A parenting education group has revealed the life-saving rules to remember when delivering an EpiPen or Anapen to someone having a severe allergic reaction.
CPR Kids shared the vital instructions to follow in the event someone goes into anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal type of allergic reaction triggered by foods and bites.
Those susceptible to anaphylaxis generally carry one of two adrenaline autoinjectors - an EpiPen or an Anapen - that need to be given as soon as a someone starts to show symptoms.
Both injectors have a simple rule each people should follow to remember how to administer them: 'White end on leg; press thumb on red' for an Anapen and 'Blue to the sky, orange to the thigh' for an EpiPen.
CPR Kids shared the life-saving instructions to follow to give someone an EpiPen (left) or an Anapen (right) in the event they have a severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis
Signs and symptoms: How to tell if someone is going into anaphylaxis
The signs and symptoms of a food allergic reaction may occur almost immediately after eating or most often within 20 minutes to two hours after eating. Rapid onset and development of potentially life threatening symptoms are characteristic markers of anaphylaxis.
Allergic symptoms may initially appear mild or moderate but can progress very quickly. The most dangerous allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) involve the respiratory system (breathing) and/or cardiovascular system (heart and blood pressure).
Mild to modern allergic reaction signs and symptoms:
- Hives, welts or body redness
- Swelling of the face, lips, eyes
- Tingling of the mouth
- Vomiting, abdominal pain - these are signs of a severe allergic reaction/anaphylaxis in someone with severe insect allergy
Severe allergic reaction - anaphylaxis signs and symptoms:
'One of our team member's friends attended a party two weeks ago and saved someone's life after locating their EpiPen and administering it quickly after they had collapsed. She had just refreshed her EpiPen training that very morning!' a post to the CPR Kids Facebook page read.
The post referred to advice from Allergy and Anaphylaxis Australia with advice on how to use the two adrenaline autoinjectors available in Australia, an EpiPen and Anapen, that are administered in different ways.
If someone is going into anaphylaxis firstly, the health awareness organisation said to locate the ASCIA action plan, the instruction manual, that is stored with the injectors.
Then lie the person down flat, keeping them calm or you can help them sit up if they are having difficulty breathing but do not let them stand or walk.
When administering an adrenaline autoinjector it's important to remember two rules: 'White end on leg; press thumb on red' for an Anapen and 'Blue to the sky, orange to the thigh' for an EpiPen
EpiPen vs Anapen: What's the difference?
An Anapen is a newer adrenaline autoinjector used to treat anaphylaxis that is administered in a substantially different way to an Epipen.
How to administer an Anapen:
Look for the ASCIA action plan and follow the instructions.
An Anapen has a red button end and a black needle end.
Pull off the black needle shield, this also removes a grey needle shield.
Pull off the grey safety cap from the red button.
Hold the Anapen in fist, place the needle end firmly against the outer mid-thigh at a 90 degree angle.
While holding the leg still, press the red button firmly so it clicks.
Hold firmly against thigh, count slowly to ten.
Remove the Anapen from the thigh.
Put the Anapen safely to one side due to exposed needle.
How to administer an EpiPen:
Look for the ASCIA action plan and follow the instructions.
Form a fist around the EpiPen keeping fingers and thumb away from either end.
Remember: blue to the sky, orange to the thigh.
Pull of the blue safety release.
Place the orange end against the outer mid-thigh at 90 degrees midway between the knee and the hip joint.
While holding the leg still, push down hard until a click is heard or felt.
Hold firmly in place, count slowly to three.
Remove the EpiPen and an orange end will extend over needle.
If the person falls unconscious, lie them down on their side in the recovery position placing their arms at a right angle to their body and their outer leg bent with their head and neck supported.
Hold the EpiPen, which has a blue and an orange tip, in the middle with a fist keeping finger and thumbs away from each end.
Remembering the rhyme 'Blue to the sky, orange to the thigh', pull off the blue safety release, push the orange end firmly down on the person's outer mid-thigh until you hear a click and hold for three seconds.
An Anapen however has a red cap at one end and a black needle shield at the other and is operated differently from an EpiPen.
'First pull of the black needle shield. This will also remove a small grey needle shield then pull of the grey safety cap from the red button end,' the video said.
Hold the Anapen in your fist, press the red button with your thumb and push the white needle end into the same outer mid-thigh area half way between the hip and the knee counting to ten slowly.
People susceptible to anaphylaxis generally carry one of two adrenaline autoinjectors: an EpiPen or an Anapen that need to be given as soon as a someone starts to show symptoms
The basic first aid rules you should know about
First aid is as easy as ABC – airway, breathing and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). In any situation, apply the DRSABCD Action Plan.
DRSABCD stands for:
Danger – always check the danger to you, any bystanders and then the injured or ill person. Make sure you do not put yourself in danger when going to the assistance of another person
Response – is the person conscious? Do they respond when you talk to them, touch their hands or squeeze their shoulder?
Send for help – call triple zero (000). Don’t forget to answer the questions asked by the operator
Airway – Is the person’s airway clear? Is the person breathing?
Breathing – check for breathing by looking for chest movements (up and down). Listen by putting your ear near to their mouth and nose. Feel for breathing by putting your hand on the lower part of their chest. If the person is unconscious but breathing, turn them onto their side, carefully ensuring that you keep their head, neck and spine in alignment. Monitor their breathing until you hand over to the ambulance officers
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) – if an adult is unconscious and not breathing, make sure they are flat on their back and then place the heel of one hand in the centre of their chest and your other hand on top. Press down firmly and smoothly (compressing to one third of their chest depth) 30 times. Give two breaths. To get the breath in, tilt their head back gently by lifting their chin. Pinch their nostrils closed, place your open mouth firmly over their open mouth and blow firmly into their mouth. Keep going with the 30 compressions and two breaths at the speed of approximately five repeats in two minutes until you hand over to the ambulance officers or another trained person, or until the person you are resuscitating responds. The method for CPR for children under eight and babies is very similar and you can learn these skills in a CPR course
Defibrillator – for unconscious adults who are not breathing, apply an automated external defibrillator (AED) if one is available. They are available in many public places, clubs and organisations. An AED is a machine that delivers an electrical shock to cancel any irregular heart beat (arrhythmia), in an effort get the normal heart beating to re-establish itself. The devices are very simple to operate. Just follow the instructions and pictures on the machine, and on the package of the pads, as well as the voice prompts. If the person responds to defibrillation, turn them onto their side and tilt their head to maintain their airway. Some AEDs may not be suitable for children

As an Anapen has an exposed needle, Allergy and Anaphylaxis Australia said to be caution of fingers and thumbs when placing the caps back on so you don't prick yourself.
Both the Anapen and EpiPen can be given through a single layer of clothing but not pockets or seams.
Once the patient has been given the dose of adrenaline the video said to call triple zero for an ambulance immediately.
The clip also strongly advises keeping them off their feet and not allowing them to stand or walk under any circumstance, even going to an ambulance or into the hospital.
Finally, the charity said the patient must stay in hospital to be monitored for at least four hours.

Zazzle allegedly made hundreds of millions in profits and avoided paying hundreds of millions in licensing fees by stealing the software for one of its most popular fonts from famed designer
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the world's leading graphic designers filed suit today against internet design and printing giant, Zazzle, Inc., for allegedly cheating her business out of its intellectual property, which allowed Zazzle to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-gotten profits.
Nicky Laatz, one of the leading custom premium font designers in the world, filed this action today in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that Zazzle fraudulently and secretly obtained her Blooming Elegant Trio of fonts software for use on Zazzle's website.
Link to lawsuit: https://www.bzbm.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Laatz-v.-Zazzle-Complaint-8-24-22.pdf.
According to the lawsuit, Zazzle instructed its senior network engineer to pose as an individual designer and obtain a single-user license for the Blooming Elegant Trio of fonts, but in reality the fonts were obtained for Zazzle's illegal use. Zazzle then loaded the software onto its servers and made the fonts available to tens of millions of Zazzle designers and customers without permission or compensation to the designer.
Nicky Laatz typically charged $17 per user for these premium fonts. Because her Blooming Elegant Trio of fonts quickly became some of the most popular fonts on Zazzle, the company was able to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from its illegal use of the fonts, and avoid paying hundreds of millions of dollars in licensing fees, with zero compensation to Ms. Laatz.
The suit seeks disgorgement of all of Zazzle's hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from the unlawful use of Laatz's hugely popular Blooming Elegant Trio of fonts, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars in lost licensing revenue related to Zazzle providing the fonts to its tens of millions of unlicensed users. Claims in the case include fraudulent misrepresentation and concealment, promissory fraud, copyright and trademark infringement, and breach of contract.
"This is a case of brazen fraud, committed by a widely recognized, multi-billion-dollar brand against the very kind of creative talent Zazzle claims to support," said Ms. Laatz's lead trial counsel, Patrick M. Ryan of the Bartko law firm. "When Zazzle couldn't get a license for use on its site, Zazzle had one of its senior engineers pose as an individual designer so he could obtain a single-user license, all the while secretly planning to give the font software to Zazzle for use on its site.
"And then Zazzle turned around and gave its tens of millions of designers and users access to the fonts with zero compensation to the artist. This is outrageous and one of the clearest cut cases of fraud that I've ever seen in more than twenty years of practicing law," said Mr. Ryan.
Zazzle, based in Menlo Park, is one of the most successful online marketplaces for designers looking to create and sell a wide range of customized items including invitations, business cards, holiday and greeting cards, clothing, art, and office supplies, to the public.
Zazzle is reportedly preparing for an IPO that would value it at up to $2 billion. Yet, while the company raked in hundreds of millions in profits from the unauthorized use of Laatz's intellectual property for more than five years, she received not a single cent in royalties from Zazzle.
"Zazzle … is built on a lie that it supports, promotes, and fairly compensates artists and designers for their creative work. In reality, Zazzle's high valuation and hundreds of millions of dollars in annual profits are largely due to the intellectual property of designers whom Zazzle has stolen from and failed to properly compensate, if at all," according the lawsuit filed today.
Nicky Laatz, based in the UK, carefully created the Blooming Elegant Trio of fonts to be an extremely balanced and pleasing handwriting-style of fonts, and they are widely considered by designers to be among the best such fonts available. Indeed, their reputation and popularity was such that Zazzle actively marketed the fonts by name, and Blooming Elegant quickly became listed as the #2 script font by Zazzle starting over three years ago.
The complaint alleges that the Blooming Elegant Trio of fonts are the most popular fonts with Zazzle's most successful graphic designers who have their own online storefronts on Zazzle's website and whose work is featured among Zazzle's most popular designs and products.
The Blooming Elegant Trio proved extremely profitable for Zazzle. These fonts became the major design element in countless highly popular items by some of Zazzle's most successful designers, including ten of Zazzle's 24 most popular business card designs and many of its top wedding invitations. Several of Zazzle's highest-earning designers, who earn hundreds of thousands of dollars or more a year on Zazzle, relied on the fonts for a substantial portion of their product offerings.
Two years ago, in late August 2020, Laatz discovered the deception when a Zazzle user contacted her for assistance with using the fonts on the Zazzle website. Shocked, Laatz demanded that Zazzle cease offering her fonts to its designers and customers. She also demanded that Zazzle provide her with a full list of products designed on and/or sold through its website that used her fonts, and a complete accounting of the company's revenues and profits from the illegitimate use of her intellectual property.
Yet the company not only refused her demands, it continued to openly offer the Blooming Elegant Trio of fonts under their own name, for which Ms. Laatz has a registered trademark, until earlier this month., when Zazzle inexplicably replaced the Blooming Elegant Trio of fonts with cheap imitations, one of which was copied from Blooming Elegant itself – extending the harm to Zazzle's own designers and users who are also victims of the fraud.
"Sadly, this appears to be a pattern of behavior for Zazzle, which has done the same thing to other custom font designers," added Ryan. "We are asking the court not only to compensate Nicky for the designers and millions of dollars they diverted from her business, but to disgorge Zazzle's massive profits that it earned off Nicky Laatz's brilliant designs."
Bartko, established more than 40 years ago, is a boutique law firm specializing in national and international complex litigation and investigations, as well as real estate and franchising transactions.
It is a 40-plus-lawyer firm dedicated to strategic cutting-edge representation of clients in California, nationally, and internationally. Bartko's practice areas include representing both plaintiffs and defendants in complex business litigation, antitrust and competition claims, intellectual property litigation, trade secret litigation, anticounterfeiting, complex employment litigation, employment/labor strategic advice and collective bargaining, as well as real estate litigation, among others.
Bartko's lead trial counsel in this case is Patrick M. Ryan, who is one of the most successful trial lawyers in the United States. Recent victories include: (1) acting as co-lead counsel in defending Sutter Health from antitrust allegations by class action plaintiffs in the Northern District of California where, after a 5-week trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Sutter Health and against the plaintiffs who sought $411 million in damages, which would have been subject to trebling; (2) lead counsel for the plaintiff in a trade secret case in Santa Clara County, California, where he obtained a nearly $900 Million jury verdict on behalf of a major international technology company.
In 2020, Patrick was named a Top Trade Secret Lawyer for 2020 by the California Daily Journal. As a result of one of his jury verdicts, Bartko was ranked as Number 3 in the Top 100 Verdicts—published by The National Law Journal (June 2019)—and having the highest ranked intellectual property victory in the United States for that year. And the California Daily Journal's Top Verdicts publication named Patrick's case the highest Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets victory in California and the Number 2 highest judgment overall for 2019.
As part of his practice, Patrick helps businesses better protect their intellectual property and coordinates investigations into potential IP theft for companies accused of stealing trade secrets and for companies that might have been the victims of such theft. In this case, Patrick seeks to vindicate the rights of an important artist whose IP was stolen and exploited by Zazzle.
Co-counsel Stephen Steinberg is a trial lawyer at Bartko specializing in representing technology companies in disputes involving intellectual property and other complex business issues, including claims for theft of trade secrets, trademark and copyright infringement, and disputes involving startups and founders. He regularly represents both plaintiffs and defendants in such cases, and counsels companies on how to protect their intellectual property from competitors and how to avoid claims by competitors against them. He second-chaired the trial in the aforementioned trade secret case that led to a nearly $900 Million jury verdict that was ranked as one of the largest in 2019.

(KTLA) – A federal jury on Wednesday awarded Kobe Bryant’s widow, Vanessa Bryant, and another plaintiff $31 million in combined damages stemming from graphic photos taken and shared from the scene of the 2020 crash that killed the Los Angeles Lakers star, his daughter, and seven other people.
The nine jurors who returned the unanimous verdict agreed with Vanessa Bryant and her attorneys that deputies and firefighters taking and sharing photos of the remains of Kobe Bryant and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna invaded her privacy and brought her emotional distress.
“January 26th, 2020, was the worst day of Vanessa Bryant’s life. The county made it much worse,” Vanessa Bryant’s attorney Luis Li told jurors in his opening statement earlier this month. “They poured salt in an open wound and rubbed it in.”
The jury deliberated for 4 1/2 hours before reaching the verdict. Vanessa Bryant cried quietly as it was read.
Los Angeles County already agreed to pay $2.5 million to settle a similar case brought by two families whose relatives were killed in the crash.
Vanessa Bryant and Chris Chester, whose wife, Sara, and daughter Payton also died, declined to settle. Bryant will receive $16 million, while Chester was awarded $15 million.
On Friday, Bryant tearfully testified that news of the photos compounded her still-raw grief a month after losing her husband and daughter and that she still has panic attacks at the thought that they might still be out there.
“I live in fear every day of being on social media and these popping up,” she told jurors. “I live in fear of my daughters being on social media and these popping up.”
Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and other parents and players were flying to a girl’s basketball tournament when their chartered helicopter crashed in the Calabasas hills on January 26th, 2020.
Federal safety officials blamed pilot error.
During the trial, Li played jurors security video of an off-duty sheriff’s deputy drinking at a bar showing the photos to the bartender, who shakes his head in dismay. The lawyer then showed an image of the men laughing together later.
Li described firefighters looking at the phone photos two weeks later at an awards banquet and showed the jury an animated chart documenting their spread to nearly 30 people.
An attorney for the county defended the taking of the photos as an essential tool for first responders seeking to share information when they thought they might still save lives at the chaotic, dangerous, and hard-to-reach crash scene.
It was not immediately known if L.A. County would appeal the verdict.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Twenty20 World Cup organizers have had to release standing-room-only tickets for the India-Pakistan group-stage encounter after all seats at the Melbourne Cricket Ground were sold out within five minutes.
Organizers said an additional 4,000 tickets would be sold for the Oct. 23 blockbuster for areas where standing is the only option for spectators. The MCG can can hold up to 100,000 for Australian rules football games and more than 90,000 for cricket.
“The ticket release ensures that as many fans as possible can attend,” organizers said. Matches between Pakistan and India at cricket World Cups usually sell out quickly because of the lack of bilateral tours involving the archrivals.
India edged Pakistan by 5 runs in the final of the first T20 World Cup in 2007 in South Africa. Pakistan won the next edition with an eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the final at Lord’s in 2009.
Six countries have won the title, with the West Indies (2012 and ’16) being the only two-time champions.
The 2022 edition will start Oct. 16 and finish with a Nov. 13 final at the MCG. Australia is the defending champion after winning its first T20 world men’s title in Dubai last year.
Australia was scheduled to stage both Twenty20 World Cups in 2020 but the men’s tournament was postponed because of travel restrictions in place for the COVID-19 pandemic. Australia won the women’s final against India in March 2020 in front of a crowd exceeding 86,000 at the MCG.

