For more than 20 years, Doug Hicks has taught countless aspects of wellness to New Albany students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Hicks describes the class as a combination of physical education and health, but with a little extra.
“It's more diverse and inclusive,” he says. “We do a lot of social interactions, cooperative activities.”
Hicks began teaching in New Albany in 1998, just as the school’s wellness program was being revamped. He worked with fellow teachers Jim Joseph and Jonathan Braund to build the curriculum. Braund, who works with children with special needs, was able to integrate those students’ needs into the curriculum as well.
Hicks teaches four kindergarten classes a day, and two classes with fourth-graders alongside Joseph. In the lessons, Hicks strives to build the “champion triangle.”
The first leg, he says, is self-direction and being involved. The second leg is caring, kindness and being a good sport. The final leg, completing the triangle, is working to develop leadership skills.
“(The lessons are) active and cooperative and fun games for kids to get along and build their skills,” Hicks says. “We try to get them to have self-control in their movement.”
Through the lessons, he says, kids develop skills to problem-solve on their own.
The problem-solving skills are taught to the children with the simple formula of E (event) + R (response) = O (outcome). The lessons strive to build up what Hicks calls “champion confidence.”
The care put into the lessons is what makes the classes so successful for New Albany-Plain Local Schools.
Scott Emery, director of elementary education, says the classes offer far more than physical activity.
“While the classes are active and fun as a child would hope for when visiting the school gym, our teachers go beyond physical education and into promoting proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle,” Emery says.
Hicks describes the lessons as 40 minutes of organized chaos.
They begin with a “champion talk,” where he lays out the day’s lesson plan. Next, the class gets moving with a jog to warm up, then has “explore time,” in which students are able to freely play with equipment. This can be tossing a ball, twirling a hula hoop or even juggling scarves.
“This is their time to work with an activity in a safe way and try and develop skills on their own without me or always being coach-led,” Hicks says.
The lesson continues with a cooperative activity for fitness. Then the class participates in a game-type activity, like a traditional physical class. They finish up with a cool-down and words of affirmation from Hicks. After 40 minutes, the next class enters and the same lesson starts again.
Hicks always had an interest in becoming a teacher, and through his class, he’s able to combine his interest with his passion for sports and fitness.
“I had some tremendous teachers and coaches when I was young,” he says. “(I thought), ‘I could see myself doing that.’ That guided me, and the connection with sports and kids in general. You start to learn the influence of great teachers and great coaches. It's what I wanted to do.”
Hicks was raised in Gahanna, and while growing up, he was an active student athlete. He ran track, wrestled and played football, which he continued to play as a college student at Ohio University, where he studied health and physical education. He went on to earn a master’s degree from Ashland University in sport and exercise science.
Hicks began his career at Columbus Academy, where he taught health, physical education and an exercise physiology program in high school and after school. He coached football, wrestling and track before moving to New Albany.
Outside of the classroom, Hicks continued coaching varsity football and wrestling. Most recently, he coached middle school football, but he’s scaled back in order to spend more time with his family.
Hicks’ wife, Mary, works at Huntington Bank. Their two sons, Dalton and Dylan, both attended Kent State University. Dalton played football, and Dylan was in Army ROTC and is now a second lieutenant in the Army. Their daughter, DeLannie, studied biology and biochemistry at The Ohio State University. She and her husband, Trey, have given Hicks his first grandchild, 2-year-old Charlotte.
Hicks believes in the importance of teaching wellness to students from a young age.
“(Teaching wellness) creates that foundation, and then you can add onto that foundation,” he says. “It’s like building a building. We’re trying to build that confidence in students to be able to handle situations.”
Hicks practices what he teaches, benefiting from the principles of wellness every day.
“It’s doing the right things when nobody’s watching, part of integrity, and being a good sport,” he says. “All those overlaps … guided me, these fundamentals of these life skills. Basically, what you learn in kindergarten, some of those things are going to stay with you throughout your life.”

Cheniere Energy, the biggest U.S. exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), outlined an expansion plan of its 1,000-plus acre Corpus Christi Liquefaction facility (CCL) located in the Corpus Christi Bay in San Patricio County, Texas.
The company submitted a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requesting a pre-filing review for the proposed Corpus Christi Liquefaction Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project. According to the letter, the proposed project would expand the previously approved liquefaction project and Stage 3 project facilities.
Cheniere is looking to add two midscale liquefaction trains; a refrigerant storage facility; a full-containment, aboveground, 220,000m3 LNG storage tank with loading capabilities; appurtenant connecting facilities and piping; and an increase in CCL’s previously approved ship loading rates.
The company plans to file a formal application with FERC in February 2023 upon completion and approval of the commission’s mandatory six-month pre-filing process. Construction would begin in October 2024 with a projected in-service date during the second half of 2031.
Earlier this summer, Cheniere announced its positive financial investment decision for the expansion of the 10+ million tonnes per annum of LNG Corpus Christi Stage 3 Liquefaction Project.
"Reaching FID on Corpus Christi Stage 3 represents an important milestone for Cheniere as we move forward on this significant growth project, which will strengthen our market-leading LNG infrastructure platform, provide much-needed volumes to the global LNG market by the end of 2025, and create long-term value for our stakeholders,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s president and CEO in a previous company statement. | https://www.bicmagazine.com/industry/natgas-lng/cheniere-energy-expands-corpus-christi-lng/ | 2022-09-01T01:02:31Z | https://www.bicmagazine.com/industry/natgas-lng/cheniere-energy-expands-corpus-christi-lng/ | false | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — At first, Republicans were highly critical of the FBI search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, but as new details emerge about the more than 100 classified documents the former president haphazardly stashed at his private club Republicans have grown notably silent.
The deepening investigation into Trump's handling of sensitive government information has disclosed damaging and unsettling new details. With every court filing there is new information about the cache of documents the former president took with him from the White House and the potential national security concerns. While the unprecedented search has galvanized many Republicans to Trump's defense, others in the party are unwilling to speak up, often wary of crossing him.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell declined to respond Wednesday when asked about the latest developments in the Justice Department's probe.
"I don't have any observations about that," McConnell told reporters in Kentucky.
The silence speaks volumes for a party whose president won the White House after rousing voters in rally chants of "Lock Her Up!" Trump pilloried Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton for using a personal email account and server during her time as Secretary of State. She quickly complied with investigators and was not charged.
The investigation also is posing a new test of Republican loyalty to Trump from lawmakers who are relying on him for their political livelihoods, particularly ahead of the midterm elections.
Battle lines among Republicans infighting over Trump quickly emerged Wednesday after the latest court filing, in which Justice Department said that the FBI's Aug. 8 search had produced more than 100 documents with "classified markings" at Mar-a-Lago — twice as many as Trump's team had turned over earlier this summer.
In Tuesday's late filing, the Justice Department laid out in stark detail how it had developed evidence "that government records were likely concealed and removed" from a storage room at Trump's Mar-a-Lago.
The filing described the lengthy process of trying to retrieve government documents taken when Trump left the White House in early 2021. The Justice Department explained how Trump's legal team had said documents were only been kept in the storage room, but the search also found documents in the former president's office. It said some of the newly found documents were so sensitive that even Justice Department attorneys and FBI counterintelligence personnel required additional clearances before they could review the material.
The Justice Department said "efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government's investigation." It produced a photograph of some of the classified documents found, as evidence. The filing said flatly that the government believes "obstructive conduct" has occurred.
Republican Rep. Liz Cheney — one of the former president's fiercest critics, who recently lost her own primary for reelection — tweeted the photo: "Yet more indefensible conduct by Donald Trump revealed this morning."
But Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, once a rival to Trump for the White House, has saved his criticizing for federal law enforcement as he defended the former president.
"The FBI's raid was a horrific 'abuse of power,'" Cruz tweeted just before the Tuesday filing. He said "there needs to be 'a complete housecleaning' at FBI."
He was among several Republican lawmakers and congressional candidates who were fundraising this week off their complaints about the Justice Department. Cruz's office did not respond to a request for fresh comments Wednesday.
The Texas senator is not alone in turning his criticism away from Trump and onto the federal authorities conducting the investigation and search. The Republican Party that once stood for law and order has been cleaved by Trump's actions, some in the starkest, most alarming tones.
In the immediate aftermath of the search, Republicans largely rallied around Trump and demanded more information from the Justice Department. House and Senate Republicans, and some Democrats, sought hearings and briefings.
But as new information emerges, including the court's release last week of the federal affidavit supporting the search and Tuesday's Justice Department filing, it may make it more difficult for Trump's allies to defend the former president and his team's actions.
Some Republican supporters of Trump focused on the photograph of classified documents included as evidence in the Justice Department filing. Though the documents were shielded, the critics suggested if the information was so secret it should not have been publicly released. "You people are so bad at this," tweeted Trump ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., directing her criticism as much at Democrats and those sharing the image.
The risks of the heated rhetoric against the nation's law enforcement have been been clear. A police shooting of a man who tried to breach the FBI's Cincinnati field office showed the danger. FBI Director Christopher Wray criticized those attacking the agency and urged agents to be cautious in public.
Ahead of the midterm elections, Trump's ability to dominate the political stage is welcomed by House Republicans who are relying on his presence to bolster voter enthusiasm and turnout as they try to win back majority control. Some have encouraged him to swiftly announce his own campaign to run again for the White House.
Senate Republicans, however, are growing concerned that Trump is stealing the focus away from what they would prefer to be an election referendum on President Joe Biden's performance in the White House.
As Biden steps up his own efforts to help his party retain control of Congress, he is focusing on Trump-styled candidates in the Republican ranks, with a more aggressive tone and an emphasis on the risks to democracy that have become a motivating issue for Democrats.
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, a former federal prosecutor, said the latest court filing was "devastating" for Trump.
"What is most striking are the facts outlining how the former president and his team knowingly put our national security at risk," Schiff wrote on Twitter.
The congressman, who led Trump's first impeachment, urged the Justice Department to continue its probe and "follow the facts."

JUNEAU, Alaska — Democrat Mary Peltola won the special election for Alaska's only U.S. House seat on Wednesday, besting a field that included Republican Sarah Palin, who was seeking a political comeback in the state where she was once governor.
Peltola, who is Yup'ik and turned 49 on Wednesday, will become the first Alaska Native to serve in the House and the first woman to hold the seat. She will serve the remaining months of the late Republican U.S. Rep. Don Young's term. Young held the seat for 49 years before his death in March.
"I'm honored and humbled by the support I have received from across Alaska," Peltola said in a statement. "I look forward to continuing Don Young's legacy of bipartisanship, serving all Alaskans and building support for Alaska's interests in DC."
Peltola's victory, coming in Alaska's first statewide ranked choice voting election, is a boon for Democrats, particularly coming off better-than-expected performances in special elections around the country this year following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. She will be the first Democrat to hold the seat since the late U.S. Rep. Nick Begich, who was seeking reelection in 1972 when his plane disappeared. Begich was later declared dead and Young in 1973 was elected to the seat.
Peltola ran as a coalition builder while her two Republican opponents — Palin and Begich's grandson, also named Nick Begich — at times went after each other. Palin also railed against the ranked voting system, which was instituted by Alaska voters.
All three are candidates in the November general election, seeking a two-year House term, which would start in January.
The results came 15 days after the Aug. 16 election, in line with the deadline for state elections officials to receive absentee ballots mailed from outside the U.S. Ranked choice tabulations took place Wednesday after no candidate won more than 50% of the first choice votes. Peltola was in the lead heading into the tabulations.
Wednesday's results were a disappointment for Palin, who was looking to make a political comeback 14 years after she was vaulted onto the national stage when John McCain selected her to be his running mate in the 2008 presidential election. In her run for the House seat, she had widespread name recognition and won the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
After Peltola's victory was announced, Palin slammed the ranked voting process as "crazy, convoluted, confusing."
"Though we're disappointed in this outcome, Alaskans know I'm the last one who'll ever retreat," Palin said in a statement.
During the campaign, critics questioned Palin's commitment to Alaska, citing her decision to resign as governor in July 2009, partway through her term. Palin went on to become a conservative commentator on TV and appeared in reality television programs, among other pursuits.
Palin has insisted her commitment to Alaska never wavered and said ahead of the special election that she had "signed up for the long haul."
Peltola, a former state lawmaker who most recently worked for a commission whose goal is to rebuild salmon resources on the Kuskokwim River, cast herself as a "regular" Alaskan. "I'm not a millionaire. I'm not an international celebrity," she said.
Peltola has said she was hopeful that the new system would allow more moderate candidates to be elected.
During the campaign, she emphasized her support of abortion rights and said she wanted to elevate issues of ocean productivity and food security. Peltola said she got a boost after the June special primary when she won endorsements from Democrats and independents who had been in the race. She said she believed her positive messaging also resonated with voters.
"It's been very attractive to a lot of people to have a message of working together and positivity and holding each other up and unity and as Americans none of us are each other's enemy," she said. "That is just a message that people really need to hear right now."
Alaska voters in 2020 approved an elections process that replaced party primaries with open primaries. Under the new system, ranked voting is used in general elections.
Under ranked voting, ballots are counted in rounds. A candidate can win outright with more than 50% of the vote in the first round. If no one hits that threshold, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Voters who chose that candidate as their top pick have their votes count for their next choice. Rounds continue until two candidates remain, and whoever has the most votes wins.
In Alaska, voters last backed a Democrat for president in 1964. But the state also has a history of rewarding candidates with an independent streak. The state has more registered unaffiliated voters than registered Republicans or Democrats combined.

Viewers can look at shared inspiration and moments of fall in two new exhibitions in a South Taranaki gallery.
The Lysaght Watt Gallery in Hāwera has two new exhibitions on its walls.
Capturing the Fall, with work by Brad Mosen and Keeley Eastwood from Whanganui features printmaking and photography artworks, and A Shared Inspiration by South Taranaki artists Elizabeth Harrison and Rosanne Oakes.
Keeley says it's a pleasure to showcase her work in the gallery.

Advertise with NZME."This is the first time I'm showcasing in a stand-alone gallery so that is a milestone. I'm excited to be exhibiting at the same time as Elizabeth, as we've had a joint exhibition before. Elizabeth was the one who alerted me to the space in Lysaght Watt Gallery."
She says she and her partner Brad were inspired by their family trip to Gisborne's Eastwoodhill Arboretum last autumn.
"The core part of our exhibition is our new tree and leaf-focused work."
She says she, Brad and their son enjoyed walking through the woodland tree groves.
Keeley says while Brad used his photography skills to capture the woodlands by camera, Keeley and their son collected fallen leaves so Keeley could use them in her printmaking.
To give back to the arboretum, Keeley and Brad will donate 5 per cent of the sale price of their new works associated with the arboretum to the Eastwoodhill Arboretum.
"This work includes my original framed handmade leaf monoprints, which I started making while on site at the arboretum, and Brad's photography centred around the arboretum and its trees."
She says as well as showcasing new work, they will also display some old favourites, along with reproduction prints, canvasses and greeting cards.

Advertise with NZME."We are also releasing more new nature-themed work at the exhibition, including more of Brad's photography and my first-ever released cyanotype prints. There'll be a really good mix of framed and unframed originals, premium quality fine art prints, wall art and greeting cards."
Rosanne Oakes and Elizabeth Harrison will also be showcasing their work.
Printmaker Elizabeth Harrison from Hāwera says she has shown her work in the same space as Keeley and Brad previously.
"We both had exhibitions on display in the Fenton Street Arts Collective. They complemented each other well so I'm pleased to showcase our work alongside them again."
Elizabeth says she and Rosanne have created pieces focused on shared inspiration.
"We go a long way back, both being teachers and then principals and then retirement. We have exhibited in galleries before at the same time however, this is the first actual joint exhibition."

Advertise with NZME.She says Rosanne has a connection to the Pātea Gallery as a committee member and practising artist.
"She also has a commitment to pursuing the arts and enabling access by others to enjoy them. I have been a curator at the Lysaght Watt gallery for the last few years and have decided to pass on the position so that I can get back into the studio."
She says she and Rosanne are both print artists.
"Shared Inspiration captures our friendship long-standing, our shared development of print as a medium and the way we inspire each other as discussing what is happening in our growth as print artists."

Y Combinator-backed Kiwi Biosciences Launches Novel Portable Enzymes To Make Food Painless For 15% of the Planet
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.
Y Combinator-backed Kiwi Biosciences Launches Novel Portable Enzymes To Make Food Painless For 15% of the Planet
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.
About Kiwi Biosciences
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.

