Biden set to boost America’s semiconductor production with signing of CHIPS & Science Act
The president signed the legislation into law on Tuesday.
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - President Joe Biden says he’s giving the nation a $280 billion dollar boost to make key products right here in America.
On Tuesday, Biden signed the CHIPS & Science Act into law at a ceremony at the White House in front of lawmakers from across the country.
“This law funds the entire semiconductor supply chain for research and development,” said Biden.
The president says it will amplify the United States competitiveness over China specifically when it comes to semiconductor chip production.
Two plants by Intel are already under construction near Columbus, Ohio. The White House says more manufacturing companies are announcing plans for increased chip production.
“This will allow us to not only be secure, but leap ahead,” said Gina Raimondo, U.S. Commerce Secretary.
The legislation funds training in engineering and technology sectors, which the White House says will mean more high paying jobs.
Raimondo worked with federal lawmakers since February to get the bill to the president’s desk.
She talks about the one sticking point that brought them to the table.
“I think it was national security concerns,” said Raimondo. “So right now, we buy all of our semiconductors from Asia, specifically Taiwan, and those are the chips that are in every piece of military equipment.”
The CHIPS Act easily passed both the House and Senate with bipartisan support, but some Republicans remained opposed saying it was just a green light for higher taxes and further corporate welfare.

Cobra Kai is bringing back another familiar face from the Karate Kid franchise! Sean Kanan, who played villain Mike Barnes in Karate Kid III, will reprise his character in the upcoming fifth season, Netflix officially announced Tuesday. As part of the announcement, Netflix released the first official image of Kanan back in action.
Season 5, which drops in exactly one month, picks up after the surprising results of the All Valley Tournament. The formerly zen-loving Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) has plans to expand the Cobra Kai empire in an attempt to make his "No Mercy" style of karate the only game in town. With Kreese (Martin Kove) behind bars and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) setting karate aside to focus on repairing the damage he’s caused, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) must call on an old friend for help.
"As Terry Silver calls upon some old friends to put the Valley in a stranglehold, Daniel and Johnny are going to need all the help they can get to stop Cobra Kai in its tracks," executive producers Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg said in a statement.
Of course, Kanan won't be the only familiar face returning to the Miyagi-verse. Chozen, played by Yuji Okumoto in Karate Kid II, will make a welcomed return in the new season to help Daniel on his quest.
Macchio spoke with ET on the PaleyFest carpet about welcoming back Okumoto, who made a special appearance at the tail-end of season 4.
"There is a plan. The ending of the season opens up what could be, 'I can't let this happen on my watch and I need to call in reinforcements.' Pretty exciting to have Yuji Okumoto as Chozen come forward in season 5, but all the stories go on at that point," the actor said. "What's happening with Miguel? Where is he? What's going to happen in that? And then you have all our teen triangle love affairs of the Romeo and Juliet, soap opera-ness of what Cobra Kai is."
The series stars Macchio, Zabka, Courtney Henggeler (Amanda LaRusso), Xolo Maridueña (Miguel Diaz), Tanner Buchanan (Robby Keene), Mary Mouser (Samantha LaRusso), Jacob Bertrand (Hawk), Gianni Decenzo (Demetri), Vanessa Rubio (Carmen), Peyton List (Tory) and Kove. Dallas Dupree Young (Kenny), Oona O'Brien (Devon), Griffin Santopietro (Anthony) and Griffith also appear.
Cobra Kai returns Sept. 9 on Netflix.

OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) — A Nebraska woman has been charged with helping her teenage daughter end her pregnancy at about 24 weeks after investigators uncovered Facebook messages in which the two discussed using medication to induce an abortion and plans to burn the fetus afterward.
The prosecutor handling the case said it's the first time he has charged anyone for illegally performing an abortion after 20 weeks, a restriction that was passed in 2010. Before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, states weren’t allowed to enforce abortion bans until the point at which a fetus is considered viable outside the womb, at roughly 24 weeks.
In one of the Facebook messages, Jessica Burgess, 41, tells her then 17-year-old daughter that she has obtained abortion pills for her and gives her instructions on how to take them to end the pregnancy.
The daughter, meanwhile, “talks about how she can’t wait to get the ‘thing’ out of her body," a detective wrote in court documents. “I will finally be able to wear jeans,” she says in one of the messages. Law enforcement authorities obtained the messages with a search warrant, and detailed some of them in court documents.
In early June, the mother and daughter were only charged with a single felony for removing, concealing or abandoning a body, and two misdemeanors: concealing the death of another person and false reporting. It wasn't until about a month later, after investigators reviewed the private Facebook messages, that they added the felony abortion-related charges against the mother. The daughter, who is now 18, is being charged as an adult at prosecutors' request.
Burgess' attorney didn’t immediately respond to a message Tuesday, and the public defender representing the daughter declined to comment.
When first interviewed, the two told investigators that the teen had unexpectedly given birth to a stillborn baby in the shower in the early morning hours of April 22. They said they put the fetus in a bag, placed it in a box in the back of their van, and later drove several miles north of town, where they buried the body with the help of a 22-year-old man.
The man, whom The Associated Press is not identifying because he has only been charged with a misdemeanor, has pleaded no contest to helping bury the fetus on rural land his parents own north of Norfolk in northeast Nebraska. He's set to be sentenced later this month.
In court documents, the detective said the fetus showed signs of “thermal wounds” and that the man told investigators the mother and daughter did burn it. He also wrote that the daughter confirmed in the Facebook exchange with her mother that the two would “burn the evidence afterward." Based on medical records, the fetus was more than 23 weeks old, the detective wrote.
Burgess later admitted to investigators to buying the abortion pills “for the purpose of instigating a miscarriage.”
At first, both mother and daughter said they didn’t remember the date when the stillbirth happened, but according to the detective, the daughter later confirmed the date by consulting her Facebook messages. After that he sought the warrant, he said.
Madison County Attorney Joseph Smith told the Lincoln Journal Star that he’s never filed charges like this related to performing an abortion illegally in his 32 years as the county prosecutor. He didn't immediately respond to a message from the AP on Tuesday.
The group National Advocates for Pregnant Women, which supports abortion rights, found 1,331 arrests or detentions of women for crimes related to their pregnancy from 2006 to 2020.
In addition to its current 20-week abortion ban, Nebraska tried — but failed — earlier this year to pass a so-called trigger law that would have banned all abortions when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
A Facebook spokesman declined to talk about the details of this case, but the company has said that officials at the social media giant “always scrutinize every government request we receive to make sure it is legally valid.”
Facebook says it will fight back against requests that it thinks are invalid or too broad, but the company said it gave investigators information in about 88% of the 59,996 times when the government requested data in the second half of last year. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Nebraska-woman-charged-with-helping-daughter-have-17363094.php | 2022-08-10T01:07:55Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Nebraska-woman-charged-with-helping-daughter-have-17363094.php | false |
FBI's search of Trump's Florida estate: Why now?
Video above: Reaction to FBI search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate
The FBI's unprecedented search of former President Donald Trump's Florida residence ricocheted around government, politics and a polarized country Tuesday along with questions as to why the Justice Department — notably cautious under Attorney General Merrick Garland — decided to take such a drastic step.
Answers weren't quickly forthcoming.
Agents on Monday searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, which is also a private club, as part of a federal investigation into whether the former president took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence, people familiar with the matter said. It marked a dramatic escalation of law enforcement scrutiny of Trump, who faces an array of inquiries tied to his conduct in the waning days of his administration.
From echoes of Watergate to the more immediate House probe of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, Washington, a city used to sleepy Augusts, reeled from one speculative or accusatory headline to the next. Was the Justice Department politicized? What prompted it to seek authorization to search the estate for classified documents now, months after it was revealed that Trump had taken boxes of materials with him when he left the White House after losing the 2020 election?
Garland has not tipped his hand despite an outcry from some Democrats impatient over whether the department was even pursuing evidence that has surfaced in the Jan. 6 probe and other investigations— and from Republicans who were swift to echo Trump's claims that he was the victim of political prosecution.
All Garland has said publicly is that "no one is above the law."
A federal judge had to sign off on the warrant after establishing that FBI agents had shown probable cause before they could descend on Trump's shuttered-for-the-season home — he was in New York, a thousand or so miles away, at the time of the search.
Monday's search intensified the months-long probe into how classified documents ended up in boxes of White House records located at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year. A separate grand jury is investigating efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, and it all adds to potential legal peril for Trump as he lays the groundwork for a potential repeat run for the White House.

Trump and his allies quickly sought to cast the search as a weaponization of the criminal justice system and a Democratic-driven effort to keep him from winning another term in 2024 — though the Biden White House said it had no prior knowledge and current FBI Director Christopher Wray was appointed by Trump five years ago.
Trump, disclosing the search in a lengthy statement late Monday, asserted that agents had opened a safe at his home, and he described their work as an "unannounced raid" that he likened to "prosecutorial misconduct."
Justice Department spokesperson Dena Iverson declined to comment on the search, including whether Garland had personally authorized it. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the West Wing first learned of the search from public media reports and the White House had not been briefed in the run-up or aftermath.
"The Justice Department conducts investigations independently and we leave any law enforcement matters to them," she said. "We are not involved."
About two dozen Trump supporters stood in protest at midmorning Tuesday in the Florida summer heat and sporadic light rain on a bridge near the former president's residence. One held a sign reading "Democrats are Fascists" while others carried flags saying "2020 Was Rigged," "Trump 2024" and Biden's name with an obscenity. Some cars honked in support as they passed.
Trump's Vice President Mike Pence, a potential 2024 rival, tweeted Tuesday, "Yesterday's action undermines public confidence in our system of justice and Attorney General Garland must give a full accounting to the American people as to why this action was taken and he must do so immediately"
"The FBI director was appointed by Donald Trump," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., when asked about GOP allegations that the raid showed the politicization of the Justice Department. She added, "Facts and truth, facts and law, that's what it's about."
Notably quiet on the raid was Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who declined to react when asked about it during a stop in his home state of Kentucky, which is reeling from devastating storms. McConnell said: "I'm here today to talk about the flood and recovery from the flood."
Trump was meeting late Tuesday at his Bedminster, New Jersey, club with members of the Republican Study Committee, a group headed by Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana that says it is committed to putting forth his priorities in Congress.
The FBI reached out to the Secret Service shortly before serving a warrant, a third person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. Secret Service agents contacted the Justice Department and were able to validate the warrant before facilitating access to the estate, the person said.
The Justice Department has been investigating the potential mishandling of classified information since the National Archives and Records Administration said it had received from Mar-a-Lago 15 boxes of White House records, including documents containing classified information, earlier this year. The National Archives said Trump should have turned over that material upon leaving office, and it asked the Justice Department to investigate.
Christina Bobb, a lawyer for Trump, said in an interview that aired on Real America's Voice on Tuesday that investigators said they were "looking for classified information that they think should not have been removed from the White House, as well as presidential records."
There are multiple federal laws governing the handling of classified records and sensitive government documents, including statutes that make it a crime to remove such material and retain it at an unauthorized location. Though a search warrant does not necessarily mean criminal charges are near or even expected, federal officials looking to obtain one must first demonstrate to a judge that they have probable cause that a crime occurred.
Two people familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said the search Monday was related to the records probe. Agents were also looking to see if Trump had additional presidential records or any classified documents at the estate.
Trump has previously maintained that presidential records were turned over "in an ordinary and routine process." His son Eric said on Fox News on Monday night that he had spent the day with his father and that the search happened because "the National Archives wanted to corroborate whether or not Donald Trump had any documents in his possession."
Trump himself, in a social media post Monday night, called the search a "weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don't want me to run for President in 2024."
Trump took a different stance during the 2016 presidential campaign, frequently pointing to an FBI investigation into his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, over whether she mishandled classified information via a private email server she used as secretary of state. Then-FBI Director James Comey concluded that Clinton had sent and received classified information, but the FBI did not recommend criminal charges.
Trump lambasted that decision and then stepped up his criticism of the FBI as agents began investigating whether his campaign had colluded with Russia to tip the 2016 election. He fired Comey during that probe, and though he appointed Wray months later, he repeatedly criticized him, too, as president.
The probe is hardly the only legal headache confronting Trump. A separate investigation related to efforts by him and his allies to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election — which led to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol — has also been intensifying in Washington. Several former White House officials have received grand jury subpoenas.
And a district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, is investigating whether Trump and his close associates sought to interfere in that state's election, which was won by Democrat Joe Biden. | https://www.wgal.com/article/mar-a-lago-trump-fbis-search-of-florida-estate-why-now/40851966 | 2022-08-10T01:08:14Z | https://www.wgal.com/article/mar-a-lago-trump-fbis-search-of-florida-estate-why-now/40851966 | true |

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ROUND-UP: Ruud van Nistelrooy's PSV will face Rangers in the play-offs after seeing off Monaco while Dynamo Kiev's fairytale run continues after beating Sturm Graz in extra time to set up Benfica clash
- PSV will play Rangers in the Champions League play-offs after beating Monaco
- Luuk de Jong netted an extra time strike to see off the Ligue 1 side 4-3 on agg
- Dynamo Kiev are also through after edging past Austrian side Sturm Graz
PSV Eindhoven needed an extra-time goal from Luuk de Jong to overcome Monaco 4-3 on aggregate and set up an intriguing Champions League play-off tie with Rangers.
Trailing Monaco in the 89th minute, the 1988 European champions scored an equaliser through Erick Gutierrez to level the game at 2-2 before De Jong's strike in the 109th minute. UEFA scrapped the away-goals rule last year so Monaco did not advance when the overall score was 3-3 after normal time.
PSV boss Ruud van Nistelrooy will now face off against his countryman Giovanni van Bronckhorst, whose side pulled off a brilliant comeback to see off Belgian minnows Union Saint-Gilloise after they led 2-0 from the first leg - winning 3-0 in Glasgow and 3-2 on aggregate.
PSV saw off the threat of Monaco to set up a Champions League play-off tie with Rangers
Meanwhile, Dynamo Kyiv's unlikely run toward the Champions League continued with an extra-time win over Sturm Graz in the third qualifying round on Tuesday.
The Ukrainian club is now two games away from making the lucrative group stage of the Champions League as it faces a play-off against Benfica over the next two weeks.
Goals from defender Kostiantyn Vivcharenko in the 97th minute and midfielder Viktor Tsyhankov in the 112th lifted Dynamo to a 2-1 win in Austria and a 3-1 victory on aggregate.
The game will pit PSV boss Ruud van Nistelrooy against countryman Giovanni van Bronckhorst
Dynamo's four Champions League qualifying games in the past 20 days are the only competitive matches it has played all year because of Russia's was on its home country. Ukrainian clubs are also relying on depleted rosters with little hope of attracting players from other countries.
For the second straight qualifying round, Dynamo needed extra time and late goals in the away leg to advance.
The next challenge for Dynamo and veteran coach Mircea Lucescu is a two-leg playoff against Benfica as it tries to join Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League group stage. Shakhtar earned its place by being top of the Ukrainian Premier League when it was abandoned last season because of the war.
Dynamo will host Benfica in the first leg next week in Lodz, Poland, where it is playing its 'home' games in the European competition. Russian teams have been banned from UEFA and FIFA competitions.
Benfica eased past Midtjylland 7-2 on aggregate with a 3-1 win in Denmark on Tuesday.
Sheriff was eliminated Tuesday and will not return to the group stage where its debut season one year ago started with wins against Shakhtar and eventual champion Real Madrid.
Dynamo Kiev's fairytale journey continues as they edged past Austrians Sturm Graz
The champions of Moldova lost 2-1 at Viktoria Plzen to go out 4-2 on aggregate against the Czech champion.
Plzen next faces Qarabag in the playoffs after the Azerbaijan title holder shocked Ferencvaros 3-1 in Budapest to advance 4-2 on aggregate.
Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt is building a European reputation after reaching the Europa Conference League quarterfinals last season, and eased into the Champions League playoffs with a 1-1 draw in Lithuania that completed a 6-1 aggregate win over Zalgiris.
Bodo/Glimt will host Dinamo Zagreb next week, after the Croatian champion's 4-2 win at home to Ludogorets made it 6-3 on aggregate.
Ludogorets ended the game with eight players, getting three red cards starting with midfielder Dominic Yankov in the 17th minute.
Red Star Belgrade, the 1991 European Cup winner, eased to a 2-0 win at Armenia's Pyunik for a 7-0 aggregate score
Maccabi Haifa awaits Red Star in the playoffs, despite a 2-0 loss in Cyprus against Apollon. Maccabi won the first leg 4-0.

MINNEAPOLIS — The polls are now closed in Tuesday's primary elections, positioning candidates across the state that much closer to another win in November.
As votes are tallied into Tuesday night, check back with KARE 11 for the latest updates on the state's most critical contests on our election results page.
RACES TO WATCH:
Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District
Perhaps the most-watched race Tuesday took place in Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District, boasting a showdown between Democrats Rep. Ilhan Omar and former Minneapolis City Council Member Don Samuels in the DFL primary. Incumbent Omar, assuming her first term in Congress in 2019, carried into this year's primaries the support of many progressives -- like Attorney General Keith Ellison -- in the historically blue district, while Samuels earned endorsements from other electeds, like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
One of the more contested topics between the two candidates during the primary election hinged on public safety. Omar is a vocal proponent of police reform, a supporter of the failed City Charter proposal to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a new Department of Public Safety -- a measure Samuels opposed.
While Omar came out on top in the 2020 primaries with almost 60% of the vote -- putting her in place to claim victory later that November by an even larger margin of just over 64% -- Samuels launched himself into an optimistic campaign.
"With the stakes as high as they are in Washington in these divisive times, people are demanding a different approach to leadership," Samuels told reporters in June.
Omar, meanwhile, did not mince words about her accomplishments in office at a townhall last week in Robbinsdale.
"I've actually made a difference in regards to introducing and working on legislation that creates better safety measures for our communities. I've delivered resources to work on crime prevention. As you know, we've just passed bipartisan legislation to deal with gun violence. We've delivered lots of resources to deal with mental health and substance abuse," Omar said. "My opponent served on the city council for three cycles as the chair of public safety. And made zero difference."
Separately on the Republican side, former NBA player Royce White squared off against Cicely Davis in the GOP primary.
Minnesota's Fourth Congressional District
Rep. Betty McCollum (D), the elected leader of Minnesota's Fourth Congressional District for over two decades, faced a primary challenge from more progressive-leaning Amane Badhasso Tuesday.
Badhasso, 32, an Ethiopian refugee and community organizer, told KARE 11 she ran against McCollum to create a space for "a new generation of leadership."
“Folks want access to a livable wage, they want Medicare for all, and they want to be able to leave a livable planet for their children."
In recent days, McCollum -- the 22-year veteran of the state's Fourth District seat, which covers St. Paul and most of its suburbs -- still spoke confidently about the work she feels she has yet to get done.
“The cooperation and the team spirit we've developed out here in the east metro is something that makes me excited about going back to Congress,” McCollum told KARE.
The Congresswoman won her 2020 primary race with 84% of voters, going on to beat her November challengers with 64%.
Minnesota's First Congressional District
Following the death of First Congressional District Rep. Jim Hagedorn (R) earlier this year, southern Minnesota voters prepared to immediately fill the late Congressman's seat in a special election, while also voting to determine who will appear on their ballots in November.
In Tuesday's special election, Republican Brad Finstad and Democrat Jeff Ettinger lead the pack of candidates in the conservative-leaning district. A farmer and soil lab operator from New Ulm, Finstad most recently led the regional USDA Rural Development Office under former President Donald Trump.
Ettinger, an attorney and former CEO of Hormel Foods in Austin, now heads the Hormel Foundation. Ettinger told KARE 11 he decided to run after the events of Jan. 6.
"...not only [because of] the riot, but the fact that Mr. Hagedorn refused to certify the election. Those are both to me really dismaying."
Both Finstad and Ettinger are also running in their regular party primaries with the goal of landing on November's ballot, and ultimately winning a two-year term.
"I'll be putting my head down with that farmer mentality, rolling up my sleeves and getting things done. That's what's resonating with folks, and that's who I am," Finstad told KARE 11.
Donald Trump carried the First District in Minnesota in both 2016 and 2020, but Democrats remain positive, if only for the fact that now-Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, represented CD1 for 12 years before assuming the role of governor.
Minnesota GOP Attorney General
In the statewide race for top lawyer, two Republicans at the top of the field looked to unseat AG Keith Ellison Tuesday -- Jim Schultz and Doug Wardlow.
Schultz, a corporate lawyer from Minnetonka, was formally backed by the GOP earlier this year. His opponent Wardlow, who represents Minnesota-based My Pillow among others, ran against Ellison as the GOP-endorsed candidate in 2018, losing to him by just 4 points.
Ellison's 2018 win earned him his first term as AG, serving the previous 12 years in Congress for Minnesota’s Fifth District.
Ellison is once again the DFL-endorsed candidate for the office, and didn't face major opposition in the primary.
Hennepin County Sheriff
The election to replace embattled Sheriff David Hutchinson will narrow from three candidates to two Tuesday.
Among them are Dawanna Witt, the DFL-endorsed, 23-year law enforcement veteran who currently heads the two largest divisions at the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office; Jai Hanson, a metro police officer for the last 14 years running as an Independent; and Joseph Banks, a bail agent and former officer of more than two decades.
The two candidates who earn the most support from Hennepin County voters will move on to November's contest.
The open field comes after Hutchinson fell into legal trouble last winter, admitting to driving drunk following a Sheriff's Association conference and crashing the county-owned vehicle he was driving. In the months following the event, and after facing mounting calls to resign, Hutchinson announced he would finish the rest of his term and not seek re-election.
Later taking a leave of absence due to "health-related reasons," Chief Deputy Tracey Martin assumed operations on behalf of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office.
Hennepin County Attorney
The effort to replace Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman after he spent 24 years in the office culminated Tuesday into a showdown between seven local lawyers with varying degrees of legal expertise.
The seven nonpartisan candidates include: Martha Holton Dimick, a Hennepin County judge; Rep. Ryan Winkler, the House Majority Leader in the Minnesota Legislature; Mary Moriarty, who spent 30 years as a public defender; Tad Jude, a former Washington County judge who also spent time as a state lawmaker; Paul Ostrow, a prosecutor currently working in the Anoka County Attorney's Office; Saraswati Singh, a Ramsey County prosecutor; and Jarvis Jones, the former head of the Minnesota Bar Association and the Hennepin County Bar Association.
Voters in Tuesday's primaries will reduce the field to two, who will then face off against each other again in November.
Freeman won his last election in 2018, earning 54% of the vote.

