WASHINGTON (AP) — It was the setting for “National Treasure,” the movie in which Nicolas Cage’s character tries to steal the Declaration of Independence. It has long been among the most trafficked tourist destinations in the nation’s capital.
But what the National Archives and Records Administration has never been — until now — is the locus of a criminal investigation of a former president.
Yet that’s exactly where the agency finds itself after sending a referral to the FBI stating that 15 boxes recovered from former President Donald Trump’s Florida home in January contained dozens of documents with classified markings.
“I don’t think Donald Trump has politicized the National Archives,” said Tim Naftali, the first director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. “I think what Donald Trump did was cross red lines that civil servants had to respond to.”
Those government workers operate out of the public eye, behind the marble façade of the Archives building in downtown Washington. It’s there, beyond the Hollywood plotlines, where a crucial component of the federal bureaucracy resides, with dozens of employees acting as the custodians of American history, preserving records that range from the mundane to the monumental.
A closer look at the National Archives, its history and how it ended up in the middle of a political maelstrom:
A MASSIVE COLLECTION
The mission of the National Archives, which was founded by Congress in 1934, sounds straightforward: to be the nation’s record-keeper. It’s a daunting task that has only grown more complex over time.
While the Archives safeguards precious national documents such as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, that’s only the public face of their sprawling collection, which spans 13 billion pages of text and 10 million maps, charts and drawings, as well as tens of millions of photographs, films and other records.
In addition to its work in Washington, the Archives oversees 13 presidential libraries and 14 regional archives across the country.
___
ARCHIVIST FOR A NATION
The Archivist of the United States is responsible for running the agency. The last-Senate confirmed leader was David Ferriero, who stepped down in April after serving 12 years under three presidents.
Ferriero recalled in an April interview with The Washington Post how he watched from the windows of the Archives building on Jan. 6, 2021, as the crowd of Trump supporters marched past on their way to breach the Capitol. He called it the worst day of his life.
More than a year later he decided to retire, in part, because of fears about the nation’s political trajectory.
“It’s important to me, that this administration replace me,” he told the Post. “I’m concerned about what’s going to happen in 2024. I don’t want it left to … the unknowns of the presidential election.”
His deputy, Debra Steidel Wall, is serving as the acting archivist while President Joe Biden’s nominee, Colleen Joy Shogan, awaits a Senate confirmation process this fall. The archivist serves in the role until deciding to retire.
___
‘NO SUCH THINGS AS MEMENTOS’
The Archives serves as the final resting spot for the work of every White House.
After the Watergate scandal and Nixon’s resignation, Congress passed a law in 1978 to ensure that all presidential records — written, electronic material created by the president, the vice president, or any other member of the executive branch in an official capacity — are preserved and turned over to the Archives at the end of an administration. The law states that a president’s records are not his or her own, but are the property of the federal government and must be treated as such.
When a new administration begins, White House staff receive a brochure on the law and step-by-step instructions on how to preserve records. The preservation requirements cover a wide range of items, including presents and letters from foreign leaders. “There are no such things as mementos,” said Lee White, the executive director of the National Coalition for History.
In addition, the law requires that even while in office, the president or any member of that administration must first seek the advice of the archivist before destroying any record, a practice Trump and his aides reportedly ignored throughout his four years in office.
“Everything he writes down is essentially a presidential record. It’s not his property,” White said. “It is so basic to the whole concept of why the Presidential Records Act was created.”
“At noon on Inauguration Day, the custody transfers to the archivist. Period. There is no maybe. It’s the law,” he added.
___
AN UNPRECEDENTED DECISION
The rules of the Presidential Records Act are central to the FBI’s investigation of Trump.
After Trump left office, the Archives discovered that records from his White House were missing. What followed was a yearlong back-and-forth between the Archives’ legal counsel and Trump’s lawyers that resulted in the voluntary return of 15 boxes of presidential records. Upon opening the boxes, the agency discovered that 14 of them contained classified documents and information.
Recognizing a potential crime, the agency made the unprecedented decision to refer the matter to the Justice Department. That move culminated in the search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in August. FBI agents recovered more than 100 classified records, including some that were stashed in the former president’s office among personal items.
Since the Aug. 8 search, the Archives and its employees have been bombarded with threats and accusations. The acting archivist in an email to the agency’s staff noted their work is nonpartisan and urged them to hold steadfast to their mission.
“The National Archives has been the focus of intense scrutiny for months, this week especially, with many people ascribing political motivation to our actions,” Wall wrote in an Aug. 24 letter. “NARA has received messages from the public accusing us of corruption and conspiring against the former President, or congratulating NARA for ‘bringing him down.’”
“Neither is accurate or welcome,” she added.
Wall has worked for more than three decades at the Archives, starting as an archivist trainee and advancing to second in line. She said in her letter that despite the political storm surrounding the agency, staff must continue their work “without favor or fear, in the service of our democracy.”
___
AN ARCHIVIST CONFIRMATION BATTLE?
Five days before the Mar-a-Lago search, Biden announced he was nominating Shogan, an executive at the White House Historical Association who previously spent a decade working at the Library of Congress, as the next archivist.
Nominees for the post are typically confirmed without controversy or fanfare. But that’s unlikely this time.
Shogan faces a charged confirmation process as Republicans demand answers about the Justice Department’s investigation and the Archives’ role in facilitating it. A confirmation hearing this fall has not yet been scheduled but could end up being unusually contentious.
Republicans in the House and Senate have pushed for more information about how the Archives made the decision to refer Trump’s case to federal investigators.
Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, sent a letter Thursday demanding that the Archives’ watchdog provide documents and communications about the case.
“Transparency is particularly important in the post-pandemic era when Americans are lacking trust in our institutions,” Comer wrote.
So far, the National Archives has denied requests from both Democrats and Republicans on the committees that oversee the agency, instead referring them to the Justice Department where the investigation is now unfolding.

Why traditional medicine needs to be integrated into SA's healthcare system
Refiloe Mpakanyane speaks to resident GP & CEO of Proactive Health Solutions, Dr Fundile Nyati on the integral role of traditional medicine in South Africa's healthcare system.
A decade ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) encouraged all of its member countries to invest and develop indigenous healing systems in their countries, says Nyati.
This has led to an increase in research on the untapped potential of indigenous plants coupled with medicinal properties.
According to research, 60% to 80% of South Africans rely on the traditional healthcare sector for their basic health needs, in part due to it being more accessible than biomedical healthcare.
This highlights the need for the practical cohabitation of traditional medicinal practices within the national healthcare framework.
South Africa, after the establishment of the Traditional Health Practitioners Act 22 of 2007 has also established an interim traditional health practitioners council in an effort to regulate how traditional medicine is practiced in the country and its integration with biomedical medicine.
It is important that these two systems that were historically separated are actually made to work together with collaboration and cross-referrals, and obviously there's a lot of awareness that needs to be made even on biomedical doctors like myself because we have a very negative view based on some of the few cases that we normally see in hospitals of people who've got toxicity from some of the herbal medication.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Dillon Gabriel passed for two touchdowns and ran for another and No. 9 Oklahoma rolled past UTEP 45-13 on Saturday for Brent Venables' first career victory as a head coach.
Venables was a full-time assistant for the previous 26 years in stints at Kansas State, Oklahoma and Clemson. He took over after Lincoln Riley left to take the Southern California job last December.
Gabriel, a transfer from Central Florida, connected on 15 of 23 passes for 233 yards. Eric Gray rushed for 102 yards, Brayden Willis caught two touchdown passes and Marcus Major rushed for two scores for the Sooners.
Gavin Hardison passed for 244 yards, Tyrin Smith caught eight passes for 71 yards and Reynaldo Flores caught seven passes for 76 yards for the Miners (1-1).
Oklahoma gained 301 yards in the first half to take a 28-10 lead. Gabriel passed for 164 yards and two touchdowns before the break. Reggie Grimes led the Oklahoma defense with 2 1/2 sacks in the first half, including one on the final play of the second quarter to snuff out a scoring threat.
Oklahoma then held UTEP to 99 yards and three points in the second half.
THE TAKEAWAY
UTEP: The Miners couldn't get anything going. They had just 28 yards rushing on 31 attempts, and the Sooners finished with six sacks and 10 quarterback hurries.
Oklahoma: The Sooners rushed for 259 yards and passed for 233. Oklahoma averaged 8.1 yards per play and 6.8 yards per carry and did not commit a turnover. The Sooners were balanced offensively and protected Gabriel relatively well.

The Forbes contributor found that a group of small exchanges had BTC trading volumes roughly 95% less than those reported, while those operating “with little or no regulatory oversight” — including Binance and Bybit — claimed to have more than double the analyzed volume: $217 billion as opposed to $89 billion.

Ligue 1 top three win, stay unbeaten
Undefeated in six league matches including five wins and 24 goals scored, Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappe are in scintillating form ahead of next week's opening Champions League clash with Juventus.
Mbappe scored twice from Lionel Messi assists as they won 3-0 at 10-man Nantes to remain leaders of Ligue 1 on Saturday.
But the French champions were dealt a blow from Vitinha's apparent knee injury. The Portuguese midfielder was forced off the pitch in the first half after falling on the turf following a late tackle from defender Fabio, who was sent off.
Hosts Nantes trailed from the 17th minute after Mbappe's superb goal with a curled right-footed shot from the left side of the box into the opposite corner.
Messi was again the provider for Mbappe's seventh goal -- this time from close range -- which was initially disallowed for offside in the 53rd but given after a VAR check.
Nuno Mendes completed the scoring in the 67th from the rebound after Neymar hit the post.
PSG leads undefeated Marseille in the standings on goal difference.
After missing a penalty midweek, Alexis Sanchez made amends to cap Marseille's 2-0 win at Auxerre with his third goal in five league matches.
Sanchez, who joined Marseille from Inter Milan last month on a free transfer, came off the bench near the hour mark and sealed Marseille's fifth league win in the 83rd minute with a low shot from Matteo Gendouzi's back pass.
Igor Tudor's Marseille have 16 of a possible 18 points. Every time the nine-time champions have managed to remain unbeaten in their six opening matches in the 21st century, they have finished the season in the top three.
Elsewhere, Karl Toko-Ekambi continued his good run of form by scoring twice in Lyon's 5-0 thrashing of struggling Angers.
After being decisive midweek with the winner against Auxerre, Toko Ekambi put the hosts in front against his former team in the 31st minute and scored again near the hour mark.
Alexandre Lacazette, Castello Lukeba and Moussa Dembele were also on the scoresheet for the third-placed hosts.

A brilliant final round front round has provided the catalyst for Peter Senior to go wire-to-wire at the $80,000 PNG Senior Open at Lae Golf Club in Papua New Guinea.
Boasting a two-stroke advantage heading into the third and final round, Senior shut the door on any thought of a Sunday boilover with four birdies on his outward nine to clinch yet another SParms PGA Legends Tour title.
The Aussie icon picked up shots at the third, fourth, fifth and seventh holes to turn in four-under, a bogey on 12 for the second day in a row his only blemish in a round of three-under 68 and eight-under total.
He finished five strokes clear of Chris Taylor and Brad Burns, Taylor’s four-under 67 the best of the final round.
“I hit it well all three rounds, just found it hard to get the ball in the hole with the putter,” Senior said.
“I had a great week and Lae Golf Club have put on a wonderful event”.
At the close of play on Sunday Peter Dalmonte from the PNGGA announced that a further three-year deal would be signed with the PGA to keep the event at Lae through until 2025.

KUWAIT: Consultant of internal medicine, gastroenterology and hepatology Dr Wafaa Al-Hashash said colon and rectal cancer cases have increased in Kuwait in recent years. “Around 3,842 cancer cases were registered in Kuwait in 2020, according to World Health Organization (WHO) figures,” she said, adding 1,719 mortalities and 10,885 cancer cases were recorded in the past five years.
Dr Hashash said on a global scale, WHO statistics show 10 million deaths were attributed to cancer, with a prediction that around 28.4 million more cancer cases will be diagnosed by 2040. She said one out of five persons around the world is expected to get cancer during their lifetime, with one out of eight men and one out of 11 women dying of complications from the disease. “New estimates indicate that more than 50 million persons will survive five years after having a history of suffering from cancer,” she added.
On the most prevalent types of cancer, Dr Hashash said that one out of four women have breast cancer, while colon, womb, lung and thyroid cancers are also common among women. “Breast cancer makes up 21 percent of cases in both genders, followed by colon and rectal cancer, with thyroid cases making up 7 percent,” she explained. Among men in Kuwait, Dr Hashash said 14 percent of colon and rectal cancer cases were recorded, followed by 13 percent of prostate cancer cases and 7 percent lung cancer cases. | https://www.kuwaittimes.com/cancer-cases-on-the-rise-in-kuwait/ | 2022-09-04T00:34:21Z | https://www.kuwaittimes.com/cancer-cases-on-the-rise-in-kuwait/ | false | 1 |
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Lucas Johnson threw four touchdown passes and the Montana defense forced five turnovers as the FCS second-ranked Grizzles coasted to a 47-0 win over Northwestern State on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.
Johnson, a graduate transfer from San Diego State, was 15 of 24 for 208 yards with Mitch Roberts going for 103 yards and two scores on six catches. The Grizzlies, who finished with 464 total yards, had 211 rushing and Marcus Knight and Nick Ostmo had rushing touchdowns.
Montana is 4-0 against the Demons, the three previous games coming in the playoffs, the last in 2004. The Griz have won 19 straight home openers.
Roberts hauled in a 30-yard scoring pass on the opening drive and his 13-yard TD reception made it 14-0 after one quarter.
Tyler Flink returned a punt blocked by Levi Janacaro 32 yards for a touchdown that gave Montana a 26-0 lead in the final minute of the first half.
The Grizzlies held Northwestern State to 219 yards. In addition to recovering three fumbles, the defense picked off Miles Fallin twice. The visitors also had 10 penalties.

Nineteen-sixty, when I was a high school senior with the lofty ambition of being a rock ’n’ roll disc jockey, was a turnaround year for popular music.
The No. 1 record that year was a throwback to the 1950s, “Theme from a Summer Place” by Percy Faith and his orchestra. But change was coming.
Elvis had two of the 10 best-selling records that year. “The Twist” by Chubby Checker was No. 10.
But no one was prepared for the biggest shock of all: in June of that year “National City” reached No. 53 on the Billboard Hot 100.
According to the Liberty label on the “45” that I bought at Stan’s Record Store in downtown Shreveport, “National City” was recorded by the Joiner (Ark.) Junior High School Band.
“National City” was a jaunty, familiar tune played by horns that could be found in a typical junior high school band — trombones, trumpets, a tuba — along with a snare drum and a funky keyboard.
People are also reading…
That the biggest recording artists in America — Elvis and Chubby Checker, for crying out loud — could be challenged by a band of small town 13- and 14-year-olds, thrilled my generation of teenagers to the soles of our black penny loafers.
I believed that story for more than 60 years. Until two weeks ago, when I found myself humming “National City” and decided to do some research on Joiner, Ark. What I found was, well, puzzling.
In 1960 the Joiner ( Ark.) Junior High School didn’t have a band. In fact, in 1960, Joiner, Ark. — population 748 — didn’t have a junior high school.
Obviously, more research was called for.
In 1948 22-year-old Alvin Bennett left his hometown in extreme northeast Arkansas to seek fame and fortune in the music industry in Memphis, which was just across the Mississippi River. After stints at Decca and Dot, he moved to Los Angeles, where he became vice president and then president of Liberty Records, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Bennett dug Liberty out of the financial pits by producing a string of what were called “novelty records.” The first was by an artist who went by David Seville (because his real name was Ross Bagdarsarian). Employing the gimmick of playing tape recordings at a faster speed than they were recorded, which made voices sound like someone had been gassed with helium, Seville gave the world “Witch Doctor,” which is remembered to this day by people of a certain age for the lyrics of the refrain: “Ooo-eee-ooo-ahah-ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang-ooo-eee-ooo-ahah-ting-tang-walla-walla-bang-bang.”
“Witch Doctor” sold more then a million records, became the No. 1 record in the country, and saved Liberty from bankruptcy.
Seville followed with an even bigger hit. It featured three singing chipmunks named Alvin, Simon and Theodore, who were named after Alvin Bennett, Simon Waronker and Theodore Keep, the top executives at Liberty Records.
Enter Ernie Freeman, a well-traveled musician (he played piano on the Platters “Great Pretender”) with a master’s degree in composition.
Freeman may have been inspired by the classic National Emblem March. Or he may recalled an obscene (in some versions) ditty about a monkey wrapping its tail around a flagpole. Whatever his inspiration, Freeman got some of the best session players in Los Angeles together and recorded the song, named it — you guessed it — “National City,” and dubbed the impromptu recording group the Joiner (Ark.) Junior High School Band, after the hometown of Liberty Records president Alvin Bennett.
(Freeman put together another recording group which he called the Joiner, Arkansas State College Exchange Students Marching Band.)
Liberty had another hit, and a legend was born.
Ernie Freeman went on to bigger and better things. He became an arranger for top artists such as Frank Sinatra (“That’s Life,” “Strangers in the Night”), Dean Martin (“Everybody Loves Somebody”), Petula Clark and lots of others. He provided the string arrangement for Simon and Garfunkle’s “Bridge Over Troubled Waters.”
Alvin Bennett made a lot of money flipping record companies, was named Arkansas Man of the Year, became chairperson of the Hollywood Museum, vice president of the American Record Manufacturing and Distribution Association and chairperson of the Entertainment Industry for Radio Free Europe.
He died in 1989 and is buried in Bassett, Ark., where residents of the cemetery outnumber citizens of the town 2,499 to 124. Bassett is up the road a piece from Joiner.
In 2019 the Chipmunks — Alvin, Simon and Theodore — were given a star in Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

FRIDAY’S Spotlight on the Economy 2022 had much good news: a reduced deficit; stable and rising foreign reserves; an increase in the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and a reduction in the debt to GDP ratio.
On the fiscal front, permanent secretary in the Ministry of Finance, Suzette Taylor Lue Chee, said the revised estimate of revenue for 2022 was $51.5 billion, about $8 billion more than the original estimate of $43.3 billion in the 2022 budget presentation. That means revenue for the 2022 fiscal year is now expected to be 19 per cent more than the original estimate.
The permanent secretary said the Ministry of Finance had revised its estimate of expenditure to $55.2 billion. That is up from the original estimate of $52.4 billion, an increase of 5.3 per cent. That means the revised budget deficit for 2022 is expected $3.7 billion, much smaller than the original deficit estimate of $9.09 billion.
“As indicated previously, it is likely that expenditure will be less than our current working estimate, so we expect that the deficit will be lower than $3.7 billion,” said Lue Chee.
Delivering the feature address, Finance Minister, Colm Imbert, said he is confident that the fiscal deficit for 2022 would come in at $2 billion.
He also pointed to a slide demonstrating that T&T is an example of a low-pressure economy, given its finances, at this time.
That slide assessed the impact of the misery index, which adds the unemployment and inflation rates, and factored in the fiscal and current account deficits on 14 countries in the region. Mr Imbert said because of the recovery of the T&T economy, it “is going into a situation of low pressure because of our finances”.
While delivering good news, several speakers intimated that now was not the time to throw caution to the wind., especially with regard to the Government’s spending.
The need for caution was first raised by the deputy Central Bank Governor, Dr Dorian Noel, who said export prices of T&T’s main energy exports are likely “in the near months,” to remain high and gradually adjust downwards, as geopolitical tensions and supply chain effects fade.
But he warned: “With regard to the risk balance, the risks (to the domestic economy), are skewed to the downside, for the time being, hence we have to be adequately prepared for the possibility of much earlier and rapid downward reversal in prices (of energy exports).”
Noel added that in the circumstances of the possibility of a sudden and sharp reversal in energy prices, it is imperative that T&T focus on rebuilding and enhancing its economic buffers—such as the country’s foreign reserves and its Heritage and Stabilisation Fund—which were weakened by the Covid-19 pandemic and the current economic environment.
“In addition, we have to be extremely prudent, and perhaps err on the side of caution, in weighing policy considerations over the short and medium terms. Poor or misaligned policy choices may delay the return to sustainable growth or require corrective adjustments at a later date,” said Noel.
And Imbert, who was upbeat for most of his presentation, concluded it by saying: “We cannot lower our guard. As the deputy Governor of the Central Bank has pointed out, with such an unusual degree of uncertainty in the world economy, and with extreme volatility in commodity prices—...and the prices will come down—we have to emerge from the current crisis stronger...”
In his final words at the Spotlight, Mr Imbert said: “Things are looking better, but we have to be very careful going forward, because we don’t know what the future will bring.”
And Prime Minister Dr Rowley’s final words—the last words of the Spotlight—were: “We are making sacrifices everyday. And what one wants to know is that when you make a sacrifice that you get some benefit from it and not squander it by trying to be either capricious or irresponsible.
“We do have limitations. There is a finite amount of resources available and the Government commits to ensure that whatever fiscal space we have, we will use it to try and grow the economy, while providing comfort and aid to those who are least able to look after themselves.
“To do that we need to rely on our role in the international marketplace, which at this time has some favourable out-turns for us.
“We don’t know how long that will last, but we have to be careful to make the best use of what is coming to us from the international environment...As we try to be upbeat about what is coming to us in the additional revenue, we also have to keep our focus on the source of that, and how tenuous that might be.” | https://trinidadexpress.com/business/local/amid-upbeat-analysis-notes-of-caution/article_a16bdaec-2be3-11ed-80f0-b703de222218.html | 2022-09-04T00:40:52Z | https://trinidadexpress.com/business/local/amid-upbeat-analysis-notes-of-caution/article_a16bdaec-2be3-11ed-80f0-b703de222218.html | true | 1 |