Prior to tonight’s game against the Dodgers, the Mets revealed that Bretty Baty has suffered a torn UCL in his right thumb. The Mets placed Baty on the 10-day IL, retroactive to August 29, and he will undergo surgery on Thursday. Given the typical five-week recovery timeline , he will likely miss the remainder of the regular season, though he could still be in play for October.
Baty suffered the injury making a play at third base against the Rockies. He missed last night’s game against Los Angeles but was available to run if needed. Baty, who was ranked as the Number 2 prospect in the Mets’ farm system by MLB Pipeline, made his big league debut earlier this month and has appeared in 11 games for New York. In 38 at-bats, he is slashing .184/.244/.342 with two home runs.
In the short term, the team is calling up outfielder Terrence Gore to take his place on the roster. In the long-term, Eduardo Escobar, who recently returned from his own IL stint, will once again man the hot corner full time. Luis Guillorme, who has not played since August 14 after sustaining a groin injury, will begin a rehab assignment this Sunday if he continues progressing.
The news comes soon after Francisco Álvarez, the top prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline, sustained a right ankle injury that puts the remainder of his 2022 season in jeopardy. | https://www.amazinavenue.com/2022/8/31/23331853/mets-news-bretty-baty-thumb-injury-third-base-injured-list-new-york-citi-field-escobar-guillorme | 2022-09-01T01:27:11Z | https://www.amazinavenue.com/2022/8/31/23331853/mets-news-bretty-baty-thumb-injury-third-base-injured-list-new-york-citi-field-escobar-guillorme | true | 1 |

As the airline industry continues to recover, Telluride’s winter air schedule includes both long sought-after additions and route hiatuses for the coming season, the Colorado Flights Alliance (CFA) recently announced.
Two long-term objectives will be realized at the Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) this winter, including the addition of nonstop service from Austin and the return of daily flights from Atlanta. Southwest will fly from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Saturdays from January through March, and Delta will return to daily flights from Atlanta-Hartsfield Jackson International Airport from December through early April.
“Austin has long been considered a sister city to Telluride, and locals and Austinites alike are excited about the nonstop service on Southwest this winter,” CFA CEO Matt Skinner said. “And in the southeast, Delta returns to daily flying from one of Telluride’s key markets and the largest airport in the country, upgrading their longstanding service from ATL to MTJ.”
Along with the welcome additions, MTJ will also see a stoppage of service on two of its winter routes with American Airlines, including daily Chicago and Saturday Los Angeles service. As the travel industry recovers, the intention is to re-establish these routes in the future, Skinner explained. United Airlines will be continuing service from both Telluride and Montrose airports this winter.
Telluride Regional Airport (TEX) is featuring daily jet service to two major hubs again this winter in offering Denver and Phoenix flights. Denver Air now has interline relationships with both United and American, allowing travelers to book connecting flights straight into TEX through both global airline networks.
Other carriers and routes will operate similarly to last year, CFA explained, with the Telluride destination offering 14 nonstop flights from 12 major U.S. hubs into the two airports this winter. Other flights include daily service to Denver, Chicago, Houston and New York/Newark, as well as multi-day service for San Francisco and Los Angeles via United. American is offering daily Dallas (DFW) and Phoenix service, as well as Saturday New York/La Guardia service. Other than the new Austin service, Southwest will also offer daily Denver routes and Saturday Dallas (DAL) service.
For full schedule information, visit the CFA website at coloradoflights.org/schedule. To book flights, visit the respective airline websites.
Skinner explained CFA monitors the winter routes and makes adjustments when necessary, per protocol, but as air travel continues to stabilize post-pandemic the idea is there will most likely be fewer schedule tweaks once the season starts.
“Over the last couple of winters, we have had monthly adjustments to the schedule. And I think one of the things that we're also seeing return a little bit to normal is more consistency once the schedules are set. So what we hope to see then is fewer changes in season, as we're coming into the winter,” he added.
While summer bookings fluctuated from month to month, early winter bookings are already looking steady, which is a positive trend, Skinner said.
“We're very early in winter bookings and they usually start to pick up right about this time. But having just looked at the trends, our early numbers are right on par with our historical averages. Like it's like to the line. And so there's a little bit of normalcy and looks like heading into the winter bookings, neither a big spike or a huge dip. So it's nice to see that return in customer behavior,” he added. “Generally, what we see from here is kind of a steady increase through September and October, even into November, when people begin to book their winter vacations, and hopefully for us, we just keep on that consistent historic average, which would be great.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California lawmakers on Wednesday voted to let government workers hide their home addresses from public records if they fear for their safety, a response to the country's continuously polarizing politics and pandemic policies that have fueled an increase in violent threats against some public employees.
California and 41 other states already have laws that shield the home addresses of victims of domestic violence and other crimes, according to the National Center for Victims of Crime, a nonprofit that advocates for victims' rights. California's program goes a bit further by also including abortion workers and public health employees.
Wednesday, the California Legislature voted to expand the state law even more to include all employees of a federal, state or local government agency — most notably election workers and code enforcement officers, who have both reported an increase in violent threats in recent years. The bill would let those workers use a substitute address on public records, including the voter registration file.
“It's probably another manifestation of polarization,” said state Sen. Josh Newman, a Democrat from Fullerton and the bill's author. “Nobody really envisioned a time where you would have to protect so many public workers.”
The bill now heads to Gov. Gavin Newsom, who must decide by the end of September whether to sign the bill into law. It would not apply to state lawmakers or other elected officials, according to Newman's office.
Government workers are often the first to bear the brunt of the public's frustration over unpopular public policies and laws. Code enforcement officers — unarmed workers who enforce local laws about property maintenance, health and safety ordinances and a number of other measures — are often confronted by angry business owners.
Jamie Zeller, a senior code enforcement officer for the city of Carlsbad, said a woman who had violated city policy by having too much junk on her property “posted on social media and told me to my face she was going to blow my effing head off,” she said. Zeller said she ended up getting a restraining order against the woman.
“Most of us who are in this profession have run into this numerous times, where people threaten to kill us or tried to come after you in a small area like a building or a room or apartment,” Zeller said.
Zeller, who is also president of the California Association of Code Enforcement Officers, said threats have increased since the pandemic began in 2020 and many code enforcement officers had to monitor businesses for complying with pandemic restrictions, like wearing masks. Santa Clara County Health Director Dr. Sara Cody had to have 24-hour security from the sheriff's department in 2020 after she was targeted for issuing strict pandemic restrictions.
Those types of threats have continued into 2022. Last week, during a public hearing on this bill, a man who identified himself only as “Mike” spoke to lawmakers by phone to tell them the proposed bill was “an outrage.” He said most government officials are now working from home, saying “the only place you can find them to redress the grievance with your government is at their residence.”
“You guys need to fear the people. And if you could hear the people we wouldn't need to come to your house,” he said. “But since you guys aren't there, we're coming to your house. And guess what? We've got some post office workers on our side, we'll figure out where you're at.”
State Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco who has had people threaten to bomb his home in the past, said the man's comments were “a criminal threat against members of the Legislature” and asked for an investigation. Capitol security officers are investigating. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/California-lawmakers-OK-bill-to-hide-public-17411411.php | 2022-09-01T01:48:49Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/California-lawmakers-OK-bill-to-hide-public-17411411.php | false | 12 |
The best sweatpants for women
Sweatpants are a must-have for any wardrobe. They are the go-to for traveling, long study sessions, romping around the house or simply a comfortable alternative to jeans or pants. If you’re looking for new sweatpants, you’ll need to consider a few things before choosing a pair, such as the activity you need them for and how you would like them to fit.
What to consider before buying a pair of sweatpants
Activity
Ask yourself what will you primarily use these sweatpants for. If you’re an athlete looking for a pair of sweatpants to use after or before games or during training, you may want pants that wick moisture or are jogger-style. If you’re looking for a pair to just throw on in a flash and wear for total comfort, a pair with soft lining and loose-fitting style may suit you more.
Style
Are you wearing your sweatpants to achieve a certain style or just for the sake of lounging? The athletic-leisure — or “athleisure” — look is popular, and you may want sweatpants that are tailored and could pass for traditional pants. Or a loose-fitting pair of sweatpants could give you a relaxed, casual streetwear look.
Maintenance
The care your sweatpants need to prolong their life depends on their material. Basic cotton-blend sweatpants are low-maintenance and probably only have to be washed with like colors in cold water, but sweatpants with special technology for moisture control may need to be hand-washed or line dried. Consider this when shopping and determine the time and resources you have to care for them properly.
Sweatpants FAQ
Should I size up for sweatpants?
A. This is up to you. If you prefer your sweatpants to hug certain features, keep the size you normally would wear. To have extreme comfort and range of motion, you can size up. Ultimately, brands’ size charts vary and you’ll have to assess your numerical measurements to make the decision.
How should sweatpants normally fit?
A. The traditional pair of sweatpants should fit based on the way the pockets lay. They should be relaxed and drape against your leg, not poking out and laying high on your hip.

Peltola beats Palin, wins Alaska House special election
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Democrat Mary Peltola won the special election for Alaska’s only U.S. House seat on Wednesday, besting a field that included Republican Sarah Palin, who was seeking a political comeback in the state where she was once governor.
Peltola, who is Yup’ik and turned 49 on Wednesday, will become the first Alaska Native to serve in the House and the first woman to hold the seat. She will serve the remaining months of the late Republican U.S. Rep. Don Young’s term. Young held the seat for 49 years before his death in March.
“I’m honored and humbled by the support I have received from across Alaska,” Peltola said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing Don Young’s legacy of bipartisanship, serving all Alaskans and building support for Alaska’s interests in DC.”
Peltola’s victory, coming in Alaska’s first statewide ranked choice voting election, is a boon for Democrats, particularly coming off better-than-expected performances in special elections around the country this year following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. She will be the first Democrat to hold the seat since the late U.S. Rep. Nick Begich, who was seeking reelection in 1972 when his plane disappeared. Begich was later declared dead and Young in 1973 was elected to the seat.
Peltola ran as a coalition builder while her two Republican opponents — Palin and Begich’s grandson, also named Nick Begich — at times went after each other. Palin also railed against the ranked voting system, which was instituted by Alaska voters.
All three - Peltola, Palin and Begich - are candidates in the November general election, seeking a two-year House term that would start in January.
The results came 15 days after the Aug. 16 election, in line with the deadline for state elections officials to receive absentee ballots mailed from outside the U.S. Ranked choice tabulations took place Wednesday after no candidate won more than 50% of the first choice votes, with state elections officials livestreaming the event. Peltola was in the lead heading into the tabulations.
State elections officials plan to certify the election by Friday.
Alaska Democratic Party leaders cheered Peltola’s win.
“Alaskans have made clear they want a rational, steadfast, honest and caring voice speaking for them in Washington D.C., not opportunists and extremists associated with the Alaska Republican Party,” state Democratic party chair Michael Wenstrup said in a statement.
Wednesday’s results were a disappointment for Palin, who was looking to make a political comeback 14 years after she was vaulted onto the national stage when John McCain selected her to be his running mate in the 2008 presidential election. In her run for the House seat, she had widespread name recognition and won the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
After Peltola’s victory was announced, Palin called the ranked voting system “crazy, convoluted, confusing.”
“Though we’re disappointed in this outcome, Alaskans know I’m the last one who’ll ever retreat,” Palin said in a statement.
Begich in a statement congratulated Peltola while looking forward to the November election.
During the campaign, critics questioned Palin’s commitment to Alaska, citing her decision to resign as governor in July 2009, partway through her term. Palin went on to become a conservative commentator on TV and appeared in reality television programs, among other pursuits.
Palin has insisted her commitment to Alaska never wavered and said ahead of the special election that she had “signed up for the long haul.”
Peltola, a former state lawmaker who most recently worked for a commission whose goal is to rebuild salmon resources on the Kuskokwim River, cast herself as a “regular” Alaskan. “I’m not a millionaire. I’m not an international celebrity,” she said.
Peltola has said she was hopeful that the new system would allow more moderate candidates to be elected.
During the campaign, she emphasized her support of abortion rights and said she wanted to elevate issues of ocean productivity and food security. Peltola said she got a boost after the June special primary when she won endorsements from Democrats and independents who had been in the race. She said she believed her positive messaging also resonated with voters.
“It’s been very attractive to a lot of people to have a message of working together and positivity and holding each other up and unity and as Americans none of us are each other’s enemy,” she said. “That is just a message that people really need to hear right now.”
Alaska voters in 2020 approved an elections process that replaced party primaries with open primaries. Under the new system, ranked voting is used in general elections.
Under ranked voting, ballots are counted in rounds. A candidate can win outright with more than 50% of the vote in the first round. If no one hits that threshold, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Voters who chose that candidate as their top pick have their votes count for their next choice. Rounds continue until two candidates remain, and whoever has the most votes wins.
In Alaska, voters last backed a Democrat for president in 1964. But the state also has a history of rewarding candidates with an independent streak. The number of registered voters not affiliated with a party is greater than the number of registered Republicans or Democrats combined, according to statistics from the Division of Elections.
The last Democratic member of Alaska’s congressional delegation was Mark Begich, Nick Begich’s uncle, who served one term and lost his 2014 reelection bid.
U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican, said Peltola “has a long track record of public service to our great state” and said she looks forward to Peltola joining the congressional delegation, which also includes Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan. Murkowski and Peltola were in the state Legislature together.

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - It's time to plant the seeds of another You Ask, We Answer. Rhonda is wondering, 'Can a homeowner in Eau Claire grow a vegetable garden in their front yard?'
The answer is yes, within reason.
Eau Claire Deputy City Attorney Douglas Hoffer said homeowners can plant small vegetable gardens in their front yard so long as they still are consistent within a residential use and are not causing a public nuisance.
Once you start growing produce too large like tall corn stalks in the front yard, your home may have to be assessed for agricultural use rather than residential and you'll also be taxed differently.
"If you're using so much of your parcel for agricultural use that it no longer constitutes a residential use, and your taxed for agricultural purposes instead, that would be too much," Hoffer said. "Now that would have to be a very intense, agricultural use, and I'd like to think most people would know better than to take it that far."

Nicole Brown Simpson's sister is speaking out against Chris Rock's latest joke. On Tuesday, Tanya Brown took to Instagram to slam Rock for mentioning her sister's murder during a recent comedy set.
As ET previously reported, Rock made the joke in question during a recent show in Phoenix, Arizona. According to an eyewitness, the topic came up when Rock said that he was asked to host next year's Oscars after Will Smith slapped him at the January ceremony following a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
"Chris joked that returning to the Oscars would be like returning to the scene of the crime," the eyewitness said, "and said that it would be similar to asking Nicole Brown Simpson to go back to the Italian restaurant where she left her glasses" before she was killed. O.J. Simpson stood trial for the murders of his ex-wife and Ron Goldman. He was acquitted.
Brown called the joke about her sister "BEYOND distasteful" in an Instagram post, before bashing Rock for joking about Pinkett Smith's alopecia at the Oscars.
"Nothing funny about his joke towards Jada as she suffers from a physical condition and nothing funny about equating an Oscar host invitation to a double homicide," Brown wrote. "I always thought he was funny, but he crossed the line with this one."
Brown concluded her post by telling Rock and other comedians to "stop using my sister, OJ and Ron part of your cricking comedy act," adding, "There are families behind this tragedy!"
Christopher Darden, the prosecutor in Simpson's trial, echoed Brown's comments in a post to his private Instagram account, which ET obtained.
"I don't advocate violence but I guess this guy hasn't learned his lesson. I guess Will failed to slap any sense into him," Darden wrote. "I know some people who are deeply hurt and offended by this joke. Lame as it is. I mean he has every right to say what he said but maybe if some of his jokes were more general in nature and not so specific as to mock specific people."
"Nicole was somebody's mother bruh and Ron was a son and a brother, you know? Do you always have to make a joke at somebody else's expense?" he continued. "Ain't you learned nothing from the slap that was heard around the world?"
Brown commented on Darden's post, writing, "Thank you, Chris."

Erling Haaland is taking English soccer by storm.
Back-to-back hat tricks. Nine goals in five games. No player has ever made as good a start to the Premier League as the towering Norway striker.
Haaland’s latest three-goal haul came in the first half of City’s 6-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, three days after achieving the same feat in the second half against Crystal Palace.
City was banking on Haaland being the heir to long-time striker Sergio Aguero and it’s already looking as if that is the case.
Aguero previously held the record for most goals in a player’s first five Premier League appearances, with eight along with former Coventry striker Mick Quinn (from the early 1990s). Haaland has bettered that, and surely more scoring records will fall if he continues like this.
For example, can he become the first player to score 40 goals in a single top-flight campaign in England since Tottenham’s Jimmy Greaves in 1960-61?
“What Haaland wants is to win titles,” Guardiola said of the striker who scored with his left foot, right foot and head against Forest. “Knowing him, he would not be happy to break records if we don’t win titles.
“Sergio is a legend — no one can break his position in the hearts of Man City fans. But Erling has the quality to be there.”
City is the red-hot favorite to win the Premier League again with Haaland leading the line and is unbeaten with four wins from five games.
Even its back-up striker is scoring, with Julian Alvarez — an offseason arrival from Rover Plate — marking his first start with two goals in the second half. Joao Cancelo also scored with a blast from outside the box.
Still, the champions aren’t top. That honor remains with Arsenal.
PERFECT START
Arsenal has matched its best ever start to a Premier League season after securing a fifth straight win to open the season by beating Aston Villa 2-1.
Gabriel Martinelli’s 77th-minute goal clinched victory at Emirates Stadium after Arsenal was pegged back by conceding a goal straight from a corner by Douglas Luiz, who did the same in an English League Cup match last week, too.
That came against the run of play, with Arsenal dominating the game but only having Gabriel Jesus’ 30th-minute goal — his third of the season — to show for it.
“That is the spirit we need to keep for the whole season,” Martinelli said.
Villa has lost four of its five games, leaving manager Steven Gerrard under pressure.
LATE, LATE GOAL
Liverpool is battling hard to keep up with the fierce pace set by Arsenal and City, needing a goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time by Fábio Carvalho to claim a dramatic 2-1 win over Newcastle.
Alexander Isak gave Newcastle the lead in the 38th on his debut following a move from Real Sociedad on Friday for a club-record fee and was denied a second goal by narrow offside call.
Roberto Firmino swept in a finish from Mohamed Salah’s cross to equalize before a penalty-box melee following a corner saw the ball pop up off the shoulder of Salah, and Carvalho — a summer signing from Fulham — reacted quickest to smash into the roof of the net.
“I am not sure everyone in the stadium kept believing but from now on we have to,” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said. “What a wonderful goal from the little one.”
It was a second straight victory for Liverpool, which opened the season without winning any of its first three games.
SPURS UNBEATEN
Tottenham remained unbeaten after a 1-1 draw at West Ham, for whom club-record signing Lucas Paqueta missed a chance to score a late winner on his debut.
West Ham manager David Moyes said before kickoff that Paqueta had not so much as passed a ball to his new teammates after only completing his 52 million pound ($61.6 million) switch from Lyon on Monday.
With four minutes remaining, Vladimir Coufal pulled the ball back and Paqueta — on as a 67th-minute substitute — got in a mix-up with fellow new signing Emerson Palmieri as they left the ball to each other, 10 meters from goal, instead of taking a shot. Moyes fell to his knees on the touchline.
An own-goal from Thilo Kehrer gave Tottenham the lead before Tomas Soucek equalized.
In the other game, Bournemouth drew 0-0 at home to Wolverhampton, two days after firing manager Scott Parker.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – New protection against the latest COVID variants should be available soon. The Food and Drug Administration approved variant-specific booster shots on Wednesday, but there are some concerns about the rollout.
The shots are specifically built to protect people from the dominant Omicron strains.
“These updated boosters present us with an opportunity to get ahead of the next predicated wave of covid-19,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said.
Once the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gives its approval, the shots could start going out as soon as next week.
It isn’t clear how effective they’ll be, because they haven’t been through human trials. However, that’s the same process used to update yearly flu shots.
“We’re very confident in the data used to support today’s actions,” FDA official Dr. Peter Marks said.
While many health officials are hailing this as an important step forward, there are concerns about the rollout.
The Biden administration says it’s running out of money for masks, tests and vaccines. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says that’s because Congress didn’t pass more COVID funding.
“We’ve warned that the congressional inaction would force unacceptable trade-offs and harm our preparedness and response,” Jean-Pierre said.
Dr. Greg Poland with Mayo Clinic says that could have consequences for availability of the vaccine.
“If it moves to private pay or private insurance, that likely will decrease accessibility,” Poland said.
He also says one of his biggest concerns is that people aren’t using precautions anymore. He points to how many people rarely mask anymore and have continued to gather in crowds.
There’s also uncertainty about who will get the latest booster shots. Only about half of vaccinated Americans got the first booster shot.
Dr. Poland predicts coronavirus is here to stay.
“We will continue to have surges with yet newer variants,” Poland said.
Even now, hundreds of Americans are dying from COVID each day.
“With a highly contagious disease like this, none of us is safe until everyone is safe,” Poland said. | https://fox2now.com/news/politics/concerns-raised-about-rollout-of-new-variant-specific-covid-vaccine/ | 2022-09-01T02:06:25Z | https://fox2now.com/news/politics/concerns-raised-about-rollout-of-new-variant-specific-covid-vaccine/ | false | 14 |

Windsor, Ont. expected to benefit from a trade mission to Asia
With many pandemic restrictions lifted, the province’s minister of economic development and trade is ready for more travel.
“It’s all about reengaging,” says Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade of Ontario, Vic Fedeli.
Fedeli is leaving on Friday to fly to Korea and make a stop in Japan before returning home. A top priority will be to visit top executives at a company which announced a major investment in the Windsor region.
“We will visit LGES, the company which is building a $5.5-billion battery facility in Windsor, we will visit them to say thank you,” he says.
As well, Fedeli wants to speak to the business leaders at LG Energy Solution (LGES) about the companies which are needed to keep the factory operating.
“This plant in Windsor is just the beginning,” he says. “All of the ancillary companies are needed to feed that beast. This is big. Really serious business for Windsor.”
Aside from LGES, Fedeli wants to travel to Japan to meet representatives from Honda, Toyota and Panasonic, before making the return trip on Sept 9.
He says it is unlikely he will have an immediate announcement upon his arrival home, but hopes there will be announcement before the end of the fall.
“I would like to in some months from now to back with something new for Ontario,” he says.

