Council leaders have submitted a new pay offer to unions following lengthy negotiations aimed at averting further strikes around Scotland.
The dispute has seen piles of rubbish build up in city centres as waste workers went on strike.
Talks between the First Minister, unions and local authority bosses went on until late on Thursday night at St Andrews House in Edinburgh.
Leaders from Cosla began talks at 9am on Friday to discuss a new offer to be put to the unions.
That fresh offer, the full details of which have not yet been published, was received by unions in the afternoon.
Strikes due to go ahead next week could be suspended if the offer is accepted by union representatives.
Cosla’s resources spokeswoman Katie Hagmann said: “Firstly I would like to thank all our trade union colleagues for the constructive discussions.
“The revised offer made shows that Scotland’s council leaders have listened to the concerns of our workforce and have responded positively.
“Council leaders have said consistently throughout these negotiations that we very much value and are grateful to the local government workforce.
“We have sent letters to our union colleagues following today’s meeting and hope that this enables strike action to be suspended and allows our workforce to get back to doing what they do best, delivering high-quality essential services for the people within our communities right across Scotland.”
Labour MSP Mark Griffin said of the revised deal: “This news will come as a relief to millions of Scots and our hard-pressed council workers – but the blame for these weeks of chaos lies squarely with this SNP Government.
“Communities across Scotland have suffered weeks of disruption and disarray due to the intransigence of this SNP Government.
“It is simply not good enough that it took weeks of industrial action to embarrass the SNP Government into action.
“This will not be the last industrial dispute of the year. With sector after sector balloting for action, the SNP Government must realise that it cannot continue to approach industrial relations in this slapdash and damaging fashion.”
Earlier on Friday, a trade union official said the talks at St Andrews House had been “constructive” despite ending without a deal.
Johanna Baxter, head of local government for Unison Scotland, told BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland programme that things were more optimistic than they were 24 hours prior, and there was a “willingness from all sides to make movement”.
She added: “I think the judgment for Cosla leaders this morning is whether they have enough to deliver what we need for our members.”
She said the marathon talks on Thursday, which were chaired by Nicola Sturgeon, looked into how much money was on the table and how it was constructed.
“Unison’s position has always been that if we had been talking about a flat rate – the like of which was in the pay claim, so £3,000 for everybody – then we wouldn’t have had any debate about the flat rate,” Ms Baxter said.
“The difficulty obviously has been the money, and how much money has been on the table.
“The difficulty we face particularly in the last week is the fact that however you cut the 5% that was on the table in terms of consolidated money, and that is recurring, then you couldn’t get a flat rate that worked for the majority.”
A spokesman for GMB Scotland said: “We believe progress has been made and would hope last night’s negotiations will result in a fresh offer that can be put to our local government committee for review.”
Further strikes by waste workers are planned for next week, with staff at a number of local authorities expected to walk out for eight days.
Workers in schools and early years learning will also take part in a three-day strike in some areas. | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/09/02/unions-receive-new-pay-offer-from-council-leaders/ | 2022-09-02T16:08:02Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/09/02/unions-receive-new-pay-offer-from-council-leaders/ | false | 4 |
(NEXSTAR) — Considering an end-of-summer vacay? You may be scanning hotel discount sites for the best rate on a quick getaway but a new study by travel site InsureMyTrip shows you may get more bang for your buck on some versus others.
Using data from 1,000 hotels across 20 cities, InsureMyTrip compared rates of three major booking sites to see who offers the cheapest deals on average — in addition to how much and how often. The study also compared discount booking sites with the cost of booking with hotels directly.
Here’s the ranking from most expensive to least expensive, per the study:
4. Booking.com — Average price (for a double room for 2 people): $250.14. Booking.com had the cheapest rates about 7% of the time.
3. Booking directly with the hotel — Average price: $222.87. Using a hotel’s website was cheaper than the three other sites about 39% of the time. Direct booking is also about $6 more expensive than the top 2 discount sites.
2. Expedia — Average price: $217.28. Expedia offers potential savings of about $32.87 and was the most affordable option about 579 times (or 58%), according to InsureMyTrip.
1. Hotels.com — Average price: $217.01. The difference between Hotels.com and Expedia is pretty marginal, though Hotels.com had the cheaper rate about 69% of the time.
It’s important to note both Expedia and Hotels.com are owned by the same parent company, Expedia Group, and thus, had similar or identical average rates in many instances.
Booking.com representatives did not immediately respond to Nexstar, however, Booking.com Managing Director of Asia Pacific Laura Houldsworth told CNBC the company aims to be transparent with customers and that “our property partners are free to set their own prices on Booking.com.”
Additionally, Houldsworth said Booking.com honors its “promise to price match, [which] also means that if a customer should ever find a lower price on another website, Booking.com will refund the difference.”
It depends which city you’re going to
InsureMyTrip’s analysis found customers can expect specific savings depending upon which city they’re visiting and which site they’re using.
- Direct booking — Booking direct is the best option if you’re staying in Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Los Angeles.
- Expedia — Most affordable cities include Boston, Orlando, Chicago and Honolulu.
- Hotels.com — Most affordable cities include New York, Miami and Las Vegas.
Internationally, Expedia and Hotels.com split the difference for best city deals.
“Of the 20 cities analyzed, we found seven were the same price on Hotels.com and Expedia. This shows that either site can be used to find a great deal, especially traveling to capital cities around the globe,” the study concludes.
Meanwhile, a stay in Istanbul, Turkey, is cheapest if booked with the hotel directly. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/which-hotel-discount-sites-have-lowest-rates-study/ | 2022-09-02T16:09:16Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/which-hotel-discount-sites-have-lowest-rates-study/ | false | 14 |
EU supports change to injection method to stretch monkeypox vaccine supply
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
European countries could stretch out limited supplies of the monkeypox vaccine by administering smaller doses of the shot, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said on Friday.
The agency’s advice is in line with the so-called fractional dosing approach endorsed by U.S. regulators in which one vial of the vaccine can be used to administer up to five separate doses – instead of a single dose – by injecting a smaller amount in between layers of the skin (intradermal injection).
The vaccine – called Jynneos, Imvanex and Imvamune, depending on geography – was designed to be injected into a layer of fat beneath the skin, known as a subcutaneous injection.
MONKEYPOX: WHAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT THE VIRUS — AND HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
As a temporary measure, national authorities may decide to use the vaccine as an intradermal injection at a lower dose to protect at-risk individuals during the current monkeypox outbreak while supply of the vaccine remains limited, the EMA said.
The recommendation is based on a study involving about 500 adults, which compared the performance of the vaccine given either intradermally or subcutaneously, as two doses given about a month apart.
Those who received the intradermal injection received one fifth of the subcutaneous dose, but produced similar levels of antibodies as those who received the original subcutaneous dose, the EMA said.
However, the agency cautioned there was a higher risk of local reactions, such as redness, and thickening or discoloration of the skin after intradermal injections.
TEXAS CONFIRMS FIRST US DEATH OF PERSON WITH MONKEYPOX
More than 40,000 confirmed cases of monkeypox – including a handful of deaths – in over 80 countries where the virus is not endemic have been reported since early May.
The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak a global health emergency. The vaccine, made by Bavarian Nordic, is in short supply.
Several countries are stretching out the available doses, with unknown outcomes, to make the most of existing supplies.
Britain, Canada, and Germany are administering one dose per person instead of two, which allows them to inoculate more people even if they each may receive less or less durable protection. | https://1010wcsi.com/fox-health/eu-supports-change-to-injection-method-to-stretch-monkeypox-vaccine-supply/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=eu-supports-change-to-injection-method-to-stretch-monkeypox-vaccine-supply | 2022-09-02T16:16:00Z | https://1010wcsi.com/fox-health/eu-supports-change-to-injection-method-to-stretch-monkeypox-vaccine-supply/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=eu-supports-change-to-injection-method-to-stretch-monkeypox-vaccine-supply | true | 10 |
“I thought we would never play at Rock in Rio. It’s a surprise to be invited”, says João Gordo to the podcast g1 heard about Ratos de Porão’s first concert at the festival after a 41-year career.
The band is older than the festival: it emerged in 1981, four years before Rock in Rio. Since then, they have marked the history of hardcore and metal in Brazil.
The name of the stage where the veteran band plays this Friday (2) seems ironic: Supernova. See the schedule.
“Ratos is an underground band and is not part of ‘national rock'”, explains João Gordo. “I think it’s even a recognition on the part of the festival. Because the band is classic, we’ve already played at festivals all over the world.”
“Massive festivals with The Cure, Therapy, and us there. Why not here? I was happy to be invited,” he says.
João Gordo has lived it all at the age of 58 and has had a career spanning over 40 years. He faced the punk and metal scenes and changed the history of Brazilian rock. Afterwards, he faced Dado Dolabella and Marcelo Camelo and changed the history of MTV Brasil.

UofM police searching for St. Mary's teacher kidnapped Friday while jogging near campus
A woman last seen jogging early Friday morning on the University of Memphis campus is believed to have been kidnapped, police said, setting off a search for a dark-colored SUV seen leaving the scene.
University of Memphis Police said 34-year-old Eliza Fletcher was last seen at around 4:30 a.m. while jogging near the intersection of Central Avenue and Zach H. Curlin Street.
University police said someone in an SUV approached Fletcher and forced her into the vehicle after a brief struggle. The dark colored SUV was last seen headed west on Central Avenue, police said.
The area where Fletcher was last reported seen is between the Herff College of Engineering and the university's music school.
Fletcher is described as being 5' 6" tall, weighing 137 pounds and has brown or blonde hair, police said.
Officers were called at around 7:45 a.m. when Fletcher had not returned home by that point, Memphis Police said. University police said the woman "regularly runs on Central Avenue."
University Police said in a campus safety alert that Fletcher's cellphone and water bottle were found in front of a university-owned house in the 3800 block of Central Avenue.
The university sent out a campus-wide alert at around 9 a.m. Friday notifying students of the incident. On social media, word of Fletcher's disappearance spread quickly, with a Facebook post by the Memphis Police Department being shared 2,500 times by 10:30 a.m.
Fletcher is listed as a teacher at St. Mary's Episcopal School in Memphis. Fletcher is the granddaughter of the late Joseph “Joe” Orgill III, Memphis hardware businessman and philanthropist who has supported causes including Dixon Gallery and Gardens and Church Health.
She married Richard Fletcher III at the Dixon in 2014, Memphis Magazine reported. The story described her as “outdoorsy, athletic, and warm.”

KZN chemical manufacturing plant to boost economy
Dube-Ncube made the remarks during the unveiling of the 47% caustic soda liquid dissolution and blending plant at the Dube Trade Port Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in La Mercy, Durban.
- Country:
- South Africa
Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube says the construction of Synergy Blenders' R120 million chemical manufacturing plant in KwaZulu-Natal highlights the province's resilience and is a boost for the economy.
Dube-Ncube made the remarks during the unveiling of the 47% caustic soda liquid dissolution and blending plant at the Dube Trade Port Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in La Mercy, Durban.
Dube-Ncube, who was joined by Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs MEC, Siboniso Duma, said the investment signals renewed hope, following the July 2021 civil unrest and this year's April floods, which severely tested the province.
"This investment is not only timely but is a vote of confidence in the Dube Trade Port, our Special Economic Zone," Dube-Ncube said on Thursday.
Synergy Blenders is a 100% black-owned local chemical manufacturing plant that produces liquid caustic soda. The plant is expected to be fully operational in April 2023.
The entity received a R50 million grant from the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition under the Black Industrialist Scheme and R70 million loan from the Industrial Development Corporation.
The Premier outlined measures government has made to drive economic growth, highlighting that locating the plant within the Dube Trade Port Special Economic Zone will ensure efficiencies in the operations of Synergy Blenders, while reducing the logistics costs of imported raw material.
"What Synergy Blenders is launching today is a manufacturing plant that will produce a chemical product used as an input of a variety of sectors from pulp and paper to textiles and mining. With only three established producers of 47% caustic soda liquid in the country, the local manufacturing of caustic soda is currently unable to meet the demand and hence an average of 370 000 tons is imported into the country annually.
Growing the economy
"This highlights the potential for growth for this development by Synergy Blenders, which marks yet another step towards growing the economy of KwaZulu-Natal. As the provincial government, we are looking forward to seeing increased competition in the space and anticipating a locally produced product that is of a high-quality meeting international standards, yet cost-effective for the benefit of the market and other stakeholders in the value chain," the Premier said.
She also reaffirmed that as the province embarks on the journey of economic recovery, chief among the key priorities is creating a nurturing environment for businesses throughout the value chains of key sectors of the economy.
"We wish to point out that Synergy Blenders Manufacturing Plant will become an integral part of our Provincial Industrial Strategy, which enjoins us to stimulate the manufacturing industry in order to increase employment. At this stage, we wish to inform companies looking at investment opportunities in KwaZulu-Natal that we are open for business," Dube-Ncube said.
Highlighting the strategic importance of SEZs, Dube-Ncube said their developmental purpose includes to develop export-orientated industries, attract foreign direct investment and technology transfer, and achieve the generation of employment opportunities.
"The SEZs stand to be an effective instrument to resolve the disturbing levels of inequality, poverty and unemployment, which are strongly marked by spatial, racial, class and gender factors. Our people need jobs and we should do everything possible to bring these jobs closer to them so that they do not spend their meagre resources travelling to work," she said.
Dube-Ncube expressed her appreciation to the involvement of the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, and the Industrial Development Corporation under the Black Industrialist Scheme.
She also acknowledged the role-played by other entities such as Trade Investment KwaZulu-Natal.
"It is through such a partnership that we will be able to put this province onto a path of growth and prosperity. It is our wish that as we move forward, Synergy Blenders Manufacturing Plant will be in a position to produce quality products that will ensure your competitive edge and brand loyalty," the Premier said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA aimed for a Saturday launch of its new moon rocket, after fixing fuel leaks and working around a bad engine sensor that foiled the first try.
The inaugural flight of the 322-foot rocket — the most powerful ever built by NASA — was delayed late in the countdown Monday. The Kennedy Space Center clocks started ticking again as managers expressed confidence in their plan and forecasters gave favorable weather odds.
Atop the rocket is a crew capsule with three test dummies that will fly around the moon and back over the course of six weeks — NASA's first such attempt since the Apollo program 50 years ago. NASA wants to wring out the spacecraft before strapping in astronauts on the next planned flight in two years.
“This is a test flight, right? And so while I feel very good about our procedures, when you look the team in the eye, they're ready. We can't control the weather,” NASA's Jeremy Parsons, deputy manager of exploration ground systems, said Friday.
The engineers in charge of the Space Launch System rocket insisted Thursday evening that all four main engines were good and that a faulty temperature sensor caused one of them to appear as though it were too warm Monday. The engines need to match the minus-420 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-250 degrees Celsius) of the liquid hydrogen fuel at liftoff, otherwise they could be damaged and shut down in flight.
“We have convinced ourselves without a shadow of a doubt that we have good-quality liquid hydrogen going through the engines. There's no fuzz on that,” said John Honeycutt, the rocket's program manager.
Once fueling begins Saturday morning, the launch team will perform another engine test — this time earlier in the countdown. Even if that suspect sensor indicates the one engine is too warm, other sensors could be relied on to ensure everything is working correctly and to halt the countdown if there’s a problem, Honeycutt told reporters.
NASA could not perform that kind of engine test during dress rehearsals earlier this year because of leaking fuel. More fuel leaks cropped up Monday; technicians found some loose connections and tightened them.
The $4.1 billion test flight is NASA's first step in sending astronauts around the moon in 2024 and landing them on the surface in 2025. Astronauts last walked on the moon in 1972.

A GUNMAN held for trying to kill Argentina’s vice president had criticised her during a TV rant weeks before the doorstep ambush.
Fernando Montiel, 35, allegedly aimed a pistol at Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and pulled the trigger outside her home last night.
The loaded gun jammed inches from Ms Kirchner's face and she was unharmed in the "assassination attempt".
Montiel - said to have a neo-Nazi tattoo on his arm - was bundled away by the vice president's security guards.
Hours after the Brazil-born driver's arrest, clips of two recent TV interviews emerged on social media.
In one from five weeks ago, he asked what he thought of the appointment of Sergio Massa as the country’s new minister of economy.
He answered: “Massa no, no way” before adding in reference to Ms Kirchner and 2023 presidential candidate Javier Milei: “Or Cristina or Milei.”
The video went viral today along with a second TV interview in which he and his candy floss seller girlfriend criticised benefit scroungers.
Monteil later boasted about his TV interviews on Argentine TV station Cronica.
In one Instagram post he wrote: “I appeared on Cronica TV criticising the government and Sergio Massa and the journalists congratulated me saying I knew about politics and should be a journalist."
Most read in News
The TV station was re-running the videos on its website today with the strapline: “The hitman who wanted to kill Cristina spoke to Cronica.”
Montiel, nicknamed Tedi, was born in Brazil but speaks perfect Spanish with a local accent after moving to Argentina in 1993.
Another Instagram post shows the death metal fan trying to take a selfie with Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died while on tour in Colombia in March.
Monteil said: "Video with Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters a week before he died.
"I feel his death very much having known him before he went."
His social media pictures also reveal he had an Iron Cross tattoo on his right hand and a Black Sun tattoo on his left elbow.
The symbol - schwarze Sonne in German - was used in SS chief Heinrich Himmler's castle and often appears on neo-Nazi flags.
Payton Gendron, 18, used it in a twisted manifesto issued before the Buffalo shooting rampage killed ten in May.
And white supremacist Brenton Tarrant, who murdered 51 mosque worshippers in New Zealand, had a Black Sun symbol on his rucksack.
Montiel’s alleged links to far-right groups were being investigated today amid claims he followed extremist groups on his now-deleted social media.
It also emerged he was arrested in March last year after being found in possession of a knife.
The 14-inch weapon fell out of his Chevrolet Prisma after he was stopped by police over a missing number plate.
He said it was for self-defence and the case was later dropped.
'HATE AND VIOLENCE'
Montiel, who has an Argentine mum and Chilean dad, is said to have used a .32-calibre Bersa semi-automatic to try to kill Ms Kirchner, 69.
Shocking footage showed the handgun being pointed close to her face outside her home in Buenos Aires last night.
Hundreds of supporters had gathered to greet her when suddenly an arm holding a pistol was thrust out of the crowd.
Dramatic footage shows the terrified politician ducking and holding her head as her bodyguards overpowered the assailant.
President Alberto Fernandez said the gun had been loaded with five bullets but jammed when fired.
He said: "A man pointed a firearm at her head and pulled the trigger.
"Cristina is still alive because, for some reason yet to be confirmed, the gun did not fire."
He added it was "the most serious incident since we recovered democracy in 1983 after a military dictatorship".
Sergio Massa, the economy minister, called it an “attempted assassination.”
He tweeted: “When hate and violence prevail over debate, societies are destroyed and situations like these arise: attempted assassination,” he tweeted.
Former President Mauricio Macri also condemned the attack.