KCET Repeaters Row: Victory for the petitioners as K'taka High Court orders KEA to re-do ranking process
KEA's note issued on July 30, which was challenged by the petitioners, was also quashed. The court directed 50% weightage be given to PUC marks of all students in the KCET merit score
The Karnataka High Court has granted relief to the petitioners appealing against the Karnataka Examinations Authority's decision to not include the Pre-University Colleges (PUC) or Class XII marks from students of the 2021 batch, who repeated the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) this year in the merit score.
The judgement was passed today, September 3, at 2:30 pm, and comes as a relief to over 24,000 students who have been protesting against the KEA's decision to not give 50% weightage to PUC marks for the 2021 batch in this year's KCET score. After the results were announced, students protested at the KEA office, after which a note was issued on July 30, 2022, by the KEA stating, "As per Government Order no ED147TEC2020 dated 01/09/2021, the qualifying marks of 2021 students were not considered for CET ranking for the Academic Year 2021 and is not considered for 2022-23 as well."
The KEA maintained that since the students of PUC 2021 batch had not written the Board exams due to the COVID-19 pandemic, considering their marks would be discriminatory. The petitioners, on the other hand, said that having different parameters in place for calculating the marks of candidates in a common entrance exam was unfair.
This note was challenged by the petitioners who said that the KEA had no authority to issue it and that the note was arbitrary since the Government Order it referred to applied to the year 2021 only. Now, the Karnataka High Court has admitted the student's appeal and has quashed this note.
"The KEA has also been ordered by the Karnataka High Court to re-do the entire ranking process and produce the KCET merit score for all students, granting 50% weightage to KCET score and 50% weightage to the PUC score," said Advocate Rajendra B Kulkarni, who represented one of the petitioners in the case. "Whatever we had sought from the honourable court has been granted," he added. | https://www.edexlive.com/news/2022/sep/03/kcet-repeaters-row-victory-petitioners-ktaka-high-court-orders-kea-re-do-ranking-process-30840.html | 2022-09-04T01:02:06Z | https://www.edexlive.com/news/2022/sep/03/kcet-repeaters-row-victory-petitioners-ktaka-high-court-orders-kea-re-do-ranking-process-30840.html | false | 1 |

She was herself mentored by one such teacher, Janaki, who had shaped her early years at the primary school in Madathil village in Kannur.
“Janaki teacher taught us all subjects as that is the practice in primary schools, but more than that, she was motherly and affectionate. In those days, my parents were very concerned about my health and had told the teacher that I should be given special care. Our school had uppumavu as a noon meal. I liked it very much, but my parents did not allow me to have it. They wanted me to take lunch from home, which was not far from school. But realising my likeness for upma, Janaki teacher kept a small box of uppumavu for me every day.
“She used to call me to the staffroom and give it to me. If my hair was messy, she would comb it. At school, she had been like a mother. Later, I felt that that is how a teacher should be, like a mother in school,’’ says Shailaja, who had remained in touch with her favourite teacher till her death a decade ago.
“Even after I entered politics, Janaki teacher wanted to meet me frequently. I always found time to spend with her,” she says. | https://indianexpress.com/article/express-sunday-eye/teachers-day-special-kk-shailaja-favourite-teacher-8128392/ | 2022-09-04T01:26:47Z | https://indianexpress.com/article/express-sunday-eye/teachers-day-special-kk-shailaja-favourite-teacher-8128392/ | true | 1 |

No. 3 Georgia lost five defensive stars during the first round of April’s NFL Draft, and the Bulldogs had 10 other players from their championship team also get selected. The Bulldogs allowed a modern-record 6.9 points per game during the 2021 regular season, but they will be playing under co-coordinators Glenn Schumann and Will Muschamp following Danny Lanning’s departure. Lanning, who took the Oregon head coaching position, will be hoping to spring a big upset against his former team when the No. 11 Ducks travel to Atlanta for Saturday’s showdown. Georgia is a whopping 16.5-point favorite in the latest Week 1 college football odds at Caesars Sportsbook.

Top college football predictions for Week 1
One of the college picks the model is high on in Week 1: Florida (+2.5) covers at home against No. 7 Utah at 7 p.m. ET. The Utes return 17 starters but they have developed a habit of getting off to slow starts before picking things up later in the season. In each of the last two years, Utah has lost each of its first two games versus FBS teams.
Florida will have the best player at the most important position come Saturday night in quarterback Anthony Richardson. He is a darkhorse Heisman candidate despite starting just one game last year. Richardson is a dual-threat QB who plays in an offense that should accentuate his skills. Utah struggled with these types of players last year, allowing an average of 89.5 rushing yards to quarterbacks Jaren Hall and Lucas Johnson in losses to BYU and San Diego State, respectively.
Richardson is projected to amass nearly 300 passing yards and over 40 rushing yards, while Florida’s running backs top 100 ground yards on their own. That will be just too much for Utah to keep up with as it is rather limited through the air, finishing with the second-fewest passing yards in the Pac-12 last season. The model has Florida winning outright and has the Gators covering in almost 60% of simulations.
Another prediction: Louisville (-5) covers on the road against Syracuse at 8 p.m. ET. The Cardinals have an outstanding offense, led by dual-threat quarterback Malik Cunningham. He is playing behind an offensive line that returns four starters who paved the way in a 41-3 blowout when these teams met last season.
Louisville has been dominant for the past decade in this series, winning and covering the spread in seven of the last eight meetings. Syracuse has not been holding up against conference foes of late, winning just twice in its last 15 ACC contests. The Cardinals have a deep group of running backs as well, so they will be able to control the pace of this game from start to finish. See which other teams the model likes here.

A historian who has examined New Zealand labour movements says the recent wave of union-led industrial action is being driven by the convergence of high inflation, low unemployment, and pandemic-driven stress.
Victoria University's Jim McAloon told Q+A that people were also increasingly conscious of growing inequality after "a long period of relatively low wage increases" and difficult working conditions amid Covid-19.
"The feeling might be, well, if we don't improve things now, when do we improve them?"
Recently, the likes of firefighters, health workers, and Kawerau Mill staff joined thousands across numerous industries taking strike action.
McAloon said it was too early to say if it represented a trend or a wider shift in the balance of power between employers and employees.
"What will be interesting is how things will look in another year."
He said that was because the past 30 years in the trade union movement had been "unusual".
McAloon said 2012 and 2019 saw spikes in union activity. However, he noted unions themselves were weaker than before the introduction of the Employment Contracts Act of the 1990s. That piece of legislation reduced the legal backing for unions to move to more individualised relationships between workers and employers.
After the 1990s, unions had to undergo "cautious rebuilding", he said.
"Certainly, unions are much less part of the fabric of workplace and society… that doesn't mean they're absent." | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/09/04/inflation-low-unemployment-behind-strike-action-wave-historian/ | 2022-09-04T01:39:54Z | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/09/04/inflation-low-unemployment-behind-strike-action-wave-historian/ | true | 1 |

Kourtney Kardashian supports husband Travis Barker in London for Foo Fighters tribute show to Taylor Hawkins
Kourntey Kardashian flew to London to support her husband Travis Barker as he performed as part of the Foo Fighters tribute show to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins
MORE: Gavin Rossdale pays emotional tribute to Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins after his untimely death
Travis took to the stage along with other drummers including Rufus Taylor, Taylor's 16-year-old son Shane, Omar Hakim and 12-year-old Nandi Bushell, and Kourtney was spotted side of stage cheering him on through the emotional day.
WATCH: Stars gone too soon
Kourtney also took to social media to share a picture of the two of them arm in arm walking backstage at London's Wembley Stadium; she was wearing a whiter ripped crop top and black leather jacket paired with a black beret.
Taylor tragically died on 25 March 2022 at the age of 50. He and Travis had been friends for years, and Travis - along with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith - had a hawk tattoo inked on to his body that matched the one on Taylor's left shoulder.

Taking to the band's official Twitter account, the band confirmed the heartbreaking news, writing: "The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins.
"His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever. Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time."
Kourtney joined Travis in London
They were on tour in South America when Taylor died.
Tests reveal that the 50-year-old had 10 different substances in his body, including marijuana, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants and benzodiazepines but no official cause of death has yet been reported.
The band confirmed in June that they would be organizing two tribute concerts, one in London and a second in Los Angeles at the end of September. | https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/20220903150047/kourtney-kardashian-supports-husband-heartbreaking-death/ | 2022-09-04T01:42:56Z | https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/20220903150047/kourtney-kardashian-supports-husband-heartbreaking-death/ | true | 1 |
The researchers suspended microporous nanocrystals in water and other aqueous solutions.

Porous liquids hold promise as bridge therapy, game-changer for artificial blood substitutes, preserving organs for transplant
What if emergency medical personnel could treat a desperately ill patient in need of oxygen with a simple injection instead of having to rely on mechanical ventilation or rush to get them onto a heart-lung bypass machine?
A new approach to transporting gases using a class of materials called porous liquids represents a big step toward artificial oxygen carriers and demonstrates the immense biomedical potential of these unusual fluids.
In a study published last month in Nature, a team of scientists in Harvard’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology detail a new approach to transporting gases in aqueous environments using porous liquids. The authors identified and tailored multiple porous frameworks that can store much higher concentrations of gases, including oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), than normal aqueous solutions. This breakthrough may hold the key to creating injectable sources of oxygen as a bridge therapy for cardiac arrest, creating artificial blood substitutes, and overcoming longstanding challenges in preserving organs for transplants.
“We realized that there would be a lot of benefits to using liquids with permanent microporosity to address gas-transport challenges in water and other aqueous environments,” said Jarad Mason, the paper’s senior author and assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology. “We’ve designed fluids that can transport O2 at densities that exceed that of blood, which opens up exciting new opportunities for transporting gases for a variety of biomedical and energy applications.”
Liquids with permanent microporosity are a new class of materials that are composed of microscopic porous particles dispersed in a liquid medium. Imagine tiny, recyclable, sponge-like bits capable of soaking up gases in their holes and releasing them. Until now, all porous liquids have consisted of microporous nanocrystals or organic cage molecules dispersed in organic solvents or ionic liquids that are too large to diffuse through the pore entrances. The researchers developed a new strategy to create aqueous porous liquids — termed “microporous water” — with high gas capacities based on thermodynamics.
The work was led by members of Mason’s lab, including doctoral students Daniel P. Erdosy, Malia Wenny, Joy Cho, Miranda V. Walter, postdoctoral researcher Christopher DelRe, and undergraduate Ricardo Sanchez. Computational simulations and biological experiments were also performed in collaboration with scientists at Boston Children’s Hospital and Northwestern University, including Felipe Jiminez-Angeles, Baofu Oiao, and Monica Olvera de la Cruz.
Water is a polar molecule, making it a great solvent for other polar molecules such as ethanol and sugar, but it is much worse at dissolving non-polar molecules like O2 gas. As such, pure water can carry 30 times less oxygen than red blood cells. The extremely low solubility of gases in water has imposed a hard limit on many biomedical and energy-related technologies that require the transport of gas molecules through aqueous fluids. This new mechanism for gas transportation overcomes the low solubility of gases in water and enables rapid gas transport.
Inspired by pores in certain proteins that are accessible to water molecules but overall remain dry in aqueous solutions, the team proposed that microporous nanocrystals with hydrophobic internal surfaces and hydrophilic external surfaces could be designed to leave the microporous framework permanently dry in water and available to absorb gas molecules.
“We had to reconcile two seemingly contradictory properties,” Erdosy said. “We designed the internal surface to be hydrophobic and water-repelling, and the external surface to be hydrophilic and water-loving, because otherwise the fluid would phase separate like oil and water.”
The team synthesized the materials in their lab and tested their ability to absorb and release gases. They found that microporous water can reversibly transport extremely high densities of gases through water-based environments. Using this strategy, the team developed a porous liquid that can carry a higher density of O2 than is even present in the pure gas. These aqueous porous liquids display remarkable shelf-stability, allowing them to be stored at room temperature for months before use.
“With some more development, you could imagine storing oxygen in a microporous liquid on an ambulance to have it ready to inject into a person whenever its needed,” Wenny said.
The lab plans to conduct more experiments on microporous water to test its biomedical applications, while continuing to explore other potential uses for the materials.
“We want to develop more materials and animal models to create and test an oxygen carrier in vivo,” Erdosy said. “We also have a more energy-focused project planned on using microporous water to address gas transport challenges in electrocatalysis.”

Talkington throws 5 TDs, E Washington tops Tennessee St
CHENEY, Wash. (AP) Gunner Talkington's fifth touchdown pass, a 13-yarder to Efton Chism III with 2:39 to play, lifted FCS No. 12 Eastern Washington to a 36-29 win over Tennessee State in a lightning-delayed opening game on Saturday.
Talkington, a fifth-year senior in his first start after backing up All-American and Payton Award winner Eric Barriere, was 29 of 46 for 348 yards. He also ran nine times for a team-high 60 yards. Coming into the game he was 32-of-64 passing for 365 yards and five TDs in his career.
Tre Weed intercepted a long pass at the EWU 10 with 44 seconds to play to seal the game.
After an almost hour delay late in the third quarter, the Tigers scored 10-straight points to tie the game at 29. Talkington then took the Eagles on an 11-play, 75-yard drive for the win, throwing for the winner after his five-yard touchdown run was wiped out by a penalty.
Draylen Ellis, who threw for 257 yards and two scores, tied the game with a 4-yard run with 6:32 to play. Devon Starling ran for 207 yards and a score on 25 carries. Zack Dobson had five receptions for 132 yards with a 67-yard score on a shovel pass to open the scoring.
Both teams had 255 yards of offense in the first quarter when Tennessee State took a 19-15 lead. The final tally was 474 for Eastern, which lost a fumble early, and 547 for the Blue Raiders, who had three turnovers and 12 penalties.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Midwest Animal ResQ of Raytown is asking for the public’s help to recover three dogs that were stolen early Saturday morning.
Raytown police report officers were dispatched around 5:35 a.m. to the shelter at 10312 E. 63rd St.
The burglary of the dogs resulted in damage to a door, door jam and fence, which the shelter tells KSHB 41 News will be costly to repair.
More importantly, the shelter says it is worried about the safety of the dogs, all American Bullies.
The two gray dogs recently had surgery and the red dog requires medication for an infection.
Midwest Animal ResQ says the shelter’s security cameras captured the incident, telling KSHB 41 the theft was quick and may have lasted around two minutes with police arriving around 10 minutes after the crime occurred.
Further, the shelter said there is reason to believe a white Hummer was involved.
All three dogs came to the shelter on Aug. 25. Since then, the shelter says one person tried to reclaim them but did not want to pay the associated animal control fees.
At this time, no persons are in custody.
Anyone with information is asked to call the shelter at 816-919-1364, TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477 and/or Raytown police at 816-737-6020.

PRIVOLNOYE, Russia (AP) — As Moscow paid last respects to Mikhail Gorbachev on Saturday, residents of the far-away village where he spent his youth lauded him too.
The Soviet Union’s reformist last leader, who died Tuesday at age 91, grew up in Privolnoye, a village of about 3,000 in southern Russia’s Stavropol region, the son of peasants. He retained the region’s distinct accent until his last days and held onto a village-bred boy’s common touch.
Although he went away to Moscow, about 1,100 kilometers (700 miles) to the north for university, he returned to the region and began rising through the ranks of the communist system, eventually becoming Stavropol’s top official as chairman of the regional Communist Party committee.
“He helped the village a lot when asked,” Sergei Bukhtoyarov, current head of Privolnoye and its environs, told The Associated Press.
“An ordinary person, he was kind, good-natured, benevolent. We met when he arrived here, here on the square and there were a lot of people. He always passed by, greeted everyone, talked to everyone. He was such a kind and sociable person,” Bukhtoyarov said.
A classmate from long ago said she saw promise in him even as a youngster.
“A jaunty, smart, well-read guy, active — took an active part in our school. He also took part in artistic performances, he was also the secretary of the Komsomol organization” for communist youth, said Maria Ignatova.

PRIVOLNOYE, Russia (AP) — As Moscow paid last respects to Mikhail Gorbachev on Saturday, residents of the far-away village where he spent his youth lauded him too.
The Soviet Union’s reformist last leader, who died Tuesday at age 91, grew up in Privolnoye, a village of about 3,000 in southern Russia’s Stavropol region, the son of peasants. He retained the region’s distinct accent until his last days and held onto a village-bred boy’s common touch.
Although he went away to Moscow, about 1,100 kilometers (700 miles) to the north for university, he returned to the region and began rising through the ranks of the communist system, eventually becoming Stavropol’s top official as chairman of the regional Communist Party committee.
“He helped the village a lot when asked,” Sergei Bukhtoyarov, current head of Privolnoye and its environs, told The Associated Press.
“An ordinary person, he was kind, good-natured, benevolent. We met when he arrived here, here on the square and there were a lot of people. He always passed by, greeted everyone, talked to everyone. He was such a kind and sociable person,” Bukhtoyarov said.
A classmate from long ago said she saw promise in him even as a youngster.
“A jaunty, smart, well-read guy, active — took an active part in our school. He also took part in artistic performances, he was also the secretary of the Komsomol organization” for communist youth, said Maria Ignatova.

North Texas Performing Arts Repertory to Open Season with Tony Award-Winning Musical RENT
North Texas Performing Arts Repertory Theater will open their 2022-2023 season with the Broadway smash-hit, Winner of 4 Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and pop-culture phenomenon Rent, Performing Sept. 9-18 at the Rodenbaugh Theater at Willow Bend Center of the Arts.
Based on the opera La Bohème, Rent tells a story of friends who have become each other’s chosen family, living in the East Village of New York as struggling artists. The music, lyrics and book were written by Jonathan Larson, although he never saw his work make it to Broadway, as he died the night before it opened. He did win three posthumous Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Rent. His work lives on through songs like “Seasons of Love” and “I’ll Cover You,” which tell a story of hope, strength, and resilience throughout Rent.
NTPA Repertory Theatre’s creative team for Rent offers two Powerhouse co-directors, each with a different perspective. NTPA Repertory Theater Artistic Director and Co-Director of Rent, Daniel Dean Miranda says, “Rent was the first diverse show I ever listened to growing up. It felt like the perfect opportunity to showcase diverse talent in Plano, and so I wanted to partner with a female director.”
This groundbreaking hit from the 1996 Broadway season continues to resonate with audiences over 25 years later. Rent takes on topics like economic inequality, LGBTQ+, the AIDS epidemic, and drug addiction – all of which are still relevant today. “This show is so important to the LGBTQ+ community,” says Rent Co-Director Rachael Berros, “I am excited to have an opportunity to dive into the material and find new and Deeper meaning between the pages.”
NTPA Repertory Theater delivers professional-quality theatrical entertainment that inspires audiences and empowers artists from Broadway to the ‘Burbs. NTPA enjoys a Legacy that began in Plano in 1991. NTPA Repertory Theater has found a home within the City of Plano, and has been welcomed with support and enthusiasm. The goal in bringing Repertory Theater to Plano is to develop a sustainable program that engages the local community and delivers consistent, high-quality programming.
Rent performs September 9-18 in the Rodenbaugh Theater at Willow Bend Center of the Arts, 6121 W. Park Blvd. B216, Plano, TX 75093. Matinees are at 2:30 pm and evening performances are at 8 pm. Tickets start at $20 with premium seating available at $30. Discounts available for groups of 15 or more. The Matinee performance on Sept. 10 will include ASL interpretation. Due to the mature content of Rent, Suggested audience age is 16+.