Tania Bruguera is standing on the plaza in the Documenta hall in a flowing blue dress. She has just opened a new exhibition with her Instar collective. Bruguera is the best-known contemporary artist in Cuba, has had solo exhibitions and performances at MoMa, Tate Modern, Documenta XI, and the Venice, Sao Paulo and Shanghai Biennials. But this time she only acts in the background. She wants to use the 100 days in Kassel to bring as many Cuban colleagues as possible to Germany. She wants to be heard, to be seen. Before the world forgets Cuba again.
Instar uses four rooms in the hall. Instar stands for Instituto de Artivismo Hannah Arendt. Bruguera founded it in Havana in 2015, when she was once again under house arrest. Artivismo is a neologism of art and activism. “There can be no non-political art in a dictatorship,” says Bruguera. At the time, she used the isolation under house arrest to read Hannah Arendt’s book “Elements and Origins of Totalitarian Rule” from her living room in Havana for 100 hours. Broadcast outside with loudspeaker. Authorities responded with a construction brigade and jackhammers in front of her home.
Hannah Arendt’s text is an analysis of what Cubans experience on a daily basis: the mechanisms of power, sometimes subtle, sometimes brutal; the attempt by the state apparatus to gain control of people’s bodies and minds; the creeping distrust that eats into the soul. That’s why the activists in Kassel wear T-shirts with the inscription “Podemos confiar los unos en los otros” – “We can trust each other”. The power of the collective protects to a certain extent, if only that no one disappears into prison without the others knowing. It enables a discourse on aesthetic, social and political issues that is hardly possible outside of the collective because there is no critical civil society and no infrastructure for an independent scene.
Tania Bruguera’s notoriety may also help Instar members. Nevertheless, it is a risk for everyone to show their name and face in Kassel. Bruguera doesn’t like interviews, every word can lead to a chain of problems. Actor Daniel Triana and writer Amaury Pacheco have just canceled their trip to Kassel for fear of not being able to return to Cuba. Nobody knows which word could be too much for someone to be expatriated. Like Hamlet Lavastida.
His name is on the list of those who have been censored, which is emblazoned on the wall in one of the rooms. Below you see the faces of victims of censorship. Drawn on foil, hung over poles like scalps. Lavastida was a guest at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin last year. In his prints and collages, he reinterprets historical symbols and translates them into modern imagery. When he returns to Havana, he is arrested. After three months, he was released under international pressure, but was immediately expelled from the country. He now lives in Berlin again. His mural shows the abstract floor plan of the prison in Villa Marista, where he was imprisoned (“Republica Penitenciaria”, 2022).
Or Maykel Castillo (stage name Osorbo), one of the musicians in the rap video “Patria y Vida” (“Home and Life”). The song went viral and won two Latin Grammys, but singing it on the streets of Cuba can land you behind bars. Even the title is sacrilegious, as it alludes to the slogan “Patria o Muerte” (“Fatherland or Death”), which the government still has painted on the walls of houses to this day. Osorbo was arrested several times, sat in solitary confinement for months, had his mouth sewn shut, went on hunger strike, was released and arrested again. In June 2022, he was sentenced to nine years in prison. Together with Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, co-founder of the San Isidro artists’ movement, who received five years. Her offense: “insulting symbols of the fatherland, contempt of court and disturbance of public order”.
“Now people get in touch with me and say: We are also victims, we also belong in this exhibition,” says Bruguera. That is entirely in their interest. What Instar presents here is not for the market, not an ego show. Rather, it is about art as an emancipatory force, as a means of strengthening civil society. Instar shows ten exhibitions in 100 days, a marathon for the curators. “You can definitely understand that as a metaphor for the instability with which we live in Cuba. You visit a vernissage, you want to talk about it with friends, and – hey presto – the show is censored and closed after a week.”
Instar establishes an archive of the excluded and ostracized
It’s also about not giving government power over collective memory. Instar establishes an archive of the excluded and ostracized, because if there is no publicity, says Bruguera, “they don’t even know that they are part of a tradition”. It goes back to the beginning of the revolution. Names like Reinaldo Arenas, the homosexual writer whose autobiographical novel “Before Night Comes” (1992) posthumously achieved world fame, are still taboo in Cuba today.
And that’s why you see a lot of names, ciphers, design and communication here. But not only. Raychel Carrion is represented with several large murals. He draws scenes from everyday Cuban life with subtle strokes – and it’s only at second glance that you realize what’s so disturbing about it. School children with distorted mouths. Grimaces emerging from the blue light bar of a police car.
The rebellious art scene in Cuba makes the government nervous. More and more decrees are being issued. “The police can now break into your house at any time and take your property,” says Bruguera. Artists are blamed for the nationwide protests in the summer of 2021, which were brutally put down. The demand for freedom of expression mixed with hunger. Because the supply situation, which has always been bad due to the US embargo, has gotten worse due to the pandemic and mismanagement. “July 11, 2021 was a turning point for the country,” says Bruguera. A wave of arrests followed. She herself had been under house arrest for more than half a year. She agreed to leave the country on condition that others be released. She already had a teaching position at Harvard University under her belt.
Born in 1968 as the daughter of a staunch communist and diplomat, Bruguera grew up in Paris, Lebanon and Panama before her mother returned to Cuba with her daughters. She studies art and starts with the first performances. Hangs a slaughtered lamb around his neck and eats dirt to commemorate the murder of the indigenous people by the conquistadors. Your underground magazine Memory of the Postwar is banned in 1994. Bullied at home, it is gaining more and more attention abroad. In 2002, at the Documenta XI, she made visitors feel the threat emanating from a police state. In a pitch-dark room, a gun can be heard loading and boots clicking on metal grilles. In 2009 she finally fell out of favor with the Cuban government with her performance “Tatlins Whisper”. During the Havana Biennale, she asks visitors to voice their wishes and concerns into a microphone. When she wants to repeat the action on December 30, 2014, she is arrested. She wanted to place her microphone on Revolution Square, the site of the military rallies where Fidel Castro held his state-supporting speeches.
“Art has to make the pain visible,” says Bruguera. “Then she has the power to transform.” She has the address of her home in Havana tattooed on the inside of her right wrist. She doesn’t know when she can return. | https://shepherdgazette.com/tania-bruguera-shows-art-from-cuba-that-is-banned-there/ | 2022-09-01T02:33:20Z | https://shepherdgazette.com/tania-bruguera-shows-art-from-cuba-that-is-banned-there/ | true | 1 |
Israel launched a missile attack on Wednesday targeting the airport in the Syrian city of Aleppo, Syrian state media said, citing a military source.
The Syrian government did not report any casualties.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a U.K.-based opposition war monitor, said in a statement that Israel fired four missiles targeting a runway at the Aleppo International Airport and warehouses surrounding it. The group claimed that the warehouses likely contained a shipment of Iranian rockets.
Meanwhile, Syrian state media reported air defense systems in Damascus firing at what it said were Israeli missiles targeting positions south of the Syrian capital. The opposition war monitor says the Israeli airstrikes targeted military positions. No casualties were reported.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets inside government-controlled parts of Syria over recent past years, but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations. The Israeli military declined to comment on the airstrike targeting Aleppo’s airport.
Israel has acknowledged, however, that it targets bases of Iran-allied militant groups, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which has sent thousands of fighters to support Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces.
On Sunday, Israel launched an airstrike targeting a military facility in western Syrian. Satellite imagery showed widespread destruction in the depot which the opposition war-monitor said stored hundreds of middle-range missiles for Iran-backed fighters.
In June, Israeli airstrikes temporarily put Damascus International Airport out of commission. | https://www.yourerie.com/news/international/ap-syria-israel-strikes-aleppo-airport/ | 2022-09-01T02:36:47Z | https://www.yourerie.com/news/international/ap-syria-israel-strikes-aleppo-airport/ | false | 31 |
(The Hill) – Former Alaska state Rep. Mary Peltola (D) was projected to defeat former Gov. Sarah Palin (R) to win the special election to fill the remainder of the late Rep. Don Young’s (R-Alaska) term in the House, a stunning upset that makes her the first Alaska Native in Congress.
Peltola, a Yup’ik Eskimo, will also be the first Democrat to hold the seat in decades. The last time a member of her party was elected to represent the state’s at-large congressional district was in 1971.
Her apparent victory came after votes were tabulated late Wednesday as part of the state’s new ranked-choice voting system.
Prior to her congressional run to fill Young’s seat, Peltola represented the southwestern Bethel region as a state lawmaker for a decade and has also served on the Bethel City Council and Orutsararmiut Native Council Tribal Court.
Peltola also ran in the primary for the same seat but whose term would begin in 2023. She advanced in the primary as she was one of the top four vote-getters in Alaska’s open primary system.
Other candidates who also advanced in that primary included not just Palin but also Nick Begich (R), the former co–chair for Young’s 2020 reelection campaign.
In the general election, which is slated for November, the state will also use ranked choice voting, where the candidate to receive more than 50 percent of the vote prevails in the election.
But if no one gets more than half of the votes, the candidate with the fewest votes gets knocked out and any voters who chose that eliminated candidate as their first pick has their second choice votes applied to the applicable candidates. The process continues until one candidate receives more than half of the votes. | https://www.kxan.com/hill-politics/democrat-mary-peltola-defeats-sarah-palin-in-alaska-special-election/ | 2022-09-01T02:37:06Z | https://www.kxan.com/hill-politics/democrat-mary-peltola-defeats-sarah-palin-in-alaska-special-election/ | true | 18 |

Richardson outran Thompson by less than a second, claiming the number one spot for the 100-meter race. She clocked in at 11.29 seconds while Thompson clocked in at 11.30 seconds. Of course, fans welcomed Richardson back with open arms by sending her congratulatory wishes via social media and saying they were happy she was back.
Just two months before this win, Richardson did not qualify for the 200-meter final, which caused her not to be able to participate in the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships. Shortly after this defeat, Richardson shared a video on her Instagram where she boldly stated that the media should be “more respectful to athletes.”
“Y’all should understand whether they’re coming from winning, whether they’re losing, whatever the case may be. Athletes deserve way more respect than when y’all just come and throw cameras into their faces,” remarked Richardson.
We are elated that Richardson is back doing what she loves. We can’t wait to see her continue on this triumphant journey!

SINGAPORE - The new digital bank by Standard Chartered Bank and the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) opened its doors on Thursday to customers, offering a savings account, credit card and family personal accident insurance.
Trust Bank, 60 per cent owned by StanChart and 40 per cent by NTUC, is offering an interest of 1.4 per cent per annum for the first $50,000 deposit.
Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, speaking at its launch, said Trust Bank plans to cater to older Singaporeans and the less tech savvy by simplifying banking and being transparent about services and products.
Noting that the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the embrace of digital services, Mr Wong said seniors in Singapore, traditionally seen as less tech savvy, have started using digital banking. He cited a study by Singapore Management University that found 80 per cent of bank customers aged 60 and above used digital banking in 2021, up from just 20 per cent in 2019.
Mr Wong said that Trust Bank also intends to launch innovative products to better meet the needs of customers. For example, the bank is offering Singapore's first credit card that lets customers choose their repayment date.
He also urged the digital bank to protect consumers from bank scams and maintain a high level of data security.
“I understand that you have designed your tech infrastructure with this in mind. But beyond digital infrastructure, consumer education will be very important,” he noted.
To this end, Mr Wong said there must collective efforts from the government, banks and the Monetary Authority of Singapore, as well as every individual to ensure everyone adopts good online banking hygiene practices.
Based on the Trust Bank app seen by The Straits Times on Wednesday night, its savings account comes with a debit card that offers up to 11 per cent savings for NTUC members and a maximum of five per cent savings for the others.
The account has no minimum balance, lock-in period or fees.
For its credit card, the digital bank is giving up to 21 per cent rebates on its credit card for NTUC members and 15 per cent savings for other people.
Its app stated that the credit card will not have an annual fee, foreign transaction fee and cash advance fee, among others.
The digital bank is also offering a family personal accident insurance developed by Income, at a premium of 50 cents per month. This will be available at no premium for the first two months, upon signing up for the Trust credit card.
The official launch to the public on Thursday comes hot on the heels of GXS Bank's announcement on Wednesday that its savings account app will be available for download from Sept 5.
GXS Bank is the digital bank backed by Grab and Singtel that was granted a digital full bank licence in Dec 2020, along with tech giant Sea, which has Maribank. | https://www.straitstimes.com/business/banking/stanchart-and-ntucs-digital-bank-launches-savings-account-credit-card | 2022-09-01T02:46:10Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/business/banking/stanchart-and-ntucs-digital-bank-launches-savings-account-credit-card | true | 1 |
ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has exceeded the August 2022 revenue collection target by fetching Rs489 billion against the fixed target of Rs483 billion, it said on Wednesday.
The FBR has collected Rs948 billion against the envisaged target of Rs926 billion in the first two months of the current fiscal year 2022-23 and the board had surpassed the assigned target by Rs22 billion.
The FBR will have to collect Rs661 billion during the ongoing month (September 2022) for materializing Rs1,609 billion collections for the first quarter (July-September) period of the current fiscal year in order to comply with the IMF conditions .
The FBR has envisaged an annual revenue collection target of Rs7,470 billion for the current fiscal year. Without achieving the desired target, the government will not be able to stick to the budget deficit target of 4.9 percent of GDP and get a primary surplus of Rs153 billion or 0.2 percent of the GDP in the current fiscal year.
“FBR has collected net revenue of Rs489 billion during August 2022, which has exceeded the target of Rs483 billion against Rs448 billion collected during the same period, last year,” the board said in a statement. “These figures would further improve after the book adjustments have been taken into account.”
The statement said collection figures are the highest ever in the month of August. “This outstanding revenue performance is a reflection of FBR’s resolve to build on its growth trajectory despite floods, zero rating on POL products, and import compression.”
On the other hand, the gross collection increased from Rs462 billion during August last year to Rs526 billion, showing an increase of 14 percent. Likewise, the amount of refunds disbursed during August was Rs37 billion compared to Rs14.3 billion paid last year, showing an increase of 161 percent.
The revenue increase in August is largely the outcome of various policy and revenue measures introduced by the government in Finance Act 2022. Unlike in the past, there is a visible focus on taxing the rich and affluent.
Owing to this paradigm shift, the growth in domestic income tax is almost 38 percent which is a remarkable shift towards direct taxation. Likewise, there is a significant upsurge in advance tax collected during August, which is 72 percent increase from the corresponding period of the previous year.
Provisional collection of Income Tax, Sales Tax, Federal Excise and Customs Duty were respectively Rs165 billion, Rs218 billion, Rs24 billion and Rs82 billion as against Rs124 billion, Rs223 billion, Rs23 billion and Rs77 billion during the corresponding period of the previous year. Total taxes collected during July and August stands at Rs948 billion against the target of Rs.926 billion.

SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
More than a foot of snow has already fallen in parts of New Jersey as the fourth major storm of this month hits the eastern seaboard. More than 2 feet is expected to fall in New England. Also, high winds and coastal flooding are expected. More than 5,000 flights have been canceled, train service disrupted. States of emergency have been declared by the governors of five states. And the - New York's governor, Kathy Hochul, also suggested people just, quote, "sit home with a six-pack of beer and wait it out." Cocoa is warmer. Meteorologist Dave Epstein's covering it all from member station WBUR in Boston. David, thanks so much for being with us.
DAVE EPSTEIN, BYLINE: Thank you for having me, Scott.
SIMON: What are you seeing there so far? Snow, I know. But in what amount?
EPSTEIN: Yeah, absolutely. And I like the idea of the cocoa. I've got mine ready to go this afternoon. We're looking at snow where I am just west of Boston. And we're continuing to see visibility is down under half a mile - some cases a quarter mile. We've seen locally 11 inches in Taunton, just south of the city. And Boston's getting up towards the six-inch amount - and as you mentioned, a foot of snow around places like Forked River in New Jersey. I do think that the eastern side of Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire will see the heaviest snowfall.
SIMON: Is the storm shaping up pretty much as had been projected?
EPSTEIN: I think it is pretty much shaping up as projected. I'd say that the Western extent of the snowfall across southern New England probably will be a little further east. So places like the Berkshires and the Pioneer Valley out towards Springfield, Northampton - probably not seeing as much snow as may have been earlier thought a couple of days ago. And we may not see any amounts over 30 inches. There were some early indications with the models a few days ago that we could see, you know, some 3-foot amounts. I think that would be highly exceptional, not impossible. But I think generally, most places in the northeast, east of Route 495, will be in the 1- to 2-foot range - still a formidable storm and a lot of wind and a lot of cold.
SIMON: And what are the complications of the bitter cold that's expected to follow?
EPSTEIN: Well, one of the things about the bitter cold, of course, is just cleaning up from it. You know, you've got to get outside. You've really got to bundle up. Wind chill values will be below zero. So if you're outside for more than 45 minutes to an hour, and you've got a larger area to clean up, you've really got to take some breaks and go inside and actually have that cocoa. And the cold weather also - kind of tough on pets, as well. You know, I've got two dogs. And, you know...
SIMON: Yeah.
EPSTEIN: ...They're outside as little as possible, and then you get them back in as quickly as you can.
SIMON: Is this a bombogenesis? I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. Well, you're the one who taught me the word at any rate.
EPSTEIN: Yeah, that's perfect. I love it. And absolutely. We have seen the pressure just really fall rapidly, well over the 24 millibars in 24 hours - so absolutely undergone bombogenesis. It's a big storm. It will head up towards Nova Scotia. It will pound eastern sections of Maine later today and overnight tonight. And yeah, this is a very strong storm. Some of the pressures of this - almost akin to a Category 1 hurricane.
SIMON: Of course, you're there in Boston. City knows how to handle snow, doesn't it?
EPSTEIN: Absolutely. And the governor's been great telling folks to just stay off the road. And the wonderful thing about today is that it's a Saturday. People knew this was coming. We can clean up tomorrow. And hopefully, everybody's back to normal on Monday, including into schools.
SIMON: Dave Epstein - he covers weather from member station WBUR and blogs at The Boston Globe. Dave, good luck. Take care.
EPSTEIN: Thank you. You, too.

