Newly-launched business advice academy offers a helping hand to women out of work
Women living in the Liverpool city region and who are currently out of work can now access free support for their start-up business ideas, thanks to a new initiative from The Women’s Organisation.
The WO Business Academy is a four week-long programme that entails up to 25 hours’ worth of support and advice. Individuals who enrol can benefit from self-development workshops, business training, and 1-2-1 mentoring with experienced business advisors.
The programme will cover a range of topics from business planning, managing finance to social media and marketing, as well as confidence building, public speaking and resilience. A portion of the learning will be delivered online, with face-to-face sessions also taking place at The Women’s Organisation headquarters at 54 St James Street, in the city’s burgeoning Baltic Triangle.
The programme has been designed to provide learning and development opportunities at no additional cost to the participants. It offers a lifeline for women to enhance their career and employment prospects without it being an further strain on the pocket.
Free workspace and lunch will be provided, along with the chance to connect and collaborate with other local women-led start-ups.
Head of Business Advice Plus at The Women’s Organisation, Sophia Kennedy – pictured above – said: “The ever-intensifying cost-of-living crisis has put additional financial pressure on everybody, not least those who are out of work. Rising food, fuel and energy costs have forced many of us into a position where every pound and every penny counts.
“It has been so sad to see in recent months the impact this has had on our clients and service users – so we hope that the Business Academy might provide a small lifeline to some of those facing the most serious financial insecurity.
“It offers people who are out of work an opportunity to train, upskill and invest time and energy in their personal and professional development, without it being an additional and impossible financial pressure. As well as that though, it offers a unique opportunity to meet other women in similar circumstances, share experiences, share ideas and build a network of support. And that’s so important right now.
“We want to get the message out as far and as wide as possible so that as many women in the Liverpool city region can benefit from the opportunities the programme provides. Our team is ready and eager to help. We’re urging anybody interested to get in touch today.”
The Women’s Organisation is the largest developer and deliverer of training and support for women in the UK. It has supported over 60,000 women and helped to create more than 4,000 businesses since its launch in 1996.

CORONA — Centennial football coach Matt Logan has replayed last year’s playoff loss to Mater Dei in his mind several times.
Centennial gave Mater Dei its toughest challenge of the 2021 season, holding the Monarchs’ offense to a season-low 21 points. The Huskies had chances to win the game, but offensive turnovers proved costly and contributed to a heartbreaking 21-16 loss.
Mater Dei would go on to capture the CIF Southern Section and CIF State Open Division championships.
“There are games that you feel you could have won, and there are those game that you feel you should have won,” Logan said. “That is a game we definitely feel we should have won. We had opportunities, but we just failed to execute in critical moments.”
That loss has provided the returning players and coaches with plenty of motivation this season. Centennial looks to exact some revenge Friday evening when the Huskies host Mater Dei in a televised showdown (Bally Sports West) between two of the state’s premier programs.
Centennial senior linebacker Owen Chambliss said he has been thinking about Friday’s game for the past nine months.
“It left a bad taste our mouths,” Chambliss said. “Ever since that day, we have been working and preparing for another chance.”
Friday’s game is the 12th meeting between these powerhouses. Mater Dei has won three straight to take a 6-5 lead in the series.
“It’s always a great atmosphere whenever we play Mater Dei,” Logan said. “Playing a team of that caliber only makes you better.”
Centennial (2-0) comes into this game ranked No. 3 in the Calhisports.com’s state rankings and No. 7 in the MaxPreps.com national rankings. The Huskies have cruised in their first two contests, including a 42-7 victory over San Diego Cathedral Catholic last week. Centennial scored the first 42 points of the game and did not allow a touchdown until the final quarter.
Cornell Hatcher led the way on offense, rushing for 200 yards and four touchdowns on 18 carries. Izzy Carter threw for 75 yards and a touchdown and also ran for 47 yards and a touchdown. Carson Conklin completed 7 of 9 passes for 103 yards.
Samarai Anderson led the defense with eight tackles. Cedric Williams intercepted a pass, and Marco Coleman recovered a fumble.
Mater Dei (2-0) trailed for much of last week’s game at Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, but the Monarchs scored the final 17 points to come away with a 24-21 victory. Mater Dei is ranked No. 1 in the state by Calhisports.com and No. 2 in the nation by MaxPreps.com.
Elijah Brown leads the offense for Mater Dei. He threw for 228 yards and three touchdowns in the victory over Bishop Gorman. Nasir Wyatt was one of many stars on the defensive side of the ball, registering seven tackles and two of the team’s five sacks.
Logan said execution and protecting the football will be key in Friday night’s game.
“We can’t make the same mistakes we made last year and expect to have a chance to win against Mater Dei,” Logan said.
Carter believes he and his teammates will be ready for this challenge.
“I think we’re even hungrier this season,” Carter said. “We know the importance of putting points on the board anytime we have the football. We need to capitalize on any opportunities we have and make sure what happened last year doesn’t happen again.”

Richie Rich
They fit well without squishing the pillow. In fact, there is a little extra room once zipped on, so you get the full effect of the pillow. I had a hard time finding extra large protectors; glad I came across these.

NUSA DUA – Environment officials from the Group of 20 leading rich and developing nations are gathering Wednesday on Indonesia’s resort island of Bali for talks to spur global climate action and other troubles that have worsened due to the war in Ukraine.
Implementing each G-20 nation's contribution and synchronizing targets among developing and developed countries are to be discussed in the closed-door meetings, Indonesia’s environment minister Siti Nurbaya said before the one-day meeting.
She expected the meeting to produce a joint agreement with three priority issues — sustainable recovery, land-based and ocean-based climate action as well as resource mobilization — to realizing the Paris Agreement, the first universal and legally binding commitment on climate change.
Nurbaya opened the meeting by urging fellow environment ministers to safeguard environmental multilateralism and to make it work, as it is the only way to effectively coordinate efforts to tackle global challenges.
“Environmental multilateralism is the only mechanism where all countries, regardless of their size and wealth, stand on equal footing and equal treatment,” Nurbaya said. “The voices of all countries, North and South, developed and developing, must be heard.”
Indonesia, the holder of this year’s G-20 presidency, ratified the Paris Agreement in 2016. The country is committed to reducing emissions by 41% with international assistance by 2030, or by 29% independently.
U.S. climate envoy John Kerry was among 17 environment ministers and climate officials in addition to over 200 delegates who were attending the talks in person. Top officials from China, Russia and Argentina joined the meeting virtually.
In their closed-door meetings, the environment ministers are seeking for ways to increase efforts to control climate change and prevent a 1.5 degree Celsius rise in global temperatures in line with the Paris Agreement and also searching for commitments from developed countries to fulfill their own climate pledges and climate financing for developing countries.
Russia’s war in Ukraine still overshadows Wednesday's talks as countries raised its global environment impact.
Italy's climate envoy Alessandro Modiano in his speech said the war was having grave consequences on the environment, on food and energy security, on the pandemic recovery efforts as well as on pursuing of sustainable development goals.
“I must therefore stress that my government consider crucial to have in this final text, a clear language that reflects the unjustifiable and unprovoked Russia war of aggression against Ukraine,” Modiano said.
That apparent commitments may be put to the test as the G-20 environment ministers meet in the heavily-guarded Nusa Dua tourist haven to lay the groundwork for the leaders meeting in November in Bali, the mostly Hindu “island of the gods” in the majority Muslim archipelago nation.
In recent years, signs of climate change have become glaring, including in Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago nation of more than 17,000 islands. Last year, Indonesia’s National Disaster Mitigation Agency reported a total of 2,943 disasters, comprising 1,288 floods, 623 landslides and 677 tornadoes.
The agency said most disasters were classified as hydro-meteorological disasters and strongly influenced by climatic conditions. Environment watchdog Indonesian Forum for the Environment has predicted that hydro-meteorological disasters in Indonesia will increase 7% this year.
Despite the worsening impact of climate change, financing for the coal industry continues to accelerate in Indonesia. Between 2014-2019, bank loans for coal-fired power plants alone reached $19.4 billion, involving a number of state-owned banks, according to the government data.
Southeast Asia’s largest economy is a key exporter of coal, palm oil and minerals amid a global shortage in commodities after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Coal exports increased to record levels in March after a brief ban on its shipments early this year to secure domestic supplies.
Members of the G-20 account for about 80% of the world’s economic output, two-thirds of the world’s populations and an estimated 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Vadodara: The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) is looking at a long-drawn battle to curb the stray cattle menace.
While the VMC teams have been partially successful in keeping bovines off the roads during the day, the strays are let loose by their owners in several areas of the city at night.
While cattle were not seen on several roads for a better part of Monday due to strict action by the VMC, they were seen sauntering around freely on the roads in many areas of the western parts like Gadapura, Gotri, Subhanpura.
At some places, cattle had been let out in large numbers. One could also see cattle rearers on motorcycles sitting at various junctions or on the benches in such areas to ensure that they could shoo the animals away if there was any action.VMC’s director for encroachment and security, Dr Mangesh Jaiswal, said VMC teams were in action in the city late in the night.
“We have teams beginning their shift from 10pm as well as 12 midnight to ensure cattle are impounded even in the night. Officials including me are also in the field till late,” he said. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vadodara/confined-during-day-cattle-out-in-the-night/articleshow/93893405.cms | 2022-08-31T09:01:13Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vadodara/confined-during-day-cattle-out-in-the-night/articleshow/93893405.cms | true | 1 |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said Tuesday that an executive order on school safety from June has so far produced a new mobile app, school behavioral health professionals in each county and updated law enforcement training and security assessments.
Lee says more than 10,000 Tennesseans are using the Safe TN app, which allows confidential reporting of school safety concerns.
Beyond in-school professionals, the state's new “988” hotline connects people with mobile crisis providers.
Every Tennessee school has completed a physical security assessment and more than two-thirds of districts have participated in safety training, according to Lee.
Additionally, more than 600 school resource officers have received updated training.
Efforts also include frequent, unannounced checks on school doors and precautions. Every district has received an updated school safety plan template, and law enforcement is providing active shooter training.
Upcoming efforts include a safety guide for parents and schools, updated building security standards and more law enforcement recruitment and training. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Tennessee-gov-Efforts-underway-through-school-17409255.php | 2022-08-31T09:03:47Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Tennessee-gov-Efforts-underway-through-school-17409255.php | true | 12 |

Repeated attacks on Army highlight Pakistan's failure to curb violence in restive areas: Report
By ANI | Published: May 26, 2022 01:45 PM 2022-05-26T13:45:12+5:30 2022-05-26T13:55:08+5:30
Regular attacks on the Pakistani security forces have proved Pakistan's inability to curb violence in the restive areas, especially in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa(KPK). The country's western border continues to remain fragile.
Regular attacks on the Pakistani security forces have proved Pakistan's inability to curb violence in the restive areas, especially in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa(KPK). The country's western border continues to remain fragile.
Repeated attacks have forced the Pakistan Army to continue the deployment of 11 Corps and 12 Corps, reported a Canada-based think tank, International Forum for Rights and Security (IFFRAS).
Although the Pakistan army boasts of its successful "Operation Radd-UI-Fasaad" (RuF) targeted at eliminating the remnants of terrorism, especially from restive areas in KPK and Balochistan, there are critical operational voids in the Eastern front.
Pakistan has failed to establish its writ across several regions in Balochistan, some Federally Administered Tribal Areas(FATA), and KPK where the tribal leaders remain alternate power centres. Even though 5 years of the RuF operation have passed, security forces in Pakistan continue to face high casualties in the restive areas of KPK and Balochistan.
Over 152 incidents were reported in these areas wherein 323 security forces personnel were killed whereas 186 were injured, this year. The recent nature of attacks by the separatist groups of the regions reveals that they have devised better tactics alongside effective weapons, reported IFFRAS.
Coordinated attacks with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), and grenade throwing, have led these separatist groups to launch attacks on security forces with greater precision and planning including sniping
Further, regular border skirmishes along the Durand line have made the situation even more fragile. Although Pakistan troops were present at KPK, they failed to prevent the separatist groups from striking. The fate of Balochistan remains the same as the groups continue to carry out attacks at regular intervals, reported IFFRAS.
A lack of local support and intelligence to security forces has led to a surge in the number of attacks. Such attacks remain persistent because while only militant groups engaged in violent activities against the State of Pakistan face action, those having extra-territorial operations are completely ignored.
In addition, the Pakistan government's reluctance and lack of resolve to act against some of these groups have posed serious domestic challenges as well. Blatant violations of human rights conventions by Pakistan Security Forces like the indiscriminate and ruthless employment of heavy calibre weapons against the separatist groups to establish control of the situation have also added fuel to the attacks.
Balochistan has been striving for independence from Pakistan owing to the latter's continued oppression. Although Balochistan is the largest province and contributor of vast natural resources, it receives only 9 per cent of the total China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) share while 50 per cent of the projects have been captured by Punjab alone, reported IFFRAS.
These rising number of attacks indicate that the RuF operation was unsuccessful in counter-terrorism. Besides, since the Pakistan political establishment has abdicated its responsibility to set a sustainable political objective, the Army has done the same. This might be one of the primary reasons for the operation being ineffective.

Charlbi Dean: Triangle of Sadness actress and model dies at 32
- Published
South African actress and model Charlbi Dean, who starred in award-winning film Triangle of Sadness and TV series Black Lightning, has died at the age of 32.
Dean had a breakout role opposite Woody Harrelson in Triangle of Sadness, which won the top prize, the Palme d'Or, at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
In Black Lightning, based on DC Comics characters, she appeared as Syonide.
Dean's representatives said her death in hospital from a sudden unexpected illness was "devastating".
In writer and director Ruben Ostlund's Triangle of Sadness, Dean played Yaya, one half of a model couple who were invited on a cruise that goes horribly wrong.
The film is a biting social satire that sees models and the ultra-rich have their status undermined by unexpected events. It is set to be released in October and also expected to be in the 2023 Oscar running.
Speaking about the film before it was crowned at Cannes in May, she told the Associated Press: "For me, I'm like, I've already won. I'm already at Cannes with the movie. That's so unbelievable. Anything is just a cherry on top at this point for me."
Born and raised in Cape Town, Dean became a childhood model, adorning the covers of the South African editions of GQ and Elle, before making her acting debut in the 2010 film Spud - an adaptation of a popular South African novel that also starred Troye Sivan and John Cleese.
She went on to appear in such films as Death Race 3: Inferno and Blood in the Water, as well as Don't Sleep and Porthole.
Dean, who survived a near-fatal car accident in 2008, was engaged to model Luke Volker, who posted from Cannes that he "couldn't be more proud" of her. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-62735665 | 2022-08-31T09:22:04Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-62735665 | false | 3 |

LONDON (AP) — Inflation in the European countries using the euro currency hit another record in August, fuelled by soaring energy prices mainly driven by Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Annual inflation in the eurozone’s 19 countries rose to 9.1% in August, up from 8.9% in July, according to the latest figures released Wednesday by the European Union statistics agency.
Inflation is at the highest levels since record-keeping for the euro began in 1997.
Energy prices surged 38.3%, while food prices rose 10.6%. Prices for goods were up 5% and the cost of services rose 3.8%. | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Inflation-hits-9-1-in-countries-using-euro-17409339.php | 2022-08-31T09:31:23Z | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Inflation-hits-9-1-in-countries-using-euro-17409339.php | false | null |

Exclusive: 'He Could Do It' - Glen Johnson on Trent Alexander-Arnold Playing in Midfield
The debate surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold's best position being in midfield has been going on for years.
Most recently, Gareth Southgate played the 23-year-old in the middle of the park for England, adding more fuel to the fire.
Jurgen Klopp was very vocal about this switch of position for Trent, claiming that Southgate got it wrong.
"Why would you make the best right-back in the world a midfielder? I don't understand that really," Klopp said.
"As if the right-back position is not as important as the others. People who say that I struggle to understand how you could think that."
Despite the German insisting Trent is a right-back, some fans have proposed the idea of playing him in midfield due to the Reds' current issues in that position.

In a recent interview with LFC Transfer Room on behalf of BookiesBonuses.com, former Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson was asked if Trent could eventually be moved into midfield.
“No, I think it's off the cards. Everyone always talks about attacking defenders playing in midfield but they're great at what they do from that position. Also, when you put them in midfield, you don't know if it’s going to work and, who's going to play right back?
“So no I don't think that's an option at all. I just think Trent might need a little bit more confidence and realise how good he is and get back to what he's good at.
“Of course he could do it for the odd game here and there but I don't think it would be a long term solution.”