EVERETT, Wash. — Theirs is a future built on faith – a faith demonstrated by the worship songs Olesia Tanasiichuk sings with her 9-year-old daughter Nina – a faith tested by the cruelty of war.
Olesia, her mother Alla, and daughters Nina and 14-year-old Liliia are staying with a Snohomish couple who opened a guest house to the family out of the goodness of their hearts.
"We could hear the bombs. They light up the town," Olesia says through a translator. "It was really scary. My daughter's school is a bomb shelter now."
Homeowner John Bennett's wife's grandparents were Russian refugees.
"These people were kind of minding their own business when this thing happened to them and anything we can do as Americans to help them, we should," says Bennett.
Olesia's two sons, ages 18 and 20, are still in Ukraine.
They're not fighting the Russians yet, but they may be conscripted by the government this fall.
"I'm very worried," says the mother of four. "They've not been in the army. They don't know how to fight."
The family consists of just a few of the Ukrainian refugees currently flooding into Washington.
More than 5,400 were here in May. That number jumped by 1,200 more in June, to 6,618.
About 1,200 Ukrainian refugees are in Snohomish County, alone, considered the largest population in the state.
They're forced to eat from food banks, learn a new language, find work, and go to school.
Essentially they have to begin life all over again.
Olesia is taking English classes at Edmonds College.
Her mother, Alla, is reading a textbook and teaching it to herself.
One of the first terms she learned was "thank you."
Pointing to the sky she says, "I thank God for the opportunity to be here," through the translator, "and for all of the volunteers who have welcomed us."
In English she says, "I love you."
Olesia said she'd like all of her family to be in America and she's keeping the faith that will one day become a reality.
"Only God can make that happen," she says.
Refugee and Immigrant Services Northwest is helping Ukrainian families adapt to life in America. They're in need of housewares, bedding, laundry detergent, diapers, bath towels and, of course, homes to house the refugees. Donations can be dropped at the organization's main office in Rainier Hall on the campus of Everett Community College, or call 425-388-9307. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/ukraine/thousands-ukrainian-refugees-seeking-shelter-washington/281-5b9d7ba7-48a9-4eed-86df-d00c26820f50 | 2022-08-10T01:21:17Z | https://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/ukraine/thousands-ukrainian-refugees-seeking-shelter-washington/281-5b9d7ba7-48a9-4eed-86df-d00c26820f50 | true |
Massive catch! Man sets state record with 104-pound catfish
NATCHEZ, Miss. (Gray News) - A Mississippi man has raised the bar with his latest catch.
According to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, Christopher Halley caught a 104-pound blue catfish in the Mississippi River near Natchez on a trotline.
The department shared Halley’s catch on Tuesday regarding the new State Trophy Record Blue Catfish.
Officials said Halley’s fish was 3 pounds heavier than the previous record that was set in 1997 by the team of Freddie Parker and Brad Smith.
According to the department, this was the second blue catfish state record broken this year. Eugene Cronley of Brandon landed a 131-pound Blue Catfish in April using a rod and reel also in the Mississippi River near Natchez.
Mississippi fishing records are separated into three categories: Rod and Reel, Trophy and Fly Fishing. Those current records can be seen here.

LAPORTE — Some LaPorte County residents will have the opportunity to vote in two separate congressional races at this year's general election.
Gov. Eric Holcomb issued an executive order Tuesday directing a special election be held Nov. 8, on the same day as the regularly scheduled election, to fill the vacancy caused by the Aug. 3 death of U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Elkhart.
Under Indiana law, a special election must be held when a member of the U.S. House dies or resigns more than 74 days before the general election to ensure the district is represented for the remainder of the former member's two-year term.
In this case, Walorski died in a head-on vehicle collision near Nappanee, Indiana, 97 days prior to Election Day.
A replacement congressman can't simply be appointed, however, because the U.S. Constitution mandates every person serving in the U.S. House be elected to the chamber.
As a result, voters in the 2nd Congressional District will choose one person on Election Day to take Walorski's place for approximately eight weeks, and another person, or possibly the same person, to represent the district for a two-year term that begins Jan. 3.
According to the Indiana Election Division, the Republican and Democratic parties have until Aug. 26 to convene a caucus of their 2nd District precinct leaders to nominate a candidate for the special election, and the Republicans have until Sept. 3 to select a replacement for Walorski, who won the May 3 GOP primary, on the general election ballot.
The Indiana Republican Party announced Tuesday both vacancies will be filled — potentially by the same person — during caucuses set for 10 a.m. Region time Aug. 20 at Grissom Middle School, 13881 Kern Road, Mishawaka.
The Democratic special election caucus so far has not been scheduled. Though, it's likely Paul Steury, an environmental educator from Goshen, will be the party's candidate in the special election since he already is the Democratic nominee for the general election.
The Libertarian Party also is entitled to nominate a special election candidate. In fact, any eligible Hoosier can run as an independent candidate in the special election if he or she submits 4,538 verified petition signatures from registered 2nd District voters no later than Aug. 26.
The Indiana Election Division currently anticipates the candidates for the full, two-year term will be listed first on the Nov. 8 ballot, followed by the candidates running in the special election.
But things will be a bit trickier in LaPorte County since it's split between the 1st Congressional District, represented by U.S. Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, D-Highland, and the 2nd Congressional District.
Moreover, this year's elections are the first following the General Assembly's once-a-decade redrawing of Indiana's congressional districts following the U.S. Census to ensure each has a nearly equal population, and several townships in LaPorte County were shifted between the 1st District and the 2nd District during the redistricting process.
That means LaPorte County voters living in eastern Galena, Hanna, Hudson, Johnson, Lincoln, Kankakee, Noble, Pleasant, Prairie, Union, Washington and Wills townships will vote in both the special election and general election for the 2nd District.
Residents of Center and Scipio townships also will vote in the 2nd District special election. But they'll vote on the same ballot in the general election for the 1st District, except for a tiny bit of the city of LaPorte that's in Center Township but remained in the 2nd District.
Voters living in Clinton, Cass, Dewey and western Galena townships only will vote in the 2nd District general election, since they currently are located in the 1st District.
Finally, voters from Coolspring, Michigan, New Durham, and Springfield townships only will see the 1st District general election on their ballot.
Kosciusko County also will have varying ballots due to redistricting shifts between the 2nd District and 3rd District, while eastern Cass County was added to the 2nd District and only will vote in the general election.
Residents in the remainder of the 2nd District, comprised of Elkhart, Fulton, Marshall, Miami, Pulaski, St. Joseph, Starke and Wabash counties, will vote in both the special and general elections.

Formerly incarcerated California couple weds; bond strengthened over hunger strikes
NORWALK, Calif. - Jack Morris spent the majority of his 40-year prison stint in solitary confinement. Dolores Canales also spent time incarcerated in the SHU – California's nickname for isolation units.
So, it's not lost on them that they will never be alone again.
Morris and Canalas, both 62, were married on July 16 at the Los Caballeros Club in Fountain Valley in Orange County, with more than 100 friends, relatives and prison rights activists cheering as they took their vows.
"You know how they talk about fine wines aging?" Morris said Tuesday in an interview. "This is what this is. Dolores and I. Of course, you know, when we first got together, I had been in prison for 40 years, and I didn't know how to live in a community, and I didn't know how to live with another person. But Dolores helped me learn and experience the finer things in the world."
He added that he loves just holding hands with his new bride.
"And we laugh and we giggle and we see the world through each other's eyes," Morris said.
They chose the date in honor of the three hunger strikes that were held over the use of solitary confinement as punishment in California's prison system. The most famous of the strikes was on July 8, 2013, held outside Pelican Bay State Prison – where Morris lived since 1991 – and where activists carried signs bearing his name and picture.
They even engraved the dates of the hunger strikes on their champagne glasses. And on the day after their wedding, they held a solitary confinement symposium.
The pair first met in September 2017, just after Morris was released from prison, after being convicted of second-degree murder in 1978 when he stabbed a man to death at a fight that got out of hand.
For her part, Canales has spent a total of 20 years in prison, some of it in solitary confinement, for drug-related crimes. She's been sober since 2001 and out of custody since 2009.
A mutual friend, Danny Murillo, founder of UC Berkeley's Underground Scholars, asked Canalas - whom he knew through her prison activism – to give Morris a ride to an event.
"My homeboy just got out," Canales remembers him saying. "And so I went to go pick him up."
The two clicked.
And they had their first official date in Oct. 7, 2017, taking a $1 ferry to Balboa Island in Newport Beach.
"And of course, in 40 years, not ever, you know, having your toes sinking to the sand in the ocean and things like that," Canales said, recalling how special the day was for her and Morris. "So a lot of it was just so intense. Life was so magnified."
Morris also remembers that day so clearly.
"Of course, for me, it was, ‘Oh wow,’" Morris said.
Putting his toes in the sand was so different from the last four decades of living in a concrete box where Morris said he was "surrounded by nothing but steel in my shadow."

Not only do Morris and Canales get each other, have many shared experiences and laugh over the same jokes, they are also both also interested in helping others less fortunate than they are.
For example, Morris loves the way Canales organizes bus trips for families to visit relatives in prison who can't afford the treks themselves.
"We would drive a bus from Los Angeles to the California-Oregon border," Morris said. "All these people we didn't know and just take them to see their family members going to prison."
Morris has been married before but his wife died. This is Canales' first official marriage.
Morris works for the re-entry department at Saint John's Community Health, a federally funded program in Los Angeles. Canales is the director at the Bail Project. The both live in Norwalk, Calif.
The couple plan to honeymoon in Italy and Scotland, and then open up some type of home for foster children or those re-entering society after prison life.
They're not exactly sure what's in store for them in the long-term future.
But what they do know is that they won't be alone again.
"All we know," Morris said, "is that together it's going to be met with us holding hands."

SAN FRANCISCO and SUZHOU, China, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovent Biologics, Inc. ("Innovent") (HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and commercializes high-quality medicines for the treatment of oncology, autoimmune, metabolic, ophthalmology and other major diseases, announces that the primary endpoint was met in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 study (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT 05003531) of picankibart (R&D code: IBI112), a recombinant anti-interleukin 23p19 subunit antibody injection, in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
This study (CIBI112A201) was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of picankibart under various administration in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. A total of 250 subjects were randomized 1:1:1:1:1 to receive 50 mg (once at week 0, 4, then every 12 weeks), 100mg (once at week 0, 4, then every 12 weeks), 100mg (once at week 0, 4, then every 8 weeks), 200mg (once at week 0, 4, then every 12 weeks) of picankibart or placebo. The primary endpoint of the study was the proportion of subjects who achieved a ≥90% improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) at week 16 (PASI 90) and the total study period is 52 weeks. To date, a total of 245 subjects (98.0%) have completed the primary endpoint at week 16, and a total of 236 subjects (94.4%) have completed the visit at week 28.
- In terms of efficacy, 52.0%~54.9% of the subjects achieved PASI 90 after picankibart treatment at week 16, which was significantly higher than that in the placebo group and reached the primary endpoint, in addition, the proportions of subjects who achieved PASI 75 and PASI 100 were also significantly higher than that in the placebo group (all P-values<0.001). The study results through 28 weeks showed a long-term efficacy of picankibart, with 61.2%~72.5% of the subjects who received picankibart achieving PASI 90, 78.4%~88.0% of the subjects achieved PASI 75, and in one of the groups received picankibart, about 40.0 % of subjects achieved complete skin lesions clearance (PASI 100).
- In terms of safety, picankibart is generally well tolerated, and no new safety signals occurred compared with previous clinical studies. The overall safety profile is similar to other IL-23p19 mAbs. The most frequently reported (incidence ≥10%) treatment-emergent adverse events were upper respiratory tract infection with mild to moderate severity.
- In addition, we observed a significant increase from baseline in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) of subjects treated with each dose of picankibart compared to placebo (all P-values<0.0001).
Clinical study results showed that 50-200mg picankibart administered every 12 or 8 weeks significantly improved the skin lesions and quality of life of subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, demonstrating the significant improvement effect at long-dose interval. It is worth noting that, at the 16-week primary endpoint assessment, subjects received only two administrations, significantly less than other similar biologics. Moreover, continued improvement in efficacy across the picankibart treatment was observed after reaching the primary endpoint (up to 28 weeks), demonstrating the potential sustained advantage of long interval dosing. The study period is 52 weeks (one year), and currently, subjects in the placebo group have been treated with IBI112, and the dosing and follow-up of the study are ongoing. Full data on the study will be published at future academic conferences or peer-reviewed journals.
Professor Jianzhong Zhang of Peking University People's Hospital, the principal investigator of the study, stated, "Psoriasis is a life-long disease, which has a huge impact on the physical and mental health and quality of life, while the current traditional treatment is not ideal. We are pleased to find significant clinical benefit and improved quality of life in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in the phase 2 clinical study of picankibart. Meanwhile, picankibart also shows potential advantages in long dosing intervals and long-term efficacy. I am confident and looking forward to the success of its upcoming phase 3 study, and hope it will provide an alternative treatment option for Chinese psoriasis patients."
Dr. Lei Qian , Vice President of Clinical Development of Innovent, stated: "We are happy that phase 2 study of picankibart in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis achieved primary clinical endpoint. As a new generation of IL-23p19 target drug, picankibart shows clear advantages in the long-dose interval and long-term efficacy. The dosing frequency is only 5 times annually, and it shows a great potential for both efficacy and safety, and could be offered as a more friendly treatment option compared to the current ones on the market whose dosing frequency is 7-16 times annually. Currently, there is no IL-23p19 target drug independently developed by Chinese pharmaceutical companies in the domestic market. We are greatly encouraged by the results of good efficacy, safety and tolerability of picankibart in the phase 2 clinical study. Based on this, we are confident and will actively advance the phase 3 clinical study of picankibart in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, and we plan to optimize the dosing regimen scientifically based on quantitative pharmacology to further improve efficacy, and synchronize the use of auto-injector in the phase 3 clinical study. We are striving to provide more convenient, user-friendly and effective treatment options for patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis as soon as possible and to fulfill our mission of providing high-quality innovative biopharmaceutical products that are accessible to patients."
About Picankibart (IBI112) Picankibart (IBI112) is a monoclonal antibody independently developed by Innovent, with independent intellectual property rights. This product specifically binds to IL-23p19 subunit, thereby preventing IL-23 from binding to cell surface receptors, resulting in the inhibition of the IL-23 receptor-mediated signaling pathway. Preclinical data demonstrated that IBI112 has a clear target and well-elucidated mechanism of action and significant anti-inflammatory effect. Further, good safety and tolerability have been verified in the phase 1 clinical study. At present, the phase 2 clinical studies of IBI112 in the indications of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and ulcerative colitis are ongoing, and the primary clinical study endpoint has been met in the phase 2 clinical study of psoriasis, suggesting that it may provide a more effective treatment option for patients with psoriasis or other autoimmune diseases.
About Psoriasis Psoriasis is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory and systemic disease mediated by both genetic and environmental factors, which can occur in all age groups with no gender preference. The typical clinical presentation includes scaly erythema or plaque with non-infections, localized or widespread distribution. It is a life-long noninfectious condition, which is very difficult to treat. Psoriasis can be classified into psoriasis vulgaris (including guttate psoriasis and plaque psoriasis), pustular psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis and arthropathic psoriasis. Approximately, 80~90% of patients have plaque psoriasis, and nearly 30% of the cases are moderate and severe. There are significant differences in the prevalence of psoriasis around the world, with more than 6 million patients in China. At present, in China, the main systemic treatments include methotrexate (MTX), cyclosporine A, retinoic acids and biological agents. Since 2019, psoriasis treatment in China has gradually entered the era of biological agents.

