MENDHAM The Sisters of Christian Charity celebrated the 173rd anniversary of the founding of the congregation and the anniversaries of 15 sisters during a Mass on Aug. 21 celebrated by Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney in the Chapel of Mary Immaculate at Mallinckrodt Convent here.
The following sisters celebrated their anniversaries in consecrated life: 80 years: Sister Martina Reuther; 75 years: Sister Immaculata Arboline, Sister Felice Donelin, Sister Mary Marzen, and Sister Patricia Murphy; 70 years: Sister Virginia Ann Barry, Sister Ann Marie Kase, and Sister Gracemary Shalvey; 60 years: Sister Laura Berryman, Sister Joanne Bednar, Sister Mary Dorothy Kelly, and Sister Adalberta Mette; 50 years: Sister Mary Joseph Schultz; and 40 years: Sister Mary Dominic Kopitar and Sister Maria Angelina Rivarola.
The celebration included a special offer of congratulations to Bishop Sweeney, who celebrated the 25th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood in June.
During that afternoon, the sisters took part in their annual commissioning service, which marked the beginning of a new “apostolic year” in their ministries. A “Sending Forth” blessing was imparted on four sisters who will be sent to serve in other countries of the congregation during the next several months: Sister Mary Amata Reifsnyder to Germany, Sister Luiza Simon to the Philippines, and Sister John Paul Thorley and Sister Sophia Marie Peralta to Argentina. | https://rcdop.org/news/bishop-celebrates-mass-at-which-15-sisters-of-christian-charity-mark-anniversaries-in-consecrated-li | 2022-08-31T12:53:14Z | https://rcdop.org/news/bishop-celebrates-mass-at-which-15-sisters-of-christian-charity-mark-anniversaries-in-consecrated-li | true | 1 |
UN weather agency predicts rare ‘triple-dip’ La Nina in 2022
GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. weather agency is predicting that the phenomenon known as La Nina is poised to last through the end of this year, a mysterious “triple dip” — the first this century — caused by three straight years of its effect on climate patterns like drought and flooding worldwide.
The World Meteorological Organization on Wednesday said La Nina conditions, which involve a large-scale cooling of ocean surface temperatures, have strengthened in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific with an increase in trade winds in recent weeks.
The agency’s top official was quick to caution that the “triple dip” doesn’t mean global warming is easing.
“It is exceptional to have three consecutive years with a La Nina event. Its cooling influence is temporarily slowing the rise in global temperatures, but it will not halt or reverse the long-term warming trend,” WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said.
La Nina is a natural and cyclical cooling of parts of the equatorial Pacific that changes weather patterns worldwide, as opposed to warming caused by the better-known El Nino — an opposite phenomenon. La Nina often leads to more Atlantic hurricanes, less rain and more wildfires in the western United States, and agricultural losses in the central U.S.
Studies have shown La Nina is more expensive to the United States than the El Nino.
Together El Nino, La Nina and the neutral condition are called ENSO, which stands for El Nino Southern Oscillation, and they have one of the largest natural effects on climate, at times augmenting and other times dampening the big effects of human-caused climate change from the burning of coal, oil and gas, scientists say.

Catherine Deneuve is not that fond of reminiscing, even as she prepares to collect a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Venice International Film Festival.
“We don’t have time to look backwards,” Deneuve told reporters Wednesday, hours before her award. “This is our present and we have to continue to go forward.”
At 78, the legendary French actor is as busy as ever. She’s just wrapped up one film in Paris and is starting another soon in Belgium. The industry environment, she thinks, is better for older women, and actors, in Europe than in America.
Deneuve has a long history with the Venice Film Festival, going back to 1967 when she won the Golden Lion for her portrayal of a well-heeled housewife who starts working at a brothel in Luis Buñuel’s classic “Belle de Jour.” In 1998, she won the festival’s Volpi Cup for “Place Vendôme.” She'll collect this latest honor, another Golden Lion, at the festival’s opening night.
Though she is often described as an icon of cinema, Deneuve rejects the term for herself. She also said she doesn’t think she was ever a “sex symbol” either.
But she still treasures the films she made with directors Jacques Demy (“The Umbrellas of Cherbourg,” “The Young Girls of Rochefort” and “Donkey Skin”) and François Truffaut (“The Last Metro”). Demy in particular, she said, was very important in her early career when she hadn’t yet had much experience in film.
“Today, the important things are the same: The story I want to tell ... the screenplay ... the environment we create ... the people I will spend time with,” Deneuve said.
She also continues to seek out new movies — and wants to see them in a crowd at a theater.
“I love cinema. I love going to the cinema," she said. “I want to be in a cinema with people I don’t know. It’s not just the sound. It’s the atmosphere. At home, it’s very different. You don’t feel things the same at all."

When project developers set out to create a world-class community hospital intended to be at the hub of a fledgling community in the fast-growing North Austin neighborhood of Austin, Texas, recruitment of top physicians and staff was the initial goal.
The team at Forest Park Austin Community Hospital challenged the project team to create a five-star hospitality experience to draw in the community. “I want to work here” and “I want to go here for care” were sought-after statements for the leadership team.
The desire for an elevated, hospitable environment inspired a “modern Hill Country” aesthetic — rich and timeless for Central Texas, and a theme that would help patients and caregivers feel right at home.
A double-story water feature — a source of both audial and haptic biophilic cues — welcomes patients and staff alike. Roof gardens, extensively detailed to be universally accessible, provide both private staff and public patient gardens. A sculpture garden connects the campus, provides an extension of the internal art program, and provides a public community beautification.
Natural light pours in and views are available from every angle, with respite areas for caregivers and families given prime access to the best nature connections. Even operating rooms, preoperative spaces and post-anesthesia care units are outfitted with clerestory windows to filter light and its circadian-enforcing and restorative properties throughout the facility.
Designed for LEED Gold, careful research ensured low-maintenance and healthy materials while providing an unusually highly textural and nature-inspired experience. Twelve patient rooms are designed with small adjoined family rooms for extended family support.
Artificial lighting was constructed to be hidden or shielded in every possible instance to ensure light provided a soft glow rather than harsh glare. Medical gases and equipment are shielded, adding to the soothing nature of the overall aesthetic, and aiding in providing a calmly restorative care environment. | https://www.hfmmagazine.com/articles/4558-community-hospital-emphasizes-well-being | 2022-08-31T12:55:31Z | https://www.hfmmagazine.com/articles/4558-community-hospital-emphasizes-well-being | true | 1 |
UniCredit gets ECB's green light for second 1 bln euro share buyback
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
MILAN, Aug 31 (Reuters) - UniCredit (CRDI.MI) on Wednesday said it had gained supervisory approval for a new share buyback of up to 1 billion euros ($1 billion), putting it on track to hit its capital distribution goals despite economic recession risks.
Analysts welcomed the European Central Bank's green light for the second tranche of UniCredit's buyback, saying it highlighted a case-by-case approach with positive implications for other lenders such as Nordea (NDAFI.HE) and ING (INGA.AS).
UniCredit's large exposure to Russia had appeared to threaten its capital distribution plans when the Ukraine conflict first broke out. UniCredit said in March it would only execute the buyback in full if its core capital ratio remained above 13% despite the impact of the Russia crisis. read more

Since then, however, the bank has completed a first 1.58 billion euro buyback, repurchasing 7.4% of its own share capital. In July it went on to seek ECB clearance for the second tranche, on which shareholders will vote on Sept. 14.
"Given the risks stemming from the bank's Russian exposure along with the current macroeconomic uncertainty/risks, we believe that the buyback approval is a vote of confidence for UniCredit," Berenberg analysts said.
Shares in UniCredit gained 3.8% by 1121 GMT, outperforming a 1.2% rise in Italy's banking index (.FTITLMS3010).
The latest buyback amounts to 32 basis points of UniCredit's highest quality capital ratio, which stood at 15.73% at the end of June.
Under new CEO Andrea Orcel, the former investment banking chief at UBS (UBSG.S), UniCredit has embarked on a strategy that strives to maximise capital, generating 67 basis points in capital in the second quarter.
Orcel has expressed confidence UniCredit will be able to replicate in 2022 the distribution goal achieved over 2021 earnings - which totals 3.75 billion euros when including the two buybacks and cash dividends - despite the economic slowdown.
"A lot would need to happen on the macro front for the distribution plan to fall apart, in our view," broker Autonomous said, adding the stock was cheap even when considering political uncertainty in Italy ahead of snap polls on Sept. 25.
UniCredit said the ECB had approved the buyback after analysing the bank's capital projections under conservative assumptions and updated adverse macroeconomic scenarios.
The ECB had said in June it would ask banks to factor in a potential recession when calculating their capital trajectories as part of discussions with supervisors over capital distribution plans. read more

Kay Lyng of K Kajoux Jewels, who took part in a previous cycle of the ACORN programme
Kilkenny female entrepreneurs are urging others from the county to join the latest cycle of ACORNS – a highly-successful development initiative to support early-stage female entrepreneurs living in rural Ireland. ACORNS stands for Accelerating the Creation Of Rural Nascent Start-ups. It is funded through the Rural Innovation and Development Fund by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM).
The call for applications for the latest cycle of the programme, ACORNS 8, was launched earlier this month by Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue T.D. Programme organisers are looking for female entrepreneurs living in rural Ireland, who wish to start and develop new businesses or who have recently started a new venture.
A total of 50 new entrepreneurs will be selected and the free initiative will run over six months from October 2022 to April 2023 with the deadline for applications midnight on September 23, 2022. This is the eighth year of the ACORNS programme and over 350 female entrepreneurs have taken part to date and a significant proportion of these are still actively involved.
Past participants from Kilkenny include Kay Lyng of K Kajoux Jewels, Carla Tayor of 1721 Spirits and Roisin Cahill from RoCa Healthcare.
K Kajoux Jewels offers original jewellery made from semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls. The pieces are produced from Kay Lyng’s studio in the hills of Clonmatagh in Kilkenny. Kay participated on ACORNS 4.
Kay says: “The ACORNS network is a key necessity for any female entrepreneur that wants to achieve growth in a strategic way. The network gives access to a wealth of expertise in a multitude of disciplines.”
Carla Taylor was a member of the ACORNS Pilot programme. Her company, 1721 Spirits, is a boutique drinks company bringing Irish beverage products to global markets.
Carla says: "I continue to stay in touch with my family of ACORNS participants, who have formed a strong bond and regularly meet and support each other."
Roisin Cahill was a participant on ACORNS 5. She set up RoCa Healthcare in 2018, beginning as an online store. It now provides products, support and advice for promoting good gut health and immune systems.
Roisin says: “Meeting other female entrepreneurs through ACORNS, at different stages of their businesses, gave me support and direction with my own company.”
Based on a belief that entrepreneurs learn best from each other, ACORNS is centred on interactive round table sessions facilitated by successful female entrepreneurs who have started and grown businesses in rural Ireland. These are known as ACORNS Lead Entrepreneurs, and they give their time free of charge to encourage and support the new business owners. There is no charge for those participating in ACORNS, thanks to the continuing support of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the voluntary contribution of time by the Lead Entrepreneurs.
This year’s voluntary Lead Entrepreneurs are Anne Reilly, Paycheck Plus; Caroline Reidy, The HR Suite; Deirdre McGlone, Hospitality & Tourism Advisor; Eimer Hannon, Hannon Travel; Larissa Feeney, Accountant Online; Mary B Walsh, Ire Wel Pallets; Triona MacGiolla Rí, Aró Digital Strategies.
Charlie McConalogue T.D., Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, says:
“Now in its eighth year, and going from strength to strength, ACORNS continues to support early stage female entrepreneurs living in rural Ireland. This is an incredible opportunity and a wonderful support for rural-based female entrepreneurs, particularly in the current environment and I encourage those who have recently started or are about to start a new business to apply to participate in this very exciting initiative.”
Any woman with a new business based in rural Ireland — or a well-developed idea for a new venture they want to get off the ground — can get more information and register to receive an application form at www.acorns.ie. There is no charge for participation.
Eligibility Criteria for participation on ACORNS
To be considered for ACORNS, applicants must:
Have set up a new business which has generated sales no earlier than the end of June 2019 or actively be planning a new venture and have made good progress towards getting the new venture off the ground. Indicators of actively planning a business would include organising the start-up team, sourcing equipment / facilities, money saved for the start-up, writing the business plan, etc.
They must own or part-own the business which must be located in a rural area, i.e. an area outside the administrative city boundaries of Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford.
If selected, applicants must be available to attend the launch Forum and first round table session on October 24th and 25th, 2022.
They must expect to become an employer within three years.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2022 / Searchlight Resources Inc. ("Searchlight" or the "Company") (TSXV:SCLT, OTC PINK:SCLTF, FSE:2CC2) is pleased to announce results of the June 2022 prospecting program, and the start of the second phase of exploration at the Kulyk Lake Critical Elements project located approximately 165 km north of La Ronge, Saskatchewan, and 65 km south of the Key Lake Uranium Mine.
Highlights
- Phase 1 results
- Results of 0.067% (670 ppm) U3O8, and 0.054% (540 ppm) U3O8 in grab samples
- 0.95% (9,464 ppm) TREO in grab sample, including 1,750 ppm Nd2O3, 524 ppm Pr2O3, 39.6 ppm Dy2O3
- 0.85% (8,495 ppm) TREO in grab sample, including 1,563 ppm Nd2O3, 479 ppm Pr2O3, 53.4 ppm Dy2O3
- Phase 2 with Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) geochemical survey underway
Searchlight Resources has engaged Axiom Exploration Group to carry out Phase 2 of exploration on the Kulyk Lake Critical Elements Project, which will include a Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) geochemical survey and further prospecting. This is a follow-up to Phase 1 prospecting program which was completed in June 2022, during which total of 67 grab samples were collected, 18 from the northern Rare Earth zone and 49 from the southern uranium zone. The Phase 2 MMI survey will cover these two prospected zones which are identified as granitic pegmatites and the 2.5-km gap between the two zones, with systematic grid sampling.
The MMI survey will also cover 3 historic uranium and rare earth showings found by prospecting in 2010.
- Rock sample JBKJR027 - An outcrop grab sample of a syenite with minor pegmatite, with visible radioactive oxides. Analyses returned 6,750 ppm U (0.81% U3O8), 2,280 ppm Th, and 2,025 ppm TREE+Y.
- Rock sample JBKJR025 - Pegmatite with visible Th-phosphate. Analyses returned 171,000 ppm Th (17.1%), 350 ppm U, 1,227 ppm TREE+Y.
- Yellow Brick Road showing - A pegmatite dyke swarm with an exposed strike length of over 60 m with anomalous radioactivity readings and secondary yellow uranium staining. A weighted composite from a 2.3m trench produced 213 ppm U.
Source: Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index
June 2022 Field Program
In September 2021, Searchlight completed a combined airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over a section of the Kulyk Lake claims. The results highlighted known uranium and rare earth showings, as well as previously unknown uranium and thorium targets. The latter are important because Searchlight uses thorium as a pathfinder mineral for rare earth occurrences. An initial prospecting follow-up of the new anomalous areas was completed in Phase 1 in June 2022, with a total of 67 grab samples collected, 18 from the northern rare earth zone and 49 from the southern uranium zone. Sampled areas were identified as granitic pegmatites.
Rare Earth Sampling Results
A total of 18 grab samples were collected over a 1.2 km strike length of the northern rare earth zone, and several samples returned anomalous rare earth values. The most significant results were:
- Sample 232903 with 0.95% (or 9,464 ppm) TREO in grab sample including 1,750 ppm Nd2O3, 524 ppm Pr2O3, 39.6 ppm Dy2O3 and
- Sample 232901 with 0.85% (or 8,495 ppm) TREO in grab sample including 1,563 ppm Nd2O3, 479 ppm Pr2O3, 53.4 ppm Dy2O3.
Some samples were also anomalous in Rare Metals including Rubidium and Gallium and will require further investigation. A 10kg sample of rare earth-bearing monazite from the Fanta showing was collected for metallurgical and petrographic testing..
"Given the large area covered by the prospecting we are pleased with the quality of the initial results from a limited number of samples. This validates the concept of using airborne radiometric thorium data as a pathfinder for Rare Earths and increases the potential of the 6-kilometer long Rare Earths prospecting zone on the north side of Kulyk Lake", said Stephen Wallace, CEO of Searchlight.
Uranium Sampling Results
A total of 49 samples were collected over a 1.5 km strike length, with 12 anomalous samples assaying over 100 ppm U3O8. Two samples from this southern uranium zone returned assays of 0.067 % (670 ppm) U3O8, and 0.054% (540 ppm) U3O8. The results indicate the potential of a Rossing style bulk tonnage uranium deposit in a granitic pegmatite target. Further prospecting and systematic sampling would be required.
"Further assessment is needed to determine continuity and grade of the newly identified uranium zones with those previously identified on the property", said Stephen Wallace, CEO of Searchlight.
Note on TREO
TREO = Total Rare Earth Oxides = Ce2O3+Dy2O3+Er2O3+Eu2O3+Gd2O3+Ho2O3+La2O3+Nd2O3+Pr6O11+Sm2O3+Tb4O7+Yb2O3
Sample analysis
Samples were collected by geologists of the Axiom Exploration Group and transported directly to Saskatchewan Research Council ("SRC") Laboratories Inc. in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. All Samples were analysed by SRC using the ICP MS 4Acid Total Digest Package. Further all samples from the southern uranium zone were analysed using the U3O8 wt% Assay Package and sample 232901 was analysed using the ICP1 Total Digestion Package.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2719782996490/90s-back-for-the-weekend-watch-ben-s-forecast | 2022-08-31T13:13:21Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2719782996490/90s-back-for-the-weekend-watch-ben-s-forecast | true | 12721 |
United Nations (UN) chief Antonio Guterres will travel to flood-hit Pakistan next week for a solidarity visit and also to see how the UN is working to support the government's efforts to provide assistance to millions of people impacted by the unprecedented floods.
The visit was announced after the cash-strapped Pakistan government on Tuesday teamed up with the United Nations and issued a flash appeal for USD 160 million to deal with the disaster that has displaced over 33 million people in the country that has become the "ground zero" of global warming.
Country-wide casualties touched 1,162 on Wednesday, with 3,554 injured and over 33 million displaced, according to the data released by the National Disaster Management Authority (NMDA), the chief national body tasked to deal with calamities.
In a statement, the UN said on Tuesday that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will travel to Pakistan for a solidarity visit given the “tragic situation facing millions of men, women, and children impacted by historic floods.” The Secretary-General is expected to arrive in Islamabad on September 9 and will then travel to the areas most impacted by the unprecedented climate catastrophe.
Antonio Guterres will meet with displaced families and will also witness how the UN is working, in collaboration with its humanitarian partners, to support the government's relief efforts and provide assistance to millions of people.
He is expected back in New York on September 11.
Pakistan's Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar Ahmad welcomed the UN chief's visit, and said: “it will contribute in a big way to our collective effort to highlight the impact of this disaster”.
"His visit will further mobilise international assistance," he added. Earlier, in a video message on Tuesday on the flash appeal in support of the Pakistan Flood Response Plan, Antonio Guterres said the country is “awash in suffering." “The Pakistani people are facing a monsoon on steroids -- the relentless impact of epochal levels of rain and flooding. This climate catastrophe has killed more than 1,000 people with many more injured,” he said.
Millions have been rendered homeless, schools and health facilities have been destroyed, livelihoods are shattered, critical infrastructure wiped out, and people's hopes and dreams have washed away, Antonio Guterres said.
The “2022 Pakistan Floods Response Plan (FRP)” was jointly launched by the Government of Pakistan and the United Nations, simultaneously in Islamabad and Geneva.
The FRP is being launched against the backdrop of devastating rains, floods and landslides that have impacted more than 33 million people in different parts of Pakistan.
The FRP focuses on the needs of 5.2 million people, with life-saving response activities amounting to USD 160.3 million covering food security, assistance for agriculture and livestock, shelter and non-food items, nutrition programmes, primary health services, protection, water and sanitation, women's health, and education support, as well as shelter for displaced people.
Antonio Guterres said that in response to the devastation, the Government of Pakistan has released funds, including immediate cash relief but the scale of needs is rising like the flood waters and this requires the world's collective and prioritized attention.
The Flash Appeal for USD 160 million to support the response, led by the Government of Pakistan, will provide 5.2 million people with food, water, sanitation, emergency education, protection and health support, he said.
Antonio Guterres underlined that South Asia is one of the world's global climate crisis hotspots and people living in these hotspots are 15 times more likely to die from climate impacts.
“As we continue to see more and more extreme weather events around the world, it is outrageous that climate action is being put on the back burner as global emissions of greenhouse gases are still rising, putting all of us – everywhere – in growing danger,” he said.
While urging the world community to step up in solidarity and support the people of Pakistan in their hour of need, Guterres said “Let's stop sleepwalking towards the destruction of our planet by climate change.
Today, it's Pakistan. Tomorrow, it could be your country.” Meanwhile, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), a sexual and reproductive health agency, said on Wednesday that at least 6,50,000 pregnant women, of whom 73,000 are expected to deliver next month, in the flood-affected areas are in dire need of maternal health service, according to The Dawn newspaper.
The UN agency also warned that many women were at an increased risk of gender-based violence as almost one million houses were damaged in the floods.
“Up to 73,000 women expected to deliver next month will need skilled birth attendants, newborn care, and support,” the agency said, adding that pregnancies and childbirth cannot wait for emergencies or natural disasters to be over as this is when a woman and baby are vulnerable and need the most care.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has visited flood-hit districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, according to the Dawn newspaper report.
“We have announced PKR 10 billion for Balochistan and PKR 15 billion for Sindh. I am announcing a Rs10 billion grant for KP. The NDMA and provincial government will collaborate on how to utilise this amount,” he said.
Foreign aid continued to pour in, with the US on Tuesday announcing USD 30 million as relief measures for the country.
“We stand with Pakistan during this difficult time, and the US is proud to be the single largest humanitarian donor to Pakistan,” Vedant Patel, principal deputy spokesperson for the State Department, told a news briefing in Washington.
“We are deeply saddened by the devastating loss of life and livelihoods throughout Pakistan,” he added.

