White House leans on local leaders in fight for abortion access
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – As states across the country move to restrict abortion access, the White House is working to protect it.
President Joe Biden held a roundtable discussion on Friday with local leaders to talk about what comes next. During the discussion, leaders from across the country got to share their thoughts on reproductive rights with the president and his team.
White House Gender Policy Council official Jen Klein says getting to hear from them is an important part of the administration’s work.
“We’re hearing from state and local officials about what they’re seeing and the challenges that they’re facing and how the administration can help them,” Klein said.
Local leaders also say the conversations are critical as they partner with the Biden administration and each other to try to find creative ways to protect access to abortion in their states.
President Biden has already issued executive orders meant to ensure women can travel to receive and have privacy around reproductive health care.
Judge Lina Hidalgo from Harris County, Texas wants to see more federal action.
“My message to the president is we need help. We’re the last line of defense and right now we need support,” Hidalgo said. “In terms of funding for contraceptive care, in terms of support transporting women who need abortion out of state, fighting these laws in court.”
Durham, North Carolina Mayor Elaine O’Neal says cooperation with the federal government is crucial.
“It really has to be a coordinated effort,” O’Neal said.
Mount Vernon, New York Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard says states with abortion access have an important role in helping women in other states.
“We must provide a safe haven for them. We have to increase the access that’s available for those who have to cross state lines,” Patterson-Howard said.
Kansas State Sen. Dinah Sykes hopes her state’s recent vote to keep abortion rights in the Kansas Constitution serves as a powerful example.
“It’s going to take everyday citizens engaging so that we can right this ship,” Sykes said.
Ultimately, the president says the real solution is for voters to elect representatives that will pass federal abortion protections.

Maybe she meant to call her new album “1979.”
Taylor Swift has unveiled three additional album covers for her October release “Midnights,” each of which is being promised as only being available for the next seven days, as a pre-sale in both vinyl and CD formats. Even more than the more permanent cover that was revealed Sunday night, these album jackets very much look designed to evoke the 1970s, sometimes subtly, sometimes more blatantly. There’s the touch-tone phone. There’s the LP jacket on the floor. (Well, that one evokes the 2020s, too, but the reckless disregard for the treatment of a piece of vinyl, left loose to collect carpet debris, is very retro.)
And most of all, as a backdrop for not just all the cover images but the Swift webstore landing page, there is wood paneling. (It’s not just for vintage VHS porn anymore.)
One other recurring motif: Swift looks fairly sullen about being stuck in the ’70s. As those of us who lived through the decade can attest, this is actually period-appropriate. In one of the new cover images, she holds her hand up to her head, in a pose of Deep Fret. This may add grist for the tweeters who thought the verbiage in Swift’s initial rollout of the album concept Sunday night leaned toward the… dramatic. But the pose is self-knowing, maybe even tongue-in-cheek. As Swift vowed in the song “Lover”: “Swear to be overdramatic… and true!“
Careful Swiftie observers pointed out that the colors of the four vinyl variants that will be released — jade green, blood moon, mahogany and midnight blue — look suspiciously familiar. In fact, they correspond with the four colors on the “Meet me at midnight” clockface that Swift posted on her website last Sunday might between the MTV VMAs (where she first announced the existence of a completed new album) and the revelation of the title (which she saved for her own media an hour later).
Although Swift did not write or say anything in her own words in announcing the new variants, she did put out a TikTok video in which she playfully poses with the three additional covers. That led some fans to figure that the vinyl has already been manufactured in advance of the Oct. 21 release date, which would represent unusual efficiency even for Swift. But the flimsiness of the jackets she’s holding suggests they are mockups.
Between the fact that there are four vinyl editions (at least), four CD editions and a cassette to choose from, and that — unlike her other recent releases — everything will be arriving on the same date, even in the supply-chain-addled LP format, “Midnights” seems destined to establish just how much physical product can still be sold in one week, considering that some hardcore fans are already committing to buying all nine of the aforementioned packages.
With three out of four variants in the CD or LP formats only being sold for the next week, it brings to mind an old political phrase that may apply here, as fans are essentially being asked to “vote early and vote often.”
Sales for the vinyl may also outstrip those for past albums because not only is it being made available day-and-date, but being able to squeeze all 13 songs onto a single LP brings the price down from her recent spate of double albums, better for those impulse purchases … and because the marbled coloring of these vinyl editions is more alluring than the drab solid colors of her other recent vinyl releases.
Does Swift still have anything up her sleeve, packaging wise? For certain: the webstore description of the products promises that each of the variants will have a different photo on the back cover as well as the front.
So get your bonnet and basket ready, because with the contents of the music being as much of a mystery as the rear-jacket art, the next seven weeks are likely to be a nonstop Easter season for the faithful. | https://variety.com/2022/music/news/taylor-swift-midnights-more-album-covers-vinyl-color-variants-1235356563/ | 2022-09-01T06:39:56Z | https://variety.com/2022/music/news/taylor-swift-midnights-more-album-covers-vinyl-color-variants-1235356563/ | false | 1 |

Emily Ratajkowski’s street style is truly second to none – which is not surprising given her status as a fashion industry veteran. The model graced the streets of New York in a sleek black jumpsuit on Tuesday, adding another charming look to her ever-growing style archive.

The mother of one, who recently split from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, came out in the all-in-one piece that exuded workout-ready confidence. She paired it with some simple white Nike sneakers and a pair of cat-eye sunglasses.

Emily has impeccable street style
The jumpsuit is most typically associated with dance outfits and comes in the form of a jumpsuit or jumpsuit. Although initially practiced by athletes such as gymnasts, equestrians, figure skaters, acrobats, and circus performers, unitard slowly began to infiltrate mainstream pop culture and the celebrity world.
Dua Lipa is a fan of the divisive unitard
Music icons like Freddie Mercury had a penchant for the turtleneck jumpsuit – take his distinctive monochromatic harlequin leotard, for example. David Bowie was also partial to a play endorsed by Ziggy Stardust, as were Abba, Britney Spears and many other famous figures.
Singer Anne-Marie also sported the impressive one piece
The short silhouette jumpsuit, however, is a slightly rarer sight. The outfit was mostly seen in the festival scene, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its celebrity fan base.
In May, Dua Lipa took to Instagram to share a bold ensemble with fans online, which featured a knee-length shape and scalloped details. Singer Anne-Marie has also donned an orange knit mini jumpsuit from the label It-girl Poster Girl – which has been credited with re-establishing the jumpsuit’s coveted place in the fashion market.

MOSCOW, September 1. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin enjoys playing ice hockey, but he likes more to shoot the puck if compared to his skating skills, Canada’s legendary ice hockey player Phil Esposito told TASS.
"He is not that good of a skater, but he likes to shoot the puck," Esposito said. "I remember the guys saying that ‘you’ve got to move away from the president’ and I said ‘No, no, I’m going to go stick-by-stick to stop him from shooting, to lift his stick up and steal the puck from him, and he said Phil no, no. I did, and he smiled, and he laughed."
"I think it was great for Putin," to start playing ice hockey, Esposito continued. "I thought it was great that he goes on the ice."
"I didn’t play against him a lot, but I think it was [Alexey] Kasatonov, who said ‘Phil, let him go, let him shoot,’" the Canadian hockey star noted. "But I said, ‘Are you kidding if I’m out there I’m not going to allow it, if I can get the puck I’m going to take the puck, and he goes on ‘let him just shoot’ I said okay relax, I did a couple of times and a couple of times I’d hook the puck away from him."

S.Korea could raise concerns over U.S. EV subsidy changes this week
SEOUL, Sept 1 (Reuters) - South Korea might raise concerns over the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act's potential impact on its automakers at a meeting between the countries' top security advisers this week, Seoul's presidential office said on Thursday.
South Korea's national security adviser Kim Sung-han is slated for meetings in Hawaii with his U.S. and Japanese counterparts chiefly to coordinate their Indo Pacific policies amid flaring tensions between China and Taiwan.
The meeting comes amid growing concerns in South Korea over the Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law by U.S. President Joe Biden last month. Among other measures, the new law would halt subsidies for EVs made outside North America, which could hurt companies like Hyundai Motor Co and its affiliate Kia Corp.
A presidential official said the issue could be raised when Kim separately met U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
"I think it could be set as an item for bilateral talks to promote our national interests," the official told reporters.
South Korea's parliament passed a resolution expressing concern over the new EV rules, which have eliminated federal tax credits previously eligible for South Korean automakers' EVs in the United States.
The resolution called for the South Korean government to respond to the issue, saying the law was discriminatory.
Lee Do-hoon, a South Korean vice foreign minister, said on Tuesday that Seoul has asked Washington to postpone the new rules until Hyundai completes building its Georgia factory in 2025. Seoul officials have also said the law may violate a bilateral free trade agreement.

Watch: KJP Proves Just How Clueless WH Is on Border Crisis, Doocy Sets Her Straight
If Novak Djokovic wants to play in the U.S. Open, why doesn’t he just cross at the southern border?
Sure, tennis officials will likely notice that he’s showed up at the venue in Flushing Meadow, Queens. But maybe he can put on a fake mustache and play under a pseudonym. Say, Shnovak Bjokovick. Nobody’ll notice.
Alas, Djokovic didn’t think about this one. The Serbian tennis superstar will be absent from the final grand slam of 2022 because he isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19 — and even though the vaccines don’t necessarily stop one from getting COVID or from passing it on and even though a COVID test could easily determine whether he has the virus, the United States stipulates that all those who enter the country must get the jab.
Actually, let me correct that: All those who enter the country legally must get the jab. If you come over illegally, the government doesn’t give a hoot. That paradox was on full display during Monday’s White House media briefing, when Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy cornered White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre over the hypocrisy.
The question was straightforward enough: “How come migrants are allowed to come into this country unvaccinated, but world-class tennis players are not?”
If the White House position was defensible, the answer would have been straightforward, too. Lo and behold, the Notorious KJP’s answer was anything but.
“The U.S. government cannot discuss the details of individual visa cases,” she began.
“Due to privacy reasons, the U.S. government also does not comment on medical information of individual travelers as it relates to tennis player.”
Oh yeah: That’ll preserve his privacy.
Jean-Pierre also claimed that unvaccinated illegal immigrants and unvaccinated legal travelers were “two different things.”
Doocy continued to press: “Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane, you say that’s not OK. Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated, they’re allowed to stay?”
“That’s not how it works,” Jean-Pierre said. “It’s not like someone walks over.”
That’s actually exactly what’s happening. Or, as Doocy put it: “That’s exactly what is happening.” (Rational minds think alike, I suppose.)
“Thousands of people are walking in a day,” Doocy said. “Some of them turn themselves over. Some of them are caught. Tens of thousands a week are not. That is what is happening.”
The two also locked horns over Title 42, the public health policy invoked during the Trump administration which allows for the exclusion of some illegal immigrants. The policy doesn’t apply to child migrants.
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended it last month, the administration tried to end it in the spring. A court blocked the move, however.
“Why is there a CDC [vaccine] requirement for people that fly here as opposed to people who cross the southern border?” he asked.
“We have talked about Title 42,” Jean-Pierre replied. “There is a CDC provision for folks coming through the southern border. It is not just for tennis players.”
Yes, but the administration didn’t even want to continue the provision a few months ago — and furthermore, it’s still not applicable to everybody. One of the primary reasons the CDC decided to extend Title 42 is the fact the administration faced major blowback after reportedly releasing numerous migrants displaying COVID symptoms into communities.
“We’re releasing people out of the door day in and day out with actual positive tests for COVID and more keep popping up,” Chris Cabrera, a vice president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Fox News earlier this month. He also said illegal immigrants who don’t display symptoms aren’t even tested.
But let’s keep Djokovic out. That’ll solve the problem.
Alas, the U.S. Open started on Monday. Common sense hasn’t prevailed and Shnovak Bjokovick didn’t show up in a mustache for the first round of the men’s singles. If only he’d thought of crossing at the southern border. I mean, I know I’ve been assured that isn’t “how it works” by no less than Karine Jean-Pierre — but from all available evidence, that appears to be exactly how it works.

A 25-year-old Ghanaian has been sentenced to three years of federal probation, including eight months on home detention with electronic monitoring, and ordered to pay $156,073 in restitution for wire fraud.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Ganidekam admitted to his role in a romance fraud scheme.
From June 2019 until at least May 14, 2020, Ganidekam received approximately $189,404 from at least 14 victims who were convinced to send the money for a variety of false and fraudulent reasons.
The victims include a woman who in January and February 2020 sent thousands of dollars to a false persona she believed was her boyfriend.
Ganidekam admitted to receiving the fraudulent proceeds through his bank account in Ohio, where he lived at the time, via wire transfers and personal and cashier’s checks. Ganidekam further admitted to transferring a portion of these fraudulent proceeds to his bank account in Huntington, and to keeping some of the victims’ money for himself while forwarding some to others in the United States and abroad.
The United States Attorney Will Thompson made the announcement and commended the investigative work of the United States Secret Service, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-Office of Inspector General (FDIC-OIG), the West Virginia State Police, and the South Charleston Police Department.
United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence. Assistant United States Attorneys R.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI investigation into top-secret government information discovered at Mar-a-Lago is zeroing in on the question of whether former President Donald Trump’s team criminally obstructed the probe. A new document alleges that government records had been concealed and removed and that law enforcement officials were misled about what was still there.
The allegation does not necessarily mean that Trump or anyone else will ultimately face charges. But it could pose the most direct legal threat to Trump or those in his orbit, in part because the Justice Department has historically viewed obstruction as an aggravating factor that tilts in favor of bringing charges in investigations involving the mishandling of classified information.
“It goes to the heart of trying to suborn the very integrity of our criminal justice system,” said David Laufman, who once oversaw the same Justice Department counterintelligence section now responsible for the Mar-a-Lago investigation.
The latest Justice Department motion in the case is focused less on the removal last year of classified information from the White House to Mar-a-Lago and more on the events of this past spring. That’s when law enforcement officials tried — unsuccessfully — to get all documents back and were assured, falsely, that everything had been accounted for after a “diligent search.”
The Justice Department issued a grand jury subpoena in May for the records, and officials visited Mar-a-Lago on June 3 to collect them. When they got there, Tuesday’s department document says, they were handed by a Trump lawyer a “single Redweld envelope, double-wrapped in tape” containing documents.
A custodian for the records presented a sworn certification to the officials saying that “any and all responsive documents” to the subpoena had been located and produced. A Trump lawyer said that all records that had come from the White House had been held in one location — a storage room — and that there were none in any private space or other spot at the house.
But the FBI came to doubt the truth of those statements and obtained a search warrant to return on Aug. 8.
Officials had “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 new Justice Department filing says.
In their August search, agents found classified documents not only in the storage room but also in the former president’s office, including three classified documents in an office desk, according to the Justice Department. In some instances, the agents and attorneys conducting the review of seized documents required additional clearances since the material was so highly classified.
“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.
In its own filing Wednesday night, Trump’s lawyers decried the search as having taken place in “the midst of the standard give-and-take” between a former president and the National Archives and Records Administration over presidential records. It said the department had “gratuitously” made public certain information, including a photograph of classified documents taken from the home.
The Justice Department has stated in court filings that, besides investigating crimes related to the mishandling of national defense information and other documents, it is also looking into whether anyone committed obstruction.
It is not clear from Tuesday’s filing how much of that inquiry might center on Trump, who has repeatedly insisted that his team was cooperative with the FBI, as opposed to any of his lawyers or representatives who were directly involved in making the representations to the department. It’s also unclear what role Trump himself had in those representations.
Obstruction matters because it’s one of the factors investigators look for in weighing whether to bring charges. For instance, in his July 2016 announcement that the FBI would not be recommending criminal charges against Hillary Clinton in an investigation involving handling of her emails, FBI Director James Comey cited the absence of obstruction as one of the reasons.
When the Justice Department charged former CIA Director David Petraeus in 2015 with sharing classified information with his biographer, it made a point of including in court documents details about false statements prosecutors said he made during an FBI interview.
It is also not the first time that an obstruction investigation has surfaced in connection with Trump. Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigated whether Trump had obstructed an inquiry into whether his 2016 presidential campaign had colluded with Russia, and though Mueller did not recommend charges against the then-sitting president, he also pointedly declined to exonerate him.
In the current case, federal investigators are likely evaluating why Trump representatives provided statements about the status of classified information at Mar-a-Lago that proved easily contradicted by the evidence, as well as which individuals were involved in removing boxes and why.
Sarah Krissoff, a New York lawyer and former federal prosecutor, said the detailed information in this week’s filing tells its own tale.
“Reading between the lines of what they were saying here, it suggests that they had very direct information from a source regarding the location of classified documents within Mar-a-Lago and essentially the concealment of, or lack of cooperation with, the prior efforts to recover those documents,” she said.
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 to hear arguments on the matter Thursday.
Trump’s lawyers responded Wednesday night by saying that a special master was needed for the sake of fairness, asserting that “left unchecked, the DOJ will impugn, leak, and publicize selective aspects of their investigation.”
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.

