Russia temporarily stops gas flow through Nord Stream 1
BERLIN — (AP) — Russia's Gazprom stopped the flow of natural gas through a major pipeline from Russia to Europe early Wednesday, a temporary move to it announced in advance.
The Russian state-controlled energy giant said earlier this month that it would the cut the flow of gas through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline until Saturday for what it says is a three-day pause for routine maintenance at a compressor station.
According to Gazprom, the only remaining turbine, which is located at the Portovaya compressor station, needs maintenance. The head of Germany's Federal Network Agency, Klaus Mueller, has said that the maintenance work is technically incomprehensible and he considers it a way of punishing Germany for siding with Ukraine since the Russian invasion.
Gazprom has repeatedly reduced the flow of gas through Nord Stream 1 claiming technical issues such as equipment repairs. Germany calls these cuts a political move to sow uncertainty and push up prices amid the war in Ukraine.
Russia has also reduced the flow of gas to other European countries which have sided with Ukraine in the war.
Russia recently has accounted for about a third of Germany’s gas supplies. The government said last week that the drop in gas flows confirmed that Germany can’t rely on Russian deliveries, announcing that it would step up its gas storage requirements and take further measures to conserve supplies.

McLaughlin wins in Portland as Will Power widens title lead
By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Scott McLaughlin led a Team Penske rout at Portland International Raceway by scoring his third victory of the season in a 1-2 finish that moved Will Power one race closer to the IndyCar championship.
McLaughlin led 104 of the 110 laps Sunday to pick up his third victory of the season. He trails only Penske teammate Josef Newgarden (five) in most series wins, but an inconsistent season has the New Zealander clinging to any title chances.
McLaughlin goes to next Sunday’s season finale at Laguna Seca in California ranked fifth in the standings, 41 points behind Power but still mathematically in the hunt.
“We did exactly what we needed to do this weekend which was win and get maximum points,” McLaughlin said. “We need to keep ourselves in it and we’re a long shot, but we’ve got a shot.”
Power, meanwhile, had a relatively easy drive but never enough to challenge McLaughlin for the win. In settling for second, he takes a 20 point lead into the finale over both Newgarden and six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon.
“We’re in the best position, we’ve got the best shot, we’ll do the best we can,” Power said.
Dixon finished third but gained no ground in the title fight; Newgarden dropped from fourth on the restart with 22 laps remaining to finish eighth and lose 17 points to Power in the Penske championship battle.
“We’re still in the fight,” said Dixon, who started 16th. “We need to stop getting these most improved of the race awards.”
Newgarden lamented his late tire choice, which left him a sitting duck over the final stint.
“At this point, it just kind of is what it is. I’m going to go try to win that race and go for broke,” Newgarden said. “I don’t know how Laguna is going to play, but we’re going to go to play and see what happens.”
The three Penske entries were the class of the field in Portland, where the team used its final test of the season to prepare for Sunday. The trio was fast in every session and had a clear advantage over Chip Ganassi Racing, which chose to use its final test at Laguna Seca in anticipation of the finale.
Ganassi had Dixon, Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson and reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou in the title hunt, but only Palou had a decent qualifying effort. Dixon and Ericsson failed to advance out of the first qualifying group, and Ericsson rallied only to 11th. The Swede is 39 points behind Power, fourth in the standings.
Although Palou finished 12th and Pato O’Ward were fourth, both were eliminated from title contention.
“Didn’t have enough for the Penske boys. They dominated everyone, not just us,” O’Ward said.
UP NEXT
IndyCar settles its championship with next Sunday’s finale at Laguna Seca Raceway in California. Herta is the two-time defending race winner.

Canada Defeats USA to Win Gold at Women's Hockey World Championship
September 4, 2022Canada has had Team USA's number all year in women's hockey, and that didn't change in Sunday's IIHF Women's World Championship final.
Backed by a tremendous performance in goal by Ann-Renee Desbiens and a two-goal game by Brianne Jenner, Canada defeated the United States 2-1 to capture the gold medal.

Jenner, who was named MVP of the Winter Olympics, opened the scoring midway through the second period with a shot that slipped past American goaltender Nicole Hensley, who appeared a bit off balance in the crease.

Jenner notched her second of the night, on the power play, with a shot that beat Hensley on the far side to give Canada a 2-0 lead.

The Americans struck back just before the end of the second period when Amanda Kessel set up Abby Roque for a cross-crease goal, cutting Canada's lead in half and giving the United States some hope entering the third period.
With a secondary assist on Roque's goal, Kendall Coyne Schofield became Team USA's all-time assists leader at women's worlds, breaking the record Brianna Decker set at last year's tournament.

However, it was too little, too late as Desbiens was simply too tough for the Americans to beat in the Canadian crease. She stopped 20 of 21 shots in a stellar outing.
This marks the third time the Canadian women's hockey team has taken home a gold medal over the last year. It won the 2021 world championship with a 3-2 overtime victory over the United States and also defeated the Americans 3-2 in the gold-medal game in February's Beijing Olympics.
The United States entered Sunday's final having not lost a game in this year's world championship, including a 5-2 win over Canada in the preliminary round.
The two teams will meet again in the 2022-23 rivalry series on Sunday, Nov. 20, at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. Additional games in the series have yet to be announced. | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10047688-canada-defeats-usa-to-win-gold-at-womens-hockey-world-championship | 2022-09-04T23:06:27Z | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10047688-canada-defeats-usa-to-win-gold-at-womens-hockey-world-championship | false | 1 |

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Standing in the tunnel and waiting to run into the raucous Swamp for the first time, Florida coach Billy Napier turned to an assistant and summed up the moment.
“Can you believe they pay us to do this?” he said.
It seemed like money well spent after the Gators delivered their biggest season-opening victory in more than 50 years.
Anthony Richardson ran for three scores in his second career start, including a 2-yard scamper with 1:25 remaining, and Florida upset seventh-ranked Utah 29-26 on Saturday night to get the Napier era off to a rousing start.
Richardson was the best player on the field most of the night. He really showed up down the stretch, although fifth-year linebacker Amari Burney was the one who sealed the victory for the rebuilding Gators. Burney intercepted Cam Rising’s second-down pass into the end zone with 17 seconds remaining.
“Someone had to make a play, It happened to be me,” Burney said.
That set off a wild celebration for many of the 90,799 in attendance — the 10th most at home in school history. Richardson took a knee from there, and the Gators rushed the field to revel in their 33rd consecutive victory in home season openers. That’s the longest current streak in the nation.
“This group’s got a lot of fight in them,” said Napier, who replaced fired coach Dan Mullen in November. “They’ve got a little bit different edge to them.”
Richardson ran 11 times for 106 yards and was never stopped for a loss. He completed 17 of 24 passes for 168 yards and played turnover-free football.
“He’s going to get his (NFL payday),” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. “He’s 6-4, 230 and runs like a 4.3. He’s a terrific player.”
Richardson’s best play? He had an electrifying 2-point conversion early in the fourth quarter that put the Gators up 22-19. He juked former Florida teammate Mohamoud Diabate with a pump fake and then sprinted right by fellow Utah linebacker Lander Barton before throwing a strike to Ja’Quavion Fraziers in the back of the end zone.
Utah answered and briefly took the lead, but Richardson responded. He moved the chains with a third-down throw and again with a fourth-down run, both of which set up his game winner.
“Just trying to make something happen. Glad it worked,” Richardson said.
Rising moved the Utes in position to steal one on the road for a team that entered the season with its highest preseason ranking in school history. But Rising’s last pass was his most important — or costly — of the night.
“It wasn’t Cam’s best throw,” Whittingham said. “I’m sure he’d like that back, but he played great.”
Rising completed 22 of 32 passes for 216 yards, with a touchdown and the turnover. He also ran for 91 more.
Tavion Thomas had 115 yards rushing and a score for Utah, which caught a break when it rained about two hours before kickoff and erased whatever advantage Florida had with sweltering summer heat and humidity.
GAME CHANGERS
The difference was Florida’s success and Utah’s failure in the red zone. The Gators scored touchdowns on all three trips into the 20-yard line. The Utes had the late turnover and were stuffed on consecutive downs at the goal line to open the third quarter.
Utah also settled for two first-half field goals, one from 43 yards and another from 31.
THE TAKEAWAY
Utah: The defending Pac-12 champions showed resiliency on the road, battling back to take the lead in the fourth quarter. Despite the loss, the Utes have enough talent and experience to be a factor in the chase for the College Football Playoff.
Florida: The Gators don’t look like they’ll in rebuilding mode for long. Napier’s recruiting has jumped in the last two months and a game like this could do wonders to help him close the gap on Southeastern Conference heavyweights Alabama and Georgia.
“There’s a lot of good energy in the locker room right now,” Richardson said.
MILLION DOLLAR HANDSHAKE
Napier showed a bit of modern-day coaching nuance in the first half when he left his team during a timeout to offer millionaire booster Hugh Hathcock a handshake and a partial hug. Hathcock is one of the program’s top donors.
Hathcock, who owns Velocity Automotive Solutions, gave the University Athletic Association a $12.6 million gift in April. Some of the money will be used to renovate Florida’s aging basketball practice facility and some is sure to help the football program. The Gators plan to name a suite tower at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and its basketball complex after Hathcock.
UP NEXT
Utah: hosts Southern Utah next Saturday. The in-state teams played once previously, with the Utes winning 24-0 in 2016.
Florida: continues its tough opening stretch when it hosts No. 20 Kentucky to being SEC play next Saturday night.

Eliza Fletcher abduction: Police search near Memphis home where suspect was seen washing clothes, cleaning car
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis police set up a mobile command center and were searching an area on Sunday near a home where Cleotha Abston, a 38-year-old man suspected of kidnapping Eliza Fletcher, could be seen washing clothes and cleaning the interior of his vehicle on Friday following the alleged abduction. Police have not confirmed that Sunday's search is connected to the violent abduction of the billionaire heiress.
Surveillance video reviewed by police shows a man forcing Fletcher, a 34-year-old mother of two and kindergarten teacher, into a GMC Terrain as she was out for a morning run on Friday near the University of Memphis campus. The video also shows Fletcher fighting back against her abductor.
Police said they located that GMC terrain at Abston's residence on Saturday and took him into custody after he attempted to flee.
Two witnesses told police that they saw Abston "acting very strange" and "behaving oddly" as he washed his clothes in a sink and cleaned the interior of the GMC Terrain at his brother's home near Pine Hill Community Center, according to an affidavit.
Police wrote that it was "probable and apparent" that Fletcher's injuries "left evidence, e.g., blood, in the vehicle that the Defendant cleaned."
ELIZA FLETCHER'S ABDUCTION: TIMELINE OF THE MEMPHIS TEACHER'S DISAPPEARANCE
The Memphis Police Department and Shelby County Sheriff's Office used ATVs, K-9s and horses as they scoured a park near that community center on Sunday.
After Abston was taken into custody, he "declined to provide investigators with the location of the victim," according to the affidavit. He was charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence.
ELIZA FLETCHER INVESTIGATION: URGENT CALL TO PRAYER REQUESTED AS TEACHER REMAINS MISSING
Police originally identified Abston as a suspect because he allegedly left a pair of sandals behind at the scene of the abduction.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed that Abston's DNA was found on the sandals and surveillance video showed him wearing them the day before the kidnapping.
More than two decades ago, Abston was charged with aggravated robbery and kidnapping for forcing prominent Memphis attorney Kemper Durand into the trunk of his car in May 2000.
Fletcher's grandfather was billionaire Joseph Orgill III, founder of Memphis-based Orgill Hardware, which now has more than 11,000 retail stores throughout the United States.
Anyone with information about the Fletcher's disappearance can call Crime Stoppers at 901-528-CASH (2274). | https://news.yahoo.com/eliza-fletcher-abduction-police-search-204146908.html | 2022-09-04T23:21:00Z | https://news.yahoo.com/eliza-fletcher-abduction-police-search-204146908.html | false | 4 |
The 2005-06 season was a struggle for the Los Angeles Lakers, as they had to make do with a subpar roster.
They hovered around .500 for just about the entire season, and heading into early March, they were in danger of missing the playoffs for the second straight season.
On March 4, they hosted the Detroit Pistons, a team that had defeated them two years prior in the NBA Finals and postponed their budding dynasty. Detroit had a gaudy 48-10 record and looked like the superior team by far.
Luckily, Kobe Bryant brought his A game that night.
He scored 40 points on 13-of-26 shooting, and he helped the Lakers overcome a third-quarter deficit to win, 105-94.
Before long, Los Angeles would win 11 of its final 14 games of the season, sending it to the playoffs with momentum and starting its revival after the Shaquille O’Neal trade in 2004. | https://lebronwire.usatoday.com/2022/09/04/kobe-bryants-top-100-games-no-79/ | 2022-09-04T23:29:35Z | https://lebronwire.usatoday.com/2022/09/04/kobe-bryants-top-100-games-no-79/ | true | 1 |

Kate Plus Who? See Kate Gosselin’s Dating History: From Jon Gosselin to Jeff Prescott
Kate Gosselin is known for her highly publicized romance with Jon Gosselin but who else has the Philadelphia native dated in the past? Keep reading to find out everything we know about Kate’s dating history.
The mother of eight first rose to fame after the duo’s hit reality TV show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, premiered in 2007. The TLC series documented the then-couple as they raised a set of twins and a set of sextuplets. However, more than a decade later, the former married couple found themselves legally divorced and in a heated custody battle for their younger children.
Following their 2009 split, Kate dated millionaire entrepreneur Jeff Prescott in 2015. “Jeff and Kate have known each other for over a year,” a source told Us Weekly of the couple in January 2015, who had just recently started dating at the time. “They like each other.”
“Jeff is a really, really good guy,” another insider told the publication of the divorced dad of three, who is COO and co-founder of Dreamstine, a microstock photography agency. “He is very respectful of Kate and her family.”
While the pair were previously spotted in her native of Pennsylvania that summer packing on major PDA, Entertainment Tonight revealed the new couple had ended their fling by September.
The publication also reported that after months of preparation, Jeff canceled production plans for Kate’s spinoff, Kate Plus 8, just two days before the planned shoot. Citing cold feet, his team advised against the increased exposure, and he ultimately did not film with Kate.
Since her reality TV run, Kate has opted to stay out of the spotlight. The TLC personality and four of her children — Aaden, Joel, Alexis and Leah — have since relocated from their home in Pennsylvania to Troutman, North Carolina, due to financial “issues,” a source told In Touch in February 2022. Her other children, Collin and Hannah, reside with their dad and will remain with him in Pennsylvania.
The single mom acknowledged that she’ll soon have an empty nest and admitted she does have dating on the brain.
“As we’re talking about Mady and Cara going off to college which is becoming more and more of a reality, it’s gonna happen, it almost became like a worry for them, too, like ‘Mommy, you’re gonna be all alone soon,’” Kate told People in April 2018. “But it was very apparent, now that they’re older and talking about dating and how they’re all gonna get married someday … it became apparent: they want someone for me. They want me to have somebody in my life.”

Chadwick Boseman won a posthumous Emmy Award on Saturday, receiving the honor for his voiceover work in Marvel’s “What If...?” cartoon on Disney+.
The “Black Panther” actor, who died in August 2020, had reprised his iconic role as T’Challa, aka Black Panther, for several episodes of the animated anthology series, which premiered almost exactly a year after his death. On Saturday, Boseman, a first-time Emmy nominee, was awarded the honor for Outstanding Character Voice-over Performance.
During this weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys ceremony, Boseman’s widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, accepted the award on her husband’s behalf at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater, per The Hollywood Reporter.
In her acceptance speech, Ledward alluded to the theme of “What If,” which explores alternative realities and different fates for various Marvel characters, including Boseman’s.
“What a beautifully aligned moment it really is that one of the last things he would work on would not only be revisiting a character that was so important to him and his career and to the world, but also that it be an exploration of something new, diving into a new potential future — particularly with everything he spoke about purpose and finding the reason that you are here on the planet on this very time,” Ledward said of her late husband.
“You can’t understand your purpose unless you’re willing to ask ‘What if’ ― unless you’re willing to say, ‘What if the universe is conspiring in my favor? What if it’s me?’” she said. “Thank you so much for the honor. Chad would be so honored, and I’m honored on his behalf.”
Boseman, who died of colon cancer at age 43, was also renowned for his roles in films like “42,” “Get on Up,” “Da 5 Bloods” and “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” for which he received a posthumous Oscar nomination.
His fellow nominees in the Emmy category included F. Murray Abraham (“Moon Knight”), Julie Andrews (“Bridgerton”), Maya Rudolph (“Big Mouth”), Stanley Tucci (“Central Park”), Jessica Walter (“Archer”) and Jeffrey Wright (“What If…?”).
The actor made a lasting impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther,” receiving acclaim for his performance as the king of Wakanda. At the 2019 Academy Awards, Coogler’s blockbuster became the first superhero film ever to be nominated for Best Picture.
The “Black Panther” sequel, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” is slated to hit the big screen in November.
“What If...?” is set to return for a second season in early 2023 on Disney+, the company announced at San Diego Comic-Con in July. | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chadwick-boseman-posthumous-emmy-award_n_6314f177e4b0eac9f4cdc34a | 2022-09-04T23:37:09Z | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chadwick-boseman-posthumous-emmy-award_n_6314f177e4b0eac9f4cdc34a | false | 2 |

