author says.
"He wanted to take me into his family to make me a part of things, and that wasn't something he could do. I think what's painful about it for me is that I would have liked to know him better. I would have liked to know both of these people better."
Homes says the experience has taught her "that we are not just the products of our mothers and fathers ... that I am not just my adoptive parents' child and I am not just my biological parents' child. I am simultaneously all of their children and their parents' children and their great-grandparents' children."

A father and son were holding on for their lives last Wednesday night, clinging to an Igloo cooler and each other after their boat sank in Boston Harbor. Two Boston Police Harbor Unit officers rushed to the scene and saved them, which led to an emotional reunion this weekend in the Seaport.
Joseph Azeredo and his son Tommy Azeredo warmly embraced officers Stephen Merrick and Garrett Boyle as the foursome reunited on the dock Sunday at the Boston Police Harbor Patrol headquarters.
“And when I see those guys, it's like I see God," Joseph Azeredo recalled of when the officers reached him in the water last week. "I want to thank you very much...I never seen in my life better cops than this.”
Tommy Azeredo said he was terrified, and he wasn't sure they'd survive the harrowing ordeal.
"Once we saw these guys come in, we were thanking God the whole time, saying a little bit of prayer, because we didn't know if we were going to come home to our families” he said.
"They are heroes," Tommy Azeredo added of Merrick and Boyle. "They are heroes."
The officers smiled alongside the men Sunday, with Boyle responding, "It's nice to be someone's hero."
Merrick and Boyle found the 76-year-old man and his 41-year-old son exhausted off the coast of Graves Light, an island about eight miles from Boston's Seaport, and quickly got them on board their police boat.
The rescue was captured by body-camera video and has since been widely circulated. The Azeredos recounted their distressing experience Sunday, at times overcome with emotion as they shared more details about how they ended up in the water.
Joseph Azeredo said the pair was out lobstering, pulling traps in by hand, when a line got tangled up in their motors. He handed his son a knife, and Tommy Azeredo jumped into the water.
For 25 to 30 minutes, Tommy Azeredo said he struggled in the water as he tried to cut the rope. At one point, the knife he was using broke, so his dad went to find another.
When he was in the cabin, Joseph Azeredo said he heard a big bang -- their boat had hit the rocks. Once Tommy Azeredo was back on board, he noticed the rear of the boat was quickly taking on water.
They put out a mayday call over the radio but didn't hear any response. They called police and then "everything went dead," Joseph Azeredo said, adding it all happened so quick. The 28-foot Grady was sinking within minutes.
As the boat was turning while going under, Joseph Azeredo was thrown into the water, while Tommy Azeredo was trying to escape a cabin quickly filling with water. They lost sight of each other during the commotion. Joseph Azeredo said it all happened so quick.
"I looked around, start yelling for [Tommy]. I don't see him, and I think..." he said, trailing off as he was overcome by emotion.
“I was thinking about my family. I didn't think I was going to see them again. I can hear my father screaming for me," Tommy Azeredo recalled. It was terrifying man. It was very terrifying.”
According to Tommy Azeredo, people have asked in the days since the rescue why he wasn't wearing a life vest, like his dad, which can be seen in the body-camera video.
He was actually wearing one during the ordeal, he said, but he had rip it off to escape the sinking boat, noting that the life jacket was pushing him up, and he was drowning.
Without his life vest on, it was the green Igloo cooler keeping him above water, and he was sure to mention that Sunday.
"I just want to say a shoutout to Igloo coolers because if that wasn't there right next to me, I was all beat up from getting banged up on the rocks, that's what actually saved my life," Tommy Azeredo added. "And then I swam to my father, just bear hugging him, trying to keep him calm. We seen a few boats go by, obviously they couldn't hear us screaming because obviously the motors were on."
While the duo was stranded in the water, Merrick and Boyle were speeding over from Georges Island after receiving the 911 call. They estimate it took them about seven minutes to reach the men at Graves Light, and they could see how weary the Azeredos were as they approached.
“We’ve gotten calls that sound serious and then you get there and it’s not really that big a deal,” Boyle said. “But we were pulling up and Steve was like ‘oh yeah, this is serious.’”
"When these things happen, these guys will tell you, it’s very stressful," Merrick added. "It’s life or death."
The father and son managed to escape with only scrapes and bruises, but the incident will have a lasting impact.
It was a "life changer," Tommy Azeredo said.
“No more lobster,” he added. “We’re selling those. We’ll just stick to fishing...That's what we'll do.”
“If my wife let me buy another boat,” Joseph Azeredo quipped.
Tommy Azeredo said this would have been particularly tragic for his mom, if things had turned out differently, because his sister just died from COVID in January and his mom has been struggling. He also mentioned a few times that his mom wanted him to hug and kiss the officers.

Trump lawsuit: What is a special master and why does Trump want one?
The legal team representing former President Donald Trump has requested that a “special master” be appointed to oversee the documents seized by the Justice Department during the search of his Florida home.
Trump said he wants the FBI to return any items that weren’t targeted in the search warrant, and his lawyers say the DOJ “failed to legitimize its historic decision” to search Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment on the case, Trump v. United States Government.
What is a special master and why does Trump want one? Here’s what we know now.
What is a special master?
A special master is a third-party attorney who is appointed by a judge to oversee some portion of a legal case.
According to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, judges appoint special masters to aid in handling pretrial and post-trial matters tried without a jury “that cannot be addressed effectively and timely by an available district court judge or magistrate judge of the district.”
A special master may, “if conducting an evidentiary hearing, exercise the appointing court’s power to compel, take, and record evidence.”
A special master may evaluate and rule on the admissibility of evidence in a trial, and will at the end of his or her duties produce a report on their work.
Why does Trump want a special master?
Trump is requesting the judge appoint a special master to oversee the review of evidence gathered at Mar-a-Lago. His lawyers have requested that the judge pause the DOJ’s investigation into the items taken from Mar-a-Lago until the special master can complete the review, according to the court filing on Monday.

SIAYA, Kenya, Aug 29 – Gem member of parliament, Elisha Odhiambo has challenged the new Siaya county government administration, led by Governor James Orengo to subject all pending bills to forensic audit before settling them.
Odhiambo at the same time challenged Orengo to get to the bottom of a Sh600million graft at the county government, adding that the devolved government owed Kenyans an explanation.
Speaking at the Hawinga village home of deputy governor William Oduol, the legislator said most of the pending bills could be fictitious and the public risked losing millions to unscrupulous ex county government top officials.
“You have a herculean task ahead of you. You have a lot of pending bills. Before you pay them, subject them to a forensic audit” said the Gem legislator.
Odhiambo, who retained his seat during the just concluded general elections, said the public still demanded an answer to a Sh600 million loss that was reported six months to the general elections.
“Please, tell Kenyans and Siaya people where the money went. You are lucky we have Members of the county assembly who served in the previous assembly and can help you interrogate and get to the bottom of it” said Odhiambo.
He said that the new administration that was sworn into the office last Thursday must not allow individuals to benefit from the public coffers when the county hospitals had no drugs.
On the pending presidential petition at the supreme court, Odhiambo said the judiciary must prescribe a solution to the perennial elections irregularities in the country.
“The judiciary must prescribe a solution, not a prophylaxis. If you give a prophylaxis, Kenya will still be in trouble” he said.
He said that the supreme court must pronounce itself and take the chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Wafula Chebukati to jail for allegedly stealing the rights of Kenyans.

Old People’s Home for Teenagers: ABC TV show presents world-first intergenerational experiment
Bridging the generational gap has already proved beneficial for participants in the previous two seasons of Old People’s Home for Four Year Olds.
But now, teens are being paired up with retirees to see whether the experiment can also help address another health issue in Old People’s Home for Teenagers.
With a third of seniors across Australia reporting feelings of loneliness and half of teens reporting the same, this world-first program is working to address issues of isolation.
For the oldest participant, 93-year-old Aranka, who escaped on foot with her husband and six-year-old son from her birthplace of Hungary as Russia invaded the country in 1956, making meaningful connections was her main aim for taking part.
Her only son, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2016, didn’t have any children of his own, so she has not had the chance to be a grandmother, something she deeply desires.
“Going into the experiment I was worried that I might not fit in but everyone was so nice and so special,” she says.
Eager to learn from the teens, Aranka didn’t waste any time asking them questions. “They taught me how to actually use my mobile phone and they taught me what TikTok was. I’m glad I got to learn a lot from them, especially with technology,” she laughs.
She also wanted to share her experiences of hardship to remind them to not take anything for granted.
“I wanted to tell them how lucky they are and to take advantage of their opportunities,” she says.
“When I was a teenager I didn’t have many opportunities because it was the war and I missed out on that time.”
For 15-year-old Dora, she decided to get involved to try and make some new friends, but ended up walking away with not only plenty of new connections, but an appreciation for everything that older adults can continue to offer society.
Although she has been able to spend time with her grandparents, Dora says she wanted to learn from other older people, too.
“You never really get to hear people’s stories unless you take the time to ask,” she says. “We were very much encouraged to ask questions which was amazing and eye-opening to learn things like what they have lived through and how much the world had changed since they were my age.”
Incredibly articulate for her age, Dora says ageism has created barriers and isolated older people.
“I think one of the main things I learnt, and not in a dismissive way, but I definitely didn’t really acknowledge older people as capable as they are,” she shares.
“Society sometimes babies older people and we can forget they have been here a lot longer than us and have been through so much.
“This experience was eye-opening and cemented the belief that they are an extremely valuable group of people we should still learn from.”
Geriatrician Stephanie Ward has been involved in the series since the start and says while there has been a change in age of the younger group, what unfolds is just as impactful.
“It’s always an incredible privilege to observe relationships develop. We’ve seen that the past two experiments and now see it again,” Dr Ward says.
“Teenagers are, as we understand, very different from preschoolers and they are at the beginning of their journey of adulthood,” she adds.
“The relationships that form are of a much more mature, intellectual and deeper level. It’s not better or worse, it’s just different and it can also have different benefits.”
The experiment begins with a baseline measurement of the older people’s mental and physical state, while the teens are measured with a wellness survey, resilience, hope and mood scale as well as an ageism assessment.
“What we know about loneliness is that not only is it bad for your wellbeing and quality of life, it is associated with a range of adverse health outcomes for older people,” Dr Ward says.
“They include increased risks of cardiovascular disease, premature mortality and dementia, so addressing it is important at a public health level.”
At the end, all will be reassessed to see how the experience has changed them, with hopes they have improved their wellbeing, confidence and mental state.
“The type of benefits that have been found in this experiment and other similar ones are on metrics like loneliness, mood, quality of life and I suspect, that although we haven’t looked at this specifically, these sorts of programs help in restoring a sense of purpose and meaning,” she explains.
“My observation is those opportunities to have those things, they can become more limited as we get older so finding those opportunities and outlet to give again and be the mentor and support is important.”
As Dr Ward says, programs need to also aim to help both the generations involved.
“We want reciprocal learning — an exchange of learning, perspective and support from one generation to another,” she says.
Taking part this season for the first time is adolescent expert Ali Faraj, who works as AFL club Greater Western Sydney’s head of community.
“I’m passionate about helping young people and the work I’ve done over the past decade has been in supporting the development of young people and teenagers, helping them build self-confidence and motivation so that drove me to say if I can help, I want to be a part of this show,” he says.
He says that while we tend to assume that because young people are connected on social media they are not lonely, but it’s the opposite.
“Instead they can actually be more resistant to socialising on a face-to-face level,” he says.
So watching the teenagers engage with the older people and pick up plenty of life lessons was an emotional undertaking.
“It was so rewarding to see each group grow, learn from each other and make friends.”
Although he does admit he and the other experts did take some delight in watching some lighter moments unfold, including when the teenagers were challenged to navigate their new friends while using a street directory.
“To see them try and use a street directory and come back and saying how terrible it was, I definitely had a giggle,” he says.
“But seeing both groups having that urge to learn something new was the beauty of the experiment.”
Old People’s Home for Teenagers starts on August 30 at 8.30pm on ABC.

Despite not having changed its position, Corinthians took it saw competitors Palmeiras and Fluminense draw 1-1 at Maracanã. With that, if they win on Monday, Corinthians rises to third position and reduces its distance to the leader from ten to eight points.
Flamengo, which completes the G4, was the only direct competitor to Corinthians to score three points in this 24th round. The team from Rio beat Botafogo 1-0, in Engenhão, and rose to 43 points, seven behind leader Palmeiras – see full table below.
Looking down, another direct competitor from Corinthians left points along the way in this weekend’s round. Athletico Paranaense visited Ceará and ended up in a 0-0 draw.

Asian shares slide on Wall Street drop that ended last week
By YURI KAGEYAMA
AP Business Writer
TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares declined Monday after the head of the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated high interest rates will continue for some time to curb inflation.
The plunge in early trading in Asia paralleled the drop on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the week sinking more than 1,000 points. A slowdown in the U.S. is damaging to Asia’s export-reliant economies.
The message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in a speech Friday had been expected, though some had wished for words that weren’t quite so clear.
“The market apparently was looking for something a little more neutral. After all the talk of a ‘pause’ and ‘pivot’, none of which ever made any sense with a Fed that has said several times it will keep hiking rates even if it means some economic pain, we are back to square one with a Fed outlook to keep tightening,” said Clifford Bennett, chief economist at ACY Securities.
“The Fed was always going to keep raising rates aggressively, but the market decided to price in a slowing in hikes, and even a reversal.”
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 dipped 2.8% in morning trading to 27,831.06. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 dropped 2.2% to 6,946.30. South Korea’s Kospi slipped 2.2% to 2,425.70. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng slid 1.1% to 19,949.62, while the Shanghai Composite edged down 0.5% to 3,220.04.
“The risk-off mood is playing out in the Asia’s session today as well, as bearish sentiments follow through with the sell-off in Wall Street to end last week while U.S. futures continue to suggest no reprieve into the new week,” said Yeap Jun Rong, market strategist at IG in Singapore.
Also weighing on regional sentiments are China’s economic data over the weekend, which seem to indicate a strong recovery will take time. China’s January-July industrial profits sank 1.1% from a year ago, amid fresh COVID-19 restrictions.
Powell spoke last week at an annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that has been the setting for market-moving Fed speeches in the past.
He said the Fed will likely need to keep interest rates high enough to slow the economy “for some time” in order to beat back the high inflation sweeping the country. The Fed has already hiked its key overnight interest rate four times this year in hopes of slowing the worst inflation in decades.
Higher rates help corral inflation, but they also hurt asset prices. Powell acknowledged the increases will hurt U.S. households and businesses, in perhaps an unspoken nod to the potential for a recession. But he also said the pain would be far greater if inflation were allowed to fester and that “we must keep at it until the job is done.”
The S&P 500 fell 141.46 points, or 3.4%, to 4,057.66. The benchmark index is now down almost 15% for the year. The Dow lost 1,008.38 points, or 3%, to close at 32,283.40. The last time the blue-chip average had a 1,000-point drop was in May. The Nasdaq slid 497.56 points, or 3.9%, to 12,141.71, its biggest drop since June. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 64.81 points, or 3.3%, to finish at 1,899.83.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude rose 84 cents to $93.90 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, added 71 cents to $101.70 a barrel.
In currency trading, the U.S. dollar rose tp 138.56 Japanese yen from 137.75 yen. The euro was little changed at 99 cents.

