Spain chides French reluctance on gas pipeline, Paris asks for plan
By Isla Binnie
MADRID, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Spain's energy minister on Tuesday criticised France's reluctance to support a project to build a third gas connection through the Pyrenees to reduce Europe's reliance on Russian gas, while France said it would consider European proposals.
Russia's decision to halt gas supplies via a major pipeline for three days from Wednesday has heaped even more pressure on Europe to refuel ahead of winter and guard against any further fallout from the conflict in Ukraine.
Spain and Portugal have large gas import capacity, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz suggested as the crisis worsened that a pipeline from Portugal through Spain and France to central Europe could help the situation. France has demurred, favouring new LNG terminals instead.
Spanish Energy and Environment Minister Teresa Ribera was asked on local radio about reviving construction of a pipeline through the Pyrenees that was partially built before being shelved in 2019.
"We need to prepare for next winter and in this context (be) able to complete an interconnection that didn't make economic sense (in 2019)... (but) could be key now to bring this supply that central and northern Europe lacks," Ribera said.
"The question is... is this in France's interest or in the interest of central and northern Europe?"
Scholz met Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Meseberg on Tuesday and both called for a new pipeline from Iberia to improve supplies, but avoided criticising France.
Ribera and Sanchez have said repeatedly that the European Union would have to pay for any new energy interconnections.
France said earlier this month that new floating LNG terminals in northern and eastern Europe, particularly Germany, would be a quicker and cheaper option than a new pipeline, which would not be ready in time to respond to the current crisis.
But French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Tuesday Paris had not ruled out the pipeline option. "Spain and Germany are two partners very close to France. So when they make a proposal, we will consider it," he told reporters.
Ribera said the transit route into France could be finished in time for winter 2023, while another potential pipeline route, undersea from the eastern Spanish port of Barcelona to Livorno in Italy, would take much longer.

HAMPTON, Va. — A trial date for Cory Bigsby, a Hampton man accused of felony child neglect, is set for three days in November.
During a Tuesday morning hearing, the Hampton Circuit Court scheduled the trial for Nov. 7, 9 and 10. Bigsby's legal team also withdrew Bigsby's request to be granted bond, after he was denied five times.
The trial will be preceded by a motion to suppress evidence hearing on Sept. 20, where the team plans to ask to throw out all of Bigsby's statements made to the Hampton Police Division.
Hampton Commonwealth's Attorney Anton Bell said that prosecutors don't plan to use any of the statements Bigsby made before getting a lawyer.
Bigsby first reported his son, Codi, missing on Jan. 31. Since then, police and volunteer organizations have been looking for the 4-year-old, but they haven't been able to find him.
When police officers took him to the station that day, he allegedly told them he left his young children at home alone, sometimes. That's what his initial charges stem from.
Since the beginning of the case, Hampton Police Chief Mark Talbot said investigators don't think Codi wandered off, and they don't think he was abducted.
Bigsby was arrested on Feb. 3 after reporting his son missing and spending several days at the police division's headquarters.
He originally faced seven charges of child neglect that were unrelated to the disappearance Codi, but in July, a grand jury found enough evidence for over 30 charges, including child neglect and endangerment.
On Feb. 14, the Hampton Police Division said an internal audit found that Bigsby's request for a lawyer wasn't honored while police were questioning him.
Prior to the audit, Chief Talbot said Bigsby waived his right to legal counsel while at police headquarters answering questions. The review came after Bigsby's previous lawyer, Jeffery Ambrose, said Bigsby hadn't been allowed access to a lawyer.
Talbot said Bigsby took a polygraph test with a federal agency before his arrest, and a heated exchange followed involving the lead detective on the case.
During the Feb. 1 exchange, Bigsby mentioned legal counsel twice but wasn't given a lawyer until his family hired one, days later.
According to Talbot, Bigsby should have been provided a lawyer once that mention of counsel first happened. | https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/crime/cory-bigsby-november-trial-date-scheduled-hampton/291-e158772e-1eb9-4a98-951b-ab5eb63819de | 2022-08-30T16:38:40Z | https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/crime/cory-bigsby-november-trial-date-scheduled-hampton/291-e158772e-1eb9-4a98-951b-ab5eb63819de | false | 1 |

We may not yet know how COVID-19 will affect the NBA and Boston Celtics in the looming 2022-23 season, but we do know more about how the league plans to mitigate it in the coming campaign. A recent tweet from The Athletic NBA Insider Shams Charania reports that the league has a plan in place to prevent games from needing to be rescheduled or canceled entirely due to outbreaks via a multi-pronged strategy.
That approach will include once-weekly “surveillance” testing for players who are still unvaccinated, tests for vaccinated players when they are symptomatic, and immediate isolation of the player upon return of a positive COVID test result.
Facemasks will not be required for the 2022-23 season’s COVID protocols, per Charania.

At present, it is unclear whether the league has a contingency plan should outbreaks begin and/or ambient cases rise to a degree that might warrant a change to those protocols.

Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion live stream: How to watch the Premier League from anywhere in the world
By Greg Lea published
Watch a Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion live stream as the Seagulls seek another win
Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion live stream, Tuesday 30 August, 7.30pm
Brighton will be looking to build on their victory over Leeds on Saturday when they travel to Fulham.
Graham Potter's side have made an impressive start to the season, amassing 10 points from a possible 12 to sit level on points with Tottenham (opens in new tab) and Manchester City (opens in new tab), and ahead of the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United (opens in new tab) and Chelsea (opens in new tab). Brighton began the campaign with a 2-1 victory over United at Old Trafford and they have not looked back from there.
The Seagulls have at times struggled for consistency under Potter, with long unbeaten runs often giving way to sustained stretches without a victory. But the way Brighton have started the season suggests they could be genuine challengers for the European places in 2022/23. Potter's star continues to rise.
Fulham (opens in new tab) suffered their first defeat of the season last time out, but there were still positives for Marco Silva to take from his side's performance at the Emirates Stadium. Aleksandar Mitrovic gave the visitors the lead, but Arsenal fought back to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win.
The early signs suggest Fulham will be more competitive at this level than they were in their last two spells in the Premier League. Tuesday's meeting with Brighton will be tough, but Fulham will back themselves to cause their opponents problems in front of their own fans.
Jakub Moder is still out with a knee problem and will not make his first appearance of the season here. Brighton will also have to make do without Adam Lallana, but Joel Veltman could feature if he passes a late fitness test. Jeremy Sarmiento is a major doubt.
Harry Wilson and Manor Solomon will play no part for Fulham, who have never lost to their upcoming opponents in the Premier League. Meanwhile, on-loan central defender Shane Duffy is ineligible to face his parent club.
Kick-off is at 7.30pm BST on Tuesday 30 August and is being shown on BT Sport 4 (opens in new tab). See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee

NordVPN with quality mobile and desktop apps

Surfshark offers a great VPN at a fraction of the price
It's clear to see why Surfshark is top of TechRadar's best cheap VPN table – it combines an excellent product with bargain pricing, starting at £2/$2.50 a month!

A woman arrested for mowing down a man sitting on his walker on a Queens sidewalk while trying to run over a rival was taken away in an ambulance Tuesday after she started screaming incoherently at cops.
Kiani Phoenix is expected to be given a psychiatric evaluation after she wigged out as her arrest was being processed inside the 101st Precinct stationhouse in Far Rockaway.
Phoenix, 26, wearing an Aaliyah T-shirt, was supposed to be taken to Queens Criminal Court to be arraigned but that will likely be delayed while she’s hospitalized.
Phoenix’s illegible rant was so loud it could be heard outside the stationhouse before she was brought outside. But when she saw news reporters and photographer gathered on the sidewalk she clammed up, trying to cover her face with a sweatshirt as she quietly stepped into the ambulance.
She’s accused of fatally striking Milton Storch, 59, on Saturday while trying to kill a woman she’d just exchanged blows with.
Storch was just a couple blocks from his home sitting outside a deli he frequented on Beach 20th St. near New Haven Ave. in Far Rockaway when Phoenix got into an argument with her 27-year-old rival about 7:15 a.m., police said.
Phoenix got into her car, jumped the sidewalk and aimed to hit the woman with her car but instead hit Storch, according to cops.
Heartbreaking surveillance video shows bystanders scatter but Storch could not move quickly enough.
After Phoenix allegedly struck Storch she reversed into a 37-year-old man walking behind her car, police said.
Medics rushed both men to St. John’s Hospital, where Storch died. The younger man had minor back injuries, cops said.
Phoenix was arrested Monday for murder, attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon. | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-suspect-hospitalized-ambulance-arrest-sidewalk-hit-run-rockaway-walker-20220830-6guqlopkcfdfdbblsaiwecopey-story.html | 2022-08-30T16:53:18Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-suspect-hospitalized-ambulance-arrest-sidewalk-hit-run-rockaway-walker-20220830-6guqlopkcfdfdbblsaiwecopey-story.html | false | 2 |
According to Tom Pelissero, the Chiefs are releasing WR Josh Gordon on Tuesday as part of final cutdowns.
Gordon, 30, is a former second-round supplemental pick of the Browns back in 2012. Suspensions forced Gordon to sit out the 2015 and 2016 seasons but he was reinstated in November of 2017 and finished out the seasons with the Browns.
The Browns re-signed Gordon to a one-year exclusive rights contract worth $790,000 but he was traded to the Patriots for a fifth-round pick. New England re-signed Gordon to a one-year, restricted deal in 2019.
Gordon was waived from injured reserve and later claimed by the Seahawks. He returned to Seattle on a one-year contract but was cut loose in March of 2021.
The Chiefs signed him to a contract in October before waiving him and re-signing him to the practice squad. He returned on a futures deal for 2022.
In 2021, Gordon appeared in four games for the Chiefs and caught four passes for 27 yards receiving and one touchdown.

The market brought back some of summer gains After recent statements by Federal Reserve officials made it clear that the central bank aims to continue raising interest rates, even if it causes economic pain.
“Investors are accepting that the Federal Reserve is serious about curbing inflation, even as recent data suggests that inflation is beginning to decline,” said Rod von Lipsey, managing director at UBS Private Wealth Management.

Rays of Hope in the Climate Struggle
Occasionally, a pleasant political surprise encourages policymakers and activists to press on in the fight against global warming. The recent passage of the US Inflation Reduction Act, which will accelerate America’s clean-energy transition, is a case in point.
SAN JOSÉ/BERKELEY – We have grown accustomed to grim climate news. Despite scientists’ warnings and communities’ protests, catastrophic floods, record-breaking heatwaves, devastating wildfires, and famine-inducing droughts are becoming increasingly frequent.
But, occasionally, a pleasant political surprise encourages policymakers and activists to press on in the fight against global warming. The recent passage of the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which will accelerate America’s clean-energy transition, is a case in point.
We have experienced similar uplifting moments before. In the months leading up to the adoption of the 2015 Paris climate agreement, the United States and China announced a joint plan to slash emissions that helped pave the geopolitical path to that historic deal. In 2014, hundreds of thousands of Americans participated in the People’s Climate March in New York City, confounding all turnout estimates and prompting then-United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to speak out and emphasize how important protests are.
Like the IRA, these victories seemed to come out of the blue. But social movements help to bring about such progress, and can grow stronger when the political winds shift in their favor.
Moreover, the new US law could not be better timed, because the pace picks up for the climate movement at this time of year. A few weeks from now, heads of state will gather in New York for the UN General Assembly, which will be followed by a mayoral summit in Buenos Aires, the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, and the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
Climate negotiators are used to entering such gatherings determined to declare progress at any cost and use sheer force of will to keep the focus on climate justice. In recent years, youth activists have called our bluff: One cannot say that efforts to tackle the climate emergency are sufficient when politicians do little more than talk.