WACO, Texas (AP) — A Little League batter rose from a beaning to console the upset pitcher in a dramatic scene at a Little League regional tournament game Tuesday in Waco, Texas.
The incident happened during a Little League Southwest Regional Playoff final.
Righthander Kaiden Shelton of Pearland, Texas, was facing batter Isaiah Jarvis of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tuesday when an 0-2 pitch got away from him and slammed into Jarvis' helmet. Jarvis fell to the ground clutching his head as his concerned coaches ran to his aid.
After a few moments, Jarvis' head cleared enough for him to walk unaided to first base. Meantime, Shelton stood on the mound staring at the ground in tears over what happened.
After a moment, Jarvis walked to the mound and put his arms around Shelton, telling him, “Hey, you're doing great. Let's go.” Shelton's teammates and coach gathered around the pair to join in consoling the young righty.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays will be seeing a lot of each other in the coming weeks.
On Monday night, Ramón Urías and the upstart Orioles measured up fine.
Urías hit a three-run homer in the first inning, and Anthony Santander, Ryan Mountcastle and Austin Hays also went deep to lift Baltimore to a 7-4 victory over the Blue Jays.
The Orioles, who entered the day two games behind Seattle and Tampa Bay for the final two wild cards in the American League, pulled within three of Toronto for the first wild card. This was the first of 15 meetings down the stretch between the Blue Jays and Orioles.
“I don’t know if it’s a statement. I think that we swung the bats really well,” Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. “Nice to see us hit some homers. I feel like it’s been a little bit since we’ve had a game like that offensively.”
Baltimore starter Jordan Lyles (9-8) allowed a third-inning homer by Cavan Biggio, but the Orioles responded in their half of that inning with back-to-back solo shots by Santander and Mountcastle to make it 5-1.
Matt Chapman hit a solo homer for Toronto in the sixth, but Hays answered with one of his own in the bottom half.
The Blue Jays scored twice in the eighth, but Félix Bautista came on and retired Whit Merrifield on a two-out grounder with two on. Mountcastle’s RBI single made it 7-4.
The first two Toronto batters of the ninth reached on an error and a single against Bautista. Then the big right-hander struck out Teoscar Hernández and got Bo Bichette to bounce into a double play to secure his fifth save.
Yusei Kikuchi (4-6) allowed five runs and six hits in five-plus innings for the Blue Jays.
“Just a tough way to start today, I think, in the first inning,” manager John Schneider said. “With the three-run homer, kind of putting yourself in a hole a little bit.”
Lyles yielded two runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.
“We obviously know how good and talented they are — one of the better offenses in baseball,” Lyles said. “We know we’re getting into a good stretch of quality opponents. We’ve been playing ball well. Just another series, another Monday night.”
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled in the fifth to extend his hitting streak to 19 games, the longest in the AL this year.
Baltimore has won six of seven.
WITH THE GLOVES
In addition to their double play in the ninth, the Orioles also turned one in the fifth with men on first and third and one out.
“That’s not talked about enough, honestly, is how well we’re playing defense,” Hyde said. “Those double plays did not get turned the last few years. Those are big moments, get some guys out of a jam.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Blue Jays: RHP Ross Stripling (hip) threw a bullpen session Sunday, and Schneider said his next step is either live batting practice or a rehab start. … Schneider said LHP Tim Mayza (shoulder) could be back with the team in three weeks.
Orioles: Hays (side) returned to the lineup after missing four games. … Baltimore recalled RHP Louis Head from Triple-A Norfolk, and INF Rylan Bannon was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
UP NEXT
All-Star Alek Manoah (12-5) takes the mound for the Blue Jays on Tuesday night against Baltimore’s Kyle Bradish (1-4).

Appeal of Watson suspension 'right thing to do,' NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he feels the league needed to keep pushing for a year-long suspension for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson because of his "egregious" and "predatory behavior" toward women.
Speaking at the owners' meetings Tuesday in Bloomington, Minnesota, Goodell addressed the league's decision to appeal a six-game suspension given to Watson by Sue L. Robinson, a former federal judge appointed by the NFL and NFL Players Association as an independent league disciplinary officer.
Robinson found Watson violated the league's conduct policy after he was accused by two dozen women of sexual assault or harassment while he played for Houston. Watson has settled 23 of the 24 lawsuits filed by the women, though he has denied any wrongdoing.
The league has been seeking an indefinite suspension and fine for Watson, and felt Robinson's six-game ban wasn't enough. Goodell cited the collective bargaining agreement for empowering the league to seek further discipline.
"Either party could certainly challenge and appeal that and that was something that we felt was our right to do as well as NFLPA," Goodell said. "So we decided it was the right thing to do."
Watson's fate now rests with Peter C. Harvey, a former New Jersey attorney general handpicked by Goodell to handle the appeal. Harvey has previously worked as an arbiter in league cases.
Goodell said the league is pushing for a full-year penalty for Watson because of the evidence against the 26-year-old, who was accused of being sexually inappropriate with the women during massage therapy sessions while with the Texans in 2020 and 2021.
In her 16-page ruling, Robinson concluded Watson violated the league's personal conduct policy with his behavior, using both "egregious" and "predatory" to describe his actions
Goodell was asked why the league is seeking a harsher punishment.
"Because we've seen the evidence," he said. "She (Robinson) was very clear about the evidence. She reinforced the evidence, that there was multiple violations here and they were egregious, and that it was predatory behavior.
"Those were always things we felt was really important for us to address and in a way that's responsible."
Goodell doesn't have a sense of when Harvey will issue a decision. There's no specific deadline for Harvey, but the appeal policy requires that it be "expedited."
There also remains the possibility the sides could reach a settlement.
While attending the meetings in Minnesota, Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam had little to say about the ongoing appeal.
"We'll respect and honor the process," he told reporters.
Meanwhile, Watson's playing status for the Browns' exhibition opener is unknown.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski didn't reveal whether Watson will play in Friday's game in Jacksonville. Stefanski said the team has a plan but he won't make it public until he tells his players.
"We have a framework for how we are going to handle this preseason," he said. "As you know, you always reserve the right to change your mind based on how practice goes and those type of things, but we are pretty confident in the plan we have."
Stefanski said Watson will make the trip to Florida. The three-time Pro Bowler has not played since 2020. He sat out last season after demanding a trade and before the allegations came to light.
Cleveland's plan has been to start Jacoby Brissett while Watson serves his suspension. But now that it's possible that it will encompass most, if not all of the season, there's a chance the team could look outside for another quarterback.
Josh Rosen and Josh Dobbs are also on Cleveland's roster and are expected to get the bulk of the playing time during the exhibition season.

The man who says he found human remains at Lake Mead Saturday is speaking about the discovery.
This marks the fourth time human remains have been discovered in the past three months at Lake Mead.

Christopher Orozco says he and his family were visiting the lake to go for a swim when they found the bones sticking out of the sand under shallow water.
He captured photos and videos of the bones before reporting them to the National Park Service.
Saturday’s discovery at Swim Beach is the same location where human remains were found on July 25th.
“We went in the water, one of my daughters said she saw something in the water she thought it was a bone,” says Christopher Orozco, “I said okay let me go see, as I got closer I picked it up I noticed it was a bone like this big.”
The National Park Service confirmed to KTNV that Orozco was the reporting party.
The Clark County Coroner’s Office explained the remains found on August 6th and July 25th were partial remains and they are investigating if they belong to the same individual.

LEE’S SUMMIT, Mo. (WDAF) — The Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation Department has released surveillance footage, and more information after a family’s party at Summit Waves was abruptly canceled.
The family who reserved the popular water park said they felt they were racially discriminated against.
The Evans family, including their two teenagers, said they’d paid $2,000 to host a large birthday bash for their two teenagers last weekend at Summit Waves.
However, when they showed up for Saturday’s party, pool managers wouldn’t allow them inside the park and canceled the party. Water park directors told the family they were uncomfortable with the gathering.
“It appears to have been canceled simply because the park staff was uncomfortable with a group of Black teenagers having a pool party to enjoy the end of the summer,” said Chris Evans, the teens’ father.
Lee’s Summit Mayor Bill Baird spoke out Tuesday morning, saying the city was investigating.
“Unfortunately, statements were made by a Parks and Recreation manager at Summit Waves that were inappropriate and insensitive,” Baird said in a statement.
The parks department said it completed an internal review and identified “missed processes and miscommunication that led to the cancellation.”
“A sincere apology is owed to the Evans family and our Lee’s Summit community,” Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation said in a statement. “LSPR strives to be a respectful and inclusive organization where all members of our community feel welcome and appreciated. Inappropriate language, social media posts and behavior are not acceptable and will not be tolerated.”
The parks department said the family advertised the party on social media, which was not part of the agreement. The department said Summit Waves staff tried to call the family multiple times but didn’t hear back.
Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation (LSPR) also said it received calls from other parents asking about party details and safety concerns.
LSPR decided to cancel the party at 5 p.m. Saturday. The event was scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
“Safety pertaining to the anticipated crowd size and the potential impact it might have on party guests and the staff was the sole reason for the cancellation,” LSPR said in a statement.
The department says they heard back from the family at 5:30 p.m., and staff notified them the party was canceled. Evans refutes that, saying they didn’t hear from the park until they showed up for the party.
LSPR said the family arrived at Summit Waves at 6:15 p.m., and staff again told them the event had been called off.
Lee’s Summit police estimated about 500 people were there between 7-7:30 p.m., twice the number Summit Waives said it agreed to for the event. But Evans said staff and police could have been confused by partygoers showing up and guests leaving when the water park when it closed for the event.
However, the department said through its investigation, it learned that Summit Waves staff failed to arrange required security for the party.
Then on Sunday, the parks department said it learned a Summit Waves lifeguard made a “disturbing” social media post.
“The comments were appalling and not condoned by Parks and Recreation and are inconsistent with the culture I know the City of Lee’s Summit strives to reflect,” Baird said.
Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation said its administrator contacted the family and apologized for the incident on Saturday as well as the social media post.
The department said it has given the family a refund, and the family’s attorney said they’ve also been offered a free party. But that attorney said legal action isn’t outside the realm of possibility at this point.
The parks department said the administrator and family have agreed to a follow-up conversation Wednesday to continue discussions.
“LSPR intends to complete a comprehensive review of the rental process, including communication. LSPR will also enhance training to align with the city’s diversity and inclusion efforts. LSPR is committed to serving all people in our community and providing exceptional parks and recreation experiences for everyone,” the department said. | https://www.ksn.com/news/lees-summit-issues-apology-releases-footage-from-summit-waves-incident/ | 2022-08-10T01:44:00Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/lees-summit-issues-apology-releases-footage-from-summit-waves-incident/ | true |
Just hours after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began executing a search warrant on the Mar-a-Lago residence and resort of former President Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida on Monday, GOP lawmakers and groups began sending out emails condemning the search and taking the opportunity to boost their fundraising efforts.
As Insider reported, the Republican National Committee (RNC) called for donations and said it would match donations by anonymous donors calling it the "last chance" to save Donald Trump.
The RNC called the FBI's search of Trump's estate a "raid" and said "it's hard to believe it but it's true."
Trump's own fundraising team said "These are dark times for our Nation" in a message to supporters, saying "The lawlessness, political persecution, and Witch Hunt, must be exposed and stopped."
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy also spoke out on the matter saying that he was "FURIOUS!" and accused the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) of being weaponized.
Rep. Jim Jordan asked for donations in a message attacking Democrats, saying that the money would help the GOP secure a majority in Congress for the upcoming elections, Insider reported.
But it wasn't just Republicans who solicited donations off the back of the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago. And, while it's not entirely clear yet what exactly the bureau was searching for at Trump's estate when they allegedly broke open a safe, as Trump put it, Democratic committees asked for donations as well in the hours after the search.
American Bridge and Never Again are both linked to the Democratic party and both praised the DOJ and the FBI while asking for donations themselves.
Never Again wrote in an email obtained by Insider asking for $10 donations, writing of Trump, "We're excited for his web of lies to unravel and for him and his friends to be brought to justice."
As Fox News reported, on Tuesday former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign sent out a tweet that appeared to fundraise off the FBI's Mar-a-Lago search.
A tweet that was sent out said, "Every ‘But her emails’ hat or shirt sold helps @onwardtogether partners defend democracy, build a progressive bench, and fight for our values," Clinton tweeted on Tuesday. "Just saying!"
As CNN reported, the former president was not in Florida when the FBI search warrant was executed. Axios reported that Trump was in New York City at the time.
Trump said his Florida residence and resort was "raided" by FBI agents. Trump released the statement on Monday, writing that his "beautiful home" was "currently under siege."
Agents seemed to be focused on an area of the club where Trump's residence and offices are located, according to CNN, citing a source familiar with the situation.
Trump released a statement on his Truth Social platform, writing, "After working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate."
It wasn't immediately clear what the specific reason for the FBI raid was or what specific part of an investigation it was connected to. | https://www.kivitv.com/news/national/trump-gop-lawmakers-fundraise-after-mar-a-lago-fbi-search-hillary-clinton-appeared-to-do-the-same | 2022-08-10T01:44:10Z | https://www.kivitv.com/news/national/trump-gop-lawmakers-fundraise-after-mar-a-lago-fbi-search-hillary-clinton-appeared-to-do-the-same | true |
FRESNO, Calif., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Members of the Fresno City Council joined with health and safety advocates from Alcohol Justice and the Friday Night Live Partnership at Fresno City Hall Tuesday to condemn California SB 930. The "gut & amend" bill, authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Assembly Member Mark Haney (D-San Francisco) is the 5th attempt since 2013 to disrupt the protections of California's statewide uniform last call.
"All previous attempts to disrupt the protections of a uniform statewide 2 a.m. last call have failed and for good reason – it's a terrible public policy change for California," stated Cruz Avila, Executive Director of Alcohol Justice. "Today we are here together, in my home town of Fresno, to say NO to SB 930 and NO WAY to creating a dangerous new class of California late night, bar hopping, impaired commuters."
SB 930 would allow closing times for on-sale retailers to be extended from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. as part of a dangerous "pilot program." The experiment would take place in 6 cities: San Francisco, Oakland, West Hollywood, Cathedral City, Coachella, and Palm Springs. Fresno was originally the 7th city in the pilot program but requested to be removed from the bill due to intense opposition among Fresno city leaders who will be voting on an opposition resolution on Thursday.
"The effort to keep Fresno bars open until 4 a.m. from 2 a.m. was reckless and dangerous," said Fresno City Councilmember Gary Bredefeld. "Our great Fresno Police already have to deal with numerous DUI arrests nearly every day. That's why several Council colleagues and I are bringing forward a Council resolution on August 11th opposing this stupidity. This bill, SB930, not surprisingly is authored by one of the most left-wing, radical, pro-criminal politicians that exists in Sacramento. Should it pass, our citizens and their families will have a greater chance of being injured or killed due to having more drunk drivers on our roads. That is why I will do everything to make sure this doesn't happen. Having drinking continue until 4 a.m. will only yield more tragedies on our roads and highways and would be just one more insane policy from Sacramento politicians causing destruction in our community. This bill must be defeated."
" The City of Fresno has shown itself to be a leader in developing and upholding policies that put the well-being of its citizens first," stated Lynne Goodwin, Administrator Friday Night Live Partnership. " A city council resolution to oppose SB930 will demonstrate this city's continued commitment to putting the health and welfare of the people first. "
Public health and safety experts and advocates throughout the state are convinced there is no "local control" when it comes to alcohol because the danger, harms and costs will not stay in the "Pilot Project Cities" where the drinking and economic benefits occur. If the bill becomes law, all surrounding communities of pilot project cities will be threatened by late night drinkers traveling drunk and fatigued in the early morning commute hours.
"We already have a crisis of drunk drivers in Fresno County, said Steve Brandau, District 2 Supervisor Fresno County Board of Supervisors. "Fresno is considered the most dangerous city in California for drunk drivers, and 25th in the entire nation. Extending operating hours so bars can sell alcohol until 4 a.m. is a cocktail recipe for disaster – and a bad fit for Fresno. I am opposed."
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), California currently suffers more annual alcohol-related harm than any other state: 11,000 alcohol-related deaths, $35 billion in total costs, $18.5 billion in state costs. The CDC also identifies maintaining existing last call times as one of the 10 key policies for reducing the harms from reckless drinking and from alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths.
Fresno is following actions by the Los Angeles City Council which passed a resolution of opposition last week, and the powerful Los Angeles County Democratic Party (LACDP) that came out against SB 930 in a recent letter to Senator Scott Wiener, co-author of SB 930.
"I've talked to our downtown businesses and they don't want 4 a.m., said Fresno Councilmember Miguel Arias (District 3). "It would impose more costs with very little extra revenue being generated. They also know that patrons leaving drunk at 4 a.m. will be running into farm workers on their way to work. This policy doesn't fit in our city, our community. It's just not necessary."
SB 930:
- Is a poorly conceived and inadequately funded pilot project
- Strips away uniform protections of statewide 2 a.m. last call
- Costs the state at least $3-4 million per year to administer, mitigate the harm, and clean the blood off the highway; costs cities and towns in "Splash Zones" millions more
- Disregards 40 years of peer-reviewed, public health research on the dangers of extending last call
- Ignores the existing annual catastrophe of alcohol-related harm in California
- Uses the false narrative of COVID economic recovery to subsidize and reward late-night alcohol-sellers at government and tax-payer expense
"Fresno leaders are absolutely using power in the right way," stated Carson Benowitz-Fredericks, MSPH, CHES, Research Director, Alcohol Justice. "As a public health expert, I would argue they are using power in the only right way—to protect the residents of this city from reckless, short-sighted, science-denying policies promoted by politicians who would tip the rest of the state off the cliff just to enjoy the drunken view from 4 a.m. Now, let's stand up for every community in this state and use every bit of power we have to stop SB 930."

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta Now News at 10) — The City of Atlanta’s plans to lease hundreds of beds to Fulton County inmates is sparking outrage with advocates who say it hurts the most vulnerable.
A group of attorneys and advocates expressed outrage at Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens’ announcement that the city plans to lease up to 700 jail beds at the Atlanta City Detention Center. Dickens says the goal is to alleviate the crisis of jail overcrowding in Fulton County. He says it won’t affect plans to repurpose the building into the proposed John Lewis Center for Equity and Wellness next year, but opponents disagree.
READ MORE: Clean air advocates urge Georgia school systems to apply for school bus rebate funding“The solution cannot possibly be more space for people who cannot afford to pay their way out of jail,” said Southern Center for Human Rights Director of Impact Litigation Christina Remlin.
“Although Mayor Dickens has said he is committed to repurposing the jail within a period of four years, we are very clear that a period of four years extends well past Mayor Dickens’ first term in office,” said SCHR Public Policy Director Tiffany Roberts.
“We’re asking for Mayor Dickens to maintain his prior commitment, his promise to close the city jail and to use that for wrap around resources,” said Lyndon Waller, the programs director for the Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda.
The SCHR has filed several lawsuits filed over the last 30 years addressing jail overcrowding and mistreatment of inmates, defending hundreds of them who are jailed for minor crimes because they can’t afford to pay the bail and before they’re indicted.
“It’s over 650 people who are in for charges such as shoplifting, misdemeanor cases, possession of drugs less than a gram,” said SCHR Movement Policy Counsel Devon Franklin.

“A main point of contention is a written agreement between the city, Fulton County and Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat.
Among several provisions, SCHR says the agreement allows the sheriff to redefine “overcapacity,” it contemplates an extension of the agreement beyond four years and allows for unlimited amendments.
This proposal has been made before, and the people stood together and demanded that something be done,” said SCHR Policy Advocate Reverend James “Major” Woodall.
Advocates say there are better solutions. “Find ways to execute consent bonds for people who have bene given bonds, but there are bonds too high for them to make,” Roberts said.