O’Neill’s 3-run HR in 8th lifts Cardinals over Braves 6-3
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tyler O’Neill hit a three-run homer to break an eighth-inning tie and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied past the Atlanta Braves 6-3 on Sunday night.
Tommy Edman pulled the Cardinals even with a leadoff homer in the eighth against A.J. Minter (5-4), who also gave up O’Neill’s two-out drive to straightaway center field. Lars Nootbaar went deep with two outs in the sixth for the first hit off Braves starter Jake Odorizzi.
O’Neill entered on defense in the seventh and delivered the decisive blow his first time up — immediately after Minter struck out sluggers Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado with two runners aboard. St. Louis’ rally was aided by third baseman Austin Riley’s error.
O’Neill also drew a game-ending walk Saturday in a 6-5 victory for the Cardinals, who have won 12 of 15. They stayed six games in front of second-place Milwaukee in the NL Central.
Atlanta remained three games behind the first-place New York Mets in the NL East.
Dansby Swanson put Atlanta ahead 3-2 with a three-run homer off reliever Ryan Helsley in the seventh. But the Braves couldn’t hold on and lost two of three in St. Louis after winning their previous five series.
Atlanta rookie Michael Harris II went 4 for 4.
Helsley (9-1) struck out three in 1 1/3 innings. Giovanny Gallegos pitched a scoreless ninth for his 13th save.
Nootbaar slammed a line drive down the left-field line to break a scoreless tie in the sixth, and Odorizzi never got another out. Three more hits in a row followed, and Nolan Arenado chased the right-hander with an RBI single.
Eddie Rosario and Harris singled in the seventh off St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright before Swanson went deep. Wainwright was charged with two runs and eight hits over 6 2/3 innings. He struck and five and did not walk a batter.
The 40-year-old righty made his 18th career start on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, the most of any active pitcher.
Odorizzi, acquired from Houston on Aug. 1 for reliever Will Smith, gave up two runs on four hits over 5 2/3 innings in his fifth start with the Braves.
BEST BUDDIES
Wainwright and catcher Yadier Molina made their 322nd start together, second in major league history behind the Detroit battery of Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan, who amassed 324 starts together from 1963-75.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Braves: OF Ronald Acuna Jr. was held out of the starting lineup for a second successive night to rest his sore right knee.
Cardinals: RHP Jack Flaherty will likely make his fifth and final rehab start Wednesday at Triple-A Memphis. He has been sidelined since June 27 with a right shoulder strain.
UP NEXT
Braves: LHP Max Fried (12-4, 2.52 ERA) faces Colorado RHP Jose Urena (2-5, 5.98) in the first of a three-game series Tuesday in Atlanta. Fried is 1-1 with a 2.86 ERA in four career appearances against the Rockies.
Cardinals: RHP Miles Mikolas (10-10, 3.35) takes on Reds RHP Chase Anderson (0-0, 0.00) in the opener of a three-game series Monday in Cincinnati. Mikolas is 3-4 with a 5.37 ERA in 14 games against the Reds and has not won in Cincinnati since April 4, 2018.

- The nine-valent HPV vaccine and other blockbuster varieties have been advanced efficiently.
- Cash reserve was nearly RMB 1.5 billion, which provided support to sustainable innovation and commercialization.
- The novel adjuvants vaccine will create a strong growth engine.
TAIZHOU, China, Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Recbio (HKEK:02179), an innovative vaccine company, released its interim result for the fiscal year 2022 in the evening of August 25. During the reporting period, the company efficiently advanced its core products, including nine-valent HPV vaccine and multiple vaccine candidates, and made significant progress. Therefore, the R&D expenses increased by 73.05% to RMB 354 million on a year-on-year basis.
Phase III clinical trials of nine-valent HPV vaccine have been advancing rapidly. The demand for import substitution was strong.
HPV vaccines currently comprise the largest component of Recbio pipeline portfolio, including five bivalent, newly adjuvant-based quadrivalent and nine-valent HPV vaccines. The Phase III clinical trial of recombinant 9-valent HPV vaccine REC603 in China was composed of three parts: main efficacy test, immune bridging test in young age groups, and immunogenicity comparison test with Gardasil 9. The trial was multicenter, randomized, blind and parallel controlled, with a total sample size of 16,050 subjects. This was the largest sample size of nine-valent HPV vaccine in Phase III clinical practice in China. At present, REC603 main efficacy trial is in the follow-up stage according to the protocol, and all subjects have been enrolled and inoculated in the bridging trials in the younger age group and head-to-head immunogenicity bridging trials with Gardasil 9.
Phase I clinical data of REC603 showed that REC603 was safe and well tolerated with good immunogenicity. The high yield and stable expression of HPV virus-like particles can be satisfied by using the Humphrey's yeast expression system, which makes this vaccine candidate more suitable for commercial production.
The demand for HPV vaccines, especially high-end HPV vaccine products, remains strong in China. The total volume of HPV products Gardasil and Gardasil 9 by MSD issued in China in 2021 reached 8.8 million and 10.2 million, respectively. Global sales of Gardasil/Gardasil 9 increased 40% to $5.673 billion, driven by the Chinese market.
At present, no domestic nine-valent HPV vaccine has been approved for sale in China. China continues to face a manufacturing capacity bottleneck for HPV vaccines. It is estimated that 234 million women aged 9 to 45 years will remain unvaccinated by the year of 2025, leaving a gap of 702 million doses assuming a three-dose regimen. Based on the leading Phase III clinical progress, the largest sample size of nine-valent vaccine subjects in China, and the clinical trial site with higher incidence, REC603 is expected to become the first domestic nine-valent HPV vaccine approved for sale, realizing the domestic substitution of imported HPV vaccines and alleviating the situation of " supply falls short of demand ".
In addition to the nine-valent products, REC601, a bivalent HPV vaccine (type 16/18) from Regbio, has completed Phase I clinical trials with data showing good safety and immunogenicity. The bivalent HPV vaccine (type 6/11) REC602 has been in Phase I clinical data analysis. REC602 is the most effective medical intervention for HPV-induced genital warts (male market), which cause high disease burden and have no effective treatment. In addition, Recbio new adjuvant quadrivalent HPV vaccine REC604a has completed preclinical studies and will file an IND in the second half of this year.
With efficient and sustainable business development, the new adjuvant platform has huge potential.
As a whole, the pipeline also covers COVID-19 vaccines, shingles vaccines and other major disease areas which bring great global public health burden. During the reporting period, the recombinant COVID-19 vaccine ReCOV made steady progress. Equipped with BFA03, a new adjuvant independently developed by the company, ReCOV can induce high-titer broad-spectrum neutralizing antibodies and Th1-biased T-cell immune response, which has good cross-neutralizing effect and immune persistence against Omicron, Delta and other variant viruses. At present, the company has carried out international Phase II/III clinical studies in the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates, and obtained clinical approval from China Food and Drug Administration. The Phase II study of the basic immunization of ReCOV in the Philippines is in the data analysis phase. Preliminary data showed that the overall safety and tolerability were pleasing , and no serious vaccine-related adverse reactions occurred. In the Phase II booster immunization study in the Philippines, the immunogenicity study of ReCOV versus Pfizer mRNA vaccine as a positive control took only 2 weeks from the receipt of approval to the completion of vaccination in all subjects. The company plans to submit the EUA simultaneously in China and overseas markets in the second half of 2022 to contribute to the global containment of COVID-19.
During the reporting period, the company's vaccine quality management system also achieved rapid development. The ReCOV production base located in Taizhou has obtained the conformance statement issued by the EU Quality Authorizer (QP), which indicates that the company's Taizhou production base and quality management system comply with the EU GMP standard, and lays a solid foundation for the high-quality development and future international commercialization of ReCOV.
The subsidiary company Recogen took the lead in breaking through the lyophilization process of mRNA vaccines. The world's first lyophilized dosage form mRNA vaccine R520A was designed against Omicron variant and has been approved clinical trails by the Philippines and New Zealand. Preclinical research papers have been published on the preprint platform bioRxiv, and the data show that R520A can be stored and transported at 2-8 degrees Celsius, and has extensive cross-neutralization effect.
New adjuvants have increasingly become an important bottlenecking technology in China's vaccine industry. Through its novel adjuvant development platform, Recbio is able to develop and iterate on FDA-approved adjuvants (AS01, AS03, AS04, MF59, and CpG1018). With this capability, Recbio is not dependent on any specific adjuvant supplier and is able to develop the next generation of novel vaccines with more clinical value. Its recombinant shingles vaccine candidate REC610 uses a novel adjuvant with AS01, which greatly improves cellular immunity. Head-to-head studies have shown that its immunogenicity is not inferior to GSK's Shingrix.
During the reporting period, the company has continuously recruited high-quality talents in an orderly manner, and the staff has rapidly expanded to 478 people. Ms. Wang Jing, Chief Quality Officer, Ms. Feng Yanfei, Chief Business Officer, and other industry experts with rich experience in quality management and global business cooperation have joined Recbio, laying a solid foundation for efficiently promoting the market access and commercialization of candidate vaccines, including nine-valent HPV vaccine REC603 and COVID-19 vaccine ReCOV.
At present, the company's cash reserve is nearly RMB 1.5 billion, which provide support to the company's research and development innovation and sustainable development.
In terms of the execution of the R&D pipeline, cash reserves and the layout of high-end talents, Recbio has made full preparations to realize the commercialization and localization of high-end HPV vaccines and the technical landing of other major diseases.
"In the context of the huge global demand for innovative vaccines, we will accelerate the commercialization process of products in the global market through continuous innovation and international cooperation, and promote the innovation of the whole value chain of product pipeline from R&D to commercialization, so as to create more value for shareholders and investors," said Dr. Yong Liu, founder, Chairman of the Board and general manager of Recbio.

It’s the August Bank Holiday, which means plenty of time for relaxing – whether that looks like a day in bed with Netflix, time spent gardening while the weather’s still nice or hitting the shops.
The August Bank Holiday is also a busy time for a lot of Londoners, as Notting Hill Carnival takes place.
Returning for full force after two years of cancellations because of Covid, the annual celebration of Caribbean culture in the capital started on Saturday, August 27 and ends on Monday, August 29.
However, for Carnival goers and other Londoners wanting to make the most of the extra day off, the London bus strike might slam a brake on plans.
When do the strikes end?
When do the London bus strikes end?
The strikes are only set to take place until the end of August 29.
The planned strikes on August 28 and 29 saw more than 1,000 bus drivers in London over a pay dispute.
Trade union Unite said 1,600 drivers at bus company London United were striking as a result of the workers only being offered a pay increase of 3.6 percent for 2022 and 4.2 percent for 2023.
This amount, they argue, would amount in ‘real terms’ to a ‘pay cut’ because the real inflation rate (RPI) stands at 12.3 percent.
Which services are affected?

Will there be more strikes on the buses or tubes?
While no further action is planned yet, it’s reasonable to assume that if the union don’t get a deal that will satisfy them, further action could take place.
Of the current strike, General secretary Sharon Graham said French firm RATP, who own London United, are ‘an incredibly wealthy’ company that could afford to raise wages.
She said: ‘It [RATP] can fully afford to pay its workers a decent pay increase, but it is refusing to do so.’
‘Our members play a vital role in keeping London moving and they are not going to accept a real terms pay cut when they are already worried about how to make ends meet.’