I’m a nutritionist and here’s the secret behind Elon Musk’s weight loss
IT'S hard to escape wellness trends - especially when celebrities get on board.
Investor Elon Musk has now revealed he has lost over 20lbs since starting a new weight loss programme.
Posting on Twitter, the 51-year-old encouraged his followers to share their life hacks and things that work for them.
Sharing his own tips he said: "On advice of a good friend, I’ve been fasting periodically & feel healthier."
One user asked how much weight he had lost so far, to which he replied: "Over 20 lbs down from my (unhealthy) peak weight."
Musk, who is the CEO of Tesla, said he had been using the Zero fasting app to help with his progress.
Now one nutritionist has revealed the secret behind intermittent fasting, if it works and why it's so controversial.
Signe Svanfeldt, expert at Lifesum said it's a diet that has been growing in popularity recently.
She explained: "Many believe that the diet will increase their longevity, increase brain capacity and improve overall wellbeing.
"Some use the diet to lose weight, but for others it’s more about other believed health benefits.
Most read in Diet & Fitness
"Even if some studies do point in that direction, the results from those studies can be due to multiple other factors such as type of food eaten, lifestyle, physical activity etc.
"What we can conclude is that more solid evidence is needed before drawing any conclusions."
What does it involve?
Many people like intermittent fasting as it's a diet that works around you and your schedule.
It can be done in a variety of ways, but it all comes down to two different cycles.
This is the period you are allowed to eat and the period of time that you are not.
Signe explained that this period means you have to stay away from all food and beverages that contain energy.
The guru added: "How long the “eating window” is varies, but it’s commonly around 8 hours, and the fasting period lasts for the remaining 16 hours of the day where only beverages such as water, plain coffee or tea is “allowed”. "
The nutritionist explained that there is a range of plans that include the 5:2 (two days of restrictive eating per week), and the 6:1 (one day of restrictive eating per week).
Does it work?
While Musk said it worked for him, Signe said there is still more evidence needed to see how affective the plan is.
"It can be a helpful eating pattern for those who want to lose weight, as they eat less than they would if eating for more hours by, for example, skipping breakfast and only eating lunch, snack and dinner.
"Some people experience an increased wellbeing by the diet, and for others it doesn’t work at all."
Are there any risks?
If you do intermittent fasting in a healthy, balanced way, where you include a lot of nutritious foods in line with your energy requirements, the diet may be beneficial for you.
Signe said there are resources on the Lifesum app which are available that can help you discover the best way for you to fast.
"Eating a sufficient amount of energy, as well as a balanced split between macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein and fat), is vital for optimal wellbeing," she added.
However, Signe warned that restricting the times when allowed to eat, like intermittent fasting, is not for everyone.
For example, Signe said the diet can be dangerous for people with diabetes, eating disorders or during pregnancy.
It can also be challenging for athletes to meet their energy needs during the short eating window, she said.
"Our bodies need to focus on recovering and doing other things than digesting foods, although it can do so in the night during the hours we sleep.
"Remember, there are no eating patterns that suit us all. Finding a way that fits you and your lifestyle is key," she added. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/health/9386044/nutritionist-secret-behind-elon-musks-weight-loss/ | 2022-08-31T13:15:21Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/health/9386044/nutritionist-secret-behind-elon-musks-weight-loss/ | false | 4 |
The Queen’s health has been scrutinised over the past year, with the monarch having to pull out of key events due to ongoing mobility issues.
She thrilled crowds on the first day of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations on June 2 when she appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony and later at Windsor Castle.
But the next day she pulled out of the Platinum Jubilee Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral after experiencing “discomfort” during the previous day’s celebrations.
The decision was considered regrettable, it is understood, but sensible due to the length of the journey and time involved and the physical demands the event would have required.
While she made a number of in-person visits in the weeks leading up to her Jubilee celebrations, including a surprise visit to open the Elizabeth line and to tour the Chelsea Flower Show using a golf buggy, the Queen has faced ongoing “episodic mobility problems” stretching back to last autumn and now uses a walking stick.
In October 2021, she used a walking stick at a Westminster Abbey service – the first time she had done so at a major engagement.
A week later, after a busy autumn programme, she was ordered to rest by her doctors and advised to cancel a trip to Northern Ireland.
The Queen was secretly admitted to hospital for “preliminary investigations” and had her first overnight stay in hospital for eight years on October 20 2021.
The next day she was back at her desk at Windsor, carrying out light duties.
But concern for her health mounted when she pulled out of more high-profile engagements, including the Cop26 climate change summit and the Festival of Remembrance, with Buckingham Palace saying she had been advised to continue to rest and not carry out any official visits.
She was intent on attending the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph, but missed this due to a sprained back.
For more than three months she carried out only light duties, including virtual and face-to-face audiences in the confines of Windsor Castle.
In February 2022, she celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, meeting charity workers at Sandringham House and cutting a Jubilee cake in what was her largest in-person public engagement since October.
Many of her duties are now carried out via video calls, and the country’s longest-reigning sovereign remarked during a in-person audience in February: “Well, as you can see, I can’t move.”
There were fears for her health when she caught Covid, testing positive on February 20 2022.
The triple-vaccinated Queen suffered from mild cold-like symptoms but said the virus left her “very tired and exhausted”.
She carried on with light duties while self-isolating at Windsor but cancelled some virtual audiences.
She pulled out of the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in March, a significant date in the royal calendar given the importance to her of the family of nations, and did not attend the Maundy Thursday service.
But she rallied to honour the Duke of Edinburgh at a memorial service at the end of March, walking slowly and carefully with the aid of a stick, and holding on to the Duke of York’s elbow for support.
In May 2022, she missed the State Opening of Parliament for the first time in nearly 60 years, with Buckingham Palace attributing her absence to “episodic mobility problems”.
The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge opened parliament on her behalf as Counsellors of State, with Charles reading the Queen’s Speech for a historic first time.
Much has changed in the past seven months, with Buckingham Palace mostly only confirming the Queen’s attendance at engagements on the day, with the decision dependent on how she is feeling in the morning.
She did go to the Windsor Horse Show in May and she was also the guest of honour at the equestrian extravaganza A Gallop Through History near Windsor, the first major event of the Jubilee festivities.
She also made a surprise appearance to officially open the Elizabeth line at Paddington Station, looking bright and cheery, though her visit was limited to 10 minutes.
She also turned up at the Chelsea Flower Show and was driven around the floral extravaganza in her new hi-tech golf buggy for her comfort.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s annual inflation rate rose to 7.9% in August, returning to its highest level in nearly half a century after it dipped in the two previous months, according to official data
Inflation in Europe’s biggest economy first hit 7.9% in May — the highest rate since the winter of 1973-1974, when prices were fueled by an oil crisis — before slipping back to 7.5% by July. The preliminary figure, which the Federal Statistical Office reported Tuesday, is usually unchanged in a final report about two weeks later.
As in other countries around the world, inflation in Germany has been stoked by Russia’s war in Ukraine, which has led to a rise in energy costs and food prices.
The statistics office said energy prices were up 35.6% on the year in August and food prices rose 16.6%, while the effects of disruption to supply chains caused by the coronavirus pandemic were still being felt.
Germany temporarily lowered taxes on diesel fuel and gasoline at the start of June and introduced an ultra-cheap ticket that allows people to use all local and regional public transportation for 9 euros (dollars) a month. Both of those measures are due to expire on Wednesday.
Germany’s central bank, the Bundesbank, said in its monthly report last week that “the inflation rate could climb up to around 10% in the autumn,” though it noted that the inflation outlook is “extremely uncertain.” | https://www.wtnh.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-german-inflation-back-at-near-half-century-record-after-dip/ | 2022-08-31T13:23:34Z | https://www.wtnh.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-german-inflation-back-at-near-half-century-record-after-dip/ | false | 33 |

"Leland thoroughly understands the customer journey and continually looks for ways to improve processes for the benefit of our customers and employees."
Mankin joined LightEdge in 2018 as part of the company's acquisition of OnRamp, a world-class cloud and colocation solutions provider in Austin, Texas. Mankin had been with OnRamp since 2012, starting as a customer support technician and quickly rising through the ranks due to his keen interest and fresh ideas about ways to improve customer onboarding and service delivery. Mankin brings many years of experience in process improvement, contract fulfillment, customer communication, and customer experience to his new role.
During his tenure with OnRamp, Mankin showed himself to be a "take charge" kind of manager. "When he saw a need, he filled it," said Springborn, referring to Mankin's reputation for improving customer communication and developing SOPs and documentation wherever lacking. At LightEdge, Mankin has led efforts to enhance service delivery and engagement from an operational perspective, including spearheading an automation initiative that has significantly reduced time to deploy for customer projects.
"We were impressed by what we'd heard about Leland when he joined LightEdge and we've continued to be impressed by his efforts over the last several years," said Springborn. "His proactive attitude, impact-oriented mindset, and attentiveness to operational excellence are just the kind of attributes we need as we continue to deliver the best colocation and cloud services to our clients."
Mankin said he is very excited about his new role, particularly because he knows that LightEdge is a customer-first organization. "Meeting the needs of our customers is a mission we take very seriously," he said.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaskela Law LLC announces that it is investigating Hanmi Financial Corporation ("Hanmi" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HAFC) on behalf of the Company's long-term investors.
Recently an amended shareholder complaint was filed against Hanmi in federal court on behalf of investors who purchased shares of the Company's common stock between August 9, 2018 and April 30, 2020. According to the complaint, during that time period Hanmi and certain of the Company's senior executive officers made a series of false and/or misleading statements to investors concerning Hanmi's financial and operational performance.
As detailed in the complaint, through a series of disclosures made during 2019 and 2020, Hanmi revealed to investors that it had taken a $25 million provision for non-performing loans on its books. In response to the Company's disclosures, shares of Hanmi's common stock declined in value by approximately 60%, or over $15 per share.
The investigation seeks to determine whether the members of Hanmi's board of directors violated the securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the above alleged misconduct.
Current Hanmi stockholders who purchased or acquired HAFC shares prior to January 1, 2020 are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC (Adrienne Bell, Esq.) at (484) 229 – 0750, or by email (abell@kaskelalaw.com) or online at https://kaskelalaw.com/cases/hanmi/ , for additional information about this investigation and their legal rights and options.

Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Retreats to bench
Realmuto is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks. Realmuto knocked in two runs in Monday's game, but interim manager Rob Thomson decided to give him a breather Tuesday night. Garrett Stubbs will replace Realmuto behind the plate.

Dodgers' Phil Bickford: Drops down to Triple-A
The Dodgers optioned Bickford to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Bickford covered 2.2 innings in total while making relief appearances in three of the past four days, so his demotion is likely the result of the Dodgers wanting to add a fresh arm to the bullpen in advance of Tuesday's game against the Mets. Right-hander Jake Reed was recalled from Triple-A and will replace Bickford in the bullpen.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Sent to Triple-A
Meyers was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. Meyers has struggled to a .190 average with one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored over 18 games in August, likely prompting his demotion. The Astros have yet to announce a corresponding move.

Yankees' Zack Britton: Glute injury confirmed
Britton (elbow) suffered a glute injury in a rehab appearance with Single-A Tampa on Saturday, per MLB.com. This qualifies as good news, as the injury doesn't appear to be serious and isn't related to the UCL surgery Britton underwent last September. The veteran reliever reportedly told Yankees manager Aaron Boone that his arm feels great and that the glute issue isn't a concern. Britton is expected to throw a bullpen session in a few days and could resume his rehab stint shortly thereafter.

Red Sox's Jeter Downs: Deactivated at Triple-A
Triple-A Worcester placed Downs (ankle) on its 7-day injured list Thursday. Downs hadn't played for Worcester since Aug. 18 with a left ankle injury before being deactivated a week later. The 24-year-old debuted in the majors earlier this season and hit .154 over 14 games, but his ankle injury may take a promotion back to Boston off the table when the active roster expands to 28 men in September.

Cardinals' Yadier Molina: Sits amid slide at plate
Molina is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. Since returning from a two-day stint on the restricted list one week ago, Molina has gone cold at the dish, falling into an 0-for-17 slump over his past five starts. Andrew Knizner, who sports an .842 OPS since the All-Star break, will replace Molina behind the plate Monday and is making a case for becoming part of a true timeshare at catcher with the 10-time All-Star.
CBS Sports
Reds' Chase Anderson: Contract selected by Reds
Anderson's contract was selected from Triple-A Louisville ahead of Monday's start against the Cardinals. Anderson made 14 appearances (nine starts) for the Phillies earlier in the season and posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 48 innings. He joined the Reds on a minor-league deal over the weekend and will make his team debut during Monday's series opener against St. Louis. Anderson will likely have the chance to make more than one turn through the rotation since T.J. Zeuch (back) is on the injured list.

Cubs' Alfonso Rivas: Exits lineup
Rivas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays. The lefty-hitting Rivas is on the bench against a right-hander (Kevin Gausman), perhaps hinting that he won't be part of a strict platoon at first base with P.J. Higgins while Patrick Wisdom (finger) is on the injured list. In his first three games since being called up from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Rivas went 3-for-6 with a run scored.

Cardinals' Albert Pujols: Blasts homer No. 694
Pujols went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 13-4 victory over Cincinnati. After going deep seven times in a 10-game span, Pujols had been stuck in a six-game homerless stretch entering Monday's game. He then knocked a two-run shot in the third inning, giving him 15 on the year and 694 in his historic career. Pujols has caught fire this month in his quest for 700 home runs; he's now 22-for-54 (.407) with eight homers and 16 RBI through 21 August appearances.

Rays' Brandon Lowe: Sitting again Sunday
Lowe (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports. Lowe will remain on the bench for the second consecutive game after exiting Friday's contest with a right elbow contusion. Lowe was reportedly available as a pinch hitter Saturday, though he wasn't utilized, and he figures to available in a similar capacity Sunday. Isaac Paredes is starting at the keystone in the series finale at Boston.

Ken Giles: Let go by Giants
The Giants released Giles on Monday. His stint in the Giants organization lasted just one week, with Giles receiving his release after allowing one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings across his three appearances at Triple-A Sacramento. Giles will now look to move on to his third organization of the season, as he was previously cut loose by Seattle earlier this month.
CBS Sports
Giants' Dane Belton: Takes part in individual drills
Belton (collarbone) did some drills in a red non-contact jersey Tuesday, Tom Rock of Newsday reports. Belton suffered a fractured collarbone early in camp and was originally projected to miss 6-to-8 weeks. The fact that he was able to take part in drills Tuesday suggests that he could return on the early side of that estimate. The Giants have only three safeties (including Belton) on their initial 53-man roster, which could mean that they expect Belton back in time for Week 1.

Astros' Justin Verlander: Lands on IL
The Astros placed Verlander (calf) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Verlander underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed fascial disruption, but no muscle fiber disruption to his right calf, which he injured while covering first base in Sunday's start against the Orioles. While a timeline for Verlander's return hasn't yet been established, the diagnosis was worrisome enough for the club to place him on the shelf for at least the next couple weeks. Due to a pair of off days this week, Houston planned on scaling its rotation back to five men, so Cristian Javier will presumably return from the bullpen to take over Verlander's spot in the rotation. Additionally, top pitching prospect Hunter Brown is expected to be added from Triple-A Sugar Land when the active roster expands to 28 players Thursday, providing further coverage for Houston while Verlander is on the mend. In his comeback from Tommy John surgery this season, Verlander has re-emerged as a leading American League Cy Young candidate, as he turned in a 1.84 ERA and 0.86 WHIP over 152 innings before exiting Sunday's outing. He won't be eligible to come off the IL until Sept. 13.