But the IRA’s passage means that – at this late hour in the fight against global warming – we can prepare for forthcoming meetings with something new and tangible in hand. The US is the largest historical emitter of planet-warming gases and in recent years has been one of the main laggards in international fora aimed at addressing the problem. But the IRA keeps the Americans in the game in the run-up to this year’s international climate talks.
The new law not only puts the US on course to reduce its own pollution sharply, but also will likely drive down the prices of renewable energy. That will make it easier for many emerging economies and low-income countries to adopt renewables rather than build more coal-fired power plants.
Notwithstanding political obstacles to progress, there are signs around the world that things are moving in the right direction. The European Union wants the share of renewables in its energy mix to reach at least 40% by 2030. India’ transport sector, which accounts for 14% of the country’s overall emissions, has leapfrogged ahead by joining the First Movers Coalition, which aims to decarbonize heavy industry and long-distance transport sectors responsible for 30% of global emissions. Colombia’s recently elected government has laid out a hugely ambitious climate and environmental justice agenda that promises to end the country’s destructive model of resource extraction.
Significantly, China’s solar industrial boom has enabled the price of renewable energy to fall to new lows. In Brazil, wind and solar energy generation increased in 2021 and now account for over 13% of the country’s energy mix, exceeding the OECD’s clean-energy indicator for that year.
Political breakthroughs on climate issues can happen overnight, unforeseen. For years, the fossil-fuel industry has been determined to convince us that we can’t live without coal, oil, and natural gas. But the spike in energy prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has shown that we simply cannot continue to feed our addiction.
While fossil-fuel companies reap unprecedented windfall profits, soaring energy prices are causing misery for the world’s most vulnerable people and have driven millions more into poverty for the first time. Even in developed countries, lower-income families may have to choose between food and heat this winter.
Just as the IRA seeks to protect the US population from volatile fossil-fuel prices and their knock-on effects, every other government must fulfill its responsibility to safeguard its citizens. If they do, historians will regard this moment as the time when the US unleashed a massive anti-poverty program and people everywhere forever connected climate policy with their well-being.
We are still far from where we need to be in addressing climate change, but we are a big step further along from where we were at the beginning of 2022. The IRA is not perfect – a glaring flaw is the absence of funding to help poorer countries adapt to climate change – but it demonstrates that enormous domestic obstacles can be overcome. COP27 is around the corner, and leaders must come to the table with a sense of responsibility and tangible evidence of their commitment to act. | https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/us-inflation-reduction-act-boosts-global-climate-movement-by-christiana-figueres-and-may-boeve-2022-08 | 2022-08-30T17:17:11Z | https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/us-inflation-reduction-act-boosts-global-climate-movement-by-christiana-figueres-and-may-boeve-2022-08 | true | 1 |
Pistons, Micah Potter Agree To Exhibit 10 Deal
The Pistons are signing free agent center Micah Potter to an Exhibit 10 contract, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Potter, 24, initially signed an Exhibit 10 contract with Miami last fall after going undrafted out of Wisconsin. He was waived before the regular season began and spent most of his rookie year with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, the Heat’s G League affiliate, averaging 17.2 PPG and 9.8 RPG on .539/.445/.731 shooting in 33 NBAGL games (28.8 MPG).
In addition to earning him a spot on the All-NBAGL Rookie Team, Potter’s strong performance at the G League level earned him a brief look at the NBA level. The Pistons signed him to a 10-day contract in December and he appeared in three regular season contests, scoring 12 points and grabbing nine rebounds in 31 total minutes.
Potter also suited up in five games for the Knicks’ Summer League team in Las Vegas last month.
Potter’s Exhibit 10 contract means he’ll be eligible for a bonus worth up to $50K if he’s waived this fall and then spends at least 60 days with the Motor City Cruise, Detroit’s G League team. The Cruise acquired Potter’s returning NBAGL rights from the Skyforce on Thursday, according to a press release. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2721067225604/pistons-micah-potter-agree-to-exhibit-10-deal | 2022-08-30T17:18:42Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2721067225604/pistons-micah-potter-agree-to-exhibit-10-deal | true | 1 |
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lone Star Beer has partnered up with Duck Camp to kick off hunting season with limited edition packaging in Duck Camp camo, a capsule merch collection and a tailgate event series at select Duck Camp retail locations.
Inspired by the nostalgia of the post hunt hangs, the brands leaned into an 80's themed "time capsule" campaign: Lone Star Beer in Duck Camp Camo - So Doves Don't Try To Drink Your Beer While You're Hunting Them. The campaign, in partnership with creative agency Easy Pete's, follows an unsuspecting dove hunter, Braxton, and his friends as they frolic through the brush with their Duck Camp camo laced Lone Star packaging.
"As two brands rooted in camaraderie, we really wanted to lean into the nostalgia that the return of the season brings - memories of post-hunt hangs with friends and family," said Duck Camp Vice President of Marketing Grant Watson.
The co-branded merch collection includes 80's Texas Outdoors inspired hats, t-shirts and custom beer koozies so the Lone Star is cold and accessible after the hunt. The limited merchandise is available starting Thursday, September 1 at DuckCamp.com and LoneStarBeer.com. To sign-up for alerts about merchandise availability, click HERE.
Merchandise will also be available at "Popperville" events, a tailgating event series taking place at Duck Camp's retail locations in Austin and Houston on Saturday, September 3. The Austin event starts at 3:00 p.m. and will feature live music from Jonathan Terrell supported by Raccoon Brothers and The Shinglers, with free BBQ provided by Robert Alvarado. The Houston event starts at 2:00 p.m. and will feature live music from Chris Seymore and Friends and complimentary bites and tapas from Patrick Feges.
"Being the National Beer of Texas, we love working with brands that fit our consumer's lifestyle, that are rooted locally, and share our love for the land of Texas," said Lone Star Beer Brand Director Daniel Crawford. "After an exciting year of using their Midland Camo on our packaging during hunting season, we wanted to go bigger this year with a campaign rooted in the lore of 80's Texas Outdoors."
The Lone Star x Duck Camp camo 12-packs can be found in stores all over Texas where beer is sold until they sell out.

adidas has unveiled its federation kits for the 2022 World Cup, revealing the away kits for Argentina and Mexico alongside both home and away designs for Germany, Japan and Spain. All of the kits mix two very different requirements, meeting the needs of the players wearing them and the fans at home.
“Every time we create a football jersey, we have two main priorities,” Mateo Kossmann, a senior product manager at adidas Global Football tells GOAL. “First is to celebrate the culture of a nation by creating a shared identity that allows players and fans to connect and unite under one idea. The second is to provide the best for the athlete and the player to perform, not only from a performance perspective but also doing it in a sustainable way.”
All of the now unveiled kits are inspired by the countries that will be wearing them, whether that’s through cultural references or nods to their footballing history. This includes graphics taken from national crests or flags, as well as patterns that highlight the country’s history – both on and off the field.
Speaking about the kits, Kossmann draws attention to the Japanese home kit, which has been given an all-over pattern. “The inspiration for the graphic on the kit is a three-legged origami crow, such as the crow in the crest of the federation,” he explains. “If you create 1000 origamis, you get a wish granted. The wish we have for Japan in this World Cup is to go further than ever before.” adidas hopes that the repetition of the crow, which makes up a pattern on the front and sleeves, is enough to get this wish granted.
Other references that run throughout adidas’ 2022 World Cup lineup include a graphic based on the Sol de Mayo from Argentina’s flag, an undulating pattern taken from Spain’s 1982 logo – the last time it hosted the World Cup – and an all-over pattern on the Mexico away shirt, which is inspired by the art of its ancient civilizations.
For the German home kit, adidas have looked into the country’s footballing history to create a new design. The stand-out feature of the shirt is its large central stripe, which hosts a gold crest and adidas logo. “The vertical bar on the front is a very familiar element for the German federation because it was used on the very first German national kit in 1908,” explains Lisa Datz, an adidas Global Football senior product manager who worked on the design of the new Germany kit. “We’ve used that element already on some kits, including the away kits in 2008 and 2016. Here we just bought it even further to really capture the DNA and to bring the nation together.”
As well as attempting to capture the spirit of each nation, adidas also ensured that their 2022 World Cup kits are also packed with their latest technologies to help players perform. This includes the use of lightweight heat-applied details and adidas’ HEAT.RDY technology across the kits for all five federations. “The technology used means perfect moisture management and breathability,” Datz continues. “We want to make sure that our athletes can perform in the best way, using the best technology we have within adidas to make players feel comfortable and to keep them cool.”
The commitment to performance capabilities is matched by adidas’ commitment to sustainability, something that the brand announced was a priority for the 2022 World Cup. All of the kits are produced using 100% recycled polyester, while adidas has also upgraded its HEAT.RDY technology in line with its environmental focus. “For the first time now the HEAT.RDY fabric is made using Parley Ocean Plastic, plastic that has been diverted from coastal towns and regions and prevented from going into the ocean,” says Andrew Dolan, senior product manager for apparel in adidas’ Global Football team. “So not only are these the best performing jerseys we’ve ever had, but the most sustainable as well.” | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/adidas-2022-world-cup-kits-celebrate-national-identity/blt80575e3f73f401cf | 2022-08-30T17:24:10Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/adidas-2022-world-cup-kits-celebrate-national-identity/blt80575e3f73f401cf | true | 14 |
Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. Rwanda’s stunning scenery and warm, friendly people offer unique experiences. It is among the 48 visa-free countries Nigerians can travel to. It is blessed with extraordinary biodiversity, with incredible wildlife living throughout its volcanoes, montane rainforests, and sweeping plains.
Travelers come from far and wide to catch a glimpse of the magnificent gorillas, yet there is so much more to see and experience. Here are some facts about Rwanda.com
1. THE PEOPLE OF RWANDA
According to Britannica.com, the people of the Republic of Rwanda speak the Bantu language known as Rwanda (also known as Kinyarwanda). The Rwandan people…

Jason Momoa is one of those actors who seems to spend too much time on screen shirtless, even when he’s not playing Aquaman. However, the actor doesn’t have his current torn muscles, which people often see. He may be a little less pumped up, but it turns out that he likes his “father’s body”, and he is in no hurry to get rid of it.
The soon-to-be Fast X villain recently appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and the host mentioned that Momoa recently underwent hernia surgery. The actor reported that he is in pretty good physical shape after the surgery, but he still doesn’t worry when it comes to exercise so as not to injure himself. Besides, he just doesn’t want to play sports. Momoa said…
Everything is fine, I still don’t really do squats. I’m trying to keep my father’s body a little longer, you know what I mean? Well, I don’t want to do squats anymore, so.
In fact, it’s nice to hear how Jason Momoa doesn’t praise constant training. Almost everyone who makes superhero movies or participates in any major franchise has become necessary to put themselves in ridiculous shape. And while many actors like Mark Wahlberg eventually fell in love with the workout lifestyle once they became a part of it, Momoa is apparently just not that guy.
He will obviously do the work when he needs it, but he is honest about not liking it. Most likely, he won’t run shirtless much in Fast X because of his “fatherly body”, although it can be assumed that he could still remain quite active despite recovering from surgery.
James Corden does not agree with the description of the “father’s body”, because, let’s face it, although Jason Momoa may not have a perfect abs right now, he still looks pretty impressive. However, Kristen Bell, who appeared with Momoa on The Late Late Show and admitted that she is a big fan of “Game of Thrones” and a fan of Jason Momoa, came to his defense, saying…
He can say whatever he wants.
Jason Momoa will certainly return to his usual action hero physique soon, but he clearly likes not to worry about working out a lot, so he’s in no hurry to get back to the gym. We’ve recently seen Jason Momoa take on a more diverse portfolio of work. We thought he was just expanding his acting horizons, but maybe he’s also looking for roles that won’t require him to resemble Aquaman on screen.
Those of us out of shape welcome you, Jason Momoa. There is no need to constantly look like a walking brick wall. | https://www.somagnews.com/jason-momoa-on-why-he-continues-to-act-as-his-father-a-little-longer-after-filming-the-movie-fast-and-furious-x/ | 2022-08-30T17:26:46Z | https://www.somagnews.com/jason-momoa-on-why-he-continues-to-act-as-his-father-a-little-longer-after-filming-the-movie-fast-and-furious-x/ | true | 1 |
Although we’ve only seen two seasons of “Mandalorian,” the 16 episodes that aired on Disney+ had a huge number of cameos and special appearances—with actors like John Leguizamo, Michael Bean, Titus Welliver, Paul Soon-hyun Lee and Mark. Hamill suddenly appears. This is a tradition that we hope will continue in the third season of the beloved Star Wars series… but there is one particular person that Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni are trying to present in front of the camera, and this is the creator of the entire series. Franchise: George Lucas.
Entertainment Weekly published a video of interviews with Mandalorian writers/producers, and the duo were asked about episodes they would like to see in the future of the great Disney+ show. The filmmakers stopped, remembering all the great people who had already been in the series, including Amy Sedaris and Werner Herzog, but in the end Jon Favreau found the right answer:
George Lucas. That would be the best cameo.
The answer drew laughter from Dave Filoni, who then subtly reminded the creator of The Mandalorian that technically George Lucas had already played a character in the Star Wars universe. The writer/director has a cameo role in the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith (the last film he directed), and his role has been identified as Baron Papanoid.
Listening to Favreau’s answer, Filoni suggested that George Lucas might have been a relative of Baron Papanoides, referring to the fact that the events described in “Mandalorian” take place about 30 years after the events in “Revenge of the Sith”. Said Filoni,
He must be the son of Baron Papanoida or something like that. I don’t know. I wouldn’t even speculate on it. It’s hard for me to imagine what this day will be like.
Dave Filoni looked radiant, even thinking about shooting a scene with George Lucas in “Mandalorian,” and it was clearly the look that Jon Favreau caught when he started talking about Filoni’s wonderful relationship with the creator of “Star Wars.” He said that he personally had some “wonderful conversations” with his favorite director, but he admits that the connection between Filoni and Lucas is quite different:
Well, he was on set when Dave was directing, so I like watching Dave and George together. George, I have a lot of respect for him, I’m very lucky that I had wonderful conversations during which I learned a lot, but when I see Dave and George Lucas together, it’s like a whole… how long have you been working together? Twelve years?
Responding, Dave Filoni explained that he had the opportunity to work with George Lucas for more than a decade, and he clearly felt happy having such an experience:
Close to that, yes. At least 10. It was a master class. Every day was a master class, so I try to apply it every day and pass on what I learned. This is the Jedi experience I’ve had.
Judging by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni’s comments, it doesn’t look like viewers can expect George Lucas to appear in the season 3 episode of “Mandalorian,” but Favreau confirmed to CinemaBlend at Star Wars Celebration 2022 that season 4 has already begun. works, so maybe the legendary director will be able to appear during this screening.
A minute has passed since we last saw the new episode of “Mandalorian” — the second season finale aired on December 18, 2020 — but there are only a few months left to wait, as season 3 will debut in early 2023.

Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague signed on to an Aug. 25 letter to Kunal Kapoor, CEO of Morningstar, Inc., objecting to the negative rating of firms based on criteria developed by the boycott divestment and sanctions movement.
Sprague is one of 18 state treasurers to do so.
“They’re using this BDS criteria,” Sprague told the Cleveland Jewish News Aug. 29. “That does nothing more than try to isolate the state of Israel, and continues to spread hatred against the Jewish people. And I think anybody that feels like that is OK needs to understand that America is better than that.”
The state of Ohio has a total of $192.5 million in Israel bonds, with the most recent purchase in May. Sprague has purchased a total of $182.5 million in Israel bonds since taking office in 2019.
“I wanted to lend my voice as treasurer of the state of Ohio to this effort, this letter, because we’re active investors in Israel bonds,” he said.
The letter is aimed at Sustainalytics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Morganstar, for using BDS criteria in evaluating products.
“This BDS movement has now become a large part of this larger environmental, social and governance investing,” Sprague said. “And it’s meant essentially as a political score, and they’re using it to try to isolate Israel.”
The letter reads in part, “It is clear to us that the environmental, social, governance (ESG) research and ratings products offered by Sustainalytics are deeply infused with anti-Israel bias,” the letter reads in part, “Specifically, Sustainalytics relies on anti-Israel sources and automatically punishes any company involved in the Israeli economy in its ratings system.
It references a letter sent by “dozens of national and regional Jewish organizations,” as well.
“Morningstar’s continued statements to the contrary, including a recent letter published in The Wall Street Journal, appear intentionally misleading,” it continues. “Companies, investors, and asset managers – including those contracted with our states – rely upon Morningstar and other firms for unbiased financial research. As state financial officers, we have a fiduciary duty to ensure that the financial research our respective states rely upon is based on sound financial principles rather than BDS movement tactics meant to isolate Israel in the world economy and breed prejudice against the Jewish people.
“Many of our states have investments in Israel, and we view Sustainalytics’ practices are a direct attack on those investments,” the letter continues. “As Americans who strongly support Israel – a close democratic ally of the United States – we are also deeply disturbed by a corporate culture at Morningstar that would allow researchers to rely on sources aligned with the anti-Semitic BDS movement,” the letter reads. “We urge Morningstar to take corrective action immediately to terminate all research and ratings products that treat Israel-connected companies differently than companies operating in other free democracies. This includes termination of automatic incident reporting related to companies operating in disputed territories controlled by Israel, elimination of terminology and definitions hostile to Israel, and halting the use of known anti-Israel sources.”
It concludes, “The BDS Movement is antithetical to the global causes of peace, democracy, and human rights. We sincerely hope that Morningstar will take corrective measures to ensure that companies, investors, and asset managers – including those contracted with our states – can once again rely upon Morningstar for unbiased financial research.”

