Besides competitions judging sheepdogs and handlers corralling sheep, the Soldier Hollow Classic will also feature duck herding, bagpipes, a petting zoo and other festival attractions.
The event begins Friday and wraps up Monday, which is Labor Day. Each day starts with the national anthem at 7:50 a.m., then sheepdog competition events on the Soldier Hollow main competition field at 8 a.m. Festivities wrap up around 5 p.m.
The competitions follow judging and standards of the United States Border Collie Handlers Association and test dogs’ and handlers’ ability to steer sheep.

Besides the main field, there will be a food court, beer garden and activities like face painting and sheep shearing. People can meet police dogs and birds of prey, play corn hole and hula-hoop, and watch other competitions with highly trained dogs.

Flamengo visits Vélez Sarsfield this Wednesday in the semifinal of Conmebol Libertadores broadcast by ESPN on Star+
O Flamengo must face Vélez Sarsfieldthis Wednesday, at 21:30 (Brasília time), with live stream on ESPN on Star+ in the semifinal of CONMEBOL Libertadoreson a lawn without ideal conditions. The Argentine club, however, continues to try “makeup” the José Amalfitani stadium field.
The channel report ESPN is on stage for the duel hours before the match. Employees of the Argentine team are working in an attempt to try to make the grass greener, disguising imperfections.
The work generates curious images. The sideline of the fieldfor example, in one of the most affected points of the lawn, appears in a shade of green because of the ink used.
The view from the side of the field also reveals several holes, in a very worn grass.
This is also clear in the comparison between the grass outside the field and the technical area, with the grass inside the four lines.
In addition to this work, Vélez also watered the lawn on Tuesday, repeated the procedure this Wednesday and will do the same again closer to the time of the match. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/31/hours-before-facing-flamengo-velez-continues-to-make-up-the-pitch-for-the-libertadores-semifinal-see-images/ | 2022-08-31T18:36:27Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/31/hours-before-facing-flamengo-velez-continues-to-make-up-the-pitch-for-the-libertadores-semifinal-see-images/ | true | 4 |

SPEARFISH — Black Hills State University posted a 1-1 tie with Minot State in a nonconference women’s soccer game played Monday afternoon at Ronnie Theisz Field.
“We definitely were at our best today,” Yellow Jackets’ head coach Andrew Conniff said.
SPEARFISH — Black Hills State University posted a 1-1 tie with Minot State in a nonconference women’s soccer game played Monday afternoon at Ronnie Theisz Field.
“We definitely were at our best today,” Yellow Jackets’ head coach Andrew Conniff said.
Conniff said fatigue may have been a factor in the final 20 minutes as the team was playing its third game in five days.
Minot State had the best scoring chance in the first half. A shot by Rebecca Storr hit the crossbar and stayed out of the goal, keeping the contest scoreless with 24 minutes to go.
Goaltender Maddie Kindred made a late save to keep Minot State in a 0scoreless tie going into halftime.
Black Hills State got on the scoreboard early in the second half. Emma Avery converted a penalty kick with 39 minutes 48 seconds remaining to put the Yellow Jackets ahead 1-0.
Yellow Jacket goaltender Makayla Dannelly made a diving save 4 ½ minutes later as the score remained 1-0.
The visiting Beavers received a penalty kick opportunity with 1 minute 12 seconds to go in the second half. Hadlee Paxman scored to forge the eventual 1-1 tie for Minot State, who claimed a 14-7 shots advantage.
Emma Avery recorded a team-high three shots for Black Hills State (zero wins, two losses, one tie). Darby Whiteley, Allie Brown, Haley Hesselgesser, and Maddi Avery each had one shot. Dannelly finished with five goaltender saves.
Conniff said Black Hills State rotated a lot of players today, and this started with last weekend’s tournament in Billings, Mont.
“Today, I think we were the most successful in the attacking third,” Conniff said in comparing this game to the previous two. He added the team discussed getting touches in the box (the area in front of the opposing team’s goal) and getting services.
Black Hills State has allowed a total of only four goals in its three games. Conniff gave credit to Dannelly and Brown, among others.
Going forward, Conniff said, the Yellow Jackets must improve on winning free kicks and throw-ins.
Black Hills State has scored a grand total of one goal in its first three games. Conniff said Avery played a center-forward position, and more chemistry among the front three (two wings and a forward) is needed.
“Off the field, much more cohesive,” Conniff said in comparing this season’s team to last year’s. “The older group has really embraced the new players.”
Midfielder Haley Steskal said the Yellow Jackets showed a lot of energy, and scoring the first goal was huge.
“I’m obviously going to look at us getting scored at the end,” Steskal said in describing the key to the game.
She said the team played very defensively and did not hold the ball up front.
Steskal said things are quite different from last season.
“I think our energy on the field is way better; I think our fitness is better,” she added.
Midfield players have excelled with game shape and figuring out how to defend and move forward, according to Steskal.
She said the center-back position poses a concern, as the regular starter is injured. Steskal said this year’s team is a whole new squad as compared to the 2021 group.
“We have a lot of talent. I think the energy on the field is much better, and I think we look more and more like we’re playing as a team versus 11 individuals,” Steskal said.
Black Hills State ends nonconference play on Sept. 9 when it hosts Montana State-Billings at Ronnie Theisz Field.
Start time is set for 3 p.m.

Indigenous names enrich atlas of life
Some of the first names for Australia's native plants and animals have taken their rightful place in the nation's atlas of living things.
The inclusion of 2500 names, from eight Indigenous languages spoken in South East Arnhem Land, is a powerful new chapter in efforts to unite traditional and western scientific knowledge.
From Thursday, anyone using the Atlas of Living Australia will see many more Indigenous names sitting alongside Latin and common names for a multitude of species.
That's a big deal for students at the remote Ngukurr school near the Roper River in the Northern Territory who can now look up what they see around them every day, in their own languages.
There are also links to further information that details Indigenous knowledge about caring for country.
Nat Raisbeck-Brown leads the Indigenous ecological knowledge program that's aiding the evolution of the atlas - a national database that provides free online access to a vast repository of information about Australia's biodiversity.
She says it's an important and empowering thing for Indigenous Australians, including the rangers of the future, to be able to search the database in their own language.
It's the third, and the largest, tranche of Indigenous names added so far, and there are plans to continue the cultural evolution of the atlas into the future.
"More and more, language is seen as one of the most important things for closing the gap. The revival and revitalisation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages is an important link for people to step back into knowledge and culture," she says.
"And sometimes, it's the first step back in.
"The kids ... when they look up one of the animals they see around, they can now see their own knowledge about it, instead of what we think about it. If we bring the two knowledge systems together, there's a great belief in science that it's a better way to manage country."
The atlas team worked with Yugul Mangi rangers and Macquarie University researchers on new additions that span eight languages: Kriol, Marra, Ritharreu/Wagliak, Ngandi, Wubuy, Ngalakgan, Alawa and Rembarrnga.
Yugul Mangi assistant ranger coordinator Julie Roy, who speaks Ngalakan and Ngandi languages, says the project has resulted in shared scientific benefits while also helping to keep local languages alive.
"It was very interesting for me to learn both the scientific names and local language names for the species and it's also good for the kids to be able to search these species online to learn more about local languages," she says.
Macquarie University researcher Emilie Ens says the work recognises the deep traditions of First Nations peoples.
"It's long overdue yet is increasingly seen as essential for effective management of Australia's environments." | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11165877/Indigenous-names-enrich-atlas-life.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-31T18:40:31Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11165877/Indigenous-names-enrich-atlas-life.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 3 |

Rapid Recap: The plan for Will Howard
HEALTH UPDATES
Strength and conditioning has been a popular point of discussion throughout fall camp and Kansas State feels like they have learned the best way to keep players fresh and healthy for the season.
One immediate result is making it to game week with only one player sidelined, and that is linebacker Will Honas. It is a new injury and not the one he arrived in Manhattan with from last year.
Chris Klieman shared that it was not a season-ender.
The Wildcats did receive good news on the injury front though, as Khalid Duke will play and be available in week one. It has not been determined how much he will play this year, though.
LOTS OF ROTATING
K-State wants to rotate a lot of bodies in the season opener. With 39 new players in the program, the goal is for them to become acclimated to playing for the Wildcats as soon as possible, whether it be on offense, defense or special teams.
That was noted when each position was asked about on Tuesday. Klieman pointed out that as many as eight different offense linemen could see the field, including both Hadley Panzer and Hayden Gillum at center.
We'll see many at the safety spot, too.
They don't have a target number of players they'd like to throw out there for snaps on Saturday against South Dakota, but they'd like as many as possible to get their feet wet versus the Coyotes.
It is also beneficial for the coaching staff. They can use it as a method to help pare the roster down for when they have to form the travel rosters during conference action.
CONFIDENCE WITH KT
Probably the biggest winner of the offseason for Kansas State was KT Leveston. He is in the best shape of his collegiate career and has dropped eight percent body fat from last season.
His teammates and coaches have taken notice.
That praise continued on Tuesday afternoon when Leveston was listed as the starting left tackle, per the first depth chart. He received a lot of reps during fall camp while Andrew Leingang was injured and volunteered to take those reps, regardless of his exhaustion level.
Klieman praised the amount of work he has put in during his K-State career from a growth and maturity standpoint and went as far as to say he thinks the Wildcats new starting left tackle is a potential All-Big 12 player this season.

THE PLAN FOR WILL HOWARD
Will Howard is the back-up quarterback again for Kansas State. And, once again, he still has his redshirt available. He and the coaches will take that into account when making decisions on his playing time this year.
He nearly redshirted last year, but it was burnt when he started and played versus Texas in the finale.
If Adrian Martinez's helmet was to come off and a quarterback had to rush on the field for a snap, it would be Jake Rubley that his number called. That is to preserve Howard's eligibility.
He has three years left, plus a redshirt. | https://kansasstate.rivals.com/news/rapid-recap-the-plan-for-will-howard | 2022-08-31T18:43:41Z | https://kansasstate.rivals.com/news/rapid-recap-the-plan-for-will-howard | true | 2 |

Fans won’t have to wait much longer for The Last of Us Part 1, a next-gen remake of the beloved post-apocalyptic narrative. Planned to release as a timed PS5 exclusive with unique features not available in the original release, Part 1 offers intense and beautiful graphics boasted by very few other games. PS5 owners that haven’t experienced the original are sure to want a look at this remake. When does The Last of Us Part 1 release on PlayStation 5, and how long will players need to wait for it to unlock?
When Does The Last of Us Part 1 Release and Unlock on PS5?
There aren’t many days until Part 1 is finally in the hands of PS5 owners. The remake will launch on September 2nd, 2022. If you’ve preordered the game, you’ll find a countdown of when it will unlock as it appears in your library. You can make sure you get your hands on it immediately by ensuring auto-downloads are turned on, allowing the console to start preparing the game as soon as it’s ready. Just remember that when it comes to consoles, Part 1 is a PS5 exclusive. You can’t purchase it on the PlayStation 4 and expect to play it immediately from there.
The Last of Us Part 1 is very similar to the original game – as one should expect. The remake focuses on new animations and technical improvements by taking full advantage of the PlayStation 5’s upgraded hardware. As mentioned, first-time players will likely get a lot out of Part 1. If you don’t want to wait or you already own The Last of Us Remastered, the PS4 release has not lost its backwards compatibility. PlayStation Plus users also get access to a collection that includes the Remastered version of the game at no extra charge. It’s recommended that you take a look at reviews and decide if the technical improvements are worth the higher price point.
The Last of Us Part 1 will release as a PlayStation 5 console exclusive on September 2, 2022. | https://attackofthefanboy.com/guides/the-last-of-us-part-1-release-time-when-does-the-game-unlock-on-ps5/ | 2022-08-31T18:47:59Z | https://attackofthefanboy.com/guides/the-last-of-us-part-1-release-time-when-does-the-game-unlock-on-ps5/ | false | 1 |
Medifast, Inc. (MED - Free Report) looks troubled by elevated costs. The company has been seeing high SG&A expenses for a while now, mainly due to higher OPTAVIA commission costs. Also, escalated raw material costs are hurting the gross margin. These headwinds were visible in the company’s second-quarter 2022 results, wherein management curtailed its guidance for 2022. Let’s delve deeper.
Shares of this Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) company have slumped 23.7% in the past three months against the industry’s growth of 1.8%.
High Costs
In the second quarter of 2022, adjusted SG&A expenses came in at $263.3 million, up $31 million year over year. The increase was mainly led by escalated OPTAVIA Coach compensation expenses, additional costs associated with continued investments in information technology and distribution infrastructure and a rise in credit card fees. Management expects increased SG&A expenses in the third quarter.
Medifast’s gross margin has been contracting year over year for the past few quarters now. In the second quarter of 2022, Medifast’s gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, came in at 71%, down from the 74.5% reported in the second quarter of 2021. The downside can be attributed to a customer acquisition program and increased product costs stemming from inflation in raw ingredient costs. The adjusted income from operations declined $3 million to $58.4 million. As a percentage of revenues, the metric fell 270 basis points to 12.9% year over year.
On its second-quarter 2022 earnings call, management stated that it expects short-term margin pressure in 2022 due to inflation and continued investments related to technology and supply-chain infrastructure.

A Look at Q2 Earnings & Ahead
MED posted second-quarter 2022 earnings of $3.87 per share, which declined 2.5% on a year-over-year basis. This can be attributed to escalated costs. Management curtailed its 2022 guidance due to macroeconomic factors like raw material and transportation cost inflation and consumer sentiment that have affected customer retention. This is likely to deliver slower-than-anticipated growth in the second half of 2022.
Management anticipates 2022 revenues in the range of $1.58-$1.66 billion. Earlier, the company expected revenues in the range of $1.78-$1.84 billion. Revenues came in at $1.5 billion in 2021. The company expects 2022 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) in the band of $12.7-$14.1, lower than the earlier guidance in the band of $14.60-$16.05. The company posted an EPS of $13.89 in 2021.
While strength in Medifast’s OPTAVIA lifestyle solution and coaching support system bodes well, the abovementioned obstacles cannot be ignored in the near term.
Consumer Staple Stocks Worth a Look
Some better-ranked stocks are The Chef's Warehouse (CHEF - Free Report) , General Mills, Inc. (GIS - Free Report) and Celsius Holdings (CELH - Free Report) .
Chef’s Warehouse, a distributor of specialty food products in the United States, currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). CHEF has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 355.9%, on average. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Chef Warehouse’s current financial-year sales suggests growth of 40.7% from the year-ago reported number.
General Mills, which manufactures and markets branded consumer foods worldwide, currently carries a Zacks Rank of 2 (Buy). GIS has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 6.5%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for General Mills’ current financial-year sales and EPS suggests growth of almost 2% and 1.5%, respectively, from the corresponding year-ago reported figures.
Celsius Holdings, which develops, processes, markets, distributes and sells functional drinks and liquid supplements, carries a Zacks Rank #2 at present. Celsius Holdings delivered an earnings surprise of 50% in the last reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CELH’s current financial-year sales suggests growth of 97.3% from the year-ago period’s reported figure.

31-28
I’ll freely admit this was way worse at the final gun than trailing Illinois 30-9 last year and at the time, did I ever feel like being kicked in the nuts had been redefined for me. If the failures of the last seven years have had one positive effect, it’s this - for the most part when the clock hits zero, I tab out, head home and spare others several hours of my loud self-therapy.
It’s not like I’m alone in it - there’s no shortage of group pain after another soul amputation - or that it’s just pissing and moaning. No no, it’s much much worse, a veritable roller coaster of “the world hates us”, “we suck”, “we’re ok but the refs violated us yet again”, “I’m done, fire that guy”, “FIRE FROST!”, “hey, there’s some bright spots” and finally “WHO SAID THAT? I’LL NEVER STOP BELIEVING!!” And on and on, but most importantly, I just don’t want to see that haunted post-game expression of mine being reflected back at me from some other poor bastard’s face.
At the end of the day, I’ve learned to allow every bit of the pain to wash through me with the unshakable belief the ensuing happiness will make it all worth it…and talk myself into going on without self-delusion. Well, not too much.
Also, the horrible mutt I dogsit occasionally doubles as an excellent unregistered post-game emotional support beast.
MILD CONCERNS OR RED FLAGS?
So let’s fast forward to what happened in Dublin mid-afternoonish Saturday. As the game unfolded, I realized in retrospect there were a few things which only raised eyebrows prior to the game but were possibly huge red flags. So with four quarters of football under our belt, where do I stand now? That’s the lead-in, straight to the list:
- Our offense was #2 in Big 10 and #18 in country in yardage gained. Defense #7 in the conference and no idea nationally but nowhere near top 20. Solution? Fire almost every offensive coach, retool there but the defense is ok. I get it - the D going bend but don’t break looked better than the offense constantly catching Ebola in the red zone and on drives with the game on the line but still...
VERDICT: RED FLAG - that last drive of Northwestern was tough to stomach. Until we show some sand against a team with a solid offensive line, this is more than a mild concern. - OLB’s are now defensive ends…errr, Edge. So 4-3, right? This feels like a 2-4-5. In the Big 10. Where everyone’s into bludgeoning at some point except Ohio St. (and maybe Purdue) who’s as big as everyone but faster. Our Edge starters are 220 and 245 and this may reflect directly on Red Flag #1 above - we’re not beating Braelon Edwards with 2 legit defensive lineman.
VERDICT: RED FLAG - Also that lighter rush end thing produced 0 sacks. And only 36 snaps for 260-lb EDGE rush specialist and highlighted transfer Ochaun Mathis who came in with plenty of experience. If he’s only our 3rd best at that position, that’s a problem. If he’s not, but is being treated that way, that’s a bigger problem. (Note: he easily graded out highest at the position Saturday)
VERDICT: CONCERN - for now. It’s one game and hopefully there’s a better reason for the lack of playing time, but this bears watching. This was supposed to fill a need which is still glaring. - We gave a Blackshirt to Colton Feist, a walk-on D-lineman from Yutan along with a starting job. He beat out the Texas Tech 2-year starter and a giant Alabama transfer and almost played more snaps than the two of them and the Polar Bear combined. He did end up with 5 tackles - more than the three of them and an ineffective Ty Robinson, so..
VERDICT: CONCERN but that flag is being ironed. - This wasn’t the Husker typical 1-score loss. Last year we would shit down our own leg repeatedly but then fight the good fight and come up short. We didn’t come up short this time. They ran over our defense for about 7 minutes in the 4th quarter. That’s a problem. One that’s possibly answered with more than 2 down linemen.
VERDICT: RED FLAG - The onside kick in retrospect was bad. Ryan Hilinski throwing for 300 yards on us without a receiver anyone could name is worse. As is the weird respect we showed with soft zones and coverage cushions. The group did grade out higher than the line/LB’s Saturday so...
VERDICT: CONCERN - but a big one that bears watching - The offensive line was unable to establish much of a push and gave up a couple of sacks. Teddy just flat out had a bad day, but we have to remember he’s a true sophomore coming off a pretty bad injury; he’ll be better. And they did still gain close to 500 yards. I’m going to hold judgment a little as they may need some time to start applying the new philosophy to game play.
VERDICT: CONCERN - but weekly gains must be shown or this will flip to red flag. If they don’t show improvement against Oklahoma, there’s a big problem.
BRIGHT SPOTS...AND-
- THE ONSIDE KICK - This is where much of the criticism focused, but I reacted much worse to that last drive of Northwestern’s. Of course I question the timing, but also wonder if Frost was aware of the Huskers’ defensive issues and saw this a way to try and ease the pressure by giving them a 3-score pad. They had obviously spotted something in the Wildcat return formation on film - unfortunately, so had Fitzgerald who said their staff had also caught one of theirs out of position and put him back in his spot right before that kickoff. Good catch by them and a little bad luck on the timing.
- CASEY THOMPSON - Yes, he tailed off at the end, but it was still an overall impressive debut and I do not blame him for either interception (and why were we throwing to our two worst receivers on the day in those situations). He was cool, calm and mostly accurate and looked impressive in the short passing game - which maybe we should have stuck with?
- ANTHONY GRANT - Clearly our top running back. I know coaches will have the urge to feed all the mouths but Grant is the complete package - can hit small holes hard, turn nothing runs into small gains with strength and drive and bust the long run when the opportunity presents itself. Personally, I’d leave him in on the goal line - he’s better than Yant finding those tough yards.
- THE WIDE RECEIVERS - I like the top ones - and Omar’s return should boost this group as well. Hopefully, Vokolec will be heathy quickly and not “day-to-day” for 7 weeks as we mask a serious injury. Along with him, Palmer, Garcia-Castaneda (man, I love having a receiver who sounds like a lauded Spanish author), Brown and Washington all looked very good. Let’s focus on them a little more at crunch time from now on.
FINAL THOUGHT - It’s easy to want to check out, but at this point I believe the Husker fans who remain are battle-tested enough not to give up already. The ones firing shots about how done they are strike me as folks who have done it before and are singing the same song. I decided a few years ago I ride or die with these young men, criticisms or no aside.
For anyone still hurting, as always, I turn to the wisdom of fictional former Dillon High HC Eric Taylor: | https://www.cornnation.com/2022/8/31/23328290/24-hour-rule-were-mere-concerns-actually-red-flags-and-other-thoughts-nebraska-huskers-northwestern | 2022-08-31T18:50:56Z | https://www.cornnation.com/2022/8/31/23328290/24-hour-rule-were-mere-concerns-actually-red-flags-and-other-thoughts-nebraska-huskers-northwestern | false | 1 |
The National Alliance on Mental Illness Partners with FMI Foundation to Spotlight Benefits
ARLINGTON, Va, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The growing body of published science continues to expound on the mental health benefits of family meals – in addition to the nutrition and physical health advantages. In conjunction with September's National Family Meals Month™, today the FMI Foundation celebrates its groundbreaking partnership with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to shine a spotlight on these benefits.
Family meals provide opportunities to spend time and develop relationships with family and friends, which has been shown to improve mental and physical health. In fact, research shows that family meals are as important to health and well-being as sleep, exercise and food.[i], [ii]
"Since 2015, the Family Meals Movement has promoted the physical health and nutrition benefits of family meals, however, the emotional and mental health benefits are also well-documented," said David Fikes, executive director of the FMI Foundation. "As the relationship between mental health, nutrition, and overall wellness gains recognition, we are delighted to team with NAMI. This partnership will help amplify the positive impact that family meals, however one defines family, have on mental health, physical health and emotional well-being."
- When families eat together, they tend to eat healthier meals, and this improved nutrition supports both the body and the mind. "Repeatedly, studies show that good nutrition plays a vital part in mental health – as do social connections," said Christina Bott, director, Public Safety & Health Care Initiatives at NAMI. "Pairing good nutrition and family meals has protective benefits against a variety of risk factors. NAMI's newest program, NAMI Hearts+Minds, focuses on the evidence-based interconnection of mental and physical health and empowering individuals in all aspects of their well-being. We're pleased to partner with the FMI Foundation to raise awareness for the positive association between family meals and mental health."
- Consumers agree that family meals are worth it – even in this period of high inflation. According to the FMI Foundation's July 2022 "Staying Strong with Family Meals" Barometer, 61% of Americans feel the benefits of family meals outweigh the costs. In fact, among households with children, 67% feel the benefits outweigh the costs. This Barometer is a recurring quantitative study among a nationally representative sample of consumers. It also confirms that Americans are enjoying more meals together than they did before the pandemic. Eighty-nine percent (89%) say they are having the same amount or more in-person family meals and, moving forward, more than 93% of Americans of those sharing more meals with others plan to continue sharing more family meals at home.
The FMI Foundation's website showcases many studies that have shown how family meals result in better nutritional intake, as well as improved physical and mental health. It also features valuable tips and links to numerous partner organizations committed to helping Americans achieve their family meals goals and boost their overall wellness.
Established in 1996, the FMI Foundation seeks to ensure continued quality and efficiency in the food retailing system and is operated for charitable, educational and scientific purposes. To help support the role of food retailing, the FMI Foundation focuses on research, education, and resources in the area of health and well-being, which embraces food safety, nutrition and social responsibility concerns.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Videos obtained by NewsNation affiliate KLAS show former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch’s luxury car stuck on a boulder in a crash that led to a parking ticket.
Lynch, 36, was driving in Las Vegas around 4 a.m. on Feb. 22 when his Lamborghini Aventador “collided with landscaping and a fence,” police wrote in a report. Las Vegas Metro Police body camera videos show Lynch’s car sitting in the landscaped area as police try to determine who was driving it.
Officers suspected Lynch was driving at “a high rate of speed” when his car veered off the road, hit a curb and traveled about 50 feet before stopping on top of the boulder, the report said.
A person at the scene, who told police he was Lynch’s cousin, initially said Lynch was not driving, the report said and the videos reveal. Police had issued a citation to that person, but those violations “were voided due to the fact it was proven [that person] was not the driver at the time of the collision,” police wrote in the report.
“Is this your car?” an officer asks the man.
“My cousin,” he replied.
“And you’re saying you were driving?” the officer responded.
“Yup,” the man said.
“Where’s your cousin?” the officer asked.
“He’s probably at home,” the man said.
Police said witnesses saw Lynch walking away from the crash and then “returned and began attempting to remove the vehicle from the landscape area,” the report said. A van later arrived to aid in that attempt, the police report said. Lynch later left in the van, leaving the man police are talking to in the videos with the car.
“Who got picked up in the van?” an officer asked.
“No, I came in the van,” the man said.
“You came in the van? I thought you said you were driving this thing?” the officer replied, referring to the Lamborghini.
Officers do not believe the man they were talking to was the driver since witnesses saw a second man with a different description walking away from the crash site, they said on the videos.
“It’s hard to keep your story straight when you’re lying to me,” the officer said to the man.
Lynch does not appear in any of the videos. In one clip, officers appear to reference witness video of the driver getting out of the car. They described him as a “big dude” who was no longer at the crash site.
“They were trying to pull it out before anybody got here,” one officer remarked. “That’s the dude that was driving — a big dude — this is the dude that stayed.”
Three days after the crash, police met with Lynch, who owned up to driving, they wrote in the report. Lynch told officers he was new to the neighborhood and that he left the crash site “to avoid being placed on video,” the report said.
Police cited Lynch for the crash and did not arrest him. Officers said he was not impaired.
Court records show Lynch pleaded nolo contendere — accepting violation but denying guilt — to a charge of stopping, standing or parking prohibited in specified places, which is a misdemeanor. A judge ordered him to pay a $750 fine.
“This is a non-story,” Lynch’s attorneys Richard Schonfeld and David Chesnoff said in a statement to KLAS about the February incident. “Marshawn addressed this matter many months ago and was found responsible for a parking violation.”
The court told KLAS the plea was negotiated between the Clark County District Attorney’s Office and Lynch’s attorneys.
On Aug. 9, Las Vegas Metro police arrested Lynch on suspicion of DUI after a traffic stop around 7:30 in the morning.
Officers said they found Lynch “asleep behind the wheel with the vehicle in an undrivable condition.” The car, a 2020 Shelby GT500 Coupe, was unregistered, police said.
In that case, Lynch faces charges of DUI liquor and/or drugs, failure or refusal to surrender proof of insurance, driving an unregistered vehicle and failure to drive in a travel lane.
“Marshawn was not pulled over for a DUI,” Lynch’s attorneys said in a statement regarding Lynch’s August arrest. “Rather, the vehicle was safely parked and not in operation. We are confident that when all evidence is presented, this will not be a DUI under Nevada law. Marshawn appreciates and is thankful for everyone’s concern and support.”
Nevada law states a person sitting in the driver’s seat of a vehicle is deemed “in physical control” of the vehicle.
Lynch most recently played for the Seattle Seahawks and played for the then-Oakland Raiders for the 2017-2018 season. | https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/sports/marshawn-lynch-crash-video-vegas/ | 2022-08-31T18:51:57Z | https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/sports/marshawn-lynch-crash-video-vegas/ | false | 22 |
Nicole Linton, the driver who is accused of killing six people after running a red light while speeding in Windsor Hills, California, may have had an “apparent lapse of consciousness” leading up to the car accident.
According to the Los Angeles Times, based on legal paperwork filed by Linton’s defense attorneys, the nurse was suffering a “frightening” mental health emergency prior to the deadly August 4 accident.
Linton drove the vehicle that ran into the intersection and killed five adults and an unborn child. She has been charged with a total of six counts of murder, including the pregnant woman’s unborn child. She is also facing five manslaughter counts.
The victims of the crash were Asherey Ryan (who was 8 and1/2 months pregnant); her boyfriend and father of that child, Reynold Lester; and Ryan’s son, Alonzo Quintero. Nathesia Lewis, and Lynette Noble also died in the crash.
In the documents submitted, her attorneys acknowledged that she was struggling with bipolar disorder for the past four years. Immediately after the accident, doctors decided that the nurse suffered an “apparent lapse of consciousness” when she crashed her Mercedes-Benz that day.
On August 6, Dr. William Winter treated Linton at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and wrote in his report that, “She has no recollection of the events that led to her collision.The next thing she recalled was lying on the pavement and seeing that her car was on fire.”
Linton’s attorneys want her released from jail because of her mental health struggles; her “apparently bizarre” activities should not be the reason to keep her imprisoned. They would like for her to be released for testing at UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. They offered that she would wear an ankle monitor as well as submit to any other requirements that the court chooses to set.