While a national shortage of vaccines has choked efforts to combat the spread of the monkeypox virus, public health officials say an antiviral medication has shown promise to alleviate symptoms for infected people.
The problem: They cannot prescribe the medication Tecovirimat, also known as Tpoxx, without completing hours of paperwork because the FDA has classified it as an investigational new drug to treat monkeypox.
That bureaucratic hurdle is just one example of why state legislators, physicians and LGBTQ advocates say they remain deeply frustrated by what many call the federal government’s “flat-footed” response to the rapidly spreading virus that has infected at least 1,310 people in California, including 501 in Francisco.
Those frustrations took center stage Tuesday as the state Senate’s Select Committee on Monkeypox held its first oversight hearing about the public-health response to the outbreak.
State Sen. Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat who chairs the committee, said lawmakers will push federal officials “very hard” to speed up emergency authorization of Tecovirimat, so it can be readily used to treat monkeypox. Other senators echoed his call to allow for the drug’s widespread use.
“It needs to be easier for doctors to provide Tpoxx,” Wiener said. “We’re so lucky that we actually have this antiviral and supply right now is not a problem, either. We have millions of these treatments. But it is way, way too hard.”
Tecovirimat is FDA-approved for treatment of smallpox in adults and children. Researchers believe it’s effective in treating monkeypox and other related viruses, but its use for that purpose has not been approved. The FDA, however, recently adopted a protocol that allows the drug to be used to treat monkeypox in some cases, such as with people who are immunocompromised or those with severe infections.
Dr. Vivek Jain, an infectious disease specialist at San Francisco General Hospital and UCSF, told senators that translates into an avalanche of paperwork that doctors have to spend hours filling out in order to prescribe the drug.
Jain said initial data suggests Tecovirimat is very safe to use for monkeypox treatment, and many patients who use it say their symptoms begin to resolve. Monkeypox is not a fatal virus, but he said the infection can be extremely painful for many patients — an ordeal the drug could help mitigate.
“The process of moving through this illness is quite long and can take weeks,” Jain said, as he described the severe pain some infected people have when they try to swallow or have bowel movements.
For weeks, LGBTQ advocates have criticized what they’ve called a sluggish federal response to the virus. Many in the community are furious that federal officials didn’t maintain an adequate stockpile of vaccines to prepare for an outbreak.
That anger was palpable during Tuesday’s hearing, when some speakers equated the situation to the early days of the AIDS pandemic, when gay and bisexual men died by the tens of thousands as the government largely ignored the spread of the virus. State data shows that gay and bisexual men account for the vast majority of monkeypox infections to date.
Ande Stone, a mobilization manager for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, told senators that he’s outraged by the hurdles to receiving antiviral drugs. He urged them to demand the FDA cut such red tape.
“It is absolutely ridiculous that people are suffering weeks before they’re able to access treatment,” Stone said.
In addition to venting about hurdles to distributing antiviral drugs and vaccines, health workers and residents urged the committee to ensure there is more support to mitigate the harm caused by the virus, including better testing, protections against medical discrimination and paid sick leave for infected people.
David Watson, a San Francisco resident who recently recovered from monkeypox, said he became infected after he ran into a friend in the street. He said he kissed his friend on the cheek, not realizing the small redish and purple blemish on his cheek was a lesion, not a pimple.
Soon after, Watson became infected and so did his husband; the couple’s two dogs also had lesions. Watson said he became exasperated with the constant obstacles to receiving treatment. He said he visited the emergency room three times to seek help because his pain so severe that “opioids could barely touch (it).”
“It didn’t matter if I was standing up or lying down, the pain was off the charts,” Watson told senators. “We need better access to all forms of treatment. We need to stop the suffering now.”
Monkeypox usually causes flu-like symptoms, along with a rash and dense, fluid-filled lesions. The virus is spread by intimate personal contact, including sexual acts and kissing. It can also be spread by sharing bedding or clothes, or potentially, breathing in close proximity.

Ben Higgins and Nick Viall aren't fans of the two-lead Bachelorette format. ET spoke to the former franchise stars ahead of their appearance on E!'s Celebrity Beef, and they revealed why they haven't enjoyed Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia sharing the current season of The Bachelorette.
"I think we've seen them pit women against each other before. I think it's happening this season... If you have two leads, it's just going to be natural that it's going to turn into a competition," Nick noted. "The Bachelorette doesn't expect to ever get rejected. It certainly has happened in the past and when it does, it's a big deal, but throw in another lead other people get to choose from, it just completely changes the dynamic of the show. It definitely puts, I think, Rachel and Gabby in a tough spot."
"I hope for them that they can focus on the connections that they seem to be forming and not worry about being rejected," he added. "I think they both have some nice connections and I'd like to see them really prioritize those, but that's easier said than done sometimes. We're all human."
Ben said he would "agree with everything" Viall said, before adding another point of his own.
"Gabby and Rachel are doing a really good job managing and handling and processing all of this," he said. "It's a lot better than if I was the Bachelor with Nick. I don't know if Nick and I would be sitting at night being like, 'Oh, that was so cute what she did that. I like her. You like her too? That's cool.' Maybe we would, we're not in that situation, but I do think the two of them are handling it well."
Both men also agreed that two men should take a turn at co-leading, before the franchise ends the concept of shared seasons for good.
"I sure would like to see it with two men and see how they handle competing against one another," Nick said. "It would be, I think, only fair and then a little entertaining to give some of the women in the cast the power, like the men have this season."
"I would love to see how two Bachelors do it, but then I would like it to stop. I don't want this to be a trend. I don't want this to be like a thing that happens year over year," Ben concurred. "I don't want it. It's too much chaos for me. I'm not in tune enough with the show. I don't pay enough attention to figure out how there's 32 guys and what side they're on. I don't get it."
Despite not loving the format of the current season, both Viall and Higgins are invested in the leading ladies' love stories. For Rachel, Nick and Ben like Tino or Aven, while they both consider Erich to be a wildcard on Team Gabby.
As for who would make a good Bachelor, Nick pointed to single dad Nate, who's currently competing for Gabby's heart.
"I think it's obvious that Nate would make a good Bachelor. I think being a father is a good storyline. He is obviously a very attractive man. I think he seems very charismatic and he's outspoken," he said.. I just really like how he is handled all the situations... I have been impressed with Nate."
While both Ben and Nick agree that Tino is another good Bachelor contender, they're hoping that he ends up with Rachel in the end.
"We all know Tino can't be the Bachelor, because if he doesn't... If Rachel doesn't pick him, I don't," Nick said, seemingly at a loss for words at the prospect.
"That might be the clearest relationship that I've ever seen," Ben added of Rachel and Tino. "I'm in it for them. If they don't work out, I'll be in tears on my couch."
Ahead of the end of Rachel and Gabby's journey, Nick and Ben offered the women some advice for navigating love in the public spotlight.
"I would just tell them to stay off the internet and enjoy the experience," Nick said. "And if they're lucky enough to be in a relationship, to just focus on that relationship and do whatever they can to protect the people they're in a relationship with."
Nick added that the ladies should also "stay off Reddit," something Ben wholeheartedly agreed with.
"People were so mean to me on there. I was like, 'I can't do this ever again. This is not healthy for me.' There was not one positive thing said, and I know somebody thinks at least one positive thing about me, so that was brutal," Ben said, before offering more words of wisdom for Gabby and Rachel.
"Enjoy the experience. Part of that is never letting your head get too big or your head get too small. People are going to criticize you. People are also going to celebrate you. It's not going to make sense on either direction," he said. "A year later, it's all going to kind of shake out, and you're going to find your way, hopefully, and it's going to be really fun."
Also really fun was Nick and Ben's experience on Celebrity Beef, in which they tried to settle once and for all who was the better Bachelor by cooking up sausage in the kitchen under the guidance of host Joel McHale.
"It was a fun environment and it's always fun to compete with Ben," Nick said, before Ben added, "It was a really enjoyable afternoon of filming and it's fun to cook."
It was made more meaningful as the men were competing for charity; Nick played for End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin, while Ben supported Project Hope.
"With The Viall Files, I have a large audience of women and I'm grateful enough to hear many of their stories," Nick said of his popular podcast. "Obviously, unfortunately, domestic abuse is something that happens all the time. Being from Wisconsin, I wanted to support my home state... I think we can never bring too much awareness and support to the victims of domestic abuse."
"It's an international healthcare non-profit that does a lot of work building hospitals and healthcare clinics in areas of the world that are either struck by disaster or are infiltrated with some unfortunate disease," Ben said of Project Hope. "Project Hope is a large nonprofit, so I'm learning a lot from being able to be a part of it."
While fans will have to wait to see which of the guys comes out victorious, Nick feels comfortable conceding the Best Bachelor title to Ben.
"I think Ben and I both like to say that the other person was the better Bachelor, but we all know Ben [was]. We all know what everyone thinks. No one's ever told me I was on the Mount Rushmore of Bachelor Nation," he joked. "We all know Ben's the best... Ben will always be a friend.

Cooper Roberts, boy paralyzed in Fourth of July shooting, hoping to return to school
(CNN) - An 8-year-old boy paralyzed in a mass shooting that happened on the Fourth of July says he hopes to return to school in the coming months.
Cooper Roberts was hit with a bullet that severed his spinal cord - paralyzing him from the waist down and damaging his aorta and esophagus, according to his family.
Cooper’s parents said returning to public school once he’s done with rehabilitation will be a huge motivation for their son, saying he’s excited to see his friends.
The 8-year-old has another six to 12 weeks at a rehab facility. The family said he would then move to attend half days with his twin brother at their elementary school.
Cooper is among dozens injured in the Highland Park shooting that occurred in Illinois during an Independence Day parade, where seven others were killed.

Coinbase Global Inc reported a larger-than-expected quarterly loss as investors worried by this year's rout in risky assets shied away from trading in cryptocurrencies, sending its shares down 6% after the bell on Tuesday.
Trading volumes at the cryptocurrency exchange more than halved to $217 billion in the second quarter, with retail participation sinking 68% and institutional trading falling 46%.
Coinbase said it expects trading volumes to fall further in the current quarter, underscoring the turmoil brought to the sector by the collapse of certain crypto ventures and a broader selloff in financial markets.
That downturn has sent bellwether bitcoin 50% lower in 2022, forced several companies including Coinbase to cut jobs and raised fears of a drop in interest from small traders.
Coinbase said its monthly transacting users fell 2% sequentially to 9 million in the April-June quarter.
"Coinbase did not see a mass migration off its platform during the quarter, but its users are becoming more passive in their cryptocurrency investing," said Michael Miller, equity analyst at Morningstar Research.
That could be a material drag on Coinbase's earnings as the company generates most of its revenue from trading fees, Miller added.
Adjusted loss was $4.76 a share in the quarter, compared with the $2.65 expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv data. Revenue fell 63%, missing market expectations.
Even though operating expenses surged 37%, the company lowered its annual expenses forecast for technology, development and administration to between $4 billion and $4.25 billion, from $4.25 billion to $5.25 billion.
"The reduction is unlikely to restore profitability at current revenue generation levels," Miller said.

U.S. Open ticket sales soar following Serena Williams' retirement news originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Tennis fans are lining up to see Serena Williams play one last time.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner wrote in a piece for the September issue of Vogue that she plans to end her professional tennis career at some point after the U.S. Open. The event begins at the end of August, and Tuesday’s ticket sales show the intrigue for what could be Williams’ final event.
“You talk about the Serena effect, it’s like a tsunami,” United States Tennis Association spokesman Chris Widmaier told The New York Post. “Since people have learned of the news, we’ve sold, as of 3 p.m. [Tuesday], 13,000 tickets to the Open, including 4,500 or thereabouts for opening night.”
Widmaier added that the 13,000 number “may be unprecedented.”
Getting tickets won’t come cheap once the event is completely sold out. Widmaier revealed some spectators are attempting to sell their $35 tickets for the upper deck of Arthur Ashe Stadium for the opening Monday night of the event for $7,000 on Ticketmaster. The venue has a capacity of 23,771.
Serena Williams Announces Plan to Retire
There is no guarantee that the Aug. 29 crowd at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center will even get to see Williams play. The draw for the event is not out yet, and first-round matches will be played on Aug. 29 and Aug. 30.
Fans are anticipating a first-round win from Williams. Around 1,500 tickets were sold for the night of Wednesday, Aug. 31, between the time Williams’ editorial was posted and 3 p.m. ET on Tuesday, according to The Post.
Regardless of when she plays, the six-time U.S. Open champion can expect a heroes’ welcome – and potential goodbye – when she takes the court in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/u-s-open-ticket-sales-soar-following-serena-williams-retirement-news/3330758/ | 2022-08-10T02:31:19Z | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/u-s-open-ticket-sales-soar-following-serena-williams-retirement-news/3330758/ | false |

Dogs and their human friends came together in the waters off California to surf and take home the top prize.
The World Dog Surfing Championships 2022 was held in Pacifica, Ca. at Linda Mar Beach, where dogs who can surf showed off their skills. Some may say it's easier to balance on four legs, but these are dogs we are talking about. Still, impressively they showed skills that could easily rival many humans.
Attendance is free and open to the public, and categories include the Best Waves competition and the live championship event. Events are live streamed and posted online for everyone to enjoy.
Attendees included Rocket Dog Rescue which brings dogs from shelters to be adopted out and Pali Boucher who is part of the organization said they were able to adopt "a lot" of dogs out during the event.
Winners included Surf Dog Teddy who took home a top prize in tandem. | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/canines-show-their-skills-at-the-world-dog-surfing-championships-2022-in-california | 2022-08-10T02:39:47Z | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/canines-show-their-skills-at-the-world-dog-surfing-championships-2022-in-california | false |
(Texas Tribune) — Texas’ youth prison system urgently needs money to crawl out of its growing crisis, in which children are at times locked in cells 23 hours a day and nearly half of detained youth have been on suicide watch, the agency’s director told lawmakers Tuesday.
The Texas Juvenile Justice Department — currently under federal investigation for an alleged pattern of abuse and mistreatment — is severely understaffed, with agency officials saying last month it is nearing systemic collapse. After The Texas Tribune reported last week on dire conditions inside the state’s five youth prisons, the Texas House Juvenile Justice and Family Issues Committee looked for possible solutions at a legislative hearing.
“I think we can all agree this is cruel and unusual,” said state Rep. James Talarico, D-Round Rock, citing reports of children using water bottles as makeshift toilets while stuck in their cells and routinely hurting themselves to get attention from staff. “Is there anything between now and next [legislative] session that’s going to solve this?”
Talarico and 33 other House Democrats sent Gov. Greg Abbott a letter Monday asking him to bring lawmakers together immediately in a special legislative session to address the emergency. Abbott’s office did not immediately respond to questions about the letter Tuesday.
TJJD sounded the alarm last month, when interim director Shandra Carter stopped accepting newly sentenced kids from county detention centers. The agency can’t guarantee the safety of the fewer than 600 youth already in its care, she said, because it can’t keep people on the job. Last year, the turnover rate for detention officers hit more than 70%, and most new hires quit within six months.
As of Tuesday, more than 160 children were waiting to be transferred from also understaffed county detention centers to the state’s five juvenile prisons, Carter told the committee. For many children, the wait, which in some cases has been as long as three months, means more time in lockup since they are unable to begin and complete required programming.
A spokesperson for Abbott, who alone can call lawmakers to the Texas Capitol outside of regular legislative sessions every two years, said last week that he will support TJJD’s request to increase salaries next session. The legislative session begins in January, and any budget decisions would largely not take effect until next September.
Talarico said more immediate action is needed.
In his Monday letter, he said a special legislative session must include measures to close “failed facilities” and restore and increase funding for anti-violence and rehabilitation programs. He also called for salary increases, prioritizing diverting children from incarceration, and providing alternatives for children in suicidal crises or with other mental health emergencies.
“Waiting until the next session is a death sentence for incarcerated children,” the letter read.
Juvenile justice advocates have long urged closing state prisons and instead putting necessary mental health and rehabilitative resources into local communities. Others have proposed building smaller facilities closer to urban centers, which have larger labor pools than the rural areas where most prisons are located.
For state Rep. Gene Wu, a Houston Democrat who has long worked in juvenile justice, frustration with the state’s juvenile justice system comes from “getting the same answers and dealing with the same issues again and again and again, and there never seems to be any resolution.”
TJJD has been plagued by sexual abuse and mistreatment scandals for more than a decade. In recent years, counties have shifted more toward keeping children closer to home and sending fewer to the state prisons, shrinking the population from thousands to fewer than 600. But the ones left often are the most difficult to manage because of violent behavior, severe mental health needs or both.
Aside from funding, Wu on Tuesday pushed for sending even fewer kids to state facilities. A juvenile must have been found to have committed a felony to go to TJJD, but Wu said many smaller counties still send children to state prisons for low-level, nonviolent felonies.
While the majority of new admissions to TJJD last year were for violent offenses, 10% were for unauthorized use of a vehicle or possession of a controlled substance, according to data from Texas Appleseed, a social justice advocacy organization.
“Maybe we should … talk about not sending state jail felonies to TJJD,” he said in the hearing. “It seems like joyriding in a car seems like a bad offense to be sent to a state prison.”

Wyoming’s senators both asked Tuesday for more information about the FBI’s raid at former President Donald Trump’s Florida home.
“Raiding a former president’s home is unprecedented,” Sen. John Barrasso said Tuesday morning. “The Justice Department needs to quickly and transparently tell the American people who approved this raid and why it occurred.”
Sen. Cynthia Lummis tweeted out a similar statement a few hours later.
“I’m very concerned about the precedent being set by the FBI. People in Wyoming deserve answers on why the DOJ raided a former president’s home,” she said.
The FBI searched Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate Monday as part of an investigation into whether he took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence, according to the Associated Press. This development represents a dramatic escalation of law enforcement action against the former president.

“My beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump said in a statement Monday evening. “They even broke into my safe,” the statement continued.
Barrasso and Lummis did not go as far as some of Trump’s other allies, who called for action like the defunding of the FBI. The raid also led to Trump’s allies speaking out against the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice.
“If the FBI can raid a U.S. President, imagine what they can do to you,” New York Rep. Elise Stefanik said in a tweet. “The Biden administration’s political weaponization of the FBI and DOJ is an actual threat to democracy. There MUST be accountability,” she later added.
Stefanik took over for Rep. Liz Cheney as House Republican conference chair after Cheney was ousted last year for her continued opposition towards Trump.
Cheney declined the Star-Tribune’s request for comment on the raid.
Cheney’s Trump-endorsed challenger, however, joined in with the likes of Stefanik and went more extreme than Wyoming’s senators in her response to the raid.
“If the FBI can treat a former President this way, imagine what they can do to the rest of us. It’s a 2-tiered justice system—one for elites & another for their political enemies,” Harriet Hageman said in a tweet Tuesday. “Like sending 87k IRS agents to harass citizens. Or the J6 committee. Political persecution!”
While a search warrant does not suggest that criminal charges are imminent, federal officials looking to get one must first prove to a judge that they have probable cause that a crime occurred.