Unvaccinated NBA players, staff must test weekly for COVID
Published: Aug. 30, 2022 at 12:39 PM EDT|Updated: 48 minutes ago
(AP) - Unvaccinated NBA players and team personnel must submit to weekly COVID-19 testing this season.
The league told its clubs of that plan in a memo Tuesday.
There will be certain exceptions to that mandate. That includes when the unvaccinated person is considered to have been “recently recovered” from COVID-19.
But for all others, testing will not be required except when “directed by their team physician or a league physician or government authority.”

Joe Rogan Calls Out VP Harris Over Brittney Griner Hypocrisy
Joe Rogan Calls Out VP Harris ... Over Griner Hypocrisy
8/30/2022 9:03 AM PT
Joe Rogan says VP Kamala Harris is a hypocrite for advocating on behalf of Brittney Griner -- who remains in jail in Russia on drug charges -- when she's prosecuted people for non-violent drug offenses as Attorney General of California.
Rogan made the remarks during his 3-hour sitdown convo with Aaron Rodgers on his 'JRE' podcast, where the Packers QB seemingly agreed with Joe's stance on Harris.
"That's why the hypocrisy about the Brittney Griner situation was so egregious in this country," Rogan said. "Where Kamala Harris is talking about how horrible it is that Brittney Griner is in jail."
"Well, you put people in jail. You did. Thousands of people in jail for marijuana. Yeah, it's crazy," Rogan continued.
Harris served as the first woman District Attorney in San Francisco's history ... and became the 32nd Attorney General in California, holding the position from 2011-2017.
Rogan accused Harris and the White House -- who just announced a loan forgiveness program -- of failing to deliver on its campaign promises, specifically addressing non-violent people serving lengthy prison sentences for weed ... which has since been made legal in many states.
"How come you guys didn't exonerate people that were in jail for marijuana when you said you were going to?" Rogan said. "They said that they were going to make marijuana federally legal."
"They said they were going to exonerate prisoners who were in jail for non-violent drug offenses. This is what they said. None of that has happened."
Rodgers, who also addressed his vax controversy during the show, sided with the 'JRE' host, saying, "You mean a politician said something they ran on and then didn't actually enact that said policy?"
"I know, it's crazy," Rogan said ... "[It] rarely happens, but occasionally you catch 'em." | https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/30/joe-rogan-questions-kamala-harris-brittney-griner-marijuana-hypocrisy/ | 2022-08-30T17:32:38Z | https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/30/joe-rogan-questions-kamala-harris-brittney-griner-marijuana-hypocrisy/ | false | 1 |
Brazil regulator approves sale of Petrobras refinery with restriction
Aug 30 (Reuters) - Brazilian antitrust regulator CADE on Tuesday approved the sale of Petrobras' PETR4.SA REMAN refinery to Ream, which is part of the Atem group, but decided the buyer will have to take measures to guarantee that other fuel distributors have access to the plant's waterway terminal.
The approval with restrictions came in a 6-1 CADE board vote. State-run Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as Petrobras is formally known, had agreed to sell the REMAN refinery in the northern state of Amazonas for $189.5 million a year ago.

THE umbrella body of all registered political parties in Nigeria, Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), has warned that the rising level of insecurity in parts of the country may abort the 2023 general elections.
The Chairman of the IPAC, Yabagi Yusuf Sani raised the alarm during a meeting with the Director-General of the Department of State Service (DSS) Yusuf Magaji Bichi.
Sani expressed worry over frightening incidents of insecurity across the country in recent times.
He described insecurity as a major threat to the country’s progress on the path of democracy.
In a statement released on Monday by his spokesman, Ayuba Ahmad, Sani was quoted as saying, “Beside the calamities of death, disruption of the nation’s economy and the devastating social dislocations presently on the rampage across the country, the monstrous phenomenon of insecurity palpably portends the capacity of reversing the gains Nigeria has made in the entrenchment and consolidation of democracy by aborting the coming elections in 2023.”
Sani claimed that terrorists have taken control of parts of some states in the Northern region and are targeting formations of security agencies.
The IPAC chairman is the latest to raise concerns over the effect of insecurity on the 2023 general elections.
Nigerian governors had in a policy brief with President Muhammadu Buhari last week, expressed concerns over the growing incidents of insecurity in the North-western region.
The governors warned that elections may not hold in some North-West states and urged the President to take effective measures towards addressing the prevalent security issues in the Northern parts of the country.
The United Kingdom (UK) had also expressed concerns over the spate of violence and insecurity in Nigeria in the build up to the 2023 general elections.
The Director of UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Department, Chris Beecroft, who spoke at the launch of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum Peace and Inclusive Security Initiative (PISI) in Abuja last month, warned that the 2023 general elections may not hold.
Beecroft, who cited cases of insurgency in the North-East, resource conflicts in the Niger Delta, killings in the South-East and banditry in the North-West, called on the Nigerian government to strengthen its military force towards resolving the security challenges.
“We are at a critical juncture in Nigeria’s journey, and now is an important moment for new thinking and action to build a more peaceful future for all Nigerians.
“Police and army are in urgent need of reform-but the solution to Nigeria’s instability does not lie in simply strengthening the police and army-but rather in building an effective social contract, building federal, state, local and community level infrastructure to manage conflict; and in giving young people jobs and opportunities so they have a stake in a prosperous and peaceful Nigeria,” Beecroft said.
However, the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, a retired Major General, had assured Nigerians that the 2023 general elections would hold peacefully.
Monguno, who spoke at the opening of an election security management workshop held by the Nigerian Police Force earlier in August, said President Muhammadu Buhari had ordered the police and other security agencies to review their operational strategies towards curtailing the rising security challenges which threaten the 2023 polls.
Also, the Director General of DSS, Yusuf Magaji Bichi assured that insecurity would be addressed before the 2023 general elections.
Responding to the concerns raised by IPAC, Bichi said, “While members of the public may not be aware of the impressive mileage covered so far, the security agencies have been working assiduously in collaborative efforts with the results that the various armed groups, insurgents and other violent criminals have been severely decapitated to the near position of total annihilation.”
He further urged the political parties, their candidates and supporters to ensure peaceful and issue-based campaigns “instead of stoking the embers of insecurity, anarchy and violence by whipping up divisive sentiments of religion, ethnicity, regional and other fault lines”.

The 2022 college football season is finally here.
That means we’ll start seeing the overall rankings and bowl projections updated on a weekly basis. For the preseason, USA TODAY Sports’ Erick Smith believes eight Big 12 teams will reach a bowl game this season.
Smith chose Oklahoma to reach the College Football Playoff, where they’ll face Alabama for the first time since the 2018 Orange Bowl. The Crimson Tide won that meeting 45-34.
Texas is expected to reach a bowl game after failing to do so during Steve Sarkisian’s first season in Austin. The Longhorns are slated to face Kentucky in the Liberty Bowl.
TCU, Kansas State, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and West Virginia are each expected to go bowling in Smith’s first edition of projections as well. Here’s a look at what bowl games the eight Big 12 teams are projected to play in.

2023 Elections Will be Free Of Intimidation – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday promised not to allow intimidations of any sort, whether materially, morally or physically during the 2023 elections.
He said the kind of leadership that thrives on intimidation will not benefit the nation.
The President was speaking when he received some Governors of the All Progressives Congress, led by Kebbi State Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, at the State House, a statement signed by presidential spokesperson Femi Adesina said.
President Buhari stated that under his leadership he will continue to respect Nigerians by ensuring that their votes count and the people’s voice matter in choosing political leaders at different levels.
He further assured Nigerians that the APC will continue to bequeath strong political institutions that reflect their choices, through non-interference in elections, citing outcome of polls in Ekiti, Anambra and Osun States as cogent indicators. | https://www.channelstv.com/2022/08/30/2023-elections-will-be-free-of-intimidation-buhari/ | 2022-08-30T17:43:18Z | https://www.channelstv.com/2022/08/30/2023-elections-will-be-free-of-intimidation-buhari/ | false | 4 |
DETROIT – Two Metro Detroit universities are being recognized for having some of the most LGBTQ-friendly policies, programs and practices in the state and in the nation.
Campus Pride has identified the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and Oakland University on their list of “Best of the Best” college campuses for LGBTQ students for 2022. The Campus Pride Index, which is currently used by more than 230 U.S. colleges and universities, allows higher education institutions to self-assess their policies and programs to see if they are LGBTQ friendly.
“Campus Pride created the Best of the Best List to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of these colleges and universities, creating safer, more welcoming campuses for LGBTQ+ people,” said Shane Windmeyer, Campus Pride executive director. “Students, prospective students, and their families, along with faculty and staff members, deserve to know whether they will be safe on campus, so they can make the best choices for their own academic success -- and by creating inclusive, safe environments these colleges are taking responsibility for all students.”
Other Michigan institutions take part in the index -- including Wayne State University, Grand Valley University and a number of other schools -- but most don’t rank nearly as high as Oakland University and the University of Michigan.
Oakland University officials say the school has often ranked well in the index, but this year is the university’s first time landing on the “Best of the Best” list.
On the 2022 Best of the Best list are 40 four-year colleges and universities from across the nation. These institutions received a 93% or higher on their LGBTQ-inclusive policies, programs and practices, officials said.
“We are seeing more and more colleges earn five stars because campuses are doing more to support their trans students,” said Dr. Genny Beemyn, coordinator of Campus Pride’s Trans Policy Clearinghouse. “While all colleges can and should do more to be trans-inclusive, many institutions are taking important steps forward.”

Entertainment of Tuesday, 30 August 2022
Source: www.ghanaweb.com
Celebrated music producer, Hammer of The Last Two, has publicised that he left music production because he was exhausted with the tedious nature of the job.
Speaking to Kafui Dei on GTV’s Breakfast Show, he elucidated that being stuck in his studio day and night made him feel like a prisoner.
“I was bored. I felt like a prisoner. I was locked up in a room with no windows for fifteen-plus years. The artistes come and go….these boys were out on stage jumping around. When they come back, you are still in that space,” he said.
"I sat down for 8 hours playing, making beats, producing, and it got boring at some point. So, I became like an uncaged dog when I got the chance to get out. That’s why you see me on the street," he said.
Furthermore, he blamed his weight gain on the constant hours he spent in the studio, rarely getting any exercise at all.
“My name is ‘Slim The Hammer’ I wasn’t fat; I was an athlete in PRESEC. So, this business of becoming big was the studio,” Hammer said.
Hammer disclosed that after he stopped making beats, he ventured into other businesses and bread production.
He also added that to keep his touch on making beats, he has created a small studio in his house for his kids and himself to play around with.
“I have a small set up at home that my children use, so after the playing around, I want to get the thing back to my fingers. I’m gonna need some help though. It’s been 7 years since I touched equipment.”

New York City (WPIX) — A woman fell from her apartment bathroom into the basement of her building when the floor partially collapsed on Sunday morning, police in New York City said.
The woman, 28, was a tenant in a first-floor apartment of the Bronx building, a representative for the city’s Department of Buildings confirmed. Inspectors with the department said she suffered minor injuries.
She was taken to a hospital for treatment, according to police.
Inspectors with the DOB ultimately determined that the floor — specifically, a 4-foot-by-2-foot section directly in front of the shower and toilet — collapsed due to a lack of proper maintenance.
“As a result, DOB has issued a violation to the landlord for failure to properly maintain the building,” the DOB confirmed in an email.
The building’s owner has also been ordered to hire a professional engineer to conduct an inspection and file a report on the structural stability of the rest of the apartment, the DOB said.
In the meantime, a partial vacate order was issued for the impacted apartment and the area of the cellar below it.
“DOB Engineers will be following up with the building owner and their contracted engineer,” the DOB said. | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/national/woman-falls-through-bathroom-floor-in-nyc-lands-in-basement/ | 2022-08-30T17:48:04Z | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/national/woman-falls-through-bathroom-floor-in-nyc-lands-in-basement/ | true | 21 |
Dolphins have ‘wingmen’ to help court mates, study says
(CNN) – It appears the dating scene for dolphins looks a lot like that of humans.
In a new study, scientists found the marine mammals share the concept of “wingmen” with their human counterparts.
Researchers analyzed the social structure of bottlenose dolphins and found males of the species team up to help each other find mates.
The teams allow the male dolphins to spend more time with their female dolphin of choice, increasing the likelihood of a connection.
Like any good “bromance,” the bonds between male dolphins also create social ties that have long-term benefits for the male dolphins, researchers said
The study was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

A Langley man got into a scuffle with a thief trying to swipe his catalytic converter on Sunday afternoon, RCMP say.
At about 5 p.m. on Aug. 28, a resident in Langley City, near 199th Street and 56th Avenue, interrupted a suspected thief who was apparently trying to remove a part from the victim’s vehicle.
According to a police report on the incident, the suspect allegedly attacked the car owner, and there was a brief fight.
The suspect got away in a vehicle described as a grey Infiniti, which had a broken driver’s side window and tail light, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.
The damage to the car may have been caused during the fight, according to a post on social media.
The man who identified himself as the victim posted on Facebook, saying he had given the suspect some “lumps” before he got away.
Langley Mounties were called to the scene, and Largy said that fortunately the victim’s injuries were not serious enough to require a trip to the hospital.
READ ALSO: Catalytic converter stolen from Food Bank delivery vehicle
The incident is under investigation, and RCMP are doing a video canvas of the area.
Anyone who has seen the damaged grey or silver Infiniti is asked to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200, or to leave an anonymous tip with CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
Largy noted that if anyone sees someone stealing from their vehicle, including a catalytic converter theft, they should call 9-1-1 first and not attempt to stop the thief themselves.
“We would never recommend somebody to interrupt some kind of theft, especially when they have a tool,” she said.
It’s far too easy to get hurt in that situation, Largy said.
Catalytic converter thefts have become a common occurrence around the Lower Mainland, as the parts contain valuable metals. It can be a major nuisance for drivers and ICBC, as repairs can cost thousands of dollars.