Angels' Matt Duffy: Activated by Angels
Duffy (back) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday. Duffy had been on the injured list since the end of June, but he spent the last few weeks on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake and hit .179 with a run, an RBI, a walk and six strikeouts over eight minor-league games. Duffy isn't starting Monday against the Yankees and will likely have to compete with Luis Rengifo for playing time at third base over the final month of the season.

Rays' Ryan Yarbrough: Called back up to majors
The Rays recalled Yarbrough from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. Tampa Bay optioned Yarbrough to Triple-A on Saturday since the team planned to get by with a four-man rotation during its five-game week, but reliever Ryan Thompson's (triceps) move to the injured list Tuesday prompted the team to bring Yarbrough back from the minors earlier than anticipated. Yarbrough is expected to work out of the bullpen for the next few days before likely slotting back into the rotation when a fifth starter is next required Sept. 6 versus the Red Sox.
CBS Sports
Diamondbacks' Stone Garrett: Goes deep again Monday
Garrett went 2-for-5 with a home run, an additional run and an additional RBI in Monday's 13-7 victory against the Phillies. Garrett brought in Arizona's second run with a single in the fourth inning, and he plated the team's 13th and final run with his solo shot to left field in the eighth. It was his second consecutive game with a long ball, and the multi-hit performance was his fourth in six contests since being called up Aug. 17. Garrett has plenty of power as demonstrated by the 28 homers he slugged in 103 games at the Triple-A level prior to being moved up to the big-league club.

Pirates' Rodolfo Castro: Smacks fifth homer
Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday against the Brewers. Castro continues to swing a hot bat, as four of his five home runs this season have come since he was recalled Aug. 9.

Though Castro isn't the everyday starter at either second or third base, the Pirates have made room for him in the lineup and that is likely to remain the case so long as he continues to hit. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2719790275873/astros-seth-martinez-back-in-majors | 2022-08-31T13:30:45Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2719790275873/astros-seth-martinez-back-in-majors | true | 1 |

New God Of War: Ragnarok Gameplay Video Shows Off Updated Combat Abilities
Elemental attacks and new shields highlight Kratos's newfound combat skills.
God of War: Ragnarok is a few short months away, but outside of a few trailers, we haven't learned too much about Kratos and Arteus's next father/son field trip. Two of the lead combat designers for the game, Mihir Sheth and Denny Yeh, have broken the silence, offering some insight on new combat abilities for the former Spartan.
Speaking with Game Informer, Sheth and Yeh have detailed some of Kratos's new combat techniques, including the ability to infuse both the Leviathan Axe and the Blades of Chaos with enhanced elemental properties depending on the weapon--ice for the Axe and fire for the Blades. Doing so activates new Weapon Signature Moves--Frost Awaken for the Axe and Whiplash for the Blades--which will inflict massive damage on enemies.
Shields will play a larger role in God of War: Ragnarok's combat scheme, new shield types affecting how specific shields can be used in battle. Some, like the Dauntless Shield, are lighter but excel at parrying--flashing red to signal the right moment to parry--while others such as the Stonewall Shield are sturdier and more fit for slower combat, absorbing damage and creating a shockwave that knocks enemies down when enough damage is absorbed.
Sheth and Yeh also dive into a new enemy type called the Grim, a lizard-like creature that stands on two legs. Some powerful Grims, including a Cursed variant, can shoot bile from their mouths, making them a threat from a distance. No other new enemies were unveiled, but Sheth and Yet did say that areas will repopulate with new enemies as the game progresses, so backtracking through an area may reveal some new challenges.
God of War: Ragnarok is the follow-up to 2018's God of War soft reboot, and will mark the end of the Norse mythology-based storyline. It is set to launch November 9 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

FinTech company dedicated to caring for team members, clients and community
DETROIT, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rocket Companies, Inc. (NYSE: RKT), a Detroit-based FinTech platform company consisting of tech-driven financial services businesses – including Rocket Mortgage, Rocket Homes, Rocket Auto and Rocket Money (formerly known as Truebill) – today placed 5th on People Magazine's 2022 "Companies That Care" list, shining a spotlight on the organization's inclusive, impact-driven culture. Rocket Companies is known for its 20 core philosophies called ISMs, its community impact and commitment to simplifying complex transactions to help Americans achieve their dreams.
"We believe in a simple saying – love your people and love your clients. This has led to a business that cares deeply about its team members and communities," said Jay Farner, CEO of Rocket Companies. "The ranking on this list is a reflection of that philosophy, the work we do every day, the incredible passion our team members show and the positive impact we are making on those around us."
According to the Great Place to Work survey that contributed to this ranking, 94% of Rocket Companies' team members believe it is a great place to work and an impressive 97% of those surveyed said they feel good about the ways the company contributes to the community. The organization's culture operates with a "For-More-Than-Profit" mindset and team members are encouraged to bring their authentic selves to work, leading to 94% of survey respondents feeling proud to work for Rocket Companies.
Rocket Companies proudly offers unique perks, often adding more as the needs of its workforce change. Among the most notable benefits are the newly-created Rocket Home Grant, a program enabling team members to receive up to $10,000 toward a down payment if they are a first-time homebuyer – along with exclusive loan pricing and discounted closing costs through Rocket Mortgage. The company's generous health benefits include a 100% company-paid health plan option, an onsite health clinic with $5 office visits and a pharmacy with greatly discounted over-the-counter drugs. Rocket Companies' insurance also covers fertility treatments – including IVF – to help team members grow their families.
"It is well known that when people feel like their needs are taken care of, and they are appreciated for the work they do, they more effectively take care of the company's clients," said Mike Malloy, Chief Amazement Officer of Rocket Central – serving Rocket Companies. "Every person has access to customized benefits – like professional development training and a wealth of resources including free degree and continuing education programs – to encourage a rewarding and purposeful career for all."
In addition to the care and attention given to its team members, Rocket Companies recognizes that business and community are inextricably linked.

In 2021, the Gilbert Family Foundation – the personal foundation of Rocket Companies founder and chairman Dan Gilbert and his wife Jennifer – along with the Rocket Community Fund – the philanthropic partner of Rocket Companies – continued delivering on this commitment by introducing a 10-year, $500 million philanthropic commitment to building economic and social opportunity for Detroit residents. To date, nearly 5,000 low-income homeowners in the city have had their property tax debt eliminated through the Detroit Tax Relief Fund – an initiative launched by the Gilbert Family Foundation. Subsequent investments have included the Detroit Home Repair Fund, the Detroit Eviction Defense Fund and support for arts and culture institutions like the Motown Museum.
In 2020, the first and only PGA TOUR event in Detroit's city limits – the Rocket Mortgage Classic – introduced its "Changing the Course" campaign. "Changing the Course" invests proceeds from the Rocket Mortgage Classic toward ensuring that every Detroit resident has access to the internet, technology and digital skills training within a 10-minute walk of their home. To date, the Rocket Mortgage Classic has invested more than $3.2 million toward this mission, connecting nearly 100,000 Detroit households to the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) and helping increase the city's overall digital inclusion rate from 40% in 2020 to nearly 70% in 2022.
"By aligning all of the business resources across Rocket Companies toward our communities, we can truly drive systemic change," said Laura Grannemann, Vice President of the Rocket Community Fund. "Rocket Companies, through the Rocket Community Fund, is intentional about investing dollars in Detroit and across the country – both to make a lasting impact and to deeply connect team members with a cause bigger than themselves."

(4th LD) S. Korea to lift pre-travel COVID-19 test requirement for inbound travelers this week
(ATTN: ADDS info in last para)
SEOUL, Aug. 31 (Yonhap) -- South Korea will lift its current pre-travel COVID-19 test requirement for inbound travelers later this week, an official said Wednesday, as the government believes the recent virus wave has passed its peak and the spread of omicron could slow down.
The new rule that will take effect Saturday came after a state infectious disease advisory committee recommended the government lift the mandatory pre-travel polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for inbound travelers.
"All inbound travelers, whether our nationals or foreigners, arriving aboard a plane or ship will not need to hand in a negative PCR test starting midnight of Sept. 3," Second Vice Health Minister Lee Ki-il said in a virus response meeting.
The new measure will be applied to all arrivals, regardless of their vaccination status or the country of departure.
Currently, inbound travelers are required to show a negative result within 48 hours of their PCR tests or within 24 hours of their rapid antigen tests to enter the country.
Critics and the travel industry have called for the requirements to be scrapped, citing low efficiency of the tests that often lack accuracy and cost burdens for individual travelers. They also cited other countries that have removed the test mandate.
"The virus has been slowing in other countries and we have also confirmed a decline in nine weeks," Peck Kyong-ran, commissioner of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA), said.
"The decision is aligned with the global trend of discontinuing the negative PCR test submission, although we will quickly toughen the entry procedure in the event of another variant outbreak," Peck said.
Travelers still need to take a PCR test within the first 24 hours of their arrival in South Korea, a "minimum measure" put in place to prevent the inflow and spread of any variant from overseas. Rapid antigen tests will not be accepted.
Under the law, violators of the post-arrival PCR test rule will face up to one year in prison or a maximum fine of 10 million won (US$7,460). They can be liable for civil damages in case their violation causes damage to the South Korean government over additional quarantine measures and the spread of the pandemic.
The government said it plans to introduce the retooled COVID-19 vaccines known to be more effective for the BA.5 omicron variant, the dominant strain in the current virus wave, in the fourth quarter of this year.
Those aged 60 and over, or with underlying health conditions, will be prioritized for inoculation.
Authorities will also start allowing the inoculation of SKYCovione vaccines, developed by SK Bioscience, from next month.
On Wednesday, South Korea reported 103,961 new COVID-19 infections, including 458 cases from overseas, bringing the total caseload to 23,246,398, the KDCA said.
The latest daily tally is down from Tuesday's 115,638. Health authorities and experts said the recent virus wave has passed its peak, and they expect to see a gradual slowdown of the omicron spread for some time.
The country added 75 COVID-19 deaths, putting the death toll at 26,764.
The number of critically ill patients stood at 569, down 22 from the previous day, the KDCA said.
As of 9 p.m. Wednesday, the country had reported 79,977 additional infections, down 20,813 from the same time the previous day and down 29,356 from the previous week, according to health authorities and provincial governments. Daily virus cases are counted until midnight and announced the following morning.

The Beatles’ ‘Lovely Rita’: Paul McCartney Revealed a Woman Falsely Said She Inspired the Song
TL;DR:
- John Lennon had strong feelings about Paul McCartney’s contributions to The Beatles’ “Lovely Rita.”
- Paul said someone falsely said she inspired the track.
- The individual in question was not named Rita.
John Lennon was asked if The Beatles‘ “Lovely Rita” was about a real person. During a separate interview, Paul McCartney said someone incorrectly said she inspired the song. Notably, “Lovely Rita” appeared on one of The Beatles’ most famous albums.
John Lennon praised 1 of The Beatles’ songs
The book All We Are Saying: The Last Major Interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono contains an interview from 1980. In it, John was asked about “Lovely Rita.” “That’s Paul, again writing a good lyric,” John said.
John was asked if Rita was real. “Nah!” John replied. “He makes ’em up like a novelist. You hear lots of McCartney-influenced songs on the radio now. These stories about boring people doing boring things: being postmen and secretaries and writing home.”
John contrasted himself with Paul. “I’m not interested in writing third-party songs,” he revealed. “I like to write about me; ’cause I know me.”

Paul McCartney revealed the origin of The Beatles’ ‘Lovely Rita’
In the 1997 book Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now, Paul discussed the origin of “Lovely Rita.” “I remember one night just going for a walk and working on the words as I walked,” he recalled. “It wasn’t based on a real person but, as often happened, it was claimed by a girl called Rita who was a traffic warden who apparently did give me a ticket, so that made the newspapers.”
Paul ruminated on the traffic warden. “I think it was more a question of coincidence: anyone called Rita who gave me a ticket would naturally think, ‘It’s me!'” he opined. “I didn’t think, ‘Wow, that woman gave me a ticket, I’ll write a song about her.’ Never happened like that.” The warden’s name was actually Meta Davies.
How ‘Lovely Rita’ performed on the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom
“Lovely Rita” was never a single in the United States, so it did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The track appeared on The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Sgt. Pepper topped the Billboard 200 for 15 weeks, staying on the chart for 233 weeks in total. Abbey Road was the Fab Four’s only studio album to last longer on the chart.
The Official Charts Company reports “Lovely Rita” did not chart in the United Kingdom either. Meanwhile, Sgt. Pepper topped the U.K. chart for 28 weeks. The album stayed on the chart for 277 weeks altogether.
“Lovely Rita” wasn’t a hit but it highlighted Paul’s imagination. | https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-beatles-lovely-rita-paul-mccartney-revealed-woman-falsely-said-inspired-song.html/ | 2022-08-31T13:42:16Z | https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-beatles-lovely-rita-paul-mccartney-revealed-woman-falsely-said-inspired-song.html/ | true | 1 |
SA has over 200 vetted beneficiary organisations, 60 of which are located across KZN, from Richards Bay to Pietermaritzburg. In the month of August 2022, over 287,958 meals were delivered to beneficiaries in the province.
In terms of the agreement, The Sharks will provide SA Harvest with 500m2 of dedicated warehouse space at Hollywoodbets Kings Park, doubling the NPO's storage capacity.
“This means we have the potential to house sufficient stock to deliver a million meals at any point in time. SA Harvest’s model is based on the premise that if we can redirect some of the 13 million tonnes of perfectly edible, nutritious food that goes to waste every year in South Africa, we can significantly alleviate hunger while at the same time reduce the impact of food waste on the environment.
"The problem in this country is not a lack of food. The problem is a system which deprives millions of people access to affordable nutritious food, and while our strategy is to reduce hunger, we are also involved in systemic initiatives that will ultimately help end hunger in our country,” says Alan Browde, CEO of SA Harvest.
The relationship between SA Harvest and The Sharks began after the KZN riots when the two organisations partnered to bring relief to affected areas, primarily in Zululand, through The Sharks’ Hands of Hope initiative. “The formalisation of the partnership between our two organisations will significantly expand the reach of both organisations’ efforts to fight hunger,” Browde says.
The agreement provides The Sharks with the means to amplify the reach of its Hands of Hope initiative and its ability to engage and inspire for greater impact through hunger relief efforts in Zululand.
“SA Harvest does great and meaningful work which has made it very easy for The Sharks to align and partner with SA Harvest. The Sharks have welcomed SA Harvest to Hollywoodbets Kings Park by building a permanent warehouse for SA Harvest to operate from.
"SA Harvest have committed to assisting The Sharks Foundation and our Hands of Hope initiative by providing 45,000 meals quarterly to registered NPOs and local communities that The Sharks support around the greater Durban area. This is huge for The Sharks, as it will allow us to make the relationships sustainable and really help those in need with essential food products,” says Dr Eduard Coetzee, The Sharks CEO.
SA Harvest’s long-term vision for the KZN region, which will be aided by the larger warehouse, is to expand relief efforts beyond the borders of KZN into the Eastern Cape, and to deepen the relationship with existing beneficiary organisations to begin addressing the systemic causes of hunger. | https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/849/231080.html | 2022-08-31T13:42:41Z | https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/849/231080.html | false | 1 |

A North Shuswap farm has been recognized through B.C.’s Century Farm Award program.
The Riley-Gillis family of Hungry Rock Farm in Celista is being honoured for its more than 100-year commitment to B.C. agriculture, food and the local economy.
“Farming is a difficult job that involves early mornings, late evenings and a commitment to producing high-quality food for British Columbians. It’s impressive to see this commitment at Hungry Rock Farm,” said Lana Popham, B.C.’s Minister of Agriculture and Food. “Congratulations to the Riley-Gillis family on this achievement and best wishes as your farm continues to grow in Celista.”
According to history provided by the provincial government, Hungry Rock Farm started before 1920, with Charles Riley clearing the land with his cow Bessy, oxen and draft horses.
With the land cleared, Charles started a dairy farm, shipping cream across Shuswap Lake to Salmon Arm.
Charles and Mary Riley were married in the mid-1940s.
Charles and Mary’s daughter, Rosemary Gillis, purchased the farm in 1969 and continued to farm while raising her children Carole and Charlie Gillis. Together, they raised beef cattle, sheep and Welsh ponies.
Charles lived on the farm and helped with farm chores until he died in 1982.
Throughout the 1990s, the farm focused on producing sheep.
“Charles and Mary’s greatest pride was farming and caring for the land with their family, and they would be immensely gratified to see that recognized and know that it continues today,” said Rosemary.
Currently, Rosemary leases the farm to local hay producers and continues to work with them to provide hay for B.C. animals.
B.C. Century Farm Awards honour farms, ranches and agricultural organizations that have been active for 100 years or longer, as well as those whose farms and ranches have been in families for 100 years or more.
Each Century Farm Award celebrates the rich heritage of farming and ranching in the province.