An Australian animal rights group has launched an anti-bacon campaign after a report exposed the true cost of pig farming.
Animal Liberation Queensland (ALQ) compiled the 44-page report, titled: “BACON: Everything the Australian Pork industry doesn’t want you to know.” The organization spent 10 months visiting 44 farms around Queensland, Australia’s largest pork-producing state.
The organization has created a new website called BACON.ORG.AU. It states that the pork industry is “responsible for deeply troubling animal welfare issues that are often kept secret from the public.”
Issues discussed in the report include factory farms, painful mutilations, confinement, biosecurity issues, antibiotic resistance, disease, and pollution.
As well as visiting the farms in person, ALQ conducted drone inspections. Investigators found exposed pig carcasses at 19 sites – a rate of 43 percent. This, the report noted, could cause “serious biosecurity risks for all Australians.”
“Mortality rates for pigs are amongst the highest for any farmed animal. It’s hardly a surprise when you see the conditions these intelligent, sentient animals both live and die in,” said Amanda Holly, ALQ’s campaign manager said in a statement.
Warning: graphic image below
“Factory farms are the ideal environment for bacteria and disease. In a world still recovering from the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, it’s reasonable for Australians to expect a higher level of transparency and accountability from the pig industry.”
Australia’s pig farming industry
According to PETA, around six million pigs are slaughtered for food in Australia each year. Around 90 percent of them are factory farmed.
This means that they often live in cramped and filthy warehouses, and many will spend much of their lives in cages.
Many sows will be kept in farrowing crates for around four or five weeks after giving birth. These cages offer very little space, even to turn around. Newborn piglets are able to suckle from their mother from a small area next to the cage, but she is unable to nuzzle or take care of her young.
Some female pigs are still kept in gestation crates – sometimes known as “sow stalls” – during pregnancy. Australian Pork Limited (APL) previously committed to phasing these out by 2017. But some farms will keep pigs in these crates for up to six weeks of their pregnancy.
Pigs are also subjected to painful mutilations, including teeth clipping, tail-docking, castration, and eat tagging.
The environmental costs of pig farming
The report points out that farmed pigs produce about five times the amount of waste that humans do.
This is generally pumped into ponds, which emit highly toxic gasses, including hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia. In the past, humans have died from inhaling gasses from manure ponds. Some of these gasses are also significant contributors to climate change.
“How is it that we insist on treating human feces, but tolerate open sewage ponds for factory-farmed animals?,” the report states. “This shines a light on our biased worldview; our very large blind spot when it comes to animal agriculture.”
Hopes for the future
The organization has expressed hope that pig producers will start to shift towards plant-based farming, which some farmers across the globe have already started doing.
“We are urging policymakers to act swiftly to halt any new or expanding factory farms, and offer producers the required assistance to help them to transition towards plant-based food production, to service the booming plant-based protein sector,” Holly told Plant Based News.
“In the meantime, there needs to be much closer scrutiny on the intensive pig farming industry, to address the serious animal welfare, biosecurity, environmental and human health impacts that it is responsible for.” | https://plantbasednews.org/news/activism/anti-bacon-campaign-australia/ | 2022-08-31T18:54:47Z | https://plantbasednews.org/news/activism/anti-bacon-campaign-australia/ | false | 1 |
Amish family recovering after driver crashes into their horse and buggy
Five members of an Amish family are recovering after a driver crashed into their buggy Saturday afternoon in Missouri.
Truman Gingerich, 38, and his wife Ada Gingerich, 33, were returning from a church service with three of their six children, three daughters ages three, five and seven.
According to the crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 71-year-old driver of a 2003 Mercury struck the rear of the Gingerich buggy.
All five members of the Gingerich Family were taken to area hospitals.
They’ve all been released except the 5-year-old girl.
"The Lord was looking out for them because they shouldn’t be here," said Dan Atkinson.
Atkinson is a friend and neighbor of the Gingerich family and was one of the first people to arrive at the crash site.
The broken pieces of the buggy are lined up against a fence on the Gingerich property.
"I looked for it. I realized when I saw the broken wheels everywhere that the pieces of the buggy were all over the highway," Atkinson said.
Truman Gingerich later told Atkinson the real horror of the crash, wondering if his daughters would survive.
"He said, Dan, you don’t understand how hard it was when I looked up, and I tried to get up, and I could see my little girls lying in the highway, and they were lifeless," Atkinson said. "And he tried to get to them, and he was trying to get up off the ground, and when he got to them, he said he couldn’t get them to wake up or nothing,"
Atkinson spent part of Tuesday with extended Gingerich family members taking a buggy to be repaired for Truman’s family to use.
The family horse also had to be put down at the crash site due to injuries.
Residents of the Holden community have been rallying around the Gingerich Family, including providing them with meals and raising money to help with medical expenses.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol cited the driver for careless and imprudent driving.
The case has not yet been referred to the Johnson County Prosecutor for possible criminal charges. | https://www.wyff4.com/article/amish-family-driver-crashes-horse-buggy/41043426 | 2022-08-31T18:55:59Z | https://www.wyff4.com/article/amish-family-driver-crashes-horse-buggy/41043426 | true | 11 |
Accounting sector veteran Pauline Wallace named UKEB’s first permanent chair
Accountancy sector veteran Pauline Wallace has been named as the first permanent chair of the UK Endorsement Board (UKEB).
The former PwC partner will start her three-year term as head of the body set up to ensure the UK complies with international accounting standards on 11 September 2022.
Following Brexit, the UKEB was set up to endorse and adopt international accounting standards, after responsibility for doing so was handed over to Britain from the EU.
Wallace was named interim chair of the UKEB in September 2020, and has subsequently led the establishment of the accountancy standards body.
Prior to taking on her role at the 11-member accounting board, Wallace previously spent 30 years working in the accountancy sector, in the UK and Hong Kong.
After retiring from her position as PwC’s head of public policy and regulatory affairs in 2013, Wallace took up positions on various bodies including the Pensions Regulator and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
In a statement, Wallace set out her intentions to “maintain the UK’s position as a thought leader and key influencer of international finance reporting”.
Lord Callanan, Minister for Corporate Responsibility, said: “Pauline has demonstrated strong leadership during her interim appointment, including overseeing the UKEB’s endorsement and adoption of IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, a transformative standard for the insurance industry. | https://www.cityam.com/accounting-sector-veteran-pauline-wallace-named-ukebs-first-permanent-chair/ | 2022-08-31T18:56:03Z | https://www.cityam.com/accounting-sector-veteran-pauline-wallace-named-ukebs-first-permanent-chair/ | false | 1 |
Judge nixes no-prison deal in 2018 New York limo crash that killed 20
Related video above: Limo crash that killed 20 partly caused by state agencies: NTSB
A judge rejected a plea agreement that would have meant no prison time for the operator of a limousine company involved in a crash that killed 20 people in upstate New York, drawing applause and tears Wednesday from victims’ relatives who packed the court.
Judge Peter Lynch, who was not presiding over the case when the deal was reached a year ago in Nauman Hussain's case, called the agreement “fundamentally flawed.”
It would have spared Hussain prison time, angering the families of the people killed when brake failure sent a stretch limo full of birthday revelers hurtling down a hill in 2018.
The judge’s rejection appeared to catch lawyers and relatives off-guard.
“I can’t even put into words how I feel. Totally unexpected. Thank God,” said Jill Richardson-Perez, the mother of limo crash victim Matthew Coons. “I’m in a better place now.”
Kevin Cushing, who lost his son Patrick in the crash, said the families “have a hope for a bit of justice to be served in the future, where we didn’t have any justice served in the past."
Hussain, who operated Prestige Limousine, had been charged with 20 counts each of criminally negligent homicide and second-degree manslaughter in what was the deadliest U.S. transportation disaster in a decade.
The agreement had called for Hussain to plead guilty only to the homicide counts, resulting five years of probation and 1,000 hours of community service. Lawyers for both sides said last year the plea agreement assured a resolution in a case that would have faced an uncertain outcome if presented to a jury.
While the National Transportation Safety Board concluded the crash was likely caused by Prestige Limousine’s “egregious disregard for safety” that resulted in brake failure, the board said ineffective state oversight contributed.
Lee Kindlon, an attorney for Hussain, has said his client tried to maintain the limousine and relied on what he was told by state officials and a repair shop that inspected it.
Axel Steenburg rented the 2001 Ford Excursion limousine for wife Amy’s 30th birthday on Oct. 6, 2018. The party group, ranging in age from 24 to 34, included Axel’s brother, Amy’s three sisters and two of their husbands, and close friends.
En route to a brewery, the limo’s brakes failed on a downhill stretch of road in Schoharie, west of Albany. The vehicle blew through a stop sign at over 100 mph and crashed into a small ravine.
The crash killed the limo driver, 17 passengers, and two bystanders outside the store.
Schoharie County District Attorney Susan Mallery’s office has said Hussain allowed passengers to ride in the limo despite having received “multiple notices of violations” from the state and having been told repairs were inadequate. State police said the vehicle should have been taken out of service because of brake problems identified in an inspection a month before the crash.
On Wednesday, Lynch said Hussain's actions show he knew the risk of putting the limousine on the road the day of the crash, and a guilty plea to only criminally negligent homicide does not reflect that.
Lynch specifically mentioned that a state Department of Transportation out-of-service sticker had been placed on the limousine a month before the crash. State police recovered the sticker from Hussain’s car after his arrest. Prosecutors have argued that Hussain took the sticker off the limo’s windshield so that he could rent it for more jobs.
Lynch gave Hussain’s lawyers the choice of accepting a sentence of 1 1/3 to four years in prison or withdrawing his guilty plea. They chose the latter.
The next court date has been set for Sept. 14. Hussain, who had been on interim probation, will go out on bail and be subject to GPS monitoring. | https://www.wyff4.com/article/new-york-2018-limo-crash-that-killed-20-judge-nixes-no-prison-deal/41042545 | 2022-08-31T18:56:09Z | https://www.wyff4.com/article/new-york-2018-limo-crash-that-killed-20-judge-nixes-no-prison-deal/41042545 | true | 22 |

BMG Revenue Up 25% For First Half 2022
August 31, 2022 at 10:15 AM (PT)
-
BMG first half 2022 financial results, released TODAY (8/31) aa part of parent BERTELSMANN's report, showed revenue for the music division up 25% to €370 million and Operating EBITDA increasing 46% to €73 million.
BMG CFO THOMAS COESFELD said, “The big news in these results is our 25% growth, our highest first-half growth rate to date. That’s good news not just for us, but also for our artist and songwriter clients because driving revenue growth for them is the key reason we are here. Of course there’s more to it than that - you also have to speed and optimize the flow of revenue onwards to clients. That’s the really difficult bit and that’s the focus of our attention right now. At a time when musicians are suffering, it’s not a bad thing to be known for your ability to collect and distribute money to artists and songwriters swiftly and efficiently.
“The commitment of our parent company to BMG has been incredible. When we announced our alliance with KKR last year, it was about amplifying our firepower in the market. In reality, because of the support of BERTELSMANN, we have needed less outside finance than expected and have done most deals alone. Naturally we still value our relationship with KKR and other financial partners and expect to do further deals with them in the future.
“The music market in 2022 is more fragmented than it’s been in two decades. That’s great news for artists and songwriters -- it gives them more choices – and it’s great news for anyone who wants to build a business. It’s less good news for anyone who wants to preserve a market position.” | https://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/221177/bmg-revenue-up-25-for-first-half-2022 | 2022-08-31T18:57:18Z | https://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/221177/bmg-revenue-up-25-for-first-half-2022 | true | 2 |

More Windsor residents are crossing the border into Detroit now that COVID-19 travel restrictions have been loosened and the September long weekend is a popular time to head over.
The CBSA is working with government and industry partners to mitigate long border wait times, but officials say there are also things that travellers can do to make the process easier for themselves and other travellers.
Travellers can help reduce wait times at the border by coming prepared and by completing their mandatory ArriveCAN submission within 72 hours before arriving at the border. Over 1.4 million travellers successfully used the ArriveCAN app last week.
Key tips for all travellers from the CBSA:
- Ensure you are eligible to enter Canada Foreign nationals must meet the admissibility requirements under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and provide appropriate travel and immigration documentation. Admissibility decisions on entry are made by a border services officer at the port of entry
- Understand the rules around COVID-19. There are still border measures in place for COVID-19. They vary depending on who is travelling—foreign nationals, returning residents or Canadian citizens. Answer a few questions to find out which requirements apply to you and if you can enter Canada
- Use ArriveCAN. Whether you are travelling by air, land or marine, all travellers, regardless of vaccination status, are required to submit their information in ArriveCAN (free as a mobile app or by accessing it on the CBSA website), up to 72 hours before entering Canada. ArriveCAN collects contact, health and travel information to protect the health and safety of travellers and expedite processing at the border. It is the fastest, easiest and most secure way for travellers to show they meet public health requirements
- Travellers must ensure they have the most up-to-date version of the ArriveCAN app (consult the Google Play Store or the App Store for iPhone)
- Travellers should print or take a screenshot of their ArriveCAN receipt and bring it with them when they travel
- Travellers without a smartphone or without mobile data can submit their information by signing in online through a computing device. If you use this website option, the technology ensures that your internet connection to ArriveCAN is secure. If travellers are unable to enter their information themselves, they can have a friend or family member enter the information for them
- Advance Declaration feature. Air travellers landing in Toronto (YYZ), Vancouver (YVR) and Montreal (YUL) airports, may use this feature in ArriveCAN (app or Web version) to complete their customs and immigrations declaration in advance of their arrival in Canada. Early usage data indicates that using the optional Advance CBSA Declaration cuts the amount of time a traveller spends at a kiosk by roughly one third. This feature will also become available at the Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Billy Bishop Toronto City, Ottawa, Québec City and Halifax international airports in the coming months
- Have all your documents ready. Travellers must have the following ready to present to the border services officer: their passport or travel documents and identification for all persons in the vehicle. You may also be asked to present your ArriveCAN receipt and proof of vaccination
- Plan ahead and check border wait times. Travellers crossing the border by land are encouraged to plan to cross during non-peak hours, such as early morning. The Monday of holiday long weekends tend to be the busiest, with longer border wait times
- Entering Canada by water. Unless exempt, all travellers entering Canada by water, must report their arrival to the CBSA without delay. All travellers, including those with a right of entry (Canadian citizens, permanent residents and persons registered under the Indian Act), must submit their mandatory information in ArriveCAN before, or when, entering Canada at a marine port of entry
- Be prepared to declare. Travellers returning to Canada must declare all goods purchased and/or received while outside the country. It is recommended that gifts not be wrapped as CBSA officers may need to examine them. Have your receipts readily available from purchases made outside of Canada
- Know your exemption limits. Returning residents planning to make purchases or pick up online purchases across the border should be aware of their exemption limits. Be sure to check the CBSA duty and taxes estimator to calculate taxes on goods purchased in the United States and to help make informed decisions when shopping abroad.
- Residents can bring back tax and duty free goods valued at CAN$200 after being away for 24 hours, and goods valued at CAN$800 after 48 hours. There are no personal exemptions for same-day cross-border shopping trips, so be prepared to pay tax on those purchases and possibly duty. Alcohol and tobacco allowances may also vary depending on your length of absence from Canada
- Declare any foods, plants, or animals such as raw poultry products and by-products that are not fully cooked, to the border services officer. There are currently restrictions on imports of live birds, bird products and by-products from states affected by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in the United States. Also declare all wood and wood products (including. firewood and wooden souvenirs). Be sure to check the Automated Import Reference System to help determine all specific import requirements
- Declare all currency and/or monetary instruments of CAN$10,000 or more. It is not illegal to bring such amounts into Canada, but it must be declared on arrival
- Cannabis. Don’t bring it in. Don’t take it out. Transporting cannabis across the border in any form, including any oils containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD), without a permit or exemption authorized by Health Canada remains a serious criminal offence subject to arrest and prosecution, despite the legalization of cannabis in Canada
- Know the contents of your vehicle. Travellers can consult the CBSA’s website for information on firearms and other restricted and prohibited goods
- Use the latest technology. Upon arrival at selected major airports in Canada, travellers can use a primary inspection kiosk or eGates to verify their travel documents, confirm their identity and complete an on-screen declaration
- Children. When travelling with children, it is recommended that the accompanying adult have a consent letter authorizing them to travel with the child. Border services officers are always watching for missing children, and in the absence of the letter, officers may ask additional questions, to help them identify the relationship between the child and the accompanying adult.