OBITUARY
Bruce Montague obituary
Versatile actor best known for playing Leonard Dunn opposite Wendy Craig in the popular BBC TV sitcom Butterflies
When Bruce Montague met the writer Carla Lane at a dinner party in 1978, he did not know who she was –— let alone that she was sizing him up for a part in her latest sitcom, Butterflies, which she had just sold to the BBC.
Montague was in his 40th year with a solid career behind him, mostly on stage in rep and with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Yet there was little on his CV to suggest he could cut it in comedy, particularly opposite Wendy Craig, who had endeared herself to the nation’s viewers a decade earlier as a wonderfully scatty middle-class mother in Not in Front of the Children.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The leading influencer management company Digital Brand Architects (DBA), a United Talent Agency (UTA) company, announced today that it has acquired golf marketing and digital talent management company, Digital Golf Collective (DGC). The addition of DGC to DBA's portfolio serves to expand the company's footprint into the sports industry, reinforcing DBA's continued growth in tandem with the rapidly evolving creator economy and further exemplifying how boundless the influencer industry has become.
DBA will leverage its expertise in digital talent management, brand development and extensive resource network to expand upon DGC's existing opportunities and capabilities in digital talent representation, brand marketing, social media management and strategic partnerships within sports and lifestyle.
"From our first meeting, I was immediately struck by the vision Jess and Sean laid out and how seamlessly it aligned with our own perspective on the world of content creation," said Penchansky. "Their success in such a niche area is indicative of their creative approach and I am thrilled that they are part of the DBA team. Together we will be able to expand opportunities for our clients and evolve our business in fresh ways."
Founded by seasoned marketing executives and entrepreneurs Jess McAlister and Sean Guerrero, DGC was born out of passion and the immense opportunity within the golf industry to manage strategy and branding for leading creators, brands, events and tournaments. All of DGC's individual digital talent and branding clients, including Tisha Alyn, Ryan Rustand and Cassandra Meyer, will join DBA's roster of leading digital talent. Under DBA, DGC's day-to-day operations will continue to be run by McAlister and Guerrero, who will dually report into DBA CEO Raina Penchansky and SVP of Finance AD Rastogi.
"After creating and shaping the influencer marketing economy within golf, this is an exciting moment for the future of DGC and our clients," said McAlister and Guerrero in a joint statement. "As golf keeps trending upwards as the fastest growing segment in sports, the timing couldn't be better for us to join the expansive networks of DBA and UTA."
"The partnership between DBA and DGC will allow both companies to capitalize on the significant opportunity within the multi-billion dollar golf industry," said Rastogi. "With the sizable increase in spending across equipment, apparel, accessories, entertainment, travel and lifestyle, this partnership is a logical next step in our growth."
The acquisition further marks the opportunity to broaden the conversation around golf as a lifestyle within the creator economy and amplify the consistent disruption of traditional entertainment.

Isaiah Likely: Ravens Biggest Preseason Winner
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ravens rookie tight end Isaiah Likely burst onto the preseason and was one of the team's most dominant players.
The Ravens hope that success translates once the games count.
Likely recently was named one of the NFL's "Preseason Winners" by Pro Football Focus.
"Another player looking to be a mid-round steal, Isaiah Likely is sending people back to the tape to find out why they overlooked him. At Coastal Carolina, Likely’s grades improved each year and his final two seasons were above 90.0. He generated at least 2.70 yards per route run in each of the last two seasons and dropped only nine passes in four years while averaging almost 7.0 yards after the catch over the last couple of seasons. Likely might not be much of a factor as a blocker, but he is polished and dominant enough as a receiver that it doesn’t matter."
Likely, a fourth-round pick from Coastal Carolina, made plays in the middle of the field and beat cornerbacks for long completions throughout the OTAs and training camp.
In the second preseason game against the Cardinals, Likely caught 8 passes for 100 yards with a touchdown.

He quickly caught the attention of coach John Harbaugh.
"Isaiah Likely has made a bunch of plays; he’s a big target out there," Harbaugh said. "He has a catch radius. You can see it. He can go get passes that aren’t right on the spot, and he can extend and go get them.”
The Ravens might have gotten a steal by selecting Likely with the 139th overall pick.
He could be a major impactful player as a rookie.
"[Harbaugh] just understood that my versatility was really unmatched," Likely said. "I come to a unique offense like the Ravens where you have a great quarterback in Lamar Jackson and really just a bunch of pieces, and then you have a Pro Bowler in Mark Andrews.
"Just being able to learn under him and be able to just do what I do on the football field is what I bring to the Ravens.” | https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/news/isaiah-likely-ravens-biggest-preseason-winner | 2022-08-30T18:12:58Z | https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/news/isaiah-likely-ravens-biggest-preseason-winner | false | 1 |

TikTok challenge sparks surge in car thefts across Philadelphia region, police say
By Walter Perez
Click here for updates on this story
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — There are growing concerns about a TikTok challenge that is leading to dozens of car thefts in the region.
Authorities say the thieves are targeting Hyundai and Kia vehicles.
At least five Hyundais and Kias were stolen from one section of North Philadelphia over this past weekend alone.
Tanisha Smith was rushing out of her house Monday morning when she realized her 2019 Kia was stolen.
Investigators say this is part of a TikTok challenge that teaches people how to start Hyundais and Kias with the use of a USB cable.
According to police records, at least 35 Hyundais and Kias were stolen across the city over the past week.
Smith said she had important documents in her car.
“I have my kids’ Social Security cards in there, medical cards in there. I have my debit card, my work ID,” she said.
And she wasn’t alone.
Joan Vieldhouse’s Hyundai also disappeared early Sunday morning.
She says the thieves had a field day in her section of North Philadelphia over the weekend.
“When the police officer came…he said I was the fourth one in the morning, and he was on his way to a fifth one when he got through with me,” said Vieldhouse.
Investigators are warning Hyundai and Kia owners to take added precautions, including parking in well-lit areas and using steering wheel locks if possible.
In a previous statement to Action News, Kia said they are aware of the rise in vehicle thefts in our area but that new models and trims have an immobilizer applied. It also said all Kia vehicles for sale in the U.S. meet or exceed federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Study by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland indicates that the cause is climate change
A huge ice sheet Greenland it should raise the global sea level by at least 27 centimeters, according to a study released this Monday, 29. The ‘doomed’ spaces are thick, but are no longer directly linked to the larger glaciers. The glaciologist of the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, William Colgan, said that this melting is caused by the climate changes. “It’s dead ice. It will melt and disappear from the ice sheet. This ice was sent to the ocean, regardless of the climate scenario we adopt now,” she pointed out. The number pointed out in the study is double that expected by scientists. A more radical study of Nature Climate Change brings that number up to 78 centimeters more ocean. However, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2021 report projected a range of six to 13 centimeters for the increase in sea numbers by the year 2100. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/30/greenlands-doomed-ice-sheet-could-raise-sea-levels-by-up-to-30-centimeters/ | 2022-08-30T18:19:29Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/30/greenlands-doomed-ice-sheet-could-raise-sea-levels-by-up-to-30-centimeters/ | true | 2 |

BNP vice-chairman Mintoo among 354 sued in Feni
Two cases have been filed against 354 people, including BNP Vice-Chairman Abdul Awal Mintoo, in connection with Monday's clash between BNP activists and police in Sonagazi upazila of Feni.
Sourajit Barua and Main Uddin, two sub-inspectors of Sonagazi Model Police Station filed the cases against 94 identified BNP leaders and its activists on Tuesday.
Ripon, 28, an activist of BNP detained earlier, was shown arrested in the two cases.
On Monday, at least ten people were injured in a clash between police and BNP activists when they were holding a rally at Sonagazi zero point in the upazila, as part of their central programme protesting the price hike of daily commodities including oil, gas, and fertilizers, as well as the murders of Swechchasebak Dal leader Abdur Rahim and unit Chhatra Dal president Noor-e Alam in Bhola.
Police fired 60 rounds of bullets during Monday's violent clash.

Evolution of land plants changed composition of Earth's crust, study finds
A new study involving an international team of researchers has found that the evolution of land plants caused a sudden shift in the composition of Earth's continents.
The discovery was made by linking the fossil record of plants with archives of environmental change, and with records of the chemical composition of the Earth deep beneath our feet, over the past 700 million years.
In doing so, scientists have pinpointed a dramatic shift in the composition of rocks making up Earth's continents that was driven by the primitive vegetation trapping mud on land, stopping it washing down rivers and out into the sea.
Dr. Alex Brasier, from the University of Aberdeen's School of Geosciences, is among the co-authors of the study which involved scientists from the universities of Southampton, Cambridge, Wuhan in China and Queen's University in Canada. It has been published in Nature Geoscience.
Dr. Brasier says that "the first land plants were simple, small things like mosses that lived in wet environments on land between about 450 and 420 million years ago during the Ordovician and Silurian Periods. Bigger plants with deeper roots that could live in drier environments evolved shortly after, in the Devonian Period."
"These primitive plants spread across the land, transforming what was once a Mars-like planet of barren rock into a world of life growing in organic-rich soils. Some of the most spectacular and important early land plant fossils on Earth are from the village of Rhynie in Aberdeenshire, where minerals precipitated from a hot-spring and fossilized their stems—together with other things that were living on the plants like the ancestors of insects—407 million years ago."
Dr. Brasier added that the study will inform upcoming examination of fossils originating from the small Aberdeenshire village of Rhynie, well known amongst paleontologists for its spectacular fossils of 407-million-year-old primitive plants.
"We are now working with colleagues from Queen's University on the chemistry of the rocks from the Rhynie hot-springs, where we hope to reveal more about this important fossil-preserving site and searching for further clues on how these early land plants changed the Earth."
The proliferation of plants completely transformed Earth's biosphere—those parts of the planet's surface where life thrives—with small plants later evolving into trees, and paving the way for giant 2.5 meter long centipedes that left their footprints on the Isle of Arran in the coal swamps of the Carboniferous period, and later for the advent of dinosaurs.
The study's lead author, Dr. Christopher Spencer, Assistant Professor at Queen's University, explained that plants caused fundamental changes to river systems, bringing about more meandering rivers and muddy floodplains, as well as thicker soils.
He added that "this shift was tied to the development of plant rooting systems that helped produce colossal amounts of mud (by breaking down rocks) and stabilized river channels, which locked up this mud for long periods."
The team recognized that Earth's surface and deep interior are linked by plate tectonics—rivers flush mud into the oceans, and this mud then gets dragged into the Earth's molten interior at subduction zones where it gets melted to form new rocks.
"When these rocks crystallize, they trap in vestiges of their past history," explained study co-author Dr. Tom Gernon, Associate Professor of Earth Science at the University of Southampton. "So, we hypothesized that the evolution of plants should dramatically slow down the delivery of mud to the oceans, and that this feature should be preserved in the rock record—it's that simple."
To test this idea, the team studied a database of over five thousand zircon crystals formed in magmas at subduction zones—essentially 'time capsules' that preserve vital information on the chemical conditions that prevailed on Earth when they crystallized.
The team uncovered compelling evidence for a dramatic shift in the composition of rocks making up Earth's continents, which neatly coincides with the onset of the first mud-trapping land plants.
Notably, the scientists also found that the chemical characteristics of zircon crystals generated at this time indicate a significant slowing down of sediment transfer to the oceans, just as they had hypothesized.
The researchers show that vegetation changed not only the surface of the Earth, but also the dynamics of melting in Earth's mantle.
"It is amazing to think that the greening of the continents was felt in the deep Earth," Dr. Spencer said. "Hopefully this previously unrecognized link between the Earth's interior and surface environment stimulates further study."

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

After a weekend of trending for reasons beyond her control, Lizzo took the reins during the 2022 Video Music Awards.
It was an important night for Lizzo who was nominated for five awards at this year’s VMAs: Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Video, Song of Summer and the Video for Good.
The singer also performed a snippet of her hit single, “About Damn Time,” before launching into her new single, “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready).” During the performance, Lizzo paid homage to Beyoncé performing the song in sync with the background screen similar to the icon’s Billboard Music Awards performance in 2011, per Page Six.
The star also took home the award for “Video for Good”—an award that highlights music videos with positive social messages.
During her acceptance speech, she referenced being trolled by comedian Aries Spears over the weekend. Spears defamed her making snide and nasty comments about her body shape—an effort that did not bode well for him on Twitter.
Lizzo didn’t mention Spears by name, saying, “I want to say thank you so much for supporting me and loving me. And now, to the b*tches that got somethin’ to say about me in the press.” She paused before adding, “You know what? I’m not gonna say nothin’. They be like, ‘Lizzo, why don’t you clap back? Why don’t you clap back?’ Because, b*tch, I’m winning, ho!”
She added another Beyoncé shoutout before walking off the stage declaring the, “Best revenge is your paper, b*tch!”