Before establishing himself as a global superstar, Stephen Curry was a scrawny sophomore guard at a mid-major college who turned heads with his prolific scoring during the 2008 NCAA Tournament.
Davidson College’s magical run to the Elite 8 that spring was a breakout party of sorts for Curry. Round after round, 10th-seeded Davidson, led by Curry, captivated the nation as the Wildcats took down three mighty giants on their way to the Elite 8 and were a shot away from knocking out the future NCAA champions.
Fourteen years after the wild ride, Curry’s college basketball legacy will be sealed Wednesday when his jersey is retired at a special graduation ceremony on the campus in North Carolina. The now four-time NBA champion will also be inducted into Davidson’s Hall of Fame.
Longtime Davidson men’s basketball coach Bob McKillop knew there was something special about Curry before the point guard even played a game.
Even now, McKillop’s sentiment about the now four-time NBA champion still rings true: There’s no one quite like Curry.
“I would hear all the time, ‘My son is the next Steph Curry. This guy is the next Steph Curry.’ There’s only one Steph Curry,” McKillop recently said at Curry’s annual basketball camp. “I have lived in a time period in which there’s been a Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Joe Montana and Tom Brady, Jim Brown, iconic figures in the world of sports. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen someone as impactful globally as Steph.”
Curry needed only three seasons to become the Southern Conference’s all-time leading scorer. Across those three years, he set a conference career record for made 3-pointers (414) and set an NCAA season record with 162 in 2008.
But the most exciting chapter of his college career came during the 2008 NCAA Tournament.
Curry averaged 32 points in four games while shooting 46% from 3-point range. He stirred up excitement with his second-half scoring flurries.
In a first-round win over No. 7 Gonzaga, Davidson’s first March Madness victory since 1969, Curry scored 30 of his 40 points after halftime. Likewise, in the second-round, Curry helped the Wildcats storm back from a 17-point hole, scoring 25 of his 30 points in the second half.
After the first two rounds, Curry was in the national spotlight. So much so, LeBron James went to see the blossoming college basketball star in person in the Sweet 16 as Davidson took on third-seeded Wisconsin.
Curry scored 33 points and went 6-for-11 from deep as the Wildcats earned their third consecutive upset and the program’s third Elite 8 berth.
Davidson also came close to sending top-seeded Kansas home. The Jayhawks smothered Curry with a double team on the final possession, forcing him to pass to an open Jason Richards in the last seconds, who missed a deep 3-pointer. Curry finished with 25 points and made only 4-of-16 shots from 3-point range.
Davidson missed the NCAA Tournament the next year, and Curry opted out of his senior season to enter the 2009 NBA draft, when the Golden State Warriors took him No. 7 overall.
Curry is by far the most accomplished and famous athlete — and perhaps alumnus — to come out of the relatively small college that had an enrollment of about 1,700 in 2008. But for Davidson to retire Curry’s jersey, he needed to earn his degree, a goal he genuinely desired to complete.
Time isn’t exactly abundant for Curry, but he did some of his left over classwork during the 2011 NBA lockout before re-enrolling this spring to finish the last of the academic requirements for his sociology degree.
Curry didn’t walk across the stage at Davidson’s graduation ceremony in May as he had other business to attend to — preparing for the Western Conference finals en route to his fourth NBA title.
But the accomplishment of getting his degree — something he promised his mother and McKillop he would do when he entered the NBA draft in 2009 — wasn’t lost on Curry.
“This is a long time coming,” Curry said during the NBA playoffs. “Just obviously a sense of accomplishment.”
Curry’s No. 30 jersey will join seven other players’ already hanging in Belk Arena. There will be a livestream of the sold-out ceremony on Davidson’s athletics’ website.
“Representing the program that [McKillop] built and to be part of that history, it means a lot,” Curry said.

Erison ended last Tuesday his spell at Botafogo after participating directly in 16 of the 27 points that the club won in this Brasileirão. Whether with a goal or an assist, the striker had influence in five wins and one draw in the alvinegra campaign.

The survey is from the ge Statistical Spy, which mapped the attacker’s interference in the 20 rounds he played. The striker scored seven goals in this Brasileirão, and six of them changed the score in favor of the team, whether for a win or a draw. The athlete’s only assist in the tournament was also decisive in changing the score.
Through Erison’s direct participation, Botafogo won Ceará, Flamengo, Fortaleza, Inter and Athletico, in addition to drawing with América-MG.
+ Tiquinho Soares enters the final stretch to debut
The Spy of ge considers decisive goals and assists those that change the score at the moment, and not necessarily the final scorer of the match. In this criterion, the only participation of Erison that is out is the third goal against Ceará, in the first round, when Bota was already winning the match by 2 to 1.

The club, however, predicts that competition will become too heavy for him. In the last window, the board looked for two strikers who promise to be the main options of the squad: Tiquinho Soares (who won the number 9 shirt) and Júnior Santos. The coaching staff also wants to continue Matheus’ evolution process, which leaves the vacancies for center forwards in the squad filled.
– Two players arrived, we have Matheus growing. Four forwards is too many for any team. We understand that Erison needs more minutes, he came from Brazil from Pelotas, he is growing. Europe can give him that time, and here he runs the risk of not having it. We didn’t lose the player, he continues in the growth process and will gain more minutes in another team – explained coach Luís Castro.

GÖTEBORG, Sweden, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To reduce natural resource usage and its trucks' environmental impact, Renault Trucks is taking steps to transitioning its industrial operations to a circular-economy approach. Renault Trucks' Used Parts Factory is the logical next step after the used trucks repurposing and remanufacturing operations conducted respectively in its Used Trucks Factory in Bourg-en-Bresse and its plant in Limoges. At this industrial facility located in Vénissieux, the brand's trucks will be dismantled, and their parts reused.
Over the past five years, Renault Trucks has invested in the circular economy, applying a three-pronged approach that consists in regenerating, repurposing and recycling used trucks.
Renault Trucks is conducting numerous initiatives to extend the lifetime of the vehicles it sells. For example, used trucks are remanufactured according to strict industrial processes at the Used Trucks Factory, vehicles are updated with the latest technologies in the reconditioning centre in Lyon, and there are also used special-series models for sale.
Pushing on with its plan, the manufacturer has announced the creation of its Used Parts Factory, an industrial site devoted entirely to recycling trucks and reusing the parts and raw materials recovered from them. The initiative was backed by a preliminary feasibility study conducted in 2020 by Renault Trucks in tandem with the specialist Indra Automobile Recycling and ADEME, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency.
The Used Parts Factory recycles end-of-life trucks
Renault Trucks, which has announced its plans to recycle end-of-life trucks and reuse their spare parts, is opening a dedicated plant in the heart of its manufacturing facility in Lyon-Vénissieux. This 3,000m2 plant, built as close as possible to the logistics centre, will handle used Renault Trucks vehicles with high mileages, along with some parts that still have substantial potential for reuse. Renault Trucks vehicles and their components are in fact designed to last for over 1.5 million kilometres.
End-of-life Renault Trucks will enter the Used Parts Factory to be dismantled. Operators will remove the components previously identified as suitable for reuse (engine, gearbox, cabin, fuel tank, bumpers, deflectors, etc.).
Once the parts intended for reuse have been removed, the other components will be recycled. The rails, for example, will be cut up then sent to the nearby foundry. The metal extracted from the parts will be used to manufacture a new vehicle.
The components intended for re-use will then be checked, cleaned and labelled for listing and traceability purposes. These used spare parts will then be sent to the nearby Renault Trucks spare parts store, just like new spare parts.
Used Parts by Renault Trucks: a manufacturer's offering of used spare parts
Like new spare parts, the used spare parts marketed under the label "Used Parts by Renault Trucks" will be made available to dealers on the manufacturer's online spare parts marketplace. These used spare parts will be covered by a manufacturer's warranty and their cost will be significantly lower compared to new spare parts.
Regarding used parts for its old vehicle ranges, Renault Trucks is continuing to work with Indra Automobile Recycling and will offer its dealership network a range of parts obtained through dismantling operations carried out by the recycling specialist.
With this new offer, Renault Trucks is continuing its progression towards carbon neutrality. It is also addressing the shortage of components and raw materials that is impacting the industry as a whole.
About Renault Trucks
Building on the legacy of more than a century of French truck know-how, Renault Trucks supplies transport professionals with a range of vehicles (from 3.1 to 60 T) and services adapted to the segments of distribution, construction and long distance. Renault Trucks vehicles are sturdy and reliable with low fuel consumption that enables them to deliver greater productivity and control operating costs. Renault Trucks distributes and maintains its vehicles through a network of more than 1,500 service points around the world. The design and assembly of Renault Trucks vehicles, as well as the production of most of the components, are carried out in France.

Despite trade rumors swirling from before last season’s trade deadline through this offseason, Nikola Vucevic remains as the Bulls starting center heading into the 2022-23 season.
Last season, Vucevic had a down shooting year with a lack-luster presence on the defensive end, which attributed to a first-round exit for Chicago against Milwaukee in five games.
In HoopHype’s latest NBA rankings, Vucevic landed at No. 14 on their Top 25 centers list.
Frank Urbina of HoopsHype explains:
His shooting fell off a cliff last season as Nikola Vucevic hit just 31.4 percent of his threes while his defensive presence left the Chicago Bulls wanting. In fact, over his season-plus with the Bulls, Vucevic has been a negative-impact player, posting a -4.2 swing rating in 2020-21 and a -3.7 mark last season.
It didn’t help, however, that Patrick Williams, Chicago’s projected starting power forward and a defensive ace who would have covered multiple positions and helped protect Vucevic defensively, was lost after just merely games before returning just ahead of the playoffs.
With a full offseason to gel now, Vucevic and Williams should be able to form a strong partnership, one that should help the skilled center regain his All-Star form.
Vucevic does remain a stout rebounder who can do a good amount of scoring in the post and on face-up chances.
His raw numbers were solid enough, too, at 17.6 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists last campaign, but the Bulls are going to need more out of their center if they want to become something more than first-round playoff fodder in 2022-23.
For the Bulls to build upon their No. 6 seed this coming season, along with health, Vucevic will need to channel the Orlando version of himself and be a more effective rim protector.

A heartbreaking clip has been shared by PoliticsJOE that can’t fail to move you.
It comes as Martin Lewis has challenged the next prime minister to appear on ITV with him to discuss the cost of living crisis.
Food bank users are now requesting “non-cook food” after surging energy prices mean they “can’t afford to put the oven on”, organisations have warned.
The cost-of-living crisis has seen a rise in food bank users, as shop prices rose by a record 5.1% in August, according to the latest report by the British Retail Consortium.
This, combined with a huge surge in energy bills, has led to an “unsustainable situation”, Ian Oulton, a trustee of West Cheshire Foodbank, said.
Dinner lady
Speaking at an Enough is Enough rally in Manchester, the woman said that she is dreading going back to work in October over fears many of the school’s pupils will not be able to afford lunch.
“I didn’t take the job on to starve children”, she said, adding that the issue is getting noticeably worse of late.”
Watch
Famous chef Jamie Oliver saw the video and tweeted: “This is so heartbreaking. No kid should be hungry at school @trussliz @RishiSunak.”
The widespread issue of food poverty has also been laid bare by Labour MP Ian Bryne, he said: “2,500 food banks – more food banks than McDonald’s. Enough is enough.”

Parents quick to seek universal ESAs, but they may need a backup plan
Parents submitted more than 6,000 applications in the past two weeks for their newly eligible children to receive Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESA) according to the Arizona Department of Education (ADE).
Catch up fast: Gov. Doug Ducey signed a law in July that expanded the program to all students.
- It has historically been open only to specific groups, such as students with disabilities, kids who attend failing schools, Native Americans who live on reservations or children whose siblings participate in the program.
Why it matters: Under the ESA program, parents who pull their children from public schools receive money to spend on private school tuition, tutoring and educational materials.
- The Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimated in June that there were at least 47,000 private school students and about 35,000 homeschooled students who would become eligible under the law for ESAs.
By the numbers: Since Aug. 16, when the ADE opened applications for universal ESAs, it has received 6,494 applications for students who wouldn't have previously qualified for the program, the department announced on Twitter Tuesday.
- About 75% of those students were not previously enrolled in a public school, which was a requirement for eligibility prior to the universal expansion law, the ADE tweeted.
- The ADE also received 279 applications for students who met the preexisting criteria.
- There are currently 12,127 students participating in the program, the department tells Axios.
Yes, but: ESA opponents are collecting signatures to refer the law to the ballot, which would put universal expansion on hold until voters approve it.
- So parents who are counting on using the vouchers for their kids should probably have backup plans.
Of note: It's too late to put the law on the ballot for this year's general election, so if Save Our Schools Arizona succeeds in collecting enough signatures, voters won't have a chance to weigh in until November 2024.
- If enough signatures aren't collected, the expansion law will go into effect on Sept. 24.
Save Our Schools spokesperson Beth Lewis wouldn't say how many signatures the campaign has collected so far, but she tells Axios that it's on pace to collect the nearly 119,000 they need.
- "This obviously will light a fire for people who kind of maybe thought, 'Oh, it's not going to be that bad,'" Lewis said of the ADE's announcement on ESA enrollment.

"We will do whatever is required to reduce people's sufferings and the Awami League government is truly doing that," she said.
The Premier said these while participating in a general discussion on a proposal brought by opposition Jatiya Party lawmaker Mujibul Haque Chunnu.
Chunnu placed the proposal titled "Parliament's opinion is that short and long term sustainable measures taken by the government to deal with the problems of Covid-19, global unrest, Ukraine-Russia war, climate change, natural disasters, energy crisis, rising commodity prices should be informed to the nation through discussion in parliament."
The leader of the house briefly described the government's initiatives to tackle the situation due to the year-long Covid-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war. She said the government is taking these steps so the country doesn't plunge into food scarcity.
Sheikh Hasina also reiterated her call to utilize every inch of the land to produce food products.
In this regard, she said the amount of import expenditure has been raised by an additional US$ nine billion due to price hike of the import items.
"We're regularly analyzing the situation extensively," she said, adding that "the government is not relying on the analysis of the researchers, rather we are analyzing by ourselves and considering the situation of the people and taking steps as per that direction."
The Prime Minister said that they will expand incentives for the export oriented items to boost export alongside diversification of it.
She, however, regretted that a section of people are always there who want to make extra profits during the hard times.
Sheikh Hasina noted that the whole world has fallen into trouble due to the Russia-Ukraine war, sanctions and counter sanctions.
In this regard, she mentioned that developed countries have already started austerity to reduce the consumption of energy and other essential commodities.
"People's welfare is the biggest issue to us, if people are in pain it gives me pain too," she added.
Seeking cooperation from all, the head of the government also urged all to refrain from confusing people through disseminating misleading information.
Earlier, lawmakers from opposition Jatiya Party and BNP in parliament blasted the government for the price hike of essentials, increasing price of gasoline products and governance related issues.
Treasury bench lawmakers, however, said the current situation of the country, particularly price hike of essentials, was caused due to global crisis following the Russia-Ukraine war. | https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/govt-takes-steps-make-life-easy-people-pm-tells-js-487082 | 2022-08-31T14:16:33Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/govt-takes-steps-make-life-easy-people-pm-tells-js-487082 | true | 2 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Any federal student loans used to attend the for-profit Westwood College from 2002 through 2015 will be canceled after federal officials found that the school greatly exaggerated the job prospects of its graduates, the Biden administration announced Tuesday.
The action will automatically erase $1.5 billion in federal student debt for 79,000 borrowers who attended the now-defunct college, according to the Education Department.
It adds to the administration’s mounting effort to cancel federal loans for students who were defrauded by their colleges — more than $14 billion has been erased so far — and it follows President Joe Biden’s sweeping plan to cancel at least $10,000 in student debt for millions of Americans.
The Westwood College cancellation applies to all students who attended the chain from Jan. 1, 2002, through Nov. 17, 2015, when the college stopped enrolling new students before its 2016 closure. Students will not need to apply for the relief.
With help from attorneys general in Colorado and Illinois, federal officials found that the college routinely misled prospective students about their chances of getting good jobs after graduating.
In its marketing materials, the chain advertised employment rates and salary outcomes that were “grossly inflated,” the Education Department found. It also promised to help graduates pay their bills if they couldn’t find jobs within six months after graduating — a pledge officials say wasn’t kept.
In Illinois, the chain’s criminal justice programs told students they could expect law enforcement jobs in agencies including the Illinois State Police, but Westwood never had the accreditation needed to meet employment requirements for the state, authorities found.
“Westwood operated on a culture of false promises, lies, and manipulation in order to profit off student debt that burdened borrowers long after Westwood closed,” said James Kvaal, under secretary of education.
Kvaal said the administration is ramping up efforts to protect students and to “ensure that executives who commit such harm never work at institutions that receive federal financial aid again.”
Before its closure, Westwood operated 15 campuses in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois and Virginia, along with online programs.
A group of students and civil rights organizations sued the Education Department in May demanding debt cancellation for Westwood students in Illinois based on findings of fraud there. It followed a settlement between the college and Illinois that erased institutional loans but not federal debt.
“It never should have taken this long — or litigation — for the Department of Education to do the right thing, but we are thrilled that the department has finally discharged the loans of defrauded Westwood College students,” said Dan Zibel, chief counsel at National Student Legal Defense Network, one of the groups behind the suit.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., called it a victory for students but said more must be done “to crack down on for-profit colleges that lie and lead Illinoisans into mountains of student debt without a viable degree or career path.”
The cancellation is being granted through a federal rule known as borrower defense, which provides federal student debt cancellation to borrowers whose colleges misled them or defrauded them in other ways. The rule has mostly been used to erase debt used to attend for-profit colleges.
In similar actions, the Biden administration also moved to cancel nearly $6 billion for former students of Corinthian Colleges and nearly $4 billion for former students of ITT Technical institute.
After months of intense pressure for broader student debt cancellation, Biden last week unveiled a plan to forgive $10,000 in federal student debt for all borrowers with incomes less than $125,000 a year or $250,000 per household. Those who received a federal Pell Grant to attend college are eligible for an additional $10,000 in cancellation.
The plan, which is almost certain to be challenged in court, applies to federal student loans that were paid out before July 1 of this year. It applies to loans used to attend undergraduate and graduate programs.
Most borrowers will need to apply for cancellation through an application that the Education Department is expected to create by early October. Early applicants could see their student debt canceled before the start of next year, when a federal pause on student debt payments is set to expire.
The White House estimates the cancellation will cost $240 billion over the next 10 years, but outside analysts say it could be much higher. Official cost projections from the federal government are expected in coming weeks.