When Chicago Bears rookies convened for their first minicamp in May, their introduction to franchise history came from one of the team’s most prolific creators of takeaways.
In Charles Tillman’s speech to the newcomers and later in private conversations, he offered advice on how to be a professional, on the way players must change their work and attitudes going from college to the NFL and on what a good football team means to Chicago.
And he also relayed this bit of wisdom, which he came to understand during 12 years with the Bears while totaling a franchise-record 42 forced fumbles along with 36 interceptions, ranked third in team history.
“This ball is worth a lot of money,” Tillman recalled in a conversation with the Tribune. “There are 22 people on the field and there’s one football. And if you can somehow make this football come out of the other guy’s hand or you can get this football a lot, it will make you rich.
“And it will win you a lot of games. More importantly, it will get you the respect around the league for the kind of player you are.”
As Bears coaches have revealed the defensive identity they are trying to create and players have talked about the fanaticism with which they are expected to go after the ball, Tillman’s visit to Halas Hall seemed like the perfect choice for coach Matt Eberflus to set a tone.
Tillman was part of a Bears defense that ranked in the top 10 in takeaways in seven of Lovie Smith’s nine seasons. Under Eberflus’ mentor Rod Marinelli as defensive coordinator in 2012, Tillman put together an All-Pro season that included 10 forced fumbles and three pick-sixes as the Bears led the NFL with 44 takeaways.
And Tillman, nicknamed “Peanut” at birth, is the namesake of the “Peanut Punch,” the technique to force a fumble that still is referenced weekly around the NFL.
“The turnover is named after him, so to know how much of what he did is so popular and so famous, it puts a little bit on you,” Bears rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon said. “You want to add those tools to your box and do whatever you can do to get those turnovers.
“It’s really built into our whole culture, just being fanatical about getting the ball out and punching all the time and being consistent and finding ways to create turnovers.”
Eberflus and defensive coordinator Alan Williams have brought to the Bears their HITS principle, with similarities to Smith’s philosophies, that last season helped the Indianapolis Colts defense total 33 takeaways, second in the NFL.
Can the Bears return to the tradition of being a takeaway machine? Tillman had some thoughts about what it takes, starting with his famous punch.
‘Second nature’
In the Halas Hall cafeteria after Tillman’s speech, eager seventh-round pick Elijah Hicks tracked down Tillman chatting with Eberflus and sought pointers.
It was a thrill for the rookie safety.
“That’s the OG right there,” Hicks said, noting he has watched clips of Tillman’s signature move since he was in high school, though it was gaining steam long before that.
Tillman doesn’t know where the name came from. He imagines an editor somewhere suggesting “The Peanut Punch” and exclaiming, “Run with it! Print!”
The origin of the move, though, is one Tillman has told several times.
In a 1999 game against Wofford, Tillman, a Louisiana-Lafayette cornerback, had 20 tackles while playing in front of his former high school coach, Rodney Southern. When they met after the game, Southern told him, “Man, if you would have just swatted the ball, you would have had five or six fumbles.”
“It was kind of like a light bulb that went off,” Tillman said.
The following season, Tillman knew he was faster than most of the opposing players and purposely took bad pursuit angles on tackles so he could punch the ball out from behind. He became so good at it, his teammates knew what was coming and were prepared to scoop up the ball.
But when the Bears drafted Tillman in the second round in 2003, he realized he no longer could use the same tactics.
“I couldn’t purposely take bad pursuit angles because, just as fast as I thought I was, those guys were faster,” Tillman said. “I started punching it out as I made the tackle as the guy was coming up. My very first game (against the San Francisco 49ers), it was a special teams play, I punched it out. … Day 1, forced fumble.”
Tillman’s long arms and ability to wrap up while also going for the punch made him so good at it that he averaged 4.9 forced fumbles per season from 2007-13. He believes his mindset to secure the tackle first minimized the risk that comes with such a move.
Since retiring after the 2015 season, Tillman has visited the Carolina Panthers and Buffalo Bills to teach the punch, and coaches sometimes will call him to help players with it. A friend called him from a coaching clinic in Texas to tell him they were teaching it.
Bears players said they practice the punch and strip attempts daily, with Gordon joking he gave himself a “Peanut Punch assist” for his attempt against the Seattle Seahawks in the preseason that linebacker Joe Thomas eventually knocked out.
And Tillman, who joined the Pro Football Hall of Fame ballot in the 2021 class but awaits potential entry, takes pride in hearing “Peanut Punch” on NFL broadcasts, especially when he’s watching with his 13-year-old son.
“It’s actually kind of cool to hear,” Tillman said. “It’s cool for my kids because (they) are like, ‘Oh, wow, they said your name, Dad.’ Because when I played my kids were young, so I don’t think they fully understood the life and everything.”
He tells players now the key to the punch is eye discipline.
“What are you looking at? A lot of times I see people walking in there and punching just to punch, and it doesn’t make sense,” Tillman said. “If you and I were boxing and you’ve got your mitts over your face, I’m not going to keep punching there. I’m going to punch somewhere else where you’re not blocking. I’m trying to find that open area, and that’s really the key: You have to find that open area and know how to punch.”
With Hicks, Tillman talked about different exit angles for the ball depending on whether a tackle is being made from the side or behind. He relayed the benefit of knowing an opponent’s ball-security tendencies and whether that player secures with one hand or two as he’s being taken down. And he talked about not being afraid to go after it.
“It’s also one of those things where you can’t be scared because you’re kind of vulnerable doing it,” Hicks said. “But when you practice it so much, it just becomes second nature.”
And that’s where the mindset Bears coaches are trying to instill comes into play.
‘Thou who runneth to the ball …’
Tillman has the video pinned to the top of his Twitter profile, a clip from a Sept. 24, 2006, game against the Minnesota Vikings that he thinks is “the true essence of that Lovie Smith defense.”
Vikings quarterback Brad Johnson threw a short pass to Travis Taylor, who looked to be one-on-one with Tillman. But within a flash Ricky Manning came in for a hit. Lance Briggs did a Superman leap toward Taylor, “like he was off the top rope in the WWF,” Tillman said. Tommie Harris rumbled in from behind. Tillman popped back up after getting knocked down. Danieal Manning helped finish it off.
At one point there were nine Bears around the football.
Tillman still can recite the coaching mantras that created that type of swarming play and also helped minimize the risk when a player got too aggressive on a strip attempt.
Former defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Bob Babich told his players to “treat the ground like a hot stove.” If they fell, they needed to jump up and get in on the play in case a teammate missed a tackle.
Marinelli told the players to “make daylight evaporate.”
“If we were playing Green Bay and you’re tackling a player, I better see a swarm of white or blue jerseys. I don’t want to see no green when that tackle comes,” Tillman said. “That was the image that he instilled in us.”
As Bears players learn the similar demands of Eberflus and Williams through their HITS principle, they have come up with their own cheeky saying, which they’re sure can be found somewhere in Shakespeare’s work.
“Thou who runneth to the ball, good things shall happen,” cornerback Jaylon Johnson said.
It’s part of a relentless effort the new coaching staff demands of players, constant hustle and intensity — and takeaway attempts on every play.
“It’s all they talk about,” Hicks said. “When we’re in film and we pass up a strip attempt, they’re on our head. Like, ‘You’re better than that. You know that’s not what we’re doing here. Get a strip attempt.’ That’s the standard, no matter who you are.”
Most coaches crave takeaways. Former Bears defensive coordinator Sean Desai had a takeaway bucket last training camp to encourage players, but the Bears forced only 16 turnovers in 2021, ranked 26th in the NFL.
But Williams and Eberflus, who coached one of the next great Peanut Punchers in Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard, think their policy of not walking by a missed strip or interception attempt — along with the focus on it in practice and film sessions — helps.
“Guys have an attitude of, ‘Hey, I’m going to strip the ball every chance I get,’” Williams said. “And when the ball’s up in the air, it’s not just, ‘Hey, I’m going to knock it down.’ It’s, ‘I’m going to intercept the football.’ When we’re tackling it’s, ‘Hey, we’re going to tackle the ball carrier and we’re going to be physical, but we’re also going to punch the football.’
“If you have 10 chances and you’re going for the ball 10 times, the percentages are always better than if you don’t strip or if you try to knock the ball down all the time.”
Williams’ comments were in response to a question about how talent versus mindset factors into forcing turnovers.
Because that’s the caveat about the Bears returning to the days of being a takeaway machine.
The Bears defenses of the early 2000s had a wealth of talent, starting with Tillman, Briggs, Harris, Brian Urlacher, Mike Brown and later Julius Peppers. There is talent on the 2022 Bears — such as Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith — and Williams and the players have indicated they see their potential differently than outside perception.
But there’s no question that as general manager Ryan Poles slowly builds the roster, there are also several young and unproven players on the defense.
“You definitely have to have talent,” Tillman said. “I don’t think you can go out there with some scrubs and win. We had a lot of talent. We had great coaching, and I think with great coaching, you had good students, us the players.”
And that’s where the Bears at least can begin their quest to again be a “Takeaway King,” as rookie safety Jaquan Brisker’s shirt read after a recent practice.
On his visit with the Bears, Tillman told stories and talked football with Eberflus. He said Marinelli “knew how to get every ounce of effort, sweat, blood, tears” out of his players.
Tillman was intrigued by what Eberflus wants to create in Chicago.
“To me that was like, ‘Oh, wow, he is a Marinelli disciple,’” Tillman said. “He knows defensively in order to win this game, we need the ball. It’s not about big hits, it’s about staying in your gaps, it’s about taking the ball away and it’s about 11 guys doing one thing, not one person doing 11 things.
“He’s going to put his twist on it and make it his way. Time will tell. Like the rest of this city, I’m hoping he’s extremely successful in his first year.”

DENVER — The Colorado State Patrol is investigating a single-vehicle rollover crash that killed three passengers and seriously injured the driver in Adams County early Saturday morning.
The crash happened on eastbound East 136th Avenue around 6:15 a.m. Saturday. Police believe excessive speed and alcohol were factors.
The three passengers in the 2012 Toyota Highlander — a 28-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, both from Longmont, and an 18-year-old woman from Lafayette — were pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver — a 25-year-old man from Longmont — was transported to the hospital with serious injuries, according to the CSP. He remains hospitalized as of Sunday.
Troopers say the driver of the SUV was speeding down East 136th Avenue, blew through a stop sign at Riverdale Road, went off the road, became airborne and came to a rest in a drainage ditch.
The names of those who died in the crash have not been released. The incident remains under investigation. No other details are known. | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/3-dead-in-single-vehicle-rollover-crash-in-adams-county | 2022-09-04T23:50:49Z | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/3-dead-in-single-vehicle-rollover-crash-in-adams-county | true | 2 |
Villarreal moved into third place in LaLiga with a decisive 4-0 victory over Elche on Sunday.
Gerard Moreno opened the scoring in the 26th minute, tucking in his own rebound after an initial effort was blocked by Edgar Badia.
It took Giovani Lo Celso 10 more minutes to double the hosts’ advantage, who sent a left-footed strike into the top right from a tight angle.
Francis Coquelin trebled Villarreal’s tally after coming off the bench in the 79th minute and firing home from the centre of the area 10 minutes later.
That looked to be the final score before Jose Luis Morales got in on the action in the third minute of second-half stoppage time.
Unai Emery’s side ended the weekend level on 10 points with second-placed Barcelona, two behind league leaders Real Madrid.
Valencia, meanwhile, benefited from a full-squad effort as they dominated Getafe 5-1.
Toni Lato got the hosts off to an early lead in the seventh minute of a match that also saw first-half scores from Samuel Lino and Samu Castillejo before Nico Gonzalez and Hugo Duro put the game away after the break.
Both sides were down to 10 men late in the contest, with Valencia’s Ilaix Moriba seeing red in the 88th minute and Mauro Arambarri evening up the numbers in added time.
Elsewhere, Ruben Garcia’s 90th-minute goal lifted Osasuna to a dramatic 2-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano.
Aimar Oroz broke the deadlock early in the second half before Florian Lejeune levelled proceedings with 15 minutes remaining.
Denmark international Martin Braithwaite’s 83rd-minute goal, meanwhile, was the only score in Espanyol’s close 1-0 victory over previously-unbeaten Athletic Bilbao.
Lens eked out a 1-1 draw at Reims despite also playing with 10 men after Deiver Machado was punished for tripping Junya Ito in the 66th minute.
Folarin Balogun netted the opener five minutes later, but Lois Openda guaranteed his third-placed Ligue 1 side a point with an 82nd-minute equaliser.
It was the same scoreline at Brest and Troyes, who drew with Strasbourg and Rennes respectively. Both matches also saw men sent off, with Troyes losing Yoann Salmier in the 26th minute and Strasbourg’s Sanjin Prcic punished in the 31st of their contest.
Montpellier’s Valere Germain was given a red card in first-half stoppage time of the 3-1 home loss to Lille, for whom Jonathan David bagged a brace for the visitors.
It took just one goal from Dango Ouattara to give Lorient victory at Ajaccio, while Breel Embolo was the sole scorer in Monaco’s win at Nice and Clermont Foot sealed a 2-0 home victory over Toulouse.
Four different goalscorers sealed fourth-placed Serie A side Udinese’s 4-0 win over Roma, with Destiny Udogie opening proceedings in the fifth minute before Lazar Samardzic, Roberto Pereyra and Sandi Lovric netted in the second half.
Verona beat visiting Sampdoria 2-1 thanks to an Emilio Audero own goal and a strike from Scotsman Josh Doig, while the sides split the spoils in the other two Sunday contests, with Cremonese playing out a goalless draw with Sassuolo and Bologna’s meeting with Spezia ending 2-2.
Both Bundesliga clashes ended in clean sheet victories for the away teams.
Aaron Caricol’s 55th-minute strike was enough to give Mainz a win at 10-man Borussia Monchengladbach, who saw Ko Itakura sent off two minutes before the game-winner.
Hertha Berlin, meanwhile, sealed a 2-0 win at Augsburg. Second-half goals from Dodi Lukebakio and Marco Richter gave the capital club their first win of the campaign.
Elsewhere, Everton loanee Dele Alli netted in just his second match for Besiktas, his 35th-minute goal the second in his new side’s 3-2 victory over Ankaragucu, which lifted them to the top of the Turkish Super Lig table. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/09/04/villarreal-on-the-up-with-victory-over-elche/ | 2022-09-04T23:56:25Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/09/04/villarreal-on-the-up-with-victory-over-elche/ | true | 10 |

Russian Report: Nazism is Not Persecuted in Bulgaria, Vandals write ‘Save Ukraine’ on Monuments
“In Bulgaria there are structures and organizations that openly support Nazism, they regularly organize a march in the name of the ideologist of Bulgarian Nazism and a torchlight procession in honor of a Bulgarian accomplice of the fascists - military pilot Dimitar Spisarevski.
At the same time, hooligans desecrated places in memory of Soviet soldiers, and marginals tried to write ‘Save Ukraine’ graffiti on the majestic monument of the Soviet Army.”
This is stated in the next report of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation entitled "On the situation with the glorification of Nazism, the spread of neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of modern forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance".
It was published in the year Russia launched its first full-scale war in Europe since 1945 under the pretext of "denazification" of Ukraine, but is actually preparing to annex the occupied territories this fall. The country was excluded from the UN Human Rights Council and the Council of Europe - the oldest human rights organization on the continent, Moscow no longer recognizes the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, and on the streets of Russian cities people are arrested just for coming out to protest with a sheet of white paper.
The text covers dozens of countries and is a peculiar mixture.
On the one hand, concrete examples, organizations and events are detailed, illustrating Moscow's thesis that "manifestations of extreme nationalism and xenophobia in Bulgaria are not rare". On the other hand, it recognizes that "the prospect of representatives of Bulgarian nationalist organizations entering the legislative and executive bodies of power is unlikely."
There is a detailed account of the state of monuments in honor of the army of the USSR and the attitude towards them, incl. the actions of the national authorities in the event of their damage. But the list includes both the large monument in the center of Sofia and a bust in the village of Strelcha of Marshal Zhukov, who commanded units in a completely different place in the Second World War, but was erected a monument to him in 2015 by the mayor Ivan Evstatiev, a member of National movement "Russophiles" because he was "the most spectacular military leader in human civilization".
All actions against Soviet monuments and memorial plaques are declared anti-Russian and the work of "vandals", "hooligans" and "marginals", who, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry, are "guilty, but as a rule manage to avoid punishment". An example of the latter is the decision of the Sofia City Court that the attempt to write “Save Ukraine” on the Monument to the Soviet Army on February 25 (the day after the attack on Ukraine) was recognized as an "action" and a form of protest against "Russia's aggression against Ukraine", and their arrest was declared illegal. However, the text says: "At the same time, open manifestations of discrimination against Russians and Russian-speakers from the population of Bulgaria were practically absent."
In the context of the "heroization of Nazism," there is talk of an "increase in hate speech and hate crimes against Turks, Roma, Muslims, Jews, people of African descent, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers", as well as the failure to integrate the Roma. But "the ethos of intolerance towards the national minorities living in the country is mainly carried out at the household level, although during election campaigns individual cases of the use of hate speech, mainly anti-Semitic statements, were also registered". And "at the same time, parties and non-governmental organizations that protect the interests of the Turkish and Roma population freely function in the country."
Included are criticisms against two governments - GERB and the coalition cabinet of Kiril Petkov.
About Boyko Borissov's government, it is written the following:
"Despite everything listed above, official Sofia does not hesitate to accuse the Russian Federation of ‘falsifying historical events’ of the war period. In particular, in 2020, on the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, Bulgaria joined the declaration of the United States and a number of Eastern European countries, determining the USSR and Nazi Germany were equally responsible for starting the conflict. In the same year, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs E. Zaharieva, when discussing the issue of borders and reparations in Bulgaria, tried to downplay the efforts of Soviet diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference in 1946."
About Kiril Petkov's government, it is written the following:
"The beginning of the special military operation for the denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine was used by the Bulgarian government headed by K. Petkov, which was actively involved in the aggressive campaign launched by the West, as an occasion to inflame Russophobia. The broadcast of the TV channel Russia Today, the news agency Sputnik, as well as related resources, were restricted, and cases of blocking of access to Internet news resources and applications of Russian banks were registered. There was a provocative mass expulsion of employees of Russian diplomatic institutions."
But otherwise, it is listed that:
- “no facts of illegal exhumation or transfer of the mortal remains of Soviet soldiers to the territory of Bulgaria have been established
- no attempts have been made to prosecute Bulgarian veterans who fought on the side of the Bulgarian People's Army, partisan units and combat groups, as well as the Resistance Movement
- there were no registered cases of banning the use of symbols and insignia of the Red Army and the USSR, obstruction of commemorative events on the occasion of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, as well as opposition to the activities of local veterans’ organizations and non-governmental organizations fighting against neo-Nazism and the glorification of Nazism.”
The report recalls that the Criminal Code of Bulgaria contains an explicit text (Article 108) in which the preaching of a fascist or other anti-democratic ideology is equated with "forcible alteration of the public and state system established by the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria" (punishes with imprisonment of up to three years or a fine of up to five thousand BGN). But no cases of prosecution on this basis have been registered.
“The efforts of official Sofia in the fight against the spread of neo-Nazi ideas by the above-mentioned organizations are clearly insufficient”, says Russia.

The No. 21-ranked West Virginia University women’s soccer team used an 89th-minute goal to earn a 1-0 win over No. 25 Samford in a neutral-site contest at Auburn Soccer Complex in Auburn, Alabama, on Sunday afternoon.
The Mountaineers (3-1-2) once again struggled to find the back of the net for much of the match, but fifth-year senior forward Lauren Segalla’s last-minute tally proved to be the difference. Classmate Jordan Brewster took a free kick from the left of the 18’ after sophomore forward Dilary Heredia-Beltran drew a foul in the attacking third. Brewster sent in a good strike and found the head of Segalla for the score.
Segalla’s tally was her first of the campaign and the 17th goal of her career, while the game-winning strike was the eighth game-winner of her career. Brewster also secured her first points of the season, notching her 11th career helper.
Despite the end result, the final stats showed a very even contest. WVU just edged Samford, 13-11, in shots, and the two squads notched four shots on goal apiece. In corner kicks, West Virginia narrowly led Samford, 4-3, while the Bulldogs were whistled for nine offsides.
Four Mountaineers led the offense with a pair of shots each, while senior goalkeeper Kayza Massey was called upon to make four saves. Massey and the defense notched their fourth shutout of the campaign, as well as their third in a row.
Sunday’s win over No. 25 Samford marked West Virginia’s first win over a ranked opponent since topping No. 10 Virginia, 1-0, on April 3, 2021. Additionally, it was the team’s first neutral-site ranked victory since defeating No. 9 Baylor, 3-0, on Nov. 4, 2018, to capture the 2018 Big 12 Championship crown.
Samford and West Virginia met on the pitch for the first time in program history on Sunday, as WVU now claims a 1-0 lead in the series. The Bulldog’s became WVU 118th different opponent all time.
The Mountaineers now return home to host Clemson on Thursday, Sept. 8, at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium in Morgantown. The contest, tabbed for 7 p.m. ET, is Defend Dlesk Fan Appreciation Night, and fans will have opportunities to win raffle prizes throughout the match. | https://www.wvnstv.com/goldandbluenation/last-minute-goal-lifts-no-21-wvu-over-no-25-samford/ | 2022-09-05T00:10:52Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/goldandbluenation/last-minute-goal-lifts-no-21-wvu-over-no-25-samford/ | true | 5 |

Doncaster Rovers: Why Tommy Rowe had to think long and hard about signing new contract
Tommy Rowe admits he had to think long and hard about whether or not to stay with Doncaster Rovers this summer.
The club captain penned a new two-year deal in June having enjoyed a successful season personally despite Rovers relegation, making 50 appearances in all competitions and scoring eight goals.
But it wasn't an easy call.

