NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RoboKiller, the app that eliminates 99% of robocalls and robotexts, identified that Americans received 10.8 billion robotexts in August, a 9% decrease from a month earlier. Interestingly, robocalls increased by 12% to 7.4 billion.
Robotexts declined for the first time since April 2022
Robotexts have far outpaced robocalls since the beginning of 2022. However, for the first time since April 2022, they declined month-over-month. While it appears scammers pumped the brakes in August, Americans can expect robotexts to ramp back up in the coming months as scammers get back to work on delivery and bank-related scams.
Despite drop in robotexts, robocalls increase in August
Robocalls related to car warranties, and health insurance-related scams were among the top robocalls to hit American phones last month. Though August saw more robocalls overall compared to July, car warranty calls decreased by 40% month-over-month, marking a 67% overall decrease in these scams since the government began cracking down on them in July. However, Americans shouldn't count this robocall category out as it is still the leading overall robocall, with health insurance calls trailing slowly behind.
Political robotexts and robocalls surge as midterm elections near
Meanwhile, political messages spiked, seemingly impervious to fluctuations in robocalls and robotexts at large. In August, Americans received 13 million political calls and 7.4 million political texts, increases of 75% and 89%, respectively. Messages related to voter support and donation requests led the way. Americans can expect to receive more and more of these messages as the 2022 midterms come into focus.
Tips on how to stop phone scams:
- Don't answer phone calls from unknown numbers, especially those that call or text at odd hours.
- Don't follow prompts like "Press 1" or click any links.
- Never provide personal information like banking details or other sensitive information.
- Download a spam text and call blocker like RoboKiller to equip your phone with the latest technology to stop scams.

Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty gained attention for Minnesota's efforts to rework the health care system. As he considers a run for the Republican presidential nomination, Pawlenty uses examples from his home state to highlight what he sees as flaws in the Democrats' health care plan.
Just last month, Pawlenty joined a lawsuit against President Obama's plan.
As governor of Minnesota, Pawlenty backed a program that puts an emphasis on paying for efficient health care instead of rewarding health facilities that charge for what he calls "endless volumes of procedures."
Even though the Minnesota plan is still in its early stages, "it's extremely promising, and it works," Pawlenty tells Morning Edition co-host Steve Inskeep.
The state plan works off the premise that health care providers should charge differently -- that they should be paid one price for a basket of services.
The message that such a plan sends to health care providers, Pawlenty says, is that they will profit from being efficient and successful, instead of larding patients' bills with small charges.
"I analogize it to weddings," Pawlenty says. "I say to people, go to two weddings -- go to one with an open bar, where the alcohol and the drinks are free -- and go to one where there's a cash bar. You'll see different behaviors."
Some of the elements of the Minnesota plan are included in a pilot program put forth by the Obama administration in its health care overhaul. Still, Pawlenty is critical of the new law.
"I think what President Obama's proposal is ultimately going to do is, it's going to expand access, but it is going to do nothing to control costs," he says. "And for most Americans, their primary concern about their health care is that it's becoming unaffordable."
Some might argue that Pawlenty's plan can trigger some of the same arguments conservatives have made against the Democrats -- that the attempt to control costs can also restrict peoples' health care options. But the former governor disagrees.
Health care costs for Minnesota's state employees had gotten too high, Pawlenty says.
"So we created a new system," he says. "We said, look, you can go anywhere you want. But if you choose to go somewhere that's really expensive, with poor results, you're paying more. And if you choose to go somewhere that has better results, and is more efficient, you will pay less."
Republicans in the House are expected to vote to repeal Obama's health care plan. But even if they succeed in doing so, the repeal isn't likely to go very far -- after all, Democrats still control the Senate, and the presidency.
Asked to name a positive goal that Congress might strive for, Pawlenty says: "Payment reform. Stop paying for volumes of procedures, and start paying in part for better outcomes."
Many observers are expecting Pawlenty to make a run at the Republican presidential nomination. Asked about that possibility, he says, "I am considering running in 2012, but I won't make that decision until probably later this quarter, or early next quarter."
If it's any indication, Pawlenty has just released a new biography, Courage to Stand: An American Story. In it, he recounts how he went from being the son of a truck driver in Minnesota to governor -- and possibly a presidential candidate.
Asked about a potential national campaign, Pawlenty admits he would need to start early, to build his name recognition with voters. And he says he'll be asking his wife, Mary, for advice about what to do.
But Pawlenty wouldn't say whether his wife favors a run for the White House.
"She's a loving and encouraging spouse, no matter what I do," he says.

South Korea will be conducting a public survey to determine whether to reduce the compulsory military service for the pop band BTS.
South Korean defence minister Jong Sup said that he has ordered the implementation of this survey 'quickly'.
The defence minister also said that he will review all the factors, considering the economic importance of BTS, the importance of military service and other factors of national security.
The mandatory military service of all seven band members is under discussion as its oldest member 'Jin' will turn 30 in December and may have to go for military service.
A proposal is under consideration to reduce the mandatory military service period of BTS band members from two years to three weeks.
It should be noted that every physically fit South Korean citizen has to do 2 years of compulsory military service before reaching a certain age, according to the South Korea law.

EUROPE POWER-German forwards continues to fall, spot untraded
PARIS, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The German front-year power contract fell for the fourth day in a row on Friday after reaching a high above 1,000 euros Monday as the European Commission considers how to contend with energy prices at historic highs.
Among options being discussed are gas price caps, which Refinitiv analysts said could make EU carbon allowances (EUA)more of a factor in power generation costs.
Coal becoming a marginal price setter would alse drive up the EUA price because it is a more polluting resource, they added, saying also that the increased importance of EUAs could prompt calls for a cap on carbon permit prices.
Benchmark German baseload power for 2023 delivery TRDEBYZ3 fell 6.6% to 508 euros a megawatt hour (MWh) by 1034 GMT, tracking falling gas costs. NG/EU

Labour has accused the Government of blatantly misusing taxpayers’ money after reports emerged that Whitehall officials took a £50,000 sightseeing tour of the UK on board the Prime Minister’s official plane. It is understood a number of Foreign Office officials boarded the Government jet on Wednesday, and that “the usual catering” for a flight was available.
According to The Sun, the trip cost £50,000 and during the journey a “fancy meal with a selection of alcoholic drinks” was served. Flightradar24’s data shows the plane took off from London Stansted Airport, headed to the Lake District and then further north on to the Sottish Borders, before returning.
Shadow attorney general Emily Thornberry told the PA news agency: “This kind of blatant misuse of taxpayers’ money would be considered totally unacceptable at the best of times, but in the middle of the cost-of-living crisis our country is facing, those responsible should feel utterly ashamed. More than anything, it also shows that the culture of wasting public money and laughing about it behind our backs goes way beyond Boris Johnson, and will continue until we get rid of this whole wretched Government.”
A Government spokesman said the flight was necessary to comply with aviation law. The Airbus is expected to take the new Prime Minister to Balmoral, Scotland, to be sworn in by the Queen next Tuesday.
The spokesman said: “In order to comply with Airbus and aviation industry rules, the aircraft was legally bound to operate a maintenance flight before September 4 or face significant additional storage costs.”
Labour former minister Chris Bryant also criticised the trip, telling PA: “This Tory Government seems to have an infinite capacity to waste taxpayers’ money on partying and vanity projects.”
It is not the first time the aircraft, which is used for ministerial trips and for the Royal Family, attracted criticism. The Airbus A321 is the second so-called “Brexit Jet” acquired by the Government alongside the PM’s primary plane, the RAF Voyager Vespina aircraft, which was repainted in the colours of the Union flag at a cost of £900,000.
The Government is leasing the £80 million plane, which was given the same paint job as RAF Voyager at an undisclosed cost. The contract for the Airbus A321 said it “must be operated in a ‘Global Britain’ livery”, with an included stipulation saying it can only be used by the Government.
Foreign Secretary and frontrunner to become the next prime minister Liz Truss was accused of a “grotesque misuse of taxpayers’ money” last year following reports she had chartered the jet to Australia. The Independent reported the Foreign Secretary had opted for the private flight for her trip due to security concerns, although commercial flights were available.
A senior source told the newspaper it would have cost £500,000 to operate the A321. According to the ministerial code, “ministers must ensure that they always make efficient and cost-effective travel arrangements”.
It says: “Non-scheduled flights may be authorised when a scheduled service is not available, or when it is essential to travel by air, but the requirements of official or Parliamentary business or security considerations preclude the journey being made by a scheduled service.”
The Prime Minister’s primary plane, RAF Voyager, an Airbus A330 jet, was repurposed for use by the UK Government in 2015, at a cost of £10 million. It was first used to take former prime minister David Cameron to the Nato summit in Poland in July 2016.
At the time, the Government defended the expenditure, arguing it was cheaper than chartering flights and would save about £775,000 a year. In 2018, Mr Johnson complained while he was Foreign Secretary that the RAF Voyager jet, which is shared by the Prime Minister, senior Cabinet members and the Royal Family, “never seems to be available”. | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/officials-enjoyed-sightseeing-tour-uk-7539218 | 2022-09-02T12:45:25Z | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/officials-enjoyed-sightseeing-tour-uk-7539218 | true | 7 |
Marble Falls Mustangs at ‘full strength’ for home opener against Brownwood
Following a 52-7 win last week against the Pflugerville Connally Cougars to open the season, the Marble Falls Mustangs football team is poised for its home opener against the Brownwood Lions. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 2.
You can listen to it live on KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune, at KBEYFM.com, or via the free KBEY app starting with a 7 p.m. pregame show.
Coming off of a strong week of practice, Mustangs head coach Brian Herman believes his team is ready for the matchup against the Lions.
“I feel like we had a really good week of preparation,” he said. “I think the guys know what’s expected from them and what their roles are.”
Specifically, the Mustangs spent extra time this week in practice focusing on preventing turnovers after the team had several fumbles during the season opener, Herman said.
The coach was pleased with the discipline his players showcased in their first game, only racking up three penalties in the contest. He was also content with the offense’s efficiency on fourth-down and two-point conversions.
“I think we were four-of-six on fourth down, which is actually a pretty decent ratio,” Herman said. “Two-point conversion-wise, we were better than 50 percent, which is actually kind of the goal.”
Last week, multiple senior starters were out for various reasons, including injuries. Herman plans to unveil several of those players in Friday’s home opener.
“We are more full strength than last week on multiple fronts,” he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Serena and Venus Williams traded fist bumps or palm slaps and chatted between points. They smiled while conversing in their seats at changeovers.
When their first doubles match together in 4 1/2 years ended with a loss at the U.S Open on Thursday night, the siblings hugged each other, then left the court to a standing ovation.
The Williams sisters were eliminated by the Czech pair of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova 7-6 (5), 6-4 at Flushing Meadows.
“I was speechless when I found out I’m going to face these two. I mean, they’re legends. And I was always such a big fan of them, especially Serena. She has been my idol since ever, probably,” said Noskova, a 17-year-old making her Grand Slam debut in doubles. “So I was really happy, excited, but kind of scared, to face them.”
Arthur Ashe Stadium had never hosted a first-round doubles match — for women or men, during the night or day — until this one featuring two members of one family who have combined to claim 14 Grand Slam titles in doubles.
“It’s something incredible, because playing first round in a huge stadium, with 23,000 people, is something amazing,” said the 37-year-old Hradecka, who won major doubles trophies with Andrea Hlavackova at the 2013 U.S. Open and 2011 French Open. “I don’t think (when) we played the final here, it was packed like this.”
The Williams sisters, who did not do interviews after the match, were partnering up for the first time since the 2018 French Open. According to the WTA, this was just their second first-round doubles defeat at a Slam; the only other one came all the way back at the 1997 U.S. Open.
“I’m still in shock that we won,” Hradecka said in an on-court interview right after the match’s conclusion.
Speaking to the sellout crowd of 23,859, she said: “I’m so sorry for you that we beat them, but we are so happy that we did it.”
The fans were not nearly as boisterous as they were for each of the two victories in singles this week for Serena, who has hinted that this will be the final event of her career.
Serena plays Ajla Tomljanovic on Friday night in the third round of singles; Venus was bounced from that bracket in the first round.
After a rather subdued entrance from the locker room by Hradecka and Noskova, who were competing as a team for the first time, a video tribute to the Williams-Williams pairing played on the Ashe videoboards, with a narrator introducing “two of the greatest athletes on Planet Earth” and, in a reference to Serena’s looming retirement, saying, “It’s not too late to change your mind.”
There was footage of them through the years, including as kids with white beads in their hair (like Serena’s daughter, Olympia, wore on opening night) and, later, winning titles.
Olympia, who turned 5 on Thursday, was not there for this one, Serena’s husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian was, as were the sisters’ mother, Oracene Price, and their sister, Isha.
During the pre-match warmup, the announcer noted that the sisters are 14-0 in Grand Slam doubles finals and declared: “They’ve transformed and elevated the sport as we know it.”
The spectators saved their biggest cheers for some of Serena’s best efforts, whether aces or putaways or an on-the-run forehand winner. The sisters went up 5-4 early and held two set points there on Noskova’s serve, but could not convert either.
The loudest moment probably arrived after a 19-stroke point won by the sisters during the first-set tiebreaker, featuring three swinging volleys by Serena. That put them ahead 4-3, and soon it was 5-3.
But Hradecka and Noskova grabbed the next four points to claim that set. They then jumped ahead 3-0 in the second, and after the Williams sisters made it 4-all, the Czech team pulled away.
The Williams siblings received a wild-card entry into this year’s doubles field. Serena, who turns 41 next month, and Venus, who turned 42 in June, won doubles trophies at the U.S. Open in 1999 — the year Serena won her first major singles trophy at age 17 in New York — and 2009.
They have a total of 30 major trophies in singles: 23 for Serena, seven for Venus.
“Playing against the Williams sisters,” Noskova said, “is a special moment for everybody.”

Bus repower company Kleanbus revealed the first images of its advanced modular platform technology, which it claims, can turn any bus, whether single or double-decker, from ICE to fully electric quickly and cost-effectively.
With climate change escalating and poor air quality in cities reaching critical levels, decarbonising transport has become one of the greatest challenges of our time.
Electrification is the most viable way for bus operators to go green, but new electric buses are expensive and can take many months to join a fleet from order placement to delivery.
Repowering – removing the diesel engine or hybrid powertrain from an existing bus, and replacing it with a fully electric powertrain – is the fastest and most cost-effective method to transition the UK bus fleet to zero-emission, and Kleanbus’ advanced solution can accelerate that changeover thanks to the company’s unique technology.
Joe Tighe, Co-Founder and CEO, Kleanbus said: “With 97 percent of UK buses powered by diesel engines that emit large amounts of carbon, oxides of nitrogen, and particulate matter and a staggering 35,000 of them on the road, the country faces a major challenge to rapidly decarbonise this vital transport sector and is struggling to move quickly enough”.
This approach means that Kleanbus can take advantage of the very latest componentry, enabling it to leverage a wide variety of batteries and motors, creating purpose-built e-powertrains tailored exactly to a bus operator’s needs.
The e-motors used by Kleanbus also do not have magnets, so use no rare earth materials at all, demanding less of the planet’s resources and limiting the disastrous impact of rare earth metals production.
The Kleanbus repower programme consists of a full evaluation of the vehicle, removal of its diesel engine and all associated ICE components, scanning and prototyping of the vehicle’s interior, design of a bespoke platform, installation of a new e-drive, build, full testing process and final certification.
Once a bespoke e-drivetrain has been designed and tested it takes less than two weeks to repower an individual bus, getting the vehicle back in service in as little time as possible.
Electric repowered buses from Kleanbus also cost one-fifth of a new electric bus – but with Kleanbus’ partnerships with finance providers, operators can choose several ways in which to finance their vehicle, ranging from paying for the vehicle upfront and leasing the battery, to paying nothing upfront and leasing both the vehicle and the battery. In this way, operators can fund the cost of the repower through operating revenue, maximising the business case.
Kleanbus also arranges for an operator’s depot to be upgraded with appropriate charging technology, enabling them to go electric without having to contact third parties. | https://www.financialexpress.com/express-mobility/span-stylecaret-color-rgb32-33-34-color-rgb32-33-34-font-family-arial-font-size-17-33333396911621px-text-align-justifykleanbus-reveals-modular-platform-capable-of-repowering-bus-from-diesel-to-electri/2653425/ | 2022-09-02T13:00:07Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/express-mobility/span-stylecaret-color-rgb32-33-34-color-rgb32-33-34-font-family-arial-font-size-17-33333396911621px-text-align-justifykleanbus-reveals-modular-platform-capable-of-repowering-bus-from-diesel-to-electri/2653425/ | true | 1 |

(AP) - Iowa is flying under the radar despite winning the Big Ten West last year. It’s not an unfamiliar position for the Hawkeyes, who often win ugly year in and year out. The Hawkeyes can’t count on their defense generating as many takeaways as it did a year ago, so offensive improvement is a must. South Dakota State presents a big challenge. The Jackrabbits are ranked in the top three of the FCS polls and one of two programs to make the FCS playoffs each of the last 10 seasons, including the semifinals or final four of the last five years.
KEY MATCHUP
Iowa running game vs. South Dakota State front seven. Gavin WIlliams and Leshon Williams (not related) form a 1-2 punch at running back after Tyler Goodson declared for the NFL draft. They’ll need to produce against a front seven that returns four veteran starters. The Jackrabbits want to force Spencer Petras into passing situations. Petras’ passer rating last year ranked 98th nationally, and his receiver corps is not deep. SDSU led the FCS with 21 interceptions.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
South Dakota State: QB Mark Gronowski, who missed last season because of injury, returns as the starter. He led the Jackrabbits to the FCS title game in the 2021 spring season and was named Missouri Valley Conference offensive player of the year.
Iowa: WR Alec Wick is a walk-on who made a fast rise on the depth chart and could get significant playing time if Keagan Johnson is limited or can’t play. The Hawkeyes already are missing injured starter Nico Ragaini.
FACTS & FIGURES
Iowa has won 19 of its last 21 openers. ... The Hawkeyes are playing an FCS opponent for the first time since 2018 (Northern Iowa). ... Iowa has intercepted 89 passes since 2017, most of any team. The Hawkeyes picked off a school-record 25 passes last season. ... SDSU is 2-9 against Bowl Subdivision opponents since moving to Division I in 2008. The Jackrabbits beat Colorado State 42-23 in last year’s opener. ... SDSU LB Adam Bock, who grew up 12 miles north of Iowa City in Solon, made a team-leading 125 tackles with 9.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.

