Woman, 69, fatally mauled by 3 dogs while walking home
HOLMES COUNTY, Fla. (WJHG) - A 69-year-old Florida woman was killed while walking home when three dogs attacked her, according to the sheriff.
Shirley Johnson, a 69-year-old Holmes County resident, was found dead last Sunday in Gritney, Florida. Holmes County Sheriff John Tate said her cause of death was dog bites, WJHG reports.
Johnson was walking home from her son’s house last Saturday evening when three dogs attacked her, according to Tate. The sheriff said Johnson was found by a passerby nearly 24 hours later.
The medical examiner determined Johnson had been bitten more than 100 times.
The three dogs believed to be responsible have now been euthanized. Neighbors say they had a history of aggressive behavior.
Tate said there are no charges pending against the dogs’ owner because there is no physical evidence tying the dogs to Johnson’s death.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Detroit Lions couldn’t quibble with much Saturday.
David Blough started fast and Tim Boyle finished strong as the backup quarterback competition continued. Detroit had 174 yards rushing and allowed 30. Even the defense delivered.
It was the ending everyone wanted to cap a busy, challenging week in Indianapolis.
Four days after coach Dan Campbell brought his team to Indy for two joint practices, Godwin Igwebuike scored on a 2-yard, tiebreaking run with 4:03 to play and the Lions defense stopped a 2-point conversion attempt with 38 seconds left to preserve a 27-26 preseason victory over the Colts.
“When you earn a win, it feels good. And when we needed a play, we really complemented each other,” Campbell said. “I thought we got better today. This was a good week for us.”
Igwebuike had a solid game, carrying seven times for 32 yards, including his strong final run.
But Blough wanted to show everyone he could rebound from last week’s late turnover, which turned an almost sure win into another frustrating defeat. And with Campbell and Colts coach Frank Reich holding out most of their starters, Blough took advantage of a rare chance to start.
He led the Lions to field goals on their first two possessions and recovered from a batted ball that was intercepted with a 5-yard TD pass as time expired in the first half to make it 13-13. Blough finished 16 of 22 with 76 yards while rushing three times for 18 yards.
Boyle took over in the second half and led the Lions to two touchdowns. The first came on their opening series of the third quarter when he connected with Tom Kennedy on a 10-yard TD pass to make it 20-13. Boyle was 12 of 15 with 99 yards.
“I thought they both did a great job — David driving us down the field at the end of the half and coming away with that touchdown was big,” Campbell said without declaring a winner. “I thought Tim Boyle had a good half, too. He moved the ball and when he was called upon, he stepped up and made some plays.”
Indy quarterback Sam Ehlinger answered with a 50-yard pass to a wide-open Dezmon Patmon, who stumbled to the ground, rolled over backward and stretched the ball across to tie the score again.
Ehlinger also threw a 15-yard TD pass to Michael Strachan in the first half as Indy’s young, unproven receiving group took a significant step forward from a week ago.
“It seems like he’s gone from zero to 60 in a second,” Reich said of Strachan, who was activated from the physically unable to perform list this week. “There was a a couple weeks back, I wasn’t even sure if he was going to practice until the season opener and then all of a sudden he made a speedy recovery and the next thing you know, he’s out there catching a big-time touchdown.”
Midway through the fourth quarter, though, the game looked as if it could be this year’s first tie — until Igwebuike’s powerful final run.
And then it nearly happened again when Jack Coan, an undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, found Samson Nacua for a 26-yard score with 38 seconds left. But Reich called timeout, decided to play for the win and when Coan couldn’t connect with Nacua again, Detroit sealed it by recovering an onside kick.
“Where we’ve been and where we’re coming from (winning) has to be part of our DNA,” Campbell said. “We’re moving in the right direction.”
STAT PACK
Lions: Kennedy had five receptions for 24 yards and the two scores. … Craig Reynolds started at running back and had seven carries for 37 yards including back-to-back 11-yard runs in the first half. … Maurice Alexander had successive kickoff returns of 61 and 45 yards.
Colts: Nick Foles started in place of Matt Ryan and was 5 of 6 with 56 yards in one quarter. … Patmon had five receptions for 103 yards. … Strachan had three catches for 45 yards. … Indy allowed 99 yards rushing in the first half.
INJURY REPORT
Lions: Devin Funchess did not play after suffering a stinger in his right shoulder during practice this week and defensive lineman Eric Banks limped off the field with what appeared to be a right leg injury.
Colts: Linebacker Brandon King left the game in the first half with a hamstring injury and did not return. Defensive end Kameron Cline left late with a concussion.
UP NEXT
Lions: Close out the preseason Aug. 28 at Pittsburgh.
Colts: Host Tampa Bay in next Saturday’s preseason finale.

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, Alaska's premier wilderness challenge, begins this weekend mired in scandals.
There's fallout from a dog doping fiasco, a musher mutiny, and unprecedented pressure from protest groups. All of which, according to a leaked report, are putting the event's future in dire jeopardy.
Saturday marks the "ceremonial start" of the race, when the streets of downtown Anchorage fill with more than a thousand yapping sled dogs. Looking on from the snowy sidewalks are tourists, townies, and mushing fans outfitted in their finest furs. The festivities arrive at the tail end of the city's annual Fur Rondy, a week of events harkening back to a yearly rendezvous among fur trappers, where pelts and antlers are sold openly in the streets. By the time the Iditarod kicks off, the vibe is somewhere between a parade and a dog pageant, with notes of a folksy rural carnival.
The next day, dozens of competitors set out on the grueling journey over snowy mountains, icy rivers, and frozen tundra toward the tiny town of Nome on the Bering Sea coast. As the race has grown increasingly competitive in recent years, top teams make the trek in between eight and nine days.
But this year's race is up against extra challenges, as multiple controversies have crashed down with near simultaneity.
The most high-profile one involves mushing star Dallas Seavey who has been embroiled in the sport's first doping scandal after it came out that some of his dogs tested positive for a banned painkiller at the end of last year's race.
Seavey vigorously denies that he drugged his team, and faults the Iditarod's board of directors for mishandling the investigation, hurting his reputation in the process.
The scandal drove Seavey to post a 17-minute video on YouTube lashing out at race leadership.
"The Iditarod can try to run me over, they can try to throw me under the bus," said Dallas Seavey, a musher wunderkind who won the race four times before he was 30 years old. In the Oct. 23 video he speaks directly into a camera. "They're going to find out I don't fit under the bus."
"There is part of this race that is a cancer right now," Seavey says in the video, alluding to the Iditarod Trail Committee's board. "There is a corruption in this race."
Seavey snubbed this year's Iditarod, and is competing in a Norwegian race that runs at the same time. He has also pushed back on the damning doping narrative by hiring a public relations firm, casting doubt on science behind the drug tests, and aggressively defending his record in the press.
So how did high levels of Tramadol, a widely prescribed opioid, get into four of Seavey's dogs within hours of his arrival in Nome last year?
Theories abound.
"I believe this was given to my dogs maliciously," Seavey says. "I think that's the most likely option."
The idea that a saboteur drugged Seavey's dogs is accepted by many in Alaska's mushing community. Some believe it could have been an unintentional accident. Some think it might have been a rival competitor. And others point to animal rights activists, who have done more in recent years to take down the Iditarod's public image. Leading that charge is People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA. The group says it did not have any personnel in Alaska last year, and condemns dogs being given banned substances. But the group is escalating its tactics by leaning harder than ever on corporate sponsors to drop their support for the event.
"One of the biggest lies that the Iditarod community has tried to sell the public is that these dogs aren't like the dogs we share our homes with, and it's not true," says Colleen O'Brien, a spokesperson for PETA.
The group wants the Iditarod to become a race without dogs, saying too many animals have died as a result of competition, and that mushing is inherently abusive. It claims that sponsor flight is taking a toll on the Iditarod's financial health. And this year, for the first time ever, they are sending protesters to Alaska, with demonstrations planned in Anchorage and at the finish in Nome.
On top of all that, earlier in February a prominent group of race veterans called for the president of the board of directors to resign immediately. Members of the Iditarod Official Finisher's Club sent a letter alleging his mismanagement and conflicts of interest they say are jeopardizing the whole sport.
The demand came on the heels of a confidential report commissioned by the race's main sponsors leaked to the press. It pointed to many of the same problems, saying the board needs major reforms for companies to remain comfortable financing it. Following a closed door meeting, ITC board members voted unanimously to leave president Andy Baker (who's brother, John Baker, is a champion Iditarod musher) at the helm for the time being.
"Everybody wants the race to do better," Baker told reporters after the meeting. "Our whole focus is we want to have a safe race. We want dogs to be safe, we want mushers to be safe, and we want a successful race that's good for Alaska."
Baker says the board is planning to revise its governing rules in the spring, once this year's race is over. That opens the door for reforming leadership practices that have been recently criticized.
Many in the mushing world are pining for the old days, when the Iditarod was more like a weeks-long wilderness adventure than a race.
"There's a big part of me that feels that way," says Stan Hooley, Iditarod's CEO. "Unfortunately I'm in the business, and in the role of working to grow this race."
Some people say that means the Iditarod isn't as fun anymore — that the race doesn't resemble the state-wide celebration it used to be. But others say the global audience and increase in corporate money that it has drawn could be what carries dog mushing on into the future.

“On the fact of chemical terrorism sanctioned by the (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskiy regime, Russia is preparing supporting evidence with the results of all the analyses,” the ministry said in a statement.
It did not say how many servicemen had suffered or what their condition was now. It did not say what the “supporting evidence” was.
Botulinum toxin type B is a neurotoxin that can cause botulism when ingested in previously contaminated food products, but it can also have medical uses.
Ukraine’s defence ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment, but interior ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko commented on the Russian allegation on the Telegram messaging app.
“The department (Russian defence ministry) does not clarify whether the poisoning could have been caused by expired canned meat, in which botulinum toxin is often found. Overdue rations have been massively complained about by the occupying forces since the first days of the invasion of Ukraine,” he said.
The Russian defence ministry said it was conducting an additional investigation into an incident in which Volodymyr Saldo, the Russian-installed administration in Ukraine’s occupied Kherson region, was taken ill.
Saldo, a former mayor of the city of Kherson who was appointed to head the region of the same name when Russian troops overran it in early March, fell ill in early August.
Russia says its “special military operation” launched on Feb. 24 is aimed at demilitarizing Ukraine and protecting Russian speakers on what President Vladimir Putin called historical Russian land.
Ukraine and Western countries view it as an unprovoked war of conquest aimed at wiping out Ukraine’s national identity. | https://en.prothomalo.com/international/europe/3wvcwyi8e0 | 2022-08-21T08:39:34Z | https://en.prothomalo.com/international/europe/3wvcwyi8e0 | false |
The night before one of the biggest rallies in Washington, D.C., history, Sam Zeif is beat.
It's been a long day. It started with an early-morning hit on CNN, then another with ABC's Good Morning America, followed by an afternoon trip to MSNBC — not for the first time. Just two days earlier, he was in Los Angeles, filming a segment with Ellen DeGeneres.
Zeif, like a handful of other Marjory Stoneman Douglas students, has become a familiar face on Twitter and on television since a gunman killed 17 of his Parkland, Fla., classmates and teachers in February. The next day, he would sit on the stage of the "March for Our Lives," which attracted hundreds of thousands in Washington, D.C., and around the world.
He and his classmates have had a lot of long days like this one since the shooting. Their stories are fueling a renewed push for stricter gun regulation. And they say that activism won't end with Saturday's march.
At a White House listening session hosted by President Trump one week after the shooting, Zeif cried on live TV as he put his hand on the shoulder of the Sandy Hook mom seated beside him.
"How did we not stop this after Columbine, after Sandy Hook?" Zeif asked the president. "I'm sitting with a mother that lost her son, and it's still happening."
Over the past few weeks, Zeif has spent a lot of time trying to drive home a message about gun control — do something about the killing or get voted out. But at a window table inside a downtown Washington pizza joint, where he is squeezing in a few pieces of pizza before a hired car shuttles him back to MSNBC for a hit with Brian Williams just before midnight, Zeif isn't talking about organizing principles or NRA dollars or an assault weapons ban.
He is mostly talking about his friend Joaquin Oliver — known as "Guac." He was one of Zeif's best friends.
"Guac was unlike anyone else," Zeif says. "He's funny. Probably one of the most free-spirited people I know. He's just absolutely beautiful, like a beautiful face, like an angel."
They played on the basketball team together before Oliver was killed in his high school on Feb. 14.
"My favorite moments with him were in the car," Zeif says. "He would move as much as possible in a seat. I think even sometimes he would put his booty in the air."
Zeif and Oliver first met in middle school, but it took a few years before they got close. Zeif remembers thinking at a trip to the beach a few years later how cool Oliver was, and that he wanted to be friends with him.
These days, Zeif thinks a lot about their friendship.
"I remember Guac and I got into a fight, and it kind of just happened out of nowhere," he says. "When we were fighting, it was when he dyed his hair blond. I wanted to tell him how good it looked, but what am I going to do?"
"He eventually he just said to me, 'Yo we gotta talk soon,' " he says, "so I hit him up to talk and as soon as he said yes I drove right to his house. I don't make myself that vulnerable to people like that, but I really wanted him in my life."
And that's when in the middle of the pizza restaurant, Zeif starts to cry.
"I just wish I had more time with him," he says softly.
There's not much time for grieving. There's another TV hit on the schedule — hair and makeup, small talk with the anchor and the production staff.
And the pace keeps on going.
When Zeif comes down to the hotel lobby the morning of the march, there are already two camera crews waiting to chronicle his journey to the rally site on Pennsylvania Avenue, where he has a seat on the stage.
There, he meets one of his favorite rappers, Vic Mensa, who is performing alongside people like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato. Toward the end of the program, Zeif holds up a T-shirt emblazoned with "Change the Ref" — the organization Oliver's father has founded in his son's memory. Zeif stretches it out wide right behind Jennifer Hudson as she sings " The Times They Are a-Changin' " backed by a choir and surrounded by Parkland students with their arms around each other.
Before the day is over, there's another roundtable on CNN, dinner with his parents, brothers and some friends near the hotel, and then, after a late night spent with friends in the hotel room, the big weekend is over.
"I don't want to get over it"
"Well, it's not over," Zeif says Sunday morning. "The whole thing is not over. This was just the start of it."
"Yeah, we finally did the march, and that's something we've all been anticipating for a month now. I don't know when or if or how I'll ever get over this," Zeif says of the shooting. "I don't want to get over it because I feel like getting over it is sort of forgetting."
In the fall, Zeif will head off to college at the school he was supposed to attend with Oliver.
"I still want to live the same life I planned before all this, going to college, traveling a lot and starting a family. But it's still going to be different. Everything's going to be different. Nothing's been even close to the same. When I'm in my house or at school or driving, everything's different."
Zeif turned 18 the day after the Parkland shooting.
When NPR first met him back in February, he told us it felt like he had turned 35.
He has had to do a lot of growing up in the past month.
In that time, he went to the funeral of one of his best friends. At the White House, he looked the president of the United States in the eyes and demanded he help make the killings stop.
He has been on TV, met Ellen and Vic Mensa and Vice President Pence; his Twitter following has reached nearly 20,000.
He is also still grieving.

AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
It's time for your comments and, today, they're about Diplo.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "EXPRESS YOURSELF")
CORNISH: My conversation with the world famous DJ this week sparked a conversation among listeners at NPR.org. The gist of that conversation was this: Many of you expect smart music coverage from us about classical releases, jazz certainly, even the work of a 14 accordion orchestra.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
CORNISH: But Diplo is not the kind of music that some of you expect or want to hear from ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
CORNISH: Lance Glousky(ph) of Guadalajara, Mexico, is not alone when he writes: The staff of NPR seems mostly like sane adults. Why can't they use some taste when choosing this stuff? Could anyone really like this music without being on amphetamines at a rave?
And G.Q. Lewis(ph) from Charlotte, North Carolina, writes: I typically don't provide negative feedback, but perhaps we've grown apart. NPR, where are you now? Where did you go? I miss my old friend.
Well, as we said, there was a conversation online and there were Diplo defenders. Among them, Chris Thompson(ph) of Rochester, New York, who writes: I find it hilarious that you people are tuning in to a show called ALL THINGS CONSIDERED and getting upset at the fact that they're considering all things.
We also took some flack for our interview yesterday about big cutbacks at the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Jerry Shiles(ph) of Catonsville, Maryland, writes: While I sympathize with the 200 employees who lost their jobs at the Times-Picayune recently, I was disturbed by your guest's comment that it was like Katrina without the water. It is amazing how millions of people have lost their jobs, yet only when journalists suffer does it become a true tragedy.
Your report also made it seem that the fact that 100 of the jobs lost were from the newsroom was especially tragic. This, in spite of the fact that these individuals probably have more education and better job prospects than the 100 individuals who worked in other areas. One of the reasons the media often has a bad reputation with the public is its extreme myopia regarding itself.

Mexicans go to the polls July 1 to choose their next president, and polls show that voters seem inclined to embrace the past. The center-left Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which ruled the country for more than seven decades before being ousted 12 years ago, holds a solid lead.
But Mexico's young are making their voices heard: Some fear a return of authoritarian rule; others simply want jobs.
Making Noise
For the past few weeks, two things have been happening quite a lot in the Mexican capital: rain and protests. Hitting the streets are students from some of Mexico's most elite universities. They're protesting everything from possible electoral fraud to what they say is biased media coverage in favor of the PRI party's candidate, Enrique Pena Nieto.
The students have been busy. They ran Pena Nieto out of what was supposed to be a friendly visit to one of the city's private universities. They filled the city's historic Zocalo Square with a concert that included some of Mexico's most famous artists.
They've also made enough noise over the Internet and social media to attract three of the four presidential candidates to a debate last Tuesday. Pena Nieto declined to attend.
But like a lot in their fledgling movement, the debate wasn't well organized. Candidates insisted students stay out of the debate venue, a downtown auditorium. Many students stood outside in a light drizzle huddled around a small radio with a bullhorn pressed against the speaker.
Tevye De Lara, an economics major at Mexico Autonomous Institute of Technology, says a major goal of the movement is to bring more competition to the media market in a nation where almost everyone has a television but few have the Internet.
"We see ourselves as the young generation that is going to revolutionize the country," De Lara says.
If the PRI comes back to power, he says, he fears a return to authoritarianism. He'll vote for anyone else, he says.
Paying The Bills
Despite the students' recent activities, polls show many of Mexico's youth back Pena Nieto, says Leon Felipe Maldonado, project director for the Mitofsky polling group.
Maldonado says the students' influence is limited — they are not dependable voters. Their turnout is usually low. One exception was in 2000, the historic election that ousted the PRI from power after seven decades. Since then, however, their numbers have plunged, and Maldonado says he doesn't expect this time to be any different.
That could be because for much of Mexico's under-30 crowd, protesting and political involvement are luxuries. Most have more immediate needs.
Alberto Sainos, 27, shouts to shoppers at an open-air market in Nezahualcoyotl, one of the poorest cities right outside Mexico City. He's selling used baby clothes, laid out at his feet on top a tarp given to him by the Pena Nieto campaign. The candidate's well-coiffed hair and telegenic smile peek out from under mounds of onesies and footie pajamas.
Sainos says he doesn't back Pena Nieto; he just needed a tarp. Sainos has a bachelor's degree in engineering but says he makes more here at the market than in a foreign factory that pays what he calls slave wages.
A Better Tomorrow?
Sainos says there is a lot of talent in Mexico that is going to waste. Mexico's youth suffer among the highest rates of unemployment and poverty. They're also among the highest number of victims in the nation's six-year-long drug war, which has claimed more than 50,000 lives.
De Lara of the student movement says if the events of the past few weeks are any indication, the protests will continue.
"It tells a lot about the force that young people in Mexico have, and we are not stopping now," he says.
That's because, De Lara says, there is a lot to fight for.

AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:
And I'm Robert Siegel. The government said today that the U.S. economy continued to slow during the second quarter of the year. The overall U.S. growth rate fell to just 1.5 percent, as consumers cut back on purchases and spending by businesses, which has been a source of economic strength, also fell. NPR's Jim Zarroli tells us more.
JIM ZARROLI, BYLINE: Today's numbers were about in line with economists' expectations, but expectations had been low. Of special concern was the decline in consumer spending. It rose just 1.5 percent, down from 2.4 percent the quarter before. Sung Won Sohn, professor of economics at California State University Channel Islands, says people bought less partly because of the weak job market.
SUNG WON SOHN: They decided to close their wallets and stop spending, basically. Car sales were especially hard hit.
ZARROLI: There were some bright spots in the report. Exports were up and spending on services rose. Inflation pressures eased a bit, but government spending fell for the ninth straight quarter and businesses have stopped investing the way they were. Sohn says that is at least partly related to the election and the uncertainty over taxes and spending.
The troubles in Europe are also taking a toll on the economy.
SOHN: At the moment, all the risks are the downside. The economy is more likely to grow at a slow pace or even go into recession. And there aren't too many upsides.
ZARROLI: The weak numbers come in the middle of a close election campaign and Republicans were quick to seize on them as evidence that President Obama's economic policies have failed. Glenn Hubbard, a Romney advisor said with the economy growing at such a slow pace, it can never return to full employment. The White House acknowledged that the numbers were disappointing, but Alan Krueger, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, says the economy is still crawling back from the devastating collapse of 2008.
ALAN KRUEGER: Stronger economic growth will help to create stronger job growth, but after contracting at a record rate at the end of 2008, it's an encouraging sign that the economy has continued to expand.
ZARROLI: Krueger said it was up to Congress to stimulate growth by agreeing to keep taxes low on middle class families and passing more of the provisions in President Obama's jobs bill. But Congress has been unwilling to take such steps during a hotly contested election like this one and today's tepid economic numbers seem unlikely to change that.