You always got a fair fight at Doncaster Plant Works!
Asked how much thought he gave to the offer of a new contract, which ended doubt over his future, Rowe said: “Lots of thought.
"It’s not about did I want to stay or not, it’s not as clean cut as that. With a young family I have a very busy life. I’m a taxi driver! It’s a part-time job and it’s about finding that balance.”
The 33-year-old continued: "This part of my career is about being happy with my career choice, but also helping my family.
"It’s a balance and many questions were asked but this was the best result.”
Was there interest elsewhere?
"There’s always that, that’s football,” he said.
”Everyone is looking constantly. If you score a few goals that’s the case."
Rowe is set for appearance number 200 for Doncaster across three separate spells when they host Mansfield Town at the Eco-Power Stadium this afternoon.
What is it about this club that appeals to him?
"There’s many different factors,” he said. “This (Rovers’ training ground at Cantley Park) is a fantastic place.
"It has everything we need and more. We have to bring our personalities every day, and our attention, and we all go home having had a good day.
"When you can call that your job it’s a fantastic life to live.” | https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/football/doncaster-rovers-why-tommy-rowe-had-to-think-long-and-hard-about-signing-new-contract-3829908 | 2022-09-05T00:14:41Z | https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/football/doncaster-rovers-why-tommy-rowe-had-to-think-long-and-hard-about-signing-new-contract-3829908 | true | 1 |

Cyrus Mistry, an Indian-born Irish businessman and former chairman of Indian conglomerate Tata Sons, has died in an accident after his car crashed into a road divider in western India, police said. He was 54.
The crash occurred on a river bridge in Maharashtra state’s Palghar district near Mumbai on Sunday, police officer Prakash Gaekwad told reporters.
Mistry served as chairman of Tata Sons for five years until he was removed by the board in October 2016. He challenged the board’s decision, but India’s top court upheld his dismissal.
Politicians and business leaders reacted with shock to news of Mistry’s death. The prime minister, Narendra Modi, said Mistry was a promising business leader who believed in India’s economic prowess.
“His passing away is a big loss to the world of commerce and industry,” he said.
Anand Mahindra, an Indian business leader, said: “I was convinced he was destined for greatness. If life had other plans for him, so be it, but life itself should not have been snatched away from him.”
Mistry owned an 18.4% stake in Tata Sons through his company, Cyrus Investments. In 2018, his net worth was about $10bn.
Mistry joined the family construction company, Shapoorji Pallonji and Co as managing director in 1991.
He is survived by his wife and two sons. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/05/cyrus-mistry-billionaire-ex-chairman-of-tata-sons-dies-in-india-car-crash | 2022-09-05T00:16:51Z | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/05/cyrus-mistry-billionaire-ex-chairman-of-tata-sons-dies-in-india-car-crash | true | 14 |

Winter Prediction Is Looking Pretty Brutal For New York State
If you were hoping for a mild winter this year in New York State, the chances for that are not looking good. The Old Farmer's Almanac released its predictions for winter 2022-2023.

The Most Polluted Lake In U.S. Is Located In New York State
New York State is home to the #1 most polluted lake in America. Actually, we have two lakes among the top 5 most polluted in the United States. We're also the only state with two (in my opinion, three) lakes on the list. AZ Animals put out the list of the top 10 for 2022. The reason I believe we actually have three lakes on the list is that Lake Erie is listed for Michigan, but we also share the lake. I'm no scientist, but any pollution from Michigan most likely makes its way to other areas of the lake, including our side.

‘I Hate to Move It, Move It': The City in New York That Hates Exercise the Most

Lewis Hamilton sorry for obscene rant at his team
Lewis Hamilton apologised to his Mercedes team for launching into a furious four-letter outburst after his hopes of victory disappeared at the Dutch Grand Prix yesterday.
The seven-times world champion was within touching distance of his first race win of the season but was denied by a late safety car and a subsequent poor strategy call from his team at the Zandvoort circuit. Max Verstappen won his home race as he closes in on a second successive world title.
Hamilton, 37, accused his team of “the biggest f***-up” in failing to bring him in for new tyres, later adding over the radio: “I can’t believe you guys f***ing screwed me.” After the race he was in a more conciliatory mood, apologising for the tirade but | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/lewis-hamilton-sorry-for-obscene-rant-at-his-team-qvrr3z8j6 | 2022-09-05T00:47:58Z | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/lewis-hamilton-sorry-for-obscene-rant-at-his-team-qvrr3z8j6 | false | null |

The fact they are doing so without proof wind and solar will be enough. It won’t. I think government is is doing everything they can to put us all in a smaller place. If we are all in one place it’s easier to control. Control is all they care about. That and what they can take from us.
Great news! Europe has destroyed their nuclear, coal and Nat gas electricity generation plants and home energy prices are only up 400% to 900%. AOC’s and Biden’s Green New Deal. Yes!
Not so fast! we still need it.😤 People we have to get together to stop this demolition of our infrastructure. They're destroying us.

Only available when a new branch opens, the contents are sure to please lovers of Japanese convenience stores!
Just last week, our Japanese-language reporter Daiichiro Tashiro attended the opening of a brand new convenience store in the countryside, and as it was the first 7-Eleven to open in the town, the excitement was palpable.
As part of the opening celebrations, Daiichiro was able to snare a couple of lucky bags that were being sold in limited numbers. Lucky bags are known for containing mystery items worth more than the price of the bag, and seeing as 7-Eleven only sells these at the opening of a new store, he couldn’t wait to see what was inside them.
▼ Daiichiro purchased a small 1,000 yen (US$7.13) bag and a large 5,000 yen bag.
After keeping us in suspense over the contents of the bags, Daiichiro has finally prepared the grand reveal for us, taking the time to list everything, along with their retail prices, to let us know if it was money well spent.
▼ Let’s start by taking a look inside the 1,000 yen bag.
This bag contained the following 7 items:
- Almond balls
- Ippudo instant ramen
- Akamaru Shinmi Hakata Tonkotsu
- Beef curry medium hot
- Barley tea 600 millilitres
- Miso-simmered domestic mackerel
Not bad for 1,000 yen! According to Daiichiro’s calculations, these items would normally come to a total of 1,265 yen, meaning that he was able to save 265 yen. The saving wasn’t as significant as he’d hoped, but still, with rice, noodles, curry, snacks, and a drink included, none of these would go to waste — in fact, it was a really well-balanced selection.
▼ Now on to the larger 5,000-yen bag.
This bag contained the following 20 items:
- Atarime (39 grams)
- Sugar Butter Tree (3 pieces)
- Sumire Sapporo Rich Miso
- Gold Moist Baumkuchen
- Seasoning Cabbage 2 servings x 2 bags
- Cup miso soup with lots of ingredients
- Pork miso soup
- Tempura soba
- Kitchen paper (50 cut x 2 rolls)
- Mackerel boiled in miso
- Dressing Japanese style onion
- Double-dipped shrimp mirin (6 pieces)
- Jackie Calpas (119 grams)
- Extremely fluffy bath towel
- Thick-sliced potatoes Ishigaki salty
- Free smoothie voucher
Now this was more like it! The more you spend, the more you get, and Daiichiro was extremely pleased with what he got here. Again, the savings weren’t that significant — the regular retail cost came to a total of 5,483 yen, so a saving of 483 yen — but in addition to all the food and kitchen paper, it included an “extremely fluffy bath towel“, which has great reviews on the Internet.
▼ We initially thought this was a bag of bran, but it’s actually a bath towel!
Part of the joy of a lucky bag is the surprise of finding out what you get, and the towel was a totally unexpected item, so Daicihiro was a very satisfied customer. Opening the bags gave him the same sense of excitement that walking through the doors of the new convenience store did, and that’s something you can’t put a price on.
City 7-Elevens can keep their fancy floating hologram registers — for Daiicihiro, you can’t beat the magic of a countryside convenience store, especially after a grand opening!

The shooting of Kalonji Arthur at the Brix, St Ann’s, last week and the music of the machine gun(s) that resonated in the backyards of the nation’s prime minister and president are a mere fraction of the gunshots and gang warfare and trauma that torture the residents of crime hotspots such as Belle Eau Road, Belmont; Lovers Lane, Gonzales; Morvant, Laventille, Maloney, Arouca, etc, on a daily basis.
An act of Parliament passed in the dead of the night and speedily proclaimed by our president can put a stop to it. An act of Parliament, allowing the army to move into strategic areas nationwide that are reputed for heavy arms possession (including but not limited to Valsayn, Chaguanas and Couva), locking them down for a month or so and disarming the illegally armed pests once and for all, can put a stop to it.
As entrenched as the constitutional provisions restricting our freedom may be, where there is a will to stop the upsurge in fatal shootings, there is a way to stop it.
It is true that our police and armed forces could sing, and our Government and Opposition wine and jam for our 60th Independence anniversary, but can we use that same enthusiasm and energy to make Trinidad and Tobago safe before a new gang is formed?
Do we understand what it means when our teenage sons cannot walk to a corner shop because they might be mistaken for a gang member and shot dead? Or have we gotten so accustomed to the smell of the excrement of crime that we no longer detect the stink?
Whether we like it or not, the failure to manage crime expeditiously results in an unwanted exodus of our intellectuals and jewels like Carnival. Our beloved Trinidad Carnival seems to be growing exponentially elsewhere—why bother to come to crime-ridden Trinidad for Carnival at all?
In the meantime, our inaction and silence give consent to the criminal activity which makes us Trinbagonians guilty accomplices.

Analysis-France braces for uncertain winter as nuclear power shortage looms
PARIS, Aug 30 (Reuters) - France, once Europe's top power exporter, may not produce enough nuclear energy this winter to help European neighbours seeking alternatives to Russian gas, and may even have to ration electricity to meet its own needs.
France has for years helped to underpin Europe's electricity supply, providing about 15% of the region's total power generation.
But this year, for the first time since French records began in 2012, France has become a net power importer as its own production of nuclear energy hit a 30-year low, based on data from consultancy EnAppSys.
The supply squeeze, caused by a wave of repairs at the country's nuclear power stations, couldn't have come at a worse time. Europe is in the grip of an energy crisis as Russian gas supplies plummet in the wake of the Ukraine conflict and France, which derives 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy, has lost its edge.
French power prices have hit a string of all-time highs - topping 1,000 euros ($1,004.10) per megawatt hour earlier this month - on expectations the country will not have enough electricity to meet domestic demand. That surge, from prices of around 70 euros a year ago, has added to a cost-of-living crisis.
"Sky-high electricity prices are an economic threat, with France's nuclear issues seemingly turning into a greater challenge than Russian gas flows," said Norbert Rücker, head of economics and next generation research at Julius Baer.
A record number of France's 56 nuclear reactors have gone offline for overdue maintenance and checks related to corrosion issues that first surfaced last December. Some reactors have had to cut production during the summer to prevent rivers used to cool reactors from overheating.
As of Aug. 29, 57% of nuclear generation capacity was offline, based on data provided by state-controlled nuclear power group Electricite de France, or EDF.
EDF's current outage schedule sees production levels returning to around 50 gigawatts (GW) daily by December from around 27 GW now as reactors gradually come back for the winter season.
But the market, analysts and union officials think that forecast is too optimistic.
In a normal year, France produces around 400 terawatt-hours (or 400,000 GWh) of nuclear electricity and exports about 10% of it in warmer months. But during winter consumption peaks, France imports power from its neighbours, particularly Germany.
This year, EDF forecasts French nuclear production at 280-300 terawatt-hours, the lowest since 1993. France has imported power from the likes of Germany and Belgium during the summer, when it would usually be exporting it.
"That makes for scary winter prospects," said Paris-based nuclear energy consultant Mycle Schneider.
Six analysts polled by Reuters estimated that France's power capacity during the winter will fall below EDF's forecasts, by 10 to 15 GW a day until at least late January. This means France will need to import more power when the rest of Europe will also be facing an energy crunch, or risk blackouts.
Last week, EDF - which this year has cut its nuclear output forecasts several times and issued four profit warnings - delayed the restart of several reactors to at least mid-November, fuelling more uncertainty.
Current power market prices reveal a lack of confidence in EDF's ability to put all its reactors back online in time for the cold season, a parliamentary source close to government said, although this source also said the availability of the fleet should improve from current low levels.
"We should be able to recover a large part of the reactors which are currently offline," the source said. "We can also ask the French to make efforts, especially to reduce consumption peaks."
The measures the French government could take include forced interruption of power supply to industrial and commercial consumers, reduced heating in public buildings, turning off street lights and controlled power cuts, he said.
French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has urged companies to draft energy savings plans by next month, warning they would be hit first if France has to ration gas and electricity. read more
ROLLING BLACKOUTS?
The CGT union, France's biggest, is bracing for some rolling blackouts this winter.
"The situation is really worrying... to say that there won't be power cuts is a very optimistic gamble, unless one already knows for sure that the winter will be warm," said Virginie Neumayer, who follows nuclear issues at CGT.
Even if EDF can boost nuclear production, analysts say France will still not have spare power to sell to neighbours starved of Russian gas, with Italy, Britain and Switzerland seen as the countries worst hit.
"We have seen some effects over the last months already, as Spain, the UK and Italy all have had to increase their domestic production, since export volumes from France have been much lower than normal," said Fabian Ronningen of consultancy Rystad Energy.
"I think Italy would be the most affected country (if France stopped exporting electricity), as they are Europe's overall largest power importer."
EDF CEO Jean-Bernard Levy said on Monday that among the reactors that are closed, 12 were for corrosion problems and the rest were either shut for routine maintenance delayed by the pandemic or taken off-line to prepare them for winter.
Levy said the company was "totally mobilised" to avoid more outages.
"These works are heavy, we will need hundreds and hundreds of very skilled people, we are making them come from abroad, the U.S. in particular," he told a business conference. He said corrosion issues required workers to operate in a part of the reactor where radiation is high, meaning exposure had to be limited.
For the coming winter, meteorologists often look at how the La Niña weather pattern develops over the summer as an indicator of a colder than average winter.
Currently, the odds of that happening are at 60% during December-February 2022-23, U.S. government weather forecaster the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center said. read more
Longer term, questions remain over whether EDF, which is in the process of being fully nationalised, can maintain its ageing fleet of existing power stations - mostly build in the 1980s - or build new ones quickly enough to replace them.
France's nuclear safety watchdog ASN said in May that fixing the corrosion issues affecting EDF's reactors could take years. read more
The next generation nuclear reactors EDF has built - including one in Flamanville in France, and another at Hinkley Point in England - have run billions over budget and several years beyond schedule.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A man was killed by Milwaukee officers after he led them on a chase into a busy downtown bar district, then got out of his vehicle and opened fire on them, police said.
One bystander, a 22-year-old Hudson woman, was hit by gunfire in the Friday night shootout, police said. Authorities said they did not immediately know if she was shot by police or by the man; police said her injuries were not life-threatening and she was treated at a local hospital. No officers were hit by gunfire.
Police said the 47-year-old Milwaukee man was wanted in a homicide and police had spotted him in a vehicle and tried to stop him at about 11 p.m. Friday when he fled. When the chase ended downtown, police said, the man got out of his vehicle and “fired several shots at officers.” Several officers shot back, killing him, police said.
A video circulating on social media shows at least five police cars chasing a pickup truck before multiple shots are heard. In another video, multiple people can be seen standing on the sidewalk as police cars drive by with lights and sirens, then they scatter as gunshots ring out.
Police have not released the names of the man or the injured bystander, who they say was not involved. Police said the man’s firearm was recovered, but they did not release details about what kind of firearm it was.
The eight officers involved have been placed on administrative duty, as is routine in police shootings. The officers range in age from 22 to 47, and have varying levels of experience, ranging from more than three years to more than 12 years with Milwaukee Police Department.
The Oak Creek Police Department is leading the investigation and said Saturday that they had no additional details to release, citing the ongoing investigation. The Milwaukee Police Department referred questions to the medical examiner and to Oak Creek police. | https://www.kget.com/national-news/ap-man-dies-in-shootout-with-milwaukee-police-bystander-hurt/ | 2022-09-05T01:51:11Z | https://www.kget.com/national-news/ap-man-dies-in-shootout-with-milwaukee-police-bystander-hurt/ | true | 31 |
- Republicans have been plotting to rewrite the constitution and limit federal power.
- Former Sen. Russ Feingold and scholar Peter Prindiville write in their new book that this could lead to drastic changes in laws.
- "In this uncertainty lies great danger and, possibly, great power," they wrote, according to the NYT.
Republicans have campaigned behind the scenes for years now to change the constitution through a gathering of 34 state legislatures known as a constitutional convention.
A constitutional convention, designated by Article V of the constitution, would allow state legislatures to pass or ratify constitutional amendments without a governor's signature, Congress' intervention, or any input from the president.
Some Republicans attempt to use a convention, which has never been accomplished in U.S. history, to limit the federal governments spending and taxation powers and enact term limits on more federal officials.
Former Democratic Senator Russ Feingold and constitutional scholar Peter Prindiville write in their new book "The Constitution in Jeopardy" that a "runaway" convention has the potential to go off-script and create massive changes in laws concerning health care, education, and the environment.
Prindiville told the Times that the convention would operate as a "free-standing, distinct constitutional body" without clear guidance on how it would function because the rules of a constitutional convention were never detailed by the framers.
"Despite convention proponents' claims of legal certainty, the most important questions about how a convening held under Article V would be called and how it would function are unsettled," Feingold and Prindiville write in their book, according to the Times.
"The framers left no rules. In this uncertainty lies great danger and, possibly, great power."
Insider's Grace Panetta and Brent D. Griffiths previously reported on the Republican plan to assemble a constitutional convention to gut environmental regulations and education standards while making it more difficult for Washington, DC or territories like Puerto Rico to earn statehood.
Rob Natelson, a key Article V scholar in the movement to call a convention, previously dismissed the potential of a "runaway" Constitution to Insider.
The Convention of the States, which has ties to prominent Republicans like former Trump lawyer John Eastman, have pushed for narrow revisions of the constitution that would limit "the power and jurisdiction" of the federal government.
David Super, a professor and constitutional law expert at Georgetown University Law Center, told Insider that limiting the power of the federal government could actually result in extreme and broad changes.
"I defy you to name a Constitutional amendment that you might want that I couldn't characterize as one of the three things in the Convention of States," Super told Panetta and Griffiths. "You want to repeal the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause? That's limiting the power of the federal government to interfere with state laws. Almost anything you want, you can characterize as one of those things."
Nineteen states have so far passed a Convention of States' resolution — with five states making progress on the resolution — according to an Insider analysis. Three states — South Dakota, Iowa, and North Carolina — have Republican-led state legislatures.
Backers of a constitutional convention include Eastman, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Fox News personalities like Sean Hannity and Mark Levin.
Natelson previously told Insider that he predicts there is a 50% chance the country will be able to form one within the next five years. | https://www.businessinsider.com/republicans-could-make-drastic-changes-to-constitution-with-runaway-convention-2022-9 | 2022-09-05T01:52:56Z | https://www.businessinsider.com/republicans-could-make-drastic-changes-to-constitution-with-runaway-convention-2022-9 | false | 3 |
OTTAWA, Canada - At least 10 people were killed and more than a dozen others were injured in stabbings in two remote Canadian communities Sunday, police said, as they launched a manhunt for two suspects.
Police responding to emergency calls found 10 dead in the Indigenous community of James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby town of Weldon, Saskatchewan, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore told a news conference.
"Several additional victims have been injured, 15 of which at this point have been transported to various hospitals," she said.
Yet more victims may have made their way to hospitals on their own, she added.
"We are actively looking for the two suspects," she said.
They have been identified as Damien and Myles Sanderson and described as 30- and 31-year-old males, both with black hair and brown eyes.
The suspects fled in a black Nissan Rogue, Blackmore added, and several checkpoints have been set up on highways and roads across the region, as "maximum" police resources were deployed for the search.
The James Smith Cree Nation, with a population of 2,500, declared a local state of emergency, while many residents of Saskatchewan province were urged to shelter in place.
"It is horrific what has happened in our province today," Blackmore said.
Weldon resident Diane Shier told local media her neighbor, a man who lived with his grandson, was killed. "I am very upset because I lost a good neighbor," she told the Canadian Press.
A dangerous person alert had been issued in the morning in Saskatchewan, as police responded to "multiple stabbings (in) multiple locations" in the Indigenous community and the town of Weldon.
Blackmore said police received a call at 5:40 am (11:40 GMT) about a stabbing at the James Smith First Nation, followed quickly by more calls reporting further stabbings.
She said authorities believe "some of the victims were targeted by the suspects and others were attacked randomly."
"To speak to a motive would be extremely difficult at this point in time," she added.
After reported sightings of the suspects in Regina, the provincial capital more than 300 kilometers (185 miles) to the south, the alert and search expanded to include neighboring Manitoba and Alberta provinces -- a vast region almost half the size of Europe.
In Regina, police chief Evan Bray said authorities were on high alert with additional officers deployed as fans descended on the city for a sold-out Labour Day weekend game between the Canadian Football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority told AFP in a statement it had activated emergency protocols to deal with "a high number of critical patients."
"We can confirm that multiple people are being triaged and cared for at multiple sites and that a call for additional staff to help respond to this situation has occurred," it added.
Three helicopters had been dispatched from Saskatoon and Regina to the remote northern communities to transport stabbing victims and bring a doctor to the scene.
Other victims were transported by ground ambulances to hospitals in nearby cities.