Porsche has announced its intention to hire Sajjad Khan, former Mercedes-Benz chief technical officer, to represent its IT division on its executive board.
The firm is yet to confirm the appointment – or indeed a start date – but said Khan “could begin his duties as soon as he is available to do so” in an official statement, suggesting discussions are well advanced.
German publication Handelsblatt has reported that Khan’s appointment is imminent but that it hinges on Mercedes allowing the move under non-competitive measures agreed as part of Khan’s 2021 departure.
New Volkswagen Group CEO (and Porsche CEO) Oliver Blume said: “We look forward to being able to welcome Sajjad Khan, a proven digital expert, to the board and thereby strengthen our IT team in a critical position.
“Our industry is experiencing the greatest transformation in its history. We laid the strategic groundwork very early on. Our focus now is on implementation, which we want to continue to drive forward together with Sajjad Khan.”
During his time at Mercedes, Khan oversaw the development of the firm’s MB.OS operating system, the MBUX interface and the Hyperscreen infotainment system featured in the Mercedes-Benz EQS, plus much more.
He previously worked for BMW, where he was responsible for the Connected Drive services, which include the lauded iDrive infotainment package.
Porsche’s move signals that it might intend to set up its own software division, perhaps breaking from the Cariad division that is currently responsible for all Volkswagen Group brands’ software development. | https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/business-finance-and-corporate/porsche-poaches-former-mercedes-tech-chief-run-it | 2022-09-02T13:07:37Z | https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/business-finance-and-corporate/porsche-poaches-former-mercedes-tech-chief-run-it | false | 1 |
Although Hulu provides a comprehensive streaming service, you might not always have a promising experience. There can be times when you encounter glitches and error messages. Recently many users have reported that Hulu is not working on their streaming devices.
If you’re one of them, you might have come across “We’re having trouble loading this right now” or “Sorry, Unable to Start” pop-ups. Well, this can happen when the server is down. Or when you haven’t cleared corrupt cache data of Hulu on your device.
So, in this article, we will guide you with several fixes on how to solve the error on mobile, streaming devices, and gaming consoles.
Why is Hulu Not Working?
Here are the probable reasons why Hulu is not working on your device:
- Using Outdated version of Hulu App
- Corrupt Cache data
- App Glitches and bugs
- Internet Connectivity error
- Ended Hulu Subscription
- Hulu Server Down
How to Fix Hulu Not Working?
Before jumping to fixes, you can restart Hulu App. It might solve the error as restarting troubleshoots temporary glitches and errors on the app. You can close the app and open it again after a few minutes.
However, if it does not work, you might have to force-stop it. Below, we have compiled various fixes to solve it on your mobile.
Force Stop Hulu App
Firstly, you can force-stop the Hulu App and try using it again. When you exit the app, there might be some features still running. So, force stop will ensure that all background features of the Hulu app are stopped completely. Then, you can restart Hulu again.
Also, while closing the Hulu app, make sure to exit all running programs/apps in the background. Too many apps running together in the background leads to glitches in the device system.
Check out the steps for it below.
On iOS
- For users below iPhone X, click on the Home button twice. For iPhone X and above, Swipe up from the bottom to the center
- Then, locate Hulu on the multi-task tray. Swipe up and Release to force stop
On Android
- Open Settings on your phone
- Go to Apps > Manage Apps
- Tap on Hulu and choose Force Stop
On Apple TV
You can force stop the Hulu app and try using it again on your Apple TV. Here are the steps for Apple TV 4th generation and later.
- On your home screen, click on the Home icon twice
- Using your Apple TV remote, locate Hulu on the switcher dashboard
- Swipe up to close the app (Close all the running apps from the screen)
Run Speed Test
A weak network connection could be another reason why Hulu is not working. Hulu has recommendations on internet connection speed. So, when your network does not meet the requirement, you might encounter screen freezing or app loading error while launching Hulu.
In such a case, you can check whether the network status is strong or not by running a speed test. Then, you can compare it with the recommendations. If the status is poor, you must improve the network.
Improve Network Connection
There are several ways you can improve your network connection. With strong internet connectivity, Hulu should start working on your device.
- Firstly, you can turn off your devices to stream Hulu.
- Power cycle your router. You can turn off the Wi-Fi Router and unplug it. After waiting for a few seconds, you can plug it back. Turn it on and check if it works.
- Disconnect your Wi-Fi network on other devices that are unused at the moment.
- Try connecting your streaming device to the router directly.
Clear Corrupt Cache
It might get corrupted if you don’t clear the cluttered cache data on your device. Such data can lead to errors like app crashing and playback issues on Hulu App. Thus, clearing it occasionally is the best bet to avoid such problems.
Check out the steps below.
On iOS
- Navigate to your phone Settings
- Go to General > iPhone Storage
- Tap on Hulu and choose Delete App
- Again, tap on Delete App to confirm
- You can Reinstall it from App Store
On Android
- Go to Settings
- Choose Applications > Hulu > Storage
- Tap on Clear Cache
Check Your Subscription Status
Hulu might stop working if your subscription has ended. Therefore, you can check the subscription status to know whether it is expired or not. If it has, you will need to upgrade it to continue streaming.
Follow the given steps below.
- Launch the Hulu website on your device
- Then, sign in to your Hulu account
- Navigate to the Profile Icon at the top-right
- Click on Account (You might be prompted to enter your account password)
Check for Updates
You need to update the Hulu app with the latest version for enhanced performance and features. If there is an error within the app, they release fixes on the updated version. Thus, updating the app might solve this error. Depending on your smartphone model, you can hover over to Google Play Store or App Store to check for Hulu app updates.
Check Hulu Server Status
If you still encounter the problem, there might be an internal outage on Hulu. It is most likely that there isn’t an issue with your device. So, to know whether the server is down or not, you can check their Twitter account. You cannot solve such a severe outage on your own. However, we recommend you to look up updates or the status patiently.
Reinstall Hulu
Another fix for Hulu not working is to reinstall the app on your device. When you delete the app, it will clear all data and troubleshoot minor glitches. Thus, reinstalling the app should solve the error. You can delete Hulu on your mobile and install it back as you did for the first time.
Since there is no default option to clear cache on your Apple TV, you can reinstall the app. Hulu should start working on your Apple TV.
Contact Hulu Customer Support
The fixes should solve your issue by now. However, if it persists, we recommend you to reach out to the Hulu Customer service team for professional support. You can report to them about Hulu not working on your device. They will help you troubleshoot the problem. | https://www.technewstoday.com/fix-hulu-is-not-working/ | 2022-09-02T13:10:36Z | https://www.technewstoday.com/fix-hulu-is-not-working/ | true | 1 |
There’s just one week to go until Cobra Kai returns for a 5th season and we seriously can’t wait.
Cobra Kai takes place over 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament with the continuation of the inescapable conflict between Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka).
Season 4 saw Daniel and Johnny join forces with their Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang dojos training together. Their aim was to bring down John Kreese (Martin Kove) and Cobra Kai. They weren’t the only ones teaming up though as Kreese tempted Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) to return.
At the end of the season, Daniel and Johnny combined their karate to create a new style – Miyagi-Fang. Despite this Cobra Kai won the All Valley Tournament and Terry Silver announced expansion plans. Kreese was sent to prison, Robby (Tanner Buchanan) and Johnny settled their differences and Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) headed to Mexico in search of his father. Daniel asked Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) to help them defeat Cobra Kai.
In season 5, following the shocking results of the All Valley Tournament, Terry Silver is expanding the Cobra Kai empire and trying to make his “No Mercy” style of karate the only game in town. With Kreese behind bars and Johnny Lawrence setting karate aside to focus on repairing the damage he’s caused, Daniel LaRusso must call on an old friend for help.
It also appears that Daniel might not be the only one asking for help. One of the images shows another familiar face from the past – Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan) the villain from The Karate Kid Part III. We presume he’ll be joining forces with Terry Silver seeking revenge against Daniel.
Other returning characters include Samantha LaRusso (Mary Mouser), Tory Nichols (Peyton List), Eli ‘Hawk’ Moskowitz (Jacob Bertrand), Demetri (Gianni DeCenzo), Amanda LaRusso (Courtney Henggeler), Carmen (Vanessa Rubio), Kyler (Joe Seo), Kenny (Dallas Dupree Young), Mitch (Aedin Mincks), Nate (Nathaniel Oh) and Chris (Khalil Everage).
Cobra Kai season 5 will be available to stream via Netflix UK on September 9th, 2022 at 9am GMT | https://entertainment-focus.com/2022/09/02/cobra-kai-season-5-preview/ | 2022-09-02T13:16:15Z | https://entertainment-focus.com/2022/09/02/cobra-kai-season-5-preview/ | false | 1 |
XIAMEN, China, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from chinadaily.com.cn:
In an effort to become a role model for practical cooperation in the sphere of the new industrial revolution among the BRICS countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, the coastal city of Xiamen in East China’s Fujian province has broken new ground and implemented new initiatives.
In September 2017, the BRICS Summit was held in Xiamen, and in September 2021, the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution Innovation Center was launched in Xiamen, both of which deepened the cooperation between Xiamen and other BRICS countries. The establishment of the BRICS innovation center has become a major historical opportunity for Xiamen to achieve a higher level of opening-up to the outside world.
The innovation center, which serves as a pillar for promoting BRICS cooperation, is expected to help improve developing countries’ capacities to seize the opportunities brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Xiamen also plans to utilize the innovation center to help the city become the nucleus of the BRICS network.
During the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-
Xiamen has also responded actively to the central government’s call to promote the development of the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution Innovation Center based on high standards. Efforts have also been made to deepen cooperation with BRICS countries, and a batch of new projects related to BRICS cooperation have been set up in the city, and all of which are expected to help Xiamen build the innovation center into a platform for deepening pragmatic cooperation between BRICS countries.
Since the launch of the innovation center two years ago, more than 120,000 personnel from 28 countries have been trained and more than 100 BRICS demonstration projects have been launched.
BRICS cooperation has brought great benefits to Xiamen. Official data showed that in the first seven months of this year, Xiamen’s foreign trade volume with BRICS countries reached 47.9 billion yuan ($7 billion), a year-on-year increase of 20.7 percent, and accounted for 9.1 percent of the city’s total foreign trade during the period. | https://turkeynewsgazette.com/xiamen-aims-to-be-bridgehead-for-brics-cooperation/ | 2022-09-02T13:16:58Z | https://turkeynewsgazette.com/xiamen-aims-to-be-bridgehead-for-brics-cooperation/ | true | 9 |

The U.S. job market remains unusually hot heading into the Labor Day weekend.
Employers added 315,000 jobs in August, according to a report from the Labor Department. The unemployment rate rose to 3.7% from 3.5% in July, but only because nearly 800,000 new people entered the workforce. Employment gains for June and July were revised down by a total of 107,000 jobs.
Loading...
Retailers, factories and health care all added jobs last month.
The labor market continues to shine, despite slowing economic growth and rising fears of recession. Payroll employment has now rebounded to levels not seen since the start of the pandemic. That leaves workers with more money to spend and helps to support the consumer-driven economy.
Loading...
But a strong labor market also has the potential to fuel even higher inflation at a time when businesses are already struggling to keep up with rising demand for goods and services.
Prices in July were up 8.5% from a year ago. Inflation remains near a four-decade high, despite the recent drop in gasoline prices.
Employers have added 3.5 million jobs so far this year, and they're eager to add more. In July, there were nearly twice as many jobs openings as there were unemployed workers to fill them.
Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell worries that mismatch could push wages — and eventually prices — even higher.
"The labor market is particularly strong, but it is clearly out of balance, with demand for workers substantially exceeding the supply of available workers," Powell said last week, while speaking at an economic conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Loading...
The Fed is likely to take some comfort from an influx of new workers last month. The number of people working or looking for work rose by 786,000 in August after declining in the two previous months. The share of adults in the workforce jumped to 62.4% last month from 62.1% in July. The labor force is still short about 163,000 workers compared to pre-pandemic levels.
The Fed is raising interest rates aggressively
Average wages in August were up 5.2% from a year ago — unchanged from July.
Nela Richardson, chief economist for the payroll processing company ADP, believes wage gains have begun to level off.
"Wages have jumped up but they've stabilized," Richardson said. "And so, depending on your view — half empty or half full — [that] could be interpreted as good news for the future of inflation."
The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates aggressively in an effort to tamp down demand and bring prices under control. The central bank has boosted rates by 2.25 percentage points since March. Another rate hike of 0.5 to 0.75 percentage points is expected later this month.
Higher interest rates are already taking a toll on the housing market. The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has jumped to 5.66% this week, from less than 3% a year ago. Both new home construction and the sale of existing homes have slumped as a result.
Construction companies added only 16,000 jobs last month, down from 24,000 in July.
While a few, high-profile businesses like Bed Bath & Beyond have announced job cuts in recent days, most employers are reluctant to lay workers off, despite signs of waning economic growth.
New claims for unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs — have fallen in each of the last three weeks, and claims remain very low by historical standards.
What's more, a preliminary estimate from the Labor Department shows job growth in the 12 months ending in March was even stronger than initially reported.
The estimate, released last week, is based on a more comprehensive tally of businesses. It shows there were 462,000 more payroll jobs in March than were reported in the monthly survey. A final job count will be released early next year.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A former owner and CEO of a South Florida drug manufacturing company has been sentenced to three years and one month in federal prison for lying to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and allowing contaminated medicine to go to pediatric hospitals.
Raidel Figueroa was sentenced Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale federal court, records show. He pleaded guilty in June to conspiring to defraud the FDA, falsifying records in an FDA investigation, obstructing proceedings before the FDA and distributing adulterated drugs.
Figueroa had previously been a co-owner of PharmaTech LLC, which manufactured and distributed the laxative Diocto Liquid from 2016 to 2017, according to court records.
The FDA inspected the company’s operations in July 2016 as part of a larger investigation into an outbreak of infections linked to bacteria known as Burkholderia cepacia. The bacteria is typically found in water and soil and can lead to respiratory and other infections for people with weak immune systems, chronic lung disease and other conditions.
The FDA notified Figueroa in August 2016 that a sample taken from Pharmatech’s water system had tested positive for the bacteria. Investigators said Figueroa assured the FDA that Pharmatech would re-engineer its purified water system to prevent future contaminations.
During a March 2017 inspection, Figueroa lied to FDA investigators by knowingly excluding Diocto Liquid from its products distribution list, despite shipping over 7,000 units of the drug earlier that month, and by telling the FDA that Pharmatech’s new water system had met “acceptance criteria,” which was not true, prosecutors said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified the FDA in July 2017 of bacterial infections in pediatric patients at Stanford Children’s Health Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, California, and Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Bottles of Diocto Liquid collected from the hospitals contained unacceptable amounts of bacteria, yeast and mold, officials said. Some bottles tested positive for Burkholderia cepacia. FDA investigators determined the bottles had come from Pharmatech in March 2017, which Figueroa knowingly failed to disclose. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-drug-company-ceo-pleads-guilty-to-selling-tainted-medicine/ | 2022-09-02T13:24:21Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-drug-company-ceo-pleads-guilty-to-selling-tainted-medicine/ | true | 45 |

Subscribe newsletter
The Manx International Classic Trial is all set to make a return this weekend with a full entry of 220 riders tackling 62 sections over the two days.
The start will be from the TT Grandstand on both days, with Saturday getting underway with local father and son, Russell and Orry Millward, at 8.30am.
This is the 24th running of the event, the first since 2019 because of the pandemic.
The first 78 riders are twinshocks from the 1970s and 1980s, with the bulk of the entry a mix of pre-65 originals and replicas - the oldest a post-War 1947 500cc Ariel ridden by John Feather of West Yorkshire. Each class has a premier (hard) and clubman (moderate) route.
International entries are significantly reduced this year, but half a dozen have travelled over from Germany and Belgium, with a couple from Ireland and one from Sweden. The bulk of riders are from the UK and Northern Ireland, in addition to 40 locals.
More than 20% of the riders are newcomers to the event.
Past winners of the premier award in the line-up include most recently Kiaran Hankin (No.146), Paul Heys (147), Stephen Murphy (151), Kevin Chapman (177), Juan Knight (No.181), Robin Luscombe (183) and John Maxfield (188). Knight, who won Pre-65 class three times on the bounce in 2010, 2011 and 2012, is riding the ex-Mick Grant 500 Ariel.
In addition to Grantie (No.182), other former TT winners entered are Iain Duffus (94) and Steve Plater (184) in the pre-65s and Ryan Farquhar (65) in the twinshock class.

LOVE Island's Luca Bish has revealed how the Love Islander ‘worked out’ Michael Owen was Gemma’s dad.
The fishmonger, 23, has also lifted the lid on why they never talked about the professional equestrian's famous relative during their time in the ITV2 villa.
Luca and Gemma, 19, coupled with each other on day five and stayed with each other all the way to the final.
The pair placed second on the show and since returning to the UK, they've made things official.
But one thing that fans have always wanted to know is HOW Gemma's famous dad was brought up into conversation with the other Islanders.
Luca revealed on the most recent episode of the Private Parts podcast.
Host Jamie Laing asked: "How quickly did you find out that her dad was Michael Owen?"
Luca replied: "I think Andrew told us. I don't know how he worked it out."
The reality star also explained that Gemma wasn't a huge fan of talking about her claim to fame in the villa.
He added: "I tell you what if anyone brought her dad up in that villa she did not like it.
Most read in Love Island
"She's her own person and she doesn't want to be 'oh are you Michael Owen's daughter?' She wanted it to be 'oh that's Gemma's dad'."
Luca met Gemma's mum when she visited the villa, but fans were keen to know when he would meet her other parent.
The tatted hunk finally met the footie star during their family holiday to Portugal last month.
Gemma kept very quiet about who her famous dad until nearly a month into the show.
She is the eldest of England football legend Michael Owen's four children with wife Louise Bonsall.
Gemma opened up after being pressed on the subject by Antigoni Buxton, who also has a famous parent in chef Tonia.
Not beating around the bush she asked: "Sorry, excuse me if I'm being ignorant. But is your dad very, very well known, he played for England right?"
Gemma, doing her make-up in a nearby mirror, replied simply: "Yeah."
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu - perhaps not keen to get drawn into the merits of the Owen-era England team - then asked: "Do you like David Beckham's son?"
Gemma told her offhandedly: "Well, I went to nursery with his sons."
Former Islander Ikenna Ekwonna revealed during an episode of Aftersun that the original Islanders were told about Michael Owen at a very early stage.
He said: "We didn’t really know until like the second or third day. I don’t think the girls knew, like the guys knew." | https://www.thesun.ie/tv/9346877/luca-love-island-gemma-owen-dad-work-out/ | 2022-09-02T13:31:08Z | https://www.thesun.ie/tv/9346877/luca-love-island-gemma-owen-dad-work-out/ | true | 4 |
When do the new trains run?
Starting on September 1st, the new EuroNight service will leave Stockholm every afternoon at 5.34pm, and arrive at Hamburg Altona station at 6.35am in the morning (8.51pm on Sundays). The train stops in Norrköping, Linköping, Alvesta, Hässleholm, Lund, Malmö, Copenhagen Airport, and Odense.
It will be possible to board the train in Malmö between its arrival at 10.40pm and its departure at 11.44pm.
On the Hamburg-Stockholm leg, the train will leave Hamburg at 9.55pm and arrive in Stockholm at 9:55am, stopping at the same stations.
How did it go for first trains on Thursday and Friday?
According to Peter Krameus, communications strategist for SJ, the inaugural trip was a success, which had been helped by a test train run two weeks ago.
“It went well. We hit Hamburg at the right time, and this morning, the train from Hamburg reached Stockholm, I think, 20 minutes late,” he told The Local. “It’s a small step towards improving international travel by train.”
Jakop Dalunde, an MEP with Sweden’s Green Party, posted pictures of the departure on the Tågsemester Facebook page.
“Historic!” he wrote. “It’s finally time for the launch of the new tight train to Hamburg. For the first time in decades, we have daily departures to the continent all-year-round.”
How much do tickets cost?
According to SJ’s English language page on the service, prices will go from 264 kr for a seat, to 2,172 kronor for a proper bed in a first class sleeping compartment. There is a discount of 25 percent for children up to the age of 15, while children up to the age of five can share a bed with an adult for free. Youths between 16 and 26 have a 15 percent discount, and seniors have a 10 percent discount.
These prices are the starting prices however, and will only be available for those who book long in advance. SJ has a demand-based pricing system, meaning the prices will rise as more and more tickets are sold.
When and where can I book tickets?
Tickets can be booked on SJ’s website here, but are currently only available up until December 9th, with all tickets up until this date fully sold out.
According to Krameus, a new round of tickets will be released on or before September 15th covering dates between December 10th and New Year’s Eve.