Fort Saskatchewan woman arrested twice in August for stealing catalytic converters: RCMP
A 42-year-old woman from Fort Saskatchewan is facing more charges related to catalytic converter theft after RCMP allege they caught her in the act for the second time in three weeks.
On Aug. 9, RCMP arrested Amy Lynn Gummeson after a Fort Saskatchewan resident reported she "cut something off the bottom of the vehicle and rode away on a bicycle."
Mounties said Gummeson had two catalytic converters, a saw and bolt cutters in her possession at the time.
Four charges were laid against her, including theft from a vehicle, and she was scheduled to be in court on Aug. 18. A justice of the peace released Gummeson with conditions, RCMP said.
Then on Aug. 29, police arrested Gummeson again after an alleged catalytic converter theft on Santana Crescent in Fort Saskatchewan. A man was also arrested near the scene.
"RCMP responded immediately and located a male and female hiding from police in a nearby pickup truck, who were subsequently arrested. A power saw and a cut catalytic converter were located with the two suspects upon arrest," Const. Lauren Mowbray wrote in a news release.
"Fort Saskatchewan RCMP are committed to reducing property crime. This incident was an excellent example of how the community reported suspicious activity in their neighbourhood, resulting in offenders being brought before the justice system."
Gummeson was charged with:
- Possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000
- Fail to comply with a release order condition (x2)
- Possession of break-in tools
- Mischief under $5,000
Vincent James Whitford, 39, from St. Albert was also charged with:
- Possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000
- Possession of break-in tools
- Mischief under $5,000
- Failing to comply with a probation order
Both have been remanded into custody and are scheduled to appear in Fort Saskatchewan provincial court on Sept.1. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/fort-saskatchewan-woman-arrested-twice-in-august-for-stealing-catalytic-converters-rcmp-1.18440897 | 2022-08-31T09:33:12Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/fort-saskatchewan-woman-arrested-twice-in-august-for-stealing-catalytic-converters-rcmp-1.18440897 | true | 1 |

Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Miftah Ismail on Wednesday said that a decision to allow the import of food items from India would be taken after evaluating the supply position and consulting with coalition partners and key stakeholders.
Taking to social media, Miftah said more than one international agency has approached the government to allow them to bring food items from India through the land border.
“The government will take the decision to allow imports or not based on supply shortage position, after consulting its coalition partners and key stakeholders,” he said.
The development comes after floods caused by record-breaking torrential rains have devastated the north and south of the country, affecting over 33 million while causing large-scale infrastructural damage.
On Monday, the finance minister said Pakistan will consider importing vegetables from India to mitigate floods fallout.
"We can consider importing vegetables from India," Miftah told local media.
Turkey and Iran could also be other options, he added.
Pakistan’s agriculture sector has faced the major brunt of the natural calamity, as food prices have risen significantly in many parts of the country. For instance, tomatoes are being sold for Rs400-500 per kg while onions are available at Rs150-200 per kg.
Earlier, the Pakistan Fruit and Vegetable Importers Exporters Merchants Association (PFVA) on Monday called for the immediate abolition of duties and taxes on the import of onions and tomatoes in Pakistan, while calling for restarting trade with India.
“To meet the demand of onion and tomatoes in the country, we have to initiate import from India,” PFVA Patron-in-Chief Waheed Ahmad had told Business Recorder.
Pakistan expects a hit of $10 billion to the economy due to flooding, said Miftah.
Being an agricultural country, Pakistan heavily relies on monsoon rains for its crops and to replenish lakes and dams, but it can also bring destruction. Moreover, the flooding could not have come at a worse time for Pakistan, where the economy remains engulfed in rising inflation and depleting forex reserves. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40194863/imports-from-india-decision-to-be-taken-after-evaluating-supply-situation-says-miftah | 2022-08-31T09:46:00Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40194863/imports-from-india-decision-to-be-taken-after-evaluating-supply-situation-says-miftah | false | 2 |
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, 97, was hospitalized Wednesday after testing positive for COVID-19, his office said.
"Mahathir has been admitted to the National Heart Institute for observation for a few days as advised by the medical team," it said in a statement. It didn't provide further details on his condition.
Mahathir, who was Malaysia's prime minister for two different periods, once was the world's oldest leader. He has had two coronary bypass surgeries but remains robust and sharp witted. He was admitted several times to the same hospital earlier this year.
Mahathir later said he was hospitalized after experiencing shortness of breath due to a shortage of red blood cells. He later had a pacemaker implanted but acquired an infection during the surgery. He has said he thought he was dying at that point but somehow made a recovery.
Mahathir ruled Malaysia initially for 22 years until his retirement in 2003. Spurred by anger over government corruption, he led the opposition to a historic election victory in 2018 that ousted the governing party in the first peaceful transfer of power since Malaysia's independence in 1957.
Mahathir became the world's oldest leader at 92 for a second stint but that triumph lasted only 22 months as his government collapsed due to defections. Mahathir formed a new ethnic Malay party in 2020 and a Malay alliance this year to contest elections due next year.
Mahathir said in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this month that he plans to contest the polls "If I am strong enough, if I am healthy enough, if they want me to contest, I will contest." | https://m.startribune.com/ex-malaysian-leader-mahathir-97-hospitalized-with-covid-19/600202546/ | 2022-08-31T09:54:22Z | https://m.startribune.com/ex-malaysian-leader-mahathir-97-hospitalized-with-covid-19/600202546/ | false | 6 |
Crab omelette, Khao Soi, and Sai Krok Isan are applauded for their taste and creativity.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is pleased to report that three distinctive and delicious Thai dishes have been included in CNN Travel’s list of 50 of the best street foods in Asia.
They are crab omelette, Khao Soi curry noodle soup, and Sai Krok Isan (Northeastern-style pork sausage), and they take their place among other wonderful and diverse street food dishes and beverages from around Asia on the CNN Travel list that celebrates the region’s “bottomless culinary talent and passion for food”.
Mr. Yuthasak Supasorn, TAT Governor, said “It’s always pleasing and extremely rewarding to see Thai dishes honoured with such distinction, and it reinforces the position of Thai cuisine in all its forms as one of the world’s best loved and best-known cuisines.”
This is what CNN Travel had to say about these superbly delightful Thai dishes:
Crab Omelette
“After you’ve had a khai chiao pu (a Thai crab omelette), it’s hard to understand why all egg dishes don’t taste this good. Crab and eggs are a match made in heaven – and the crispy edges, fluffy texture and a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce takes this wok-cooked dish to the next level.”
Khao Soi
“A staple in Northern Thailand, khao soi – curry noodle soup topped with deep-fried egg noodles – hits the spot. Vendors ladle gorgeously golden bowls of hearty, creamy, chilli-laced coconut broth over a bed of egg noodles with chicken legs or beef. On the side, you will often find mustard greens, freshly chopped shallots, lime wedges, and chilli paste.”
Sai Krok Isan
“Sai krok Isan – short and plump pork sausage – is one of the most commonly devoured street foods in Northeastern Thailand. Sour and garlicky, it’s usually made from pork, sticky rice, and garlic then hung up to ferment and dry. Herbs and spices vary from vendor to vendor, while condiments like ginger, chillies and cabbage typically round out the perfect bite.”

NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2022 /CNW/ -- Huion, dedicated to designing and manufacturing pen tablets, pen displays and relevant accessories, launched the 1st generation of Huion Note on August 31, 2022 (Shenzhen, China).
Compared to the Huion regular pen tablets and pen displays, Huion Note is portable. The ideal dimension and premium PU leather cover make its overall shape delicate, and the simple but high-end design makes it an elegant feel.
This digital notebook can be widely used by business people, office workers, and campus students to improve working efficiency without changing the traditional method of taking notes.
It's compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, meaning the users can dive into the unit on the go.
What Makes It Outstanding?
- Battery-free Digital Pen
Huion Note comes with Huion Scribo 2, the second generation of Huion Scribo, which uses the passive EMR technology for battery-free. It's powered by PenTech 3.0 to shorten retraction distance and ensure accurate lines and strokes. That helps to provide a better writing experience. Huion Scribo 2 supports 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity to bring users a smooth writing feeling. - Bluetooth 5.0
Bluetooth 5.0 is not the latest technology but is leading the market's competitors. To pair the device, we can scan the QR code on the Huion Note (download and install the Huion Note APP on your phone/tablet first) or select "Huion Note" on the list of paired devices. - Additional Functions
- Time-synced notes
- Add recordings
- Notes & audio playback simultaneously
- Support merging & splitting notes
Huion Note is feature-rich and properly applies to office people and students. For instance, it supports synchronizing users' notes on Huion Note to their phone/tablet in real-time.
What's more, Huion Note allows you to record the sounds simultaneously while taking notes, and it resembles what you thought at the moment when you made a note. That's why we say it's perfect for people who need meeting minutes and taking notes.
Final Words
With a 1300mAh battery, Huion Note has a long battery life of 18 hours. It's convenient for the users to sketch and take notes anytime, anywhere.
Huion Note marks an essential innovation: the appearance and its technology. You can expect its promising performance, and we believe Huion will never let you down.

NEW DELHI: Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Wednesday met his Bihar counterpart
Nitish Kumar, deputy CM and RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav and other senior leaders of the grand alliance in Patna.
Rao's meeting with Nitish and Tejashwi assumes political significance amidst the ongoing political slugfest between the Grand Alliance and
BJP in the state. KCR has been advocating a non-Congress, non-BJP front at the national level as, according to him, both the national parties "failed in developing" the nation.
KCR will also be paying cheques of compensation to family members of soldiers who were killed in the stand-off with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh.
Earlier on January 11 this year, Tejashwi and three other RJD leaders had met KCR in Hyderabad.
Taking a dig at Nitish Kumar and KCR, BJP leader Sushil Modi said their meeting is a "get-together of two daydreamers".
"It is a meeting of two daydreamers who have no standing in front of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi," the BJP leader told reporters.
He dubbed the meeting as the "latest comedy show of opposition unity." | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/telangana-cm-kcr-meets-nitish-kumar-tejashwi-yadav-in-patna/articleshow/93901714.cms | 2022-08-31T10:02:23Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/telangana-cm-kcr-meets-nitish-kumar-tejashwi-yadav-in-patna/articleshow/93901714.cms | true | 1 |

Having a high-protein lunch gives you plenty of energy to function for the rest of the day. Protein is essential for both adults' and kids' muscle growth and repair. Amino acids, sometimes known as the body's building blocks, make up protein.
It's usually more difficult than expected to pack a lunch that is fun, healthy, and filling. You need something to look forward to during the day that will also fill you up and give you energy till dinner. Protein can be helpful in this situation. In this article, we discuss the best protein-rich recipes that you can consume for lunch on an energy-packed day.
Here are 7 protein-packed lunch recipes that will keep you satiated throughout the day:
1. Chickpeas and brown rice
Chickpeas are a great protein source for vegetarians and vegans. They are also extremely versatile to cook and can be consumed a few times weekly. Chickpeas curry is very common in India and other parts of the world. Prepare this recipe by making chickpeas curry and serving it with boiled brown rice.
2. Grilled chicken breast and veggies
If you want to increase your protein consumption, chicken breast is a great option. Chicken offers a variety of B vitamins, as well as minerals like zinc and selenium, in addition to protein. Chicken is extremely versatile to cook. Make this recipe by grilling a chicken breast till cooked. You can serve it with other nutritive veggies such as green leafy vegetables, carrots, capsicums, etc.
3. Tofu curry and roti
Tofu is prepared from condensed soy milk. It is then pressed into firm white blocks, much like cheese. Tofu is a very common vegan protein source globally, though its origins are in China. Tofu similar to paneer can be cooked into curries, bhurjis, sandwiches, stews, etc. Prepare butter masala tofu and other curry variations and serve with whole wheat rotis.
4. Paneer salad
Paneer also known as cottage cheese is a commonly consumed cheese. It is high in protein while also being low in fat and calories. It is abundant in nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, selenium, vitamin B12, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and many more. Similar to chicken and tofu, paneer is also very versatile and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Prepare this salad by combining fresh cubes of paneer, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, capsicums, etc. into a bowl. Adding seasoning and dressings to this to further elevate the taste.
5. Egg sandwich
One of the most nutrient-dense foods is whole eggs. They are a great supply of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and antioxidants as well as a wonderful amount of easily absorbed protein. You can prepare this recipe by mashing hard-boiled eggs and combining mustard, ketchup, or any other dressing to it. Now, spread this thick paste-y filling to your bread and enjoy it as it is or grilled.
6. Sprouts and nuts salad
If you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, lentils are a great option because they are one of the richest sources of plant-based protein you can eat. Furthermore, they contain a variety of additional nutrients, including fibre, folate, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, and manganese. Prepare this salad by combing sprouted lentils, finely diced veggies (cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, etc.), and finely chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, pistachios, etc.). Adding seasoning and dressing to further elevate the flavour.
7. Grilled salmon and quinoa
Fish is rich in Iodine, selenium, and vitamin B12, making it a superior source of protein and vitamins and minerals. Quinoa as well includes all nine of the essential amino acids that your body cannot produce on its own. Due to this quinoa is frequently referred to as a complete protein. It contains more protein than many cereals and is strong in fibre, folate, copper, iron, and zinc. Prepare this recipe by grilling some salmon and seasoning with salt, pepper, lemon, etc. Serve with boiled quinoa which works as a healthier rice alternative.
In conclusion, these recipes will ensure your lunches are packed with protein and deliciousness. These recipes are also extremely versatile. You can prepare them in various other ways and change the flavour by experimenting with various other herbs and condiments.

Rendezvous, Barbados--(Newsfile Corp. - August 31, 2022) - Triton & West will hold their European Annual Investors Meeting in Monaco. The meeting will be held on Friday 9th September 2022 and is normally only accessible to existing clients.
Triton & West routinely hold three annual investor meetings, one in Europe, one in the Asia Pacific region and one in North America. The European Annual investors meeting will be held in Monaco this week and is open to both existing clients and potential new clients who have secured an official invite. Speakers at the annual meeting will include economists, senior analysts, and members from the Board of Directors as well as an array of guest speakers.
Investors usually come to these annual meetings to understand which direction the company plans to allocate capital towards and to gain a forward-looking insight into the economy and macroeconomic trends. This segment is referred to as "Market Insights" and is usually followed by a Q&A which provides the attendees an opportunity to ask the speakers anything they wish to have more information or clarification on. Last year's virtual meeting due to the pandemic addressed concerns from investors surrounding the state of the economy and how Triton & West plans to mitigate the economic tailwinds presented by the pandemic. This year the focus will most likely be directed towards inflation and the companies' ability to effectively hedge against it.
The event hosted by Triton & West is usually packed with guest speakers from some of the world's largest hedge funds and S&P 500 companies. No public announcements have been made in relation to guest speakers. However, a source with an invite to the annual meeting has confirmed there will be a guest speaker from one of the top ten largest companies in the world by market capitalization, as well as C-suite executives from three of the largest investment banks.

Altria Group (NYSE: MO) is a leading player in the tobacco industry, and its stock has long been a go-to for investors seeking high dividend yields. On the other hand, the company's core business is facing some serious headwinds -- and some of its biggest growth bets haven't been panning out.
If you're thinking about investing in the tobacco giant and wondering what comes next for the company, read on for bull and bear cases on the stock presented by two Motley Fool contributors.
The bear case for Altria
Rich Duprey: As an Altria shareholder, I may seem an odd choice to offer a bearish opinion on it, but it's because of that holding that I can see why investors may be -- or perhaps ought to be -- cautious before investing in this tobacco stock. So here are the big three reasons I think an investor should be bearish about Altria.
1. Juul's downfall: While the ban of Juul Labs' e-cigarettes from the U.S. market has been temporarily put on hold by an appeals court, Altria's $13 billion investment in the company is still all but worthless. Juul's e-cig has lost tremendous market share since it became the focus of the Food and Drug Administration's campaign against teenagers vaping. Where it once held 75% of the market, Juul is now in second place with a 29% share, and fading behind British American Tobacco's (NYSE: BTI) Vuse brand. True, the federal appeals court did order the agency to review Juul's application again, but the damage has already been done.
2. Likely loss of its partnership with Philip Morris: The marketing and distribution agreement between Altria and Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM) will undoubtedly come to an end now that its IQOS heated tobacco device has been banned from being imported into the U.S. While the global tobacco company is looking for ways to do an end run around the U.S. International Trade Commission's decision, Philip Morris has agreed to buy top nicotine pouch producer Swedish Match (OTC: SWMAF), whose Zyn brand directly competes against Altria's own On! brand. If Philip Morris chooses to enter the U.S. market with a future e-cigarette product, it will have its own, so it will no longer need Altria.
3. Declining tobacco market. It's no secret that cigarette smoking is in a secular decline, and while the addictive qualities of nicotine give it a captive audience, which allows it to raise prices at will and remain profitable, the stigma of smoking is not going away. Moreover, inflation is driving some consumers to switch to lower-priced brands. So even though Altria's Marlboro brand still controls nearly half of the cigarette market, its dominance continues to erode.
I may still like Altria for my own portfolio, but there's a very strong case to be made against buying this sin stock.
The bull case for Altria
Keith Noonan: Regulatory pressures and other factors have led to massive writedowns on Altria's $12.8 billion investment in vaping specialist Juul, and it seems unlikely that unit sales volumes for cigarettes will return to growth any time soon. However, there's still a lot to like about this stock at current prices. The company's brand strength and the addictive nature of its products give it pricing power and should continue to ensure solid sales and earnings performance. Even better, there's not much more downside to that big Juul investment, and it's still possible that the vape company will emerge from the mire of public and regulatory pressures to post performance that's better than the market's basement-level expectations.
For a relatively stable consumer-goods business, Altria offers a dividend profile that's tough to beat. At the current share price, the company's dividend yields roughly 7.9%, and it has a stellar payout-growth pedigree. Altria has increased its annual payout for 53 years consecutively, placing it among the ranks of Dividend Kings, and the business's impressive free-cash-flow generation suggests it's in a good position to continue delivering reliable payout increases.
In today's volatile market, there's a lot to like about non-prohibitively valued stocks that can reliably generate big yields. With management guiding for earnings growth between 4% and 7% this year and shares trading at roughly 9.5 times this year's expected earnings, Altria stock stands out as a worthwhile, low-risk buy for income-seeking investors.
Should you buy Altria stock today?
For investors who are open to investing in sin stocks, Altria's reasonable valuation and strong dividend profile could make the stock an attractive income-generating vehicle in today's volatile market. On the other hand, sales volumes in the company's core tobacco business will likely continue to decline over the long term, and its biggest efforts to diversify into the e-cigarette market have produced disappointing results.
For the near term, Altria shares offer an impressive dividend yield and should prove relatively sturdy in the event of more turbulence for the broader market, but investors should still keep the company's long-term risks in mind.

In the early days of crypto, altcoin was a catch-all term to describe any crypto that wasn't Bitcoin. And for obvious reasons: Bitcoin led, and everyone else just followed. Subsequently, though, there has been a much-more nuanced understanding about the different types of altcoins available to investors, ranging from stablecoins to staking coins.
In 2022, we've already seen the potential of altcoins to lead a market higher, irrespective of what Bitcoin might be doing. Ethereum, for example, has been a summer standout, far outpacing Bitcoin's performance during the same time period. Here are some of the best candidates to lead the market higher in the final months of 2022.
Altcoins to help investors beat inflation
All eyes are seemingly on the U.S. Federal Reserve these days now that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has made inflation-fighting the focus of monetary policy. That means more interest rate hikes ahead. Powell warned that there could be "some pain" for consumers along the way, so one way to minimize that pain is with crypto investments that are going to provide a hedge against inflation.
One option here could be staking coins, which are coins that enable the holder to earn rewards or interest in exchange for lending these coins out to someone else. Depending on which coins you stake, your rewards will differ. Right now, for example, Crypto.com offers more than 40 different coins for crypto staking.
This represents an opportunity to earn as much as an extra 14.5% on your crypto investment. On Crypto.com, staking a popular crypto like Polygon will earn you 7% in annual rewards. As a rule of thumb, you should be looking for staking coins that offer rates that outpace inflation. Just be careful about a staking coin that promises absurdly high rates -- this could be a clue that it is too risky for most investors.
GameFi
The GameFi genre refers to all coins in which users can earn crypto rewards from playing online games. (GameFi is just a portmanteau of "game" and "finance.") There are various iterations of this genre, including play-to-earn and move-to-earn. Basically, the better you play these games, the more crypto you can earn. And the more you play these games, the more you will need to acquire in-game governance tokens to power different activities. This leads to the corollary that the more popular a game is, the more popular its in-game token should be.
In 2022, the premier move-to-earn token is STEPN (CRYPTO: GMT), which powers the popular move-to-earn game of the same name. This is a game on the Solana blockchain, and it has rapidly become one of the most popular games right now in the blockchain space. As an investor, you can gain in two ways: You gain from the price appreciation of the governance token, and you gain from in-game crypto rewards. Over time, this can be very lucrative as long as a game remains popular.
Layer 1 Ethereum competitors
Finally, there is money to be made by speculating on Layer 1 Ethereum competitors, including Solana and Cardano. Right now, Avalanche is probably a little too hot to handle until it clears up some of the controversy surrounding it. And keep your eyes out for up-and-coming Layer 1 solutions that promise to be faster, cheaper, and more efficient than anything available today. One of these, for example, is Aptos, which is so new it doesn't even have its own token yet.
The logic here is simple: Investors could decide to move on from Ethereum after the Merge, which is supposed to upgrade the blockchain and make it more efficient. There may be some profit-taking in September, as investors pull back after a fun summer ride. Or, they may start hearing stories that gas fees on Ethereum are still too high, or that the Merge didn't achieve as much as promised. That could lead investors to search out Layer 1 Ethereum competitors that are not encumbered with all these problems.
The altcoin rally
With the end of the summer comes a new season: altcoin season. It's time to start thinking about which cryptos are going to skyrocket higher over the next few months. Bitcoin may remain on the sidelines and not participate in this rally, and that's perfectly OK. We've come a long way since Bitcoin was the only coin that could lead a market higher.