It’s live-or-die week for California labor agenda
BRACE YOURSELVES: Are you ready for suspense day, the Legislature’s secretive, biannual culling of bills for ostensibly financial reasons? If not, we’ve got you covered.
A slew of major labor and business measures are among the hundreds of bills that will be quickly passed or killed Thursday in both houses’ appropriations committees. The most closely watched of those is SB 1162, a proposal from Sen. Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara) that would require the state to publish a range of pay data — broken down by gender, race and ethnicity — collected from large companies.
That legislation would apply to the in-state workforces of businesses with 250 or more employees, including those headquartered outside of California. The threat of having internal salary data exposed to the public has unsurprisingly drawn the ire of business groups like the California Chamber of Commerce, which is hoping SB 1162 will be stopped in its tracks.
Another bill facing heavy opposition is SB 1044, which would prohibit companies from retaliating against an employee who refuses to work because they feel unsafe during an emergency. That proposal would apply to situations where a state of emergency is declared; an order to evacuate is issued at a worker’s home or school where their child is enrolled; or if an event poses an immediate danger to a workplace or a worker’s safety.
The bill’s backers say these protections are needed after stories of agricultural and domestic workers staying on the job during wildfires, and a December incident where six Amazon workers were killed when a warehouse was hit by a tornado in Illinois. CalChamber, however, argues the measure is far too broad and that employers already have a legal duty to maintain safe workplaces.
Other bills we’re watching this week would:
- Allow legislative staff to unionize. (SB 1577)
- Ban employers from using urine tests to look for traces of cannabis in current employees or potential hires. (AB 2188)
- Give workers five days of bereavement leave after a family member’s death. (AB 1949)
- Prevent businesses from charging women more than men for similar products. (AB 1287)

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY
GRID FUTURE REMAINS SHAKY — The Capitol is abuzz with talk of new spending to fight climate change, but the outlook was grim at a Senate subcommittee hearing this morning. Despite the state’s efforts to bring more energy projects online, it is projected to fall short of rising energy demand in the coming years, Mark Rothleder, Chief Operating Officer at the California Independent System Operator, told committee members.
The electrical grid, already producing 1,700 megawatts below its ideal capacity, could fall 1,800-2,000 megawatts short of California’s needs by 2025, Rothleder said. That forecast comes as the state prepares to close the Diablo Canyon Power Plant — a nuclear facility that provides nearly a tenth of California’s power — along with several gas-powered plants, and as lawmakers negotiate how to allocate an additional $3.8 billion in energy spending before the end of the month.
The state is working to phase out fossil fuels. But climate change has heightened power demand, with heat waves and drought causing more stress on the grid sooner than officials anticipated. And renewable energy projects have been delayed by supply chain issues. — Lara Korte
ON THE BEATS
MONKEYPOX RESPONSE: Federal officials today announced a new strategy designed to stretch out the limited supply of monkeypox vaccines to help protect up to five times as many people against the rapidly spreading disease. That news came just as a group of California senators gathered for an oversight committee hearing to discuss the state and federal response to the outbreak. “Honestly, it’s a little bit like the Hunger Games when it comes to accessing the vaccination,” Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), chair of the Senate select committee, said in his opening remarks.
State Epidemiologist Erica Pan told the committee she was encouraged by the federal government’s dose-sparing plan, which involves administering smaller doses of the vaccine just under the skin rather than deeper in the tissue. California, which has received just 109,000 doses of the Jynneos vaccine, has requested 600,000 to 800,000 doses. The disease has infected about 1,310 Californians as of last week, according to state numbers that are expected to be updated later today. — Victoria Colliver
UC STRIFE: The University of California’s governing board will meet publicly next week to discuss a report on UCLA’s move to the Big Ten athletic conference, marking its first joint discussion of the contentious move. The UC Regents last month asked UC President Michael V. Drake’s office to probe the impact that UCLA’s unilateral conference shift will have on student-athletes and other UC campuses. The biggest hit will land on UC Berkeley, which is expected to lose significant media revenue as it’s left behind in the Pac-12. Public discussion, paired with a closed-door session on “legal issues” surrounding the move, were newly scheduled in a meeting agenda released today.
Since UCLA and USC announced they’d leave the Pac-12 for the Big Ten, Gov. Gavin Newsom, who as governor sits on the Board of Regents, has demanded that UCLA explain its decision. The board last month discussed “litigation” surrounding the move during a closed-door session, though any such litigation has yet to be reported. The conference exodus reportedly caught the regents, UC Berkeley officials and the Pac-12 off guard. Drake was aware talks between the Big Ten and UCLA were happening, but his office has maintained he wasn’t involved.
AROUND CALIFORNIA
“California’s cliffs are falling into the sea. This map shows the spots where they’re eroding the fastest,” by the San Francisco Chronicle’s Tara Duggan: Between the wildfires, drought and lightning storms, another one of nature’s forces impacting California is erosion. A study from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego shows that cliffs at California’s farthest northern coastlines are eroding faster than anywhere else in the state.
“‘This finding is counter-intuitive, because wide beaches can protect cliffs from wave action. However, waves can also use beach sand as an abrasive to erode the lower cliff,’ read the study, which was published in the journal Geomorphology.”
“LA City Council Passes Ban On Homeless Encampments Near Schools And Daycares,” by LAist’s Phoenix Tso: “The Los Angeles City Council has voted to ban homeless encampments within 500 feet of schools and daycares.
The vote Tuesday was 11 to 3.
Before the vote, a group of advocates for the unhoused disrupted the meeting; two people were taken away in handcuffs.”

Despite replacing injured Quade Cooper to pilot the Wallabies to a stirring Rugby Championship win over the Pumas, Reece Hodge is ready to hand over the No.10 jersey for the second Test in Argentina.
Hodge came off the bench early in the second half after Cooper ruptured his Achilles and says he's happy to again assume the utility role for Sunday's (AEST) clash in San Juan, leaving Noah Lolesio or James O'Connor as chief playmaker.
Having played everywhere in the Australian backline apart from halfback, his versatility meant coach Dave Rennie could load up on forwards amongst his reserves to meet the power-packed Pumas.
"I think at the moment I'm just happy to play that utility kind of position and week to week I'll fit in wherever needed," 27-year-old Hodge said from Argentina on Wednesday.
"Eight weeks ago I missed out on the squad for (the) England (series) and for me every opportunity to be in the Test squad is a privilege.
"I enjoyed getting extended minutes on the weekend despite being so gutted for Quadey sustain that injury but I genuinely am willing to play wherever the team needs me.
"If we were to sit down now and say that I could contribute as part of the match-day squad heading into a World Cup, then it's something I'd be happy with; I'm just thrilled to be back in the squad."
Hodge said the serious injury to Cooper was a big blow for the team.
But he backed youngster Lolesio, who started at five-eighth during the England series, or veteran O'Connor to rise to the challenge.
"Quade's a very experienced player and he's an expert at getting the best out of people around him so we're not hiding the fact that it's a massive loss for us.
"But Noah steered us to a series win against France last year and was very solid in that England series as well.
"And then James has played 50-plus Tests and his form at the start of Super Rugby season for the Reds was outstanding; he was probably one of the best players in the competition early on so we've got two really good options heading into the game this weekend."
O'Connor came off the bench for the second England Test in Brisbane but, in his return from troublesome hamstring issues, looked off the pace.
Hodge said his 32-year-old teammate was now in better shape.
"Rabs (O'Connor) has got his body in really good shape and he's been training well the last month and really pushing for selection," Hodge said.
Whether it's him or Noah who get the nod heading into this weekend we're confident that both of them are in great physical shape and both training really well so whoever steers us around will have the full confidence of the squad." | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/rugby-union/hodge-happy-to-hand-off-wallabies-10-role-c-7824000 | 2022-08-10T03:02:36Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/rugby-union/hodge-happy-to-hand-off-wallabies-10-role-c-7824000 | true |

River Seine rescue: Expert warns trapped beluga whale 'may die' during mission to free it, but insists 'we must still try'
A large crew of experts is riverside for the delicate mission along with around 80 volunteers including firemen, local French gendarmes, divers and vets.
Wednesday 10 August 2022 03:30, UK
An operation to move a Beluga whale trapped in the River Seine since Friday has begun, according to French media.
Ever since the whale strayed into a saltwater basin in the Normandy region, efforts have been under way to free it, amid fears over its rapidly declining health.
Now, conservation group Sea Shepherd France said a medical team plans to transport the four-meter-long (13-foot-long) whale to a coastal spot for "a period of care".
A team of around 24 experts and many other volunteers have used a crane and nets to load the beleaguered and dangerously thin beluga into a refrigerated truck for the approximately 99-mile (160-kilometre) night time trip to the northeastern French port town of Ouistreham.
While experts think the whale might be sick, moving the mammal could also cause it harm.
Speaking to the Associated Press, conservation specialist at Marineland Antibes Isabelle Brasseur said "he could die now, during the lifting", but she said it was still more "important to try".
She added a large crew had rallied behind the rescue attempt, with around 80 people, "half of them firemen, many gendarmes to secure the location, ten divers and many animal specialists, veterinarians and others."
Because the region is experiencing extreme heat, the team waited until nightfall before moving the whale, which weighs about 800 kilograms (1,764 pounds).
Rescuers hope to spare the mammal the fate of an orca that strayed into the Seine and died in May.
They remain hopeful it will survive after it responded to a cocktail of antibiotics and vitamins administered in the last few days and rubbed itself on the lock's wall to remove patches that had appeared on its back. | https://news.sky.com/story/river-seine-rescue-expert-warns-trapped-beluga-whale-may-die-during-mission-to-free-it-but-insists-we-must-still-try-12669594 | 2022-08-10T03:09:19Z | https://news.sky.com/story/river-seine-rescue-expert-warns-trapped-beluga-whale-may-die-during-mission-to-free-it-but-insists-we-must-still-try-12669594 | false |

As consumers tighten their wallets amid increasing inflation rates, a surprising find by the parent company of two popular affordably-priced restaurant chains in the U.S. has revealed that wallets for those making even more money might be tightening as well.
That's because, according to Dine Brands, sales during 3 months this year grew by some 6% to 8% for customers in households making $75,000 a year.
While it's unclear how Dine Brands CEO John Peyton got that data when he presented it recently, he suggested that the jump in sales is because "guests that often dine at more expensive restaurants are finding Applebee's and IHOP because of their well-known value position," he said.
As CNN reported, both Applebees and IHOP both saw sales drop, with customers in households making under $50,000 per year. Sales overall for both companies have seen small increases for stores open at least a year.
Both restaurants have increased menu prices this year as the United States deals with staffing shortages in the industry coupled with increased inflation.
Peyton said, "at times like these when economics are tough for our guests, our brands have particular expertise." | https://www.wrtv.com/news/national/wealthier-people-eating-more-at-applebees-ihop-according-to-parent-company | 2022-08-10T03:13:46Z | https://www.wrtv.com/news/national/wealthier-people-eating-more-at-applebees-ihop-according-to-parent-company | false |

Largest cage-free no-kill dog rescue to open new location in Alabama
MACON COUNTY, Ala. (WSFA) - The largest cage-free no-kill rescue group in the United States has announced it will open a location in Alabama.
Officials Big Dog Ranch Rescue, the 100-acre site will sit on the former home of a greyhound training facility in Macon County and will serve as a rescue, rehabilitation and adoption center for neglected and abused dogs across the south.
“The expansion will allow us to double our impact in saving last-day dogs from euthanasia by increasing our capacity to a facility where our rescue efforts are desperately needed,” Big Dog Ranch Rescue Founder and CEO Lauree Simmons said. “Together, we can make a difference in ending dog homelessness and saving more lives with the help of Shorter, Alabama’s resourceful community.”
The Macon County location will be named “Big Dog Ranch Rescue, Alabama” and will serve as the sister site to the Palm Beach County, Florida location.
The facility, according to Big Dog Ranch Rescue, has 16 kennels and several other structures that will be renovated before its grand opening.
Big Dog Ranch Rescue said the rising costs of everything from fuel to food make the opening of the facility in Alabama even more critical.
“Many shelters are severely overcrowded, resulting in a record euthanasia rate for these former family pets. This new campus will allow Big Dog Ranch Rescue to double its impact by eventually saving 10,000 dogs each year,” the group said in a release.
The facility is set to open its first buildings in September. For more information about Big Dog Rescue or how you can help, visit this link.

HOUSTON (AP) — Aledmys Díaz hit a grand slam as the Houston Astros roughed up Martín Pérez and rallied past the Texas Rangers 7-5 Tuesday night.
Pérez (9-3) tied a season high by allowing seven runs in five-plus innings to snap a nine-game winning streak, the longest active string in the majors and the best of his career. He had gone 19 straight starts without a loss, with his last one coming on April 17.
The Astros snapped a two-game skid playing without manager Dusty Baker who remained out after testing positive for COVID-19 Thursday. Baker isolated in a Cleveland hotel room all weekend before taking a private jet back to Houston on Monday.
Bench coach Joe Espada is managing the AL West leaders until Baker returns.
Jose Urquidy (11-4) yielded five runs with a season-high three home runs in five innings but got his third straight win thanks to his offense.
Ryan Pressly allowed a double to Bubba Thompson to start the Texas ninth before retiring the next three batters for his 22nd save.
The Rangers led 4-0 early after home runs by Marcus Semien and Corey Seager. The slam by Díaz tied it in the fourth inning.
The Rangers quickly broke the tie on a solo shot by Adolis García with one out in the fifth inning that made it 5-4.
Jose Altuve, who had two hits, doubled home Jake Meyers from first in the bottom half to tie it. Altuve stole third base, and the Astros took their first lead of the game when he scored on a sacrifice fly by Yuli Gurriel that made it 6-5.
Alex Bregman singled in the sixth and moved to second on a balk by Pérez. An RBI double by Kyle Tucker extended the lead to 7-5 and chased Pérez.
Semien hit a leadoff homer to put the Rangers up 1-0. He drew a walk to start the third before Seager’s shot to the bullpen in right center extended the lead to 3-0.
Urquidy plunked Josh Smith with no outs in the fourth and he stole second base. A single by Thompson sent him home to make it 4-0.
Pérez sailed through the first three innings before getting into trouble in the fourth because of walks.
Altuve led off with a single and Pérez walked Gurriel. After Yordan Alvarez grounded into a double play, Pérez issued consecutive walks to Bregman and Tucker to load the bases.
Díaz then hit a changeup over the center field wall for his second grand slam this season to tie it at 4-all.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Astros: Espada said they haven’t yet decided the next step for RHP Lance McCullers Jr. after he made his fourth rehabilitation start at Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday. McCullers has been out all season with a strained right forearm. ... Espada said he’s been in constant contact with Baker since his positive test and that he’s doing well and itching to rejoin the team, but it's unclear when that will be.
UP NEXT
Houston’s Justin Verlander, who leads the majors with 15 wins and a 1.73 ERA, opposes Glenn Otto (4-8, 5.31) when the series continues Wednesday night.

David Cage has commented on Quantic Dream‘s reported history of toxic workplace culture and has denied accusations of homophobia and misogyny.
Back in 2018, French publications Le Monde, Mediapart, and Canard PC published stories alleging a harmful work culture at Quantic Dream, the studio where David Cage serves as co-CEO and scriptwriter. Quantic Dream ended up suing, alleging that the reports had damaged the studio’s reputation.
In a recent interview with Edge magazine (via Eurogamer) Cage discusses the company culture at Quantic Dream, and defends its response to the allegations of a toxic workplace environment:
“When you’re accused of things that go against everything you believe in, everything you’ve done in your life, it hurts. I don’t think we had an aggressive attitude,” Cage said.
Many of the accusations levelled at Quantic Dream as a studio were also centred on Cage himself. These included allegations of Cage making homophobic and misogynistic remarks. He denies these also, later on in the interview:
“I have never said or even thought such things. I fully understand people were shocked by seeing those words, and I am deeply sorry for the pain and confusion they have caused to women and the LGBTQA+ community. The quotes are abhorrent, and they do not reflect my views, or the views of anyone at Quantic Dream.”
Quantic Dream is currently working on Star Wars: Eclipse, a brand new narrative game set in The High Republic era, which is roughly 200 years before the well-known cinematic events of The Skywalker Saga. The studio recently responded to recent reports that said it is struggling to attract talent, saying work on three new games is going “serenely”.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Yext, Inc. (NYSE: YEXT) between March 4, 2021 and March 8, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 16, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Yext securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Yext class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7115 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 16, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Yext's revenue and earnings were significantly deteriorating because of, among other things, poor sales execution and performance, as well as COVID-19 related disruptions; (2) accordingly, Yext was unlikely to meet consensus estimates for its full year ("FY") fiscal 2022 financial results and fiscal 2023 outlook; and (3) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Yext class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7115 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Tata finalises deal to purchase Ford’s Sanand plant
Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited (TPEML) — the newly constituted EV subsidiary of Tata Motors — and Ford India Private Limited (FIPL) have signed a Unit Transfer Agreement (UTA) which allows Tata Motors to acquire the latter’s manufacturing plant in Sanand, Gujarat. This comes almost a year after Ford announced its exit from India in September 2021; a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed with the Gujarat government in May this year.
The acquisition of the plant gives Tata Motors possession of the land and buildings, the manufacturing plant and the machinery and equipment within, and most importantly, all eligible employees of Ford India’s Sanand plant — for a total consideration of ₹ 725.7 crore.
Ford will continue to make engines at the Sanand plant for its operations worldwide, as was part of the agreement. For this, Ford will lease back the land and buildings of the powertrain manufacturing plant from Tata on mutually agreed terms. In case Ford ceases this operation in the future, TPEML has agreed to offer employment to eligible employees from that plant as well.
Tata Motors will need to make fresh investments to modify the plant to suit its existing as well as future line-up of electric vehicles. The Sanand plant currently has a manufacturing capacity of 3,00,000 units per annum, which is scalable up to 4,20,000 units.
With Tata’s existing plants nearing production saturation, this new acquisition is timely, and will help the carmaker in its plans to manufacture five lakh cars a year. The fact that this new plant is adjacent to Tata Motors’ existing manufacturing facility in Sanand should help in a smooth transition.
Having invested close to a billion dollars into building this facility in 2012, this plant is a distress sale for Ford India, while its manufacturing facility in Chennai is still unspoken for.
Tata Motors will look to capitalise on the additional capacity that the Sanand plant brings. Built to Ford’s global standards, the Sanand plant is a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with high levels of robotisation, and needs a minimum volume of 1,00,000 units per annum for operational breakeven. Tata is confident that with strong demand for its current line-up of models, with a slew of EVs planned in the coming years, it will be able to satisfy the requirements of the plant as well as its own production goals.
This plant could be the production base for Tata’s upcoming generation of electric vehicles such as the production versions of the Curvv mid-size SUV concept — based on the first generation Nexon EV platform — as well as the Avinya concept that’s based on a born-electric platform. Tata has also trademarked names of four other EVs earmarked for the coming years.

No bond for murder suspect Tim Herrington, who was in relationship with victim Jay Lee
OXFORD, Miss. (WCBI) – Tuesday, Judge Gray Tollison denied bail for suspect Tim Herrington Jr., who is charged with first degree murder in the death of Ole Miss student Jay Lee.
The nearly six-hour bond hearing in Lafayette County Circuit Court shed major light on the continuing murder investigation.
At 5:54 a.m. on July 8th, police say Lee sent a Snapchat message to Herrington, telling him he was coming to his apartment.
At 5:56 a.m. investigators say there was a Google search on Herrington’s computer for “how long does it take to strangle someone?”
That was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to the evidence that Assistant District Attorney Tiffany Kilpatrick presented in Lafayette County Circuit Court before Judge Tollison.
“It’s a good feeling because a murder is not on the streets and not going to be on the streets,” Lee’s older sister Tayla Carey told reporters after the hearing. “Everybody is going to still be protected.”
Detective Ryan Baker with the Oxford Police Department was among the witnesses and says they believe Lee was on his way to meet Herrington when he left his apartment for the last time. In a video of Herrington’s first interview with Oxford Police, Herrington admits to having sexual relationship with Lee (after he is heard lying about it initially).
“Because (Lee and Herrington) were communicating,” says Lee’s cousin Laquannah Beasley. “On text messaging, phone calls or whatever.”
Oxford Police obtained a copy of a Snapchat conversation between Lee and Herrington, and Detective Baker says the last location it shows for Lee is near Herrington’s apartment at Lafayette Place.
Oxford Police say cadaver dogs were alerted to the smell of a dead body inside Herrington’s apartment, personal vehicle and work truck.
Herrington’s attorney Kevin Horan questioned the qualifications of the cadaver dogs, especially their record for successfully locating a body, since this was the only trace evidence the prosecution presented.
“It is not yet over,” Carey says, echoing Detective Baker. “The investigation is still yet going on and this is only the beginning of a new journey.”
Kilpatrick also showed video of Lee’s car being driven into the Molly Barr Trails apartment complex. Seconds later, a man that police identify as Herrington, is seen walking across the screen.
Police later obtained a warrant to search Herrington’s apartment and ran a forensic analysis on his laptop, which revealed his Google search history.
“Everybody that’s out there, keep us in your prayers and keep us uplifted,” Carey says. “We know the truth now and it’s kind of like a weight lifted off of our shoulders.”
In addition to Herrington’s mother, the defense brought up a series of church leaders and former teachers to speak on behalf of Herrington’s character and reliability, saying that they did not believe the murder suspect would be a flight risk.
Herrington’s family and attorneys were not available for comment. | https://www.wcbi.com/herrington-bond-hearing/ | 2022-08-10T03:50:22Z | https://www.wcbi.com/herrington-bond-hearing/ | true |
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - The city of Allentown is reporting an increase in opioid overdoses.
In the first seven months of this year, EMS has responded to the most drug-related calls in at least three years. EMS Chief Mehmet Barzev said they've responded to 362 overdoses so far in 2022, an increase of 4.3% over last year, and he said police are just as busy.
"I know that they have about 101 Narcan uses already this year, so they're out there doing it every single day just like we are," said Barzev.
Narcan is the drug that can revive someone experiencing an overdose. It usually comes in a nasal spray, something every ambulance now carries.
"We would do that by using a nasal atomizer, and what that does is it takes liquid and it turns it into a fine mist that can be absorbed in the mucus membranes of the nose," said Barzev.
But often times in the case of a heroin overdose, or the more powerful fentanyl, even Narcan can't save you. So far this year the Lehigh County Coroner has recorded 76 drug overdose deaths. That's why Barzev is making sure people know the signs to look out for.
"It can be scary for the person who sees it. They're going to look like a cardiac arrest. Sometimes they'll be blue, snoring, hardly breathing at all," said Barzev.
The good news is that Allentown is seeing a significant drop in a different kind of drug: synthetic marijuana or K-2. Barzev said they've seen 92% fewer calls for it this year, which is good given the problems people smoking it have caused for his department in the past.
"We lost two full-time paramedics due to long-term injuries from being assaulted from a person who was under the influence," said Barzev. "If that's one less thing we have to worry about, it's a good day for us."
On Sept. 18 and Sept. 25 the Allentown Health Department will be distributing Narcan for free for people to keep in their homes. That's something Barzev said could be lifesaving if you know someone who uses. | https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/allentown-seeing-rise-in-opioid-overdoses/article_10eeb76a-1837-11ed-bd3b-63a7b795d3ba.html | 2022-08-10T03:53:33Z | https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/allentown-seeing-rise-in-opioid-overdoses/article_10eeb76a-1837-11ed-bd3b-63a7b795d3ba.html | false |
BROOKLYN, New York (WABC) -- A woman, who was out walking her dog in a Brooklyn park, is calling for justice after a man attacked them from behind, killing the dog.
Prospect Park is 500 acres of heaven in the middle of Brooklyn, loaded with cyclists, families and people walking their dogs.
"My heart is shattered, I'm shattered, my world is shattered, my dog was my world," said the victim named Jessica.
Jessica was too rattled to show her face or use her last name, after all, she just buried her best friend Moose.
It happened after a run-in the two of them had with an emotionally disturbed homeless man at the park.