DOMINIC LAWSON: I've a cunning plan to cut energy bills - but whatever you do, don't tell the Scots
What more could the next administration want than a policy which could reduce the nation's fuel bills, while simultaneously lifting our spirits? Fortunately, I have just such an idea, offered free of charge to the new Prime Minister, whoever she might be.
Simply: do not put the clocks back an hour when British Summer Time (BST) is scheduled to end on October 30.
Over recent years there have been several attempts by parliamentarians to pass such a measure but none has been backed by government, and so failed.
There was a three-year experiment with year-round BST between 1968 and 1971, but it was unpopular in Scotland and not continued.
What more could the next administration want than a policy which could reduce the nation's fuel bills, while simultaneously lifting our spirits? Picture: file image
Compelling
The most active proponent of the policy has long been the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, which points to the 12 per cent fall in road deaths during that period. But today, the most pressing justification is the effect it might have in reducing electricity use.
In 2007, researchers at Cambridge University produced a report which pointed out that while the amount of light we get from the sun is, of course, unaffected by whatever we do with our clocks, moving the clocks back an hour when exiting British Summer Time means that more hours are spent in darkness while awake and active (rather than asleep), so adding to the demand for electricity.
The Cambridge team were more concerned about the environmental effects, arguing that not moving to Greenwich Mean Time in winter would reduce our Co2 emissions by 'at least' 500,000 tonnes a year. But their more compelling point, with today's punitively high prices for energy, is that it would reduce bills.
One of its proponents, Senator Patty Murray (pictured in 2020), declared: 'Americans want more sunshine and less depression; people in this country, all the way from Seattle to Miami, want the Sunshine Protection Act'
An earlier report, by the Policy Studies Institute, suggested that 'the savings in domestic energy bills would be about 0.8 per cent'. No, it's not a game changer: but, to quote Mr Tesco, every little helps.
There is a more important psychological factor. I am probably typical in feeling a sharp downturn in mood when BST ends and darkness falls an hour earlier. The more sunlight we have in our waking hours, the less miserable we are — and we could all do with some cheering up at a time of increasing financial hardship.
A measure of this sort — making 'daylight-saving time' permanent, with no clock-changing twice a year — was passed by the U.S. Senate in March. It was called the Sunshine Protection Act.
The former Scottish first minister, Alex Salmond (pictured), when the Tory MP Rebecca Harris introduced a Bill in 2011 which advocated a move towards Central European Time, exclaimed that this would 'plunge Scotland into morning darkness'
One of its proponents, Senator Patty Murray, declared: 'Americans want more sunshine and less depression; people in this country, all the way from Seattle to Miami, want the Sunshine Protection Act. In this country, the greatest opposition to a similar measure will come from Scotland, where the effect of permanent BST would mean the far north would not see the cheery old sun rise until about 9.45 am in the depths of winter.
The former Scottish first minister, Alex Salmond, when the Tory MP Rebecca Harris introduced a Bill in 2011 which advocated a move towards Central European Time, exclaimed that this would 'plunge Scotland into morning darkness'.
David Cameron's administration, worried about the rise of Scottish nationalism, gave Ms Harris's Bill no support.

Veto
But this matter should be settled in the interests of the British people as a whole, not subject to a Caledonian veto. And in any case, even the National Farmers' Union of Scotland — it is farmers who traditionally most oppose adding to darkness in the morning — has said it is 'open to further independent analysis'.
In 2014, Lord Tanlaw, author of a Lighter Evenings (Experiment) Bill, put down a parliamentary question asking the Government if it would 'devolve responsibility for time in order that the Scottish Parliament can select the best clock time for daylight saving during the winter months'.
No, came back the answer, we will not devolve that power. Why not? If the Scots want to have Glasgow Mean Time (so to speak), let them.
I suspect that in practice the Scottish Parliament would not make use of such a power and would prefer to remain aligned, at least clock-wise, with the rest of the UK. After all, three quarters of the Scottish population live in its southern counties.
In short, while the first few weeks of the new administration will be frantic, they should still find time to launch a Do Not Put The Clocks Back (Energy Saving) Bill.
Purloined state papers? Churchill led the way
Even Donald Trump's allies have struggled to defend his purloining of multiple boxes of classified documents, seized by the FBI in a raid on the former U.S. president's home in Florida.
But one Republican Congressman, Ken Buck, made a desperate effort: 'He may be writing a memoir; he may be writing an autobiography. The fact he had the documents isn't of itself a concern.'
Nice try. But under U.S. law, all presidential papers are the property of the National Archives — and the FBI got involved only after the Archives Record Administration had been given the runaround by Trump.
But Buck's spurious justification was one employed (in this case genuinely) by Winston Churchill, and in a way from which he and his family gained financially. Even at the height of the Blitz, Churchill would instruct his secretaries to gather boxes of his official papers every month, and mark them as 'Personal Minutes' — though they were stamped as the property of 'His Britannic Majesty's Government'.
Even at the height of the Blitz, Winston Churchill would instruct his secretaries to gather boxes of his official papers every month, and mark them as 'Personal Minutes'
By the end of the war he had taken a veritable shedload of state papers home. He told his successor as prime minister, Clement Attlee, that he needed them to write his book on World War II ('I am convinced it would be to the advantage of our country to have it told, as perhaps I alone can tell it').
It was certainly to Churchill's advantage: according to Andrew Roberts's masterful biography of the war leader, Churchill received by way of advance, in today's money, the sum of £16.7 million from his British publisher and $16.1 million from an American one.
Not only that, but as John Major's cabinet secretary Robin Butler informed the then prime minister, Churchill had 'set up a trust fund to ensure that any financial benefit from the use of the archives accrued to his heirs'.
Butler wrote this memo because Major was weighing up whether the National Heritage Memorial Fund should fork out to buy the papers from Churchill's grandson (also called Winston), who was one of Major's colleagues on the Tory benches and had been lobbying governments since the 1970s to buy them off him.
He got Sir Jock Colville, his grandfather's former private secretary, to tell one of Butler's predecessors: 'He felt that since he has very little money of his own, it was a little bit rough if he just had to surrender the papers without any quid pro quo.'
Lots of quids, in fact. Major agreed to the deal, the Heritage Memorial fund in 1995 coughing up £12.5 million for the papers, which included 68 bundles of documents that should in any case have been the state's own property.
Say what you like about Trump, but he hasn't been attempting to sell his hoard of government papers to their rightful owner. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11179831/DOMINIC-LAWSON-Ive-cunning-plan-cut-energy-bills-dont-tell-Scots.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-09-05T02:12:25Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11179831/DOMINIC-LAWSON-Ive-cunning-plan-cut-energy-bills-dont-tell-Scots.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false | 3 |
Three West Australian children have been rescued from ongoing child sexual abuse in a seven-day police blitz targeting people involved in making and distributing child exploitation material.
Over seven days WA Police and Australian Federal Police officers executed 61 search warrants in Perth and regional WA areas and charged 45 people with 149 offences.
More than 35,000 images and videos of child exploitation were seized.
“It has to be remembered that child exploitation material is not pornography – it is direct evidence of children being abused,” WA Police sex crime division Detective Superintendent Gordon Fairman said.
“Identifying, locating and rescuing these children is the highest priority for WA Police and we work closely with national and international partners to do this.
“People who manufacture, distribute or possess child exploitation material may believe they are anonymous, hiding behind a computer. Let me tell you that they are not.”
It is National Child Protection Week, with the campaign highlighting the right of children to grow up safely.
The number of reports of child exploitation doubled in Australia from 2019 to 2021, with the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation receiving 33,000 reports in 2021.
“These figures show the scale of the problem and how we need everyone in the community – parents, teachers, carers – to be alert,” AFP Detective Superintendent Graeme Marshall said.
“Let this serve as a warning to anyone who produces or shares child abuse material - you will be caught.”
He said the AFP, together with state, Commonwealth and international partners, remained committed to identifying, arresting and prosecuting those who sought to harm children.

RCMP say 10 people have died and 15 have been sent to hospitals after stabbings in multiple locations in Saskatchewan.
They say they are looking for two suspects — Damien and Myles Sanderson — who are considered armed and dangerous.
RCMP Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore says the dead and injured were found in 13 locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon.
She says the injured have been taken to various hospitals, and there may be other victims who went to hospitals on their own.
She says some people were targeted and others were attacked at random.
“It is horrific what has happened in our province today,” she said.

High Court challenge over Rwanda policy due to start
A High Court challenge against the Government’s plan to deport some asylum seekers to Rwanda is set to begin.
In April, Home Secretary Priti Patel signed what she described as a “world-first agreement” with Rwanda in a bid to deter migrants from crossing the Channel.
However, the first deportation flight – due to take off on June 14 – was grounded amid a series of legal challenges.
Several asylum seekers, along with the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) and groups Care4Calais and Detention Action, are bringing challenges over the plan to provide one-way tickets to the east African country.
The Home Office will be defending the claims, with a spokesperson for the department previously stating that Rwanda is a “fundamentally safe and secure country, with a track record of supporting asylum seekers”.
Lord Justice Lewis, sitting with Mr Justice Swift, previously said the hearing in London will start on Monday and last for five days, with a second hearing in the claim brought by the group Asylum Aid taking place in October.
Both decisions are expected to be given in writing at the same time.
During a previous hearing, the court was told Rwanda had initially been excluded from the shortlist of potential countries “on human rights grounds”.
Judges heard that in an internal note from March 2021, Foreign Office officials told then-foreign secretary Dominic Raab that if Rwanda was selected for the deportation policy “we would need to be prepared to constrain UK positions on Rwanda’s human rights record, and to absorb resulting criticism from UK Parliament and NGOs”.
In another memo, Foreign Office officials said they had advised Downing Street against engagement with several countries, including Rwanda, the court was told in written arguments.
The court also heard the UK High Commissioner to Rwanda previously indicated the east African country should not be used as an option for the policy, telling the Government it “has been accused of recruiting refugees to conduct armed operations in neighbouring countries”.
Another official memo in April this year said the “fraud risk is very high” and there is “limited evidence about whether these proposals will be a sufficient deterrent for those seeking to enter the UK illegally”, judges were told.

LAHORE:On the order of the Ombudsman Punjab Major (R) Azam Suleman Khan, the higher education department has set up a redress cell in the office of the Director Public Instructions (DPI) to resolve the issues of the students applying through the online admission system.
It has learnt that intervention of the ombudsman office resulted in the necessary repair and handing over of the building of the Government Elementary School, Sarai Alamgir, Gujrat, at a cost of Rs7.6 million. The ombudsman office also moderated for laying the sewerage line with Rs3.5 lakh in a Khushab street after one Atiqur Rehman approached it for the provision of clean drinking water to the residents, the spokesman added.
As a result of department proceedings initiated on a separate request made by Muhammad Shahzad of Bahawalpur, three employees of the school education department in Hasilpur Tehsil have been found guilty in the preliminary departmental inquiry. Now, a formal departmental inquiry has been recommended against them under PEEDA Act, 2006 to the district education authority Bahawalpur, the spokesman said.
In another development, the irrigation department has repaired the canal bridge at the cost of Rs1.3 million in the Vehari district to facilitate locals. On the intervention of the ombudsman office at the request of Mubashir Iqbal, a Sahiwal-based plaintiff, the protective grille of a public passage has also been repaired at Rs73,800.

There is little more boring and self-indulgent than a political party being consumed by its internal affairs when the nation faces enormous problems. This is especially true when the party in question is in government.
Having lost the best part of two months to an interminable leadership election, and with an in-tray brimming with horrors, the new prime minister will surely be as keen to put the contest behind them as those of us who have covered it.
But it is important that somebody at Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) takes the time to conduct a proper post-mortem examination, because this contest has done neither party nor country much good.
The most obvious problem is the length of the election. By running the second round (in which party members vote) all the way from July to September, the Government has been left spinning its wheels. Weeks in which we might have started getting ahead of the cost of living crisis were lost.
This would perhaps have been justifiable on the grounds that Conservative members should get a proper chance to get to know the candidates before making a decision. But CCHQ rendered that moot by opening voting weeks ago. As a result, a predictable early rush meant that the likely outcome of the contest has been known for weeks. Even if Rishi Sunak had run a stronger campaign and started closing the gap, it scarcely mattered because Liz Truss had, as far as polling indicates, locked in her opening lead.
Then there were the hustings. On paper, it was a good instinct to organise one in all 12 of the UK’s nations and regions; it could force the candidates to get across the challenges facing different parts of the country and ensure they had a broad message that appealed outside the Tory heartlands in the South. In practice, it didn’t quite work out that way.
For starters, that early voting rendered the hustings increasingly pointless. It was hardly surprising that the party struggled to fill the venue for the final event in London when the great majority of electors had already voted and the outcome, barring an upset of cosmic proportions, was not in doubt.
But the other issue is that the hustings never really got that deep focus on regional issues which might have made 12 three-hour events worthwhile. Anyone who watched more than one or two will have watched the candidates coming back to the same national issues time and again.
London was an egregious example. The capital is in the grips of a rent crisis, and politically the Conservatives have been going backwards here for more than a decade. Many seats which David Cameron won or came close to winning in 2010 are now so heavily Labour they don’t even register on the radar for Tory strategists.
Yet in the whole event, the issue was hardly raised. Neither candidate mentioned it in their stump speech, and while Sunak eventually addressed it following a question from the audience, Truss managed to get through the whole event without being pressed on the housing crisis. Given her status as the front-runner, this was an unpardonable failure.
Perhaps Tory activists genuinely weren’t interested. But each event was compered by a journalist who ought to have been able to correct for such tendencies. Instead, one suspects the involvement of media sponsors for many of the hustings exacerbated the lack of regional focus; each wanted their hustings to be a national TV event, not a local party one.
In the wake of the contest, there have been calls for the election of Conservative leaders by the party membership to be scrapped, at least while the party is in government. This is certainly possible – the actual decision belongs to Tory MPs, who merely delegate it – but it seems extremely unlikely the party will de-democratise like that.
There are steps CCHQ and the 1922 Committee of backbench MPs could take to make sure the next election, whenever it happens, plays out better than this one. First, extend the first round (where MPs vote and eliminate candidates one by one) to give parliamentarians more time to make an informed decision. And add a run-off between the final two so one candidate gets more than 50 per cent of the vote.
Then follow this with a much shorter members’ round, and resist – as much as possible in the modern media environment – to indulge the broadcasters’ keenness to air the party’s dirty laundry on national television.

Anthropologie has partnered with the British designer to launch a unique 38-piece homeware and womenswear collection, which launches 11 September.
When you think of Alice Temperley, it’s her timeless, eclectic style that first comes to mind. From her flowy romantic dresses and use of handpainted prints, the British designer has captured the hearts – and wardrobes – of many.
And now, Temperley has partnered up with Anthropologie to launch a unique only-at-Anthro collection named A Life In Print.
This collection sees the designer delve into her archives to revive and rework some of her most well-known prints for this homeware and fashion collection.
Temperley fans will be able to purchase from the 38-piece collection, which ranges from a £25 eye mask to a £248 velvet quilt, with pieces cut from the softest cotton, georgettes, satins and more, to create an encompassing sensory experience for your wardrobe and home.
“Teaming up with Anthropologie for this collection has been a great experience and surprisingly nostalgic,” says Temperley. “I took Anthropologie on a journey into my print archives and we curated a collection together using iconic, hand-painted prints from the last two decades.
“Each print tells a story from various chapters of my life – whether inspired by my travels, a quirky theme from a previous collection or a vintage dress I discovered while trawling the market on Portobello.”
The collection features a selection of accessories, including a velvet quilt, lampshades, and cushions, along with her signature floating romantic dresses, travel bags, tote bags and trainers.
“Alice Temperley is celebrated for creativity and craftsmanship, a philosophy that resonates with Anthropologie’s own ethos,” said Matt Hilgeman, managing director at Anthropologie International.
“Her creative use of colour and pattern along with her unique approach to design is a natural fit for Anthropologie. We are excited to welcome Alice to the Anthro family.”
Anthropologie x Alice Templerely A Life In Print collection lands in stores and online on 11 September.

