EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — A former South Texas mayor was acquitted Thursday of organized election fraud and illegal voting after an eight-day trial.
A Hidalgo County jury deliberated for about six hours Thursday before finding former Edinburg Mayor Richard Molina not guilty of the organized fraud count and 11 counts of illegal voting. Molina sobbed in his attorney’s arms after hearing the verdict.
Edinburg is a city of about 90,000 people and is the headquarters for U.S. Customs and Border Protection operations in the Rio Grande Valley.
The charges against Molina mark a high-profile arrest for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican who has made prosecuting illegal voting cases a priority and has touted tough prison sentences handed down in election fraud cases. In February 2019, however, a federal judge said there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Texas after the state wrongly questioned the U.S. citizenship of thousands of voters.
A message to Paxton's office seeking comment was not returned.
Molina unseated the city’s longtime mayor by about 1,200 votes in 2017. Prosecutors alleged Molina, who was arrested and charged in April 2019, tried to tip the scales by having voters change their addresses to places they didn’t live, including an apartment complex he owned.
Molina testified in his own defense that he believed his actions were legal under the attorney general's opinions that were in effect.
Molina’s wife, Dalia Molina, and ex-business partner, Julio Carranza, still await trial on similar charges. Both have pleaded not guilty, but Carranza testified for the protection in his former partner's trial. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Ex-South-Texas-mayor-acquitted-of-election-fraud-17398900.php | 2022-08-26T00:45:48Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Ex-South-Texas-mayor-acquitted-of-election-fraud-17398900.php | true |
"Texas bans local, state government entities from doing business with firms that “boycott” fossil fuels" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.

Texas banned 10 financial firms from doing business with the state after Comptroller Glenn Hegar said Wednesday that they did not support the oil and gas industry.
Hegar, a Republican running for reelection in November, banned BlackRock Inc., and other banks and investment firms — as well as some investment funds within large banks such as Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan — from entering into most contracts with state and local entities after Hegar’s office said the firms “boycott” the fossil fuel sector.
Hegar sent inquiries to hundreds of financial companies earlier this year requesting information about whether they were avoiding investments in the oil and gas industry in favor of renewable energy companies. The survey was a result of a new Texas law that went into effect in September and prohibits most state agencies, as well as local governments, from contracting with firms that have cut ties with carbon-emitting energy companies.
State pension funds and local governments issuing municipal bonds will have to divest from the companies on the list, though there are some exemptions, Hegar said.
“The environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) movement has produced an opaque and perverse system in which some financial companies no longer make decisions in the best interest of their shareholders or their clients, but instead use their financial clout to push a social and political agenda shrouded in secrecy,” Hegar said in a written statement on Wednesday.
New York-based BlackRock, which has publicly embraced investing more in renewable energy, criticized Hegar’s decision.
“This is not a fact-based judgment,” a spokesperson for the company said in a written statement. “BlackRock does not boycott fossil fuels — investing over $100 billion in Texas energy companies on behalf of our clients proves that.
“Elected and appointed public officials have a duty to act in the best interests of the people they serve,” the spokesperson added. “Politicizing state pension funds, restricting access to investments, and impacting the financial returns of retirees, is not consistent with that duty.”
The other nine companies banned completely are: BNP Paribas SA, a French international banking group; Swiss-based Credit Suisse Group AG and UBS Group AG; Danske Bank A/S, a Danish multinational banking and financial services corporation; London-based Jupiter Fund Management PLC, a fund management group; Nordea Bank ABP, a European financial services group based in Finland; Schroders PLC, a British multinational asset management company; and Swedish banks Svenska Handelsbanken AB and Swedbank AB.
The funds within larger companies are aimed at sustainable investing, such as Goldman Sachs’ “Paris-aligned Climate US Large Cap Equity ETF” and JP Morgan’s “U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund.”
Texas energy experts said the intent of the law, and Wednesday's announcement, was to punish financial firms that don’t want to invest in the backbone of Texas’ economy — oil and gas.
“But at the end of the day, it’s all about a rate of return,” said Ed Hirs, an energy economist at the University of Houston. “Quite honestly, fossil fuel companies, in particular oil and gas companies, have not been great performers in the (stock market) prior to this year.”
The Lone Star Chapter of the environmental group Sierra Club said Hegar’s “climate-denying publicity stunt will be costly for taxpayers.”
“Major financial institutions like the ones on this list are beginning to recognize that investments in fossil fuels bring significant risk in the face of an inevitable clean energy transition, and that addressing the financial risks of the climate crisis is essential to good business,” said Sierra Club Fossil-Free Finance Campaign Manager Ben Cushing. “The fact that the Texas Comptroller has arbitrarily picked a handful of companies that, despite their climate commitments, continue to have massive fossil fuel investments, shows that this is nothing more than a political stunt at Texas taxpayers’ expense.”
James Coleman, an energy law professor at Southern Methodist University, said there is political pressure driving both sides of this debate.
“Not just from those hoping to reign in fossil fuels, but also from those worried that moving away from fossil fuels is an economic harm,” Coleman said.
But Coleman said that “whenever the state limits the potential world that it can do business with, that potentially leaves some returns on the table.”
The actual impact on Texas taxpayers is hard to predict, said Felix Mormann, a Texas A&M University School of Law professor who studies energy and climate change. He called Wednesday’s move “a symbolic act by the Comptroller to protest the rise of ESG investing.”
“Will this announcement give a boost to Texas oil and gas companies? Morally, perhaps,” Mormann wrote in an email to The Texas Tribune. “But, financially, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and other Texas oil-and-gas majors play in the global league... In other words, I strongly doubt that the Comptroller is setting off the next oil-and-gas boom in Texas.”
As political campaigning heats up ahead of the November elections, Hegar this week also accused Harris County of slashing its spending on its constables’ offices, even though those offices would get big boosts to their budgets under a proposed budget. Republicans used Hegar’s accusation as an opportunity to criticize County Judge Lina Hidalgo, the county’s Democratic chief executive who is seen as a rising star in the party, as she faces a reelection battle in November.
Last week, Hegar announced he supports Texas repealing state taxes on menstrual products such as tampons and sanitary pads, a position echoed by Gov. Greg Abbott.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — More than a year after the Taliban takeover that saw thousands of Afghans rushing to Kabul’s international airport amid the chaotic U.S. withdrawal, Afghans at risk who failed to get on evacuation flights say they are still struggling to find safe and legal ways out of the country.
Among those left behind is a 49-year-old interpreter who worked for a NATO contractor in 2010 accompanying convoys in Kandahar. Only six days after the Taliban reached the capital last August, they came looking for him.
“They come to my house and they threatened my son and my wife (when) I was not at home. They (then) destroy my office,” he told AP via WhatsApp referring to the place where he taught English. He asked that his name not be revealed for security reasons.
This month, he was interrogated by the Taliban again for more than two hours.
During the chaotic days of the U.S. pullout, he had tried several times to reach Kabul Airport but, like many, failed to get through massive crowds made even more dangerous by attacks around the airport that killed dozens. He then tried to leave Afghanistan by crossing the land border with Pakistan but was stopped by the Taliban who demanded $700 per person to cross — money he did not have. To make matters worse, his passport is no longer valid.
Like millions of Afghans, he’s also been impacted by the country’s economic freefall, caused in part by international sanctions and vanishing foreign aid.
“We eat once a day,” the interpreter said. Still, he continues hoping he and his family will leave Afghanistan at some point.
“I never give up because of my future and my children future,” he said.
Since their return to rule, the Taliban have been trying to transition from insurgency and war to governing, with the hard-liners increasingly at odds with the pragmatists on how to run a country in the midst of a humanitarian and economic crisis. But a year on they have so far failed to gain international recognition. Initial promises to allow girls to return to school and women to continue working have been broken.
Those who have failed to evacuate include interpreters and drivers but also women journalists, activists and athletes who say they cannot live freely under a Taliban-led government.
The U.S., together with other Western nations, hastily evacuated more than 120,000 people, both foreign nationals and Afghan citizens, in August last year.
Some 46,000 Afghans who remained in the country after Aug. 31 have since applied for U.S. humanitarian parole, according to the Migration Policy Institute. But only 297 have been approved so far.
Because there is no longer a U.S. consulate in Afghanistan, asylum-seekers must make their way to other countries with consular services for in-person interviews.
The list of obstacles to getting out of Afghanistan is extensive, starting with the difficulty in obtaining passports as offices repeatedly close due to technical problems.
“Today, the vast majority of Afghans don’t have access to legal identity, meaning if they need tomorrow to be able to get to safety legally, they can’t,” said Nassim Majidi, co-founder and executive director of Samuel Hall, an independent think tank that conducts research on migration and displacement. Majidi was speaking at a seminar organized by the Migration Policy Institute looking at the situation of Afghans in Afghanistan and abroad a year after the withdrawal.
Around 2,000 Afghans and their families who worked with NATO, its agencies, and member countries were among those evacuated from Kabul according to the military alliance. But the evacuations were organized by individual member countries. NATO, as an organization, had no repatriation plan.
Evacuations from third countries are still happening, although sporadically. Earlier this month a plane carrying nearly 300 Afghans who had collaborated with the Spanish government landed in Madrid. Germany and France also have continued to work on evacuation cases, Majidi said.
But thousands of Afghans are still living in limbo in third countries including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kosovo and Albania while they wait for their applications to be processed for resettlement to the United States and Canada.
Though life-saving for many, the evacuations also fractured families. Among them is that of an Afghan journalist who asked to remain anonymous, fearing for the safety of her relatives in Kabul.
“It was really difficult to leave everything behind in an hour,” she told the Associated Press in a phone interview from her new home in Nijmegen, in the Netherlands, which she moved into after months of living in a temporary refugee shelter.
The government of the Netherlands had called her on Aug. 26 offering a single spot on an evacuation flight. Her relatives told her she needed to save herself first if she wanted to help them.
A year later, three of her family members have recently managed to get evacuated to France, she said. But despite repeated family reunification requests to the Netherlands and other European countries, the majority of her siblings remain in Kabul, living across the street from a police station now in Taliban hands.
On June 17 one of her older brothers was allegedly beaten to death by Taliban forces on the street after he was found carrying a photo of Ahmad Shah Massoud, the leader of the Northern Alliance that fought the Taliban, she said.
Days later, she said, the men showed up at the family’s home and forced them to sign a death certificate that stated he had died of “natural causes.” The AP was unable to independently verify her claims.
With most of her family still in Afghanistan and many bureaucratic hurdles to face in the Netherlands, it has been difficult to start a new life, she said.
“Until now it is just darkness.”

AUSTIN – Steve Sarkisian won’t know whether he made the right call for at least a few more weeks. But so far, redshirt freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers – now officially QB1 – hasn’t caused Texas’ second-year coach to doubt the decision he arrived at last Friday.
“I think Quinn has had a good week,” Sarkisian said Thursday. “I’ve seen some plays where it’s like, OK, we’re starting to take another step with him. Some really big-time throws on third down. He made a nice play in 2-minute (drills) today using his legs to create an explosive play. We’re starting to make the strides that I was hopeful for.”
Texas’ quarterback contest didn’t drag on quite as long as it did last year, when Sarkisian named Hudson Card the starter a week before the 2021 season began. But Card, now a redshirt sophomore, pushed Ewers every step of the way, forcing Sarkisian to make yet another difficult call at quarterback.

In the end, after months of back and forth, Sarkisian deemed Ewers the best choice to start in Texas' season opener against Louisiana-Monroe. It will be the Ohio State transfer’s first career start and first since his junior season at Southlake Carroll.
“I think Quinn provides the ability to make all the throws in our system,” Sarkisian said Monday. “I think he's got playmaking ability. He's got natural passing ability. And I think naturally, you know, we're gonna have some growing pains. Not only are we relatively young at quarterback, we're a relatively young team. And so we've got to do a really good job as a staff of trying to put our players in position to learn from the tough situations, and we try to do that in practice.”
Sark welcomes a former adversary
Tarique Milton spent the past four seasons helping Iowa State foil Texas. The Cyclones went 3-1 against the Longhorns in his time there and will carry a three-game winning streak into this season’s Oct. 15 meeting at Royal-Memorial Stadium.
But this time around, Milton won’t be sporting an ISU uniform.

Milton now a graduate transfer receiver for Texas. And he’s grown even more valuable in the wake of starting receiver Isiaiah Neyor’s season-ending injury.
“Tarique has been a great addition,” Sarkisian said. “Anytime you get a veteran player who’s competed at a high level in big games coming from a good program like Iowa State, (it’s) a great addition.”
In 44 games at ISU, Milton amassed 1,519 yards and seven touchdowns on 99 receptions. He ranked second on the team in receiving yards (722) and receptions (35) as a sophomore, a breakout that included a pair of 140-yard performances.
Injuries halted Milton’s upward trajectory over his final two seasons in Ames, but Sarkisian believes the 5-foot-10, 192- wideout can be a factor at Texas. And Milton, it seems, has enjoyed his time in Austin.
“One side of it for me is, when you talk to him I think he thought coming to Texas, it was going to be a lot of glitz and glamour,” Sarkisian said. “And he found out we’ve got a really good culture here. And I take that as a compliment coming from a guy whose program was kind of built on their culture. He’s integrated himself nicely into the team.”

Best TSA-approved accessories for quick traveling
Between turbulence, flight delays, limited leg room and overly-chatty seatmates, plenty of things can make flying a hassle. But having to wait at baggage claim when you arrive at your destination for your checked bags may be the worst. That’s why so many people prefer traveling with a carry-on bag rather than a large piece of luggage that must be checked. If you’re looking for a carry-on that can fit on most planes and satisfy the TSA folks, check out these fabulous carry-on suitcases and bags for your next flight.
What are the guidelines for carry-on luggage?
Carry-on bags aren’t just small rolling suitcases. You can bring a backpack, duffle bag, or any other bag as a carry-on. The size matters more than the shape or style. It’s crucial to understand the size guidelines for carry-on bags so you’re not stuck with a bag that’s too big to fit in the overhead bin.
Domestic
Domestic airlines all have their own rules regarding the size of carry-on bags and luggage, so it’s essential to consult the website of the airline you’re flying to determine the size restrictions for your flight. Generally, carry-on bags should be no larger than 22 inches by 14 inches by 9 inches, including the handle and wheels.
Carry-on bag size is restricted to ensure that the bags will safely fit in the overhead bin. Most airlines don’t have guidelines for the weight of carry-on bags, though, so as long as you can lift them into the overhead bin, you’re good to go.
Keep in mind that not every airline permits full-size carry-on bags, so verify you can bring your bag on board before you get to the airport.
International
As with domestic flights, international airlines each have their own size guidelines for carry-on bags. In most cases, they require the same measurements as domestic flights do (or similar.) However, some airlines require smaller bags, so always double-check before you pack.
TSA carry-on bag restrictions
The Transportation Safety Authority doesn’t have guidelines regarding carry-on bag size. However, the TSA has specific rules about what you can and can’t bring in your carry-on.
TSA limits the amount of liquid you can pack in a carry-on bag. Each passenger is allowed to bring a quart-sized plastic bag with travel containers that each hold up to 3.4 ounces.
You can also declare larger amounts of liquid, gel or aerosol medications at a TSA checkpoint. Baby food and formula fall into this medically necessary category, so you can pack these items in your carry-on bag outside the plastic bag.
TSA doesn’t allow knives, box cutters, guns, flammable items, dry batteries or other banned items found on the TSA website in any carry-on bags.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Patrick Beverley is returning to Los Angeles, this time joining LeBron James and the Lakers.
A fan favorite when he played for the Clippers, Beverley was acquired from the Utah Jazz on Thursday in exchange for guard Talen Horton-Tucker and forward Stanley Johnson.
“Woke up a Laker!!! Its On!!!” Beverley wrote in a Tweet that included purple and gold heart emojis.
He averaged 9.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists for Minnesota last season while starting 54 of 58 games and helping the Timberwolves make the playoffs. He ended up in Utah as part of a multi-player deal when the Jazz sent Rudy Gobert to Minnesota in early July.
“We are thrilled to add Patrick Beverley’s toughness and competitive spirit to our team,” general manager Rob Pelinka said. “We’re confident that Patrick’s ‘3-and-D’ style will fit in nicely with the other pieces of our roster and align perfectly with Coach (Darvin) Ham’s philosophy of hard work and smart play.”
The 34-year-old guard from Chicago is known for his ferocious defense that makes him popular with home crowds and a thorn to opposing players. The three-time NBA All-Defensive team member played for the Clippers from 2017-21 until he was traded to Memphis and then to the Wolves nine days later.
“I used to hate Patrick Beverley when he played against my Lakers lol but now I love him because he’s on our team and he’s going to help my Lakers get to the playoffs!” tweeted Lakers great Magic Johnson.
Beverley played for Houston from 2012-17.
Horton-Tucker played three seasons with the Lakers, averaging 9.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 131 games, mostly off the bench.
Johnson began last season with the South Bay Lakers of the NBA’s developmental league before signing three separate 10-day contracts with the big-league club. He was signed by the Lakers for the rest of the season in late January. In 48 games, he averaged 6.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists.

DESERT CENTER, Calif. (AP) — The main highway from Los Angeles to Phoenix was damaged by a flash flood that washed out part of the road through the Southern California desert in the latest bout of punishing monsoonal thunderstorms that have hit the region this summer.
The newest round of flooding started Wednesday evening, damaging a roadway that was part of a detour past a repair project along eastbound Interstate 10 near the small community of Desert Center, about 165 miles (265 km) east of Los Angeles.
Traffic in both directions was halted initially, but westbound lanes for motorists heading from Arizona to California reopened later.
All eastbound traffic was diverted until the California Department of Transportation managed to reopen one lane of the highway that was being repaired.
Officials recommended that people heading from Southern California use Interstates 8 or 40, which are major detours.
Photos posted by Caltrans showed water rushing through a deep gouge in the pavement of the highway. Flooding also affected other roads in the region, including State Routes 177, 78 and 62.
A flash flood in the same area in July 2015 washed out a bridge on the eastbound side of I-10 and eroded the ground under the westbound bridge.
The interstate was closed for nearly a week for repair of the westbound bridge, which then carried traffic on single lanes in each direction. The eastbound side did not reopen until September.
The National Weather Service said more flooding was possible through Thursday throughout a large swath of Southern California’s mountains and deserts.
Flash floods earlier this summer badly damaged roads in Death Valley National Park, the Mojave National Preserve and on the southern side of Joshua Tree National Park.
Officials called the Aug. 5 deluge in Death Valley historic. Hundreds of visitors were initially stranded by floodwaters and debris-covered roads. It took about two weeks for the park to reopen its most popular areas. | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-desert-flooding-damages-los-angeles-to-phoenix-highway/ | 2022-08-26T00:58:20Z | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-desert-flooding-damages-los-angeles-to-phoenix-highway/ | false |
LANCASTER, Ca. (AP) — Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott donated $44 million to the Oregon-based mentoring organization, Friends of the Children, which supports children at risk of entering the welfare system by pairing them with a longtime mentor.
The unrestricted gift, announced Thursday, provides $15 million to the organization’s national headquarters and splits $29 million in direct donations to 12 of the organization’s chapters from Tampa Bay to Detroit to Los Angeles.
Terri Sorensen, the CEO of Friends of the Children, said Scott sent word through intermediaries about why she’d chosen her organization.
“She said that they were doing this because they really hoped more people would find out about Friends of the Children,” said Sorensen, adding that she worked with The Bridgespan Group as part of the vetting process for several months before the amount was finalized.
That reflects what Scott has often said about her donations, writing in a 2020 Medium post that she and her team rigorously study organizations, in part, “to pave the way for unsolicited and unexpected gifts given with full trust and no strings attached.”
“Because our research is data-driven and rigorous,” Scott wrote, “our giving process can be human and soft.”
Sorensen recalled the “surreal” moment in June when she learned of Scott’s gift. She was visiting the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, where there was limited cell phone service, and had to drive around to get a signal to take the call.
“I was actually in a ditch when I got the word,” she said.
Scott’s donation nearly doubles the organization’s overall resources, since the national network’s budget for 2022 was $50 million. Founded in 1993, Friends of the Children pays a professional mentor to befriend and support children and their families for 12 years starting in kindergarten.
In 2020, the latest year federal figures are available more than 631,000 children passed through the foster care system. Often families who come in contact with the foster care system have encountered some kind of trauma and have, for whatever reason, not been able to get support at a less critical moment, Sandra Gasca-Gonzalez, a vice president at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, said.
The foundation previously supported Friends of the Children and Gasca-Gonzalez said she hopes one of the outcomes of philanthropic support is to produce evidence and research so that it can qualify for evidence-based government funding.
“The ones that wrap around the whole family are the ones that are really showing some promise,” she said.
In the past eight years, the network expanded from having five chapters to 26, with the help of a $4 million grant in 2016 from the Corporation for National and Community Service, a U.S. government agency. That grant was meant to help the organization expand its program and study the impact it had on children living in poverty.
The chapters plan to use Scott’s donation to pay higher wages to mentors, who they call “friends,” and expand to serve more children, Sorensen said, though she emphasized that each chapter is run independently.
The national headquarters will add staff to increase the administrative support like grant writing and accounting they provide to chapters and establish an impact fund for chapters seeking grants.
The gift is the latest from Scott to be made public and extends the pattern of her giving to other organizations that provide mentorship and support to children like Junior Achievement USA, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
Like nearly all of her more than $12 billion in giving since 2019, Scott’s donation to Friends of the Children was unrestricted and Sorensen said they intend to spend the funds within five years. Scott’s large gifts have challenged other wealthy donors and foundations to assess their own giving strategies.
Scott and her husband, Dan Jewett, donate in relative secrecy. Giving as individuals and not through a foundation means their donations are known only when the recipients disclose them or through her occasional blog posts. She’s written previously that she doesn’t respond to press inquiries in an effort not to overshadow the work of the organizations to which she donates.
Los Angeles, which has one of the highest number of children in foster care than anywhere in the country, is one of the chapters of Friends of the Children that will receive the gifted funds. The organization has two locations there, including one that opened in 2019 in Antelope Valley, located about an hour north of the city. That office won funding from the county mental health department to divert children at risk of being separated from their parents or guardians from entering foster care.
“We’re getting reports from there, the parents and their caregivers, that not only do they have hopes and dreams for their children, but they have their own hopes and dreams and don’t feel so alone by having a friend by their side,” Sorensen said, referring to the mentor assigned to the family.
Their chapters now partner with a range of local organizations to identify children most at risk of being involved in the welfare system and to match them with a long term mentor.
“Perhaps the parents experienced foster care, didn’t graduate from high school, have been incarcerated. Let’s get to those families before they enter the system and keep them out,” Sorensen said. “So that’s really where we like to be on the side of prevention.”

I know how hard it is for millions of you, but I will ensure support is on its way, writes Tory leadership hopeful LIZ TRUSS
We are facing extraordinarily difficult economic times. Growth is stagnant and taxes are at their highest in 70 years.
Prices are rising in the aftermath of Covid and the brutal war Russia continues to wage in Ukraine. Putin is using gas supply as a weapon against all those nations, including the United Kingdom, who have stood up to this appalling aggression.
The impact on our cost of living is clear at the supermarket checkout, at the petrol pump and on our latest energy bills.
I know how hard it is for millions of Britons, and how grave concerns are about the consequences of today’s decision by Ofgem on the next energy price cap. The rest of Europe is facing the same challenge, which will loom large as winter sets in.
If I am elected leader of the Conservative Party and prime minister, I will take decisive action on entering No 10 to provide immediate support, but will also tackle the root causes of these issues so we are never again in this difficult position.
To those of you feeling the squeeze, my message is clear: I will ensure support is on its way and we get through these tough times. My immediate priority will be to put more money back in people’s pockets by cutting taxes, such as reversing the rise in national insurance.
I would also suspend the green levy on energy bills, bringing down average energy bills by £153. This will build on the work already underway, such as the Energy Bills Support Scheme, which will see a £400 discount paid to consumers from October, and the £1,200 package of support for the most vulnerable.
But that is just the start. I have a bold plan to grow the economy, which is the best tonic to deal with the cost of living and make sure we are solving these issues at source, not just throwing taxpayers’ hard-earned money at problems as a quick fix rather than an enduring solution.
If I am elected leader of the Conservative Party and prime minister, I will take decisive action on entering No 10 to provide immediate support
My clear and consistently Conservative plan will deliver fundamental reforms to strengthen our energy security, get our economy onto a high-growth footing and stave off the threat of a recession.
We know a recession would take a terrible toll on our country, and some say it is inevitable. But indulging the voices of decline will benefit no one.
Instead, I am determined to chart a confident course through this economic storm. I am ready to take the necessary decisions when in office in light of all the facts.
It isn’t right to announce my chancellor’s plan in August, before I have even won the leadership contest or seen all the analysis being prepared in Whitehall. Under my leadership, we will work flat out to deliver energy affordability and security.
I will always be honest with the public about the time it will take to put things right. But my administration will, from day one, focus relentlessly on people’s priorities – the things they need and care about and which make a real difference to their lives.
In a world where authoritarian regimes are willing to weaponise energy, we cannot afford to be held hostage. We do not rely on Russian gas, unlike our European allies, but no country is safe from malign efforts to push up energy prices.
My clear and consistently Conservative plan will deliver fundamental reforms to strengthen our energy security, get our economy onto a high-growth footing and stave off the threat of a recession
Energy security starts at home, which is why we must radically boost domestic supplies. The government I lead will seek to unleash more energy by maximising our North Sea oil and gas production.
We will not be swayed by short-sighted calls to hit these firms with a windfall tax, as that risks deterring investors and slowing our pursuit of energy independence.
We will end the effective ban on extracting our huge reserves of shale gas by fracking but be led by science, setting out a plan to ensure communities benefit. Fracking will take place only in areas with a clear public consensus behind it.
When autocrats like Putin are ready to exploit the free world’s reliance on fossil fuels, we need to embrace diverse sources of energy
When autocrats like Putin are ready to exploit the free world’s reliance on fossil fuels, we need to embrace diverse sources of energy. I will champion the UK’s world-leading technologies like nuclear alongside renewables such as wind and tidal.
We have huge potential to harness, whether it is through the small modular reactors made by Rolls-Royce in Derby or our nation having the largest offshore wind capacity in Europe – thanks to firms like ScottishPower.
This is why I believe our great country can become over the next decade an energysecure dynamo, which could be powering Europe as a net energy secure exporter.
I know the coming months will be hard, which is why we will take decisive action to grow our economy, cut taxes and fix the problems at the heart of this energy crunch at their source. By holding our nerve, we will deliver for the British people and come through the economic storm together. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11147233/LIZ-TRUSS-know-hard-millions-ensure-support-way.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-26T01:02:38Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11147233/LIZ-TRUSS-know-hard-millions-ensure-support-way.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
Heartbroken mother opens up on how her son, 28, took his own life after Centrelink wrongly told him he owed $28,000 - and his harrowing call for help while being harassed by debt collectors
- Anthony Albanese has called a royal commission into robodebt scandal
- The scheme wrongfully billed 433,000 welfare recipients for massive debts
- Rhys Cauzzo, 28, took his own life after receiving two debt notices in mail
- His mother Jennifer Miller has spoken out about the day he took his own life
A mother whose son took his own life after he was wrongly billed $28,000 by Centrelink as part of the government's calamitous robodebt scheme has described the heart-breaking moment she found out he was dead.
Jennifer Miller lost her son Rhys Cauzzo, 28, a florist from Melbourne, on Australia Day in 2017.
Mr Cauzzo, who suffered from depression and anxiety, was wrongly billed for debts he did not owe by the federal government's automated service and was being hounded by debt collectors.
He was one of 2,030 Australians who died after receiving a debt notice under the controversial scheme.
The robodebts will now be investigated by a royal commission announced by Anthony Albanese on Thursday.
Rhys Cauzzo is pictured with his mother Jennifer Miller before his death on Australia Day 2017
Speaking to Sunrise on Friday morning, Ms Miller discussed the moment she was told about her son's death.
'The police came to our place on the Sunshine Coast early in the morning to tell us that he had passed,' she said.
'I arranged to fly down immediately and I found obvious signs of him being under the stress financially.
'There were pictures of him holding a gun to his head and dollar signs coming out of his brain.'
Mr Cauzzo (pictured) was one of 2,000 welfare recipients who took their own lives due to the robodebt scandal
Ms Miller said before her son took his own life he 'got virtually daily' letters and phone calls from debt collectors Dun & Bradstreet.
'He was harassed, he was not given the opportunity to speak to anyone at Centrelink,' she said.
'They just said ''no, you have to sort out.''
'It was the icing on the cake for him and he took his life on Australia Day, 2017.'
Ms Miller thanked Mr Albanese and Government Services Minister Bill Shorten for calling the $30million royal commission which will report back in April.
'Obviously, we are still hoping to get some accountability. I have been fighting this for nearly six years and it is time that there was some answers,' she said.
Ms Miller said she believes key figures in the former government including Scott Morrison are liable for her son's death.
Mr Cauzzo had received two separate debt notices as a result of the welfare agency's controversial automated collection scheme - one for $10,000 and another for $18,000.
Ms Miller and his girlfriend tried to help him answer the letters, make phone calls and visit a Centrelink office to resolve the issues.
Mr Cauzzo's older brother Josh said the government failed his sibling and called Centrelink's claim that he had been overpaid by $300 a week 'absurd'.
The 36-year-old mechanic, who lives in Sydney, said he didn't see much of his brother in the last year of his life because of his anxiety about travel.
He also said that his brother didn't open up too much about his problems.
'I don't think he wanted to fully tell me, he was embarrassed,' Josh said.
He added that the 'aggressive' debt collectors had given his brother just six days to pay the bill, threatened to garnish his wages and seize his assets - and 'pushed him over the edge.'
'My little brother didn't didn't set out to defraud the system, he needed welfare to survive,' he added.
Mr Albanese - who went to the election promising a royal commission - said the human cost of the scandal, including numerous claims of suicide, meant it had to be investigated further.
'We need to get to the heart of why this occurred. This is such a serious issue.
'This is a commitment that we have a mandate for and a commitment that we have a responsibility to fulfil.'