PASADENA – What’d you miss?
Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s four touchdowns.
An impressive defensive debut.
A double-digit comeback.
But, really, not much.
Well before kickoff Saturday, when the temperature was already creeping up toward 100 degrees in tailgating tents outside the Rose Bowl, Teresa Hannie knew better than to expect a big crowd to join her and husband, Andre, to see their UCLA Bruins eventually overwhelm Bowling Green 45-17 in both teams’ season opener.
“The UCLA fan base is very fickle,” she said. “It’s hot today, they’re not here. The loyal diehards are here, the other ones are, ‘Oh, it’s too hot, it’s just Bowling Green …’ ”
In all, UCLA announced the smallest home crowd in its history at the Rose Bowl, just 27,143 brave souls on the premises, fewer even than the 32,982 who showed up for last season’s opener against Hawaii, a tally that just eclipsed the 32,513 that showed up to watch UCLA take on Oregon State in 1992.
Maybe you’ve dreamed of seeing yourself on the Jumbotron? This was the game for you; there were only so many options to put on the big screen. Or fantasized about attending an event in Southern California without having to fight traffic? You would’ve zipped in and out the parking lot Saturday.
Of course, the temperature – 100 degrees at kickoff and 103 by game’s end – was an active deterrent.
And the Falcons – who went 4-8 last season, including 2-6 in the Mid-American Conference – aren’t the sort of draw that might make reasonable people decide to brave the elements.
This wasn’t compelling competition. It was a scrimmage. And it was the first of three planned at the Rose Bowl this month, with UCLA’s games against Alabama State and South Alabama to follow – an unfrightening schedule to which Michigan’s decision to back out of a home-and-home arrangement contributed some.
So when UCLA fell behind 17-7 on Saturday – its fans in the stadium red-faced not only because of the heat but also because of the ignominy – the football team had faith it could clean it up.
In just the first quarter alone, Thompson-Robinson threw an interception, Nicholas Barr-Mira’s punt was blocked and returned for a touchdown. The Bruins also were called for delay of game and Jake Bobo muffed a punt and, on another occasion, didn’t switch out of his No. 9 jersey into 87 to avoid duplicate numbers on the field.
But that’s why they play preseason games, right? To scratch off the rust?
“We made some mistakes and that’s what you have to do,” Kelly said after watching his side score the final 38 points Saturday. “We don’t have preseason games. When you’re in a practice situation and someone makes a mistake, you do it over. You don’t get do-overs here. We did dig ourselves a little bit of a hole to start, but I was really proud of the way our guys responded.”
Thompson-Robinson noted that the Bruins’ guests were kind enough bring a few brain teasers with them from Ohio.
“We had been working on different protections and slotting guys different ways and seeing who they were gonna come off at different points,” Thompson-Robinson said. “And they ended up changing the whole thing come the first quarter. So definitely having to evade some free rushers throw hot a few times, just get the ball out of my hand but again just trying to stay on schedule, give coach Kelly an opportunity to call as many plays as he can on as many different downs. That was the biggest thing.”
Eventually, as expected, the Bruins overwhelmed their opponent with their talent, their depth and with their scientific acumen.
The heat left the Bruins without much on-site fan support. But it probably also benefitted UCLA that it wasn’t a pleasant 78-degree day in Pasadena, that the heat cramped the Falcons’ style so severely, leaving players in orange writhing on the hot grass turf darn near every other play in the second half.
The Bruins beat Bowling Green as much with their hydration plan as their game plan, a well-thought out strategy that included to-the-milliliter week-long hydration monitoring, careful electrolyte replacement and portable shade structures that the Falcons didn’t have on the east sideline.
And, in the end, they gave their most devoted, least fair-weather fans reason to muster up the energy to cheer.
And UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond reason to tweet out his thanks, posting a video of himself leaving the field: “That’s a wrap; Bruins win 45-17. To all the fans who came out today, thank you. It was a hot one out here, appreciate you coming.”
He also extended an invitation: “We’ll see you next Saturday.”
The forecast that days calls for a cloudy 91 degrees, with UCLA’s first FCS opponent in more than a century, in a game that ESPN’s Football Power Index gives the Bruins a 99.7% chance of winning.
Thank you to all who came out today. Know it wasn’t easy with the heat. Appreciate the support!! #GoBruins pic.twitter.com/5LYQDvauZ0

Manager Buck Showalter said after Saturday's game that the team is hopeful Scherzer (side) will make his next start as scheduled, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Scherzer was lifted after only 67 pitches Saturday with what was described as a "fatigued" feeling in his left side. However, the skipper said Scherzer "probably could have continued to pitch but just didn't feel it was a good idea," per Tim Britton of The Athletic. While it sounds like Scherzer could make his date with the Marlins next week, we may not know his status for certain until after his next bullpen session. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/mets-max-scherzer-manager-downplays-injury/ | 2022-09-04T02:53:29Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/mets-max-scherzer-manager-downplays-injury/ | true | null |

Qld holiday destinations near capacity amid series of major events
By Cloe Read
Queenslanders have been urged to get in quick to book their holidays as the state’s accommodation providers near capacity.
With a series of major events attracting travellers to the state this month, Queensland’s economy is expected to see a $63 million windfall, authorities say.
Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said Saturday’s Riverfire brought about $36 million to Brisbane’s economy, boosting hospitality, accommodation and the arts sectors, but Queensland would also likely benefit from future business events coming to the state.
The Matildas match against Canada at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday also drew thousands of people to the city – 10,000 more than the last time the team played at Suncorp, Hinchliffe said.
Riverfire kicked off the Brisbane Festival, which is expected to attract about 80,000 people to the city.
Hinchliffe said this month’s school holidays would also boost the economy.
“We’re seeing some great numbers for our accommodation providers across the state,” he said.
“We’re seeing over 80 per cent of accommodation booked in the Whitsundays, and in far north Queensland, Cairns and places like the Sunshine Coast, we’re seeing 75 per cent.
“Get your bookings in because it’s starting to narrow – people are taking those opportunities pretty quickly.”
Hinchliffe said arrival numbers across Queensland airports had been “very strong”, with Brisbane Airport reporting close to pre-pandemic levels.

Prodrive’s origins started in motorsport, founded in 1983 by David Richards, who at the time was an accomplished rally co-driver having won the 1981 World Rally Championship sat alongside Ari Vatanen. The knowledge and expertise David gained during those formative years meant that when Prodrive set up as a motorsport team, they hit the ground running. There’s been no slowing down in the 38 years since.
I’d been itching to have a look around Prodrive’s expansive facility in Banbury, Oxfordshire for a Speedhunters feature, so when an opportunity to do just that came up, I wasn’t going to let it pass me by.
Walking through the main entrance, a bold statement confronts you. Three Prodrive products, rotated on a semi-regular basis: Metro 6R4, WRC MINI Clubman and the Safari-spec S6 Impreza. Each of these cars has its place in the history of the company’s motorsport endeavours, and it gives you a preview of what to expect.
Also on display was an engine usually found deep inside of the BTCC Mondeo I spotlighted a few months back.
Through another set of double doors, you are met with instantly-recognisable automobiles; cars that have adorned the pages of motorsport magazines and television screens for generations.
While it predates Prodrive by quite a few years, the Mk2 Ford Escort holds a special place for David. This is the very car he was co-driver in all those years ago. After much convincing, the most recent owner eventually agreed to sell the Escort to David, and it’s since had a complete restoration, right down to the hand-painted livery.
Prodrive’s relationship with Subaru is how most of us came to know the company, but this did not take place till much later. It started with Prodrive entering the Porsche 911 SC RS into the Qatar International Rally in 1984, which it won on its inaugural outing.
The 911 SC RS was pushed through to compete in Group B when delays in 959 homologation meant that car wouldn’t be ready in time, but it wasn’t smooth sailing with the 911. Prior to Prodrive’s involvement, the 911 proved troublesome and unreliable over the rough terrain. A host of mechanical and structural improvements were applied and the team won five out of the 13 rallies the car competed in between 1984 and 1987.
Following on from their successes with the Porsche, Prodrive then set about developing the BMW E30 M3 into a competitive package for rally and circuit racing. Prodrive-built cars took multiple event and championship victories in both codes. In the past, Prodrive has built and campaigned touring cars for BMW, Alfa Romeo, Honda and Ford.
From that point on, the link to Subaru was formed, first with the Legacy and then the various iterations of the GC8-chassis Impreza. The working relationship between Ari Vatanen and David Richards was rekindled with the Group A Legacy, however this time as driver and team principal. This particular car sadly never saw much success in competition, finishing 4th at the 1000 Lakes Rally in Finland.
It was a different story for the Impreza, of which a very special example sits in the collection. This car brought Colin McRae and Subaru their first WRC drivers and constructors titles respectively in the 1995 World Rally Championship and truly cemented the longstanding partnership between the manufacturer and motorsports specialist.
Over the subsequent years two more drivers championship trophies and numerous podiums found home within the halls of the Banbury HQ, but ultimately the recession and downturn in the economy in 2009 sadly resulted in Subaru and Prodrive withdrawing from the WRC.
In 2001, Prodrive entered into GT endurance racing with the Ferrari 550 Maranello, built for the then new GT1 class regulations. They ran for four years and won the GT class at the 2003 24 Hours of Le Mans and took overall honours at the Spa 24 Hours in 2004.
Following on from that success, Prodrive has campaigned Aston Martins in various GT classes since 2007, starting with the DBR9 and then in the later years moving onto the Vantage platform. Having run the Aston Martin Works GTE entries, Prodrive also designs, builds and operates GT3 and GT4 variants for privateer entries across numerous global championships.
For those unaware, GTE cars competed in what was once the GT2 class, and are designed as manufacturer entries. To the untrained eye, customer-based GT3s and GT4s may look similar to GTEs, however they are more closely related to their production-based origins in both specification and price. GTE car prices run in the region of £1 million, whereas a GT3 car is closer to £350,000.
This substantial difference in cost alludes to the extent GTE cars are modified; carbon fibre body panels and a more aggressive aerodynamics package are only some of the alterations. Despite running similar power levels, these differences mean GTE cars are significantly faster.
Prodrive currently builds a GT3/4 Vantage at a rate of one a week, with over 200 cars sold to date. These along with shells for other projects make their way through the fabrication shop to receive a full weld-in roll cage, with all sub assemblies and other components built by one of the skilled team next door.
A Hunter T1+ space-frame and Aston Martin sat on the in-floor jigs, along with a slew of GT4 roll cages ready to be fitted.
A Ford Falcon may seem a bit out of place, not being something seen on British circuits. Its presence is for good reason – Prodrive ran the Ford Performance V8 Supercar program in Australia for 10 seasons.
For two years Prodrive managed the BAR Honda F1 Team (2002-2004), but unfortunately this relationship had a few challenges and was ended before the team found their stride.
The Dakar program has been a key focus for the company for a few years now, debuting the Prodrive Hunter in 2021. The Hunter also competes in the T1+ category of the FIA World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC). More will follow as I dedicate a feature to Prodrive’s newly released road-legal equivalent.
Advanced Technologies is the department that, truth be told, I never realised existed before I visited Prodrive. A huge portion of Prodrive’s business is the design, prototyping and production of subsystems, components, composites and vehicle development for other manufacturers. The collective knowledge within the company means that they have made everything from the hydraulic rear wing assembly of the McLaren P1, to the motorised champagne and flute chiller for the interior of Range Rovers and, most notably, ventilators for hospitals during the early days of the Covid pandemic.
Multiple CNC machines allow for many simultaneous workloads, turning large chunks of billet into useable components in a fraction of the time it would take compared to outsourced manufacturing.
London natives may recognise these Ford Transits, which are now electric-based but feature a single cylinder combustion engine acting as a range extender. Ford challenged Prodrive to redesign the existing platform to fit the electric motors and a combustion EcoBoost engine into the Transit and produce 28 prototypes, all without impacting the cab or load space. This was all achieved in just 18 months.
As is often the way with companies dealing in current and future technology, there was much that I saw that I wasn’t allowed to photograph or talk about at Prodrive, and it was very subtly inferred that there was way more than I wasn’t even allowed to see. The non-disclosure agreement you sign at the first point of entry made sure of that.
The P25 project that’s caused a bit of a stir online is one of these, but between my visit and this feature going live, it was unveiled at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
There are more ventures – both motorsport and otherwise – which have had Prodrive involvement than I have space to mention here. Each car and trophy on display has its part in time-stamping an era in the company and serves as a reminder of what can be accomplished given the opportunity.
Some of these serve as reminders of what could have been.
After my visit, I had one takeaway: Prodrive as a company are incredibly talented and versatile, but they don’t shout about it. You don’t see them advertising in the automotive press or online. The saying ‘speak softly and carry a big stick’ comes to mind.
Since the company’s inception, Prodrive have accrued the collective knowledge, capability and most importantly passion to succeed in whatever remit required. If you have an idea (and the pre-requisite budget), you would be well served having this team in your corner.

…cautions lawyers against divisive utterances
Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has expressed dismay over the statement purportedly made by Chief Niyi Akintola, SAN, against the immediate past President of the Nigerian Bar Association, (NBA), Olumide Akpata. Akintola had described Akpata as a boy after he revealed that some lawyers made a pact to work against him during a radio programme in Oyo State.
Akpata cannot, under any circumstances, be referred to as a boy, according to Akeredolu, a former president of the NBA and a life bencher, in a statement personally signed by him and made available to newsmen through his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, in Akure.
The governor admonished lawyers against making statements that could divide the association and urged all lawyers in the country to remain as one and focused. Akeredolu in the statement said that, “I have read several comments arising from the statement credited to my friend, brother and colleague, Chief Niyi Akintola, SAN.
I am acutely aware of the passion with which he pursues his conviction on any matter. “I am sure that he will, at a reflective moment, agree with all colleagues and reasonable people that our immediate past president, though junior in age and length of membership of our great association, cannot be referred to as a boy biologically or otherwise.
“As the President of our Association, he was the number one lawyer in the country without regard to the camp to which he belonged during the Bar elections, his religion, ethnicity and political affiliation. “There are set rules for the executive leadership of the association.
No elected member of the committee can act outside the scope permitted and envisioned. “There are also established guidelines for redress in case of perceived infractions or infringement on the rights of persons or groups.
The President of the Bar is primus inter pares.” Akeredolu also condemned the growing tendencies which predispose members of NBA to act in manner considered very strange to the established tradition anchored on diffidence, respect and dignity.
“I must also not fail, however, to condemn, in very strong terms, the growing tendencies which predispose members of our great association to act in manner considered very strange to the established tradition anchored on diffidence, respect and dignity.” He commended the immediate administration led by Olumide Akpata for a successful annual conference and reawakening in the Bar.
“A special mention must be made of the former President, Olumide Akpata, Esq, for providing courageous leadership at crucial moments. Posterity will remember the members of the Executive Committee, under his exemplary leadership, for good. “The administration left an indelible mark which will be difficult to erase. The tenure was hugely successful.” | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/nba-crisis-you-cant-call-akpata-a-boy-akeredolu-tells-akintola/ | 2022-09-04T03:47:07Z | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/nba-crisis-you-cant-call-akpata-a-boy-akeredolu-tells-akintola/ | true | 3 |

spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said names of suspects that
have been arrested for masquerading as representatives of the First Family will
be released soon.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police has received numerous reports
of criminal acts being committed by suspects who are openly abusing His
Excellency, President E.D. Mnangagwa, and the First Family’s names in
extortion, fraud, theft and other related criminal acts,” he said.
“The suspects are duping members of the public who include
individuals, businesspeople and companies on the pretext that they would have
been tasked by the First Family or His Excellency, President Mnangagwa to
fundraise or collect money for various activities.”
Asst Comm Nyathi said businesspeople and individuals were
being fleeced of their properties, assets and cash by criminals that purport to
be representing the Head of State.
“The ZRP strongly warns these individuals or groups that
the law will take its course without fear or favour.
“Arrests are being effected and these include some land
barons in Harare, Banket and other towns who are openly abusing His Excellency

Steelers' TJ Watt practices, says knee is OK after cut block
PITTSBURGH — (AP) — T.J. Watt isn't a fan of cut blocks, however the Pittsburgh Steelers star linebacker isn't ready to weigh in on whether they should be legal or not, even after a scare in last Sunday's preseason finale against Detroit.
The NFL's reigning Defensive Player of the Year narrowly avoided serious injury to his left knee when Lions tight end TJ Hockenson went low — legally — early in Pittsburgh's 19-9 victory. Hockenson came across the field and dove into Watt's legs on a running play. The contact created what Watt described as “discomfort” in his knee, and he was taken out of the game shortly thereafter as a precaution.
Watt, who practiced on Wednesday and should be fine for Pittsburgh's season opener in Cincinnati on Sept. 11, said Hockenson apologized immediately after the play.
“(He said) like, ‘Sorry I had to do that,’ something like that,” Watt said. “And I just didn’t really have any words to say back to him. More frustration than anything.”
Watt called the blocks "tough to deal with" but declined to pick a side when asked if they should be allowed. The blocks have become a hot topic of sorts after the New York Giants lost rookie defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux for a month after he was injured on a similar play against Cincinnati earlier in the preseason. Watt said he was aware of Thibodeaux's injury, but hadn't watched a replay.
“I don’t really want to get in the weeds and either what should or shouldn’t be legal in football,” said Watt, who tied an NFL record by getting 22 1/2 sacks last season. “But like I said, I’d have to find a way to be better in that situation to protect myself.”
Watt knew the block was coming. He and Hockenson maintained eye contact as Hockenson closed in. When Hockenson went low, Watt essentially had nowhere to go.
“It obviously is being taught because it’s a legal move,” Watt said. “So I don’t really have any grudge against it. I just have to figure out how to handle it.”
Watt said he didn't consider simply stepping out of the way in order to protect himself even if the play happened in essentially a meaningless game for a player whose roster spot has never been in doubt since being drafted in the first round in 2017.
“I’ll never shortchange the game, whether it’s a preseason or a regular-season game, and that’s why when the switch is flipped on, I don't really care if it's the preseason or not, you're just playing football.”
NOTES: LB Malik Reed and OL Jesse Davis were on the practice field on Wednesday less than 24 hours after being acquired in trades. Reed will play a reserve role on the outside behind Watt and Alex Highsmith while Davis provides depth and versatility for a line that struggled at times during training camp.

Sometimes we learn from another person’s words. Even more likely, we learn from their actions.
Ron Hill was one of those people who could teach or mentor you in both ways, but I will always remember how he handled one of life’s most challenging situations.
I first got to know Ron through Rotary, a civic organization he was very committed to, working with members on various club projects.
But we also shared a love of music, especially contemporary worship music, so we connected on that level as well.
It was early in our friendship when Ron and his wife, Cynthia, lost their youngest daughter, Megan. I remember going to the funeral home to pay my respects.
Losing a loved one at any age is difficult and heart-wrenching. Even more so when the loss is a young child.
Ron had his guitar at the funeral home and sat and played as he dealt with his grief and helped others deal with theirs as well. There was something peaceful and calming about his way that day that has remained with me.
I thought of that the other day when I heard Ron had passed at the age of 68.
I also thought of the many lunches that he, Lenny Hannigan and I had enjoyed back when we all had a little more time to break away from our busy lives.
We would sit and talk about life, about leadership, about music. Those lunches were nutritious and fulfilling in more ways than the meal, as we shared ways of dealing with life, with people.
Ron was a leader, a tremendous teacher, counselor and life coach. He worked with businesses. He worked with individuals. He worked with couples and families.
His goal was to help people see their way through difficult times, to handle the challenges of life and reach their full potential.
I last worked with Ron a few years back with McDonald’s franchisee owner John Ebert’s “Grit” program, which sought to help middle school students see their potential.
In a feature story that Staff Writer Jonathan Weaver wrote back in 2019, Ron explained the program’s goals, which mirrored his own:
“Grit is all about seeing through, even despite the difficulties,” Hill said. “The most successful people in life are the ones who can work their way through anything and still keep their focus to be able to succeed through expectations.
“Life isn’t always going to be easy, but how you perform in those times of crisis or distraction will show what you’ll be able to do in life.”
Ron knew about battling back. A car crash early in life challenged him.
“You don’t just quit when things get tough,” Hill told us for another story. “You change what you’re doing. When life pushes, you push back.”
Ron spent his life pushing back against life’s challenges. More importantly, he taught many how they, too, could push through those challenging times.
Ron Hill was a man of great faith with a love of family, of community, of life. He walked that walk throughout his life, allowing his words and actions to show others a successful pathway through life.
I’m better for knowing him. And I know many others feel the same way.
Rest easy, good and faithful servant. You fought the good fight.

Behind Fascist 'Warrior' Facade, Patriot Front Is Just Another Grift
One of the constants of the world of right-wing extremists is that their leaders all find ways to turn their authoritarian activism into a moneymaking operation that wrings funds out of their gullible followers. Even if these leaders buy their own bullshit—and most of them do—they also are assiduous in creating revenue streams generated from the eager suckers who lap it up.
Take Patriot Front, the neofascist marching gang that recently drew national headlines for being busted outside a Pride event in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, for example. A recent examination of the organization’s operations by Mackenzie Ryan of The Guardian found that Patriot Front’s ability to spread its brand of hate politics by operating as a “white nationalist pyramid scheme” that recruits angry young men with a vision of creating a “warrior elite,” the reality of which is remarkably buffoonish.
“No other white supremacist group operating in the US today is able to match Patriot Front’s ability to produce media, ability to mobilize across the country, and ability to finance,” Anti-Defamation League researcher Morgan Moon told Ryan. “That’s what makes them a particular concern.”
The man atop Patriot Front’s pyramid is Thomas Rousseau, the 24-year-old Texas man who founded Patriot Front in 2017 out of the ashes of the neo-Nazi group Vanguard America, under whose banner he had marched in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017, alongside James Alex Fields, the man who later that day drove a car into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.
Fitting his politics, Rousseau runs Patriot Front in remarkably authoritarian fashion: ordering his followers to follow exercise regimens and to participate both in online ideological discussion and real-world “actions” that both spread the group’s propaganda and line Rousseau’s pockets.
Most of its recruitment begins online, in gaming chat rooms, message boards, or social media channels where they seek out young white males seething with various resentments. Part of its marketing, as Stephen Piggot of the Western States Center told Ryan, involves creating video packages aimed at younger audiences. Simultaneously, he says, much of their appeal involves the group’s emphasis on translating the ideology into real-world action.
Recruits are particularly drawn in by Patriot Front’s emphasis on creating “young warriors” and a “warrior elite,” Moon said. This includes an emphasis on fitness and diet, and is manifested in the real-world paramilitary training sessions it organizes.
Once recruits sign on, they’re quickly drawn up in Patriot Front’s authoritarian operations. They’re required to attend monthly online meetups and street demonstrations, and to meet a weekly activism quota that the group’s top lieutenants, called network directors, monitor with spreadsheets. Should a recruit fail to meet those requirements, Rousseau expels them, Moon said.
A data leak of Patriot Front chat rooms published earlier this year by the journalism collective Unicorn Riot revealed these operations in detail. Rousseau and his network directors oversaw the chats, organized by region. They organized real-world “actions” in the chatrooms, such as pasting propaganda stickers and fliers around the downtown areas of cities where they lived, as well as hoisting banners with their slogans and logo over freeways on overpasses.
The “actions” included a number of criminal acts of vandalism, such as defacing memorials, statues, and murals in highly public places. These included a memorial to George Floyd in New York City, as well as other works of public art that provoked their ire, such as a mural supporting Black Lives Matter in Olympia, Washington, and depictions of Black heroes such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Harriet Tubman.
They also clearly believed they could do so with impunity. “As our recent actions have shown we can walk down busy avenues at prime time in Seattle and deface the largest most well protected mural in shitlib Olympia without so much as being accosted once,” one member who apparently participated in the Olympia vandalization wrote.
A more recent Unicorn Riot report exposed how members of Patriot Front participated in a likely hate crime by vandalizing an LGBTQ youth center in Springfield, Illinois, in November 2021. Video recordings made by the group’s members showed them stenciling their logo over a rainbow mural on one side of the Phoenix center, a nonprofit that provides housing and support to at-risk LGBTQ youth.
The video shows them applying the stencil, fleeing the scene, and then discussing how they targeted the building because “it’s a gay and trans youth center.” They also reveled in the distress they expected to create: “Those f*gs are gonna lose their mind,” boasted one of the vandals.
In all, Patriot Front records showed the group responsible for at least 29 acts of destruction of public art honoring Black, Mexican, Asian, and LGBTQ people. According to the ADL, Patriot Front has been responsible for up to 14 hate incidents a day.
Rousseau and his lieutenants set quotas for members to engage in various “actions,” including regional group quotas of at least “10 big actions a month.” Acts of vandalism are recorded in a spreadsheet.
The group also monitors its roughly 220 members’ personal lives and is fanatically controlling. Members are required to regularly log their weight and fitness regimen, follow an apparently disordered diet obsessively, and update their superiors on their “bad habits,” such as pornography and junk food. Leaders pointedly chastise members for failing to participate in enough chats or meetings or to file their mandatory fitness updates.
On top of all these demands, Rousseau charges his followers a premium for the same Patriot Front propaganda material that he then requires them to spread, according to Southern Poverty Law Center researcher Jeff Tischauser. Network directors are required to push members to buy new flyers and then spread them monthly.
“In this sense, Patriot Front is close to a white nationalist pyramid scheme,” Tischauser observed.
The scheme has created some internal turmoil. Researchers say Patriot Front chats they have obtained include complaints from members about the constant expense of buying new stickers, stencils, and other propaganda materials that Rousseau both requires they buy while charging them a premium.
There have been other cracks in Rousseau’s façade, notably the June arrests of 31 Patriot Front marchers in Coeur d’Alene—all of whose identities were publicly exposed—while attempting to create a riot at the city’s annual Pride in the Park event. The court cases arising from those arrests got under way this month, with Rousseau among the defendants.
“They got kind of the opposite of what they wanted: they weren’t able to disrupt the LGBTQ Pride events, and they got a whole lot of mainstream media attention,” Piggot said.

