Tragic scenes at funeral of Sydney cop Tanzeel Iftikhar Bashir found dead at the Royal National Park
There were no formal eulogies for Constable Tanzeel Bashir but everyone who gathered for his funeral on Tuesday knew what the community had lost.
Constable Bashir, who took his own life last weekend, was farewelled with Islamic rites at Lakemba Mosque in Sydney’s south-west in a service attended by family, friends and colleagues.
The 23-year-old was remembered as a loving son and brother and widely respected police officer.
Constable Berkay Tustas graduated from the New South Wales Police Academy with Constable Bashir in 2019 and could not fathom his friend was gone.
‘He wouldn’t hurt a fly,’ Constable Tustas said outside the mosque. ‘But he hurt himself.’
Constable Bashir, 23, was found dead in the Royal National Park, south of Sydney, about 12.40am on Saturday.
Police had commenced a search about 10.30pm on Friday after concerns were raised for the off-duty Bankstown Police Area Command officer’s welfare.

Constable Charlene Challita was among those hardest hit by her colleague’s death. ‘He was my best mate,’ she said after the service.
One friend who preferred not to be named said he had grown up with Constable Bashir in the Belmore-Lakemba area and had last seen him three weeks ago.
‘I’m simply shocked,’ he said. ‘We never saw it coming.
‘He was kind-hearted, down-to-earth and just a charming personality.’
Canterbury Bankstown deputy mayor Bilal El-Hayek said the local community was mourning a fine young policeman and his family was trying to understand why he was gone.
Cousin Momin Ali said his cousin had loved being a police officer from the start. ‘Tanzeel was very dedicated to his job,’ he said. ‘He wore his uniform with a lot of pride.’ Constable Bashir is pictured in uniform

‘He was a loving son and brother and proud officer, gone too soon,’ Mr El-Hayek said.
‘It’s a timely reminder of the human face of the men and women who serve our community.’
On Tuesday morning Constable Bashir’s body was washed, covered in a shroud and placed in a coffin before being carried up the steep steps of the mosque.
Constable Tustas, who was rostered on duty, waited outside while prayers were said for his dead friend. He was inconsolable but workmates tried to offer comfort.
‘I had to make my way here,’ he said. ‘I came to pay my respects to him because I owe him that much.
‘Tanzeel had the purest heart of all. Purer than crystal. There’s no words. I can’t register anything. I just can’t believe it.’

The 23-year-old was remembered as a widely respected police officer by shattered colleagues. Constable Bashir had been a cop just three years
Constable Tustas spoke of a young man who loved his cricket, football and animals – often sending him unsolicited pictures of his cats.
‘The way Tanzeel was if you needed anything done at the academy or in general he wouldn’t even ask why,’ he’d just do it,’ Constable Tustas said. ‘He was always there for me.’
‘I feel so sorry for the family. If I’m feeling like this, how do they cope? May he rest in peace. I loved the kid.’
Momin Ali said the suicide of a friend’s girlfriend several years ago had been part of the reason his cousin had chosen to join the police force.
‘He just felt he wanted to help people,’ Mr Ali said. ‘To reassure people that there is help out there for those who need it. It was his dream to help people.’
Colleagues unable to attend the funeral later paid their respects at Narellan Cemetery where they watched his burial

Mr Ali said his cousin had loved being a police officer from the start.
‘Tanzeel was very dedicated to his job,’ he said. ‘He wore his uniform with a lot of pride.
‘He never hurt anyone. All he wanted to do was to put smiles on people’s faces. It was just the type of person he was.’
As for what had driven his cousin to despair, Mr Ali had no idea.
‘I guess everyone goes through their own battles,’ he said. ‘He seemed really happy.
‘He’d seen some things but every time when I asked him how he was going he’d say “I love the job”.’

One of Constable Bashir’s relatives had appealed on Facebook for family and friends to attend his funeral and hundreds came to the service.
‘It is with a heavy heart I announce our beloved Tanzeel Iftikhar Bashir, 23 years old, a loving son, brother and friend has returned to his Lord,’ the relative wrote.
‘Please spread the word so that we can have as many people attend my cousin’s janazah as possible.’
Loved ones used social media to remember Constable Bashir, who had two younger sisters, as a ‘loving son, brother and friend’.
‘Rest in peace to an absolute legend,’ one said. Others remembered a ‘fun guy’ and ‘great man’.
A funeral notice asked Allah to bestow comfort upon Constable Bashir’s family and loved ones.
‘O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him and grant him peace and pardon him,’ the notice stated.
‘Receive him with honour and make his place of entry spacious. Admit him into Paradise and protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.’

Constable Tustas was one of four constables and a dozen commissioned officers to form a guard of honour as his friend’s casket was carried back down the mosque’s steps to a waiting hearse.
Three police motorcyclists led the 45km cortege to Narellan Cemetery for the burial.
As the hearse passed Constable Tustas he stood alone on the road and raised one last salute.
Further prayers were held at the cemetery where scores of uniformed police who had not been at the mosque paid their last respects.
A line of mourners formed to greet Constable Bashir’s father Iftikhar and Mr Ali and pay their condolences with hugs and handshakes.
Support services have been offered to Constable Bashir’s family, colleagues and the entire NSW Police force.

A critical incident investigation was launched by detectives from the Homicide Squad who will prepare a report for the Coroner.
The investigation will be reviewed by the Professional Standards Command with independent oversight by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC).
Last month police gathered to farewell Detective Sergeant Adam Child, a 46-year-old father-of-two and long-serving member of the Homicide Squad.
Detective Sergeant Child was found dead from a gunshot wound at Ermington police station on August 1. He was remembered as ‘one of the finest humans and detectives.

PG&E: Sonoma County outage caused by broken power pole
A transmission line failure that zapped power Wednesday for thousands of homes and businesses in northern Sonoma County was caused by a broken utility pole, according to Pacific Gas & Electric Co.
The outage began just after noon, stretching from Healdsburg to Cloverdale.
The broken pole was leaning across a roadway in the area of River and Palomino roads near Cloverdale, according to California Highway Patrol Officer David deRutte.
PG&E investigators believe the pole broke because a vehicle crashed into it, but they did not find a vehicle associated with a crash in the area, according to utility spokesperson Deanna Contreras.
CHP investigators believe there was no crash, according to deRutte. He said they think the pole fell because it was aging or a tree crashed over on it.
The entire city of Healdsburg lost power, according to city officials, plus about 6,000 other PG&E customers in Geyserville and Cloverdale.
All but about 235 of the affected customers had their power back on within three and a half hours, and the outage was entirely resolved by early Thursday, Contreras said.

The state is on Tuesday expected to wrap up its arguments on why an application for a special entry to be made on the record, that the state acted irregularly, should be dismissed in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial taking place at the High Court in Pretoria.
Fisokuhle Ntuli, the fifth accused in the matter on Monday brought the application after the state disclosed a copy of the second docket which implicates the people who were in the house when Meyiwa was shot only after the trial commenced.
A decision on the docket will, however, be made after the current trial has been finalised.
Ntuli argues this has denied him a fair trial and that he would’ve pleaded differently had he seen the contents of the docket.
State Advocate George Baloyi has argued the issue of disclosure has been dealt with before court and that the application is premature.
“We say the special entries are a route to Appeal Court and therefore presuppose that there must be a verdict of guilty and we are masking a submission that there hasn’t been such a verdict.”

It's been a mixed start to trade on Tuesday, similar to what we saw in Asia overnight, and as we await the return of the US after the long bank holiday weekend.
Europe in particular was rattled on Monday by the Gazprom announcement that came after the close on Friday in relation to Nord Stream 1. The latest move in the apparent weaponisation of energy supplies has once more created huge uncertainty ahead of the winter. Conveniently the announcement came hours after the G7 agreed to a Russian price cap and as Europe was boasting about being ahead of schedule on filling gas stores.
RBA signals more hikes ahead
The Reserve Bank of Australia raised the cash target rate by 50 basis points to 2.35% on Tuesday, in line with expectations, as it continues to aggressively push back against soaring inflation. The central bank reiterated that it is not on a pre-set path but will continue hiking interest rates with markets of the belief that there's still plenty more to come including another 50bps next month and 25 at each of the following three.
Of course, forecasting even that far ahead has become far more challenging in such an uncertain global environment but it's clear that central banks around the world still have a massive job on their hands and the coming months will be tough. That said, the RBA is of the belief that inflation will peak later this year before returning to 3% in 2024.
PBOC desperate to support CNY
The PBOC once again set a stronger yuan fix today as it continues to push back against its decline. Controlling the decline in the yuan has clearly become a huge priority, with the 2% cut in the FX reserve requirement ratio intended to support that initiative. Rather than stop a decline in the yuan, these efforts may simply slow it with a move above 7 against the dollar looking like a matter of when rather than if, given the relentless rally in the greenback.
Hit the ground running
Liz Truss will be sworn in as Prime Minister today and will have to hit the ground running as the UK prepares for a brutal winter. Reports claim the new PM intends to freeze energy bills this winter at a cost of up to £130 billion, a move that would certainly fall into the bold category. The question is what impact it will have on inflation and gas demand. This will be a core part of what will need to be a much greater package to shield the economy from the grim forecasts we've seen in recent weeks.
Brent steadies after OPEC+ boost
Brent crude is a little lower today after seeing decent gains at the start of the week following the OPEC+ output announcement. The decision to reverse the 100,000 barrel per day increase in September was more symbolic than fundamentally significant, in that it doesn't really change the dynamics in the market but it will make traders think twice about driving prices lower in the way they have recently.
The disturbing global economic outlook combined with the prospects for a nuclear deal between the US and Iran created a bearish case for oil prices, something that hasn't been the case for much of the year. But the cartel has sought to quash that quickly by not just signalling a willingness to cut output but also leaving the door open to emergency meetings in order to address market volatility. In other words, if the market tries to drive the price much lower again, or the fundamentals change, the group will cut again and it won't wait until 5 October.
As far as Brent is concerned, that may have reinforced support around $90, with the group clearly favouring a price closer to $100. It will be interesting to see if the market tries to test the group's resolve again or if this initial warning shot will prove enough.
Recovering but for how long?
Gold is enjoying a bit more of a recovery today, this time aided by a pullback in the US dollar. The greenback has been a strong headwind for the yellow metal and, along with rising yields, has driven it back towards $1,680 where it has once again run into firm support. While some may be encouraged by the rebound we've seen, I wonder how much appetite there'll actually be for a significant and sustainable rebound.
We're seeing it face its first test now around $1,730 which until recently was a key area of support. If it overcomes this, further resistance could be found around $1,750-1,760 which would be a big test. A move above here could inspire some optimism but in this environment, that will be easier said than done.
Struggling for rally momentum
Bitcoin pushed briefly back above $20,000 today but is struggling to build on that. Broadly speaking, it's trading in a range between $19,500 and $20,500 as it has for a little over a week now but rallies do appear to be increasingly struggling which may be a slightly bearish signal. A break of $19,500 would confirm that although with trading currently so choppy, it's tough to read too heavily into today's moves so far. The broader market environment also remains quite risk averse which could work against cryptos.

How often do you think that you'll bump into an elephant inside a hospital? Well, patients and doctors in West Bengal's Jalpaiguri army hospital had this rare encounter. Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda posted a close-up shot of two wild elephants having an adventure inside the Binnaguri army camp hospital. “Elephants in the room…From Jalpaiguri Cantonment,” he said while captioning the post.
Take a look at the pictures:

By Joey Royal
I want to focus this morning on our Old Testament reading, which is Jeremiah, chapter 32. I chose this text to preach on because I think it brings us into a world that is, on one hand, strange and different from our own, and yet, on the other hand, similar to ours in some important ways.
Here we are with the prophet Jeremiah, shortly before the fall of Jerusalem and the collapse of the kingdom of Judah. What 9/11 was to the United States, the fall of Jerusalem was to ancient Israel — the world of familiarity and security falling apart.
Now, it’s clear in the Old Testament that this catastrophe is brought about by God as judgment against his people for their continued unfaithfulness and idolatry. We in the church don’t talk about God’s judgment very often, but it’s everywhere in the Bible so it cannot be ignored.
As a backdrop to today’s text, here’s a short section from Jeremiah chapter 2 in which God lays out the reason why judgment on Jerusalem is inevitable and imminent:
Be appalled, O heavens, at this,
be shocked, be utterly desolate, says the Lord
for my people have committed two evils:
they have forsaken me,
the fountain of living water,
and dug out cisterns for themselves,
cracked cisterns that can hold no water.
(Jer. 2:12-13)
Here the metaphor is water. God is the fountain of living source, the source of life itself. And false gods (“idols”) are like containers that claim to carry water, but in fact are cracked and can’t carry anything at all. They are counterfeit and useless. And yet God’s people want counterfeit gods instead of the real thing. So the charge against God’s people is twofold: First, they have turned away from God; and second, they have turned to other idols.
We may understand the seriousness of idolatry better if we realize that all throughout Scripture God’s relationship to his people is spoken of as a marriage. God and his people (that includes us) are bonded together by a covenant, much like the way we are bonded to our spouses in a marriage covenant.
This means that the relationship between God and his people is a very intimate and very costly thing. It also means that breaking that covenant is very serious and creates disastrous consequences. This is why when the Bible talks about idolatry, it likens it to adultery. God’s people have cheated on him, and broken the marriage bond. And God — like any lover who is cheated on — is very angry.
God is patient, but his patience has a limit. By the time we arrive in the Book of Jeremiah, God has endured unfaithfulness from his people over and over again. And now judgment is coming, and judgment is coming in the form of the Babylonian Empire conquering the city of Jerusalem and carrying the people off into exile. Before the Book of Jeremiah is over, this will have happened.
The prophet Jeremiah is the one tasked to bring this depressing message to the leadership of Jerusalem. He tells them time and time again that the world they know is coming to an end very soon. And like most people in the face of crisis, they are in denial. They assume things will always be as they are.
The book of Jeremiah is not easy reading — there is no doubt why they call him the “weeping prophet.” But it is necessary reading for God’s people, and I’m going to suggest this morning that Jeremiah’s situation is, in many ways, similar to our own.
But first, let’s look at today’s text, from chapter 32. Most of the preceding chapters have been taken up with the theme of judgment. But in this chapter and one preceding it, the subject shifts: Yes, judgment is still coming on Jerusalem, but we are invited to think about what comes after that judgement. This is a word of hope.
As our text opens today, we’re told that the Babylonian army is besieging Jerusalem. The city will inevitably be conquered — it is only a matter of time. Jeremiah is being kept captive in the court of the king. And so into this catastrophe, God brings a strange message to Jeremiah. He tells him that very soon his cousin is going to come to him, and his cousin will offer to sell him a piece of property in Jerusalem (a field). Furthermore, God tells Jeremiah to accept this offer and buy the field.
So, sure enough, Jeremiah’s cousin comes along and offers to sell him the field. Jeremiah accepts, signs the paperwork in front of witnesses, and takes ownership of this property.
Now, the natural question arises: Why on earth would anyone buy real estate when the world is falling apart?
Another way of asking this is: Why would anyone invest in a future that will not exist? This is like a Jewish family buying property in Poland on the eve of Hitler’s invasion in 1939; it makes no sense. The property you bought today will, in all likelihood, not be there tomorrow. And even if it is there, it won’t belong to you anymore; it will belong to your captors.
Well, the last verse in our reading today tells us why it makes perfect sense to Jeremiah to buy that field: After the purchase is complete, God tells Jeremiah to put the deed in a sturdy jar, so it will last a long time. Why? Because God has promised that “houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.”
So why should Jeremiah buy that land when the city walls are falling down? Why should he invest in a field when Babylonian torches are ready to burn all the fields to ash? Because God has promised a future. And that land is a sign of God’s promise. That land is a symbol of resurrection.
God’s promises don’t always appear to make sense. From our perspective, God’s promises often look impossible. But remember what Jesus once said: “With human beings this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
I began today by saying that this text is both strange and familiar to us. I think we have no trouble seeing how strange it is, but how is it familiar?
I think it’s familiar because we in the church today are experiencing a similar sense of crisis and dislocation that Jeremiah and his contemporaries felt in Jerusalem. Humanly speaking, Jerusalem had no future. And, I want to suggest, humanly speaking, the Anglican Church of Canada has no future.
I read a depressing article the other day on the collapse of the mainline church in Canada. The article laid out the decline of the churches — including the Anglican Church — and suggested that part of the problem is the church’s too-eager willingness to accommodate itself to a secular culture. As the church gave people less and less to believe in, the pews began to empty. And then the article cited a statistic that I found shocking: If present trends continue, the Anglican Church of Canada will have one member by the year 2050.
The city walls are crumbling. The axe is being laid to the root. Is this God’s judgment on a church that has forsaken her true love? Maybe it is.
But Jeremiah reminds us that God judges us not to destroy us but to restore us. For that reason, I am convinced more than ever that, as we face imminent collapse and extinction, God is calling us to “buy land.” God is calling us to invest in the future, even though it looks like there will be no future for our kids and grandkids.
If we remain faithful, God is saying to Holy Trinity Anglican Church: “houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.” If we remain faithful, there will still be a church for the kids among us to grow up in.
So, then, what does it look like for us to “buy land”? Let me make a few suggestions, and then I’ll leave it to you to pray and ask God.
First, we need to invite God into our homes. This means we need to continually teach our children about Jesus, to model Christlike love in our marriages, to live our private and family lives in a manner worthy of Christ. As I often say, this is not a call to perfection; it’s a call to faithfulness. Our homes should be havens of humility, generosity, and forgiveness.
Second, the church needs to invest in the young. I’m delighted that Holy Trinity has a thriving Sunday school program. I’m committing myself in the coming years to working more and more with youth. By God’s grace, we have a congregation that is good mix of old and young; this is not the norm in the Anglican Church, but it must continue to be the norm here. Many Anglican churches are very nice buildings with hardly anyone inside them; our country is littered with museums and tombs that used to be churches.
Third, we need to recover evangelism as the calling of every Christian. We have good news to share — in Christ, death and sin have been conquered! In the Church we have a foretaste of what true humanity is intended to be! In the first epistle of Peter, we’re told to “be ready always to give an answer to anyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you.” Let’s share with others the source of our hope and joy. This shouldn’t be flashy or contrived; it should be a sincere expression of our peace and joy.
Lastly, we should, in the words of Jeremiah, “seek the welfare of the city.” That’s the message God gives to the exiles in Babylon — seek the welfare of the city. Although we are citizens of heaven, we’re also citizens of Yellowknife, and we need to contribute to the common good as we are able. Yellowknife is a modern city, full of vibrancy and hope and ambition, but also full of despair and violence and homelessness. As Christians, we have a responsibility to make this city better simply because God loves Yellowknife.
So, Holy Trinity Anglican Church, as we see more and more statistics of imminent collapse, let us remember that our church is in God’s hands. Our job is not to fix the church; our job is to be faithful to God. And as we do that, remember God’s promise to Jeremiah: “houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.”
And now let’s go out and buy some land.

Puri In Touch With Buyers On Liger
Distribution system is in ventilator in Tollywood. While Covid had the huge effect on buyers, some flops and disasters post covid impacted them badly. Under these circumstances, director and producer Puri Jagannadh has come forward to compensate the losses of his recent release Liger starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Pandey, to the buyers.
Released amid huge expectations, the Pan India project disappointed the critics and audience alike. It raked big numbers in all the areas on day one and the collections were good in North belt as well. However, the mouth talk resulted in the movie having poor show from next day.
Puri produced the movie, in association with Charmme Kaur. It is heard that, both will be meeting the buyers next week. The director who is in constant touch with the buyers informed them to discuss and resolve the issue in the meeting.
In fact, Puri Jagannadh lent his helping hand to his producers and buyers several times. He also helped many in the industry. And, there’s no question of he escaping, when his buyers incur losses, says a source close to the filmmaker. | https://english.sakshi.com/news/tollywood/puri-touch-buyers-liger-160575 | 2022-09-06T08:14:13Z | https://english.sakshi.com/news/tollywood/puri-touch-buyers-liger-160575 | false | 1 |
Following the Texas A&M football team’s 31-0 blowout win against Sam Houston State, the Aggies seem to be off to a great start.
With the squad facing Appalachian State, who put up over 60 points in its loss to North Carolina, there were questions surrounding the preparedness of the defense. On Monday, Sept. 5, A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher, sophomore defensive back Jardin Gilbert, junior defensive lineman Isaiah Raikes and sophomore wide receiver Yulkeith Brown met with the media.
Here’s what we learned:
The freshmen don’t play their age
Several freshmen earned playing time last Saturday against Sam Houston. Wide receivers Evan Stewart and Chris Marshall were just a few of those who made their names known to Aggies far and wide.
“Our young wideouts did a nice job in the game and our older wideouts,” Fisher said. “I thought Chris Marshall came in and did a really nice job.”
Marshall finished off the game with four receptions for 41 yards while Stewart hauled in five catches for 57 yards.
Appalachian State should not be underestimated
Last Saturday, the Mountaineers scored 61 points against North Carolina with 40 of those coming in just the fourth quarter. Led by the coaching staff and senior quarterback Chase Brice, the team will be a worthy foe for the Aggies.
“Coach Clark and Appalachian State are coming in here and they have one heck of a football team and always have,” Fisher said. “This is a great football team that I think could be in any major conference in the country and be extremely competitive. These guys have played for a long time and played great people every year. They had a great game last week and had a shootout. We’re going to have to play a great game in all three phases.”
Defensively, the Aggies will certainly have work to do if they want to keep Appalachian State from putting up close to the number of yards or points they did last weekend.
“Watching them, they look like they play well together,” Raikes said. “They fought the whole game, so I know they have experience and they know how to finish games. We definitely want to hold [Appalachian State] to as minimum points as possible. It’s exciting to me; I love competition. I look forward to that, and I’m sure our whole defense looks forward to that.”
King needs improvements, but he has been a solid QB
In his first game since his injury last season against Colorado, King had a successful showing. There were some issues with consistency and reading the defense, but being able to throw for 364 yards with three touchdowns was an impressive return for the sophomore.
“He threw the ball well and came back right after,” Fisher said. “One drive was a field goal and the next drive was a touchdown. I like to see that, I don’t want to see the turnovers. We can’t have them, and you don’t ever want a turnover. At the same time, it didn’t affect him mentally and he still stayed aggressive on the ball and made good decisions.”
King maintained a great connection with his receivers. Five out of the nine receivers who played were able to haul in catches, including Brown who scored a touchdown.
“Haynes King is a great quarterback and has a great arm,” Brown said. “A few plays last Saturday, he really showed his arm. I feel like the balls he got and the way he can throw is very good.” | https://www.thebatt.com/sports/3-takeaways-from-monday-s-press-conference/article_4363e844-2d7e-11ed-845f-7bcd6ce07cd4.html | 2022-09-06T08:25:51Z | https://www.thebatt.com/sports/3-takeaways-from-monday-s-press-conference/article_4363e844-2d7e-11ed-845f-7bcd6ce07cd4.html | true | 1 |

- Nfinite Nanotechnology: An advanced materials company, which leverages smart nanocoatings to make packaging recyclable and compostable.
Each company will receive investments of US $250,000 and access to Amcor's best-in-class research and development resources.
Frank Lehmann, Vice President, Corporate Venturing and Open Innovation at Amcor, said: "Amcor is continuously reimagining what is possible for packaging and our aim is to drive sustainability through unrelenting innovation. These initial investments are just the start, as Amcor will continue to invest in market disruptors and ways to elevate expectations for our industry.
"We've been very impressed with what Bloom and Nfinite Nanotechnology have to offer, having risen to the top of a highly competitive field to become the first recipients of Amcor Lift-Off funding. Both start-ups are rooted in a culture of innovation and creativity, looking to break boundaries and disrupt the packaging industry as we know it. Going beyond traditional borders and uncovering the best and brightest ideas from across the globe will enable Amcor to take innovative leaps for the industry and environment."
Bloom technology responds to two acute needs of the chemical and packaging industry: the sourcing of renewable carbon for packaging made from biomaterials and circular end-of-life solutions for such packaging. The Swiss-based start-up has developed a new type of polyester made from plants. The properties of this new biomaterial match both the mechanical and functional requirements needed for quality packaging and provide a more sustainable end-of-life solution, being both recyclable and biodegradable. Amcor's investment in Bloom will support its continued growth and expansion, notably helping with the installation of new technical facilities and team hires.