Chipotle workers at Lansing location vote to unionize
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. workers at a Lansing store voted to join the Teamsters union, the first in Michigan to do so and the latest in a series of landmark U.S. organizing victories.
The National Labor Relations Board counted the ballots Thursday evening. The vote was 11-to-3, with 2 other challenged ballots, according to the NLRB. Roughly 21 employees are in the new bargaining unit.
The location in Lansing was the first among the chain’s roughly 3,000 U.S. locations to hold such a vote. In July, Chipotle shut down a Maine site whose workers had petitioned a few weeks earlier for an election of their own. Employees there have filed a labor board complaint over the closure, alleging retaliation; the company has said the move was caused by staffing issues and was unrelated to labor organizing.
The vote follows a wave of labor victories at major retailers. Employees at a New York Amazon.com Inc. warehouse, a Maryland Apple Inc. store, a pair of Trader Joe’s markets in Massachusetts and Minnesota, and hundreds of Starbucks cafes across the country have voted in recent months to unionize for the first time. The NLRB announced Thursday that REI workers at a Berkeley, California site had voted to in favor of unionization at their sporting-goods store, after counterparts in Manhattan did the same in March.
In an emailed statement, Chipotle said it was “disappointed” that employees “chose to have a third party speak on their behalf” at the Lansing store. “Our employees are our greatest asset, and we are committed to listening to their needs and continuing to improve upon their workplace experience,” chief corporate affairs officer Laurie Schalow said.
Restaurant companies, including fast-food chains, have successfully resisted organizing for years. The Service Employees International Union’s “Fight For $15” campaign has tried unsuccessfully for a decade to secure national agreements with major chains that would make it easier for workers across the country to organize. SEIU organizers have been wary of petitioning for elections at individual stores, which carry the risk, even if a union prevails, that management would illegally stonewall contract talks or retaliate by shutting down sites.
Efforts to change working conditions through collective bargaining at a company such as McDonald’s Corp. would also be complicated by franchise structures, under which brands say they aren’t the legal employer of most workers in their systems. Chipotle owns and operates its own stores, removing that obstacle. | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/2022/08/25/chipotle-workers-michigan-location-vote-unionize/7898672001/ | 2022-08-26T01:19:46Z | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/2022/08/25/chipotle-workers-michigan-location-vote-unionize/7898672001/ | true |
LOS ANGELES — Joe E. Tata, the actor known as the Peach Pit diner owner Nat Bussichio on the 1990s teen drama “Beverly Hills, 90210” has died. He was 85.
His daughter, Kelly Katherine Tata, announced in a GoFundMe page posting on Thursday that her father died Wednesday night. She previously wrote that her father had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2018.
“My father and I are forever grateful for the love and support of family, friends and fans,” said Tata’s daughter, who also wrote that the remaining funds raised from the campaign will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association. She called her father was “honest, kind, and a truly incredible father.”
Tata appeared in television shows including “Lost in Space,” “The Rockford Files,” “Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.” and the original “Batman” series. But he was most popular for the role he played on “Beverly Hills, 90210” for all 10 seasons of the hit series.
Tata reprised the Nat Bussichio role in the spin-off series “90210,” which aired on the CW network from 2008 to 2013.
Ian Ziering, a “90210” star, wrote in a social media post that he admired Tata as “one of the happiest people I've ever worked with.”
He said Tata was “generous with his wisdom as he was with his kindness.” | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/nation-world/joe-e-tata-beverly-hills-90210-dies/507-9564b4ac-1c5c-446b-aa99-2bb0776d2d41 | 2022-08-26T01:26:36Z | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/nation-world/joe-e-tata-beverly-hills-90210-dies/507-9564b4ac-1c5c-446b-aa99-2bb0776d2d41 | false |

WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) — A lawyer for c onspiracy theorist Alex Jones invoked his right against self-incrimination Thursday during a civil court hearing in Connecticut over the possible improper disclosure of confidential medical records of relatives of some of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims.
New Haven-based attorney Norman Pattis refused to answer questions citing his Fifth Amendment rights during a hearing on whether he should be disciplined for giving the confidential records to unauthorized persons — other lawyers for Jones in Texas. He has denied any wrongdoing. A judge did not decide Thursday if any discipline is warranted.
The hearing was connected to a Connecticut lawsuit filed by Sandy Hook families against Jones for calling the 2012 shooting that killed 20 children and six educators in Newtown a hoax. State Judge Barabara Bellis in Waterbury found Jones liable for damages in November 2021 and a jury trial over how much he should pay is scheduled to begin next month.
Bellis, who oversaw Thursday’s hearing, said it was “unusual” for a lawyer to invoke the Fifth Amendment during a disciplinary hearing.
One of Jones’s Texas-based lawyers, Andino Reynal, also testified before Bellis on Thursday as he also faces possible discipline over the records disclosure. Reynal said he was surprised and embarrassed when he found out about the disclosure.
“It was the worst day of my legal career,” he said.
Reynal represented Jones during a trial in Austin, Texas — where Jones and his Infowars web show are based — in a similar lawsuit over his claims the school shooting was a hoax. That trial ended earlier this month when a jury awarded the parents of one of the children killed in the massacre nearly $50 million in damages. Reynal has said Jones will appeal the verdicts.
According to court documents and testimony, Pattis sent a large number of records from the Connecticut defamation case within the past month to a third lawyer for Jones who represented Jones’ companies in a bankruptcy case. That lawyer then sent the records to Reynal, who in turn gave the records to the attorney who represented the Sandy Hook parents in the Texas trial.
The documents were given to Pattis by lawyers representing Sandy Hook families in the Connecticut case as part of discovery. It has not been made clear what the documents included. But lawyers associated with the case have said there were some folders with titles suggesting they included confidential medical records of the Sandy Hook plaintiffs.
The records also apparently included texts from Jones’ cellphone. In a surprise move during the Texas trial, the Sandy Hook parents’ lawyer, Mark Bankston, revealed that Reynal had mistakenly sent him the records, including Jones’ texts. Reynal said Thursday that he didn’t look at the records before sending them to Bankston.
Bankston reportedly has sent Jones’ phone records to the U.S. House committee examining the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot that sought to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election. The panel’s chairman has accused Jones of helping to organize a rally near the Capitol that preceded the insurrection. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/alex-jones-lawyer-takes-the-fifth-during-sandy-hook-hearing/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2022-08-26T01:31:45Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/alex-jones-lawyer-takes-the-fifth-during-sandy-hook-hearing/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | false |

The panel’s chairman has accused Jones of helping to organize a rally near the Capitol that preceded the insurrection. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/alex-jones-lawyer-takes-the-fifth-during-sandy-hook-hearing/2022/08/25/abb37914-24d2-11ed-a72f-1e7149072fbc_story.html | 2022-08-26T01:33:01Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/alex-jones-lawyer-takes-the-fifth-during-sandy-hook-hearing/2022/08/25/abb37914-24d2-11ed-a72f-1e7149072fbc_story.html | false |
Marie Helen Baczynski, 77, formerly of Kingston, passed away Monday evening, Aug. 22, 2022, at home in Gleason, Tenn., with her daughter by her side following a courageous four year battle with cancer.
Born in Wilkes-Barre, Sept. 2, 1944, she was the daughter of the late Carl and Helen Compton. Marie was a 1962 graduate of Coughlin High School and was most recently employed at the Salvation Army as a truck dispatcher before retiring.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death in 2018 by Chester, her husband of 55 years; her beloved Chihuahua, Cocoa; and her granddog, Faith.
The family would like to thank AseraCare of McKenzie for their hospice services and Dr. Chura and Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia whose expertise gave her four more years to enjoy with her daughter.
During those last four years, she went on many adventures with her daughter. She got to visit the Grand Ole Opry, Graceland, visited wineries and went geocaching with her daughter all over creation, with varying levels of enthusiasm. She enjoyed watching the Phillies, Yankees and Eagles, even though they were not always as good as hoped.
Surviving is her daughter, Dr. Kathleen Baczynski, Gleason, Tenn.
The funeral will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday from E. Blake Collins Funeral Home, 159 George Ave., Wilkes-Barre. Services will be conducted by the Rev. Joseph A. Kearney. Entombment will be in the Mary Mother of God mausoleum at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Hanover Twp. Friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday and from 10 a.m. until the time of the service Monday. | https://www.citizensvoice.com/zz-dnp/marie-helen-baczynski/article_6df21cd3-fe6c-5cec-accf-1d94ead98f7a.html | 2022-08-26T01:37:19Z | https://www.citizensvoice.com/zz-dnp/marie-helen-baczynski/article_6df21cd3-fe6c-5cec-accf-1d94ead98f7a.html | true |
Former Lakeland mayor asks city for $800,000 to help small minority businesses
LAKELAND, Fla. - One of Lakeland's former mayors is asking the city for $800,000 to help small businesses owned by minorities and others.
Former Lakeland Mayor Gow Fields wants the Black Business Investment Corporation and Prospera USA, which targets Latins, to set up shop in Lakeland. The organizations have been operating across the state for decades, including in Tampa and St. Petersburg.
Both groups provide professional expertise, mentoring and guidance for free. They also make loans to start-ups that they might not have been able to get from a bank.
READ: New Lakeland Regional facility aimed at better serving behavioral health patients
"We have made loans for as little as $500 to a tradesman who needed the money to buy product to finish a job, and up to $150,000 for a chiropractor who was opening their business," James Randolph of the BBIC, told FOX 13.
Finding the money to help fund new projects is always a problem, though. Right now, the City of Lakeland is working on its budget priorities for the new fiscal year.
Current Mayor Bill Mutz said this is one of his.
"The question is, why haven’t we done this before?" said Lakeland Mayor Bill Mutz.
The issue will be brought up again before city council next month. | https://www.fox13news.com/news/former-lakeland-mayor-asks-city-for-800000-to-help-small-minority-businesses | 2022-08-26T01:38:03Z | https://www.fox13news.com/news/former-lakeland-mayor-asks-city-for-800000-to-help-small-minority-businesses | true |
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) – Bills rookie punter Matt Araiza was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed Thursday in California that accused Araiza and other San Diego State football players of raping a 17-year-old girl last October.
The lawsuit accuses Araiza, now 22, as well as teammates Zavier Leonard and Nowlin “Pa’a” Ewaliko, of committing what the plaintiff’s attorney described as gang rape in the early morning hours of Sunday, Oct. 17, 2021 after a Halloween party.
“We were recently made aware of a civil complaint involving Matt from October 2021,” the Bills said in a statement. “Due to the serious nature of the complaint, we conducted a thorough examination of this matter. As this is an ongoing civil case, we will have no other comment at this point.”
A lawyer for Araiza told the Los Angeles Times that his investigator spoke to witnesses from the party who contradicted allegations made against Araiza in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit states that the plaintiff believed Araiza handed her a drink during the party that “not only contained alcohol, but other intoxicating substances.” The lawsuit alleges Araiza took the girl into a bedroom where the other men were standing and threw her to the bed.
The plaintiff “went in and out of consciousness while she was being raped,” the lawsuit said, adding, “The men took turns having sex with her from behind while she lay face first on the mattress.”
The plaintiff also accused the players of filming the incident, which allegedly lasted an hour and a half. When the girl stumbled out of the room, she was bloody and crying, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit also alleges that Araiza spoke with the plaintiff on the phone next day while detectives from the San Diego Police Department’s Sex Crimes Unit listened to the call. The lawsuit claims Araiza confirmed having sex with the plaintiff, but later changed his tone and said he didn’t remember anything that happened that night.
The Bills drafted Araiza in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He appeared to win the punting job during training camp when the Bills released incumbent punter Matt Haack on Monday. Haack later signed with the Colts.
The Bills play their final preseason game Friday at Carolina. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/bills-punter-matt-araiza-named-in-san-diego-state-rape-lawsuit/ | 2022-08-26T01:42:20Z | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/bills-punter-matt-araiza-named-in-san-diego-state-rape-lawsuit/ | true |
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said Thursday that he plans to debate independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin as the two vie for the Utah seat in November’s general election.
“I’m glad that you finally committed to debate me, Mike. Utahns deserve a chance to hear from both of us. Our campaign met the deadline—the ball is in your court now,” McMullin wrote on Twitter, referring to a Monday deadline he said was set by the state’s Debate Commission.
Lee defeated his Republican challengers in the GOP primary for the seat earlier this year and has been leading McMullin in some polling, but the sitting senator and the independent challenger have yet to go head-to-head in debate.
As reported in local outlet KUTV, in the lead-up to the primary Lee attended a Utah GOP-sponsored debate but skipped one hosted by the non-partisan Utah Debate Commission, where an empty podium stood on the debate stage in his place.
“I look forward to debating Evan McMullin on the important issues facing our country. My team has been working with the Debate Commission to secure a date, and I can assure you we will come up with a time that works,” Lee wrote on Twitter Thursday when McMullin confronted him about the Debate Commission’s upcoming deadline.
Independent McMullin, who made a third-party bid for the presidency in 2016, was backed by Utah Democrats earlier this year in a rare move aimed at ousting the Republican incumbent.
Lee, endorsed by former President Trump, has held the Senate seat since 2011. The Hill has reached out to Lee’s campaign and the Utah Debate Commission for comment.
Lee is “slow-walking debate negotiations” in the face of “a neck-and-neck reelection challenge” from McMullin, a spokesperson for McMullin’s campaign told The Hill in a statement.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report last week changed its rating for the Utah Senate race from “Solid R” to “Likely R.” Sabato’s Crystal Ball, the election handicapper from the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, amended its “Safe Republican” rating to “Likely Republican” after the June primaries. | https://www.cbs42.com/hill-politics/mike-lee-agrees-to-senate-debate-against-evan-mcmullin/ | 2022-08-26T01:47:47Z | https://www.cbs42.com/hill-politics/mike-lee-agrees-to-senate-debate-against-evan-mcmullin/ | false |
CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — The former girlfriend of a detention deputy was arrested in connection to his murder on Wednesday night, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office said.
Law enforcement officers were called to a home in Pine Ridge around 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 19 in reference to a potential suicide.
First responders said they found 31-year-old Cory Schweitzer with an apparent gunshot wound and he was not breathing. Schweitzer was pronounced dead shortly after.
Detectives said they began investigating and found additional evidence making it clear that Schweitzer, an off-duty detention deputy with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, was murdered.
Investigators said that a warrant was secured for the arrest of 22-year-old Jacqueline Jasmin Johnson-Cabrera, who was a former girlfriend of Schweitzer.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Schweitzer’s family, along with Sheriff Woods and the men and women of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, who knew and worked alongside Cory,” said Sheriff Mike Prendergast. “Investigating homicide cases are difficult enough, let alone when the victim is a fellow law enforcement officer. This case presented many unique factors and, with the arrest of Johnson-Cabrera, I hope and pray the family and colleagues can now begin the healing process.”
Johnson-Cabrera was booked into the Citrus County Detention Facility on a pending second-degree murder charge.
She is being held on no bond. | https://www.wfla.com/news/local-news/citrus-county/ex-girlfriend-of-florida-detention-deputy-arrested-in-connection-to-his-murder/ | 2022-08-26T01:48:22Z | https://www.wfla.com/news/local-news/citrus-county/ex-girlfriend-of-florida-detention-deputy-arrested-in-connection-to-his-murder/ | true |
Austin woman flees crash scene, leaves 4-year-old child behind to crawl out of rolled vehicle
AUSTIN, Texas - A 35-year-old Austin woman is behind bars after she fled the scene of a collision, leaving her four-year-old son behind to crawl out of a rolled-over vehicle by himself.
Yolanda Olvera has been charged with Failure to Stop and Render Aid and is in the Travis County Jail.
According to the arrest affidavit, Austin police responded to a report of a vehicle rollover collision at the 3300 block of N IH35 northbound around 5:17 a.m. on August 22.
Witnesses were giving updates to officers while they were en route to the scene, adding that the female driver of the rolled vehicle fled the scene and left her child inside the car.
Officers arrived to the scene to find a vehicle fully turned over onto its roof. The driver's side tire was ripped off, and the windows were broken out, the affidavit states. Four witnesses told police they saw the suspected driver run away from the scene.
One witness said he observed the driver, a Hispanic female, crawl out of the driver's seat. She then took a car seat out of the back of the vehicle and attempted to take a child out from the backseat. She then fled the scene before getting the child out of the vehicle. The witness said the child had to crawl out of the car through broken glass and debris.
A witness held the child in his arms before police arrived.
Police could not locate the suspected driver at the scene. The child, referred in the arrest affidavit as L.A., told officers his mothers name was Yolanda and gave a description of her that matched those from witnesses. L.A. also told police his mother appeared to be "drunk." The turned over vehicle was also found to be registered under Yolanda's name.
L.A. was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries.
According to the affidavit, police received a missing child report five hours after the collision. It was from a woman claiming her grandson had been missing from 6-8 a.m. and that his mother was involved in a car crash. The woman was identified as L.A.'s grandmother.
Police detained Yolanda as she was leaving a hospital. The officers interviewed her, and she confirmed to them that she was driving from a friend's house who lived off of Oltorf Road around 5-6 a.m.
Yolando was subsequently arrested, and charged with a felony. She remains in the Travis County Jail. | https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/austin-crash-mother-child-crawl-police | 2022-08-26T01:50:55Z | https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/austin-crash-mother-child-crawl-police | true |

TUPELO – A position change is starting to take for Ella Grace Holloway.
The 6-foot-3 junior had 10 kills as Lewisburg rolled past Tupelo on Thursday, 3-0 (25-12, 25-14, 25-18).
Holloway played opposite side hitter in travel ball this year but has been moved to outside hitter for Lewisburg. She’s enjoying the move from the right side to the left side.
“I’m liking it so far. I like being able to get more swings,” Holloway said.
She got in plenty of swings against an undersized Tupelo squad, and so did her teammates. The Lady Patriots (7-9) recorded 37 total kills, with Lana Ferrell getting nine and Avery Thomas eight.
Tupelo (4-5) had just 14 kills.
“I thought we did a great job running our offense,” Lewisburg coach Amy Hendrichovsky said. “That’s something we focused on this week, so it was good to see it come out in the match.”
Lewisburg pulled away early in the first set, but Tupelo kept things tight in the second – for a while. The Lady Wave were up 9-8 before Lewisburg went on an 11-1 run.
In the third set, the Lady Patriots surged ahead 20-11, but Tupelo fought back within 23-18 before succumbing.
“I thought as the match went on, we definitely made some adjustments,” Tupelo coach Laurie Bishop said. “Our serve receive went away a little bit in that second set, and so while we were able to make some adjustments defensively and offensively a little bit, the serve receive kind of cost us.”
To Bishop’s point, Lewisburg had 10 aces, including four by Lilian Hodges. Lewisburg also had 21 assists from Claire Smith and 17 digs from libero Allie Kate Hall.
Lewisburg’s record is deceiving – it’s played a brutal schedule to this point. But the Lady Patriots have won three-straight games.
“It feels good, because haven’t won that many,” Holloway said. “To be able to win three nights in a row has been awesome.”

You have a doppelganger and probably share DNA with them, new study suggests
By Jen Christensen, CNN Photographs by François Brunelle
Sometimes when Charlie Chasen or Michael Malone would be out and about on their own in Atlanta, people would mistake one for the other.
The long-time friends who live in Atlanta are not related. Their ancestors don’t even come from the same part of the world. Malone’s family came from the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. Chasen’s family came from Scotland and Lithuania. They aren’t the result of some deep dark family secret, either. Yet they look strikingly similar. It’s not just their brown hair, beards and glasses. It’s also the structure of their nose, their cheekbones, and the shape of their lips.
“Michael and I go way back and it’s all been like a source of a lot of fun for us because over the years, we’ve been mistaken for each other all over the place all over Atlanta,” Chasen told CNN’s Don Lemon. “There’s been some really interesting situations that have come out just because people thought we were the other person.”
The two look so similar, even facial recognition software had a hard time telling them apart from identical twins. But now scientists think they can explain what it is that makes them look so similar — and could explain why each of us may have doppelgänger.
People who resemble each other, but are not directly related, still seem to have genetic similarities, according to a new study.
Among those who had these genetic similarities, many also had similar weights, similar lifestyle factors, and similar behavioral traits like smoking and education levels. That could mean that genetic variation is related to physical appearance and also, potentially may influence some habits and behavior.
Scientists have long wondered what it is that creates a person’s doppelgänger. Is it nature or nurture? A team of researchers in Spain tried to find out. Their results were published in the journal Cell Reports on Tuesday.
Dr. Manel Esteller, a researcher at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute in Barcelona, Spain, said that he worked on research involving twins in the past, but for this project, he was interested in people who look alike but have no actual family connection going back almost 100 years.
Art leads to science
So, he turned to art to answer a question about science. He and his co-authors recruited 32 people with look-alikes who were part of a photo project “I’m not a look-alike!,” done by a Canadian artist, François Brunelle.
The researchers asked the pairs to do a DNA test. The pairs filled out questionnaires about their lives. The scientists also put their images through three different facial recognition programs. Of the people they recruited, 16 pairs had similar scores to identical twins identified using the same software. The other 16 pairs may have looked the same to the human eye, but the algorithm didn’t think so in one of the facial recognition programs.
Researchers then took a closer look at participants’ DNA. The pairs the facial recognition software said were similar had many more genes in common than the other 16 pairs.
“We were able to see that these look alike humans, in fact, they are sharing several genetic variants. And these are very common among them,” Esteller said. “So they share these genetic variants that are related in a way that they have the shape of the nose, the eye, the mouth, the lips, and even the bone structure. And this was the main conclusion that genetics puts them together. “
These are similar codes, he said, but it is just by random chance.
“In the world right now, there are so many people that eventually the system is producing humans with similar DNA sequences,” Esteller said. This likely was always true, but now with the internet, it’s a lot easier to find them.
Other factors at play
When they looked closer at the pairs, they determined other factors were different, he said.
“There’s the reason they are not completely identical,” Esteller said.
When scientists looked closer at what they call the epigenomes of the doppelgängers that looked most alike, there were bigger differences. Epigenetics is the study of how the environment and behavior can cause changes in the way a person’s genes work. When the scientists looked at the microbiome of the pairs that looked most alike, those were different, too. The microbiome are the microorganisms — the viruses, bacteria, and fungi too small to see with the human eye — that live in the human body.
“These results not only provide insights about the genetics that determine our face but also might have implications for the establishment of other human anthropometric properties and even personality characteristics,” the study said.
The study does have limitations. The sample size was small, so it is difficult to say that these results would be true for a larger group of look-alikes. Although researchers believe that their findings would change in a larger group. The study also focused on pairs that were largely of European origin, so it is unclear if the results would be the same for people who come from other parts of the planet.
Dr. Karen Gripp a pediatrician and geneticist at Nemours Children’s Health whose research is referenced in this work, said the study is really interesting and validates a lot of the research that comes before it.
Real world application of the science
Gripp uses facial analysis software in her work with patients who might have genetic conditions to assess her patient’s facial features which might be suggestive of certain genetic conditions.
“It’s a little bit different from the study, but it really points in the same direction that changes in a person’s genetic material affect the facial structures, and that’s really the same underlying assumption that was used in this study as being indeed confirmed, in contrast to some other things like the microbiome did not seem to be as relevant,” Gripp said.
As far as the nature versus nurture question the study brings up, Gripp thinks that both are important.
“As a geneticist, I firmly believe in the nature and the genetic material being very important to almost everything, but that does not take away from saying nurture is just as important,” Gripp said. “For every person to be successful in the world there are so many contributing factors and the environment is so important that I don’t think it’s one or the other.”
A potential problem
The study she said also points out that there are still limits to the accuracy of facial recognition software. While several cities concerned about privacy issues and misidentification problems have enacted rules banning or restricting local police from using facial-recognition software, the federal government and some local law enforcement have been using it more frequently.
A 2021 federal investigation found that at least 16 federal agencies use it for digital access or cybersecurity, 6 use it to generate leads in criminal investigations, and 10 more said they planned to expand its use.
It’s also used more commonly at airports. Some companies use it to help make hiring decisions. Some landlords have installed it so tenants can enter buildings. Some schools use it to take attendance and to monitor movements in public spaces on college campuses.
“If you translate this study into the real world, that shows you a potential pitfall that digital facial analysis tools could misidentify somebody,” Gripp said.
While the technology has been improving, in past studies, the technology has already been shown to be far less accurate when identifying people of color, and several Black men, have been wrongfully arrested due to facial recognition.
“If you think about the facial recognition software that often opens computer screens and things like that, misidentification is possible. So I think this has taught us something very important about facial analysis tools too,” Gripp said.
But the study does seem to suggest one conclusion. At least physically, we may not be all that unique.
“I think all of us right now have somebody that looks like us, a double,” Esteller said.
While some would prefer to be singular in their look, Malone, who happens to be friends with his double, is heartened by the fact that he is not alone in his looks. His similarity to his friend has made them closer, and he thinks if more people knew how similar they were to others, that maybe they, too, could find commonality, especially in this polarized world.
“It’s made me realize that we are all connected,” Malone said. “We’re all connected because humankind probably starts with one little thing.”