Marching in lockstep, the Democrats pushed a $700 billion spending bill through Congress, claiming it would reduce inflation. We know that to be a lie.
Independent analyses from the Congressional Budget Office, the Congressional Joint Tax Committee, and Penn/Wharton all show the badly misnamed Inflation Reduction Act would do little to nothing to stop the rate of increase in the price of goods and services.
Instead, relying on the oft-quoted strategy of never letting a good crisis go to waste, the Democrats rammed through a pared-down version of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan that, to the disappointment of those who put him in office, had languished on Capitol Hill for more than a year.
Biden and the Democrats plan to spend the month of September traveling the country, trumpeting their achievement — which will be interesting to watch as no Democrat considered even remotely at risk of defeat seems to want to campaign with him. Yet the American people are not fooled. A recent NBC News poll found that 71 percent believe that if it does anything, the legislation will actually make things worse.
Inflation is still on everyone’s mind. A Rasmussen Reports survey released Monday found 85 percent of likely U.S. voters at least “somewhat concerned” about inflation, including 57 percent who are “very concerned.” That’s almost unchanged since May, the pollster reported. Nonetheless, the Democrats are already shifting gears, talking about the IRA’s caps on prescription drug prices and stimulation of America’s switch to green energy instead.
Let’s look at what’s wrong with it. One of the Democrats’ proudest boasts is that by 2030 the new law will bring down carbon emissions by 40% from where they were in 2005. What they don’t say is they’re already projected to drop by 30% over that period. Spending $370 billion to maybe gain an additional 10% reduction sounds like a bad deal because the reduction in global average temperature would be imperceptible.
The new law also contains provisions that will increase costs for working families, according to a release from the minority staff on the House Ways and Means Committee. Among them are a $25 billion crude oil tax and methane taxes on American energy that will disproportionately harm middle- and lower-income households by driving up the price of gasoline and traditional home heating and cooling.
When it’s cold, you can put on a sweater. When it’s beastly hot, is it fair to force working American families to choose between buying groceries and school supplies or turning on the A.C.? And that’s not even the most odious part of legislation Congress once again passed without knowing what was in it.
It makes things worse for working families in other ways. According to the Congressional Joint Tax Committee, more than 92 percent of households with incomes under $200,000 get no benefit or a tax hike. Median-income families earning $50,000-$75,000 are 33% more likely to get a tax hike than a tax cut. Families earning $75,000-$100,000 are four times more likely to get a tax hike, and families earning $100,000-$200,000 more than 10 times more likely to see their taxes go up
If they lose, who wins? The wealthiest Americans:
• The percentage of $1 million-plus households getting a tax cut (19.4%) is twice as high as any other income group.
• The group with the next highest proportion of tax cuts is those earning $500,000-$1 million.
• Over the long term, 72.5 percent of households with income over $1 million get a tax cut.
The claim drugs prices will come down fares no better. The scheme the new law imposed will increase new drugs’ launch price, according to the Congressional Budget Office. If new drugs cost more, you will pay more at the pharmacy and your health insurance premiums will rise, meaning new cures could be pushed out of reach for all but the wealthiest Americans.
From top to bottom, the Inflation Reduction Act is a budget buster, driving the federal government and the nation’s families deeper into debt. Under the guise of bringing prices down, the Democrats used their momentary monopoly on power to reward the special interests who help them get elected and their electoral base.
It’s a progressive political payoff, not the salvation of the American economy. | https://www.thedailytimes.com/opinion/peter-roff-inflation-reduction-act-will-make-things-worse/article_d9e9ba3c-294b-11ed-8f67-fbe01bd9c22f.html | 2022-09-01T07:31:15Z | https://www.thedailytimes.com/opinion/peter-roff-inflation-reduction-act-will-make-things-worse/article_d9e9ba3c-294b-11ed-8f67-fbe01bd9c22f.html | true | 10 |

Glen Kamara is wanted by Nice in a £10million deadline day deal from Rangers, according to a report.
The Ligue 1 outfit are believed to be desperate to land the midfielder ahead of tonight's deadline and that would see him reunite with former Light Blues team-mate Aaron Ramsey.The Finnish midfielder's representatives have been trying to thrash out a deal that would take the former Arsenal man to France, according to the Scottish Sun.
Nice are owned by English multi-billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe. They've been spending big this summer as they bid to reach the Champions League.

Sofiane Diop has arrived from league rivals Monaco in a big money deal already while Kasper Schmeichel and Nicolas Pepe have arrived from Leicester City and Arsenal. Wales international Ramsey - who had a spell at Rangers last term - joined after agreeing to end his deal with Italian giants Juventus.
Kamara arrived at the club for £50,000 from Dundee after already agreeing a switch to Ibrox on a pre-contract under Steven Gerrard. He quickly established himself as a key player under the now Aston Villa boss and attracting interest from a host of clubs.
Any deal would see the club make a huge profit on their initial investment, but Giovanni van Bronckhorst doesn't want to lose the 26-year-old, who has struggled for a regular starting place in his top team. So far this season the midfielder has appeared seven times in all competitions for the Ibrox men, providing one assist. He's under contract with Rangers until 2025.

ZHUHAI, China, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 1, 2022 community-driven technology brand Angry Miao is ready to shake up the audio industry with the release of their highly anticipated wireless CYBERBLADE earbuds on Kickstarter.
CYBERBLADE earbuds deliver 36ms ultra-low latency audio while ensuring a high-quality sound quality experience thanks to Angry Miao's revolutionary three-chip design.
These high-tech wireless earbuds retail for US$328, but Kickstarter customers can snag them for US$279 during the first 24 hours after launch and then for US$299 for the remainder of Angry Miao's Kickstarter campaign.
"Angry Miao CYBERBLADE is a radical product in a market otherwise plagued by uninteresting designs and lack of innovation, setting the tone for what role true wireless earbuds will play in the future." said Li Nan, CEO and founder of Angry Miao. "The Sci-Fi inspired design not only makes it stand out from the crowd, but it also embodies the advanced, tech-forward technology found inside. With the device's third chip located in its charging case, high-quality sound at low latency is no longer just a dream."
Sci-Fi Inspired Design
CYBERBLADE takes their inspiration from next-generation console Sci-Fi games and includes a distinct triangular design unique to Angry Miao.
The full CYBERBLADE experience also comes with customizable RGB lighting strips on the earbuds, charging case, and dock as an added design perk to suit the distinct tastes of each user.
Through the dedicated Angry Miao app, users can create their own personalized RGB lighting presets, as well as manage other functionality.
With all these unique design features, CYBERBLADE truly stands out from traditional earbuds on the market that offer little in the way of design to distinguish them from each other. It proves that earbuds don't need to be in the usual white color or have the usual boring shape.
CYBERBLADE customers can choose between three colors. The Shell Black earbuds feature an anodized aluminum alloy charging case that is accented through a specialized knurling process, improving its look and feel.
The Ghost White CYBERBLADE charging case is more gentle to the touch, in line with its lighter color scheme.
With its custom red lighting that flickers in the dark, The Dark Side is ready to wake the darkest in yours.
Revolutionary Triple-SoC
CYBERBLADE's distinct "third chip" solution brings the power of the audio industry's most advanced algorithms to wireless earbuds. Incorporated into the charging case, this third chip tackles one of the largest challenges currently found in true wireless earbuds: the balance between computing power and battery consumption.
CYBERBLADE provides an innovative solution by including an additional computational audio chip in the charging case, which fully liberates computational power from the constraints set by the limited battery power of wireless earbuds.
This added technology means CYBERBLADE wireless earbuds can offer Angry Miao Advanced Sound Enhancement (ASE) suite effects such as HRTF virtual 7.1, studio-level EQ and AGC, Hybrid ANC, Dual-Mic AI ENC, and transparency mode. Combined, they create CYBERBLADE's key feature – low latency – without sacrificing sound quality.
36ms Ultra Low Latency with Refined Sound
As expected from wireless earbuds, CYBERBLADE earbuds support the Bluetooth 5.2 protocol. When the charging case or dock is connected via USB to a digital audio output device such as PS4, PS5, PC, Mac, Switch or iPad, audio transmission will be performed through an efficient proprietary transmission protocol optimized by Angry Miao. Through this protocol, users can take advantage of low latency without experiencing a sacrifice in sound quality.
In other words, CYBERBLADE can be regarded as the TWS version of over-ear headsets with independent DSP and 2.4G transmission protocol, but the advantages of CYBERBLADE do not stop there.
Audio Boosters
CYBERBLADE earbuds are fully compatible with user needs in every audio scenario. With the third chip in the charging case and the powerful HRTF spatial audio algorithm, CYBERBLADE brings three audio enhancing modes in the form of Boosters, namely Gaming, Movie and Music. All that is needed to take advantage of these Boosters is a wired connection between the charging case or dock and an audio output device.
Turn on the Gaming Booster option to enhance your spatial awareness of footsteps and gunshots at 36ms ultra-low latency.
Switch to Movie Booster for Virtual 7.1 sound with improved spatial layering to enjoy a more immersive experience while watching movies or playing AAA games with iconic sound effects.
Music Booster brings studio-level EQ, DRC and AGC algorithms for an outstanding listening experience fine-tuned by industry experts.
In addition to the currently available Boosters Angry Miao is working together with Hip-Hop artist Rich Brian to create a specialized Hip-Hop Booster – opening the doors for more musicians and engineers to join Angry Miao in developing more enhanced algorithms.
With CYBERBLADE's strong computational power, these wireless earbuds are able to meet the personalized needs of each and every Angry Miao customer.
TWS Fundamentals As You Expect It
With all the attention paid to their futuristic design, don't worry – Angry Miao didn't forget about the basics like comfort, noise cancellation, and battery life.
One CYBERBLADE earbud weighs just 6.5g, and IPX4 water resistance is there for when you need it, which makes them light, convenient, and durable.
The earbuds' liquid silicone and Rohacell driver diaphragm vastly improve their vibration properties while also allowing for a strong bass, stable mids and ultra-transparent highs thanks to their light and rigid structure.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is supported by CYBERBLADE, with six microphones with a high signal-to-noise ratio that is built-in and ready to filter out over 35dB of noise. Advanced algorithms allow for more applicable scenarios, and in-call noise-canceling is also supported by Dual-Mic AI ENC technology. Transparency Mode is available for when you need to hear what's happening around you.
CYBERBLADE also offers a unique external knob that can be used to easily adjust the volume or switch the microphone on/off with a single click. Picking up calls while gaming is a breeze with CYBERBLADE – just switch to Bluetooth and start a voice call on your phone with a quick double click.
CYBERBLADE wireless earbuds go on sale September 1st, 2022, at 8am PDT via Kickstarter. Angry Miao believes CYBERBLADE is ready to shake up the true wireless stereo market, and redefine how wireless earbuds are used while listening to music, watching movies or gaming.

It has already sent the survey out to its members and is now broadening it out to all conveyancing firms. Companies will be asked what property information they use and accept, potential barriers to using alternatives to the TA6 Property Information Form, as well as the use of HM Land Registry Safe Harbour Standards, chain-view technology, and digital access to transfers and mortgage deeds.
The feedback is expected to support the association’s work especially regarding digital conveyancing and how information is provided during the process.
It will also ask firms to give their opinion on what the trade body should campaign for to support the wider profession.
Conveyancing firms are invited to fill out the survey by visiting: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/5ZMP3ZT
“A lot down the track for conveyancers”
Beth Rudolf, director of delivery at The Conveyancing Association, said: “We’re acutely aware there is a lot coming down the tracks for conveyancing firms to get their heads around and we want to ensure that we are pre-empting those changes, and helping make the process as smooth as possible for practitioners.
“We’ve already garnered the views of many CA member firms but these are issues that impact the entire industry, not just our members, and it’s therefore important to have a broad view of the current processes followed and the support for specific changes. We’d also like to understand what areas conveyancers want us to prioritise as the industry’s trade body, and we hope therefore that all firms will be able to take the time to fill in this short five-minute survey.” | https://www.mortgagesolutions.co.uk/news/2022/08/31/conveyancing-association-launches-consultation-on-industry-practices/ | 2022-09-01T07:51:31Z | https://www.mortgagesolutions.co.uk/news/2022/08/31/conveyancing-association-launches-consultation-on-industry-practices/ | true | 1 |

PHOENIX (AP) — Bailey Falter threw a career-high 6 1/3 innings before leaving with an injury, Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins both had three hits and the Philadelphia Phillies pummeled the Arizona Diamondbacks 18-2 on Wednesday night.
All nine starters in Philadelphia’s lineup had at least two hits, including Harper, Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, Alec Bohm, Rhys Hoskins, Jean Segura, Matt Vierling, Brandon Marsh and Edmundo Sosa. Marsh also had three hits, including a two-run triple and finished with three RBIs.
The Phillies sent 15 batters to the plate in a seven-run eighth inning. They finished with 22 hits.
Arizona had its season high five-game winning streak snapped. Catcher Carson Kelly pitched the final 1 1/3 innings.
It was a nice bounce-back performance for the Phillies, who had given up 25 runs in the first two games of the series and blew a 7-0 lead in Monday's opener. The left-handed Falter (3-3) was outstanding, giving up just one run on five hits before abruptly leaving the game with an athletic trainer because of right groin tightness.
Arizona rookie left-hander Tommy Henry (3-3) lasted just four innings, giving up seven runs and seven hits. He walked four and struck out four.
Jake McCarthy hit a solo homer for the D-backs in the fourth. Christian Walker and Stone Garrett both had two hits.
THE DREADED DOUBLE
D-backs shortstop Geraldo Perdomo was charged with two errors on one play in the first inning.
Perdomo bobbled a grounder to his backhand, which allowed Alec Bohm to reach first. Perdomo also had a wild throw to first, allowing Rhys Hoskins advance from second to third.
HONORING THOMAS
Lee Thomas, who was the Phillies GM from 1988 to 1997, died on Wednesday in St. Louis. He was 86.
Thomas was credited with building a Philadelphia team that won the NL pennant in 1993, acquiring players like John Kruk, Terry Mulholland, Curt Schilling, Lenny Dysktra, Milt Thompson and Danny Jackson.
Thomas also played eight seasons in the big leagues, highlighted by an All-Star season with the Los Angeles Angels in 1962.
UP NEXT
Phillies: Have a day off on Thursday before starting a three-game series at San Francisco. The Phillies will start RHP Kyle Gibson (9-5, 4.08 ERA) against San Francisco RHP Alex Cobb (4-6, 3.81)
Diamondbacks: Host a four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers beginning Thursday. Arizona RHP Merrill Kelly (11-5, 2.97) will start the opener against Milwaukee RHP Brandon Woodruff (9-3, 3.31).