The Tragedy of North Birmingham

By the spring of 2020, the century-old industrial plant on Birmingham’s 35th Avenue was literally falling apart. Chunks of the metal doors fronting several of the 1,800-degree ovens — which heat coal to produce a fuel called coke — had broken off and tumbled to the ground.
With the doors damaged, the toxic chemicals they were supposed to contain within the ovens leaked out at an accelerated rate. The fumes should still have been captured by a giant ventilation hood that had been put in place to suck up emissions. But that system was broken, too, causing plumes of noxious smoke to drift across the city’s historically Black north side, as they had done so many times before.
Months earlier, a regulator with the Jefferson County Department of Health had sent a letter warning the plant’s owners that they could soon be cited for failing to prevent pollution from escaping from the ovens in different ways.
“It seems inevitable,” the letter said.
But in the months that followed, the company that had recently bought the plant told regulators it was unable to make millions of dollars worth of necessary repairs to the oven doors and ventilation hood, records and interviews show. The delays carried a tremendous cost: Nearby residents were once again being exposed to dangerous levels of cancer-causing chemicals.
No Southern city has experienced a longer and more damaging legacy of environmental injustice than Birmingham. As coke production fueled the city’s rise — powering plants that made everything from cast-iron pipes to steel beams — white leaders enacted housing policies that forced Black people to live in the most hazardous communities. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once called Birmingham America’s “most thoroughly segregated city,” and the evidence of oppressive pollution was blatant. The air in north Birmingham residents’ lungs and the soil beneath their feet became more contaminated than in nearly any other corner of America.
Generations of business leaders amassed fortunes by cooking coke without regard to the pollution raining down on neighboring communities. With few exceptions, each plant owner left the facility in worse shape than they found it, passing off costly upgrades to the subsequent owner, who then passed them on to the next. This pattern was able to continue, in part, because powerful industry lobbyists fended off the kind of proposals and policies that better protected communities in other states. Nowhere was that more apparent than at one of the country’s worst-polluting plants, on 35th Avenue in Birmingham.
It was here, in an area with one of America’s highest poverty rates, that the ultrawealthy owners of a coal company named Bluestone Coke spotted a financial opportunity. Bluestone belongs to the family of Jim Justice, the coal baron who became West Virginia governor in 2017. The Justices had racked up tens of millions of dollars in unpaid bills with smaller companies it did business with, according to a ProPublica investigation in 2020. (Forbes dubbed Gov. Justice the “deadbeat billionaire” because of these debts.) After a close business associate suddenly had to offload his Birmingham coke plant in 2019, the Justices bought the decrepit facility, which would prove to be a ready-made customer for the coal their company mined in several Appalachian states.
The Justices, like the owners of other remaining coke plants, sought to preserve the plant’s last years of revenues at a time when steel mill owners around the country were replacing coke-fueled furnaces with cleaner electric ones. To do so, they would cut corners on maintenance on creaky ovens, even though that would dramatically heighten the odds of increased pollution.
In July 2020, after the 35th Avenue plant was found to have released excessive levels of toxic emissions on most days that year, Jefferson County inspectors cited Bluestone for a series of violations. The health department was considering a fine of nearly $600,000, a penalty that’s small compared to fines that regulators in other states have issued for similar infractions but large by Jefferson County’s standards. In fact, it would have exceeded the fines issued to all Birmingham-area industrial sources over the previous decade. Instead of finalizing a settlement that would’ve fined Bluestone, though, Jefferson County scrapped it.
Over the course of the next year, Bluestone committed so many more infractions that it could have owed maximum penalties exceeding $60 million, according to legal filings. The violations got so bad that in August 2021, nearly two years after Jefferson County had warned that citations would be “inevitable,” the health department denied Bluestone’s request to renew the site’s permit. The Jefferson County Board of Health sued the company for damages, alleging that its operations were “a menace to the public health.”
Bluestone appealed the decision to deny its permit renewal and was initially able to stay open, releasing toxic chemicals into the surrounding communities well into the fall. But repeated problems with its equipment forced Bluestone to idle its coke ovens last October. Only then did it promise to make the major repairs needed to renew its permit.
ProPublica has learned that the Jefferson County Board of Health and Bluestone recently entered talks to settle the lawsuit. If Bluestone makes overdue repairs to its pollution control equipment and pays a penalty of $850,000 — less than 2% of the maximum possible fine — the company will be able to apply to renew its permit, according to sources who did not want to be named because the settlement is still being negotiated. If the head of the Jefferson County Department of Health approves the permit, Bluestone can resume its production of tens of thousands of pounds of coke each year.
Jordan Damron, a press secretary for Gov. Justice, did not respond to ProPublica’s request for comment. Bluestone attorney Robert Fowler, who declined to answer ProPublica’s questions, wrote in an email that the company is committed to “achieving compliance with all local, state, and federal environmental laws.” Bluestone said it has spent millions of dollars to improve the plant and told regulators that it has the funding to make additional repairs. Wanda Heard, a spokesperson for the health department and the health board, declined to answer most questions for this story. Jason Howanitz, a senior air pollution control engineer for the department, said in a statement that he and his colleagues “work with residents and industry to ensure violations are handled swiftly and effectively to prevent violations from escalating.”
The chronic problems with the plant have spurred Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin to draft an unprecedented and as-yet-unfunded plan to buy out and relocate hundreds of neighboring residents. But launching the effort could take years — unless industrial companies like Bluestone, and the agencies tasked with regulating such plants, help to right the historic wrongs that plague the city’s north side.
“Bluestone hasn’t been a responsible operator,” Woodfin told ProPublica. “They’ve been blatant. They’ve been disrespectful. Bluestone doesn’t give a damn about people.”
On a recent summer afternoon, Lamar Mabry stepped past colorful toys strewn across the living room floor and went into his backyard. He pointed toward the far end of the nearly 1-acre lot containing several homes belonging to his family, at the five-bedroom brick house where he had grown up, just 600 feet from Bluestone’s front gates. From the front yard there, he could see the plant’s smokestack. As the years passed, pollution from the plant stained the house’s white facade a dark charcoal.
Since the late 1970s, Mabry has been complaining about the pollution from the coke plant and other sites clustered around his historic Black community of Collegeville. The 71-year-old contractor built his current house on the family land, and he and his late wife raised their younger children there. He now helps out with his grandchildren, who visit him often.
The neighborhood where Mabry once played in the streets and where his family gardened vegetables is now filled with abandoned homes and vacant lots. When the plant was running, the smell of pungent chemicals often killed his appetite and at times made him feel dizzy. In a legal filing before the Bluestone plant idled, Mabry said that the toxic emissions from the coke ovens left him “depressed” because his grandkids couldn’t “go outdoors during the summer months because of the pollution.”
He also worries his yard is too contaminated for his grandchildren to safely dig in the dirt. The EPA believes dirt that was given away by local industrial companies in the mid-20th century was spread by residents throughout their neighborhoods — and often contained toxic chemicals. Mabry’s older brother, Charles, who had worked at the 35th Avenue coke plant, brought truckloads of that dirt home to level their yard. Mabry said that in the early 2010s, the EPA sampled his soil but only tested the edges of his yard and didn’t find enough pollutants there to excavate it and replace it with clean soil. (The EPA excavated the yards of both of his neighbors, as well as hundreds of other nearby properties.)
Still, no matter how much pollution fell from the sky or lay beneath his feet, Collegeville had always been home. So for a long time, Mabry clung to the idea that he would die in the only community where he’s ever lived, even after he heard more neighbors’ stories of children with asthma and seniors with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. As the years passed, though, seven of his 14 siblings were diagnosed with cancer. “I’ve got a lot of death certificates,” he said. Enough, in fact, that he recently and reluctantly began to weigh the idea of moving, in hopes of finding a safer place for his grandchildren, all under the age of 14.
“My five grandkids, that’s my whole pride and joy,” Mabry said. But it’s still not an easy decision. “It will hurt me. All my memories are here.”
Mabry and other residents of Birmingham’s north side are worried that if Bluestone is allowed to resume operations at the plant, the government officials who had promised to protect them before will fail to do so again. It is a pattern they knew all too well, a pattern as old as the city itself.
The decade after the Civil War ended, a Confederate colonel named James Withers Sloss created a business empire in Birmingham on his belief that nearby coal deposits were vast enough to revive the region. Like many of his contemporaries, he built his companies on a system of racist labor practices. He invested in mines that shipped coal to Sloss Furnaces downtown, where freed Black people worked the city’s most dangerous ironworking jobs for the lowest pay. In 1883, Sloss told lawmakers that he relegated Black people to those positions because they had more of “a fondness for” that kind of work than white people did. Historian W. David Lewis later wrote that Sloss and other post-Civil War industrialists had turned Birmingham into “an iron plantation in an urban setting.”
When Sloss cashed out by selling his flagship iron furnace for $2 million — more than $60 million in today’s dollars — the investors who bought it relied on forced labor. They paid sheriffs to lease prisoners — many of them descendants of formerly enslaved Black people who were facing trumped-up charges by white people — to mine coal to pay off their fines.
The investors boosted production so much that by the early 20th century the amount of iron forged in Alabama surpassed that of Pennsylvania. To honor Birmingham’s rise, civic boosters paid the Sloss-Sheffield Steel & Iron Company to supply iron for a 56-foot-tall statue of Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and forge, that would stand atop nearby Red Mountain. But in the valley below, Birmingham was heavily obscured by smoke from the growing number of iron and steel mills.
In 1913, city commissioners banned companies from firing up their plants more than three minutes an hour. But after a Sloss-Sheffield executive was arrested for defying the ordinance, local industrialists pressured the commissioners into weakening the restriction and convinced state lawmakers to strip the city of its power to limit industrial pollution. Sloss-Sheffield’s lobbying later helped the company land a military contract so large that it decided to build a new coke plant on 35th Avenue.
Though Alabama would end convict leasing in 1928 — abolishing the practice once exploited by Sloss-Sheffield — Black employees worked in fear of white foremen. “They called you a n—– and you did what they told you to do,” a Sloss-Sheffield worker from the 1920s to the 1940s later said in an oral history interview. “It would make you angry and you’d fret over it but you did it anyway because you didn’t have a choice.”
The year after World War II ended, a 22-year-old dockworker named John Powe came home from overseas and headed to Birmingham to find a job that would support his growing family. Like many rural Black southerners, Powe’s search for opportunity beyond tenant farming — the work his father had done in rural central Alabama — drew him to the industrial mecca, which had grown sevenfold since the turn of the century to more than 260,000 people. After briefly working for another company, he followed his older brother to Sloss-Sheffield.
Working as a laborer at Sloss was “rough,” Powe recounted in his own oral history interview, conducted in 1984. “When I first came out there I stayed on the job for 36 hours.” He added: “I feel lucky to be able to walk around.” Each shift presented potential dangers, from the risk of explosions to toxic chemicals. After a decade on the job, Powe lost a portion of his foot in a workplace accident.
By the 1940s, pollution from Sloss-Sheffield facilities and dozens of other plants across Birmingham was becoming hard for some city officials to ignore. Federal aviation officials blocked funding to expand the city’s airport because of excess smoke and dust, and medical leaders refused to build a tuberculosis hospital in Birmingham. In response, Sloss-Sheffield vowed to lower emissions. But those voluntary efforts failed to protect workers, who were found to have “high disease and death rates,” according to a 1946 report published by health officials in Jefferson County.
Redlining and the city’s racial zoning law prohibited Black people from moving into white neighborhoods. Powe — along with three of his brothers, who each worked for Sloss-Sheffield — moved to one of the few places he could: a short walk from the coke plant, in the tightknit neighborhood of Collegeville. His oldest son, John Henry Powe, remembers his dad coming home from work in the 1950s covered in soot from head to toe and handing his dirty work clothes to his wife, Ruby, who washed out the chemical stains by hand. The particles also landed on neighbors’ cars, leaving a fine layer of soot that covered the hoods like pollen in the spring.
Julia Powe, one of Powe’s nieces, remembers other, more direct threats to her family, beyond those posed by the coke plants. She felt her house rattle after terrorists bombed the nearby home of Bethel Baptist Church Pastor Fred Shuttlesworth, who organized civil rights demonstrations at his sanctuary. Theophilus Eugene “Bull” Connor — a notorious public safety commissioner with close ties to the Ku Klux Klan — ordered the arrest of hundreds of Black children, including Powe’s daughter, Queen, during a protest to end segregation.
While Black residents fought to desegregate the city, many white families moved “over the mountain,” to suburbs with safer air. Researchers found that remaining Birmingham residents were exposed to so many pollutants — such as cancer-causing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons — that breathing the air was equivalent to smoking two and a half packs of cigarettes a day. From the early 1960s to the early 1970s, the Birmingham area saw emphysema death rates spike by 200 percent, so bad that one federal official declared Birmingham’s air quality to be the worst in the South.
For years, Julia Powe said, her mother wanted to move away from the city’s north side because of its toxic air. But there was nowhere they could afford to go.
“We made do with what we had,” Powe said. “We had to go along to get along.”
By the fall of 1971, Birmingham’s pollution had triggered a full-blown public health crisis. Skyscrapers disappeared behind a hazy blanket of smog. As Marvin Gaye’s environmental anthem “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)” was broadcast over radios nationwide (“Where did all the blue skies go? / Poison is the wind that blows”), editors at the Birmingham Post-Herald printed a front-page “pollution count” tracker that told families like the Powes and the Mabrys how much toxic air they would breathe.
Jefferson County officials, stripped of their powers by the state, could only request that plant owners slash emissions. Alabama Gov. George Wallace — best known for proclaiming “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever” in response to public school desegregation — delayed naming anyone to a state commission that was supposed to decide how to meet standards set by the Clean Air Act of 1970. That federal law empowered the newly created EPA to improve air quality nationwide.
After Birmingham companies continued to ignore requests that they voluntarily reduce emissions, Jefferson County officials persuaded the EPA to ask a federal judge to shut down 23 industrial sites. The judge agreed, lifting the hazy blanket from the skyline. In the weeks ahead, Wallace’s appointees finally met, and they soon created new pollution regulations.
Over the next five years, the quality of Birmingham’s air dramatically improved. But a pocket of toxic emissions stubbornly remained along the city’s north side, in part because of the coke ovens so close to Mabry’s and Powe’s homes.
The thick black smoke that drifted into communities not only contained particulate matter that made it harder to breathe, but also carcinogenic pollutants invisible to the human eye. By the late 1970s, the EPA concluded that “little doubt is left” regarding the cancer risk of emissions from the 60 coke plants then operating in the U.S. Yet each successive presidential administration, facing pressure from steel execs concerned about rising costs, refrained from using its power to protect communities against those emissions. In the mid-1980s, President Ronald Reagan withheld funding for regulators to curb coke plant emissions. In 1990, President George H. W. Bush signed into law an overhaul of the Clean Air Act that mandated stronger emissions controls but granted coke plants three decades to meet the full requirements of the tougher law. And in the final week of President Bill Clinton’s term in 2001, the EPA loosened controls on pollution from coke plants.
“Coke ovens became a classic example of a very old technology that was never forced to modernize,” said Jane Williams, chair of the Sierra Club’s National Clear Air Team, who advises communities impacted by coke oven emissions.
By the early 2000s, the EPA acknowledged in a report to Congress that federal regulations alone wouldn’t stop toxic air pollution in Birmingham and other cities considered America’s worst hot spots. A top EPA official informed Jefferson County regulators that their department had lax coke ovens emission standards that fell short of those in other states. But nothing happened. (Howanitz, a Jefferson County regulator, said in a statement that the EPA’s summary of the county’s standards was an “oversimplification” that “does not accurately reflect the rules of Jefferson County.”)
Birmingham’s northern cluster of aging industrial plants, along with the disinvestment and blight accelerated by the pollution they emitted, had spurred an exodus. From the 1970s to the 1990s, Collegeville’s population shrank from 7,000 to under 4,200 residents. Though Powe and his brothers would spend their golden years in Collegeville, most of their children, including John Henry and Julia, moved elsewhere.
“The businesses moved out, then the people moved out,” said John Henry Powe, who relocated 10 miles northeast to the suburb of Center Point. “People wanted better.”
Residents like Mabry who chose to stay soon learned of another pollution threat. In 2005, the company that then operated the 35th Avenue plant, Sloss Industries Corporation, discovered the presence of cancer-causing contaminants in soil sampled in adjacent neighborhoods. The discovery came on the heels of a 16-year EPA-mandated investigation to determine the extent to which dozens of contaminants had leached out of disposal pits on the roughly 400-acre coke plant site.
It took another four years for the EPA to ask Sloss Industries’ successor, Walter Coke, to sample soil near additional homes and schools. That testing found concerning levels of toxic contaminants, including arsenic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, at roughly two dozen of those sites. The EPA quickly informed school officials that contaminants had elevated cancer risk above what the environmental agency deems acceptable.
Walter Coke voluntarily dispatched bulldozers to several schools to remove the toxic dirt and replaced it with clean soil. But company execs hoped to limit their additional cleanup costs. Chuck Stewart, Walter Coke’s president, told the EPA that assigning blame to his plant alone was “profoundly misleading.” He argued that contamination came from “multiple sources” in a part of town where more than 75 plants had operated since the late 19th century. Given the legacy of the industrial corridor, he urged EPA officials in 2011 to get other companies “to the table to discuss any cleanup.”
Around that time, the EPA declared portions of neighborhoods around the 35th Avenue plant a Superfund site, which allowed the agency to spend millions of dollars to clean up the hazardous pollution. In 2013, the EPA named four more companies — including Walter’s top rival, Drummond — as “potentially responsible” for the remediation costs. Soon after, EPA officials sought to add the area to its National Priorities List, a designation that allows the agency to pool more resources that can accelerate such cleanups.
Fearing a $100 million cleanup bill, Drummond’s vice president convinced Democratic state representative Oliver Robinson to fight the NPL designation. After thousands of dollars were secretly funneled to his foundation by a nonprofit run by the Drummond vice president, Robinson hired a friend to get northside residents to sign a petition expressing concern that being placed on the NPL would lower their property values. A lawyer working with Drummond’s vice president used information collected by Robinson to draft talking points, which Republican officials used to publicly oppose the NPL designation.
The tidal wave of backlash they fomented was successful. The EPA dropped the NPL effort in 2015. EPA spokesperson Brandi Jenkins said in a statement that the agency’s “decisions regarding cleanups are not influenced by lobbying interests.”
Robinson later pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges related to his campaign against the NPL effort. The Drummond vice president was convicted for his role. Hank Asbill, a lawyer representing the Drummond vice president, said in an email that his client “did not get a fair trial and was wrongly convicted.” A lawyer for Robinson did not respond to a request for comment. Drummond representatives also did not respond to a request for comment.
That winter, EPA contractors excavated the soil around a red brick house owned by lifelong Collegeville resident Jimmy Smith. The 82-year-old had worked for U.S. Pipe, which had once owned the 35th Avenue coke plant, for more than four decades. The EPA’s excavation followed its discovery of unsafe levels of arsenic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Smith’s front yard. After that, he became convinced that the polluted air and soil had caused the cancer that afflicted his family. His mother died from lung cancer, and he lost his oldest daughter to multiple cancers.
It was all but impossible for Smith to know the extent to which the cancer-causing chemicals had contributed to his family members’ illnesses, though federal health officials say that long-term exposure to such chemicals increases cancer risk. By the time a backhoe arrived to dig up the toxic soil, Smith thought, it was time to go.
“Once we realized the severity of the pollution, what it was doing to us, what it had been doing to us, we moved out of there,” Smith said.
Six months after EPA contractors excavated Smith’s yard, Walter Coke’s parent company filed for bankruptcy. When a company called ERP Compliant Coke acquired the 35th Avenue plant the following winter, 33-year-old environmentalist Michael Hansen felt what he called a “twinkle of hope.” Hansen, whose nonprofit the Greater-Birmingham Alliance to Stop Pollution had urged the health department to address residents’ concerns about pollution, believed the plant’s change in ownership could signal a new era. ERP’s owner, Tom Clarke, had vowed to plant millions of trees on old industrial sites he’d bought elsewhere to offset their carbon footprints. Hansen had also heard a rumor that Clarke might decommission the plant and convert the property into a land trust to restore it.
However, as Hansen drove through Collegeville in the ensuing months, he could smell the scent of burning rubber and mothballs, telltale signs of coke oven emissions. The sight of plumes of smoke became so common that GASP staffers sent complaints to the health department. But Jefferson County regulators said they never found enough evidence of violations to fine ERP. The plant kept polluting under ERP’s ownership until Clarke ran into financial trouble. In 2018, he missed a loan payment for another of his properties. Following that, his bankers called the full note due immediately. Clarke, who once volunteered to help the Justices confront their long list of mining violations, sold the Birmingham plant to Bluestone. (Clarke and his attorney did not respond to multiple requests for comment.)
As the Justices folded the Birmingham plant into their business empire’s future plans, they slashed the costs of running the site. In January 2020, Bluestone laid off dozens of employees, leaving the plant with fewer than 100 workers, according to their union president. Yet once COVID-19 swept the nation, the company applied for PPP loans, claiming that it would protect the jobs of more than 150 people. ProPublica’s PPP loan database shows that federal officials approved $4.6 million in loans and eventually forgave the full amount. Fowler, the Bluestone attorney, declined to comment.
The plant’s purchasing manager, meanwhile, said in a deposition that he was told to ask 50 contractors if they would accept reduced payments for services they had already performed. Everyone from coke oven part makers to fire extinguisher distributors sued Bluestone to get their full payments. (As of July, ProPublica had found that judges had ordered Bluestone to pay in nine lawsuits and had dismissed nine others. It’s unclear how many of the dismissals occurred due to settlements. Eight cases were still ongoing.) Bluestone even delayed payments to contract inspectors who compiled emissions data for the Jefferson County Department of Health.
“It takes an incredible amount of maintenance to keep one of these plants running,” said Erik Groth, an environmental specialist who said Bluestone owes him more than $10,000 for emissions monitoring. “When essential services started disappearing, like toilet paper in the bathrooms, I prepared for the worst.”
Hansen, for his part, was alarmed that Bluestone had not paid the taxes needed to get a business license. If the family wouldn’t take care of the most basic of operational obligations, Hansen reasoned, the company was unlikely to invest in fixing the problems that led to the health department violations.
Since Jefferson County was not regularly conducting toxic air monitoring, GASP collected samples of its own. Shortly after Bluestone arrived in Birmingham, Hansen’s group found evidence of two chemicals often released by coke plants, benzene and naphthalene, at levels that elevated cancer risk. In late 2020, GASP partnered with an expert to place air monitoring devices on church windows and at schools less than half a mile from the coke ovens. After three months collecting samples, Wilma Subra, a Louisiana-based environmental health expert who advises the EPA on community concerns, reviewed the results for GASP. She concluded benzene, naphthalene and other toxic chemicals were present at levels high enough to have an “extensive and severe” impact on the health of nearby residents.
Following Jefferson County’s denial of Bluestone’s permit in August 2021, a leader with the economic development nonprofit Birmingham Business Alliance emailed health department regulators on Bluestone’s behalf to find a way to “resolve their problems regarding air quality.” The following month, Jay Justice — Gov. Justice’s son, who is the head of Bluestone — reached out to one of Jefferson County’s top air pollution regulators to schedule an in-person meeting. He wrote that he was looking “to develop a pathway forward that can allow the plant to continue to operate, provide jobs, pay taxes, and be a great environmental steward while doing so,” according to an email obtained by ProPublica. (The health department’s Howanitz said that he and other air pollution regulators never met with BBA employees or Jay Justice because of the pending litigation. Neither the BBA nor Justice responded to multiple requests for comment.)
One week later, a Bluestone attorney named Alan Truitt stepped inside a courtroom in downtown Birmingham. Truitt, a seasoned defender of corporate polluters, urged the judge assigned to Bluestone’s appeal to give the company more time to repair the plant. Truitt had warned in an emergency filing that if the plant shuttered — even temporarily — it would be damaged beyond the point of repair. He pleaded for the judge to act in a way that would avoid the “permanent loss” of jobs for hard-working Alabamans.
The judge decided to let Bluestone stay open until the appeal was finished. Less than a month later, however, the company suspended production after most of the plant’s coke ovens had broken down.
When asked by a West Virginia TV reporter at a press conference last November about the violations leading up to the shutdown, Gov. Justice shifted blame to previous owners, noting that the “plant had been bankrupt, for all practical purposes, bankrupt two different times prior to us getting it.”
Despite Gov. Justice’s vow at the press conference “to do the right stuff,” his family was notorious for amassing huge debts that often went unpaid, according to lawsuits. Plaintiffs including miners and the U.S. Department of Justice have won judgments or forced settlements worth more than $128 million against the family’s companies, according to a 2020 ProPublica investigation. Mounting debts slowed the company’s progress to reopen the Birmingham plant. In the three years since the Justices bought the plant, vendors have sued Bluestone for more than $8 million over unpaid bills for equipment, utilities and services provided.
This past May, at a hearing that concerned nearly $900,000 owed to the city for unpaid business license taxes and fees, Bluestone lawyer James Vercell Seal told the judge that the company is “doing a lot of infrastructure improvements” to get the plant running again. That same day, Seal told another judge that Bluestone was “unable to pay” its $1.8 million water bill because the plant was “not producing” any coke. This double standard frustrated vendors. “I feel like a bill collector,” a water utility attorney told the judge.
When word spread that the Jefferson County Board of Health might settle with Bluestone for less than $1 million, experts familiar with the coke plant’s operations struggled to understand why the penalty was so low. Stan Meiburg, a former EPA Acting Deputy Administrator who now runs Wake Forest University’s Center for Energy, Environment, and Sustainability, said the proposed $850,000 settlement is a “steep discount” from a maximum penalty that exceeds $60 million. (Howanitz said in a statement that the health department “does not comment on specific penalty calculations.”)
If the settlement is finalized, only a few options will remain to protect the people of north Birmingham, according to experts. The head of the Jefferson County Department of Health could deny Bluestone a permit if the company doesn’t fix enough of the problems with its pollution control equipment. If the department fails to do that, Meiburg said, the EPA could intervene by ordering the company to install toxic air monitoring and pay more fines to deter it from repeating its past violations.
Bluestone publicly declared it had spent “tens of millions of dollars” to make the plant “more compliant.” But experts say that figure is far too low: Rebuilding the 35th Avenue plant’s coke ovens, they say, could cost more than $150 million.
“Bluestone should never be given another permit,” said one coke plant expert familiar with the plant’s operations, who did not want to be named out of fear of retribution. “It’s bad for residents. It’s bad for workers. Nobody would win except for Bluestone.”
With each day that passes, the idea of moving away from Collegeville becomes easier for Mabry — but the act itself becomes more difficult. Repeated failures to control emissions from high-polluting plants have contributed to the decimation of his neighborhood’s property values. Homes in Collegeville have sold for as little as $1,000.
Mabry said the four-bedroom house he built with his own hands is worth much less than it should be, effectively trapping him there. That house, along with his childhood home and several other structures on the property, would cost about $350,000 to replace, according to his homeowners insurance policy. But when he recently got an appraisal on his property, it was valued at around $75,000.
Birmingham Mayor Woodfin, who has an ambitious plan to buy out property owners near the plant for a fair price, has seen signs of harm to these communities — Collegeville in particular — throughout his life. He attended elementary school less than a mile from the 35th Avenue plant and as a teenager lived at his aunt’s house, a short walk from Carver High School.
In 2018, during his first year as mayor, Woodfin toured part of the Superfund site near the old Carver High, where EPA officials in recent years have stored mounds of toxic dirt removed from people’s yards. After seeing the neighborhood remain in that condition for that long, Woodfin wanted to do more as mayor. He said his staff has since crafted a $37 million blueprint known as “The Big Ask” to address some of the damage to north Birmingham. The 60-page document, which has not yet been released to the public, calls for more than $19 million to pay for property buyouts within the Superfund site. Another portion would help renters, including those in Collegeville’s public housing complex, relocate. Millions of dollars more would be spent to revitalize the area for those who want to stay.
While Woodfin supports Birmingham funding part of The Big Ask, he believes the city should not pay for the buyouts alone. But no other government agencies have come to the table. Heard, the spokesperson for the Jefferson County Board of Health, wouldn’t say if it would devote the fines collected from a Bluestone settlement to help fund the proposal. The EPA said it doesn’t plan to help fund the relocation of residents. The agency pointed out that it has so far spent $45 million on the Superfund cleanup efforts and intends to spend up to $100 million total, covering the full cost of reducing health risks from contaminated soil. President Joe Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure bill is providing $3.5 billion to the EPA for accelerating cleanups at Superfund sites, but agency officials said much of the initial $1 billion installment is meant to clear the backlog of work at previously unfunded sites.
Woodfin said plant owners in north Birmingham should pay their fair share of The Big Ask. Corporations across the country, from Juliette, Georgia, to Murray Acres, New Mexico, have bought out residents after dangerous chemicals leaked out of waste sites. But the odds of Bluestone contributing are slim, considering that the company has told the EPA that it doesn’t even have the money to cover the cost of protecting residents from future harm by cleaning up the legacy waste of the 35th Avenue plant.
But even if Woodfin finds funding for The Big Ask, it only covers buyout offers for a third of the more than 2,100 properties in the Superfund site. When ProPublica pointed out that the plan excludes most property owners in Collegeville, Woodfin acknowledged that everyone in the Superfund site should be eligible. Unless the plan changes, Mabry, whose property is closer to the 35th Avenue plant than almost every other resident, will be left out. | https://wallstreetwindow.com/2022/09/the-tragedy-of-north-birmingham-max-blau-graphics-by-shane-loeffler/ | 2022-09-06T08:38:21Z | https://wallstreetwindow.com/2022/09/the-tragedy-of-north-birmingham-max-blau-graphics-by-shane-loeffler/ | false | 4 |