Box of reptiles mailed to the wrong address in New York
Published: Aug. 31, 2022 at 2:57 PM EDT|Updated: moments ago
PORT CHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Several live lizards were wrongly delivered to a residence in a village north of New York City.
“Needless to say the addressee was quite startled when they opened the box,” Port Chester police wrote on Facebook.
Police received the call about the reptiles just after noon on Saturday. They posted a picture on Sunday of three dark-colored lizards held in a large white container. It was not immediately clear whether there were more reptiles not pictured.
“If you lost your lizards and iguanas we have them at the police department,” police wrote.
They said they held the animals until a local animal sanctuary could pick them up for safekeeping.

Back in 2019, P.J. Fleck, Kirk Ciarrocca and Tanner Morgan combined to make some sweet music, a trio that delivered the college football equivalent of a top-10 album, a couple of huge hits and entertaining tracks but work that finished just short of winning a Grammy.
From the field-rushing upset of Penn State and the physical dominance over Auburn in the Outback Bowl, that Gophers trio of coach, offensive coordinator and quarterback clicked in a season that finished with an 11-2 record and No. 10 final ranking, Minnesota's best in 57 years. Of course, the trio had plenty of help from NFL-bound wide receivers Tyler Johnson and Rashod Bateman.
But with Gophers football popularity at a recent peak, the band broke up, with Ciarrocca leaving for his home state of Pennsylvania to coordinate the offense for Penn State. Fleck replaced him with Mike Sanford Jr., who would have some success in two years at Minnesota but never truly meshed.
“It's been fun to watch the camaraderie he has with the offense and the confidence they have in what we're doing.”
Now Ciarrocca has returned to join Fleck and Morgan, a sixth-year senior, in getting the offense and especially the passing game back on track. They'll get their first reviews Thursday night when the Gophers open the 2022 season against New Mexico State, coached by old frenemy Jerry Kill, at Huntington Bank Stadium.
"It really feels very comfortable for me here,'' Ciarrocca said. "It's a lot different than it is when you go somewhere and you weren't familiar with the culture or the players.''
Back to the comfort zone
Fleck is entering his sixth season as Gophers coach and his ninth coaching with Ciarrocca, who spent the 2021 season as an offensive analyst for West Virginia. Their reunion seemed inevitable once Fleck fired Sanford at the end of the regular season. Two snapshots in Gophers history under Fleck show how the coach arrived at his decision and what things might be like with Ciarrocca again tutoring Morgan and being a valuable sounding board for Fleck.
The most recent episode came Dec. 28, when the Gophers defeated West Virginia 18-6 in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl in Phoenix. Fleck already had hired Ciarrocca away from the Mountaineers, and Fleck and West Virginia coach Neal Brown reached a deal that had Ciarrocca sit out this game. Co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Matt Simon served as the primary play-caller.
The Gophers dispatched West Virginia with their familiar run-based attack operating behind a veteran offensive line that tenderized the opponent's midsection with repeated body blows. Minnesota rushed 51 times for 249 yards, hogged the ball for 38 minutes, 29 seconds and attempted only 13 passes. The Gophers even used 380-pound offensive tackle Daniel Faalele at running back, and the big fella bulled his way into the end zone for a touchdown.
Afterward, Fleck sounded almost apologetic for the method of the victory.
"I know we didn't throw the ball particularly a lot this year. I'm very aware of that,'' he said. "That does not mean we're not going to throw the ball next year.''
Fleck knows the passing game needs to be much more dynamic in 2022 for the Gophers to win the Big Ten West Division and play in a bowl of higher stature. The offensive line and run game dominance didn't happen every game, and the upset losses to Bowling Green and Illinois exploited a weakness as Morgan threw a combined four interceptions and was sacked 10 times.
The Gophers, who rushed the ball 70% of the time and passed it 30% last year on their way to a 9-4 record, at times looked like a service academy without the fun of running the Wishbone.
During training camp, Morgan focused on his accuracy and Ciarrocca fined-tuned the details that the Gophers hope will result in a more dynamic attack, be it by land or air. Certainly, they want to have a more balanced run-pass mix like they had in 2019, when they ran the ball 63.4% of the time and passed it 36.6%.
Ciarrocca, though, put his spin on what he considers a balanced offense.
"If we need to run for 300 yards to win the game, we'll run for 300 yards,'' he said. "And if we need to throw for 350 and run for 150, that's what we'll be able to do. When I've been in charge of offenses that have been really good, that's what we've been able to do.''
Pushing to be better
Morgan, who'll be starting his 40th game for the Gophers, is comfortable working with Ciarrocca again, trying to pick up where they left off.
"It was a really good feeling for everybody back here,'' Morgan said. "He pushes us every day to be at our best. … The standard is the standard, and he definitely upholds the standard for your offense.''
Morgan at his peak in 2019 was something special. He had the best statistical season in school history, setting program records for passing yards (3,253), touchdown passes (30) and completion percentage (66%, 210-for-318), among others. The sky looked the limit with Morgan.
That, however, didn't materialize. Ciarrocca left for Penn State, and the offense suffered. The Gophers, who scored 34.1 points per game in 2019, dropped to 27.3 in 2020 and 25.5 last year.
Sanford helped Mohamed Ibrahim emerge as the 2020 Big Ten Running Back of the Year when he rushed for more than 1,000 yards in seven games, but Morgan's passing yards per game fell to 196.3 in 2020 and 157.2 last year. The Gophers passed an average of 19.8 times per game in 2021 – fourth-to-last nationally.
A victorious suggestion
The second historical snapshot to remember when assessing Ciarrocca's influence came in 2018 on a Friday night against Indiana. The Gophers, in Morgan's first career start, built a 31-9 lead only to see the Hoosiers rally to tie the score 31-31 in the fourth quarter. With 1:40 to play, the Gophers took over at their 33-yard line, and Ciarrocca had a suggestion for Fleck.
"Coach Ciarrocca said, 'Hey, Coach, you mind if we end this game?' '' Fleck said. "I said, 'I don't mind if we end this game. Whaddya talking about? You wanna take a knee and go overtime?' ''
No, Ciarrocca had a play in mind. The Gophers ran play-action slant patterns all game, but this time Ciarrocca had Bateman run a slant-and-go route from the slot. Bateman made a jab step to sell the slant but sprinted past the Hoosiers defender and collected Morgan's pass in stride for the winning 67-yard touchdown connection.
“If we need to run for 300 yards to win the game, we'll run for 300 yards. And if we need to throw for 350 and run for 150, that's what we'll be able to do.”
That serves as an example of how the 57-year-old Ciarrocca can be a valuable counterbalance for his 41-year-old boss. Fleck and Sanford didn't have a coaching history together, but Ciarrocca once was Fleck's superior at Rutgers.
Ever since hiring Ciarrocca in December, Fleck has spoken of how seamless the transition has been.
"It doesn't feel like a second time around; it really doesn't,'' Fleck said. "… It's been fun to watch the camaraderie he has with the offense and the confidence they have in what we're doing.'' | https://m.startribune.com/kirk-ciarrocca-gophers-offensive-coordinator-passing-game-tanner-morgan-p-j-fleck/600202289/ | 2022-08-31T19:04:32Z | https://m.startribune.com/kirk-ciarrocca-gophers-offensive-coordinator-passing-game-tanner-morgan-p-j-fleck/600202289/ | false | 2 |
Five cheapest Vancouver homes listed for under $500,000 (PHOTOS)
If expensive living in Vancouver has got you down, we’re bringing you some of the cheapest homes to buy that have recently been made available in the city that never cheaps.
Believe it or not, despite how expensive it is to own real estate in Vancouver, there are exceptions, quite a few in fact.
Roomvu has compiled a list of the five cheapest homes to buy in Vancouver as of August, and it calls affordable housing a “precious gift.”
“This proves that living spaces can be tastefully done and wallet-friendly without trimming on convenience or views! And for those who have a little more in their bank, these places are also investment-worthy!”

- Mount Pleasant named the 40th coolest neighbourhood in the world
310-1545 East 2nd Avenue ($322,000)
This charming and cozy studio is the cheapest of the bunch.
Listed by Rennie & Associates Realty Ltd., this building built in 1976 has been well maintained. While it only features 436 sq ft of space, it could make for a decent and affordable home.
The building is a short walking distance away from one of Vancouver’s favourite neighbourhoods, Commercial Drive. What it lacks in size or number of rooms, it makes up for with its character and cleanliness.
The building has received a bunch of upgrades since 2014 including a new paint job, a new water heater, and an elevator upgrade. A parking space and storage locker are included.
602-1850 Comox Street ($350,000)
For $28,000 more than the previous listing, you get slightly more space, a private bedroom, and a location that’s just as desirable.
1850 Comox Street was built in 1968. Listed by Royal Pacific Realty Corp., the unit for sale features 590 sq ft, one bedroom, and one bathroom.
The building is just a block away from English Bay, Stanley Park, and tons of bars and restaurants.
This specific unit recently got a fresh coat of paint, receives lots of natural light, and includes an indoor pool and an exercise room among other amenities.
302-1330 Burrard Street ($439,900)
The next unit on the list is another studio, a concrete condo in the heart of downtown Vancouver. It’s ever so slightly bigger than the other studio on this list, featuring 469 sq ft of space. The unit was built in 1982 and is currently listed by Oakwyn Realty Ltd.
There have also been updates to this studio unit, which now features granite countertops. There’s even a balcony.
It’s hard to beat this unit when it comes to location. While the unit is smaller sized, it also will offer you much smaller mortgage payments.
302-825 East 7th Avenue ($449,000)
This bachelor suite built in 1979 was listed by RE/MAX City Realty, and it’s apparently a lot bigger than it looks according to the listing.
While it only offers 423 sq ft of space, the floor plan maximizes the use of that limited area.
The building has also received upgrades within the last 15 years like a new boiler, vinyl windows, new balconies, and new sliding doors. The building is located in the super cool neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant.
1302-3489 Ascot Place ($469,000)
Last but not least (because technically it’s the most expensive) is this one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment near Joyce Station.
The unit also features a balcony, a parking space, and a storage unit. Pictures suggest the unit allows for lots of natural light to flow in.
Built in 1994, this specific unit features 548 sq ft of space.
Listed by Emily Oh Realty, the listing states that the layout is functional, and perfect for a first-time buyer.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kiwi Biosciences, the Y Combinator-funded biotech startup making food painless, launches the next generation FODZYME®, a novel patent-pending enzyme supplement helping people enjoy their favorite foods, wherever they are. Low-FODMAP certified by Monash University, FODZYME breaks down common gut symptom triggers found in garlic, onion, wheat and other popular foods. These compounds, called FODMAPs, are particularly problematic for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which affects 15% of the global population.
FODZYME® On-the-Go contains 33% more enzymatic activity, making it extra powerful, and comes in portable single-dose stick packs with moisture-resistant sealing technology to maximize enzyme stability in all environments.
As a targeted alternative to the restrictive low-FODMAP approach, the FODZYME formula consists of lactase, alpha-galactosidase, and fructan hydrolase. These specialized enzymes break down the FODMAPs lactose, galacto-oligosaccharides, and fructan, respectively. When sprinkled on or mixed with high-FODMAP meals, FODZYME powder facilitates optimal enzyme interaction with problem foods.
Fructan is arguably the biggest contributor to gut symptoms (and hardest to avoid). Accordingly, FODZYME's novel fructan hydrolase is at the focal point of its scientific validation. As proven by a series of in-vitro experiments, less than 10% of fructan remains in the simulated stomach after 30 minutes with FODZYME. In a simulated microbiome, FODZYME also demonstrated to reduce, but not eliminate, healthy fermentation, making it a possibly better long-term alternative to avoiding FODMAPs altogether.
Developed in Cambridge by Harvard alumni Anjie Liu and David Hachuel, MPH, FODZYME has sold out twice since launching in the US in 2021. It has since expanded to Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Europe through retail partners.
Backed by Y Combinator, Kiwi Biosciences is a human-centered biotech company creating elegant scientific solutions for extraordinary gut relief. Through cutting-edge research, they develop novel enzymes that catalyze a shift in how people approach food.
Working with world-class experts in enzymology, biotechnology, medicine, and nutrition, they prioritize the clinical validation of their products, which was highlighted by the Harvard Innovation Labs and the American Gastroenterological Association Institute Council as part of Digestive Disease Week 2022.
On a mission to make food painless, Kiwi Biosciences is working on a polyol-targeting formulation and advancing novel enzyme technologies to address all FODMAPs. The solution in development will transform polyols like sorbitol and mannitol into sugars more readily absorbed in the gut.

Packers signing RBs Patrick Taylor, Tyler Goodson to practice squad
Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur revealed Wednesday that running backs Patrick Taylor and Tyler Goodson have both signed back to the team’s practice squad.
The Packers released Taylor and Goodson on Tuesday and kept only two running backs – Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon – on the team’s initial 53-man roster. LaFleur said Taylor and Goodson will both be options as game-day call-ups from the practice squad as the Packers attempt to navigate a four-week window while Kylin Hill is on the PUP list.
General manager Brian Gutekunst also mentioned receiver Amari Rodgers as an option in the backfield early in the season.
Taylor, who played in eight games for the Packers last season, brings a physical inside running presence, pass-blocking trust and special teams value, while Goodson – an undrafted rookie out of Iowa – was electric with the ball in his hands, both as a runner and receiver, during the preseason.
Taylor rushed 18 times for 71 yards and caught three passes for 17 yards during the preseason, while Goodson rushed 28 times for a team-high 107 yards and a 24-yard touchdown and caught eight passes for 60 yards.

WASHINGTON — 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 — and help tamp down the BA.5 omicron relative that continues to spread widely.
“These updated boosters present us with an opportunity to get ahead” of the next COVID-19 wave, said FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf.
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, 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 Associated Press.
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.
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. Moderna didn’t immediately say how many doses are ready to ship but that some will be available “in the coming days.”
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 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 changes to flu shots.
FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks stressed the agency considered “the totality” of evidence. Pfizer and Moderna have previously brewed vaccine doses updated to match earlier mutants — including the omicron strain named BA.1 that struck last winter — and tested them in people. Those earlier recipe changes were safe, and the BA.1 version substantially boosted virus-fighting antibodies — more than another dose of the original vaccine — although fewer that recognized today’s genetically distinct BA.4 and BA.5 strains.
But instead of using those BA.1 shots, FDA ordered the companies to brew even more up-to-date doses that target those newest omicron mutants, sparking a race to roll them out. Rather than waiting a few more months for additional human studies of that very similar recipe tweak, Marks said animal tests showed the latest update spurs “a very good immune response.”
“One needs to refresh the immune system with what is actually circulating,” Marks said. That’s why FDA also is no longer authorizing boosters made with the original recipe for those 12 and older.
The hope, Marks 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. | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/08/31/us-clears-updated-covid-boosters-targeting-newest-variants/ | 2022-08-31T19:16:51Z | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/08/31/us-clears-updated-covid-boosters-targeting-newest-variants/ | false | 82 |
A Saudi woman has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for her social media posts, in the second case of its kind this month, activists say.
A terrorism court convicted Nourah bint Saeed al-Qahtani of "using the internet to tear the social fabric" and "violating public order by using social media", rights group Dawn reported.
Little is known about her other than that she criticized Saudi leaders.
Another woman was jailed for 34 years over her Twitter activity on 9 August.
Abdullah Alaoudh, director of research for the Gulf region at Dawn, told the BBC's Newshour programme that the US-based group had learnt of Qahtani's case only after being passed court documents by a judicial source, and that it was continuing to investigate.
"Nothing in her court documents pertains to any violence or criminal activity," he said.
"The charges against her are really broad. They are using the counter-terrorism law and the anti-cybercrime law... that can criminalise any posting that is even remotely critical of the government," he added.
Several other female activists have reportedly been detained in relation to social media posts since last year. Mr Alaoudh said he feared that they could also be handed lengthy prison sentences.
"The Saudi government is sending a strong signal to the West that it does not care about human rights."
Mr Alaoudh warned that it was "impossible not to connect the dots" between US President Joe Biden's controversial meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed in Jeddah last month and "the uptick in the repressive attacks".
Mr Biden had previously vowed to make Saudi Arabia a "pariah" over its human rights record.
ALQST, a UK-based rights group, also expressed grave concern about Qahtani's sentence, which it said was "based on [her] tweets".
"As feared, we are witnessing an alarming deterioration of the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia," it added.
The Saudi Prisoners of Conscience account also tweeted that it had confirmation of the sentence, but there was no immediate comment from Saudi authorities.
Earlier in August, Salma al-Shehab, a Saudi PhD student at Leeds University, was jailed for 34 years.
She was arrested while on holiday in Saudi Arabia in January 2021, and was found guilty of "providing succour to those seeking to disrupt public order" and "publishing false and tendentious rumours".
Before leaving England, the 34-year-old mother of two had called for reforms and the release of prominent activists and intellectuals imprisoned under a crackdown on dissent overseen by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Shehab's prison term was believed to be the longest ever handed to a peaceful activist in the country until Qahtani's was reported. | https://ghanaguardian.com/saudi-woman-jailed-for-45-years-over-social-media-posts | 2022-08-31T19:19:09Z | https://ghanaguardian.com/saudi-woman-jailed-for-45-years-over-social-media-posts | true | 7 |
GENEVA (AP) — China's top U.N. envoy said Beijing remains “firmly opposed” to the release of a long-anticipated report about Xinjiang from the office of U.N. human rights chief Michelle Bachelet, just hours before her self-imposed deadline for its publication was set to expire Wednesday — her last day on the job.
Ambassador Zhang Jun said China had repeatedly told Bachelet, whom China welcomed in May for a trip that included a visit Xinjiang, that Beijing did not want the report to be released — and echoed a string of Chinese claims that Western pressure on her was to blame if the report does get out.
“We haven’t seen this report yet, but we are completely opposed to such a report, we do not think it will produce any good to anyone," Zhang told reporters outside the Security Council. ”We have made it very clear to the high commissioner and in a number of other occasions that we are firmly opposed to such a report.”
“We all know so well that the so-called Xinjiang issue is a completely fabricated lie out of political motivations, and its purpose is definitely to undermine China’s stability and to obstruct China’s development,” he added.
Beijing’s demands to keep a lid on a report have fanned a tug-of-war for diplomatic influence with the West over the rights of the region’s native Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic groups.
The report, which Western diplomats and U.N. officials said was all but ready for months, was unlikely to plumb significant new ground beyond the string of findings from independent advocacy groups and journalists who have documented concerns about human rights in Xinjiang for years.
But Bachelet’s report comes with the imprimatur of the United Nations, and the member states that make it up. The run-up to its release fueled a debate over China’s influence at the world body and epitomized the diplomatic chill between Beijing and the West over human rights, among other sore spots.
Bachelet said in recent months that she received pressure from both sides to publish – or not publish – the report and resisted it all, treading a fine line all the while noting her experience with political pressure during her two terms as president of Chile.
In June, Bachelet said she would not seek a new term as rights chief, and promised the report would be released by her exit date on Aug. 31. That led to a swell of back-channel campaigns — including letters from civil society, civilians and governments on both sides of the issue.
She hinted last week her office might miss her deadline, saying it was “trying” to release it before her exit.
Over the past five years, the Chinese government’s mass detention campaign in Xinjiang swept an estimated 1 million Uyghurs and other ethnic groups into a network of prisons and camps, which Beijing called “training centers,” but former detainees described as brutal detention centers.
Beijing has since closed many of the camps, but hundreds of thousands of people continue to languish in prison on vague, secret charges.

At GFA’s 28th Ordinary Congress: Sports Minister urges FA to invest in local game
The Minister for Youth and Sports, Mr Mustapha Ussif, has urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA), to invest in the local league in a bid to improve the standard to ensure success in the CAF Confederations and Champions League.
“I want to urge the President to invest in our domestic game to enhance their performance in Africa. What the Black Galaxies exhibited over the weekend showed that we have great potentials and when we put in our best, they will replicate same performance as they compete with their counterparts.”
According to Mr Ussif, the government has taken a bold step to play their part by paying an amount $136,000 into an investment fund for the Black Satellites as the sector will continue to do same to other national teams and other sporting disciplines.
“The government has gone into a partnership where all 26 players will receive $5,000 each to ensure it grows for their development through an Insurance Policy with Gemini Life Insurance Company (GLICO).
Speaking at the GFA 28th Ordinary Congress in Prampram yesterday, Mr Ussif also tasked the FA to organise capacity building and empower the technical brains and coaches to enhance their development.
“To develop our game, capacity building and empowerment should be organised very often for our coaches and technical handlers to enhance their progress. They need this to compete at the highest level,” he added.
He further advised the football governing body to take part in International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) and Confederation of African Football (CAF) initiatives to improve the management of our game.
The sector Minister urged all to use football as tool for unity in Ghana since it is a discipline that binds nations together, whilst applauding the GFA for taking action against clubs and individuals who were found culpable in cases of match manipulation.
“We have to ensure unity among ourselves and that can only be achieved through the game of sports. Unity aids development and there is the need to stay united even outside the game.”
Mr Ussif pledged government’s continuous support to enhance the development of sports in all disciplines.