Coast Guard: 1 dead, 9 missing after float plane crashes in Puget Sound
LANGLEY, Wash. (AP) — One person was killed and nine people remained missing after a float plane crashed in the Puget Sound in Washington state on Sunday, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The agency said via Twitter Sunday afternoon that the plane was flying from Friday Harbor, a popular tourist destination in the San Juan Islands, to Renton, Washington. Previously the Coast Guard had said the plane was flying to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The U.S. Coast Guard had initially said via Twitter Sunday afternoon that the aircraft had eight adults and one child aboard.
The crash happened in Mutiny Bay, off Whidbey Island, about 40 miles northwest of Seattle.
The Coast Guard said one body was recovered and nine people remain missing.
Float planes, planes that have pontoons allowing them to land on water, are a common sight around the Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean. There are multiple, daily flights between the Seattle area and the San Juan Islands, a scenic archipelago northwest of Seattle that draws tourists from around the world.
The aircraft, which also fly between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, frequently fly through Seattle and land in a lake not far from the city’s iconic Space Needle.
Renton, where authorities say the flight was headed Sunday, is at the southern tip of Lake Washington about 10 miles southeast of Seattle.
In May 2019, six people were killed in a midair collision between two Alaska sightseeing planes. The Ketchikan-based floatplanes carrying passengers from the same cruise ship, the Royal Princess, were returning from tours of Misty Fjords National Monument.

‘Big Play J’
In the preseason, Timberlane Regional football coach Kevin Fitzgerald talked about the big-play potential of senior Jaden Mwangi, not just on offense but in all three phases.
It didn’t take long for Mwangi to make his coach appear clairvoyant.
Friday night in the win over Memorial, Mwangi had an interception in the end zone to turn the Crusaders away on one drive. He also added a punt return for a touchdown.
“The interception was not an easy play, an over-the-shoulder catch on a 50/50 ball,” said Fitzgerald.
“Jaden is a talented athlete with a very good skill set. He has become a big play maker on defense and in the return game, and his willingness as a blocking receiver does not go unnoticed. He’s a big part of what we do.”
Hersom lowers the boom
After sitting behind senior Nate Campos a year ago, Pinkerton Academy quarterback Tim Hersom was looking to make a bit of an introductory statement about himself to Windham High and anyone else around Division I who might be paying attention on Saturday afternoon.
On the junior captain’s first carry of the season, a keeper right at the Astros’ bench, Hersom saw the Jaguar defender charging and lowered his shoulder for one of “those” collisions.
It was a 5-yard gain that might as well have been 50 as far as his teammates were concerned.
The bench erupted.
Of course, in the eye of that storm was veteran coach Brian O’Reilly, who knows that he needs a healthy Hersom for more than just the first quarter of Game 1.
The coach called the QB over and appeared to offer the option of potentially a pump-fake to at least slow down the oncoming freight train or maybe even try to side-step the hit.
Later in the game, Hersom was pressed into service as the long-snapper on punts -- a job he handles very well by the way -- and was the first man down the field on two different occasions covering the kick.
So, yeah, he’s not your typical QB.
Simone Says Resilience
To play Division I varsity football in New Hampshire, mental toughness is a must.
Salem High senior Gavin Simone showed plenty of that on Friday night against Manchester Central.
“It was his first real varsity action,” said coach Steve Abraham. “He picked up some good rushing yards for us and came up with a couple key plays.”
Simone scored Salem’s first TD, a 2-yard run. But it was how the game unfolded and how he responded that had the coach so charged up.
“He was heartbroken. He had a (sure) pick-six that he dropped, and the next play they threw a touchdown over him,” said Abraham. “But he was so resilient and came back to play a great game. He got us key first downs to keep drives alive to allow us to score the points in the second half. It was a big effort for a senior who has never played varsity.”
Odds and ends from Week 1
If you like high school football highlights, there are plenty of athletes from around the region to follow.
This week I’m going to suggest Windham’s Tiger An (@Tiger_An43), who promises a video package this week from his performance against Pinkerton.
As someone who witnessed it first-hand, just let me say it’s one you don’t want to miss. …
There was one eye-opener around the Granite State over the weekend. It had to be Concord hanging tough before falling to defending state champ Londonderry, 34-24.
It was a 21-17 game at the break, meaning the Tide has certainly stepped into the playoff conversation.
Also, remember that Concord is in the Central Conference, along with local combatants Pinkerton, Salem and Windham.

Miner raves about the ONE 'bizarre' essential everyone who works outside in boots needs: 'It will change your life'
- Miner Mitch Cooper has revealed the one 'bizarre' essential tradies all need
- He says people working in the mines need to invest in some bamboo socks
- He claims cotton socks 'leave your feet feeling like they are rotting'
A miner has revealed the one 'must-have' piece of equipment for anyone looking to start working in the sector or anybody who works in a trade: bamboo socks
Miner Mitch Cooper made a video highlighting the 'bizarre' must-have recently, promising people they will thank him for the unsolicited advice later.
'Don’t get caught out with rancid boots and feet, invest in bamboo socks,' he said in the caption of the video.
A miner has revealed the one 'must-have' piece of equipment for anyone looking to start working in the sector: bamboo socks
Mitch claims cheap cotton socks' or synthetic substitutes 'make your feet stink'.
He warns the would-be miners they will be wearing their shoes for 14 hours each day.
'Cotton socks are going to make your boots stink, make your feet stink and they are going to feel like they are rotting your feet,' he said.
He then issued a warning for the socks he loves, admitting 'they do take a long time to dry'.
He added workers need to prepare to have them in the dryer for 'a couple of hours' or have a washing line set up inside their rooms so they can hang overnight.
'Don’t get caught out with rancid boots and feet, invest in bamboo socks,' he said in the caption of the video
The miner's fans, fellow miners, agreed with his video '100 percent'.
Some added that the bamboo socks 'don't rub' making them more comfortable than regular socks.

The No. 15 Michigan State Spartans defeated the Mid-American Conference’s Western Michigan Broncos on Friday night, by a final score of 35-13. But all was anything but easy when fans striped Spartan Stadium under the lights.
Junior quarterback Payton Thorne completed 12 of 24 pass attempts, threw for 233 yards, and tied Connor Cook a program record for number of games with four or more passing touchdowns (four). He also threw an interception on a questionable Patrick Mahomes-like cross-field pass on the run.

While MSU fans may have wanted to see more domination from their Spartans against an unranked MAC team, there were some positive takeaways. Then again, some of them weren’t so great. Let’s dig into what we saw.
Jacoby Windmon, Jalen Berger and other transfers
UNLV senior transfer Jacoby Windmon dominated in his MSU debut with four sacks on Broncos freshman quarterback Jack Salopek, plus a forced fumble. He finished the night with seven total tackles. Windmon has since been named Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week.
The pass rush didn’t let up all game, as Michigan State’s defense had seven sacks by the end of the night. In addition to Windmon’s four sacks, fellow transfers Khris Bogle (Florida) and Aaron Brule (Mississippi State) also took down the quarterback. Chester Kimbrough, who returned this season after transferring from Florida in 2021, recorded a sack as well.
It was nice to see sophomore running back, Wisconsin transfer, Jalen Berger have a good game, highlighted by a 50-yard run. Berger ran for 120 yards, averaging 7.5 yards per attempt, and scored a touchdown. Last season, Doak Walker Award and Walter Camp Award winner Kenneth Walker III averaged 6.2 yards per rushing attempt on the season. Walker only had four games with more than 7.5 yards per attempt. Not to compare Berger to Walker overall, but just goes to show that Berger had a productive first outing as a Spartan.
The offensive line’s slight improvement should allow Michigan State to achieve balance on offense, at least. In 2021, MSU relied on trickery to confuse and mislead the defense, because Michigan State was such a threat on the ground. It opened up the big play.
Colorado senior transfer running back Jarek Broussard had a nice game as well, rushing for 54 yards, averaging a decent 5.4 yards per rush attempt. Washington State transfer offensive lineman Brian Greene played 25 snaps as well and earned an overall grade of 60.3 and a pass-blocking grade of 81.4.
Struggles on offense
Michigan State didn’t have much possession of the ball. In fact, Western Michigan held onto the ball for almost twice as long as MSU and over 60 percent of the game (37:22-22:38). That’s a problem.
A little past the midway point of the fourth quarter, MSU only held an eight-point lead. If not for streaks of touchdowns in the first half after the Broncos went up 3-0 early, the Spartans may not have won the game.
Not to mention, Western Michigan turned the ball over twice, including fumbling in the red zone one time and fumbling again in MSU territory the other time. If even one of those possessions is converted into a touchdown, that final score could’ve looked a little different. Thorne’s ill-advised pass across his body, of course, wasn’t a good look, especially since the veteran quarterback had room to run. It’s a play that Thorne called “stupid” after the game.
This is Thorne’s offense now. Michigan State fans have heard so much this offseason about how mature Thorne is. While yes, his pre-snap is above and beyond, there were some mis-steps in his decision-making on Friday. I’ve already mentioned the interception, but some throws were errant and some of the play-calling by offensive coordinator Jay Johnson didn’t really help at times.
Thorne needs to work on his deep ball, badly. Michigan State wouldn’t need to worry about Friday’s game if some more of those deep passes to both senior wide receiver Jayden Reed and sophomore Keon Coleman hit more frequently.
Thorne’s passing chart against Western Michigan looked like this:

Reed wasn’t incredibly active on Friday, as he finished with two receptions for 31 yards. He got banged up a bit during the game, but wasn’t out too long. Coleman led the receiving group with 84 yards and one touchdown. Junior Tre Mosley and freshman Germie Bernard also had receiving touchdowns.
Back to the offensive line, a lot of those questions have turned into answers. The team lost a lot of starters and depth up front. However, instead of senior Jarrett Horst starting at left tackle, it was sophomore Brandon Baldwin.
At left guard, it was senior J.D. Duplain, senior Nick Samac at center, senior Matt Carrick at right guard and junior Spencer Brown at right tackle. That was as expected.
Jack Stone, the only scholarship kicker on the roster
Senior punter Bryce Baringer made his return by pinning Western Michigan at the 4-yard-line on his first appearance of the season, a 67-yard booming kick. True freshman Jack Stone replaces kicker Matt Coghlin as the only scholarship kicker on Michigan State’s roster.
Coghlin dealt with an injury late last season, putting some uncertainty into that area for Michigan State.
Stone was able to make all five of his extra point attempts, but he did miss his only field goal attempt of the night, a 44-yarder that went wide left. Sophomore walk-on Stephen Rusnak and walk-on graduate transfer Ben Patton (Auburn), who joined the team late in fall camp, will be Stone’s top competition for the kicking job.
MSU’s kickoff specialist was Stone and he had three touchbacks on six attempts.
Injuries
After the first game of the season, there are already health concerns about some of the team’s best players. Senior safety Xavier Henderson and junior linebacker Darius Snow left in the second quarter and never returned.
Snow collided with a teammate and limped off the field. As of postgame, the severity of Henderson’s injury remains unclear. It’s also unclear how he was injured. He spent the second half on the sideline with a brace on his right leg and a towel over his face.
After the game, head coach Mel Tucker said he didn’t have an update on either player. He said he may be able to provide an update in his press conference on Monday.
Henderson is a fifth-year senior, veteran to this team and a captain, so losing him would be a massive loss for Michigan State. Snow moved to linebacker this past spring and his versatility is being used to help with matchups this season. These are potentially major losses.
Moving forward
There’s a lot to process after Week One. Michigan State should fair better against Akron next week. The Zips could barely escape FCS Saint Francis on Thursday. Thorne may not even need to play in the second half.
For the rest of the season, Michigan State can have confidence that the team will be well-prepared for in-game situations. Defeating Michigan could also prove to be an issue if the Wolverines decides to go with J.J. McCarthy as quarterback. Ohio State’s defense even looks a little vulnerable after Week One win against Notre Dame. It will be a long-shot to win against the Buckeyes, but the game should at least be watchable.
The over-under prior to this season for Michigan State in regards to a win total was 7.5. Even with seven or eight wins, the Spartans still have a lot to look forward to, but it would be surprising if MSU doesn’t hit the over here.
Last season, MSU was probably worse than the record indicated. There were a lot of close calls and lucky bounces. If the Western Michigan game is an indication, there might be more where that came from, but this team has plenty of potential as well. | https://www.theonlycolors.com/2022/9/4/23335773/michigan-state-offense-needs-improvement-if-spartans-want-to-compete-2022 | 2022-09-05T03:19:25Z | https://www.theonlycolors.com/2022/9/4/23335773/michigan-state-offense-needs-improvement-if-spartans-want-to-compete-2022 | true | 1 |
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
Prostate Cancer is the number one cancer for incidence, ahead of even bowel and breast cancers! Fellas, don't wait for symptoms to get tested.
Advertisement
These days, testing is simple and non-invasive; visit your GP and ask for a blood test - it's that simple. It could save your life. If you have symptoms, don't delay - see your doctor!
Ladies, the blokes in your lives could benefit from your encouragement, so please give them a gentle nudge to go and get tested.
Men are notorious for ignoring health issues and burying their head in the sand, so women are critically important in supporting the men in their lives and ensuring they look after their health.
Last week I met with Heather Biega and Casey Ryan of PWM Advice, who, having seen my recent social media post about prostate cancer being less funded than other cancers which occur less in the population, were both inspired to raise money for prostate cancer research.
Heather and Casey, with support from Cancer Council, and no doubt other businesses and agencies who will jump onboard, are presently planning a local fundraising event. I congratulate them for embarking on this initiative and I'll proudly support them. I will keep you all updated on their fundraising event as plans become firm.
Last week I celebrated my 50th birthday. This milestone birthday will trigger the delivery of a home bowel cancer test to be mailed to my home address, and every two years thereafter until the age of 74.
Australia really is the lucky country, because we are one of very few nations which provides its citizens a free bowel cancer test.
The test is completely free, automatically mailed directly to your address, and easy to do in the comfort and privacy of your own home - so there should be no excuses not to do it.
Last week I met with Fiona Markwick of NSW Cancer Council who shared with me some sobering facts, one of which is that less than 50 per cent of all recipients actually complete their home bowel cancer test!
Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women, and it is more common in people over the age of 50, hence the test is sent out to people from this age. Approximately 17,000 Aussies are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year.
Ninety per cent of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated, and full recovery expected if detected early enough, which the home test can help to achieve - if people actually complete it.
If not for yourself, then at least do the test for your family - because they don't want to lose you to a premature and preventable death. I'll be doing my test, so I implore you all to do the same.
Anson Street School open week
The week before last was the Anson Street School's Open Week.
I took the opportunity to visit this fantastic education facility again.
School Captains Alex and Nate provided commentary as they led me on a tour through the many areas of the school which support the 120-plus students.
The school uniquely nurtures, educates and prepares students for life beyond the school, and there is a tremendous number of professional staff that support the students through their development, which has had such a positive impact on the students.
I applaud the team at the school who work so tirelessly and passionately for these amazing students - well done.

It's had a positive impact upon many of the regular attendees, and for those who come along there have been friendships forged around the sizzling hot plate.
Now that the weather is warming up a bit, a barbecue in the peaceful setting of Cook Park is even more appealing.
I'll be hosting the next Mr Perfect barbecue at Cook Park in Orange, near the corner of Kite and Clinton Streets. The barbecue will kick-off at 11.30am this Sunday, September 11, and it's completely free of charge.
Guys, you're all welcome to attend. I'd love to see as many of you as possible turn out for this event.

MALDA: A fish trader was arrested from Malda's Gazole on Sunday after the CID found nearly Rs 1.4 crore from his home. The cops suspect the cash seized from 42-year-old Jayprakash Saha was proceeds from a cross-border drugs trade.
The arrest left the entire locality, including Saha's immediate neighbours, completely surprised. There was nothing in his lifestyle that even hinted at opulence, they said.
Around 10.30am, when a 10-member team of plainclothes CID officers turned up at Saha's nondescript home, everyone was taken by surprise. Saha, who keeps a low profile, trades in fish by leasing ponds in the locality.
As the officers stepped inside the house to conduct the search, Saha and his wife, Chanda Rani, were detained and the doors locked.
According to CID sources, the cash - mostly in 500- and 2,000-rupee denominations - were found stashed inside a box bed. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/west-bengal-rs-1-4-crore-of-drugs-money-seized-from-fish-trader/articleshow/93992033.cms | 2022-09-05T03:35:45Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/west-bengal-rs-1-4-crore-of-drugs-money-seized-from-fish-trader/articleshow/93992033.cms | false | null |
‘Africans must deepen culture of interaction to give meaning to AfCFTA’ - Namibian Ambassador to Ghana
Mrs Selma Ashipala-Musavyi, the Namibian Ambassador to Ghana, has called on Africans to enhance personal relationships across the Continent to advance the ideals of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA).
She said socialising across the continent would help in the appreciation of iridescent culture and build synergy for the development of trade and industry.
The Ambassador made the call at the maiden Ho Tourism, Real Estate and Investment EXPO, an initiative by the Municipal Assembly, towards promoting the business potential of the capital of the Volta Region.
She said personal relationships would build confidence among Africans and enhance the patronage of locally produced goods and services.
“For meaningful intra-Africa trade to be sustained and beneficial, Africans must interact and visit one another’s countries. In so doing, we shall embrace one another and build confidence among ourselves,” Mrs Ashipala-Musavyi said.
“We shall be exposed to and take pride in our rich and diverse African culture. Most importantly, we shall and begin to consume what we produce, and create jobs for our young people. This should be the content of intra African tourism.”
The two week fair is on the theme: “Leveraging on Agri-Technology and Agri -business Growth and Development,” and has more than 200 exhibitors, including SMEs and startups, participating.
Mrs Ashipala-Musavyi said the Ho Municipality had the “spirit and the soul” to nurture the Volta Region into the tourism hub of Ghana, and that its airport, “fabulous weather that many can only dream of,” and “captivating” topography should encourage stakeholders to advance its development.
“Above all, you have the friendly and industrious people of Ho. So I encourage the youth of Ho, to take full advantage of the emerging opportunities in intra African – tourism.”
“This is critical because, as much as the AfCFTA is about movement of goods and services, in essence it is equally about movement of African people”.
Mr Divine Bosson, the Ho Municipal Chief Executive, said the Assembly was building partnerships for the transformation of the area into a business hub and would commit to the development of strategic sectors of its economy.
He said the Expo was to promote entrepreneurship and help build sustainable industries to grow the local economy and enhance livelihoods.
“We as a Municipality, we are ready to lead potential investors to establish in our Municipality and to make it big. Ho is projected to be the best destination for capital deployment,” he said.
Mr Dela Gadzanku, Chairman of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) in the Eastern, Volta and Oti Regions, which led the private sector in the initiative, said challenges with finance affected the growth prospects of prime sectors of the Region’s economy, including agribusiness, ICT and tourism.
There existed a “steady improvement” in the economic indicators in the Region, inspiring optimism for the future, he said. | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/Africans-must-deepen-culture-of-interaction-to-give-meaning-to-AfCFTA-Namibian-Ambassador-to-Ghana-1616843 | 2022-09-05T03:39:00Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/Africans-must-deepen-culture-of-interaction-to-give-meaning-to-AfCFTA-Namibian-Ambassador-to-Ghana-1616843 | true | 5 |
The Chief Executive Officer of the Abuya Group, Iddrisu Aminu, has said that nominations for recognitions or awards in Ghana are a testament that the indigenes believe in the prospects of Ghanaian businesses.
He explained that the more companies of Ghanaian origin get recognized, regardless of the fields they are in, the bigger the boost they have to extend their tentacles into other parts of the sub-region, as well as the continent.
Iddrisu Aminu was speaking to GhanaWeb on his nomination for this year’s 40 Under 40.
Abuya and Sons Constructions Limited, which is a company under the Abuya Group, has been nominated in the category of Architecture and Interior.
Describing how he feels about the nomination, Iddrisu Amin said that it is testimony that even the smallest contributions they are making to the country’s development is acknowledged.
“The nomination is a really good one and we are so happy about it because it brings us to the realization that the little things we are doing are seen and appreciated by people. It also means that we should keep on pushing to motivate the youth,” he said.
Iddrisu Aminu also indicated that with this nomination, it pushes them better in their quest to send their businesses across the borders of Ghana.
“By and large, we are happy and we are also trying to go beyond the borders of Ghana and so when we see such nominations, it encourages us because out people are nominating us,” he added.
Speaking about his chances in the nominations, he expressed full confidence, stating that Abuya Group has been working squarely in all the areas that fall within the criteria of the organisers of the awards.
“I have a 100% surety that we will win this nomination. This is because looking at the criteria they are looking for, we squarely fall within it. We have numerous projects going on currently and these all fall within the criteria the organisers are looking for.
“Currently, we have about nine houses going on in Tse Addo, and then we have two houses almost 90-95% complete at Achimota. We also have another villa that is coming up at Paraku Estate, as well as numerous government projects including some for SSNIT at Ashanti Manpong, GCB Bank project at Bogoso in the Western Region, as well as our work with the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority where we manage the cleaning services of the main port,” he added.
The Abuya Group of Companies is a Ghanaian-owned firm, headquartered in Accra with branches in Tamale and other parts of the country.

