Nolah Mattress Labor Day Sale: The best deals
The Nolah Original 10" is the brand's least expensive mattress. With a medium-firm feel, it should suit most back and side sleepers comfortably. This full foam mattress is currently discounted up to $400 off (opens in new tab), with a queen now going for just $899 (was $1,149).
Meanwhile, sleepers who want to customize the feel of their mattress should consider the Nolah Evolution 15". The brand's best-selling mattress is now up to $1,200 off (opens in new tab). It comes in three firmness levels (plush, luxury firm, firm) and features a layer of zoned, individually-wrapped coils, pressure-relieving AirFoamICE foam and a quilted cooling Euro top cover for the perfect blend of pressure relief and temperature regulation.
Prefer to buy organic? The Nolah Natural 11" is on sale at up to $1,000 off (opens in new tab), with prices as low as $999 for a twin (was $1,199). Organic beds use high-quality materials, which drives up their prices.

But that's not all – Nolah is also taking up to $400 off adjustable bases (opens in new tab), including its Nolah Ultimate Adjustable Smart Base with voice control and built-in head/foot massage.

You'll also have 120 nights to trial your mattress at home, with a full refund if you're not satisfied. (However, returns will incur a $99 fee.) You can avail of an additional discount at checkout if you elect to remove the mattress trial, but we advise against doing this unless you're already familiar with the mattress.
Mattresses aren't the only items experiencing major markdowns. Labor Day sales are cropping up across a number of product categories – from TVs and laptops to appliances and home furniture. Take advantage of these end-of-summer savings before it's too late. | https://www.techradar.com/deals/nolah-labor-day-sale-save-up-to-700 | 2022-08-30T14:09:37Z | https://www.techradar.com/deals/nolah-labor-day-sale-save-up-to-700 | false | 1 |
Arizona governor latest U.S. official to visit Taiwan
Adds detail
TAIPEI, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The governor of Arizona was due to arrive in Taiwan on Tuesday, the island's foreign ministry said, the latest in a succession of officials from the United States to visit, defying pressure from China for such trips not to take place.
During his three-day visit, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, a Republican, will meet with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen and with companies in the semiconductor industry.
The world's largest contract chip maker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC), is building a $12 billion plant in the U.S. state of Arizona.
Taiwan has hosted a succession of officials from the United States since a visit by a delegation led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi early this month, which infuriated China.
Beijing responded to Pelosi's visit with military drills close to the island that included launches of ballistic missiles over Taipei for the first time, and by cutting some lines of dialogue with Washington.
China claims Taiwan as its territory despite the strong objections of the democratically-elected government in Taipei, which rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Members of the marching band at St. Martin de Porres High School on Cleveland’s East Side took a trip to Texas this past weekend, with the help of Pepsi, to show off their skills ahead of one of the biggest annual events for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs): the National Battle of the Bands.
The Cleveland marching band was the only one from outside of Houston, Texas to perform at the Step and Stroll event, which serves as a prelude to the Saturday night Battle of the Bands, according to a news release from PepsiCo.
See photos in the gallery above.
The company’s Pepsi Stronger Together initiative helped bring the St. Martin de Porres band to Texas, following up on their commitment to the band made in February, when it donated $37,000 to the school and provided students with new instruments and uniforms, as well as scholarships for high school seniors, the news release says.
The St. Martin de Porres band trip was a part of the first stop of a multi-campus tour called Historically Better, a collaboration between Pepsi Stronger Together and Doritos SOLID Black. The tour will last four months and culminate at the SWAC Championship game, according to the release.
The tour, including the local high school’s participation, aims to bring “past, present and future generations of Black leaders and changemakers together while inspiring and creating opportunities for current and future HBCU students,” the PepsiCo press release states.
While wildly entertaining for the tens of thousands of audience members, the National Battle of the Bands is an exhibition event for eight HBCU marching bands; there is no declared “winner.” The Battle of the Bands took place at NRG Stadium – home to the Houston Texans – and was also sponsored by Pepsi, among others. | https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2022/08/st-martin-de-porres-high-school-marching-band-participates-in-once-in-a-lifetime-event-ahead-of-national-battle-of-the-bands.html | 2022-08-30T14:13:33Z | https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2022/08/st-martin-de-porres-high-school-marching-band-participates-in-once-in-a-lifetime-event-ahead-of-national-battle-of-the-bands.html | true | 1 |

Rishabh Pant made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in 2017. The young keeper-batter has since then established himself as an internal part of the side on the back of consistent performances.
He was appointed captain by the team management last year and led the side to the playoffs of the cash-rich league.
A number of his DC players have lauded the talented youngster for the maturity he has shown during his short stint as skipper of the franchise. That said, Pant hasn't shied away from sledging his IPL teammates whenever he has had an opportunity.
Here, we take a look at three such occasions where Rishabh Pant sledged his DC teammates during a match:
#1 Rishabh Pant and Pat Cummins
The incident took place during India's tour of Australia in 2018. Pat Cummins was batting on Day 5 of the Test series opener in Adelaide when Rishabh Pant tried to get under his skin with his chatter.
Cummins was tasked with building a partnership with skipper Tim Paine, as the Aussies had lost six wickets for 161 runs while chasing a stiff total of 323. The lower-order batter was blocking most of the deliveries in a bid to hang in there during the critical juncture.
Pant made it tougher for Cummins with his comments from behind the stumps. The gloveman pointed out how the pacer wasn't able to put the loose balls away. He further suggested that it won't be easy to survive against the Indian bowlers.
He was caught on the stump mic saying:
"Come on, come on, Patty, it's not easy to play here, man!"
"Come on...it's not easy! It's not easy to survive here."
The contest proved to be a thrilling one as both sides fought hard on the final day of the fixture. India eventually managed to secure a stunning 31-run victory to go 1-0 up in the four-match series.
Notably, both Pant and Cummins were part of the Delhi-based team in 2017. The pacer was released at the end of the season and now plays for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
#2 Rishabh Pant and Rovman Powell
India and West Indies battled it out in a five-match T20I series in July and August this year. During the fourth fixture in Florida, West Indies batter Rovman Powell tried to play an outrageous shot off the bowling of Axar Patel.
Pant questioned the swashbuckler for the shot selection. Furthermore, he advised Axar to continue bowling the way he was. The batter ultimately fell into the trap and was dismissed soon after.
The left-armer, who had been bowling wide outside the off-stump, surprised Powell with a full toss that was angling into his body. The power-hitter's eyes lit up upon seeing the delivery as he tried to clear the ropes.
The Windies batter perished while trying to do so as he hit it straight to Deepak Hooda stationed at the long-on boundary.
Pant was captured on the stump mic saying:
"What kind of a shot was that?""
Notably, Powell was signed by the Delhi franchise for ₹2.80 crore at the IPL auction earlier this year. He mustered 250 runs from 14 games in his maiden season and had a fantastic strike rate of 149.70 to his name.
#3 Rishabh Pant and Sam Billings
Sam Billings played for DC in the 2021 edition of the IPL. Rishabh Pant was seen having a go at the English cricketer during a net session.
During a practice session, Billings was surprised with the ball spinning a lot off the pitch. Pant, who was behind the stumps, sledged the right-handed batter, suggesting that he wasn't able to take on the bowlers.
Pant was captured saying:
"Bowled! Someone is not hitting."
Pant was appointed the stand-in captain for DC ahead of this particular season, with regular captain Shreyas Iyer ruled out due to injury. The franchise continued with Pant as their skipper even after Iyer's return in the second phase of the edition. The southpaw was appointed the full-time skipper of the side ahead of IPL 2022.

Meghan Markle released the second episode of her Spotify podcast Archetypes Tuesday, this time welcoming singer Mariah Carey as her guest.
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, chatted with the 53-year-old singer for a conversation titled "The Duality of Diva," where they spoke about the modern interpretation's negative connotations of the word "diva" and being biracial.
Mariah touched on how she moved over a dozen times during her youth and grew up without much, struggling to fit in with each new start.
"I didn't fit in. I didn't fit in. You know, it would be more of the Black area of town or then you could be where my mom chose to live, were the more, the white neighborhoods. And I didn't fit in anywhere at all," she began.

"Yeah, I understand that," Meghan echoed, adding that she had looked forward to welcoming the pop icon on Archetypes for much more than her music.

"You were so formative for me. Representation matters so much," she said. "But when you are a woman and you don't see a woman who looks like you somewhere in a position of power or influence, or even just on the screen — because we know how influential media is — you came onto the scene, I was like 'Oh, my gosh. Someone kind of looks like me. ' "
Alluding to another trailblazing woman in Hollywood, Meghan continued, "I had read this article about Halle Berry, and they were asking her how she felt being treated as a mixed-race woman in the world. And her response was her saying, 'Well, your experience through the world is how people view you." So she said because she was darker in color, she was being treated as a Black woman, not as a mixed woman."
"And I think for us, it's very different because we're light-skinned," she said. "You're not treated as a Black woman. You're not treated as a white woman. You sort of fit in between.
"I mean, if there's any time in my life that it's been more focused on my race, it's only once I started dating my husband. Then I started to understand what it was like to be treated like a Black woman," Meghan said, referencing her relationship with Prince Harry. "Because up until then, I had been treated like a mixed woman. And things really shifted."

In reply, the "Obsessed" singer said that feeling forced to choose between identifying as Black or white was an "interesting thing."
"As mixed woman, because I always thought it should be okay to say I'm mixed. Like it should be okay to say that. But people want you to choose," she said, to which Meghan agreed.

Archetypes shot up Spotify's charts following the release of the first episode last week, a conversation with Serena Williams titled "The Misconceptions of Ambition, where the friends discussed the double standard society sets for women who chase their dreams and Meghan revealed that a fire broke out in son Archie's nursery during the Sussex family's royal tour of Africa in 2019. Two days after it dropped, Archetypes was the number one podcast in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada on Spotify's international charts.
Meghan and Prince Harry first announced a "multi-year partnership" between Spotify and their production company Archewell Audio in 2020. According to a previously shared press release, Archetypes intends to "investigate the labels that try to hold women back.
Speaking with historians and experts, Meghan will "uncover the origin of these stereotypes and have uncensored conversations with women who know all too well how these typecasts shape narratives."

Chelsea have slapped a £30 million price tag on winger Hakim Ziyech amidst interest from London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, as per 90min (via HITC).
Eredivisie champions Ajax are interested in replacing Manchester United-bound Anthony with Ziyech, although they would rather secure a loan deal.
Tottenham reportedly hold an interest in the former Ajax winger and the Moroccan prefers a move to Antonio Conte's side.
However, the Blues are looking to permanently part ways with Ziyech and will look to sell the attacker for £30 million.
Ziyech arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2020 from Ajax for £36 million and was highly sought-after.
He had made 165 appearances at the Johan Cruyff Arena, scoring 49 goals and creating 81 assists.
However, it has been a unconvincing two spell at Chelsea for Ziyech who has failed to nail down a permanent spot in Thomas Tuchel's side.
He has made 84 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 14 goals and contributing 10 assists.
The winger has made just one appearance so far this season, a 26-minute outing in the 3-0 defeat to Leeds United on August 21.
Tottenham and Ajax may be wary of paying £30 million for a player who has failed to live up to expectations at Chelsea.
The Moroccan does have three years left on his current contract but it seems his future lies away from Stamford Bridge.
Tottenham move for Atletico Madrid winger casts doubt over Chelsea winger Ziyech pursuit
Tottenham are interested in signing Atletico winger Yannick Carrasco who could be available for £25 million.
Reports claim that Spurs have opened talks to sign the Belgian who has impressed at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
He has made 222 appearances for Diego Simeone's side, scoring 37 goals and creating 39 assists.
Spurs' interest in Carrasco may jeopardize a move for Ziyech with both players boasting similar profiles.
The Belgian is also the younger of the two and given he is less expensive, it may be the route Conte's side go down to sign a new winger.
Ziyech does appear surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge but it remains to be seen if he will hand in a transfer request.
The former Ajax winger has taken control of his own professional career, writing on Instagram:
"I am no longer represented by Nakhli Mondial. Thank you for the last 12 years. I am wishing them nothing but the best. HZ."

Russian artillery has fired at Ukrainian towns across the river from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
Local officials said residents were in anguish as reports of shelling around the plant fuelled fears of a radiation disaster.
Russia’s Defence Ministry said there was more Ukrainian shelling of the plant over the past 24 hours, just a day after Moscow and Kyiv traded accusations of targeting Europe’s biggest nuclear plant which has prompted grave international concern.
Ukrainian nuclear company Energoatom said it had no new information about attacks on the plant.
Captured by Russian troops in March, but still run by Ukrainian staff, the complex on the southern front line of the war has been one of the major hotspots in the six-month-old conflict.
The US State Department said in a statement on Sunday that Moscow did not want to acknowledge the grave radiological risk at the Zaporizhzhia plant and had blocked a draft agreement on nuclear non-proliferation because it mentioned such risk.
Regional governor Oleksandr Starukh said on Telegram on Sunday that Russian forces struck residential buildings in the region’s main city of Zaporizhzhia, about a two-hour drive from the plant, and the town of Orikhiv further east.
On Saturday, Mr Starukh told Ukrainian television that residents were being taught how to use iodine in case of a radiation leak.
Ukraine’s military reported shelling of nine more towns in the area on the opposite side of the Dnipro river from the plant in its daily report, while the RIA agency quoted the Russian defence ministry as saying its air force struck a Motor Sich plant in the region where helicopters were repaired.
Reuters could not verify those reports.
Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said nine shells fired by the Ukrainian artillery in two separate attacks landed in the nuclear plant’s grounds.
“At present, full-time technical personnel are monitoring the technical condition of the nuclear plant and ensuring its operation. The radiation situation in the area of the nuclear power plant remains normal,” he said in a statement.
The United Nations and Kyiv have called for a withdrawal of military equipment and personnel from the plant to ensure it is not a target.

The owner of the southwest Houston complex that was the scene of a mass shooting Sunday said he told the tenant to clear out, as he’s done with other renters over the years -- sometimes emphasizing his message with his Belgian Malinois dogs.
Tony Mercurio said Roy Cravin, the man authorities said set fires and then shot tenants as they fled the flames, had stopped paying rent in the last few months. He had asked him to leave the property, though he had not filed eviction proceedings.
NEW DETAILS: Houston police reveal more details in mass shooting that left 4 dead after fire at housing complex
Mercurio, a Houston attorney who rents property on the side, described the complex in the 8000 block of Dunlap as a rooming house and said tenants pay for their rooms on month-to-month basis and don't have leases. Rather, he said they purchase a license to use the property. Mercurio said he hadn't gone through the formal process of filing an eviction notice against his tenants for at least eight years.
“We have done it in the past,” he said. “We haven’t done it in six, eight, 10 years. We haven’t done filing a forcible detainer. That’s what they’re called. We don’t do it.”
He said he talks to tenants and tells them they need to leave.
“They leave. They don’t have a problem. I have Belgian Malinois. I used to have uniformed people go over to get on their case. They would usually leave, but I stopped doing that a long time ago. About 20 years ago I stopped and I started having Belgian Malinois dogs. I just take the dogs over there with me. They see the dogs around the properties on a leash and they see I have the dog and usually the dog is in the pickup truck with its head out, and he’s barking. They see him, they know I have him. When he barks, the windows vibrate, and I tell them “Look, you need to leave, if you don’t I’m coming back with the dog.”
GUN VIOLENCE IN HOUSTON: One dead, one injured in south Harris County shooting
He continued: “’It’s going to be you and the dog, and I’m betting on the dog.’ Then when I come back an hour later, they’re gone.”
After he told Cravin he needed to move out, Mercurio stopped by Saturday morning to get the keys. He said Cravin handed them over without an issue. He told Mercurio he had a few more boxes to pack up and then he would leave.
Mercurio, who has owned the building since 1999, said he was asleep when he got a call from a tenant saying there was a fire. He rushed over from his house, about two minutes away, to find a crime scene walled off by police.
“We lost so many good people here,” Mercurio said.
Police said that they believe Cravin set fires in the complex, then shot tenants as they fled, killing at least three and injuring three others. He was shot and killed by a police officer who responded to the scene.
The Harris County Appraisal District lists the property at 8021 Dunlap as a mixed residential-commercial structure appraised at $295,000. Built in 1955, the 3,663-square-foot structure has been reconfigured as connected apartments.
MORE ON THE MASS SHOOTING: Officer who shot gunman identified
Mercurio said Cravin also shot a German Shepherd that lived at the building. The dog ran from the property after being shot twice. Mercurio said he retrieved the dog from a local animal shelter on Monday. The shelter "did a lot of work," on the dog, which had injuries to three legs, he said.
Mercurio said residents displaced by the fire had been moved to open rooms.
A tenant had sued Mercurio in District Court in 2007, alleging she was locked out of her apartment after failing to pay rent and told she could not get her personal items until she paid.
If a landlord changes the lock of an apartment leased to a tenant, he or she “must provide the new key to the tenant at any hour, regardless of whether or not the tenant pays any of the delinquent rent,” state law states. The case was dismissed more than two years later for want of prosecution.