Editor:
Tuesday’s GOP Primary election was rigged to guarantee a win by Harriet Hageman.
How do I know? The Hageman/Eathorne/Oathkeeper crowd relentlessly attacked Wyoming’s election system and the people who run it for the past two years. The sitting secretary of state eventually had to step up publicly to refute the endless lies about fraudulent votes.
This pressure was applied at even the lowest levels of the system. Eventually they penetrated county clerks’ offices around the state with their desire to ensure the victory of their candidates, Hageman foremost.
But they made a mistake. As they fudged tallies and cast fraudulent votes, they made the mistake of authoritarians everywhere: they created a margin of victory too great to believe. How else do you explain that Liz Cheney’s vote fell from a staggering 73% in 2020 to a measly 35% this week? It is simply unbelievable and they should not expect the great voters of Wyoming to accept this blatant steal.
People are also reading…
They were more careful with the strings in the secretary of state race and ensured that their puppet Chuck Gray won by a smaller, believable margin. People will accept that vote even if they know their GOP nominee does not possess the stature generally associated with such an important office.
How do we make Wyoming great again? Join me at a Stop the Steal Rally at our state Capitol. It was statistically impossible for Cheney to have lost the 2022 Election. Big protest in Cheyenne on Jan. 6. Be there, will be wild! | https://trib.com/opinion/letters/neal-stop-the-steal/article_b41d2ffa-20c2-11ed-802e-5b2bd0b27155.html | 2022-08-21T09:09:06Z | https://trib.com/opinion/letters/neal-stop-the-steal/article_b41d2ffa-20c2-11ed-802e-5b2bd0b27155.html | true |

MOSCOW (AP) — The daughter of a Russian nationalist ideologist who is often referred to as “Putin's brain” was killed when her car exploded on the outskirts of Moscow, officials said Sunday.
The Investigative Committee branch for the Moscow region said the Saturday night blast was caused by a bomb planted in the SUV driven by Daria Dugina.
The 29-year-old was the daughter of Alexander Dugin, a prominent proponent of the “Russian world” concept ideology and a vehement supporter of Russia's sending of troops into Ukraine.
Dugina expressed similar views and had appeared as a commentator on the nationalist TV channel Tsargrad.
“Dasha, like her father, has always been at the forefront of confrontation with the West,” Tsargrad said on Sunday, using the familiar form of her name.
The explosion took place as Dugina was returning from a cultural festival she had attended with her father. Some Russian media reports cited witnesses as saying the vehicle belonged to her father and that he had decided at the last minute to travel in another car.
No suspects were immediately identified. But Denis Pushilin, president of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic that is a focus of Russia's fighting in Ukraine, blamed it on “terrorists of the Ukrainian regime, trying to kill Alexander Dugin." | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Daughter-of-Putin-s-brain-ideologist-killed-in-17387655.php | 2022-08-21T09:09:59Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Daughter-of-Putin-s-brain-ideologist-killed-in-17387655.php | true |
Tony Bellew defends Anthony Joshua's bizarre outburst in the ring after defeat to Oleksandr Usyk and says the Brit is 'respectful, honest and decent to everyone'... insisting 'emotion and tiredness' caused the heavyweight's strange post-fight monologue
- Tony Bellew has defended Anthony Joshua's post-fight outburst last night
- Joshua delivered a fiery speech on the microphone after defeat in Saudi Arabia
- The Brit was beaten by Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk for the second time in a row
- Bellew has said that 'emotion and tiredness' caused Joshua's strange rant
Tony Bellew has defended Anthony Joshua's bizarre outburst after losing to Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night.
Joshua was beaten via split decision as he faced his Ukrainian counterpart for the second time in Saudi Arabia, following defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year.
And after delivering a fiery rant on the microphone, former cruiserweight champion Bellew has jumped to his compatriot's defence - insisting 'emotion and tiredness are working against' Joshua.
Tony Bellew has defended Anthony Joshua's bizarre outburst after losing to Oleksandr Usyk
The British boxer produced an expletive-filled rant following his loss to Oleksandr Usyk
In a set of Tweets, Bellew wrote: 'AJ should be proud of his performance tonight! That is the hardest and most hurt Usyk has ever been in his career!
'He will be back and I believe will be in huge and amazing fights in the near future.. The raw emotion shown there shows he’s human and hasn’t forgotten his roots!
'Don’t ever judge a boxer on a post fight interview! I can’t explain to you how much emotion and tiredness are both working AGAINST you! I’ve known AJ a long time and he’s nothing but respectful, honest and decent to everyone! He’ll be back..'
Bellew speaks from experience when talking on Usyk's hardest fight - having also fallen to defeat against the Ukrainian when they faced off in 2018.
Bellew sent out a series of Tweets to defend his compatriot after the defeat to Usyk
The Merseyside man also fought Usyk - losing to the Ukrainian via KO in 2018
Emotions were evidently running high after Joshua threw two of Usyk's belts out of the ring and onto the floor after the fight and headed for his changing room before storming back to shake Usyk's hand.
He then picked up the microphone and went on an expletive-filled rant, discussing the fight, his career and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
Joshua also led the sell-out crowd in Jeddah through 'three cheers for Usyk' and also highlighted his astonishment at Ukrainian fighters being able to produce title-winning performances as war continues in their home country.
Joshua is expected to take some time off to re-assess the current situation in his career | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-11131461/Tony-Bellew-defends-Anthony-Joshuas-bizarre-outburst-ring-defeat-Oleksandr-Usyk.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-21T09:10:23Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-11131461/Tony-Bellew-defends-Anthony-Joshuas-bizarre-outburst-ring-defeat-Oleksandr-Usyk.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

When Barb and Mike Cannata adopted their first daughter from China almost a decade ago, the process was smooth and relatively quick — just 17 months from start to finish.
Now a chatty and confident 9-year-old, Emma is an accomplished equestrian with her show horse, Ajax. But the family had trouble explaining to Emma why it took so long to get her a little sister.
When the Cannatas decided to adopt again in 2007, Barb Cannata says, everything had changed. They ruled out China early on.
The era of the boom time for international adoption, I think, has passed us by.
"People were saying that they were waiting three or four years, and I know it's even longer now," she says. "We were like, 'No, I don't really want to wait that long.' "
The couple considered Guatemala, but because of a baby-selling scandal, adoptions there had been suspended. They settled on Vietnam and spent months compiling the long list of documents for their dossier.
Slowly, the Cannatas moved up the waiting list, and by June 2008, the couple had reached No. 5, Barb Cannata says.
But soon after, the U.S. suspended adoptions from Vietnam because of concerns about fraud.
"It was a very emotional roller coaster," she says. "I know I was a basket case."
Mike Cannata says he tried to stay strong and positive, but "it got to the point where we couldn't even talk about it."
The Hague Adoption Convention
"The era of the boom time for international adoption, I think, has passed us by," says Adam Pertman, head of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute. "International adoption used to more or less occur under the radar, and it was pretty much the Wild West.
"Then people started paying attention — really paying attention," Pertman says. "And they saw the good, the bad and the ugly."
With allegations of baby trafficking and fraud widespread, the U.S. and other nations have signed onto the Hague Adoption Convention, which imposes strict regulations to ensure transparency throughout the adoption process. While Pertman says the agreement is much needed and well intentioned, he fears some countries have overreacted, shutting down adoption programs altogether as they struggle to meet the new standards.
The media has also had an impact. Press coverage was intense in 2010, when a Tennessee mother returned the 7-year-old son she had adopted from Russia, sending him back on a plane alone. Russia reacted angrily and quickly restricted adoptions to U.S. families.
Many nations also feel increasingly stigmatized for sending their babies abroad. Both Russia and China are now encouraging domestic adoptions over international ones.
In the wake of these shifts, international adoptions to the U.S. have plunged by more than half in the past eight years, from a peak of nearly 23,000 in 2004 to fewer than 10,000 last year.
That drop has been a big adjustment for many adoption agencies. "We took quite a financial loss the very first year that this decline happened quite suddenly," says Jodi Harpstead, head of Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, which handles adoptions. "We've had to readjust and downsize."
In July, Harpstead also stepped in to help run one of the biggest players in international adoptions, Children's Home Society and Family Services. It was hit so hard by the adoption decline that it faced severe financial problems. Hundreds of other agencies, primarily smaller ones, have closed altogether.
The Changing Face Of Adoption
Harpstead says there are still children to adopt overseas. But, she says, they're likely to be older and to have some type of special need.
"We also have children with some medical needs," she says, "some mild, some severe. And then sometimes sibling groups, where the hope is that a family will adopt two or three children instead of just one."
Pertman says these children are paying a price as the adoption process drags out. He says many tens of thousands are left languishing in foreign orphanages.
"We know that orphanage life, institutional care, diminishes children," Pertman says. "They lose IQ points every day. They lose the ability to attach to other adults, they get stunted developmentally, there's psychological damage, every day."
After considering four different countries and putting in five years of effort, the Cannatas finally have a second daughter. They brought home 2-year-old Bella from Bulgaria this spring.
The couple agreed to take a special needs child to hopefully speed up the process. Despite a speech delay, Bella is bubbly, cuddly and adjusting well, considering, Barb Cannata says.
"Bella has been in the orphanage since she was a newborn," she says. "It's just sad. We could have taken her two years ago. We were ready. We could have been matched with her."
Cannata says she understands the need for transparency, but doesn't understand why the process takes so long. Still, she and Mike say their wait was worth it. They have the daughter, they say, who was meant to be part of their family.

WATERLOO – Anne Schoonover Barrett thinks her brother, Steve Mager, would love seeing his larger-than-life-sized portrait painted on the side of a building in downtown Waterloo.
Local artist Bret Miller painted the mural on an exterior wall at The Broken Record, a ‘70s and ‘80s retro bar at 315 W. Fourth St. The dedication is from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday. Main Street Waterloo will host a ribbon-cutting from 4:30 to 5 p.m.
Mager, who died in 2019, was an artist and a well-known supporter of the arts and a cheerleader for Waterloo. He left an indelible mark on the people who loved and admired him, and on Waterloo at such locations as the 220 East Building, where he regularly hosted gallery exhibitions and musicians.
“He would be tickled,” said Schoonover Barrett, who lives in Harpers Ferry. “I think it’s wonderful to remember my brother this way. He was one of the most kind, altruistic people I’ve ever known. He was all about the arts and community and bringing people together. He was a very remarkable person, and I know he’d feel honored.”

The mural is about 17 feet tall and 11 feet wide.
“I’m extremely happy with the way it has turned out. It’s extremely flattering any time you’re asked to make a memorial piece, that people are putting so much trust in me to honor that person,” said Miller, who spent afternoons and evenings painting from a Skyjack lift. Black Hawk Rental provided the lift at no cost.
“I’m terrified of heights, and I didn’t want to be standing on scaffolding while I painted. This way I could tote my materials and paints with me.”
Miller based his design on a photograph of Mager. For fun, he incorporated the shape of arrows into the shirt design based on a story he was told about Mager. “When he was a child and left alone one day, he drew arrows all over the kitchen. His parents were not too pleased. I thought, ‘that’s fun, let’s definitely use arrows.’”
Miller made hand-cut 18- by 20-inch stencils for the portrait which were enlarged at Signs and Designs. “There were 13 stencils measuring 4- by 8-feet tall,” he explained. “I also did a circle that surrounds Steve’s face, which gives it a spiritual nod I thought was fitting. I’ve never made a circle that large on a wall before, and it had to be perfect. So I took a long, thin piece of wood, put a screw through one end and charcoal on the other and made myself a giant compass. It worked beautifully.”
His wife Erin helped him hang the stencils on the wall. He also used fast-drying acrylic spray paint to create the painting.
Mager was born Nov. 1, 1945, in Waterloo. His parents enrolled him and his siblings in art classes at the Waterloo Recreation and Arts Center, where Mager fell in love with art. He graduated from East High School and studied at Hawkeye Community College and the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, before leaving Iowa to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, San Francisco Art Institute and Berkley City College in California. He also traveled extensively.
Eventually, Mager returned to his hometown where he became an arts and community advocate. His own art included painting and sculpting. “I think he underestimated his own value as an artist. Everybody could see his talent, but generally he was promoting other people, not himself,” said Schoonover Barrett.
Although Schoonover Barrett has several of her brother’s pieces, “tragically, I do not know where all Steve’s artwork has gone. I’m very sad about that. I think he gave it away.”
“Steve was a hell of a guy, and there really is no one I’ve ever known like him,” said Danny Laudick, co-founder and executive director of Cedar Valley Launch. “Steve was someone I considered a close friend, and I was always inspired by his passion for, well, honestly, his passion for everything – and his passion for constructively breaking the rules to create cool things. But especially his passion for art and community in Waterloo.”
Laudick and Jessica Young of Waterloo Bicycle Works, former co-owner of Plaid Peacock, came up with the commemorative mural idea. With the Mager family’s blessing, Laudick and Young gathered a group of 12 or so friends and Mager family members to share stories and start working with the artist.
They quickly raised the funds through the Waterloo Community Foundation to make the project a reality. Chris Schwartz and his late husband Logun Buckley hosted a fundraiser at their home last fall. Approximately $4,500 in donations came from the Mager family, Brooks Martin and Laudick, and another $1,750 from more than 20 individual donors. The remaining $1,500 for the project is being covered by an anonymous donor, Laudick said.
When John Hayes, owner of The Broken Record, heard about the mural, he offered his building. Hayes and Mager were good friends and shared an interest in nature. In fact, Hayes purchased an acreage from Mager on the Cedar River, one of the artist’s favorite spots for walks.
“It was an honor to be chosen for the mural. Steve would absolutely love it. His presence in the community is very much missed. I have his obituary hanging up at The Broken Record, and his name is brought up often,” said Hayes.
Laudick added, “More than anything I hope the mural can remind people of how Steve saw the world, how he brought people together from all walks of life and intentionally introduced people to each other who likely never would have met otherwise.” | https://wcfcourier.com/news/local/bret-millers-larger-than-life-mural-honors-late-artist-arts-advocate-steve-mager/article_e8c67c64-72ab-5f9a-97f7-e5ff1af262d1.html | 2022-08-21T09:34:52Z | https://wcfcourier.com/news/local/bret-millers-larger-than-life-mural-honors-late-artist-arts-advocate-steve-mager/article_e8c67c64-72ab-5f9a-97f7-e5ff1af262d1.html | false |
With inflation near a four-decade high, American shoppers are watching their pennies and adjusting their spending habits – and the businesses that cater to them are taking notice.
The change in spending is affecting retailers across the country, from giants like Walmart to the neighborhood supermarket, as they look for ways to deliver more affordable products to their customers.
Here are four examples of what businesses across America are seeing, and how they are adjusting to the new shopping reality.
The family supermarket that's offering gas promotions
Tom Charley's family has been selling groceries in the Pittsburgh area for four generations, through lots of economic ups and downs. Even his father, who ran stores during the high inflation of the 1970s and '80s has never seen a period quite like this.
"It's a challenge, for sure. There's no doubt about it," Tom Charley says.
The three Charley Family Shop N Save markets have long prided themselves on high-quality service, with in-store butchers and bakeries. But today, the company's newspaper ads are more likely to highlight discounts on yogurt than premium, hand-cut steaks.
"We are as focused today as we've ever been on price and making sure we can get items that people care about at the best price possible," Charley says.
That means beating the bushes for lower prices on everything from bananas to the plastic wrap used to package prepared foods. Even as shoppers are trying to save money, Charley says, they still want the ease that comes with pre-cut vegetables or market-crafted kebabs.
"Convenience is king," Charley says. "They want it more and more every day."
That's labor intensive for the supermarkets, which employ more than 200 people. But they still have to be cost competitive, especially now, when grocery prices have been climbing at a double-digit annual rate.
"We've never said we're going to be the cheapest," Charley says. "And we've also never said we're going to be the Whole Foods of the market."
Charley's supermarkets get a lot of mileage from offering a discount at the gas station through a promotional tie-in with Sunoco. Customers save 10 cents a gallon on gasoline for every $50 they spend on groceries.
"Our customers love that promotion," Charley says. "Everyone I know that shops in my store uses it."
Cheaper train sets and hunting for used models
The Smoke Stack Hobby Shop in Lancaster, Ohio, sells train sets, radio-controlled cars and model airplanes. Sales boomed early in the pandemic when many people were looking for ways to entertain themselves at home. But some of the most elaborate model kits, priced at $70 or more, are now out of reach for some customers.
"Once you hit past the $50 mark, somebody has to think long and hard about buying a kit like that," says Patti Riordan, who runs the store with her husband, Don. "So we're still going to get some of those high-end ones, but it's definitely going to be a lot less."
Instead, Riordan is stocking more mid-priced models, which sell for around $35. And a growing share of her sales now comes from used items that another hobbyist has sold or traded in.
"We buy a lot of collections so people can buy a model kit or some rolling stock for their train layout at a fraction of the cost of new," Riordan says. "And that's been a big sustainer for folks this year."
Riordan says while finding and pricing used hobby items is a lot of work, it's gratifying when old railroad cars or other items find new owners.
"It's a nice way to recycle that stuff," Riordan says. "It really allows a lot more flexibility to keep the shop going. And that, I think, gives us the strength to weather through some of these things."
Ice cream at smaller portions – and lower prices
Victor Garcia runs a Mexican-style ice cream company in the Fort Worth area that specializes in flavors like mango, tres leches and tequila.
"Our whole mission is to make people happy by sharing a piece of our Mexican culture," he says.
This summer, Garcia noticed some customers at his SolDias stores were downsizing their orders, perhaps buying just one item instead of two. The average transaction dropped from $13.50 to about $12.25.
"That kind of was the first indicator that maybe a recession is coming," Garcia says. "And we do have to be a little more flexible with our budget-conscious consumers."
Garcia has started offering smaller portion sizes at lower prices. He's also hunting for cheaper paper suppliers and exploring whether he could cut costs by moving more of the ice cream manufacturing process in-house.
"At the end of the day, what we don't want is customers saying, 'That place is outside of our budget,'" Garcia said. "It's up to us as the businesses to really listen and pivot and give the customer the experience they want."
More hot dog sales, fewer deli meats at Walmart
Walmart reported a drop in quarterly earnings this past week, saying cash-strapped shoppers have been trading down and filling their shopping carts with less expensive items as they've grown more sensitive to rising food prices.
"As an example, instead of deli meats at higher price points, customers are increasing purchases of hot dogs as well as canned tuna or chicken," says chief financial officer John David Rainey.
Cash-strapped shoppers are also opting for more private-label products, rather than brand-named goods. And in some cases they're having to get by with smaller package sizes.
Walmart says so far, back-to-school sales have been strong. But customers are wary about spending outside the grocery aisle. That's forced the retailer to offer deeper discounts on other merchandise as it tries to unload unwanted inventory.
At the same time, Walmart says it's seeing increased traffic from upper-income shoppers, who are turning to the discount chain in search of bargains.

As the University of Louisiana at Lafayette opens its doors for the fall semester, it has a lot to celebrate.
Monday will bring not only the start of classes but also the largest freshman class in the university's history.
Monday is also the start of the university’s first full academic year as a top-level research institution, as designated by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
And, UL ranks among the top 100 in the U.S. for research institutions.
“We’re just under a bigger spotlight,” said Jaimie Hebert, UL provost, the chief academic officer.
“It’s always exciting — this is the best time of the year — with energy, hope and excitement,” he said. “If you’re not excited Monday, you’re in the wrong profession.”
Hebert said that for the first time since 2019, the university will open without the pandemic altering the first day of class in some form. For the past two years, classes were forced online or students were adhering to other COVID-19 precautions. That feeds the excitement on campus.
Hebert said the early projection for fall freshman enrollment was right at 2,800 on Friday, up from last year’s freshman class of 2,693.
“Our numbers are way up,” he said. “It promises to be the largest incoming class in UL history.”
Those students will enroll in a variety of new major concentrations, most of them designed to accommodate Louisiana’s developing workforce. Where there is expansion in academic offerings, Hebert said, there is generally a stated reason and purpose that drives the demand.
For example, the College of Engineering is offering new options for renewable energy and bioengineering, both of which satisfy demands in the workforce. Where there is demand, especially in undergraduate or master’s programs, UL will accommodate students, sometimes by hiring additional part-time faculty. To grow doctoral programs, he said, UL has to grow a permanent faculty.
Adding qualified faculty in the future will be aided by the R1, top-tier research status. Job candidates completing their doctoral programs will likely take an interest in UL faculty and research positions.
“R1 puts the spotlight on the university, that what we have here is world-class,” Hebert said. “Students and parents want that.”
The status marks some 50 years of preparation and planning, Hebert said. Most R1-designated universities have developed their research prowess over much longer periods than UL, which is a relative newcomer to graduate education.
“Kudos to a lot of people before us,” Hebert said.
UL President E. Joseph Savoie said Wednesday that UL spent $164 million on research and development in 2020, ranking it at No. 94 for publicly funded universities.
Hebert said students who arrive Monday will enjoy a great research university with a growing reputation but also a student experience that is unique and exciting. They’ll see a football team that has been a top 20 program for two years. They'll experience unique Cajun and Creole cultures.
“We’re a top 100 university, a top 10 destination academically. But with our student experience, our culture, we are a top 10 place,” he said. | https://www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/news/education/article_c4a068a4-2015-11ed-bff6-137503bf51ea.html | 2022-08-21T09:48:42Z | https://www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/news/education/article_c4a068a4-2015-11ed-bff6-137503bf51ea.html | true |
UBC students get $71 million toward class expenses after student society vote By Michael Cinnola Global Radio Journalist SUNDRE, Alberta:\nA local public library recently joined about a $1.7-gil... SUNDERD... Editor's note: This report includes some graphic descriptions of injuries and dead bodies.
In August 1950, 14-year-old Ahn Seung-choon was still asleep at home early one morning when her mother woke her up, screaming that her 17-year-old brother had been taken by North Korean soldiers.
"Someone took your brother, and you are still sleeping!" Ahn recalls her mother shouting. Her mother had tried to chase the boy and his abductors, but she had babies to take care of at home and couldn't follow them for long.
"After that day, we didn't hear anything about him," Ahn says 68 years later in Suwon, a city south of the capital Seoul.
The summer of 1950 marked the start of a brutal three years for Ahn, now 82, and millions of other Koreans caught up in a war that involved the U.S., China and the United Nations. The Cold War conflict left more than 3 million Koreans dead, wounded or missing.
Amid fighting, Ahn and her family fled their village near Pyeongchang; she was wounded in a bombing as she and her mother and siblings crossed a mountain pass.
"In the evening, I came to my senses, smelling shells and blood and bleeding from my own body. I went around looking for my mom, calling her," she recalls. She saw bodies everywhere, covered in blood. "Then I saw a baby crying on the back of a body that was missing a head. I went closer and saw it was my baby sister on my mom's body."
"I should go see him before I die"
Ahn, who survived the war along with an 11-year-old sister, went on to marry and have six children. She never stopped wondering what had happened to her brother. Some 30 years ago, she went to her county office in Jecheon, southeast of the capital Seoul, and put her name on a list of other Koreans wanting a chance for rare, short-term family reunions granted intermittently since 1985.
Of 132,000 South Koreans who registered with the government since 1988, some 57,000 are still alive, hoping to meet their long-lost loved ones before it's too late. No more than 100 South Koreans are given the opportunity to take part in each reunion. There have been only 20 reunions since 1985, the last of which took place in October 2015.
Now, with relations improving between North and South Korea in recent months, the two sides are reviving the cross-border reunions. Ninety-three South Koreans will board buses on Monday to meet their long-lost loved ones in Mt. Geumgang, North Korea.
As the decades passed, Ahn pretty much forgot about her own request — until she got a phone call earlier this month. She'd been chosen in the lottery to visit her brother in the North.
She was thrilled. But two days later, Ahn got another call. Her brother, it turned out, had already died. But he had left a family, and his wife and son were willing to meet.
"It hurts to know that my brother has died. It makes me sad I will never be able to see him now," she says.
But she's decided to go ahead with the trip anyway.
"I should see my nephew. I should go see him before I die. My brother's son would be the only son in the fourth consecutive generation of our family," Ahn says. She has five sons of her own, but believes family line can only be continued from father to son. "He is my father's descendant and will carry on my father's lineage," she says. "So I'm thankful for that."
"Like asking for the moon"
In a neighborhood near the Seoul National Cemetery, Yoon Heung-gyu, an energetic 92-year-old calligrapher, bounces around his basement studio, proudly showing off his karaoke machine and disco light. Like Ahn, he will be traveling north this weekend. He'll see relatives he left behind in Chongju, which he fled in 1948, before the war began.
"When the Communist government came in, it seized our house. My family was rich and had a big house, but they kicked us out, put us in a small hut," he says. "At the young age of 22, I hated the Communist Party. So I fled by night, alone."
Yoon left behind his mother and a younger brother and sister. He traveled light.
"I had to flee with nothing, not even a picture," he says. "If you get caught with something like that, it gives away that you are escaping to the South."
He says his mother begged him not to go, but both were sure that they'd see each other again soon. Only three years had passed since the country was divided along the 38th Parallel. Like many Koreans, they didn't think the division would last. That was 70 years ago.
"If I had known that my family would remain separated for this long, I would not have crossed the border," he says.
Yoon married, joined the South Korean army as a military policeman and fought against the Communists during the war, all the time wondering what had become of his mother and his siblings. He registered for the reunion program almost 20 years ago, then pretty much gave up — until he got a phone call earlier this month to come meet his younger sister.
"I wasn't expecting it to happen," he says. "There are still more than 50,000 people waiting to meet their families. How could I be selected as one of 90-something people going this time? It was like asking for the moon," he says.
He knows his mother died in 1973. He doesn't know what happened to his brother, but hopes his sister might have answers. He's also hoping his sister brings pictures showing the family together — and that he can keep his composure when they meet.
"I will have to see if I cry or not," he says. "I will only find out when the moment comes. Meeting siblings is different from meeting my mother and father. If my mother and father were alive and I could see them, I would burst into tears."
He is frustrated at having waited so long. "It would be good if more people can go meet their families," he says. "But North Korea is worried that its regime might collapse if more people from this liberal country contact more people living under the dictatorship. That's why they're reluctant to hold more reunions."
"I thought it was a miracle that he's still alive"
Kim Gwang-ho, 80, will also be meeting family this week. He also wants more reunions — quickly, he says.
"One of the South Koreans going over this time is over 100 years old, I hear. How much longer will they live?" he asks. "Over 50 percent of them are in their 80s or older. If reunions don't happen fast, they will never be able to meet their families."
Kim, a retired professor of medicine, will be meeting his younger brother, whom he left behind in the northernmost Hamgyong province in 1950, when he fled with his father and his older siblings. Like Yoon, he didn't say goodbye or bring any family photos with him. He thought he was just leaving for a few days, that the South Korean army would beat back the North, and then everything would return to normal.
"Of course I regret it now," he says, "but everyone around us said there was no need to go through the trouble of moving the entire family, including the little children, since we would return shortly after. So only the five of us who were big and healthy enough to move fled."
He and his brothers eventually built lives in the South as doctors and businessmen. They didn't talk about the mother and brother they left behind.
"Even when we gathered together, we didn't bring that up," he says. "I think everyone just kept it in their minds because it's not a happy memory ... so everyone just held it in."
But Kim did add his name to the registry, hoping to find answers. When he got the call that he'd be traveling to meet his younger brother this week, "I was surprised and very happy," Kim says. "What was especially surprising was how could he reach the age of 78 in North Korea? The older brothers I came to the South with all died before they turned 60. So I thought it was a miracle that he's still alive there."
Kim says he and his brother will have too much to catch up on in too little time — they'll be allowed to meet for just three days. He hopes they'll have more opportunities in the future. The recent thaw in relations between the two Koreas could hasten that process, but he's seen thaws before followed by chills. He says there's no way he'll waste time talking politics with his brother — even if it were allowed.
After living for 68 years in the South, Kim says, "There's a saying, 'Home is where you open your heart to.' I live in Seoul. Seoul is my home." The South Korean capital is where he got married and raised three children.
Kim's brother, just 11 when they parted, has since married as well. On Monday, Kim will get to meet his sister-in-law too. Kim says he hopes, but isn't sure, he'll recognize his brother after all this time.