LONDON, Aug 31 (Reuters) - John Lewis (JLPLC.UL) said it would recruit 10,000 Christmas staff for its department stores, Waitrose supermarkets and online operations, adding that all its workers would receive free meals in the period to help with the rising cost of living.
The British retailer, which is owned by its employees, said it would offer 4,000 seasonal roles in its 331 Waitrose shops, 2,000 in its 34 John Lewis stores, and 4,000 in its supply chain through recruitment agencies.
Britain's labour market has been tight since the end of the pandemic, with unemployment levels close to half-century lows despite the Bank of England warning that the economy is likely to slip into recession later this year. read more
Employers have had to raise wages to attract and retain staff, but workers are increasingly feeling the pinch from inflation that has hit double-digits, with further rises forecast.

Long-lost branch of the Nile helped build Egyptian pyramids, study confirms
Study sheds light on environmental conditions that enabled construction of the pyramids of Giza
A now-defunct arm of the Nile river helped Egyptians construct pyramids on the Giza plateau, a new study confirms.
While it is generally accepted that ancient Egyptian engineers used a long-lost channel of the Nile river to transport building materials and provisions to the Giza plateau, there is lack of evidence revealing when, where, and how these ancient landscapes evolved.
The new research, published in the journal PNAS on Monday, assessed the environmental conditions that enabled the construction of the pyramids of Giza – Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure – towering over the west bank of the Nile river.
Scientists, including those from CNRS in France, say the long-lost Khufu branch of Africa’s longest river was used by workers to transport materials to the Giza plateau during 2686-2160 BCE.
In the study, scientists analysed pollen grains extracted from cores drilled from the floodplain that once housed the Khufu branch to determine the environmental conditions that enabled the transport of materials.
Researchers identified 61 taxa and grouped them into seven vegetation patterns.
Based on these patterns, they traced the rise and fall of water levels in the Khufu branch over 8,000 years of Egyptian dynastic history.
The study reconstructed a portrait of the climate and waterscapes that facilitated construction in the pyramid harbor complex.
Scientists found that water levels in the branch rose during the African Humid Period (AHP) – approximately between 14,800 and 5,500 years ago.
But researchers say a drop in water levels may have followed the end of the AHP, in response to the gradual desertification of East Africa.
However, they suspect the high water levels of the Khufu branch could have rendered the branch a navigable conduit for freight transport during the fifth millennium.
“Giza’s waterscapes responded to a gradual insolation-driven aridification of East Africa, with the lowest Nile levels recorded at the end of the Dynastic Period,” scientists wrote in the study.
“The Khufu branch remained at a high-water level during the reigns of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, facilitating the transportation of construction materials to the Giza Pyramid Complex,” they added.
The latest findings shed light on the environmental conditions that enabled the construction of this wonder of the ancient world.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena will take take legal action against 4 AAP leaders, including MLAs Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj, and Durgesh Pathak Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj, for 'false' corruption charges against him, officials said on Wednesday.
Saxena had termed the AAP leaders' Rs 1,400-crore corruption charge against him a 'figment of their imagination'.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party has been at loggerheads with Delhi's LG since the latter's appointment at the office. The MLAs had recently claimed that the LG is involved in a scam during demonetization in 2016, and demanded a CBI inquiry.
The LG said that "it is amply clear that a corrupt AAP is using corrupt people to divert attention from the widespread misdeeds that include massive corruption in education, liquor and PWD accounting to thousands of crores". | https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/delhi-lg-to-take-legal-action-against-4-aap-mlas-for-false-corruption-charge-against-him-bjp-vs-kejriwal-latest-updates-2022-08-31-804314 | 2022-08-31T10:38:16Z | https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/delhi-lg-to-take-legal-action-against-4-aap-mlas-for-false-corruption-charge-against-him-bjp-vs-kejriwal-latest-updates-2022-08-31-804314 | false | null |

Mumbai: The elephant-headed god is a favourite of countless millions in India and abroad. With devotees going the extra mile to make their pandals and idols stand out, Ganesha idols are seen in various avatars, many of them reflecting current social, political and cultural developments.
With southern movies on a winning spree, it is not surprising to see Ganesha idol versions of star cousins Allu Arjun and Ram Charan popular in pandals across India. These images are trending on social media too.
Both actors became household names after the resounding success of ‘Pushpa-The Rise’, and ‘RRR‘ respectively.
Ganesha idols armed with bow and arrows, fashioned on Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s role of Alluri Sita Rama Raju in ‘RRR’ have been winning hearts this year.
Ganesha pandals this year are going to town with ‘Pushpa’ versions too. After creating a buzz at the Independence Day Parade in New York, the stylish star Allu Arjun is now the talk of the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities. Now, as the famous Ganapati festival has arrived, the fever of Pushpa Raj style was seen taking over the Ganpati idols.
The Ganapati festival is among the most celebrated one among the masses. While the people welcome Lord Ganesha at their place, this time the idols arrived in Pushpa Raj style. In some places, the idols of Lord Ganesha were seen where he was sitting in famous Pushpa Raj style.
The Tollywood star has seen an exceptionally high craze among the audience ever since Pushpa: The Rise has been released. The film has created a trend where young and old, commoners and celebrities are imitating the trade mark steps of Pusha Raj in the movie.
‘Pushpa -The Rise’ was the biggest grosser of 2021. Released in five languages, it went on to acquire cult status.
Allu Arjun who has been busy with various brand endorsements will begin shooting for ‘Pushpa -The Rule’ soon. | https://telanganatoday.com/film-avatars-of-allu-arjun-ram-charan-trend-in-ganesh-chaturthi-pandals | 2022-08-31T10:41:05Z | https://telanganatoday.com/film-avatars-of-allu-arjun-ram-charan-trend-in-ganesh-chaturthi-pandals | false | 3 |
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A man who was beaten and held down by Arkansas law enforcement officers during an arrest that was caught on a widely circulated video has filed a federal lawsuit against the officers.
Attorneys for Randal Worcester filed the lawsuit Monday over the Aug. 21 arrest outside a convenience store in the small town of Mulberry that’s prompted state and federal criminal investigations. A bystander’s video shows one officer hold Worcester down as a sheriff’s deputy repeatedly punches and knees the 27-year-old man in the head before grabbing his hair and slamming him against the pavement. At the same time, a third officer also kneed Worcester repeatedly.
All three officers — Mulberry Officer Thell Riddle and Crawford County deputies Zachary King and Levi White — are white. Worcester is also white, according to jail booking information.
Worcester’s lawsuit accuses the officers, all of whom have been suspended, of violating his constitutional rights. The lawsuit also names the city of Mulberry, its police chief, Crawford County and its sheriff as defendants.
“Any reasonable law enforcement officer should have known that his conduct violated clearly established federal law and was a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution,” the lawsuit said.
Mulberry is a community of about 1,600 people that’s roughly 140 miles (220 kilometers) northwest of Little Rock, near the Oklahoma state line.
Crawford County Sheriff Jimmy Damante has said Worcester was being questioned for threatening a clerk at a convenience store in nearby Alma. Damante said Worcester had tackled one of the deputies and punched him in the head before what is seen on the bystander’s video. The deputy suffered a concussion, Damante has said.
Damante has said that before the arrest, Worcester handed over a knife and gave the officers a false name.
An attorney for the two deputies said he was not aware of the lawsuit.
“However, I will vigorously defend the lawsuit like I do every lawsuit against my law enforcement clients,” Russell Wood said in an email.
Damante and Mulberry Police Chief Shannon Gregory did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment Tuesday afternoon.
Policing experts have said that the video of Worcester’s arrest raises red flags about the officers’ actions, saying that blows to the head amount to a potentially deadly use of force that’s only justified when someone poses a current and serious threat.
Worcester was treated at a hospital before being jailed on charges including second-degree battery and resisting arrest. He was released the following day on a $15,000 bond. The lawsuit said Worcester has permanent injuries from the arrest and that he will need continued medical treatment for injuries to his face, body and head.
Worcester’s lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, as well as money for medical bills and lost wages. | https://www.khon2.com/news/national/ap-us-news/ap-lawsuit-filed-over-violent-arrest-outside-arkansas-store/ | 2022-08-31T10:41:06Z | https://www.khon2.com/news/national/ap-us-news/ap-lawsuit-filed-over-violent-arrest-outside-arkansas-store/ | true | 34 |
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia said Wednesday it opened an investigation after videos purportedly showed security forces beating women at an orphanage in the kingdom's southwest.
The governor of Saudi Arabia's Asir region formed a committee to probe the beatings captured in the online video and “refer the case to the competent authorities,” the state-run Saudi Press Agency reported. It was not immediately clear what led to the incident or when it took place.
In the footage from an orphanage in the city of Khamis Mushait, security officials hold down women in black abayas while uniformed security forces repeatedly lash them with leather belts and wooden sticks. One man could be seen dragging a woman by her hair across the orphanage lawn as she screamed.
Other clips showed officers chasing women through the orphanage and brutally shoving them to the ground.
The videos spread rapidly online, with (hashtag)KhamisMushaitOrphans among the most popular on Twitter in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Saudi-opens-probe-over-security-forces-filmed-17409407.php | 2022-08-31T10:44:41Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Saudi-opens-probe-over-security-forces-filmed-17409407.php | false | 12 |

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Twitter lobbed more accusations at each other Tuesday in the latest round of legal filings over Musk’s efforts to rescind his offer to buy the social media platform.
Musk filed more paperwork in his bid to terminate the deal, this time based on information in a whistleblower complaint filed by Twitter’s former head of security.
Twitter fired back by saying Musk's attempt to back out is “invalid and wrongful.”
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Musk said his legal team notified Twitter of “additional bases” for ending the deal on top of the ones given in the original termination notice issued in July.
Twitter has sued Musk, asking the Delaware Chancery Court to force him to go through with the $44 billion deal. A high-stakes trial is set to start the week of Oct. 17.
In a letter to Twitter Inc., which was included in the filing, Musk's advisors cited the whistleblower report by former executive Peiter Zatko — also known by his hacker handle “Mudge."
Zatko, who served as Twitter’s head of security until he was fired early this year, alleged in his complaint to U.S. officials that the company misled regulators about its poor cybersecurity defenses and its negligence in attempting to root out fake accounts that spread disinformation.
The Musk letter, addressed to Twitter's Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde, said Zatko's allegations provide extra reasons to end the deal if the July termination notice “is determined to be invalid for any reason.”
Billionaire Musk has spent months alleging that the company he agreed to acquire undercounted its fake and spam accounts, which means he doesn’t have to go through with the deal.
In a separate SEC filing, Twitter responded to what it called Musk’s latest “purported termination,” saying it’s “based solely on statements made by a third party that, as Twitter has previously stated, are riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies and lack important context.”
Zatko received a subpoena Saturday from Musk’s team compelling him to testify in what Zatko’s lawyers emphasized would be an “involuntary” deposition ahead of the coming courtroom battle between Twitter and Musk.
“He did not make his whistleblower disclosures to the appropriate governmental bodies to benefit Musk or to harm Twitter, but rather to protect the American public and Twitter shareholders,” Zatko's lawyers wrote in a prepared statement.
Twitter is likely to amend its lawsuit to include Zatko's allegations, so the court can decide on both the bot and cybersecurity issues. That could delay the trial because Musk will say he needs more time to prepare, said Brian Quinn, a law professor at Boston College.
The court will have to decide whether the bot or cybersecurity issues are a “material adverse effect” that will harm Twitter's business for years — a difficult legal bar to clear, Quinn said.
The bot issue, which Twitter disclosed in filings with the SEC, seems to be an issue that Twitter would win on, Quinn said. Cybersecurity problems raised by Zatko may not be such an easy victory, he said.
“This is more grist for the mill,” Quinn said. “It's not as obvious for the most part that this is a winner for Twitter. But once you start to analyze these closely, it's still an uphill battle for Musk.” | https://www.gmtoday.com/business/musk-cites-whistleblower-as-new-reason-to-exit-twitter-deal/article_6f819cd2-290f-11ed-8c10-6705f81e7d8f.html | 2022-08-31T10:47:11Z | https://www.gmtoday.com/business/musk-cites-whistleblower-as-new-reason-to-exit-twitter-deal/article_6f819cd2-290f-11ed-8c10-6705f81e7d8f.html | false | 34 |
Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang may have suffered a broken jaw after being attacked at home in an armed robbery.
The usually reliable David Ornsten at The Athletic reports “the 33-year-old is believed to have suffered a broken jaw during a struggle with intruders” earlier this week and may even require surgery.
If the report turns out to be true, then it seems like Auba will be out for several weeks, which could also affect his future.
Intensive talks over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona to Chelsea continue today. Complicated by 33yo suffering broken jaw during home robbery - expected to be out for a number of weeks. Loan also being considered @TheAthleticUK #CFC #FCBarcelona https://t.co/fdjqvQcoFG
— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) August 31, 2022
Auba’s been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea, and Ornstein reports that “intensive talks” with the Blues are continuing before the window closes.
Talks are said to “have been taking place for a number of weeks” but there is still no agreement between the two clubs over a move and time is running out.
Barca are said to be “holding out for a fee” that is above what Chelsea want to pay. The contract length is “another sticking point” which has made an agreement elusive.
It’s still not clear if Aubameyang will leave Barcelona. Chelsea are in need of a striker but Xavi has also said he’s hoping the former Arsenal man will stay. | https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2022/8/31/23330377/barcelona-striker-pierre-emerick-aubameyang-suffered-broken-jaw-in-attack-report | 2022-08-31T10:49:52Z | https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2022/8/31/23330377/barcelona-striker-pierre-emerick-aubameyang-suffered-broken-jaw-in-attack-report | false | 1 |

There has been an increase of 30% in accommodation fraud in 2022, in comparison with 2019 (February–July 2022 v February-July 2019
Gardaí are advising people in Carlow and across Ireland to be wary of rental scams, particularly at this time of year when students are returning to college.
Detective Superintendent Michael Cryan of the Gardaí National Economic Crime Bureau gave the following advice:
You should only use recognised letting agencies or deal with people who are bona fida and trusted. Websites can be cloned, check the URL to ensure it’s a real website and take note of the privacy and refund policy sections.
Be very wary of social media advertisements or where a person letting the location will only communicate via messenger or Whatsapp. You should push for direct answers and if responses are vague disengage immediately.
Watch out for unsolicited contacts or where the contact appears to be based in other jurisdictions and especially if there is a sense of urgency like "a one-time offer”.
If you have decided to take up the offer only use trusted money transfer systems, An Garda Síochána would recommend using a credit card. Never transfer money direct, pay cash, pay into cryptocurrency wallets.
Be wary if a website is asking you to send money to a random PayPal address or asking you to wire it by Western Union or pay in iTunes gift cards or ask you to pay for long-term rental accommodation via a short-term letting website or only deals in cryptocurrency. Most of the time, those methods are done to avoid scrutiny and ensure that a transaction can not be reversed.
Red Flags/Warning Signs:
- When the landlord is unable to meet up to show you the property in person.
- When communication is only through Text / WhatsApp or other social media platform.
- When the property is offered with no questions asked and payment demanded immediately before signing the lease.
- When you are asked to pay cash, cryptocurrency or money via a non-bank transfer (such as wire transfer)
Check List:
- Never agree to rent a property without first having the opportunity to view it.
- Do not hand over cash. Insist upon a proper receipt.
- Ensure that the keys work and you have proper contact details for the landlord/agent.

Kazunori Yamayose is a man on a mission. After spending about 20 years following the typical salaryman route, he decided it was time for a change. Though his work as a company employee touched on sustainable development initiatives, Yamayose wondered if there wasn’t something he could do to make a direct impact. He mulled over regional concerns of ageing populations, lack of family-friendly workspaces and further reaching environmental issues. It’s easy for a company to make money, but it’s much harder for it to also make a meaningful difference in the world. Weskii is the result of this self-reflection, operating under the idea that even small companies can change the world.
In Business with Weskii
Weskii’s business is, at a first glance, hard to pin down. The company develops and manages rental properties across Kanazawa City, as well as the Weskii Hotel and Weskii’s most recent addition: a family-friendly coworking space called Weskii Lab. They are also moving into renewable energy solutions, promoting solar power as one viable source for the future. Weskii is already energy self-sufficient using said renewable power and is committed to carbon neutral management. Beyond these initiatives, Weskii strives to make the office as family-friendly as possible. Because what’s the point of working towards the greater good if your own company isn’t practicing what it preaches? Employees are allowed to bring their children to work and are given the flexibility to leave the office for drop-offs and pickups as needed.
Grand Ambitions for Kanazawa
A family-friendly working environment and a multi-industry approach to sustainable business practices aren’t the only initiatives in Weskii’s wheelhouse. Reinvigorating the regional economy is one of the company’s goals and even here, there is a multipronged approach to the issue. One method — and this is an internationally growing trend but still almost unheard of in Japan — is the virtual hotel chain business model. Weskii is working to build a cohesive Kanazawa hotel brand to support smaller independent regional hotels that might get overlooked on international booking websites. It works by pooling room availability and resources from multiple lodgings, making them more efficient and resistant to risk. By working together, businesses can also compile local knowledge and contacts to create value-added services for visitors. This benefits both the businesses and their guests, and, in the long run, the region as a whole. Weskii’s approaches to collaboration and innovation like this are sure to fulfill their ultimate goal of changing the world for the better.

Weskii Hotel: Perfect for Workations and Vacations
Located a three-minute walk from Kanazawa Station’s west exit, Weskii Hotel is as convenient as they come. It offers a completely automated check-in service for speedy entry, with the option of support by phone if needed. Rooms are spacious and fully fitted to accommodate extended stays, with a kitchen area, a washing machine and other useful amenities for a longer visit. The larger rooms — boasting four double beds — can room up to eight people in the deluxe family room, while 10 can stay in the suite room. Other services that encourage a longer stay include free parking, making exploration of both Kanazawa City and Ishikawa Prefecture a reasonable option. Guests can also choose accommodation plans that include kimono rental, or opt for a luxurious gold leaf face mask spa service. For those who can’t escape the grind completely, there is a workation plan that includes a discount for Weskii’s own coworking space, Weskii Lab.

Weskii Lab: Coworking in Central Kanazawa
Opened in June 2022, Weskii Lab is likely the first coworking office of its kind in Japan. It’s a family-friendly space that offers bilingual (Japanese and English) childcare to children from six months of age to 12 years old. The English Language Kids’ Room is fitted with climbing frames and slides, while staff provide a safe and nurturing environment as they play and learn together. Currently only Japanese and English are available, but if there is demand, Weskii Lab may also offer other language support such as French, Spanish, Mandarin and more. The work lounge itself has all the amenities a remote worker might need, with the added bonus of being a short walk from sightseeing destinations such as Kanazawa Castle Park, Kenrokuen Garden and Kazuemachi Chaya district. It’s a great place to combine work with pleasure, while knowing your kids are safe, entertained and improving both their Japanese and English language skills.

