Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly split from his model girlfriend Camila Morrone, bringing an end to their seven year relationship.
The 47-year-old Hollywood A-lister apparently grew apart from Camila, 25, over the summer and they have gone their separate ways amicably.
Fans speculated the break up came after the model turned 25.
DiCaprio hasn’t previously publicly dated a woman over that age.
When he dated Gisele Bundchen and Bar Refaeli, as well as actress Blake Lively, none of them was over the age of 25 when they were together.
Before their reported split, Camila hit back when questioned about the couple’s 22-year age gap after years of being trolled.
“There are so many relationships in Hollywood, and in the history of the world, where people have large age gaps,” she said.
“I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date.”
Throughout his acting career, DiCaprio has built a reputation as a Hollywood lothario while building a fortune of £223 million.
The age gaps of his girlfriends were once the subject of Ricky Gervais joke at the Golden Globes.
The comedian was speaking about Quentin Tarantino's film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at the 2020 ceremony.
“[It’s] almost three hours long – it’s an epic,” he said, adding: “Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere and by the end, his date was too old for him.”
The actor who was in the audience was left in hysterics.
Leonardo's love life - in focus
DiCaprio dated Gisele Bundchen for five years until 2005, when she turned 25.
He then turned his attentions to Bar Refaeli, dating her for the same length of time as Gisele, until their relationship came to an end in 2009, when she was 25.
DiCaprio's relationship with Blake Lively came lasted just five months, with them splitting while she was still 23.
Model Erin Heatherton was his next girlfriend, with them finishing when she was 22.
He then moved on to actress Toni Garrn, who he dated for a year, before they came to an end while she was 21.
In 2016, Leo dated Kelly Rohrbach but they finished when she turned 25 before he moved on to Danish model Nina Agdal, with their relationship also coming to an end when she hit 25.

Thaddeus Moss Released By Bengals: NFL World Reacts
Thaddeus Moss spent last season with the Cincinnati Bengals, but the former LSU standout could not crack the team's 53-man roster this year.
Moss was one of the players cut by the defending AFC champions before Tuesday's roster deadline. Cincinnati also cut tight ends Nick Eubanks and Justin Rigg, leaving Hayden Hurst, Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox remaining at the position.
Moss has been hampered by injuries in the NFL, and has yet to appear in a regular season game. His biggest moment this summer was his controversial block on New York Giants rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux, which resulted in Thibodeaux injuring his knee and spurred endless debate over whether or not it was a dirty hit.
Not shockingly, there are plenty of Giants fans who are not exactly unhappy that Moss was let go today.
Other reactions to the news can be found below.
Moss, 24, will probably find himself on an NFL practice squad shortly, either in Cincinnati or elsewhere. | https://thespun.com/nfl/afc-north/cincinnati-bengals/thaddeus-moss-released-by-bengals-nfl-world-reacts | 2022-08-30T22:37:10Z | https://thespun.com/nfl/afc-north/cincinnati-bengals/thaddeus-moss-released-by-bengals-nfl-world-reacts | false | 1 |

On Monday, millions of fans around the world tuned in to watch Serena Williams play in what will most likely be the last US Open tournament of her historic career.
The GOAT snagged a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Danka Kovinić in the first round of the US Open in style. Williams, 42, rocked a flowing black tennis leotard that featured shimmering detail as she delivered one powerful serve after another during the competition. The superstar wore Black glittery Nike tennis shoes along with the fashionable athletic look.
A list of star-studded celebs were in the stands at Arthur Ashe Stadium rallying Williams during the historical moment, including boxing champion Mike Tyson and his wife Lakiha Spicer.
On Aug. 31, Williams will play in open doubles with her sister Venus. She will also face off Anett Kontaveit of Estonia in the singles round of 64. Hopefully, the champ will walk away from the tournament with her 7th US Open trophy, but if not, she certainly does not have anything left to prove.
Williams said she might someday return to the sport during her post-match press conference.
“I’m going to stay vague because you never know,” she told reporters, according to CNN. But before heading to the court, the tennis star shared that her decision to retire was a difficult one to make.
“I think when you’re passionate about something, and you love something so much, it’s always hard to walk away,” she said. “Sometimes I think it’s hard to walk away than to not. That’s been the case for me.”
As for her future plans, Williams said she’s looking forward to spending time with her daughter. “I look forward to waking up and just being like, OK, I don’t have to run to the court today. I look forward to just being a mom. She’s such a good girl. I just want to be a good mom to her,” she added.

Andrew Bird Shares Multi-Language Lyric Video For ‘Make A Picture’
Bird initially unveiled a video for the track starring a bevy of cats.
Andrew Bird has shared a new video for “Make a Picture,” illustrating the lyrics’ imagery and inventive turns of phrase in English, French, Japanese, Spanish, and more.
In recent weeks, the song has been performed on CBS Saturday Morning, NPR Music’s Tiny Desk, and sold-out venues across Bird’s sweeping Outside Problems tour this summer, quickly emerging as one of the many standouts from his latest album Inside Problems, out now on Loma Vista Recordings.
“Make a Picture” was previously accompanied by an eccentric and cinematic, cat-filled music video that captured Bird in the midst of a photoshoot with a pack of felines, and in between shifts at a hospital desk. “‘Make a Picture’ is about digesting images from historic events and constituting a narrative for your memory,” he said. “‘Tell us what you think you saw. Make a picture.’ We saw a lot of horror and darkness and a lot of inspiring bravery. So, what’s the story we tell after digesting? What’s the synapses’ synopsis?”
Following a continuation of the Outside Problems tour this fall, co-headlined with Iron & Wine, Andrew Bird will head back to his native Chicago for his beloved Gezelligheid shows. Taking place in-person at the city’s Fourth Presbyterian Church for the first time in three years, the annual tradition of holiday concerts has been extended to seven nights due to incredible demand. Tickets for the December residency are on-sale now.
While Andrew Bird’s Gezelligheid performances typically feature instrumental, improvisational violin pieces amplified through his signature spinning horns, attendees can also expect to hear material from Inside Problems. With highlights like “Make a Picture,” the Joan Didion-inspired “Atomized,” and more, Pitchfork calls it “a warm, collaborative record that feels like a balm for fear and loneliness,” as it finds the Grammy-nominated musician, songwriter and composer entering “previously uncharted territory.” | https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/andrew-bird-lyric-video-make-a-picture/ | 2022-08-30T22:46:42Z | https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/andrew-bird-lyric-video-make-a-picture/ | false | 1 |

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard seized an American sea drone Tuesday in the Persian Gulf and tried to tow it away, only releasing the unmanned vessel when a U.S. Navy warship and helicopter approached, officials said.
The incident marks the first time the Navy's Mideast-based 5th Fleet's new drone task force has been targeted by Iran.
While the interception ended without incident, tensions remain high between Washington and Tehran as negotiations over the Islamic Republic's tattered nuclear deal with world powers hang in the balance.
The Guard's Shahid Baziar warship attached a line to the Saildrone Explorer in the central part of the Persian Gulf in international waters late Monday night, said Cmdr. Timothy Hawkins, a 5th Fleet spokesman. The vessel then began towing the Saildrone Explorer, which carries cameras, radars and sensors for remotely monitoring the sea, Hawkins said.
The USS Thunderbolt, a Navy coastal patrol boat, as well as an MH-60 Seahawk helicopter, moved to shadow the Guard's ship. The Navy called the Shahid Baziar by radio to identify the drone as American, Hawkins said.
“Our response was one that as such made clear that this was U.S. government property and was operating in international waters and that we had every intention to take action if necessary,” the commander told The Associated Press.
Hawkins said the incident ended peacefully after some four hours as the Iranians unhooked the tow line to the drone and left the area as the American forces were nearby.
U.S. Army Gen. Michael “Erik” Kurilla, who leads the military’s Central Command, praised the Thunderbolt’s crew for its response.
“This incident once again demonstrates Iran’s continued destabilizing, illegal and unprofessional activity in the Middle East,” he said in a statement
Iran's paramilitary Guard, which answers only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, did not acknowledge the incident. Iran's mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The 5th Fleet launched its unmanned Task Force 59 last year. The 5th Fleet's area of responsibility includes the crucial Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of all oil passes.
It also stretches as far as the Red Sea reaches near the Suez Canal, the waterway in Egypt linking the Mideast to the Mediterranean, and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait off Yemen.
It also represents a region that has seen a series of at-sea attacks in recent years. Off Yemen, bomb-laden drone boats and mines set adrift by Yemen’s Houthi rebels have damaged vessels amid that country’s yearslong war. Near the United Arab Emirates and the Strait of Hormuz, oil tankers have been seized by Iranian forces. Others have been attacked in incidents the Navy blames on Iran.
Those attacks followed about a year after then-President Donald Trump's 2018 decision to unilaterally withdraw from Iran's nuclear deal, which saw sanctions on Tehran lifted in exchange for its drastically limiting its enrichment of uranium.
Iran now enriches uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels as officials openly suggest Tehran could build a nuclear bomb if it chose. Iran has maintained its program is peaceful, though Western nations and international inspectors say Tehran has a military nuclear program up until 2003. | https://www.kagstv.com/article/news/nation-world/iran-seized-later-let-go-of-american-sea-drone-us-navy/507-f4953cf6-bb1d-45be-9187-694e41075c01 | 2022-08-30T22:56:49Z | https://www.kagstv.com/article/news/nation-world/iran-seized-later-let-go-of-american-sea-drone-us-navy/507-f4953cf6-bb1d-45be-9187-694e41075c01 | true | 41 |

NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Sema4 Holdings Corp. (“Sema4” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SMFR; SMFRW). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether Sema4 and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.

On July 22, 2021, CM Life Sciences, Inc., a special purpose acquisition company, completed its business combination with Mount Sinai Genomics, Inc., and the combined public entity was renamed Sema4. Less than a year later, on June 14, 2022, Sema4 announced that its Chief Financial Officer had departed.
Then, on August 15, 2022, after the market closed, Sema4 announced changes to its research and development leadership team, including that its founder was stepping down from the organization and leaving his role as President and Chief R&D Officer. The Company also disclosed that it was eliminating approximately 13% of its workforce as part of a series of restructuring and corporate realignments. Additionally, Sema4 lowered its fiscal 2022 revenue guidance to $245 million to $255 million from its prior guidance of $305 million to $315 million.
On this news, Sema4's stock fell $0.80, or 33.3%, to close at $1.60 per share on August 16, 2022, thereby injuring investors.

BEIJING (AP) — China has placed millions of its citizens under renewed lockdown following fresh outbreaks of COVID-19, authorities reported Tuesday, as the government persists in its hard-line policy on containing the virus.
The measures affected about half of the 6 million residents of the port city of Dalian, along with an undisclosed number in Chengde and Shijiazhuang in Hebei province, both around three hours from the capital Beijing.
Dalian’s lockdown was due to last five days, although authorities have in past extended restrictions depending on the number of new cases.
Beijing has been relatively unaffected thus far, although travel in and out of the capital has been discouraged and residents are subject to testing on an almost daily basis.
Partial lockdowns have also been imposed on cities such as Chengdu in the southwest, Shenyang in the northeast and Jishui in the southeast.
Such measures are mandated under China’s “zero-COVID” policy, which contrasts starkly with moves by other nations to coexist with the virus through gradual easing of restrictions, vaccinations, improved therapeutics and voluntary isolation.
China has largely kept its borders closed to foreign visitors, while requiring those who do come to submit to more than a week of quarantine in hotels where sanitary conditions are often poor. Masking and regular testing are also standard and anyone found to have been in close contact with a person confirmed to have the virus is forcibly transported to field hospitals.
The World Health Organization has called China’s policy unsustainable and on Monday, a Chinese think tank issued a rare public disagreement with the ruling Communist Party, saying the curbs that have shut down cities and disrupted trade, travel and industry must change to prevent an “economic stall.”
The Anbound Research Center gave no details of possible changes but said President Xi Jinping’s government needs to focus on shoring up sinking growth. It noted the United States, Europe and Japan are recovering economically after easing anti-disease curbs.
“Preventing the risk of economic stall should be the priority task,” the think tank said in a report titled, “It’s Time for China to Adjust Its Virus Control and Prevention Policies.”
Previous lockdowns have seen tens of millions confined to their homes, sometimes for weeks. A strict lockdown in the largest city and commercial hub of Shanghai earlier this year led to protests online and in person over lack of food and medical services.
China on Tuesday reported 1,717 cases of local transmission, 52 of them in Liaoning province where Dalian is located. Most of the cases were reported in Sichuan province, whose capital is Chengdu, and the vast majority were asymptomatic. | https://www.abc27.com/news/health/ap-health/ap-millions-in-new-covid-lockdown-as-china-keeps-strict-policy/ | 2022-08-30T23:07:01Z | https://www.abc27.com/news/health/ap-health/ap-millions-in-new-covid-lockdown-as-china-keeps-strict-policy/ | false | 36 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — A long-awaited review of prescription opioid medications, including their risks and contribution to the U.S. overdose epidemic, is still underway at the Food and Drug Administration, the agency’s commissioner said Tuesday.
Dr. Robert Califf wrote in a blog entry that the FDA is still studying “what revisions are needed to support appropriate use” of opioid painkillers and “lessons learned” by the agency. The update comes as part of a broader outline of the FDA’s ideas and initiatives for combating drug misuse and addiction.
Califf told The Associated Press that the sheer scale of the epidemic makes potential remedies a challenge.
“Almost everything that we want to do involves some other entity or part of society that we need to work with to figure things out,” Califf said in an interview Tuesday.
Califf promised to conduct a full review of FDA’s approach to opioids, including their prescribing instructions, to clinch Senate confirmation early this year. He told the AP last month that the public would soon hear “a lot more about this.”
Part of the delay in reassessing the drugs is that makers of long-acting opioids didn’t originally study the medications’ effectiveness for long-term pain, which carries risks of addiction and overdose. FDA-mandated studies to get at that question have dragged on for years.
“FDA does its best when it has high quality evidence, and we don’t have high quality evidence now,” Califf said, adding that it may ultimately take government-run studies to answer the question of long-term opioid safety and effectiveness.
Tuesday’s update is also unlikely to appease Califf’s critics in Congress, including five Senate Democrats who voted against his nomination, largely over concerns that the FDA hasn’t taken bolder action to reduce opioid prescribing and misuse.
It’s not the first attempt at a reset on opioids for the FDA — or even for Califf. During his brief stint as FDA commissioner at the end of the Obama administration, Califf had also vowed to conduct a “sweeping review” of opioids.
Dr. Andrew Kolodny, an FDA critic who has testified against drugmakers in court, said Califf must do more than review FDA’s “lessons learned” on opioids.
“He also needs to take on the heavier lift of correcting past mistakes” by removing unproven medications from the market, said Kolodny, who leads a group that favors tighter opioid prescribing.
Last year, U.S. overdose deaths soared to a record of 107,000, driven overwhelmingly by fentanyl and other illegal opioids. Opioid prescriptions have fallen about 40% in the last decade but deaths tied to the medications remain at 13,000 to 14,000 per year.
Califf’s post lays out a framework for combating drug addiction and overdoses overall, focusing on reducing inappropriate prescribing, developing new addiction and overdose therapies and shutting down suppliers of illicit drugs.
But many of the agency’s specific ideas have failed to gain traction.
For example, a recent FDA proposal that would require pharmacies to dispense “mail-back” envelopes with every opioid prescription has faced resistance from pharmacists, drugmakers and other groups. Elsewhere the FDA has tried for nearly a decade to require doctors and other health professionals to undergo training in safe opioid prescribing. That effort has been stalled over questions of whether it requires action by Congress or other government agencies. Medical societies generally oppose any blanket requirement.
Califf said the FDA continues to work with other federal officials to find a way to implement broader training.
“I’m personally in favor of mandatory education,” Califf said, but it must match “the needs of the clinicians, which I think is very hard to do.”
Califf said another priority will be encouraging the development of an over-the-counter version of naloxone, the medication that can reverse opioid overdose. Most states have passed measures allowing pharmacists to dispense the drug without a prescription, but an over-the-counter version would further expand access.
Even that proposal could have unintended consequences, if consumers are unable to afford naloxone that’s no longer covered by insurance.
“We know that more naloxone is needed,” Califf said. “The question is how to do that.”