Eminem and Snoop Dogg shared a comically large joint and turned into animated apes during a MTV Video Music Awards performance that Twitter users weren’t feeling on Sunday.
Eminem revealed last week that he would perform his new collaboration with Snoop Dogg, “From The D 2 The LBC,” in a colorful and flashy performance from “inside the world of the Otherside metaverse.”
The performance featured the two “smoking” a big joint before they were virtually transported into a video-game-like, psychedelic rollercoaster.
The performance was organized by Yuga Labs, an NFT and cryptocurrency business, and it featured the rappers portray animated Bored Ape NFTs.
Eminem reportedly purchased a Bored Ape NFT for roughly $460,000 earlier this year, while Snoop Dogg joined the “Bored Ape Yacht Club” in December 2021.
You can watch a clip of the performance below.
VMAs viewers, however, weren’t digging the two legendary rappers’ Zuckerberg-esque showcase.
Twitter users mockingly compared the performance to the hip-hop video game “Def Jam: Fight for NY” and said the metaverse would “never slay.” | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/eminem-snoop-dogg-metaverse-vmas_n_630c1680e4b0da54bae0ae6f | 2022-08-29T04:31:19Z | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/eminem-snoop-dogg-metaverse-vmas_n_630c1680e4b0da54bae0ae6f | false | 1 |
Replacing A UK Prime Minister Without A General Election
Mohammad Ali (@ChaudhryMAli88) Published August 29, 2022 | 08:40 AM
London, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 29th Aug, 2022 ) :Replacing a prime minister mid-term is far from unusual in Britain and the incumbent's party is under no obligation to call a general election.
In fact, the last prime minister to be voted both in and out at the ballot box by the public was Tory leader Edward Heath, way back in 1974.
- Harold Wilson (1974-1976) Labour party leader Wilson became prime minister for the second time in February 1974, succeeding Heath as head of a minority government.
He won a three-seat majority at a second election in October the same year.
He oversaw a referendum on Britain's continued membership of the European Community, the forerunner to the European Union, until his surprise resignation.
- James Callaghan (1976-1979) Wilson's foreign secretary won the resulting Labour leadership contest.
But industrial unrest and economic woes that dominated the 1970s dogged his time in office.
He was criticised for apparently downplaying it and was defeated by the Tories in the 1979 general election.
- Margaret Thatcher (1979-1990) Thatcher became a Tory icon for breaking the power of the trades unions and implementing her free market policies, winning the 1982 Falklands War and three general election victories.
Her steely reputation at home and abroad earned her the nickname the Iron Lady.
But public opposition to a taxation policy and ideological differences with colleagues about her attitude to Europe soured her time.
Thatcher stepped down as she faced a leadership challenge from senior ministers.
- John Major (1990-1997) Thatcher's finance minister replaced her in the ensuing internal contest and won his own mandate at the ballot box two years later.
But his premiership was beset by a series of sleaze scandals involving senior colleagues, doubts about his stewardship of the economy and growing concern about further European integration.
- Tony Blair (1997-2007) Blair capitalised on disaffection with the Tories to win a landslide victory in 1997.
He was Labour's most successful prime minister, winning elections twice more in 2001 and 2005, and becoming a recognisable global figure.
He rode a wave of optimism in his first years in office but his time at Downing Street was derailed by a loss of trust after the Iraq War.
He stepped down mid-way through his third term under pressure from supporters of his finance minister Gordon Brown to honour a supposed deal to hand over power.
- Gordon Brown (2007-2010) The brooding chancellor of the exchequer won the resulting Labour leadership contest, although the outcome was never in doubt.
But his premiership was cut short by the 2008 global financial crash and its aftermath, as well as his awkward style that failed to convince voters.
- David Cameron (2010-2016) Cameron initially ruled as senior partner in a coalition government with the smaller Liberal Democrats after the 2010 election until he won the Tories an outright majority in 2015.
He sought to quell Tory MPs' disquiet about Europe by calling a referendum on continued membership and campaigned to stay in the bloc.
But the gamble failed and he quit after losing the vote in 2016.
- Theresa May (2016-2019) May was appointed unopposed by the party but the former interior minister's time in power was hit by fierce factional fighting about the shape of Brexit.
She won a general election in 2017 but stepped down after repeatedly failing to get her EU divorce deal through parliament.
- Boris Johnson (2019-2022) The Brexit figurehead won the ensuing leadership contest and cemented his position with a landslide election win in December 2019, taking Britain out of the EU.
But his plans to address regional inequality were upended by Covid and a series of scandals.
One scandal too many lost him the support of senior ministerial colleagues and he resigned in July 2022, triggering the third Tory leadership campaign in six years.

Aug. 28 (UPI) — The U.S. Navy on Sunday sent two warships through the Taiwan Strait, leading Chinese military officials to say the country remains on “high alert.”
The USS Antietam and USS Chancellorsville, two Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers, sailed through a corridor in the strait between Taiwan and China that is beyond the territorial sea of any nation, the U.S. 7th Fleet said in a news release.
The naval demonstration was the first such exercise by the United States since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan earlier this month.
“The ship’s transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the United States’ commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific,” the statement from the 7th Fleet reads.
“The United States military flies, sails and operates anywhere international law allows.”
Col. Shi Yi, a representative of China’s Eastern Theater Command, confirmed the American ships had sailed through the strait.
“The Chinese People’s Liberation Army Eastern Theater followed the whole process of the crossing operation of the U.S. ships,” Shi said in a statement to the Chinese social media platform Weibo.
“Everything is under control. Theater forces remain on high alert, ready to thwart any provocation at all times.”
The Taiwan Strait separates mainland China and Taiwan, a self-governing republic claimed by China.
Mainland China and the island of Taiwan, among other islands, were ruled by the Republic of China before the ROC lost the Chinese Civil War in the early 20th century to the Chinese Communist Party, which established the new government of the People’s Republic of China in October 1949.
The ROC in turn established a temporary capital in Taipei on the island of Taiwan, a former Japanese territory, in December 1949 and served as the seat for China at the United Nations until it was replaced by the People’s Republic of China in 1971 as foreign countries switched their diplomatic relations.
China views Taiwan and its 23 million residents as a wayward province and has vowed to retake it by force, if necessary. Many supporters of Taiwan have since argued that it is an independent sovereign state separate from mainland China, which has never controlled Taiwan.
Earlier this month, Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan sparked a military response from the Chinese government, which then conducted daily drills, including conducting a possible simulated attack and launching several ballistic missiles into waters near Taiwan.
Pelosi’s trip also sparked criticism from former President Donald Trump who said during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas that the top lawmaker “played right into their hands.”
“Now they have an excuse to do what they’re going to do,” Trump said at the time.
Two weeks after Pelosi’s visit, Sen. Ed Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, led a bipartisan congressional delegation to Taiwan to meet with senior leaders of the self-governed island to discuss relations with the United States and regional security, among other issues. | https://gephardtdaily.com/national-international/u-s-navy-sends-warships-through-taiwan-strait-putting-china-on-high-alert/ | 2022-08-29T04:35:06Z | https://gephardtdaily.com/national-international/u-s-navy-sends-warships-through-taiwan-strait-putting-china-on-high-alert/ | false | 2 |

NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that a federal securities class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (“Co-Dx” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CODX) on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased the publicly traded securities of Co-Dx during the period May 12, 2022 through the close of the market on August 11, 2022 inclusive (the “Class Period”).
All investors who purchased the shares of Co-Diagnostics, Inc. and incurred losses are advised to contact the firm immediately at classmember@whafh.com or (800) 575-0735 or (212) 545-4774. You may obtain additional information concerning the action or join the case on our website, www.whafh.com.
If you have incurred losses in Co-Diagnostics, Inc. you may, no later than October 17, 2022, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class. Please contact Wolf Haldenstein to learn more about your rights as an investor in Co-Diagnostics, Inc.
PLEASE CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE CASE
The filed Complaint alleges that on April 6, 2020, Co-Dx announced that it had received an Emergency Use Authorization for its Logix Smart™ COVID-19 detection test from the Food and Drug Administration, allowing it to commence sales of the test to laboratories certified by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Clinical Laboratories Improvements Act (“CLIA”) to accept human samples for diagnostics testing throughout the United States.
The Complaint further alleges that during the Class Period, Defendants repeatedly touted its Logix Smart™ COVID-19 Test, reassuring investors about the demand for the product. At the same time, Defendants failed to disclose that:
- demand for its Logix Smart™ COVID-19 Test had plummeted throughout the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and;
- as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the demand for its Logix Smart™ COVID-19 Test lacked a reasonable basis.
On August 11, 2022, after the close of trading, Co-Dx shocked investors when the Company issued a press release and filed a report with the SEC on Form 8-K that disclosed its financial results for the quarter and June 30, 2022, in which the Company disclosed revenue of $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, down from $27.4 million during the prior year period, a decline of almost 82%. The Company primarily attributed the decrease to lower demand of the Logix Smart™ COVID-19 Test.
On this news, the price of Co-Dx’s common stock declined $1.98, greater than 30%, from a closing price of $6.46 per share on August 11, 2022, to close at $4.48 per share on August 12, 2022.
Wolf Haldenstein has extensive experience in the prosecution of securities class actions and derivative litigation in state and federal trial and appellate courts across the country. The firm has attorneys in various practice areas; and offices in New York, Chicago and San Diego. The reputation and expertise of this firm in shareholder and other class litigation has been repeatedly recognized by the courts, which have appointed it to major positions in complex securities multi-district and consolidated litigation.
If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions regarding your rights and interests in this case, please immediately contact Wolf Haldenstein by telephone at (800) 575-0735 or via e-mail at classmember@whafh.com