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) stock has given back the gains it posted after the announcement of the audit agreement with the US and Chinese regulators last week. The unprecedented deal highlights China's efforts to seek a possibility to avert the potential delisting of its companies from the US exchanges.
Therefore, the market reaction is a reminder (yet again) to investors that they should abstain from chasing sharp momentum spikes, allowing astute investors to take profit.
Notwithstanding, we have been observing the price action of BABA over the past month. We are pleased to update investors that its price action has been basing constructively. Therefore, we are confident that the market has been quietly accumulating BABA at key support levels, as BABA formed a higher low in July and August.
Recent earnings commentary from China's leading discount e-commerce retailer Pinduoduo (PDD) suggested that consumer sentiments have improved from April/May's severe COVID lockdowns. It's also consistent with Alibaba's commentary on its recent earnings, which highlighted it observed improvement in consumer spending, corroborating PDD's views.
Therefore, we are increasingly confident that BABA is on the path to a medium-term re-rating, given its well-battered valuations.
As such, we encourage investors to use the pullback from the post-audit deal momentum spike to add exposure as BABA consolidates above its August lows.
Investors went gaga last week as the US and China regulators agreed to a deal for "unfettered access" to the audit work papers of Chinese companies listed in the US. However, the verbiage from China was more measured, as it "emphasized 'assistance' and 'participation."
Still, it was an unprecedented deal, accentuated by the US SEC Chair Gary Gensler. However, he also reminded investors that nothing has materially changed yet until the action takes place, as he articulated:
We have this unprecedented arrangement signed, but we still need to see over the next several months whether there will be compliance. The deal was more comprehensive than that with any other country, and that American officials would be able to assess by December whether they were getting sufficient access. - Bloomberg
Well, the good news for Alibaba investors is that we will know soon enough whether we will have the compliance that the US regulators are seeking. Reuters reported this week that audit inspections would commence for Alibaba in Hong Kong in September, as it received the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) notification.
Is there anything to worry about now? We urge investors to consider our thesis that the delisting risks are nothing new. Hence, the market had already factored in the worst-case scenario in BABA's March bottom, which is delisting. Can there be anything worse than delisting? Goldman Sachs (GS) also articulated in a recent commentary that the market is still pricing in a 50% probability of delisting, even though it's down from the 95% probability in March.
Gavekal Research also accentuated that delisting remains as the "base case," as it highlighted:
The chance of every single inspection now going smoothly under time pressure and in a period of significantly more fraught U.S.-China relations seems low. - Barron's
Therefore, the pricing algorithm has not changed, as the market remains tentative over Alibaba's delisting risks. Consequently, any news that can potentially move Alibaba away from delisting should be considered a positive development.
We posit that the price action observed in BABA from March to August corroborates our view that the market has been quietly accumulating BABA at crucial support zones. In addition, investors have also been using momentum spikes to cut exposure nimbly (which we also discussed in a previous article).
But, does BABA's current valuation support our thesis of an accumulation phase since its March lows? Absolutely. BABA's NTM EBITDA multiple last traded below the two standard deviation zone below its all-time mean.
Notwithstanding, we posit that the market has correctly de-rated BABA, given the significant structural changes in its growth algorithm. However, the market has also been rejecting further selling downside below that zone, corroborating our thesis of an accumulation phase.
As seen above, BABA has been consolidating robustly above its July and August lows, even with the recent pullback.
Notably, BABA has also been basing constructively above its March and May lows, suggesting a recovery of its medium-term bullish bias remains on track. Hence, given the recent pullback, we are confident that the reward-to-risk profile is skewed to the upside. Furthermore, additional downside volatility should be leveraged by investors to add more exposure as Alibaba heads toward its September audit inspections.
We urge investors not to fear unnecessarily, noting that delisting remains the base case for the Street. Hence, any positive development should be viewed favorably, with a line of sight toward a medium-term re-rating.
Accordingly, we reiterate our Buy rating on BABA.
We help you to pick lower-risk entry points, ensuring you are able to capitalize on them with a higher probability of success and profit on their next wave up. Your membership also includes:
24/7 access to our model portfolios

Central African Republic's Constitutional Court on Monday ruled that the purchase of citizenship, "e-residency" and land using a cryptocurrency the government launched last month was unconstitutional.
The "Sango Coin" went on sale on July 21 despite a sharp fall in bitcoin prices during recent months, and doubts over the project's viability in a poorly connected and war-torn country.
Under the initiative, foreign investors would have been able to buy citizenship for $60,000 worth of crypto - with the equivalent Sango Coins held as collateral for five years - and "e-residency" for $6,000, held for three years, according to the Sango website.
A 250 metre square plot of land had also been listed as $10,000, with the Sango Coins locked away for a decade.
But the country's top court deemed those purchases "unconstitutional", arguing among other reasons that nationality did not have a market value and that residency required a physical stay in Central African Republic (CAR), a decree showed.
The impact on the Sango Coin initiative was not immediately clear.
Government spokesman Serge Djorie told Reuters he did not have a response to the ruling.
CAR, one of the world's poorest countries, became the first in Africa to make bitcoin legal tender in April - raising eyebrows among cryptocurrency experts and prompting the International Monetary Fund to warn it was not a "panacea" for the continent's challenges.
President Faustin-Archange Touadera has defended the Sango Coin as a solution to financial exclusion that will facilitate investment in CAR's vast mineral resources.
But sales of the initial $21 million on offer have been slow, with just over 5% of the target bought in the hours after its launch. | https://ghanaguardian.com/central-african-republic-top-court-blocks-purchases-with-new-cryptocurrency | 2022-08-31T11:19:43Z | https://ghanaguardian.com/central-african-republic-top-court-blocks-purchases-with-new-cryptocurrency | false | 11 |

Dixmoor sees multiple water main breaks, school closures and boil orders – again – NBC Chicago
Water problems continue to plague Chicago’s southern suburb of Dixmoor after multiple water main breaks on Monday and Tuesday led to the closure of schools, residents under a restraining order. boiling and a plethora of frustration and confusion.
It remains to be seen whether students will be able to return to class on Wednesday. As of 10:30 p.m. Tuesday evening, authorities had still not made a decision, according to a village spokesman.
Officials say the village, about 20 miles south of Chicago, saw seven water main breaks in just two days, five of which occurred on Tuesday. The latest rupture occurred near 145th and 147th Streets, near Martin Luther King Primary School and not far from the Dixmoor Waterworks.
According to the authorities, despite some corrective measures, two of the three schools in Dixmoor have been closed since Tuesday.
And while village officials say residents in affected areas are on a boil water advisory, some neighbors say they weren’t notified by the city or told of the order. boil only through news reports.
“I don’t know what happened to Robo Calls as I signed up for them but never received any,” read a post from the “Dixmoor Deserves Better” Facebook group. “This mayor doesn’t inform the locals here, I guess he doesn’t think he should.
The latest breaks are not the first time Dixmoor has experienced water issues. In July, multiple water main breaks led to the closure of water service for the entire village and a state of emergency declared by the authorities.
The July emergency comes no more than a year after the village experienced significant problems with its water system, water pumps and dangerously low water pressure.
Dixmoor generally receives its water from the nearby town of Harvey. But for several weeks in the fall of 2021, water pressure in the community was nearly four times below the required 36 pounds per square inch, officials said.
Broken pipes were located and replaced, but problems with the turbines at the village water facility caused the problem to drag on and required major repairs to get the system back up and running.
The village recently received a $2 million investment to address water issues and install new water lines. However, this project is not expected to begin until spring 2023.

Other voices: Biden’s monkeypox missteps
President Joe Biden’s administration has announced that it’s accelerating the distribution of 1.8 million monkeypox vaccines. While a positive development, it can’t paper over the government’s multiple missteps in responding to this crisis.
Symptoms of monkeypox, a virus from the smallpox family, include fever, headaches, chills, a sore throat and a rash that can evolve into painful lesions inside the mouth and other sensitive areas. Although so far there have been no U.S. fatalities, the virus can last for two to four weeks and is said to cause excruciating pain. The number of infections is rising, now standing at more than 17,000 nationwide. Even as early hot spots New York City and Los Angeles County see infection rates fall, new cases continue to increase across much of the rest of the U.S.
If the COVID-19 pandemic has shown anything, it’s that a public health emergency of this kind requires two things: efficient distribution of resources to mitigate the outbreak, and clear communication with the public about the risks involved. When it comes to monkeypox, Biden’s administration fell short on both counts.
From the start, federal mitigation efforts were slow and often hapless. In June, with the initial outbreak underway, the Department of Health and Human Services waited weeks before placing an order for vaccines with the small Danish company that manufactures them. With other orders already in its pipeline, the company said it would be months before it could bottle the doses — which the government already owned — for distribution. Officials don’t expect to receive the full 5.5 million doses they’ve ordered until sometime next year.
Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration dawdled for nearly two months before inspecting the same Danish company’s new pharmaceutical plant where an additional 1.1 million doses were stored awaiting distribution. Its inspectors didn’t arrive until July, by which time U.S. cases had soared. It didn’t help matters that the U.S. had previously allowed 20 million doses in its own national stockpile to expire, leaving just 2,400 available at the start of the outbreak.
Compounding these early blunders, HHS adopted a novel method of distributing what vaccines it had. In prior outbreaks, it had used a system called VTrckS, which was run through the CDC and integrated with state databases that tracked all orders and doses. For monkeypox, HHS chose a new system that bypassed the CDC and state systems and required officials to track orders manually. The predictable result was confusion, errors and yet more delays.
Underlying all these missteps has been a lack of leadership. Yet rather than accept responsibility and demand better, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra has simply tried to deflect blame to state health agencies.
As for communication, the administration’s response has been no better. Most crucially, health officials have repeatedly failed to speak honestly to the public about monkeypox. The current strain of the virus spreads mostly via sexual contact and almost entirely among gay men, who account for 98% of cases. Yet health experts have consistently minimized this key behavioral fact in favor of a more benign warning that “anyone” can be infected via “skin-on-skin contact.” Although technically true, this is misleading and irresponsible. The CDC’s monkeypox FAQ doesn’t even mention that gay men are uniquely susceptible.
This reluctance to be direct and precise is said to be due to fear of stigmatizing gay men, in an echo of the early days of the AIDS epidemic. That’s surely a fair concern. But protecting the public — especially the communities most vulnerable to infection — must be the top priority of health officials. Using such evasive language simply patronizes the people it’s intended to help.
It’s fair to say that the past few years have presented public-health officials with unprecedented challenges. But that’s no excuse for repeating mistakes and failing to learn obvious lessons. Biden needs to show leadership in this crisis, and demand far better.

The truth about the royal family’s reaction to Princess Diana’s death
Blair spoke to reporters that morning from his home constituency in County Durham, saying he was “completely devastated”, like the rest of the country. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Princess Diana’s family, especially her two sons, both boys,” he said, shaking and unclenching his hands in front of him.
“Our hearts go out to them. We are a nation today, in Britain, in a state of shock, mourning, grief that is so deeply painful to us.” Blair paused. “He was a wonderful, warm human being. Although his own life was often sadly touched by tragedy, he touched the lives of so many others, in Britain, across the world, with joy and comfort. How often should we remember her, in how many different ways: with the sick, the dying, with the children, with the needy, when with a look, a gesture that spoke much more than words, she revealed to all of us the depth of her compassion and her humanity.
“You know how difficult things were for her at times, I’m sure we could only guess, but people everywhere – not just here in Britain, everywhere – have kept faith in Princess Diana. “, concluded Blair. “They loved her, they loved her, they considered her one of the people. She was the people’s princess. And that’s how she will remain, how she will remain, in our hearts and in our memories , for all time.”

Compassion or cowardice; Why Ashraf Ghani left Afghanistan
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
This article is part of a Fox News Digital series examining the aftermath of the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan a year ago this week.
A year after a Taliban offensive across Afghanistan slammed into Kabul and toppled the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, questions linger over the actions of the bankrupt republic’s last internationally recognized president, Ashraf Ghani.
“No power in the world could persuade me to get on a plane and leave this country. This is a country I love and I will die defending it,” Ghani sadly told Der Spiegel in May 2021.
However, Ghani broke that promise a few months later, gathering his family and flying out of Afghanistan as Taliban forces invaded Kabul. The former president was immediately criticized for what some said were cowardly actions, while reports began to circulate that Ghani had fled with millions of dollars from the Afghan treasury.
Rumors spread in the days after Ghani fled his country that he had landed in Tajikistan or neighboring Uzbekistan, but it was later revealed that he had traveled to the United Arab Emirates and there. was staying in a house at an undisclosed location.
FORMER AFGHAN PRESIDENT GIVE REASON FOR FLEEING, SAYS HE WANTS TO RETURN AND ‘HELP MY COUNTRY HEAL’
The United Arab Emirates took in the former Afghan president and his family on humanitarian grounds, where Ghani quickly moved to defend his actions.
“Dear compatriots! Today I faced a difficult choice; I had to face the armed Taliban who wanted to enter the palace or leave the dear country that I have dedicated my life to protect and protect these twenty years,” Ghani said in a Facebook post hours after leaving the country. “The Taliban managed to kidnap me, they are here to attack all of Kabul and the people of Kabul. In order to avoid the bloody flood, I thought it best to get out.”
Less than a month later, the former president again explained that he had left Afghanistan to avoid heavy fighting in the nation’s capital during an apology to the Afghan people.
“Leaving Kabul was the hardest decision of my life, but I thought it was the only way to silence the guns and save Kabul and its 6 million people,” he said in a statement. press release posted on Twitter.
WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN, 1 YEAR AFTER: THE TALIBAN TAKEOVER OF KABUL WHICH PRESIDENT BIDEN NEVER SEEN COMING
A US report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) later found there was a lack of evidence to support the claim that Ghani fled Afghanistan with millions of dollars, but said it was likely he had around $500,000.
“Although SIGAR discovered that cash was taken from the palace grounds and loaded onto these helicopters, the evidence indicates that this number did not exceed $1 million and could have been closer to $500,000” , Special Inspector General John Sopko wrote in a letter to House and Senate leaders. “Most of this money would come from several Afghan government operating budgets normally managed at the palace.”
In the months since his exit from Afghanistan and his statements on social media, Ghani has mostly kept a low profile. That changed earlier this month, with Ghani giving a rare interview to CNN in which he again defended his final days as president.
“I got on a plane because it became impossible to defend it,” Ghani said in the interview, noting that his defense minister had told him the country could no longer be defended and that the ministry had already been evacuated.

“I was the last to leave, and the reason I left was that I didn’t want to give the Taliban and their supporters the pleasure of once again humiliating an Afghan president,” he said.
Ghani used the interview to criticize the “incredibly flawed” deal with the Taliban negotiated under former President Trump and implemented by President Biden, but made it clear he did not blame the United States for the collapse of the government he oversaw.
“We have to focus on what is now in front of us,” Ghani said. “Our country is in a terrible state. I don’t have the luxury of committing blame or [a] feeling of betrayal.”
He also dismissed comparisons between himself and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, arguing that the situation he faced was very different from that of the Ukrainian leader, who chose to stay in his country as Russian forces closed in. from Kyiv.

“President Zelenskyy was briefed in detail by the CIA on the upcoming Russian invasion,” Ghani explained. “Not a single piece of paper was offered to us by our allies.”
However, Ghani also expressed hope that one day he could return to Afghanistan, pointing out that his family has been in the same village for 500 to 600 years.
“I hope so. Absolutely. This is my home,” Ghani said of a possible return to Afghanistan. “I want to be able to help my county heal…and I hope I can do that from the place where every cell in my body belongs and where I always feel like a stranger.”
The former president did not back down in the face of criticism of his last act as leader of Afghanistan, stressing that he always did what he believed to be in the best interest of the people of his country.
“I lived an honorable life,” he said.

ASK IRA: Has a Heat opening been created for Donovan Mitchell?
Q: Now that the Knicks have extended RJ Barrett to a four-year extension, several media outlets are saying that the Heat may be the frontrunners in the Donovan Mitchell sweepstakes. Time for Pat Riley to work his magic. Do you think Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and a couple of first round picks can get it done? – Greg, Jacksonville.
A: Based on Danny Ainge’s gluttony for draft picks, I’m not sure that would be enough to get it done from the Jazz’s perspective. Their preferred capital is unprotected draft picks, preferably from a team that has the possibility of being crap-tastic a few years down the road (which practically is tradition these past two decades for the Knicks). Then, from a Heat perspective, it becomes a matter of how many draft picks along with Tyler Herro are too much? (The Duncan Robinson element is not as significant for the Heat, with the presence of Max Strus, but I’m not sure Utah would want to take on such a contract.) Again, you can argue that Donovan Mitchell is one draft pick better than Tyler. But two (or more)? In no way would I cast the Heat, with their middling pool of draft picks, favorites for Donovan. A chance? Certainly until Tyler is extended. But favorites? That’s overstating.
Q: Now that Kevin Durant is staying with the Nets and with Miami’s lack of draft assets to acquire Donovan Mitchell from Utah, what’s the hold up on extending Tyler Herro? His price may go up if he hits free agency and create a disgruntled budding star on the roster. – Rod.
A: Because the Heat’s obligation is to keep available as many avenues as possible to improve the roster. That is why there are deadlines. And with Tyle Herro, the deadline for an extension is Oct. 18. So why eliminate six weeks of possibilities? Tyler has been a professional now for three seasons. He certainly has to appreciate it is a business. And one way or the other, he’ll get paid.
Q: I mean maybe it’s as simple as giving Tyler Herro the starting nod this year. He averaged 21 a game off the bench. Maybe the answer solved with this puzzle is by starting Herro. – Douglas.
A: And that’s the rub, be it trade considerations or extension talk, determining what Tyler Herro would be as a starter. So far he has started only 33 of his 175 regular-season games, with no more than 15 starts in a season. By contrast, the Knicks extended RJ Barrett after he had started at least 70 games in each of the past two seasons. And, of course, Donovan Mitchell has been a career starter, starting every game since his second season.