Kookaburras’ defender Josh Simmonds has had the year of his life.
The 26-year-old is back in Melbourne this week to prepare for the long-awaited return of the Hockey One national competition, following a dominant Commonwealth Games where he was part of the undefeated Australian team.
Simmonds and the Kookaburras backed up their Olympic silver medal in Tokyo by demolishing India 7-0 in Birmingham final to take a seventh straight gold.
“The silver medal in Tokyo was unbelievable but, at the same time, bittersweet, because you obviously want gold,” Simmonds said.
“And then, in Birmingham, we’ve always matched up pretty well against India, we’ve always had success with our style against them, so we definitely went in with confidence and knew exactly what we needed to do — but we didn’t expect it to be 7-0.”
After a two-week holiday with his partner in Italy, Simmonds’ focus has now shifted to a leadership role with Hockey Club Melbourne.
He says it’s good to finally get back to the national competition, after it was ravaged by Covid in 2020 and 2021.
The revamped competition had launched in 2019 and the early signs were positive, but it’s back to square one following the two-year Covid-enforced hiatus.
He returns to Hockey Club Melbourne as one of its key players and feels a responsibility to bring on the next generation of players.
“I’ve played 50 games for Australia but there’s players who have played 200 or more, so I’m not as experienced as them internationally, but when you come back into a Hockey One environment you’re seen more as a leader who can give advice and someone the younger guys look up to more, just like I look up to someone like (Kookaburras’ legend) Eddie (Ockenden),” he said.
“It’s a different mindset and more responsibility.
“I made my state debut at 19 and had people like (HCM captain) Russell Ford and (former Kookaburra) Chris Ciriello who took me under their wing,” the Ringwood local, who plays his club hockey for Victorian Premier League side Doncaster, said.
“It’s a natural process. It’s now my turn to help a young guy who is still learning their craft and growing as a player.”
Hockeyroos’ young gun Amy Lawton headlines the women’s squad, with star veteran goalkeeper Rach Lynch, who recently retired from international competition, to lead.
“It has been a tough few years for our Victorian athletes and we’re excited to get these players back out on the pitch, playing in a high performance environment,” women’s coach Phil Burrows said.
“There’s some great competition in the Hockey One league and we’re looking forward to the challenge.”
Simmonds earmarked a quartet of young guns, as well as fellow Birmingham gold medallist Nathan Ephraums as men’s players to watch.
“Midfielders Jake Sherren and Max Hendry are in the national system and Connor Otterbach is the next young gun defender coming through Victoria,” he said.
“Liam Henderson, he’s made the U21 Australian squad and he’s 18 and he’s a very, very good striker — young athletic, can score a goal from anywhere.
“And then obviously we’ve got Nathan Ephraums, he was in Birmingham and scored plenty of goals, he’ll definitely be one to watch.”
Men’s coach Lachlan Anderson: “We made some really tough selection calls but I’m proud of the group we’ve put forward and believe it’s a great mix of talent from national players to the top players in our Victorian premier league teams,” Anderson said.
HCM plays its season openers against NSW Pride on September 29 at its home in Parkville.

First Wave BioPharma Inc. shares dived 19% to 13 cents after the company said it plans to initiate a 1-for-30 reverse stock split.
The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company said trading on a split-adjusted basis will begin when the market opens on Friday.
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of First Wave's common stock outstanding to about 1.4 million shares from approximately 42 million shares.
The company said the split is intended to increase the per- share trading price of its common stock to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, among other reasons.

Jennifer Lopez appears to still be in a bridal state of mind.
While enjoying an afternoon outing with husband Ben Affleck on their romantic Italian honeymoon, the Marry Me actress certainly displayed her newlywed glow.
Not only did the lovebirds look head over heels for each other as they held hands and gazed into each other's eyes during their Milan shopping trip on Aug. 25, but J.Lo's all-white ensemble was perfectly fitting for the occasion.
Just days after getting married to him for a second time, the "Let's Get Loud" singer bared her toned abs wearing a cropped crew neck tank top that she paired with wide-leg pants and nude platform heels. She accessorized with an off-white wide-brim hat and sheer brown sunglasses.
If anything, J.Lo's honeymoon get-up seemed like a modern-day version of her iconic look at the 2000 MTV VMAs. At the time, she wore a white cropped tank top, matching pants and heels. While she didn't wear a hat, she did style her hair with a bedazzled bandana.
The JLO Beauty founder's latest fashion moment is just one of many white looks she's worn in recent weeks.
During her lavish Georgia ceremony, the Second Act actress stunned in a custom Ralph Lauren Collection design. According to Vogue, the elegant gown featured more than 500 meters of fabric, which were cut into pieces to create the tiered ruffles of the billowing train. The front appeared simple but once she turned around, a dramatic low-back adorned with pearls made for a grand reveal.
And in true J.Lo fashion, she wore not one, not two but three dresses total for her big day.
Her second look was made entirely of pearls that cascaded down her body, while the final look of the evening featured a sexy keyhole cutout embellished with crystals.
"It was very romantic and classic," an eyewitness told E! News about the couple's wedding day. "J.Lo was ecstatic and there were a lot of tears of joy and laughter. Her smile said it all."
Before getting married in Georgia, the newlyweds eloped in Las Vegas on July 16. Jennifer broke the news on her On The JLO newsletter, writing, "We did it!"
"Love is beautiful," she continued. "Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient." | https://www.eonline.com/news/1343625/jennifer-lopez-recreates-her-iconic-2000s-mtv-vmas-look-with-modern-twist?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | 2022-08-26T02:11:24Z | https://www.eonline.com/news/1343625/jennifer-lopez-recreates-her-iconic-2000s-mtv-vmas-look-with-modern-twist?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | false |
Man arrested after wanting to drug, kidnap child from school, authorities say
XENIA, Ohio (WXIX/Gray News) - Police in Ohio say a man is facing multiple charges after he admitted to going to an elementary school to drug and kidnap a child.
WXIX reports authorities were called Monday evening by St. Brigid School Principal Terry Adkins about an unknown man, later identified as 35-year-old Reid Duran, who entered the school during an open house.
According to Adkins, Duran lied to him about who he was and why he was at the school.
Court documents said Adkins met officers in the parking lot and told them about Duran.
Authorities said Duran told them several stories about why he was at the school before eventually admitting that he came to the school to kidnap a juvenile.
Court documents shared that Duran voluntarily went to the Xenia Police Division. However, while speaking to officers, he picked up a pen, stood up and violently lunged at an officer.
Sgt. Lon Etchison of the Xenia Police Division said the officer defended himself and took Duran into custody.
According to court documents, Duran told officers that he was attempting to find a small child for sexual favors at the school. He also claimed that he preferred children between the ages of five and 13.
Duran reportedly told officers that he planned to give a child a Starburst candy that would tranquilize them. He said he planned to wait until the child passed out and then remove them from school.
Sgt. Etchison said Duran attempted to escape police custody after his interview and had to be physically restrained. Duran was then taken to the Greene County Jail.
Police said Duran has been charged with one count of attempted kidnapping, one count of felonious assault and one count of escape. He is currently scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 29.
Police urged anyone with further information to contact the Xenia Police Division Criminal Investigation Section at 937-376-7026.

WILBRAHAM, Mass. (WWLP) – A 12-year-old Wilbraham boy’s wish came true Thursday thanks to Friendly’s and the Shriner’s.
Ian Stratton was born without a left hand but was recently outfitted with a prosthetic through Shriner’s Children’s Hospital. The first thing he wanted to do was scoop his nightly ice cream and on Thursday, he got to do just that.
“We’re making you an official scoop master!”
“I would not mind working here. Being surrounded by ice cream would make me happy,” said Ian.
Ian was born with a limb difference and does not have a left hand so the Hero Arm prosthetic he has received will give him the ability to have a left hand.
“I feel unstoppable,” said Ian.
“It means a lot because Shriner’s has accepted him from the moment he came home and they have supported us as a family, since he’s been here. And they have opened so many doors and opportunities for him and we’re just really grateful. We’re grateful that Friendly’s is joining in with that. They’re saying, ‘Hey Ian, we believe in you and you can do anything,'” said Ian’s mom, Jennifer Stratton.
“Transforming lives, that’s what we do. We provide pediatric specialty care. Any way that we can help, to help them live their best lives, we’ll do it. And this is the perfect example,” said Jennifer Tross, Director of Marketing at Shriner’s Children Hospital New England.
“Shriner’s is very important to me and my family, and we are very grateful for it,” said Ian. | https://www.wivb.com/news/new-york/wilbraham-boy-scoops-friendlys-ice-cream-with-new-prosthetic-arm/ | 2022-08-26T02:19:01Z | https://www.wivb.com/news/new-york/wilbraham-boy-scoops-friendlys-ice-cream-with-new-prosthetic-arm/ | false |

A trophy mocked up to represent a paint bucket is one of the most unique prized possessions you’ll find in college football, and it brings bragging rights for 365 days a year to two North Dakota teams separated by just 35 miles.
“It’s just another game is what I want to say, but it’s not,” Jimmies’ head coach Brian Mistro said.
The rivalry between the University of Jamestown and Valley City State University has been more than just a game for 108 years. It’s a rivalry sharpened by some playful vandalism, most notably spray painting the winning score on the opposing team’s stadium.
“The presidents got together and said here’s an opportunity to eliminate the vandalism, and the trophy was born,” former Jimmies’ player and coach Kevin Gall said.
The paint buckey trophy has been passed back and forth since 1961 with Valley City owning a 62-52-4 advantage.
“It’s the outside of what your normal football, even us, it’s knowing the attention on our program at the time from the community, from our alumni around the area or around the nation that there’s interest,” Vikings’ head coach Dennis McCulloch said.
The rivalries go beyond the field when it comes private vs public school, recruiting the same athletes, academics between nursing and education, the geography between the two schools, and it all comes to a head between the lines.
“It’s just gotten bigger and better,” former Vikings’ player and coach Cory Anderson said. “The rivalry is, I think, just as intense. There’s lots of neighbors that live on both sides of it so to speak, but it’s what makes it a great friendly rivalry.”
For everyone involved there are endless memories, whether they are from wins or losses, but at the end of the day the Jimmies and the Vikings care about just one thing.
“When you’re a player it’s more of a hatred thing,” Gall said. “When you become a coach it’s more of a respect thing, bu you know, you never want to lose to Valley City.”
“You don’t want to do anything to diminishes your chances of getting that bucket or retaining that bucket,” Anderson said. “You know, the incentive is there for the coaches.”
And the incentive is there for the players, especially the ones who have tasted both victory and defeat.
“You know I was lucky enough to be part of a win my freshman year for it, so I felt that and it’s an awesome feeling,” Jimmies’ quarterback Cade Torgersons said. “And I’ve felt a loss in this game, so I mean it stings a little more than some of them I’d say, but the winning feeling is unexplainable.” | https://www.kxnet.com/sports/local-sports/the-history-behind-the-paint-bucket-rivalry/ | 2022-08-26T02:24:22Z | https://www.kxnet.com/sports/local-sports/the-history-behind-the-paint-bucket-rivalry/ | true |
(LEAD) S. Korea's new infections over 100,000 for 4th day amid resurgence woes
(ATTN: UPDATES with details in paras 7-12; CHANGES headline)
SEOUL, Aug. 26 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's new COVID-19 cases stayed above 100,000 for the fourth consecutive day Friday amid concerns over a resurgence of the omicron subvariant.
The country added 101,140 new COVID-19 infections, including 358 from overseas, bringing the total caseload to 22,802,985, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said.
Daily infections jumped to 180,752 cases on Aug. 17 from 84,097 a day earlier. The daily tally then declined over the following five days, falling to 59,025 on Monday.
But the daily caseload rebounded to 150,219 on Tuesday before dropping to 139,324 on Wednesday and 113,371 on Thursday.
The country reported 81 COVID-19 deaths, bringing the death toll to 26,413, the KDCA said. The fatality rate stood at 0.12 percent.
The number of critically ill patients came to 575, up from 566 a day earlier.
The recent decline in new infections raised cautious optimism that the latest virus wave may have passed its peak. But authorities remain on high alert over a possible resurgence in the COVID-19 pandemic this fall.
The KDCA said it expected the number of daily infections to show the reduction trend this week or next week, but the numbers of COVID-19 deaths and critically ill patients could increase in the next two to three weeks.
The health agency projected the numbers of critically ill patients and COVID-19 deaths could reach 800 to 900 and 100 to 140, respectively, in early September.
Of the locally transmitted 100,782 cases, Seoul reported 15,742 new cases, and Gyeonggi Province that surrounds the capital added 24,510 new infections. Incheon, a port city 27 kilometers west of Seoul, identified 5,336 new cases. These three regions took up 45 percent of the daily caseload.
Since the first local confirmation of COVID-19 on Jan. 20, 2020, the country has gone through multiple major waves of the virus.
The latest wave came during the height of the summer vacation season, fueled by the highly transmissible omicron subvariant BA.5 and the eased virus curbs.

Brayshaw brothers continue family football success as Andy named AFL All Australian
By Briana Fiore and Peter BarrSitting at his WA home wrapped in colours belonging to both the Dockers and the Dees, cricket great and proud grandfather of newly crowned All Australian Andy Brayshaw can't wipe the smile from his face.
Ian Brayshaw said he was over the moon to see the Fremantle young gun take out a spot in the 22-man AFL squad — reserved for only the most elite footballers.
Andy edged ahead of his older brother and Melbourne Demons player Angus, who was controversially left out of the team coming off the back of a premiership win with Melbourne.
Mr Brayshaw, an 80-year-old Albany resident, told the ABC he believed Angus was "robbed".
"He's had a terrific season and he's morphed into a very, very clever defender," Ian said.
Ian and his wife Joan said they had butterflies while watching the awards on the television on Wednesday night.
"It was a really very exciting time, we're terribly proud of both of them," he said.
Andy made the interchange bench, despite taking home the AFL Players Leigh Matthews Most Valuable Player (MVP) Trophy.
His peers voted him the best player in the game, with an average of 29 disposals.
His coach Justin Longmuir sang his praises, taking to social media to tell people: "You reap what you sow."
Young achiever
Andy is the youngest footballer in almost two decades to win the MVP award.
He was also named captain of the fan-voted 22under22 team, created by the AFL Players' Association.
It puts the 22-year-old in good stead for the upcoming Brownlow Medal count.
Ian said he didn't think Andy would win the Brownlow due to being heavily tagged in the second half of the season, but believed he'd come close.
Joan said she wanted Andy to rub oil on his skin to slip away from the taggers.
The Albany grandfather said Andy was always humble and never failed to answer a text message.
"He's a great family man. I think he's driven by being the youngest to prove himself in a pretty tough field with three other brothers," he said.
Joan said Andy wasn't just a great athlete, but also an academic.
"He got the vice chancellor award from Curtin University for being in the top one per cent of students," she said.
She also said Andy had a soft spot for the Great Southern.
"If you ask Andrew what his favourite city in Western Australia is, he says Albany, his girlfriend told me that," Joan said.
Finals bound
Both Melbourne and Fremantle will play finals this year, but Ian said his heart was torn between the two teams.
He said whenever the boys played against each other, he and Joan flipped a coin to see who would be barracking for the Dees and the Dockers.
"We watch all their games and Joan has to wear one colour and I wear the other, he said.
"If dreams come true they'll meet each other in the grand final."
Following last year's premiership, Joan said Andy told her he was not jealous of his brother's success, but inspired by what the Demons had done.
He expressed a desire to do the exact same at Fremantle.
The couple said they just hoped nobody got injured — and reflected back to 2018 when Andy's jaw was broken by West Coast's Andrew Gaff.
They said it was a difficult time but they were proud of their grandson's resilience.
Sporty genes
The Brayshaw family tree is full of sporting superstars.
Ian played cricket for Western Australia, and for Claremont in the WAFL.
His son Mark played for the Kangaroos and his other son James was a cricketer.
Ian's grandson Hamish, who is a brother to Andy and Angus, was also a former West Coast Eagle. He has since taken up a coaching role with the women's team.
While the three brothers chose footy, a fourth, Will, chose to serve Australia in the defence force. His grandfather said Will was also a talented footballer.
Despite his own sporting success, Ian said he was beyond proud of all of his grandsons.
"I had some happy moments as an athlete and the next dimension is your sons achieving," he said.
"And the greatest of all, to me, is your grandsons, much greater than my own achievements." | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-26/brayshaw-family-sports-dynasty-continues-cricket-afl-stars/101373268 | 2022-08-26T02:29:31Z | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-26/brayshaw-family-sports-dynasty-continues-cricket-afl-stars/101373268 | false |
KENNESAW, Ga. — A Kennesaw Mountain High School student has been hospitalized after getting hit by a vehicle Wednesday evening, a district spokesperson said.
The 15-year-old was crossing Kennesaw Due West Road by Westover Way around 5 p.m. as the driver of a 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser approached the intersection.
Cobb County Police Department traffic enforcement officers said the 15-year-old was trying to cross the street on the crosswalk when traffic lights warned not to. The child was struck by the front of the vehicle and was badly hurt.
Police said the teen was life-flighted to Grady Memorial Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver was not hurt.
"Our thoughts are with the student and their family during this difficult time," the district said in a statement.
Police said they are still investigating the crash and urged anyone with information to call investigators at 770-499-3987.

SUWANEE, Ga. — A grieving mother is asking for the public's help in finding the people who shot and killed her 16-year-old son in Suwanee.
It's been more than a month since Abel Castellanos was shot dead and his mother, Maria Alejandra Camacho said justice has felt slow as she mourns her child's death. He would have turned 17 years old Friday.
"My life will never be the same," Camacho said in Spanish. "It’s this hole for a mother. He was my first child, my first love. I love all my children equally but he taught me how to be a mother."
Castellanos was found dead July 19 around The Residences apartment complex off McGinnis Ferry Road. Suwanee Police said the teen was shot in the chest.
Now three teens are facing charges in Castellanos' death.
Police recently announced the arrest of 16-year-old Miguel Gabriel Flores. He is facing felony murder, armed robbery and aggravated assault charges. However, police are still searching for two people.
"Abel didn’t know any of the three suspects," Camacho said. "There was one who was driving who is still on the run and is being looked for, another shot, and the other one is behind bars tonight."
His family's pastor said Castellano and his family moved to the United States from Venezuela in search of a better life and to escape violence in their home country. His mother said, unfortunately, her family has not been able to escape trouble in the U.S. either.
"What I see right now is there is such freedom for children to somehow get ahold of weapons in any corner and we have to see how we can control that," she said.
Though to some, the death of her son may seem like part of an ongoing problem with youth violence, to her it's a lost opportunity as she'll never see her son's dreams come to fruition.
"Throughout his teenage years, he had a tough phase but he had so many expectations, so many goals to reach," she said.
Describing Castellanos as disciplined, she said her son would wake up at 5 a.m. to catch the school bus at 6 a.m. He'd go to work at 4 p.m. and end his day at 11 p.m.
"Then do it all over again the next day," she explained.
She said he came to the U.S. at 10 years old and was very focused on what he wanted to accomplish.
"He was very ambitious and had been working since he was 14 years old," she said. "You won't find that strength and discipline in many kids his age."
Police have not said who fired the fatal shot, only that Flores is being detained at the Regional Youth Detention Center and that they are searching for two 17-year-old boys. Camacho said she wants her son's case to see closure.
"Through it all, I feel some sense of peace that justice could be made, so that this doesn’t keep happening," the mother said. "If that person is still on the run, just like he did this to my son who he didn’t even know – he could do it again. He had no reason to do what he did."
Authorities said Jermaine Dondi Rimson and Joshua Ryan Poteat are wanted on similar charges as Flores. Anyone who knows about their whereabouts is asked to call Detective Dawn Zaenglein at 470-360-0689 or 770-904-7627. | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/three-teens-accused-of-murder-in-16-year-old-abel-castellanos-death/85-6bfa118c-eccc-407a-ad0b-6145fcd89a57 | 2022-08-26T02:32:00Z | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/three-teens-accused-of-murder-in-16-year-old-abel-castellanos-death/85-6bfa118c-eccc-407a-ad0b-6145fcd89a57 | false |

EXCLUSIVE: 'I'm a different kind of a guy, ya know?': Trump vetoed aides' plan to get COVID vaccine at public event with ex-presidents - and would show off the 'Lewinsky room' to White House visitors, new book claims
- Trump rejected a plan to appear with former presidents to get his COVID vaccine, according to a new book written by White House insiders
- Brian and Teresa Morgenstern were both involved in the pandemic response
- Brian was tasked with raising the idea of a public vaccination with the president
- 'He made a face that conveyed, shall we say, a healthy skepticism,' he writes
- The couple's book 'Vignettes and Vino' is published in October
Donald Trump vetoed a plan to get vaccinated against COVID-19 alongside former presidents during the final weeks of his time in office, according to a new book by a husband and wife who worked at the heart of the White House pandemic response.
At the time, late 2020, the president had recently recovered from the virus.
But journalists were bombarding officials with questions about when he would be given the new vaccine.
'So we started brainstorming potential scenarios in which the president could receive the vaccine in a public way,' writes Brian Morgenstern, White House deputy press secretary and deputy communications director at the time.
'One of the ideas was to have the president invite the former presidents to the White House—or to some other site—to have all of them receive the vaccine together in a show of unity.'
Aides figured that although the president might still have antibodies from his tussle with the virus, the event demonstrate his confidence in the safety of vaccine.
Morgenstern and another aide were tasked with taking the idea of appearing alongside Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama to the president in his private study.
'He made a face that conveyed, shall we say, a healthy skepticism,' writes Morgenstern.
'He said, "I'll get the shot. Do they want me to get the shot? I'll get the shot."
'But regarding an event with the former presidents, he said: "Nah, I'm a different kind of a guy, ya know?"
President Donald Trump rejected a plan to get publicly vaccinated for COVID-19 alongside former presidents, according to a new book by two former White House aides
Teresa Davis and Brian Morgenstern met when they were working for the Trump administration. She was senior communications adviser for Operation Warp Speed and a former Pentagon deputy press secretary. He was White House deputy press secretary and deputy communications director, and former deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury
They married in June, and their book 'Vignettes and Vino' is published in October
In the event, he received his first shot in private before leaving the White House in January 2021, but only revealed the news months later.
The story is one of dozens of behind-the-scenes tales revealed in 'Vignettes and Vino,' written by Brian and Teresa Morgenstern.
Teresa was senior communications adviser at the White House for Operation Warp Speed, the federal program to develop a vaccine in record time.
It puts them at the heart of the administration during some of its most testing times.
But instead of the usual political tell-all, they have written a book that mixes recipes with light-hearted anecdotes.
'Most books that come out of the Trump White House are pretty negative and nasty and controversial. And this is meant to be kind of the light-hearted side,' said Teresa.
'You know, we're one of several couples that worked at the White House and in the administration. But I think, you know, we had such a special and unique experience, working on Operation Warp Speed and the COVID-19 task force and all those good things together.'
The Morgensterns developed recipe and drink conversations during COVID lockdown
Morgenstern with Trump ahead of a hastily-convened press conference at Bedminster Golf Club, New Jersey, in August of 2020. Trump ribbed his aide for turning up in a polo shirt
The book takes readers on Air Force One and into meetings where Vice President Mike Pence clashed with COVID adviser Debra Birx.
And it offers a tour of the West Wing, through the Oval Office and the dining room that Trump used as his study.
'Across from the restroom is what some of us referred to as "the store" and the president referred to as the Lewinsky Room, for reasons we don’t need to discuss in this book,' write the authors.
They take a more tactful view than former aide Cliff Sims whose 2019 book 'Team of Vipers' described how Trump would delight in regaling visitors with crass conversations about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky's affair.
'Vignettes and Vino' will be published in October by Post Hill Press.
Some of the recipes are based on meals the couple developed during lockdown, when Brian was working long days at the White House and Teresa was stuck at home.
And they pair thematically with issues raised in each chapter. So there's a 'No-Collusion Mule' and a salad with a 'Turf War Dressing.'
'There's a chapter about discussing the Tiger King and whether or not we were going to pardon,' said Brian. 'So, you know, Joe Exotic we paired with an exotic recipe.'
Joe Exotic's legal team expected a pardon from Trump at the end of his presidency
However, a new book reveals how White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows shut down discussion of a pardon for Joe Exotic after he learned of the 'murder-for-hire' scheme
They reveal that the White House briefly - very briefly - discussed a possible pardon for Exotic, who had been sentenced to 22 years in prison for an attempted murder-for-hire scheme.
Trump had been asked about the issue during a White House press conference as public pressure mounted for a pardon, but said he did not know the show or its cast.
Then one day Brian was on Air Force One in the president's cabin chatting with Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany about trying to trigger an internet meltdown by tweeting a tiger emoji with no other commentary.
Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who was discussing something else with the president, pricked up his ears and asked for more information.
He cut off McEnany as she tried to explain.
'Meadows had heard enough with "murder-for-hire" and said abruptly, "Yeah, that doesn't sound like something we ought to be involved with."'
The result is meant to be a book that provides everything for a dinner party - food, drinks and topics of conversation.
'We lived through unimaginable circumstances in the White House during a pandemic Supreme Court confirmation, race riots across the country, very contentious elections, all at the same time,' said Brian.
'We had like the greatest crash course and crisis communications anyone could ever have.
'But at the end of the day, the way we got through it with level heads, and didn't completely go crazy, was because of our families and our friends and remaining grounded and having faith and knowing that what really matters is family, friends, good food, good drinks and togetherness.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11145767/Donald-Trump-vetoed-plan-COVID-vaccine-event-former-presidents-according-new-book.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-26T02:42:47Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11145767/Donald-Trump-vetoed-plan-COVID-vaccine-event-former-presidents-according-new-book.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
Daughter of first Lake Mead body to be identified says her single dad, 42, drowned in 2002 after falling off boat during midnight swim
- Tina Bushman and her brother Tommy were told on Tuesday that remains found in Lake Mead on May 7 were their father, Thomas Erndt
- Erndt, a single father, was with his two children and friends on August 8, 2002 when they jumped off their boat to go for a midnight swim
- Erndt got into trouble and called for help: by the time they turned the boat around, he had vanished, and his body was never found
- Bushman told DailyMail.com that she was relieved to have closure: Erndt was officially declared dead on Tuesday
The daughter of the first person to be identified from the freshly-emerged remains in Lake Mead has said her father drowned during a midnight swim there 20 years ago.
Five sets of human remains have been found in the Nevada lake, which is at its lowest level in over 80 years due to the drought.
The first person to emerge was a skeleton buried in a barrel, and shot in the head - believed to be a victim of 1970s mob violence in Los Angeles.
The second set of remains, it emerged on Wednesday, were those of Thomas Erndt, 42, who drowned on August 7, 2022 - 20 years before his remains were discovered.
His bones were discovered on May 7 at Callville Bay.
A man living in Spain was convinced the remains were his father, who died in a speedboat accident in the area in 1958.
But Tina Bushman, now 34, of Waco, Texas, told DailyMail.com on Wednesday afternoon that she had been informed it was her father.
Tina Bushman is pictured with her father Thomas Erndt. He drowned while swimming in Lake Mead in August 2002, aged 42. His remains were found on May 7
Thomas Erndt is seen with his daughter Tina Bushman and her brother, Tommy
The remains found on May 7 (pictured) are now confirmed to be of Thomas Erndt
Erndt's body (pictured) was discovered in drought-hit Lake Mead reservoir a week after corpse was found in barrel exposed by lowest water levels
The first body was discovered in a barrel (pictured). The coroner said her office was continuing work to identify the man whose body was found May 1 in a rusted barrel in the Hemenway Harbor area
She said the 42-year-old jumped from the boat into the water for a midnight swim with his children Tommy and Tina, then 11 and 15, respectively, and friends on August 8, 2002.
'I remember he took off his shirt and the waves were big,' she said.
'He was the first one in. He was being silly.'
Shortly after he jumped into Lake Mead – the largest reservoir in the U.S. – he started yelling for the group to turn on the boat and come get him.
However, they were unable to immediately start it and heard Erndt struggling.
'He yelled help like three times,' Bushman told DailyMail.com. 'We couldn't get the boat started.'
By the time they were able to turn on the boat and started circling, they were unable to find him.
Despite the family being pretty sure the airline mechanic had drowned, Erndt was not declared dead until Tuesday, Bushman revealed.