Melbourne, Sept 6 (PTI) Cricket Australia (CA) on Tuesday appointed Simon Longstaff as its first "Independent Ethics Commissioner".
Longstaff was previously associated with the CA in 2018 when the infamous ball-tampering scandal rocked world cricket.
Longstaff's scathing review of the incident also led to the resignation of the board's then chairman, David Peever, that year, shortly after the incident.
"As Executive Director of The Ethics Centre, Dr Longstaff led the independent organisational review into Australian cricket in 2018.
"CA has actioned the majority of recommendations of this report and Dr Longstaff's pivotal role in the review makes him an ideal candidate to take up this position," Cricket Australia said in a release.
Longstaff will work collaboratively with the board, state and territory associations and the Australian Cricketers' Association.
"The creation of the role of CA Ethics Commissioner, and Dr Longstaff's appointment, are significant steps for Australian cricket," Dr Lachlan Henderson, CA Chair, said.
"Not only have we embraced the key recommendations of The Ethics Centre Review, this initiative will help to ensure the best process to review ethical issues in cricket that might arise in the future.
“Having led the 2018 review, Dr Longstaff has a detailed understanding of the challenges the game has faced and the progress that has been made in recent times. We look forward to working with him for the betterment of cricket," he added.

Best multi cookers UK 2022: the best electric and multi function cookers including the Ninja Foodi Max
Will a multi-cooker make life in the kitchen easier? We review the best around - so you can throw your food in a pot, progamme it and walk away
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement.
Multi cookers - what are they for?
Still watching over pots and pans bubbling on the stove top? Give yourself a break. You need to discover how a multi cooker can make cooking faster, simpler and a whole lot less labour intensive.
Programme and walk away, leaving more time to get on with other things or simply destress at the end of the day. Some of our favourites here can also be programmed to slow or pressure cook while you’re out, leaving meals hot and ready for your return.
How to choose a multi cooker
Most Popular
In a range of specs and from budget to bling, all the multi cookers we tested seemed a bit complicated at first. Be warned that there’s a bit of effort required to understand each product’s individual functions and capabilities and you won’t blunder through without reading the manual or watching a video tutorial. Once mastered, though, you’ll be hooked.
What can they do?
Some models pressure cook; great for cuts of meat or beans and pulses you’d spend hours cooking on the stove. Others use conventional heat and will also chop or shred ingredients in the cooking pan, prepping veg or smoothing soups and sauces. Each has different rates of heat, pressure and timings you’ll soon suss out, storming ahead to try new dishes and speed up old favourites.
Whichever one you choose, look at the dimensions of the casing as some have a large footprint which can take up precious countertop space. That may not be a problem, however, as you start to use it more and more and wonder how you ever lived without it.

Ninja Foodi Max
There’s a full range of functions you’ll love on the Foodi. Not only will this powerful multi cooker use pressure cooking to slash cooking times, there’s no need to transfer food to the oven or grill to crisp it up – just remove the sealed pressure cooker top and lower the hinged lid to roast, grill or air fry the ingredients.
The instructions on this model are pretty intuitive, and it didn’t take long at all to master one-pot roasts and weekday dinners.
When our tester got cooking that meant crispy chicken skin on a succulent bird, a delicious, charred finish on fall-off-the-bone ribs and bubbling cheese on fast potatoes gratin.
Great results all round, but we found it was rather large to store away when not in use.
Key specs – Dimensions: 33x35x39cm; Capacity: 7.5l; Pre Sets: No; Functions: Pressure Cook, Air Crisp, Slow Cook, Grill, Steam, Sear/Saute, Bake/Roast; Power: 1760 watts

{{/hasItems}} {{#items}} {{/items}}Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus
You may already have met an Instant Pot evangelist who will tell you how this gadget has revolutionised their mealtimes.
Once tried, it’s easy to see how the Duo Evo Plus model could make you fall in love with one-pot cooking, with its ability to fry, steam, sous vide, dehydrate as well as pressure cook. This model has all the bells and whistles, so check the whole range out if you’re happy with the basics.
What did our tester love about this model? The large, clear display with its range of pre sets, a lengthy keep-warm function, the quality of the inner pot and the way dishes like curry or chilli and rice could be ‘stacked’ and cooked all at once, perfectly.
Online recipes, forums, Facebook groups and vloggers will inspire you to try new things and speedy ways of cooking dishes that were too laborious to cook often.
Our favourite of the models we tried.

{{/hasItems}} {{#items}} {{/items}}Crock Pot Express
The brand you’d normally associate with slow cooking got a whole lot speedier when they added this pressure cooker to their range. It has a generous, family-sized inner pot that will surprise you with the amount of food it can cook. When testing, we coiled three whole rack of baby back ribs inside and the results were incredibly tender after only 20 minutes of cook time.
The basic keys and functions are easy to find your way around and you’ll be able to use the pre-sets to programme timings and levels of pressure to make for perfect meals and keep them warm for up to two hours.
As with all pressure cookers, it can take a bit of skill to get the levels of moisture right. You must add liquid to your dish somehow to allow that pressure to build but that can be tricky to gauge. Our tester found this model’s saute function great for reducing and perfecting sauces and stews after cooking if she’d added too much, so it’s a versatile machine.
Key specs – Dimensions: 35x31x34cm; Capacity: 5.6l; Pre Sets: Meat/Stew, Beans/Chili, Rice/Risotto, Yogurt, Poultry, Dessert, Soup; Functions: Pressure, Slow Cook, Steam, Brown/Saute, Keep Warm; Power:1000 watts

This clever multi cooker will have you cooking better, faster and with more imagination – we loved it.
If you need inspiration or a little help, just use the integral recipes or the app on your phone or tablet to find your perfect dish, then it will literally walk you through its creation, step by step.
Our testers were a busy family, working late or playing sports in the evenings, so even when the meal was a basic one such as chicken and veg, having hot food ready and waiting for everyone at different times was brilliant.
Come the weekend, it was time to get more adventurous, with curries, risottos and veggie stews which were so much tastier and better for them than their usual ready meals.
The non-stick inner pot on this model washed like a dream and the machine looked great in the kitchen. Recommended for anyone who wants to change the way they eat to something speedier, healthier and more inspiring.
Key specs – Dimensions: 35.5x35x38cm; Capacity: 6l; Pre Sets: 100 recipes plus Tefal app; Functions: Pressure Cook, Gentle Cook, Steam, Brown, Simmer, Reheat, Keep Warm; Power: 1450 watts
Mini Multicooker
A smaller option for solo cooks, this cute mini multi cooker doesn’t take up much room compared to the others we tested. The lightest of the machines here, it’s great for those with mobility issues as a handle swings over the top making it really easy to move around or hide away in a cupboard when not in use.
No pressure cooking here, just a fast option which boosts heat and will have veg, hearty stews, even cakes ready quickly and without fuss.
Our tester loved it as an additional tool when cooking on the stove top, with no need to worry about rice boiling over as she concentrated on other things.
It was cooked to perfection using the pre set button and kept warm until dinner time.
Key specs – Dimensions: 23.5x28x20cm; Capacity: 1.8l; Pre Sets: White Rice, Brown Rice, Quick Rice, Oatmeal, Quinoa, Cake, Yoghurt; Functions: Quick Cook, Slow Cook Power:400 watts

{{/hasItems}} {{#items}} {{/items}}Kitchenaid Artisan Cook Processor
The best-looking multi cooker we tested, this weighty, well-built piece of kit looks so stylish you’ll want to show it off, especially if you’ve already got KitchenAid’s best-selling Artisan mixer.
You’ll find yourself using this versatile machine more and more as you learn its capabilities. Our tester loved the retro styling of this model, which comes in a range of trad KitchenAid colours, and the quality of the feel – the stainless steel bowl, for example, was top quality and she thought the generous grip handles on either side were a useful addition when dealing with hot food.
The Cook Processor comes with a recipe book and app and has six pre settings so once you’ve used the multi blade to prep your ingredients you’ll be able to steam, sear and stew as well as make the most amazing bread dough and whip up smooth sauces.
There’s a Food Processor kit available if you’d like to add to this set-up, making it a one-stop wonder that can pretty much do it all in the kitchen.
Key specs - Dimensions: 40x34x41cm; Capacity: 4.5l; Pre sets: No; follow recipes on app; Functions: Boil, Fry, Stew, Steam, Puree, Dough; Power: 1500 watts

Rail blockade in Hooghly over cancellation of trains
- Country:
- India
Services on the Howrah-Bardhaman main line of the Eastern Railway were affected on Tuesday owing to a blockade by passengers at Khanyan station in West Bengal's Hooghly district, demanding increase in frequency of suburban EMU trains, an official said.
Due to pre-non-interlocking work at Rosulpur, several trains on the Howrah-Bardhaman main and chord lines have either been cancelled or short-terminated between September 3 and 13.
Demanding restoration of some trains up to Bardhaman during peak hours, especially in the early morning when traders and workers travel to Kolkata for work, commuters blocked tracks at Khanyan station on the main line, the official said.
The blockade, which started at 6.50 am, was lifted at 10.50 am after discussions between the agitators and the railway authorities.
It has been decided that some trains, including one in the early morning from Bardhaman to Howrah via main line will be restored from Wednesday, the ER official said.
He said that during the non-interlocking work for construction of third line between Rosulpur and Saktigarh, a total of 54 mail/express trains will remain cancelled, four mail/express trains will be diverted.
As many as 19 EMU locals will be short-terminated and short-originated from Memari to Howrah on September 14 and 25, while locals will follow the same procedure on September 15 and 16, the official said.

'India's GDP Growth Will Be More Constrained Next Year'
The lagging impact of monetary policy actions and interest rate hikes, both across the world and in India, are going to hit India's GDP growth in 2023, cautions Dharmakirti Joshi, chief economist at rating agency CRISIL
Mumbai: India's latest gross domestic product (GDP) numbers indicate 13.5% growth during the April to June 2022 quarter. How does this compare with GDP growth in previous years, particularly before and after the Covid-19 pandemic disruption?
To help us understand the new GDP numbers in this context, we spoke with Dharmakirti Joshi, chief economist at rating agency CRISIL.
Edited excerpts:
First, how should we look at India's latest GDP numbers, standalone? Second, how do we look at India's overall economic output, in terms of where we are today versus where we were, or where we could be?
GDP growth still being held back.
I think the 13.5% GDP growth that we saw in the first quarter [of fiscal year 2022-23] has to be seen with respect to the fact that this was the first quarter in the last three fiscal years which was not functionally disrupted by the Covid-19 [pandemic], so contact-based services rebounded very sharply. Thus, there was a base effect, because in the April to June quarter last year, we had the [second wave driven by the] Delta variant, and before that was the beginning of the Covid-19 [pandemic]. So this [growth] happened [compared to] a somewhat weaker base. On top of that base effect, we got the rebound in contact-based services, which were [at] quite low levels and are still trailing the pre-pandemic levels. That's one aspect.
The second way to look at the GDP is to define GDP from the demand side as consumption--private consumption, plus government consumption, plus exports minus imports, plus investment. So what we're seeing in the data right now is a pick up in the private consumption part, which has rebounded quite strongly. The second part of the GDP which is positive is investment, where investment as a percentage of GDP has continued to rise.
But what is holding the GDP back is 'exports minus imports'. Because global growth is slowing, exports are slowing. And since imports are very sticky, imports continue to rise. So clearly that part is subtracting quite a lot from GDP. This is visible in the first quarter data and will be visible in the next quarters that lie ahead. That's one way of looking, numerically, at what's driving and what's not driving [GDP growth].
If you look at GDP from the supply side, as I explained earlier, it's the contact-based services rebound which is supporting the GDP [growth] most. I think agriculture has been reasonably good and there is a muted recovery in industry.
Is private consumption at its highest ever? Is there any benchmark?
Rebounding private consumption behind GDP growth.
Private consumption as a percentage of GDP is around 59.9%. This is the first quarter where we have seen a rebound in private consumption. Historically, if I take you back to the 1950s, private consumption was 70-80% of the GDP and it has gradually been coming down and investments have become stronger than private consumption. So in the two years of Covid-19, private consumption was weakening and was the slowest to recover, even in 2021-22.
So I think this is the first time in the last three years that private consumption has rebounded decisively, at an aggregate level, and that's partly because a lot of contact-based services, which were not being consumed earlier, are being consumed now. So this is a kind of pent-up demand being satisfied.
Where does the gross value added, or the total economic output, stand if you were to look at it from a five-year perspective?
GDP growth reflecting Covid-19 permanent loss.
Another way to look at GDP is where you would have been and where you are. Let's assume there was no Covid-19. Then I think India's GDP would have grown at the trend level, which was around 6.5% per year. Thus India's GDP today would have been about 10% higher than where it is. So we've actually permanently lost about 10% of GDP and we cannot bridge that figure until we grow extremely fast, which is about 12-13% per annum, for the next three to four years. So that permanent loss stays with us, at least in the medium run.
In 2019-20, before Covid-19, we were looking at GDP growth of 3.7%. Was that figure an aberration? How does it influence subsequent GDP figures?
Covid-19 extended GDP growth down cycle.
What happens is that the economy moves in cycles. It's never a straight line. If you look at the last 50 years, there are periods when we grow above the trend, and periods when we grow below the trend. So before Covid-19, we were growing below the trend, and a lift from 2019-20 levels would have taken place. Now, that got disrupted by Covid-19, so that brought the GDP down much more. So in a way, [Covid-19] not only extended the down cycle, but it also made it very prominent, so prominent that the economy contracted by 6.6%.
If we were to look at the overall economic performance, there are some factors that hold growth back and other factors that accelerate it. What are those factors today?
Strong external headwinds against GDP growth.
I think what is accelerating growth, which I already spoke about, was the base effect. Last year, all quarters were disrupted, as well as the year before that. So this is the first time we got a statistical lift to growth. That's one part. What is working for the economy right now is investment, because these have been low for a very long time. Reserve Bank of India data also show that capacity utilisation is rising in the economy. So that prepares the ground for the revival of private investment.
But I think there is another force, which is economic uncertainty, which holds it back. [There is a] very muted increase in private investment, so the central government is doing the heavy lifting right now. State government investments are still 6% below what they were last year during the same quarter. So overall, investment is helping.
What's going to cloud the recovery is the external sector now. That is going to be a big challenge because our exports are very sensitive to global demand, and not so much to exchange rates. So a depreciating rupee doesn't help much. Exports will slow down, which was visible in the August data that came out on Saturday. Imports are sticky. We have no option but to import most stuff. I think that is causing the trade deficit to go up. As a consequence, it is becoming a challenge for the GDP. So demand, now on, will have to be domestically driven. The external support for demand is dwindling.
The external situation in a year's time looks very tricky. We're heading into winter, energy prices are rising, most Western economies--particularly in Europe--are already gearing up for some tough times, and interest rates are rising. All of this is going to affect capital flows and demand. How is this going to impact us, and to what extent?
GDP growth to be more constrained next year.
I wouldn't be concerned so much about this year's GDP growth, as we may still get above 7%. But next year, I think two things are going to hit us. One is the monetary policy [actions] or interest rate hikes across the world, which you just mentioned. These have a lagging impact on the economy, which could take three or four quarters, depending on how fast the transmission is in a particular economy. All that is going to show up in 2023. Even interest rate hikes in India have not impacted growth as yet. Financial conditions have tightened a bit, but not so tight as to restrict growth. But I think by next year, we could see the lagged impact of rate hikes play out. So the GDP [growth] will be more constrained next year, than this year.
What will be the impact of inflation and price rises?
Inflation is affecting both individuals and companies.
I think we all understand inflation is a tax, and it's more of a tax on the poor. We've seen that the urban economy has faced somewhat lower inflation than the rural economy this year. [Inflation] destroys the purchasing power of particularly lower income brackets, because they spend more on food and energy. [Inflation] holds their spending power back and this is reflected in the FMCG [fast moving consumer goods] data that came out for the first quarter, where the volume growth was not so good but the value growth was good, because it was just inflation that was driving companies' top lines.
For an individual, [inflation] is not good news. For companies also, it's not so good news, because when the demand in the system is not so strong, companies push the input cost increases to end consumers to protect their margins. And I think they have. So this last quarter that has just gone by, what we found was that company margins have come down despite [this] pass through, which means they have not been fully able to pass through [the input cost increase].
So [inflation] is a stress on companies as well as on individuals. And that is the reason why, despite improving consumer confidence, I think the RBI still puts [the economy] in the pessimistic zone. It's not completely recovered.

Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS) will announce its Q4FY22 earnings after the market closes on Thursday, September 8, 2022. The company is benefitting from strong demand for its offerings despite macro challenges and economic uncertainties. Given the strong momentum in its business, Zscaler is well-positioned to exceed Street’s projections in the quarter.
Zscaler: Recent Past and the Near Future
The graph below shows that Zscaler has consistently surpassed analysts’ earnings estimates over the past several quarters.
During the last reported quarter, Zscaler delivered adjusted earnings of $0.17 a share, compared to Wall Street’s expectations of $0.11. Its revenue surged 63% year-over-year, while billings increased 54%. Further, Zscaler generated a free cash flow margin of 15%.
Commenting on its Q3 performance, Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry stated that the macro headwinds and uncertainty are driving “large, multi-year commitments for multiple product pillars of Zscaler platform as periods of uncertainty can act as a catalyst for change.”
Further, increasing cyber security threats due to the ongoing digitization and cloud adoption drive demand for Zscaler’s products and services.
Thanks to strong demand and secular tailwinds, Zscaler expects total revenue in the range of $304 million to $306 million in Q4, implying year-over-year growth of 54% to 55%. Meanwhile, it expects to deliver earnings per share of $0.20 to $0.21. Analysts expect Zscaler to post earnings of $0.20 a share.
Is Zscaler Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Given the strength in its business and consistent earnings beat, Wall Street analysts maintain a bullish outlook on Zscaler stock ahead of its earnings.
On TipRanks, ZS stock commands a Strong Buy rating based on 13 Buys and one Hold. Meanwhile, ZS’ average price forecast of $212.15 implies upside potential of 46.2%.
Bottom Line: Strong Fundamentals to Support Growth
Zscaler’s revenues have grown at a CAGR of 52% between 2017 and 2021. Meanwhile, its customer base, with $100K in ARR (annual recurring revenue), has grown at a CAGR of 45% during the same period. This year is no different, with its revenues and high-value customer base increasing rapidly.
Zscaler is poised to benefit from long-term secular tailwinds, including the increased spending on digital transformation and the rise in cyber threats. The company is witnessing an increase in new $1M+ ACV (annual contract value) deals across major geographies and verticals, which is positive news. Further, solid billings and a high retention rate augur well for growth.

New Delhi: Buoyed by the ease-of-doing business and friendly local manufacturing policies, Apple’s ‘Make in India’ iPhones will potentially account for close to 85 per cent of its total iPhone production for the country this year, industry experts said on Tuesday.
The import of iPhones to India is likely to come down to 15 per cent this year (from 50 per cent in 2019), while domestic manufacturing by the Cupertino-based tech giant is set to go up substantially to 85 per cent, according to market intelligence firm CyberMedia Research (CMR).
“Driven by a conducive policy environment and deepening manufacturing ecosystem in India, Apple’s Made-in-India iPhones will potentially account for close to 85 per cent of its total iPhone production this year,” Prabhu Ram, Head-Industry Intelligence Group (IIG), CMR, told IANS.
With the iPhone 14 series, Apple’s iPhone production in India is slated to jump from 7 million iPhones in 2021 to touch a new milestone of around 12 million iPhones in 2022, marking a significant growth of more than 71 per cent (year-on-year), Ram noted.
As per CMR, the contribution of domestic iPhone manufacturing in India jumped from 50 per cent in 2019 to 73 per cent in 2021.
In the meantime, the percentage of imported iPhones to India decreased from 50 per cent in 2019 to 45 per cent in 2020, 27 per cent in 2021 and around 15 per cent this year — showing a significant amake in India’ boom for Apple.
According to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will start the production of new iPhone 14 in India “about six weeks” later from China.
“The iPhone 14’s mass production schedule in India this year is still about six weeks behind China, but the gap has improved significantly,” Kuo said in a tweet this month.
“My latest survey indicates Foxconn’s iPhone production site in India will ship the new 6.1-inch iPhone 14 almost simultaneously with China for the first time in the second half of 2022 (India being one quarter or more behind in the past),” Kuo added.
It is an important milestone for Apple in building a non-Chinese iPhone production site in India.
As the time difference between India and China has narrowly decreased in terms of manufacturing iPhones in the country, it is now expected that both countries would produce iPhone 15 simultaneously in 2023.
The tech giant has been working with its suppliers and ramping up its production in India over the years.
Apple sold over 1.2 million iPhones in the country in the second quarter (Q2) this year, registering a massive 94 per cent growth (year-on-year).
Apple first started manufacturing iPhones in India in 2017, with iPhone SE.
The tech giant manufactures some of its most advanced iPhones in the country, including iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 at the Foxconn facility while iPhone SE and iPhone 12 are being assembled at the Wistron factory in the country. | https://telanganatoday.com/apple-set-to-produce-85-iphones-in-india-in-big-push-for-govts-local-push | 2022-09-06T09:21:13Z | https://telanganatoday.com/apple-set-to-produce-85-iphones-in-india-in-big-push-for-govts-local-push | true | 10 |
Auckland-based private cloud pioneer OneNet is exiting Datacom's Orbit data centre in favour of CDC Data Centres' newly-launched facilities.
Co-founder Dr Michael Snowden said having invested substantially in low-energy server hardware and migrating the company's customer base to CDC’s Silverdale data centre, OneNet would now provide its private cloud computing management services under a co-location model.
The migration process began when Datacom notified OneNet in late 2021 that it would need to have it vacate the data floor that it was currently using, Snowden told Reseller News.
"Datacom wanted to upgrade this particular floor," he said. "While assistance was offered by Datacom, the complex inter-rack cabling effectively meant that a complete rebuild would be almost as costly. Hence, OneNet was able to consider a complete move for a similar cost."
The migration of servers began in mid-August, around the same time the data centre was opened for business, and would run through to the end of November.
While OneNet was a customer of CDC, Snowden said, the companies had a close working relationship and it effectively resold CDC's services through OneNet’s client base.
"The current market understanding of ‘private cloud’ is that an organisation, such as OneNet, offers its cloud services to selected clients," Snowden explained.
"The scale is obviously much smaller than a hyperscale cloud, such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon (AWS). Another key difference is that, with public clouds such as Azure and AWS, anyone with a credit card can use their services.
"In contrast, OneNet selects its clients based on careful market segmentation criteria and builds close and enduring business relationships with its clients."
OneNet had co-located its private computing cloud in Datacom’s Orbit data centre for around 15 years.
As the first organisation to operate from one of the country’s new hyperscale facilities, Snowden warned that New Zealand’s tech worker capacity was set to come under even more pressure as the number of such data centres grew.
Pandemic-led demand had put the cloud computing market on a rapid, upward trajectory - with a corresponding increase in the need for skilled IT staff.
At the same time, it would accelerate a move to the cloud among many large corporates and government agencies, placing further pressure on a constrained labour pool.
“New Zealand’s uptake of cloud computing has been lagging behind many other countries for some time. However, industry data shows a significant increase this year, with local spending on public cloud services set to grow by 26 per cent to $2.5 billion," he said.
The lag in adoption could be partially attributed to a reticence amongst organisations about having their data in the hands of a third party, particularly if governed under a foreign country’s legislation. However, another barrier was the significant investment in customised legacy applications made by Kiwi companies - systems that could not easily be hosted in a cloud environment.
“The arrival of hyperscale data centres is set to change that, helping to send a 'reassurance' message to the market and addressing many of the security and customisation concerns that have previously held back this migration,” Snowden said
New Zealand businesses were also adapting to the shortage of IT staff by moving to an infrastructure as a service model.
“What we know about the retention of skilled IT workers is that they need to be continually challenged on a professional level," he said.
“Often working in-house on a single system does not provide exposure to the latest technologies or a variety of organisations at different stages in their development."
When businesses struggled to compete for high-quality staff they often looked to outsource their infrastructure to providers that could attract and retain this resource by offering a more diverse work environment.
“This marks a fundamental shift in a traditional business model where organisations are moving from hosting their own on-premises hardware to providers which can run it in the cloud on their behalf,” he said.
Snowden said his cloud computing firm managed the technology needs of some of the country’s largest industrial manufacturers and service providers and had seen strong growth across its Australasian customer base since the start of the pandemic.
According to Immigration New Zealand, ICT roles make up 35 per cent of all professions on the government’s long-term skills shortage list. Data from technology industry bodies suggested over 10,000 positions were unfilled in the sector.
CDC Data Centres has established the country’s first two hyperscale data centres, each a 14MW, Tier 3 facility and several times larger than existing local data centres, Snowden said. It also used one hundred per cent renewable and carboNZero Certified electricity and an innovative closed-loop cooling system which requires almost no water to operate. | https://www.reseller.co.nz/article/701271/onenet-exits-datacom-orbit-data-centre-favour-cdc/ | 2022-09-06T09:23:21Z | https://www.reseller.co.nz/article/701271/onenet-exits-datacom-orbit-data-centre-favour-cdc/ | false | 1 |
Today’s RV review is of the Winnebago Micro Minnie 1808FBS, a smaller trailer that may be a good choice for some people who hope to tow with something other than a large pickup. Or just want something smaller.
There are two ways to look at smaller campers. When you think about something like an r•pod, those are a good choice for smaller tow vehicles because they’re a narrow body camper. But the wheels are as far apart as a more traditional travel trailer as they extend beyond the body of the trailer.
The advantage of the narrower body is pretty simple—easier towing. The less surface area of the trailer, the easier it is to pull that thing through the air. That means the less energy it consumes to overcome that wind resistance.
That can translate into a trailer that puts less strain on a larger tow vehicle or makes it more possible for some smaller tow vehicles to tow. Things like some SUVs or mid-sized pickups, that sort of thing.
The way Winnebago has implemented this sort of thinking is to make the entire trailer narrower, including the axles, so the entire package fits within the envelope of the width, which is seven feet wide in this case.
Page Contents
Two axles on the Winnebago Micro Minnie 1808FBS
Unlike many of these smaller trailers, Winnebago also puts two axles on theirs. This also helps a bit with towing and weight distribution. Further, the current models sport Goodyear Wrangler off-road tires and a torsion axle suspension.
These also have a huck-bolted frame constructed of high strength, low alloy steel. That is stronger yet lighter than more traditional steel materials. Though, to be fair, this is the same brand of chassis that I managed to split in half on a drainage ditch in the desert, though on a single-axle trailer. Still, it had been welded on more than one occasion.
What’s inside the Winnebago Micro Minnie 1808FBS
To accomplish the smaller envelope, you get a smaller interior as well, thanks to those stinky laws of physics. This trailer features all the stuff you’d want to fully play house, but there are a few compromises. Some of those might be deal breakers, others might not. There is no one right answer.
First of all, the bed is something I know some are going to write in about. It is an east-west bed measuring 60” X 74”. I know some people are going to write with something like “don’t they know Americans are taller nowadays?” To which I say, not all Americans.
If you’re taller and this doesn’t work for you, keep looking. If you’re not or this does, this could be a good choice. I sincerely appreciate the comments. But, sheesh, there are all different solutions and this is just one.
I know more campers who are opposed to the east-west bed arrangement, though. It seems that the younger you are, the less you are bothered by this type of situation.
There is a surprisingly decent amount of cabinet and drawer space in the Micro Minnie 1808FBS. In fact, there’s quite a bit more than I’ve seen in some larger campers. Somehow Winnebago has really pulled drawer and cabinet space out of the sky for this model.
The cabinet that is between the stove and the bed is interesting in that it has a hanging bar at the top but removable shelves. You can use this as either hanging storage or a pantry. Options are good.
Several options in the interior
Speaking of options, there are several with the interior of the Winnebago Micro Minnie 1808FBS, including refrigeration. I like that Winnebago gives you the choice of a propane-electric gas absorption unit or a 12-volt compressor unit. In the various social media groups that I spend time in, there is a growing discontent for 12-volt compressor fridges by some campers owing to the amount of power some models consume.
I like the 12-volt fridges, but not all 12-volt fridges are created equally—by any stretch of the imagination. I wish buyers could have a choice, but not all buyers are going to want to pop for the rather significant price difference between the models.
Sort of like going to the appliance store and choosing between some cheaper brand and something like a Subzero. But you only get one choice if you go buy an RV. Well, two, really as you can choose between cooling methods.
The kitchen here is configured the way I’d like to see more travel trailers set up. There is just a three-burner propane stovetop and a convection microwave. I’m sure you’re tired of me and my dislike of tiny propane RV ovens, and I think this kind of arrangement makes more sense for more campers.
Another nifty thing is the flip-up counter extension, which really amplifies the amount of usable counter space.
But Winnebago totally cheaped out on the vent fan, putting only a small four-inch fan in the main body of the trailer and no stovetop vent. Come on, Winnebago. You did so many high-quality features in this trailer and then cheaped out on this? Kind of disappointing, frankly.
Boondocking and travel access
One of the things that really works well here is boondocking access. You can access the entire trailer with the single slide in.
Winnebago is now also including a single 190-watt solar panel to keep things topped off. These newer models ride on a higher suspension and sport Goodyear Wrangler off-road tires, so they are a bit more capable in terms of finding roads less traveled.
In conclusion
One of the people whose videos I follow is Robert Morales, aka Traveling Robert. For quite some time he traversed the country in a trailer like this and found it to be quite fine. His initial tow vehicle was an SUV, then a mid-sized pickup.
With Winnebago’s longer (three-year) warranty and generally better build quality, I can see these being a logical choice for a lot of travelers. I do wish they’d put something other than a cheap fan in these, as it’s such a glaring exception to an otherwise well-thought-through product.

While he isn't inherently connected to any major characters in Game of Thrones lore, the version brought to life on TV actually has a direct connection to the Sons of the Harpy, the group that tried to overthrow the rule of Daenerys in the original series.

The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Star Responds to Fans Surprised by Galadriel's Action Scenes
Down the list of goofy things that people are eager to complain about with regard to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is that the elf character Galadriel has her fair share of action scenes. Played by Morfydd Clark in the hit new Prime Video series, many fans still identify the character with Cate Blanchett's version from the feature films that doesn't lift a sword and spends the entire franchise pontificating on the likely failure of The Fellowship of the Ring. It's worth remembering that elves in Tolkien's mythology live for thousands of years and the one seen in The Lord of the Rings trilogy has been around for a long time, much longer than the one we see in The Rings of Power, and that's why she's out kicking ass the way she is.

Businesses are either in arrears or have defaulted on £8.4 billion of Government-backed Covid loans according to new figures released on Monday.
New numbers from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy show a big jump in claims on the Government guarantee from dozens of British banks.
By July the Government had paid out £1.2 billion to banks for loans that were not being repaid by small businesses.
It has more than tripled from the £350 million that the Treasury had been forced to cover under the Bounce Back Loan Scheme in March.
The banks are also asking the Government to pay them for another £2.6 billion in loans, up 63% since March.

It said that a further £1.4 billion worth of loan takers have defaulted on their repayments, down 26%. Many of those who had defaulted in March were likely among those who banks are now asking for payment for.
Meanwhile, businesses that borrowed a combined £3.2 billion had entered arrears, the department revealed, the same amount as three months earlier.
The news comes close to two and a half years since the launch of the Bounce Back Loan Scheme during the start of the pandemic.
It was launched to funnel money to small businesses up and down the UK that had been forced to stop running due to lockdowns.
Billions flew out the doors in the first days of the scheme, and by the end £46.6 billion had been lent. Companies could take up to £50,000 in a loan, or 25% of their turnover.
But the scheme also raised concerns over fraud. Checks on the businesses that took out a bounce back loan were minimal by necessity – the money had to get to companies as soon as possible.
Banks were told that if they could not get the money back from the companies, the Government would step in to cover the lost cash.
But fraud was also rife in the scheme. Lenders say they prevented £2.2 billion worth of loans going out to fraudsters but they suspect that £1.1 billion of loans still went to fraudsters.
“It is unfortunate that some have taken the decision to take advantage of this vital intervention by defrauding the scheme for their own financial gain,” the department said.
“The government has always been clear that anyone who sought to do so is at risk of prosecution.”

LONDON (AP) — As a child, Liz Truss marched in demonstrations against Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. As an adult, she came to admire Britain’s first female leader — and now she is about to enter No. 10 Downing St. with a Thatcherite zeal to transform the U.K.
Truss, Britain’s foreign secretary, was named winner Monday in the contest to replace the scandal-plagued Boris Johnson as Conservative Party leader and the country’s prime minister. The party said Truss won the votes of around 57% of Conservative members, compared with about 43% for ex-Treasury chief Rishi Sunak.
Truss, 47, will become Britain’s third female prime minister, after Thatcher, who governed from 1979 to 1990, and Theresa May, who held office from 2016 to 2019.
Conservative Party members have embraced Truss’ vows to slash taxes and red tape and keep up Britain’s staunch support for Ukraine. Some see echoes of the Iron Lady — as Thatcher was known — in Truss’ vision of a “network of liberty” binding democracies around the world.
To critics, Truss is an inflexible ideologue whose right-wing policies won’t help Britain weather the economic turmoil set off by the pandemic, Brexit and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Mark Littlewood, a libertarian commentator who has known Truss since their university days, said Britain’s new leader is less a conservative than a “radical,” who — like Thatcher — wants to “roll back the intervention of the state” in people’s lives.
“I’m expecting a lot of fireworks and a lot of controversy and a lot of action,” he said.
Born in Oxford in 1975, Mary Elizabeth Truss is the daughter of a math professor and a nurse, who took her on anti-nuclear and anti-Thatcher protests as a child, where she recalled shouting: “Maggie, Maggie, Maggie — out, out, out!”
In a 2018 speech, she said she began developing her own political views early, “arguing against my socialist parents in our left-wing household.”
The family lived in Paisley, Scotland, before moving to Leeds in northern England, where Truss attended a public high school — something that sets her apart from her many privately educated Conservative colleagues.
During the leadership campaign, Truss emphasized her relatively modest background. But she riled some former classmates and teachers when she said students at her school were “let down by low expectations, poor educational standards and a lack of opportunity.” The school’s alumni include academics, judges and several other members of Parliament.
Truss went on to Oxford University, where she studied philosophy, politics and economics — the degree of choice for many aspiring politicians — and was president of the university branch of the Liberal Democratic Party. The economically centrist Lib Dems back constitutional reform and civil liberties, and Truss was an enthusiastic member, putting up “Free the Weed” posters that called for decriminalization of marijuana and arguing in a speech for the abolition of the monarchy.
Littlewood, who was a fellow member of the Oxford Lib Dems and now heads the Institute for Economic Affairs, a free market think tank, remembers Truss as “headstrong and determined and outspoken.”
“You were never in any doubt where she stood on an issue or a person,” he said.
After Oxford, Truss joined the Conservative Party — “when it was distinctly unfashionable,” she later said.
She worked as an economist for energy company Shell and telecommunications firm Cable and Wireless, and for a right-of-center think tank while becoming involved in Conservative politics and espousing free market Thatcherite views. She served as a local councilor in London and ran unsuccessfully for Parliament twice before being elected to represent the eastern England seat of Southwest Norfolk in 2010.
She won the safely Conservative seat after a bump on the way — some local Conservatives were outraged when it was revealed she had had an affair with another MP when both were married to other people. Truss won over her critics, and her marriage survived. She and husband Hugh O’Leary, an accountant, have two teenage daughters.
She founded the Free Enterprise group of Thatcherite Tory lawmakers who produced “Britannia Unchained,” a political treatise that notoriously included the claim that British workers are “among the worst idlers in the world.”
David Laws, a former Cabinet minister who worked with Truss in government a decade ago, recalled her as energetic and “mind-bogglingly ambitious,” comparing her in his memoir to “a young Margaret Thatcher on speed.”
Truss got her first Cabinet job as food and environment secretary in 2014, making her biggest impression with a much-mocked speech in which she thundered that it was “a disgrace” that Britain imports two-thirds of its cheese.
In Britain’s 2016 referendum on whether to leave the European Union, Truss backed the losing “remain” side, though she says she was always a natural euroskeptic. Since the vote, she has won over Brexiteers with her uncompromising approach to the EU.
She became justice secretary, but she was demoted to a more junior role in the Treasury by May in 2017. When May was toppled by her repeated failure to break a political deadlock over Brexit, Truss was an early backer of Boris Johnson to replace her. When he won, Johnson made Truss trade secretary, a role in which she Instagrammed her way around the world signing post-Brexit trade deals and raising her profile.
In September 2021, she was appointed foreign secretary, Britain’s top diplomat. Her performance has drawn mixed reviews. Many praise her firm response to the invasion of Ukraine, and she secured the release of two British citizens jailed in Iran, where her predecessors had failed.
But EU leaders and officials who hoped she would bring a softer tone to Britain’s relations with the bloc have been disappointed. Amid trade wrangling, Truss introduced legislation to rip up parts of the binding U.K.-EU divorce agreement signed by both sides. The 27-nation bloc is taking legal action against Britain in return.
Truss has sometimes suggested the frequent comparisons to Thatcher are sexist, but at other times she has encouraged them. She has posed in a British Army tank in Eastern Europe, evoking an image of Thatcher during the Cold War. In a televised leadership debate, Truss sported a pussy-bow blouse just like one Thatcher used to wear.
By stressing her modest background, she is evoking comparisons to grocer’s daughter Thatcher, said Victoria Honeyman, associate professor of British politics at the University of Leeds — “the working-class girl done good.”
Truss’ own personality is hidden behind a stern public persona. Friends say she has a fun-loving side rarely glimpsed in public, and enjoys karaoke and blasting out tunes by Taylor Swift, Whitney Houston and Destiny’s Child.
Truss’ perceived loyalty to Johnson, who remains popular with many Tories, also helped her win. Many party members cited Sunak’s decision to quit Johnson’s Cabinet in July as a mark against him. Truss didn’t resign, saying she was a “loyal person” — though she had been courting party members for months at “fizz with Liz” events to build support for a potential leadership bid.
Conservatives have embraced Truss’ optimistic message of liberation through less government, which is reminiscent of Ronald Reagan’s “morning in America” boosterism.
The wider British electorate is likely to prove a harder audience to win over. Times are tough and getting tougher as inflation soars and Britain’s cost-of-living crisis worsens. Truss’ focus on stimulating the economy through tax cuts is unlikely to provide much short-term relief.
Left-of-center commentator Will Hutton, writing in The Observer newspaper, said Truss’ economic ideas were “ruinous nonsense … persistently anti-Europe, obsessed with tax cuts, buying into the faith that nameless regulations are shackling business.”
Truss doesn’t have long to persuade voters that she is on the right track. The next national election must be held in two years.