State pensioners could be left with just over £10 a day after energy price cap hike
Pensioners in the country relying on state payment may be left with a little over £10 to spend in a day on food, transport, medicines, and other living costs from next April in the wake of rising cost of energy, according to reports.
A Sky News analysis found the full state pension is likely to spike to £10,600 from April 2023, provided inflation is fixed at 10.1 per cent next month when the pension rates are fixed for 2023-24.
However, the usual costs of energy bills will touch £6,616 in April, according to a prediction by consultancy group Cornwall Insight.
This will lead to gas and electricity costs of about 62 per cent of the state pension money, due to which senior citizens will be left with just £10.92 in a day to spend on their food, medicines, transport, and other essential living costs.
Charity groups across the country have raised an alarm over the steep rise in living costs for the senior citizens as a result of increase in state costs, leaving the older people with not enough money.
“Millions of pensioners will now be coming to terms with the reality of what it means for them: the prospect of trying somehow to get through the autumn and winter with prices soaring and yet with very little flex in their fixed incomes,” said Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK .
She added that the coming times are a “truly frightening prospect and one that most could not have prepared for, and never expected to face at this point in their lives.”
Professor Stefan Bouzarovski, working with the university of Manchester and an expert in energy poverty, said the latest increase to the energy price cap will have catastrophic implications not just for those already in fuel poverty, but for those categorised as “energy vulnerable”.
London-based Centre for Ageing Better said that a majority of older people are already cutting back on gas and electricity use in their homes, more than any other age group — 59 per cent for 65-74 year olds as opposed to 47 per cent in 25-34 year olds age group.
Households in the UK with older occupants spend around twice as much on energy as younger households and were twice as likely to be living in draughty homes, the charity group said.
It added that a couple over 60 living in a home with the lowest EPC rating (G) can expect their average bill to almost double under the new energy price cap from £4771 to £8671, data from E3G analysis of English Housing Survey including modelled impact of price caps showed.
The UK pays full “new” state pension to people who have hit the retirement age starting April 2016.
Those who reach the retirement age before then are paid a basic state pension, which is topped up based on lifetime National Insurance contributions.
Charity groups are pressing for immediate action from the upcoming prime minister to act on the rising energy costs compounded by inflation as their first task.
“The new Prime Minister must make their first act providing additional support for the millions of households in our country whose rising inflation is set to overwhelm, among them many pensioners,” Age UK’s Ms Abrahams said.
She added: “Every day older people are telling us how scared they are; they need urgent reassurance from the government that they will not abandon them.”
However, the prime ministerial faces Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak in the leadership race have not commented comprehensively on their plans to bring down the cost of energy bills.
Ms Truss said she will “bung more money” at those facing crisis of spiking energy costs while Mr Sunak millions may be forced into destitution if not given any extra support by the administration. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2723455601583/state-pensioners-could-be-left-with-just-over-10-a-day-after-energy-price-cap-hike | 2022-09-02T16:45:41Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2723455601583/state-pensioners-could-be-left-with-just-over-10-a-day-after-energy-price-cap-hike | true | 2 |
Lisbon, Portugal announced on Thursday it would speed up granting visas to citizens of other Portuguese-speaking countries, including Angola and Brazil, as it seeks to tackle a labour shortage.
The other countries in the Community of Portuguese language countries (CPLP) are East Timor, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique and São Tomé and Príncipe, Reuters reports.
Immigrants from these countries have had to get a visa if they plan to stay in Portugal for more than 90 days and often have to wait many months to get visa approval.
From now on, visas to enter Portugal for citizens of any CPLP member state “must be immediately granted by the consular services, unless there is an expulsion order or a ban to enter the Schengen Area”, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ana Catarina Mendes told a news briefing.
“It (the decree) is absolutely fundamental in the organisation of regular and orderly flows of immigration…it allows us to respond to the urgent needs of human resources and helps to revitalise our economy,” she told reporters.
The Schengen Area refers to 26 European countries that have abolished requiring passports to pass their mutual borders.
Portugal would also create a new type of visa to allow any foreigner to enter the country for 120 days, extendable by another 60 days, without any quotas, Catarina Mendes said.
Portugal’s unemployment rate is at 5.7%, near a record low.
Employers’ confederations have been asking for the immigration rules to be streamlined, pointing to an economic situation close to full employment, with no workers available in key sectors such as hotels, agriculture and construction.

“I always say that beauty is a feeling,” notes celebrity makeup artist Sir John on his beauty philosophy. “The way we make people feel is a destination—you become a destination of energy when you can do that.” While the pro is most known for his work with Beyoncé—including her glam at the 2022 Oscars and her British Vogue cover—he has garnered quite a Rolodex of star clientele. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Serena Williams, Zendaya, and Naomi Campbell (who happened to be his first celebrity client), to name a few, have all sported his glam on endless magazine covers, music videos, and red carpets. Not to mention a slew of brand partnerships with L’Oréal, Barbie, and MAC.
And the sought-after makeup pro doesn’t have any plans on slowing down anytime soon. “One thing I know about life, especially at this big, grown age of mine, is that the finish line continues to get pushed back,” he continues.“There’s a Roman saying: never rely on past glory. Yesterday’s win is yesterday’s win. No matter what I did yesterday, that’s cool, but I’m really obsessed about what’s next.” Following two decades of experience, he’s adding another role to his ever-evolving resume: chief creative officer of Ctzn Cosmetics—driven by his commitment to building equity and diversity in the industry. | https://www.vogue.com/article/sir-john-five-makeup-essentials | 2022-09-02T16:46:37Z | https://www.vogue.com/article/sir-john-five-makeup-essentials | true | 1 |
Everyone knew the Gophers and New Mexico State were in very different places heading into Thursday's game, which Minnesota won 38-0. But there were things that could be learned from the one-sided game. Here are five of them:
- Jalen Logan-Redding can play
A third-year defensive lineman, Logan-Redding started and finished with two tackles. He was particularly noticeable in the first quarter when while pressuring Aggies QB Diego Pavia, he diagnosed a screen pass, put on the brakes and reached up a hand, forcing Pavia to loft his pass and underthrow his receiver. It was subtle but effective play.
- Brevyn Spann-Ford can block
At 6-7 and 270 pounds, Brevyn Spann-Ford makes a great pass-catching target as a tight end. His blocking, however, showed his value to the Gophers on Thursday. He was especially effective on Minnesota's first two touchdown drives, sealing lanes for Mohamed Ibrahim to exploit.
- Some solid clockwork
Up 17-0 in the second quarter, the Gophers got the ball with 5:44 remaining in the half. Fleck and Ciarrocca did a solid job of draining the clock while making sure they scored a touchdown. Ibrahim rushed five times for 28 yards, while Morgan went 3-for-5 for 36 yards and scored on a QB sneak with 19 seconds left in the half.
- An argument for the defense
"Joe Rossi is a stud,'' Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said of his defensive coordinator after the game. The Gophers, who ranked third nationally in total defense last year with 278.8 yards allowed per game, held the Aggies to 91 total yards. It's the eighth time since the start of last season that they've held opponents to 250 yards or fewer and second time in that span allowing fewer than 100 (63 by Colorado was the other).
- Burying the hatchet
Credit Fleck for seeing out Aggies coach Jerry Kill for the pregame handshake and chat to diffuse any bad blood between the two coaches. And credit Kill for taking the high road, too, and for his postgame comments about what coaching the Gophers meant to him.
- Up next: Western Illinois
11 a.m. Sept. 10, TCF Bank Stadium, BTN, 100.3-FM
Western Illinois, an FCS program that went 2-9 last year, opened its season Thursday night with a 42-25 loss at Tennessee-Martin, the No. 15-ranked team in the FCS coaches' preseason poll. The Fighting Leathernecks gave up 577 total yards in losing for the seventh time in their past eight games.
Western Illinois tied the score 7-7 early in the second quarter on Henry Ogala's 31-yard touchdown pass to Jafa Armstrong before the Skyhawks scored 21 consecutive points to pull away. Wide receiver Naseim Brantley, a graduate transfer from Sacred Heart, caught six passes for 171 yards, including touchdown grabs of 51, 44 and 32 yards.
Nick Davenport completed nine of 19 passes for 180 yards and three touchdowns for the Leathernecks, while Ogala went 12-for-19 for 105 yards and a score. Davenport led Western Illinois with 62 yards on 10 carries.
Thursday's game was the Leathernecks debut for coach Myers Hendrickson, who went 30-6 in three seasons at NAIA-level Kansas Wesleyan. | https://m.startribune.com/gophers-new-mexico-state-five-things-learned-p-j-fleck-brevyn-spann-ford-jerry-kill/600203352/ | 2022-09-02T16:47:29Z | https://m.startribune.com/gophers-new-mexico-state-five-things-learned-p-j-fleck-brevyn-spann-ford-jerry-kill/600203352/ | false | 2 |

The 87-year-old shoots at least 250 balls each time and keeps track of his makes and misses.
“If I don’t come here, there’s something missing in my day,” Malleck said. “It’s really an important part of my day.”
Malleck said he’s taken close to 1.5 million shots, making nearly 96% of them.

Singer Bamba Bakya, who crooned popular numbers such as the latest 'Ponni Nadhi' in Mani Ratnam's upcoming film 'Ponniyin Selvan', died of health issues, sources close to his family said on Friday. He was 42.
The playback singer was taken to a hospital here on Thursday after he complained of uneasiness. His blood sugar level and hypertension shot up.
"Despite the doctors doing their best, he could not be saved. He passed away at around midnight Thursday," the source told PTI.
A large number of people, including those from the film industry, and composer A R Rahman paid their last respects to Bakya at his residence here. His mortal remains were laid to rest this evening.
Bakya had collaborated with many composers like A R Rahman. He sang numbers like 'Pullinangal' from Rajinikanth's 2.0, 'Kalame Kalame' from 'Bigil' and 'Simtarangaran' from 'Sarkar', among others. Bamba Bakya's death shocked the film industry.
Actor Karthi tweeted: "Really saddened by the sudden demise of Bamba Bakiya. I pray that his family and friends have the strength to bear this huge loss."

NEW YORK — As the first week of the U.S. Open Championships draws to a close, the tennis world, in fact the sports world, is enthralled with Serena Williams like never before in her 20-plus years of dominance.
Why? Because she's turning a moment that was supposed to be about her legacy, into a moment about her tennis.
She set the stage for this special Open by writing last month that likely it would be her last. New York responded as only New York could, feting her with video tributes by Queen Latifah and Oprah Winfrey. The big screens around Arthur Ashe stadium projected a steady stream of famous faces who came to pay their respects. And, admit it famous faces, to be seen, right?
The biggest to-do happened the night of Williams' first round match against Danka Kovinic of Montenegro – of course it was respectful to get in all the messages of "we love you, you're the GOAT Serena" on the tournament's first night. But truth be told, the way Williams had been playing since she returned from a year-long injury absence, there was a chance she might not be around long enough to receive all the love.
But then she beat Kovinic in straight sets. Two nights later, the tributes were there again, albeit toned down, while Williams' game continued to rev up. She beat number-two seed Anett Kontaveit in three sets. And suddenly, the evolution (Williams' preferred word) from legacy to tennis, was in full swing. Questions of "is this in fact your last tournament?" became "can you win this tournament?"
After the Kontaveit win, Williams said she's tried to navigate both realities.
"I think I've mostly been kind of blocking everything out," she said, "but then at the same time I've been embracing a little bit of it [because] I also want to enjoy the moment. I think these moments are clearly fleeting so for me it's really about having a little embrace but also understanding that I'm here to focus, and do the best that I can this time."
For those of us in the stadium seats for both matches, it's been almost disorienting watching the video screen of Williams highlights, and then seeing her nearly 41-year-old self play with the same power and nuance and athleticism. And with each rocket serve or thunderclap return against Kovinic and Kontaveit, the adoration has been unanimous – strangers high-fiving a Williams winner or an ace, people hugging and standing in celebration. And roaring. Always roaring.
For an opponent, it's all been a bit overwhelming.
"I mean I expected it," Kontaveit said after the match, "but it was really hard. You can expect something and I saw it from [Williams' previous match], but when you're on the court, it was hard. I knew it was coming, but yeah, I guess you can't learn from anyone else's mistakes. Feeling it was just, something I never experienced before."
Kontaveit left the press conference in tears.
Today, Australian Ajla Tomljanovic plays the role of "next?" in what fans are starting to say is another, and probably final Williams run to glory. If, like the others, Tomljanovic goes down, don't be surprised to hear murmurs of Jimmy Connors' memorable 1991 U.S. Open, when at 39 and apparently "over the hill" he went on a fist-pumping tear and got to the semifinals.
Williams says in the run-up to this Open she'd been practicing really well and now it's satisfying to turn that into solid play during matches. Can she win it all?
"I cannot think that far [ahead]," she said. "I'm having fun and I'm enjoying it. Honestly I've had so many tough matches the last, I don't know how long, that I just feel like, just being prepared for everyone that I play is just going to be really, really difficult and...get through those moments."
Even if one of those moments ends in defeat, Williams already can claim a victory of sorts – in a week's time, she has turned her tournament run from a loving farewell, into a passionate guessing game of how long will she stick around.

BERLIN (AP) — Two earthquakes hit Liechtenstein just as lawmakers in the tiny Alpine principality were debating the pros and cons of quake insurance.
Lawmaker Bettina Petzold-Maehr had just warned that the chances of all Liechtenstein citizens being affected by an earthquake striking the country was high when the first small temblor hit shortly before 2 p.m. (1200GMT) Thursday.
Petzold-Maehr laughed and continued until the second quake struck, visibly shaking the room.
“This is getting a bit much, you never know if there’ll be aftershocks,” speaker Albert Frick said, announcing a 15-minute recess.
Records by the German Research Centre for Geosciences showed a magnitude 4 earthquake hit Liechtenstein, which is sandwiched between Switzerland and Austria, Thursday afternoon.
Liechtenstein police said no injuries or damage were reported, and gave a magnitude of 3.9 for the quake.
Liechtenstein has a population of just under 39,000 and a surface area of 62 square miles (160 square kilometers), making it slightly smaller than Washington, D.C. | https://www.8newsnow.com/weird-news/ap-liechtenstein-shakes-as-lawmakers-debate-quake-insurance/ | 2022-09-02T16:54:47Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/weird-news/ap-liechtenstein-shakes-as-lawmakers-debate-quake-insurance/ | false | 25 |

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2723893461973/local-news-august-29-2022 | 2022-09-02T16:56:11Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2723893461973/local-news-august-29-2022 | true | 12721 |

TORONTO, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Global IT research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group has published its newest research-backed blueprint, Redesign Your IT Organizational Structure. Digital technology and information transparency drive organizations to reorganize around customer responsiveness. As businesses aim to remain relevant in an increasingly competitive market, organizational design must be forward-looking and ready to adapt to rapid pivots in technology and customer demands.
Info-Tech reports that the current IT structure of many organizations does not align with the strategic objectives, and that inefficiencies in how the IT function is currently operating may be present. As a result, IT employees are unclear about their roles and responsibilities, leading to inconsistent service.
However, many organizations struggle to redesign their IT organizational structure because they often create a new organizational chart without including the IT leadership team and business members in these changes.
"An organizational structure is much more than a chart with titles and names," says Allison Straker, research director at Info-Tech Research Group. "It defines the way that the organization operates on a day-to-day basis to enable the successful delivery of the organization's information and technology objectives. Moreover, organizational design sees beyond the people that might be performing a specific role."
According to Info-Tech's research and insights, understanding the drivers, context, and strategies that will inform the structure are all crucial factors for a successful IT organizational redesign. An organizational design is a change initiative that will require buy-in and requires identifying gaps in delivery, sourcing strategies, customers, and degrees of centralization to be successful.
"Redesigning an IT organizational structure can be a small or large change transformation for your organization," explains Brittany Lutes, senior research analyst at Info-Tech Research Group. "Create a structure that is equally mindful of the opportunities and the constraints that might exist and ensure it will drive the organization towards its vision with a successful implementation."
IT design needs to support business objectives, not just IT needs. Info-Tech's resource outlines several advantages of an IT design. These advantages include:
- Enabling IT to fulfill an organization's strategic mission and vision of all technical and digital initiatives.
- Assisting the business with clarity on who and where to direct concerns or questions.
- Reducing the likelihood of turnover costs as IT employees understand their roles and importance.
- Creating a method to communicate how the organizational structure aligns with the strategic initiatives of IT.
- Increasing the ability to innovate the organization.
Before undertaking an organizational redesign, business leaders should ensure they engage in change management practices that are needed from the onset to ensure the implementation of an organizational structure.

BERLIN -- Finance ministers from the Group of Seven industrial powers on Friday pledged to impose a cap on the price of Russian oil in a bid to limit the Kremlin's revenues and ability to fund its war in Ukraine, while also curtailing the war's impact on energy prices and inflation.
The ministers said they would impose the cap by barring insurance or shipping companies from helping Russia sell oil at prices above the set limit.
The decision follows discussions at the group’s summit earlier this year and aims at solving one of the vexing problems with sanctions against Russia: Global oil prices have risen on fears of restricted supply, which has only fattened the Kremlin’s take.
Meanwhile, skyrocketing energy prices have fed inflation that is squeezing consumers in rich and poor countries alike and threatens to push Europe into recession.
In a statement issued by Germany, which chairs the G-7 this year, the ministers said they “confirm our joint political intention to finalize and implement a comprehensive prohibition of services which enable maritime transportation of Russian-origin crude oil and petroleum products globally.”
Providing those services “would only be allowed if the oil and petroleum products are purchased at or below a price ('the price cap') determined by the broad coalition of countries adhering to and implementing the price cap," they added.
The statement did not give any proposed figure for a potential price cap and also did not specify when the G-7 aims to finalize the plan. It said that “we invite all countries to provide input on the price cap's design and to implement this important measure,” calling for a “broad coalition in order to maximize effectiveness.”
The G-7 is made up of the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Canada and Japan.
When they met in June in Germany, G-7 leaders agreed to explore a price cap but said the idea needed further discussion, a testimony to the complexity of implementing it.
The measure — pushed by U.S. President Joe Biden — could work because the service providers are mostly located in the European Union or the U.K. and thus within reach of sanctions. To be effective, however, it would have to involve as many importing countries as possible, in particular India where refiners have been snapping up cheap Russian oil shunned by Western traders.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak has said Russia will refuse to sell oil to countries or companies that observe the cap.
The U.S. has already blocked Russian oil imports, which were small in any case. The European Union has decided to impose a ban on the 90% of Russian oil that comes by sea, but that does not take effect until the end of the year.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the G-7 had taken “a critical step forward" and that “today’s action will help deliver a major blow (to) Russian finances and will both hinder Russia’s ability to fight its unprovoked war in Ukraine and hasten the deterioration of the Russian economy.”
“We have already begun to see the impact of the price cap through Russia’s hurried attempts to negotiate bilateral oil trades at massive discounts,” Yellen said in a statement.
A senior U.S. Treasury official, insisting on anonymity to discuss the strategic thinking, said the caps would create a new baseline price for countries such as China and India that are not part of the coalition that purchase oil from Russia. Lower prices paid to Russia by these nations would accomplish the coalition's goal, said the official, who added that Russia is aggressively trying to lock-in long term contracts now to limit the loss of potential oil revenues.
Friday's G-7 statement said the group encourages other oil-producing countries to increase production in order to decrease volatility in energy markets.