The family lived in Las Vegas, where Erndt raised his two children alone: after his death, an aunt and uncle in California took them in
A few months ago, a Las Vegas investigator had contacted Bushman in an attempt to inform her they might have possibly found Erndt's remains, based on the location of the bones in relation to the original incident report.
'She said it could be him, but said they needed DNA,' Bushman told DailyMail.com.
The investigator also informed her that the results could take a long time due to the bones being waterlogged
'I think we were all a little bit shocked. It was a big shock.'
She remembered the helicopters and law enforcement trying to find her father all those years ago, and was now facing the possibility of finding his remains.
'We always kind of wondered,' she told DailyMail.com.
Bushman and her brother, now 31, of California, both provided DNA samples and were told on Tuesday that the bones matched their father.
His daughter said the siblings felt 'relief and closure' after hearing the news, calling the moment 'bittersweet.'
'It was his favorite place. It was where he would have wanted to be,' she told DailyMail.com.

The Erndt family had visited Lake Mead nearly every weekend leading up to the tragic accident and it took Bushman nearly two years before she could return.
The family had stopped by to put flowers in the bay shortly after his death, but she never was able to fully go back for years.
'I still didn't get in the water,' Bushman told DailyMail.com. 'I still haven't gone swimming there.'
For years, the mother-of-four said she had a fear of swimming.
Looking back, she remembers her father working a lot of nights and had often taken his children to work with him.
Their parents were divorced, and their mother had left soon after, leaving Erndt to raise his two children alone.
'He was the best dad,' Bushman told DailyMail.com. 'He always took care of us.'
Despite Lake Mead being a place of tragedy for the family, Bushman said her favorite memories of her dad were also at the lake.
The family often went tubing and camping there and she remembered the many nights they cooked out and enjoyed hot dogs.
'I was so lucky for the 15 years I got,' she said. 'I'm so grateful.'
Shortly after the accident, Bushman and her brother moved to California with their aunt and uncle, who raised them.
From there, their relatives had to hire attorneys to deal with legal matters, such as custody, since Erndt had not been declared dead.
Her brother, she said, is not 'doing as well as me' when it comes to coping. Bushman had sought counseling to help her process her father's passing.
'He's still processing it,' she told DailyMail.com. 'We were really close to our dad.'

The identification of all the remains could take months, if not years.
Some of those who perished in the lake may be untraceable, as DNA sampling is a relatively new invention.
Police in Las Vegas are trawling their records of unsolved missing person cases, and have taken DNA from several families to see if answers can be found.
The most recent set of remains to emerge - the fifth - was on August 15, at Swim Beach.
The third and fourth sets of remains were also been found at Swim Beach.
Last week the coroner said those two sets of remains could be from the same person.
It is not yet known if this fifth set is also the same person as the third and fourth.
The discoveries have prompted speculation about long-unsolved missing person and murder cases dating back decades - to organized crime and the early days of Las Vegas, which is just a 30-minute drive from the lake.
The drop in the lake level comes while a vast majority of peer-reviewed science says the world is warming, mainly because of rising levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Scientists say the U.S. West, including the Colorado River basin, has become warmer and drier in the past 30 years.
About 40 million people rely on the Colorado River as their water supply, with Lake Mead and Lake Powell serving as the area's primary reservoirs.
According to NASA, water levels in Lake Mead are their lowest level since 1937. As of July 18, 2022, the lake was filled to 27 percent capacity.
In June, Ann Willis of the Center for Watershed Science told the Washington Post: 'In the last 1,200 years, we haven't seen a period as dry as right now.
'We're really hitting new lows in terms of how extreme the conditions are.'
Lake Mead once sat 1,200 feet above sea level.
But after more than two decades of drought, it was at only 1,040 feet above sea level in July - its lowest level since filling in the 1930s.
It is currently falling about 12 inches every week. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11147605/Daughter-Lake-Mead-body-identified-says-single-dad-42-drowned-2002.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-26T02:44:22Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11147605/Daughter-Lake-Mead-body-identified-says-single-dad-42-drowned-2002.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews last night's TV: After a polish, All That Glitters is a sparkling jewel in the TV crown
All That Glitters: Britain's Next Jewellery Star
A Farm Through Time
Many a true word in jest, and all that — Katherine Ryan was right when she joked that the semi-precious stone Malachite sounds like the love child of two reality stars.
'No, Malachite!' she snapped, in an Essex accent, imitating a stereotypical Love Islander. 'It ain't nice to bite people, babe!'
Any of the budget gemstones seen in All That Glitters: Britain's Next Jewellery Star (BBC2) would be ideal for celebrity offspring.
If Katie Price doesn't already have daughters called Tanzanite and Tourmaline, she wishes she did. And the next generation of Kardashians ought to be Kunzite, Kyanite and Khooni Neelam.
Cash is tight on BBC2, and the eight eager jewellers were working with chippings barely bigger than the diamond on the tip of a turntable stylus. Former English teacher Nyanda dropped hers.
Convinced she'd never find it and her efforts were ruined, she ran away from her workbench in tears.
Cash is tight on BBC2, and the eight eager jewellers were working with chippings barely bigger than the diamond on the tip of a turntable stylus
The show hosted by Katherine Ryan suffered an erratic launch last year, but it just needed a little cut and polish
Presenter Katherine got down on her knees to search, but it was found by a judge Shaun Leane.
Their keenness to help out, and the way contestants were expected to assist rivals, marked a change from the slightly aggressive competition of the first series. All That Glitters suffered an erratic launch last year, but it just needed a little cut and polish.
Thankfully, Katherine has ditched the political jokes, and kept the innuendos to the odd barbed aside.
The role of the judges has been amplified, with more expert commentary. That's crucial: most of us can enjoy Bake Off or Sewing Bee, because we all like cakes and wear trousers. But without some guidance, we're unlikely to know whether a chain has been well soldered or a bezel setting firmly fixed.
One simple but effective addition is a staircase of podiums where the judges can place the 'bestseller' pieces in order, from the top step to the bottom.
The 'bespoke' round salutes local heroes. This time, children's charity founder Hannah Simnett was rewarded for her mentoring organisation, Cherished, with a necklace cut into the shape of her name.
Syrian refugee Steve, who said he learned his metal-working skills in the Jungle camp in Calais, looked like an early favourite for the final.
Instead, he was the first to be sent home, after his chain fell off. 'Technically, it's not a necklace,' said Shaun.
Tianne-Louise, originally from East London, used cartoon-like bubble letters in her design. 'I figure if she's born in July, she might be bubbly,' she reasoned.
That set me wondering whether there might be a good gameshow in astrology.
Each week, players would try to guess the star signs of mystery celebs, based on clues about their lifestyles. Professor Brian Cox could be head judge. Let's call it Stars In Their Skies.
There's not much future in a gameshow inspired by traditional farming methods, though historian Ruth Goodman made a brave try at it on A Farm Through Time (C5).
Phil showed his restored tractor from WW2 to historian Ruth and farming brothers and presenters Rob and Dave Nicholson
While she worked a Victorian corn threshing machine from the Industrial Revolution, farming brothers Rob and Dave Nicholson set to work with medieval flails.
Like a stroll around a National Trust property, this show offers plenty of diverting glimpses into the past. We watched a blacksmith at work, and saw bunches of grapes in a glass house, grown from a cutting brought back after a 19th-century aristocrat's Grand Tour to Italy.
But the best sequence followed a young shire horse, Blossom, learning to pull a plough . . . though she's still at the practice stage, dragging a tractor tyre. 'There are fewer shire horses in the world, than there are giant pandas,' said Rob. What a glum statistic. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11147703/CHRISTOPHER-STEVENS-polish-Glitters-sparkling-jewel-TV-crown.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-26T02:46:14Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11147703/CHRISTOPHER-STEVENS-polish-Glitters-sparkling-jewel-TV-crown.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
Judge orders unsealing of redacted affidavit in Trump search
A judge ordered the Justice Department on Thursday to make public a redacted version of the affidavit it relied on when federal agents searched the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump to look for classified documents.
The directive from U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart came hours after federal law enforcement officials submitted under seal the portions of the affidavit that they want to keep secret as their investigation moves forward. The judge set a deadline of noon Friday for a redacted, or blacked-out, version of the document.
The order means the public could soon learn at least some additional details about what led FBI officials to search Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8 as part of an ongoing criminal investigation. Documents already made public show the FBI retrieved from the property 11 sets of classified documents, including information marked at the top secret level.
Search warrant affidavits typically contain vital information about an investigation, with agents spelling out to a judge the justification for why they want to search a particular property and why they believe they’re likely to find evidence of a potential crime there. But affidavits routinely remain sealed during the course of pending investigations, making the judge’s decision to reveal portions of it in this investigation all the more striking.
The redactions proposed by the Justice Department are likely to be extensive given the sensitivity of the investigation, lessening the likelihood that the document will offer a comprehensive look at the basis for the unprecedented search or significant insights about the direction of the probe. Yet even a redacted affidavit can contain at least some fresh revelations about the investigation, which brings fresh legal peril just as Trump lays the groundwork for another presidential run in 2024.
Federal agents are investigating potential violations of three different federal laws, including one that governs gathering, transmitting or losing defense information under the Espionage Act, according to documents already made public. The other statutes address the concealment, mutilation or removal of records and the destruction, alteration or falsification of records in federal investigations.
The Justice Department had earlier contested arguments by media organizations to make any portion of the affidavit public, saying the disclosure could contain private information about witnesses and about investigative tactics. But Reinhart, acknowledging the extraordinary public interest in the investigation, said last week that he was disinclined to keep the entire document sealed and told federal officials to submit to him in private the redactions it wanted to make.
In his order Thursday, Reinhart said the department had made compelling arguments to leave sealed broad swaths of the document that, if disclosed, would reveal grand jury information; the identities of witnesses and “uncharged parties”; and details about the investigation’s “strategy, direction, scope, sources and methods.”
But he also said he was satisfied “that the Government has met its burden of showing that its proposed redactions are narrowly tailored to serve the Government’s legitimate interest in the integrity of the ongoing investigation and are the least onerous alternative to sealing the entire Affidavit.”
Multiple news media organizations, including The Associated Press, argued in court for the disclosure of the affidavit, citing the extraordinary public interest in the federal search of a former president’s home.
After the Justice Department submitted its filing under seal on Thursday, the media coalition responded by asking the judge to unseal portions of the department’s brief and to direct the government, “going forward,” to file publicly a redacted version of sealed documents it submits. The groups noted that significant information about the investigation is already public.
“At a minimum, any portions of the Brief that recite those facts about the investigation, without revealing additional ones not yet publicly available — in addition to any other portions that pose no threat to the investigation — should be unsealed,” the news organizations wrote.
They added, “If and when additional facts come to light and are confirmed to be accurate, or certain facts no longer pose a threat to the investigation for any other reason, there is no justification for maintaining them under seal either.” | https://whyy.org/articles/judge-orders-unsealing-of-redacted-affidavit-in-trump-search/ | 2022-08-26T02:47:48Z | https://whyy.org/articles/judge-orders-unsealing-of-redacted-affidavit-in-trump-search/ | false |
60 Minutes star WINS his battle to prevent his neighbours having clear glass on their balconies - after complaining he would be able to see their washing and pushbikes
- Council vote in favour of frosted glass balconies on Nedlands properties
- 60 Minutes reporter complained to council about his neighbours' balconies
- Liam Bartlett said he didn't want to see his neighbours' 'bikes or washing'
- Bartlett said clear glass windows are outside the bounds of what's acceptable
- Owners say they will take the matter to the State Administrative Tribunal
Star 60 minutes reporter Liam Bartlett has convinced council his neighbours' balconies shouldn't be enclosed by clear glass so that he doesn't have to look at their laundry and pushbikes.
Nedlands Council in Perth voted seven to four on Tuesday in favour of maintaining frosted glass on the balcony balustrades of four homes opposite the TV star's property, The West Australian reported.
One of the owners living opposite Mr Bartlett, Geoff Nathan, said he and the owners of the three other homes would appeal the matter to the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT), believing they had a 'strong case'.
60 minutes star Liam Bartlett (pictured) has convinced council his neighbours' balconies shouldn't be allowed to have clear glass as he would have to look at their laundry and bikes
The removal of the condition, first imposed in May 2021, was supported by Nedlands Council for all the homes on the site.
The apartment owners had sought to compromise with the 60 Minutes reporter and 6PR host by saying they would agree to frosted glass on the upper level of their properties if they could maintain clear glass on the lower panels.
But Mr Bartlett, who had previously told the council he didn't want to have to look at his neighbour's washing or bikes on their balconies, objected to the inclusion of clear glass.
Mr Bartlett was already objected to the development when he told an earlier council meeting he had lost parking spaces and it had brought 'more bins and less amenity' to the area in which he lived.
PerthNow reported Mr Bartlett's house was elevated behind his wall and had four windows which overlooked the new developments.
'I don't know about you, but I'm not fond of looking out onto people's balconies and their bikes and their washing or whatever else they want to stick up on their balcony or what they're doing behind their balconies,' he said.
Owners of five terrace homes being built in the suburb of Nedlands in the inner-west of Perth, WA are fighting to have a condition to have frosted glass on their balcony removed and instead have clear glass balcony windows
Mr Bartlett said the recommendation to allow clear glass was 'beyond the pale'.
He also took a jab at the media reports of the story, claiming he had been portrayed as a cross between 'Genghis Khan and Thurston Howell III' from Gilligan's Island.
'It does have an impact on our house, on our windows, on our garden on our backyard, full stop,' he told council.
Mr Nathan wrote to the Mayor Fiona Argyle saying it was clear their homes would have limited natural light if they could not have transparent glass and that the decision in favour of Mr Bartlett could set a bad precedent.
Nedlands Council in Perth voted seven to four on Tuesday in favour of maintaining frosted glass on the balcony balustrades of four homes opposite the TV star's property
'Does that mean those councillors will vote against anything if people say there's overlooking from a glass balcony?' he said.
He also argued the frosted glass used on the balustrades was not 'a good look' for the apartments.
It's estimated further proceedings at the SAT could cost the council between $30,000 and $50,000.

Months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the legal implications continue to play out across the states of America. In three states -- Tennessee, Idaho and Texas -- new abortion restrictions went into effect on Thursday.
In Idaho, however, part of the state's ban has been temporarily blocked for now, while a lawsuit by the US Department of Justice proceeds. The Justice Department claims Idaho's exceptions for medical emergencies conflicts with federal law. And on Thursday, a judge temporarily blocked North Dakota's abortion ban, which the state was planning to start enforcing on Friday.
Legal challenges to abortion laws across the country have multiplied since the US Supreme Court issued its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization on June 24, ending the constitutional right to an abortion.
Other states are bringing the debate directly to voters. On Aug. 2, Kansans rejected a constitutional amendment that would've removed state protections for abortion. This fall, ballot initiatives in Kentucky and Montana could further restrict access to abortion, while in Vermont and California, voters will decide whether to codify abortion protections in their state constitutions.
Read on to learn about abortion access in each state, as well as the terminology frequently used in the debate on reproductive rights. For more information, visit the US Department of Health and Human Services' reproductive rights website.
Understanding abortion terminology
To fully comprehend the status of abortion in each state, it helps to understand frequently used terms.
Fetal viability is the ability of a fetus to survive outside of the uterus. The Supreme Court and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology consider a fetus to be viable starting at between 24 to 28 weeks, though there's no hard line. A fetus that can't live independently at any stage is considered "non-viable."
Even under Roe, most states restricted abortion after fetal viability with some exceptions for "fatal fetal anomalies."
An ectopic pregnancy is a rare but serious situation in which the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus and cannot survive.
Almost all state laws banning abortion make exceptions for life-threatening pregnancies or medical emergencies, although several require that two physicians diagnose the pregnancy as life-threatening. A limited number of abortion bans make exceptions in cases of rape or incest.
Weeks of pregnancy and gestational age are both generally defined as the time since the first day of the last menstrual period before pregnancy. Some states ban abortions after a certain number of weeks post-fertilization, meaning the period after a sperm has fertilized an ovum and created a zygote.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists defines the start of pregnancy as when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus, which occurs about a week after fertilization. It's very difficult to determine the exact time of conception or fertilization, which is why most medical providers use the last menstrual period to determine gestational age.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 79% of abortions in the US in 2019 occurred before nine weeks and 93% before 13 weeks. Some state laws outlaw abortion at six to seven weeks -- before many women are aware they're pregnant.
In addition, while the abortion debate is often framed as involving a woman's right to choose, and many abortion laws refer specifically to "the life of the mother" being at risk, access to abortion doesn't only concern cisgender women: It impacts anyone whose body is capable of getting pregnant, which includes trans men, intersex people and nonbinary and gender-expansive individuals.

Abortion laws by state
With the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, access to abortion now varies greatly from state to state. Below are the regulations in all 50 states, as well as in Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico. New laws and legal challenges are expected, so check with your state health department for the most up-to-date information.
Alabama
Passed in 2019, Alabama's HB 314 bans almost all abortions, except in cases of life-threatening pregnancies. The law had been put on hold due to legal challenges but will likely go into effect with Roe v. Wade being overturned.
Until the law's current injunction is overruled, abortions are prohibited after 22 weeks of gestation. The state also requires counseling, ultrasound, a 48-hour waiting period and parental consent for minors.
Alaska
Abortions are fully legal in Alaska, though state-directed counseling is required, as is parental consent for minors. The Alaska Supreme Court ruled that abortion is protected by the state constitution.
Alaskans will decide in a November 2022 referendum whether to hold a constitutional convention as a path toward banning abortion in the state.
Arizona
A law signed by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey in March bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy except if necessary to save the mother's life. Physicians performing abortions face felony charges and loss of their professional licenses.
The statute is slated to take effect 90 days after the legislature adjourns its 2021-2022 session.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich says an 1864 law predating Arizona statehood and mandating prison time for abortion providers is in effect now and supersedes the newer statute. Ducey has said the newer statute takes precedence. On July 13, Brnovich filed a lawsuit with the Pima County Superior Court, asking to remove the injunction on the 158-year-old territorial law, which bans all abortions.
Previously, Arizona allowed abortions until fetal viability, approximately 24 to 28 weeks. Arizona requires state-directed counseling, ultrasound, a 24-hour waiting period and parental consent for minors.
Arkansas
A 2019 law, HB 318, makes providing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $100,000. There are exceptions in cases of life-threatening pregnancies.
California
Abortion in California is legal until the point of fetal viability.
In 2002, the California Legislature passed a law that prevents the state from denying or interfering with a woman's right to obtain an abortion up to that point, or when an abortion "is necessary to protect the life or health of the woman."
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has pledged to make California an abortion sanctuary state, establishing it as a haven for people who need access to abortion, whether they live in California or not.
A referendum on the November ballot would enshrine the right to abortion and access to contraception in the California constitution.
Colorado
Colorado allows abortion until fetal viability, though parents of minors must be notified.
In 2020, voters rejected a ban on abortions after 22 weeks. In April 2022, Colorado lawmakers passed HB 22-1279, codifying protections for reproductive care, including abortion, and ensuring that fertilized eggs, embryos and fetuses don't have the rights of personhood under Colorado law.
Connecticut
Connecticut allows abortions only up to the point of fetal viability unless necessary to preserve the woman's life or health. Patients under 16 can obtain an abortion after receiving counseling from a nurse or clinician.
In May 2022, Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont signed first-in-the-nation reproductive rights legislation making Connecticut an abortion sanctuary state. Starting July 1, medical providers are shielded from laws in other states that have outlawed abortion, as are patients who travel to the state for abortion services and anyone who helps them.
Delaware
Delaware law allows abortions until the point of fetal viability.
In June 2022, lawmakers introduced, House Bill 455, which would protect Delawareans who obtain, provide or assist others with getting legal abortions from facing civil suits in other states. It would also allow physician assistants and certified nurse practitioners and nurse-midwives to perform abortions.
Florida
In April 2022, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law banning abortion after 15 weeks, set to take effect July 1, with exceptions to prevent serious harm or death of the patient but not cases of incest, rape or human trafficking.
Among the groups challenging the law is Congregation L'Dor Va-Dor, which argues that the ban violates Jewish teachings on reproductive rights.
On June 30, Judge John Cooper temporarily blocked enforcement of the 15-week ban, calling it unconstitutional because it violates the privacy provision of the Florida constitution. The state has appealed to the Florida Supreme Court, which automatically ensures a stay on Cooper's injunction while the various legal challenges play out, The Guardian reported.

Georgia
With Roe now overturned, a 2019 Georgia law goes into effect banning most abortions once cardiac activity has been detected in an embryo, generally at about six weeks. There are exceptions for cases of rape or incest when a police report has been filed, and when a pregnancy has been deemed "medically futile" by a physician.
The 2019 ban faces a legal challenge from the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Coalition but has been allowed to take effect while the case works its way through the courts.
Previously, abortion was legal in Georgia up to 20 weeks into a pregnancy.
Hawaii
In 1970, Hawaii became the first state to fully legalize abortion up to the point of fetal viability.
In 2006, the state amended its law to ensure full access to abortion services no matter what happened on the federal level. It also removed a requirement that individuals seeking an abortion be a resident for at least 90 days and allowed the procedure to be performed outside of hospitals in clinics and doctors' offices.
Idaho
In March 2022, Idaho lawmakers passed Senate Bill 1309, modeled on a Texas law that allows potential relatives of an embryo or fetus to sue medical providers for abortions performed after six weeks. In April, the state Supreme Court temporarily blocked SB 1309, but a court overruled that injunction on Aug. 12, allowing the law to take effect immediately.
A separate Idaho trigger law passed in 2020 banning all abortions was also blocked in April, but the court decision allowed the law to take effect Aug. 25.
The US Department of Justice has sued Idaho, claiming that the lack of an exception for medical emergencies in the state's total abortion ban is unconstitutional. A federal judge has temporarily blocked part of the new law, saying the state can't ban abortion when it conflicts with federal law about emergency abortion care.
The Idaho Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the constitutionality of the state's abortion laws. Its Aug. 12 decision allows the bans to be enforced while the legal challenges to them continue through the courts.