HAPPY TEACHER’S DAY 2022: World Teachers’ Day, celebrated by UNESCO, falls on October 5, but in India, the celebration occurs on September 5 instead. It is a great occasion for the Indians to remember and honour the teachers who have taught us valuable life lessons and helped us in our paths to become knowledgeable and wise. Below we will look at the reason why Teachers’ Day is celebrated on September 5, the history behind it and the event’s significance.
Teacher’s Day 2022: Date
Teachers’ Day is celebrated on September 5 in India since it is the date on which Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the second president of India was born, in 1888. The Bharat Ratna recipient was a teacher, a politician and also the first Vice president of India. The reason why September 5, his birthday began to be celebrated as Teachers’ Day in India, is an interesting one.
Teacher’s Day: History
Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was a professor and a scholar whose work revolved around comparative religion and philosophy. He used to teach Philosophy at the Madras Presidency College, University of Mysore, University of Calcutta, the University of Chicago and also the University of Oxford.
Radhakrishnan was appointed as the second President of India in 1962 and assumed office from May 13 that year. To celebrate this momentous occasion, his students and friends decided to celebrate his birthday and sought his permission regarding the same. Radhakrishnan told them, “Instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers’ Day," as noted in the Festivals of India webpage for Radhakrishnan.
Dr Radhakrishnan secured a Master’s degree in Philosophy and followed Advaita Vedanta, a spiritual discipline about cosmic non-duality/monism. He also identified with the philosophies of another great educator of India, Rabindranath Tagore, who created the school Shantiniketan.
Teacher’s Day: Significance
Teachers, like Radhakrishnan, are builders of the nation’s future as they ensure their students are armed with proper knowledge and wisdom to lead their lives responsibly. Teachers’ Day helps highlight their role, their plight and their rights in our society.

There are a number of essential tyre safety checks motorists should make to ensure their cars are roadworthy, including inflation, tyre tread and always having the right tyres for your vehicle. Tyre tread, though arguably one of the most important checks to make, can see drivers unexpectedly losing their licence if they aren’t on top of things.
Daniel ShenSmith, a barrister who shares legal advice and explainers on his YouTube channel BlackBeltBarrister, explained: “Very often the tyre tread, which everybody knows about, what [drivers] won’t realise is that you could, in theory, lose your licence on four tyres that don’t meet the threshold, because you can you can get three points per tire.”
Although some people may think three points are for the offence overall, Daniel revealed this is “discretionary”.
He continued: “It’s three points per tire. So, simple math will tell you you can reach 12 points on four bad tires which can result in a totting-up ban.
12 points is an obligatory ban of a minimum of six months unless they can show exceptional hardship. I have seen that before in an officer’s report.

“For people that argue about it, it does happen. It can happen, it has happened.
“[Having] the right tyres is a big one because people just forget.”
The RAC explains the legal tyre tread depth for cars in the UK and Europe is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, according to law.
The tread must meet this minimum requirement across its complete circumference.
Even letting one tyre wear down below the requirement is “a slippery slope”, according to Daniel.
He said: “If you’re not on top of any one of them, chances are you’re not on top of three or four.
“And then by the time you add up three or four, even if they are lenient and say: ‘I’ll give you three points for this, three points for that’.
“If you’ve already got six points on your licence, and you get three points for one tyre that doesn’t quite meet the threshold, and you’ve got low washer fluid, then that’s six points.
“And if you’ve already got six that makes 12. You’ll be banned from driving if you go to court, unless you can show exceptional hardship.”

Can we talk about tattoos?
Four days after his wife, Jennifer Flavin, filed for a divorce, Sylvester Stallone covered a tattoo of Flavin on his right bicep with an image of Butkus, his dog that appeared in the movie “Rocky.” Ouch! Stallone’s insensitive do-over may have raised eyebrows, but the original tattoo itself caused nary a stir.
Once taboo, tattoos are all the rage. In a stunning turnaround, it’s speaking critically about tattoos that is now taboo! So, going where angels fear to tread, I’ll just say it flat out: On a cultural scale, there’s something spiritually amiss about tattoos; and, in many troubled individuals, something terribly sad.
If not careful, one could be tempted to cite Leviticus 19:28: “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.” See, there it is in inspired black and white! Yet, both context and translation issues cloud what otherwise seems to be a straightforward prohibition. Is “marking” the same as “tattoo”? Are we bound today by all the rules in Leviticus? In each instance, likely not. We eat shrimp, wear polyester, and live under the law of Christ.
In Ezekiel, various passages refer to God having his seal inked on the foreheads of his servants. There is also that intriguing verse (Revelation 19:16), referring to what appears to be a tattoo on the thigh of the rider known as “the Word of God.” Yet, because social tattooing has such deep pagan roots, the popularity of tattoos at every level of society speaks volumes about the paganization of culture. While there are other indicia of an increasingly pagan mindset, none is as graphic and in-your-face as tattoos.
Yes, our days of the week have pagan names, which doesn’t make us pagans. And at Christmas and Easter we wrap Christian meaning in pagan packaging, which doesn’t make us pagans. Indeed, many believers have tattoos with Christian themes, which obviously doesn’t make one a pagan. But when a classic pagan practice takes such a widespread and lasting hold on society, we’re way past the point of merely a passing fad. We’re talking about a serious seismic shift. Do tattoos provide a clue?
What prompts so many good, decent people to deface their “temples” with inked graffiti? Is it simply to display meaningful symbols, or their unique story? Seems innocent enough. Or, are some so bereft of personal worth that they must shout in bold technicolor, “Notice me!”? Or — as with today’s abandoned, misguided, and confused young people — so desperate for attention as to add the pitiable “neon hair” and body piercing? Whether showing off, or covering over deep wounds, or merely “scrapbooking” on one’s own skin, I suggest that body art is the most visible expression of a self-focused “Me Generation.”
Today’s subtle linguistic change from “He and I” to “Me and him” is not just the crass corruption of grammar, but a reordering of relative importance signifying that “It’s all about me.” The connection is not a coincidence. The showier the truer: tattoos are “all about me” — hardly a Christian virtue.
As Christians, our identity is not to be found in some tattooed sub-culture, as with gangs, but in the culture of Christ. Our identity comes, not from drawing attention to ourselves, but from drawing attention to Christ, through what others see in us, not on us. Our identity is not in displaying permanent fashion accessories, but in the humble fashion by which we live our lives. Our identity is not in body piercing that looks cool, but the “piercing of the ear” that lets the world know we are willing, committed servants of our Master (Exodus 21:2-6).
I’m not saying no one with tattoos can get to Heaven, but of one thing you can be sure: no one will get to Heaven with tattoos. In the words of the Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 15), “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.” Nor ink, presumably. For at the Resurrection, the natural body — whether youthful, wrinkled, amputated, or tattooed — will be raised a spiritual body. And on that Great Gettin’ Up Morning, each saved soul will bear only one image — that of the Heavenly Tattooist who has indelibly marked us as His for eternity.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Mario Cristobal ran through the smoke alongside the Miami Hurricanes as they entered the field, grabbed his headset and gave someone on the sideline a hug.
It was the first of many celebratory moments in Cristobal’s debut game as Miami’s coach.
Henry Parrish rushed for 108 yards and three touchdowns, Tyler Van Dyke passed for two more scores and No. 16 Miami started its season by topping Bethune-Cookman 70-13 on Saturday. Miami rushed for seven touchdowns on the day, piled up 582 yards of offense and turned three takeaways into touchdowns.
“The goal was to be 1-0 by 7:15 tonight,” Cristobal said. “And that was achieved. … We did what we had to do.”
Thaddeus Franklin rushed for two scores, while Devon Perry and Terrell Walden II also ran for touchdowns for the Hurricanes (1-0).
Gilbert Frierson had an interception return for a score, while Xavier Restrepo and Michael Redding III caught the TD passes from Van Dyke — who completed 13 of 16 passes for 193 yards. Jake Garcia completed all eight of his passes for the Hurricanes in relief.
“Amazing to start the season like that,” Frierson said.
For Bethune-Cookman (0-1), Que’Shawn Byrd caught a 34-yard touchdown pass from Jalon Jones.
“It gives us a measuring stick for our football team,” Bethune-Cookman coach Terry Sims said. “When you play a team the caliber of the University of Miami, you have no choice but to play at your best. Our guys, I thought went out and they fought.”
It was Cristobal’s 12th season-opener at Miami — he had five as a player, including his redshirt year, then three as a graduate assistant and three more as a full-fledged assistant.
But this was the first, of what Miami expects to be many, with him in charge of the operation.
“The energy was through the roof,” Restrepo said. “Coach Cristobal, he carries the entire team on his shoulders.”
There was much to like: Van Dyke’s passes were crisp, Parrish stepped up to lead an injury-depleted running back corps, Frierson had the return touchdown, Key’Shawn Smith had three kickoff returns for 184 yards — barely stepping out 17 yards from the end zone on what would have been a return score — and the Hurricanes blocked a field goal.
There also were things that will jump off the film and needs to be corrected, such as Bethune-Cookman getting seven plays of at least 20 yards, two of those being passes that wound up going for gains of 44 and 48. And a red-zone fumble also bothered Cristobal, though he blamed himself for the particulars that went wrong on that play.
“Overall, I thought we played relatively hard,” Cristobal said.
THE TAKEAWAY
Bethune-Cookman: All six games have ended up as easy Miami wins — average margin 42 points — but the Wildcats can feel good about this. They scored first in four of those six matchups, the latest entry on that list coming when they converted a third-and-23 on Saturday’s opening drive on the way to a field goal.
Miami: There were clearly not 56,795 people in the stands Saturday — Hard Rock Stadium holds about 65,000 for football — but that was the announced number of tickets distributed. It was the fourth-highest attendance figure for a Miami home opener since the Hurricanes moved into the Miami Dolphins’ stadium 15 years ago.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Miami should remain ranked and probably won’t deviate far from the current No. 16 spot. It’ll be the 159th time (out of a possible 183) that the poll will include Miami during Cristobal’s years with the Hurricanes as a player, graduate assistant, assistant coach and now head coach.
FOR OPENERS
Miami improved to 65-32-1 all-time in openers, starting with the 1926 season when the Hurricanes fielded only a freshman team. But it’s only the second time in the last five years that Miami has started 1-0, after losses to LSU in 2018, Florida in 2019 and Alabama last year. The Hurricanes opened 2020 with a win over UAB.
UP NEXT
Bethune-Cookman: Host South Carolina State on Sept. 10. South Carolina State led the Wildcats 42-7 last year, but needed an onside kick recovery to seal a 42-35 win.
Miami: Host Southern Miss on Sept. 10, the first meeting between the schools. The Hurricanes will be seeking what would be just their seventh 2-0 start in the last 18 seasons.

Total coins will be 84 million with a block time of 45 seconds – and a block reward reduction of every 840000 blocks. No premine means this is a serious contender with innovative features – not just another clone. “

Alabama defeats Utah State 55-0 in season opener
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WBRC) - The Tide dominated Utah State Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
Alabama beat the Aggies 55-0 in their season opener.
Junior quarterback Bryce Young combined for 295 yards of total offense and six touchdowns.
Young finished the night with a team-leading and career-high 100 yards rushing (five rushes) while throwing for an additional 195 yards on 18-of-28 passes with five touchdowns. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs finished with 93 yards on nine carries in his Crimson Tide debut. Juniors Traeshon Holden (5 catches, 90 yards, 2 TDs) and Jermaine Burton (5 catches, 35 yards, 2 TDs) combined for 10 receptions, 125 yards and four touchdowns to lead the aerial attack.
Redshirt senior Jaylen Moody paced all Tide defenders with five tackles, including one for loss and one quarterback hurry. In all, Alabama’s defense accounted for five tackles for loss, four quarterback hurries and a forced fumble on the way to the team’s first shutout in a season opener in 34 years.
Head Coach Nick Saban had this to say:
“I was really pleased with the way the players approached this game. I thought we had good energy, I thought we had good intensity. We had good preparation throughout this week. [Utah State is] challenging with some of the things they do. I thought the first group did a really good job and we had a lot of intensity. And we’ve missed some things which we need to clean up, but for the most part I thought the first group did a really good job in this game. It was as good team win. I thought the offense played well, defense played well and, except for at the end when we got to punt block, the special teams were solid. But there are things that we need to improve on and get better at and players need to understand the importance of sustaining the kind of intensity they have, whether it’s in preparation or practice, so that we can build and improve as a team. Utah State played hard they have a good team. No disrespect to them, but we’re going to play teams that are much more physical and aggressive and talented than what they are. So, we’re going to have to do things correctly and it’s going to be important the guys get to understand that. I told all the young players on the team that if they are going to get an opportunity to play, are you going to be able to take advantage of that? Are you prepared to go out there and take advantage of doing your job? Knowing what to do and go out there and get five or six penalties, wrong formations, holding calls. It’s good experience for them, but I think the biggest thing is the lesson that they learned in terms of how you have to prepare for a game so you can take advantage of an opportunity when it comes to. We [were able] to play a lot of players. I wish we could even play more but we’re trying to get guys experience to make our team better. And that was the number one goal when we started subbing guys in later on in the game.”

Flight attendant reveals her top three must-have items when travelling – so how many do you pack with you?
- Flight attendant Rosalie Shaw always takes these three things in her carry on
- The Australian hostess has worked in the industry for nine years and learned a lot
- Her must haves include a zip lock bag for he passport and spare clothes
A flight attendant has revealed her top three 'must have's' for every trip - including a zip lock plastic bag for her passport.
Rosalie Shaw has been a flight attendant for nine years, and says she has learned 'plenty' about how to pack for every trip along the way.
The glamorous blonde says she always keeps her passport in a case, to keep the pages from getting crush or torn, before slipping it into a zip lock bag.
Rosalie Shaw has been a flight attendant for nine years, and says she has learned 'plenty' about how to pack for every trip along the way
'I know it seems like a lot but a damaged passport will literally ruin your holiday' she said in a recent TikTok video.
'The bag protects it from any spills like a water bottle, the rain or in my case a really bumpy boat ride,' she said.
The next thing on Rosalie's list is a 'good quality clear bag' for shampoo, conditioner and other liquids.
These sturdy bags last much longer than zip lock bags and can contain mess if there is a mid-flight spill.
Rosalie puts all of her carry-on luggage in the clear bags because 'it's easier to find things' on the go.
She also suggests people take two or three changes of clothes with them - including their favourite and most expensive items.
The glamorous blonde says she always keeps her passport in a case, to keep the pages from getting crush or torn
'That way if your bag does go missing you aren't stranded for outfits.'
Rosalie always has her favourite linen dress in her handheld luggage, a cardigan, a spare pair of underwear, a bikini and a spare pair of shoes.
'One time my bag did go missing but at least I had a bag of backup outfits with me so I wasn't as stressed,' she said. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/travel/article-11177527/Flight-attendant-Rosalie-Shaw-reveals-three-items-travelling.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-04T04:47:14Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/travel/article-11177527/Flight-attendant-Rosalie-Shaw-reveals-three-items-travelling.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 3 |

ConnectWise partners to benefit from an integrated payment processing platform built into ConnectWise Manage and now, ConnectWise Sell.
The acquisition will pair ConnectWise’s best-in-class IT solution provider (TSP) software and services platform with cutting-edge payment processing and invoicing automation functionality.
Designed originally when founder, Paul MacNeill, saw a need to ease the challenge of automating the collection of payments, Wise-Sync is an integration that allows TSPs to improve cash flow, remove painful errors, and allow businesses to scale. In addition to this integration being available in ConnectWise Manage, both groups also announce that partners using ConnectWise Sell now also have access to Wise-Pay as a payment processor, enabling them to fully automate payment collection as their customer approves a quote.
“Wise-Sync provides payment and accounting software integration for MSPs and has a track record for receiving excellent partner feedback,” said Chris Timms, EVP of growth, ConnectWise. “The long-time relationship with Wise-Sync as a trusted integration to ConnectWise APIs makes them a natural choice for onboarding more formally into the ConnectWise family. We are eager to take our first step into the payments processing space – ConnectWise products to date have not had this functionality. Expanding this part of our portfolio is an exciting move for us and our partners.”
Wise-Pay is an integrated payment processing platform that seamlessly couples with Wise-Sync for an entirely automated invoice lifecycle. According to analysts*, 90% of manual invoice processing costs stem from labor; by streamlining the process with accounts receivable automation, costs can be reduced by 17x. Beyond the automation benefits Wise-Pay offers, Wise-Sync has an established relationship with some of the world’s largest payment providers. As a result, Wise-Pay is the preferred choice for reducing the cash gap across hundreds of MSPs.
“As part of ConnectWise, Wise-Sync will be able to leverage ConnectWise’s expertise to further improve our unique ability to bring payment automation experiences to MSPs globally,” said MacNeill, who joins ConnectWise as General Manager, Payments. “Expanding MSPs’ ability to build greater financial efficiency in their business is our top priority. ConnectWise opens doors for us to do so at scale.”
Wise-Sync, which already has deep integration with ConnectWise Manage, and now ConnectWise Sell, will continue to be available for purchase as a standalone product via the ConnectWise Marketplace.
For nearly 40 years, ConnectWise has been committed to enabling and empowering partners to realize their vision of success. | https://industrytoday.com/connectwise-announces-acquisition-of-wise-sync/ | 2022-09-04T04:55:51Z | https://industrytoday.com/connectwise-announces-acquisition-of-wise-sync/ | false | 1 |

“It’s hard when the training you provide may not have been enough”: San Diego State University officials comment on Matt Araiza civil lawsuit
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Officials from San Diego State University (SDSU) are speaking out Monday after a civil lawsuit accused three of their former players of raping a 17-year-old girl in October 2021. This lawsuit includes former Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza.
According to his civil defense attorney, Araiza is back in San Diego after being cut by the Bills on Saturday. SDSU Athletics say no one is above the law and they support the investigation by local law enforcement.
Armstrong, Gilleon comment on Araiza rape allegationsThese comments come as Araiza’s accuser, who is referred to as Jane Doe in the civil lawsuit, spoke on CBS Evening News.
“I was having to deal with this horrible traumatic experience that I never asked for…” Doe said.
The lawsuit accuses Araiza, now 22, of raping the 17-year-old girl with two San Diego State University teammates following a Halloween party at what is stated to have been Araiza’s home in the early morning hours of October 17, 2021.
According to an email from Dan Gilleon, Doe’s attorney, the Bills were made aware of the allegations as recently as late July, indicating that they knew about the accusations when they cut punter Matt Haack earlier this week, clearing the way for Araiza to be the team’s starting punter.
Araiza has retained a criminal defense attorney, who says he was not in the back bedroom that night.
“Mr. Araiza never went inside that bedroom that night,” Kerry Armstrong, Araiza’s criminal defense attorney, said.
San Diego police turned over evidence to the District Attorney’s office, who will decide if criminal charges should be filed. Armstrong says that decision could be made within four to six weeks.
No criminal charges have been filed against Araiza. A spokesperson for the district attorney’s office in San Diego County said the police department submitted an investigation and that it is currently under review.
The San Diego State Athletic Director JD Wicker says his department provides sexual violence and bystander training to student athletes.
San Diego prosecutors reviewing Araiza rape allegation“One of our pillars is to create great human beings and… it’s hard when the training you provide may not have been enough,” Wicker said in a press conference Monday.
Wicker and Aztecs Head Coach Brady Hoke spoke together for almost 10 minutes at the press conference before walking out of the media room. Wicker later returned to take questions about the alleged incident. He said once the department heard about about the alleged incident, it decided to provide additional mandatory sexual violence training to student athletes on November 28 and 29.
“Based on what we had heard from the alleged event, we wanted to bring in enhanced training for our student athletes,” Wicker said.
Araiza’s attorney said his client and defense witnesses claim they were not intoxicated at the party.
“Witnesses who my private investigator has spoken to have all said they just weren’t drinking that much that night. I’m not saying they weren’t drinking, I’m just saying I don’t think anybody there was really that intoxicated at all and I don’t think the young lady was either based on everything I’ve read,” Armstrong said.
Araiza’s attorney called this a “money grab” and a “shakedown”, despite the accuser saying she did not know who Araiza was.
“Well, I know she knew who Mr. Araiza was because she told him, ‘I know who you are.’ and she made another statement which will come out eventually that is very defense friendly, I’ll put it that way,” Armstrong said.
Armstrong would not go into great detail about the defense witnesses. According to the lawsuit, Doe never met Araiza before the party.
“That makes me really sick to my stomach. I reported it the day after it happened. I was 17-years-old and I had no idea who Matt Araiza was,” Doe said.
Attorney for Araiza accuser says family tried for settlementNews 4 obtained a statement by the Araiza Family , which was released Monday evening.