FOREX-Euro, sterling slip to month low on renewed growth fears
By Joice Alves
LONDON, Aug 19 (Reuters) - The euro and sterling slipped to a one-month low versus the safe-haven U.S. dollar on Friday with investors worrying about further economic slowdown after Federal Reserve officials reiterated the need for higher rates.
The dollar index rose 0.2% to 107.69, after earlier touching 107.74, its highest since July 18. The gauge is on track for a 1.9% rally this week, which would be its best weekly performance in ten weeks.
The euro was flat at $1.0084, after touching its lowest since July 15. Sterling sank 0.4% to a one-month low of $1.1882.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said he is leaning toward supporting a third straight 75-basis-point interest rate hike in September, while San Francisco Fed colleague Mary Daly said hiking rates by 50 or 75 basis points next month would be "reasonable."
Kansas City Fed President Esther George said she and her colleagues will not stop tightening policy until they are "completely convinced" that overheated inflation is coming down.
"The U.S. dollar is again on the front foot this morning supported by another round of hawkish Fed speak... the overall tone of Fed officials suggests that the Fed still has a lot of work to do to contain inflation," said Jane Foley, head of FX strategy at Rabobank in London.
Weakening Chinese data this week and an energy crisis in Europe are raising fears of further economic slowdown, which also hit European currencies and supported safe-haven flows, Foley added. "We expect another break below parity," she said.
The euro is on course to decline 1.7% since last Friday, which would be its worst week since July 8. Sterling is on track for its worst week in more than a year, set for a 2% drop.
British consumer sentiment in August fell to its lowest since at least 1974, a survey showed, as households feel "a sense of exasperation" about the soaring costs, as inflation hit double digits.
European Central Bank board member Isabel Schnabel fueled inflation worries by saying consumer prices could still accelerate in the short-term.
Interestingly, despite the Fed chorus on the need for higher rates, the odds of another supersized 75 basis point hike next month have receded to 45% in money markets.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell will update the market on his views at the annual Jackson Hole symposium on Aug. 25-27.
Against Asian currencies, the greenback rose to 136.76 yen , its highest since July 27. China's yuan slipped to a three-month low of 6.8150 per dollar in onshore trading after the central bank set a much-weakened midpoint guidance, with traders expecting further downside due to an economic slowdown.
"The USD/CNY fix today above 6.80 was the highest this year and suggests that the PBOC will not cap its gains in the face of the climbing USD," said Alvin Tan, a strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
In cryptocurrencies, bitcoin fell 7% to $21,793. Ether was down 5.8% to $1,737.

NEW DELHI (AP) — At least 40 people have died and others are missing in flash floods triggered by intense monsoon rains in northern India over the past three days, officials said Sunday.
The rains inundated hundreds of villages, swept away mud houses, flooded roads and destroyed bridges in some parts of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand states. The Indian Meteorological Department predicted that heavy to very heavy rain would continue to fall in the region for the next two days.
An official government release Sunday said landslides and flooding in the Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh over the last three days killed at least 36 people. Hundreds were taking shelter in relief camps after being displaced from their flooded homes.
In the neighboring state of Uttarakhand, a series of cloudbursts Saturday left four dead and 13 went missing as rivers breached banks and washed away some houses.
Rescue teams were evacuating the stranded in both states.
Disasters caused by landslides and floods are common in India's Himalayan north during the June-September monsoon season. Scientists say they are becoming more frequent as global warming contributes to the melting of glaciers there.
Last year, flash floods killed nearly 200 people and washed away houses in Uttarakhand.

Oleksandr Usyk kissed the blue-and-yellow flag of Ukraine and looked to the Saudi Arabian sky as he waited to discover if he had honored his war-torn country by retaining his world heavyweight titles.
When he heard the winning words “and still,” an emotional Usyk raised his left arm and pulled the flag over his face.
Six months ago, he was patrolling the streets of Kyiv with an automatic rifle and defending Ukraine from the invading Russians.
Here, inside the ring at King Abdullah Sport City arena, the still-undefeated Usyk had lived up to his billing as the sporting pride of Ukraine by beating Anthony Joshua in a closely fought rematch on Saturday to keep his WBA, WBO and IBF belts.
“I devote this victory to my country, to my family, to my team, to all the military defending this country,” the 35-year-old Usyk said through a translator. “Thank you very, very much.”
After a grueling five-month training camp, Usyk entered the arena in a blue-and-yellow top carrying the words “Colors of Freedom” and supported by words of encouragement from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his nightly video address to the nation.
“We stick together,” the president said. “We help each other. We restore what was destroyed. We fight for all our people. And we cheer for those who represent Ukraine, today — definitely for Usyk, our guy!”
And Usyk started as the favorite after outclassing Joshua in the first fight in London in September last year.
However, the British challenger, a former two-time champion, came into the rematch with a new game plan from his new trainer Robert Garcia: Attack Usyk’s body and keep the pressure on.
And it nearly worked, with Usyk taken to the limit in the ninth round as he was chased around the ring by Joshua, who landed combinations and targeted Usyk’s ribs.
Usyk took a deep breath at the bell, then came out hard in the 10th round, hurting Joshua with an early right hook and forcing him onto the ropes for the first time in the fight.
The battering of Joshua was sustained in the 11th while the 12th was evenly fought, the fight ending with both fighters — clearly exhausted — falling to their knees in front of each other on the canvas.
They embraced and Joshua appeared to offer his help to the plight of Ukraine.
Then, in an expletive-laden speech inside the ring after grabbing the microphone, Joshua — who moments earlier was seen picking up two of Usyk’s belts and throwing them to the canvas — hit back at his critics before praising Usyk for fighting so well in the circumstances.
“I was studying Ukraine and all the champions from your amazing country,” Joshua said. “I’ve never been there. What’s happening there, I don’t know but it’s not nice. For Usyk to be champion, under those circumstances, please raise your hands.”
Usyk was complimentary about Joshua, too.
“This is already history,” he said. “Many generations are going to watch this fight, especially the round when someone tried to beat me hard. But I stood up to it and turned it in a different way.”
Usyk also claimed the Ring Magazine belt with the win. There’s only one heavyweight title that Usyk doesn’t own — the WBC one that is about to be vacated by Tyson Fury, who says he is retired.
When asked about Fury, Usyk said: “I am sure Tyson Fury is not retired yet. I am sure Tyson Fury wants to fight me. If I’m not fighting Tyson Fury, I’m not fighting at all.”
Two judges gave it to Usyk, one 115-113 and the other 116-112. The other gave the fight to Joshua, 115-113.
Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion, fell to his third loss in 27 fights and his career is at a crossroads.
Where Usyk goes from now appears to depend on Fury.
Saudi state television published photographs showing Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman attending the fight. The 36-year-old son of King Salman, the crown prince has pushed for sporting events to come to the kingdom even as U.S. intelligence agencies believe he ordered the beheading and dismemberment of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/ukraine-oleksandr-usyk-anthony-joshua-boxing-heavyweight-titles-rcna44100 | 2022-08-21T10:04:00Z | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/ukraine-oleksandr-usyk-anthony-joshua-boxing-heavyweight-titles-rcna44100 | true |

Restoration of Jiankou section of Great Wall to be completed
A worker is seen at the west part of the Jiankou section of the Great Wall in Beijing, capital of China, Aug. 16, 2022. Located in Beijing's suburban Huairou District, the Jiankou section of the Great Wall, once known among the hikers as "the deserted Great Wall", is believed to be one of the most dangerous parts of the relic.
A restoration project, mainly focusing on a 1,678-meter-long wall with 8 watchtowers in the west part of Jiankou section, is expected to be completed by the end of October.
The project is implemented in adherence of the principle of "minimum intervention" to ensure maximum authenticity, integrity and ancient historical features of the Great Wall.
Meanwhile, a research-based restoration project is also underway with the aim of reinforcing and eliminating potential safety hazards as well as changes and existing conditions of the Great Wall through multidisciplinary cooperation. (Xinhua/Li Jing)

'Heartless' church under fire for pushing out beloved community café - as locals vow to fight the Catholic custodians over the decision
- Catholic Church in Melbourne tells beloved local café to vacate premises
- Pietro e Paolo café has been huge part of local South Melbourne community
- Owner was given a letter by the church that it must vacate the grounds
- More than 100 residents gathered outside building to protest decision
A local Melbourne community are rallying against the Catholic Church who are trying to squeeze a beloved café out of the area.
The owner of Italian eatery Pietro e Paolo in South Melbourne has been told its lease on church grounds will not be renewed.
More than 100 residents gathered outside the Saints Peter and Paul's Church on Saturday, calling on management to 'show some heart' for the café and its owner who helped the community through the Covid pandemic.
'It's been part of every celebration we've had since it's opened. Andrea has made every birthday cake for my children. It would be a shame to let the property just sit vacant,' local Chelsea Murrell told The Age.
'Andrea has more charity in his little finger than we've seen being shown by the people [in the rectory] next door.'
The owner of Italian café Pietro e Paolo in South Melbourne has been told its lease on church grounds will not be renewed
More than 100 residents gathered outside the Saints Peter and Paul's Church on Saturday, calling on management to 'show some heart'
The church's priest Father Bob McGuire was forced to retire in 2012 - a figure residents say was key in creating its tight-knit local community.
Andrea Mantese, who runs the café, effectively took his place as the suburb's patriarch, but now faces losing his institution.
The Pietro e Paolo regularly feeds the homeless and provides food to the church and locals in need.
It became a pop-up florist during the pandemic, to bring a patch of light to the area.
Ms Murrell, whose children attend the Catholic primary school across the road, said the café was where the local mothers met every day.
It remains unclear why the café faces shutdown, with parish member Robert Larkins saying there hadn't been any detail given into the plans for the space.
Father Gary Deverywas is in charge of the decision, but has so far refused to comment.
'Let's hope that the Catholic Church shows some heart, particularly in this day and age when it needs to indicate it has some compassion for the community,' Mr Larkins said.
The Catholic Church have come under fire by a local South Melbourne community for telling its beloved community café to shut its doors
Other locals have described the café as 'iconic' and crucial to providing the suburb's 'sense of community'.
The owner, Mr Mantese, said he was 'disgusted' by the lack of communication from the church.
'I asked if we could arrange a lease at least until Christmas, or go month by month, but they said no,' he said.
'[Father Devery] said to my face, 'it's not up to me', but the archdiocese says the parish is 100 per cent independent.'
In a statement, the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne's executive director Tim O'Leary said the decision 'ultimately rests with the parish priest'.
'[I] understand that the parish is in the midst of a broader master planning process, including a review [of] all aspects of parish property,' he said in a statement. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11131359/Melbourne-Catholic-church-fire-pushing-beloved-Pietro-e-Paolo-caf.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-21T10:18:01Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11131359/Melbourne-Catholic-church-fire-pushing-beloved-Pietro-e-Paolo-caf.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

Deputy resigns after traffic stop that pregnant mother calls terrifying
BRADFORD COUNTY, Fla. (WJXT) - A pregnant mother is speaking out after what she describes as a terrifying traffic stop with a Florida deputy. The traffic stop was caught on police camera, and the deputy later resigned.
Four months pregnant Ebony Washington and her three children were on their way home to Jacksonville from Gainesville last Friday around midnight when they were pulled over for speeding by Bradford County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jason DeSue.
DeSue says the mother was traveling 75 miles per hour in a 55 mph speed zone.
Despite the lights and siren, Washington did not pull over right away because she wanted to find a well-lit area before doing so. She kept driving but turned on her hazard lights.
“It was dark [and I was] with my kids. I felt uncomfortable. I didn’t want to be able to not have anyone else around,” Washington said.
In the body camera footage, DeSue sounds like he is unhappy with this decision.
“Pull the vehicle over, or I’ll put you into the ground,” he said through the police car’s speakers.
Shortly after DeSue makes that statement, he follows Washington’s car into a gas station parking lot. Video shows he gets out of the vehicle and points his gun toward her car.
“If you make any movement, that’ll be your last mistake you’re gonna make,” he shouts at the car. “Do not move.”
The video shows Washington put her hands outside the vehicle like the deputy asked.
Washington says she was unaware the deputy pulled out a gun at first.
“I didn’t know he had a gun until I told him my seatbelt was on because he was telling me to get out… He said, ‘Well, get out. I have my gun. I’m not worried,’” she said.
Body camera footage shows DeSue aggressively take Washington’s arm after he handcuffed her.
Washington later tried to explain to the deputy why she did not initially pull over.
“I’m trying to tell you the only reason why I didn’t stop. I’m a very educated woman with a master’s degree… I was only not because it’s dark out and I have three kids with me. I’m pregnant, and I did not want them to feel uncomfortable,” she said in the video.
“Shut up about the why,” DeSue yelled at her. “Don’t care about the why.”
Washington was given a speeding ticket and apologized to the deputy.
“Apologize for yourself for not thinking,” DeSue said in the video.
The mother says she keeps replaying the incident in her head. She says she was “obliging [and] corresponding” during the stop, but she worries about might have happened.
“Had I done any type of movement outside of what he asked me to do, that could’ve been the opportunity for him to pull the trigger,” she said.
DeSue resigned from the sheriff’s office after the incident.

Cristiano Ronaldo's rape accuser 'appeals decision by US judge to throw out civil case' after she claimed he attacked her in penthouse suite in Las Vegas
- Kathryn Mayorga, 37, has appealed a US judge's decision to dismiss her civil case
- Mayorga alleges that Cristiano Ronaldo raped her in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009
- She has appealed a Judge's claim her attorney showed 'bad-faith conduct'
A woman who accused Cristiano Ronaldo of rape has appealed against a US judge's decision to dismiss the civil case.
Kathryn Mayorga's lawyers will go to court in San Francisco this week in a bid to keep her £54million claim alive.
The case was thrown out in June by US Judge Jennifer Dorsey who said that Mayorga's lawyer had shown 'bad faith' and relied on leaked documents.
Mayorga, 37, wants to overturn a £275,000 out-of-court settlement agreed with him in 2010.
The alleged rape was said to have taken place in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009 after they met the same night in RAIN nightclub.

Mayorga, 37, wants to overturn a £275,000 out-of-court settlement agreed with him in 2010
American model-turned-teacher Mayorga claimed the football star raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009 after the pair met on a night out (pictured) in the city
The allegation was first made in 2010 when a settlement was reached, three years later Mayorga claimed she was 'mentally incapacitated' at the times and filed a civil lawsuit.
The claim was made public in 2017, her lawyers have said she was inspired to speak out and make her claim public by the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment.
While no charges were brought, she launched a civil suit in a bit to over-turn the non-disclosure agreement.
Court documents previously revealed she is claiming £18m for her past 'pain and suffering', £18m for future 'pain and suffering' and another £18m for punitive damages.
In 2018, Ronaldo said: 'I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me. Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything I am and believe in.'
US prosecutors investigated but said he would not face charges.
Ronaldo – said to be worth £360million – is separately trying to claw back £37,000 of legal costs from Mayorga's attorney Leslie Stovall.
And there is also an ongoing case over whether Las Vegas police's investigative files from the case can be handed over to the press. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11131563/Cristiano-Ronaldos-rape-accuser-appeals-decision-judge-throw-civil-case.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-21T11:14:07Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11131563/Cristiano-Ronaldos-rape-accuser-appeals-decision-judge-throw-civil-case.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

Health authorities warn against increasing local transmission of monkeypox in Australian states
According to the health department, symptoms of monkeypox usually begin seven to 14 days after exposure through skin-to-skin contact and can include fever, headache, body aches and a rash or lesions on the genital area.
Sydney: Health authorities of the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) on Sunday warned local residents to be vigilant for the symptoms of monkeypox following local transmission of the virus in the state.
There have been 42 cases of monkeypox detected in NSW, among which one case is confirmed to be infected within the state while two others were infected within the country, Xinhua news agency reported. NSW Health Executive Director of Health Protection Dr Richard Broome said the recently diagnosed case highlights the importance of people remaining vigilant for symptoms regardless of whether they have visited high-risk environments overseas.
According to the health department, symptoms of monkeypox usually begin seven to 14 days after exposure through skin-to-skin contact and can include fever, headache, body aches and a rash or lesions on the genital area.
People with these symptoms should avoid close contact with others, including sexual activity, as condoms are not effective at preventing the transmission of the virus. At the same time, the neighbouring state of Victoria is seeing an increasing local transmission, with the state's total monkeypox cases rising to 40, including about 15 to 18 active cases.
Victorian Deputy Chief Health Officer for Communicable Disease Deborah Friedman said there has been a "significant increase" in locally acquired cases in the past two weeks. About half of the 40 cases were acquired within the state instead of overseas.
"We are really the only state in Australia that's seeing such an increase of local transmission," Friedman said. As of August 18, Australia Department of Health and Aged Care has recorded 89 monkeypox cases, mainly within the densely populated NSW and Victoria.
Australia has secured 450,000 monkeypox vaccines and started rolling out in states and territories, but due to the limited supply, the vaccines are mainly provided to new cases and close contacts.
It is illegal to buy and sell blood in India, blood banks charge a processing fee to prepare and run various blood product checks. The most common offence observed across banks was overcharging for grouping and cross-matching of blood —the official rate, if grouping/cross-matching is done through automation is Rs 280, and semi-automation is Rs 120. Yet, banks charged anywhere between Rs 300 and Rs 1,400; many hospitals charged based on the category of the room the patient was admitted in.
The acquisition marks the entry of the group in the state of Haryana. The upcoming integrated healthcare complex located on the Golf Course Road at Gurugram would be commissioned in a span of 24 months. | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/diagnostics/health-authorities-warn-against-increasing-local-transmission-of-monkeypox-in-australian-states/93691072 | 2022-08-21T11:15:27Z | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/diagnostics/health-authorities-warn-against-increasing-local-transmission-of-monkeypox-in-australian-states/93691072 | true |

Woman, 21, who plummeted to 5st after being obsessed with online fitness videos and was 'told to just eat a few more pies' by GP beats anorexia to become Miss England contestant
- A student's weight plummeted to 5st after being obsessed with fitness videos
- Jess Hynes, 21, suffered for two years as she yearned for the perfect body image
- She is now in the running to be crowned Miss England after beating the disease
A former anorexic whose weight plummeted to five stone after being obsessed with online fitness videos is now in the running to be crowned Miss England after beating the disease.
Jess Hynes, 21, from Chester, suffered from anorexia for two years after becoming obsessed with the perfect body image she was being exposed to on social media.
The psychology student started fixating on her weight and achieving the 'perfect healthy lifestyle' and soon began excessively exercising during lockdown after watching fitness videos online. She dropped to just five stone.
Shockingly, after realising she had a problem she visited her GP only to be told she was fine and should 'eat a few more pies'.
Jess was later hospitalised and overcame her demons with food by undergoing cognitive behavioural therapy - and after getting her weight back up to a healthier 8 stone, 5ft 6 inches Jess plucked up the courage to enter the Miss Cheshire beauty pageant.
And last week she was stunned to be crowned the winner at a ceremony in Manchester, which automatically lands her a place in the final of Miss England 2022.
Jess Hynes, 21, suffered from anorexia for two years as she yearned for the perfect body image. After getting her weight back up to a healthier eight stone, 5ft 6ins Jess plucked up the courage to enter the Miss Cheshire beauty pageant
The psychology student started fixating on her weight and began excessively exercising during lockdown after watching fitness videos by Joe Wicks and Chloe Ting. Pictured at eight stone after she beat the disease
Jess said she became obsessed with achieving the 'perfect healthy lifestyle' but was unwittingly doing the exact opposite as she dropped to just 5st. Pictured at 5st during the summer of 2021 as she fought anorexia
Jess now wants to use her platform as a beauty queen and anorexia survivor to help and inspire others who may be suffering from eating disorders.
She said: 'I have come a long way and I look back now and can't believe what I used to be like. I started having eating problems at the age of 18 when university life had started but it got worse during the first lockdown.
'I was seeing all these fitness gurus saying you can do all these home workouts. With too much time on my hands I got obsessed with the perfect healthy lifestyle.
'I was working out excessive amounts - but I was cutting food too. My lowest weight was [5st], which shocks people. Biologically you are living but you're not living.
'I knew that I wasn't living and I was not just hurting myself but others who cared about me. I will never forget how upset my mum was when I was in hospital and I never want to put her through that again.