What sort of compartments are available?
As SJ’s own night train carriages are too broad to run on the continent, the company has hired carriages previously used by the Nightjet Service in Germany and Austria, now run by Austrian rail company ÖBB. The carriages ordered include first class sleeping compartments, second class sleeping compartments, second class couchette carriages, and second class seated carriages.
The first and second class sleeping compartments have between one and two properly made beds inside them, with their own basins. The couchette compartments have six fold-down bunks, with passengers expected to make their own beds with the sheets provided, and shared basins.
The seated carriages either have five person cabins, or open seating in carriages.
Unfortunately, a complex bureaucratic hurdle has meant that the Danish Civil Aviation and Railway Authority (Trafikstyrelsen) is unable to approve the sleeping carriages (sovvagn) and seated carriages (sittvagn), meaning the trains ran on Thursday night with only couchette carriages.
“There is new EU legislation called the Railway Package, which says that if a carriage is approved in one EU country it is automatically approved in other EU countries,” Krameus explained. “But Denmark has not implemented this legislation, so we have to get these cars approved by the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA). It is the first time that this new legislation has been in place, and therefore it came as a surprise to us that Denmark has taken this stand.”
He said that SJ has so far said that ERA approval will not come in September, meaning it will be at least a month before the sleeping and seated carriages will be operated.
What’s the background to the service?
Sweden’s Green Party has made restarting night trains to the continent one of its priority issues in government, with their coalition government subsidising a study into possible routes, and then in empowering the Swedish Transport Administration to tender subsidised routes from Stockholm to Hamburg and from Malmö to Brussels. SJ won the bidding for the Stockholm to Hamburg route, and no rail company bid for the Malmö to Brussels route.
“The commercial terms in that procurement weren’t good enough, and they didn’t get any company willing to run that service,” Krameus said of the Brussels route.
The subsidy will continue until May 15th 2023, after which SJ intends to continue running the service for at least another four years.
“We have said that we will run the service every day, year around, from May 15th to September 14th on our own commercial terms. We think there is enough demand to make it profitable,” he said.
What will it mean for travellers from Sweden?
According to Mark Smith, the former British Rail station manager who runs the excellent Themaninseat61 rail travel website, the new service will be a “game changer” for travellers from Sweden, making it possible to do the trip from Stockholm to London in 24 hours throughout the year.
This is likely to mean more Stockholmers take the train to Europe, rather than flying, as it is possible to start your travelling day already in Hamburg.
Is there any competition?
Yes. Snälltåget, the Swedish train operator owned by Transdev, already runs a train from Stockholm to Berlin, via Hamburg in the spring, summer and autumn, but uses the sleeper train to take Swedes to the country’s northern ski resorts in the winter.
Are there any plans to extend the service?
According to Krameus, in March 2023, SJ is considering extending the train beyond Hamburg to Cologne, Berlin or even to Paris.
“As you know, we arrive in Hamburg at 6.30am, so it will be possible to go on for another three hours in any other direction, to Cologne, Berlin or Paris. This is something we are looking at right now. We want to do it but everything is not finished yet.” | https://www.thelocal.de/20220902/everything-you-need-to-know-about-stockholm-to-hamburg-night-trains/ | 2022-09-02T13:31:23Z | https://www.thelocal.de/20220902/everything-you-need-to-know-about-stockholm-to-hamburg-night-trains/ | false | 3 |
US Navy says Iran again briefly seizes American sea drone
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran said Friday its navy seized two American sea drones in the Red Sea before letting them go, the latest maritime incident involving the U.S. Navy’s new drone fleet in the Mideast.
Cmdr. Timothy Hawkins, a spokesman for the Navy’s Mideast-based 5th Fleet, acknowledged the incident on Friday to The Associated Press but declined to immediately elaborate.
Iranian state television aired footage it said came from the deck of the Iranian navy’s Jamaran destroyer, where lifejacket-wearing sailors examined what appeared to be two Saildrone Explorers. State TV said the Iranian navy found “several unmanned spying vessels abandoned in the international maritime routes” on Thursday.
“After two warnings to an American destroyer to prevent possible incidents, Jamaran seized the two vessels,” state TV said. “After securing the international shipping waterway, the Naval Squadron No. 84 released the vessels in a safe area.”
This marks the second such incident in recent days as negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers hang in the balance. The earlier incident involved Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, not its regular navy, and occurred in the Persian Gulf.
The 5th Fleet launched its unmanned Task Force 59 last year. The 5th Fleet’s area of responsibility includes the crucial Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of all oil passes.
It also stretches as far as the Red Sea reaches near the Suez Canal, the waterway in Egypt leading to the Mediterranean, and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait off Yemen.
The region has seen a series of maritime attacks in recent years.
Off Yemen, bomb-laden drone boats and mines set adrift by Yemen’s Houthi rebels have damaged vessels amid that country’s yearslong war. Near the United Arab Emirates and the Strait of Hormuz, oil tankers have been seized by Iranian forces. Others have been attacked in incidents the Navy blames on Iran.
Those attacks came about a year after then-President Donald Trump’s 2018 decision to unilaterally withdraw from Iran’s nuclear deal, in which sanctions on Tehran were lifted in exchange for it drastically limiting its enrichment of uranium.
Negotiations to revive the accord now hang in the balance. Thee U.S. cast doubt Friday on Iran’s latest written response over the talks.
Iran now enriches uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels as officials openly suggest Tehran could build a nuclear bomb if it wishes to. Iran has maintained its program is peaceful, though Western nations and international inspectors say Tehran had a military nuclear program up until 2003.

The U.S. job market remains unusually hot heading into the Labor Day weekend.
Employers added 315,000 jobs in August, according to a report from the Labor Department. The unemployment rate rose to 3.7% from 3.5% in July, but only because nearly 800,000 new people entered the workforce. Employment gains for June and July were revised down by a total of 107,000 jobs.
Loading...
Retailers, factories and health care all added jobs last month.
The labor market continues to shine, despite slowing economic growth and rising fears of recession. Payroll employment has now rebounded to levels not seen since the start of the pandemic. That leaves workers with more money to spend and helps to support the consumer-driven economy.
Loading...
But a strong labor market also has the potential to fuel even higher inflation at a time when businesses are already struggling to keep up with rising demand for goods and services.
Prices in July were up 8.5% from a year ago. Inflation remains near a four-decade high, despite the recent drop in gasoline prices.
Employers have added 3.5 million jobs so far this year, and they're eager to add more. In July, there were nearly twice as many jobs openings as there were unemployed workers to fill them.
Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell worries that mismatch could push wages — and eventually prices — even higher.
"The labor market is particularly strong, but it is clearly out of balance, with demand for workers substantially exceeding the supply of available workers," Powell said last week, while speaking at an economic conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Loading...
The Fed is likely to take some comfort from an influx of new workers last month. The number of people working or looking for work rose by 786,000 in August after declining in the two previous months. The share of adults in the workforce jumped to 62.4% last month from 62.1% in July. The labor force is still short about 163,000 workers compared to pre-pandemic levels.
The Fed is raising interest rates aggressively
Average wages in August were up 5.2% from a year ago — unchanged from July.
Nela Richardson, chief economist for the payroll processing company ADP, believes wage gains have begun to level off.
"Wages have jumped up but they've stabilized," Richardson said. "And so, depending on your view — half empty or half full — [that] could be interpreted as good news for the future of inflation."
The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates aggressively in an effort to tamp down demand and bring prices under control. The central bank has boosted rates by 2.25 percentage points since March. Another rate hike of 0.5 to 0.75 percentage points is expected later this month.
Higher interest rates are already taking a toll on the housing market. The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has jumped to 5.66% this week, from less than 3% a year ago. Both new home construction and the sale of existing homes have slumped as a result.
Construction companies added only 16,000 jobs last month, down from 24,000 in July.
While a few, high-profile businesses like Bed Bath & Beyond have announced job cuts in recent days, most employers are reluctant to lay workers off, despite signs of waning economic growth.
New claims for unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs — have fallen in each of the last three weeks, and claims remain very low by historical standards.
What's more, a preliminary estimate from the Labor Department shows job growth in the 12 months ending in March was even stronger than initially reported.
The estimate, released last week, is based on a more comprehensive tally of businesses. It shows there were 462,000 more payroll jobs in March than were reported in the monthly survey. A final job count will be released early next year.

Diplomat: Myanmar gives ex-British envoy 1-year prison term
The couple are believed to be detained in Yangon.Bowmans first stint as a diplomat in Myanmar was in 1990-93 as the British embassys second secretary.The governments statement last week said Bowmans husband was charged with abetting the failure to register the proper address.Htein Lin is an artist and veteran political activist who was a student when he took part in Myanmars failed 1988 uprising against military rule.
- Country:

A court in military-ruled Myanmar has sentenced a former British ambassador to the Southeast Asian nation to a year in prison for failing to register her residence, a diplomat who has been following her case said Friday.
Independent media in the country and the website of BBC's Myanmar-language service also reported the court's action.
The diplomat said former envoy Vicky Bowman's husband, a Myanmar national, was also given a one-year sentence for the same offense. The diplomat insisted on not being identified because he was not authorized to release such information. Neither Myanmar's military government nor the British embassy have publicly confirmed the court's action.
Since 2013, Bowman has been heading the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business, a business ethics advisory group that says its goals include the promotion of human rights through responsible business in Myanmar.
The charge against Bowman has been widely seen as a pretext for cracking down on her for views the government may have considered critical, although her business was operated as a consultancy and did not play a notably vocal role in public affairs.
Responding to reports of the sentencing, Britain's Foreign Office in London said Friday, "We will continue to support Ms Bowman and her family until their case is resolved." The couple were arrested on Aug. 24, the military government announced last week. It said Bowman, who served as the British envoy in 2002-2006, was detained for failing to inform the authorities last year when she and her husband moved from their registered address in Yangon to Kalaw township in Shan state in east-central Myanmar. They were arrested during a trip back to Yangon, the country's biggest city.
It said she and her husband, Htein Lin, were charged under the Immigration Act and the Foreigners Registration Rules. Bowman, who has applied for a visa to do business in Myanmar, was charged with breaching visa rules because she did not comply with regulations governing foreigners, the statement said.
Bowman was liable to six months to five years' imprisonment because of her failure to change the address on her official residence permit registration card, it said, It was not immediately clear which of the two charges the couple were sentenced under. Failure to properly register her address automatically put her in violation of the Immigration Act, which has catch-all provisions saying that foreigners are guilty of violating the terms of their visas if they are found to have broken other laws.
High-profile convictions of foreigners are usually followed by their expulsion from Myanmar before they serve their complete sentences, though their detention period can sometimes last for months. The couple are believed to be detained in Yangon.
Bowman's first stint as a diplomat in Myanmar was in 1990-93 as the British embassy's second secretary.
The government's statement last week said Bowman's husband was charged with abetting the failure to register the proper address.
Htein Lin is an artist and veteran political activist who was a student when he took part in Myanmar's failed 1988 uprising against military rule. He was also a political prisoner under a past government.
Myanmar has been under military rule since February 2021, when its army ousted the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
The takeover triggered widespread peaceful protests which were violently suppressed and soon erupted into armed resistance. The country has slipped into what some U.N. experts characterize as a civil war.
According to detailed lists by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma), an advocacy group, about 2,262 civilians have died in the military government's crackdown on opponents and more than 15,320 people have been arrested.
The human rights group Amnesty International, reacting to reports of the sentencing, said that "Since the coup, we have seen activists, artists, journalists, students, business owners, and medical professionals arbitrarily detained and jailed by the military on the slightest pretext.'' ''The latest reports on the conviction of the former UK ambassador and her Burmese artist husband are extremely concerning. Myanmar's military has a notorious track record of arresting and jailing people on politically motivated or trumped-up charges,'' it said in a statement.
Ravina Shamdasani, a spokesperson for the U.N. human rights office in Geneva, said her agency is "deeply shocked that the de facto authorities have sought to punish people who have been committed to the development of the country." "Overall, we have raised concerns about the miscarriages of justice for thousands of people in Myanmar. And this trial and these kinds of sentences further add to these concerns that we've had.," she said at a news briefing.

Frieze Art Fair makes Asian debut in Seoul, tapping hot S.Korean market
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
SEOUL, Sept 2 (Reuters) - VIP guests packed into Seoul's COEX convention centre on Friday as the city became the first in Asia to host the Frieze Art Fair, which features works from over 110 galleries worldwide.
In a nod to South Korea's millennials-backed art market, which is set for another record-breaking year, the Fair - a closely-watched showcase of top works by contemporary artists - moved for the first time beyond its traditional venues of London, New York and Los Angeles.
"We're thrilled to have now Seoul, the Korean art fair, as part of Frieze. We were definitely missing an Asian arm," said Simon Fox, chief executive officer of the Frieze group.

An art hub focused on post-war and contemporary works, South Korea last year overtook Germany to rank the fifth largest market, according to bank UBS and Art Basel's Art Market Report.
Sales grew 180% to a record 922 billion won ($680 million), Korea Arts Management Service (KAMS) data showed.
Reasons for the boom include a growing interest among millennials, who often see art as an investment opportunity, as well as a favourable tax regime.
One 36-year-old collector, Seoul office worker Lee Young-sang, has been saving up for the long-awaited fair, which opens to the public on Saturday.
"I am so happy to see amazing ... art works in one place and have the opportunity to buy," Lee, who spends most of his disposable income on art and owns around 120 pieces, said.
Artworks valued under 60 million won are exempt from capital gains tax in South Korea and sales tax is levied at a relatively low 22% on a maximum of 20% of the price.
Such factors "definitely encourage young collectors to make bold investments," tax accountant Kwon Min said.
Riding that wave, at least five international galleries have opened or expanded their floorspace in Seoul in 2021 and 2022.
They include global dealer Perrotin, which opens its second gallery space in the glitzy Gangnam district this week to coincide with the fair, and Thaddaeus Ropac, which opened its first last year.
"(South Korea) has an amazing infrastructure - well-educated public, great academies, artists, museums and committed collectors," said Thaddaeus Ropac, founder of the eponymous dealership which has galleries in London, Paris and Salzburg.
"(South Korea has) a surprisingly young collecting generation, probably younger than in Europe and America, which is ...very exciting for us."

Imagine if they could bottle a potion called “Just Serena.”
That was Serena Williams’ succinct, smiling explanation for how she’d managed — at nearly 41, and match-rusty — to defeat the world’s second-ranked player and advance Wednesday to the third round of a U.S. Open that so far, doesn’t feel much like a farewell. “I’m just Serena,” she said to roaring fans.
Clearly there’s only one Serena. But as superhuman as many found her achievement, some older fans in particular — middle-aged, or beyond — said they saw in Williams’ latest run a very human and relatable takeaway, too. Namely the idea that they, also, could perform better and longer than they once thought possible — through fitness, practice and grit.
“It makes me feel good about what I’m doing still at my age,” said Bess Brodsky Goldstein, 63, a lifelong tennis enthusiast who was attending the Open on Thursday, the day after Williams’ triumph over 26-year-old Anett Kontaveit.
Yet Goldstein, like any athlete, suffers her share of aches and injuries, like a recent knee issue that set her back a few weeks. Watching Williams, she said, shows ordinary folks that injuries — or, in Williams’ case, a life-threatening childbirth experience five years ago — can be overcome. “She gives you inspiration that you can achieve your best, even in your early 60s,” said Goldstein, who also had high praise for Venus Williams, Serena’s older sister, competing this year at 42.
Evelyn David was also watching tennis at the Open on Thursday, And she, too, was thinking about the night before.
“Everybody is going, ‘WHOA!’” said David, who smilingly gave her age as “older than my 60s” and is the site director for New York Junior Tennis Learning, which works with children and teens. She cited the physicality of Williams’ play, and the role of fitness in today’s tennis. “The rigorous training that athletes go through now is different,” David said. “She’s going, ‘I’m not falling over. I can get to the ball.’”
“A total inspiration,” David termed Williams’ performance — and she had some prominent company.
“Can I put something in perspective here?” former champion and ESPN commentator Chris Evert said during Wednesday’s broadcast. “This is a 40-year-old mother. It is blowing me away.”
Evert retired at age 34 in 1989, well before fitness and nutrition were the prominent factors in tennis they are now. They were even less so when pioneering player Billie Jean King, now 78, was in her heyday.
“For us older ones, it gives us hope and it’s fun,” King said Thursday in an interview about Williams. “Puts a pep in your step. Gives you energy.” She noted how fitness on the tour has changed since the 1960s and 1970s.
“We didn’t have the information and we didn’t have the money,” King said. “When people win a tournament now, they say, ‘Thank you to my team.’ They’re so lucky to have all those people. We didn’t even have a coach.”
Jessica Pegula, the No. 8 seed who won Thursday, is at 28 a half-century younger than King. She knows well the difference fitness has made.
“It’s been a huge part of it,” she said. “Athletes, how they take care of their bodies, sports nutrition, the science behind training and nutrition — (it) has changed so much.
“Back in the day, you saw a player drinking a Coke on the sideline or they had a beer after their match. Now … health has been the No. 1 priority, whether it’s physical or mental.” She said she remembered thinking Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Williams were all going to retire, but “they kept pushing the boundaries.”
Federer, 41, hasn’t played since Wimbledon last year because of operations to his right knee, but has said he’ll try to play Wimbledon next year, shortly before his 42nd birthday. And Nadal, 36, known for his intense devotion to fitness, has won two Grand Slam titles this year to raise his total to a men’s-record 22. Nobody would be surprised if he won another major. In contrast, Jimmy Connors’ famous run to the 1991 semis of the U.S. Open when he was 39 was considered an event for the history books.
Of course, fitness is only one building block to greatness — in any sport. Denver Broncos safety Justin Simmons, who like Pegula is 28, noted that even though it’s inspiring to see Williams keep an athletic advantage partly through preparation, “not everybody is Serena and Venus Williams. Maybe there’s some genes in there that not everybody else is blessed enough to have, but it’s still cool to know that, hey, even though she is genetically gifted, there are some things that she’s done that have helped her in a tremendous way prolong her career.”
Dr. Michael J. Joyner, who studies human performance at the Mayo Clinic, said Williams shares many traits with other superstar athletes (from baseball’s Ted Williams to golfer Gary Player and star quarterback Tom Brady, 45 and famously un-retired) who have enjoyed long careers.
“What you see with all of these people is they stay motivated, they’ve avoided catastrophic injury … or they’ve been able to come back because they’ve recovered,” he said. Also key: They live in “the modern era of sports medicine.”
The question, he asked, is can Williams perform at the same level every other day to win a whole tournament? He hopes so.
Williams fan Jamie Martin, who has worked in physical therapy since 1985 and owns a chain of clinics in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, said she’s seeing many women playing vigorous, competitive sports into middle age and beyond. Some return to their sport, or take up a new one, after years of focusing on work or family.
Williams’ pursuit of another U.S. Open title at 40 is a reminder that women can not only remain competitive longer, but can compete now for the joy of it, she notes.
“She’s really enjoying playing,” said Martin, 59. “That’s what’s fun to watch about it now.”
Brooklyn teacher Mwezi Pugh says both Williams sisters are great examples of living life on their own terms – which includes deciding how long they want to play.
“They are still following their own playbook,” said Pugh, 51. “‘Are you ready to retire yet, Serena?’ ‘I don’t like that word. I would rather say evolution.’ ‘Are you ready to retire, Venus?’ ‘Not today.’”
“The older you are, the more you should be able to set up your life in the way you like, and what works best for you,” Pugh said. “That’s what the sisters are doing, and they are teaching all of us a lesson.”

Timothée Chalamet showcases his eccentric sense of style in a floral knitted cardigan and oversized camo shorts while promoting new film Bones & All during Venice Film Festival
Timothée Chalamet showcased his unique sense of style at a photocall for his new film, Bones & All, during the 79th Venice International Film Festival on Friday.
The actor, 26, caught the eye in a black knitted cardigan with pink-and-orange floral designs, which he layered above a white T-shirt featuring grey prints.
He continued his eccentric look with oversized khaki camouflage shorts and shin-high black boots, along with a silver chain necklace and coordinating rings.
Wow! Timothée Chalamet showcased his eccentric sense of style in a floral knitted cardigan and oversized camo shorts at a photocall for Bones & All during Venice Film Festival Friday
The movie - which will premiere at the festival - is presented in the official competition, Venezia 79, at the gala running from 31 August to 10 September.
Timothée reunited with director Luca Guadagnino, with whom he previously collaborated on Call Me By Your Name, for which he received much critical attention.
Bones & All was based on Camille DeAngelis' novel of the same name, which was first published in 2015.
The movie will be centered on a pair of cannibals who become lovers and take a road trip across the United States.

The New York native will portray a character named Lee, while Taylor Russell will costar as Maren.
Other cast members in the soon-to-premiere feature are Mark Rylance, Andre Holland and Chloe Sevigny.
Development on the feature was initially announced last year, when its leads signed on to appear in the film.
Filming took place last year, with Cincinnati, Ohio, serving as a primary shooting location.
Happy: The New York native beamed for cameras as he posed at the event
Trendy: He wore his chocolate locks in glossy curls
Luca spoke about working with Timothée during an interview with Deadline, where he noted that a conversation with the actor during the development process helped change Lee as a character.
'That conversation made the character more mature and made the movie more mature in turn,' he recalled.
The filmmaker also praised the performer's ability to articulate his perspective on the project.
'As always it was so profoundly inspiring to talk to him because he's so clever and has such a specific point of view on things,' he said.
Storyline: The movie will be centered on a pair of cannibals who become lovers and take a road trip across the United States (pictured in-character)
Luca then expressed that he was happy to be able to reunite with Timothée.
'I do believe that if you are a filmmaker or a storyteller, you have to work with and around a group of people that are your family, and with whom you create ties that are very deeply familial,' he stated.
Bones & All is currently scheduled to premiere on Friday during the Venice International Film Festival.
It will also have its wide release in the United States on November 23.
Attracting the biggest stars, the film festival is held annually on the island of the Lido in the Venice Lagoon. With movie screenings taking place in the historic Palazzo del Cinema on the Lungomare Marconi.
This year's line up will see divisive biopic Blonde, starring Ana De Armas as tragic screen icon Marilyn Monroe, battle it out for the competition's top accolade.
Brendan Fraser's moving drama The Whale, where he plays an obese professor, will also compete alongside films starring Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman and Colin Farrell.