New Delhi, Sep 01: The gross GST revenue collected in the month of August 2022 is Rs 1,43,612 crore of which CGST is Rs 24,710 crore, SGST is Rs 30,951 crore, IGST is Rs 77,782 crore (including Rs 42,067 crore collected on import of goods) and cess is Rs 10,168 crore (including Rs 1,018 crore collected on import of goods).
GST collection rises 28 per cent to Rs 1.43 lakh crore in August
The government has settled Rs 29,524 crore to CGST and Rs 25,119 crore to SGST from IGST. The total revenue of Centre and the States in the month of August 2022 after regular settlement is Rs 54,234 crore for CGST and Rs 56,070 crore for the SGST.
The revenues for the month of August 2022 are 28% higher than the GST revenues in the same month last year of Rs 1,12,020 crore. During the month, revenues from import of goods was 57% higher and the revenues from domestic transaction (including import of services) are 19% higher than the revenues from these sources during the same month last year.
For six months in a row now, the monthly GST revenues have been more than the Rs 1.4 lakh crore mark. The growth in GST revenue till August 2022 over the same period last year is 33%, continuing to display very high buoyancy. This is a clear impact of various measures taken by the Council in the past to ensure better compliance. Better reporting coupled with economic recovery has been having positive impact on the GST revenues on a consistent basis. During the month of July 2022, 7.6 crore e-way bills were generated, which was marginally higher than 7.4 crore in June 2022 and 19% higher than 6.4 crore in June 2021.

The global shift towards renewable power generation is well underway. Although two thirds of the world's electricity is still generated by fossil fuels, a huge transition is nevertheless taking place. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that by 2050, over 80% of the world's electricity will be renewable based.
However, if this goal is to be successfully reached it will require collaboration, innovation and openness between companies. No single company can navigate this massive change alone.
Sushil Purohit, President of Wärtsilä Energy, EVP Wärtsilä, recently discussed the path to net zero together with Heikki Vepsäläinen, President, Large Motors and Generators at ABB Motion, on ABB's "Industry Insights" series.
The discussion focused on how these two industry leaders are approaching the target to reach net zero, and the solutions being offered by the two companies to support the transformation. Both agreed that collaboration can create faster, more reliable and efficient ways to carbon-free electricity. In essence, the challenge is to build reliable and viable means for utilities, industries, and nations to maximise the use of renewable energy.
The future of the world at stake
Asked what personally motivates him, Sushil pointed to the fact that the world we will pass on to the next generation, should be in better shape than when we inherited it. Unfortunately, we have actually made it worse. "If we do not accelerate efforts to reach net zero, I'm afraid we will pass on a world that is no longer livable. That is what really drives me, because we are in a position to do something about this situation and to make a meaningful impact. And if we don't take that responsibility, I think we are not doing our job."
He went on to say: "The good news is that net zero, and having a 100% renewable power system, is not only possible, but is technically and commercially feasible with the technologies already available today."
There is a need to have and to implement a credible energy transition plan, and to ensure that the investments flow to the right place at the right time.
Solutions for efficiently transforming the industry
Climate change has long shown that we need to urgently transform the energy sector into including more flexible and sustainable power systems. The global events of the past few months have emphasised this need. The hope is that one day, the entire world will be powered by renewable energy.
But to achieve this, a major challenge must be overcome. That is to change the current energy infrastructure, upon which power systems have relied for decades, without disrupting the electricity supply.
"While moving towards 100% renewable energy system, we have to keep the lights on all the time, and at Wärtsilä we have been preparing for this for decades", Sushil explained. "We have developed accurate modeling capabilities for power systems, and this is enabling our customers to plan for a more optimised and future-proof energy mix in their systems".
This is how we build sustainability for the future; through excellent collaboration. In that way, we can create a better world for our future generations.
Sushil Purohit
Wärtsilä's power system modeling has been carried out for over 150 countries. In almost all cases, the survey points to a virtually identical transition path; what the results show is that countries must first invest heavily in renewable energy. Then they need to ensure that the power system has the flexibility to allow all this renewable energy to be utilised with optimal effectiveness.
Describing Wärtsilä's role in this, Sushil said: "Our job is then to develop market-leading technologies, including balancing power plants, energy storage systems, and solutions for life-cycle optimisation. These developments deliver the flexibility needed for large-scale introduction of renewables, and help our customers decarbonise faster. Going forward, we are working hard preparing for alternative sustainable fuels that will play a key role in achieving a green and clean future."
Collaboration creates market-leading opportunities
Making all this happen cannot be the job of one company alone. As Sushil explained during the conversation: "There's no silver bullet. We all need to work together to make change effective. Wärtsilä and ABB share a decade-long tradition of cooperation as two companies building energy-efficient solutions for a more sustainable world."
Right now, on a daily and weekly basis, the two companies are collaborating to create market-leading solutions that enable customers to accelerate decarbonisation.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Sushil noted: "I'm really excited with the partnering and collaborations that we have. I think what we see is Wärtsilä's expertise in system-optimisation and market-leading technology on the balancing side, and ABB's expertise in motors and generators. By combining our joint know-how, I think we can find really good solutions that will speed the journey towards decarbonisation."
These collaborative efforts can ultimately help lower electricity costs for consumers, while providing system reliability.

Apology Clip On Aamir Khan Productions' Social Media Handles Amid Laal Singh Chaddha Row Leaves Fans Perplexed
Amid the controversy surrounding Aamir Khan's last release Laal Singh Chaddha, a video which features an audio apology requesting for Michami Dukkadam - which roughly translates to 'may all my improper actions be inconsequential,' has been posted by Aamir Khan Productions on their Twitter and Instagram handles.
The video left fans confused and some even wondered if the social media handles on the production house have been hacked.
The video begins with the words 'Michami Dukkadam' written on a black background. While the theme song of Kal Ho Na Ho plays in the background, an unidentified voice is heard saying, "All of us are human beings and we only make mistakes. Sometimes through our words and sometimes by our actions, at times we do it without knowing and at times when we are angry. We also hurt people with our jokes and sometimes without talking. If I have hurt your feelings in any way ever then I ask for your forgiveness with my heart, promise and being."
The video garnered a lot of attention on social media. A netizen wrote, " For Sure!! Didn't expect this from Aamir...the voice ain't his." Another one commented, "Hack ho gaya kya account? Aamir can never put such a sub standard video. Itni ghatiya voiceover, itni ghatiya spellings. Moreover he would never copy an SRK song.
On the other hand, a Twitter user pointed out and wrote, "As always, every year, Aamir says Micchaami Dukkadam, the Jain sorry. This time, voiced -- by who?" A few even extended their support to the superstar. A fan wrote, "It's not like that sir.... It's just some misunderstandings on some very critical topics.... Please dont feel like that... I know how U are feeling right now... I just want to let you know you are worth alot...! Never give up!"
Speaking about Laal Singh Chaddha, the Aamir Khan-Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer delivered an underwhelming performance at the Indian box office in the wake of mixed reviews and boycott calls on social media.
A few reports in the media claimed that Aamir has taken a two-month break post the debacle of Laal Singh Chaddha and is currently in the US. Amid this, a picture of Aamir Khan posing with a fan in San Francisco recently surfaced on social media. | https://www.filmibeat.com/bollywood/news/2022/apology-clip-on-aamir-khan-productions-social-media-handles-amid-laal-singh-chaddha-row-leaves-fans-339818.html | 2022-09-01T08:08:31Z | https://www.filmibeat.com/bollywood/news/2022/apology-clip-on-aamir-khan-productions-social-media-handles-amid-laal-singh-chaddha-row-leaves-fans-339818.html | false | 1 |

The Grand Tour’s Richard Hammond expressed his surprise over James May’s ‘limbs’ still being intact after his high-speed crash took a horrifying turn while filming.
Earlier this month, the TV presenter was believed to be taking part in a dangerous drag-style race when the accident happened.
It was reported that James, Richard, and Jeremy Clarkson took turns to rally cars along a tunnel towards a rock wall while taking part in the challenge at a Norwegian naval base.
However, James hit his brakes too late, while driving at 75mph, and crashed into the wall.
After the ordeal, it was reported that the 59-year-old was given the all-clear, but was taken to hospital for a brain scan, as well as a broken rib.
Addressing the accident, Grand Tour co-star Richard branded the moment as a ‘singular lack of judgment on James’s part.’
‘He’s sort of held together with bits of cotton and sponge. So it was a hell of an impact. It’s pretty dramatic,’ he added to The Sun.
‘And I was surprised that all his limbs didn’t just fall off.’
James recently reassured fans that he was ‘perfectly OK’ following the incident.
‘Thank you for all your kind comments and funny jokes re my crash, but it was a while back, not that bad, and I’m perfectly OK,’ he said.
He then added: ‘Apologies to Evo fans for binning the VIII. #Bell**d.’
In 2006, Richard – who co-hosted BBC Two’s Top Gear from 2002 to 2015, alongside Clarkson and May – spent two weeks in a coma and sustained life changing brain injuries following a catastrophic car crash.
The near fatal accident happened while filming an episode of Top Gear at the RAF Elvington airfield near York.
He was driving at 317mph in a Vampire dragster – a jet-powered car that can reach up to 370mph – when the front tyre of the car unexpectedly failed. This caused the car to violently flip and roll.
Reflecting on his horrific incident, Richard revealed that he found it ‘very flattering that he [James] would consider that level of impersonation, but I’ll let him have that.’
The trio last thrilled fans with their Carnage a Trois – the second of their lockdown specials which launched in December 2021.
And now fans will see them head to the icy waters of the Scandinavian Arctic Circle.
A synopsis from the network reads: ‘The boys are finally back.
‘Strap yourselves in for a wild ride through Scandinavia with Clarkson, Hammond and May, as they take their favourite rally cars for a cold grand tour through “Europe’s last great wilderness.”’
Metro.co.uk has reached out to James May’s reps for comment.
The Grand Tour presents: A Scandi Flick launches on Prime Video on 16th September 2022.

Tomljanovic sets US Open clash with Serena Williams
Ajla Tomljanovic will face the retiring Serena Williams for the first time in her career after recording a come-from-behind victory at the US Open.
New York, USA, 1 September 2022 | Vivienne Christie
Ajla Tomljanovic has set a tantalising showdown with Serena Williams at the US Open, after a come-from-behind win in the second round.
The top-ranked Australian woman battled through a match of major momentum swings to overcome Evgeniya Rodina 1-6 6-2 7-5 in two-and-a-half hours.
Equalling her career-best-showing at Flushing Meadows with a second straight third-round showing, Tomljanovic will aim to again call on her composure when she faces the American great.
Following her hard-fought first-round win over Karolina Muchova, the world No.48 Tomljanovic required another gritty performance against a determined Rodina.
The 33-year-old was contesting her first event in three years, after becoming a mother to two children since her last tournament, on the grass courts of Eastbourne, in 2019.
Having utilised a protected ranking of world No.73 to enter the US Open, Rodina made a mockery of her unranked status as she upset the 27th-ranked Marina Trevisan in the US Open first round.
Rodina appeared on a similar course as she served for victory against Tomljanovic at 5-3 in the third set.
But Tomljanovic drew on recent career highlights – including a second straight quarterfinal at Wimbledon and an upset of top-five ranked Paula Badosa in Cincinnati – to win the final four games of the match.

Rodina had dominated earlier against Tomljanovic, opening with a service break, consolidating and gaining another break against the Australian to take a 3-0 lead.
She saved two break points to extend that lead to 4-0, before Tomljanovic finally made it on the scoreboard in the fifth game. But Rodina maintained control, converting her third break point to claim the opening set in 33 minutes.
A prompt turnaround appeared likely when a more clean-hitting Tomljanovic gained a double break of serve to take a 3-0 lead in the second set.
An extended medical timeout disrupted that momentum, Rodina leaving the court and returning with her upper right leg bandaged. It didn’t impact her tennis, with the 33-year-old gaining a break back.
It was the only blip for Tomljanovic, who steadily elevated her level to force a third set.
In a tense decider, Rodina gained a narrow advantage as the pair exchanged service breaks early on. Serving first provided an advantage for the Russian, who served for victory in the eighth game.
After gaining the break, Tomljanovic further asserted authority with a love hold. As her winner count grew at critical moments, she also drew errors from Rodina.
A first match point featured an epic rally, Rodina securing an on-the-line winner that had the world No.48 requesting a replay. A second match point was another extended rally, but this time Tomljanovic dominated to force a final error from Rodina.
Tomljanovic completed her victory with 32 total winners, compared to 16 from Rodina. She’ll aim to reduce her unforced count – a damaging 57 against 38 from the Russian – when she faces Williams for the first time.
Tomljanovic was the fourth Australian to claim a day three victory at Flushing Meadows. Jason Kubler completing his first-round victory, while Alex de Minaur and Nick Kyrgios also progressed to the third round.