Five Florida men affiliated with a militia group called “B Squad” have been arrested on charges that they joined a mob’s attack on the U.S. Capitol, disrupting Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory, federal authorities said Wednesday.
“B Squad” members stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, while wearing riot gear and armed with metal batons, knives, chemical spray and walking sticks, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit. Group members joined the mob in a “heave-ho” push against police officers trying to secure a tunnel on the Lower West Terrace, the affidavit says.
Officers ultimately repelled the mob after more than two hours of violence inside the tunnel. More than 100 police officers were injured at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The FBI says the five defendants charged together are self-identified adherents to the “Three Percenters” militia movement, which refers to the myth that only 3% of Americans fought in the Revolutionary War against the British. The men are members of a group called Guardians of Freedom and a subgroup called “B Squad,” according to an FBI agent’s affidavit.
A criminal complaint charges four of the defendants with a felony count of interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder. They are Benjamin Cole, 38, of Leesburg; John Edward Crowley, 50, of Windermere; Brian Preller, 33, of Mount Dora; and Jonathan Rockholt, 38, of Palm Coast.
They and a fifth defendant — Tyler Bensch, 20, of Casselberry — also are charged with misdemeanor counts of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.
Crowley, Rockholt and Bensch were arrested in Florida, where a federal magistrate judge ordered them released after their initial court appearances Wednesday. Attorneys for the three men didn’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
Cole was arrested in Louisville, Kentucky. Court records didn’t immediately list an attorney for him.
Preller was arrested in Hardwick, Vermont, and ordered released after his initial court appearance in Rutland. A lawyer for Preller declined to comment on the charges.
A flier sent to “B Squad” members two weeks before the riot advertised a “March for Trump” bus trip to Washington for the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, according to the affidavit. It says the flier encouraged Guardians of Freedom members to “deploy” and help protect people at the rally, where then-President Donald Trump addressed a crowd of supporters.
A man identified by the FBI only as “B Leader” coordinated the group’s travel from Florida to Washington and reserved a block of rooms at a hotel near Capitol. He, the five defendants charged in the complaint and approximately 40 other “B Squad” members stayed on the same floor of the hotel on the eve of the riot, the FBI says. “B Leader,” who isn’t one of the five arrested defendants, also spoke at a rally at Washington’s Freedom Plaza on Jan. 5, 2021, according to the affidavit.
More than 850 people have been charged with federal crimes for their conduct on Jan. 6. The Justice Department says more than 260 defendants have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement at the Capitol.
Nearly 400 Capitol riot defendants have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a judge or jury after trials. More than 240 have been sentenced, with roughly half of them getting terms of incarceration ranging from seven days to over seven years.

India's silent epidemic: Impact of toxic used cooking oil diversion into the food stream on public health
ORF has undertaken a first of its kind study to evaluate the extent of diversion of Used Cooking Oil (UCO) in India’s food stream and its impact on public health.
New Delhi, 24 August 2022: A collaborative and evidence driven regulatory framework can help India fight the diversion of toxic waste oils back into the food stream, claims a new report by the Observer Research Foundation, one of India's leading think-tanks. Supported by Koan Advisory Group and Neste, ORF has undertaken a first of its kind study to evaluate the extent of diversion of Used Cooking Oil (UCO) in India’s food stream and its impact on public health.
UCO is the leftover oil from frying that is produced in both homes and commercial food manufacturing and service businesses. Extensive medical and scientific literature has linked the repeated consumption of UCO as a significant risk factor for a number of non-communicable diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and organ damage. Despite food safety regulations outlawing consumption of UCO in any form, almost 60% of the UCO generated in India makes its way back into the food stream.
The report, released on, 23rd Aug’22, identifies key regulatory issues that affect the compliance of UCO related food safety regulations in India and proposes solutions based on global and regional best practices. To understand the extent of commercial UCO generation and diversion into the food stream, the current study surveyed 505 (101 large sized and 406 small sized) food business operators (FBOs) across four metros in India – Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai and Kolkata.
The results of the survey indicate that the re-use of UCO by commercial food business operators (FBOs) is pervasive, especially among small establishments and street vendors in New Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai who utilize UCO till the last drop. Additionally, awareness and compliance of food safety regulations on UCO re-use among FBOs is low, exposing consumers to increasing risks of diseases and poor health outcomes. Among the cities surveyed, compliance of food safety regulations among FBOs was highest in Chennai, owing to enhanced awareness, collaboration between the local government and private sector organizations, and development of relevant infrastructure for waste storage and disposal.
“This survey gives us a clear picture of the challenge faced now to regulate the used cooking oil used in the market. The government, civil society and private sector should collaborate to decide what is required to tackle, for example, the public health challenges related to diverting the used cooking oil back to human consumption. Neste is committed to supporting India to address this challenge, and we wish to highlight that by directing used cooking oil from human consumption to renewables production, India can mitigate the public health risk and combat the climate crisis simultaneously. Neste already uses used cooking oil sourced around the world as a raw material to produce a variety of renewable products, such as low-emission renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, for the global market.” said Steven Bartholomeusz, Head of Public Affairs in the Asia-Pacific region at Neste.
The report concludes by outlining the need for greater collaboration between government food safety authorities, networks of doctors, nutritionists and experts, and private sector organizations to create a regulatory and policy framework that drives responsible behavioral change and consumer awareness. Additionally, it suggests actionable inputs for different stakeholders to create pathways that link the efforts of building a safe and secure food environment with sustainable circular economy principles.
"It is impossible for any company to spend Rs 1000 cr on the marketing of a brand which did 350 cr in the Covid year. That too when Dolo 650 comes under NLEM (price control)," said Jayaraj Govindaraju, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Communication, Micro Labs Limited while speaking to the media agency.
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/industry/indias-silent-epidemic-impact-of-toxic-used-cooking-oil-diversion-into-the-food-stream-on-public-health/93761162 | 2022-08-25T02:36:24Z | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/indias-silent-epidemic-impact-of-toxic-used-cooking-oil-diversion-into-the-food-stream-on-public-health/93761162 | false |

24th August 2022, Gurugram: With an aim to galvanize corporates in the state of Haryana to contribute to the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP) and launch new initiatives under the aegis of Mission TB Free Haryana, Medanta, in association with The Union, under the guidance of NTEP Haryana, organized a multi-stakeholder event engaging corporates and government stakeholders. As part of the program, deliberation was held with potential and existing corporate partners from the state of Haryana, encouraging them to support the national initiative.
Towards Vision 2025 – TB Free Haryana, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Haryana, Shri Manohar Lal Khattar Ji announced the “Adopt a District” initiative and inaugurated the Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (DRTB) clinic in Medanta Gurugram in the presence of Dr. Naresh Trehan (Chairman and Managing Director, Medanta), Dr. Anand Jaiswal (Senior Director) and Dr. Bornali Datta (Director) from the Department of Respiratory and Sleep Medicine, Medanta, Gurugram. The event was also graced by Dr. Kuldeep Singh Sachdeva (Director, Southeast Asia region, International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases) and Dr. Rajesh Raju (State TB Officer).
The objective of “Adopt a District” initiative is to encourage each corporate to support at least one district of Haryana, allowing them to assist the state bridge the gap in TB care services. This will strengthen and support the robust NTEP that works to detect TB in the unscreened population and establish linkages between identified patients, and the government healthcare and treatment services.
The Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (DRTB) clinic in Medanta, Gurugram will operate in close collaboration with the Central, State and District Tuberculosis Divisions to enhance access to the most advanced TB therapy available in the country. TB treatment regimens are lengthy, making it difficult for patients to follow through. They also leave the treatment halfway because of lack of access to therapy, which puts them at risk of developing multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. The DRTB Clinic will provide patients with end-to-end clinical and infrastructural support, minimizing the gap between TB detection and treatment. It will offer TB screening, diagnosis, government-approved advanced treatment therapeutics, regular patient monitoring and follow-ups. The outcomes will be recorded and reported as per the government guideline.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Khattar Ji, said, “We have made significant progress in strengthening the infrastructure for TB treatment in Haryana. However, we must recognize that to scale-up access to therapy, private-public partnerships and multi-stakeholder models are the way forward. Collaboration with Medanta and launch of ‘Adopt a District’ initiative is a step towards achieving the National Goal of TB elimination by 2025.”
Dr. Naresh Trehan, Chairman and Managing Director, Medanta, said, “Timely screening, detection and treatment play a crucial role in the prevention and management of Tuberculosis. Currently, a vast majority of patients go undetected and untreated in India, significantly increasing the disease burden. TB is a serious challenge that has been plaguing the nation. Launch of ‘Adopt a District’ initiative and the DRTB Clinic under the supervision of the Government reflects our commitment to eradicate TB from India with concerted, consistent efforts in this direction.”
"It is impossible for any company to spend Rs 1000 cr on the marketing of a brand which did 350 cr in the Covid year. That too when Dolo 650 comes under NLEM (price control)," said Jayaraj Govindaraju, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Communication, Micro Labs Limited while speaking to the media agency.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Officials in the Trump White House tried to pressure U.S. health experts into reauthorizing a discredited COVID-19 treatment, according to a congressional investigation that provides new evidence of that administration’s efforts to override Food and Drug Administration decisions early in the pandemic.
The report Wednesday by the Democratic-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis also sheds new light on the role that television personalities played in bringing hydroxychloroquine to the attention of top White House officials. Investigators highlighted an email from Fox News’ Laura Ingraham and others from Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity heart surgeon who had a daytime TV show and is now the Republican Senate nominee in Pennsylvania. Ingraham attended an Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump, who himself took the anti-malaria drug.
The FDA originally authorized use of hydroxychloroquine in late March 2020 based on small studies suggesting it could have some effectiveness against the coronavirus. At that time, many researchers hoped that existing antiviral drugs could be used to fight the virus. But by June, FDA officials had concluded the drug was likely ineffective and could cause potentially dangerous heart complications, revoking its emergency use.
Efforts by the Trump administration to control the release of COVID-19 guidance and install political operatives at public health agencies have been well documented.
The report by the House subcommittee investigating the government’s COVID-19 response focused on pressure at the FDA, which serves as gatekeeper for the drugs, vaccines and other countermeasures against the virus.
Much of the information comes from an interview with the agency’s former commissioner, Dr. Stephen Hahn, who was picked for the job by Trump in late 2019. Frustrated by the pace of FDA’s medical reviews, Trump repeatedly accused Hahn — without evidence — of delaying decisions on COVID-19 drugs and vaccines “for political reasons.”
Although FDA commissioners are politically appointed, the agency’s scientists are expected to conduct their reviews free from outside influence. Indeed, the FDA’s credibility largely stems from its reputation for scientific independence.
But Hahn told investigators that he felt pressure due to the “persistence” of Trump aide Peter Navarro’s calls to reauthorize hydroxychloroquine after the FDA’s decision to pull its emergency use.
“We took a different stance at the FDA,” Hahn told investigators. “So that disagreement, which of course ultimately became somewhat public, was a source of pressure.”
The subcommittee chairman, Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, said efforts to bend the FDA’s scientific work on treatments and vaccines exemplified how the “prior administration prioritized politics over public health.” But Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, the panel’s top Republican, said the report was “further proof” that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., “only set up this sham panel to carry out a political vendetta” against Trump.
Much of the report focuses on actions taken by Navarro and Dr. Steven Hatfill, a virologist and outside adviser described by the subcommittee as a “full-time volunteer” on COVID-19 for the White House.
“Dr. Hatfill and Mr. Navarro devised multiple pressure schemes targeting FDA and federal officials who they contended were wrongly impeding widespread access to hydroxychloroquine,” according to the report.
In his response, Hatfill said: “We never wrongly pressured anyone. We simply followed the science and the overwhelming evidence as detailed in several studies available at the time.”
Navarro, in an emailed statement, said the subcommittee was “wrongly” perpetuating that hydroxychloroquine “was somehow dangerous.” He also said he has chronicled his battles with the FDA in his White House memoir.
Importantly, there’s no evidence that White House efforts ultimately changed the FDA’s decisions on hydroxychloroquine or any other therapies.
Investigators also cited a March 28, 2020, email from Oz to Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator, stating that the drug “appears safe and results are better than expected.”
Birx forwarded the email to Hahn within the hour, saying “we should talk.”
A cancer specialist with no prior political experience, Hahn was widely criticized during the early COVID-19 response for decisions that appeared to cave to White House officials.
According to emails obtained by the committee, Hatfill described “constant fighting with (Dr. Anthony) Fauci and Dr. Hahn” over access to hydroxychloroquine during the summer. Fauci is the nation’s top infectious disease expert.
During this period Hatfill also urged Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., to request a federal investigation into the handling of hydroxychloroquine, according to a letter submitted for the Congressional Record.
There’s no indication such a request was made. But in mid-August, Johnson and fellow Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas wrote the FDA seeking an explanation for the denial to reinstate hydroxychloroquine’s authorization. Johnson also chaired a Senate committee hearing in November 2020 on treatment options and complained that doctors who prescribed hydroxychloroquine for COVID had been “scorned.”
In the fall of 2020, the focus of both FDA and White House officials turned to the upcoming authorization of the first COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna.
As previously reported, the White House objected to an FDA requirement that vaccine makers gather two months of safety data before filing their applications, contending that condition would delay the launch of the shots. Trump had repeatedly stated the shots would be authorized before Election Day, despite government scientists signaling that timeline was unlikely.
The committee report suggested that the FDA’s guidance for vaccine manufacturers was delayed more than three weeks — from mid-September until early October — due to White House concerns.
Hahn told investigators the agency faced “pushback about the issue” from multiple officials, including Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, who told the FDA commissioner on Sept. 23, 2020, that the White House would not sign off on the two-month requirement.
On Oct. 6, the FDA quietly published its vaccine guidelines as part of a larger set of documents for drugmakers. After the materials posted online, Hahn said Meadows called him to indicate that the FDA guidelines were approved.
The online publication drew fury from the president on Twitter.
“New FDA rules make it more difficult for them to speed up vaccines for approval before Election Day. Just another political hit job!” Trump tweeted at his FDA commissioner.

NSW bureaucrat's future in the spotlight
NSW Trade Minister Alister Henskens has refused to vouch for his department secretary Amy Brown, days after she relinquished her role at Investment NSW and went on leave.
In a testy exchange with One Nation MP Mark Latham, the minister refused to declare his confidence in Ms Brown.
"I'm not responsible for the employment functions of Amy Brown," Mr Henskens said during a parliamentary hearing on Thursday.
Ms Brown was named in an independent review released earlier in August, conducted by former NDIS commissioner Graeme Head.
He criticised her role in the appointment of former deputy premier John Barilaro to a $500,000-a-year tax-payer funded US trade job.
Mr Barilaro withdrew from the coveted role in June, citing media pressure, and subsequently faced an inquiry.
The review found Ms Brown had been indirectly influenced by then-trade minister Stuart Ayres' preference for who should get the New York-based role.
Mr Latham pushed on with his line of questioning.
"But practically ... ministers are responsible for interaction reports and the performance of their departmental heads. Isn't that the case?"
"I disagree," Mr Henskens replied.
Ms Brown was due to appear at Thursday's hearing but has taken four weeks' leave.
She relinquished her role as CEO of Investment NSW on August 11, but remains secretary of the Department of Enterprise, Investment and Trade.
Mr Latham again asked Mr Henskens if he maintained faith in her abilities as trade department secretary.
The minister said Ms Brown reported directly to Department of Premier and Cabinet Secretary Michael Coutts-Trotter and any employment decisions about her future would be taken by him.
Mr Latham asked if the minister planned to talk with "Mr Coutts-Trotter about removing Ms Brown because of ... incompetence in the Barilaro matter".
"That is a matter for others, rather than me," Mr Henskens replied.
Mr Ayres resigned as minister earlier in August after a draft excerpt from the Head review raised questions about whether he breached the ministerial code of conduct with his involvement.
The review found Mr Barilaro's appointment was not kept at arm's length from government.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said the appointment process was "flawed from the outset". | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11143951/NSW-bureaucrats-future-spotlight.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-25T02:39:17Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11143951/NSW-bureaucrats-future-spotlight.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Q. I will be retiring soon. I currently live in New Jersey, but when I retire, I plan to live abroad, but in different countries with a three-month stay in each. I will be living in Airbnbs and I won’t have a home or rental in New Jersey. Given that I won’t have a fixed mailing address, how can I let New Jersey know I am moving out for good so the state won’t tax me when I withdraw from my IRA?
— Traveler
A. Congrats on the new adventure.
This is a very exciting move.
The easy answer to your question is to tell your IRA custodian to stop withholding New Jersey taxes from your IRA distributions, said Bernie Kiely, a certified financial planner and certified public accountant with Kiely Capital Management in Morristown.
But the harder question, he said, is: How will the world reach out to you when you have no fixed address? How would the IRS contact you or how would Social Security contact you?
Kiely he gets his financial statements online, but the institutions still have his home address.
“If I die, the insurance company would send my wife a check. They would mail it to my home address,” he said.
When you tell your IRA custodian that you are no longer a New Jersey resident they will ask you for your new address.
“One solution is to have an agent act on your behalf. This agent can be a relative, a friend or your attorney. You would use you agent’s mailing address as your address,” he said. “Periodically your agent would forward any mail to you that you need to see to wherever you are currently in the world.”
If your agent is in New Jersey, it wouldn’t make you a New Jersey resident, he said.
“When I was in the Navy I was usually at sea. My fixed address was Fleet Post Office New York. That didn’t make me a New York resident,” he said.
Also remember that every U.S. citizen or resident must file a federal income tax return if they make more than the standard deduction, Kiely said. This is regardless of where in the world they earned the income, he said.