If you receive an unsolicited letter in the mail, it might raise suspicions about a potential scam.
That was the case for VERIFY reader Karen when she received a letter purportedly from the U.S. Department of State asking her to take part in a passport study.
“The Office of Passport Services, U.S. Department of State would like to better serve the American public’s need for passport services in the coming months and years. To do this we are conducting interviews with Americans ages 18 and older,” the letter reads in part.
Karen asked in an email, “Is this passport survey from the U.S. Department of State legit?”
THE QUESTION
Are passport study letters from the U.S. State Department real?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
Yes, passport study letters from the U.S. State Department are real.
WHAT WE FOUND
A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department told VERIFY that the study and letter are legitimate. The study has been conducted by the State Department since as early as 2008, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office.
Passport Services sends letters to a random sample of 35,000 addresses every month asking them to complete a survey aimed at determining the demand for U.S. passports, according to the State Department spokesperson. The residential addresses are pulled from the U.S. Postal Service’s list.
According to the Office of Budget and Management, the survey helps the State Department and Passport Services make decisions about “staffing, resource allocation, and budget.”
More from VERIFY: Yes, the Facebook internet tracking settlement is real
The survey is conducted by two companies on behalf of the State Department and participation is voluntary. People who receive a letter can participate in the study via phone or online.
A sample of the letter asking people for their participation in the study, provided by the State Department, matches the one that Karen emailed to VERIFY.
The only difference between the sample letter and the one Karen received is the toll-free number to call for participation in the study via phone. The phone number listed on Karen’s letter is legitimate, the State Department spokesperson said.
According to the letter, the survey is estimated to take less than 10 minutes to complete. Here are the two ways to participate if you receive the letter:
- Visit passportplanning.com to complete the survey online and enter the passcode included in your letter.
- Call this toll-free number to complete the survey via phone: 1-888-741-1703
Those who do not respond to the survey will receive a call from the State Department. People who don’t want to participate in the survey can tell the agency during that phone call. | https://www.wbir.com/article/news/verify/government-verify/passport-planning-survey-letters-us-state-department-are-real/536-0632d143-322b-4fab-9d3e-5e3cb96de781 | 2022-08-30T23:09:39Z | https://www.wbir.com/article/news/verify/government-verify/passport-planning-survey-letters-us-state-department-are-real/536-0632d143-322b-4fab-9d3e-5e3cb96de781 | true | 13 |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – Travelers hitting the skies have been dealing with delays and cancellations. The Federal Aviation Administration is warning flight disruptions will likely stick around for the fall and winter.
The US Department of Transportation is making it easier for travelers to figure out what airlines owe them for delays and cancellations.
In June 2022, the US Department of Transportation had 5,862 complaints about airline service from consumers. That is 35% from May 2022 and up nearly 270% pre-pandemic.

Lewan Tesfay arrived at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport several hours in advance Tuesday morning. She later learned United had canceled her flight home to Vancouver.
“Information should be available,” Tesfay said. “I asked for example if they could book me another one or if they can refund me, they don’t know and asked me to call 1-800 number.”
Data from the US DOT says the worst offenders for flight cancellations are America, Delta, and United.
“In the last couple of months this is the second time,” Traveler Rudy Chow said after learning his flight with Southwest was canceled. “It’s happened more frequently than I’ve experienced in the past.”
In a letter to 10 of the nation’s largest airlines, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called the flight delays “unacceptable.” He is pushing for airlines to at least start feeding customers delayed more than three hours and book hotels for overnight cancellations within the airline’s control.
Just in time for Labor Day weekend, the DOT is rolling out an interactive website showing what a carrier owes you if they change your flight.
“I think it’s a great tool and it will help a lot of people,” Traveler Julius Reynolds said.
Airlines 4 America, the group that represents major carriers says they’re working on making service better for customers blaming tricky travel on the “dramatically changed workforce” with more absences due to covid. They say airlines need more on-call reserve employees.
Labor shortages combined with pent-up travel demand are still the main concern causing long lines, lost baggage, flight cancellations, and delays.

“People rely on travel more and more and I think it’s important that people know what’s due to them and that’s everyone is held accountable and knows what they’re able to get,” Traveler Maureen McGraw said.
Travelers like Tesfay rebooked 24 hours after the originally scheduled time say they want more accountability for on-time travel.
“I’m missing work, plus I have nowhere to go and it’s not fair,” Tesfay said.
The DOT rolls out the new website on Friday, September 2.
The Federal government is taking feedback to consider standard policies for refunds, meals and hotels until November 21 before officially changing the rules. | https://www.fox46.com/news/u-s/north-carolina/feds-rolling-out-tool-to-help-travelers-navigate-flight-delays-and-cancellations/ | 2022-08-30T23:15:11Z | https://www.fox46.com/news/u-s/north-carolina/feds-rolling-out-tool-to-help-travelers-navigate-flight-delays-and-cancellations/ | false | 1 |

Pregnant 17-year-old found dead in neighborhood home, family says
CARYVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT/Gray News) - Authorities in Tennessee are investigating the death of a 17-year-old girl.
According to the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office, the girl was found dead on Tuesday morning in a neighborhood home.
WVLT reports the girl’s family identified her as Kimber Marie Wilson. The 17-year-old’s mother, Carol Ann Wilson, said her daughter was five months pregnant.
According to the family, Kimber Marie Wilson was found dead in her great-grandfather’s home. The girl’s uncle said he saw her just after midnight and she seemed OK. They said she was a good kid and a smart girl.
Tennessee Highway Patrol officials said the Caryville Police Department sent a lookout order for a suspect before canceling it after a few hours.
Caryville police did not immediately confirm if a person was in custody, but highway patrol officials said that that is usually the case when a lookout order is canceled.

SparkCharge announced a new round of funding Monday that will help enable a continued expansion of the firm’s unique on-demand charging services. The company essentially uses portable hardware to help fill gaps in infrastructure or help EV owners with unforeseen charging needs.
Through its Currently app, SparkCharge has been allowing EV drivers to order extra energy to be delivered while they’re parked—in Dallas, San Francisco, LA, or San Jose.
Now it’s expanding its “charging as a service” model to more surrounding communities: Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Irvine, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Oakland, Fremont, Berkeley, Union City, Albany, Orange, and Hayward.
With the additional $7 million announced Monday from venture fund Cleveland Avenue, SparkCharge takes its total Series A funding with a diverse group of investors to $30 million, which should allow the company to keep scaling up.
Currently now offers three service tiers, ranging from a base fee of $4.99 per month and $0.69/kwh up to $29.99 a month and $0.51/kwh. Each level includes unlimited deliveries up to 100 miles.
In 2019, the early-stage startup demonstrated that the idea of ordering a pizza crossed with the ubiquity of a “jerry can” of fuel might be the technology that helps to bridge EV enthusiasm, given a charging infrastructure that isn’t yet fully baked. With a charge pack about the size of a large carry-on suitcase that weighed less than 20 lb, SparkCharge’s early hardware could deliver a mile of range back every minute.
In 2020, the company moved on to pilot programs in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and partnerships with towing companies showing that EV drivers who did find themselves short on range could avoid a costly tow.
That evolved to the wider rollout of higher-capacity mobile charging hardware called the Roadie CCS and the mobile app eventually called Currently.
SparkCharge says that it has already delivered more than 250,000 miles of range, and it sees the service as a valuable stopgap while charging infrastructure is built up—amid supply shortages—to support the rapid sales and interest in EVs.

Gary O’Neil has no fresh injury concerns as he takes charge of Bournemouth for the first time against Wolves.
With Scott Parker sacked on Monday, O’Neil has taken over on a temporary basis and still has a few players sidelined.
Ryan Fredericks (calf), Joe Rothwell (quad), David Brooks (fitness) and Junior Stanislas (groin) are all out for the Cherries, who will be looking to respond to a 9-0 thrashing at Liverpool last time out.
Willy Boly is not expected to feature for Wolves.
The defender failed to show up for Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle as he tries to force a move from Molineux.
Chiquinho (knee) is also on the sidelines for boss Bruno Lage as Wolves search for a first Premier League win of the season.
Bournemouth provisional squad: Travers, Neto, Kelly, Mepham, Smith, Stacey, Hill, Senesi, Lerma, Cook, Pearson, Zemura, Billing, Marcondes, Dembele, Christie, Tavernier, Lowe, Anthony, Moore, Solanke.
Wolves provisional squad: Sa, Sarkic, Ait Nouri, Collins, Mosquera, Gomes, Jonny, Kilman, Semedo, Neves, Podence, Nunes, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Guedes, Hwang, Neto, Ronan, Campbell, Traore, Jimenez. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/sport/4728490/gary-oneil-has-injuries-to-contend-with-for-bournemouths-clash-with-wolves/ | 2022-08-30T23:35:19Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/sport/4728490/gary-oneil-has-injuries-to-contend-with-for-bournemouths-clash-with-wolves/ | false | 5 |
Chelsea is getting precious little return for being the biggest-spending team in Europe this summer.
And it’s not escaping the attention of Thomas Tuchel, either.
“It does not take a lot to beat us,” the Chelsea manager said after a 2-1 loss at Southampton in the Premier League on Tuesday. “This is what I do not like.”
If Wesley Fofana joins, as widely expected, from Leicester for what could be a record fee for a defender of more than 80 million pounds ($93 million), Chelsea’s spending will not be far off $300 million in this transfer window. The majority of that will have come on defenders, with Marc Cucurella and Kalidou Koulibaly having already arrived for big fees.
Yet Chelsea has conceded in all but one of its games. So compact in Tuchel’s first year in charge — which included a Champions League title in 2021 — the team now appears disjointed at the back and is missing the industry and energy of the injured N’Golo Kante in midfield.
Southampton took advantage on Tuesday, recovering from conceding a 23rd-minute opener to Raheem Sterling — another high-profile summer signing — with goals from Romeo Lavia and Adam Armstrong before the break.
Cucurella and Thiago Silva cleared Southampton shots off the line in the second half before late pressure by Chelsea failed to yield an equalizer at St. Mary’s stadium, where Southampton lost to Manchester United on Saturday.
With so many new players, it might take time for this new-look Chelsea to click.
“We struggle with our focus and consistency in matches.” Tuchel said. “When things go against us, we struggle to find answers and our way back.”
“Just toughen up as a team,” he added, “and show a different mentality.”
MISSED CHANCE
Brighton missed a chance to move into first place — at least overnight — by losing 2-1 at Fulham, becoming the latest team to struggle to handle Aleksandar Mitrovic.
It’s now five goals for the season for the World Cup-bound Serbia striker — one behind the Premier League top scorer, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland — after setting Fulham on its way to a victory that ended Brighton’s unbeaten start to the campaign.
An unfortunate own-goal by Lewis Dunk put Fulham 2-0 ahead in the 55th before Brighton reduced the deficit five minutes later through Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister’s penalty.
Fulham already has eight points from five games in an encouraging start to life back in the top division. Brighton has two more points.
ZAHA ON SHOW
Wilfried Zaha could yet leave Crystal Palace before the transfer window shuts on Thursday, with Chelsea and Arsenal the clubs reportedly interested in the forward.
He’ll be sorely missed by Palace if he does leave.
Zaha emphasized his importance to the team by scoring for the fourth time this season to put give Palace the lead against Brentford, which equalized in the 88th to salvage a 1-1 draw.
It was another stunning goal by Zaha, who cut inside from the left and found the far corner with a curling shot from just outside the penalty area.
Home fans sang Zaha’s name throughout the match at Selhurst Park.
In the night’s other match, Leeds drew 1-1 at home to Everton but lost a key player in captain Rodrigo, who walked off the field midway through the first half after dislocating his shoulder in a seemingly innocuous clash with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Colombia winger Luis Sinisterra scored his first Premier League goal to earn Leeds a point, cancelling out Anthony Gordon’s first-half strike.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Relatives of some of Mexico’s over 100,000 missing people marched through downtown Mexico City Tuesday to demand authorities find their sons, daughters, parents and siblings.
The protesters carried photos of the disappeared hanging from their necks, and chanted “Where are they? Our Children, Where are they?"
Many claimed that, rather than investigating the abductions, authorities are quick to assume that disappeared people might have been involved in illicit activities.
”Frequently, there are no investigations, re-victimizations. We continually face negligence and inaction,” said Miriam Jaqueline Palmeros, whose daughter Jael Monserrat Uribe disappeared two years ago and has never been seen since.
To mark the International Day of the Disappeared, family members mounted a panorama of photos of the missing, and performed prayers, rituals and songs for them. Most of the disappearances began after the start of Mexico’s drug war in 2006.
While abductions and disappearances sometimes involve street-level drug dealers picked up by rival gangs, the disappeared also include kidnap victims, passing motorists caught at drug cartel checkpoints and witnesses to crimes or passersby.
Guillermo Fernández Maldonado, the Mexico representative for the U.N. Office on Human Rights, noted “these are really enormous numbers.”
“These are not like some situations that are in the past,” Fernández Maldonado said. “These are serious situations that continue to happen every day.”
The protesters demanded that authorities start searching earlier, within the first few hours after a disappearance, rather than waiting — as they often do — to see if a missing person shows up on their own. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Mexicans-march-to-demand-search-for-100-000-17408455.php | 2022-08-30T23:42:03Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Mexicans-march-to-demand-search-for-100-000-17408455.php | true | 11 |

The Ministry of Social Development wants an explanation over why it wasn't told a staff member of a contracted provider acted as a fake judge in a mock trial of the Government during a Parliament protest.
Rick Southey, a Destiny Church member, was dressed in judicial robes and a wig on Tuesday last week as he presided over the fake trial that took place in front of Parliament as part of an anti-Government protest, organised by Freedom and Rights Coalition leader Brian Tamaki.
Yesterday, the Herald revealed Southey's position as non-clinical national manager of Whānau Ora Community Clinic - a key provider of Covid-19 services in Auckland - was under review as a result of his actions.
"I think it may not have been a wise thing to do," clinic director George Ngatai said of Southey's participation in the protest.