Nawaz Sharif urges affluent people to donate generously for flood victims
PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif on Sunday appealed to affluent people to generously donate and help flood victims across Pakistan.
In a televised message, Nawaz Sharif directed all party leaders and activists to get involved in the relief efforts for flood victims as it was not the time for politics.
He hailed Nawaz Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s efforts during the time of catastrophe and said that PML-N’s vice-president Maryam Nawaz is also going to review ongoing relief work. She will also visit flood-hit areas, Nawaz Sharif added.
The former prime minister said that it is time to revisit actions as floods were a huge natural catastrophe.
“Thousands of people have died and millions are left homeless,” he said and emphasized that it was the time to generously help the victims.
He also appealed to set up relief camps for flood affectees and has asked to provide them with tents to ensure shelter.
Distressed people are awaiting your help, as floods of biblical proportions have destroyed everything, he said.
The ex-PM urged his party workers and the nation to donate to those in need. | https://www.samaaenglish.tv/news/40015617/nawaz-sharif-urges-affluent-people-to-donate-generously-for-flood-victims | 2022-08-29T04:47:02Z | https://www.samaaenglish.tv/news/40015617/nawaz-sharif-urges-affluent-people-to-donate-generously-for-flood-victims | false | 1 |
NEAL CONAN, host:
Regular listeners will not be surprised when I report that I've been to a few Major League Baseball games - okay, a lot of Major League Baseball games. And at each and every one, I stand fully prepared to elbow aside small children and push down grandmothers if that will help me catch a foul ball. Once, just once in my life, it happened for me.
Three seasons ago, a part-time New York Yankee infielder named Craig Wilson dribbled a grounder right to my seat behind third base. As I leaned over and grabbed it, my cell phone fell out of my shirt pocket, but somehow logic dictated that an $8 baseball was well worth the loss of a Razr. As it turned out, third base coach Larry Bowa picked up my phone and handed it back, so I could immediately start calling everybody I knew.
We suspect that some of you have foul ball stories of your own. And with the World Series set to get underway tomorrow night in the Bronx, we'd like to hear them. Our phone number is 800-989-8255. Email us: talk@npr.org. You can also join the conversation on our Web site. That's at npr.org. Click on TALK OF THE NATION.
Zach Hample knows a thing or two about the art of catching a baseball in the stands. He has over 4,000 Major League baseballs to his name, and swears he has not come home empty handed from a game since 1993. Zach Hample joins us from our bureau in New York. His book is called "How to Snag Major League Baseballs." Zach, nice to have you with us on the program today.
Mr. ZACH HAMPLE (Author, "How to Snag Major League Baseballs"): Thanks for having me.
CONAN: So, how do you position yourself to catch a foul ball?
Mr. HAMPLE: Well, it would certainly help if I had tickets like you and I could sit in the front row down the third baseline. That's certainly a great spot.
CONAN: Every once in a while. It was a - that was just a great seat, and I was so lucky.
Mr. HAMPLE: Well, I should point out one thing, that I don't have over 4,000 foul balls during games. I - the total of over 4,000 includes batting practice. So, you know, it's one of those things. I have caught 124 foul balls during games over the course of my baseball-snagging career. Just wanted to clear that up for the record.
CONAN: Okay. Well, batting practices, obviously, you show up a couple of hours early and it's a lot of fun to watch batting practice. And boy, they smack them into the stands - almost all in fair territory, though.
Mr. HAMPLE: They certainly do. And whether you're going for a homerun ball, a foul ball, during BP or the game itself, one of the most important things is to make sure that you actually have some room to maneuver. You don't want to ever be trapped in the middle of a long row of fans.
CONAN: Mm-hmm.
Mr. HAMPLE: And if you happen to go to a stadium where they have a cross aisle that runs through the seats that provides for some lateral movement, that is key. You want to try to sit as close to that aisle as possible, because the odds of a ball coming directly to you are pretty slim. And then, of course, if there's someone crazy like you who's going to be throwing elbows, even if it does come to you, you might not have a chance to get it.
CONAN: And I suppose your odds go up if you wanted to go a, I don't know, a late August game that the Florida Marlins are playing when they're in last place.
Mr. HAMPLE: Yes. Or the Orioles or the Pirates or, you know, the - all those teams. It's kind of a tricky situation for me. I actually don't have a favorite team, but I grew up rooting for the Mets. And in 1993, when they were in the process of losing 103 games, I should have been miserable. But I realized, the more they lost, they fewer fans actually wanted to go to Shea Stadium, and I realized I had less competition that way.
So I was kind of torn between rooting for the Mets and rooting for my own personal gain. But…
CONAN: I spent two delicious summers unemployed living in Queens, and they happen to be the summers that the Yankees and the Mets shared Shea Stadium.
Mr. HAMPLE: Oh, my.
CONAN: And so there was a game there almost every single day. And for $1.30, you'd get a seat in the upper stands. But, boy, the upper tier of a three-tiered stadium is not the place to be to get a foul ball.
Mr. HAMPLE: Generally not. Though, Yankee Stadium, the old stadium, the front of the upper deck was actually pretty close down compared to other upper decks. So there were balls…
CONAN: If you didn't suffer from vertigo.
Mr. HAMPLE: Well, yeah. It was also pretty steep, too. So sometimes you have to risk other factors.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. HAMPLE: I mean, you have to risk bodily harm and sit out in the rain if it's pouring because, again, the fake fans will be hiding underneath the overhang in the concourse. If you're willing to sit out there and get drenched down in the actual seating bowl, you can really pick up a few extra souvenirs that way.
CONAN: And we've got some listeners on the phone who have foul ball stories or maybe homerun stories of their own, or BP stories. 800-989-8255. Email us: talk@npr.org.
Steve(ph) is on the line. Steve, calling from Cleveland.
STEVE (Caller): I'm calling from Cleveland, Ohio.
CONAN: Yeah. Go ahead. Where did you get your ball?
STEVE: Oh, in the bad old days, same thing in Cleveland. They didn't count the house, they named them so we didn't have a lot of competition. And one day, we found ourselves sitting in the front row on the first baseline - my little 7-year-old son at that time. And he had his baseball glove with him. And it was cold day, so there were even fewer people in the stands and there happened to be this foul ball just laying on the warning track in front of us and everybody was lusting after it.
So between innings, the first base umpire, who happened to be Al Clark, walked over, picked up the ball and put it in his pocket which made us all sad. But a moment later, he came over to my son and he said, hey son, let me see your mitt. My son gave him his mitt. The umpire put it on his glove and pounded it, you know, pounded the pocket a couple of times and said, nice mitt son, and gave it back to him. Then when he opened it up, the ball was inside the mitt.
CONAN: Oh, that's a nice story.
Mr. HAMPLE: Nice.
CONAN: Yeah. That was in the days when the umpires were still American League umpires and National League umpires. And I do remember somebody asking, as they announced Al Clark umpiring at first base, how come he got to have his name on his hat?
(Soundbite of laughter)
STEVE: Al. Right.
CONAN: Steve, thanks very much.
STEVE: Oh, my pleasure.
CONAN: Your son, I bet, still has that ball.
STEVE: Oh, you bet you.
CONAN: You bet you. Thanks very much.
Mr. HAMPLE: And, you know, there's another way to get baseballs from umpires. Think about it: The umpires have to enter and exit the field before the game. And at the end of the game, the home plate umpire will probably have a few extra baseballs in the pouches on his hip. And if you know where those umpires exit the field and if you can actually get past security, or if you're lucky enough to have a ticket down in the front row there, you can very well get that umpire to hand you a ball on his way out.
CONAN: But it's not a game-used ball.
Mr. HAMPLE: You know, it's true. It would be a game-rubbed ball with mud.
(Soundbite of laughter)
CONAN: From the Delaware River, yes, indeed.
Mr. HAMPLE: You know, and there's just so many different ways to connect to the game. Some people like to keep score and some people play fantasy baseball. And for me and so many other people, we just - we love to take home a part of it. And that's really the allure of the whole thing.
CONAN: Do you keep track of who hit every ball you've got?
Mr. HAMPLE: I try to. Sometimes, you know, if I am there before the game and players - if I'm way out in the outfield, 400 feet from home plate and players are wearing their warm-up jerseys over their uniform numbers I - if I can't identify a guy based on his batting stance, then I won't know who hit it. But I do keep very detailed statistics and just information on my computer and on my blog about this. So, yeah, it's very well-documented.
CONAN: And let's talk to Gary(ph). Gary with us from Jackson, Wyoming.
GARY (Caller): Yeah. Well, I'm a Yankees fan. This is actually a Mets World Series story. In 1973, I was 14 years old, and my dad happened to get four seats to the World Series. I've got two other brothers so there are five us in our family and only four of us could go. And we happened to get - they put two temporary rows of seats on the first base and third baselines. So we were in second row, almost right down on the field and Gene Tenace of the Oakland A's hit a pop fly right to me. The only foul ball that's ever come even close to me in my entire life. I had it in the palm of my hand and someone knocked me down from behind and it fell out of my hand and started rolling down the aisle. And only then did I look up and realize that it was my dad who was crawling down the aisle to…
(Soundbite of laughter)
GARY: …get the ball for my younger brother who wasn't at the game.
CONAN: Oh.
GARY: And he got the ball and we have it to this day.
CONAN: And you know, is it in one of those cubes and you know that Gene Tenace was the guy who hit it?
GARY: I know that Gene Tenace was the guy that hit it. I don't believe it's in one of those cubes. It's just is a baseball that we've got somewhere in, you know, in my brother's house somewhere lying around. But the story lives with us forever.
CONAN: And your father proud of getting that ball for you.
GARY: He's proud of getting that ball. Even though he did have to knock me down. I don't think he had any qualms about it.
(Soundbite of laughter)
CONAN: No truth to the rumor that I was at that game.
(Soundbite of laughter)
CONAN: Thanks very much, Gary.
Mr. HAMPLE: Nice.
GARY: Thanks a lot.
CONAN: Bye-bye. This email from Michael(ph) in San Rafael. I've always dreamed of how I could die happy: If I were ever to find an ancient Roman coin while walking on a beach in Italy. Catching a foul ball at a Major League game would be a close substitute.
And this from David(ph) in Cincinnati: Catching foul balls is easy. Real fans aspire to catch homeruns. I have a homerun ball hit by late Kirby Puckett of the Minnesota Twins on July 20th, 1987. I was sitting in centerfield and I still remember how the lights were reflecting off the ball as it lofted toward me. It glanced off my hand and landed at my feet where I snatched it immediately. The ball still sits on my dresser.
And I wonder, Zach Hample, how many of your balls are homerun balls?
Mr. HAMPLE: I've gotten 11 homerun balls during games. One of them was tossed up by an outfielder after it bounced back down onto the field, so that one kind of has an asterisk in my book. But a few of my homeruns were pretty important baseballs. Like, for example, I caught Barry Bonds' 724th career homerun.
CONAN: Wow.
Mr. HAMPLE: I also caught the last Mets homerun ever hit at Shea Stadium, and two of the last 10 ever hit at the old Yankee Stadium.
CONAN: And what is the art of catching a homerun ball? You just have to be in the right place at the right time?
Mr. HAMPLE: Well, that's certainly part of it. There's a lot of luck involved. But as Branch Rickey said, luck is the residue of design. Positioning is obviously a huge part of it. And one thing that helps -and, again, this can apply to foul balls as well as homeruns - you can really try to think like a manager or a scout, and think about all the different factors. For example, I always pay close attention to the pitching match up. Are there lefties pitching? Are there righties pitching? Because managers prefer to stack their line-ups with batters who hit from the opposite side of the plate from which the pitcher throws.
So if there are two lefties going, for example, there'll be a lot of right-handed batters in the line up. All the switch hitters will be batting righty. So if you're going for a homerun, well, most batters pull homeruns, righties would be hitting homeruns to left field. But foul balls generally - they're a result of the batter swinging late and underneath the ball, so they'd go to the opposite side, like the first base side of the stadium. So you can really pick your spots according to the pitching match-ups and other factors as well.
CONAN: Let's talk with Chris(ph). Chris, with us from San Francisco.
CHRIS (Caller): Hi. I'm actually calling about a foul ball story in Japan. I was with my junior high school exchange program for three weeks when we were in the Kansai area in Kyoto and Hiroshima. But I think it was the Hiroshima Carps versus the Yakult Swallows. Anyways, a foul ball was hit over near our group. And my buddy and I ran over. He's the one who actually picked it up. But the big surprising thing after we were so excited about getting this foul ball is that the ushers came and made us give the ball back.
CONAN: No.
CHRIS: They wouldn't allow you to keep the ball.
Mr. HAMPLE: Oh, yeah. They do that in Japan.
CONAN: Why? Well, they can't afford another $8-ball?
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. HAMPLE: They actually used to do that here in this country, as well. Fans were not allowed to keep foul balls. At the turn of the 20th century actually, there was an actual rule that teams could put employees in the stands to retrieve foul balls from the fans who caught them. And…
CONAN: Well, profit margins were a little lower those days and they hadn't quite realized that if you - a fan gets a foul ball, he's a fan for life.
Mr. HAMPLE: Exactly. Well, things changed over the first couple of decades of the 20th century. And thank God for that because I might not be talking to you otherwise.
CONAN: Chris?
CHRIS: Yes. This was during the bubble economy in Japan, so it certainly wasn't a financial issue. But I think they still have that rule today, although I'm not certain.
CONAN: All right. Chris, thanks very much for the call. Appreciate it.
CHRIS: Thank you.
CONAN: We're talking with Zach Hample who's collected more than 4,300 balls from Major League ballparks. A lot of them in batting practice but some, as he's mentioned, famous homeruns. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.
And let's go next to Kathy(ph). Kathy, with us from Waupaca, is that right, in Wisconsin?
KATHY (Caller): Well, it's called Waupaca - Indian name.
CONAN: Okay.
KATHY: I caught a - well, it wasn't exactly a foul ball, but I caught it at Royal Stadium in June of 1983. This was when Bill Caudill was pitching for the Seattle Mariners. And his nickname was the inspector. So I brought a stuffed pink panther that I had to the game with me. And we were about the only Mariners' fans in Royal Stadium that day. And he yelled, hey, hey, and sees the panther. And so, I - he threw me a baseball, and I caught it in the stands. I still have that ball.
CONAN: And if he'd shown that kind of accuracy, he might have a longer career.
Mr. HAMPLE: Ooh.
KATHY: I think he hurt his arm, something like that.
CONAN: Oh, well. Yeah, yeah. Too bad. You still have that ball. And you will always remember the name of Bill Caudill.
KATHY: Darn right.
CONAN: Yeah. That's great a story.
KATHY: Oh, thanks.
CONAN: Bye-bye, Kathy.
Mr. HAMPLE: And, you know, that's a good point that Kathy brought up - getting baseball's tossed by the players and coaches is certainly a great way to actually get one. You know, you do it in baby steps. You show up at batting practice, you get a ball tossed to you. Maybe the next time, you try to get a homerun ball that might land in the seats, then you work your way up to the game itself, go for a foul ball maybe. And then the big money. That's the actual game homerun ball.
CONAN: And there are places, as she mentioned, Royal Stadium in Kansas City, that's - there's this big grassy area in dead centerfield, the so-called batter's eye, which is supposed to be kept blank, so the batter can see the ball coming out of the pitcher's hand. Nevertheless, a lot of homerun balls land there and you see people scrambling over the wall and running out under the grass to see if they can get it.
Mr. HAMPLE: Yup. I think that's at the ballpark in Arlington, right?
CONAN: The ballpark in Arlington has one of those…
Mr. HAMPLE: Texas Rangers.
CONAN: Texas Rangers' ballpark.
Mr. HAMPLE: Right. Kansas City, that's a fantastic stadium. They renovated this year. And I actually set my one-game record, most baseballs including batting practice: 32.
CONAN: Wow.
Mr. HAMPLE: Yeah. I had a great three-game series, 59 balls in three games.
CONAN: Do you bring your glove to every game?
Mr. HAMPLE: Oh, absolutely. Oh, yeah. And, you know, people will say, that, oh, if you're 12 years old, you shouldn't bring your glove, but come on, all these baseballs that I caught, I would not have - I definitely would not have caught the Barry Bonds homerun without a glove. Definitely would not have caught the last Mets homerun at Shea without a glove because it was so crowded. And a lot of times, the glove just gives you a few extra inches of reach. With the Bonds homerun, I was leaning as far as I possibly could over a railing and caught the ball in the very tip of the glove. So if I'm barehanded, there's no way I come home with that ball.
CONAN: Let's talk with Ellen(ph). Ellen on the line from Kansas City.
ELLEN (Caller): Yes, hi.
CONAN: Hi.
ELLEN: My husband took my daughter to a game a couple of years ago. She was about 8. And a couple innings in, he sent me text message on my phone - shows Levee(ph) holding a foul ball. And a couple innings later, he sends me another picture, she's holding two. A couple innings later, she's holding three.
CONAN: Wow.
ELLEN: Three in one game. I think she ended up giving the third one to another kid at the game.
CONAN: Ellen, is your daughter still single? And Zach, are you looking for a date?
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. HAMPLE: I'm all set for now. But thank you.
ELLEN: She's just 10.
CONAN: Well, I'm sure he's willing to wait for a skill like that.
Mr. HAMPLE: That's pretty good.
ELLEN: Okay. We'll put her on hold.
CONAN: Ellen, thanks very much for the call. Tell your daughter congratulations.
ELLEN: Thanks.
CONAN: Here's an email from Todd(ph) in Denver. My company has the seats right behind the visitors' dugout at Coors Field in Colorado. I have gotten to a handful of games each year. In my first in those seats, Shawn Green, then the first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, threw me a ball as he was coming into the dugout. I got the ball and looked down at this six-year-old kid that had puppy dog eyes and I gave him the ball. In the years since, that same kid has gotten at least two balls each game I have been to from various players and coaches at the end of each inning. Worse still, his younger brother is now getting into the act - bitter, bitter, bitter. Do you remember who hit the first ball you got Zach Sample(ph)?
Mr. HAMPLE: It was actually thrown to me during batting practice at Shea Stadium. It was by a pitcher on the Mets, and I don't remember who unfortunately. The first foul ball I ever got - kind of a funny story: 1922, Shea Stadium, it was hit Darren Fletcher, a lefty and I was over on the third base side. The ball landed a few rows behind me. I sort of turned and bent down and looked over my seat behind me, and amazingly I saw the ball trickling right down the steps towards me. So I lunged and grabbed it. And then having seen fans celebrate their foul ball snags on TV, I decided to jump up and hold up the ball triumphantly. But unfortunately, I had forgotten that I ducked underneath an orange metal railing. And just whacked the back of my head while standing up. So throbbing pain but jubilation at the same time.
CONAN: Held onto that baseball.
Mr. HAMPLE: Oh, you know it.
CONAN: All right. Zach Hample, thank you so much for your time today.
Mr. HAMPLE: It's a pleasure to be here.
CONAN: Zach Hample, I assume you're on your way out to Yankee Stadium tomorrow?
Mr. HAMPLE: …have a ticket yet, but I'm working on it.
CONAN: Zach Hample, with us from our bureau in New York. His book is called "How to Snag Major League Baseballs," and we mentioned he joined us from our bureau in New York. And good luck getting that World Series ticket.
Tomorrow, so Baby Einstein didn't make your baby smart, we'll tell you what might. Join us tomorrow for that.