Apple is planning to launch a brand-new Apple Watch model at its Far Out event on Wednesday, and according to the latest rumors, it’s going to be the biggest ever change to Apple’s wearable.
91Mobiles has published purported CAD renders of the Apple Watch Pro and there are several new features. The main difference is the size, which looks to be significantly larger with very slim bezels. Rumors have said the new watch could be between 48mm and 50mm. It’s difficult to get a real sense of just how big the watch is based on the diagram, but it has a noticeably larger frame.
The Digital Crown remains, but it’s now positioned on a raised platform with the microphone and side button. On the left side is the speaker and what appears to be a new button. The sides of the watch are still rounded, and the body appears to be quite thick as compared to the current models.
In a follow-up tweet, Mark Gurman wrote that “the new button on the left side is probably programmable to do whatever you want. For instance, launching a specific app, feature or workout.”
The Apple Watch Pro is expected to have a larger battery and extra fitness features as well as a higher price tag that could start as high as $899. It could be unveiled as a “One More Thing” at the Far Out event on Wednesday. | https://www.macworld.com/article/921220/apple-watch-pro-leak-design-display-extra-button.html | 2022-09-06T09:56:27Z | https://www.macworld.com/article/921220/apple-watch-pro-leak-design-display-extra-button.html | false | 1 |
US life expectancy plunged again in 2021 for second year in a row
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. life expectancy dropped for the second consecutive year in 2021, falling by nearly a year from 2020, according to a government report being released Wednesday.
In the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the estimated American lifespan has shortened by nearly three years. The last comparable decrease happened in the early 1940s, during the height of World War II.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials blamed COVID-19 for about half the decline in 2021, a year when vaccinations became widely available but new coronavirus variants caused waves of hospitalizations and deaths. Other contributors to the decline are longstanding problems: drug overdoses, heart disease, suicide and chronic liver disease.
“It’s a dismal situation. It was bad before and it’s gotten worse,” said Samuel Preston, a University of Pennsylvania demographer.
Life expectancy is an estimate of the average number of years a baby born in a given year might expect to live, given death rates at that time. It is “the most fundamental indicator of population health in this country,” said Robert Hummer, a University of North Carolina researcher focused on population health patterns.
U.S. life expectancy rose for decades, but progress stalled before the pandemic.
States not requiring student vaccinations this school yearIt was 78 years, 10 months in 2019. In 2020, it dropped to 77 years. Last year, it fell to about 76 years, 1 month.
The last time it was that low was in 1996.
Declines during the pandemic were worse for some racial groups, and some gaps widened. For example, life expectancy for American Indian and Alaskan Native people saw a decline of more than 6 1/2 years since the pandemic began, and is at 65 years. In the same span, life expectancy for Asian Americans dropped by about two years, and stands at 83 1/2.
Experts say there are many possible reasons for such differences, including lack of access to quality health care, lower vaccination rates, and a greater share of the population in lower-paying jobs that required them to keep working when the pandemic was at its worst.
The new report is based on provisional data. Life expectancy estimates can change with the addition of more data and further analysis. For example, the CDC initially said life expectancy in 2020 declined by about 1 year 6 months. But after more death reports and analysis came in, it ended up being about 1 year 10 months.
But it’s likely the declines in 2020 and 2021 will stand as the first two consecutive years of declining life expectancy in the U.S. since the early 1960s, CDC officials said.
Findings in the report:
—Life expectancy for women in the United States dropped about 10 months, from just under 80 years in 2020 to slightly more than 79 in 2021. Life expectancy for men dropped a full year, from about 74 years to 73.
—COVID-19 deaths were the main reason for the decline. The second largest contributor was deaths from accidental injuries — primarily from drug overdoses, which killed a record-breaking 107,000 Americans last year.
—White people saw the second biggest drop among racial and ethnic groups, with life expectancy falling one year, to about 76 years, 5 months. Black Americans had the third largest decline, falling more than eight months, to 70 years, 10 months
—Hispanic Americans had seen a huge drop in life expectancy in 2020 — four years. But in 2021, life expectancy for them dropped by about two months, to about 77 years, 7 months. Preston thinks good vaccination rates among Hispanics played a role.
The report also suggests gains against suicide are being undone.
U.S. suicides rose from the early 2000s until 2018. But they fell a little in 2019 and then more in 2020, the first year of the pandemic. Experts had wondered if that may have been related to a phenomenon seen in the early stages of wars and national disasters in which people band together and support each other.
The new report said suicide contributed to the decline in life expectancy in 2021, but it did not provide detail. According to provisional numbers from a public CDC database, the number of U.S. suicides increased last year by about 2,000, to 48,000. The U.S. suicide rate rose as well, from 13.5 per 100,000 to 14.1 — bringing it back up to about where it was in 2018.

The Minority in Parliament has threatened not to approve the budgetary allocation for the Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation if the government continues to ignore concerns over the SIM card re-registration exercise.
This was after the National Communications Authority on Sunday rolled out punitive measures to be meted out to persons who are yet to register their SIM cards.
SIM card users in Ghana who have not re-registered their SIM cards started facing punitive actions yesterday, Monday, September 5, 2022, ahead of the September 30 deadline.
Stakeholders have however argued that some persons are unable to re-register their SIM cards over delays in the rectification of information on their Ghana cards.
The Deputy Ranking Member of the Communications Committee of Parliament, Samuel Nartey George, said the government must work to address issues confronting the rectification and issuance of the Ghana cards.
“Last year when the Minister came [to Parliament], we refused to hear her budget when she had not submitted reports of the NCA,” Mr. George said.
“Let me serve notice that we will move everything within our means to ensure that the Ministry of Communications doesn’t get its budgetary approval for its agencies.”
Meanwhile, the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications is urging persons who have genuine concerns to consider petitioning the Minister for Communications and Digitalisation.
“I’m sure if they petition the Minister, that could be looked at,” Mr. Ashigbe said. | https://citinewsroom.com/2022/09/minority-vows-to-frustrate-communications-ministrys-budget-approval-over-sim-re-registration/ | 2022-09-06T10:04:18Z | https://citinewsroom.com/2022/09/minority-vows-to-frustrate-communications-ministrys-budget-approval-over-sim-re-registration/ | false | 1 |

Bed Bath & Beyond announces plans to close 150 stores
Retail chain Bed Bath & Beyond announced Wednesday that it plans to close more than 100 stores and lay off staff.
The company made the announcement in a news release, saying it has already identified and begun closing 150 “lower-producing” stores, and said that it “continues to evaluate its portfolio and leases, in addition to staffing.”
“We are embracing a straight-forward back-to-basics philosophy that focuses on better serving our customers, driving growth, and delivering business returns,” Sue Grove, director and interim CEO said in a statement. “In a short period of time, we have made significant changes and instituted enablers across our entire enterprise to regain our dominance as a preferred shopping destination for our customers’ favorite brands and exciting products.”
The company will be laying off 20% of its staff, CBS News reported. A full list of the stores that would be closing was not made available.
The company’s announcement came days after one of its investors sold much of their stake in the company, CNN reported.
Last week, Bloomberg reported that some suppliers are restricting or stopping shipments to Bed Bath & Beyond, because the company had fallen behind on payments.
In Wednesday’s news release, Bed Bath & Beyond said that it had secured $500 million in new financing, as well as reduced its plan for capital spending.

Gold prices rose on Tuesday as a pause in the US dollar rally and energy crisis in Europe drove some investors towards the safe-haven bullion.
Spot gold rose 0.5% to $1,718.30 per ounce as of 648 GMT. Prices earlier rose nearly 1% to a one-week high.
US gold futures gained 0.4% to $1,729.40.
The dollar index inched 0.1% lower but was not far from a 20-year peak scaled in the previous session.
“There’s been a bit of a safe-haven buying emanating out of this sort of burgeoning energy crisis in Europe,” said ANZ senior commodity strategist Daniel Hynes.
However, “it’s probably going to be a struggle to maintain any upward move considering the hawkish Fed (Federal Reserve) that we’ve got.”
An indefinite halt of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, Europe’s major supply route, has intensified fears of a recession in the region, with consumers hurt by soaring energy prices.
A survey on Monday also showed the euro zone is almost certainly entering a recession with a deepening cost-of-living crisis and a gloomy outlook.
Investors now eye the European Central Bank’s rate action when it meets on Thursday, while a hefty interest rate hike is also expected from Fed’s Sept. 20-21 policy meet.
Even though gold is seen as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainties, higher US interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding bullion and boosts the dollar.
“What could come to its (gold’s) rescue is weaker macro data (the August jobs number helped) and lower inflation readings…
But until that happens, rallies remain vulnerable,“ Edward Meir, an analyst with ED&F Man Capital Markets said in a note.
“We see a $1,650-$1,775 trading range prevailing.”
Meanwhile, a government source told Reuters, India’s gold imports in August halved from a year ago.

Many have accused them of being silent since the inception of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led administration.
Their silence was described as an inability to challenge the government they claim to be part of because a leading member, George Andah, became a deputy minister during the first term of the NPP government.
Many thought that after the Occupy Flagstaff House demonstration, which metamorphosed into the formation of a Civil Society Organisation in 2014, Occupy Ghana; there was going to be similar demonstrations given that the issues they protested over pertained under the current New Patriotic Party, NPP, government.
But two leaders of the group which was formed after a 'middle-class' demonstration in 2014 have been explaining why they are not on the streets demonstrating.
Ace Ankomah a leading member of OccupyGhana during an interview on Citi TV's 'The Point of View' show, Monday, September 5, explained:
"OccupyGhana did not exist on July 1, 2014. We attended [Occupy Flagstaff House] as individuals. We started meeting afterwards, the group – OccupyGhana – was formed in September. The people who should take the credit are not being credited with it.
"This is a group of young men and a woman who were called ‘concern citizens for responsible governance’. I was there for no more than 30 minutes…after I sat in my car and went away. I’m awfully flattered that my 15 seconds cameo is what brought a government down, when at the time they laughed at us…
"OccupyGhana has never staged a demonstration; we have never done that as a group because when we were founded, we said our battle is for the hearts and minds. We decided that our fights will be for the hearts and minds and that we will stage an intellectual battle in an arena where you can’t physically beat us."
"And so, since we were founded, we had simply issued statements. The fact that it’s been hyperbolized means that it has had more effects than they will admit. The group itself has never been on the streets, that is a point!" he exclaimed.
"There was an Occupy Flagstaff House event; we admit that we all met at that event and afterwards we started our operations. We can’t take the credit for it; we won’t take any credit for the #RedMonday – we did not organise it; it is all CSOs expect OccupyGhana. We were drawn in at a later stage but we are happy [it happened]. People receive us differently...," Ace Ankomah added.
On his part, Sydney Casely-Hayford said, "When we decided to do OccupyGhana, we had a small task force and they were given the opportunity to draft where we were going, as a result of that, some people fell out; the end argument was that we will bring about more permanent change if we go to court and sort a matter out in court, and the court agrees with what we are doing, it is actually promulgated or acted upon and it made sense to most of us...
"Before we issue a statement, we do in-depth research that is why so far, nobody has been able to sue us for defamation...anyone who has a problem with us and thinks that we should do more, please do it."
About Occupy Flagstaff House
In 2014, a group calling itself Concerned Ghanaians for Responsible Governance (CGRG) – and claiming to be of a middle-class extraction – emerged in the democratic space to call for an amelioration of the daily economic hardships Ghanaians were facing.
The group assembled at the Efua Sutherland Children’s Park in the capital, Accra, and marched to the Flagstaff House, the seat of the government, to present a petition to then-President John Dramani Mahama.
This protest by relatively well-off professionals – christened #occupyflagstaffhouse – was triggered by the deteriorating economic situation and governance in the country at the time. The cedi's instability and depreciation against major currencies were cited as a major factors.
The currency crisis was compounded by low access to water, health, rising levels of joblessness and worsening inequality, utility price hikes and lack of reliable energy for both domestic and commercial purposes. Corruption involving senior public officials and their cronies was also highlighted. | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Why-OccupyGhana-is-not-on-the-street-Ankomah-Casely-Hayford-explain-1617815 | 2022-09-06T10:27:12Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Why-OccupyGhana-is-not-on-the-street-Ankomah-Casely-Hayford-explain-1617815 | false | 2 |

Russia sends more energy to Asia as Europe cuts back
Russia sent significantly more oil and coal to India and China over the summer compared with the start of the year, while European countries that long relied on Russian energy have cut back sharply in response to the war in Ukraine, said a report published Tuesday.
The Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air said Russia received about 158 billion euros ($158 billion) in revenue for the sale of oil, natural gas and coal from February to August, more than half of which — some 85 billion euros worth — was exported to the European Union.
Within the EU, Germany was the biggest importer, buying 19 billion euros worth of fossil fuels from Russia during the six-month period.
The single biggest importer worldwide, however, was China, which bought 35 billion euros worth of Russian energy, the Helsinki-based group said.
While Russia’s revenue rose, overall export volumes dropped by 18% compared with when the country invaded Ukraine, the report said.
The EU has cut its imports from Russia by 35% since the war began, with Russian coal now banned in the 27-nation bloc and a halt to oil sales due to take effect at the end of the year.
Russia itself has sharply cut flows of natural gas to the EU, indicating this week that they would not resume unless Western sanctions are lifted.
Germany’s economy minister, Robert Habeck, said Monday that his country doesn’t expect gas imports from Russia to resume anymore.
Meanwhile, India and China imported significantly more coal and crude oil from Russia in July and August than in February and March, the group said.

Former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy has confidence that Brendan Rodgers will "stop the rot" at Leicester City after starting the 2022-23 campaign with just one point from the opening six games.
Sunday's 5-2 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion meant City have had their worst start to a season since 1983. The Foxes have managed to only pick up a point against Brentford on the opening day of the season, losing to Arsenal, Southampton, Chelsea, Manchester United and Brighton in the following games.
Rodgers' future at the King Power Stadium has come under scrutiny following the difficult start to the season, but the 49-year-old has backed himself to turn things around at the club to avoid them suffering relegation to the Championship after nine years.

The last time City lost five straight games, Claudio Ranieri was sacked only nine months after lifting the Premier League title. The Italian was dismissed following a 2-1 defeat to Sevilla in the Champions League and replaced by assistant manager Craig Shakespeare.
However, talkSPORT pundit Murphy has explained why he feels the situations are different, with the former Liverpool man providing a possible way to "stop the rot".
After being asked why Rodgers' situation is not the same as Ranieri, he said: "I think they're a bit different. My understanding of that situation was that a lot of the players felt he'd ran his course and they were all over the place, he was forgetting some of their names and things like that. I think it was a drastic situation that needed a decision.
"This is very different. I think Brendan will settle the ship, he'll find a more pragmatic set-up for the team to make them harder to beat. At the moment, what's happened is, they've not just started the season without reinforcements and their best defender, they've lost a couple of games and confidence has gone through the door.
"What happens is when you lose confidence, you don't really want to get on it as much and people start hiding away. You need to find a way of winning a couple to stop the rot.
"I think because Brendan likes attractive football and likes to win football matches, he's probably been a victim of his own success. He probably needs to go the other way for a little while now and put some people in the team who defend, work hard, put their bodies on the line and nick a few results. I think Leicester will be absolutely fine."

NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams has reached her break point — she caught up on her rest following her last match at the U.S. Open.
The 40-year-old Williams posted a photo on Instagram Monday of herself under a “Moana” blanket and seemingly asleep as she used a stuffed animal as a pillow. The mother of 5-year-old Olympia, Williams wrote, “How was your weekend? This was mine.”
Her career seemingly came to an end when she lost last week in her final U.S. Open. Williams won 23 Grand Slam titles and was celebrated by celebrities, fellow competitors and fans throughout her matches at Flushing Meadows. The tributes from tennis players to the NFL stretched into Monday.
Rising American standout Frances Tiafoe recalled after his upset win Tuesday over Rafael Nadal the inspiration he received from watching Serena and her older sister, Venus.
“At that time watching Serena and Venus play finals of Grand Slams at that time, when I was super young, I was like, how cool would it be to play Wimbledon, to play on Arthur Ashe and stuff like that,” Tiafoe said after his big win at Ashe.
Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady — like Williams, another age-defying championship athlete — praised Williams on Monday on his weekly podcast.
“What a joy it was to watch her play,” Brady said. “She didn’t play for a little while, and I think she realized it’s a lot of fun to play. And I think sometimes when you’re in the middle of it, you take it for granted to a degree, like, ‘Oh, it will be there.’ And then it’s not there for a year and you go, ‘God, I really love it. I really want to play.’ And then you get out there and play and you enjoy it.”
Williams turns 41 on Sept. 26 and says she wants to grow her family and pursue business interests.

48-hour dharna by TMC against release of convicts in Bilkis Bano rape case
It is shameful and unacceptable, senior TMC leader and state Industry Minister Shashi Panja said.All the 11 convicts sentenced to life imprisonment for the 2002 post-Godhra Bilkis Bano gang rape and murder of seven members of her family walked out of Godhra sub-jail last month after the Gujarat government allowed their release under its remission policy.Slamming the BJP-led governments at the Centre and in Gujarat for not taking any action to put the 11 men back in jail, Panja said, The women of the country feel unsafe and humiliated by their action.
- Country:
- India
The Trinamool Congress women's wing Tuesday launched a 48-hour dharna in the city in protest against the release of 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano gang rape case, calling it ''shameful and unacceptable''. The protest leaders condemned the Centre for its alleged lax attitude in dealing with the safety and security of women, including the recent rape of a woman by Border Security Force personnel at Bagda in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district.
''The law of the country says that when remission is considered for any prisoner those punished for rape and trafficking are not to be considered. We cannot understand how the covicts in the Bilkis Bano case were released. It is shameful and unacceptable,'' senior TMC leader and state Industry Minister Shashi Panja said.
All the 11 convicts sentenced to life imprisonment for the 2002 post-Godhra Bilkis Bano gang rape and murder of seven members of her family walked out of Godhra sub-jail last month after the Gujarat government allowed their release under its remission policy.
Slamming the BJP-led governments at the Centre and in Gujarat for not taking any action to put the 11 men back in jail, Panja said, ''The women of the country feel unsafe and humiliated by their action''. Referring to the National Crime Records Bureau data, she said New Delhi, whose law and order is under the jurisdiction of the union home ministry, is one of the most unsafe cities in the country for women.
''It is important to note that Delhi Police is under the Union Home Ministry, which has not said a word on the NCRB report,'' she said. Speaking at the event, senior TMC leader and state minister Chandrima Bhattacharya lashed out at the Centre over the Bagda rape. ''The BSF is supposed to guard the country's borders, are committing heinous crimes. Will the union home minister seek a report on the incident and punish the BSF personnel accused of raping the woman? Why is he silent on the issue?'' she said.
Two BSF personnel were arrested on the charge of raping a woman who was allegedly trying to illegally cross over to Bangladesh from West Bengal in August.
The release of the convicted in the Bilkis Bano incident and rape of a woman by BSF personnel reflects the ''hypocrisy'' of the BJP government at the Centre which speaks about ''nari shakti and women empowerment'', Bhattacharya said.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I have security cameras set up on the inside and outside of my home. The cameras record everything, and I can see all activity from my cellphone. Recently, I've been getting alerts about activity being detected in my backyard while I'm at work. I was totally freaked out by this until I realized it is my mother-in-law creeping around my property. She's been looking through our windows -- specifically the primary bedroom and my infant son's room. I talked to my husband about it, and he said that he would handle it, but he is not great at standing up to his mother. I've decided to take matters into my own hands. How do I approach her without causing a huge fight? -- Creeper
DEAR CREEPER: Tell your husband that you intend to talk to his mother so that you can stand in solidarity. Invite your mother-in-law over to visit. Tell her you need to talk to her about something important. Then tell her you were concerned that someone was trying to break into your home until you discovered she has been lurking on your property. Ask her why she has been doing that. Ask her what she wants and what she is looking for. Listen to hear what possible explanation she gives you.
People are also reading…
Next, ask her to stop. Point out that it is disconcerting for you to receive alarms of intruders at your home and, worse, to know that she seems to feel the need to stalk your home. Ask her how she would feel if someone did that to her.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I work for myself. I travel a lot for work, though it was on pause for the last two years. Now I'm traveling again, and it's a nightmare. On one recent trip, my flight was delayed eight hours one way and canceled for the return. I ended up missing several important meetings because of these changes. I worked it out, but it was awkward. I need to keep my clients and have them trust me, but it is impossible to schedule my time effectively when traveling is so unpredictable. What can I say to my clients if and when this happens again? -- Bad Travel
DEAR BAD TRAVEL: For many reasons, air travel is unreliable right now, which can wreak havoc on your work and personal schedules. This knowledge may not console you much, but you truly are not alone.
For now, you may want to avoid scheduling formal meetings or calls on the day after scheduled travel. Reserve those days for paperwork or for clients who will understand if you are delayed or unavailable. Alert your active clients when you are planning to be on the road so that they have an idea of your whereabouts. Pay close attention to emails. Respond remotely whenever you can. Some airlines have Wi-Fi, which allows you to email from the air. Find out if your carrier offers this option. If so, at the very least you may be able to communicate online if you are stuck in flight.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am having so much trouble keeping up at my job. I am new here with lots of skills that are needed, but what I don't have is hurting me. I have limited facility with technology. I find it impossible to keep track of ever-changing passwords and struggle to use certain devices and software. What are simple tasks to some people are torturous to me; my lack in those areas ends up making me late for meetings and turning in presentations.
I am frustrated that some of my colleagues with limited knowledge and work experience flourish because they know how to use these tools that are foreign to me. I'm afraid I am going to lose my job if I don't hone these skills, but I hardly have time to do that and get the work done. Should I talk to my boss about this? -- Not a Digital Native
DEAR NOT A DIGITAL NATIVE: Take a deep breath and calm down. You can resolve your situation, but you need to keep your wits about you. Before talking to your boss, do some research. Look online to find a course that can teach you the specific tasks you need to learn, including software, basic computer navigation, app usage, etc. Be proactive to get yourself up to speed with your colleagues.
After you have signed up and begun your classes, speak to your boss and explain your situation. Acknowledge what you don't know and that you are doing something about it right now. Ask for any support that your company may offer. Perhaps through their technology help desk there are tutorials or personal coaches who can shepherd you through any jams you run into. Your boss will appreciate that you were proactive.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My son received a number of monetary gifts from my friends and some family members for graduating from high school. I recently discovered that he did not send thank-you notes to everyone. He sent a few the day after his graduation, but as other gifts trickled in, it turns out he did not follow through. I am so embarrassed. People shared their hard-earned money with him, and he didn't say a word. It has been two months now. I still want him to send those notes, but he is dragging his feet. How can I get him to be responsible here? -- Closing the Loop
DEAR CLOSING THE LOOP: Have a serious conversation with your son. Tell him what he already knows: It is rude to accept gifts of any kind or amount from people and not to say thank you. Remind him of the people who shared gifts with him. Point out that even though they came after graduation, they were heartfelt. Those people thought about him enough to send him money. He must close the loop with a note expressing his gratitude and sharing something about his plans.
Offer to sit down with him and help him complete this cycle of giving. You could do it for him, but it is important for him to do this for himself. A part of becoming a responsible adult is completing responsibilities. This is surely one of them.
DEAR HARRIETTE: A friend of mine wrote a book, and I have offered to help him promote it. It turns out that he is pretty shy and reluctant to accept my help. I know that he has to hustle himself in order to get the word out and sell. I don't mean to be pushy, but if he sits back and doesn't do anything, chances are, the book will come and go without any fanfare or real sales. Should I continue to push him to promote himself even if he doesn't currently feel comfortable doing it? If so, what can I do to get him to do more? -- Promote Your Book
DEAR PROMOTE YOUR BOOK: As an author myself, I can tell you that writing a book is very different from promoting it. Many authors are quiet and somewhat reclusive, so it can be hard for them to step up and wear their marketing hat. Indeed, many authors don't know the first thing about marketing.
You are kind to want to help your friend. Maybe you can start small with him. Offer to host a small gathering of friends who will want to learn about his book. Create an intimate book signing where he will feel comfortable talking about his book. This may warm him up for larger engagements. However, know that you can only push so much. If he continues to balk, stop. Let the future play out as it will.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My dad has sent my kids over $3,000 worth of toys and games, and now he wants to plan a vacation together. He knows I'm still trying to find a car to get my kids to and from school, practices, games, etc. I told him I could not help him plan a vacation right now because I have to make purchasing a car a priority. Now he's angry with me. Why doesn't he understand? -- Car Trouble
DEAR CAR TROUBLE: Your father needs a wake-up call. Don't let him guilt or manipulate you. Sit down with him and point out that he is not Santa Claus, and all of you must live in the real world. Tell him that the extravagance of expensive gifts for your kids is unhelpful when some of their basic needs are not met. Tell him it's too bad that he is mad at you right now, but his anger is misplaced. You are working as hard as you can to provide for your kids. If he wants to help, he needs to listen to you and understand what is actually needed, not what would be fun.
If he chooses to fret, let him. You do not have time to indulge his fantasies. Of course, it was nice of him to shower your children with gifts, but enough is enough. When he is able to calm down, you might recommend that in the future he pick one great item for each child and offer the rest toward their well-being -- i.e., helping you to buy a car. Tell him that a vacation is not in the cards until you can get the basics together. A compromise, though, might be a day trip to an amusement park -- provided he is willing to foot the bill. That is pricey, too.
DEAR HARRIETTE: One of my best friends recently started planning her wedding and didn't tell me. I always thought that we would share this type of moment with each other. I found out from a mutual friend that she had started planning nearly a year ago and even set a date without telling me anything! It's now two weeks before the wedding, and she just reached out to ask if I'd come. I'm so hurt by this that I don't know how I should respond. What should I do? -- Late Invite
DEAR LATE NOTICE: Sounds like the two of you don't hold each other in the same regard. Inviting you two weeks before the big event is an afterthought. Naturally, this hurt your feelings. There could have been unusual circumstances. As we know, COVID-19 threw a wrench into many couples' wedding plan. But the fact that she didn't talk to you about it at all is what is particularly troubling.
Before RSVPing, get your friend on the phone. Congratulate her on her nuptials and ask her why you are just now learning about it, only two weeks before the big day. Tensions are usually high around weddings, but her behavior is extreme if you two actually were best friends. Find out why she gave you the cold shoulder. Depending on her answer and how you feel, decide whether you should attend. The choice is totally up to you. You owe her nothing. She broke that covenant when she kept you in the dark for so long.