NEW DELHI, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Planemaker Boeing Co BA.N expects Indian airlines to boost their capacity by at least 25% over the next year as demand rebounds quickly in the world's fastest-growing major market, an executive said on Thursday.
"We are forecasting airlines to rebound quickly and add 25-plus percent annual seats back into the market," Dave Schulte, the managing director for regional marketing at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, told reporters.
In the longer term, Boeing expects an annual capacity increase of 7% in India, outpacing other top high-growth markets, he added.
Indian skies are dominated by low-cost carriers (LCCs) including IndiGo INGL.NS, SpiceJet SPJT.NS, GoFirst and AirAsia India, with the majority of them operating Airbus AIR.PA narrowbody planes.
Boeing dominates India's widebody market but fare wars and high costs have led to casualties among full-service carriers, including Kingfisher Airlines in 2012 and Jet Airways JET.NS in 2019, making LCCs and Airbus even more dominant.
But India's newest budget carrier Akasa Air and new owners Tata and Sons at Air India and the Jalan-Kalrock consortium at Jet Airways are giving the U.S. planemaker hope of clawing back share in the Indian market as they eye more plane orders.
Akasa has 72 Boeing 737 MAX planes on order.
Boeing's biggest customer in India, SpiceJet, said on Wednesday it plans to induct more MAX planes in its fleet even as it struggles to make timely payments to vendors and lessors, prompting some of them to deregister and take back planes.
The loss-making airline has 155 MAX jets on order but has been slow in adding planes to its fleet even after the aircraft was cleared for flying by the country's aviation regulator last year following a global ban sparked by two deadly crashes.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia and Ukraine accused each other of waging attacks Thursday near Europe’s largest nuclear power plant just as a team of U.N. inspectors were heading to visit it despite the fighting.
A group of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, led by its director Rafael Grossi, set off for the Russia-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant despite the heavy shelling that led to an emergency system shutting down one of its reactors.
“There has been increased military activity, including this morning until very recently," Grossi said, adding that after being briefed by the Ukrainian military he decided to get moving despite the inherent risks. “But weighing the pros and cons and having come so far, we are not stopping.”
He noted that the risks are “very, very high” in the so-called grey zone between Ukrainian and Russian positions, but “we consider that we have the minimum conditions to move."
Zaporizhzhia, Europe's largest nuclear power plant, has been occupied by Russian forces but run by Ukrainian engineers since the early days of the 6-month-old war. Ukraine alleges Russia is using the plant as a shield, storing weapons there and launching attacks from around it, while Moscow accuses Ukraine of recklessly firing on the area, raising the threat of a nuclear disaster that may affect the entire continent.
Fighting in early March caused a brief fire at its training complex, and in recent days, the plant was temporarily knocked offline because of damage, heightening fears of a radiation leak or a reactor meltdown. Officials have begun distributing anti-radiation iodine tablets to nearby residents.
“We have a very important mission to accomplish,” Grossi said, adding that “we are going to start immediately an assessment of the security and the safety situation at the plant.”
"I am going to consider the possibility of establishing a continued presence of the IAEA at the plant, which we believe is indispensable to stabilize the situation and to get regular, reliable, impartial, neutral updates of what the situation is there,” he said.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukrainian forces unleashed an artillery barrage of the area and then sent a group of up to 60 scouts to try to seize control of the nuclear plant.
It said that the Ukrainian troops arrived in boats, landing three kilometers northeast of the plant on the left bank of the Dnieper River and tried to seize it. The ministry said that the Russian forces “took steps to destroy the enemy,” engaging warplanes.
“The provocation by the Kyiv regime is intended to derail the arrival of the IAEA’s group at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant,” the ministry said in a statement.
The Russia-installed administration of the city of Enerhodar just outside the plant said that at least three local residents were killed and one was injured early Thursday by the Ukrainian shelling.
Ukrainian authorities accused Russia of shelling Enerhodar and the territory of the nuclear power plant in a false flag attack intended to derail the arrival of the IAEA’s team.
“We are demanding that Russia stop provocations and offer the IAEA unhindered access to the Ukrainian nuclear facility,” said Zaporizhzhia Gov. Oleksandr Starukh.
Neither side's version of events could immediately be independently verified.
Ukraine’s Enerhoatom company that oversees the country’s nuclear power plants said that mortar shelling by the Russian forces led to the shutdown of one of its reactors by its emergency protection system
It added that the shelling also damaged a backup power supply line used for in-house needs, and one of the plant's reactors that wasn't operating was switched to diesel generators. | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/UN-inspectors-head-to-Ukraine-nuclear-plant-17411948.php | 2022-09-01T08:30:07Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/UN-inspectors-head-to-Ukraine-nuclear-plant-17411948.php | true | 11 |
Santam declares interim dividend, despite slump in half-year earnings
The insurer had to deal with floods in KZN, financial market volatility and inflationary pressures during the six months to end-June
Santam managed to declare an interim dividend despite a slump in half-year earnings driven by severe flooding in KwaZulu-Natal, financial market volatility and inflationary pressures that caused claim values to spike.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) fell 51% to 425c in the six months to end-June 2022 while headline earnings dropped 53% to R448m in the interim period, the Cape Town-headquartered short-term insurer said in a stock exchange filing on Thursday. Nevertheless, the group was able to declare an interim dividend of 462c, up from 432c in the previous half-year period...

Toledo Rockets Preview 2022: Previewing, predicting, and looking ahead to the Toledo season with what you need to know and keys to the season.

Toledo Rockets Preview
Head Coach: Jason Candle, 8th year at Toledo, 45-27
2021 Preview: Overall: 7-6, Conference: 5-3
Offense, Defense Breakdown | Keys To The Season
Season Prediction, What Will Happen
Toledo Top 10 Players | Toledo Schedule
Toledo Rockets Preview 2022
This program is so freaking frustrating.
Toledo should be working on the third or fourth MAC title under Jason Candle, and yet year after year there’s something missing.
Candled the Rockets got the job done in 2017 with a MAC Championship, but he’s had the best overall team for six years – seven if you include this season – and he has just the one appearance in the title game and the only bowl win came when he stepped in for Iowa State-bound Matt Campbell when first taking over the gig in 2015.
So let’s try this again. Toledo – who lost five games last year by a touchdown or less – has the best team in the MAC. The schedule isn’t easy, and there are things that need fixing – penalties, a more accurate passing game, penalties, and more penalties – but it’s all there.
The coaching is strong, the all-star veterans are in place, and a winning season and bowl appearance should be a mortal lock.
Now win the MAC Championship again, Toledo.
Toledo Rockets Preview 2022: Offense
The offense led the MAC in scoring averaging 33 points per game, rolled for 435 yards per game, and was the best in the nation at limiting the turnovers with just seven on the year. So of the key all-stars are gone, but …
Dequan Finn is a quarterback to build around. The young, efficient playmaker threw 18 touchdown passes with just two picks and ran for 505 yards and nine scores. He needs to be a bit more accurate, but he’s a dynamic winner to build around. It’s his team with Carter Bradley transferring to South Alabama.
The receiving corps loses leading yardage receiver Isaiah Winstead to East Carolina and leading touchdown catcher Matt Landers to Arkansas. Even so, Devin Maddox is a quick veteran who led the way with 41 catches for 521 yards and four scores. Finn spreads the ball around, but the O needs several young parts to step up fast.
The pass protection needs to be stronger, and there were too many tackles for loss allowed, but it’s going to be another great group for the running game even with two starters gone, helped by getting an all-star caliber blocker in Nick Rosi somewhere up front after missing last year hurt.
Losing 1,400-yard, 15 touchdown back Bryant Koback early to the NFL – he’s with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent – hurts, but Finn was the second-leading rusher, and smallish-speedy backs Jacquez Stuart and Micah Kelly are back after combining to average 5.4 yards per carry on their 564 yards.
Toledo Rockets Preview 2022: Defense
The defense had a few tough meltdowns, had a problem with penalties, and it didn’t come up with enough takeaways, but it managed to lead the MAC in scoring defense and was second overall allowing 350 yards and 22 points per game.
With eight returning starters and a slew of all-stars, expect more of the same, especially out of the pass rush.
The Rockets get back veteran Jamal Hines on the outside coming off his best season in his four years. He led the way with ten sacks, Desjuan Johnson was second on the team with 4.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss on the other side, and Dyontae Johnson was a force on the weakside.
As long as Jackson Barrow can handle the work in the middle after his 42-tackle season, this will be the best linebacking corps in the MAC by a mile.
The outside linebackers take care of the pass rush, but DT Judge Culpepper is a good interior presence in a next to 310-pound anchor Cavon Butler.
The secondary loses a few good pieces, but the safety combination of Maxen Hook and Nate Bauer will combine for close to 150 tackles again, and Quinyon Mitchell and Chris McDonald are two aggressive corners who can handle themselves. | https://collegefootballnews.com/2022/09/toledo-rockets-preview-2022-season-prediction-breakdown-key-games-players | 2022-09-01T08:37:36Z | https://collegefootballnews.com/2022/09/toledo-rockets-preview-2022-season-prediction-breakdown-key-games-players | false | 4 |
Daiga Grantiņa
Daiga Grantiņa’s works always give visceral pleasure. This was truer than ever in her recent show “Lauka telpa” (Field Space), curated by Zane Onckule at the historic Art Museum Riga Bourse. For her largest solo exhibition to date in her native Latvia, the Paris-based artist showed twelve large sculptures made over the past four years. Their elegance and scale—as well as their combination of mundane and unusual materials, textures, and colors—were immediately appealing. Her works are both present and withdrawn: They slip away from any attempt to pin them to meaning or reference. The sculpture that lent the show its title, dated 2019–22, is made of wood panels, fabric, ink, and silicone, and was accompanied by a light projection. As its deep-brown wood panels almost disappeared into the darkness and the beam on the black marble floor beside it produced an amorphous shadow, Field Space and its elusive presence seemed to offer a key to the whole show. This was a space in which we encountered shadows of thoughts, structures to grip color, something like an architecture of the unconscious.
Entering the dim, extravagantly ornamented hall with its walls of pinkish marble, arched ceiling, and lines of gray columns, one was greeted by Saules Suns (red), 2019, vertically shooting toward the ceiling and then arching downward. The intensity of its titular hue was striking, as was the work’s trunk-like structure, which reached out like a large tentacle. Smaller feelers were all around, translucent and soft on the edges of rigid wood panels in Queen, 2022. The wood structure stood firmly on the floor like an oversize corset decorated with a couple of thin lines of peacock feathers on each side. Tiny flat antennae graced the textile of the bright-orange Sarrasvati, 2020, which hung over the exhibition hall like a wing or a part of a roof, shielding the viewer in its warm color. Held together by a few wood shards, the work radiated ephemerality and the potential to shape-shift. Some of the sculptures, such as Swallows and Bride2, both 2022, resembled origami constructions one makes as a child: the paper fortune-teller sometimes called a cootie catcher and known in the Baltics as the “day night” game for its brightly colored exterior and dark interior. These seemingly rigid geometrical shapes were containers for color—hot orange, yellow, ink black—but each was softened by pleats of tissues or silicone, bringing fleshiness to structure. They also drew the room itself into their fold, as space itself became an invisible component that the sculptures encompassed.
Distinct from the other, more minimal works in the exhibition, Cloud Woman, 2022, unwound on a mirror pedestal like a baroque dress, feeling at home with the marble that surrounded it. Light pink and beige tulle fabric, resembling fleshy tissue and growing on the foam shell of the sculptural body, evokes vulnerability: The form seems too soft to be open like that. The exhibition’s sensual experience was accentuated by Polish composer Raphael Rogin´ski’s meditative guitar piece, which melded evocatively with Grantiņa’s sculptures. The alluring vibration of each work in the show was powerful enough to swallow the viewer and the space around them. | https://www.artforum.com/print/reviews/202207/daiga-granti-326-a-88949 | 2022-09-01T08:41:18Z | https://www.artforum.com/print/reviews/202207/daiga-granti-326-a-88949 | true | 1 |

In fresh trouble for TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, he was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the West Bengal coal scam case. He has been asked to appear before the ED at its Kolkata office on September 2, sources revealed. After the Diamond Harbour MP and his wife Rujira Banerjee had moved the Supreme Court in March challenging the ED summons asking them to appear in the national capital, the central agency was allowed to question them in Kolkata with a 24-hour notice.
On June 23, Rujira Banerjee was grilled by the ED about a few transactions made in a bank account in Bangkok. Moreover, sources also told Republic TV that 8 IPS officers of the West Bengal cadre were also summoned in this case. This list reportedly included Gyanwant Singh (ADG, Special Task Force), Koteswara Rao Nalavath [SP, (HQ) ACB], Shyam Singh (DIG, Civil Defence), S Selvamurugan (Purulia SP), Rajeev Mishra (ADG & IGP, Intelligence Branch), Tathagata Basu (SP, West Bengal Police Recruitment Board) and Bhaskar Mukherjee (Sunderban Police District SP).

Based on an FIR lodged by CBI in November 2020 which alleged a multi-crore coal pilferage scam related to Eastern Coalfields Ltd mines in West Bengal's Kunustoria and Kajora areas in and around Asansol, the ED registered a case under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Local coal operator Anup Majhi is believed to be the prime suspect in the case. So far, the Central agency has arrested TMC youth wing leader Vinay Mishra's brother Vikas Mishra and Bankura police station's former Inspector in-charge Ashok Kumar Mishra.
The ED has claimed that Majhi was running an illegal coal mining business smoothly by managing senior functionaries of a political party in West Bengal. Contending that Vinay Mishra is very close to Abhishek Banerjee, the central agency alleged that Majhi assisted in transferring substantial funds derived from the proceeds of crime to the Diamond Harbour MP’s wife and sister-in-law in London and Thailand. While Banerjee has been accused of being a beneficiary of funds obtained from the illegal coal mining business, he has denied all charges. | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/fresh-trouble-for-abhishek-banerjee-as-ed-summons-him-in-coal-scam-case-on-september-2-articleshow.html | 2022-09-01T08:43:12Z | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/fresh-trouble-for-abhishek-banerjee-as-ed-summons-him-in-coal-scam-case-on-september-2-articleshow.html | false | 1 |

Tuan Andrew Nguyen
Working primarily in film and sculpture, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, who is based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, seeks to give visibility and voice to displaced and marginalized communities, often through the use of what theorist Marianne Hirsch has called “testimonial objects,” i.e., physical repositories of memory that retain the agency to narrate these recollections. Tackling the lingering trauma of the Vietnam War, the centerpiece of this exhibition—which also featured a selection of sculptures and photographs—was The Unburied Sounds of a Troubled Horizon, 2022, a feature-length film shot in the central province of Quảng Trị, one of the most heavily bombed areas in the history of modern warfare. Its lush landscape is still studded with tons of unexploded ordnance that continues to claim lives and limbs. For Nguyen, this lethal quarry is a handy material metaphor that bears the traces of the otherwise invisible and ongoing psychological trauma of war; its “unburying,” while fraught with danger, is necessary for people to process their pain.
The film’s protagonist, Nguyet, runs a scrapyard and lives with her mom, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and haplessly mourns her long-dead husband and son. Scavenging and selling unexploded ammunition, Nguyet also compulsively transforms these residues of war into mobiles that bear an uncanny resemblance to the works of Alexander Calder. The film’s speculative premise is that she is the American artist reincarnated; it is also about Nguyet’s discovering the purpose and potential of the objects she makes, which, as compared to the shovels or planters into which shells are more commonly refashioned, initially appear to have no utility. (The reference to Calder reminds us of the artist’s principled antiwar position, expressed through both art and activism, a radical politics that became subjugated within canonical art-historical accounts to his aesthetic innovations.)
Nguyen’s films are the end products of a sustained process of contextual research and community dialogue. For Unburied Sounds, he skillfully weaves Nguyet’s fictional journey together with folklore, history, and testimony, with ghost stories and survivor accounts, enriching and complicating the work’s narrative arc. Nguyet’s aunt tells her about a village haunted by the mutually antagonistic spirits of two brothers who fought on opposing sides during the war, their bodies and souls never having been properly laid to rest. A young monk recounts the history of a nearby temple that was bombed in 1968; while one explosive destroyed the building’s front wall, another failed to detonate, sparing the lives of those within. The head monk, who interprets this functional failure not as mere happenstance but as an act of compassion and resistance—indeed, as a rejection by the device itself of its own destructive purpose—turns the artillery casing into a temple bell as a reminder of this empathetic gesture. The young monk has had it tuned to a frequency that scientific research shows helps heal those struggling with PTSD, which leads Nguyet to use her sculptures to ease her mother’s condition. Nguyet’s story also tragically intertwines with that of a character named Lai, a horribly maimed young man whose injuries are unequivocally not fictional. He plays her cousin, who in this tale as a child accidentally set off a series of cluster munitions, which claimed the life of Nguyet’s brother. Lai instructs children on the dangers of unexploded ordnance by telling his story, using his significant injuries as visual aids. Nguyet occasionally makes prostheses for Lai, and eventually replaces an earlier, scrappier, and more functional one with a shiny brass version that resembles the gesturing hands of a bodhisattva, transforming Lai from a mere survivor into a spiritual being.
Overall, Nguyen’s film is a poignant parable about art’s purpose and value. It suggests that, as both narrative and object, art can be an instrument of healing that aids in the processing of unfathomable loss. While this understanding is not entirely novel, especially in contexts where art’s links to spirituality and community have not yet been severed by capitalist spectacle and crass commodification, being reminded of it is useful. As a prosthesis of sorts, art can help return functionality to a traumatized body without simply burying the wounds it carries. | https://www.artforum.com/print/reviews/202207/tuan-andrew-nguyen-88923 | 2022-09-01T08:54:37Z | https://www.artforum.com/print/reviews/202207/tuan-andrew-nguyen-88923 | false | 1 |

New Zealand Legends will also join the tournament alongside India, Sri Lanka, Australia, West Indies, Bangladesh, and South Africa.
In a statement, Sports Minister Anurag Thakur said:
“I am sure the Road Safety World Series will drive social change and work as an ideal platform to influence people’s mind-set towards their behavior on the road and road safety.”