We do not with this experience on anyone, but question why our son is the only one receiving this kind of treatment by social media and national news media. The vitriol has been on him alone.
He has been extorted, discriminated against, harassed and the subject of multiple and continuous threats of violence and death. He has been released from his job and our entire family continues to receive horrific threats of violence and death. We have all been canceled. Every member of our family.

Thomas Tuchel has given a rough timeframe on when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could make his Chelsea debut.
The Gabon striker completed his return to the Premier League – less than a year after departing for La Liga – at the very end of deadline day, with Marcos Alonso heading to Barcelona the other way as part of the deal.
However, Aubameyang arrived in west London with a jaw injury sustained while protecting his family from intruders last week, and while the damage isn’t severe he is heading to Milan to get a mask fitted and speed up the process of getting him back into contact training.
“We try with a mask. It depends a little bit on what the specialists say who create the mask for him. And then how he adapts to the mask,” Tuchel said at a press conference on Friday.
“So maybe it could be Tuesday, although maybe this is very soon. So maybe it’s Fulham, maybe it is a week later.
“The very latest is after the national break, but we try to push things and Auba is happy to push things. He is out there now at the specialist to get his mask done and then he tries, I think, Sunday in training.”
Chelsea brought in nine senior players over the summer, spending a whopping £273.5m – a football record for a single transfer window. | https://www.xtra.net/sport/football/chelsea-boss-reveals-pierre-emerick-aubameyang-debut | 2022-09-04T05:04:19Z | https://www.xtra.net/sport/football/chelsea-boss-reveals-pierre-emerick-aubameyang-debut | false | 1 |

Map of Middle-earth, a handy travel guide to the “Rings of Power”
Now that power rings brought us back to the land of the Lord of the Ringsyou can see where you are going on an interactive map of Middle-earth.
Streaming now on Prime Video, The Rings of Power delves into the story of JRR Tolkienthe fictional fantasy domain of . And in 2019, Amazon tweeted a image of a map of Middle-earth with the caption “Three rings for elven kings under heaven.” Amazon then provided a link to the interactive map.
Although you can zoom in on the landscape featured in the series, all that is shown are various mountain ranges, valleys and rivers, as well as the island of Numenor. There are few clues to specific characters or storylines in the show, unless of course you’re a fan enough of Tolkien’s works to recognize the details – in the show you’ll find high elves in Lindon, for example , or Harfoots in Rhovanion.
Amazon has pledged to commit to multiple seasons for the hugely expensive series, which tells Second Age stories long before the events of Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring and The Hobbit.
For more map-based fun, check out the LOTR Project’s interactive maps of Middle-earth from different eras, showing how the geography of the Rings of Power aligns with the age of the other books and movies.

Kushner, 41, was discharged after his second surgery for thyroid cancer, which was deemed a success, and as the rollout continues for his White House memoir, “Breaking History.”
He wore a white button-up shirt, khaki pants and a New York Mets baseball cap as he rode with Ivanka, 40, and their three children, Arabella, Joseph and Theodore.
Ivanka shielded herself from the sun in a wide-brimmed sun hat and chic dress.
The family were all smiles as they cycled down the boardwalk.

The couple have been busy and a bit more public than after moving to the Sunshine State following the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, under which they both worked.
Ivanka was last seen on Wednesday afternoon fighting back tears as she took an emotional phone call on her way to the gym.
The former senior White House adviser hid her eyes behind a pair of gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses, but appeared to be crying — or almost — while holding her cellphone to her ear.
It’s likely been a tough few months for Ivanka, whose husband, Jared Kushner, underwent a second surgery a week ago to treat an apparent recurrence of thyroid cancer, which was reportedly successful.
The mother-of-three was dressed in a navy hoodie with a white V-pattern and cropped black leggings, despite the balmy Florida weather. She completed her workout look with a pair of black New Balance sneakers.

Her blonde hair was pulled back in a messy knot and her white ear flaps hung around her neck. She also had a red string bracelet on her wrist, which she has worn occasionally for years.
Three weeks ago, Jared and Ivanka were seen visiting the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where he was being treated for the illness.
His latest surgery comes after he first publicly revealed his treatment in his new book, ‘Breaking History: A White House Memoir’.
Jared wrote that he underwent a similar operation for thyroid cancer in 2019 while serving as President Donald Trump’s senior White House adviser.
Along with the stress of her husband’s treatment, Ivanka also mourns the loss of her mother.

Chile votes on draft constitution with big changes
“We are clearly in a situation where the result will be close,” said Marta Lagos, head of MORI, a local pollster. “The Chilean is a political animal who decides at the last minute.”
The outcome will have a resounding impact on President Gabriel Boric, 36, who has been a key supporter of the new constitution. Analysts say voters also likely see the vote as a referendum on Chile’s youngest president, whose popularity has plummeted since taking office in March.
Voting is compulsory in the plebiscite, which culminates a three-year process that began when the country once seen as a paragon of stability in the region exploded in student-led street protests in 2019. The unrest was sparked by an increase in the price of public transport. , but it quickly expanded to broader demands for greater equality and more social protections.
The following year, just under 80% of Chileans voted in favor of changing the country’s constitution which dates from the country’s 1973-1990 military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet.
Then in 2021, they elected delegates to a constitutional convention. Amid the anti-establishment fervor of the time, Chileans largely chose people outside the mainstream political establishment to draft the new constitution. It was the first in the world to be written by a convention divided equally between male and female delegates.
After months of work, the delegates produced a 178-page document with 388 articles which, among other things, emphasizes social issues and gender parity, enshrines the rights of the country’s indigenous population and places l environment and climate change at the center of a country which is the world’s largest producer of copper. It also introduces rights to free education, health care and housing.
The new constitution would characterize Chile as a plurinational state, establish autonomous indigenous territories and recognize a parallel judicial system in those regions, although lawmakers would decide the scope of this decision.
In contrast, the current constitution is a market-friendly document that favors the private sector over the state in areas such as education, pensions and health care. It also makes no reference to the country’s indigenous population, which makes up nearly 13% of the country’s 19 million people.
“It’s a doorway to building a more just and democratic society,” said Elisa Loncon, an indigenous leader who served as the convention’s first president. “It’s not like Chile is waking up with all its political and economic problems automatically solved, but it’s a starting point.”
Hundreds of thousands of people packed a main avenue in the Chilean capital Thursday night at the closing rally of the pro-charter campaign, a turnout that supporters say shows a level of excitement that polls do not reflect.
“The polls weren’t able to capture the new voter, and more importantly, the young voter,” Loncon said.
Once the convention got to work, Chileans quickly began to get angry over the proposed document, with some worrying that it was too left-wing. It is “an imposition by left-wing radicals on society as a whole,” said Paulina Lobos, who campaigned against the proposed document.
Proponents say it was at least partly due to a flood of fake news that spread lies about the draft constitution.
But it wasn’t just about the content of the document. Chileans also grew frustrated with convention delegates who often made headlines for the wrong reasons, such as one who lied about having leukemia and another who voted while taking a shower.
“An opportunity has been missed to build a new social pact in Chile,” said Senator Javier Macaya, leader of the conservative Independent Democratic Union party which is campaigning against the new constitution. “We are defending the option of rejecting (the document) so that we have another chance to do things better.”
Macaya insists that it is important that a new constitution be approved by a wide margin “by consensus and compromise”.
Although Chileans, including the country’s political leaders, largely agree that the dictatorship-era constitution should be rejected, it remains to be seen how that will be achieved if the current proposal is rejected.
“If it is rejected, what is institutionalized is the maintenance of Pinochet’s constitution – this constitution that no longer meets the needs of Chilean society,” Loncon said.

The outbreak of E. coli expands in New York and Kentucky
An outbreak of E. coli centered in the Midwest has spread to New York state, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The outbreak has already been reported in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. New York and Kentucky joined the list on Friday with one case in each state.
The CDC noted that the number of sick people is likely higher than the total of 97 reported in the six states, and the actual number could include other states. Michigan is home to most of those affected — 58, according to the CDC.
In a statement in August, Wendy’s said it was cooperating fully with public health authorities with the investigation and would remove sandwich lettuce from select restaurants in the area.
It’s unclear if it will do so for restaurants in additional states.
The fast food chain did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday night.
Wendy noted that her lettuce has not been confirmed as the source of the outbreak and said she uses a different lettuce in her salads, so that particular supply will remain.
Although no source has been identified, the CDC said about 8 in 10 people who reported their illness ate food from a Wendy’s location within a week of symptom onset. A strong majority of people who could remember details of their orders said they had sandwiches or burgers containing romaine, the agency said.
Investigators were working to confirm the source of the outbreak, the CDC said.
Depending on its form, E. coli can cause diarrhea, urinary tract infection, respiratory illness, pneumonia and other illnesses, according to the CDC.
There is no specific treatment and most people recover naturally. Severe cases should prompt medical attention, the agency said.
The CDC said 43 people were hospitalized and 10 developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can cause kidney failure. No deaths have been reported.

Film ‘Important’, ‘Building culture is the most important thing we can do’
Tim Pool, host of the popular eponymous Timcast IRL podcast, announced the production of my hunter son as an important example of creating cultural content to compete with and oppose the establishment of woke corporate entertainment.
Pool highlighted the impact of culture on politics during a livestream on Thursday with my hunter son director Robert Davis (License to Kill, Die Hard, The Goonies), Alex Marlow, editor of Breitbart News, and documentary filmmaker and journalist Lauren Southern. Their discussion coincided with and followed President Joe Biden’s prime time speech.
“It’s a movie called my hunter sonand it’s about the Bidens, and I mean culture is everything,” Pool said.
He echoed a maxim of Andrew Breitbart: “Politics is downstream of culture”. Cultural influences. Culture inspires and culture decides whether or not a law really fits in the books.
Watch below:
“Building culture is the most important thing we can do, and that’s why I think the film you’re making is so important,” Pool said, adding, “I’m thrilled about that.”
Watch the trailer:
Southern said, “There’s nothing more important you can do right now than support art that isn’t communist.”
Davi said, “We have to become culture warriors.”
Breitbart News reported on Pool’s entry into the music business with his debut single:
Unclassifiable social media superstar Tim Pool has amassed a massive online following — garnering nearly half a billion views on YouTube — by embracing an anti-establishment, anti-revival worldview that doesn’t buy into politics conventional partisan. His foray into music represents a continuation of this mindset, with the recent self-release of his single “Only Ever Wanted”.
The song is Pool’s first to be released on his own label, Timcast Records. After telling her millions of followers to check it out, ‘Only Ever Wanted’ soared up the charts, reaching No. 2 on iTunes’ Top 10 Songs – just below Britney Spears’ first new song in six years. – and the No. 1 place in Alternative Rock.
my hunter son marks Breitbart’s expansion into film distribution.
The film is available for PRE ORDER NOW on MySonHunter.com and will be available to stream and download on September 7. The trailer has already been viewed over 4.5 million times on social media.

Pilot threatens to ‘intentionally crash’ into Mississippi Walmart – NBC Chicago
An airport worker who knew how to take off but not land stole a small plane on Saturday and threatened to crash it into a Walmart, circling for five hours above pissed off Mississippians before ending the flight safely in a field of soybeans where the police arrested him.
Cory Wayne Patterson, 29, was uninjured after the hard landing shortly after posting a farewell message to his parents and sister on Facebook, authorities said at a news conference. The post said he “never really meant to hurt anyone.”
After an anxious morning watching the plane’s winding path overhead, Tupelo Mayor Todd Jordan called the resolution “a best-case scenario.”
No one was hurt.
Patterson was employed to refuel planes at Tupelo Regional Airport, giving him access to the twin-engine Beechcraft King Air C90A, police chief John Quaka said.
It was not immediately clear why, shortly after 5 a.m., the 10-year-old Tupelo Aviation employee took off in the fully fueled plane. Fifteen minutes later, Patterson called a Lee County 911 dispatcher to say he planned to crash the plane into a Tupelo Walmart, Quaka said. Officers evacuated people from Walmart and a nearby convenience store.
“It’s more likely a crime of opportunity,” Quaka said, adding that the airport tower isn’t occupied until 6 a.m.
Police negotiators were able to make contact during the flight and convince Patterson to land, but he didn’t know how. He was coached by a private pilot to nearly land at Tupelo airport, but he aborted the attempt at the last minute and resumed the flight, authorities said.
A negotiator restored contact around 10 a.m. and learned Patterson had landed in a field and was uninjured, Quaka said. The plane landed near Ripley, Mississippi, about 85 miles (140 kilometers) southeast of Memphis, Tennessee, and about 45 miles (70 kilometers) northwest of Tupelo.
“There is damage, but believe it or not, the plane is intact,” the chief told reporters.
Patterson, whose Facebook page said he was from Shannon, was charged with robbery and threatening terrorism. Quaka said federal authorities could also bring charges. Police said Patterson was not believed to be a licensed pilot, but had some flying instruction.
Jordan said Patterson contacted family members during the flight. The mayor said he hoped Patterson “gets the help he needs.”
“Sorry everyone. I never meant to hurt anyone. I love my parents and my sister, it’s not your fault. Goodbye,” read Patterson’s Facebook post posted around 9:30 a.m.
Peter Goelz, former chief executive of the National Transportation Safety Board, said the vulnerability of small airports, which handle small planes and business jets, has worried security experts for years.
“If you have a trained pilot who can climb and catch a corporate jet, you have a pretty lethal weapon there,” he said.
Ripley resident Roxanne Ward told The Associated Press that she tracked the plane online and went to her stepfather’s house with the intention of going to the basement for some security reasons. She said she heard the thud when the plane hit the ground on her father-in-law’s property.
She and others rode on four-wheeled vehicles to cross.
“As soon as it crashed, the police were there and waiting,” said Ward, who was watching from a distance. “The police took him out. They yelled at him, ‘Guns up.’ She said the pilot got out of the plane without resisting the police.
Michael Canders, director of the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College in New York, called the incident “a wake-up call” for general aviation airports and their staff.
The Transportation Security Administration requires annual training emphasizing a “see something, say something” approach to try to prevent a scenario like what police believe happened in Tupelo — an employee with access to an airplane , Canders said.
“That very thing is discussed in the course, the potential for someone to access and intend to cause harm,” he said. “It depends on everyone who works at an airport. If you see someone you don’t recognize or unusual activity, you are expected to report it.
An online flight-tracking service showed the plane’s swirling path across the sky early Saturday.
Leslie Criss, a magazine editor who lives in Tupelo, woke up early and watched the situation on TV and social media. Several of his friends were outside watching the plane circle overhead.
“I’ve never seen anything like it in this town,” Criss told AP. “It’s a scary way to wake up on a Saturday morning.”
Goelz said the FAA and Department of Homeland Security would likely review the incident and issue guidance focused on tightening security, a potentially costly prospect.
“For an airport like Tupelo, for them to increase security Saturday morning at 5 a.m. when their tower doesn’t open until 6 a.m., that’s expensive,” Goelz said. “They won’t have the funds unless the federal government provides them.”
The plane drama unfolded as tens of thousands of college football fans headed north from the Mississippi for Saturday football games at the University of Mississippi in Oxford and Mississippi State University in Starkville. Tupelo is between these two cities.
Jane and Daniel Alsup stood in their front yard near where the plane landed and watched it circle low above the pines and oaks.
“He left for a while, then we heard him come back. Just a few seconds later we heard a loud ‘jester’ and it landed in the soybean field,” said Jane Alsup.
Daniel Alsup said the plane landed on the other side of some trees, so they didn’t see it hit the ground.
“It was the best place it could have happened,” he said of the rural landing site.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Every day for the past two weeks, the routine was the same: Argentina’s powerful Vice President Cristina Fernández was met by a crowd of feverish supporters who wanted to touch their leader. And every day she obliged and approached them.
But on Thursday the routine pressing of the flesh took a sinister turn when a man in the sea of supporters pointed a handgun inches from the vice president’s face and pulled the trigger with a distinct click.
The loaded .38-caliber semiautomatic weapon evidently jammed, and the suspect was arrested. Now the apparent assassination attempt is raising questions about whether the most influential woman in Argentine politics for the past two decades should change her relationship with the many loyal followers who constantly seek a handshake or autograph.
“Cristina was cornered,” said Silvana Venegas, a 43-year-old woman who witnessed the event. “She was easy prey, very easy.”
For a few minutes afterward, Fernández continued signing autographs and waving. Her security detail seized the gunman but did not remove her from the area.
Argentina media have reported that Fernández told the investigating judge she was unaware a gun had been pointed at her until she got inside her apartment. She also confirmed speculation that when she appeared to duck, she was actually crouching to pick up a book that had fallen to the ground.
Jorge Vidal, a public security expert who used to work for the Buenos Aires city government, said the security response to the incident was “far from being a professional performance.”
While security teams must do as they are told by those they guard, he said, “politicians must understand that not all the hands that are stretched out to touch or greet them are to caress or shake.”
No politician awakens more passion in Argentina than Fernández, 69, who is revered by some for her left-leaning social welfare policies and reviled by others as corrupt and power-hungry, and she has long derived political strength from her closeness to the crowds that venerate her.
Supporters compare her to Eva Perón, the wife of Juan Domingo Perón, a military officer elected president in 1946. As First Lady, Perón espoused women’s rights and was known as a benefactor of the poor. After her early death in 1952, she became enshrined in Argentina’s national mythology.
Outpourings of devotion to Fernández have intensified recently after a prosecutor sought to send her to prison for 12 years over corruption allegations involving public works while she was president from 2007 to 2015.
Fernández and her backers say the case is an act of political revenge, and the front of her apartment building in the downtown Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta has become a sanctuary for hundreds of followers outraged by the accusations against her.
As she left and returned each day, she clasped the hands of men and women who shouted “Cristina, I love you!” She also signed dozens of copies of her political autobiography, titled “Sinceramente,” or Spanish for “sincerely.”
A young man who was in the crowd Thursday night said he was right in front of Fernández when the handgun emerged.
“I tell Cristina that I loved her, and she caresses me. I see an arm sticking out … with a gun,” the man, who was identified only as Javier for security reasons, told reporters Friday after giving his account to the investigating judge.
The only previous incident occurred last Saturday, when tension developed between Fernández followers and police who sought to remove them due to neighbors’ complaints.
The vice president complained about the treatment of her supporters and accused Buenos Aires Mayor Horacio Rodríguez Larreta of keeping her under siege, and security around the building was soon relaxed.
“We noticed that there were fewer police officers. I saw two from the federal (police). It was full of people,” Venegas said.
Javier, the young witness, declared in court that he and other supporters detained the suspect, not the police.
“I grab him, and also others,” he said.
The vice president has not spoken publicly since the incident. Some friends and political allies have been able to see her.
“Cristina is shocked, shocked,” said Sen. Oscar Parrilli, who is close to the vice president. “She is fine, luckily, because she has her spirit and her temper intact.”
The attempted shooting shook Argentina, a country that has a history of political violence but has not seen a similar attack since democracy was restored in 1983 after years of dictatorship.
President Alberto Fernández, who is not related to the vice president, has said that the weapon was loaded with five bullets and that for “a reason not yet technically confirmed, it was not fired.”
The suspect has been identified as Fernando André Sabag Montiel, a 35-year-old street vendor from Brazil who has lived in Argentina since 1998 and has no prior criminal record. He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Authorities have shed no light on a possible motive and are investigating whether the gunman acted alone or as part of a larger plot.
The day after the incident, Fernandez’ supporters demonstrated throughout the country under the slogan “Everybody with Cristina.”
Buenos Aires’ central Plaza de Mayo filled with people of all ages brandishing handwritten signs with messages such as “Always with Cristina, the people do not forget” and “Cristina is of the people and no one touches her.”
At her home, meanwhile, dozens of federal agents stood guard.
Fernández emerged and approached a group of supporters to greet them, then got into a car to go to an unknown destination. | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/international/ap-attack-raises-doubts-about-argentine-vps-security-protocols/ | 2022-09-04T05:10:06Z | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/international/ap-attack-raises-doubts-about-argentine-vps-security-protocols/ | true | 28 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Much like for so many other folks, Serena Williams’ last match at the U.S. Open was must-see TV for players still in the tournament, so Jessica Pegula and Petra Kvitova tuned in from their hotel rooms the night before their victories led off Saturday’s schedule and set up a fourth-round showdown.
“Of course I watched Serena. I’m like everyone else,” said Pegula, a 28-year-old American who is seeded No. 8 at Flushing Meadows and beat qualifier Yuan Yue 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-0. “You feel kind of sad that’s how it ends. But, I don’t know, like I got a little, like, sentimental, too, watching her, how emotional she was getting.”
Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon champion from the Czech Republic, credited Williams’ last stand — the owner of 23 Grand Slam titles fended off five match points before bowing out in three sets against Ajla Tomljanovic on Friday night in what is expected to be her final contest — with offering inspiration.
“It was very special. She didn’t want to leave the court, for sure. That was the same case with me today, actually. I didn’t want to go out of this tournament, so I was just there hanging (in), somehow,” said Kvitova, who erased deficit after deficit, including a pair of match points, to edge Garbiñe Muguruza 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (12-10).
“That’s what Serena showed last night,” said Kvitova, who dropped her racket and covered her face with her ends when what she called a “nightmare” of a tiebreaker was over. “It was nice to see her yesterday, fighting until the end.”
Yes, Williams is gone, leaving the year’s last major tournament — and, in some ways, the sport as a whole — without its biggest star and storyline. Still, the show must go on.
So there was Kvitova, undaunted as ever, despite dropping the first set, despite trailing 5-2 in the third, despite being a point from defeat twice at 6-5.
Here’s how close this one was: Kvitova won 109 total points, Muguruza 108.
“Left everything on the court today,” said No. 9 Muguruza, a two-time Slam winner whose departure means the bracket is without six of the top 10 women entering the fourth round.
No. 1 Iga Swiatek advanced by beating Lauren Davis 6-3, 6-4, and No. 6 Aryna Sabalenka defeated Clara Burel 6-0, 6-2.
During the night session in Ashe, 22-time major champ Rafael Nadal improved his career mark against Richard Gasquet to 18-0 with a 6-0, 6-1, 7-5 victory. Nadal won the opening nine games and was on his way to improving to 22-0 in Grand Slam matches in 2022.
Nadal did not have stitches or a bandage on his nose, two days after accidentally cutting it with his racket during his previous victory.
“A little bit bgger than usual, but it’s OK,” he said with a smile. “The nose is still there.”
Nadal’s win was followed by Australian Open runner-up Danielle Collins’ 6-4, 7-6 (11-9) win over Alizé Cornet.
On Monday, Nadal will take on No. 22 Frances Tiafoe, the first American man since Mardy Fish in 2010-12 to get to the U.S. Open’s fourth round in three consecutive years. Tiafoe eliminated No. 14 Diego Schwartzman 7-6 (7), 6-4, 6-4.
It was going to be tough for any of the day’s matches to live up to the sort of attention Williams drew, or the atmosphere she helped create, during her three-match run in Ashe.
“I just can’t believe the ‘era of Serena’ on the tennis court is over,” Pegula said. “I mean, it’s just hard to picture tennis without her.”
In other action Saturday, two-time Australian Open champion Viktoria Azarenka was a 6-3, 6-0 winner against Petra Martic; two-time major runner-up Karolina Pliskova beat Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Belinda Bencic 5-7, 6-4, 6-3; No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz, a 19-year-old Spaniard, defeated unseeded Jenson Brooksby, a 21-year-old Californian, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3; No. 7 Cam Norrie beat No. 28 Holger Rune 7-5, 6-4, 6-1 in the men’s draw; No. 9 Andrey Rublev got past No. 19 Denis Shapovalov 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 7-6 (10-7); and 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic beat No. 20 Dan Evans 7-6 (11), 6-7 (3); 6-2, 7-5. Upcoming matchups include Azarenka vs. Bencic; Alcaraz vs. Cilic, and Norrie vs. Rublev.
As for Kvitova-Muguruza, Rublev-Shapovalov required the new final-set tiebreaker format to determine the winner. The four Grand Slam tournaments agreed to adopt a uniform system this year, with the third sets of women’s matches and fifth sets of men’s decided by a first-to-10, win-by-two formula; the U.S. Open used to have the more traditional first-to-seven setup.
Pegula’s domination of her last set made that sort of thing entirely unnecessary. She had wasted a chance to close out the victory a half-hour earlier when she wasn’t able to convert her match point, but quickly regrouped.
Pegula started her Grand Slam career by going 3-8. She’s gone 22-7 since, including runs to quarterfinals at the Australian Open each of the past two years and the French Open this year.
The 28-year-old American, whose parents own the NFL’s Buffalo Bills and NHL’s Buffalo Sabres, came into Saturday with an 0-2 record in third-round matches at Flushing Meadows, including a loss to Kvitova in 2020.
Pegula gets another shot at her Monday.
“Petra is so hard to play. I feel like when she’s on, she blows you off the court. And then sometimes she can be off. .. She’s a fighter. When it clicks, it’s really difficult,” Pegula said, then was sure to add: “I think I’m a much better player now than I was when I played her last time.”