SEATTLE — New research from the University of Washington found restaurants that identified as "Black-owned" in 2020 saw decreases in visits compared to those without a label.
"In the long run, especially the last months of 2020 the black-owned businesses declined faster than those restaurants that revealed their ownership," said Bo Zhao, an associate professor of geography at the University of Washington, who led the study through his Humanistic GIS Lab.
In 2020 several companies began "Black-owned" labeling campaigns. They were designed to help customers support Black-owned businesses. However, the research released Monday by the University of Washington said there were statistically significant differences between Black-owned and “ownership-unreported” restaurants.
Zhao said his team looked at geographic information from 45 million cellphones in 20 cities. What they saw is most Black-owned restaurants saw an initial spike in business at the start of the labeling campaign, but data shows visits in many cities during the later months of 2020 declined faster at Black-owned labeled restaurants than locations where ownership wasn't reported.
New Orleans and Detroit showed the greatest declines, while New York showed the least. Seattle's graph showed several ups and downs, which Zhao said indicates the difference between the two is not significant enough to draw a conclusion.
Zhao wants the study to get the attention of tech companies that launched these labeling campaigns. He sees an opportunity for a tech company to think critically about how it supports the Black community.
"It can definitely be improved, be more helpful if we think more critically about the consequences and also inform the community of color about the consequences," said Zhao, "There's a lot of room to make improvements from the tech companies, but also everyone."
The study further discovered while a restaurant can choose not to select a label, it can still be labeled as "Black-owned" based on previous online reviews. Zhao said a complete opt-out isn't an option. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/uw-study-black-owned-restaurants-disproportionately-impacted-pandemic/281-6d4a9148-e59e-45ee-adb3-8715cea49e5e | 2022-08-31T14:18:36Z | https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/uw-study-black-owned-restaurants-disproportionately-impacted-pandemic/281-6d4a9148-e59e-45ee-adb3-8715cea49e5e | true | 2 |
Following a handful of recent reported coyote attacks in Burlington, the city is offering coyote whistles to help residents “haze” any of the wild animals they may encounter.
In a release on Tuesday night, a statement said the whistles are available “first come, first serve” at its service offices at Sims Square, the Nelson Recreation Centre and at seven public library branches.
“Consistent hazing will scare off coyotes by re-instilling their fear of humans,” municipal staff said.
“Any time you see a coyote in a residential area, use hazing techniques to scare it away.”
Last week Burlington animal control advised residents to use “hazing techniques” to shoo away coyotes, including yelling loudly, waving arms, throwing small rocks and even spraying the animal with a garden hose or water gun filled with vinegar.
The message came after a jogger, an 18-year-old girl and a two-and-a-half-year-old child were reportedly attacked this past August in south-central and southeast Burlington.
Burlington mayor Marianne Meed Ward assured residents the problem was with one coyote that was positively identified by animal control and “eliminated.” | https://globalnews.ca/news/9096673/burlington-coyote-whistles/ | 2022-08-31T14:21:41Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/9096673/burlington-coyote-whistles/ | false | 1 |
Prophet Ajagurajah, known in private as Abed Kwabena Boakye Asiamah, the leader of the Universal Spiritual Outreach (Ajagurajah Movement) has said blood money which is commonly referred to as "Sikaduro" in our local dialect is very common nowadays.
According to the prophet, approximately 80% of the world's population, whether intentionally or unintentionally, uses blood money.
Ajagurajah explained to Fiifi Pratt of Accra-based Kingdom Plus FM that blood money can be money obtained after speaking with a ghost or any supernatural spirit for wealth.
“80% of people have used blood money, whether they knew it or not. Blood money is any money you got from talking to a ghost. The way you think about blood money, a snake should be spitting out money, but that’s not what happens,” he noted.
The controversial prophet further intimated that some women who have tattoos designed in Chinese letters on the right side of their necks engage in blood money.
These women who seek evil means to become wealthy, according to Ajagurajah, travel to Burkina Faso, Senegal and Cameroon for voodoo to become powerful.
“Watch out for women who have tattoos on the right side of their necks. If the writing is in Chinese, Arabic, or another language you don’t know, you should be very careful around the woman. “In Cameroon, the women now bathe in rivers,” Ajagurajah said.
He stressed “some women are interested in blood money. When a lady comes to see you and you have to go to the bathroom, show her the tissue you used. Don’t throw it away. The women are now going to Senegal, Cameroon, and Burkina Faso to get blood money and command spirits. Now, a little girl can tell an old person what to do.” | https://www.modernghana.com/news/1180426/approximately-80-of-the-worlds-population-surviv.html | 2022-08-31T14:22:07Z | https://www.modernghana.com/news/1180426/approximately-80-of-the-worlds-population-surviv.html | false | 1 |
Voters in one county vote to opt in to Mississippi medical marijuana program
Published 5:30 am Wednesday, August 31, 2022
Voters in one Mississippi county voted to allow medical marijuana dispensaries and other facilities in a special election Tuesday.
The election in Lincoln County only had one issue on the ballot — referencing the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act SB2095 — and only two options, “for” or “against” the “cultivation, processing, sale and/or distribution of medical cannabis in Lincoln County.”
Lincoln County voters cast 1,387 (53.5 percent) for the measure and 1,203 (46.5 percent) against the measure.
In March, the Lincoln County supervisors opted out of allowing any medical marijuana cultivation, transportation, processing or sale. Voters in communities that opted out can trigger a special election by gathering signatures by petition from either 1,500 registered voters or 20 percent of the population.
In November 2020, Mississippi voters overwhelmingly passed Initiative 65, agreeing to a state medical marijuana program. | https://m.magnoliastatelive.com/2022/08/31/voters-in-one-county-vote-to-opt-in-to-mississippi-medical-marijuana-program/ | 2022-08-31T14:22:14Z | https://m.magnoliastatelive.com/2022/08/31/voters-in-one-county-vote-to-opt-in-to-mississippi-medical-marijuana-program/ | true | null |

Drone intrusions along India-Pak border have risen in 2022: BSF data
According to data compiled by the Border Security Force (BSF), which guards the International Border (IB) with Pakistan, there were 97 drone sightings in all of 2021, which have gone up to 107 in first seven months this year
Drone intrusions at the India-Pakistan border have almost doubled this year with Pakistan based terror groups and smugglers intensifying their efforts to send weapons, explosives and drugs using these vehicles.
According to data compiled by the Border Security Force (BSF), which guards the International Border (IB) with Pakistan, there were 97 drone sightings in all of 2021, which have gone up to 107 in first seven months this year.
The majority of drone intrusions have been reported from Punjab, where 93 drones were seen crossing between January 1 and July 31 this year, followed by 14 in Jammu (at the international border).
In comparison, there were only 64 drone intrusions observed at the IB in Punjab and 31 in Jammu during 2021. Two drones were seen entering from the Line of Control (LOC) in Jammu last year while there has been no drone sighting there thus far this year.
“There are still five months left in this year and activity to smuggle arms and explosives through various routes usually increase towards winters. Also, these are just those drones which our jawans could hear or notice or locals informed us about. It is very difficult to intercept, stall and deactivate all the drones at such a vast border,” said a BSF officer, who didn’t want to be named.
The drones drop weapons such as rifles, pistols, military grade explosive RDX, detonators, grenades, assembled and semi-assembled improvised explosive devices (IEDs) such as tiffin (lunch-box) bombs and sticky bombs, drugs, and fake currency.
A senior counter-terrorism official, requesting anonymity, said “terror outfits such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its offshoot in Jammu and Kashmir The Resistance Front (TRF), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) as well as Khalistani outfits backed by Pakistani spy agency ISI are continuously using Chinese drones to send payloads via Amritsar, Jalandhar, Gurdaspur in Punjab and Kathua, R S Pura and Kanachak areas in Jammu”.
Some of these weapons and IEDs sent via drones have, in fact, been used in terror attacks in Ludhiana, Kashmir and other areas in last two years. For instance, the TRF carried out a twin-drone attack at Jammu Air Force Station, in which two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) travelled from across the border and dropped two 3 kg to 5 kg improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at the air facility, damaging a portion of the building. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is currently investigating the case, apart from half a dozen other cases pertaining to use of drones for dropping explosives in Punjab and Jammu.
BSF has tried to bring down some of the drones or traced their destinations with the help of local police. The border force has also deployed several technologies including ‘Anti-Drone Guns’, which use jammers to block the GPS and radio links of the drones, forcing them to land.
It also fires at the low flying drones and has been successful in taking down six drones this year in Ferozepur, Amritsar and Abohar areas of Punjab till July 15 this year. Last year, the BSF shot down two drones.
However, the BSF officer cited above said, “We don’t have fool-proof solution to drone intrusions. We are working with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD) and private companies to have modern technologies to deal with the threat of drones.”
Experts say that drones are being used by Pakistan based groups to avoid capture of men and reduce costs.
Shreya Upadhyay, a strategic affairs expert and assistant professor at Christ University, Bengaluru, said : “The drones are becoming an alternative to physical infiltration of terrorists and mules; they are easy to operate as well, from a covered area or building across the border. Steps need to be taken for the indigenization of drone sensors and platforms.”
Sameer Patil, a Mumbai based internal security expert, said : “The increase in drone sightings suggests that Pakistan based saboteurs have found the usage of drones as a cost-effective means to smuggle contraband, notwithstanding several interdictions. It also denotes that they have successfully leveraged the gaps in border surveillance.” | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/drone-intrusions-along-india-pak-border-have-risen-in-2022-bsfdata-101661918247466-amp.html | 2022-08-31T14:28:23Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/drone-intrusions-along-india-pak-border-have-risen-in-2022-bsfdata-101661918247466-amp.html | false | 2 |
New research from The+Hartford, a leading provider of employee benefits and absence management, found 40% of U.S. workers reported inflation will make them scale back on the employee benefits they choose during open enrollment. In addition, 48% of U.S. workers said inflation is making it difficult for them to pay for their benefits.
“With our current economic environment, it is an ideal time for workers to take stock of what benefits they currently have rather than automatically rolling over the same benefits they chose in previous years,” said Dana MacKinnon, head of relationship management strategy and enrollment for Group Benefits at The Hartford. “I encourage workers to take extra time this year to reflect on what changes have occurred in their life and select the benefits that best fit their individual needs and budget to help protect their finances in the long-run.”
Younger workers were more likely to report they would cut back on benefits compared to older peers. More than half of the workers ages 18-34 (51%) reported they are likely to scale back on their benefits compared to those ages 35-54 (41%) and those ages 55+ (25%).

While many workers noted they will select fewer benefits this year, The Hartford’s August 2022 Future of Benefits Pulse Survey found more than half (55%) of workers admitted at their age, they should know more about their employee benefits beyond medical, dental and vision than they currently do. The research indicates that clearer communications could help, with 37% of workers saying the names and descriptions of their employee benefits make them hard to understand.
According to the national survey, many workers automatically make the same benefits choices as the previous year, which is the most common approach among working Americans when selecting benefits:
- 30% of U.S. workers are “rollers,” typically rolling over the same benefits choices they made the previous year;
- 28% of workers are “planners,” keeping up to date on benefits throughout the year so they are prepared at enrollment time;
- 22% of workers are “analyzers,” analyzing the coverage and crunching the numbers for all of their benefits choices;
- 12% of workers are “consulters,” typically needing to consult with someone else before making their benefits selections; and
- 8% of workers are “avoiders,” tending to ignore all the open enrollment emails and would prefer not to think about their benefits.
To help U.S. workers fully understand their benefits options and make informed decisions to protect themselves and their families, employers can:
- Communicate all year long about benefits so they are better prepared at decision time. Many workers (39%) indicated they typically enroll in benefits as soon as the open enrollment window opens;
- Offer a variety of tools to reach their workforce such as emails, webinars, one-on-one support from benefits counselors, educational+videos, interactive+decision+support+tools and even social media. Forty-eight percent of U.S. workers have used social media platforms to learn about benefits, with YouTube and Facebook being the most common platforms used;
- Use clear language and personalized messaging to demonstrate how the insurance products relate to their lifestyle rather than simply listing what benefits are being offered; and
- Highlight the services that may come with the insurance coverage such as an employee assistance program (EAP) or will preparation services.
The survey showed that many workers (39%) said their overall health has improved thanks to the benefits and services offered by their company. As a leading provider of employee benefits products and services, including leave management, group life and disability insurance, as well as other voluntary products, The Hartford is committed to helping employers support the overall wellness of their workforce.
Methodology
A national omnibus online survey was conducted in the U.S. among approximately 900 full-time and part-time employed adults aged 18+. The research was conducted July 26-28, 2022. The margin of error is +/- 3% at a 95% confidence level.

BOSTON (AP) — The Democratic race for Massachusetts attorney general dwindled to just two candidates Tuesday when Quentin Palfrey officially suspended his campaign and endorsed Andrea Campbell, who will face off against fellow Democrat Shannon Liss-Riordan in next Tuesday's primary election.
Palfrey, a former assistant attorney general and 2018 Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, said Campbell — a former Boston city councilor who ran unsuccessfully for mayor last year — will continue the legacy of Attorney General Maura Healey and be "a fighter for justice for all."
Healey is running for governor in the Democratic primary, leaving an open race for attorney general. Her only opponent dropped out of the campaign, virtually assuring her the nomination. Healey has endorsed Campbell, as have four prior state attorneys general, U.S. Sen. Edward Markey and U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley.
"I am confident that Andrea has the experience to succeed on day one," Palfrey said in a statement. "I know she will be an AG who shows up, listens to our community, and does everything she can to protect and advocate for the people of Massachusetts."
If elected in November, Campbell would be the first Black woman to hold the office in Massachusetts.
Liss-Riordan, a workers' rights attorney, has the endorsement of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and former acting Boston Mayor Kim Janey.
Whoever wins will face off against Republican Jay McMahon, a trial attorney, in the November election. | http://homenewshere.com/news/state/article_eba1f26e-2930-11ed-91ec-43a90cff5f54.html | 2022-08-31T14:32:34Z | http://homenewshere.com/news/state/article_eba1f26e-2930-11ed-91ec-43a90cff5f54.html | true | 19 |

Distractions and disruptions have a price: only 49 percent of Flagler County’s 10th graders last school year were reading English at grade level, the lowest proportion in over a decade and a decline from 53 percent in 2021. Flagler’s 10th grade reading scores have declined every year since 2018, when 55 percent of students scored at grade level or better. Students were not tested in 2020. In 2019, 54 percent of students had scored at grade level.
The decline in 2022 was especially steep at Flagler Palm Coast High School, which recorded its lowest score by far in 11 years. FPC’s results were offset somewhat by improvement at Matanzas High School. One brighter spot: 61 percent of the 28 tenth graders at iFlagler, the district’s virtual option, scored at grade level or better, a small contradiction of the common notion that in-person instruction is necessarily superior to virtual instruction.
The low scores are not without context.
Although schools were back in session exclusively in person but for iFlagler, the first part of the school year was significantly impacted by a surge in covid cases among students and faculty, resulting in widespread absenteeism. The state Department of Education forbade districts from instituting effective safety mesures such as masking, off-campus options or on-site rapid testing, though the local health department offered the latter for free. The absence of mandated safety measures exacerbated absenteeism and likely affected students’ performances.
The district experienced chronic staff shortages and retirements. And for well over a year, the school board has been disproportionately focused on ideological rather than academic issues, seeking to ban books, punish student and teacher expression, hurting morale, and in one case, going so far as to target a reading text for elimination because it contained an admiring reference to Black Lives Matter. One school board member filed a criminal complaint against the superintendent and machinated against a teacher until she was fired, another maneuvered to fire the school board attorney. Faculty were were as likely to look over their shoulders as at their lesson plans.
The school board itself often devolved into embarrassing displays of acrimony and dysfunction amplified by agitated and agitating audiences at evening meetings. The two board members who were overwhelmingly the source of distractions and controversies, Jill Woolbright and Janet McDonald, will be off the board by November (Woolbright lost a re-election bid, McDonald lost a bid for a county commission seat.) Classrooms could only be insulated so much from that broader context.
Last year, 54 percent of Flagler Palm Coast High School’s 10th graders scored a 3 or better, out of 586 students who took the written test, which consisted of two 90-minute sessions. Of those, 34 percent scored a 4 or a 5, and 25 percent were at level 1, meaning that they were “highly likely to need substantial support for the next grade.”
At Matanzas, exactly half the 379 students who took the test passed with a level 3 or better, 28 percent of whom scored a 4 or a 5, and 26 percent were at level 1.
Level 5 is mastery, level 4 is proficiency (“likely to excel in the next grade/course”), level 3 is satisfactory (“may need additional support for the next grade/course”) levels 2 and 1 are below satisfactory and inadequate.
This year, 45 percent of the 607 tenth graders at FPC who took the test passed with 3 or better, with 25 percent scoring at level 4 or 5, and 28 percent scoring at level 1. At Matanzas, 53 percent of the 357 students who took the test passed with 3 or better, including 32 percent at level 4 or 5, and 20 percent at level 1.
Flagler’s overall passing rate matches that of the state and places it tied with two other counties in 24th place out of 67 counties. neighboring St. Johns County, consistently the highest performing county in the state, recorded a passing rate of 71. No other county came close. Only two were in the 60s: Liberty at 64, Walton at 62. Volusia was at 46, Putnam at 35.
The test was part of the Florida Standards Assessment, which required that 10th graders pass their English assessment to earn a diploma. The FSA is being phased out for the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking, which is based on progress monitoring. | https://flaglerlive.com/180273/flagler-reading-scores/ | 2022-08-31T14:40:07Z | https://flaglerlive.com/180273/flagler-reading-scores/ | false | 1 |
State of Tennessee Increases 9-1-1 Resiliency with FirstNet as Wireless Backup for AT&T ESInet™
DALLAS, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- What's the news? FirstNet®, Built with AT&T covers more first responders than any network in the country. And as America's public safety wireless communications provider, AT&T* is furthering their critical communications by expanding 5G on FirstNet, boosting dedicated in-building connectivity and enhancing 9-1-1 resiliency across Tennessee with FirstNet as a wireless backup.
Expanding 5G on FirstNet, the only network built with and for the nation's first responders: Now, public safety in more than 40 cities – including Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Minneapolis, Nashville, Phoenix, Seattle and St. Louis – can access AT&T mid-band 5G+ spectrum to get the early benefits of its ultra-fast connectivity in a way that meets their unique mission needs. That means first responders in about 100 markets across the country have access to at least 1 of the 3 flavors of 5G (using low-, mid- and high-band spectrum) we're delivering on FirstNet. Learn more about 5G on FirstNet here.
Boosting dedicated in-building connectivity where public safety needs it most: Following the network investment from the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority), qualified first responder agencies on FirstNet can now get Cell Booster Pros for use in areas where they've previously experienced connectivity challenges – all at no cost to them. It's just one more way our unprecedented public-private partnership is strengthening public safety's command and control of their network.
The Cell Booster Pro is an enterprise-grade mini cell site that provides reliable connectivity for public safety on FirstNet, as well as employees and visitors on the AT&T commercial network. The Cell Booster Pro transmits public safety's high-quality Band 14 spectrum as well as AT&T commercial LTE. With the ability to mesh 3 of these mini cell sites within a building, agencies can increase coverage by up to 45,000 square feet, supporting nearly 200 users. Thousands of devices are available to first responder agencies across the country – all at no additional cost to them.
Enhancing 9-1-1 resiliency across Tennessee: We are also uniquely positioned to equip 9-1-1 call centers, or public safety answering points (PSAPs), and first responders with an integrated infrastructure that allows them to be more flexible, resilient and agile. That's why we integrated AT&T ESInet with the FirstNet network to extend network connectivity to remote PSAPs that are either hard to reach or experiencing an outage. And the State of Tennessee is leading the country in deploying this innovative solution at every PSAP across the state. This further protects the nearly 7 million people who call the Volunteer State home.
Interoperability with FirstNet enables redundancy, resiliency and agility with AT&T ESInet so that PSAPs can focus on keeping their communities safe. If AT&T ESInet detects a disruption to the primary connection of a 9-1-1 call center, it will automatically route 9-1-1 calls over the FirstNet network to a remote PSAP. This integration strengthens PSAPs to maintain operations and creates a path for future Next Generation 9-1-1 technologies, including videos and images. These technologies allow PSAPs to coordinate with first responders more efficiently, improve situational awareness and reduce response times.
Why is this important? AT&T is the only carrier that can provide end-to-end emergency communication solutions, from 9-1-1 to dispatch to response. And as public safety's partner, it's about where first responders need connectivity. Emergencies are unpredictable and during these critical moments, the public safety community needs reliable, interoperable communications. Today, more than 21,800 agencies and organizations – accounting for 3.7 million connections1 – use FirstNet to stay mission-ready. We've seen significant growth in FirstNet because the public safety community recognizes commercial networks aren't designed to properly handle the specific and niche demands of first responders. And commercial networks are not subject to the rigorous level of oversight and accountability by the federal government. That's why public safety has FirstNet.