China has postponed a key financial gathering set for this week in its financial hub of Shanghai, authorities said on Tuesday, adding that they were aiming for deeper discussion of the topics to be considered.
The delay comes amid a fresh wave of COVID-19 outbreaks in cities such as Shenzhen and Chengdu, at a time when China is gearing for a five-yearly congress of the ruling Communist Party on Oct. 17, where President Xi Jinping is poised to secure a historic third leadership term.
The Lujiazui Forum has been delayed from the initial dates of Wednesday and Thursday, the Shanghai Municipal Financial Regulatory Bureau said in a statement, without giving new dates or saying if the recent outbreaks were a factor behind the move.
"This year's Lujiazui Forum is being delayed due to the need to deepen the (event's) topics," it added.
The annual event is co-hosted by the city government and top financial regulators, such as the People's Bank of China (PBOC), the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) and the China Securities and Regulatory Commission.
First held in 2008 and traditionally scheduled in June, this year it was delayed by Shanghai's two-month long lockdown over COVID-19.
Last year's speakers included the head of the CBIRC, Guo Shuqing, and Pan Gongsheng, a PBOC vice governor and head of the foreign exchange regulator.
This year's theme was the role of finance in the steady growth of the world's economy, with topics ranging from financial opening-up to regulation, the forum website showed.
Late last month, Shanghai authorities urged organisers to postpone or scale down conferences and exhibitions, so as to boost COVID prevention efforts.
The Beijing auto show and sports tournaments, such as the Diamond League athletics meet, are among the events in China postponed or cancelled this year due to COVID-19.

GLASGOW-based law firm Friends Legal has acquired a company claimed to be the largest firm of solicitors and estate agents in East Lothian.
The takeover of Garden Stirling Burnet (GSB) creates a business with over £7m-a-year turnover and 60 staff in six offices across Scotland.
It is claimed it also gives Friends Legal a "significant platform to create one of the biggest specialist private client firms in Scotland".
The Garden Stirling Burnet name will be retained, while becoming part of the Friends Legal network.
However, rapid investment into the East Lothian firm’s 22-strong team across its four offices in Dunbar, Haddington, North Berwick and Tranent, will "underpin ambitions to double the headcount and turnover in three years".
Tony O’Malley, Managing Partner of Friends Legal, said: “GSB is a great business with a brilliant reputation, fantastic people and an unmatched footprint across East Lothian. We will re-establish GSB in the local market by investing in its people, infrastructure and brand.
“It’s the largest legal practice by footprint and headcount in the county but has perhaps lost market share in recent years. Our aim is to put it firmly back on the map by offering premium services at a fair price. That is our over-riding priority and we will need to recruit to achieve these aims.”
The acquisition will also enable Friends Legal to explore further consumer legal services, particularly in conveyancing and remortgaging, it said.
Mr O’Malley, who founded the Friends Legal brand in 2016, said GSB directors Alan Borrowman, Angela Craig and Ian Philp will remain with the firm for at least a year.
Mr Borrowman said: “We would also like to wholeheartedly thank our loyal clients for their ongoing support and to reassure them that this merger will mean that Garden Stirling Burnet continues to be a leading legal presence here in East Lothian. Indeed, by becoming part of the Friends Legal network, our range of legal services to clients will become even more specialist yet accessible.
“This is the right deal at the right time and will be fantastic for the dedicated and hard-working team we’ve established at GSB over many years. As directors, that is so important to us and we are thrilled with the long-term plans and prospects for the business and the role that we play in the community.”
The value of the deal was not disclosed.
Watt Brothers store development plan rejected by council
A PLANNING application by businessmen brothers Sandy and James Easdale to develop the vacant former Watt Brothers department store at Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow into a hotel has been refused by Glasgow City Council.
The proposal for the 119 to 121 Sauchiehall Street site was for “part use of vacant store as hotel including upper floor and link bridge extensions and external alterations”.
Jobs to be created at two new oil and gas training facilities in Scotland

A motorist has told of the dramatic moment he used his vehicle to stop a car whose driver had fallen seriously ill at the wheel in the outside lane of a busy motorway.
John Barlow thought the other driver was dead when he looked in to the car heading slowly along the overtaking lane of the M62, near Leeds, on Saturday.
He got his Hyundai in front of the Audi, then took his foot off the accelerator and eased the car behind to a halt, before getting out to help the man, who was barely breathing.
After trying to break into the locked vehicle using his elbow, Mr Barlow was helped by a tradesman with a hammer to get access to the stricken middle-aged driver, and then tilted his head back to free his airway.
Others then stopped to help, including a doctor on the other carriageway of the M62 who travelled to the next junction, turned round then battled through the backed-up traffic to get to work with a defibrillator.
Mr Barlow, a 59-year-old martial arts instructor from Middleton, Greater Manchester, told the PA news agency he had first noticed the Audi in the outside lane going slower and slower and pulled alongside.
He said: “He looked dead at the wheel.
“I could see his lips were blue and he had blood trickling down his face.
“His head was tilting forward.
“I thought ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to stop him’.
“I matched his speed then eased my way in front of him and then slowly took my foot off the accelerator.”
He was driving his wife Kirsty and son Joey, seven, to pick up a new kitten in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, and his son in the back screamed as the runaway car behind bumped into them.
“I guess the car behind was going 30mph, he hit my car a couple of times and then we came to a stop,” he said.
Mr Barlow was helped by the tradesman to get into the car, then a first aid refresher course he had recently taken kicked in and he opened the seriously ill driver’s airway by tilting his jaw backwards, at which point the man took in a gasp of air.
Others drivers stopped at the scene, bringing the four-lane carriageway to a halt, and a physio and an off-duty female police officer took over the first aid until paramedics arrived.
Mr Barlow said: “Everyone was amazing, it was a real team effort. They got the man on the floor, then the doctor jumped in as well.”
The next day Mr Barlow received a call from West Yorkshire Police thanking him and he was told the driver had suffered a seizure but was well enough to go home.
Mr Barlow’s car was not badly damaged in the impact and he was able to continue the journey to get Joey his kitten.
He hoped to meet the man he saved in the future, saying: “I’d shake his hand and give him a hug.”
And he asked for people to think about taking a first aid course and having something in their car that could be used to break a window in an emergency.

Veriff technology enables seamless, scalable verification capabilities for Certific and supports international expansion
NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Veriff, a global identity verification provider, today announced a partnership with Certific, a remote medical testing platform. The partnership will enhance and streamline Certific's remote medical diagnostics capabilities and support the company's global expansion - Veriff can verify over 10,200 different identity documents from more than 190 different countries and in over 45 languages.
Veriff's streamlined, AI-powered identity verification technology will provide Certific customers with a simpler and faster identity verification process, mitigating fraud risks and building trust within remote medical testing.
The partnership follows Certific's announcement that it has raised €7.4M of investment, led by European investment platform Plural, to advance remote medical diagnostics, support product expansion and entry into new markets.
As the use of telehealth and other digital health services continues to rise across the globe, there is a growing need for patients to digitally validate their identities. This ensures patients are linked to the correct medical history, their privacy is protected, and medical providers can avoid instances of malpractice and fraud. Cases of medical identity theft reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rose from approximately 6,800 in 2017 to nearly 43,000 in 2021, a trend that is being replicated globally.
"The COVID-19 crisis forced companies to go digital overnight to remain competitive. As a result, the demand for secure, remote identity verification has continued to grow globally across industries, including health services," said Kaarel Kotkas, founder and CEO of Veriff. "Veriff's solution, combined with Certific's remote medical testing platform, enables users to more securely and effectively access their personal medical records and telehealth services through advanced biometric identity verification technology, helping to significantly reduce security risk in digital health processes."
Liis Narusk, CEO of Certific, said: "Demand for remote medical services is rising and Veriff's technology will enable us to expand globally and securely, reducing the risk of identity fraud and malpractice on a grand scale.

In 2021, the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) reduced its stake in Credit Suisse Group AG to less than 5%.
Credit Suisse will expand in Qatar through a partnership with the Investment Promotion Agency of the Gulf country.
Around 100 jobs will be created in Qatar over the next few years in its wealth management, investment banking, and asset management divisions, as well as through the establishment of a technology and engineering hub.
“This expansion will further strengthen the bank’s leading wealth management business, deepen the bank’s local footprint and contribute to accelerating Credit Suisse’s development and digitisation in Qatar and the wider region,” IPA Qatar and Credit Suisse said in a joint statement.
Credit Suisse is present in more than 50 countries and has been operating in Qatar since 2006 through the Qatar Financial Centre platform.
Additionally, according to the bank’s website, Qatar Holding is one of its top shareholders, with a stake of slightly more than 5%.
Qatar has been attempting to diversify its economy by promoting its financial sector, which it claims is now second in importance only to the hydrocarbon industry.
In July, Swiss Ambassador to Qatar Edgar Doerig told local outlet The Peninsula that both nations are currently in the process of raising the number of Swiss banks operating in the Gulf state.
Switzerland’s two biggest banks Credit Suisse Group and UBS Group also had hired more individuals to assist in their effort to expand to Qatar.
Doerig said both nations are “doing fine” in terms of trade relations. He predicted that between 4,000 and 5,000 Swiss tourists will visit the nation as a result of the World Cup. “Traditionally, tourism has been very strong from Qatar to Switzerland, and it will continue to be very strong from Switzerland to Qatar.”
The move comes as Credit Suisse considers cutting 5,000 jobs, or roughly one out of every ten, as part of a cost-cutting drive at Switzerland’s second-largest bank, Reuters reported last week.
Swiss defence systems for the World Cup
Swiss arms exports have increased by more than 40% to $524 million in the first half of this year, after $162 million in sales of air defence systems were finalised with Qatar, according to the Swiss economy ministry.
Following Qatar, the top five purchasers of Swiss arms were Botswana, Germany, Denmark, and Saudi Arabia. Armoured vehicles were purchased by Botswana and Denmark, as well as Germany’s ammunition and accessories.
The systems will be utilised for the protection of stadiums during the World Cup this November, which will see numerous nations from around the world take part in security planning.
QIA’s reduction of Credit Suisse stakes
In 2021, the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) reduced its stake in Credit Suisse Group AG to less than 5%.
A string of recent scandals has rocked Credit Suisse, making it Europe’s worst-performing major bank stock.
According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in July 2021, QIA now owns approximately 128 million shares, representing a 4.8% stake. According to Bloomberg data, this was QIA’s first cut since 2010.
The authority previously owned approximately $133 million shares, making it the Swiss bank’s largest and longest-term shareholder.
QIA is one of the world’s largest sovereign funds, with assets valued at more than $360 billion according to data platform Global SWF.
Credit Suisse has been hit by a series of scandals, including the failures of asset management firm Archegos Capital Management and financial services firm Greensill Capital, which resulted in billions of dollars in losses and further damage to the company’s reputation.
Greensill’s supply-chain finance empire collapsed in 2021. The financial services company was a key partner for Credit Suisse’s asset management business. | https://dohanews.co/credit-suisse-to-expand-operations-in-qatar-with-new-tech-hub/ | 2022-09-06T11:02:47Z | https://dohanews.co/credit-suisse-to-expand-operations-in-qatar-with-new-tech-hub/ | false | 1 |
James Evans remembered for his leadership, advocacy
The Reverend Dr. James H. Evans Jr., who was the first African-American president of the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School in Rochester, died last month. He was 72.
Dr. Evans served as the divinity school's president for 10 years, between 1990 and 2000. He joined the divinity school's faculty in 1979 as an instructor of theology and Black church studies and remained with the school for three decades. Dr. Evans, a Greece resident, died on Aug. 25.
During his time as the school's leader, he oversaw the expansion of curriculum and establishment of the Program for the Study of Women and Gender in Church and Society, the Institute for Ethical Leadership and the Center for Baptist Studies. The school also increased endowment and available scholarships for students.
Rev. Angela D. Sims, the current president of Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, described Dr. Evans as "a leading theologian and respected clergyman" who made significant contributions to the school and the Rochester community.
"I give thanks for a life well lived in service to God, family and humanity,” Sims said, adding that while Dr. Evans was president emeritus, he continued to teach courses at the school. In the last two decades, he also led lectures and took part in other special events at the school.
In reference to his legacy, Sims said, "I am hopeful that Dr. Evans’s example of mentoring, of guiding will be replicated by the persons in whom he invested time, energy and resources over the years.”
Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School in 2019 moved to Village Gate after more than 90 years at a picturesque 22.4-acre campus at South Goodman Street and Highland Avenue. Three years, earlier, school officials announced plans to sell its home since 1928 as the school faced declining enrollment and the expense of upkeep of an historic property. A charter school will open at the site this fall.
Dr. Evans and his wife, the Rev. Dr. Linda Hickmon Evans, are the founding pastors of the St. Luke Tabernacle Community Church in Rochester, established in 2000, and St. Luke Tabernacle Community Church of Detroit, Michigan, created in 2006.
"He was an advocate for social justice and it permeated his being," Hickmon Evans said. "He absolutely loved and did not judge. He allowed everyone the flexibility to be who they were, and also encouraged them to be their better selves."
Hickmon Evans said that her husband, who she described as a humble, thoughtful and loving man, did not hold onto negativity.
"When something ended, no matter how heated, it was over," Hickmon Evans said. "He did not let external behavior influence his internal being."
She recalled when they first met, at a professional conference in San Francisco in 1997. Dr. Evans approached Hickmon Evans as she leaned against the wall listening to a speaker at the back of a busy conference hall. The pair married less than a year later and celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary in August.
A native of Detroit, Michigan, and the son of a Baptist minister, Dr. Evans graduated from the University of Michigan. He later received a master of divinity from Yale University Divinity School and his doctorate from the Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
In 2016, Dr. Evans was consecrated as a Bishop in The Kingdom Council of Interdependent Christian Churches and Ministries. His service to church and numerous local and national nonprofits and boards includes a four-year term as president of the American Baptist Association of Seminary Administrators and president of the Rochester Area College Presidents.
A published author, Dr. Evans penned numerous articles and five books on theology, and a three-act play Swamp Angel.
Dr. Evans is survived by his wife Linda, who is a pastor at St. Luke Tabernacle Community Church, three children and four grandchildren.
"He was a good father, a good grandfather and a good husband," Hickmon Evans said.
Dr. Evans loved spending time with his grandchildren, traveling and playing music. He played the saxophone, keyboard and flute, often performing with bands at church.
His funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Sept. 9, at Aenon Missionary Baptist Church, 175 Genesee St. A wake, also at the church, will run from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 8. | https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2022/09/06/james-evans-theologian-and-clergyman-remembered-for-his-leadership/65465876007/ | 2022-09-06T11:03:48Z | https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2022/09/06/james-evans-theologian-and-clergyman-remembered-for-his-leadership/65465876007/ | false | 1 |
Leonardo DiCaprio sets fire to the bonfire, does he only like those under 25?
rumors that Leonardo Dicaprio has an established rule for their partners is increasingly established. After the recent news that the Oscar-winning actor separated from his girlfriend, the model Camilla Morrone, speculations take greater power.
And it is that the actor is recognized for having partners always under 25 years of age. Is it coincidence or is there an unspoken rule in DiCaprio’s love life?
Carlos Piaggio/The Grosby Group
This rumor has been fueled after Morrone, with whom he had a five-year romance, turned 25 in June. And the reports indicate that both ended their relationship at the beginning of this summer, that is, a month after the model’s birthday.
It may be just a coincidence, although fans decide to give themselves the benefit of the doubt.

The actor’s romantic history
During the last 20 years, several women have passed through Leo’s heart, most of them models. Since he rose to fame in the ’90s, the actor has been in good company with beautiful women, although his age has always had a limit.
The model Gisele Bundchen, his first known relationship since rising in Hollywood, was 18 years old when they began their romance, while he was 24 years old.

They were together from 2000 to 2005, when she turned 23.
Later came the time for the model Bar Refaeli, with whom she had an affair for almost six years until she turned 25. They dated intermittently until 2011, when they ended their relationship.
Splash News
DiCaprio also stole Blake Lively’s heart when she was just 23 years old. They had a brief year-long romance and remained friends. The reason? Your work commitments.

In 2012, the actor began dating Erin Heatherton, the 22-year-old Victoria’s Secret Angel model at the time. They dated for 10 months and ended because of the actor’s “crazy schedules.”
FAFL/The Grosby Group
A year later he started dating Toni Garrn, who was 20 years old in 2013 and they spent just under two years together. Around the same time, Leo was spotted hanging out with model Lorena Rae.
The Grosby Group
In 2015, he began dating Kelly Rohrbach, who was 25 at the time. They dated for six months and ended because of her trouble matching.
The Grosby Group
Between 2016 and 2017, DiCaprio dated Danish swimsuit model Nina Agdal, who was 24 at the time. At this time, Leo was already betting on taking his relationships to privacy, keeping a low profile in his private life.
AKM GSI/The Grosby Group
They broke up in 2017 and he met Camila Morrone. The actor and model were together until 2022, when Morrone turned 25. The Revenant star, who is 22 years older than Camila, met her in 2008, when Camila was just 12 years old.

Ryan Bates and the Bills offensive line has a massive challenge with Aaron Donald
ORCHARD PARK - Last week, Buffalo Bills offensive guard Ryan Bates was asked if, at some point, he was going to ask Von Miller for some pointers on how he should attempt to block the Rams’ superhuman defensive tackle, Aaron Donald.
“We haven’t really gone into super depth yet about the Rams and their stuff,” Bates said at the time, “but that’s something I’m definitely going to ask him; what he likes to do and just, I’ll take any tips I can get.”
As Bates has come to find out in the days since, Miller really had nothing to offer.