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/2725771554055/building-collapses-at-construction-site-in-pennsylvania-search-ensues-for-missing-worker | 2022-09-04T05:15:29Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2725771554055/building-collapses-at-construction-site-in-pennsylvania-search-ensues-for-missing-worker | false | 12721 |
LOS ANGELES – Never underestimate the restorative powers of a good night’s sleep.
After a cross-country flight that brought them back from New York in the late-night hours, the Dodgers were held to one run on four hits Friday night. Given a day to sleep in and shake off the effects of jet lag, they pounded the San Diego Padres, hitting four home runs through the super-heated Southern California air in a 12-1 rout Saturday night.
The win snapped the Dodgers’ first three-game losing streak since June 8-10 and shrank their magic number to clinch another NL West title down to 12.
“A good night’s sleep definitely does help,” said Mookie Betts who hit one of the homers. “Obviously we don’t have any excuses. We’re not the only team that’s happened to. It happens to everyone. But it’s something that somehow, you just got to get some will power and get through and we didn’t. Luckily today we came out and Julio pitched well and we played well.”
Trea Turner got a little ‘me’ time after the late arrival, getting his first day off this season on Friday and responded with a two-run home run in his first at-bat Saturday. Betts got his break in the form of a night at second base — an “abbreviated off day on the dirt,” Dave Roberts called it — and responded with a three-run home run, breaking his previous career-high in homers.
“He’s just playing really good baseball,” Roberts said. “He’s slugging a lot more recently (10 home runs since the start of August). That’s just a byproduct of he’s just seeing it so well. It just seems like every at-bat he’s finding a barrel, hitting the ball out of the ballpark, taking a good at-bat.”
Justin Turner hit the third homer off Padres starter Sean Manaea who has found facing the Dodgers the most daunting part of his move from Oakland to San Diego this season. In three starts against the Dodgers this season, Manaea has a 15.63 ERA (22 earned runs in 12 ⅔ innings) and the Dodgers have batted .397 (25 for 63) with five doubles, a triple and five home runs.
“I have no idea. I truly don’t know,” Betts said of the Dodgers’ tormenting of Manaea. “Maybe he just gets us on the rest days.”
Betts led off with that triple in the bottom of the first inning, a gift from Padres right fielder Juan Soto who took a less-than-direct route towards the slicing line drive then tumbled to the ground after he was unable to reach it.
Turner followed with his first home run in 113 plate appearances and first extra-base hit in 33. He had taken a 7-for-30 slump into his first off day Friday.
In the third, Freddie Freeman singled off the second base bag (the first of his three hits in the game) and scored from first base on Will Smith’s two-out double. Smith later added a three-run home run for a four-RBI night, giving him 79 for the season. Saturday’s came as a DH but he leads all catchers in RBI.
Betts’ 33rd home run of the season came in the fourth inning with two on and two out. It topped his previous best (32 during his AL MVP season in 2018) and tied Joc Pederson (2019) for the most in franchise history from a leadoff hitter.
“I think if you’d ask who was going to lead our team in homers this year I don’t think Mookie would have been many people’s first choice,” Roberts said. “But he’s having a tremendous MVP-type season. He can still get a hit, take a walk, control the strike zone. Those are all the ingredients you want from an elite player.”
Turner’s two-run home run was only his second since July 8 (and 10th of the season). But he has come alive offensively in that time, batting .345 (38 for 110) with 24 RBI in his past 30 games.
That was more than enough to back Julio Urias who seems to be getting stronger as the season goes on. He allowed one run on two hits (one of them a solo home run by Manny Machado that did not go over well with the Dodger Stadium crowd) in six innings against the Padres.
He struck out only two and walked three but it was the sixth consecutive start in which Urias has allowed one run or no runs and the eighth time in his past nine starts. In 16 starts since the beginning of June, Urias has gone 12-2 with a 1.94 ERA, holding batters to a .172 average.
“I just try to stay the same and do my job,” Urias said in Spanish. “I trust what we’re doing, the gameplans from the coaches. The job the coaches do during the week helps us be ready for our starts.”
The last pitcher to get the final out in a World Series-clinching game for the Dodgers has emerged as their Game 1 starter when they pursue another title next month.
“We’re putting ourselves in a situation where we can set the rotation,” Roberts acknowledged. “But he’s a top-end guy. Every year he’s gotten better and earned that potential opportunity.”
Blake Treinen made his first big-league appearance since April 14, retiring the side in order in the seventh inning.

Aurangabad: A 77-year-old retired official of the central excise department, while trying to link her Aadhaar card to her pension account using a mobile phone, ended up being cheated by unidentified cyber criminals. She was cheated of Rs 17,000.
The police said that the suspects not only swindled Rs 17,000 found in the woman’s savings account but also obtained a cash credit loan of Rs 3.7 lakh on the six fixed deposits she has in the bank.
Sudha Shimpi, a resident of N-7, Cidco, in her complaint, stated that earlier this year, she lost her Aadhar card. On January 30, she reached out to the TV centre-based branch of a union bank when an official from the bank suggested she link her Aadhar card with her bank account by using a mobile phone.
On February 1, she received a call from an unidentified caller claiming to be a representative of the bank and warned that if she fails to do the KYC, her bank account will be blocked. They asked her to call on a number to get her KYC. Falling prey to the trap, an elderly woman, with the help of her grandson, contacted the given number and shared all the details asked by the suspect.
During her visit to the bank on March 14, she found that the amount from her account was missing.
Later she obtained all the transaction details of her account and found that unidentified suspects not only cheated her of cash worth Rs 17, 000 that was in her savings account but also obtained a 90% cash credit loan of Rs 3.72 lakh on her six different fixed deposits.
The elderly woman, in her complaint, has alleged that bank staffers, without taking her consent have allowed unidentified suspects to obtain cash credit loans. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/aurangabad/woman-cheated-of-17000-in-aurangabad/articleshow/93978269.cms | 2022-09-04T05:27:41Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/aurangabad/woman-cheated-of-17000-in-aurangabad/articleshow/93978269.cms | false | 1 |
It’s a common dilemma: Where can I get that much-needed baby formula, loaf of bread or cat food on a Sunday evening, when most shops have shut? Fortunately for Bristolians seeking everyday essentials after 4pm, users of popular online forum Reddit have crowdsourced some helpful answers.
Reddit user SmallCatBigMeow asked on the r/Bristol subreddit: “Supermarkets that are open past 4pm on a Sunday – are there any, apart from small shops?” The question clearly touched a nerve, as it had attracted 75 replies in just 24 hours.
Some of these were clarifying the Sunday trading laws, confusion over which caused some to say that no shop could open after 4pm. In fact, the Sunday Trading Act 1994 permits shops over 280 square metres in size to open for a maximum of six hours between 10am and 6pm – before this, selling on a Sunday was completely illegal.

Others offered options like Tesco Express, Sainsbury's Local and Morrisons Daily, which are generally under 280 square metres and thus exempt from the Sunday trading legislation. But for those seeking kitty litter or a mop bucket, there are superstore options.
That’s unless you live in the southwest of the city, which appears to be relatively poorly appointed with late-opening outlets. In any other quadrant there are several options, some of which are listed below.
Sainsbury’s Arnos Vale - This full-size supermarket in southeast Bristol opens from 11am to 5pm on Sundays, giving later shoppers an extra hour to get the groceries in. Reddit user NightmareHollow17 supplied this tip, which the OP called “super extra helpful”.
Little Waitrose Clifton Triangle - This mid-sized market in northwest Bristol is open from 12pm until 6pm. As several commenters noted, this afternoon-only option is especially common in London. The tip came courtesy of Reddit user querkmachine.
Sainsbury’s Clifton Triangle - Not far from the Waitrose shop listed above is another Sainsbury’s which also adopts “London hours” of noon to 6pm. Thanks for this tip also go to user querkmachine.
The Co-operative Food Redland - On popular shopping street Whiteladies Road, just opposite Clifton Down train station, is a Co-operative Food outlet. It is bigger than the supermarket mini-mes but, exempt from Sunday trading laws, it opens from 7am to 10pm.
M&S Foodhall Eastville - Situated in the northeast corner of the city, this upmarket retailer also chooses to delay Sunday opening until 11am so shoppers can continue browsing until just before 5pm, when it closes. User djthinking supplied this tip.
The Food Warehouse Avonmeads - This frozen food specialist is also open until 5pm on Sundays. It’s not a lot of extra time, but could make the difference between sausages on Monday morning or not. Harmonica95 pointed this one out.
So there’s no need to panic if it’s 4.15pm and the cupboards are bare, thanks to the helpful denizens of Reddit. Alternatively you could move to London, where the shops are open later and the cost of living is no longer that much higher than here.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Matt Duffy's bloop single in the 12th inning drove in Taylor Ward with the winning run Saturday night as the Los Angeles Angels rallied for a 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros.
The Angels came through on a night Shohei Ohtani reached 400 major league strikeouts but did not factor in the decision.
With Ward as the automatic runner in the 12th, Max Stassi drew a walk from Will Smith with two outs. Seth Martinez (0-2) came on and Astros center fielder Mauricio Dubon appeared to make a diving catch on Duffy’s ball, but first-base umpire Jordan Baker said Dubon didn’t come up with it in time.
Instant replay upheld the call as the ball hit the ground before Dubon was able to get his glove on it.
Ryan Tepera (3-2) pitched a scoreless inning to pick up the win.
Ohtani threw a a season-high 111 pitches over eight innings, allowing six hits and striking out five. It was the fourth time in the majors — and second this year — he has gone eight innings.
Ohtani and Houston's Luis Garcia were locked in an entertaining pitchers duel as each just allowed one run. Garcia went seven innings, struck out seven and gave up only three hits with two walks.
Through 23 starts this year, Ohtani has 181 strikeouts, which is eighth in the majors, and his 2.58 ERA is ninth.
Just 10 pitchers in MLB history have reached 400 strikeouts faster than Ohtani. The list includes Dwight Gooden, Hideo Nomo, San Diego’s Yu Darvish, Cleveland’s Shane Bieber and Noah Syndergaard, who began the year with the Angels before being traded to Philadelphia.
It is the third time this season the Angels won when being held to four or fewer hits.
Ohtani retired the first 10 Astros' hitters before Yuli Gurriel beat the shift and lined a base hit into right field in the fourth inning. The Angels quickly got out of the inning though when Alex Bregman ground into a double play.
Houston was able to scratch across a run in the fifth. Trey Mancini hit a line-drive double to the wall in right-center and J.J. Matijevic followed with an RBI single into the left-field gap.
The Astros had the bases loaded with two outs in the sixth, but Christian Vázquez popped out to right fielder Taylor Ward to end the inning.
The Angels were held to two hits through six innings before evening it in the seventh. Luis Rengifo had a leadoff hit to right field and advanced to second on Ward's walk. Both players advanced on Mike Ford's fly ball to deep center before Ryan Aguilar's sacrifice fly to right drove in Rengifo. It also was Aguilar’s first career RBI.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Astros: DH Yordan Alvarez missed his fifth straight game due to hand soreness. He hit from the batting cages before Saturday's game and may be back in the lineup on Sunday. ... INF/OF Aledmys Díaz (left groin discomfort) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple A Sugar Land on Thursday. ... RHP Justin Verlander (right calf) threw on flat ground in Houston. ... RHP Ryan Pressly (neck spasms) threw a 26-pitch bullpen session before the game and could be activated by Tuesday.
Angels: RHP Michael Lorenzen (right shoulder strain) did well in Friday's rehab start with Class A Inland Empire and will come off the 60-day injured list within the next 5-7 days. Lorenzen's last big league start was on July 1.
UP NEXT
Astros: RHP José Urquidy (12-5, 3.69 ERA) is receiving an average run support of 6.60 per start, which leads the majors.
Angels: LHP Tucker Davidson (2-4, 5.77) faces Houston for the first time.

57 catalytic converters stolen from school vans, 3rd time in 10 months Trumbull school vehicles targeted
A new school year means new beginnings. But just one day before Cooperative Educational Services in Trumbull welcomed back its first students, staff discovered a problem that unfortunately wasn’t new. Thieves had vandalized 19 of CES’s transportation vehicles, cutting out a total of 57 catalytic converters, according to Trumbull police. It happened in the overnight hours Thursday in the lot at 25 Oakview Dr. where the vans are stored.
Lt. Brian Weir, of Trumbull police, said the vehicles were Chevy Express vans. Each one had three catalytic converters.
CES provides educational support and services to more than a dozen school districts and communities in Fairfield County. The first students started Friday, but CES Executive Director Charles Dumais said kids weren’t impacted. In an email to News 12, Dumais wrote, "Due to our relationships with area districts and EdAdvance, our partner Regional Educational Service Center, we were able to operate without any service disruption."
Dumais also said CES is working with local dealerships to get replacements, but supply chain issues will slow that down.
“I don’t have the total value of theft, but they are several thousand dollars per catalytic converter,” Weir told said. “So, you’re talking about tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of larceny.”
It’s the third time in 10 months police are investigating a school fleet being hit. In April they were called to the Durham School Services lot on Spring Hill Road after catalytic converters were stolen from 16 small buses . Last November, CES was targeted for the first time when 28 vehicles were damaged.
Dumais said after those thefts, CES put additional security measures into place so staff will look into how this still happened again.
Weir told News 12 investigators are following some leads and working on getting surveillance video from the cameras there. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2725782792533/57-catalytic-converters-stolen-from-school-vans-3rd-time-in-10-months-trumbull-school-vehicles-targeted | 2022-09-04T06:00:18Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2725782792533/57-catalytic-converters-stolen-from-school-vans-3rd-time-in-10-months-trumbull-school-vehicles-targeted | false | 1 |
‘Death trap’ roads overlooked in key Victorian electorate, says council
Michelle Hansford frets every day when her family members drive to work via the Western Highway out of Melton, and she has good reason. In the past 12 months, three of them have been in car accidents on the same stretch of road – rear-ended or sideswiped by vehicles that had to slow at short notice due to congestion.
“Every day there are accidents on that road and I just think, ‘Oh, god’,” she says. “You hear that people have died on that road, it just makes you feel sick.”
The Hansford family’s crashes were among 438 over the past decade on the 25-kilometre stretch of Western Highway between Brooklyn Road and Robinsons Road, where 136 people have been seriously injured and 10 killed.
An upgrade of this “death trap” highway tops the list of demands from Melton City Council in the lead-up to the state election as the outer-fringe electorate shapes to be a key seat in November.
The City of Melton – where 50 families move in and 50 babies are born a week – wants major upgrades of the Western Highway, Melton Highway, Hopkins Road and the Calder Park Drive corridor to deal with an explosion in housing developments over the past 15 years.
The four main roads have recorded 822 crashes over the past 10 years, 17 deaths and 284 serious injuries. Comparable data for other Melbourne roads is not available, but the Melton local government area features in the top 10 of 33 metropolitan local government areas for serious accidents and fatalities over the past decade, recording 56 deaths and 47 serious injuries.
City of Melton is the third-fastest-growing council area in the country, and is on track to match Canberra’s population of 500,000 residents by 2050. About three-quarters of the area’s residents need to leave it for work each day, but places such as Rockbank are serviced only by a V-Line train twice an hour during the morning peak.
“The rail line still hasn’t been electrified despite promises dating back 40 years,” Mayor Goran Kesic said. He said his council had been lobbying for electrification of the Melton-Bacchus Marsh railway for years, but with no obvious plan from the state government he was instead focusing efforts on a public campaign for immediate road improvements.
Data from the Transport Accident Commission shows the council area sits behind nine other metro areas for the severity of road danger over the past decade: Mornington Peninsula (82 deaths and 73 serious injuries); Yarra Ranges (81 deaths and 73 serious injuries); Cardinia (73 deaths and 66 serious injuries); Brimbank (73 deaths and 64 injuries); Cardinia (73 deaths and 64 injuries); Casey (72 deaths and 62 serious injuries); Wyndham (70 deaths and 57 serious injuries); Monash (56 deaths and 50 serious injuries); and Hume (62 deaths and 55 serious injuries).
But Kesic said Melton was being overlooked and was handling not only a surge in local drivers from housing estates but also, on roads such as the Western Highway, vehicles heading to Ballarat, Geelong and South Australia.
“It’s the sheer numbers of the vehicles on a very small, basic road which is what I say is ‘chariot-class’,” he said.
Liz Taylor, a senior lecturer in urban planning and design at Monash University, said she “lacked words” for the scale of growth in Melton over the past 15 years, with much attributed to an explosion in housing estates in what used to be empty paddocks.
Developers of housing estates contribute a tax to fund infrastructure to cater for the people they bring to an area, but Taylor said the way the money was allocated by state governments was “opaque” and it was not dispensed in a timely way that kept pace with growth.
“I wouldn’t say [growth in Melton] is without strategy, but there is a lag [in funding],” she said. “It happens over decades when people are moving there now.”
Before the federal election earlier this year, Labor committed to a $10 million business case for the Western Highway upgrade, and the state government allocated $14.9 million to duplicate a small section of the Melton Highway.
But Kesic said those commitments fell well short of the work needed, and his area was being overlooked compared with other growth corridors.
“There is so much more to be done. This is just a drop in the sea really,” he said.
The Victorian government has committed $16.86 million to upgrading the intersections of Melton Highway and Sunshine Avenue, and Old Calder Highway and Sunshine Avenue – although these roads are not part of Melton City Council’s campaign push and works have not begun.
A spokeswoman for the government pointed to its investment in roads in Melbourne’s west through the Western Roads Upgrade, and said the Western Rail Plan was “investigating a fast, high-capacity rail network servicing growing outer suburbs and regional cities”.
Melton, once a safe Labor seat, is tipped as an electorate to watch at the November state election, among several outer-suburban seats up for grabs due in part to dissatisfaction with lockdowns and cost-of-living pressures.
In 2018, Labor recorded a statewide 5 per cent swing in its favour, but in Melton there was a 7 per cent swing to the Liberal Party. The Liberals have preselected former Burwood MP Graham Watt.
Coalition spokesman for public transport and roads Danny O’Brien said the Liberal candidate had lobbied him on “local needs in Melton” and the Coalition would announce road policies closer to the election.
“So many communities want to see investment in road projects but they are being stymied by a government that has overseen cost blowouts of $30 billion on Melbourne mega-projects,” he said.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan season 2: Is Symphony leaving?
On this weekend’s Power Book III: Raising Kanan season 2 episode 4, we had a chance to see Symphony re-enter the picture. That was exciting, but it also does make us wonder about the future of this character (played by Toby Sandeman) in the overall world.
One thing that has been very much clear from the start with Raq (Patina Miller) is that she lives within two worlds. There is who she is while she runs her business, and then the other part where she tries to have a “normal life.” Take her relationship with Kanan, or the romance that she had with Symphony throughout much of season 1.
Want to watch our latest Power Book III: Raising Kanan review right now? Then go ahead and do that below! After that, remember to SUBSCRIBE to Matt & Jess on YouTube for other updates.
During tonight’s episode the two reunited and, as fun as it was to see them again, Symphony also had a request: He didn’t want Raq to call him anymore. Why? For starters, it hurt too much — he recognized that there was always going to be this big difference between who they were and he couldn’t handle the constant push-and-pull. He also had a beautiful life — Raq viewed Symphony as a vacation, whereas he wants to be thought of as a home. She asked so much of him at the end of season 1 and now, his eyes are a little more opened and he’s traveling down a different path.
So will this really be the end for this character? We hope not, since we do like him and what he brings to this world. However, we’re also well-aware of the fact that it could be tough to continue to bring him around if he and Raq each share their current philosophies. Consider this a story to watch.