Advertise with NZME."Everybody has to be responsible for their actions, and whatever the outcomes are from those actions they've got to deal with those consequences as well."
Southey has chosen not to comment while the review is ongoing.
Southey was also listed on a Ministry of Social Development website as a contact for organisations who helped secondary school students with a disability or health condition find employment.
Southey was linked to an Auckland provider, Transitioning Out Aotearoa (TOA). A media release in 2012 named Ngatai as the chief executive of TOA.
The Ministry has now confirmed it is contacting Ngatai concerning Southey's participation in the protest.
"As part of our agreements, we work on a "no surprises" basis and in this instance we were not advised of Mr Southey's role in the Parliament protest," Ministry Pacific and community capability programmes general manager Serena Curtis said.
"We are contacting the chief executive to seek more information."
A spokesperson for Ngatai's Whānau Ora Community Clinic said he was not aware of the ministry's intention to contact Ngatai.

Advertise with NZME.The spokesperson said the review into Southey's position was ongoing and would not comment further.
Southey, who lists no legal expertise on his LinkedIn page, acted as a judge alongside "prosecutor" Heka Robertson and heard from "witnesses" who spoke of the pain Covid-19 lockdowns and mandates had inflicted on their whānau.
Following a two-minute recess, the crowd of protesters - or the jury - found the Government guilty, which was later confirmed by Southey.
Tamaki also used the protest to announce Freedoms NZ - an umbrella political party that united Vision New Zealand, led by his wife Hannah Tamaki, and the New Nation Party.
Ngatai, who spoke to the Herald on Monday while overseas, said a Whānau Ora Community Clinic (WOCC) staff member had lodged a complaint about Southey's appearance at the protest.
On Wednesday last week before he left New Zealand, Ngatai stood down Southey from his role with WOCC and initiated a review that would determine any consequences for his actions.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Ngatai, who is a Destiny Church member and candidate for Vision New Zealand, said he didn't know of Southey's planned role in the protest and would have instructed Southey not to participate had he known.
"Let's put it this way, I was surprised," he said.
"I don't actually see that as being something that should have actually happened."
According to Ngatai, Southey had worked for WOCC for a little over two years, helping young people struggling with education into work or alternative education.
Ngatai had purposely removed himself from the review panel, given both he and Southey were Destiny Church members.
The review would instead be undertaken by WOCC chairwoman Leainne Nathan and other representatives - all of whom Ngatai said were not linked to the church.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Ngatai hoped Nathan would reach a decision by the end of this week.
He wouldn't be drawn on whether he thought Southey should be removed from his role.
"Whatever the outcome is, obviously as the director of the organisation, that will be something I'll have to work with."
According to a document released in December last year under the Official Information Act, WOCC received almost $8 million of funding from the now-disestablished Counties Manukau DHB since July, 2018 - largely for the Covid testing and vaccination services it provided.
Ngatai hoped Southey's actions hadn't jeopardised future funding or negatively impacted how people viewed his staff.
The Herald asked Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand) whether Southey's affiliation with WOCC could impact future funding.

U.S. Army grounds Boeing-made Chinook helicopters fleet
While no deaths or injuries occurred, the grounding was carried "out of an abundance of caution" until those corrective actions are complete, Smith added. The grounding, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, was targeted at certain models with engines manufactured by Honeywell International Inc, according to the report.
The U.S. Army has temporarily grounded its fleet of about 400 Chinook helicopters due to a risk of engine fires, a spokeswoman told Reuters on Tuesday. Planemaker Boeing Co makes the heavy-lift Chinook helicopters that supports disaster relief operations and medical evacuation. It is used by international defense forces including those of Italy, South Korea and Canada.
"The Army has identified the root cause of fuel leaks that caused a small number of engine fires among an isolated number of H-47 helicopters, and is implementing corrective measures to resolve this issue," U.S. Army spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith said. While no deaths or injuries occurred, the grounding was carried "out of an abundance of caution" until those corrective actions are complete, Smith added.
The grounding, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, was targeted at certain models with engines manufactured by Honeywell International Inc, according to the report. https://on.wsj.com/3R1bP7m Boeing declined to comment and referred questions to the Army. Honeywell did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The remnant circulation of Hurricane Ida brought about a frightening night a year ago when a tight, low-level circulation brushed the ground twice in the New River Valley and somehow scraped above the treetops crossing Virginia Tech and Blacksburg without touching down again.
What the remnants of Hurricane Ida did not cause, strictly speaking, was the deadly flooding the night before in Hurley, a small community in Buchanan County.
Very much a harbinger of what happened on a in a different part of Buchanan County this July, and what happened in eastern Kentucky later in July with 39 fatalities, about 20 homes were destroyed and one person killed a year ago when flash flooding engulfed the narrow drainage channel around Guesses Fork in the Hurley area of northern Buchanan County.
Multiple reports have laid blame for the Hurley flooding on the “remnants of Hurricane Ida.” But this is demonstrably false.
People are also reading…
Ida likely played a contributing role in the flooding but Ida wasn’t “remnants” yet.
Hurley’s flooding occurred from localized extremely heavy rainfall on Aug. 30, 2021, with the worst effects of the flooding continuing into the day on Aug. 31.
Ida had just come ashore in Louisiana early Aug. 30 and was working northward through the lower Mississippi River Valley, its intensity gradually reducing from hurricane to tropical depression.
By the morning of Aug. 31, the center of Tropical Depression Ida was still over northeast Mississippi.
This wasn’t a case, as with Camille in 1969 or Juan in 1985, of a former hurricane tracking several days over inland areas and an amorphous version of its original self bumping up against a stationary front and mountainous terrain, unloading its moisture.
Ida was still an organized tropical cyclone hundreds of miles southwest of Virginia when Hurley was inundated.
Besides not yet being “remnants,” Ida was actually too far away even be the direct cause of the flooding, as Ida’s rain shield had not yet reached the far tip of Southwest Virginia.
What can be said with a moderate degree of confidence is that the tropical cyclone likely had at least some influence on the flooding.
Its circulation would have focused moist easterly to southeasterly wind flow into Southwest Virginia. That, combined with some upper-air instability, a stationary front to the north, terrain effects and perhaps outflow boundaries of other bands of storms, likely brought about the disaster.
There is a phenomenon called a “predecessor rain event” — PRE for short — that is sometimes associated with landfalling hurricanes.
The broader flow around a tropical system can focus moisture into a region about 500 miles north of the hurricane about 36 hours before the main core of the storm passes the same latitude.
By that definition, the far Southwest Virginia flooding of Aug. 30-31, 2021, seems to fit the bill as a possible PRE. But the heaviest rain seemed far too localized to be a typical PRE — nearby Grundy had less than an inch of rain while up to 7 inches poured on the Hurley area in a short time.
As Ida’s former circulation center tracked just northwest of our region and then toward New England, it did more directly bring around a rash of tornadoes and flooding throughout much of the Mid-Atlantic region and the Northeast.
Locally, the most memorable part of that, that could have easily been far worse, was the tightly spinning storm that moved north-northwest from Carroll County toward Blacksburg on the evening of Aug. 31.
Twice — for about 1.7 miles southeast of Radford, and again for 0.2 mile just northwest of Merrimac — a circulation reached the surface, but all it did was damage a barn, destroy a swing, and take out a bunch of trees.
Still, that was enough to register a debris signature on radar, send people scrambling under a tornado warning and produce a sickening feeling in my stomach watching that roll toward Blacksburg.
Fortunately, this time around, fears of destruction were not realized as they had been a few other times having the same feeling watching similar radar images go into a populated area.
After pointing out what has become a common mistake in coverage of the Hurley flood, it is fitting in the interest of humility to recall my own embarrassing flub in the aftermath of Ida.
In the Sept. 2 edition of The Roanoke Times, right on the front page recalling the two brief New River Valley tornado touchdowns of Aug. 31, there is this sentence ending the second paragraph: “EF-1 is the second weakest of six categories on the Saffir-Simpson Scale.”
Ouch. We were rightfully called out by a few science-minded readers for that gaffe. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale — EF is right there in the rating — while it is hurricanes that are rated on the Saffir-Simpson Scale.
There were three bylines on that article, but let’s be clear who specifically screwed that up — it was the “weather guy” who edited a hurricane book and helped lead 14 trips looking for tornadoes.
Haste makes waste. A quick, late change to an article, a tired mind from days of covering a hurricane that spawned tornadoes, a mental mistake with limited editing time on deadline.
We fixed the article on the website and ran a correction, but it’s there on the printed page for perpetuity.
It’s important to report the meteorological cause of the Hurley flood correctly. But I can’t throw stones inside my glass house pocked by mixed-up wind scales.

The Vikings announced their 53-man roster just as Tuesday’s deadline hit. The franchise made a flurry of moves as the deadline approached, including two surprise trades.
It was a more exciting cutdown day than usual, so we’ll break it down position by position before looking at the big picture.
Quarterback (2)
In: Kirk Cousins, Nick Mullens
Out: Sean Mannion, Kellen Mond
The writing was on the wall for Mannion when the Vikings traded for Mullens, someone who they were so comfortable with that they didn’t even feel the need to see him operate in their offense during the preseason. Mannion was unimpressive as a backup and he doesn’t offer much upside, so his roster spot fell victim to a game-ready quarterback coming in from outside. The Vikings may still want Mannion on the practice squad, especially if they need an emergency fill-in early in the season while Mullens learns the playbook.
Mond, on the other hand, could have made the roster on upside alone. If Mond had shown a high enough ceiling or if they had felt he was a risk to make another team’s roster after going through waivers, they might have kept him. As it is, they either think Mond doesn’t have enough upside, hasn’t developed quickly enough or isn’t a risk to be claimed on waivers.
Running back (5)
In: Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, C.J. Ham, Kene Nwangwu, Ty Chandler
Out: Bryant Koback
There isn’t anything surprising here, though there was some discussion about moving Mattison because of the value provided by Nwangwu and Chandler. Both were impressive, but Mattison provides consistency and size that the other two don’t offer. Should Cook miss a game or two, Mattison will fill in as the primary back. Chandler and Nwangwu are expected to be complementary pieces.
It should be noted that Koback had a very impressive second half of training camp and showed up in big moments in the preseason. The Vikings will likely want him on the practice squad, and he demonstrated much more value than you typically see at the bottom of the depth chart.
Wide receiver (5)
In: Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, K.J. Osborn, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Jalen Nailor
Out: Trishton Jackson, Dan Chisena, Myron Mitchell
Injured: Bisi Johnson (ACL)
The Vikings could still add a sixth receiver via waivers, but this group of five is unsurprising. The first four were clear locks, while Johnson would likely have made it if it weren’t for his injury. Nailor grew as a receiver throughout camp and became an intriguing option by the end of the offseason program. Though the Vikings didn’t try him at punt returner in the preseason, he is an option there if they don’t trust Smith-Marsette’s consistency.
The Vikings either didn’t see value in a pure special teams option like Chisena or didn’t think his development in that area was what it needed to be. Jackson and Mitchell were serious competitors for the final spot, but Nailor’s overall value — and perhaps his status as a draft pick — made him the choice.
Tight end (3)
In: Irv Smith Jr., Johnny Mundt, Ben Ellefson
Out: Zach Davidson, Nick Muse
The Vikings tried to give Davidson every opportunity to earn a roster spot, but he seemingly didn’t do enough. His performances as a blocker and special-teamer were still well behind where they needed to be, even for a receiving tight end, and he wasn’t consistent enough as a pass catcher or route runner to earn sufficient merit on that front. His camp plaudits were in part a product of the proclivity of both Mond and Mannion to check down and hid deeper problems with his overall game. They still may try to put him on the practice squad.
Otherwise, we’re in a bit of an informational black hole. Without much data on how Smith has been used or where they see his role in the offense, we can’t do much to predict his usage. Even Mundt was excluded from most preseason duties, so there isn’t much to discern if he’s an exciting receiver or merely a functional Kyle Rudolph type who can do everything. Ellefson is primarily a blocker, but he has shown some talent in red zone drills throughout camp, so they may use him more near the goal line.
Offensive line (10)
In: Christian Darrisaw, Ezra Cleveland, Garrett Bradbury, Ed Ingram, Brian O’Neill, Blake Brandel, Oli Udoh, Chris Reed, Austin Schlottmann, Vederian Lowe
Out: Jesse Davis (trade), Wyatt Davis, Kyle Hinton, Josh Sokol, Timon Parris
The Vikings made a smart move to offload Jesse Davis without taking much in the way of a cap hit while still netting (marginal) draft value, earning a conditional 2025 seventh-round pick from the Steelers. Ingram had already secured the starting right guard job, but this gives the Vikings room to keep Lowe at tackle and keep Udoh as a guard/tackle hybrid. This hurts the Vikings’ overall depth but does free up cap space.
The Vikings may yet make moves to improve the center position, but that would probably mean another trade, as they have three center-capable players in Bradbury, Schlottmann and Reed. Overall, this looks like a stronger starting unit with a weakness at the pivot, but the depth remains a worry outside of Brandel and Reed.
Defensive line (6)
In: Dalvin Tomlinson, Harrison Phillips, Ross Blacklock (trade), Jonathan Bullard, James Lynch, Esezi Otomewo
Out: Armon Watts, Jaylen Twyman, T.J. Smith
Injured: T.Y. McGill (ankle), Jullian Taylor (hand)
This was the Vikings’ biggest surprise. They waived Watts, who carried a non-guaranteed $2.5 million cap charge, and traded a sixth-round pick for Ross Blacklock and a seventh-round pick. Watts performed better for the Vikings over the past three years than Blacklock did for the Texans, but the defensive line coaches must see something they think they can unlock.
Other than that, this is an extremely strong starting unit — but a worrisome set of rotational depth players. The Vikings have had issues with their backup defensive linemen throughout camp and the preseason, and aside from the injured McGill, Bullard was the only one who could consistently generate pressure. While Bullard’s rise has been encouraging, the other players have struggled.
The team did want to retain some youth, as the decisions to keep Lynch and Otomewo tell us. But both were unimpressive in camp and in the preseason and will need to develop significantly.
Edge defender (5)
In: Danielle Hunter, Za’Darius Smith, D.J. Wonnum, Patrick Jones II, Luiji Vilain
Out: Zach McCloud, Janarius Robinson
The Vikings chose to keep Vilain above fourth-round pick Robinson and McCloud, an undrafted free agent, despite the bidding war for the Miami product following the draft. Jones impressed in the preseason but still has more room to grow in maintaining rush lanes.
As with the defensive line, there are reasons to trust that the starting unit can produce in a big way. But the depth is a concern, and there’s not much in the history of Wonnum and Jones that tells us they can provide significant rotational help. As an undrafted free agent, Vilain also seems unlikely to be an instant contributor. Still, if Jones’ development is real and we see some growth from the other two, this could be a better unit than we thought.
Linebacker (4)
In: Eric Kendricks, Jordan Hicks, Brian Asamoah, Troy Dye
Out: Chazz Surratt, Blake Lynch, William Kwenkeu
The decision to waive Surratt wasn’t a big surprise even though he was a third-round draft pick in 2021. Keeping Dye over Lynch wasn’t a surprise either, but it was a move worth questioning. By my eye, Lynch had outperformed Dye on special teams and on defense. On the other hand, Lynch has less athletic upside and was on fewer special teams units, meaning Dye’s upside and versatility likely won out.
Asamoah has improved throughout camp but still makes critical assignment errors from time to time and will need to clean that up if he’s going to be an effective injury replacement. Not only that, but he still has coverage instincts to develop. His athletic potential is fantastic, however, and his ability to play at full speed in every situation is useful. In the meantime, he’s a special teams asset.
Cornerback (6)
In: Patrick Peterson, Cameron Dantzler, Chandon Sullivan, Andrew Booth, Akayleb Evans, Kris Boyd
Out: Nate Hairston, Parry Nickerson, Tye Smith
The Vikings kept six cornerbacks, but only one of them is fit to play the nickel position — Sullivan. If he goes down, the Vikings will have to either be creative with their safeties or push an outside cornerback inside. The best candidate for that might be Peterson, but the situation is a little bleak.
But on the outside, this is fantastic depth. Evans and Booth — projected to sit behind Dantzler to start the year — are certainly better than most teams’ backups on the outside. One could argue that Boyd should be ahead of Evans based on his preseason performance. Vikings fans might be nervous to hear that Boyd could take snaps at corner, but it’s always possible that this defensive system is a better fit for him and that he’s improved.
Without Hairston or Nickerson, they will not only need slot corner depth, but they also need experience on special teams. Both Hairston and Nickerson took some substantial special team snaps in the preseason and in camp, which is a contrast to Boyd and Evans, particularly at difficult-to-replace positions like punt gunner. If Boyd, Evans or Booth can begin winning there, their punt and kickoff coverage shouldn’t take too big a hit from losing Chisena and the slot corners.
Safety (4)
In: Harrison Smith, Camryn Bynum, Lewis Cine, Josh Metellus
Out: Myles Dorn, Mike Brown
There was an outside possibility that the Vikings would keep five safeties with Dorn as the fifth. He not only had an excellent performance as a safety against the Broncos in the preseason, but he was also excellent on special teams. But he didn’t put together a full package throughout the preseason and had some difficulties in camp, so the Vikings decided to take the larger sample and move on.
Metellus has been a great special-teamer over the years but didn’t participate much in the preseason in that regard. The Vikings may think they know what they have in him and don’t need to invest in a special-teamer if he can make it on his own as a safety. They did use him in a number of ways throughout training camp, including as a box safety, as a nickel corner and in four-safety sets.
Specialists (3)
In: Ryan Wright, Andrew Depaola, Greg Joseph
Out: None
By cutting Jordan Berry prior to the preseason game in Denver, the Vikings made it clear who would win these jobs. There was no intrigue, but it was encouraging to see the high-level performances from Joseph and Wright in the preseason game, which included a 58-yard field goal from Joseph and a perfectly placed Wright punt inside the 5-yard line.
What these decisions tell us
The new Vikings regime of general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell isn’t particularly beholden to the old regime, of course. But, more importantly, they have been proactive about correcting mistakes and taking advantage of opportunities. They were aggressive about acquiring a backup quarterback and getting value out of one of their free-agent signings (Jesse Davis).
Finding small edges here or there is the epitome of an analytics-friendly front office, and they knew that if they had to make a cap move — like cutting Watts — they needed to supplement the roster, something they did with the Blacklock trade.
At the same time, they’ve been patient at center. They may still make a move there, but they didn’t overpay throughout the preseason to acquire one and didn’t accept an undervalued offer for Alexander Mattison despite reportedly hearing several from other teams. Instead, they took the unusual move of rostering four halfbacks along with their fullback.
After sending a message that they may take under market value in the first round of the draft, the Vikings are now sending a signal that they won’t give things away for free during the season — the exact opposite of how the Rick Spielman-led front office operated in the weeks leading up to the season. We didn’t see the types of panic moves that we did with the trades for Sam Bradford, Yannick Ngakoue and Chris Herndon.
One thing that the Adofo-Mensah front office didn’t have to deal with that Spielman did, however, is critical injuries. Each of those Spielman moves was a response to an injury to a key starter that took them out for the year. This year’s Vikings have been healthier than they’ve been in the past (and compared to most other teams), even with the unfortunate injury to Bisi Johnson.
Even with a key backup potentially out for the year in T.Y. McGill, they didn’t react by continuing to (in their minds) overpay Watts and instead paid a small amount for Blacklock. While this still feels like a questionable move — saving $1 million in cap space to get worse at the position — it may allow them the flexibility they need to acquire a center or make important moves during the season.
The Vikings also didn’t spend many preseason special teams snaps on some of the players that will end up being core special-teamers. That includes Nwangwu (three snaps), Metellus (four), Dye (four), Ellefson (10), Boyd (12), Nailor (12) and Asamoah (12). Instead, we saw many more snaps for McCloud (49), Koback (39), Kwenkeu (38), Dorn (36), Brown (34), Davidson (32), Surratt (26), Jackson (25) and Blake Lynch (23).
This could mean there’s a shift in priorities for the back end of the roster from the previous regime — which was willing to keep players solely because they were valuable on special teams — or it could mean that the new regime doesn’t need to see preseason snaps from players they expect to make the team.
These new Vikings also aren’t hostages to their playing style. They rostered just five receivers after the Johnson injury and didn’t feel the need to roster six just to have six. That means they are in the unusual position of having as many running backs as receivers on the roster despite a more pass-focused offense that will see more receivers on the field at the same time.
As with any team, the initial 53-man roster likely won’t be the roster the Vikings carry in Week 1, and they could scour the waiver wire or trade market to continue to improve. But we’re already seeing some differences between this regime and the last, especially on defense, where the new system has created some unexpected casualties.