Meghan Markle has been dubbed 'imbecile' by a royal expert after the Duchess alleged British media of racism.
The Duchess of Sussex graced the cover of The Cut magazine and weighed in on her return to Instagram in an exclusive interview, published on Monday.
The 41-year-old explained why she resisted the royal protocol that required her to share family photos with the UK tabloids.
“Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the N-word a photo of my child before I can share it with the people that love my child?' she said.
The Australian host Kyle Sandilands on her show Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday said that is her ‘imbecile’ of Meghan to launch allegations of racism on the British press.
“She needs to get over it. She's an imbecile!” the expert said.
“If you're joining the Royal Family, yes, they have these rules in place, and they have done for many, many years. You can't come in and just go, "I don't agree with your rules so I'm not going to do it,”’ she said.
The hosts of the show admitted that they were sick of Meghan's 'woe is me' stories.

“Trying” has been renewed for a fourth season at Apple TV+. The British comedy series will return for another new slate of episodes.
The news of the renewal for the favorably reviewed series comes three days ahead of its upcoming Season 3 finale, which will debut on the streamer on Friday.
When “Trying” premiered its first season on Apple TV+ in May 2020, all eight episodes became available to watch on the platform on the same day. Since then, the series has shifted to a weekly format, with a new episode becoming available on the platform each Friday this season. The Season 2 and Season 3 premiere dates are an exception, which both saw two episodes released at once to launch a new season.
The current season of “Trying” follows Nikki (Esther Smith) and Jason (Rafe Spall) as the couple continues to face the odd challenges — legal and parental — in the adoption process. While Nikki and Jason are still learning how to connect with the two children that they have taken under their wing, the season finale teases that the duo makes an impulsive decision as they prepare to learn whether they will be allowed to continue raising the kids.
Along with Smith and Spall, the “Trying” cast also includes Oliver Chris, Sian Brooke, Darren Boyd and Robyn Cara.
“Trying” comes from BBC Studios. The series is created, written and executive produced by Andy Wolton, with Jim O’Hanlon serving as director and executive producer and Josh Cole also serving as executive producer. | https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/trying-season-4-apple-tv-plus-1235354139/ | 2022-08-30T14:21:41Z | https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/trying-season-4-apple-tv-plus-1235354139/ | false | 2 |

Welcome to another episode of the Top Tech News, and today we look at Apple planning to bring satellite connectivity to the next iPhones,
Artemis 1 launch delayed by NASA and JioMart now comes to WhatsApp.
NASA Delays Artemis 1 Launch Amid Engine Issues
A fuel leak and then an engine problem during final liftoff preparations led NASA to scrub the launch of its mighty new moon rocket Monday morning on a shakedown flight with three test dummies aboard.
The next launch attempt will not take place until Friday at the earliest. The launch represents a milestone in America’s quest to put astronauts back on the lunar surface for the first time since the Apollo program ended 50 years ago.
As precious minutes ticked away, NASA repeatedly stopped and started the fueling of the Space Launch System rocket with nearly 1 million gallons of super-cold hydrogen and oxygen because of a leak of highly explosive hydrogen in the same place that saw seepage during a dress rehearsal back in the spring.
Then, NASA ran into new trouble when it was unable to properly chill one of the rocket’s four main engines, officials said. Engineers continued working to gather data and pinpoint the source of the problem after the launch postponement was announced.
Apple iPhone 14 Likely To Support Satellite Connectivity
The latest rumour around the iPhone 14, however, hints at the company bringing satellite connectivity to the iPhone. According to a report from Bloomberg’s Apple expert Mark Gurman, Apple may bring satellite connectivity to the iPhone 14 series.
Gurman, in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, speculates that the theme of this year’s iPhone event invite hints at the satellite connectivity feature.
Gurman says that the ‘Far Out’ tagline, alongside a cluster of stars could mean that iPhone is getting satellite connectivity. The feature, which is said to be called Emergency Message via Satellite internally, will allow users of compatible iPhones to send SOS messages to first responders, in case they are in places like the mountains or at the sea.
Meta and Jio Partner To Bring JioMart Shopping On WhatsApp
Meta and Jio Platforms have announced their new partnership to bring grocery shopping to WhatsApp for users in India. The service will be provided via JioMart, the digital shopping app from Jio Platforms, and users can log in to the shopping service through WhatsApp on their smartphone.
You can browse the JioMart grocery catalogue, add products and even make the payment within WhatsApp.
Any WhatsApp user can send a message on the JioMart number 91 79770 79770 and say Hi to get more details from the JioMart business chatbot. You will then be provided a list of products that are available on JioMart, select the items you want to purchase and head over to the checkout cart for payment.
Jio Platforms mentions that payment for your grocery shopping via WhatsApp can be done using WhatsApp Pay which is UPI-based payment service for WhatsApp users in India. Alternatively, you can decide to pay for the order via cash on delivery.

Much like any other country, us Brits enjoy cultural quirks that often leave foreign visitors bewildered. Things can get even more confusing when you drill down to regional preferences - like ordering your chips with curry sauce or gravy, or how you pronounce the word 'scone'. These seemingly small tastes can prove to be rather tribal amongst the British public - ask a group of people what biscuit they favour and all hell with break loose.
Another opinion that divides the country is which of our much-loved supermarkets reign supreme. Whether you're a die-hard Aldi fan or an M&s shopper, the battle for top-tier supermarket status rumbles on. This debate becomes even more territorial when a non-Brit decides to weigh in on the topic, something which one woman quickly realised when she posted her 'criminal' British supermarket ranking online.

Rhiannon Cunningham, an Australian who has lived in Britain for four years, confidently gave her followers the low-down on her favourite food shops, only to be ruthlessly ridiculed for her views.
Taking to TikTok to share her opinion, Rhiannon, who posts under the name @ rhiannon.cunningham on the platform, gave her back-story ahead of delivering her rankings, in the hope that her British followers would respect her view on the matter.
At the beginning of the video, where she speaks to the camera, the young woman says: "OK so this is me ranking all the British supermarkets and I've been in this country for four years now, so I think I've earned myself the right".
The writing on top of the clip reads "Ranking UK supermarkets (as an Australian)" with a numbered list running from 1-8 that eventually gets filled out throughout the video, as the woman explains why each supermarket earned its allocated spot.
Working from worst to best, the Aussie declares Co-op as the worst supermarket in the UK, boldly stating that she "f***ing hates it".
"Co-op never has anything you need, but for some reason they are absolutely everywhere. And I just don't understand why," she continues.
"I would go in for the simplest thing like a loaf of bread and they just won't have any that day. They never have what I need when I want it."
Next up is Waitrose, which the woman awards seventh place thanks to its up-market prices. "I don't appreciate a supermarket that costs £5 to even breathe in there".
Lidl secures sixth place after Rhiannon mixes up the budget store with Aldi, before questioning whether Lidl stores "even exist" as she's never shopped in one.
Then Morrisons makes an appearance, landing fifth after the Aussie confesses that she was a "Morrisons girl" when she first moved to the UK.
Continuing to suggest that it's "embarrassing" to shop in Morrisons, the young woman added "I just don't understand Morrisons. What are you? What are you trying to be? Who made you? Is there really a need for you? Who are you actually competing with?".
What do you think about Rhiannon's supermarket ranking? Let us know in the comments...
Iconic budget supermarket Aldi then enters the list at fourth place - a decision which Rhiannon accepts may be "controversial" owing to its beloved status in the UK.
She blames the mid-range ranking on long queuing times in the supermarket, dubbing it as "just not good enough".
As things start to heat up in the rankings, she warns viewers that her third place supermarket "does not deserve to be up this high" but explains that it has always been her local.
Sainsbury's has remained a loyal favourite for Rhiannon, as she says: "I honestly know every single aisle. I know the layout of every single Sainsbury's. It's always the same," before adding "Sainsbury's is low-key my comfort store despite me low-key hating it".
Second place goes to M&S, as according to the Aussie, the pricey goods are worth it thanks to their high quality.
She explains: "Marks & Spencers is expensive but for good reason. Their ready-made meals and stuff are so freaking good".
"I'm not rich by any means, but I will still shop at M&S purely because the quality is just there and you can fight me on that."
After joking that Asda made the top spot before clarifying that it didn't make the list because she's "never step foot in one", Rhiannon proceeds to award Tesco as the supermarket winner - much to many viewers' dismay.
She says: "They just have the best range. Such good prices. Whenever there's a new range I want to try it's always featured in Tesco first".
The only downfall of her favourite store is its Clubcard system, according to Rhiannon, as despite shopping there regularly she still doesn't have one.
The controversial list has left many Brits outraged, with thousands fleeing to the comments section on the video to complain about the choices - all of which Rhiannon strongly sticks to.
Many disgruntled shoppers complained that Asda didn't make the cut, with one commenting: "You rated co-op and not Asda??!" and another adding "try an ASDA please. I find Tesco cost more than ASDA".
Others defended Co-op, arguing that it "has super high-quality food" as well as "good wine, and nice crisps and cheese".
Many commenters disagreed with Tesco being awarded the top spot, with one saying: "totally wrong Tesco 1st? no way".
A few TikTok users agreed with the Aussie's opinion, applauding the order of her list. One said: "very solid list this" while another added: "I agree with every single thing u [sic] said".
The video has certainly divided opinions, as it has garnered more than 880,000 views so far. Despite the criticisms, Rhiannon insists that her opinion is "final" and "right".

Newcastle United give official explanation of Martin Dubravka situation with Manchester United move
Martin Dubravka has attracted plenty headlines this week.
A move to Manchester United seemingly imminent.
The last 24 hours had brought widespread reporting that a deal had been agreed, with Man Utd taking Martin Dubravka on loan for the season, with a contract clause that would see a permanent £6m transfer fee paid next summer if the keeper plays a certain number of games for the Old Trafford side.
Now there has been an official Newcastle United update on the Martin Dubravka situation.
Eddie Howe explaining the following – 30 August 2022:
“Discussions have taken place (about Martin Dubrava) between the clubs (Newcastle United and Man U) but I don’t think anything is concluded as we sit here now.
“From my perspective, I’m sad if Martin does leave, sad to see him go.
“It is certainly not something we necessarily wanted but we understand that there are always two sides to every story.
“It’s not always about what I want.
“Or what the club wants.
“You have to understand the player’s position as well.
“Sometimes, you have to see things from two perspectives.
“There is no ideal world in football and you have to make a decision.
“The club have made a decision and we back it.
“I certainly back Karl Darlow. I have no issue with Karl Darlow or Martin Dubravka, they are two very good goalkeepers. Karl did very well against Tranmere recently and showed his experience and value to the squad.
“He has trained brilliantly. I would love as many good goalkeepers as I can have, and certainly Martin is that, but you also have to understand the other person’s perspective.”
Eddie Howe clearly doesn’t want the goalkeeper to leave.
Equally clearly, Martin Dubravka wants to leave.
One of those cases where there is no point in forcing a player to stay at your club.
Although at same time you can’t help but feel that Man Utd totally taking advantage of this situation, getting an unbelievable deal on a very decent level Premier League level goalkeeper.

ROME (AP) — The New York Yankees and the Los Angeles-based fund that includes LeBron James are investing in AC Milan alongside RedBird Capital Partners, which is nearing a deal to purchase the Italian soccer champion for 1.2 billion euros ($1.2 billion), the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Gerry Cardinale, the founder and managing partner of RedBird, announced a preliminary agreement in June to purchase Milan from fellow American firm Elliott Management, with the closing scheduled by September.
Officials close to RedBird would not comment on the latest report when contacted by the Associated Press but said an announcement will be coming in the next couple of days. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the final deal has not been announced yet.
Milan, a seven-time European champion, is coming off its first Italian title in 11 years.
The Yankees, the 27-time World Series champions, are already involved in soccer as co-owners with Manchester City of New York City FC in Major League Soccer. New York City FC plays some of its home games at Yankee Stadium.
Main Street Advisors, the fund supported by James, also counts the rapper Drake among its partners, as well as English Premier League club Liverpool and the Boston Red Sox.
James and Drake will be passive investors in Milan through the fund and have not taken direct stakes, the newspaper reported.
RedBird also has a stake in Fenway Sports Group, which owns Liverpool and the Red Sox. Champions League rules prohibit two clubs in the competition being under the same ownership to protect the integrity of games on the field. UEFA will likely have to make a judgment on the extent of RedBird’s influence on decision-making at Liverpool.
RedBird is set to become Milan’s fourth owner in five years.
Elliott has owned Milan since 2018 after the club’s former Chinese owner failed to repay part of a loan. Former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi controlled Milan for more than 30 years before selling to the Chinese group in 2017.
Inter Milan, Roma, Fiorentina and Bologna are among other foreign-owned teams in Serie A.
Having previously failed to qualify for Europe’s elite competition for seven consecutive years — that included a one-year UEFA ban for breaking financial monitoring rules — Milan is playing in the Champions League for a second consecutive season. That can earn the club about 100 million euros ($100 million) in UEFA prize money and help restore the club’s global brand.
Milan's team includes 40-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimović and fellow striker Olivier Giroud.

The evolved platform provides a more inclusive resource for current and future bartenders to fuel their passion, hone their skills and take their careers to the next level
NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pernod Ricard USA, the largest subsidiary of the world's second largest spirits and wine company, just launched a new and improved version of its premier online bartender education program, BarSmarts, as part of the company's ongoing commitment to support the bartending community and push the hospitality industry forward.
With two levels, Basics and Professional, the BarSmarts program is designed to educate everyone from trained mixology professionals looking to level up their skills to new bar enthusiasts who are passionate about the art of cocktail making. It also helps connect all participants with prospective employers, expanding opportunities for the next generation.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that employment for bartenders is projected to grow 32 percent over the next eight years (from 2020 to 2030) — a rate that's much faster than average, making these skills even more covetable as the industry continues to rebuild from the pandemic.
"Bartenders remain an integral part of the on-premise experience, and after the last couple of years, there's a need to develop talent — and help fill roles — from the ground up," says Kevin Denton-Rex, Head of Mixology and Education, Pernod Ricard USA. "The initial response to our new program has been very positive, and we're excited about the number of people who are choosing BarSmarts as a tool to begin or expand their bartending career."
Desktop- and mobile-friendly, BarSmarts provides an opportunity for anyone, anywhere to grow their skills in the comfort of their own homes and on their own schedules, for a flat $29 registration fee. The program also features the following updates:
- A robust job board, connecting prospective employers with qualified candidates
- Diverse, best-in-class mixologists contributing to the platform including Chanta Hunter, Haley Traub, Misty Kalkofen, Jane Danger and Jack Schramm
- Exclusive access to thought leadership content through a strategic partnership with the Welcome Conference, an annual hospitality event founded by acclaimed restaurateur, Will Guidara
- A newly launched Spanish-language version of the program, expanding access and support for Hispanic and Latinx communities
"All too often, bar education programs neglect to include the foundational materials necessary to build a strong, competent bar team," said Misty Kalkofen, Director of Education for Another Round, Another Rally, a nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding hospitality workers. "BarSmarts is a thorough resource that ensures the entire team starts with the same primary knowledge — and has an opportunity to evolve their skills — to provide the best guest experience possible from start to finish."