Mexico's lower house backs giving Army control of National Guard
By Diego Oré
MEXICO CITY, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Mexico's lower house of Congress early on Saturday passed a bill to give the Army control over the civilian-led National Guard in a controversial move that critics say will unconstitutionally tighten the military's grip over law and order.
The legislative push marks something of a reversal for leftist President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who promised on the campaign trail to deemphasize the military's control over public security but has presided over record violence during nearly four years in office.
The National Guard police force began operating in early 2019 at the behest of Lopez Obrador, who argued the new law enforcement agency would end rampant corruption under its predecessor, the Federal Police.
Opposition legislators and activists have criticized the fledgling force for alleged abuses even as Lopez Obrador extends the military's remit into other areas of civilian life.
"The initiative puts at risk the validity and respect for human rights and goes against the international standards for public security," Amnesty International said before the vote.
Lopez Obrador wanted to enshrine the changes in the constitution, which includes language that public safety must be led by civilians. But facing stiff opposition, he opted to send lawmakers this week a fast-tracked bill needing just a simple majority vote versus a two-thirds super-majority.
If enacted, the legislation would give the Army operational, financial and administrative control of the guard, which currently answers to the civilian-led security ministry.
The bill now moves to the Senate for its consideration, and if passed likely would be challenged as violating the constitution.
In fact, former Supreme Court Judge Diego Valades predicts it would be handily struck down by the top court.
"It's clear it won't prevail," he said, adding that if signed into law it would be challenged and unanimously voted down as unconstitutional.

Former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry and a co-passenger killed in a car crash were not wearing seat belts, as per a preliminary probe, and over-speeding and the ''error of judgement'' by the driver caused the accident, a police official said.
Prima facie, the luxury car was speeding when the accident took place on Sunday afternoon, he said. The Mercedes car covered a distance of 20 km in just nine minutes after crossing the Charoti check post in Maharashtra's Palghar district, 120 km away from Mumbai, the official said on Sunday night. The car hit a road divider on a bridge over the Surya river, killing Mistry (54) and Jahangir Pandole on the spot.
Mistry was returning to Mumbai from Ahmedabad when the tragedy struck at 2.30 PM.
The car was driven by Mumbai-based gynaecologist Anahita Pandole (55).
She and her Darius Pandole (60) were seriously injured in the accident.
''As per preliminary investigation, over-speeding and the error of judgement caused the car accident. Both the deceased were not wearing seat belts,'' the official said.
''While analysing the footage captured by CCTV cameras at the Charoti check post, Palghar police found the car had crossed the check post at 2.21 pm and the accident took place 20 km ahead (in the direction of Mumbai),'' he said.
This shows the car covered a distance of 20 km (from the check post) in just nine minutes, the official said, adding that the accident took place at 2.30 pm on the Surya river bridge.
Mistry and Jahangir Pandole were in the back seats. Darius Pandole was in the front seat and his wife Anahita Pandole was at the wheel, police said.
An eye-witness had said a woman was driving the car and tried to overtake another vehicle from the left side, but lost control and crashed into the road divider.
The bodies of Mistry and Jahangir Pandole were sent to the state-run J J Hospital in Mumbai for postmortem, the official said.
Jahangir Pandole was the brother of Darius Pandole, a former independent director of the Tata Group of companies.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who holds the home portfolio, has asked police to conduct a detailed investigation into the accident.

Former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry was killed in a road accident near Mumbai on Sunday. According to Palghar Police, Mistry was travelling from Ahmedabad to Mumbai when his car hit the divider. Four persons were travelling in the car, two of whom died on the spot including Mistry, and the other two were shifted to the hospital.
Speaking to ANI, Dr Shubham Singh said, "At first, two patients were brought which included Cyrus Mistry and Jahangir Dinsha Pandol. Both of them were brought dead.

According to the Superintendent of police, Palghar, Balasaheb Patil, the accident happened due to the driver's loss of control due to overspeeding.
"Primarily it seems that the accident happened due to the driver's loss of control. More details will be revealed only after the investigation, but prima facie it seems that the accident happened due to overspeeding and the driver not getting the right judgement. There were 4 people in the car, one of whom was a woman and the woman was driving the car. At present, the woman is injured and is undergoing treatment," the police official said.
The official noted the presence of "blind spots" at various places on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway and stated that the subject has been placed before the Blind Spot Eradication Committee.
"Efforts are also being made by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to eliminate these blind spots," the SP said.

Canada hunts suspects in stabbing spree that killed 10, wounded 15
"As Canadians, we mourn with everyone affected by this tragic violence, and with the people of Saskatchewan." Police named the two suspects as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, providing photos and descriptions but no further details about their motive or the victims. A statement by indigenous leaders indicated the attacks may have been drug related.
Canadian police hunted for two suspects in a stabbing spree that killed 10 people and wounded at least 15 others mostly in a sparsely populated indigenous community early Sunday. The stabbings across 13 crime scenes were among the deadliest mass killings in modern Canadian history and certain to reverberate throughout the country, which is unaccustomed to bouts of mass violence more commonly seen in the United States.
"I am shocked and devastated by the horrific attacks today," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement. "As Canadians, we mourn with everyone affected by this tragic violence, and with the people of Saskatchewan." Police named the two suspects as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, providing photos and descriptions but no further details about their motive or the victims.
A statement by indigenous leaders indicated the attacks may have been drug related. "This is the destruction we face when harmful illegal drugs invade our communities," said Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations. The group represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan.
A mother of two was among the 10 people killed, local media reported, citing the woman's former partner. "It's sick how jail time, drugs and alcohol can destroy many lives," Michael Brett Burns told the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.
In May, Myles Sanderson was listed as "unlawfully at large" by Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers, a program that encourages the public to cooperate with police. There were no further details about why he was wanted. The two men were seen traveling in a black Nissan Rogue and spotted in the city of Regina, about 320 km (200 miles) south of the attacks in the James Smith Cree Nation and the village of Weldon, police said.
"It appears that some of the victims may have been targeted, and some may be random. So to speak to a motive would be extremely difficult at this point in time," Rhonda Blackmore, commanding officer of the Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police, told a news conference. There may be additional injured victims who transported themselves to various hospitals, police said.
James Smith Cree Nation is an indigenous community with a population of about 3,400 people largely engaged in farming, hunting and fishing. Weldon is a village of some 200 people. The nation's elected elders declared a state of emergency "in response to the numerous murders and assaults on members of the James Smith Cree Nation," and established two emergency operations centers, the nation said in a statement.
Indigenous people account for less than 5% of Canada's population of about 38 million and suffer from higher levels of poverty, unemployment and a lower life expectancy than other Canadians. Trudeau said his government had been in direct communication with the James Smith Cree Nation leadership, adding, "we are ready to assist in any way we can."
The first stabbings were reported at 5:40 a.m. (1140 GMT) and within three hours police issued a province-wide dangerous persons alert. By the afternoon, similar alerts were also issued in Saskatchewan's neighboring provinces Alberta and Manitoba. Police bulletins urged people to report any suspicious people and to take precautions including sheltering in place, while warning against picking up hitchhikers or approaching suspicious people.
"Do not leave a secure location. Use caution allowing others into your residence," one advisory said. A police alert issued shortly after midday said they may be in Regina, one of the province's largest cities, where a large police presence was already mobilized because of a Canadian football game at Mosaic Stadium near the center of town.
However, Blackmore said it was unknown where the suspects might be headed or if they had changed vehicles. "It is horrific what has occurred in our province today," Blackmore said, calling the attacks one of the largest if not the largest in recent history in the province.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority activated an emergency response bringing in additional staff to treat to victims, later declaring it over as "the risk of a high influx of patient transfers due to this situation is no longer prominent." "We can confirm that multiple people have been triaged and cared for at multiple sites and that a call for additional staff to help respond to this situation has occurred," the health authority said in a statement.

In a triumphant world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale received a seven-minute standing ovation inside the Sala Grande on Sunday evening. Star Brendan Fraser was visibly moved as he was embraced by his director while extended applause rang throughout the auditorium.
The psychological drama was met with strong response throughout the day with Fraser getting top notes for his leading turn. He plays Charlie, a reclusive English teacher living with severe obesity, who attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter for one last chance at redemption.
Venice Film Festival 2022 Photo Gallery
Aronofsky directs from a screenplay written by Samuel D Hunter, based on Hunter’s 2012 play of the same name. Also starring are Hong Chau, Sadie Sink, Ty Simpkins and Samantha Morton.
In his review, Deadline’s Damon Wise wrote that Fraser’s “all-in performance… makes adjectives such as ‘brave’ and ‘fearless’ seem almost meaningless” and said The Whale is “cutting the line to put a never-better Brendan Fraser at the front of the Best Actor race.”
Fraser himself earlier today called the role of Charlie “the biggest challenge” of his career and said the character “is the most heroic man I have ever played because his superpower is to seek the good in others and bring that out in them. In that process, he’s on his journey of salvation.”
Asked about his own roller-coaster career which saw Fraser as an action star in The Mummy and George of the Jungle, before withdrawing from Hollywood and followed by a recent comeback in TV series like The Affair and films including the upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon, the actor sounded philosophical, “I looked different in those days. My journey to where I am now has been to explore as many characters as I can. I’m looking forward to how this film makes a deep impression on everyone as much as it has on me.”
Today also marked a return for Aronofsky, coming back to Venice following his divisive 2017 Mother! He first staked his claim on the Lido with The Fountain in 2006, but it was the double whammy of The Wrestler and Black Swan (in 2008 and 2010, respectively) that pretty much established Venice as an Oscar launching pad.
A24 releases The Whale domestically on December 9.

Bed Bath & Beyond finance chief falls to his death in NY
By Monica Miller
BBC News, Singapore
- Published
Authorities in New York City have confirmed the death of Bed Bath & Beyond's chief financial officer.
Police say 52-year-old Gustavo Arnal fell from a Manhattan skyscraper known as the "Jenga" tower on Friday.
Mr Arnal joined the company in May 2020 during the pandemic, and previously worked at cosmetic brand Avon and consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble.
The big-box chain in the US has been facing financial trouble, recently announcing store closures and job cuts.
Shares in the company have been volatile, being viewed as a "meme" stock driven by social media buzz.
"The entire Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. organization is profoundly saddened by this shocking loss," said Harriet Edelman, Independent Chair of the Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. Board of Directors.
"Gustavo will be remembered by all he worked with for his leadership, talent and stewardship of our Company. I am proud to have been his colleague, and he will be truly missed by all of us at Bed Bath & Beyond and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him," she added.
Bed Bath & Beyond made headlines recently after activist investor Ryan Cohen announced in late August that he was abruptly selling all of his stock in the company.
Mr Arnal and Mr Cohen were also sued over accusations of artificially inflating the company's stock price in a "pump and dump" scheme. The class action lawsuit accuses Mr Arnal of selling off his shares at a higher price after the scheme.
Bed Bath & Beyond said it was "in the early stages of evaluating the complaint, but based on current knowledge the company believes the claims are without merit".
The home and bath goods company has been struggling for some time due to a slump in sales and growing debt. The retailer has warned of a 26% drop in same-store sales for the April to June quarter.
Bed Bath & Beyond also hired a new chief executive, Mara Sirhal to help the struggling retailer.
The company's stock has been highly volatile in recent months. It became viewed as a "meme" stock, which is driven more by sentiment on social media rather than traditional economic sentiment.

Netflix Wants First Knives Out Movie Ahead of Glass Onion Premiere
After Knives Out wowed audiences and critics alike, Netflix jumped headfirst into the world of the murder mystery, snagging up rights to two direct sequels. Both sequels, Glass Onion and an unnamed third Knives Out flick, are written and shot by Rian Johnson and will debut exclusively on the streamer. The only problem is despite dropping nearly $500 million to acquire the franchise rights, Netflix was unable to land licensing rights to the original picture.
That means that as it stands now, when Glass Onion hits Netflix this Christmas, subscribers won't be able to watch Knives Out on the same service before hand. The latest report of the licensing struggles comes from Matthew Beloni's Puck News, which says talks are ongoing between Netflix and Lionsgate though the latter isn't in a rush to license to its competitor after losing out on producing the sequels.
Though set in the Knives Out world, the only character returning for Glass Onion is Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc. The star-studded ensemble for the sequel includes Edward Norton, Madelyn Cline, Kathryn Hahn, Dave Bautista, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Kate Hudson, Ethan Hawke, and Janelle Monae.
"You try and invite people that you like. But the reality is you never know. At the end of the day, just trying to get the best actors in each part, the actors that are most right for each individual part," Johnson told Netflix in regards to the cast. "So, you also just throw the dice and hold your breath. Luckily, we got a great group that really meshed."
"Blanc was always outside of the sphere of our protagonist and was a little bit more of an enigma in the first movie," Johnson added. "Whereas, in this one, Blanc gets an invitation to come to this murder mystery on this island."
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery arrives on Netflix this December 23rd. Ahead of its public release, the film's world premiere comes at TIFF next month and will close out the BFI London Film Festival on October 16th. | https://comicbook.com/movies/news/netflix-didnt-get-knives-out-rights-glass-onion/ | 2022-09-05T04:16:58Z | https://comicbook.com/movies/news/netflix-didnt-get-knives-out-rights-glass-onion/ | false | 1 |
Cal Raleigh, Mariners finish sweep of Guardians
Cal Raleigh hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning to help the visiting Seattle Mariners to a 6-3 win against the Cleveland Guardians and complete a three-game sweep on Sunday.
Julio Rodriguez had four hits, including a solo home run, and scored twice for Seattle, which has won seven in a row.
The series finale took more than eight hours to complete due to a rain delay of just over 4 1/2 hours.
Mariners rookie right-hander George Kirby allowed one run and three hits in three innings before the rain ended his day.
Matthew Boyd (1-0) pitched the 10th to earn the win, and Chris Flexen pitched the 11th for his second save for Seattle.
Cleveland right-hander Cal Quantrill allowed three runs (two earned) and five hits in three innings.
Josh Naylor had two hits and an RBI for the Guardians, who have lost five straight to fall into a tie for first in the AL Central with the Minnesota Twins.
Neither team scored in the 10th, and Trevor Stephan (4-4) started the 11th for the Guardians with Eugenio Suarez on second.
J.P. Crawford delivered an RBI single for a 4-3 lead before Raleigh homered over the right field fence, his 22nd bomb of the season, to make it 6-3.
The Mariners put their first two batters on base in the fourth when the rain delay began.
When play resumed, Sam Hentges took over on the mound for the Guardians and hit Adam Frazier with a pitch to load the bases. Crawford hit into a double play, but a run scored to extend the lead to 3-1.
The Indians scored a run in the seventh and another in the eighth to tie the score 3-3.
Andres Gimenez walked to start the seventh, stole second, went to third on a ground out and scored an infield single by Austin Hedges.
Amed Rosario singled to start the eighth, stole second and went to third on an error on the catcher. He then scored on a two-out single by Oscar Gonzalez to knot the score.
Ty France gave the Mariners a 1-0 lead with an RBI double in the first.
The Guardians, who had combined for one run in their previous four games, scored in the bottom of the first to tie the score 1-1.
Jose Ramirez reached on a two-out infield single and scored on a double into the right-center field gap by Naylor.
Rodriguez went deep in the third, his 23rd of the season, to move the Mariners back in front 2-1.