After getting her weight back up to a healthier 8 stone, 5ft 6 inches Jess (pictured before her recovery) plucked up the courage to enter the Miss Cheshire beauty pageant
'When I was at my lowest weight I didn't go to the doctors for a while. I was [6st], and the doctor weighed me and just told me I was fine and to eat some more pies.'
She continued: 'It's quite difficult to change your life when you're so stuck in the losing weight. I used cognitive behavioural therapy which I still have remotely and go in for appointments every few weeks.
'I got my social life back and saw food again as something to enjoy and nourish my body. I would say I have 2,000 calories a day now. My metabolism has changed. I starved it for so long that I wanted to eat everything. I snack a lot more now.
'I would say social media is the main cause behind it. I'm a perfectionist and on social media you have unrealistic versions of what is supposed to be "perfect". It's a good environment social media but it can be quite toxic.
'So instead of being 'perfect' I want to show that we all have insecurities too and make mistakes because everybody is different and you never know what anyone is going through.'
Last week Jess (pictured when suffering from the condition) was stunned to be crowned the winner at a ceremony in Manchester, which automatically lands her a place in the final of Miss England 2022
After realising she had a problem she visited her GP only to be told she was fine and should 'eat a few more pies'
Jess decided to enter her first ever beauty pageant despite never hearing of Miss England before as a way to get her 'sense of self worth' back.
She has also recently been signed for a modelling agency in London as well as having her sights set on the Miss England crown.
She added: 'I didn't even know what Miss England was, I was told about it through word of mouth. I didn't actually think it would be an option for me until I recovered from anorexia when I figured I should just enter because I might never do it.
'I entered Miss England because I was hoping to firstly show myself I can be confident and now I have the strength that I did not have last year to do it this year.
Jess decided to enter her first ever beauty pageant despite never hearing of Miss England before as a way to get her 'sense of self worth' back
Jess will be taking part in the Miss England final on October 17, at the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre, in Coventry
'I lost a sense of self worth for two years and I wanted to get that back. I wanted to spread awareness of anorexia and the damage it can do but to also inspire other sufferers to find the strength to recover.
'I have always been about living in the moment and this is why Miss England for me is so exciting because you never know what you could achieve with ambition.
'I'm looking to get involved with Beat, the eating disorder charity, as they have close links with Miss England. My goal from the start has always been to inspire young women who may be in the same position I was.'
Jess will be taking part in the Miss England final on October 17, at the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre, in Coventry.
The winner qualifies for the 71st Miss World Beauty with a Purpose final. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11131503/Woman-21-plummeted-5st-obsessed-online-fitness-videos.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-21T11:38:39Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11131503/Woman-21-plummeted-5st-obsessed-online-fitness-videos.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false |

Britain's best boss? Managing director of phone systems firm 4Com gives ALL of his 431 staff a £200-a-month bonus to help with rising energy bills
- All 4Com staff are receiving a £200 monthly bonus to cope with energy costs
- Managing Director Daron Hutt announced the bonus program last week
- The program will remain in effective indefinitely as energy costs continue to rise
- Experts have warned that energy bills could hit a massive £3,615 this winter
The managing director at a UK phone systems company is giving his entire staff a monthly £200 bonus to help offset soaring energy costs.
Daron Hutt met with his 'truly fantastic team' at 4Com last week to announce the firm's Energy Support Bonus program which will remain in effect until further notice.
He said the company was in the position to help thanks to the firm's 'growth,' which he attributed to the successes of the 431-member staff.
4Com's new initiative comes as households have been warned that energy bills could hit a massive £3,615 this winter, according to energy consultant Cornwall Insight.
Global energy prices have soared since Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, while Gazprom, Russia's state-run supplier, has cut the flow of gas from the Nord Stream 1 pipeline that runs beneath the Baltic Sea to try and end European support for Kyiv.
Daron Hutt, managing director of phone systems company 4Com, is giving his entire staff a monthly £200 bonus to help offset soaring energy costs
Mr Hutt announced the initiative during a team meeting last week, telling his staff: 'We can help offset some of the that are clearly coming.'
He said his 'truly fantastic team' would start receiving the pay increase immediately, The Sun reported.
'What we are putting into place, effective immediately, is an Energy Support Bonus, whereby each and every person in the company will receive an increase of £200 a month in their payslips until further notice,' he explained.
'Our priority with our Energy Support Bonus is supporting the team we've built here over the years - they're our most valuable asset,' echoed Chief Executive Gary Scutt.
Hutt and CEO Gary Scutt (pictured) said the bonus program is effective immediately and will remain in place indefinitely
Both firm leaders touted the company's recent growth, noting those successes made the bonus program possible.
'Thanks to that growth, we're in a position where we can help offset some of the price rises that are clearly coming,' explained Mr Hutt.
Mr Scutt added: 'We are continuing to grow with over 50 roles available and this bonus will be extended to all joining.'
4Com, based in Bournemouth, Dorset, was founded in 1999. The firm topped the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies list in 2017.
Meantime energy bills could reach extreme highs in the new year - worth hundreds of pounds more than previous predictions, Cornwall Insight revealed.
The increase represents a huge jump from October 2021, when the average bill was £1,400, before the price cap - the maximum amount suppliers can charge customers for average energy usage - then rose to £2,000.
Last month, Cornwall Insight predicted that annual energy bills would typically rise to £3,244 from October and £3,363 from January, but circumstances have changed significantly since then, adding yet more pressure to families already struggling.
The company told BBC Breakfast earlier this month that such a bill is now likely to rise to £3,358 from October and £3,615 from January.

The skyrocketing energy bills in the UK come as energy prices are soaring across the globe.
Germany switched off hot water and central heating in public buildings and stopped lighting monuments overnight to save energy, as British bosses paid the highest price on record for electricity last month as part of desperate efforts to avoid a power blackout.
In May, the British government announced an energy costs support package – worth £400 per household – but this was in response to predictions that bills would rise to £2,800 for the average household in October.
The Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem) currently reviews the energy price cap every six months, but will now review it four times a year.
The government is expected to announce October's price cap later this week. Another review is set for January 2023w.
Charity National Energy Action last month predicted that, should the average bill reach £3,250 per year, 8.2 million UK households will be in fuel poverty, or one in three.
Experts also fear energy bills for the typical family could reach £6,089 a year by next April
UK gas prices are soaring after Russia began throttling off supplies to Europe, causing a global shortage as EU leaders scramble for supplies
Experts also fear energy bills for the typical family could reach £6,089 a year by next April. The figure, released by energy consultants Auxilione on Friday, represents a five-fold increase on where bills were until April this year, before wholesale prices took off and the price cap began to spiral.
Since then, gas prices have spiked to levels never seen before, as Vladimir Putin's regime slashed supplies. Hard-pressed families are struggling with bills and face the prospect of more rises over the winter.
It is feared millions will be unable to pay bills over the next year, unless Ministers increase the current £400 they've promised households as a discount.
Those who get into debt could be moved to prepayment meters (PPMs) – where they have to pay in advance for gas and electricity, plus pay extra each time they top up to pay off the money owed.
The price cap hike comes with Britain in the grip of a cost-of-living crisis, with inflation hitting ten per cent and interest rates rising. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11131471/4Com-boss-gives-431-staff-200-month-bonus-help-rising-energy-bills.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-21T11:39:11Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11131471/4Com-boss-gives-431-staff-200-month-bonus-help-rising-energy-bills.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
Govt. amends rules for physical verification of companies' registered office addresses
Under the Companies Act, 2013, a Registrar of Companies can do a physical verification of a company's registered office
The government has amended rules to ensure a transparent process for physical verification of addresses of the registered offices of companies, including by way of having independent witnesses at the time of the verification.
The steps listed out in the new rules will help do away with discretion of authorities as well as put in place a transparent system with respect to the physical verification process.
Under the Companies Act, 2013, a Registrar of Companies (RoC) can do a physical verification of a company's registered office if he or she has a reasonable cause to believe that the company concerned is not carrying out business in a proper manner.
Now, the process for such physical verifications has been put in place under the Act.
The physical verification will be done in the presence of two independent witnesses of the locality in which the company's registered office is situated. If required, the assistance of the local police will be also sought, according to the corporate affairs ministry.
To check the documents' authenticity, the same should be cross verified with the "copies of supporting documents of such address collected during the said physical verification, duly authenticated from the occupant of the property where the said registered office is situated", the ministry said.
The registrar will also have to take a photograph of the company's registered office during the physical verification.
Once the verification is done, a detailed report with various information, including location details and photographs, will be prepared.
Navin Kumar, Partner at Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, said the objective steps required during physical verification as well as the format of the physical verification provided in the amendment is a welcome step and removes discretion of authorities.
"This amendment also settles the debate around the primary legislation enabling the physical verification of registered address by RoC—the process for which is to be prescribed in the Rules—but the Companies (Incorporation) Rules not providing for it," he said.
He also noted that the amendment is in furtherance of Section 12(9) of the Companies Act and provides the procedure of physical verification of the registered address of a company by RoC if it has reasonable cause to believe that the company is not carrying on any business or operations or is not capable of receiving and acknowledging communication.
In case the company's registered office is found to be not capable of receiving and acknowledging all communications and notices, the registrar concerned will send a notice to the company and all its directors seeking information.
Further action, including the decision on removing the name of the company concerned from the official records, will be initiated depending on the response from the company.
The ministry has amended the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014.
On July 18, the ministry informed the Lok Sabha that a total of 1,12,509 companies have been struck off from official records in a little over three years.
These companies have been struck off under Section 248 (1) of the Companies Act during the period from April 1, 2019, to July 12, 2022. This section allows RoCs to strike off companies.

A radio station celebration: KTAL observes 5 strong years
KTAL-LP is 5!
More than seven years ago, Kevin Bixby learned that the FCC would grant a “low-power” radio license in Las Cruces. Meanwhile, experienced journalist and community radio guru Nan Rubin had moved here. A small group of us applied for the license, spread the word, found and trained folks who wanted to do radio shows, studied rules, bought equipment, and rented studio and radio tower space — all to become a real radio station.
I’d hosted a daily radio show for six months on commercial radio here; in Taiwan in 1986-88, I gabbed (in English) on radio; and in the mid-1970s I hosted a weekly news-discussion show on KRWG-TV.
I thought we could fill an important need that would soon grow more important: helping Las Cruces talk to itself. Politically, culturally, socially, musically, artistically and more. As other media died, or their local programming dried up like desert puddles, we’d need an independent, nonpartisan community radio station.
So we busted butt. Not to compete with KRWG Radio, to which most of us listen regularly, but to supplement KRWG’s local programming. With award-winning national NPR shows, great classical music, plus some local shows, KRWG had limited resources for local news, let alone an eclectic mix of music shows hosted by radio rookies.
Five years ago, we finally seemed ready to go on air. Some felt we should raise more money, to ensure that once we went on air we could survive; others felt we should jump right in, and new listeners would contribute enough to keep us going. (I was in the “Jump right in” camp.) We jumped.
“Speak Up, Las Cruces!” was the first regular program we aired, and the only two-hour news-oriented show. Walt Rubel quickly joined me as co-host; Minerva Rivera volunteered as our engineer, so that I didn’t have to try to run the board while talking to guests and callers. Weekly, she saves us from madness and idiocy. More recently, Shirley Baca became a third co-host, bringing her unique local perspective and knowledge.
How do I feel about “Que Tal!” turning 5? Delighted — and determined to make us better! We quickly developed a set of shows that were generally pretty good, each with its own style and focus. Some show-hosts were experienced and skillful; others had always wanted to try radio, and quickly made the best of this opportunity to do so. People listened. Some contributed money. We kept on keeping on, all of us volunteers until we finally hired a part-time station manager early this year.
We survived COVID, although mask arguments cost us one excellent show, and COVID precautions kept us from gathering in person for a long time, let alone holding another spectacular Rio Grande Theatre fundraiser. People joined us, and others left. Space doesn’t permit me to rave about the many wonderful KTAL folks who’ve impressed me, on-air and behind-the-scenes.
We’re a community resource. If you have a show idea or something to ask or tell us, you can visit our website, http://www.lccommunityradio.org/. Or, better yet, join us Sunday, (which is today, since this column appears in Sunday’s Sun-News), between 5 and 8 p.m. at 121 Wyatt Drive, Space #9, for KTAL’s 5th birthday party, with live music, eats and drinks. See the studio, tell us how we’re doing, make suggestions, or just hang.
Thanks for joining us on this challenging journey, and here’s to many “Que Tal” celebrations!

BRIGHTER SKIES BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Your First Alert Weather Forecast:
We’re starting off our day with lots of clouds and areas of dense fog. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 10 AM for the following counties: Green Lake, Marquette, Fond Du Lac, and Sheboygan. Use extra caution if traveling through these areas. Slow down, increase your following distance, and use your low-beam headlights. Thicker clouds will last through at least the midday hours, and a few showers cannot be ruled out especially in East-Central Wisconsin. Otherwise, late day sunshine is likely and highs will make it into the middle to upper 70s.
Overnight tonight, areas of dense fog will be possible again. This could impact your Monday morning commute so go ahead and factor in some extra time for your commute. Otherwise, the new work week will begin on a fairly quiet and seasonably warm note with highs climbing back into the low 80s. High pressure will work its way in keeping skies partly cloudy both tomorrow & Tuesday. These days will likely be dry other than a spotty showers in the Northwoods Tuesday.
Our next weather maker will be a cold front late Wednesday into Thursday. It may spark areas of rain and scattered storms but it’s still too early to tell if any of them will be strong or severe.

Rose Ayling-Ellis says that her Strictly Come Dancing win last year has 'changed deaf people's lives' as she prepares to leave EastEnders role as part of ongoing soap shake-up
Rose Ayling-Ellis has said her Strictly win last year had led to increased visibility of Britain's deaf community.
The EastEnders favourite, 27, was speaking ahead of the launch of the new series of the BBC's dancing show and got emotional about her stint on the competition.
The imminently departing soap actress told OK!: 'I really miss it. I loved dressing up and the hair and make-up every week. That was the most exciting thing.
The deaf star raised the profile of the disabled community by appearing in the BBC One show.
Champs! Rose Ayling-Ellis, 27, after winning this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing with Giovanni Pernice
Inspiration: The deaf star raised the profile of the disabled community by appearing in the BBC One show
She and professional partner Giovanni Pernice won a BAFTA for their dance to Clean Bandit's Sympthony that had a silent section to highlight the deaf experience.
Speaking of when she accepted the award, Rose said: 'I was so nervous. My knees were shaking when it got announced.
'I was on the stage and I was like, 'Oh my God, that's Olivia Colman!'
'Stephen Graham and Suranne Jones were there too and Suranne was looking at me directly when I was doing my speech and looked emotional. I was like, 'Oh my God, they're listening to me. This is amazing!'
Many moons ago! Rose shared a snap from her first day playing her character Frankie
Her triumph in the dancing show led to the recognition of British Sign Language as an official language in the UK.
Rose added: 'When you're in Strictly you're in a bubble and you don't really see what's going on in the outside world.
'After I finished and I got out to see the deaf community again, they said more people had been saying thank you to them and more people were signing now.'
Rose is set to depart her role as Frankie Lewis in EastEnders later this year after joining the show back in 2020.
Calling it quits: The show's first deaf actress is bowing out as Frankie Lewis following her Strictly success and says her exit storyline will be an 'important one'
Rose was the first deaf actor to play a regular deaf character on EastEnders and has been part of a number of major storylines including the discovery that she is Mick's daughter after he was abused as a child.
The actress will bow out this autumn and has already filmed her final scenes.
Rose said: 'It's been incredibly special to be EastEnders' first regular deaf actor. I have loved my time on the show and Frankie has been such an awesome character to play, however now feels like the right time for me to move on and I am excited and ready for new challenges.
'I will always treasure my time on the show and all the incredible people I have worked with, who have supported my growth as an actor these last two years and given me so many amazing memories.
Pub life! Another milestone included pulling her first pint in the Queen Vic | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11131567/Rose-Ayling-Ellis-says-Strictly-Come-Dancing-win-year-changed-deaf-lives.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-21T12:18:18Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11131567/Rose-Ayling-Ellis-says-Strictly-Come-Dancing-win-year-changed-deaf-lives.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

Brits could be paid to switch off appliances at busy times in plan to avoid winter blackouts. National Grid ESO (Electricity System Operator) is setting up plans for customers to get money back off soaring bills if they switch to off-peak use.
A National Grid ESO spokesperson said: “We are developing a new service that will be available for consumers to benefit from across this winter and will be announcing further information soon.”
If you have a smart meter, your usage will be monitored over time. Rewards are then offered for those who use less energy at busy times.
READ MORECineworld bankruptcy fears as cinemas across Midlands face uncertain future
Rewards could be paid directly or given as credit on your account. The Sunday Times, which first reported the plans, said the grid will apply to the Ofgem regulator for approval, with hopes the scheme will open by late October.
The plans follow a trial with Octopus Energy customers earlier this year, when as little as 20p was paid for every kWh, or kilowatt hour, saved. A range of prices have since been considered, including up to £6. Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi last week suggested that rolling blackouts are unlikely as preparations were under way for the winter, as Russia's invasion of Ukraine strains supplies.
But forecasts now say energy bills could hit a staggering £6k by next year. And there are warnings of blackouts under worst case scenarios for UK households as a bleak winter hits.

Car blast kills daughter of Russian known as ‘Putin’s brain’
MOSCOW (AP) — The daughter of a Russian nationalist ideologist who is often referred to as “Putin’s brain” was killed when her car exploded on the outskirts of Moscow, officials said Sunday.
The Investigative Committee branch for the Moscow region said the Saturday night blast was caused by a bomb planted in the SUV driven by Daria Dugina.
The 29-year-old was the daughter of political theorist Alexander Dugin, a prominent proponent of the “Russian world” concept and a vehement supporter of Russia’s sending of troops into Ukraine.
Dugin’s exact ties to President Vladimir Putin are unclear, but the Kremlin frequently echoes rhetoric from his writings and appearances on Russian state TV. He helped popularize the concept of “Novorossiya” (New Russia) that Russia used to justify the annexation of Crimea and its support of separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine.
He promotes Russia as a country of piety, traditional values and authoritarian leadership, and disdains Western liberal values.
Dugina expressed similar views and had appeared as a commentator on the nationalist TV channel Tsargrad.
She was sanctioned by the United States in March for her work as chief editor of United World International, a website that the U.S. described as a disinformation site. The sanctions announcement cited a UWI article this year that contended Ukraine would “perish” if it were admitted to NATO.
“Dasha, like her father, has always been at the forefront of confrontation with the West,” Tsargrad said on Sunday, using the familiar form of her name.
The explosion took place as Dugina was returning from a cultural festival she had attended with her father. Some Russian media reports cited witnesses as saying the vehicle belonged to her father and that he had decided at the last minute to travel in another car.
The vivid and violent incident, unusual for Moscow, is likely to aggravate Russia-Ukraine animosity.
No suspects were immediately identified. But Denis Pushilin, president of the separatist Donetsk People’s Republic that is a focus of Russia’s fighting in Ukraine, blamed it on “terrorists of the Ukrainian regime, trying to kill Alexander Dugin.”
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, denied Ukrainian involvement, saying on national TV that “We are not a criminal state, unlike Russia, and definitely not a terrorist state.”
Analyst Sergei Markov, a former Putin adviser, told Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti that Alexander Dugin, not his daughter, likely was the intended target and said “it’s completely obvious that the most probable suspects are Ukrainian military intelligence and the Ukrainian Security Service.”

PHOENIX (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol leaned back in his chair postgame, trying to find more superlatives to describe ageless Albert Pujols. Words weren’t easy to come by, as the slugger’s lore in baseball history continues to grow.
“Listen to the names that we’re talking about, man,” Marmol said. “It’s unbelievable.”
Pujols blasted two more homers on Saturday night, pushing his career total to 692 and helping St. Louis beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 16-7.
With the first homer, Pujols passed fellow Cardinals icon Stan Musial for No. 2 in total bases in major league history and now has 6,143. Hank Aaron is No. 1 with 6,856.
It was a vintage night for the 42-year-old Pujols, who continues to hit like a man at least a decade younger. The 11-time All-Star hit solo homers in the second and fourth off D-backs lefty Madison Bumgarner, both to almost the same spot in the left-center seats.
He nearly hit a third homer, scorching a single off the base of the left field wall in the sixth. He capped his 4-for-4 night with a ground ball single through the left side of the infield in the seventh.
Pujols could have had five hits, but Marmol elected to pinch hit rookie Nolan Gorman in the ninth.
Nobody was cheering louder than Pujols when Gorman singled.
“That’s what you’re supposed to do in baseball, have fun,” Pujols said. “When you don’t have fun, you put too much stress on yourself. It’s a great group of guys here, so it’s pretty awesome.”
Pujols needs four more homers to tie Alex Rodriguez for No. 4 all-time. He’s been on a roll over the past month, batting .386 with five homers over his past 16 games coming into Saturday.
The slugger says this is his last season. Just a few weeks ago, 700 career homers looked out of reach, but the way he’s swinging the bat, it appears very much in play.
“That’s the hard work I put in day in and day out,” Pujols said. “Nothing surprises me.”
St. Louis had an 8-4 lead going into the eighth but the D-backs rallied for three runs off reliever Jordan Hicks. Giovanny Gallegos was able to get out of the jam and the Cardinals tacked on eight insurance runs in the ninth, capped by Paul DeJong’s grand slam and Paul Goldschmidt’s three-run shot.
The Cardinals have won six straight games and 15 of their past 18.
Lars Nootbaar’s two-run triple in the sixth pushed the Cardinals ahead 7-4. Nootbaar also scored on the play, scampering home after right fielder Daulton Varsho bobbled the ball in the corner.
The Diamondbacks jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first on Christian Walker’s sacrifice fly and Carson Kelly’s RBI single that dropped just in front of a diving Nootbaar in right field.
Kelly finished with two hits and three RBIs. Jake McCarthy had a solo homer. Bumgarner (6-13) gave up five runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings. The left-hander said facing Pujols is never easy.
“That’s probably the best he’s ever hit me,” Bumgarner said. “It’d be hard to do much better.”
St. Louis starting pitcher Dakota Hudson gave up four runs over 4 1/3 innings. Genesis Cabrera (4-2) got the win in relief.
GOLD GLOVES
Nolan Arenado and Goldschmidt combined for the defensive play of the night in the sixth.
D-backs speedster Alek Thomas hit a high chopper into the middle of the infield. Arenado ranged over from third base, snagged the ball out of the air with his bare hand and then fired a low throw to Goldschmidt, who was able to scoop the ball from the dirt for the out.
Arenado has won nine Gold Gloves while Goldschmidt has four.
MAN ON THE MOVE
Pujols drew arguably his biggest roar from the crowd in the fifth, when he tried to steal second base.
The 235-pounder took the D-backs — and pretty much everyone else — by surprise but catcher Carson Kelly was still able to make an accurate throw for the out.
Pujols has never been known as a speedster, but has been good at picking his spots with 117 career stolen bases. He’s now been caught 43 times.
ROSTER MOVES
Cardinals: C Yadier Molina is away from the team for the next two days because of what Marmol called “business matters.” Marmol said he expects Molina will be back in the lineup on Monday. Molina was placed on the restricted list. C Iván Herrera has been recalled was activated from the taxi squad.
UP NEXT
The teams finish their three-game series on Sunday. The D-backs will pitch RHP Merrill Kelly (10-5, 2.81 ERA) while the Cardinals counter with LHP Jose Quintana (4-5, 3.38).

NEW DELHI (AP) — At least 40 people have died and others are missing in flash floods triggered by intense monsoon rains in northern India over the past three days, officials said Sunday.
The rains inundated hundreds of villages, swept away mud houses, flooded roads and destroyed bridges in some parts of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand states. The Indian Meteorological Department predicted that heavy to very heavy rain would continue to fall in the region for the next two days.
An official government release Sunday said landslides and flooding in the Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh over the last three days killed at least 36 people. Hundreds were taking shelter in relief camps after being displaced from their flooded homes.
In the neighboring state of Uttarakhand, a series of cloudbursts Saturday left four dead and 13 went missing as rivers breached banks and washed away some houses.
Rescue teams were evacuating the stranded in both states.
Disasters caused by landslides and floods are common in India’s Himalayan north during the June-September monsoon season. Scientists say they are becoming more frequent as global warming contributes to the melting of glaciers there.
Last year, flash floods killed nearly 200 people and washed away houses in Uttarakhand. | https://www.kxnet.com/news/international/ap-international/40-dead-in-floods-landslides-in-northern-india/ | 2022-08-21T12:42:48Z | https://www.kxnet.com/news/international/ap-international/40-dead-in-floods-landslides-in-northern-india/ | false |

ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:
One final note on that famous title fight between Liston and Ali. The legendary anchor punch that Mike mentioned is also known as the phantom punch. That's because many in the crowd didn't see it land and certainly didn't think that one quick punch could have dropped a man Liston's size. Even Ali seemed surprised. To this day, many wonder if the fight was fixed. After the fight, Ali headed over to broadcaster Steve Ellis and asked to see a replay.

Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, is running a brilliant campaign in the race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Patrick J. Toomey. Fetterman has grasped a central tenet of electoral politics: Voters choose candidates with whom they identify.
His latest anti-Oz barrage is all about vegetables. Oz filmed a disastrous video in which he shopped for “crudités” at a grocery store. Fetterman’s response:
In PA, we call this a Veggie Tray.
— John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) August 17, 2022
If this looks like anything other than a Veggie Tray to you, then I am probably NOT your candidate lol
Get in on the joke with me - Will you make a campaign contribution of ANY amount before the end of the night? https://t.co/wMyObj0ZNA pic.twitter.com/LHhNx0DNwv
The Democrat raised $500,000 from that round of mockery.
Oz was also caught saying that, despite reports that he owns 10 homes, he “legitimately” (?!) owns only two properties. Fetterman responded:
Dr. Oz claimed he has only two houses. Survey says.... pic.twitter.com/CLJbhQCH7U
— John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) August 17, 2022
Fetterman has used MTV’s “Jersey Shore” star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi to paint Oz as a carpetbagger from New Jersey. He also has supported Oz’s induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame.
All this has driven Oz’s negative ratings up, his fundraising down and Republicans’ angst sky-high. The National Republican Senatorial Committee recently slashed ad spending in Pennsylvania by a stunning $7.5 million.
Fetterman has opened up a significant lead, 11.5 percent in FiveThirtyEight’s poll average, in a state that Republicans had not unreasonably thought they could hold. Cook Political Report has changed the race from “Toss-Up” to “Lean Democratic.” Cook Political Report’s Jessica Taylor writes: “Fancy French appetizer plates aside, a simple glance at Oz compared to the hoodie-and-shorts clad tattooed Fetterman, and it’s not surprising to discern who comes across as more authentic and relatable to voters.” It didn’t help that Oz “spent much of the end of June into early July on vacation in Ireland, and post-primary traveled frequently to Palm Beach.”
Thanks to his clever and opportunistic assault on Oz, Fetterman has come across as the more energetic, engaged and certainly good-humored of the two, despite the stroke he suffered just before the primary.
Fetterman’s campaign holds a few lessons for Democrats. First, find a relatable candidate, not necessarily one with poll-tested positions or known for what passes for eloquence in political circles. Then, let him run as a genuine article. Second, humor is among the most effective techniques. What is Oz supposed to say — “Stop laughing at me!”? There is no real rebuttal to well-targeted mockery.
And lastly, recognize that Republican “populism” is a facade. Whether it is multimillionaire Oz or Yale Law School graduate and millionaire J.D. Vance in Ohio or one of the Ivy League-educated Republican senators, the notion that the GOP MAGA panderers represent the average American is farcical. (Their policies, including taxing the poor, protecting corporations from paying at least something in taxes, repealing the Affordable Care Act and sunsetting Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid surely are not “populist” in any sense of the word.)
Fetterman is a walking, talking, veggie-tray-buying rebuttal to the argument that Democrats have to change their policies to appeal to non-college-educated voters. Fetterman’s center-left policies (e.g., pro-choice, capping insulin at $35, supporting the Inflation Reduction Act) are popular. It’s his cultural persona and personal connection that have made a difference in the race.
For his successful campaign strategy, depicting Oz as a phony out-of-stater and showing Democrats what a real populist looks and sounds like, we can say, “Well done, Mr. Fetterman.” | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/08/21/distinguished-pol-john-fetterman/ | 2022-08-21T13:00:14Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/08/21/distinguished-pol-john-fetterman/ | false |

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The APWG's new Phishing Activity Trends Report reveals that APWG saw 316,747 phishing attacks in December 2021 — the highest monthly total observed since APWG begain its reporting program in 2004. Overall, the number of phishing attacks has tripled from early 2020.
The full report is available here:
https://docs.apwg.org/reports/apwg_trends_report_q4_2021.pdf
In the fourth quarter of 2021, APWG founding member OpSec Security found that the financial sector, which includes banks, became the most frequently attacked cohort, accounting for 23.2 percent of all phishing. Attacks against webmail and software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers remained prevalent as well. Phishing against cryptocurrency targets — such as cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet providers — inched up to represent 6.5 percent of attacks.
Overall, the number of brands that were attacked in 4Q descended from a record 715 in September 2021, cresting at 682 in November for the Q4 period.
Abnormal Security observed 4,200 companies, organizations, and government institutions falling victim to ransomware in Q4 2021, some 36 percent higher than in Q3 2021 and the highest number the company has witnessed over the past two years. "The overall distribution of ransomware victims indicates that ransomware attacks are industry-agnostic," said Crane Hassold, Director of Threat Intelligence at Abnormal Security.
"Like with other financially-motivated cyber-attacks, the focus of most ransomware attacks is more about the ability to quickly profit from the exploitation of a corporate network and less about the characteristics of the victim company itself." The top industries impacted by ransomware in Q4 2021 were manufacturing, retail & wholesale, business services, construction, and healthcare.
PhishLabs, by HelpSystems, analyzed malicious emails reported by corporate users and categorized them by threat type. PhishLabs found that in Q4 2021: 51.8 percent of them were credential theft phishing attacks; 38.6 percent were response-based attacks (such as BEC, 419, and gift card scams); and 9.6 percent were malware delivery attacks.
Agari by Helpsystems found that the average amount requested in wire transfer BEC attacks in Q4 2021 was $50,027, down from $64,353 in Q3 2021. This decrease was because scammers requested fewer big-dollar transfers over $100,000. RiskIQ also observed a surge in phishing continued along with an increase in the overall number of phishing emails And Axur found that phishing in Brazil went down in Q4, a pleasantly surprising development during the holiday shopping season.
Agari found that domain name registrar NameCheap was the primary registrar used by cybercriminals to register the domain names for BEC attacks in 4Q 2021. NameCheap accounted for more than half of all BEC domain registrations, with Google and GoDaddy each making up 8 percent. As the name implies, NameCheap is one of the least expensive places to register a domain. This is likely a factor in its popularity with scammers.
RiskIQ found that the 13,947 confirmed phishing URLs reported to APWG in Q4 2021 were hosted on just 1,444 unique second-level domains. In comparison, in Q3 RiskIQ analyzed 4,340 confirmed phishing URLs and found that they were hosted on 2,649 unique second-level domains — almost twice as many domains.

Trends Report Resource Note for Researchers: With this edition of the Trends Report, APWG adds metrics for ransomware attacks [p. 6] and malicious email types [p. 10].
Abnormal Security's ransomware metrics provide insight into the industry verticals that are being subject to ransomware attacks, the relative intensity of attacker interest for each one and, as importantly, the revenue-echelon of victim enterprises that are the focus of ransomware gangs' interest. This knowledge helps organizations' managers, curators and security vendors better understand their overall risk for being subject to ransomware attack.
PhishLab's metric for email attacks segments the categories into threat types (credential theft; response-based attacks; and malware delivery) to bring insight into the nature of cybercrime attacks directed against enterprise users. Historically, Trends Report focused on consumer-targeted phishing attacks employing social-engineering based phishing attacks that abused brands — but, for full-spectrum understanding of user risks at work and at home, PhishLab's metric measures the kinds of email threat types experienced by enterprise users.
Trends Report Correction Note: Due to a transcription error, an early edition of the Q3, 2021 Trends Report, published 22 November 2021, indicated that attacks against financial institutions and payment providers combined accounted for 34.9 percent of attacks in the quarter when the actual and correct percentage should have been reported as 24.9 percent. The corrected Q3, 2021 report is available here: https://docs.apwg.org/reports/apwg_trends_report_q3_2021.pdf All previous APWG Trends Report editions from January, 2004 onward, are available in this directory - https://apwg.org/trendsreports/ - as a service to industry, government, multilateral organizations and the general public.

For as long as there have been countries, there have been wars.
We send the best of our young men and women into unspeakably horrific situations that will stay with them for the rest of their lives — assuming they make it back home in the first place.
I know World War II and Korea veterans who have been impacted by PTSD longer than the term has existed. We still see the impact Vietnam had on generations of Americans every day, and today we’re living with spikes in mental health issues, including suicide, among our veterans like never before — including many of our younger military members who served in the Middle East.
The most tragic of ironies is this: The battles our military heroes fight elsewhere eventually come back to hit them in other ways at home. That means the rest of us must fulfill our sacred duty to honor and help those who put their lives at risk for us.
My hope is that just for today, we can all set aside some differences and join forces for one of our own — just by reading his story.
Today isn’t Memorial Day, or Veterans Day, or even the Fourth of July. But we are coming up on the one-year anniversary of one of the worst days for our United States military in the past decade — the suicide bombing at Kabul Airport’s Abbey Gate on Aug. 26, 2021.
Tristan Hirsch of Chico, a United States Marine, was there, right in the middle of the carnage that cost more than 200 people, including 13 members of our military, their lives. He lost friends (while suffering a traumatic brain injury himself) and saw many of the very people he was trying to help blown to pieces by a sick, subhuman act of evil.
Thank God he’s home, and is willing to share his story with our readers today.
There is no government spin ahead; this is the first-hand account of a Marine who spent two weeks trying to save lives and maintain some semblance of order in a chaotic situation where human life often seemed to hold no value whatsoever to the barbarians we were fighting — and in some cases even the people we were trying to help.
Parts of this story will horrify you. If it doesn’t make you stop and appreciate all that’s good about your life — while also pausing to give thanks to people like Tristan Hirsch and our millions of military veterans — I haven’t done my job today.
They knew he was there
Of all the things Hirsch said during our hour-long conversation — from the subhuman acts of hate he witnessed right to the desperation and fear he saw in the eyes of Afghanis fleeing from the Taliban as the U.S. ended its 20-year occupation of Afghanistan — few impacted me more than this:
They knew the suicide bomber was there.
They’d seen him around the area for two days.
And they weren’t allowed to kill him.
“We knew about him (the suicide bomber) two days prior to the attack,” said Hirsch, who spoke with me at a local coffee shop with his wife Kayla and father Steven Hirsch earlier this week. “We knew what he looked like. The CIA let us know; he looked exactly as they’d described him.”
Hirsch explained that the tens of thousands of people hoping to escape Kabul — and often certain death at the hands of the Taliban — had been waiting at the airport for days, and they showed it. On the other hand, a man on a suicide mission was likely to stand out from the crowd, looking freshly showered with a well-trimmed beard.
So, while Hirsch said he never personally saw the bomber, others who were working at Abbey Gate that day did — “the day prior and the day during,” Hirsch said. “He’d show up and leave.”
Our forces literally had their shot at killing the suicide bomber before he was able to kill and maim so many others.
“A friend of mine who was a sniper racked back his rifle and was ready to kill the guy,” Hirsch said. “We asked for permission and the reply was, ‘let me get a military judge to see if it’s legal.'”
Pausing, Hirsch added “the battalion commander at the time was very concerned about his job.”
Needless to say, approval didn’t come in time. The suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt and thousands of ball bearings in his vest butchered almost everyone around him in the crowded area, killing more than 200 people and permanently wounding scores of others.
There was a second suicide bomber there known to the Marines too, Hirsch said, “but he didn’t get a chance to detonate. I think the first one that went off killed him.”
Him, and unfortunately a lot of other people.
The explosion — and aftermath
It’s understandable that an initial reaction to such a blast would be confusion — especially in a scene that was so chaotic in the first place. It was no different for Hirsch.
“I remember getting hit by the blast, sitting there and I was looking at it,” Hirsch said, adding “My normal job was a combat engineer. I’d dealt with explosives all the time, blowing open doors, making trenches with explosives and really big amounts of explosives. I remember seeing it and thinking that’s not that bad, that’s not big.
“But what I failed to realize until 30 seconds went by was there were thousands of ball bearings in that 25-30 pound vest he was wearing. At the time I was pretty confused. One of my friends yelled at me to get cover. I was just kind of standing there — everyone yelled for a corpsman.”
Quickly, Hirsch realized it was “a lot worse than I thought it was.”
Pausing to reflect, he said the most painful words of all: “190 Afghanis dead and 13 (of our) guys … two women.”
The force of the explosion left Hirsch with a TBI — traumatic brain injury — and gruesome memories that will last a lifetime.
Hirsch was asked if he’d lost some friends that day. Looking down at a memorial bracelet he wears bearing his lost friend’s name, he said “Yes … I lost my platoon sergeant. Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover.”
Pausing, he added “He was a really great guy.”
Here’s the story of how another great guy also ended up in that hellish situation.
From Chico to Afghanistan
Hirsch’s life story is similar to so many others who grew up in Chico. He attended both Pleasant Valley and Chico High Schools, graduating from Chico in 2016.
A cousin of his joined the Marines in 2010, and Hirsch said “hearing his stories from Iraq and Afghanistan” led to him eventually deciding he was going to pursue that avenue as well. So, on May 21, 2018, at the age of 20 and already married to his wife Kayla, he joined the Marines.
Eventually, he ended up in Saudi Arabia as a member of the emergency quick reaction force “for anything in the Middle East.” And that, he explained, “is why we were the first ones there.”
Hirsch said his entire six-month deployment in Saudi Arabia had been spent training for this event, firing thousands of rounds in preparation daily. When President Biden set Aug. 31, 2021 as the final exit date for American military personnel, the Marines knew their time for action was coming — especially in the weeks immediately ahead, as the Taliban regained control of much of Afghanistan and security around the airport was crumbling.
“We just kept looking at the news on our phones,” he said, with everyone finally realizing “This is our job. We’re going.”
Hirsch said they flew in around Aug. 15 or 16, and even that wasn’t easy.
“Our squadron leader would go into the command center while we were waiting and tell us how (the first plane) couldn’t land. There were just too many people on the tarmac,” Hirsch said. “They almost ran out of fuel.”
After that first arrival, the American forces were able to gain control — with a ratio of one Marine to a thousand people.
That wasn’t all they found at the airport.
“The airport was a treasure trove of stuff,” Hirsch recalled. “We would go and break open giant storage units — (thinking) the Taliban was going to get it so let’s mess with it. We found a storage unit of like 10,000 body armor plates and made defensive positions out of those.”
Hirsch said much of his memory of the days before the attack was a “blur” as he spent several days as part of the team guarding Abbey Gate inside the airport.
That is where this story gets more horrifying.
Witnessing ‘pure human evil’
The job of Hirsch and his fellow Marines at the airport sounded straightforward — maintain order and help the people get out. As it turns out, one was practically as challenging as the other.
“Our job was to find somehow certain passports and what’s legitimate and what’s a green card. We were given no visual aids, instructions were probably passed through 40 people. At times we had to be the bad guys, to turn people away. And you knew what was going to happen to them.
“The desperation was the worst. Seeing pure human evil — not even from the Taliban but from actual Afghani nationals that were trying to leave.
“It was desperation I’ve never heard of or seen. Guys would come up to you and just ask you to kill them because they didn’t want to be captured by the Taliban. They’d rather be killed by an American.”
Hirsch described one of the most sickening things he witnessed.
“I was working with a New Zealand guy — special operator — talking to this 15 or 16-year-old kid. We’re at Abbey Gate, right next to the canal. The kid’s holding a newborn child. I turn because my friend is yelling at me … I turn back and the kid’s not there. The New Zealand guy is screaming at this dude.
“I’m like what happened? ‘He threw that kid in the canal. It’s gone.’
“It just didn’t make any sense to me … we weren’t helping him fast enough, he thought that would get our attention.”
Pausing, he said “So that’s how that went down.”
Working with the Taliban, Hirsch added, was “interesting” as well.
“The worst thing I think we had to do was turn people away. You turn them away, and you would just hear the execution shots 10 minutes later. You could sometimes see what was going on; there was nothing you could do about it, you’d just have to sit there and watch.”
Hirsch said they caught an ISIS member at one of the terminals. Then, there was an episode where a man “was being extremely rude to everyone so we just handcuffed him and threw him back to the Taliban. I know what happened to him.”
Getting an average of 9,000 people processed per day — around 130,000 people got out those final weeks — was a Herculean task in itself. It was also done under the worst of conditions. The Marines were working at the gate next to a canal where “the water was black because of sewage runoff and other factors,” Hirsch said. “Most nights you would either sleep on a car, or you would have to sleep in the dirt, which would have human waste in it.
“The issue was personnel. We had to constantly be doing stuff. You’d get about a 2-hour nap and get back up and deal with the crowds.”
There may have been a huge shortage of sleep, but there was never a shortage of adrenaline.
“To be honest, it was like the funnest time of my life,” Hirsch said. “The adrenaline — the highest you’ll ever feel. Your body is just mentally focused; I would not get tired. There was gunfire 24/7 every day, (but) we were doing some good things.”
And perhaps most importantly of all to any Marine, he noted “you are with the guys.”
Lives were saved, too
For all the death and barbaric acts Hirsch witnessed in Kabul, he was also able to be a part of a countless number of life-saving experiences. With understandable pride, he recalled helping one family in particular.
“About a mid-20s female was talking to me, crying her eyes out, and had her father with him. He was probably in his 70s and he was the chief prosecutor with a big area — a guy who put away a lot of people who are now free.”
Obviously, that meant he had a lot of high-profile and very powerful enemies.
“She showed me all these photos, pictures of him with Green Berets and Navy Seals,” he said. “The reason I got her help was because she just wouldn’t stop. Eventually I was able to grab a DOS (Department of State) worker, who looked at all the photos, and he said ‘We’ll take them.'”
A long, nervous wait
By Aug. 26, the Marines had been told to shut down Abbey Gate — “shut it off completely and wrap it up.”
They never got the chance. Just a few hours later, the suicide bomber struck.
The attack quickly made international news. That made for a long, frightening wait for Hirsch’s family and loved ones back in northern California.
“From the moment we saw the media reports of an explosion at Abbey Gate, there was radio silence from Tristan, who we heard from regularly,” said Hirsch’s father, Steven Hirsch, a private investigator with the Butte County public defender’s consortium.
“We had picture-in-picture of CNN, Fox, MSNBC trying to catch up. It was a long period of time.”
Hirsch’s wife, Kayla, was going through the same thing. “When the explosion happened I was nervous because I didn’t hear from him,” she said.
A day — or maybe two — later, Hirsch was able to contact Kayla and let her know he had survived. She relayed the good news to Hirsch’s father Steven and Steven’s wife, a woman Tristan also calls “mom,” Clare Keithley, a Butte County Superior Court judge.
“Surprisingly,” Hirsch said, “you had (cell) service in Afghanistan.”
The long flight home
There’s a famous photo taken by Maj. Gen. Chris Donahue, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, on Aug. 31, 2021 showing he was the last American soldier to leave Afghanistan. Hirsch and his fellow Marines departed just one flight ahead of Donohue, with much less fanfare.
They left behind a lot of people who were still wishing they could leave — people who, as Hirsch noted, had been given ample advance warning that they needed to get out.
“We tried to get as many out as we could and just couldn’t get all of them,” he said. “We offered them a way out a year prior — ‘you can just fly out, we’ll take you.’ ‘No we’ll stay.’ Then the Taliban took over. I feel bad for them but … you waited too long.”
The Marines flew back to Kuwait after leaving Afghanistan, still a very stressful and emotional time for everyone involved.
“We got there right as the sun was coming up. We got all of our ammo out of the magazines, hundreds of thousands of rounds. No one even slept, we just waited to get on the plane that night and back to Saudi Arabia. The next 2-3 weeks, those were pretty rough for everyone.”
It was October before the Marines finally set foot on American soil again.
“We got home Oct. 6,” Hirsch recalled. “We landed in Baltimore, and 500 Marines drank every bar in the airport dry.”
The road still ahead
I asked Hirsch what was most important for him to convey to our readers — some message he wanted every American citizen to understand.
“I think a lot of people made it political,” he said. “You never know what would have happened if either person was in office. I think that’s something people don’t understand.”
Back in Chico, with his Marine service over as of May 20, 2022, Hirsch said he’s spending time in therapy and going to the Veterans Administration for support.
“If you don’t talk about things they just sort of get worse,” he said.
He’s also working with his father — “it’s nice to learn new things” — and plans on going back to college, likely in the spring to pursue a degree in business management and ultimately an MBA.
Hirsch does admit to missing parts of his military experiences: “Just being with the guys you went through your hardest battles with.” He said they Facetime “at least once a week,” talking about life.
He’s also spending time with his friends in Chico — people he said he “loves to death,” even if they might bring up his military experiences a bit more than he’d prefer at times.
“That was a period of time in our lives, but it’s not who defines you. We still have a life to live. I’m not trying to be rude or anything, but I don’t need to hear about it 24/7,” he said.
“It happened. It sucked. It’s over.”
And we should never forget it.
Honor our veterans. And be thankful for the lives these brave men and women allow us all to live.