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina House members plan to debate a new total ban on abortion Tuesday with no exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape or incest even as some Republicans in the GOP-dominated chamber suggested they can't vote for the bill as written.
But if the exceptions are put into the bill, the chamber's most conservative members could join with Democrats to kill the bill, too.
On the day before the debate, one of the most conservative House lawmakers said 20 Republican have signed his letter saying they would not commit to voting for the total ban with the rape and incest exceptions, which with the votes against from 43 Democrats would be enough to kill the bill.
“With a solid Republican majority in the South Carolina Legislature, there is no reason or excuse we should have to negotiate a lesser position,” Republican Rep. Stewart Jones said.
The state currently has a six-week ban but the South Carolina Supreme Court suspended the law earlier this month while the justices decide on a Planned Parenthood lawsuit that says the ban is an unreasonable invasion of privacy under the state constitution. The decision leaves South Carolina's abortion ban at 20 weeks for now.
Supporters of the total ban in South Carolina want to follow the lead of Indiana, which earlier in August passed a total ban to go into effect on Sept. 15 with exceptions for rape, incest and if the mother's life is in danger. West Virginia's House and Senate couldn't agree on stricter abortion rules in a July session.
Thirteen states have so-called trigger laws designed to outlaw most abortions when the U.S. Supreme Court threw out the constitutional right to end a pregnancy in June.
South Carolina leaders have watched those developments carefully, as well as events several weeks ago in Kansas, where nearly 60% of voters rejected a ballot measure that would have allowed the state’s conservative Legislature to ban abortion. Republican Donald Trump received 56% of the 2020 presidential vote in Kansas. Trump won 55% in South Carolina.
Republican leaders in the South Carolina House allowed for the speaker to call the special session after the leak of a draft opinion indicating the U.S. Supreme Court would allow states to ban abortion. Lawmakers started working on the total ban after Roe v. Wade was overturned in June.
A special House committee then heard public testimony and drafted the total ban bill. It allows abortions if a mother's life is in danger and then lists a number of different medical emergencies that would fit into that exception.
The House Judiciary Committee sent the bill to the House floor on a 13-7 vote. All yes votes were from Republicans and all votes against the bill were from Democrats. But three Republican committee members who were at the meeting did not vote.
It's not just the exceptions making some Republicans pause. The bill includes a statement that “it is undisputed that the life of every human being begins at conception” and some conservatives said they must figure out whether that means child support and tax breaks begin at conception, too.
The South Carolina House has 80 Republicans, 43 Democrats and one vacancy. The bill needs a majority vote to be sent to the Senate, where stricter bans on abortions have seen tougher fights.
Republican Gov. Henry McMaster hasn't given his opinion on this specific bill but has said he would like to see a day where there are no abortions in the state.

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore have developed and tested a novel SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particle that can potentially be developed into a COVID-19 vaccine candidate.
To study the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the researchers need to isolate the virus from the samples, create multiple copies of it, and analyse its transmissibility and efficiency at entering living cells.
However, working with such a highly infectious virus is dangerous and requires a Bio Safety Level-3 (BSL-3) lab, only a handful of which across the country are equipped to handle such viruses.
To address this problem, the team developed and tested a novel virus-like particle (VLP) — a non-infectious nanoscale molecule that resembles and behaves like the SARS-CoV-2 virus but does not contain its native genetic material.
Such VLPs can not only be used to safely study the effect of mutations that may arise in SARS-CoV-2, but can also potentially be developed into a vaccine candidate that can trigger an immune response in our bodies, the researchers said.
These VLPs can also be used to cut down the time taken to screen drugs that can fight the virus, they said.
Saumitra Das, Professor at the Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology (MCB), IISc and his lab has previously shown that VLPs can be used as vaccine candidates to trigger an immune response.
When the pandemic hit, Das and his team began working on a VLP for SARS-CoV-2. They first had to artificially synthesise a VLP with all the four structural proteins — spike, envelope, membrane and nucleocapsid — seen in the actual virus.
“The main challenge was to express all four structural proteins together,” said Harsha Raheja, PhD student at MCB and first author of the study published in the journal Microbiology Spectrum.
SARS-CoV-2 replicates by producing each structural protein separately and then assembling them into a shell containing the genetic material inside to form an active virus particle.
To recreate this, the team chose a baculovirus — a virus that affects insects but not humans – as the carrier to synthesise the VLPs, since it has the ability to produce and assemble all these proteins, and replicate quickly.
The researchers then analysed the VLPs under a transmission electron microscope and found that they were just as stable as the native SARS-CoV-2.
At 4 degrees Celsius, the VLP could attach itself to the host cell surface and at 37 degrees Celsius (normal human body temperature), it was able to enter the cell. When the team injected a high dose of VLPs into mice in the lab, it did not affect the liver, lung, or kidney tissues, according to the researchers.
To test its immune response, they gave one primary shot and two booster shots to mice models with a gap of 15 days, after which they found a large number of antibodies generated in the blood serum of the mice.
These antibodies were also capable of neutralising the live virus, the team found.
This means that they are protecting the animals, explained Raheja.
The researchers have applied for a patent for their VLP and hope to develop it into a vaccine candidate.
They also plan to study the effect of the VLP on other animal models, and eventually humans.
The researchers said that they have also developed VLPs that might be able to offer protection against the more recent variants like Omicron and other sub-lineages.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Sitting on a metal folding chair just beyond the end zone of Mississippi State's practice field, Deion Sanders is alone watching the Bulldogs scrimmage on a muggy spring day.
Coach Prime snagged his new offensive coordinator for Jackson State from Bulldogs coach Mike Leach's staff this offseason. On this day, Sanders had made the 90-minute drive to Starkville with a few other members of his staff to study how Mississippi State operates.
“I want to be great,” Sanders said the next day, back on campus at JSU. “So when I go to places like I went yesterday, that’s for me, too. That’s just not for my coaches. I want to see how this is run. I want to see how can I improve practice. I want to see what can I do different or where am I falling short, and I challenged myself to go to another level.”
Last season, Sanders' second as Jackson State head coach, the Tigers went 11-2 and won the Southwestern Athletic Conference. Then Sanders signed two Power Five-level recruits to the HBCU, an unprecedented recruiting feat.
Heading into the 2022 season, Sanders has emerged as maybe the most fascinating potential head-coaching candidate in college football.
Adding to the intrigue is the state of Sanders' old school. Once-mighty Florida State began Year 3 under coach Mike Norvell trying to snap a string of four straight losing seasons.
“I don’t look down the street that far. I dominate the moment, man,” Sanders told AP.
Recent hiring trends in major college football are working against Sanders jumping straight from Jackson State to a Power Five conference school.
Just going from the second-tier of Division I football, where Jackson State competes, to the Bowl Subdivision is an increasingly rare move. Making the jump from an HBCU to FBS is even rarer and going from the SWAC to a Power Five school is unheard of.
Then again, Sanders, 55, has always been one-of-one.
Prime Time made cornerback a glamour position during his time at Florida State in the late 1980s. He played 10 years of Major League Baseball while simultaneously being one of the best players in the NFL throughout the 1990s.
“You don’t get to become considered the best, running with the rest,” Sanders said.
Sanders has discussed job openings with officials from at least three Power Five schools, including Florida State when it hired Norvell in 2019.
“Killed it. Nailed all the interviews,” Sanders said.
He impressed at least one athletic director enough that a preliminary conversation, done as a favor to Sanders' then-agent, led to a second, more formal interview.
Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek said he went into his initial meeting with Sanders back in 2019 with no expectations.
“I was blown away,” Yurachek told AP. “He was very well prepared. He had done research on our program. He had done research on recruits. He could talk about the SEC.”
At that time, Sanders was still coaching at a Dallas-area high school that he helped launch. His lack of experience was too much to overcome.
Still, Yurachek considered the potential impact Sanders could have on the recruiting trail in the SEC, trying to sway some of the most sought-after high school players in the country away from Alabama's Nick Saban and Georgia's Kirby Smart.
"Can the name Deion Sanders and his presence in the home of a young man be enticement enough for that young man to come here institution?" Yurachek asked himself.
Apparently so.
Last December, Jackson State was the story of signing day when five-star cornerback Travis Hunter backed off a longtime commitment to Florida State in favor of Sanders and the Tigers. Then in February, JSU signed four-star receiver Kevin Coleman.
Sanders swooping in to swipe Florida State's top recruit was yet another stinging loss for beleaguered Seminoles fans.
Sanders concedes he had a falling out with Florida State after the Bobby Bowden and his longtime defensive coordinator, Mickey Andrews, were nudged into retirement by the school in 2009.
That's all behind him now. The Hunter situation was nothing personal.
“I ain’t got no quarrels with Florida State,” Sanders said. “Everything is competition. Travis didn’t belong to them.”
Could a return to Tallahassee be in Sanders' in the near future? It doesn't seem likely.
Norvell has strong support from athletic director Michael Alford, who extended the coach's contract after the 'Noles bounced back from an 0-4 start with a 5-3 finish in 2021.
Even a small step forward in 2022, should be enough for Florida State to stay the course. The Seminoles opened the season with an easy victory against Duquesne last week, but face a much stiffer test Sunday against LSU.
Florida State can't afford to be impatient with Norvell. The school is still paying off Willie Taggart's $14 million buyout, and another eight-figure payout to a fired coach would be difficult to absorb —especially with Florida State focused on improving outdated facilities and infrastructure.
“We just had to modernize our operation and show investments in the program,” Alford said.
Still, fans are more fickle than ever these days. There is a point — 4-8? 3-9? — where the question becomes: Will it cost more in fan and donor apathy to keep this coach than it does to fire him?
And does that calculation change if Coach Prime is still killing it at JSU?

Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has joined Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen on a season-long loan deal.
However, the Blues have an option to recall the 21-year-old England international in January under the agreement.
A club statement said: “Callum Hudson-Odoi will spend the rest of the 2022/23 season on loan in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen.
“The Cobham graduate moves to the Bundesliga for the rest of the campaign, having been an unused substitute in our last three Premier League fixtures. The Blues have the option to recall Callum in January.
“Hudson-Odoi will now have the chance to enjoy regular top-flight and European football at Leverkusen, who finished third in the Bundesliga last season and have been drawn in Group B of the Champions League, alongside Atletico Madrid, Bruges and Porto.”
Academy graduate Hudson-Odoi joined Chelsea as an Under-8 and made his senior debut as a substitute in an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Newcastle in January 2018.
He has 126 appearances and 16 goals to his name and was capped by his country for the first time at senior level as an 18-year-old from the bench in a 5-0 Euro 2020 qualifier win over the Czech Republic in March 2019.
However, injuries have blighted his progress since and he has been unable to establish himself at Stamford Bridge under Thomas Tuchel with his last game coming in an FA Cup tie against Luton in March.
The midfielder told Bayer’s official website: “The move to Germany is really exciting for me and I can play in the Champions League with Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
“That combination is really attractive and I’m keen to get to know the club, the fans and the Bundesliga. Kai Havertz only had good things to say about it to me in the Chelsea dressing room.” | https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/chelsea-winger-callum-hudson-odoi-joins-bayer-leverkusen-on-season-long-loan-41947074.html | 2022-08-30T14:45:10Z | https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/chelsea-winger-callum-hudson-odoi-joins-bayer-leverkusen-on-season-long-loan-41947074.html | false | 10 |

Which bill counter is best?
If you need to deal with large amounts of cash quickly, you need a bill counter. Using one can save you hours of work if you’re in the right job or own the right business, but that doesn’t mean you can use just any counter. You need one that moves with the right mix of speed and capacity.
The best bill counter is the Teraputics Money Counter Elite. It can go through over 1,000 bills in a minute, can run for six hours continuously and can detect counterfeit bills.
What to know before you buy a bill counter
Hopper
The hopper is what holds the bill to be counted. They can hold as few as roughly 100 or up to 500-plus. Most hoppers require you to place your bills as neat and evenly as possible to avoid jams and other issues, but better hoppers give you some wiggle room. Additionally, some hoppers can be added to while a count is in progress, whereas others need to finish the load first.
Speed
The speed of a bill counter is self-explanatory — faster counters count more bills in a shorter time frame. The slowest can count roughly 500 bills a minute, or about eight bills a second, while the fastest can count 2,000-plus bills a minute, or about 33-plus bills a second.
Don’t forget to consider the hopper size. You don’t want a fast counter with a small hopper.
What to look for in a quality bill counter
Mixed bills
Most bill counters can only count the total number of bills that pass through it and not the value of those bills. If you regularly have a large number of mixed bills to go through, you should prioritize a counter that can differentiate between them. Otherwise, you waste too much time separating them. You’ll also have a permanent risk that the wrong denomination gets counted in the wrong pile.
You do have to pay extra for this feature, but your savings in time is incalculable.
Foreign currency
If you deal with multiple forms of currency, you can find bill counters that handle more than just U.S. dollars. Low-cost counters with foreign currency detection still only count the total quantity. High-cost counters can count the value, but you might need to manually input said value and only count like-denomination bills at once.
Run time
Considering the high speeds of bill counters, it’s only natural that they’re prone to overheating. However, to overheat even a basic counter takes running it for at least an hour or two without stopping while the very best find ways to mitigate heat generation entirely. If your job or business uses a bill counter continuously and all day, triple-check that it’s rated for continuous and constant use.
Self-testing and error detection
Bill counters are more complex than they look and many issues can arise. As such, the best counters will automatically perform a self-test at certain times to see if anything is amiss and can tell you specifically what the problem is. Those with specific error detection are also able to give you more details if they detect a counterfeit bill.
How much you can expect to spend on a bill counter
They can cost as little as $50 or as much as $1,000. Small counters for at-home use shouldn’t cost more than $100 while the average counter costs $100-$300. Anything more than $300 is for serious business.
Bill counter FAQ
Can a bill counter only count bills?
A. Depending on the hopper, no. They might be able to count just about anything that has the same rough size, shape and material as most currencies, such as various kinds of tickets and cards.
Can bill counters detect counterfeit bills?
A. The best can, using one or more methods to catch them.
- Ultraviolet light, or black light, detection is used to check for watermarks that can’t be seen by the naked eye.
- Infrared light detection is also to check for watermarks that can’t be seen by the naked eye, but on a different spectrum than ultraviolet light.
- Magnetic detection checks whether the bills have magnetic properties, something U.S. dollars have due to the special kind of ink they use.

Innovative solutions will focus on lighting, HVAC, water conservation and more
ATLANTA, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Southern Company system is partnering with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to increase energy efficiency in 12 federal buildings across Georgia, reducing GSA's carbon footprint and improving overall sustainability. Innovative solutions from the Southern Company system will focus on three key areas – energy efficiency, resiliency and greenhouse gas reductions.
Southern Company subsidiaries Atlanta Gas Light and PowerSecure are coordinating the improvements, planned for completion in 2024, and are expected to reduce GSA's annual energy and water costs by nearly $3.3 million.
The GSA announced the award of the $117 million Utility Energy Service Contract, which is part of the Biden-Harris Administration's Climate Smart Buildings Initiative. The improvements are expected to enhance building performance and efficiency, while reducing operating costs by approximately 45%. In addition, carbon emissions are expected to be reduced by 18,000 to 21,000 metric tons per year across all 12 GSA buildings.
"This project is a model for how public-private partnerships bring immense value to solving federal government challenges," said Chris Cummiskey, executive vice president and Chief Commercial and Customer Solutions Officer for Southern Company. "Southern Company sourced expertise across our portfolio of companies to help ensure government requirements are met in the most reliable, holistic and economical manner possible, demonstrating our commitment to lead the utility sector to a clean energy economy."
"The investments we're making in Georgia demonstrate how investing in sustainability is a triple win – creating good-paying clean-energy jobs, reducing energy costs, and tackling climate change to help ensure a healthier future for the next generation," said GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan.
The project will replace and modernize equipment, such as chillers and boiler plants, air and water distribution and direct digital control systems. In addition, improvements will also include the conversion of more than 60,000 light fixtures to LED technology, as well as the installation of high-efficiency water fixtures. The project is expected to cut energy consumption by 40-50 percent across the 12 sites.
Also included is a $944,000 grant from the Department of Energy to reclaim water for use inside the buildings, and $900,000 in utility rebates.
Six of the facilities are located within metro Atlanta, along with buildings in Athens, Augusta, Valdosta, Macon and Brunswick. This includes the Martin Luther King Jr., Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center, and Richard B. Russell federal buildings in Atlanta.