New rules governing the visa residency system streamline how visitors can enter the UAE.
From September 5, the Emirates will have 10 different types of visit and tourist visas ― catering for everything from tourists coming to see the Burj Khalifa to people wanting to seek out business opportunities.
The biggest overhaul of the visa residency system in years, announced by the Cabinet in April this year, will make it easier for people to visit and explore job opportunities for longer ― standard 60 days rather than the previous 30 days ― and does not require a sponsor or host.
The National breaks down the changes in the visa options for non-residents, which will come into effect this month.
If the visa is not arranged by a local organisation or company, people visiting Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates can apply for the relevant entry permit through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security, while those coming to Dubai can apply through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners in Dubai.
Both authorities allow entry permits to be renewed without the need to leave the country. The new costs of each visa have not been announced yet, but some require a deposit of between Dh1,500 and Dh2,000.
Tourist visa
People who are not eligible for visa on arrival or a visa-free entry for citizens of GCC countries can apply for a tourist visa. Females under the age of 18 are not eligible to apply for this type of visa unless they are travelling with their parents.
The visa can be arranged through the national airlines ― Emirates, Etihad Airways, Fly Dubai and Air Arabia ― provided you are flying with them.
Licensed travel agents and hotels in the UAE can also arrange a tourist visa provided you book and maintain a reservation with the specific hotel.
Travel agencies in the traveller's home country can also arrange a visa through a tourist package in collaboration with a licensed tour operator in the UAE.
Multi-entry tourist visa
A five-year multi-entry visa for tourists, announced in March 2021, allows visitors to enter several times during a calendar year or stay for 90 days at a time and extend it for another 90 days.
The entire period of stay should not exceed 180 days in one year.
This visa does not require a sponsor but it does require proof of having a bank balance of $4,000 or its equivalent in foreign currencies during the six months before applying.
The new Entry and Residence Scheme offers 10 types of entry visas with simplified requirements and more benefits. New visas require no host or sponsor, offer more flexibility, multi entry, 60 days validity and one unified platform to apply at pic.twitter.com/0PsCJYaoyR

Sewald allowed an inherited runner to score on one hit in one-third of an inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's 6-3 extra-innings win over the Guardians.
Sewald couldn't prevent a run from scoring on an Oscar Gonzalez single in the eighth inning after Erik Swanson put Amed Rosario aboard. This went down as Sewald's fourth blown save of the year, though he's added 17 saves and six holds while functioning as the Mariners' primary closer for much of the year. The right-hander has a 2.45 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 62:15 K:BB through 55 innings this season. He hasn't been charged with a run over 4.1 innings in his last five appearances. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/mariners-paul-sewald-charged-with-blown-save-850835/ | 2022-09-05T04:37:26Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/mariners-paul-sewald-charged-with-blown-save-850835/ | true | null |
Candidates can get away with using campaign donations to travel to an insurrection, according to a new Federal Election Commission decision—as long as they’re thrifty.
That’s the upshot for Derrick Van Orden, the Republican congressional candidate from Wisconsin who dipped into donor funds to bankroll a trip to D.C., where, as The Daily Beast reported last year, he appeared on Capitol grounds during the Jan. 6 riot.
On Friday, the commissioners published their unanimous July 26 decision to dismiss allegations that Van Orden’s Jan. 6 travel expenses constituted unlawful personal use of campaign money—though they did not technically rule it was legal, either.
Instead, the commissioners didn’t even take up the merits of the case, arguing that the amount of money involved was too small to move ahead with further enforcement action. The agency’s general counsel made the same recommendation in its report, writing that even if the expenses were personal in nature, the amount in question—a few hundred dollars—was so small that it “does not merit the expenditure of further Commission resources to pursue.”
As often happens in politically charged decisions, the Democratic and Republican commissioners released competing explanations. In this case, those statements had one key difference: The Democrats condemned the expenses; the Republicans were silent.
Democratic commissioners Ellen Weintraub and Shana Broussard were blunt, writing that the decision “should not be construed” as legitimizing the use of campaign donations to disrupt the democratic process.
“Although it is our hope that the events of January 6th are never to be repeated—and this really should not need to be said—we wish to make clear that funding activities that seek to overturn by violence the results of a lawful election is not a permissible use of campaign funds,” their statement said.
Their Republican counterparts also cited the small amount of money involved, but did not take the extra step of condemning the act on principle.
FEC regulations state that travel costs must be “directly related to the campaign.” Van Orden wrote off around $4,000 in transportation and lodging costs for him, his wife, and a staffer. He had just lost his 2020 race, and hadn’t yet declared his 2022 candidacy.
The Van Orden campaign argued the trip was related to pre-scheduled “political meetings,” and that the expenses would be justified because the Jan. 6 rally was “inherently political, akin to any other [p]arty event or committee fundraiser.”
“There is so much that is wrong with that statement,” the Democratic commissioners wrote.
“Activities to disrupt the certification of a presidential election are in no way akin to a party event or fundraiser,” they said in their statement. “The actions of those who breached the Capitol, assaulted Capitol police, and committed various forms of violence, trespass, and assault were illegal. And as the Act makes clear, a contribution may only be used for a lawful purpose.”
Asked for comment, Van Orden characterized the complaint as a “weaponization of government,” and called on his Democratic opponent, Wisconsin state senator Brad Pfaff, to retract his claims about the allegations.
“The Democratic Party of Wisconsin filed a complaint that was summarily dismissed due to its obvious political motivation,” Van Orden said, falsely. (The complaint was dismissed because of the amount of money involved; the Democratic commissioners also voted to dismiss.)
“The Democrats did this in an effort to distract from their record of ruining the country over the last two years they have had unchecked power,” he continued. “This is the type of weaponization of government that every American should be wary of and every time my opponent rehashes this proven false claim, he is lying directly to you.”
Van Orden also said he expects “a full retraction” from The Daily Beast, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and Pfaff.
Last June, The Daily Beast reported that Van Orden had not only attended the rally, but, according to social media posts from the time, had been inside a restricted area on Capitol grounds. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/feds-let-gop-candidate-derrick-van-orden-pay-jan-6-costs-with-campaign-cash | 2022-09-05T04:53:39Z | https://www.thedailybeast.com/feds-let-gop-candidate-derrick-van-orden-pay-jan-6-costs-with-campaign-cash | false | 1 |
Mumbai: Former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry and a co-passenger killed in a car crash were not wearing seat belts, as per a preliminary report, and speeding and the ‘error of judgement’ by the driver caused the accident, a police official said. Prima facie, the luxury car was speeding when the accident took place on Sunday afternoon, he said.
The Mercedes car covered a distance of 20 km in just nine minutes after crossing the Charoti check post in Maharashtra’s Palghar district, 120 km away from Mumbai, the official said on Sunday night. The car hit a road divider on a bridge over the Surya river, killing Mistry (54) and Jahangir Pandole on the spot. Mistry was returning to Mumbai from Ahmedabad when the tragedy struck at 2.30pm. The car was driven by Mumbai-based gynaecologist Anahita Pandole (55). She and Darius Pandole (60) were seriously injured in the accident.
‘As per preliminary investigation, over-speeding and the error of judgement caused the car accident. Both the deceased were not wearing seat belts,’ the official said. ‘While analysing the footage captured by CCTV cameras at the Charoti check post, Palghar police found the car had crossed the check post at 2.21 pm and the accident took place 20 km ahead (in the direction of Mumbai)’, he said. This shows the car covered a distance of 20 km (from the check post) in just nine minutes, the official said, adding that the accident took place at 2.30 pm on the Surya river bridge. Mistry and Jahangir Pandole were in the back seats. Darius Pandole was in the front seat and his wife Anahita Pandole was at the wheel, police said.
An eye-witness had said a woman was driving the car and tried to overtake another vehicle from the left side, but lost control and crashed into the road divider. The bodies of Mistry and Jahangir Pandole were sent to the state-run J J Hospital in Mumbai for postmortem, the official said. Jahangir Pandole was the brother of Darius Pandole, a former independent director of the Tata Group of companies. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who holds the home portfolio, has asked police to conduct a detailed investigation into the accident. | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/09/05/over-speeding-seat-belt-not-worn-police-explains-cause-of-cyrus-mistrys-death.html | 2022-09-05T04:58:01Z | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/09/05/over-speeding-seat-belt-not-worn-police-explains-cause-of-cyrus-mistrys-death.html | false | 6 |
FIDF community hosts former IDF soldier and scholarship recipient success story
Two Friends of the IDF (FIDF) North Texas Parlor Meetings were held last month in support of a premier college scholarship program available to Israel Defense Forces (IDF) veterans from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
A former first sergeant and IMPACT! Scholarship recipient was on-hand at the intimate gatherings to relay the importance his scholarship played in shaping the trajectory of his life.
Dallas FIDF supporters welcomed Doron Gabay, former first sergeant of the Haruv Infantry Unit, with open arms at two Dallas-area homes. Doron first shared his story on Aug. 14 at the home of Debbie and Geoff Malafsky, the couple who put him on the path to success 20 years ago with the donation of an IMPACT! Scholarship.
Doron served during both the Second Intifada and the Lebanon War. His family was poor, and his father worked three jobs to make ends meet. Medical costs resulting from an accident that his brother was in, as well as treatment for his mother when she was diagnosed with brain cancer, drained his family of everything they had, crushing his dreams of a college education. Thanks to the generosity of the Malafskys, and the network of opportunities provided to him via IMPACT!, Doron graduated from Bar-Ilan University and today runs three successful businesses in Tucson, Arizona.
The IMPACT! Scholarship Program provides four-year college scholarships to veteran combat and combat support soldiers, enabling them to pursue higher education. This exclusive, one-of-a-kind program also provides funds to cover living expenses and gives recipients the unique benefit of direct contact with their sponsors. Scholarship recipients are required to put in 130 hours of community service, and benefit from an unbelievable network of graduates.
“Although we support Israel through multiple organizations, we felt there was a gap where we could directly and concretely help people who could grow and become strong productive members of Israel and the global Jewish community, and FIDF’s IMPACT! program fit our desire perfectly,” said Debbie Malafsky. “IMPACT! provides critical educational opportunities while fostering connections to deserving former soldiers who donors can have lifelong relationships with. It is rare to see such direct positive benefits, making FIDF’s IMPACT! program one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences for both us and our lifelong friend.”
The following evening, Doron was hosted by Grant and Heather Frankfurt at the home of Dena and Eric Frankfurt.
“Doron’s story exemplifies the power that an education can have — on one’s life, and also the lives of an entire family,” said Grant Frankfurt. “His college degree and work ethic pulled the entire Gabay family out of poverty, and none of this would have been possible without the opportunity for a college education, provided by FIDF. The ability to see and feel the impact of every dollar we give to FIDF makes me proud to be a North Texas FIDF board member.”
On Sept. 14, FIDF will host the North Texas Gala honoring local leader and philanthropist, Ari Susman.

London (AFP), Sep 5 – The UK will learn Monday who will be its next prime minister, with Liz Truss the favourite to succeed Boris Johnson and take charge as the country battles a spiralling cost-of-living crisis.
The result will be announced at 12:30 pm (1130 GMT), after foreign minister Truss and her rival, former finance minister Rishi Sunak, spent the summer rallying support among the Conservative Party members who cast the final vote.
If she wins, Truss will become the UK’s third female prime minister following Theresa May and Margaret Thatcher.
The 47-year-old has consistently been ahead of 42-year-old Sunak in polling among the estimated 200,000 Tory members eligible to vote.
The leadership contest began in July after Johnson announced his resignation following a slew of scandals and resignations from his government.
Postal and online voting closed Friday after eight weeks of campaigning that Truss described to the BBC as “the longest job interview in history”.
The vote may not reflect general public opinion, however.
A YouGov poll in late August found 52 percent thought Truss would make a “poor” or “terrible” prime minister.
Forty-three percent said they did not trust her “at all” to deal with the burning issue of the rise in the cost of living.
– ‘Worst in-tray’ –
Whoever emerges as winner faces “the worst in-tray for a new prime minister since Thatcher”, The Sunday Times wrote.
The UK is gripped by its worst cost-of-living crisis in generations, with inflation soaring into double digits and energy prices shooting up on the back of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Millions say that with bills set to rise by 80 percent from October — and even higher from January — they face a painful choice between eating and heating this winter, according to surveys.
“If I’m elected prime minister, I will act immediately on bills and on energy supply,” Truss told the BBC on Sunday, while declining to give details.
“Within one week I will make sure there is an announcement on how we are going to deal with the issue,” she added.
Truss has campaigned on a promise to slash taxes and prioritise economic growth, just as Britain is tipped to enter recession later this year.
She said Sunday she would “within a month present a full plan for how we are going to reduce taxes” and “get the British economy going”.
Sunak has vowed further government support to help people pay their energy bills and said curbing inflation would be his priority, attacking Truss’s tax-slashing plans as reckless.
“Helping people with the cost of living and energy bills comes above everything else that I might like to do,” he told the BBC on Sunday.
“We shouldn’t rule anything out. I mean, we’re facing a genuine emergency. I think anyone pretending that that isn’t the situation isn’t being straight with the country,” he said.
Polls show public support for an early general election and the Conservatives face a growing challenge to retain their 12-year grip on power.
Truss became foreign minister a year ago after holding a series of ministerial posts in departments including education, international trade and justice.
She began her political journey as a teenage member of the centrist Liberal Democrats before switching to the right-wing Conservatives.
In 2016, she campaigned for the UK to remain in the European Union but quickly switched allegiance when Britons backed Brexit.
Her dress sense and love of photo opportunities — posing in a tank in Estonia and wearing a fur hat in Moscow — have earned her comparisons to Tory icon Thatcher.
Her sometimes stiff style has become visibly more relaxed and allies have sought to soften her image, revealing her love of karaoke and socialising.
– Highland ceremony –
The announcement Monday by Conservative Party officials of who will take over the leadership sets in motion a chain of events.
On Tuesday, Johnson will deliver a farewell speech at Downing Street.
He will then formally tender his resignation to Queen Elizabeth II, after which she will appoint his successor in a so-called kissing of hands ceremony.
For the first time in her reign, the 96-year-old monarch will appoint the prime minister at her Scottish retreat, Balmoral, rather than at Buckingham Palace in London.
This comes as the queen has suffered mobility problems and been forced to cancel a number of public engagements.
The next prime minister will be the 15th since the queen took the throne. | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/09/uk-to-learn-name-of-new-prime-minister-after-long-vote/ | 2022-09-05T05:09:41Z | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/09/uk-to-learn-name-of-new-prime-minister-after-long-vote/ | true | 9 |

Erik Jones took the lead when Kyle Busch's engine blew up, then pulled away from Denny Hamlin after a final restart 20 laps from the end to win the opening NASCAR Cup Series playoff race at Darlington Raceway on Sunday night.
Hamlin, seeded sixth in the playoffs, closed in on Jones’ back bumper on the final lap, but couldn’t make the winning pass. Jones went on to his second career win at Darlington and third NASCAR victory.
It was also the 200th win by the iconic No. 43 car, with most tied to Hall of Famer Richard Petty.
“He said if I won, I was going to get a (cowboy) hat,” Jones laughed.
Jones became the first non-playoff driver to win the opener in NASCAR's 10-race run to a title. And he did it as many of the top seeds had breakdowns and wrecks.
Along with Busch's blow up, No. 9 seed Kevin Harvick saw his car catch fire in a scary seen. Harvick scrambled away from his stopped car to safety.
Top-seeded Chase Elliott was gone during the first stage, sliding into the wall, hitting Chase Briscoe as he tore up his suspension and was out of the race.
Sports
Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and more
Kyle Larson, the defending series champion, was three laps down in the opening stage after engine problems. Larson finished 12th.
Hamlin was second followed by three more playoff chasers in Tyler Reddick, Joey Logano and Christopher Bell. Michael McDowell was sixth, then Brad Keselowski, William Byron, Bubba Wallace
Busch led 155 of 367 laps, the most of anyone. He ended in 30th.
“It's unfortunate circumstances,” Busch said. “We just had a great car and didn't come out with anything to show for it. That's what I hate about it.”
CHASING PROBLEMS
Chase Elliott was out of the Southern 500 before it got to halfway. Elliott slid in turn one, then collected playoff participant Chase Briscoe. Elliott’s suspension was damaged. His crew could not fix it in the pits and took it to the garage.
Elliott finished 36th, last in the field. His plans going forward: “Run better than we did today.”
FIRE DRILL
The scariest incident came in the final stage when Harvick caught fire on lap 276 as he came down the front stretch. Harvick quickly pulled the car on the grass and jumped out of the car, running to safety.
Moments later during the caution brought out by Harvick, J.J. Yeley’s car headed into the pits on fire. That blaze, too, was extinguished.
Harvick said it’s another safety problem with the Next Gen car NASCAr must fix.
“What a disaster, man,” Harvick said. “No reason ... here we are in the pits with a burned up car and we can’t finish the race during the playoff” because of unreliable parts.
UP NEXT
Round one of the playoffs continues at Kansas next Sunday. Kurt Busch, currently recovering from a concussion in a crash at Pocono, won the race there in May. He gave up his playoff spot because he has not been medically cleared to return to the track. | https://www.necn.com/news/sports/erik-jones-wins-nascar-playoff-opener-at-darlington-in-famed-no-43-car/2817893/ | 2022-09-05T05:12:16Z | https://www.necn.com/news/sports/erik-jones-wins-nascar-playoff-opener-at-darlington-in-famed-no-43-car/2817893/ | false | 10 |
Joey Barton was given a 12-match ban, six of which were suspended, by the Football Association on this day in 2008 following an attack on former Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo.
Barton pleaded guilty to a charge of violent conduct from the FA and was hit with a £25,000 fine in addition to his lengthy suspension, with six of the matches suspended for two years.
The incident with Dabo had occurred in May of the previous year with Barton assaulting his former club colleague during a training-ground incident that left the French midfielder unconscious and with a detached retina.
Dabo released details of the fight to the media and requested that police press charges against his team-mate Barton, who was arrested and bailed before he was later charged with assault.
Barton was given a four-month suspended prison sentence, told to pay £3,000 in compensation to Dabo and ordered to complete 200 hours of community service.
The incident saw the Man City academy graduate suspended by his club and fined £100,000, which eventually resulted in him departing to sign for Newcastle.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have been married since 2006. Although both are celebrities in the entertainment industry, Kidman is a famous actor and Urban is a country music star. Kidman has been the inspiration for Urban’s art before, and Urban notably sang about the couple’s sex life in the song “Gemini.” While on the radio show The Kyle and Jackie O ShowKidman revealed her thoughts on Urban by making her the subject of her songs.
Keith Urban wrote the song ‘Gemini’ about Nicole Kidman
In 2018, Urban released a studio album called U graphite. The album includes a song called “Gemini”, which apparently refers to Urban’s sex life with Kidman.
Kidman was born on June 20, making her astrological sign Gemini. The song includes references to Kidman’s supposed personality, along with references to Urban’s sex life with Kidman.
At the beginning of the song, Urban highlights Kidman’s personality, singing “She’s not quite a contradiction / She rolls with it / Quick with a quick decision / I’m fine with it / Strong in her strong opinions / I’m weak for it.”
The song’s chorus includes racy lyrics about Kidman being a “bed maniac”.
In the chorus, Urban sings, “She’s a maniac in bed / But a genius in the head / And I know what everybody knows / Mm mmm, baby, she’s both.”

Toward the end of the song, Urban seemingly references his sex life with Kidman again, singing, “She’ll wake you up to make love in the middle of the night / And every breath I take is brand new.”
What Nicole Kidman Thinks About Keith Urban Singing About Her
In 2019, Kidman appeared in The Kyle and Jackie O Show, an Australian radio show. During the radio show, host Kyle Sandilands mentioned the song “Gemini” to Kidman.
When asked if she approved of the song’s lyrics, Kidman replied, “I don’t censor your art if I can be a muse for it.”
She later added, “It’s embarrassing, but at the same time it’s better than saying, ‘God, I’m so bored. Make an effort Nicole.’”
When Sandilands brought in more lyrics from the song, Kidman declined to answer any more questions about “Gemini.”
“Shut up! You’re making this up,” Kidman said. “I won’t answer that… This is outrageous!”

Why Keith Urban Wrote the Song ‘Gemini’
While Kidman might be a little embarrassed by the song “Gemini”, Urban thinks the song came from a good place. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Urban admitted that he thinks he wrote the song because he was “missing” his wife.
Urban told Entertainment Tonight that Kidman wasn’t in the studio when he made the song, saying, “No, that’s why I got so intimate, I’m sure.”
He added: “I was missing her maybe.”