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Falcon experts from breeding farms around the world have been singing the praises of this year’s International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition just two days into the event.
Now in its fourth year, the exhibition is larger than ever with visitation expected to top 500,000 over the course of the event, which runs from 25th August - 3rd September. Over 350 exhibitors are in attendance and many have shared their delight at the impact the exhibition is having on the industry.
Held at the Saudi Falcons Club HQ at Malham, attendees are greeted by the vast auditorium packed with falconry stalls, memorabilia, technology, equipment, photographs and items detailing the rich history of falconry in Saudi Arabia, including a huge stand showing the important work the Saudi Falcons Club does to promote the art of falconry and also the conservation of birds of prey. Namely with its Hadad project that helps the conservation of both two migratory falcons - the Saker falcon and the Peregrine falcon, along with the two resident birds, the Barbary falcon and the Lanner falcon.
International falcon breeders have been showcasing their stunning birds, with farms being represented from around the world. Numerous breeders from Europe include the UK’s Fox and Desert falcons, France’s SB Falcons and Hura Falcons from Belgium. From further afield, Sullivan Mews are attending from USA while more locally Gulf Falcons are in attendance from Bahrain.
French Breeder Philippe Hertel from SB Falcons said: “It’s my second participation at the exhibition and we are very proud and happy to have our farm here. For us it’s very important to be a part of the event as the business in Saudi Arabia there is a lot of falconers so of course we should be here to present our birds. We specialize in racing and so we have very fast falcons, we have had some winners in the past, so it’s important for the people here to see what we have to offer. The organization of the event is very good, from the shipping to the accommodation etc. It’s the best in the world compared to other events."
German Breeder Ulf Voss from Voss Falcons said: “It’s the first time we are here, we are very happy to have been invited! We have 38 falcons with a great racing and hunting history. We try to bring the best racing falcons while making some great contacts for the future. We hope to increase our business with Saudi Arabia and so we are here getting our brand name out there to the people within the industry, it’s the most important thing for us right now. Saudi Arabia is the place to be for falconry at the moment and so it’s a really interesting market right now.”
Belgian Breeder Giel Van Haecke from Hura Falcons said: “It is very well organized, and it’s a great place for people to gather, connect and meet. You can’t get any better for the breeder, it’s a great place to sell birds and you need an event like this to make your name. Everyone is very friendly and there is a lot of different birds this year and when you breed quality there is no problem.”
The exhibition has a special section dedicated solely to the history of falconry both in Saudi Arabia and around the world. This area is full of interactive exhibits in place to educate and inspire the next generation of falconers in the Middle East. Other areas include an art gallery, featuring Saudi artist Hila Alhmod who is displaying a stunning Peregrine falcon, which has been created by pyrography. There is also an impressive auction hall for the daily falcon auctions. Education is a huge theme this year and experts are giving daily talks on the art of falconry, and there’s a big emphasis on encouraging the next generation of falconers through motivational speaking and children’s learning areas.
Now in its fourth year, the International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2022, has been welcoming visitors and exhibitors from over 30 participating countries, making it the biggest edition of the event thus far. The event, taking place in Riyadh, runs until 3rd September 2022.

On the outskirts of Kyiv, vegetation grows unchecked and the cats run wild.
Up until six months ago -- when the first Russian troops landed at Antonov Airport around a kilometre and a half away -- the brick buildings of Proskurivska Street in Hostomel evoked idyllic postcards of an orderly and peaceful world.
Now, only naked structures remain. Inside are piles of rubble. Something rots, hidden underneath.
The cats no longer belong to anyone. They roam hungry and lonely, approaching anyone who comes to contemplate what is left of the neighbourhood.
One of them is Lyudmila Holovienko.
The 55-year-old's apartment in Proskurivska Street was burned down in late February, in the early days of the invasion.
Now, she wanders the deserted street that had been her home for 35 years.
“We haven't touched anyone, we haven't taken anything from anyone, we haven't attacked anyone,” said Lyudmila, referring to the loss of her house. “Do you see what the Russians did?”
The three-storey property that housed her apartment, which dates from 1936, had endured Nazi occupation but didn't survive the Russian invasion.
Hostomel was among the first towns occupied in Kyiv's suburbs, along with neighbouring Bucha and Irpin, the scenes of alleged civilian massacres.
Street-by-street battles broke out in Hostomel, forcing many residents to flee. Those that stayed hid for days or weeks in cellars without heating, gas or electricity.
Volunteers who tried to bring them food and medicines came under gunfire, said Lyudmila, and the town’s mayor, Yuri Prylypko, was killed in early March.
Lyudmila was not at home when her property burned down, instead living with her ill, bedridden mother a few kilometres away, a decision that would save her life.
It was there that she heard the first noises of the invasion.
“I thought it was a gas tank from our neighbours," she said. "And then three hours later, everything started: planes, smoke, shooting. It was just such a horror.”
If losing her home wasn't enough, in April, she lost her mother. She was 86.
“She didn't survive it all, the cold, the hunger,” Lyudmila said. “As long as I live, I'll remember it all for the rest of my life.”
Just a few months earlier, Lyudmila had lost her daughter, who died from cancer, aged 32 -- on New Year's Eve.
In August, six months since the war began, Lyudmila is back at her late mother's property, dishing up a meal of cold salo, chicken dishes and fresh pickles.
Next to Lyudmila are her young niece and daring 75-year-old aunt, who faced Russian soldiers when they knocked on her door in search of men, food, and weapons.
The trio, along with Lyudmila's uncle, sheltered in their house during the occupation.
The broken roof and damaged windows left by the explosions have since been fixed, but the glass has been taped over in the shape of an "x" as a precaution.
Now a quiet sense of normalcy has set in, but the wounds and painful memories linger.
Lyudmila does not know what will happen with the reconstruction of Hostomel and the rubble inside her building remains untouched.
With the fear of a strong winter ahead, she must prepare for what is to come.
“I'll come back here, I want to live here, I like it here, everything is native here,” she said of Proskurivska Street back in June, her voice trembling.
“We all just got hurt, all of us. Every family has grief, misfortune. It's just awful.” | https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/08/30/ukrainian-who-lost-everything-in-war-vows-a-return-to-her-ruined-home | 2022-08-30T18:42:02Z | https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/08/30/ukrainian-who-lost-everything-in-war-vows-a-return-to-her-ruined-home | false | 1 |

For many manufacturers, the acceptance of product classification is growing steadily with today’s extensive possibilities to compare products online a reflection of customers worldwide demanding transparency.
Aspects of quality, delivery, reliability, logistical performance, pricing and supplier expertise are equally important in this regard. Digitally providing such objective and comparable product information saves all parties involved precious time – and therefore money.
With this in mind, the national employer association Ai Group has partnered with ETIM International to launch ETIM Australia and New Zealand, which will be a game changer for the construction industry and its related manufacturing and distribution sector.
ETIM is a technical information model that enables manufacturers to upload technical data about their products into a common classification system so that building designers, builders, subcontractors and clients may easily understand and compare the technical aspects of individual, or groups of, products.
Whether a business operates as a manufacturer, wholesaler or end user, the ETIM model enables quick, concise identification and data exchange between internationally operating parties, regardless of language.
The model is in operation in over 20 countries. It is managed at a global level by ETIM International with chapters established at the local level to manage the conversion and operation of the model across jurisdictions. For manufacturers, having the technical data relating to their products contained within the ETIM international data standard is a significant benefit to their export capability, in addition to making it easier for local purchasers to identify what products work for them.
Classification is a clear-cut way to logically structure product data. The ETIM model provides such a structure for technical products and ensures uniformity in shared product information. It includes the following categories or entities:
- Product groups
- Product classes
- Synonyms (Keywords)
- Features
- Values
- Units
The ETIM model will be applied firstly to products in the electrotechnology sector followed by plumbing and heating, ventilation and air conditioning. The standard is also adaptable for general building products and tools.
The ETIM Australia and New Zealand Chapter is supported by a group of Founding Members which reads like a who’s who of the electrotechnology manufacturing and distribution sector. These companies include ABB, APS Industrial, Eaton Electrical, Hager Electro, Legend Corporation, Legrand Australia, Metal Manufacturers Pty Limited (MMEM), NHP Electrical Engineering Products, Nexans Olex Australia, Phoenix Contact, Prysmian Australia, Siemens, Sonepar (Lawrence and Hanson) and Weidmuller.
Adding structure to the flow of technical information within the value chain, the ETIM model facilitates effective interaction between B2B professionals worldwide, which is why it is attractive to electrical wholesalers and distributors currently struggling with a myriad of different technical specification sheets and information relating to the products they sell. Selecting the right product solutions has never been more straightforward.
ETIM is also adding a 3D process to its classification system. ETIM Modelling Classes (ETIM MC) is an extension to the basic classification model, specifying parameters for representation of products as 3D geometric objects.
ETIM MC enables the uniform exchange of 3D product data among users and CAD software. It was purposefully developed as an extra layer around the core model, leaving the basic model untouched. In other words, no added complexity if you only use the basic ETIM classification! All of this bodes well for the effective implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) within the Australian and New Zealand construction sectors.
The ETIM data model will be converted for use within the Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions by groups of industry experts working under the auspices of the Chapter’s Technical Committee.
The first two product areas to be addressed will be Power Distribution & Protection and Motor Protection & Motor Control. Other areas to be assessed include Industrial Components & Wiring Devices, Industrial Automation & Control and Energy Efficiency & Lighting. The likely scope of products within these areas include:
Power distribution & protection
Panel boards, power distribution chassis, load centres, circuit protection (MCB, RCD, MCCB and ACB etc.), earth leakage protection, switchboard monitoring, fuses and fuse protection, surge protection, transfer switching, switches (covering load break switches and isolators; GPO’s, plugs and sockets.
Motor protection & motor control
Contactors, overload protection relays, motor circuit protection breakers, soft starters, variable speed drives.
Industrial components & wiring devices
Enclosures, signalling (sight and sound), cooling and heating, timers & relays, push buttons and pilot lights, wire, cable and conduit, termination & wiring systems.
Industrial automation & control
Micro and modular programmable controllers and smart relays, motion, visualisation and reporting software, operator panels, industrial computers, gateways and networks.
Energy efficiency & lighting
Metering, CT’s, transducers, EV, power quality, building automation, solar, emergency lighting, commercial, industrial, LED and exterior lighting.
Expanding the list of products available under the ETIM model, or making adjustments to the model, will be as simple as completing a request form to ETIM Australia and New Zealand.
A final significant benefit of the ETIM model being implemented in Australia and New Zealand flows from the fact that it is free for industry participants and other users. The only cost will be a subscription fee for businesses to apply the model to their products and have a say in the future of the model in Australia and New Zealand through membership of the Chapter.

Any federal student loans used to attend the for-profit Westwood College from 2002 through 2015 will be canceled after federal officials found that the school greatly exaggerated the job prospects of its graduates, the Biden administration announced Tuesday.
The action will automatically erase $1.5 billion in federal student debt for 79,000 borrowers who attended the now-defunct college, according to the Education Department.
It adds to the administration’s mounting effort to cancel federal loans for students who were defrauded by their colleges — more than $14 billion has been erased so far — and it follows President Joe Biden’s sweeping plan to cancel at least $10,000 in student debt for millions of Americans.
The Westwood College cancellation applies to all students who attended the chain from Jan. 1, 2002, through Nov. 17, 2015, when the college stopped enrolling new students before its 2016 closure. Students will not need to apply for the relief.
Before its closure, Westwood operated 15 campuses in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois and Virginia, along with online programs. Locally, campuses were in Anaheim, Torrance, Los Angeles and Upland.
With help from attorneys general in Colorado and Illinois, federal officials found that the college routinely misled prospective students about their chances of getting good jobs after graduating.
In its marketing materials, the chain advertised employment rates and salary outcomes that were “grossly inflated,” the Education Department found. It also promised to help graduates pay their bills if they couldn’t find jobs within six months after graduating — a pledge officials say wasn’t kept.
In Illinois, the chain’s criminal justice programs told students they could expect law enforcement jobs in agencies including the Illinois State Police, but Westwood never had the accreditation needed to meet employment requirements for the state, authorities found.
“Westwood operated on a culture of false promises, lies, and manipulation in order to profit off student debt that burdened borrowers long after Westwood closed,” said James Kvaal, undersecretary of education.
Kvaal said the administration is ramping up efforts to protect students and to “ensure that executives who commit such harm never work at institutions that receive federal financial aid again.”
A group of students and civil rights organizations sued the Education Department in May demanding debt cancellation for Westwood students in Illinois based on findings of fraud there. It followed a settlement between the college and Illinois that erased institutional loans but not federal debt.
“It never should have taken this long — or litigation — for the Department of Education to do the right thing, but we are thrilled that the department has finally discharged the loans of defrauded Westwood College students,” said Dan Zibel, chief counsel at National Student Legal Defense Network, one of the groups behind the suit.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., called it a victory for students but said more must be done “to crack down on for-profit colleges that lie and lead Illinoisans into mountains of student debt without a viable degree or career path.”
The cancellation is being granted through a federal rule known as borrower defense, which provides federal student debt cancellation to borrowers whose colleges misled them or defrauded them in other ways. The rule has mostly been used to erase debt used to attend for-profit colleges.
In similar actions, the Biden administration also moved to cancel nearly $6 billion for former students of Corinthian Colleges and nearly $4 billion for former students of ITT Technical institute.
After months of intense pressure for broader student debt cancellation, Biden last week unveiled a plan to forgive $10,000 in federal student debt for all borrowers with incomes less than $125,000 a year or $250,000 per household. Those who received a federal Pell Grant to attend college are eligible for an additional $10,000 in cancellation.
The plan, which is almost certain to be challenged in court, applies to federal student loans that were paid out before July 1 of this year. It applies to loans used to attend undergraduate and graduate programs.
Most borrowers will need to apply for cancellation through an application that the Education Department is expected to create by early October. Early applicants could see their student debt canceled before the start of next year, when a federal pause on student debt payments is set to expire.
The White House estimates the cancellation will cost $240 billion over the next 10 years, but outside analysts say it could be much higher. Official cost projections from the federal government are expected in coming weeks.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s annual inflation rate rose to 7.9% in August, returning to its highest level in nearly half a century after it dipped in the two previous months, according to official data
Inflation in Europe’s biggest economy first hit 7.9% in May — the highest rate since the winter of 1973-1974, when prices were fueled by an oil crisis — before slipping back to 7.5% by July. The preliminary figure, which the Federal Statistical Office reported Tuesday, is usually unchanged in a final report about two weeks later.
As in other countries around the world, inflation in Germany has been stoked by Russia’s war in Ukraine, which has led to a rise in energy costs and food prices.
The statistics office said energy prices were up 35.6% on the year in August and food prices rose 16.6%, while the effects of disruption to supply chains caused by the coronavirus pandemic were still being felt.
Germany temporarily lowered taxes on diesel fuel and gasoline at the start of June and introduced an ultra-cheap ticket that allows people to use all local and regional public transportation for 9 euros (dollars) a month. Both of those measures are due to expire on Wednesday.
Germany’s central bank, the Bundesbank, said in its monthly report last week that “the inflation rate could climb up to around 10% in the autumn,” though it noted that the inflation outlook is “extremely uncertain.” | https://www.wspa.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-german-inflation-back-at-near-half-century-record-after-dip/ | 2022-08-30T18:50:49Z | https://www.wspa.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-german-inflation-back-at-near-half-century-record-after-dip/ | true | 33 |

Fixture: Pittsburgh Pirates @ Milwaukee Brewers
Date & Time: Tuesday, August 30, 9:40 p.m. EDT
Venue: American Family Field, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Kolten Wong picked up another hit against the Pirates on Monday, upping his season average versus Pittsburgh to .323. He also has a .909 OPS against his club's division opponents, and he has a favorable matchup against Mitch Keller tonight. Keller allowed a batting average of .322 last year, and this year it's not much better at .282. Look for Wong to produce from the sixth spot tonight.