Baghpat: A video clip of a 10-year-old boy, carrying the body of his two-year-old brother in his arms has gone viral on social media, leading to public outrage.
The boy, Sagar Kumar, can be seen walking with the body, followed closely by his father. They had picked up the body from the post-mortem house in the hospital.
According to police, the two-year-old child, Kala Kumar, was crushed to death on Friday after his stepmother Sita allegedly threw him under a car near a bank in Baghpat, on the Delhi-Saharanpur highway, because he was crying incessantly.
Circle officer of Baghpat, Devendra Kumar Sharma, said, “Locals informed us, after which a case was registered against the woman under relevant sections of the IPC and she was arrested. The body of the boy was sent to the post-mortem house at the hospital.”
The body was handed over to his father, Praveen Kumar, who is a daily wage labourer in Shamli district, after the autopsy.
Praveen was accompanied by his relative Rampal and his son Sagar.
Rampal alleged that Praveen repeatedly requested a health official to provide a vehicle to carry the body. “However, they did not pay any heed to his request,” he said. | https://www.siasat.com/denied-ambulance-10-yr-old-carries-brothers-body-in-up-district-2400768/ | 2022-08-29T04:54:31Z | https://www.siasat.com/denied-ambulance-10-yr-old-carries-brothers-body-in-up-district-2400768/ | false | 7 |

HONG KONG, Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Forbes China recently released its "2022 China ESG 50" list. Fosun International has been included on the list for its outstanding ESG performance and its active contribution to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Forbes China pointed out that ESG is still in its infancy in China, and the 50 selected companies are all pioneers in the field of ESG.
Forbes China: Fosun International is One of the Pioneers in the Field of ESG
This year is the first year that Forbes China has released the "China ESG 50" list, which seeks to highlight the best practices of domestic enterprises in the field of ESG. Forbes China pointed out that with the promotion of the United Nations, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the three core indicators of ESG: environmental, social, and corporate governance have become important standards for enterprises to promote sustainable development. Adhering to the ESG framework and principles of the United Nations, the "China ESG 50" list includes 50 Chinese enterprises that took the lead in ESG from the Forbes Global 2000 list (ranked according to four metrics: sales, profits, assets and market value of global listed companies in the current year) in 2022.
According to Forbes China, the purpose of ESG is to no longer limit corporate valuation to objective data such as financial data and performance, but to take subjective factors such as the environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance into account, so as to determine and assess the sustainable development and social responsibility of enterprises. Forbes China considers Fosun International as one of the pioneers in the ESG field. As a globalized enterprise, while actively creating business value, Fosun has been fulfilling its corporate social responsibility through social welfare projects such as supporting the combat against the pandemic, assisting in the fight against malaria in Africa, Rural Doctors Program, fostering education, culture promotion, and entrepreneurial support.
Fosun's Anti-pandemic and Anti-malaria Efforts Demonstrate its Corporate Social Responsibility
Since the COVD-19 outbreak in early 2020, Fosun has immediately initiated the global deployment of medical supplies to provide strong support for China and overseas to fight against the pandemic. In addition to the urgent deployment of protective materials to assist countries and regions affected by the pandemic, Fosun also partnered with BioNTech, a German biotechnology company, to jointly develop the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (COMIRNATY®, also known as BNT162b2), providing a strong support for defeating the pandemic. In addition, Fosun has participated in the joint construction of a "malaria-free world" for more than 15 years. As the first Chinese pharmaceutical brand well recognized in Africa, Artesun® (artesunate for injection), self-developed and manufactured by Fosun Pharma, has been used to treat over 48 million severe malaria patients worldwide by the end of 2021.
Contribute to Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality, Act as a Responsible Global Citizen
2021 marks the first year of Fosun's carbon neutrality. Centered around the national "carbon neutrality" strategy, the Group has set a carbon reduction target — "to achieve carbon emissions peak by 2028 and carbon neutrality by 2050" and has formulated effective strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation to align with 1.5°C temperature control target set in the Paris Agreement. To further advance Fosun's carbon peak and carbon neutrality targets, Fosun has established a Carbon Neutrality Committee and a Carbon Neutrality Working Group to actively promote the implementation and enforcement of carbon neutral management across the Group.
Fosun has Established a Sound Risk Management System and Top-down Long-term ESG Mechanism to Lead the Company's Sustainable Development
Forbes China said that in ESG investing, apart from climate and environmental issues such as carbon neutrality, corporate sustainability and the corporate social responsibility cannot be ignored. Large enterprises, which have sound internal and external management systems, focus on social responsibility and especially disclose ESG information in a timely manner, often attract more attention from investment institutions. In addition to Fosun International's active efforts and contributions in environmental and social responsibility, it also strives to establish a good ESG management system to continuously improve the company's sustainable operation. Forbes China specifically mentioned that in terms of corporate governance, Fosun International has established risk management and internal monitoring systems targeted for risk management and control. It has also formulated an enterprise risk management plan, implementing proactive ex-ante, in-process and ex-post risk management, and building a systematic tiered risk management system that empowers and adds value to itself, providing an important guarantee to achieve strategic and business objectives.
In order to ensure the smooth and continuous progress of ESG work, Fosun has established a top-down and long-term mechanism for ESG improvement. Fosun includes ESG management performance as an evaluation factor in the Executive Directors' performance assessment and remuneration assessment. To further improve the ESG management system, Fosun has set up an ESG Board Committee under the Board of Directors (the "Board"), at the management and decision level, Fosun has established an ESG Executive Committee under the management, at the implementation level, Fosun has also set up an ESG Management Committee and an ESG Working Group to fully implement ESG strategies and related actions.
Fosun, which is about to turn 30 this year, will continue to uphold its original aspirations of developing its business for good and "Contribution to Society", actively shoulder more social responsibilities, implement ESG strategies, constantly create value and give back to the society, helping to promote high-quality development and common prosperity. With the global trend of promoting carbon neutrality, carbon emissions reduction and the sustainable development of the earth, Fosun will continue to actively cooperate with its member companies to promote the implementation of ESG strategies, especially in the areas of carbon emissions peak, carbon neutrality, energy conservation and consumption reduction, and actively promote the sustainable development of the Group.

With her famed Berkeley, Calif., restaurant, Alice Waters helped give rise to a new cuisine based on locally grown, seasonal ingredients. Waters and her biographer discuss what has made the Chez Panisse such an offbeat and memorable place to eat for more than three decades.
Looking back, Waters would say it all began for her with a bowl of cafe au lait. As a student on a sojourn to Paris during the 1960s, Waters had never sipped anything so good. Soon, trips to the French countryside introduced her to the power and pleasure of local foods: mussels just off the boat, freshly pressed virgin olive oil.
Waters came back to Berkeley transformed. She hatched a plan to convert a run-down old house into an elegant bistro.
Opening night was in August 1971.
"I didn't know what to expect when we opened," Waters says. "I hadn't worked in a restaurant and ... I was still hammering the rug in on the stairs as people were coming in the front door."
The opening-night menu featured a rarity for those days — farm-raised fresh duck, instead of the frozen variety.
"So from that very first night, there was a difference in the raw materials served as Chez Panisse," says Thomas McNamee, author of the new biography, Alice Waters and Chez Panisse: The Romantic, Impractical, Often Eccentric, Ultimately Brilliant Making of a Food Revolution.
.
On that first night, Waters positioned herself where she always wanted to be — in the front, greeting and mingling with the diners. Back in the kitchen would be a succession of creative and colorful chefs.
One of the most outsized talents was Jeremiah Tower. Among Tower's qualifications: He was taught by an Aborigine in Australia to roast barracuda and wild parrots on the beach.
"He was a swashbuckler and he loved to do things in very complicated ways," McNamee says of Tower. "Both he and Alice shared an enthusiasm for the best ingredients. Jeremiah tended to go for the baroque in terms of preparation, and Alice tended to go for greater simplicity. That created conflict, but the conflict, in turn, became a synthesis."
This baroque sensibility led to menus like one in honor of Salvador Dali featuring a cannibal parfait. And one menu where every dish contained a single wine, sauterne.
There was imbibing in the kitchen as well. In the first year alone, $30,000 worth of wine was unaccounted for.
While many chefs have come and gone, one constant at Chez Panisse has been the growers. One of Waters' innovations is cultivating personal relationships with organic farmers.
Waters uses a network of growers, some of whom specialize in one thing — for example, peaches grown from one tree that might be picked in a single week in July.
Thirty-five years on, Alice Waters hopes to impart this intimate approach to food to a new generation. Through her Chez Panisse Foundation, she's created a garden-to-table project called the Edible Schoolyard, which began with a middle school in Berkeley where students grow their own food.
In a world of fast food and childhood obesity, the project aims to lure children into eating right.
"We have to create a circumstance that is really irresistible," Waters says. "And fortunately, nature is irresistible."

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s new moon rocket remained on track to blast off on a crucial test flight Monday, despite a series of lightning strikes at the launch pad.
The 322-foot (98-meter) Space Launch System rocket is the most powerful ever built by NASA. It’s poised to send an empty crew capsule into lunar orbit, a half-century after NASA’s Apollo program, which landed 12 astronauts on the moon.
Astronauts could return to the moon in a few years, if this six-week test flight goes well. NASA officials caution, however, that the risks are high and the flight could be cut short.
In lieu of astronauts, three test dummies are strapped into the Orion capsule to measure vibration, acceleration and radiation, one of the biggest hazards to humans in deep space. The capsule alone has more than 1,000 sensors.
Officials said Sunday that neither the rocket nor capsule suffered any damage during Saturday’s thunderstorm; ground equipment also was unaffected. Five strikes were confirmed, hitting the 600-foot (183-meter) lightning-protection towers surrounding the rocket at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The strikes weren’t strong enough to warrant major retesting.
“Clearly, the system worked as designed,” said Jeff Spaulding, NASA’s senior test director.
More storms were expected. Although forecasters gave 80% odds of acceptable weather Monday morning, conditions were expected to deteriorate during the two-hour launch window.
On the technical side, Spaulding said the team did its best over the past several months to eliminate any lingering fuel leaks. A pair of countdown tests earlier this year prompted repairs to leaking valves and other faulty equipment; engineers won’t know if all the fixes are good until just a few hours before the planned liftoff. If Monday doesn’t pan out, the next launch attempt would be Friday.
After so many years of delays and setbacks, the launch team was thrilled to finally be so close to the inaugural flight of the Artemis moon-exploration program, named after Apollo’s twin sister in Greek mythology.
“We’re within 24 hours of launch right now, which is pretty amazing for where we’ve been on this journey,” Spaulding told reporters.
The follow-on Artemis flight, as early as 2024, would see four astronauts flying around the moon. A landing could follow in 2025. NASA is targeting the moon’s unexplored south pole, where permanently shadowed craters are believed to hold ice that could be used by future crews.

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Council has resolved to dismiss any student who participates in the organisation of “morale” or processions on campus.
A press release from the University Council and copied to the Ghana News Agency, signed by A. K. Boateng, the Registrar and Secretary to the Council, after its meeting on Friday, August 26, 2022, said the Junior Common Room (JCR) hall management system by students had been abolished, thus, there would be no more students’ elections for hall executives.
“The existing governance system of Hall Councils, Hall Masters and Senior Tutors would continue to operate in the management of the attains of the Halls,” it said.
The decisions are among six measures taken by the Council following the recent violent clashes between students of the University Hall and Unity Hall during a procession, which led to damage to some vehicles.
The KNUST clash ensued when students of Unity Hall refused to allow students of University Hall to use a route in front of their Hall for a procession.
The disturbances, which started around 1700 hours on Thursday, August 18, 2022, led to some school and private properties being vandalized.
“In addition, Hall Fellows will be appointed and assigned to floors or blocks of Halls to exercise direct supervision over matters affecting students,” the Council added.
The Council also resolved that Hall weeks and SRC week celebrations had been suspended indefinitely and warned that students who indulged in any act, which would warrant dismissal, would have their names and pictures widely published in the National Dailies and on the University website.
Also, students caught harbouring dismissed students or alumna in their rooms in any of the Halls of Residence on Campus would be sanctioned appropriately.
At the meeting, the Council decided that students found culpable in the recent clash would be dealt with according to the rules of the University and those requiring further prosecution by the State would be handed over to the Police. | https://newsghana.com.gh/students-engaged-in-knust-morale-processions-will-be-dismissed/ | 2022-08-29T05:03:35Z | https://newsghana.com.gh/students-engaged-in-knust-morale-processions-will-be-dismissed/ | true | 2 |
Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O' Rourke said Sunday he is taking a break from the campaign trail after contracting a bacterial infection.
O' Rourke said he began feeling sick on Friday and was diagnosed with the infection at the Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, where he received antibiotics.
"While my symptoms have improved, I will be resting at home in El Paso in accordance with the doctors' recommendations," he tweeted Sunday.
O'Rourke, who is running against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in the November election, said he will have to postpone some events due to his illness, but will be back on the campaign trail as soon as possible.
O'Rourke recently made headlines while on the campaign trail in North Texas when he swore at a heckler during a campaign rally. He was speaking to a crowd in Mineral Wells, Texas, about the mass shooting in Uvalde, where a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers, when a member in the audience began to laugh, NPR member station Houston Public Media reported.
O'Rourke quickly spun around and pointed at the heckler and said, "It may be funny to you, motherf*****, but it's not funny to me, OK."
The crowd immediately began cheering in support of O'Rourke's snappy interjection.