- Pointing to a tight physical market, platinum lease rates remain at almost record highs
- Automotive, jewellery and industrial sectors remain resilient despite strong headwinds
- Total supply forecast down 8% in 2022
- Platinum ETF holdings and exchange stocks fall as excess China imports rise
LONDON, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) today publishes its Platinum Quarterly for the second quarter of 2022, with a revised full year forecast for 2022.
Despite resilience in the automotive, jewellery and industrial sectors, combined with reduced mining and recycling supply, a reduction in ETF holdings and exchange stocks saw a platinum surplus in Q2'22 of 349 koz, and the forecast 2022 surplus increase to 974 koz.
However, despite the surplus, physical market tightness continued throughout the second quarter and remains ongoing. Q2'22 saw the resurgence of exceptionally strong import volumes into China, significantly above identified demand, which were met largely by sizeable flows from platinum ETFs and exchange stocks. These excess imports into China, which are not captured in published supply and demand data, resulted in physical platinum market tightness. This is evidenced by elevated lease rates, that have remained high, peaking at 10% in May, higher even than those seen at the peak of the pandemic and significantly above the ten-year average. This physical market tightness also incentivised the movement of platinum held by exchanges into the spot market to help meet the China import volumes.
Total supply forecast to decline 8% in 2022
Total platinum supply in 2022 is forecast to decline 8% (-626 koz) year-on-year to 7,514 koz. Mining supply in Q2'22 was down 4% as an increase in Russian output, following a recovery from flooding in 2021, offset year-on-year declines in all other producing countries. The issues in the second quarter, combined with the depletion of semi-finished inventory that boosted refined volumes in 2021, will see total mine supply in 2022 decline 7% (-409 koz) year-on-year.
The recycling of platinum from spent autocatalysts fell by a noteworthy 20% year-on-year (-82 koz) in Q2'22, with automotive recycling forecast to be down 15% (-210 koz) in 2022. Driving this was the ongoing semiconductor chip shortage and its impact on new car availability, resulting in consumers being forced to run existing vehicles for longer, thereby reducing the supply of scrapped autocatalysts.
Resilience in automotive, jewellery and industrial sectors
Automotive demand for platinum grew 8% (+50 koz) year-on-year in Q2'22. Although the semi-conductor shortage is ongoing, it is easing and the year-on-year increase reflects higher vehicle production volumes, higher platinum loadings on heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) aftertreatment systems, particularly in China and increased use of platinum in place of palladium in light-duty gasoline vehicles. In China, however, the strict lockdowns that endured during the first six weeks of the quarter weighed on vehicle production. For full-year 2022, platinum automotive demand is expected to increase by 14% (+376 koz) to 3,015 koz.
Jewellery demand improved by 5% (+26 koz) in Q2'22, with most markets aside from a COVID-impaired China, continuing to grow. This was bolstered, in part, by considerable demand in North America and Europe due to more weddings and platinum's price remaining well below the price of gold. Platinum jewellery demand for 2022 is forecast to be 1,959koz – a slight increase on 2021.
Industrial demand saw growth in the petroleum (+17%, +7 koz), medical (+8%, +5 koz), and other industrial (+16%, +21 koz) sectors during the quarter, all of which are forecast to grow in 2022 as a whole. The growth in these sectors is masked within the overall industrial demand forecast for 2022 (-15%, -375 koz), as capacity expansions seen in 2021 in the glass and chemical sectors are not repeated this year.
Mixed investment demand obscured by physical metal flows
Global bar and coin demand strengthened quarter-on-quarter to 70 koz in Q2'22, driven by North American demand which is set to post a new post-COVID high in 2022 of 292 koz. However, in Japan, high yen-denominated platinum prices continued to encourage profit-taking among investors for the second consecutive quarter – albeit at a lower level to the previous quarter. Full-year total bar and coin investment is forecast to reduce by 14% (-47 koz).
For ETF holdings, recessionary fears, rising interest rates and weaker commodity prices were visible this quarter – mirroring the net sales trends seen in gold and silver ETFs. ETF holdings contracted by 89 koz, albeit significantly less than in the previous quarter. Following this trend, ETF holdings are expected to continue to fall in 2022, declining by a total of 550 koz.
Meanwhile, NYMEX and TOCOM warehouse stocks fell by a combined 123 koz over the quarter. This reduction helped meet the flow of physical metal from Western markets to China, and compensate for the reduced availability of refined Russian ingot due to key Russian refineries' loss of London Good Delivery status preventing its typical use. Exchange stocks are forecast to decline by 300 koz for the full year as the physical market tightness and resulting high lease rates, seen in the second quarter, are expected to persist for the rest of the year.
Paul Wilson, CEO of the World Platinum Investment Council, commented:
"The surplus we are forecasting for 2022 must be seen within the context of exceptionally strong imports of platinum into China, which are well above identified Chinese demand and were a feature once again in Q2'22. Importantly, the definition of demand in our projections does not include speculative positions outside of bar and coin, ETFs and exchange stocks, therefore this additional 'demand' from China is not captured in our published demand data. The details of the split for this material between speculative and other demand segments is still yet to become clear, however we anticipate that this will become more apparent over the next 12 months.
"Significantly, the sustained high platinum lease rates we have been seeing throughout 2022 - the highest in ten years and higher even than those seen during the peak of the pandemic when moving materials was extremely challenging - are a clear indication of shortages of physical metal in the market. Furthermore, this already tight market is underpinned by constrained mine and recycle supply, as shown in our published data.
"Despite considerable headwinds in 2022, pockets of platinum demand strength, particularly in the automotive, jewellery and industrial sectors are promising in both the near- and long-term. Platinum's role in unlocking hydrogen's crucial contribution to achieving global net zero targets is becoming widely known, and offers an option to investors looking for exposure to this area. The drive in Europe to reduce gas imports from Russia, as well as the recent passing of the US's Inflation Reduction Act, places greater importance on the need for green hydrogen and provides further incentive for investment in the sector, which benefits platinum directly."

CLAYTON — Two men held as inmates at a county jail facility managed to escape early Sunday, and had yet to be found despite a community alert and a ground search, authorities said.
According to a statement Sunday night, the inmates’ escaped was discovered around 11:20 a.m., and deputies carried out an emergency head-count and site search while notifying nearby law enforcement.
Shortly before 3:30 p.m., the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s office issued a community warning system alert asking for residents in the county’s Marsh Creek Springs area to be on the lookout for the inmates, who left the Marsh Creek Detention Facility, 12000 Marsh Creek Rd.
Hours later, a ground search yielded no sign of the men within a few miles’ perimeter of the prison, described by the sheriff’s office as a minimum-security site meant for sentenced criminals convicted ot lower-level crimes.
An earlier system alert described the men as Latino, dressed all in yellow or white.
In a statement, one man, Gerardo Ramirez-Vera, 33, of Richmond was described as about 5 foot 6 and 140 pounds with long black hair and brown eyes. Ramirez-Vera had been sentenced on burglary, vandalism and weapons charges, and had been due for release in the first week of next January.
The other man, identified as Jorge Garcia-Escamilla, 28, of Pittsburg, had been held on drug possession, possession of a stolen vehicle and burglary tools, and vehicle theft, and was due for a court appearance within three weeks.
“Both men are now facing felony charges of escape from a county detention facility and face a potential state prison sentence,” a sheriff’s spokesman said.
Residents who saw the men were advised to avoid contact and call the county sheriff at 925-646-2441.

INVESTMENT inflow by some selected banks in the country reveals that Citibank Nigeria ranked highest in the second quarter (Q2) 2022 with $450.94 million (29.37 per cent) of the total investment.
This was followed by Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria Limited with $323.24 million (21.05 per cent) and Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc with $163.92 (10.68 per cent).
According to the Nigerian Capital Importation Q2 2022 report, which was posted on the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) website last week, Nigeria’s banking heavyweights were not left out from the mix as Zenith Bank brought in $128.38 million alongside Access Bank ($101.14 million), Ecobank ($82.94 million), FCMB ($15.75 million) and the UBA and Fidelity recorded $9.70 million and $6.21 million, respectively.
Sectoral analysis showed that capital importation into banking had the highest inflow of $646.36 million amounting to 42.10 per cent of total capital imported in the second quarter of 2022.
This was followed by capital imported into the production sector, valued at $233.99 million (15.24 per cent), and the financing sector with $197.31 million (12.85 per cent).
Analysts at Cowry Assets Management Limited took a close look into how foreign investors’ appetite for investment in Nigeria at the moment.
This, they say, looks wobbly in the face of monetary policy normalisation triggered by the spiralling inflation trend across the globe and leading to capital repatriation from frontier economies such as Nigeria whose currency is weakening against the greenback as a result of unabating panic buys in the FX market.
To better explain the above, the recent capital importation data showed that during the second quarter of 2022, the total value of capital imported into Nigeria soared 75.3 per cent year-on-year and printed at $1.54 billion from $875.62 million in the same period last year.
This translates to encouraging growth, but a look at the numbers from the first quarter of 2022 showed a decrease of 2.40 per cent ($37.8 million) from $1.57 billion.
Consequently, the inflow during the period was highest through portfolio investment which accounted for more than 49 per cent or $757.3 million of the total and was supported by investors’ interest in money market instruments ($422.6 million) and Bonds ($322.04 million) during the quarter.
Trailing this category was other investment with $630.9 million where loans ($595.9 million) and other claims ($35 million) drove the performance while foreign direct investment (FDI) was just $147.2 million resulting from investment into the equities space.
“Notwithstanding the dwindling in the total inflow during the quarter, Nigeria still remains a bride for investors as capital inflow from various origins places the United Kingdom as the top-ranked source with more than 50 per cent of the total and a value of $781.05 million.
Trailing were the likes of Singapore and South Africa with capital inflow valued at $138.58 million and $122.26 million, respectively.
The UAE and United States were not left out as Nigeria still stays highly attractive to these nations, importing $103.9 million and $80.20 million in that order.

Andy Ruiz beats Ortiz by decision in heavyweight showdown
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Andy Ruiz landed just enough big punches on Luis Ortiz to make up for his mistakes and caution in a narrow victory that kept him on the path to a chance to become the heavyweight champion again.
Ruiz knocked down Ortiz three times on the way to a victory by unanimous decision Sunday night.
Former three-division world champion Abner Mares also fought to a majority draw with Miguel Flores in Mares' return from a four-year ring absence on the pay-per-view undercard. Lightweight Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz then stopped Eduardo Ramirez in the second round with two vicious knockdowns.
In the main event, Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs) grinded out a decision over Ortiz (33-3), a two-time world title challenger. The Southern California native knocked down the 43-year-old Ortiz twice in the second round and again in the seventh, but his Cuban opponent battled through a badly swollen left eye and punched more accurately during long stretches of relative inactivity for both fighters.
"I worked so hard for this fight, because I knew he´s a warrior and he hits hard," Ruiz said. "I thought I did a beautiful job boxing him around and handling his pressure."
The judges scored the bout 114-111, 114-111 and 113-112 for Ruiz. The Associated Press also had Ruiz 114-111, with the knockdowns making the difference.

Ruiz pulled off one of the bigger upsets in recent heavyweight history when he took Anthony Joshua's three championship belts in 2019, only to lose them back to his British opponent six months later. Ruiz had fought just once since, but he rededicated himself to training with hopes of getting another shot at the belts.
"I do not want to be waiting," Ruiz said. "I want to fight at least three or four times a year. I´m hungry, man. I want to be a champion again."
After entering the ring in a blue-and-gold robe and trunks featuring the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams' colors and helmet horns, Ruiz abruptly floored Ortiz early in the second round with a short right hand. Ortiz wobbled to his feet and soon slipped back down while trying to clinch with Ruiz, but he made it to the bell.
"To everyone who said that I´m old, I gave you a war today," Ortiz said. "I would want a rematch. The eye wasn´t a problem for me. Do you think I´m done after the way I fought? Do the people think I´m done? I don´t think so."
Neither fighter threw much or risked much in the next four rounds, and the crowd that loudly backed Ruiz grumbled its displeasure. But Ruiz connected again late in the seventh, staggering Ortiz before sending him to the canvas with a right to the top of the head.
"It was very difficult," Ruiz said. "I was waiting for him to load up, and countering him when he did. It was a blessing we were able to be successful."
Earlier, Cruz (24-2-1, 17 KOs) made his case for a rematch with Gervonta "Tank" Davis with his two-round demolition of Ramirez, first knocking him down face-first with a left hook to the jaw before finishing him with a combination in the corner.
Davis, who narrowly beat Cruz by decision last December, smiled as he watched the bout from ringside amid chants of: "We want Tank!" from Cruz's fans.
Mares (31-3-2) hadn't fought since his second loss to Leo Santa Cruz in June 2018. He recovered from surgery on a detached retina shortly before the start of the coronavirus pandemic, and his ring absence stretched on while he landed a commentary job with Showtime.
But Mares eventually decided he had to return, and he looked quite sharp early against Flores (25-4-1) with a series of big right hands that rocked his opponent. Mares tired in the second half, but won 96-94 on one judge's card. The other two scored it 95-95.
"Obviously it had been over four years, so I was a little off with my timing, and a little sluggish," Mares said. "But I felt good, and I thought I was landing the more powerful shots. I definitely felt like I won."
The pay-per-view card opened with an enormous upset: Edwin De Los Santos, a Dominican lightweight filling in as a late replacement opponent, battered previously unbeaten Mexican prospect José Valenzuela for a third-round stoppage victory. De Los Santos was only added to the card Wednesday when Jezreel Corrales couldn't secure a travel visa from Panama.

San Francisco: Cupertino-based tech giant Apple is set to showcase the second generation of its AirPods Pro this week that will offer several upgrades, including the next generation H1 processor. The company, that will unveil the latest iPhones and other devices at its event on September 7, will update a model that first went on sale in October 2019, reports Apple tracker Mark Gurman from Bloomberg. Apple Watch Series 3 Likely To Be Discontinued Soon: Report.
"I reported last year that new AirPods Pro would arrive in 2022, and now I'm told that Wednesday will be their big unveiling," he was quoted as saying in his newsletter.
The AirPods Pro 2 may also come with Apple's Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) or Bluetooth 5.2 support. The AirPods Pro 2 may also support in-ear wing tip design, along with a charging case that emits a sound when searching for it with Apple's Find My app.
The second-generation Apple AirPods Pro are not likely to include any fitness tracking features and won't arrive with temperature or heart rate detection this year. According to reports, the upcoming version of Apple device is likely to focus more on enhancing audio experience.

Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng on Thursday said that the United States is in no position whatsoever to cite the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) to accuse others, as it wants only the benefits of the Convention without fulfilling its obligations.
Xie made the remarks during his interview with the press on "UNCLOS at 40: Retrospect and Prospect."
When asked about the United States, not a party to UNCLOS, has accused China of violating the Convention on multiple occasions, and kept ramping up the so-called "freedom of navigation operations" in the South China Sea to challenge China's rights and claims, Xie said that as early as during the negotiations on the Convention, the United States dismissed the concerns of developing countries, persistently opposed taking the international seabed and its resources as the common heritage of mankind, and planned to set up another system outside UNCLOS to obstruct its adoption.
"While opposing the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) regime proposed by developing countries during the negotiations, the United States has claimed the world's largest EEZ after the Convention was adopted," he added.
Xie said till today, the United States is yet to ratify the Convention, but it has played up the supremacy of the Convention out of ulterior motives, arbitrarily used it as a tool to smear, contain and suppress other countries.
"The truth is that the United States wants only the benefits of the Convention without fulfilling its obligations, and is saying one thing while doing another. It is in no position whatsoever to cite UNCLOS to accuse others," Xie said.
The so-called "freedom of navigation operations" of the United States is actually intended to boycott UNCLOS regimes such as the EEZ, maintain U.S. maritime hegemony, and allow its warships and military flights to continue having their way without restraint on the sea, Xie said.
"But in recent years, the United States has put the blame on others instead, and frequently challenged other countries' maritime claims under the pretext of freedom of navigation, without any basis in international law including the Law of the Sea," he said.
Noting China's position and claims concerning the South China Sea have solid historical and legal grounds, Xie said that there has never been and will never be any problem with the freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.
The United States has breached general international law principles, including the prohibition on the threat or use of force, by flexing its military muscle to challenge other countries' claims and threaten other countries' security and maritime rights and interests, Xie added.
"Such unlawful attempts to pursue the law of the jungle at sea run counter to the trend of the times, and have been understandably firmly rejected by China and other members of the international community," he said. | http://www.ecns.cn/news/2022-09-04/detail-ihccsiks1361785.shtml | 2022-09-05T06:38:58Z | http://www.ecns.cn/news/2022-09-04/detail-ihccsiks1361785.shtml | false | 2 |

The UK's next prime minister will be announced today - will it be Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak?
The two candidates were chosen after seven weeks of voting by around 160,000 members of the Conservative party in a big leadership race.
The results of the vote will decide who will take over from Boris Johnson as the new leader of the Conservative Party and the next prime minister.
The winner will be announced at 12:30pm and they will start their new role tomorrow.
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to give a goodbye speech when he leaves on Tuesday, before handing over to the new PM.
Usually when a new prime minister is announced, they meet with the Queen at Buckingham Palace, however this year will be a bit different.
The new PM will travel to Balmoral Castle in Scotland to be officially appointed by the Queen.
This is because the Queen has been suffering from 'mobility issues' recently - meaning she has been struggling to move about as much - and the decision was made to prevent the need for any last-minute changes.
Take a look below to find out more about Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak...
Liz Truss is the current foreign secretary - that means she represents the UK government's relations abroad.
She was first elected in 2010 as MP for South West Norfolk.
She has held different cabinet positions and has the most experience as a government minister out of the final two candidates.
Ms Truss was involved in negotiating trade deals for the UK after Brexit when she was international trade secretary.
However, during the EU referendum, she campaigned for the Remain side, writing that Brexit would be "a triple tragedy - more rules, more forms and more delays when selling to the EU".
However, she later changed her mind, arguing that Brexit provided an opportunity to "shake up the way things work".
As part of her campaign Ms Truss promised to cut the taxes that people have to pay and to do more to support businesses - she says that will help the cost of living crisis and help UK economy grow.
She also said she would cut energy bills by suspending what is known as the "green levy" - part of the bill that pays for social and environmental projects.
Rishi Sunak became an MP in 2015 - for the North Yorkshire constituency of Richmond.
He was famously Chancellor of the Exchequer, the person in charge of the country's money from February 2020 until two weeks ago.
Mr Sunak was one of the first ministers to quit their job earlier this month, in protest over Boris Johnson's leadership.
He was Chancellor during the coronavirus pandemic, dealing with a time of emergency and spending large amounts of money to keep the economy going during the national lockdowns.
During the campaign to be leader, Mr Sunak didn't support cutting taxes at this time, as he says the country needs more money coming in after the Covid pandemic but said it was a matter of "when not if".
He also faced criticism earlier this year after it was revealed his wife was not paying tax on some of her earnings and, like Boris Johnson, he was also fined by police over lockdown parties in Downing Street. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/62792048 | 2022-09-05T06:58:21Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/62792048 | false | 1 |