Illinois
Abortion is legal in Illinois up until the point of fetal viability, and that isn't expected to change.
In 2019, the state removed regulations for abortion providers with a law declaring a "fundamental right" to abortion.
Indiana
On Aug. 5 the Indiana Legislature passed legislation that would make providing an abortion a felony in almost all cases. Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb signed the bill into law just moments later.
Set to go into effect on Sept. 15, it's the first state ban passed since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade.
Previously, Indiana technically allowed abortions up to 22 weeks of pregnancy, but strict limitations -- including bans on abortion medication after 10 weeks and requirements for state-directed counseling and ultrasound at least 18 hours before an abortion -- meant most abortions happened in the first 13 weeks of pregnancy, NPR reported.
A 2019 law banning dilation and evacuation abortions had been previously blocked by a court ruling, but a court decision on July 8 overturned the injunction, allowing the ban to take effect immediately.
Iowa
Iowa allows abortions up to 20 weeks after fertilization and requires an ultrasound and parental notification for minors.
In 2019, the state passed a law banning all abortions after six weeks, but it was struck down by the Iowa Supreme Court. The status of that law won't change even though Roe v. Wade is no longer the law of the land.
Kansas
Kansas bans abortions after 22 weeks and requires patients to undergo ultrasounds and state-directed counseling.
Republican lawmakers banned dilation and evacuation abortions in 2019, but the law was struck down by the state Supreme Court.
On Aug. 2, Kansans overwhelmingly rejected a constitutional amendment that would have removed state protections for abortion, which is allowed there until 22 weeks of pregnancy.
The ballot measure, which was voted down by nearly 59%, marks the first time voters in the US have weighed in on reproductive rights since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in June.
Kentucky
In 2019, Kentucky became one of the first states to pass an abortion trigger law, which went into effect after Roe v. Wade was struck down. The law states that providing surgical or medical abortion is a Class D felony, except if necessary to save the life of the patient or to prevent permanent impairment of a life-sustaining organ.
The new law was temporarily blocked by court rulings in June and July, but on Aug. 1, an appeals court reinstated the state's near-total ban, making all abortions in the state immediately illegal.
Before Dobbs, Kentucky allowed abortions up to 22 weeks, requiring parental consent for minors, ultrasound, state-directed counseling and a 24-hour waiting period.
In November 2022, Kentucky voters will decide by referendum whether the Kentucky state constitution suggests a right to abortion or requires government funding for abortion.
Louisiana
In 2006, Louisiana passed a trigger law that bans all abortions except to prevent "substantial risk of death or permanent impairment under certain circumstances."
After Roe was struck down, the law was temporarily blocked pending a lawsuit by the Center for Reproductive Rights. On July 8, a Louisiana court lifted the stay on the near-total ban, but it was reinstated four days later with a hearing set for July 18.
Louisiana amended its state constitution in 2020 to remove any language that might imply the right to an abortion.
Maine
Maine allows abortions up to fetal viability, and beyond that in cases of life endangerment.
In 2019, Maine codified legal abortion into law and passed legislation allowing people other than doctors to perform the procedure. In April, the state passed a law designed to prevent the harassment of patients at abortion clinics.
Maryland
Abortion is legal in Maryland up until the point of fetal viability, though in the case of a minor, parents must be notified.
In 1992, Maryland voters passed a referendum affirming access to abortion, intended to protect abortion in Maryland in case the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Massachusetts
Massachusetts allows abortion until fetal viability. In 2018 the state passed a law removing outdated restrictions on abortion.
In late 2020, the state also passed legislation called the Roe Act, which expanded access to abortion and made it explicitly legal in the case of Roe v. Wade being overturned.
Michigan
Abortions in Michigan are legal until fetal viability, though state-directed counseling and a 24-hour waiting period are required.
With Roe v. Wade overturned, opponents of abortion are looking to enforce a 1931 law making all abortions illegal. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has sued to block the law, saying that the due process and equal protection clauses of the state constitution make it invalid.
On Aug. 1, a court of appeals ruled that the injunction against the 1931 law does not apply to county prosecutors, but an Oakland County judge issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting its enforcement.
The Michigan Bureau of Elections is validating signatures received to put a referendum on the ballot in November that would affirm the right to abortion in the state constitution. Opponents of the measure say missing spaces in the ballot initiative mean it includes "extended passages of incomprehensible argle-bargle."
Minnesota
Minnesotans' right to abortion is protected by a 1995 ruling by the state's Supreme Court, and Gov. Tim Walz has declared that "no abortion ban will ever become law" during his term.
In July, a Minnesota district court ruled that some restrictions -- including a 24-hour waiting period, two-parent notification requirement for minors and a ban on nurse practitioners and midwives performing abortions -- went against the state constitution. The decision may be appealed, but reproductive rights activists say it bolsters Minnesota's status as an abortion access "island" in the Midwest, where many states have enacted total or near-total bans.
Mississippi
Mississippi's Gestational Age Act of 2018, which limited abortions to the first 15 weeks of pregnancy, was the subject of the Supreme Court case that led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
A Mississippi trigger law passed in 2007 outlaws all abortions except in cases of rape or to save the life of the patient. The law went into effect on July 7, 2022. On July 20, Jackson Women's Health Organization, the only abortion clinic in the state and the subject of the historic Supreme Court ruling, dropped its plans to challenge the state's abortion law.
Missouri
Following the Supreme Court ruling, Missouri invoked a trigger law banning all abortions in the state, with an exception if the life of the woman is at stake but not in cases of rape or incest.
The law makes inducing an abortion a class B felony, with a possible prison sentence of five to 15 years. Abortion providers can also have their medical licenses suspended or revoked.
Previously, abortions were banned after 20 weeks' gestational age and required state-directed counseling, ultrasound and a 72-hour waiting period.
Montana
Abortion in Montana is protected by a 1999 state Supreme Court decision that isn't affected by the overturning of Roe v. Wade. However, state Attorney General Austin Knudsen has asked the Montana Supreme Court to overturn the 1999 decision.
Several state abortion restrictions that were passed in 2021 are being challenged in court by Planned Parenthood. Pending legislation would ban abortions after 20 weeks gestational age and block providing abortion medication through the mail.
A referendum before voters in November, the Medical Care Requirements for Born-Alive Infants Measure, would extend legal personhood to infants "born alive" at any stage of development, and require infants born from induced labor, cesarean section or failed abortion to receive medical care.
Failure to provide treatment could come with punishments of up to $50,000 and 20 years in prison.
Nebraska
Abortions in Nebraska are legal up to 22 weeks. The state requires mandated counseling and a 24-hour waiting period, as well as parental consent for minors and a ban on telemedicine for abortion medication.
In February, the state failed to pass a trigger law that would've banned all abortions when Roe v. Wade was overturned. Nebraska legislators have indicated they may call a special session to try again to pass the bill.
Nevada
Nevada allows legal abortions up until 24 weeks. In 1990, state law revisions protecting abortion were passed by referendum and can't be changed by the legislature without a repeal from state voters. Only physicians can perform abortions, and parental consent is required for minors.
New Hampshire
New Hampshire has no specific laws protecting abortion. A 2022 state law made abortions after 24 weeks illegal and added several requirements, like ultrasound and parental consent for minors.
In May 2022, Gov. Chris Sununu signed a law allowing abortions after 24 weeks in the case of fatal fetal anomalies.
New Jersey
Abortion remains legal in New Jersey. Assembly Bill 6260, passed in January 2022, protects the right to abortion and removed several restrictions from the law, including the requirement that only physicians provide abortions.
In 2000, the state Supreme Court struck down a law requiring parental consent for minors.
New Mexico
In 1969, New Mexico passed a law criminalizing abortion, but the state legislature repealed it in February 2021. The repeal also removed requirements for parental consent for minors.
There's no law protecting abortion in New Mexico, but the overturning of Roe v. Wade doesn't immediately impact abortion access in the state.
New York
New York state legalized abortion in 1970, three years before the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, and a 2019 law lifted several restrictions, including a requirement that only physicians could provide abortions.
A 2019 law, Section 2599-BB, removed abortion from the New York state criminal code and allowed abortion after 24 weeks in the case of a life-threatening pregnancy or a nonviable fetus.
North Carolina
Before Dobbs, abortion was legal in North Carolina until fetal viability, considered approximately 22 weeks.
On Aug. 17, 2022, a US district court judge lifted an injunction against a law banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The hold had been in place since 2019 but was lifted now that Roe has been overturned.
State regulations also mandate parental consent for minors, ultrasound, mandatory state-directed counseling and a 72-hour waiting period before terminating a pregnancy.
North Dakota
Passed in 2013, North Dakota's trigger law makes terminating a pregnancy a Class C felony punishable by a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine, except to save the life of the mother or in the case of rape or incest.
The state's only abortion clinic, Red River Women's Clinic in Fargo, has filed suit, alleging that North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley prematurely certified the Supreme Court ruling striking down Roe v. Wade.
On July 27, 2022, one day before the law was to take effect, a judge issued a temporary injunction pausing enforcement of the abortion ban. The temporary injunction was continued with another ruling on Aug. 25.
Ohio
On June 24, a federal judge lifted an injunction against Ohio's so-called "fetal heartbeat" law, which bans abortion after the detection of fetal cardiac activity -- about six weeks into a pregnancy -- with an exception if the life of the patient is at stake but not in cases of rape or incest.
Healthcare providers found guilty of performing an abortion could face felony charges and up to a year in prison.
Senate President Matt Huffman, a Republican from Lima, said residents who seek abortions in other states would not be prosecuted. "If someone is going to go to New York to have an abortion, we're not going to know that and we're not going to be able to prevent that," Huffman told USA Today.
Previously, abortions were legal in Ohio up to 20 weeks after fertilization, though they require mandatory counseling, a 24-hour waiting period and ultrasound.
Oklahoma
Post-Roe, anyone who performs an abortion at any point after fertilization could be subject to up to two to five years in prison unless the life of the mother is at risk. (A trigger law goes into effect on Aug. 26 that increases the penalties to 10 years in prison and/or a fine of $100,000.)
The statute makes exceptions for miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, to save the life of the patient and if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest that has been reported to law enforcement. It is also aimed at medical professionals -- a woman having an abortion would not be charged.
Like the Texas ban, Oklahoma's law allows private citizens to sue anyone who helps a woman obtain an abortion for at least $10,000 in damages.
Anti-abortion advocates are gathering signatures to get a measure on the ballot in November, stating that nothing in the constitution secures or protects the right to an abortion, which it calls "a unique and destructive act that terminates the life of an unborn human being."
Oregon
Oregon has enacted several laws to expand access to reproductive care: In 1983, abortion became a right under the state Constitution. In 2017, the state began allowing nonphysician health professionals to provide abortion care and passed a law that requires private insurers to cover the costs of abortion.
In 2018, voters rejected a ballot measure to restrict use of state funds for abortion.
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania allows abortions up to 24 weeks after the last menstrual period. In 1982, the state legislature added requirements including state-directed counseling, ultrasound, a 24-hour waiting period and parental consent for minors.
Puerto Rico
Abortion has been legal in Puerto Rico since 1937. Before Roe v. Wade, some Americans living in states where they couldn't legally get an abortion would travel to the US territory to obtain one.
In 2019, Puerto Rico passed some of its first restrictions, including the requirement of parental consent for minors.
Proposed in April 2022 and now under debate, Senate Project 693 would restrict abortions to 22 weeks after fertilization.
Rhode Island
Abortions are legal and minimally restricted in Rhode Island. Parental consent is required for minors and only physicians are allowed to perform the procedure.
In 2019, state lawmakers repealed a law criminalizing abortions after 12 weeks and replaced it with a measure that added statutory protections but didn't guarantee the right to abortion in the state constitution.
South Carolina
South Carolina outlaws abortions after six weeks, with exceptions for rape or incest.
Under Roe, abortion was strictly limited, with mandatory state-based counseling, a 24-hour waiting period and a ban on abortions after 20 weeks post-fertilization.
South Dakota
A trigger law passed in 2005 bans abortions except in the case of life-threatening pregnancies.
Under Roe, South Dakota banned abortions after 22 weeks, requiring counseling and mandating a 72-hour waiting period. A law signed in March 2022 further restricted abortion medication.
Tennessee
A trigger law passed in 2019 effectively bans all abortions in Tennessee, except in the case of life-threatening pregnancies. It went into effect on Aug. 25, 30 days after the Supreme Court's formal decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
Tennessee voters amended the state constitution in 2014 to remove abortion protections granted by a state Supreme Court ruling in 2000.
Texas
In 2021, Texas passed a trigger law that criminalizes almost all abortions after six weeks except to save the life of the pregnant patient or if they risk "substantial impairment of major bodily function." The law, which makes providing an abortion punishable by up to life in prison and fines of up to $100,000, took effect on Thursday, Aug. 25, 30 days after Roe v. Wade was formally overturned.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has said that a 1925 law banning almost all abortions was never repealed and is still in effect. That law made performing an abortion punishable by up to 10 years in prison. On June 28, a Houston judge temporarily blocked enforcement of the 97-year-old law after the ACLU filed suit.
On July 1, the state Supreme Court ruled Texas could indeed enforce the 1925 abortion ban, overruling the Houston court's decision. The decision doesn't allow criminal charges to be filed against someone assisting in the procurement of an abortion, but they can face civil penalties.
Utah
With Roe v. Wade overturned, a trigger law passed in 2020 makes performing an abortion a second-degree felony in Utah, punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. It took effect immediately after the Supreme Court announced its ruling on June 24, 2022.
There are exceptions in the case of rape, incest or a life-threatening pregnancy. Abortion is also permissible in the case of a fatal defect or "severe brain abnormality" in the fetus. This exception does not include Down syndrome, cerebral palsy or other conditions that don't result in a vegetative state.
Enforcement of the law has been stayed while a Planned Parenthood lawsuit works its way through the courts.
Before the June 2022 Supreme Court ruling, women seeking abortions had to agree to state-based counseling, a 72-hour waiting period and parental consent for minors.
Vermont
Vermont has no major restrictions on abortion. An abortion ban was ruled unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court in 1972 and repealed by the legislature in 2014.
In 2019, Republican Gov. Phil Scott signed Act 47, a sweeping reproductive rights law that established the right to abortion without government interference.
Vermont Proposal 5, the Right to Personal Reproductive Autonomy Amendment, is on the ballot in November and would add language prohibiting government infringement on the right to personal reproductive autonomy "unless justified by a compelling state interest."
Virginia
Abortion is generally legal in Virginia up until 25 weeks of gestation. A 2020 law repealed several restrictions, including a 24-hour waiting period and a requirement that only physicians provide abortions.
In 2021, the state removed a prohibition on state exchange insurance covering abortion.
Washington
In 1971, Washington state repealed criminal penalties for terminating a pregnancy, and abortions are legal up to the point of fetal viability, somewhere between 23 and 24 weeks.
In 2018, the right to abortion was written into a state law that also requires insurers that provide maternity care to cover abortions.
In March 2022, the state passed a law that shields both patients and providers from out-of-state prosecution, in response to laws in Texas and elsewhere allowing citizens to sue abortion providers.
Washington, DC
The right to an abortion was codified into law in 2020 with the passage of DC Law 23-90, which also prohibits employment discrimination against health care professionals who perform or are willing to perform abortions.
West Virginia
Currently, West Virginia bans abortions after 22 weeks except in cases of life endangerment or severe health risk. It also requires a 24-hour waiting period, counseling and parental notification for minors. In 2018, West Virginia voters agreed to amend the state constitution to specifically declare that it doesn't include any right to abortion.
A law signed by Republican Gov. Jim Justice in March 2021 prevents a woman from getting an abortion because she believes her child will be born with a disability.
A law from 1849 makes performing an abortion a felony punishable by three to 10 years in prison. On July 18, Kanawha Circuit Judge Tera Salango stayed the enforcement of that statute because it predates West Virginia statehood and hasn't been enforced in a half-century.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is appealing Salango's ruling.
On July 27, 2022, the West Virginia House passed a bill that would ban abortions at any stage of pregnancy with exceptions for a nonmedically viable fetus, ectopic pregnancy or medical emergency but not in cases of rape or incest. If passed, an abortion provider could be subject to felony charges and face between three to 10 years imprisonment.
The measure now goes to the state Senate for consideration.
Wisconsin
A law dating to 1849 makes abortion a felony, but it's not clear if the 173-year-old ban will now go into effect as State Attorney General Josh Kaul has said he wouldn't enforce the "draconian" law.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has called on the Republican-led legislature to repeal that law, but it isn't expected to do so.
Until now abortion in Wisconsin has been legal up to the 22nd week, though state regulations require counseling, parental consent for minors, a 24-hour waiting period and mandatory ultrasound. They also prohibit telemedicine for abortion medication.
Wyoming
In March, Wyoming passed House Bill 92, a trigger law that outlaws all abortions except in the case of life-threatening pregnancies.
On July 27, the day HB 92 was set to take effect, a judge temporarily blocked enforcement of the law, siding with a women's health clinic that argued it violates an amendment to the Wyoming constitution saying competent adults have the right to make their own health care decisions. Their lawsuit also claims the ban will harm the women by prohibiting potentially life-saving treatment.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Matt Araiza, the “Punt God” who led San Diego State to a record-setting season before being drafted by the Buffalo Bills, and two of his former Aztecs teammates were accused in a civil lawsuit Thursday of gang-raping a teenager at an off-campus party last fall.
The lawsuit, filed in San Diego County Superior Court, accuses Araiza, Zavier Leonard and Nowlin “Pa’a” Ewaliko of gang-raping a then-17-year-old girl at a Halloween party at a home where Araiza had been living.
The plaintiff, now 18, is identified in the complaint as “Jane Doe” because she was underage at the time.
No arrests have been made and San Diego Police have not publicly identified any suspects.
Leonard is listed on San Diego State’s roster as a redshirt freshman offensive lineman from Arlington, Texas. Ewaliko is not listed on this year’s roster, but was on the 2021 roster as a defensive lineman from Seattle.
The lawsuit states that the teen had been drinking with friends when they decided to go to the party on Oct. 17 and she was “observably intoxicated upon arrival.” She became separated from her friends and was approached by Araiza who offered her a drink, according to the lawsuit. She believes the drink “not only contained alcohol, but other intoxicating substances,” the complaint said.
She told Araiza, who was 21 at the time, that she was a high school senior, according to the lawsuit. She alleges he then led her to a side yard where he asked her to perform oral sex and then had sex with her before taking her to a bedroom in the home. There were at least three other men in the room, including Leonard and Ewaliko, according to the complaint. The lawsuit states that Araiza threw the teen onto the bed face first as she went in and out of consciousness while she was being raped. It added, “but she does remember some moments from the horrific gang rape.”
After an hour-and-a-half, the teen “stumbled out of the room bloody and crying,” according to the complaint. Her nose, belly button, and ear piercings had been pulled out.
She immediately told her friends about the rape and the next day reported it to police and underwent a rape exam, according to the lawsuit. Officers coached her on calling Araiza, which she did 10 days later as detectives recorded it, according to the complaint.
During the call, Araiza confirmed having sex with her, the lawsuit states, but when she asked him “And did we have actual sex?” he responded “This is Matt Araiza. I don’t remember anything that happened that night” and hung up.
“This was a horrific crime, the kind of which happens all too often,” attorney Dan Gilleon said in a statement to the AP. Gilleon said this case is especially egregious because it not only involved “self-entitled athletes,” but multiple organizations from the university to the Buffalo Bills “have acted the part of enablers looking the other way in denial that my client deserves justice even if the defendants are prized athletes.”
The Los Angeles Times first reported the lawsuit.
Attorney Kerry Armstrong, who represents Araiza in the criminal investigation, called the allegations untrue based on the findings of an investigator he hired.
“I 100% do not believe that he ever forcibly raped this girl or had sex with her while she was passed out or drunk or anything like that,” Armstrong told the AP. “It’s unfortunate that she’s filed a civil suit. I think it’s a cash grab.”
Armstrong said the Bills were aware of the allegations and investigation of Araiza before the lawsuit was filed because he provided the team updates since he was retained by the punter about six weeks ago.
“Matt Araiza’s very upset about this, as you can imagine. He’s very disappointed,” Armstrong said. “But he’s going to get his day in court eventually.”
Armstrong said he’s been informed police have all but completed their criminal investigation, which will then be reviewed by the district attorney to determine whether to file charges.
Marc Xavier Carlos, who is representing Ewaliko in an ongoing criminal investigation, and Jamahl Kersey, representing Leonard, told the Times they could not comment.
The lawsuit comes days after the Bills cleared the way for Araiza to take over the punting duties by releasing returning veteran Matt Haack. Buffalo drafted Araiza in the sixth round because of his booming left leg.
The 22-year-old Araiza, who attended San Diego’s Rancho Bernardo High, was SDSU’s most recognizable player during a school-record 12-2 season that netted a No. 25 ranking in the final AP Top 25 poll. He routinely flipped the field with his jaw-dropping punts and set an NCAA record with a 51.19-yard average. He won the Ray Guy Award and was a first-team AP All-American.
“We were recently made aware of a civil complaint involving Matt from October 2021,” the Bills said in a statement. “Due to the serious nature of the complaint, we conducted a thorough examination of this matter. As this is an ongoing civil case, we will have no other comment at this point.”
The Bills traveled to Carolina for their exhibition finale at the Panthers on Friday night. It’s unclear whether Araiza will play against the Panthers, though the Bills have no other punter on their roster. Haack has since signed with the Indianapolis Colts.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Wednesday denied Beaumont electrician Calvin Walker's petition, which sought to overrule a February ruling by the Ninth Court of Appeals which affirmed his conviction.
Walker was convicted in September 2019 for submitting false invoices to Beaumont ISD while working as a contracted electrician.
That verdict came after five days of testimony and more than a day of jury deliberation, according to previous Enterprise reporting.

At that time, he was ordered by Jefferson County Criminal District Court Judge John Stevens to pay a fine of $10,000 and serve 180 days in jail. That sentence was to be served on the weekends in order for Walker to continue his job.
Walker was compelled by the court to pay $2.6 million, the difference in the amount Walker charged Beaumont ISD for his work versus how much it was actually estimated to cost, which was $300,000.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will accelerate the world’s shift to renewable energy because of price shocks in oil and gas, a U.S. climate envoy said Thursday.
U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Rick Duke was speaking at an Australian National University forum after meetings with Australian government officials on bilateral cooperation in transitioning to net-zero greenhouse emissions by 2050.
Duke described the Russian invasion that began six months ago as “one of the biggest geopolitical drivers at the moment” for a global shift toward renewable energy.
“What has sometimes been lost in people’s understanding of the reverberations on that front is that when you look at what countries are actually doing in response, it’s going to accelerate the energy transition,” Duke said.
“The European Union has tripled down on its efforts to deploy renewables and heat pumps and to electrify its vehicle fleet and otherwise respond to this crisis,” he added. “That’s going to take time … but the pace is quickening because of the conflict.”
Meanwhile, Australia plans to reduce its heavy reliance on solar panels manufactured in China, a Russian ally, by diversifying its trading partners as the Australian government scales up its transition to renewables.
Kushla Munro, who heads the government’s International Climate Division, said Australia was focusing on India in developing an international collaboration on the production of solar panels and green hydrogen.
Australia had also prioritized green energy technology partnerships with Japan, South Korea and the United States to avoid the supply chain constraints that have arisen through the pandemic, Munro said.
The Australian government elected in May has increased Australia’s 2030 emissions reduction target to 42% from the previous administration’s goal of 26% to 28% below 2005 levels.
The United States is aiming for a 50% to 52% reduction by the end of the decade. | https://www.wane.com/science/ap-science/ap-us-envoy-says-russian-invasion-speeds-shift-to-clean-energy/ | 2022-08-26T02:58:19Z | https://www.wane.com/science/ap-science/ap-us-envoy-says-russian-invasion-speeds-shift-to-clean-energy/ | true |

Gabrielle Perry, a 29-year-old epidemiologist in New Orleans, expects $20,000 of her $135,000 student loan debt to be wiped out under the plan announced this week by President Joe Biden. She is happy for the relief, but disappointed he isn’t fully canceling student debt that weighs especially heavy on African Americans.
For her, it’s discouraging that Biden isn’t doing more to help a constituency that played a critical role in his presidential campaign. Perry, who cares for and financially supports her disabled mother, said those obligations act as a societal tax on Black people, preventing the growth of generational wealth.
“You are ensuring that your little brothers and sisters have what they need for school,” Perry said. “You are helping your parents pay off their rent, their house. So your quote-unquote wealth doesn’t even have time to be built because you’re trying to help your family survive.”
Black borrowers on average carry about $40,000 in federal student loan debt, $10,000 more than white borrowers, according to federal education data. The disparity reflects a racial wealth gap in the U.S. — one that some advocates say the debt relief plan does not do enough to narrow.
One in four Black borrowers would see their debt cleared entirely under the administration’s plan, which cancels $10,000 in federal student loan debt for those with incomes below $125,000 a year, or households that earn less than $250,000. The plan includes an additional $10,000 in relief for Pell Grant recipients, who are more than twice as likely to be Black.
But more work needs to be done to make higher education accessible and affordable, said Wisdom Cole, national director of the NAACP Youth & College Division.
“When we think about education and higher education, fundamentally, it’s the promise of an equitable future,” Cole said. “We have so many Black graduates who go through the system, graduate and are not able to see that future because they disproportionately risk taking out loans.”
Perry faced steep challenges to complete her education. Homeless for nearly a year, she had to drop out of school and saw the interest on her loans balloon. She also faced incarceration. Eventually, she was able to get her record expunged and earned a master’s in public health from Tulane University, graduating just in time for the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic-era freeze on student loan payments, combined with raises at work, allowed Perry to achieve a sense of stability for the first time in her life. She was able to pay off her car, help her disabled mother, and start a nonprofit, the Thurman Perry Foundation, that gives college scholarships to currently or formerly incarcerated women and their daughters.
“That time with that payment pause, it didn’t just build up my life,” Perry said. “It even helped me pull my mother out of poverty. I got her into a safer place to live. It reverberated for people like me. Because I know that there are other people living worse than what I survived.”
Black students are more likely to take on debt to finance their education, and in larger amounts, in part because of the wealth gap that makes it less likely for Black families to be able to finance their children’s education.
In her first months of graduate school, before her fellowship salary kicked in, TC Headley called the university’s financial aid office to ask if there was help to cover the cost of books and supplies. Instead, the woman on the phone told her to call her parents and ask for more money.
“I can’t just call my parents for thousands of dollars,” she said. “The only other option to get this money in time was to take out a loan. I did what I had to do to be able to support myself and stay in school.”
Headley, who owes roughly $40,000 in student debt, had put off thinking about owning a home or starting a family because she was so focused on paying that off. Now, she expects half of that will be forgiven because she was a Pell grant recipient.
While white families are more likely to see a transfer of wealth from one generation to the next, the opposite is true of Black families, where children are more likely to have to support a parent once they obtain some level of financial security, said Andre M. Perry, senior fellow at the Brookings Institute.
“For many Black women, and Black people in general, many middle income people are being missed by this policy,” Andre M. Perry said. “We have done everything that we were asked to do to get ahead. Go to college, go to the best schools, we’re told. And as a result, we had to take on debt.”

Colorado mom denies plot to kidnap son from foster home
By COLLEEN SLEVIN
Associated Press
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado woman has denied accusations that she plotted with QAnon supporters to kidnap her son from his foster home denies there was ever a planned raid. Cynthia Abcug testified Thursday on the last day of her trial. She said she met backers of the conspiracy theory after reaching out for help on social media to get her son back. Abcug’s lawyer said his client may have made mistakes after her son was removed from her home, including letting a military veteran she never met before sleep on her couch to provide protection for her. But he said there was no evidence Abcug had plans to launch a raid or that she had taken any steps to try to pursue one. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/25/colorado-mom-denies-plot-to-kidnap-son-from-foster-home/ | 2022-08-26T03:31:01Z | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/25/colorado-mom-denies-plot-to-kidnap-son-from-foster-home/ | true |

Scientists have created “synthetic” mouse embryos from stem cells without a dad’s sperm or a mom’s egg or womb.
The lab-created embryos mirror a natural mouse embryo up to 8 ½ days after fertilization, containing the same structures, including one like a beating heart.
In the near term, researchers hope to use these so-called embryoids to better understand early stages of development and study mechanisms behind disease without the need for as many lab animals. The feat could also lay the foundation for creating synthetic human embryos for research in the future.
“We are undoubtedly facing a new technological revolution, still very inefficient … but with enormous potential,” said Lluís Montoliu, a research professor at the National Biotechnology Centre in Spain who is not part of the research. “It is reminiscent of such spectacular scientific advances as the birth of Dolly the sheep” and others.
A study published Thursday in the journal Nature, by Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz at the California Institute of Technology and her colleagues, was the latest to describe the synthetic mouse embryos. A similar study, by Jacob Hanna at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and his colleagues, was published earlier this month in the journal Cell. Hanna was also a coauthor on the Nature paper.
Zernicka-Goetz, an expert in stem cell biology, said one reason to study the early stages of development is to get more insight into why the majority of human pregnancies are lost at an early stage and embryos created for in vitro fertilization fail to implant and develop in up to 70% of cases. Studying natural development is difficult for many reasons, she said, including the fact that very few human embryos are donated for research and scientists face ethical constraints.
Building embryo models is an alternative way to study these issues.
To create the synthetic embryos, or “embryoids,” described in the Nature paper, scientists combined embryonic stem cells and two other types of stem cells – all from mice. They did this in the lab, using a particular type of dish that allowed the three types of cells to come together. While the embryoids they created weren’t all perfect, Zernicka-Goetz said, the best ones were “indistinguishable” from natural mouse embryos. Besides the heart-like structure, they also develop head-like structures.
”This is really the first model that allows you to study brain development in the context of the whole developing mouse embryo,” she said.
The roots of this work go back decades, and both Zernicka-Goetz and Hanna said their groups were working on this line of research for many years. Zernicka-Goetz said her group submitted its study to Nature in November.
Scientists said next steps include trying to coax the synthetic mouse embryos to develop past 8 ½ days – with the eventual goal of getting them to term, which is 20 days for a mouse.
At this point, they “struggle to go past” the 8 1/2-day mark, said Gianluca Amadei, a coauthor on the Nature paper based at the University of Cambridge. “We think that we will be able to get them over the hump, so to speak, so they can continue developing.”
The scientists expect that after about 11 days of development the embryo will fail without a placenta, but they hope researchers can someday also find a way to create a synthetic placenta. At this point, they don’t know if they will be able to get the synthetic embryos all the way to term without a mouse womb.
Researchers said they don’t see creating human versions of these synthetic embryos soon but do see it happening in time. Hanna called it “the next obvious thing.”
Other scientists have already used human stem cells to create a “blastoid, ” a structure mimicking a pre-embryo, that can serve as a research alternative to a real one.
Such work is subject to ethical concerns. For decades, a “14-day rule” on growing human embryos in the lab has guided researchers. Last year, the International Society for Stem Cell Research recommended relaxing the rule under limited circumstances.
Scientists stress that growing a baby from a synthetic human embryo is neither possible nor under consideration.
“Perspective on this report is important since, without it, the headline that a mammalian embryo has been built in vitro can lead to the thought that the same can be done with humans soon,” said developmental biologist Alfonso Martinez Arias of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Spain, whose group has developed alternative stem cell based models of animal development.
“In the future, similar experiments will be done with human cells and that, at some point, will yield similar results,” he said. “This should encourage considerations of the ethics and societal impact of these experiments before they happen.”