China is deploying 2 huge drones to seed rain amid a record drought that has taken over half the country and hit economic activity
- A historic drought has hit China's Sichuan province, a major hydropower producer.
- This has led to power cuts that have affected industrial production, including operations at Toyota.
- China has deployed two huge drones to seed clouds in the province since Thursday.
China has deployed two huge drones to seed clouds in the southwestern province of Sichuan where a historic drought has affected hydropower production.
The move comes amid a record heatwave that has engulfed swathes of China, covering almost half of the country, according to its National Climate Center. The situation is particularly pronounced in Sichuan, a major hydropower producer that supplies cities like Jiangsu and Shanghai, which are more than 1,000 miles away.
To improve the situation, the two drones deployed on Thursday will eventually cover an area in Sichuan spanning 2,317 square miles, according to state-owned CCTV. The cloud seeding operation will be carried out until Monday.
Communist Party-owned People's Daily also reported the news.
The extreme weather, which has persisted for over 70 days, is starting to weigh on China's industrial activity and economic growth.
Since the start of August, hydropower plants in Sichuan have been operating below 50% of their regular capacity, China's Caixin media outlet reported on Tuesday. This has led to power cuts in Sichuan, leading auto giant Toyota and Apple supplier Foxconn to suspend operations.
The dry weather has also damaged crops and could hurt the fall harvest, thus sending China to compete for exports from the international markets and driving up already high food prices.
Even though the drought appears severe, it's still better than last year, when power cuts were more widespread, noted ING's chief economist for Greater China, Iris Pang.
"We have yet to see factory suspension in key cities, which is a relief to the government as the economy is already weak," Pang wrote in a Thursday note, estimating the power shortage to have impacted around 1% of China's GDP so far.

Stolen bike recovered 1,000 miles from home
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A bike that was reported stolen in Greenville, South Carolina eight months ago was recently found in Vermont.
The bike’s owner, Preston Spratt, said his hopes of getting the bike back were dwindling until he received a call from Vermont.
“At first I thought this was going to be a Western Union money request to get my bike back, but the perfect person found the bicycle,” Spratt told WCAX.
Erik Thomsen said he saw an odd marketplace post for a bike and decided to check it out.
“They said they had painted an apartment and traded the work for the bike,” Thomsen explained.
Thomsen ended up with the bike and discovered it was stolen by looking up its serial number on Bike Index, a national bike registry.
“It was definitely the bicycle, complete to where the sticky mark where the police sticker I got here in Greenville had been removed,” Spratt said.
Now, an REI store in Vermont is working to return the bike to Spratt in South Carolina.
It’s unclear how the bike ended up in Vermont.

UFC fighter Molly McCann promises to do 'everything she can' for Olivia Pratt-Korbel's community
Molly McCann has promised that she will do "everything she can" to help the community still reeling after the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
The UFC star and anti-gun campaigner made the emotional vow to residents of Kingsheath Avenue, where Olivia was shot, as she left flowers for the nine-year-old.
Olivia was killed when a gunman chased his intended target, named as convicted burglar Joseph Nee, into her family home, also injuring Olivia’s mother, Cheryl.
Holding back tears, the champion fighter from Liverpool vowed to residents still recovering from the tragedy: "I promise you, I'll do everything I can."
Molly, 36, works with Weapons Down Gloves Up [WDGU] to help tackle violent crime and says she does everything she can to help children stay off the streets in Liverpool.
UFC fighter Molly McCann promises residents of Dovecot to do everything she can to help after Olivia's murder.
Molly's visit comes as Merseyside Police crackdown on organised crime in the city, with more than 30 arrests made in 24 hours.
The shakedown follows the fatal shooting of Olivia, as well as Sam Rimmer, 22, and 28-year-old Ashley Dale, who were all killed over the course of a week.
The force says the murders have left the communities reeling, but information being given to the police is still coming in and being acted on.
Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Kameen said: “Our resources have been significantly boosted by officers from across the UK and we will leave no stone unturned in our search for those who killed nine-year old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, Ashley Dale and Sam Rimmer."
McCann says people need to keep the pressure on police to get justice for Olivia.
But Molly says the community needs to "keep the pressure" on the police so the families of the murder victims can have justice.
"I feel like we're a week on and the public don't really know any more", she explains.
"The public still really need to be on at the police and keep the pressure up so they can keep on doing their job and find somebody to be held accountable for what's happened.
"I don't think the city will ever get over it if no-one is caught - justice has not been served."
Ian Bryne, member of parliament for Liverpool and West Derby, said: "The police have been overwhelmed with the information that they're receiving from the community and from the city.
"There's a huge issue nationally with gun and knife crime. Like any major city, Liverpool has criminality.
"Where there's criminality, there's fear. It's had a huge impact on the city and the number of arrests is very telling."
MP Ian Bryne appeals to people of Liverpool to come forward with information
Mr Byrne continued to appeal to people who know anything about the murders of Olivia, Sam and Ashley to speak to Merseyside Police.
He said: "They need to come forward and make sure that the police have all the information so the people that are responsible for what we have seen - the horror that they have brought onto the family of Olivia and this community - they need to come give the people up.
"We need to get these people off the streets."
Two men arrested over Olivia’s murder were bailed on Saturday, 27 August.
A 36-year-old man, from Huyton, was recalled to prison after breaching the terms of his licence.
Both he and a 33-year-old man, from Dovecot, were arrested on suspicion of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
A man, 25, and a 21-year-old woman, both from Liverpool, were arrested on Wednesday, 24 August, in connection with the murder of Ashley Dale.
Both of them now have now been conditionally bailed to a later date pending further police enquiries.
Meanwhile, four people have been arrested on suspicion of murdering Sam Rimmer, from Dingle. Three of which have been bailed.

Russia divestment promises by US states largely unfulfilled
Driven by moral outrage over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, U.S. governors and other top state officials made it clear: They wanted to cut their financial ties with Russia.
A few states quickly followed through. Idaho sold $300,000 of bonds in a Russian oil company in early March. A day before the invasion, the Kentucky Teachers Retirement System sold its shares in the Russian bank Sberbank.
But those examples are outliers. Six months into a war that has killed thousands of Ukrainians and displaced over 12 million more, most of the pledges to drop Russian investments — some made with great fanfare during news conferences — have gone unfulfilled, according to an Associated Press review, state retirement administrators and firms that invest state funds.
Swift global reaction has cut off much of Russia's economy from the rest of the world. That has made it nearly impossible for divestment by state pension funds, university endowments and other public-sector holdings — as well as private investments such as those in 401(k) accounts.
“These pension funds want to get out, but it’s just not realistic to sell everything in the current environment,” said Keith Brainard, research director at the National Association of State Retirement Administrators.
Benjamin Smith, a spokesperson for the Rhode Island treasury, said the factors that make it hard to divest also show that a worldwide effort to isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin is working.
“This is good news because it means that pressure from investors across the world, including Rhode Island, is succeeding in exacting a toll on the Russian economy, making it more difficult for Putin to fund his military operation, state-owned companies, and corrupt network of oligarchs,” he said in an email, noting that Rhode Island's pension plan exposure in Russia never exceeded 0.3% of its assets.
Any pre-war investments in Russia are now worthless, or nearly so. That's raising questions from some officials and fund managers about whether divesting is even necessary.
In Hawaii, one of a handful of states where top administration officials did not pledge to divest, Gov. David Ige said at a May 5 news conference that the state's employee pension system had “very little to almost nothing” invested in Russia.
“The few remaining investments are quite small, and so I didn’t feel compelled to just make a statement for political reasons that we would be divesting,” he said.
Before Russia's invasion in late February, many government-controlled investments had only small holdings — a fraction of 1% in every reported case — in Russian investments. But even that could amount to millions of dollars.
The largest U.S. public-sector retirement fund, California’s CalPERS, said just 17 cents of every $100 of its portfolio was in Russian investments as the war broke out. Even so, that translated into $765 million worth of stocks, real estate and private equity.
By the end of June, the value had shrunk to $194 million. The entire loss was because the holdings dropped in value; none had been sold.
There is no way to know how much state government entities in the U.S. have invested in Russia or companies based there, but collectively they were worth billions of dollars before the war. Much of the money was invested in Russian government bonds, oil and coal companies as part of emerging-markets index funds.
Quick to condemn the invasion, state officials said they could put pressure on Putin by dumping their Russian investments.
“Our moral imperative before these atrocities demand that you act to address Russia’s aggressions and immediately restrict Russian access to California’s capital and investments,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote in a letter Feb. 28 to the boards overseeing the massive pension funds that serve teachers, state and local government workers and university employees.
Across the country, governors and other top officials made similar statements.
Just after the invasion began, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order calling for divestment “to the extent possible,” while Arizona's Board of Regents voted to exit any Russian investments.
The treasurers for 36 states plus the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands signed a joint letter in March advocating divestment of publicly controlled funds from Russia. They noted a financial reason for doing so: “The current crisis also constitutes a substantial risk for states’ investments and our economic security.”
A major chunk of the government holdings in Russia are in the form of index funds that investors use to mimic overall stock market performance. Russian stocks were commonly part of funds specializing in emerging markets. MCSI and other firms that decide which stocks should be in the funds quickly dropped Russian securities.
But the companies that sell investment products based on those indexes were left in the lurch, still leaving pieces of Russian stocks in their investors' portfolios.
As part of the sanctions, stock markets in the U.S. and elsewhere stopped the trading of Russian stocks. And the Moscow Stock Exchange was closed for nearly a month, reopening with tight controls that keep U.S. investors from selling.
The assets sank in value amid the invasion, though the precise value isn't always clear.
Maryland said that as of the beginning of February, $197 million of its state retirement and pension system funds were invested in Russian assets. A month later, the state estimated the value had plunged and amounted to just $32 million. The state has been unable to unload its investments.
For the handful of states in which top officials have not endorsed divestment, eroding values like that are a main reason.
Shortly after the invasion, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said the amount of state investments in Russia was “miniscule” and noted that the value was about to “shrink to almost nothing as the Russian economy is being virtually shut off from the world.”
In Florida, Lamar Taylor, the interim executive director of the agency that oversees investments of pension funds, said during a cabinet meeting that some investment managers might seek to unload Russian assets as soon as they’re able, while others could hold on in case they’re worth more later.
At the meeting, Gov. Ron DeSantis said the State Board of Administration has a legal responsibility to try to make money for the retirement system.
“That would violate your fiduciary duty, if you liquidated at massive losses for political reasons rather than for the best interests of the beneficiaries,” he said.
But DeSantis said there was a way to make it easier: Lawmakers passing a bill banning investment in Russia.
“If the Legislature could speak clearly, that would be something we’d welcome here, just to make sure we’re not furthering investments in parts of the world that are not reflective of our interests or values,” he said.
Hank Kim, executive director of the National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems, said he has told member pension funds that taking steps to divest is important even if it can’t be completed right away.
"The public has a right to know that it was debated in a serious manner,” he said.

Euro zone yields steady as German inflation hits nearly 50-yr high
Euro zone government bond yields steadied on Tuesday just below the multi-week highs hit on Monday as energy prices cooled down and a jump in expectations for an interest rate hike eased. Trading was choppy however with yields clawing back an initial drop after data showed German inflation rose to its highest level in almost 50 years in August, keeping pressure on the European Central Bank to raise rates further when it meets on Thursday next week.
Euro zone government bond yields steadied on Tuesday just below the multi-week highs hit on Monday as energy prices cooled down and a jump in expectations for an interest rate hike eased.
Trading was choppy however with yields clawing back an initial drop after data showed German inflation rose to its highest level in almost 50 years in August, keeping pressure on the European Central Bank to raise rates further when it meets on Thursday next week. "It is very clear that hardly any current central banker has seen inflation rates as high as they are now in his or her professional life," said ING economist Carsten Brzeski.
"This is why for the ECB, today's increase in German headline inflation will further heat up the internal debate on what to do next," he added. Dutch central bank chief Klaas Knot said on Tuesday that frontloading in rate hikes should not be ruled out, although ECB chief economist Philip Lane said the bank should raise rates on step-by-step basis.
Bond yields had climbed 12 to 20 basis points on Monday when money markets ramped up their bets to a two-thirds chance of the ECB delivering a huge 75 basis point hike next month, after a round of policymaker warnings about inflation. That move higher in rate expectations faded on Tuesday, with the chances of a 75 bps hike priced in falling to as low as 52% , but recovered to 56% after the German inflation data. That compares to the 24% chance priced in last week.
The rise in rate expectations on Monday followed ECB board member Isabel Schnabel warning of rising risks that long-term inflation expectations could "de-anchor" from the bank's 2% target. She said surveys suggested that inflation was denting public trust in central banks. "It's going to be a close call and will depend in large part on the August CPI data out this week," said BBH strategist Win Thin, adding that large-scale ECB rate hikes could be quite disruptive for the region's struggling economy.
Euro zone flash inflation numbers for August are due on Wednesday and economists expect another record-breaking rise of 9% compared to 8.9% in July. By 1402 GMT, Germany's 10-year yield traded at 1.490% , down 1.5 basis points on the day but close to the two-month high reached on Monday of 1.548%.
The two-year bond yield, sensitive to interest rate expectations, edged up 2.6 bps at 1.12%, also near Monday's high. French, Spanish and Italian 10-year yields were down 2.8, 1.6 and 1.4 bps respectively.
Weighing on yields was a drop in natural gas prices after they rocketed to record highs last week. Also on Tuesday, data showed economic sentiment fell more than expected in August, but markets were little moved.

Long COVID in children is less common than in adults? Here's what a new study says
The risk for post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), or long COVID appears to be higher in children younger than five years of age, those with medical complexity and those admitted to the intensive care unit, the researchers said.
The risk of long COVID in children appears to be lower than what has been reported in adults, according to a study conducted in the US. Some people who have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus can experience long-term effects from their infection which can last for months. The study, published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, found that many of the symptoms children experience post-COVID-19 are similar to those seen in adults, but there are some features more unique to kids, such as hair loss, skin rashes and diarrhea.
The risk for post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), or long COVID appears to be higher in children younger than five years of age, those with medical complexity and those admitted to the intensive care unit, the researchers said.
"There has been a critical need to understand the impact of COVID-19 in children both in the short as well as long-term,” said Suchitra Rao, infectious disease specialist at Children's Hospital Colorado, US. (Also Read: Long Covid in kids: How common it is, symptoms, treatment, all you want to know)
"This is one of biggest studies we know of to explore what the post-acute sequelae look like in kids," Rao said.
The study used electronic health record data of 659,286 children tested for SARS-CoV-2 and compared children who tested positive with those who tested negative.
The analysis used data of children and people younger than 21 years of age who underwent testing for SARS-CoV-2 between March 1, 2020, and October 31, 2021.
The researchers identified conditions, symptoms and medications associated with PASC in the one to six months following testing.
Out of 660,000 children who underwent testing, 9 per cent were positive and most were tested as outpatients, they said.
The study found that symptoms most strongly associated with infection included changes in loss of smell and taste, hair loss, chest pain, abnormal liver enzymes, skin rashes, fever and chills, fatigue and malaise.
Conditions most strongly associated with infection included myocarditis, acute respiratory distress and myositis, the researchers said.
There was also a higher association with mental health treatment among children who tested positive for PASC compared with those who tested negative, they said. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/health/long-covid-in-children-is-less-common-than-in-adults-here-s-what-a-new-study-says-101661847642833-amp.html | 2022-08-30T14:56:32Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/health/long-covid-in-children-is-less-common-than-in-adults-here-s-what-a-new-study-says-101661847642833-amp.html | true | 6 |

Careers on the Suncoast features a series of job experiences and opportunities in Sarasota County, Florida, as told by its residents.
SARASOTA, Fla., Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
Establishing an HR Company in Sarasota County's Business Friendly Ecosystem
Sarasota County is a paradise visited by people all around the world, many who make the destination an annual trip to make family memories. But for some, just an annual trip isn't enough - they're ready to live in Sarasota County.
Take Tina Taylor for instance - she is the President of HR Elements, an outsource Human Resources company based in Dayton, OH. Tina grew up in Cincinnati and has a long career working in HR for companies like Deloitte and Fifth-Third Bank. With her incredible experience in the field, Tina opened her own outsource HR company to help support small businesses who needed human resources services, but didn't have the resources to have their own department. Seeing a hole desperately needing to be filled, Tina founded HR Elements and based it in Dayton, Ohio.
She continued operating her business in the Midwest, offering HR services to businesses ranging from 20 to 40,000 employees.
In 2020, one of HR Elements' employees relocated to Venice to work remotely and support her family. She continued working for HR Elements, expressing her love for the community and the ample opportunity the community had for growth, which piqued Tina's curiosity. After another employee relocated to Sarasota, Tina decided to explore the area for herself.
She found she loved the area so much that she wanted to move HR Element's headquarters to Sarasota. After working with Sarasota County's Economic Development Corporation, HR Elements expanded to Florida and Tina was soon living in the Sunshine State.
Today, Tina lives in Venice and is searching for a permanent home in Sarasota. HR Elements has offices in Ohio, Kentucky, and now Sarasota County.
Since its relocation, HR Elements has hired multiple Sarasota County residents and continues to grow. Tina feels a strong sense of community here and looks forward to expanding her business further. But there's so much more - from the stunning, sandy beaches to the sprawling state parks, there is never-ending excitement in Sarasota County.
Tina knows she's found the place she wants to call home for years to come.

DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded study found that pregnant people are exposed to a variety of dangerous chemicals commonly found in household products. People can be exposed to these chemicals through the air, contaminated food, household dust, water, plastics, products that contain dyes and pigments, and many other sources.
This study used new methods to measure the levels of 45 chemicals in urine samples from 171 pregnant people participating in the NIH Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program. Two of these chemicals, melamine and cyanuric acid, were found in over 99% of study participants, and exposure to four different types of aromatic amines were also found in nearly all participants. Levels of these chemicals were higher among Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black participants and those exposed to tobacco smoke.
"This is the first national study to reveal that pregnant people in the U.S. are widely exposed to melamine, cyanuric acid, and aromatic amines—chemicals that may be harmful to maternal health and child development," said Giehae Choi, PhD.
ECHO Program investigators Dr. Choi and Jessie Buckley, PhD, both of Johns Hopkins University, along with Tracey Woodruff, PhD, MPH of the University of California, San Francisco led this collaborative research effort published in Chemosphere.
Choi, G. et al. Exposure to melamine and its derivatives and aromatic amines among pregnant women in the United States: The ECHO Program. Chemosphere. DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135599
About ECHO: ECHO is a nationwide research program supported by the NIH. Launched in 2016, ECHO aims to enhance the health of children for generations to come. ECHO investigators study the effects of a broad range of early environmental influences on child health and development. For more information, visit echochildren.org.
About the NIH: NIH, the nation's medical research agency, includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIH is the primary federal agency conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and is investigating the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases.

- Chelsea close to bringing in new striker
- Aubameyang wants future decided ASAP
- Barca hoping to sign Blues' Marcos Alonso
WHAT'S HAPPENING? Chelsea are edging closer to signing Aubameyang, GOAL understands, having agreed personal terms with the striker. Barca want £21.4m for the Gabon international and talks between the two clubs are progressing well.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Aubameyang is set to pen an initial two-year contract at Stamford Bridge with an option for a further year. The player is hoping to have his future decided swiftly, as he is currently staying in a hotel after he was the victim of a home invasion and robbery last week. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has a close relationship with Aubameyang from their time together at Borussia Dortmund, and after a wobbly start to 2022-23, the head coach hopes the Gabon international can bring a spark to the club.
AND WHAT'S MORE: Barcelona are hoping that Aubameyang's departure - and the potential exit of Miralem Pjanic - will free up funds and allow them to strengthen before the transfer window closes. GOAL understands they are confident of securing a deal for Chelsea left-back Alonso.
IN THREE PHOTOS:
WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA? Chelsea will have to fare without Aubameyang for their next game, a trip to St Mary's to take on Southampton on Tuesday evening. | https://www.goal.com/en-ph/news/chelsea-agree-personal-terms-aubameyang-barcelona-transfer/blt79d089153179474a | 2022-08-30T15:05:21Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ph/news/chelsea-agree-personal-terms-aubameyang-barcelona-transfer/blt79d089153179474a | true | 11 |

“I just didn’t know what it meant to have money. I was eating the $3 knishes on the street,” says Issa Rae in Direct Deposit: What Happens When Black People Get Rich, a new podcast from Audible premiering Oct. 13.
Tech entrepreneur-turned-author Chad Sanders (Black Magic: What Black Leaders Learned From Trauma and Triumph) hosts the eight-episode series, which was inspired by his own experiences as both struggling writer and up-and-coming Hollywood scribe, mentored by Spike Lee and writing for HBO Max’s Rap Sh!t. To help him navigate the changes that come with rising fortunes – particularly as they pertain to the unique dynamics of Black wealth – he speaks to a number of high-profile guests from the worlds of entertainment, business and sports, including Rae (creator of Rap Sh!t), Charles D. King, Gabrielle Union, Soledad O’Brien, beauty influencer Jackie Aina, Slutty Vegan founder Pinky Cole and elite NFL quarterback trainer Quincy Avery.
“I think it’s a very Black thing to feel responsible for the people around you and to make sure that they’re good and to not feel good until they are,” Rae continues in her episode.
Sanders also created and co-hosts the Quitters podcast with Modern Family alumna Julie Bowen.

BALTIMORE, Md. — Most teachers will tell you the best part of their workday comes from their students.
"They're so funny, so smart. They can do so much more than I think people give children credit for being able to do and think about,” said Carissa Ruffin, a first-time teacher.
Ruffin teaches third-grade math in one of Baltimore's public schools.
"I believe that everyone deserves a high-quality education," she said. "I knew that I wanted to be part of that change to help make sure that all students are getting the future that they deserve and that they are able to achieve."
In schools around the country, though, there is a problem—there are not enough teachers and staff. The nation is seeing an education exodus, exacerbated by the pandemic.
Several states are taking steps to deal with the issue. In Florida, the state’s Department of Education is issuing "temporary teaching certificates" to veterans with no teaching experience and no college degree. In Arizona, they changed state law to remove the requirement that teachers have a bachelor's degree. Meanwhile, in Texas, some districts are moving to four-day school days to deal with the teacher shortage.
Though brand new to the profession, Ruffin understands what may trigger some teachers to leave.
"It's easy to see why teachers might quit. There's a lot of things up against you,” she said. “Like the standards; there's testing. There's not always pay. There's not always resources. There's not always staff to help support you in the building."
"It's a compounding of challenges, I think,” said Francesca Gamber, with Urban Teachers in Baltimore and a former school principal.
Urban Teachers is a nonprofit program that works with new teachers in school districts in a number of cities, including Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Dallas.
"Many of them are recent college graduates. We have some career changers,” Gamber said. “They are folks who are who are passionate about working with young people and about supporting our public education system."
The four-year program guides new teachers through those crucial early years in the classroom with a lot of support, including one-on-one mentoring and training.
"What we really strive to do is wrap our teachers in a community of support," Gamber said. “They spend the first year as a resident teacher with a host teacher. So, they really get a year to get the experience and take on increasing degrees of independence in the classroom."
Carissa Ruffin is one of 30 teachers in Baltimore with Urban Teachers. She is paired up in a classroom with an experienced educator. She said it's invaluable support new teachers everywhere could use in their districts.
"I think the first thing that people can do at all levels is just to believe in the teachers," she said, adding, "I think it's very important that parents are involved in the classroom."
Educators believe it helps when people think back on their own time in school.
"Hopefully, all of us can remember at least one teacher we've had in our lives who was really there for us, who really said that thing that made a difference to us and maybe set us on a path for the rest of our lives," Gamber said.
As she looks to the future, Ruffin hopes to be that teacher for her students, saying, "I see myself teaching forever!" | https://www.wcpo.com/news/national/training-support-goes-a-long-way-in-retaining-educators-in-classrooms | 2022-08-30T15:15:09Z | https://www.wcpo.com/news/national/training-support-goes-a-long-way-in-retaining-educators-in-classrooms | false | 12 |
Seniors live in places other than Florida — shocking! — but for some reason, AT&T and Verizon (AKA The Carriers) only offer discounts to seniors of the Sunshine State. This will not stand. Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) unleashes wireless discounts for ALL seniors as its next Carrier+Callout.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220829005790/en/
AT&T and Verizon Ban 92% of Seniors From Wireless Discounts (Photo: Business Wire)
Seniors need a break now more than ever. According to a Washington+Post+article, inflation is putting an additional strain on the country's 56 million residents over 65, with many relying on fixed incomes and limited savings to cover monthly costs. Seniors have worked long and hard enough and deserve a break when it comes to their wireless plan rate, especially when+75%25+of+the+50+and+over+crowd say they rely on technology to stay connected. Enough is enough!
Where it stands today, there are two ways for age-eligible AT&T and Verizon customers to get a senior discount from one of the three nationwide wireless providers: have a Florida address or switch to a T-Mobile Unlimited 55+ plan. T-Mobile is going to help with both through an information onslaught. Because, as they say, information is power.
BannedSeniors.com
T-Mobile recently launched BannedSeniors.com, a simple and straightforward website that helps seniors get the discount they deserve.
- Get a virtual mailbox – A virtual mailbox is a relatively easy way to get a Florida address and potentially qualify for a Carrier discount. BannedSeniors.com walks users through the process to get an honest-to-gawd real, Florida address. With that address, AT&T and Verizon customers can get a senior discount! One caveat: AT&T makes its customers physically go to a store in Florida to verify eligibility. Womp, womp.
- Buy Florida real estate – We've enlisted the help of legendary Florida real estate agent, Bobby Auerbach, to help discount deprived Verizon and AT&T customers move to the one state they can get a wireless discount without switching providers. Yes, we agree it’s overkill to move to Florida just to get a wireless discount, but that's the world we live in. Take a bow, AT&T and Verizon.
- Switch to T-Mobile – T-Mobile has 55%2B+plans available no matter what state you live in. The basic unlimited plan for people 55 years or older – Essentials 55+ – saves people 50% compared to AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile also has other discounted 55+ plans that include Netflix On Us plus AAA free for a year. Combined with the largest, fastest and most reliable nationwide 5G network, T-Mobile provides incredible value to anyone 55 or older.
Pop-Up Shop for Arizona Seniors
T-Mobile opened a temporary Wireless Discount Information Center at the Arrowhead Towne Center located just outside Sun City, Arizona, which is one of the largest retirement communities in America. More than 1.5 million seniors live in the Grand Canyon State, but they can't even get a wireless discount from two of the three biggest nationwide wireless providers. That’s why T-Mobile will have representatives at the Information Center to help interested AT&T and Verizon customers get a virtual address, connect with Bobby Auerbach, our Florida real estate partner, or switch to T-Mobile.
More to Come
Seniors deserve better, so T-Mobile will continue to fight on behalf of customers getting a raw deal from The Carriers. We’ll continue calling out their poor customer treatment until change happens. The ball's in your court, AT&T and Verizon.

The Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) annually recognizes the leading finance groups for innovation, collaboration and results.
BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast Capital Corporation, Marsh McLennan and Oracle Cerner are finalists for the Association for Financial Professionals' 2022 Pinnacle Award. Sponsored by MUFG (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group NYSE: MUFG), the AFP Pinnacle Award was established in 1997 to recognize excellence in treasury and finance.
Finalists were selected by a jury of treasury and finance professional peers. Decisions were based on innovative solutions that progress the efficiency and effectiveness of their organization's treasury and financial operations. Voting is currently open for the submissions, and the Grand Prize winner will be announced during AFP 2022. MUFG will make a $10,000 donation to a charity of the winner's choice.
"AFP is proud to recognize the 2022 Pinnacle Award finalists, as they represent some of the cutting edge of treasury and finance," said Jim Kaitz, president and CEO of AFP. "The teams at Comcast Capital Corporation, Marsh McLennan and Oracle Cerner have developed unique solutions that advance not only their organizations but also the treasury and finance profession at large."
"MUFG is honored to sponsor the Pinnacle Awards, which acknowledge innovation among treasury and finance professionals who are driving transformation across their organizations to achieve business objectives," said Ranjana Clark, Head of Global Transaction Banking, MUFG. "MUFG supports the AFP's continued commitment to education and recognizing excellence in treasury and finance as demonstrated by these Pinnacle Award finalists."
Register for AFP 2022 by September 16 to save $350. For press inquiries or if you are interested in covering AFP 2022, please contact Melissa Rawak, managing director, at mrawak@afponline.org.
Comcast Capital Corporation's entry focused on a global treasury transformation journey involving the implementation of a global in-house bank (IHB) structure that allowed the company — which had accumulated 100 bank relationships and 3,800 bank accounts across more than 500 entities — to move toward an optimal banking structure, create shared liquidity and access cash in an efficient manner. In the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region, the amount of cash incorporated in a liquidity management structure increased from 55% to 80%, leading to an extra $1 billion+ in available liquidity. Key lessons from the EMEA implementation of the global treasury transformation journey will shape future implementations, including in North America, over the next few years.
Marsh McLennan's entry focused on training a machine learning model to predict client churn, a critical metric for driving business that had previously been calculated through a quarterly, and sometimes even monthly, manual review process. Using several years of transactional invoice data, the model computed the client retention rate in Mexico, achieving the same or slightly better accuracy than the manual process. The model removed manual workload from the financial planning & analysis teams and allowed client teams to proactively manage client relationships. Marsh McLennan is now migrating the model to full implementation and scaling it up to include other countries where the company has a large presence.
Oracle Cerner's entry focused on building a solution to manage the company's data volume in collaboration with internal engineering partners and external vendors and banks. A task force, identified by Treasury, assessed key requirements to achieve the immediate need for compliance, transferred SWIFT BIC Codes, maintained standardization of AL2, and became more independent and future-proof. The task force eliminated a $4 billion payments bottleneck, helped to address potential reputational and financial damage, and delivered a solution that will help the company to refine its processes for years to come.
Headquartered outside of Washington, D.C., and located regionally in Singapore, the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) is the professional society committed to advancing the success of treasury and finance members and their organizations. Established and administered by AFP, the Certified Treasury Professional and Certified Corporate FP&A Professional credentials set standards of excellence in treasury and finance.

Serena’s daughter, Olympia, sports beads, like Mom years ago
NEW YORK (AP) — When Serena Williams won the 1999 U.S. Open for her first Grand Slam title at age 17, she wore white beads in her hair. On Monday night, when Williams won her first match of the 2022 U.S. Open at age 40, her daughter, Olympia, was courtside, sporting a hairstyle paying homage to Mom’s from all that time ago.
“It was either her wear beads or me, so ...” Williams said after beating Danka Kovinic 6-3, 6-3, finishing that thought with a smile. “I wanted to do it, but I just didn’t have the time.”
Williams was pregnant with Olympia while playing in, and winning, the 2017 Australian Open for her 23rd Grand Slam title. Olympia was born later that year and turns 5 on Thursday.
“Yeah, she likes, actually, wearing them. She asks to wear beads a lot,” Williams said. “It actually wasn’t my idea, but I was so happy when she had them on. It’s perfect on her.”
On Monday, Olympia sat in Williams’ player guest box in Arthur Ashe Stadium, at one point snapping pictures with a camera. She was with her father — Williams’ husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian — and her grandmother — Williams’ mom, Oracene Price.
After the match, Williams’ long and influential career was celebrated during an on-court ceremony that included a video narrated by Oprah Winfrey and a speech from Billie Jean King. At the end, Ohanian carried Olympia down on to the court.
“Tonight was all a surprise, actually, towards the end. I didn’t know any of that was happening,” Williams said. “I was just ready to do the on-court interview and leave.”
She has said she is ready to move on from her playing days to focus on having another child and pursuing her business interests.