David Crosby has lived one hell of a life. Having played in the seminal blues-rock groups the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (and Young), Crosby would wake things to the limit with his drug use but, thankfully, was able to out on the other side, still able to tell the tale. One fascinating anecdote in the life of David Crosby is the moment he witnessed the great saxophonist John Coltrane play in a toilet.
Crosby said of the incident: “I was very high, and [Elvin Jones] drove me out of my chair. Elvin Jones is a very intense motherfucker. He started getting real intense and drove me out of my chair. Up against the back wall of the club, I’m sat there thinking, ‘Ahhhh, I can’t, oh golly’. It got to be too much for me, so I went to the men’s room”.
He added, “I got my head against this puke green tile; I can still remember the colour of the tile. And I think, ‘okay, it’s gonna be alright, just get it together now, it’s gonna be okay, you’re in Indianapolis’. BAM! Somebody kicks the door open. BAM! It’s Coltrane. He’s kicked the door open because he’s [sax screech and then some]. Playing at the most intense level you could ever imagine in your life”.
It must be terrifying for someone on an intense high, seeking a bit of solace in the cool refines of the men’s bathroom, to be greeted by one of the most intense jazz musicians of all time. All Crosby wanted was to calm down and get his head together, but things were made all the worse.
Crosby continued, “He never stopped soloing. He’s still soloing. And he’s like burning in this bathroom. He doesn’t even know I’m there. He never even saw me. I’m thinking, ‘I’m gonna slide right down this tile’. I’m thinking, ‘my nose is gonna open, and my brain is gonna rush out onto the floor’. It was so intense. I never heard anyone be more intense with music than that in my life”.
One of Crosby’s best-known songs, ‘Déjà Vu’, also features many jazz influences. Crosby said of the song, “That really odd 6/8 beginning, with a kind of a 4 feel to it, that probably came directly out of jazz. The chord structures came out of the tuning, which came out of jazz. So I think it’s legit”.
He added, “The influences were going in both directions back then. Miles [Davis] was listening to singer-songwriter music and pulling it into the jazz idiom. You hear us listening to John Coltrane, and we pull his horn style into a rock-and-roll song. It happened a lot. That’s how new music happens. You take two extremes, and you synthesise a new one out of those”.

The bourbon boom is showing no signs of ending anytime soon: Wall Street is still wild about whiskey. Jack Daniel's owner Brown-Forman reported quarterly results Wednesday morning that easily topped analysts' forecasts.
Sales were up 11%, to $1 billion, surpassing estimates of $978 million. Profits surged 30% to $249 million, or 52 cents a share. Analysts were predicting earnings to come in at 47 cents a share.
What's more, consumers seem willing to splurge on higher-priced bourbon, despite worries about inflation and an economic slowdown. Sales of Brown-Forman's premium brands, which include Old Forester and Woodford Reserve, were up 35% from a year ago.
"While there is continued uncertainty in the market, I remain optimistic we can continue this momentum and deliver on both short- and long-term growth ambitions," said Brown-Forman president and CEO, Lawson Whiting, in the earnings release.
Shares of Brown-Forman rose slightly Wednesday. The stock is up a bit for the year and has gained about 10% in the past three months, even as the broader market has tumbled and other alcoholic beverage stocks such as Anheuser-Busch, Boston Beer, Constellation Brands, Molson Coors and Diageo have lagged.
The company also has embraced the cocktail-in-a-can craze and found success with beverages such as Jack and Coke in a can, the result of a partnership with Coca-Cola. Brown-Forman said Wednesday that sales of its so-called "Ready-to-Drink/Ready-to-Pour" beverages rose 12% from a year ago, led by strong demand from Australia and Germany.
"Brown-Forman has endured because we have some of the most attractive spirits brands in some of the most desirable categories, and we continue to innovate and expand our portfolio," Whiting said on a conference call with analysts.
Inflation concerns and broader fears about the economy do not appear to be having a major impact on demand for liquor either. Consumers, no longer as worried about the pandemic, are once again taking vacations ... and imbibing while doing so.
In fact, Brown-Forman noted that strong demand for booze at airports and on cruise ships also helped lift sales. Revenue from the company's travel segment, which includes duty-free stores, surged 77% from a year ago.
Chief Financial Officer Leanne Cunningham said on the conference call that while travel-related sales have "not yet fully recovered to pre-Covid levels ...[they continue] to close the gap."
Cunningham did concede that "we do remain cautious given the potential impact of inflation and rising energy prices on consumer spending" and added that higher prices for commodities will remain a "headwind." But that is clearly not putting a huge dent into profits just yet.

The Dollar edged higher against most of its rival as traders priced in elevated interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve.
Fedwatch, a tool for gauging the odds of a rate hike (or cut) ahead of an FOMC statement, saw interest rate traders increase bets for a 75 basis-point rate hike in September to 74.5% from 66.5% following the higher-than-expected US CB Consumer Confidence report.
US bond yields rose with the benchmark 10-year rate settling at 3.10% (3.04% yesterday). It was the highest close since late June and comes ahead of this week’s US Payrolls report. Keep an eye on those bond yields.
Friday sees the release of US August Payrolls report which is the highlight of the week. Recall that July’s Non-Farms Payrolls rocketed up to 528,000. Economists are forecasting a median drop back to a more realistic 300,000.
The one exception was the Euro, which managed modest gains after holding above parity, to 1.0015. The supersized climb in Germany’s inflation report buoyed the shared currency.
EUR/USD – Has edged higher as this report is written, currently trading at 1.0030. Look for immediate resistance at 1.0050 followed by 1.0080 to cap further gains. On the downside, the shared currency has immediate support at 1.00 followed by 0.9970. Look for the Euro to consolidate in a likely 0.9975-1.0075 range today. Could see further Euro strength heading into the US NFP report. More a buyer of Euro dips today.
GBP/USD – The British currency couldn’t find any friends despite a stronger Euro and was pounded lower to 1.1652 close. Early Asia has seen steady buying of Sterling at the 1.1650 level and currently trades at 1.1672. Immediate resistance lies at 1.1680 followed by 1.1710. Immediate support is found at 1.1640 and 1.1610. Look for the British currency to trade a likely range today of 1.1640-1.1740. Further short covering could see this higher.
AUD/USD – The Aussie Dollar tumbled under the weight of broad-based US Dollar strength, weaker commodity prices and overall bearish sentiment. Overnight, the AUD/USD pair traded to a low at 0.6846 before settling at 0.6853 in late New York. Immediate support today lies at 0.6840 followed by 0.6810. On the topside, immediate resistance is found at 0.6880 and 0.6910. Likely trading range today 0.6830-0.6930. Prefer to buy dips.
USD/JPY – The Greenback finished at 138.80 Yen boosted by the higher US bond yields. Overnight high traded was at 139.08. This morning, Asia sees USD/JPY edge lower to its current 138.53 level. Immediate support lies at 138.30 followed by 138.10 and 137.80. Immediate resistance can be found at 139.10 and 139.40. Look for consolidation in this currency pair, likely range today 138.30-139.30. Neutral here, trade the range.

If you have gone to the pump recently, perhaps you have noticed the sticker price of gas dropping each day. Across the country, the average price for a gallon of gas has fallen for 76 straight days, the second-longest streak on record dating back to 2005.
It was less than three months ago when the average price of a gallon of gas nationally was $5.02, the highest number on record. Today, that number is much lower: $3.84, as of August 31. According to AAA, and those who understand the oil industry, it will likely continue to drop.
“Sixty percent of that price is based off what crude oil is going for,” said Skyler McKinley of AAA Colorado. “We have seen crude oil plummet significantly in the past several months and that has been tied to the decrease in gas prices.”
Crude oil is a raw natural resource that is taken from the earth and then refined into usable fuel like gas. Like most commodities, it is traded on the market at various prices that are determined by supply and demand, and currently, demand is not great—meaning its price, much like the price of gas, has been falling.
“Fundamentally, there are jitters about a global recession that has made investments in crude not that wise,” said McKinley. “Of course, we use a lot less oil if we are entering into a recession, and the markets are reacting in kind. Consumption has fallen. Americans have changed their driving behaviors. AAA surveys show up to 65% of drivers have changed their behaviors, not just because of the high price of gas, but because of the high price of just about everything. They’ve decided and planned their lives to use less gas.”
This map from AAA shows the average price for a gallon of gas across every state in the country. In 19 states, most of them in the Northeast and West, gas prices are higher than the national average of $3.84. The cheapest gas you will find in the country is in the South, where a typical gallon will run you just over $3.40, according to AAA.
In a few weeks, the US gas supply will switch over to winter blend fuel as it does every fall. It provides a little less energy, but Americans drive less during the winter. AAA says that will knock off an additional $0.10 or so from what you are paying at the pump. | https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/national/gas-prices-are-falling-at-a-historic-rate-heres-why-experts-say-it-will-continue | 2022-08-31T19:44:46Z | https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/national/gas-prices-are-falling-at-a-historic-rate-heres-why-experts-say-it-will-continue | true | 22 |

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

NEW CAMPAIGN FROM ARCUTIS AIMS TO EXPOSE THE IMPACT OF PSORIASIS ON PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING
Launched during Psoriasis Action Month, campaign provides tips and tools for speaking about psoriasis with healthcare providers, family, and friends
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARQT) today announced the launch of an educational campaign designed to raise awareness about the physical and emotional impact of plaque psoriasis and empower those living with the disease to have open, honest conversations with their healthcare providers, family, and friends. The campaign, called Expose Psoriasis, features expert advice from a leading dermatologist and the personal story and tips from an award-winning writer and psoriasis patient advocate.
Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/9045652-arcutis-expose-psoriasis-campaign/
"Psoriasis can have a significant impact on all aspects of life, and can affect people in ways that may be unexpected, physically, mentally, and emotionally1," said Frank Watanabe, President and CEO of Arcutis. "Unfortunately, those with psoriasis may have difficulty discussing the full impact of their disease with their loved ones, or even their dermatology specialists, due to stigma, embarrassment, or possibly not realizing how psoriasis may be affecting them. Through Expose Psoriasis, Arcutis hopes to encourage these conversations so people with psoriasis are able to receive the appropriate treatment, care, and support that they need."
Expose Psoriasis illuminates how plaque psoriasis may significantly impact many aspects of daily life, including day-to-day decisions such as what to wear, participation in social activities, and interpersonal relationships. The campaign also aims to raise awareness that symptoms may occur anywhere on the body, including knees, elbows, torso, and sensitive places like the face, genitals, and areas of skin-to-skin contact (intertriginous areas), such as armpits, under the breasts, stomach folds, between the buttocks, and in the groin area.
Psoriasis occurring on the genitals and in intertriginous areas may look different compared to plaques on other areas of the body, and therefore may be challenging to recognize or diagnose.2 A recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll found that 2 in 5 survey respondents with psoriasis in intertriginous areas did not recognize they had intertriginous psoriasis until they saw pictures of intertriginous plaques.3
"People who experience psoriasis in more private parts of the body, such as on the genitals or intertriginous areas, may feel reluctant or embarrassed to show their dermatology specialist these areas. Additionally, since most people typically think a dermatology visit is only for discussing the physical aspects of their skin, those with psoriasis may not realize that they should be sharing how the disease is impacting their emotional and mental wellbeing," explained Tina Bhutani, M.D., leading dermatologist and co-director of the UCSF Psoriasis and Skin Treatment Center. "It's so important for people to tell their healthcare providers about all the ways psoriasis impacts them because there are many treatment options and resources available that can help. Understanding the full impact of the disease allows dermatology specialists to determine the best course of action to care for our patients."
Expose Psoriasis also addresses the value of having a support network and provides talking points that people can use to discuss their disease with their loved ones.
"Psoriasis can have an impact on your relationships with others, and talking about your symptoms with loved ones can be difficult, but it's so important to do so," explained Sabrina Skiles, award-winning writer and psoriasis patient advocate. "Remember, your family and friends are there to support you, not judge you. By sharing your story with them and educating them about the disease, you are normalizing the topic and strengthening your support network."

About PsoriasisPsoriasis is a common, non-contagious, immune-mediated skin disease that affects approximately nine million people in the United States.4 Individuals with psoriasis typically develop "plaques," or raised, red areas of skin covered with a silver or white layer of dead skin cells. The clinical presentation of plaques in people with diverse skin tones may have more grayish, purplish, or brownish tones. Psoriatic plaques are often itchy and sometimes painful and can appear on any area of the body. Plaques in certain anatomical areas present unique treatment challenges, including the face, elbows and knees, scalp, and intertriginous areas (where two skin areas may touch or rub together).
About ArcutisArcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQT) is a medical dermatology company that champions meaningful innovation to address the urgent needs of individuals living with immune-mediated dermatological diseases and conditions. With a commitment to solving the most persistent patient challenges in dermatology, Arcutis harnesses our unique dermatology development platform coupled with our dermatology expertise to build differentiated therapies against biologically validated targets.

Ex-Generals are threatening me with CIA — Wike
Governor Nyelsom Wike of Rivers State on Wednesday accused some unnamed retired generals of threatening him with the Central Intelligence Agency, CIA, if he failed to do their biddings.
Governor, Wike, who neither named the ex-generals nor the demands they made on him, however, vowed that he would not do the biddings of anyone apart from what would benefit the generality of the Nigerian people.
This was as he charged some former generals to redirect their goodwill with the CIA to fighting insurgency in Nigeria rather than threatening him and his supporters with the American security outfit.
He said it was most unfortunate that the unnamed retired Generals would turn their “contacts” with the CIA to fight an individual rather than use same to confront the issue of insecurity bedevilling the country.
Wike made the disclosure while flagging off the construction work of Igwuruta internal roads in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state, which was performed by Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, the governor of Abia State.
“Some people threatened that they are former generals, they are close to the CIA in America and they can deal with us. I said listen, no problem. If you are close to the American CIA, why don’t you use it to solve the Boko Haram problem? Is it on my body (me) that you’ll use it? Nigeria has a serious problem and you are close to the CIA, you know them as former generals, so why not use that contact and solve Nigeria’s problem?
“You want to use it to threaten me. Who are you that I should come and do your own biddings? I say no to that. I will do the biddings of Nigerians not the biddings of a few people who believe that if they are not there, it should be their children,” Wike stated.
He pointed out that if President Muhammadu Buhari does not renege on his pledge not to interfere with the conduct of the 2023 general elections, the All Progressives Congress will be doomed noting that such resolve means that President Buhari is serious about leaving an enduring legacy of conducting a free and fair election.
“I thank Mr President that he wants to leave a legacy of conducting a free and fair election.
“Thank God Mr President for saying that you will not interfere or intimidate anybody. That means your party has no way to win.”
He expressed doubt concerning the public promise made by the Independent National Electoral Commission( INEC) to deliver a better election to Nigerians saying “my problem is INEC, whether they will do what they said they will do. They are making promises now. I don’t know whether they will keep to it. If INEC will keep to the promises that Nigeria will get a better election, I will be so happy. Everybody will see with their eyes, that Abuja does not vote. It is the people here that will vote.”
Wike went on to stress the need for those seeking votes from Rivers electorate to courageously tell them what they will eventually benefit from such electoral support.
He said; “So, if you have given to Adamawa, you have given to Benue, you have given to Delta, would you not give Rivers? Is it just to collect our votes?”
Wike disassociated himself from such people who he said can do anything as agents set against their own people. He emphasised that no matter the enticement, he will never betray his or mortgage the interest of Rivers State.

World Cup 2022: completing football sticker album could cost more than £850
Collecting players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi could prove to be financially challenging ahead of the World Cup in Qatar
A football finance expert has claimed it could cost close to £900 to complete a football sticker album for the 2022 Fifa World Cup in finals in Qatar.
One popular way to mark such an event is to try and fill in a Panini sticker book. You can buy packs containing cards that include pictures of the stadium and players, with the objective to entirely fill the book and collect every card possible.
But, amid rising prices as the country braves the cost of living crisis, the prices of the packs have also risen.
Most Popular
Kieran Maguire, a football finance expert, has now warned that completing a sticker book for the Qatar World Cup could cost £883.80.
In total, there are 670 cards to collect in order to complete a book for the upcoming World Cup.
Assuming that you collected all 670 without any duplicates, which is almost impossible would cost you £120.60.
Kieran claims that there is a one in 669 chance of repeat stickers, saying that when all the maths is done, the total price of completing the book could cost almost £90.
He said: “If you put the numbers into a probability machine, that’s the way it works out.”
It could be enough to deter a lot of collectors off, with prices of energy, gas and other goods skyrocketing in the upcoming months. | https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/read-this/world-cup-2022-completing-football-sticker-album-could-cost-more-than-ps850-3826449 | 2022-08-31T20:05:39Z | https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/read-this/world-cup-2022-completing-football-sticker-album-could-cost-more-than-ps850-3826449 | false | 22 |
Racers Revving Up for 68th Annual Dodge Power Brokers NHRA US Nationals
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
- The Dodge Power Brokers U.S. Nationals, the National Hot Rod Association's (NHRA) cornerstone event and world's biggest and best known drag racing competition, takes place Aug. 31-Sept. 5 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park
- Memories of her 2020 runner-up performance at Indianapolis fuel Leah Pruett's desire to drive the Dodge Power Brokers dragster to her first "Big Go" victory and a second Top Fuel Wally trophy for Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) in their inaugural season
- After missing last year's event, TSR Funny Car pilot Matt Hagan returns with extra motivation to wheel his Dodge Power Brokers Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat to a repeat performance of his 2016 drive from No. 1 qualifier to the winner's circle at Indianapolis and in search of TSR's first U.S. Nationals win
- Dodge drivers Hagan and Cruz Pedregon will take part in the Pep Boys NHRA Funny Car All-Star Callout specialty race-within-a-race as part of qualifying on Sunday, September 4
- Dodge HEMI® Challenge returns for a 21st edition of the fan-favorite specialty race at Dodge Power Brokers U.S. Nationals
The world's biggest drag race and the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Camping World Drag Racing Series' marquee event, the prestigious 68th annual Dodge Power Brokers U.S. Nationals, is set for Aug. 31-Sept. 5 and ready to welcome thousands of racers and fans to Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.
"The Dodge Power Brokers U.S. Nationals event is NHRA's cornerstone showcase, providing a national stage on which to spotlight our Power Brokers program, the exclusive source for Dodge Direct Connection performance parts," said Dodge Brand Chief Executive Officer Tim Kuniskis. "This event has an incredible history and its evolution has been closely tied to the Dodge brand, our passion for performance and the development of both street and racing technology for our lineup of vehicles."
The Labor Day classic is the second of two premier NHRA events with Dodge Power Brokers headline support this season. The first took place in July at the Dodge Power Broker Mile-High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway near Denver and was won by Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) pilot Leah Pruett aboard her Dodge Power Brokers dragster. That Top Fuel win, combined with the memory of her 2020 runner-up performance at Indianapolis still fresh, add fuel to Pruett's desire to capture her first career Dodge Power Brokers U.S. Nationals victory and an Indy Wally trophy for TSR in their inaugural season.
"The last time we hit the track in our Dodge Power Brokers dragster, we turned on all four win lights on race day and had exceptional qualifying," said Pruett of her team's first Top Fuel win. "We expect to do the same thing as we tested at Indy earlier in the year and we do have what we think is a pretty good handle on a warm track tune up very similar to what we had on the Western swing. We intend to be able to use that at the Dodge Power Brokers U.S. Nationals, and really just get back on to our high-performing Dodge train."
Three-time Funny Car World Champion Matt Hagan returns to the Dodge Power Brokers U.S. Nationals with extra motivation after being sidelined at last year's event due to COVID-19. While his successes this year to date include three wins, three runner-up performances and five No. 1 Qualifier positions, Hagan is also looking to overcome some recent elimination round struggles. The driver of the Dodge Power Brokers Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat currently sits second in the Funny Car standings ahead of the 15th edition of the NHRA's "Countdown to the Championship" playoff series. Hagan is not just looking to muscle his way to the winner's circle before closing out the regular season, but also hoping to take home his second Wally from the historic race and the team's first.
"It's going to be a big race going into this year's Dodge Power Brokers U.S. Nationals with Tony Stewart Racing," said Hagan, who drove to the winner's circle from the No. 1 qualifier position in 2016. "Winning Indy is a really special, magical feeling. Indianapolis is one of those races you never want to leave the sport without winning. It's just a lot of excitement and build up through a long week for everybody. We definitely want to pull it down and have it be in the Dodge Power Brokers Charger SRT Hellcat Funny Car at our sponsor's title race."

A B.C. man has been charged after a quiet 911 call that got disconnected led police to finding a suspect inside a senior’s home in New Westminster.
Police responded to an abandoned 911 call from a Sapperton home at 6 a.m. on Aug. 29. According to police, the caller was whispering to the emergency operator before it cut off.

A man who was not known to the woman was found in the bedroom. He was arrested by police without incident, police said.
“This is an upsetting incident and we understand how deeply concerning this was for the victim as well as the community as a whole” stated Sgt. Justine Thom.
“We encourage residents to be cognizant of their home security as well as encourage people to call police if they witness any suspicious behaviour.”
The senior was not physically injured and was put in contact with victim services, police said.