After major summer releases, local movie theater operators are optimistic about the future of the industry ahead of Saturday’s National Cinema Day.
Adam Parker, general manager of Star Cinema Grill in College Station, said the local theater saw a record summer with June and July ranking among the top two months the theater has seen since opening in 2018 in Century Square. He attributed the strong summer to the theater-only opening of “Top Gun: Maverick.”
Andrea Fletcher, general manager of Premiere Cinemas in Bryan, said, “As long as Hollywood can keep supplying us with movies, we're actually doing pretty good. We’ve got our dry spells, of course, but that's just the time of year that we're coming into. Football usually kind of takes everybody's attention away from movies during this time.”
As some people go to Texas A&M’s opening football game Saturday, local movie theaters are participating in National Cinema Day to encourage people to return to the movie theater.

Established by The Cinema Foundation, National Cinema Day is a promotion theaters throughout the country are taking part in that features $3-plus-tax tickets for every movie, regardless of the show time or format.
This means tickets to 3D, IMAX and standard-screen movies will all be $3 throughout Saturday.
Fletcher said the day allows movie theater operators to thank those who have supported the theaters and kept the industry going throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and amid the rise in streaming platforms. It also invites those who have not been back to the theaters to return.
Parker said they are excited to participate in the nationwide promotion going into a typically slower time of the year.
“It’s a way to drive revenue and remind people that we're still here and that we're welcoming them in,” he said.
Fletcher said attendance at Premiere has not quite returned to pre-pandemic levels, but she feels it is getting there. A lot of it depends on the movies being released to theaters and how they are being released, she said, saying streaming is the big competition now.
“With some film studios still choosing to release simultaneous, it makes it tough,” she said.
Parker said it has been frustrating to see the rise of streaming, but said he believes the “tide is turning” and studios are starting to see movie theaters as a viable option again.
“I don't think we're going anywhere,” he said. “I think that ‘Top Gun’ was kind of a wake-up call to a lot of studios that these movies can still do really well.”
Fletcher said Tom Cruise fought for the “Top Gun” sequel to release in theaters only at first. It now is available on streaming services.
Parker said Star Cinema has had the blockbuster in the theater for 15 or 16 weeks now.
“It has been a long time since I've seen a movie like that,” he said about the Tom Cruise film. “I've been in the industry for 20 years, and occasionally movies come like this come along. I would say that as far as just the legs that this movie has, it's comparable to like ‘Avatar’ or ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ and that kind of stuff. And it’s got the numbers to back that up, too.”
Both Star Cinema Grill and Premiere credited “Top Gun: Maverick” with a good summer and said it, along with an extended re-release of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” will be among the top titles for the Labor Day weekend.
Fletcher said “Top Gun” will be sharing the IMAX theaters with “Jaws.” Premiere also will have two new movies: “Gigi & Nate” and “Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.”
Looking ahead to what appears to be a “strong” holiday season with the “Avatar” sequel, Parker said, he is optimistic about the future of movies.
Fletcher said more studios are starting to follow the same model as “Top Gun” and release to movie theaters exclusively before putting the movie on streaming services.
“Really, I think, where they make their money is actually in the movie theater,” she said. “… When a family comes to the movies, they're having to buy a ticket for each member; whereas when you're streaming, you're just doing it for one household.”
Parker said he expects the bulk of the business this weekend to come from “Top Gun” and “Spider-Man,” but the theater also will be showing the Texas-produced film “Corsicana.” Star Cinema Grill also will show every Aggie football game on one of its screens and in the bar.
Fletcher said this weekend Premiere also has concession promotions of a $5 discount on adult combos and a buy one, get one 50% off offer on kid combos. Parker said Star Cinema does not have any additional promotions planned for this weekend.
Cinemark in College Station is also participating in National Cinema Day on Saturday; however, requests for interviews to the local theater were directed to the national representatives who did not return those requests by press time. | https://theeagle.com/news/local/local-theaters-optimistic-about-industry-ahead-of-national-cinema-day/article_97eb62be-2993-11ed-98ea-7f2661d032d8.html | 2022-09-01T03:06:15Z | https://theeagle.com/news/local/local-theaters-optimistic-about-industry-ahead-of-national-cinema-day/article_97eb62be-2993-11ed-98ea-7f2661d032d8.html | true | 1 |
Tanya Brown isn’t pleased about finding out that Chris Rock made a joke about her late sister, Nicole Brown Simpson.
Over the weekend, the comedian reportedly told audiences at his Phoenix, Arizona, show that he had been asked to host the 2023 Academy Awards, according to the local newspaper, The Arizona Republic.
Rock, who was slapped by Will Smith during this year’s Oscars, equated hosting the awards show to returning to the scene of the crime, the outlet reported. He then reportedly referenced O.J. Simpson’s murder trial, joking it would be like asking Brown Simpson “to go back to the restaurant.” The night she died, Brown Simpson left a pair of glasses at the restaurant.
“Nothing Is more lovely then to wake up on a Tuesday morning (Not) with TMZ calling you saying Chris Rock made a horrible ‘joke’ about Nicole,” Brown wrote on Instagram on Tuesday, alongside a photo of the comedian as well as a photo of Simpson and Brown Simpson. “BEYOND distasteful!”
Brown continued her post by touching on the joke Rock made about Jada Pinkett Smith at the March 27 awards ceremony. While the comedian was presenting, he joked about Pinkett Smith's shaved head. Pinkett Smith has alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss. The “King Richard” star got upset, smacked Rock across the face and yelled, “Keep my wife’s name out your f------ mouth.”
“Nothing funny about his joke towards Jada as she suffers from a physical condition and nothing funny about equating an Oscar host invitation to a double homicide,” Tanya wrote in her post. “I always thought he was funny, but he crossed the line with this one.”
Adding, “In other words, Y’all!!!! Stop using my sister, OJ and Ron part of your cricking comedy act. There are families behind this tragedy!”
Brown Simpson was killed along with her friend, waiter Ron Goldman, near her Los Angeles home in 1994. Simpson was arrested and accused of both killings. However, following a highly publicized trial, the former football player was acquitted of all charges.
In June, Brown paid tribute to her late sister in an Instagram slideshow that contained family photos.
"28 years. I miss you everyday!" she wrote. | https://www.today.com/popculture/popculture/nicole-brown-simpson-sister-reacts-chris-rock-joke-rcna45801 | 2022-09-01T03:07:09Z | https://www.today.com/popculture/popculture/nicole-brown-simpson-sister-reacts-chris-rock-joke-rcna45801 | false | 1 |

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

A man stabbed two people in a series of unprovoked attacks in Hell’s Kitchen on Wednesday night, police and sources said.
In the first incident, a 28-year-old man was stabbed on W. 50 St. near Eleventh Ave. around 7:20 p.m., cops said.
About half an hour later, the same attacker slashed a 27-year-old woman in the chest on W. 47 St. near Eleventh Ave., police said.
The victim of the first attack took himself to Mount Sinai West Hospital, where he was expected to recover. The second victim was also treated at Mount Sinai West in stable condition.
Police spotted the stabber — who lives in a nearby halfway house — walking down Ninth Ave. later Wednesday night and arrested him, sources said.
Officers recovered a kitchen knife believed to be the weapon he used in the attack in his backpack, sources said.
A man who works in a deli frequented by the alleged stabbed claimed he is mentally ill — and particularly unstable over the past week.
“This week, he was on something,” the 29-year-old worker said. “There were a lot of odd body movements. He’d start tweaking in the store, but I never figured he’d do something like this.” | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-two-stabbed-hells-kitchen-manhattan-20220901-5duhtpp5fvc7voelfetw2swkoi-story.html | 2022-09-01T03:28:40Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-two-stabbed-hells-kitchen-manhattan-20220901-5duhtpp5fvc7voelfetw2swkoi-story.html | false | 1 |

CorPower Ocean’s first commercial scale C4 Wave Energy Converter (WEC) has completed a rigorous one-year on-land testing programme, following a final ‘Ironman’ endurance exercise.
The dry test campaign was performed on a purpose built test-rig at CorPower Ocean’s headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden.
Using simulated wave loading from the 7.2 MW test rig, the C4 device has been tested in conditions representing several ocean sites around the world, culminating with a final ‘Ironman’ phase involving continuous operation and exposure to full range storm loading.
CorPower Ocean’s Director of Integration & Test, Jean-Michael Chauvet, said the device was placed under significant duress beyond levels expected in the field of operation in order to prove its durability and resistance to loads, vibrations, and thermal stress. All functions were tested, including the C4 WEC’s unique survival mode designed for robust operation in the harshest ocean conditions involving cyclic loads up to 4 MN (400 t).
“The final Ironman test brings to a close a significant chapter in the development of the CorPower C4 – our first commercial scale Wave Energy Converter,” said Mr Chauvet. “This has been an intense one-year process to systematically test our technology. Over this period, we have taken a staged and methodical approach to debug, stabilise, and fine-tune the C4 device to provide full confidence in the technology ahead of ocean deployment.”
The machine was heavily instrumented, allowing CorPower Ocean’s engineers to collect measurements using 500 sensors generating more than one terabyte of data during the test programme. Particular attention was paid to changes in characteristics within mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems during sustained operation in order to verify reliable operation in periods of high loading. The function and performance of the novel power take-off (PTO) technology has been well-characterised, with the data confirming conversion efficiency on target, with power export up to 700 kW.
The PTO system is now set to be transported to northern Portugal for final assembly with a composite hull and mooring components at CorPower Ocean’s Portugese base in Viana do Castelo, prior to ocean deployment of the C4 system at the nearby Agucadoura site.
“A series of significant milestones have been recorded in recent weeks, with the completion of the composite hull and on-land testing of the PTO,” said Mr Chauvet. “Site preparation work is well advanced for the deployment of our flagship HiWave-5 demonstration project. This will lay the foundations for one of the world’s first grid connected wave energy arrays, in turn helping demonstrate wave energy’s potential to bring greater stability to the global energy system and provide a future powered entirely by renewables.”
For the last decade, CorPower Ocean has been steadily undergoing a five-stage product development and verification process, which initially started with small scale tests in Portugal and France.
It later progressed to a half scale C3 WEC prototype, which also underwent dry testing prior to sea trials in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, leading up to the design, build, and testing of the first commercial scale C4 system in 2022.

MET Group is growing its European renewables portfolio by expanding into the Polish market. The Swiss-based energy company acquired a 100% stake in a greenfield solar power project in Poland, with an expected installed capacity of 60 MWp.
On 26 August 2022, MET Group signed a share purchase agreement with TOREN Spólka Akcyjna, a Polish renewables project development company, to buy its greenfield photovoltaic (PV) development project in Western Poland. The solar power plant is expected to achieve ready-to-build status in 2023.
Christian Hürlimann, Renewables CEO of MET Group, said: “We already have solar and wind park projects in Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, and now in Poland. As we aim to build a geographically diversified renewables portfolio, MET also targets Romania, Croatia, and Germany where the investment environment for renewable energy is improving, and interesting investment opportunities can be developed. From a business model perspective, our project portfolio is relying on both support mechanisms and market-based revenues (PPAs). Our objective is to acquire ready-to-build assets as well as to develop greenfield and brownfield sites.”

(Castle Rock, CO) A recent report by the financial website Wallet Hub listed the Douglas County School District as one of the least equitable districts in Colorado, ranking at No. 174 out of 178 districts.
Wallet Hub argues that states that provide more equitable funding across their districts help prevent poor students from “lower graduation rates, lower rates of pursuing higher education and smaller future incomes than their wealthy peers.
The report based its ranking on the average household income and public elementary and secondary school expenditures per pupil.
Douglas County’s average income, at $121,393, is higher than any county in Colorado, including Eagle and Pitkin counties, which are home to luxury resort areas Aspen and Vail, according to a 2022 report by Stacker.
Yet, with an average income of 86.8% above the national average, students in DougCo receive less per pupil funding from the state and county than 136 other districts.
How is that possible?
State funding based on fixed formula
Colorado has a fixed amount of money it allocates per pupil. According to House Bill (HB) 22-1390, the base amount for 2022-2023 is $7478.18, a 3.5% increase for inflation over the prior year.
The state then factors additional per-pupil funding based on the cost of living, district size, number of at-risk students, and online and ASCENT students. The state then multiplies this number by the budget stabilization factor (negative factor), which reduces the funding for each school district.
The good news is HB 22-1390 also reduced the budget stabilization factor by $820 million from last year, meaning districts will get more money per pupil than in prior years.
DougCo property taxes reduce state share
To determine what’s called the Total Program or total per-pupil dollar amount, the state factors how much the county makes in property taxes through the district’s mill rate.
Since Douglas County receives a large share of its Total Program through local property taxes, Colorado reduces its share. Colorado will increase its share if a county has very little property wealth to put the districts on equal footing.
The state formula makes funding less equitable
The nonprofit Great Education Colorado argues that Colorado only meets a fraction of the need for students who need additional services, like special education, gifted and talented, and at-risk.
And the school finance formula ensures that taxpayer effort is unequal across counties. State law (TABOR) also makes it so that Colorado can’t increase taxes without a taxpayer vote and the amount of revenue it can collect is limited.
DougCo can increase its per-pupil money through mill levy overrides (MLO), which the state doesn’t factor into the Total Program. The problem is that DougCo voters have only approved one MLO in the past decade, while other districts have successfully passed similar measures more frequently.
DougCo will ask voters to approve a $60 million per year MLO in November, but supporters face an uphill battle. School board conflict, inflation, and high gas prices could make it hard for taxpayers to swallow any tax increase, no matter how small. | https://original.newsbreak.com/@suzie-glassman-561249/2721383320797-dougco-schools-among-least-financially-equitable-in-the-state | 2022-09-01T03:43:00Z | https://original.newsbreak.com/@suzie-glassman-561249/2721383320797-dougco-schools-among-least-financially-equitable-in-the-state | false | 1 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@equibyte.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one equibyte.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon

Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

Serena Williams stuns Anett Kontaveit to reach third round at US Open
Serena Williams’ farewell tour took on a different complexion as she stunned second seed Anett Kontaveit to reach the third round of the US Open.
This was a sparkling performance from the diamond-clad veteran, who produced her best tennis since reaching the Australian Open semi-finals last January to win 7-6 (4) 2-6 6-2.
The dream ending – a record-equalling 24th grand slam singles title in her final tournament – is still a long way away, but this performance showed that it might just be a possibility.
Tiger Woods was among the famous faces cheering on Williams, who revealed in the Vogue essay announcing her “evolution” away from tennis that the golfing great had given her advice on whether to have one final crack.
That is looking a wise move now, and Williams, who next faces Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic, clearly believes she has more to offer.
“It’s no rush here,” she said. “I’m loving this crowd. There’s still a little left in me. We’ll see. I’m a pretty good player, this is what I do best. I love a challenge and I’m rising to the challenge.
“I haven’t played many matches, but I’ve been practising really well. The last couple of matches it’s come together. After I lost the second set I thought, ‘I’ve got to give my best effort because this could be it’.

“I’m just looking at it as a bonus. I don’t have anything to lose. I’ve had an X on my back since 1999. I really enjoy just coming out and enjoying it.”
There was not quite the same electricity as there had been on Monday night and a few more empty seats as once again the tournament played a montage declaring Williams the greatest of all time before she walked out on court.
Like Danka Kovinic before her, Kontaveit was left to busy herself on court, the second seed but very much the supporting act on tennis’ biggest stage.
Support from the stands was, of course, virtually entirely for Williams. The crowd may have come more in hope than expectation but it quickly became clear the 40-year-old was here to play.
Williams had moved well against Kovinic and it was the same here, while her strokes showed conviction and her serve, the best in the history of the women’s game, was firing.
Arthur Ashe Stadium erupted when Williams broke serve to lead 5-4 and, although she could not serve out the set, she held her nerve in the tie-break.
The celebration was understated for the job was only half done, and Kontaveit, who, despite her ranking, has struggled since contracting Covid-19 earlier this year, responded well at the start of the second set, upping her aggression and going on to level the match.
That made the early stages of the decider crucial and, to the delight of the crowd, it was Williams who stepped up again, producing her best tennis of the match to move into a 4-1 lead.