I’m a mobile phone expert – these are five things you can do to reduce your bill
MOBILE phones are an essential part of everyday life for millions across the UK.
According to Statista, there were just under 63 million smartphone users in the UK in 2021.
But they can be costly, especially if you don't know how to navigate tricky phone contracts or know which model to buy.
As the cost of living continues to soar, households are looking for ways to cut back on how much they spend on their phones - but what can you do?
Kyle Wilson, an expert at online mobile phone shop Mobiles.co.uk, has revealed five changes you can make to save on your phone bill.
Be smart when choosing handsets
Most people are quick to grab the latest iPhone, Samsung or Google phones, but these same brands offer mid-range handsets with good quality features, and for less money as well, Kyle said.
“Whether you’re looking for a big display, advanced camera, or 5G connectivity, these features can also be found on mid-ranged priced phones," he said.
Choosing a deal with an upfront cost will save you in the long run as well, Kyle said.
"This will generally lower the line rental and make the contract cheaper over the course of the agreement."
Go for a refurbished phone
For those on a tighter budget, refurbished phones are a great option, Kyle said.
Most read in Money
"In most cases, a refurbished device is significantly cheaper than a ‘brand new handset deal’ and will still feature returns and warranty benefits."
But Kyle added a word of caution, saying: "Make sure you always buy from an authorised reseller, as this will ensure the products have been examined by technicians."
Go SIM-only
If you are happy with your current device and have paid it off, you can keep hold of it and go for a SIM-only option.
Kyle said: "You may not get the excitement of unboxing a new mobile, but you can enjoy a lower monthly cost and the flexibility of shorter contracts, such as one or 12 month agreements.
"SIM-only options start from as little as £6 per month, but will vary depending on your desired allowance, texts and minutes."
Re-evaluate your data allowances
We all want unlimited data because of the flexibility it affords us.
But choosing a data package best suited to how much you'll use is one quick way of reducing costs, Kyle said.
“It's important to be realistic in how much data you need and use.
"You should be able to check your data usage by logging into your network’s account.
"If you are currently paying for more data than you are using, it may be worth selecting a smaller data allowance when you next buy a contract, potentially saving yourself a lot of money.”
Be wary of extra charges
In-app payments and roaming charges can see you incur inconvenient extra costs on your phone bill.
So keep an eye on what you have installed and delete any you don't need, Kyle said.
"Take care when using apps on your phone, as many can have in-app costs or free trials that start charging to your phone bill when the free trial ends.
"In-app payments are commonly found in games and can be activated by accident, especially if you have children."
The Sun spoke to a mobile expert who revealed six ways to make sure you never pay roaming charges while abroad.
Meanwhile, a phone expert shared eight ways to protect your device from hackers. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/money/9399255/phone-expert-reduce-bill-cost-living-iphone-samsung-google/ | 2022-09-02T17:04:53Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/money/9399255/phone-expert-reduce-bill-cost-living-iphone-samsung-google/ | true | 2 |

Sickening moment a security guard leads a little girl from a playground to a secluded shopping centre corridor where he exposed himself as they disappeared from view for 11 chilling minutes - here's what happened next
- Security guard Mohammad Hassan Al Bayati exposed himself to the girl, 3
- CCTV showed how he took the three-year-old from a playground by the hand
- They walked down a corridor before disappearing from CCTV for 11 minutes
The family of a three-year-old girl say they will 'never be the same again' after a sick security guard led her away from a playground before exposing his penis to her.
Mohammed Al Bayati was captured on CCTV coercing the girl away from a playground at Direct Factory Outlet Homebush in west Sydney before leading her down a corridor.
The security guard held the young girl's hand before they disappeared from cameras for 11 minutes.
Al Bayati claimed he was helping the lost child find her mother, but was found guilty of exposing himself to her in a stairwell.
Judge Christopher Robison sentenced him to a maximum of four years in jail on Friday and said he detained the girl for his 'sexual gratification'.
The security guard held the young girl's hand before they disappeared from cameras for 11 minutes
In a victim impact statement, the girl's parents said their 'peaceful family life was destroyed and will never be the same again'.
'He took and detained the victim for his sexual gratification,' Judge Robinson said in his judgement on Friday.
'When one carefully views all the evidence, it is clear to me that he had a sexual interest in the victim.
'I am mindful of the victim's age as well as that of the offender, who would have been trusted to find her mother.'
The girl later told her parents that Al Bayati was 'touching his needle', though Crown prosecutor John Sfinas said it could not be established if the security guard was masturbating.
Judge Robinson added that Al Bayati prioritised 'his own sexual interests over and above' his duty to return the girl to her family.
Al Bayati - who is on a protection visa - was originally charged with indecently assaulting the little girl, however, a jury was unable to reach a verdict in the 2018 trial.
A second jury later found him guilty of indecent assault but he ended up being acquitted on appeal.
Al Bayati claimed he was helping the lost child find her mother, but was found guilty of exposing himself to her in a stairwell
In a victim impact statement, the girl's parents said their 'peaceful family life was destroyed and will never be the same again'
During his third trial in July, Al Bayati was found guilty of two lesser charges of detaining a person to obtain an advantage and committing an act of indecency with a child.
He is already eligible for parole having served three years and seven months in custody.
However, once Al Bayati gets out of jail he faces a lifetime in detention because his protection visa has been cancelled.
The federal government won't send him back to Iraq due to the risk of persecution.
Judge Robison said in Sydney's Downing Centre District Court on Friday that he took into account the 33-year-old sought refuge in Australia from war-torn Iraq, where he was held captive as a teenager and threatened with beheading, according to 9News.
However, Judge Robison said that in no way excused his behaviour. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11173647/Security-guard-leads-little-girl-playground-Sydney-exposing-himself.html | 2022-09-02T17:06:24Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11173647/Security-guard-leads-little-girl-playground-Sydney-exposing-himself.html | false | 2 |

Top 10 Ligier F1 drivers ranked: Boutsen, Pironi, Laffite and more
From its entry to Formula 1 in 1976 to its takeover by Prost 20 years later, Ligier had a colourful history, with its fortunes waxing and waning through the 1980s. Here are its best drivers across the squad's history
From its entry to Formula 1 from the world of sportscar racing in 1976, the Ligier team added Gallic flair to grand prix competition with its screaming Matra V12 engines, sometimes-beautiful, sometimes-idiosyncratic designs cloaked in the blue livery of Gitanes, and the wonderfully relaxed yet canny Jacques Laffite in the cockpit. It was not until its seventh season that the squad even fielded a non-native-French-speaking driver.
As the 1980s developed, the team founded by rugby player-turned-F1 point-scorer Guy Ligier waxed and waned in competitiveness.
Ligier was renowned as an explosive character who wore his heart on his sleeve and, sadly, his equipe became a commodity in the 1990s as it changed hands on frequent occasions until, over the winter of 1996-97, it became Prost in deference to the takeover of the four-time world champion.
This is our take on the top 10 drivers of Ligier’s colourful F1 history from 1976 to 1996. All starts are for world championship races.
10. Rene Arnoux

Ligier years: 1986-89
Ligier starts: 53
Ligier wins: 0
Ligier poles: 0
Celebrated for his performances at Renault and Ferrari, Arnoux arrived at Ligier in 1986 for his ‘second career’ in F1 after being fired by the Prancing Horse early in the preceding season.
His lengthy stint at Ligier from 1986-89 is usually remembered for his stubborn track manners, drawing ire from James Hunt in his commentaries. But there were still glimpses of what was always Arnoux’s strongest suit: his speed.
Laffite had already been back at Ligier for a year when Arnoux arrived, yet it was the new interloper who resoundingly won the qualifying battle between them up until Laffite’s F1 career-ending British GP shunt, the score 8-1 in Arnoux’s favour. For a glorious moment, he ran second in a Ligier 1-2 in the Detroit GP before that fell apart. As did the team, pretty much.
Guy Ligier himself was back at the helm after the departure of Gerard Larrousse, who had joined from Renault for 1985 to run the team, and had brought designer Michel Tetu with him. For 1987, Ligier did a deal with Alfa Romeo to use its engines, only for Arnoux to make an ill-advised criticism of the powerplants when talking to Italian media pre-season.
Alfa took umbrage and withdrew from F1, leaving Ligier to scratch around to secure replacement engines in the form of the BMW-derived Megatron, making what was already a heavy car even heavier – and using a powerplant around which it was not designed.
Predictably, the season was a disaster, even if the loss of Alfa was not mourned. As Autosport’s Nigel Roebuck acerbically noted: “They didn’t quite know what they were doing in Formula 1 anyway, a state of affairs which has existed since 1951.”
Naturally aspirated Judd engines arrived for 1988, along with Stefan Johansson, who had been replaced at McLaren by Ayrton Senna. The Swede had a good reputation, but was dominated by Arnoux, who failed to qualify only twice to Johansson’s six times… Roebuck again: “’Got a match?’ Stefan Johansson asked me one day, as we stood by his Ligier JS31. And he was already smoking. He wasn’t looking to light his fag.”
The Cosworth-powered JS33 of 1989 was better, but by now Arnoux’s time was up. Formula 3000 ace Olivier Grouillard arrived alongside him in the other car and was much quicker, as Arnoux struggled to get to grips with the rock-hard set-up. Grouillard, who went to Osella for 1990, can perhaps be considered unlucky not to make this top 10, but Arnoux’s form from 1986 means he shades it.
9. Andrea de Cesaris

Ligier years: 1984-85
Ligier starts: 27
Ligier wins: 0
Ligier poles: 0
The well-backed Italian was infuriatingly accident-prone and erratic, but on his day was not only quick but capable of sublime performances.
De Cesaris joined Ligier from Alfa Romeo for 1984, at which point the team procured turbocharged engines from Renault – just as the French car maker was moving towards its F1 decline.
Alongside him in the team was Francois Hesnault, who had made an ill-advised leap straight from French F3. Naturally, de Cesaris comprehensively trounced him. He claimed fifth place in the second round, in South Africa, but only one more point came his way.
Ligier’s favourite son Laffite returned to the line-up for 1985. All looked promising, and it was de Cesaris who proved the quicker of the two drivers. He also scored a superb fourth place in the Monaco GP, 50 seconds clear of sixth-placed Laffite.
But there was also that dark side to de Cesaris: his accidents. When he barrel-rolled his JS25 out of the Austrian GP his card was marked and, after one more outing at Zandvoort, he was replaced by Formula 3000 talent Philippe Streiff, and washed up at Minardi for the following season.

The stylish Belgian was good enough to win grands prix for the rebuilding Williams team, and was part of the F1 furniture by the time he arrived at Ligier for 1991, his former drive going to the returning Nigel Mansell.
The team was really in the mire at this stage, and the Lamborghini V12-powered JS35 couldn’t notch up a single point with Boutsen and reigning F3000 champion Erik Comas at the wheel. But the veteran did a solid job and well and truly outpaced his rookie team-mate.
With the new Renault V10 proving to be the engine to beat at Williams, Ligier pulled off a coup by securing the powerplant for 1992. Alain Prost, sacked by Ferrari, tested at Estoril and Paul Ricard as he evaluated a switch to Ligier, but he was put off because long-term backing could not be guaranteed.
That meant it was Boutsen and Comas again and, despite the weapon in the back of the car, the JS37 still couldn’t get near the front, and lacked mechanical grip. Furthermore, the relationship between the two drivers soured irrevocably when they collided in the early-season Brazilian GP.
Nevertheless, Boutsen became a regular top 10 qualifier across the second half of the season, and again outpaced Comas. By the end of the year, Comas was beginning to get the better of Boutsen, but the old stager scored his first Ligier points when he picked his way through a typically attrition-filled Australian GP at Adelaide from 22nd on the grid to fifth.
Comas had already scored in three mid-season races, but generally across their two seasons together it was advantage Boutsen.

By the time he arrived at Ligier for his third full F1 season in 1982, the Italian-raised American was regarded as a promising talent, if perhaps not top-drawer.
Cheever and Laffite started the season in the trusty Matra-powered JS17, which had carried the Frenchman to two wins in 1981 but was overweight, Laffite describing it as “antique”.
When the new JS19 arrived, the ungainly looking car was off the pace to the extent that the JS17 was pressed back into service for the North American mid-season races. Here, Cheever scored an excellent second place in Detroit to add to the third he had picked up at Zolder.
Further impressive drives came in Montreal and at Monza, and Cheever was excellent in Las Vegas, where he qualified fourth and finished third.
Team chief Guy Ligier rated him as a good test driver, and he comfortably outscored Laffite in the points and narrowly defeated him 8-7 in qualifying across the season. That attracted Renault, which signed him for 1983 to replace Arnoux, and where he was comprehensively outperformed by Prost.

Former AGS owner Cyril de Rouvre bought into Ligier for 1993 and an all-British line-up of Blundell and Martin Brundle was installed.
Blundell had spent his rookie F1 season alongside Brundle at Brabham in 1991, only to drop off the grid in 1992 to act as test driver for McLaren. And, of course, win the Le Mans 24 Hours with Peugeot.
That was good enough for Ligier, which signed him up for his F1 race return in 1993. Blundell very much had the better of his mate and future management partner in the early knockings of the season – he outqualified Brundle for the first five races on the trot and finished third in the season opener at Kyalami.
Thereafter, Brundle clawed things back and there were some incidents for Blundell, although he claimed another podium finish at Hockenheim. By now de Rouvre was in turmoil – he had been imprisoned for fraud and the team was sold to Benetton magnate Flavio Briatore.

Results had been decidedly underwhelming with Renault V10 engines in 1992, but a further tie-up for the following year brought Williams’s gearbox technology to the team, and the JS39 was a much more competitive proposition – perhaps also helped by its driver line-up.
To be fair, there was little to choose between Brundle and his less-experienced team-mate Blundell. The two Brits were neck and neck in the qualifying battle in 1993, and Brundle outscored Blundell by only three points, taking one podium at Imola.
But it’s Brundle’s return to Ligier from McLaren in 1995 that decisively elevates him above Blundell here. He did only 11 of the 16 races in a shared drive with Aguri Suzuki, but trounced Olivier Panis 8-3 in the qualifying stats. Excellent drives at Magny-Cours (fourth) and Spa (third) suggested that he should have contested the whole season.

Without that sensational victory in the 1996 Monaco GP – Ligier’s first for 15 years and its last in F1 – Panis might have been one or two spots lower in this top 10. But this one result and performance were so remarkable that he must be included in the top four.
Like drivers such as Didier Pironi, Patrick Depailler, Arnoux and Prost, Panis was a product of the Winfield school founded by the Knight brothers, and from winning a Volant scholarship he was backed by Elf from Formula Renault through to F1, via claiming the Formula 3000 title in 1993. The latter accomplishment got him a Ligier seat for 1994, when he comfortably got the better of the experienced Eric Bernard and led a team 2-3 at Hockenheim.
Briatore had become the owner of Ligier, and the 1995 JS41 was described in some quarters as “a dark-blue Benetton” albeit with Mugen-Honda power replacing the Renault engines previously used. There were more flashes of promise – Panis outscored Martin Brundle in the races they contested together, and also took a fortunate second in the season-closing Australian GP at Adelaide, albeit two laps down on winner Damon Hill.
Six months later came that incredible day in Monaco and Ligier’s swansong victory. Yes, the weather was variable and there was an extraordinary rate of attrition, yet Panis was overtaking around the streets of Monte Carlo and kept the JS43 out of the barriers. Incroyable.

Ligier poles: 0
Almost half a century of rose-tinting has given the 1970s a devil-may-care aura, but Depailler was regarded as devil-may-care even during that era. For him, life was to be lived.
He had spent five full seasons at Tyrrell – while team-mate Jody Scheckter had largely got the better of him from 1974-76, Depailler was regarded as an excellent test driver. When Ligier expanded from one car to two for 1979, he was the logical choice to join Laffite.
Laffite was worried – so much so that he requested the team establish a pecking order with himself as number one. But none was forthcoming.
That didn’t matter in the first two races, where Laffite dominated in Argentina and Brazil but, by the time the F1 circus arrived in Europe, Depailler was finding his feet. He won the Spanish GP, and then two weeks later at Zolder his internecine battle with Laffite ended with both rooting their tyres and Scheckter taking victory for Ferrari.
Depailler had just one more race (Monaco) before he went on his ill-advised hang-gliding adventure. His accident broke his legs and he was sacked from the team without pay.
Ligier, meanwhile, went testing with Laffite in the gap before the French GP, tried myriad set-ups, lost its way, and fell dramatically off the pace.
2. Didier Pironi

Ligier year: 1980
Ligier starts: 14
Ligier wins: 1
Ligier poles: 2
The Parisian was already being viewed as an exciting young talent in his first two F1 seasons with Tyrrell, and his move to Ligier for 1980 led many to dub Pironi as the fastest driver around.
By the middle of the season, Pironi was in a purple patch that should have netted more than his solitary win at Zolder. He led for most of the following race in Monaco, only for his gearbox to jump into neutral on the approach to Casino Square and send him into race-ending contact with the barrier.
Then came Jarama, where Pironi led going into the closing stages only to retire with a loose wheel – as it transpired, the race didn’t count for points amid the political war ongoing in F1 at the time.
Next up was Paul Ricard, where he was second to eventual champion Alan Jones’s Williams, but where Ligier had been outthought by the British team, which stole a march by using bigger front wheels. Right after this was Brands Hatch, where Pironi was totally dominant before his race was ruined by two tyre failures.
Another win should have come towards the end of the season at Montreal – Pironi was first on the road, but had been penalised for a jumped start, which dropped him to third in the results.
Pironi was not only stunningly quick in the JS11/15 but also a political player who enraged boss Ligier and designer Gerard Ducarouge by coughing up his fine to FISA when drivers were missing the governing body’s briefings, undermining the teams’ struggle against the authorities. And then they discovered he’d signed for Ferrari for the following season, further stoking their flames of furious indignation.
1. Jacques Laffite
Laffite is the driver most closely associated with Ligier, and also took more wins than any of its other drivers - including the 1979 Argentinian GP pictured here

Ligier years: 1976-82, 1985-86

“He is a very French man, effusive and charming, and he fits in entirely naturally with the bonhomie of the Ligier lunch ceremony, when salads are tossed, steaks grilled, corks pulled. The Ligier team is, first and foremost, French, and in a very overt way – much more so than with Renault.”
So wrote Roebuck of Laffite and his team in his Autosport review of the 1980 F1 season. This was the second of two campaigns during which Ligier had shelved the Matra engine project and opted for the Cosworth DFV powerplant, and in both of them Laffite and his squad were leading contenders, only to lose out to Ferrari in 1979 and Williams in 1980.
Few would suggest that Laffite was ultimately as quick as Depailler (his team-mate for the first half of 1979) or Pironi (1980), yet it is because of his talismanic presence in Ligier history that he tops this list. And besides, he outqualified Depailler 4-3 (although the team newcomer was beginning to get the upper hand on the incumbent by the time he suffered his season-ending injuries) and trailed Pironi only by 8-6. On points scored, he narrowly shaded both during their time together.
Laffite, of course, had already given Ligier and the Matra V12 their first F1 wins in the 1977 Swedish GP, and with Cosworth power won in Argentina and Brazil in 1979 and in Germany in 1980. When the team reverted to Matra in 1981, under Talbot branding, Laffite came closer than ever to a world title – he fell six points short – with victories in Austria and Canada.
After a spell back at Williams, the team with which he’d started his F1 career, in 1983-84, Laffite returned to Ligier. With power now coming from the Renault V6 turbo, he led the 1986 Detroit GP just three weeks before his F1 career ended due to leg injuries sustained in a startline crash at Brands Hatch.
Laffite was commonly described as a good F1 driver rather than a great, but in Ligier history he was le plus grand of them all.

BEIJING, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from CRI Online: Recently, the ambassadors to China from Brazil, Georgia, Guatemala, Italy, Mexico, Pakistan, South Korea, Spain, and the United Kingdom, as well as online influencers and journalists from foreign media organizations, visited the Yangtze River Rare Fish Conservation Center (Chinese Sturgeon Research Institute) and the Yangtze River Rare Plant Research Institute in the Three Gorges Dam area to gain a better understanding of the ecological significance of the country's Great Yangtze River Protection Programme. The two special institutions operate under the aegis of the China Three Gorges Corporation.
The Yangtze River Rare Plant Research Institute is located in the Three Gorges Dam area and is also known as the Kingdom of Plants. Over the past few decades, the institute has cultivated hundreds of thousands of plants through seed introduction, traditional breeding and laboratory tissue culture, expanding the number of protected plant species from 560 to 1,181, while enlarging the scope of protection from the Three Gorges Reservoir area to the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
At the Yangtze River Rare Fish Conservation Center (Chinese Sturgeon Research Institute), the assemblage of ambassadors and media professionals took a closer look at the conservation, breeding and release of Chinese sturgeon. Since 1984, the institute has released 65 batches containing in total nearly 5.3 million fish. The success, the result of the joint efforts of five generations of sturgeon protectors over a 40 year period, left a deep impression on Max, an online blogger from Mexico. He said that Chinese sturgeon is listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the work done by the Three Gorges Corporation is of great significance to the population breeding of what was until relatively recently, a nearly extinct fish.