What people are saying:
Jason Porter
President, Public Sector and FirstNet, AT&T
"Our commitment to first responders is unparalleled. By delivering 5G on FirstNet in this unique way, public safety is getting a head start on the future of connectivity, without compromising on the reliability they require for their critical communications. And with first responder agencies now able to put their network in buildings where they need it most, we're equipping first responders with a network that's second-to-none today and for decades to come."
Lisa Casias
Acting CEO, First Responder Network Authority
"The FirstNet Authority's investments in the network are guided by the needs of public safety. This unique process is a testament to FirstNet truly being built for and by public safety. We are pleased to work alongside public safety to bring them the tools needed to keep our communities safe."
Curtis Sutton
Executive Director, Tennessee Emergency Communications Board
"We understand that we play a vital role in providing a link to members of our community and first responders. We took key lessons learned following the emergency events in December 2020 and worked with AT&T and other agencies to design a solution to increase our reliability and resiliency. In addition to creating redundancies through traditional connections with AT&T ESInet, we are implementing a wireless connection with FirstNet, which gives us an even more robust dependability than we could have imagined."
1 As of Q2 2022
We help more than 100 million U.S. families, friends and neighbors connect in meaningful ways every day.

1) Interim President: brutal killing of four West Papuans is a reminder of the reality of Indonesian colonialism
August 30, 2022 in Statement
It is heartbreaking to hear that four indigenous Papuan civilians have been killed and mutilated by Indonesian special forces. The names of the dead are Arnold Lokmbere, Irian Nirigi, Lemanion Nirigi, and Atis Tini.
This brutal killing must be seen for what it is: state sponsored terrorism. My people have always rejected Jakarta’s impositions, from the ‘Act of No Choice’ in 1969 to the so-called ‘Special Autonomy’ that rules over us today. Indonesiaknows West Papuans will never accept their colonial rule. Instead, they must enforce it at the barrel of a gun.
These killings, which happened in Timika regency, in West Papua’s highlands, expose the racism at the heart of Indonesian rule. After shooting the four men, soldiers cut off their heads and legs, stuffed them in sacks, and dumped them in a village river. How can people be seen as human if they are treated in this way? Indonesia views us as primitive, as ‘monkeys’. They have always wanted to get us ‘down from the trees’.
This is not the first time our rivers have been used as our tombs. In 2020, Pastor Yeremia, Zanambani, a beloved religious leader in the Intan Jaya regency, was tortured and killed by the Indonesian military. Following this, soldiers killed two of Pastor Zanambani’s family members, burning their bodies and throwing the ashes into a river to hide the evidence. Since 2019, we have seen more and more examples of Indonesia’s systematic brutality in West Papua. We have seen Papuan students murdered by Indonesian death squads, babies shot and killed, civilians in Nduga executed in military-style operations. The history of Indonesian rule in West Papua is written in the blood of my people.
Though Indonesian police has arrested six special forces operatives responsible for this crime, we know from the death of Theys Eluay that soldiers charged with extrajudicial killing regularly receive light sentences – and are often welcomed as heroes by their military superiors. In Indonesia, peacefully raising the Morning Star flag is a worse crime than murdering indigenous West Papuans in cold blood.
Even if the individuals responsible for these killings are properly punished, the murder of West Papuans will not end until Indonesia’s occupation does. Indonesia must finally stop this bloodshed by withdrawing their troops from West Papua. Stop bombing villages, stop burning and occupying churches and hospitals, stop firing on us for demanding self-determination. Stop your illegal war in West Papua. Since their occupation began, 500,000 of my people have been killed. When will the world say ‘enough’?
As the Interim President of the ULMWP Provisional Government I issue the following peaceful demands, in order for justice to be done for these four men and their families:
- Indonesia must release all political prisoners, including the eight students who have been held since December 2021 for peacefully demonstrating on our national day.
- Indonesia must allow journalists to operate in West Papua.
- Indonesia must stop the delaying tactics and honour their promise to allow the UN High Commissioner to visit West Papua. Indonesia has both a moral obligation and an obligation as a UN member state to allow the High
- Commissioner to investigate their crimes against my people. This is not just my demand: it is the demand of over 80 states, including the members of the Pacific Islands Forum, the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States, and the EU Commission.
- Finally, Indonesia must allow us to fulfil our right to self-determination and grant West Papua an internationally-monitored Independence Referendum. This is the only true path to a peaceful resolution.
Asia Pacific Report newsdesk
The United Liberation Movement of West Papua has condemned the brutal killing and mutilation of four indigenous West Papuans last week, saying it was a “a reminder of Indonesian colonialism”, as authorities announced the arrest of six special forces suspects.
News agency reports said Indonesian security forces had arrested the six elite troopers who had been accused of involvement in the killing of four Papuans and beheading them.
An Australian newspaper report said the accused’s military unit had a link with the Australian Defence Force.

“We are committed to upholding the law in this case,” Papua military chief Major-General Teguh Muji Angkasa told reporters in Jayapura, the capital of Papua province.
“If any of our soldiers are involved in criminal acts, we will not tolerate it.”
Residents of Iwaka village in Mimika district were shocked on Friday by the discovery of four sacks, each containing a headless and legless torso, in the village river.
Two other sacks were found separately, one containing four heads and the other eight legs. The sacks were weighted with stones.
‘Heartbreaking’ reports
In a statement, ULMWP interim president Benny Wenda said it was “heartbreaking” to hear that the four Papuans had been killed and mutilated by Indonesian special forces. The four were named as Arnold Lokmbere, Irian Nirigi, Lemanion Nirigi, and Atis Tini.
“This brutal killing must be seen for what it is: state sponsored terrorism,” he said.
“My people have always rejected Jakarta’s impositions, from the “Act of No Choice” in 1969 to the so-called “Special Autonomy” that rules over us today.
“Indonesia knows West Papuans will never accept their colonial rule. Instead, they must enforce it at the barrel of a gun.
Wenda said the killings, which had happened in Timika regency, in West Papua’s highlands, exposed the racism at the
heart of Indonesian rule.
“After shooting the four men, soldiers cut off their heads and legs, stuffed them in sacks, and dumped them in a village river.
“How can people be seen as human if they are treated in this way? Indonesia views us as ‘primitive’, as ‘monkeys’. They have always wanted to get us ‘down from the trees’.
Rivers uses as ‘tombs’
Wenda said this was not the first time “our rivers have been used as our tombs”.
In 2020, Pastor Yeremia Zanambani in the Intan Jaya regency was tortured and killed by the Indonesian military.
Following this, soldiers killed two of Pastor Zanambani’s family members, burning their bodies and throwing the ashes into a river to hide the evidence.
Since 2019, there had been frequent examples of Indonesia’s “systematic brutality in West Papua”.
‘We have seen Papuan students murdered by Indonesian death squads, babies shot and killed, civilians in Nduga executed in military-style operations,” Wenda said.
“The history of Indonesian rule in West Papua is written in the blood of my people.”
Wenda said that although Indonesian police had arrested six special forces suspected of being responsible for the crime, “we know from the death of Theys Eluay that soldiers charged with extrajudicial killing regularly receive light sentences – and are often welcomed as heroes by their military superiors”.
“In Indonesia, peacefully raising the Morning Star flag is a worse crime than murdering indigenous West Papuans in cold blood.”
Justice call
Wenda called for justice to be done for these four slain men and their families. He declared the following demands:
- Indonesia must release all political prisoners, including the eight students who have been held since December 2021 for peacefully demonstrating on our national day;
- Indonesia must allow journalists to operate in West Papua;
- Indonesia must stop the delaying tactics and honour their promise to allow the UN High Commissioner to visit West Papua, as also demanded by the Pacific Islands Forum, the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States, and the EU Commission; and
- Indonesia must allow our right to self-determination and grant West Papua an internationally-monitored Independence Referendum.

Angelo Di Livio says no to Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival in Napoli
Credits Photo by Icon sport
Former Juventus player Angelo Di Livio has spoken out on the hot topic of the transfer window in Italy, including the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in Naples. For the 56-year-old, that’s totally a bad idea.
Angelo Di Livio appeared on Soccer Total on Rai Due. The former Roma player does not validate the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo. He thinks Napoli can win the Scudetto well by retaining Victor Osimhen. He is therefore against a probable departure of the Nigerian striker to Manchester United.
“Naples have a great chance of winning the Scudetto, they had a great transfer campaign. I would think of selling Osimhen next year, I would keep him in Naples and I say no to Ronaldo because he has the chance to reach the title. | https://d1softballnews.com/angelo-di-livio-says-no-to-cristiano-ronaldos-arrival-in-napoli/ | 2022-08-31T14:47:02Z | https://d1softballnews.com/angelo-di-livio-says-no-to-cristiano-ronaldos-arrival-in-napoli/ | true | null |
Fans are all saying the same about Todd Boehly after Brighton chief claims Chelsea owner is ‘tough’ transfer negotiator
BRIGHTON CEO Paul Barber was full of praise for Chelsea owner Todd Boehly's negotiating skills - but fans aren't convinced.
The Seagulls chief and Boehly thrashed out a £62million deal for left-back Marc Cucurella earlier this month.
American businessman Boehly has not been afraid to get his chequebook out while acting as transfer chief following the departure of Marina Granovskaia.
A spree of over £230m has seen the Blues sign Wesley Fofana, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Carney Chukwuemeka, Gabriel Slonina and Cucurella.
Boehly is also trying to wrap up a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of tomorrow's transfer deadline.
And despite being new to the world of football, Barber described Boehly as a no-nonsense, but "respectful" negotiator.

Fofana ANNOUNCED, Neymar 'offered' to Blues, £77m Gvardiol deal
On the Cucurella deal, Barber told talkSPORT: "Todd was very respectful, tough. This wasn't an easy negotiation it went over quite a period of time.
"I certainly didn't get any impression that this was something they'd do at any cost. It was something that they were prepared to do but Todd negotiated very hard."
He added: "Todd's a very successful individual who clearly has done very well in other business and clearly has done well in other businesses through lots of negotiations.
"So although this was potentially a new area for him, and dealing with football players in the Premier League [was] completely new obviously, he was very tough.

"And he certainly did not make it easy for us to get the deal done, and I respect him for that."
Fans though joked that Barber only praised Boehly because the American forked out a whopping £62m for Cucurella - Brighton's record sale - and claimed the American has been paying over the odds all summer.
One wrote on social media: "£63m after one season in the prem yeah of course you like him you fleeced him."
Another quipped: "Barber taking the mick out of him. Wants to respect him so he can pay him similarly over the odds next time."
While third added: "And still got 60m for him, wouldn’t want Todd to see my advert for my Flymo, would end up paying him to take it away!"
Manchester United legend Gary Neville criticised Boehly earlier this month, claiming he was treating Chelsea "like he wants to play Football Manager".
A hectic summer has seen multiple players come and go, while on the pitch the Blues have stuttered to just two wins from five games. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9386583/chelsea-todd-boehly-tough-negotiator-transfers/ | 2022-08-31T14:49:08Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9386583/chelsea-todd-boehly-tough-negotiator-transfers/ | true | 4 |

Double the Impact in 2022 with Two Winners of the Play It Forward Giveaway
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dormie Network, a collection of private destination golf clubs, is pleased to announce two winners of the second annual Play It Forward giveaway: Make-A-Wish Foundation and Sisters Across America.
The giveaway, presented in partnership with leading golf event management and fundraising platform GolfStatus, celebrates those who are golfing for good. Entrants were asked to nominate a golf tournament fundraiser for a $10K donation, and were entered to win their own one-year private golf membership and $10K to spend onsite.
The Pro-Am for Wishes at Penn Oaks Golf Club, held on August 15, 2022, benefits Make-A-Wish, Philadelphia, Delaware, and Susquehanna Valley, in support of life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Since the chapter's founding in 1986, more than 7,500 wishes have been granted for children in the local community, helping them build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness.
Sisters Across America provides support and mentoring for young minority women pursuing professional golfing careers, raising money through two annual golf fundraisers. Current mentee Lakareber Abe, a 26-year-old alum of the University of Alabama, recently qualified to play in her first LPGA event. Sisters Across America's support helps remove the mentees' concerns for financial viability and allows them to focus on improving their game. The group also teaches juniors, to further expand access to the game.
Cassandra Doty, co-founder and President of Sisters Across America, notes that the concept was developed on the golf course with a group of friends, who had all taken up the game later in life. "We wanted to support the next era of young players, and because tomorrow is a promise to no one, we decided to start right then," she said.
The Play It Forward giveaway is part of Dormie Network and the Dormie Network Foundation's commitment to supporting organizations in its four giving pillars of youth golf, environmental initiatives, military / first responder organizations, and healthcare / humanitarian efforts.

US clears updated COVID boosters targeting newest variants
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. on Wednesday authorized its first update to COVID-19 vaccines, booster doses that target today’s most common omicron strain. Shots could begin within days.
The move by the Food and Drug Administration tweaks the recipe of shots made by Pfizer and rival Moderna that already have saved millions of lives. The hope is that the modified boosters will blunt yet another winter surge.
“You’ll see me at the front of the line,” FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks told The Associated Press shortly before his agency cleared the new doses.
Until now, COVID-19 vaccines have targeted the original coronavirus strain, even as wildly different mutants emerged. The new U.S. boosters are combination, or “bivalent,” shots. They contain half that original vaccine recipe and half protection against the newest omicron versions, called BA.4 and BA.5, that are considered the most contagious yet.
The combination aims to increase cross-protection against multiple variants.
“It really provides the broadest opportunity for protection,” Pfizer vaccine chief Annaliesa Anderson told the AP.
The updated boosters are only for people who have already had their primary vaccinations, using the original vaccines. Doses made by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech are for anyone 12 and older while Moderna’s updated shots are for adults — if it has been at least two months since their last primary vaccination or their latest booster. They’re not to be used for initial vaccinations.
There’s one more step before a fall booster campaign begins: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must recommend who should get the additional shot. An influential CDC advisory panel will debate the evidence Thursday — including whether people at high risk from COVID-19 should go first.
“As we head into fall and begin to spend more time indoors, we strongly encourage anyone who is eligible to consider receiving a booster dose with a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine to provide better protection against currently circulating variants,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said in a statement.
The U.S. has purchased more than 170 million doses from the two companies. Pfizer said it could ship up to 15 million of those doses by the end of next week.
The big question is whether people weary of vaccinations will roll up their sleeves again. Just half of vaccinated Americans got the first recommended booster dose, and only a third of those 50 and older who were urged to get a second booster did so.
It’s time for U.S. authorities to better explain that the public should expect an updated COVID-19 vaccination every so often, just like getting a fall flu shot or a tetanus booster after stepping on a rusty nail, said University of Pennsylvania immunologist E. John Wherry.
“We need to rebrand it in a societally normal-looking way,” rather than a panicked response to new mutants, Wherry said. “Give a clear, forward-looking set of expectations.”
Here’s the rub: The original vaccines still offer strong protection against severe disease and death from COVID-19 for most generally healthy people, especially if they got that important first booster dose. It’s not clear just how much more benefit an updated booster will bring — beyond a temporary jump in antibodies capable of fending off an omicron infection.
One reason: The FDA cleared the modifications ahead of studies in people, a step toward eventually handling COVID-19 vaccine updates more like yearly flu shots.
First, FDA checked human studies of earlier Pfizer and Moderna attempts to update their vaccines — shots matching the omicron strain that struck last winter. That recipe change was safe, and substantially boosted antibodies targeting the earlier variant — better than another dose of the original vaccine — while adding a little protection against today’s genetically distinct BA.4 and BA.5 omicron versions.
But FDA ordered the companies to brew even more up-to-date doses that target those newest omicron mutants instead, sparking a race to roll out shots in less than three months. Rather than waiting a few more months for additional human studies of that recipe tweak, Marks said animal tests showed the latest update spurs “a very good immune response.”
The hope, he said, is that a vaccine matched to currently spreading variants might do a better job fighting infection, not just serious illness, at least for a while.
What’s next? Even as modified shots roll out, Moderna and Pfizer are conducting human studies to help assess their value, including how they hold up if a new mutant comes along.
And for children, Pfizer plans to ask FDA to allow updated boosters for 5- to 11-year-olds in early October.
It’s the first U.S. update to the COVID-19 vaccine recipe, an important but expected next step -- like how flu vaccines get updated every year.
And the U.S. isn’t alone. Britain recently decided to offer adults over 50 a different booster option from Moderna, a combo shot targeting that initial BA.1 omicron strain. European regulators are considering whether to authorize one or both of the updated formulas.

“The sun does not always shine in West Virginia, but the people always do,” President John F. Kennedy once said.
That quote was true on Tuesday during the opening of the new GreenPower Motor Company manufacturing facility in South Charleston. Despite the downpour of rain, several community members were in attendance, as well as local and state stakeholders.
GreenPower, a leading manufacturer and distributor of zero-emission, electric-powered, medium and heavy-duty vehicles, such as its Type D BEAST and Type A Nano BEAST school buses, cut the ribbon at its new manufacturing facility, which is home to the company’s school bus manufacturing operations east of the Mississippi River. The 80,000-square-foot facility expands on GreenPower’s current manufacturing footprint.
The new facility in South Charleston, which will begin operations in September, provides the capability to manufacture 150 electric school buses per quarter by next year.
“Today marks a significant milestone for GreenPower as we continue to live the vision of advancing the adoption of purpose-built, zero-emission school buses. Through this new facility we will be able to exponentially increase our production to meet the increased demand for all-electric school buses,” stated Brendan Riley, president and director at GreenPower, citing recent public funding from both the state and federal levels and state climate change regulations as sources of the increased demand. “The work we’re doing in South Charleston is a testament to GreenPower’s mission and allows us to be well-positioned as the leader nationwide in the transition to clean, electric and safer transportation.”
In addition to Riley, the event featured several West Virginia leaders, who spoke on the importance and timeline of the plant opening. From its concept, the manufacturing plant took 13 months to complete.
- South Charleston Mayor Frank Mullens
- West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice
- Dan Utech, chief of staff to EPA Administrator Michael Regan
- Deputy State Superintendent of Schools Dr. Sara Lewis-Stankus
- Lt. Gov. and West Virginia State Senate President Craig Blair
- Speaker of the West Virginia House of Delegates Roger Hanshaw
- West Virginia State Delegate Christopher Toney
- Kanawha County Commissioner Ben Salango
- Mitch Carmichael, West Virginia secretary of economic development
- Lucia Valentine, state coordinator for Moms Clean Air Force
The main takeaways of the event highlighted how the facility brings more jobs to the state. A press release said the new plant is expected to bring 200 new clean-energy jobs to the area, and up to 900 when it reaches full production.
“We have been incredibly excited to see GreenPower make its new home in West Virginia,” Hanshaw said. “Not only did they quickly contribute to the community and get to work right away on a training program to hire qualified local employees, but they also demonstrate to the rest of America and the rest of the world that West Virginia has a 21st-century economy, and we are open to all business endeavors.”