Not that he didn’t want to help Bates and the rest of the Bills offensive line which has the massive task Thursday night of trying to contain Donald, the best defensive player in the NFL and one of the best in the history of the game.
“There is no secret, there’s nothing I could say,” Miller said with a shrug of his shoulders Sunday when the Bills began earnest preparation for the NFL Kickoff Game in Los Angeles against the defending Super Bowl champs.
“There is no weakness. I can’t sit here and say, ‘Well, if you do this …’ It’s Aaron Donald, he’s the greatest football player that I’ve ever played with. And he’s one of the greatest football players that ever played this game and that’s counting all the greats and all the football gods that have come through here. Aaron Donald is one of those.”
Miller, of course, got to see Donald up close and personal last season when he was traded to the Rams at midseason and combined with him to lead the Rams to the championship. They played 12 games together counting the playoffs, and after a couple of weeks finding his niche in Los Angeles’ defense, Miller recorded nine sacks in the last eight games, two of them in the Rams’ 23-20 Super Bowl victory over Cincinnati.
As great a pass rusher as Miller is, also one of the best in NFL history, there was no doubt playing with Donald helped unleash him.
“There’s nothing that I can say,” Miller said of speaking to the Bills’ offensive line. “I’d be setting them up for failure if I tell them like, ‘If you just do this, you know you’ll be all right.’ He’s good at everything. These guys are great, we got Josh Allen, we got great players, too, but Aaron Donald’s gonna make plays.”
Bates is well aware of this. The 25-year-old is entering his fourth season with Buffalo, but it’s the first that he’ll begin as a starter. He had been the Bills’ Swiss Army knife on the offensive line for most of his first three years, a player they could plug in at any of the five positions, and even tight end if need be.
His versatility actually worked against him because the Bills preferred to start other players to make sure that Bates would be available in case anyone got hurt during a game. When someone did get hurt last year - Ike Boettger in the game at New England - Bates took over at left guard and proved that he deserved to be a starter.
“Everyone wants that chance and fortunately at the end of last season, I got that opportunity and I like to think I made the most of it,” said Bates, who has since been switched to right guard. “And what I did last season gave me the opportunity to be where I’m at right now and in the starting role at right guard and I just want to focus on that and be the best right guard I can.”
It was an interesting offseason for Bates. He was a restricted free agent and because the Bills gave him the lowest tender of one year at $2.433 million which did not require draft pick compensation if he signed elsewhere, that allowed Bates to test the market.
The Bears really wanted him and they offered a four-year contract worth $17 million with $8.8 million guaranteed. The Bills could either match the offer sheet, or lose Bates, and they chose to match it. That meant they finally looked at him as a starter rather than as a multi-use reserve.
“It means a lot, it means so much because I wanted to stay here, I really did,” Bates said. “I have such a great relationship with a lot of the guys. It was very real, I would have absolutely gone. I’m very fortunate to (GM) Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears’ coaching staff to have the opportunity and I would have gone there and given 100% effort. But like I said I’m fortunate enough to be back here in Buffalo and be back with the boys and hopefully win a Super Bowl this year.”
Bates is part of a new starting guard tandem as 13-year veteran Rodger Saffold was signed to play left guard, joining Bates, Dion Dawkins, Mitch Morse and Spencer Brown.
They are the five men charged with protecting the Bills’ $250 million superstar, Allen, and that is going to be quite a challenge against Donald, a three-time NFL defensive player of the year, a seven-time All-Pro, and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s all-decade team of the 2010’s, a prelude to where he will end up when his career is over.
“He’s one of one and I think everybody knows that,” Allen said. “Scary to watch the film of him and just understand that you’ve got to go in with a plan to block him, and everybody does it. He’s extremely specialized in taking on doubles and understanding that there’s going to be help on him, but sometimes it doesn’t seem to matter. He kind of gets his way for the most part.”
As coach Sean McDermott said, it will take a team effort to prevent Donald from wrecking the Bills’ offense, but Bates knows that as an interior blocker, he’s going to see more of Donald than, say, the two tackles.
“He’s a hell of a player,” Bates said. “I just got to go out there and do what I’ve been coached to do. We’ve been having a hell of a camp and I’m learning a lot of things under Aaron Kromer. I just have to go out there and do what we do. Our five against their four or whatever it is, we’re gonna go out there and ball.”

Marine Delterme, Lucie Lucas, Angèle… These stars who lived in a toxic relationship
Just because they’re famous doesn’t mean they haven’t been in toxic relationships before. Many personalities, such as Angèle, Lucie Lucas or even Nicky Minaj came out of silence to talk about the hell they were able to experience in the past.
Living in a toxic relationship can destroy a person. Fortunately, some manage to get by. This is particularly the case of many personalities who have decided to come out of silence to evoke the hell they have experienced. The star of Clem, Lucie Lucas had notably assured that it had taken five years to recover. “When I was 16, I knew my relationship was not ‘normal’. (…) It took me 5 years to get out of this destructive story, both for me and for him… By hurting me, he was also hurting him. I was lucky that he asked me for forgiveness several years later…“, she had remembered on Instagram.
But she’s not the only one. Just like her, Marine Delterme, Angèle, Camille Lellouche, Nicki Minaj or even Evan Rachel Wood, all assured to have lived very difficult relationships which could have broken them forever. “I know what it’s like to live with someone who is unpredictable, who reduces you and prevents you from being yourself.“, had assured Marine Delterme. For her part, the singer Nicki Minaj had come out of silence to explain the domestic violence of which she was the target on numerous occasions.
Camille Lellouche thought she was dying under the blows of her former companion
Camille Lellouche also believed that she was going to die under the blows of her former companion. Under his influence, she took years to manage to get out of it, just like Angèle. All these women had the strength to speak out to denounce the acts of which they were victims. Evan Rachel Wood also came out of silence to accuse of rape, in a new documentary, Marilun Manson. | https://d1softballnews.com/marine-delterme-lucie-lucas-angele-these-stars-who-lived-in-a-toxic-relationship/ | 2022-09-06T11:05:13Z | https://d1softballnews.com/marine-delterme-lucie-lucas-angele-these-stars-who-lived-in-a-toxic-relationship/ | true | 1 |
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Elsa Avila slid to her phone, terrified as she held the bleeding side of her abdomen and tried to stay calm for her students. In a text to her family that she meant to send to fellow Uvalde teachers, she wrote: “I’m shot.”
For the first time in 30 years, Avila will not be going back to school as classes resume Tuesday in the small, southwest Texas city. The start of school will look different for her, as for other survivors of the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in which 21 people died, with an emphasis on healing, both physically and mentally. Some have opted for virtual education, others for private school. Many will return to Uvalde school district campuses, though Robb Elementary itself will never reopen.
“I’m trying to make sense of everything,” Avila said in an August interview, “but it is never going to make sense.”
A scar down her torso brings her to tears as a permanent reminder of the horror she endured with her 16 students as they waited in their classroom for an hour for help while a gunman slaughtered 19 children and two teachers in two adjoining classrooms nearby.
Minutes before she felt the sharp pain of the bullet piercing her intestine and colon, Avila was motioning students away from the walls and windows and closer to her. A student lined up by the door for recess had just told her something was going on outside: People were running — and screaming. As she slammed the classroom door so the lock would catch, her students took their well-practiced lockdown positions.
Moments later, a gunman stormed into their fourth-grade wing and began spraying bullets before ultimately making his way into rooms 111 and 112.
In room 109, Avila repeatedly texted for help, according to messages reviewed by The Associated Press. First at 11:35 a.m. in the text to her family that she says was meant for the teacher group chat. Then at 11:38 in a message to the school’s vice principal. At 11:45, she responded to a text from the school’s counselor asking if her classroom was on lockdown with: “I’m shot, send help.” And when the principal assured her that help was on the way, she replied simply: “Help.”
“Yes they are coming,” the principal wrote back at 11:48 a.m.
It’s unclear whether her messages were relayed to police. District officials did not respond to requests for comment on actions taken to communicate with law enforcement on May 24, and an attorney for then-Principal Mandy Gutierrez was not available for comment.
According to a legislative committee’s report that described a botched police response, nearly 400 local, state and federal officers stood in the hallway of the fourth-grade wing or outside the building for 77 minutes before some finally entered the adjoining classrooms and killed the gunman. Lawmakers also found a relaxed approach to lockdowns — which happened often — and security concerns, including issues with door locks. State and federal investigations into the shooting are ongoing.
The district is working to complete new security measures, and the school board in August fired the district’s police chief, Pete Arredondo. Residents say it remains unclear how — or even if — trust between the community and officials can be rebuilt, even as some call for more accountability, better police training and stricter gun safety laws.
Avila recalls hearing the ominous bursts of rapid fire, then silence, then the voices of officers in the hallway yelling, “Crossfire!” and later more officers standing nearby.
“But still nobody came to help us,” she said.
As Avila lay motionless, unable to speak loud enough to be heard, some of her students nudged and shook her. She wished for the strength to tell them she was still alive.
A light flashed into their window, but nobody identified themselves. Scared it might be the gunman, the students moved away.
“The little girls closest to me kept patting me and telling me, ‘It’s going to be OK miss. We love you miss,’” Avila said.
Finally, at 12:33 p.m. a window in her classroom broke. Officers arrived to evacuate her students — the last to be let out in the area, according to Avila.
With her remaining strength, Avila pulled herself up and helped usher students onto chairs and tables and through the window. Then, clutching her side, she told an officer she was too weak to jump herself. He came through the window to pull her out.
“I never saw my kids again. I know they climbed out the window and I could just hear them telling them, `Run, run, run!’” Avila said.
She remembers being taken to the airport, where a helicopter flew her to a San Antonio hospital. She was in and out of care until June 18.
Avila later learned that a student in her class was wounded by shrapnel to the nose and mouth but had since been released from medical care. She said other students helped their injured classmates until officers arrived.
“I am very proud of them because they were able to stay calm for a whole hour that we were in there terrified,” Avila said.
As her students prepare to return to school for the first time since that traumatic day, Avila is on the way to recovery, walking up to eight minutes at a time on the treadmill in physical therapy and going to counseling. She looks forward to teaching again someday.
Outside of a shuttered Robb Elementary, a memorial for the people killed overflows at the entrance gate. Teachers from across Texas stopped by this summer to pay their respects and reflect on what they would do in the same situation.
“If I survive, I have to make sure they survive first,” said Olga Oglin, an educator of 23 years from Dallas, her voice breaking.
“Whatever happens to a student at our school, it just happens to one of my kids,” Olgin said, adding that as the person to greet parents, students and staff at the door in the mornings, she likely would be the first person shot.
Ofelia Loyola, who teaches elementary school in San Antonio, visited with her husband, middle school teacher Raul Loyola. She was baffled at the delayed response from law enforcement, as seen on security and police video.
“They are all kids. It doesn’t matter how old they are, you protect them,” she said.
Last week, Avila and several of her students met for the end-of-year party they were unable to have in May. They played in the pool at a country club and she gave them each a bracelet with a little cross to remind them that “God was with us that day and they are not alone,” she said.
“We always talked about being kind, being respectful, taking care of each other — and they were able to do that on that day,” Avila said.
“They took care of each other. They took care of me.” | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/im-shot-16-uvalde-fourth-graders-waited-an-hour-with-wounded-teacher/ | 2022-09-06T11:05:26Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/im-shot-16-uvalde-fourth-graders-waited-an-hour-with-wounded-teacher/ | false | 44 |
BERLIN (AP) — Russia sent significantly more oil and coal to India and China over the summer compared with the start of the year, while European countries that long relied on Russian energy have cut back sharply in response to the war in Ukraine, said a report published Tuesday.
The Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air said Russia received about 158 billion euros ($158 billion) in revenue for the sale of oil, natural gas and coal from February to August, more than half of which — some 85 billion euros worth — was exported to the European Union.
Within the EU, Germany was the biggest importer, buying 19 billion euros worth of fossil fuels from Russia during the six-month period.
The single biggest importer worldwide, however, was China, which bought 35 billion euros worth of Russian energy, the Helsinki-based group said.
While Russia’s revenue rose, overall export volumes dropped by 18% compared with when the country invaded Ukraine, the report said.
The EU has cut its imports from Russia by 35% since the war began, with Russian coal now banned in the 27-nation bloc and a halt to oil sales due to take effect at the end of the year.
Russia itself has sharply cut flows of natural gas to the EU, indicating this week that they would not resume unless Western sanctions are lifted.
Germany’s economy minister, Robert Habeck, said Monday that his country doesn’t expect gas imports from Russia to resume anymore.
Meanwhile, India and China imported significantly more coal and crude oil from Russia in July and August than in February and March, the group said. | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/russia-sends-more-energy-to-asia-as-europe-cuts-back-01662460864 | 2022-09-06T11:05:59Z | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/russia-sends-more-energy-to-asia-as-europe-cuts-back-01662460864 | true | 29 |

Delhi CM Kejriwal to launch ‘Make India No. 1’ campaign from Haryana
New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will launch his party’s ‘Make India No. 1’, campaign from Haryana on Wednesday.
Addressing a digital press briefing, Kejriwal said: “I will launch the campaign from my birth place Hisar on Wednesday. I will go to every state and connect with people”. He also urged people to connect with his Make India No. 1 campaign by giving a missed call on 9510001000.
Announcing his nationwide yatra, Kejriwal said that 130-crore people of the country dream to see India as a developed and No.1 country in the world.
“Even after 75 years of Independence, India remained an underdeveloped country. It hurts when the world says that India is an underdeveloped and poor country,” Kejriwal said.
“Until every child receives quality education free of cost, the country cannot progress. In 1947, India became independent and we have progressed in several sectors but it was a mistake to not set up excellent government schools in all villages. Had every child received quality education since independence, India would have achieved significant progress,” he said.
Kejriwal also appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to formulate a plan in consultation with all states to make every school of the country modern in the next five years. | https://kalingatv.com/nation/delhi-cm-kejriwal-to-launch-make-india-no-1-campaign-from-haryana/ | 2022-09-06T11:07:54Z | https://kalingatv.com/nation/delhi-cm-kejriwal-to-launch-make-india-no-1-campaign-from-haryana/ | true | 4 |

Meghan Markle said that being back in the UK was 'very nice' as she made her first official speech in the country since her and Prince Harry's royal exit.
- After flying ‘commercial’ to the UK (opens in new tab), Prince Harry and Meghan attended the first of two events they’re scheduled to appear at.
- It was at the One Young World Summit that Meghan delivered the keynote address and gave an insight into how she was feeling about being back in the country.
- This royal news (opens in new tab) comes after it was revealed that The Crown's Kate Middleton casting has divided fans (opens in new tab).
After making their anticipated UK return (opens in new tab), Meghan Markle revealed that it’s ‘very nice to be back’ as she delivered an inspirational speech at the One Young World Summit in Manchester.
She and Prince Harry have traveled back to the UK for the first time since the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee for an 'unofficial tour', which includes two charity events. The first being the One Young World meeting, which is an organisation that brings together young leaders from 190 countries across the world.
The event is one of the first the pair has attended together, since stepping back as senior royals (opens in new tab) and despite reports of an ongoing royal feud, Meghan, whose red outfit (opens in new tab) at the event had a special hidden meaning, revealed that she was indeed happy to be on UK soil.
The excitement is real as the Duke and Dutchess of Sussex take to the stage at the #OYWOpeningCeremony 🎉 pic.twitter.com/qGTKXTTv8BSeptember 5, 2022
Meghan, who is a counsellor for the charity, took to the stage in a bold all-red jumpsuit and said, "It’s very nice to be back in the UK and very nice to be back with all of you at One Young World."
She then went on to address the attendees, saying, "You are the ones driving the positive and necessary change across the globe now, in this very moment. And for that, I am so grateful to be in your company today."
The Duchess of Sussex then shared her own experience of being a 'young leader' detailing the moment she was asked to join the organisation in 2014.
She said, "There I was, the girl from Suits. I was surrounded by world leaders, humanitarians, prime ministers and activists that I had such a deep and long-standing respect and admiration for. And I was allowed in, to pull up a seat at the table."
Before adding, "I was so overwhelmed by this experience... I think I even saved my little paper place-marker with my name on it. Just proof: proof that I was there, proof that I belonged, because the truth was, I wasn't sure that I belonged."
Meghan then declared the summit officially open and was met with a standing ovation from the audience.
The next stop on their trip will be to the WellChilds Awards in London, and while they’re staying just five minutes from Prince William and Kate - a royal reunion is reportedly not on the cards - With many also fearing that, with the Queen in Balmoral (opens in new tab), the couple may have missed their ‘last chance’ to see her.

Describing cricketer Arshdeep Singh as the "pride of India", BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Tuesday said every citizen stands with the left-arm bowler.
Chugh also welcomed the Information and Broadcasting Ministry's action against Wikipedia for letting Khalistani slurs pop up on Singh's page after he dropped a catch at a crucial juncture of the India-Pakistan T-20 match in Dubai on Sunday.
"Arshdeep is the pride of India. He is a rising star from Punjab and every Indian stands with him. Strict legal action must be taken against those posting hate remarks against him," Chugh, who is also from Punjab, said.
The bowler, however, also received support on Twitter with a campaign #IStandWithArshdeep. Leaders in Punjab, cutting across party lines, too came out in his support. | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/arshdeep-singh-indias-pride-every-indian-stands-with-him-bjp/20220906.htm | 2022-09-06T11:13:29Z | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/arshdeep-singh-indias-pride-every-indian-stands-with-him-bjp/20220906.htm | true | null |

As the world rushed to congratulate Liz Truss being voted the next prime minister, a phone in London started pinging with notifications.
Politicians, the general public and even government bodies began tweeting @LizTruss after she was announced as the UK's new leader.
But the woman behind the account is not the elected leader of the Conservative party - whose handle is @TrussLiz - but Liz Trussell from London.
A tweet from a BBC journalist, detailing Liz Truss's trip to visit the Queen to succeed Boris Johnson, wrongly tagged Ms Trussell, and the Londoner replied: "Just getting ready to head up to Balmoral! Looking forward to meeting the Corgis."
Among those to also confuse the two were the Swedish Prime Minister and Green MP for Brighton Pavilion Caroline Lucas.
Magdalena Andersson, tweeting from the Swedish PM account, said: "Congratulations to @LizTruss as she assumes the role of Prime Minister of the UK.
"Sweden and the UK will continue our deep and comprehensive cooperation. Important for our citizens, economies and security."
Ms Trussell responded: "Looking forward to a visit soon! Get the meatballs ready."
Leader of the Green Party Ms Lucas wasted no time to get stuck in, and at 12.55pm on Monday tweeted: "@LizTruss still doesn’t get it - Boris Johnson did *not* get Brexit done, his myriad mistakes over Covid cost countless lives, and he leaves having disgraced his office.
"Meanwhile, she’s campaigned as a right wing ideologue and will govern as such - which is a disaster for all of us."
A member of the public, noticing the mistake, replied to her saying: "And I bet she likes cake."
To which Ms Trussell responded: "I love cake."
Political followers watching the announcement on Monday picked up on Liz Truss brushing by Rishi Sunak without acknowledgement before heading up to the stage to make her acceptance speech.
Replying to one tweet which read: "@LizTruss demonstrates total absence of class by blanking Sunak when her win is announced’, she responded: "Sorry, I was in Nandos."
And the Right of Centre UK news and current affairs magazine also tweeted Ms Trussell, writing: "Congratulations @LizTruss on becoming the new UK PM! Best person for the job!"
"Agreed," Ms Trussell replied.
Ms Trussell looks set to follow in the social media footsteps of American father-of-four John Lewis, who receives more than 50,000 tweets a year from people trying to contact the British retail chain.
Mr Lewis receives a Christmas hamper from the company every year for the bombardment he receives, especially around the festive period with their advert.
And Ms Trussell might've seen this coming.
Her first ever tweet on Oct 21, 2013 addressed the issue.
One observer pointed out: "I bet @TrussLiz doesn’t send you a lovely Christmas hamper like @JohnLewisRetail sends to
@JohnLewis.
"She should give you a full winter of no bills for the grief I expect you’re getting today."
Ms Trussell replied with the hashtag "earned it". | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/09/06/wrong-liz-truss-twitter-liz-trussell/ | 2022-09-06T11:21:56Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/09/06/wrong-liz-truss-twitter-liz-trussell/ | false | 1 |

Traditional names tend to top the popular baby name lists every year as they continue to stand the test of time and resonate with parents that want a conventional and elegant choice for their child. And while that's all well and good, some parents don't want to embrace tradition, and instead, opt for a more unusual moniker for their little one.
But one new mum who rejected tradition when naming her baby has been slammed by her sister-in-law for the unique name she gave her daughter, as she was branded a "hippy freak" who is "setting her daughter up for a hard life".
Get the news you want straight to your inbox. Sign up for a Mirror newsletter here.
The mum explained she welcomed her first child with her husband in June, just a couple of weeks before her sister-in-law gave birth to her fifth. And as her husband's sibling has chosen conventional names for her brood - Edward, Martha, Dorothy, Lawrence and Susan - she was horrified to learn her brother and his wife had called their daughter Aura.
In a post on Reddit, the new mum said: "My sister-in-law and I gave birth to daughters around the same time. My daughter was born in early June, hers was born in mid-June. Her daughter marks her fifth child, our daughter marks mine and my husband's first child.
"A day after my daughter was born my husband posted the announcement on his social media and then my sister-in-law commented asking what her 'actual' name was, even though the name was mentioned in the post. When she gave birth to her daughter, she did her own announcement and went on a small tangent about naming children and how much pride she and her husband took in giving their children 'real people names'.
"For context, our daughter is called Aura and her kids are Edward, Martha, Dorothy, Lawrence and Susan.
"The other day we were at my husband's parent's house for a BBQ and she went all in on saying how our daughter's name is a 'hippy freak name' and how we passed up the chance to give her a legitimate, actual name. She said we could have used one of her kids' names since we were struggling so bad, clearly."
The woman and her husband have told their family they are "very happy" with their daughter's name, but her sister-in-law has not stopped criticising it - prompting the mum to hit back and label traditional monikers as "grandma names".
She added: "My husband told her we were very happy with our daughter's name and we were happy she was happy with the names of her children and we should all just be happy and move on.
"She told me that I was setting my daughter up for a hard life. How her name is going to label her forever. All kinds of stuff. She also went on about how traditional names were so handsome and beautiful, and could carry a child throughout the rest of their life. She followed up by accusing me of not caring about my daughter.
"I told her she could keep her grandma names and I would keep my hippy freak names and the conversation was over because I did not care to hear about it anymore. My husband and I left. She followed up with how dare I [call them] grandma names like there was something wrong with them.
"I was mad at first and now I am questioning my actions. The truth is I don't like the names she chose for her kids. They are not my taste and maybe my tone did relay that. I don't like how she behaved but two wrongs [don't make a right]."
Commenters on the post defended the new mum from her sister-in-law's comments, with many saying she's free to name her baby whatever she wants without family members judging the decision.
One person said: "She's quite judgmental and her persistent comment leads me to think she wanted you to rename your daughter. And Aura is a beautiful name!"
While another added: "Aura is a beautiful name, those others are old-fashioned. Your sister-in-law needs to mind her own business, people always want to inflict their opinions on others. That is an opinion, she is entitled to it, end of conversation."
And a third wrote: "Your daughter has a very pretty name, and it is quite different from the norm. Don't worry about what your sister-in-law thinks. You did nothing wrong."

Uvalde school year starts amid fear and unfinished security
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A new and worrisome school year begins Tuesday in Uvalde.
There is new high fencing around the Texas community’s public school campuses that still isn’t finished, a heavy police patrol that many families don’t trust and no classes ever again at Robb Elementary School, three months after a gunman with an AR-15-style rifle killed 19 children and two teachers inside two adjoining fourth-grade classrooms.
Ashley Morales is putting her son, Jeremiah, back in class — because she says she has no other choice as a working single mother. She will drop him off outside Uvalde Elementary on the first day. She says parents won’t be allowed inside.
“I’m just nervous, scared,” said Morales, whose son was a third-grader last year at Robb Elementary and lost three friends in the May 24 massacre. During a recent “Meet the Teacher” night, she felt a rush of anxiety walking down the school hall.
“Oh my gosh, it’s actually going to happen,” she said. “School is going to start.”
Although school already started weeks ago in many parts of Texas, officials pushed back the first day of class in Uvalde after a summer of unfathomable heartache, anger and revelations of widespread failures by law enforcement who allowed an 18-year-old gunman to fire inside the adjoining classrooms for more than 70 minutes.
Despite pushing back the start of the year, Uvalde school officials said several enhanced security measures remain incomplete, including installing additional cameras and new locks.
The Texas Department of Public Safety has committed to putting nearly three dozen state troopers on Uvalde campuses — but that is of no comfort to some families since there were more than 90 state troopers on scene during the attack.
More than 100 families in Uvalde signed up for virtual school, while others pulled their kids out of the district and enrolled them in private schools. One teacher who was shot in the abdomen and survived, Elsa Avila, will not be greetings students for the first time in 30 years because she is still recovering.
A damning report by a Texas House committee found that nearly 400 officers in all rushed to Robb Elementary after the shooting but hesitated for more than hour to confront the shooter. Body camera and surveillance footage showed heavily armed officers, some holding bulletproof shields, stacked in the hallway but not advancing to the classroom.
Steve McCraw, head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, called the response “an abject failure.”
Last month, the Uvalde school board fired district police Chief Pete Arredondo, who McCraw and the House report accused of failing to take control of the scene and wasting time by looking for a key for a classroom door that was likely unlocked. The firing has not quieted demands for others to face punishment. One other officer — Uvalde Lt. Mariano Pargas, the acting police chief that day — has been placed on administrative leave.