Meet the Crypto Billionaires Club – What the Rising Numbers Mean
mini
Not too long ago, the combined market capitalization of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum was a few billion dollars. These projects led to the rise of the first crypto millionaires. Here’s a look at the new breed of billionaires who made it to the rich lists
Not too long ago, the combined market capitalization of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum was a few billion dollars. These projects led to the rise of the first crypto-millionaires, who traded and accumulated tokens as their value grew from nothing to something.
Now, as individual cryptos have market capitalizations that often exceed $1 trillion, several crypto billionaires have emerged, a group that has grown over the past two years.
These wealthy individuals run businesses based on centralized crypto-like exchanges and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. It can also be crypto whales that have accumulated tokens that are now worth large fortunes.
Here’s a look at the new breed of billionaires who made it to the rich lists and also the way forward
The Crypto Billionaire Club
When Forbes started ranking the crypto-rich, it had its own separate list with a threshold of around $350 million to make the list. Today, it doesn’t seem necessary to have a different list, as 19 of the crypto-rich are now on the Forbes Billionaires Index itself.
The richest known cryptobillionaire in the world today is Binance founder Chanpeng Zhao with an estimated net worth of over $65 billion. Most of his fortune comes from his ownership of Binance (about 70% or so) and his whale-shaped holdings in BTC and BNB (Binance’s native token). Binance is currently the largest crypto exchange in the world and has seen over $16 billion in revenue over the past year.
Second on the list with a net worth of around $24 billion is Hong Kong-based crypto exchange FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. He moved from Hong Kong to the friendlier environment of the Bahamas to continue building FTX, which has now become the darling of venture capitalists like Sequoia.
Other billionaires on the list include Ripple’s Chris Larsen, the infamous Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and South Korean UpBit founder Song Chi-Hyung, among others. The list of crypto billionaires currently consists of fewer traders, early stage investors, and more exchange and blockchain founders. It’s only natural in an industry that has yet to reach most of the masses.
The hidden wealth
In the list above, we don’t see the names of Satoshi Nakamoto or Vitalik Buterin as they haven’t fully disclosed how many tokens they currently have. According to some estimates, the pseudonymous bitcoin founder owns almost a million bitcoins, which would already make him one of the richest people on the planet.
The examples above are the most prominent, but there are many more whales with high net worth who are still unnamed and likely will continue to be, given the transparent but pseudonymous beauty of cryptocurrency. .
What do rising billionaires mean?
The list has grown by more than 40% this year, and more will soon join this elite group. So what does the big picture look like?
1. Increased Adoption
With founders and investors in crypto exchanges going to the three comma club, it seems that more and more people are actively involved in cryptocurrency. For now, this adoption is largely limited to crypto investors and traders. However, the native utility of DeFi tokens and protocols could also increase over time.
2. Pay the investments
Billions are pouring into the crypto-economy. This leads to appreciation in the price of various tokens, making whales billionaires. It is a sign that the common person also sees the benefits of crypto and uses it as a store of wealth.
3. The windfall of innovation
With fortunes growing exponentially, those at the helm of crypto platforms can pour more resources into research and development. This leads to further innovation and progression of blockchain and crypto technologies. Plus, spurred on by the massive wealth that early founders and developers amassed through their projects, budding developers are inspired to push the boundaries and build better systems.
4. A first sign of disparity
The unequal distribution of wealth is a cause for concern in government-run finances, and crypto was seen as the answer to this problem. But what we see is even more of the same, and it may have more to do with how human greed works than anything related to finance.
Conclusion
A growing case of billionaires emerges when a new technology is adopted in droves. This is what happened with the industrial revolution, with oil and fossil fuels, software and computers, social media and now cryptocurrency. This is undeniably what will shape our near future. And while some see the growing list of crypto-rich as disproportionate wealth, there will always be capitalists who call it a reward for innovation.

Spain launches free rail travel passes to fight inflation
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
MADRID, Aug 31 (Reuters) - After struggling a bit with the ticket machine at Madrid's grand 19th century Atocha railway station, 26-year-old Jennifer Bernard Quintana and her sister became the happy owners of free travel passes valid from Thursday.
With inflation near record highs of above 10% year-on-year, Spain's Socialist-led government hopes to alleviate living expenses and encourage more people to take public transport by providing them with free monthly passes for all local and medium-range intercity routes. Long-haul trips and single tickets are excluded.
"I think it's a great initiative," Jennifer, who works in social media, told Reuters.

"I'd love this to be a permanent thing as it would help to make things in general less expensive and we'd have more mobility... this is a good way for the government to invest the money we pay in taxes."
Her mother Toni, 55, said the discount would help the family save more than 80 euros ($80) a month on her two daughters' transport cards.
"We need more initiatives like this," she said. "We parents can't pay anymore. We don't have the same budget for doing the same things with our children as we did before."
Almost half a million people have already pre-ordered the free transportation cards, and state-owned railway operator Renfe expects the scheme, in force until year-end, to result in 75 million free railway journeys.
"It's very easy to apply and to use. Given the economic situation, for us this is a great help," said 18-year-old student Anastasia Adamova.
Germany has promoted a similar initiative, starting in June and ending in September, which was a huge success and reduced traffic jams in major cities. read more
The Spanish scheme, which also includes discounts on other types of public transport, will cost 221 million euros. It is part of the latest aid package to mitigate price rises, approved in June, worth a total of 9.5 billion euros, including value-added tax reductions and Social Security exemptions. read more

KIBBUTZ REVADIM, Israel — Israeli archaeologists recently unearthed the titanic tusk of a prehistoric pachyderm near a kibbutz in southern Israel, a remnant of a behemoth once hunted by early people around half a million years ago.
The Israel Antiquities Authority announced Wednesday that the 2.5-meter (yard) long fossil belonging to the long-extinct straight-tusked elephant was found during a joint excavation with researchers from Tel Aviv University and Ben-Gurion University.
Israel Antiquities Authority prehistorian Avi Levy, who headed the dig, said it was "the largest complete fossil tusk ever found at a prehistoric site in Israel or the Near East."
The site was dated to the late lower paleolithic period, around 500,000 years ago, based on stone tools found in the vicinity, the antiquities authority said.
Omry Barzilai, an IAA archaeologist, said the find was "very puzzling, very enigmatic" because it was not clear whether ancient people hunted the behemoth on the spot or whether they brought the felled animal's tusk to this spot.
The tusk was found near a kibbutz on the central plain running parallel to Israel's Mediterranean coast. But half a million years ago, when the ancient elephant died, the now-arid terrain was likely a swamp or shallow lake, an ideal habitat for ancient hominids. | https://m.startribune.com/israeli-archaeologists-dig-up-large-tusk-of-ancient-elephant/600202565/ | 2022-08-31T11:26:53Z | https://m.startribune.com/israeli-archaeologists-dig-up-large-tusk-of-ancient-elephant/600202565/ | false | 31 |

HOLLYWOOD, Md. — It's been 20 years, but Paul LaRuffa still cries listening to audio of a 911 dispatcher telling him he wouldn't let him die.
The now-retired Prince George's County restaurant owner was bleeding out, his lungs collapsed, shot five times by a 17-year-old who would go on to become one half of the most notorious sniper team ever to terrorize the Washington region.
"He says you should sit down," a friend said on a recording of the call, relaying instructions from the dispatcher to LaRuffa after the shooting close to midnight on Sept. 5, 2002.
"All right, but I don’t want to die here!" LaRuffa said, struggling in the parking lot.
"We’re not going to let that happen, we’re coming out there to help you," the 911 call taker responds, his voice calm and reassuring.
Twenty Octobers ago, the D.C. region was wracked with fear. The sniper team of Lee Boyd Malvo and John Muhammad were shooting people seemingly at random, killing 10 and critically wounding more, including five people murdered in five separate shootings in a single day.
The victims were pumping gas, going shopping, walking to school and mowing the lawn.
The snipers had attacked LaRuffa in Clinton, Maryland one month earlier. LaRuffa said fate gave him a chance to survive.
"Most of them had zero chance," he said of the snipers' victims. "They were alive one minute, and dead the next second."
LaRuffa had just closed his Prince George’s restaurant and thrown his laptop and the day’s receipts in the back seat.
"I heard a loud, loud sound at the same time as the window exploded," he said.
Malvo had run up and shot him repeatedly through the driver's side window, and then reached in the back door and grabbed the laptop and the bag of money.
"One bullet went through my arm into my chest, one went into my diaphragm," LaRuffa said, pointing to the now healed scars. "Another went in my side. And one went in my…. neck right by my spine."
He spent eight or nine hours in surgery, and then more than a month peering out his door and windows, worried the shooter might come back to finish the job. It was only after Malvo and Muhammad were captured late in October that he could finally sleep again.
LaRuffa never got a chance to thank everyone who helped him.
"I get emotional listening to that when I say, ‘I don’t want to die in this parking lot.’ And when that guy says. ‘We’re not going to let that happen!’... That gets me. I regret I never met that guy," he said.
LaRuffa sold the restaurant. It has been replaced by a vape shop, although the sign is still up. Laruffa is still mad that the snipers used the $3,500 of proceeds from robbing and shooting him to finance three weeks of terror.
But his healing has been miraculous, and he’s no longer haunted by the snipers.
"If I had to die that night, I wasn’t afraid," he said, his voice catching. "I just didn’t want that to be my time. And I’m glad it wasn’t."
Virginia executed Muhammad in 2009.
Malvo’s serving four life terms in Virginia and was sentenced to another six in Maryland. He's currently eligible for parole in Virginia, and his legal team won an appeal to Maryland's highest court for a new sentencing hearing. The resentencing will remain within the discretion of the sentencing court for Malvo. Currently, no information has been released as to when the Supreme Court resentencing will begin.
LaRuffa worked with the Campaign For Fair Sentencing of Youth to help young offenders get released from prison. But he's mad he never received an apology from Malvo."
"I just feel he probably will be [released] someday, and I don’t know when that day is," LaRuffa said. "But I do know it shouldn’t be now."
LaRuffa is retired and living near the water in St. Mary's County. He has a couple of horses, including a big flawed racehorse he named "Sniper Survivor." Though he says he's not obsessing over the shooting, he'll never forget it either. | https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/20-years-later-paul-laruffa-survivor-of-dc-snipers-malvo-muhammad-is-not-obsessing-but-hell-never-forget-either/65-055e1e42-c72e-4bab-b393-286eefe88037 | 2022-08-31T11:34:39Z | https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/20-years-later-paul-laruffa-survivor-of-dc-snipers-malvo-muhammad-is-not-obsessing-but-hell-never-forget-either/65-055e1e42-c72e-4bab-b393-286eefe88037 | true | 6 |
The Indian Government has been on a mission to ensure that at India's grassroot level, there is financial, technical and entrepreneurial strength. To further this mission, the “One District One Product” scheme was introduced, the purpose of which was to render necessary support to agricultural products. The idea was to provide infrastructure, marketing and financial strength to unique products in each district for effective monetization.
On the heels of such initiatives, the Indian Government has now announced the “One Nation One Fertilizer” (ONOP) Policy, which is expected to go into effect from October 02, 2022. Amongst many other practical and logistical reasons identified, one of the main purposes behind this scheme is to bring uniformity in fertilizer brands in the country through decontrolling Urea and under this, crop nutrients such as Urea, Di-ammonium Phosphate and Muriate of Potash are to be sold under a single brand name BHARAT irrespective of the details of the manufacturer. This scheme only applies to fertilizers that are under the subsidy mechanism. The trade mark BHARAT will be accompanied with the logo of the subsidy scheme offered by the Government as well. Farmers currently procure fertilizers from vendors of their choice irrespective of the vendor's physical location, which had led to an increased freight cost whereas the Government identifies Urea as a commodity with not much differentiating power between the vendors' products. When the products of all vendors have similar branding, farmers will not have to resort to such cross-country procurement leading to a substantial reduction in freight subsidy. All Urea bags are required to have a bar code and a fertilizer company would only be eligible for a subsidy if the product is sold through a reading of the bar code. This is to ensure effective tracking of products across state boundaries and hence, having a seamless process of procurement.
The notification also addresses the issue of placement of brand name, logo and details of the manufacturing company and elaborates that two-thirds of the bag will carry the brand BHARAT and the logo of the subsidy scheme and one-third space would be available for the company logo and other details required to be on a bag of fertilizer.
This announcement has not evoked much positive reaction from fertilizer manufacturing companies as they fear that the brand identity for their brands may get compromised in the process. The agricultural ecosystem in India is unique in that the fertilizer companies have huge investments not just for manufacturing but also in imparting specialized training to the farmers, conducting surveys etc. This has ensured long standing brand recollection and brand loyalty for such manufacturing companies, which may be set to change post this new scheme.
The primary purpose of Trade Marks is to serve as source indicators and differentiators for their proprietors, and the manner of usage of the brand in trade and its corresponding entrenchment in the minds of the consumers solidifies its journey. This new scheme, thus, raises a unique question with its basis in trade marks law on the composite goodwill that the manufacturing companies will generate for their own brands when they are used with the trade mark BHARAT. Likewise, in the event the quality of the product is sub-par, would such negative reputation be attributed to the prominent brand BHARAT mentioned on the bag?
Co-branding has its pros and cons. Co-branding is an extremely effective tool when both brands get to benefit from each other's brand equity and in many cases, opens the other brand to the customer base of the first. While this is a win-win, addressing the issue of dilution remains of paramount importance through such co-branding journey, which will be the litmus test for the success of this co-branding initiative.

SEBRING — Reese Martin and Nicole Radonski, the winners of the recent school board election, have nearly three months before they are sworn into office on Nov. 22 as members of the School Board of Highlands County.
Both board members-elect shared how they are preparing for the responsibility of being a School Board member.
Radonski said, “I am looking forward to November, when I officially begin serving our children, schools and families, as their School Board District 5 representative.
“Until then, I will continue to focus on board agendas and policies that will be addressed within the next few months.”
Radonski said she will be attending new board member trainings, via the Florida School Boards Association.
“I also plan to begin reviewing all policies and the strategic plan for our district,” she said. “I would also like to begin visiting schools.”
Radonski said she understands her new position will take time.
“I am willing and ready to get to work and serve our community well,” she said. “My greatest concern will always be for the protection and educational welfare of our students. I can assure you that I will be doing my homework.”
Radonski was serving on the Health Committee Review Team that was reviewing health education curriculum, but since her status now is “school board elect,” she will be stepping down from the committee. The School Board will eventually be voting on the recommendation from the committee.
Martin said, “I am committed to student success, and I’m listening to parents and teachers and always welcome your phone calls and emails. I’m honored to have this opportunity to represent the people of Highlands County, and I’m ready to get to work to bring solutions for the issues facing our district.
“Our school district has been managing $270 million, and I want to dive into those numbers to better understand how our taxpayer dollars have been spent, along with the detail of funds available,” he said. “We must focus on excellence in education and spend money effectively for the advancement and success of our students.”
Martin said he is connecting with resources available to new school board members to be more effective. | https://www.midfloridanewspapers.com/highlands_news-sun/news/school-board-elect-members-prepping-to-take-office/article_7be76154-27d0-11ed-9ea3-7743d960fa44.html | 2022-08-31T11:37:11Z | https://www.midfloridanewspapers.com/highlands_news-sun/news/school-board-elect-members-prepping-to-take-office/article_7be76154-27d0-11ed-9ea3-7743d960fa44.html | true | 1 |
TORONTO, Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG, OTCQX: RVLGF) (“Revival Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide an update on the status of agreements to acquire certain property interests that comprise part of the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project (“Beartrack-Arnett”) located in Lemhi County, Idaho, USA.
Beartrack Property
On August 30th, 2022, Revival Gold executed an Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement and Exploration Agreement with Meridian Gold Company (“Meridian”) (a wholly owned subsidiary of Yamana Gold Inc.) under which Revival Gold and Meridian agreed to extend the period of time for Revival Gold to complete earn-in obligations to acquire Meridian Beartrack Co. (owner of the Beartrack property and related infrastructure) by two years to September 29th, 2024. In connection with the extension, Revival Gold has committed to continue to fund certain site operating and management costs (“O&M” costs, estimated to be approximately US$850,000 per year including site bonding surety) and increase the required earn-in exploration spend at Beartrack from US$10 million to US$15 million (of which, approximately US$12 million had been expended as at June 30th, 2022).
The Beartrack property includes an estimated $40-50 million in site infrastructure value and hosts the bulk of Mineral Resources at Beartrack-Arnett. Upon completion of the Meridian Beartrack Co. acquisition (the “Acquisition”), Revival Gold will assume responsibility for site bonding. The current face value of the Beartrack site bond is $10.2 million. Revival Gold will also be required to provide a 1% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty, an additional NSR royalty of 0.5% (terminating when the payments of the additional royalty total $2 million) and pay the greater of $6 per troy ounce of the total gold Mineral Resources or $15 per troy ounce of proven and probable gold Mineral Reserves after the third anniversary of the acquisition.
Barnett Mineral Claims
On April 29th, 2022, Revival Gold paid the final US$250,000 option payment under the Barnett Agreement (announced June 30th, 2017 and amended April 9th, 2020) fulfilling all requirements to acquire a 100% interest in the Barnett mineral claims located at Beartrack-Arnett. The Barnett mineral claims host a portion of the Haidee Mineral Resource at Beartrack-Arnett and offer the potential to expand the Mineral Resource in that location. The Barnett mineral claims are central to Revival Gold’s potential future heap leach re-development plans for the project.
ACE Mineral Claims
Revival Gold currently holds a 75% interest in certain other mineral claims (known as the ACE mineral claims) located within the Beartrack-Arnett property. The ACE mineral claims are peripheral to the known Mineral Resources at Beartrack-Arnett. The holding of this property package and the exploration priority are under review.
“We are pleased to have extended the Beartrack property earn-in period and to have completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Barnett claims”, said Hugh Agro, President and CEO. “The Barnett claims offer exciting exploration potential and the added flexibility with the Beartrack property earn-in will allow Revival Gold to continue to build overall project value through the current turbulent market”, added Agro.
Figure 1 below illustrates the Beartrack-Arnett property interests referenced in this press release.

BERLIN (AP) — Hans-Christian Stroebele, a German lawyer who defended members of the far-left Red Army Faction and later became the Green party’s first directly elected constituency lawmaker, has died. He was 83.
German news agency dpa quoted his attorney, Johannes Eisenberg, saying Wednesday that Stroebele died on Aug. 29 after a long illness.
Stroebele, the son of a jurist and a chemist, first rose to prominence in 1970 as one of three lawyers acting for members of the RAF militant group — also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang — that carried out numerous politically motivated attacks whose targets included U.S. troops in Germany. Fellow lawyer Horst Mahler later swung to the far right, while another, Otto Schily, became Germany’s top security official.
Stroebele helped found the Berlin section of the Greens, a party that would stir up German politics from the 1980s onward.
While the Greens have since moved firmly into the center-ground, joining a coalition government under Social Democratic Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder from 1998 to 2005 and current Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-way alliance, Stroebele remained a gadfly on the left-wing of the party, opposing Germany’s military involvement abroad and campaigning against U.S. bases in Germany.
In 2002, he campaigned for a parliamentary seat in Berlin by targeting the Greens’ moderate leadership, and won the party’s first constituency majority in the capital’s left-leaning Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district. Previously all Greens lawmakers had won their mandates under Germany’s system of allocating roughly half of all seats, according to proportional representation.
In 2013, Stroebele sought to gain safe passage for former NSA contractor Edward Snowden to travel to Berlin from his exile in Moscow to testify before a parliamentary inquiry into U.S. intelligence eavesdropping in Germany. The German government refused to grant Snowden political asylum, however.
Scholz paid tribute to Stroebele on Wednesday, saying he was “driven to engage in politics that would change society.”
“With Christian Stroebele, Germany loses a pugnacious politician who helped shape the political debate for decades,” the German leader said.