After the speakers’ presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded.
I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today Sue Perram with Investor Relations. Please go ahead.
Sue Perram
Thank you, and good morning, everyone. I would like to thank each of you for joining us today for Brown-Forman’s first quarter fiscal year 2023 earnings call. Joining me today are Lawson Whiting, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Leanne Cunningham, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
This morning’s conference call contains forward-looking statements based on our current expectations. Numerous risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected in these statements. Many of the factors that will determine future results are beyond the company’s ability to control or predict. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, and except as required by law the company undertakes no obligation to update any of these statements, whether due to new information, future events or otherwise.
This morning, we issued a press release containing our results for the first quarter fiscal year 2023, in addition to posting presentation materials that Lawson and Leanne will walk through momentarily. Both the release and the presentation can be found on our website under the section titled Investors, Events and Presentations.
In the press release, we have listed a number of the risk factors you should consider in conjunction with our forward-looking statements. Other significant risk factors are described in our Form 10-K and Form 10-Q reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
During this call, we will be discussing certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and the reasons management believes they provide useful information to investors regarding the company’s financial conditions and results of operations are contained in the press release and investor presentaton.
With that, I would like to turn the call over to Lawson.
Lawson Whiting
Thank you, Sue, and good morning, everyone. As we began fiscal ‘23, our momentum continued and we delivered another quarter of double digit top line growth on both a reported and organic basis. We experienced strong consumer demand driven by increased travel and tourism, the gradual reopening of the on-premise internationally, as well as sustained premiumization trends.
In addition, as we indicated on our last conference call, in the first quarter, we benefited from an increase in distributor inventories as we continue to recover from supply chain disruptions and constraints that began impacting our results in the prior fiscal year. Supply chain disruptions continued to affect our business during the first quarter of fiscal ’23, while our glass supply improved, overall supply chain logistics and transportation continued to be constrained, which impacted our route to market and increased our costs.
As some headwinds turn to tailwinds, our gross margin expanded with favorable price mix and the removal of tariffs more than offsetting increased costs and the negative effect of foreign exchange. This improvement in our gross margin enabled us to further invest behind our brands and our people, while growing our bottom line ahead of the top line.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the start to our fiscal year and remain thankful to our Brown-Forman employees for their continued focus on growing our brands throughout the world. So this morning, I'll provide a few more details on the quarter and then I'll turn things over to Leanne.
Our reported top line growth increased 11% with organic growth increasing 17% after adjusting for foreign exchange headwinds. Organic net sales growth in the quarter was driven by continued growth -- strong growth for Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, Woodford Reserve and the Jack Daniel's RTDs. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey remains the lead driver of our growth as the brand continued to deliver double digit growth with an organic net sales increase of 21%, driven by strong consumer demand, higher pricing and favorable channel mix.
Second, our super premium American Whiskey portfolio increased organic net sales double digits. Woodford Reserve led this effort growing organic net sales 39% and reaffirming the strength of the trademark. As glass supply constraints ease and we increased our bottling capacity, we were better able to meet consumer demand for Woodford Reserve.
Also in May, we launched the first super premium Jack Daniel's line extension in a quarter of a century. The new Jack Daniel's Bonded Tennessee Whiskey and Jack Daniel's Triple Mash Blended Straight Whiskey are the first two permanent expressions in the brand's new bonded series and they're off to a great start. The products are currently available in the U.S., France, the U. K. and Italy and will continue to roll out internationally. These Whiskey’s are another opportunity for both our friends and new drinkers to explore and discover everything Jack Daniels have to offer.
Jack Daniel's RTDs, which grew organic net sales 17% were the third largest contributor to overall company growth fueled by the consumer trends of convenience and flavors. Leading this growth is Jack Daniel's & Cola, which gives us continued confidence in our global agreement with the Coca-Cola Company to deliver the iconic Jack & Coke cocktail as a branded ready to drink adult beverage. We're on track to launch the Jack Daniel's & Coca-Coca RTD beginning in late calendar ’22 in Mexico. We look forward to sharing more about this exciting agreement between two global American icons in the quarters and years to come as it expands to markets throughout the world.
The rest of the Jack Daniel's family also delivered solid results, led by a double digit organic net sales increased collectively from Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey and Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire, particularly in the U.S. is the glass supply constraints have eased. Beyond our American Whiskey portfolio, organic net sales for our full strength tequila portfolio declined 3%. Supply disruption mainly related to glass for Herradura in the U.S. and Mexico, as well as difficult prior year comparisons in the U.S. were significant contributors to this performance.
Demand, particularly in the U.S. remains very strong with glass supply challenges and continued stable, but elevated cost for agave have slowed our profit growth. New mix performed well as the RTD category in Mexico is growing and the brand is increasing share. Sonoma-Cutrer build upon its momentum as the continued reopening of the on-premise channel drove a double digit increase in organic net sales and our scotch portfolio, led by GlenDronach and Benriach also produced strong results.
Earlier this month, we announced an investment over GBP30 in the GlenDronach distillery to significantly increase production capacity. Based on the latest IWSR data, global demand for the GlenDronach has tripled since 2016 the year that we acquired the brand as Whiskey common stores around the world discovered the distilleries award winning single malts. We believe this investment will steward long-term future growth of the brand.
Leanne will go into depth about our results in each of the geographic divisions, but I was pleased to see broad based growth across all geographic clusters and the Travel Retail channel. Also in the first quarter of fiscal ’23, our reported gross profit increased 13% and our organic gross profit growth was 21%, both ahead with their respective top line growth rates. While we experienced some headwinds in the form of a negative foreign exchange effect, higher costs related to supply chain disruptions and higher input costs due to inflation, they were all more than offset by tailwinds, including favorable price mix and the removal of the EU and U.K. tariffs on American Whiskey.
This combination of headwinds and tailwinds resulted in 80 basis points of gross margin expansion in the quarter. It was this time last year that we shared our plans to increase prices in the U.S. on the majority of our brand portfolio as part of an overall strategy to increase prices more consistently year-after-year. At the conclusion of the first quarter, nearly 90% of the price increases for fiscal ’23 have been executed and we've seen retail shelf price changes reflected in almost two-thirds in the United States.
Based on Nielsen data, Brown-Forman remains a price leader with 2.7% pricing growth outpacing total distilled spirits of around 2%. We continue to utilize our revenue growth management tools to evaluate pricing opportunities, not only in the U.S. but also internationally. We believe the health and relevance of our brands, as well as our continued brand building investments will allow us to successfully implement our long-term pricing strategy.
In summary, we had a strong start to the fiscal year and remain optimistic as we look ahead, even as the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment remains volatile and uncertain. This optimism is grounded in our success in both the short and long-term, we've been through challenging times and conditions over the last three years, as well as the last 152 years. We've been tested yet we've remained resilient. We've experienced adversity, yet we have continued to grow. Brown-Forman has endured because we have some of the most attractive spirits brands and some of the most desirable categories and we continue to innovate and expand our portfolio. We've thrived because of the bold and diverse perspectives of our people, which allow us to think creatively, innovate constantly and grow consistently.
I want to thank each and every one of them for delivering the results that we are sharing with you today. They give our company character and complexity, purpose and perseverance, agility and authenticity, and I am greatly appreciative.
So with that, I'll turn the call over to Leanne and she'll provide more details on our first quarter results.
Leanne Cunningham
Thank you, Lawson and good morning, everyone. As Lawson reviewed our headlines for the quarter, I will provide additional details on our business results and our outlook for fiscal 2023. First, I will share our top line results by geographic cluster. Developed international markets collectively delivered strong organic net sales growth, up double digits for the quarter, an increase in tourism and a return to the on-premise channel fueled broad-based growth across the markets, despite continued supply chain challenges.
Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey was the largest contributor to growth driven by Germany, Spain and Austria. Belgium also contributed to the growth as it has seen solid momentum since transitioning to own distribution in January of 2022. Jack Daniel's Ready-to-Drink momentum continued with double-digit growth, led by Germany and Australia. Consumers’ desire for convenience and interest in the Ready-to-Drink category remains high in these markets and we are gaining share. Aligned with our strategic priority of increasing focus on our premium and super premium portfolio our emerging brands model that we recently began extending to some international markets delivered very strong double-digit organic net sales growth, driven by GlenDronach, el Jimador and Woodford Reserve.
Collectively, our emerging international markets continued to rebound with very strong double-digit organic net sales growth, driven by strong organic growth from Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey particularly in Turkey, Sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil and Chile. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey grew organic net sales double-digits, led by Chile where the brand has more than doubled and new mix growing strong double digits in Mexico.
Growth was partially offset by lower volumes of Herradura in Mexico as the brand faced supply chain constraints. And year-over-year declines in Russia due to the suspension of our commercial operations beginning in March of 2022. The U.S. business remained strong, growing organic net sales 7%. This growth builds upon the 19% organic net sales growth delivered in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, which was fueled by the initial reopening of the on-premise channel.
Woodford Reserve led the growth for the first quarter with a positive impact from higher pricing and higher volumes as supply and capacity constraints eased. Also benefiting from an improved supply chain environment, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey and Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire experienced volumetric gains. Growth was partially offset by lower volumes at Korbel and Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, which both lapped double-digit comparison in the same prior year period.
Despite the supply chain challenges, we estimate a net increase in distributor inventories positively impacted net sales. Although even with the increase in the quarter, we believe distributor inventory levels remain below their pre-pandemic levels. This is due in large part to transportation and logistics constraints, as well as increased consumer demand. We continue to monitor consumer mobility trends and based on data from OpenTable and Google Mobility, the on-premise trends have continued to hover around pre-pandemic levels. This shift to the on-premise is continuing to impact off-premise takeaway trends as consumers have made the gradual return to restaurants and bars.
Our year-over-year takeaway trends have also been adversely impacted by supply chain constraints for brands such as Gentlemen Jack and Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire and Jack Daniel's Tennessee Apple. Finally, the travel retail channel continued its strong rebound, growing organic net sales 85%, led by increased Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey volume as international airline travel and the cruise business accelerated in the May through July period. Our business in this channel has not yet fully recovered to pre-COVID levels, but continues to close the gap.
As Lawson shared the details of our gross margin expansion for the quarter, I will now turn to our operating expenses. Organic advertising expenses in this quarter, compared to the same prior year period grew at a higher rate than our top line growth largely due to the timing of our increased investments in the United States to support Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, Herradura, the launch of Jack Daniel's Bonded and Triple Mesh and Woodford Reserve.
Our organic SG&A investment increased high single-digits, driven primarily by higher compensation-related expenses and the investment behind our people to support our business needs in a post pandemic environment, while continuing to leverage new ways of working. In total, reported and organic operating income grew 19% and 32% respectively in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. These results combined with a decrease in our effective tax rate resulted in a 30% diluted earnings per share increase to $0.52 per share.
And finally to our fiscal 2023 outlook. We continue to be optimistic as we look ahead even amidst the current volatility and uncertainty of the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. We believe our headwinds and tailwinds will remain largely the same through the remainder of our fiscal year and the strength of our portfolio of brands supported by strong consumer demand and our strategic investments will enable continued growth. And therefore, we are reiterating our full-year fiscal 2023 guidance.
With the start of a new fiscal year, we have now cycled against the more volatile months of the pandemic and believe we are seeing trends begin to stabilize. We remain confident in the collective strength of our U.S. developed and emerging international markets along with the Travel Retail channel. We anticipate our results should continue to benefit from the continued return of tourism and the gradual reopening of the international on-premise channel along with stronger pricing and innovation. We do remain cautious given the potential impact of inflation and rising energy prices on consumer spending.
I also want to reiterate that the seasonality of our fiscal 2023 results will be impacted by the abnormal seasonality of our fiscal 2022 shipments, due to supply chain disruptions. As you will recall, in the first half of fiscal 2022, distributor inventories did not increase ahead of the important holiday season as is typical and we experienced stronger shipments in the second half of fiscal 2022 as glass supply challenges began to ease.
In the first half of fiscal 2023, we expect distributor inventories to continue to return to more normalized levels. Therefore, we expect our growth rate in the first half to benefit from the net change in distributor inventory. Our second half results will lap the increase in the net change in distributor inventory related to the rebuilding of our inventory position in the prior year period.
As it relates to our fiscal 2023 costs, the removal of the EU and U.K. tariffs on America Whiskey remains a significant tailwind, while we continue to expect input cost inflation to remain a headwind. Also cost related, our glass supply position has improved though some challenges remain for some of our brands, particularly Herradura. We are continuing to partner with our current glass suppliers, as well as add new suppliers to address these constraints. And similar to many other CPG companies, the overall supply chain, particularly transportation, logistics and freight, continues to be challenging. While we are actively working to navigate these challenges and their impact, we do believe supply chain disruption will remain a headwind for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Based on these headwinds and tailwinds, we are reiterating our reported gross margin guidance for it to expand slightly for the full-year as our trajectory of expansion continues. Also related to our supply chain, we constantly searched to identify continuous improvement opportunities to optimize both our supply chain and its related costs.
As we have shared with you during many calls, we have been progressing various initiatives to address the challenges related to the cost of wood. One such initiative has led us to the recent announcement regarding the decision to sell our Stevenson mill in Alabama and Jackson mill in Ohio to independent state company. This sale is a part of a long-term agreement between Brown-Forman and independent state to allow for the expansion and diversification of our supply chain network.
Independent state is a dynamic family owned cooperages company and is committed to environmental sustainability in its operations. All of its existing mills are sustainable, forestry initiative certified and independent state like Brown-Forman is a founding member of the White Oak Initiative to support the long-term sustainability of White Oak for us. Although the vesting part of our business is never an easy decision, there are significant advantages to this partnership, including broader based sourcing, continuous improvement initiatives, and cost savings from economies of scale.
We are also pleased that all employees impacted by the agreement will be offered positions with independent state. It is important to note we will continue to own and operate our Clifton Mill in Clifton, Tennessee and both our Brown-Forman and Jack Daniel's Cooperages.
For the last component of our outlook, the outlook for operating expenses remains the same. In addition to our philosophy of growing the investment behind our brands at a rate similar to our top line growth, as we have stated many times that when the EU and U.K. tariffs on American Whiskey were removed, we would reinvest a portion of the relief back behind our brands. We are very pleased that in fiscal 2023, we are now executing against this additional investment behind our brands.
And as we shared last quarter, we will also invest behind our people and expect a continued rebound of discretionary spend to support our business needs in a post pandemic environment. Based on these expectations, we currently expect our organic net sales and organic operating income to grow in the mid single-digits range for the full fiscal year. And we still expect our fiscal 2023 effective tax rate to be in the range of about 22% to 23%.
Lastly, we have noted the impact of foreign exchange on our reported results. The dollar continues to strengthen against many major currencies. Most notably, we are seeing the negative effect of the appreciation of the dollar against the euro and the Turkish lira. The guidance we provide is on an organic basis, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange. If we were to take the rates where they are today against the dollar for the remainder of the fiscal year, foreign exchange would be a headwind for us in fiscal 2023 on a reported basis.
In summary, and as Lawson stated, we have had a strong start to fiscal 2023, delivering double digit top and bottom line growth on both a reported and organic basis. We remain optimistic as we look ahead and are confident in our ability to build upon this momentum and deliver consistent long-term growth, despite near-term challenges and uncertainties. We believe our brands and our people are resilient as our results continue to reflect. As we often say, there is nothing better in the market than Brown-Forman.
This concludes our prepared remarks. Please open the line for questions.
Operator
Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from Andrea Teixeira with JP Morgan. Your line is open.
Andrea Teixeira
Thank you for taking my question. So good morning. I wanted to just first of all congratulate you on the earnings. But just as you had this 5% positive impact, which was called out in the last earnings call in the first quarter. It seems as if like your -- the remainder of your fiscal year would then be the risk, because of this strong number. Do you expect that inventory rebuild to phase out in the second quarter fiscal? Or you still have that benefit in your view? I know that your numbers would still continue to be positive, but if you can elaborate a little bit more between consumption and attrition? Thank you.
Leanne Cunningham
Hi, Andrea. This is Leanne. We are continuing to evaluate the timeline to get back to normalization of our distributor inventory. Since the last fiscal year and again we talked about in our prepared remarks in the second quarter or in the second half, we'll begin making significant progress on in rebuilding inventories. We're continuing to work very hard to rebuild those inventories, but at the same time we're continuing to experience very strong consumer demand.
And at the same time, we've also launched a new innovation. So while we are working to improve our inventory position, and you can see there's a net increase in distributor inventory change that we are making progress, but we are facing challenges and strong demand. So we'll come back to you, we'll know more as we get into the second quarter to understand, kind of, what our exact timeline looks like, but we do continue to see benefit in the first quarter as you stated.
From a glass supply perspective, supply chain in general, we expect to be a headwind for the fiscal year. Our glass supply has continued to improve with our current supplier increasing capacity, we've broadened our supplier base the Jack Daniel's facility is still bottling at record pace. But as also noted in prepared remarks, we continue to face challenges for some brands and some sizes and particularly for this quarter, it's Herradura and we have some capacity strength in the current supply chain and we're addressing that currently by expanding our supplier base.
And then as we noted, kind of, one of the challenges that we will -- that will impact us through the remainder of the fiscal year is our ability to move the product into market through logistics and freight constraints, because there is a high demand for the equipment, there's an imbalance of the equipment around the world and again that's coming with associated costs. And in the U.S. which is our home market and our largest market where we produce the vast majority of our product, we still face driver challenges and equipment challenges. So net-net, we're making progress and we are working to replenish it. It does remain below pre-pandemic levels, but we're encouraged by the strong consumer demand. Lawson?
Lawson Whiting
Yes. I mean, I think, let me add a little bit to it because it seems like glass supply, I mean, this has been a major problem for us for a year now. We actually first started talking about this, because this quarter a year ago when we first really gave some detail on our glass supply situation. And so fast forward a year, I do think it's worth reviewing, because it almost feels like every question we're going to get -- ask this morning glass supply is part of the answer.
But a year ago, we really -- we prioritized Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, so core Black Label to allocate our immediate needs to Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey as really the on-premise was opening up not only in the United States, but around the world. And so we really prioritized Tennessee Whiskey to the detriment of practically every other brand in our portfolio. And so as the year went along, our demand has been very strong. I mean, demand for Tennessee Whiskey, which we believe is the largest or certainly one of the largest on-premise brands in the world. The demand has just been outstanding quite honestly and so we had a big year last year and it continued on through the first quarter of this year.
But to this -- as I said, brands like Gentlemen Jack, the flavors and now most recently our Tequila brands have all suffered for it. So we've caught up with Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey for the most part, I mean, it's taken a little longer, because of the strong demand, but it's doing well. Woodford Reserve had a great quarter, so we’ve begin to replenish the inventories of Woodford around the world. Same thing on Old Forester. Gentleman Jack and flavors are not caught up yet, but they're getting better. But you'll see those -- I think you'll see those trends improve in the upcoming few quarters.
And then as we said, Herradura really suffered over the last quarter. And that was -- I’d say it was a bit of a surprise, but it -- but the Herradura for one point also to make Herradura grew by 90% in quarter one last year. So tough comps is also part of that answer, but certainly the brand is suffering under our glass supply shortage that we're working very hard to try to fix, but it's not there yet.
Andrea Teixeira
Super helpful. If I can squeeze just one question on how consumers have been receiving the price increase. And if you're seeing -- it doesn't look like you're seeing any bounce rate, but just this is the topic as we obviously spoke to all the companies. If there is any excuse in -- state any price elasticity you've seen on the trade that investors should be aware of?
Lawson Whiting
Yes. I mean, look, we have pushed through our price increases, I think we said sort of 90% of the price increases already reflected on the shelf. And we haven't seen the trade down. Now I'd stress a little caution in looking at our trends and then extrapolate those to sort of macro trends, because of our glass situation. So that dominates over any sort of trade down or lack thereof really because it's not showing through in our numbers. And when we look at TDS we're not really seeing it, obviously, at the U.S. comment, but you're not seeing it really in the data there either.
And so elasticity is, I think the biggest piece of an elasticity question always is what are your competitors doing? And the competitors are also going up. And so for the first time, and I'll say a decade, you're seeing some pretty good pricing throughout the industry and you're not seeing the, you know, you are not seeing a lot of pushback. So we're able to get prices through, we're getting them through the retailers that's on the shelf and consumers are still buying it. So feeling pretty good.
We use the term affordable luxury a lot. And I do think spirits is an affordable luxury where consumers, they prioritize that bottle of Jack Daniels. And to the detriment of a lot of other consumer products we -- you’ve seen a lot of the retail or the big retailers in the U.S. that have struggled with inventories. We're kind of the opposite, where we don't have enough inventory out there. And it's pretty healthy, it's a good situation and that the demand is still there.
Andrea Teixeira
Super helpful. Thank you. I'll pass it on.
Operator
Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from Peter Grom with UBS. Your line is now open.
Peter Grom
Hey, good morning, everyone. Hope you're doing well. So I kind of wanted to follow-up on Andrea's question just around the guidance. And just given the strong start to the year from a top line and margin perspective, it just -- the guidance seems to imply a pretty meaningful slowdown from here. And I guess, I would just be curious, is that simply just conservatism given the uncertainty on many fronts? Or is there kind of something you're seeing more real time either in U.S. or other markets around the world that's given you're still concerned here?
Leanne Cunningham
Well, and again, building on -- hi, Peter, how are you? It's nice to hear from me. It's been a while. From building on what Lawson said from our inventory perspective, we really started as glass supply began to ease in our second half of last year, our shipments were, kind of, above -- they were above our depletion level trying to get our inventory rebuilt. So yes, we've had a strong start to our year and we know that next quarter we'll be comping one of our lowest performing quarter of fiscal ’22. But then at the end of fiscal ’22, we had a 4 point benefit from those shipments.
So when we have talked about, we will have a strong first start -- first half of our ’23 and that we will have to comp that 4 point benefit that we saw in the second half. And then we also again, as we said in our prepared remarks, we do remain cautious about how inflation and rising energy costs are going to impact our consumers. Will there be any macroeconomic or geopolitical events that similar to last March when we suspended our business? So again, that will be an impact in F’23 is the absence of our business in Russia.
So from a cost perspective, we've talked about this a bit. We're facing challenges, so easing on the glass supply, but then now moving to logistics and transportation and then it will be our ability to get our product to market and to consumers, which we believe is possible, but it's going to come at an increase cost, some of which we plan because we plan for inflation every year.
But one of the things that is different for us is that as we talk about inflation with the removal of the EU and U.K. tariffs on American Whiskey, unlike many others will -- that will help us mute the impact of inflation and cost that we have. So I don't necessarily is very early in the year, there's a lot of year to go and a lot can unfold ahead of us. We are definitely optimistic and off to a strong start. But we know we have a strong back half of last year to come.
Peter Grom
No, thank you for that. That's super helpful. And then I just maybe following a different topic, just the Coca-Cola and Jack Daniel's partnership, can you maybe just provide some more background on the partnership? Why both parties decided now is kind of the right time? And I know, I think Lawson, you mentioned the Mexico launch in the fourth quarter. But just any initial thoughts timing in the U.S. and contribution to top line growth versus maybe cannibalization versus for the existing Ready-to-Drink portfolio?
Lawson Whiting
Sure. So look, we are behind the scenes of working through all of that right now. There's obviously a ton of work that goes in to launching a new product on the scale of what this is about near. Correct, we are looking at, it's only a couple of months away from launching in Mexico. What we would -- what we're going to do, I think, I prefer to do is push this question off for another quarter. We will be more transparent with you all as we move into the rest of the fiscal year. We are still working behind the scenes on the cadence of launches, the level of investment, all that everything that goes with effectively a new product launch.
On a positive side, our Jack Daniel's & Cola, so not the Coke, but Jack Daniel's & Cola is flying. I mean that business is still really, really strong. And so that's part of the trick to this launch is how we remove those products from the market and replace it with Jack & Coke and it's a little more complicated than maybe that might sound. But this is still a very healthy business. There's a lot of -- particularly in the U.S. there's a lot of competitors, not so much in the Coke side of things, but I mean there's a lot of RTD interest to these days and there's a handful of brands that are doing really, really well. So we feel really good that this thing once we get it out there in the market, we'll be ready to drive some pretty significant demand. But I think we're going to wait another quarter before we sort of release a lot of those details.
Leanne Cunningham
And then the only thing I would add to that is we’re really excited about the numerous opportunities that we believe that this product will have from a geographic expansion perspective and our ability to gain share with it as well.
Lawson Whiting
Yes, obviously the Coca-Cola system is so big. They cover the world. And our products haven't -- we haven't even offered Jack & cola in many, many parts of the world. So it's going to be an exciting thing for this company and we're looking forward to it, knowing that most of that growth is really going to fall in calendar 2023.
Peter Grom
Yes. Thanks so much for that color. I'll pass it on.
Operator
Thank you. One moment for our next question. And our next question comes from Nadine Sarwat with Bernstein. Your line is now open.
Nadine Sarwat
Hi, everybody. So I got to kick off with my usual question on pricing. I remember on the last conference call we discussed how you had taken broad pricing across the board in the U.S great to hear that I think you said 90% of that pricing for this fiscal year has gone through. Can you give us an update on your pricing strategy out side of the U.S. though have we taken incremental price? This is especially in light of that inflationary environment?
And then one final question Jack Daniel's Apple, I know you mentioned flavors being deprioritized, but even if we take into account the changes in distributor inventory were at a fall of about 8% at an underlying level? Is there anything else we shouldn't bear in mind for the weakness in the quarter for this brand? Or is this a one-off, because of those supply chain issues? Thanks.
Lawson Whiting
Yes, let me -- I'll take pricing a bit and then maybe you can comment on the -- on Apple itself. I mean, yes, the pricing strategy that we are implementing is global, it's not just the U.S. and it's on, kind of, similar numbers. Europe has been a very difficult pricing environment for a long time, but we are finally pushed -- we've pushed through -- successfully pushed through last year and we'll continue to do it again this year. I'll call it that low single-digit pricing that, sort of, 2% to 3% range is something I want to see for the foreseeable future. I mean, every year, not -- we don't want to -- we're not trying to go up 10% one quarter and then back off a little bit. It's trying to go slow and steady and that's worked, it’s worked so far.
And as I mentioned to the earlier question, I think a lot of it has to do with other brands are also going up too. And So we're not seeing this sort of negative reaction either from the retailers necessarily. I mean, there's still challenges to partner with them to get prices up. But the environment is more conducive right now for most -- for many brands in our industry not only Brown-Forman’s to go up. Maybe talk about Apples, just a little bit.
Leanne Cunningham
And then to your apple question, Nadine, it's really -- it's in the process of lapping the final phase of its international launch last year. Demand has been high. And as Lawson mentioned, the prioritization of our products with the constraints that we have. It has been negatively impacted by that, but we continue to believe that its launch and its connectivity with consumers remains very high.
Nadine Sarwat
Got it. Thank you. If I could just clarify on that pricing. Have you taken pricing yet outside of the U.S.? Or is that something you're hoping to do -- you have?
Lawson Whiting
No, no, no, we did it. Yes, we did it last cycle. So it would have been I guess Q2, for the most part, Q2, Q3 of last year where the international prices all went through.
Nadine Sarwat
Got it. So you’re planning on hopefully implementing similar pricing this fiscal year?
Lawson Whiting
Correct.
Nadine Sarwat
Got it. Thank you very much. I'll turn it over.
Operator
Thank you. One moment for our next question. And our next question comes from Vivien Azer with Cowen. Your line is now open.
Vivien Azer
Hi, good morning. Thank you. Sorry to go back to the glass supply, but Lawson, I think you've given us permission to dig in on that. So it seems like Herradura was clearly the surprise and as I reflect back on your commentary around glass supply issues, last fiscal year and just looking at Herradura's results where you rightly call out a very tough comp. How is it that Herradura was more immune to glass supply issues in fiscal ‘22? What changed this quarter? Thanks.
Lawson Whiting
Well, I mean, it's just -- it’s where the glass is coming from and which plants are supplying the individual brands. And so Herradura is one of the most important brands in our portfolio. And so it would have gotten some level of priority, particularly Herradura in the U.S. but as the demand, as I said, was 90% in Q1. The demand for several of our brands, not only Herradura, but that would be the most obvious one where the demand was higher than we were forecasting. And you can keep that going for a little while, but eventually that runs into a problem. And so that problem showed it’s head over the last quarter, couple of quarters really in Herradura as we've -- we are madly trying to find alternatives and find additional supply, but it's challenging. It really is.
Vivien Azer
Okay. That's helpful. And then maybe just to follow-up on that. With the underlying gross margin closure, I was wondering, Leanne, if you could just kind of unpack even just like order of magnitude, the 180 basis points of cost pressure that you saw, like how much of that was glass versus agave versus other? Thanks.
Leanne Cunningham
The largest driver of the 180 basis points of higher input cost is a portion of that is glass pricing as we -- glass prices as we have the commodity inflation on natural gas. I would say a bigger piece of it right now is corn and agave. And I'll explain the agave piece in a moment. But for corn futures, they've moderated throughout Q1. And as we -- it's stabilizing as we look out for F ‘23, but it is stabilizing at a place that is approximately 20% higher than last year. So again, this is where in Q2 we'll know more about the harvest it has been impacted by the weather, what the quality of it will be supply demand and again harms to be coming in soon.
Another thing associated with corn is the increased freight cost due to fuel. For us, agave is going to be a little bit of a headwind this year. Now I want to make sure that I'm clear is the external agave prices have remained stable between MXN27 and MXN29 per kilo. Right now, we're seeing prices at the top end of that range. But for Brown-Forman, it's going to be the mix of what percentage we source from the external market versus what we have internally grown ourselves. And with the balance between what our inventory of agave’s are that are ready to be harvest versus our demand. We're sourcing externally at a bit of a higher mix than what we would have last year. So there's a bit of that change impact there. But the pricing for external is stable.
So really for us is I would say corn and agave are the two biggest. We'll know more for corn as we get into the harvest. And we do have small inflationary increases on the cost of wood and natural gas is about it. So is there anything else I can provide to you on that?
Vivien Azer
No, that's really helpful. Thank you very much.
Operator
Thank you. One moment for our next question. And our next question comes from Chris Pitcher with Redburn. Your line is now open.
Chris Pitcher
Thanks very much. And I have a couple of questions on extending the Jack Daniel's brand, it sounds from your comments Lawson that you're still comfortable with the flavor, extension, strategy and there is more growth to go for in Apple, it feels like Honey perhaps sort of achieved, sort of critical mass, should we expect you to be sort of working on further extensions beyond Apple? Or do you think the flavor story is perhaps playing out and the focus is more now more towards extending the premium extension for Jack Daniel?
And as a follow-up to that, I mean, looking at Bonded and Triple Mash what sort of price premium do you think Jack Daniel’s can move to and still achieve meaningful volumes, because you have tried to take the brand up the price ladder before and it runs into resistance. Have you -- are you targeting existing Jack Daniel's consumers to trade them up? Or are you now going after more premium Whiskey consumers? Thanks.
Lawson Whiting
Well, to the second half of your question, the answer is both. The bonded series is to say we haven't done an ultra premium or super premium line extension in a long, long time, it’s really since Gentleman Jack and some of the single barrel expressions over the years. So we are -- we feel really good about the initial takeaway on these innovations has been very strong. And we feel very good about that, it’s getting really positive reviews and at that sort of $29, $30, $31 price points there is a real market for Jack Daniel's consumers and so we feel pretty good about that. As far as the flavor side of things, I mean, certainly Honey, Honey has been a home run for this company over the last 10-years. And Apple, Apple is experiencing its own sort of issues, not only lapping some -- the launching, but the Apple launch is just the timing whether you're talking about the U.S. or international is just terrible, because it was right in the middle of -- right at the pandemic was hitting and that was a tough time to introduce new products. So I do feel that Apple is going to have a healthy future and we'll do well.
We do not have plans for another flavor in the near future. I'll never say never, but we're going to focus on these more premium line extensions for now and the core Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, which is having growth like it hasn't seen in a number of years, we've now -- it's going to be several years in a row of growth on growth in ways that we feel pretty good about it. And so, yes, so I think we'll be slow on any flavor extensions and you're going to see more advertising behind these -- the bonded series. It's already -- we're already promoting not price promoting it, but television and digital and all the different ways that we communicate in a big way on these brands. And so it's kind of exciting to see that there's a nice market for some premium extensions off the Jack Daniel's brand.
Leanne Cunningham
And then the only thing that I would build onto that is when we think about premium extension for Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, Gentleman Jack is now over 750,000 cases and we still believe it's very early in its international growth opportunity. So for me, I would say, higher than 750,000 cases.
Lawson Whiting
Yes. I mean, and keep in mind, Gentleman Jack too was I mean, as we look back, if we fast forward a couple of years and then look back over everything that happened over this glass shortage, Gentleman Jack, it's probably going to be the brand that -- I don't know if it suffered the most, but it was rough. I mean, the Nielsen numbers are nowhere indicative of what we think the true underlying demand is for Gentleman Jack, it’s just the brand is just taking it on the chin last year as it really didn't have any supply.
Chris Pitcher
Thanks very much.
Operator
Thank you. One moment for our next question. And our next question comes from the line of Steven Powers with Deutsche Bank. Your line is now open.
Steven Powers
Thanks very much. I had two questions, the first one is on the U.S., if I back out the trade inventory dynamics and get to the metric formally noted underlying growth. I think we end up with like a 2% growth number in the U.S. in the quarter, which was a bit light of our expectation. I just wanted to get your sense for what that signifies for, sort of, that underlying normalized demand in the U.S. if it was in line with your expectations? And how you expected the trend from here?
Lawson Whiting
Well, first of all, calling underlying, what did you say formally known as that is one of the better lines I've heard in a while. Look, the U.S. business -- our international business is still very much dominated by Jack Daniel’s. And so the international demand was very, very strong and we were able to supply it. The U.S. is much more diversified and so brands like Woodford and Old Forester and basically everything other than Jack Daniel you've got such a massive -- you've got a very broad portfolio that was constrained by glass supply.
I also think something that I'm just not sure I appreciate it a year ago, but the U.S. on-premise opened up quicker than the rest of the world. And so we're lapping now that, that reopening -- Q1 would have been a heavy reopening period for the U.S. The international markets were more like Q2 or into Q3. And so that -- some of it was just the comps too. So that once again, the answer to everything is glass supply and tough comps impacted the U.S. business.
Look, I look at our U.S. business, I mean Woodford, I don't know, when the U.S. number, I guess it was a global number, but still being a plus 39 is a huge growth number. We've got to get our Tequila’s going again, I mean, that certainly was not a -- that was a negative for the quarter, but still feeling pretty good about our U.S. business and the way it has trended over the last -- even over the last few years, our U.S. business has been elevated now really throughout the pandemic. If you go back and step back a little bit and look over a longer time period, I mean, three or -- do a three year CAGR or a four year CAGR, you're going to see our U.S. business has been growing more like us. It's been pretty steady, but it's been higher than our historical average is more like a seven as opposed to a really long-term average more like five or six. So U.S. business is still really healthy.
Steven Powers
Okay. Yes, that's good perspective. Thank you. And I guess the second question, if I could, was just going back to -- I think it was Andrea's question at the start around inventory dynamics since the second quarter. I may have misheard or misinterpreted the answer, but it seemed like there was a bit more uncertainty from your answer in terms of whether or not and to what degree that trade inventory rebuilding would be a continued tailwind in the second quarter?
I guess my perspective is given what we see in the first quarter and acknowledging constraints, but seemingly improved supply? And just what you're lapping last year with sort of the teeth of the supply constraints. I would expect -- I would have expected more, kind of, affirmative answer that trade inventory dynamics would be more of a definitive tailwind in the second quarter? And I just wanted to play that back to you and see if I was wrong or if I misinterpreted what you had said earlier? Thank you.
Leanne Cunningham
Yes. I mean, it comes back to we're continuing to evaluate the timeline for the normalization of our distributor inventory, because we've got multiple factors at play at the same time. Our glass supply position is strengthening. Our facilities are bottling at record paces, we're getting inventory -- finished cases produced that are seeing challenges to get to market through supply chain, but we have met multiple strategies in place to get the cases there. We are experiencing very strong consumer demand. So as we believe we have inventory to meet demand, demand is increasing.
And at the same time, we are launching new -- our new innovation of the bonded series and getting that to market. So we know when we started really January, but the second half of F '22 we began producing at a higher level and moving cases into the market. That is continuing, but the rebuild is potentially going to take a longer period of time depending on how consumer demand changes.
Steven Powers
Yes, okay. Yes, it does. So to the extent that you're having, the organic growth will either benefit from -- you got your supply getting stronger, I think, you are strengthening. So if consumer demand is strong that will show up in sort of that show up a consumption and if demand is a little bit softer allowing you to replenish inventory would show up in kind of the trade inventory ability either way. Okay, I understand. I'll stop rambling. Thank you so much.
Leanne Cunningham
Thank you.
Operator
Thank you. One moment for our next question. And our next question comes from Noah Erni with Jefferies. Your line is now open.
Kevin Grundy
Hey, good morning everyone. It’s actually Kevin Grundy here. Congrats on the strong result. I know we covered a lot of ground hopefully these will be fairly quick. Leanne, on FX fully acknowledged that you guys do not guide. My question is on transactional FX, so maybe you can just help us think about that. We can do our own modeling on top line. Just thinking about the flow through to operating profit, should we be thinking about the same transactional impact to operating income? And that is to say it was a 6% impact headwind in the top line in the quarter, was it 16% impact to profit, so more than 2.5 times sort of multiplier, if you will? Is that the right way to think about the impact of profit for the year? Is that something you can comment on?
Leanne Cunningham
Well, as we would think about this, so starting with -- it is the transactional impact largely related to the euro and the lira. You're exactly right on the impact. For the shape of it for the full year, I don't want to comment on that because again we started in calendar year ’23, which again would have hit some of the back half of our F '22, we started to see some challenges, deal with our headwinds from FX. So that will -- we'll be going against that a bit in late of F ’23. But again, it's transactional we don't see any meaning fully or remeasurement from a translational perspective. And we've just been clear to say that if we were to assume the rates remain where they are today, it's going to be a headwind.
So I would hesitate to say shape wise, it will be consistent throughout the year, it will be more consistent than not. It's going to -- depend when we get into the back half of the year how we're lapping that.
Kevin Grundy
Okay, okay. Thank you for that. And then a quick one, we've talked about this on the call before. Just balance sheet and uses of cash, so the debt leverage continues to creep lower. Leanne, you talked about some asset sales at the end of your prepared remarks. I'm not sure magnitude of that maybe you can comment on how we should think about it? But just it would be good to get your updated thoughts on where your debt leverage is now even taking into account elevated levels of CapEx for the year, your debt leverage would still continue to creep lower? So I just -- I'd love to get your thoughts on targeted debt leverage and then as we think about uses of excess cash, where is the bias today between buybacks versus perhaps one-time dividend, of course, there's a long history of Brown-Forman of those sort of considerations. So your updated thoughts there, Leanne would be appreciated. Thank you.
Leanne Cunningham
Okay, great. I'll start with the divestiture of our two stave mills. Again, this is about optimizing our strategic sourcing model we think there is going to be -- this gives us a broader base of sourcing, continuous improvement initiatives that will ultimately result in cost savings with economies of scale. Now the impact of that from a capital perspective, it would have not be material, and but we do from a barrel cost, wood cost perspective, we do expect to start seeing favorable cost at the back end of this, kind of, Q4 of this year. But with our aging process and associated accounting for that, it will take a period of time before we recognize that. So that -- I just wanted to comment on that part first.
And as it related to capital, again, we don't typically -- we don't talk about a target. But what is really important for us is that we maintain flexibility and the strength of our balance sheet. We know that we are facing supply chain challenges. There are geopolitical environmental events that we also want to hedge against. But we also want to be well positioned to take advantage of any potential investment opportunities. So we keep our balance sheet in a place where we could capture those opportunities and hedge against any of the risks.
Lawson Whiting
Yes, I don't think there's much a change early in our capital allocation strategy. I mean, we're always going to look to invest in our business first. Acquisitions are difficult in this industry, but we're always looking. Share buybacks or the current administration has made them maybe a little bit less attractive with some of the excise taxes that they're posting, but we'll always balance the share buyback and special dividend question. It's only been eight or nine months since we did a special dividend. And so there's not pressure necessarily to do one of those really soon. But I think just at the end of the day, we feel like we're good and smart and we have a good capital allocation strategy and we're really not changing it.
Kevin Grundy
Very good. Thank you both. Thank you.
Operator