Aaron Nola struck out 11 hitters last time out, and he's now recorded seven or more punchouts in ten of his previous 12 starts. The Diamondbacks' hitters have struck out more against high strikeout pitchers naturally, even though as a team, they rank around the league average in Ks. With the way Nola has been rolling, look for him to notch at least seven Ks in the desert.

He'll be up against Red Sox righty Kutter Crawford, who has given up 21 hits total in his previous two starts. Correa himself has three multi-hit games out of his last four. Look for Correa, who is a lifetime .323 hitter versus Boston, to have a big game tonight.

Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has confirmed his XI to take on Queen of the South in Premier Sports Cup round of 16 action at Ibrox.
It's been a relentless run of matches for the Light Blues amid domestic and Champions League action, with van Bronckhorst using this one to rest key men against Scottish League One opposition. Adam Devine, Leon King and Robbie Ure are youngsters thrown into the Rangers fold while Allan McGregor starts in goals for the first time since signing a new contract earlier this summer.
Fashion Sakala is given a chance to start in attack, as is new winger Rabbi Matondo. Ridvan Yilmaz is in at left-back and there's a number of youngsters who may debut from the bench. Regulars James Tavernier and Connor Goldson are given a rare rest, as is in-form striker Antonio Colak, who is loving life in Glasgow after signing from PAOK.

(Mass Appeal) – Last month during our painting conversation with Jared Mallet, Design Consultant for Summerlin Floors, we realized there is so much more to painting a room than picking out colors, which is why we’ve asked Jared back to continue the paint discussion. | https://www.wwlp.com/massappeal/finding-inspiration-when-painting-your-home/ | 2022-08-30T18:59:56Z | https://www.wwlp.com/massappeal/finding-inspiration-when-painting-your-home/ | true | null |
A RANGERS supporting radio caller left panellists stunned by suggesting Celtic should have STOPPED scoring at the weekend.
Ange Postecoglou's men trounced Dundee United 9-0 at Tannadice on Sunday to hammer on to the hosts' month of misery.
The Hoops were at their frightening best over the 90 minutes and had both Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada net themselves hat-tricks.
They showed nothing in the way of mercy as they moved to the top of the table - with United now giving head coach Jack Ross the sack in response.
Remarkably however a Rangers supporting viewer was left with criticism of the game management.
Calling in to phone-in show Clyde Superscoreboard - the fan questioned why Postecoglou allowed his side to 'humiliate' their opponents by marching on to the emphatic score.
He said: "I've got greatest respect for Celtic, and I'm a Rangers supporter, the way they're playing is magnificent at the moment.
"But what are these young lads going to think about Dundee United the way they were beaten?
"four-five nil, yeah great, but why carry on to nine?"
Host Gordon Duncan was baffled by the take, he questioned: "Sorry, so you mean that Celtic should have deliberately stopped scoring? "
Most read in Football
He replied: "Well, I wouldn’t say stop scoring but let Dundee United play.
"It’s a game of football is it not? Why score the nine goals and humiliate these young lads."
Sun Sport's Roger Hannah argued that Celtic's relentlessness will do them wonders if this season's title race goes down to the wire.
He said: "Well, Ange Postecoglou's phrase is 'we never stop'.
"And yesterday - they didn't stop!
"When it got to five, six or seven he sent on four substitutes - and they didn't stop.
"Come next May this might come down to goal difference this title.
"It sounds ludicrous at the end of August but we might be sitting here in May saying 'Well if Celtic only scored six they wouldn't have won the league'.
"So that's why they keep pushing."
Plenty of other fans were also left confused - Clyde themselves ran a poll asking if the caller had a point with his argument.
Almost 5000 people voted - to which 93% said absolutely not.
One added on social media: "Even as a Rangers fan I found this ridiculous!
"No team should ever ease up especially in a competition that could be decided on goal difference!"
Another said: "If that was Rangers I'd want them to be going for as many as possible. Strange viewpoint to have."

I hear more and more people lately complaining of reading slumps, an inability to concentrate and really sink into a book caused by—who knows? The lingering pandemic? TikTok? Climate dread? “I will read,” thinks the title character in Elizabeth Strout’s new novel, Lucy by the Sea, as she comes in from a walk. “But there was nothing I wanted to read. I could not read.”
I can recommend a cure for that, though it might be a bit strong for Lucy’s taste: A good old-fashioned Stephen King fantasy-horror epic. Happily, there’s a new specimen: Fairy Tale. Like its predecessors in the King canon—especially The Eyes of the Dragon, the Dark Tower series, and The Talisman (co-written with Peter Straub)—it’s sometimes grisly, sometimes tense, and sometimes a bit goofy. You’ll inhale Fairy Tale in big 100-page swathes without the slightest effort or strain, and you’ll be grateful that there are 600-plus pages of it to remind you several times over how much fun that kind of reading experience is.
The book’s alternate world combines Grimmian fairy-tale elements with Lovecraftian cosmic horror, but it takes a while to get there. The more of them I read, the more I appreciate King’s set-ups. His hero, high-school senior Charlie Reade, doesn’t begin his trek down the stone stairs spiraling underground in his neighbor’s backyard until about a quarter of the way through the book. Not for King the brisk dispensing of the mundane real world in favor of the thrilling vistas of Narnia or Wonderland. Instead, he first carefully builds a portrait of Charlie’s present-day life in the small Illinois town of Sentry’s Rest.
When Charlie, an only child, is 8, his mother goes out to pick up a fried chicken dinner for the family and is hit by a truck skidding on an icy bridge grating. His insurance-adjuster father drowns his grief in alcohol, and for a while Charlie himself goes wrong, palling around with a bad seed and engaging in destructive and occasionally cruel pranks. His father loses his job, the bills pile up, and Charlie begins to wonder if they’ll end up living in their car or under a highway overpass.
In desperation, the otherwise unchurched boy resorts to offering God a bargain to make his father stop drinking: “If you do that for me, whoever you are, I’ll do something for you.” Not long after, a fellow adjuster drops by the Reade household and persuades Charlie’s dad to come to an AA meeting. Charlie considers his father’s sobriety a “miracle,” and himself to be in debt. He volunteers for roadside clean-up and collects donations for UNICEF, but he can’t shake the feeling that this isn’t enough until, as a teenager, he discovers the reclusive old man who lives up the street lying at the bottom of a ladder with a broken leg.
Injecting the uncanny into the everyday is a Stephen King trademark—the quintessential examples of this are the creepy messages a ghost spells out with alphabet magnets on a refrigerator in 1998’s Bag of Bones. This isn’t that kind of King novel, however. Apart from some weird scrabbling noises emanating from old Mr. Bowditch’s tool shed, this section of the novel is devoted to Charlie’s relationship to his father and his growing friendship with the cranky geezer, a bond cemented by their shared love for Mr. Bowditch’s aging German shepherd, Radar. Some might call this a slow start for an adventure story, but it doesn’t drag a bit. Charlie is a good kid, but he’s all too aware of his capacity to behave otherwise. He quits the school baseball team to take care of Mr. Bowditch once the old man gets out of the hospital, but a not insignificant motivation for this is his desire to spend more time with Radar, who is nearing the end of her life.
When Charlie discovers that Mr. Bowditch has been hiding a portal to another world in that wood shed, the novel’s intentions come into focus. The kingdom of Empis, at the other end of a long tunnel filled with bats and the occasional oversized cockroach, is a realm of shoemaker’s cottages, goose girls, and big bad wolves you don’t want to run into at night. It’s a fairytale place, but one pointedly rooted in the older, darker, and more violent incarnations of the tales. Charlie finds many opportunities to reflect on how it clashes with the Disney versions, even as his brown hair becomes blonde, his brown eyes turn blue, and the locals begin to speak of him as the prince destined to save them from a terrible curse. There will be a dangerous quest in a haunted city, a beautiful exiled princess, man-eating giants, a stint in a dungeon policed by electrified skeleton soldiers, and a hideous being from yet another dimension intent on corrupting not only Empis but Charlie’s world as well.
The dedication of Fairy Tale reads “Thinking of REH, ERB, and, of course, HPL,” references which Charlie, a devoted reader of early 20th-century pulp fiction, would surely have no trouble identifying as Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan the Barbarian), Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan), and H.P. Lovecraft. If modern-day retellings of fairy tales can lack the earthiness of the originals, pulp adventure tales, while often enormous fun, aren’t typically concerned with emotional depth. But Fairy Tale supplies both fleshly human frailty and a fully functional heart. Its plot is driven not by its hero’s desire to seek his fortune, but by something as potent as a boy’s love for his dog.
That love is childlike and simple, and Charlie is willing to risk his life to save Radar. Any dog lover can understand Charlie’s extravagant devotion to a creature who adores him. It’s that love that draws him into Empis, but it’s Charlie’s love for his father, rich and complex, that brings him back. The attachment Charlie feels to his dad is partly the elemental bond between parent and child and partly the hard-won reward for what they have been through together and what they have done for each other. Neither boy nor man has any hesitation to express their feelings, since they both know all too well how suddenly those we love can be whisked away. The early pages King spends in portraying their relationship reverberate throughout the novel, deepening it.
There are times during Fairy Tale when Charlie is obliged to tap into “that dark well I’d discovered as a child, when my father seemed bent on honoring the memory of his wife, my mother, by crashing and burning and leaving us homeless. I had hated him for awhile and hated myself for hating.” Hate is as great a force in this novel as love, and it turns out to be the taproot of Empis’ curse. An abiding theme in King’s work is that every human being has the potential to do evil, and that only by acknowledging this and remaining vigilant against it can we hope to live moral lives. (Lovecraft, in a particular, was a writer who never confronted his own propensity for hatred, and his work is the worse for it.) But hatred is also a kind of power, especially for a storyteller, and King had me madly hungering for the moment when his novel’s eminently loathsome villains got their comeuppance.
Good, evil, a kingdom to save, monsters to slay—these are the stuff that page-turners are made from. The strokes are broader and more crowd-pleasing than in such recent major King works as The Institute, a novel in part about how people convince themselves that worthwhile ends justify unspeakable means. And it’s not essentially a crime or detective novel like Billy Summers or his Holly Gibney books. Fairy Tale is both sweeping and self-contained, comic and scary, touching and bleak. By the end of the novel, Charlie must make a decision as inevitable as it is painful. It’s the right thing to do, but he knows that only because he understands now just how easy it is to do wrong. | https://slate.com/culture/2022/08/stephen-king-fairy-tale-book-2022-novel-review.html?via=rss | 2022-08-30T19:08:21Z | https://slate.com/culture/2022/08/stephen-king-fairy-tale-book-2022-novel-review.html?via=rss | true | 1 |
MADRID (AP) — Gibraltar authorities said Tuesday that a cargo ship has been beached to prevent it from sinking after it collided with a liquefied natural gas carrier in the bay of Gibraltar.
A government spokesman said that the situation was under control and the ship was not in danger. He said there had been no environmental impact so far. The government said booms had been placed in the area to contain any possible fuel seepage.
No one was injured in the collision. The crew of the cargo ship — the 178-meter (584-foot), Tuvalu-registered OS 35 — remains on board.
The spokesman, who was not authorized to be named, said they had no reports of damage to the LNG carrier.
He said the cargo vessel was resting on the seabed in 17 meters (56 feet) of water close to the coast with no damage to the hull. The ship was carrying steel bars.
The Gibraltar government set they had set up a 200-meter exclusion zone around the stricken ship but that Gibraltar port had reopened and was functioning as normal.
Gibraltar, a British territory located on southern tip of the Iberian peninsula, is a busy shipping port. | https://myfox8.com/international/ap-international/ap-cargo-ship-beached-after-colliding-with-ship-in-gibraltar/ | 2022-08-30T19:08:51Z | https://myfox8.com/international/ap-international/ap-cargo-ship-beached-after-colliding-with-ship-in-gibraltar/ | true | 38 |
On the evening of August 20, Russian TV pundit and conspiracy theorist Darya Dugina was killed on the outskirts of Moscow when a powerful explosion ripped apart her Toyota Land Cruiser. Dugina was a vocal supporter of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the daughter of fascist philosopher and writer Alexander Dugin, nicknamed “Putin’s brain” thanks to his perceived ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin. According to Russian authorities, a remote-controlled “explosive device,” presumably installed in her car, went off at around 9 pm local time.
News of Dugina’s assassination spread like wildfire through social media, most notably on the instant messaging service Telegram, where it was shared approvingly by a vast network of Russian and Ukrainian channels. But in the hours that followed, it became clear that one channel, operated by the media outlet Utro Fevralya, or February Morning, is more than just a place to share the news. It aims to play a key role in the story.
Created by exiled former Russian MP and dissident Ilya Ponomarev, February Morning was the first to report on a group claiming responsibility for Dugina’s death. Ponomarev himself took to YouTube, where February Morning airs its shows, claiming that the perpetrators were a little-known Russian resistance group called the National Republican Army. According to Ponomarev, an all-out war against “Putinism” had just begun.
While the National Republican Army’s involvement remains unconfirmed, Ponomarev’s announcement crystallized February Morning’s role as the center of gravity of a growing guerilla movement to spark revolution in Russia. The movement’s ecosystem includes activists and saboteurs of all types, from anarchists to fascists, connected through a network of Telegram channels and a singular goal: overthrowing Vladimir Putin.
Making history
On a sun-drenched balcony overlooking a busy street in downtown Kyiv, 48-year-old Evgeni Lesnoy smokes a final cigarette before going back on the air. The seasoned journalist is one of the faces of February Morning, which he joined shortly after its creation following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in the early hours of February 24. “Because of my friends and relatives who stayed in Russia, I had been closely following the events there prior to February 24,” Lesnoy says in Russian. After his outspoken condemnation of the war in Donbas and the annexation of Crimea cost him his friends and, ultimately, his job, the journalist left Russia for Ukraine in 2015 and has been living with his husband in Kyiv ever since.
“When I was told that this project existed, I figured that this is where I needed to be,” he says, gesturing toward the TV studio in the next room. “Because I understand the context of what is happening inside Russia: I was born there, and I understand how people there think.”
Ponomarev, February Morning’s founder, is the only member of the Russian Duma to have voted against the 2014 annexation of Crimea. After the vote, he became persona non grata in Putin’s Russia, so he and his family fled to Ukraine’s capital city and started a new life. “For quite a long time, I had wanted to create a media aimed at a Russian audience, and that would broadcast from Kyiv,” he tells WIRED over Signal. “I tried to raise money for what I thought would be a Russian-language Al-Jazeera for maybe a year.” The venture was unsuccessful. But when Russian tanks crossed into Ukraine, the former MP and father of two joined the Territorial Defense in Kyiv, and the project took on new urgency. “After the first couple of days, many of my friends started telling me that now might be the time to revisit the idea of a media targeting Russians.”
The living room of the 18th-century apartment in which February Morning has taken residence is home to its television studio with a semicircular stage lit with a bluish light. Two screens broadcast in the background. When presenting the day’s show, Lesnoy sits before a small table draped with a white and blue tricolor flag—the symbol of the Russian opposition to the invasion—and that of Ukraine.
Broadcast on YouTube, the professionally produced daily programs try to counter the official Russian narrative surrounding the war, reporting on the atrocities committed by the “occupiers” against the Ukrainian population. “Putin’s supporters and apologists have big media organizations and prime-time news shows,'' says Lesnoy. “We want to give a voice to those who oppose the war.” | https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/08/the-telegram-powered-news-outlet-waging-guerilla-war-on-russia/ | 2022-08-30T19:10:09Z | https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/08/the-telegram-powered-news-outlet-waging-guerilla-war-on-russia/ | false | 1 |