And, in a concerning sign for the rest of the field, Williams was ice cool in sight of victory, celebrating in an understated fashion that indicates she feels she has some way to go yet.
Elsewhere, third seed Maria Sakkari, beaten by Emma Raducanu in the semi-finals 12 months ago, also went out, losing 3-6 7-5 7-5 to young Chinese left-hander Wang Xiyu.
American stars Madison Keys and Coco Gauff set up a tasty third-round tie while fifth seed Ons Jabeur claimed a 7-5 6-2 victory over Elizabeth Mandlik, daughter of four-time grand slam singles champion Hana Mandlikova. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11167455/Serena-Williams-stuns-Anett-Kontaveit-reach-round-US-Open.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-01T04:02:46Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11167455/Serena-Williams-stuns-Anett-Kontaveit-reach-round-US-Open.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 20 |

Skoda’s Vision 7S Concept Puts Your Baby In A Weird Place
The Skoda Vision 7S EV SUV concept suggests popping your baby atop the centre console…
New images of the Skoda Vision 7S EV SUV concept show the new direction and identity of the Czech brand. The car is full of quirky, futuristic features – most notably, Skoda puts a baby seat on top of a long spine that runs through the centre of the car… With three rows of two seats for the adults, the brand calls the layout ‘six-plus-one’.
We’re pretty sure the designer doesn’t have kids; we doubt many people would appreciate a baby up on a pedestal screaming right in the middle of everyone. Babies also tend to grow up, so the seat won’t be useful for all that long.
It’s very unlikely that the interior layout will make it to production, with a traditional third seat in the second row like a standard seven-seater the most probable alternative. The concept’s interior has plenty of other features we’d love to see stay, though, such as integrated backpacks in the seat backs, lots of magnets dotted around the cabin to hold smartphones or water bottles, and a very uniquely shaped steering wheel that looks much more attractive than Tesla’s Yoke.
The Vision 7S is part of Skoda’s plan to launch three more EVs by 2026, joining its current sole electric car, the Enyaq. The Vision 7S is much larger than the Enyaq and is a lot more striking to look at, forming the basis of Skoda’s new design language.
Skoda’s current circular ‘winged arrow’ logo is nowhere to be seen on the Vision 7S – in fact, it’s been replaced by simple lettering spelling out the word ‘Skoda’. Despite its electric credentials, the current Enyaq was designed with features like a front grille, probably to make it look more appealing to those used to the design of traditional ICE cars – the Vision 7S does away with a grille completely, replacing it with a simple smooth black plastic trapezoidal element known as the ‘tech deck’ used to conceal important sensors and the like.
The Vision 7S also flaunts its electric status with an inverted power dome on the bonnet. While a power dome is usually a bump in the bonnet to accommodate a bigger engine and therefore more power, the 7S’s inverted design is intended to show off its lack of one.
The back of the 7S very much gives off Range Rover vibes with slimline rear lights that frame the boot handsomely. On the sides of the car, two pairs of doorhandles sitting close to each other suggest rear suicide doors – we don’t know how likely that is to make it to production, but let’s hope it does.
The concept’s 89kWh battery is capable of around 370 miles of electric range and makes use of the existing platform used on most of the Volkswagen Group’s electric models from the Skoda Enyaq to the Cupra Born. It’s likely that whatever production model the Vision 7S concept spawns will be one of the last to use this tech, with VW Group’s new SSP EV components due to come into use by the second half of this decade. | https://www.carthrottle.com/post/skodas-vision-7s-concept-puts-your-baby-in-a-weird-place/ | 2022-09-01T04:07:12Z | https://www.carthrottle.com/post/skodas-vision-7s-concept-puts-your-baby-in-a-weird-place/ | true | 1 |
US drama Project Blue Book explores secret UFO history
Canadian Laura Mennell has no trouble going where few actors have gone before in Project Blue Book.
The fact-based historical drama revolves around secret US Air Force investigations into supposed UFO encounters and unexplained phenomena, undertaken by astrophysics professor – and Project Blue Book head – Dr J Allen Hynek (Aiden Gillen, Littlefinger in Game Of Thrones) in the 1950s and 1960s.
Mennell didn't know much about UFOs, alien sightings and the like when she was cast as Hynek's wife Mimi but she quickly became fascinated by the subject.

* Season two of Liar asks 'Who killed Andrew Earlham?'
"It's one of the biggest mysteries of all time," says the 39-year-old actor, admitting she is now open to the possibility that humans are not the universe's only inhabitants.
"I think it would be pretty ignorant to dismiss everything. I think there is something to the mystery of UFOs. What that is exactly I don't know. Will we fully know during our lifetime? Who knows? But it's pretty exciting.
"There was some infrared footage released in the last couple of years of this 40-foot-long Tic Tac-shaped craft up in the sky. Stuff like that is bizarre and fascinating. I don't know how that can't stir up more questions in the general public."
Although Project Blue Book is based on fact, it is still a drama.
While the Hyneks were indeed real people – their sons are heavily involved in the series' production – other characters are more loosely based. Hynek's offsider, Captain Michael Quinn (The Vampire Diaries' Michael Malarkey), is inspired by USAF Captain Edward J Ruppelt, the first director of the real-life Project Blue Book and other characters are similarly based on historical figures.
"We're not making a documentary but, yeah, we're definitely infusing some real-life aspects into the show, particularly the cases," Mennell says, adding she is amazed how much was kept from the American public – and the world – in the 50s and 60s.
"Project Blue Book was one of the first versions of fake news in a way. It misinformed the public to quell any possible mass hysteria that could have happened. I thought, 'Why didn't I know these things?' These were real-life cases. There were over 12,000 of them and a little over 700 are still unresolved to this day.
"Even if we could prove one of those cases – and I think there's some pretty great evidence in our show – we'd have the quintessential truth of one of the greatest mysteries of all time."
The second season opens with Hynek and Quinn investigating the strange happenings at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 which led many people to believe the US government covered up a UFO crash.
"We're even dealing with the issue of the CIA mind-control programme that was going on at the time," Mennell says of Project Blue Book's second season.
"There's some really crazy stuff that I loved reading about and finding more about and I think the audience will too."
It will also be a season of change for Mimi who, when the show began, was a typical 50s housewife stuck in a rut of domesticity. However, her new friend Susi (Ksenia Solo) – revealed to be a KGB spy – made her take a new look at her life and what she wanted out of it.
"Mimi's going to take a little break from Suzy. She's going to set her sights elsewhere ... but for people who love Mimi and Susi, give it a bit of time ... they will reconnect and when they do some pretty crazy things will definitely happen."

GENEVA (AP) — China's discriminatory detention of Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim ethnic groups in the western region of Xinjiang may constitute crimes against humanity, the U.N. human rights office said in a long-awaited report Wednesday, which cited "serious" rights violations and patterns of torture in recent years.
The report seeks "urgent attention" from the U.N. and the world community to rights violations in Beijing's campaign to root out terrorism.
U.N. human rights chief Michelle Bachelet, facing pressure on both sides, brushed aside multiple Chinese calls for her office to withhold the report, which follows her own, much-criticized trip to Xinjiang in May. Beijing contends the report is part of a Western campaign to smear China's reputation.
The report has fanned a tug-of-war for diplomatic influence with the West over the rights of the region's native Uyghurs and other ethnic groups.
The report, which Western diplomats and U.N. officials said had been all but ready for months, was published with just minutes to go in Bachelet's four-year term. It was unexpected to break significant new ground beyond sweeping findings from researchers, advocacy groups and journalists who have documented concerns about human rights in Xinjiang for several years.
But the 48-page report comes with the imprimatur of the United Nations and its member countries — notably including rising superpower China itself. The report largely corroborates earlier reporting by advocacy groups and others and injects U.N heft behind the outrage that victims and their families have expressed about China's policies in Xinjiang.
"Beijing's repeated denial of the human rights crisis in Xinjiang rings ever-more hollow with this further recognition of the evidence of ongoing crimes against humanity and other human rights violation in the region," Agnes Callamard, Amnesty International's secretary-general, said in a statement.
The run-up to the report's release fueled a debate over China's influence at the world body and epitomized the on-and-off diplomatic chill between Beijing and the West over human rights, among other sore spots.
China shot back, saying the U.N. rights office ignored human rights "achievements" made together by "people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang."
"Based on the disinformation and lies fabricated by anti-China forces and out of presumption of guilt, the so-called 'assessment' distorts China's laws, wantonly smears and slanders China, and interferes in China's internal affairs," read a letter from China's diplomatic mission in Geneva issued in response to the U.N. report.
China released a 122-page report titled "Fight Against Terrorism and Extremism in Xinjiang: Truth and Facts" that defended its record and was distributed by the U.N. with its assessment.
The U.N. report says "serious human rights violations" have been committed in Xinjiang under China's policies to fight terrorism and extremism, which singled out Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim communities, between 2017 and 2019.
The report cites "patterns of torture" inside what Beijing called vocational training centers, which were part of its reputed plan to boost economic development in region, and it points to "credible" allegations of torture or ill-treatment, including cases of sexual violence.
Above all, perhaps, the report warns that the "arbitrary and discriminatory detention" of such groups in Xinjiang, through moves that stripped them of "fundamental rights … may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity."
The report called on China to release all individuals arbitrarily detained and to clarify the whereabouts of individuals who have disappeared and whose families are seeking information about them.
The report was drawn in part from interviews with former detainees and others familiar with conditions at eight detention centers. Its authors suggest China was not always forthcoming with information, saying requests for some specific sets of information "did not receive formal response."
The rights office said it could not confirm estimates of how many people were detained in the internment camps in Xinjiang, but added it was "reasonable to conclude that a pattern of large-scale arbitrary detention occurred" at least between 2017 and 2019.
According to investigations by researchers and journalists, the Chinese government's mass detention campaign in Xinjiang swept an estimated million or more Uyghurs and other ethnic groups into a network of prisons and camps over the past five years.
Beijing has closed many of the camps, but hundreds of thousands continue to languish in prison on vague, secret charges.
The report said that reports of sharp increases in arrests and lengthy prison sentences in the region strongly suggested a shift toward formal incarceration as the principal means for large-scale imprisonment and deprivation of liberty — instead of the use of the "vocational training centers" once touted by Beijing.
"This is of particular concern given the vague and capacious definitions of terrorism, 'extremism' and public security related offenses under domestic criminal law," the report said, saying it could lead to lengthy sentences, "including for minor offenses or for engaging in conduct protected by international human rights law."
Some countries, including the United States, have accused Beijing of committing genocide in Xinjiang. The U.N. report made no mention of genocide.
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 while noting her experience with political squeeze 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 departure date on Aug. 31. That led to a swell in 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.
Bachelet had set her sights on Xinjiang on taking office in September 2018, but Western diplomats voiced concern in private that over her term, she did not challenge China enough when other rights monitors had cited abuses against Uyghurs and others in Xinjiang.
In a statement from her office early Thursday, Bachelet said she had wanted to take "the greatest care" to deal with responses and input received from the Chinese government last week. Such reports are typically shared with the concerned country before final publication, but generally to check facts — not to allow vetting or influence of the final report.
"I said that I would publish it before my mandate ended and I have," she said after the report was published.
Critics had said a failure to publish the report would have been a glaring black mark on her tenure, and the pressure from some countries made her job harder.
"To be perfectly honest, the politicization of these serious human rights issues by some states did not help," said Bachelet, who early on staked out a desire to cooperate with governments.
"I appeal to the international community not to instrumentalize real, serious human rights issues for political ends, but rather to work to support efforts to strengthen the protection and promotion of human rights," she added.
Her trip to the region in May was widely criticized by human rights groups, the U.S. administration and other governments as a public relations exercise for China.
Hours before the publication, the spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Stephane Dujarric, said the U.N. chief had "no involvement" in how the report was drafted or handled, citing his commitment to Bachelet's independence.
Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch, said Bachelet's "damning findings explain why the Chinese government fought tooth and nail to prevent the publication of her Xinjiang report, which lays bare China's sweeping rights abuses."
Richardson urged the 47-member Human Rights Council, whose next session is in September, to investigate the allegations and hold those responsible to account.

The Toronto Blue Jays homestand proved to be rather disappointing to their fans as the team lost the final game of a three-game series to the Chicago Cubs.The Blue Jays pitching staff struggled tonight, allowing seven runs on 10 hits. After a 2-4 homestand against the Angels and Cubs, the Blue Jays' lead in the American League Wild Card is now two games over the Baltimore Orioles.
"RECAP" -@Blue Jays
Getting swept by the Los Angeles Angels followed by a loss to a struggling Cubs team is not exactly what you want down the stretch of the season.
Blue Jays starting pitcher Mitch White struggled tonight, going 4.2 innings, allowing 6 earned runs. White's ERA is now at 4.67.
Some fans are blaming the umpires for the loss.
Overall, an extremely disappointing loss for the Toronto Blue Jays at home. Having all the talent that the Blue Jays have and not showing up against two bottom feeders in the MLB is concerning.
08/31/2022: Chicago Cubs vs. Toronto Blue Jays Game Highlights
The Cubs got the scoring going early as outfielder Ian Happ delivered an RBI single to give the team a 1-0 lead.
"@ihapp_1 puts the Cubs on the board in the first!" - Marquee Sports Network
The Cubs stole a run in the second inning after Alfonso Rivas got into a pickle between first and second base, allowing Yan Gomes to score.

Then, in the third inning, Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner drove in two runs with a double to make it 4-0. This was his 19th double of the season.
"2 clutch. @nico_hoerner" - Marquee Sports Network
The Cubs got out to a 5-0 lead before Cavan Biggio put the Blue Jays on the board with a two-run home run. This was Biggio's fourth home run of the season.
"A B.I.G. blast" -@BlueJays
The Cubs held onto a 6-2 lead before Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk hit a three-run home run to cut the deficit to one run.
"No Cap'n, @alejandro_kirk CRUSHES" -@BlueJays
The comeback appeared to be on, but the Blue Jays offense could do no more, losing 7-5. The Toronto Blue Jays will look to move on from a disappointing homestand by traveling to Pittsburgh for a weekend series against the Pirates.

'Right thing to do': Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews says childcare reform is the biggest economic opportunity for Australia
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has revealed what he believes Australia’s greatest economic opportunity is while speaking at the Albanese Government's Jobs and Skills Summit on Thursday.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has declared there is "probably no greater economic opportunity" for Australia than reforming the childhood sector to welcome thousands of women currently "locked out" of the workforce.
The two-day Job's and Skills Summit to address the nation's labour shortages is also shining a light on ways to ensure women receive equal opportunities and pay in the workforce.
Mr Andrews on Thursday said reform to early childhood education would be the "biggest lever we can pull" to get women back to work after having kids.
He claimed the childcare system as it stands "doesn't work" as there is a lack of access which forces mothers to pick up the slack.
“This issue and unlocking the amazing potential, the under-utilised potential of women who are, because of a childcare system that doesn’t work and an early childhood education system that has never been expanded to a level it ought be, is perhaps the biggest lever we can pull - the biggest contribution we can make to economic prosperity,” he said.
“It also happens to be the right thing to do as well.”
The Andrews Government earlier this year committed $9 billion to expand kindergarten programs across Victoria, which includes free kinder from 2023.
It will be available for all children aged three and four at participating services in both sessional services and long day care settings – a saving of up to $2,500 per child, every year.
A new report released by consulting firm Deloitte found that the state government's free kinder program would increase the workforce by up to 24,800 full-time equivalent jobs.
“Currently, lack of access to childcare takes almost 26,600 women entirely out of the workforce in Victoria and costs our economy $1.5 billion per year in lost earnings alone,” Deloitte said.
Mr Andrews highlighted key figures from the report, noting women were locked out of the workforce largely due to a lack of access to childcare.
We're making kinder free.
— Dan Andrews (@DanielAndrewsMP) June 16, 2022
We're opening 50 government-run centres in the parts of the state that need them most.
And we're introducing a year of Pre-Prep learning.

“Just in my state there are 26,600 women who are completely locked out of the workforce,” he said.
“That costs $1.5 billion each and every year. That’s just in our state.
“That’s just those who are completely locked out. Those who can’t work the hours they want to work, well that’s a much bigger group again.
“There’s probably no greater economic opportunity for us, as a nation, than getting this right.”
Unions have also used the summit to push for urgent reform to industrial relations laws, calling for sector-wide bargaining for early for childhood teachers.
The Australian Council of Trade Unions has called on the Fair Work Commission to “proactively tackle gender inequity across all its functions, including stronger Equal Remuneration Order provisions which do not require a male comparator”.
One of the biggest spending measures promised by the Albanese Government was on childcare, with Labor pledging to spend about $5.4 billion extra over the course of the next four years.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese previously said the policy would take pressure off skills shortages, by boosting the workforce and improving the accessibility to childcare for families.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers will reveal the outcomes from the summit when he delivers his first budget on October 25.
The themes and outcomes of the summit will inform the Employment White Paper, which will help to shape the future of the labour market. | https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/politics/right-thing-to-do-victorian-premier-daniel-andrews-says-childcare-reform-is-the-biggest-economic-opportunity-for-australia/news-story/779a83156af4b2db2a0eb32b2bb307be | 2022-09-01T04:21:04Z | https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/politics/right-thing-to-do-victorian-premier-daniel-andrews-says-childcare-reform-is-the-biggest-economic-opportunity-for-australia/news-story/779a83156af4b2db2a0eb32b2bb307be | false | 1 |