Noel Gallagher has spoken about how David Bowie is “more of an influence on [him] now than he ever was”.
Speaking to Sky News at the premiere of the forthcoming Bowie film Moonage Daydream, the High Flying Birds musician said that the late icon has “one of the most interesting stories in all of music”.
“My relationship’s purely through the music, really,” Gallagher explained. “I didn’t really know him that well. I was first aware of him in the ’80s, doing ‘Let’s Dance’ and all that, and then going back, when I was getting more into music, going back in time.
“I’m a big fan. I was a big fan anyway, but he’s more of an influence on me now than he ever was. He’s one of the all-time greats.”
The former Oasis singer-songwriter went on to say that Bowie had inspired how he approached making the third and most recent NGHFB album, 2017’s ‘Who Built The Moon?’.
“It was the first time I’d ever written in a studio, and he used to do it all the time, and my producer at the time was encouraging me to do that more,” Gallagher explained.
“He was kind of like, ‘listen to interviews by him, saying you’ve got to put yourself out there and be slightly unsure of what you’re doing’. That was a good point for where we were going at the time with our record.”
Earlier this year, Gallagher revealed that he’d impersonated Bowie while working on tracks for his next full-length record. He also mentioned an upcoming song that’d been influenced by the legendary artist, ‘Pretty Boy’.
“I’d sit up late at night doing [Bowie’s] voice, ‘If this song sounds like David Bowie, then I’m going to sing it like David Bowie until I’ve written it’,” he recalled.
Back in 2014, Gallagher accepted Bowie’s statue for Best Male Solo Artist at that year’s BRIT Awards alongside Kate Moss.
Earlier this year, the High Flying Birds artist talked about how his last interaction with Bowie occurred “the very next night”. He said: “I got an email pinged through on my iPad. It just said, ‘Thanks for the shoutout last night. Keep writing, love David’.
“And I was thinking, ‘David? Who’s David? I don’t know anybody called David’. And then it slowly dawned on me, so I emailed back straight away, ‘Oh, no problem mate…’. And then he emailed back straight away, and I was like, ‘Am I in a conversation with David Bowie?’.”
Gallagher added: “Turns out it was in fact David Bowie, and he was like ‘Oh, keep writing’, and I was like, ‘Start gigging’. He was a dude. A bit too tall for my liking, but still, a bit of a dude.”
Last year saw Noel Gallagher share two new singles – ‘We’re On Our Way Now’ and ‘Flying On The Ground’ – as part of a High Flying Birds ‘best of’ compilation, ‘Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021)’.
Moonage Daydream will be released exclusively in IMAX cinemas on September 16. The film will arrive in other UK cinemas on September 23. | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/noel-gallaghernoel-gallagher-says-david-bowie-is-more-of-an-influence-on-me-now-than-he-ever-was-3304992 | 2022-09-06T11:28:48Z | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/noel-gallaghernoel-gallagher-says-david-bowie-is-more-of-an-influence-on-me-now-than-he-ever-was-3304992 | false | 4 |
Dutch farm minister resigns after protests over pollution
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Dutch agriculture minister has unexpectedly resigned following a tumultuous summer of protests by farmers over pollution regulations. Henk Staghouwer told reporters Tuesday he wasn’t suitable for the job. He had just negotiated a controversial agreement with the European Commission to scrap a Dutch exemption to manure spreading limits. The country’s lucrative agriculture sector has been in crisis since a 2019 court ruling forced the government to slash nitrogen oxide and ammonia emissions. Thousands of farmers have staged protests including blockading cities with tractors and burning hay bales along highways. | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/09/06/dutch-farm-minister-resigns-after-protests-over-pollution/ | 2022-09-06T11:32:37Z | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/09/06/dutch-farm-minister-resigns-after-protests-over-pollution/ | false | null |

An idyllic hotel which can be found on Scotland's answer to Route 66 could be the ideal business opportunity for someone after it was recently put up for sale. The stunning ‘C’ listed Highland hotel is located on the North Coast 500 in the beautiful coastal village of Lybster, Caithness.
Estate agent ASG Commercial, which is in charge of the sale, say it could offer a "rewarding challenge" for someone looking for a successful business with plenty of expansion opportunities.
With the footfall provided by the ever-popular NC500 route coupled with the already established Highland tourism offering, they added that the 24 guest bedroom property is exciting because there is also the opportunity to utilise the flexible external aspects and grounds to offer a "variety of accommodation" drawing in extra income to the core business.
The Caithness business is on the market for a very reasonable price of offers over £625,000 and also comes with a large banqueting suite for up to 150 seated diners and an established wedding offering - as it's one of the few hotels in the area able to host them.
The building the hotel is based in dates from the 1850s, and has been "attractively developed and refurbished" by the current owners.
ASG added: "This business has great potential and offers new owners the opportunity to take it to the next level.
"The business mainly operates on a restricted seasonal basis, fully trading from April to October with limited opening during the Christmas and New Year period plus for one-off special events. The bar and restaurant business offers evening meals to be served to resident and non-resident guests.
"Most of the room occupancy is pre-booked and forward bookings are encouragingly at a high-level post-pandemic. The business draws in strong repeat custom and is highly commended on numerous visitor review websites."
Located on the NC500 Route, the Portland Hotel is approximately equidistant from the charming towns of Helmsdale to the South and Wick to the North; both being about a 20-minute drive.
Lybster itself is a picturesque village that dates back to 1802, with strong links to local landowner, General Patrick Sinclair, whose sons fought at the Battle of Waterloo and in their honour he named the section of Main Street "Quatre Bras", which was the preliminary engagement to the decisive Battle of Waterloo that occurred two days later.

SEDALIA, Colo., Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CORE Electric Cooperative (CORE) has asserted its right to withdraw from partial ownership of the Comanche Unit 3 power plant by written notice to Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo), a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, Inc (Xcel). The notice stipulates that PSCo must purchase the asset from CORE pursuant to project agreements between the two parties. This action is an additional step by CORE to secure its clean and reliable energy future, recover costs and protect its members from future financial burdens due to ongoing mismanagement of the power plant by PSCo.
"Systemic failures by PSCo to prudently operate Comanche 3 since it came online in 2010 have severely impacted our commitment to providing affordable, reliable power to our member-owners," said Jeff Baudier, Chief Executive Officer of CORE. "Despite every effort by CORE to be heard, PSCo has ignored our rights and driven this plant to dysfunction through mismanagement and incompetence. This situation is untenable, and CORE must move on to forge our clean, reliable, and affordable energy future."
CORE currently has 25% non-operating ownership in the Comanche Unit 3 power plant, which has been offline more than 700 days since 2010, including almost all of 2020 and half of 2022 to date. Due to PSCo's failure to operate the plant in accordance with Prudent Utility Practices, CORE has incurred millions of dollars of additional repair and maintenance costs and has deprived its members of entitled power during the numerous, lengthy outages of the unit. Under the project agreements, CORE has the right to withdraw, and PSCo must buy out CORE's interest.
The Colorado Public Utilities Commission's (PUC) investigations into the plant concluded that the operation and maintenance performed by PSCo did not meet basic industry standards of prudence throughout the plant's history. These conclusions mirrored those reached by PSCo's own independent experts.
CORE filed a lawsuit on September 7, 2021, alleging that PSCo breached its contract related to Comanche Unit 3 on several accounts. The trial is scheduled for October 2023.

Onwuka Nzeshi Abuja
The Federal Government has disclosed that a total of 75,601 inmates, including 1,271 military detainees, are currently behind bars in different custodial centres across the country. This figure includes 74,044 males and 1,557 females.
Of this figure, only 19,064 (representing 25 per cent) are convicts. The rest are awaiting trial persons. Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, stated this yesterday at the Joint World Press Conference organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture in Abuja. Aregbesola said that out of the number of those convicted, 3,150 of them are on death row awaiting execution.
He said the number of those in this category had swollen over time because of the delay by state governors to assent to execution warrants pending on their tables.
According to the minister, one of the biggest challenges facing the custodial facilities is the huge number awaiting trial persons constituting a whopping 75 per cent of the inmates’ population and disproportionately usurping resources and space. He appealed to state governments to speed up the justice delivery sys-tem so that justice will be quickly delivered for those awaiting trial for various offences.
“Many of them have been in detention for periods longer than the maximum jail terms prescribed for the offences they were alleged to have committed. Justice delayed for these detainees is justice denied. “Prosecution and defence counsels also deliberately ask for long adjournments (as delay tactics meant to wear each other out) and obtain advantage for their sides. This should be discouraged.
“There should be a judicial reform that will bring all criminal cases to an end within a specific period once trial begins, as obtains in some other countries. This will clearly eliminate the unsavoury state of long and seemingly indeterminate detention periods for awaiting trial persons,” he said. Aregbesola recalled that at the outbreak of COVID-19, the government initiated a programme of amnesty and pardon, leading to the release of some inmates, whose crimes were not serious, and on compassionate grounds.
The government, he said, paid the fines for some while others were released based on old age or sickness. He expressed delight that not a single case of infection was recorded in any of the custodial facilities, even as the disease raged worldwide and wreaked untold havoc across the globe.

WATCH: TV anchor has "lots of questions"after suffering stroke live on-air. Image: Julie Chin/Facebook
Oklahoma news anchor Julie Chin revealed that she “had the beginnings of a stroke” on live TV on Saturday, September 3.
She updated her worried fans via social media and said that she “should be just fine.”
“The past few days are still a little bit of a mystery, but my doctors believe I had the beginnings of a stroke live on the air Saturday morning,” she said on Monday, September 5.
“Some of you witnessed it firsthand, and I’m so sorry that happened.”
She added: “The episode seemed to have come out of nowhere. I felt great before our show. However, over the course of several minutes during our newscast, things started to happen. First, I lost partial vision in one eye. A little bit later my hand and arm went numb. Then, I knew I was in big trouble when my mouth would not speak the words that were right in front of me on the teleprompter.
“If you were watching Saturday morning, you know how desperately I tried to steer the show forward, but the words just wouldn’t come.”
The 52-year-old said that her “co-workers recognised the emergency situation unfolding and called 911.”
“Anne, Jordan, TJ, and Kaden, I’m so grateful for your quick action. I’ve always said I work on the best team, and this is one more reason why,” she said.
“I’ve spent the last few days in the hospital undergoing all sorts of tests. I’m thankful for the emergency responders and medical professionals who have shared their expertise, hearts, and smiles with me.
“My family, friends, and KJRH family have also covered me in love and covered my shifts. My Dad jokes this is the first extended period of time I’ve spent by myself since my son was born, and he’s right,” she added.
“I’m glad to share that my tests have all come back great. At this point, Doctors think I had the beginnings of a stroke, but not a full stroke. There are still lots of questions, and lots to follow up on, but the bottom line is I should be just fine.”
Videos circulating online show the moment that Julie suffered the stroke.

The news of the scary incident involving Julie Chin comes months after a comedian in the US collapsed on stage and fractured her skull following a brag about receiving the Covid vaccine.
On February 5, 2022, comedian Heather McDonald collapsed on stage and fractured her skull.
She uploaded video footage to social media of the incident and asked the question: “I fainted on stage and fractured my skull in front of a sold-out show. What do you think caused it?”
Ms McDonald was hospitalised after collapsing on stage during her live performance in Tempe, Arizona.

TOKYO (AP) — An American diplomat in Tokyo on Tuesday criticized China's “increasingly hostile maritime actions” as a threat to the safety of waterways in the resource-rich Indo-Pacific, as the United States seeks to strengthen security cooperation with allies Japan and the Philippines.
U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission Raymond Greene said disregard for international law and heavy-handed actions by Beijing are aimed at increasing its control over the region. “Specifically, the increasingly hostile maritime actions by the People’s Republic of China threaten the safety of our waterways,” he said at a news conference ahead of a meeting of officials from the three countries.
”No one nation should be able to dominate Indo-Pacific waters through coercion and outright intimidation," he said. "Might does not make right and we do not shy away from calling out Beijing’s provocative actions.”
He said China's actions included a militarization of the East and South China Seas, harassment of foreign fishing and other vessels, and depletion of maritime resources and the environment.
China ranks second highest in military spending after the United States and is rapidly modernizing its forces. It says its military is purely for defense and to protect its sovereign rights.
Japan sees China as a regional security threat and worries about growing tensions surrounding Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its territory. Tokyo also is concerned about increasing cooperation between China and Russia and their joint military activities around Japan, including joint firing drills off northern Japan over the weekend.
Japanese Vice Defense Minister Kimi Onoda, also at the news conference, said Japan and the Philippines as maritime nations share security challenges, including attempts by other nations to singlehandedly change the status quo in the South and East China Seas.
Robespierre L. Bolivar, chargé d’affaires at the Philippine Embassy, said promotion of cooperation among the three countries is important to help protect the Philippines’ maritime interests.
About 20 maritime security officials and experts from the three countries are to discuss maritime security cooperation at the two-day session.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a legal victory for former President Donald Trump, a federal judge on Monday granted his request for a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from his Florida home and temporarily halted the Justice Department’s use of the records for investigative purposes.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon authorizes an outside legal expert to review the records taken during the Aug. 8 search and to weed out from the rest of the investigation any that might be protected by claims of attorney-client privilege or executive privilege. Some of those records may ultimately be returned to Trump, but the judge put off a ruling on that question.
The order came despite the strenuous objections of the Justice Department, which said a special master was not necessary in part because officials had already completed their review of potentially privileged documents. The department said Monday that it was reviewing the decision but did not indicate if and when it might appeal.
The order almost certainly slows the pace of the department’s investigation into the presence of top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago, particularly given the judge’s directive that the Justice Department may not for the moment use any of the seized materials as part of its investigation into the storage of government secrets at the Florida property. The injunction is in place until the yet-to-be-named special master completes his or her work, or until “further court order.”
“The Court is mindful that restraints on criminal prosecutions are disfavored, but finds that these unprecedented circumstances call for a brief pause to allow for neutral, third-party review to ensure a just process with adequate safeguards,” Cannon, a Trump appointee, wrote in her 24-page order.
Even so, it is not clear that the decision will present a long-term impediment to the investigation’s progress or significantly affect investigative decisions or the ultimate outcome of the probe. And a separate assessment by the U.S. intelligence community of the risk posed by the apparent mishandling of classified records will continue under the judge’s order.
“While this is a victory for the former President, it is by no means an overwhelming win for him,” David Weinstein, a Florida criminal defense lawyer and former Justice Department prosecutor, said in an email. “While it is a setback for the government, it is also not a devastating loss for them.”
He noted, for instance, that the judge did not immediately order the seized documents returned to Trump or suppress any of the evidence.
Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley said Monday that “the United States is examining the opinion and will consider appropriate next steps in the ongoing litigation.” A lawyer for Trump did not respond to a request for comment.
The department and Trump’s lawyers are to submit by Friday a list of proposed special master candidates.
FBI agents in August seized roughly 11,000 documents and 1,800 other items from Mar-a-Lago as part of a criminal investigation into the retention of national defense information there, as well as into efforts to obstruct the probe. About 100 of the documents contained classification markings.
Trump’s lawyers had argued that a special master, usually an outside lawyer or former judge, was necessary to ensure an independent review of records taken during the search and so that any personal information or documents could be filtered out and returned to Trump.
In this case, the seized records “include medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information,” the judge’s order said.
Cannon said it was too soon to know whether Trump will be entitled to the return of any of the records, but “for now, the circumstances surrounding the seizure in this case and the associated need for adequate procedural safeguards are sufficiently compelling to at least get Plaintiff past the courthouse doors.”
She also said she found persuasive his lawyers’ arguments that he faced potentially “irreparable injury” by being denied access to records that might be of significant personal interest to him. She said the investigative process had, so far, been “closed off” to him.
“As a function of Plaintiff’s former position as President of the United States, the stigma associated with the subject seizure is in a league of its own,” Cannon wrote. “A future indictment, based to any degree on property that ought to be returned, would result in reputational harm of a decidedly different order of magnitude.”
The Justice Department had argued against the appointment, saying it was unnecessary because it had already reviewed potentially privileged documents and identified a limited subset that could be covered by attorney-client privilege.
The department had been using a separate “privilege review team” for that work, but Cannon cited at least two instances in which members of the investigative team were “exposed” to potentially privileged material, something she said raised questions about the adequacy of the process.
The department had also said Trump was not entitled to the return of any of the presidential records that were taken since he is no longer president and the documents therefore do not belong to him. And personal items that were recovered were commingled with classified information, giving them potential evidentiary value, the department said.
Though prosecutors had argued that Trump, as a former president, had no legal basis to assert executive privilege over the documents, the judge said he was entitled to raise it as a concern and permitted the special master to look for records that might be covered by that privilege.
“The major sticking point, I think, is that the executive privilege documents were included” in the judge’s decision, said Florida criminal defense lawyer Richard Serafini, a former Justice Department prosecutor.
Cannon, who was nominated by Trump in 2020, had signaled last month that she was inclined to appoint a special master and did so again during arguments last week, asking at one point, “Ultimately, what is the harm in the appointment of a special master to sort through these issues without creating undue delay?”

The stock market is a time-tested way to build wealth, but getting started can be intimidating. With thousands of public companies and countless financial metrics to consider, building a portfolio requires a lot of work. And deciding which stocks to buy is only half of the battle. Investors also need to keep tabs on those stocks, which means reading financial reports and staying up to date on relevant events.
Fortunately, there are easier ways to become a stock market millionaire. Here are two great index funds that can help you achieve that goal.
1. Vanguard S&P 500 ETF
The S&P 500 tracks the performance of 500 of the largest U.S. companies. Its components span all 11 market sectors, though three sectors -- information technology, healthcare, and consumer discretionary -- account for 52% of the its weight. Thanks to its broad scope, the S&P 500 is often viewed as a proxy for the entire U.S. stock market.

Over the last three decades, the S&P 500 has generated a total return of 1,770%, which is equivalent to an annualized return of 9.9%. At that pace, $100 invested on a weekly basis would grow into a $1 million portfolio in just under 32 years.
That makes an S&P 500 index fund, such as the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO), a very compelling investment idea. Shareholders benefit from instant diversification, and with an expense ratio of just 0.03%, the annual fee on a $10,000 portfolio would be just $3. Better yet, investing in an S&P 500 index fund requires virtually no work. And shareholders can sleep easy knowing that, while the stock market has crashed many times, the S&P 500 has always recouped its losses and gone on to hit new highs.
2. Invesco QQQ Trust
The Nasdaq-100 tracks the performance of 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Unlike the S&P 500, it includes both U.S. and international stocks, and its sector allocation looks quite different. Information technology (IT) companies alone comprise 50% of its weight, and the top three sectors -- IT, consumer discretionary, and communications -- account for 82% of its weight.
The Nasdaq-100 has not been around as long as the S&P 500, so less historical data is available. But the index has generated a return of 1,180% over the last two decades, which is equivalent to an annualized return of 13.6%. At that pace, $100 invested on a weekly basis would grow into a $1 million portfolio in just under 26 years.
That makes a Nasdaq-100 index fund like the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ) a smart choice for investors that are bullish on the tech sector. It offers many of the same benefits as an S&P 500 index fund -- instant diversification and very little work -- but the Nasdaq-100 has more than tripled the return of the S&P 500 over the last two decades.
As a caveat, that outperformance comes at a price. Due to its tech-heavy composition, the Nasdaq-100 has historically been more volatile than the S&P 500. The current situation is a great example. High inflation and rising interest rates have dragged both indexes down this year, but the Nasdaq-100 is currently 27% off its high, while the S&P 500 is down just 18%.
Also noteworthy, the Invesco QQQ Trust has a higher expense ratio of 0.2%, meaning the annual fee on a $10,000 portfolio is $20.
The secret to making money in the stock market
Investors need just two things to make money in the stock market: patience and commitment. Stock prices rise and fall in response to countless factors, and investors may be tempted to sell or to stop contributing to an index fund during a downturn. But attempting to time the market can be a very costly mistake.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq-100 have the capacity to create tremendous wealth over time. Investors just need to be patient and stay the course. That means investing on a regular basis, regardless of whether the indexes are rising or falling.

People in Barnstable, Massachusetts won't be able to vote Tuesday until the town resolves a mechanical issue with the vault that holds ballots, town officials said.
The town's clerk office unsuccessfully tried to open the vault that holds the election ballots at around 4:15 Tuesday morning, ahead of polls for opening at 7 a.m., a Barnstable spokesperson said. The precincts have been opened, but people won't be able to vote there until the problem with the vaults has been solved.
Barnstable officials say they're working on the issue, and are waiting on directions from the Secretary of State's office as to how to proceed.
If needed, Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin will seek a court order allowing polls to stay open later than 8 p.m. in Barnstable, a news release from his office said. | https://www.necn.com/news/local/mechanical-issue-prevents-barnstable-from-openings-its-ballot-vault-delaying-voting/2818458/ | 2022-09-06T11:55:27Z | https://www.necn.com/news/local/mechanical-issue-prevents-barnstable-from-openings-its-ballot-vault-delaying-voting/2818458/ | false | null |
SHORTSVILLE — Since shifting to 8-man football for the special spring season of 2021, Red Jacket had dominated all comers, winning all 16 of its contests and Section V’s first two 8-man championships.
The road to a third title will be more difficult this year — and the Indians’ hopes of another undefeated campaign have ended.
Bolivar-Richburg, a former Class D powerhouse making the move to 8-man this fall, handed Red Jacket its first loss in 8-man football Saturday afternoon, 42-26 on the Indians’ home field.
After Red Jacket forced a three-and-out on the Wolverines’ first possession, James Sibeto returned a punt 78 yards for a touchdown. It was the only Indians lead of the game.
Aiden Reed threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Micah Harshfield late in the fourth quarter to bring Red Jacket within 36-26, but the visitors responded with one final score to ice the outcome.
Harshfield finished with 90 yards rushing on 21 attempts, including an 8-yard TD. Harshfield also threw a 22-yard scoring pass to Sibeto. Sibeto notched four receptions for 97 yards.
Reed and Hasan Weatherbee paced the Indians defense with seven tackles apiece.