Crime against women: What the NCRB data says
This is according to 2021 data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).
Insight Bureau: Assam has retained the top spot in recording the most violent crimes in the country, followed by Delhi, except in 2020. This is according to 2021 data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).
The statistics also showed that after a decline in the previous year, Assam has continued the trend of increasing such crimes.
“But the crime rate of 76.6 cases per 1 lakh population – slightly higher than the 73.7 cases in 2020 – does not paint the full picture,” Assam police officials said. They attributed the number to the high reporting and registration of cases, particularly in crimes against women.
Analysis of NCRB data since 2017 showed that Assam topped all states and union territories nationwide with 78.6 violent crime cases per lakh inhabitant, followed by Delhi (60.6) and West Bengal (51.4). The number of cases of violence in Assam and Delhi rose to 86.4 and 63.6 in 2018, while Tripura ousted West Bengal to take third place with 62 cases.
These three states maintained their positions in 2019 but saw a decrease in violent incidents – 83.4 in Assam, 58.2 in Delhi and 53.6 in Tripura.
In 2021, West Bengal ranked second with 51.2 cases, behind Assam’s 73.7, while Delhi ranked third with 49.2 cases. Delhi and West Bengal swapped places in 2021 with 57 and 48.7 cases per lakh population respectively.
Violence against women
According to NCRB data for 2021, Assam had 168.3 crimes against women per 1 lakh population, the highest in India. Delhi was second with 147.6 and Odisha third with 137.8.
The data conveyed nothing new. Assam has consistently ranked first in crimes against women. The rate was 143.2 in 2017, 166 in 2018, 155 in 2019 and 154.3 in 2020.
The total number of crimes against women cases recorded in Assam in 2021 was 29,046, a 10.22% increase from 2020 when the state recorded 26,352 cases. The number in 2019 was 30,025, a jump from 27,687 in 2018.
In 2021, Assam recorded 46 cases of murder with rape or gang rape, two behind leader Uttar Pradesh. This was almost double the 26 cases in 2020.
The state recorded 1,835 counts of rape in 2021, compared to 1,658 counts in 2020. In 2021 there were 563 counts of attempted rape and 4,511 counts of assault with intent to cause decent outrage. Assam recorded nine cases of acid attacks on women in 2021 and two in 2020.
The state also recorded 432 cases of cybercrime targeting women, including the posting or transmission of sexually explicit material. It is the second highest in the country after Odisha, which recorded 565 cases.
Of the total crimes against women in the state, 12,950 were cases of cruelty by the husband or his relatives. The state recorded 5,866 cases of kidnapping and kidnapping of women, 3,362 of them for forced marriage.
The state recorded 1,948 cases under the Child Protection from Sexual Offenses Act, of which 1,317 were child rape cases, 424 were sexual assault cases and 158 were sexual molestation cases. The total number of cases under this law in 2020 was 1,496. On a positive note, Assam did not record any cases of infant or fetal murder. | https://enewsinsight.com/crime-against-women-what-the-ncrb/ | 2022-09-02T17:19:38Z | https://enewsinsight.com/crime-against-women-what-the-ncrb/ | false | 2 |

The Voice UK winners list IN FULL
THE Voice UK is returning for a brand new season with the hopes of finding its next big star.
We take a trip down memory lane and cast our minds back to the previous winners over the years.
Who has won The Voice UK?
2021 - Craig Eddie
Craig Eddie was revealed as winner of The Voice UK 2021 - making Anne-Marie a victorious coach.
The Scottish singer, 23, said his victory is yet to sink in.
His single Come Waste My Time is the first ever self-written winner's song on The Voice and has shot up the iTunes chart since he was crowned the show's winner on March 20, 2021.
He said: "My head is still in the clouds to be honest, I feel amazing, it's the best I've felt in my life.
"I never expected that, I think my brain is still in the studio. I never thought that I was getting through, I think when the intense music kicked in, I genuinely felt my soul leave my body."
2020 - Blessing Chitapa
The previous series saw Blessing Chitapa triumph over Jonny Brooks in the final two, to be crowned Voice 2020 champion on November 14, 2020.
She was voted as the winner during the virtual audience vote - a first for the popular BBC One talent show.
Asked by Emma Willis to share her thoughts shortly after being crowned the winner, Blessing gushed: "I've never worked so hard to try and make sure tears don't come out [of] my eyes right now, but I'm so happy!
"I'm so shocked, I mean it's been amazing. I don't want to cry on TV... but mum, mum, I made it!"
The singer continued: "Thank you to everyone who's voted for me, it's just been amazing. It's just been the best experience ever."
2019 - Molly Hocking
Molly Hocking was crowned the winner of The Voice 2019.
She managed to beat out stiff competition from the likes of Jimmy Balito, Bethzienna Williams, and Deana during the live final.
Her win also saw coach Olly Murs triumph over fellow superstars Jennifer Hudson, Will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones.
The final saw each of the four remaining singers perform twice, once on their own and again with their famous coach.
The lines were then frozen and host Emma Willis revealed that Jimmy and Bethzienna had the fewest votes from the public.
This left Deana and Molly to go head-to-head for the title by performing again.
Since winning the show, Molly has continued to write songs and perform online.
Latest on ITV
2018 - Ruti Olajugbagbe
Ruti Olajugbagbe became the shock winner of the 2018 show when she beat bookies favourite Donel Mangena in April.
The student and part-time carer, who was mentored by Tom Jones, signed a recording deal with Polydor records.
Her debut single Dreams reached number 1 on the UK iTunes Store, and debuted at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart.
She released her EP, which charted at number 49. Ruti was later dropped by Polydor records, and returned to college to complete her A-levels, resulting in her keeping a low profile ever since, reports My London.
2017 - Mo Adeniran
Mo Adeniran was led to success by US singer Jennifer Hudson, who also became the first female coach to win, over Into The Ark in 2017.
The singer worked night shifts in a hotel before joining The Voice and was once asked to deliver room service to a man who had tied his wife up in a kinky sex game.
He released Globetrotter as a digital download under the performer name Mo Jamil in April 2017, although it largely flew under the radar.
Mo's single "Unsteady" failed to make much of an impression in the UK but had modest success in Japan.
2016 - Kevin Simm
Even though Kevin Simm complained about his treatment during his time on The Voice, but the former Liberty X singer still managed to win the show.
Ricky Wilson became the first judge to mentor successive winners when Kevin beat Jolan in the last ever series to be broadcast on the BBC.
His winner's single All You Good Friends eventually peaked at No. 24 in the charts and his first solo album Recover failed to reach the Top 40 in the UK Album Chart.
He launched another attack on the talent show for "not supporting" him after they snubbed him for a reappearance in the 2017 final.
2015 - Stevie McCrorie
Stevie McCrorie managed to get a No.6 hit with his debut single Lost Stars after he beat Lucy O'Byrne in the final of series four.
He was mentored by Ricky Wilson and the Scottish singer was quickly snapped up by music label, Decca.
However, less than a year after Stevie won The Voice, he was back in his old job, calling time on his music career to go back to work as a fireman.
The following year, he released an album titled Big World, which reached No. 35 in the Digital Downloads Chart.
2014 - Jermain Jackman
Soulful Jermain Jackman was poised to be The Voice's first breakout star when he became the third winner of the show, beating Christina Marie and Sally Barker.
He became will.i.am's first act to win the series but his first single And I Am Telling You only reached No.75 while his first album sold just over 600 copies in its first week.
In 2014, he claimed he was quitting the music industry to continue with his studies in politics, having spoken about his desire to be Prime Minister while on the show.
Despite this, on Instagram the singing hopeful claims he is a “recording artist” and performed on the lineup for Labour Live 2018 - the party's summer festival.
2013 - Andrea Begley
Andrea Begley became the next winner of The Voice when she bested Leah McFall and Mike Ward in the final of the second series.
Mentored by Danny O'Donogue, she immediately faced criticism from will.i.am who openly voiced his opinion that his act Leah was the worthy winner of the show.
After the result was announced, will.i.am appeared to storm off stage and later tweeted: “You should feel the audiences vibration in the room tonight after the public's vote its #unexplainable.”
A singer-songwriter, Andrea is now based in Belfast, according to a 2020 article in the Belfast Telegraph.
It adds that "the partially sighted singer works as a civil servant and has released a new album, Soul of a Songbird."
2012 - Leanne Mitchell
Leanne Mitchell became the first ever winner of The Voice but a combination of poor album sales and public criticism of the show meant her career was over before it started.
Mentored by Tom Jones, Leanne beat Bo Bruce in the final but her self-titled debut record failed to make it into the Top 100 and she was dropped by her label.
After former coach Danny O'Donoghue blasted her work ethic, she fired back on Twitter, adding: "Unfortunately, I don't think anyone was particularly on my side from the start.
"I never wanted to speak up, as I suppose the next thing will be I'm 'bitter', which I'm not, at all."
She has since married and had a son called Leo and still holds her previous job as a holiday camp singer despite winning the inaugural competition. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/7885490/the-voice-uk-winners-list/ | 2022-09-02T17:25:17Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/7885490/the-voice-uk-winners-list/ | false | 4 |
More than 26,000 cordless lawnmowers were recalled after officials received 31 reports of either the blade or the bolt securing the blade on the recalled lawnmowers detaching.
The U.S. Consumer Protection Safety Commission said the affected models are Sun Joe cordless walk-behind lawn mowers with model numbers 24V-X2-17LM and 24V-X2-17LM-CT.
The CPSC said no injuries have been reported, but the defect could cause lacerations.
Sun Joe sold the mowers online through Amazon, Home Depot, Walmart and other popular retailers from June 2020 through July 2022. They ranged in price from $180 to $350.
Consumers are encouraged to stop using the mowers and contact Snow Joe to determine how to fix the issue.

A federal judge has unsealed a list of items the FBI seized from former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home during a court-authorized search last month. Read the list here:
There are few new details in this latest development.
The list includes U.S. government documents with secret classification marking; documents and photographs without a classification marking; magazines, newspapers and articles; documents with confidential, secret and top secret markings; empty folders with classified banners; empty folders marked "return to staff secretary/military aide"; articles of clothing/gift item; and books.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has not yet ruled on Trump's request for a special master, saying she will enter a written order at some point. Over the weekend, a federal judge said she was inclined to grant Trump's request, and a hearing on the matter took place Thursday, but it is now unclear when that decision will come.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — An attempt by the Loudoun County School Board to shut down a grand jury investigating the school system's handling of two sexual assaults was rejected Friday by the Supreme Court of Virginia.
The high court upheld a ruling in July by a circuit court judge who denied the school board's request for an injunction to stop the grand jury from proceeding.
The board argued that a special grand jury empaneled by Attorney General Jason Miyares is politically motivated and violates the mandate in the Virginia constitution giving local school boards authority over educational affairs.
Miyares maintains that the grand jury is needed to uncover why the school system allowed a boy who had been accused of sexually assaulting a girl in one high school to transfer to another high school, where he was convicted of sexually assaulting a second girl. Miyares empaneled the grand jury after Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, on his first day in office, issued an executive order requesting an investigation by the attorney general’s office.
Youngkin and Miyares, both Republicans, had criticized the school board during their successful 2021 campaigns. They said the board was not transparent in how it handled the case as it revised its guidelines over policies governing transgender students. The assaults attracted national attention in part because the boy was wearing a skirt when he committed at least one of the attacks. The boy was later convicted in juvenile court.
In its ruling, the Supreme Court said the school board “has offered no convincing argument” for why the grand jury investigation infringes on the provision of the state constitution that vests the supervision of schools in each school division to the local school board.
“A grand jury investigation does not render the power of local supervision meaningless,” the court wrote. “The School Board will continue to oversee the County’s schools exactly as before. The constitutional power to administer a school district does not bring with it immunity from investigation for violations of criminal law.”
The court also addressed the board's concerns that the grand jury will “overstep its bounds and proceed beyond investigating criminal violations.”
“The special grand jury is not hiring and firing teachers, spending money allocated for the schools, deciding where schools should be built, and so on, i.e. nothing the grand jury is doing restricts the School Board’s core constitutional power of supervision over the schools in Loudoun County,” the court wrote.
In a statement, Miyares called the ruling “yet another win for both Loudoun families and the Commonwealth in our fight for justice and answers.”
Wayde Byard, a spokesperson for Loudoun County Public Schools, declined immediate comment, but said the board was expected to comment later Friday. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Court-okays-grand-jury-probe-in-school-sex-17415527.php | 2022-09-02T17:26:37Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Court-okays-grand-jury-probe-in-school-sex-17415527.php | false | 18 |
A 32-year-old was killed allegedly after she was pushed off a moving passenger train in Haryana's Tohana station in Fatehabad while she was trying to fight a man, who tried to sexually assault her. The incident took place in front of the woman's nine-year-old son, the officials said.
According to the information received by the Government Railway Police (GRP), the woman took the train from near Lakhan Majra in Rohtak to travel to Tohana. The majority of the passengers had deboarded the train at the previous station, and most of the train coaches were empty when the incident took place.
"The passenger train was on its way from Delhi to Tohana, and the woman and her son had boarded it from Lakhan Majra," SHO of GRP police station, Hisar, Naresh Kumar said as quoted by news agency PTI.
"During preliminary investigations, it has come to light that one accused was involved in the incident. We are trying to identify him, and he will be arrested soon," the GRP SHO added.
Meanwhile, the woman's husband was waiting for his son and wife at the Tohana station. The SHO further said that the victim was trying to save herself from the accused. However, the man pushed her down from the train, and the 32-year-old woman died due to injuries.
Further, when the train reached Tohana, the father found the son crying profusely inside the train compartment. Later the nine-year-old narrated the entire incident, after which his father filed the police complaint. The woman's body was later found near the tracks at some distance from Tohana, the SHO said.
"A case has been registered against the accused under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 302 (murder) and 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty)," the SHO said. | https://english.jagran.com/india/haryana-woman-dies-after-being-thrown-out-of-moving-train-for-resisting-molestation-bid-10048679 | 2022-09-02T17:27:26Z | https://english.jagran.com/india/haryana-woman-dies-after-being-thrown-out-of-moving-train-for-resisting-molestation-bid-10048679 | true | 1 |
A whole raft of changes will be seen on the Diamond buses in and around Burton from next week. Staffordshire County Council has announced the revised timetables which will come into force from Monday, September 5.
The news comes as loss making bus routes which run between Burton and Uttoxeter have been given a major lifeline as part of a £7 million project. Staffordshire County Council has stepped in to offer a one-off 12-month subsidy to help commercial bus operators struggling to keep services on the road.
Beneficiaries include the 401 service linking Uttoxeter to Burton and the 406 Uttoxeter circular service. The Department for Transport has recently announced further grants for the industry until March 2023, but many commercial routes in Staffordshire are running at a loss and it is expected further help will be needed to sustain services locally, the council has said.

(The Hill) – President Biden on Thursday responded to the hecklers during his primetime speech in Philadelphia, saying that a democracy allows them to protest.
“They’re entitled to be outrageous. This is a democracy,” the president said in the middle of his remarks.
Protestors yelled from outside of the Independence National Historical Park: “Let’s go, Brandon” and “F Joe Biden.” The phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” quickly became a political slogan adopted former President Trump’s base after a TV commentator mistakenly interpreted a crowd chanting of “f— Joe Biden” as “Let’s Go Brandon,” in support of NASCAR driver Brandon Brown.
Biden’s speech on Thursday was centered around warning that Trump and Republicans aligned with him are threats to the country. It was framed beforehand as remarks about “the soul of the nation.”
Biden also snapped back at those yelling during his remarks, saying, “good manners is nothing they’ve ever suffered from,” according to Reuters White House reporter Jeff Mason.
The president emphasized in his remarks the danger of MAGA-aligned Republicans, arguing that they cast doubt on election results, spread conspiracy theories, attack law enforcement, do not respect the Constitution, and have blind loyalty for Trump.
Biden has had other interruptions during speeches throughout his presidency. In July, the president was interrupted by Manuel Oliver, the father of mass shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, during an event at the White House.
Biden responded, “let him talk, let him talk” when Oliver appeared to suggest that the bipartisan gun control bill did not go far enough. | https://www.ktsm.com/news/national-news/biden-to-hecklers-at-philadelphia-primetime-speech-theyre-entitled-to-be-outrageous/ | 2022-09-02T17:29:20Z | https://www.ktsm.com/news/national-news/biden-to-hecklers-at-philadelphia-primetime-speech-theyre-entitled-to-be-outrageous/ | false | 24 |
The goal of the Advisory Committee on Reconciliation in Place Names, comprised of 17 members who largely represent tribes and tribal organizations, is to help identify and recommend changes to derogatory terms still in use for places throughout the U.S., including geographic features like rivers, lakes and mountains.
“Our nation’s lands and waters should be places to celebrate the outdoors and our shared cultural heritage — not to perpetuate the legacies of oppression,” Haaland said.
A key part of the process is talking early and often with tribes and the Native Hawaiian community, according to Christine Johnson, one of a few committee members representing the Mountain West. She’s a professor in the anthropology and geography departments at the University of Nevada, Reno.
“People need to be heard and names that reflect times in history that are painful for people need to be considered because people shouldn't be forced to experience a dark part of history on a daily basis,” Johnson said.
She says the federal advisory group will also engage with state and local governments. In addition, committee meetings, which haven’t been scheduled yet, will be open to the public.
A separate federal task force was created last year to remove the term sq_ _ _, a racist and sexist slur against Native American women. In late July, the Interior Department announced the group had concluded its review of more than 660 instances of the term in use within federal lands. More than 300 are in the Mountain West. Candidate replacement names were recommended to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, which is expected to vote on the names in September.

The Shiromani Akali Dal on Friday announced sweeping organisational reforms, saying it will now follow the one family, one ticket principle at elections and ensure that half of its contestants are below 50.
The planned changes unveiled by party president Sukhbir Singh Badal are apparently triggered by the party's bad showing in the last Punjab Assembly polls and rumblings against the leadership of the Badals.
He said if the SAD comes to power in the next elections, the chairmanships of boards at the state and district levels would go to party workers. Family members of MPs and MLAs would not be considered for these posts, he said.
He said the party president would be eligible to hold office for two terms of five years each, and then have to take a break of one term. This will lead to induction of fresh leadership at the very top, he added.
A party leader, however, clarified that the new measures would come into affect only when the SAD constitution is formally amended.
Sukhbir Badal has been the president of the 100-year-old party since 2008. Earlier, the post has also been held by his father and former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal.
Sukhbir Badal dissolved the SAD organisational structure over a month back, following the recommendations of a committee that analysed the reasons for the party's poll debacle. The SAD won just three out of 117 seats in the February election.
The reorganisation will take place by November 30 through party elections supervised by a new Central Election Body, Badal said.
Recently, SAD leader Sikander Singh Maluka had threatened strict action against any indiscipline in the party. The warning came amid scattered calls for a change in the leadership of the party following its humiliating election defeat.
Badal said the party would concentrate on developing the next generation of leaders by reserving 50 per cent of the tickets in the next assembly election for party workers who are below 50.
Changes would also be effected at the party's core committee, its highest level of decision making, he said.
It would be reconstituted to include members of the new generation. Its members would include the youth, women and representatives of all sections of society, he said.
The aim is to give maximum opportunity to workers and groom them as the next generation of leaders, he said.
He said 117 observers would be appointed to oversee the organisational elections. Booth committees will choose the booth presidents, who will elect the circle presidents. They in turn will elect the district presidents.
The Youth Akali Dal would be reconstituted, and the upper age of its members fixed at 35. However, the YAD president can be up to 40 years old.
The Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes would be given representation in the party at all levels.
He also announced the formation of an advisory board, including learned people from all walks of life, who would advise the party president on important matters.
The changes also include formation of a parliamentary board to examine ways of attracting the best talent into the party and the best candidates for assembly elections.
Badal said a disciplinary board headed by Sikander Singh Maluka had already been formed and appealed to party workers to air their differences at the appropriate party forums, instead of going to the media.
The SAD president said the party would stick to its core principles, which include the need for a true federal structure and taking all sections of society and people from all religious faiths with it. He also stressed the need for peace and communal harmony in the state.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Paige Bueckers intends to play basketball in the 2023-24 season for Connecticut after recovering from an ACL injury that's sidelined her this season.
Speaking on campus for the first time since being hurt, Bueckers was adamant in saying she will not enter the 2023 WNBA Draft and will return to play college ball.
“I’m not leaving. That is not in question,” the 21-year-old Bueckers said Thursday during a media availability. “People asked me, ‘What are you thinking about, fifth year, COVID year, redshirt this year?’ I’m not thinking too far ahead about that at all. But I will be playing college basketball again.”
Bueckers had an injury-marred 2021-22 season. She missed most of the season with tibial plateau fracture and lateral meniscus tear in her left knee. The Minnesota native returned for the NCAA tournament last spring and helped UConn to the title game, which it lost to No 1 South Carolina. In 17 games last season, Bueckers averaged 14.6 points.
Bueckers is expected to miss the upcoming season after she injured the same knee in a pickup game in early August. The national player of the year as a freshman had surgery four days later.
“I was going full speed and I sort of tried to come to a stop and there was some contact, not a lot of contact, but it just kind of gave out,” Bueckers said. “I knew it was bad. I felt a pop. And then I went to the training room and I was extremely frustrated. I didn’t know how serious it was, but I knew something was wrong.”