PRAGUE (AP) — European Union nations were divided Tuesday over whether to slap a broad visa ban on Russian citizens, torn between a desire to ramp up pressure on President Vladimir Putin and concern about punishing people who may not even support his war on Ukraine.
The 27-nation EU already tightened visa restrictions on Russian officials and businesspeople in May, but calls have mounted from, notably, Poland and the Baltic countries — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania — for a broader ban on tourists.
“There must be more restrictions on travel for Russian citizens,” Latvian Defense Minister Artis Pabriks said.
“We cannot simply give bonuses to people which are supporting such presidents as Putin,” he told reporters in Czech capital Prague, where EU defense and foreign ministers are meeting.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, who is chairing the talks, has said that a visa ban on all Russian citizens is unlikely to be agreed on. Germany and France are leading a push to tighten visa restrictions, rather than impose an outright ban.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock expressed support for suspending more parts of the 2007 EU agreement with Russia, and to halt the issuing of multiple-entry or multi-year visas.
But Baerbock said it’s important “that we don’t deprive ourselves of what made it possible for us to allow persecuted people in Russia to leave very quickly.”
“We should not punish those who have the courage to stand up against this regime,” Baerbock said at a Cabinet gathering north of Berlin, from where she is due to travel to Prague on Wednesday.
Finland’s foreign minister, Pekka Haavisto, said his country is worried about a kind of Russian “tourist route” through Helsinki airport. He said Finland will unilaterally slash the granting of tourist visas to Russians to 10% of their usual number from Sept. 1.
As of Thursday, Finland, which has the longest border with Russia of all EU countries, will only allow Russian citizens to apply for tourist visas on one day a week, and only in four cities in Russia.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday that Moscow was closely following the EU visa discussions and described them as part of Western moves against Russia that are “irrational and bordering on madness.” He warned that Moscow will retaliate if Russian citizens are targeted.
In talks earlier Tuesday, EU defense ministers weighed the possibility of setting up a training mission for Ukraine’s beleaguered armed forces, but the bloc’s countries disagree over what added value such an effort might bring.
Ukraine has provided the EU with a list of short- and long-term requirements, ranging from basic military training and organizing resistance to high-level instruction on the use of equipment or defending against nuclear and chemical weapons.
Several countries already provide military training on a bilateral basis, but some feel that it’s important to throw the EU’s combined weight behind the effort. The Netherlands highlighted new demining training that it’s providing with Germany.
Others fear that an EU effort of 27 countries might be too unwieldy.
“It’s not maybe the quickest way. I’m not so convinced,” Luxembourg Defense Minister Francois Bausch said. Austria was also cool on the idea. Pabriks said that Latvia stands ready to help, but that such an EU-wide mission “must be practical.”
In the end, Borrell said, the ministers agreed “on launching the work necessary to define the parameters” of what such a mission might look like, meaning that little movement is likely at the EU level for some time.
The ministers also discussed ways of pooling military resources and material, and using their collective weight to jointly purchase defense equipment and help European industry “to ramp up production capacities,” Borrell said.
“We are depleting our stocks. We are providing so many capacities to Ukraine that we have to refill our stocks,” he said.
Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nad sought help from EU partners to “backfill” his country’s national defense needs so that it can be free to send more military equipment to Ukraine, including Mig-29 fighter jets.

Ofsted called the discipline I used to transform a school 'oppressive'. But it is not difficult to teach children how to be respectful, writes former headteacher BARRY SMITH
At a school in London’s East End, just before the start of the pandemic, I approached a group of children in a corridor for a handshake.
In most British secondary schools, that would be unusual. When teenagers throng corridors and other communal spaces, many teachers feel intimidated and back away.
That ‘us and them’ attitude, prevalent in so many schools, goes against everything I believe in. I make it my business to demonstrate courtesy and politeness to all pupils. And, crucially, I expect no less from them.
Contempt
When I walked across with my hand outstretched, I greeted one of the girls by name. She looked me straight in the eye, then licked her palm from top to bottom and held it out to me, dripping in saliva. It was a display of naked contempt. And it wasn’t even personal. As a teacher, I was, in her eyes, the enemy.
We live in a society that has a real aversion to adult authority. For thousands of teachers across the country, this makes their job nigh-on impossible.
But there is a simple fix. Twenty-five years in teaching have convinced me that, when it comes to discipline in school, we simply need to teach children good manners.
Thankfully, violence against staff is not a daily occurrence even in the worst schools. But physical assaults do occur regularly — and they can be vicious.
I’ve been in many classrooms where the children wage a constant war of attrition.
They refuse to answer in more than mumbled monosyllables. Verbal aggression goes unpunished. Public areas become the domain of the toughest kids in the school, instead of being a safe place for all.
In too many schools, staff are abused, ignored and treated with contempt by the pupils. Teachers are often ill at ease and feel threatened.
Adults will not venture into public areas at break or lunchtimes — retreating instead to the relative safety of their classrooms. At some schools, even the headteacher is belittled and ignored.
Former headteacher Barry Smith is a co-founder of the Michaela Community School in London. Once called 'Britain's strictest headteacher' he said: 'I make it my business to demonstrate courtesy and politeness to all pupils'
Supply agencies refuse to send staff there, for fear of what they might face. Teachers look at the register, desperately hoping that key individuals will be late or absent, because their presence guarantees that any attempts to teach will be sabotaged.
Up and down the land they feel a palpable sense of dread on a school night, knowing they will be confronted by aggression in the classroom.
So — how do you survive in schools like this?
Some teachers lower their standards. They look away as ringleaders wreak havoc, or stare at their computer monitors rather than address the chaos around them.
In badly-run schools, where children bully adults and where teachers lack confidence in the headteacher, adults often feel isolated.
I have a different approach.
Restrictive
It is not difficult to teach children how to be respectful. I’ve done it all my professional life. I expect children in school to be as polite to the adults as we are to them.
And I actively teach teachers to demonstrate warmth, courtesy and confidence with every interaction.
Which is why I was disappointed, if not entirely surprised, when Ofsted inspectors earlier this month described some of the behaviour systems employed by one school where I have advised the head as ‘overly restrictive’ and even ‘oppressive’.
What rot. Let me make it clear to the education watchdog: good discipline transforms schools.
It’s not oppressive — it’s liberating. I know, because I’ve led such transformations numerous times. A vocal minority of parents who seem horrified at the concept of children being polite and following teachers’ instructions cannot be allowed to hold headteachers to ransom.
Adult authority is not ‘oppressive’. It doesn’t mean behaving like a martinet or a bully. Quite the opposite.
Despite headlines, I’m not a Sergeant Major type. In fact, I was lazy at my comprehensive school outside Newcastle, and I stayed off far too much.
I lacked self-discipline. Perhaps that’s why I understand disaffected kids.
I became a teacher at 29. I was a little bit older, more sceptical and more confident than many new teachers. I wasn’t prepared to be told what to do by 11-year-olds.
When working with headteachers now, I still focus on good manners first. I favour easy-to-remember acronyms: ‘Steps’ is one.
The first S stands for ‘Sir’ or ‘Miss’, because that’s how children should address staff. T is for ‘Thank you’, E is ‘Excuse me’ and P is ‘Please’. Every child is taught the importance of these basic rules.
The final S is for ‘Smile’. I don’t want children to go around grinning, but it’s simply shorthand for the friendly body language, facial expressions and tone of voice we teach every child, in every lesson, every day.
We tell children exactly what we expect from them. Nothing is left to chance.
A second highly effective acronym is ‘Slant’: ‘Sit up (arms folded, nothing in your hands), Listen carefully, Ask and Answer questions, Never interrupt, and Track the teacher — that is, look at the teacher when they’re addressing the room.
The opposite of Slant is slouching across the desk, doodling, not listening, not joining in, calling out and ignoring the teacher. We can’t allow that. And what’s ‘oppressive’ about any of this?
When I became headteacher at the Charter Academy in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, the school had been rated ‘inadequate’ by Ofsted for a decade. Two-thirds of children were leaving without basic passes in maths and English.
Within weeks, thanks to the support of an amazing team of staff, we had transformed the place. By the end of the year, the exam success rate had doubled, and it improved again the following year.
The key is not just to tell people the strict new rules —it’s to help teachers develop an outgoing, friendly manner.
As surprising as it may sound, teachers often find it difficult to talk to children outside the classroom.
It’s important to build common ground and lavish positive attention on pupils. It works wonders.
Poison
When the culture of the school is clearly defined and led by the headteacher, most pupils will readily conform. The hierarchy, with adults as boss, becomes well-established and accepted.
But in schools where children see that their louder, more antagonistic peers are in control, hostility towards teachers spreads like a poison.
The quieter pupils, the ‘nice kids’, soon start to push against authority, too.
They become increasingly defiant and aggressive — for their own self-preservation.
When staff and children start to see what a good school looks and feels like, the energy of the place is transformed.
Yes, adults and children work together as a team — but everyone needs to understand that the adults are the captains. None of this is difficult. It might not be fashionable —but it is transformative.
Manners and respect are all too rare in our society.
They’re not ‘restrictive’ — far from it — and it’s high time Ofsted understood that.