"This is a violent individual who needs more than just an intervention, they need to be charged because they have violent tendencies," Jessica said.
It happened around dawn last Wednesday, as Jessica was walking her two-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever mix near the picnic house on the park's west side.
She says the man, who was muttering about immigrants, sprayed her with urine.
That's when she decided she had to get away, so she and the dog ran right back up the steps toward home, but by the time they got up to the top, the man had caught up, and attacked.
"We got up the staircase, he hit me in the back, and then he hit Moose across the face so hard that it shattered one of his teeth and he also apparently hit him on the side," Jessica said.
Moose needed not one, but two surgeries, when the veterinarian discovered he was suffering a perforated intestine. He died on the operating table.
"I just want justice for my dog, and I want people to be safe and feel safe in the park, no one should feel unsafe in the park," Jessica said.
The NYPD's Animal Cruelty Unit is investigating, as is the local detective squad.
Jessica hopes they make an arrest soon after this appalling case of random violence in the people's park.

HOUSTON, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Flotek Industries, Inc. ("Flotek" or the "Company") (NYSE: FTK) today announced second quarter results for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
"I'm pleased to report our second quarter 2022 results in which revenue of $29.4MM increased 2.3x compared to the first quarter 2022 and 3.2x compared to the second quarter of 2021. Our Supply Agreement with ProFrac was effective as of April 1st, spans 10 years, and covers an equivalent volume of our full suite of downhole chemistries to serve 30 of their frac fleets or 70% of their total frac fleet, whichever is greater. While we are still in the early days of the contract, serving an average of 8 fleets in Q2, we remain confident in our ramp up to the full contract scope over the coming quarters. We also have no reason to expect that our relationship is bounded by the 30 fleet or 70% numbers. As we continue to provide exemplary service, ProFrac has the incentive to maximize chemical deliveries from Flotek due to the structure of our arrangement. ProFrac recently announced the acquisition of US Well Services which is expected to close in Q4. As a result, they expect to be operating 44 active frac fleets by the end of 2022. While 70% of 44 is a bit less than 31, we fully expect that we will win more of that business as we scale up" said John W. Gibson, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.
"While we are proud of our ability to increase volume and revenue thus far, and are confident that we have the capability to fulfill future demand, we recognize that the glide path to positive Adjusted EBITDA hinges on future margins. We further recognize that this was only the first quarter of the ProFrac contract, and economies of scale and operating leverage should drive better margins as we continue to grow. In addition to the challenge any company would face evolving to growth at this pace, we were confronted with a difficult freight & logistics environment which our team is working hard to neutralize. In summary, we remain committed to achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA margins and continue to be optimistic about the future and expect improving financial performance throughout the year."
- Total Revenues: Flotek generated second quarter 2022 consolidated revenue of $29.4 million, up 128% from $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, driven by increased activity with ProFrac and continued growth in deliveries to transactional Chemistry Technologies customers.
- Net Income and EPS: The Company recorded net income of $6.2 million, or $0.08 per basic and $(0.05) diluted share, in the second quarter 2022 compared to a net loss of $10.7 million, or $0.15 per basic/diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022. The sequential improvement is primarily due to the change in fair value of contingent convertible notes payable of $17.2 million.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2022 was negative $7.2 million, a 33% decline compared to negative $5.4 million in the first quarter 2022.
- In the first quarter 2022, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement with ProFrac Services, LLC (ProFrac), to provide full downhole chemistry solutions for the greater of 33% of ProFrac's crews or 10 crews minimum for three years. In the second quarter, the Company entered into an amended agreement with ProFrac to expand the Agreement to a term of 10 years and 70% of ProFrac's frac fleet or 30 hydraulic fracturing fleets, whichever is greater. The expansion was overwhelmingly approved by shareholders on May 9, 2022. Combined, the contracts are expected to exceed $2 billion in revenue over the next decade. Additional details can be found in the Company's SEC and 10-Q filings.
- As of June 30, 2022, the Company reported cash and equivalents of $33.1 million compared to $24.9 million at the end of the first quarter 2022, benefitted by the Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) transactions with ProFrac, which were disclosed previously.
- On June 17, 2022, Flotek entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with ProFrac. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company will receive $19,500,000 in cash and ProFrac will receive pre-funded warrants permitting ProFrac to purchase 13,104,839 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to $0.0001 per share, representing a 20% premium to the 30-day volume average price of the Company's common stock at the close of business on the day prior to the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement. ProFrac may not receive any voting or consent rights in respect of the Prefunded Warrants or the underlying shares unless and until the Company has obtained approval from a majority of its shareholders excluding ProFrac and its affiliates, and ProFrac has paid an additional $4,500,000 to the Company.
- On April 18, 2022, the Company closed on a contract to sell the Waller, TX facility for $4.3 million. The proceeds are included in our second quarter 2022 results. In addition, the Company is currently entertaining an offer to sell the Monahans,TX facility and we expect to be able to close that sale in the coming quarters. The Monahans facility remained classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2022.
Flotek will host a conference call on August 10, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. CST (10:00 a.m. EST) to discuss its second quarter results for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Participants may access the call through Flotek's website at www.flotekind.com under "Webcasts'' or by telephone at 1-844-835-9986 approximately five minutes prior to the start of the call. Following the conclusion of the conference call, a recording of the call will be available on the Company's website.

NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil both homered and drove in two runs, leading Carlos Carrasco and the streaking New York Mets past the Cincinnati Reds 6-2 on Tuesday night.
Carrasco (13-4) pitched into the seventh inning and struck out nine to win his fifth straight decision and tie for the National League lead in wins.
Lindor became the first Mets shortstop with multiple 20-homer seasons when he opened the scoring with a two-run shot in the third. He has scored at least one run in 12 straight games, the longest streak of his career and tied with Mookie Betts for the longest in the majors this season.
McNeil led off the fourth with a homer and added an RBI single in the sixth, extending his hitting streak to 12 games.
Darin Ruf laced a two-run single in the seventh for the Mets, who have won 14 of 16. They began the day with a seven-game lead in the NL East over Atlanta.
The first pitch was delayed 51 minutes due to torrential rains. The temperature at game time was 86 degrees, down about 10 degrees from earlier in the day.
Carrasco allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk. He carried a three-hit shutout into the seventh, when Jake Fraley hit a two-run homer and Austin Romine and Jonathan India chased the 35-year-old right-hander with consecutive two-out singles.
Mychal Givens struck out Nick Senzel to end the inning. Trevor May wriggled out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth before Seth Lugo threw a perfect ninth.
Mike Minor (1-9) lost his sixth consecutive decision after allowing four runs on five hits with three walks in 5 1/3 innings. He threw 110 pitches, his most since 126 for Texas on Sept. 26, 2019.
Cincinnati is assured of losing a series for the first time since the All-Star break.
FAMILY REUNION
Mets closer Edwin Díaz and his younger brother, Cincinnati Reds rookie reliever Alexis Díaz, exchanged the lineup cards at home plate before the game.
With several family members watching and wearing split Mets/Reds shirts picturing both brothers for the second straight night, Edwin and Alexis shook hands with the umpires and posed for a photo before hugging one another.
“It’s unbelievable,” their father, Edwin, said during the second inning. “Kids started playing at 5 years old, 6 years old. Their dream came true.”
It was the second time this season the Díaz brothers exchanged lineup cards at home plate. They also did it before the series opener between the teams in Cincinnati on July 4.
OUCH!
Plate umpire Pat Hoberg was hit near his throat by the shard of Kyle Farmer’s broken bat on an eighth-inning single. Hoberg completed the game following a brief visit from a Mets trainer.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Reds: INF/DH Mike Moustakas (left calf strain) was placed on the 10-day injured list after he got hurt legging out a single Monday night. It’s the fifth IL stint of the year for Moustakas, who was sidelined with a right biceps injury in April and was on the COVID-19 injured list three times thereafter. In a corresponding transaction, the Reds recalled Alejo Lopez from the minors. … India returned after exiting Monday’s game due to a right hamstring injury. … Farmer batted third and started at third base after being a late scratch from Monday’s lineup because of a stiff neck.
Mets: 1B/DH Dominic Smith (right ankle) went 1 for 4 in his fourth rehab game for Triple-A Syracuse. … RHP Tylor Megill (right shoulder) has increased his throwing program. The Mets plan for Megill, who isn’t eligible to return until Aug. 17, to be utilized out of the bullpen down the stretch. … RHP Tommy Hunter (lower back) is nearing a rehab assignment.
UP NEXT
Reds: Bell said the club would announce the starter for Wednesday afternoon’s series finale following Tuesday’s game.
Mets: RHP Taijuan Walker (9-3, 3.45 ERA) got just three outs last Friday while allowing eight runs against the Braves — two fewer runs than he permitted in five July starts.

The FBI searched Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate as part of an investigation into whether he took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence, people familiar with the matter said Monday, a move that represents a dramatic and unprecedented escalation of law enforcement scrutiny of the former president.
Mr. Trump, disclosing the search in a lengthy statement, asserted that agents had opened up a safe at his home and described their work as an “unannounced raid” that he likened to “prosecutorial misconduct.”
The search intensifies the months-long probe into how classified documents ended up in boxes of White House records located at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year. It occurs amid a separate grand jury investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and adds to the potential legal peril for Mr. Trump as he lays the groundwork for another run.
Familiar battle lines, forged during a four-year presidency shadowed by FBI and congressional investigations, quickly took shape again Monday night. Mr. Trump and his allies sought to cast the search as a weaponization of the criminal justice system and a Democratic-driven effort to keep him from winning another term in 2024 – even though the Biden White House said it had no prior knowledge of it, and the current FBI director, Christopher Wray, was appointed by Mr. Trump five years ago and served as a high-ranking official in a Republican-led Justice Department.
“These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Mr. Trump wrote. “Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.”
“After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Mr. Trump said in his statement.
Justice Department spokesperson Dena Iverson declined to comment on the search, including whether Attorney General Merrick Garland had personally authorized it.
Mr. Trump did not elaborate on the basis for the search, but the Justice Department has been investigating the potential mishandling of classified information after the National Archives and Records Administration said it had received from Mar-a-Lago 15 boxes of White House records, including documents containing classified information, earlier this year. The National Archives said Mr. Trump should have turned over that material upon leaving office, and it asked the Justice Department to investigate.
There are multiple federal laws governing the handling of classified records and sensitive government documents, including statutes that make it a crime to remove such material and retain it at an unauthorized location. Though a search warrant does not suggest that criminal charges are near or even expected, federal officials looking to obtain one must first demonstrate to a judge that they have probable cause that a crime occurred.
Two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said the search happened earlier Monday and was related to the records probe. Agents were also looking to see if Mr. Trump had additional presidential records or any classified documents at the estate.
Mr. Trump has previously maintained that presidential records were turned over “in an ordinary and routine process.” His son Eric Trump said on Fox News on Monday night that he had spent the day with his father and that the search happened because “the National Archives wanted to corroborate whether or not Donald Trump had any documents in his possession.”
Asked how the documents ended up at Mar-a-Lago, Eric Trump said the boxes were among items that got moved out of the White House during “six hours” on Inauguration Day, as the Bidens prepared to move into the building.
“My father always kept press clippings,” Eric Trump said. “He had boxes when he moved out of the White House.”
Mr. Trump emerged from Trump Tower in New York City shortly before 8 p.m. and waved to bystanders before being driven away in an SUV.
In his first public remarks since news of the search surfaced, Mr. Trump made no mention of it during a tele-town hall on behalf of Leora Levy, the Connecticut Republican he has endorsed in Tuesday’s U.S. Senate primary to pick a general election opponent against Democratic U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal. Mr. Trump gave his public backing to Ms. Levy late last week, calling her on Monday the best pick “to replace Connecticut’s joke of a senator.”
But in a social media post Monday night, he was much more unguarded, calling the search a “weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024.”
Other Republicans echoed that message. GOP National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel denounced the search as “outrageous” and said it was a reason for voters to turn out in November.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican who is considered a potential 2024 presidential candidate, said in a statement on Twitter that it was “an escalation in the weaponization” of U.S. government agencies. Kevin McCarthy, the House Minority Leader, said in a tweet that the Justice Department “has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization” and said that if Republicans win control of the U.S. House, they will investigate the department.
That Mr. Trump would become entangled in a probe into the handling of classified information is all the more striking given how he tried during the 2016 presidential election to exploit an FBI investigation into his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, over whether she mishandled classified information via a private email server she used as secretary of state. Then-FBI Director James Comey concluded that Ms. Clinton had sent and received classified information but the FBI did not recommend criminal charges because it determined that Ms. Clinton had not intended to break the law.
Mr. Trump lambasted that decision and then stepped up his criticism of the FBI as agents began investigating whether his campaign had colluded with Russia to tip the 2016 election. He fired Mr. Comey during that probe, and though he appointed Mr. Wray months later, he repeatedly criticized him too as president.
Thomas Schwartz, a Vanderbilt University history professor who studies and writes about the presidency, said there is no precedent for a former president facing an FBI raid – even going back to Watergate. President Richard Nixon wasn’t allowed to take tapes or other materials from the White House when he resigned in 1974, Mr. Schwartz noted, and many of his papers remained in Washington for years before being transferred to his presidential library in California.
“This is different and it is a sign of how unique the Trump period was,” said Mr. Schwartz, author of “Henry Kissinger and American Power: A Political Biography.” “How his behavior was so unusual.”
The probe is hardly the only legal headache confronting Mr. Trump. A separate investigation related to efforts by Mr. Trump and his allies to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election – which led to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol – has also been intensifying in Washington. Several former White House officials have received grand jury subpoenas.
And a district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, is investigating whether Mr. Trump and his close associates sought to interfere in that state’s election, which was won by Democrat Joe Biden.

Two ways to read the story
At her old food stall, Dial Muktieh doled out mainland Indian snacks like samosas. But nowadays, she’s gaining popularity for serving up more local fare, like native rice with tham, a condiment made with crabs from nearby rice paddies and prickly ash from the back garden.
Hers is one of several Mei-Ramew cafes – or “Mother Earth” cafes in the local Khasi language – helping break the stigma around Indigenous cuisine in Meghalaya, where demographic shifts and tourism have made communities more reliant on commercially produced food in recent years.
Why We Wrote This
In northeast India, “Mother Earth” cafes are helping revive Meghalaya’s Indigenous cuisine. They’re part of a statewide movement aiming to not only safeguard Indigenous knowledge and native plant life, but also boost food security and nutrition in the region.
The cafes are part of a broader movement to restore traditional foodways throughout the state by encouraging businesses to utilize ancestral farming and foraging techniques. Advocates have also helped communities establish seed banks to protect the region’s biodiversity.
With a quarter of the world’s undernourished people living in India, experts say localizing foodways can help safeguard communities from economic and environmental disasters.
Senior agriculturist Redian Syiem explains that while city-dwellers found it difficult to access fresh foods during the pandemic, villagers in her area had more options.
“When you can find everything to eat from your backyard, the paddy fields, these water streams, and the forest, there’s no need to buy food at the market,” she says.
It’s 2 in the afternoon and Dial Muktieh is rustling up a feast for her customers. River fish cooks in a bamboo hollow as charred skies bring scattered rains outside. A mother digs into a plate of native rice with tham – a condiment prepared with crabs found in the rice paddies, fermented fish, and prickly ash from the back garden – while a farmer rests on a low bench and sips a cup of tea with ja shulia, sticky rice cooked in a bottle gourd and served wrapped in a green leaf.
Welcome to Mei-Ramew Cafe.
Here, in a small village in India’s northeastern state of Meghalaya, Kong Dial – as she’s respectfully known among her customers and community, with kong meaning “sister” in the local Khasi language – serves the native food of the Bhoi people, a subgroup of the Indigenous Khasi people, the state’s largest community.
Why We Wrote This
In northeast India, “Mother Earth” cafes are helping revive Meghalaya’s Indigenous cuisine. They’re part of a statewide movement aiming to not only safeguard Indigenous knowledge and native plant life, but also boost food security and nutrition in the region.
Kong Dial and her cafe are part of a statewide movement to revive Indigenous foodways throughout Meghalaya. Advocates encourage businesses to use local, seasonal, and wild-grown ingredients, and tap into ancestral farming and foraging techniques. It also involves protecting Meghalaya’s rich biodiversity through seed banks, and families growing near-extinct plants in their backyards.
Safeguarding Indigenous knowledge and native plant life may be reason enough to rethink dinner, but experts also say localizing foodways can boost food security and nutrition. While people in cities found it difficult to access fresh foods during the pandemic, villagers in Khweng faced fewer issues, as they could rely in part on their environment, explains senior agriculturist Redian Syiem.
“Tell me, what do you want to become? Do you want to be rich? Have so much money but no access to food when there’s a crisis like COVID-19?” Kong Redian asks. “Or do you want to have enough food to sustain yourself?”
To her, preserving native biodiversity is a matter of self-sufficiency.
“When you can find everything to eat from your backyard, the paddy fields, these water streams, and the forest, there’s no need to buy food at the market,” Kong Redian says, sitting beside a tray of cultivated and wild-grown greens inside Kong Dial’s cafe.
Losing local taste
An influx of business and tourism from other states has pushed Meghalaya restaurants to cater to mainland Indian palates, and over time, experts say those influences have crept into local homes as well. When people cooked white rice, dal, and market-bought vegetables, they forgot the native ingredients that once defined Meghalaya cuisine.
“Meghalaya is home to several Indigenous groups, but we now cook food like those from the metro cities in India,” says Rundolf Mawlieh, content consultant at the North East Slow Food and Agrobiodiversity Society (NESFAS), a nonprofit promoting environmentally friendly local food traditions and agricultural biodiversity.
“For example, we made palak paneer yesterday,” says Mr. Mawlieh, chuckling. “We also grew up watching MTV, so there’s a huge influence of Western culture. If we go to a restaurant, we would order a burger.”
This dependency on commercially produced foods not only has a high carbon footprint, but also makes communities vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition. The World Food Program has declared 2022 the “year of unprecedented hunger,” as a combination of COVID-19, climate change, and rising food costs has pushed “828 million people to go to bed hungry every day.”
A quarter of the world’s undernourished people live in India, where rural food prices have doubled this past year.
Turning to traditional foodways can improve diets and help protect communities from economic and environmental disasters.
“Traditional and diversified food systems are more resilient to changing climate compared to vulnerable monoculture farming we use today,” says transdisciplinary food system researcher Lukas Pawera, whose 2021 research found that only about a third of tribal women in Meghalaya consumed a diverse diet despite the region’s rich food resources.
Mother Earth
In Khweng alone, NESFAS has documented 319 edible plant varieties, but researchers rarely saw people eating them. “There was a strong notion that wild greens were poor man’s food,” says Janak Preet Singh, senior associate of livelihood initiatives at NESFAS.
So NESFAS came up with the idea of Mei-Ramew (or “Mother Earth”) cafes, which would help preserve “age-old foraging knowledge” and “encourage entrepreneurship” while breaking stigmas around local food, Mr. Singh says.
When they pitched it to local food vendors nearly 10 years ago, Plantina Kharmujai was the only person who agreed to rework her menu with the Indigenous recipes she learned from her grandmother.
Kong Plantina established the state’s first Mei-Ramew cafe in 2013 with the guidance of NESFAS. Since then, she’s trained other cooks including Kong Dial, who opened her cafe opposite Kong Plantina’s in 2019.
There are now three Mei-Ramew cafes in Meghalaya supported by NESFAS, and several other independent eateries promoting native cuisines scattered across the state.
No longer “poor man’s food”
Mei-Ramew cafe owners say word-of-mouth and recent media exposure has helped their popularity grow. For some customers, this is their first time trying Indigenous cuisine, but for others, it’s the taste of home.
Sagar W. Pakyntein describes it as “the food of my grandparents.” Whenever he’s free, the police subinspector drives over 10 miles to visit the Mei-Ramew cafes in Khweng.
“When I want to eat out, I don’t go to a pizza joint in the city,” Mr. Pakyntein says, digging into khaw lakang, local rice cooked in a bamboo tube with kharang, smoked fish. “I come here with my 3-year-old son. It’s important we teach our younger generations about our own food so that we can preserve this knowledge.”
At her previous stall, Kong Dial prepared mainland Indian snacks like samosa, but she’s garnered more attention for her traditional dishes at the Mei-Ramew Cafe. Customers “loved my Bhoi food and encouraged me to do more,” Kong Dial says.
“This shows the mindset change. She’s changing the image people have about eating local, foraged food,” says Mr. Mawlieh, from NESFAS.
There’s also room for innovation. Kong Plantina is using her ancestral knowledge to come up with new, fun recipes like ruby-pink popsicles made with the extract of roselle flowers she grows in the backyard.
But the movement goes beyond the Mei-Ramew cafes.
NESFAS also conducts farmers markets where people can buy local produce and support cultivators. Seed banks have been set up to ensure native plants survive and thrive, and local entrepreneurs like Gerald Duia, founder of Duia Trailblazers, conduct eco-tours where tourists can experience how tribal communities eat.
“No matter how modern we are, we all need food to survive, and food comes from the earth,” says Mr. Duia. “It’s important to know what we can eat and what nutritional value they have. We need to keep learning and pass our knowledge on to the next generations.” | https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-South-Central/2022/0809/Foraged-feasts-India-s-Mother-Earth-cafes-promote-resilient-foodways | 2022-08-10T04:17:27Z | https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-South-Central/2022/0809/Foraged-feasts-India-s-Mother-Earth-cafes-promote-resilient-foodways | true |