Fernández called the episode “the most serious since 1983, when the country returned to being a democracy”.
“I have decided to declare a national holiday so that, in peace and harmony, the Argentine people can express themselves in defense of life, democracy and solidarity with our vice president”, announced Alberto Fernández during a speech on national television.
This Friday morning, the chief of staff at the Casa Rosada (the seat of the Argentine presidency), Juan Manzur, convened a meeting of ministers.
According to sources from the Chief of Staff to the website “Infobae”, the meeting will be held from 8:30 am Brasília time.
“Today more than ever we have the obligation and responsibility to defend democracy, dialogue, consensus and social peace,” Manzur declared on social media last night.
Fernando André Sabag Montiel, a 35-year-old Brazilian, based in the city of Buenos Aires, pointed a pistol a few centimeters from the face of the vice president, Cristina Kirchner. The attack took place around 9 pm this Thursday (1st), when she was greeting a group of militants in front of her residence. The gun was cocked, but the shot missed.
“We are facing a fact of extreme institutional and human gravity. They attacked our vice president and social peace was altered”, said the president, adding that “this attack deserves the most energetic repudiation of the entire Argentine society and of all political sectors”.
Alberto Fernández attributed the attack “to the hate speech that has been spread from political, judicial and media spaces”.
“Cristina is alive because, for some reason not yet confirmed technically, the gun that had five bullets did not fire despite having been cocked,” Alberto Fernández described.
Fernando Montiel appears in a black cap among the militants who were waiting for Cristina Kirchner to arrive in front of his house, in the La Recoleta neighborhood. The Brazilian stretches out his left arm and points the pistol at the former president’s head. It is also possible to hear the trigger before firing.
Cristina Kirchner, seeing the gun, even bends down. The vice president is a little bewildered, but continues to sign books, take pictures and greet the militancy.
Cristina Kirchner’s security guards managed to stop the attacker with the help of the militants. Then the Brazilian was arrested.
Brazilian is an Uber driver
Fernando Sabag Montiel, known on social media as Fernando Salim, was born on January 13, 1987, works as an Uber driver and has a record for carrying an unconventional illegal weapon on March 17, 2021. He was caught with a machete of 35 cm “for your personal safety”, claimed the Brazilian residing in the neighborhood of La Paternal, in Buenos Aires. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/09/02/alberto-fernandez-decrees-a-national-holiday-in-argentina-after-the-attack-on-cristina-kirchner-world/ | 2022-09-02T13:46:55Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/09/02/alberto-fernandez-decrees-a-national-holiday-in-argentina-after-the-attack-on-cristina-kirchner-world/ | false | 1 |

By all accounts, the short, sheltered life of Lucrezia di Cosimo de'Medici was not one you would have wanted to live. Born into wealth and power, she had neither. Married off at 13 to the fiancé of an older sister who died, she was dead herself by 16. Modern experts speculate the culprit was tuberculosis, not uncommon in 1561. Gossips came to a different conclusion: She was murdered by the Duke of Ferrara, her husband.
This dark supposition persisted long enough to inspire Robert Browning's 1842 poem "My Last Duchess," in which a lofty nobleman shows off his dead wife's portrait to the family member of a prospective bride. Now, Maggie O'Farrell has written her own version of Lucrezia's story, and — as you might expect from the author of "Hamnet" — she has spun pure gold out of this tragic history.
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction in 2021, "Hamnet" offered a new perspective on a boy in rural 16th-century England whose life and death inspired his grieving playwright father to create one of the most enduring works of all time. Like "Hamnet," "The Marriage Portrait" builds a rich interior world while vividly re-creating an era, in this case the Italian Renaissance, a period overflowing with intrigue and pomp, rustling heavy fabrics and glowing frescoes, blood and lust and the desire for power.
O'Farrell takes a few liberties with the story, adjusting Lucrezia's age and other realities. Lucrezia is 15, for example, on her wedding day, still small enough to feel imprisoned by her enormous gown, a harbinger of what's to come.
A strange child, fifth in a line of eight — her mother's nickname is "La Fecundissima" — Lucrezia learns quickly, whether she is studying Greek history, drawing perspective on a page or practicing the subtle art of manipulation. Wildness fascinates her. When her father brings a tigress to his zoo in the bowels of their Florentine palace, she is mesmerized by the beast, certain an understanding passes between them.
That tiger, who dies in her underground prison, haunts the novel, as Lucrezia, caught in her own gilded cage, discovers the truth about her enigmatic new husband. She endures what she loathes: sitting for a marriage portrait, the invasive act designed to produce an heir. When no heir materializes, fear creeps in.
And yet she's aware of an unfurling within. She feels "the rise of what she thinks of as her spirit — the unfettered part of herself to which no one, not even she, has access. It lives somewhere deep inside her, under the layers of costly palazzo clothes, mostly hibernating, as if under a covering of leaves, until called into action. Then it might uncurl, crawl out in to the light, blinking, bristling, furling its filthy fists and opening its jagged red mouth."
That mouth, those fists, that ferocity! These are the gifts, O'Farrell suggests, that Lucrezia can use to survive this hard world. May they serve us well, too.

The Marriage Portrait

Fernando Grostein Andrade, brother of presenter Luciano Huck, revealed in an interview with the magazine “Piauí” that he has been a victim of rape twice. The first time was when he was just 14 years old and the second time when he was 28. “When I was 14, during a party in a nightclub, men held me forcibly and penetrated my anus with their finger. “At 28 [anos]I was raped once again, but I can’t talk about this episode yet”, said
The 41-year-old from São Paulo is a filmmaker, producer, screenwriter and cinematographer. In addition to his popularity for being Huck’s younger brother, Fernando is known for the documentaries “Coração Vagabundo”, with Caetano Veloso and “Quebrando o Tabu”, which features testimonies from personalities such as Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Paulo Coelho and Dráuzio Varella discussing the war on drugs.
“Quebrando o Tabu” was launched in 2011 and became a brand that expanded to other platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram pages with the proposal to defend the rights of women and homosexuals and address the fight against prejudice and racism, among others. topics considered taboo.
Fernando holds a degree in Business Administration from Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), where he completed the course in 2003. He then took scriptwriting and directing courses. In communication, Grostein went through an advertising agency and radio and also wrote articles for “Trip” and “Playboy” magazines.
In addition to film work, Fernando has also directed campaigns for brands such as Coca-Cola, Pfizer and Nestlé, and is a managing partner at Spray Filmes, which produces commercials, documentaries and entertainment films.
In 2017, during a conversation with Pedro Bial, Grostein spoke about his brother Huck’s reaction when he came out to his family as a 20-year-old. “I remember that Lu, who I love dearly, told me: ‘It took you 20 years to solve this in your head, we need some time here to solve it within ourselves'”.
In 2020, during a live, the filmmaker’s mother also spoke about her son’s sexuality. “I won’t say it was easy, because there were a lot of new things at the same time, and I was learning, I started to see things with different eyes”, said Marta Grostein.
Fernando is currently preparing to launch “Quebrando Mitos”, which will address the career of Jair Bolsonaro. On instagram, the filmmaker stated that the film is “an lgbtq biographical look at my and @fernandoosiqueiraa’s fragile and catastrophic masculinity”. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/09/02/who-is-fernando-grostein-brother-of-huck-rape-victim/ | 2022-09-02T13:52:22Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/09/02/who-is-fernando-grostein-brother-of-huck-rape-victim/ | true | 2 |

Premier League clubs have broken their transfer spending record for a season in the summer window of 2022. According to the estimates after the close of the transfer window the gross spending of all the Premier League clubs this summer is £1.9bn. This has surpassed the figure of £487.8m, the previous record spent across the summer and January windows of the 2017-18 season.
After spending around 2 billion pounds ($2.3 billion) on players across the 20 clubs, the Premier League has set itself up for another pulsating season of excitement, disappointment, protests, managerial sackings, failure and glory.
Yet there is barely time for the ink to dry on the new contracts signed on Thursday's deadline day before the teams are back out on the field and the reality of just how much each club has truly strengthened becomes clear.
Everton fans could allow themselves some cause for optimism after several signings, but by Saturday lunchtime, Frank Lampard's side will be taking on the firepower of Juergen Klopp's Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.
Although Liverpool made a stuttering start to the season, Darwin Nunez, Liverpool's main summer signing, is available again after suspension and the 9-0 win over Bournemouth and the last-second 2-1 victory over Newcastle suggest normal service has been resumed for Klopp's side.
Lampard, whose team battled against relegation last season and have yet to win this time around, has several new faces as options with midfielders Idrissa Gueye and James Garner signing on deadline day and forward Neal Maupay a recent addition from Brighton and Hove Albion.
Everton have won just one of their last 26 meetings in all competitions with their neighbours.
Manchester United, who have won their last three games, spent over 200 million pounds -- over half of it on Brazilians Casemiro and Antony -- but on Sunday they face Arsenal, the only team in the league with a 100% record.
Mikel Arteta moved smartly in the window to add Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City but the trip to Old Trafford is the toughest test yet for the Gunners.
Manager Steven Gerrard is under pressure at Aston Villa, who have lost four of their five outings and host Manchester City on Saturday.
Champions City have quickly hit their stride with new signing Erling Haaland having scored nine goals in his first five games, including hat-tricks in the last two matches.
Former Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could make his debut in attack for Chelsea in their London derby against West Ham after completing a late move from Barcelona.

MYANMAR’s deposed former leader Aung San Suu Kyi was found guilty of electoral fraud on Friday and sentenced by a judge to three years in jail with hard labour, according to a source familiar with the proceedings.
The Nobel laureate and figurehead of Myanmar’s opposition to decades of military rule has been detained since a coup early last year and has already been sentenced to more than 17 years in prison. She denies all the allegations against her.
On Friday, she was judged to have committed fraud in a November 2020 general election that her National League for Democracy (NLD) won with an overwhelming legislative majority, trouncing a party created by the powerful military.
The source, who declined to be identified because they were not authorised to speak to media, said it was unclear what hard labour would entail. Co-defendant Win Myint, the deposed president, was given the same sentence, the source said.
A spokesperson for the ruling military council did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The junta has said Suu Kyi is being given due process.
The military seized power in February 2021 to stop Suu Kyi’s NLD from forming a new government after the election that it said had instances of fraud that had not properly been investigated.
The NLD has denied fraud and said it won fairly.
Suu Kyi, 76, has been on trial for more than a year on multiple charges, ranging from corruption and incitement to leaks of official secrets, for which the combined maximum sentences is more than 190 years.
Her trials have been held behind closed doors in the capital, Naypyitaw, and the junta’s statements on the proceedings have been limited. A gag order has been imposed on Suu Kyi’s lawyers. - Reuters | https://www.thesundaily.my/world/myanmar-s-suu-kyi-gets-more-jail-hard-labour-for-election-fraud-KG9769279 | 2022-09-02T13:56:20Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/world/myanmar-s-suu-kyi-gets-more-jail-hard-labour-for-election-fraud-KG9769279 | false | 12 |
Dunstable man jailed after burglary and assault in Milton Keynes following online advert
On 18 May last year, Patrick Nevin visited a property in Reeves Croft, Milton Keynes to purchase mobile phones that had been advertised online.
As Nevin and the victim were negotiating a deal, Nevin entered the house uninvited, grabbed two mobile phones, pushed the victim and ran off.
Nevin got into a vehicle and the victim jumped in the boot which had been left open.
The vehicle stopped and Nevin got out and assaulted the victim, before making off.

Chitradurga (Karnataka), September 2
Chief pontiff of Murugha Math Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru, who has been arrested for alleged sexual abuse of two minor girls, was on Friday remanded in police custody till September 5.
The seer was arrested on Thursday night and sent to jail in the early hours of Friday where he developed health complications.
He was taken to the district hospital, where medical tests were conducted. The medical team which examined him was contemplating to shift him to the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research in Bengaluru for treatment, sources said.
The 64-year old Sharanaru was produced on Friday in the local court, which remanded him in police custody for four days. The seer, wrapped himself in a white cloth around his saffron attire, was taken in a wheelchair to the court.
Sharanaru has been booked under provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act for allegedly sexually abusing two high school girls, studying in a school run by the Math and staying in hostel also belonging to it.
The pontiff of one of the most prominent and influential Lingayat Maths in the state was questioned by police for several hours on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the police have been given a free hand to investigate the sexual abuse case in accordance with law.
He did not wish to comment on allegations regarding the “delay” in the arrest of the seer.
“There is no need to respond to all these talk. I have already said that everything will happen in accordance with law. It is not right to comment on the case at the present situation,” Bommai said in the coastal city of Mangaluru in response to a question on delay in the seer’s arrest.
Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah sought an impartial probe by the police, based on the complaint lodged by victim-girls, in connection with the case.
Becoming the first senior leader from the opposition Congress to comment on the case, the former Chief Minister said the allegations against the seer were “serious” in nature.
“The allegations against Chitradurga Muruga Mutt Swamiji is (are) serious. The police should carry out (an) impartial investigation based on the complaint filed by the girls and reveal the truth,” Siddaramaiah tweeted. | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/karnataka-murugha-math-seer-hospitalised-after-being-arrested-in-sexual-abuse-case-427832 | 2022-09-02T14:00:38Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/karnataka-murugha-math-seer-hospitalised-after-being-arrested-in-sexual-abuse-case-427832 | true | 6 |
Afghan woman says she was raped and forced to marry Taliban official
‘These may be my last words. He will kill me, but it is better to die once than to die every time’
An Afghan woman accused a senior Taliban official of forcing her into marriage and repeatedly raping her in a video shared on social media recently.
The woman who identified herself only by her first name, Elaha, cried as she described being beaten and raped by former Taliban interior ministry spokesperson Saeed Khosti.
In the video, Elaha requested to be rescued from the apartment in Kabul where she claimed the Taliban had confined her.
“These may be my last words. He will kill me, but it is better to die once than to die every time,” she said in the video, which surfaced on Tuesday.
In the video, Elaha identified herself as a medical student at Kabul University and the daughter of an intelligence service general under the previous government.
She said Mr Khosti had forced her into marrying him six months ago, when he still held the spokesman post.
She claimed Mr Khosti tried to marry her sister to another Taliban official, but her family had fled the country by then.
“Saeed Khosti beat me a lot. Every night he raped me,” she said in the video.
Ms Elaha’s video was widely shared on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp groups.
On Wednesday, Mr Khosti confirmed he had married Elaha, but denied any wrongdoing. “I assure you that I have not done anything illegal,” he wrote on Twitter.
Elaha said Mr Khosti divorced her after finding she “has a problem in her faith” and had accused her of insulting the Quran, Islam’s holy book.
The Taliban has allegedly announced that the woman who made the accusations against Mr Khosti has been arrested and will soon be sentenced.
The Independent, however, has not been able to verify this response to the video, including the woman’s arrest.
A Twitter page that purportedly belongs to the Taliban-run Supreme Court on Wednesday tweeted that Elaha had been arrested for defamation on the orders of chief justice Abdul Hakeem Haqqani.
Without mentioning any trial taking place, the tweet said she would “soon be sentenced according to Sharia law”.
“No one is allowed to harm the name of Mujahideen or defame the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the 20-years of holy jihad,” it added.
Another Twitter page that also claims to be for the country’s Supreme Court that was apparently created last month, claimed in a post Thursday that the tweet was fake. This discrepancy could not immediately be resolved.
Amnesty International campaigner and women rights activist Samira Hamidi said in a tweet that “the testimony of Elaha, a medical student, about her forced marriage, rape, and torture by a powerful armed Talib is shocking reality of what dozens of women and girls are facing.”
She called on the UN to “immediately act to save her”.
Human Rights Watch, in a statement on Thursday, identified the woman as Elaha Dilawarzai, and said “it would be no surprise for a Taliban official to feel free to inflict forced marriage, rape, assault” and that the Taliban have “systematically dismantled structures to combat violence against women and girls”.
Senior HRW official Birgit Schwarz wrote on Twitter: “#Afghan women like Elaha Dilawarzai are fighting back against Taliban rights violations with extraordinary courage, using every tool at their disposal. The world needs to do more to stand beside them.”

Tribune News Service
Adamma Ebo’s directorial debut, “Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul.” is a bracing and bold film that blends documentary style filmmaking into a traditional narrative to create a bone-dry comedy and social commentary that’s one part “The Office,” and two parts “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.”
The always-excellent Regina Hall stars as Trinitie Childs, the long-suffering wife of disgraced pastor Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K. Brown). The couple used to minister to a congregation of thousands in their Southern Baptist megachurch, Lee-Curtis preaching the prosperity gospel decked out in flamboyant three-piece suits, Trinitie smiling at the TV cameras from under her elaborate church hats.
After a sex scandal, they’ve been left preaching to a group of five, and have hired a documentary crew to capture their comeback, planned for Easter Sunday, if it isn’t thwarted by the young upstarts at a new church, Heaven’s House, led by the Pastors Sumpter (Nicole Beharie and Conphidance).
Ebo’s choice to only partially use mockumentary footage in this film is an interesting one. It allows her, as a filmmaker, to show us the Childs when the (documentary) cameras aren’t on, at breakfast, in the bedroom, and to highlight the way the couple turn on and off their perfect personas, demonstrated most clearly in tight, toothy grins.
But it also asks the viewer to switch back and forth as well, constantly calibrating between the overall narrative of this story and the documentary that’s being made within. It’s unlike, for example, a Christopher Guest comedy, where the entire film is the mockumentary, and perhaps it would have been a more consistent choice to keep the device going the entire time.
“Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.” ultimately serves as a showcase for Hall’s incredible performance, which utilizes both her comedic and dramatic skills in equal measure. Some of the greatest commentary and comedy comes out of the extreme passive-aggression that bubbles between Trinitie and other women who attempt to out-“bless your heart” each other.
Hall’s ability to convey meaning and comedy through a look to the camera, a widening of her eyes or twitch of her mouth is masterful, and it’s chops that she has honed throughout her varied career, from “Scary Movie” to indie dramedies, to thrillers. Brown is also, unsurprisingly remarkable, and he is given the chance to show off the comedic abilities only previously seen when he hosted “Saturday Night Live.”
But while the performances are towering, it feels like there’s something missing from “Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul.” There is a sense of waiting the entire film for the story to kick into gear, and it never quite gets going. We wait and wait to find out the details about the sex scandal, and while there is a final confrontation, it never feels all that satisfying, dramatically. While Ebo skewers the hypocrisy of the church as Lee-Curtis pushes his wife to the brink, there are other aspects of their ministry that are left less explored, like the materialistic “prosperity” of their word and lifestyle.
In terms of the comedy, things never quite get as outlandish as it could be. It comes close to the edge, but doesn’t go over it, remaining arch and intellectual, resisting a full tilt into comedy, which is slightly unsatisfying for what it seems to promise.
“Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.” signals a fresh new voice in writer/director Ebo, who taps into a unique world, ripe for big screen exploration. But this satirical take on religion is far more cerebral than laugh-out-loud funny, and leaves much potential material to pillory on the table. | https://www.wyomingnews.com/features/movie-review-regina-hall-shines-but-honk-for-jesus-save-your-soul-a-muted-religious/article_c7ac8592-2a32-11ed-a632-a358e464ff64.html | 2022-09-02T14:04:23Z | https://www.wyomingnews.com/features/movie-review-regina-hall-shines-but-honk-for-jesus-save-your-soul-a-muted-religious/article_c7ac8592-2a32-11ed-a632-a358e464ff64.html | true | 5 |

The Daily Chase: Toronto home prices steady in August; Lululemon revenue surges
By Noah Zivitz
First Look With Surveillance: Biden Attack, Russian Gas
There was some sign of stabilization in Canada’s largest housing market last month as the average selling price inched up in Toronto after a five-month bear market-like skid. And sales also rose from July (albeit still way below year-ago levels). But that isn’t placating the local real estate board, which is ramping up its calls for policy adjustments that would take some of the pressure off buyers as interest rates rise.
WHAT A LINEUP
…and on a Friday heading into the last long weekend of summer, no less. Dream real estate tycoon Michael Cooper shares his perspective on the return-to-office trend at 3:30 p.m. EDT. A few minutes before that, Eric Nuttall joins us for more of his can’t-miss commentary on the energy market at 3:20 p.m. EDT. And ex-Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan will speak with Paul shortly after 10 a.m. EDT about central banks’ fight to rein in inflation ahead of next week’s Bank of Canada rate decision.
LULU BUCKS RETAIL TREND
Inflationary pressure hasn’t squeezed out demand for Lululemon’s products. The apparel maker hiked its full-year profit forecast late yesterday after trouncing second-quarter expectations. Revenue surged 29 per cent in the quarter, and was up 112 per cent compared to the same period in 2019. “Given the current macro backdrop, we have been looking closely at our guest data and metrics to identify any shifts in spending patterns, behaviours, or habits. And to date, I'm pleased to share that we are not seeing any meaningful variation in cohort behaviour or the metrics we track in this area of the business,” CEO Calvin McDonald said on a call with analysts.
MARKET WATCH
We’ll see how investors make sense of the latest U.S. jobs numbers, which show non-farm payrolls rose 315,000 last month. That was down sharply from July, but slightly above the median estimate among economists tracked by Bloomberg. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate unexpectedly inched up to 3.7 per cent and average hourly earnings grew a tick less than expected. We’ll dive into markets at 9 a.m. EDT with Ed Yardeni. And West Texas Intermediate crude has been up as much as three per cent this morning after three straight days of declines that helped knock down the S&P/TSX Composite Index. Reminder that OPEC+ is meeting on Monday when we’re on holiday

Editor:
I was attempting to ignore the event that ultimately lead to the decision to euthanize more bears, including cubs. When I first saw the headline my heart stopped and as I hear locals talking about it, I continue to feel the angst. Thanks James and others who are willing to share their dismay of the end decision ending the lives of some of our local bears. I would like to understand how these decisions are made. Undoubtedly, our wildlife officers have very difficult jobs and decisions to make, but how are these decisions formulated? How about a citizen task force.
We all know in the past we, the community, have also had to bare the sad news of the euthanization of other types of wildlife. Is it possible that we open our minds to a different kind of thinking wherein we start having a little more respect for our wildlife and more discussion? Perhaps if more locals were willing to share how they feel, we would have a solution that makes more sense.