WOOD RIVER — A large crew of workers on Tuesday were cutting out bad sections of 6th Street in Wood River from Madison Avenue south to the Roxana village limits.
The removal of the sections will allow for patching and, eventually, the complete repaving of the roadway.
Officials said 6th Street had many uneven areas, left over from previous patch jobs associated with the construction of a storm water drainage basin and the construction of the new Wood River Police Department.
Traffic in the area will be reduced to one lane during the work, and dealys should be expected. Motorists should seek an alternate route until the work is completed. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Wood-River-roadwork-progressing-17408258.php | 2022-08-31T00:17:29Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Wood-River-roadwork-progressing-17408258.php | false | null |

In the video, the man said he carried the lady who charged him N40,000 and that he paid her N50,000 out of his benevolence. He said he was shocked when in the morning after they had finished playing that he couldn’t find his items. The lady initially denied but after much interrogation, she surrendered his items which she had hidden.

Dybala’s brace propels Mourinho’s Roma atop Serie A
By ANDREW DAMPF
AP Sports Writer
ROME (AP) — This was just what José Mourinho had in mind when he lured Paulo Dybala to join Roma instead of a host of other suitors. Dybala scored twice in less than a quarter of an hour for his first goals since joining Roma after his contract expired at Juventus and the Giallorossi beat Silvio Berlusconi’s promoted Monza 3-0 to move atop Serie A. Roma moved one point ahead of Inter Milan after Inter beat promoted Cremonese 3-1 at the San Siro. Defending champion AC Milan was held to a 0-0 draw at Sassuolo. | https://kvia.com/ap-national-sports-3/2022/08/30/dybalas-brace-propels-mourinhos-roma-atop-serie-a/ | 2022-08-31T00:21:47Z | https://kvia.com/ap-national-sports-3/2022/08/30/dybalas-brace-propels-mourinhos-roma-atop-serie-a/ | false | null |
ATLANTA — Julvonnia McDowell remembers getting the phone call no parent wants to receive. It was six years ago and her son Jajuan was visiting a friend on spring break. She called the next few hours a complete blur. By the time McDowell drove four hours to Savannah, she discovered her son had been shot by a 13-year-old who got access to an unsecured gun.
“We were told that our son didn’t make it," McDowell said. "He was 14 years old, had just celebrated his 14th birthday March 7. On April 7, we were planning a funeral. His last 'I love you' is forever embedded in my heart. I take it with me every single day on this journey to keep going.”
Gun violence has had a significant impact in Georgia. According to state data, firearms are the leading cause of death in kids and teens. The mortality rate in the Peach State has been on the rise since 2017, and homicides in particular have had a disproportionate effect on Black boys, especially those ages 15 to 17.
In Atlanta, at least six children under 17 have been killed and even more injured in 2022. On August 27, police said a 7-year-old girl died after she was shot in the head during a family gathering inside an apartment at the Camden Vantage Apartments. The child's mother was charged and denied bond in connection with her death. Another suspect is not yet in custody and is expected to be charged with murder.
Earlier this month, Atlanta Police said an infant died due to trauma. The parents were charged in that case as well.
In breaking down crime where children are caught in the crosshairs, McDowell points to the failure to safely store and secure guns. She said since her own son's passing, she's been able to find community to help give purpose to her pain.
"When guns aren’t properly stored, tragedy can strike," McDowell said. “Conflict resolution, we have to teach that to our children. But most importantly, it’s the easy access to guns."
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis blames a lack of conflict resolution and the amount of guns easily available to the public as contributing factors to children being victims of gun violence.
"People don’t be able to seem to get along in relationships, and we have too many guns in the wrong hands and too much freedom to get guns," Willis said. "But this is a harsh reality. We’ve got to have legislation that doesn’t allow domestic violence abusers to not have guns around them. I think we have to have some serious conversations about something that’s not popular. Everyone doesn’t need a gun.”
McDowell has since joined the Georgia Chapter of Moms Demand Action to try and prevent gun violence. She suggests being "SMART" when it comes to acting responsibly:
- Secure guns in homes and vehicles at all times
- Model responsible behavior around guns
- Ask others about the presence of guns before allowing a child to visit a home
- Recognize guns' roles in suicides
- Tell others about being "SMART"
“Tears still fall without warning, but I’m learning to actually elevate my voice more by telling others make sure if you’re a gun owner, secure your gun at all times and make sure it’s inaccessible to children at all times," McDowell said. “It’s too common for comfort. Firearms are the leading cause of death among children and teens. As adults, we’re responsible for keeping our children safe.” | https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/crime/mother-offers-solutions-recent-violence-against-children-in-georgia/85-f2dadef3-b7a0-4b99-9f3c-026688ef30f9 | 2022-08-31T00:23:40Z | https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/crime/mother-offers-solutions-recent-violence-against-children-in-georgia/85-f2dadef3-b7a0-4b99-9f3c-026688ef30f9 | true | 2 |
WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — Health professionals are reporting more than 130 cases a week of a respiratory virus in Georgia. Many of those cases are in children, and at first glance it's easy to confuse it with COVID-19 or the flu.
It's called Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). 13WMAZ spoke to a Warner Robins mom who's taking all the precautions she can to make sure her little ones stay well.
Kajal Patel has has two children of her own, and she goes the extra mile to make sure they avoid illnesses.
"That they are eating, taking a good quality multivitamin that's got things like vitamin C and good things like that," Patel said.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report an increase in RSV cases among children in Georgia.
While Patel's kids have not contracted the virus, she says it's still a concern for her.
"When they were first getting sick, it really was affecting me. I would get really worried when they were running their fevers, and they're breathing hard, and their chest is thumping. You know, I would get really worried," said Patel.
As a nutritionist, Patel's work involves reducing illnesses in people. She says rest is a priority if she feels one of her kids is getting sick.
"We're really strict about making sure the kids go to bed on time. We like the kids in bed by 7:30, especially during sick season," said Patel.
The CDC recommends children who test negative for COVID-19 get tested for RSV.
Dr. Edward Clark with the Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital says RSV cases usually increase in September, "But with the pandemic, here in the middle Georgia area, it has been fairly consistent."
Patel has one message for parents. "I think it's important as parents that the first sign of our kids being sick with anything that's respiratory, whether it's RSV or something like COVID, is to take it seriously."
We reached out to Piedmont's Infection Prevention Department, and they say to make sure your kids wash their hands for 20 seconds using soap and water. Singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" through twice can help get them there, and if they are sick, the best thing they can do is stay home.
Transmission of the virus can linger on surfaces for a few hours, so using disinfectant wipes around the house can reduce spreading. | https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/health/parents-express-concerns-about-rsv-virus-2/93-f5348bc8-d31c-4dc5-8fcb-ea516fa1201d | 2022-08-31T00:24:04Z | https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/health/parents-express-concerns-about-rsv-virus-2/93-f5348bc8-d31c-4dc5-8fcb-ea516fa1201d | true | 1 |
New Delhi [India], August 30 (ANI): India is likely to benefit from a slowdown in investment intentions in China, said SBI Research in its latest report 'Ecowrap', adding that it believes the China story may now be facing clear headwinds.
"In fact, we believe the China story may now be facing clear headwinds and India is likely to benefit from such stark realities over the longer term," SBI Research report titled 'Frontloading Fed rate hikes and China's worsening construction bubble: is India enjoying the new 'TINA' moment in a checkmate world embracing plus one?' which is authored by Group Chief Economic Adviser Soumya Kanti Ghosh, said.

Clearly, India seems to be enjoying the "There Is No Alternative" factor, as globally all countries are facing the churn and India seems to be the best-placed jurisdiction in terms of growth and inflation outlook in 2022-23.
"We share such optimism as China is also facing a bleak outlook on the back of a construction sector meltdown," the report said.
Also Read | Kerala Shocker: Patient Dies After Ambulance Door Fails To Open for 30 Minutes (Watch Video).
As the population ages, the size of the family will gradually shrink and the demand for housing will eventually decline in the long run in China as seen in Japan, it said.
"The future outlook of the construction sector in China over the long run structural factors such as demographic ageing and rebalancing of the economy will eventually remove a substantial portion of demand."
Citing global tech major Apple's recent decision to shift part production of its flagship iPhone 14 model for worldwide shipping from India, with a negligible time lag of a few weeks posts its slated launch on September 7, SBI Research believes it bears testimony to the optimism of India benefiting from China's slowdown.
It further said the move by the most recognisable face of tech-infused innovation Apple in the last two centuries, that captures aspirations of an upwardly mobile population should open the flood gates for other major conglomerates to follow suit and turn towards India.
"Interestingly, even as China is grappling with a meltdown in the construction sector, housing unit sales in India in H1 2022 (Jan-June) have reached the highest level since H12013. Low-interest rates and comparatively low home prices along with the renewed need for home ownership sparked by the pandemic, have been the primary drivers for this growth."
India's housing sales grew 60 per cent on a yearly basis to 158,705 units during the January-June period. The sales were 19 per cent higher than in the second half of 2021.
On the other hand, since the default by the Evergrande group, once hailed as the toast of Chinese infrastructure resurgence, the financial situation of the construction sector in China has steadily moved southwards. The debt default by the Evergrande group spread to other large and mid-tier construction companies.
The situation, the report said, has been compounded by a strict zero-covid policy that has disturbed the normal flow of activity in the construction sector which is almost entirely labour dependent.
"The near-term outlook of the construction sector to remain challenging because of the uncertainties relating to the Evergrande debt problems and downgrades by international credit rating agencies." (ANI)

All of you that are complaining how do you feel about all the politicians who got PPP loans forgiven? And why did they get them in the first place? You should be more angry about that!
While I agree with the frustration the comments towards the borrowers are a bit much. It wasn’t their decision to allow this. Yes some voted Biden in because of this promise he made but many on both sides will benefit and we as taxpayers will suffer. I agree your debt your responsibility…no such thing as free money!
My wife graduated debt free last year from the University of Texas last December and I will graduate next May with a bachelor's as well debt free. My wife and I have worked hard to not have a bill afterwards. Thank you beans, ramen noodles, and rice helped us accomplish this. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2721911797395/student-loan-forgiveness-how-to-apply-to-cancel-up-to-20k-in-student-debt | 2022-08-31T00:28:44Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2721911797395/student-loan-forgiveness-how-to-apply-to-cancel-up-to-20k-in-student-debt | false | 1 |
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Drug Enforcement Administration issued a warning Tuesday about brightly colored fentanyl pills being distributed across the country.
So-called “rainbow fentanyl” mimics other illicit pills but are made to look like candy and appeal to young people, DEA representatives said in a news release.
Drug cartels are manufacturing Illicit fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that is 50-to-100 times more potent than morphine, and combining it with other drugs. Just a few grains are deadly.
Last year, the DEA launched its “One pill can kill” campaign as a warning. The pills are often blue and have “M” and “30” stamped on them. The rainbow pills have the same markings but are in different colors.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stats released in May show that there were an estimated 107,622 drug overdose deaths in 2021 – a jump of almost 15% from 2020, which was 30% higher than the year before that.
“Rainbow fentanyl — fentanyl pills and powder that come in a variety of bright colors, shapes, and sizes — is a deliberate effort by drug traffickers to drive addiction amongst kids and young adults,” DEA administrator Anne Milgram said in a statement. “The men and women of the DEA are relentlessly working to stop the trafficking of rainbow fentanyl and defeat the Mexican drug cartels that are responsible for the vast majority of the fentanyl that is being trafficked in the United States.”
Some of the product is manufactured in clandestine labs in Mexico. Others are pressed right here in the U.S., officials said.
Authorities in several states are warning of the deadly drug. The Department of Justice announced last week that task force officers seized a large batch of the colorful pills during a bust in Morgantown, West Virginia. In Oregon, officials with the the U.S. Attorney’s Office urged residents to beware of the potentially lethal pills.
In recent months, DEA agents have also pulled thousands of suspected fentanyl pills off Las Vegas valley streets.
Police and prosecutors have charged several young people over the past year with second-degree murder charges in connection with the fentanyl poisoning deaths of other young people. | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/dea-issues-warning-about-deadly-rainbow-fentanyl-pills-made-to-look-like-candy/ | 2022-08-31T00:29:55Z | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/dea-issues-warning-about-deadly-rainbow-fentanyl-pills-made-to-look-like-candy/ | true | 31 |

Indianapolis man arrested in shooting of 3 Dutch soldiers
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis police arrested a man Tuesday in connection with a shooting over the weekend that left one Dutch soldier dead and two wounded.
Shamar Duncan, 22, of Indianapolis, was arrested on a preliminary charge of murder, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said.
Duncan was being held in jail and will not be eligible for release from jail while the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office reviews the case, police said.
Duncan’s arrest did not appear in online court records, and it wasn’t clear whether he has an attorney who might comment on the case.
A 26-year-old member of the Dutch Commando Corps, identified by U.S. authorities as Simmie Poetsema, died of his injuries “surrounded by family and colleagues,” the Dutch Defense Ministry said in a statement Monday.
The shooting occurred Saturday in downtown Indianapolis.
“IMPD detectives want to thank members of the community for their cooperation during this investigation,” IMPD spokesman Shane Foley said. “During the investigation, multiple individuals spoke with detectives and provided detectives with video connected to the investigation.”
Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren expressed concern Tuesday about gun violence in the United States in the aftermath of the shooting.
“We do many trainings of our servicemen in the United States, and we really don’t expect this to happen. So it’s very, very concerning for us.” Ollongren told The Associated Press at a meeting of European Union defense ministers in Prague.
Poetsema and the two other soldiers were shot after what Indianapolis police believe was a disturbance outside the hotel where they were staying about 3:30 a.m. Saturday near several downtown bars and nightclubs, authorities said. The soldiers were in the U.S. for training exercises at a southern Indiana military base.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said Monday that the soldiers had returned to the hotel after a “scuffle” at a bar and were outside when the gunfire came from what he called “a drive-by shooting.”
Indianapolis police declined to confirm Hogsett’s account Tuesday or release more information on the circumstances or the investigation of the shooting.
Ollongren declined to comment on the shooting while investigations continue. She said there is “good contact” between Dutch military police and authorities in Indianapolis.
“We have read things in the media, we have heard what the mayor said but we feel it’s very important to have a real thorough investigation. So we’re waiting for that until we comment on what actually happened,” she said.
Ollongren said U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin contacted her Monday “to express his regrets and his condolences.”
Hogsett said he believed the city’s downtown area was safe and that city officials were working to reduce violence.
“Too often, not just in Indianapolis, conflict resolution has become just people pulling out guns and shooting each other,” Hogsett said.