The last five years has been a good time for Midland ISD volleyball and the 2022 Legacy and Midland High teams hope to build on that success this season.
Teams will be gunning for the Lady Rebels after they accomplished a rare feat by winning District 2-6A with a perfect 12-0 record last season.
Legacy, which finished 31-11 overall, lost a strong core of seniors to graduation, including District 2-6A MVP Loredana Fouonji, who is now playing at Division II St. Martin’s University.
The Lady Rebels will look to reach the postseason for the sixth straight year with a returning group that is led by senior outside hitter/setter Kendall Harrington, senior outside hitter/middle blocker Jordyn Tarter, junior libero Marisa Calzada and senior right side/defensive specialist Kylee Radwanski.
“Luckily for us, these girls knew coming in that they had big shoes to fill, and they put in the work this summer,” LHS head coach Rachel Anglin said. “Ever since we played our last game in October, they went to work. One of them even said, ‘How am I going to be Loredana?’ I said, ‘You don’t need to be Loredana. You need to be yourself because that’s what we are going to use.’”
The Lady Bulldogs also lost a special player with the graduation of Aniya Clinton, who is now a freshman outside hitter at Kansas State.
MHS, which reached the postseason for the 14th straight season last year at 19-17 overall, returns seven players from last year’s team.
With Clinton gone, the Lady Bulldogs will rely on a group of hitters that includes junior middle blocker Brooke Boehler, junior outside hitter Desarae Johnson, senior Monserrath Perez, junior Natalie Azarov, senior right side Grace Ware, junior right side Kaylee Day and sophomore right side Ava Wilson.
“Aniya can definitely put down a ball,” MHS head coach Bethany Johnstone said. “I don’t know any team that is going to miss that. I’m excited because this gives other players an opportunity to step up. Someone is going to have to. I’m excited to see who it’s going to be, that’s what is exciting for me this year.
“We have some heavy hitters. They’re excited to get more swings on the ball. A lot of the times we gave it to Aniya a lot. That’s what we needed to do; she can put it down. But this is an opportunity for our setters to use everybody in the front row.”
One of the Lady Bulldogs’ leaders is senior libero/defensive specialist Samantha Bustos, who was a District 2-6A first team selection last year after starting the season on the junior varsity team.
Johnstone lauds her ability to communicate with her teammates, read the ball and her aggressiveness when it comes to digging.
“We’re not the tallest,” Bustos said of the 2022 Lady Bulldogs. “We maybe have two or three girls that are over (5-foot-8). Even though we’re short, we can still put the ball down. We don’t ever give up. You can be ahead of us, and we aren’t going to lay down and die. We’re going to make you fight for what you want.”
Over at Rebel Gymnasium, Anglin says LHS will get a boost from the additions of junior middle blocker Sarah Philley, defensive specialist Kyndall Torres and sophomore setter Caitlin Beckham.
LHS is spearheaded by Harrington, who is one of the most skilled players in the district, as she can contribute in all phases as a hitter, setter and passer. Anglin says Harrington wears many hats and handles it gracefully.
Harrington, a recent Mary Hardin-Baylor commit, says the 2022 Lady Rebels have a group of players that are driven and passionate about volleyball.
“I’m just ready to make the most of it,” Harrington said. “I have big goals in mind. We’re definitely a driven team and we’re excited to see what happens.
“I’m really excited about this new group. We’re ready to go. We’re ready to work. Whether it is without the seniors (from last year), I think we’re just ready.”

Gov. Kate Brown appoints 2 local civil attorneys to Lane County Circuit Court
Two women will join the bench in Lane County to replace retiring circuit court judges.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced Tuesday that she would appoint Michelle Bassi and Beatrice Grace to the Lane County Circuit Court.
Bassi will fill the Position 2 vacancy created by Judge Charles Carlson's retirement, and Grace will fill the Position 11 vacancy created by Judge Lauren Holland's retirement. The two judges retired effective June 30, and Brown started accepting applications for their replacements in May.
Both appointments are effective immediately, according to a news release from the Governor's Office.
Bassi and Grace have "impeccable qualifications" matching the needs of the circuit court, Brown said in the release.
"For years, both women have served their community with compassion and integrity, helping individuals navigate challenging circumstances," Brown said. "I have no doubt that Michelle and Beatrice will hit the ground running, ensuring that our justice system continues to serve people with fairness and equity."
Bassi has been a civil litigator at Springfield-based firm Thorp, Purdy, Jewett, Urness & Wilkinson since 2013 and a partner since 2018. Her practice focuses primarily on complex civil litigation and she also represented defendants in misdemeanor cases until 2019.
Before joining her current firm, she clerked for the Honorable Douglas Mitchell and the Honorable Jodie Mooney of the Lane County Circuit Court. She also served as a public defender for the Umpqua Valley Public Defender in Roseburg.
Grace was an emergency room nurse for more than 20 years before switching careers, and she currently represents plaintiffs in personal injury and medical malpractice cases. She clerked for U.S. Magistrate Judge Mustafa Kasubhai when he was on the Lane County bench and helped him establish his chambers after he was appointed to the federal court.
The positions are elected, and both seats are on the ballot in November.
One person has filed so far, according to the Oregon Secretary of State's database. State Rep. Marty Wilde, a Democrat from Eugene, is running for Position 11 after announcing he wouldn't run for reelection to his seat in the Oregon House of Representatives.

If Kendall Jenner's recent Instagram posts are any indication, we're about to see a major influx of cowboy-inspired style all over our social media feeds. Jenner's recent trip to Wyoming was punctuated by her getting a tiny cowboy boot tattooed on her ankle and pairing a denim skirt with a "J'adore Cowboys" tank, indicating that the Western aesthetic is becoming one of the biggest trends for fall.
One of the major staples of cowboy-inspired style is the cowboy boot. This trend has been around since the late 1800s when seen on ranch hands and horse riders and became increasingly popular in the 1980s after Ralph Lauren showed the style on runways. Princess Diana even had a penchant for wearing cowboy boots, famously pairing them with sweatpants and an oversized blazer. Recently, we've seen them styled with everything from mini skirts to denim shorts to midi dresses, adding an element of vintage Americana style to virtually any outfit.
This season, the versatile boot is back along with other Western-inspired apparel and accessories—we're talking cowboy hats, belts, and denim staples from jeans to jackets. Paired all together, they can look a bit costume-y, so we'd recommend styling just one or two Western elements with other items in your closet, such as a slip dress or simple tee shirt. We also love seeing cowboy boots styled with colorful mini skirts or bootcut jeans with metallic crop tops for an unexpected juxtaposition.
If you're dying to get in on the cowgirl trend, we've rounded up ten of our favorite Western-inspired pieces available to purchase on Amazon. From classic Levi's to sun hats to an East Coast take on cowboy boots, here's everything you need to build a wardrobe inspired by the wild, wild west.

Court reverses ruling in case of Phoenix police sergeant's anti-Muslim Facebook posts
A U.S. Court of Appeals ruled Friday to reverse the dismissal of a lawsuit from Sgt. Juan Hernandez, a Phoenix police officer, who said the Phoenix Police Department violated his First Amendment right to freedom of speech for attempting to discipline him for anti-Muslim Facebook posts he shared in 2013 and 2014.
The lawsuit, filed against the Phoenix Police Department in October 2019, was dismissed by the U.S. District Court in Arizona in May 2021, but Hernandez appealed the ruling in November 2021, according to court documents.
The Court of Appeals reversed the U.S. District Court’s dismissal of Hernandez’s First Amendment violation claims and returned the case to the lower court. That means now Hernandez’s claim can be argued in U.S. District Court.
“Although it seemed likely that Hernandez’s posts could impede the performance of his job duties and interfere with the Department’s ability to effectively carry out its mission, no evidence of actual or potential disruptive impact caused by Hernandez’s posts was properly before the panel at this stage of the proceedings,” Judge Paul J. Waterford of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in the court opinion.
Hernandez had also argued the Phoenix Police Department’s social media policies were “overbroad and vague,” but the Court of Appeals upheld the District Court’s dismissal of that claim.
The executive director for the Arizona branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Azza Abuseif, responded to the court ruling, saying in a statement that the Facebook content the officer shared "draws into question his ability to treat members of the Muslim community fairly in accordance with the law.”
“Officers who hold such views threaten the work of their departments, and we expect that the Ninth Circuit will recognize the department’s legitimate interest in ensuring that anti-Muslim bigotry is removed from its ranks,” Abuseif said.
Hernandez’s posts, which were all shared in the early and mid-2010s, included multiple memes and news articles that he posted off-duty on his personal Facebook page and that were disparaging toward the Islamic faith.
The posts were brought to light again in 2019 after the Plain View Project, which has created a database of social media posts from police officers across the country, shared a collection of posts made by officers at the Phoenix Police Department that “reflected bias against racial or religious minorities or contained content that would be offensive to members of such groups,” Waterford wrote in the opinion.
“This is such a dangerous Islamphobic rhetoric,” Abuseif said in a text message to The Arizona Republic. “Those of us from marginalized communities know just how deeply hate and disinformation results in the violence our communities face.”
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals remanded the case, meaning as of now it has been sent back to be argued in the U.S. District Court.

Michels wins Wisconsin GOP governor primary, will face Evers
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Tim Michels, a wealthy businessman endorsed by former President Donald Trump, won the Republican primary for Wisconsin governor on Tuesday and will face Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in a contest that could reshape elections in the marquee battleground.
Michels defeated former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, who was endorsed by former Vice President Mike Pence and had backing from establishment Republicans, including ex-Gov. Scott Walker.
In his victory speech, Michels said the race will be about “standing up for the hardworking people of Wisconsin. They have been left behind by the Democratic Party that just wants to focus on the social issues.” He promised to focus on jobs and the economy.
Evers’ campaign called Michels “the most extreme and divisive nominee possible, one that will tell Donald Trump anything just to keep his endorsement.
Both Michels and Kleefisch falsely claimed the 2020 presidential election was rigged, a lie Trump has pushed in an effort to overturn his loss to Joe Biden. Michels said decertifying the results of the 2020 contest was not a priority but said “everything will be on the table.” He supports other changes to voting and elections, including dismantling the bipartisan commission that runs Wisconsin elections.
The governor’s race was the latest proxy war between Trump and Pence, one-time partners who have backed opposing candidates in other swing states as they try to push the GOP in different directions.
The primary comes a day after FBI agents searched Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate as part of an investigation into whether he took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
In the Democratic Senate primary, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes won the nomination to face Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, one of Trump’s most vocal supporters, after Barnes’ top rivals dropped out of the race late last month. The matchup is among the last to be set before the November general election, when control of the currently 50-50 split Senate is up for grabs, and Democrats see Wisconsin as one of their best opportunities to flip a seat.
Wisconsin’s most powerful Republican, state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, held off a Trump-backed challenger. Trump endorsed Adam Steen after Vos rejected the former president’s pressure to decertify the 2020 results. Vos said his victory showed “you don’t have to be a lapdog to whatever Donald Trump says.”
Tuesday’s outcomes have far-reaching consequences beyond Wisconsin, a state that is almost evenly split between Republicans and Democrats and where 2022 will be seen as a bellwether for the 2024 presidential race. The person elected governor this fall will be in office for the presidential election and will be able to sign or veto changes to election laws passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature. The next governor and U.S. senator also may sway decisions on issues from abortion to education and taxes.
“We’re a 50-50 state and so every race in Wisconsin, just by definition, is going to be decided by a few percentage points one way or another,” said former Gov. Jim Doyle, a Democrat. “And those few percentage points in Wisconsin may well determine what the course of the nation is in the coming years.”
Elsewhere Tuesday, a Trump-backed candidate won the GOP primary for Senate in Connecticut, a state that’s long been home to the Republican establishment. Republican National Committee member Leora Levy, whom Trump endorsed last week, will face two-term Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal after she defeated former state House Minority Leader Themis Klarides, who had support from the state party. Voters in Vermont — the only state to never have a woman in its congressional delegation — chose a woman, Becca Balint, as the Democratic nominee for the state’s lone House seat. She is favored in the race to replace Rep. Peter Welch, who won the Democratic nomination for the Senate seat long held by Patrick Leahy, who is retiring. And Minnesota Republicans chose Dr. Scott Jensen, a COVID-19 vaccine skeptic endorsed by the state GOP, to face Gov. Tim Walz.
But the most-watched races were in Wisconsin, where Trump has kept up his pressure campaign to cancel President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory. Biden won by nearly 21,000 votes, four years after Trump also narrowly won the state by roughly the same margin. The 2020 outcome has been upheld in two partial recounts, a nonpartisan audit, a review by a conservative law firm and multiple lawsuits.
Evers has made voting and elections a focus of his own campaign, telling voters he’s the only candidate who will defend democracy and “we are that close to not having our vote count in the state of Wisconsin.”
Both Michels and Kleefisch said overturning the 2020 election results was not a priority. But they said they would dismantle the bipartisan commission that runs Wisconsin elections and would support prohibitions on voters having someone else turn in their absentee ballots, as well as ballot drop boxes located anywhere other than staffed clerk offices.
Michels is co-owner of Wisconsin’s largest construction company and has touted his work to build his family’s business. He lost the 2004 Senate race to Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold, and has been a major donor to GOP politicians.
At a rally on Friday, Trump praised Michels as an “incredible success story.” He criticized Kleefisch as part of the “failed establishment” and also took aim at Vos. He told supporters that Michels was the better choice to defeat Evers.
Michels pledged that “we are going to have election integrity here in Wisconsin.” He also said he will bring “law and order” back to Wisconsin, criticized Evers’ handling of schools and blamed Biden for rising prices.
GOP state Rep. Tim Ramthun also made a long-shot bid for governor.
In her concession speech, Kleefisch said, “The fight now is truly against Tony Evers and the liberals who want to take away our way of life.”
Barnes, in his victory speech in Milwaukee, emphasized his middle-class background and upbringing while casting Johnson as “self-serving” and “an out-of-touch politician” who cares only about special interests and wealthy donors.
“It is time for a change, everybody,” said Barnes, who would be Wisconsin’s first Black senator if elected. “It’s time for us to be represented by somebody who shares our experiences.”
Johnson called Barnes the “most radical left candidate” Democrats could have chosen.
“This is a contest between radical left socialism versus freedom and prosperity,” he said.

LOS ANGELES – Kobe Bryant was one of the most photogenic sports figures in Los Angeles and images of him seen by millions around the world — smiling in victory, grimacing in agony — keep his memory alive.
But some photos of him should never be seen, his widow says, and she's seeking unspecified millions in compensation for snapshots taken of the NBA star’s corpse that were circulated after he was killed in a helicopter crash with their daughter and seven others in 2020.
Vanessa Bryant's invasion of privacy trial against the Los Angeles County sheriff's and fire departments begins Wednesday in a U.S. District Court just over a mile from where Kobe Bryant played most of his career with the Lakers.
Vanessa Bryant claims deputies did not take the photos for investigative purposes and shared them with firefighters who responded to the crash scene. The lawsuit said a deputy showed the photos to bar patrons and a firefighter showed them off-duty colleagues.
“Mrs. Bryant feels ill at the thought that sheriff’s deputies, firefighters, and members of the public have gawked at gratuitous images of her deceased husband and child," according to the lawsuit. "She lives in fear that she or her children will one day confront horrific images of their loved ones online.”
Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and other parents and players were flying to a girls basketball tournament when their chartered helicopter crashed in the Calabasas hills west of Los Angeles in fog. Federal safety officials blamed pilot error for the wreck.
Vanessa Bryant has also sued the helicopter charter company and the deceased pilot’s estate.
The county has argued that Bryant has suffered emotional distress from the deaths, not the photos, which were ordered deleted by Sheriff Alex Villanueva. They said the photos have never been in the media, on the internet or otherwise publicly disseminated and that the lawsuit is speculative about harm she may suffer.
A law prompted by the crash makes it a crime for first responders to take unauthorized photos of deceased people at the scene of an accident or crime.
The county already agreed to pay $2.5 million to settle a similar case brought by two families whose relatives died in the Jan. 26, 2020, crash.
Vanessa Bryant did not settle her case, indicating she's seeking more.
The litigation has at times been ugly.
When the county sought a psychiatric evaluation of Bryant to determine if she suffered emotional distress because of the photos, her lawyers criticized the “scorched-earth discovery tactics” to bully her and other family members of victims to abandon their lawsuits.
The county responded by saying they were sympathetic to Bryant's losses and dismissed her case as a “money grab.” | https://www.clickorlando.com/sports/2022/08/10/kobe-bryant-crash-photos-lawsuit-to-be-heard-by-la-jury/ | 2022-08-10T04:38:50Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/sports/2022/08/10/kobe-bryant-crash-photos-lawsuit-to-be-heard-by-la-jury/ | true |

BEIJING, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This is an opinion piece by Ong Tee Keat, Chairman of the Center for New Inclusive Asia, Malaysia, for Beijing Review:
Chinese President Xi Jinping's Global Security Initiative (GSI) is no doubt a timely call that provides the world with an alternative to the escalating geopolitical tension.
The initiative evolved from President Xi's proposal at the Fourth Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia in Shanghai in 2014 and calls for a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security model. It was first directed at Asia, but now is becoming increasingly relevant globally.
The GSI raises the principle of indivisible security. It seeks to forbid any country from strengthening its own security at the expense of others, echoing a 1999 charter signed by members of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which includes the United States and Canada.
Be that as it may, in reality, no single charter could ever make an effective deterrent to military conflicts if only the narrow unilateral gains of a nation were to be pursued. Legitimate security concerns of all conflicting nations involved have to be addressed even-handedly to minimize differences, if full-blown conflicts are to be averted.
While acknowledging the current global vulnerability to military conflicts, it is not too far-fetched to envision that risks of potential military clashes could be minimized considerably if economic dividends could be reaped jointly through the promotion of development, notably through the connectivity of trans-border development where economic interests of neighboring countries in the region are all set to intertwine.
In this context, the GSI should not be read and interpreted in isolation. Much less should it be deemed a spontaneous response to any specific existing security pacts. It must be read in conjunction with such preceding proposals of China as the Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to boost connectivity along and beyond the ancient Silk Road routes, the ideal of building a community with a shared future for humanity and the Global Development Initiative. In short, it is part of the holistic strategy China offers to the international community in its bid as a responsible rising power to make the world a safer home for humanity, one that is more inclusive and sustainable.
This by itself is a timely and relevant public good that warrants global attention and common sense across the political spectrum. Amid the growing existential threats compounded with the increasing vulnerability to military clashes, any hegemonic moves to maintain one's geopolitical primacy at the expense of global peace and solidarity are nothing but myopic and despicable moves that deserve global disdain.