Bears QB Justin Fields peaked in the preseason at the perfect time
It’s been nearly a week since the Chicago Bears wrapped up the preseason with a narrow victory over the Cleveland Browns and while roster cutdowns and waiver claims have been top of mind, many people are still talking about the performance of quarterback Justin Fields from that game.
Fields was masterful, completing 14-of-16 passes for 156 yards and three touchdowns. He was getting it done in and out of the pocket with accurate throws and deceiving motions that confused the Browns defense.
It was just what Bears fans wanted to see from their second-year signal caller, but we have also seen this story before when it comes to young quarterbacks impressing in the preseason and failing in the regular season.
Notably, former 2017 first-round pick Mitchell Trubisky comes to mind during his rookie year when he lit the NFL world on fire in the preseason, but struggled when the games actually counted. It’s easy to chalk up strong preseason performances to vanilla coverages and playing against reserves, but this feels different with Fields, and it’s coming at the perfect time too.
Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports
Before diving into Fields’ play, let’s rewind back to 2017 with Trubisky and his first preseason. Even though this was Trubisky’s rookie year and Fields’ second season, both are young quarterbacks during this period and are learning new offenses. Trubisky wowed from the start, going 18-of-25 for 166 yards and one score in his debut against the Denver Broncos, giving Bears fans hope they had finally solved their quarterback woes.
His success didn’t stop there either as Trubisky continued to play strong in the preseason his next two games against the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans. He finished the preseason 36-of-53 for 364 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions in four games. Compare that stat line with Fields’, who went 23-of-30 for 243 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in three games and both players look very strong.
Like the previous weekend with Fields, the fanbase was through the roof over Trubisky’s potential during this period in 2017. Even national media pundits believed the Bears finally were over the hump when it came to their quarterback woes.
Mitchell Trubisky MVP. You better get used to saying that.
— Colin Cowherd (@ColinCowherd) August 11, 2017
Trubisky just stood in on 3rd-and-18, took hit and threw a dart to Deonte Thompson. Yeah, this is 2nd/3rd string time, but he's making plays
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) August 11, 2017
For all the praise being heaped on Trubisky, he was still operating as the backup to Mike Glennon, though, knowing he wasn’t starting Week 1. In fact, he didn’t know when he would enter a game for the first time, which creates uncertainty for a position that requires players to be consistent in their preparation. Needless to say after finally getting the starting nod in Week 5 of that year, Trubisky’s rookie season was a wash and provided only a few highlight plays before the Bears switched head coaches heading into 2018.
Bringing it back to the present, what does any of this have to do with Fields and his recent success? For one, Fields had a similar situation during his rookie season in 2021, outplaying the quarterbacks on the roster, but still having no chance to win the starting job until an injury opened the door. His rookie season was also a wash for a number of reasons, but preparing as QB2 during the offseason did him no favors.
Now in Year 2 and in a new offense, however, he has progressed through camp and each game of the preseason, improving with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy’s scheme. The Bears offense may as well have been riding a tricycle against the Kansas City Chiefs, moved up to training wheels at the Seattle Seahawks, and graduated to a bicycle against the Browns with the way Fields and offense performed.
Steph Chambers/Getty Images
Getsy seemed to agree during his press conference earlier in the week on Tuesday.
“Like I mentioned before, I thought preseason game one, I was pleased with the process and the play calling into the huddle, the snap to the line of scrimmage, the motions, and the lack of penalties,” Getsy told reporters. “That carried over to preseason two and I thought he got even better in preseason three so I think that part of it we were all pleased with.”
Getsy also acknowledged that there was still room for improvements.
Fields is taking everything Getsy is throwing at him and making something happen with it. He looks quicker with his releases, he’s more confident when rolling out, and he simply looks more poised that he did last year. You can go back and see progressions during Trubisky’s preseason his rookie year as well, but unlike that situation, Fields won’t have to wait to build on his development.
Coming off his performance against the Browns, Fields already knows he’s the guy. There’s no one he’s competing with, no one breathing down his neck, and no one he has to wait behind for an undetermined amount of time like his rookie season last year.
Fields can take everything he just did against the Browns and build off of it in less than two weeks when the San Francisco 49ers visit Soldier Field for Week 1. For Trubisky in 2017, he had to wait a month and a half to make it into a game after his preseason. For all of his warts, don’t you think playing behind someone like Glennon could stunt a person’s confidence?
There’s something to be said about not only playing with confidence, but playing with confidence and knowing you have the opportunity to continue backing it up in future games that are just days away. Fields even admitted he knew Saturday’s game was going to be a good one.
“I kind of had a feeling beforehand, but sometimes you’re just feeling good going into the game, feeling confident,” Fields told reporters following the victory. “Hopefully we can go into every game feeling like that.”
He even said this game felt like a turning point going forward, though Getsy made sure to manage expectations as the two continue to develop together.
Preseason performances go out the window when the real games begin and Trubisky’s performance five years ago is a cautionary tale that success doesn’t always translate to the regular season.
When it comes to Fields, though, he has a chance to continue building on these progressions in a short time, knowing the Bears are his team. He picked a great time to have his best preseason game.

A celebration of inclusion and diversity within the interior design community
PITTSFIELD, Mass., Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Shade Store, the leader in customer window treatments, has returned as the exclusive window treatment partner to The Kaleidoscope Project, a non-profit 501C3 organization dedicated to providing multi-platform opportunities to designers and artists in the black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) communities. The Shade Store collaborated with participating designers to bring hand-crafted custom window treatments into each of their spaces in the 2022 iteration of The Kaleidoscope Project Showhouse, the full transformation of the 1906 Tyler Street Firehouse in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
To continue its mission of celebrating diversity in design, The Kaleidoscope Project also has a focus on sustainability, where the four participating designer firms reimagined the old firehouse into a 4-unit residence. Each unit features unique designs that reinvigorate the building while still maintaining its historic integrity. Inspired by the unique array of architectural details, The Shade Store worked directly with each designer to execute their concepts across a variety of spaces with unparalleled attention to detail and premium custom-made window treatments.

"We're excited to be working with this extremely talented group of designers," said Ian Gibbs, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of The Shade Store. "Each designer brought such a unique perspective to the project, and it has been amazing to see, and help execute, what they have come up with for the window treatments. We are proud to be a part of an endeavor that showcases this talent and has such a positive impact on the community."
Participating designers include Everick and Lisa Brown of Everick Brown Interior Design, Denise Gordon, Tanya Lewis and Marilyn W. LaVergne of Austin Gray Design Group, Virginia Toledo of Toledo Geller, and Rasheeda Gray of Gray Space Interiors.
"This has been the most challenging project of my 30-year career, as we started with just a shell of the building," said Amy Lynn Schwartzbard, Founder of the Kaleidoscope Project. "Being a part of this amazing work has made all the sweat and tears worth it. The window treatments are beyond extraordinary, and truly brings the designs to life. This is a proud moment."

Suspect arrested in Crosland Park shooting ambush
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - A suspect has been arrested over a shooting ambush in Aiken’s Crosland Park neighborhood that happened on the same night a driver was shot dead in May.
The newly arrested suspect, Bilal Bradley, 20, of Hampton Avenue, has the same name as the son of the driver who was killed. We’re trying to verify whether there’s a connection.
The crimes took place on the night of May 3, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
The shooting rampage took place around midnight at 1316 Aldrich St., according to the agency. Officers were told that about five males on foot had shot at the home and a 30-year-old Stacy Broen Croft before running into the woods and deeper into Crosland Park.
Croft said he was in the front of the home when several males ran up and started shooting in his direction. He ran to the back of the home, where there were more shooters who fired at him, as well.
He said he took cover between three cars in the back of the home before getting inside.
There were multiple bullet holes in the front, back, left and interior walls side of the house, which had children and adults inside. Cars also were damaged.
On Thursday, authorities arrested Bradley and he was booked into Aiken County jail on charges of attempted murder, pointing and presenting firearms at a person, discharging firearms into a dwelling and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
About an hour before the Aldrich Street incident, officers found a driver, Charles Bradley, 49, of Aiken, shot dead inside a vehicle at Hampton Avenue and Assembly Street.
According to his obituary, Charles Bradley had a son named Bilal.
Javon Croft has been arrested in connection with the slaying of Charles Bradley. He shares the same last name as the man Bilal Bradley is accused of shooting at.
In addition, a man with the same last name, Earnest Croft, was shot dead on Aug. 18, 2021, in the 1300 block of Aldrich Street. Police at the time reported that the shooting was believed to be gang-related.
Freddie Lee Simpkins was also identified as a suspect in Charles Bradley’s death.

Shetland viewers say the same thing about character’s ‘distracting’ accent
SHETLAND VIEWERS were confused during the latest episode of the BBC drama as they questioned Lloyd Anderson's offbeat American accent.
Series seven recently got underway with the beloved Douglas Henshall back as Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez as he investigated a crime on Shetland for the last time.
This time, new faces have been introduced, including American artist Lloyd Anderson (played by Patrick Robinson), but viewers were confused as to why the BBC didn’t cast an American actor for the role, instead.
Episode four of Shetland saw the DI issue a warrant for Connor’s arrest after the explosion last week.
The team spoke to people connected to him to see if he has any extremist beliefs, including his former American drawing tutor Lloyd, who admits he doesn’t believe Connor is capable of committing that sort of crime.
But after hearing the British actor speak, viewers were very distracted by the former Casualty star's choice of accent.
Fans were seriously distracted by the actors odd American twang and took to social media to share how they were feeling.
One viewer said: “Surely the character doesn’t need to sound like he’s in a bad B-Western.”
Another wrote: “I don’t get why they didn’t just get an American actors?”
“What is this weird accent, it’s so off-putting,” quipped another.
Most read in TV
“Why is no one talking about Patrick Robinson’s terrible American accent.” another viewer echoed.
UK viewers know Patrick from popular shows like, The Bill and Casualty, where he had long-running roles.
Along with Patrick making an appearance in the BBC drama this series, viewers will also see Shauna MacDonald and former EastEnders actress Laurie Brett.
Douglas had nothing but kind words to say about their appearance in the series along with all the other famous faces viewers have seen throughout the years.
He told BBC: “One of the great good fortunes of Shetland is we’ve had so many great guests to come in over the years, and Shauna, Laurie and Patrick have done an amazing job in this new series.
Shetland airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19688776/shetland-viewers-distracted-by-odd-american-accent/ | 2022-09-02T14:19:59Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19688776/shetland-viewers-distracted-by-odd-american-accent/ | false | 3 |

Gen Zia was keen on military control in 1971, says Indian author Sukharanjan Dasgupta
Former Bangladesh President General Ziaur Rahman, founder of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), was always keen on military control of the country as he envisaged a "Pakistan-style military rule" for the country, Indian author Sukharanjan Dasgupta says in an interview with India Today.
Author and columnist Sukharanjan Dasgupta said he was briefed about Gen Zia's political ambitions by a senior BSF officer during the 1971 war. As the chief correspondent of Anandabazar Patrika, he reported on the Liberation War by gathering information from freedom fighters in Bangladesh, reports India Today.
Dasgupta is the author of "Midnight Massacre" on the 1975 Bangladesh coup that killed most members of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's family.
"BSF troopers were fighting with freedom fighters under Zia's command from the very outset of the Pakistani crackdown on the Chittagong-Tripura border. Sometime in June 1971, he told a Bengali BSF officer that the country should be handed over to the army," Dasgupta claims.
He says then BSF IG Golak Majumder had told him about this conversation, which was kept a secret but reported.
"Desh ta Swadhin hole amader hathe deyar chestha korben. Juddho amra korchi, Neta ra sudhu bhashan dicchen (we should be allowed to run the country. The leaders are just lecturing around)," Zia allegedly had told the BSF officer whose report went up to BSF DG Nari Rustomji through Golak Majumdar, India Today reported.
The entire communication was secret but Dasgupta learnt of it from Majumder.
In 1971, Sukharanjan managed to make all his colleagues at the Anandabazar Patrika office in Kolkata donate one day's salary to wounded refugees sheltered in India, reads a story on his contributions in a leading daily in Bangladesh.
Unlike Pakistan's military rulers, the two Bangladeshi military ruler founded political parties to cement their control and ensure their legacy, India Today reported.
The role of Gen Zia in the gruesome assassination of Mujibur Rahman and his family on 15 August, 1975, has not been adequately probed and the role of several other actors in the conspiracy, including Pakistan, has not been investigated thoroughly.
Lawrence Lifschultz said that the men behind that assassination would not have moved around freely without Zia's backing. And Zia would not have been brazen enough to bring about the 'Indemnity Ordinance" that protected the killers of the country's founding father, reports India Today.
The author says that Indira Gandhi was made aware of this development that there were Bengali military officers who fancied Pakistan type army control rather than a "free flowing Indian style ballot box democracy".
"I have good reasons to believe that Indian intelligence kept Zia under surveillance after his outburst against politicians. Much as Awami League turncoat Khandkhar Mostaque was following his secret meetings with US diplomats in Calcutta," Dasgupta told India Today.
"That may explain why Sheikh Mujibur Rahman promoted Safiullah as army chief and not Zia because he may have been forewarned by Indira Gandhi," Dasgupta said.
Mostaque took charge of the post-Mujib government after the coup. His US connections, says Dasgupta, were well known to Indian spymaster P N Banerjee alias Nath Babu.
"But Banerjee told me he advised against any action on Mostaque because he was useful for disinformation to be planted on the Americans," says Dasgupta.
"The impression conveyed to Mostaque was India cannot militarily intervene in East Pakistan because it needed a large body of troops to control the Naga and Mizo insurgencies in Northeast and the Naxalite rebellion in West Bengal. This happened while India actually prepared for military action. The US was driven into complacency by the disinformation through Mostaque," Dasgupta told India Today.
P N Banerjee was later found mysteriously dead in a Dhaka hotel in late 1974 but he had conveyed the possibility of a military coup to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman several times.
Indira Gandhi personally conveyed the threat to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, but the great leader never believed his own people could kill him and took the warnings lightly. | https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/gen-zia-was-keen-military-control-1971-says-indian-author-sukharanjan-dasgupta-488958 | 2022-09-02T14:27:00Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/gen-zia-was-keen-military-control-1971-says-indian-author-sukharanjan-dasgupta-488958 | false | 2 |
A YORK student is encouraging men to recognise the signs of testicular cancer after taking on a new role.
University of York student Ollie Pick has secured the role of university ambassador for The OddBalls Foundation and from the autumn term will be helping the organisation to encourage men to check themselves for signs of the disease, the most prominent form in men and boys aged 15-49.
Twenty-two-year-old Ollie, originally from Woodbridge in Suffolk, is studying psychology at the university.
Ollie said: “I joined the university ambassador programme to become a part of a movement, which is growing year after year.
"I’m looking forward to adding to this momentum by reaching more people in York with the The OddBalls Foundation’s message which can ultimately save lives by breaking down the stigma surrounding testicular cancer.
"As part of my ambassador role I’m taking on an open water swimming race in London to raise valuable funds for the foundation.”
A keen rugby player and swimmer, Ollie has also got involved in various other aspects of university life and was recruited by an existing university ambassador from The OddBalls Foundation during a visit to York.
The OddBalls Foundation was founded in 2015 and is closely associated with colourful underwear brand OddBalls.
Someone is diagnosed with testicular cancer every hour in the UK, but if detected early, it is curable in over 90 per cent of cases.
The foundation’s university ambassadors visit schools, universities and workplaces, delivering talks on testicular cancer, and reminding boys and men to check their testicles, removing any stigma and embarrassment about that and the disease.
The ambassadors also place The OddBalls Foundation’s Check Yourself Guides in public spaces and workplaces.
In his role as a university ambassador for The OddBalls Foundation, Ollie is keen to have an open dialogue with men who want to learn more about testicular cancer and how to check for signs of the disease.
He welcomes contact from anyone who wants to talk and can be reached by sending an email for his attention to Hello@TheOddBallsFoundation.com.
To find out more about The OddBalls Foundation and its work visit theoddballsfoundation.com
Testicular symptoms to look out for include:
- a lump or swelling in part of one testicle
- a testicle that gets bigger
- a heavy scrotum
- discomfort or pain in your testicle or scrotum