Antony and Darwin Nunez in previous clash.
When Manchester United and Liverpool meet in March of next year, it will be a reunion for Antony and Darwin Nunez, who were involved in a clash in last season’s Champions League.
The big-money summer signings at Old Trafford and Anfield will have huge expectations placed on them this season, and by the time that meeting comes around, we should have a fair idea as to which club were the wiser spenders.
Antony appears to headbutt Darwin Nunez.
Whatever the case, the pair will be more than familiar with each other after quite literally coming face-to-face at Benfica’s Estadio da Luz in February of this year.
In that last 16 first leg meeting, Nunez was playing for the Portuguese giants while Antony was lining out for Ajax, the club he officially left for Man United on Tuesday afternoon.
In the closing stages of the 2-2 draw, the pair were involved in a tussle on the touchline, before Antony appeared to launch his head into Nunez’s, causing the big striker to fall to the floor.
Antony vs Nunez rivalry reborn 👊🏻
pic.twitter.com/IUq7PCpK6d— United Focus🔰 (@utdfocusid) August 29, 2022
Similarities with Joachim Andersen incident.
The Brazilian winger was booked for the incident, after which the duo were seen to shake hands as tensions cooled.
The irony of Nunez hitting the deck won’t be lost on Premier League fans, after the Uruguayan was sent off for a headbutt on Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen earlier this month.
There were suggestions at that time that Andersen hit the ground a little too easily, an accusation that could also be levelled towards Nunez for his incident involving Antony last season.
View this post on Instagram
A new rivalry?
It’s unlikely that this previous incident will lead to a Roy Keane/Patrick Vieira-style rivalry between the pair, but some United and Liverpool supporters may be glad to see that there’s a little bit of spark within each of their South American attackers.
Nunez joined Liverpool from Benfica earlier this summer for an initial fee of around €75 million, before scoring on his debut in the club’s Community Shield victory over Manchester City.
He followed this up with another strike on his Premier League bow against Fulham, before his sending off against Palace ensured a three-game suspension.
Antony’s move from Ajax to Man United was confirmed by the Old Trafford club on Tuesday, pending a medical and international clearance.

Stolen bike recovered 1,000 miles from home
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A bike that was reported stolen in Greenville, South Carolina eight months ago was recently found in Vermont.
The bike’s owner, Preston Spratt, said his hopes of getting the bike back were dwindling until he received a call from Vermont.
“At first I thought this was going to be a Western Union money request to get my bike back, but the perfect person found the bicycle,” Spratt told WCAX.
Erik Thomsen said he saw an odd marketplace post for a bike and decided to check it out.
“They said they had painted an apartment and traded the work for the bike,” Thomsen explained.
Thomsen ended up with the bike and discovered it was stolen by looking up its serial number on Bike Index, a national bike registry.
“It was definitely the bicycle, complete to where the sticky mark where the police sticker I got here in Greenville had been removed,” Spratt said.
Now, an REI store in Vermont is working to return the bike to Spratt in South Carolina.
It’s unclear how the bike ended up in Vermont.

In the current state of the world, many of us are spending much more time at home. And for those with a taste for spirits, like whiskey, that makes getting a good drink a bit more complicated. There’s a famous quote by Charles Bukowski that says, “That’s the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something terrible happens, you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens, you drink to celebrate; and if nothing happens, you drink to make something happen. ”
Your liquor is up to snuff; there’s only one necessary addition: glassware. Many cocktails are about presentation, and if you enjoy liquor like whiskey, rum, or brandy, there’s no better option for serving them than whiskey glasses. Whiskey glasses also have an attractive appeal to them and will enhance the look of your home bar. As you’ve developed a natural affinity for the spirit, you realize it should be consumed in only the top whiskey glasses. Your question, “What is the best whiskey glass in the world?” “How do I choose the best whiskey glasses?”
To the layman, glass is glass. But a seasoned imbiber understands that having a stiff drink is much more than just a means of getting tipsy. It’s a complete sensory experience. And each part makes a difference in said experience, including the heft of the glass in your hand, the appearance of the spirit sloshing about, the aromas the drink evokes, and the evolving flavours from the moment the drink hits your lips until you swallow it, and — of course — that warm and fuzzy feeling of cultivating the perfect buzz. The glassware you select can make a pretty immense difference in all of that. Proper scotch glasses are an essential part of any home barware collection. While other spirits, such as vodka and tequila, can be poured into any old tumbler, authentic scotch traditionally calls for something more upscale. There’s actual definable science behind some of it—like glasses shaped to open up the bouquet of a single malt scotch, those that eliminate the harshness of ethanol evaporating from a spirit, and even ones made to keep the oils on your skin from contaminating your liquor of choice. Pick the wrong glass, and your drinking endeavour might suffer for many reasons. Pick the right one, and it can elevate the whole experience. Whatever you pick for your poison, a glass can change your whole drinking experience. Some are designed to highlight the spirit, while others are versatile enough for cocktails, neat pours, and beyond. To help you picture it, here are some whiskey glass sets we like quite a lot to round out your home bar setup. From classic-looking options to geometric works of art, form-oriented to experience-first designs, each will help you pour one out with panache.
- Glencairn Crystal Whiskey Glass:These Glencairn crystal whiskey glasses are beloved by whiskey drinkers as they concentrate the aromas—something a rocks glass does not. Each 6-ounce glass shows off the spirit’s colour and smell.
- Sculpted unique whiskey glass:It is art personified in barware and one of the special whiskey glasses. Not only is it perfect for sipping some classic Kentucky rye, but it’s also shaped to fit any hand comfortably. It’s one-of-a-kind, just like the art hanging on your walls.
- Classic Double Old-Fashioned Rocks Glass: The Buckman Glass A classic approach is never wrong when it comes to enjoying whiskey, after all. This Buckman-style glass has everything you need in a whiskey glass. You can enjoy your spirits neat, on the rocks, or even with a mixer.
- Dragon Diamond Whiskey Glasses: The unique shape of the glass helps aerate your drink as it is poured or swirled into the vessel. It rests at a 50-degree angle that’s both anti-rocking and spill-proof.
- The Experience whiskey glass: The glass holds 4 ounces and is wider than the traditional tasting glass. This opening is designed to amplify the aromas and flavour characters of the spirit.
- Golf Ball Whiskey Glass: This has an almost snifter-like shape on the top, which enhances the whiskey flavour by trapping the aroma on top, while the rounded bottom allows the glass to be fully cupped in your hand to warm it up.
- IITTALA ULTIMA THULE FOOTED ON THE ROCKS GLASS: Their exceptional appearance and construction certainly set them apart. They also have the bonus of feet that elevate the glasses off of surfaces, thus helping to avoid the issue of condensation on your bar top.
- Libbey Signature Kentucky Bourbon Trail Whiskey Glasses: These are the official glasses of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, which is probably all that needs to be said. Made from ClearFire glass, they are thin but hearty and feature a wide bowl so you can swirl while you sip. The shape also tapers toward the top to help you soak in aromas. | https://www.europeanbusinessreview.com/top-whiskey-glasses-for-your-home-bar/ | 2022-08-30T15:40:12Z | https://www.europeanbusinessreview.com/top-whiskey-glasses-for-your-home-bar/ | true | 1 |
Important infrastructural works have been completed at Ostend-Bruges Airport. The aircraft parking area in front of the passenger building was renewed. “This is an important step for this airport,” says Bruno De Saegher, chairman of LOM Vlaanderen (the airport infrastructure development company). “These works were necessary to continue to guarantee the safety of air traffic in the future.“
Commissioned by the LOM Flanders, “apron 2” – the central aircraft parking area in front of the passenger building – was completely renovated. This is the airport’s largest aircraft parking area and is used to handle cargo and passenger flights. In addition to “apron 2,” the airport also has the east-facing “apron 1” used for cargo handling, and the west-facing “apron 3” used for general aviation.
“The 160,000 m² aircraft parking lot was excavated to the foundation level and received a new concrete pavement. The service road received a new layer of asphalt. All the sewers under the aircraft parking lot, including those of the Albertus conductor, were also renewed,” says LOM chairman Bruno De Saegher. LOM Flanders invested 12.4 million euros for these works.
The works will extend the life of the aircraft parking lot by another 40 years. This is an important step for the further development of this airport. These works were necessary to continue to guarantee the safety of air traffic in the future. The existing infrastructure was renovated; the works do not lead to an increase in the capacity of the airport.
Progress of the works
From an organizational point of view, the renovation of the aircraft parking area was not straightforward, as the airport remained fully operational during the works. This was possible thanks to the good coordination between the client (LOM Vlaanderen), the contractor (COLAS) and the operator (LEM Oostende-Brugge).
The work started in April 2021 and took place in two major phases. During the first phase, the eastern part of the aircraft parking lot, including the foundation, was broken up and the western part remained in use for air traffic. After the construction of the sub-foundation (in crushed concrete rubble) and the foundation (in lean concrete), two concrete layers totalling 30 cm thick were poured on top of each other. This is necessary to ensure the necessary bearing capacity for the heavier aircraft. In January 2022, the second part of the renovation was started, and the western part was tackled. From then on, aircraft could already use the (renovated) eastern part of the aircraft parking lot. The entire project was completed after just over a year.
During the renovation works, several projectiles from World War II were found. These were always removed safely, and the DOVO demining service also had to come to the site several times. There was never any danger for the airport or local residents, and the disruption to air traffic was always limited.
Much attention to sustainability
Ostend-Bruges Airport attaches great importance to sustainability. Therefore, as much as possible of the concrete of the old surfacing was recycled and reused. For that purpose, a temporary concrete plant was built on the airport site. By recycling the old paving on site, not only was unnecessary dumping of concrete waste avoided, but a lot of driving back and forth by trucks was also saved.
After the old pavement was recycled, it was reused for the underpinning and foundation of the renovated apron. During the renovation, the infrastructure for an electrical connection was also provided on a number of stands, so that aircraft no longer have to use their own power generators when parked. This avoids a great deal of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Ostend Alderman for Business Charlotte Verkeyn said: “I am pleased with the beautiful result of this thorough renovation. This necessary investment should help us to guarantee the crucial role that Ostend Airport plays in Flanders in the years to come.”
Mayor of Ostend Bart Tommelein said: “The airport is a great asset for Ostend. The renewed Apron 2 is the largest aircraft parking and is used for both passenger and cargo flights. The renovation was necessary for the sustainable growth of the airport. The City will continue to support the airport in its further development as an economic hub for all kinds of related and innovative activities.” | https://www.aviation24.be/airports/ostend-bruges/ostend-bruges-airport-takes-in-use-renewed-aircraft-parking-apron-2/ | 2022-08-30T15:41:55Z | https://www.aviation24.be/airports/ostend-bruges/ostend-bruges-airport-takes-in-use-renewed-aircraft-parking-apron-2/ | false | 2 |
Former Sunderland manager Jack Ross has been sacked by Dundee United after just seven games in charge. Ross was dismissed in the aftermath of Sunday's 9-0 home defeat at the hands of Celtic, which the 46-year-old had described as 'humiliating and embarrassing for me, personally and professionally'.
That heavy defeat made it five losses in a row for the Terrors, a sequence which also included a 7-0 scoreline against Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in the Europa Conference League, and 4-1 and 3-0 defeats in the Scottish Premiership against Hearts and St Mirren respectively. His only win as head coach was a 1-0 success in the away leg against AZ, prior to the defeat at Tannadice.
A terse statement issued on Dundee United's official website did not include the customary thank you to a departing boss. It read simply: 'Dundee United can confirm head coach Jack Ross has been relieved of his duties with immediate effect.

'Liam Fox will take charge of the the first team on an interim basis with the focus now fully on Wednesday’s Premier Sports Cup match with Livingston. No further comment will be issued by Dundee United at this stage.'
Ross had previously spent 17 months in charge of Sunderland, having taken over in the summer of 2018 following the club's relegation to League One. In his first season in charge on Wearside, Sunderland reached the play-off final against Charlton Athletic and the EFL Trophy final against Portsmouth, but lost on both occasions.
Ross was sacked by the Black Cats in October of 2019 with the club in sixth place. He went on to spend just over two years in charge of Hibs after leaving Sunderland, before taking on the Dundee United role.
Sunderland played Dundee United in pre-season in mid-July, with the Black Cats winning 2-0 at Tannadice thanks to a goal from Trai Hume and an own-goal from Charlie Mulgrew.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia's populist leader said Tuesday a government decision to cancel the holding next month of a pan-European LGBTQ event will be enforced despite international criticism and the organizers' pledge that they will gather anyway.
President Aleksandar Vucic and the Serbian government have cited threats of violence from right-wing extremists, a crisis with Kosovo and economic problems facing the country amid Russia’s war in Ukraine as the reasons why they cannot handle the Sept. 12-18 events.
The decision announced on Saturday has faced criticism from opposition parties in Serbia and rights activists at home and abroad, who blasted the authorities for not protecting democratic rights and caving in to pressure from extremist groups opposed to the Pride march.
“If a gathering is banned, then it will be banned,” Vucic said. “There will be no games with state decisions.”
Organizers of the EuroPride — which includes a week of various events and a Pride march in Belgrade — have said they are yet to receive a formal ban and will appeal it in Serbia's courts.
“We will use all legal means at our disposal,” Goran Miletic, director of Civil Rights Defenders, told The Associated Press. "If they persist with the ban, we will gather nonetheless and walk together with our friends from abroad.”
Members of the European Pride Organizers Association chose Serbia’s capital three years ago to host the annual event, hoping it would represent a major breakthrough for a Slavic country that is traditionally conservative and under strong influence from the Orthodox Church.
Serbia is formally seeking European Union membership, but has for years been moving closer to Russia’s political orbit. The Balkan country has voted for U.N. resolutions condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but has refused to join Western sanctions against Moscow.
Serbia’s liberal opposition parties and local rights groups have urged supporters to join the Pride march as part of struggle for democracy that they say is under threat in Serbia from Vucic’s autocratic regime.
Miletic said that “damage has been done already” to the reputation of Serbia which has vowed to improve LBGTQ rights as part of the EU integration process. “The opportunity for Belgrade to show its open face and tolerance is gone,” he said.
Holding church symbols and pictures of Russia's President Vladimir Putin, thousands of Pride opponents marched in Belgrade on Sunday. The procession dubbed “for Serbia's salvation” was led by the Serbian branch of the Night Wolves, the Russian biker group that is considered close to Putin.
Right-wing groups in Serbia support Russian invasion of Ukraine and advocate a tough stance on Kosovo, Serbia's former province that declared independence in 2008, which Belgrade does not recognize. Nationalists want Serbia to scrap the EU bid because Belgrade must normalize ties with Kosovo if it wants to join the 27-nation bloc.
Marko Mihajlovic, one of the EuroPride organizers in Serbia, told the AP he believed that Vucic's announcement about the Pride march really served to draw attention away from a deal with Kosovo that was made public only hours later.
“It (Kosovo) is a very unpopular topic,” Mihajlovic said. “Even if they attempt to ban it, we will march, because our lives matter and we won’t stop fighting just because somebody uses us as a political tool.” | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Serbia-populist-leader-Vucic-says-pride-ban-will-17407111.php | 2022-08-30T15:45:33Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Serbia-populist-leader-Vucic-says-pride-ban-will-17407111.php | false | 16 |
US to respond to request for special master for Trump docs
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is set to respond Tuesday to the Trump legal team’s request for a special master to review the documents seized during an FBI search of Mar-a-Lago this month.
The filing is due ahead of a Thursday hearing in which U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is set to hear arguments on the matter.
Trump’s lawyers last week asked for the appointment of a special master who’d be tasked with reviewing the records taken during the Aug. 8 search of Trump’s Florida property and setting aside documents protected by claims of legal privilege. Cannon on Saturday said it was her “preliminary intent” to appoint such a person but also gave the Justice Department an opportunity to respond.
On Monday, the department said it had already completed its review of potentially privileged documents and identified a “limited set of materials that potentially contain attorney-client privileged information.”
In a separate development, the Trump legal team has grown with the addition of another attorney. Chris Kise, Florida’s former solicitor general, has joined the team of lawyers representing Trump, according to two people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to discuss the move by name and spoke on condition of anonymity. Kise did not return messages seeking comment.