Big Brothers Big Sisters teams up with MSU students
MSU Collegiate Scholars Program pairs elementary school students with MSU student mentors.
WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) - Behind most success stories, there’s usually one thing in common; a great mentor. Plato had Socrates; Bill Gates had Warren Buffet. Heck, even Harry Potter had a mentor in the form of Dumbledore. And, thanks to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Wichita County, mentor-mentee relationships are returning to the campus of Midwestern State University.
“It’s really rewarding at the end of the day. It seems like a lot, but, what you give to the program, you’re going to get right back,” MSU student Aliya Muhammad said.
Aliya and fellow MSU student MD Abubakkar are returning mentors for the MSU Collegiate Scholars program.
The program has paired current MSU students with third and fourth graders from Ben Milam and Scotland Park Elementary School for the last six years. Students visit twice a month with their MSU mentor to play games, hang out, and most importantly, have an older figure to lean on.
“They come to a college campus, and they’re surrounded by ambitious, intelligent, hard-working people who are doing something with their life,” Big Brothers Big Sisters Marketing and Development Director Jean Hall said.
Mentors like Abubakkar say they often see themselves in their mentees.
Abubakkar grew up in a family with all girls and went to his uncle for things he couldn’t talk to his parents about or have a sense of brotherhood he missed out on with so many sisters. Today, Abubakkar serves as that uncle for someone else and hopes to continue.
“He came to hug me when we were leaving for the whole summer. That was emotional and one of the high points for me when I realized I really bonded with the kid,” Abubakkar said. “When we are successful, we are someone they can look up to.”
Life changing; It’s what can happen for many mentees with this program, and, more often than not, with the mentor as well.
“It’s probably going to change your life and that kid’s life as well,” Abubakkar said.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis learned who his Democratic challenger will be this fall. The impact of redistricting was on full display. Democrats sorted through rivalries amongst themselves. And the issue of abortion rights may give Democrats a boost in a tough election year.
The most intense stretch of the midterm primary season ended Tuesday with results that will set up fierce general election contests across the United States.
Takeaways from Tuesday’s contests in Florida and New York:
ABORTION WILD CARD
Midterm elections are usually miserable for the party in power. But Democrats hope one of their biggest losses in memory may ultimately salvage 2022 for them.
Ever since the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court revoked the constitutional right for a woman to obtain an abortion, Democrats have seen a boost in donations, polling and performance in special elections for open congressional seats. The latest came Tuesday in a Hudson Valley swing district that, in a Republican wave year, should have been an easy GOP win. Instead, Democratic Ulster County executive Pat Ryan defeated his Republican counterpart from Duchess County, Marc Molinaro.
The stakes, governing-wise, were small — the seat will disappear in the fall as a new congressional map goes into effect. But because the race became a referendum on abortion after the high court’s ruling, the political implications are huge. It comes after a ballot measure to ban the procedure was crushed in solidly conservative Kansas.
Republicans were anticipating a typical midterm landslide, with inflation high and President Joe Biden’s approval rating low. It may still end up a solid GOP year, but Ryan’s win is the latest indication that Democrats don’t have to abandon hope.
DESANTIS FLEXES HIS MUSCLE
One Florida politician wasn’t facing a primary challenge on Tuesday but made sure to dominate the news anyway — DeSantis.
DeSantis is considered former President Donald Trump’s top rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, partly because of the way he’s leaned into political and cultural divides in the Sunshine State. On Tuesday, he demonstrated why.
The governor began the day with a Cabinet meeting, which included the only Democrat elected statewide in Florida, Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried. She was competing for her party’s nomination to face DeSantis that evening.
DeSantis shook Fried’s hand as the meeting concluded and told her “good luck” before criticizing her campaign and predicting — accurately, it turned out — her loss in brief remarks to reporters.
“I think that you know she had an opportunity as being the only Democrat elected statewide to exercise some leadership and maybe get some things done and instead she’s used her time to try and smear me on a daily basis, that’s all she does,” DeSantis said of Fried.
After polls closed in the evening, DeSantis grabbed the spotlight again, speaking to a crowd in Miami. “We’re not going to let this state be overrun by woke ideology, we will fight the woke in the business, we will fight the woke in government agencies, we will fight the woke in our schools,” DeSantis said. “We will never, ever surrender to the woke agenda. Florida is the state where woke goes to die.”
Expect to hear a lot more like that from DeSantis in the months — and possibly years — ahead.
GERRYMANDERING’S LONG SHADOW
Florida and New York, which held primary elections Tuesday, were two of the states whose legislative maps were most radically redrawn this year to favor one political party. It was part of a centuries-old political gambit known as gerrymandering.
But Tuesday night showed two different sides of gerrymandering. The New York map that Democrats redrew to ruthlessly target vulnerable Republicans got tossed out by the state’s highest court as an illegal partisan act.
The map was redrawn to be more balanced, disregarding the political fortunes of some of New York’s most prominent members of Congress and lumping several high-profile lawmakers in the same district in a push for equity. Ignoring scattered protests that its April ruling came too late in the process to change the map, the high court moved the state’s congressional primary to Tuesday, two months after its June primary for state offices.
That’s why New York’s Democratic primaries Tuesday were so fractious and chaotic.
In contrast, Florida’s Republican-appointed State Supreme Court declined to change the partisan map that DeSantis pushed the Republican-controlled Florida legislature to approve. Unlike the New York court, the Florida court declined to mess with the map close to the election.
As a result, Florida’s incumbent House members generally stayed put Tuesday night, not forced into any career-ending primary battles because of districts being moved. The great exception was Rep. Charlie Crist, who ran for — and won — the Democratic nomination for governor partly because DeSantis’ map transformed his district into a solidly Republican one. The new map also effectively eliminated two seats, currently represented in Washington by Black Democrats, where African Americans comprise the largest share of voters.
Nationally, both parties tried to gerrymander during the past redistricting cycle, but Democrats were reined in slightly more than Republicans — largely due to Florida and New York. Florida’s top court may change that in the coming years when it rules on challenges to DeSantis’ maps.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering multiple cases that could change the ability of courts to redistrict gerrymanders. That may help determine whether we see more congressional primaries like New York’s, or more like Florida’s.
DEMOCRATIC DIVISIONS
It’s been muted by the spectacle of Trump’s makeover of the GOP, but Democrats also spent the primary season torn over the direction of their party.
Left-wing contenders continued to mount primary challenges to centrist Democrats. The left lost its most prominent bids to dislodge incumbent House members in south Texas and Cleveland.
Two new losses came Tuesday, when a liberal state senator was crushed by Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney in a congressional primary north of New York City. And attorney Dan Goldman, who worked on Trump’s first impeachment, narrowly beat a bevy of more progressive rivals in a primary for a congressional seat centered in Brooklyn.
But the left has won some victories this primary season, nabbing a nomination for a House seat in Pennsylvania and seeing one of its favorite politicians, that state’s lieutenant governor, John Fetterman, win the party’s nomination for Senate.
Neither side has been crushed, so expect more left-on-center primaries next election cycle.
TRUMP’S PARTY, WITH AN ASTERISK
Trump set out to demonstrate his dominance of the GOP this primary season, and he succeeded — to a point.
His approval helped set the party’s Senate field and was pivotal in a number of hotly contested primaries. He claimed his biggest prize last week, when his chosen candidate beat Rep. Liz Cheney in Wyoming’s Republican primary. On Tuesday, Trump’s chosen candidate, Air Force veteran and conservative activist Anna Luna, won her primary in an open GOP-leaning seat on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
But Trump had some huge humiliations — especially when he tried to intervene in governor’s races in Idaho, Nebraska and especially Georgia, where Trump failed to oust Gov. Brian Kemp for refusing to overturn the 2020 election in his state and award it to Trump.
Even more significantly, Trump elevated candidates who may not be able to win competitive races — or may even pose a threat to democracy itself. Last week, the GOP’s Senate leader, Mitch McConnell, warned that his party may not win a Senate majority due to “candidate quality” among its nominees. They include Trump-backed candidates struggling in swing states, like Herschel Walker in Georgia, JD Vance in Ohio and Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania.
Others, like the GOP’s nominees for Pennsylvania governor, Doug Mastriano, and Arizona governor, Kari Lake, have denied that Trump lost the 2020 election, raising questions about whether they’d certify the actual winners of future elections if they take over their statehouses.
Trump does not always have to intercede for extreme candidates who have mimicked his style to rise in Republican primaries. On Tuesday, Laura Loomer, a conservative provocateur who’s been banned from several social media websites for posting anti-Muslim remarks, surprised many with a strong — albeit unsuccessful — showing in a primary challenge to 73-year-old Florida Rep. Daniel Webster.
Still, Trump’s effect on the GOP became immeasurable this primary season.

LEESBURG — The Lee Middle School West Trojans blew past Radium Springs 32-8 Wednesday afternoon behind a strong rushing game led by Jace Murray, Jordan Bush and Dominique Ball.
Murray opened up the offense for the Trojans with two nice runs that pushed the ball across midfield and down to the Panther 45-yard line. One play later, Bush raced around the left side of the line and past the Panther defense for the touchdown. Murray went through the line for the two-point conversion and Lee led 8-0.
The Panthers responded with a 59-yard touchdown run of their own on their third play from scrimmage but the run was called back because of a holding penalty. On the next play, Lee West's Ayden Mazaiegos intercepted a Panther pass and the Trojans had possession at the Panther 38.
On the first play of that possession, quarterback Ball picked up 10 yards, then a couple of plays later, he started toward the right side of the field, cut back and went through the Panther defense on the left side and raced in for a 19-yard touchdown. Murray dove in for the two-point conversion to make it 16-0.
A fumble recovery by Ball and an interception by Kadarius Jackson kept the Panther offense off the field.
In the third quarter, the Trojans got possession first and Murray hit another nice run down to the 20 yard line. Moments later, Ball squeezed through the line on a quarterback keeper for the third Trojan touchdown. Ball then hit Mazariegos for the two-point conversion to make the score 24-0.
The Trojans pushed the score to 32-0 late in the third on a 16-yard touchdown pass to Maraziegos and then Bush scored the two-point conversion.
The Panthers scored their only touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter on a 16-yard touchdown pass and then ran in for the two point conversion.

Google and a team of university researchers have hit on what they say could be an effective way to make people more impervious to the harmful impact of online misinformation.
In experiments, the researchers showed people videos that explain how things like emotionally charged language or false comparisons can help persuade people to believe false claims.
The people who saw the videos were later tested and found to be better able to distinguish false claims from accurate information.
It’s an approach called pre-bunking, and university researchers and Google say it holds promise as a relatively easy and effective way to bolster critical thinking and make people more able to resist misinformation.

Which wall-mounted drying rack is best?
Looking to save space and money when you dry your clothing? A wall-mounted drying rack kills two birds with one stone by saving you space and economizing on the costs of using a dryer. It also keeps your clothes out of the elements so they don’t get sun damaged, as they might on an outdoor clothesline. For a top-tier mounted rack that will maximize your hanging space, check out the Aero-W Stainless Steel Folding and Drying Rack.
What to know before you buy a wall-mounted drying rack
Dimensions
Unlike standing drying racks that can fold up and be stored, mounted racks have to be attached to your wall (typically with a drill, but sometimes also with nails or other adjustable attachments). Because of this, they’re a permanent fixture once they’re installed. It pays to be sure that the dimensions of the mounted rack will fit your space. Otherwise, they might end up being an overhead hazard, blocking your other furniture, or becoming a pain to use.
Material
The three most common materials for mounted racks are:
- Plastic: Cheap, sturdy, and lightweight, plastic is also rustproof and works well to hang small items of clothing. However, it may not be heavy-duty enough to hold up large amounts of clothing. It’s also not the prettiest material.
- Metal: The most popular of materials for mounted racks, metal makes for a sturdy base for your heavier clothes to hang from. Make sure it’s rustproof.
- Wood: While it’s nice on the eyes, wood is both expensive and potentially prone to damage and even rot if it’s not been sealed properly. It may also bleed onto your clothes if it’s been stained poorly.
Foldability
Some wall-mounted drying racks can fold back into the wall, saving you space when it’s not in use. Others remain as is, and may take up more space, which might not be a problem if they’ll be in an otherwise unused part of your laundry room.
What to look for in a quality wall-mounted drying rack
Number of racks
Some drying racks have just one rack to hang clothes from; others offer two, three or more. For lighter clothing, you can use multiple racks without weighing your wall down; for blankets, a single rack is best. You don’t want to put too much weight on your rack, as it might pull out of the wall.
Colors and styles
While the practicality of a drying rack matters most, choosing a stylish option matters if you will place it in a visible part of your home. Finding racks with chic colors or attractive sealed wood can ensure that your mounted rack won’t turn into an eyesore.
Adjustability
Racks with adjustable lengths and widths can help give you the flexibility to hang larger or smaller pieces as you wish. Be sure to check that your space can accommodate even the extended length or width of an adjustable rack.
How much you can expect to spend on a wall-mounted drying rack
A mounted drying rack costs $25-$150. Plastic is the least expensive, typically costing $25-$35. Metal and wood can cost $40-$150, depending on the size, quality of the material, and the design.
Wall-mounted drying rack FAQ
How do I avoid getting mold when drying my clothing indoors?
A. Being careful with how you dry your clothing inside your home can save you from the headache of mold removal. Try these tricks:
- Use a dehumidifier in tandem with an indoor drying rack. This will rid your space of excess humidity.
- Consider opening the windows and getting some good ventilation into the room, if possible.
- Don’t layer clothing items on top of each other. Aside from getting wrinkled, they won’t dry properly, increasing the chance of trapped moisture.
Will I damage my walls by installing a wall-mounted drying rack?
A. While a mounted drying rack is a permanent installment that will need to be drilled or otherwise affixed to your wall, it doesn’t have to cause irreparable damage. Here are a few tips:
- For starters, make sure to never drill into a stud in your wall.
- Next, check to make sure you won’t be drilling or hammering into a cable in your wall.
- Finally, ensure that the weight of the mounted rack won’t be too heavy for the material of your wall to hold up.

TDP MLA alleges misuse of powers by GVMC Commissioner
Telugu Desam Party MLA Visakhapatnam (East) Velagapudi Ramakrishna Babu has alleged that at a time when number of wards lack basis facilities due to lack of funds, about ₹1.96 crore of GVMC funds were sanctioned to modernise GVMC Commissioner’s building.
In a letter to GVMC Commissioner G Lakshmisha, MLA V Ramakrishna Babu hase asked how fair it is to allot such a huge amount when there is funds shortage issue.
"The GVMC is collecting user charges for garbage collection and has also burdened people by increasing property tax. In many areas, the corporation is also unable to repair potholes. In this situation, allocating Rs 1.96 crore for building block, is it not misusing power?,” the MLA questioned the commissioner. Eom

MAJURO, Marshall Islands, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gate.io Group has announced the launch of its over-the-counter trading platform Gate OTC, which will provide fully-licensed OTC crypto trading services catered to institutions and high-net-worth individuals. Services are offered in various countries around the world, supporting several mainstream cryptocurrencies.
The launch of Gate OTC comes as Gate MENA DMCC acquired a license from the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) to engage in proprietary trading in crypto commodities. All services comply with United Arab Emirates regulations, including KYC, AML, and CFT regulatory standards.
Tom Yang, EVP at Gate.io Group, said, "We've seen an increase in demand for high-quality OTC services, especially from big players entering crypto from traditional finance. To meet our existing and future clients' ever-growing needs, we've launched a dedicated and robust OTC platform with security, comprehensivity, and convenience at its core."
Gate OTC will facilitate large block trades while retaining privacy and minimizing the impact on market price. OTC trading offers an alternative to executing large trades on the buy/sell market order book. Large order book trades can have heavy price impacts, long execution times, and increased risk. By transacting directly with the OTC platform, investors can better avoid such risks, as trades are based on quotes with locked-in pricing and executed independently of the order books.
The new platform features 24/7 one-on-one professional advisor support and on-demand customer service. Additionally, to bolster the platform's security and regulatory compliance measures, Gate OTC partners with leading firms such as Cynopsis Solutions and Coinfirm.
To learn more or to apply for a Gate OTC account, users can email otc@gate.io