Next weekend in New York City is Lollapuzzoola, the world’s best crossword tournament on a Saturday in August. I am hoping to attend it in person for the first time since 2019, but it’s not a certainty just yet. If you want to compete, they are holding it both as an in-person event on Aug. 27 and as a virtual tournament. Consider jumping in if you’ve never participated in one of these events before — it’s a lot of fun to hang out and chat with others solvers about the puzzles and anything else that interests you. Be warned that while most of the tournament puzzles will probably be fairly accessible, one of them is likely going to be very challenging, but that’s what everyone else is there for. Shared struggle brings people closer together.
There’s no theme today, but I picked a pair of 20-letter answers as a nod to the fact that it’s the 20th themeless puzzle I’ve published for The Post Magazine. I did the same thing with 18-letter answers in “Themeless No. 18” and a central 19-letter answer in “Themeless No. 19,” so take a wild guess what I’m aiming to do for “Themeless No. 21.”
- 23A: [Sweet and sour candies] is LEMON DROPS. I learned just now that they’re also vodka cocktails with a lemon flavor.
- 35A: [Milla Jovovich’s role in “The Fifth Element”] is LEELOO. I named my cat after her, but — let’s be honest — she’s got a ways to go before she attains status as a supreme being who can learn entire languages in a few days, beat up an entire room full of hostile aliens like a one-cat wrecking crew, and save the universe.
- 37A: [Local guy who “always thought he’d squander his life differently,” per a July 2019 headline in the Onion] is AREA MAN. It’s not an official rule, but there’s a good case to be made that whenever you have an answer that hints at the Onion, you’re required by law to include one of its headlines.
- 52A: [Event that may feature actors working on their lines for hours?] is TELETHON. That’s if it’s a celebrity telethon, although the celebrities typically aren’t the ones doing the work of taking down credit card information for confirming the donation. They’re often just there to give donors a simple thank-you message, but that may be enough to motivate donors to call in.
- 64A: ["Here’s one of my favorite scenes”] is “I LOVE THIS PART.” This is one of those conversational phrases that I randomly added to my word list a while back, never knowing exactly when I’d need it. I’d also added “I HATE THIS PART” and the grid might have accommodated that one too, but we’re sticking with a positive message here.
- 81A: [Beer/Pong venues] is BARCADES. Here’s a word I’ve grown to love ever since I first went to a barcade in Philadelphia over a decade ago. This is my favorite clue today, too.
- 84A: ["Through the Looking-Glass” character who suggests that Alice start as a pawn] is RED QUEEN. The animated Disney film from 1951 combined aspects of the Red Queen with the Queen of Hearts even though Lewis Carroll wrote them as two different characters. For instance, in the film, the Queen of Hearts scolds Alice by shouting, “Look up, speak nicely, and don’t twiddle your fingers!” But the Queen of Hearts doesn’t say that in “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Instead it’s the Red Queen who said it in “Through the Looking-Glass.”
- 93A: [All-around gymnastics gold medalist at the 2020 Olympics] is SUNI LEE. She’s also the first Hmong American to win Olympic gold.
- 97A: [6 of diamonds?] is SHORTSTOP. Now, I can imagine this clue might be a bit confusing if you don’t follow baseball closely. The “diamonds” is a fairly standard pun signal for baseball in crosswords, but the “6″ is less clear. The way it works is that each of the nine players in the field is referred to by a number from 1 to 9. The shortstop is 6. If you’ve ever heard the phrase “6-4-3 double play,” it means the shortstop (6) fields the ball after it was hit and throws to the second baseman (4), who then throws to the first baseman (3). It’s an inside joke that I realize might not land with every solver, but the phrase felt too on-the-nose for me to keep it out. It could even work for all positions, including the pitcher who’s numbered as 1. Even though there isn’t a 1 in a deck of cards, [Ace of diamonds?] could be a valid clue for PITCHER (assuming it’s a good pitcher).
- 100A: [Retrievers such as Prince William’s childhood dog Widgeon] is BLACK LABS. Here’s a picture of Widgeon, if you were curious.
- 104A: [___ Rocks (band that formed in Finland, not Vietnam as the name suggests)] is HANOI Rocks. I hadn’t heard of them before writing this puzzle. Here’s a music video of their song “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.”
- 4D: ["Out of the question!"] is “DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.” One of the two 20-letter answers in this puzzle.
- 11D: [Allsopp’s Arctic ___ (beer that sold for $503,300 on eBay in 2007)] is ALE. It’s true.
- 15D: ["Things really got out of hand fast”] is “THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY.” The second of the two 20-letter answers. This phrase owes its popularity to the film “Anchorman,” when Ron Burgundy said that after an all-out brawl between TV news reporters.
- 58D is ATTITUDE and right next to it at 59D is WHINING, both clued as [Complainer’s display]. Somehow the much more common crossword answer SASS didn’t end up in this puzzle to take one of those clues.
- 87D: [Home of goblin sharks and vampire squids] is DEEP SEA. Something else I learned from writing this puzzle: that goblin sharks and vampire squids exist.
- 88D: [Cornelis ___, inventor who built the first navigable submarine in 1620] is Cornelis DREBBEL. I’d never heard of him until now either, but he seemed like a genuinely fascinating person and his name bailed me out of a real jam. Some sources also credit Drebbel with inventing the world’s first thermostat, so I’m truly perplexed how he’s flown under my radar until today.
Finally, here’s a heads-up about next week’s crossword: It’s going to be somewhat complex. It has a metapuzzle and an extra feature that I have not done for The Post before, but I hope you will enjoy it.

WILMINGTON, Del. — During the demolition of a building to make way for the new Bancroft School in Wilmington, a piece of history was found buried in the school’s walls.
Whiting-Turner declined to comment leading up to the reveal of the capsule’s contents.
The discovery set off a frenzy on social media and led to speculation about what could have been preserved for the past 70 years.
“People have been trying to guess for days what may be inside the mysterious box found at the Drew building,” Dan Shelton, district superintendent, said in the days leading up to the reveal.
Everything was wrapped in newspapers, bound by since-rotted rubber bands.
The first item removed by Shelton was a miniature copy of the New Testament, which the superintendent recognized as Gideon’s version.
Among various paper clippings was a list of the members of the Wilmington Board of Education, school staff and student council members.
Also included was the first newspaper of the Drew School and an excerpt of meeting minutes from the Wilmington School Building Commission. It listed the total cost of construction of the previous building at $423,000.
The current construction project for the new Bancroft School taking the place of the Drew Education Building is set to cost around $84 million.
Newspaper clippings from the Wilmington Morning News and the Wilmington Sunday Star dating back to December 1953 were left in the time capsule.
Of most interest to the school board and the public were the multiple shrines to Charles Richard Drew, the legendary doctor and athlete to whom the old Drew Education Building was dedicated. Known for his groundbreaking research in preserving blood plasma, Drew was the first African American to earn a medical doctorate from Columbia University and a gifted athlete.
An article from the Saturday Evening Post about Drew was included in the time capsule, calling him “the best player I ever coached.” Also included inside was Drew’s first place medal for a 120-yard hurdle race from 1929-1930.
Shelton spoke about the significance of finding these pieces of history.
“He doesn’t have any ties to Delaware, but he was an African American doctor who made amazing progress in blood research,” Shelton said. “It’s important that we recognize those individuals that contributed to society that look like the students that are in our schools, and that’s what Charles Richard Drew was – he was one of those people for our students to aspire to be.”
Shelton also announced plans to build a new time capsule to pass along pieces of modern culture as the city undergoes its first school construction project in over 50 years. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/school-time-capsule-opening-reveals-pieces-of-history/2022/08/21/65c86e84-2151-11ed-a72f-1e7149072fbc_story.html | 2022-08-21T13:23:01Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/school-time-capsule-opening-reveals-pieces-of-history/2022/08/21/65c86e84-2151-11ed-a72f-1e7149072fbc_story.html | false |

ISTANBUL – Turkish authorities on Sunday investigated a pair of secondary crashes at emergency sites that killed at least 35 people the previous day. In both cases, first responders tending to earlier collisions were among the dead.
Saturday's tragedies happened just 250 kilometers (155 miles) apart in southern Turkey. The first happened on the highway between Gaziantep and Nizip when a passenger bus collided with emergency teams that had responded to a crash in Mardin Province, west of Derik.
Three firefighters, two paramedics and two journalists were among the 15 people killed, according to Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu, Eight of the victims were from the bus, he said.
The Ilhas News Agency said two of its journalists were killed after pulling over to offer help to people involved in the initial accident, in which a car came off the highway and slid down an embankment.
Television footage showed an ambulance with severe rear damage and the bus turned on its side along the highway. Gaziantep Gov. Davut Gul said 22 people were injured in the secondary crash.
The other incident happened late Saturday afternoon in Derik after the brakes of an articulated truck failed, causing it to crash into two other vehicles near a gas station.
As first responders worked at the scene and crowds gathered to watch, another truck lost control and ploughed into them.
Speaking from the site, Soylu said 20 people were killed and 26 injured. A police officer was among the victims, and two drivers were detained as an investigation was launched, he said.
Turkey has a poor record of road safety. Some 5,362 people died in traffic incidents last year, according to the government. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/08/21/turkey-crashes-at-emergency-sites-kill-at-least-35-people/ | 2022-08-21T13:35:36Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/08/21/turkey-crashes-at-emergency-sites-kill-at-least-35-people/ | true |
Dominguez 'worried' about tightness in arm, would be huge loss for Phillies originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
With 42 games to go in the regular season and their first postseason berth since 2011 on the line, the Phillies are staring at a potentially huge loss in their bullpen.
Seranthony Dominguez was not available for work in Saturday’s doubleheader against the New York Mets because of tightness in his right triceps.
Manager Rob Thomson revealed Dominguez’ issue after the Phillies beat the Mets, 4-1, in the nightcap. It was clear something was wrong with Dominguez when he did not come in to close the game. David Robertson worked the final two innings for the save.

Thomson said Dominguez complained of the tightness after playing catch Saturday morning. He had not pitched since allowing the game’s only run in a 1-0 loss at Cincinnati on Wednesday.
Sports
In partnership with NBC Sports Philadelphia
Dominguez, who had Tommy John surgery in the summer of 2020, admitted to being worried about the issue.
“Yeah, I feel really worried about it because it’s my arm,” he said. “Everything, I take it seriously because I’ve got to take care of my arm. It’s the only way that I can compete.”
Thomson said the Phillies would know more about Dominguez’ condition on Sunday. Dominguez said he would likely have an MRI in the coming days. Given the nature of the injury and Dominguez’ health history and importance to the team, it would not be surprising if the pitcher ended up on the injured list.
Dominguez has been one of the Phillies’ most valuable players this season, pitching in 46 games and recording a 1.64 ERA and nine saves.
Earlier in the week, the Phillies lost reliever Corey Knebel will a lat muscle strain. Knebel opened the season as the team’s closer until Dominguez took over in June.
The Phils have been tested by injury all season, the big one being Bryce Harper, who is expected to start a minor-league rehab assignment in the coming week and return to the lineup around September 1. Harper suffered a broken left thumb when he was hit by a pitch on June 25.
Second baseman Jean Segura missed 2 ½ months with a broken finger, pitcher Zach Eflin is down with a knee injury and Kyle Schwarber has recently been plagued by a calf strain.
Losing Dominguez would be another test for this club. And now that trade deadline pickup of Robertson is looking very smart. The veteran right-hander has plenty of experience as a closer and the Phillies are going to need it. | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/phillies/seranthony-dominguez-worried-about-tightness-in-arm-would-be-huge-loss-for-phillies/3341041/ | 2022-08-21T13:35:43Z | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/phillies/seranthony-dominguez-worried-about-tightness-in-arm-would-be-huge-loss-for-phillies/3341041/ | false |
Rescue crews are searching for a hiker in Utah after flash flooding
By Paradise Afshar, CNN
Rescuers continue searching for a hiker in southwestern Utah after a flash flood struck in a national park.
More than 20 people looked Saturday for Jetal Agnihotri of Tucson, Arizona, near the Virgin River in Zion National Park, according to park officials.
Rangers received a report Friday afternoon of multiple hikers being “swept off their feet” by a flash flood in the Narrows near the Temple of Sinawava, a media release from the park said.
“Park rangers and other members of the Zion Search and Rescue Team responded quickly to this event, and we are continuing our efforts,” said park superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh.
Rangers found an injured hiker who had been swept downstream several hundred yards, the release said. That person was taken to a hospital for treatment.
“Other rangers hiked up Riverside Walk and found several hikers who were isolated by high water on high ground,” the release said. “Rangers directed them to remain in place until water receded and then assisted them to safety.”
Rangers also interviewed groups of visitors exiting the Narrows and Riverside Walk to ensure they were not missing anyone, the release said. Officials later learned that Agnihotri was overdue from a trip in the Narrows.
The affected areas are closed to public access.
Several states are under flood watches through Sunday morning. Storms were forecast to shift into the southern Plains region and Louisiana over the weekend.

KING ABDULLAH SPORTS CITY, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Oleksandr Usyk kissed the blue-and-yellow flag of Ukraine and looked to the Saudi Arabian sky as he waited to discover if he had honored his war-torn country by retaining his world heavyweight titles.
When he heard the winning words “and still,” an emotional Usyk raised his left arm and pulled the flag over his face.
Six months ago, he was patrolling the streets of Kyiv with an automatic rifle and defending Ukraine from the invading Russians.
Here, inside the ring at King Abdullah Sport City arena, the still-undefeated Usyk had lived up to his billing as the sporting pride of Ukraine by beating Anthony Joshua in a closely fought rematch on Saturday to keep his WBA, WBO and IBF belts.
“I devote this victory to my country, to my family, to my team, to all the military defending this country,” the 35-year-old Usyk said through a translator. “Thank you very, very much.”
After a grueling five-month training camp, Usyk entered the arena in a blue-and-yellow top carrying the words “Colors of Freedom” and supported by words of encouragement from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his nightly video address to the nation.
“We stick together,” the president said. “We help each other. We restore what was destroyed. We fight for all our people. And we cheer for those who represent Ukraine, today — definitely for Usyk, our guy!”
And Usyk started as the favorite after outclassing Joshua in the first fight in London in September last year.
However, the British challenger, a former two-time champion, came into the rematch with a new game plan from his new trainer Robert Garcia: Attack Usyk’s body and keep the pressure on.
And it nearly worked, with Usyk taken to the limit in the ninth round as he was chased around the ring by Joshua, who landed combinations and targeted Usyk’s ribs.
Usyk took a deep breath at the bell, then came out hard in the 10th round, hurting Joshua with an early right hook and forcing him onto the ropes for the first time in the fight.
The battering of Joshua was sustained in the 11th while the 12th was evenly fought, the fight ending with both fighters — clearly exhausted — falling to their knees in front of each other on the canvas.
They embraced and Joshua appeared to offer his help to the plight of Ukraine.
Then, in an expletive-laden speech inside the ring after grabbing the microphone, Joshua — who moments earlier was seen picking up two of Usyk’s belts and throwing them to the canvas — hit back at his critics before praising Usyk for fighting so well in the circumstances.
“I was studying Ukraine and all the champions from your amazing country,” Joshua said. “I’ve never been there. What’s happening there, I don’t know but it’s not nice. For Usyk to be champion, under those circumstances, please raise your hands.”
Usyk was complimentary about Joshua, too.
“This is already history,” he said. “Many generations are going to watch this fight, especially the round when someone tried to beat me hard. But I stood up to it and turned it in a different way.”
Usyk also claimed the Ring Magazine belt with the win. There’s only one heavyweight title that Usyk doesn’t own — the WBC one that is about to be vacated by Tyson Fury, who says he is retired.
When asked about Fury, Usyk said: “I am sure Tyson Fury is not retired yet. I am sure Tyson Fury wants to fight me. If I’m not fighting Tyson Fury, I’m not fighting at all.”
Two judges gave it to Usyk, one 115-113 and the other 116-112. The other gave the fight to Joshua, 115-113.
Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion, fell to his third loss in 27 fights and his career is at a crossroads.
Where Usyk goes from now appears to depend on Fury.
Saudi state television published photographs showing Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman attending the fight. The 36-year-old son of King Salman, the crown prince has pushed for sporting events to come to the kingdom even as U.S. intelligence agencies believe he ordered the beheading and dismemberment of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

The FOX59 Weather Team has been tracking showers and strong thunderstorms through the weekend. Most of the activity on Saturday afternoon and evening stayed below the severe thunderstorm warning criteria. However, there was one tornado warning that was issued for northern Randolph County!
The warning was issued around 3:30 PM and the National Weather Service issued it because there were reports of a landspout tornado. A landspout’s rotation begins at ground level and not from a parent thunderstorm. They are typically weaker than a “normal” tornado spawned from a supercell thunderstorm. The survey indicated the landspout tornado was rated as an EF0 with estimated wind speeds at 70 MPH. There was roof damage to an outbuilding north of Winchester. The tornado warning lasted about 10 minutes.
The showers and thunderstorms from the overnight hours did pack-a-punch as they crossed over Indiana’s western border. They did produce gusty winds and downpours. More than a half inch of rain fell in Terre Haute and Bloomington since midnight Sunday. Radar estimates indicate more than two inches of rain fell within Clay and Owen counties south of the I-70 corridor.
Showers and a few thunderstorms are still possible today. The activity is going to be widely scattered and not a complete washout. Dry time will be in the mix with mostly cloudy skies. Highs will only reach into the upper 70s and lower 80s this afternoon.
Cloud cover will decrease overnight, and areas of fog may develop. The combination of mild air, light winds, and the recent rainfall will help with the formation of thick fog for Monday morning’s commute to work! Lows will fall into the mid-60s.
Central Indiana is going to dry out this week and temperatures will sharply rise by next weekend!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Aaliyah Manning’s dreams of becoming a psychologist ended abruptly during her freshman year at Potomac State in West Virginia when the cost of continuing her education became overwhelming.
“The money just wasn’t there,” she said. “I knew I wasn’t going to finish so I just had fun.”
After a year, Manning, 25, was back in the nation’s capital working fast food jobs. Now she lives largely on public assistance in a two-bedroom apartment with her boyfriend, his mother and his 9-year-old daughter from another relationship. She still has student debt and there’s a baby boy on the way.
She sees a brighter future for that baby, thanks to a landmark social program being pioneered in Washington. Called “Baby Bonds,” the program will provide children of the city’s poorest families with up to $25,000 when they reach adulthood. The money is to be used for a handful of purposes, including education.
“It would be such a different opportunity for him, a lot different than what I had,” Manning said of her soon-to-arrive baby.
In just over a decade, the Baby Bonds idea has moved from a fringe leftist concept to actual policy, with the District of Columbia as the first laboratory. Lawmakers from coast to coast are monitoring the experiment, one that proponents say could reshape America’s growing wealth gap in a single generation if instituted on a federal level.
One week after giving birth to her second child, a daughter named Kali, Aaliyah Wright told The Associated Press that she did not anticipate having much savings to help her children when they reached adulthood, especially with about $80,000 in student loan debt.
She and her husband, Kainan, are on Medicaid despite steady jobs (she’s a case worker at a nongovernmental organization and he’s a barber) and an estimated annual income of about $70,000.
Even at that income level, their new daughter still would qualify for the city’s Baby Bonds program, although at a lower level.
“At that stage of maturity and adulthood, that money can be a door opener to some pretty big things,” Kainan Wright said
Despite the name, the bonds are more accurately trust funds, designed to provide a boost of capital at a critical time in the lives of the country’s poorest children. At age 18, each enrolled child would receive a large lump sum payment that can be used to pay for higher education, invest in a business or make a down payment on a home.
“Think about all the things that people with money do to support themselves or what parents do for kids,” said Kenyan McDuffie, a District of Columbia Council member who pushed through Washington’s Baby Bonds program last summer. The clock started ticking in October and as of mid-August the city has so far identified 833 babies born since then who will receive up to $25,000 when they turn 18.
“Think about all those young folks who are going to be here in a city trapped in poverty, graduated from high schools turning 18,” McDuffie said. “And then having an account with money in it for them.”
It’s an expensive and long-simmering investment that by definition will take a generation of sustained political willpower to truly bear fruit. The district’s program will cost $32 million for the first four years alone.
The idea was originally proposed in 2010 by academics William Darity and Darrick Hamilton as a way to break the poverty cycle by giving children of poor families a chance to build long-term equity — either actual property, a stake in a business or the earning potential that comes from higher education.
It came to mainstream attention when Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., made it a centerpiece of his 2020 presidential campaign.
“I think it’s an idea that’s growing,” Booker told the AP. “And it’s a big idea. It’s on the level of Social Security. It’s on the level of Medicare. One generation would create a dramatic change.”
But for politicians, the price tag can be daunting. Booker’s national plan envisioned annual costs of $60 billion, something he proposes financing by raising taxes on the wealthy.
For now, the Washington experiment will be closely watched by other state and local governments, with Baby Bonds proposals recently emerging in Wisconsin and Washington state and Massachusetts studying the issue. California just created a more targeted version, with Baby Bonds funds specifically for children who lost parents to COVID-19.
Manning and her boyfriend, Darren Gibson, say the expectation that their child will be part of the district’s first Baby Bonds generation is a much needed injection of hope. Gibson, 26, left high school three credits short of graduation. Now he’s the sole earner for his growing household, making less than $10,000 per year as a videographer shooting music videos for local artists.
“It takes such a burden off my shoulders,” he said. Gibson said he will raise his son to make good use of that money when he matures. “It’s on me to work on him and make sure he follows his ambitions.”
The concept’s journey from academic thought experiment to on-the-ground policy received a major boost from the national conversation on poverty brought on by the pandemic. The economic iniquities exposed by COVID-19 fueled calls for a new approach to the cycle of generational poverty. And the Baby Bonds concept, already familiar from Booker’s campaign, gained fresh momentum with multiple proposals receiving serious consideration at a state level.
But most of them have failed to see daylight.
Gov. Phil Murphy, D-N.J., made headlines in 2020 for backing a Baby Bonds proposal. But the Legislature stripped it out of his budget, and Murphy did not propose it again.
In June 2021, Connecticut’s legislature approved the country’s first state-level Baby Bonds program. But in May of this year, lawmakers, in coordination with the governor’s office, chose to delay the program’s start by two years.
That makes Washington, D.C., the first real test case.
Connecticut’s treasurer, Shawn Wooden, who championed the program, said he was surprised and disappointed by the delay in his own state but remains convinced that the policy’s time has come.
“There’s quite the level of interest in this, and always with these things we need what we call first movers,” Wooden said. For the concept to spread, “there needs to be success in Connecticut. There needs to be success in the District of Columbia.”
Wooden has discussed Baby Bonds with members of President Joe Biden’s domestic policy team. McDuffie’s office has fielded queries from multiple state governments.
The concept is new enough that it’s still being tinkered with in real time, with multiple models and internal debates among advocates on issues such as how best to determine eligibility. Washington’s program is so new that the 833 families who have qualified have not been informed yet and will not be until the city hires a fund manager.
Connecticut’s will automatically enroll any newborn from a family on the state’s Medicaid program. Booker’s proposal would have sidestepped that issue by granting every child born in the country a Baby Bonds fund and $1,000 in seed money. Then, all subsequent payments into the fund would have been heavily weighted toward poorer families.
Washington’s program is open to families on Medicaid who make less than 300% of the federal poverty line, meaning earnings of up to about $83,250 for a family of four. With those parameters, it is designed to benefit not only the impoverished but also families like the Wrights who might be considered lower-middle class.
At their income level, their daughter will receive closer to $15,000 instead of the $25,000 limit.
There is one inevitable quirk in the system: Any Baby Bonds program has to set a start date that excludes anyone born before it. In the case of the Wright family, Kali, would receive benefits but her older bother, Khaza, would not. Aaliyah Wright was fine with that.
“OK, so I know my future is set for one child,” said Wright. “So now I need to really focus on making things work for him.”
There are differences among plans in the size of the final payout. Booker’s proposal would have paid about $46,000 to children of the poorest families, while the district expects to pay out a maximum of $25,000. Connecticut’s plan would pay an estimated $13,000 — something Wooden described as “pretty much the floor” for a serious attempt at a Baby Bonds program.
Naomi Zewde, an assistant professor in health economics at the City University of New York who conducted a 2019 analysis of the concept, set the lowest impactful payment at $15,000.
“It has to be a sum of money that’s kind of outside what people would normally come across,” she said.
Zewde’s analysis suggested that a nationwide federal Baby Bonds program would massively reduce the racial wealth gap between white and Black Americans in a single generation, even as it boosted both races.
Currently the median wealth of young white Americans stands at $46,000, compared with $2,900 for Black Americans.
For a Baby Bonds program to succeed, it has to be on a national level and have strong popular support, advocates said.
Darity, a Duke professor who co-authored the original Baby Bonds proposal, points to Britain, which instituted a similar program called the child trust fund in 2005. But the program was discontinued and all future payments halted in 2010 in a government austerity campaign.
“I think the assessment in England was that they had not built grassroots support for the policy when they started it,” he said. “So there wasn’t any strong resistance to eliminating the plan.”
In the United States, the program already has been strongly endorsed by prominent liberal organizations such as the Urban Institute and Prosperity Now.
But there are detractors.
Veronique de Rugy, a senior research fellow at George Mason University’s Mercatus Center, said the one-way nature of the deposits, with no mechanism for the families themselves to add money, “does nothing to encourage the culture of savings.”
She added that the program could tie up millions that could be used to address immediate societal conditions that also help feed the cycle of poverty.
“A lot of these kids are still going to be stuck in bad schools,” she said.
Michael Strain, an economist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, says Baby Bonds advocates will struggle to persuade lawmakers around the country to make such an expensive commitment. “I absolutely think it’s a hard sell,” he said. “The 18-year lag is less of a political obstacle than the price tag.”
Wooden rejected the perception of Baby Bonds as having no payoff for 18 years, saying the benefits will be immediate and measurable. That nest egg, he said, will inspire real-time changes in planning, academic achievement and overall ambition in both children and families.
“There is a high value that should be placed on hope,” he said. “We know what hopelessness looks like in our communities.
Manning, the young expectant mother in Washington, said the knowledge that the money was waiting for her son would change how her family talks about his future.
“It would be much more focused,” she said. “‘Do you know what you want to do? What are your plans?’”