TUCKER CARLSON: Democrats are trying to shift blame about the COVID-19 vaccine to Trump
Tucker Carlson exposes the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine - and how Democrats are now blaming Trump
Well, they finally got Big Orange. You were starting to think it could never happen. How could it happen? Once you accused a man of racism, fascism, sexism, embezzlement, perjury, sex crimes, mental illness, treason (The last of which, by the way, is a death penalty offense, let us remind you) and then you impeach him twice on related grounds and after that, you send the FBI to his home to seize a handwritten welcome letter from Barack Obama, which turns out to be a state secret possession of which is a serious felony.
After you do all of that and they have, you wouldn't think there'd be a lot left to accuse the guy of. You'd think they'd have run out of sins, but no, it turns out there's one left and it's the big one.
The crime of all crimes, an offense so diabolical, so morally repugnant, so contrary to the laws of God and nature that once revealed to the public, Donald Trump is done forever. He will never again darken the door of American democracy. He will slink back in shame to his lair off the fifth tee to prepare for his well-deserved punishment. We won't see him again until sentencing. That's how bad this is. What, ladies and gentlemen, did Donald Trump do? We can now tell you. Donald Trump created the COVID vaccine. He did that himself and on purpose, with malice aforethought.
The vaccine is Donald Trump's doing. We learned that this week from Democrats in Congress. They announced that shocking news. An investigation by the Coronavirus Subcommittee found, as Politico put it, that the Trump administration pressured the Food and Drug Administration to authorize the first COVID-19 vaccines on an accelerated timeline. Following this?
AFRICAN SWINE FEVER VACCINE USE HALTED IN VIETNAM AFTER PIG DEATHS
An accelerated timeline. They didn't even fully test the stuff. That's not science. Donald Trump doesn't do science. So, they just handed this stuff out to people, citizens, recklessly. In the words of South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn, Donald Trump "assaulted" our nation's public health institutions with this poison, the so-called vaccine, and in doing so "undermined our nation's coronavirus response." That's what Trump did and here's the worst part. No one knew Trump was doing it.
They trusted Donald Trump. He was the president of the United States. People believed him when he said the vaccine worked, especially older people. They knew they were at risk and they wanted to believe that a shot would keep them safe. So, they took Donald Trump's word and then they took the vax, and then a lot of them got covered anyway. It's horrifying when you think about it. Here is one of Donald Trump's elderly victims.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Hey, folks, guess you heard this morning I tested positive for COVID, but have been double vaccinated, double boosted, symptoms are mild, and I really appreciate your inquires and concerns and I'm doing well. We're getting a lot of work done and I continue to get it done.
WHITE HOUSE REPORTER BLOWS UP AT KARINE JEAN-PIERRE FOR NOT TAKING QUESTIONS
Look at that man. Donald Trump's vaccine did that to him. Four shots, a human pincushion, now a desiccated husk. Before he took Donald Trump's vaccine, that man was spry, filled with vigor, and then famous for his mental acuity. Look at him now and in case you think, "Oh, maybe we're overstating the case. I mean, this is a bad video," we're going to take you now to a live shot of that same man to give you some sense of the long-term effects of Donald Trump's vaccine. Here he is speaking at this moment in the state of Maryland. Watch this.
BIDEN: Social Security into the hands of Ted Cruz and Marjorie Taylor Greene. I mean it, but it's not just Social Security. Senator Scott wants everything in the federal budget voted on de novo. Every five years it goes out of existence. That includes Medicare, veterans benefits and everything else. Then along comes Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.
Marjorie Taylor Greene controls Social Security? It doesn't make sense. The compassionate person in you feels for that man because you know what happened to him. He took Donald Trump's vaccine, which Democrats alerted us this week, wasn't properly tested. Now, your first reaction would be, "Wait a second, this seems like a revision of what I saw personally. Wasn't it Joe Biden who promoted the vaccine, who made it mandatory? Wasn't Joe Biden in charge when it became obvious the vaccine didn't work? And didn't Joe Biden's media tell us to get the shot months after Donald Trump left office?" You may remember that possibly because you remember clips like this.This is from July of last year.
WHY MONKEYPOX IS MAKING SOME COLLEGE KIDS NERVOUS RIGHT NOW
JOE SCARBOROUGH, MSNBC: If you're a schoolteacher, if you're a nurse, if you're a cop, you need to get vaccinated and if you don't, you need to look for another job.
Yeah, take the vax or you're fired. In retrospect, it's pretty obvious they were carrying water for Donald Trump in that video. Now, if you're still not convinced, you're probably a cynical person, probably have concluded the Democrats are panicked about being blamed for the single greatest public health disaster in history and they're trying to shift the blame to Donald Trump before the full truth about the vaccine comes out and it is coming out and the midterms are on the way. You may have concluded that, but we're not cynical on this show. In fact, we're relieved .
Now that Donald Trump is responsible for the vaccine, we can finally talk about the vaccine. Until now, we haven't been able to. Until now, it's been like living in a John Cheever story where the entire country is an emotionally repressed wasp family. It's 1952 and Darien and Dad has just passed out drunk at the dinner table, but nobody's allowed to mention it. We all have to pretend it's not happening. "Dad's fine. Be quiet." Over time, that level of denial is very hard to sustain. It makes you crazy, but thank God it's over now.
MARC SIEGEL ON WHAT THE MEDIA GETS RIGHT AND WRONG ABOUT ANTHONY FAUCI
Now that we can blame Donald Trump for the vaccine, we can finally tell the truth about the vaccine without being fired or attacked or thrown off the Internet. We really should have thought of this earlier because it feels good, the freedom of this. So, let's take a moment to talk about Donald Trump's vaccine and why it seems to be, among other things, dramatically raising death rates among young people.
According to data from New Zealand, the government there, for example, children who were vaccinated between the ages of 10 and 19, were more likely (not less likely) more likely to die within a month of vaccination than those who didn't take the vaccine in the same age group and it's not just the New Zealand government that has found this. This summer, a Dutch researcher called André Redert published a paper entitled "COVID-19 Vaccinations and all-cause mortality."
The research analyzed hundreds of cities and towns. What did it find? "We could not observe a mortality reducing effect of vaccination in Dutch municipalities after vaccination booster campaigns. We did find a 4-sigma significant mortality enhancing effect during the two periods of high unexplained excess mortality."
WHITE HOUSE DODGES DIRECT QUESTIONS ON WHO WILL PAY FOR MASSIVE STUDENT LOAN HANDOUT
Oh, so the data suggests, don't prove, but suggests the vaccine may be killing people. Unexplained mortality is also on the rise in many other countries—Australia, England, Wales. So why is Donald Trump's vaccine doing all of this in other countries? Well, we can't be sure, but as Alex Berenson reported on his Substack recently, the Canadian government is seeing a similar problem at huge scale.
As of this summer, people who took Donald Trump's vaccine in the Canadian province of Manitoba are roughly 50% more likely than the unvaccinated to be hospitalized or die from COVID. Again, to pause, how bad is Donald Trump's vaccine? So bad that people who take it are more likely to die of COVID. Hmm. Now we have data from more Canadian provinces, but they seem to be hiding it now. On July 28, the province of British Columbia announced it would stop reporting the number of deaths that occurred in people who have taken the COVID booster. Wow. Why is that? Don't ask. You're not allowed to. Oh, we are now because it's a Trump crime.
The charts are also missing somehow from the Internet archive, which is widely known, of course, as a front for Russian operatives working on behalf of who? Donald Trump, but we do have the most recent available data. What do those show? Well, they show that 70% of all deaths in that province occurred in people who are boosted, even though boosted individuals make up just half the province's population. Do the math on that for a minute.
Well, your first reaction might be, "Oh, well, vaccinated and boosted people tend to be older, so of course, they're dying at a greater rate. It has nothing to do with the shot," but then you look deeper. You read, for example, the Lancet article entitled "Risk of Infection, Hospitalization and Death up to nine months after a second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine" and that piece shows that people over the age of 80 have worse outcomes and by worse, we mean more hospitalizations, more deaths when they're vaccinated than when they are unvaccinated.
So, it turns out when Donald Trump told you, as he did hundreds of times, certainly you must remember this, that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated, it turned out to be exactly the opposite and we're seeing this in a lot of different places, in a lot of different data sets. In fact, as Kenji Yamamoto wrote in the Journal of Virology, "The Lancet study showed that immune function among vaccinated individuals eight months after the administration of two doses of COVID-19 vaccine was lower than that among unvaccinated individuals."
That sounds like it's hurting people's immune system in a profound way. As the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology put it after an independent study, "Vaccination introduces a profound impairment in type one interferon signaling which has diverse adverse consequences to human health." That doesn't sound good. What consequences could they be talking about?
WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS STAND TO BENEFIT FROM BIDEN STUDENT DEBT HANDOUT: WATCHDOG GROUP
Well, in July, the German government put out a Tweet stating that at least one out of every 5,000 COVID shots causes "serious side effects." One in 5,000. Really? This is a shot that was taken by hundreds of millions of people, including in this country. What effects are they actually talking about? Well, those would include decreased sperm counts. The journal Andrology reported in June that there was a 22% average drop in total sperm count in samples taken 3 to 5 months after the second Pfizer dose of the vaccine, Donald Trump's vax.
On top of that, there is heart inflammation, myocarditis, which is now suddenly famous in neighborhoods across the country because everyone seems to know someone else's son who has it. In December of last year, researchers at Oxford found that, "myocarditis risk was increased during 1 to 28 days following a third dose of the vaccine. Associations were strongest in males younger than 40 years for all vaccine types," but you knew that because you're seeing it among people you know and no one's talking about it.
We're not allowed to talk about it, but now we can because Trump did it. Researchers in Israel, meanwhile, found that vaccination increased the 42-day risk of myocarditis by a factor of three. It's a very serious heart condition, not a small finding. Now, you may have also noticed the rise in young athletes dying of heart attacks in recent months, something you're not allowed to notice, but you probably can't help yourself.
MILWAUKEE PARENTS LASH OUT AGAINST MASK MANDATE REVIVAL: 'A BUNCH OF BULLIES AND COWARDS'
For example, a 37-year-old cycling champion in Scotland called Rab Wardell just died of a heart attack two days after winning a national mountain biking championship. Can't say he was out of shape. Maybe it wasn't vax related. Have you seen that a lot before? Hmm and then there are those five doctors you may have read about in Toronto who died in the same month in July. Now, of that group of five dead physicians, there was a 27-year-old triathlete who died after a swimming competition and a 50-year-old Olympian who died after a run. So, these are not people who are sitting on the couch smoking weed and eating Doritos.

Now, we can't know why all of this happened, but the point is we're allowed to notice now, and that's significant, especially since some places are still forcing children to take the vaccine and that would include most colleges in the United States. They just announced that boosters are mandatory. In the District of Columbia, which is falling apart, the mayor has decided, she declared this today, that unvaccinated students will not be allowed in school.
They won't even get virtual learning unless they take a vaccine, Donald Trump's vaccine, that appears to be hurting a lot of people, but unless they take it, they will get no education whatsoever. Hmm. Who knew that Muriel Bowser, the resolutely partisan Democrat who runs Washington, D.C., was actually working for Donald Trump, but she appears to be. At least you know who to blame. | https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-democrats-trying-shift-blame-about-covid-19-vaccine-trump | 2022-08-26T03:38:56Z | https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-democrats-trying-shift-blame-about-covid-19-vaccine-trump | true |
The impacts of inflation are reaching dollar stores, too
Related video above: Inflation hitting back-to-school shoppers
Dollar stores, as their name suggests, offer inexpensive products for bargain-hungry shoppers. But even Dollar General and Dollar Tree, which have thrived this year as rampant inflation has helped boost sales, are starting to feel the pinch of a slowing economy.
Dollar General and Dollar Tree both reported solid increases in sales for the second quarter Thursday. But both companies raised concerns about the impact that inflation may have on future results.
Dollar Tree CEO Mike Witynski said in the company's earnings release that shoppers are being "pressured by higher costs for food, fuel, rent and more." Meanwhile, Dollar General CEO Todd Vasos described the quarter as a "period of inflation and economic uncertainty."
Dollar General seems to be holding up better than Dollar Tree. Overall sales at Dollar General jumped 9% from a year ago, compared to a 6.7% rise at Dollar Tree, which also owns the Family Dollar chain.
Dollar General didn't cut its outlook, while Dollar Tree issued weaker guidance. That's likely one of the key reasons why Dollar General shares were down just 1% Thursday morning as Dollar Tree tumbled 9%.
Dollar Tree is also dealing with some customer backlash following last year's controversial decision to raise prices, a move that spurred some consumers to derisively refer to the chain as "$1.25 Tree."
But there are cracks beneath the surface at Dollar General, too. The company said in its earnings report that apparel sales plunged more than 20% from the same period last year. Sales of seasonal and home products also were down slightly.
Although those categories make up only about 20% of Dollar General's overall revenue, they have bigger profit margins than the core "consumables" business of food, beverages and drugstore items that account for the remainder of Dollar General's sales.
Witynski acknowledged this trend as well during a conference call with analysts Thursday, saying that more of the company's customers are "gravitating to needs-based consumables, which is impacting our margin."
"Consumers continue to be burdened by levels of inflation not experienced in decades," Witynski said, also noting that "our suppliers are being hit by inflation as well."
Getting products from warehouses to stores remains a problem. Vasos said during Dollar General's analyst call that there are "ongoing supply chain pressures." He added that the company is hoping to alleviate this problem by building three new distribution centers in the U.S.
The rival dollar store chains also announced executive moves Thursday.
Dollar General is promoting chief financial officer John Garratt to president, and retain the CFO role. Dollar Tree announced it hired a new CFO, with Jeffrey Davis taking over for Kevin Wampler. Davis previously worked at Walmart, J.C. Penney, Olive Garden owner Darden and Qurate, the parent company of HSN and QVC.
Wampler will stay on as an advisor through April. Dollar Tree had previously announced in June that he would be stepping down as CFO after activist investor Mantle Ridge pressed Dollar Tree for board and management changes.
Despite continued sales momentum at dollar stores, there are growing concerns about the health of the U.S. consumer. Although Walmart recently posted better than expected results, the retail giant had warned in late July that it was cutting its outlook for the second quarter and rest of the year.
Walmart rival Target recently reported similarly disappointing results. And two other retailers issued poor guidance Thursday morning: apparel retailers Abercrombie & Fitch and Burlington Stores. | https://www.4029tv.com/article/dollar-stores-inflation/40991552 | 2022-08-26T03:39:06Z | https://www.4029tv.com/article/dollar-stores-inflation/40991552 | true |
Bulgaria: Two Policemen Died in Burgas while Trying to Stop a Bus with Migrants (UPDATED)
Two policemen died this morning in Burgas when they tried to stop a bus with illegal migrants.
Shortly before 05:00 a.m. this morning, the bus did not stop consecutively at two "Border Police" checkpoints, explained Stanimir Stanev, Deputy Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The bus was carrying 47 migrants. In the area of the "Trapezitsa" roundabout, it entered the bicycle lane, ran over the police car, the bus stop, and a chemical toilet.
Police, fire and ambulance teams are on the scene. Investigative actions are pending, which will be carried out by employees of the National Investigation Service and the Prosecutor's Office.
According to initial information, no migrants were injured. Active actions have been taken by the Ministry of Internal Affairs along the border, the forces of the Bulgarian army have been involved, as well as drones, Stanev specified.
Acting Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Demerdzhiev traveled to the crash site.
The district prosecutor of Burgas, Georgi Chinev, defined the actions of the bus driver with migrants as a "conscious purposeful act". According to Chinev, in this case we cannot speak of an act of carelessness.
“The bus used to transport illegal migrants was scrapped and has no reason to be on the country's roads”. This was stated by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Ivan Demerdzhiev.
The bus is owned by a company from Haskovo, which bought it from a company from Kardzhali. Demerdzhiev specified that it has already been clarified how it was acquired. The owner who gave it to the two people who transported the migrants was detained.
The bus was put up for sale more than a month ago.
The ad describes it as being in excellent technical condition, with only a few fogged side windows.
One Syrian with the status of humanitarian protection in our country has been detained, and another is wanted for the accident between a police patrol car and a bus carrying migrants, in which two policemen died.
Acting Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Demerdzhiev announced that Border Police officers are also responsible for what happened. This is the reason why he requested the resignation of its deputy director Deyan Mollov.
"The main reason for this incident is the insufficiently precise execution of the tasks by the Border Police because it was not the task of the police in Burgas to stop the bus. This should have been done by the Border Police before that. So I expect by the end of the day Mr. Mollov's resignation. I fervently hope that he will do this himself and evaluate the reasons," Demerdzhiev pointed out.
Shortly before, the minister announced that the smugglers had declared war on the state and it would respond with all its might. Demerdzhiev vowed to do his best to see the operation through.
Tomorrow in Burgas will be a day of mourning in memory of the dead policemen, said the mayor of Burgas, Dimitar Nikolov, who visited the scene of the tragedy.

Asian shares rose on Friday, buoyed by news of possible progress for China and the United States to hammer out an audit deal, while traders anxiously awaited a speech from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on rate-hike path later in the day.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan gained 0.6% in early Asia trade, driven by Chinese tech shares listed in Hong Kong that surged 1.3%. Hong Kong shares of Alibaba were up 4%.
That helped the Asian index eke out a 0.4% gain for the week.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Washington and Beijing are nearing an agreement that allows American accounting regulators to travel to Hong Kong to inspect audit records of US-listed Chinese companies.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 0.7%, Japan's Nikkei advanced 0.9%, while South Korea gained 0.5%.
Overnight on Wall Street, stocks rose while US Treasury yields slipped, as investors digested comments from Fed officials who continued hammering the point they will drive rates up and keep them there until inflation has been squeezed from the economy.
The S&P 500 climbed 1.4% and the Nasdaq gained 1.67%, lifted by gains in Nvidia and other technology-related stock.
"So it is a fair bet that the Powell speech will take a similar turn today," said Robert Carnell, regional head of Research, Asia-Pacific, at ING.
"If so, the most likely market reaction would be a rise in yields at both the front and back of the yield curve, a sell-off in equities and dollar strength as markets seem to have been positioning themselves for a more supportive set of comments."
Investors have pared back expectations the Fed could tilt to a slower pace of rate hikes as US inflation remains at 8.5% on an annual basis, well above the Fed's 2% target. But Powell's speech due on Friday will be scrutinised for any indication that an economic slowdown might alter the Fed's strategy.
Interest rate futures now imply a 60% chance of a 75 bp Fed hike in September .
"The experience of Jackson Hole 2021 will make the Fed Chair cautious in making the same error twice. That itself argues against his messaging looking too far forward, or, erring on the dovish side," said Alan Ruskin, macro strategist at Deutsche Bank.
"Markets have however largely taken this on board, which risks a small, short-lived 'buy the rumour, sell the fact' technical bond rally, sell the USD, and relief equity trade."
In the currency markets, the dollar was little changed against a basket of major currencies. The commodity-exposed Australian and New Zealand dollars fell 0.4% versus the greenback after a strong rebound in the previous day.
The yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes were up slightly to 3.0425%, compared with its US close of 3.024% the previous day.
The two-year yield , which rises with traders' expectations of higher Fed fund rates, touched 3.3803%, compared with a US close of 3.374%.
Oil prices recovered some ground on Friday after slumping by about $2 a barrel in the previous session on the possible return of sanctioned Iranian oil exports and on worries from rising US interest rates.
Brent crude rose 0.5% in early Asia trade to $99.87 per barrel and US crude was up by a similar margin to $96.01 a barrel.
Gold was slightly lower. Spot gold was traded at $1755.4698 per ounce. | https://www.tbsnews.net/world/global-economy/asian-shares-rise-hopes-audit-deal-boost-china-tech-484070 | 2022-08-26T03:45:59Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/world/global-economy/asian-shares-rise-hopes-audit-deal-boost-china-tech-484070 | true |

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva pledged Thursday night to renegotiate household debts of Brazilians if he wins October's election, making another promise seeking to lure support from tens of millions experiencing hardship.
The announcement came a day after U.S. President Joe Biden announced that some Americans will receive up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt forgiveness. Many Brazilians are eager for relief at a time when inflation is running at nearly 10% and the poor are struggling to make ends meet.
“We have almost 70% of Brazilian families in debt and the vast majority are (headed by) women,” da Silva said in a prime-time interview on the television network Globo. “You can be sure that we will negotiate with the private sector and the financial system.”
The same program interviewed the incumbent, Jair Bolsonaro, on Aug 22.
Da Silva has already hinted that if voters return him to the job he held in 2003-2010, he likely would keep in place the sharp boost to social welfare payments approved recently. Those increases, scheduled to expire at year's end, are part of Bolsonaro’s efforts to bolster his reelection bid. Whoever wins the October vote will assume office in January.
The leftist da Silva, who is leading the far-right Bolsonaro in opinion polls, also criticized the incumbent for seeking political support by allowing huge chunks of public funds to be used by lawmakers at their discretion as part of what is known as the “secret budget.”
“Bolsonaro doesn’t command anything, Congress is holding him hostage. He doesn’t even control the budget,” da Silva said.
"Arthur Lira is in charge. Ministers call him, not Boslonaro,” he added, referring to the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies.
Da Silva also acknowledged for the first time that errors were made and corruption occurred during his own administration and that of his successor, Dilma Rousseff. Both are members of the leftist Workers' Party.
"You can’t say there was no corruption if people confessed,” da Silva said when asked about massive corruption scandals under Workers' Party governments. But he attributed such transgressions to individuals rather than an orchestrated scheme of his party.
Da Silva himself was found guilty of corruption and money laundering and spent over a year in jail, though the Supreme Court later annulled the convictions, paving the way for his presidential run this year. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
In the 2018 presidential race, Bolsonaro placed the fight against corruption, then symbolized by the Workers' Party and an imprisoned da Silva, at the heart of his campaign. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Brazil-s-Lula-wants-to-renegotiate-loans-if-17399210.php | 2022-08-26T03:49:39Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Brazil-s-Lula-wants-to-renegotiate-loans-if-17399210.php | true |
DENVER, Colorado (KDVR) — Denver’s police chief said he’s “disappointed” that Denver South High School showed a video to its students instructing them to avoid calling police when witnessing certain crimes.
In a letter to parents, principal Rachel Goss wrote that showing the video, titled “Don’t be a Bystander: 6 Tips for Responding to Racist Attacks,” was meant “to provide empowerment for people who may witness these types of attacks.”
However, a spokesman for Denver Public Schools confirmed that the video was not fully vetted before being shown to the student body during an assembly Tuesday morning. DPS also said the district does not subscribe to some of the narratives within the material.
One of the six tips is to “avoid the police” because “police have been trained to see people of color, gender non-conforming folks and muslims as criminals, they often treat victims as perpetrators of violence.”
“That training doesn’t exist. That training doesn’t exist in this department. It doesn’t exist in any police training that I’m aware of in this state or this country,” Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen said.
The video was produced by a group of academics and activists in New York at the Barnard Center for Research on Women. It is unclear what audience it is intended for or if the center is aware its material is being shown to public school students.
Pazen: Police go ‘above and beyond’ to address bias crimes
Pazen said the “rhetoric” in the video does not reflect the realities in Denver.
“We’ve gone out of our way, above and beyond to really address the harm that is created by bias-motivated incidents. And to have all of that thrown out the window with a video produced by a group that is self-described abolitionists makes no sense to me,” he said.
The Denver Police Department maintains a specialized group of personnel within its bias-motivated crimes unit, including civilians tasked with community engagement. The department also falls under the Office of the Independent Monitor, which holds it and its officers accountable to fair policing practices.
“We can’t tolerate bias-motivated crimes and how we address them, how we prevent them, is to hold individuals accountable that engage in bias-motivated crimes,” Pazen said. “Victims of crimes deserve to have their cases fully investigated and deserve to be supported with all of the resources available to them.”
Pazen suggests that if a student witnesses a bias-motivated crime but does not feel comfortable calling police, the student should talk to a trusted adult or report the incident anonymously to Colorado’s Safe2Tell program. | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/denver-students-told-police-are-trained-to-see-minorities-as-threat/ | 2022-08-26T03:53:35Z | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/denver-students-told-police-are-trained-to-see-minorities-as-threat/ | true |

Bosses at Asda have said they are determined to “keep grocery bills in check” as many customers continue to struggle with the rising cost of living.
It comes as the supermarket chain reported a slowdown in the rate its sales declined over the past quarter.
Asda revealed that sales slipped by 1.9% over the three months to June, compared with the same period last year.
It came after like-for-like sales excluding fuel plunged 9.2% over the first three months of the year, as consumers tightened their belts.
The retailer said it has benefited from strong sales of its new Just Essentials value range, having accelerated its launch of the range in response to ratcheting pressure on household finances.
Asda said its sales improvement has continued into the third quarter, which it said has also been driven by strong sales in core categories such as meat, fish and poultry.
The retailer has also increased investment in pricing by expanding its Dropped & Locked campaign, where it has frozen the price of 250 products for the rest of 2022.
Asda was bought last year by the billionaire Issa brothers and private equity backers TDR Capital in a £6.6 billion deal.
Mohsin Issa, Asda co-owner, said: “Every week millions of customers visit our stores or shop with us online and we know many of them are struggling with rising living costs that show no sign of easing.
“We are determined to do all we can to support these customers during these tough times by keeping their grocery bills in check while delivering added value through initiatives such as Dropped & Locked and the Kids Eat for £1 offer in Asda cafes.”
Mr Issa added: “After a series of successful regional trials, we are delighted to have expanded Asda Rewards to all our stores – meaning customers across the UK can now start building their cash pot.
“Over two million customers have already downloaded the app, with many already starting to see the benefit during these very challenging times.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/business-environment/business/3630130/asda-to-keep-grocery-bills-in-check-as-demand-surges-for-value-products/ | 2022-08-26T04:17:45Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/business-environment/business/3630130/asda-to-keep-grocery-bills-in-check-as-demand-surges-for-value-products/ | true |

Trump search redacted affidavit set to be released
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is set to release Friday a heavily blacked out document explaining the justification for an FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate earlier this month, when agents removed top secret government records and other classified documents.
The document, expected by noon, is likely to offer at least some new details about an ongoing criminal investigation that has brought fresh legal peril for Trump just as he lays the groundwork for another presidential run. Though Justice Department officials are expected to have removed sensitive details about witnesses, and the scope and direction of the probe, the affidavit may offer the fullest explanation yet about the events leading up to the Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago.
The document being released is the redacted form of an affidavit, or sworn statement, that the FBI submitted to a judge so it could obtain a warrant to search Trump’s property. Affidavits typically contain vital information about an investigation, with agents spelling out to a judge the justification for why they want to search a particular property and why they believe they’re likely to find evidence of a potential crime there. But affidavits routinely remain sealed during pending investigations, making the judge’s decision to reveal portions of it all the more striking.
In an acknowledgment of the extraordinary public interest in the investigation, U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart on Thursday ordered the department by Friday to make public a redacted version of the affidavit. The directive came hours after federal law enforcement officials submitted under seal the portions of the affidavit that they want to keep secret as their investigation moves forward.
The redactions proposed by the Justice Department are likely to be extensive given the sensitivity of the investigation, lessening the likelihood that the document will offer a comprehensive look at the basis for the unprecedented search or significant insights about the direction of the probe. Yet even a redacted affidavit can contain at least some fresh revelations about the investigation, and is likely to help explain why federal agents who had tried for months to recover sensitive government records from Mar-a-Lago ultimately felt compelled to obtain a search warrant.
Documents already made public show the FBI retrieved from the property 11 sets of classified documents, including information marked at the top secret level. They also show that federal agents are investigating potential violations of three different federal laws, including one that governs gathering, transmitting or losing defense information under the Espionage Act. The other statutes address the concealment, mutilation or removal of records and the destruction, alteration or falsification of records in federal investigations.
It’s possible that the affidavit, particularly in its unredacted form, could shed light on key unanswered questions, including why sensitive presidential documents — classified documents, among them — were transported to Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House and why Trump and his representatives did not supply the entire tranche of material to the National Archives and Records Administration despite repeated entreaties.
It could also offer additional details on the back-and-forth between Trump and the FBI, including a subpoena for documents that was issued last spring, as well as a June visit by FBI and Justice Department officials to assess how the materials were being stored.
The Justice Department had earlier contested arguments by media organizations to make any portion of the affidavit public, saying the disclosure could contain private information about witnesses and about investigative tactics. But Reinhart, acknowledging the extraordinary public interest in the investigation, said last week that he was disinclined to keep the entire document sealed and told federal officials to submit to him in private the redactions it wanted to make.
In his order Thursday, Reinhart said the department had made compelling arguments to leave sealed broad swaths of the document that, if disclosed, would reveal grand jury information; the identities of witnesses and “uncharged parties”; and details about the investigation’s “strategy, direction, scope, sources and methods.”
But he also said he was satisfied “that the Government has met its burden of showing that its proposed redactions are narrowly tailored to serve the Government’s legitimate interest in the integrity of the ongoing investigation and are the least onerous alternative to sealing the entire Affidavit.”