Floors were being washed, window sills were wiped down and grey lines were being painted on the gym floor Saturday, all in preparation for opening day of Chilliwack’s newest school.
With just three days to go until the first day of school, Stitó:s Lá:lém Totí:lt Elementary Middle School was bustling on Sept. 3.
The new Kindergarten to Grade 8 school is located at the south end of Tyson Road and hugs the Vedder River.
The custodial team with Chilliwack School District #33 was on hand doing a deep clean of all the classrooms as the district’s technology team worked around them setting up teacher workstations on the weekend.
Principal Helen Plummer and vice-principal Jason Kemp were two of many at the school that day helping with preparations. They’ve been with Stitó:s for nine months and five months, respectively, and both said they can’t wait to welcome kids on Sept. 6.
“I can’t wipe the smile off my face,” Kemp said.
“It’s taken a team to develop the school,” he added. “We’ve pulled from all of our experts in the district to ensure that we have the right things in the school for the students.”
They got advice from several school district staff members – including P.E. instructors, the teacher-librarian association and the district co-ordinator for ADST curriculum (applied design, skills, and technologies) – and those experts ordered the best equipment and supplies for Stitó:s.
“It is truly a school that Chilliwack has built,” Plummer added.
Some of the features include furniture that is “flexible and versatile” and can be adjusted accordingly to fit both older and younger kids, Plummer said.
The desks and tables are designed to be able to be moved out of the way – they fold up to stand vertically and some even double as a whiteboard. There are metal stools that attach to the underside of workspaces with giant magnets, so they’re up and off the floor for easy cleaning.
Plummer and Kemp hired a staff of about 60.
“We have a phenomenal staff and I can honestly say I’d have my own children in anybody’s class here,” Plummer said.
They’re using a “collaborative teaming” approach at Stitó:s where two neighbouring classrooms are connected with a soundproof sliding door that can be opened to create one larger learning space. Two teachers will work together to teach both classes combined, or they have the option to focus on just one class.
Outdoor learning is encouraged at the school which stands just steps away from the Vedder River, and every main-floor classroom has a door leading directly to the outside.
The playgrounds are inclusive with a wheelchair accessible merry-go-round, special slides, and panels so kids can learn braille and sign language.
The school district and the City of Chilliwack signed an agreement for a $3.75 million artificial turf field which is still under construction at the school.
RELATED: City and school district sign agreement for $3.75 million turf field
Plummer and Kemp, along with the rest of the staff at Stitó:s will be welcoming kids via a staggered start on Sept. 6. That day, just the Grade 1 to 5 students will be attending. Grade 6s will start the next day, Wednesday, in the morning and then head home at lunchtime. Then in the afternoon, the Grade 7s and 8s will see the school for the first time. Kindergarteners start on Friday, Sept. 9.
There are 580 kids enrolled and the capacity of Stitó:s is 930. The elementary kids are on the main floor while the middle school classrooms are on the second floor.
Since the school isn’t at full capacity, sections of it are off limits to students and others while they are still under construction.
Public tours will be available but not until all construction is complete, Plummer said, which will be sometime after the beginning of October.
Despite the biggest challenge of building supply shortages, construction is on schedule. DGS Construction, the company that’s building the school, has been “the best” to work with, Plummer added.
Planning for the school started five years ago, construction began in October 2019 and a name was decided for the school in April 2020.

It’s pronounced “stee-tahs lah-lem tot-ilt.” Stitó:s means ‘place of crossing’ while Lá:lém Totí:lt directly translates to ‘house of learning.’
The school’s logo, designed by Jason Roberts of Soowahlie, features a bear with a longhouse (a place of learning). The bear has its paws up and open as a welcome and is holding salmon. The fish represents the river – the location of the school, which overlooks the Vedder River.

September could be a rundown month for Bollywood if moviegoers also ditch Brahmastra
mini
July 2022 saw a total box office collection of Rs 270 crore, while August was lukewarm with much lower collections of Rs 142 crore.
The beginning of September brings the holiday season with a few new movies slated for release. The line-up has some big releases like brahmastra, The beast, Vikram Veda and some Tamil and Telugu films. Movie releases have promising odds, but the question is, can they translate to a lot of money?
Analysis of the first two months of the second quarter gives a better idea. July 2022 saw a total box office collection of Rs 270 crore, while August was lukewarm with much lower collections of Rs 142 crore.
July collections missed expectations due to weaker than expected box office performance of some star-studded films like The Return of Villain Ek, Rocket, Shamsheraand Shabaash Mithu – based on the life of retired cricketing icon Mithali Raj. ‘Thor’ was the only outlier with collections exceeding Rs 100 crore.
Film releases in July 2022 (Note: numbers are rounded; source: Bollywood Hungama)
For August 2022, the content pipeline was strong, with big star movies lined up like liger, Raksha Bandhan and Laal Singh Chaddha. The highly anticipated Laal Singh Chaddhastarring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, managed to attract around Rs 50 crore. Raksha Bandhan, featuring Akshay Kumar, failed to cross Rs 50 crore as its lifetime collections. Same liger failed to attract viewers, resulting in it being labeled a flop.
Jinesh Joshi, Media and Entertainment Analyst at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, “Films like Raksha Bandhan and Laal Singh Chaddha were a complete quashing of audience expectations. PVR & Inox will experience a drop in attendance in Q2FY23.”
Film releases in August 2022 (Note: numbers are rounded; source: Bollywood Hungama)
Given the weak content show in July and August 2022, T2FY23 could well be a soft quarter for players in the theatrical exhibition industry, which is already battling for eyeballs with OTT players. What has progressively hurt business are unflattering reviews, particularly on social media, of released films, which deter moviegoers from going to the cinema, and dwindling interest in what are said to be poorly designed Bollywood productions. The success rate of Bollywood films has dropped sharply, from 42% in 2019 to just 7% this year.

Will September bring a sigh of relief to the movie entertainment industry?
A short-term catalyst could be the release of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s highly anticipated film “Brahmastra” on September 9, 2022. Abneesh Roy, Executive Director, Institutional Equities – Edelweiss Securities, says brahmastra advance booking is strong at at least 27,000 tickets.
Film lineup for September with release date
Unless some of the big movies become blockbusters or a few underdogs surprise at the box office, September 2022 shouldn’t sound like a joy for the cinema exhibition industry.
Joshi said, “If brahmastra fails to gain traction, September could be a pretty rundown month.”
This is ultimately a downside risk for film exhibitor stocks. PVR & Inox saw declines of 15% in the last month (as of September 1, 2022), while the Nifty Media index is down 3%, unlike Nifty which rose 1% last month.
A big reversal in the stock performance of film exhibitors is only likely once the box office achieves a turnaround.

How ‘Corn Kid’ Blackmailed Kevin Bacon and Everyone Else About a Vegetable
It’s been a big month or so for corn on the cob. An adorable kid who loves corn has caught the internet’s attention, as has his clear snack of choice.
If you’ve spotted something related to corn mania, here’s some info on where it came from. The “Corn Kid” meme involves a kid named Tariq, whose enthusiastic, short, and sweet interview about corn (and pretty much nothing else) is worth watching if you haven’t already. .
Why is everyone talking (and singing) about corn?
Corn-related content first caught my attention in late August, when I scrolled through my TikTok “For You” page and noticed several videos using the same soundtrack — a catchy song posted by the account TikTok @schmoyoho.
The song is inspired by an interview on Recess Therapy – a web series that asks children questions. In this interview, which debuted earlier in August, host Julian Shapiro-Barnum holds a microphone near a youngster named Tariq, who talks passionately about corn.
“I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing,” says Tariq.
Tariq is missing a tooth and wears a shirt decorated with double-decker bus designs. He grabs a half-eaten ear of corn and takes a bite or two of it during the interview.
Shapiro-Barnum asks him to describe the corn. “A big bump with pimples,” he says. Tariq suggests corn is $1 and wishes viewers a “corntastic” day.
As of this writing, @schmoyoho’s version of the song has over 8 million likes. In the videos using the melody — of which there are more than 400,000 — people are ranking the lyrics, coming out and showing off the Corn Kid tribute art. Even actor and musician Kevin Bacon jumped on the trend by posting an acoustic version of the Corn Kid song that plays quite well.
The Corn Kid is on Cameo, where you can request a video for $220. He was in a Chipotle advertising. He is sometimes called the CEO of corn.
@thechalkingdad I mean look at this thing! 🌽 #cornsong#cornkid#corn#chalkart#chalk @Recess Therapy ♬ It’s corn – Tariq & The Gregory Brothers & Recess Therapy
Who is the Corn Kid?
Although Tariq has talked endlessly about corn, we don’t know much about the kid behind the meme. According to The Atlantic, he has not made any television appearances or interviews.
When he’s not dropping corn-worthy information, he enjoys playing games like tag and hide-and-seek.
“I play a variety of games,” Tariq says on Recess Therapy, “never lava monster.”
How can I watch the original Corn Kid interview?
If you’ve heard the corn song and want to watch Tariq’s interview from early August, it’s on Recess Therapy’s YouTube channel.
A follow-up post provides even more Tariq content.
Corn is once again on the menu.

Bangladesh A Secular Country, We Cherish Religious Harmony: Sheikh Hasina
Dhaka:
Seeking to reassure the predominantly Hindu minorities in her country and the global community at large, Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said her government strongly supports secularism and any attempt to disturb communal harmony is immediately dealt with. .
In an interview with ANI ahead of his visit to India, Sheikh Hasina however claimed that extremism is not limited to his country as many countries including India witness it. She said one of the reasons for the rise in extremism was social media, which had gotten “very, very bad these days”.
“As long as we are in power, we always value that and I always tell them (the minority) that you are our citizens. You should own our country. But sometimes some incidents happen but immediately we act. It’s sometimes, it’s happened, it’s a very undesirable situation but you know very well that it’s not only Bangladesh, even India also sometimes minorities have suffered,” she said. declared.
Attacks and acts of hostility against the minority Hindu population in Bangladesh have been reported. There are reports of attacks on pandals or Durga Puja shrines. Sheikh Hasina, however, said it was important for countries to show magnanimity when asked about incidents of attacks on the minority Hindu population.
“I think the country should show its magnanimity and our part, you know Bangladesh is a secular country and we have many religions here. And religious harmony is here, very good. So one or two incidents when that happens immediately… …especially my party… people in my party, they are very aware of it and also my government. We act immediately,” she said.
Asked to comment on the role of the radical community of bloggers and others on social media, Sheikh Hasina said it is undesirable for people to write things to hurt themselves and added that her government was trying to curb such activity.
“Listen, extremism is everywhere. Even in India or other countries if you see in the world, there are many countries where you can find out. So because of social media, it has become very … very bad these days. Some people sometimes write something. Even sometimes it’s not the bloggers but even another religion or whatever… Sometimes they write and then immediately people come, but we did we try our best to control that. We never support that. Every religion, they have their right to practice their religion properly, and you shouldn’t say one thing that hurts the other religion,” she said.
Last month, responding to incidents of violence in parts of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, addressing the Hindu minority, said they had the same rights as her. She made these comments on the occasion of Janamashtmi. Earlier, there were reports from southwestern Bangladesh that temples, shops and houses of Hindus had been vandalized.
Sheikh Hasina told ANI that although some incidents have occurred, Bangladesh has a tradition where people of all religions participate in all celebrations.
“All of us together we celebrate… As a cultural event, even you can see it in Bangladesh, during Durga Puja. So many places, we have Durga Puja and people all celebrate together. So the religious harmony is there but now a little…here and there incidents are happening but our government is immediately taking action against that,” she said.
Asked about the prevalence of cattle smuggling from India to Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina said the issue was being discussed and the problem had also been significantly reduced.
“But still sometimes incidents happen. So we are talking with India for them to be patient on the issue of cattle trafficking. You already know that nowadays in our country we don’t depend much anymore Indian cow. We raise our own, you know, cattle here because we need them. But there’s smuggling on the border. So both sides, border forces, they sit together. Any incident happens, they hold the flag meetings, they discuss. So yes, we will say the assurance that it will decrease so it should not take place,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina is due to visit India on a key bilateral visit on Monday. Sheikh Hasina’s four-day visit to India is seen in both countries as an opportunity to further strengthen the proven cooperation between the two fastest growing South Asian economies. The Prime Minister of Bangladesh is also expected to discuss defense cooperation and regional stability with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.

Everton fans gave their side a boisterous reception outside Goodison Park ahead of the Merseyside derby against Liverpool.
The Toffees are chasing their first Premier League win of the season – live on talkSPORT – after a difficult start to the campaign.
After narrowly surviving relegation last season, Frank Lampard’s side lost their first two games of the season before a run of three consecutive draws.
However, after the late signings of Neal Maupay and James Garner, there is hope that Everton’s season can come alive against their rivals.
The Goodison Park faithful carried their side over the line by generating incredible atmospheres towards the end of the 2021/22 campaign.
And they created another stunning scene on Merseyside ahead of the Liverpool clash.
Fans lined the streets off the ground and created a sea of blue smoke to greet the team bus.
For Lampard and a number of his players, this is their first experience of a Merseyside derby.
Speaking about the mood before the match, the Toffees boss said: “We are grateful for that.
“As a manager and players, what that gives us…support. Against a team like Liverpool, we will need it for 90 minutes.
“They will have their moments. We have to keep that and the players have to show their version of that on the pitch.

Twins not giving up on Tyler Mahle’s season
CHICAGO — Out since being pulled from an Aug. 17 start, and warmed up with some bullpen sessions and facing live hitters, Tyler Mahle was confident his right shoulder was back in fighting shape.
The Twins were confident, too.
But in his return to the mound on Saturday, the Twins’ big trade deadline acquisition was plagued by the same issues that put him on the injured list on Aug. 20 – weakness, or fatigue, in his right shoulder and a progressive dip in velocity.
This time, Mahle was pulled after throwing 37 pitches in two innings, charged with four earned runs on five hits and tagged with the loss in a 13-0 setback to the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Asked afterward if his shoulder hurt, Mahle said, “No, it’s just some soreness, inflammation. Stuff like that.”
In any case, it appears that whether he goes back on the injured list, won’t make his next start.
“From talking with the trainers, my belief is that he (won’t) throw a baseball for a period of time,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “… I don’t want to discuss the specifics yet because I’d like to allow things to settle down a little bit and for us to hear how he is (on Sunday). But I’m going to go in under the premise that he’s not going to throw for a little while.”
Acquired from Cincinnati for prospects Spencer Steer, Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Steven Hajjar, Mahle was the centerpiece of a three-pitcher deadline haul that included Baltimore closer Jorge Lopez and Detroit late-inning reliever Michael Fulmer – a big, workhorse starter that would solidify the top of the rotation with right-handers Sonny Gray and Joe Ryan.
Instead, he has managed only two full outings, a pair of six-inning starts with a combined 3.00 earned-run average. Until Saturday, the Twins were 3-0 when Mahle started.
“It’s of course disappointing to not have him available, because he’s a wonderful pitcher,” Baldelli said. “We’ve seen him. We’ve seen him throw the ball really well. We know what kind of stuff he has. He’s an extraordinary competitor, and we want him out there every five days pitching for us right now.
“We also know that our success this year will not come – it’s never one guy or two guys or three guys. It’s going to be what we do as a group. People are going to have to come up big and step up and fill roles.”
Aaron Sanchez relieved Mahle and gave up three runs on three hits in five innings. With Mahle likely out for at least a while, and Gray dealing with a hamstring issue, Sanchez will likely be in line to make another start. Rookies Josh Winder (shoulder) and Bailey Ober (groin) are working their way back from injuries, as well.
Mahle spent three weeks on the injured list with a shoulder issue in July but said that was a different issue than the one plaguing him now.
“I think July was like, I felt like I wasn’t able to perform,” he said. “So, I think the last time, it hasn’t felt like that since.”
Instead, Mahle isn’t getting his usual oomph on his stuff. His velocity fell precipitously in his Aug. 17 start, and declined over his two innings on Saturday, as well. Early in the first inning, his four-seam fastball reached 93.7 mph, about his season average, but was down to 87.7 in the second inning. His cutter and splitter velocities dropped, tpo – from 83.9 mph in the first inning to 81.6, and 87.6 mph to 83.2, respectively.
Exactly how the Twins will work to get Mahle back before the regular season ends on Oct. 5 was unclear on Saturday night.
“No one knows the answer to that yet,” Baldelli said. “I’m not closing the book on him, this season, pitching for us. But he’s going to be down for now.”

50% agree student loan forgiveness isn’t fair to those who didn’t go to college
According to a survey of The Economist/YouGov found.

Additionally, an even higher number, 57%, said the plan is unfair to Americans who have already paid off their student loans, but 61% believe it “will still help millions of Americans, especially those in low-income households”. However, Americans don’t really see the move helping the economy, as 44% say it will and 40% say it won’t.
The survey was conducted Aug. 28-30, 2022 among 1,500 adult U.S. citizens and comes as Democrats continue to celebrate Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan as a first step.
Meanwhile, radical leftists, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), have already made it clear that Americans who oppose the Democrats’ radical plan are acting selfishly:

Heat wave: Extreme temperatures and low humidity test North Bay residents, firefighters and charity cyclists
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) — In North Bay, the mercury is rising rapidly. The extreme heat is already testing residents, firefighters and cyclists – some of whom have braved the weather for charity.
On Saturday, Petaluma firefighters responded to a fast-moving grass fire at a ranch on Skillman Lane on a day when temperatures were baking.
“We were lucky today, the wind was blowing out in the open, it was right behind a house,” Dave Cavanaugh said.
Fortunately, firefighters quickly brought the blaze under control, which officials say may have been started by a lawn mower.

But the weeds and brush are drying up day by day. The heat is expected to sizzle this holiday weekend with fire danger ranging from high to extreme.
Santa Rosa Fire Marshal Paul Lowenthal was monitoring severe weather, getting fresh data from a new remote weather station now transmitting real-time weather statistics, Saturday afternoon, which meant high temperatures and low humidity.
“That’s a concern for us. It means there’s a potential if we have a fire it’s more likely to spread quickly with how dry fuels are,” Lowenthal said.
It was a tough day for a bike ride, but 2,000 cyclists were up for it.
It was the Tour De Fuzz, a bike ride that benefits Sonoma County law enforcement chaplain services. This weekend there was additional freezing water for runners and some health warnings.

“Driving in the heat can be dangerous, so we have warned everyone. We also have paramedics on standby and have advised runners to leave early and wear light clothing,” said co-organizer Shaun Ralston.
Some runners have gone 50 or even 100 miles in the heat for charity.
“We made sure to go early before the round. It will be pretty hot,” said Dana Jones.
Cooling centers are now open through Labor Day throughout Sonoma County, including the Finley Community Center in Santa Rosa.
Health officials are urging everyone to be safe and stay cool.