Cristiano Ronaldo has been pushing for a move away from Manchester United, but he is set to stay put and that could leave a record-breaking window of opportunity open to Lionel Messi in the Champions League. A Portuguese superstar will, as a result of collective struggles at Old Trafford, be missing from the grandest of European stages this season, but an Argentine icon will very much be there with Paris Saint-Germain.
A couple of eternal rivals that have spent the best part of their respective careers competing against one another currently occupy the top two spots on an all-time goal scoring chart in continental competition, but could Messi wrestle a piece of history away from Ronaldo in 2022-23? GOAL takes a look…
How many Champions League goals does Messi need to catch Ronaldo?
The group stage of the 2022-23 Champions League is due to get underway on September 6, with PSG in action on the opening night against Serie A giants Juventus.
Messi will by hoping to figure prominently in that contest and across further Group H outings against Benfica and Maccabi Haifa.
As things stand, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has 125 Champions League goals to his name.
That is a stunning haul, but the mercurial Argentine still finds himself some 15 efforts adrift of Ronaldo.
A man that has conquered Europe on five previous occasions with United and Real Madrid has found the target on 140 occasions when rubbing shoulders with the Champions League elite.
He will, however, be playing no part in 2022-23 as his club employers at Old Trafford could only muster a sixth-place finish in the Premier League last season.
What are the chances of Messi breaking Ronaldo’s Champions League goal record in 2022-23?
⚽️ Ronaldo and Messi lead the way for Champions League goals, but the race for third is hotting up....#UCL pic.twitter.com/GE8Pb17KXe
— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) June 8, 2022
Messi has an unexpected opportunity when it comes to closing the gap on Ronaldo at the top of a notable goal list.
He would not have expected a man with five Golden Balls to his name to be absent from Champions League competition despite now being 37 years of age.
A desire to grace that platform once again is said to have figured prominently in Ronaldo’s thoughts as he pushed for a summer transfer away from Manchester – with an all-time great being linked with Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Roma, Napoli and even PSG at various intervals.
No deal was put in place and that means a Portugal international forward will be staying put until at least January.
Messi will, injury and suspension permitting, be involved in six Champions League fixtures prior to that as PSG seek to ease their way into the knockout stages.
If they were to make it all the way to the final in Istanbul on June 10, 2023, then a total of 13 games would be taken in.
It is not beyond the realms of possibility for Messi to register 15 goals across those outings – although he has never hit that mark before.
His personal best return across any single Champions League campaign is 14 – which was achieved in 2011-12 – and he has only reached double figures on five occasions.
That makes it unlikely that Ronaldo’s record will be ripped up by next summer, but if anybody is capable of achieving the unimaginable then it is Messi and it is safe to assume that he will be breathing down the neck of an old adversary if another piece of sporting history proves to be out of reach. | https://www.goal.com/en-om/news/how-many-champions-league-goals-lionel-messi-catch-cristiano/blt7e834493236de8a6 | 2022-09-02T14:29:11Z | https://www.goal.com/en-om/news/how-many-champions-league-goals-lionel-messi-catch-cristiano/blt7e834493236de8a6 | false | 10 |
Ever since Kim Dixon went to shiatsu school in 2015, she gained more awareness surrounding the importance of what she puts into her body.
Now as a shiatsu practitioner and co-owner of Wellspring on Main in Douglassville, she gravitates toward organically grown produce and products. But her main focus when it comes to healthy eating is the home garden she shares with her boyfriend, Ken Kaas, at their home in North Coventry Township.
“I have a love for watching these things grow and tending to them,” Dixon said. “Tending to your body and your plants is the same thing — they contribute to your overall well-being.”
She gets a sense of satisfaction in growing her own food.
“Tending to plants as seedlings, every morning and every night, the attention to what you’re doing really makes a difference,” she said.
DIxon values the importance of eating things in their whole food state and said it’s about understanding the power that these types of foods can have on the body as a medical medium that can heal the body.
“Your body loses that ability to identify and utilize food properly if it has been processed,” she said. “Using the whole form is definitely better.”
A desire to grow things
After a year of dating, she and Kaas discussed gardening and a desire to grow things.
“I told her, ‘this is where I’d like to have a garden’ and she told me she liked to weed,” Kaas said. “So I went right out and got the tiller.”
Two growing seasons later and they are having fun engaging in a shared love of growing all types of unusual varieties, including heirlooms, in their garden space they still consider to be a work in progress.
The attention to detail behind every aspect as to how it was laid out is clear upon entering the garden. A fountain located in the center adds a courtyard feel to its layout of ten raised beds that are lined with Belgian blocks.
They have a drip irrigation system and use composted soil for growing.
“A lot of hard work and hours have gone into this,” Kaas said, adding one of his next garden projects will focus on laying bricks on all of the pathways located between all of the raised beds.
Deep-rooted love of plants
A former certified horticulturist with The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society for 12 years, Kaas has a deep-rooted love of plants. From artichokes to heirloom tomatoes and all varieties of peppers to leeks, Kaas has been enjoying what comes out of the fruits of their labor when it comes to how they use what they harvest in the kitchen.
“Kim is a great cook,” he said. “I think eating the vegetables, they are more filling and heavier. She cut down on my red meat and I actually lost 20 pounds.”
Dixon recently made a scalloped salsify and leek casserole dish for a family picnic which received rave reviews. She made the cream sauce using white cheddar cheese and topped the casserole with panko bread crumbs.
“Salsify is a cross between a carrot and a parsnip,” she said. “It is more British and you can use the tops and the root.”
They grow more than the two of them can eat, so they share it. Next year they hope to set up a farmstand to sell it to the community.
“I bring them into the studio,” Dixon said of extra produce they have on hand. “One of my students texted me and said, ‘these are the best tomatoes I ever
Kaas takes some of their bounties to work at a heavy equipment contracting company.
“We grew silver watermelon, which is white watermelon, and it was hot and the guys are like, ‘you can eat this right down to the rind’,” he said.
Abundance of tomatoes
Right now they have a lot of heirloom tomatoes, such as Black Beauty, and Chinese Long Beans, which are green beans that are 12-inches to 16-inches in length, coming in. Dixon shared the main way she utilizes their abundance of tomatoes.
“One of my clients gave me a recipe for a slow roast with olive oil and herbs on top,” she said.
She explained that she harvests tomatoes of all sizes and then cores them before cutting them in half. Removing their skin is optional. She then places the halved tomatoes face up on a baking sheet and generously drizzles olive oil over them. Next, she sprinkles some freshly minced garlic on top and a variety of freshly chopped herbs based on what she has grown, such as oregano, thyme, basil and parsley.
“You roast it for about four and a half hours at 275 degrees to 325 degrees,” she said.
What they don’t eat the day she roasts them, she places them in bags to freeze and use at a later time, such as recently when she made three batches to use up their excess of ripe tomatoes.
Her favorite way to serve the roasted tomatoes is to accompany them with fish.
“I cook it with white fish, like flounder,” Dixon said. “I will cook the fish with the tomatoes and serve it with brown rice. Sometimes I will place the fish in foil with the tomatoes on top and cook it on the grill.”
Another way they use up ripened tomatoes is to dehydrate them.
“We put the sundried tomatoes in little glass mason jars and we’ll have them in the wintertime,” Kaas said.
Change of season
With the change of season coming up, Dixon is spending time right now figuring out what seeds she wants to plant. Their grow lights and movable hoop houses which are customized to go over their raised beds, enable them to grow throughout the winter months.
“I’ll probably do lettuces and several different varieties of arugula — we do some wasabi arugula — and I want to do some more beets,” Dixon said.
For now, they have some regular visitors to the garden who enjoy picking what is currently growing.
“Our grandchildren come over and like to go out to the garden and they eat the tomatoes raw,” he said. “They love them.”

Best eczema cream: Soothe sensitive, itchy skin

The best eczema creams to moisturise and ease eczema irritation
For those dealing with eczema, finding a cream that can manage the symptoms is crucial. Without a proper eczema treatment, your life can be overtaken by the irritation of dry, irritated skin with rashes, bumps or even scaly and leathery spots. This can harm not only physical health, but mental health too.
First and foremost, eczema is a medical condition that will most likely need treatment from a dermatologist or a doctor. If you suffer from the condition, it’s best to consult your GP before trying over-the-counter recommendations. While these creams can help soothe sore skin, they won’t be a cure.
If you’re after respite, there are many creams available on the market that can ease the symptoms of eczema. The important thing to remember about finding the pinnacle of eczema creams is that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Everyone has unique skin, symptoms and needs. It can feel like a game trying to determine which ingredients will help and which make things worse, but once you find the right cream it can make a world of difference.
While the trial and error can be frustrating, we’ve got six recommendations to help narrow down your options.

Best eczema creams: At a glance
- Best overall eczema cream: CeraVe Healing Ointment
- Best eczema cream for inflammation: Aquaphor Advanced Therapy
- Best eczema cream for the face: Eucerin AtoControl Face Care Cream
- Best eczema cream for all ages: La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+M
- Best eczema cream for itchy skin: Aveeno Dermexa Emollient Cream
- Best eczema cream with natural ingredients: HydraNure Dry Skin Cream
How to choose the best eczema cream
When choosing a cream, there are features to look for that make it eczema-friendly.
What features should I look for in a good eczema cream?
When it comes to eczema, it’s actually more about looking for a lack of ingredients. You want an eczema cream to be as simple as possible. For example, look for:
- Fragrance-free: The best creams for eczema won’t have any additives to make it smell appealing. Avoid creams that include perfumes, essential oils or even floral ingredients such as lavender or chamomile. Keep in mind that unscented is not the same as fragrance-free. Unscented may still have fragrant ingredients (such as florals) that are masked so they no longer have a scent.
- Preservative-free: Also known as paraben-free, preservatives may show up in the ingredient list as methylparaben or butylparaben. They make creams last longer, but they can unfortunately contribute to inflammation as well.
- Exfoliating acids-free: Glycolic, salicylic and lactic acids can dry your skin and cause irritation, so these are best avoided by those who have eczema.
What ingredients are best for eczema?
- Emollients: This type of ingredient helps in repairing your skin. In particular, ceramides are helpful with eczema. They come from plant or animal fats and help improve the natural fats in your skin, and include ingredients such as cocoa butter, coconut oil and shea butter.
- Humectants: These help bring moisture into your skin. Humectants can draw water from the air and bind to it, pulling it deep into your skin. Look for aloe vera or glycerin. Keep in mind that, on their own, humectants can sometimes cause stinging or burning. For eczema, they’re best when combined with other soothing ingredients.
- Occlusives: After humectants bring moisture into your skin, occlusives lock the moisture in. This ingredient prevents moisture loss from evaporation, sealing it into place. These ingredients include coconut oil, mineral oil and petroleum jelly.
Other considerations
If you’re having trouble finding relief for your eczema, regular creams might not be the right choice. Some people need a prescription steroid cream to properly soothe flare-ups and irritation.

The best eczema creams to buy in 2022
1. CeraVe Healing Ointment: The best overall eczema cream
Price: £18 | Buy now from AmazonThis product is accepted by the National Eczema Association in the US and is highly regarded as a source of relief from symptoms. The CeraVe Healing Ointment was developed alongside dermatologists to help protect dry, cracked and flaking skin as well as soothe discomfort.
The formula is non-greasy, so there’s no residue or difficulty rubbing it in. Its active ingredient is petrolatum, or petroleum jelly, so this product will seal the moisture into your skin.
This healing ointment is made with three essential ceramides, which help to heal and protect the skin’s natural barrier. It is fragrance-, preservative- and dye-free, so it’s much less likely to cause skin irritation. It’s also non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. While it’s marketed for dry skin, this product is suitable for all skin types, and can be used on the body, hands and face. Overall, it’s one of the most recommended products to help with eczema relief.
Key details – Skin type: Dry; Size: 5oz
2. Aquaphor Advanced Therapy Healing Ointment: The best eczema cream for inflammation
Price: £14 | Buy now from AmazonThis dermatologist-recommended product is specifically designed to benefit sensitive skin. It helps repair dry and cracked skin, bringing it back to its smooth and moisturised glory.
This Aquaphor ointment is not only great for your skin, it also helps dry, chapped lips. It’s fragrance- and preservative-free, so is less likely to cause skin irritation. That said, it does include lanolin alcohol, which some people may be sensitive to, so be sure to test on a small patch of skin before applying liberally.
If you’re prone to inflammation, the emollients in this healing ointment may help. The active ingredient is petrolatum, but it also includes mineral oil and glycerin. Together, these ingredients may repair the skin’s barrier as well as lock in moisture. This can ultimately help soothe inflammation when your eczema flares up.
Key details – Skin type: Dry to extremely dry, sensitive; Size: 3.5oz
3. Eucerin AtoControl Face Care Cream: The best eczema cream for the face
Price: £16 | Buy now from BootsThe AtoControl line of Eucerin products is designed with eczema-prone skin in mind and is perfect for daily use. The Face Care Cream uses a high concentration of ingredients such as evening primrose oil and grape seed oil.
These omega fatty acids pair with licorice extract to soothe and restore your skin, improving its natural barrier and strengthening it. This cream has no fragrances, dyes or parabens so the risk of irritation is minimised. It’s so gentle that it has been approved for use on children and even babies with skin irritation.
With a solid mix of emollients, humectants and occlusives in the ingredient list, you can be sure that your face will feel the benefit.
Key details – Skin type: Dry; Size: 50ml
4. La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+M: The best eczema cream for all ages
Price: £21 | Buy now from BootsA well-known name in the world of skincare, La Roche-Posay offers products that are not only suitable for eczema-prone skin, but designed for infants as young as two weeks old.
The Lipikar AP+M (aqua posae plus microresyl) formula can significantly reduce itching and the frequency of inflammation. Aqua posae helps to rebalance the skin’s microbiome while shea butter repairs the skin’s barrier. Add La Roche-Possay’s thermal spring water for irritation prevention, and you have a well-rounded cream that provides long-lasting comfort and moisture.
The formula is as minimalist as possible. It’s paraben- and fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. The company claims that clinical tests for the formula not only showed reduced itching and prolonged time between flare-ups, but an improvement in sleep and overall quality of life. Since it’s usable on the face and body, for all genders and ages, it’s a perfect choice to help your whole family stay moisturised and comfortable.
Key details – Skin type: Dry to very dry; Size: 400ml
5. Aveeno Dermexa Emollient Cream: The best eczema cream for itchy skin
Price: £11 | Buy now from BootsThis lightweight emollient cream still packs a punch when used on dry, itchy skin. One benefit it touts that others on this list don’t mention is that it’s fast-absorbing. Once you put it on, there’s no dancing around waiting for it to soak in before you get dressed.
The cream is unscented and has a great ingredient list, including glycerin, ceramides and petrolatum. The company’s big brag on this product, however, is the Prebiotic Triple Oat Complex.
This complex includes colloidal oatmeal, oat oil and oat essence. Oats naturally include vitamins, proteins and lipids that help soothe skin, lock in moisture and – most importantly – act as an anti-irritant. It’s this feature that helps to calm the itching and reduce flare-ups.
This cream is accepted by the US National Eczema Association and can improve your skin’s appearance in as little as a week.

Idrissa Gueye and James Garner are both available to make their Everton debuts in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool on Saturday.
Both Gueye and Garner joined the Blues on deadline day as Frank Lampard moved to strengthen his midfield options. The Blues had been in advanced talks over bringing Gueye back to the club since the start of last month, while Garner joined from Manchester United for an initial fee of £9m.
Gueye was the reigning players' player of the season at Everton when PSG signed him for just under £30m back in the summer of 2019. And Lampard has revealed that the pair are eligible for Saturday's matchday squad, as is Neal Maupay, who was unable to be registered for the 1-1 draw at Leeds United last time out due to Premier League requirements.

He said: "Gana Gueye is a player for now, of course. The club knows him very well and he knows the club.
"In terms of his qualities, he's a deeper-lying midfield player - a number six or number eight, which he's been doing at PSG a lot. He gives me a great option and great experience. He's a different profile of player to what we've got, so I'm really, really pleased with that one.
"Then, with James Garner, on the flip of the strategy [we applied to the signing of Gana Gueye], he's a young player with lots of energy and lots of quality. He'll improve with us - and improve us.
"I think it's a good example of us trying to move forward in a sensible direction, improving the team, improving the core of the team in midfield - getting energy in there, as well as quality.
"No, we've got good competition in there as well, which is important, of course, with a long season."
Lampard also revealed that Abdoulaye Doucoure completed his first training session on Friday after overcoming a hamstring problem, but is not expected to return to the Blues’ matchday squad for Saturday's game at Goodison Park.
While Mason Holgate, Yerry Mina, Ben Godfrey, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Andros Townsend all remain sidelined. But one man who is expected to be in the Everton squad for Saturday's clash is Anthony Gordon, who remained at the club despite continued speculation linking him with a move to Chelsea.
Chelsea had held talks with Everton over a £60 million move for the 21-year-old but Lampard has continued to play Gordon and was rewarded with goals against Brentford and Leeds United.
“I was pretty cool about that all the way through because you asked me a lot about it, but from the early days, the talks, I was very understanding of where we wanted it to go,” Lampard replied when asked about Gordon.
“It never got close really in my opinion to happening and I think that has been great because it has shown where we are coming from.
“It has also shown in Anthony’s performances where he is at mentally and as a player and we move on. I am really happy.”

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The urgency of treating chronic wounds and foot ulcers cannot be ignored. In recognition of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Awareness Month, Healogics® is empowering patients living with PAD, to seek timely wound care treatment critical for optimal healing and reducing the risk of amputations.
Nearly 10 million people in the United States are living with PAD, affecting 1 in 5 people over the age of 60. Of those living with late-stage PAD, 25% may require an amputation within one year.
It can be a painful condition caused by a blockage in the arteries to the legs. Just like blockages in the heart's vessels, PAD is caused by a buildup of plaque and fatty material on the inner walls of the arteries in the extremities. Not only does PAD make it difficult to walk, especially when wounds are present, but is a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
"It's important to seek medical attention if you suspect you have PAD. Be aware of what your symptoms are and let your primary care physician know to check for PAD. Since PAD is such a prevalent problem that oftentimes goes undiagnosed, request a non-invasive and painless test called ankle brachial index (ABI). This is the first step to understanding how much blockage in the arteries is present and what the level of risk may be. Without the blood flow to wounded areas, necrosis develops and if left untreated, amputation may be the only recourse," said Healogics Chief Medical Officer, Dr. William Ennis.
Do not dismiss leg pain as part of growing old and seek care if you have these symptoms:
- Pain or cramps in the back of leg while walking or exercising
- Lower legs and feet that are cool to touch or that have shiny skin
- Legs and feet appear pale when raised and bluish/purplish when hanging down
- Numbness or tingling in the feet and legs
- A sore or wound on the toes, legs or feet that does not heal
There are 40% of those living with PAD that may not experience symptoms or leg pain until a wound becomes resistant to heal. The specialized care provided by Wound Care Centers® can reduce healing times, increase healing rates and significantly lower amputation risks.
"Treatment delays and the staggering increase in amputations drive us to work harder to improve awareness and access to advanced wound care. Any untreated wound is at risk for complications. Far too often we see patients who have developed a wound and may not have experienced pain because the neuropathy prevented the pain response. Many people do not realize that clogged arteries in the legs can be a warning sign of PAD and 82% of leg amputations are due to poor circulation of the affected limb. One of the most significant warning signs of PAD is foot ulcers that do not heal, specifically in people living with diabetes. Throughout September, we seek to educate our communities and health care providers to improve access to wound care for all that need it," said Healogics Chief Executive Officer, David Bassin.
If you or someone you care for is at risk for PAD and has a wound that is not healing, find a Center near you today. For more information, visit Healogics.com.
Headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla., Healogics is the nation's wound healing expert. Last year over 300,000 patients received advanced wound care through a network of over 600 Wound Care Centers. Healogics also partners with over 300 skilled nursing facilities to care for patients with chronic wounds and provides inpatient consults at more than 60 partner hospitals. As the industry leader, Healogics has the largest repository of chronic wound-specific patient data in the country. The Healogics Wound Science Initiative offers peer-reviewed research and advanced analytics in the pursuit of not only better outcomes but a better way to provide care.

Transfer: Striker finally leaves Chelsea after Aubameyang’s arrival
Chelsea striker, Michy Batshuayi has finally left Stamford Bridge.
The striker has not played for Thomas Tuchel’s side for the past two seasons.
The Belgium international has completed a move to Turkish giants, Fenerbahce.
The Belgian striker was on the cusp of joining Nottingham Forest but the Blues did not submit the paperwork in time and Batshuayi’s time in England is over.
Chelsea signed Batshuayi for £35m in 2016 from Marseille and has now departed Stamford Bridge.
The Belgian stands no chance of playing under Thomas Tuchel following the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/09/02/transfer-striker-finally-leaves-chelsea-after-aubameyangs-arrival/ | 2022-09-02T15:13:33Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/09/02/transfer-striker-finally-leaves-chelsea-after-aubameyangs-arrival/ | false | null |
A dog has taken the internet by storm and dubbed "real-life Clifford" due to its enormous size and its thick layer of fur coat.
Video showing the gigantic Alaskan malamute, which weighs over 11 stone, sits on top of a table while a groomer is getting ready to give it a wash.
While the groomer is brushing the fur, he looks completely dwarfed by the husky lookalike.
READ MORE: 'World's biggest cat' stands as tall as two-year-old child – but is a 'gentle giant'
Comparing to the size of the 2L Sprite bottle on the table, viewers were "in awe" to realise that the dog is massive in size.
"This giant Alaskan malamute is a selectively bred Malamute that exceeds 70kg in weight and 70cm of height, originally bred to pull heavy goods between cities throughout Alaska," they said in the caption.
"They have been recorded to pull loads up to 500kg (78 stone)."
Viewers were stunned and some suspected the video was edited to make the dog look massive.
One commented: "If that lad sat on your lap, you would disappear completely!"
"Definitely not a lap dog," a second reassured.
A third added: "You wouldn't need a doggy bag, you would need a doggy dump truck to pick up after it."
Some called it a "real-life Clifford the red big dog", with a man sharing: "I thought Clifford was fiction!"
"The dog is supposed to be red!" another referred to the dog in the movie of the same name.
Alaskan malamute is particularly popular in northern China due to the cold weather, the breed is descended from the Arctic wolf and is often mistaken as huskies.
Like all dogs, they love company and enjoy being challenged so they can use their intelligence.
A bored or lonely Malamute will wreak havoc on your house and garden. They can be challenging and need consistency and patience as well as constant exercise and lots of company.