Rhaenyra, meet your new mommy.
As House of the Dragon’s second episode gets underway, not even six months have passed since Queen Aemma’s bloody, futile death. But nearly everyone in King Viserys’ orbit spends most of the episode buzzing in his ear, telling him how he must remarry — and soon — with one adviser evenoffering up a very young daughter as a potential bride.
If you’ve read Fire & Blood, you already know who is chosen to become the new queen. But let’s all run through the highlights of Episode 2 and find out/relive it together, shall we? (And once you’re done, check out our chat with Olivia Cooke and Paddy Considine.)
CRABBY BADDIE | You might’ve missed it in Episode 1, seeing as how we were meeting everyone for the first time, but Lord Corlys was very worried about a tyrant known as the Crab Feeder amassing power across the sea somewhere, someone who is known for leaving his victims to get nibbled to death by relentless crustaceans. Well, we see evidence of such torture at the very start of this week’s hour, though the action quickly moves back to King’s Landing, where Corlys is really mad that four ships (one of which was his) went down thanks to the aforementioned far-off threat in the Stepstones, and madder that Viserys doesn’t seem to care much.
“I want to seize the Stepstones by force, and burn out this Crab Feeder,” the Sea Snake announces. But Viserys doesn’t want to start a war with the pirates, who are backed by the Free Cities. Corlys is annoyed even further by the fact that Daemon decamped to Dragonstone, took it by force and is holding it via the strength of the City Watch, and Viserys hasn’t made a peep.
Hightower doesn’t like Corlys’ disrespectful tone, and tells him so, but Viserys doesn’t seem bothered. He’s sent envoys to Volantis and Pentos to try to talk peace, and he has ships and men ready to deal with the situation. “You have dragonriders, Father,” Rhaenyra pipes up from the corner. “Send us.” But no one takes her seriously — though everyone assembled seems to think it quite amusing that she has a thought and opinion on the matter — and so Viserys asks Ser Harrold to take the princess to help choose someone to fill a vacancy in the Kingsguard: After all, the new knight will be tasked with keeping her safe.
WELCOME TO THE KINGSGUARD, SER CRISTON! | One by one, the candidates are marched before Rhaenyra, who seems supremely bored. She interrupts the proceedings to ask if any have actual combat experience, so Ser Harrold summons Ser Criston Cole, aka Hot Dark-Haired Knight from the tournament in the premiere. She learns that he achieved his knighthood after putting in time as a footsoldier, and that seems to seal it: “I choose Ser Criston Cole,” Rhaenyra happily announces. Otto points out that the other knights are better choices, from alliance standpoints and such, but she shuts him down, and that’s that. Also, I should probably mention that Rhaenys watches the whole thing with [insert Beaches “Otto Titsling” voice] a great deal of innnnnterest.
Upstairs, Viserys shows Alicent his model of Old Valyria, answering at least one of my questions from the premiere when he tells her that he reads the histories and provides the plans, but “the stonemasons build the structures.” He asks how Rhaenyra is doing (apparently she and her dad don’t talk much in the wake of the queen’s death), but Alicent encourages him to reach out to her himself. “You do have an easy way about you, Your Grace,” she says. Then he not-so-subtly tells Alicent not to mention their conversations to her best friend, which is not. troubling. at. all. — especially in the very next scene, when Rhaenyra complains about how the small council is already trying to marry off the king, and Alicent is all, “Would it be such a bad thing if he remarried?”
The girls are in the sept, and Alicent suggests that Rhaenyra light a candle and pray for her mother, as a way to feel closer to her. So she does, and it brings her to tears. Aw, poor kid. Alicent quietly says that when she wants to talk with Otto, she has the make the effort, and Rhaenyra smiles, clasps her arm and thanks her.
IN WHICH CORLYS AND RHAENYS MAKE THEIR MOVE | Meanwhile, Viserys, Corlys and Rhaenys meet, ostensibly to smooth over the harshness of the small council meeting earlier but really so the couple can once more make a case for the king to wed their daughter Laena and unite the two remaining great Valyrian houses. Corlys reasons that the family that has dragons and the family that has the world’s largest fleet should be “bound in blood,” which would be a sign to everyone that the crown hasn’t been weakened by recent events. The king doesn’t say much in response, but he also doesn’t say no.
The king’s hand (not to be confused with the hand of the king) is MUCH worse since he cut it in the premiere, and the maesters resort to submerging the appendage in a tray of maggots in order to try to save his pinky finger (which is blackened with decay). And since he’s gotta pass the time anyway, he raises Corlys and Rhaenys’ proposal with Hightower while he waits. Otto is not into the idea. The Grand Maester supports it, if for not other reason than keeping the royal baby factory in operation. Which is a valid idea, until Viserys and Laena go for a walk and she is an actual CHILD. (Side note: I know we saw her in the royal box at the joust, but my brain was like, “Surely Corlys and Rhaenys have another daughter who’s, I don’t know, past puberty?” THEY DO NOT.) To his credit, the king is almost as uneasy with the whole thing as I am.
And when Rhaenyra and Rhaenys talk about the matter, we quickly find out that they do not have a warm-and-fuzzy relationship. Rhaenys reminds Rhaenyra that “the order of things” is that Viserys will remarry, he’ll likely have a male heir, and the men of the realm will consider that male heir their ruler. “When I am queen, I will create a new order,” the teen shoots back, bringing to mind Daenerys’ “I’m not going to stop the wheel, I’m going to break the wheel” pronouncement in Game of Thrones and making me love the kid even more than I already do. Rhaenys brings up the point that the realm had the chance to have a queen back in the day, and passed. “They denied you, Princess Rhaenys, Queen Who Never Was,” Rhaenyra says. “But they bent the knee to me and called me heir to the throne.” Did someone say “dracarys?” Because that was a BURN. But the elder princess is cool and composed as she tells Rhaenyra “men would rather put the realm to the torch than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne. And your father is no fool.”
DAEMON VS. RHAENYRA | Later, during an intimate meal in his quarters, Viserys tells Alicent about the Laena plan. Then she gifts him a mended stone dragon — which he’d broken when it accidentally dropped earlier it the episode — and he’s genuinely touched. Otto interrupts to tell the king there’s an emergency small council session: Prince Daemon stole a dragon’s egg in the dark of night, leaving behind a note announcing: a) he’s taking a second wife (Mysaria), b) they’re expecting a child, and c) they’re going to put the egg in the cradle, as is House Targaryen custom. Oh, and he’s invited Viserys to the wedding, which will take place in two days. Chicken or fish, my lord?
As the council argues, Rhaenyra asks the dragonkeeper, in High Valyrian, which egg her uncle took. Turns out, it belonged to Dreamfyre — the same egg they’d chosen for Baelon’s cradle. Viserys instantly wants to go to Dragonstone to drag his brother back himself, but Hightower says he’ll go instead.
So he does, and meets Daemon (carrying the egg) and Mysaria on the bridge. Otto orders him to vacate Dragonstone. Daemon notices the new Kingsguard member behind him and pretends to forget his name. “Perhaps my prince recalls when I knocked him off his horse,” the young knight replies. (Ha!) There’s a lot of shouting about treason and whores, then Daemon dares Otto and his men to come and take the egg. Swords are drawn on both sides. And then the dragon that Daemon and Mysaria rode at the end of the premiere appears behind him, causing Otto to have his men sheath their weapons. But THEN the mists around the bridge start to ripple and Rhaenyra appears on Syrax (!), landing behind Hightower and his group.
She ignores the Hand’s order to go home, then marches up to Daemon and — in High Valyrian — demands that he vacate Dragonstone, which is (on paper, at least) hers. Also? Mysaria is not pregnant. “If you wish to be restored as heir, you’ll need to kill me,” she says, returning to English. ”So do it, and be done with all this bother.” He doesn’t. Instead, he chucks the egg at her, turns and walks away. Then she places the egg in a warmer, mounts her dragon, and flies home.
Inside, Mysaria is NOT pleased: the whole wedding-and-preggo thing was news to her. Plus: She swore a long time ago never to have her life put in danger by having a child. Even worse, she fears that though the king night show Daemon mercy should the need arise, he would not hesitate to kill a “whore” carrying a Targaryen baby. We learn that Mysaria has been bought and sold several times over, from the time she was a child, and “most of my years have been spent living in terror.” She doesn’t want gold or power, but to be liberated. “Liberated from what?” he asks. “Fear,” she says.
ALLIANCES OF ALL KINDS | When Rhaenyra gets home, Viserys is ripped to find out what she’s done. “You’re my only heir. You could’ve been killed!” he says, staying on brand. “I retrieved the egg without bloodshed,” she tells him calmly, an accomplishment she’s not sure Otto would’ve been able to do alone. As her father tacitly acknowledges the truth of her statement, it lowers the temperature of the conversation a little, making space for an honest conversation about how they’re both still really mourning Aemma and how they both know that he’s got to remarry.
“You are the king, and your first duty is to the realm,” Rhaenyra says, more sympathetic to her dad than we’ve seen her since the queen’s death. “Mother would have understood this, just as I do.”
The next morning, Viserys calls his small council to order and announces that he’s decided to take a new wife. And Corlys, I wouldn’t look quite so triumphant if I were you. Then we see Rhaenyra realize that Alicent is standing by her father’s chair, and… yep: Meet your new stepmom! After Viserys says he and Alicent will be wed before spring’s end, Corlys stomps out and Rhaenyra blinks back tears before following him.
Next, we see Corlys talking to someone about how his family had to scratch their way into wealth and power via hard work, that nothing was given to them. “I’ve always thought of you and I as having been made from the same cloth,” he says to the person sitting across from him… and it’s Daemon! “We’re both men who’ve had to cut our way through the world.” They’re meeting at Driftmark, seat of House Velaryon. He fills Daemon in on how Viserys doesn’t want to stop the Crab Feeder, but that stepping into that fight is how Daemon can show his power. And as flashes of the violence in the Stepstones are intercut with the men’s conversation, it seems like Viserys’ brother is contemplating taking up Corlys’ proposal.

Todd Archer of ESPN reports that the Cowboys are releasing QB Ben DiNucci ahead of the upcoming cuts deadline.
This leaves Cooper Rush and Will Grier competing for the backup job to Dak Prescott.
DiNucci, 25, originally began his college career at Pittsburgh before transferring to James Madison for the 2018 season. The Cowboys used the No. 231 overall pick in the seventh round on him in 2020.
DiNucci signed a four-year, $3,390,148 rookie contract that includes a $95,148 signing bonus. He was waived coming out of the preseason last year and later signed to the Cowboys’ practice squad.
Dallas brought him back on a futures contract this past January.
In 2020, DiNucci appeared in three games for the Cowboys and completed 23-43 pass attempts for 219 yards. He also rushed six times for 22 yards.

Trina Edwards, widow of Gov. Edwin Edwards, is marrying another Louisiana political legend
Trina Edwards, the widow of former Gov. Edwin Edwards, is engaged to another Louisiana political legend and one of her husband's longtime allies, former House speaker and Senate President John Alario.
Alario, who at 78 is 35 years older than Trina, confirmed the engagement to USA Today Network but was tight-lipped about details because Trina has scheduled an exclusive interview on “Talk Louisiana with Jim Engster” at 9 a.m. Wednesday on WRKF.
"I can tell you that I'm thrilled and we haven't set a date," Alario said. "But beyond that, you don't want me to ruin the engagement before the wedding (by upstaging Trina), do you?"
Edwards died last summer at 93. He was 51 years older than Trina when the couple married in 2011. They had their son Eli in 2013.
“Obviously, I have a type,” Trina told Engster, the host of a popular talk radio show in Baton Rouge, when she first went public about her relationship with Alario last month.
Trina Edwards and Alario were engaged on Aug. 19, which was her 44th birthday. She is younger than all four of Alario's children, but Alario noted his seven grandchildren are all younger than Trina. Alario's first wife Ree died 16 years ago.
“Edwin is a hard act to follow,” Trina told Engster. “But John keeps up pretty well.”
Alario, a political chameleon from Westwego who served as a Democrat when he was Edwards' choice twice for speaker of the House before switching to the Republican Party to serve as GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal's choice as Senate president.
He remained a Republican while serving a second term as Senate president during Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards' first term.
Alario retired from the Legislature in 2020. His 48 years of service was a record that was surpassed by his long-time friend Democratic Rep. Francis Thompson of Delhi during the current term.
Edwards served a record four terms as Louisiana as well a stint in federal prison for corruption.
He died on July 12, 2021 at 93.
“I’ve had a great life,” Edwards said in an interview with USA Today Network on his 90th birthday in 2017. “I've been around the world six times and in every state and there's not a better place in America and the world than Louisiana.”
Trina told Engster her late husband "was so compassionate and kind all the time. He never lost his temper," she said

KUCHING (Aug 29): Sarawak is trying to secure as many direct flights as possible to further boost the tourism industry, said Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
The Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister said people could expect some good news on direct routes between the state and other places outside Sarawak within this year.
“We are trying to get as many (direct flights) as possible. Definitely, there will be some announcements from now until end of the year,” he said in respose to a question during a news conference here today.
Abdul Karim, however, asserted that having too many direct flights would be in vain if the airfares were not affordable.
He felt that travellers would not want to spend too much on airfares and might choose not to fly to Sarawak.
“There is no point in having too many direct flights if the airfares are high.
“For instance, if the airfares from Semenanjung (Peninsular) to Sarawak are RM1,000 or so, those from Semenanjung may think that they might as well spend it in other places in Semenanjung,” he said.
Abdul Karim said he looks forward to the Indonesian market where the country is expected to open up international borders from Sept 1.
He noted that the Indonesian President Joko Widodo had mentioned about health tourism in Sarawak.
“When the international borders are opened up, it will be back to normal. The one we are still waiting is the (direct) flight from Pontianak.
“As for now, we can see cars from Kalimantan travelling on the road already. When there are flights coming in, we will see much more (Indonesian visitors),” he said.
He believed that a lot of Indonesians will be visiting the state for the Kuching Jazz Festival this year.
According to Abdul Karim, the ministry has received many applications for the Sarawak-Malaysia My Second Home (S-MM2H) programme.
He expressed confidence that the number of S-MM2H participants will increase, since there are many applications pending approval.
He also noted that visitors from Brunei are visiting Sarawak following its reopening of international borders from early this month.
“I was in Miri last weekend and I could see that Bruneians are beginning to flock in again. We can say that we are back to normal,” he added. | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/08/29/abd-karim-sarawak-trying-to-get-as-many-direct-flights-as-possible-to-further-boost-tourism-industry/ | 2022-08-29T05:21:50Z | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/08/29/abd-karim-sarawak-trying-to-get-as-many-direct-flights-as-possible-to-further-boost-tourism-industry/ | false | 1 |