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama corrections officials apparently botched an inmate’s execution last month, an anti-death penalty group alleges, citing the length of time that passed before the prisoner received the lethal injection and a private autopsy indicating his arm may have been cut to find a vein.
Joe Nathan James Jr. was put to death July 28 at an Alabama prison for the 1994 shooting death of his former girlfriend. The execution was carried out more than three hours after the U.S. Supreme Court denied a request for a stay.
“Subjecting a prisoner to three hours of pain and suffering is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment,” Maya Foa, director of Reprieve US Forensic Justice Initiative, a human rights group that opposes the death penalty, said in a statement. “States cannot continue to pretend that the abhorrent practice of lethal injection is in any way humane.”
The Alabama Department of Forensic Science declined a request to release the state’s autopsy of James, citing an ongoing review that happens after every execution. Officials have not responded to requests for comment on the private autopsy, which was first reported by The Atlantic.
At the time of the execution, Alabama Corrections Commissioner John Hamm told reporters that “nothing out of the ordinary” happened. Hamm said he wasn’t aware of the prisoner fighting or resisting officers. The state later acknowledged that the execution was delayed because of difficulties establishing an intravenous line, but did not specify how long it took.
Dr. Joel Zivot, a professor of anesthesiology at Emory University and an expert on lethal injection who witnessed the private autopsy, said it looked like there were numerous attempts to connect a line.
Zivot said he saw “multiple puncture sites on both arms” and two perpendicular incisions, each about 3 to 4 centimeters (1 to 1.5 inches) in length, in the middle of the arm, which he said indicated that officials had attempted to perform a “cutdown,” a procedure in which the skin is opened to allow a visual search for a vein. He said the cutdown is an old-style medical intervention rarely performed in modern medical settings, and that it would be painful without anesthesia. He also said he saw evidence of intramuscular injections not in the vicinity of a vein.
The Alabama Department of Corrections prison system issued a written statement in which it noted that “protocol states that if the veins are such that intravenous access cannot be provided, the team will perform a central line procedure,” which involves placing a catheter in a large vein. “Fortunately, this was not necessary and with adequate time, intravenous access was established,” the statement said.
Alabama does not allow witnesses from news outlets to watch the preparations for a lethal injection. They get their first glimpse of the execution chamber when an inmate is already strapped to the gurney with the IV line connected.
A reporter for The Associated Press who attended the execution observed that James did not respond when the warden asked if he had final words. His eyes remained closed except for briefly fluttering at one point early in the procedure.
Lawyers who spoke with James by telephone said they were disturbed by his reported lack of movements and raised questions about what happened before the lethal injection. Hamm said James was not sedated.
“That wasn’t the Joe that I knew. He always had something to say. He always wanted to be in control,” said James Ranson, the attorney who helped James file his appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court. “The fact that he did not give any sort of reaction … and that he didn’t open his eyes, tells me something was up,” Ranson said.
John Palombi, a federal defender who spoke with James twice on the day of his execution, said James, “was certainly alert” earlier in the day.
The Atlantic quoted a friend of James as saying that the inmate had planned to make a final statement.
Robert Dunham, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, a national nonprofit organization that analyzes issues concerning capital punishment, said the delay between the Supreme Court’s go-ahead and the execution, combined with the autopsy, points to a “botched execution, and it is among the worst botches in the modern history of the U.S. death penalty.”
“This execution is Exhibit A as to why execution secrecy laws are intolerable,” Dunham wrote in an email to the AP. “The public is entitled to know what went on here — and what goes on in all Alabama executions — from the instant the execution team begins the process of physically preparing the prisoner for the lethal injection until the moment the prisoner dies.” | https://myfox8.com/news/national/ap-us-news/ap-alabama-mans-execution-was-botched-advocacy-group-alleges/ | 2022-08-30T19:13:05Z | https://myfox8.com/news/national/ap-us-news/ap-alabama-mans-execution-was-botched-advocacy-group-alleges/ | true | 36 |
LISBON, Aug 30 (Reuters) – Angola’s main opposition party has submitted a legal complaint challenging the electoral commission’s finding that the governing party won last week’s election, a letter seen by Reuters shows.
In a separate statement on Tuesday, the opposition party, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), said it would file a complaint that would have the effect of suspending the declaration of results of the vote.
It was not immediately clear whether UNITA’s letter to the commission, sent on Monday, was the same complaint.
After the most closely fought election since independence from Portugal in 1975, the commission reported on Monday that 51.17% of voters had supported the ex-Marxist People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), prolonging its nearly five decades of uninterrupted rule.
UNITA, its longtime opponent, got 43.95%, its best result ever, according to the commission. Read full story
UNITA’s letter says the party’s representative at the commission “was not granted the right to record in the result sheet his complaint about the electoral results”.
The leader of UNITA, Adalberto Costa Junior, has repeatedly said in the past few days that he does not recognise the results of the vote and that complaints have been filed.
“UNITA reiterates that it will not recognise the results announced by the National Electoral Commission until the complaints already in its possession are resolved,” the party said in its Tuesday statement.
Under Angola’s rules, if UNITA wishes to challenge the results it must first lodge a complaint with the commission. If that is rejected, the party can take the matter to the Constitutional Court, which must rule within 72 hours.

Lil Pump Faces Backlash For Making Fun Of Russ Over Mental Health Break
By Tony M. Centeno
August 30, 2022
Russ felt the need to cancel his upcoming European tour due to mental health reasons. While some fans understood his plight, Lil Pump offered him no mercy.
On Sunday, August 28, Russ announced that he's cancelling his scheduled headlining European tour. In his lengthy statement, the "Best On Earth" rapper admitted something happened within his family recently that "led to some extremely lonely and empty realizations."
""I have to cancel the European tour," he said. "I could make up excuses so that I don't lose money but the reality is mentally I feel like s**t."
"In the last 24 hours s**t happened that has led to some extremely lonely and empty realizations about things in my family life that have me head feeling like it's gonna burst," he continued.
The post came shortly after Russ posted several photos of him on a "pre-tour vacation" during which he was seen jet-skiing, snapping photos with fans and other fun activities. Nonetheless, Russ received plenty of support from artists like Blxst, Nicki Minaj and more. While other fans may have been confused by the sudden cancellation, Lil Pump fired back with his thoughts on the situation.
"You think you got mental health issues?" Pump said in a video posted to his Instagram Story. "I'm from Dade County, b***h. I was born with mental health issues. How 'bout you deal with it and stop being a f**king p***y."
"You know damn well who I'm talking to, boy," he continued in his next post. "Your ass just canceled a whole Europe tour, b***h. Stop f**king canceling s**t. Hop on that f**king plane and go do your shows, you f**king p***y."
For the unfamiliar, Pump and Russ have never truly seen eye-to-eye. Both rappers have traded numerous shots online over back-and-forth the years. Back in 2020, Russ called out Pump over his political views after the rapper was seen campaigning with former President Donald Trump.
Once Pump's response hit the Internet, social media users began to question why the Harverd Dropout rapper would make fun of someone's mental health issues. Even The Breakfast Club's Charlamagne Tha God gave Lil Pump Donkey of the Day for his reaction to Russ' decision. See what Uncle Charla had to say about the situation below. | https://www.iheart.com/content/2022-08-30-lil-pump-faces-backlash-for-making-fun-of-russ-over-mental-health-break/ | 2022-08-30T19:16:29Z | https://www.iheart.com/content/2022-08-30-lil-pump-faces-backlash-for-making-fun-of-russ-over-mental-health-break/ | true | 2 |

Lions cut former 1st-round pick
Jarrad Davis will be looking for a new team. The Detroit Lions are cutting Davis, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported on Monday. Davis was the No. 21 overall pick by Detroit in 2017. The Florida product did not live up this billing as a first-round pick during his four seasons with the Lions from 2017-2020. They declined to pick up his fifth-year option, so he signed with the Jets for the 2021 season.

3 officers hospitalized for suspected secondary drug exposure after arresting man on narcotics, police say
SUNSET BEACH, N.C. (WECT/Gray News) – Three police officers in North Carolina were hospitalized for suspected secondary drug exposure on Sunday after encountering the same man.
According to the Sunset Beach Police Department, the officers were exposed to narcotics during an arrest.
Police responded to a call for two people reportedly under the influence of drugs. The two people were arrested for felony drug possession, but suddenly, one of the officers began to feel sick.
An ambulance rushed the officer to the hospital for suspected secondary narcotics exposure.
One of the people who was arrested was also taken to the hospital for treatment. Once he was released, a second officer drove the man from the hospital to the jail.
While en route, the officer began to feel sick and called for assistance. That officer was also taken to the hospital via ambulance for suspected secondary drug exposure.
A third officer then picked up the man and brought him to the Brunswick County Detention Center, but after dropping him off, that officer also began to feel sick and was taken to the hospital.
Sunset Beach police said all three officers have been released from the hospital.
Teams in hazmat suits sealed the drugs to be moved. The State Bureau of Investigation will test the drugs to find out what they are.

Embassy Suites in Dorado inaugurates $14M Blue Dolphin casino
The Embassy Suites by Hilton, located in Dorado, recently inaugurated its Blue Dolphin Casino at the Dorado del Mar Club, representing the return of this type of entertainment venue to the property, which had a casino that closed in 2019.
The new casino features more than 175 slot machines, electronic and traditional roulettes, and other gaming tables, Blue Dolphin Director Erick Rodríguez confirmed.
The Blue Dolphin will generate about 130 new direct and another 200 indirect jobs, hotel officials said.
The gaming facility is associated with the Embassy Suites by Hilton at Dorado del Mar Beach Resort and the Dorado del Mar Club, which will have a golf course, bowling alley, go-kart track, laser tag game center, a gaming arena, restaurants, and other entertainment options.
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Eduardo Artau — one of the members of the local family of investors that bought the 174-room property in 2019 — said the bowling alley and other children’s entertainment areas will likely open by year’s end.
“When we purchased this property, one of the first things I saw was that people who came to the hotel had nowhere to go,” Artau said, flanked by Dorado Mayor Carlos López.
“They would go to the beach, and the pool, but some people complained that they had to get in a car and go to the San Juan metro area. So, we began to look at what we had to create so those who came here, would be comfortable,” he said.
That was when the task of rebuilding the casino and adding other amenities took off, he said. In all, the owners will invest another $10 million in the other areas, which should open next year.
The Blue Dolphin Casino at Dorado del Mar Beach Resort joins the tourist conglomerate of the Artau-Feliciano family known as the Costa Bahía Hospitality Collection, which includes the Costa Bahía Hotel and Convention Center at Guayanilla, the Costa Bahía Urban Hotel at Paseo Caribe, the Aquarius Vacation Club at Dorado del Mar Beach Resort, the Aquarius Vacation Club at Boquerón Beach Resort, and the Blue Dolphin Casino at Costa Bahía Hotel and Convention Center at Guayanilla.
The new casino is the 18th gaming facility of its kind operating inside a hotel in Puerto Rico, which generated a combined $326 million for the government’s coffers last year. The money is split among the University of Puerto Rico, the government’s General Fund and the Puerto Rico Tourism Co. | https://newsismybusiness.com/embassy-suites-in-dorado-inaugurates-14m-blue-dolphin-casino/ | 2022-08-30T19:20:14Z | https://newsismybusiness.com/embassy-suites-in-dorado-inaugurates-14m-blue-dolphin-casino/ | false | 1 |