Cricket star Mitchell Johnson slams the ABC after being FORCED to quit his job because he is on the wrong side of the broadcaster's 'moral compass'
- Retired test great Mitchell Johnson had to quit commentary role with the ABC
- As Johnson is also employed by Bet Nation, he had to choose between two roles
- A frustrated Johnson questioned ABC's 'moral compass', may work for Triple M
Australian cricket legend Mitchell Johnson has slammed the ABC after he was forced to quit his radio position when he was blindsided by the news he'd broken one of the national broadcaster's strict rules.
The former fast bowler, 40, walked away when the ABC told him he could not have any ongoing dealings with commercial gambling companies while he's on their books.
Johnson was due to provide his insight on the airwaves for 'Aunty' when Australia take on Zimbabwe in three one-day internationals, starting on Sunday in Townsville.
Johnson, who snared 313 test wickets in a glittering career, is also employed by gambling agency Bet Nation.
He believes he is on the wrong side of the ABC's 'moral compass'.
'I have really enjoyed working with the team over recent seasons and was looking forward to doing it again,' Johnson told the ABC.
Australian cricket legend Mitchell Johnson (right) has slammed the ABC after he was forced to quit his radio role with the national broadcaster due to his employment elsewhere with Bet Nation
Johnson believes he is on the wrong side of the ABC's 'moral compass' and is considering jumping ship to rivals Triple M
'There seems to be a lot of hypocrisy that goes with this rule. I don't understand and you start to wonder about what you can and can't say if you are calling for them [the ABC].
'It's blown me away a little bit ... do we have to make sure we have to align with the ABC's moral compass? There's nothing I can do about it … that's the rule and I guess I'm not going to work with them.'
Gambling and leading Australian sporting codes go hand in hand.
Cricket Australia has been in partnership with Bet365 for a decade and has close to 30 'approved betting providers'.
The AFL is closely aligned with Sportsbet, as are numerous NRL clubs.
Johnson told The Australian he found it odd that the Australian government, who fund the public broadcaster, raises a significant amount of its revenue from taxes on gambling - yet he was forbidden to work for the ABC due to his conflicting Bet Nation deal, which expires in November.
He is now believed to be weighing up an offer to work with Triple M on its cricket coverage.
Johnson's management confirmed they received a call from the ABC and were informed there was a 'problem.'
'When we explained the policy, Mitch was extremely disappointed,' his manager Tony Box said.
'He felt there was a clear double standard in that individuals are being punished yet it's still OK for the sports themselves and the ABC to be funded via sponsorship or tax revenue from the same industry.
'He loves doing radio and loved working with the team. He was clear in his instructions not to pursue more opportunities with the ABC with this policy in place.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/article-11147745/Cricketer-Mitchell-Johnson-slams-ABC-FORCED-quit-job-moral-compass.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-26T04:24:27Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/article-11147745/Cricketer-Mitchell-Johnson-slams-ABC-FORCED-quit-job-moral-compass.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
Shaquille O'Neal gets into a dance-off with Aussie comedians The Inspired Unemployed and reveals his favourite Australian song - but he can't get the words right
- Shaq is on a speaking tour of Australia, his first visit down under in 20 years
- He has made a number of public appearances and appeared in viral videos
- The latest appeared on TikTok with online comedians The Inspired Unemployed
- He also puzzled NRL great Matty Johns with an odd rendition of an Aussie classic
You've got to give it to former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal for embracing and adapting to Aussie culture faster than you can say crikey.
The latest viral video from the 7'2'' cult icon's tour of Australia has seen him dancing and grooving with online comedians The Inspired Unemployed on TikTok.
In a clip titled 'Funny the people you run into on a walk' the big man dances to an original track written by TIU while the comedians act as his back-up dancers.
The video has been viewed over 133,000 times in just 16 hours with Aussies loving seeing Shaq dancing while flanked by dancers wearing Akubra hats and tasselled shirts.
'What did you do today? oh just jazz hands with Shaq nbd,' one viewer commented.
'Shaq is one my fav humans on the planet ..he's legit an amazing man,' posted another.
'Shaq is like the only American that fits in to Australia culture so well,' said yet another.
Shaq grooving with The Inspired Employed. The former NBA star really got into the action
The Inspired Unemployed started when Kiama tradies Jack Steele and Matt Ford started comedic skits on social media platform Instagram.
Their skits were so well received that their Instagram followers surged to 120,000 in just 10 months, allowing the duo to quit their jobs.
They have since graced the cover of GQ magazine, signed a fashion deal with Italian luxury brand Fendi and have worked with big names in sport including Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist and Brett Lee.
Their videos include skits on life being a tradie, mocking stay-at-home cultures adopted during Covid lockdowns and dance routines whenever and wherever possible.
DJ Diesel (aka NBA legend Shaq) performs at 'Let's Be Friends 2018'at Avalon Hollywood
Shaq is doing everything he can to fit as much of the Aussie experience into his itinerary as possible during his first trip down under in 20 years.
He also took the time this week to sit down with Aussie sporting icons Matty Johns and Jonathan Brown, revealing his favourite Aussie song.
He tried to inspire a sing-a-long of Men At Work's iconic hit Down Under, but couldn't quite stick the landing.
'Can I say, can I say,' he sang to a puzzled-looking Johns.
'I think you've got the the words wrong,' Johns said.
'When I can, I cannot say, no more,' Shaw persisted, adding some finger clicking for good measure.
'You sure they are the words?' Johns added.
Johns does the hands challenge with Shaq and comes up well short against his giant mitts
By then Shaq was lost in his own version of Down Under, including an a cappella guitar solo that came closer to the original song than his lyrics did.
Shaq also promised he would drop the banger into his DJ sets as DJ Diesel in Sydney and Melbourne. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nba/article-11147787/Shaquille-ONeal-dances-Inspired-Unemployed-names-favourite-Australian-song.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-26T04:24:28Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nba/article-11147787/Shaquille-ONeal-dances-Inspired-Unemployed-names-favourite-Australian-song.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
Police investigating the shooting of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel in Liverpool have warned her killer: “We will not rest until we find you and we will find you.”
Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Kameen, head of investigations at Merseyside Police, said the force was pursuing a “number of very positive lines of enquiry” following the murder on Monday.
He said that it was unclear if the gunman had fled overseas and added “we have had a number of names provided to us”.
And, he warned: “My message to him remains the same – we will not rest until we find you and we will find you.”
Convicted burglar Joseph Nee, 35, from the Dovecot area of Liverpool, has been named as the intended target of the shooting that also left Olivia’s mother wounded.
He forced his way in to her family home while trying to flee a masked gunman, and while the little girl lay dying, Nee, who was also shot, was taken to hospital by his friends in a black Audi.
Mr Kameen said detectives were speaking to a man who was with Nee at the time of the shooting.
He also said the driver of the Audi had been found and spoken to by police.
Police have refused to publicly identify Nee, but previously said a 35-year-old man injured in the shooting would be recalled to prison for breaching the terms of his release.
Mr Kameen said the man remained in hospital for treatment.
He said: “Merseyside Police, working with its partners, have caused that male’s licence to be revoked.
“He’ll be returned to prison once his treatment has been finalised.”
Olivia was at home with her two older siblings when her mother Cheryl Korbel opened the door after hearing gunshots outside.
Ms Korbel, 46, was shot in the wrist as she tried to close the door on the gunman while Olivia stood behind her.
The gunman, who was wearing a black padded jacket, a black balaclava with a peak, dark trousers and black gloves, had fired shots at two men walking in Kingsheath Avenue, causing them to flee.
Tributes including flowers and teddies have been left near the scene of the shooting amid shock at Olivia’s death.
She went to St Margaret Mary’s Catholic Junior School in Huyton, where she was thought of as a kind-hearted, helpful and happy little girl, according to her headteacher Rebecca Wilkinson.
Mr Kameen urged the public to continue sending in information about her killing, adding: “I am incredibly grateful for the sheer levels and volume of information that we have received so far.
“This level of engagement, this level of cooperation, and this level of working together simply must continue.”
Olivia’s death came 15 years after 11-year-old Rhys Jones was shot dead on his way home from football practice in Croxteth, Liverpool.
It was also one of three fatal shootings in the area in the space of a week.
Two people have been arrested following the fatal shooting of council worker Ashley Dale in Old Swan, Liverpool, on Sunday.
The 28-year-old, who worked in the environmental health team at Knowsley Council, was found fatally wounded in the back garden of a house. It is believed that Ms Dale was not the intended victim.

A plumber has been jailed for life over the murder of a Deliveroo moped rider in a road rage attack captured on shocking CCTV footage.
Nathan Smith, 28, swung out with a knife and stabbed part-time delivery moped rider Takieddine Boudhane, 30, on the evening of January 3, 2020 after an incident in Finsbury Park, north London.
He went on the run the day after the murder, leaving Mr Boudhane’s family to endure 17 months of “torment” as he refused to accept responsibility before being forced to face a jury trial, the Old Bailey heard.
Mr Boudhane’s father, Said, also died before the trial and did not live to see Smith jailed for life on Thursday and told he must serve at least 21 years in prison.
Judge Mark Lucraft QC, sentencing, said Smith, of Archway, north London, had been “aggressive throughout” the attack and had swung at his victim at least five times.
The attack happened in front of members of the public, including a witness who was “clearly alarmed” by what she saw.
Smith was not working as a plumber of the night of the attack, and he had no lawful or legitimate reason to be carrying a knife.
The judge also said Smith had taken “positive steps” to dispose of evidence in order to try to hide his involvement, before going on the run and fleeing abroad.
Mr Boudhane’s mother, Saide, said the family’s lives had been “changed forever” as Smith acted in “pure anger” in response to a “minor road offence”.
The plan in the future had been for her hardworking-son to return to live with her in Algeria, but this will not happen and “he was not there to comfort me on the death of his father”, she said in her victim impact statement.
She added: “When the defendant acted in pure anger that night, he did not just kill my son, he killed my whole family. I hope that no family will have to go through this again.”
She said: “My son, brother, uncle and nephew Taki was taken from us and our lives will not be the same.”
She added: “Whilst my son was still lying in the street, this man had already started planning his escape from the country.
“He would not accept responsibility for taking Taki’s life and as a result of this my family had to endure another 17 months of questioning how he was taken from us.”
She said this was a time when they were left “in limbo”, and endured “17 months of not understanding what was happening and who was responsible”.
She added that “this man continued to torment my family by refusing to accept responsibility”, and forced them to endure a jury trial where my son got to watch his brother’s murder “frame by frame”.
She also noted: “Not once did he say he was sorry for what he had done, only that he had suffered PTSD while he was on the run.”
Smith was in a white VW Caddy van when moped rider Mr Boudhane had made a right turn, before the fatal confrontation.
Mr Boudhane, a chef, had become upset at the manoeuvre and words were exchanged, prosecutor Julian Evans QC had told jurors.
The situation escalated as Smith emerged from his van in Charteris Road with a knife in hand.
Smith went “on the attack” and Mr Boudhane used his crash helmet to ward him off.
Even when the incident appeared to end, Smith was “simply not prepared to let things rest there”, Mr Evans said.
Describing CCTV footage of the incident, the prosecutor said: “As Smith ran towards him, Takieddine swung his crash helmet towards Smith. This action, again say the prosecution, was defensive.
“As Smith stepped on to the pavement, he ducked below the swinging crash helmet, and swung his knife twice, in quick succession, towards Takieddine’s upper body.
“It is the prosecution’s case that one of those two rapid blows with the knife, each delivered with force, entered Takieddine’s chest.”
Despite suffering a 7.5cm wound, Mr Boudhane ran after Smith and hit the side of the van with his crash helmet as he drove off, the court heard.
Mr Boudhane then collapsed on the ground. Despite the efforts of medics at the scene, he died at 7.42pm.
Meanwhile, Smith drove home and said nothing to his family about what had happened, jurors were told.
The next day, he took a flight from Luton airport to Austria using his brother’s passport and bank card.
When police searched for him at his parents’ address, the defendant’s father showed them a video believed to be from his son featuring views of lakes and mountains.
Police went on to recover Smith’s van and found bloodstains matching the victim’s DNA.
In February 2020, an arrest warrant was issued for Smith, who returned to the UK after 17 months on the run in Europe.
On June 3 2021, he travelled back to the UK from Lisbon, accompanied by British officers.
During his trial, Smith, claimed he had acted “defensively” after the victim produced a screwdriver.
He told jurors: “He swung for me, I swung back. I was not angry. I was scared at this point.”
The court heard that Smith, who has since expressed remorse over the killing, has previous convictions including possession of a prohibited weapon, offences of supplying class A drugs, possession of class A drugs with intent to supply and cannabis possession.
After sentencing, Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, who described the killing as a “senseless murder”, said: “Smith is clearly an extremely dangerous individual and we are pleased he is now off our streets, unable to cause further harm.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3629089/plumber-jailed-for-life-over-road-rage-killing-of-deliveroo-moped-rider/ | 2022-08-26T04:27:33Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3629089/plumber-jailed-for-life-over-road-rage-killing-of-deliveroo-moped-rider/ | false |
Dear Annie: I am part of a cooking club that meets the second Tuesday of each month. Each member buys food and we cook a recipe chosen by the host. There are 15 members. Each has to host once every 15 months. We are all females in our 50s or 60s.
There’s a handful of members who always attend and a larger group that rarely (like never) attend. The ones that attend would like to get rid of the ones that never attend.
Annie, how do we diplomatically get rid of the non-attendees? We’ve tried asking in email and face to face if they want to be a part of the group and they always enthusiastically assure us that they do, but still they do not RSVP, or they RSVP with a yes and then don’t come.
It’s very annoying, and we are just ready to drop them. For what it’s worth, these ladies do host when it’s their turn. — Bakers’ Dozen
People are also reading…
Dear Bakers’ Dozen: The key ingredient here is communication: Communicate to these women the concrete ways in which their spotty attendance impacts the rest of the club.
For example, maybe it makes it impossible for the month’s hostess to anticipate how many stations to set up; or maybe it means those who do show up need to bring more ingredients, and costs go up. Write out an email explaining these factors.
Then say something along the lines of, “For these reasons, we’re asking if everyone can commit to coming to 10 meetings per year, and RSVP for each meeting a week in advance,” adjusting those specifics to whatever is acceptable to your club.
There’s a good chance some of these women had never thought through the inconvenience they’d caused and, now that they’re aware, will make amend their behavior.
Dear Annie: My husband reads your column every day, so I thought you could address this issue. He is retired but doesn’t have much interest in any hobbies. We’ve had many discussions on things he can do, including volunteering. Nothing seems to motivate him.
He has started drinking daily at the neighborhood bar with the other retired guys. It is interfering with any plans we’ve made. Talking about it only causes more arguments and problems. I’m spending more time with my gal pals, which also adds to the problem. This should be the best time of our lives, not the worst. Help! — Worried Wife
Dear Worried: You can’t control your husband, and the more you try, the more desperate you’ll feel. I highly recommend checking out a support group such as Al-Anon (http://al-anon.org), Families Anonymous (www.familiesanonymous.org), or SMART Recovery Family & Friends (www.smartrecovery.org/family).
I know you might think, “It’s not so bad that I need to join a support group,” or that you’ll wait to attend one of these meetings if your husband’s drinking gets worse. But the fact is that there’s never been a better time to go than now. Take a chance. All of the meetings are free. You have nothing to lose and peace of mind to gain.
Dear Annie: I have been an organ donor all of my life. But now that I am 88 years old, I wonder if any of my body parts are still of use. If so, what can be utilized, please? — 88-Year-Old Organ Donor
Dear Organ Donor: You can be an organ donor at any age. According to the U.S. government’s official website for organ donation information, one of the oldest organ donors in the U.S. was a 92-year-old man whose liver saved the life of a 69-year-old woman.

Elton John and Britney Spears have collaborated for the first time, creating the slinky, club-ready single “Hold Me Closer” that sees the pop icons take old sounds and fashion something new.
The funky, piano-driven single uses John’s 1971 hit “Tiny Dancer” as the skeleton and adds elements from his songs “The One” and “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” all with Spears voice soaring and fluttering.
While John has been releasing new music in the past few years — including the 16-track 2021 album “The Lockdown Sessions” — the song represents Spear’s first new music since her 2016 album “Glory” and her first offering since the ending of her contentious conservatorship.
“She truly is an icon, one of the all-time great pop stars and she sounds amazing on this record. I love her dearly and am delighted with what we’ve created together,” John said in a statement. Spears, in her statement, told John it was an honor to be asked: ”I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to work with you and your legendary mind.”
The track is produced by Andrew Watt, who has worked with such acts as Ed Sheeran, Eddie Vedder, Ozzy Osbourne, Justin Bieber, Post Malone and Miley Cyrus.
The song begins with both stars singing the opening lyrics of “The One” — “I saw you dancing out the ocean/Running fast along the sand/A spirit born of earth and water/Fire flying from your hands.” It then seamlessly moves to ”Tiny Dancer”: “Hold me closer, tiny dancer/Count the headlights on the highway/Lay me down in sheets of linen/You had a busy day today.”
The track calls to mind last year’s hit “Cold Heart (PNAU Remix),” which melded John’s songs “Kiss the Bride,” “Rocket Man,” “Where’s the Shoorah?” and “Sacrifice” into a dance bop featuring vocals by Dua Lipa.
John and Spears first met in 2014 at an Oscar viewing party and she later tweeted her love of “Tiny Dancer,” sowing the seeds for the latest collaboration. John is in the midst of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Most Arkansas school districts start their high school football seasons this week. This will be the closest “normal” start since before the pandemic introduced regulations and potential cancelations.
“Some are playing tonight, some are playing tomorrow night,” said Randy Sandefur, North Little Rock’s football coach. “High school football’s back in the air.”
Over the past couple seasons, districts implemented regulations related to COVID-19. This included mandatory social distancing, masking, thinned-out crowds and temperature checks in certain areas. Coaches said they anticipate fuller crowds and additional excitement with COVID-19 better under control.
“Fans were a little skeptical about coming to the stadium last year because it was still hanging around,” Sandefur said.
Benton coach Brad Harris said his district has done a good job making sure cases do not unnecessarily spread, and the result has been added anticipation for a normal, successful season. He said a pep rally for the “Salt Bowl” showed that.
“We’re just really excited to get it rolling,” Harris said.
Harris said this season will be a return to normalcy for athletes.
“I know it’s been good for us,” Harris said. “We don’t have to worry about the locker room, things like that.”
Sandefur said he thinks parents and fans feel safer to attend games. That makes it more fun and memorable for players. “I think they’re a little more comfortable now,” Sandefur said. “Not to say COVID’s completely out of the way, but I think they’re comfortable coming back to the stadium.” | https://www.fox16.com/news/local-news/high-school-football-season-starts-with-fewer-regulations-fewer-covid-19-cases/ | 2022-08-26T04:40:24Z | https://www.fox16.com/news/local-news/high-school-football-season-starts-with-fewer-regulations-fewer-covid-19-cases/ | true |
SALINE – Joe Palka knew his offense needed a spark in the season opener.
Down 9-0 early in the second quarter to Hudsonville, the Saline head football coach decided to test his offense and go for it on fourth down near midfield.
The early game paid off as quarterback CJ Carr hit Garrett Baldwin for a first down, which led to a 14-yard TD run by Carr and thus gave the Hornets the spark they needed to get the offense going and grind out a 24-15 win Thursday, despite the offensive woes.
“I talked to our (defensive) coordinator at that point in time and he wasn’t confident that we were going to stop them,” Palka said after the game. “So, I just felt like we hadn’t pulled out weight offensively at that point and we needed to make a play and stay on the field.”

RELATED: Michigan high school football scores from Week 1 opening night
Though the Hornets trailed 15-14 at halftime, the fourth down conversion gave them momentum it needed to complement their defense which forced three turnovers in the second half.
“I feel like that was a big play we made in an adverse situation that gave everybody confidence,” Palka said. “It carried over at halftime. Even though the score was what it was at halftime, everybody pointed at that play and said, ‘You know what, we’re going to be all right.’”
The Hornets were all right thanks to some key plays from Baldwin, who was an impact player all over the field.
He caught an interception, blocked a punt and caught a pass that set up the game-winning touchdown run by Ryan Niethammer.
“The thing is we try to use him in spots where we don’t wear him out,” Palka said. “But it was just the flow of the game dictated that we had to have him in there. He was the guy that was going to be able to make plays. We’ve known all along what his offensive prowess could be, and he’s been a three-year starter on defense. But he never ceases to amaze me.”
In addition to Baldwin’s standout performance, the Hornets received some key contributions from its entire defense and 5-star Notre Dame QB commit Carr, who rushed for two touchdowns, despite having four turnovers in the game.
“This is a great learning experience,” Carr said. “It’s a good first game to have (against) a very strong Hudsonville team. “There’s lots of room for improvement for sure. Once again, this is a great Hudsonville team, so it’ll be good to watch film tomorrow and have a good week of practice and be ready for (Ann Arbor).”
Hudsonville was looking to gain revenge from last year’s heartbreaking loss to Saline on a goal-line stand but fell to 0-1 and dropped its season opener in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1997 and 1998.
Still, the Eagles received some encouraging play from their starting quarterback Trey Carr, who also rushed for two touchdowns and made plays to keep his team in the game.
Hudsonville will now look for its first win when it takes on Orchard Lake St. Mary’s on Friday, Oct. 2.
As for Saline, the Hornets will now turn the page to what has been one of the most competitive matchups in the area for the past few seasons when they travel to Huron to face the River Rats next Friday.
Baldwin said he’s hopeful Friday’s win will help give his squad momentum as it gears up for the showdown next week.
“We learned we can play,” he said. “We’re looking to win the SEC-Red again. Huron’s a good team, so we’re looking to bring that momentum next week and just keep on rolling.”

President Biden on Thursday likened the “MAGA” wing of the GOP to fascism, leaning into his midterm campaign strategy to paint Republicans as extreme.
“What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism,” he said at a fundraising event hosted by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in Bethesda, Md.
The White House has said Biden, while campaigning for Democrats ahead of November, will aim to paint Republicans as stewards of special interests who are pursuing an “extreme MAGA agenda that costs families,” seeking to tie them to former President Trump’s “Make American Great Again” slogan.
The event in Maryland was the first formal pre-midterm event for Biden, who is expected to fan out across the county to tout his agenda. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre previewed the president’s remarks earlier on Thursday and said he would display “the choice before Americans.”
Biden, at the event, mentioned the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, as well as the potential for Republicans to work towards overturning marriage equality or repealing the Affordable Care Act.
“This is not your father’s Republican Party. This is a different deal,” he said. “Our team has to show up and quite frankly vote, just simply vote.”
He also targeted Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), the head of the GOP’s Senate campaign arm, for his tax plan that Biden has consistently criticized. The White House has sought to tie congressional Republicans to the plan, but other lawmakers have either distanced themselves from the plan or declined to embrace it.
“Rick Scott, who heads up the ultra MAGA agenda for Republicans … he thinks everyone in America should pay taxes,” Biden said on Thursday.
Scott’s plan says that “all Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount,” which the White House has bashed as a move to require everyone to pay taxes.
The fundraising event had about 100 attendees and raised $1 million for the DNC and the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund, according to a DNC official.
Following the event, Biden attended a rally at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, Md.
Biden is expected to head to pivotal swing states in the next couple of weeks to continue his pre-midterm tour. On Tuesday, he will go to Pennsylvania for an event focused on crime prevention and then he will travel to Ohio on Sept. 9 for an event focused on American manufacturing. | https://pix11.com/hill-politics/biden-says-extreme-maga-philosophy-is-like-semi-fascism/ | 2022-08-26T04:49:02Z | https://pix11.com/hill-politics/biden-says-extreme-maga-philosophy-is-like-semi-fascism/ | false |
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — West Genesee freshman Sarah Domin became the first female in school history to play for the baseball team, and now she’s the first to take on nine jobs throughout all nine innings of a Syracuse Mets game.
Domin came up with the project through Baseball For All, a national organization that gives girls all across the country an opportunity to play baseball together. As a junior captain, she wanted to show young girls that they can participate in sports both on and off the field.
When Domin pitched the idea to Syracuse Mets General Manager Jason Smorol, he said he was game.
“We thought it was a great idea, we love the fact that she’s going to do every job here and just show there’s really no limits for women in professional sports.”
Jason Smorol, Syracuse Mets General Manager
Up first was shadowing Smorol in his duties as general manager, and then she was off to work with the fan experience team, grounds crew, concessions, marketing and social media, radio, multimedia production, the team store, and — of course — ending the night with the cleaning crew.
The project was also coupled with Women in Sports night at the Syracuse Mets, where they featured Syracuse University female athletes and coaches with sponsorships from the American Heart Association and the American Fashion Network.
“I hope that people and little girls see that they can do anything, including these male dominated jobs.”
Sarah Domin, West Genesee freshman
Domin helps to pave the way for the next generation of young girls, teaching them that the sky’s the limit. | https://www.localsyr.com/news/local-news/west-genesee-freshman-paves-way-for-young-girls-both-on-and-off-the-field-at-syracuse-mets-game/ | 2022-08-26T04:54:05Z | https://www.localsyr.com/news/local-news/west-genesee-freshman-paves-way-for-young-girls-both-on-and-off-the-field-at-syracuse-mets-game/ | true |
Japan's Nikkei tracks tech-led Wall Street gains before Powell speech
TOKYO, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average rallied on Friday, tracking tech-led Wall Street gains as market participants awaited a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell that could offer fresh clues on the path of U.S. monetary policy tightening.
The Nikkei had climbed 0.94% to 28,745.42 by the midday break, with more than three times as many stocks rising for each one that fell.
Industrials stood out as the best performing sector, followed by tech and basic materials. Energy was the only losing sector, down slightly amid a decline in crude oil prices overnight.
The broader Topix advanced 0.53% to 1,987.17.
The U.S. S&P 500 rose 1.41% on Thursday and the tech-heavy Nasdaq jumped 1.75%, led by gains in Nvidia and Amazon.
Tech stocks generally get a boost from lower bond yields, and those on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note slid the most in nearly three weeks overnight after several Fed officials were non-committal about the size of the interest rate hike they will approve at their meeting next month.
Powell will speak at the Fed's annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at 1400 GMT on Friday.
"Investor caution ahead of Jackson Hole has been priced into the market over a relatively long period of time. So, barring any unexpected bearish outcome, people are largely expecting that after the event, stocks will take a leg higher," said a market participant at a domestic securities firm.
Despite its gains on Friday, which could be the strongest since Aug. 17, the Nikkei was on track for a 0.64% weekly drop. The Topix has declined 0.37% so far in the week.
On the Nikkei, chipmaking equipment maker Tokyo Electron was the biggest mover by index points, adding 42 points to the benchmark with a 2.65% gain.
Uniqlo store operator Fast Retailing was next, contributing 33 points with a 1.68% advance.
Startup investor SoftBank Group followed, adding 20 index points with a 1.68% rise. That's after major holding Alibaba rallied following a Wall Street Journal report that the United States and China were nearing an agreement allowing American accounting regulators to travel to Hong Kong to inspect audit records of U.S.-listed Chinese companies.