Salango noted that instead of just making the vehicles in West Virginia, GreenPower also wants to keep some of the vehicles in the state for students to benefit from as they travel to and from school.
“Today marks a milestone for GreenPower, but it also marks a major milestone for West Virginia as well,” Gov. Justice said. “Since I took office, we’ve focused on transforming West Virginia’s image. Part of the way we’re doing that is by embracing all the new technologies that are at our fingertips, and GreenPower opening their manufacturing facility in West Virginia is yet another exciting project that will help us move our state forward and change our image. As we continue to diversify our economy, manufacturing zero-emission school buses in West Virginia will open up a world of opportunities for our state. Not only will it bring hundreds of great paying jobs to the Kanawha Valley, but the ripple effects on our state’s economy will be massive. I can’t thank them enough for their commitment to our state and for believing that West Virginia is the best place to do business.”
Also this year, Justice signed into law HB 4571, which increased the state’s School Foundation Allowance by 10 percent for using an electric school bus and an additional 5 percent for the portion of buses manufactured in West Virginia.
“I drive for Raleigh County Schools and the county traveled more than a million miles last year, getting our local kids to and from school and sporting events, and as a bus operator myself, I think it’s just incredible to see high-quality, efficient and safe buses being made right here in the Mountain State,” Toney said at the event.
The event concluded with a ribbon cutting by Riley and Mayor Mullens. | https://stnonline.com/news/greenpower-cuts-ribbon-on-west-virginia-electric-school-bus-manufacturing-plant/ | 2022-08-31T14:57:29Z | https://stnonline.com/news/greenpower-cuts-ribbon-on-west-virginia-electric-school-bus-manufacturing-plant/ | false | 1 |

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said the club will not sign more players before Thursday's transfer deadline following the completion of the discussions to sign Antony and Martin Dubravka, while he expects Cristiano Ronaldo to stay.
United reached an agreement with Ajax Amsterdam on Tuesday to sign Brazil winger Antony, with British media reporting the transfer to be worth an initial 80.75 million pounds ($93.78 million), with a further 4.25 million pounds in add-ons.
The club is also hoping to sign Newcastle United goalkeeper Dubravka on loan, with an option to make the deal permanent.
"For this window, it will be the end," Ten Hag told reporters on Wednesday. "You always have to be alert at a top club. But we will go from September to minimum January with this squad.
"In the offensive department, we needed to strengthen the squad. Offensive players fatigue quicker. They have to run more with high intensity."
Ten Hag reiterated his belief that Ronaldo will stay at the club, amid intense speculation over the 37-year-old's future after British media reported the Portugal forward wanted to leave United to play Champions League football.
"It is clear. We need quality players. You need more to cover all the games," Ten Hag said when asked about Ronaldo's future, adding that full back Aaron Wan-Bissaka will also stay after being linked with a move away.
United, 11th in the Premier League standings, face Leicester City away on Thursday and remain without injured striker Anthony Martial, while defender Victor Lindelof will be assessed after he returned to training.
With Antony's signing yet to be completed, the winger may have to target Sunday's clash with Arsenal for his potential debut.
Ten Hag said his team need to maintain the "winning mentality", having won their last two league games after being bottom of the table after losing their first two.
"I see it as a start. I think we have a good base, this is the minimum we have to bring," he said.
"I was happy to see the turn, and we have to keep that, to keep the spirit, to keep this winning mentality because you need it if you want a successful season in this squad."

DraftKings Picks Week 1: Best NFL DFS lineup advice for daily fantasy football tournaments
The 2022 NFL regular season is set to begin on Sept. 8 with the Bills-Rams; however, we have a full slate of games on Sunday afternoon that will provide us with a ton of money-making opportunities in NFL DFS. Week 1 in daily fantasy football contests is always a bit of a crapshoot because some teams are vastly different than they were the previous season and we don't have any stats to lean on. That being said, DFS players will still target stars and value sleepers throughout the league, and we have a mix of those our Week 1 DraftKings tournament lineup picks.

HIBBING — The Hibbing High School boys and girls cross country teams will get their biggest tests of this young season when they take part in the Rock Ridge Invite at the Virginia Golf Course today.
The girls varsity race will begin at 10:50 a.m. then the boys run at 11:30 a.m. The meet begins at 10 a.m. with the junior high races.
For the Bluejacket girls, this is a chance to defend their title from last year.
“I hope that’s something on the back of their minds,” Hibbing coach James Plese said. “Continued improvement is first and foremost at this stage of the season with this being race No. 2
“Other stuff you read says stop comparing 5Ks from week to week unless you’re running the same route or same courses. We’ll twist it into making sure we go and compete.”
This meet gives Hibbing a chance to see what some of the local teams have on their squads.
“We’re looking forward to it,” Plese said. “We want to see Rock Ridge. They will be a boys and girls team that is challenging for us, whether it’s because of Cameron (Stocke) on the boys side, or the Lamppa sisters if they’re running well. They’re formidable.”
Plese will run his standard group of Reese Aune, Miriam Milani, Mileena Sullivan, Gianna Figueroa, Jocelyn Strukel, Jorie Anderson and Abigail Theien.
He will give that lineup a little injection of youth with Avery Kukowski, who won the 3K race in Duluth last week.
Justine Macdannold, Emma Reini, Tara Hertling and Grace Bigelow will get a chance in the 5K.
“Tara is coming off a top-five finish in Duluth,” Plese said. “We’re looking for some momentum to continue there, and we’re looking for some bounce-back races. It’s all about continued improvement.”
Plese hopes that Sullivan is one of the front runners.
“I hope she, Gianna, Jocelyn and Abby will go out with the lead pack and see how they can hang with it,” Plese siad. “Mileena did a good job in Duluth, so we’re looking to continue on with that.”
On the boys side, Hibbing will be challenged by the Wolverines, so Plese will open the floodgates and run more 5K runners than he has in the past.
A total of 18 runners will compete in the 5K race.
“We’ll have a large pack,” Plese said. “Taite (Murden) and Silas (Langner) did a good job of setting the tone last week. Lucas (Arnhold) is still getting into shape. We’ll throw some younger runners in there.
Those runners include Joey Gabardi, Jack Bottoms, Sam Baumgardner, Brady Janezich and Easton Fisher.
“We’ll see where everyone shakes out,” Plese said. “This might be a yo-yo season where we, depending on the course ahead of them, we might put some of the young guys down at their age level to get them to win some races.
“If they can compete at the 5K and push our older guys, we’ll use that as well.”
They will be joined by Mitchell Anderson, Preston Sullivan, Christian Massich, Oliver Stevens, Ethan Aune and Justin Walker.
“Those guys will be expected to step up games,” Plese said. “I’m not going to move guys to give those older guys a varsity spot. It’s up to them to show that there’s not much of a separation, and we can get by with running our young guys down once in a while.
“At the same point and time, we’re excited to see what this group does together in a 5K. We’ve been practicing hard. They’re improving. It’s so early that it’s hard to say what this is going to show us. I’m excited for that. We’ll see what happens.”

Thomas Tuchel believes scrutinising Chelsea’s attacking set-up is the “wrong question” in the wake of Tuesday’s 2-1 defeat at Southampton.
The Blues let a 1-0 lead slip through their fingers at St Mary’s Stadium, for their second defeat in five Premier League games.
Romeo Lavia and Adam Armstrong condemned Chelsea to a chastening defeat, with boss Tuchel later insisting mentality had been the key cause of the loss.
Chelsea will continue to push to bring in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona ahead of Thursday night’s transfer deadline.
The Blues are continuing to remodel their squad under ambitious new owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, with further options to the forward line still being sought.
But Tuchel rejected outright anything regarding the attack holding any influence on the loss at Southampton.
Asked if Chelsea still need a focal point in their attack, Tuchel replied: “This is totally the wrong question to ask now for attack.
It's not a question of striker, no striker or what we have up front. It's the wrong question for me at the momentThomas Tuchel
“It’s defending, the goals have nothing to do with attack.
“We scored, we had chances enough, we can have a clean sheet, we can stay at 1-1.
“It’s not a question of striker, no striker or what we have up front. It’s the wrong question for me at the moment.”
Chelsea were without N’Golo Kante, with Mateo Kovacic still working his way back to full fitness after knee trouble.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek picked up a hamstring issue at Southampton, while Conor Gallagher missed out through suspension.
Midfield might be one of Chelsea’s strengths but Tuchel explained the full extent of the injury concerns.
“I know what squads the other teams have, I know what the schedule is,” said Tuchel. “And on Monday we had 16 players in training.
“I cannot dream about what will happen if we have everyone back, I just have to work with what I have on the training pitch. And this is not a lot at the moment.”
Asked if the summer’s turbulent change of ownership could still be having a lingering effect, Tuchel replied: “Yeah maybe, but we know the line is so thin between excuses and explanations.
“So I better not go down this road, because I don’t want to give anybody any chance, myself, players, staff, any room for excuses.
“We need to find solutions, I think what will help is the closing of the transfer window. Then we will know who has full commitment, what role does everybody need to play, need to fulfil.
“And everybody including myself needs to step up to a new level of performance.
“These are okay performances, not a disaster but it’s okay, but okay can never be enough.”
Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl hailed 18-year-old midfield star Lavia’s immediate Premier League impact.
The teen recruit from Manchester City became the first player born in 2004 to score in England’s top flight, rubber-stamping his fine start to life at Saints.
“He arrived here and immediately showed his quality in training,” said Hasenhuttl.
“We have good arguments for players when we take young players.
“They know this and there’s a reason why they’re coming to us.
“Last year it was Tino (Livramento) who went straight into the team, and this year it is Gavin (Bazunu) and Romeo, and this is the way we want to go.
“But they have to be good. I don’t pick a player unless I think they can deliver what we need. This is the key.
“If they are not good enough they will not play. It’s not about young and old, you have to be good.
“But they are young and good, so this is a good combination.” | https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/thomas-tuchel-insists-chelseas-attack-not-the-reason-for-southampton-defeat-41950479.html | 2022-08-31T15:05:47Z | https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/thomas-tuchel-insists-chelseas-attack-not-the-reason-for-southampton-defeat-41950479.html | true | 13 |
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA will try again Saturday to launch its new moon rocket on a test flight, after engine trouble halted the first countdown this week.
Managers said Tuesday they are changing fueling procedures to deal with the issue. A bad sensor also could be to blame for Monday's scrapped launch, they noted.
The 322-foot (98-meter) rocket — the most powerful ever built by NASA — remains on its pad at Kennedy Space Center with an empty crew capsule on top.
The Space Launch System rocket will attempt to send the capsule around the moon and back. No one will be aboard, just three test dummies. If successful, it will be the first capsule to fly to the moon since NASA’s Apollo program 50 years ago.
Proceeding toward a Saturday launch will provide additional insight, even if the problem reappears and the countdown is halted again, said NASA's rocket program manager, John Honeycutt. That’s better “than us sitting around scratching our heads, was it good enough or not.”
“Based on what I’ve heard from the technical team today, what we need to do is continue to pore over the data and polish up our plan on putting the flight rationale together,” he said.
During Monday's launch attempt, readings showed that one of the four main engines in the rocket's core stage could not be chilled sufficiently prior to the planned ignition at liftoff. It appeared to be as much as 40 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) warmer than the desired minus-420 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-250 degrees Celsius), the temperature of the hydrogen fuel, according to Honeycutt. The three other engines came up just a little short.
All of the engines appear to be fine, according to Honeycutt.
The chilling operation will be conducted a half-hour earlier for Saturday afternoon's launch attempt, once fueling begins that morning. Honeycutt said the timing of this engine chilldown was earlier during successful testing last year, and so performing it sooner may do the trick.
Honeycutt also questioned the integrity of one engine sensor, saying it might have provided inaccurate data Monday. To change that sensor, he noted, would mean hauling the rocket back into the hangar, resulting in weeks of delay.
Already years behind schedule, the $4.1 billion test flight is the opening shot in NASA's Artemis moon-exploration program, named after the twin sister of Apollo in Greek mythology. Astronauts could strap in as soon as 2024 for a lap around the moon and actually attempt a lunar landing in 2025. | https://www.localmemphis.com/article/news/nation-world/nasa-reschedules-artemis-i-launch/507-c6330ca5-f08d-4ce5-9f3b-b0d4b213608b | 2022-08-31T15:06:24Z | https://www.localmemphis.com/article/news/nation-world/nasa-reschedules-artemis-i-launch/507-c6330ca5-f08d-4ce5-9f3b-b0d4b213608b | true | 48 |
Comedian Munawar Faruqui revealed that he has battled suicidal thoughts, and opened up about how he deals with them. He also said that he was triggered after Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide in 2020. Munawar’s mother died by suicide in 2007, he had revealed on a reality show recently.
During his stint on Kangana Ranaut’s Lock Upp, he had opened up about how his mother had taken her life by drinking acid. He had said, “The doctors also told us that my mom had not had anything to eat for eight days. For 22 years of her married life, my mom was not happy. All my life, I saw her being beaten up or saw fights between my parents.”
Speaking to RJ Siddharth Kanan, Munawar talked about experiencing suicidal thoughts and how he fought them, “This body has been given by God. In Islam, many things are ‘haram’ (sin) because they harm your body, like tattoos, cigarette. Ending that body’s existence is considered the biggest sin. And I really feel that about my mother, why did she do this? Such a smart woman, why did she do this knowing it’s a sin? It is said that weak people do this, but last 3-4 years I realised that only very strong people can do this.”
Talking about Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise, Munawar recalled how shaken he was on hearing the news. “2-3 din tak haath kaanp rahe the (my hands were shaking for two-three days). Even today when I hear news like that, or end up joking about it myself, after a minute I just go back there. And I realise what it takes. When these thoughts started coming into my head, the first thing that stopped me was that God doesn’t allow it, and the second is you start seeing faces. When they hear the news what will be their first reaction? Ruk jaa, mat kar (stop, don’t do this).”
Munawar Faruqui won the first season of Lock Upp and released a new song, Khawab, which he also composed. In the song, he talks about the struggles that he has faced in his life, including the loss of his mother, and his arrest last year. | https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/munawar-faruqui-sushant-singh-rajput-death-suicide-8123488/ | 2022-08-31T15:08:14Z | https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/munawar-faruqui-sushant-singh-rajput-death-suicide-8123488/ | true | 1 |

Company Announces Hiring of First Chief Human Resources Officer Following Series B Investment
BOSTON, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- OnCorps Inc. — a Boston-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) startup — today announced the appointment of Fran Lawler as the first Chief Human Resources Officer. Lawler joins the OnCorps leadership team to help further the OnCorps mission: solving operational challenges in the financial service industry through applied AI.
"We are thrilled to have Fran join our team," said OnCorps founder and Chief Executive Officer Bob Suh. Earlier this year, OnCorps closed an $8 million round of funding led by Guggenheim Investments. The firm continues to invest those funds to grow its product and delivery capabilities. "AI is an incredibly challenging discipline. It requires the best and the brightest to deliver industry-leading solutions. Fran is the perfect leader to accelerate team building with only the highest caliber talent."
Lawler will oversee all HR objectives — recruiting, learning and development, company culture, and employee advocacy — by approaching human resources with a company growth mentality. Among her highest priorities is to attract and retain the most talented software engineers and data scientists, some of the most scarce skills in what remains an extremely competitive hiring environment.
"Human Resources has the power to drive operational excellence, starting with the very first interaction with future employees," says Lawler. "It's about seeing every opportunity to support the right work with the right people, and instilling that mindfulness into the company culture. Really, it's about empowerment."
Lawler brings a depth and breadth of experience acquired over 21 years in Human Resource Leadership across various industries. Prior to joining OnCorps, Lawler held HR leadership roles with firms including Corning, Apex Tool, and Stanley Black & Decker. Lawler has previously served as CHRO, once at Medifast, Inc and most recently at Massachusetts-based athenahealth.
Lawler received her B.S. in Systems Engineering from the US Military Academy at West Point, and her M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. Lawler served as an officer in the US Army's Medical Service Corps for six years.
The mission at OnCorps is to elevate work and performance by applying AI to handle predictable and laborious calculations, decisions, and tasks across the financial services industry. OnCorps clients manage over $11 trillion in assets, and have used advanced AI solutions to reduce labor costs by over 90 percent and identify millions in reporting errors. The firm works closely with scientific advisors from Yale, Harvard, and Oxford to formulate and rigorously test new algorithms; results from research on behavioral AI have been published in the Harvard Business Review and other journals. The firm's innovative algorithms have earned OnCorp the 2019 NOVA Award by Nicsa and the 2019 Fintech Breakthrough Award for best banking infrastructure software.

It’s essential to know that Dan Cox — i.e., Republican Delegate Daniel L. Cox, a quintessential right-wing extremist and the GOP’s nominee to be governor of Maryland—is endorsed by Donald Trump and proud of it.
And it’s also important to know that ever since Cox’s primary victory in July, he’s backpedaled away from his long record as an extremist. He’s repudiated previous positions, rewritten his web page, and is straining to present himself as a moderate Republican. He’s even downplaying his Trump endorsement.
Cox now denies that in January 2021, he tweeted that Vice President Pence is a “traitor”; this tweet, however, has been thoroughly verified. His campaign website no longer boasts that he fought to prevent Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election results. Or that Cox hired three buses to haul Trump supporters into D.C. to attack the Capitol on January 6.
The Washington Post reports that his web site has been scrubbed of “references to ‘a natural right’ to gun ownership and promises to ban transgender athletes in women’s sports and conduct an audit of the 2020 presidential election, which he has called ‘stolen.’”
Also, according to the Post, Cox has closed his account on the Gab social media platform and — tellingly — removed his approximately 1,000 posts from that site. Gab is associated with hate speech, racists, and white nationalists, ad nauseam.
Don’t be fooled by this middle-of-the-campaign flimflammery! Despite Candidate Cox’s reposturing, repositioning, restating, and rejiggering, the GOP’s gubernatorial hopeful remains — simply put — an authentic right-wing extremist. Cox can modify his malice as much as he likes, but it would be naive to think he’ll change his mind about anything.
Every Maryland voter urgently needs to understand that Candidate Cox:
- Denies that President Biden won the 2020 election and continues to parrot Trump’s baseless claims of voting fraud.
- Is solidly opposed to reproductive rights for women.
- Yearns to repeal Maryland’s sensible firearms-safety laws and make guns more available.
- Would outlaw most future pandemic-related public health measures.
- Supports extremist “Moms 4 Liberty”-type takeovers of local school boards.
- Avoids reporters’ requests for interviews and comments.
- Sees his candidacy as “a campaign between freedom and a socialist-communist politics” and swears that his opponent, Democrat Wes Moore, is a communist or a socialist.
- Extols his running mate, Gordana Schifanelli, another extremist with her own right-wing agenda and baggage.
- Insists that the Biden administration is “out-of-control” and “tyrannical.”
Even Maryland’s conservative incumbent governor, Republican Larry Hogan, has labeled Cox “a QAnon whack job” and is doing nothing to support his candidacy. Hogan says, “Cox is not, in my opinion, mentally stable. He wanted to hang my friend, Mike Pence, and took three busloads of people to the Capitol.”
If the prospect of a Trump clone as Maryland’s next governor horrifies you — as it should! — vote for Democrat Wes Moore and his running mate, Aruna Miller.