New $5.5 million collaboration with e-GUIDE and Atlas AI launches in Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Uganda to catalyze investment in agriculture, energy, and transportation infrastructure
NEW YORK and NAIROBI, Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Rockefeller Foundation announced a new $5.5 million collaboration with e-GUIDE and Atlas AI to accelerate economic development and promote climate resilient infrastructure investment across sub-Saharan Africa. Leveraging satellite data and machine learning technologies, this three-year effort will produce unprecedented insight into the well-being of communities through a groundbreaking digital platform, which builds upon new research and publicly available data sets covering the nexus of agriculture, energy, and transportation sector development conditions. Initially covering Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Uganda, the platform will provide policymakers with extensive cross-sectoral insight into where new infrastructure development can help mitigate community vulnerabilities and promote economic opportunities, ultimately assisting efforts to prioritize and sequence investments more effectively in these key sectors.
"While data science has been used to improve individual development projects, we haven't yet unlocked its potential to improve development at a systems level — which is critical, because efforts to drive change in energy, agriculture, and transportation must be integrated in order to make opportunity universal and sustainable," said Zia Khan, Senior Vice President of Innovation at The Rockefeller Foundation. "We are excited about the potential of this collaboration to give policymakers, investors, and operators more dynamic situational awareness of local conditions and help them improve those conditions for the people they serve."
Launched in 2018 by The Rockefeller Foundation alongside University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst, Columbia University, Carnegie Mellon University, and the Colorado School of Mines, e-GUIDE (Electricity Growth and Use In Developing Economies Initiative) is an effort to apply data science to electricity demand prediction in energy-poor emerging economies.
"We want to develop tools to measure how infrastructural developments such as roads, electricity systems, and agriculture lead to economic development," said Jay Taneja, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UMass Amherst, and principal investigator on the project. "We want to understand which combinations result in the most extensive and fastest economic development, primarily in countries in sub-Saharan Africa."
e-GUIDE, which has successfully harnessed AI to predict electricity consumption in Africa and measure productive use of energy in Africa's agriculture sector, is joined in the effort by Atlas AI, a public benefit technology startup based in Silicon Valley. Established in 2018 by The Rockefeller Foundation and a team of Stanford University professors, Atlas AI uses data from a range of planetary sensors along with deep learning AI technologies to monitor changes to global economic and societal wellbeing. Atlas AI has extensive experience building hyperlocal socioeconomic datasets, predictive analytics models, and software platforms to guide complex policy and investment decisions.
"For more than a decade, the scientific community has been demonstrating the use of data from new sensors like satellites along with AI technologies to measure specific development indicators such as the performance of staple crops, the wealth accumulation of households, and the pace of electrification," said Abe Tarapani, CEO of Atlas AI. "Real-world investment decisions don't fit as neatly into one of those buckets, and we are thrilled to be part of this pioneering consortium to unlock a more dynamic and practical understanding of how constrained resources can best promote livelihood improvements in local communities."
e-GUIDE and Atlas AI have also partnered with the Kigali Collaborative Research Centre (KCRC) in Rwanda to leverage KCRC's research and innovation leadership in energy systems, data science, artificial intelligence, transportation, and climate change across Africa.
Urgent Action Needed:
- Even though the share of Africa's carbon emissions is less than 3% of global emissions, it is expected to bear the brunt of the economic impact of climate change according to the African Development Bank.
- According to the World Bank, current efforts to build resilience to climate change into Africa's food systems are effective, but fall short when it comes to tackling the problem at scale.
- Hundreds of millions of people lack access to safe, reliable electricity in sub-Saharan Africa, hindering many governments' development and climate resilience goals.
- There is a lack of widespread data about Africa's transportation infrastructure constrains investment in resilient solutions in a sector that is responsible for around a quarter of all global emissions.
In response, the platform developed by e-GUIDE, Atlas AI, and KCRC is the result of thousands of hours of computation across petabytes of data covering electrification, agriculture, transportation, and human settlement activity, breaking down the silo-focused approach prevalent in many traditional sector-specific development data platforms.
"We're starting in Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya," continued Professor Taneja, "because these four countries represent places where we already have strong relationships and are already collaborating on projects. We look forward to expanding the initiative's coverage to more countries in the coming years."
In addition, an advisory board is being created that will initially be composed of four independent experts with deep expertise in one or more sectors of interest.
Atlas AI is a predictive analytics platform that enables organizations to optimize performance and expand reach by investing in underserved communities around the world. Founded by a team of Stanford University scientists in partnership with The Rockefeller Foundation and with support from Airbus Ventures and Micron Technologies Inc., we harness a range of planetary scale datasets and the latest advances in artificial intelligence to measure local socioeconomic change such as population demographics, infrastructure access, household spending power and crop yields. We use this proprietary data to analyze, monitor and forecast regions of growth and untapped potential to offer insight into where organizations can grow most successfully, and where investment can best drive economic progress.

VMAs kicked off in style! On Sunday, the much-coveted Moon Person was a handout to the deserving candidate in a starry affair. Like every year, VMAs red carpet was full of fashion - some beautiful, some weird and some elegant.
As always, Taylor Swift took all the charm as she showed up in a beautiful shiny silver dress, meanwhile, Lil Nas X again proved how he's the ultimate prince of the red carpet.

Lil Nas X is the ultimate prince of the red carpet. The singer made heads turned with his all-black feather outfit by Harris Reed.
Nas showed off his abs and biceps in a black attire featuring long pants covered with feathers. The 'Industry Baby' singer added a heavy headpiece to his look.
His look was a black version of the supermodel Iman's iconic Met Gala gold dress.

On a gray morning in August 1974, a man stepped off the edge of the yet-to-be completed World Trade Center and into history.
That morning, Philippe Petit crossed a wire stretched between the towers eight times. He danced, ran and lay down, performing for the crowd that had gathered more than 100 stories below his feet, before dismounting into the custody of New York police officers.
The tight-rope walk is the event around which a new novel, Let the Great World Spin, revolves. The book, by Colum McCann, won the National Book Award for fiction earlier this month.
Petit's death-defying act is familiar — it's also the subject of the documentary Man On Wire — but McCann tells Steve Inskeep that the people below were the ones whose lives he wanted to explore.
"What I was most interested in was not so much Philip Petit but the people who were on the ground, the people who walk the sort-of little tightrope of our ordinary everyday moments," McCann says.
The reactions of McCann's main characters to the stunt range from gripping fear that the tight-rope walker will fall, to disinterest or even disgust.
"I was interested in looking at what the dilemmas of their life happened to be," McCann says. "Not everybody is enthralled, in the novel, with the idea of the tight-rope walker. Some people, they look up into the sky and they see a man there on a wire, and why does he cheapen death by making it so easy and accessible?"
In the novel, one of McCann's characters describes fear as something floating in the air:
"It's like dust. You walk about and don't see it, don't notice it, but it's there. And it's all coming down, covering everything. You're breathing it in. You touch it, you drink it, you eat it. But it's so fine you don't notice it. But you're covered in it."
The passage's evocation of the ashes that thickened the air in lower Manhattan after the collapse of the towers was intentional, McCann says, and personal.
"My father-in-law was in the first building to be hit," he says. "He got out with 90 seconds to spare; he was one of the lucky ones. But he walked through that strange glaucoma storm of dust, and he came up to our house. I kept his shoes from that day, these shoes that are covered with the dust of the World Trade Center."
The ache of knowing that dust's history, without knowing its exact origin, haunted McCann.
"It could be concrete girder," he says. "It could be a curriculum vitae, a resume. It could be someone's eyelash. It could be a bit of all sorts of things."
For McCann, the desire to construct a back story proved both irresistible and fulfilling.
"I think we sort of have to try to reconstitute it and try to make meaning of it," McCann says. "I think we're learning to recover. I think we're moving toward moments of grace and understanding. And I think these things take time."
Asked where people might find grace in the midst of tension or tragedy, McCann answers with a lesson from a year he spent conversing with homeless men and women in New York before writing an earlier book.
McCann recalls: "These were people who had been through the most difficult of circumstances," but they always spoke of a life beyond the troubles they faced.
"Part of me really wants to believe that hope is entirely available to all of us. We don't have to embrace it. It would be sentimental and silly to say that we all need it, but it is absolutely available to all of us."

Waratahs women's side will be flying the flag for the club on grand final day.
After coming through two must-win finals they've set up a clash with CSU looking to win their first title on Saturday.
Advertisement
Waratahs went down to Griffith in the first time they qualified for the grand final three years ago, and the Blacks had won both of the sides clashes this year, but this time didn't have enough answers at Exies Oval.
Waratahs coach Mark Macarthur was thrilled with their performance to take a 27-15 victory.
"It was great to get the win and book us a place in the grand final," Macarthur said.
"We just fired and everything came together. We were able to really get the ball wide a lot quicker and were able to penetrate the defensive line a bit better."
READ MORE
It was a game of momentum shifts, but Waratahs were able to capitalise late to see Griffith crash out of the finals.
Waratahs scored the first two tries before a double to Lele Katoa levelled things up at 10-all.
However a converted try to Andrea Noldin ensured Waratahs regained the lead before half-time.
Griffith then took advantage of Tarnayah Hinch being yellow carded as Fapiola Uoifalelahi cut the margin to two points.
Waratahs responded through captain Holly Stephens before Hinch scored after Uoifalelahi was yellow carded to seal the win.
The Blacks had gone through the season half of the season undefeated but Macarthur thought his side was able to make the most of playing on a drier surface this time around.
"We like to have a dry ball as it makes the game a lot faster and we were able to capitalise on that," he said.
"We were able to get it really quick, passes stuck and we were able to play some running rugby."
Now Waratahs are looking to get the better of CSU for the second time this year.
They became the first team to beat the Reddies after taking a 32-29 victory to complete the first round of the season but CSU hit back with a 10-5 win in the final game before finals.

Macarthur expects a tight contest.
"When we go against Reddies and Reddies go against us it is always a tight competition, it's a flip of the coin on the day as we're both really good sides and very skilful," he said.
"It is going to be whoever capitalises on opportunities on the day when they are presented that decides who wins on the day."
With Waratahs going down to Griffith in first grade, Macarthur is proud to have the club still represented on grand final day.
"It was a bit upsetting to see the lads didn't come through but we know that they will be down there at training this week to help us prepare for our game," he said.

When Louis Vuitton calls, you answer. Back in March, I had received an email from the public relations department at Louis Vuitton inviting me on a press trip to Beverly Hills for the release of the brand's new fragrance City of Stars.
As I was already in Los Angeles visiting family, Vuitton sent a car to pick me up from my Nana’s house and whisked me away to the Beverly Hills Hotel where the brand was housing invited editors for the stay. Once I got to the hotel, I was immediately greeted by the Vuitton team and given a room key in a cute custom Louis Vuitton cardholder imprinted with a design of the city of Los Angeles.
The brand had invited us to dinner at the Sunset Tower Hotel. I hadn’t been in that area since my late teens when I had a fake ID. We enjoyed cocktails and bites near the pool that overlooked the city in all of its glory. Dinner was great. It was filled with good laughs and conversation.
For day two, we headed to the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills restaurant to eat and mingle on the rooftop and enjoy the city's views. Once lunch was over, we headed back to the hotel, where I checked some emails and did some light work before heading out to the grand event of the evening at the Academy Museum, in which the brand's latest fragrance would be unveiled.
The scent's collaborators French perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud and artist Alex Israel were on hand to explain their process. Regarding Los Angeles, Belletrud noted that the city had "special vibes" for him. “As you'll see, we are in a place which is really fabulous. We have a spectacular view; we are waiting for the sunset,” said Belletrud
“I asked Jacques what do you smell here in L.A.? And he said, 'the sunlight.' I looked at him and replied 'What do you mean sunlight?" shared Israel about collaborating with the famed French perfumer. "Jacques said he smelled the light and shared that no scent is just about fragrance; it's also about the atmosphere; it's about the color of the bottle; it's about the name of the fragrance; it's about the packaging. And I started thinking what's so great is that Jacques has this totally expansive definition of fragrance and that's really something interesting to think about. And for me, I think about fragrance as an accessory to performance, and I think Los Angeles is a city of performance. So it really makes a lot of sense bringing these concepts together—this idea of L.A. and of fragrance. People move to L.A from all over the world to reinvent themselves, to become the person that they want to be—and they get to perform that every day in their lives.”
Added Belletrud, “We need positive things; we need to reconnect. My quest is really to translate the different emotions coming from the bottle. The magic and the poetry should be in the bottle,”
Louis Vuitton's City of Stars fragrance is a citrusy scent, with touches of Tiare flower and sandalwood, that is meant to be worn as an evening cologne. The sparkling notes of blood orange, lemon, red mandarin, bergamot and lime are inspired by the city’s lights. “All these citruses come from Sicily and Calabria; they have the ravishing glimmer of those sun-drenched regions. The brilliance of citrus illuminates the night and creates a paradox between shadow and light, like a tension that’s soothed by a veil of Tiare flower, the gentle scent of monoi. The essence of sandalwood and the caress of powdery musk give this perfume sophistication," explains Belletrud. "That magnetic combination is what lets this cologne bring on the night and exude sensuality—as if to say, ‘this is forever.” | https://www.ebony.com/i-spent-72-hours-in-beverly-hills-with-louis-vuitton-for-the-brands-new-fragrance-launch/ | 2022-08-29T06:42:43Z | https://www.ebony.com/i-spent-72-hours-in-beverly-hills-with-louis-vuitton-for-the-brands-new-fragrance-launch/ | false | 2 |
One of the most prominent voices for Reformed theology and church planting among Southern Baptists announced Aug. 28 he is taking an indefinite leave of absence from preaching and teaching due to what he called inappropriate online chats with a woman who is not his wife.
Matt Chandler, pastor of The Village Church in the far northern suburbs of Dallas and leader of the international Acts 29 church planting network, said he had not engaged in a sexual or romantic relationship with the woman but that his frequent and “coarse” direct messages exchanged over Instagram were “unguarded and unwise” and “revealed something unhealthy in me.”
The news hit an unusual chord in a time when Southern Baptists and other churches are focused on child sexual abuse and marital infidelity. What Chandler appeared to confess to was messaging that had the potential to appear inappropriate or to lead to inappropriate actions.
Chandler, 48, began his confession to the congregation by saying, “I plan on being the pastor here for another 20 years, but I do need to loop you in on some things, OK?”
He continued: “Several months ago, a woman … met me out here in the lobby, and she had some concerns about how I was using the DM function on Instagram to message with one of her friends. At the time when she brought it up, I saw no issue with it. My wife knew about it. This woman’s husband knew about it. And so I kind of pushed against that not being OK. She said some things in that conversation, though, that were really disorienting for me.”
He discussed the situation with the chair of the church’s elders and a fellow pastor, as well as with his wife, he said.
“Although my DMing with this woman was not romantic, nor was it ever sexual, it was unguarded and it was unwise.”
“The accusations brought up some concerns that although my DMing with this woman was not romantic, nor was it ever sexual, it was unguarded and it was unwise,” Chandler told the congregation. “And the way that played itself out was in a kind of frequency and familiarity that is not wise for someone in my position.
“The volume of exchanges and the familiarity, which played itself out in kind of coarse and foolish joking, is just not OK for someone who has been put in the position that God has placed me in. And so the elders worked through it and decided — and I think they’re right — that my inability to see this for what it was revealed something not right, something unhealthy, in me,” he said.
For that reason, he and the elders have agreed that he will take an indefinite leave of absence from preaching and teaching. He did not indicate he was taking a leave from serving as the church’s pastor or from administrative duties.
He called the leave of absence from preaching and teaching both “disciplinary” and “developmental.”
Chandler said he was “embarrassed” and felt “foolish and stupid.”
He fell short, he said, of modeling for other men “the kind of men we should be, the kind of leaders we should be, the kind of Christians we should be.”
He fell short, he said, of modeling for other men “the kind of men we should be, the kind of leaders we should be, the kind of Christians we should be.”
He asked the church’s forgiveness and was met with applause. “We cannot be a church where anyone is above the Scriptures and above the high heavenly call into Christ Jesus. The word of God holds me to a certain standard. And I fell short.”
The Village Church and Chandler stand at the epicenter of a conservative, Calvinistic movement that reaches from Southern Baptists into the larger evangelical and nondenominational world. This movement, epitomized by the Acts 29 network, espouses a strict complementarian theology that says God created men and women for distinctly different roles in church and home. The movement combines biblical inerrancy with Reformed theology and complementarianism.
What is today known as The Village Church began in 1978 as First Baptist Church of Highland Village. At the time, Highland Village was a small suburb of a suburb on the northern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The small Southern Baptist church called 28-year-old Chandler as pastor in 2002 and changed its name.
Explosive growth occurred in the years since then, and the church expanded to multiple campuses. It later changed its philosophy and spun off the other campuses into independent congregations. The church today not only ranks among the top 100 largest churches in America but among the fastest-growing churches in America.
In 2019, The Village Church was sued for $1 million by a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted by a minister and counselor at the church in 2012 when she was age 11. On Aug. 27, 2020, the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office dismissed the criminal charges against the former employee, saying the woman “cannot and has not positively identified (the man) as the person who committed (the) offense.” The church reported it had come to a “resolution” with the woman, but her family later denounced the church for not doing enough.
In 2015, The Village Church made headlines for exercising church discipline on a woman who left her husband without permission after learning he is a pedophile. The church later apologized to the woman.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2719396289359/flood-advisory-issued-for-bee-by-nws | 2022-08-29T06:49:01Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2719396289359/flood-advisory-issued-for-bee-by-nws | false | 12721 |