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Somali authorities on Sunday ended a deadly attack in which 21 people were killed and dozens more wounded when gunmen stormed a hotel in the capital.
It took Somali forces more than 30 hours to contain the fighters who had stormed Mogadishu's Hayat Hotel on Friday evening in an assault that started with loud explosions.
The siege ended around midnight, police commissioner Abdi Hassan Hijar told reporters. "During the attack, the security forces rescued many civilians trapped in the hotel, including women and children," he said.
Health Minister Dr. Ali Haji Adam reported 21 deaths and 117 people wounded, with at least 15 in critical condition. He noted that some victims may not have been brought to hospitals.
Police are yet to give a detailed explanation of how the attack unfolded and it remains unclear how many gunmen entered the hotel.
Ismail Abdi, the hotel's manager, told The Associated Press early Sunday that security forces were still working to clear the area. No more gunfire could be heard after 9 a.m. local time. Onlookers gathered outside the gates of the badly damaged hotel on Sunday morning, surveying the scene.
The Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, which has ties with al-Qaida, claimed responsibility for the attack, the latest of its frequent attempts to strike places visited by government officials.
Al-Shabab opposes the federal government and the outsiders who support it.
The attack on the hotel is the first major terror incident in Mogadishu since Somalia's new leader, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, took over in May.
Somalia's previous president, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, avoided any major confrontation with al-Shabab. But Mohamud has said his government will take the offensive against the group's thousands of fighters, with the backing of returning U.S. forces.
Al-Shabab charged via its Andalus radio station that the attack on the hotel was in response to Mohamud's assertion that he would eliminate the group from Somalia.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack, according to a spokesman's statement that said the U.N. supports the people of Somalia "in their fight against terrorism and their march towards peace."
Al-Shabab remains the most lethal Islamic extremist group in Africa.
The group has seized even more territory in recent years, taking advantage of rifts among Somali security personnel as well as disagreements between the government seat in Mogadishu and regional states. It remains the biggest threat to political stability in the volatile Horn of Africa nation.
Forced to retreat from Mogadishu in 2011, al-Shabab is slowly making a comeback from the rural areas to which it retreated, defying the presence of African Union peacekeepers as well as U.S. drone strikes targeting its fighters.
The militants in early May attacked a military base for AU peacekeepers outside Mogadishu, killing many Burundian troops. The attack came just days before the presidential vote that returned Mohamud to power five years after he had been voted out.

There is no dispute about some evidence in the trial of two men accused of eagerly wanting to kidnap Michigan's governor: They enjoyed getting high.
From start to finish, the jury repeatedly has heard about marijuana in the case of Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr., who are charged with conspiring to abduct Gretchen Whitmer as part of an anti-government uprising in 2020.
It has been cited by defense lawyers to reinforce their depiction of Fox and Croft as “big talkers” who sometimes said outrageous things when they had been smoking pot. Marijuana use by adults has been legal in Michigan since 2018.
A jury in Grand Rapids, Michigan, will hear closing arguments Monday, when defense lawyers will likely talk about it again.
Defense attorney Joshua Blanchard set the tone soon after jurors settled into the box on Aug. 10, saying Croft was “frankly high on marijuana all the time” and was described by some as a “stoner pirate kind-of whack nut” in a tri-cornered colonial hat.
The Delaware trucker's girlfriend confirmed Croft's regular marijuana use during her brief appearance in the witness chair. An investigator was asked Friday to read aloud a text message he had sent to an informant who was inside the group of extremists.
“Too much pot,” John Penrod of the Delaware state police said.
Prosecutors have presented evidence of Fox saying he wanted to “hog-tie” Whitmer and even take her out to Lake Michigan in a boat. Croft wrote on social media about hanging governors for treason.
Their attorneys are arguing entrapment by government agents, not some type of diminished capacity defense. But Henry Scharg, a Detroit-area lawyer, said references to marijuana can be an effort to show a jury that their judgments were very cloudy.
“You're in an altered state. When you say things, you don't really mean it,” said Scharg, who's not involved in the trial. “I don't think it's a really strong defense, but sometimes you're looking for a juror as a holdout, something to rest their position on. Throw it out. Maybe the fish will bite.”
Indeed, this is the second trial for Fox and Croft after a jury in April couldn't reach a unanimous verdict. Two other men were acquitted, while two more pleaded guilty and testified for the government.
Fox's attorney, too, has referred to marijuana when questioning witnesses about key moments in 2020.
Dan Chappel, the most important FBI informant in the case, recalled how he and Fox drove to Elk Rapids, Michigan, to scout Whitmer's lakeside vacation home. He said Fox smoked marijuana throughout the day, even sharing with a stranger while assessing things at a Birch Lake boat launch.
“Adam Fox routinely smoked marijuana in your presence, true? At almost every meeting you were at, correct?" Christopher Gibbons asked.
“He did smoke, yes,” Chappel replied.
Croft, 46, is from Bear, Delaware. Fox, 39, was living in the basement of a vacuum shop in the Grand Rapids area.
Prosecutors haven't made much of their drug habits. Mark Schweers, an undercover FBI agent who posed as a like-minded rebel, said marijuana was smoked when he met with Fox and members of a paramilitary group.
“Did you use marijuana?” Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher O'Connor asked.
"That would not be permitted," said Schweers, who drank beer instead.

HAMBURG, Pa. -- A new exhibit is chugging through the Reading Railroad Heritage Museum in Hamburg.
The "Lego Train Days" display features the "Brick Reading Railroad."
It includes five running trains with a full five-car Reading Crusader train.
The large display is the work of a local high school senior.
"This is my brick railroad. It encompasses the Reading Railroad from the steam generation to the end of diesel with the Franklin Street Station and the Crusader, which is coming by. The Crusader is one of the main features of my layout," said Zachary Kauffman.
Also on display is a world class collection of trains produced by Lego through more than 80 years.

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) — First lady Jill Biden has tested negative for COVID-19 and will leave South Carolina, where she had isolated since vacationing with President Joe Biden, and rejoin him at their Delaware beach home, her office said Sunday.
The White House announced on Tuesday that the 71-year-old first lady, who like her husband has been twice-vaccinated and twice-boosted with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, had tested positive for the coronavirus. She first had symptoms on Monday.
The 79-year-old president recovered from a rebound case of the virus on Aug. 7.
Jill Biden was prescribed the antiviral drug Paxlovid and isolated at the Kiawah Island vacation home for five days before receiving negative results from two consecutive COVID-19 tests, spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander said. Jill Biden planned to travel to Delaware later Sunday. | https://www.wfla.com/community/health/coronavirus/jill-biden-tests-negative-for-covid-19-will-go-to-delaware/ | 2022-08-21T14:14:02Z | https://www.wfla.com/community/health/coronavirus/jill-biden-tests-negative-for-covid-19-will-go-to-delaware/ | false |

When Kristin Martin found out her husband was being transferred to Naval Base San Diego, securing housing for their family of five quickly took over her life.
On-base housing wasn’t an option — the waitlist for a four-bedroom home in the neighborhoods they qualified for was 14 to 16 months.
Neither were the military-only hotels near base where new arrivals can pay low rates as they get their bearings — those were full, too.
So Martin cast a wide net across San Diego and started applying for rental homes, all sight unseen.
“I was waking up and the first thing I was doing was looking at properties,” Martin said. “I was looking at it midday, before I went to bed. I had alerts set. It became a full-time job.”
More than 30 rental applications later and hundreds of dollars in application fees down the drain, the Martins finally found a home.
But there were caveats. They’d have to start paying rent a month before they actually moved. And, at $4,200 per month, their rent was nearly $700 more than the monthly basic allowance for housing, known as the BAH, that her husband, a lieutenant, receives.
“We’ll probably be here two or three years, so that could be $20,000 that we’re paying out of pocket above BAH just for rent,” Martin said after completing her family’s fourth move in 15 years last month.
“It’s affecting us personally but then I think about how we were a junior enlisted family at one point. I cannot imagine the struggles (they) are going through.”
Housing has long been a major benefit for service members, a subsidy to salaries that trail the private sector. But, amid record-breaking spikes in rent, the Department of Defense has neglected its commitment to help military families find affordable places to live, service members and housing activists say.
That’s forced many to settle for substandard homes, deal with extremely long commutes or pay thousands out of pocket they hadn’t budgeted for.
“We have families coming to us that are on exorbitantly lengthy waiting lists and sitting in homes that they can’t afford, like an Airbnb rental, or they’re at a hotel or camping in tents or living in RVs,” said Kate Needham, a veteran who co-founded the nonprofit Armed Forces Housing Advocates in May 2021.
“I don’t think civilians really understand — they might think we’re living in free housing and just having a great time, making lots of money. And that’s not the case at all.”
Needham’s group supplies microgrants to military families in need, some of whom have resorted to food banks because their salaries do not cover such basics.
Reports of the housing squeeze military families face has alarmed members of Congress, who are pushing legislation that would force the Department of Defense to rethink how it handles housing.
A common complaint is that with rents soaring nationwide, the housing allowances, which vary by rank and are recalculated annually, haven’t kept pace with rental markets, even though they’re supposed to cover 95% of rental costs for the approximately two-thirds of active-duty personnel who, like the Martins, have to live off base.
According to a data analysis by The Associated Press of five of the most populous military bases in the U.S., housing allowances across all ranks have risen an average of 18.7% since January 2018. In that span, according to real estate company Zillow, rents have skyrocketed 43.9% in those markets: Carlsbad, California; Colorado Springs, Colorado; El Paso, Texas; Killeen, Texas, and Tacoma, Washington.
And because of how tough off-base markets are, on-base housing has become a hot commodity, with many bases having long waitlists.
Needham argues that the discrepancy between military housing allowances and the current market should alarm officials who are already struggling to recruit the next generation.
“If you can’t afford your job, why the hell would you stay in the job?” Needham said. “People are feeling abused by the military in so many different areas — the sexual assault issues, the lack of attention to medical care, the lack of attention to mental health. This is just another tick in the box that’s like, ‘Why would I join the military?’ And if you don’t have enough numbers, that’s a long-term national security problem.”
The Department of Defense did not comment on whether housing issues have become a retention concern. But defense officials said military housing offices monitor markets and offer tools to assist families, including referral services to help find “suitable, affordable housing, whether on or off-base.”
“The Department of Defense is committed to ensuring that service members and their families have access to affordable, quality housing within a reasonable commute of their assigned duty station,” it said.
At MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, housing allowances used to be in line with the local market. In January 2020, a senior airman without dependents received a monthly housing stipend of $1,560, compared to the typical Tampa-area rent price of $1,457, according to Zillow. But since then rent prices have exploded to $2,118 per month in July, while a senior airman’s housing allowance is currently $1,647.
With such a discrepancy and those living off-base facing notoriously long commutes, it’s no wonder that nearly all of MacDill’s 572 homes are full. As of last week, the base was at 95% capacity with a waitlist of 548 families, according to 2nd Lt. Kristin Nielsen, a MacDill public affairs officer.
“We are woefully underhoused,” said Stephanie Poynor, a Tampa property manager and wife of a retired serviceman. “The DoD needs to recognize how much our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coasties are really suffering in this market.”
Tampa real estate agent Renee Thompson, a relocation specialist, said it’s common for service members to rent homes that are an hour’s drive away from base.
“No homes in today’s market will even come close to the service member’s BAH,” said Thompson, who served in the Army. “It’s really disheartening.”
Nielsen said the annual housing allowance calculation takes six to nine months, making it a “lagging indicator of the current dynamic housing market.”
Officials are looking into adding on-base and off-base housing for MacDill, which has about 18,500 active-duty service members, she said. But because of the need for congressional budgetary approval, such long-term solutions are years away.
Even at rural Idaho’s Mountain Home Air Force Base, housing is extremely hard to come by, hampered by its location about 50 miles (80 kilometers) outside of Boise, one of the country’s hottest markets.
Col. Jamaal Mays, the 366th Fighter Wing commander for support, said housing allowances have increased, but not enough to keep pace with the spiking prices.
Brand new airmen are normally housed in dorms on base for about 36 months, but because demand for on-base housing is so high, they often only spend 18 to 20 months.
“They’re being pushed out on the local economy before they’re ready,” Mays said.
With few options, Mays said some airmen have started living in RV parks or moving much further away, including to Twin Falls, where they face commutes of up to two hours on sometimes snowy roads, hardly ideal if they have to respond to a base emergency, not to mention the fuel costs, he said.
Last fall, defense officials issued temporary BAH increases for October to December 2021 in 56 housing markets — including Mountain Home and Tampa. Yet even though rents have continued to rise, there’s no indication a similar bump is coming this fall.
Even if housing allowances do see a bump in January, that could end up taking away food-stamp eligibility for some military families who are struggling with food insecurity. That’s because the Agriculture Department counts BAH as income when determining a family’s eligibility for the SNAP government assistance program.
Frustrated by what she called the Defense Department’s lack of transparency into housing allowance calculations, U.S. Rep. Marilyn Strickland, D-Wash., has introduced a measure that would give the department one year to reexamine its process and report on how accurate the current system is.
BAH is like an “algorithm that needs updating on a regular basis,” said Strickland, whose district includes the massive Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, where many military families struggle to find affordable homes. Her proposal is part of the national defense bill that passed the House in July and is awaiting Senate approval.
“The vast majority of people live off post, so this is incredibly urgent,” she said.

LONDON (AP) — Almost 2,000 workers at the U.K.’s biggest container port will launch an eight-day strike Sunday over a pay dispute, the latest industrial action to hit the U.K. economy.
Workers including crane drivers and machine operators will walk off their jobs at Felixstowe port on England’s east coast, which handles around 4 million containers a year from 2,000 ships.
The strike comes as people across the U.K. faced travel disruptions Saturday for the third day this week as thousands of rail workers continued a summer of strikes to seek better pay and job security amid soaring food and energy price hikes.
Only around one in five U.K. trains were expected to run on Saturday, with some areas having no services all day. Soccer and cricket fans attending sports games, as well as tourists, were among those affected. The disruptions will continue into Sunday, and union leaders say more strikes are likely.
On Friday, most of London’s underground subway lines did not run due to a separate strike.
The Unite union alleges that Felixstowe port’s parent company, CK Hutchison Holding Ltd., prioritized profits instead of paying workers a decent wage.
Port authorities, for their part, said they were “disappointed” that Unite did not “come to the table for constructive discussions to find a resolution.”
Felixstowe handles almost half of the container freight entering the country. The strike could mean vessels have to be diverted to ports elsewhere in the U.K. or Europe.
A growing number of unions are planning strikes as Britain faces its worst cost-of-living crisis in decades. Latest figures put inflation at 10.1% — a 40-year-high — and increasing numbers of Britons are struggling to cope with steeply rising energy and food bills as wages fail to catch up with the cost of living.
Postal workers, lawyers, British Telecom staff and garbage collectors have all announced walkouts for later this month.
Rail workers began a series of large-scale strikes that grounded national train travel in June, demanding better pay and working conditions as authorities try to reform the rail system, which has lost large chunks of its income due to the coronavirus pandemic and shifting commuting patterns.
The government and transit unions have not reached a resolution despite months of talks. | https://www.kark.com/news/business/workers-at-uks-largest-container-port-to-join-rail-strikes/ | 2022-08-21T14:18:24Z | https://www.kark.com/news/business/workers-at-uks-largest-container-port-to-join-rail-strikes/ | true |
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Results from eight of nine Kansas counties that recounted ballots found fewer than 35 changed votes from the Aug. 2 election, when voters soundly rejected a proposed amendment that would have removed abortion rights from the state’s constitution.
The counties faced a 5 p.m. Saturday deadline to complete the hand recounts of ballots cast on Aug. 2. Eight counties finished on time but Sedgwick County officials said they would not meet the deadline.
Posted results for the eight counties found a total of 13 fewer votes for those favoring tighter abortion restrictions and 19 fewer votes for those wanting to keep existing abortion rights. Election officials attributed the changes to human error, such as voters making unclear marks on ballots.
A Sedgwick County spokeswoman said Saturday that after the counting was complete, the election commissioner found things she wanted to check again. It was unclear what the problems were or when the county would finish its recount.
The nine counties were required to hand recount the votes at the request of two anti-abortion activists who questioned election procedures but did not provide proof of any specific problems.
Initial statewide tallies showed the proposed amendment, which would have removed protections for abortion rights from the Kansas Constitution and allowed the Legislature to further restrict abortion or ban it, failed by 18 percentage points, or 165,000 votes.
Votes were recounted in Douglas County, home to the University of Kansas’ main campus; Johnson County, in suburban Kansas City; Sedgwick County, home to Wichita; Shawnee County, home to Topeka; and Crawford, Harvey, Jefferson, Lyon and Thomas counties. Abortion opponents lost all of those counties except Thomas. | https://www.kark.com/news/national/little-change-in-kansas-abortion-recall-1-county-not-done/ | 2022-08-21T14:18:45Z | https://www.kark.com/news/national/little-change-in-kansas-abortion-recall-1-county-not-done/ | true |

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Somali authorities on Sunday ended a deadly attack in which 21 people were killed and dozens more wounded when gunmen stormed a hotel in the capital.
It took Somali forces more than 30 hours to contain the fighters who had stormed Mogadishu's Hayat Hotel on Friday evening in an assault that started with loud explosions.
The siege ended around midnight, police commissioner Abdi Hassan Hijar told reporters. "During the attack, the security forces rescued many civilians trapped in the hotel, including women and children," he said.
Health Minister Dr. Ali Haji Adam reported 21 deaths and 117 people wounded, with at least 15 in critical condition. He noted that some victims may not have been brought to hospitals.
Police are yet to give a detailed explanation of how the attack unfolded and it remains unclear how many gunmen entered the hotel.
Ismail Abdi, the hotel's manager, told The Associated Press early Sunday that security forces were still working to clear the area. No more gunfire could be heard after 9 a.m. local time. Onlookers gathered outside the gates of the badly damaged hotel on Sunday morning, surveying the scene.
The Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, which has ties with al-Qaida, claimed responsibility for the attack, the latest of its frequent attempts to strike places visited by government officials.
Al-Shabab opposes the federal government and the outsiders who support it.
The attack on the hotel is the first major terror incident in Mogadishu since Somalia's new leader, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, took over in May.
Somalia's previous president, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, avoided any major confrontation with al-Shabab. But Mohamud has said his government will take the offensive against the group's thousands of fighters, with the backing of returning U.S. forces.
Al-Shabab charged via its Andalus radio station that the attack on the hotel was in response to Mohamud's assertion that he would eliminate the group from Somalia.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack, according to a spokesman's statement that said the U.N. supports the people of Somalia "in their fight against terrorism and their march towards peace."
Al-Shabab remains the most lethal Islamic extremist group in Africa.
The group has seized even more territory in recent years, taking advantage of rifts among Somali security personnel as well as disagreements between the government seat in Mogadishu and regional states. It remains the biggest threat to political stability in the volatile Horn of Africa nation.
Forced to retreat from Mogadishu in 2011, al-Shabab is slowly making a comeback from the rural areas to which it retreated, defying the presence of African Union peacekeepers as well as U.S. drone strikes targeting its fighters.
The militants in early May attacked a military base for AU peacekeepers outside Mogadishu, killing many Burundian troops. The attack came just days before the presidential vote that returned Mohamud to power five years after he had been voted out.

ESGEN Acquisition Corp Quarterly Report (Form10)