Hundreds of people have donated thousands of pounds to help the partner and unborn baby of Bristol rapper Takayo Nembhard, who was killed in London after the Notting Hill Carnival on Monday.
The fundraiser has been set up by Chris Patrick, the manager of Takayo - who was better known as rapper TKorStretch.
The 21-year-old was stabbed an hour after the end of the carnival in London, and the Met Police have launched a murder investigation.

Tributes have been flooding in for Takayo, who was on the cusp of breaking a major music career and had big label interest.
But his death has devastated his friends and family - his parents took the trip from Bristol to west London to lay flowers at the scene of his murder near Ladbroke Grove station today, Friday, four days after he was attacked.
The talented 21-year-old’s partner, Oshian Edwards, paid tribute to him earlier this week, pledging to remind their baby son about his father as he grows up.
Within hours of the fundraiser being set up, it had topped £6,000 in donations, with Mr Patrick, TKorStretch’s manager, pledging that all the money raised will go to Takayo’s father Vincent, to help Oshian and their baby.
Mr Patrick told Bristol Live that TK’s murder had not yet sunk in. “I’ve experienced the deaths of people close to me in family before, but this is of a whole different magnitude for everyone involved, his family, his friends. You go through daily emotions and it’s so hard. Even writing the words for the GoFundMe page took me a couple of days and when I read it back, I broke down with uncontrollable tears,” he said.
Mr Patrick said that, as a father, he couldn’t imagine the pain that Takayo’s parents are going through, and for Oshian, who is heavily pregnant with his son.
“Little TK will never have the opportunity to know his father, and Takayo will tragically never meet his little baby boy,” he said.
“Writing this breaks my heart, as nothing is more beautiful than seeing your first child grace the world with his or her first muted cry of hello. This moment has been taken from Takayo.
“Fundraising is not ordinarily something we do in the black community, but I do this because TK’s talent was endless and I can tell you guys he was close to greatness! He had three albums ready to go, and the powers that be were keenly watching. His turn was coming!
“So whatever we raise, will go to his family to help raise his child and help Oshian through what will be a very difficult process of raising a child on her own. As I have previously stated, Takayo came to London from Bristol, to simply have a good time at the London carnival with his family and friends with the same enthusiasm as the two million people who attended, and this is the end result.
“The effect of his murder will last a life time. His mother, father, siblings, family and friends are inconsolable,” he added.

CHICAGO (NewsNation) — Amid months of mass flight cancellations and delays, the number of Americans traveling for Labor Day is expected to rebound to pre-pandemic levels.
An estimated 137 million Americans are expected to hit the highways, byways and airways this weekend, according to AAA.
Domestic travel is up 20% compared to 2019, according to Hopper, but headaches that hit travelers earlier in the summer are still lingering.
“Get in that line — while you’re in the line, get on the phone, get that airline representative on the phone or travel agent on the phone to help you simultaneously. You never know who you’re gonna get first, the faster you’ll get a seat on the next flight out,” said Abby Estevez, a travel advisor.
But help for vacationers may be on the way this travel-heavy weekend. The Department of Transportation has launched a customer service dashboard on Thursday.
The dashboard is part of an extended pressure campaign from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has publicly challenged the major carriers to improve service and transparency after a summer marred by cancellations and flight delays. As summer travel returned to nearly pre-coronavirus pandemic levels, airlines struggled to keep pace, with mass cancellations being blamed on staffing shortages, particularly among pilots.
The dashboard compares all the major domestic airlines’ policies on issues such as which offer meals for delays of more than three hours and which offer to rebook flights on the same or different airlines at no additional charge. It focuses on what it calls “controllable” cancellations or delays, meaning those caused by mechanical issues, staffing shortages or delays in cleaning, fueling or baggage handling. Delays or cancellations caused by weather or security concerns don’t count.
Buttigieg asked airlines, at a minimum, to provide meal vouchers for delays of three hours or more, and lodging for anyone who has to wait overnight because of a delay within the airlines’ control.
The Department of Transportation is hoping that the dashboard will encourage competition among airlines to offer the most transparency and the best protections for customers.
So far this year, airlines have canceled about 146,000 flights, or 2.6% of all flights, and nearly 1.3 million flights have been delayed, according to tracking service FlightAware. The rate of cancellations is up about one-third from the same period in 2019, before the pandemic, and the rate of delays is up nearly one-fourth.
Federal officials have blamed many of the disruptions on understaffing at airlines, which encouraged employees to quit after the pandemic started. The airlines have countered by blaming staffing problems at the Federal Aviation Administration, which employs air traffic controllers.
Meanwhile, if you plan to hit the road, expect to pay less at the pump. Gas buddy reports that the average price of gas is $3.89 per gallon, and it will continue to drop.

Addicted to your phone? It could be the reason you’re struggling to get it up, experts claim
TOO much social media can wreck your sex life, research reveals.
Blokes addicted to the networking apps are more likely to struggle to get it up, while women have lower sex drive.
Both partners find it more difficult to orgasm if they are hooked on social media, found a study by Instituto Universitário in Portugal.
Study author Dr Rui Miguel Costa said: “Ironically, using social media very frequently might make one feel more isolated from others – sometimes from the partner.
“If one feels emotionally distanced from the partner, sexual function is more likely to be impaired.”
Experts quizzed 1,166 people about their sex lives and how much they used smartphones and social media.
Those who spent a “problematic” amount of time on sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram had more trouble in the bedroom.
Women found it more difficult to get in the mood, suffered more pain after a romp and were less happy with their sex lives.
Men’s libido stayed the same but they battled erectile dysfunction and felt unsatisfied, compared to people spending less time online.
Writing in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the researchers said: “Problematic use of online social networks appears to be associated with sexual difficulties.”
A massive 97 per cent of UK adults who go online use social sites like Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram, Ofcom figures show.
Brits spent an average of half an hour a day on Facebook alone in 2020.

Experts worry social sites are bad for people’s mental health and disrupt sleep.
Dr Costa told Psypost: “It is beneficial to reduce the use of social media if it often interferes with daily activities, work, sleep and personal relationships.” | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/health/9398868/social-media-addiction-bad-sex-life/ | 2022-09-02T15:32:25Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/health/9398868/social-media-addiction-bad-sex-life/ | false | 3 |
The recent statement by Ohanaeze Ndigbo calling for the Federal Government’s intervention in the travail of Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, in London revives some hope that the Igbo philosophy of “Onye aghana nwanne ya” (all for one, one for all).
The Ohanaeze plea came on the heels of Attorney General and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami’s declaration that the Federal Government would not intervene in the Ekweremadus’ legal battle in the UK, claiming that it was never Nigeria’s tradition to intervene when her citizens are caught up in criminal legal issues overseas.
It was therefore reassuring to read Ohanaeze reel out a recent instance where the President Muhammadu Buhari administration successfully intervened in the case of a Nigerian lady from Jigawa State caught up in a drug-related legal debacle in Saudi Arabia, and many instances where nations such as the UK and U.S.A, intervened or are presently intervening in the matters of their citizens standing trial in foreign lands.
Ohanaeze also predicated their call on cultural relativism, Nigeria’s enduring good relations with the UK, and the fact that all persons involved in the kidney saga are Nigerians. Cultural relativism connotes that the norms and values of one culture should not be evaluated using the norms and values of another. Ohanaeze believes that the fact that Ekweremadu wrote the UK High Commission in Nigeria to support the young man’s medical visa application, and also made full disclosure of the donor’s mission and down to the hospital were clear indications that he acted in good faith and without any willful intent to breach any law.
One also aligns with Ohanaeze that the Federal Government cannot in good conscience intervene in the matter concerning Zainab Kila in Saudi Arabia who faced execution and decline to intervene in Ekweremadu’s matter.
Besides, Ekweremadu is a patriot, who has served Nigeria meritoriously in very high capacities. And love or hate him, he exemplifies how a citizen could love his people and still love his country. Amid Biafra separatist agitations, which climaxed under the present administration, Ekweremadu is one Igbo leader, who has continually condemned the injustice to Ndigbo, but has nevertheless maintained that Ndigbo should be better off a united, but just and restructured Nigeria.
His treatise “Biafra: The Legal, Political, Economic, and Social Questions” which was published by Thisday Newspaper in 2017 captures his intellectual and quite pragmatic thoughts on the matter. It is worth reading. It resonates in the Awka Declaration of the 2018 Igbo Summit and the 2nd “The Sunday Newspaper” (TSM) Diamond Lecture delivered by Ezigbo Gburugburu, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in Lagos on February 22, 1994.
But his stand notwithstanding, Ekweremadu led the South East Senate Caucus, which included the likes of Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe and the late erudite Senator Uche Chukwumerije, to a meeting with the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in July 2007 to secure the release of the Leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, who was earlier arrested and detained by the Chief Olusegun Obasanjo administration. It was also at that meeting that Yar’Adua approved an international airport for the region deliberately blockaded from direct access to the world post-civil war.
Unfortunately, the separatist agitations were revived by exclusionist tendencies of the Buhari administration towards the South East over their electoral choice and the arrest and detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. To worsen matters, military crackdown was adopted over and above dialogue. In November 2016, Amnesty International’s report stated that “The Nigerian security forces, led by the military, embarked on a chilling campaign of extrajudicial executions and violence resulting in the deaths of at least 150 peaceful pro-Biafra protesters in the southeast of the country”.
“Analysis of 87 videos, 122 photographs, and 146 eyewitness testimonies relating to demonstrations and other gatherings between August 2015 and August 2016 consistently shows that the military fired live ammunition with little or no warning to disperse crowds. It also finds evidence of mass extrajudicial executions by security forces, including at least 60 people shot dead in the space of two days in connection with events to mark Biafra Remembrance Day”, Amnesty stated.
Ekweremadu was one of the few courageous Igbo leaders, who rose stoutly in condemnation of the crackdown, advocating civil approach. At the floor of the Senate on May 31, he called the attention of his colleagues to the military crackdown that resulted in the death of many unarmed Igbo youths around Onitsha and Asaba during the Biafra Day celebration the previous day.
He told the Senate: “I will like to use this opportunity to say that the security agencies must apply caution in trying to quell disturbances. We have had so much blood bath in this country under different circumstances and we cannot continue to lose young men and women because the future of this country belongs to them.
“It is important that this Senate rises to condemn any act of killing in any part of this country. We are now in a democracy and people should be entitled to speak their minds and to assemble under responsible circumstances”.
In November 2016, Ekweremadu led South East Senators to meet President Buhari to find a political solution to Kanu’s case and douse tension in the region. Through silent, but deft diplomatic interventions, Kanu was released in April 2017 and I am aware that Osita Chidoka, who was also involved in the whole arrangement for Kanu’s bail, chauffeured the IPOB leader to Ekweremadu’s residence where he met with the lawmaker and other South East Senators to appreciate them for rallying for his freedom. Ekweremadu’s strategic effort was partly captured by Thisday’s report, entitled: “How Ekweremadu Rallied Igbos to Meet Kanu’s Bail Term”.
I know because I was privy to the arrangement from the outset. I was also among the Igbo professionals (under the auspices of Nzuko Umunna), who visited Nnamdi Kanu in detention on May 16, 2016, and thereafter addressed a press conference calling for his release. That delegation was led by Prof. Charles Soludo, now governor of Anamabra State, and included Prof. Pat Utomi, Dr. Udenta Udenta, Dr. Sam Amadi, Ferdie Agu, Emeka Ugwuoju, the late Innocent Chukwuma, Tony Nnadi, and humble me.
I recall he also did an open letter to President Buhari in September 2017, urging him to call off the Operation Python Dance and embrace dialogue to douse tension in the South East.
Even though Ekweremadu sees his interventions as a duty he owes his people and keeps them under the table, I recall that Abaribe was forced to bare it all after Ekweremadu was attacked in Germany.
Abaribe described the attack as “a brazen show of ingratitude to a man, who has been at the forefront in the struggle for all that is good for the Igbo race”, adding that “Obviously, this is not how to repay a man… who has given his all, even going as far as deploying his means to arrange for the bail of Nnamdi Kanu, not minding the repercussions to his illustrious political career”.
That notwithstanding, Ekweremadu was at the forefront of the quest for a political solution to Kanu’s present travail until London issue. Besides holding back-channel meetings and rallying South East National Assembly Caucus, he led Igbo representatives like Abaribe, Bishop Sunday Onuoha, and Ohanaeze Ndigbo national scribe (Amb. Okey Emuchay) to visit Kanu in the Department of State Security custody.
When Olisa Metuh was arrested, subjected to a dehumanising trial, and brought to court in handcuffs for doing his work as opposition spokesperson, Ekweremadu was among the few Igbo and party men, who stood surety for him. Metuh said so himself in a recent Facebook post after attending Ekweremadu’s July 7 trial in London.
Ekweremadu also ventured into the Economic and Financial Crimes’ custody at the height of Ibrahim Magu’s political misuse of the agency to show solidarity to his party men like Reuben Abati, Femi Fani Kayode, Senator Musliu Obanikoro, and Senator Bala Mohammed (now governor of Bauchi State). This he did at a time he and his boss and Senate President at the time, Dr. Bukola Saraki, were facing political tribulations and trumped-up charges to kick them out of office.
On several occasions, Ekweremadu deployed his international goodwill as former Speaker of ECOWAS Parliament to successfully push for the reopening of the shops of Nigerian traders in Ghana.
Regrettably, I am not convinced that his party and Igbo leaders have rallied round him as they ought to, and the Nigerian government appears too placid and complacent.
No doubt, Ohanaeze deserves commendation for reminding the Nigerian government that there is nothing in Ekweremadu’s matter that is beyond diplomatic intervention if the political will is there and that it could not treat citizens differently based on where they come from. But the truth is that Ikeoha Ndigbo deserves more than press statements at this juncture. Were it to be another Igbo leader, Ekweremadu would have been sleepless, practically everywhere, rallying forces, addressing the press, organising meetings with the President, Malami, and those that matter, and doing the diplomatic rounds to find a way.
Ndigbo have a saying that it is the wailing of a bereaved family that triggers wailing by the rest of the community. Not many people cry more than the bereaved in Nigeria. So, I dare to ask: Where are the South East governors? Where especially are the Igbo governors that are the President’s party men? Where is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama? Where is the cream of the Igbo political leaders, traditional rulers, clergies, and elders? Why the deafening silence, as if the cloth being devoured by a goat does not belong to anybody?
Igbo leaders, irrespective of political and personal persuasions should never look the other way, especially given the emerging facts and for the reason that all the people involved in the London saga are all Ndigbo. Need one also remind that a servant, who watches a fellow servant interred in a shallow grave, should never hope for a befitting burial himself?

Anthony Gordon: Everton forward's move to Chelsea 'never close', says Frank Lampard
Last updated on .From the section Everton
Everton boss Frank Lampard said Anthony Gordon's potential move to Chelsea "never got close to happening" during the summer transfer window.
Gordon was the subject of a £40m bid from Chelsea, who were reportedly considering a second offer after the first was rejected.
The Everton academy graduate, 21, has scored two goals in his last two games and manager Lampard says he is pleased to keep the forward.
"We are happy," he said on Friday.
"I was pretty cool about it all the way through because, from the early days of the talks, I was very understanding of where we wanted it to go," added Lampard.
"It never got close to happening and that is great because it has shown where we are coming from and it shows where Anthony is mentally as a player.
"We move on."
While fending off interest for Gordon, Everton signed a couple of midfielders, with Senegal international Idrissa Gueye rejoining the Toffees from Paris St-Germain, and James Garner moving from Manchester United.
Lampard added: "I am very pleased. I'm pleased the window is shut and it has probably complicated it slightly being so far into the season. I think we were strategic with how we have approached it, from owner to chairman to board.
"Hopefully that reflects in what we get now. When I look at the squad I'm happy now it's time to get our heads down and work.
"Idrissa Gueye is a player for the now. The club know him very well and he knows the club. In terms of the quality as a deeper-lying midfielder he gives me a different profile of player.
"With James Garner, he is a young player with lots of energy and quality and he will improve us. I think it's a sensible move for us. We have good competition in there as well and that is important over the course of the season."
Everton face Liverpool on Saturday in Lampard's first Merseyside derby at Goodison Park - and he understands the importance of the occasion.
"I have a lot of respect for [Liverpool manager] Jurgen Klopp," said the Everton boss.
"As managers you want to be winners and you have to be on a certain edge but you have to be respectful. You shake hands before the game, you do your job during the game and hopefully you shake hands after that. I understand what the derby means and I will stand up to do my job.
"I was fortunate enough to take part in a lot of London derbies as a player, but when you talk about Liverpool, the city is 50/50. It ramps up the intensity for the fans. It's my first at Goodison Park and we have to match the passion they will turn up with."