Dublin, Sept. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Regenerative Medicine For Cartilage Global Market Report 2022: By Treatment, By Treatment, By Site, By Application, By End-Use" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global regenerative medicine for cartilage market is expected to grow from $4.83 billion in 2021 to $5.26 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The market is expected to reach $7.03 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 7.5%.
Europe was the largest region in regenerative medicine for cartilage market in 2021. The regions covered in this report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, and Africa.
The growing incidence of osteoarthritis across the globe will drive the market for regenerative medicine for cartilage. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder that mostly attacks the articular cartilage. According to the Arthritis Foundation in 2019, degenerative joint disease disorders such as osteoarthritis will impact at least 130 million individuals around the globe by 2050. Some of the most commonly used treatments for osteoarthritis are autologous chondrocyte implantation and scaffold implants. Thus, the increasing incidence of osteoarthritis is expected to drive the demand for the market for regenerative medicine for cartilage.
The high cost of regenerative medicine therapies is one of the major factors limiting the growth of the market for regenerative medicine for cartilage. The average cost for knee replacement is around $4,500 to $8,400, while the average cost of cartilage repair procedures is around $18,000, depending on the country where the procedure is being performed. Such high prices discourage individuals to resort to cartilage repair therapies, and in turn, result in a lower preference for these procedures.
Tissue engineering and stem cell therapy are emerging trends in the regenerative medicine for cartilage market. The growth of tissue engineering technology has given hope for the regeneration of cartilage. Stem cell therapy is gaining attention with its advantages over traditional orthopedic treatments. Stem cell therapy helps to reduce knee pain and improves knee cartilage regeneration and repair. For instance, growth factors in the form of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy are injected to promote tissue regeneration effectively. Companies operating in the market are continuously focusing on introducing new technologies to survive in the regenerative medicine for cartilage market.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — 151 people had returned from Cambodia after falling victim to human trafficking and fraud rings, the government said Thursday (Sept. 1).
Over the past months, more than 4,600 Taiwanese had traveled to Cambodia but not returned, with about 300 estimated to have been lured to the poor Southeast Asian country with offers of high-paying jobs. Once arrived, they were forced to take part in telecom scam projects, and sometimes imprisoned, mistreated, and tortured.
Until Thursday, 151 Taiwanese had been freed and returned home with assistance from the private sector and from government offices, CNA reported. Cabinet Spokesman Lo Ping-cheng (羅秉成) said that the special government taskforce was not only helping the victims, but also actively tracking down the involvement of human smugglers inside Taiwan.
The authorities had detained 43 suspects in 53 cases, while a small minority of Taiwanese returned from Cambodia had been suspected of fraud ring membership, Lo said. He added that the government would continue its crackdown on telecom fraud schemes both inside and outside the country. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4644531 | 2022-09-01T09:01:41Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4644531 | true | 1 |

Minutes before entering the Council Chamber to be sworn in as acting chief of police for Cambridge, J.R. Todd shares a warm moment with his team. They straightened his name badge to get him ready for the ceremony.
CAMBRIDGE — City Manager Thomas Carroll swore in the new acting Chief of Cambridge Police J.R. (Justin) Todd on Aug. 30. He was surrounded by his team dressed in their blue uniforms. Todd’s family also came to the swearing-in ceremony and sat up front in the council chambers on 305 Gay Street.
Before the swearing in, several fellow officers waited for Todd and his family. Once on site, one of the policemen straightened Todd’s gold insignias on his uniform and then he was ready to go in.
As they walked in, the solemnity of the moment took on more gravity.
There was a big emphasis on family always having your back. Todd’s family was there dressed formally. They all sat together right in the middle.
“It is an honor to swear you in as acting chief. The goal is to run the department as he sees fit. If he does that in six months, we will have a quick swearing in. Drive it like you stole it, which is my mantra," Carroll quipped. "As a city manager, it is a weird thing to say to a police officer, because obviously you might catch people who have stolen a car."
Carroll added, "We are all here for a short period of time to do the job we were hired to do — to do it with passion as if you are here and have to do the job quickly, to do the job like you are in an urgent rush to do something, to drive it like you stole it.”
The chamber was filled with laughter. Before Todd was sworn in, he had a few words.
“It all begins with the family. I couldn’t do it without them. I wouldn’t be anywhere without family. My dad and those who passed away earlier. They are long gone, but I know they are watching over me. My wife Erica walked into the police world. The phone calls, the crazy hours and how we have to change up on a dime and switch things. Thank you to all my family. I am a blessed man. I won’t let you guys down. We are going to do some good things, and I am going to drive it like I stole it,” Todd said.
The oath began. Both the United States and Maryland Constitutions were mentioned. A handshake and applause followed the oath. And then it was picture time.
First the officers lined up for a group shot with Todd in the middle. One joked about doing a “Charlie’s Angels” pose.
Todd had the last word.
“Just the people surrounding me are the best. And it is an opportunity for the future. That is what I want to look for — the future, not past, not the present, but look to the future,” Todd said.
Todd, a native resident of Dorchester County, takes over the position from retiring Chief Mark Lewis.

Love Island’s Gemma Owen looks incredible in barely-there swimsuit
LOVE Island star Gemma Owen dazzled in a daring plunging swimsuit as she posed on a hotel balcony.
The Team GB dressage star, 19, who recently made things boyfriend-girlfriend official with Love Island partner Luca Bish, 23, oozed elegance in the stylish one-piece.
The costume featured a high rise hem hat sat high on her hips and scooped side panels.
Gemma paired her beach-ready look with black sunglasses and tied her locks into a high ponytail.
She accessorised with her gold Tiffany necklace - a feature fans picked up on in the Mallorca villa.
She flashed a sultry look to the camera as she draped her arm over the balcony, with a glistening swimming pool seen down below.
In her caption, she wrote: "A storm was brewing," referring to the huge dark clouds above.
One fan then gushed: "Wow doll 😍😍😍."
Another put: "Your body 😍😍🔥"
Earlier in the holiday, Gemma had roped in Luca to help model some of her swimwear line.
Most read in Love Island
The couple - who were runners-up on this summer's series of the ITV2 dating show - were seen lounging poolside in a sweet photo.
Gemma who is the proud owner of swimwear brand OG Beachwear, took to her business account with the photo of the pair.
The couple looked to have taken the snap on their recent holiday to Portugal, where Luca met Gemma's dad Michael for the first time.
It comes after Luca finally asked Gemma to be his girlfriend - with a massively lavish ceremony at her Welsh home.
Michael Owen's daughter, 19, was left gasping as she opened a mega-money bracelet in front of a pool strewn with flowers.
She was given the gift after being led down a corridor lined with dozens of rose petals and candles.
Gemma was shown looking overwhelmed as she opened the box in the sun in Portugal with Luca looking on.
She was later shown putting on the Juste Un Clou bracelet, which costs between £2,890 and £10,800 - depending on the model.
Stretched out over the waters were the words: "BE MY GIRLFRIEND" in huge red inflatable letters.
She then sprung to her feet and kissed him before a drone camera panned out to reveal the whole romantic scene.
The sweet moment was captured in a video to the tune of Why I Love You by American singer-songwriter Major. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tv/9390310/love-island-gemma-owen-instagram-swimsuit-holiday-luca/ | 2022-09-01T09:10:39Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tv/9390310/love-island-gemma-owen-instagram-swimsuit-holiday-luca/ | true | 3 |

Has the house price slowdown begun? Property inflation dips to 10%, says Nationwide, with the market 'losing momentum' as rate hikes bite
- House price growth slowed to 10% in August from 11% in July
- The average UK house now costs £273,751, a £50,000 rise in two years
- Nationwide's chief economist has warned of a market slowdown as demand falls
House price inflation slowed slightly in August but remains in double digits, despite the turbulent economic conditions and inflation and mortgage rate rises hitting buyers.
House prices were up 10 per cent in the year to August 2022, according to Nationwide's latest index, nudging down from the 11 per cent property inflation recorded in July.
But despite rapid mortgage rate rises and bigger bills hampering borrowers, house prices continued to rise - climbing 0.8 per cent over the month to take the cost of the average house from £271,209 to £273,751.
Coming off the boil? House prices rose 10% in the year to August 2022 but that was down from 11% in the year to July.
This was the thirteenth consecutive monthly increase and the average house price has risen by almost £50,000 in two years.
Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist, said the property market remained robust but was some of the steam was coming out of it.
He said: 'There are signs that the housing market is losing some momentum, with surveyors reporting fewer new buyer enquiries in recent months and the number of mortgage approvals for house purchases falling below pre-pandemic levels.
'However, the slowdown to date has been modest, and combined with a shortage of stock on the market, has meant that price growth has remained firm.'
Others expressed surprise at the continuing growth.
Andrew Montlake, managing director mortgage broker, Coreco, said : 'It's frankly mind-blowing that annual house price growth is still in double digits. However, with inflation and energy bills set to rise into the stratosphere, and rates also set to increase further, the property market will soon come back down to earth.
'The one constant in these times of extreme flux, of course, is the lack of supply and homes being built. The abject lack of good quality, affordable housing will support prices even as we go through an unprecedented cost of living crisis.'
House prices continue to rise, buoyed by the lack of housing supply and ongoing demand.
Tom Bill, head of UK Residential Research at Knight Frank says he doesn't expect to see 'cliff-edge' movement in prices, although growth will continue to soften into single digits but warns the political climate may impact pries further.
'Stewardship of the economy under the new Prime Minister is now the key risk facing the property market. If unemployment stays low, inflation remains relatively contained and we avoid the Bank of England's prediction of a recession lasting more than a year, prices should continue to rise modestly,' he added.
And while the slowdown may look hopeful for potential first time buyers rising prices have left the average house costing over seven times earnings, far above the long run average of 4.5 times.
The house price to earnings ratio continues to rise with prices now over 7 times average earnings, far above the long run average of 4.5.
Britain's biggest building society also warned that soaring energy costs will hit the least energy efficient homes the hardest over the coming months.
Gardner noted that Ofgem's price cap – which will increase 80 per cent from 1 October - applies to the unit price charged to consumers, rather than a maximum bill a household can be charged.
So, while a typical household is set to pay £3,549 a year, for some costs will be even higher.
Despite rising interest rates house prices have continued to rise in the UK but there are signs the market may be slowing down as mortgage approvals fall to pre-pandemic levels.
He added, 'We've looked at the impact of rising energy costs on average bills for properties with different energy efficiency ratings (as reported on energy performance certificates).
'Currently (based on the April 2022 price cap), the most energy efficient properties (those rated A-C) pay £1,700 per year, whilst the least efficient (those rated F-G) typically see bills over twice as high at c.£3,900 p.a.'

In a recent statement released by the current Russian Prime Minister, Mikhail Mishustin, said that the government sees digital assets or cryptocurrency as a safe alternative (future payment methods) in foreign trade. He also stated that digital assets could be used by Russia to strengthen its financial independence.
Government officials find digital assets as the next payment option
During a strategic session on developing the country’s financial system, the Russian Prime Minister stated that digital assets could also become an excellent alternative to traditional international settlements and facilitate payments for export and import orders.
In the recent statement he gave, the leader of the executive power in Moscow insisted that the Russian Fed must rapidly develop some innovative and safe areas, including using digital assets for their payment. He explained by saying that this could be a great alternative for all the parties and can guarantee them uninterrupted payment for the trade of goods from anywhere in the world. This could also build trust between countries and increase trade between them.
Russia’s dependency on the US dollar
Over the past few years, Russia has been massively dependent on the US dollar for a huge part of its transactions. However, over the last few months, Russia has been trying to find ways to reduce its dependency on the US dollar as a part of its new policy known as dedollarization. It is a very good step by Russia as it could help them to strengthen their financial independence and allow them to get rid of the US dollar.
While discussing the bill, the financial team of the Russian Law recently stated that the officials used to talk about crypto and discuss it as a next payment option even before the last sanctions were imposed on the ongoing war in Ukraine. Also, in late March, Mr. Mishutism revealed that a new law for digital currencies is being prepared by the Russian Government, which would regulate huge cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, Ethereum, and much more comprehensively. It could help Russia to have a better flow of digital assets in the country.
What are your thoughts as the Russian Prime Minister sees cryptocurrency as the future of payment methods? Will Russia’s dedollarization policy succeed after adopting digital assets as payment methods? Let us know in the comments below. And, if you found our content informative, share it with your family and friends.

After seeing the 30 agents sent to the past president’s home, many Americans like myself realize how desperate the establishment must be to keep President Trump from being re-elected in 2024.
Seeing the direction the country is going, we know it is not for the betterment of the citizens, therefore more people realize President Trump must be re-elected to continue to drain the swamp.
The American people no longer believe what we are told and what we read, knowing many of the elected officials no longer have the people’s interest as their top priority, as has been proven when the Democrats rule our United States federal government.

Risks of forever chemicals
Re “‘Forever chemicals’ called hazardous risk” (Aug. 27):
Matthew Daly’s article for the Associated Press failed to clearly address for readers whether there is any health issue with the use of the products manufactured with PFOA and PFOS chemicals, i.e., non-stick cookware. It has been my understanding that the EPA’s concern is with the storage and use of the chemicals, but not with the end use of the products. Your readers should be provided the full story.

The greens vs. common sense
Re “‘The Green war on clean energy” (Aug. 28):
I’m glad Zion Lights had her Paul on the road to Damascus moment. I suspect it is exhilarating and as such seductive to think one is saving the world. It reminds me of the joke about the post Vatican II joke about liturgists: “What’s the difference between a liturgist and a terrorist?”
“You can negotiate with a terrorist.”
I say it’s Davos kids with the bit in their teeth who think they are going to fight Mother Nature and win. Well, I don’t know how you tell her to keep the days sunny and the wind blowing 24-7. Davos’ foot soldiers are people who get high on the moral superiority of saving the world. Lord knows we are still reckoning with the edicts of Mary Nichols. Not to mention the looniness of sweaty pile urban planning and cattle car transportation as our betters tool around in their EVs.
It’s heartening to see that the rabid can have a moment of reflection. Hope springs eternal.