BERLIN (AP) — An American court has thrown out a lawsuit against a German museum foundation over a medieval treasure trove that was filed by heirs of Nazi-era Jewish art dealers, saying that the U.S. lacked jurisdiction to hear such a lawsuit.
The foundation that oversees Berlin’s museums said in a statement Tuesday that the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia last week granted the foundation’s motion to dismiss the 2015 restitution lawsuit that was brought against it, bringing the case to an end in the U.S., absent an appeal by the plaintiff.
The Welfenschatz, or Guelph Treasure, which is at the center of a long-running ownership dispute, includes silver and gold crucifixes, altars, intricate silverwork and other relics worth more than 200 million euros (dollars).
The collection, which has been on display in Berlin since the early 1960s and is currently at the city’s Bode Museum, is considered the largest collection of German church treasures in public hands.
The heirs maintained that their ancestors had no choice but to sell the Christian artifacts in 1935 to the Nazi government for less than their value.
The state-run foundation that owns the collection has said the collectors weren’t forced to sell the treasures, arguing among other things that the collection was not even in Germany at the time of its sale.
On Tuesday, the president of the museum foundation, also known as the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz or SPK, Herrmann Parzinger, welcomed the court decision.
“SPK is pleased with the district court’s ruling, which affirms SPK’s long-held assessment that this lawsuit seeking the restitution of the Guelph Treasure should not be heard in a U.S. court,” Parzinger said.
“SPK has also long maintained that this lawsuit lacked merit, as the Guelph Treasure’s sale in 1935 was not a forced sale due to Nazi persecution,” he added.
The heirs originally pressed their claims in Germany, but a German commission found the artworks’ sale was made voluntarily and for fair market value. A suit was then filed in the United States. Germany and the SPK foundation argued the case did not belong in American courts.
The U.S. District Court’s ruling follows a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in February 2021 that had overturned a lower court’s denial of the Berlin foundation’s previous motion to dismiss this lawsuit. | https://www.wlns.com/entertainment-news/ap-us-court-dismisses-nazi-era-guelph-treasure-art-dispute/ | 2022-08-31T11:46:25Z | https://www.wlns.com/entertainment-news/ap-us-court-dismisses-nazi-era-guelph-treasure-art-dispute/ | false | 35 |
Hiqa has found children in a Special Care Unit in Limerick were not safe at the facility due to an escalation of incidents there, the physical decline of the building and challenges over adequate staffing.
It also found that Tusla had failed to report allegations of abuse made by children or serious injuries to it.
The health watchdog found that the Tusla-run Coovagh House in Limerick posed "a significant risk to children’s safety and protection" because the physical environment could not provide safe living spaces for all four children living there. It also found that one child missed a hospital appointment because there was not sufficient staff to take them.
The Health Information and Quality Authority said it conducted the unannounced risk-based inspection last June on foot of information received by the Chief Inspector that the provider intended to move two of the four children detained in the unit to an alternative, non-registered Tusla centre, to allow building work on the special care unit.
HIQA said: "Staff, social workers and guardians’ ad litem told inspectors that there were times when children were not kept safe. Staff told us they were challenged by some of the behaviour of children."
However, according to HIQA: "Children could not move on from the special care unit when they were ready to do so due to the lack of onward placements available to the provider. This limited the options available to the provider to respond to emergencies and the lack of resources impacted the viability of contingency plans."
According to the report: "On a walk around of the premises, inspectors saw damage throughout the building resulting from an escalation in incidents involving damage to property, coupled with a general decline in the quality of the building over time."
One child said "The place is a dump and it has to be fixed", while others said "the place is a wreck" and "half the doors are broken".
The building had been divided into two individual living areas for single occupancy living and one child said "it is not a nice life" and that they felt "punished for the behaviour of others."
Another child said that they had missed a hospital appointment because there were not enough staff to take them to it, something that was confirmed by the person in charge.
"Overall, the centre was non-compliant with all of the regulations assessed," HIQA said, adding that management had acknowledged challenges in the previous six months in relation to staff recruitment and retention, an escalation in incidents of children’s challenging behaviour, and physical decline of the building.
"At the time of the inspection, inspectors found that the physical environment could not provide safe living spaces for all four children. This posed significant risk to children’s safety and protection and while two of the four children were living off-site at the time of the inspection, their substantive placement in the unit was maintained. However, inspectors were assured that this reduction in the capacity of the centre enabled the provider to provide safe care for the remaining two children."
HIQA found that auditing processes in relation to the management of incidents, complaints and allegations concerning children in the unit were not effective and that "the provider in charge had also failed to notify the Chief Inspector of several serious incidents in the special care unit relating to allegations of abuse made by children or serious injuries sustained by children."
HIQA said the Child and Family Agency had taken measures to mitigate against any immediate risk to the safety of children and staff, but that the centre’s risk management processes were "ineffective at addressing risks at an earlier stage".
Tusla provided HIQA with assurances in relation to the high-risk non-compliances relating to governance and management, risk management and the notification of incidents to the Chief Inspector and has also submitted a plan outlining how it intends to come into full compliance. | https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster/arid-40951481.html | 2022-08-31T11:46:29Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster/arid-40951481.html | true | 2 |
Rail strikes set to affect Glasgow train services in September
More rail strikes have been announced.
Glasgow train users will be affected next month, after the TSSA union announced that workers at nine train companies would be going on strike.
The rail union revealed that 24-hour industrial action would be held from Monday, September 26, to Tuesday, September 27.
While ScotRail is not among the groups - it agreed a pay deal with train drivers’ union ASLEF in July - Avanti West Coast is.
Most Popular
The train company runs key services between London and Glasgow, as well as Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh.
The strike is over pay and working conditions, and will involve Network Rail.
The union says it remains in talks with Network Rail about a possible settlement and has urged the UK Government to allow train companies to get back around the table for discussions.
Commenting, TSSA union leader Manuel Cortes said: “The dead hand of Grant Shapps is sadly stopping DfT train operating companies from making a revised, meaningful offer.
“Frankly, he either sits across the negotiating table with our union or gets out of the way to allow railway bosses to freely negotiate with us, as they have done in the past.
“The reason for the current impasse lies squarely at Shapps’ door and passengers are paying a high price for his incompetence and intransigence.
"I welcome the fact that negotiations are ongoing with Network Rail and the gap towards a resolution is narrowing. Time will tell whether a deal can be done to avert our next strike.
"I will be standing on our picket line in Liverpool and will be encouraging fellow delegates and Labour MPs to do likewise, so they can rightly show they stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those fighting the Tories’ cost of living crisis." | https://www.glasgowworld.com/news/traffic-and-travel/rail-strikes-set-to-affect-glasgow-train-services-in-september-3825319 | 2022-08-31T11:49:16Z | https://www.glasgowworld.com/news/traffic-and-travel/rail-strikes-set-to-affect-glasgow-train-services-in-september-3825319 | true | 4 |
A mum-of-four with a £200-a-day heroin habit turned to sex work to fuel her "chaotic lifestyle" was caught with crack cocaine and heroin. Jade Taylor-Harrison was arrested after police saw her supply men in an alleyway near an Aldi store in Newcastle. Cops recovered £270 and a list of her sales. And she admitted selling 90 deals of crack cocaine and heroin a week.
The 29-year-old was released but about five weeks later she was stopped and searched in Newcastle. She was found to have eight wraps of cocaine and one wrap of heroin. Taylor-Harrison said she owed £800 after the previous arrest and would be stabbed if she did not repay the debt.
She said she was using £160 to £200 worth of heroin each day which she funded through prostitution. Now Taylor-Harrison has been jailed for 27 months at Stoke Crown Court.

Prosecutor Caroline Harris said a plain clothes police officer saw the defendant hand something to two men in an alleyway near Aldi shortly before 2pm on September 4, 2020. The officer called for assistance and a colleague arrived and arrested the defendant. At the police station the defendant's handbag was searched and police recovered £270 cash and a list of her sales.
In her police interview the defendant said she sold the two men two wraps of crack cocaine for £35. She said she had a £60 a day heroin habit and had been recruited by her dealer who she would not name. She said she was selling 90 deals of heroin and crack cocaine a week, some to people she knew and some to others she was directed to meet by the dealer. She added that she had withdrawn £90 from the bank but the rest was from selling drugs. She was released.
But about a month later, on October 14, she was stopped in Church Street, Newcastle, and told she was to be searched for drugs. She said she had crack cocaine and heroin on her person and handed over a package. It contained eight wraps of crack cocaine and one wrap of heroin. Officers also seized £240.
In her interview she said she was selling on behalf of someone else and selling three deals for £20. She was acting under compulsion but would not name the person. She said she owed £800 after the previous arrest. She added she would be stabbed if she did not repay the debt. She said she was using £160 to £200 worth of heroin each day which she funded through prostitution. She added that the £240 was all from selling drugs and was to be passed on to her dealer.
Taylor-Harrison, of Standersfoot Place, Chell Heath, pleaded guilty to two charges of being concerned in the supply of a class A drug; two charges of being in possession of a class A drug with intent to supply; and failure to surrender to bail. Robert Holt, mitigating, said the defendant is now on a methadone script and it is hoped she will not need drugs or any substitute in six months. He said a friend has offered her a home at his address in Abbey Hulton.
Mr Holt said: "She intends to distance herself from individuals. She will move away from her chaotic lifestyle." He said the offending happened nearly two years ago and the person who was directing her is now in custody. Mr Holt added that Taylor-Harrison has started to re-engage with her four children.
Recorder Richard McConaghy said the first arrest should have been a shot across the defendant's bows. He said: "Just over a month later you were seen by police again. You had eight wraps of cocaine and one wrap of heroin and £240. I do not underestimate the pressure put on those in your position. Class A drugs have a horrendous grip on individuals. They destroy lives of users and damage the community.
"You are beginning to realise it is something you need to move away from. But it is not something that happens overnight. It is going to take time and effort on your part to do it. The warning shot was sent to you in September 2020 but you ignored it. You were arrested for the supply of class A drugs and a month later you committed the same type of offending again."
The judge ordered the forfeiture and destruction of the drugs and phones and ordered the forfeiture of £510.

Sticker mission for footie fan
A nine-year-old schoolboy is on a mission to get 500 packets of Panini football stickers signed by every single player in the Premier League.
Most Popular
Zakai Vaknin, from Spixworth in Norfolk, has been buying stickers since December last year with the hope of getting them all signed by the league’s famous footballers.
The kind-hearted footie fan doesn’t intend to keep them though! He’s actually collecting them all to auction off and raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.
Zakai, who is a huge fan of Tottenham Hotspur, decided he wanted to help the famous hospital because of the treatment it’s been able to give his friend Charlie Grimes, who has cerebral palsy.
Eleven teams have already signed Zakai’s cards, with the schoolboy counting players Harry Kane (pictured above) and Son Heung-min among his proudest autographs. He now hopes to continue his mission until he makes it a full house!

When Elijah Green was just 9 years old, his AAU football team met weekly for a bonding activity different from most.
The football parents would park their cars and walk their kids up to a steep hill, located under a highway bridge in Orlando. Green and his young teammates would race to the top as the Florida sun beat down on them.
Even once Green had stopped playing football and focused on baseball, the sessions - organized by his dad, Eric - continued, with father and son making the 20-minute drive from their home in Windermere, Fla. The drills evolved. So did Green.
Runs up the hill turned into runs with a weighted vest. Those runs transformed into sprints with a medicine ball. Green would carry the medicine over his head, using his leg strength to reach the top.
"Sometimes he hates [the hill] because it's not easy," Eric Green said. "And I always tell him, 'If it was easy, everybody would be out here doing this. This is the special group that's doing this type of stuff.' And he bought into it."
Eventually, Green developed into a top prospect, and by 18, was facing a mountain of expectations - a once-timid kid, finding ways to deal with intense pressure and increased attention. That attention grew considerably on a July day in California, when the Washington Nationals made the high school outfielder the No. 5 overall selection in the 2022 MLB draft.
The pick meant that Green could become something of a source of hope for a fan base in need of one. It meant that he became another name on a long list of prospects to watch as Washington, not all that far removed from its 2019 World Series triumph, resets and rebuilds. But for Green, it also meant the end of one journey and the start of a new one, placing him at the bottom of a hill again, hoping to make his way to the top.
Eric Green played for four NFL teams over 10 seasons, including the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, where he made two Pro Bowl appearances. His career meant he could give his family a comfortable home, but he wanted to make sure his seven children didn't trade their comfort for work ethic.
"I wanted them to see what life can be outside of these doors and outside of this gated community," Eric said. "It worked out well for [Elijah] because he got tougher. He got to develop a competitiveness that was unmatched when he got to other places."
The youngest of his siblings, Green was shy growing up, with a quiet demeanor that showed on the playing field, too.
Eric recalls how his son would play in a church basketball league as a boy. Kids kept stealing the ball from him. Green wasn't bothered by it. But that bothered his dad.
So Eric got his son into football. Green eventually joined the Apopka Raptors, an AAU team on which he starred for six seasons and won four championships. But football wasn't Green's passion and - even though he was better at it - he quit the sport to focus on baseball.
Around the same time, Green began to work with A.J. Brooks, a former Boston College running back. Brooks, now a speed and conditioning coach, said that Green, still a reserved kid, was "a freak of nature" with "elite speed," even when he met Green at 13.
The two began to train so Green could stay in optimal shape. (Yes, Brooks incorporated the hill into workouts.) But as Green grew older, Brooks wanted him to use his arm strength to generate power and develop a quicker first step, which could help him in base paths and in the outfield.
Green's speed was notable as a high school freshman. Brian Martinez, his head coach during his freshman and sophomore years at TNXL Academy, said "the ground shakes" when Green runs.
"If he focused on track, and that was something that he really wanted to take serious, I truly believe that he could be an Olympic track athlete for the USA," Brooks said. "He possesses that kind of speed."
Green was making waves around the state of Florida as a freshman, when he could hit 92-mph fastballs off junior college pitchers. He took classes at West Orange High in Winter Garden and played ball for TNXL Academy with Martinez for his first two years of high school.
He kept to himself, Martinez said, and had a quiet demeanor. He also showed an ability to adjust quickly, which helped him transition smoothly when game speed picked up or he struggled at the plate. Along the way, the buzz around him grew.
"We'd walk into places and little kids are asking him for his autographs when he's 16 years old," Martinez said. "He's kind of a celebrity, like everybody talked about him since he was young. So I've never seen the hype that a person's gotten like him."
The attention wasn't just in Florida. Videos of Green playing summer ball hit social media as his star grew. And after a strong sophomore summer, Green jumped to the top of the rankings for his draft class. He left for IMG Academy, an elite preparatory sports academy in Bradenton, Fla., ahead of his junior year.
Dan Simonds, director of baseball at IMG Academy, said traveling with Elijah was like traveling with "a member of the Beatles." The program's technical director, John Russell, remembers kids at a tournament in Alabama trying to convince their parents to wait around so they could watch Green and get a signature.
During games, fans and high-schoolers heckled him from behind the plate with every at-bat, cheering when he struck out. Eric Green felt that his son might have been trying to do too much to prove he belonged early in his IMG career.
"Even in the minors, you really don't have guys who come up to the plate and they have built such a reputation around themselves with how good they are that people get excited when they strike out," said Diamyn Hall, a leadership coach at IMG. "So this is an 18-year-old who was experiencing this and he handled it like a professional."
Green hit .462 with a 1.592 OPS, recording nine home runs and 32 RBI in 25 games his senior year. He became more vocal too, his father said. He picked his teammates up when they were down after bad plays at the plate or in the field, and offered tips to his teammates during practice.
Simonds said Green's teammates took to that work ethic and tried to follow in his footsteps. Green would often take swings in the cage after practices and, slowly, the coaches noticed how Green's teammates would show up to work with him after-hours, too.
"Everything kind of gets amplified to a point where you know, there are 16-, 17- and 18-year-olds that have a brand out there on social media," IMG national team head coach Dave Turgeon said. "But he was able to separate that from reality ... he knew that he had work to do. He's playing for a team and he's playing for his teammates. And to be at that age and to be able to handle that is special."
Green has just started his professional baseball career, but the expectations and pressure are even greater than before. He'll be continued to be evaluated by how quickly he makes adjustments.
Those around Green said it's not a matter of if, but when, Green will put together all the pieces together. But no one is more confident in himself than Green. When he visited Nationals Park in late July, he said he could change the game with one swing. Then, he said he hoped to be in the majors in two to three years.
Green was pretty quiet for the rest of his visit. He didn't say much, unless he was talking to his mom, Leslie; his sister, Emani; his agent, David Meter; or members of the Nationals organization. But when he was blasting balls out of the park with big leaguers watching nearby, he looked like he knew he belonged.
"He's not boastful, he's very modest," said Brooks, the conditioning coach from Florida. "But every time he steps on the field, whether it's training or some type of competition, he knows and his peers know - he's the best player out there." | https://www.postguam.com/sports/nation/elijah-green-is-18-and-at-the-dawn-of-his-nats-career/article_e3924d7c-27e0-11ed-aa90-3beda4bb6cee.html | 2022-08-31T11:59:10Z | https://www.postguam.com/sports/nation/elijah-green-is-18-and-at-the-dawn-of-his-nats-career/article_e3924d7c-27e0-11ed-aa90-3beda4bb6cee.html | false | 2 |
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Armonica Technologies, Inc., a biotechnology company developing a novel DNA sequencing system based on single molecule spectroscopy, announced that the company has been awarded a follow-on Phase II SBIR grant from the NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute for "Single molecule DNA/RNA transport and Raman scattering readout in a coupled nanochannel/nanopore sequencing system." The award of $2M is in support of the company's single molecule long read sequencing technology that detects all nucleic acid molecules including any chemical or conformational modifications.
The company's CSO Steve Brueck said, "long-read, single-molecule, label-free sequencing that directly reads native DNA including epigenetic modifications, is considered the ultimate solution for DNA sequencing research and clinical applications. Armonica's unique technology provides the exciting capability to read the optical spectra, or 'spectral fingerprint,' of individual nucleotides, including any epigenetic modifications. Measurements are made at the single molecule level using surface-enhanced Raman scattering." As part of the award, Armonica is partnering with Professor Jeremy Edwards' high-throughput DNA sequencing laboratory (University of New Mexico, Chemical and Chemical Biology Department), as well as Professor Eric Potma's laboratory for Chemical and Biological Imaging (University of California-Irvine, Chemistry Department).
Armonica has demonstrated the ability to linearize and control the motion of single large molecules of single and double strand DNA and has demonstrated single base sensitivity using a proprietary SERS approach that is inexpensively integrated with its nanochannel/nanopore devices.