Nashville-based Southern Land Company is planning to acquire and redevelop the East Nashville property last home to Lincoln College of Technology.
The development company — which has undertaken projects in Denver and Philadelphia, in addition to Nashville — will hold an open house on both Sept. 13 and Sept. 14 to discuss its plans, according to the company.
SLC drew headlines in 2014 when it sold its Elliston 23 mixed-use building near Vanderbilt University for $95.1 million. That deal (read more about the building here) set a then per-unit local record of about $287,000.
SLC also developed the Green Hills site home to its mixed-use tower Vertis Green Hills, from which the company operates its headquarters office (read here).
A document submitted to the Metro Planning Department notes Nashville-based Barge Cauthen & Associates is handling engineering duties. An Oct. 13 Metro Planning Commission meeting is slated, at which the team will seek an amendment to the East Nashville Community Plan that dictates uses on the site. The property sits within Metro Councilmember Sean Parker's District 5.
Sources said the future project, if it materializes, will offer multiple buildings, with the tallest expected to be no more than nine floors. Retail and residential spaces will be the focus.
As the Post reported in January, Lincoln Educational Services Corp. announced it has agreed to sell for $34.5 million its East Nashville campus (read here). According to a release issued at the time, the sale of the roughly 15-acre Lincoln College of Technology property was expected to have closed by the end of the first quarter. The release did not identify the prospective buyer and the Post could not confirm SLC will pay $34.5 million.
Tim Downey, SLC founder and CEO, emailed the Post the following:
“We are in the early planning process, collaborating with the city and other key stakeholders, and no plans have been finalized or filed. Our goal is to deliver an authentic redevelopment of Lincoln Tech with amenities that enhance the community. We have met with Councilmember Sean Parker, neighboring council members and community stakeholders, and we will further engage with the community in September through a series of initial public meetings. Community input, particularly from those neighboring the development site, is incredibly meaningful to us as we advance our plans. We look forward to sharing additional information as we work through the appropriate process.”
Previously, Parsippany, New Jersey-based Lincoln operated Nashville Auto-Diesel College at the site, after having bought the bulk of the campus in 2003, Metro records show. A name change for the college was finalized in September 2012.
Metro records are unclear as to the dollar figure Lincoln paid for the property.
My Nashville Post role has evolved since 2000 when I joined the now-defunct The City Paper. TCP became a Post sister publication in 2008 (when I began doing some Post work) and folded in 2013. I have been managing editor of the Post since late 2011. | https://www.nashvillepost.com/business/development/local-development-company-eyes-east-side-ed-campus/article_afc824b6-2a43-11ed-bb9a-03c090dc9b21.html | 2022-09-02T17:48:00Z | https://www.nashvillepost.com/business/development/local-development-company-eyes-east-side-ed-campus/article_afc824b6-2a43-11ed-bb9a-03c090dc9b21.html | true | 1 |

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 31, UBTECH ROBOTICS CORP LTD hosted a forum on "The Integration of the High Technology and the Elderly-care Service Industry " together with the launching of "The Global Strategy of Smart Elderly-care of UBTECH ROBOTICS CORP LTD". Experts and professionals in the healthcare and elderly-care service industry came together to discuss the development and implementation of a technology-driven smart elderly-care system and shared the valuable experience and insights within the domain.
At the event, UBTECH announced its strategy of creating a smart elderly-care system with several sub-systems within specific elderly-care scenarios. They also launched several robotics products for the healthcare and elderly-care domain. In addition, UBTECH announced key strategic collaboration agreements with China Merchants Health Care, Medical Care Service Company Inc (MCS) in Japan (A joint venture company to be established this month), and China Academy of Transportation Sciences Group.
UBTECH combines intelligent robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, coordinated by the UBTECH Smart Elderly-care Cloud-based Platform, for the aged group. The whole system provides nursing services for senior citizens living at home or in community centers. The cloud platform-based solution focuses on six key scenarios: services management, daily care management, security and heath monitoring, memory-loss prevention, emotional support and rehabilitation. The goal of the system is to create a comprehensive system with high reliability and security to provide the elderly a happy, healthy, and high-quality way of living.
Huan Tan (Co-Chief Technology Officer, UBTECH ROBOTICS CORP LTD and General Manager, UBTECH Healthcare Business Unit,), introduced how the company has been developing and integrating AI, robotics, and other high-tech approaches to improve the quality of life for our senior citizens. They apply this technology in the elderly-care industry to create new services, develop a new ecosystem, and generate substantially new values to the industry. The new services are brought by new technology, including the active interaction and companionship, autonomous navigation for uninterrupted and automated door-to-door care provider, the continuous monitoring of personal and environmental safety, precise evaluations, intervention plans, and rehabilitation exercises for the people with the cognitive, psychological and physical disabilities. The new ecosystem integrates robots and smart devices into an elderly-care service system that enables collaborative operations conducted by humans, robots, machines, devices, and IT infrastructure. These robots are regarded as intelligent service providers, a key innovation that can significantly improve the reliability and quality healthcare services for the elderly. Based on the new services and new ecosystem, new values are generated to the elderly-care service industry and the end-users with connected senior-care services in facilities, communities, and homes. The operations will be largely improved for the facilities and communities, whereas the senior people will receive some more precise, friendly, and active services, which bring high -quality lives than ever.
The UBTECH Healthcare Business Unit showcased five innovative and powerful service robots: Walking Assist Robot-Wassi, Containerized Delivery Robot-DR, Smart Wheelchair Robot - PathFynder, Open Shelf Delivery Robot-OSDR and Companion Robot-Welli. These robots directly address the challenges of the increasing shortage of caregivers, the fast-growing global aging populations, and the increasing demand for high-quality healthcare services, together with other hardware and software components within the smart elderly-care ecosystem. Additionally, UBTECH debuted a cloud-based Intelligent Elderly-care Service Platform, a "Super Brain", that can coordinate services between service robots and IoT devices for the elderly-care service domain. These robots can operate safely in nursing homes, assisted living communities, hospitals, among other healthcare facilities, providing personalized services for senior citizens
To date, the integrated solution of UBTECH's smart elderly-care service and the portfolio of the products has already been deployed, continuously providing services on several sites, including hospitals, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and retirement communities. UBTECH also officially announced a partnership with China Merchants Health Care in Shenzhen, Xinkai Senior Care Facility in Shanghai, University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital and Taishan Sanatorium of Shandong Province.
At the launching ceremony of building the Ecological Community, UBTECH announced 12 partners, including the aforementioned China Merchants Health Care, Medical Care Service Company Inc (MCS) in Japan, and China Academy of Transportation Sciences Group, etc. The partners are from the elderly-care service providers, the operation owners of medical centers, and technology firms.
Yanhong Wen, China Merchants Health Care General Manager said "…, through the cooperation of companies like UBTECH, we expect robots to provide critical services to the senior citizens, including the screening of health risk, continuous monitoring of the health, assessment and evaluations of medical plans, the early warning and intervention, the active and interactive companionship, and the cognitive and physical rehabilitation, etc." The two companies will continue to work together to build smart residential facilities to provide elderly-care services that meets the needs of the aging population in the community, to offer humanistic care, and to deliver comprehensive end-to-end service.
MCS Founder Takahashi Seiichi noted in a speech via remote video: "23 years ago, I started my first retirement facility in Japan. By 2017, we operated the largest number of dementia beds in Japan. Today, we operate a total of 322 healthcare facilities, including nursing homes and dementia treatment centers. Seven years ago, we opened a nursing home in Nantong, China, and subsequently launched new elderly care projects in other cities. Through the cooperation with UBTECH, we hope to combine the latest AI technology, intelligent robots and other products to transform the Chinese market." Grace Wang, Director of the MCS Group and the General Manager of MCS China, mentioned that the partnership will enable a smarter solution to provide services to the senior citizens, in 3 key areas: nursing and technology, digital transformation, and prevention.
Yong Li, General Manager of the China Academy of Transportation Sciences Group, said in his speech: "I look forward to working with UBTECH on the integration and innovation of the smart transportation and travelling, and creating a commercialized example model for the smart travelling in public handicap-accessible transportation hubs throughout China. "
The elderly-care service industry contributes over 20% of the GDP in developed countries, e.g., the European countries and the United States, compared with only 7% in China, representing a huge potential of the market. The size of the market in China is expected to reach 10.29 trillion Chinese Yuan (approx. $1.5 trillion USD) by 2022. By leveraging a comprehensive integration with the elderly-care industry, the high technology-driven elderly care services will help further improve the quality of life and wellness of all families, and benefit the country's aging population using innovative solutions.
Jian Zhou, the Founder, Chairman and CEO of UBTECH said, "We are committed to addressing the major challenges in communities of China, through our technological innovations, by delivering sustainable and real long-term values. In the elderly-care industry, we will leverage new and innovative AI-based solutions to better serve people and the communities, in which they reside, and accelerate the quality-focused growth of the intelligent healthcare sector."
UBTECH has accumulated over 10 years of experience and expertise in AI and intelligent robotics technology. Throughout the ongoing journey, from the exploration of creating services for the seniors in 2017, establishing an R&D center in North America focusing on the healthcare sector in 2019 and a healthcare business unit in 2021 focusing on applying solutions in various elderly-care scenarios, to the releasing its global strategy for smart elderly-care in 2022, UBTECH has been a pioneer and leader in the smart healthcare sector.

If Hollywood were to make the movie “Revenge of the Small Paychecks” for Labor Day 2022, it would be a horror film for bosses.
An intriguing plot line inside this year’s job market drama is that workers making the least are getting the second-biggest pay hikes among 41 job niches tracked by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
It’s a surprising outtake from the pandemic era’s wild job market, which has swung from unprecedented layoffs to an overabundance of “help wanted” signs.
The “Revenge” script sees employers, facing historically few job seekers, forced to pay up for all sorts of talent. It’s just another managerial nightmare amid wildly inflated business costs. Yet the stars in this storyline are getting meager paychecks.
Lansner’s mailbag: Is California 3rd worst state, 6th best or tied with Texas?
You don’t need a trusty spreadsheet to preview this plot twist. Simply drive through any major shopping district and see all the “we’re hiring” placards luring workers with seemingly ever-rising salary pitches.
It translates to the worst-paid employees getting record-setting 7.3% wage boosts in the year ending in July — far more generous hikes than the nation’s average 5.5% pay increase. And it’s twice the 3.6% raise this low-paid group got over the past 10 years.
These raises stand out, even more, when you look at the other end of the salary spectrum.
The highest-paid workers only got 3.8% raises through July — the second-lowest pay hike of the 41 categories. It’s only one-third higher than the 2.9% average increase for these highly compensated employees in the past decade.
Or simply stated: The lowest-paid workers have never had a larger advantage in raises over their better-paid co-workers in the 26 years such pay patterns have been measured.
Slim pickings
One peek at unemployment rates shows an unnerving lack of choices is upsetting employers in a hiring mood.
Look at California’s joblessness, for example. It fell to 3.9% in July, the lowest in records dating to 1976. Hey, that’s even below Texas’ joblessness — a first in 16 years.
And California is one of 26 states setting new record lows for joblessness this year. (Texas didn’t make that list, FYI.)
Such slim pickings of job seekers forced California bosses to enhance wages in the state’s lower-paying job markets. Let’s look at quarterly pay starts for 2022’s first three months in the state’s 28 large-county job markets.
Workers in the seven counties with the lowest weekly wages — Tulare, Merced, Butte, Fresno, Kern, San Joaquin and Riverside — had average pay of $1,005 a week. That was up 3.9% in a year.
Then look at the highest-paying counties — Orange, Contra Costa, Marin, Alameda, San Mateo, Santa Clara and San Francisco — where wages averaged $2,380 a week. Pay fell 2.8% in a year. Yes, fell.
Note that California’s average $1,644 weekly wage as of March — the fifth-highest among the states — was up only 1% in a year, the nation’s smallest increase.
Less gets you more
The lower the pay, the bigger the raise.
The nation’s pay deserts were found in Mississippi, West Virginia, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kentucky, South Carolina, Louisiana, Wyoming and Arkansas. Workers there had average weekly pay of $1,024 as of March, 25% below the national norm.
Yet this group saw its wages rise 8.4% in a year.
Conversely, the highest places for pay — Texas, Minnesota, Maryland, Colorado, Illinois, Washington, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and the District of Columbia — had average pay of $1,607 a week, 17% more than the typical American.
But the best-paid states averaged only 4.9% raises.
Bottom line
Consider who’s getting the nation’s largest raises this year.
No. 1 among the Atlanta Fed’s 41 job slices were workers aged 16 to 24 with wages up 12.8% in a year. Complain all you want about “today’s youth” if you must, but March’s pay increase was nearly double this youthful cohort’s 6.8% average raise of the past 10 years.
And why is everybody quitting? Forget all the psycho-babble about new-age thinking surrounding work-life balance. It’s simple cash flow.
No. 3 in these pay-hike rankings, just after the lowest-paid workers, came the job switcher. Pay levels increased 6.7% for those willing to find a new boss — that’s 82% above the 3.7% raises received by folks playing career hopscotch over the past decade.
Contrast that upswing with 4.9% raises for those who choose to stay with their employer, the sixth-smallest wage increase of the 41 categories. The raise gap between switchers and people with workplace loyalties has never been wider.
No. 4 for raises was non-white workers, with wages up a record 6.4% — double the 3.2% raises of the past 10 years. White workers averaged 5.3% raises.
The racial workplace divide can be debated another day, but the fact that wages for white workers are 24% more than the rest of the nation fits the past year’s big-pay/small-raise pattern.
And finally, there are those who toil in the businesses of providing “fun” — from dining to tourism to entertainment. Leisure and hospitality employment fortunes were whipsawed in the pandemic era, swinging from lockdown losers to big recovery beneficiaries.
These industries have average weekly wages of $540 — 60% below the U.S. norm. So fitting the 2022 job market script, leisure and hospitality workers averaged 6.3% raises through July — No. 5 of the 41 and more than double the industry’s 2.8% average pay boost the past decade.
It’s a scary picture for bosses, and the statistical impact of all those “Join Us!” banners on Main Street.

Call for local authorities to take back control over buses amid next week's strike action in Milton Keynes
Bus companies should fall under local authority control – that’s the view of Milton Keynes Council amid concerns over next week’s planned strike action.
Drivers for private bus operator Arriva are due to strike on Monday and Tuesday following a pay dispute between the company and its workers.
People have been told to make alternative travel arrangements and expect delays as MK Connect, along with other bus providers and local taxi firms anticipating increased demand.
Labour members of Milton Keynes Council say local authorities across the country have long campaigned to bring buses back under local authority control – something that changed when the Government announced privatisation of the industry back in the 1980s.
And Councillor Jenny Wilson-Marklew, Labour Cabinet Member for Public Transport, believes that giving local authorities more power over buses will better regulate the industry, improve the treatment of workers, and offer better service for residents.

Councillor Wilson-Marklew said: “Private bus companies are making cuts to services and workers are unhappy with their conditions – all while the council doesn’t have the power nor the resources to intervene.
"This is something that needs to change.
"Bus companies should fall under local authority control, so the council can put the interests and needs of residents and workers above those of profits and shareholders.”
Arriva has confirmed its workers plan to strike next week after negotiations collapsed between the transport company and union leaders.
Milton Keynes, Aylesbury, Hemel Hempstead, Luton, and High Wycombe, are among the terminals where workers will be picketing. | https://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/politics/council/call-for-local-authorities-to-take-back-control-over-buses-amid-next-weeks-strike-action-in-milton-keynes-3829913 | 2022-09-02T17:54:27Z | https://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/politics/council/call-for-local-authorities-to-take-back-control-over-buses-amid-next-weeks-strike-action-in-milton-keynes-3829913 | true | 1 |
NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Creatd, Inc. (Nasdaq CM: CRTD) ("Creatd" or the "Company"), today announced that it has received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel's decision to delist the Company's stock as the Company did not meet the $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing prescribed in Listing Rule 5550(b). As of the opening of business September 7, 2022, the Company's stock will no longer trade on Nasdaq. The Company is applying to have its stock quoted on the OTCQB marketplace effective on that same date. Management expects to file an appeal with Nasdaq within the prescribed time period, complete its Rights Offering, and apply for immediate reinstatement on Nasdaq.
Said Founder and Executive Chairman Jeremy Frommer, "While we are terribly disappointed by the Nasdaq's decision, we expect to have our Rights Offering repriced and effective next week and will rapidly appeal this decision in good standing with the stockholders' equity requirement. The Company has brought its operating expenses down significantly over the last 60 days to under $3 million per quarter. While revenue expectations of $1.25 to $1.5 million for third quarter show exponential revenue growth year over year, the Company has brought its monthly cash burn to approximately $600K per month. I remain confident in our business model and our ability to fill our financial obligations irrespective of this development. We will either prevail and be reinstated to Nasdaq, or we will move to the private sector. I have already begun productive discussions regarding alternative financing from the private market. The Company remains in discussions regarding asset sales as the data continues to demonstrate that, at current valuations, the individual components are worth more than the sum."
Continued Mr. Frommer, "The market conditions and the Nasdaq's lack of flexibility over the past few years have not been conducive to success and the spirit of entrepreneurialism that we had initially sought on the exchange. My goal is to create long-term value for our shareholders and if the Nasdaq is not the right environment, then we will endeavor to find one that accomplishes that goal. Creatd has matured into a technology company with a scalable business model. Our return on marketing is multiples of our spend. Our operational costs have never been leaner with a staff of 30. With the success of our upcoming financings, we will increase the marketing budget and attempt to achieve cash flow breakeven by third quarter, 2023. We expect the monthly burn of $600K to be reduced by nearly 50% by the start of second quarter, 2023, and revenues to exceed $2 million a quarter by that same timeframe. We expect to double revenues again FY 2023 over FY 2022. We will continue to do our best to update the market on a regular basis on our financial and business progress."

Step into the Gateway to the Future
As a brand, HONOR has consistent investment in Spatial Audio, AI and AR technologies, to unlock immersive experiences and get ready for the next digital revolution.
Unveiled during HONOR's IFA keynote session, Gateway to the Future is a new HONOR Talents initiative designed to enrich cultural heritage through the power of technology. In collaboration with ARLOOPA, HONOR challenged two renowned artists – Yunuene and Timo Helgert – to creatively reimagine the iconic Wasserschloss building located in Hamburg's Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The AR experience is now live on-location in Speicherstadt, and is also available for users to view at home via the ARLOOPA app, offering smartphone users a new way to discover cultural treasures through immersive AR. The campaign video is available here: https://youtu.be/7rwwZQw2C4M.
Introducing HONOR's Spatial Audio
Announced during IFA 2022, HONOR's Spatial Audio solution is designed to enable headphones to produce wide, cinematic 3D sound effects that create the sense of immersion required for next-generation AR and VR experiences.
At its core, HONOR's Spatial Audio is designed to deliver surround sound and 3D audio through headphones by using the accelerometer and gyroscopes in earbuds to track the motion of the user's head, remapping the sound field to bring users an immersive and delightful audio experience in all scenarios such as movies, music and games. And by means of the algorithm, the changes of sound on its way from the source to the listener's ear can be simulated. These effects include localization of sound sources above, below, behind and in the front of the listener.
HONOR's Spatial Audio is the first to support sound externalization distance adjustment, providing users to dynamically adjust the distance of virtual sound sources from 0.15 to 10 meters to suit a more personalized listening experience.
HONOR Talents: Applications for Interactive AR Artwork Category Now Open
Complementing the initiative, HONOR has introduced a dedicated Interactive AR Artwork category as part of its HONOR Talents global design competition. Within the category, contestants are invited to produce digital AR artworks which creatively transform their neighborhoods, including digital overlays for buildings, walls, parks, and other public spaces, helping to get communities closer to culture. Artists interested in the contest can find more information here: https://www.hihonor.com/honor-talents/en/
HONOR also partnered with the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in China to create a new AR artwork titled INFINITY. The phy-gital experience showcases an artistic interpretation of the universe, which the creative team comprising CAFA faculty members and students use as an analogy to promote intercultural dialogue. The art is available at HONOR's IFA booth through the ARLOOPA app.