Five years ago, Mike Noel was newly retired from his manufacturing job in Rhode Island and had just gone through a rough divorce.
"I hooked up my boat and headed down here, without having a place to live," he recalls in the living room of his home near Vero Beach, Fla.
Noel used most of his modest retirement savings to buy the house at Heritage Plantation, a mobile home park 20 minutes from the ocean. The homes here look more like conventional houses than what you might think of as a mobile home. They're up on foundations and have yards and driveways.
"I thought I was moving to paradise – you know, beautiful weather and being able to fish 12 months a year."
His new place wasn't like the large house he owned in Rhode Island, and the floor needed repairs. But the price was affordable and it offered the promise of a new start.
And then it started to rain.
"I'm talking about those typical Florida thunderstorms you get, where you get a 15- to 20-minute downpour."
When those rains came, Noel found out the streets in the park flooded, for hours or sometimes days. At first he didn't worry too much about it. "But by the tenth time it flooded, I had started reaching my limits," he says, because at times the water was a foot deep, sometimes even two. "It was like, holy crap," he remembers, "this is not good!"
Floods and a slimy residue
Residents in the park say the streets have been flooding after normal rainfall for 20 years, due to an antiquated and broken stormwater drainage system.
They say the water has damaged their homes and is often deep enough that people get trapped in their houses. Some are elderly. They say emergency vehicles have refused to respond to calls due to the flooding.
"The people across the street are in their 90s," says Noel. "I know people that couldn't get to their chemotherapy appointments."
To make matters worse, residents say when the water eventually recedes it leaves behind a slimy residue that people slip and fall on.
"The slime never goes away," says Stanley Paxton, a 79-year-old resident who slipped on the street in 2018 and landed in the hospital for shoulder surgery. "I was just walking my dog," he says. "Next thing I know my left foot goes out from underneath me... and I hit the pavement with my shoulder."
Mobile homes are one of the last options for affordable home ownership
Residents say there have been other problems beyond the broken drainage system– electrical wiring issues, potholes, and bad lighting that's caused people to trip and get hurt on the park's dark roads at night.
A group of residents have now organized and filed a lawsuit detailing all these problems against the park's owner, a company called Equity Lifestyle Partners, or ELS. The group alleges that ELS has ignored their complaints over the years, and failed to fix the broken stormwater drainage system. ELS denies wrongdoing.
What these residents say they are dealing with may be part of a bigger problem that goes far beyond any one park or landlord.
Millions of Americans live in mobile home parks – one of the nation's last options for affordable homeownership.
But in recent years, big companies have been buying up mobile home parks. And critics say some are making hundreds of millions of dollars in profits collecting and raising rents on their typically lower-income residents, without spending enough money on even basic maintenance and upkeep.
Allegations from residents at parks around the country, owned by ELS or other companies, have ranged from persistent sewage backups to drinking water and power outages. Other claims include aggressive eviction policies and unfair business practices.
Mobile in name only: Once installed mobile homes are hard to move
"They're taking advantage of a group of people that really don't have the resources to fight against it," says Beth Fegan, an attorney representing the residents at the park in Vero Beach.
Feeling they were running out of options, residents started looking for a lawyer. They found Fegan.
She was known for fighting a different kind of battle – the harassment and assault cases that became the "Me too" movement.
Among her clients were victims of Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
But, she took the residents' case and sued ELS in federal court. Fegan says the company's failure to fix the stormwater system violates the promise it makes in the park's prospectus for residents. And she says the problems here go beyond this individual case.
"We're trying to right a wrong that we see that is systemic in an industry, and really use it as an example," she says, "To let the industry know we're going to come after them."
While buying a manufactured home offers the promise of home ownership, residents of mobile home parks don't have the same independence and economic power that owners of traditional homes do.
For one thing, the homes are mobile in name only. Once they're trucked in and assembled, it's difficult and expensive to move them. It can also be prohibitively expensive to find another place to live. Manufactured housing households had a median income of less than $35,000 in 2019, according to the American Housing Survey.
"The park knows that they cannot pick up their home and leave," Fegan says. "And so these complaints have really just gone ignored."
Since the homeowners don't own the lot the home sits on, that can leave them vulnerable to the decisions of their landlords when it comes to maintenance, rent increases and even eviction.
ELS says homeowners are free to sell their homes, and many do
Basically Fegan describes it as a classic David vs Goliath power imbalance. On the one side are lower-income residents, while their landlords are often big businesses.
ELS is a multi-billion dollar, publicly traded company that lists about 200 mobile home parks in its portfolio. It also owns RV parks and marinas. Its net income was about $263 million last year.
Fegan says if corporate landlords decide to squeeze out more profits by, as she sees it, neglecting their residents, they need to be held accountable.
"If they don't put the money in to maintain the infrastructure in these parks," she says, "we're willing to take on that fight."
The manager at the ELS park said she couldn't talk to NPR reporters. And no one from the company would agree to an interview. But ELS spokeswoman Jennifer Ludovice says in a statement to NPR that the lawsuit misrepresents conditions at the park and that the company, "invest[s] in the maintenance of the community to ensure it remains a desirable neighborhood."
Ludovice says homeowners are free to sell their homes if they want to and often do.
The company also says the suit, "involves only three out of approximately 650 residents in the community." But that's not really true.
Technically, there are three plaintiffs, but documents show 27 residents signed court papers in support of the lawsuit getting class action status. Fegan says more than 75 answered questionnaires to help her with the case.
There are, though, some residents who question the lawsuit.
Mixed views on the lawsuit
"I'm not an advocate, per se, for ELS," says Dick Bruce, a former head of the park's homeowners' association. "I'm just going to say that they're not as bad as what some folks will make it sound like."
Bruce and his wife, Jean, who are retired, worry that if they force the company to spend a lot of money fixing the flooding problems, it will raise their lot rents more than it otherwise would.
"I'm not saying I don't want the flooding fixed, but we need to be aware of what we are asking for and what we may get," Jean Bruce says, "We're on a fixed income, but we've seen our rent go up every year."
And the Bruces say ELS more recently has been making some major repairs to its stormwater system.
Company spokeswoman Ludovice says the company has spent more than $300,000 improving the stormwater system over the last three years and that three former homeowners association officers are on the record saying the system functions as it should.
But Fegan sent NPR photos of flooded streets which she says were taken recently, in July, after a hard rain.
Some residents say there's still a flooding problem and that it seemed to them that major repairs only started after the homeowners began organizing and meeting with lawyers.
Black mold, rotted beams and floorboards
Residents also say that over the years the flooding has caused a lot of damage.
"The ground here is very wet in this place, it's soaked, it never goes away," says Michael Frawley. His mother lived in a home in the park for 23 years. She just passed away a few months ago.
Frawley says he had to replace her floors twice, with pressure treated plywood, because they rotted out.
"The plywood, the beams, everything was eaten up from moisture," Frawley says. "And then there was black mold everywhere."
The cost of doing business
From an investor standpoint, choosing an industry where maintenance and overhead costs are relatively low, is, as they say, not a bug but a feature.
ELS says as much in its annual report. "Compared to other types of real estate companies, our business model is characterized by low maintenance costs and low customer turnover costs," the report says.
Former ELS board member and current shareholder Michael Torres agrees. "It's just basically resurfacing roads and having a shared community center. You don't own walls and roofs."
Residents have to fix their own roofs or floors, or pretty much anything else that needs repair in their homes because they own them. Torres says that's one of the things that makes investing in mobile home parks, "the gold standard of investing in property."
Torres manages more than $2 billion in investments through his company, Adelante Capital Management. Mostly, he invests in real estate investment trusts (REITs), like ELS. And he does not seem to have much sympathy for the homeowners at the park in Florida.
"Streets flood,"Torres says. "You chose that community - buyer beware. It's like people that move next to a school and complain about the noise. To me there's no story here."
He goes further: "Unfortunately, it's called landlord for a reason," he says. "You're not told you have to live there."
With regard to the lawsuit against ELS, he says he doesn't know all the facts and he's not speaking on behalf of the company, but he's not concerned about it as an investor. "It's a nuisance," Torres says. "It's just part of the cost of doing business."
A smoking gun?
Heritage Plantation isn't the first ELS park to find itself in the crosshairs of a lawyer representing residents. The company has been the subject of numerous legal proceedings. Perhaps the most notable one began in 2009.
Then, California attorney Jim Allen sued the company over conditions at California Hawaiian Mobile Estates, a park in Salinas. He alleged that the electrical system was shot, power would go out to the homes regularly, sewage backed up in some houses.
"They had a lake and the lake basically stunk," Allen says. "It was putrid."
There were kids in that park, and he says the playground was dangerous. "It had sharp edges, it had a slide you couldn't use." he says.
Allen says there are so many mobile home parks neglecting residents that representing residents is now the heart of his law practice.
As the California ELS case played out, Allen says he uncovered what to him seemed to be a smoking-gun reason for the neglect.
He argued in the trial that ELS had an employee bonus structure that incentivized managers to squeeze out more profits by forgoing maintenance.
"So what happens is, you want to get your bonus, so you don't authorize repairs," says Allen.
An attorney for ELS during that trial said that staying within the maintenance budget was just one factor in determining a bonus.
After a legal fight that dragged on for years, a jury sided with the residents and awarded them $111 million. ELS successfully challenged the award and the case ended with a settlement of close to $10 million. The company maintains to this day that the suit was without merit and that the park was and remains a desirable community.
With regard to the bonus structure, ELS said in a statement that it encourages park managers to act in the best interest of the property and residents. Park budgets, "are not written in stone," ELS' Ludovice wrote to NPR. She says Heritage Plantation's manager received her full bonus last year despite the property being over budget.
Catfish swimming in the roads
Back in Florida, Ann, a former ELS manager at another of the company's mobile home parks, told NPR that her community also had a stormwater problem.
"We would have constant flooding," she says. "There were catfish swimming in the roads."
Ann says she worked at that ELS park for several years about 5 years ago. She says residents there would get trapped in their homes too because the water was too deep to drive through.
"They wouldn't be able to leave," she says.
She didn't want her full name used, fearing retribution from ELS or others in the industry.
Ann says she repeatedly asked ELS management to fix the flooding problem, but the company didn't. She says ELS did do some basic maintenance such as fixing potholes.
"They had a cap of how much they were willing to spend."
"Do the right thing"
At the Heritage Plantation park, the local government has gotten involved. Frustrated residents called officials with Indian River County, only to be told that they too, had limited power over ELS. The park, they noted, is private property.
But, county officials say that, in addition to the flooding, the stormwater system appeared to have another problem.
"Their storm water is going in our sewer system," says County Commissioner Joe Earman.
He says the county ordered ELS to fix that problem, but even after fining the company $100 a day for several years, it remains unfixed. As of mid July, the fines had reached $157,700.
"When they make no effort to contact us and (they) owe you $150,000 in code enforcement fines and don't ever reach out to us about it, that kind of sends a red flag up to us," Earman says.
ELS says it has in fact fixed that problem and is now in the process of resolving the issue with the county.
Still, Earman says it shouldn't take twenty years for the flooding problems residents have been struggling with here to get fixed.
"It's frustrating to me as a county commissioner," Earman says. "How about you just do the right thing?" And that, Earman says, is for ELS to fix the flooding problems in the park. "I think they can afford it."

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Transgender girls in Utah will be given the opportunity to participate in girls’ sports as the school year begins, after a judge on Friday reversed a ban pending legal challenges from parents.
Instead of an outright ban, transgender girls will now be sent before a commission that will determine on a case-by-case basis if their participation compromises fairness. Utah’s Republican lawmakers created the commission in a law passed earlier this year as a fallback plan to be implemented in case of an injunction against the law.
Under the law, the panel will be allowed to ask for and assess the child’s height and weight in making decisions about whether a transgender girl would have an unfair advantage.
The commission, which is set to be convened in the coming weeks, will include politically appointed experts from athletics and medicine.
When proposed, the commission was criticized by advocates for transgender student-athletes — who worried they would feel targeted having their bodies measured — and proponents of an outright ban, who argued it didn’t go far enough.
The commission is set to go into effect while the court weighs the legal challenge to the outright ban. Members have not yet been appointed but will be in the coming weeks, legislative leaders said.
The state’s association overseeing more than 80,000 students playing high school sports has said only one transgender girl competed in their leagues last year and, with school sports already underway, it’s unclear how many will go before the commission and when its decisions will take effect.
Utah’s ruling marked the latest court development in a nationwide debate over how to navigate the flashpoint issue.
At least 12 Republican-led states — including Utah — have passed laws banning transgender women or girls in sports based on the premise it gives them an unfair competitive advantage.
Transgender rights advocates counter the rules aren’t just about sports, but another way to demean and attack transgender youth. Similar cases are underway in states such as Idaho, West Virginia and Indiana.
Utah’s ban took effect in July after its Republican-supermajority Legislature overrode a veto by Gov. Spencer Cox, also a Republican.
Utah state Judge Keith Kelly said in the ruling putting the ban on hold that attorneys representing the families of three transgender student-athletes showed they have suffered significant distress by “singling them out for unfavorable treatment as transgender girls.”
The transgender girls and the parents filed the lawsuit last May, contending the ban violates the Utah Constitution’s guarantees of equal rights and due process.
The ruling was thrilling news to the girls and their families, said Shannon Minter, legal director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, who also represented same-sex couples in a landmark court case against Utah last decade.
“The pressure, the strain this was putting them under was so enormous,” Minter said. “It is just a huge relief to have that weight lifted.”
Utah state Sen. Stuart Adams, a Republican, said in a statement Friday that the commission that will now make decisions in a way “to protect equitable and safe competition while preserving the integrity of women’s sports.”
The commission will include a medical data statistician, a physician with experience about “gender identity healthcare”, a sports physiologist, mental health professional, collegiate athletic trainer, representative of an athletic association and a rotating member who is a coach or official in the sport relevant to each case.
Minter said he hopes the commission will act merely as a safety net, with the presumption being that transgender girls can play unless there is an obvious issue of competitive fairness.
“How it is done is very important,” Minter said.
The ruling follows a revelation this week by the Utah High School Activities Association that it secretly investigated a female athlete — without telling her or her parents — after receiving complaints from the parents of two girls she had defeated in competition questioning whether the girl was transgender.
The investigation — which was roundly criticized by Cox — determined she indeed was female after poring through her school records dating back to kindergarten, association spokesman David Spatafore told lawmakers this week.
Critics of the ban were upset but said they were not surprised by the investigation. They said it highlighted how the impact of politicizing girls’ sports affected more than transgender student-athletes and subjected all girls to scrutiny in ways they anticipated.
“It creates such a negative atmosphere based on stereotypes about girls and how they should look,” Minter said. “It is really is harmful to all the kids in the state.”
The sequence of events also laid out how officials may pursue complaints now that youth sports and the associations governing them are the subject of state laws. Spatafore said the complaint was among several the association had looked into in its efforts to comply with the Utah law, which went into effect in July. | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/transgender-kids-in-utah-can-play-girls-sports-after-ruling/ | 2022-08-21T14:31:09Z | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/transgender-kids-in-utah-can-play-girls-sports-after-ruling/ | false |

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:
We're going to hear next about the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It's a short one.
MICHAEL WALDMAN: One sentence, lots of commas and lots of confusion.
MONTAGNE: Michael Waldman has written an entire book on that amendment. He's the president of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU's School of Law. It's called "The Second Amendment: A Biography." He spoke with Steve Inskeep.
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Waldman contends the interpretation of the amendment's single sentence has repeatedly changed over time. Let's begin the discussion with the words themselves.
WALDMAN: A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
INSKEEP: One recent Supreme Court interpretation of those words came in 2008. Justice Antonin Scalia found the Second Amendment guaranteed an individual right to own a gun. Michael Waldman says past Supreme Court justices interpreted the same words differently.
There have always been guns, he says, and there have always been gun laws. The question always is where to draw the line, which changes from generation to generation. When the founding fathers wrote the amendment, some feared an overpowering central government, so they wanted state-armed forces, militias that could defend against that.
WALDMAN: James Madison, in the Federalist papers, said, well, we don't have to worry about a dictatorial U.S. government or a tyrannical U.S. Army because the states have their militias, and we could win a civil war if we had to. It was a different way of looking at it. People ask me all the time, so did the Second Amendment protect militias or an individual right to a gun? I think the answer is both and neither. It protected the individual right to a gun to fulfill the duty to serve in the militia. So, you know, to the framers, our question makes no sense, just as to us, their answer makes no sense.
INSKEEP: OK, so you're saying that it's a law from a different time, addressing circumstances that may no longer apply. But does that mean that the law is irrelevant? It's still part of the Constitution.
WALDMAN: No, well, that's right. Our view of the Second Amendment has evolved, and it's always been the subject of fighting, of political debate - not by consulting some pristine, constitutional text by what we think right now at any moment the Constitution means.
INSKEEP: OK, so take me through some of those changes over the last couple hundred years.
WALDMAN: Well, one period came after the Civil War. You had effectively a race war in the South. The newly freed slaves were terrorized by the Ku Klux Klan. And the people who wrote the 14th Amendment wanted to make sure that the newly freed slaves could get access to guns.
INSKEEP: Let's remind people that the 14th Amendment says you cannot discriminate on the basis of race, if I'm not mistaken.
WALDMAN: And the people who wrote that, many of them, one of the things they meant was you have to have equal rights to get a gun because otherwise the Ku Klux Klan was coming in and slaughtering former slaves and terrorizing them.
INSKEEP: So now people were thinking about the Second Amendment as individual self-defense as opposed to being part of some collective militia system.
WALDMAN: That's right. Just as the time of the founders was very different, the time of the immediate post-Civil War, which was guerrilla warfare in the South, was also very different. Then you had a period of time, the country grew West. There were more people with guns, and even then, there were gun laws, too. There's a wonderful photo from Dodge City, the archetypal frontier town.
INSKEEP: Right.
WALDMAN: It's a dusty street, and in the middle of the street is a sign that says, welcome to Dodge City, firearms strictly prohibited. So even then, there was more nuanced sense of what the right to keep and bear arms meant than sometimes we might imagine.
INSKEEP: In other words, this was never seen as an absolute right, so far as you know.
WALDMAN: The right to keep and bear arms from the beginning was something that was not an absolute right. It was based on public need and public safety as well as individual freedom. The very first federal gun law came in the 1930s, and for that, you can thank John Dillinger - the bank robbers because they had new technology in the form of sawed-off shotguns and guns from World War I and a getaway car, which was a very brand-new dangerous technology. So they passed federal gun laws.
So I think we now have to decide as a country how we want to balance individual rights and public safety. It's not really going to be up to the framers. It's really up to us. And again, that is how we've always made constitutional change. It's really always been a matter of moving public opinion before the courts will ever move.
INSKEEP: Is that in some ways a creepy way to think about the Constitution, though? Because it suggests that a public opinion poll can change the law without the law actually changing.
WALDMAN: You know, I'm a big fan of something Abraham Lincoln said. He said, with public sentiment, everything is possible. Without public sentiment, nothing is possible. Molding public sentiment, in some ways, is more powerful than being a judge or legislator because you create the context for what judges and legislators can do.
When you actually look at the rambunctious, robust history of our country, what we thought the Second Amendment meant had everything to do with what we thought of government - whether we were comfortable with a strong central government, whether we wanted more libertarian approach, as in many cases in recent years. One of the big turning points in this came in the 1970s when you had the backlash against the liberalism of the 1960s. And the National Rifle Association, at that point, it primarily represented hunters. And much more conservative, much more gun-rights oriented group won control of the organization and turned the NRA from being a group that spoke mostly for hunters, to a group that spoke mostly for the Second Amendment.
INSKEEP: Is there a way in which modern-day conservatives actually have captured some of the original spirit of this amendment? Because there was concern about a king, there was concern about tyranny, and if you listen to conservative lines of argument they're worried about an overpowering central government.
WALDMAN: Well, you know, yes, you're right in the following sense that the original worry that prompted the Second Amendment was the fear of a king with the fear of a central army. What it was protecting was a state government, local institution - the militia. So it's not wrong that these notions of individual freedom and concern about central power have animated this debate over time and animated a lot of these concerns now. Again, though, you had guns and people carrying guns and owning guns, and you had gun laws. In other words, it's never been interpreted really as giving an unfettered absolute right to do whatever you want with your gun.
INSKEEP: Michael Waldman is the author of the "Second Amendment: A Biography." Thanks very much.
WALDMAN: My pleasure.

Space underneath Anna flyover to be beautified
Highways Department to take up lighting and landscaping in the space beneath the iconic Anna Flyover in Chennai
Work to beautify the space beneath the Anna flyover, including landscaping and lighting, will be taken up shortly.
The Periyar statue, in one of the islands in the space, would be lifted up to give it a better visibility as part of the work to be taken up at a cost of ₹8.5 crore.
“The height of the pedestal of the statue is being increased so that it is visible. At present, the greenery around it is blocking the view,” said an official in the Highways Department.
The Anna flyover or Gemini flyover on Anna Salai is the city’s oldest flyover and has several statues and enclosed spaces beneath it. The walls around these spaces too would be pulled down as part of the beautification. A walkway would be formed using paver blocks under the present contract. The work is expected to be completed in three months.
G. Ramakrishnan, a resident of Besant Nagar, who commutes to Greams Road daily, welcomed the idea. “Right now, it is covered by all kinds of plants and trees. This flyover is right in the heart of the city and ought to be beautified. Some sort of seating arrangement can be provided there since many people visit the nearby U.S. Consulate and have nowhere to even stand,“ he said.
Dhanapal, who travels to Nungambakkam regularly, said the red and white rubber bollards should be changed and flyover painted as part of the work. It should have paintings or murals reflecting the growth of the city over the centuries, he said.
The Highways Department, however, has plans to use the space to highlight the Dravidian movement at a cost of ₹2.5 crore.

Jill Biden tests negative for COVID-19, will go to Delaware
REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) — First lady Jill Biden has tested negative for COVID-19 and will leave South Carolina, where she had isolated since vacationing with President Joe Biden, and rejoin him at their Delaware beach home, her office said Sunday.
The White House announced on Tuesday that the 71-year-old first lady, who like her husband has been twice-vaccinated and twice-boosted with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, had tested positive for the coronavirus. She first had symptoms on Monday.
The 79-year-old president recovered from a rebound case of the virus on Aug. 7.
Jill Biden was prescribed the antiviral drug Paxlovid and isolated at the Kiawah Island vacation home for five days before receiving negative results from two consecutive COVID-19 tests, spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander said. Jill Biden planned to travel to Delaware later Sunday.

Rider is team to beat in District 2-5A DII
DISTRICT 2-5A DIVISION II POLL
There were nine ballots cast by TRN Sports writers, local TV sports anchors, writers from other publications who cover teams in the district and district coaches. Scoring was done in a 10-8-6-4-2-1 format. First-place votes are in parenthesis.
1. Rider 90 (9)
Despite consistent postseason success, Rider has not won a district title since 2008. The Raiders are the overwhelming favorite to end that drought this season.
With 36 returning lettermen, including nine offensive and seven defensive starters, back from a 12-2 team, Rider remains not just a district favorite, but a Region I-5A Division II power. PigskinPrep.com projects the Raiders to go 10-0 during the regular season and return to the fourth round of the playoffs for a fifth straight season.
Rider has finished a regular season undefeated just twice in program history in 1965 and 1974.
2. Abilene Cooper 68
Cooper has had a few memorable matchups with Rider in recent memory and is a smart pick to be the top contender to Rider’s district title dreams.
The Cougars are dropping from Class 5A Division I, returning 20 lettermen from a 6-5 team. They’ve got the numbers and tradition to challenge the Raiders.
The Cougars were a near unanimous choice for second place in the district, receiving seven votes in that spot. The two other pollsters ranked the Cougars third.
3. Abilene Wylie 52
And only Wylie received the second-place votes ahead of Cooper. The Bulldogs have gotten better each season since making the move from Class 4A to 5A four years ago.
Wylie returns 31 starters from a 4-6 team but will be breaking in a lot of new starters, returning just three on the defensive side of the ball.
4. Amarillo Palo Duro 42
Palo Duro is the second of three teams dropping from the larger 5A division to form this new district. The Dons went 5-5 a year ago, thanks in part to a soft non-district schedule. They were 1-5 in their district.
But the improvement from previous seasons must be noted as should the return of eight offensive and six defensive starters.
Palo Duro hasn’t been in the playoffs since 2014, but this panel sees that drought ending. All nine ballots had the Dons in the postseason with three picking them to finish third.
5. Plainview 18
The Bulldogs have their own lengthy playoff drought, last advancing to the postseason in 2017. The Bulldogs have won just six games in the past four seasons.
They were a unanimous choice to finish fifth in the district, despite returning eight starters on each side of the ball.
6. Lubbock High 9
No one in the district has battled futility more than Lubbock High. The Westerners last appeared in the playoffs in 2012, and this panel doesn’t like their chances in 2022.
Lubbock High hasn’t won more than two games in a season since 2012, when it won three.
And it doesn’t help the Westerners are coming off a 1-9 season, lost 25 lettermen and return just 15.
DISTRICT 2-5A DIVISION II BREAKDOWN
FIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH
Anquan Willis, RB/DL, Rider – The reigning Red River 22 large-school football MVP is a major force on both sides of the ball. The Texas Tech commit rushed for 1,666 yards and 26 TDs while recording 11 sacks on defense.
Jack Pitts, QB, Rider – Pitts is the latest in a strong line of productive signal-callers in Rider’s program. With an experienced receiving corps returning, Pitts has a chance to better his 2,812 yards and 26 TDs.

Karomo Collins, ATH, Plainview – While Plainview hasn’t been a relevant regional contender in some time, that doesn’t take away from Collins’ ability to impact a game from multiple positions. He’s the one guy the Bulldogs have who must be accounted for on every snap.
Chris Warren, QB, Abilene Cooper – Warren had a strong junior year, and the dual-threat quarterback hopes to push the Cougars to a district title after they dropped to Class 5A Division II.
Kameron Brown, RB/LB, Palo Duro – Like Cooper, Palo Duro has dropped divisions and brings one of this new district’s top defenders in Brown. He’s already holding a pair of legitimate NCAA Division II offers with the potential to play at a higher level.
FIVE VITAL GAMES
Abilene Cooper at Rider (Oct. 7) – This may be the de facto title game in the opening week of district play. And it renews a brief rivalry that saw these two play six memorable games from 2010-15.
Abilene Wylie at Rider (Oct. 13) – Rider may be playing the top two contenders to its district favorite status within a six-day span to open district play. And the Raiders get the Cougars and Bulldogs at home.
Palo Duro at Abilene Cooper (Oct. 14) – The Dons are a trendy dark horse as they join Cooper in dropping a division at the Class 5A level. Significant improvements are expected for the Dons in their second season under coach Eric Mims.
Palo Duro at Plainview (Nov. 4) – Plainview is fielding its most experienced and talented team in several years with a playoff spot in mind. The Bulldogs have to at least beat Palo Duro and Lubbock High to reach that goal. These two combined for 105 total points in a 64-41 victory for Palo Duro last season.
Abilene Cooper at Abilene Wylie (Nov. 4) – The fledgling rivalry isn’t replacing the esteemed Cooper-Abilene High matchup in the hearts of most Big Country football fans, but it’s going to hold more significance from the standpoint of being a district game for the first time ever. Cooper is 4-0 against Wylie, winning last season’s meeting, 30-24. | https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2022/08/21/district-2-5a-division-ii-high-school-football-preseason-poll-preview/65412138007/ | 2022-08-21T15:07:46Z | https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2022/08/21/district-2-5a-division-ii-high-school-football-preseason-poll-preview/65412138007/ | true |