Ty Tennant: Is David Tennant’s son starring in House of the Dragon?
20-year-old is thought to be playing a teenage version of Prince Aegon Targaryen in the show
The Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon, stars many famous faces – from Matt Smith and Paddy Considine to Olivia Cooke.
A relative newcomer reportedly joining these actors on screen is 20-year-old Ty Tennant, the son of Doctor Who star David Tennant and his wife, the actor Georgia Tennant. David adopted Georgia’s son Ty back in 2011, the same year the couple got married.
It has not yet been officially disclosed who Ty is playing in the HBO show, but it is thought that he is portraying a teenage version of Prince Aegon Targaryen, after Georgia posted a picture of her son at the series premiere with the hashtag #aegontargaryen.
Viewers might have seen Ty on screen before, as a New York gang leader in the 2021 BBC drama Around the World in 80 Days. He co-starred with his father David in the show. David previously said working with his son was “quite weird”.
“It’s a bit of a transition when you move from a parental relationship to colleagues at work,” he said. “I did not get him the job. Steve Barron, our director, heard that Ty was acting and went and checked him out and thought, ‘Oh, he’s pretty good, let’s have him.’”
He continued: “And then suddenly you’re on set and having to interact in a slightly different way. It’s a mixture of kind of parental pride and worry, I suppose. But actually, the truth is that he’s so professional and assured and at home on set that I just really loved it.”
Ty has also appeared briefly in the superhero show Doom Patrol as ghost Edwin Paine and he had a recurring role as Tom Gresham in the US series War of the Worlds when he was a teenager.
Other credits of Ty’s include a small part as a troubled youngster, Aaron McKiernan, in BBC medical soap Casualty, and a role as the young Christopher Wiseman in the 2019 film Tolkien.
Earlier this year, Georgia shared a photograph of Ty carrying his two-year-old sister, Birdie, on Instagram.

Sign up“Good Omens, the prequel,” she wrote in the caption.
Georgia was referring to the Neil Gaiman fantasy series, in which David stars as demon Crowley and Michael Sheen appears as angel Aziraphale.
As well as Ty and Birdie, the couple share Olive, 11, Wilfred, eight and Doris, six.
While many of the details of House of the Dragon have been kept under wraps by the show’s creators, over the last few weeks more and more information has been made public.
Smith said he found himself questioning the number of sex scenes that were required while filming the HBO series.
Meanwhile, co-star Steve Toussaint has claimed that the series will present sex and violence in a different way to Game of Thrones.
In an interview last week, actor Eve Best revealed the strange audition process the cast went through for the high-profile series.

How the Hindi film industry resuscitates after the successive failure of three big-budget Hindi films—Shamshera, Laal Singh Chaddha and Liger—in the last two months, will depend a lot on how Ayan Mukherji’s Brahmāstra: Part One - Shiva opens at the box office and how the film resonates with movie lovers across the country.
One of the most expensive films every produced out of India, reportedly with a budget of Rs 300-plus crore, Brahmāstra has Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy, Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna in the main cast and releases on September 9.
It’s a release as wide across formats and screens as it’s possible: In 3D, IMAX 3D, and 4DX 3D; and in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada across 3,000-plus screens. S.S. Rajamouli will present the film in the four South Indian languages. The first film in a planned trilogy as part of its own cinematic universe called Astraverse, Kapoor plays the protagonist Shiva, a DJ whom fire can’t burn or singe. He also holds the power to awaken the brahmāstra, a supernatural weapon that can destroy the universe. Junoon, “a queen of dark forces” played by Mouni Roy, is also on a quest to get hold of the brahmāstra. It has been described by makers as an origin story about India.

Ever since it has become obvious that OTTs have almost killed the market for smaller-budget Hindi and other Indian language films in theatres, film producers both from the South as well as Bollywood studios have turned to mythology. Mythological films haven’t had as much success in any other film-loving countries and cultures as they have in India. Now, when it’s obvious the theatre experience has to offer something much more than a story, immersive spectacles are being seen as safe bets. So for filmmakers it is convenient as well as ambitious to attempt stories from Hindu mythology with big mounting prospects for different formats of the film-viewing experience.
One of the earliest Hindu mythology blockbusters in India was Vijay Sharma’s Jai Santoshi Maa (1975), a story of devotion and divine miracles done in a pulpy style of exaggerated emotions that was already in vogue in South Indian films. MGR in Tamil, NTR in Telugu, Rajkumar in Kannada or Prem Nazeer in Malayalam—all of these were the demi-gods of their times, film stars whom people worshipped, giving equal stature to them as their deities, and their roles becoming instrumental in gaining mileage in their subsequent political careers.
Going by the slate of big-budget Hindu mythologicals planned for release till the end of 2023, with around Rs2,000 crore, riding on them, it will be a test for producers and filmmakers that will decide whether mythologicals still can translate to profitable big screen experiences.

The first multi-language big release after Brahmāstra, on 30 September, is Mani Ratnam’s dream project Ponniyin Selvan. Based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 novel Ponniyin Selvan, this is the second attempt in Tamil cinema to adapt the book, replete with intrigues, sacrifices, victories and betrayals in the Chola dynasty. Made at an estimated budget of Rs500 crore, Ponniyin Selvan has Vikram, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shobita Dhulipala, Trisha and Amitabh Bachchan in the main roles. The production of Ponniyin Selvan kick-started in November last year and a major chunk of its shoot has been wrapped up already. It will be released in two-parts like Baahubali in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada languages. A.R. Rahman has composed the music and Ravi Varman is the cinematographer.
Made with as big a budget as Ponniyin Selvan in two parts, with the first part releasing on January 12, 2023, is Adipurush, based on the Ramayana, which was shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu. Om Raut who earlier directed the Ajay Devgn-starrer Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior, is directing Telugu star Prabhas in the role of Ram and Saif Ali Khan in the role of Raavan.
Abhishek Sharma, who directed Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran, has helmed Ram Setu, an adventure drama made with a budget of around Rs 90 crore, with Akshay Kumar in the lead role as an archaeologist who investigates the nature of the Ram Setu, the bridge linking Rameshwaram to Sri Lanka’s Mannar Island. Shot in Ayodhya, Ram Setu is this year’s big-ticket Diwali release (October 24).
In various stage of production are five more films, scheduled to release in the next one to two years. First there's The Immortal Ashwatthama: actor Vicky Kaushal (to play the lead role), director Aditya Dhar and producer Ronnie Screwvala have come together for the multi-crore budget film on the eponymous Mahabharata character, Guru Dronacharya’s son who fought on the Kauravas side in the battle of Kurukshetra.
Second, a Rs 700 crore-plus budget Ramayana, a live-action trilogy in 3D, to be produced by Allu Aravind, Madhu Mantena and Namit Malhotra and directed by Nitesh Tiwari (Dangal) and Ravi Udyawar (Mom).
Third, the Madhu Mantena-produced Draupadi with Deepika Padukone in the lead role.
Fourth, a biopic of Suheldev, based on Amish Tripathi’s book and with Ajay Devgn in the lead role, about a warrior king from Shravasti, Uttar Pradesh, who defeated Mahmud of Ghazni in the Battle of Bahraich in 11th century AD and reconstructed the Somnath Temple, which was earlier demolished by Ghazni.
And fifth, Hiranyakashyap, with a Rs 150 crore-plus budget, for which actor Rana Daggubati and director Gunashekhar have come together again after the smash hit Rudhramadevi, based on the mythology around the demon king Hiranyakashyap.
For the Hindu mythological to work, storytelling finesse and performances are going to be the main indices of success, as the last few months have proved. A star and a budget alone can no longer make a film sing at the Indian box office. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/entertainment/box-office-divine-intervention-9111861.html/amp | 2022-08-31T12:04:04Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/entertainment/box-office-divine-intervention-9111861.html/amp | true | 2 |

Artificial sweeteners should 'not be assumed to be safe' because they make cells less able to absorb sugar and change gut microbiome, study says: Experts warn they may raise diabetes risk
Artificial sweeteners used in diet sodas and low-fat desserts should 'not be assumed safe,' an Israeli scientist has warned — after his study found they made it harder for cells to absorb sugar and changed the gut microbiome.
Researchers led by the Weizmann Institute of Science near Tel Aviv, Israel, and Johns Hopkins University in Maryland gave 120 people one of four sweeteners or a placebo up to three times a week for 14 days at doses lower than the recommended limits.
They found those who got aspartame and stevia — often found in diet sodas and juices — had an altered gut microbiome. But those who got saccharin and sucralose — a common sugar substitute in baking — were also less able to absorb sugar.
Dr. Eran Elinav, the microbiologist who led the study, said: 'We should not assume [sweeteners] are safe until proven otherwise. Until then, caution is advised.'
Previous studies have also linked sweeteners to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity, but have also shown they can help with short-term weight loss.
For the study, published this month in the journal Cell, scientists only recruited healthy people around 29 years old who had not previously consumed a sweetener.
They were randomized into six groups to receive either a sweetener from commercially-available sachets, a sugar or a placebo.
In the experiment they received supplements up to three times a week, although not in doses higher than the 50 milligrams (mg) per kilo of body weight recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Some popular sweeteners do not require premarket approval from the FDA
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates most sweeteners as food additives.
But several — including stevia which can be used in diet drinks — are not closely monitored because they are considered to be 'generally recognized as safe' (GRAS).
It has approved all those in the Israeli study as safe for use.
Food additives and GRAS both must be determined by scientists to meet 'the safety standard of reasonable certainty of no harm under the intended conditions of its use,' according to the FDA.
They range from being about 100 to more than 700 times sweeter than sugar.
To monitor how sweeteners effected blood sugar levels, participants wore glucose monitors for the whole of the trial. Glucose tolerance tests were also administered.
To further investigate this, stool samples were also taken from participants and implanted into mice who had no gut microbiome.
Results showed problems with absorbing sugar in two of the sweetener groups, while all four showed changes to the gut microbiome.
Elinav, who runs his own lab, told the Times of Israel: 'Our trial has shown that non-nutritive sweeteners may impair glucose responses by altering our microbiome.
'In my opinion as a physician, once it has been noted that non-nutritive sweeteners are not inert to the human body, the burden of proof of demonstrating or refuting their potential impacts on human health is at the responsibility of those promoting their use.
'And we should not assume they are safe until proven otherwise. Until then, caution is advised.'
When asked by DailyMail.com whether his study suggested sweeteners may raise the risk of diabetes, Elinav said: 'We need to do long-term studies to investigate this.
'But, given these very substantial findings caution is advised — especially for more at risk groups.'
He added that consuming sugars continued to be a 'well-proven health risk for obesity, diabetes and their health implications.'
Sweeteners are a popular sugar replacement in the United States, where more than a third of adults are obese, and many are looking to lose weight.
But while evidence suggests they may help with short-term weight loss, the long term impacts are less clear — with some papers warning they may even lead to weight gain.
The World Health Organization launched a public consultation on the health effects of sweeteners this year, as they make their way into more and more foods.
In its meta-analysis of studies, the organization concluded: 'Results from prospective cohort studies suggest the possibility of long-term harm in the form of increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and mortality.
'Further research is needed to determine whether the observed associations are genuine, or a result of [study design].'
In the United States, most sweeteners are regulated by the FDA as food additives. But stevia — one of the four sweeteners in the study — does not fall into this category because it is 'generally recognized as safe' (GRAS).
Food additives must undergo premarket review and approval by the FDA before they can be used in food, while GRAS substances do not require premarket approval. This allows a company to independently decide whether or not to use them without notifying the FDA.
All four sweeteners tested in the study have been approved for consumption by the regulatory body. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2719860824378/artificial-sweeteners-should-not-be-assumed-to-be-safe-because-they-make-cells-less-able-to-absorb-sugar-and-change-gut-microbiome-study-says-experts-warn-they-may-raise-diabetes-risk | 2022-08-31T12:08:51Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2719860824378/artificial-sweeteners-should-not-be-assumed-to-be-safe-because-they-make-cells-less-able-to-absorb-sugar-and-change-gut-microbiome-study-says-experts-warn-they-may-raise-diabetes-risk | false | 1 |
Shopper interest in electric vehicles, or EVs, is rising. According to data from the Pew Research Center in 2021, 40% of non-EV owners are very or somewhat likely to purchase an EV as their next vehicle. But many of the latest models are also pricey; a Rivian R1T pickup, for example, starts at more than $70,000 and can easily cost more than $90,000.
Thankfully, there are lower-priced EVs on the market, and two compelling picks are the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Bolt EV.
The Nissan Leaf is the pioneering EV for people wanting a low-price zero-emission ride. The 2023 model starts at $28,895 including destination fees, and the Leaf Plus model with a longer driving range has a starting price tag of $36,895.
Chevy has an eye toward value too. The Bolt EV used to cost more than $30,000, but for the 2023 model year, Chevrolet dropped the starting price to $26,595. Even a more well-equipped the Bolt EV 2LT model tops out at around $31,000.
Which one is the better buy? Edmunds car experts compared both EVs to find out.
POWER, DRIVING RANGE AND CHARGING
Budget EVs used to be known for short driving ranges and little power, but that’s not completely the case with these rivals. The short-range Leaf S produces 147 horsepower and has an EPA-estimated driving range of 149 miles. Those numbers are unremarkable, but the longer-range SV Plus model packs a more competitive 214-horsepower electric motor and a driving range of 212 miles. Edmunds also ran the Leaf Plus through its real-world range testing and managed to make it 237 miles on a full charge.
The Bolt EV only has one model to choose from, and it boasts 200 horsepower and an EPA-estimated range of 259 miles. It also went farther in Edmunds’ real-world testing: 278 miles.
Both EVs can be charged at home or at a public DC-fast charging station. Charging times are similar at home, but when equipped with the larger battery, the Leaf will charge quicker at a fast-charging station. However, the Leaf has an CHAdeMO-style charge port, which may not be supported at all fast-charging stations.
Winner: Bolt EV
TECHNOLOGY AND FEATURES
These budget-friendly EVs come surprisingly well equipped with tech and other features. Both Leaf models have a sizable 8-inch touchscreen and support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. The base Leaf S comes standard with several advanced driver aids and the SV Plus model adds the ProPilot Assist system, which combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering for easier highway driving. Leather seats or an upgraded audio system aren’t offered.
The Bolt EV packs a larger 10.2-inch touchscreen with crisper-looking graphics. The Bolt EV’s base 1LT trim comes with fewer driver aids, but the top 2LT trim costs about the same as the base Leaf S and adds more driver aids plus leather seats. It can also be optioned with adaptive cruise control and a Bose audio system for not much more.
Winner: Bolt EV
DRIVING AND COMFORT
Both EVs are zippy around town and boast similar 0-60 mph acceleration. One-pedal driving, which allows you to slow the vehicle down by lifting off the accelerator pedal, can be done in either EV. It can make driving easier and increase range.
In terms of comfort, the Leaf has more supportive front seats than the Bolt, and it offers a smoother ride. The Bolt EV’s ride is still pretty comfortable, but unlike the Leaf, rough patches of road and potholes can create a choppy and busy ride. Without loud gasoline engines, you might think road and wind noise is prevalent, but both EVs do a great job keeping outside noise to a minimum.
Winner: Leaf
PASSENGER AND CARGO SPACE
The Leaf and Bolt EV are plenty practical thanks to their hatchback body styles. The biggest difference is cargo space. Behind the rear seats, the Leaf’s 23.6 cubic feet of cargo room beats the Bolt EV’s 16.6 cubic feet. Passenger room is similar. Head and shoulder room are almost identical in both the front and rear seats, but the Bolt EV offers more front and rear seat legroom. Ultimately, the superior pick here depends on what you need more of.
Winner: tie
EDMUNDS SAYS:
With a starting price lower than the base short-range Leaf S and significantly less than the SV Plus model, the Bolt EV wins this comparison. Potential Bolt buyers may want to wait until 2023 when it will once again be eligible for an EV tax credit up to $7,500 thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. This makes the Bolt an even more affordable option. But it’s not just about the price; the Bolt EV also wins out with its longer driving range and superior infotainment system.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus on Wednesday lifted the obligatory use of face masks in all indoor areas after the island nation’s top health official said epidemiological data amid the coronavirus pandemic have “significantly improved.”
Health Minister Michalis Hadjipantela told reporters after a Cabinet meeting that the mask rule still applies to hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, pharmacies and public transport.
It’s recommended that those with chronic ailments continue using face coverings.
All capacity limitations were also lifted as of Wednesday for restaurants, nightclubs, retail stores, shopping malls, casinos, sports stadiums and churches.
Primary school pupils will be supplied with five self-tests each on their return to classes on Sept. 12. Authorities recommend that teachers and students get either self-tested or undergo a rapid test before the start of classes.
The COVID-19 infection rate receded to 3.54%, with nine of 57 people receiving hospital treatment diagnosed as being in serious condition, for the week of Aug. 19-25, according to Health Ministry statistics.
About 16 people, ranging in age from 66 to 99, died from COVID-19 for the same week, bringing the overall total in Cyprus since the pandemic began to 1,168. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Cyprus-lifts-COVID-19-mask-rule-indoor-capacity-17409471.php | 2022-08-31T12:13:16Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Cyprus-lifts-COVID-19-mask-rule-indoor-capacity-17409471.php | false | 33 |
China's Guangzhou tightens COVID curbs as parts of north join in
"And even if they are avoided, we expect growth to remain subdued going forward." Guangzhou, a city of nearly 19 million residents near Hong Kong, reported just five locally transmitted infections for Tuesday but authorities ordered some areas in one district to halt indoor entertainment and restaurant dining until Saturday.
- Country:
- China
Parts of China's southern city of Guangzhou imposed COVID-19 curbs on Wednesday, joining the tech hub of Shenzhen in battling flare-ups, but fuelling uncertainty over commerce and daily life in two of the region's most economically vibrant metropolises.
Several of China's biggest cities have stepped up COVID-19 restrictions this week, curtailing the activities of tens of millions of people. Authorities looking to balance economic needs with the effort to contain every outbreak said the curbs would run for just a few days, although two northern provincial capitals extended them slightly.
China's so-called "dynamic COVID zero" policy makes it an outlier as other countries gradually do away with curbs, despite the cost to the world's second-largest economy, which already faces slower growth. Capital Economics estimates 41 cities, responsible for 32% of China's GDP, are grappling outbreaks - the highest number since April.
"For now, the resulting disruption appears modest, but the threat of damaging lockdowns is growing," said Julian Evans-Pritchard, senior China economist at the consultancy. "And even if they are avoided, we expect growth to remain subdued going forward."
Guangzhou, a city of nearly 19 million residents near Hong Kong, reported just five locally transmitted infections for Tuesday but authorities ordered some areas in one district to halt indoor entertainment and restaurant dining until Saturday. It also ordered most school grades in the district to delay returning for the fall semester and halt any physical sessions already begun, state media said, while bus and subway services were also scaled back.
In Shenzhen, at least four districts with about 9 million residents, have ordered closure of entertainment and cultural businesses and halted or reduced restaurant dining for a few days. The city's district of Yantian locked down until Sunday a few narrower areas, limiting household shopping trips to just one person every two days, and suspending businesses, although allowing restricted operations by firms in essential sectors.
Shenzhen's education authorities postponed the start of the new semester of offline classes for most school grades. The combined economic output of Shenzhen and Guangzhou reached 5.89 trillion yuan ($855 billion) last year, or about half the gross domestic product (GDP) of South Korea.
ECONOMY DISRUPTION CONCERNS The northern city of Shijiazhuang, close to Beijing, the capital, extended by a day beyond an earlier target of Wednesday its work-from-home mandate covering four districts with more than 3 million people.
The northwestern city of Xining, home to about 2.5 million people, extended until Sept 5 a work-from-home order for employees in key urban areas imposed from Monday, and initially meant to run until Thursday. China reported 1,675 new domestically transmitted infections for Aug. 30, the National Health Commission said, down from the previous day's 1,717 new local cases.
Most cases were found in the mountainous region of Tibet and the southwestern province of Sichuan. Chengu, the capital of Sichuan, ordered the closure from Thursday of all office buildings in a district with more than a million residents. That followed the earlier citywide closure of indoor entertainment and cultural locations.
Entry was limited to staff needed to ensure basic functions of those buildings, government officials in Chengdu said, a restriction to last three days for now. The commercial hub of Shanghai will restrict large gatherings and avoid unnecessary ones, a municipal official said, as two new local infections were reported on Tuesday, one of them in the community.
Large conferences and events requiring extensive travel must be downsized, delayed or moved online whenever possible, Shanghai health official Wu Qianyu told a news briefing. ($1=6.8920 Chinese yuan renminbi)