Gov. Kathy Hochul has deployed the New York Army and Air National Guards to help extinguish a Hudson Valley wildfire at a state park that has grown from 30 acres to between 130 and 150 acres.
Located in Ulster County, the fire, known as the Napanoch Point Fire in the Minnewaska State Park in Ellenville, was believed to have started on Saturday, Aug. 27 by a lightning strike.
More than 200 state and local firefighters from across the region have been battling the blaze that continues to grown.
Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan said the fire continues to increase in size due to vegetation, terrain, and weather conditions.
A new fire, the Stony Kill Fire at Minnewaska State Park Preserve has also developed, which crews are responding to, assessing, and working to contain, Ryan said.
"I want to thank Governor Kathy Hochul and all of the first responders who have worked tirelessly during this wildfire," Ryan said. "We will continue to work to limit the spread of the fire and I ask all residents to be mindful of the dry season that we are in and take necessary precautions to reduce the chances of further fires."
Currently, all entry points to Minnewaska State Park Preserve, including the Sam’s Point Area, will be closed until further notice, to maintain public safety, officials said.
Anyone with reservations for Saturday, Sunday, or Monday over the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend will be notified and refunded. All visitors must adhere to these closures, Ryan said.
Over the next 24 hours, the response team will be committing an additional 60 firefighters to the operation, and doubling resources to four helicopters for airdrops and 24 all-terrain vehicles.
Ryan said there will be firefighting activities on Berme Road from Port Bend to Ellenville, working on installing a contingency line.
"Expect to visually see smoke coming off the fires on the mountain," he said.
All campfires and open burning are currently banned in Mid-Hudson Region State Parks, state officials said.

Mexico central bank maintains 2022 economic growth forecast, cuts 2023 view
Adds central bank governor quote
MEXICO CITY, Aug 31 (Reuters) - The Bank of Mexico on Wednesday forecast 2022 gross domestic product (GDP) growth of between 1.7% and 2.7%, maintaining its previous central estimate for economic growth of 2.2%, the bank said in a quarterly report.
Banxico, as the central bank is known, cut its forecast for 2023 economic growth, however.
For 2023, the bank forecasts GDP growth of between 0.8% and 2.4%, lowering it from a prior estimate of 1.4% to 3.4%.
The bank's Governor Victoria Rodriguez said she did not foresee a recession in Latin America's second-largest economy.
"The context that we are living at a global level, of the pandemic and the war and the high inflation that is leading central banks to tighten their monetary stances, will have an impact on growth," said Rodriguez. "However, not enough to bring it to recession levels."

New signing Sasa Kalajdzic says Wolverhampton Wanderers were the club that "wanted me the most" after completing his move from VfB Stuttgart.
The Austria international becomes Bruno Lage's fourth summer signing, putting pen to paper on a five-year deal at Molineux. The fee is reported to be £15.5m plus add-ons, that could rise to £21m.
The 25-year-old striker impressed during his spell in Germany, racking up 24 goals and 12 assists in 60 appearances in the Bundesliga. In his first interview after making his move, he told Wolves TV: "I’m happy it’s all been finished today. It was a long, tough day, but in the end everything went well. I’m really thankful and really happy to be here, it was the club that wanted me the most in the end.

"In my career, at my age, it’s important to feel where the next step is and, in the end, I had the feeling Wolverhampton is the best step for my development. I had good talks with the coaches, and I met some players from the team.
"Everyone was so kind and so nice. I know that I won’t regret my decision because the people were all so kind, they welcomed me and I’m looking forward to playing as soon as possible."
The 6ft 7in centre-forward is excited to bring his experience to the team and shared his ambitions in an Old Gold shirt. "I’m a team player, I want to help the team, that’s the most important thing in the end," he added. "When the team is looking good, I’m looking good as well.
"I'm two metres tall, but also not bad with my feet - I'm just hungry to score goals, I want to play good football and score many goals. I want to play attractive football, this is my aim for the upcoming matches."
He will be hoping to make his debut when Wolves host Southampton at the weekend. "I’m very excited," Kalajdzic continued. "There is a little bit of nerves, but in a positive way, and I can’t wait to play in front of the fans, to see how it is. It is the best league in the world.
"The Bundesliga has amazing fans, but I think it’s different, and I want to experience it. I was in England in a few stadiums as a fan, and it was really cool, and I want to experience it as a player.
"Everyone tells me the Premier League is the toughest league, it’s the NBA of football. I’m just excited to prove myself against the best because in this league the best players are playing.
"I want to develop as a player, as a person, and want to get as soon as possible to score, to show myself, and I’m really happy about it and looking forward to it."