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick has called the Rev. Dr. Kharma Amos as their new settled minister. Kharma comes to UUCB with more than 20 years of professional ministry experience and social justice activism. When asked why she was drawn to the Brunswick UU congregation, Rev. Amos credits the church’s deep historical roots, active work for justice and human rights, and dynamic engagement with people of many religious heritages and beliefs who share a commitment to spiritual growth, building deep and authentic community, and trying to make the world better.
Rev. Kharma’s first Sunday leading services will be at UUCB’s annual “Homecoming” service, which will take place at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 11 at its downtown location at the corner of Pleasant and Middle Streets in Brunswick. Those who wish to join virtually may do so via the church’s YouTube channel: UUCB AV. Immediately following the service, there will be a brown bag picnic on the Brunswick Town Mall (“the green”), which will include activities for children led by the Director of Religious Exploration, Toben Cooney-Callnan. All are welcome.
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick is part of the Unitarian Universalist Association, a diverse and inclusive faith made up of 1,000-plus congregations. Unitarian Universalists are committed to seven principles that hold closely the worth and dignity of each person as sacred, the need for justice and compassion, and the right to choose one’s own beliefs. The predecessor congregation to the current church, the First Universalist Society of Brunswick, was organized in 1812, and there has been a stable Unitarian presence in Brunswick since 1830. The current church building, a modern structure powered by solar energy, occupies the same location as their previous building that was destroyed by fire in 2011. Among many various programs, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick is known for its “Concerts for a Cause,” which brings a number of renowned artists to our community each year. Proceeds from the concerts benefit local charities as well as the church’s other ministries. For more information, visit uubrunswick.org
Rev. Dr. Kharma Amos (she/hers) is an ordained minister with 20 years of professional experience in pastoral ministry and denominational leadership. Rev. Amos holds plural ministerial standing in the Unitarian Universalist Association where she was granted preliminary fellowship in 2020, as well as the Metropolitan Community Churches where she was originally ordained in 2002. She is a preacher, activist, writer, singer, educator, fundraiser, and administrator with a passion for engaging others who are committed to spiritual growth, inclusive community, and social justice.
Prior to beginning her work as the settled Minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick, Kharma served full-time as the Team Lead for Resource Development for Metropolitan Community Churches, where she was a member of the Senior Leadership Team and managed the denominational staff responsible for finance, fundraising & development, communications, IT, and the creation of resources for ministers and congregations. She also served as the half-time Minister of the Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware.
Kharma received a bachelor of arts in religious studies from the University of Oregon (1998), a master of divinity degree from Lancaster Theological Seminary (2002), and a doctor of ministry degree from the Episcopal Divinity School (2008). She also served on the Board of Trustees of Lancaster Theological Seminary for several years.
Kharma was born in Springfield, Missouri and has lived and worked professionally in Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, and Delaware. She currently lives in Lisbon with her wife, the Rev. Diane Fisher, a proud Canadian retiring from a 30-year career in ministry. They make their home with three wise cats and one extraordinarily spoiled dog. | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/08/24/bdn-maine/church-calls-new-minister-and-celebrates-homecoming-sunday-on-sept-11/ | 2022-08-25T03:18:56Z | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/08/24/bdn-maine/church-calls-new-minister-and-celebrates-homecoming-sunday-on-sept-11/ | true |

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — One week after falling to Texas here in South Williamsport, the boys from Hollidaysburg Little League were back on the field here at Lamade Stadium for a nail-biting rematch.
From heartbreak to a hot streak.
The Pennsylvania team took a loss in its first game of the Little League World Series but facing elimination, the kids quickly turned things around.
The "Bull Power" chants intensified as the team rattled off three straight wins, including a 10-nothing rout of the team from the Great Lakes region.
Fans from Hollidaysburg could hardly believe what they had seen.
"We are just out of our skin that we can come and do this. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Beverly Richards, Hollidaysburg.
"It's surreal. It's so exciting. I go to work in between games, I try to, and I can't focus on anything. It's just baseball," said Megan Dively.
Megan, watching her son Alex play on Little League's biggest stage, says the series has been a blur.
She was still confident ahead of the team's toughest test, facing off against a Pearland, Texas, team that won the first meeting 8-3.
Megan had just one thing on her mind.
"A win, a big win. I don't like the close ones. They make me too nervous," she said.
"It's not like it's the first time we've had a rematch. We got to come back and face the team we lost to, both at states and regionals. It's been a lot of redemption," said Jason Link.
Jason Link's son, Chase, has been a big part of the team's resurgence, rocketing three home runs in the series. His father hoped to see the bats come alive again.
It's been fun. It's been nice to see him kinda get back into him and letting the pressure kind of slide off," Jason said.
Just before Hollidaysburg entered Lamade Stadium with a head of steam, they heard an encouraging word from Matt Jones, head baseball coach at Shippensburg University, where Hollidaysburg Manager Jim McGough played.
"There's a lot that goes on here. Just to try and reel it in and focus on the next pitch," Jones said.
The stadium filled up again as fans from across the commonwealth anxiously watched the first moments, knowing the importance of every pitch.
But "Bull Power" would sadly not be enough to propel the Hollidaysburg team past a tough Texas team that displayed power of its own, taking the victory 8-4.
While their time here at the Little League World Series may be over, Hollidaysburg players, parents, and fans will not forget their time in South Williamsport.

What’s a Pell grant? Recipients can get $20,000 in student loan forgiveness
NEW YORK (AP) - President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness program announced on Wednesday aims to provide $10,000 in student debt cancellation for millions of Americans.
But for federal Pell grant recipients, that amount is even higher: $20,000.
So what exactly is a Pell grant? And why is there a special benefit for people who got one?
Created by the Higher Education Act in 1965 as a way to promote access to education, federal Pell grants are special scholarships reserved for undergraduates and certain other students with the most significant financial need. The grants generally don’t need to be paid back, but they often don’t cover the full cost of college — so recipients take out additional loans.
The Biden administration is targeting Pell grant recipients for additional forgiveness “to smooth the transition back to repayment and help borrowers at highest risk of delinquencies or default once payments resume,” according to the Department of Education.
Roughly 27 million recipients of Pell grants will now be eligible for loan forgiveness. But for some, the $20,000 will hardly make a dent.
Lynn Hunt, a data analyst in Portland, Oregon, is a Pell grant recipient who borrowed somewhere around $45,000 to $50,000 to attend the University of Wisconsin and has paid back about $15,000 but still owes $70,000 because of interest.
“I know (Biden) mentioned, you know, $20,000 for Pell grants, but the people that had Pell grants had to take out the most loans,” Hunt said. “So $20,000 isn’t helping most of those people in any substantial manner. And the thing that happens every time when we get one of these half measures is, the can gets kicked for another decade.”
For Yaneth Peña, however, the money will make a difference. Peña graduated from North Carolina State University in 2014. She obtained about $4,000 in grants and approximately $25,000 in federal loans. Under Biden’s forgiveness plan, her debt would be whittled down to $5,000.
Relieved of the financial burden, Peña said she could now seriously pursue a graduate degree — something she said she hesitated to consider in the past because of her loans.
“This could like really change everything,” Peña said.
Pell grant recipients typically experience more challenges repaying their debt, the Department of Education notes. In the academic year of 2020-21, around 30% of all students that enrolled in undergraduate programs in the United States were awarded Pell grants and nearly every recipient came from a family that made less than $60,000 a year.
Almost all Pell grant recipients are independent students or dependent students from the bottom half of the income distribution, according to a report from the Urban Institute on college affordability.
Through the program, lower-income Americans can currently receive up to $6,895 annually for roughly six years.
If you’re not sure if you received a federal Pell grant, review any financial aid award letters administered through the Office of Federal Student Aid.

MAINE, USA — The Maine Lobstering Union is agreeing to drop part of its lawsuit against the National Marine Fisheries Services, where the federal agency is closing a 960-square-mile section of the Gulf of Maine to lobster fishers.
Federal regulators said this section of ocean is prime habitat for North Atlantic right whales and argued blocking that part of the ocean off from buoy lines from Oct. 18 to Jan. 31, 2023, would help reduce the risk posed to entanglements between lobster gear and whales.
Alfred C Frawley with McCloskey, Mina, Cunniff, and Frawley, LLC, said in an email the move was made as federal agencies add more regulations against the lobster industry.
"The MLU has taken the procedural step of agreeing to dismiss its case in Maine, which was largely mooted by the DC Court’s recent decision, in order to focus its resources on the ongoing litigation in DC and on ensuring that NMFS issues a new rule that both protects the North Atlantic right whale and ensures the sustainability of Maine’s lobster fishery," Frawley said in an email to NEWS CENTER Maine.
The area, known as LMA 1, is home to hundreds of fishermen like Tyler Turner of Portland.
If the closure stands without a state-level court injunction, then Turner said he would lose out on at least half his income.
“It’s going to be catastrophic. It’s going to be crippling. I just want to be able to work. I can relieve myself. I don’t need someone telling me where I can’t go,” Turner said.
Turner is 36 and said he’s fished since he was 10 years old without seeing a single North Atlantic right whale, which is at the center of debate between lobstermen and environmental groups.
NOAA officials maintain that while no right whale deaths have been linked to Maine lobster gear, it’s possible it could have contributed to injury and death, as Maine didn’t require its lobstermen to mark their gear until 2020.
Frawley said that while NOAA creates new laws for the lobster industry after a DC judge ruled its approach was not doing enough to protect whales, it's a better financial decision to divert resources to the other legal matters involving Maine lobstermen.
"The MLU continues to believe that any closure of lobster fishing in the Northern Gulf of Maine is unjustified based on the best science available and will continue to challenge the LMA 1 closure area in connection with the pending DC litigation and the ongoing NMFS rulemaking process," Frawley wrote in an email.
NOAA officials are expected to present new guidelines, including the closure of LMA 1, sometime in the fall. | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/tech/science/environment/maine-lobstering-union-drops-part-of-lawsuit-against-noaa-fisheries-environment/97-dda3dd2e-7583-4b37-a676-c8233417c96e | 2022-08-25T03:30:39Z | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/tech/science/environment/maine-lobstering-union-drops-part-of-lawsuit-against-noaa-fisheries-environment/97-dda3dd2e-7583-4b37-a676-c8233417c96e | true |
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A workplace safety training took place on Wednesday afternoon at the Western Safety Institute Training Center in to help nine Afghanistan refugees and other young adults prepare to join the workforce.
Students learned a variety of safety and job readiness skills to help them prepare for their future careers. The North State Building Industry Foundation along with the Health and Education Council partnered to make the two-week training event happen.
"We've brought in over 31 students to experience safety training, harness fall protection, first aid and CPR. We've been working with them for over two weeks now," said La Vonnia De Loach-Haggerty, director of Workforce Programs at North State Building Industry Association Foundation.
"Each of the kids in our program are getting $500 stipend. They're earning while they're learning," said Martin Ross, deputy director of External Affairs & Partnerships and Workforce Development for the Health and Education Council.
Students also got hands-on experience with a forklift and learned how to descend into a manhole, crawl through narrow underground pipes and build scaffolding.
"In this program, I want to learn about construction and everything and think it's a good program," said student Mohammad Karimy.
The training comes a year after the Taliban's resurgence in Afghanistan, which led many people to flee their country and seek refuge in the U.S.
"It's so hard to find a job right now in Afghanistan. It's a very bad situation right now in Afghanistan," said student Najia Karimy.
With a new life in Sacramento, the refugees in the program are walking away with valuable knowledge and skills and hope to put them to good use in the near future.
"I'm here to learn how to be successful in life," Karimy said.

Truckee woman was hit with a $2,100 bill for a tetanus shot. Our inquiries helped drop those charges
We all know going to the emergency room will cost you big time, but a Northern California woman is facing serious sticker shock after seeing the breakdown of costs after a recent trip to the hospital.
The most expensive part of the bill wasn't even the surgery but rather a tetanus shot. Kate Spurry of Truckee injured her foot as she was getting ready to go white-water rafting in the American River.
"Literally as we were packing the boats up the trailer fell on my foot so I didn't ever even get in the water," Spurry said. "I had broken my foot and there was a bone sticking out. It was pretty obvious I needed the nearest ER."
Spurry said her friends and family rushed her to Marshall Medical Center in Placerville where she underwent surgery. There, she said she received great care as they stitched her up, and gave her antibiotics and a tetanus shot before sending her on her way with some crutches and a cast.
That is when the headache started.
Spurry showed KCRA 3 Investigates' Brittany Johnson a copy of her Medical Explanation of Benefits from her insurance company, which stated the cost of her tetanus shot was $2,180.63.
Spurry said she was "flabbergasted" when she opened up her bill.
Her insurance, under UnitedHealthcare, said it would cover some of the costs but noted that Spurry was responsible for $1,251.89.
"It was more than the actual procedure," Spurry said. "The actual procedure, which you can see here says surgery, is actually — I felt like that was a pretty good deal — that was a little over $1,300. So why would a shot that took about 10 seconds to administer, be twice that of a procedure that took well over an hour?"
In shock, Spurry said she called the hospital several times to try and make sure her bill was correct.
"The gal that I spoke to said, 'Nope, that's correct. Emergency care is always more expensive.'"
At her wit's end, Spurry contacted us for help.
We called around to various pharmacies to inquire about the cost of a tetanus shot before insurance and found the cost was anywhere from $60-$80.
KCRA 3 sent Spurry's information to Marshall Medical Center, along with a series of questions.
After our inquiries, the hospital said "A $2,000 tetanus shot is not acceptable," and it is now reviewing its pricing approach for all medications.
We received the following statement from Siri Nelson, President & CEO, Marshall Medical Center:
Healthcare pricing, especially drug pricing, is extremely complex. Our hospital has tens of thousands of charge codes for medications, dosages and applications for use as well as various mark-up algorithms and this can lead to errors. A $2,000 tetanus shot is not acceptable. When issues are brought to our attention, we appreciate the opportunity to examine our process, apologize, and make corrections as necessary. We are taking the opportunity now to review our pricing approach for all medications. We don't want access to basic medications to be cost prohibitive for patients. I want to thank those who have brought discrepancies to our attention so we can fix issues and learn how to improve the care and the experience we provide. We are partners with our patients in their health and wellbeing.
I also want to share that if patients receive a bill and they have questions about it, they can call the hospital's financial counselor. Financial counselors assist with helping patients apply for insurance coverage or offer other resources such as discount pricing and charity care.
We also reached out to Spurry's insurance to get to the bottom of the charge. Late Wednesday afternoon, a spokesperson from UnitedHealthcare said it "reprocessed the claim and she owed $0 for the tetanus shot under her plan," which means, according to the spokesperson, Spurry will not have to pay anything for the tetanus shot.
If people do get a surprise medical bill, UnitedHealthcare recommends the following:
- Try talking with the support staff at the hospital or doctor's office to request having the charge waived or reduced.
- If needed, some health plans offer access to resolution support to help negotiate on behalf of members with hospitals and care providers.
- If you receive a surprise bill from an out-of-network care provider, do not immediately pay the bill. Call the number on your insurance ID card to alert your health plan and check on assistance.
Again, Spurry did all of these things and even spoke with a financial counselor at the hospital who opened up a claim.
"I don't know what the outcome here is going to be. I'm not sure if what I'm doing is going to be effective," Spurry said. "But certainly, ask questions. Call the insurance company, ask questions, call the hospital, ask them questions." | https://www.kcra.com/article/truckee-woman-tetanus-shot-marshall-medical-center/40983739 | 2022-08-25T03:41:04Z | https://www.kcra.com/article/truckee-woman-tetanus-shot-marshall-medical-center/40983739 | false |
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ark. – The Arkansas State Police arrested a man Wednesday in connection to the death of a woman whose body was left on an abandoned driveway just north of Altus on August 10.

DONGGUAN, China, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A touch of cultural glamor will once again be added to Dongguan's Humen Town as it hosts the Second Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) Philatelic Exhibition on August 26. Beyond promoting stamp-collecting, the exhilarating event, as the GBA's high-end cultural activity held at the national level, will also increase the cultural exchanges between cities in the region.
On top of a staggering exhibition area of 10,000 square meters housing 1,192 exhibits, the exhibition features a 2,000-square-meter multifunctional hall for side events. Essentially a state-level gathering of competitive stamp displays, the event invites 750 exhibits from the GBA's philatelic associations, an increase of 300 exhibits from the previous session. And this would be the most appealing and much-awaited highlight. Completing this year's philatelic event is the show of over 50 types of rare postage stamps, outnumbering any previous Guangdong-hosted exhibition of this kind.
On the side of the four-day exhibition, a wide variety of non-competitive displays were held, said Wang Xiaoqiang, the office director of the secretariat for the exhibition's organizing committee. What merited attention, he continued, was how the debut of valuable antique stamps, such as the Penny Black, the world's first adhesive postage stamp, and the Dalong stamps, China's first set of stamps, and of postage stamps showcasing the GBA's urban landscape encouraged visitors to savor what these collections had to offer.
Besides the exciting philatelic exhibition, Humen has staged a raft of other events online and offline, including the Dongguan Shopping Festival and a creative night market, in August alone in a way that drives its economy and enables a booming consumer market. The spending of the town's businesses on promotion as a whole, expected to surpass the 10-million-yuan mark, will generate nearly 50 million yuan in sales of consumer goods.
By hosting an entirely new sort of philatelic exhibition, Humen promises to develop itself into a tourist resort with rich historical and cultural heritage, according to the town mayor Wu Qingqiu. That means the cultural feast will inspire the town to show its culture-rich image, boost consumption, and foster a stable economy.