Bill Turnbull, who for 15 years woke up the nation as a presenter on the BBC Breakfast sofa, has died aged 66.
Across a four-decade career, he presented from the front line of British and foreign politics, as well as hosting an array of lighter gameshows and religious programmes.
William Robert Jolyon Turnbull was born on January 25 1956 in Guildford, Surrey.
Educated at Eton College, he attended the University of Edinburgh where he was editor of the student paper.
Turnbull started his broadcasting career at Scotland’s Radio Clyde in 1978.
He joined the BBC as a reporter for the Today programme in 1986 before becoming a correspondent for BBC’s Breakfast Time two years later.
Memorable stories he filed included the Lockerbie disaster in 1988 and the Romanian revolution of 1989.
In 1990, Turnbull became a correspondent for BBC News and reported from more than 30 countries.
During his four-year stint as the Washington correspondent, he covered the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the OJ Simpson trial and there was also a rain-drenched appearance on Breakfast during a hurricane in Florida.
After moving back to the UK in 1997, Turnbull became one of the main presenters on BBC News 24, as it was called back then.
He also worked for BBC Radio 5 Live, including presenting Weekend Breakfast.
Turnbull joined BBC Breakfast in 2001 as a presenter alongside Sian Williams.
They worked together until 2012 when Williams departed after the programme moved from London to Salford.
Celebrity fans including David Cameron, Frank Skinner and Miranda Hart sent farewell video messages to the presenter.
The former prime minister said: “Bill, throughout your career you have brought us the news from around the world, from war zones to the White House, but for the last 15 years we’ve been used to seeing you present from one iconic location – the BBC Breakfast sofa.
“Now the day has come for you to swap that sofa for a bed and those long-awaited lie-ins. So on behalf of all the people who are used to starting their day with you, thank you.”
During those 15 years, the nation had woken up to Turnbull’s calm, reassuring manner.
However, in July 2015 he made an embarrassing slip-up live on air.
The Guildford-born broadcaster appeared to say “c***” instead of “client” while referring to reaction to a public health story.
In a statement, the BBC said he had “unintentionally stumbled” over his words.
It was one of his most memorable moments on BBC Breakfast.
As a household name, Turnbull made numerous television appearances away from Breakfast.
He was a presenter on BBC One’s long-running Songs Of Praise.
In 2005, he competed as a contestant in the third series of Strictly Come Dancing. Partnered with Karen Hardy, he was the seventh celebrity voted off the show.
Turnbull also participated in ITV’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?; the BBC’s Celebrity Mastermind, Would I Lie To You?, Pointless Celebrities, Room 101 and Through The Keyhole, and he appeared in dictionary corner on Channel 4’s Countdown.
Arguably his most famous role came in a 2011 Doctor Who episode, The Wedding Of River Song, in which he played himself.
Turnbull’s passion for beekeeping led to the 2011 publication of his book The Bad Beekeepers Club, a humorous account of the ups and downs of the hobby.
In 2018, aged 63, he announced he had been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, and said he had been taking cannabidiol to tackle his symptoms.
Turnbull was filmed smoking cannabis with a vape for a Channel 4 documentary – Bill Turnbull: Staying Alive – following his attempts to find suitable treatment.
In his final years he presented a weekend radio show on Classic FM and appeared as a guest presenter on The One Show.
On a number of occasions in 2020 and 2021, Turnbull reunited with his former BBC Breakfast co-host Susanna Reid as a guest presenter on ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
The pair fronted Breakfast together until 2014, when Reid left to join ITV.
In October 2021 he announced he was taking “a leave of absence” from his weekend programme on Classic FM for “health reasons”.
The Wycombe Wanderers supporter was quoted on the club’s official website, from an interview with Prostate Cancer UK, as saying: “There’s a special atmosphere about Wycombe Wanderers because of where it is, such a lovely rural setting, and it’s small enough still to have that real club feeling about it where people do care about each other.”
He is survived by his wife Sarah, who he married in March 1988, and their three children. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/09/01/bill-turnbull-woke-up-the-nation-with-his-calm-reassuring-manner/ | 2022-09-01T09:44:02Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/09/01/bill-turnbull-woke-up-the-nation-with-his-calm-reassuring-manner/ | true | 8 |

On Wednesday, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced she will designate$10 million in executive capital outlay funding next year to develop a new clinic in Doña Ana County.
Lujan Grisham is directing the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration to designate the $10 million in the upcoming 2023 legislative session for the new clinic. The New Mexico Department of Health will also develop a plan to leverage state resources to expand access to reproductive healthcare, including abortion, to underserved areas of the state to increase access and decrease wait times at abortion clinics.
Lujan Grisham’s announcement was a part of her second executive order on reproductive healthcare since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in late June. The first order established that New Mexico would not cooperate with other state’s efforts to prosecute patients who travel to New Mexico and would protect providers who work in the state. The new clinic, in southern New Mexico, will offer the full spectrum of reproductive health care, including abortion, she said during a press conference.
The new order expands access to reproductive healthcare services at a time when providers and abortion funds are under strain due to an influx of patients from other states.
The order also directs the New Mexico Department of Human Services to improve efficiency and sustainability of access to reproductive health services.
“I think this will secure a robust partnership for investments by our state legislature and changes to state law that expand access,” Lujan Grisham said.
State Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Albuquerque, said during the press conference that bills are underway to further protect abortion in the state.
“We don’t have anything written at this point. But we’re looking to protect the safety and privacy of our providers, patients and supporters. We’re looking to exactly see how we can improve sexual and reproductive healthcare, infrastructure and education. So there’s still more that will be coming,” she said.
Lujan Grisham said that during listening sessions, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains determined in their own capital campaigns that $10 million would be “an adequate investment to get a clinic built.”
Lujan Grisham said that state capital investments require a public fiscal agent. She said that could be the county, the city or even one of the universities in the state. She said the state would then subcontract with a provider to operate a clinic in the new building.
“The goal here is build it and they will come and, as you know, some folks are already coming,” she said.
Former Mississippi clinic Pink House West has relocated to Las Cruces since abortion became illegal in that state. Other providers have said they intend to open clinics in Las Cruces, only about 45 miles from El Paso, in the future. Abortion is illegal in Texas.
During the press conference, Lujan Grisham introduced members of the New Mexico Commission on the Status of Women.
Lisa Curtis, the commisison’s chair, said the commission wants to support the exploration and creation of uncompensated care funds to help pay for abortion for those in need and futhur recommends a training pipeline for reproductive healthcare professionals, that “safety net” health care providers integrate early abortion care into their clinic settings, and that the state needs to protect patients and expand care, especially to rural areas where there is a dearth of healthcare.
Lujan Grisham said she’d been asked to create the executive order so the Legislature’s leadership “can react to that and make sure we’re all on track.”
Abortion roundtable
The governor’s announcement came on the same day that U.S. Rep. Melanie Stansbury, a Democrat who represents the state’s First Congressional District, held a reproductive roundtable in Albuquerque to hear from providers, abortion funds and other reproductive professionals about how overwhelming the need is for abortion care now that 17 states have banned or restricted abortion care.
Aine, an abortion fund representative who didn’t want to use her full name due to potential repercussions, said that since Texas banned abortion at six weeks nearly a year ago, providers in New Mexico have seen a 100 to 150 percent increase in patients.
But, when the court released the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Healthcare, which overturned Roe v. Wade, all support networks fell away, she said.
“There are no abortion funds in Texas [now]. We do have New Mexico abortion funds but [the lack in Texas] has created so many barriers for patients to make it to an appointment [in New Mexico],” she said.
Another reproductive advocate who didn’t want to be identified at all, said that since last fall, one abortion fund in the state has spent $700,000 providing money to help individuals obtain an abortion. The advocate said that in the previous two years, a New Mexico abortion fund spent $10,000 providing abortion funds to those who called seeking services.
The advocate said that since the court overturned Roe, airfare costs have increased and so have the costs of an abortion. The advocate said an early gestation abortion can be $450 while an abortion later in pregnancy can cost $15,000.
“We’re close to hitting a million dollars in abortion care,” the advocate said.
The advocate said that since Roe fell, white women “are just now feeling that sense of urgency.”
But the Hyde Amendment, a rider the U.S. Congress attaches to the federal budget every year, prohibits the use of federal dollars for abortion. This specifically impacts Indigenous people as well as members of the military.
“Roe is the bare minimum. It was never enough for Indigenous people, military people, undocumented and incarcerated people,” the advocate said.
Stansbury said “it’s been a very difficult, emotionally troubling year.”
Stansbury said that when the U.S. Senate voted on the Women’s Healthcare Protection Act, which would codify Roe, a caucus of LGBTQ+ and women members of the U.S. House of Representatives marched to the Senate chambers shouting “our bodies, our choice.”
“And someone from the Senate was sent out to tell us to be quiet. They were trying to silence us even within our nation’s capital. It was a chilling moment,” she said.
The House of Representatives have twice passed the Women’s Healthcare Protection Act but Senate Republicans have prevented it from reaching a vote in the Senate chamber.
Other concerns brought up during the reproductive roundtable included making abortion routine healthcare performed in a doctor’s office rather than separated out in abortion specific clinics. That would help to end the stigma, said Joan Lamunyon Sanford, executive director of New Mexico Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.
Marianna, another advocate who also did want to be further identified, emphasized the need for cultural competency in reproductive healthcare and when new clinics relocate from other states, the need for new clinic providers to be sensitive to the cultural needs of the New Mexico communities they serve.
Some of the advocates also brought up the need for privacy protection as an important issue, particularly since safety is an issue for providers and patients. | https://nmpoliticalreport.com/2022/09/01/guv-designates-10-million-for-new-clinic-in-dona-ana-county/ | 2022-09-01T09:51:32Z | https://nmpoliticalreport.com/2022/09/01/guv-designates-10-million-for-new-clinic-in-dona-ana-county/ | true | 1 |
India will launch its first ever self-developed vaccine for the prevention against cervical cancer. The vaccine will be launched in IIC Delhi by SII CEO Adar PoonawalA along with Jitendra Sigh Union Minister of Science and Technology.Also Read - In A First, India To Get Its Vaccine Against Cervical Cancer Tomorrow: Report
Speaking at the event, Singh said Covid has raised awareness about preventive healthcare leading to the development of vaccines like the one against cervical cancer. “The schemes like Ayushman Bharat have made us think about preventive healthcare and we can now afford it. The Department of Biotechnology has taken a lead in the matter and are in collaborative mode,” he said. Also Read - No Plans To Ban Chinese Phones Priced Below Rs 12,000: Union Minister
“Scientific efforts at times do not get the scale of recognition they deserve. So this event is to celebrate that scientific completion,” he said. CEO of the Serum Institute of India (SII) Adar Poonawalla, who was also present, told reporters on the sidelines of the event, “The cervical cancer vaccine will be affordable and would be available in the range of Rs 200-400. However, the final price is yet to be decided”. Also Read - Asia Cup 2022: Would Have Fancied My Chances Even If 15 Were Needed Off Final Over, Says Hardik Pandya
Poonawalla said the vaccine will be possibly launched by the end of the year. First the vaccine would be made available through the government channel and from next year onwards some private partners would be involved too, he said. Poonawalla also said that a plan to make 200 million doses is in place and first the vaccine would be given in India and only after that it will be exported to other countries.
Rajesh Gokhale, Department of Biotechnology Secretary, said over 2000 volunteers participated across the country for this vaccine. “Partnerships between private-public are becoming very important in such research, this co-creation is what is going to make all the difference in the world,” he said.
Dr N Kalaiselvi, Director General, CSIR said this is the first stepping stone and research in the field and it will further continue. “This government has taken the most amount of care to come up with this type of innovation, making us ‘atmanirbhar’,” she said.
According to the officials, the qHPV vaccine CERVAVAC has demonstrated robust antibody response that is nearly 1,000 times higher than the baseline against all targeted HPV types and in all dose and age groups. Cervical cancer in India ranks as the second most frequent cancer among women between 15 and 44 years of age.
The Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) had in July granted market authorisation to the SII to manufacture the vaccine against cervical cancer.

'This is rape:' Judge sentences Dublin prison chaplain to 7 years for sex abuses
OAKLAND, Calif. - A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced a former Dublin prison chaplain to seven years behind bars, calling his crimes "unspeakable" and dismissing his defense team's pleas to be lenient because he suffered PTSD as an Army veteran who suffered from "impulse control."
"This is rape," U.S. District Court Judge Haywood S. Gilliam Jr. told James Theodore Highhouse, 50, who wore jeans, Nike sneakers and an Under Armour T-shirt to his sentencing hearing in Oakland. "This was sustained predatory behavior against traumatized and defenseless women in prison."
Gilliam added: "There is a culture of rot at Dublin. It's important the world see this egregious conduct and see this serious penalty."
Highhouse stood with his hands folded at his waist, head down, most of the hearing. He was ordered to surrender on Nov. 2. He now lives in Oregon. When he is released, he must also register as a sex offender.
Before the judge decided his sentence, Highhouse spoke publicly for the first time since being charged with abusing his power as a chaplain at FCI Dublin, coercing women to have sex with him as they sought out his spiritual guidance.
"I ask for forgiveness," Highhouse said. "I want to express apology and regret to the victim and to the court."
Highhouse had no supporters who attended the hearing. His defense attorneys, Jaime Dorenbaum and Evan Haming, declined to speak after court.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Fara Gold had sought a 10-year sentence, pointing out that his crimes were much more serious than the legal punishment allows. She dismissed the fact that he was deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, suffered from depression and PTSD and was labeled clinically "disabled" as a result by Veteran's Affairs.
"You don't just get to bank credits" for good service in the military, Gold told the judge. "And you don't just get to cause trauma because you experienced it."
Highhouse's attorney asked that the judge to sentence him to two years in prison.
Highhouse had formally been charged with having sex with one woman, but prosecutors say he engaged in predatory conduct with at least six women from 2014 to 2019. He pleaded guilty on Feb. 23 to two counts of sexual abuse of a ward, two counts of abusive sexual contact and one count of making false statements to federal agents.
Likana, the woman at the center of his guilty plea, has since been deported to Thailand, Gold said in court.
In their victim impact statements, women described Highhouse dry humping them, offering his chaplain office as a sex den and telling them Bible stories to manipulate them into having sex. They often were called into his office to please him once a week.

Highhouse is the first of five officers at FCI Dublin to be sentenced in a sex scandal that has received national attention.
Enrique Chavez, a food service foreman, is expected to plead guilty on Sept. 14. Ross Klinger, a recycling technician, pleaded guilty in February but has yet to be sentenced.

The former warden, Ray J. Garcia, was recently charged with abusing two additional inmates, for a total of seven counts involving three victims. He pleaded not guilty to the initial charges against him and is scheduled to go on trial in November.
John Russell Bellhouse, a prison safety administrator, is scheduled to stand trial next June.
Gilliam, the judge, also expressed frustration that the sentencing guidelines weren't punitive enough to relay the "unspeakably serious" nature of the sex crimes.
The seven-year sentence was more than double the recommended punishment in federal sentencing guidelines, which call for a sentence of less than three years. Probation officers had recommended seven years.
"It’s hard to come up with the right words to describe how egregious an abuse of these victims this was," Gilliam said. "I can't think of a case where I varied upward. But this is that case."

When Michael Jennings went over to his out-of-town neighbors' house to water their plants, he thought he was just doing a simple, straightforward act of kindness.
But when Jennings, 56, saw that officers from Alabama's Childersburg Police Department had arrived, he knew that the situation would take a turn.
"When they first pulled up, I already knew that it was gonna be something," Jennings said in an interview with NPR.
A longtime pastor at Vision of Abundant Life Church in Sylacauga, Ala., Jennings recalls that, when the police arrived at his neighbors' house, he immediately noticed the officers' behavior.
"[The officer] parked around back and walked around front. And immediately, you could tell by the tone of his voice I was already guilty," he said.
Officers told Jennings they were responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle
Following the officers' arrival, Jennings was arrested and placed in the back of a police cruiser. He was later charged with obstructing government operations, according to a criminal complaint.
"I'm supposed to be here. I'm Pastor Jennings. I live across the street," Jennings told an officer, in newly released body camera footage of his arrest obtained by NPR.
During the 20-minute exchange caught on body camera on May 22, a Childersburg police officer approached Jennings; on camera, the pastor could be seen watering plants in his neighbors' yard.
As seen in the footage, an officer approached Jennings and asked him what he was doing — to which he replied, "Watering flowers."
The officer, who was not identified by authorities, asked Jennings if a car parked in the driveway belonged to him. Jennings responded, saying the car was his neighbor's.
Later, the officer told Jennings that the police were responding to a call involving a "suspicious vehicle" and a suspicious person that's "not supposed to be in the yard." The officer then asked Jennings for his identification.
"Who's saying that?" Jennings asked the officer.
"They called about it. ... I don't know," the officer responded.
The exchange between Jennings and the officer led to shouting, as Jennings told the officers that he had done nothing wrong. After about 10 minutes, Jennings was placed in handcuffs for not providing the officers with his identification.
Following Jennings' arrest and being placed in handcuffs, an unidentified neighbor — the same one who called authorities about Jennings being a "suspicious person" — told the police officers that she recognized him.
"He lives right there, and he would be watering their flowers. This is probably my fault," the neighbor told officers.
But despite the unidentified woman telling officers she indeed knew Jennings, he was still arrested and charged.
Jennings hopes change will come from his experience
While the charges against Jennings were later dismissed by a municipal judge in June, the pastor said he's never experienced anything like his arrest before — and hopes it's an experience nobody else will go through.
"I hope that there are changes, definitely changes, made — from the mayor's office and all through," Jennings said. "I hope to see changes from all over the municipality. Period. From the police department to the mayor's office, I think it needs to be changed."
The Childersburg Police Department did not respond to NPR's multiple emails for a request for comment on the incident.
"Our goal is obviously, justice for [Mr. Jennings] and the situation," said Bethaney Embry Jones, one of the attorneys representing Jennings, in an interview with NPR.
"Because he's a pastor, he has a congregation, he has a following and he has a name. And in this situation, his name was ruined," she added.
Alabama law states that any officer "may stop any person abroad in a public place" if they suspect that the person is committing or has committed a felony or another public offense — and can demand the person's name, address and an explanation of their actions.