Reported sexual assaults across US military increase by 13%
WASHINGTON (AP) — Reports of sexual assaults across the U.S. military jumped by 13% last year, driven by significant increases in the Army and the Navy as bases began to move out of pandemic restrictions and public venues reopened, The Associated Press has learned.
Mirroring the increase in those reports is the disclosure that close to 36,000 service members said in a confidential survey that they had experienced unwanted sexual contact — a dramatic increase over the roughly 20,000 who said that in a similar 2018 survey, U.S. defense and military officials said.
The latest numbers are certain to anger lawmakers on Capitol Hill who have been critical of the Pentagon’s efforts to get a handle on sexual crimes and misconduct.
According to officials, the overall increase is largely fueled by a nearly 26% jump in reports involving Army soldiers. It’s the largest increase for that service since 2013, when such reports went up by 51%.
The increase in Navy reports was about 9%, the Air Force was a bit more than 2% and the Marine Corps was less than 2%, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the reporting has not yet been made public.
The big increase is especially troublesome for the Army, which is struggling to meet its recruiting goals and is expected to miss the target by at least 10,000 — or by anywhere from 18% to 25% — at the end of September. Army leaders have acknowledged that it is important for parents and others who influence recruits to feel comfortable that their son or daughter is safe and will be taken care of in the service.
COVID-19 and the pandemic restrictions make year-to-year comparisons complicated. Officials said they do not have enough data to determine if — or how much — the pandemic played a role in the higher reporting and survey numbers.
The Pentagon and the military services have long struggled to come up with programs to prevent sexual assaults and to encourage reporting. While the military has made inroads in making it easier and safer for service members to come forward, it has had far less success reducing the assaults, which have increased nearly every year since 2006.
The double-digit overall increase comes after two years of relatively small increases in reports filed by or involving service members. In the budget year ending September 2020, reports of sexual assault and unwanted sexual contact edged up by 1%, as much of the world largely shut down due to the pandemic. The previous year, reports went up by about 3% — a substantial improvement over 2018, which also saw a 13% increase.
The widespread restrictions on travel and movement for the military continued during fall 2020 and the early part of 2021, and many businesses, restaurants and bars were shut down or had limited service. Things began to open up as more people were vaccinated in the summer and fall, but it’s also not clear whether that greater freedom contributed to the increase in assault reports.
The Pentagon releases a report every year on the number of sexual assaults reported by or about troops. But because sexual assault is a highly underreported crime, the department began to do an confidential survey every two years to get a clearer picture of the problem. The 2018 survey found that more than 20,000 service members said they experienced some type of sexual assault, but only one-third of them filed a formal report.
The latest report, expected to be publicly released Thursday, estimates that about 35,800 service members experienced some type of sexual assault in the previous year, based on the confidential survey. That means that only about one in every five service members reported an incident that happened in the previous year.
Every year as many as 10% of the assaults that service members reported happened before they joined the military.
Officials familiar with the findings said survey respondents also reported increases in unhappiness in the workplace, as well as more sexual harassment, which can sometimes lead to other sexual assaults or misconduct.
Defense officials have argued that an increase in reported assaults is a positive trend because so many people are reluctant to report it, both in the military and in society as a whole. Greater reporting, they say, shows there is more confidence in the reporting system and greater comfort with the support for victims.
It’s unclear, however, whether the increased reports last year actually represent a growing problem or whether those who say they were assaulted were just more willing to come forward.
The Pentagon has been under persistent pressure from Congress to improve prevention and prosecutions. Lawmakers acted late last year to take some prosecution authority out of the hands of commanders and instead use independent prosecutors.
Victims rights advocates and others have argued that service members don’t trust the system and are often unwilling to go to their commanders with a complaint for fear of retribution. They also worry that commanders may not press ahead with some cases if they know the accused. Members of Congress argued that using independent prosecutors would make the process more fair, and make victims more comfortable coming forward.

CRAWFORD COUNTY, ARKANSAS, Ark. — Attorneys for Randal Worcester have filed a federal lawsuit after a now-viral video from Aug. 21 shows two Crawford County deputies and a Mulberry police officer on top of him, in some instances kneeing and slamming his head on the ground, during his arrest.
On Monday, Aug. 30, Attorneys David Powell and Adam Rose with The Law Offices of David L. Powell filed the suit against the three officers— Deputy Levi White, Cpl. Zack King and Officer Thell Riddle— as well as Crawford County Sheriff Jimmy Damante, Mulberry Police Chief Shannon Gregory and their respective departments.
“The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office and Mulberry have had a history of violence and a history of this behavior that’s going to be coming out and I think the public is going to see and it’s important that they as a whole, as an entity, as a department are held responsible for that behavior,” said Adam Rose.
In the complaint, Worcester's attorneys argue that during the violent arrest, both his Fourth Amendment rights (unreasonable searches and seizures by the government) and Fourteenth Amendment rights (the right for everyone to be protected under the law) were violated.
The attorneys also claim the defendants owe damages to Worcester for "negligence, assault, excessive force, and battery."
The complaint states that Worcester was traveling to South Carolina on his bicycle on Sunday, Aug. 21, when a gas station employee called police alleging that he had threatened her.
According to the statement from that employee, she claimed Worcester spit on her and told her he'd cut her face off when she told him he couldn't loiter outside the gas station in Alma.
Crawford County Deputy White and Cpl. King along with Mulberry Police Officer Riddle initiated a traffic stop at a gas station in Mulberry.
According to the lawsuit, the events that led up to the video began when the officers asked Worcester about the incident with the gas station employee.
"Mr. Worcester was compliant as he explained to Defendant Officers that due to a lack of water, he had asked the gas station attendant for water." Worcester told the officers that the employee "became angry with him and asked him to leave the store," the document says.
Worcester reportedly told the officers about a "small pocketknife in his pocket but immediately gave it over to officers, and the officers knew at this time the Defendant was not armed."
The lawsuit goes on to claim that without warning, Deputy White "aggressively attempted to put Mr. Worcester's arms behind his back in an effort to handcuff him, without stating any reason for doing so." Worcester said he wasn't read his Miranda Rights when he was handcuffed.
"A physical altercation ensued," and from there, the rest of the incident is what was caught on a bystander's cell phone and posted online. "Despite Mr. Worcester being detained, the Defendant Officers continued to repeatedly punch, kick, and knee [him.]" Worcester's head was also slammed onto the pavement during his arrest.
"At no point during the incident did any of the Defendant Officers attempt to use de-escalation tactics or subdue Mr. Worcester with a taser and/or pepper spray." Worcester's attorneys allege the three officers "acted with malice and/or reckless disregard" for Worcester's Constitutional rights.
“We’ll never really know the answer to that being the officers were not wearing body cams. But it does shed light on him not being read his rights, him not being articulated as to why he was being stopped and also makes sense as to why our client’s response was confusion,” said Adam Rose.
Statements given by Deputies White and Cpl. King's lawyer Russell Wood in the days following the arrest said the deputies didn't have tasers.
Wood also described Worcester as a "violent suspect" who "became irate and viciously attacked Deputy White by grabbing him by the legs, lifting him up and body slamming him, head first, on the concrete parking lot," Worcester then, according to Wood, "got on top of Deputy White and began striking him in the back of the head and face."
"Deputy White re-engaged and used all force necessary to get the violent suspect under control and detained," Wood said in a statement the day after the arrest.
The suit goes on to say Officer Thell was "inadequately" supervised by Mulberry Police Chief Gregory who was "deliberately indifferent."
Crawford County Sheriff Damante is accused in the lawsuit of failing to respond after previous excessive force complaints were brought to him about White and King. Damante said the day following the violent arrest that he would take "appropriate action" against the deputies if they are found guilty of a crime.
One of the complaints of excessive force came from Teddy Wallace, who said he was tased four times during a violent arrest in mid-July by Crawford County deputies, including Deputy White, but was never charged with a crime.
Tammy Nelson also came forward on Tuesday, Aug. 23, saying she personally complained to Sheriff Damante about Levi White using excessive force against her in early August. Damante, according to Nelson, told her that she resisted and refused to accept her complaint.
"He dragged me so fast that even if I wanted to, there was no time to resist," Nelson said.
Worcester's attorneys go on to request a jury trial surrounding the claims— from the officers violating his Constitutional rights to accusing them of battery and assault— and requested unspecific "compensatory and punitive damages."
5NEWS reached out to Wood for a statement on the lawsuit against his clients. "I have no knowledge about a federal lawsuit. However, I will vigorously defend the lawsuit like I do every lawsuit against my law enforcement clients,” Wood said.
Damante responded to the lawsuit saying, "I take every allegation seriously and I hold employees accountable if they violate policies or the law. I asked the State Police to do an independent investigation of this matter and I trust they will provide context and clarity to the entire incident, not just the short clip that went viral.
Filing a lawsuit while there's still an independent investigation underway is premature. None the less, our attorneys will defend the Crawford County taxpayers from whom this lawsuit seeks payment."

CHAMPAIGN (WCIA) — Josh McCray’s injury is not season ending but the Illinois sophomore running back won’t suit up at Indiana Friday night or against Virginia next week, Illini head coach Bret Bielema announced on Wednesday. McCray went down in the second half of the Week 0 blowout win over Wyoming and had to be helped off the field. After spending several minutes in the medical tent on the sideline, he was seen with an ice bag on his right knee.
“We’re kind of still a work in progress,” said Bielema. “For us, we’re just trying to get him in a position; the tests have come back, it’s really about how his body handles it. It’s not a season ending injury but it’s just about how he handles certain stressors and certain things as his body gets a little bit better.”
Freshman wide receiver Shawn Miller will also miss Friday night’s game at Indiana, still going through evaluations, per Bielema. On a positive note, Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley grad and Illini freshman Aidan Laughery will be involved in the game plan and full-go.
Illinois visits Indiana Friday night at 7 p.m. on FS1 in both teams’ Big Ten opener. The Hoosiers are three-point favorites. | https://www.wcia.com/sports/your-illini-nation/josh-mccray-to-miss-next-two-games-its-not-a-season-ending-injury/ | 2022-08-31T20:39:29Z | https://www.wcia.com/sports/your-illini-nation/josh-mccray-to-miss-next-two-games-its-not-a-season-ending-injury/ | false | 1 |

Destiny 2 King's Fall guide: Raid weapons, perks, and god rolls
By Brendan Lowry published
Here are all the excellent Raid weapons you can get from King's Fall, as well as a look at the god rolls you should hunt for.
The beloved King's Fall Raid from the original Destiny has returned in Destiny 2, and by slaying the Taken King and his subordinates, players will be awarded reprised versions of several of the original King's Fall Raid weapons. Complete with excellent perk options and one of the best Origin Traits available, these have instantly become popular choices in Destiny 2's metagame. But which of the original King's Fall weapons have come back, and what are the best weapon perks and god rolls you should chase for PvE and PvP? And how do you get your hands on the Raid's exclusive Exotic weapon, the Touch of Malice?
In this guide, we'll go over everything you need to know about the Raid weapons from King's Fall. This includes a loot table that shows which weapons can drop from each encounter, an overview of the best perks and god rolls for each individual weapon, and details on how to obtain the Touch of Malice.
Destiny 2 King's Fall: Loot table
Like other Raids in Destiny 2, King's Fall splits up its available rewards across each of its encounters. This means that if you're planning on hunting a specific weapon, there are a few specific encounters in the Raid that you'll want to complete each week on each of your characters.
Below is a loot table that shows which weapons can drop from each King's Fall encounter. Keep in mind that since pieces of Raid armor can also drop from the encounters, you may not always get one of these weapons as a reward.
Note that once you get a weapon to drop at least once, you can also buy more of them at the loot chest that spawns after defeating Oryx as long as you have enough Spoils of Conquest. Spoils of Conquest drop from completed Raid encounters, and each weapon you buy at the end of King's Fall will cost you 20 of them. This is a great way to get some extra chances at a god roll each week.
Destiny 2 King's Fall: Weapon perks and god rolls
While Raid weapons in general usually offer strong and/or unique perk combinations, King's Fall takes things to a whole new level. Each weapon in the Raid is capable of rolling fantastic perks, and they all come with the phenomenal Runneth Over Origin Trait. This overflows the weapon's magazine whenever you reload near allies, which substantially reduces the amount of time you have to spend reloading as long as you're sticking with your teammates.
Ultimately, while some of these weapons are better for PvE than PvP and vice-versa, all of them are worth hunting down. Here's an overview and analysis of each weapon's top perks, as well as the god rolls you should look out for.
Doom of Chelchis perks and god rolls
- Weapon Class: Precision Frame 180 RPM Scout Rifle (Void)
- PvE God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Tactical Mag, Firefly/Explosive Payload, Dragonfly/Focused Fury/One for All
- PvP God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Tactical Mag, Explosive Payload, Eye of the Storm
We're starting things off with a bang with the Doom of Chelchis, which is arguably the best weapon from King's Fall for endgame PvE content. Arrowhead Brake gives you a perfect 100 recoil direction for easy control, while Tactical Mag offers a general boost to reload speed, stability, and magazine size.
Both trait columns feature a wide variety of top-tier PvE perks, with our favorite combo being Firefly and Dragonfly — something that no other weapon in the game can roll. Both Firefly and Dragonfly cause large explosions that can clear out trash mobs rapidly when you kill a foe with a headshot, and since the presence of both means two explosions, nothing other than the beefiest of yellow bar targets will survive them. Some other excellent combinations include Firefly/Focused Fury, Firefly/One for All, and Explosive Payload/One for All.
There are fewer options for PvP, though a roll with Explosive Payload and Eye of the Storm will serve you incredibly well. The former removes damage falloff and provides a slight damage boost, while the latter improves your accuracy as you take damage, helping you secure kills in duels with precise critical hits.
Qullim’s Terminus perks and god rolls
- Weapon Class: High-Impact Frame 360 RPM Machine Gun (Stasis)
- PvE God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Tactical Mag, Ensemble/Heating Up, Killing Tally/Firefly/Headstone
- PvP God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Steady Rounds, Dynamic Sway Reduction, Eye of the Storm/Killing Tally
While Machine Guns aren't exactly the meta right now, the Qullim’s Terminus is nevertheless a beastly one you shouldn't ignore. Arrowhead Brake and Tactical Mag provide some valuable general stat buffs and make the recoil easy to control, while Ensemble provides a huge reload speed boost when near teammates. Heating Up is also an excellent choice for the first trait column, as it buffs stability and accuracy whenever you get a kill. This allows you to keep up the pressure against ads without any issues.
Ultimately, though, the true star of the show is Killing Tally, which is a unique perk that hasn't been seen on Machine Guns since the now-sunset 21% Delirium was added all the way back in 2019's Season of the Drifter. It's essentially a more potent version of Rampage, as it buffs your damage by 10% each time you kill an enemy up to a maximum of 30%, then remains active until you stow the weapon or reload it. Paired with Ensemble or Heating Up, this perk will allow you to single-handedly clear out entire armies of trash mobs without much effort.
If you're looking for a PvP roll, we recommend the combo of Dynamic Sway Reduction and Eye of the Storm (though you could use Killing Tally here too if you want to try to rampage through the enemy team with the damage buff). These perks make it easy to achieve laser-precise accuracy, and since you won't get more than one magazine of heavy ammo in the Crucible anyway, you shouldn't care about using Ensemble for reloading. It's also a good idea to swap out Tactical Mag for Steady Rounds for maximum stability.
Smite of Merain perks and god rolls
- Weapon Class: Adaptive Frame 390 RPM Pulse Rifle (Kinetic)
- PvE God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Tactical Mag, Stats for All/Focused Fury/Ensemble/Demolitionist, One for All/Firefly/Vorpal Weapon/Adrenaline Junkie
- PvP God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Tactical Mag, Ensemble/Moving Target, Eye of the Storm
Like the Doom of Chelchis, the Smite of Merain is capable of rolling with multiple phenomenal perk combos. The best overall roll is arguably Stats for All/One for All since the former boosts your range, stability, reload speed, and handling and the latter gives you a big 30% damage buff whenever you rapidly hit three separate targets. However, there are multiple other specialized god rolls to chase, too, including Focused Fury/Vorpal Weapon for excellent anti-Champion crit damage, Focused Fury/Firefly for a deadly damage buff and area-of-effect explosion combo, Ensemble/One for All for rapid reloading, and Demolitionist/Adrenaline Junkie for the best Destiny 2 builds that focus on grenades. As usual, we're going with Arrowhead Brake for our barrel and Tactical Mag for our magazine perk.
Note that if you're a big fan of melee combat, you can also roll the Smite of Merain with both Pugilist and Swashbuckler. We're not the biggest fans of this setup since Pulse Rifles aren't the ideal weapon to take into close-quarters combat, but the looping combo of Pugilist giving you melee ability energy whenever you get kills and Swashbuckler giving you a 33.3% damage buff with the weapon whenever you score a melee kill is undeniably powerful.
On the PvP side of things, Ensemble with Eye of the Storm is our top pick, as the quick reloads near allies and improved accuracy when you take damage will make your ability to team-shoot much better. Alternatively, you could trade Ensemble for Moving Target to enjoy better target acquisition while moving.
Defiance of Yasmin perks and god rolls
- Weapon Class: Adaptive Frame 90 RPM Sniper Rifle (Kinetic)
- PvE God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Extended Mag/Alloy Magazine, Ensemble/No Distractions, Firing Line/Vorpal Weapon
- PvP God Roll: Extended Barrel, Accurized Rounds, Snapshot Sights/No Distractions, Opening Shot/Moving Target
The Defiance of Yasmin is capable of rolling with some great perks for both PvE and PvP, making it one of the most versatile weapons from the King's Fall Raid. For group PvE, we recommend Arrowhead Brake, Extended Mag, Ensemble, and Firing Line. Arrowhead Brake keeps recoil manageable, Extended Mag gives you an extra round in the magazine (five instead of four), Ensemble offsets the reload speed penalty of Extended Mag as long as you're close to your allies, and Firing Line gives you a huge 20% damage when near two teammates. This makes it an effective boss DPS sniper to pair with something like an Auto-Loading Holster Rocket Launcher.
If you're playing solo PvE, it's better to go with Alloy Magazine, No Distractions, and Vorpal Weapon instead. Alloy Magazine boosts your reload speed when your magazine is empty, while No Distractions reduces incoming flinch and makes it easier to land critical hits. Vorpal Weapon only provides a 15% damage buff to bosses and Champions compared to Firing Line's 20, but you don't need to be near allies for it to proc.
Defiance of Yasmin is also an excellent sniper for PvP. The best roll for the Crucible is Extended Barrel, Accurized Rounds, Snapshot Sights, and Opening Shot. The former two perks boost your range, which in turn increases your aim assist and makes it easier for you to "stick" your reticle on an enemy player's head. Snapshot Sights and Opening Shot, meanwhile, allow you to quickly aim down your sights and boost the first round in your magazine with improved accuracy, respectively. Alternatively, you could swap out Snapshot Sights for No Distractions or Opening Shot with Moving Target if you want to cancel out flinch from incoming fire or stay as accurate as possible while strafing.
Midha's Reckoning perks and god rolls
- Weapon Class: High-Impact Frame 960 Charge Time Fusion Rifle (Arc)
- PvE God Roll: Chambered Compensator, Accelerated Coils, Unrelenting/Cornered/Field Prep, Reservoir Burst
- PvP God Roll: Smallbore, Accelerated Coils, Hip-Fire Grip, Tap the Trigger
If you never managed to get a good PLUG ONE.1 with Feeding Frenzy and Reservoir Burst, the Midha's Reckoning is here to make your day. Our chosen PvE god roll features Chambered Compensator for good stability and recoil control, Accelerated Coils for a faster charge time, Unrelenting for health regeneration after rapid kills, and Reservoir Burst for explosive first shots in the magazine. Notably, the extra rounds that get loaded into your magazine after you proc the Runneth Over Origin Trait all count as your first shot, which means you can fire several explosive Reservoir Burst rounds in a row and do plenty of area-of-effect damage. This makes it extremely easy to proc Unrelenting and regenerate health instantly whenever you're fighting a large group of ads. You could also trade Unrelenting for Cornered or Field Prep to make your charge time or reload speed faster, respectively.
This Fusion Rifle also has some awesome PvP rolls, including the stable and accurate setup of Smallbore, Accelerated Coils, Hip-Fire Grip, and Tap the Trigger. The first two perks buff your range, stability, and charge time, while Hip-Fire Grip and Tap the Trigger significantly improve your stability and accuracy when firing from the hip and when you begin pulling the trigger.
Zaouli's Bane perks and god rolls
- Weapon Class: Adaptive Frame 140 RPM Hand Cannon (Solar)
- PvE God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Accurized Rounds, Explosive Payload, Incandescent/One for All
- PvP God Roll: Hammer-Forged Rifling, Accurized Rounds, Explosive Payload/Opening Shot, Eye of the Storm
Last but certainly not least is the Zaouli's Bane Hand Cannon. It doesn't have a large number of great perks like some of the other King's Fall weapons do, but the best perks it does have are amazing. For PvE, your best bet is to go with Explosive Payload and Incandescent, a newer perk introduced in Season 17 that causes enemies to spread stacks of Solar 3.0 Scorch to other nearby foes when killed, which eventually causes an Ignition that causes them to blow up in a Solar explosion. It's basically a more potent version of Firefly since it doesn't require critical kills to proc, and since Explosive Payload slightly buffs bullet damage and removes damage falloff, it's incredibly easy to rack up plenty of final blows against mobs and get tons of Scorch stacks and Ignitions rolling.
This roll is very similar to the Sunshot Exotic Hand Cannon. However, since the Zaouli's Bane is a Legendary, you're getting all of the same ad clear power without having to sacrifice your ability to use a meta Exotic like Witherhoard, Gjallahorn, or Sleeper Simulant.
The best roll for PvP is somewhat "standard," although it's still a beast in the Crucible regardless. Hammer-Forged Rifling and Accurized Rounds give you some strong range boosts, while Explosive Payload flinches enemies, does some extra damage, removes falloff, and provides a small range buff as well (Opening Shot works too since it makes your first shot more accurate, though we prefer Explosive Payload overall). Eye of the Storm is the best option in the final column, as improved accuracy whenever you take damage makes it easier to win duels against other players.
Destiny 2 King's Fall: How to get Touch of Malice
In addition to all of the Legendary Raid weapons discussed above, King's Fall also gives players the opportunity to earn the Touch of Malice Exotic Scout Rifle. It has quickly become one of the most popular Exotic primary weapons in the game since its unique effect makes the final round in the magazine last forever and deal significantly increased damage by slowly draining your health, which you can offset with healing abilities. Precision hits also charge up a ball of Darkness energy that you can fire at foes with your alternate fire input, blinding and temporarily debuffing them.
This weapon was originally available in the first Destiny game after the completion of King's Fall and required players to complete a quest. In Destiny 2, though, the process of acquiring the weapon is different. To get the Touch of Malice, you simply need to defeat Oryx in the final encounter of the Raid. However, the weapon only has a small chance to drop from the final chest, and you only get one drop chance per week on each of your characters. This means that you have a maximum of three attempts per week to get the Touch of Malice; if it doesn't drop for you after the third try, you have to wait until the next weekly reset before you can try again. Note that the drop chance goes up each time you don't get the weapon, so you will eventually get it.
King's Fall weapons like the Touch of Malice and all of the other excellent Legendaries discussed in this article are great guns to chase ahead of the launch of the Destiny 2: Lightfall expansion. It's slated to arrive on Feb. 28, 2023, and will include a brand-new story campaign set on Neptune, a new Raid, tons of new weapons and armors, and more. Destiny 2: Lightfall preorders are available now for $50, and notably, the DLC includes the Season Pass for the first season of Destiny 2 Year Six.
Destiny 2: Lightfall
The upcoming Lightfall expansion takes players to the neon-soaked city of Neomuna on Neptune and pits them against the fearsome Shadow Legion — all while the threat of Darkness pyramids, The Witness, and his new disciple Emperor Calus looms overhead.