An automated filter system can identify and filter out invasive Pacific salmon to prevent them from overwhelming and wiping out Norway's wild Atlantic salmon.
OSLO, Norway, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei and local partner Berlevåg Jeger-og Fiskerforening (BJFF) have successfully deployed an AI-powered filtering system in Norway's Storelva River that allows Atlantic salmon to pass upstream and filters Pacific salmon – an invasive species – into a holding tank.
Pacific salmon – also known as humpback salmon – were introduced into Russia's White Sea in the 1950s. Quickly making their way down Norway's coast, they began wreaking havoc on the local ecosystem. Alongside introducing new diseases, the invader's rapid reproduction cycle and aggressive competition for food threatens to overwhelm Atlantic salmon in hundreds of rivers along Norway's coastline.
In June 2022 under Huawei's TECH4ALL initiative, Huawei and BJFF deployed the filtering system to prevent Pacific salmon from entering the upstream channel of Norway's river system. A mechanical gate allows local Atlantic salmon and Arctic red-spotted salmon to continue upstream to complete their migratory spawning process. The invasive species is diverted to a holding tank for subsequent removal.
"This is a unique innovation, both in Norway and globally. With this high-tech solution, we have complete control of the river. Local river managers and local and central administrations along the coast have also shown great interest in the project," said BJFF President Geir Kristiansen.
The demand for a solution was urgent, and one shared by the community, government departments, regulators, river owners, and the aquaculture industry – wild Atlantic salmon are an integral part of Norway's identity, culture, and economy. In recent years, however, the number of Pacific salmon caught in Norway's rivers by sports anglers has skyrocketed. In 2019, 13,900 were caught, jumping to a record-breaking 111,700 in 2021 – 57% of all salmon caught in Norway. While almost all were in Troms and Finnmark, Pacific salmon catches have been recorded in every county.
In contrast, numbers of the native wild salmon have declined by a quarter from peak levels. The invasive species is largely responsible, with escaped and less genetically diverse farmed salmon exacerbating the problem by weakening the Atlantic salmon's genome after interbreeding.
"Norway's wild salmon are threatened by other species, including humpback salmon and escaped farmed salmon. The monitoring system using AI is helping to stop this and enable future-proof river management," said BJFF Administrator Tor Schulstad.
The data collected can also reveal accurate patterns of migratory behavior, monitor different types of fish populations, provide information for further research, and help develop measures to stop overfishing.
"Installing a diversion system in a turbulent river is an extremely challenging task. I was impressed with the efforts of our partners, BJFF, and the local community. Here, people aspire to prove the role that good management has in saving rivers from environmental disasters," said Vegard Kjenner, Technical Director at Huawei Norway.
As a world first, the solution had to be designed from scratch. In early 2021, algorithms were designed based on Huawei's machine vision technology to identify different fish species. Then in July 2021, Huawei and BJFF deployed a monitoring station equipped with an underwater camera in Storelva River. Providing a continuous video stream, the hardware coupled with the algorithm identifies Atlantic salmon with an accuracy of 91% and cuts manual labor requirements by 90%. Traditional methods are labor-intensive, relying on volunteers to stand in the river and identify Pacific salmon with the naked eye, mainly by the spots on their tails. This makes it hard to quantify the threat – many fish are missed and their sex is impossible to determine.
The next step is to deploy the solution in Norway's salmon farms to reduce the environmental harm caused by escaped farmed fish.

For Birmingham Times
The Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival return Saturday, August 27, in Birmingham’s Historic 4th Avenue District Downtown from noon – 8 pm. The annual one-day music festival has been presented annually since 2003. It has been two years since the jazz festival took place in the district due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but festival organizers are excited to bring back the event in what will be a day filled with food, fun, and of course, great music.
Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival is organized and managed by Urban Impact, Incorporated, a non-profit 501c3 organization and free and open to the public.
“It is so exciting to see the TASTE return in-person,” said Carla Youngblood, Operations Director for Urban Impact Birmingham. “Year after year we have seen this festival grow, bringing in thousands of people to the Historic 4th Avenue Business District. People come here for the fellowship, the history, and the culture. This Black Business District in its height was a second home to jazz greats, and this festival is a nod to them and our community. This is a tradition, and it is vital that we preserve that history, and promote it through programs like the TASTE.”
As a hub for Black commerce and culture during the days of segregation, the historic 4th Avenue Business District is one-of-a-kind. The district sets the scene for the tastemakers of yesterday and stands tall today as a testament to the resilience of African Americans here in Birmingham. Seeking to celebrate the spirit of the 4th Avenue Business district, the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, inspired by the “Taste of Chicago,” launched the first Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival just 19 years ago. The one-day festival has become a tradition and one of the most anticipated events of the summer here in the City of Birmingham.
“It’s a new 4th Avenue and a new Carver Theater,” says Dr. Leah Tucker, Director of the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame. “I don’t know any better way to celebrate a great new wave of positivity for the City of Birmingham, and the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame then to invite the public to come out and celebrate at the Taste of 4th Ave Jazz festival on Saturday, August 27th in the heart of the historic 4th Ave. District. Everyone come out and bring your lawn chairs and enjoy a fun day with food vendors and some great musical entertainment.”
Local non-profit Urban Impact Inc. remains devoted to keeping the thriving spirit of the Historic 4th Avenue Business District alive by hosting the annual Taste of the 4th Avenue Jazz Festival. The festival is currently accepting donations also to support efforts to revitalize and preserve the business district.
History
In the early 1900s, Jim Crow segregation laws kept African Americans from being welcomed into white establishments. Angry and in search of a solution that would impact the neighborhood, a few African American businessmen decided to create their own by building and establishing their own businesses. The neighborhood along 4th Avenue from 15th to 18th Street North developed as the City of Birmingham’s black business district. From black-owned banks, churches, doctor offices, movie theaters and nightclubs, black businesses flourished all through the 1960s. Some of the known businesses were the Champion Theater, Bohemian Bakery on Coplon’s corner, the legendary Dunbar Hotel and the Alabama Penny Savings Bank. In the 1960s, the 4th Avenue District was the mecca of the city.
There were dozens of successful businesses. However, once segregation laws were deemed illegal, the energy around the district changed. Many of the businesses set up shops in different parts of town to attract a more diverse customer base. The once booming business district became just another neglected neighborhood. With a handful of businesses still open, the area became a hub for drugs and crime.
Today
Refusing to let this piece of history disappear, Urban Impact, Inc. was founded in 1980 with the sole mission to preserve and redevelop the Historic 4th Avenue Business District. By the early 20th century, over 30% of black businesses in Birmingham were concentrated in the 4th Avenue Business District. The work of the agency would be executed through a series of public/private partnerships with the City of Birmingham and others. From community programs that focus on education, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy to events such as the Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival, much has been accomplished in the area.
The greater 4th Avenue Business District now includes the newly renovated Carver Theatre, which is home to the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame; The Colored Masonic Temple, Kelly Ingram Park, The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, St. Paul United Methodist Church, the A.G. Gaston Motel, which just also finished undergoing a major renovation and will serve as an educational hub & museum in the city; and many more.
Today, the 4th Avenue Business District is one of the few remaining Black business districts intact in the State of Alabama and in the Southeastern United States. The district covers 18th Street North to 15th Avenue North, Abraham Woods Boulevard to 2nd Avenue North.
Music Line-Up
This year’s headliner will be Houston, TX native Dr. Chelsey Green, a Billboard charting artist who was born into a family of jazz and funk musicians and started her performance career as a violinist at age 5. Her performance resume includes performances at the 62nd annual Grammy Awards, CBS Late Show, NPR Tiny Desk, Essence Music Festival, and many more. Birmingham artists who will also perform at the Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival include The Official Clutch, Vann Burchfield, Lillian Aleece, Deirdre Gaddis, and Logan The Entertainer.
Nationally-recognized and homegrown artists that have performed on the main stage of the Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival include Bobbi Humphrey, Kim Waters, Ben Tankard, Norman Brown, Euge Groove, Ronnie and Deborah Laws, Michael Ward, Joey Summerville, Dee Lucas, the Birmingham Heritage Band, Bo Berry, Daniel “Jose” Carr, Lonnie Liston Smith, Roy Lucas, The World Famous GoGo Brass Funk Band and many more.

Realmuto homers as Phillies top lowly Reds 7-5
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - J.T. Realmuto homered, Rhys Hoskins drove in three runs and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-5 on Wednesday night.
Jean Segura added three hits for the Phillies, who will go for the four-game series sweep on Thursday night. Cristopher Sánchez (2-1) struck out seven in six innings, and David Robertson got three outs for his 18th save.
"It wasn´t a lot of homers tonight or big hits, it was keeping the line moving," said Philadelphia's Alec Bohm, who had an RBI single. "Nobody was trying to do too much or be a hero."
Philadelphia is in second place in the NL wild-card standings, and it looks as if help is on the way.
Bryce Harper had three hits and two RBIs on Wednesday night in his second rehab start at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, including a game-ending double in the ninth.
"Not surprised," Bohm said. "We´re looking forward to getting him back."

The 2021 NL MVP, who has been out since June 25 with a broken left thumb, is eligible to return from the injured list on Thursday. The original plan was for Harper to remain in Triple-A until Saturday, but it´s possible that the timetable could be moved up, Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said.
"I haven´t talked to him yet," Thomson said of Harper. "I heard that he had another big night, so we´ll need to talk to him and see where he´s at."
Kyle Farmer and Stuart Fairchild homered for the Reds.
"They just beat us tonight," Farmer said. "We´re going to show up and work and try to win a ballgame every day. That´s our job, and that´s what we´re trying to do."
Sánchez, making a spot start to give Philadelphia´s regulars an extra day of rest, was charged with three runs and six hits.
Cincinnati put runners on first and third in the ninth, but Robertson got Farmer to bounce into a game-ending double play started by Bohm at third base.
"Anytime you can get a four-game sweep, I don´t care who it´s against, it´s not easy to do," Bohm said. "We´re looking to get another win tomorrow."
After failing to score with the bases loaded and one out in the first, Philadelphia took a 2-1 lead in the second on Matt Vierling´s RBI single and Hoskins´ run-scoring fielder´s choice off T.J. Zeuch (0-3).
Realmuto led off the third with his 14th homer, and Zeuch´s night was over later in the frame when he walked Kyle Schwarber with the bases loaded to make it 4-1. The Phillies scored two more in the inning when Art Warren walked Hoskins with the bases loaded and surrendered Bohm´s RBI single.
Zeuch was tagged for six runs and seven hits in 2 2/3 innings. He has a 15.19 ERA in three starts this season.
Farmer hit his seventh homer in the fourth. Jonathan India added an RBI double in the fifth, and TJ Friedl´s sacrifice fly trimmed Philadelphia´s lead to 6-4 in the seventh. But Hoskins responded with an RBI single in the bottom half of the seventh.
REVOLVING REDS
Chuckie Robinson made his big league debut at catcher, becoming the 58th player used by the Reds this season - a club record. Robinson singled and struck out in two at-bats.
STILL STREAKING
Philadelphia´s Nick Castellanos extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a fourth-inning single. He is batting .367 during the stretch.
TRAINER´S ROOM
Reds: India (leg) was lifted from the game after the sixth inning. ... INF Mike Moustakas was not in the lineup after injuring his left calf in the eighth inning on Tuesday. ... INF Matt Reynolds (left hip pain) returned to Cincinnati for treatment and further evaluation after being placed on the 10-day IL on Tuesday. Reynolds left in the seventh inning of Sunday´s 9-5 win at Pittsburgh due to hip soreness. ... RHP Hunter Strickland (right shoulder strain) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday and could face live hitters on Saturday. Strickland last pitched on Aug. 1.
UP NEXT
Reds RHP Justin Dunn (1-1, 6.08 ERA) opposes Phillies RHP Aaron Nola (8-10, 3.25 ERA) in the series finale Thursday night.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Uncertainty in the economy is shaking up the housing market.
Some Valley counties are considered to be 'at-risk' markets.
A company called ATTOM specializes in real estate data.
It crunched numbers to determine which markets could be at risk if the economic downturn continues.
Unfortunately, the Valley was well-represented on this list.
The factors ATTOM took into account while ranking 'at-risk' housing markets were: unemployment rates, affordability, foreclosure activity and percentage of underwater mortgages - instances where people owe more money that what their property is worth.
Rick Sharga of ATTOM says Valley counties tended to rank higher because of higher jobless rates than other parts of the US.
Madera County was the highest local county on the national list, ranking 14th.
"The percentage of income that it took someone to buy a house was a little over 40% - compare that to the national average of 26%," says Sharga.
"Foreclosure activity was a little higher in Madera than it was nationally but not something people should be overly worried about."
Sharga also noted a troubling trend in Kings County, which overall ranked 35th and was rated more affordable than Madera County.
"Almost 20% of borrowers in Kings County were underwater on their loans, which is one of the higher numbers we've seen anywhere in the country."
ATTOM's risk assessment was not designed to show which areas are in trouble.
"What we are trying to show here is areas that might be more prone to problems if we do have an economic downturn," says Sharga.
Sharga noted many of the California markets on the at-risk list were also heavily impacted during the great recession in 2008. He says some counties never fully recovered from the housing market crash.
"The cautionary flag is well worth waving," says Sharga. | https://abc30.com/at-risk-housing-markets-attom-madera-county-market/12163203/ | 2022-08-25T04:12:31Z | https://abc30.com/at-risk-housing-markets-attom-madera-county-market/12163203/ | true |
The first few dogs were good and well-behaved, but my roommates turned into baby-talking monsters around them. It was like a switch went off and they talked as if they were talking to toddlers endlessly. Once I noticed it, I couldn’t stop noticing it and it annoyed me to no end. After a few weeks, the dogs found homes and the baby talking stopped.
Well, now my roommates have decided to bring home a puppy, to keep. The thought of them talking in baby talk … forever … makes me want to scream. I previously casually mentioned the baby talking, and they both laughed it off and said they can’t help it. I haven’t mentioned it again because I’m fully aware I can’t control others, I can only control myself! But short of moving out, what can I do?
— Annoyed
Annoyed: It’s really just make peace with it or move out. I’m sorry. Or say no to the puppy. Or mention the irritation less casually, but then … I don’t know. First, squeaky talk is effective. And, you have the right to object, but you also seem to have an otherwise happy arrangement with old friends, and I would never advise breaking one of those up lightly.
Which brings up another possibility, that you’re maturing out of group living naturally — be it this group in particular or any group at all — and that message just happens to have been phrased as, “Who’s the bestest boyyyyyyeee!!!”
Liking your friends a lot is especially important now because puppies are an utter pain in the butt relative to adult dogs; I hope they know what they’re getting (you) into. In fact, their being baby-talking monsters might seem like your dream problem in retrospect when a puppy upends your lives. (Maybe adopting an older dog is a better fit for your household …)
Anyway. If it helps with the making-peace part, then please allow this dog person to point out that dogs freaking love the baby voice. Love it. I’m sorry. I learned it from a trainer, and my kids will never forgive her or me, but in my house I am queen of the dogs because I do the squeaky voice and my sons don’t, except to make fun of me and my squeaky voice. So, yeah.
Re: Doggy talk: Hi! I work with macho, burly guys who train dogs to work with police departments and even they do the baby voice. High, excited, squeaky voices out of literal Marines. The dogs love it when they’ve obeyed and it gets them excited to keep following instructions. Sorry but it’s a good thing in dog training.
— Anonymous
Anonymous: Don’t be sorry, be squeaky.
By the way, the baby voice makes dogs even more handsome. I have this on good authority. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/advice/2022/08/25/carolyn-hax-roommates-dog-baby-talk/ | 2022-08-25T04:12:37Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/advice/2022/08/25/carolyn-hax-roommates-dog-baby-talk/ | true |
George Springer carries Jays past Red Sox
George Springer's double on the first pitch of the 10th inning lifted the visiting Toronto Blue Jays to a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night.
Springer finished his 3-for-5 night by doubling high off the Green Monster to drive in Jackie Bradley Jr., giving Toronto its second straight win and sixth in seven games.
Alejandro Kirk also had three hits for the Blue Jays. Adam Cimber (10-5) pitched a scoreless, one-hit ninth inning to earn the win, and Jordan Romano recorded his 27th save.
Alex Verdugo, Franchy Cordero and Reese McGuire each had two hits for Boston, which has lost three straight and five of its last six games.
Ryan Brasier (0-3) took the loss after the previous three relievers -- Matt Barnes, Garrett Whitlock and John Schreiber -- allowed just three hits over four scoreless innings.
Jose Berrios overcame a shaky start for Toronto and worked six innings, striking out six and allowing two runs on five hits.
Boston starter Brayan Bello struck out seven in five innings of two-run ball.
After Enrique Hernandez drew a leadoff walk in the second, Cordero smacked an opposite-field, two-run shot to give the Red Sox a 2-0 edge.
In the fourth, Springer's leadoff single turned into the first Toronto run, as Kirk knocked an RBI base hit to left after Vladimir Guerrero Jr. walked and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. moved up both runners with a fielder's choice.
Whit Merrifield beat out a one-out infield single to get Toronto started in the fifth. Springer and Guerrero Jr. went on to log consecutive two-out hits to tie the score at 2-2.
Berrios allowed just three hits after Cordero's homer. Boston loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh against reliever Yimi Garcia, but Rob Refsnyder lined out to center to end the threat.
The Red Sox also left the bases full in the eighth after Verdugo's leadoff single and a Rafael Devers double inside the left field line put two in scoring position with one out.
McGuire started the ninth with a line-drive single to center, but a double play quickly ended Boston's hopes of walking off in regulation.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bobby Witt Jr. homered during a five-run rally in the seventh inning, leading Brady Singer and the Kansas City Royals over the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3 Wednesday night.
The Royals broke loose in the seventh against the Arizona bullpen. Kansas City finished with seven hits, snapping an eight-game streak of six hits or less.
Christian Walker hit his career-high 30th homer for Arizona, which has dropped four of five.
Singer (7-4) allowed only four hits, including a fifth-inning solo homer to Daulton Varsho, in seven innings. He is 4-1 over his past 10 starts, posting a 2.14 ERA in that span.
Gallen had his fifth scoreless outing in the past seven starts, with an 0.80 ERA in that time.
Kansas City tagged relievers Noe Ramirez (4-4) and Joe Mantiply for five runs in the seventh.
After Nicky Lopez made it 1-all with a suicide squeeze bunt, MJ Melendez hit a go-ahead single. Witt hit his team-leading 18th homer, a three-run drive to deep left-center field.
Witt has extra base hits in five of his last six games. He ranks first or second among major league rookies in extra-base hits (45), homers, doubles (21), triples (6), RBI (64), runs (63), and steals (24).
TRAINER’S ROOM
Royals RHP Josh Staumont (right biceps tendinitis) and RHP Zack Greinke (right forearm tightness) were placed on the 15-day injured list. RHP Collin Snider and LHP Anthony Misiewicz were recalled from Triple-A Omaha.
UP NEXT
Diamondbacks: LHP Tommy Henry (2-2, 3.57 ERA) starts Friday against White Sox RHP Johnny Cueto (6-5, 2.58) in Chicago.
Royals: LHP Kris Bubic (2-8, 5.29) host the San Diego Padres, who have not announced a starter.