Fall sports are back. Here is how to avoid injury and heat illness
Student athletes are returning to the field and the court as they get ready to start the fall sports season. Doctors at Intermountain Healthcare want to remind athletes and their parents how to stay safe and avoid injuries as they prepare for the upcoming season.
For many athletes stretching and hydration seem like obvious areas of focus, but nutrition and properly taking care of injuries can be major factors in performance, as well as the athletes’ overall health.
“Student athletes in high school can be out of practice after a summer off so they need to be especially careful when they return to intense exercise,” said Ben Buchanan, MD, a sports medicine physician at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital. “They need to ease into their exercise as their body gets used to sports again."
This time of year, especially around southern Nevada, hydration and avoiding heat illness are also a big concern with higher temperatures.
These problems can be exacerbated depending on the playing field because artificial turf and concrete have higher surface temperatures than grass. Athletes are encouraged to drink lots of water and occasional sports drinks to stay hydrated, but also need to take more breaks while competing.
Dr. Buchanan says another overlooked issue he sees for athletes’ health is nutrition. He notes a balanced diet taken at the correct times can make all the difference in performance.
“Eating fruits and vegetables can help keep athletes hydrated, but it’s also important to be consuming the right proteins and carbohydrates for energy,” said Dr. Buchanan. “At this age kids eat what they want with few consequences, but they may not realize the impacts it’s having on their performance.”
For example, doctors encourage their athletes to eat something with sodium after practice or a game so they can better retain the water they’re drinking. They say athletes should also avoid fatty and greasy foods at least two hours before competing.
Dr. Buchanan says focusing on all aspects of an athlete’s health can ensure better performance at a top level. Doing so can help avoid injuries while also helping athletes to recover faster when they do occur.
“Injuries are going to happen it’s a part of the game,” said Dr. Buchanan. “It’s easier to recover when a person is already taking care of their body and knows the steps to take.”

With just a week to go until Apple launches the iPhone 14 (opens in new tab), the rumors are coming in thick and fast – only yesterday did we report on the new flagship being tipped to boast Apple’s long-rumored satellite connectivity feature (opens in new tab).
Now, trusted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (opens in new tab) has said, via Twitter, that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models will feature new ultrawide camera sensors, which can capture 1.4µm-sized pixels – resulting in greater detail and better low-light performance, than possible with the 1.0µm-sized pixels found on the iPhone 13 Pro (opens in new tab).
(3/4)I predict two iPhone 14 Pro models' ultra-wide cameras will upgrade to 1.4µm (vs. iPhone 13 Pro's 1.0µm). CIS (CMOS image sensor), VCM (voice coil motor), and CCM (compact camera module) have a significant unit price increase in this upgrade, with about 70%, 45%, and 40%.August 30, 2022
A jump to 1.4µm pixels in the iPhone 14 Pro models from 1.0µm pixels in the iPhone 13 Pro models for their ultrawide cameras is a significant jump and something to (potentially) get very excited about.
According to Kuo, the new CMOS imaging sensor will be joined by a new voice coil motor (VCM) and a new compact camera module. He tweets that these “have a significant unit price increase in this upgrade, with about 70 %, 45%, and 40%.” In an additional tweet, the respected analyst reveals Sony will supply the CMOS sensors, Minebea and Largan will take care of the VCM and LG will supply the main compact camera module.
(4/4)Other components' price increases are limited. Sony (CIS), Minebea (first VCM supplier), Largan (second supplier), and LG Innotek (CCM) are the significant beneficiaries of the ultra-wide camera upgrade.August 30, 2022
Camera sensor upgrade to 48MP
Other likely-to-be-true rumors surrounding the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models are new main sensor, with a significant upgrade from 12MP to 48MP, coming via a TrendForce (opens in new tab) report. It’s said that Apple will support both 48MP and 12MP shooting modes to allow for 48MP images to be captured in well-lit conditions and 12MP images in lower light, giving users the option to choose.
Another exciting leak, which we really hope will be true, points towards Apple finally taking the front-facing selfie camera seriously and equipping the upcoming flagship with a higher tech unit. This phone rumor (opens in new tab) comes courtesy of Korean site ET News (opens in new tab) who has published a series of reports on the Apple supply chain, with this latest one providing information from “industry sources” on Apple using products from Korean LG Innotek's for the iPhone, rather than iPhone 15 as originally planned. The upgrade is said to come at a price however: “Apple originally planned to install LG Innotek's products on the front camera of the iPhone 15, which is scheduled to be released next year, but recently moved the schedule forward hurriedly. It is understood that there had been quality problems from Chinese camera manufacturers during the quality tests.” ET News go on to say while the front-facing camera had been regarded as a low-cost part by Apple it is now high-cost.
The most significant part of this leak is the mention of the switch to LG Innotek meaning the iPhone 14’s selfie snapper will at last feature autofocus – a missing feature which has seriously let Apple down in the past. This ties in with earlier information (opens in new tab) provided Ming-Chi Kuo (opens in new tab) back in April when he tweeted that the upcoming series of iPhones will feature two key upgrades to the front-facing camera: autofocus and a bigger aperture on the lens.
(1/2)The front camera of four new iPhone 14 models in 2H22 would likely upgrade to AF (autofocus) & about f/1.9 aperture (vs. iPhone 13's FF (fixed-focus) and f/2.2).April 19, 2022
Only a week to go to find out if Kuo is right on both or either account and indeed which of the other iPhone 14 rumors and leaks turn out to be legit.

2 East Texas residents arrested for felony drug crimes, meth found at home
NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, Texas ( KETK ) – Two people in Nacogdoches were arrested for felony drug crimes on Wednesday after the Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation, said authorities.
Ottis Dale Solomon, 61, and Pamela Kay Stotts, 56, were detained after a joint investigation between the sheriffs office and Texas Department of Public Safety narcotics investigators.
Tyler woman convicted of promoting prostitution sentenced to six years in prison Solomon was charged with two first-degree felonies for the manufacture or delivery of a
controlled substance, a first-degree felony for possession of a controlled substance, one third-degree felony for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and a class-b misdemeanor for
the possession of marijuana.
Stotts was charged with the following: a first-degree felony for possession of a controlled
substance, a third-degree felony for the unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and a class
b misdemeanor for possession of marijuana.
A search warrant was served at the pair’s residence in the 300 block of Evans Road.
Former Athens mayor pleads guilty to sending explicit messages to a minorAt the home, deputies found more than 14 ounces of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $8,500. Law enforcement also discovered an ounce of marijuana, cash and other drugs, which will be tested at a laboratory.
Some items found at the scene are possibly connected to theft and burglary cases in Nacogdoches and other counties, said the sheriff’s office. This case is still being investigated and Solomon and Stotts could face other charges.
If convicted, each of the first-degree felony charges carries a potential punishment of between
five and 99 years of incarceration, while third-degree felonies are punishable by between two
and 10 years of incarceration, said authorities. Along with the charges, Solomon and Stotts could receive a fine of up to 10,000.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department says classified documents were “likely concealed and removed” from a storage room at former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate as part of an effort to obstruct the federal investigation into the discovery of the government records.
The FBI also seized boxes and containers holding more than 100 classified records during its Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago and found classified documents stashed in Trump’s office, according to a filing that lays out the most detailed chronology to date of months of strained interactions between Justice Department officials and Trump representatives over the discovery of government secrets.
The filing offers yet another indication of the sheer volume of classified records retrieved from Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida. It shows how investigators conducting a criminal probe have focused not just on why the records were improperly stored there but also on the question of whether the Trump team intentionally misled them about the continued, and unlawful, presence of the top secret documents.
The timeline laid out by the Justice Department made clear that the extraordinary search of Mar-a-Lago came only after other efforts to retrieve the records had failed and that it resulted from law enforcement suspicion that additional documents remained inside the property despite assurances by Trump representatives that a “diligent search” had accounted for all of the material.
It also included a picture of some of the seized documents with colored cover sheets indicating their classified status, perhaps as a way to rebut suggestions that whoever packed them or handled them at Mar-a-Lago could have easily failed to appreciate their sensitive nature.
The photo shows the cover pages of a smattering of paperclip-bound classified documents — some marked as “TOP SECRET//SCI” with bright yellow borders and one marked as “SECRET//SCI” with a rust-colored border — along with whited-out pages, splayed out on a carpet at Mar-a-Lago. Beside them sits a cardboard box filled with gold-framed pictures, including a Time magazine cover.
Though it contains significant new details on the investigation, the Justice Department filing does not resolve a core question that has driven public fascination with the investigation — why Trump held onto the documents after he left the White House and why he and his team resisted repeated efforts to give them back. In fact, it suggests officials may not have received an answer.
During a June 3 visit to Mar-a-Lago by FBI and Justice Department officials, the document states, “Counsel for the former President offered no explanation as to why boxes of government records, including 38 documents with classification markings, remained at the Premises nearly five months after the production of the Fifteen Boxes and nearly one-and-a-half years after the end of the Administration.”
That visit, which came weeks after the Justice Department issued a subpoena for the records, receives substantial attention in the document and appears to be a key investigative focus.
Though Trump has said he had declassified all of the documents at Mar-a-Lago, his lawyers did not suggest that during the visit and instead “handled them in a manner that suggested counsel believed that the documents were classified,” according to the document.
FBI agents who went there to receive additional materials were given “a single Redweld envelope, double-wrapped in tape, containing the documents,” the filing states.
That envelope, according to the FBI, contained 38 unique documents with classification markings, including 16 documents marked secret and 17 marked top secret.
The investigators were permitted to visit the storage room but were not allowed to open or look inside any of the boxes, “giving no opportunity for the government to confirm that no documents with classification markings remained,” the Justice Department says.
During that visit, the document says, Trump’s lawyers told investigators that all the records that had come from the White House were stored in one location — a Mar-a-Lago storage room — and that “there were no other records stored in any private office space or other location at the Premises and that all available boxes were searched.”
After that, though, the department, which had subpoenaed video footage for the property, “developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the Storage Room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation.” The filing does not identify the individuals who may have relocated the boxes.
In their August search, agents found classified documents both in the storage room as well as in the former president’s office — including three classified documents found not in boxes, but in office desks.
“That the FBI, in a matter of hours, recovered twice as many documents with classification markings as the ‘diligent search’ that the former President’s counsel and other representatives had weeks to perform calls into serious question the representations made in the June 3 certification and casts doubt on the extent of cooperation in this matter,” the document states.
It says, “In some instances, even the FBI counterintelligence personnel and DOJ attorneys conducting the review required additional clearances before they were permitted to review certain documents.”
The investigation began from a referral from the National Archives and Records Administration, which recovered 15 boxes from Mar-a-Lago in January that were found to contain 184 documents with classified markings, including top secret information.
The purpose of the Tuesday night filing was to oppose a request from the Trump legal team for a special master to review the documents seized during this month’s search and to return to him certain seized property. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is set to hear arguments on the matter on Thursday.
Cannon on Saturday said it was her “preliminary intent” to appoint such a person but also gave the Justice Department an opportunity to respond.
On Monday, the department said it had already completed its review of potentially privileged documents and identified a “limited set of materials that potentially contain attorney-client privileged information.” It said Tuesday that a special master was therefore “unnecessary” and that the presidential records that were taken from the home do not belong to Trump.

EIGHTY-FIVE people in the Border and North East region died of drug overdose deaths between 2016 and 2020, a study reveals.
The figure represents a 50 per cent increase in Albury, an 86 per cent rise in Wodonga-Alpine and are almost double previous statistics for the Wangaratta-Benalla area.

The findings are detailed in "Australia's Annual Overdose Report" released yesterday, International Overdose Awareness Day, by the Penington Institute.
The report showed in the five years from 2016, 33 Albury residents died of unintentional overdoses, and 26 in both Wodonga-Alpine and Wangaratta-Benalla. In 2020, 212 residents of regional NSW died of overdoses, compared with 305 residents of Greater Sydney.
Institute chief executive officer John Ryan said the rate of unintentional overdose deaths had been higher in regional NSW and Victoria than in Sydney and Melbourne every year since 2010.
"Every four hours an Australian is lost to preventable overdose," Mr Ryan said.
He said there was no doubt the overdose situation in the Border, North East region was getting worse.
IN OTHER NEWS:
"In the five years between 2016 and 2020, 33 people lost their lives to unintentional overdose in Albury and 26 in Wodonga-Alpine - that's too many," Mr Ryan said.
"There is a misconception that overdose only kills younger people, however Australians over 40 accounted for more than two thirds of overdose deaths in 2020.
"Many also believe illicit drugs are the main cause, however pharmaceuticals continue to drive overdose deaths in Australia."
In Wagga Wagga in the same period, 32 residents died of overdoses. This was six more than the 26 unintentional overdose deaths recorded in 2011-2015.
"Overdose has taken the lives of over 35,000 Australians since 2001," Mr Ryan said.

Ford recalls pickups, cars to fix cloudy rear camera lens
Published: Aug. 31, 2022 at 7:57 AM EDT|Updated: 43 minutes ago
DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling more than 277,000 pickup trucks and cars in the U.S. because the rear view camera lens can get cloudy and reduce visibility for the driver.
The recall covers certain F-250, 350 and 450 trucks as well as the Lincoln Continental, all from the 2017 through 2020 model years. The recalled vehicles have a 360-degree camera system.
Ford says the anti-reflective lens on the cameras can degrade, causing a cloudy image. The company says it has more than 8,800 warranty reports in the U.S. due to the problem.
Dealers will replace the camera at no cost to owners. Ford will notify owners by letter starting Sept. 12.

System1 Group PLC said Wednesday that it has decided to undertake a review of its strategic options to expand the business and increase shareholder value.
The U.K.-based marketing-and-brand consulting company said it currently estimates that it has less than a 1% share of its target market. The company estimated that its target market of predicting and improving advertising, brand and innovation effectiveness is valued at about $10 billion a year.
The review's initial conclusions are expected by the end of November, and the board has decided to postpone the currently planned tender offer and the current share buyback, with decisions on future returns being considered as part of the review, it said.

While China’s strategic partnership with Russia “without limits” has been widely reported since the start of the war in Ukraine, much less known is the strategic partnership Ukraine and China forged in 2011. Now, that partnership is being questioned by a key lawmaker in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this month sounded a soft tone on China, casting Beijing’s role in the conflict as “neutral” and inviting Chinese government and business to play an active role in his country’s rebuilding.
Back in June 2011, then-Chinese President Hu Jintao visited Ukraine after stopping in Moscow. China and Ukraine agreed to boost cooperation in energy, technology, agriculture and trade. The two sides also upgraded their ties to a “strategic partnership.”
China is now Ukraine’s number one trading partner. While Ukraine figures less prominently in China’s overall trading, Beijing has been acquiring items of importance from Ukraine, including military equipment and critical minerals, such as those produced only in Mariupol and Odesa.
But a key lawmaker in Kyiv says the bilateral relationship should not be based only on those factors, given China’s officially declared “strategic partnership with Russia with no limit,” while Moscow has engaged in an all-out war on Ukraine.
Beijing “has failed this partnership,” Oleksandr Merezhko told VOA in a written interview from Kyiv.
“In my personal view, Ukraine should seriously reconsider [its] strategic partnership with [the People’s Republic of China],” he said. “In fact, it’s totally absurd to have a strategic partnership with a country which: 1) has strategic partnership without limits with Russia (aggressor state committing genocide against Ukrainian nation); 2) amplifies Russian propaganda; 3) helps Russia to circumvent Western sanctions; 4) holds joint military drills with Russia,” Merezhko wrote.
“I don’t think that strategic partner of the aggressor state can be simultaneously our strategic partner. It makes no sense,” he added.
Zelenskyy sounded a more conciliatory note toward Beijing during a recent online town hall with college students from Australia and during an on-camera interview with the South China Morning Post, published in Hong Kong but owned since 2016 by the mainland-based Alibaba Group.
China, Zelenskyy said, on both occasions, has shown “neutrality” in his country’s conflict with Russia. Zelenskyy underscored that “I really wanted the relationship with China be reinforced and developed every year” in a video clip put out by the South China Morning Post on August 3. He also highlighted China’s role in Ukraine’s reconstruction.
“I would like China to participate in the rebuilding of all Ukraine,” he said, noting Ukraine’s rebuilding is going to be a huge undertaking. “I would like China and the Chinese business to join in the rebuilding process, and the [Chinese] state to join this,” Zelenskyy said in the video clip.
The largest international conference on Ukraine’s rebuilding to date has been the Lugano Conference held in July in Switzerland. China was not seen in the official “family photo” taken at the conference, which featured top officials from more than 20 democratic nations that have provided large amounts of aid to Ukraine.
Asked to comment on Zelenskyy’s recently published remarks, Merezhko said: “In democratic society, members of parliament might have a different point of view on some issues of parliamentary diplomacy than executive power.”
“I also believe that in economic matters, Ukraine should more rely upon Western business rather than Chinese business,” he added.
According to recent reports, China’s purchases of Russian oil and gas products have almost doubled from a year ago; Chinese spending on Russian energy in July alone reached $7.2 billion, while China’s economy is showing significant signs of slowing.
Commenting on social media, Merezhko wrote that “Russia’s allies bear moral and political responsibility for its crimes against peace and global security” and “the West should introduce secondary sanctions against those Russia’s allies.”
Trade and economics weren’t the only factors Merezhko had in mind when he called into question his country’s decade-old “strategic partnership” with Beijing. Following recently published investigative reports that Chinese authorities have been putting dissidents in psychiatric hospitals and subjecting them to torture, Merezhko said such practices bring to mind “the same cruel totalitarian practices which were used by the Soviet repressive regime.”
“I don’t think such a country can be a strategic partner of any democratic country, including Ukraine,” he concluded.
Recently, Merezhko and more than a dozen fellow parliamentarians from three Ukrainian political parties formed a Taiwan friendship group. “Democracies should support each other to survive and win,” he wrote on Twitter.