Boozy Brits are notorious for overindulging in alcohol whilst on holiday - especially during trips abroad - with holidaymakers regularly sinking more than the weekly recommended amounts in just a single session. Research surprisingly discovered that women were the heaviest holiday drinkers.
The study by experts at private rehab clinic Delamere found 20 per cent of holidaymakers said they consumed two alcoholic drinks each day and 18 per cent reported drinking a total of three beverages. Shockingly, five per cent of those polled admitted to consuming eight alcoholic drinks per day while on holiday.
With the NHS stating that the absolute limit for weekly alcohol consumption should be ‘six pints of average-strength beer or 10 small glasses of low-strength wine’, it becomes evident that some UK tourists up their alcohol intake to harmful levels after landing in their favourite resorts.
This number becomes even more shocking when taking into account the fact that most ‘holiday drinks’ are likely to be a lot stronger than those served at home, with a lot of bartenders favouring free-pouring rather than measuring. After asking 2,000 people why they drank alcohol, it was revealed that 56 per cent of them wanted to feel ‘relaxed’.
Delaware founder and chief executive Martin Preston said: "Holidays have always been seen as a free-pass to over-consume as much as possible, with the mindset that normality would resume when the vacation was over. However, this could always be easier said than done, as a recent article highlighted that all-inclusive holidays were ‘on the rise’ since the end of the pandemic – suggesting that more people than ever are keen to take advantage of the excessive amount of booze on offer.
“While damage to the liver and actual liver failure, caused by alcohol consumption, usually takes years to have an effect, these kinds of issues can happen in a matter of weeks if extreme alcohol abuse is apparent. This highlights that drinking dangerous levels of alcohol on vacation can take on a significant amount of damage in a short space of time.”
Clinical director, Mike Delaney added: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that alcohol makes people feel happier. Studies have shown that drinking alcohol, despite it being a depressant, causes the brain to release more dopamine, which encourages pleasurable feelings to flow towards the reward centres in the brain.
“This then offers a sense of what could be seen as ‘faux happiness’, as the emotion has been brought on directly because of a substance. However, people need to keep drinking to top up this feeling, which promotes the likelihood of binge-drinking.” | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/boozy-brits-sink-more-recommended-24902289 | 2022-09-01T10:14:44Z | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/boozy-brits-sink-more-recommended-24902289 | false | 2 |
TV presenter and journalist Bill Turnbull has died at the age of 66, his family has said.
They said the BBC Breakfast presenter died “peacefully” at home in Suffolk on Wednesday after a “challenging and committed fight against prostate cancer” which had been diagnosed in November 2017.
His Breakfast co-presenter Susanna Reid wrote on Twitter: “Bill was the kindest, funniest, most generous man in the business. I feel lucky to have worked with him and he taught me everything. But above all, he was devoted to his family and I am heartbroken for them. RIP Bill. We will miss you so much.”
Turnbull, who appeared on the BBC1 show from 2001 until 2016, revealed the diagnosis in March 2018 and detailed his treatment in a Channel 4 documentary called Staying Alive.
In October last year he announced he was taking a leave of absence from his show on Classic FM for health reasons.
His family praised the treatment he had received at the Royal Marsden and Ipswich hospitals, St Elizabeth Hospice and his GP.
They added: “He was resolutely positive and was hugely buoyed by the support he received from friends, colleagues, and messages from people wishing him luck. It was a great comfort to Bill that so many more men are now testing earlier for this disease.
“Bill will be remembered by many as a remarkable broadcaster who brought warmth and humour into people’s homes on BBC Breakfast and Classic FM.
“He was also a devoted Wycombe Wanderers fan and an ever-aspiring beekeeper.
“Bill was a wonderful husband and father to his three children; his family and friends will miss how he always made them laugh, and the generosity and love he shared with those around him.”
He started his broadcast career at Scotland’s Radio Clyde in 1978, joining the BBC as a reporter for the Today programme in 1986 before becoming a reporter for BBC’s Breakfast Time two years later.
In 1990, Turnbull became a correspondent for BBC News and reported from more than 30 countries, with notable stories he covered including the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the OJ Simpson trial.
After moving back to the UK, he became one of the main presenters on BBC News 24, as it was called back then.
Turnbull also worked for BBC Radio 5 Live, including presenting Weekend Breakfast.
He joined BBC Breakfast in 2001 as a presenter alongside Sian Williams and they worked together until 2012 when she departed after the programme moved from London to Salford.
The presenter co-anchored alongside Susanna Reid, with the pair presenting together until 2014, when Reid left the show to join ITV, and Turnbull’s other co-hosts included Louise Minchin and more.
Recalling his most memorable moments from his breakfast career as he signed off from the red sofa in February 2016, he recalled “nearly getting into a fight with a ventriloquist’s dummy called Bob” and wearing a jumper made of dog hair.
“It was all right, it was just very warm and I couldn’t get the stuff off me for weeks,” he said.
He made numerous television appearances outside of BBC Breakfast, including as the presenter on BBC One’s Songs Of Praise.
In 2005, he competed as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing partnered with Karen Hardy, and was the seventh celebrity voted off the show.
Other TV appearances include ITV’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? and Through The Keyhole; the BBC’s Celebrity Mastermind, Would I Lie To You?, Pointless Celebrities and Room 101, and he appeared in the dictionary corner for Channel 4′s Countdown.
In 2011 he appeared in the Doctor Who episode The Wedding Of River Song in which he played himself.
His passion for beekeeping led to the 2011 publication of his book The Bad Beekeepers Club, a humorous account of the ups and downs of an apiarist. | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/09/01/broadcaster-bill-turnbull-dies-aged-66/ | 2022-09-01T10:19:01Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/09/01/broadcaster-bill-turnbull-dies-aged-66/ | false | 10 |

TDSM technologies will become essential as more DER resources are integrated onto a single grid system
BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Guidehouse Insights analyzes the transmission and distribution sensing and measurement (TDSM) market and discusses its vital role in creating a more balanced and technologically responsive electric grid.
The Energy Cloud transformation is expected to enable a two-way grid that is networked, distributed, clean, and intelligent. In this scenario, the electric grid no longer operates as a centralized system with unidirectional power flow; instead, it becomes a highly dynamic and digitalized energy ecosystem with customers at its center. To operate effectively, the grid must have accurate and real time sensing and measurement. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, global revenue from TDSM technologies is expected to grow from almost $4.5 billion in 2022 to $9.3 billion in 2031 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.
"As this transition to a bidirectional, decentralized grid occurs, utilities around the world will be upgrading their automation and monitoring capabilities across transmission and distribution," says Elizabeth Wilson, research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. "This will happen in all regions and for all utilities—including investor-owned, municipal, vertically integrated, and distribution system operators."
As the cost of TDSM technologies decreases and they become more accessible, more and more utilities will gravitate toward deploying them. They will become essential as more distributed energy resources (DER) resources are integrated onto a single grid system. These systems can effectively monitor T&D systems remotely, using AI. Additionally, as costs decrease for integrated technologies, less integrated, more expensive solutions such as phasor measurement units (PMUs) will decline globally, according to the report.
The report, Market Data: Transmission and Distribution Sensing and Measurement, addresses how transmission and distribution sensing and measurement are crucial for creating a more balanced and technologically responsive electric grid. This report breaks down regional TDSM growth and technological development and includes an outlook for the ten-year period 2022-2031. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

The father of a 16-year-old girl, who was shot at by a man in Delhi's Sangam Vihar area on August 25, narrated his ordeal and the horror that his family went through. The minor was shot at by Arman alias Amanat Ali for allegedly ghosting him online on social media. He was arrested by Delhi Police on Thursday.
"We used to tell our daughter Beta ghar pe rehna padega. My daughter used to ask me Papa kab tak. My daughter is really sacred after the incident," the father of the girl, Pankaj Mishra, told India Today.
"She is so sacred that she wakes up due to the sound of horns of vehicles. We have sent her to some other place. She is just 16 years old. How will she survive the bullet stuck in her shoulder?," Pankaj Mishra asked.
Amanat Ali along with his two aides shot at a 16-year-old girl on her way back from school in the Tigri area of South Delhi last month. The accused informed the police during an interrogation that he was unhappy because the girl ghosted him and stopped talking to him, following which he made a plan to kill her.
"Arman Ali had been in touch with her for the last two years through social media. She had not been talking to him for 4-5 months, but he was still stalking her," the girl told the police.

'NO ONE CAME TO HELP MY DAUGHTER'
Recalling the harrowing experience, the father said, "No one came forward to help my daughter when the crime took place. Onlookers stood as mute spectators and recorded the act. My wife was screaming and my daughter was crying."

Asked if the accused harassed his daughter prior to this, Pankaj Mishra said, "In the month of July, Ali and his aides attacked my house. I told the beat constable about this incident and the cop said he would take care of it and scold the man. But no further action was taken. My only mistake was that I did not file a complaint with the police. I even handed over the CCTV footage but nothing happened."
"Everyday I used to go to the police station and the arrest happened after seven days. The man stalked my daughter on Instagram and sent her messages and also at school. The man also created trouble for people in the neighbourhood," he said.

Ali had contacted two others, Bobby and Pawan, and the trio chased the girl down before Ali opened fire. The girl sustained gunshot injuries to her shoulder and is currently out of danger.
Bobby and Pawan were arrested following the incident. During interrogation, both accused said that the teen came in contact with the third accused, Arman Ali, two years ago through social media. She stopped talking to Ali some five to six months ago, which irked him. | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/delhi-news-sangam-vihar-stalker-shoots-girl-ghosting-online-instagram-1995193-2022-09-01?utm_source=rss | 2022-09-01T10:26:17Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/delhi-news-sangam-vihar-stalker-shoots-girl-ghosting-online-instagram-1995193-2022-09-01?utm_source=rss | false | 2 |

Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality (SPMRM) has been holding workshops to adapt its short term rental policy and the requirements of having a temporary use permit (TUP).
Currently, the municipality permits short term nightly rentals if the property is zoned for tourist accommodation (R1-A or RS-1A), or if the owners have a TUP.
Most TUPs are issued for a three-year period and can only be renewed once. Now that some TUPs are expiring, council has held three workshops to discuss options for next steps.
Council determined the best option is to allow TUPs to be renewed with additional conditions to the existing policy. SPMRM’s considerations were presented at an Aug. 16 council meeting, but council decided to continue the discussion before making final decisions.
An important point in the conversation is that the new Official Community Plan (OCP), which is on track to be completed by October, will rezone subdivisions closer to the village as tourist accommodation and other subdivisions further out as strictly residential use. The plan is for new homeowners to buy in certain areas depending on what their intended use of the property is.
For those who need a TUP, council suggested that expiring permits would require a full application for a new three-year TUP. SPMRM is also looking to increase the limit of TUPs per residential street or subdivision from 20 per cent to 25 per cent.
Additionally, council is considering amending the policy to require all new applications or renewals to have an owner or year-round tenant living on the property to act as a property manager.
The idea is that the onsite manager would be around to address any issues like noise or parking. This requirement would not apply to properties that have been previously zoned RS-1A.
Council is also considering implementing a “use it or lose it” principle, meaning properties would need to be available for nightly rental at least 60 per cent of the year or the TUP could be revoked.
SPMRM continues to have conversations to finalize the amendments and will bring their ideas forward again for approval at the next council meeting on September 6. | https://sunpeaksnews.com/municipality-considers-adjustments-to-short-term-rental-policy/ | 2022-09-01T10:27:40Z | https://sunpeaksnews.com/municipality-considers-adjustments-to-short-term-rental-policy/ | false | 1 |

Multiple landslides triggered by heavy rain blocked several roads across Sikkim, prompting the government to urge residents not to travel unless absolutely necessary, officials said on Thursday as reported by PTI.
The report stated that a massive landslide in 20 Mile area between Singtam and Rangpo in East Sikkim blocked National Highway 20 and cut off Gangtok.
This was the second time this week that the main highway connecting the Sikkim capital with Siliguri in West Bengal was blocked due to a landslide at the same spot in 20 Mile area.
Vehicles have been stranded on both sides of the landslide spot and alternate routes via Pakyong and Pandam have also been blocked at several locations due to multiple landslides.
East Sikkim district authorities said it may take some time to clear the landslide at 20 Mile as heavy rain has hampered the clearing process, and loose rocks are continuously falling on the road.
The Roads and Bridges Department issued an advisory asking people not to travel unless absolutely necessary since incessant rain has loosened rocks and cliffs, making them prone to landslides.
It said many roads have been damaged throughout the state and the department is working to restore road connectivity at the earliest. | https://www.pratidintime.com/national/sikkim-multiple-landslides-block-several-roads | 2022-09-01T10:35:49Z | https://www.pratidintime.com/national/sikkim-multiple-landslides-block-several-roads | false | 4 |
Authorities pursue motorcyclist in Orange County; chase ends in arrest
Authorities pursued a motorcyclist in Orange County Friday night in a dangerous chase that brought the rider – and at times, police vehicles – within inches of other cars.
The motorcyclist topped 100 miles per hour at times as they traveled south on the 5 Freeway through Anaheim and then into Garden Grove.
The motorcyclist led police through surface streets, weaving in and out of traffic and driving through parking lots.
After several close calls with other vehicles, the motorcyclist eventually stopped the bike in a residential neighborhood and was taken into custody.
Police have not yet released why they pursued the suspect.