The Buffalo Sabres have been on a rollercoaster the past couple of seasons. With the Eichel situation finally being resolved, the team can finally move forward as they try to rebuild this roster. There are lots of things to be excited by, but there are also lots of things to be worried about on this roster.
Off-Season Recap
The off-season was quiet for the Sabres organization, but this is a team hinging on its young talent to be successful. The biggest free agent signing they made was goalie Eric Comrie. Although it may seem like not a big move, he had a very solid year in his rookie year with the Jets in 2021-22. Ilya Lyubushkin was another signing who will be a bottom four defensemen for them. They don’t have another free agent signing on the roster that will make a major impact in 2022-23. Their two biggest departures are probably defensemen Colin Miller and goaltender Dustin Tokarski.
As far as the team’s upgrades go, they come from the farm system. Jack Quinn is going to be a regular next season after debuting in just two games last year. Owen Power is on the same boat as Quinn. He played in eight games a year ago, and should be up for the entirety of the 2022-23 season. Those are the two top prospects in the organization. I do not believe we will see the likes of Isak Rosen or Matthew Savoie, but we should see a good amount of play time in net by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. Also, we may see J.J. Peterka see some time at the NHL-level this season. There is a lot of talent in this farm system, and they will be able to put the best guys they can into the lineup in 2022-23.
Projected Lines
These projected lines come from Daily Faceoff where they update projected lines year round for all of your favorite NHL teams. You can check the Sabres projected lines here. Here is how the lines look as of today:
Forwards
Jeff Skinner – Tage Thompson – Victor Olofsson
Peyton Krebs – Casey Mittelstadt – Alex Tuch
Rasmus Asplund – Dylan Cozens – Jack Quinn
Anders Bjork – Zemgus Girgensons – Kyle Okposo
Defense
Mattias Samuelsson – Rasmus Dahlin
Owen Power – Ilya Lyubushkin
Jacob Bryson – Henri Jokiharju
Goalies
Craig Anderson
Eric Comrie
Expectations
I am going to start with the forwards here. I will get this out of the way first. He definitely contributed last year, but Jeff Skinner has to have the worst contract in the NHL. The Sabres 30-year old winger is signed for five more seasons and will make $9M average annual salary. He scored 33 goals last year, so I am not saying that he doesn’t produce anything. However, he is paid like a perennial superstar, and does not produce like one whatsoever.
His career in Carolina was so up-and-down by season, and he is not a reliable line one guy. As a whole, their top line could really produce again this year. Thompson had a breakout year last season, and Olofsson has shown flashes throughout his career so far. He could have a career year if Skinner matches his numbers from a year ago and Thompson keeps improving.
The second line is very underwhelming. Krebs is still very young and may be in line for a bigger season, but Mittelstadt has not been what the team expected to be since drafting him eighth overall in 2017. Luckily, Tuch is on this line, and he is one of the most underrated players in hockey. He is still just 26 years old, and is clearly a top six forward at the NHL level. He will have a very nice year for them, which may carry Mittelstadt and Krebs to better 2022-23 seasons than last season.
The third line is their “kid line.” Asplund (24), Cozens (21), and Quinn (20) is by far the youngest of the lines on the roster. The potential is through the roof for this group. Two top eight picks as well as a high second round pick all on the same line. I believe this line will wind up being moved around because one or both of Quinn and Cozens will be too successful to have them on the third line. The fourth line is experienced and familiar within the organization for the most part. They should be able to contribute some offense, but I worry about this forward group as a whole in their own end.
Defensively, the new era in Buffalo is finally here. Rasmus Dahlin on the top line with Samuelsson should be a comfortable top pairing. Owen Power will man the second line with free agent signee Lyubushkin next to him. Dahlin and Power will both have a lot of talent around them on the powerplays with all the young kids making their way to the NHL squad this season. Jokiharju and Bryson is kind of meh as a third line. They are both young and still developing, so I like to see them team sticking with all the young guys and letting them get more NHL experience. A lot of times, teams go sign veterans on defense and let youngsters develop at the AHL level, but I believe this experience will be great for all these kids this season.
I get why the team re-signed Anderson in net, but I am not sure why they also brought in Comrie from Winnipeg. They have Luukkonen in the wings ready to take over the starting role. He has shown good flashes at the NHL level. Anderson and Comrie likely will have him starting the year at the AHL level, but I think there is a chance they move off Anderson early in the year to get Luukkonen on the Sabres roster. Assuming Luukkonen gets a hefty amount of games this year, the teams goaltending should be at its’ best in years.
Predictions
Top Performers
Points: 1-Tage Thompson (74), 2-Jack Quinn (71), 3-Alex Tuch (65)
Goals: 1-Tage Thompson (35), 2-Jeff Skinner (29), 3-Victor Olofsson (27)
Assists: 1-Rasmus Dahlin (48), 2-Jack Quinn (46), 3-Alex Tuch (44)
Division Finish
The Sabres are in such a split division that they can only hope to come in fifth place again in the Atlantic. The division is top-loaded with the likes of the Lightning, Leafs, Panthers, and Bruins. It would be a pipe-dream to hope for a top four spot. They finished with 75 points last season, so I believe they can build on that and succeed 80 points in 2022-23. This roster is young and up-incoming. The talent is everywhere, they just need time and experience. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sabres end up being a regular in the playoffs come three years from now. Right now, I will give them the 5-seed in the Atlantic division again with a lot to look forward to for years to come.

The network has been launched Tuesday at an event in Dhaka. It has been informed in the event that the purpose of forming the network is to do advocacy at the local and national level, conduct online awareness campaigns as well as extend mutual cooperation in the activities of organisations of the network to increase the qualitative participation of transgender, women, and youth in the civic sphere.
Faruq Faisel, regional director of ARTICLE 19 South Asia, presided over the event while Barrister Sara Hossain, executive director at Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST).
Imtiaz Ahmed, professor of International Relations and director, Centre for Genocide Studies at the University of Dhaka, Badiul Alam Majumdar, general-secretary at Shushashoner Jonno Nagorik (SHUJAN – Citizens for Good Governance) – a civil society organisation and Snigdha Rezwana, assistant professor at department of Anthropology in the University of Jahangirnagar, spoke at the event as guests.
Among others, ARTICLE 19 South Asia Protection manager Hasina Akhter, senior programme officer Morium Shelly, and executives and representatives of 23 organizations in the network were present at the event.
Speakers at the event said that the civic space in Bangladesh is gradually shrinking. Attempts to inflict absolute control are evident everywhere in the state. Civil society organizations must play a proactive role and raise its voice in getting out of this situation. Therefore, it is important to develop a sense of civic right and responsibility among the citizens.
Badiul Alam Majumdar, secretary for SHUJAN, said, ‘‘It is not possible to bring qualitative as well as positive changes in the state machinery without the active participation of citizens. For this, citizens should be, firstly, aware of their own rights and responsibilities.’’
Professor Imtiaz Ahmed said, ‘‘The civil society of the country is now clearly divided. A significant section of them is now heading abroad in anticipation of a secure future. To better the current situation, they should be brought back to the country. At the same time, it is important to increase investment in the education sector.’’
Barrister Sara Hossain Said, ‘‘In November this year, 50 years of the Constitution of Bangladesh will be celebrated. Various laws enacted during this period have been revised and even repealed in light of the Constitution. However, there is no such effort in abolishing the restrictive laws inherited from the colonial regime. Rather, those laws are being used to curb the rights of citizens of the independent country.’’
Professor Snigdha Rezwana said, ‘‘Colonial law penalized sexual diversity as expression of hatred towards sexually diverse people. At present time, such laws are against human dignity.’’
In his speech, Faruq Faisel, regional director for ARTICLE 19 South Asia, said, ‘‘Betterment and expansion of the civic space are not possible without the concerted effort from and participation of civil society organizations. The Bangladesh Civic Space Network will discuss the impediments and challenges in working on civil rights issues at the local and national levels and come up with a joint course of action to overcome those barriers.’’
Executives and representatives of the 23 organisations in the network highlighted the obstacles and challenges in carrying out activities toward women’s and transgender rights and empowerment at the local level and shared their experiences during the event. | https://en.prothomalo.com/bangladesh/pdvqb9pn66 | 2022-08-30T16:03:13Z | https://en.prothomalo.com/bangladesh/pdvqb9pn66 | true | 1 |

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The top court for nine eastern Caribbean nations and territories has struck down a colonial-era law against homosexual conduct in St. Kitts and Nevis, ruling that sexual orientation is covered by the right to privacy.
LGBTQ activists celebrated the ruling issued Tuesday by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, noting that gay people on the twin-island nation have tended to avoid medical care for fear of losing their job, being assaulted or being prosecuted or stigmatized by health care providers and the government.
The nonprofit St. Kitts & Nevis Alliance for Equality and Jamal Jeffers, a gay man, had sued the small country's attorney general, arguing that the right to liberty allows people to choose an intimate partner and have consensual sex with whomever and however they want.
They also argued that the right to privacy in the local constitution is not limited to protection against unlawful searches.
The St. Lucia-based court found in their favor, with High Court Judge Trevor Ward writing that the sections of the 1873 law dealing with sodomy impinge “upon the claimants’ right to determine the way they, as individuals, choose to express their sexuality in private with another consenting adult.”
The local government had argued that freedom of expression does not apply to to sexual orientation and contended that moral norms were the bedrock of St. Kitts and Nevis: “Any deviation from these fundamental beliefs opens the floodgates to practices that could alter and compromise survival of the culture and personality of the Federation,” which it said was “established on the belief in Almighty God and the inherent dignity in each individual.”
The law, while rarely invoked, was amended in 2012 to increase the maximum penalty for indecent assault against men from four years to 10 years, including the possibility of hard labor.
The chairman of the Evangelical Association of St. Kitts, which represents around 30 Christian churches, had filed an affidavit supporting the law, arguing that "the moral and religious fiber of the community should influence any interpretation of the Constitution,” the ruling stated.
The court rejected those arguments, writing that “public morality is not synonymous with religious dogma or public opinion.”
“We have achieved history,” said Kenita Placide, executive director of the Eastern Caribbean Alliance for Diversity and Equality. “An affirmative decision means a yes to privacy and a yes to freedom of expression.”
The Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS tweeted its support for the ruling, calling it “great news.”
Previously, courts in Belize, Trinidad & Tobago and Antigua & Barbuda have found such laws unconstitutional. Other cases in Barbados and St. Lucia are pending. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/St-Kitts-law-criminalizing-gay-sex-found-17407317.php | 2022-08-30T16:11:26Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/St-Kitts-law-criminalizing-gay-sex-found-17407317.php | true | 13 |