LIVE updates as Doncaster Rovers take on Newcastle United under-21s
A youthful Doncaster Rovers side will take on Newcastle Under-21s at the Eco-Power Stadium tonight as the Papa Johns Trophy group stage gets under way.
Rovers boss Gary McSheffrey has pledged to make plenty of changes for this evening’s fixture while staying within the rules of the competition, which state EFL clubs must field at least four outfield ‘qualifying players’.
That essentially means first-team regulars, so expect to see several familiar faces as well as development players and youth team prospects.
Scroll down for live updates.
Doncaster Rovers v Newcastle United Under-21s LIVE
Last updated: Tuesday, 30 August, 2022, 20:11
Key Events
- Rovers to make numerous changes for first game of Papa Johns Trophy group stage
- The young Magpies are one of 16 Category One academies invited to enter an under-21 side into this season’s competition
- Newcastle’s youngsters made the last-16 of the EFL Trophy in 2018/19
Chance for Rovers
Tavonga Kuleya should score. Kyle Hurst hangs a cross up at the far post but the winger can’t find his feet and apply the finish and ends up flapping at it. That’s his third chance of the night.
Hurst making an impact
He goes on a darting run and finds Jack Raper out wide before taking a shot on from distance which goes over. A really exciting player to watch when he’s driving forward with the ball.
Triple change for Doncaster
Luke Molyneux, Kyle Hurst and Jack Raper are on for Jon Taylor, Jack Goodman and Jack Degruchy.
Taylor was always going to play 45 minutes. Fair to say Degruchy struggled in the first half. Goodman started well but faded a little, although looks like a decent young talent.
Far from a classic. Newcastle have been the better side in the first period and Jones has to be on guard to tip a dipping effort over his bar.
Expect at least one Doncaster change at the break with Taylor coming off. The winger has been one of their brighter sparks.
Good save from Louis Jones
Kyle Crossley takes a shot on from outside the box but the Rovers keeper is equal to it and palms the ball to safety.
One minute added on.
Better from Doncaster
Charlie Seaman breaks down the right-hand side and sends a good delivery into the six-yard box, which is diverted behind for a corner.
Jack Degruchy plays it short to Tavonga Kuleya, who finds James Maxwell. The Scot takes on two players and gets into the box but his delivery is too high for a teammate to connect.
Audacious effort
Joe White, who spent last season on loan at Hartlepool United, tries to beat Louis Jones with a dipping effort from 40 yards, but it goes over the bar.
More sloppy play on the ball from Doncaster led to that chance as they gave the ball away twice in the space of seconds.
Newcastle in control
The visitors have grown in confidence and are seeing more of the ball. They’ve got more fluency in possession than this much-changed Rovers XI but in truth neither side has created a clear-cut chance yet. | https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/football/live-updates-as-doncaster-rovers-take-on-newcastle-united-under-21s-3824674 | 2022-08-30T19:23:22Z | https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/football/live-updates-as-doncaster-rovers-take-on-newcastle-united-under-21s-3824674 | false | 1 |
ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. pet industry--long famous for recession-resistant growth and often (though not recently) a darling of Wall Street – posted its most significant growth ever in 2021.
Moreover, as reported in Packaged Facts' just-released U.S. Pet Market Focus: Pet Stores & Pet Specialty Retailing, sales of pet specialty retailers and e-tailers topped $31 billion, with a 18% growth rate surpassing that of the pet and vet industry overall.
It's not all smooth sailing, of course. Inflation remains a primary concern across consumer goods markets, with a range of factors combining into the perfect storm of economic pressures. "Manufacturers across the pet market have slowly increased their prices," according to report analyst Shannon Brown, "spurred by challenges in acquiring ingredients, packaging materials, and a host of other items that go into making and selling pet products."
Fueling inflation are supply chain issues that began with the 2020 COVID-19 shutdowns, though have since been compounded by surging consumer spending, additional shipping delays, overcrowded warehouses, and shortages of both shipping containers and long-haul truck drivers.
Pet product marketers must contend with demand for ingredients that are increasingly difficult to acquire. At times, store shelves remain unfilled and force pet owners to pay more for or to purchase different products or brands than they typically would, a challenge that can disproportionately affect key pet product growth areas such as "fresh" (refrigerated/frozen) pet food.
U.S. pet owners and pet product shoppers are well aware of the shifting landscape, as comparing Packaged Facts' 2021 Survey of Pet Owners with this year's iteration shows. For example, 59% report spending more on pet products than they used to, up from 45% in 2021, and 45% are spending more on pet products and attributing it directly to COVID-19, up from 34% in 2021.
Even so, pet specialty retailers and e-tailers maintain a strong hand. The pet specialty market saw a flurry of activity between 2020 and 2022, with Chewy approaching $10 billion in annual sales, PetSmart's $2.4 billion bond deal, and Petco's IPO. And there are several high-performing franchises among brick-and-mortar pet specialty retailers, including the recently acquired Pet Supplies Plus and Woof Gang Bakery chains.
In-store services have become critical to pet specialty retailers' success in competing with Amazon and mass-market brick-and-mortar stores (though Walmart is also flying the pet services flag). Grooming and boarding services feature prominently among pet specialty retailer marketing messages, as do veterinary care and the new dog training particularly important to Millennials.
Moreover, store brand products have long been a strength of the pet store channel, with the key pet specialty retailers expanding their private label offerings in the past few years. As recessionary conditions put pricing pressure on all pet categories, store-brand products are well-positioned to leverage their status as premium and on-trend yet affordable options, especially in the kingpin pet food category.
Packaged Facts, a division of MarketResearch.com, publishes market intelligence on a wide range of consumer market topics, including consumer demographics and shopper insights, consumer financial products and services, consumer goods and retailing, and pet products and services.

Coronavirus and Hikes in Online Shopping Increases the Need for HGV Drivers
The global economy has had a major overhaul in recent years, and this is in direct response to the Coronavirus pandemic. While we are all aware of the effects Covid 19 has had on a more individualised level, and have been making changes to accommodate a new normal, businesses, sectors and even entire industries have been working hard to meet the needs of a whole new consumer environment.
One of the most prominent sectors seeing change at the height of the pandemic and onwards is haulage, and HGV drivers are becoming increasingly sought-after.
Why has demand for HGV drivers increased?
The retail sector has seen a surge in online shopping. As an area that was already gaining in popularity, it quickly became a necessity for many who were trying to find solutions to the difficulties posed by traditional shopping processes (like social distancing, lockdowns, rapid testing, etc).
As distribution chains and the processes of home delivery have had to adapt to meet demand, HGV driving roles have increased exponentially.
What does this upsurge in jobs mean for skilled vehicle operators?
Where tech industries have been paving the way for new and innovative products and services at their own pace, the haulage industry has been galvanised by the pandemic to boost the productivity of their delivery and goods transport drivers.
Instead of having a negative impact, there has been a host of benefits for these skilled workers to enjoy. Some of these are:
- More relaxed hours (so drivers can work longer/increase workloads without restriction)
- Less-strict training protocols and demands for potential employees to meet
- More job security
- Better pay rates than ever before
- Different job types and high employment rates
- Flexible working conditions for different drivers/roles
- Affordable training options in a worthwhile industry
- Self employment capabilities
- An increase in inclusion for women drivers
The potential for significant earnings
When the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic and an increase in demand for HGV drivers are considered, the potential for pay has to be discussed. The typical starting salary just a few years ago was nearing £20k, but the growing necessity for HGV drivers has seen this number rise to £30k-£40k. There are also incentives and bonuses for many roles within the industry, so it can be even more lucrative for those with the skills (and those considering training).
Obtaining an HGV licence
The great news is that HGV Driver training is one of the most worthwhile endeavours right now, and there’s never been a better time to get involved. There are also quite a few different roles that can be applied for, such as:
- HGV multi drop
- Home delivery driver
- HGV short haul
- HGV long haul
- Driver’s mate
- HGV city driving
- HGV single drop
- HGV 5 on 3 off
- HGV local
- HGV continental
- HGV ADR
Home delivery drivers will typically need a full HGV licence, but to operate any other heavy goods vehicle, a minimum of a CAT C1/CAT C is typically required. | https://www.newsanyway.com/2022/08/30/coronavirus-and-hikes-in-online-shopping-increases-the-need-for-hgv-drivers/ | 2022-08-30T19:24:48Z | https://www.newsanyway.com/2022/08/30/coronavirus-and-hikes-in-online-shopping-increases-the-need-for-hgv-drivers/ | false | 1 |

17 Charming Throwback Photos of Cameron Diaz
Since her role as a beguiling jazz singer in 1994’s The Mask, our love for Cameron Diaz has never wavered. Starring in classics like There’s Something About Mary, My Best Friend’s Wedding, and Charlie’s Angels, the queen of the American rom-com made her charming smile a hallmark—and when she ventured into drama, appearing in projects like Vanilla Sky, Being John Malkovitch, In Her Shoes, and Gangs of New York, she had us all captivated. At 50 years old, she is now a mother who takes pride in her age and life experience. After stepping away from acting for several years to focus on her family, she will soon return to the screen in a new Netflix film co-starring Jamie Foxx called Back in Action.
Here, in honor of her birthday, take a look back at the coolest shots of Cameron Diaz from her early days in Hollywood. | https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/17-throwback-photos-cameron-diaz-birthday | 2022-08-30T19:30:17Z | https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/17-throwback-photos-cameron-diaz-birthday | true | 2 |
Tatiana Calderón returned to FIA Formula 2 for the first time since 2019, joining the Charouz Racing System team in Spa-Francorchamps.
The Colombian driver had been competing in the NTT IndyCar Series, but her season was cut short, leaving her without a drive. In the week leading up to the Belgian Grand Prix Calderón announced that she would be rejoining the grid for the four remaining rounds of the 2022 F2 season.
Friday saw the action kick off and Calderón completed a trouble free practice, despite a number of red flags throughout the session. While the session was shortened, she managed to adjust to the 18-inch wheels, with this weekend being the first time she had driven the car with the new wheels.
Qualifying saw her struggle on soft compound tyres at the start of the session along with having to abort a fast lap. The result saw her line up on the grid in twenty-first for both races.
With Jehan Daravala unable to take the start of the sprint race, Calderón gained a position before the lights had gone out. Off of the line she battled with Juri Vips and Amaury Cordeel, this would set the tone for the race as Cordeel fought back. Calderón crossed the line in twentieth place before being promoted to nineteenth after Lirim Zendeli picked up a five-second time penalty.
The feature race would prove more promising for the Colombian, making up three places through the race to finish in eighteenth place.
“Overall I’m super happy to be back in F2, thanks again to Karol G, to AVL and to everyone that has supported me to make this return possible. After a couple of months in a difficult situation in IndyCar it was great to be back racing, even if it was very clear that this was set to be a challenging weekend.
“It was my first time with the 18-inch tyres, this car and also with the team in a long while. I think we did a decent job and I learnt a lot during both races. We had a bit of degradation on the rear tyres, more than what we were expecting. But we had good pace at times compared to my team-mate Enzo, so that’s encouraging looking ahead to the next two rounds.
“I want to thank the team for their warm welcome – Spa is always a special place in many ways for me so I’m happy to be back and looking forward to the next two weekends.“ | https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2022/08/calderon-happy-to-be-back-in-f2-with-spa-francorchamps-return/ | 2022-08-30T19:31:11Z | https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2022/08/calderon-happy-to-be-back-in-f2-with-spa-francorchamps-return/ | false | 1 |

Suddenly two teenagers at the Borders checkout line with a giant stack of CD's. Incomplete sale. : (In 2001, someone broke into the outgoing mail at my apartment complex and used the checks to create fake checks. Someone drained $2,000 from my account and then put it $2,000 in the red before SunTrust gave me a call. These people had made fake checks what looked like payroll checks. They were ridiculously fake looking. 20 different businesses took these roughly $200 a piece checks.SunTrust gave me all the money back and then helped me get affadavits for bill collectors who eventually came calling. They all talk this hardass spiel for 5 minutes and then you say "I'm sending you an affadavit" and they say "OK" and never call you again. They then sell that debt for pennies on the dollar to someone else and the cycle continues. It took about 5 years for the calls to stop. It started with companies like Telecheck and ended up at Smitty's Bill Collectors. Just went down the debt collection food chain.

Fans are all saying the same thing about Southampton’s pitch for Premier League clash at home to Chelsea
FOOTBALL supporters cannot believe the state of Southampton's pitch as they took to Twitter to ridicule the turf.
Ralph Hasenhuttl's side welcomed Chelsea to St Mary's on Tuesday night, but the quality of the play wasn't what sent social media into a meltdown.
Forget Raheem Sterling's 23rd minute opener or Romeo Lavia's incredible equaliser.
Twitter users went crazy over the south coast side's pitch.
Fans couldn't take their eyes off of the poor quality, with Sky Sports pundit Michael Dawson claiming it "has a disease".
One supporter posted: "How is Southampton’s pitch so bad at this time of the year?"

Another quipped: "Southampton’s pitch is suffering from disease and it’s in worse state than a grass field in Buffalo during the month of May."
A third added: "I like that the St Mary's pitch is disease-ridden. Hopefully ties into the notion that Southampton 'is a tough place to go'."
This fan then remarked: "I don't think I have ever seen a pitch in worse condition in August than Southampton."
One then commented: "That pitch at Southampton looks in bad shape. What’s the problem."

Another messaged: "How is Southampton's pitch so bad when we're still in summer? Should be a fine.
This person then said: "What is up with the Southampton pitch? Looks so poorly treated."
Meanwhile one simply stated: "That Southampton pitch is rank."
And another blasted: "The state of Southampton’s pitch is criminal." | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/9331625/southampton-pitch-chelsea-st-marys/ | 2022-08-30T19:33:36Z | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/9331625/southampton-pitch-chelsea-st-marys/ | false | 4 |
Superintendent Beck gets salary adjustment for doctoral achievement
SPARTA. His annual salary increase will go from 3% to 4%.
The Sparta Township Board of Education on August 25 approved an amendment to Superintendent Matthew Beck’s contract increasing the annual salary by 1% retroactive to July 1, 2022.
Beck’s contract, which runs through June 30, 2024, originally called for Beck to receive annual 3% increases after the contract’s first year, which concluded on June 30, 2022. The amendment acknowledges that Beck recently achieved a doctoral degree and increases his annual increase to 4%. He will receive another 4% increase on July 1, 2023.
All other provisions of the contract remain unchanged.
The amendment passed 6-1-1. Board of Education member Lauren Collier voted against it and school board President Craig Palleschi abstained because his wife is a substitute teacher in the district.
Sparta resident Walter Knapp said he believed increasing Beck’s raise was premature because he had only been with the district for one year, and there continues to be room for growth.
Another Sparta resident, Leanne Pitzer, acknowledged Beck’s obtaining his doctorate was a “great accomplishment,” but questioned how it was fair to teachers who only get a 2.8% raise, after an “arduous negotiation period.” | https://www.spartaindependent.com/news/local-news/superintendent-beck-gets-salary-adjustment-for-doctoral-achievement-EI2192565 | 2022-08-30T19:35:46Z | https://www.spartaindependent.com/news/local-news/superintendent-beck-gets-salary-adjustment-for-doctoral-achievement-EI2192565 | true | 1 |