Popular ‘Good Day L.A.’ anchor Michaela Pereira exits newscast
“Good Day L.A.” anchor Michaela Pereira, one of local TV’s most popular news personalities, is leaving Fox 11’s morning newscast.
Pereira, who returned to Los Angeles in 2020 to anchor a revamped broadcast after a high-profile stint at CNN and another at HLN, is expected to announce to viewers during Thursday’s telecast that she is leaving to explore “new opportunities.” Her last day will be Sept. 9.
“I came to the fantastic team at GDLA to help fulfill a mission,” Pereira wrote in a memo to the newsroom Wednesday. “It was centered in a time when the world was challenged in a way we couldn’t even begin to estimate nor fully understand. I am nearly 2 decades into my love affair with Los Angeles, this opportunity felt like the best way I could be of service and contribute to the effort to get the place we all call home through such a bizarre time.
“Now there is a calling again to explore,” she continued later in the note. “Over the last several months there have been some new opportunities that are calling me again — things that align with my personal mission and purpose. I feel compelled to create and dig into these new adventures. Of course, I will share more with you when I can.” She called her time at Fox 11 “a joy and a privilege.”
Newscasts on local stations including KCBS, KCAL and Fox 11 have instituted changes to broadcasts, including allowing anchors and reporters to work from home and incorporating social distancing
Pereira first became a local TV favorite as a co- anchor on “The KTLA Morning News,” which drew top ratings thanks to its upbeat tone and chemistry among its on-air talent. She left the newscast after nine years in 2013 when then-CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker recruited her to launch the network’s New York-based morning show “New Day” with Chris Cuomo and Kate Bolduan.
She returned to Los Angeles in 2017 to host her own show at sister channel HLN. That show ended in 2018. She joined Fox 11 two years later.
Acting Fox 11 news director Pete Wilgoren in a statement called Pereira’s departure “bittersweet,” calling her “a guiding force for much of our in-depth conversation during the pandemic — seeking answers from the experts and providing comfort to the viewers during uncertain times.”

Veteran forward Phil Kessel headed to Vegas on 1-year deal
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Vegas Golden Knights bolstered their forward depth by signing veteran Phil Kessel to a one-year, $1.5 million deal Wednesday.
The 34-year-old Kessel spent the past three seasons with the Arizona Coyotes. The two-time Stanley Cup champion has 399 goals and 557 assists in 1,204 career games with Boston, Toronto, Pittsburgh and Arizona.
Kessel has appeared in 982 consecutive NHL games, the longest active streak, and is seven away from tying Keith Yandle’s record of 989.
Last season, Kessel had a career-worst eight goals along with 44 assists. He’s a goal away from becoming the 13th American-born player to score 400 NHL goals.

Biden kicks off midterm rally in safely Democratic Maryland
By ZEKE MILLER
AP White House Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is aiming to turn months of legislative accomplishments into political energy. He is holding a kickoff rally Thursday evening to boost Democrats’ fortunes 75 days out from the midterm elections. The event is set for the safely Democratic Washington suburb of Rockville, Maryland. It’s meant to ease Biden into what White House aides say will be an aggressive season of championing his policy victories and aiding his party’s candidates. Democrats have seen their political hopes rebound in recent months amid a legacy-defining burst of action by Congress and the president. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/24/biden-kicks-off-midterm-rally-in-safely-democratic-maryland/ | 2022-08-25T04:47:36Z | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/24/biden-kicks-off-midterm-rally-in-safely-democratic-maryland/ | true |
ARIZONA, USA — The Arizona Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected challenges to two voter initiatives, one already certified for November's ballot and the another that appears likely to make it when a final signature verification is complete.
RELATED: Dark money, debt collection and election changes: Here's the status of 3 Arizona ballot measures
The Supreme Court said in unanimous opinions that they will not block a measure that will require greater transparency for political spending and another that will boost the amount of assets shielded from creditors.
A challenge to a third measure expanding voting access and rolling back restrictions enacted by the Republican-controlled Legislature is also before the Supreme Court and may not have enough qualifying signatures regardless of what the Supreme Court does.
Opponents, mainly business groups, argued that paid petition circulators for all three measures failed to comply with the law because they did not file affidavits certifying they met legal requirements each time they told the secretary of state they would gather needed signatures for a particular initiative.
Backers of the measures said they followed the rules set out by the secretary of state's office for registrations and that the secretary's online portal does not allow more than one affidavit to be filed.
Lower courts said only one affidavit was required. But Gov. Doug Ducey and the opponents of the measures disagreed and asked the Supreme Court to throw out any petitions gathered by people who collected signatures for more than one initiative but filed only one affidavit.
In brief orders rejecting the challenges, Chief Justice Robert Brutinel said the law does in fact require a new certification for each initiative. But the seven justices said that because the secretary of state's system did not allow it, they would not reject the petitions.
“The Court unanimously declines to find that the initiative committee ... or any individual circulator failed to comply with (the law) when the SOS has prevented such compliance,” Brutinel wrote. “A finding of non-compliance and disqualification of circulator signatures on this record and under these circumstances would “unreasonably hinder or restrict” the exercise of the initiative power under ... the Arizona Constitution.”
Former Attorney General Terry Goddard, who has worked for years to get the “Voters Right to Know” measure on the ballot, applauded the ruling.
“Justice prevailed. I'm delighted,” Goddard said. “And they did what we hoped they would do, which is to say the logic says that there should have been an affidavit each time, but you can't hold someone to a standard that it's impossible to comply with.”
The court also rejected a challenge to a lower court's ruling that said circulators that lived in multi-unit housing must list their unit number on their petitions and other forms.
The Voters Right to Know measure is the only one that still awaits certification of the qualifying signatures turned in by backers by county recorders and the secretary of state. But Goddard said that 13 of 15 counties have completed their reviews and about 80% of the signatures were deemed valid, a high margin that will easily get the initiative on the ballot if the final two counties come in anywhere near that rate.
The justices also rejected a challenge to the 100-word summary voters saw when they signed petitions to get the Predatory Debt Collection Protection Act on the ballot. Opponents had argued the last sentence that said it did not change laws related to secured debt was misleading.
“The summary, when read as a whole, is not objectively false or misleading,” Brutinel wrote.
The initiative would raise the amount of a home’s value shielded from creditors under the “homestead exemption” from $150,000 to $400,000, and boosts the value of vehicles, cash and other possessions shielded from creditors. It also caps interest rates on medical debts and adds yearly inflation adjustments.
The Free and Fair Elections measure hangs by a shoestring, and its fate appears tied to how a final signature count is tallied after signatures gathered by circulators who made mistakes are tossed out and the secretary of state’s final review.
It is also in front of the Supreme Court and lower court judges are still wrestling with challenges to some of its qualifying signatures.
Attorney Jim Barton, who represents the committee backing the election measure, said it will take until Thursday to know the outcome, “but the Committee is hopeful that this means we stay on the ballot.”
Initiative signatures and documents are weighed by judges under a “strict compliance” legal standard the GOP-controlled Legislature and Ducey put in place in 2017. GOP lawmakers said it was needed because once an initiative is enacted it is nearly impossible for the Legislature to change it. The change made it easier to throw them out for relatively minor paperwork errors.

Another year, another virus, another chance for the White House to get it wrong.
This time around it’s monkeypox, first announced on these shores in a Massachusetts patient in May, with more than 14,100 infections reported across the country as of Monday,according to the CDC.
It has now been detected in all 50 states.
The good news this time around is that a vaccine already exists. The bad news: The Biden administration is fumbling the ball on distribution.
As Politico reported, last week the federal government slashed the number of vials states received in anticipation of each being able to vaccinate up to five people per vial instead of one. We have the vaccine, just not enough of it.
Officials previously said the country had enough vaccines in the Strategic National Stockpile. But many of those are an older vaccine, according to Time, which is approved for use against smallpox and can also be used for monkeypox. The better choice is Jynneos, approved for use against monkeypox and smallpox. The U.S. had only about 2,000 doses of Jynneos in the SNS when the outbreak began — and authorities are scrambling.
Operation Warp Speed this is not.
The FDA recently gave the high sign to Bavarian Nordic, a vaccine manufacturer in Denmark, and the supply is increasing. We should have nearly 7 million doses of monkeypox vaccine by the middle of 2023, according to officials.
That’s little comfort in the middle of 2022.
In the meantime, the Biden administration expects health officials around the country to stretch what they’ve got. It’s not going well.
Health officials in half a dozen states told Politico that they are routinely able to extract only three or four doses per vial, thus being able to vaccinate fewer people.
And, even though the federal government made more vaccines available for states to order on Monday, states warn that they still do not have enough doses to contain a rapidly spreading outbreak.
“The federal government has patted themselves on the back for how they’re accelerating the delivery of vaccines,” said Patrick Ashley, senior deputy director at Washington, D.C.’s Department of Health. “What they did is they moved numbers around.”
The losers, of course, are Americans who want to ward off another new virus.
According to the CDC, monkeypox can spread to anyone through close often skin-to-skin contact, such as direct contact with the monkeypox rash or body fluids from a person with monkeypox and touching objects, fabrics and surfaces that have been used by someone with monkeypox. It can also be passed through respiratory secretions.
The group with the highest risk of infection are men who have sex with men, according to the World Health Organization.
David C. Harvey, executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors, told CNN that the outbreak is “out of control.” He told The Associated Press that “Program after program talked about the fear and stigma that gay men are experiencing in relation to (monkeypox), the shortages of vaccine, the burned-out staff, the shortages of funding to cover what has been an unanticipated public health emergency,” said Harvey.
We’ve seen what happens when a virus digs in amid an inadequate vaccine rollout.
How the Biden administration could repeat these mistakes is baffling — and unacceptable.

Atoka Wampus Cats
Atoka Wampus Cats Preview
ATOKA, Okla. (KXII) - The Atoka Wampus Cats enter the new football season with nine starters returning for head coach Jacob Cupp, as they look to finally get past the first round of the playoffs which has been their Achilles heel in each of the last three seasons.
“Last year gave us a little momentum coming out, but we’re still trying to get where we need to go. We’ve gotten beat in the first round of the playoffs the last three years and that’s not what we’re about,” said Atoka head coach Jacob Cupp.
In order to make a deep playoff run this season, Atoka will look to call upon a deep senior class which brings a new level of veteran leadership.
Atoka center Gavin Collins said, “It’s nice honestly to have some starters come back. Being seniors we’re all going to be a little bit more serious and a little bit more mature. Being senior heavy I feel like we have a lot more leadership out on the field.”
Yet, with a large senior class this season, Atoka will look towards the next generation of athletes to carry the torch in the upcoming years. With the younger classes primed and ready for their moment.
“I think that a lot more freshman and sophomores are starting to see that they’re going to have to step up whenever we’re gone and they know that we have to keep the Atoka legacy running,” said Atoka wide receiver Jace Jackson.

NEW YORK — Peloton's high-end exercise bikes and other gear will now be able to be bought on Amazon in the U.S., a partnership aimed at boosting the fitness company's sales that have languished since the easing of pandemic lockdowns.
“We want to meet consumers where they are, and they are shopping on Amazon,” Kevin Cornils, Peloton's chief commercial officer, said in a statement Wednesday.
The collaboration is Peloton's first with another retailer. Before, its products were sold only through its website, physical showrooms and other channels.
And it comes after the company earlier this month said it was shedding jobs, shifting its delivery work to third-party vendors and significantly reducing the number of stores it has in North America.
The news of the Amazon deal sent shares of New York-based Peloton Interactive Inc. soaring 20% Wednesday. They are still down about 88% in the last 12 months.
Products available at the launch on Amazon will include Peloton’s original bike — listed at $1,445 — its strength-training “Guide” device, as well as its workout mat, dumbbells and glass water bottle.
The company best known for its interactive stationary bikes saw its sales boom during the pandemic, but it has struggled to maintain high demand as COVID-19 vaccines became more widely available and homebound consumers started to go back to the gym.
Amid those challenges, it sought to cut costs and reduce its operating footprint while ramping up prices on some of its popular products. Last month, it said it would outsource manufacturing for its stationary bikes and treadmills.
The company says bike delivery will be available to most of the U.S. As part of the partnership, customers can get an expert to assemble their bikes, the company said. | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/nation-world/peloton-on-amazon-in-bid-to-reverse-slump/507-03b0020b-036a-4843-acc1-106d10bde0be | 2022-08-25T05:06:44Z | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/nation-world/peloton-on-amazon-in-bid-to-reverse-slump/507-03b0020b-036a-4843-acc1-106d10bde0be | false |

Four houses in Steuben County were damaged by what appear to have been drive-by shootings early Tuesday.
The Indiana State Police is investigating one that happened in the north 1000 block of Steuben County Road 700 East. The Steuben County Sheriff’s Department is investigating one that happened about 2:30 a.m. in the East 1100 block of Steuben County Road 300 North, one that happened about 3:30 a.m. in the east 2400 block of Steuben County Road 100 North, and one that happened in the 5300 block of East Metz Road.
The sheriff’s investigators believe the Metz Road incident happened about 2 a.m., although the department was called to the scene about 12:30 p.m., Steuben County Sheriff Rodney Robinson said in a news release. All the shootings appear to be related, he added.
At the four shootings, a car with a loud exhaust system was heard about the same time as gunshots.
In the shooting being investigated by the Indiana State Police Fort Wayne post, in the early morning “neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots and a ‘loud’ vehicle speeding off down the road,” according to Public Information Officer Sgt. Brian Walker. “Investigators recovered shell casings in the roadway out in front of the residence.”
Investigators also found damage to the home from what appear to be bullet holes.
“Nobody was home at the time of the incident, and therefore nobody was injured,” Walker stated.
Robinson said Steuben County deputies found evidence at the scenes of the three sheriff department’s cases. That evidence supported the theory that shots were fired from a vehicle driving by. There’s no evidence that anyone was specifically targeted, Robinson said.
Both agencies are asking for the public’s help in solving the crimes.
People with information can call the state police Fort Wayne post at 260-432-8661 and ask to speak with a detective. Callers can remain anonymous. They can also call the Steuben County Sheriff’s Detective Bureau at 260-668-1000, ext. 5000, or Steuben County Crime Stoppers at 260-668-7867. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/police-fire/law-enforcement-investigating-four-steuben-county-drive-by-shootings/article_db18aa00-240d-11ed-8470-9b2522cb1ea4.html | 2022-08-25T05:16:17Z | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/police-fire/law-enforcement-investigating-four-steuben-county-drive-by-shootings/article_db18aa00-240d-11ed-8470-9b2522cb1ea4.html | true |

Today in History
Today is Thursday, Aug. 25, the 237th day of 2022. There are 128 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Aug. 25, 2018, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who had spent years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam before a 35-year political career that took him to the Republican presidential nomination, died at the age of 81 after battling brain cancer for more than a year.
On this date:
In 1718, hundreds of French colonists arrived in Louisiana, with some settling in present-day New Orleans.
In 1875, Capt. Matthew Webb became the first person to swim across the English Channel, getting from Dover, England, to Calais (ka-LAY’), France, in 22 hours.
In 1928, an expedition led by Richard E. Byrd set sail from Hoboken, N.J., on its journey to Antarctica.
In 1944, during World War II, Paris was liberated by Allied forces after four years of Nazi occupation.
In 1958, the game show “Concentration” premiered on NBC-TV.
In 1980, the Broadway musical “42nd Street” opened. (Producer David Merrick stunned the cast and audience during the curtain call by announcing that the show’s director, Gower Champion, had died earlier that day.)
In 1981, the U.S. spacecraft Voyager 2 came within 63,000 miles of Saturn’s cloud cover, sending back pictures of and data about the ringed planet.
In 1985, Samantha Smith, 13, the schoolgirl whose letter to Yuri V. Andropov resulted in her famous peace tour of the Soviet Union, died with her father in an airliner crash in Auburn, Maine, that also killed four other passengers and two crew members.
In 2001, R&B singer Aaliyah (ah-LEE’-yah) was killed with eight others in a plane crash in the Bahamas; she was 22.
In 2009, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the liberal lion of the U.S. Senate, died at age 77 in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, after a battle with a brain tumor.
In 2014, a funeral was held in St. Louis for Michael Brown, the Black 18-year-old who was shot to death by a police officer in suburban Ferguson.
In 2020, two people were shot to death and a third was wounded as 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse opened fire with an AR-15-style rifle during a third night of protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, over the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake. (Rittenhouse, who was taken into custody in Illinois the next day, said he was defending himself after the three men attacked him as he tried to protect businesses from protesters; he was acquitted on all charges, including homicide.)
Ten years ago: Neil Armstrong, 82, who commanded the historic Apollo 11 lunar landing and was the first man to set foot on the moon in July 1969, died in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Five years ago: Hurricane Harvey, the fiercest hurricane to hit the U.S. in more than a decade, made landfall near Corpus Christi, Texas, with 130 mph sustained winds; the storm would deliver five days of rain totaling close to 52 inches, the heaviest tropical downpour that had ever been recorded in the continental U.S. The hurricane left at least 68 people dead and caused an estimated $125 billion in damage in Texas. President Donald Trump pardoned former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, who had been convicted of a misdemeanor contempt-of-court charge for defying a judge’s orders that he stop conducting immigration patrols; the 85-year-old retired lawman had faced the prospect of jail time at his sentencing in October.
One year ago: Secretary of State Antony Blinken said about 4,500 Americans had been evacuated so far from Afghanistan; officials believed there were about 6,000 Americans wanting to leave when the U.S. airlift began in mid-August. The U.S. Embassy in Kabul issued a security alert warning American citizens to stay away from three specific gates at the airport in Kabul. (There would be a deadly suicide bomb attack at the airport the following day.) Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order banning any state or local mandates requiring people to be vaccinated against COVID-19; the move came as Texas reported the most COVID-19 patients in its hospitals since the pandemic began. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a memo that military troops must immediately start getting the COVID-19 vaccine. A man who was angered by state-ordered coronavirus restrictions was sentenced to just over six years in prison for planning to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; Ty Garbin was among six men charged in federal court, but was the first to plead guilty.