The Keremeos Creek wildfire, burning southwest of Penticton, B.C., is significantly smaller than it was at the beginning of the month.
The wildfire is classified as being held and currently estimated at approximately 7,000 hectares in size.
“Earlier in the fire, a few weeks ago, we were seeing more aggressive fire behaviour, what we consider rank five, six,” said BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) fire information officer Aydan Coray.
“Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve been seeing lower fire activity, slower to moderate rates of spread, lower amounts of flame visible. There’s still smoke that’s going to be visible while we see low fire activity.”
According to BCWS, in more active areas fire crews are using a combination of direct attack, wet lining, and patrol to extinguish or remove any remaining fuels within the fire’s perimeter.
Currently, 78 firefighters are assigned to the fire with support from three helicopters.
However, BCWS said they had to temporarily halt aerial operations on Monday due to unauthorized drones in the area.
“The presence of drones on the wildfire resulted in a complete shutdown of our aerial firefighting resources for about two hours due to safety concerns,” said Coray.
BC Wildfire says this kind of activity is extremely dangerous and puts crews at serious risk.
“If there was a collision with the drone, it could be deadly. So, there is a zero-tolerance policy for drones on active wildfire areas. In the interest of aircrew and public safety, please keep drones well away from active wildfires,” said Coray.
“Anyone operating a drone that interferes with wildfire operations could be fined up to $100,000 or jailed for up to one year or both.”
Meanwhile, over the next five days, operations will be downsized as fire activity continues to decrease.
“By next week, the camp will get it and Oliver will be demobilized and resource numbers including our ground personnel and helicopters will be reduced,” said Coray.
“We will have resources on standby as needed. But for now, they will be looking at a reduction for next week.”
Although summer is coming to an end, BCWS said fire season is not over yet and are asking the public to stay vigilant and report any suspected wildfires. | https://globalnews.ca/news/9096033/drones-keremeos-creek-wildfire-crews-halt-operations/ | 2022-08-31T00:40:25Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/9096033/drones-keremeos-creek-wildfire-crews-halt-operations/ | true | 1 |

New launch attempt Saturday for NASA's Moon rocket
Issued on: Modified:
Kennedy Space Center (United States) (AFP) – NASA will make a second attempt to launch its powerful new Moon rocket on Saturday, after scrubbing a test flight earlier in the week, an official said.
The highly anticipated uncrewed mission -- dubbed Artemis 1 -- will bring the United States a step closer to returning astronauts to the Moon five decades after humans last walked on the lunar surface.
Blastoff had been planned for Monday morning but was canceled because a test to get one of the rocket's four RS-25 engines to the proper temperature range for launch was not successful.
Mike Sarafin, mission manager of Artemis 1, announced the date for the new launch attempt during a media briefing on Tuesday, and NASA later tweeted that the two-hour launch window on Saturday would begin at 2:17 pm (1817 GMT).
The goal of Artemis 1, named after the twin sister of Apollo, is to test the 322-foot (98-meter) Space Launch System rocket and Orion crew capsule that sits on top.
Mannequins equipped with sensors are standing in for astronauts on the mission and will record acceleration, vibration and radiation levels.
Tens of thousands of people -- including US Vice President Kamala Harris -- had gathered to watch the launch, 50 years after Apollo 17 astronauts last set foot on the Moon.
Ahead of the planned Monday launch, operations to fill the orange-and-white rocket with ultra-cold liquid hydrogen and oxygen were briefly delayed by a risk of lightning.
A potential leak was detected during the filling of the main stage with hydrogen, causing a pause. After tests, the flow resumed.
NASA engineers later detected the engine temperature problem and decided to scrub the launch.
Orbiting the Moon
The Orion capsule is to orbit the Moon to see if the vessel is safe for people in the near future. At some point, Artemis aims to put a woman and a person of color on the Moon for the first time.
During the 42-day trip, Orion will follow an elliptical course around the Moon, coming within 60 miles (100 kilometers) at its closest approach and 40,000 miles at its farthest -- the deepest into space by a craft designed to carry humans.
One of the main objectives is to test the capsule's heat shield, which at 16 feet in diameter is the largest ever built.
On its return to Earth's atmosphere, the heat shield will have to withstand speeds of 25,000 miles per hour and a temperature of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,760 degrees Celsius) -- roughly half as hot as the Sun.
NASA is expected to spend $93 billion between 2012 and 2025 on the Artemis program, which is already years behind schedule, at a cost of $4.1 billion per launch.
The next mission, Artemis 2, will take astronauts into orbit around the Moon without landing on its surface.
The crew of Artemis 3 is to land on the Moon in 2025 at the earliest.
And since humans have already visited the Moon, Artemis has its sights set on another lofty goal: a crewed mission to Mars.
The Artemis program aims to establish a lasting human presence on the Moon with an orbiting space station known as Gateway and a base on the surface.
Gateway would serve as a staging and refueling station for a voyage to the Red Planet that would take a minimum of several months.

After canceling its launch attempt of the Space Launch System (SLS) on Monday, officials from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shared a new launch date for the mission earlier today. NASA's Artemis 1 mission is slated to kickstart its efforts at developing a lunar presence, and the first flight is now slated to launch on Saturday, September 3rd. The launch was postponed as NASA engineers were unable to successfully cool down the rocket's engines before liftoff, and at a teleconference earlier today, they outlined that the data behind this fault has been gathered and is now being analyzed.
NASA officials also explained some differences between the SLS and the Space Shuttle, and other reasons that might have influenced the event to call off the Monday launch.
Faulty Sensor Might Have Led To Scrub Of Artemis 1 Launch On Monday
During the teleconference, NASA's program manager for the SLS Mr. John Honeycutt explained that the reason engineers did not conduct the crucial engine bleed kickstart test during the rocket's first wet dress rehearsal earlier this year was because of a hydrogen leak. The reasons for this leak were fixed by Monday, and while engineers initially did discover some leaking, the vehicle was fuelled up successfully, which then allowed them to move towards the test that involved flowing hydrogen into the rocket's engines prior to liftoff to cool them down.
This test results in the hydrogen taking the heat away from the engine, with each engine having its own bleed system. The system is similar to the one on the Space Shuttle, however, the key difference between the two is that the after the hydrogen warmed up and took the heat away from the engine, it flowed back into the spaceship's tank. On the other hand, for the SLS, the warm hydrogen instead exits the vehicle through a ground vent.
Mr. Honeycutt explained that the position of the third engine - the one that was likely behind the scrub - is unlikely to have caused the malfunction. He added that NASA is checking the temperature sensors to ensure that they are working correctly and that these sensors "are not flight instrumentation" - instead they were "designed to be development flight instrumentation."
He remained confident that once the hydrogen does start flowing from the launch tower and out from the vents into the ground, the flow of the fuel is satisfactory. Later on, the official added that:
I think you know we understand the physics about how hydrogen performs, and it's not, the way the sensor is behaving, it is not, doesn't line up with the physics of the situation. And so we will be looking at all the other data that we have to use it to make an informed decision of whether or not we got all the engines chilled down or not.
NASA has already tested all these engines at its facilities in Stennis, but these tests saw the engine chill commence earlier, the engines were not intended to be as cold as during the Monday run, and the sensors at Stennis were more sensitive. These are the only differences between the Stennis hot fire run and the Monday launch attempt, and the reason NASA decided to wait for the kickstart test on Monday was that a full hydrogen tank would provide for better conditions for the test. The test stand at Stennis had a smaller hydrogen venting line, and the venting system of the SLS was redesigned after the rocket's green run test.
After the Monday run, NASA now plans to start the bleed test roughly 30 to 45 minutes earlier on Saturday confirmed the Artemis 1 flight director Ms. Charlie Blackwell-Thomspon. The engines of the rocket will be at ambient temperatures on Saturday as well, according to Mr. Honeycutt.
As of now, NASA engineers are evaluating the data gathered from the rocket after Monday's scrub. Even though the launch was scrubbed, they continued to evaluate the vehicle as it remained filled with the super chilled liquid hydrogen and oxygen, and this data is currently being analyzed explained the SLS program manager.
Should the Saturday launch attempt go smoothly, with the weather being the only cause of a delay, then teams will be able to turn around the vehicle within 48 hours. The probability of violation right now is at 60%, but the nature of the clouds makes an exact prediction uncertain.
During the Monday attempt, the engines were targeted to be chilled to a temperature of 40 Rankine - roughly 400 fahrenheit. Mr. Honeycutt explained that engines one, two and four were at roughly -410 Fahrenheit while engine three was around -380 Fahrenheit. An earlier conference saw a NASA official misquote the target temperature to 4 Rankine.
Any potentially faulty sensors will not be replaced for the time being since that will require NASA to miss the launch window. Instead, the agency will try to work within the limits of the data that the sensors are showing. The launch window on Saturday will open at 2:17 PM Eastern Time on Saturday. | https://wccftech.com/nasa-struggles-with-faulty-temperature-sensors-on-moon-rocket-ready-to-attempt-launch-again/ | 2022-08-31T01:15:07Z | https://wccftech.com/nasa-struggles-with-faulty-temperature-sensors-on-moon-rocket-ready-to-attempt-launch-again/ | false | 1 |

Canada's Arcade Fire singer denies sexual misconduct allegations
Issued on: Modified:
Montreal (AFP) – Win Butler, the lead singer of Canadian band Arcade Fire, is denying allegations of sexual misconduct made against him by four people, the music magazine Pitchfork reported.
Four sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, alleged to Pitchfork that Butler engaged in "inappropriate" behavior toward them between 2015 and 2020.
The Canadian singer confirmed he had sexual relations with the four people making the allegations, but claimed they were consensual.
"I have never touched a woman against her will, and any implication that I have is simply false," Butler said in a statement to Pitchfork.
"While these relationships were all consensual, I am very sorry to anyone who I have hurt with my behavior," he said, citing past struggles with alcohol and depression.
One of the alleged victims, a non-binary person who was 21 years old in 2015, claimed to have been the victim of aggressive sexual behavior by the singer, who was 34 years old, the US magazine reported Saturday.
The person, identified under the assumed name "Lily," said Butler slipped his hand in their pants when he was driving them home after a meal.
On another occasion, "Lily" said that after opening the front door to Butler, "he pinned me up against the wall and was aggressively grabbing my body and sticking his tongue down my throat."
Three women, aged 18 to 23 between 2016 and 2020, described having interactions which they later deemed "inappropriate given the gaps in age, power dynamics, and context in which they occurred." Butler was aged between 36 and 39 years old during that time.
One of them, identified in the article as "Stella" and who was 18 in 2016, alleged the singer sent her messages and unsolicited photos of a sexual nature.
Butler's wife Regine Chassagne, who co-founded the Grammy-winning indie band, told Pitchfork her husband "has never, and would never, touch a woman without her consent and I am certain he never did."
The allegations came days before the band kicked off their new tour in Dublin, Ireland, on Tuesday.
The group made their comeback in May with their album "We."

NEW YORK — After throwing four simulated innings in Miami on Saturday, Clayton Kershaw said he knew when he would be returning to the Dodgers’ starting rotation but he didn’t want to say.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts knew as well obviously, but he wasn’t ready to say until after Kershaw threw a bullpen session on Monday.
Now we all know.
Kershaw will come off the injured list on Thursday and make his first start since his recurring back problem flared up again four innings into a start at San Francisco on Aug. 4.
Kershaw’s second trip to the IL this season will last slightly shorter than the first. The three-time Cy Young Award winner missed just over a month after a similar flare-up in early May.
The decision to have Kershaw start Thursday against the New York Mets allows the Dodgers to keep giving Dustin May extra rest between starts. Since returning from Tommy John surgery, May has pitched on as little as four days’ rest just once – between his fourth and fifth rehab starts with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Kershaw’s return follows Tony Gonsolin going to the IL with a forearm strain. Roberts had said the Dodgers planned to roll with a six-man rotation for two weeks “bare minimum” after Kershaw’s return. With Gonsolin’s injury now, that will require another promotion for Ryan Pepiot, Michael Grove or another pitching prospect (Bobby Miller was promoted to Triple-A almost two weeks ago).
“The easy answer is we’re going to stick with five (starters),” Roberts said Tuesday. “But it wouldn’t surprise me if we inserted somebody at some point to give guys an extra day. But I don’t know when that’s going to be. I don’t.”

Before Tuesday’s game, the Dodgers sent Monday’s fill-in starter Michael Grove and struggling reliever Phil Bickford to Triple-A and added right-handers Jake Reed and Heath Hembree as fresh arms to a bullpen that covered 15 innings during the four-game series in Miami.
Infielder Eddy Alvarez was designated for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot for Hembree.
Reed had joined the Dodgers in Miami on the taxi squad. Hembree, 33, was a member of the Boston Red Sox bullpen when they beat the Dodgers in the 2018 World Series. He has bounced around five organizations since then. He started this season with the Pittsburgh Pirates, posting a 7.16 ERA in 20 appearances and getting released in June. The Dodgers signed him to a minor-league contract and Hembree had a 4.82 ERA in 10 appearances for OKC.
PLAYOFF PREVIEW
The two best teams in the National League will square off for three games at Citi Field. It could very well be a preview of a postseason series should the Dodgers and Mets continue on their current trajectories.
The Mets still have work to do to hold off the Atlanta Braves, who started Tuesday just three games back in the NL East. The Dodgers, meanwhile, long ago boat-raced the NL West and can view this series as an information-gathering exercise.
“I think we’re looking forward to it because it’s a heckuva ballclub,” Roberts said. “I guess the thing you sort of want to see is how this team is because it’s comprised different than last year. So you just want to continue to gather information. That’s how I look at it. Obviously, the fans are excited to see Mets and Dodgers. I’m looking at it as a potential opponent down the road. But it’s going to be a fun series.
“They’re playing good baseball. They have all year. … All games, I guess, aren’t created equally. We like to think they are in the clubhouse. But it’s going to be an exciting series.”
UP NEXT
Dodgers (LHP Tyler Anderson, 13-2, 2.69 ERA) at Mets (RHP Jacob deGrom, 3-1, 2.15 ERA), Wednesday, 4:10 p.m., SportsNet LA, MLB Network, 570 AM

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A grand jury has indicted the son of a former Alaska lawmaker on charges of murder, manslaughter and evidence tampering in the death of his father, former state Rep. Dean Westlake.
Tallon Westlake was arrested earlier this month. The indictment, released by the state Department of Law, was dated Monday.
Tallon Westlake initially faced charges of manslaughter and evidence tampering.
A charging document filed by the department Aug. 21 said police learned that Tallon Westlake had been staying in a building that is owned by Dean Westlake's girlfriend and had not been paying rent. Dean Westlake planned to evict him, police said they were told.
According to the charging document, police found blood on Dean Westlake’s hands and feet, and his face was bruised and bloodied. Police also described a “heavy bleach smell” in the apartment and wet floors that appeared to have been recently mopped, the document said.
An email seeking comment was sent to the attorney listed on an online court records system as representing Tallon Westlake. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Grand-jury-indicts-son-in-death-of-former-Alaska-17408802.php | 2022-08-31T01:36:59Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Grand-jury-indicts-son-in-death-of-former-Alaska-17408802.php | false | 10 |

TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A Tacoma, Washington jury has awarded $2.58 million to a woman infected with herpes simplex virus, type 2 by her former partner who knew he was infected but did not disclose it to her before they had sexual intercourse.
Shaun Murphy, a partner in the law firm Slovak Baron Empey Murphy & Pinkney, LLP who represented the plaintiff, says that he is pleased with the outcome for his client whose life has been so negatively impacted, and he hopes that it will increase awareness of this extremely important issue.
"I suspect that most people do not know that in every state in the U.S., it is unlawful for any person who has a sexually transmitted disease, when they know they are infected, to transmit the disease to another person through sexual intercourse or to even have sexual intercourse with another person unless they have informed their partner that they are infected with a sexually transmitted disease," said Murphy. "In fact, it is considered fraud to knowingly endanger another person in this way which exposes the person who transmits the STD to potential civil law claims for substantial monetary damages."
"In STD cases like this one, the plaintiff must establish four things to prove fraud was committed against them, which are the same in every state in the U.S.," adds Murphy: that the defendant was infected, that they knew they were infected, that they failed to disclose it, and that they transmitted the infection to the plaintiff."
The jury in Tacoma unanimously found that the defendant knew that he was infected with the herpes virus since the 1970s and that he failed to disclose having herpes to the plaintiff. The jury concluded that the defendant committed fraud by falsely claiming he was not infected when the plaintiff specifically asked him about STDs.
The Washington case is one of several trial victories and settlements Murphy has achieved on behalf of victims of herpes simplex virus transmission throughout the United States. He has achieved the largest verdict in the United States and in the states of California, Washington, and Texas. Murphy has six of the top ten largest reported verdicts and settlements in the United States.
"We truly hope the Tacoma verdict sends a strong message to people throughout the United States who are infected with sexually transmitted diseases that they must disclose having the disease before engaging in sexual intercourse with any others," said Murphy. "It is also important for those who have suffered harm after being infected due to another's negligent or intentional conduct to know they have a legal remedy."