After two-time NewsTribune Boys Soccer Player of the Year Yahir Diaz graduated, Mendota needed someone to fill the role of leading scorer.
In stepped Jasiel Watson.
Watson has been a scoring machine in the early part of the season, scoring 11 goals and dishing out four assists to help the Trojans to a 7-0 record and the Oregon Tournament championship.
Watson had hat tricks in Mendota’s first three games.
“Jasi has been a changed player this season,” Mendota coach Nick Myers said. “He’s come into the year totally focused and as the two of us like to say, he’s ‘locked in.’ He’s taken on the role of our main goal scorer and accepted that challenge. Jasi showed that last week to begin the season by getting a hat trick in each of our first three games. He followed it up with a great performance of goals and assists at the Oregon Tournament. Jasi is in for a big year if he stays locked in.”
For his performance, Watson was voted the first NewsTribune Athlete of the Week of the 2022-23 school year, sponsored by Central Bank, Witek Wealth Management and the Spring Valley, Mendota and Princeton McDonalds.
Watson answered a few questions from NewsTribune sports editor Kevin Chlum.
How did you get started playing soccer?
I’ve been playing soccer since I was 5 years old because my dad signed me up for MAYS (Mendota Area Youth Soccer).
What do you like about playing soccer?
I like playing soccer because I’ve been playing the sport basically my whole life and I’ve just been getting better and better and it makes me happy.
What makes you a good soccer player?
What makes me a good soccer play is I am very fast and quick on the ball and can shoot and score with both feet.
Besides soccer season, what do you like about the fall?
I like to hang out with friends and family during the fall and I also like to go to haunted houses.
What is your most played song recently?
Rumors by Lil Durk.
If you could get advice from any athlete, who would it be and why?
Someone whose advice I could use is (Brazilian soccer player) Neymar because I’ve watched his documentary and can really relate to him in most circumstances.
What is a TV show or movie you never get tired of watching?
A TV show I can watch and not get bored of is Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
If I could pick once place to travel it would probably be Brazil because I want to watch street soccer matches in underground places.
With what food could you win an eating contest?
A food I could eat and win a contest is the Starbucks cake pops. It doesn’t matter what flavor they are.
What are your thoughts on your individual performance last week?
My thoughts on my performance last week are kind of mixed emotions. I feel like I did play very well but at the same time, I always feel like I could’ve played better and there is more stuff I can improve on to get better at my game. | https://www.shawlocal.com/news-tribune/high-school-sports/2022/09/02/newstribune-athlete-of-the-week-mendotas-jasiel-watson/ | 2022-09-02T18:03:45Z | https://www.shawlocal.com/news-tribune/high-school-sports/2022/09/02/newstribune-athlete-of-the-week-mendotas-jasiel-watson/ | false | 1 |
Square Enix’s remake of one of their more cult-classic JRPG’s from the 1990’s, Live A Live, has made a good start in so far as its commercial performance goes. The critically-acclaimed remake — and one even we described in our review as “a title that should be mandatory for any fan of classic JRPGs” — of the original 1994 title has, with just over a month passed since its release in late July, already passed the half-million mark in total physical shipments and digital sales combined.
The news comes by way of the game’s producer Takashi Tokita who revealed the information via livestream. A commendable stat in its own right and no doubt a result of Live A Live’s being made available outside of Japan for the first time. The original for the Super Nintendo infamously never releasing in either the States or in Europe and accumulating an estimated total sales of around half the remake’s current figure. Ultimately, it’s another decent performance for Square Enix and their continued investment in their new-found HD-2D aesthetic/style of games. 2022 already playing host to not just one, but two releases utilizing such aesthetic — the similarly-acclaimed Triangle Strategy releasing back in March, also exclusively for the Switch. | https://hardcoregamer.com/news/live-a-live-off-to-strong-start-with-total-shipments-reaching-half-a-million/426982/ | 2022-09-02T18:05:23Z | https://hardcoregamer.com/news/live-a-live-off-to-strong-start-with-total-shipments-reaching-half-a-million/426982/ | false | 1 |
DESPISED ICON Celebrate 20th Anniversary With Rarities EP, Déterré
September 2, 2022, an hour ago
Montreal deathcore OG’s, Despised Icon ,are celebrating their 20-year anniversary via a special rarities EP, entitled Déterré.
Déterré means ‘Unearthed" in French. This is exactly what the latest release from Despised Icon is. The EP consists of five old-school songs dating back to 2004. It seemed fitting to remaster and re-release these early recordings to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the band, which took form in 2002.
Déterré is out October 28 worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records.
Despised Icon's Alex Erian comments, "2004 was a definitive year for Despised Icon. After switching from drums to vocals and recruiting Alex Grind behind the kit, we started experimenting more and more, blending various elements of death metal and hardcore together. Eager to get our name out, we played every show we could jump on and quickly recorded demo versions of 'Bulletproof Scales' and 'Warm Blooded'.
"After uploading both tracks to Myspace and mailing a few hand-assembled CD-R promo copies to labels, people were finally starting to notice. The next thing we knew, we were booked on our first US tour with Deicide and were in the studio working simultaneously on a split CD for Relapse Records and on our sophomore album The Healing Process for Century Media.
"Unearthed after 17 years and available on tape and 10” vinyl formats for the very first time, the 5 demo tracks on Déterré capture the energy and excitement of that era. We hope you enjoy this limited edition EP and look forward to sharing new music with you in 2023."
Déterré was recorded throughout 2004 by Yannick St-Amand at Wild studio for a few songs and drums at Studio Victor while guitars, bass, and vocals by J-F Dagenais at his home studio. The band produced the album and mixing was a joint effort between Yannick St-Amand; and Jean-François Dagenais. Alexandre Goulet created the artwork for the EP.
Déterré will be released in the following formats:
- CD Jewel
- Cassette
* Gold (Band Exclusive)
- 10" LP
* White w/ Gold + Black Splatter in gatefold (Band Exclusive)
* Gold with Black Splatter in gatefold

- Country:
- India
The CBI on Friday conducted search operations at the office of West Bengal Board of Primary Education as a part of their ongoing investigation into the alleged irregularities in teacher recruitment in state government-sponsored and –aided schools, an agency official said.
Sleuths of the agency, along with a data expert, raided the board’s office here during the day and seized several documents, the official maintained.
Earlier in the day, a division bench of the Calcutta High Court upheld an order of its single bench that directed the CBI to investigate the alleged irregularities in appointment of primary teachers in government-sponsored and -aided schools.
The seized documents may be of relevance in the probe, the official added.
WBBPE’s former president Manik Bhattacharya, who is also an MLA of the ruling Trinamool Congress, is also under the scanner of the central agency.

A federal judge has unsealed a list of items the FBI seized from former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home during a court-authorized search last month. Read the list here:
There are few new details in this latest development.
The list includes U.S. government documents with secret classification marking; documents and photographs without a classification marking; magazines, newspapers and articles; documents with confidential, secret and top secret markings; empty folders with classified banners; empty folders marked "return to staff secretary/military aide"; articles of clothing/gift item; and books.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has not yet ruled on Trump's request for a special master, saying she will enter a written order at some point. Over the weekend, a federal judge said she was inclined to grant Trump's request, and a hearing on the matter took place Thursday, but it is now unclear when that decision will come.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is asking Congress to provide more than $47 billion in emergency dollars that would go toward the war in Ukraine, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing monkeypox outbreak and help for recent natural disasters in Kentucky and other states.
The request, which comes as lawmakers are preparing to return to Washington and fund the government, includes $13.7 billion related to Ukraine, including money for equipment, intelligence support and direct budgetary support. Shalanda Young, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, said that more than three-fourths of the $40 billion approved by Congress earlier this year has already been disbursed or committed.
“We have rallied the world to support the people of Ukraine as they defend their democracy and we cannot allow that support to Ukraine to run dry,” Young said in a blog post.

The White House request will play into congressional budget negotiations in the coming weeks as financing for federal agencies is set to run out Sept. 30. Both parties will be seeking to avoid a government shutdown in the weeks before the midterm elections, but they will have to work out differences over issues like the COVID-19 aid, which has been a sticking point for many months as the White House has said more money is needed for vaccines and testing and Republicans have pointed to the trillions that have already been approved and money that is still unspent.
In Friday’s request, the White House is seeking $7.1 billion to procure additional vaccines and for replenishing personal protective equipment in the Strategic National Stockpile, among other measures. It is also seeking $2 billion to continue testing programs, including an initiative to distribute free at-home tests that ended on Friday as the government says it is running short on funds. White House officials say they have some tests left in the stockpile, but not enough to provide free tests if cases sharply increase.
Congress also has not moved forward on President Joe Biden’s $22.5 billion request earlier this year for the COVID-19 response. And funding is drying up for many of the community groups that received millions of federal tax dollars to encourage vaccinations.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the White House has repeatedly warned that there would be trade-offs if that money wasn't approved, and “that is precisely what happened.” The lack of free testing kits, for example, “leaves our domestic testing capacity diminished for a potential fall surge," she said.
The administration is also asking for $4.5 billion to bolster its efforts to fight monkeypox. Officials said they have already depleted significant reserves from the national stockpile to provide over 1.1 million vials of vaccine.
The money would help ensure access to vaccinations, testing and treatment, and also help fund the global effort to fight the disease, administration officials said. | https://siouxcityjournal.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/biden-seeks-47b-for-ukraine-covid-19-monkeypox-disasters/article_b5f708ea-893c-5dad-bb61-c6456aa20530.html | 2022-09-02T18:18:19Z | https://siouxcityjournal.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/biden-seeks-47b-for-ukraine-covid-19-monkeypox-disasters/article_b5f708ea-893c-5dad-bb61-c6456aa20530.html | false | 21 |
Researchers had a child-sized humanoid robot complete a series of questionnaires with children to assess mental wellbeing
Robots could help to detect mental wellbeing issues in children, a study suggests.
Cambridge University researchers had a child-sized humanoid robot complete a series of questionnaires with 28 children aged between eight and 13 to assess mental wellbeing.
They found that the youngsters were willing to confide in the robot, sometimes sharing information that they had not yet shared via online or in-person questionnaires.
The researchers say robots could be a useful addition to traditional methods of mental health assessment, although they are not intended to be a substitute for professional mental health support.
PhD student Nida Itrat Abbasi, the study’s first author, said: “Since the robot we use is child-sized, and completely non-threatening, children might see the robot as a confidante – they feel like they won’t get into trouble if they share secrets with it.
“Other researchers have found that children are more likely to divulge private information – like that they’re being bullied, for example – to a robot than they would be to an adult.”
Each child took part in a one-to-one, 45-minute session with a Nao robot – a humanoid robot about 60 centimetres tall.
A parent or guardian, and members of the research team, observed from an adjacent room.
Before each session, children and their parent or guardian completed standard online questionnaires to assess the child’s mental wellbeing.
Participants interacted with the robot throughout the session by speaking with it, or by touching sensors on the robot’s hands and feet.
Additional sensors tracked participants’ heartbeat, head and eye movements during the session.
Study participants all said they enjoyed talking with the robot.
Some shared information with the robot that they had not shared either in person or on the online questionnaire.
Professor Hatice Gunes, who leads the Affective Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory in Cambridge’s Department of Computer Science and Technology, has been studying how socially assistive robots can be used as mental wellbeing coaches for adults.
In recent years, she has also been studying how they may be beneficial to children.
“After I became a mother, I was much more interested in how children express themselves as they grow, and how that might overlap with my work in robotics,” she said.
“Children are quite tactile, and they’re drawn to technology.
“If they’re using a screen-based tool, they’re withdrawn from the physical world.
“But robots are perfect because they’re in the physical world – they’re more interactive, so the children are more engaged.”
Co-author Dr Micol Spitale said: “We don’t have any intention of replacing psychologists or other mental health professionals with robots, since their expertise far surpasses anything a robot can do.
“However, our work suggests that robots could be a useful tool in helping children to open up and share things they might not be comfortable sharing at first.”
The researchers hope to expand their survey in future, by including more participants and following them over time.
They are also investigating whether similar results could be achieved if children interact with the robot via video chat.
The results will be presented at the 31st Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN) in Naples, Italy on Thursday.

Ludhiana | PAU recommends PBW 826 wheat, OL 16 oats for general cultivation in Punjab
Dr Satbir Singh Gosal, vice-chancellor, PAU, Ludhiana, and Dr Ajmer Singh Dhatt, director of research, PAU, congratulated the wheat improvement research team and the forage improvement team for developing these varieties.
Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) has developed and recommended two new varieties, namely PBW 826 of wheat and OL 16 of oats for general cultivation in Punjab. Both varieties were approved during the meeting of the State Variety Approval Committee held under the chairmanship of Dr Gurvinder Singh, director of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Punjab, recently.
Dr Satbir Singh Gosal, vice-chancellor, PAU, and Dr Ajmer Singh Dhatt, director of research, PAU, congratulated the wheat improvement research team and the forage improvement team for developing these varieties.
Dr Ashok Kumar, director of extension education, PAU, informed that the seed of the new wheat variety PBW 826 will be available for purchase at all the kisan melas being organised by the PAU, Ludhiana, at various locations across the state, including Amritsar, Gurdaspur, Bathinda, Rauni (Patiala), Faridkot, Ballowal Saunkhri (Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar), besides the main campus at Ludhiana in September.
The new wheat variety PBW 826 has been approved for cultivation in the state under irrigated timely sown conditions. Its average grain yield is 24.0 quintals per acre.
Based on adaptive and multi-location research trials conducted under irrigated, timely-sown conditions in the state, wheat variety PBW 826 out-yielded the check varieties HD 3086, HD 2967, DBW 187, DBW 222 and PBW 766 by 15.5, 31.6, 11.3, 8.7 and 4.4 per cent, respectively.
It possesses higher grain weight and hectolitre weight than check varieties. Its average plant height is 100 cm and is thus slightly shorter in height than other recently released varieties. It matures in about 148 days and is thus about 4-6 days earlier in maturity than other recent checks. It is relatively less sensitive to high-temperature stress.
This is further corroborated by its outstanding performance under diverse agro-climatic conditions encompassing several locations with high-temperature stress. In research trials at the national level, PBW 826 ranked first for grain yield in the north-western plains zones of India (NWPZ) during all three years of testing (2019-20 to 2021-22) as well as in the north-eastern plains zone of India (NEPZ) during 2019-2020 and 2020-21. Based on its splendid performance for grain yield and other traits, it has also been identified for release in the entire NWPZ and NEPZ, simultaneously, which is a rarity.
Oat is primarily a fodder crop of Punjab and PAU has till date released several fodder varieties of oat. However, recently oat has emerged as a breakfast cereal and keeping this in view, the State Variety Approval Committee has approved a new oat variety OL 16 (dual type) for cultivation in the state. It has good fodder, grain and flour quality as well.
Its first cut for fodder can be taken at 65-70 days after sowing and yields on an average about 90.0 quintals of green fodder per acre. Its regenerated crop, upon maturity, gives an average 7.6 quintals per acre grain yield.
PAU hails Sukhpal’s appointment as head of Punjab farmers’ commission
Ludhiana Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) authorities hailed the state government’s decision to appoint agro-economist Sukhpal as the chairperson of Punjab State Farmer Commission. A principal economist and the former head of the department of economics and sociology in the university, Sukhpal has worked on tracking farmer indebtedness-related suicides. He was behind the exhaustive survey on farmers’ suicide in Punjab which later was undertaken by Punjabi University and Guru Nanak Dev University in 2016.
Hailing from Bapiana village in Mansa district, Sukhpal has undertaken 20 research projects on depeasantisation, rural suicides, rural education, rural marketing and farm reforms.
He has extensive experience in agricultural issues along with a degree in economics, and post-graduate research at the International Centre for Development Oriented Research in Agriculture (ICRA), Wageningen, Netherlands.
An author of two research books, 83 research bulletins/ reports and over 200 research/policy papers, he is a recipient of the German Fellowship Award by the ICRA Netherlands.
Vice-chancellor Satbir Singh Gosal congratulated Sukhpal and said that his role as the chairman of the commission would establish the foundation for pushing the agrarian economy of the state to a growth trajectory. His compassion for farmers and scientific temperament towards agriculture are a match made in heaven, he added.
Sukhpal said he would leave no stone unturned to work for the well being of farmers who shoulder the responsibility of nation’s food security. He would focus on enhancing farmers’ income and enhance profitability along with conservation of natural resources. A long-term agricultural policy for the state would be his key concern as the earlier drafts policies of 2012 and 2017 never saw the light of the day, he said.

(The Hill) – President Biden on Thursday responded to the hecklers during his primetime speech in Philadelphia, saying that a democracy allows them to protest.
“They’re entitled to be outrageous. This is a democracy,” the president said in the middle of his remarks.
Protestors yelled from outside of the Independence National Historical Park: “Let’s go, Brandon” and “F Joe Biden.” The phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” quickly became a political slogan adopted former President Trump’s base after a TV commentator mistakenly interpreted a crowd chanting of “f— Joe Biden” as “Let’s Go Brandon,” in support of NASCAR driver Brandon Brown.
Biden’s speech on Thursday was centered around warning that Trump and Republicans aligned with him are threats to the country. It was framed beforehand as remarks about “the soul of the nation.”
Biden also snapped back at those yelling during his remarks, saying, “good manners is nothing they’ve ever suffered from,” according to Reuters White House reporter Jeff Mason.
The president emphasized in his remarks the danger of MAGA-aligned Republicans, arguing that they cast doubt on election results, spread conspiracy theories, attack law enforcement, do not respect the Constitution, and have blind loyalty for Trump.
Biden has had other interruptions during speeches throughout his presidency. In July, the president was interrupted by Manuel Oliver, the father of mass shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, during an event at the White House.
Biden responded, “let him talk, let him talk” when Oliver appeared to suggest that the bipartisan gun control bill did not go far enough. | https://www.wlns.com/top-stories/biden-to-hecklers-at-philadelphia-primetime-speech-theyre-entitled-to-be-outrageous/ | 2022-09-02T18:25:38Z | https://www.wlns.com/top-stories/biden-to-hecklers-at-philadelphia-primetime-speech-theyre-entitled-to-be-outrageous/ | false | 24 |
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens are making a feathered addition to their injured reserve list.
In a video posted on Twitter on Thursday, coach John Harbaugh announced that Poe, the team’s bird mascot, was going on IR. Poe was carted off the field at halftime of the Ravens’ preseason game against Washington last weekend. Poe was joined by other mascots for a halftime game before being injured.
On Sunday, the Ravens tweeted a picture of the mascot with ice on his left knee, saying he was “resting comfortably in his perch awaiting further test results.”
In his video Thursday, Harbaugh said Poe had a season-ending injury to his drumstick, and the team would find a replacement.
“We’re going to get right into evaluating our options and see where we go next,” Harbaugh said. “See if we can find somebody to replace Poe.”

Southern California is known for high-speed police chases. In 2020, the California Highway Patrol recorded more than 2,200 police chases in Los Angeles County alone. On average, that's about six chases per day.
Most of those police chases never make it on broadcast television. But some chases are watched by thousands on TV, the internet and social media. Some, like the police pursuit of O.J. Simpson on June 17, 1994, become a part of history. Roughly 95 million people watched police pursue the white Ford Bronco carrying Simpson through the streets of L.A.
But why are we so fascinated by a criminal act that can potentially end in a violent crash?
The data behind police chases
In 2020, one out of every four pursuits in L.A. County ended in a crash. In 40% of those crashes, at least one person was injured, and 15 people died - some of them were innocent bystanders.
"True Crime: On the Run" is an in-depth look at our obsession with police chases and what's going through the minds of everyone involved.

HAHIRA – The Valwood Valiants (1-0) are all too familiar with their next opponent – the Frederica Academy Knights (1-1).
“They're almost like a region team for us because we keep we keep them on the schedule every year,” head coach Justin Henderson said.
Despite not being in the same region, the Valiants and the Knights have faced each other every season since 2014. Their meeting tonight in St. Simons will be their tenth since then as the Valiants face their first road test of the season.
However, Henderson and the Valiants’ familiarity with Frederica has given them an edge, knowing exactly what type of environment they’ll be playing in, though there are still concerns about the crowd affecting the players’ psyche.
“We’ve done this one plenty of times,” Henderson said. “There is always that difference between having the home crowd behind you and having a loud, opposing crowd cheering against you. If affect you with communication and stuff like that.”
Frederica’s offense starts and ends with running back Jordan Triplett. Henderson has spent the week getting his team ready to play steady, assignment football to contain Triplett’s playmaking abilities.
“We’ve got to meet him at the point of attack and gang tackle him,” Henderson said. “Meanwhile, they do enough screen plays just to keep you honest. You can’t bring the house every play. So basically, we just need to play assignment football on defense and tackling and getting to the ball.”
While just 1-1 on the season, the Knights have shown the potential to be very dangerous, racing out to a 26-0 lead against Tiftarea last week before escaping with a 34-27 win.
Henderson stressed the importance of matching Frederica’s intensity to avoid a similar fate that Tiftarea faced last week.
“Well Frederica plays hard and there’s no doubt about that,” Henderson said. “We need to match that intensity early, and hopefully with numbers and stuff we can wear them down. We have to come out the game swinging. We don’t want to find ourselves down three scores in the middle of the second quarter.”
Trick plays have also been a concern heading into the matchup. After Tiftarea took a 27-26 lead late in the game, the Knights scored the game-winning touchdown after busting out a flea flicker to get them into scoring position.
Henderson said his team has been practicing on defending potential trick plays from the Knights, particularly those involving Triplett.
“We threw a couple of trick play cards in the defensive scout, just in case,” he said. “Coach [Brandon] Derrick is a good coach, and he’s going to find a way to get [Triplett] the ball. Whether they hand him the ball 20-30 times or get him out there and throw some screens to him. They love to fake little swing passes to him and throw screens to somebody else off of it.”
As for Valwood’s offense, Henderson is looking to continue to open things up in the passing game via the running game.
“We’ve got to continue our success in the run game and just keep working in the trenches,” Henderson said. “I think with our run game, we’re going to be able to open up some things throughout the year in the pass game as long as we can throw and catch.”
However, Henderson believes the biggest key to winning the game will come down to technique and playing sound football.
“The biggest thing we need to focus on is our assignment, alignment and our technique and running plays,” Henderson said. “If we do that, and block out the rest, we can give ourselves a chance to win the football game.”