Pambili earns support from Ministry of Mines and Mining Development
Chief Executive Officer, of Pambili Natural Resources Jon Harris has recently met with Farayi Ngulube, Provincial Mining Director for Matabeleland North, in Bulawayo to introduce Pambili and discuss the Corporation’s plans to create local prosperity through capital expansion of Zimbabwe’s Happy Valley Mine (“HVM”).
Harris and Simisani Kupe, CEO of Techshed Investments, the owner of HVM, spoke with
Ngulube about Pambili’s Earn-in agreement with TSI, and Pambili’s long-term plan in helping to formalise small-scale mining in Zimbabwe through selective capital investments.
“Zimbabwe’s mining sector is enjoying unprecedented growth, and we were pleased to have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Ngulube and announce our presence in Zimbabwe. Our ambition to support small-scale mining operations — which account for a significant portion of mining activity in the country — was well received by Mr. Ngulube,” said Harris.
“A supportive and productive relationship with the Zimbabwean government is key to the Corporation as we create prosperity through our ongoing efforts,” he added.
In December 2021, Pambili announced an earn-in agreement and an oversubscribed C$515,000 non-brokered private placement for Happy Valley Mine, a producing gold mine near Bulawayo, which was subsequently approved by the TSX Venture Exchange in April 2022. As part of the earn-in agreement, C$200,000 has been allocated to capital expansion of the Happy Valley Mine, while a drilling program recommended by the NI 43-101 technical report on the HVM is already underway.
Artisanal-scale mining is common across Zimbabwe and plays a significant role in local mining activities.
Pambili’s long-range plan includes:
• Identifying small-scale producing gold mines that currently generate cash but lack the capital required to develop their full potential;
• Pursuing earn-in opportunities to provide these mines with access to the capital hitherto unavailable to them;
• Effectively “formalizing” small-scale mining operations by investing in industry best practice procedures and processes;
• Proving Pambili’s business model to the government, thereby gaining continued support for Pambili’s activities.
In July, President Emmerson Mnangagwa cited the country’s target of US$12 billion in earnings for the country’s mining sector by 2023, and noted Zimbabwe’s 2021 sector earnings of US$5.9 billion, as he opened the 25th edition of the Mining, Engineering and Transport Conference in Bulawayo.
“The importance of natural resources, and in particular minerals, towards driving sustainable socio-economic development cannot be overemphasized,” he said, pledging to maintain a receptive business environment to attract local and global capital and grow established entities. I invite more investors to take advantage of the numerous opportunities in areas of exploration, mineral extraction, mineral processing, value addition and beneficiation,” he said. “Plans are in place for the accelerated value addition and beneficiation of minerals such as gold,” among other commodities.
HVM has the installed capacity to process 40 tonnes of rock per day but, due to capital constraints, is currently processing less than half that amount. Through these capital expansion efforts, Pambili can almost immediately begin earning a return on its investment in operations. | https://zifmstereo.co.zw/pambili-earns-support-from-ministry-of-mines-and-mining-development/ | 2022-08-31T20:57:55Z | https://zifmstereo.co.zw/pambili-earns-support-from-ministry-of-mines-and-mining-development/ | false | 1 |
Konami to reveal new game from franchise 'loved around the world' at TGS 2022
Sources have indicated that the reveal is unlikely to be related to Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, or Silent Hill.
Konami has been in a lot of rumor mills in the past few years. After all, the Japanese developer and publisher still sits on some of the most beloved IP in the world and many fans would love to see something new. It’s slow going with a bit of promise here and there, but at Tokyo Game Show 2022, it seems Konami will have something new to show. Don’t get your hopes up too high for a new Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, or Castlevania reveal though. Sources close to the publisher have claimed it won’t be any of these often-rumored revivals.
Konami published its itinerary of events for Tokyo Game Show 2022 fairly recently. It was on this itinerary that a prominent “new release” announcement appeared. Titled “Konami new release announced,” the section will take place on September 16 at 3:30pm JST (11:30 p.m. PT / 2:30 p.m. ET).
“Voice actor Yuji Kaji will be invited as a guest to represent the fans of a series which is loved all over the world, on the announcement stage for a new Konami title,” the event reads.
Lest we get excited about the possibility of a Castlevania or Silent Hill reveal, it seems that’s not going to be the case here. Sources close to the publisher have claimed that Konami’s supposed revivals of Silent Hill, Metal Gear, and Castlevania are likely to be held for later events, such as The Game Awards 2022.
Yuji Kaji doesn’t provide many clues either. The voice actor has played numerous roles throughout movies, animated series, and video games, but one of his few Konami credits is Suikoden Tierkreis for the Nintendo DS in 2008, as well as Genso Suikoden: Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki in 2012 on the PSP. A Suikoden game seems like a longshot among other possibilities. Konami also already revealed a new Bomberman game coming in 2023 in the form of Super Bomberman R 2.
It's not out of the question that Konami could tease new Silent Hill, Metal Gear, or Castlevania projects at Tokyo Game Show 2022, but what will actually be revealed remains a mystery. Stay tuned as we keep an eye out for new details and updates leading up to the TGS 2022 event.

About time. Seems like we have to keep going back to TG, MegaDrive, Saturn era consoles for GOOD Bomberman experiences. My RPi is sat around for the sole purpose of playing Megadrive Bomberman with friends every now and then.
Would love to see a good modern version. But I suspect they’ll go too 3D and floaty and it’ll play like crap.
Please prove me wrong Konami!!

CHAMPAIGN — Josh McCray being helped to the sideline Saturday at Memorial Stadium appeared problematic when it came to the Illinois sophomore running back's status moving forward this season.
McCray hobbling out of the medical tent, right knee wrapped in ice, and then needing assistance off the field wasn't a better sight.
The news Wednesday from Illinois coach Bret Bielema alleviated at least the primary concern. McCray's injury wasn't season-ending, but there's no set timetable for his return either. On Monday, Bielema ruled McCray out for the Illini's game at Indiana on Friday night, and he reiterated that point on Wednesday.
"Josh remains out for this week," Bielema said. "The tests have come back. It's really about how his body handles it. It's not a season-ending injury, but it's about how he handles certain stressors and certain things as his body gets better. It won't be before our first bye week, for sure. It's a work in progress."
After Friday's Big Ten opener at Indiana, the Illini (1-0) home for a Sept. 10 game against Virginia. Then comes the first of two bye weeks, with a Sept. 22 home game against Chattanooga at least a potential, but certainly not guaranteed, return date for McCray.
McCray rushed eight times for 33 yards against Wyoming before his injury. The 6-foot-1, 235-pounder out of Enterprise, Ala., entered the 2022 season as Illinois' No. 2 running back after finishing his breakout freshman year with 112 carries for 549 yards and two touchdowns.
The game plan without McCray for Friday's game at Indiana changes by default given his unique stature and skill set among the Illinois running backs. Chase Brown is the go-to option for the Illini after he rushed for 151 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns against Wyoming, but who gets significant carries after Brown is still to be determined.
"We know that he's different than the other backs," Illinois offensive coordinator Barry Lunney Jr. said Wednesday "Does it change? Yeah, maybe a little bit. We're certainly going to miss him in that regard. There's some things he brings to the table that are unique to the room. But we've got a lot of good depth and a lot of experience there." | https://www.news-gazette.com/sports/mccrays-injury-not-season-ending/article_2563476c-da5f-574e-b298-8a3fba0f8cdb.html | 2022-08-31T20:59:16Z | https://www.news-gazette.com/sports/mccrays-injury-not-season-ending/article_2563476c-da5f-574e-b298-8a3fba0f8cdb.html | true | 1 |

Canadian banks' climate commitments lag expectations of UN-led coalition: Greenpeace
Canada's biggest banks could be pushed out of a UN-backed, net-zero emissions coalition if they don't boost their climate commitments, a report released Wednesday by Greenpeace Canada says.
The report focuses on updated standards released in June that lay out more clearly the expectation of members of the Race to Zero coalition.
Greenpeace Canada senior energy strategist Keith Stewart said the banks aren't currently meeting the new, stricter standards.
“This is really significant that the UN is basically ... saying we're not going to let our name be used to advance claims that are more PR than reality,” Steward said.
Last year RBC, TD, CIBC, BMO and Scotiabank all joined the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, led by former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney. The alliance, which is anchored by the Race to Zero rules and criteria, commits the banks to reaching net-zero financed emissions by 2050 and to set interim reduction targets to be achieved by 2030.
When the banks joined there was little guidance around those interim targets, though the alliance urged members to be aggressive when setting them as the next few years are crucial in determining how bad climate change will get.
The June update from Race to Zero however, calls for interim targets to be a “fair share” of the 50 per cent reduction of global emissions needed by 2030.
The update also emphasized the need for targets to cover all emission types, both direct and indirect, and the need for corporations to restrict the development and financing of new fossil fuel projects.
In releasing the refined criteria, the group said it was making explicit what had previously been implicit in the guidelines to “clearly show those actors who are truly moving ahead versus those who are trying to find loopholes.”
Stewart said Canadian banks are falling behind those standards both on the interim targets, and their overall funding for the fossil fuel industry.
“The implication in the Race to Zero criteria ... is no new fossil fuels, and cut your finance fossil fuels in half by 2030, which is a much bigger step than anything most global banks are really doing right now, and certainly the Canadian banks who are increasing their funding of fossil fuels,” Steward said.
Four of Canada's biggest banks released their 2030 targets earlier this year, which range from 24 per cent to 35 per cent reductions in financed emissions, while RBC says it expects to release targets this fall.
The bank targets also go against the guidance to have absolute reduction targets. Other than one part of the BMO target, Canadian bank goals are intensity based rather than absolute, meaning that while the emissions per barrel of oil produced may be going down, the number of financed barrels can still go up.
Banks have framed their continued funding of fossil fuel companies as being necessary for the transition, as stated in the Canadian Bankers Association's response to the Greenpeace report.
“Banks will continue to work with their clients in the oil and gas industry to help them transition to a more sustainable future ... by funding pathways to sustainability, banks are helping Canada progressively reduce its emissions while also helping meet energy demands in a volatile global context.”
Individually, banks also emphasize their role in helping companies transition, with RBC saying “the biggest impact RBC can make is helping our clients' transition,” CIBC saying “we are accelerating our efforts as we work with our clients through this transition,” and BMO stating its climate ambition is to be its clients' lead partner in the transition.
Stewart, however, said that most Canadian bank funding to fossil fuel companies, which between 2016 and 2021 totalled $911 billion, is being done without any required links to a transition to a net-zero world.
“They're giving blanket lines of credit to these companies. And so as long as the company has on their books fossil fuel expansion programs, that's what they're funding.”
He said scrutiny of this funding will increase as groups like the Glasgow alliance warn transition funding requires vigorous scrutiny to avoid the “greenwashing of business-as-usual financing activity.”
The rules around membership criteria, and what it would take to kick someone out of these international climate coalitions, are still evolving. Pressure, however, is increasing, especially as the deadly and destructive effects of climate change increase.
Along with extreme droughts in Europe, China, the Horn of Africa and the U.S. Southwest, this week saw extreme rainfall in Pakistan that has killed over 1,000 people, about a third of them children.
United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres said the flooding was a climate catastrophe and action needs to be taken to prevent worse to come.
“Let's stop sleepwalking towards the destruction of our planet by climate change,” he said in a statement.
“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.”
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 31, 2022.

Sir Lenny Henry has said he feels fantasy franchises are “trying to be more inclusive” than they were with casting and storytelling.
The 64-year-old comedian and actor stars as Sadoc Burrows in the upcoming Lord of the Rings series titled The Rings Of Power, which is inspired by author JRR Tolkien’s extended notes.
Despite the progress that has been made, he said that some “purists” have more trouble believing that a black actor could play a hobbit or an elf than believing in a dragon.
Reflecting on how fantasy franchises are diversifying more, he told British GQ: “There’s a real sense of trying to be more inclusive than we were in this world.”
However, he noted that House of the Dragon star Steve Toussaint has said that “purists” have been saying things about his casting in the new Games of Thrones prequel series.
“They have no trouble believing in a dragon, but they do have trouble believing that a black person could be a member of the court,” Henry said.
“Or that a black person could be a hobbit or an elf … storytellers can do what they want, because they’re storytellers.
“In the reimagining of these stories from 1,000 years ago, they are not part of the canon that everybody knows, this is a reimagining and reweaving of the story.
“And (Rings of Power showrunners) JD Payne and Patrick McKay have just gone, ‘What if?’ The greatest two words in storytelling: What if?”
The series, which sees an almost unrecognisable Henry as a Harfoot – a Hobbit predecessor – is set thousands of years before the events of the world-renowned The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings books, and follows the events of the Second Age and the forging of the famous rings.
Unite against the darkness. #TheRingsOfPower debuts September 1 at 9pm ET/September 2 at 2am UK.
Weekly episodes available Fridays at 12am ET, only on @PrimeVideo. pic.twitter.com/TL1Ao1pqRV— The Lord of the Rings on Prime (@LOTRonPrime) August 30, 2022
Aside from stepping into Tolkien’s popular fantasy world, the actor has also recently featured in Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman in a voiceover role and he will be a lead star in a prequel series for The Witcher.
Henry said he would have loved to have been involved in the original Lord of the Rings trilogy but added that “change takes a long time”.
Reflecting on the impact of being the only black person in the room during the early days of his career, he said it made him feel like he had to “defend” himself and stand up for what he believed in.
He explained: “”Whenever you walk into a room, and you’re the only black person or the only woman or the only gay person or the only person that has a disability or the only working-class person, you really have an introspective moment of ‘Okay, I’m here again’. It’s just me, right?
“So you feel like you have to defend yourself, you have to kind of stand up for what you believe in and where you’re from.
“So, you spend a lot of time putting forward your point of view, or interpreting your point of view for people who don’t know what you’re talking about.
“What’s great about the last five years, is that people are slowly beginning to understand what we’ve been going on about it for the last 20.”

Lawyers: Eastman advised to plead the Fifth in Georgia probe
ATLANTA (AP) — Lawyers for John Eastman, a lead architect of some of Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in power after the 2020 election, said Wednesday they advised their client to assert attorney-client privilege and invoke his constitutional right to remain silent when testifying before a special grand jury investigating possible illegal election interference in Georgia.
Charles Burnham and Harvey Silverglate confirmed in a statement that Eastman had appeared before the panel in Fulton County, complying with a summons from the district attorney. They declined to comment on the questions or testimony, citing respect for the secrecy of the grand jury process.
Eastman is one of a number of Trump advisers, attorneys and allies whose testimony Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has sought to compel in the case. Former New York mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, who’s been told he may face criminal charges in the investigation, testified in mid-August. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, is fighting his subpoena. Willis filed petitions last week seeking the testimony of former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump-allied attorney Sidney Powell, among others. And conservative attorney L. Lin Wood Jr. said this week he’s been told Willis wants him to appear.
Willis’ investigation began early last year, shortly after a recording of a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger became public. In that call, Trump suggested the state’s top election official could “find” the votes needed to overturn his narrow loss in the state. But it has become clear that the scope of the probe has broadened considerably since then.
In their statement Wednesday, Eastman’s attorneys accused Willis of embarking on “an unprecedented path of criminalizing controversial or disfavored legal theories.”
As Trump and his allies began a campaign to spread false claims about the election, Eastman circulated what was essentially an academic proposal challenging the workings of the 130-year-old Electoral Count Act that governs the process for tallying the election results in Congress.
The first part of the plan was to put in place a slate of “alternate” electors in seven battleground states to sign certificates falsely stating that Trump, not Democrat Joe Biden, had won their states. Willis has told the 16 Georgia Republicans who joined that effort that they are targets of her investigation.
The second part of the proposal involved convincing then-Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to count some of the electoral votes won by Biden when presiding over Congress the certification of election results on Jan. 6, 2021. But Pence refused to stray from his ceremonial role that day, even as Trump supporters broke into the Capitol, chanting for him to be hung.
Wood, who sued unsuccessfully to block the certification of Georgia’s election results, said Wednesday that he’s willing to testify before the special grand jury.
Wood said a lawyer who represents him in a separate matter told him late last week that Willis’ office wants to subpoena him to testify. But he said he hadn’t received a formal request and didn’t know when they would want to see him.
“If they want to ask me questions, I’m happy to answer them,” Wood told The Associated Press by phone. “I have nothing to hide.”
Wood has long been known for his representation of high-profile clients — including Richard Jewell, who was wrongly accused in the 1996 Olympic bombing in Atlanta — particularly in defamation cases.
In a document filed last week seeking to compel Powell’s testimony, Willis noted that Wood hosted meetings at his home in South Carolina “for the purpose of exploring options to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere.” Powell asked Wood, who’s licensed as a lawyer in Georgia, to help find Georgia residents who would be willing to serve as plaintiffs in lawsuits contesting the election results in the state, the petition says.
Wood said he didn’t know Powell well at the time but that she got in touch and asked if a group could meet at his home in late November 2020. He agreed to reach out to some prominent Georgia Republicans on Powell’s behalf, but said he doesn’t remember exactly who he called and whether they ended up joining any lawsuit filed by Powell.
The lawsuits filed by Powell and Wood were among many that were filed around the country in the wake of the 2020 election, many of them claiming that widespread election fraud had occurred. The lawsuits were ultimately dismissed, and state and federal election officials have consistently said there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the election.

I love a good pile of hashbrowns with breakfast. The only problem is that it can be hit or miss whether a restaurant’s version will meet my high expectations for my favorite shredded potato dish. It’s a simple enough dish to master, right?
The most likely problem if I’m disappointed is they have not been cooked enough. Since “brown” is a part of name, you would think everyone would make sure there is ample crispy golden bits to enjoy.
Since I’m a little obsessed about this, I developed a made-from-scratch recipe that amplifies the surface area for maximum hashbrown browning, adds a little kick, and turns this typical side dish into a main event. It takes a bit of time to make the most perfect hashbrowns, so I save them for Saturdays when I’m not in a rush — hence the name “Weekend Hashbrowns.”
The recipe starts with cooking some bacon. It can come in handy for topping at the end, if (and that’s a big “if”) you can hold off eating all the bacon while the hashbrowns slowly cook. If you are able to save all of the bacon, please email me to notify me of this modern-day miracle.
People are also reading…
The bacon grease is what you will use to cook the hashbrowns. How many times have you thrown it away? That used to be the case in my house, but no more. That flavorful fat is what helps crisp up this scrumptious concoction.
The unorthodox thing about my hashbrowns is the fact that I don’t boil the potatoes ahead of frying. You don’t even wash off the starch. That will surprise some folks, but it leads to another secret. The starch helps the strands of potatoes stick together, thereby creating a singular mass that is like a big potato pancake. After cooking both sides of the cylinder, the interior is a perfectly soft texture that is almost like the inside of a French fry.
The final mandatory step after the Weekend Hashbrowns have cooked is to add a good deal of cheese. This goes right on top, and overlaps with the edge within the pan to create the most deliciously crisp cheese skirt. Top with roasted green chilies, a fried egg, salsa, some chili, or whatever is leftover of that bacon.
Now let me ask you — what do you have planned for this weekend?
Weekend Hashbrowns
(Serves 2-3 people)
Ingredients:
5-6 strips of bacon (2 tbsp fat)
2 pounds potatoes peeled
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
10-12 dashes green hot sauce
6 oz of Colby Jack or Cheddar Jack
Directions:
The first thing you are going to want to have is a really good 12” non-stick pan. If you have a non-stick pan that is worn down, your potatoes may still get stuck to the bottom. You’ll thank me when it comes to the flip.
Cook your bacon and set aside for later (or just don’t eat all of it). You’ll want no less than about 2 tbsp of bacon fat for when the potatoes go in it. While the bacon is cooking, peel and shred your potatoes with a large grater. Use a few paper towels to soak up a little bit of the water.
Add the potatoes to a pan with the bacon fat on medium-low heat. Season with the salt, pepper and hot sauce. Mix very well to make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed and all the potatoes get coated in a bit of the fat. Flatten the potatoes out around the pan to an even thickness, and cover in aluminum foil.
Cook on medium-low heat for 15 minutes. This is doing two things — it’s helping to cook and soften all of the potatoes, while also gradually and gently creating a golden-brown crust on the bottom.
Go in with a fork and pull the hashbrowns away from the edge and off the bottom of the pan. Rotate the hashbrowns 180 degrees in the pan, but don’t flip them yes as they need to continue cooking on that side. Cook for another 10-15 minutes on medium-low covered with foil. Lift the bottom and look to see if it is golden brown and crispy.
At this point, it needs to be flipped, which can be done in several different ways:
1. A mid-air flip just using a flick of your wrist. If you are not used to this, you can do it anyway and it may fail. But do this enough times each weekend, and you’ll be a pro.
2. Use a spatula or even two spatulas to flip it in one motion.
3. Slide it onto a large paper plate. Flip the plate over into the pan that is off the heat momentarily.
At this point, it needs to brown on this other side. Cover it again with foil and let it go 15 minutes. Rotate the hashbrowns 180 degrees and let them go another 10 minutes covered.
Shred your cheese while it cooks on the final side. Lift the foil and place the cheese all over the top of the hashbrowns, going all the way to the edge. Any cheese that crisps up against the edge of the pan will become a delicious cheese skirt. Allow it to melt covered with foil for at least five minutes.
Take it out and use a pizza cutter to make wedges. Top with any leftover bacon, a fried egg, chili, salsa, crisped-up ham, or roasted green chiles.

The budget proposal sent to Congress on Wednesday predicted a 2023 primary budget deficit of 63.7 billion reais ($12.25 billion), close to the 65.9 billion reais deficit officially set as the government's fiscal target for next year.
If confirmed, spending by the central government will outstrip revenue by the highest amount since 2020, when the primary deficit reached 743.5 billion reais amid large amounts spent to fight the pandemic.
As Reuters reported last week, the 2023 budget bill kept tax reductions on fuels in line with President Jair Bolsonaro's pledge that federal taxes would remain zeroed for gasoline, diesel, ethanol and cooking gas.
According to the bill, fuel exemptions will amount to 52.9 billion reais in 2023, also benefiting compressed natural gas (CNG) and aviation kerosene.
The budget proposal also set 14.2 billion reais aside to finance higher wages for public servants.
Bolsonaro, who is seeking reelection in October but currently trails former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in opinion polls, also promised to keep cash handouts for low-income families at 600 reais next year, but the budget bill planned for payments of 400 reais a month.
The decrease was already expected because the government cannot simply increase the program, at an estimated cost of 52 billion reais, as that would exceed the constitutional spending cap, which limits the growth of public expenditures.
In a press conference, Special Treasury and Budget Secretary Esteves Colnago said the government would seek funding for this extra cost so that it does not increase the fiscal deficit.
"We will talk to Congress after the elections to find the sources for this expenditure," he said.
Colnago estimated that next year's primary balance should be better than predicted in the budget bill, adding that this year's surplus should reach 0.2% to 0.3% of GDP.