Interesting video explains why people looked a lot older in the past than they do today
Were people unhealthy? Did they spend too much time in the sun?
08.27.22
This article originally appeared on 07.11.22
Ever look at your parents' high school yearbooks and think people looked so much older back then? All of the teenagers look like they’re in their mid-30s and the teachers who are 50 look like they’re 80.
When we watch older movies, even those from the 1980s, the teenagers appear to be a lot older as well.
Why is it that they looked so much older? Was life harder? Did people act more mature? Did they spend more time outdoors and less time playing video games? Is it their sense of fashion? Were they all smokers?
'You saved my life': Suicidal person's life is changed after reading a homemade bumper sticker
08.28.22
This article originally appeared on 02.24.22
Warning:The following story contains themes of suicide.
There’s an old Hebrew saying that if you “save one life, you save the world entire.” Who knows if Brooke Lacey, 22, had that lofty goal when she began a campaign in 2020 to help uplift people’s spirits during the first COVID-19 wave.
But her kind efforts may have done just that.
Lacey has struggled with mental health issues throughout her life and she knew that people like her were going to have a really hard time during COVID-19 lockdowns. A study from May 2021 found that the New Zealand population had “higher depression and anxiety compared with population norms.” The study also found that “younger people” and “those most at risk of COVID-19 reported poorer mental health.”
To help those who may be struggling, Lacey printed 600 stickers with an uplifting message and posted them around places where people may take their lives, including trains, bridges and large bodies of water in Wellington, New Zealand. She also made a bumper sticker with the same message for her car.
Ventriloquist on 'America's Got Talent' performs jaw-dropping tribute to Olivia Newton-John
Celia Muñoz's act was a sight to behold.
08.24.22
You might not think that ventriloquism is the highest art form in the world. But after watching Celia Muñoz deliver an amazing musical act on “America’s Got Talent,” you might be singing a different tune.
First off, her skills are incredible. Muñoz revealed to judges that she had previously worked as a professional opera singer in Spain and had picked up the vaudeville act on a whim.
“Normally people take about 20 years to learn how to do this,” judge Simon Cowell recalled. Muñoz nailed it in two.
Second, Muñoz paid an unexpected tribute to another iconic performer in the process, making it all the more special to watch. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2721403969789/upworthy-weekly-podcast-bizarre-bucket-list-upworthy-cats-hearing-black-holes | 2022-09-01T04:36:55Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2721403969789/upworthy-weekly-podcast-bizarre-bucket-list-upworthy-cats-hearing-black-holes | false | 1 |
DENVER (AP) — The anxious-looking women talk directly to the camera, warning that the Colorado Republican running for the U.S. Senate opposes the state’s reproductive rights law and supports the conservative Supreme Court justices who revoked the constitutional right to abortion this summer.
“It’s not even close,” one says as the ad for the incumbent Democratic senator wraps up. “We need Michael Bennet fighting for us.”
The spot is significant because the man it slams on abortion, businessman Joe O’Dea, is a rare Republican supporter of at least some abortion rights. O’Dea said he would back a law to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade, though he opposes abortions after 20 weeks except in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.
Analysts say similarly nuanced positions were once considered the political sweet spot in the complex world of abortion politics, coming closest to representing the views of the typical, conflicted voter. But that may be changing as abortion restrictions kick in following the fall of Roe with the high court’s ruling in June.
“We are here in this country, right now, with patients traveling thousands of miles for care because politicians have been given the room for the least little bit of nuance,” said Adrienne Mansanares of Planned Parenthood Action Colorado during a recent news conference to back Bennet.
The message from Democrats: Republicans can’t be trusted on the issue — regardless of their personal beliefs.
In New Hampshire, Democrats are attacking Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, who is running for reelection as a self-described “pro choice governor,” for supporting a ban on abortions after 23 weeks of pregnancy. In Connecticut, Democrats slammed as “extreme” former state Sen. George Logan in his race against Democratic U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes — despite Logan receiving an A rating in 2017 and 2018 from the Connecticut chapter of NARAL, an abortion rights group.
Also in Connecticut, the Republican candidate for governor, Bob Stefanowski, has launched a television ad highlighting how he and his Democratic opponent “are both pro-choice.” In an interview, Stefanowski said he was responding to repeated Democratic attacks on abortion, which he compared to lies.
“I don’t know how many times I can say I’m not going to change Connecticut law,“ Stefanowski said in an interview. “I’m going to support a woman’s right to choose.”
Abortion has become an increasingly partisan issue over recent decades, but public views have always been more shades of gray than black and white.
Typically, support for abortion rights is highest for women in the earliest stages of pregnancy and tapers off as the pregnancy advances, until it is lowest for abortions very close to delivery, said Jocelyn Kiley of the Pew Research Center. Still, exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother are popular at all stages.
“Most Americans see this as a nuanced issue and not legal all the time or illegal all the time,” Kiley said. But, she noted, “it’s possible that Americans’ underlying opinions about this are shifting in the past couple of months.”
On June 24, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed majority overturned Roe and triggered abortion bans in at least 13 states, many of which don’t provide exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother.
The reason this is happening, said Republican pollster Whit Ayres, is “you now have state legislatures that have taken positions opposed by 9 out of 10 Americans.”
“What the Dobbs decision has done along with these trigger laws is focus attention on the early part of pregnancy, not late term,” Ayres said.
While many Americans back some restrictions on abortion, especially after the first trimester, the most extreme measures introduced in some Republican-led states are at odds with public opinion, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll in July.
There are several signs that momentum is with abortion-rights backers. In conservative Kansas, a ballot measure to remove that state’s right to abortion lost by more than 150,000 votes. Democrats won a special election in a narrowly divided upstate New York swing district last week after their candidate focused on abortion. In a survey shortly after the Supreme Court ruling, Pew found that 62% of U.S. adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, the highest share in nearly 30 years of tracking the issue.
That’s emboldened Democrats to go after any Republican on abortion, regardless of the details of their position, said Jennifer Lawless, a politics professor at the University of Virginia who has long tracked the politics of reproductive health.
“Although the nuance on the issue is largely gone, the nuance of the case Democrats can make is stronger,” Lawless said.
She noted that Democrats can now make the more technical argument that any Republican elected increases the power of the party that overturned Roe and could spread abortion bans further across the country.
That’s an argument Colorado Democrats have tried to make, unsuccessfully, before. In 2014, Democratic Sen. Mark Udall lost his race to Republican Cory Gardner, an abortion rights opponent who defused the issue by backing over-the-counter women’s contraception to demonstrate he wasn’t hostile to reproductive health.
Gardner’s backers mocked Udall as “Mark Uterus” for hammering relentlessly on abortion and assured voters that Roe wasn’t at risk. He lost his reelection bid in 2020, when Colorado voters replaced him with a Democrat supporting abortion rights after President Donald Trump appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the deciding vote in Dobbs, in the campaign’s final weeks.
Now Democrats are trying again with O’Dea. In an interview, the first-time candidate said of his opponent’s attack: “It’s pretty dishonest, pretty disingenuous.”
Yet in 2020, O’Dea voted for a statewide ballot measure to bar abortions after 22 weeks that failed by 18 percentage points. The measure didn’t contain exceptions for rape, incest or to protect the mother’s life. He now says he thinks those exceptions are essential and added that he would support allowing the termination of nonviable pregnancies.
He noted he wasn’t a candidate for office when the measure was on the ballot.
“I didn’t look at all the nuances,” O’Dea said.
Colorado has a long history of backing abortion rights. It was the first state to legalize the procedure in cases of rape, incest and to protect the mother, taking that step in 1967. Earlier this year, the Democratic-controlled Legislature passed one of the most sweeping laws protecting abortion rights, guaranteeing no restrictions on abortions regardless of when in the pregnancy they occur. O’Dea opposes that law because of his belief that abortions should be outlawed past 20 weeks.
The race is playing out as Colorado has become a refuge for women seeking care after the Dobbs decision activated trigger laws in nearby states, especially Texas.
Karen Middleton, a former Democratic state lawmaker who runs the reproductive rights group Cobalt, recalled in an interview talking to a woman with an ectopic pregnancy driving hundreds of miles from Texas to Colorado to obtain an abortion who began bleeding in a remote area between the states.
“We’re a lot less willing to compromise,” she said.

Militaries of India-China hold talks in Eastern Ladakh
New Delhi, Sep 01: Senior military officials of India and China held talks in eastern Ladakh on Wednesday, focusing on maintaining security and stability in the region.
People familiar with the development said it was routine dialogue at the level of major general and such talks take place on a monthly basis.
The talks came amid a lingering standoff between the two sides at several friction points in the region.
There was no official word on the talks.
Should India be concerned about China's activities around LAC?
The Indian and Chinese armies are engaged in the stand-off at the friction points for more than two years.
India has been consistently maintaining that peace and tranquillity along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are key for the overall development of the bilateral ties, a PTI report said.

Local law enforcement agencies from suburban Southern California to rural North Carolina have been using an obscure cellphone tracking tool, at times without search warrants, that gives them the power to follow people’s movements months back in time, according to public records and internal emails obtained by The Associated Press.
Police have used “Fog Reveal” to search hundreds of billions of records from 250 million mobile devices, and harnessed the data to create location analyses known among law enforcement as “patterns of life,” according to thousands of pages of records about the company.
Sold by Virginia-based Fog Data Science LLC, Fog Reveal has been used since at least 2018 in criminal investigations ranging from the murder of a nurse in Arkansas to tracing the movements of a potential participant in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. The tool is rarely, if ever, mentioned in court records, something that defense attorneys say makes it harder for them to properly defend their clients in cases in which the technology was used.
The company was developed by two former high-ranking Department of Homeland Security officials under ex-President George W. Bush. It relies on advertising identification numbers, which Fog officials say are culled from popular cellphone apps such as Waze, Starbucks and hundreds of others that target ads based on a person’s movements and interests, according to police emails. That information is then sold to companies like Fog.
“It’s sort of a mass surveillance program on a budget,” said Bennett Cyphers, a special advisor at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital privacy rights advocacy group.

This story, supported by the Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting, is part of an ongoing Associated Press series, “Tracked,” that investigates the power and consequences of decisions driven by algorithms on people’s everyday lives.
____
The documents and emails were obtained by EFF through Freedom of Information Act requests. The group shared the files with The AP, which independently found that Fog sold its software in about 40 contracts to nearly two dozen agencies, according to GovSpend, a company that keeps tabs on government spending. The records and AP’s reporting provide the first public account of the extensive use of Fog Reveal by local police, according to analysts and legal experts who scrutinize such technologies.
“Local law enforcement is at the front lines of trafficking and missing persons cases, yet these departments are often behind in technology adoption,” Matthew Broderick, a Fog managing partner, said in an email. “We fill a gap for underfunded and understaffed departments.”
Because of the secrecy surrounding Fog, however, there are scant details about its use and most law enforcement agencies won’t discuss it, raising concerns among privacy advocates that it violates the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which protects against unreasonable search and seizure.
What distinguishes Fog Reveal from other cellphone location technologies used by police is that it follows the devices through their advertising IDs, unique numbers assigned to each device. These numbers do not contain the name of the phone’s user, but can be traced to homes and workplaces to help police establish pattern-of-life analyses.
“The capability that it had for bringing up just anybody in an area whether they were in public or at home seemed to me to be a very clear violation of the Fourth Amendment,” said Davin Hall, a former crime data analysis supervisor for the Greensboro, North Carolina Police Department. “I just feel angry and betrayed and lied to.”
Hall resigned in late 2020 after months of voicing concerns about the department’s use of Fog to police attorneys and the city council.
While Greensboro officials acknowledged Fog’s use and initially defended it, the police department said it allowed its subscription to expire earlier this year because it didn’t “independently benefit investigations.”
But federal, state and local police agencies around the U.S. continue to use Fog with very little public accountability. Local police agencies have been enticed by Fog’s affordable price: it can start as low as $7,500 a year. And some departments that license it have shared access with other nearby law enforcement agencies, the emails show.
Police departments also like how quickly they can access detailed location information from Fog. Geofence warrants, which tap into GPS and other sources to track a device, are accessed by obtaining such data from companies, like Google or Apple. This requires police to obtain a warrant and ask the tech companies for the specific data they want, which can take days or weeks.
Using Fog’s data, which the company claims is anonymized, police can geofence an area or search by a specific device’s ad ID numbers, according to a user agreement obtained by AP. But, Fog maintains that "we have no way of linking signals back to a specific device or owner,” according to a sales representative who emailed the California Highway Patrol in 2018, after a lieutenant asked whether the tool could be legally used.
Despite such privacy assurances, the records show that law enforcement can use Fog’s data as a clue to find identifying information. “There is no (personal information) linked to the (ad ID),” wrote a Missouri official about Fog in 2019. “But if we are good at what we do, we should be able to figure out the owner.”
Federal oversight of companies like Fog is an evolving legal landscape. On Monday, the Federal Trade Commission sued a data broker called Kochava that, like Fog, provides its clients with advertising IDs that authorities say can easily be used to find where a mobile device user lives, which violates rules the commission enforces. And there are bills before Congress now that, if passed, would regulate the industry.
Fog’s Broderick said in an email that the company does not have access to people’s personal information, and draws from “commercially available data without restrictions to use,” from data brokers "that legitimately purchase data from apps in accordance with their legal agreements.” The company refused to share information about how many police agencies it works with.
“We are confident Law Enforcement has the responsible leadership, constraints, and political guidance at the municipal, state, and federal level to ensure that any law enforcement tool and method is appropriately used in accordance with the laws in their respective jurisdictions,” Broderick said.

Kevin Metcalf, a Washington County, Arkansas prosecutor, said he has used Fog Reveal without a warrant, especially in “exigent circumstances.” In these cases, the law provides a warrant exemption when a crime-in-process endangers people or an officer.
Metcalf also leads the National Child Protection Task Force, a nonprofit that combats child exploitation and trafficking. Fog is listed on its website as a task force sponsor and a company executive chairs the nonprofit’s board. Metcalf said Fog has been invaluable to cracking missing children cases and homicides.
“We push the limits, but we do them in a way that we target the bad guys,” he said. “Time is of the essence in those situations. We can’t wait on the traditional search warrant route.”
Fog was used successfully in the murder case of 25-year-old nurse Sydney Sutherland, who had last been seen jogging near Newport, Arkansas before she disappeared, Metcalf said.
Police had little evidence to go on when they found her phone in a ditch, so Metcalf said he shared his agency’s access to Fog with the U.S. Marshals Service to figure out which other devices had been nearby at the time she was killed. He said Fog helped lead authorities to arrest a farmer in Sutherland’s rape and murder in August 2020, but its use was not documented in court records reviewed by AP.
Cyphers, who led EFF’s public records work, said there hasn’t been any previous record of companies selling this kind of granular data directly to local law enforcement.
“We’re seeing counties with less than 100,000 people where the sheriff is using this extremely high tech, extremely invasive, secretive surveillance tool to chase down local crime,” Cyphers said.
One such customer is the sheriff’s office in rural Rockingham County, North Carolina, population 91,000 and just north of Greensboro, where Hall still lives. The county bought a one-year license for $9,000 last year and recently renewed it.
“Rockingham County is tiny in terms of population. It never ceases to amaze me how small agencies will scoop up tools that they just absolutely don’t need, and nobody needs this one,” Hall said.
Sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Kevin Suthard confirmed the department recently renewed its license but declined to offer specifics about the use of Fog Reveal or how the office protects individuals’ rights.
“Because it would then be less effective as criminals could be cognizant that we have the device and adjust their commission of the crimes accordingly. Make sense?” Suthard said.
Fog has aggressively marketed its tool to police, even beta testing it with law enforcement, records show. The Dallas Police Department bought a Fog license in February after getting a free trial and “seeing a demonstration and hearing of success stories from the company,” Senior Cpl. Melinda Gutierrez, a department spokeswoman, said in an email.
Fog’s tool is accessed through a web portal. Investigators can enter a crime scene’s coordinates into the database, which brings back search results showing a device’s Fog ID, which is based on its unique ad ID number.
Police can see which device IDs were found near the location of the crime. Detectives or other officers can also search the location for IDs going forward from the time of the crime and back at least 180 days, according to the company’s user license agreement. But, Fog’s data can go back as far as June 2017, according to emails from a Fog representative to Florida and California law enforcement agencies.
While the data does not directly identify who owns a device, the company often gives law enforcement information it needs to connect it to addresses and other clues that help detectives figure out people’s identities, according to company representatives’ emails.
It is unclear how Fog makes these connections, but a company it refers to as its “data partner” called Venntel, Inc. has access to an even greater trove of users’ mobile data.
Venntel is a large broker that has supplied location data to agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the FBI. The Department of Homeland Security’s watchdog is currently investigating how U.S. border agents used Venntel data to track people’s locations inside the U.S. without a search warrant. The company also has faced congressional inquiries about privacy concerns tied to federal law enforcement agencies’ use of its data.
Venntel and Fog work closely together to aid police detectives during investigations, emails show. Their marketing brochures are nearly identical, too, and Venntel staff has recommended Fog to law enforcement, according to the emails. Venntel said “the confidential nature of our business relationships” prevented them from responding to AP’s specific questions, and Fog would not comment on the relationship.
While Fog says in its marketing materials that it collects data from thousands of apps, like Starbucks and Waze, companies are not always aware of who is using their data. Venntel and Fog can collect billions of data points filled with detailed information because many apps embed invisible tracking software that follow users’ behavior. This software also lets the apps sell customized ads that are targeted to a person’s current location. In turn, data brokers’ software can hoover up personal data that can be used for other purposes. Fog did not specifically say how it got the data from Starbucks and Waze.
For their part, Starbucks and Waze denied any relationship to Fog. Starbucks said it had not given permission to its business partners to share customer information with Fog.
“Starbucks has not approved Ad ID data generated by our app to be used in this way by Fog Data Science LLC. In our review to date, we have no relationship with this company,” said Megan Adams, a Starbucks spokesperson.
“We have never had a relationship with Fog Data Science, have not worked with them in any capacity, and have not shared information with them,” a Waze spokesperson said.

Fog Data Science LLC is headquartered in a nondescript brick building in Leesburg, Virginia. It also has related entities in New Jersey, Ohio and Texas.
It was founded in 2016 by Robert Liscouski, who led the Department of Homeland Security’s National Cyber Security Division in the George W. Bush era. His colleague, Broderick, is a former U.S. Marine brigadier general who ran DHS’ tech hub, the Homeland Security Operations Center, during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. A House bipartisan committee report cited Broderick amongst others for failing to coordinate a swift federal response to the deadly hurricane. Broderick resigned from DHS shortly thereafter.
In marketing materials, Fog also has touted its ability to offer police “predictive analytics,” a buzzword often used to describe high-tech policing tools that purport to predict crime hotspots. Liscouski and another Fog official have worked at companies focused on predictive analytics, machine learning and software platforms supporting artificial intelligence.
“It is capable of delivering both forensic and predictive analytics and near real-time insights on the daily movements of the people identified with those mobile devices,” reads an email announcing a Fog training last year for members of the National Fusion Center Association, which represents a network of intelligence-sharing partnerships created after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Fog’s Broderick said the company had not invested in predictive applications, and provided no details about any uses the tool had for predicting crime.
Despite privacy advocates’ concerns about warrantless surveillance, Fog Reveal has caught on with local and state police forces. It’s been used in a number of high-profile criminal cases, including one that was the subject of the television program “48 Hours.”
In 2017, a world-renowned exotic snake breeder was found dead, lying in a pool of blood in his reptile breeding facility in rural Missouri. Police initially thought the breeder, Ben Renick, might have died from a poisonous snake bite. But the evidence soon pointed to murder.
During its investigation, emails show the Missouri State Highway Patrol used Fog’s portal to search for cellphones at Renick’s home and breeding facility and zeroed in on a mobile device. Working with Fog, investigators used the data to identify the phone owner’s identity: it was the Renicks’ babysitter.
Police were able to log the babysitter’s whereabouts over time to create a pattern of life analysis.
It turned out to be a dead-end lead. Renick’s wife, Lynlee, later was charged and convicted of the murder.
Prosecutors did not cite Fog in a list of other tools they used in the investigation, according to trial exhibits examined by the AP.
But Missouri officials seemed pleased with Fog’s capabilities, even though it didn’t directly lead to an arrest. “It was interesting to see that the system did pick up a device that was absolutely in the area that day. Too bad it did not belong to a suspect!”a Missouri State Highway Patrol analyst wrote in an email to Fog.
In another high-profile criminal probe, records show the FBI asked state intelligence officials in Iowa for help with Fog as it investigated potential participants in the events at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
“Not definitive but still waiting to talk things over with a FOG rep,” wrote Justin Parker, deputy director of the Iowa Department of Public Safety, in an email to an FBI official in September 2021. It was unclear from the emails if Fog’s data factored into an arrest, and neither the FBI nor Iowa officials would comment.