- In a late night, last-minute vote, California lawmakers approved a measure to give the state the option to keep its last remaining nuclear power plant operating for another five years, contingent on, among other things, the utility operating the power plant getting access to federal funding.
- The decision is a reversal of a previous decision to shut the power plant down and comes amid an energy crunch in the state.
California's state legislature voted in the early hours of the morning on the last day of the legislative session to give the state the option to keep Diablo Canyon, its last remaining operating nuclear power plant, open for another five years.
The state Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of the bill, SB-846. The legislation makes it possible for the utility operating the nuclear plant, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, to apply for access to federal funding to keep the nuclear power plant running.
The vote is a reversal of previous plans to shut the nuclear power plant down.
The vote also comes as California is struggling to meet its energy needs. The Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant provides 8.6 percent of the state's total electricity and 17 percent of the state's zero-carbon electricity.
On Wednesday, the California Independent System Operator (ISO), the nonprofit organization tasked with maintaining reliable energy on behalf of customers, issued two calls for California residents to reduce their energy consumption to avoid blackouts. The first of these "Flex alerts" asked California residents to conserve their energy use during peak from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday. The second "Flex alert" issued on Wednesday asked California residents to conserve energy during the same hours on Thursday.
The California energy grid is being pushed to its limits as high temperatures cause residents to use air conditioning, the California ISO said.
Money Report
Nuclear reactors in the United States are monitored by the federal regulatory body, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Before Wednesday's vote, one of Diablo Canyon's reactors was licensed to operate until November 2024 and the second until August 2025. The Senate bill makes it possible for PG&E to apply to keep the two reactors open through October 2029 and October 2030, respectively.
The nuclear power plant was slated to shut down largely due to anti-nuclear sentiment in the state and a preference for building out renewable power sources, like wind and solar.
But sentiment about nuclear power has been changing as the impacts of climate change have become more severe. Nuclear power generation doesn't release greenhouse gases, the pollutants that cause climate change. The state has struggled to stand up renewable energy sources as fast as it anticipated.
"International supply chain disruptions and delays in bringing new clean energy generation and storage systems online left the state temporarily behind schedule in meeting its renewable energy goals," a document provided to reporters by the governor's office stated. And in the text of the legislation, an extension of the life of the nuclear power reactor is called a "stopgap measure."
On Wednesday afternoon, ahead of the vote, Governor Newsom addressed the energy crisis and indicated it's necessary to keep Diablo Canyon open.
"For years and years and years, and I would put this in global terms, we — all of us — have been trying to outrun Mother Nature," Newsom said in a press conference. "But it's pretty clear that Mother Nature has outrun us. The reality is we are living in an era of extremes, extreme heat, extreme drought" and extreme flooding, Newsom said. California will experience triple-digit weather for the next week, Newsom said.
An extensive extreme drought has decreased the amount of energy California can get from hydroelectricity, Newsom said. And since the rolling blackouts California experienced in August 2020, the state has worked to speed up the "ridiculous and unacceptable" permitting process for standing up renewable wind and solar energy projects, Newsom said.
But despite California's efforts to ramp up wind, solar energy, and battery storage, the state needs to keep Diablo Canyon online "for a short period of time," Newsom said.
The legislation includes a $1.4 billion loan from the state to the utility operating the nuclear reactor, PG&E, to pay for expenses required to make necessary capital expenditures required to extend the Diablo Canyon operating license.
The state expects to be reimbursed for the costs associated with this loan with funds from the federal government's $6 billion Civil Nuclear Credit Program, which was passed as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure law in November. The $6 billion nuclear program is intended to prop up the existing fleet of nuclear reactors in the United States.
PG&E has to apply for access to the $6 billion in federal funding by Sept. 6, and for the utility to be eligible to make that application, the state had to pass its own legislation before the end of the current legislative session, ergo the late night, last-minute rush.
If the federal government does not approve Diablo Canyon for the federal funding, then PG&E, the operator, "shall return all unexpended and uncommitted loan moneys and the department shall immediately terminate the loan," the text of the bill reads.
Also, if California Public Utilities Commission, a state's regulatory office, determines that enough renewable or other zero-emissions energy sources "have come online in sufficient quantity to meet California's reliability standards, Diablo Canyon will not be extended," the legislation description from Newsom's office states. | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/business/money-report/california-lawmakers-vote-to-extend-diablo-canyon-nuclear-plant-operations-as-state-battles-energy-emergency/2976218/ | 2022-09-02T18:33:24Z | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/business/money-report/california-lawmakers-vote-to-extend-diablo-canyon-nuclear-plant-operations-as-state-battles-energy-emergency/2976218/ | false | 2 |
BERLIN (AP) — Russian energy giant Gazprom said Friday that it can't resume the supply of natural gas through a key pipeline to Germany for now because of what it said was a need for urgent maintenance work, just hours before it was due to recommence deliveries.
The Russian state-run energy company had shut down the Nord Stream 1 pipeline on Wednesday for what it said would be three days of work.
It said in a social media post Friday evening that it had identified “malfunctions” of a turbine and added that the pipeline would not work unless those were eliminated.
It was the latest development in a saga in which Gazprom has advanced technical problems as the reason for reducing gas flows through Nord Stream 1 — explanations that German officials have rejected as a cover for a political power play following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Gazprom said it had identified oil leaks from four turbines at the Portovaya compressor station at the Russian end of the pipeline, including the sole operational one. It claimed to have received warnings from Russia’s industrial safety watchdog that the leaks “do not allow for safe, trouble-free operation of the gas turbine engine.”
“In connection with this, it is necessary to take appropriate measures and suspend further operation of the … gas compressor unit in connection with the identified gross (safety) violations,” the company said.
Gazprom started cutting supplies through Nord Stream 1 in mid-June, blaming delays to the delivery of a turbine that had been sent to Canada for repair. Canada has since allowed the turbine's delivery to Germany, which has said that nothing stands in the way of it being sent to Russia other than Russia saying it wants the part.
In recent weeks, Nord Stream 1 has been running at only 20% of capacity.
Russia, which before the reductions started accounted for a bit more than a third of Germany’s gas supplies, has also reduced the flow of gas to other European countries which have sided with Ukraine in the war.
Natural gas is used to power industry, heat homes and offices, and generate electricity. Increasing the amount in reserve has been a key focus of the German government since Russia invaded Ukraine, to avoid rationing for industry as demand rises in the winter.
Germany's storage facilities are now over 84% full.
The head of Germany’s network regulatory agency, Klaus Mueller, tweeted that the Russian decision to keep Nord Stream 1 switched off for now increases the significance of new liquefied natural gas terminals that Germany plans to start running this winter, gas storage and “significant needs to save” gas.
It is “good that Germany is now better prepared, but now it comes down to everyone,” Mueller added.
The European Union has just reached its goal of filling its gas storage to 80%, ahead of a Nov. 1 deadline, despite Russian supply cutbacks.
European utilities have scrambled to find additional supply during the summer months to get ready for the winter’s heating demands, buying expensive liquefied gas that comes by ship, while additional supplies have come by pipeline from Norway and Azerbaijan.
Fears of winter shortage have eased somewhat as storage has progressed, but a complete cutoff could present Europe with serious difficulties, analysts say.

It was no secret entering the cut down deadline that the Houston Texans needed to find help for Davis Mills.
Specifically, their tight end group and wide receivers represented some of the shallowest in the entire NFL. The team was only rostering four wide receivers and two tight ends, a rather unacceptable situation in today’s pass heavy league and with the burden already placed on Mills to perform this year in what amounts to a full-season audition to become the team’s franchise quarterback.
Buy Texans TicketsHouston moved quickly to solve their issues at wide receiver, they used their third overall waiver claim on Tyler Johnson and some practice squad magic to elevate Chris Conley back onto the 53-man roster. In contrast, it appeared the team was content to stay put at tight end position with no sound of any waiver claims placed or workouts that the team was executing.
Yesterday, that news finally changed as word broke of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills tight end O.J. Howard flying to Houston for a workout with the expectation that a contract would be signed. This came almost 24 hours after Howard had reportedly been trying to strike a deal to join the reigning AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals.
It may have taken an entire offseason but Houston finally found their splashy tight end signing to hopefully elevate the group.
There’s a natural tendency to express caution with any signing that occurs this late into the off-season however there’s plenty of deserved optimism around the Howard signing that should have Houston fans excited. The Texans Wire had looked at the former Alabama tight end as a potential target for Nick Caserio since February and most of those points remain the same.
The 6-6, 251-pound passing target brings a first round pedigree and a physical presence that neither Pharaoh Brown nor Brevin Jordan currently offer the team. Howard was a nasty blocker and above average receiver during his time in Tampa Bay before suffering an Achilles injury in 2020. The injury not only sapped him of some explosiveness but also took off the same page from veteran quarterback Tom Brady, who clearly preferred throwing to Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate in two tight end formations.
Fortunately for Houston, Howard no longer has to appeal to the whims of the game’s best quarterback. Furthermore, his greatest strength is one that he still flashed plenty in both Tampa Bay and with Buffalo this past preseason. His strength to bully defenders and run blocking project as an excellent fit for offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton’s offense and should help to open up running lanes for rookie sensation Dameon Pierce. It’s a skillset that could see Howard starting games for Houston much sooner than many expect.
Brown has served as Houston’s primary blocking tight end and sat atop the depth chart as his position for the entire preseason. To his credit, Brown has put together a fantastic offseason and made an excellent case for why he should see plenty of playing time in 2022. It’s a situation however that is worth monitoring as Brown missed the entire preseason with a hamstring injury and has left the door open for playing time.

Jordan is a totally different tight end than his other two counterparts. The 6-3 Miami product is primarily known for his speed and pass catching ability, a skillset that didn’t exactly flash this offseason in the way Houston was hoping. Jordan still projects as the clear “pass-catching” tight-end when the team wants to use 12 personnel but isn’t the run-mauler that Lovie Smith’s offensive identity will crave.
The two question marks at his position make for a fascinating situation for Howard. His stock could not possibly be lower right now among the league, having seemingly failed to make both of the AFC’s top dogs in Buffalo and Cincinnati and being forced to come to the Texans for a more favorable situation. Can Howard’s historical talent, fierce run blocking, and desperation to make his claim in the league force him atop Houston’s depth chart? Or has the injury truly changed the dynamic in place for the sixth-year tight end?
Howard has the advantage of more natural talent and more experience in the league than either Brown or Jordan. His injury history and late arrival to Houston will make the competition truly interesting.
Houston may be the team most desperately in need of tight end help in the NFL.
OJ Howard desperately needs an opportunity to get on the field, play snaps, and restore his stock around the league.
It’s a great pairing #WeAreTexans
— John Crumpler (@JohnHCrumpler) September 1, 2022
The run blocking on display in Buffalo and the fact that tight ends will likely project as the fourth or fifth receiving option when they’re on the field bode well for Howard. Hamilton and the Texans will just be asking for serviceable to above average route running and pass catching ability for Mills when the team has him in play on passing downs.
Howard may have the opportunity of a career here in a situation that not only plays to his strengths but will offer ample opportunity to show them off over the next four months. Fans can see how much Houston initially chooses to utilize their new tight end during the season opener on Sept. 11 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Daniel Radcliffe and Evan Rachel Wood Make Out as Weird Al and Madonna in ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ Trailer
Daniel Radcliffe is strapping on his accordion as parody artist “Weird Al” Yankovic in the new trailer for “ Weird: The Al Yankovic Story .”
“Weird” is set to premiere on Roku’s free streaming channel Nov. 4, but it will screen a bit earlier as the opening film of the Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness programming series on Sept. 8.
Billed as the “untold true story” of Yankovic, the film explores the life and career of the parody musician, including his “torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle.” A parody of the biopic genre, the film tells a more fictionalized narrative of Yankovic’s rise to stardom, featuring many of his early hits such as “Like a Surgeon” and “Eat It.”
In addition to “Harry Potter” star Radcliffe as Yankovic, the film also features Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna; Quinta Brunson as Oprah Winfrey; Rainn Wilson as broadcaster Dr. Demento; and Julianne Nicholson and Toby Huss as Yankovic’s parents, Mary and Nick.
“Weird” is directed by Eric Appel, who co-wrote the film with Yankovic himself. The film comes from Funny Or Die and Tango.
Yankovic is a five-time Grammy winner and the best-selling comedy recording artist of all time. Along with producing such hits as “White & Nerdy” and “Another One Rides the Bus,” the comedian-singer’s 2014 release “Mandatory Fun” earned him his first No. 1 album on Billboard’s Top 200 chart.
“When my last movie ‘UHF’ came out in 1989, I made a solemn vow to my fans that I would release a major motion picture every 33 years, like clockwork,” Yankovic said in a statement in January.

MYKOLAIV REGION, Ukraine — Rockets roar out of a farm field here near the front lines of the war against Russia. They leave long, white contrails against Ukraine's famously big, blue sky as they head toward Russian military targets. These are U.S.-provided High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, known as HIMARS.
"Thanks for this present," says a Ukrainian reconnaissance soldier nicknamed Fox, who is watching in his green body armor with a knife and a walkie-talkie strapped to its front. Like some other soldiers in this story, Fox did not wish to give his name to protect family members living in Russian-occupied territory.
Fox directs fire for artillery and long-range weapons such as HIMARS onto Russian targets. Like most soldiers here along the southern front, Fox raves about the HIMARS.
"Yesterday, we had one job and it hit exactly on point from long distance," says Fox, who is describing a strike of about 24 miles.
In fact, the HIMARS deployed here can hit at more than twice that distance. When NPR visited the southern front four months ago, the Ukrainians had nowhere near that range.
Ukraine launched a counteroffensive this week in the south to take back territory from the Russians and break a stalemate in the region. More sophisticated Western weapons such as HIMARS are crucial to that fight.
Ukraine reaches deeper behind enemy lines
Col. Roman Kostenko says HIMARS have already helped a lot. Kostenko, a Ukrainian lawmaker who has been working as a commander in the south since the Russian invasion, says the HIMARS' range and precision allow the Ukrainians to strike deep behind enemy lines.
"After these systems hit the Russians' arms depots and bridges that connect to the city of Kherson, the enemy was forced to reduce the density of their fire on our positions," says Kostenko.
He's referring to key bridges the Russians use to supply their soldiers in Kherson, a strategic port city that fell to the Russians in March.
The problem, Kostenko says, is the Ukrainian armed forces simply don't possess enough of these weapons to help them really turn the tide.
Kostenko first met with NPR here in April. Asked how much territory the Ukrainian military has taken back since then, he says: "Not a lot."
Progress has been slow, sometimes an average of a mile or so a month. A soldier who operates an anti-tank missile tells NPR it took three months to take one village, because the Russians were so well dug into their defensive positions.
The U.S. has sent more weapons more quickly to Ukraine — committing over $13.5 billion in security aid to the country since January 2021 — than it has to any other country in decades, according to U.S. government historians. Kostenko says he's grateful for that. But he also says the army here needs much more to make a big push in the south.
"Russia is very resourceful," he says. "What we have now is probably 30% of what we really need in order to carry out successful offensive actions to liberate our territories."
Soldiers use flippers to cross a mined river
Kostenko says the troops here have had successes. He says soldiers recently took back a nearby village from the Russians. Kostenko cites the ingenuity of a special forces team and the element of surprise.
"They left at 3 in the morning and arrived at a river," Kostenko recalls. "The enemy mined the river bottom and, to avoid stepping on the mines, our soldiers used flippers."
Kostenko also says Western long-range weapons helped batter the Russians holding the village. He pulls up a video on his cellphone of a public school building where the Russians were holed up. There is a giant crater in front of it. Kostenko says that strike killed at least 20 Russian soldiers. He won't name the weapon, and only says it came from what he calls "our Western partners."
The Ukrainians still rely on older weapons with less range to do a lot of their shelling. One morning, a Ukrainian soldier led an NPR reporter through a field of dandelions. We passed part of a Russian cluster bomb jammed halfway into the side of a hill. Around the corner sat a rusting howitzer, partly caked in mud.
A small team was cleaning the cannon's firing mechanism with water and lubricant spray. Nearby stood a truck filled with pointy shells of different sizes that looked like giant bullets. The team lives in a big hut they've built out of wooden ammunition crates. A member of the crew named Artem, who wears a black Reebok T-shirt, says the Ukrainians captured the howitzer from the Russians earlier in the war.
It dates to 1989 and has a range of just over 12 miles. The howitzer is entirely manual. Artem shows how to aim it by spinning wheels that move the barrel up and down and from side to side.
"This is a good weapon," says Artem, who is 24. "But it is an old weapon. I would like something newer. But we have what we have."
In fact, the weapon is so old, the team is running out of ammunition for it. Artem says in a few weeks they will have to retire the Cold War relic.
Turning ordinary civilians into a fighting force isn't easy
Weapons are just one challenge the Ukrainian army faces. Another is continuing to train civilians to form a capable fighting force.
Maj. Roman Kovalyov oversees a battalion in the Kherson region. Ninety percent of his troops had no previous military experience.
"They have passionate hearts, they are ready to go into battle," says Kovalyov. "However, they don't realize how little they know."
The major says the biggest challenge in the first couple of months of the war was instilling discipline. For instance, he sent one group of soldiers out to provide cover for another one.
"They forgot water, night vision goggles, backpacks," Kovalyov recalls. "They were half an hour late. And, because of that, the second unit came under heavy fire. Thank God no one was hurt."
Afterward, the team that got shelled punched out the latecomers. Kovalyov says his soldiers have improved significantly since then, but he also says an improved army can only do so much against a better armed one such as the Russians.
"I have a clear feeling lately that we are being kept on artificial respiration," says Kovalyov. "We are given just enough so that we do not lose, and don't win.
Ukraine's military calls on the West for more help
Standing in a village in the Kherson region, which Russia mostly occupies, he addresses political leaders thousands of miles away in Washington, London, Paris and Berlin:
"Give us enough weapons, please. And we give you our word, we will knock the enemy out of our land."
But Kovalyov worries the West does not share Ukraine's goal of total victory, of taking back the 20% or so of the country Russia has seized since its illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014.
He says the U.S. and NATO allies have various other geopolitical interests such as China, and in the case of Washington, the future of Taiwan.
"Politics is a complicated thing," Kovalyov says. "I think they don't want Russia to lose."
But Major Kovalyov also says he thinks the future world order is being decided here and now in his homeland.

DUBLIN, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "US Healthcare Supply Chain Growth Opportunities" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This study measures the US supply chain software market size based on vendor revenue and excludes estimated revenue from OEMs. This methodology minimizes inflation in market size estimates that might occur because of double counting. Reporting and estimates are for calendar years, not fiscal years.
Healthcare supply chain software monitors procurement and distribution data to track inventory and supply within healthcare systems. The healthcare supply chain software vendors in this study offer a range of solutions to providers, such as tracking workflow, monitoring suppliers for risk, and using compiled data to predict the future availability of supplies.
The shortage of necessary materials and medication during the COVID-19 pandemic has heavily impacted the healthcare supply chain software industry. Because of the spike in supplies and staff necessary to sustain service, many healthcare providers realize that they need a system to increase efficiency and track the inventory levels of their suppliers.
The acceleration of necessary services has revealed gaps in the supply chain segment. With staff populations of healthcare providers decreasing, it has become difficult to manually track incoming supplies and medication.
Specialized roles that monitor a facility's supply chain are scarce. With this scarcity, healthcare providers are discovering that machine learning and AI technologies can deliver more accurate and timely data to respond to pandemic challenges. Fully automated systems create a sense of autonomy within the healthcare system and provide fewer opportunities for staff errors.
The study states prices and revenue in US dollars and only considers those pertaining to manufacturers. The study period is 2021-2026.

Dogs are said to be good swimmers and a video trending on social media proves it. A video surfaced over the internet in which a curious golden retriever named Flip can be seen swimming at Orange Beach in Alabama, US, but got scared after he reached near the manatees. The video was recorded by Sage Taylor. In the now viral clip, the happy dog can be seen swimming along the port at the beach.
As Flip gently paddle near the aggregation of marine mammals, the calm water erupted into splashes and it not only spooked the dog but also the manatees. In the video, Taylor’s screams can be also heard while she called Flip.
In a chat with Fox10 news, Taylor said that she and Flip had noticed the herd of about eight to 10 manatees swimming in the water off to the beach but observing them from afar wasn’t enough for the dog.
“She wanted to get a little more action, so she went in the water and scared all of them," Taylor added. After the incident, according to Taylor, the dog was a ‘little shaken-up.’ She also told the news portal that Flip didn’t let her sheer love for water die and back to enjoying her time in water.
Dogs’ antiques never fail to amaze us. Recently, a video brought smiles to netizens’ faces. It shows a canine running around in a quirky yellow hat-shaped raincoat. The caption of the video read: “Cutest little rain trot fetched from marumarimayu. Does your dog like rain?"
As soon as the footage was shared, it grossed a plethora of likes and views. The video has garnered around 1.6 million views.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia officials on Friday were investigating the death of a coal miner at a Kanawha County mine.
Blackhawk mining issued a statement Thursday reporting a fatality at the Coalburg Tunnel underground mine. The West Virginia Office of Miners' Health and Safety identified the miner as 34-year-old Kristofer L. Ball, from Harts, West Virginia. The agency is investigating. It had released no information about what occurred as of Friday afternoon.
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, issued a statement Friday saying he was “deeply saddened" by Ball's death.
“We ask all West Virginians to join us in keeping his wife Chelsea and their three children in our prayers during this devastating time,” Manchin said. “Every West Virginian and American is forever grateful for our brave miners who put their lives at risk every day to power our great nation.”