Defensive report card from the Elon game
Here's a look at Vanderbilt's defensive performance from the Elon game
What went right
Vanderbilt made big plays with the game on the line, which I talked about here. The last one at the end kept six points off the board, the turnover gave the offense field position (which it turned into a touchdown) and the other thwarted what could have been a scoring drive.
The defense also started well, allowing next to nothing on five of Elon's first six drives.
What went wrong
And then, there's everything else.
Allowing 495 yards to an unranked FCS team isn't exactly what coach Clark Lea (or anyone) had in mind on Saturday. Quarterback Matthew McKay (333 yards) picked Vanderbilt apart and receivers Jackson Parham and Chandler Brayboy were terrific (and give those three credit, there were times Vanderbilt was in position to make plays and they just made them anyway).
Pass coverage was awful. BJ Anderson had a nightmarish second half and even steady Jaylen Mahoney has seen better nights.
The defensive line wasn't good against the run. Excepting the huge late-game short-yardage situations, Elon's offensive line got some push and it seemed like most carries went for at least 2-3 yards.
Nor did the Commodores generate a pass rush, which exacerbated the back-end issues. Vanderbilt had just one sack (Darren Agu) and three hurries, and Agu's sack came in the first half.
Player of the Game
I'll give it to Anfernee Orji, with an honorable mention to Ethan Barr. Orji seemed to perhaps miss an opportunity or two to make a play but was also in the middle of a lot of the action all night, racking up 13 tackles (five solo) with a hurry and a half-tackle for loss.
Final analysis and grade
There's no sugar-coating this one: Vanderbilt was just bad from about midway in the second quarter on. Penalties, big plays, getting pushed around more than it should have up front, you name it, the group will (and should) hear all about it on film Sunday. All this coming against an FCS team with a new quarterback, too The Commodores should have put this game away earlier, and the defense just didn't do its job.
But there's this: Vanderbilt did make just enough plays when it mattered. And that's why Saturday was a "W" rather than an "L" and why this grade is a "D" instead of an "F." | https://vanderbilt.rivals.com/news/defensive-report-card-from-the-elon-game | 2022-09-04T06:48:19Z | https://vanderbilt.rivals.com/news/defensive-report-card-from-the-elon-game | true | 1 |

SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan had a hilarious reaction to being asked about Ric Flair's last match.
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently wrestled in his last match, which was a tag team bout where Flair and Andrade El Idolo defeated Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal. Flair passed out twice during the bout, leaving fans worried for his well-being.
Liv Morgan recently revealed that she watched Flair's last match. When asked if she enjoyed the match, she responded with awkward silence in a hilarious visual.
Check out the video below:
Ric Flair regretted dubbing the July 31 bout his "last match"
While fellow wrestlers and fans were worried for The Nature Boy's health following his last match, he seemingly didn't share their sentiments.
Flair recently commented on his last match and said that he regretted branding it as such.
"I wish I hadn't said it was my last match. That's gonna get heat. Hell, they wanted me to wrestle in Puerto Rico on Saturday night. I said, 'Guys, I cannot get in the ring one week later.' And the guy looked at me and said, 'Well, you know what, could retire in Puerto Rico can't you?' No, no, no that's not the point."
He also opened up on passing out during the match and Andrade attempting to wake him up:
"Then at that point, along came the guitar, right. Down, bingo. Well, I was down. I passed out again. I just passed out, and [Andrade] is going, 'Sir, you have to wake up. I have the brass knuckles. Sir, you have to wake up.' Then I woke up, I knew where we were, and we're home. But I swear to god, twice during the match, I went completely black," Flair said.
Meanwhile, Liv Morgan recently faced Shayna Baszler to defend her WWE SmackDown Women's Title. She emerged victorious after pinning Baszler with the Oblivion. It remains to be seen what is next for the champion.
It will also be interesting to see whether Ric Flair will enter the ring once again in the near future.

The Group of 7 advanced economies have agreed to impose a price cap on Russian oil, prompting Moscow to threaten to suspend oil exports.
Under the agreement reached by G7 finance ministers, countries that sign up to the policy will only be permitted to purchase Russian oil and petroleum products transported via sea that are sold at or below the price cap.
The bloc has also asked countries around the world to join the move.
In response, Russia said the decision will destabilize the market and threatened to stop selling oil to countries that imposed price caps.
Meanwhile Russia's energy giant Gazprom announced an indefinite shutdown of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline on Friday evening as it was due to resume gas delivery to Germany on Saturday morning. The move came hours after the G7 price cap agreement.
The state-owned oil and gas firm said that supplies would remain halted indefinitely after a leak was detected and the pipeline would not restart until repairs were fully implemented.
Amid the energy crisis affecting Europe, France said it will resume operations of all its nuclear reactors this winter.

Rowan Helping Ministries hopes Miracles on the Horizon can raise $6 million
Published 10:35 pm Saturday, September 3, 2022
By Elizabeth Cook
For the Salisbury Post
Rowan Helping Ministries is stepping up efforts to fight homelessness with an ambitious plan to more than double its transitional and permanent supportive housing and expand other supportive services.
A $6 million capital campaign to fund the endeavor, “Miracles on the Horizon,” will have a public launch on Sept. 21 with a 9:30 a.m. event at the Historic Salisbury Station.
The goal, says Executive Director Kyna Grubb, is to help more people find their pathways home.
“We want to do more than give a man a fish,” Grubb says. “We aren’t really helping people if we aren’t helping them to help themselves.”
Based on North Long Street for 35 years, Rowan Helping Ministries may be best known for its soup kitchen and overnight shelter. It also has long offered crisis assistance, a clothing closet and food pantry.
Transitional housing was added several years ago under then-director Dianne Scott. For those who qualify, the program provides a low-cost place to stay for 18 to 24 months. Participants are required to work, pay a program fee and attend self-improvement programs.
Permanent supportive housing goes beyond that, providing a cost-effective solution to low-income, disabled individuals who need supportive services to live independently. They also are required to work, pay a fee and participate in programs.
Working from a strategic plan, Grubb and her board members have looked forward to growing this part of the ministry. They want to help more people in crisis look beyond the next meal or the next night’s sleep and find lasting ways to improve their lives.
Projects
The capital campaign would fund several projects:
• Eagle’s Nest III, two transitional housing buildings, would add 12 apartments to the 10 units now in Eagle’s Nest I and II. Estimated cost: $1.7 million.
• Five new duplexes would serve as permanent supportive housing for individuals, couples and families in transition. Cost: $1.5 million
• Renovation of the historic R.B. Miller building by the railroad tracks would create offices for case management, counseling and administration, as well as a “Living Room.” Cost: $1.2 million.
• Remodeling of the agency’s Ralph W. Ketner Center would make space for medical and mental health services. Cost: $90,000.
• A maintenance reserve fund would be set aside for major equipment repairs and replacements in the Ralph Ketner and Robertson-Stanback centers. Goal: $1 million
While the estimates total $5.6 million, Grubb says inflation has raised the projected need to $6 million.
The cost would be higher — much higher — if not for partnerships with several other agencies.
Partners
Eagle’s Nest III has multiple partners: the Veterans Administration, Historic Salisbury Foundation and the R.B. Miller Family.
The VA has been running a transitional housing program through the shelter for some time. Now the VA is giving Rowan Helping Ministries $450,000 toward true transitional housing in Eagles Nest III. Nine of the 12 new units will serve vets. (Three of the 10 existing units are now dedicated to veterans.)
Historic Salisbury Foundation and the Miller family are donating land near the railroad tracks for the transitional housing. The Miller property includes two historic buildings that will retain their combined 19th century façade with one building creating office space, while a new structure will house six apartments and space for offices. Architect Gray Stout and contractor Chad Vreisema are working on the project.
First Horizons Neighborhood: First Horizons Bank stepped up with $200,000 in seed money for the new duplexes to create the “First Horizons Neighborhood” on East Council Street. First Horizons is also providing a $2 million loan. Pete Bogle is the architect for this permanent supportive housing.
Ketner Building: Renovations will take place at the North Long Street building that first housed Rowan Helping Ministries, the structure bearing the name of the late Ralph W. Ketner, a Food Lion co-founder and philanthropist.
Grubb and other administrative staff would move out of the building to make way for Cabarrus-Rowan Community Health Centers (CRCHC) to operate a mental health and medical clinic 40 hours a week.
Rowan Helping Ministries has long seen a need for these services but cannot deliver them directly itself.
“We try to stay in our lane,” Grubb says.
At the moment, CRCHC offers medical and mental health services on site two days a week. This renovation will help to expand service hours and assist more clients. Once health services open on the Rowan Helping Ministries complex, Grubb says, staff members can walk clients to the facility.
Living Room: S&H Youth and Adult Services will operate the Peer Support Living Room in the Miller Building. In this space, clients could meet with peer support specialists as soon as possible in a comfortable, calm environment to de-escalate mental health crises, avoid hospitalization and stay in a stable housing situation.
Another Miracle
Rowan Helping Ministries’ strategic plan drives this project. Devised with 2019-21 in mind and extended because of COVID, the plan covers everything from “Increase emphasis on solving core issues faced by clients” to “Ensure ability to grow programs and services around educating and empowering clients.”
In 2014, the agency dedicated its newest building, the 20,000-square-foot Robertson-Stanback Center on North Long Street, across from the original shelter. The building houses Jeannie’s Kitchen and a bigger overnight shelter. That was the result of a $5.8 million fundraising effort called the Miracle on Long Street.
“Expanding to the shelter across the street addressed the growing needs for homelessness outside of the men’s shelter we were originally built to be,” Grubb says. “We had more women, and then we started seeing a lot of families.”
Families with children now make up about 30% of the nation’s homeless population, according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Getting them into a home can be complicated.
“We have this great homeless shelter that has a lot of resources around it to help people move to housing,” Grubb says, “but that pathway to housing is unique to each individual.”
People who are not ready for housing are not successful in it, she says. Readiness includes the ability to pay, having basic housekeeping skills, being able to maintain a home, having wraparound services for health needs and — perhaps toughest of all — finding a place that is affordable.
That said, Rowan Helping Ministries could fill its transitional and permanent housing units many times over. Grubb recalls the time they had 19 families that qualified for permanent supportive housing, and across a five-county area only two were placed all year.
But those who are placed get results that are worth the wait.
Grubb remembers the woman who was seeking assistance for herself and her disabled child. She moved into permanent supportive housing and could not even save up $7 the first week. Yet within a few years she was able to get her own home.
“The goal is to help people stabilize and move on,” Grubb says. | https://www.salisburypost.com/2022/09/03/rowan-helping-ministries-hopes-miracles-on-the-horizon-can-raise-6-million/ | 2022-09-04T07:23:18Z | https://www.salisburypost.com/2022/09/03/rowan-helping-ministries-hopes-miracles-on-the-horizon-can-raise-6-million/ | true | 1 |

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — Back in the day, Chip Simmons and Hassan Hills had something of a professional acquaintanceship.
Simmons was a young police officer and Hills was a teenage drug dealer. The way they saw it, they each had a job to do, and over the years, their trades caused them to cross paths several times.
Simmons either investigated or arrested Hills on multiple occasions and was part of the federal narcotics task force that helped put Hills in prison on charges related to conspiring to possess powdered cocaine and crack cocaine and close to 200 pounds of marijuana.
But when Hills was released from federal custody last year, Simmons was one of the first people he called. And Simmons, now the Escambia County sheriff, did more than just answer the call.
Simmons agreed to help Hills achieve his new calling — to strengthen the communities he had harmed by distributing drugs as a young man.
Less than two years after leaving federal custody, Hills has founded the new Pensacola-based nonprofit Youths Left Behind Corp., aimed at providing mentorship and guidance to children with incarcerated parents.
“He feels like he owes the community a debt, and he has set out to repay that debt,” Simmons said. “I’m glad to be able to help him in any way that I can, and I’m just super proud of him.”

Hills, 42, knows firsthand what it is to have an absentee parent. His mom suffered from addiction at the height of the 1980s crack epidemic when she and her children were still living in Camden, New Jersey. When she was arrested, Hills and his siblings were nearly separated from each other by the state.
But Hills’ mom was eventually released from prison into New Jersey’s Intensive Supervision Program and moved her family to Pensacola in 1992 for a fresh start.
She had a hard time finding work in Florida with her criminal record, forcing her and her children to live off $364 of welfare per month.
“Unfortunately due to our financial situation, I started selling crack,” Hills said.
Hills said he sold his first crack rock on the corner of A and Jackson streets in Pensacola at the age of 14.
“I had to do what I had to do in order to put food on the table and provide for me and my family,” he said. “What started off as just something to provide for my family led to a heart of greed, and I got addicted. ... What most people don’t understand is that it’s an addiction. The money, the fame, the adrenaline that you get, it’s an addiction.”
It was around that time that he first met the future sheriff.
Simmons began his decades-long career as a Pensacola police officer before a series of promotions ended in him being named the city’s chief of police and later being elected sheriff of Escambia County in 2020.
Hills and Simmons crossed paths when they were both out on the street. Sometimes Simmons was there to make an arrest, sometimes not.
“We had a lot of conversations. You have to understand, there were many times that we would interact when he wasn’t arrested,” Simmons said. “We stopped, and we talked to them. We kind of knew what he was up to, and they knew that we were doing our job. As long as you don’t mistreat people and you do the job for the right reason, then I think there’s a level of respect there, at least.”
Hills’ first juvenile case was for sale and delivery, a felony offense he picked up from selling crack to a confidential informant.
“I got arrested, sent to jail, got back out, got caught with some more crack, went back to jail,” Hills said.
Hills also climbed the ranks quickly, and at age 17, he was dealing in large quantities of narcotics coming in from out of town.
“By the time I was 20 years old, I was hit with a federal indictment,” he said.
A federal motion filed by Hills’ defense attorney, Randall Lockhart, stated, “At sentencing the Court found that Mr. Hills was responsible for 20.25 kilograms of powder cocaine and 196 pounds of marijuana; the powder cocaine was converted to crack cocaine using a ‘multiplier,’ because it was the ‘practice’ of the co-defendants in the conspiracy ‘to sell cocaine base,’ and this resulted in Mr. Hills being held responsible for 16.2 kilograms of crack cocaine and 88.90 kilograms of marijuana.”
Hills was found guilty and had two prior felonies. Due to a federal enhancement code, Hills was sentenced to life in prison Dec. 19, 2001.
‘Matured’ from old behaviors
Twenty years later, Simmons recognized the name when an aide told him there was a phone call from one “Hassan Hills.”
“I recognize the name because, again, he was a pretty big target for us back in the day,” Simmons said, adding he took the call because “I never really thought that he would be angry or violent ... and I was curious as to what he wanted.”
Hills never thought he would get out of prison. But he caught a break with what seemed to him like a series of incredibly “fortunate” events.
First, federal sentencing measures changed between 2001 and 2021, removing the type of mandated life sentence Hills originally received for having three nonviolent, drug-related felony convictions.
Then Hills was named as one of the 330 people former President Barak Obama commuted on his last day in the White House, which reduced his sentence from life in prison to 30 years in prison with credit for time served.
And when former President Donald Trump in 2019 signed revised provisions within the Fair Sentencing Act into law, Hills had the opportunity to apply for the benefits. He did, and his motion for an earlier release was granted.
In an order for release, Senior U.S. District Judge Lacey A. Collier noted that although Hills’ disciplinary record in prison showed “several infractions,” his record had been clean since 2013, suggesting that “he has matured away from the sort of behavior that landed him in prison.”
Hills was released Feb. 5, 2021.
“Out of all of the thousands of people in federal prison, I made it out and I always told myself that if I ever got out, I will come back to the communities that I once destroyed and try to build them from within by working with our young people,” Hills said.
Hills had big ideas about how he wanted to mentor young people but knew he needed guidance on how to accomplish it.
“When I found out that (Simmons) had made sheriff, I had just came home,” Hills said. “I was saying to myself, ‘Well, this is what I want to do.’ Then I wondered if Sheriff Chip Simmons would talk to me?”
Simmons invited Hills to his office and after listening to the recent releasee about his goals, the sheriff said, “Hassan Hills, I believe in you.”
It meant a lot to Hills.
“A person of my background, of what I’ve been through, doesn’t really stand a chance — a convicted felon, been in the prisons, drug dealer, served 20 years,” Hills later recalled. “To get out and to hear that from somebody we put in office — that they ‘believed in me’ — that’s all I needed to know that I can make a difference within the city of Pensacola, within the state of Florida, within the United States. Those four words, they motivated me to move. This is why I’m where I’m at now.”
Putting in the work
Speaking to him these days, there’s no sign of Hills’ troubled past, just determination and sincerity as he discusses what he wants for the youth of Pensacola.
The federal government had pronounced him rehabilitated, and Hills believes he’s reformed himself into a better man than the person he was as an adolescent.
After speaking with Simmons, Hills began volunteering at AMIkids Pensacola – Escambia Boys Base, a moderate-risk residential halfway house at Corry Station that provides young men mental health services, vocational and academic training and mentoring.
“I myself was in the juvenile facility growing up, and when I went there, I saw the eyes of the children, the need for some mentorship,” Hills said.
He started a “mentorship session” at the organization that takes place every Sunday from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
The sessions are meant to be a relaxed setting in which Hills can tell the boys about his own experiences and help them to consider topics such as where they’d like to be in three to five years.
“Most people don’t realize that they live right now solely based on decisions they made three to five years ago,” Hills said.
The group also discusses issues like peer pressure.
“And then, we talk about what they have learned from their past mistakes,” Hills said.
The sessions are completely voluntary. Only eight boys attended when Hills first started. The sessions now regularly draw more than 20 boys.
Once a month, Hills spends an entire Saturday in DeFuniak Springs speaking with the teenagers in custody at the Academy of Growth and Development, a facility that houses a secure residential treatment program.
Hill said he mentors 15 boys “from the inner city,” unassociated with either of the Department of Juvenile Justice facilities, on weekly basis. Last week, he drove two of them to the Escambia County Tax Collector’s Office to get their first driver’s licenses.
Hills refers to his mentoring curriculum and teaching style as one that continues develop “peer group empowerment.”
“Our objective at Youths Left Behind is to aid and assist youth who’ve been affected by a parent, guardian or loved one caught up in the system of mass incarceration, drug addiction and to provide comprehensive mentorship,” Hills said.
His ultimate aim is to afford a brick-and-mortar location for his nonprofit that will be located close to the low-income neighborhoods where he once dealt drugs to provide walkable or bikeable access for kids who live there now.
Eventually, he hopes to enter into negotiations with state and federal agencies and set up computers in the nonprofit’s space where children can use Skype or Zoom to speak to their incarcerated parents.
“Anytime you separate a child from their parents for long periods of time, whether it’s the parents’ wrongdoing or whatever, it has a mental effect,” Hills said.
Recently, Hills has started to attend and bring some of his mentees to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office for the Sheriff’s Blazer Academy, where both Hills and Simmons spoke before a small crowd of attendees together.
“People really listen whenever he speaks,” Simmons said.
Simmons and Hills have additionally spoken together at the Boys Base.
It’s something of a professional acquaintanceship, only now both men have a similar job: working to make the community better and safer.
“If you’d have told me 20-something years ago that we’d be sharing a stage together, talking about the evils of drug trafficking, I would’ve said, ‘You’re crazy,’” Simmons said. | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Former-drug-dealer-builds-up-communities-17418501.php | 2022-09-04T07:31:43Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Former-drug-dealer-builds-up-communities-17418501.php | false | 13 |

Oliver Mawuse Barker-Vormawor, one of the conveners of #FixTheCountry Movement, has chastised Prof Steve Hanke, a Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University, for claiming that the only option to fix Ghana's economic mess is for the central bank to install a currency board.
Describing the 79-year-old Professor as "silly", Barker-Vormawor is of the view that a currency board is not the solution to Ghana's currency and inflation problems.
He is of the view that Prof Hanke does not know the people who will be put on the currency board that he is proposing. He, therefore, advised the Professor not to come and create more jobs for hungry men.
"Prof Steve Hanke keeps talking of a currency board, as if it’s the solution to our currency and inflation problems.
"Hahaha. Silly white man. Does he know the people we will put on the Board?" Oliver Barker-Vormawor quizzed.
"Abeg. Sit somewhere. Don’t come and create more jobs for hungry men. Shalom," he concluded in his September 2, Facebook post.
Prof Steve Hanke has for some time now been commenting on Ghana's economic crisis which has propelled the country to seek a bailout from the IMF.
In his constant monitoring of Ghana’s economic situation on his #EconWatch, the Applied Economics Professor concluded that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led government is mismanaging the economy, has Ghana's current economic downturn.
In one of his tweets, Prof Hanke stated that Ghanaians are shutting down businesses in protest of the 42.3% Ghana Cedi depreciation to the US Dollar.
He asked when will Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will learn, because the current currency depreciation required the installation of a “currency board.”
“Since Jan 1, 2020, the Ghana’s #cedi has depreciated by a stunning 42.3% against the USD. Now, Ghanaians are shutting businesses down in protest.
“When will Pres. Akufo-Addo learn? Ghana MUST mothball its central bank & install a currency board!” Prof Steve Hanke’s tweet said.

He ranked Ghana 6th on his inflation dashboard because the country’s inflation has risen two times the official inflation rate by the Statistical Service of 32%.
“Ghana is in 6th place in this week's inflation table. On August 18, I measured Ghana's #inflation at a stunning 77%/yr-more than 2x the official inflation rate of 32%/yr. To put an end to its economic death spiral, GHA must install the Central Bank and install a #CurrencyBoard,” Prof Hanke added.

Behold the ‘real baba’ at this new Overland Park restaurant
Baba ganoush is made from roasted eggplant, but it tends to be creamy and beige. The “real baba’’ at Hummus and Pita (8039 Santa Fe Drive, Overland Park) is a different beast altogether. It’s darker and chunkier, but it retains some of the purple fruit’s original form after being smoked, mashed and blended with pomegranate sauce, lemon, olive oil, walnuts and tomatoes. What’s different? “I made it,” says Dhiaa Eid, a Palestinian raised in Jordan who owns and operates this bustling Middle Eastern spot in the former Snack Shack. Gyros and shawarma are served up alongside an earthy and rich avocado shake, a specialty of Jordan, and chicken tikka that’s brightened with a creamy yellow sauce. Everything other than the pita is scratch-made, which Eid says is uncommon in American Middle Eastern restaurants. The flavors at Hummus and Pita are big and—judging by the early crowds—very much appreciated.

But she ended up running 400m (1,312 ft) instead.
Her mum Dawn said: "Edie kept asking if she could do a race but didn't want to do the children's one.
"She assumed she was doing the whole lap that she'd seen athletes doing.
"I was just like 'Where is she going?'"
Edie, who her family have nicknamed Speedy Edie, said: "I've never had such a big round of applause before. I loved it."