China's landmark #MeToo case returns to court after setback
Issued on: Modified:
Beijing (AFP) – A landmark sexual harassment case in China was set to return to court Wednesday after an earlier ruling dealt a blow to the country's fledgling #MeToo movement.
Zhou Xiaoxuan stepped forward in 2018 to accuse state TV host Zhu Jun of forcibly kissing and groping her during her 2014 internship at the broadcaster.
While the case of Zhou, now 29, inspired many others to share their experiences of sexual assault publicly and sparked a social media storm, a court ruled last year there was insufficient evidence to back her allegation.
Zhou appealed, and is scheduled to appear in court for another hearing at 2 pm (0600 GMT) Wednesday in Beijing.
"I still feel a little scared and dejected now," she told AFP ahead of the hearing.
"The process of the first trial was a deep secondary injury."
She told AFP her legal team will focus on getting access to more evidence such as the police transcripts of interviews with her parents after she reported the incident -- which were not included in the earlier trial.
They are also requesting access to surveillance video footage.
Zhou said that Zhu was absent from earlier proceedings, and that while he had sued her for defamation, she was not aware of further developments in that case.
'Too difficult'
Zhou, also known by the pseudonym Xianzi, originally sued for a public apology from Zhu and 50,000 yuan ($7,400) in damages.
Her first hearing in December 2020 drew a large crowd and a significant police presence in Beijing.
Reporters from foreign media outlets including AFP were dragged away by police while filming the scene.
"The process for my case has truly been too difficult," Zhou said.
"I worry that other victims fear standing up for their rights after seeing what I've experienced."
Her case against Zhu was originally filed under the "personality rights" law -- covering rights relating to an individual's health and body.
But her lawyers later asked for it to be considered under a new sexual harassment law that was passed in 2020.
Despite that law, many women in China are still reluctant to come forward with harassment charges, and it is rare for cases to make it to court in a legal system that places a heavy burden on the claimant.
The country's #MeToo movement has stumbled since 2018, when a wave of women published allegations of sexual harassment against university professors.
Threatened at the time by the prospect of an uncontrolled mass movement, internet censors quickly began blocking social media hashtags and keywords, with members of the public often turning to homonyms.

For this mother of two young, world-class whiners, the techniques described in the booklet seemed way too simple to be effective, the promised results too good to be true. In desperation, however, I decided to give the anti-whining program -- guaranteed to be appropriate for toddlers and up -- my best shot by following the simple daily instructions.
Day 1
Whenever a boy whined, I got down to his level, looked him straight in the eye and said in a firm yet gentle voice, "Stop whining! I cannot listen to you when you whine because it gives me a headache."
Next, I imitated what he said and how he said it, right down to his nasally, high-pitched, singsong tone. Last, I restated what he had said in a grown-up voice, leaving out the complaining and blaming, and required him to repeat it to me in his normal voice.
Recommended for you…
I did this no fewer than 967 times before bedtime on Day 1.
Day 2
On the second day after I demonstrated the correct way to communicate, the author instructed I was to turn away and ignore the child until he restated on his own without whining, blaming or complaining.
Day 3
On this day in our anti-whining journey, if either boy whined, I was to turn away and ignore him completely as if he were invisible. The boys would get my attention only when they did not whine.
The Result
The program worked like magic. In just three days our boys became non-whiners just as the author promised. They learned quickly how to state the need without whining, complaining, or blaming. It was not so, however, for their mother.
Whining sdult-style
I had my own style of whining. It was adult-size and somewhat more socially acceptable. I whined in my thoughts and attitudes.
We don't make enough money; I want everything everyone else has; I don't want to wait -- I want it right now! I work hard, and I deserve it!
I whined my way into fancy new cars and things like a mink jacket. I whined until I got what I wanted, and then whined about our miserable financial condition. Whine, whine, whine, whine, whine.
Even on the road to financial recovery, I whined, blamed and complained: It's too hard; I want to be a stay-at-home mom; it's not fair; I cannot take this anymore; no one else has it this rough.
Look me in the eye
One day, out of utter frustration with myself and recalling those sessions with my kids, I sat myself down and looked myself straight in the eye. "Stop whining! I cannot listen to you when you whine because it gives me a headache."
I repeated some of my loathsome whinings, shocking me nearly to death. Do I really sound like that?
Treatment is clear
I had to completely ignore myself when I whined. I could not pay attention to myself when I blamed, complained or whined.
Truth even clearer
As long as I was willing to see myself as the victim of my circumstances, nothing was my fault. And as long as I rewarded myself with sympathy and attention, I just kept whining, blaming and complaining.
The results were astounding. It took a few more than three days, but I stopped whining, too.
Are you a whiner?
Are you into blaming and complaining? Maybe it's an ugly divorce, huge medical bills, skyrocketing inflation, sudden unemployment and unfair circumstances that were not your fault.
I have a suggestion. Sit yourself down, look yourself straight in the eye, and say: "Stop whining! I cannot listen to you when you whine because it gives me a headache." Refuse to listen to that anymore.
Then, get busy digging yourself out of that pit of despair. Commit to doing whatever it takes to turn your situation around without whining, blaming or complaining. | https://herald-review.com/lifestyles/everyday-cheapskate-how-i-got-my-kids-to-stop-whining-in-only-three-days/article_08878a56-0eab-11ed-9347-07a42eb79b30.html | 2022-08-10T04:49:50Z | https://herald-review.com/lifestyles/everyday-cheapskate-how-i-got-my-kids-to-stop-whining-in-only-three-days/article_08878a56-0eab-11ed-9347-07a42eb79b30.html | false |
Riley's big night lifts Braves over Red Sox 9-7 in 11
BOSTON (AP) - Austin Riley had a go-ahead, two-run single in the 11th inning and the Atlanta Braves rallied for a 9-7 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.
Riley also hit his 30th home run of the season, a towering, two-run shot over the Green Monster, and an RBI triple to help Atlanta snap its first three-game losing streak of the year.
Jarren Duran, Christian Arroyo and Tommy Pham homered for the Red Sox, who have lost three straight and five of six.
With automatic runner Michael Harris II on second base in the 11th, Ronald Acuña Jr. singled and then stole second, setting up Riley's hit.
Atlanta scored five of its seven runs with two outs.
Dylan Lee (3-0) got the win and Tyler Matzek struck out two in a scoreless 11th for his first save of the season. Braves starter Charlie Morton allowed five runs and six hits over six innings. He struck out seven and yielded all three Boston homers. The right-hander has just one win in his past 11 outings.

Boston lefty Rich Hill was pulled after giving up four runs and seven hits over four innings. Kaleb Ort (0-1), the sixth Red Sox reliever, allowed three runs over 1 2/3 innings.
Atlanta took a 7-6 lead in the 10th when Orlando Arcia drove in automatic runner Eddie Rosario.
But the Red Sox tied it in the bottom of the inning after automatic runner Xander Bogaerts advanced to third on an infield single by Alex Verdugo and scored on a sacrifice fly by J.D. Martinez.
TRAINER´S ROOM
Braves: Boston reliever Garrett Whitlock got the first out of the 10th before Arcia sent a sharp double to left field, allowing Rosario to cross home plate and put the Braves in front 7-6. But Arcia hurt himself coming around first and limped into second before pulling up lame and being tagged out as he overran the bag.
Red Sox: First baseman Eric Hosmer fouled a ball off his left leg in the fourth and exited with a bruised knee. He was replaced by Bobby Dalbec. ... Boston placed right-hander Tanner Houck on the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his lower back. Ort was recalled from Triple A-Worcester. ... OF Kiké Hernández (hip flexor) took batting practice before the game and will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Double-A Portland. He could rejoin the team next week for its three-game series at Pittsburgh. ... RHP Michael Wacha (right shoulder inflammation) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out five over 4 2/3 innings for Portland in what could be his final rehab start.
OH, HENRY
Riley tied Hank Aaron´s franchise record, becoming the fastest player to reach 30 home runs and 30 doubles in a season. Aaron set the mark in the Braves´ 111th game of the 1959 season. Both accomplished it at age 25.
UP NEXT
Braves: RHP Kyle Wright (13-5, 3.22 ERA) is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in three career games against the Red Sox.
Red Sox: RHP Nick Pivetta (8-8, 4.51) leads Boston in starts (22), innings pitched (123 2/3) and strikeouts (119).

Sean Hannity: The FBI and the DOJ have sadly earned the country's distrust
Hannity talks the distrust in law enforcement
Sean Hannity discussed on "Hannity" how the FBI and the DOJ's reputation is in "tatters" following the raid on Mar-a-Largo, former President's Trump's Florida residence.
SEAN HANNITY: THE DOJ IS NOW BEING USED AS A WEAPON AGAINST BIDEN'S TOP POLITICAL RIVAL
SEAN HANNITY: As someone who's one of the loudest supporters, if you watch this show or listen to my radio show of law enforcement on TV and radio in the country for decades, after years of witch hunts, political persecutions, the Russia hoax, frankly, our Department of Justice, our FBI's reputation is already in tatters, especially with anything related to Donald Trump.
And now this, especially Biden's FBI and DOJ that have had Hunter Biden's laptop for years, a laptop that implicates both Hunter and Joe Biden, the big guy himself, in numerous crimes and lies. And they have not lifted a finger at the FBI or the DOJ to bring justice to the Biden family. Frankly, unfortunately, I say this. I no longer believe that in this great country of ours that we have equal justice under the law, nor do I believe we have equal application of our laws in this country.
If your last name is Clinton or Biden, you likely get a pass. If your last name is Trump or if you are an associate with anything Trump, you get the heavy-handed tactics of predawn raids, guns drawn, and in some cases, even fake news, CNN cameras. Again, let me be very clear. I used to always say on this program during the Russia hoax, 99% rank and file FBI agents put their lives at risk, work hard to keep this country safe. Tonight, I say it's about 95%.
There are a lot of good people in the FBI and in law enforcement and in the intelligence community, the FBI and the DOJ. They have sadly earned the country's distrust, especially the upper echelon, which we now know has been and continues to remain rotten to the core.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Yext, Inc. (NYSE: YEXT) between March 4, 2021 and March 8, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 16, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Yext securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Yext class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7115 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 16, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Yext's revenue and earnings were significantly deteriorating because of, among other things, poor sales execution and performance, as well as COVID-19 related disruptions; (2) accordingly, Yext was unlikely to meet consensus estimates for its full year ("FY") fiscal 2022 financial results and fiscal 2023 outlook; and (3) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Yext class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7115 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

A plan to put up a third huge digital advertising screen by the side of the M32 has been rejected by council planners because it would distract drivers too much. Bristol City Council has refused a planning application by a London-based property company to put up the screen, overlooking the motorway in St Werburghs.
The application had almost 100 objections from local residents and campaigners against the proliferation of advertising in Bristol, but it was road safety that council planners gave as the reason it should be thrown out.
Opinion: Why digital advertising billboards on M32 need taking down
The M32 is managed by National Highways, and it offered no objection to the plans for a 6m x 3m screen, located on a small area of grass outside the front of Dainton Self-Storage on New Gatton Road, on the St Werburghs side of the motorway.
But Bristol City Council’s transport department did object, saying that because the screen would face drivers coming into the city centre and would suddenly appear as they passed under the railway bridge on the approach to junction 3 for Easton and St Pauls, it would be too distracting at a spot where drivers are changing lanes and manoeuvering to use the junction.
The council’s transport development manager told planners. “Whilst this sign would predominantly face the M32, which is currently in the jurisdiction of Highways England, BCC as the Highway Authority have objections to this proposal, not least because the impact of a collision on the motorway would have a significant impact on the operation of the surrounding road network. The proposed siting of an illuminated advertising sign at this location is unacceptable given the need for drivers to undertake lane changes and absorb information from the overhead directional signing.
“The effect of this advertisement would be that it would take drivers' attention away from the road at this crucial point whilst negotiating lanes of fast-moving weaving traffic. Furthermore, the positioning of the sign would also mean that it is not fully visible from a distance,” they added.
A mass objection to the proposed screen was led by campaign group Adblock Bristol, which has called for the council to order the removal of the two existing digital ad screens on the M32 in Easton.
But the council’s transport chief said the reason this proposed third one should be rejected could not be applied to those two - because the road conditions were different on that section of the M32.
“The two signs which have been permitted along this stretch of road are visible in a straight line from a distance, allowing drivers to absorb the message over time, thus reducing the demand on drivers' concentration,” they said. “The advertising proposal in question would not be visible from a distance and would only appear for in the drivers' vision for a brief period, this would oblige the driver to either assimilate or dismiss the advertising information quickly. The cognitive function of this action would be a significant distraction from the movements and merging on this stretch of highway,
“Once the sign is viewable, it would quickly become outside of the drivers' cone of vision whilst travelling forward. This would require drivers to turn their heads away from the carriageway ahead in order to view the advertisement, thereby distracting them from vehicles changing lanes at this point presenting a significant road safety risk,” they said, adding that having a distracting digital ad board appear from under the bridge could lead to more collisions where one driver goes into the back of another.
“There is often congestion and the potential for nose to tail accidents at this location. Whilst it is noted that the rate of collisions is low within the 100m indicated in the application package, there have been a number of nose-to tail accidents recorded along this particular stretch of road, which indicates driver error arising from the relatively challenging nature of this part of the highway. The addition of cognitive demand associated with this particular advertising sign at this particular location is likely to further contribute to driver error,” they added.
Council planners refused permission, telling Ardent Land, the company proposing it that the screen would ‘create an unnecessary distraction to road users in an area containing complex high speed manoeuvres and high traffic volumes’.
Barney Smith, from Adblock Bristol, said the council were forced to act because of the 98 objections from local residents and campaigners.
“This is a win for Bristol and we are delighted that this digital billboard has been rejected,” he said. “No one wants new billboards apart from the agencies who make money from them - Adblock Bristol has now helped to block 40 of these giant screens since our campaign started five years ago, and we will continue to work with local residents for a happier, healthier city by keeping new adverts out.”
Charlotte Gage, who lives in Easton and volunteers with Adblock Bristol, added: “This refusal is another big sign back to the advertisers that these digital screens aren’t wanted in Bristol. One of the issues with advertising screens is that neighbours aren’t notified about a new application even though it will have a huge impact on their lives. That’s where Adblock comes in - we let people know and every time we see a massive number of objections.”
The group said it is continuing with its campaign to remove two existing digital billboards that overlook the M32 in Easton. More than 2,300 people have signed a petition to take down the M32 screens, with Adblock aiming to reach 3,500 signatures to trigger a council debate over their removal.
Campaigners need another 1,200 signatures to force the issue to be debated by the council, but when it was put to mayor Marvin Rees at his regular press conferences last year, he indicated it wasn’t a priority for him.
Mr Rees, dismissed their calls , saying he hasn't 'had much time agonising over the billboards on the M32', after listing all the other things he said were more important.
Asked how he felt about the billboards at a press briefing the day after the petition was presented in December, Mr Rees , said: “I appreciate people have got the time to do that and we recognise there’s a challenge with advertising. I just went through a whole list of city challenges we face right now: £23million in the budget needed to be found, adult social care crisis, concerns over child safety, on top of a worsening housing crisis, the climate and ecological emergencies, trying to get people back onto public transport, congestion problems in the city.
“To be perfectly [frank], I really haven’t had much time agonising over the billboards on the M32," he added.

Inter announced the termination of Sanchez's contract on Tuesday (AEST).
The Chile international was part of the Inter side that won the Serie A title in the 2020-2021 season, while he also scored a dramatic 121st minute winner against Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana in January.
Marseille announced an imminent deal for Sanchez on Tuesday, saying in a statement: "Olympique de Marseille and Alexis Sanchez have agreed on the arrival of the player via an agreement in principle.

"The Chile international with 143 caps who has won 17 trophies in his career will commit in the next few hours subject to the success of his medical examination."
Sanchez will become the club's 12th signing of the transfer window, with several temporary deals from last season made permanent, as well as further additions including Jordan Veretout, Jonathan Clauss and a loan move for Nuno Tavares.
The 33-year-old only managed five goals in 27 Serie A appearances for Inter last season, though just seven of those were starts.
In all, Sanchez made 109 appearances for the Nerazzurri after arriving from United in 2019, scoring 20 goals. | https://www.beinsports.com/au/transfers/news/marseille-confirms-deal-to-sign-alexis-sanche/1929857 | 2022-08-10T05:13:30Z | https://www.beinsports.com/au/transfers/news/marseille-confirms-deal-to-sign-alexis-sanche/1929857 | false |

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- It has been a devastating few days for Kathi Camp.
Her 26-year-old son, Diniar Camp, was shot and killed Saturday morning just before 12:30 a.m. at 19th and Berks streets.
Friends and family gathered on Tuesday night for a vigil and a balloon release.
"Stop the violence!" said the mother. "I believe they targeted my baby. They targeted him and it's not fair because he would have loved you. He would have gave his heart to you, took his shirt off his back for you."
Diniar's family said he moved to Las Vegas to escape Philadelphia violence, and the only reason he was in town was to go to his friend's funeral. That friend was 26-year-old Joelill Foy, the founding member of the singing group Brotherly Love, who was gunned down outside his home in July.
"He went away to pursue his music career. He only came here to bury his friend and now he's leaving on a toe tag," said the victim's aunt, Geraldine Camp. "I wish he never would have ever even came here."
"What happened to him is just really sad," added his wife, Arryanna Camp. "I just can't even imagine this happening to anybody, but for it to happen to me, I'm only 22, he was only 26."
Camp's family described him as someone who would give you the shirt off his back and helped others solve problems.
"My son was not a street person. He was loved by very many people," said his mother. "He was into music and dedicated his life to helping people, and talking to people and making them smile."
As Philadelphia police continue to search for the suspect, the family wants to know why the shooter pulled the trigger.
"He went away to get his singing career. You know he got married. He want kids. Y'all took all of that away from us," said Geraldine Camp. "Y'all hit my family hard when you did this."