Between the walls of his modest two-bedroom apartment in Sunset Park, Fabian Bravo has watched his family grow.
He’s seen his three children go from infants to toddlers to teens. Pictures of his family, children’s drawings and kind notes from teachers and friends line the walls. This apartment, and the neighborhood along the bay in Brooklyn, are a source of comfort for him, the family’s home base from which they’ve explored the city.
But now — as eviction proceedings paused during the coronavirus pandemic resume in New York — Bravo’s biggest fear is losing that home. His landlord has taken him to court in a bid to oust Bravo from his rent-stabilized home.
Bravo is not alone. The resumption of evictions, combined with a housing shortage and soaring rents, threatens families across the city with the possible loss of housing. In August, 431 households were thrown out of their home in the city. Currently, there are more than 250,000 active eviction cases in the state, according to Right to Council NYC.
“We’re looking at a crisis of mass proportions,” said Joel Feingold, a co-founder of the Crown Heights Tenants Union.
The federal and state eviction moratoriums and pandemic relief programs kept some of the thorniest features of the housing system at bay during the pandemic. Now, as rents continue to increase, low-income New Yorkers, who disproportionately suffered during the pandemic, are at risk of getting hit once again
New York’s eviction moratorium expired Jan. 15, 2022. While the number of actual evictions is still below pre-pandemic levels, eviction filings have picked up, bringing them back to pre-pandemic levels, according to state court data. The slow and steady uptick has raised questions for advocates and policymakers about the overall affordability of life in New York.
Bravo and other New Yorkers are already struggling to get back on their feet after the financial impact of COVID-19. The return of evictions jeopardizes that — and threatens, in the more dire cases, to force people into homelessness and an already overburdened shelter system.
“There’s a community,” Bravo said. “I’m with my children, with my wife. I love it, because my children were born here. We’re close to the parks, to public transport, to the schools that are teaching my children ... There are a lot of memories here.”
Gas, rent — or food?
Bravo’s eviction case traces back to the early days of 2020 — just before the coronavirus pandemic swept into New York.
Bravo’s landlord alleged that he didn’t sign the lease renewal. Bravo says he has proof he did, and that the landlord is trying to get his family out in order to jack up prices. The neighborhood is seeing a sharp increase in interest, according to a recent StreetEasy report, with the average rent for a similar apartment is $2,300, nearly double Bravos’ monthly rent
Soon after it was filed, Bravo’s case was put on pause.
But as COVID tightened its grip on New York, the death toll climbed and businesses shuttered their doors, the family found itself sliding deeper into trouble. Bravo lost his job working in a warehouse and his wife lost hers as a housekeeper, leaving the family without income for months. At best, Bravo was able to scrape together odd jobs to make enough money to get by, forcing them to ask tough questions: Gas, rent or food?
“We were without jobs during the pandemic,” Bravo said, in Spanish. “Also, the kids were doing school virtually. At the same time, we were worried about the case, in calling, trying to contact the lawyer, but even the lawyer didn’t know what was going to happen, when the next hearing was going to be. We were constantly worried.”
The family changed their diet to include cheaper staples such as potatoes, and relied on food donations boxes from Neighbors Helping Neighbors, a local advocacy group. Bravo’s sister-in-law died from COVID-19 in May 2020, making the situation even more difficult to cope with.
Bravo said home life got chaotic, with kids with cabin-fever bouncing around the apartment as others tried to focus on virtual school.
“It was difficult to adapt, with the children at home, not seeing their friends,” Bravo. “My son is very active. He always wants to jump around and run ... I had been at home for those months and I saw that he got depressed ... emotionally, I had a lot of concern.”
During that time, the family also fell eight months behind in rent, stirring fear that the landlord would layer a nonpayment case on top of the lease issue.
Navigating the system
Bravo fears he may lose his case — and has no idea where he and his family would go.
“It is complicated because we would have to look for another apartment far from where we live. Apartments today in this area where we live are between $2,000 and $3,000 a month. To pay the rental deposit and the rent, I’d have to have about $9,000 on hand.”
Like thousands of others in his situation, Bravo is trying to navigate a complicated legal system without help.
Under the 2017 Right To Counsel law that established a legal right to an attorney for tenants with incomes under 200 percent of the state’s poverty line when facing eviction, Bravo should have legal representation.
But staffing shortages and a rising wave of evictions have placed him on a very long line of tenants in similar positions.
Ever since January, the escalating number of cases has overwhelmed the tenant attorneys who provide counsel to tenants. There are more tenants who need representation, and, with an ongoing attorney shortage, fewer people to represent them. Even though tenants have a legal right to representation, it can be extremely difficult to get it.
Breaking News
Pressure from well-represented landlords and courts eager to move the backlog of cases along means that tenants like Bravo can be pressured to accept bad deals.
“I think possibly the owner will win the case and evict us,” Bravo said. “So if there are no attorneys to represent tenants like me, I would have to personally face the cost. And the owner has money and she can get a lawyer to represent her. She has a huge advantage as the owner of the building.”
An uncertain future
Bravo anxiously watches the mail for any official notices or updates. The family doesn’t know where they’ll go if they get kicked out.
Even in a best-case scenario, they’d have to pack their things and rip themselves from their community. Bravo is used to the stress: He’s been dealing with the case for more than two years. But he wonders if he’ll ever get legal representation, and his heart skips every time a letter arrives in the mail.
“Financially, we’re still not in a good place,” he said. “Obviously, there is a concern that we will be evicted from the apartment, and without any reason.”
His daughter is starting college — an opportunity neither he never had. But she doesn’t know if she’ll be able to stay in school if the family gets evicted.
“It’s very insecure,” Bravo said. “My daughter is thinking about the first day of school, but she’s worried if she’s going to be able to continue because we couldn’t be able to afford for her to continue in school. If we had to move out, we’d have to pay for any increases, so we’re not sure. That’s constantly on our minds, our children’s, thinking about this decision.” | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-evictions-resume-housing-uncertainty-sunset-park-20220902-pxz3c662r5cn5bmttzm7roppsm-story.html | 2022-09-02T15:36:12Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-evictions-resume-housing-uncertainty-sunset-park-20220902-pxz3c662r5cn5bmttzm7roppsm-story.html | true | 1 |

XENIA — Xenia Community Schools is holding a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off construction of the new Warner Middle School
The ceremony — set for 12 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8 — will feature speakers from the district and a member of the construction project team from SHP, the project architectural firm. Current leadership students from Warner Middle School, and a few members of the classes of 2030 and 2031 will also participate. The future students will be among the first classes to attend the new facility as sixth and seventh grade students.
“This project has been a long time coming, and we are incredibly excited to see real, physical change start to take place on the site,” said Superintendent Dr. Gabriel Lofton. “We hope the community is as excited as we are about the possibilities for Xenia students that this facility will create, and this event is a great way to commemorate the beginning of this historic project.”
The groundbreaking will take place directly adjacent to Warner Middle School, where the new building will be located. The event is in a covered area and will take place rain or shine.
“The construction fence is in place, and our middle school families are already getting used to the new one-way traffic flow past the building,” Lofton said. “In the coming weeks, they will begin to see movement in the restricted area, as the beginning phase of construction begins this fall.”
The new Warner Middle School is a $45 million investment in the future of Xenia students and the community, according to district officials. The state-of-the-art facility will provide the needed infrastructure for secondary education in Xenia schools, preparing students to chart their path forward into high school and beyond.
Featuring technology built with an eye on the future, the new WMS will accommodate the growing middle school population with flexible learning spaces designed to adapt to the needs of Xenia’s sixth-eighth grade students. To provide a modern, secure, and dynamic center of learning for the 1,000-plus students, the facility includes an academic wing with one floor dedicated to each grade, a multi-purpose student commons area, a regulation gymnasium, and more. | https://www.xeniagazette.com/news/56101/xcs-to-break-ground-on-new-warner | 2022-09-02T15:41:01Z | https://www.xeniagazette.com/news/56101/xcs-to-break-ground-on-new-warner | true | 1 |
Strollers recalled for fingertip amputation hazard
(Gray News) – Consumers were warned to immediately stop using recalled child strollers after a report that a child’s fingertip was amputated.
The recall involves all UPPAbaby all-terrain RIDGE jogging strollers, which have an extendable canopy with a mesh window and zipper pocket, disc hand brake system and an adjustable handlebar with a wrist strap.
The brand UPPAbaby is on the front of the stroller, and RIDGE is on the side of the stroller frame.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission stated the stroller’s rear disc brakes have openings that can cause amputation or laceration if a non-occupant child’s fingertip gets caught in the openings while the stroller is in use. Consumers should contact UPPAbaby to receive free replacement brake discs for both wheels.
About 14,400 of the strollers are being recalled. They were sold at BuyBuyBaby, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Pottery Barn Kids and other children’s stores and specialty stores nationwide. They also were sold online on Amazon from October 2021 through August 2022 for about $600.
The strollers have a black frame and a fabric color scheme that is white, charcoal or slate blue and have black tires. The serial numbers of the recalled products begin with “1401RDGUS” and appear on the right side of the stroller frame above the rear wheel of the stroller.
The model number “1401-RDG-US” is printed on the left side of the stroller frame above the rear wheel of the stroller.
For more information on recalls, go to CPSC.gov.

A roundup of some of the most popular but completely untrue stories and visuals of the week. None of these are legit, even though they were shared widely on social media. The Associated Press checked them out. Here are the facts:

Posts misrepresent Biden 2020 campaign committee filing
CLAIM: President Joe Biden has officially filed for reelection with the Federal Election Commission.
THE FACTS: Biden has not formally filed for reelection, social media users are misrepresenting an updated administrative document that was recently filed with the FEC by his principal 2020 presidential campaign committee. “BREAKING REPORT: (NOT PARODY) Joe Biden Has Officially Filed to RUN FOR RE-ELECTION in 2024,” one Twitter user wrote on Tuesday. The tweet was shared over 1,900 times. “Joe Robinette Biden has just officially filed for Reelection with the Federal Election Committee today - running again with Kamala Harris as his Vice President,” an Instagram user wrote, also on Tuesday. But Biden has not officially declared his candidacy for reelection, according to FEC filings. Biden’s principal campaign committee for the 2020 general election, titled Biden for President, filed a statement of organization form on Tuesday. But this form is different from a statement of candidacy form, which would indicate a candidate is officially running. “These claims that he’s declared for 2024 are flatly untrue based on these filings,” said Kenneth Mayer, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The new filing amended the committee’s statement of organization to “reflect new treasurer information,” said Judith Ingram, a spokesperson for the FEC. Presidential candidates file statements of candidacy for election cycles that they are participating in, and Biden has not filed such a form for the 2024 election cycle, she said. A Democratic National Committee official confirmed that the campaign committee’s filing is “not a re-election filing.” “This is just updating the form to change the treasurer name because the former treasurer is taking a government job,” the official said in an email. A candidate filing by the Biden campaign on the FEC website would be the "clearest indicator that Biden has ‘officially’ launched a reelection campaign,” Barry Burden, founding director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Elections Research Center, wrote in an email to the AP. But this hasn't happened yet. Candidates can also become official candidates in the eyes of the FEC if they raise or spend more than $5,000, according to the agency. The 2020 Biden campaign committee is still active to process minor financial transactions, which is similar to what other presidential campaigns have done, according to Burden.

UK didn’t change guidance on COVID vaccines and pregnancies
CLAIM: The U.K. government recently changed its COVID-19 vaccine guidance to advise against Pfizer’s shot for pregnant and breastfeeding people.
THE FACTS: The guidance has not changed. Social media users are misrepresenting a section of a summary report about Pfizer’s shot that was published by the U.K.’s medical regulatory agency in 2020. Posts circulating widely in recent days spread the false assertion that Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot isn’t safe for pregnancies and wrongly claimed that the U.K. government has conceded as much. “The UK now admits it’s not safe for pregnant women to get the vaccine,” reads a tweet that garnered more than 1,300 likes. But the U.K. government is in support of, not against, vaccinating pregnant people, health officials confirmed. The social media posts pointed to a screenshot of a “Toxicity conclusions” section from an online report titled, “Summary of the Public Assessment Report for COVID-19 Vaccine Pfizer/BioNTech.” That report was published by the U.K.’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in 2020 as part of the vaccine's initial authorization process and was last updated on Aug. 16. The “Toxicity conclusions” section suggested that those who were pregnant or breastfeeding not be vaccinated, but also said that the recommendations “reflect the absence of data at the present time and do not reflect a specific finding of concern.” However, that specific section was reflective of what was known nearly two years ago when the vaccine was first rolling out — and before additional data became available. “The text referred to in social media posts comes from the Public Assessment Report (PAR) which reflects our assessment at the time of approval for the vaccine (2 December 2020),” the MHRA said in a statement provided to The Associated Press. “Since then new data has come to light (both non-clinical and post-authorisation ‘real world’ data) which supports the updated advice on vaccinating those who are pregnant and breastfeeding.” An archived version of the same page from December 2020 also confirms that the “Toxicity conclusions” section has remained the same. The MHRA specifically notes elsewhere online that the COVID-19 vaccines, including Pfizer’s, are safe for those who are pregnant and breastfeeding. Dr. Victoria Male, a lecturer in reproductive immunology at Imperial College London, told the AP that the confusion appeared to stem from the Aug. 16 update to the Pfizer documents. But that change dealt with information on booster shots, she said, as a note on a connected page indicates. Male also said that the U.K. government’s advice on COVID-19 vaccines and pregnancies hasn’t changed. “Since April 2021, the UK government has offered the COVID vaccine during pregnancy,” Male said in an email. “Since December 2021, pregnancy has been considered a priority condition for vaccination, because we know that COVID infection in pregnancy can cause stillbirth and preterm birth, and that vaccination protects against these and is safe in pregnancy.” An independent advisory group, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, recommended in July that pregnant people who have been previously vaccinated be offered an autumn booster.

Video shows water tanker for bank, not Mississippi governor’s mansion
CLAIM: A video shows a tanker truck outside the governor’s mansion in Jackson, Mississippi, supplying the residence with water amid the city’s water crisis.
THE FACTS: The tanker, which is parked across the street from the governor’s mansion, is there as a standby solution for the headquarters of a bank at that location. In the six-second video, the tanker can be seen parked on North West Street in downtown Jackson before the camera pans across the street to the governor’s mansion. The widely-shared clip has sparked outrage among social media users as the city works to restore water pressure, while many residents remain reliant on water distribution centers. “There is currently no running water in Jackson, Mississippi,” one Twitter user wrote. “The heat index is over 100 degrees. Schools are closed. People can’t cook, clean, drink, or bathe. But at least @tatereeves has a giant water truck providing him with clean water at the governor’s mansion.” The tweet garnered nearly 8,000 shares and nearly 18,000 likes. But the water tanker is for the headquarters of Trustmark Bank, located across the street from the governor’s mansion, according to Danny Shows, president and CEO of 4D Solutions, the emergency preparedness company that provided the vehicle. He told the AP that “by no means" was the tanker delivering water to the governor’s mansion. Shows explained that the water tanker is a back-up solution for the building, in case Jackson’s downtown area completely loses water pressure. Melanie Morgan, director of corporate communications and marketing for Trustmark, confirmed that the bank brought in the water tanker for its building “out of abundance of caution.” She told the AP that the tanker does not contain potable drinking water and is intended for building services such as air conditioning and restroom facilities. “We’ve engaged a contractor to bring in the tanker for us in order to keep our building operational,” Morgan said, adding that the bank wants to be able to relieve pressure on the city’s water system if necessary. She confirmed that the water tanker remains at the bank’s headquarters next to the governor’s mansion, but said that because the building still has “more than adequate water pressure,” the tanker has not yet been used. Shelby Wilcher, Tates’ press secretary, wrote in an email to the AP that the water tanker “is not supporting the Governor’s Mansion or any other state assets.” She added that the residence gets its water from the Jackson water system and that many businesses have brought in their own tankers. Jackson’s water system partially failed early this week due to flooding that exacerbated long-standing problems in one of the city’s two water-treatment plants, the AP reported. Reeves declared a state of emergency in Jackson on Tuesday, while President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency in Mississippi as a whole the same day.

New York law doesn’t ban minors from buying whipped cream
CLAIM: A New York law that aims to crack down on nitrous oxide abuse makes it illegal for anyone under age 21 to purchase a can of whipped cream.
THE FACTS: The law doesn't apply to store-bought, disposable whipped cream cans, meaning customers of any age can still legally purchase canned whipped cream in New York stores without having to show identification. Social media users, news outlets and operators of grocery and convenience stores have in recent days misinterpreted a year-old New York law aimed at cracking down on recreational use of the gas nitrous oxide. Commonly called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is used as a sedative in some medical situations and can also be used as a whipping agent for culinary purposes. However, the gas is also often inhaled from metal cartridges — so-called “whippits” — to induce a euphoric effect, despite serious health risks. The New York law, which went into effect in November, attempted to make it harder for minors to access such cartridges by prohibiting New York businesses from selling the small, gas-containing metal capsules to anyone under 21. But language in the bill describing the cartridges as “whipped cream chargers” led to widespread confusion. “New York recently passed a state law that prohibits anyone under age 21 to purchase a can of whipped cream,” wrote one popular Twitter account. The post linked to a news article making the same claim, and was shared nearly 5,000 times. The claim was further spread through headlines and stories in dozens of news outlets as some grocery store operators recently began enforcing what they believed was language that required them to ask for identification before selling whipped cream canisters, such as Reddi-wip, to customers. However, the law doesn’t apply to these types of canisters, Sen. Joseph Addabbo, the Democrat who sponsored the bill, confirmed to the AP. “Anyone can buy, without being carded or ID’d, a can of Reddi-wip or any other canister of whipped cream,” Addabbo told the AP. “What a minor can’t buy is the two-inch whipped cream charger, or cartridge that is filled with nitrous oxide.” The bill amends New York general business law, and adds a new section that defines the term “whipped cream charger” as “a steel cylinder or cartridge filled with nitrous oxide, that is commonly used in a whipped cream dispenser.” Reusable whipped cream dispensers, like the ones found in restaurants or coffee shops, are powered by such metal cartridges. But those chargers are not found inside the disposable whipped cream cans that are sold in most grocery stores. Disposable whipped cream cans contain a combination of cream and nitrous oxide that’s expelled under pressure through the bottle’s nozzle.

Samantha Delcamp will spend up to 25 years in prison for her role in the death of her 3-year-old daughter in 2019.
In September, a Northumberland County jury found the 26-year-old Trevorton woman guilty of her part in Arabella Parker's death. Delcamp was sentenced on Friday to 12 to 25 years in prison.
Delcamp was scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 1, but the court granted a one-month continuance to Delcamp’s attorney Michael O’Donnell after the public defender asked for transcripts from the courts on his client.
The guilty verdicts — on involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of children — ended Delcamp’s two-day trial in May on the accusation she was an accomplice to the murder stemming from an incident in October 2019.

LUBBOCK, Texas (NEXSTAR/KLBK) – Barbara Munselle, the first “practice baby” to live on the campus of Texas Tech University in the mid-to-late-1930s, has died, the university announced on Wednesday.
Munselle, whose original surname was Hinsley, was born in Lubbock in the middle of the Great Depression in 1936. Her mother died in childbirth, and her father, who already had eight other children, was unable to take on the responsibilities of caring for her, according to the university.
She was instead given over to the care of Texas Tech thanks to a deal between the baby’s delivering physician and Suzanna Callan, then a professor of home economics at the university.
The baby, then just 2 weeks old, was to live in the school’s Home Management House, to be cared for by girls studying home economics, according to a Texas Tech Today blog post published in 2020.
“Motherless child of a local family, she has seven doting coeds to bathe her, warm her bottle and turn her on the other side when she cries,” the college wrote in a 1936 news release. “Diapers and baby dresses hang on the clothes-line in the back yard, visitors with colds are banned, and the best lead for conversation at the home economics building is, ‘How is the baby?’”
Barbara Ann, as the students named her, was soon nicknamed the school’s “practice baby.”
Munselle would later explain that Callan had hoped to adopt her, but her birth father didn’t approve. At the age of 3, she moved instead to a relative’s house, but Callan continued to visit and even brought the girl back to Lubbock for the summers.
Eventually, Barbara Ann moved back in with her father and siblings at the age of 13. She married and moved to California, where she resided in her later years.
“We are saddened to learn this evening of the death of Barbara Munselle,” Texas Tech University wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday. “Born in 1936, ‘Baby Barbara,’ as she was known then, was the very first ‘practice baby’ to live in the Texas Tech Home Management House, where female students learned how to run a household and even raise children.
“Our hearts go out to Barbara’s family,” the university added.
Speaking with Texas Tech Today in 2020, Munselle remarked that she was “very, very fortunate” to have been put into to the care of the university and its students.
“I had so much love and so much care,” she said.
Texas Tech would have other “practice babies” over the years, though none remained on-site for as long as Munselle, and some for only part of the day. The “practice baby” program ended by the 1970s.
The concept of a university “practice baby,” meanwhile, was not uncommon in the 1950s. Author and researcher Lisa Grunwald estimated that around 40 or 50 schools had such programs in place at the time, usually using babies from local orphanages, she told NPR in 2011.
“The practice houses really embraced the idea that you could learn mothering the same way you learned cooking or learned chemistry — everything was learnable, and systems were really important,” Grunwald told the outlet. | https://www.informnny.com/news/texas-tech-announces-passing-of-schools-first-practice-baby/ | 2022-09-02T16:04:45Z | https://www.informnny.com/news/texas-tech-announces-passing-of-schools-first-practice-baby/ | false | 21 |

Don't miss @imjadeja & @hardikpandya7 chatting post #TeamIndia's win against Pakistan
Coming soon on https://t.co/Z3MPyeKtDz 📹#AsiaCup2022 | #INDvPAK pic.twitter.com/BfiH5iHrYW
This knee injury has troubled Jadeja a lot in recent times, with him missing quite a few important series. Alongside fellow allrounder Hardik Pandya, the southpaw was one of the chief orchestrators of India’s five-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistanin the opening group game of the ongoing continental event.
At first, the fans thought it was some sort of prank because he had returned from injury only last month. But when they realised it was indeed true, they were left heartbroken because of the impact the allrounder created in the group stage of the competition.
Here’s how fans reacted:
Jadeja's knee injury needs to be dealt with once for all. Keeping him out too often. https://t.co/KtBB9CCJIP

Huge setback for team India, Jadeja's injuries have been more often in his prime hopefully he will be back for the world cup https://t.co/UcGPctDyEZ

Not what we wanted. Need to drop Klol now and play Pant https://t.co/o2tBYAFfuo

Jadeja’s presence allowed the management to play one batter less but they will have to alter their strategy. With him gone, there are high chances of the team management persisting with Rishabh Pant in the starting lineup.
India’s next encounter is on Sunday (Sep 4) against the winner of the last group game between Pakistan and Hong Kong. | https://www.mensxp.com/sports/cricket/116131-ravindra-jadeja-ruled-out-asia-cup-bcci-names-axar-patel-replacement.html | 2022-09-02T16:05:48Z | https://www.mensxp.com/sports/cricket/116131-ravindra-jadeja-ruled-out-asia-cup-bcci-names-axar-patel-replacement.html | true | 1 |