Rare and valuable plant stolen from North Portland shop
PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - It’s not diamond rings, necklaces, or other jewelry this time around. Someone took something you’d naturally find on a hike -- a plant was stolen.
Friday, Aug. 26, an extremely rare and valuable $500 plant was stolen from Reclamation, a plant store in Portland. Ana Kilbourne, the employee who was working at the time, says she feels taken advantage of.
“There’s nothing good that comes from stealing,” Kilbourne says. “Especially from small businesses who are barely getting by.”
She was working a busy Friday shift when three people came walking in, who “just seemed like the kind of people I’d normally talk to in the shop. I’m kind of hurt that they took advantage of me.”
She explains the group came in asking about rare plants, asking if they had “any Albo or Ti” plants. They had two of the Albo plants for sale.
It’s a rare kind of plant, even rarer to get young, as they can grow to a tremendous size. Plus, the color was white, making it even more rare.
She turned her back to help another customer, and she explains the three “came over here,” Kilbourne says pointing at a shelf in the corner of the shop, “and grabbed the plant. He pretended to show his friend, and then turned around and opened his tote bag and shoved the plant in it. They had just gone behind my back and stolen one of our most precious plants for sale.”
The shop has all kinds of plants. Most of them, Kilbourne says, range between $20 and $30. The second most expensive plant in the shop is the Philodendron “Ring of Fire,” costing about $100. The plant that was stolen was $500.
When she noticed it was missing, since the people were so nice to her, she figured she’d misplaced it.
“I even had my mom come in and look for it after we had closed,” Kilbourne says laughing, “and we couldn’t find it anywhere.”
Finally, she asked her boss to check the security cam. Sure enough, they saw it was taken.
Her response?
“Screw you,” Kilbourne says. “You guys really suck and karma’s going to get you.”
She hopes they return the plant, but she’s mostly upset about the lesson she’s learned.
“I’m learning that just because someone is nice, that doesn’t mean they have good intentions,” Kilbourne says solemnly. She says she has made lots of friends while working. “That just really sucks that I’ll have to be more aware.”
The shop claims the trio has stolen from other plant shops in the area and even in Washington, and they hope this message warns other businesses.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2720174491717/howard-and-morehouse-face-off-in-inaugural-hbcu-new-york-football-classic-sept-17-at-metlife-stadium | 2022-08-31T02:04:36Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2720174491717/howard-and-morehouse-face-off-in-inaugural-hbcu-new-york-football-classic-sept-17-at-metlife-stadium | true | 12721 |

Federal lawsuit filed against Arkansas law officers
City of Mulberry, Crawford County named as defendants
A civil case against three Arkansas law officers caught on video beating a man during an arrest in Mulberry has now been filed in federal court in Fort Smith.
Attorney David Powell of Fort Smith filed the civil rights lawsuit on behalf of Randal Ray Worcester, 27. Worcester was beaten by three law officers during an arrest Sunday, Aug. 21 after he allegedly threatened a store clerk in Alma in Crawford County.
Two Crawford County Sheriff's deputies, Zack King and Levi White, and Mulberry police officer Thell Riddle, who are named as defendants in the civil lawsuit, have each been suspended from their departments since the arrest.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson has called the arrest caught on video by a passerby as "reprehensible." A rally for civil rights was held Saturday at the Crawford County Courthouse. Other experts have said the arrest appeared to be a case of excessive force. The U.S. Department of Justice and the Arkansas State Police have opened investigations into Worcester's arrest.
More:Sheriff defends suspended deputies in beating arrest case
Late Monday, Aug. 29, the civil lawsuit alleging the law officers used excessive force during Worcester's Aug. 21 arrest was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas in Fort Smith. The civil lawsuit requests a jury trial.
Worcester has been released from the Crawford County Jail after posting $15,000 bail on complaints of making threats against the Alma convenience store clerk. Powell said he will work toward having any criminal charges filed against Worcester dismissed.
Attorney Adam Rose, who is also representing Worcester, said a response will be made from the defendants within 20 days.
Other defendants named in the lawsuit include the City of Mulberry, the Mulberry Police Department, Mulberry Police Chief Shannon Gregory, Crawford County Sheriff's office, Crawford County, and Sheriff Jimmy Damante.
The lawsuit asks the court for relief for Worcester's medical bills and punitive damages. An amount requested is not listed in the lawsuit petition.
The lawsuit alleges negligence, assault, excessive force, and battery against Worcester by the law officers.
Russell Wood, an attorney representing the Crawford County deputies, said White was knocked unconscious when Worcester tackled him before Worcester was arrested.
According to the complaint filed in the lawsuit, Worcester was riding his bicycle to his home in South Carolina on Sunday, Aug. 21.
The lawsuit alleges Riddle was dispatched to the Kounty Xpress gas station located at 1107 Georgia Ridge Drive in Mulberry. Riddle called for back up from the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department and King and Whiteresponded to the scene.
Worcester was was riding his bike down the road when the law officers followed him for a short distance, and then made a traffic stop.
Mr. Worcester got off his bike as the Defendant Officers approached. Worcester had a small pocketknife in his pocket but immediately gave it to the officers, the lawsuit states.
"Without provocation, defendant White aggressively attempted to put Mr. Worcester’s arms behind his back in an effort to handcuff him, without stating any reason for doing so. At no time did the Defendant Officers inform Mr.Worcester of his Miranda rights when being handcuffed," the lawsuit states.
Officers used violent, excessive force pinning Worcester's hands and arms behind his back.
Officers repeatedly punched, kicked, and kneed Worcester in the face, head, back, stomachand legs as seen on video that was posted on social media.
"At one point, defendant White picked up Mr. Worcester by the head and slammed his face and head into the concrete pavement. Mr. Worcester attempted to protect himself during the Defendant officers’ physical assault, but to no availas the Defendant officers had him pinned to the ground," according to the lawsuit.
"At no point during the incident did any of the Defendant Officers attempt to usede-escalation tactics or subdue Mr. Worcester with a taser and/or pepper spray. Such force used by the Defendant Officers, individually and in their official capacity, was in excess of any force required to take Mr. Worcester in custodyand maintain him in custody, was grossly out of proportion to any need for the use of force," the lawsuit alleges.
The law officers, "acted with malice and/or reckless disregard for whether Mr. Worcester’s rights would be violated bytheir actions."
Worcester has suffered serious bodily harm due to the excessive force used by the officers, the lawsuit alleges.
Russell Wood, an attorney who represents the Crawford County deputies, said Worcester is seen on video charging White and tackling him, causing White to hit his head on the pavement and suffer a concussion before Worcester was arrested.
Wood was unaware of the federal lawsuit when contacted Tuesday afternoon.
“I have no knowledge about a federal lawsuit. However, I will vigorously defend the lawsuit like I do every lawsuit against my law enforcement clients," Wood said. | https://www.swtimes.com/story/news/2022/08/30/federal-lawsuit-filed-against-arkansas-law-officers-in-beating-caught-on-tape/65464290007/ | 2022-08-31T02:07:07Z | https://www.swtimes.com/story/news/2022/08/30/federal-lawsuit-filed-against-arkansas-law-officers-in-beating-caught-on-tape/65464290007/ | true | 1 |

Hundreds of students have gained essential knowledge or experience as participants in the Boule’s “Journey to Success” (JTS) youth development programs. Current JTS initiatives in which Booker students participate include student internships, career explorations, group mentoring, bi-monthly speaker’s program, preparation courses for SAT & ACT college entrance examinations, and college scholarship awards. This summer, the Boule added a new initiative: the Academically Interested Minds (AIM) pre-college summer residential program. Booker High seniors (Class of 2023) Bryson Boyce and Giovanni Roman added to Booker’s extensive list of “firsts” when they successfully completed the program. Both students received scholarships to attend AIM through generous contributions from the Gamma Xi Boule Foundation, and both students returned to Sarasota with college-level experiences and additional scholarships. The five-week residential AIM program at Kettering University-Flint, Michigan included college-level courses in calculus, physics, chemistry, computer programming and communications. The AIM summer experience also included field trips to global corporations. The AIM program recruits forty multicultural high school students with a 3.0 or better grade point average, and a desire to pursue a college degree in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or business. Participants come from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Giovanni and Bryson were awarded AIM scholarships in the amounts of $8,500 a year and $5,000 a year, respectively, for their outstanding participation in the 5-week program. The outstanding performances of the Booker High School students were hailed as “tremendously significant” by Dr. Rachel Shelley, proud principal of Booker High School. “Their success will certainly open the AIM program door for additional Sarasota area students.”

SHANGHAI and HONG KONG, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Antengene Corporation Limited ("Antengene" SEHK: 6996.HK), a leading innovative, commercial-stage global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class and/or best-in-class medicines for hematology and oncology, recently announced its interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and provided corporate updates on key events and achievements since the start of 2022.
"As we celebrate the fifth anniversary of Antengene's founding, we are delivering on our long-term vision to build a global, multi-product biopharmaceutical company that is successfully developing novel and commercializing ground-breaking products in oncology/hematology. I am pleased to report that we delivered excellent 2022 interim results across the three main components of our long-term success, in our commercial product, clinical pipeline, and discovery," said Dr. Jay Mei, Antengene's Founder, Chairman and CEO. "So far this year, we successfully launched our lead first-in-class/only-in-class product, XPOVIO®, in Mainland China and reported product revenue of RMB 53.96 million. The strong sales momentum highlights Antengene's transformation into a commercial organization and demonstrates our team's robust commercialization capabilities in China and the APAC markets. In addition, we progressed three first-in-human programs, and plan to advance one to two more this year. Furthermore, we have entered into two collaborations to evaluate new treatment combinations and innovative new technologies."
Dr. Mei continued, "Looking ahead, we are increasingly enthusiastic about XPOVIO® and believe it is an enabler for Antengene's future growth. Since July 2021, the product has been approved in 4 markets, incorporated in practice guidelines by 5 leading international medical societies, and is currently being studied in 8 trials to substantially broaden the use to encompass earlier lines of therapy, new treatment regimens, and additional hematology, and potentially solid tumor indications."
Dr. Mei commented further, "Turning to our clinical pipeline of differentiated, first-in-class/best-in-class programs, before the end of the year, we intend to report critical clinical data on two mid-stage programs – ATG-016 (eltanexor), a next generation XPO1 inhibitor and ATG-008 (onatasertib), an mTORC1/2 inhibitor, and one Phase I dose escalation program for our ERK1/2 inhibitor, and file one additional IND for an antibody drug conjugate to Claudin 18.2 and completing preparations for an IND filing for the exciting 'don't eat me signal' blocker, anti-CD24 antibody. Our team of over 400 employees across China, APAC regions, and the US, plus our core capabilities in discovery, development, and manufacturing, support our deep and productive early-stage research that is poised to deliver a steady flow of opportunities based on a broad range of novel targets, modalities, innovative technologies, and partnerships."
In conclusion, Dr. Mei said "Looking forward, we believe our cash and bank balances of RMB 2.151 billion, strong near-term revenue growth potential and careful budgetary control will enable overall company growth and development, and support our operations. Cancer is a disease that knows no borders, so we are driven to develop advanced cancer therapies and innovative medicines with differentiated profiles for the benefit of broad patient populations globally and to deliver value for our investors. Antengene is optimistic about this year and the future based on the dedication of our team, and collaborators all around the world. We look forward to updating you on our progress throughout the rest of this year and in the future."

Mid to Late-Stage Programs (Antengene has certain Asia-Pacific rights)
Antengene is exploring two members of the novel XPO1 inhibitors plus a novel mTORC 1/2 dual inhibitor.
- Selinexor (ATG-010, first-in-class XPO1 inhibitor): We are highly committed to the further development of XPOVIO®, with an extensive program in MM and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), including a number of combination developments, that can help expand our label and market. The drug is being tested as a monotherapy or as an add-on to standard therapy in MM, DLBCL, as well as other hematologic malignancies. These programs aim to potentially improve response rates and expand the clinical utility of the drug.
- In May 2022, the Phase I/II SWATCH trial was designed to evaluate selinexor in combination with lenalidomide plus rituximab (SR2) for the treatment of R/R DLBCL and relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R iNHL) dosed its first patient in China.
- Data from the pivotal MARCH study in patients with R/R MM were presented at the 2022 European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Meeting, and published in BMC Medicine.
- Eltanexor (ATG-016, second generation XPO1 inhibitor)
- Phase II segment of the KCP-8602 trial in solid tumors/hematologic malignancies is currently enrolling patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) in China.