Just like that, the preseason is over and we’re one step closer to the 2022 version of the Pittsburgh Steelers fully taking shape.
Of course, roster cuts are coming in the next few hours, which means some players’ dreams are dead, while other dreams are coming true. It’s a cruel, cruel business world in the NFL.
In regards to the game against the Lions though, there were some things to like offensively, others to not like. Same thing on the defensive side of the football in the 19-9 win to close the preseason at Acrisure Stadium.
Let’s dive in.
QB — B+
In the final tune-up before the regular season, Mitch Trubisky came through with his best performance of the preseason. Completing 15-of-19 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown, Trubisky looked poised throughout the afternoon and made some impressive throws throughout the first half.
His 38-yard deep ball to Diontae Johnson was perfectly placed down the sideline, as was his 32-yard back-shoulder throw to tight end Pat Freiermuth up the seam in the two-minute drill. Speaking of the two-minute drill, Trubisky was outstanding in that setting, completing six passes for 92 yards, marching the Steelers down the field for a touchdown in a little over a minute, giving the Steelers a 16-0 lead at the half.
He’ll be the starting quarterback Week 1.
Rookie Kenny Pickett came on in the second half and completed 10-of-14 passes for 90 yards and had some outstanding throws of his own, but he wasn’t able to do enough to truly challenge Trubisky for the starting job in his final opportunity. That said, he closed the preseason in style overall, completing more than 70% of his passes in the preseason without turning the football over. He’s going to be a good one.
Pickett’s back-shoulder throws to Miles Boykin and Tyler Vaughns were high-level NFL throws, and his incomplete pass to Gunner Olszewski in the red zone while on the run was an absolute dot that should have been caught.
Mason Rudolph received just five snaps in the win, going 0-for-3 on passing attempts, but he threw a terrific ball up the seam to tight end Jace Sternberger that should have been caught for a big gain. He’s clearly the No. 3 QB right now, and could be on the move via trade.
RB — C-
Najee Harris played 28 snaps in his tune-up for the regular season and really didn’t do much with any of his seven touches on the afternoon. That was more of an issue with the offensive line in general than it was from Harris’ production standpoint. The second-year standout running back carried the ball four times for 10 yards with a long of 11, telling you all you need to know about the offensive line.
As a receiver, Harris hauled in three passes for 11 yards. He held up well in pass protection, giving Trubisky time to operate throughout the first half, but the real concern is the lack of space and time with the football that Harris was afforded Sunday.
Behind Harris, UDFA Jaylen Warren again had a strong showing, even if the numbers weren’t there. He rushed seven times for 11 yards, did a great job turning the corner on one run that should have gone for a loss, and showed his chops in pass protection, especially on chips, where he bowled over a Lions’ pass rusher in the first half on a chip. He did more than enough to make the team.
Benny Snell Jr. had a quiet day too, but had one the of the best runs of the day, finishing with five carries for 17 yards, including a bruising 8-yard carry in the second half in which he bounced off of multiple defenders. Anthony McFarland Jr. didn’t get enough run to show he should stick around either, finishing with two carries for six yards and one reception for seven yards. I’d imagine the Steelers would like to get him back on the practice squad.
WR — B
The wide receiver room certainly is making it a difficult process to work through for the decision makers in Pittsburgh, thanks to some strong play top to bottom throughout the preseason.
Johnson looked really good on his 38-yard catch down the left sideline, showing that ability to stack and win vertically. Rookie George Pickens continued to flash as well, finishing with three catches for 35 yards, including a beautiful toe-tapping back-shoulder catch on the two-minute drive to set up the throw to Freiermuth. He also had some great run blocks in the game as well.
Miles Boykin appeared to do enough to hold down his roster spot, finishing with three receptions for 41 yards, including the great twisting back-shoulder catch from Pickett in the third quarter for 29 yards.
Steven Sims and Vaughns made pushes for the 53-man roster too, with Sims hauling in four passes for 23 yards and the touchdown from Trubisky, while Vaughns added two catches for 24 yards in the win. They both appear to be ideal practice squad candidates, but their play in the preseason could see them land on 53-man rosters elsewhere.
Lots to like throughout the preseason from a position that is very clearly an area of strength for the Steelers.
TE — B+
It was so great to see Freiermuth stretch the field vertically Sunday against the Lions. Hopefully that will happen more and more throughout the 2022 season, as that was an area of his game that wasn’t utilized as a rookie.
The twisting catch he made on the back-shoulder throw up the seam from Trubisky for 32 yards in the two-minute drill was a thing of beauty. Hopefully there is more of that to come, because he has great hands and can win in those situations, especially against linebackers. He was also a decent blocker on Sunday, getting out on the move at times and engaging his hands and feet to move defenders. It was a good tune-up overall for the budding star tight end.
Behind him Connor Heyward was used as a fullback and h-back throughout the game, finishing with just two catches for four yards. It was curious though that he was the fullback in front of Harris to open the game. We’ll see how that factors into the decisions for roster cutdown. Sternberger played throughout much of the second half but couldn’t come down with the pass from Rudolph up the seam in the fourth quarter. He was cut Monday.
OL – C-
I’ll say this: the offensive line took some steps forward from a pass blocking standpoint, especially James Daniels at right guard. That said, still too sloppy from this unit as a whole.
Dan Moore Jr. was called twice for holding penalties and Chukwuma Okorafor was hit with one holding penalty. Both were drive killers.
Mason Cole was solid once again and appears to be the steadiest offensive lineman for the black and gold at the moment, for whatever that’s worth. Kevin Dotson was rather average overall, especially as a run blocker. That said, he was the highest-graded Steelers’ lineman from a pass blocking standpoint against the Lions in 25 reps. Something to build on.
Behind the starters, I was once again very displeased with Kendrick Green. He was missing blocks against third stringers, was on the ground a lot and just looks completely lost at the position. His time might be up.
Trent Scott looks like the swing tackle for the Steelers. Take that for what it’s worth. OL coach Pat Meyer likes him a lot, considering he’s taken him everywhere he’s gone, and he’s gotten some key reps ahead of Joe Haeg.
All that said, this depth chart on the offensive line could look drastically different come Tuesday at 4 p.m. I expect Omar Khan and the Steelers to be active adding pieces.
DL — B-
Yes, the Lions again rushed for a bunch of yards against the Steelers, but I really liked what I saw from the Steelers defensive line in this one.
Cam Heyward got some preseason action in and looked like his typical self. He controlled the line of scrimmage, stayed assignment sound and even batted two passes at the line, looking like his mid-season form.
Larry Ogunjobi and Tyson Alualu played as well and showed some decent reps against the run, though the Lions had some success running their way throughout the first half. Once the regular season hits though, I think the veterans will turn it up a notch and will get back to their consistent levels of play they’ve shown.
Behind the starting trio, I loved what I saw from DeMarvin Leal. He won consistently as a pass rusher, defended the run well and even batted a pass at the line of scrimmage. He looks like the real deal in the trenches for the Steelers. Great find there by the coaching and scouting staff. He’s going to be a problem as at least a rotational pass rusher this season.
Carlos Davis and Khalil Davis showed flashes on Sunday in the second half. Carlos recorded two tackles and a sack, winning consistently against backups, while Khalil recorded a tackle for loss, shooting a gap and dragging the ball carrier down for a sizable loss.
LB — C+
T.J. Watt remains T.J. Watt. He was disruptive immediately against the Lions and probably shouldn’t have played anymore snaps. That’s out of my control though, so we’ll leave it at that.
Outside of Watt, I liked what I saw from Derrek Tuszka in limited reps. He finished with four tackles and a pass deflection and certainly looked the part as a serviceable rotational depth piece. Same for Delontae Scott, who was strong against the run and created some pressure as a pass rusher, finishing with a sack and two tackles for a loss in the win. He might make the 53-man roster at this point.
Hamilcar Rashed Jr. got the start against the Lions and really didn’t do much with the opportunity. That said, the Steelers really like him, so we’ll see.
Inside, Myles Jack was again really strong against the run and nearly picked off a pass. Devin Bush was better in this one too, making a huge tackle for loss on fourth down to force a turnover on downs. Still, he struggled to get off blocks and his rep on the third and 17 draw was very poor. Long way to go, but showing signs of improvements.
Robert Spillane was very average again. He’s a good spot dropper in coverage and can handle tight ends in limited reps in coverage. He’s just not moving the needle at the position.
Mark Robinson was really strong once again and appears to have locked up a 53-man spot. He’s really good at reading and reacting right now, slipping under blocks, shedding blockers and is a sound tackler. Buddy Johnson looked better than he has on Sunday too, though he drew a pass interference penalty in the fourth quarter in coverage, an area he continues to struggle in.
DB — A-
I really, really liked what I saw from this group on Sunday, especially guys like Cameron Sutton, Tre Norwood, Elijah Riley and Carlins Platel.
Sutton picked off Lions quarterback Tim Boyle, Norwood was constantly around the football, Riley looked exceptional in his first action with the Steelers and Platel was playing some really good football until suffering what appears to be a season-ending injury.
Riley finished with four tackles and a pass breakup and might be the third safety on the roster at this point due to the injury to Damontae Kazee. Time will tell. Platel added three tackles and a pass breakup before being injured late.
Norwood was everywhere, recording five tackles in the win. So too was Minkah Fitzpatrick in the first half, finishing with four tackles and a sack for the Steelers, who have blitzed Fitzpatrick often this season. That’ll be something to monitor moving forward.
Ahkello Witherspoon and Levi Wallace looked strong coming downhill as tacklers, quieting some concerns about Witherspoon as a physical defender at least.
Special Teams — B-
Chris Boswell got plenty of work in Sunday, hitting 4-of-5 field goals in the win, including a long of 54 yards at Acrisure Stadium. He’s in mid-season form, though the blocking unit, especially Kendrick Green, wasn’t on the blocked field goal in the third quarter.
Punter Pressley Harvin III looked solid again, finishing with an average of 47.5 yards per punt on four attempts, downing two inside the 20 yard line with a long of 56 on the afternoon. He seems to be finding that consistency that eluded him as a rookie.
Coverage was mostly solid overall too, especially from Tuszka, who had a great open-field tackle on the Steelers’ first punt of the game.
McFarland had a nice kick return of 23 yards, making a defender miss in the process, but again, too little too late for the third-year running back. | https://steelersdepot.com/2022/08/positional-grades-steelers-vs-lions-3/ | 2022-08-30T16:14:01Z | https://steelersdepot.com/2022/08/positional-grades-steelers-vs-lions-3/ | false | 1 |
Hunger Action Month® Campaign Aims to Inspire the Public to Join the Fight to End Hunger and Raise Awareness of Hunger in America
CHICAGO, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunger Action Month® this September marks the 15th year that the Feeding America nationwide network of food banks will come together to raise awareness and inspire the public to take action on behalf of people facing the impossible choice of hunger. Right now, millions of Americans are making tough budgeting decisions while facing grocery prices that have risen more than 13% in the last twelve months, the largest increase since 1979. That's why this year's campaign focuses on the impossible choice that many in the U.S. are often forced to make between costly food and other basic needs.
"Many people may not give a daily meal much thought. For people facing hunger, a daily meal is not as simple," said Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America. "Instead, it becomes a different type of choice - an impossible decision between food or other crucial needs, such as electricity, childcare or medicine. Nobody should be forced to make a choice to go hungry. With the public's support, we can come together to help increase food access for all people, so they no longer have to make such tough decisions."
Feeding America network food banks are also not immune to the inflationary pressures impacting the U.S., and they need support. A recent Feeding America survey found that 90% of network food banks reported either an increase or steady demand for emergency food services in June, about a 15% increase over the prior month. The vast majority are also reporting that food purchase costs are higher and that food donations are down over the last four months.
To support food banks serving neighbors in need, people across the country can get involved during Hunger Action Month by learning, committing and speaking up about ways to end hunger.
Learn:
- Read and watch stories of people facing hunger.
- Learn about the impact hunger has on communities.
Commit:
- Donate to a local food bank or Feeding America.
- Visit and volunteer at a local food bank.
- Wear orange throughout the month of September, or on Hunger Action Day on Friday, Sept. 23, to spread awareness and show commitment toward ending hunger.
Speak Up:
- Write to local elected officials and urge them to fight hunger in their community.
- Join the conversation by posting photos or stories to social media with #HungerActionMonth and @FeedingAmerica.
Hunger Action Month is a time for everyone across the country to collectively act against hunger. You can choose to donate or advocate. You can choose to volunteer or raise awareness. You can choose to help end hunger. Learn more about how you can take action by visiting HungerActionMonth.org.

Self-harm hashtags up 500 percent on Twitter: research
The prevalence of Twitter hashtags related to self-harm has increased about 500 percent in the past year, despite many of those posts violating the platform’s policy on the subject, according to a new report.
The report from the Network Contagion Research Institute, an independent research organization that studies misinformation and hate on social media platforms, and Rutgers University states that users have made tens of thousands of posts per month related to self-harm since October. Many of the posters appeared to be adolescents and young adults, according to the report.
The report states that 5Rights, a United Kingdom-based children’s digital rights charity, alerted Twitter to the hashtag #shtwt, which stands for “self-harm Twitter,” in October. 5Rights said the platform’s algorithms were promoting profiles that use this hashtag to other users who were searching “self-harm” instead of connecting them with resources to help.
Twitter said it blocked tweets using the hashtag and other related ones in response, but posts related to self-harm have grown exponentially since the company was notified about the matter in October, the report states. As a part of that overall rise, the institute found the number of posts with hashtags related to #shtwt have also specifically been increasing.
Twitter policy bans users from promoting or encouraging suicide or self-harm, including but not limited to by asking other people for encouragement to commit self-harm or suicide or by sharing information, strategies or instructions for doing so.
A Twitter spokesperson told The Hill that self-harm is an “extremely complex and sensitive” issue that the company takes very seriously. They said Twitter works with a group of independent experts to determine its approach to the issue.
The spokesperson said Twitter is continuing to review its policies with experts and based on research like the report so it is able to find a balance between allowing people who are struggling to have a voice and taking down content that exploits those struggles.
“The safety of the people who use our service is our priority and we are committed to building a safer Internet and improving the health of the public conversation,” the spokesperson said.
Twitter said the company has other tools it uses like not allowing known associated terms to appear in the top of search. The company said it partners with third-party organizations to direct people who are searching for information on self-harm to resources using #ThereIsHelp prompts.
These prompts are available in more than two dozen countries, including the United States.
The report states that posts with the hashtag #shtwt are usually accompanied by images of severe and potentially life-threatening self-inflicted wounds. The posts are “praised, celebrated, and encouraged” by some users, it said.
The institute also found rapidly growing Twitter communities that glorify eating disorders and mass shootings, saying these signal that its discoveries on self-harm and suicide appear to be the “tip of the iceberg.”
Researchers additionally found evidence that predators who claim to be minors have engaged with these online communities to further encourage self-harm, according to the report. | https://thehill.com/policy/technology/3620870-self-harm-hashtags-up-500-percent-on-twitter-research/ | 2022-08-30T16:16:12Z | https://thehill.com/policy/technology/3620870-self-harm-hashtags-up-500-percent-on-twitter-research/ | true | 1 |

The Browns are moving on from one of their backup quarterback candidates.
Cleveland is cutting Josh Rosen, according to multiple reports.
Rosen, the 10th overall pick of the 2018 draft, joined the Browns in July as the team’s fourth quarterback behind Deshaun Watson, Jacoby Brissett, and Josh Dobbs.
Watson’s suspension begins on Tuesday. Brissett is set to start Cleveland’s first 11 games of the season. With Rosen off the roster, Dobbs is now slated to be the club’s backup after a strong preseason.
Rosen could come back on the practice squad as the Browns’ third quarterback. But the team could also look elsewhere for another signal-caller.
Since the Cardinals drafted him in 2018, Rosen has also spent time with the Dolphins, Buccaneers, 49ers, and Falcons.
He’s appeared in 24 games with 16 starts, completing 54 percent of his passes for 2,864 yards with 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/08/30/browns-cutting-josh-rosen/ | 2022-08-30T16:20:17Z | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/08/30/browns-cutting-josh-rosen/ | true | 1 |
Burnley sign ‘exciting young talent’ Anass Zaroury
Burnley have signed Belgium Under-21 international Anass Zaroury from Charleroi on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
The 21-year-old is Vincent Kompany’s 14th signing of the summer, and the winger is “excited” to move to England.
Zaroury told the Clarets’ website: “It’s the first time I have moved to another country to play football. The project here is clear and I can’t wait to get started here now.”
Kompany added: “Anass is an exciting young talent. He’s a player that can run and work hard for the team, whilst carrying great skill and goal threat.”

Kotakpura police firing: SAD chief Sukhbir Badal skips appearance before SIT
- Country:
- India
SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday did not appear before the Punjab Police's Special Investigation Team (SIT) in the 2015 Kotkapura police firing incident with the party claiming that he had not been served summons in the case.
However, official sources said the SIT had recently served the summons through a police official and a courier twice to Badal but they were was not received as it was told that he was out of the country.
The summons was also sent through the WhatsApp number of an aide of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief, they said.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that the SIT has summoned Badal again on September 14 to appear before it in the case.
The SAD chief said in Ferozepur on Tuesday he did not get any message about the summons earlier.
He said he was contacted by the SIT on Monday night and he told them that he should be given a next date for appearance as he had to appear in a court in Zira in Ferozepur in some other case on Tuesday.
Replying to a question, Badal rubbished the AAP charge that he was evading questioning.
Aam Aadmi Party chief spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang asked Badal why he is evading inquiry and not appearing before the SIT in the Kotakpura firing incident ''if he is honest and has nothing to conceal in this case''.
The SIT, probing the 2015 Kotkapura police firing case, had summoned the SAD chief to appear before it on August 30 for questioning in the incident.
Badal, who was the deputy chief minister and also held home affairs portfolio when the incident took place in 2015, was asked by the SIT to appear at Punjab Police Officers' Institute here with relevant records.
Earlier in the day, the SAD said Badal had not been served summons by the SIT, but he was ready to cooperate in the investigation.
The SAD chief asked the SIT to clarify whether the summons for his appearance before the probe team being circulated in the media was issued by it.
SAD leader and spokesperson Arshdeep Singh Kler on Tuesday said Badal had not been served summons ''personally''.
Kler claimed that Badal was to appear in a court in Zira in Ferozepur in some other case on Tuesday.
''The summons is circulated on electronic and social media that Badal has been summoned in the Kotkapura firing case. However, the summons has not been served to Badal personally,'' the SAD spokesperson said.
Kler said the SAD chief had written to the SIT to clarify whether the summons has been issued by it.
''If it (summons) has been issued by the SIT, then it should give us a next date and we are ready to cooperate in the probe,'' Kler said, adding the SAD chief has gone to Zira to appear in the court there.
The SIT had earlier questioned former director general of police Sumedh Singh Saini in the case here.
SIT head Additional Director General of Police L K Yadav had summoned the former state police chief for appearance before the probe team.
Saini has been named as an accused in the 2015 Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan police firing incidents in Faridkot.
Last month, the Punjab and Haryana High Court had dismissed a bunch of petitions filed by Saini and other accused police officers against the Punjab Police's probe into the 2015 Behbal Kalan firing case.
Saini and others had demanded quashing of the FIR and chargesheet filed by the SIT and transfer of the case to the CBI.
The incidents related to the theft of a 'bir' (copy) of the Guru Ganth Sahib, putting up handwritten sacrilegious posters and torn pages of the holy book found scattered at Bargari had taken place in Faridkot in 2015.
These incidents had triggered protests in Faridkot. Two persons were killed in Behbal Kalan while some people were injured at Kotkapura in Faridkot after police fired at protesters in October 2015.

The jury in the trial of Ryan Giggs has been told to deliver a majority verdict after failing to reach a unanimous decision.
Giggs is facing allegations he was a violent boyfriend who subjected his partner to years of psychological and, at times, physical abuse.
The jury of seven women and four men were called back into Manchester Crown Court by judge Hilary Manley on day 16 of what had been scheduled to be a 10-day trial.
They had failed to reach a verdict on Friday — with a significant delay occurring when a juror fell ill and was subsequently discharged — before returning on Tuesday following the bank holiday.
Judge Manley told the jury on Tuesday afternoon she would now accept a 10-1 verdict, but 18-and-a-half hours of deliberations failed to bring a conclusion and the trial will now continue into a 17th day on Wednesday.
Giggs, the most decorated player in Manchester United’s history, is charged with headbutting Kate Greville when she tried to break off their relationship on November 1, 2020.
Giggs faces another charge of controlling and coercive behaviour towards Greville during a three-year period before the night of the alleged violence and a separate offence of assaulting her younger sister, Emma.
The judge had instructed the jurors not to let any sympathetic thoughts to influence their verdict after seeing Giggs and Greville break down in tears in the witness box.
Giggs, a 13-time Premier League champion, stepped down as Wales manager in June, having not been directly involved with the team since being arrested for the alleged headbutt at his house in Worsley, Greater Manchester.
He denies all the charges and Sir Alex Ferguson, his former manager, was among the character witnesses to give evidence.

There is a common misconception when a loved one passes away that the deceased's next of kin is responsible for overseeing the distribution of the estate and arranging the funeral. However, this may not always be the case. If the deceased has a valid Will, it will be the nominated Executor(s) who will take on these responsibilities.
In this article featured on YourLoss, we discuss who is responsible for these tasks when a loved one passes, including what happens if there is no Will.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances. | https://www.mondaq.com:443/australia/wills-intestacy-estate-planning/1225398/next-of-kin-and-their-responsibilities-when-a-loved-one-dies | 2022-08-30T16:29:07Z | https://www.mondaq.com:443/australia/wills-intestacy-estate-planning/1225398/next-of-kin-and-their-responsibilities-when-a-loved-one-dies | false | null |