FDA authorizes Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech Omicron booster shots
“As we move into fall and spend more time indoors, we strongly recommend anyone who is eligible to consider a booster dose with a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine to provide better protection against the currently circulating variants,” said FDA Commissioner Robert Califf in a statement. a statement.
The updated emergency use authorization means that the original formulations of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines are no longer allowed as a booster dose for anyone 12 years and older, the FDA said.
Pfizer said in a statement Wednesday that it plans to withdraw its additional biologic license application for its original vaccine as a booster dose for people 16 years of age and older and will resubmit for the bivalent option. The original vaccine remains available as a booster dose for children aged 5-11 years.
Both booster shots contain messenger RNA encoding the spike protein of the original SARS-CoV-2 variant, as well as the spike protein of the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of the Omicron variant, which are now circulating . The boosters are only available to people who have received at least a full basic vaccination course, according to a federal planning guide. The same planning guidelines said it expects bivalent boosters for kids 11 and younger to be approved “within a short time.”
Data dilemma: The FDA based the authorization of the boosters on real-world data for existing mRNA vaccines, human trial data from other bivalent shots authorized in other parts of the world, and data from rodent studies. Some public health experts have argued that it is too early to green-light vaccines without safety and efficacy data for humans, even though the annual flu vaccine is authorized using data from animal studies due to the rapid turnaround time required each year. . However, the flu vaccine is not based on the newer mRNA technology.
What’s next: The Biden administration has ordered 175 million doses of the new boosters. Pfizer has said it could ship up to 15 million doses of its booster by September 9.
Pfizer said Wednesday it plans to apply for emergency use authorization for its bivalent booster for use in children ages 5-11 in early October, and that it is working with the FDA to file an application for the injection for to cover babies and toddlers as well. | https://whatsnew2day.com/fda-authorizes-moderna-pfizer-biontech-omicron-booster-shots/ | 2022-08-31T15:14:46Z | https://whatsnew2day.com/fda-authorizes-moderna-pfizer-biontech-omicron-booster-shots/ | true | 1 |

OnlyFans model Courtney Clenny pleaded not guilty through her lawyer to second-degree murder Wednesday for stabbing her boyfriend Christian “Tobechukwu” Obumseli to death with a kitchen knife in their luxury high-rise apartment.
Clenny was not present for the two-minute hearing before Florida Judge Diana Vizcaino.
“We will stand by our written request not to convict your honor,” said her attorney, Frank Prieto.
Cleney, who goes by Courtney Taylor online, has been held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami since Friday, when she was extradited from Hawaii and denied bond for the April 3 murder.

It took more than four months for authorities to charge the 26-year-old, who claimed she acted in self-defense after Obumseli attacked her.

She allegedly told police she threw the kitchen knife 10 feet — but the medical examiner said forensic evidence did not support that, according to court documents.
Cleney, while on the phone with her mother, allegedly plunged the knife into her chest. Cryptocurrency-trader lover Cut his subclavian artery.
Prosecutors announced the arrests at a news conference, saying Clenny was the “aggressor” during their tumultuous two-year relationship and released surveillance footage showing the petite blonde repeatedly hitting Obumseli in an elevator as he tries to restrain her.
After the alleged murder, a video went viral Clenny soaked in blood and wearing a black bra and handcuffs on the couple’s balcony — but the Miami Police Department declined to press charges and let her go later that night.
A few days later, Clenny was spotted drinking with her father at a hotel bar, sparking public outrage.

Alexander Isak is in line to make his Newcastle debut against Liverpool tonight after receiving his work permit.
Isak’s transfer from Real Sociedad was confirmed on Friday but the Sweden international missed Newcastle’s 1-1 draw at Wolves as his visa was not received in time.
But Eddie Howe was hopeful of having the striker in his ranks to face Jurgen Klopp’s side at Anfield and the Home Office has now processed the remaining paperwork and issued clearance.
Isak joined from Real Sociedad for a fee in the region of £60million — a record outlay for Newcastle.
He is Newcastle’s fourth senior signing of the summer after moves for Matt Targett, Nick Pope and Sven Botman.
Isak expressed his delight at moving to Tyneside, saying: “It was a big, big decision for me but it is a decision I am really happy with.
“It is a great, historical club that I think anyone would like to play for, with amazing fans. They were a big part of why I came here – and also the club’s project, which is one that I really believe in.
“I want to win things. I want to reach the goals and targets that the team has.”
Newcastle head to Merseyside still unbeaten at the start of the 2022-23 Premier League campaign, while Liverpool are looking to build on the 9-0 rout of Bournemouth that followed an opening run of three games without a win.

NEW YORK (AP) — A man was convicted again Wednesday in the first retrial stemming from scrutiny of a once-lauded New York City homicide detective who was later accused of framing suspects.
A stunned Eliseo DeLeon looked up at the ceiling at one point as Brooklyn Judge Dena Douglas delivered a verdict that could return him to prison for life. DeLeon chose to have Douglas hear the case without a jury.
His lawyer, Cary London, said he was “clearly disappointed” in the verdict and would weigh legal options while awaiting his Sept. 14 sentencing.
“I still believe in his innocence,” London said.
Prosecutors had no immediate comment on the verdict.
DeLeon was imprisoned for nearly a quarter-century before Douglas threw out his murder conviction in 2019 and granted him a new trial. He was free meanwhile but was taken back into custody after the verdict.
He could be sentenced to resume the 25-years-to-life term that he was serving before his original conviction was thrown out.
DeLeon is among nearly 20 people whose convictions have been overturned over the last decade in cases involving long-retired Detective Louis Scarcella, who denies any wrongdoing. Prosecutors exonerated, or at least declined to retry, most of those people but decided to proceed against DeLeon.
DeLeon was 18 when arrested in the death of Fausto Cordero, who was gunned down during an attempted robbery on a Brooklyn street in 1995. Cordero was heading home from a religious confirmation party with his wife, 7-year-old son and another relative.
Witnesses including Cordero’s wife and a stranger identified DeLeon as the gunman, and police said he confessed.
But after a video camera was turned on, DeLeon balked and asked for a lawyer, saying he was willing to talk but wouldn’t “be a fool, put myself on tape and say I did something I didn’t do.” A judge barred the video from his initial trial.
DeLeon’s lawyers said that police manufactured the alleged confession, that the witness identification procedures were flawed, that the results were inaccurate and that everything was tainted by the involvement of Scarcella and his then-partner Detective Stephen Chmil.
The two “framed an innocent man for murder,” London said in a summation last month.
Prosecutors said Scarcella and Chmil weren’t driving forces in DeLeon’s case, noting that they didn’t testify at his original trial or the preceding hearings. Prosecutors considered the disputed confession legitimate and emphasized that the two eyewitnesses returned to court to reaffirm their identifications after 27 years.
“All the cumulative evidence 27 years ago proves the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, no matter how much time passed,” Brooklyn assistant district attorney Chow Yun Xie said in his closing argument.
Chmil and another detective were assigned to lead the investigation. Police paperwork shows that Scarcella participated at least in arresting DeLeon and reading him his rights. The detective testified that he didn’t recall the case at all.
At the time, Scarcella was a case-cracking star in a city that was beginning to tame a crack-cocaine-era surge in killings and other violent crime. He worked on an estimated 200 homicide investigations before retiring in 1999, notching arrests in a roster of headline-making cases.
Those included the stabbing that injured a noted dancer/choreographer, the killing of a woman found with an ax in her skull, and the strangling of a developmentally disabled man in a $20 robbery. Scarcella also was credited with building a case against the alleged leader of a murderous, multimillion-dollar crack ring and nabbing the various alleged killers of a well-known rabbi, an off-duty correction officer and a subway token clerk set ablaze in his booth.
But over the past decade, a slate of defendants have accused Scarcella and Chmil of extracting false confessions and manipulating witnesses into finger-pointing people they didn’t actually see.
The men convicted of killing the rabbi, the token booth clerk and the jail guard have been cleared. The alleged crack kingpin’s conviction was overturned in June. Prosecutors are appealing that ruling, and they also consider many other convictions sound in cases involving Scarcella.
A former Brooklyn judge said in 2014 that the detective repeatedly engaged in “false and misleading practices,” a finding that Scarcella has called incorrect.
He and Chmil stand by their work. Their lawyers have said that the detectives used lawful techniques and that their cases were vetted by prosecutors who green-lighted arrests and went through the evidence. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Man-convicted-in-1st-retrial-of-ex-sleuth-s-17409757.php | 2022-08-31T15:23:26Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Man-convicted-in-1st-retrial-of-ex-sleuth-s-17409757.php | true | 17 |

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s bipartisan elections agency, which has been under fire from Republicans since Donald Trump’s loss in 2020, wants to ask the GOP-controlled Legislature to pay for additional staff to increase the accuracy and confidence in election results, help the public better understand how elections work and more quickly process complaints.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission was considering a proposal at its Wednesday meeting to seek $1.3 million to hire 10 people and create an Elections Inspector General program. The funding faces major hurdles. It would have to be approved first by the commission on Wednesday, then by the Legislature, which includes many Republicans who want to dissolve the commission entirely, and then be signed into law by the next governor.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers supports the commission, which the Republican-controlled Legislature created. But his Republican challenger Tim Michels, who is endorsed by Trump and has left open the possibility of trying to decertify his 2020 loss, wants to create a new commission.
The commission has been at the heart of many complaints lodged by Trump, Republican lawmakers and others related to guidance it gave local election officials for the 2020 election. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that absentee ballot drop boxes are illegal even though the commission issued guidance allowing them, and there are ongoing legal fights over who can legally return an absentee ballot and whether election clerks can fill in missing information on envelopes that contain absentee ballots.
In the face of that criticism, the commission was proposing creating the new office to “promote best practices designed to increase accuracy of and confidence in election results,” according to materials provided by staff for Wednesday's meeting. The office would also increase the agency's ability to more quickly research inquiries from both the public and lawmakers, especially those alleging illegal behavior, the agency said.
The agency said that since 2016, the average number of public records requests received by the commission has increased from two per month to more than 16 per month.
Creating the office to better handle those requests “would be one clear and decisive step toward creating a more effective, efficient agency that will better address citizen concerns and requests and thus increase public confidence in our elections,” the agency said.
The proposed office would also include a legislative liaison and a communications specialist whose job it would be to convey the office's findings to lawmakers and the public, the agency said. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Wisconsin-elections-board-wants-money-to-bolster-17409766.php | 2022-08-31T15:24:11Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Wisconsin-elections-board-wants-money-to-bolster-17409766.php | true | 11 |
Unit XI of Mumbai Police Crime Branch busted a sex racket that was operated online through a call centre and arrested one accused. The call centre was set up to operate the entire sex racket. After the Sealink Media office in Malad West was raided by officials, 17 girls were rescued.
During the raid, 19 phones and one laptop were confiscated. The accused, a 35-year-old person who is also the owner of the call centre, was arrested. The officials investigated the matter after they received a complaint from a 42-year-old lady.
An official from the crime branch found out through a mobile app that people were being offered phone sex through video calls in exchange for money. An online chatting application, called Chamet, was used to lure unsuspecting victims.
The accused convinced the young girls to remove their clothes and record objectionable videos. The officials learnt that the accused used 'digital diamonds' to pay the girls on calls, who later offered nude video calls or sex talks to their customers.
The accused was remanded to police custody and booked under relevant sections of the IT Act. | https://www.indiatoday.in/cities/mumbai/story/mumbai-police-busts-online-sex-racket-call-centre-arrested-girls-rescued-1994889-2022-08-31 | 2022-08-31T15:25:07Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/cities/mumbai/story/mumbai-police-busts-online-sex-racket-call-centre-arrested-girls-rescued-1994889-2022-08-31 | true | 2 |
NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Dingdong (Cayman) LTD ("Dingdong" or "the Company") (NYSE: DDL) and its U.S. representatives, certain Dingdong directors and officers and the underwriters of the Dingdong's June 2021 initial public offering ("IPO"), on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased, or otherwise acquired Dingdong American Depository Shares ("ADS") pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's IPO on or about June 28, 2021. Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/ddl.
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws.
The Complaint alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus used to effectuate the Company's IPO misstated and/or omitted facts concerning the Company's so-called commitment to ensuring the safety and quality of the food it distributes to the market. Despite claiming that it applies "stringent quality control across [its] entire supply chain to ensure product quality to [its] users," the Company sold food past its sell-by date. Consequently, the Company was, in fact, no better at providing or assuring access to "fresh" groceries than the supermarkets, traditional Chinese wet markets, or traditional e-commerce platforms it repeatedly claimed to be displacing. Moreover, the foregoing conduct subjected the Company to an increased risk of regulatory and/or governmental scrutiny and enforcement, all of which, once revealed, were likely to (and did) negatively impact the Company's business, operations, and reputation.
A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to review a copy of the Complaint, you can visit the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/ddl, or you may contact Peretz Bronstein, Esq. or his Law Clerk and Client Relations Manager, Yael Nathanson of Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC at 212-697-6484. If you suffered a loss in Dingdong, you have until October 24, 2022, to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

- On August 17, effective immediately, Health Canada announced
the addition of the following two maximum levels (MLs) for
inorganic arsenic to the
List of Contaminants and Other Adulterating Substances in
Food, which is incorporated by reference into the Food and
Drug Regulations:
- A ML of 0.1 ppm (100 ppb) for inorganic arsenic in rice-based foods intended for consumption by infants and young children. See Press Release.
- A ML of 0.01 ppm (10 ppb) for inorganic arsenic in fruit juices and fruit nectars, except grape juice and grape nectar for which the ML is 0.03 pm (30 ppb). See Press Release.
- As detailed in the press releases, Both MLs were initially proposed on April 9, 2021, and were open to comment for 75 days. No new scientific information was received in response to either proposal.
- The 100 ppb ML in infant/young children rice-based foods is the same as the action level that FDA issued in its 2020 final guidance. Further, the ML of 10 ppb in most juice products is consistent with the action level FDA proposed in its 2013 draft guidance, which has not yet been finalized. FDA has not proposed action levels for arsenic in other types of juice. Although the MLs have been finalized, Health Canada will continue to review new scientific information relating to either proposal. Any such information should be sent per the instructions included at the bottom of the respective press releases.

Restaurant owner `heartbroken´ as high costs force family business to close
A restaurant owner who has had to close his family business due to soaring energy prices said he hopes protections will be put in place to help others.
David Haetzman, 49, was forced to shut his restaurant, the Firebrick Brasserie in Lauder, near Edinburgh, earlier in August.
The chef told the PA news agency: “We’re heartbroken and pretty distraught. Obviously we have put a lot into the business over the last seven years.
David Haetzman had to shut the doors to his restaurant, the Firebrick Brasserie in Lauder, Scotland, this week (Amanda Jordan)
“We’re very passionate about what we do and it’s pretty heartbreaking to have to close.
“The cost-of-living crisis, and in particular the energy prices, is the thing that sent us over the edge.”
Mr Haetzman said he made the difficult decision after the restaurant’s energy bills shot up from £1,000 a month to nearly £4,000.
He said: “The last few years have been very difficult with Covid, which we managed to get through. The price in base ingredients increased and all of our prices went through the roof.
“It was impossible for us to make that sustainable. Customers were still coming through the door but they spent less, as their cost of living increased too.”
The closure of the restaurant inevitably led to redundancies.
Mr Haetzman said: “It’s really hard. We had a small team but a really good team for a long time, and it’s very difficult to let people go.”
His three children, Alex, 23, Charlie, 17, and Sophie, 15, were also working in the family business.
“It’s a sad day for all of us. What we will miss the most is serving our customers. We are very passionate about producing good food,” he said.
“The hustle and bustle of working, doing our own thing and being proud of what we’re doing – that’s now going to be a huge miss.”
Mr Haetzman also owns a bakery with his partner, Amanda Jordan, 52, who is a trained pastry chef.
He said: “The bakery isn’t quite as bad in terms of energy usage, but we are still concerned with energy prices and it’s still a massive issue.”
Mr Haetzman hopes a price cap for businesses will be introduced, so energy providers “can’t just charge us what they like”.
Sarah Laker, 52, owns a stationery shop in Marple in Cheshire and one in nearby Wilmslow and has had to increase prices to keep her business afloat, saying her electricity bill quintupled in the space of two years.
Ms Laker told PA: “Stock prices have risen dramatically – paper in particular.
“Per ream of paper, I now pay what I used to charge my customers. It has literally doubled in price.
“We used to sell our paper at £4.25 a ream, now we’re selling it at £7.”
Ms Laker said that in October 2020 her electricity bills came to £70 a month, a year later they were £170, and the new quote she has been given is £360 a month – five times what she was paying two years earlier.
The entrepreneur, from Glossop in Derbyshire, said: “We are going to really struggle. We can’t absorb all those price rises because otherwise we wouldn’t be viable anymore, so we had to put our prices up.
“We would need to increase our turnover by nearly £1,000 a month to cover the increased costs. I don’t know how to sustain my business long term like this.
“I’ve been adapting and changing so much over the last two years and I don’t know how much more of that I can do. I just hope I can survive this storm.”
Ms Laker has five part-time staff working with her across both shops and she has already taken a pay cut to keep the business running.

She said letting go any of her employees is “the last thing” she would do.
Her staff include her daughter, Molly Laker, 27.
“My daughter had a mental health break at university, after which she struggled to hold down a job,” she said.
“We took on the second shop two years ago for her to come work for me, to get her back into a better place and support her.
“It’s become a family business. She’s one of the reasons I’m determined for the shops to survive this storm, because I need to do that for her.” | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11165011/Restaurant-owner-heartbroken-high-costs-force-family-business-close.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-31T15:34:29Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11165011/Restaurant-owner-heartbroken-high-costs-force-family-business-close.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 8 |