Metcalf, the Arkansas prosecutor, has argued against congressional efforts to require search warrants when using technologies like Fog Reveal.
He believes Americans have given up any reasonable expectation of privacy when they use free apps and likens EFF’s objections to tech like Fog to a “cult of privacy.”
“I think people are going to have to make a decision on whether we want all this free technology, we want all this free stuff, we want all the selfies,” he said. “But we can’t have that and at the same time say, ‘I’m a private person, so you can’t look at any of that.’ That just seems crazy.”
Although he is not an official Fog employee, Metcalf said he would step in to lead training sessions including the tool for federal prosecutors, federal agencies and police, including the Chicago Police Department, the emails show.
That kind of hands-on service and word-of-mouth marketing in tight-knit law enforcement circles seems to have helped increase Fog’s popularity.
The Maryland State Police is among the many agencies that have had contracts for Fog Reveal, and records show investigators believed it had a lot of potential.
“Companies have receptors all over. Malls, shopping centers, etc. They’re all around you,” wrote Sgt. John Bedell of the Criminal Enforcement Division, in an email to a colleague. The agency purchased a year of access to Fog in 2018.
“Picture getting a suspect’s phone then in the extraction being able to see everyplace they’d been in the last 18 months plotted on a map you filter by date ranges,” wrote Bedell. “The success lies in the secrecy.”
Elena Russo, a spokesperson for the agency, confirmed it had a Fog license previously but that it had lapsed. “Unfortunately, it was not helpful in solving any crimes,” she wrote in an email.
Still, as more local policing agencies sign up for Fog, some elected officials said they have been left in the dark. Several officials said there wasn’t enough information to grasp what services Fog actually provides.
“Who is this company? What are the track records? What are the privacy protections?” asked Anaheim council member Jose Moreno, remembering his confusion about Fog during a 2020 council meeting. “That night our chief had very little information for us.”
In Anaheim, the Fog license was paid for by a federal “Urban Area Security Initiative,” DHS grants that help localities fund efforts to prevent terrorism. A police spokesman said the department has not used it.
Defense attorneys worry there are few legal restrictions on law enforcement’s use of location data.
It’s a gap police agencies exploit, and often don’t disclose in court, said Michael Price, litigation director of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers’ Fourth Amendment Center.
“(Fog) is exceedingly rare to see in the wild because the cops often don’t get warrants,” said Price.
“Even if you do ask for (information) sometimes they say ‘We don’t know what you are talking about.’”
Privacy advocates worry Fog’s location tracking could be put to other novel uses, like keeping tabs on people who seek abortions in states where it is now illegal. These concerns were heightened when a Nebraska woman was charged in August with helping her teenage daughter end a pregnancy after investigators got hold of their Facebook messages.
Government’s use of location data is still being weighed by the courts, too. In 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that police generally need a warrant to look at records that reveal where cellphone users have been.
Nearly two years after walking off the crime data supervisor job with the Greensboro police force, Davin Hall still worries about police surveillance in neighboring communities.
“Anyone with that login information can do as many searches as they want,” Hall said. “I don’t believe the police have earned the trust to use that, and I don’t believe it should be legal.”

It started out as a day of woe for the Australian WorldTour team with the abandonment of Simon Yates after confirmation that he had contracted COVID. The former Vuelta winner was sitting fifth overall, 4'50 behind race leader Remco Evenepoel (QuickStep Alpha Vinyl).
“It’s devastating for us and the team,” team director Gene Bates said ahead of the stage start. “We had a big focus for the Vuelta with Simon and we were going well. There’s clearly a very strong top three at the moment, but we had a steady approach, and it was going in our favour, he’d moved up another spot to fifth overall on Tuesday.
“It's a hard pill to swallow. But the key thing is we can’t control that, so we look to what we can control and that’s all about regrouping and getting the most out of the rest of the Vuelta.”

Bates said that overnight Yates had come down with a high fever as well as other symptoms and did not sleep well. It’s the second time in Yates’ career that he’s had to abandon mid-race with a COVID diagnosis, after leaving the Giro d’Italia in 2020 with another COVID positive test.
If he finished fifth, Yates would have been in line for 380 UCI points, a valuable buoying of BikeExchange-Jayco’s chances of avoiding relegation under the new UCI rules.
“It’s a blow,” said Bates. “We can’t hide that, so we’ll just have to get a bit imaginative on where we look for those points, won’t we?
“As we know the points system and the way it’s set up doesn’t favour stage wins, more one-day races and overalls. But we’ve got the focus on stages here, and that’s what we’ll do while we’re here and we’re looking for other plan Bs.”
That was the cue for Groves to step up and take the stage win off the back of a very good leadout performance from the team, with Kell O’Brien particularly shining in his effort to keep the team at the front in the closing kilometres.
Hepburn took over, then Groves finished the race off with a powerful sprint to take the victory, his first in Grand Tours in his third season as a professional.
“I’ve got to thank all the guys, Luke was riding all day, and then we set up early for the wind,” said Groves. “We thought there would be crosswinds a bit earlier, but there was nothing until the final 4km where we were first team, and the guys did a perfect job of keeping me in front and fresh.
“We were first team in the bunch with four kilometres to go, and I never changed position, only when a few other sprinters came up too early. But luckily I was fresh enough to be able to pass them before the line.
“It’s been a really good year. I’m super happy to get a win here already and there’s still more stages to come.”
Groves secured a valuable 100 UCI points in the relegation battle, in which the Australian team sit 460 points clear of the drop, with Lotto Soudal and Israel-Premier Tech the WorldTour squads that are currently in line not to have a men’s WorldTour licence in 2023.
La Vuelta continues with a summit finish to Peñas Blancas on Stage 12, a very hard climb that will again see the top climbers come to fore to compete for the stage victory and red jersey.

Photos of a very young Sean Paul during his days as a member of Jamaica’s national water polo team have surfaced thanks to one of the Grammy-winning artist’s old teammates.
The photos show a relatively young Paul along with a young man named Jake Muller together. Muller shared the photos on Twitter in response to a random tweet that asked followers to “tweet a true story from your life that sounds made up.”
In response, Muller said, “when I was 16, I played water polo against Grammy Award-winning reggae artist Sean Paul.”
The tweet accompanied three photos showing Muller shaking hands with Sean Paul. The Jamaican is seen wearing a white t-shirt and a grey cap on his head with what looks like braids peeking out.
There is also a troll-worthy photo of Paul and Muller, who are both bare-chested and wearing black speedos with nothing else to cover their abs and torsos. Paul has not reacted to the photos, but he was last spotted performing in Nottingham, United Kingdom.
Sean Paul previously spoke about his time on the water polo team, which started when he was 13 – 21 years old.
In an interview this year, Paul said he gave up a possible career in water polo sport to follow his music career. In a Guardian interview, the “Baby Girl” artist says that his family was going through immense hardship after his father was imprisoned. As he fluttered to understand all that was happening while also coping with his new economic circumstances, he turned to Bob Marley’s music for inspiration.
The singer said that after releasing his first song and being told that he would be a “one-hit-wonder,” he was determined to prove everyone wrong, and that’s when he quit water polo in 1996 to chase after his dreams of becoming an artiste. He is credited among the very few who exposed dancehall as a genre to the world.
To date Sean Paul is a 9 time Grammy nominated dancehall artist with one Grammy win under his belt. | https://grenadachronicle.com/sean-pauls-old-water-polo-photos-with-teammate-in-jamaica-going-viral/ | 2022-09-01T05:20:41Z | https://grenadachronicle.com/sean-pauls-old-water-polo-photos-with-teammate-in-jamaica-going-viral/ | false | 10 |
The owner of a North Dakota farm was found dead in a wheat field with three family members after a possible murder-suicide that loved ones described as a “complete nightmare.”
Douglas Dulmage, 56, was fatally shot on his combine harvester in a field south of Cando on Monday, friends and police said.
Three other men found dead in the field were identified by the Towner County Sheriff’s Office as relatives Justin Bracken, 34; Richard Bracken, 64; and Robert Bracken, 59, of Cando. The three had been working on harvesting the field with Dulmage at the time of the shooting.
His family is “living a complete nightmare,” his close friend Pat Traynor told The Associated Press.
Deputies found each of the four men dead in the field from gunshot wounds. A .357 revolver was recovered near one of the bodies, but officials did not say which body.
“Evidence from the scene indicates that this incident was a murder-suicide and there is no known threat to the public,” Sheriff Andrew Hillier said in a statement.
No other details surrounding the circumstances of the case have been released. The Sheriff’s office said a forensic medical examination of the victims would take place in the next few days.
Traynor said Dulmage owned the property. He lived in the neighboring town of Leeds with his wife and two children but farmed with his 95-year-old father on their land outside of town.
The deaths come at a critical time in rural North Dakota, just ahead of the harvesting season. Traynor said local farmers and friends of the Dulmage family have already met to discuss how they will handle the upcoming harvest of wheat, corn and soybeans.
North Dakota’s Farm Bureau President Daryl Lies said Dulmage served as president of the Benson County Farm Bureau.
“It’s hard to grasp and understand why something like this can happen in rural North Dakota,” he said.
Cando is a town of just over 1,000 people, located just 40 miles south of the Canadian border and 118 miles west of Grand Forks.

After debuting as a professional starter and scoring the winning goal for Vasco, Eguinaldo had a dream night in São Januário, in the 2-1 victory over Guarani, this Wednesday. The 18-year-old striker left the field to a standing ovation. Called up to the U-20 National Team, the youngster would miss the team against Brusque and Grêmio, but in the mixed zone, he confirmed that he got the release for Saturday.
– After the game against Brusque, I’m going to the national team. God willing, we will leave with the three points, I hope I play well and score a goal too. Then I’ll go to the national team, win the fours – said Eguinaldo.

+ Emílio Faro praises Vasco’s reaction after victory: “Committed team”
Vasco got the release for the match against Brusque, which takes place on Saturday, at 16:30, at Augusto Bauer. In this way, Eguinaldo will only be out of the game against Grêmio, for the dispute of a quadrangular of the U-20, between Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Uzbekistan, which will serve as preparation for the South American in 2023. Andrey Santos, one of the leaders of Ramon Menezes’ team, was not called up and will be available for both matches.
In the mixed zone, Eguinaldo told about the emotion of making the first match as a starter for Vasco. The striker who arrived at the club last year, spoke of the meteoric rise that lives in São Januário.
– The emotion is very great. Whenever I talk to my teammates I say this. It’s all happening too fast in my life. I arrived practically last year here, I’m already in the professional team scoring goals. Now it’s time to think about the game against Brusque and guarantee the three points away from home.
Best moments: Vasco 2 x 1 Guarani, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão Serie B 2022
In addition to the goal scored, Vasco’s second in the match, Eguinaldo participated well in many plays in the match. He pulled an important counterattack in the first half, which ended in a submission out of Nenê, and made a move starting alone from the midfield, but submitted it outside. After this move, he felt his leg and was substituted, being cheered by the crowd.
– Every child dreams of it. In being a player and being cheered by the crowd. Thank God I got a standing ovation today, by a crowd as beautiful and incredible as Vasco’s, who are always supporting us. About the injury, I’m fine, I just felt my groin there at the end of the game, but I’m ready to take the field for the next game on Saturday.
Vasco faces Brusque for the next round of Serie B, on Saturday, at 4:30 pm, at Augusto Bauer. Emílio Faro’s team has 45 points and occupies third place in the competition with 45 points. The advantage in the G4 is four points for Londrina, fifth.

The United Nations (UN) has (local time) said that China's "arbitrary and discriminatory detention" of Uyghurs and other Muslim communities in the Xinjiang region may constitute crimes against humanity. It made the remarks in a long-awaited report that was released on Wednesday.
The report was released by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, visited China in this May, shortly before the end of her four-year term. Bachelet has been facing criticism "for being too soft on China".
In its 48-page report, the UN Human Rights Office said that "serious human rights violations" were committed in the Xinjiang region "in the context of the government's application of counter-terrorism and counter-'extremism' strategies".
"The extent of arbitrary and discriminatory detention of members of Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim groups ... may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity," the report said, asking China to immediately release all people who are detained in training centers, prisons or detention facilities.
"There are credible indications of violations of reproductive rights through the coercive enforcement of family planning policies since 2017," it said, adding that a lack of government data "makes it difficult to draw conclusions on the full extent of current enforcement of these policies and associated violations of reproductive rights."
China has been regularly accused of violating human rights of Uyghurs, a mainly Muslim ethnic minority that numbers around 10 million in the western Xinjiang region. However, China has always denied the allegations.
It has also refuted the UN report and called a "farce" planned by the United States (US), the West and anti-China forces based on false information and the assumption of guilt.
Zhang Jun, China's ambassador to the UN in New York, said ahead of the report's release that the UN Human Rights Office should not interfere in the country's internal affairs.
"We all know, so well, that the so-called Xinjiang issue is a completely fabricated lie out of political motivations and its purpose definitely is to undermine China's stability and to obstruct China's development," he said. "We do not think it will produce any good to anyone, it simply undermines the cooperation between the United Nations and a member state." | https://english.jagran.com/world/china-violated-human-rights-by-arbitrary-discriminatory-detention-of-uyghurs-in-xinjiang-un-report-10048540 | 2022-09-01T05:23:13Z | https://english.jagran.com/world/china-violated-human-rights-by-arbitrary-discriminatory-detention-of-uyghurs-in-xinjiang-un-report-10048540 | false | 1 |
A success on Netflix, Echoes ends with a really bombastic ending. Anyone who has already checked out the surprising conclusion wants to know: will the mystery series have a 2nd season? Unfortunately, it seems that the new episodes should not happen. So why won’t the series get a sequel on Netflix?
“Leni and Gina are identical twins and have secretly switched places for years. But it all starts to fall apart when one of them disappears,” states the official synopsis of Echoes on Netflix
Created by Vanessa Gazy, Echoes stars Michelle Monaghan (True Detective) as protagonists Lori and Gina. The cast also includes Matt Bomer (American Horror Story) and Karen Robinson (Schitt’s Creek).
We reveal below why Echoes shouldn’t get a 2nd season on Netflix; check out.
Has Echoes been canceled on Netflix? Why won’t the series have a 2nd season?
According to the outcome of Echoes, the structure of the series, and the criteria used by Netflix to renew its original productions, the plot should not win a 2nd season.
After all, Echoes is not a series, but a miniseries. That is: its 1st season tells a complete story, with a beginning, middle and end.
The aim of Vanessa Gazy, the creator of the series, was not to build a story that unfolded over several seasons, but to offer viewers a closed narrative, with no open ends for a potential continuation.
That’s why Echoes shouldn’t get a 2nd season on Netflix. However, that doesn’t mean the series has been cancelled.
With the end of season 1, the mystery series reaches its natural conclusion. In other words, it is not “canceled”, but simply comes to an end.
For Netflix, turning a miniseries into a series isn’t exactly a good deal. With each renewal, the platform raises the salary of the cast and crew of its original productions.
Therefore, streaming only renews miniseries that reach huge success. Round 6 is a great example.
Originally, the South Korean series was produced as a miniseries. However, after the monumental success of the plot, the platform convinced creator Hwang Dong-hyuk to produce a never-before-seen story for a 2nd season.
The Curse series is another important example. In Mike Flanagan’s original perspective, the series would only have one season. However, after the great success, Netflix decided to turn it into an anthology.
The trend, however, should not be repeated in Echoes. The mystery series is successful, but it’s nowhere near the popularity of Round 6 and The Curse.
You can now check out all episodes of Echoes season 1 on Netflix.

Bogue Hill Primary gets first government scholarship
WESTERN BUREAU:
An 11-year-old who declared that he wanted out of day care at age two, because he needed to be in the classroom, is the 2022 recipient of the George William Gordon Scholarship.
Nine years after that declaration, Daniel William Gordon, who scored 397.3 out of a possible 400 in his PEP examination, said being the bearer of his namesake’s scholarship is destiny.
A student of Bogue Hill Primary and Infant School, Daniel, who will attend Herbert Morrison Technical High, has brought his Montego-Bay-based alma mater several notches up, helping them to stake their claim in the academic history books.
This is the first government scholarship for Bogue Hill, which up to 2006 was operating below par, but has become one of the most sought-after institutions in the tourism capital. In 2019, Bogue Hill topped the Ministry of Education’s Region 4 Grade Four Literacy Test and placed second in numeracy.
Daniel, who has been attending the school since kindergarten, said he had hoped to win a scholarship, but never expected to win. A high achiever, whose humility would not allow him to sound overconfident, the 11-year-old hopes to be a commercial pilot in the future, and if that fails, will opt for medicine. He said having earned this feat, he feels very accomplished.
“I feel the teachers who taught me are feeling as excited and happy,” he told The Gleaner from his home in Montego Bay on Tuesday afternoon.
BRILLIANCE
As academically inclined as he is, he does find time to play video games, while he admits that his brilliance does not equate to his chess games or when he plays the clarinet, which are all a part of his extracurricular activities.
The son of Cornwallian William Gordon, Daniel said he opted to attend a co-ed school, and is on record telling his friends that he would rather get his face punched in by his father than a boy.
But I prefer he deal with me than multiple occasions of a boy dealing with me. Herbert Morrison has both male and female, so I’m less likely to be bullied around that much,” he expressed.
There is probably no one happier than Daniel’s mother, Dianne Bowen, a lecturer at the Sam Sharpe Teachers’ College. Both his parents are lecturers at the college.
Bowen said she expected her son to do well, whether or not he copped a scholarship, “because he is a brilliant child. At age two, he told me he wanted to go to school; he was through with day care”, Bowen stated.
She said he proved his mettle by being responsible and diligent when it came to his schoolwork. “He is very inquisitive. He will explore. He asks a lot of questions. He will challenge you, and he will rationalise things. He is a critical thinker.”
Daniel is known to assist his peers who may have challenges understanding what they were taught in class, and Bogue Hill principal Lorna Crooks concurs.
Young Daniel’s success is the school’s as well, Crooks noted.
“School is about children, and the children are our focus. What we seek to do is meet them where they are. We put in intervention strategies for those who struggle,” Crooks noted, clarifying that since the day Daniel stepped into Bogue Hill, his potential was recognised.
He has been an honour student since kindergarten, she said. However, she lauded his parents who, she said, bought into the school’s vision. “The parents worked with us. They played a pivotal role. They are great motivators and that makes our lives easier.”
Crooks described the young man who has placed the institution into the spotlight as lovable, and one who reads a lot. “He tends to be on the shy side, but that doesn’t stop him from excelling.”
Most of her students did well in the PEP and were placed at traditional high schools such as Mt Alvernia, Montego Bay High, Rusea’s, and some as far as away as Munro College and St Elizabeth Technical High.
“We have had children who have been getting these grades because we have positioned ourselves to achieve. But this one (George William Gordon Scholarship) is a big deal,” she admitted.
Crooks said she can retire now, having done her job as principal. | https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20220901/bogue-hill-primary-gets-first-government-scholarship | 2022-09-01T05:29:05Z | https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20220901/bogue-hill-primary-gets-first-government-scholarship | true | 1 |