Baillie Lodges Expands to South America with Acquisition of Chile's Tierra Hotels
SYDNEY, Aug. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Australia-based boutique ultra-luxury hotel platform Baillie Lodges has acquired a majority share in Chile's esteemed Tierra Hotels ("Tierra"), whose intimate collection includes experiential luxury lodges in three of South America's most extraordinary wilderness destinations.
Adventures abound for guests at Tierra's trio of luxury lodges: Tierra Patagonia sits alongside craggy mountains and the glistening glacial Lake Sarmiento in Torres del Paine National Park, Tierra Atacama is set high in the northern desert of Chile, and Tierra Chiloé overlooks verdant pastures and dramatic coastline on Chiloé Island.
The acquisition builds on Baillie Lodges' existing portfolio of properties in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, further solidifying the company as a leading global experiential luxury lodging brand. Following the acquisition, Baillie Lodges will own and operate ten extraordinary lodges across a range of highly sought-after destinations.
The new partnership officially commenced on August 27, following a long history of collaboration between the Baillie Lodges team and Tierra Hotels founder Miguel Purcell. The Purcell family – which has developed and successfully operated Tierra Hotels since 2008 – will retain an ownership stake in the portfolio, and the three properties will keep the highly regarded Tierra Hotels branding.
The Baillie Lodges and Tierra collections provide access to incredible natural attractions in extraordinary locations, paired with culturally rich experiences and intimate lodges that cater to a small number of guests and place architectural and interior design at the forefront. The properties share a commitment to the sustainability of the natural environment and surrounding communities in which they operate, offering guests an authentic encounter with nature.
"We are delighted to work with the Baillie Lodges team," said Mr. Purcell. "We both take a personal approach to hospitality, customizing unique and enriching experiences for guests who are looking to explore the world in a meaningful, sustainable way."
"This partnership is a natural fit for our companies and teams, and we look forward to sharing these wonderful new properties and experiences with our guests," said Baillie Lodges Executive Chairman Michael Moret-Lalli. "Both brands share a vision for delivering exceptional, immersive experiences, and I am thrilled for our teams to join forces and continue exploring new frontiers in hospitality and leisure as the world gets back to traveling."
Baillie Lodges intends to meaningfully invest in the Tierra properties to ensure they maintain their unique market position as pre-eminent boutique hotels in Chile. In addition, Baillie Lodges plans to expand the Tierra hotel platform in the years to come through acquisitions and new greenfield developments.
About Baillie Lodges
Baillie Lodges is a growing portfolio of luxury lodges renowned for setting benchmarks in premium experiential travel. Set in exclusive locations of unique natural or cultural significance, the boutique properties appeal to the discerning global traveller seeking a remarkable experience. The Australia-based collection was founded in 2003 by James and Hayley Baillie and includes Longitude 131° at Uluru-Kata Tjuta, Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Island, Silky Oaks Lodge at the Daintree Rainforest, and The Louise in the Barossa Valley. Flagship property Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island was destroyed in the 2020 bushfires and its rebuild is in progress, with an anticipated reopening in mid-2023. In 2019, an affiliate of KSL Capital Partners acquired Baillie Lodges with the aim to further expand the unique collection of luxury lodges. The 2022 addition of Chile's esteemed Tierra Hotels group marks a continuation of the collection's foray into international waters, joining the Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge on Canada's Vancouver Island and New Zealand's Huka Lodge. For more information, please visit baillielodges.com.au. Baillie Lodges' Australian properties are honoured as members of Luxury Lodges of Australia.
About Tierra Hotels
The trio of Tierra Hotels in Chile was founded and operated by the Purcell family, who were already highly regarded in the Chilean tourism industry as owners of the high-end Ski Portillo resort in the country's Andes mountains. Guided by Purcell family's many years' experience, the Tierra Hotels team first opened Tierra Atacama in 2008. Tierra Patagonia set on the shores of Lake Sarmiento overlooking the Torres del Paine National Park opened in 2012, and Tierra Chiloé launched in 2017 after an extension to the former Refugia on "The Big Island" of Chiloé.

Blackman leaves for World Youth Swimming Champs
TT swimmer Nikoli Blackman has left for Lima, Peru where he will represent this country at the FINA World Youth Swimming Championships at the Vedena Aquatic Centre, from Tuesday-Sunday.
Blackman will dive into action on Tuesday in the men's 400m freestyle where he will seek to improve his 04:03.35 personal best, which was achieved last year at the FINA World Swimming Championships in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
He returns to the pool the next day for the 200m freestyle. His PB in that event was also clocked in Abu Dhabi.
Blackman will also compete in the 50m freestyle and 50m fly on August 2.
His competition ends with the 100m freestyle, which splashes off on August 3.
Blackman will be accompanied by coach Joseph McLeod.
The six-day competition will be held with preliminary heats in the morning and semi-final and medal races in the evening. All morning sessions swim off from 9.30 am TT time and evening sessions from 6 pm.
Blackman, 16, has had a memorable year, starring at the Pan American Swimming Championships held at the National Aquatic Centre in Couva.
At the Pan Am Age Group Championship time trials, held at the National Aquatic Centre in Couva in April, Blackman became the youngest ever swimmer from this region to dip below 23 seconds in the 50 metres freestyle.
He clocked a nippy 22.89s and finished behind TT compatriot and Olympian Dylan Carter, who touched the wall in 22.15s.
The Marlins Swim Club representative then broke the Pan Am Age Group Championship meet record on his way to gold in the boys’ 15-17 100m freestyle. He touched the wall in 50.91s.
Blackman is also a two-time First Citizens Sports Foundation Youth Sportsman of the Year. | https://newsday.co.tt/2022/08/29/blackman-leaves-for-world-youth-swimming-champs/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=blackman-leaves-for-world-youth-swimming-champs | 2022-08-29T06:59:53Z | https://newsday.co.tt/2022/08/29/blackman-leaves-for-world-youth-swimming-champs/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=blackman-leaves-for-world-youth-swimming-champs | false | 1 |
Feelers from the just concluded Annual General Conference of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), arguably one of the oldest and hitherto most respected civic and professional organisations in the country have confirmed that like many an organisation in the country, the NBA requires deep reform.
From the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of the body’s Secretary General to the hooliganism that accompanied the logistics challenge occasioned by the poor handling of conference bags procurement and distribution at the event, what came out was that quite a lot needs to be done to raise the template of the organisation once again.
Lawyers are not idlers. Over time they have come to be regarded as members of ‘the learned profession.’ It is a professional group that both concerns itself with matters of rules and proper behaviour and also goes ahead to set benchmarks for the rest of society in this regard. Indeed, at a point in time, the association was imbued with so much respect and honour that it occupied the moral high ground in the arena of public discourse.
In the seasons past when it was led by the likes of Alao Aka -Bashorun and Olisa Agbakoba, the NBA was a most respected voice in the arena. It stood for the popular rights of Nigerians, insisted on the observance of the rule of law and would not condone any injury to any.
Part of the challenge may be the depth of the rot in which the association may have come to be mired in.
For example, the captain of one past recent administration was heavily weighed down for a lot of his tenure in office by allegations bordering on poor ethical conduct. There have also been insinuations that the group’s secretariat has for some time now been poorly functioning to the extent that lawyers have even had to endure unacceptably lengthy delays in processing basic work gear such as the statutory practice seal.
Indeed, it is quite ironic that it is at a time when the bar was seemingly been seen as repositioning to return to the moral high ground that these travesties are now showing up. But it is no point for despair. The moral high ground is the noble ground. It still has to be taken and fully occupied.
In standing up for victims of police brutality, cautioning that EndSARS protest leaders be not unduly victimised, insisting that government follows the tenets of the law in terms of appointment and dismissal of its functionaries no matter how highly placed, intervening in the Inibehe Effiong matter, insisting on the independence of the association and raising a loud voice against alleged acts of corruption in the process of appointment of judges, the outgoing Olumide Akpata scored some notable grand points in the public space.
In organisational terms, there were also some soft victories, including moves made to internally discipline allegedly errant members of the association on a wide variety of charges ranging from sexual harassment to poor ethical conduct no matter whose ox was gored.
Though one of those attempts that involved a past President of the association and an associate was to be stalemated, the fact of its having been entertained and embarked upon in the first place was a demonstration of a willingness by the Akpata leadership to address challenges at that level.
And on the internal NBA political front, there was also the very notable fact of Akpata’s emergence as the first non-Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN to be elevated to the leadership of the bar in a long while. This was indeed a most symbolic victory for ‘the streets of the bar.’
But there were also untidy points such as the face-off with the Secretary General, the handling of the Body of benchers saga and the conference bags fiasco.
These notwithstanding, the general opinion of this paper is that the Olumide Akpata led NBA has done fairly well in getting the NBA back on course
What is now left to be done is for the new leadership led by Y.C. Maikyau, SAN, to continue apace with the evidently defined course of reforms in the association, bar and the judiciary; fix the yet observed lapses and give to Nigeria an NBA of weight and honour, more so at this critical time when millions of Nigerians expect all hands to be on deck in ensuring that the next national leadership of the country will indeed be one that is qualitatively better than the outgoing one.
The NBA must not fail Nigeria today. | https://hallmarknews.com/the-nba-and-the-imperative-of-deep-reform/ | 2022-08-29T07:01:31Z | https://hallmarknews.com/the-nba-and-the-imperative-of-deep-reform/ | true | 1 |

Where in Maine hunters shot the most bears last year
Bear season begins in earnest on Monday, Aug. 29, and it is likely to be another productive year for hunters. That prediction is based on the reported decreased abundance or quality of natural food sources for bears, which should be out searching for food and thus more susceptible to harvest by bait hunters. Dry conditions in much of Maine have led to smaller crops of beech nuts, acorns and berries.

Another candidate from Pitt Meadows has thrown his hat into the ring for school board trustee.
David Isaac is the parent of a 16-year-old daughter currently in the school system.
He said he has noticed persons involved in the school system are at most times at odds with each other – even though everyone has the same goal,that being the success of students.
“I’m not here to change the School District, I am only one voice, one person, I simply want to be able to bring the various parties together to help achieve the goal of helping students reach their potential and succeed and meet their goals,” he said.
Isaac ran for Maple Ridge school board trustee in 2014.
At the time he said he volunteered with: the Maple Ridge Lions Club; Ghost Ridge, a haunted house at Halloween that used to raise money for local community organizations; and with Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Country Fest.
Isaac firmly believes that being a school trustee is the most important position in the city.
“While Council and the Mayor may set policy and taxes for the city during their term, if students cannot achieve success while in school, who will be able to purchase the homes, start the new businesses and otherwise pay the taxes,” he asked.
The election is on Saturday, Oct. 15.