- BCG Estimates That Quantum Computing Could Create From $450 to $850 Billion of Value in Next 15 to 30 Years
- Europe Is Currently Among Leaders Globally in Terms of Public Support and Fundamental Research, but Lacks Member State Coordination, Sufficient Private Capital, and a Talent Pipeline to Capitalize On
- Lessons From the Semiconductor Industry Need to Be Learned to Scale Capability and Protect European Quantum Sovereignty
PARIS, Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Investments in quantum reached all-time record highs in 2021 and are predicted to continue rising significantly, with multiple existing industries set to benefit and new industries likely to be created. Boston Consulting Group (BCG), one of the world's leading management consulting firms, today published new research highlighting the scale and pace of global quantum computing, titled, Can Europe Catch Up With the US (and China) in Quantum Computing?
While the US is a clear frontrunner on quantum computing patents, venture capital, and volume of talent, the BCG report finds that the EU currently leads the way in terms of public investment. However, the EU lacks a coherent plan of action to coordinate individual Member State activities, has an underdeveloped private capital market prepared to invest in late-stage quantum businesses, and is not developing sufficient quantum computing talent to meet anticipated demand. BCG's report highlights that the US currently has between two and three times more quantum talent in the business world than does the EU.
Without urgent action, the report shows, the EU risks repeating mistakes made in the semiconductor industry. Europe, together with the UK and China, is currently well-positioned in a trio of pursuers that are chasing the US (see exhibit). The EU is among leaders in public action in quantum and has put in place plans such as the Quantum Flagship, coordinating research efforts across multiple industries, and running pilot educational projects to give a direction to the developing ecosystem.
So what does the EU need to do to avoid repeating the mistakes it made more than a decade ago in failing to scale a continental semiconductor industry?
"The EU has all the ingredients needed to succeed in the quantum race but needs to rapidly develop and deliver a comprehensive plan to turn potential into action," says François Candelon, a managing director and senior partner at BCG, and coauthor of the report. "Europe's history when dealing with tech revolutions has too often been characterized by early promise, failure to scale at critical moments, and then an expensive attempt to catch up. Policymakers need to learn those lessons fast. The good news is that the window is still open to create and execute a European strategy, building public and private capital powerhouses to invest in and scale European universities' ability to train the next generation of quantum experts."
BCG's report maps an action plan for Europe to maintain quantum sovereignty:
- First, create an integrated EU-wide action plan that aligns Member State programs and strategies.
- Second, close the European investment gap, particularly for late-stage funding, to allow European start-ups to scale quickly.
- Third, build an end-to-end talent pipeline from high school to post-graduate to create enough talent to meet surging business demand.
The COVID-19 crisis highlighted Europe's capability to design and manufacture at scale new vaccines that proved essential to controlling the impact of the pandemic on the continent. Conversely, the lack of in-house European manufacturing capabilities for advanced semiconductors showed its dependence on a global supply chain. According to BCG estimates, the chip crisis prevented the production of around 10 million vehicles, which was particularly impactful for Europe, home to major automobile manufacturers.
Quantum will impact multiple industries central to a country's competitiveness and sovereignty such as aerospace, defense, pharma, and chemicals. If Europe wants to maintain its global relevance as well as self-sufficiency in key economic areas, it must ensure access and master quantum capabilities in all stages of the supply chain, from R&D to manufacturing and end applications.

All the necessary arrangements have been made by the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) to conduct the demolition of Supertech's twin 40-storey towers in its Emerald project in Noida scheduled on August 28.
The demolition will take place at 2:30 pm on August 28.
"We are obeying all issued advisories. Primarily, we have (man & vehicle) to evacuate by 7 am on August 28; protocols made on behalf of RWA," said A Sachar, RWA Vice-President.
"Lights, elevators, and water supply to be shut down post-evacuation. All maintenance staff to be evacuated to a safe zone, along with residents in nearby societies. We are expecting a no man's land by 12 pm. Blast to be done at 2:30 pm, after which government agencies to conduct an inspection," the RWA VP added.
At least 3,700 kilograms of explosives have been installed to demolish Supertech's twin 40-storey towers in Uttar Pradesh's Noida on August 28.
Explosives, installed on all the floors, will be connected with wires that will be completed in the next two to three days. For the past several weeks, the work of installing explosives in the Twin Towers was going on.
Explosives have already been installed in Ceyane Tower and now the work of explosive installation in Apex has also been completed.
Supertech's illegal twin towers which are taller than Qutub Minar will become India's highest structures ever to be demolished in 9 seconds at 2.30 pm on August 28. Impact cushions have been designed to reduce vibration.
"It will take nine to 10 seconds for all the explosives to blast in a series making a loud noise," said Edifice Engineering partner Utkarsh Mehta.
Noida DCP Traffic Ganesh Shah on Monday visited Supertech Twin Towers.
"Traffic planning is in the final stages. A few days ago, the road in front of the twin towers was closed. All roads connected to it will be closed on the day of the demolition," he said.
The demolition of the Apex (32 storeys) and Ceyane (29 storeys) would leave behind approximately 35,000 cubic metres of debris that would take at least three months to be cleared.
The Supreme Court has given a go-ahead for demolishing the twin towers with explosives. The exercise was supposed to start on August 21 but the court accepted the Noida Authority's request and extended the date of the demolition to August 28.
The twin towers are set to be razed over grave violations of building norms. The Supreme Court had said that it was a result of "nefarious complicity" between the Noida Authority and Supertech and ordered that the company shall carry out the demolition at its own expense under the supervision of the Noida Authority and an expert body like the Central Building Research Institute.
The order had come on a batch of petitions filed by homebuyers for and against the April 11, 2014 verdict of the Allahabad High Court which had ordered razing of the two buildings within four months and the refund of money to apartment buyers.
The Supreme Court has said that the date of demolition may be confirmed as August 28, with a "bandwidth of seven days" between August 29 to September 4, to take into account any marginal delay on account of technical reasons or weather conditions.

ATLANTA (AP) — The judge presiding over a special grand jury that’s investigating possible illegal attempts to influence the 2020 election in Georgia is wading into a fight over whether Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has to testify before the panel.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who’s supervising the special grand jury, scheduled a hearing for Thursday morning after a dispute between lawyers for the governor and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ team of prosecutors escalated from tense emails to court filings in recent weeks.
The increasingly heated rhetoric is playing out as the Republican governor, who is seeking reelection in the fall, seeks to avoid speaking to a special grand jury looking into whether former President Donald Trump and his allies broke any laws as they tried to overturn Trump’s narrow election loss to Democrat Joe Biden. Kemp’s lawyers have accused Willis, a Democrat, of pursuing his testimony for “improper political purposes,” an allegation the district attorney strongly denies.
Willis’ investigation was prompted by a January 2021 phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger during which the then-president suggested the state’s top election official could “find” the votes needed to overturn his loss.
Raffensperger and some other state officials have already appeared before the special grand jury, but Kemp is one of a number of potential witnesses who are fighting orders to testify.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., whose telephone calls to Raffensperger and his staff in the weeks after the election are of interest to prosecutors, was supposed to testify earlier this week, but a federal appeals court put that on hold while he fights his subpoena.
A judge in Texas last week ordered Dallas-based lawyer and podcaster Jacki Pick to travel to Atlanta to testify, and her attempt to challenge that order was denied Tuesday by an appeals court. Pick, who’s also known as Jacki Deason, gave a presentation before a Georgia legislative committee in December 2020 in which she alleged fraud by election workers at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
Willis has said she’s considering summoning Trump himself to appear before the grand jury, a step that would surely set off a legal fight. The high-stakes investigation is one in a string of serious legal threats the former president is facing.
Willis told Kemp attorney Brian McEvoy in a June email that she and her team wanted to ask the governor, among other things, about the call between Trump and Raffensperger. Trump also called Kemp in December 2020 asking him to order a special legislative session to secure the state’s electoral votes for him.
After an agreement to have the governor sit for a recorded interview fell apart, the district attorney’s office got a subpoena to have the governor testify on Aug. 18, according to court filings. The day before he was to testify, Kemp’s lawyers filed a motion to quash that subpoena.
During Thursday’s hearing, McBurney will determine whether Kemp has to abide by the subpoena.
Kemp’s lawyers argue that he is protected from testifying about his official duties by “sovereign immunity,” a principle that says the state can’t be sued without its consent. They also cited executive privilege, saying any material related to the governor’s deliberative process and communications is protected. And they raised attorney-client privilege, saying the governor routinely sought advice from his office’s attorneys in relation to the 2020 election and shouldn’t have to testify about that.
Willis’ team has argued that sovereign immunity and executive privilege don’t apply in this case and that they would avoid any topic that may be subject to attorney-client privilege.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Olo Inc. (NYSE: OLO) resulting from allegations that Olo may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Olo securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8131 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On February 12, 2020, Olo issued a press release announcing "its partnership with Subway(R) restaurants to integrate digital orders directly into the restaurant's point of sale for the majority of the chain's locations." Olo also stated that "[t]he partnership allows Subway's network of more than 20,000 U.S. restaurants to more seamlessly handle digital orders from third-party marketplaces."
Then, on August 11, 2022, Olo issued a press release announcing its second quarter 2022 financial results. On a conference call with investors and analysts later that day to discuss those results, Olo disclosed a change in its relationship with Subway that occurred in the second quarter. Specifically, Olo's founder and Chief Executive Officer disclosed that the Company is in the process of losing its business from Subway, that it had lost about 2,500 Subway locations during the second quarter that began directly integrating with marketplaces, and that "[w]e expect Subway's direct marketplace integration to continue with the balance of their locations being removed from our total active location counts in the fourth quarter of this year, or the first quarter of 2023."
On this news, Olo's stock price fell $4.73 per share, or 36%, to close at $8.26 per share on August 12, 2022.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors.

Anthony Albanese responds to Greens' calls for a two-year nationwide rental freeze
The Prime Minister has offered his views on the Greens' push for a two-year nationwide rental freeze after being asked whether he supported the proposal "in principle".
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says it is not clear to him how the Greens' proposal for a two-year freeze on rents would work without nationalising property.
Mr Albanese was quizzed by reporters on Wednesday about whether he supported "in principle" the minor party's push for the freeze to allow wages to catch up with current rental hikes.
"What we do is support real action that has a real process to occur," the Prime Minister responded.
"It's not clear to me, short of nationalising property, how that could be achieved. And I haven't seen any proposal, nor have the Greens raised with the government that at all."
Treasurer Jim Chalmers earlier told RN Breakfast the rent freeze "is not something that we've been working on", before adding "but we do accept that a big part of the inflation problem in our economy is skyrocketing rents".
The Greens are proposing National Cabinet to co-ordinate the nationwide freeze "with each state and territory to implement it via their respective Rental Tenancy Acts".
The party's spokesperson on housing and homelessness, Max Chandler-Mather, on Wednesday said the two-year freeze - followed by caps on increases - was necessary as Australia was facing a rental affordability crisis.
"Over the last 12 months rents have increased seven times faster than wages in capital cities, forcing millions of Australians into severe rental stress, while some regional areas have seen rent increases at even higher rates," Mr Chandler-Mather said.
"By freezing rents for two years and capping rent increases after that, we can give wages and incomes a chance to catch up, and protect millions of households from potential eviction.
Massive announcement today from @MChandlerMather calling for an emergency rent freeze to combat skyrocketing rent costs and the growing housing unaffordability crisishttps://t.co/2XvRFlXBz6
— Jenny Leong MP æ¢ç妮 (@jennyleong) August 25, 2022
"Countries like Scotland and Canada have used rent freezes and controls to protect residents against massive rent increases, while even Victoria froze rents during the pandemic."
Rent across the nation is rapidly on the rise with the fastest rate in 14 years. It is up 9.1 per cent in capital cities and 10.8 per cent in regional areas compared to June 2021.
New research from Everybody's Home Group found a large increase in low-income households experiencing severe rental stress and spending more than 50 per cent of their income on somewhere to live.
"We've got families sleeping in their cars, workers unable to afford a home near where they work, people being evicted from their homes because they can’t afford 20% rent increases," Mr Chandler-Mather said.
"And the governments just sitting on their hands when they have the capacity to intervene and stop the worst of this crisis. We're in a cost of living and housing crisis and its time to act now."
Economist for the Grattan Institute Brendan Coates told the ABC the idea was not as simple as it seemed and would not necessarily fix the unaffordability crisis.
"Rent control has a seductive, intuitive appeal which is that if you basically cap rent increases, then you're going to protect renters that are struggling to pay higher rental costs," Mr Coates said.
"But it also potentially has some big costs in the long run, which is that if you do have rent control in place, then you're limiting the ability of the market to tell investors, developers, everyone else that we need more housing."
Mr Chalmers said the government was working to address issues around housing supply, which has been exacerbating problems in the rental market.
"There's a national housing shortage as well. That's why we've got a Housing Australia Future Fund, which is about building more affordable homes," he said.
"It's why I'm working with the superannuation industry and the states to see if we can build more stock because at the end of the day what we're seeing in the rental market, which is so difficult for people to deal with, is a reflection of an absence of rental stock.
"We need to start dealing with that, and we will." | https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/politics/anthony-albanese-responds-to-greens-calls-for-a-two-year-nationwide-rental-freeze/news-story/f85ba7c3ae501109e34dfe66a5d49be0 | 2022-08-25T05:46:21Z | https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/politics/anthony-albanese-responds-to-greens-calls-for-a-two-year-nationwide-rental-freeze/news-story/f85ba7c3ae501109e34dfe66a5d49be0 | false |
Rugby-Rennie calls up reinforcements for South Africa crunch match
By Ian Ransom
MELBOURNE, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Australia coach Dave Rennie has made six changes to his starting 15 for the Rugby Championship test against South Africa in Adelaide on Saturday as he welcomes back a slew of fit-again players.
Noah Lolesio will start at flyhalf in place of the dropped James O'Connor, while Reece Hodge has been promoted to starting fullback as Rennie looks to his prodigious boot to do damage against the world champions.
"With Hodgey at the back, it gives us a big kicking game which we think will be important," Rennie told reporters on Thursday.
"His ability to identify space and find grass with his big, booming boot is a big reason we picked him."
Hodge's promotion has shunted Tom Wright back to the wing after the ACT Brumbies speedster struggled with the high ball in the 48-17 hiding by Argentina in San Juan.
Andrew Kellaway was considered for a starting role in the back three after recovering from a hamstring injury, Rennie said, but will instead ease in off the bench.
Hooker Folau Fainga'a and inside centre Hunter Paisami will start after recovering from head-knocks, while prop Allan Alaalatoa is also back in the front row after missing San Juan for personal reasons.
Alaalatoa's recall put Taniela Tupou on the bench, and Rennie demanded more from the Queensland Reds tighthead after his subdued display in San Juan.
"He´s well aware of that. He´s pretty disappointed with his effort in the second test," said Rennie.
"We know he´s a very good scrummager but we expect him to dominate with and without the ball."
Matt Philip will start in the second row in place of the demoted Darcy Swain, while Dave Porecki is back from concussion to provide hooker cover on the bench.
Loosehead prop James Slipper will lead the side again as regular captain Michael Hooper remains unavailable for wellbeing reasons.
Like the hosts, South Africa will be eager to rebound at Adelaide Oval following their home defeat to the resurgent All Blacks at Ellis Park.
With flyhalf Quade Cooper steering the side, Australia beat the Springboks in back-to-back tests in last year's Rugby Championship.
Cooper is now sidelined with an Achilles injury, though, putting pressure on Lolesio in his first test since being dropped after struggling in the series-deciding defeat by England in Sydney.
"He wasn´t disastrous (against England) but he certainly wasn´t as good as he was in test one," said Rennie.
"He's trained well. Noah´s got an opportunity to try and cement that jersey," said Rennie.
Australia team:
15-Reece Hodge, 14-Tom Wright, 13-Len Ikitau, 12-Hunter Paisami, 11-Marika Koroibete, 10-Noah Lolesio, 9-Nic White, 8-Rob Valetini, 7-Fraser McReight, 6-Jed Holloway, 5-Matt Philip, 4-Rory Arnold, 3-Allan Alaalatoa, 2-Folau Fainga'a, 1-James Slipper (captain)
Replacements: 16-Dave Porecki, 17-Scott Sio, 18-Taniela Tupou, 19-Darcy Swain, 20-Rob Leota, 21-Pete Samu, 22-Tate McDermott, 23-Andrew McKellaway.