Timmy Trumpet plays horn, Nimmo saves Mets in 2-1 win vs LAD
By MIKE FITZPATRICK
AP Baseball Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Brandon Nimmo saved Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets with a breathtaking catch atop the center-field fence, and Edwin Díaz entered to Timmy Trumpet’s live horn at pulsing Citi Field before closing out the Los Angeles Dodgers for a scintillating 2-1 victory. Starling Marte hit a two-run homer off All-Star lefty Tyler Anderson as the Mets evened a three-game showdown between the top two teams in the National League. Mookie Betts connected off deGrom for his 32nd home run, but it wasn’t enough for the Dodgers in a tight pitching duel with a playoff feel. Making his sixth start of the season after returning from injury, deGrom hit 102 mph on the radar gun and struck out nine in seven innings. He allowed three hits and walked one. | https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/08/31/timmy-trumpet-plays-horn-nimmo-saves-mets-in-2-1-win-vs-lad-2/ | 2022-09-01T05:37:53Z | https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/08/31/timmy-trumpet-plays-horn-nimmo-saves-mets-in-2-1-win-vs-lad-2/ | false | 7 |
ANAHEIM — The MVP showdown between Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge lived up to its billing.
A night after Judge put away a New York Yankees victory with a three-run homer, Ohtani delivered a three-run blast to give the Angels the lead in their 3-2 victory on Wednesday night before a sellout crowd of 43,555 at Angel Stadium.
Both players homered on Monday night, but Ohtani’s homer was a two-run blast and Judge hit a solo homer, so the Angels won by a run.
“It was going to come down to that,” Manager Phil Nevin said. “A game like this with these fans and the way the stadium was, one of the stars just rising right there.”
Ohtani’s 30th homer of the season added a line to his resume as he tried to defend his MVP award. The race between Ohtani and Judge has been on everyone’s mind with the two squaring off this week. Ohtani admitted he’s been thinking about it too.
“Definitely it leads to motivation for me to do better, trying to go for that hardware,” Ohtani said through his interpreter. “It’s something I think about. For the most part, I just take it game by game, at-bat by at-bat. At the end of the day, we’ll count it all up.”
Ohtani’s MVP chase is the most intriguing race the Angels have to think about now that they’re out of the race for the postseason, but their performance against contenders in the past week has nonetheless been encouraging. They took two of three from the Yankees after sweeping the Toronto Blue Jays in a three-game series. It’s the best baseball the Angels have played since before their season went to pieces with a 14-game losing streak in early June.
The latest victory certainly wasn’t created solely by Ohtani, even though he drove in all of their runs with one swing. Patrick Sandoval pitched seven dominant innings, and then José Quijada and Jimmy Herget worked the final two. Herget walked Judge and Giancarlo Stanton in the ninth before retiring the next three to end it.
The Angels were trailing the Yankees, and ace Gerrit Cole, 2-0 in the sixth. David Fletcher opened the inning with an infield single, and he took second on a bad throw by third baseman Josh Donaldson. Mike Trout then hit a routine grounder to shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who booted it.
Cole then fell behind Ohtani, 2-and-0, and he grooved a 97.9 mph fastball right over the heart of the plate.
Ohtani hammered it to straightaway center, and then he stood and admired the shot as it sailed into trees beyond the center field fence. The ball traveled 427 feet and left his bat at 107.3 mph.
Ohtani had barely missed a two-run homer in the first when center fielder Aaron Hicks robbed him with a leaping catch at the fence.
After Ohtani’s homer put the Angels ahead, Sandoval then returned to the mound and pitched a 1-2-3 shutdown inning, completing a brilliant seven-inning performance in a matchup of former Orange County high school pitching stars.
“Best stuff I’ve had all year,” Sandoval said. “The fastball was there and everything else played well off it.”
Sandoval gave up two runs on three hits, with two walks and seven strikeouts. He needed just 82 pitches. Sandoval mostly breezed through the Yankees’ lineup, with just a fifth-inning hiccup that wasn’t entirely his fault.
Through the first four, Sandoval struck out six and faced just one hitter over the minimum. Sandoval needed just 44 pitches to get through four, and an astounding 52% of them were swings and misses or called strikes. In the third inning, Sandoval struck out Andrew Benintendi, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton on 11 pitches.
In the fifth, Donaldson led off with a chopper down the third base line. Matt Duffy went to backhand the ball and it skipped under his glove, as Donaldson went into second with a double. Gleyber Torres then hit a fly ball to right center. Mike Trout didn’t get a good jump on the ball, and it landed just a few feet away from him, for a run-scoring double.
Neither play was routine, but both were makable.
The Yankees scored the second run of the inning when Torres scored on a deep fly ball from Hicks.
Sandoval then tacked on two more scoreless innings.
“Two months ago, a month ago, that fifth inning would have unraveled big time on him,” Nevin said. “But he stayed focused, and then even coming out for the sixth, it showed me a lot. He’s maturing right in front of our eyes. A young guy with that stuff. It was a heck of a game for him.”
Sandoval said he also had to give some credit to Ohtani for how he pitched.
“The home run helped a lot, brought a lot of energy for me personally, the dugout as well,” Sandoval said. “The guy brings a lot of value to this team. It’s ridiculous. His ERA is like 2-something (2.67) and he hit 30 bombs. Yeah, the guy’s a unicorn. It’s insane.”

During an interview aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. and U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman (D) responded to a question on why he turned down his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz’s invitation to debate and if the two will debate before the election by stating he’ll “engage” when the Oz campaign has “a serious conversation” but “right now, the fact that they have chosen to have a deeply unserious campaign to just ridicule somebody that is just recovering from a stroke.”
Host Stephanie Ruhle asked, “You turned down Dr. Oz’s invitation to debate. What made you come to that decision? And do you think you’ll debate him before the election?”
Fetterman responded, “Again, as I just said, this is just a sad approach at this point, because they’re trying to not focus on the condition of their campaign right now. And when they want to get into a serious conversation and really talk about having a debate, I’d be happy to engage in that. But right now, the fact that they have chosen to have a deeply unserious campaign to just ridicule somebody that is just recovering from a stroke.”

Democrat Mary Peltola defeated former U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin (R) in Alaska’s special election to fill its lone vacant congressional seat, despite not receiving more than 50 percent of the initial vote.
The special election to fill Don Young’s seat was the first election Alaska voters held since ending the two-party primary system in 2020.
Alaska voters approved Ballot Measure 2 by a margin of roughly 4,000 votes in 2020, bringing the state to a ranked-choice voting system whereby voters pick the top four candidates and rank them in order of one through four.
The special election’s results came 15 days after the state held its election on August 16, in line with the state’s deadline for election officials to receive absentee ballots from outside the country. After no candidate received more than 50 percent of the first round of votes, Alaska election officials went to ranked-choice tabulations.
Sarah Palin lost to a Democrat who lost in a landslide on the first ballot. Ranked-choice voting is garbage, but Democrats united around one candidate and Republicans didn’t. This is a timely reminder of the cost of being too precious. There’s a country to save. https://t.co/BKgXzspPum
— Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) September 1, 2022
During the first round of voting, Republican Nick Begich received 53,756 votes, Palin received 58,945, and Peltola, the only Democrat on the ballot, earned 75,761 votes.
After Begich came in last place in the first round, his votes were redistributed to Palin and Peltola, based on which candidate the voters identified as their second pick.
Unbelievable. Mary Peltola (D) has flipped the Republican-held congressional seat in #AKAL in round 2 of ranked-choice voting, netting 51.47% to Sarah Palin's 48.53%.
Peltola got 40.20% in the first round against Begich/Palin, which was just ~2.5% shy of Biden's 2020 vote share.
— Lakshya Jain (@lxeagle17) September 1, 2022
Of Begich’s 53,756 votes, 27,042 were transferred to Palin, and 15,445 went to Peltola. However, an additional 11,222 Begich votes were “exhausted,” meaning the voters failed to pick a second candidate. As a result, those more than 11,000 Alaska voters’ votes were not distributed in round 2, leaving them without a meaningful vote.
Palin is on record opposing the ranked-choice voting system. “I do not believe in this system. It should not be embraced by enthusiastic participation when we know it’s not right,” Palin said.
However, she insisted she would accept the outcome of the ranked-choice system.
“I’m not going to be a stinker about this. I respect the will of the people. I will certainly ask a lot of questions on behalf of Alaskans who are concerned, but I don’t have any intention of muddying the waters and crying foul if there is not obvious proof that anything was afoul,” Palin continued. “I’m not going to just accuse anybody of nefarious actions.”
Earlier this month, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) appeared to run away from a reporter’s question about her staff members’ involvement in Ballot Measure 2 after Project Veritas released a video in which her staffers reportedly admitted the ballot measure was put on the ballot because they “wanted Lisa to get re-elected.”

Peltola, who will take office until the midterm elections in November, will be the first Democrat to represent Alaska in Congress in 50 years. Peltola, Palin, and Begich will be on the ballot in the November midterms to see who will serve a full two-year term in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Mikel Arteta would 'welcome' deadline day Arsenal signing but already has forgotten man
ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta is chasing further reinforcements before the transfer deadline passes.
Arteta not getting carried away over Arsenal's early season form
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta would reportedly welcome a new central midfielder before the summer transfer deadline passes on Thursday night. But the Spaniard already has a forgotten new midfield player in the shape of Fabio Vieira, who joined the club from Porto this summer. And the Portuguese ace will be desperate to show Arteta exactly what he can do this season.
Arsenal shelled out £34million to prise Vieira away from his homeland in June. But the 22-year-old sustained a foot injury while playing for the Portugal under-21s just before his arrival in England. Vieira was named on the bench for Arsenal’s Premier League clashes with Bournemouth and Fulham last month but failed to make it onto the pitch amid a frustrating start to his career in north London.
According to Goal, Arteta has made it clear that he wants to complete more signings before the transfer window slams shut and is focused on boosting his options in the middle of the pitch. But cash is tight at the Emirates as the club have shelled out mega-money over the last two summer windows. And Vieira’s time in the limelight could be coming.
Vieira illustrated his prodigious talents in Portugal and bagged an impressive seven goals and 16 assists for Porto last season. He has also found the back of the net seven times in his last eight appearances for the Portugal under-21s and will be confident of contributing in front of goal when he is given a regular run in the Gunners team.
JUST IN: 'Disgrace' Pulisic enrages Chelsea fans as he storms down tunnel
Vieira’s lack of appearances during the early stages of the new season means he has been somewhat forgotten and has flown under the radar. He has unequivocally been overshadowed by former Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus, who has hit the ground running at the Emirates Stadium and has made a huge impression at his new club.
And Oleksandr Zinchenko, who also arrived from the Etihad Stadium, has received plenty of plaudits as well following a number of excellent performances during the early part of the season.

Vieira hasn’t had the chance to burst onto the scene in the capital. But he has a lot going for him and has plenty of time to impress, having penned a five-year deal at the club.
He’s dynamic and quick to press the ball so will ensure the Gunners are no pushovers. And he’s a menace in attack. So when Arteta decides the time is right to make the youngster an integral part of his side, the ex-Manchester City assistant manager could be handsomely rewarded.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The moment that the black wall telephone rang early on the morning of Sept. 29, 1978, in Stefania Falasca's Rome apartment is imprinted in her mind. Then 15, Falasca remembers her father answering and hearing the voice of her uncle, a priest who worked at the Vatican, coming through the receiver: “The pope is dead!”
“But he's already dead!” Falasca recalled her bewildered father exclaiming.
Like countless others around the globe, her father struggled to comprehend how 65-year-old John Paul I, elected as pontiff barely a month earlier — on Aug. 26, 1978 — could be dead, and confusedly first thought of Pope Paul VI, who had died in early August at age 80.
John Paul I, born Albino Luciani, is widely remembered more for his sudden, mystery-dogged death than for his life. Falasca, an Italian journalist for a Catholic publication, has toiled for more than a decade to change that and to convince the Vatican that he deserves to be a saint for how he lived his faith, as a priest, bishop, cardinal and, so briefly, as pontiff.
On Sunday, Pope Francis will beatify John Paul I, the last formal step before possible sainthood.
Formal efforts aimed at beatification can begin five years after a pontiff dies. For John Paul II, that rule was waived a few weeks after his death in 2005, in response to cries of “sainthood immediately!” rising up from the faithful during his funeral.
But it took 25 years for the beatification process for John Paul I to begin.
John Paul I “was a figure crushed between two pontificates,'' Falasca said, speaking down the block from St. Peter's Square. She was referring to his successor, John Paul II, one of history's longest-reigning popes, and his predecessor, Paul VI, whose 15-year papacy saw him preside over Vatican Council II with its modernizing reforms. Both have been made saints.
In Luciani's case, ”no historian was interested in the pope. Like he was passing briefly through time, forgotten," Falasca said.
But writers seeing a best-selling who-done-it were interested.
The abrupt demise of Luciani, whose body was found in his bedroom of the Apostolic Palace and who was dubbed the “smiling pope” for his cheerful countenance, spawned instant suspicions.
In the first hours after his death, the Vatican offered differing versions, first saying that a male secretary found him, then admitting that the pontiff was found lifeless by the nuns who bring his morning coffee.
“They could have immediately said that it was the nuns and it wouldn't have sparked any doubts, on the contrary, it would have given more guarantees,” Falasca said. One nun, Sister Vincenza, was well known to Luciani's family.
The nuns later recounted they were told by the Vatican not to say they found him out of concerns it would seem improper for a woman to enter the pope's bedroom.
At the same time, a monster financial scandal was growing involving an Italian bank that had links to the Vatican's own bank. There were murky ties between a U.S. born prelate, now deceased, who was chairman of the Vatican bank and an Italian financier, dubbed “God's Banker,'' whose body in 1982 was found hanging under a London bridge in what was ruled a homicide.
Was Luciani about to crack down on officials linked to the Holy See's secretive finances? Was he planning to root out corruption in Vatican bureaucracy?
"In God's Name: An Investigation into the Murder of Pope John Paul I,'' a 1984 book by David A. Yallop, sold millions of copies. The Vatican concluded that Luciani was felled by a heart attack, after suffering chest pains he played down just before going to bed his last night. But Yallop, noting that no autopsy was performed, concluded he was poisoned by plotters connected to a secret Masonic lodge with links to the Vatican and its bank.
In 1987, another British journalist, John Cornwell, came to the Vatican to research claims of apparitions of the Virgin Mary in what was then Yugoslavia. Instead, a Vatican bishop asked him to write the “truth” of John Paul I's death and promised him access to the pope's doctor, his embalmers and others.
Writing his own best-seller, “A Thief in the Night,” Cornwell concluded that Luciani had "died of neglect.''
“In the very heart of the Vatican, this was neglect that was psychological," Cornwell said in a phone interview from the English countryside. "They put too much work on him without proper help. They didn't look properly after his health."
"In other words, they had no respect for him, they thought he was a derisory pope, they said he was like Peter Sellers,'' Cornwell said, referring to the English comic actor who often played bumbling roles.
Cornwell said some people were disappointed he found no evidence of murder, including one bishop. “I came across people inside the Vatican who were convinced” there was a conspiracy to eliminate Luciani.
Falasca says John Paul I “is not being beatified because he was pope.”
“He lived with exemplary method, faith, hope, charity," she said. “He's a model for everyone, precisely because he had borne witness to the essential virtues."
John Paul I also broke molds, referring to himself as “I” in papal speeches, instead of the more impersonal traditional “we.”
“He was like a light breeze sweeping away centuries" of formalities, Falasca said. “His choice of being colloquial was a theological choice.”
She marveled that among his most cherished books was secular literature —by Mark Twain, Willa Cather and G.K. Chesterton, a British author famed for his character of a sleuthing priest.
For a Catholic to be beatified, the pope must approve a miracle attributed to prayerful intercession. In Luciani's case, that miracle was the medically unexplained recovery in 2011 of an 11-year-old girl hospitalized in Buenos Aires with brain inflammation and septic shock.
Her parents pleaded with a priest from a nearby parish to come. As he rushed to her bedside, the Rev. Juan Jose' Dabusti wondered to whom he should pray for her to live. Inspiration struck. He prayed to John Paul I.
But why invoke the name of a largely forgotten pontiff? Falasca said Dabusti told her that when he was 15, he heard the newly elected John Paul I speak and decided to become a priest himself, because Luciani was “very simple and very happy.” | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Crushed-by-2-papacies-John-Paul-I-s-death-17411880.php | 2022-09-01T06:27:47Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Crushed-by-2-papacies-John-Paul-I-s-death-17411880.php | true | 35 |
Thailand lures wealthy and talented foreigners with 10-year visa, tax breaks
Top professionals, eligible high net-worth individuals and retirees can start applying online from Thursday to stay for as long as 10 years in Thailand. The government has set the target of attracting one million wealthy or talented foreigners to the country over the next five years
Thailand, called the ‘Land of Smiles,’ is rolling out the red carpet for foreign workers, joining a bevy of countries looking to use the immigration route to boost their economies.
Top professionals, eligible high net-worth individuals and retirees can start applying online from Thursday to stay for as long as 10 years in Thailand, according to Chayotid Kridakon, an adviser to Thailand’s prime minister. The government has set the target of attracting one million wealthy or talented foreigners to the country over the next five years, he said at an event in Bangkok.
The new visa program, unveiled more than a year earlier and launched formally on Wednesday, seeks to build on post-pandemic efforts to welcome back visitors to the Southeast Asian nation, where tourism accounts for some 12% of gross domestic product. The move to tap remote talent, which mirrors steps by countries including Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, is seen helping add value to an economy that’s expected to grow 3.3% this year, the slowest pace in the region.
“The pandemic has disrupted workplace policies and introduced flexibility in terms of location as well as job scope, with few countries looking to capitalize on this shift by offering long-term residencies with attractive sops,” said Radhika Rao, an economist with DBS Bank Ltd. in Singapore. “Host countries also count on such arrivals to add to the talented labor pool in the country as well as boost the economy from incremental demand lift-off.”
The visa initiative can generate economic activities equivalent to about 1 trillion baht ($27 billion) annually by way of investment and purchase of properties by the new entrants, Chayotid said. The program will also help draw professionals to industries such as electric vehicles, smart electronics and digital technology that Thailand is focused on promoting, he said.
“The long-term resident visa program will help Thailand in the post-Covid economic recovery,” Duangjai Asawachintachit, secretary-general of Thailand’s Board of Investment, said Wednesday. “The validity period of LTR is the longest probably, and with so many expats working in Thailand for a long time, this meets a long-standing demand.”
The government is betting on a rebound in foreign tourist arrivals to power economic growth next year to 4.2%, which would be the fastest pace of expansion since 2018.
While wealthy expats living in Thailand already had access to a “pay to stay” visa program, the new initiative will spare professionals from dealing with one-year work, retirement or marriage permits that often require multiple trips to government offices, lawyers and fixed-deposits in local banks.
The Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce said the new visa regime will make Thailand an attractive place to work and buy a second home for global citizens.
“Work permit and visa has been the biggest obstacle for all investors in Thailand over a decade and LTR offers a solution,” said Vibeke Lyssand Leirvag, chairwoman of the Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce in Thailand. “If we do this right, the five-year one million target and one trillion baht domestic spending should be reachable.”