'To see any animal die in such a public manner is tragic': Shocked Britons grieve London police horse which collapsed and died suddenly at the Notting Hill Carnival
- Sandown, a chestnut gelding, collapsed at Notting Hill Carnival on Sunday night
- Tributes poured in for the 'poor horse' on social media grieving the 'sad' death
- Met said the death as 'sudden' and paid tribute to animal's seven years of service
- GRAPHIC WARNING: Story contains images some readers may find distressing
Tributes have poured in on social media for a police horse that suddenly died at Notting Hill Carnival.
Twitter users shared their distress at the news after Sandown, a 14-year-old chestnut gelding, collapsed at around 9pm on Sunday at the west London event.
Among the condolences, one person wrote: 'To see any animal die is tragic. For it to happen in so sudden and public manner makes it worse. My condolences to all Met Police colleagues of Sandown.'
A video captures the tragic moment in which the horse, stood at 16 hands high, topples over as an officer desperately tries to take control of its reins.
More officers then rush over to help their colleague tend to the horse, which is lying motionless on the floor.
Carnival goers can be seen watching on in horror while police attempt to keep the public at bay.
Despite being provided emergency care at the scene, Sandown was unable to be saved and tragically died shortly after.
While most responses to the sad death were tributes to the horse and colleagues, some users also pointed out who should be held accountable.
'So sorry to be reading this', one user said, 'I do hope there will be an inquiry into this tragic scene of events.
'Too hot? Too old? Fright? I hope the Met will be accountable.'
This is the moment a police horse collapsed and 'suddenly' died at Notting Hill Carnival
Witnesses said the horse looked really uncomfortable while officers attempted to calm him
An eyewitness said of the incident: 'I was around the horse for half an hour or so before it collapsed and it looked really uncomfortable.
'It was mumbling constantly and the officer was trying to get it to calm down.
'In the end it looked like the heat and the environment was too much for it and it just started fitting.
'It was horrific to watch, and I've struggled to sleep the last few nights thinking about what happened.'
A statement described the death as 'sudden' and said a post-mortem examination is under way.
The force states that a normal tour of duty for a Mounted Branch officer consists of a patrol of three to four hours but adds that this may be extended depending upon the duty they are required to perform.
It is not known how long PH Sandown was on duty before he collapsed and died.
The 14-year-old chestnut gelding has been described as one of the Metropolitan Police's most experienced horses, having served an 'impeccable' seven years in the force.
Most police horses retire after more than a decade of service when they reach the ages of 20 to 22.
The force described PH Sandown as playing 'an integral role in helping to police London'.
The Met said PH Sandown had been gifted to the force in 2015, quickly winning over officers due to his good nature.
The force described Sandown as 'a pro at policing all types of events across London'.
They added: 'He demonstrated his bravery and courageousness at numerous football fixtures whilst also being selected to perform at the Mounted Activity Ride at Olympia, and the Mounted Musical Ride.'

Pictured: Police officers desperately attempt to comfort the distressed horse on Sunday
A police horse who died after collapsing while on duty at Notting Hill Carnival on Sunday evening has been named as Police Horse (PH) Sandown alongside a picture of him
The force reported PH Sandown was also selected to perform at the Mounted Activity Ride at Olympia and the Mounted Musical Ride.
It went on to say: 'PH Sandown was a massive part of the Mounted Branch family and was loved dearly. He will be sorely missed by all.'
The Met added that, while it is too early at this stage to determine a cause of death, a post-mortem is under way.
The Met's Mounted Branch dates back to 1760 when it was first introduced to combat the problem of highwaymen in London.
These days, the force says it has as many as 110 horses and 117 officers as part of its Mounted branch who undertake a much more varied role in the capital.
Their responsibilities include high visibility patrols, undertaking community engagement, and specialising in crowd control at sporting events, demonstrations, public order events, and state ceremonial occasions such as Trooping the Colour.

The Met insists that the high vantage point and versatility of Mounted Branch officers make them a 'valued police resource'.
The force states that a normal tour of duty for a Mounted Branch officer consists of a patrol of three to four hours but adds that this may be extended depending upon the duty they are required to perform.
It is not known how long PH Sandown was on duty before he collapsed and died.
This year's Notting Hill Carnival was marred by several troubling events, including the stabbing of a young man and the sexual assault of two female police officers.
The festival returned to the streets of West London last weekend following a three-year hiatus forced by coronavirus.
Notting Hill Carnival is the largest street carnival in Europe and an estimated two million people are expected to attend over the course of the Bank Holiday weekend.
The carnival first started in 1966, when about 1,000 people attended, and is famous for its celebration of Afro-Caribbean traditions. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11174369/Shocked-Britons-grieve-London-police-horse-died-suddenly-Notting-Hill-Carnival.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-09-02T19:04:30Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11174369/Shocked-Britons-grieve-London-police-horse-died-suddenly-Notting-Hill-Carnival.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false | 2 |

Uefa: Paris St-Germain one of eight clubs fined for breaching Financial Fair Play rules
Last updated on .From the section European Football
Paris St-Germain is one of eight clubs to be fined by European football's governing body, Uefa, for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.
PSG have been ordered to pay an unconditional 10m euros (£8.6m) for not complying with "break-even" rules and could pay as much as 65m euros (£56.3m) depending on future compliance.
The break-even requirement is where clubs are ordered to not spend more than the income that they generate, and that they must balance their books over the course of three years.
Uefa told 19 other clubs they will be "monitored closely" in coming years.
They include Chelsea, Leicester, Manchester City, West Ham and Rangers.
The sanctions applied to clubs who played in Uefa's 2021-22 club competitions and came after analysis of the financial years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
The other seven clubs required to make financial contributions are AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus, Besiktas, Marseille and Monaco.
Combined with PSG, they will pay at least 26m euros (£22.5m), but up to a total of 172m euros (£149m).
These fines will be paid directly or be withheld from any revenues the clubs earn from Uefa club competitions.
The clubs in question will also have to pay more unless they comply with targets stated in settlement agreements.
The aim of the agreement framework is to accompany clubs through the transitional period between FFP regulations from 2018 and newly-approved regulations that will be implemented in a staged approach from 2023.
Financial years 2020 and 2021 were subject to Covid emergency measures aimed at neutralising the adverse impact of the pandemic.
Those years were assessed as one single period, with clubs allowed specific Covid adjustments and to average the combined deficit of 2020 and 2021.
While Uefa found that 19 clubs "were able to technically fulfil the break-even requirement thanks to the application" of those measures, it reminded those clubs that those deductions and consideration of historical financial results will not be possible from 2023.
Those clubs were also asked for additional financial information and will be monitored closely.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco-based HumanQ (formerly known as Experiential Insight) is excited to announce a $2 million seed round of funding, led by Kindred Ventures, to further expand on its technology products and grow a global team of coaches in the high-demand workforce coaching and development market.
Today, the HumanQ digital platform offers employees of its global corporate customers in 55 different countries an opportunity to connect with each other through live video streaming during group coaching sessions. HumanQ's coach-led group sessions span various company and societally-relevant topics to create support, accountability, and connection among the workforce and community. Through the intersection of technology and human interaction, HumanQ increases purpose, empowerment and impact for employees in their customer organizations, who include Microsoft, LinkedIn, Chobani, Spark New Zealand, Bidgely, VMware, Penn State University and Stanford University, among others – where remote, hybrid and in-office populations have an opportunity to solve for cross-geographical and cross-functional collaboration and innovation.
HumanQ was founded by Nishika de Rosairo, a human capital veteran who spent a decade working for Deloitte Consulting, Salesforce, Cisco and several other Fortune 500 organizations. Understanding firsthand the struggle organizations face in providing meaningful development opportunities, she developed a group coaching platform for employee development and connection, leveraging a global network of expert coaches. Working with all levels of employees within companies, from startups to large enterprises, de Rosairo and HumanQ are challenging previous models where expert coaching only focused on executives. Alternatively, HumanQ utilizes a group coaching and live video model where all levels of the organization are able to achieve greater impact aligned to top priorities, with every level of the organization speaking the same language.
In today's world where employee purpose is at an all time high, HumanQ is at the forefront of building employee mindsets and success skills that enable them to act with agility, think bigger, become more resilient, build greater connection, have courageous conversations, be more inclusive, and innovate for the future – all while providing a safe psychological space to do so.
This shift in power from the organization to the employee is further amplified in the number of boardrooms who are adding human resource experts to their directorships where talent management now tops the list of areas that need more time and attention in the boardroom, and even ahead of strategic oversight for the first time1.
According to CNBC, nearly half of global employees are unhappy in their jobs today, and nearly 43 percent say they frequently think of quitting their jobs2. According to HumanQ, group coaching has proven to significantly improve the outlook: 94 percent of employees going through HumanQ digital group coaching programs are more engaged in their organization, and 96 percent are more equipped to add value, with 90 percent saying they would recommend their group coaching program to a colleague or friend.
"We have partnered with HumanQ to add value across our global regions with the goal of building leader mindsets, creating organization alignment, and rebuilding connection and engagement in this accelerated digital age. HumanQ's Group Coaching model is unique and powerful, and we're looking forward to our ongoing partnership," says Liz Brackett, Global Business Strategy Director at Microsoft.
"Companies in every industry and every stage, from early-stage startup to large public global companies, succeed or fail ultimately based on the quality of their ability to recruit and nurture talented employees. The accelerated shift toward a hybrid of office, distributed, and remote work has changed how we think about the importance and scope of professional development and learning. Not just for executives, HumanQ's video platform and network of coaches offers a fun, accessible, and scalable solution for the entire organization. HumanQ is a pioneer in this area using a purpose-built video SaaS platform that taps into their global network of vetted coaches. We're thrilled to lead their seed round as they expand their team and product development." said Steve Jang from Kindred Ventures.
The seed round of funding was led by Kindred Ventures, an early-stage venture capital fund which has a track record of investing in startups that have become innovative platform companies such as Uber, Coinbase, Postmates, Tala, Tonal, and Color Health. In addition, notable angels including Toast CFO Elena Gomez, Natus Medical CHRO Lisa Paul, Google Head of Engineering Dinesh Chahlia, and several other angels from leading organizations also participated in this round of financing.
HumanQ is a live video platform for group coaching designed to create psychologically safe spaces that build engagement, connection, and impact at every level of an organization. To date, HumanQ has delivered to over 55 countries worldwide leveraging a global expert network of coaches to unlock human potential.

Controversial Government legislation that would empower UK ministers to unilaterally override parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol is damaging trust and respect with the EU, Maros Sefcovic has said.
The European Commission vice president also warned in a speech to the British-Irish Association conference in Oxford that it was “legally and politically inconceivable” for the UK Government to attempt to modify conditions under which goods can enter the EU single market.
The Government is progressing its Bill to give ministers powers to scrap the checks on Irish Sea trade created by the post-Brexit protocol which was jointly agreed by the UK and EU as part of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement to keep the Irish land border free-flowing.
However, Mr Sefcovic said the EU had already put forward “far-reaching” proposals to address issues of concern raised by stakeholders in Northern Ireland about the operation of the protocol.
He said the EU proposals would create an express lane for goods moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland and reduce sanitary and phytosanitary checks and controls by more than 80%.
He said: “These proposals have, however, never been seriously picked up by my counterparts. In short, they were dismissed without consideration.
“The UK has not even engaged in any meaningful discussions with us since February.
“Instead, we are now faced with the UK Government’s continuing determination to push forward the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill, set to disapply core elements of the Protocol.
“This unilateral action is naturally of great concern to the EU.
“It is not for the UK Government alone to change our bilateral agreement and modify the conditions under which goods can enter the EU’s Single Market and reach our consumers.
“This is simply legally and politically inconceivable.
“This clear breach of international law is extremely damaging to mutual trust and respect between the EU and the UK.”
Mr Sefcovic said by pursuing the Bill in the face of criticism, the UK Government was creating “deep uncertainty” for businesses and people in Northern Ireland.
He added: “Only joint solutions can create the legal certainty and predictability that people and businesses in Northern Ireland need and deserve.
“I am convinced that with political will and commitment, we can still explore the full potential of our far-reaching proposals and find a way forward.
“This call to the UK Government to engage with us has been clear for over a year.
“And it still stands – also vis-a-vis the incoming UK Prime Minister and Government.
“Further unilateral action may give the impression to many in the EU that the UK leadership is not that interested in co-operation with the EU.
“For my part, I stand ready to work intensively and constructively with any new UK interlocutor to find a common solution within the Protocol.
“The EU will never leave the table.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/09/02/maros-sefcovic-protocol-bill-is-damaging-trust-and-respect-with-eu/ | 2022-09-02T19:10:48Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/09/02/maros-sefcovic-protocol-bill-is-damaging-trust-and-respect-with-eu/ | false | 6 |
PITTSBURGH (AP) — MJ Devonshire returned a tipped pass 56 yards for a touchdown with 2:58 remaining and No. 17 Pittsburgh beat West Virginia 38-31 on Thursday night in the return of the Backyard Brawl.
The Panthers edged their rivals for the first time since 2008 after a pass by West Virginia’s JT Daniels smacked off the hands of Bryce Ford-Wheaton and into the hands of Devonshire, who weaved his way through traffic to give Pitt its second touchdown in 43 seconds to turn a seven-point deficit into a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.
The Mountaineers drove deep into Pitt territory in the final minute and Daniels hit Reese Smith on a fourth-down fling that appeared to bring the ball to the Pitt 1. Briefly anyway. Replays showed the ball skimmed the turf before Smith could bring it in and the crowd of 70,622 — the largest to attend a sporting event in the city’s history — erupted.
Southern California transfer Kedon Slovis threw for 308 yards and a touchdown in his debut with the Panthers in the opener for both teams. Rodney Hammond ran for 74 yards and two touchdowns before leaving in the fourth quarter because of a right leg injury that appeared serious.
Daniels, looking to revive his career following stints at USC and Georgia, completed 24 of 40 passes for 241 yards with two touchdowns to Ford-Wheaton and the pick that Devonshire turned into Pitt’s first victory over its longtime rivals since 2008.
Freshman running back CJ Donaldson ran for 125 yards for West Virginia as the Mountaineers piled up 190 yards on the ground. Yet fourth-year coach Neal Brown didn’t feel confident enough in his running game to go for it on fourth-and-1 at the Pitt 48 midway through the fourth quarter and his team up 31-24.
Daniels lined up in an effort to draw the Panthers offside and when he didn’t, the Mountaineers punted.
Pitt didn’t waste the opportunity. Slovis led the defending ACC champions 92 yards in seven plays, the last on a flip to running back Israel Abanikanda in which he slipped through three tackles for a 24-yard touchdown.
Four plays later Daniels’ pass to a wide-open Ford-Wheaton — a third-generation player for the Mountaineers — settled into the hands of Devonshire, who provided the exclamation point in the return of the 127-year-old series following a decade-long hiatus.
THE TAKEAWAY
West Virginia: Brown likely needs the Mountaineers to take a step forward in 2022. While Daniels definitely appears like an upgrade at quarterback, his coach continues to be snake-bit in tight games. His inability to trust an offensive line that held its own against a defensive front that expects to be among the best in the ACC if not the country was curious and ultimately, costly.
Pitt: The Panthers are aiming even higher than the ACC crown the claimed last winter. The schedule is user-friendly and while Slovis needed time to get warmed up, he did a fairly solid impression of former Pitt star Kenny Pickett, who helped unfurl the ACC championship banner he led the Panthers to in 2021 on his way to being a Heisman Trophy finalist and a first-round NFL draft pick.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
The Panthers will stick in the poll for a second straight week and could rise a bit depending on results elsewhere this weekend.
UP NEXT
West Virginia: The Mountaineers open Big 12 play at home on Sept. 10 against Kansas. West Virginia has won eight straight against the Jayhawks.
Pitt: The Panthers welcome Tennessee on Sept. 10. Pitt edged the Volunteers 41-34 in Knoxville last September.

August's jobs report shows labor market slowing back to trend, economist says
August's jobs report showed that July's blowout number of 528K jobs added (more than twice than had been expected) was a fluke, Glassdoor Senior Economist Daniel Zhao told Seeking Alpha in an interview.
"Today's jobs report shows that the jobs market is slowing back to trend," he said. The U.S. economy added 315K in August, the Department of Labor estimated, compared with the 293K expected. "This month was pretty close to where expectations were."
The unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 3.7% from 3.5%, but it rose for "good reasons", he said, chiefly, because more people came back into the workforce.
The labor force participation rate increased to 62.4% in August from 62.1% in July, with the prime age workforce (25-54) rate increasing to 82.8% vs. 82.3% in February of 2020. "So that's really encouraging."
That improvement wasn't across all demographics, though. The labor force participation rate for Black workers fell for the third straight month, Zhao pointed out. It fell to 61.8% in August from 63.0% in May.
During the month, wage gains "decelerated quite a bit month-over-month," he said. That should be a relief to the Federal Reserve, as it shows no sign of a wage-price spiral. The average hourly earnings rose 0.3% M/M in August to $32.36, down from the 0.5% M/M increase in July.
"Overall, I think the Fed feels the report indicates a soft landing is still in the cards," Zhao said. "The Fed is going to continue to raise rates. Inflation is still very high. In terms of how this might change the trajectory or rate increases, I think that's not obvious. I would say the Fed is more likely to rely on the inflation numbers to guide rate increases than the labor market data because of how high inflation continues to be."
So essentially, there's nothing in the August report that would change the Fed's path. However, traders are reducing the probability of a 75 basis-point rate increase to 58.0% vs. 75.0% a day earlier, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
The central bank will certainly be looking at consumer price index and personal consumption expenditures numbers. July PCE numbers came out last week, showing a 6.3% Y/Y increase, in line with expectations, and core PCE rising 4.6%, just under the 4.7% consensus, were still far above the Fed's inflation target of 2%.
August CPI numbers will be released on Sept. 13, before the Fed's next meeting on Sept. 20-21. The consensus estimates for August CPI currently stands at +8.7% Y/Y and for core CPI, which excludes energy and food, at +6.1%.
"The labor market is slowing. We're seeing that across a host of indicators, so it's not just the job gains number, but looking at job openings, even when we listen to employees and employers, we're hearing that the market is cooling, though still very hot."
For example, in talking with recruiters, they're saying a candidate last year at this time would about five offers, and "this year a candidate may have two to three offers, instead," he Zhao said.
While the higher unemployment rate isn't a worry for now, "if we continue to see an increase in the unemployment rate in coming months, that would be red flag," he said.
On Wednesday, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said she expects the central bank will need to boost its key rate to over 4% and keep it there for all of 2023

Britney Spears has posted an open letter to her sons.
The Grammy winner took to Instagram on Thursday and responded to an interview her son, Jayden Federline, 15, gave for an upcoming British ITV documentary about the Federline family.
The documentary has been previewed by the British newspaper the DailyMail, and an article about the interview was written by the filmmaker, Daphne Barak for the tabloid. Photos of the Federline family, including with their father, Kevin, and other family members are shown, including Spears' other son, Sean Preston, 16.
Stacker compiled a list of counties with the highest COVID-19 infection rates in Georgia using data from U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Click for more.
In the article, Barak writes,"They are both handsome, creative and curious about what life might offer them."
Jayden Federline reportedly said that despite choosing to not see his mother for several months, he hopes time will heal their family.
"I love you a lot," Jayden Federline said of his mother. "I hope for the best for you. Maybe one day we can sit down like this and talk again."
In Spears' post, she wrote, "I say to my son Jayden that I send all the love in the world to you every day for the rest of my life !!!! My love for my children has no boundaries."
Federline reportedly addressed the challenges both he and his older brother, who did not do an on-camera interview for the documentary, have felt in recent years.

"We've both been through so much pressure in the past that this is our safe place now, to process all the emotional trauma we've been through to heal, heal our mental state," Federline reportedly said in the documentary.
Spears seemed to respond to those specific comments in her post, writing, "It deeply saddens me to know his outcry of saying I wasn't up to his expectations of a mother."
Spears also took issue with her son defending their father, Kevin Federline, and her parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears.
Spears' Instagram post comes days after the star posted and then made private a 22-minute audio clip on YouTube in which she addressed her conservatorship and the alleged abuse she says she was put through by her family.
CNN has reached out to Spears' representatives for further comment.