Ryan Passey: First knife bin installed in Stourbridge after family campaign
By Megan Jones
BBC WM
- Published
A weapon surrender bin has been installed in a West Midlands town where a man was fatally stabbed during a night out in 2017.
Ryan Passey, 25, died from a single stab wound to the heart at Chicago's in Stourbridge.
A metal knife bin has been put in Duke Street after support from Mr Passey's family, West Midlands Police said.
A 19-year-old man, who admitted stabbing him, was cleared of murder and manslaughter in 2018.
Kobe Murray told jurors at his trial he had "pushed out" during an altercation in defence and had not intended to use the knife.
In January, it was announced an independent review was to be conducted into the force's investigation into the stabbing, which the Justice for Ryan campaign described as a "big step forward".
The roll out of the bins is part of work by Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster, with knife crime more than doubling across the force area since 2012, West Midlands Police said.
Two other bins were also set up in Chelmsley Wood Shopping Centre and St Peters Church in Wolverhampton on Thursday, taking the total to 23 across Birmingham, the Black Country and Coventry.
Tom McNeil, West Midlands Assistant PCC, said: "These bins are just one measure we are taking to get knives off our streets.
"The bins are providing people with a legal and safe way to dispose of knives which they shouldn't be carrying.
"Every knife posted into a surrender bin is potentially a life saved."

Wiltshire Police joins research work to 'empower' rape victims
- Published
A police force has joined a national project to strengthen its approach to tackling serious sexual offences.
Wiltshire Police will take part in a Home Office-funded research programme with the help of leading academics.
It aims to create a working model for all England and Wales police forces.
Police and crime commissioner (PCC) Philip Wilkinson, said: "We want victims to feel more empowered and have more confidence that their interests will be protected."
The force will become one of 14 to join the project, called Operation Soteria Bluestone.
Its themes include suspect-focused investigations, identification of repeat and serial offenders, victim engagement and better use of data and digital forensics.
'New innovation'
"While many officers are doing their absolute best under difficult circumstances, the totality of the criminal justice system has, all too often, let victims down," added Mr Wilkinson, PCC for Wiltshire.
"I hope this new innovation will assist Wiltshire Police to improve the service that both they, my office and the criminal justice sector provide to victims, both locally and nationally."
The programme is led by the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC).
The expansion programme will build on learning identified by five initial forces that took part in a pilot of the project at the beginning of 2021.
Det Supt Sarah Robbins, of Wiltshire Police, said: "We are pleased to be contributing to developing a new national operating model for stronger and more efficient rape investigations."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Sephora Inc., one of the world’s largest cosmetics retailers, has settled a lawsuit claiming that the company sold customer information without proper notice in violation of the California’s landmark consumer privacy law, state Attorney General Rob Bonta said Wednesday.
Sephora failed to tell customers that it was selling their personal information, failed to allow customers to opt out of that sale, and didn’t fix the problem within 30 days as required by the law, even after it was notified of the violation, state officials said.
The company agreed to pay $1.2 million and immediately correct the problem under the settlement, the state’s first such enforcement action under the California Consumer Privacy Act, according to Bonta.
Sephora said it is already complying with the state law after cooperating with Bonta’s office.
“Data is power, and these days everyone wants it,” Bonta said.
“Some of the most intimate details about your life are being harvested,” he said. “The more data a company has on you, the more power they have over you, the more they can target you to buy their goods and services.”
But the state law gives consumers a way to block that collection and sale.
The act was passed by state lawmakers in 2018 and expanded by voters in 2020. It gives California, home to Silicon Valley, what is viewed as the strongest U.S. data privacy law, providing consumers with the right to know what information companies collect about them online, to get that data deleted and to opt out of the sale of their personal information.
Bonta’s office has warned more than 100 companies that they were out of compliance and sent more than a dozen new notices on Wednesday. The “vast majority” complied, he said, but not Sephora, which sells cosmetics, perfumes, beauty and skincare products in 2,700 stores in 35 countries.
“Their actions compared to others was egregious,” he said, saying the settlement should be a warning to other companies that don’t comply.
The company did not admit any liability or wrongdoing under terms of the settlement. The company was founded in France and has its U.S. headquarters in San Francisco.
In its settlement, Sephora agreed to clarify its website disclosures and privacy policy to tell customers it sells their data, and allow them to opt out of that sale —steps it said it has already taken. It will file reports with Bonta’s office on its sale of personal information and compliance with the law.
Sephora said in a statement that the company “respects consumers’ privacy and strives to be transparent about how their personal information is used to improve their Sephora experience.” It said it allowed customers to opt out of the sale of personal information starting in November 2021.
The company said its tracking allows it “to provide consumers with more relevant Sephora product recommendations, personalized shopping experiences and ads” but that customers can now “opt-out of this personalized shopping experience” easily.
Sephora allowed third-party companies to install tracking software that allowed them to build detailed consumer profiles that allowed them to better target customers, Bonta said. But on its website it promised “we do not sell personal information,” according to the lawsuit.
The 30-day grace period for companies violating the law will end next year, when companies will be required to be in compliance without warning.
Also next year, Bonta’s office will begin sharing enforcement responsibility with a new California Privacy Protection Agency. The agency is taking public comment this week on proposed privacy regulations under the 2020 expansion.
“Certainly there is overlap,” Bonta said, but “multiple watchdogs on the block standing up for consumers, standing up for their privacy, making sure that data decisions are in their hands and that their data isn’t being sold or misused against their wishes is a good thing and we’re excited about that.”
Bonta and other California officials also want to make sure the state’s strict law isn’t undermined as the federal government considers what are likely to be less stringent nationwide standards.
The executive director of the state’s new privacy agency sent a letter this month to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, both from California, warning that a version being considered in the House would replace California’s protections with weaker protections. Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state Assembly speaker are among others who have objected.
Bonta said California’s law wouldn’t be affected so long as Congress makes its standards “a floor, not a ceiling. That they do not preempt the incredible privacy protections, nation-leading privacy protections that we have here in California.”
The Federal Trade Commission said this month that it will also consider new rules. | https://www.koin.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-cosmetics-giant-sephora-settles-customer-data-privacy-suit/ | 2022-08-25T06:02:12Z | https://www.koin.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-cosmetics-giant-sephora-settles-customer-data-privacy-suit/ | false |
Evan McPherson of the Cincinnati Bengals has become the first kicker to appear on an NFLPA Top 50 Player Sales List as the former Fort Payne High School standout reached No. 36 on the chart for the March 1 through May 31 period.
The NFL Players Association released the quarterly report this week. The list reports sales of all officially licensed NFL player products during the three-month period. The NFLPA’s list is only verified ranking of all officially licensed NFL player products sold by more than 80 NFLPA licensees.
· FORMER ALABAMA PREP STANDOUT SIDELINED BY TITANS
· FORMER STILLMAN STANDOUT SUING NFL FOR $300 MILLION
· FORMER SPAIN PARK STAR ‘LEARNING AND ADAPTING AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE’
The NFLPA has been compiling its tally of the players responsible for moving the most merchandise with fans since 2014, and no kicker had ever appeared on the quarterly or annual lists before McPherson’s breakthrough.
On Sunday night, McPherson missed a 58-yard attempt in a preseason game against the New York Giants that ended a streak of 22 consecutive successful field-goal kicks.
The streak included 14 field goals in last season’s playoffs, which featured a 52-yarder on the final snap of a 19-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans, and a 31-yarder in a 27-24 overtime victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
McPherson started the preseason by connecting six straight times, including hitting from 58, 56 and 50 yards.
After joining the Bengals from Florida in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, McPherson made nine field goals of at least 50 yards, more in one regular season than any other kicker had made in his Cincinnati career. McPherson then kicked three more 50-yard field goals in the postseason. Cincinnati had one field goal of at least 50 yards in its playoff history before last year.
Other players from Alabama high schools and colleges on the latest quarterly sales list included New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (Alabama) at No. 11, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (West Alabama) at No. 14, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (Alabama) at No. 28, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (Alabama) at No. 29, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (Alabama) at No. 33, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (Alabama) at No. 35 and Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (Alabama) at No. 43.

Dom Gonnella Back Healthy for NDSU and Another Summer With Diamondbacks
Knee injury cut last season short after being named starting running back
FARGO, N.D — “It was rough especially because I was ready to have a big season.”
After leading the Bison in rushing his freshman year, Dom Gonnella was named the starting running back in year two after nine games, two touchdowns and 380 yards, a knee injury ended it all.
“I tried to battle through it at first. Trying to figure out what it was and what I need to do to get it treated then it was working everyday to get it strengthened up,” Gonnella said. “I recovered a lot faster than I was supposed to. I was happy about that because I got to be on the sideline for the championship so it was nice to be on the stage.”
Heading into the offseason healthy, it was time for Gonnella to head to Arizona for another summer fulfilling his role as an Arizona Diamondbacks draft pick. He spent seven weeks with the team, playing four weeks of games.
“The first week and half, it’s just straight practice. Getting ready,” Gonnella said. “Seeing where my skills are at after the long break then they just throw me right into games. I started out in extended spring training first. Those are more like scrimmage games and then the rest of the season happens.”
Gonnella said he was a lot more comfortable and learned more about his body and how it responds to different motions.
“Just learning my body and how it moves,” Gonnella said. “How I can make adjustments by just being connected mind and body when I just want to hit a baseball.”
After a successful summer, Gonnella is locked back in to football and ready to pick up where he left off pre-injury.
“This upcoming year is going to be a big year,” Gonnella said. “I’m bigger, stronger, faster even from the start of last season. Last year, I was sick and had bronchitis during the towson game. Little things like that, I’m just looking to avoid and stay healthy.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan's national police chief on Thursday said he will resign to take responsibility over the fatal shooting of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a campaign speech last month.
National Police Agency Chief Itaru Nakamura's announcement came as his agency released a report on how it failed to save Abe's life on July 8 when he was assassinated in Nara in western Japan.
The police report found holes in Abe's police protection that allowed the alleged attacker to shoot him from behind.
Nakamura did not say when his resignation would be official.
The alleged gunman, Tetsuya Yamagami, was arrested at the scene and is currently under mental evaluation until late November. Yamagami told police that he targeted Abe because of the former leader's link to the Unification Church, which he hated.
Abe's family paid tribute to him in a private ritual Buddhist ritual Thursday marking the 49th day of his assassination. | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Japan-police-chief-to-resign-over-Abe-shooting-17396866.php | 2022-08-25T06:12:35Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Japan-police-chief-to-resign-over-Abe-shooting-17396866.php | false |

Vadodara, August 25: In a desperate attempt to get a railway job, a candidate removed his thumb skin using a hot pan and pasted it on his friend's thumb with a hope that the latter will clear the biometric verification and appear for the recruitment exam in his place.
But, the thumb skin pasted on the proxy's hand fell off when the exam supervisor sprayed a sanitiser on it during the biometric verification before the railway recruitment test conducted in Gujarat's Vadodara city on August 22, an official said on Thursday. Uttar Pradesh: Two Held For Cheating With Hi-Tech Gadgets in Exam.
The Vadodara police on Wednesday arrested the candidate Manish Kumar and his proxy Rajyaguru Gupta, natives of Munger district in Bihar, for cheating and forgery, Additional Commissioner of Police S M Varotariya said.
Both are in their mid-20s and had cleared Class 12 exam in the past, he said. A private company, authorised by the Railways, had arranged a recruitment test for railway 'D' group vacancies at a building in Laxmipura area here on August 22 in which more than 600 candidates appeared, as per the FIR registered at Vadodara's Laxmipura police station.
"To prevent any sort of cheating, all the candidates were required to give their thumb impression, which was then matched with their Aadhaar data through a biometric device before the test. At that time, the device failed to register the thumb impression of a candidate named Manish Kumar despite repeated attempts," Varotariya said.
The exam supervisor grew suspicious as he observed the candidate was trying to hide something by putting his left hand inside the pocket of his pants.
"When the supervisor sprayed sanitiser on his left thumb, the skin pasted on it fell off," the official said.
After learning about the cheating, the agency called the police and lodged a complaint under Indian Penal Code Sections 465 (forgery), 419 (cheating by impersonation) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy), he said.
The person who was caught told the police that his real name was Rajyaguru Gupta and he came to appear for the exam posing as his friend Manish Kumar.
Since Gupta was good in studies, Kumar, who had applied for a railway job, came up with the idea of sending Gupta for the recruitment test using forged identity, the police official said.
"A day before the test, Kumar put his left thumb on a hot cooking pan which created a blister on it. Kumar removed the skin using a blade and pasted it on Gupta's left thumb, as he knew that biometric verification will be done at the exam centre to ascertain the real identity," he said. "We have arrested both Gupta and Kumar," the official said.

Princess Diana was planning move to US WITHOUT William and Harry weeks before her death and believed doing so would 'save' sons by taking press attention off them, bodyguard claims
- When Princess Diana was on vacation in St Tropez in July 1997, a former bodyguard claims, she was planning to move to the United States
- Diana was on vacation with her sons and boyfriend, Dodi Al-Fayed, on Mohammed Al-Fayed's luxury yacht as paparazzi swarmed the boat daily
- There, she reportedly confided to bodyguard Lee Sansum how she wanted to go to the US where she would be away from the press
- Sansum recounts asking the princess if she would take her boys with her, to which she explained she would not be allowed to
- Tragically, the plan never came to pass after Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris just one month later, in August 1997
Princess Diana was planning to move to the United States without her sons just weeks before she died, one of her former bodyguards claims.
In his memoir, Protecting Diana: A Bodyguard's Story, Lee Sansum recounts how the princess was about to tell the paparazzi of her plans to move to America in an effort to protect William and Harry from the press as they vacationed with her boyfriend, Dodi Al-Fayed, in St Tropez in July 1997.
The family was staying on businessman Mohammed Al-Fayed's luxury yacht as paparazzi swarmed the boat daily, according to Sansum, who looked over the royals during their trip.
'The press were the bane of her life everywhere, not just in St. Tropez,' Sansum writes. 'And she said to me, "There is nothing I can do in the UK. The papers there attack me no matter what I do."
'Then she told me: "I want to go to the US and live there so I can get away from it all. At least in America, they like me and will leave me alone."'
At that point, Sansum said he remembers asking Diana if her sons would be joining her, to which she explained she would never be allowed to take them from their royal duties.
If she moved, Diana reportedly said, 'I will probably only be able to see them in the school holidays.'
As Sansum writes in his memoir: 'You could tell Diana was a wonderful mother, so loving and attentive to her two boys, but it looked as if she might have to leave them both behind in the UK to escape from the press, who hounded her relentlessly every single day of her life.
'It was also to free them from all the attention they got when she was with them.'
Finally, after a few days into the vacation, Sansum writes, Diana announced she was off to tell the press she was leaving the UK for good.
'I was alarmed because if we thought the press pack outside was huge now, just for her holiday, it would probably go up ten-fold if she gave them a story as big as this one,' Sansum recounts.
'The place would be swarming with paps, desperate to get pictures of the princess who was about to leave it all behind to run off to America.'
Sansum said the princess did, indeed, go talk to the press that day — but did not wind up saying anything about a potential move to the US.
Despite her complaints about the press, Diana was known for collaborating with preferred reporters and photographers, and would often tip them off as to her whereabouts if she wanted to be photographed.
In Sansum's book, the former military contractor fights back against claims that Diana was mentally unstable in the weeks leading up to her August 1997 death in a Paris car crash which also killed Dodi.
'I can tell you that I spent 10 days close to her, and she was one of the most balanced people I have ever met,' Sansum writes, adding: 'I ought to know. I am trained to spot if someone is unbalanced, it's part of my job.
'You look for signs that people give when they are under stress because it means they might be about to do something,' he explained, but noted: 'Diana wasn't excessively angry or out of control. She was normal and very deliberate.'
Sansum also dismisses claims that her relationship with Dodi Al-Fayed was just a summer fling to make her ex-boyfriend, Dr Hasnat Khan, jealous.
'They were really friendly and affectionate towards one another,' Sansum said of the princess's relationship with the film producer. 'The guys on the security team all thought it was game on and would develop into a serious relationship.
'You wouldn't see the kissing in public, so some people misread that as if it wasn't a romantic relationship,' he notes, 'but her boys were often around and the paparazzi were always there too, so that naturally made them more cautious and less demonstrative to one another.
Sansum went on to write that it was just by chance he was not assigned to look after Diana and Dodi as they spent time in Paris at the end of August 1997.
Instead, he writes, his good friend Trevor Rees-Jones was tasked with the job and was badly injured in the car accident that killed driver Henri Paul, Dodi and Diana.
Paul had been speeding as he drove under the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in an effort to outrun photographers who had been following their vehicle.
Sansum described the princess in his book as 'one of the nicest people you could meet.
'She was lovely, in fact, just a normal person who clearly loved her boys,' he wrote. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11143595/Princess-Diana-planning-WITHOUT-William-Harry-weeks-death.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-25T06:33:43Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11143595/Princess-Diana-planning-WITHOUT-William-Harry-weeks-death.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