Early-Stage Clinical Programs (Antengene has global rights)
Antengene's early-stage clinical programs have differentiated features that could provide distinct competitive advantages to other products in the areas
- ATG-017 (ERK1/2 inhibitor) has potential synergy with checkpoint inhibitors and KRAS inhibitors. The Phase I ERASER study in patients with advanced solid tumors and hematologic malignancies is underway in Australia. Antengene is collaborating clinically with Bristol Myers Squibb to evaluate ATG-017 in combination with Opdivo® (nivolumab) in patients with advanced solid tumors.
- ATG-101 (PD-L1/4-1BB bispecific antibody) was designed to block the binding of immunosuppressive PD-1/PD-L1 and activate immune effectors. The multicenter Phase I PROBE study in patients metastatic/advanced solid tumors and B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) is ongoing in the US, Australia, and China.
- ATG-037 (CD73 small molecule inhibitor) reduces immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. Enrollment in the Phase I STAMINA trial of ATG-037 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors is underway in Australia.
- ATG-018 (ATR small molecule inhibitor) limits DNA damage repair mechanisms in tumor cells. The Phase I ATRIUM Study for the patients with advanced solid tumors and hematologic malignancies dosed its first patient in Australia.
Internal Discovery Program

Business Development
Antengene's business development strategy is focused on partnerships to facilitate clinical collaborations, in-license novel programs, or enable access to novel platform/drug development technologies to complement and enrich our in-house capabilities.
- Entered into a clinical collaboration with BeiGene, Ltd. to evaluate XPOVIO® in combination with tislelizumab in a Phase I/II trial in patients with T and NK Cell lymphoma.
- Entered into a research collaboration with Celularity Inc. to evaluate the potential therapeutic synergy from combining one of Antengene's novel bispecific antibodies with Celularity's cryopreserved human placental hematopoietic stem cell-derived NK cell therapy platform.
- Clinical Programs Poised to Deliver Proof-of-Concept Data in 2022 and 2023 (originated in-house/through partners): The Antengene pipeline has been developed with a particular interest in addressing those mechanisms that underly resistant diseases, and how we can reverse those resistance mechanisms, or modulate the tumor microenvironment in a way that allows the regaining of control of cancer growth. This portfolio is extremely well positioned to allow us to evaluate proprietary combinations, from our pipeline.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A truck collided with a minibus packed with laborers on Tuesday in southwestern Iran, local media reported, killing at least 16 people.
The crash in the impoverished Khuzestan province also injured eight passengers, who were rushed to local hospitals. The truck was on the road linking the city of Shushtar with the city of Dezful when it crashed.
Public mourning was announced by Khuzestan’s officials in the city of Shushtar.
Iran has one of the world’s worst traffic safety records, with some 17,000 deaths annually. The grave toll is blamed on wide disregard for traffic laws, unsafe vehicles and inadequate emergency services. | https://fox4kc.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-truck-collides-with-minibus-in-iran-killing-at-least-16/ | 2022-08-31T02:24:40Z | https://fox4kc.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-truck-collides-with-minibus-in-iran-killing-at-least-16/ | false | null |

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Student loan forgiveness is stirring up intense debate. Critics say the Biden administration isn’t allowed to do what it’s promising and have threatened lawsuits.
President Joe Biden’s announcement about student loans last week came with a lot of questions. One of them was whether the plan is legally sound.
The Biden administration says the 2003 Heroes Act gives the Secretary of Education the power to cancel student debt during a national emergency. They argue the pandemic is just that.
“Congress gave the Secretary of Education in the HEROES Act the authority to do this,” White House Policy Advisor Susan Rice said.
Legal challenges to the plan are still expected.
“It’s going to be up to the courts to decide whether those are valid claims or not. But we believe that we’re on very strong legal ground,” White House Economic Advisor Bharat Ramamurti said.
Those legal threats have some concerned the debt relief could be delayed by lawsuits.
Alan Morrison, an associate dean at George Washington Law School, says he doesn’t think borrowers should be too worried about that.
“I just don’t think it’s likely to happen,” Morrison said.
While Morrison says there are legitimate legal questions about whether the Biden Administration has the authority to carry out their plan, there are also practical considerations.
“The real question is whether anybody can go to court and challenge it,” Morrison said.
He says past precedent makes it unlikely that anyone would have the required legal standing.
“The Supreme Court has traditionally been very willing to say no, this is one of those things that you have to work out in the political area,” Morrison said.
Beyond that, he argues once the loans are forgiven, most courts would be hesitant to undo it.
“I wouldn’t be too worried about you losing that, once you get that piece of paper in your hand,” Morrison said.
So what’s his advice to borrowers who qualify for the relief?
“I wouldn’t think about the legal questions, I would think about what you’re going to do with the money,” Morrison said. | https://www.upmatters.com/news/washington-dc/could-legal-challenges-to-student-loan-forgiveness-delay-relief/ | 2022-08-31T02:29:35Z | https://www.upmatters.com/news/washington-dc/could-legal-challenges-to-student-loan-forgiveness-delay-relief/ | false | 22 |
Schreck was released by the Texans on Tuesday.
Schreck signed with Houston in June after spending the majority of last year on Cincinnati's practice squad. The 28-year-old ultimately played five special-teams snaps during his lone gameday elevation in 2021, and he will now likely attract interest from teams in need of similar reserve depth this regular season. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/mason-schreck-cut-tuesday/ | 2022-08-31T02:30:42Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/mason-schreck-cut-tuesday/ | false | null |

A woman has been taken into custody for the death of ‘Beyond Scared Straight’ star Ashley Tropez.
Ashely’s body was found inside an abandoned home over the weekend.
via People:
The San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department issued a release on Saturday that said officers were called about a dead body ” inside an abandoned house in the 16600 block of Victor Street” at 11:10 a.m. local time on Friday.
When deputies got to the scene, they found the 24-year-old Tropez inside the home, “suffering from traumatic injuries.”
After investing, the sheriff’s homicide unit determined that Tropez and a woman named Alexis Call, also 24, “were familiar to each other and may have been squatting at the residence.”
Call was named a suspect and arrested. She is in the High Desert Detention Center for PC 187(A)-Murder, police said in the release.

It is not clear if Call has retained a lawyer.
Those with information are urged to call Deputy Vanayes Quezada, Specialized Investigations Division at (909) 890-4904. Anonymous tips can be submitted at We-Tip at 800-78CRIME or www.wetip.com.

Russian Media: Ex-Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev Dead at 91
Mikhail Gorbachev, who as the last leader of the Soviet Union waged a losing battle to salvage a crumbling empire but produced extraordinary reforms that led to the end of the Cold War, has died at 91.
- Published
MOSCOW (AP) — Mikhail Gorbachev, who as the last leader of the Soviet Union waged a losing battle to salvage a crumbling empire but produced extraordinary reforms that led to the end of the Cold War, has died at 91, Russian media reported Thursday.
News organizations quoted a statement from the Central Clinical Hospital as saying he died after a long illness. No other details were given.
Though in power less than seven years, Gorbachev unleashed a breathtaking series of changes. But they quickly overtook him and resulted in the collapse of the authoritarian Soviet state, the freeing of Eastern European nations from Russian domination and the end of decades of East-West nuclear confrontation.
His decline was humiliating. His power hopelessly sapped by an attempted coup against him in August 1991, he spent his last months in office watching republic after republic declare independence until he resigned on Dec. 25, 1991. The Soviet Union wrote itself into oblivion a day later.
A quarter-century after the collapse, Gorbachev told The Associated Press that he had not considered using widespread force to try to keep the USSR together because he feared chaos in a nuclear country.
“The country was loaded to the brim with weapons. And it would have immediately pushed the country into a civil war,” he said.
Many of the changes, including the Soviet breakup, bore no resemblance to the transformation that Gorbachev had envisioned when he became the Soviet leader in March 1985.
By the end of his rule he was powerless to halt the whirlwind he had sown. Yet Gorbachev may have had a greater impact on the second half of the 20th century than any other political figure.
“I see myself as a man who started the reforms that were necessary for the country and for Europe and the world,” Gorbachev told The AP in a 1992 interview shortly after he left office.
“I am often asked, would I have started it all again if I had to repeat it? Yes, indeed. And with more persistence and determination,” he said.
Gorbachev won the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in ending the Cold War and spent his later years collecting accolades and awards from all corners of the world. Yet he was widely despised at home.
Russians blamed him for the 1991 implosion of the Soviet Union — a once-fearsome superpower whose territory fractured into 15 separate nations. His former allies deserted him and made him a scapegoat for the country’s troubles.
Te official news agency Tass reported that Gorbachev will be buried at Moscow’s Novodevichy cemetery next to his wife. | https://www.snopes.com/ap/2022/08/30/russian-media-ex-soviet-leader-mikhail-gorbachev-dead-at-91/ | 2022-08-31T02:49:27Z | https://www.snopes.com/ap/2022/08/30/russian-media-ex-soviet-leader-mikhail-gorbachev-dead-at-91/ | true | 36 |

RACHAEL CECIL & KYLE HANSON WIN THE 2022 ONEWHEEL 'RACE FOR THE RAIL' WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Published: Aug. 30, 2022 at 7:42 PM MDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
SKY TAVERN, Nev., Aug. 30, 2022/PRNewswire/ -- Future Motion, makers of Onewheel, today announced that two-time Race for the Rail competitors, Rachael Cecil and Kyle Hanson, won the 2022 Race for the Rail World Championships. Cecil and Hanson each took home a $10,000 grand prize and were crowned the respective women's and men's 2022 World Champions. The replay of the action-packed women'sand men'sraces are available on Onewheel's YouTube channel.
The Race for the Rail is Onewheel's biggest and most ambitious racing competition of the year. Over the two days of competition, twenty of the best Onewheel riders descended on Nevada's Sky Tavern Resort to compete in a boardercross-style race for a chance to claim the title of World Champion and their chance at the $25,000 prize purse.
The competition featured riders who earned a spot in the finals by competing in one of the Onewheel Racing League's two National Qualifying events. Racers were placed into brackets and descended on off-road trails four at a time, with the two fastest riders advancing to the next round.
Both Cecil and Hanson avenged second-place finishes in the 2021 Race For The Rail by taking the top spot in this year's event. In the women's race, Cecil passed the number one ranked rider, Mercedes Silva, on the final turn to seal her victory. Meanwhile, on the men's side, Hanson was able to find clean lines and stick perfect landings off jumps to win.
"This was the most epic moment the Onewheel world has ever seen," said Chief Evangelist Jack Mudd. "The course was more challenging than ever. We built a ramp over a truck, but still, these riders were up for the challenge. To see the emotion at the end of these races was really special. It's what makes the sport so great, and we're lucky to have people like Rachael and Kyle lead it."
This year, the racing was made even more extreme with the rider's use of the brand new Onewheel GT, which packs more power and speed and offers significantly greater foot placement and contouring to maximize control while in rough and challenging terrain.
Future Motion products are available at www.onewheel.com and at select dealers worldwide. Onewheel Pint X retails for $1400 and offers riders a range of 12-18 miles with a top speed of 18mph; Onewheel GT is available for $2,200 and offers riders a range of 20-32 miles with a top speed of 20mph.

TORONTO (AP) — Teoscar Hernández hit a three-run homer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also went deep and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago Cubs 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Kevin Gausman pitched six solid innings to win his second straight decision as the Blue Jays won back-to-back games after losing their previous three. Toronto is in position for an AL wild card.
Guerrero finished with three hits and two RBIs.
Willson Contreras and Christopher Morel hit solo home runs for the Cubs, but Contreras left in the sixth inning with an apparent leg injury. Contreras limped around the bases after his homer.
Gausman (10-9) allowed two runs and five hits, walked one and struck out nine, including five straight Ks in the second and third innings.
Gausman allowed two home runs for the second time in 25 starts this season. He’s given up nine homers on the year.
David Phelps got two outs in the seventh but left after issuing back-to-back walks. Anthony Bass came on and got Nick Madrigal to fly out.
Trevor Richards got two outs in the eighth and Jordan Romano wrapped it up for his 28th save in 32 chances.
Facing his former team for the first time, Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman allowed one run and three hits in five innings, leaving with a 2-1 lead.
Left-hander Brendon Little (0-1) made his big league debut when he replaced Stroman in the sixth but gave up the lead before recording an out. A replay review confirmed that leadoff batter Bo Bichette had been hit by a pitch and Matt Chapman reached on an infield single before Hernández hammered a first-pitch homer to right, his 19th.
Contreras opened the scoring in the fourth with his 21st homer. Seiya Suzuki reached on a two-out single, but Hernández made an exceptional sliding catch on Franmil Reyes’ sinking liner to end the inning.
Stroman escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first by retiring Hernández on a fielder’s choice. That was the first of 10 consecutive outs that ended when Stroman hit Danny Jansen on the left arm in the fifth. Jansen advanced on a passed ball and tied it 1-1 when he scored on Guerrero’s two-out single.
Morel broke the tie with a leadoff homer in the sixth, his 13th, but Hernández answered in the bottom half.
Morel cut it to 4-3 with an RBI double off Bass in the seventh. Guerrero connected off Michael Rucker to begin the bottom half, his 27th.
20-20 VISION
Contreras is the first catcher in Cubs history to hit 20 or more home runs in consecutive seasons.
DROPPING IN
With the roof open at Rogers Centre, a brief rain shower fell before the start of the third inning, with some in the crowd of 33,759 seeking shelter on the concourses. The rain stopped by the end of the inning.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Blue Jays: Hernández returned to the lineup after sitting out Monday because of a sore left foot. ... George Springer was the DH.
ROSTER MOVES
Chicago added RHP Jeremiah Estrada from Triple-A Iowa as a substitute player. Estrada replaced LHP Justin Steele, who went on the restricted list Monday. Steele couldn’t be replaced until three days had passed since his most recent appearance of four or more innings. Steele pitched 5 1/3 innings against the Brewers last Friday.
UP NEXT
RHP Mitch White (1-4, 4.24 ERA) starts for Toronto in Wednesday’s series finale. The Cubs have not named a starter.

Pre-selection questionnaire helps enhance the coliving experience for its dynamic, tight-knit community
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 31 August 2022 - Prospective lessors, also known as members of Casa Mia Coliving, will now be required to complete a pre-selection questionnaire that will enable the company to recommend suitable homes based on their profiles.Designed especially for Casa Mia Coliving by a psychology intern from the National University of Singapore with guidance provided by a faculty member, the questionnaire analyses various characteristics, such as relationship values, openness to experiences, and potentially negative characteristics that may impact a coliving experience. The resultant score helps the company determine potential housemate environments that suit a prospect's personality and how well they would fit into the existing member community.
Existing members have also been invited to take the questionnaire. The robust data gathered from their responses give Casa Mia Coliving a deeper insight into its member community's social and interpersonal dynamics.
"A key challenge of coliving is the perceived lack of control over the housemate selection process. It can be frustrating to live with individuals with opposing or undesirable personalities. Our analytics tool allows us to recommend households that individuals may be best suited for so they can enjoy the best possible coliving experience," said Casa Mia Coliving CEO and co-founder Eugenio Ferrante.
Most Casa Mia Coliving members are working expat professionals in their twenties who have embraced coliving because it is flexible, cost-effective, and allows them to build a strong support network. They value social interactions and have actively participated in Casa Mia Coliving social "rituals" and various activities to deepen relationships with each other.
Results of the analytics tool showed that members share many common characteristics. They demonstrate positive communal behaviours and are tolerant of differences. They are also willing to collaborate on solutions to address issues, contributing to a high housemate satisfaction score.
Added Ferrante: "The Casa Mia Coliving community is central to our members' rich experience and allows them to establish their home away from home with a network of like-minded individuals who are curious about the world and eager to learn new things. This positive membership environment is the foundation of our growth and differentiates us as a renter of choice."
The positive membership environment is reflected in the company's customer satisfaction scores, which show Casa Mia Coliving achieving a high NetPromoter Score among its members, with a current score of 38. The full survey can be found here .