Canton holds off Sioux Falls Christian in sloppy high school football season opener
Canton and Sioux Falls Christian managed to squeeze some big plays in between false start penalties on Friday, and the C-Hawks used an opportunistic and relentless defense to outlast the Chargers 27-20 at Bob Young Field in Sioux Falls. It was the season opener for both teams, and they both played like it.
That’s not to be insulting – both teams also made their share of big plays to provide plenty of highlights for the impressive crowd that was on hand. But the penalties and stoppages seemingly never ended, causing the game to drag on and making it hard for either squad to establish a rhythm.
Canton made enough plays to overcome those mistakes; the Chargers did not.
“A little guilty but good,” Canton coach Rich Lundstrom said when asked how it felt to escape with the win. “We have a lot of guys that have absolutely no experience, and we knew we’d have some growing pains. It’s mostly things we can work on and we’ll really work on it next week in practice, but I’m proud of ‘em.”
The biggest play of the game may have been the first one. Canton’s Cain Wallner took the opening kickoff through a crease and then down the right sideline for a 90-yard touchdown to give the C-Hawks a 7-0 lead and a tremendous spark to their season.
Though Christian would quickly answer with a 36-yard touchdown strike from Tayte Snyder to James Woodward and then take a 14-7 lead on a 6-yard run by Snyder, that special teams score bought the C-Hawks time to get their offense together. It was never especially pretty, but it was enough.
Canton scored 20 unanswered points across the second and third quarter, getting a 34-yard pass from Josh Merkle to Matt Anderson, a 1-yard plunge by Canaan McCracken and then a 2-yard rush from Beau Williams to make it 27-14. And Charger mistakes played heavily into the change in momentum. There was a interception while driving into C-Hawk territory, seemingly endless penalties, and then the big blow, a botched snap on a punt deep in their own territory, that gave Canton the ball at the 5-yard line to set up their final touchdown.
“We ran the ball well, did what we wanted to do, but the mistakes killed us,” said Chargers coach Jared Smith. “In the first half we had three or four false starts that were drive-killers. We had a fumble, a missed route that led to the pick. Give up a kickoff (for a touchdown). I feel like we should’ve won this game but you can’t make that many mistakes.”
Canton had some success running the ball with the committee of McCracken, Williams Tayten Aasheim and Kale Ask, while Merkle completed 7-of-10 passes. Wallner had two catches and a two-point conversion in addition to his kick return score.
Christian got back into it with an interception return for a touchdown by Brayden Witte, but the Chargers couldn’t put together a drive to equalize.
That was in part due to a C-Hawk defense that gave up some ground between the 20s and gave up some big plays early, but kept the Chargers off the board in the second half.
“Defense is where our experience is and it showed,” Lundstrom said. “They know what they’re doing and they played really well. We’re gonna have to lean on them until we get our offense going.”
Snyder threw for 116 yards and rushed for 106 for the Chargers. Woodward had three catches for 104 yards, but the penalties and turnovers were too much to overcome.
Smith sounded more disappointed – and surprised – than upset about the mistakes.
“It seems typical, wherever I’ve been in the first game or two you see a lot of those things, but I didn’t expect it from our guys,” Smith said. “We haven’t seen too much of that in practice or our scrimmages. But I’m proud of how our guys fought through it and overcame some of it. They didn’t pack it in.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2721595333677/canton-holds-off-sioux-falls-christian-in-sloppy-high-school-football-season-opener | 2022-09-01T10:46:02Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2721595333677/canton-holds-off-sioux-falls-christian-in-sloppy-high-school-football-season-opener | true | 2 |

Nick Kyrgios says his run to the Wimbledon final has inspired him to become “really professional” – although he admits it has also left him wondering “who I am”.
Kyrgios is through to the third round at the US Open after beating Benjamin Bonzi in four sets on Thursday, a match that saw him merge the sublime with the stupid.
Ad
The Australian played a brilliant first-set tie-break to seize control of the match, and responded well when his French opponent forced a fourth set, but he was also handed a code violation for spitting in the direction of his own player’s box.

'Disgraceful' - Kyrgios SPITS at his own box, yells 'you’re not a f***ing spectator'
WARNING: Strong language in below tweet
However, Kyrgios chose to focus on the positives in his post-match press conference and said his defeat to Novak Djokovic at SW19 has made him much more willing to give tennis his all.
“This year's been amazing in so many different ways. For my tennis, I kind of wanted to almost reinvent myself, get back to the top of the game where I know I belong," he said.
“The Wimbledon final was a turning point I think for me mentally. If I won that match, I don't know where my motivation would have been at. Losing it and being so close, it was really tough for me to kind of swallow that.
“Winning Washington, winning so many matches, I just feel like I thought the pressure would be off me after winning Wimbledon. He's a Wimbledon finalist, he's nearly-over-the-hump-type thing. For me, personally, I didn't think I'd be putting this amount of pressure on myself. Every day I come in, I watch what I eat, I try and get sleep. Like every practice session I try and have good intent.
“I almost don't know who I am anymore, to be honest, because that's not me. Trying to balance so many different things out. It's hard as well. The media, the fans are crazy everywhere I go. I'm trying to balance my personal life as well as my tennis. It's just a lot.
“I feel like I'm really professional right now. I never thought that the Wimbledon final would make me that way. I thought it would be the other way, the reverse, almost a bit lax and a bit chilled with it.
Kyrgios will next face American J.J. Wolf in the third round.

NEPOTISM is a thorny concept. There’s a good chance that if you are reading this and bristling ever-so-slightly at the mere mention of the word, you’ve experienced it at some point – and not in a beneficial way.
Perhaps you were passed up for promotion in favour of the boss’s son. Maybe you missed out on a leading role in the Christmas nativity play because a teacher gave the coveted part of Mary to her beloved goddaughter (casting you as the innkeeper/donkey/wise man #3 instead).
Celebrity nepotism has been in the spotlight lately. It comes on the back of a TikTok trend that sought to “expose” so-called Hollywood “nepo babies” – the offspring of the rich and famous – whose familial connections run deep throughout the entertainment industry.
The hashtag #nepobaby has garnered more than 38 million views across the social media platform, with a flurry of videos about models such as Lila Moss and Kaia Gerber, whose respective mothers Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford were 1990s supermodels.
Other examples include second-generation acting royalty and Stranger Things star Maya Hawke, who gets her thespian genes from Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke.
There is even a list of “fav nepo babies” with Dan Levy (the son of Eugene Levy), Dakota Johnson (whose parents are Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith) and Zoe Kravitz (the daughter of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz) ranking highly in the popularity stakes.
The pop culture podcast Shameless, hosted by Melbourne journalists Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews, recently did a segment on the “nepo baby” phenomenon.
It cited Hailey Bieber – married to popstar Justin Bieber and whose father Stephen hails from the famed Baldwin brothers acting dynasty – as a hugely likeable example of a “nepo baby” because “she is self-aware of the privilege that nepotism has afforded her”.
On the other side of the coin? Step forward Brooklyn Beckham who the Shameless podcast team savagely described as “the least self-aware person on the internet right now”.
They aren’t far wrong. If you like to dabble in the occasional bout of soul-salving schadenfreude, then chances are you will be familiar with the gripping saga of Beckham junior and his many career callings.
Not acquainted with the life and times of the oldest son of David and Victoria Beckham? Buckle up. You are in for a hell of a ride. We are talking about a young man who, at the age of 23, is fast racking up as many reinventions as Madonna, Prince and Cher combined.
To date, we have seen him dabble as a footballer, photographer and model. His latest foray: chef. Which is fair enough. Except Beckham’s regular Instagram posts showcasing his cooking prowess are often more reminiscent of a pie-eyed student making instant noodles at 3am than Le Cordon Bleu.
The perception of Beckham as utterly tone-deaf was further cemented in a video shot by Daniel Mac, a popular TikTok star who has amassed 12.9m followers by asking rich folks with fancy cars: “What do you do for a living?”
Cue Beckham idling in a £1 million red McLaren P1. When asked what he did for a living, instead of saying, “Oh, I’m the spoiled and incredibly privileged son of David and Victoria Beckham”, he replied – without a hint of irony – “I’m a chef”. Three words that will live rent-free in my head forever.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Stitch Fix, Inc. ("Stitch Fix" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SFIX) of a class action securities lawsuit.
CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Stitch Fix investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud. This lawsuit is on behalf of purchasers of Stitch Fix Class A common stock between December 8, 2020, and March 8, 2022, inclusive. Follow the link below to get more information and be contacted by a member of our team:
SFIX investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
CASE DETAILS: According to the filed complaint, Stitch Fix made numerous false and misleading statements to investors concerning the synergy between the Company's Fix and Freestyle programs, and repeatedly denied claims that the Freestyle program could cannibalize the Company's legacy Fix business. Specifically, Stitch Fix repeatedly assured investors that the Company's Freestyle business was "an additive experience" and "complementary" to the Fix business, that "the combination of those two things will allow us to address many more types of clients," and that "we see solid growth in both sides of the business." In truth, Stitch Fix concealed that these programs were not complementary or additive. Stitch Fix knew that the Freestyle program would be much preferred to the Company's original Fix model and that the Freestyle program would inevitably cannibalize the Company's legacy Fix business.
WHAT'S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Stitch Fix during the relevant time frame, you have until October 25, 2022 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

Two years after the smallest-yet-known reptile was discovered in Northern Madagascar, scientists probing the same region have discovered even more new cold-blooded friends: eight new species of minuscule geckos.
The animals are from the subgenus Domerguella, in the genus Lygodactylus, a group of diurnal geckos that mostly live in continental Africa and Madagascar. A team of researchers discovered the species hiding in the rainforests in the north of Madagascar, living on leaf litter and twigs in the undergrowth. Though only eight newly described species are introduced in the team’s research, published today in Zootaxa, the team suspects there may be as many as seventeen species in the subgenus hiding away in the island’s rainforests.
“Four different, closely related species that are almost indistinguishable to us, occurring together in the same place, apparently without interbreeding,” said Miguel Vences, a herpetologist at the Technische Universität Braunschweig and the lead author of the study, in a University of Copenhagen release. “This is remarkable, even for Madagascar.”
About 88 million years ago, Madagascar split from the Indian subcontinent as it drifted north towards Asia. In its isolation over the intervening millions of years, the island has developed an amazing breadth of biodiversity.
“The last few years have really been an exercise in realizing just how much we have underestimated the diversity of small, brown reptiles and amphibians in Madagascar,” said study co-author Mark Scherz, the curator of herpetology at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, in an email to Gizmodo. “These geckos are the latest piece in a long string of realizations, from tiny frogs, to tiny chameleons, and now tiny geckos.”
The largest of the newly described species is L. tantsaha, with a length of 1.36 inches from the animal’s nose to its vent. The smallest is L. fritzi, which is barely an inch from nose to vent. (For comparison, your little finger is about the same length of some of these lizards.) The lizards rely on their mottled brown scales to camouflage themselves from predators in the rainforest, like snakes and birds.
Last year, a team including Scherz found that there were actually three groups of Lygodactylus geckos, rather than one. The new paper brings the total of one of those groups (Domerguella) to 14 species, with several species still lacking descriptions due to sparse data. Exactly what caused these animals to genetically break off into different species is unclear.
“Potentially subtle niche differences may have caused them to be ecologically different from one another, but there may also be complex behavioral factors, like communication and pheromones, at play,” Scherz said. “Or, perhaps there was a time when they were isolated for long enough to separate into multiple species, and then came together afterwards and were distinct enough to co-exist.”
Because the animals are small, it’s harder for them to cover long distances. They’re also more likely to be separated by natural barriers, like rivers. That’s one possible reason for the differentiation between the animals—the reason that so many species of little things have cropped up on the island. | https://gizmodo.com/8-tiny-gecko-species-discovered-in-madagascar-1849478669 | 2022-09-01T11:17:35Z | https://gizmodo.com/8-tiny-gecko-species-discovered-in-madagascar-1849478669 | false | 2 |
Charles Wilson, former editor of The Times, dies aged 87
Charles Wilson, former editor of The Times, has died at the age of 87, friends of his family have said.
The former journalist and newspaper executive died on Wednesday night at The London Clinic following a brief illness.
A prominent figure in the media industry, Mr Wilson was born in Glasgow and first worked for the News Chronicle and the Daily Mail before editing the Glasgow Evening Times, The Glasgow Herald and the Scottish Sunday Standard.
He served as deputy editor of the Times from 1982 to 1985 before becoming editor between 1985 and 1990.
He also edited the Independent briefly in 1995 and 1996.
Mr Wilson was managing director of the Mirror Group in the 1990s and editor-in-chief of The Sporting Life.
Charlie Wilson played a pivotal role in the pre and post-Wapping history of newspapers. He had a simply amazing career for a young man who began life in the streets of the east end of Glasgow
He had a lifelong interest in horse racing and was a member of the Jockey Club and an owner and breeder at his home in Leicestershire.
Former sports editor Tom Clarke was among those paying tribute.
He said: “Charlie was a special hero for me. He hired me for The Times and later for The Sporting Life.
“I regarded him as a great editor, transforming The Times from the paper of record into the paper of record and news. He was the first sports editor to become an editor.”
Friend and colleague Charles Garside said: “Charlie Wilson played a pivotal role in the pre and post-Wapping history of newspapers.
“He had a simply amazing career for a young man who began life in the streets of the east end of Glasgow.
“A former marine boxing champion, he was a tough taskmaster who loved journalism and newspapers.
“And he had more than a ringside seat for so many great events.
“He worked closely with Rupert Murdoch through the Wapping battles and for Maxwell when the Mirror tycoon disappeared from the Lady Ghislaine.”
Mr Wilson is survived by his wife of 21 years, Rachel, his three children, Emma, Luke and Lily and seven grandchildren.
He was previously married to broadcaster and TV presenter Anne Robinson and journalist Sally O’Sullivan.
There will be a private family funeral followed by a memorial service at St Bride’s Church on Fleet Street on a date to be announced.

Erling Haaland breaks Premier League goalscoring record in 6-0 City thrashing with second hat-trick in week
By Ben Morse, CNN
Famed for being a tough league to adapt to, Erling Haaland is taking to the Premier League like a duck to water.
After scoring his first hat-trick for Manchester City at the weekend — in its 4-2 win over Crystal Palace — having joined from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, Haaland repeated the feat on Wednesday night.
It took the Norwegian striker just 26 minutes between his first and third goal in the first half to complete the feat, as City romped to a 6-0 win over newly-promoted Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium.
It means that Haaland has now scored a remarkable nine goals in his first five Premier League appearances, breaking the previous record of eight set by Mick Quinn and City’s all-time top goalscorer, Sergio Agüero.
Afterwards, Haaland hailed his teammates and the impact they’ve had on his game, calling the team’s performance “amazing.”
“It was about keep doing what we did in the second half against Crystal Palace,” he said.
“Play, play, play and we knew we’d get the chances and we did that. It was nice. It’s been good so far, I’m not complaining!
“I try to listen as much as I can to Pep [Guardiola] and the boys. They’re amazing footballers, without them, I can’t score goals. It’s about finding the chemistry and to listen to Guardiola.
“It’s fantastic. That’s why I came here. We play so good, we find each other, it’s going to be nice.”
After the game, manager Pep Guardiola was asked if Haaland could break Agüero’s club record of 260 goals.
“Sergio is the legend. Nobody can break the position in the hearts of City fans, scoring the most important goal in the modern history of the club,” Guardiola said.
“Erling has the quality to be there. What Sergio has done is amazing. But Erling has this talent. Hopefully, he can enjoy and score more goals. Knowing him a little bit, I don’t know if he’d be happy breaking records if we didn’t win titles.”
‘This guy is special’
Besides Haaland’s ruthlessness in front of goal, the evening will be remembered for a breakout game for another City forward.
Following Haaland’s quick-fire hat-trick and João Cancelo’s first goal of the season, it became all about Julián Álvarez’s coming out party.
The Argentine forward, making his first Premier League start since joining from River Plate, scored twice against Forest; first, rifling low under goalkeeper Dean Henderson and then smashing home his second in the final few minutes.
After the game, Guardiola was full of praise for his two new additions up front, calling Álvarez “special.”
“I had the feeling that there is not one person in the locker room who is not happy for the two goals (he scored). Erling is highlighted, Erling deserves everything,” Guardiola explained.
“But, from day one, we have seen Julián in the locker room and training. We have an incredible opinion (of him). Our scout in South America — Joan Patsy — told me for a year and a half ago – this guy is special. He has scored a lot of goals in a team like River Plate that have an incredible pressure to win.
“He was educated by Gallardo and now we are enjoying him. Erling is our first No. 9, but in games where teams defend deep, to have the two guys there with an incredible smell to score goals is so important. Julián deserves everything. The work ethic always pays off.
“Julián came from Argentina, but in the first game against Club America, I said this guy will be good for us. We have seen in training how he is doing. In the first half (today), he struggled; the second half was better, and you saw the goals.
“He is so precise. Both he and Erling are incredible strikers. When the ball is around the area, they are incredible finishers.”