New exam pattern evokes mixed feelings in Prakasam
Physical Sciences, Natural Sciences exams should be held separately, feel students
ONGOLEADVERTISEMENT

Students of some city schools are euphoric following the State government's decision to introduce a six question-paper pattern from the current academic year in place of the 11 question papers, in line with its proposal to introduce the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) system of education by 2024-25.
‘’Now, we will have a level-playing field with our CBSE counterparts. We will be able to fare better in competitive exams like JEE and NEET at the national level,” say a group of jubilant students at a school here.
In these schools, they complete the syllabus well within the first three months of the academic year and sit for model tests repeatedly from October so that even mediocre students are able to perform well in the annual examinations after the rigorous exercise. Simultaneously, the students are being prepared for JEE/Medicine on a long-term basis starting from Class VI onwards

However, the enthusiasm of these students is not shared by their counterparts in the State-run schools in rural parts of the district. The cut in the number of question papers will not automatically reduce stress. Students used to get enough time to prepare for each examination under the 11-question paper-system.
“It was because of the so-called education sector reforms introduced by the State government that the pass percentage was poor during the last academic year,” opined some students at a government school in Kothapatnam. Thanks to COVID-19, these students have missed two precious academic years and were promoted to higher classes without obtaining the required knowledge. They will find the going tough with the introduction of the six-paper examination system.
“Syllabus will continue to be extensive. We do not expect any reduction in syllabus in the wake of reduction in the number of question papers,” they lament in a conversation with The Hindu.
Clubbing of the Physical Sciences (PS) and Natural Sciences (NS) by the government will lead to confusion as the answer sheets will be distributed separately, feels B. Varadhan, a schoolteacher at a government school at Kothapatnam. Moreover, it will be tedious for the students. Earlier, PS and NS question papers used to be for 50 marks each and the students were given two hours and 45 minutes to answer them. Now, both the question papers for 100 marks will have to be answered in three hours and 50 minutes.
In the 11-question paper system, if a student performs unsatisfactorily in Mathematics first paper, they can make up for it in the second Mathematics paper. Now, this will not be possible, observes a functionary of the Andhra Pradesh Teachers Association (APTF). NS and PS exams should be held separately and holidays should be given between each examination to help students prepare well, they feel.
Meanwhile, a member of the Andhra Pradesh School Education Monitoring and Regulatory Commission explains that the change in examination pattern is with a view to assess students' understanding, reading and interpretation skills and writing ability and avoid rote learning.

To the Editor,
A recent article in the Graphic (and two subsequent letters to the editor) addressed the case of Commonwealth v. Gary Sexton. I have firsthand knowledge of the matter and am concerned about the way it is being presented in the paper.
To the Editor,
A recent article in the Graphic (and two subsequent letters to the editor) addressed the case of Commonwealth v. Gary Sexton. I have firsthand knowledge of the matter and am concerned about the way it is being presented in the paper.
Mr. Sexton was indicted under our prior Commonwealth’s Attorney, Gordie Shaw, for multiple sex offenses (including sodomy against children less than 12 years old). He was facing life in prison. His criminal acts had occurred over two decades before. Owing to the Commonwealth’s refusal to offer a lenient plea deal (and the need to investigate an out-of-state incident), the case could not be easily or quickly resolved.
Along with Victim’s Advocate Debbie Birdwhistell, I discussed the case at length with both of Mr. Sexton’s victims. Their contact information was kept in the case file, and the case file, pursuant to office policy, was kept in the same cabinet with all other active Scott County cases. Furthermore, Mr. Sexton’s case was regularly reviewed by the judge in open court and it remained an active case on the Second Division criminal docket from day one.
Before leaving the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office in December 2018, I had scheduled Mr. Sexton’s case for a three-day trial to begin on June 17, 2019. On May 3, 2019, the newly-elected Commonwealth’s Attorney, Sharon Muse Johnson, and/or a representative of her office appeared in court before the judge on Ms. Sexton’s case. The upcoming trial was cancelled. It then took Ms. Muse Johnson and her assistant Rob Johnson (to whom she is married) about three additional years to resolve Mr. Sexton’s case. In 2022, Mr. Sexton was given a mere slap on the wrist, five years probated along with twelve months in the county jail.
The sentence Mr. Sexton received is in no way commiserate with the heinous crimes he committed nor does it accurately reflect the strength of the Commonwealth’s case. In less than a year Mr. Sexton will be back on the streets.

Several consumers are suing Whole Foods, claiming traces of antibiotics were found in their beef products labeled antibiotic-free, according to a lawsuit filed in California this week.
Whole Foods uses the slogan, "Our Meat: No Antibiotics, Ever" in its marketing materials, such as on packaging, signs in the store and on its parent website, Amazon.
But one of the plaintiffs, Farm Forward, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending factory farming, said it did its own testing in 2021 and 2022 and found traces of monensin sodium, a growth antibiotic, in one sample of a Whole Foods beef product, and fenbendazole, an antiparasitic, in five Whole Foods beef products.
The organization said it shared its findings with the CEO of Whole Foods, but received no response. The organization also alleges it emailed a Whole Foods executive in 2017 suggesting a testing method to verify the supermarket's antibiotic-free claims, but were told "the repercussions for having a positive result were beyond ridiculous."
A spokesperson for Whole Foods said the company does not comment on pending litigation.
The lawsuit also claims Whole Foods financially exploited its customers by charging significantly more for its meat products compared to competitors, under the guise that their products are healthier.
"Consumer Plaintiffs would not have purchased Beef Products, or would not have paid the prices they did, had they had known the truth that cattle used in the Products were raised with antibiotics," the complaint says.
Some of Whole Foods' cattle are sourced from the Global Animal Partnership (GAP) Animal Welfare Certified program. A study published on Science.org in April found that in an independent lab test, 26% of these cattle tested positive for antibiotics.
A Whole Foods spokesperson told Consumer Reports at the time: "We have extensively reviewed the information made available to us and have no reason to believe that the cattle tested in this study ended up in products in our stores. We take compliance very seriously and never hesitate to act if a supplier has failed to meet our rigorous quality standards."

Insult to injury: Father-of-three left with a ‘shell of a house’ after collapse of a home building giant now discovers rubbish has been dumped out the front by the skip bin contractors
- Father-of-three Dale Liston left with a new problem after Oracle collapse
- Mr Liston only learnt his home builder had gone broke on Facebook
- He claims the collapsed builder had just assured him 'everything was fine'
- Oracle Building Corporation has left some 300 homes unfinished
- It's the latest building company to collapse as the industry struggles
- Have you been impacted by a building company collapse? Email tips@dailymail.com
Skip bin contractors have added to the woes of a father-of-three who discovered his dream home will remain 'a shell' after the collapse of a major home builder.
Queensland man Dale Liston had been told 'everything was fine' by the company building his home at Logan Reserve in Brisbane's south, Oracle Building Corporation Pty Ltd - right up until the company collapsed on Thursday.
Mr Liston discovered the news of Oracle's demise while scrolling Facebook in hospital as he recovered from an operation for Crohn's Disease.
After leaving hospital Mr Listen returned to the site of his half-built house to discover piles of rubbish in the driveway.
Mr Liston, 33, said his heart sank when he saw the rubbish.
He told Daily Mail Australia it appeared the on-site bin contractors had just dumped the content of their skips on his property and taken their bins away in the wake of Oracle's collapse.
'I just felt defeated to be honest,' he said.
'It was disgusting. No, actually, pathetic.
'I just got out of hospital and the first thing I did was go and check on my house, just to see piles of rubbish.'
Dale Liston, here pictured with wife Pieta, only learnt that the firm building his house, Oracle Homes, had collapsed when he was idly scrolling though Facebook while in hospital
Mr Liston shared these pictures with Daily Mail Australia of the contents of on-site skip bins dumped on his unfinished property, he claims, by the bin contractors
Mr Liston said he understood the contractors were probably frustrated as well, but would have preferred they dumped the contents of the bins at Oracle's door
Mr Liston said at first he wanted to find the skip bin contractors and contact them himself.
'(After I saw it) I was going through old photos and I couldn't see the name of the company... The bins seemed to all have been sprayed black in older photos.
'I probably would've wanted to have torn them a new one.'
He said he could understand the frustration of the contractors who have also suffered as a result of recent collapses of home building companies.
'I understand (the bin contractors) are probably a bit dirty and maybe haven't been paid - but they've dumped it out the front of my property. If they'd dumped them out the front of Oracle's door, I wouldn't have cared less.'
The piles of rubbish now present a further financial problem for the father-of-three.
'It's work that I'm going to have to do. And it's just more money, I'll have to hire another skip bin and I just got out of hospital after surgery so I probably shouldn't be lifting anything. I'll probably have to pay someone else to come and do it.
'Even the temporary fencing company stripped their fencing but left the damaged panels on the property.'
Queensland legislation also means Mr Liston will have to find a way to secure his property as soon as possible, after the state's industry watchdog the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) had informed him that he's liable if anyone is hurt on the property.
Oracle went into liquidation on Thursday after asking customers for more money to finish their homes and missing deadlines, leaving around 300 home unfinished and owing at least $14million to creditors.
The predicament led to a confrontation between Mr Liston and the company's managing director, Tom Orel.
Despite having spent $350,000 so far for the land and to build his house, Mr Liston has been left with 'a shell' that still needs a lot of work to complete
Interior shots taken of Mr Liston's house in August reveal how little has been done. The house was originally scheduled to be ready in May
'I went to his (Mr Orel's) office on the public holiday demanding to speak with him,' Mr Liston said.
'He tried to kick me out.'
The crisis in the construction industry has left would-be homeowners in the lurch with thousands of homes across the country stranded as building companies topple.
Mr Liston allowed himself a single tear as he learnt his family's 'first and last home' would be abandoned by the building company to which he had already paid $350,000.
Mr Liston, with wife Pieta, said he had intended the house to be his first and last home for his family, which includes three children
'When I found out, I am not going to lie, I had a little tear because of being here (in hospital) and finding all this out about my health and then this just to top off the cake,' he said.
Mr Liston, who works as a warehouse manager, said his house at Logan Reserve on the Brisbane's southern edges, was a 'shell' and revealed the construction, due to be complete in May, had been delayed extensively even before Oracle's collapse.
The collapse of Oracle left around 300 homes unfinished with the failed company owing at least $14 million to creditors
Mr Liston said his house, which he signed a contract for in June 2021, was originally meant to be finished in May.
Oracle was put in the hands of liquidators the Robson Cotter Insolvency Group on Thursday.
Mr Orel has been contacted by Daily Mail Australia for comment.
A statement from the liquidators said Mr Orel was cooperating fully with them.
Mr Liston said he had a confrontation with Oracle managing director Tom Orel in July where Mr Orel (pictured) tried to 'kick him out of the office'
'Mr Orel has highlighted the well known difficult circumstances prevailing in the construction industry, including the recent and rapid rise in construction costs,' the statement said.
'These factors resulted in cost overruns and delays in project completions, which severely impacted the company's cash flows and its capacity to continue to operate despite the owners and staff's best endeavours.'
Mr Liston accused Mr Orel of operating as if nothing was wrong up until very recently.
'He was still trying to sell houses last week and he was still asking people for price increases last week,' Mr Liston said.
'He would have known this was coming.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11147795/Oracle-collapse-leaves-Queensland-father-shell-house-piles-rubbish-front.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-26T05:45:27Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11147795/Oracle-collapse-leaves-Queensland-father-shell-house-piles-rubbish-front.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — It seems like just yesterday when 3NEWS reported on the devastation wrought by Hurricane Harvey.
And it seems like just yesterday we were saying good bye to former Chief Meteorologist Bill Vessey.
Thursday, Mr. Bill was back home at Channel 3 meeting his predecessor, Alan Holt.
The topic, appropriately enough: Hurricane Harvey.
"Looking back I can't believe how underestimated the storm was by all of the guidance, all of the modeling, just way under," Holt said.
Harvey was the first hurricane to hit the Texas coast since 2008 when Hurricane Ike came through the Houston area and the first major (category 3 or better) hurricane to hit Texas since Bret in 1999.
The storm was costly.
"I think people look back, especially in the City of Corpus Christi that it was bad. But the poor people in Port Aransas and Rockport. I mean what we got was bad," Vessey said.
Aransas Pass removed around 459,000 cubic yards of Harvey damage with the total cost being nearly $8.3 million. According to FEMA, the City of Corpus Christi removed more than 450,000 cubic yards of vegetation, construction, and demolition debris following Hurricane Harvey. The cost of removal was almost $12 million.
Vessey added that while the storm impacted many residents throughout the Coastal Bend, preparedness made all the difference when it came to preserving life.
When you look back at everything you had to do to get ready, man it takes a couple of days," Vessey said.
Harvey destroyed numerous homes and properties when it hit Coastal Bend shores some five years ago. However, Holt said that with all the devastation that took place, the Coastal Bend had many reasons to be optimistic.
"Another thing that came out of it, a positive if there is one, is that there were no direct fatalities as the storm came in," Holt said.
Having been there for South Texas for numerous hurricanes and countless severe weather events, Vessey said that to this day, he still recalls the magnitude that Harvey brought to the Coastal Bend.
"The one takeaway from that storm, when anybody asks me 'what do you remember about that storm?' And it is, that there's a lot of people around today who may have not been, or may not be now, if it wasn't for not only us, but the weather service, everybody involved. We saved lives that night," Vessey said.
He added that when it came time for people to either evacuate or fortify their homes, he gave crucial advice for those who chose the latter.
"That night before it hit Rockport I remember saying 'if you are in Rockport and you decided to stay and if things get bad get in your bathtub and put a mattress over you,'" Vessey said. After the storm I met a lady who was in a mobile home in Rockport, she hoped in the tub and put a mattress on top of her. She said it saved her life."
Holt remembers feeling the immediate impacts of Harvey when he was finally allowed to leave the station to go home. He said that the damage was more than what he originally anticipated.
"There was no lights, no cars, no power anywhere," Holt said. "I got to my apartment, and it was a three story apartment right on the Oso Bay and the bottom floor, the top floor, the windows were gone. Mine were there and I was thinking 'there's no way the bayside windows are gonna be there.'"
Being aware of the dangers weather can bring to coastal shores, Holt understands that he was one of the fortunate, and could only wonder what life was like for those who were caught in the storms path.
"I remember lighting a candle, taking a shower, blowing it out, getting into bed and I could still her pings of glass breaking, metal rolling," Holt said. "I'll never forget thinking how much worst it probably was for not only Rockport, but Refugio and all those inland communities."
Despite everything that took place, both seasoned meteorologists agreed that helping the community was, and still is their upmost importance.
"I got so many hugs," Vessey said. "People crying, thank you, thank you, thank you, I'm happy we made it."

Spokesperson denounces DPP's attempts to pursue "Taiwan independence" by soliciting external support
BEIJING, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- The attempts by Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities to pursue "Taiwan independence" by soliciting the support of external forces will not impede China's path to reunification and national rejuvenation, a mainland spokesperson said on Thursday.
Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks when responding to a media query regarding the recent launch of the Indo-Pacific forum by the so-called Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), which confused right and wrong on the Taiwan question and falsely called the Chinese mainland a "threat to Taiwan."
The so-called IPAC is a small group of extreme anti-China elements that is trying to make provocations concerning the Taiwan question, Ma said, noting that the mainland has imposed sanctions on some of its members.
Ma said that attempts by the DPP authorities to collude with such heinous organizations are nothing but the farcical attempts of separatist forces, banking on external anti-China forces, to seek "Taiwan independence."
"Such moves will not stop the process of China's reunification and national rejuvenation," he said.

Criminal charges dropped against three Victoria Police officers accused of breaking man's neck
By Lexie JeuniewicA Melbourne court has dropped all criminal charges against three police officers accused of leaving a man a quadriplegic after an arrest five years ago.
Key points:
Police officers Benjamin Timpson, Gregory Cressall, and Lachlan Barr were accused of negligently causing serious injury during an arrest
All charges against the policemen were withdrawn in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court today and the IBAC was ordered to pay their legal costs
The IBAC said in a statement that it would continue to focus on the integrity of police
Benjamin Timpson, Gregory Cressall and Lachlan Barr were called to respond to a noise complaint at the Warrnambool home of Chris Karadaglis in November 2017.
They were accused of handcuffing the 47-year-old and dragging him out of his flat during the arrest.
Mr Karadaglis claimed the officers placed him in a headlock that caused his neck to break.
The incident sparked an investigation, Operation Blackmore, by the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC).
In June last year, IBAC charged the three officers with negligently causing serious injury.
But this morning Office of Public Prosecutions (OPP) lawyer Melinda Bossio successfully applied to have the charges dropped during a special hearing in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court.
Magistrate Olivia Trumble also approved an application from the police officers' lawyer, Tony Hargreaves, for IBAC to pay their legal costs.
In a statement, an IBAC spokesperson said "police integrity around the use of force remains a significant focus of IBAC's work".
"IBAC is currently preparing a special report on Victoria Police use of force which will outline police misconduct risks, vulnerabilities and opportunities to strengthen Victoria Police's practices," the statement said.
'Enduring stress'
Police Association Victoria secretary Wayne Gatt said the union was "pleased that these members can now get on with their life and their work after the enduring stress this process has caused them".
"The Police Association Victoria is proud to have been by their side, representing them as they defended these charges," Mr Gatt said in a statement.
"Our members do the most difficult and challenging job in Victoria.
"That is never lost on us and it should never be lost on the community they serve."
Victoria Police has been contacted for comment. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-26/charges-dropped-against-police-accused-of-breaking-mans-neck/101376344 | 2022-08-26T06:02:47Z | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-26/charges-dropped-against-police-accused-of-breaking-mans-neck/101376344 | true |

Digital Asset Market Lost $1 Billion Last Week
Digital asset investment products have lost a total of $1 billion in small trades (up to $9 million) between August 15 and August 21, down to 55% of their total. The year’s average and the second low in 2022, as reported by Coinshares weekly.
Much of the decline came from the US, Germany, and Sweden. Countries recorded outflows of $10 million, $2.4 million, and $2.1 million, respectively. Small inflows were recorded from Brazil, with $2.5 million, and Switzerland, with $1.9 million.
Even so, the market fell to its second low of the year, showing low levels of investor participation. Last week’s upward price movement could also boost sales from investors looking for short-term profits.
Cash flow of assets
Bitcoin recorded its third consecutive week of dumps, losing a total of $15 million between August 15-21. Outflows were recorded at $29 million and $21 million, respectively, for the weeks of August 8 to August 14 and August 1 to August 7. Short-Bitcoin, on the other hand, recorded a small outflow of $0.2 million.
Ethereum, on the other hand, has a negative sentiment and recorded an outflow of up to $3 million. The property has closed for weeks with inflows since mid-June, which could be thanks to Merge. The 9-week entry is equivalent to $162 million.
Regarding other altcoins, Cardano recorded a small inflow of $0.5 million, while Solana ended the week with an outflow of $1.4 million. Blockchain stocks also moved in tandem with the overall market outflow, losing $1.6 million in total.
While the overall market recorded losses, European exchanges recorded significant inflows totaling $20 million. On the other hand, exchanges from North and South America saw an outflow of $36 million last week. | https://www.binance.com/en/news/flash/7183030 | 2022-08-26T06:18:04Z | https://www.binance.com/en/news/flash/7183030 | true |
On this day 2014: Angel Di Maria completes British record £59.7m move to Man Utd
Angel Di Maria completed a British record £59.7million transfer to Manchester United on this day in 2014.
Argentina international Di Maria signed a five-year contract and was given the number seven shirt which was previously worn by club greats George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.
At the time, Di Maria became the sixth most expensive player in the world behind Real Madrid signings Gareth Bale, Ronaldo and James Rodriguez as well as Barcelona duo Luis Suarez and Neymar.

He arrived at Old Trafford after he helped his country reach the World Cup final in Brazil, where they were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Germany after extra-time, and produced a player-of-the-match performance in Real’s Champions League final win over city rivals Atletico Madrid.
But the high-profile signing struggled to live up to his reputation during an unimpressive single-season stay at Old Trafford.
He made an encouraging start to life in England as he scored three times in his first five top-flight appearances.
However, things soon deteriorated as he then failed to net again in his final 22 league appearances, but still managed 10 assists during his spell.

It was widely known that Di Maria failed to adapt to life in England due to family circumstances and the burgling of his Cheshire home during his first months with the club.
The Red Devils decided to cut their losses with Di Maria when he was sold to French club Paris St Germain for £44.3m the following summer.
Since leaving Manchester, the 34-year-old remained with PSG for eight years, lifting five Ligue 1 titles before making a summer switch to Juventus. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11148195/On-day-2014-Angel-Di-Maria-completes-British-record-59-7m-Man-Utd.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-26T06:29:32Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11148195/On-day-2014-Angel-Di-Maria-completes-British-record-59-7m-Man-Utd.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Star Wars memorabilia auction 'out of this world'
- Published
An enormous and "rare" collection of Star Wars memorabilia, from one careful owner, is going under the hammer.
Hundreds of boxed figures and collectables from the sci-fi franchise will be auctioned off at Willingham, near Cambridge, on Saturday.
They include a rare 1978 radio-controlled Jawa Sandcrawler, in its original box, which could fetch £1,000.
Auctioneer Stephen Drake said: "It's a very special collection - out of this world, one would say."
The collection has been divided into separate lots, each containing dozens of mint condition boxed figures.
Many of the individual lots are estimated to fetch up to £300 at a time - with the entire collection valued at tens of thousands of pounds, according to the auction website.
Mr Drake said the pieces dated from 1978 onwards, depicting each of the nine movies in the franchise and all from "one person's collection".
"The value is in its thousands," he said.
"You're talking quite a few thousand figures in amongst the whole lot. Some of the early pieces - the Star Wars 17 figures - they're rare."
The collection ranges from figurines of the popular characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader and Princess Leia, to more obscure fighters and droids - as well as weapons, fan club magazines and posters.
Mr Drake said the auction has piqued a lot of interest on social media.
"The Jawa could be upwards of £1,000, but it's an auction, that's the exciting thing, so we'll see," he said.

Turks frustrated by 'deliberate' increase in number of European visa rejections
By Ceyda Caglayan and Ezgi Erkoyun
ISTANBUL, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Turkish sports presenter Sinem Okten was surprised to see her visa application to Europe's Schengen area rejected twice, having visited often to cover matches and interview figures like Italian keeper Gianluigi Buffon and Liverpool's Juergen Klopp.
"I applied first to Germany then to France. Both rejected my application," she said. "I've travelled abroad numerous times to follow and film matches and interview people, maybe 50-60 times. This is the first time I am having this problem."
Turks applying for visas to the 26 Schengen countries are increasingly being rejected, data shows, and tours are being cancelled. Ankara said this week it was a deliberate effort to put President Tayyip Erdogan in a difficult position ahead of tight elections next year, a charge the European Union denies.
According to data from schengenvisainfo.com, 16.5% of applicants from Turkey last year were denied a visa, up from 12.5% a year earlier. Schengen rejections were only 4% in 2015 and started ramping up in 2017 for Turks, it shows.
The visa costs - amounting to some 100 euros, or a third of Turkey's minimum wage - are not refundable whether a visa is issued or not.
"Overall, the rejection rates for Schengen visa applications have increased worldwide...however, when compared to other countries like Russia, Turkey's rejection rate growth is way bigger and consistent," said Shkurta Januzi, editor-in-chief at SchengenVisaInfo.com.
Okten said the German embassy gave no reason for rejecting her application. A document from the French embassy, seen by Reuters, said it did not see enough evidence that the TV presenter could finance her stay in France or return to Turkey.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said he believed the lengthy processing times and an increase observed in rejection rates were deliberate, adding that he raised the issue in meetings with his counterparts.
"Unfortunately, the U.S. and some EU and non-EU western countries give our citizens visa appointments one year, 6-7-8 months later. They also increased the rejection rate. This is planned and deliberate," he said on Tuesday.
Cavusoglu dismissed "excuses" related to coronavirus measures or personnel shortages, and said, without providing evidence, that the visa rejections were intended to give Erdogan a pre-election headache.
His ministry will warn ambassadors of some Western countries about the issue in September, he said. "If the situation does not improve after that we will take counter, restrictive measures."
Nikolaus Meyer-Landrut, head of the EU delegation to Turkey, told Reuters the Schengen applications are treated on their merits and not on political grounds, adding relatively more incomplete and potentially fraudulent applications are seen from Turkey.
"No decisions are taken on political grounds but rather on objective grounds," he said, adding Turkey's rejection rate last year was near the global rate of 13-14% for Schengen visas.
TOURS CANCELLED
Twenty-two of the 26 Schengen area members are EU states.
Turkey and the bloc enjoy good trade ties and decades of migration however relations are strained over issues including freedom of speech in Turkey and EU policies on refugees from Syria.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, Schengen states received more than 900,000 visa applications annually from Turkey but that figure had dropped to around 270,000 in 2021.
Citizens from all Schengen countries are exempt from visas when visiting Turkey, most for up to 90 days, and some can enter with only their ID cards, according to Turkey's foreign ministry website.
As more and more Turks are being rejected, tour operators have cancelled regular trips, Tur Andiamo chairman Cem Polatoglu said.
"We are having problems. Our tours are getting cancelled. We used to schedule tours to Italy every week, now we have to offer them every fortnight," Polatoglu said.
At a visa application centre in Istanbul, 57-year-old Hikmet Dogan said it was easier to get a visa in his previous trips to see his son in Sweden.
"I travelled 2-3 times but this time it is harder, the costs jumped too...Unfortunately young people are trying to leave the country as the Turkish economy is getting worse," Dogan said.
Beyond the Schengen area, the United States vowed on Wednesday to expand its visa processing capacity in Turkey after the foreign minister's public complaints.
Okten, the sports presenter, said she would continue her efforts to secure a visa.
"The season started and I need to cover some matches on site. I need to be able to travel abroad to do my job...I will apply again and try my chance through Greece this time," she said.
